First down? A review of the Redskins-Giants ref debacle
Shanahan explains first down referee controversy
Let's be clear here—the officiating debacle just after the two-minute warning in the Redskins-Giants game did not cost Washington the game. A whole host of issues that were present after the home team took a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter were responsible for the Redskins' fourth straight loss and their elimination from playoff contention. Primarily, if Fred Davis catches the pass right in his bread basket at around the New York 30 on the play immediately after the chains were moved in error, we're not talking about this at all today.
But the fact that the error didn't factor in the outcome doesn't make what Jeff Triplette and company did—and didn't do—any less egregious. It could have been costly and that's what counts.
And it didn't have to happen. The mistake could have been corrected immediately but Triplette chose not to give the Redskins an "unfair advantage" by stopping the clock.
This from Mike Florio, our corporate cousin from PFT:
So instead of giving a potential unfair advantage to Washington, Triplette gave the home team a clear unfair disadvantage, by leading everyone falsely to believe that a first down had been gained, via the giant orange stakes shuttling down the sideline.
Florio also took issue with Triplette simply saying he could not respond to Mike Shanahan's statement that one member of the crew had told him the play had gained a first down because he didn't know that had happened.
Sorry, Jeff. But that's not nearly good enough. You're the spokesman for the crew in that setting. If you don't know whether one of your colleagues told Shanahan that a first down had been earned, you need to go find out and then continue the interview.
In his Monday Morning Quarterback column, Peter King noted that clock stoppages in the last two minutes are routine for replay reviews. Even if it may give one team or the other an advantage, the overriding concern is to get the call right. And the spot of the ball is reviewable.
My biggest question: In the final two minutes of either half, instant replay can buzz down to correct or adjudicate a spotting of the ball. Why not do so in these types of cases, especially when there's obvious chaos on the field? As for Triplette's saying stopping the clock would have created an unfair advantage for Washington: Does that mean an officiating crew never can call for a measurement when the offensive team is out of timeouts? It's a spurious contention by Triplette; yes, it would have advantaged Washington to stop the clock. But two officials on the crew think it's a first down, and one has motioned the chain crew up the field.
King quoted former NFL official Jim Daopoulos who found the way it was handled puzzling.
"It's a reviewable play, and at the very least it should have been reviewed. But Jeff has the power to stop the clock there. What problem would it have been to stop the clock? What was going on on the field was an error that had to be corrected. I don't understand it."
Again, if Davis catches that pass at around the New York 30, the Redskins are in business with a legitimate chance to send the game into overtime and this whole mess goes unnoticed. But a similar situation could come up in the future when the team with the ball is much closer to a crucial score. The NFL needs to determine how such an error should be handled going forward.

Perplexed about all the rave reviews
2 people found the following review helpful
Posted by saichung on May 16, 2015
I am quite perplexed about all the fantastic reviews about this lotion. They claim stetch marks and cellulites have disappeared. I've just used up the bottle applying every night after shower. My blemishes and stretch marks and cellulites are all still there. Didn't experience any firming either. Yup, I expected too much out of 7$ lotion. If the company's claim and reviews were disregarded, as a simple lotion, it's okay. Faint scent that is slightly citrusy wouldn't bother anyone. Absorbs fast. Not sticky or oily. But only offers very light moisturing. I personally prefer sticky heavy moisturizer. Hence 2 stars for me.

DRACULA blood is family by ChadfullerWatch
©2008-2016 Chadfuller
The second pic in my universal monsters series. right after creature from the black lagoon. this is my 2nd favorite universal monster movie, that and of course frankenstein. so I hope everone likes my companion pic to my creature from the black lagoon. next will be frankenstein!!
Ooh, very nice!
Thought I faved all your monsters already.
tell me u dropped the bkgrnd in or i will kick u in the digital dingus
the background was done in 8 different lays, I wanted the pic to have the animated feel so I knew that one had to have the painted look, so the figure stood out more. So using some nature pics as a guide as well, I went about creating a cold dark environment for Drac to be in. I layed over some real branches and then painted them with two different brushes to get the desired effect I was looking for with some cold dark blues.
Great interpretation.
Creepy goodness! The concept is carried off well! I like the little eyes coming from his darkness, and the trickle of blood at the bottom...! The background is outstanding! In fact this looks almost like an animation cel put over a more realistic-looking background!
Poor Alan and Terry...I hardly knew them!
Poor Alan and Terry...I hardly knew them!
HAhaha Thanks! Thats what I was going for . I did the pic while watching vampire hunter D, a fav movie of mine. so I was inspired by that. that cel look. One brush I made, and the other I found on deviant for the trees. I messed up on the left side by putting the wrong layer on another, but it became a happy mistake. I'm glad you like the Terry and Alan Part.
Awe man!! You trying to tell me something!? Great Pic!
awesome dracula. keep up the great work.

Awesome cleanser, gentle on sensitive skin
4 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2467369 on Mar 13, 2011
Last year, I broke out in what appeared to be rashes. After a biopsy, the dermatologist determined I had extremely sensitive skin and psoriasis. I was advised to stop using any cleaners or lotions except very mild ones without any additives. I have found this to be the most gentle and effective cleanser. It has very little odor which is pleasant and non-irritating for those with sensitivity to smells. It cleans well and leaves a feeling of freshness which lasts all day. Like many products without added chemicals, it is not high lathering, but it works very well. I have used this product for over a year now and have not had any reactions whatsoever. I love it and will keep using it. It is much better and purer than over the counter varieties. I appreciate the company's commitment to making products with wholesome and skin healing properties. And I appreciate iHerb's variety, commitment to quality, and affordable pricing.

I have eczema and have always struggled with my skin becoming parched even before I can get from the shower to the body lotion. No more! This stuff is great! The smell reminds me of yeasted sweet white wine or yeasted cider. It's not a strong or unpleasant smell, it's just different. Lathers nicely. It really removes flaked skin! And my skin isn't as dry as it normally gets. I'm sticking with this forever.

I love Derma E's products and is on the 2nd tube of this body wash. It cleans really well even though there is a peculiar smell to it. I'm fine with the smell as long as the body wash works for me and is gentle on my skin. I do not have flaky skin so I'm not sure if it really "washes" off flakiness.
Great for all skin types!

"Normal" skin gets all the better with use of Psorzema Body Wash. Everyone in our family uses this instead of soap in the shower - teens, adults, guys & gals. The ingredients are superb - especially the inclusion of neem. We haven't any problematic skin issues in our family, but this body wash remains our collective favorite and delivers great skin benefits for all - not solely psoriasis sufferers. It's good stuff!

Soya - Information about Soy and Soya Products
Soy milk powderSoy milk powder is soy milk from which all water has been removed, similar to cow's milk powder. Soy milk powder has a white to beige colour and mixes readily with warm or cold water. It can be made of plain soy milk or can contain additional ingredients, such as sugar, flavours and calcium.
While it is not as common as cow's milk powder, soy milk powder can be found in some stores in the US. In Europe it is even more difficult to find, but can be easily ordered online. Popular brands of soy milk powder, which can be ordered online, are NOW Instant Soy Milk Powder and EcoMIL Instant Soya Drink Powder.
Benefits of soy milk powderSoy milk powder contains all the good ingredients of soy milk. There are different reasons why you would buy soy milk powder instead of pre-packaged soy milk:
- Soy milk powder is more environmental friendly.
- Soy milk powder is easier to store and does not spoil. When you go on holiday and are not sure about the availability of soy milk at your destination, you can carry some soy milk powder with you.
- Usually, soy milk powder is less expensive than pre-packaged soy milk brands.
Disadvantages of soy milk powderThe taste of soy milk made from soy milk powder will always be a bit inferior compared to commercial soy milk in cartons. The texture may be slightly sandy and the taste a bit bran like.
Soy milk powder on holidayiam going on holiday and would to take some dryed soya milk as l have lacto intolerance can you by it and if so were from?

Soy milk powder on holidayIf you Google for "soy milk powder" you will find many places that sell it, for example amazon.com.
Rob - 14 February 2014
Soy milk powderI buy soy milk powder from Now Foods. It is pure soy milk powder, so no added salt, sugars, thickeners or flavours. If you make milk from it, of course the taste is not that good than store-bought soy milk, but that is not a problem beacuse I mainly use it in recipes. And for Marion, it would be ideal to take on holiday.

Soymilk powder commentsSoymilk powder is a rich source of nutrient for kids and adults. I buy soybeans from the market ,fried it grind ,filter and use it to supplement my child food. My child refused to suck breast milk for a day so i used SMA gold milk till he became 4 months. Later i started using peak 123 with soymilk powder. Its been very good with my boy.

So who has had their baby & has started wearing theirs? My little man was born wed 8/12 & I put mine on fri 8/14 & have had it on pretty much ever since. This is my 3rd baby & both my DH & I agree, I have never looked this good at this point with any previous preg BUT I am really starting to hate wearing it...but loving the results. Any other opinions out there.
I'm the type to eiter wear it or not...not do things 1/2 way, so any suggestions/tips on not being annoyed with having it on would be really helpful!

The house is lovely with modern amenities and hosts are very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful 2 night stay with great breakfast. House is a little out of town so very quiet and peaceful. Highly recommended.
We had a simply perfect stay. Millhouse provides a breakfast out of serious and a sympathy that makes us feel at home-
The owners are very nice people who do everything for the stay to be as pleasant as possible.
The rooms are very nice, clean and with good equipment, we can still use a lounge with TV and desk....
Like other guests, we too were wrongly directed by our sat nav system. In the end, we phoned Airlie who was extremely kind and gave very clear directions. Nothing was too much trouble - she offered and booked taxis for us. The room was spacious with a good shower. The breakfast - oh, the breakfast. It was freshly cooked to...
Because of postal code problem, we were directed to another place. But no panic, phoned to Airlie. She appeared in a couple of minutes and lead us to her warm, homely and lovely place. Spacious room featured an ensuite washing-room with 5-starred toiletries. The "jet-shower" can refresh you thouroughly after golfing. The breakfast is really good.
Quiet, secluded, warm, friendly and well appointed.
I enjoyed a wonderful two day stay with Airlie and Jake, they have a great way about them which makes you feel instantly at home away from home.
The breakfast would put many hotels to shame and the majority of the produce is VERY local. If you don't believe me just see how...
Had a very pleasant 2 night stay at Millhouse B&B recently and really could not fault anything. Airlie (and Jake) were very welcoming and helpul on our arrival and indeed throughout our stay. There is a treasure chest of local (and up to date) information in the room folders that has been thoughtfully compiled, although Airlie also has the patience...
The location is great really close to St Andrews town centre so was only £7 in a taxi, the B&B is beautiful and the rooms fantastic. The breakfast was AMAZING and the service was also fantastic. Would definitely recommend and will be back!
Have visited the area a few times and had to stay overnight. Millhouse is by far the best place I have stayed. Lovely and quiet, very comfortable large bedroom, en suite with very good shower, friendly owners and fab breakfast. Also books and games to borrow and excellent living room for guests. Will definitely book again.
Overnight stop. Was welcomed by the host despite arriving quite late. Rooms very clean and tidy with sat tv and radio.
Excellent living room with Sky TV and superb full Scottish breakfast.
Around 3 mins from St Andrews centre. Not that easy to find from the road so ask for directions.
Highly recommended!
I stayed with a fried at Millhouse and I found it to be the perfect getaway. It was located not too far from St Andrews and surrounded by beautiful farmland.
The premises were clean and well furnshed, with the rooms very comfortable and catered to every possible need. The hallway, dining room and bathrooms were lovely too.

The APA identifies 25 individuals who significantly influenced the practice of planning before APA was established. The list begins with Hippodamus (5th century), who introduced order and regularity into the planning of cities, and ends with Paul Davidoff (1930-1984), who founded the Suburban Action Institute which challenged exclusionary zoning in the courts, winning a notable success in the Mt. Laurel case.

Hi everyone!!
My name is Marlene and I am expecting my first child ever!! My husband and I couldn't be happier. I am new at this forum thing but I do need as much information as I can get so any comments or information will be helpfull.
I am working out and staying in shape for my pregnancy, and I was planning on doing the color run in tampa FL in early December. Many people have asked me if it's safe, and I keep saying yes however the truth is I don't know. Does anyone have any information about this? It looks super fun and I would be really sad to miss it, but not as sad if I know s for my baby's safety.
Thanks everyone!!

The dark ruby/purple-colored, sweet, dense, beautifully fruited 2000 Pinot Noir Russian River (1,400 cases) is more charming and consumer-friendly than most of this estate's Pinots. Although not long-lived, for drinking over the next 4-5 years, it is top-flight.Drink Dates: 2007+
Professional content appears courtesy of Vinfolio
Good medium ruby. Wild nose dominated by roast coffee and meat. Then rich and spicy in the mouth, with dark fruit flavors complicated by a meaty quality. The brettanomyces element here is not especially aggressive yet robs the wine of some of its primary fruit and verve. Still, this finishes supple, sweet and persistent.Author: Stephen Tanzer
Professional content appears courtesy of Vinfolio
Spicy and minty, with hints of barnyard and leather woven in with tea and plum; a touch of beefy stemminess on the finish suggests short-term cellaring. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 1,389 cases made.Drink Dates: 2002-2006

Respond to Review of Ignaz
by vegan_ryan
Review: Went here recently for a brunch on a Saturday morning. With brunch + coffee with soy milk, I paid 12,50€ which isn't too bad for all-you-can-eat brunch at a vegetarian restaurant. Less than half of the prepared items on the brunch buffet were vegan, and they're not labeled - I had to ask the waiter. However, he knew which ones were vegan without having to ask the kitchen, so that was good. Also, 90% of the breads on the buffet were vegan, plus lots of fresh fruits. Overall, there was far more than I could eat, and the food was quite good. It wasn't the best brunch I've ever had, but it was good, and I'd go back again.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Loving Hut NYC
by TheVeganOfAus
Review: This Loving Hut is different from most others I've seen since it does not have a predominately Asian influenced menu. The menu is limited but the food is great. A particular rice dish - not sure of it's name anymore - stands out in my memory. It's a tight little spot and very busy around lunch so think more "take out" at that time. But outside busy times it is comfy enough for a little meal.

Today, a lot of businesses share a common goal when buying electricity: Attain budget certainty while gaining the ability to take advantage of market opportunities.
Locking in a fixed price guards against market volatility and provides budget certainty, but that same contracted price may result in paying a higher rate if market prices fall. While blended solutions provide certainty and flexibility, they require time and resources for manual management.
With the Minimize Volatile Pricing (MVPe) Program from Constellation, businesses have an automated alternative for energy management. MVPe systematically removes market and timing risk through a mathematical algorithm that buys more energy when prices are historically lower and less at historic highs.
With MVPe, business customers can:
Constellation provides historical price information to help MVPe customers decide when to purchase electricity and how much to buy. MVPe customers are also provided with detailed assessments of electricity buying options and associated costs and continuous energy policy and market updates.

'Catching Fire' To Film Capitol Party Scene at the Swan House in Atlanta
On Location Vacations has posted that The Swan House will be used to film the Capitol party of the Victory Tour. This is also a first look at what President Snows mansion looks like!
Thanks to one of our tipsters we've now learned the Swan House will be used for a party scene for The Capitol on Sept 26, 27, 28. They also told us the shoot will include some custom-made costumes for the party goers, including a suit made out of bricks.
This would go along and confirming that casting call we saw a days ago looking for trained dancer that can dance the waltz.
According to the Swan House website the historic mansion will be closed from September 17 – 28. So they are currently filming or setting up in there as today is Sept. 19.
Check out this video house tour!
Thanks to The Hob for the tip!

Painterly Abstraction, 1949-1969: Selections from the Guggenheim CollectionsJune 14, 2011–January 8, 2012
Based mainly around works in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao collections, this exhibition explores the most important trends in European and American art in the 1950s and 1960s, revealing the surprising affinities in art on both continents. In Europe, the CoBrA group, Tachisme, and Art Informel rejected traditional forms of composition in favor of more gestural painting, while other European artists explored a number of approaches they considered more scientific, objective, and interactive in nature. In the United States, the Abstract Expressionists were also interested in the process of making art and had an overwhelming fascination with the unconscious mind and emotional states. With the appearance of Abstract Expressionism, Color Field painting, and Pop art, New York became the new center for the international avant-garde. Included in the exhibition are works by major artists such as Karel Appel, Alberto Burri, Willem de Kooning, Ellsworth Kelly, Yves Klein, Piero Manzoni, Jackson Pollock, and Antoni Tàpies, among others.

Thread: Dreams
Hi all
Does anybody dream about their lost loved ones? How does it make you feel?
Sometimes It feels nice that I have seen my Dad in a dream, but others I feel lost all day
I started a thread about the after life and it was because of the dreams i have had about my nan. My nan died nearly 14 years ago and i have had 2 dreams about her. The thing is, they werent like normal dreams they seemed so real. When i woke up i felt like i had really hugged her and it was a great feeling xxxx
Hi Sally
Can you give me the link to your thread? I would really like to see it.
I suffer quite bad with dreams/night terrors, my Dad died December 2010, we know he had Cancer 5 months beforehand, sometimes I would dream that he was already dead but still here. Other times after he died I would dream about the cancer, about him being on oxygen, I knew in my dreams that he was dead but somehow he had come back to life.
Sometimes I have nice dreams though, that he is still here and I don't want to wake up xx

Hi Sarah-Nicole, thank you for posting and I hope it's alright for me to post a link to Sally's thread here in case other netmums want to read it, Sally you certainly generated a really interesting discussion...
Dreams are one way of the brain processing what happens in life and inevitably a loss is going to take up its fair share of that whilst we sleep.
I have just come across this little resume of a paper given at a Cruse conference on dreams in the grieving process which you might find interesting and hopefully reassuring...
There's a really moving quote from a poem there too...
Where you used to be
there is a hole in the world,
Which I find myself walking around in the daytime,
and falling into at night
But as you both mention, more often those dreams can be a huge comfort, a way of feeling much closer to someone we have loved
Hi my dad died 19 january this year and ive had a few dreams about him i dont see him in them though i can only hear him and it really scares me i wake up and cant sleep

Computers might be able to take over some of what a doctor does, but they sure can't do this.
Last week, Reddit user mcharb13 posted a photo of a handwritten note from a doctor that he said has changed his life. It's a condolence note that was sent to his father by an emergency room physician at New York Presbyterian Hospital who had treated his mother, he told the Huffington Post. His mother had breast cancer and died several hours after being taken to the ER.
In the note, the doctor explains that this is the first such note she's written in 20 years of ER work (the name of the doctor was omitted from the photo, but Redditors seemed to think it was a female, based on the handwriting.)
"Our encounters are typically hurried and do not always allow for more personal interaction," she wrote. "However, in your case, I felt a special connection to your wife, who was so engaging and cheerful in spite of her illness and trouble breathing."
The note struck a chord with at least 2.1 million people and prompted more than 1,300 of them to leave comments. Many of the comments have come from people who have also lost parents, and many have come from physicians as well.
One said:
They don't train us how to deal with the human element of our job very well. Most react by developing a deep callus over their hearts. Some of us are down-right evil in how jaded we've become. I'm sure other healthcare workers can testify. So, it is a true testament to your parents relationship for this to pierce beneath that callus. Whatever they were doing, apparently, they were doing it right. It sounds like you have a couple of great parents. Copy them.
Another wrote:
I pray to God that when I make it as a trauma surgeon, I do not become desensitized to the sometimes inevitable loss of life of my fellow man or woman, nor desensitized to the joy of saving or helping to improve the quality of life of my patients.
It's a reminder that, even in the digital age, bedside manner and compassion go a long way.

Bottles of wine and alcohol were high in demand and eagerly fought for. Julie ended up with the best gift, a bottle of wine and jars of David's homemade jams and jellies. Eugene received the "worst gift", a re-gifted chip dish. However, ironically the worst gift was brought in by Eugene, himself! Julie and Eugene won office gifts, a brand new iPad2 and Kindle Touch. The party was a big hit and we'll definitely continue the tradition next year. It was a perfect way to end a fantastic year. We're looking forward to 2012 and the exciting events that lie ahead for FirstRain. Happy Holidays!

Research Summary
Keiko Torii uses Arabidopsis stomatal development as a model to study how plant cells coordinate proliferation and differentiation during organ morphogenesis to generate beautiful, orderly patterns.
Development and regeneration of multicellular organisms relies on cell-cell interactions that specify cell fate. Within the context of developmental programs, individual cells receive and interpret "positional cues" and undergo proliferation and differentiation in an orderly manner. Because of the presence of cell walls, plants achieve tissue and organ morphogenesis in the absence of cell migration.
After cell division, two daughter cells will be stuck with each other (they cannot migrate away from their sisters and neighbors). Thus, plant cells face unique problems and challenges during pattern formation: how can they make fate decisions and coordinate differentiation within the context of multicellularity? I address such fundamental questions through integrated and cross-disciplinary approaches that include plant developmental genetics, systems biology, biomaterials science, and live imaging.
Coordinating Morphogenesis with Peptide Signals and Receptor Kinases
Recently, peptide signaling has emerged as a key mechanism for cell-cell communication in plants as well as in interkingdom communications between plants and microbes. Consistently, functional genomics has revealed that plants possess a large number of genes encoding small, secreted peptides, many of which form multigene families. I am interested in understanding how the same set of receptors correctly interprets closely related signals to control diverse developmental processes. For this purpose, I focus on the signaling systems mediated by ERECTA-family receptor kinases (RKs), a family of three receptors regulating multiple aspects of plant development and biotic responses.
I identified ERECTA as a leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase in the 1990s. Later, my group found that three ERECTA-family RKs—ERECTA, ERECTA-LIKE1 (ERL1), and ERL2—show synergistic interactions in regulating aboveground organ morphogenesis, including inflorescence architecture, flower patterning, and ovule and anther differentiation, through promoting cell proliferation and coordinating the timing of cell-type differentiation. To unravel how plant cells process related information coming from their neighbors and elicit specific developmental responses, we will analyze peptide ligands acting in a subset of ERECTA-family-mediated pathways.
ERECTA plays a major role for proper inflorescence growth, which involves coordinated development of several different tissues with unique functions, such as vasculature (xylem and phloem), cortex, and epidermis. How do different tissue layers consisting of unique cell types coordinate growth? We are using both classic and novel techniques in developmental biology to address this question.
Coordinating Tissue Patterning and Differentiation in Plant Epidermis
Stomata are microscopic valves on the surface of land plants for efficient gas exchange and water vapor release. Despite differences in the developmental origin of stomatal complexes across species, stomata are formed such that each stoma is surrounded by nonstomatal epidermal cells. Such coordinated spacing of stomata is critical for proper stomatal function and hence plant growth and survival, as stomatal opening and closure require rapid water and ion exchange between guard cells and neighboring nonstomatal cells. It has been proposed that stomatal precursors emit signals that inhibit neighboring cells from adopting stomatal cell fate. We have discovered ligands and receptors controlling this inhibition.
First, we found that the three ERECTA-family RKs act synergistically to enforce stomatal patterning. In the absence of all family members, plants produce massive clusters of stomata. Fine dissection of each genetic locus revealed that ERECTA restricts asymmetric divisions that create the stomatal cell lineage, while ERL1 inhibits the cell-state switch from stomatal stem cell state to differentiation state. ERECTA-family RKs act both cooperatively and antagonistically with TOO MANY MOUTHS (TMM), a receptor-like protein lacking any cytoplasmic effector domain, which appears to contribute to robust and precise signaling outputs.
Second, through expression studies, my group and colleagues discovered a family of small secretory peptides, EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTORS (EPFs), that are expressed in distinct steps within stomatal precursors and inhibit the asymmetric entry divisions that create stomatal cell lineages, as well as the asymmetric spacing divisions required for proper stomatal patterning. We aim to unravel the specificity and kinetics of ligand-receptor interactions, receptor dynamics, and early events in signal transduction. For this purpose, we are developing a novel receptor ectodomain biosensor platform and taking phosphoproteomic approaches. We plan to combine imaging tools and techniques to visualize the dynamics of ligand-receptor signaling.
Maintaining and Differentiating Stem Cells in the Stomatal Lineage
Intercellular signals mediated by the above-mentioned peptide signals and receptors instruct cells to be or not to be stomata, perhaps acting on the key transcriptional networks driving stomatal differentiation. We identified a set of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors that act in a sequential and combinatorial manner to specify a series of cell-state transitions leading to stomatal differentiation. SPEECHLESS and MUTE are sister bHLH proteins specifying the initiation and termination, respectively, of the stomatal precursor, called a meristemoid, which is capable of reiterating asymmetric divisions while renewing itself. These bHLH proteins are both necessary and sufficient for cell-state specification, thus acting as "master regulatory" proteins of stomata. We also found heterodimeric partners of these bHLH proteins, SCREAM (SCRM) and SCRM2, which trigger initiation, proliferation, and differentiation of stomatal cell lineages in a dosage-dependent manner. SCRM is identical to ICE1, a key upstream transcription factor for cold-induced transcription and freezing tolerance. Thus, SCRM/ICE1 may define a molecular intersection of developmental and environmental signaling pathways.
Self-renewing ability via reiterative asymmetric divisions is the key characteristic of stem cells, and understanding its molecular basis is of central importance in developmental biology and regenerative medicine. We are taking advantage of our mutant resources and the molecular markers developed in my laboratory to perform genome-wide approaches to identify molecular signatures associated with the meristemoid (stomatal stem cell) state. A pivotal element of this approach is the synthetic combination of loss of function in MUTE and gain of function in SCRM, which results in a striking epidermis solely composed of meristemoids and their sisters. Through a simple comparison of transcriptomes, we were able to identify components of asymmetric cell division.
The transition from stomatal stem cell (meristemoid) to differentiation state occurs in the absence of cell division. I aim to further unravel the molecular events of genome reprogramming from the proliferation to differentiation states of stomatal precursor cells, a transition triggered by the activity of MUTE. These studies will provide knowledge of stem cell function and differentiation.
Visualizing Dynamic Cell-Cell Interactions Leading to Pattern Formation
Understanding the mechanism that creates asymmetry among a population of seemingly uniform, undifferentiated cells may provide critical insights into pattern formation, tissue differentiation, and regeneration. To understand the in vivo, spatiotemporal dynamics of cell-cell communication that patterns stomata, we are developing a real-time imaging system to visualize the regulatory dynamics and lateral inhibition during the entire process of stomatal differentiation. The flat surface of developing cotyledons provides excellent accessibility for high-resolution real-time imaging with relatively simple experimental setups. Our system enables us to visualize the whole process of epidermal differentiation (from germinating embryos to fully differentiated seedlings) under confocal laser scanning microscopy while monitoring in vivo expression dynamics of fluorescent protein-tagged stomatal regulatory proteins.
Visualizing expression of known regulators of stomatal patterning in the wild-type background has already provided insight into the dynamics of cell-cell interaction leading to stomatal differentiation. We are expanding our system with optical techniques (e.g., gene induction, laser ablation) and peptide applications to visualize the in situ, real-time response of plant epidermis when regulatory circuits are manipulated.
Stomatal patterning is influenced by various environmental cues, such as temperature, light, drought, and CO2 concentration. Understanding how these environmental signals impinge on stomatal differentiation will bring fundamental insights into plant growth and survival in a changing environment. I plan to expand my imaging system to include environmental perturbations and directly monitor spatiotemporal dynamics of cell-cell signals and cell-fate determinants under different environmental regimes. For example, I could mimic past and predicted world temperature and CO2 levels to test the potential robustness of the stomatal system. This interdisciplinary approach would foster the translation of my fundamental research of plant development into guidance for conservation decisions in the field.

'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time' actor Jake Gyllenhaal thinks ostriches are scarier than wolves.
Jake Gyllenhaal thinks ostriches are scarier than wolves.
The 29-year-old actor - who had to take part in a number of stunts while shooting 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time' - was happy getting involved in the action, but didn't want to go near the large birds.
He told USA Today newspaper: "The scariest scene is when Alfred Molina kisses an ostrich. They are terrifying animals. Anything with a brain the size of a pea and claws that can tear your face apart is really scary.
"I've worked with wolves in movies on 'The Day After Tomorrow', and on this set they treated ostriches like wolves. They literally told us they've been known to rip off people's faces. So when Fred kisses the ostrich, to me that performance is braver than Robert De Niro in Raging Bull."
However, Jake added that the prospect of some stunts in the movie were enough to scare even professional stuntmen.
He said: "There's a jump I do where there's like a 20-foot gap between two buildings and a pretty significant drop, like 35 feet, which terrified even the stunt guys."
