Cell division is necessary for the reproduction, growth, and repair of organisms.
Cell division must be initiated by a reproductive signal. Before a cell can divide, the genetic material (DNA) must be replicated and segregated to separate portions of the cell. Cytokinesis then divides the cytoplasm into two cells.
In prokaryotes, most cellular DNA is a single molecule, usually in the form of a circular chromosome. Prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission. Review Figure 9.2
In eukaryotes, cells divide by either mitosis or meiosis. Eukaryotic cell division follows the same general pattern as binary fission, but with significant differences in detail. For example, eukaryotic cells have a distinct nucleus (not just a chromosome) that must be replicated. Replicated chromosomes, called sister chromatids, must be separated by mitosis.
Cells that produce gametes undergo a special kind of nuclear division called meiosis; the two nuclei produced by meiosis are not genetically identical.
The eukaryotic cell cycle has two main phases: interphase (during which cells are not dividing) and mitosis or M phase (when cells are dividing).
During most of the cell cycle, the cell is in interphase, which is divided into three subphases: S, G1, and G2. DNA is replicated during the S phase. Mitosis and cytokinesis take place during the M phase. Review Figure 9.3
Cyclin/Cdk complexes regulate the passage of cells through checkpoints in the cell cycle. The suppressor protein RB inhibits the cell cycle. Cdk4 and Cdk2 act in concert to inactivate RB and allow the cell cycle to progress beyond the restriction point. Review Figure 9.6
Controls external to the cell, such as growth factors and hormones, can also stimulate the cell to begin a division cycle.
See Web/CD Tutorial 9.1
In mitosis, a single nucleus gives rise to two nuclei that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent nucleus.
DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones, forming beadlike units called nucleosomes. A eukaryotic chromosome contains strings of nucleosomes bound to proteins in a complex called chromatin. Review Figure 9.8
At mitosis, the replicated chromatids are held together at the centromere. Each chromatid consists of one double-stranded DNA molecule. Review Figure 9.9, Web/CD Activity 9.1
Mitosis can be divided into several phases, called prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
During mitosis, sister chromatids, attached by cohesin protein, line up at the equatorial plate, and attach to the spindle. The chromatids separate (becoming daughter chromosomes) and migrate to opposite ends of the cell. Review Figure 9.10, Web/CD Activity 9.2
Nuclear division is usually followed by cytokinesis. Animal cell cytoplasm usually divides by a contractile ring made up of actin microfilaments. In plant cells, cytokinesis is accomplished by vesicles that fuse to form a cell plate. Review Figure 9.12
Asexual reproduction produces a clone, a new organism that is genetically identical to the parent. Any genetic variation is the result of mutations.
In sexual reproduction, two haploid gametes—one from each parent—unite in fertilization to form a genetically unique, diploid zygote. There are several patterns of sexual life cycles: haplontic life cycles, alternation of generations, and diplontic life cycles. Review Figure 9.14, Web/CD Activity 9.3
In sexually reproducing organisms, certain cells in the adult undergo meiosis, a process by which a diploid cell produces haploid gametes. Each gamete contains a random selection of one of each pair of homologous chromosomes from the parent.
The numbers, shapes, and sizes of the chromosomes constitute the karyotype of an organism.
See Web/CD Tutorial 9.2
Meiosis consists of two nuclear divisions, meiosis I and meiosis II, that collectively reduce the chromosome number from diploid to haploid. It ensures that each haploid cell contains one member of each chromosome pair, and results in four genetically diverse haploid cells, usually gametes. Review Figure 9.16, Web/CD Activity 9.4
In anaphase I, entire chromosomes, each with two chromatids, migrate to the poles. By the end of meiosis I, there are two nuclei, each with the haploid number of chromosomes.
In meiosis II, the sister chromatids separate. No DNA replication precedes this division, which in other aspects is similar to mitosis.
During prophase I of the first meiotic division, homologous chromosomes undergo synapsis to form pairs in a tetrad. Chromatids can form junctions called chiasmata and genetic material may be exchanged between the two homologs by crossing over. Review Figure 9.18
Both crossing over during prophase I and the independent assortment of the homologs that migrate to each pole during anaphase I ensure that the genetic composition of each haploid gamete is different from that of the parent cell and from that of the other gametes.
In nondisjunction, one member of a homologous pair of chromosomes fails to separate from the other, and both go to the same pole. Pairs of homologous chromosomes may also fail to stick together when they should. Both problems can lead to one gamete having an extra chromosome and another lacking that chromosome. Review Figure 9.20
The union of a gamete with an abnormal chromosome number with
a normal haploid gamete at fertilization results in aneuploidy. Such genetic abnormalities are invariably harmful or lethal to the organism.
Cells may die by necrosis, or they may self-destruct by apoptosis, a genetically programmed series of events that includes the detachment of the cell from its neighbors and the fragmentation of its nuclear DNA. Review Table 9.2
Apoptosis is regulated by external and internal signals. These signals result in activation of a class of enzymes called caspases that hydrolyze proteins of the cell, leading to its destruction. Review Figure 9.21

It's true: Sleep is directly correlated to your success in life and especially money. Get more sleep and you will be rewarded. You will feel better, get ill less often, stay physically younger, and most importantly accumulate more wealth with less effort. In my quest to save as much money as possible for my first home mortgage down payment, I am critically analyzing and improving my money savings plan every day. Sleep is a critical component of my personal savings plan. The reason sleep is so important to your personal finances and wealth can be summarized with one word: leverage.
Leverage means getting more done with less effort. It means making more money with less time invested. There are only so many hours per week. If you are not getting more done with less effort and time invested, you are going to take more time to reach you financial and life goals. To learn more about financial leverage you may wish to read books by Robert Kiyosaki. I highly recommend his books, they changed my life and especially how I view my personal finances. If you have leverage on your side, you will make more money, spend less time working, and have more time left over for your true interests in life. So what does leverage have to do with sleep? It's easy: More sleep equals more leverage.
Have you ever felt in the zone? You are working two, three, four, or even five times faster than normal. You are totally focused and producing the best quality output of you life. I sure have. Being in the zone is a combination of multiple things, with one critical component definitely being sleep. Get more sleep and the time you spend working will be far more productive. Here's the best thing: getting just one or two more hours of sleep each day will most likely double your productivity. Let's take an example. Say you sleep 6 hours each night right now and work 8 hours a day. Let's say you now decide to sleep 8 hours each night and work only 6 hours per day. Each of the 6 hours you work is now twice as productive as before so it's really like you're working 12 hours per day! This is the beauty of leveraging sleep to improve your life and personal finances.
One of the best ways to get more sleep is to exercise regularly. By working out, you will not only get more sleep at night but also get even more leverage because
exercise sharpens your mind and spirit.
Another way to get more sleep is to make sure your bed and mattress are comfortable. If you are sleeping on and old mattress of insufficient sheets and blankets, you may be hindering your ability to sleep. Because the leverage is so huge, I highly recommend investing in a new mattress and linens. You will quickly pay back your investment time and time again.
Another excellent way to improve your sleep is to understand if you snore of not. If you snore, you may have sleep apnea. Sleep apnea means you have trouble breathing when sleeping and actually wake up many times during the night. While you may not remember all of the sleep interruptions in the morning, your body definitely well. There are several stages of a successful sleep cycle and each time you wake up the cycle beings again. If you have severe sleep apnea, you may never progress to the REM stage which means your energy and leverage will be impaired during the day. If you suspect that you have sleep apnea, I highly recommend consulting your doctor. There are many products on the market which can help you get a better night's sleep and change your life.
For additional information on sleep apnea, you may wish to visit the American Sleep Apnea Association.
As a closing thought, getting more sleep is counterintuitive. Your body and mind will tell you to stay up and keep going. To achieve leverage in your life and wealth, you need to fight against these instincts to stay up. You need to consciously tell yourself to stop and go to sleep earlier knowing that that decision will greatly pay off in your leverage the next day. Best of luck to you in getting more sleep and reaching your goals in life, both personal and financial.

DURHAM, N.H. – Dane DiLiegro (Lexington, Mass.), a sophomore on the University of New Hampshire men's basketball team, was named one of 12 members of the United States men's basketball team that will compete at the 18th Maccabiah Games in Israel from July 12-23, 2009. The announcement was recently made by the head coach of the U.S. men's basketball Maccabiah team, Bruce Pearl, who is also the men's basketball head coach at the University of Tennessee.
"Dane is a big man who can really move his feet," Pearl said. "He's willing to bang and score when called upon. He's a terrific young man who will represent his country and UNH extremely well when we travel to Israel this summer."
|Dane DiLiegro
The Maccabiah Games, also referred to as the "Jewish Olympics," are held in Israel every four years and include the top Jewish athletes from around the world. The 17th games in 2005 attracted the largest Maccabiah attendance in history. With over 50 countries represented by 7,700 athletes, including 900 from the U.S., the Maccabiah Games became the third largest sporting event in the world. This year, the U.S. is looking to take over 1,000 athletes, including Olympic athletes such as swimmers Dara Torres and Jason Lezak.
"I'm excited to go out and represent my religion, as well as my country," DiLiegro said. "And obviously I want to bring some gold back to UNH."
DiLiegro becomes the sixth UNH athlete to participate in the Maccabiah Games, including the first basketball player.
"We're very proud of Dane for making the Maccabiah team," Bill Herrion, head coach of the UNH men's basketball team, said. "It is a tremendous opportunity for him, both basketball-wise and culturally. We think this is something that could really help his development as a player in the future."
DiLiegro traveled to Knoxville, Tenn., in June to partake in the two-a-day tryouts for four days. DiLiegro was one of about 40 players at the tryout, including the only college big man.
The 6-foot-8-inch, 240-pound center anxiously called U.S. assistant coach Harris Adler in early September to find out if there was any news on whether or not he had made the team. Adler told him not to worry and about a week later DiLiegro received a letter in the mail letting him know he had made the team.
"Dane plays real hard offensively," Adler, an assistant coach at LaSalle University, said. "He's very physical and tough and he's a rugged rebounder on both the offensive and defensive end. Having a post player is very important in international play and being a tough, hard-nosed post player is probably Dane's best attribute, on top of his good leadership qualities."
DiLiegro joins Duke's Jon Scheyer and Arizona State's Derek Glasser on the team, which won gold in 2001 and bronze at the previous Games in 2005. By making the U.S. squad, DiLiegro joins some elite company, including Dolph Schayes, one of the 50 Greatest NBA players of all-time, Hall of Fame basketball coach Larry Brown, and Mark Spitz, who won a then-record seven gold medals at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, an achievement surpassed only when Michael Phelps won his eighth gold medal of the 2008 Olympics.
"There aren't that many Jewish athletes out there, so I want to let everyone know that we can compete with the best in the world," DiLiegro said.
All athletes, coaches and trainers who participate in the Maccabiah Games must make a monetary commitment to the program. The obligation or "Yachad," meaning "together" in Hebrew, is shared among all participants.
DiLiegro must raise $3,300 in order to take part in the Games.
"I'm excited to do my part and do what I have to do to help us win," DiLiegro said. "It is something I can look back on and be proud of."

William J. Jr. Atfield
Unbeknownst to you, you touched the deepest recesses of my heart.
You are the oil that penetrated these old and rusted tight, hinges -
making it possible, to open, once again, the steely doors to my heart.
For what has seemed a life time, I thought - never again love to feel, love to experience,
love to express or to let in the life and light of love's forces, love's energies.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye - you cared not to see.
Blindness now reigns supreme - lost is that beautiful dream.
Nothing but harsh words, words of indifference - a spirit so mean
that comes at me in forceful waves, permeating every scene
that you and I - upon life's stage - play out our parts,
in costumes life's experiences have fashioned for us
that we - on our journey - have tailored in defense of our souls.
You where the key my Dear, - not ever wanting to be for fear -
that opened the lock, turned the clock, opened my heart for me
and a world - lost for so long - I believed I'd never again see.
That now is being destroyed, it's crumbling, soon to be all gone
and you contend, believe it was all - I who made it go wrong,
caring not to see, wanting not to hear the dirges that have become my song.
Now you want me to let it go, now you no longer want me to carry on.
Oh how I wanted to undress my heart, my spirit, my soul, all my dreams
lay them all - naked, free, new born - before your eyes - nothing to hide.
This I did for you, you did not see, you shot them down, you denied,
told me I was not your friend, told me I did not love you,
told me you had only two friends, Christina, Randy.
This left me no place to go - nothing more I can do.
Except remember - I think you are as sweet as candy.

One of the most important events every year at Cedar Point is a roller-coaster marathon that focuses on an age group whose members often are too short or too afraid to ride.
Cedar Fair's Coasting for Kids, which benefits children with life-threatening illnesses, raised more than $114,000 at 11 company parks Sunday, June 10.
The dollar amount is twice as much as the event generated in its first three years. The four-year total raised for Give Kids The World is more than $200,000. Give Kids The World is a 70-acre nonprofit resort in central Florida that provides free vacations for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.
The marathon machines at Cedar Point were Magnum XL-200 from 8-10 a.m. and Gemini from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. About 75 people participated, and some rode more than 100 times during the day.
Participants paid a $25 registration fee and had to raise a minimum of $75 to participate, and awards were given to the first-, second- and third-place individual fundraisers.
The top fundraisers were Kyle Miller with more than $3,500, Jason Hammond with almost $3,000 and Jeffrey Brashares with almost $2,200.
"This year's riders showed an unparalleled level of dedication and enthusiasm," Cedar Point spokeswoman Annie Zelm said. "Many have been personally impacted by these special children and their families, and they know that committing to one day of continuous coasting isn't much compared to what a sick child endures. We hope to bring at least twice as many riders on board next year and in the years to come as Coasting for Kids gains momentum."
Momentum comes easy on a roller coaster, especially when it's for a cause above and beyond entertainment. You just need some big drops and a lot of riders who want to make a difference.
Cedar Point has a lot of both.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to participate yet again this year because of previous commitments. But if anyone wants to team up for next year, let me know.
Tom Sherer is an award-winning graphic designer with the Sandusky Register and a Cedar Point enthusiast who visited the park 53 times in 2011. He chronicles his adventures in coasterland here at "Belaboring the Point."

Photos: Millennials get in touch with Denver during Fall Dinner at Civic Center Park
Most people don't venture into Civic Center Park at night, let alone have dinner there.
But Sunday night, CityBuild, a Downtown Denver Partnership initiative, did just that.
Nearly 150 people enjoyed a fall dinner under strings of lights with a bar, a DJ and two long dinner tables in the middle of the park as part of an initiative geared toward educating millennials about how they can better their city.
"Two hundred strangers eating dinner -- that doesn't happen ever," says Jenny Starkey, communications and media relations manager for the Downtown Denver Partnership. "I think more importantly, what we're trying to do is build community. We know Denver is the number-one city for millennials right now.... They're moving here because they want to be in Denver. If we can tap into this group of people that's already here, we can build that community and give them the tools to build a great downtown."
Isa Jones
In addition to a delicious meal, the event featured a number of speakers, who talked about everything from tactical urbanism to what CityBuild can do, as well as the conservation of Civic Center park.
Isa Jones
"Civic Center Park is gorgeous, and so much activity should happen there that is positive," Starkey says. "It has a bad rep."
Last night however, that reputation changed, if only temporarily. "Just a little bit of activation drives that negative activity away," Starkey says.
Isa Jones
This was the second event hosted by CityBuild; last month, the initiative held an "urban hackathon" to discuss big ideas people had for Denver. CityBuild chose those invited to the dinner through its own social networks and that of the Downtown Denver Partnership -- and expect a similar approach to future events. (Four or five are on the drawing board.) But every participant is encouraged to invite others in order to better "build an inclusive, informal format for giving millennials access to learn how to build a city."

More car classes at Trident Tech?
The Spring Spin-Off Car Show will take place for the 22nd time April 26 at Trident Technical College's main campus.
Its popularity is measured a number of ways, including the volume of car classes that auto buffs can enter. The show sponsors 20 categories, and organizers hand out trophies to the top three models per class.
All the same, show backers are getting word out that this might be a good time to form an additional class or classes.
Organizers have started the ball, er, wheel rolling in the official entry form. "Want to add a class?" it says. "Email (organizer) Buzz Varella at firstname.lastname@example.com."
According to Brad Davis, executive general manager of Rick Hendrick Imports and an organizer this year, the show would present an offer to interested parties.
If auto clubs team up and pre-register six or more cars in a "new" category, then Trident Tech would find a trophy sponsor and set up the class, he said. The pre-registration deadline is April 14.
For anyone who wants to know, the categories now are: 4 by 4, antique, Camaro and Firebird, Chevrolet, Corvair, Corvette, Ford/Lincoln Mercury, import, Model A, Mopar, Mustang years 1964 ½-'73, Mustang '74 and later, open, Porsche, race car, street performance, street rod, truck, Volkswagen/air-cooled and Volkswagen/Audi.
Meanwhile, the show doles out eight special trophies. They are Best of Show, Best Engine, Best Paint, Best Interior, People's Choice, President's (trophy), Advisory Board and Club Affiliation.
The Spring Spin-Off show will be held as usual on a Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the college's 7000 Rivers Ave. campus.
Proceeds benefit the Athell Yon Scholarship for automotive studies. For more information, visit www.tridenttech.edu/3971_car_show.htm or call Varella at 843-574-6184 or Clint Snider at 843-574-6275. There's no rain date and alcohol is prohibited.

SOAP Standard Interface: Sender and Receiver Effort
The effort involved to implement and maintain a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) service will differ across different environments. However, in general, IIS and external sending systems must address similar challenges.
Immunization Information Systems
Each IIS environment is unique, and implementing a SOAP service will require planning, design, and development efforts specific to the technical environment and IIS. While the act of creating the SOAP web service is only one of many steps in accomplishing health system interoperability, it is helpful to understand the entire process. At a high-level, the following areas must be addressed to implement the recommended SOAP service. Some of these steps may have already been completed by the IIS.
Hardware Evaluation
Evaluate current hardware to determine if the anticipated increased load warrants new or additional hardware. It is very possible the current hardware will be adequate, but it is important to evaluate and confirm.
Network Evaluation
Evaluate the current network to determine if the anticipated increased load warrants network upgrades. It is very possible that the current network will be adequate, but it is important to evaluate and confirm.
HL7 processing
Prior to creating your SOAP web service, the IIS must have the ability to accept, parse, process and respond to an HL7 V2 message. The WSDL for the SOAP web service is used as the contract between the sender and the receiver to pass the HL7 message as a string of data.
SOAP Service
Once an IIS has the ability to consume and respond to an HL7 V2 message, adding a SOAP service is the final step. The details within the implementation resources provide the necessary information to address SOAP service needs. As each IIS environment is unique, it would be pure conjecture to guess the exact effort required to add a SOAP service to an IIS. However, it is known from past projects that the timeframe is usually measured in months of effort rather than weeks or years.
Rolling out the SOAP service is, as can be expected, an on-going process similar to other data exchange initiatives. As new providers come on board and other providers upgrade existing software with SOAP capabilities, it is important to create a repeatable plan for working with providers. The plan should be tailored to the policies, programmatic environment, and operational needs of the IIS.
External Sending Systems (EHR, IHS, HIE, or other external Health System)
Presuming a sending system can already generate HL7 V2 messages, the technical effort by that system to begin an exchange with an IIS is a straightforward process:
- Retrieve the WSDL from the IIS
- Import the WSDL to generate Wrapper class
- Populate HL7 Message
- Open Connection
- Invoke API defined by the IIS WSDL
Obviously, there are non-technical steps involved in engaging with the IIS, getting credentials, automating the process outside of the technical environment, and assuring data quality. It is noted that each IIS has its own processes to follow in this regard and those will not be generalized here.
See SOAP Web Services for additional implementation resources.

The Coastal Montessori Charter School will be under new leadership next year but it will survive and the future looks promising.
That was the message delivered to parents of students who attend the Pawleys Island school which currently shares a campus with Waccamaw Middle.
The schools first director, Lonnie Yancsurak, is leaving in June and a committee is being formed to find his replacement.
Rob Horvath, chairman of the schools board of directors, reminded parents the school is a community, not just one person.
He said a seven-member panel is being put together to help find the new director. Two of the members will be parents. Yancsurak will also help with the search.
Since the school is now open, the job description for the incoming director will be rewritten.
Things have changed from when we first opened, Horvath said.
Even though the job has not yet been advertised, Horvath said three resumes have already been received.
We expect a slew of applicants. We had 80 last year, he said.
He said the job will be posted for 30 days and he expects to know the top contenders in the next two or three months.
At that time teachers will get to meet the finalists for the position.
Board member Chris Bird presented a facilities update. The school is expected to move away from the Waccamaw Middle campus in the next couple of years.
Bird said the board is working diligently to locate property for a new school to be built.
One location they are very interested in is ten acres owned by the University of South Carolina at the Prince George tract.
The property is on the west side of Highway 17 and must be used for educational purposes, according to the restrictions.
Funding for the new school and land purchase would come from a $5 million U.S. Department of Agriculture loan.
Horvath said the school made the USC Development Foundation a written offer which was rejected.
They will come up with a counter offer, he said. We are giving it our best shot to make this happen.
Horvath said the new school site needs to be closer to the City of Georgetown in order to attract more minority students.
According to a 1970s order from the U.S. Justice Department, schools in the district must have a racial balance within ten percent of the racial makeup of the community. Currently, that means minorities need to make up at least 40 percent of the student body. The school is 78 percent white.
Horvath said by making the move closer to Georgetown, it will be much easier for children to commute to the school.
The Justice Department has agreed to the move to the USC property but promised to keep an eye on the enrollment if the move is made.
Horvath said if the school is successful in acquiring the property, it can be one of the most magnificent learning environments anywhere.
He is encouraging parents and students to help by creating things such as YouTube videos explaining to USC how important it is that the school be allowed to purchase the property.
Yancsurak said 120 of the 145 students who currently attend the school have already signed to return next year.
More first graders are expected for the 2013-14 year so Yancsurak expects about 167 students in the schools sophomore year.
He said in order to pay the bills at least 200 students will be needed when the new school opens.
The school is currently for grades 1-6 but the first middle school grade is expected to be added in two years with grades added each year thereafter.
Yancsurak said the current plans are to have the first 12th grade class graduation from the school in 2020.

Bob McDonnell, Virginia abortion regulations popular in Va.
- (Photo: TBD Staff)
Virginia's new law requiring abortion clinics to meet hospital standards is one of the most stringent in the nation, and could potentially shutter most of the commonwealth's clinics. The law is being sharply criticized by liberals and left-leaning media, but Virginians? They love it — even those who know nothing about it!
According to a Quinnipiac poll, residents approve of the law by a 55-22 margin, with 20 percent undecided. The approval spans partisan lines, as Democrats are in support, too, by a 47-34 margin. But is there a catch? Of course there is. The AP reports:
However, only one-fourth of those surveyed had read or heard of the new regulations. Pollsters included a lengthy explanation as part of a 91-word question. Among respondents who already knew about the issue, 51 percent supported the change and 41 percent did not.
And yet, 50 percent of those polled said abortion should be legal, versus 41 percent who want it outlawed. Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, put it best: "Opponents apparently have been unable to convince the electorate that this is an unwarranted backdoor way to stop abortions."
Make no mistake; that's exactly what this is. But many Virginians adore McDonnell — his approval rating in the same poll hit a new high of 61 percent — and seem willing to trust him on anything. It's starting to get a little creepy.

Waco police say vandals caused an estimated $100,000 in damage at a cemetery by destroying some monuments, grave markers and statues.
Large crosses were broken off their bases and full-size angel statues were on the ground at Oakwood Cemetery.
Police say the vandalism happened sometime between late Friday and early Saturday.
Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton says some of the destroyed items are believed to be irreplaceable because of their age and historical value.
The large cemetery was established in 1878 and has more than 36,000 graves. It is the final resting place for several notable figures, including some Civil War leaders, former Texas governors and the inventor of Dr. Pepper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does rock'n'roll get any purer than this?
I don't think it's a stretch to say that with better sound we would be talking about one of the great live albums ever, if not the greatest. The Quine Tapes captures an awesome band at their peak (notwithstanding the absence of John Cale) on three discs worth of classic material, recorded by an avid fan (Quine) on a hand-held cassette recorder!!

This review is from: Bootleg Series, Vol. 1: The Quine Tapes [3 Cd Box Set] (Audio CD)
And that reason is that the recording quality usually stinks atrociously-the Quine Tapes of the Velvet Underground concerts just before the release of Loaded are no exception. The technology is out there to clean messes like this up (listen to King Crimson's Epitaph box set and prepare for an epiphany in digital transfer and cleanup), so the real tragedy is the missed opportunity to get the message out that the Velvet Underground was, bar none, the most original American band of their time. Still, for the fan, this 3 disc set will be a sweet deal. Included are not one, not two, but THREE savage versions of Sister Ray-or Sister Rave-up . . . you'll get the drift once you listen. You will also be treated to a pre-Loaded version of Rock and Roll, sans killer guitar solo; the same can be said of What Goes On, longer but inferior to the studio version and the live version on the five disc boxed-set. Other stand-outs, however are Foggy Notion, which just sizzles on disc one, and the one-two attack of Follow the Leader and White Light White Heat on disc two-these two songs together run over 27 minutes, still not as long as the Sister Ray version that closes the disc!

The Quine Tapes captures an awesome band at their peak (notwithstanding the absence of John Cale) on three discs worth of classic material, recorded by an avid fan (Quine) on a hand-held cassette recorder!!
The more you listen, the less the sound seems to matter. Several tunes are given definitive performances here, including a raucous 10-minute "White Light/White Heat", versions of "New Age", and "Ride Into the Sun" that conclude with long, intense solos, and a 38-minute(!) reading of "Sister Ray".
I resent some of the comments I've read here comparing this set to bands like the Dead or the Allmans. THAT is endless, boring noodling. THIS is the purest essence of what rock'n'roll is supposed to be!
If you're new to the band, it's still a good idea to start with the four studio albums. But if you're a fan, this is an absolute must-own. While it would be wonderful to have these recordings with perfect sound, we should consider ourselves fortunate that Robert Quine had the foresight to preserve these tapes, and thankful to him for sharing them with us.

This review is from: Bootleg Series, Vol. 1: The Quine Tapes [3 Cd Box Set] (Audio CD)
If only the sound quality -- and the crowd -- were better, this would be the greatest live rock'n'roll album ever. Yeah, you heard right, it's that good.
Excuse for the poor sound: Robert Quine recorded the damn thing with an off-the-rack tape machine and a hand-held microphone. Fine for recording the minutes of a re-zoning hearing, say, but not the sonic density of the live Velvets. What can I say -- the longer you listen, the less this seems to matter.
Excuse for limp audience: The VU was not exactly burning up the record charts in those days. Quine was probably the only guy in the audience who even knew who the band was. I can just see some poor sap dropping into the Family Dog after work one night to try the new Schlitz on tap and being subjected to a bunch of crazy New Yorkers playing a 38-minute version of "Sister Ray." How was he supposed to realize (in 1969) how lucky he was?
Lou Reed lays down some ferocious rhythm guitar throughout, and his deadpan patter cracks me up (love his introduction to "New Age": "This is a very interesting song"); but in the end, this nifty 3-CD set may be Sterling Morrison's triumph more than anyone else's. This is, at long last, the album where he stretches.

Patrick Sullivan (Canaan, CT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bootleg Series, Vol. 1: The Quine Tapes [3 Cd Box Set] (Audio CD)
Okay, okay. So it sounds like it was recorded with a mono cassette recorder in the bathroom of a nightclub. It's still the Velvets, and it still outdoes the legions of goateed, tattoed, emaciated anti-fops who moan and groan about their MDMA addictions, the feeble-minded brats.
But it also reveals that even the VU was not immune to the same kind of 60s excess that drove hideous mutants like Rick Wakeman to put out four, six, eight record sets of endless noodling. To wit, the three extended versions of Sister Ray.
Sorry -- it's just not that interesting a song. A superior "Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida," maybe, but after you get through the narrative, such as it is, where are you?
Bored, that's where.
In "Uptight," Victor Bockris' Velvets bio, Reed complains that Doug Yule and Steve Selznick butchered "Sweet Jane" and "New Age" (from the "Loaded" LP), but a listen to the restored versions reveals that the edits made the finished songs considerably stronger and more concise. "The Quine Tapes" capture a band desperately in need of the self-consciously arty discipline of the Warhol days and the sinister genius of John Cale.
And it doesn't even have some drunk demanding another Pernod in the background.
4.0 out of 5 stars We're the Velvet Underground. Glad you could all make it.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bootleg Series, Vol. 1: The Quine Tapes [3 Cd Box Set] (Audio CD)
Like Mr. Quine, I am also an obsessive fan of the VU. There is almost nothing recorded by them that I do not love (except stuff from the Doug Yule-lead version of the band that existed following the years after Lou's departure, and the problematic 1993 "reunion" album). Though I have always been enamored with the groundbreaking material from the "Cale Period", I often find myself gravitating towards the later stuff. If I had to choose my "desert island" VU disc, it would definitely be "1969: Live with Lou Reed" (an inappropriate and unfortunate marketing title, just as ridiculous now as it was when it was released in the mid-70s). Quite simply, this captures the band at their improvisational best. For years, I have sought out VU bootlegs. Almost all of them date from this same era (late '69), and almost all of them have wretched sound quality.
The good news is that "The Quine Tapes" sound a little better than these, though sometimes not by much . Most of the tracks were recorded at either the Family Dog or the Matrix in SF. The tracks from the latter seem to fare the best sound-wise, though there are definitely exceptions. A note to those with cheap speakers: turn your bass down before starting Disc 1! There are two songs, "Waiting for the Man" and "Sister Ray" (one of three epic-length versions included) that were recorded in a gymnasium at Washington U., where Quine was enrolled as a student at the time. I'm sad to say that these tracks sound as if they were recorded in, well, a gymnasium. At first it's hard to listen to some of these tracks; you really have to train your ears to listen through all the muck for the subtle nuances of Reed's vocals (if only he still SANG like that!) and telepathic instrumental interplay that made the band so great. But once you do this... oh boy! Fasten your seat belts!
After listening to this set I revisited the "Peel Slowly and See" boxed set, which surprisingly, I hadn't heard in a long time. In glancing through the liner notes I noticed a quip that Sterling Morrison had about the "1969" LP. Though he liked the set, he didn't feel that it captured the pure ferocity and intensity of their live sound. He insisted that the band was at its best and "most insane" in the big rooms, and lamented the fact that there was no documentation to prove this. Well, if only the late, great Mr. Morrison was still around today. If there is an afterlife, wherever ol' Sterl is, he probably has a big smile on his face right about now!
This release would get a five star review be it not for the inconsistent and spotty sound quality. Also, I truly believe, despite Sterling Morrison's statement, that some of the tracks on "1969" are of better overall artistic quality; they seem more focused and compressed than some of the meandering and overlong tracks included here. As far as the packaging goes, I'm divided. On the one hand, it's nice to have packaging that appears to be completely made out of recycled paper. On the other hand, it seems cheaply made, and the little "envelopes" don't hold the CD's well at all. Worst of all, the liner notes are skimpy and reveal very little. But these are minor quibbles in the grand scheme of things.
So, should this be in every VU fan's collection? Absolutely. However, neophytes should proceed with caution. You'd do best to start with any of the original studio albums, and the "1969" (both volumes) live album of which I speak; the latter is still the best legally available document of the live VU. If you're not immediately drawn in to any of these, then this band probably ain't for you.
I agree with some of the other reviewers out there. There's too much stuff from the Reed-Yule period and not enough from the Reed-Cale period. Until more stuff is unearthed, we'll have to be content with this set, "1969", the bonus stuff included on "Peel Slowly...", and the sketchy bootlegs out there. But here's hoping there's more on the way (it IS called "Volume 1", after all) and lets hope it gets released VERY, VERY SOON!
5.0 out of 5 stars Simply amazing!,
D. J Schaaf "schaafie" (new jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bootleg Series, Vol. 1: The Quine Tapes [3 Cd Box Set] (Audio CD)
The real tragedy of this set is the lack of modern recording technology and the sound of only a few hands clapping. But this set, compiled by VU junkie Robert Quine, who later helped Lou Reed re-coupe some much needed passion in the early 80's (check out his and Reed's guitar playing on The Blue Mask), is a remarkable testament to the power of the Velvet Underground. Aside from the bootleg quality of the sound at times, my only complaint is the lack of John Cale - these recordings are from '69, after his departure - but this set should be mandatory listening for anyone doubting the influence of the VU on subsequent "alt" artists from the 70's, 80's and 90's. No less than 3 versions of "Sister Ray" are presented here, each unique enough to warrant release. Quiet renditions of "Waiting for the Man" somehow seem more haunting than the more revved up versions we're all used to. Gems like "What Goes On", "Rock and Roll" and "Foggy Notion" are all the more astounding when one realizes that this grossly underrated band in their time is playing their hearts out for a handful of people. Truly, the VU must have realized their own power, and must have simply loved to play, to muster the passion to play to such indifferent crowds. A wonderful historical document and fine tribute to (my own opinion) the greatest rock band ever.
5.0 out of 5 stars Look beyond the lo-fi sound, it's HISTORICAL,
TheBandit (SEA-TAC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bootleg Series, Vol. 1: The Quine Tapes [3 Cd Box Set] (Audio CD)
Velvet Underground fans will be in hog heaven with this 3 disc set. Each disc is over 70 minutes long, each concludes with a marathon version of "Sister Ray."
If you've heard the long available "Live 1969" Vols 1 and 2, you have an idea what kind of audio quality to expect. These are not soundboard recordings. The Velvets were an obscure band and we're lucky there were fans like Robert Quine with the presence of mind to record them at clubs.
This is certainly NOT the way to become acquainted with the band if you are new to them. Get all their studio albums (they only released four) first. But if you're already a fan and are contemplating whether to spring for this set, fear not.
Highlights for me: Maureen doing back-to-back renditions of her showcase songs, "Afterhours" and "I'm sticking with You"... A previously unheard song, "Follow the Leader"... A terrific 11 minute rendition of "Ride into the Sun" that may be the definitive version... A smoking take on "White Light"... Of course, the aforementioned marathon takes of "Sister Ray" (one lasts 38 minutes!)...
But I'll stop rambling... Suffice it to say, this is great music from a band that sounded like no other. This is the first in a proposed 3 volume set, so BUY IT-- I would hate to see the rest of the series cancelled due to poor sales!

This review is from: Bootleg Series, Vol. 1: The Quine Tapes [3 Cd Box Set] (Audio CD)
These newly released recordings -- made in 1969 by fan and future guitar virtuoso Robert Quine -- expand on the terrain mapped out on the awesome 1974 release "1969 Live." The sound quality on these recordings are not as good, but, as with "1969 Live," "The Bootleg Series Vol. 1" shows some interesting rearrangements of songs that were originally recorded featuring either Nico on vocals ("Femme Fatale") or John Cale on viola ("Venus in Furs," "Heroin" and "Black Angel's Death Song"). The obvious highlights are the three extended (if a 17 minute song can be extended!) versions of "Sister Ray." My favorite is the version on disc one, while the medley of "Sister Ray" with "Foggy Notion" on the third disc somehow seems very faithful to the studio version on "White Light/White Heat." The versions on disc one and two sound like two completely different songs. The previously unreleased cut "Follow the Leader" is also a very good addition to the officially released VU song catalog. Also, some of the performances sound very similar in arrangement to those on "1969 Live," so fans of that record might find some of these cuts redundant (particularly "I Can't Stand It," -- from the CD version of "1969 Live"-- "Rock and Roll," -- which is recorded from the same performance as the one on "1969 Live" -- "White Light/White Heat," "Heroin," "New Age" and "Over You"). But overall, I think these discs are great for all VU fans, but might not be as compelling as an introduction to first-time listeners of the Velvet Underground. For an adequate introduction, try any of their four official studio albums, and work your way from there.
4.0 out of 5 stars Who knew the Velvets could jam?,
This review is from: Bootleg Series, Vol. 1: The Quine Tapes [3 Cd Box Set] (Audio CD)
Interesting. The Velvet Underground helped inspire all the great punk bands who wanted to get back to basics and eschew solos. Except, as evidenced on this great new live set, the Velvets were a live act akin to the Dead and Jefferson Airplane. Which is a good thing. Creepy songs are even more sinister with the intense guitar interplay between Lou Reed and the late, underrated Sterling Morrison. Reed plays in the vein of Neil Young, just this screaming attack of cacaphony, whereas Morrison is from the Steve Cropper school of soulful fingerpicking. There's 3 versions of "Sister Ray", the longest stretching to 40 minutes. Don't worry, it's not pointless noodling. In fact, for a band that focused more on lyrics and ambience, most of these songs really rock. The only flaw is that since this is a bootleg, the quality isn't so great. However, the flawed sound only adds to that unique Velvet atmosphere. In particular, "Venus In Furs." So if you enjoy rocking out, good poetry, and phantasmagoric songs that can border on beautiful, pick this up. It's the perfect recording for this time of year. Although from the sound and look of them, every day was Halloween. And thanks to Robert Quine for sharing this with everyone. Can't wait for the other voulmes.
5.0 out of 5 stars The wait is over.,

This review is from: Bootleg Series, Vol. 1: The Quine Tapes [3 Cd Box Set] (Audio CD)
The Quine Tapes showcases the Velvet Underground's beautiful noise and improvisatory music in a way that that the previous best official live record, "1969 Live," only hints at.
Here we have three versions of Sister Ray of varying lengths and styles, as the VU improvises upon the central riff of the "White Light/White Heat" recording. Only one version, recorded in early 1969 in St. Louis, resembles the studio version in a significant way.
Here we have a wicked version of "White Light/White Heat" with guitar work by Reed to rival the explosive chaos of "I Heard Her Call My Name." This version is infinitely better than the recording on "1969 Live." Here we have oustanding versions of songs from "The Velvet Underground & Nico," including "Black Angel's Death Song," "Heroin," and "Venus in Furs."
Having said all of this, the recordings made at The Matrix (CDs 2 and 3) are better than those made at The Family Dog (CD 1). The latter suffer from too much bass and from tepid songs sung by Mo Tucker. The magesterial 1969 Live version of "What Goes On" is superior to the Family Dog version as well.
Finally, there are many quotidian moments that bring pleasure. Lou and Sterling discussing who should play solo on "White Light/White Heat." Lou reciting the opening lyrics for "Black Angel's Death Song." A female voice asking "What time is it?" during the opening bars of one of the best, if not the best, live version of Heroin ever recorded.
Play CDs 2 and 3 LOUD. You will experience the same blissful combination of joy, headache, and stupor that results from listening to "I Heard Her Call My Name." The unbelievable guitar work by Lou and Sterling will make you forget that Cale's Viola parts are absent, substituted by Yule's hammond organ.
This is a must own.

Children's Coverage: What Matters Most to Parents Results from Focus Groups in 6 Cities
This report is based on based on focus group discussions with parents with moderate incomes enrolled in private coverage (employer sponsored or Marketplace) who had children in public coverage (primarily CHIP) or children with private coverage. This report is based on 14 focus group discussions conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation and John Snow, Inc. in six cities during February and March 2015. Sites included Birmingham, AL, Chicago, IL, Denver, CO, Philadelphia, PA, and Tampa, FL. Each of these states operate separate CHIP programs. An additional 4 focus groups were conducted in Los Angeles, CA (two in English and two in Spanish). The purpose of the groups was to gain insight into what low and middle-income families value in their children's coverage, their experiences with CHIP and private insurance, and on parents' perspectives on the future of CHIP. The information gathered can help inform policy questions such as would private coverage (either employer sponsored coverage or Marketplace) or Medicaid work for children who currently are enrolled in CHIP?Issue Brief Read More
Medicaid at 50: A Look Back – And Ahead
Medicaid, the main health insurance program for low-income people and the single largest source of public coverage in the U.S., turns 50 this year.

The Medicaid program, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on July 30, 1965, will reach its 50th anniversary this year, a historic milestone.

Medicaid Moving Forward
Medicaid is the nation's main public health insurance program for people with low incomes, and it is the single largest source of health coverage in the U.S., covering nearly 70 million Americans. Medicaid also finances 16% of total personal health spending in the nation. States design and administer their own Medicaid programs within federal requirements, and states and the federal government finance the program jointly. As a major payer, Medicaid is a core source of financing for safety-net hospitals and health centers that serve low-income communities, including many of the uninsured. It is also the main source of coverage and financing for both nursing home and community-based long-term care.Issue Brief Read More
The Impact of the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP): What Does the Research Tell Us?
The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) was established in 1997 to provide coverage for uninsured children who are low-income but above the threshold for Medicaid eligibility. In 2009, and again in the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Congress extended federal funding for CHIP, but funding will expire a little over a year from now. Decisions about CHIP's future funding will be consequential as more than 8 million low-income children were covered by CHIP at some point during 2012. To help inform the policy debate about CHIP, this brief reviews key data and evidence from the large body of research on the impact of children's coverage.Issue Brief Read More

CHIP Enrollment: June 2013 Data Snapshot
This issue brief provides state level CHIP enrollment data, adding the June 2013 period. In June 2013, over 5.7 million children were enrolled in the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP.) Enrollment in June 2013 increased by 190,453 or by 3.4 percent, compared to one year earlier. Since 2009, annual rates of growth have remained fairly steady, ranging between 3.2 percent and 3.8 percent. In contrast, during the height of the Great Recession, enrollment increased annually by 7.8 to 10 percent. Overall, CHIP enrollment continued to increase, but growth slow to the lowest rates since the start of the Recession as the economic conditions continued to improve. CHIP programs, along with state Medicaid programs continue to play a critical role in assuring health coverage for uninsured children.Issue Brief Read More

North Carolina, which averaged more than 10 points a quarter last season in its first year under coach Larry Fedora, was held to 10 points total in Thursday's 17-point loss to No. 6 South Carolina.
But in their first comments since that season-opening game, Fedora and quarterback Bryn Renner said they weren't discouraged by the lack of production.
"There's not any panic within the offense or the offensive staff or the players or anything like that," Fedora said Monday. "The offense has proven that if you just play within the system and you don't shoot yourself in the foot you're going to make plays and you're going to make explosive plays. It's built that way. So there's no panic. Go back to work and let's execute better than we did this past week."
The Tar Heels put together drives of 17, 16 and 13 plays against the Gamecocks, but scored only 10 points in their three trips inside the 2-yard line.
"We're never going to lose our confidence," Renner said. "We know we can score very quickly."
Despite the defeat, Fedora said there were plenty of bright spots heading into Saturday's home opener against Middle Tennessee State (12:30 p.m., WRAL).
He mentioned the tough running of Romar Morris, who averaged 4.6 yards on his 15 carries, and an offensive line that started two redshirt freshmen but kept South Carolina star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney from touching Renner.
The offense also didn't commit a turnover, which Fedora thought was partly a sign of maturity for his third-year starting quarterback.
"He took care of the football and that was under a lot of pressure in several situations," Fedora said. "So just that alone, even though you're wanting to make a play in the worst way that you don't throw a ball into coverage when you know you shouldn't, that's a tough thing."
But UNC's defense didn't force a turnover, either. Combined with an offense that couldn't produce big plays — its biggest gain was a 24-yard catch by Quinshad Davis — or capitalize on its red-zone opportunities, it all added up to a nationally televised defeat.
Even though the game was a chance for the Tar Heels to enter the national conversation, Fedora said it wouldn't affect the team going forward.
"This game doesn't make or break our season," Fedora said. "It was the first game."
Middle Tennessee , which won its opener 45-24 over Western Carolina, showed it was capable of beating ACC competition with a 21-point win over Georgia Tech last season.
But the Blue Raiders are unranked — like every team left on UNC's schedule.
"Every team we play is going to be tough," Renner said. "But I don't think anybody is going to be as tough as the opponent that we just played."
Late in the fourth quarter against South Carolina, freshman right tackle Kiaro Holts dove at Clowney's legs after Renner had released the ball. While Clowney limped back to the sidelines (he soon returned to the game), Holts was called for a personal foul.
Many considered it to be a dirty play — including the ESPN broadcasters — but Fedora said Holts had "no malicious intent."
"We disciplined him just like we do all our players who get a personal foul that hurts the football team," Fedora said. "But if you really look at it, Kiaro got beat and he got beat bad. He's trying to recover and trying to cut the play. I don't think he cared who it was but he was trying to keep that guy away from Bryn.
"He doesn't know that the ball is already thrown. He doesn't know that the guy is already turning to look down the field. He's just trying to recover."
There were no significant changes to the depth chart after Week 1 except at long snapper, where sophomore Conor Fry will take over for senior Mack Lloyd.
Lloyd, who tore his ACL last year, suffered what appeared to be a serious knee injury while covering a punt in the second quarter against the Gameocks. Fry was perfect on deep snaps last season, when he handled extra points and field goals.

If you are looking for a charming Bed and Breakfast in the heart of the Wine Country this is the place to go. It gives you a feeling of being right at home. We spent three nights at Napa Farmhouse Inn and were treated with care, kindness and love. Mimi, the co-owner, never missed an moment to tend to our needs. She is also quite a "worker bee", spending much of the day tending her organic fruit, vegetable and flower gardens. The breakfast she prepared for us each morning was delicious and all the fresh produce she served was right from the garden. She is quite knowledgeable about the surrounding area. We took her recommendations and were never disappointed. It was a pleasure staying at the Napa Farmhouse Inn, enjoying all the amenities we received from Mimi with her gracious style. She made us feel like close friends. We certainly will return. Gus and Teri B.

Mimi and Ed are wonderful Innkeepers. Mimi greeted us with a glass of wine, provided a quick tour of the house, grounds, and garden, and showed us to the very comfortable french-country inspired room. The rooms(s) were furnished with Restoration Hardware beds, and comfortable linens, and were spotless. Mimi prepared a fantastic (over the top) breakfast. Mimi divides her time between her bakery in San Jose, and the Farmhouse, and tends to the extensive gardens herself. Her baking skills and use of fresh, organic vegetables and fruits in the breakfast were fantastic. The fresh fruit, scones, and vegetable scramble were over the top, and exceeded our expectations. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Brad and Amy - San Mateo
