CPCs, which are typically only found in fetal development, can become all of the different cell types of the heart and can integrate into heart muscle tissue after injection.
An estimated 17 million people die from cardiovascular disease each year. Although mortality rates are declining, heart attacks are still among the most frequent causes of death in the developed world. Often, the cause of a heart attack is the closure of a coronary artery that supplies blood to the heart, which kills heart muscle cells. Cardiomyocytes, which are the heart muscle cells responsible for the contraction of the heart, are not able to regenerate after a heart attack. The massive loss of cells and tissue, and the highly restricted regeneration capacity of the adult heart, lead to an impaired blood supply throughout the body that drastically affects a patient's quality of life. To restore the heart's function after a major heart attack, clinicians require functionally mature cardiomyocytes that perform like the native cells in the adult heart to replace the cells that were killed.
The production of such functional cardiomyocytes from well-defined cardiovascular progenitor cells (CPCs) is the focus of the research team led by Prof. Dr. Katja Schenke-Layland from the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB in Stuttgart and her colleagues, Dr. Ali Nsair of the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and Prof. Dr. Robb MacLellan of the University of Washington in Seattle, who have now succeeded in identifying such cells in a mouse model. The work, which could revolutionize the treatment of heart disease, was recently published in the journal PLoS ONE (PLoS ONE7 (10):e45603, doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0045603).

The Space
Think of this as staying over at your friend's place or coming to visit a favorite aunt. You are only ten minutes by car from Ubud, in a peaceful "tree house" tropical atmosphere and with company when you feel like it.
Your comfortable day bed is NOT a separate bedroom, but the spacious bed has elegantly draped mosquito netting around it for privacy. In fact, even your host's "bedroom" isn't enclosed with a wall, it just seems private because of the netting around her bed and a floor to ceiling sarong/ curtain.
"Sleep-Over" is available for one or two (short term, 3 days minimum, one week maximum, usually but negotiable).
Next door one one side is a virgin bamboo field with animals grazing and a dirt path to the temple, behind is a Balinese village, with all the sounds of local living.
The house is recycled - a traditionally shaped Indonesian "joglo" home, transported from Java and adapted to western use. It is a comfortable one bedroom home, with all of the owner's individual style and nick-nacks. Western-style living, tucked away in a traditional Balinese village and surrounded by lush tropical gardens.
Don't be surprised ... because this is OPEN plan living, you will hear the sounds from the village - roosters, dogs, motorbikes, crickets, geckos, children at play. The owner is completely used to the late night dog discussion and the early morning rooster challenge; you can use ear plugs if you like, lol.
The real treat is that you often hear the sound of traditional Balinese music/ instruments, from master musicians practising for performances in the nearby Balinese temple.
NEIGHBOURS: There's more garden and field around you than people.
Downstairs is a self-contained rental apartment (see Space to Breathe on (website hidden)). People often stay for a month or more, especially when on retreat or a yoga teacher training.
You are a bamboo plantation away from the local Balinese village on one side and a wall away from a Javanese family on the other.
Rental Fee: includes delicious breakfast (cooked by Mas Putu, the host's young cook/ helper), cleaning 2 mornings/ week. You can also arrange a delicious traditional Balinese "Welcome Dinner" (Nasi Kuning), or a simpler dinner most nights while you are here, unless Putu has prior engagements in his village.
WIFI: Reasonable Bali speed wifi connection available.
Many cafes and restaurants that are featured in the brochures in the Guest Book will home deliver.
Guest Access
You will share the sunset-view bathroom, kitchen, living and dining spaces - all part of a spacious open plan (really one main room) apartment.
The home includes a well equipped, open plan kitchen; bathroom with hot bath, shower and garden/ sunset view; spacious entertaining/ dance/ yoga/ space, completely open to the view of palm trees and tropical garden on two sides; and a work desk that you can't work at, because the view is too lovely.
Hmm, and there's a guitar to borrow, if you are feeling musical.
Interaction with Guests
Ibu Jen has lived in this village for more than eight years and been visiting Bali for more than 20, so she is also happy to share her experiences and suggestions with you, even when she's away working or playing in other cities or countries.
You'll find everything a lot easier after a simple chat over coffee, after you arrive - or over airbnb's messaging system, if Jen is out of the country.
If more than one guest is staying, the round rattan dining table often becomes the focus for some delicious shared meals (either home made or home delivered!) But it's all really flexible and no-one is obliged to be social over breakfast - some simply want to do their own thing.
Many guests arrange for Putu to cook a traditional Balines "Nasi Kuning" (Yellow Rice plus all the trimmings and side dishes( dinner for their first or last night in town - one night we had ten for dinner including 2 locals, and only 2 were from the same country - other times, it's just a quiet 2-3 people.
Either way, it's a delicous, relaxing, fun evening.
The Neighborhood
Keep Monday night free, because the men of the local village perform a spectacular Kecak (Monkey) dance at the temple next door.
The performance costs approx $8 and all the money goes into upkeep of the temple; one of our guests liked it so much, she made a $35 donation to buy a new costume for one of the dancers; that's always welcome - it's not a wealthy village.
There's an inexpensive laundry 100 meters south, an ashram with regular yoga and meditation classes, 250 meters to the north, and delicious and cheap local warungs (cafes) even closer.
You are on the outskirts of Bali's "yoga centre", the town of Ubud, just 10 minutes by car or motor bike - or 30 minutes on a bicycle if you are fit - from many top quality restaurants, galleries and museums, places to dance and sing, the famous Monkey Forest, traditional healers and much more.
And then less than 30 minutes from whitewater rafting, Bali's famous rice terraces, Safari Adventure Park, Bali Bird Park, Bali Elephant park, Pranoto's famous Life Drawing Classes, Goa Gajah (Elephant Caves) and many inspiring Hindu temples. You can take Paon Cooking School's wonderful cooking class - and learn so much about Bali/ Hindu customs, not just about cooking - and take private gamelan music lessons in the next village, with guru Mentik, a fine musician and teacher.
We can recommend several local professional drivers/ guides, available to take you on a tour or transport you around Ubud; they speak good English, they will go at your pace, and take you places you'd never find on your own.
Getting Around
TRANSPORT FROM AIRPORT/ PREVIOUS STAY: This is not included in the price. However, unless you already have a car and driver organised, WE insist that you book a local Ubud driver through us, NOT a taxi from the airport or other part of the island. Or a driver from somewhere else, that an old friend knows very well. They may be lovely men, but they DON'T KNOW THIS AREA and will cause a lot of headache getting you here, especially at night, where they get spooked (they all believe in ghosts, seriously!) because compared with the bright lights of Sanur and Kuta, our village seems very dark to them.
We will book someone who we trust, who knows where we live and will bring you straight to the door. If you choose NOT to do this, we will NOT come out to find you on a motor bike, when your cheaper airport taxi driver drops you off miles away, leaving you next to a ricefield in the rain. In fact, we'd prefer you book with someone else. (Sorry but this has happened too many times to be polite about it any more :-)
WE CAN INCLUDE THIS EXTRA 350,000RP" $35US FOR THE DRIVER IN THE RENTAL PRICE, if you like. You MAY find a cheaper taxi driver, but he isn't a local and you won't get lots of great local info and ideas from him! And it means one more stranger knows where we live.
GREAT LOCAL DRIVERS: Our guys are also a great help when you want to do any touring or site seeing around Ubud.
Some of our favorite local drivers/ tour guides live very close so as well as day trips, they are available for rides in and out of Ubud, at 30,000rp one way on a motor bike, or 60,000 one way in a car.
PUBLIC/ OTHER TRANSPORT: No public bus; car and motor scooter cheap and simple to rent.
Other Things to Note
Please be aware that power blackouts sometimes happen in Bali, due to the rapid development. If power goes out, it is usually on again in a few hours, but in rare instances, may be off overnight. The wifi will be unavailable if the power goes out.
THE BASICS: Sorry but you must speak some English or Indonesian. It is too difficult to share an open plan home, without a language in common. We love to help you here in Bali - can't be done properly with (website hidden) translate - we've tried :-(
No smoking inside the house (nor horrible butts left in the garden) and no pets. Definitely no drugs; you risk the death penalty for yourself and us!
WELCOME: We often invite friends for Sunday lunch and are very happy for you to join us. At night, you can join us for dinner for a small fee. We are good cooks and happy to discuss the menu/ make sure you will enjoy it, but this is "family" space - everyone eats the same
ID PLEASE: We are required to give a photocopy of your ID to our local Indonesian police, so please provide one on arrival.
SECURITY DEPOSIT/ DAMAGE: You have been asked for a basic security deposit of $150; this will be returned to you by airbnb if nothing is damaged. The house will be inspected before you leave, so please be warned that an accurate fee for ALL DAMAGES will be charged, exceeding the security deposit if appropriate.
DOs and DON'Ts (Temples):If you plan on going to a temple, make sure you bring or borrow a sarong and sash, and - if you are a woman - a blouse that at least covers your arms to the elbow. In some temples this is not compulsory, but in all cases, it will show your respect for our local Hindu people's beliefs and customs.

In all, I would highly recommend Jen's place- thank you so much for having me Jen :)!
Jen is a wonderful host, she made me feel so at home, and I'm so glad that I could meet her in person.
Awesome place in Ubud if you're adventurous and looking for a comfortable stay!
A big plus is that Jen made us pancakes one morning :-) All other mornings, Jen's housekeeper prepared us a tasty breakfast.
- Very friendly host
- Atmosfera particolare
- Opportunity to organize good trips around Bali with the host team
- Non propriamente pulito, al netto del fatto che sei in un villaggio a Ubud
Jen was so warm and friendly - she happily emailed me heaps of suggestions in the weeks before I arrived. We didn't get to meet unfortunately, but Kung, main assistant and driver was fantastic - he really looked after me, and even welcomed me into his home for Gulangan. The house is gorgeous and rustic - love the open bamboo walls. I used a push bike, and the ride from Ubud to the village was all uphill, and got a bit far for me every day. this is my 3rd time to Bali, and staying here was the most immersed I've ever felt in the culture. Will come back.
Booked this for a week but unfortunately we decided to change after one night. Nice house with original design. Due to some health issues and mold we had to move. My cough increased cuz of this. Told the owner.. She was not there to help us out as she was abroad. The place is 10 min from central Ubud. Next to a small village with dogs, cows, roosters and therefore noises.... But that's Bali:) she has a driver and two young boys cooking. Also very helpful with phone and activities.
Jen's house is a dreamland. Now that I'm back to my city life, I'm really missing the nature's "symphony band" (we have the rooster crowing at unearthly hours, the dogs barking, relaxing sounds of the crickets) It feels so much like home, so peaceful. I had no trouble sleeping at all. Her place is so comfortable and clean. Also, Not forgetting the lovely helper Putu who make delicious breakfast for us (although I was secretly hoping for a bigger portion haha) and you have got to try his Nasi Kuning! *MUST TRY* I am craving for it right now! Putu puts in so much effort in the presentation and table setting! We are just blown away and really hope it open his own cafe in the near future! Seriously, it's superb!
Also, I highly recommend Pak Kung to drive you around! I really didn't expect him to be almost like our tour guide. I can't believe how willingly he is to drive us around (he don't even mind when we requested for pick up at an earlier timing) and he even help to organize our itinerary to make it more time efficient. He also got us some discounts for rafting and atv. He was of great help! If he can't pick up, he would arrange his best friend or cousin! (They are lovely people, who shared a lot about their lifestyles and customs with much enthusiasm, and it's very informative) We really learnt a lot from them:) They are more like friends to us. We are deeply thankful for them.
It's a pity that we didn't meet Jen in person, because all these are possible because of Jen! We had confusion here and there but Jen never hesitate to help us and was of great help. Really can't thank her enough for making our trip worthwhile.
Jen's place is a gem on the outskirts of Ubud in Junjungan. Open plan living taken to a new level, I fell asleep to the chirp of surrounding crickets and the gentle arguing of nearby dogs.
This really is a sleep-over so be prepared to share the sleeping/living space with other guests. Week days were started with Putu arriving to make breakfast from whatever was available in the kitchen. A humble, respectful, lovely guy he really did everything to make Jen's as comfortable as possible.
Junjungan is aproximately ten minutes drive to Ubud, so have a look at getting a scooter and a roaming sim card to help with maps. If you aren't so brave I highly recommend asking Kung to drive you around the area. He's very willing to drive you wherever you may need to go and will bring you around the most interesting places around Ubud complete with history and information. Kung picked me up from the airport, waited for hours for me to finish activities, and dropped me off in Balangan on the other side of the island. If you need anything and he's not able to help he will do everything he can to get a friend or cousin to pick you up and leave you where you need.
My one regret from my stay in Junjungan was not getting to meet Jen in person. Over email she did everything to make sure that I got everything that I needed to have an exceptional stay in Junjungun, even helping me out when I found myself stranded in Lombok. I really couldn't have asked for anything from her.
Bursting full of personality, brimming full of friendly people, Jen's place was incredible.
I thoroughly recommend the coffee. :)
Terima kasih,
Jen's place is truly magical - but also typical.
This is not a western style resort with pool, just the jungle house of a wonderful woman who makes you feel home instantly.
I love that there are no walls per se - waking up to a sunset view without having to get out of bed is - in my opinion true luxury.
Jen can also arrange bike rentals, drivers and excursions in the whole island - very convenient if you're into spontanous travelling. She even organized a "family" diner with the other hosts while I was there.
Strongly recommends to anyone looking to get off the beaten path.
Jen's House is amazing. I felt truly homey when I arrived in Jen's Place. I was really impressed by decorations, the open air concept of the house and the cleaniness! Jen is a excellent cook as well!
And not to forget the driver, Pak Kung. A really helpful driver! Cheers!

About the Host, Wayan Jen
Your host Wayan Jen has lived in Ubud for almost ten years - she's our semi-permanent guest! She welcomes you and makes sure you are comfortable and content.
Jen is a traveling Aussie who lives mostly in Bali, which has part of her heart; another part in New Zealand, where she was born, and all of it wherever her two sons and her sisters are. It's great that she's often around to help with ideas for great travel around Indonesia. (Even when she's away, you can chat with her here, via airbnb).
Three years ago, Jen finished a 15 month stint as an Australian Volunteer International in Development (AVID) volunteer, helping an Indonesian non-profit expand one youth centre here in Bali, and set up another one in post-tsunami Aceh, at the western end of the country. In December 2013-January 2014 she volunteered in the Philippines, helping there after the horrific super-typhoon. Soon she's off again, to the Solomon Islands, to help their government develop a Disaster Communication Plan.
Here in Bali, if you want to try some Ubud nightlife, ask Jen. When she's in Bali, she loves dancing, especially partner dancing - Swing, Modern Jive, Salsa - and occasionally getting up with a local band to sing a song or two. There are many places to find good nightlife in Ubud.
For Jen, a stranger is a friend you haven't met yet.

A Stable Distributed Clustering Algorithm for Mobile Adhoc Networks
Download Now
Date Added: Sep 2012
Format: PDF
Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET) are distributed systems which consist of several mobile nodes; they do not include predetermined topology and have no concentrated control. The nodes connect wirelessly by the approach in which they decide themselves. To access the development in the MANET, an approach should be found such that less control messages are distributed in the MANET, and movement of the network nodes is concealed from other network nodes. One method of access the above purposes is the clustering of MANET. In this paper, a distributed weight based clustering algorithm has been proposed for the MANET.

In Season: Green Beansby Toby Amidor in In Season, August 29, 2009
I love it when my 7-year old son asks for veggies. Green beans are one of the most popular requests. Maybe he only likes the crunchiness or bright color, but I'm content just knowing he wants some. For you other green bean lovers, here are some basics and fun ways to prepare this summer crop.

Boone Tavern
This is the place to eat at when you're feeling like something a little more upscale than the Dinner Bell. Used to, it was black tie, but now you can find people dining in jeans. Personally, I miss the old days...But anyway. It's definitely the most expensive restaurant in Berea, and quite possibly the county. It's still elegant and refined and the food above par.
Favorite Dish: I love the spoonbread that comes with every meal. It's basically soft corn bread with a little sweet taste. For meals, you can't go wrong with any of the meat dishes, and the baked Alaska is a great dessert when they have it.
Papa Leno's
I've been eating at this place for nearly 17 years now. And, unfortunately, I've been ordering the same thing. Hot ham and cheese on homemade bread or a bowl of Wisconsin cheese soup. I don't know why. Habit, maybe? But anyway, this is a great little place on College Square, around the corner from Boone Tavern. It's a very old world kind of restaurant with wooden booths and dark corners and has become a favorite with the college crowd. If you're in the mood for pizza, subs, or pasta, it's definitely the place to go in Berea.
Favorite Dish: There are a few dishes that I like...the Wisconsin cheese soup is good, but strong so stay away if you don't like harsh cheese. The hot ham and cheese on Papa Leno's bread is good and comes with a side of potatoe chips and a pickle. The baked spaghetti with meat sauce is excellent and comes with a huge garlic bread stick that is nice to dip into the meat sauce. For dessert, there is the chocolate suicide cake (it's as rich as it looks) and the turtle cheesecake, my favorite.
Coffee Conspiracy
Located at the top of the Old Town Arts District in Berea, Coffee Conspiracy is a place for specialty coffee, food, and live music. Old world motif, high ceilings, art and photography adorn the walls. Not just hot coffee-they also serve smooth blended ice coffee drinks and fruit smoothies. Definitely the hangout for the young, intellectual crowd.
A local hangout (especially for the people at my workplace), Mario's has something for everyone. Pizza, pasta, salads, subs-and that's just for the Italian side. They also have burgers, fries, and baked potatoes. And then there's the Mexican menu. Go for the buffet-you get more for your money.
Favorite Dish: I really like their baked ziti. The cheese on top is soft and creamy. A lot of times the ziti is over (or under) cooked and it has a hard taste to it. This place has just about mastered it. The people I work with like the burgers, but I don't care much for the bread they put them on. I guess it's all just a matter of taste.
Blondie's Ice Cream Parlor: Ice Cream!
Some people think that this place is too high for the area, but it's about as much as Graetter's or White Mountain Creamery. I guess it just takes the local people time to warm up to a new place-especially since in the past the only place to get ice cream at has been Dairy Queen and Sonic.
Favorite Dish: I think it's a good place as far as ice cream goes. And I'm a huge ice cream fan. It's cute and they're trying to make a nice atmosphere with the outdoor seating and "vintage" feel to it. And anyway-it's ice cream! What's not to like?
Sweet Betty's Restaurant: best buffet
This was brand new in 2003.
There was a buffet section, mostly booths and a restaurant section, mostly tables.
We went for the buffet because they were having a special that day.
They had veggies and fruits and fried chicken and corn-on-the-cob and buns and mash potatoes and tossed salad and a drink for under $10 per person (and return trips to the buffet). The buffet had jello and pudding for dessert but we decided to have a side order of pie-ala-mode (hey, why not splurge on vacation).
The place was spotless (looked like it had just opened for first time within the week).
The waitress was friendly. She had a pretty easy job on the buffet side; not much to do but ask if everything is all right and get extra cupfuls of drink if needed.
Favorite Dish: Buffet was best and pretty cheap
- Road Trip
Main Street Cafe: ice cream and cake.....
We stopped in here to get out of the rain and get something lite to eat and drink.
It was a cute little diner/cafe that appeared to be run by college students (at least the staff was young enough to be students). There was absolutely no crowd that day due to the weather and they looked a little disappointed when all we ordered was desserts. I had some ice cream in a dish and my wife had some carrot cake. We had coffees and that was all.
The place was clean and neat; the tables didn't wobble and the chairs were comfortable.
My wife, as usual, got a conversation going with the waitress about what we were doing in town and asking what places we should try.
When we dried off a bit, we thanked the waitress with a good tip.

The Boone Tavern Restaurant: Don't Miss the Spoon Bread
The first time I ever ate at the Boone Tavern Restaurant I was a young teenager and had come with my parents from Tennessee to visit my older brother who was a student at Berea College. One of my fondest memories of that trip was our meal at Boone Tavern. I have been back many times since, and it is always still a special event. There's an elegant Southern charm and hospitality about this place which is seldom found today. The service has always been exceptional as well.
Favorite Dish: Everything here is good. I tend to be partial to southern fried chicken. A specialty is the "spoon bread," - cornbread so lucious and moist that they dish it out to you with a spoon.
Breakfast: Sat. & Sun., 7a.m. to 10 a.m.
Lunch: Mon. - Sat., 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Dinner: Nightly, 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Sunday Brunch: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Papaleno's: Excellent Italian and Pizza
Papaleno's garlic bread is to DIE for! The pizza is awesome, as are the soups, the portobello sandwich, and the freshly baked pastas. Everything tastes fabulous. You order at the counter, fill your own sodas, you don't need to tip, it's pretty cheap, and the vibe is great. A local photographer's work adorns the brick walls. You can watch people as they go by on the street...it's a very inviting atmosphere. You see everyone here from professors to little league teams. Fair warning though-like all of Berea, this building is OLD-restrooms are not handicap-accessible.
Favorite Dish: I'm addicted to Garlic Bread and a Ham Pizza. FRESH CRUST and sauce! FRESH BREAD floating in a POOL of GARLIC BUTTER! I'm a total garlic junkie.

Thai: Authentic Thai in southern KY!
This restaurant is Thai and Chinese. I have never been disappointed at this restaurant. The owners are Thai, trained chefs. Everything really is made from scratch...even the wonton puffs and sauces...things that many Chinese places buy frozen or as a mix. The decor is very pretty-everything from photographs to dolls to Thai crafts (they also sell some of these things). It's small, and the cozy booths and large round tables lend themselves to a sense of ambience or alternately, a large family-style group dinner. Excellent service each of the dozen or so times I ate there, and the owners are so friendly and genuine.
Favorite Dish: Super Noodles! I love noodles...these are WIDE and flat. The sauce is just a little spicy and sweet too. I choose the chicken version. I recommend it to anyone who loves noodles. The curries are authentic, as verified by a friend who spent 3 weeks in Thailand and emphatically declared "This is Thai!" upon his first bite.

The Boone Tavern Hotel serves traditional Kentucky fare in a formal setting--although suits or jackets are no longer required. The picture below is of the lobby, where you can play skiddles or chinese checkers while waiting for your seating at the restaurant. Call ahead for a particular seating. Every meal comes with a salad or soup, main course, and a serving of 'spoonbread,' a type of cornbread which is more liquid than most.

The WanPen (Chinese/Thai) is owned by a husband and wife (he is from mainland China, she is Thai).
The atmosphere is 'small café'. All entrees are from the menu: Thankfully no buffet.

Tomorrow is April 8th, the American Association of University Women's "Equal Pay Day".
Symbolically, it's the day when women's earnings will finally catch up to men's earnings from the previous year. Because of the gender pay gap, it takes women an extra three months of wages to make up that twenty-three percent difference.
At the present time, statistical evidence points to the sad reality that Texas does not practice equal pay.

If the saying, "You're known by the company you keep" is true, then Texas is really in trouble.
Simply put, Greg Abbott's alliances reveal his true character. It's from these associations that Texans get a glimpse into the heart, mind and soul of Mr. Abbott. Little by little, his friends, his speeches, and his carefully choreographed political theater are peeling away the façade he created as Attorney General.

At first, I thought it was merely the West Texas version of an Elvis sighting, but I was wrong.
Randy Neugebauer, District 19's prodigal son, has come home this weekend. After months of sending a staff surrogate, claiming to be too busy to debate his primary opponents, May and Winn, Congressman Neugebauer arrived just in the nick of time to appear at the Lubbock County GOP Convention to beg for support.

If you've ever questioned why the disapproval rate for government and politics is in the 80's, look no further than the creeping pall of corruption, the ethical lapses and personal self-interest which trumps community interest. We read, watch, and hear about every single day. We've become desensitized; we mistakenly believe it's the cost of doing business and getting things done.

Governors race
The most important issue facing state
Health-care reform; approval ratings for governor and president
Views on guns in bars and immigration laws
The poll conducted July 19 through July 21 by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research carries a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. The poll was conducted for the Tennessee Newspaper Network and WBIR-TV in Knoxville. The Tennessee Newspaper Network comprises The Tennessean, The Commercial Appeal, The Knoxville News-Sentinel and Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Election 2010
Tennesseans are united in their support for the state's governor but divided sharply along racial and political lines in their views of the president, a survey conducted for the Tennessee Newspaper Network has found.
Gov. Phil Bredesen was rated as "excellent" or "good" by nearly three-quarters of voters who responded to a poll of 625 registered voters conducted last week by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research. The governor did equally well in all three of the state's grand divisions and regardless of political party.
The Democratic governor actually had a slightly higher approval rating from Republicans than Democrats, 77 percent versus 75 percent, though that is within the poll's 4 percent margin of error. Among independents, Bredesen's approval rating was 72 percent.
Only one-third of respondents gave President Barack Obama a grade of excellent or good. Democrats were 16 times more likely than Republicans to give Obama a high grade.
"There's just a fundamental difference in beliefs," said Bryan Jones, 46, a Republican from Winchester. "I think the whole country is about split down the middle on that divide."
Bredesen, on the other hand, with less than a year left in office, received a favorability rating of at least 72 percent among Democrats, Republicans and independents from both genders and across the state's three grand divisions. Only 7 percent of voters rated his performance as poor.
Bredesen's support appears largely based on his handling of the state budget. His cuts to TennCare, the state's medical insurance program, and other programs appear to have allowed the state to manage the current recession without increasing taxes.
"I think he's doing good," said John Keeton, 69. "It's a tough job for anybody right now."
Keeton, a retired telephone service technician from Old Hickory, was less certain about Obama. The Democratic health-care plan addressed an issue that needed to be taken up, he said, but he remains skeptical that it will work.
"I don't blame him for trying to get a health-care bill, but it just hasn't really helped the economy," said Keeton, an independent.
Young favor Obama
Two-thirds of respondents 65 and older, such as Keeton, gave Obama a poor grade. Support for Obama was highest among respondents ages 18 to 34, nearly half of whom viewed the president favorably.
Views of Obama were even more divergent on racial lines. Ninety-five percent of black respondents said he has done well, and none said he has done poorly. Only 22 percent of whites said he has been excellent or good; 58 percent said he has been poor.
Loston Barrett, 74, said some Tennesseans are still wary of an African-American president.
"There's still a few people holding that little grudge," said Barrett, who is white.
Barrett, a retired factory worker and farmer from Readyville, said he has supported Democrats all of his life. He compared Obama's situation to the one inherited by President Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s.
"It's going to take time," Barrett said.
Voters also were divided along party lines. Seventy-nine percent of Democrats said Obama has been excellent or good. Eighty percent of Republicans said he has done poorly. Those differences carried into policy views. Fifty-six percent of Democrats but no Republicans said Obama's actions to stabilize the economy have worked. Seventy-three percent of Democrats and 3 percent of Republicans said they support the health-care reform plan.
"Every time we turn around, he's passing something that puts us farther in the red," said Donna Deluca, 50, of Clarksville.
Deluca, who called herself an independent who leans toward Republicans, said she opposes the health-care plan because of its cost and insurance mandates. The retired postal supervisor said she has adult children who cannot afford insurance as it stands and will not be able to pay the penalty for not enrolling.
Jones, a pharmacist, also criticized the health-care plan's mandates and costs. That policy and others introduced by Obama illustrate the depth of the nation's political divide.
"I really think they (Democrats) believe government can answer all questions," Jones said. "People like me, Republicans, believe that it's the cause of a lot of problems."

moreChapter 1: Room at the Inn
So there he stands, not five feet away from me. He looks almost unchanged since the last time I saw him, ten years ago—fabulous, for a man now in his nineties. His features are still sharply cut, his sardonic smile and turquoise eyes as bright as ever. The only difference I notice is that both his hair and his wiry body have thinned a bit. His trousers (probably the same ones he was wearing a decade ago) are now so baggy he's switched from a belt to suspenders.
A Shakespearean phrase pops into my mind: ". . . a world too wide / For his shrunk shank." From As You Like It, I think. That's something I seem to have inherited from this little old man in his shabby pants: a tendency to produce random literary quotations, from memory, to fit almost any situation. I don't do this on purpose; it just happens to me. The same way it happens to him. Despite the fact that we've rarely had a significant conversation, I know that my father understands the way I think, probably better than anyone on earth.
"Well, well, well," he says heartily, opening his arms. Hmm. This is new. Back when I knew him, my father wasn't the open-arms type. But, then, neither was I. I go forward and hug him. It does feel odd, but I've been practicing hugging the people I love for years now, and I get through it.
"Hello," I say, and stop there, at a loss for words. I can't bring myself to say "Hello, Daddy," but I don't know what else to call him. "Daddy" is the only title by which I and my seven siblings ever addressed him. "Dad" would sound disrespectfully casual, "Father" too formal, his given name completely bizarre. I settle for repeating "Hello," then gesture toward the easy chair by the door. "Please, sit down."
He sits, and I'm startled by another eerie jolt of familiarity: This man moves just like I do. Nervous as I am, scared to death as I am, there is something unspeakably poignant about the fact that my posture and carriage are echoes of his. It's been a long time since I encountered so many of my own chromosomes in anyone besides my own children.
"I thought this day would never arrive," my father says, still wearing his most cheerful smile. "I thought you'd never come to your senses."
He assumes I've come to recant. He's wrong. I'm here for two reasons: to sew up the loose threads I left hanging when I fled my past and to make sure, as far as I can, that my father isn't afraid to die. If his model of the universe is correct, there must be serious retribution awaiting him in the afterlife, and in case this belief worries him I want to tell him I don't share it. The God to whom I pray is all parts unconditional love, no part vengeance or retribution. I once read that forgiveness is giving up all hope of having had a different past, and I reached that point a long time ago. But forgiving is not the same as obliterating memory. As Santayana wrote, "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." This is something I do not want to happen. Not to my father, and certainly not to me.
"Oh, I stand by everything I've said," I tell my father as I sit down on the sofa a few feet away from him. "That hasn't changed at all."
His expression turns from cheer to scorn in a heartbeat. "Ridiculous," he says. "Utterly ridiculous."
Those sky blue eyes flash toward the door and I feel my throat tense with the fear that he's noticed it's slightly ajar, that someone is listening. He's used to people observing everything he says and does—so perhaps his spider senses are tingling. The hotel room where we're meeting is decorated in tasteful, neutral earth tones, ridiculously bland for a battlefield. But that's what it is, and we both know it. We also know it isn't level; my father practically owns the turf and has the advantages of age, gender bias, family expectation, psychological dominance, and religious legitimacy. Which is why I'm making sure there are witnesses to every word we say. Everything. Add secrecy to his other advantages, and my father will win walking away.
"I know you say it's ridiculous," I tell him gently. "We've established that. But there's a lot of evidence that squares with what I remember. Something happened."
"Nothing happened to you," he says firmly. "Nothing like that. Never."
"Well, then, nothing left an awful lot of scars." He already knows this. I told him about the scars a decade ago, when I met with him and my mother in my therapist's office. "It's not the kind of scar tissue a kid gets playing on the jungle gym. Someone put it there."
"Oh," says my father with a shrug, "that was the Evil One."
I can feel myself blink, the way you do when the eye doctor sends that little puff of air into your eyes to check for glaucoma. The Evil One? I've heard a rumor that my family of origin thinks I was consorting with the devil at the age of five, but I never believed they'd actually say such a thing. Even my family can't be that crazy, right?
I sit and stare for a moment as my mind frantically tries on several different interpretations of my father's statement. Does he actually think I spent my childhood hanging out with Lucifer? Is the Evil One the name he has for an aspect of himself? If he's suffering from a split personality or psychotic fugue states, is he aware of this intellectually or only at some dark subconscious level? Is my father a calculated liar, or is he certifiably insane, or could he actually be empirically correct? I have no idea. My mind feels like a tar pit. We've been talking for less than a minute, and already I feel the same blend of bewilderment, fear, and self-doubt that flavored my early years. Wow. You really can go home again.
"The Evil One," I repeat, squinting at my father, as if that will make things clearer. "Well, I'm not questioning that."
He taps the arm of his chair with his fingers. His hands are strong and squarish, with prominent tendons. Like my hands. Like my children's hands. I feel a rush of tenderness and suddenly realize that he probably thinks I'm recording our conversation in order to turn him over to the authorities—either legal or (worse) religious. I want to reassure him I have no such intentions. I have witnesses in place only because that's what I was trained to do in controversial situations, where every perception is clouded by conflicting interests. Later, when my father claims this conversation didn't happen the way I will remember it, I'll be able to check several sources.
My desperate thirst for data in any area related to my father is a tribute to his job skills. He's ostensibly a retired college professor, but his real life's work, the area in which he's built his reputation, is as an apologist for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, otherwise known as Mormonism. The Mormon Church, whose headquarters is in Salt Lake City, Utah, is one of the few major world religions that traces its roots to recorded history, leaving the claims of its leaders open to factual testing—and the Latter-day Saint leaders, especially the religion's founder, Joseph Smith, have always been fond of making claims.
For instance, Smith taught that the American Indians are the descendants of a small group of emigrants from Jerusalem, who arrived on the continent in approximately 600 BC, and wrote their history onto a book of golden plates. Smith said he was led to these plates, which were buried in New York State, by an angel named Moroni (rhymes with "the phone eye") in 1823. Using a magical pair of spectacles buried along with the plates, Smith said, he translated the plates, and later published them as the Book of Mormon (Mormon was one of the original owners and authors of the golden plates). The problem, from a Latter-day Saint perspective, is that when scholars set out to test Smith's version of reality, they tend to bump into a lot of contradictory evidence (such as the fact that DNA analysis traces Native American ancestry to Asia rather than to the Middle East). This is the time for apologists to rush in, like white blood cells attacking a virus, to defend Joseph Smith and the subsequent Mormon leaders. Nobody does this better than my father.
In 2002, the year the Winter Olympics were held in Utah, the New Yorker published an article on the state's most prominent religion. The reporter who penned the story, a writer named Lawrence Wright, referred to my father as "the most venerable scholar in Mormonism, though he is little known outside of it." Wright interviewed the venerable scholar about some problematic aspects of Mormon scripture. Why is it, he asked, that after decades of archaeological work bent on verifying the Book of Mormon, "not a single person or place named in it has been shown to exist"?
My father's official published response, quoted in the New Yorker, was: "People underestimate the capacity of things to disappear." Wright also recorded what my father told him during their interview—comments tinged, according to Wright, "with some asperity." I know exactly the tone Wright meant: a stern, disdainful note my father adopts whenever his assertions are under attack.
"Well, if it was all pure fiction, who on earth had ever done anything like that?" my father said. "This is the history of a civilization, with all its ramifications having to do with plagues and wars. The military passages are flawless. Could you please tell me any other book like that?"
When I read the New Yorker article, several responses leapt to mind (for one thing, the "flawless" military passages in the Book of Mormon record battles waged between enormous populations who herded sheep and goats, operated mines, smelted metals, and rode wheeled chariots drawn by horses, none of which existed in North America prior to their introduction from Europe several centuries after the people described in the Book of Mormon allegedly arrived). But of course I knew that my father wasn't actually requesting input from Lawrence Wright. His response was rhetorical, a question that really meant the guy should stop asking so damn many questions.
This is the kind of thinking with which I grew up, the style of debate I took with me when I ventured out of Utah, the conservative-value capital of America, and off to a non-Mormon university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where liberal attitudes are practically manufactured for export to other population centers. I still remember the immense relief I felt the first time one of my Harvard professors ripped into a paper I'd written, pointing out that my logic was circular, my language duplicitous, and my evidence shadowy. Part of me felt that my skin was being flayed off by sheer embarrassment, but a much larger part of me was practically screaming with relief that someone was dealing with reality more or less the way I naturally did, instead of reinforcing the way I'd been taught to think. "Thank God!" I remember thinking, though at the time I was an atheist. "Thank God, thank God, thank God!"
Thus began my love affair with evidence, which has ultimately brought me here, to a hotel room I have carefully arranged as a kind of psychological laboratory. Even after ensuring that I'll have multiple eyewitness accounts of our conversation, talking with my father still makes me feel as though my brain is twirling slowly in my head. I'm very grateful that my cousin Diane is parked next door, and Miranda is curled up in the closet across the room. I needed this kind of backup to gather enough courage to meet with my father at all, and though I feel weak and childish, there is huge comfort in knowing that people who would never hurt either of us are hearing this strange debate.
"Well, see, Dad," I say carefully, "I find your reaction to the scar thing kind of strange." I notice his eyes widening a little, perhaps because I'm openly disagreeing with him, perhaps because I called him Dad. This suddenly feels right. It feels like rebellion. It's the harshest, most disrespectful word I've ever deliberately said to him.
"If one of my daughters turned up with a lot of weird scars," I go on, enjoying the giddy, reckless feeling of saying what I actually think, "I wouldn't just blame the Evil One and drop the subject. I would want to find out what had happened to her."
"Nothing happened." My father's voice carries the ring of absolute assurance, absolute finality, that has made him a safe haven for so many Mormons whose faith is getting a little wobbly. The debate is resolved, the balcony is closed, the fat lady has sung, the last dog is hung, that's all she wrote.
This dead-certain tone is characteristic of many deeply religious folk, but Mormons are trained to use it about as thoroughly as any group of people I've ever known. As soon as they can talk, Mormon toddlers are held up to microphones in church meetings, lisping to hundreds of onlookers the words their parents whisper in their ears: "I know the Church is true. I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet. I know our president is God's prophet on the earth. I know these things beyond a shadow of a doubt."
Mormons tend to know a whopping lot of stuff beyond a shadow of a doubt. I envy them. My whole life is shadowed by doubt. The only conviction I embrace absolutely is this: whatever I believe, I may be wrong.
For a moment, looking at the stern pioneer conviction on my father's handsome face, I'm so disoriented that I feel my brain twirling even faster—not in agreement but in familiar hopelessness, in the sickening conviction that no one will ever take my word over his. Everything seems to slither right off the hard drive in my head. He's right: People underestimate the capacity of things to disappear. At the moment, I can't even remember the chain of events that took me out of Mormonism, that have made me "a hiss and a byword" not only to my father, not only to my family, but to an entire religion.
Then I remember Miranda and Diane, just a few feet away, and my vision seems to clear. The whole thing comes back to me, the journey that has taken me out of religion and into faith. I recall its horror and beauty, the enormity of the things I have lost and the incalculable preciousness of the things I've gained. I wouldn't give up the journey, not a moment of it. On the other hand, I have no desire to live it again. If Santayana is right, this means I must be willing to remember the whole story. I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and force myself to go back to the beginning.

Soulstice Theatre delivers shimmering 'Memory of Water'
Coming from north by northwest, take I-794 to Howard Ave. Make two quick lefts and you've arrived at the St. Francis-based digs of Soulstice Theatre, home to a tiny, gutsy troupe which - when the stars align, as they often do - offers a night out that can rival much of what's available downtown, at half the price.
The constellation appearing on the Soulstice stage right now - in a production of Shelagh Stephenson's "The Memory of Water," under David Ferrie's direction - is definitely worth the trip. »Read Full Article
Next Act's 'Irma Vep' haunted by earlier version
In the second act of Charles Ludlam's madcap "The Mystery of Irma Vep," now on stage at Next Act Theatre, a frightened Lady Enid (a cross-dressed John McGivern) turns to housekeeper Jane Twisden (a cross-dressed Norman Moses) and pines for the protective presence of Nicodemus, her faithful manservant.
With the twitch of a smile and a twinkle in his eye, Moses' ordinarily prim Jane make clear that calling Nicodemus on stage just then simply isn't possible. »Read Full Article(1)

If you regularly switch between a Windows PC and a Mac, here's some good news. The just-released Office 2016 keeps the familiar Mac look and feel but overhauls the user experience to ease the pain of going back and forth. It's available now for Office 365 subscribers.
Authorities identify 10 suspects, including Acer spokesperson Henry Wang, after conducting raids at 14 office locations to investigate allegations that shares were sold just before the Taiwanese PC maker was due to announce its third-quarter 2013 losses.
If you want a PC running Windows 7, where do you look? Skip your local office superstore or big-box retailer and go where the business buyers go. In those channels, you'll find that Windows 7 never went away. In fact, it's not just alive, it's thriving.
HP and Lenovo are betting that Android PCs can convert both office and home Windows PC users to Android.
If you have a Windows Phone 8 device and rely on Office documents, Microsoft has released a new app called Office Remote that might help liven up PowerPoint presentations.
This app enables efficient reading of electric meters. The electric meters are tagged with an inexpensive NFC tag that serves to identify...
The office superstore is offering sales on Google Nexus 7 tablets and a Lenovo Ultrabook for $529.99.
Ask yourself: Do you really need to use Office, or is some other post-PC-era service going to do a good enough job for you?
RemoteView is a service from RSupport that lets you remotely control computers located either at home, at the office, or anywhere else...
According to a report by MacTech, Microsoft's recent tweak to PC Office licensing now includes the Mac version.
Microsoft's new "no transfer" policy for Office 2013 has left some customers asking what happens if the original PC fails and needs replacement. A corporate blog post tries to "add clarity" to the issue, but what the company really needs to do is change the license terms themselves. UPDATED: Microsoft reverses policy, will allow transfers after all.
Read your licence: the most popular version of Office 2010 could also only be used on a single PC...
Microsoft is still tied to Windows and the PC industry, and putting the flagship Office suite on the iPad would give the competing platform additional traction.
The office superstore is offering a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and a Series 3 notebook bundled for $469.98, as well as an HP Envy Ultrabook for $599.99.
The ubiquity of Microsoft's desktop office suite is one reason the company has remained a leader in the PC segment -- and that same Office ubiquity is the main reason Linux still struggles.
Microsoft has stopped giving PC manufacturers a stripped-down version of the Office 2010 productivity suite to bundle with their computers.This week Microsoft stopped including Office Starter 2010 in the preinstallation kits it supplies to manufacturers.
Microsoft has released mobile versions of its core Office products, Word, Excel and PowerPoint, for Symbian smartphone users.Although they are not yet in the Nokia Store, the apps became available for download via the Nokia software update tool and the PC-based Nokia Suite on Tuesday.
Windows 8 won't run on every XP-era PC; watch out for PAELooking for a PC in the office that still had Windows XP on to upgrade to Windows 8 Consumer Preview this week meant digging down below the variety of test machines (from 17" notebooks to netbooks) that had had Windows 7, on to some of the oldest boxes in the office; the PCs I bought when I first started work as a freelance writer in 2001.
Microsoft's fourth quarter was much better than expected as it rode growth in its server and tools unit, the corporate PC upgrade cycle and its business division, which features Office.
Forget the cute name and the little pink hearts on the front of this ultraportable scanner; Doxie will win your affection because of its simplicity and cloud connection.Scan into the cloud with DoxieUnlike many portable scanner, the Doxie doesn't need a power supply, just the USB cable that connects it to your Mac or PC; that and the exceptionally light weight make it truly portable (and it's easy to tuck away on the shelf and grab when you need it in the office).
The two companies are considered the arch-rivals of the technology world, but there have been numerous instances of co-operation between the pair
If and until Microsoft decides to deliver Office on new platforms and devices, the "best" way to get Office on more than just your Windows PC or Mac is via Office Web Apps. But is Office Web Apps really good enough?

Basic hotel but it's got everything you need. Very good price/quality.
Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Excellent yoghurt!
Great seaview.
Only a few minutes from the citycenter and the beach; no problem (I'm 65).
Nice hotel, good location, however you have to climb the road, when you come from the beach or take a lot of stairs (87) when you come from the center. The room (111) was very clean and big with nice seaview from the side of the hotel. The bathroom became wet after every shower, but we saw that almost every...
Stayed at the Areti from 14-10/22-10. Room 309 was basic, but very comfortable and with great views of the bay! Breakfast a bit basic too, could be better. The staff Super friendly, and ready to help and assist you in any way. From the moment you arrive you are greeted by two very friendly hostesses, Edite and Carola. These two...
This hotel is fine for what you pay for it. The rooms are clean but a bit noisy (especially when the wind blows hard). the breakfast is ok (even you are quiet done with it after 10 days). There are for sure more cosy and nice places to stay in Agia Galini, but this place is perfect for the budget...
This well situated Hotel with a stunning view over the Lybian sea is an ideal place to stay.

Respond to Review of Napfenyes Restaurant and Pastry Shop - Napfenyes Etterem es Cukraszda
by Gudrun
Review: I spent only one day in the marvelous city of Budapest and I definitely want to come back. There are several reasons for this desire of mine, one of them is this wonderful vegan restaurant. It was very difficult to make a choice for food because there was such a variety! I initially wanted to go for some of the local food but in the end I decided to order a Mediterranean pizza and a Greek salad, both with vegan cheese - 2 of my favorites from my vegetarian past (i.e., before I became a vegan). Both were excellent. There were also lots of great looking pastry and other baked goods, but the portions I already had were so big that I just could not make it to eat some of those. I thought about taking some of this sweet stuff with me, but it was such a hot day outside (40 degrees Celsius!) and I had to travel further, so I did not dare to do this... Everything was perfect, and as it is mentioned in another review, "even the guests are nice". The staff members were friendly and helpful and did not want to take all the tip I gave them (I don't think it was that much, though). No need to repeat all the other good things people wrote about this place, but my vote is - of course- 5 cows!

Preparative Nondenaturing Gel Electrophoresis
For preparative nondenaturing gel electrophoresis, a 3 cm high 7% acrylamide (28 acrylamide:0.735 bis-acrylamide, pH 8.8) resolving gel and a 2 cm high 2% acrylamide (1.6 acrylamide:0.4 bis-acrylamide, pH 6.6) stacking gel were cast in the 28 mm ID gel tube of the Model 491 prep cell. The resolving gel was polymerized in 374 mM Tris (pH 8.8) using 140 g/ml ammonium persulfate and 1.12 l/ml TEMED. The stacking gel was polymerized in 39 mM Tris (pH 6.6), 12.7% sucrose using 0.07% riboflavin-5-phosphate (Bio-Rad) and 0.365 l/ml TEMED. Stacking gel polymerization was achieved by exposure to two 5 W fluorescent lights for 45 min. Both gels were cooled as per the Model 491 prep cell instruction manual during the polymerization process. All acrylamide stock solutions were pretreated with AG 501-X8 mixed bed resin to remove any contaminating acrylic acid to prevent in vitro acylation of proteins during the electrophoresis process. The preparative gel was pre-electrophoresed for 10 min at 15 mA constant power in upper/lower gel electrophoresis buffer containing 28.8 mM Tris, 192 mM glycine (pH 8.4, 4C). The elution buffer reservoir was filled with elution buffer comprised of 28.8 mM Tris, 192 mM glycine, 2 mM DTT, and 0.1 mM NADP+ (pH 8.4, 4C). The entire Model 491 prep cell was cooled to 4C during the electrophoresis process

Step out of the present and into the past. Join Ohio Humanities for the 17th annual tour of Ohio Chautauqua!
An exciting mixture of education and entertainment, Ohio Chautauqua 2015 will explore the transformative journeys taken by a variety of historic figures. Journey Stories will showcase Titanic survivor Edith Russell, 1849er J. Goldsborough Bruff, Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., Indian captive Olive Ann Oatman, and philosopher Henry David Thoreau.
Ohio Chautauqua will travel to four unique communities across the state. The summer schedule begins in Chillicothe (June 16-20), a community that is proud of its rich heritage and history. Then follow the tent to Akron (June 23-27), the home of Chautauqua Institute co-founder Lewis Miller. Our next stop is Clifton (June 30-July 4), a community known for its unique cultural attractions and natural beauty. The tour concludes in Coshocton (July 7-11), a history-minded community whose friendly residents embraced Ohio Chautauqua in 2011 and 2013.
Ohio Chautauqua programs are fun for the entire family! Each evening, music fills the air before a talented scholar assumes the costume and character of a historic figure and presents a compelling living history performance. Families, friends, and neighbors meet under the tent to learn from and talk with famous personalities from our past. During the day, audiences explore different aspects of the theme by attending hands-on workshops for children and special adult programs presented by the scholars in venues throughout the host community.
Ohio Humanities invites you to take a step back in time and come face-to-face with history. Join us as we set off on some amazing Journey Stories this summer!
Ohio Humanities is the state-based partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Through programs and grants, Ohio Humanities helps Ohioans use history, literature, and philosophy to explore the past, inform the present, and envision the future.
