Actually, Rick..I just took a look at the website in question and it seemed fine to me. Actually, a bit complementary to this one. It has information this one does not, this one has info that one does not. It seems like a win-win to me.

Dear Emily,
As your readers consider the nature of news sources in our region they should actually define what journalism is required in our region. At present, local on-line media including the Danville Express provides distribution of news releases and stories authored by governments, groups and institutions. Such distribution is not matched to appropriate journalism that fully backgrounds the content and provides appropriate updates of distributors' actions and interests.
Your background reflects a qualified journalist fully capable of carrying on the exceptional work of Dolores Fox Ciardelli. In an editorial, beyond your BLOG, would you please provide your plans for advancing journalism for the Danville Express and identify the major regional issues that will be your focus?
Let's ask your readers to guide you in the issues they would select for your expert journalism.
Ralph without ROFL

Missing out on Jeff Fisher, and Peyton Manning many media members around the league laughed saying the Dolphins were the team that kept swinging and missing. Well flash forward to today where the Dolphins sit in the 5th place of the AFC and a potential playoff contender. It seems for the first time the Dolphins are getting plenty of respect.

The recent destruction and loss of life in Japan is a terrible reminder of how vulnerable we are to natural and other unexpected disasters. Though you can never replace a loved one, when you're in an area like this, one way to mitigate some of the financial risk is through insurance.
IN PICTURES: 10 Insurance Tips For Homeowners
The Huge Costs of the Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami
The earthquake and tsunami in Japan caused a terrible amount of destruction and a still-growing number of lost lives. Though the human loss is much more important, there were also tremendous effects on the financial markets, primarily affecting insurers with involvement in Japan and uranium-related companies. Though the insurance companies are seeing their stocks sink, many Japanese people will be counting on insurance claims to help rebuild their homes. The cost to insurers has been pegged at between $35 billion and $60 billion. If the $60 billion estimate publicized by the Associated Press proves correct, this makes the Japanese quake and tsunami nearly as expensive as Hurricane Katrina, the most expensive natural disaster ever. Whatever the figure is, it's bound to be huge and have lasting effects on insurance companies, the overall financial industry and, most importantly, the people of Japan.
Natural Disasters' Huge Costs
There are a few disasters that have insurance claims reaching astronomical numbers. It shouldn't be news to anyone that in the past year Australia has been hit with a variety of natural disasters, running the gamut from wildfires to floods. Australia's Queensland floods, which occurred in the past year, have led to more than AUD$2 billion in insurance claims, according to The Australian, with 43,755 claims being filed. This averages to be around $45,000 per claim, well worth the cost of insurance. Around half of the claims filed are for residential properties. (Before paying for coverage, find out what you need to do to ensure you get paid. See What To Do If Your Insurance Won't Pay.)
9/11's Financial Burden
When it comes to disasters and insurance claims, few things will overshadow the misery and destruction caused by the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York's World Trade Center. According to The Guardian UK, the worldwide claims to insurance companies for 9/11 were between £25 and £50 billion (US$40.1-80.2 billion).
Car Problems
In Aberdeen, U.K. In 2007, a car-shopper was lucky to have had insurance when he took a £500,000 (US$810,000) Italian supercar called a Pagani Zonda S out for a test drive. The car was being test driven on a racing track in September 2009 when the driver was involved in a crash. The insurance company, which was the driver's not the car's owner's, filed an insurance claim for £300,000 (US$480,660) to cover the cost of fixing the car, as it was sent back to the automaker in Italy to be worked on. According to the BBC, only 10 of these cars are produced each year.
Fine Art's Huge Price Tag
It's probably not going to do you any good to insure your buddy's abstract mixed-media project from art school, but if you've got a Picasso scribbling, it's going to be worth it. Joseph Mallord William Turner, an English artist from the 17th and 18th Centuries, was the artist behind a number of famous paintings that were stolen in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1994, while on loan from London's Tate Gallery. The paintings were insured and the £24 million (US$38.5 million) claim was made to the British insurance company Hiscox. According to The Economist, insuring art was not necessarily the norm at the time, so the Frankfurt art gallery was quite fortunate in its foresight to insure these works. (Learn how to read one of the most important documents you own. Read Understand Your Insurance Contract.)
The High Price of Saving Whiskers
Pet insurance is certainly not something that all pet owners have. When you consider the emotional attachment that many owners have to their pets, it seems like a given, especially considering that most pet operations cost far more than buying a new dog or cat. According to pet medical insurance company Trupanion, pet insurance can actually save you a lot of money. In the company's list of the most expensive claims of 2010, the most expensive claim filed with Trupanion was over $22,000 for a mixed breed cat's renal failure operation.
IN PICTURES: Top 10 Insurance Myths
The Bottom Line
From auto insurance to pets, art and disasters (natural and otherwise), sometimes it pays to be insured. When you're trying to prepare for the unexpected, it can sometimes seem pointless if the unexpected never occurs, but if it does, you'll be glad if you have insurance that will cover it.

Stepping Forward fundraising drive
As the Zen Centre of Vancouver nears its 50th anniversary, we've launched a fund-raising drive to pay off the last of our mortgage (approximately C$85,000, 5% of the property value) before it comes up for renewal in June 2016. Free of the burden of mortgage payments we can establish residential programs, especially for younger practitioners, gain financial security, and be ready for further growth.
As you know, the centre has helped hundreds of Canadians, introducing them to Zen practice and offering a wide array of daily programs and residential retreats. Everyone who's come to the centre over the years has benefitted in some measure: some simply gaining a brief introduction to meditation that may ring a bell years in the future; others finding a lifelong commitment to cultivate their authentic self, freeing their potential to play a more beneficial role with family, friends, and as a responsible citizen of this earth. The centre wishes to continue helping newer generations.
We invite you to support our mortgage retirement fund in whatever measure you can. All donations big and small are welcome, and are fully tax deductible.
See this pdf brochure for more details and how to donate. Thank you.
Please share this information with friends, co-workers or family that could be interested. Printed brochures are available at the centre.
Reviewing Practice
The form of our practice at the Zen Centre of Vancouver, like others across North America, has evolved over time; indeed the whole history of Zen is one of change. The form changed when it came from India to China and surrounding countries. While the form has changed, the essential teaching remains clear and timeless.
The basic change to our form since Sasaki Roshi first came to Vancouver 50 years, is a gradual evolution away from the traditional Japanese residential monastic model Roshi knew best. About half the chants are now done in English, zendo customs have been simplified, corrections are far less severe, introductions to newcomers are more detailed and inviting, yoga exercise has been introduced into the weeklong retreats, and so forth. It is now time to consider the relevance of ordainment in a lay city centre with lay city people.

Throwback to that time I was honored at the White House
Hi I'm Morgan. I'm a US Skeleton athlete, attorney, wildland firefighter, and AmeriCorps alumni from Champion, OH. Learn more about me.
Being a girlfriend at the Olympics is hard work! I couldn't have wished for a better experience watching Kyle slide at his first games. I literally, laughed, and cried, and cried some more. Happy to be home! Check back for some of my best stories and pictures from the games. From Russia with love.

A little motivation for an afternoon sprint session.
The most surprising thing happened to me a couple days ago. A stranger donated to my Olympic dream! Prior to this donation the only donations I have received were from family and frankly, I cant ask anymore of them. While I love this sport, I am constantly worrying whether I'll have enough money to pay my bills and pay for the season. A competitive season costs approximately $8,000-$10,000. Right now I'm still paying law school loans. Since I don't live at the training center I'm also paying all my living expenses. The season just started and while I've just getting the cobwebs out and trying to enjoy my first runs back I'm already worrying about the expenses of the upcoming season. To receive this random act of kindness from a stranger was not only much needed but greatly appreciated and inspiring. As I finally take my body and my sore neck go bed after my first two days of sliding I'm little less worried about the season knowing that I do have support out there! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
Look for an update soon about the summer training and the upcoming team trial races. As always, think fast thoughts!!!!
We keep hearing about athletes going into debt chasing their Olympic dreams. My experience has been training from 3 to 7 hours a day and then heading right to work for 8 hours. Having no financial support is difficult to say the least.
Although I graduated from AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps almost ten years ago, it seems like yesterday when I left small town Champion, Ohio with big dreams of serving others. Since my time in AmeriCorps, I have been a member of an elite Interagency Hotshot firefighting crew, I've graduated from law school and passed the Ohio bar, and I recently began training in the sport of skeleton with the hope of one day representing the United States in the Winter Olympic Games. People frequently ask me why I've chosen to pursue these diverse, challenging endeavors. My answer to this question is always the same. I pursue them because I want to take the path less traveled, and my experience in AmeriCorps gave me the courage to do so. Most importantly, AmeriCorps taught me following my heart could positively impact the lives of others. Whether sliding headfirst down a mile of ice at 90 miles per hour, or being the last line of defense between a wildfire and someone's home, I'm fighting for positive change in my own communities.
An important part of AmeriCorps NCCC mission is to strengthen communities in which we work. In Blythe, CA we helped build twelve homes in which families could raise productive members of society. In Astoria, OR we built a multipurpose space for everything from meetings to disaster relief. In Pasadena, CA we inspired children and encouraged them to play together after school rather than sit in an empty house. In each and every community, we left it stronger than when we arrived.
Our community work was felt at a personal level as well. We inspired one another to be better teammates and better leaders. We learned to embrace change and encourage it in others.To this day I look with admiration at the accomplishments of my ten teammates since graduating AmeriCorps. We entered as young adults, some directly out of high school. Today we are doctors, lawyers, world class athletes, community leaders, and academics. My teammates have competed in World Cups for the US Women's Rugby Team. They have volunteered their time teaching in Africa. They have earned Masters degrees and Ph.D.s while working on important community health initiatives. Individually we have done amazing things in our own unique ways, but we will always be united in our desire to effect positive change in our communities.
Being an elite athlete is a selfish undertaking. We spend hours, weeks, months, and years training for just a few moments of glory on the international stage. When I began my pursuit of an Olympic berth, I had to consider that most people will never make it to the Olympics and that I may be one of them. This would have been paralyzing were it not for the lessons I learned in AmeriCorps. I can lead by example. I can inspire positivity. I can dedicate myself to excellence. Most importantly, I can commit to leaving my sport a better place than when I arrived. Similarly to while in AmeriCorps and leaving our communities better than when we arrived. If I do these things, I will succeed.
I'm thankful every day for my time in AmeriCorps. It is the most important thing I have ever done. Without those experiences I would never have the courage to take the path less traveled. I would never have met the people who pushed me to embrace change while inspiring change in others. If this is what ten people can accomplish in ten short years, what will the future hold? And one day, as I dream of standing in front of a stadium packed with thousands, watching the American flag being raised as the National Anthem plays, it dawns on me. Not even an Olympic stadium can hold the 775,000 talented, inspiring, AmeriCorps alumni whose ranks I'm proud to be a part of.
Welcome to my little site where I hope to keep my friends, family, and those random people who search the internet late at night updated on my latest adventure, the pursuit of my Olympic Dream. I realize most people don't know much about the sport of skeleton but it is a really great sport that I hope to be able to share with those of you interested or bored enough to visit my site. Thanks for visiting and check back for my next post where I tell the story of how after seven years of school, five years of fighting fire and one bar exam later I decided to pursue my Olympic Dream.

Debate on anti-conversion law with Home Minister of India Rajnath Singh
18/05/2015 India
Dear Mr Rajnath Singh,
I thank you for inviting the public at large to debate on the need for an anti-conversion law. I am amazed at your ignorance and lack of proper understanding of the laws of the Land of India.
I am an Indian by birth, and I would like to respond to your invitation for the debate.
Your bigotry, racism and discrimination is apparent on the face of it.
Your ignorance of law is apparent on the face of it.
You are one of the prime accused in the BABRI MASJID DEMOLITION along with L K Advani.
Let me rebut your ignorance in the following paragraphs and enlighten you.
Averment 1. Pledging full protection to minorities, Home Minister Rajnath Singh today questioned the practice of conversions and advocated a debate on the need for an anti-conversion law.
My rebuttal: As per the Constitutional Assembly debates, what is illegal is ILLEGAL CONVERSION BY FORCE AND FRAUD.
Citation: Rev. Stanislaus vs State Of Madhya Pradesh & Ors 1977 SCR (2) 611
A Constitutional Bench of 5 Judges [Ray, A.N. (Cj), Beg, M. Hameedullah, Sarkaria, Ranjit Singh, Shingal, P.N., Singh, Jaswant] have come to a conclusion on the Conversion debate.
Averment 2: He also wanted to know whether people cannot be served without indulging in conversions.
My rebuttal: Hey, Mr Rajnath Singh! Are you implying your agreement with Mohan Bhagwat's tirade on late Mother Terresa?
Do you have any proof that there is any case against Mother Teresa about Illegal Conversion by force and fraud? If you don't have, make such allegations on a person who is alive and prove it in a Court of law.
Don't forget that you are one of the co-accused in the case of Destruction of Babri Masjid. Verdict has still to be decided.
The Supreme Court HELD: (1) Article 25 guarantees to all persons right to freedom and conscience and the right freely to profess, practice and propogate religion subject to public order, morality and health.
Averment 3: "There are sometimes rumours and controversies about 'Ghar Wapsi' and conversions. Why should there by any conversion at all?
My rebuttal: Supreme Court of India says "The Article does not grant right to convert other person to one's own religion but to transmit or spread one's religion by an exposition of its tenets. The freedom of religion enshrined in Art. 25 is not guaranteed in respect of one religion only, but covers all religions alike which can be properly enjoyed by a person if he exercises his right in a manner commensurate with the like freedom of persons following other religion.
Averment 4: "In other countries it is the minorities which ask for anti-conversion law. Here, we are only saying that there should be an anti-conversion law. There should be debate over it. We must think on bringing anti-conversion law. I humbly request all of you to think over it," Singh said.
My rebuttal: The freedom of religion enshrined in Art. 25 is not guaranteed in respect of one religion only, but covers all religions alike which can be properly enjoyed by a person if he exercises his right in a manner commensurate with the like freedom of persons following other religion.
Hey, Mr Rajnath Singh, the anti-conversion laws are already in place in the states.
The Centre has no business in State matter of Public Order.
Averment 5: The Home Minister's remarks on conversions assume significance in the midst of controversy over anti-conversion campaign undertaken by Hindutva organisations and comments by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat regarding Mother Teresa.
Averment 6: "Why can't we serve the people without doing conversion. Those who want to serve the people should do so without engaged with conversion. Can't we find a solution to the problem.
My rebuttal: Mr Rajnath Singh, please clarify. Are you alluding to a dead person Mother Teresa, who cannot defend herself? Do you have any proof or allegation or Criminal case registered for Illegal Conversion by force and fraud?
Otherwise, shut up and behave like a Home Minister of India!
Averment 7: "The issue was even raised in Parliament. Many people said government should do something about it. But I think society also has a role. Society too has responsibility. Can't we live without respecting each other's faith. What is the necessity of conversion. Can't a religion survive without involving in conversion," he said.
My rebuttal: Society, the Government and the Judiciary have a role for Illegal Conversion by force and fraud.
Averment 8: The Home Minister also raised the issue of fear among certain sections about possible demographic change in the country and said the basic character of the country should not be allowed to change.
My rebuttal: Hey, Rajnath Singh! What are you talking about obliquely?
Averment 9: "If we go to the US and try to hurt the identity of that country, will they accept it? Why do we want to change their identity? There should not be any such attempt. How can a country like India allow changes in its demographic profile and character? Let India's character remain the same," he said.
My rebuttal: Hey Rajnath Singh! What are you talking?
Averment 10: The Home Minister expressed concern over the conflict between communities and said the trend should be stopped and the tendency to establish supremacy by one community over another should come to an end.
My rebuttal: Hey Rajnath Singh! Talk some sense.
Averment 11: "Why do we fight with each other? It is very unfortunate. A dog bites a dog but why cannot a human keep himself away from any fight. Is there any need to establish supremacy over someone else. I believe god is one and people call him by different names.
Averment 12: "While preaching our respective religion, can't we live with brotherhood. Why do we have to engage in conversion. What is the need. Conversion cannot be anyone's goal. Let all people preach respective religion and live peacefully. Many people may not agree with what I am saying. You may have a different opinion and I respect that," he said.
My rebuttal: Voluntary Conversion to any religion is permissible by law. What is prohibited is ILLEGAL CONVERSION BY FORCE AND FRAUD.
Averment 13: Singh said India is the only country where people of all religions are found. "The Parsi community had to leave their own land Iran. They are living in India with peace, prosperity and dignity for ages," he said.
My rebuttal: How are you responsible for this fact, you hypocrite?
Averment 14: A documentation on Jews has suggested that India is the only country where the community does not face any persecution. The oldest church in the world is in India. It is not in the US or in Europe, it is in Kerala, he said.
My rebuttal: How are you responsible for this fact, you hypocrite?
Averment 15: Singh said India is a country which respects all religions and believes in peaceful existence. Here all 72 sects of Islam live peacefully.
My rebuttal: How are you responsible for this fact, you hypocrite?
Conclusion: I am in favour of CONVERSION. Conversion from inhuman persons to Human beings! Conversion from Criminals to law-abiding citizens! Conversion from Aryan Supremacist brigade to Humanity! And thereafter re-conversion to Humanity as well!

I suggest that you use a 1 - 2% Acetic Acid stop after the development step for uniformity, and I suggest a prewet.
Maybe you've covered this, PE (I can't imagine there's anything you haven't covered here at least once) but does the prewet require a further increase in development time? I might run up to ten rolls with my Rollei/Digibase mini kit. With prewetting I imagine the developer becomes pretty diluted after several rolls. I actually haven't been prewetting (for better or worse) and of course I lose some developer with each run. It becomes a little more exhausted with each run, but not diluted.
Thoughts? Am I splitting hairs?

Within-subject comparison of the subjective and psychomotor effects of a gaseous anesthetic and two volatile anesthetics in healthy volunteers
ABSTRACT Inhalant abuse is a serious public health problem throughout the world. The present study compared the states of intoxication produced by three inhaled anesthetics that represent two of the three major classes of abused inhalants, as classified by [Balster, R.L., 1998. Neural basis of inhalant abuse. Drug Alcohol Depend 51, 207-214.]. Isoflurane and sevoflurane represent the class of volatile substances, and nitrous oxide (N2O) comprises a class of its own. Fourteen healthy volunteers inhaled the vehicle (100% O2) and two concentrations each of isoflurane (0.1 and 0.2%), sevoflurane (0.2 and 0.4%), and N2O (15 and 30%) for 40 min each, across seven separate sessions. Drug concentrations were chosen to produce similar ratings of drug effect strength and similar impairment on a psychomotor test, the digit-symbol substitution test (DSST). Ratings of drug effect strength and performance on the DSST were similar across drugs; however, the volatile anesthetics produced greater sedation and greater impairment on three other psychomotor tests than N2O, whereas N2O produced a greater magnitude of putatively pleasant and psychedelic-like subjective effects. These results are consistent with the drugs' putative receptor mechanisms of action and confirm Balster's classification of the volatile anesthetics into a class distinct from N2O.

- "Across the nine studies, N 2 O and 100% oxygen (placebo) were administered either within the same session or in separate sessions. The agents could be administered within the same session because the residual effects of N 2 O, once it is no longer being administered, are extremely short (Beckman et al., 2005). In the studies in which the agents were inhaled in the same session (Zacny et al., 1996b; Cho et al., 1997; Zacny et al., 1997), a period of 60 minutes in which the mask was removed separated the two inhalation periods. "
ABSTRACT: Although numerous studies have assessed subjective effects of nitrous oxide, few studies have analyzed for sex differences. Since sex differences have been reported in subjective effects of several drugs such as opioids, nicotine and alcohol, we sought to determine if sex modulates the subjective effects of the inhalant, nitrous oxide, in healthy volunteers. Thirty-eight females and seventy-two males from nine studies that were conducted in our laboratory were included in this retrospective analysis. All experimental studies utilized randomized, placebo-controlled, repeated measures designs in which subjects inhaled 30% nitrous oxide in oxygen and 100% oxygen (placebo). Dependent measures in this analysis were subjective effects measured at baseline and 15 min into the inhalation period. Nitrous oxide produced a number of subjective effects, including those that could be considered abuse liability-related ("elated," "having pleasant thoughts," drug liking), but sex did not modulate these effects. Females and males showed similar subjective responses to 30% nitrous oxide. Future prospective studies might assess other concentrations, other measures (choice, analgesic response), and other inhaled general anesthetics to more comprehensively characterize the role of sex in response to inhalants.Drug and alcohol dependence 12/2010; 112(3):251-4.

- "The highly stigmatized nature of inhalant use bolsters this assumption (Oetting, Edwards, & Beauvais, 1988). Yet, subjective accounts of inhalant use experiences suggest that inhalation of volatile substances produces an intensely pleasurable form of intoxication (Beckman et al., 2006; MacLean, 2008; Shah, Vankar , & Upadhaya, 1998) that may be accompanied by hallucinations , altered states of consciousness, and delusions of grandeur or reference (Evans & Raistrick, 1987; Preble & Laury, 1967; Tolan & Lingl, 1964). The hallucinatory and cognitive effects of inhalant drugs may vary qualitatively by the physiochemical properties of the specific agents of misuse ; for example, toluene use is associated significantly more commonly with tactile hallucinations and a perceived " speeding up " of the passage of time than butane use, which is associated comparatively more frequently with a perceived slowing of time (Evans & Raistrick, 1987). "
ABSTRACT: Although volatile substance inhalation is prevalent in many contexts and presents a serious threat to public health, this pernicious form of substance misuse remains poorly understood. The question of why people seek and misuse inhalants may be addressed by examining phenomenological accounts of inhalant intoxication, yet few investigations of inhalant intoxication experiences are reported in the literature. This investigation employed a structured interview to assess inhalant intoxication experiences of 267 low-, moderate-, and high-frequency inhalant users. Low-frequency inhalant users reported predominately hedonic experiences during inhalant intoxication, whereas high-frequency users reported a mixture of hedonic and aversive experiences. Aversive experiences such as depressed mood, suicidal ideation, and chest pain were commonly reported by high-frequency users but were relatively rare among low-frequency users. High-frequency users also experienced significantly more euphoria, talkativeness, and grandiosity during inhalant intoxication than low-frequency users. Hedonic and aversive experiences during episodes of inhalant intoxication are relatively common among high-frequency adolescent inhalant users.Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology 12/2010; 18(6):498-509. DOI:10.1037/a0021737 · 2.71 Impact Factor
- "Few studies have described the epidemiology of NO use generally or in juvenile justice or adolescent clinical populations (Sakai et al. 2004; McGarvey, Canterbury & Waite 1996), and to our knowledge, none have attempted to discriminate the sociodemographic and psychosocial profiles of adolescent NO and VS users. This lack of differentiation in the inhalant literature is unfortunate, given the potential pharmacological distinctiveness of NO and VS inhalants (Duarte et al. 2008; Beckman, Zacny & Walker 2006) and the claims for NO's low abuse potential (Gillman 1995). "
Article: Nitrous Oxide Inhalation Among Adolescents: Prevalence, Correlates, and Co-Occurrence with Volatile Solvent Inhalation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Few studies have examined the prevalence of nitrous oxide (NO) inhalation or co-occurrence of NO and volatile solvent (VS) use in adolescents. Study aims were to (1) describe the independent and conjoint prevalence of NO and VS use in incarcerated youth, (2) compare adolescent users of both NO and VS inhalants (NO+VS) to users of NO-only, VS-only, and nonusers of NO and VS (NO/VNS nonusers) with regard to demographic, psychological, and behavioral characteristics, and (3) conduct logistic regression analyses identifying correlates of NO use. Residents (N = 723) of Missouri Division of Youth Services were assessed with standardized psychosocial measures. Participants averaged 15.5 (SD = 1.2) years of age, were ethnically diverse and predominantly male. Lifetime prevalence of NO use was 15.8%. NO+VS users evidenced greater impairments compared to NO+VS nonusers. VS-only users evidenced impairments that were similar in kind but at lower prevalences compared to those displayed by NO+VS users, whereas NO-only youth had profiles that were similar to those of NO/VS nonusers. Psychiatric disorders, polydrug use, and temperamental fearlessness were correlates of NO use. NO+VS users were at high risk for behavioral and emotional problems. Screening and interventions for NO and VS inhalant use should be implemented in juvenile justice facilities.Journal of psychoactive drugs 12/2009; 41(4):337-47.

Protective Effects of Human iPS-Derived Retinal Pigment Epithelium Cell Transplantation in the Retinal Dystrophic Rat
ABSTRACT Transformation of somatic cells with a set of embryonic transcription factors produces cells with the pluripotent properties of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). These induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have the potential to differentiate into any cell type, making them a potential source from which to produce cells as a therapeutic platform for the treatment of a wide range of diseases. In many forms of human retinal disease, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the underlying pathogenesis resides within the support cells of the retina, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). As a monolayer of cells critical to photoreceptor function and survival, the RPE is an ideally accessible target for cellular therapy. Here we report the differentiation of human iPS cells into RPE. We found that differentiated iPS-RPE cells were morphologically similar to, and expressed numerous markers of developing and mature RPE cells. iPS-RPE are capable of phagocytosing photoreceptor material, in vitro and in vivo following transplantation into the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) dystrophic rat. Our results demonstrate that iPS cells can be differentiated into functional iPS-RPE and that transplantation of these cells can facilitate the short-term maintenance of photoreceptors through phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments. Long-term visual function is maintained in this model of retinal disease even though the xenografted cells are eventually lost, suggesting a secondary protective host cellular response. These findings have identified an alternative source of replacement tissue for use in human retinal cellular therapies, and provide a new in vitro cellular model system in which to study RPE diseases affecting human patients.

- "ESC/iPSC can be induced to predominantly differentiate into RPE cells using similar protocols as above, but with the omission/antagonism of FGF to bias the generation of RPE cells over neural retina (Meyer et al., 2009, Osakada et al., 2009a). These ESC/iPSCderived RPE cells phagocytise photoreceptor outer segments(Carr et al., 2009a) and preserve retinal function in the RCS rats(Vugler et al., 2008, Carr et al., 2009b). A study comparing adult human ESC-derived RPE with foetal human RPE demonstrated a strong correlation in their gene expression profiles. "
ABSTRACT: Stem cell therapies are being explored extensively as treatments for degenerative eye disease, either for replacing lost neurons, restoring neural circuits or, based on more recent evidence, as paracrine-mediated therapies in which stem cell-derived trophic factors protect compromised endogenous retinal neurons from death and induce the growth of new connections. Retinal progenitor phenotypes induced from embryonic stem cells/induced pluripotent stem cells (ESCs/iPSCs) and endogenous retinal stem cells may replace lost photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and restore vision in the diseased eye, whereas treatment of injured retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) has so far been reliant on mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Here, we review the properties of non-retinal-derived adult stem cells, in particular neural stem cells (NSCs), MSC derived from bone marrow (BMSC), adipose tissues (ADSC) and dental pulp (DPSC), together with ESC/iPSC and discuss and compare their potential advantages as therapies designed to provide trophic support, repair and replacement of retinal neurons, RPE and glia in degenerative retinal diseases. We conclude that ESCs/iPSCs have the potential to replace lost retinal cells, whereas MSC may be a useful source of paracrine factors that protect RGC and stimulate regeneration of their axons in the optic nerve in degenerate eye disease. NSC may have potential as both a source of replacement cells and also as mediators of paracrine treatment. Copyright © 2015. Published by Elsevier B.V.Stem Cell Research 02/2015; 2(3).

- "Autologous somatic cells can be genetically reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), an embryonic stem cell-like state, and then differentiate into all three germ layer cells, including a retinal lineage with the production of photoreceptors and RPE cells [7]. These iPSCs derived cells have been transplanted into animal models of retinal degeneration and have shown promising results [8], [9]. Whilst using this differentiation method, risk of tumour formation remains due to contamination with undifferentiated cells [10]. "
Article: Adult Limbal Neurosphere Cells: A Potential Autologous Cell Resource for Retinal Cell Generation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Corneal limbus is a readily accessible region at the front of the eye, separating the cornea and sclera. Neural colonies (neurospheres) can be generated from adult corneal limbus in vitro. We have previously shown that these neurospheres originate from neural crest stem/progenitor cells and that they can differentiate into functional neurons in vitro. The aim of this study was to investigate whether mouse and human limbal neurosphere cells (LNS) could differentiate towards a retinal lineage both in vivo and in vitro following exposure to a developing retinal microenvironment. In this article we show that LNS can be generated from adult mice and aged humans (up to 97 years) using a serum free culture assay. Following culture with developing mouse retinal cells, we detected retinal progenitor cell markers, mature retinal/neuronal markers and sensory cilia in the majority of mouse LNS experiments. After transplantation into the sub-retinal space of neonatal mice, mouse LNS cells expressed photoreceptor specific markers, but no incorporation into host retinal tissue was seen. Human LNS cells also expressed retinal progenitor markers at the transcription level but mature retinal markers were not observed in vitro or in vivo. This data highlights that mouse corneal limbal stromal progenitor cells can transdifferentiate towards a retinal lineage. Complete differentiation is likely to require more comprehensive regulation; however, the accessibility and plasticity of LNS makes them an attractive cell resource for future study and ultimately therapeutic application.PLoS ONE 10/2014; 9(10):e108418.

- "The dystrophic RCS rat has a mutation in a gene crucial for photoreceptor outer segment phagocytosis (Mertk), which results in primary loss of RPE and secondary photoreceptor degradation. Similar to studies using hESC-RPE and other retinal and non-retinal cell types (Gamm et al., 2007; Idelson et al., 2009; Lund et al., 2006; McGill et al., 2007; Wang et al., 2008), injection of dissociated hiPSC-RPE into the subretinal space of RCS rats resulted in long-term photoreceptor survival and retention of visual function (Carr et al., 2009). Similarly, Li et al. treated 2 day postnatal SCID Rpe65 rd12 /Rpe65 rd12 mice with a subretinal bolus of hiPSC-RPE and showed that donor cells integrated into the host RPE. "
Article: Induced pluripotent stem cells as custom therapeutics for retinal repair: Progress and rationale[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Human pluripotent stem cells have made a remarkable impact on science, technology and medicine by providing a potentially unlimited source of human cells for basic research and clinical applications. In recent years, knowledge gained from the study of human embryonic stem cells and mammalian somatic cell reprogramming has led to the routine production of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) in laboratories worldwide. hiPSCs show promise for use in transplantation, high throughput drug screening, "disease-in-a-dish" modeling, disease gene discovery, and gene therapy testing. This review will focus on the first application, beginning with a discussion of methods for producing retinal lineage cells that are lost in inherited and acquired forms of retinal degenerative disease. The selection of appropriate hiPSC-derived donor cell type(s) for transplantation will be discussed, as will the caveats and prerequisite steps to formulating a clinical Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) product for clinical trials.Experimental Eye Research 06/2014; 123.
