Arkaeon wrote:The crock will tend to give you a mushy texture with ubiquitously indistinct flavor, and may come off with a generally "canned food" outcome.
Arkaeon wrote:The best chilis I've had involved starting by braising the meat (cubed!) with about 1/2 of the spices and the oil on high heat. This drives extra spice into the meat and tenderizes it, making for extra-zingy meat chunks. By searing the outside of the meat chunks on high heat, you help keep them from dissolving during the simmer stage at the end.
Arkaeon wrote:...then adding skillet-toasted cornmeal for thickener and adding/braising the vegetables that are intended to dissolve mostly into the stock, including most of the hotter fresh raw chili peppers (most or all of the onion, garlic, and chili peppers like pasilla, anaheim, jalepeno, bird, serrano, cayenne). You can add some worcestershire sauce or reduced red wine/juice at this point if you want some dark-roasty or fruity undertones. You have to stir/scrape vigorously at high heat to get this stage to work right without burning, until the vegetable juices stabilize the cornmeal. There will be a lot of spicy steam.
...if you are using dried/crumbled chilis or basil, they can go in now to soften a bit in the high heat. You can also add some beef stock base if you want to pump up the meat flavor.
...then adding whatever other raw vegetables (including perhaps some strip-cut onion) and the rest of the spices that are intended to remain as chunks and top-flavor in the final bowl, including the milder bell-, california-, and poblano-type peppers that should make up a large portion of the bulk, and adding some liquid beef stock (or water) for the chili's stock-making.
...then add softened beans and/or diced tomato if you are using them.
...then allowing the whole thing to simmer as low as possible, stirring occasionally, until tender with thick stock, but not mushy. Total cooking time with this method is probably around 2 hours if you're organized about it.
Arkaeon wrote:NOTES:
-Toasted cornmeal is an effective thickener when it has time to work, and darker toasting will give a richer coffee-like affect with a slight bitter that sets off the spicy, sweet whole. (You can even throw in a little instant coffee to get some mysterious dark flavor undertones, or brew some coffee grounds in a saucepan with your water/stock and strain it off before adding the stock to the chili.)
Arkaeon wrote:-Dry beans that are softened at home will give better texture than canned beans, if you choose to use them at all, but it isn't such a big deal that it's always worth the extra time.
Arkaeon wrote:-Whether or not to use tomato is one of those arguments that chili fanatics will never agree upon, so pick your own ground on that one. I am against using much tomato, personally, but that's just my taste. Fresh, thick-diced tomato without seeds is infinitely favorable to canned in any case. Canned tomato is abomination.
Arkaeon wrote:-For dried/ground spices, I like stuff like chipotle and ancho powders, paprika for richness, granulated garlic and onion as boosters, basil, coriander, some black pepper -- even a little touch of cinnamon and/or turmeric if I want to get exotic. I add a little sugar and/or honey to most stews like this to bring out the flavors and smooth the texture.
Arkaeon wrote:-A variety of bell pepper colors add to both the appearance and flavor of your chili. If you go cheap and just use green bell peppers, you can get a sour overtone. Adding a mix of red, yellow, and orange bells really help.
Arkaeon wrote:-Shredded cheese and sour cream at the table can add tasty richness and help cut some of the burn of a really spicy chili.
Arkaeon wrote:I know this isn't an exact recipe (I pretty much cook by "throw" at this point), but I hope that helps you in some way :)
PKMKII wrote:Okay, this is true if you're getting local, farm fresh tomatoes when they're in season. However, most tomatoes in the grocery store (ESPECIALLY this time of year) are hothouse monstrosities that are picked when they're unripe and then artificially ripened with ethylene, have horribly thick skin, and tasteless, pale flesh. They're bred for transit and shelf life, not flavor. Whereas the canned tomatoes, because they're not getting shipped, can be made with better tomatoes.

Illinois Learning Standards
Performance Descriptors and Classroom Assessments Chart
The performance descriptors are a supplement - not a replacement - for the Illinois Learning Standards. They are intended to help teachers align their curricula to the standards and to help students meet performance expectations at ten stages of educational development.
During the 2000-01 and 2001-02 school years, a representative sample of Illinois teachers field tested classroom assessments and collected student work samples for all the descriptors. Links to these assessments are found below, and many have "meets" and "exceeds" work samples at the end of the documents.

This is the Orioles' 40 Man Roster as of November 3rd. The players that had been on the 60 Day Disabled List have been reinstated, but the team has not yet selected (promoted) the contracts of prospects that would be available* to other teams in the Rule 5 Draft if the Orioles don't add them to their Man Roster by November 20th. Don posted a list** of the players he thought the Orioles should consider adding this winter or risk losing them. It's posted below.
The roster currently stands at 38. The question becomes: how many players on the current list should be removed to allow spots for prospects that need yo be protected from the Rule 5 Draft or allow the Orioles to acquire other talent. In some cases players that are removed can be out righted to the minors and will stay in the system. Other players have earned the right to declare themselves free agents and explore other opportunities.
Which players from this list would you be willing to remove EVEN IF it means losing them, and WHY?

Which prospects from the list, below, would you place on the 40 Man Roster to protect? Which prospects would you leave off, and WHY? Remember, you can ONLY have 40 players on the roster.
L.J. Hoes
Hoes was always a tool driven prospect that could hit, good glove, good enough not to be a clogger on the base paths. He could not find a home on the field and the defensive focus was holding back any growth with the bat. He spent his first three season up and down, hot and cold. It was not until working with Denny Hocking that I started to see the hip/torso separation in his game and the bat trending North. He is an above average contact hitter that may find a power stroke later in his development. I see the path and extension that could get it to slightly below average, who knows if he ends up 10 pounds heavier 27-30 years old. He is isolated to the outfield, really not enough arm to play in RF. His range and glove hold their own in left and there is a chance for high contact rate with the bat. If the contact stays high and he plays sound defense, he could be an tick above replacement level. He could be an everyday, really solid 4th outfielder who could hit off the bench.
Seeing the improvements this season, almost plus contact rate, and bat speed that has ability, I think the Orioles end up protecting him. It could be between him and Avery, with Avery providing speed that is always useful on the bench. If exposed, he is that player teams take a flier on with one tool and versatility in the field. While not a regular, he could play 3B, RF, CF in a pinch. He will Surely be on the AAA list, so strictly subjected to MLB phase.
Bobby Bundy
Bobby always impressed me with his mentality on the hill. He has a good no quit type of game in him. He should be a heavy innings-eater pitcher that could live off his FB, CH, CB. He had a minor bone spur injury this summer. After surgery to shave down the bone growth irritation, Bobby is currently rehabbing the injury in Sarasota. The issue could have been a major factor in his command of the fastball and curve, which has seemed to be his kicker the last two seasons. When Bobby Bundy Scouting Reporton his game, the curve is a knockout pitch, and there is very deceptive action between the fastball and change up. The action on the change up is good enough now that it is an effective offering at the major league level. At his best, he can ride it low and often. The hope is the bone spur was the main issue why his pitches rode high often. I see a pitcher that could sit 3-4 in the rotation and get ground balls in bunches. He will be worth monitoring because if his command comes back in the spring, he could be a factor in the rotation or bullpen with the Orioles.
Teams may be slightly scared to take an arm that is coming off surgery, but most know bone spurs are not something that throws up red flags, more open ended questions. He is that player who could flourish in a bullpen and teams could use an arm that may read 94-95 mph in one inning stints with a knockout curve. Teams may be tempted if they know Bobby is completely healthy, and he could be the type teams are willing to take a risk on if left unprotected. He will surely be on AAA list, so strictly subjected to MLB phase.
Ashur Tolliver
Power left handed pitcher, check. Ability to get out left handed batters, check. If not for a UCL injury that required Tommy John Surgery, he would easily have been a candidate as a left handed pitcher in the Orioles bullpen this season. Tolliver has an impressive arm for his size and is very strong. However, the delivery placed a good deal of torque on his arm. He is currently in Sarasota rehabbing his elbow and all signs is that he should be an arm to watch out. His speed and ability to keep it low inducing high ground balls will always be in high demand.
I would be shocked if he were left unprotected in the AAA or AA phase, as left handed pitchers that can touch 96 mph do not know on trees. He is also the type of player that a team in need of a LOOGY could take a shot in the dark at. He needs to be brought back slowly in 2013, so I do not think he gets selected and could be a factor in the Orioles at some stage later next season. I think he will be reserved on one of the minor league lists, but he would surely be selected if not protected.
Ryan Berry
Another player who had trouble staying healthy. He has faced multiple arm issues since his days with the Rice Owls. He has seen cysts, tendinitis, and a number of minor hiccups with the shoulder as a professional. Berry is mainly a two pitch guy with a low 90s fastball and solid 11/7 curve, and he is showcasing mainly as a back of the bullpen arm. He has decent deception, shows an arsenal that gets out both sides effectively, and can command the ball well enough to be an effective 6th-7th inning reliever.
I do not think the Orioles will protected him on the 40, but likely place him on the 38 man AAA roster. He is another type that could be selected in Rule 5. He has shown that he can reach back for 92 mph and locate it well in the zone. He can keep it on the ground and miss bats, which comes in high demand for teams taking a flyer on 7th man in the bullpen. I think he will be reserved on one of the minor league lists, but he would surely be selected if not protected on the AAA or AA rosters.
Tyler Townsend
Talk about a lot of promise that has been derailed time after time with injuries. At one point, I thought he was a slight steal of a player that could produce enough offense to stay at 1B in a first division program. He has the size and power. Adding the loft in the swing power will always be a factor that he would bring to the table. His power was not reaching plus-plus, but would be considered above average at this time. He has missed a great deal of at bats, which will hurt an already growing concern with contact. His swing can get long at times and there may be a concern that contact could be maintained high enough for the power to factor, limited exposure has not allowed him the chance to refine and grow his approach.
Power is always a need for teams. They want to look at guys that can fill a role, mostly bullpen, but power bat off the bench rates up. The Orioles are likely going to leave him unprotected on the 40 man roster, but protect him on the minor league list. I do not see a team taking the chance on the major league phase because he needs more time developing. He will be reserved on one of the minor league lists, so strictly subjected to MLB phase.
Aaron Baker
Big powerful thunder stick, arguably the best power bat in the Orioles system. He is simply a masher, and if he gets a hold of the offering it is surely out of any ball park. His contact and approach has some stuff left to improve upon, in order to let that power flourish. He has compacted and shortened the stroke, showing better two strike disciplined approach, but both have a long way to go reaching enough contact to showcase the power in his game as he moves closer to the parent club. He hit the injury bug over a month ago with a strained oblique. Surgery looks to be avoided, but this will be worth monitoring into next season.
You cannot teach power or speed. They resimply something you are born with and why teams try to find both while uncovering every rock known to man. I would never rule out a team taking a chance with the huge power ceiling he possesses. It is one of the risks teams prefer taking in the Rule 5. I think he will be placed on the reserve lists and teams will not have a chance to add his power to the depths of their minor league development.
Jesse Beal
Any time a pitcher can come back and return to form from shoulder labrum surgery, it is considered a success. He was a pitcher that always lived with good command and control of the fastball. He has seen a touch of improved velocity and was able to sustain the velocity in his 2-3 inning outings. The curve has maintained good depth to be an effective offering, but mainly he was mostly showing the fastball in relief. Even in limited exposure and working basically off one pitch sometimes, he showed some quality efforts. I caught him in the middle of the season, he was simply a ground ball machine.
His role may be better suited as a middle reliever type. He could vastly improve his size with his frame, and all would really help push him up the ladder. He has not been truly tested above low A, and is the type of pitcher that could be selected in the latter phases of the draft to fit into another system. Each team has a protected list and he has too much talent to be exposed. There is a very slim chance that he is left up protected on both the AAA and AA lists. If he does not get placed on either MiLB reserve list, he will almost surely get selected in the minor league phase.
Brenden Webb
Webb's Major strength to his game has always been his arm. It has solid carry and is one of the best in the system. He has solid speed that shows him as a versatile defender. The patience at the plate has greatly improved, but it requires additional work as he is moving to a higher class of pitching with better quality of the breaking ball. Webb's deception on the change up is improving. He tends to get a bit long and his drifting hand load could pose difficulties as he progresses. His overall approach has improved and he has the bat speed where more compaction could drastically help his offensive game; rounding him out to a higher prospect. He shows pop when he gets a hold of it and the ball sounds great in BP. There has been progress this season and he has the hands, and natural athletic ability to mark him as a solid track & follow prospect. With his skill set and the tools he brings to the table, he is one of the top 50 prospects in the Orioles system and should be protected either with the AAA or AA roster.
This is simply me talking. I would have to guess that he has low 90′s mph carry in the outfield and with instruction he could be a 93-94 mph pitcher with the fastball, maybe more. He has a ton of arm strength and if the position player path starts to fade, he could give pitching a try.
Tyler Kelly
He is proof that hard work and determination can at least get you on the radar and into the big picture. Not everyone works on the same timetable and others blossom later in their careers. I am not seeing much difference in his stroke, but boy it is night and day on his plate awareness and patience. The game has slowed down, and he has a solid compact approach with adequate bat speed. His path is more contact driven. He has always been a sound, bring your lunch pale to work type of defender. He will not wow you, but he has some surprising agility and overall athletic ability. He has more than enough in the tank to stick at 2B, and could be a very useful utility player who I could see at 3B, and even SS in a pinch (if needed). I cannot see a way the Orioles do not protect him, even if there are others that provide more "upside". Kelly has done nothing but produce. These are the types that may get over matched on the parent club, but I have seen worse off at least provide a cup of coffee level production to a parent club.

*Rule V Draft Rules
The Rule V Draft is held annually during baseball's Winter Meetings. Teams must file a 40-man roster with the league office by November 20. Any player who fits all of the criteria below is eligible for the Rule V Draft:
Player is not on the 40 man roster
Player has been in the minor leagues for at least 4 years if he was signed after age 19 (was 3 years before the 2006 CBA).
Player has been in the minor leagues for at least 5 years if he was signed before age 19 (was 4 years before the 2006 CBA).
The cost of drafting a player is $50,000 (this amount has stayed the same since the 1985 Rule V Draft. It was $25,000 from 1958 to 1984). Any player drafted must remain on the drafting team's 25-man roster the entire first season he is with the drafting club (This rule also changed some time in the early 1980's. Previously the drafted player had to remain on the drafting team's roster for the first 90 days of the saeson).
At least 90 days of that first season must be maintained at "active status" (not on any disabled list). If a player cannot be active for 90 days in that first year due to a legitimate extended injury, whatever remains of the 90 day obligation MUST be met from the beginning of the following year, his 2nd season with the drafting club.
In order to be sent to the minors in that first year (or a 2nd season extension, due to a legitimate extended injury in the first year), the player drafted under Rule 5 must be offered back to the club from which he had been drafted for a $25,000 waiver fee. Should the team from which the draftee was taken via Rule 5 not accept him back, it is the same as releasing the drafted player from that team's interest, and the Rule 5 obligations of the drafting team cease upon that release.
Occasionally drafting teams will return another player in lieu of the waiver fee if they wish to keep the drafted player in their organization, but send him to the minor leagues during that first year's obligation. This effectively negates the Rule 5 draft by converting the acquisition of the Rule 5 eligible player into a trade, rather than continuing with the Rule 5 obligations of the drafting team.
Minor league teams can also participate in the draft. AAA teams can draft any player eligible from AA for $12,000, and AA teams can draft any players that are eligible from Class A for $4,000. Players chosen in the minor league part of the draft do not need to return to the original teams for any reason.
It is rare that a Rule V draftee turns into a major league All-Star. The best known Rule V player is Roberto Clemente, who was drafted from the Brooklyn Dodgers by the Pittsburgh Pirates, after the 1954 season. Also, 2004 American League Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana (1999) and 2008 All-Star Dan Uggla (2004), 2010 American League MVP Josh Hamilton (2006) and 2010-2011 AL home run king Jose Bautista (2003) were Rule V draftees.
Over the years, the Toronto Blue Jays have been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the draft, selecting club fixtures Willie Upshaw, George Bell, Jim Acker, and Kelly Gruber.

These chocolate muffins are not too rich so they are perfect after any meal or as a snack. Because chocolate is the star in this recipe, make sure you spring for the good stuff.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line two, 12 standard muffin cups (2.5 inches top diameter and 1.25 inches deep) with paper liners. Set aside.
Put 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate and butter in a stainless bowl over simmering water to melt. Set aside.
Put the egg yolks in the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk in .5 cup of sugar. Place bowl over simmering water, and whisk until yolks reach about 120 degrees F.
Mount yolks on stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Whip at high speed until yolks triple in volume.
Transfer yolks into a 3 quart stainless bowl. Set aside.
Place whites in a clean bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Whip on medium speed until whites become frothy. Add cream of tartar and increase mixer speed to high. When whites begin to form soft peaks, add 1 cup of sugar and continue to whip to a shinny firm peak.
Using a spatula, fold the melted chocolate into the yolk mixture. Carefully fold in whites and flour in 3 additions.
Fold in Dark Milk and remaining bittersweet chocolate pieces, just until incorporated. Do not over mix.
Using a tablespoon, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
Bake on the middle shelf of the oven until the top of the muffins form a crust, 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow cooling for 30 minutes.

DENVER (MarketWatch) — As CEOs go, John Mackey at Whole Foods Market Inc. is a pretty good guy.
He works for $1 a year. He doesn't loot his company with excessive perks and bonuses. His flies Southwest Airlines. He wears Patagonia. Forbes has ranked his company on its "Best Places To Work" list for 15 years. His stock WFM, +0.26% has skyrocketed back from the last recession, from about $8 to about $96 a share, proving his critics wrong. And along the way, he's made lasting changes to the way Americans think about food.
So why does he get such a hard time?
"Occasionally somebody asks me a question, and before I can think about it, I just blurt out the truth from my perspective," he told me.
He's apologized several times for calling Obamacare "fascism" in a recent interview with National Public Radio. He conceded he wasn't sensitive to all the connotations of the term. But he's still got some customers calling for boycotts. Some customers are also upset about another remark Mackey made that global warming "isn't necessarily bad."
I don't agree with either of these positions, but let's face it, any government program that forces its citizens to buy something can rhetorically be called fascism. And as for global warming not being so bad, well, at least we won't have to shovel our driveways.
"I'm not trying to upset people," Mackey said. "If people ask me a question, I try to give an honest answer. One reason people don't trust business people is because they don't think they tell the truth. It's the same reason they don't trust politicians. They are always being spun. Nobody likes to be spun."
Mackey offered me plenty of honest answers before taking the stage at the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business earlier this week. He's out discussing his book: "Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business." One of the first steps, he said, is to quit bashing business leaders and capitalism.
"People think corporations are sociopaths, running around, only caring about money," he said. "Business people are routinely portrayed in the mass media as selfish, greedy and exploitative. They dump their toxic chemicals in the rivers. They bully people. That's how Hollywood sees them."
J.W. Marriott to Obama: lower the tax rate
In this except from The Big Interview, Marriott Chair J.W. Marriott explains why the federal government needs to solve its spending problems, how much corporate taxes should be cut and why the U.S. is still a great place for business. Photo: AP
Business people now commit most of the murders portrayed in the movies and on TV shows, he argued. "If murder occurs — business is going to be behind it. The caricature is some greedy, ruthless businessman."
I reminded Mackey that while he has built an admirable business, the rest of us live in a world where many of our largest companies and financial institutions routinely settle shocking fraud allegations without admitting nor denying guilt. It's a society here high-rollers get profits, and taxpayers and shareholders absorb losses. So isn't such animosity predicable?
"We judge business by its worst actors," Mackey said. "Most business is based on voluntary exchange for mutual benefit. And most business people are honest."
Capitalism is not the problem. It's crony capitalism.
"The system is corrupt," Mackey said. "While President Obama is out demagoguing business, he's taking major contributions from Goldman Sachs, and from Google, and from all these guys." Mackey said.
"Obama does not believe in free-enterprise capitalism. He believes in crony capitalism. He's happy to do special favors. Look at the fiscal cliff bill that just passed. That was so full of pork. Hollywood got paid off. Alternative energy got paid off.

The SRA is the big brother of the Ibanez SR series – classic SR design but with a few extra pounds of muscle.

The SRA550 features a Mahogany body with gorgeous Quilted Maple top, 5pc Maple/Rosewood neck, and Accu-cast B300 bridge ,which gives you easier string installation and height adjustment than any traditionally designed bridge.

Ibanez combines an active preamp with the EMG 35Hz pickups. The build quality, set up, intonation and action were spot on out of the box. This model combines a maple top with a mahogany body. There bass has a broad tone range that will accommodate most styles. This is an excellent bass for those seeking a modern vs. retro instrument. Highly recommended.

Comments about Ibanez SRA550 Electric Bass:
This bass combines EMG 35Hz pickups with Ibanez's active preamp with 3 way eq. The guitars intonation and action arrived spot on. The guitar has a wide tone range and excellent dynamics. It would be hard to imagine a better build quality or finish at this price point. The top is flamed maple and the body is mahagony. Highly recommended.
Best Uses
Comments about Ibanez SRA550 Electric Bass:
This instrument was designed by Ibanez with one goal in mind: to be the ultimate workhorse for modern touring and recording bassists.
I purchased the SRA500 roughly a year ago. This bass simply has had an aesthetic overhaul from the previous version. It now includes oval shaped abalone inlays, natural binding on the body, and a redesigned bridge which actually has less mass than the previous.
The body is very solidly made without a single flaw anywhere. The finish on the body is not only gorgeous, but it doesnt stick to your arm or cause friction of any sort during your playing which is massively beneficial to smooth playing.
The finish on the neck is the most comfortable satin-finished style that I have ever played. Its not so grainy that it becomes difficult to slide and navigate your hands but its not glossy in the slightest either so youre not playing something that feels like trying to slide your hand across a heavily finished table. Also remember, this is Ibanez, they pride themselves on slim playable necks.
The EMGHZ pickups are the perfect component to any instrument with the design aspect being modern playability and performance. Clear, powerful, and fully able to provide any sound you require of them. I will mention however that these pickups arent for the weak, clean tones still cut like a knife so dont expect to buy this bass and be able to accompany a guitarist with no balls, unless you intend to trample him with your size 666 war boots.
If you play punk, hard rock, or metal and want your every note to be a thundering statement of your dominance onstage and in the studio, buy this bass. Trust me, I have two.

Well done.....Enjoyed listening to you, and the "quirks" that you pointed out. And, I even learned a couple of things, or, maybe I knew them, and have just forgotten those particular "quirks'. Sure brought back some memories of when I flew the MD-80 at PSA (Pacific Southwest)......Thanks for the well spoken "memory" tour. Best to you in your continued career.
Very nice video, but from a Mechanics view point, I do not really like working on it. All those cables that he talked about have to be perfectly rigged and there are a ton of them on this a/c and they are heavy. 41 dimmers in the plane... That is a lot of Rheostats to maintain. Overall I like the MD80's, but not my first choice to work on. This is more of a Pilots plane than a Mechanics Plane.
Great video, really enjoyed it!

Successfully combining cellular therapy and gene therapy in a mouse model system, researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center (JCCC) have developed a viable treatment strategy for breast cancer that has metastasized, or spread, to the patient's brain. The laboratory study was led by Carol Kruse, professor of neurosurgery, Cancer Center member and member of the UCLA Brain Research Institute. The study was published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research on August 1, 2013.
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women, and metastasis is a major cause of health deterioration and death from the disease. Management of metastasis is difficult for several reasons. The circulatory network of the brain, known as the "blood-brain barrier," prevents many anti-cancer drugs from reaching areas to which a cancer has spread. Also, the tendency of metastasis to spring up in multiple places in the brain simultaneously makes current treatments, such as radiation, challenging.
Cellular therapy is a type of immunotherapy, or treatment that involves the immune system, that uses T cells. These "foot soldiers of the immune system" are sensitized in the laboratory to kill breast cancer cells, and then the T cells are injected into the part of the brain to which the cancer has spread. The research shows the T cells move through tissue and can then recognize and directly kill the tumor cells.
With gene therapy, cancer cells are killed by a drug called 5-flurocytosine (5-FC). To get the gene into the cancer cells, the researchers first insert the gene into a virus that can penetrate and spread among the tumor cells. After the virus has infected the cells, nontoxic 5-FC is given to the patient. Tumor cells infected by the virus convert the nontoxic drug to a toxic form that kills the cancer cells. Dr. Noriyuki Kasahara, a professor in the department of medicine, developed the gene therapy method in his laboratory.
While the two methods alone each show efficacy in mouse models, the greatest reduction in metastatic brain tumor size happened when the cellular and gene therapies were combined.
"There is a significant lack of federally funded research addressing translational studies on brain metastases of systemic cancers even though metastatic brain tumors occur ten times more frequently than primary brain tumors in humans," Dr. Kruse said. "These patients have a dismal prognosis because the brain represents a 'sanctuary site' where appropriate access by many chemotherapeutics is ineffective. Our research addresses this unmet need."
Both experimental therapies are being tested individually in ongoing clinical trials for primary malignant brain tumors. These trials present a unique opportunity for rapid translation of this technology from the laboratory to the clinic in the treatment of breast cancer, and all other types of cancer that metastasize to the brain.
This research was supported by the U.S. Army Research Materiel Command, California Breast Cancer Research Program, National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences of the National Institutes of Health, UCLA Clinical Translational Science Institute, Joan S. Holmes Memorial Research Fund, Joan S. Holmes Memorial Postdoctoral Fellowship and Tocagen, Inc.
UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has more than 240 researchers and clinicians engaged in disease research, prevention, detection, control, treatment and education. One of the nation's largest comprehensive cancer centers, the Jonsson center is dedicated to promoting research and translating basic science into leading-edge clinical studies. In July 2013, the Jonsson Cancer Center was named among the top 12 cancer centers nationwide by U.S. News & World Report, a ranking it has held for 14 consecutive years.

Six partnerships to develop sustainable transnational tourism in Europe Offentliggjort den: 23/04/2014, Seneste opdatering: 23/06/2015

The Late Show
|Terry Gilliam
|Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe and Brad Pitt
|Run Time
|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
|More Info
Join the Late Show's countdown to extinction with this brain-scrambling, paranoia-inducing bit of Apocalyptic cinema from Terry Gilliam!
It's the film that showed the world Bruce Willis had more big-screen depth than "yippee ki yay, motherfucker" and that Brad Pitt was more than a set of abs (not that that was really troubling Brad all that much, probably). Inspired by pioneering French filmmaker Chris Marker's short LA JETEE, Gilliam shows us a wintry world of the future where all humanity has been forced to take refuge underground after a deadly virus has swept the planet.
Willis stars as Cole, a man sent back from this bleak future on a mission to bring back a pure sample of the virus in order to find a cure. Ricocheting back and forth from future to present-past, Cole dizzyingly uncovers even greater mysteries about the events leading up to the bio-apocalypse -- and about his own fate.
Along the way he meets up with a sympathetic psychiatrist (the always gorgeous Madeline Stowe), and with a twitchily brilliant Mr. Pitt as a mental patient and social agitator with grand schemes.
Satisfyingly twisty-turny with compelling performance and ingenious visuals, director Gilliam managed no small feat in crafting a genuine sci-fi masterpiece of the early '90s. (George Bragdon)

HARRISVILLE Theres a new restaurant on the corner of Route 3 and Main Street at the gateway to downtown Harrisville.
For years, it was the Rose Garden. Now its called MonJa, with new owners, a new look and a new menu.
We were greeted heartily as we entered and seated ourselves in one of the high-back wood booths. The interior is colorfully and tastefully painted and super clean. Small TVs hang on three of the walls and are set to an unobtrusive volume.
Our sweet and pleasant waitress came over right away, brought us menus and told us the evenings special. The two-page menus are printed on colorful paper and offer lighter dining choices (munchies, soups, salads, burgers, hot and cold sandwiches) as well as dinner entrees leaning toward Italian fare.
Munchies consisted of a good number of standard fried food items. After asking our server a few questions, we decided on two starters made in-house salsa with chips ($3.49) and chicken balls ($6.99).
A modest cupful of salsa was alive with fresh ingredients tomatoes, onions, cilantro and just enough jalapeno to give it a little kick. The multicolored chips were slightly stale but complemented the salsa nevertheless.
We knew chickens dont have lips but we had to ask about MonJas chicken balls. Our server explained they are chunks of breast meat, battered in-house, deep-fried and served with a variety of sauces for dipping.
Unfortunately, someone left them in the fryer too long. Instead of being golden brown, most pieces arrived dark brown, some almost black. The chicken was all dried up. All you could taste was almost-burned breading. The chipotle sauce and fiery hot wing sauce didnt help at all.
Three large slices of soft homemade white bread were delivered. We had to ask for bread plates.
House salads came with our entrees, a very nice spring mix (although a bit limp) fortified with ringlets of red onion and crisp croutons, lightly drizzled with Italian dressing. Blue cheese crumbles were a little sparse, but at least we didnt get charged extra for them.
Although the dining room was uncomfortably chilly, our entrees arrived piping hot, which we appreciated.
We were excited to see homemade gnocchi on the menu ($11.99). The small flour and egg dumplings were a little pasty and pretty tasteless. They were doused with a generally bland red sauce. Something was missing. We tried adding grated cheese and a little salt, but that didnt help much.
A side of sweet potato fries was hot and delicious. The fries were nice and soft on the inside and crisp on the outside.
Shrimp in their jumbo shrimp Alfredo ($12.99) were anything but jumbo. That was disappointing. So was the Alfredo sauce. You could taste garlic in the white sauce, but it wasnt creamy or cheesy. Just bland.
The fettuccini noodles underneath appeared to be fresh, but they were cooked well past al dente, bordering on slimy.
A side of fresh veggies might have been fresh at one time, but the broccoli/cauliflower medley sure looked and tasted like thawed frozen veggies, bland and watery.
Rigatoni a la vodka ($11.99) was troublesome from the start. They were out of rigatoni. We were offered fettuccini as substitute, which was fine with us.
But the fettuccini was overcooked. And the pink vodka sauce (tomato sauce simmered with cream, vodka and Parmesan) that should have been alive with flavor was virtually tasteless.
A side of coleslaw was creamy and tasty, a commercial product, we assumed.
We ended the evening with three desserts: homemade vanilla cream pie ($2.99), commercially made wild berry cheesecake ($3.49) and chocolate mousse cheesecake ($3.49).
Although the cream pie was homemade, neither the filling nor the crust was as good as we had hoped. The crust was nothing special and the filling was bland.
Both cheesecakes were good, very nice flavors with good cheesecake texture. We particularly enjoyed the berry cheesecake with its swirls of macerated berries throughout.
Dinner for three at MonJas came to $62.93 before tip.
We really liked the feel of the place (although the heat could have been turned up a notch), and our server was very good. But the food, although it looked great on the plate, wasnt that great. We mused that if you can make it better yourself at home, why go out to eat?
And youre probably asking yourself, like we did, whats with that name, MonJa? Did they mean mangia, an Italian word meaning eat and spelled it wrong? We researched MonJa on the Internet and didnt come up with anything remotely having to do with food.
MonJa Restaurant is open Thursday through Sunday for lunch and dinner this time of year. We were there on a Thursday after the restaurant had been closed for three days. Perhaps that was the reason the chips were stale, the rigatoni supply ran out and just one homemade dessert was offered.
But thats not really a big deal. The food has to taste good to keep people coming back. Guess we were expecting better.
You can contact restaurant reviewer Walter Siebel via email: email@example.com.
MonJa Restaurant
8204 Main St.
Harrisville, N.Y.
MonJa is open at the former Rose Garden location in Harrisville with new owners, a new look and a new menu. A good number of home-cooked menu items with an Italian flair.

Homer laughlin Platter 1947

Sure; L is the 12th letter of the alphabet and means the item was made in December. The 47 means 1947. And the NB is actually N8, meaning it was made in plant number 8. A quick review of like Homer Laughlin platters from around that time frame in the Worthopedia shows them selling in the $5-35 range. I hope that this is helpful!

Well I can state this from an experience that was more of a recovery/rebuild. Backup the /etc, /home, and /var. Plus grab anything like your custom RPMs for anything that is mission critical that isnt Red Hat sanctioned (like Apache, Sendmail, X).
I had a cracked box that was more than likely rootkitted that had to be rebuilt, that took about an extra 45 minutes or so after the install, repartition (the guy that did it was an asshole, had it all as one giant partition).
Other than that, I would expect a pretty smooth sailing. Upgrades I have done usually were reformats for none other than cleanliness of the install. Plus head on over to the mailing lists. Maybe a success/failure story can be relevant to your hardware or specific software (it hated upgrading RealTek NIC's or APache needed to be toyed with or whatnot).
