World Alliance Forum in San Francisco
Our knowledge of human stem cells is quickly deepening and expanding today, as are the possibilities and visions of stem-cell applications, ranging from disease research and drug development to growing entirely new organs for transplant. While stem-cell technologies are creating a paradigm shift in the field of medicine and society at large, many challenges still remain before we are able to benefit from them. This year's World Alliance Forum will bring together many leading figures in the academic, industry and regulatory arenas, including Dr. Shinya Yamanaka, the 2012 Nobel-Prize winning iPS-cell expert.
This year's Forum will focus on the exciting possibilities of stem-cell technology as well as the challenges that need to be overcome for practical application. It is the forum's goal to: (1) discuss the exciting possibilities of stem-cell applications and how they will affect our future; (2) examine the accompanying research, business and systemic hurdles; and (3) establish networks of experts for the development of stem cells and regenerative medicine as an industry. The profit raised in this forum will be used towards the industrialization of regenerative medicine and cultivation of human resources.
In the morning, the Forum will host ambitious startups and companies taking advantage of the waves of new academic discoveries in the field of stem cells and regenerative medicine. Businesses in other areas – such as bio-device manufacturing, insurance, law, and IT – will also be invited to discuss what regenerative medicine means to them. Finally, investors, incubators, and academics will join the conversation to explore ways to build a collaborative environment in the new stem cell and regenerative medicine industries.
The Forum will feature Dr. Yamanaka's Keynote Speech and other speeches and panel discussions by top researchers such as Drs. Irving Weissman (Stanford University), Deepak Srivastava (Gladstone Institutes), Hiromitsu Nakauchi (University of Tokyo), and Hideyuki Okano (Keio University). In the main panel, they will be joined by another Nobel Prize recipient, Dr. Paul Berg (Stanford University). The topics in the afternoon will include how their research will be applied and what impact these applications will have on medicine and the society at large. The Forum will be concluded with a networking reception.
The Forum will be open to the public. Registration is now open, and the Early-Bird offer will expire on September 30, 2013. For more information and to register, please visit www.wafsf.org.
The 2013 World Alliance Forum in San Francisco is organized by the Alliance Forum Foundation; co-organized by Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco; sponsored by Rohto Pharmaceutical, DEFTA Partners, Medipost, TOMY Digital Biology, ReproCELL, Plasticell, and many more; and supported by Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (ARM), California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences (QB3), Gladstone Institutes, Hara Research Foundation, Alliance Forum Executive Club, Japan Bio Community (JBC), Japan Society of Northern California, Japanese Chamber of Commerce of Northern California (JCCNC), Japanese University Network of the Bay Area (JUNBA), Keizai Society, and US-Asia Technology Management Center at Stanford University.

The Christmas Mountains involve 9,269 acres in Brewster County, just north of Big Bend National Park. Patterson's proposed sale in 2007 triggered opposition from environmental groups.

We use some of the premier air carriers, like Lufthansa and British Air. It is cheaper to fly on an Arab airline like Royal Jordanian, but you have to land in an Arab country where you must spend the night. We will be flying directly into Israel, landing at Tel Aviv. An overnight stay in an Arab country like Jordan raises problems of safety and health, especially health, because a person can get sick easily from drinking the water or eating any uncooked food. Also, a lot of time is wasted crossing the border into Israel. Depending on the number of tourists present at the border, the crossing can take from 2 to 5 hours. And another border crossing must be made at the end of the trip since you must depart from the same airport where you landed. You should also avoid economy carriers like Israir. Their equipment is shoddy; their crew members are rude; their food is awful; and they cram the seats together to load the maximum number of passengers.
Some groups cut costs by using kibbutz motels or Arab hotels. The kibbutz hotels are okay, but they are in remote locations, and they are not first class. The Arab hotels are pretty awful. It would not be unusual to sit in the dining room and watch cats play on the counters in the kitchen! We stay at first class, five star Jewish hotels.
Be sure to check to see what meals are provided. Some groups provide only breakfast, and it is often continental style. We provide all three meals each day.
Some groups cut costs by using Arab guides. This will absolutely ruin your trip because the Arab guide will spend the entire time running down Israel and giving you a very distorted picture of what is going on in the Middle East.
Make certain to check to see what is covered by the cost of the trip, and what is not covered. Believe it or not, there are unethical tour operators who offer a rock bottom cost that does not even include the entrance fees to the places on the itinerary! Thus, when the group arrives at a site like Masada, they suddenly discover that they must pay the entrance fee, including the cost of the sky tram. Our tours include the entrance fees to all sites listed on the itinerary. When the cost of a trip is so low that it seems too good to be true — beware!
The first time I went to Israel the trip was a gift. I had no choice about the group I would go with. The leader was a wonderful man of God, but he didn't know anything about Israel or the Jewish people. He had to rely entirely on the guide. I have since been to Israel over 40 times. I know the country and its people very well. And I know how the land relates to the Bible. The staff members I take along are also very knowledgeable about the land and the people. Don't go with a leader who knows nothing about the land and its people.
The first time I went to Israel, I was not given any resources to help me prepare for the trip. We provide a very carefully prepared booklet that is designed to introduce you to the land and its people. And we provide you with a list of other recommended resources.
The vast majority of tours follow a standard itinerary that is dictated by the tour agency. I personally design every aspect of our tours. That's one of the reasons that we spend a day in Tel Aviv. Most tours spend no time at all in this city. That's a shame, because there is a lot to see in Tel Aviv, including things like Independence Hall which relate directly to Bible prophecy. Over the years I have diligently sought out unusual, out of the way places for our groups to visit. We see a lot of the standard places, but we go to many that are off the beaten track.
Many group trips to Israel turn out to be just tours, and nothing more. Our trips are spiritual pilgrimages. We go there for spiritual purposes: to draw nearer to the Lord and to develop a better understanding of His Word. We focus on the visitation of sites that relate either to the life of Jesus or to end time Bible prophecy. We conduct devotionals at each of these spots and we do Bible studies when time permits.
The bottom line is that you get what you pay for. I'll never forget one lady who made her second trip with one of our groups. She was amazed at how nice our hotel was in Tel Aviv the first night. When I told her it was nothing all that special, she explained that on her previous trip her husband had insisted on purchasing the cheapest tour he could find. The result was that on their first night in Tel Aviv, they stayed in a hotel that had no electricity (they were issued candles at the check-in desk!) and had gang baths at the end of each hall! Again, you get what you pay for!

Today, Live Action released a new undercover video showing a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Austin, TX encouraging a woman to obtain a late-term abortion because she was purportedly carrying a girl and wanted to have a boy. The video is first in a new series titled "Gendercide: Sex-Selection in America," exposing the practice of sex-selective abortion in the United States and how Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion industry facilitate the selective elimination of baby girls in the womb.

One of the first weighted push toys we've seen in years. The wooden frame is smooth and finished in bright primary colors. Three see-though rollers turn as it is pushed forward. The primary colored balls and blocks inside rumble as they tumble. We can picture a toddler racing this from room to room delighting in the action and sound. This is a great choice for toddlers who like using their new found locomotion to make things happen. They also like holding on as they get used to walking on their own. You may need to tighten the screws on the side of this from time to time or at least heck them to be sure they are staying secure. We usually prefer hardware not to be exposed, but these are nicely encased, but we are simply suggesting you check them as the toy gets used. For beginning walkers.
Age: Toddlers. Award Year: 2012.
For the toddler on the go, here's a tot size push toy that has a quiet but very pleasing clacking sound. Made of wood, this is one of those classic kinds of toys that is short lived, but matches the beginning walking stage. It is not for kids who are still wobbly on their feet. It is just right for the upright tot who is steady but likes holding on to something. The fit-together handle has licks of orange and big yellow wheels with a rainbow of color pieces that click as they turn. This kind of push toy comes before the pull toy that involves looking over the shoulder as they go. With a push toy the action is in plain sight and not too distracting. Unlike too many wooden toys, this one is smoothly and beautifully finished! Also cute and pleasing, the Hape Lawnmower; same idea with a slightly different sound and a more pastel look.
Age: Toddlers. Award Year: 2012. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
A real beginning point for balance bikes. Two wide wheels makes this a good choice for twos. We liked that it actually steers (most bikes for toddlers no longer have turning capability) and we also gave high marks for making it a gender-neutral red. Some of our 2s had legs that were too long - so as with any ride-on vehicles, we recommend that you bring your child to the store before you buy. Marked 18 months & up, but as we noted really depends on your child. We still LOVE this company's Plasmacar.
Age: Toddlers. Award Year: 2012. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
Our testers loved the clicky-clack sound of this old-fashioned handsomely crafted wooden push toy. This is intended for steady on their feet walkers who will enjoy their new found mobility. The three wooden balls are safely enclosed in the open slated drum. Can be used both indoors and out. Marked 12 months & up, but only if your one year old is completely steady on his feet. It goes way to fast for children that are still wobbly.

Finding a low-to-the-ground ride-on that actually steers but doesn't tip over is not so easy. At last, we have good news! This yellow construction truck is a combo fun for beginning walkers it can be used as a push toy and for foot to the ground riding. Sound buttons on the steering wheel will make a hit with toddlers and happily for adults, it has a volume control. It also comes with a detachable toolbox for beginning pretend play-for the older tots. The seat is more comfy than the company's earlier ride-on dump truck. This is really basic gear for active play and building big muscles. They say 1 & up. We say this is best for toddlers who are steady on their feet, which is often a little later.
Age: Toddlers, Preschool. Award Year: 2012. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
Nutty Squirrel rolls along pushing an acorn that turns as Squirrel's bushy tail goes back and forth. This is one pull toy that is not only cute, it was designed with all the right safety features! Unlike so many pull toys with long strings that can be dangerous, this one has a breakaway feature to prevent any accidental choking should the toy be put around a toddler's neck. Unlike some the bead handle at the end is too large to fit into a choke tube or child's mouth. In fact it is easier for a toddler to grasp and pull. This is marked for 18 months and up. Like all pull toys, it is best for tots who are steady on their feet and able to look over their shoulder without tripping. For new walkers start with push toys they can see as they walk forward and then move on to the fun of pull toys like this Nutty Squirrel.
Age: Toddlers. Award Year: 2011.
A marvelous Diva fabric 8" chime ball with a jolly jingle safe inside and plenty of surface textures to explore. There are colorful satin knotties, textured loop to hold, a crinkle velour patch, ribbon tabs and furry no-shed fringe. Each segment of the ball has a different fabric--high contrast black and white, velour with stars and another with hot pink splotches, silvery dots, and corded lavender velour.A perfect toy for first social games. Rolling the ball back and forth or crawling after it.

A marvelous Cute As a Button fabric 8" chime ball with a jolly jingle safe inside and plenty of surface textures to explore.

Our tester took this to a NYC park for a spin...and it was a huge hit with everyone on the playground. The Taxi is the latest in Step 2's Push Along line that allows your child to enjoy a ride (while their feet are off the ground). Our latest toddler tester loves her drink holder. Our parent testers appreciate the seat belt for younger toddlers and the sturdiness of the design. A great way to get your toddler from point A to point B before they're ready to cycle themselves there.
Age: Toddlers. Award Year: 2011. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
Scaled just right for beginning walkers, this jolly push toy has a big multi-colored flower that turns and three butterflies that twirl above as it is pushed forward. The flower sits on bright green wheels and has a green handle. Holding something in their hand as they walk seems to help some beginning walkers with their balance. It's a way of holding on while letting go. This is not a weighted toy to hold them up. They need to be able to walk without it, but it is a fun toy to match their new-found walking abilities.
The company has signed a verification form complying with our safety requirements. We did not independently test this toy in a lab.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison announced Wednesday it's joining the MOOC movement, piloting four courses to the masses via the web that anyone in the world with a computer can take for free.
UW-Madison was among 29 universities in several countries that announced new partnerships with the online learning company Coursera, a platform for massive open online courses called MOOCs.
Private funding supports MOOCs; no state funding is involved in the free courses. As part of the partnership, Coursera promises the courses will continue to be free and will be delivered without advertising.
The courses don't offer college credit, though that possibility is being explored by established accrediting groups.

China Mainland Events
Assessing Threats Facing the U.S.-Korea Alliance
June 18, 2014 // 12:10pm — 6:00pm
Asia Program
The dynamism of Asian markets, China's rise, and Japan's quest to become a normal state, play key roles in determining the future of the US-ROK alliance. At the same time, U.S. perception of China's growing influence differs from that of Korea's. Similarly, Washington does not see eye-to-eye with Seoul over changes in Japan's policies. While the bilateral alliance remains strongest in dealing with North Korea, the two allies also have different views on dealing with this challenge.
The Philippines, Vietnam, and Territorial Disputes in the South China Sea
June 03, 2014 // 9:00am — 11:00am
Kissinger Institute on China and the United States
As Beijing continues to trumpet its "New Type of Great Power Relationship" with the United States, and the United States attempts to buttress its "Rebalance to Asia", Asia-Pacific nations keep a close eye on relations between the two giants. Watch the webcast or read the policy brief here.
Yan Xuetong on China's Foreign Policy
May 29, 2014 // 5:30pm — 6:30pm
Kissinger Institute on China and the United States
The Kissinger Institute on China and the United States and the American Mandarin Society invite you to a Chinese-language talk on China's foreign policy by one of China's leading public intellectuals, Professor Yan Xuetong, Dean of the Institute of Modern International Relations at Tsinghua University and Chief Editor of The Chinese Journal of International Politics.
Arctic 2014: Who Gets a Voice and Why It Matters
May 21, 2014 // 9:00am — 12:00pm
Polar Initiative
Tensions over security, access, and environmental impacts in the Arctic are rising. While members of the Arctic Council (Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, the United States) assert their established rights under new circumstances, an increasing number of non-Arctic states (including China, Korea, Japan, and Singapore) seek an active role in the region.
China and Antarctica

Book Talk with Kelly Sims Gallagher: The Globalization of Clean Energy Technology — Lessons from China
May 05, 2014 // 3:30pm — 5:00pm
China Environment Forum
Energy-related goods account for more than ten percent of international trade, yet policy makers, academics, and the business community perceive barriers to the global diffusion of these emerging technologies.
Russia in East Asia: History, Migration, and Contemporary Policy
May 05, 2014 // 9:00am — 11:00am
Kennan Institute
This talk explores Russia's ties with East Asia through the lens of migration and policy. Russia spans the Eurasian continent, yet its historic and present connections with East Asia are often forgotten. At the turn of the 20th century, thousands of Asian migrants arrived in the Russian Far East, spurring fears of a "yellow peril." A century later, the recent influx of new Asian migrants to Russia has generated similar sentiments. The talk discusses Asian migration in the context of cross-regional attempts to strengthen trade ties and diplomatic relations in the 21st century.
Weighing the "Rebalance": Obama in Asia
April 28, 2014 // 10:00am — 11:00am

In this Ground Truth Briefing conference call three experts on the ground in Tokyo, Seoul and Manila discuss the President's trip.

Kissinger Institute on China and the United States
The new report - Building U.S.-China Trust Through Next Generation People, Platforms and Programs - released by the University of Southern California and Peking University, offers new ideas and concrete recommendations on how to build trust and improve U.S.-China relations.
Environmental Pressures on China's Changing Cities and Countryside
April 23, 2014 // 9:00am — 11:00am

SCHUYLKILL HAVEN — How's this for a strange coincidence? A vehicle that belongs to a car repair shop in Schuylkill County was among a dozen vehicles that vandals damaged overnight. Plus, the business caught the crooks on camera.
It was 2:17a.m. Tuesday when a surveillance camera at Jack's Auto Supply on West Main Street in Schuylkill Haven recorded the video. You can see two men going from car to car, slashing tires with a knife, some repeatedly.
""I don't know what they get out of it. What would you get out of stabbing tires?" asked Jack, who owns Jack's Auto Supply.
Jack owns Jack's Auto Supply. He says some friends told him their car tires had been slashed. That's when he checked his surveillance tape and called police.
Police say two men slashed 17 tires on 13 cars on the west side of Schuylkill Haven.
"I don't think you could ever specifically identify a purpose other than it's mindless and a lack of morals," said Schuylkill Haven Police Chief Jeff Walcott.
For most of the people who got their tires slashed, it just affected their ability to get around town, but because Jack's wrecker is used for work, it also affected his job.
"Even today, you said that some of the other victims needed to be towed and fixed up, right?"
"Yes, I have to pick one up yet today, bring it here," said Jack.
Another woman, who did not want to be identified, had her and her husband's car tires slashed, costing about $300 per tire. She believes she also saw the vandals when she was walking home from work early in the morning.
"Now I have a fear of coming home in the dark, and if someone is that bold to come on the property, slice both tires, what else would they do?"
If you have any surveillance video or information about the tire slashings, you're asked to call Schuylkill Haven police.

The Graduate Center offers more than thirty doctoral programs in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, including History.
Learn about the Graduate Center's core faculty,
including Distinguished Professor David Joselit (pictured),
on the Faculty Profiles page.
Through its extensive public programming, the Graduate Center contributes to the intellectual and cultural vitality of New York City.
The Graduate Center has announced its
Doctoral Student Parental Accommodation Policies.
Support for the Graduate Center ensures continued excellence in arts and
sciences graduate education, research, and public programming.
The Ph.D. Program in Anthropology provides training in the discipline's four subfields: archaeology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and physical anthropology. In addition to course work, students have opportunities for fieldwork experience through faculty-directed practicums and summer research funding. The four-field requirement, together with opportunities for fieldwork and teaching, provides graduates with credentials not commonly available from doctoral programs.
Program Inception: 1966
There are four subfields within anthropology.
Archaeology pursues major issues in anthropological theory while providing rigorous training in archaeological method. Faculty research specializations include studies of the rise of the state, gender relations, historical archaeology, lithic analysis, prehistory, historical ecology, zooarchaeology, and the application of archaeological data and methods to global change research. Regional specializations include but are not limited to Mesoamerica, historical sites in the United States, and the North Atlantic.
Cultural Anthropology focuses on the material bases of inequality,analyzed in local/global contexts, combining historical and ethnographic approaches. It emphasizes the role of cultural interpretations in maintaining and reproducing power, as well as the role of identity politics, including nationalism, race/racism, diasporas, and social movements. Faculty are working toward a broad interdisciplinary synthesis of political-economic perspectives with insights from literary and cultural studies. Other strengths are medical anthropology, space and place studies, urban theory and ethnography, globalization, and human-environment relationships. Area expertise includes Eastern and Western Europe, Latin America/Caribbean, the United States, and the Middle East.
Linguistic Anthropology studies the role of language in culture and society, including its use in the manipulation of power, the production of ideology, and the deployment of speech genres in social interaction. Applications include language and communication in legal, medical, and educational settings, as well as in intercultural affairs.
Physical (Biological) Anthropology emphasizes evolutionary approaches to human and nonhuman primate biology in four main areas: comparative morphology, paleontology, biogeography, and systematics of humans and other primates; primate ecology and its relationships to both social behavior and conservation; genetics and its relationships to systematics, population biology, and disease vectors; and the biology of modern and recent humans, with a focus on adaptation, osteology, and bioarchaeology.

Jose Ortiz, 62, charge with aggravated sexual assault of a child
Jose Ortiz, 62, who was left to babysit two young girls, is accused of harming them instead.
Ortiz was arrested Tuesday on two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
An arrest warrant affidavit stated that the father of a 6-year-old girl contacted San Antonio police on March 8 after his daughter told him that Ortiz had kissed and fondled her.
The affidavit stated that the incident allegedly happened a week prior to that, when Ortiz was babysitting both that child and a 4-year-old girl.
Detectives later questioned the girls and Ortiz, and obtained enough information to make an arrest.
The affidavit stated that the 4-year-old girl said Ortiz also kissed and fondled her.

Woman rescued from Cambridge flat fire by police suffers burns
Posted: February 27, 2014|
A woman who was rescued from a fire by police officers suffered burns to her face.
The woman was trapped in the property in Ashbury Close, Coleridge, when a fire broke out in her living room shortly before 2pm today.
Police rescued the woman before firefighters got to the scene and left the victim in the care of paramedics, suffering burns to the face and suspected smoke inhalation.
A fire service spokeswoman said the most likely cause of the blaze was smoking materials.
Group commander Chris Parker said: "Smoking materials have been the cause of four fires in Cambridgeshire in the past week.
"Never leave a lit cigarette unattended and always make sure you dispose of hot ashes carefully. If you smoke when tired, or after drinking alcohol, the risk of falling asleep with a hot cigarette in your hand is high so never smoke in a chair if you think you may doze off, and never smoke in bed.
"Residents should also make sure they have a correctly fitted, working smoking alarm, tested weekly, on each floor of their house."

August 2, 2015
The weekly Thursday morning drought monitor has been released and shows that all of the Brazos Valley is now officially, no longer classified to be in a drought.
What you will find from this week's monitor is that our entire 16 county area -- with the exception of Southern San Jacinto and Southern Montgomery Counties -- is still classified as "Abnormally Dry" (noted in yellow).
Soil moisture and rain data is collected on Tuesday mornings at 6am. Last week's drought monitor could have very well reflected the same information we are receiving this morning, however most of last week's rainfall fell shortly after 6am Tuesday.
To give you a perspective on how much rain really has fallen in 2012 for Bryan / College Station: (as of Thursday Morning)
--January Rainfall: 2.78"
--February Rainfall: 9.30"
--March (to date) Rainfall: 8.56"
In 28 days, March quickly moved it's way up to the top of the list to become the wettest March ever on record for Bryan / College Station. With this year's rainfall already topping 20.64" -- 2012 in 3 months has had more rain fall than 2011 did in one whole year.
Since the last data collection, multiple inches of rain have fallen once again and could very well erase the "Abnormally Dry" classification in place. The next Drought Monitor will be released Thursday, April 5th at 7:30am.
More information on how the Drought Monitor is created can be found here.

Dancing With The Stars
Lacey Schwimmer Dyes Her Hair Golden Brown: Hot or Not?
Every so often, Dancing With the Stars pro Lacey Schwimmer morphs into a different person. When we first met her on So You Think You Can Dance, and at the start of her DWTS career, she was a brunette. Sometimes her hair was long and wavy, sometimes severely straight with bangs. Then she went platinum blonde and bodacious like our own version of Marilyn Monroe. Then she went for some cute pink My Little Pony hair.
Now she's on a different length and color. "Golden brown!" Lacey tweeted on January 31. "Thank you @Kelly__Michael for the color and @ElizabethLaGue for extensions....y'all are hair goddesses."
From Marilyn to Lauren Conrad? Loving it!
What do you think of Lacey's new look? Vote in our poll below.
