Human Research Cloning, Embryos, and Embryo-Like Artifacts
Hyun, Insoo, Jung, Kyu Won, The Hastings Center Report
Undeterred by the Korean stem cell scandal, several prominent scientific teams in the United States, Sweden, and the United Kingdom have recently announced plans to pursue their own human research cloning protocols. (1) Their immediate aim will be to generate patient-derived pluripotent stem cells to study the progression of complex, chronic diseases, such as type I diabetes and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Human research cloning involves a technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer in which a patient-specific diploid human cell is fused with an enucleated mature egg to develop a blastocyst-stage embryo that is genetically identical to the patient cell donor. Eventually, researchers hope to differentiate patient-derived stem cells in culture to develop new drug therapies and to facilitate the possibility of treating disease and injury at the cellular level without the threat of autoimmune rejection. To achieve these goals, stem cell scientists will attempt to match or improve upon the Hwang team's efficiency rate for producing cloned human blastocysts. (2)
Notwithstanding the practical and ethical difficulties surrounding human egg procurement, most critics of embryonic stem cell research maintain that human research cloning should not be pursued because it is in principle wrong. Most opponents of embryonic stem cell research believe it is unethical to destroy early ex vivo human blastocysts regardless of whether they are created by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) or in vitro fertilization (IVF), since they believe both of these methods generate nascent human life. Some go further to argue that human research cloning carries an added moral burden because it would involve the deliberate creation (and subsequent destruction) of burgeoning human life solely for biomedical research, and because it would enliven the dreaded possibility of human reproductive cloning. We argue that each of these concerns may be scientifically and philosophically unwarranted.
Human blastocysts created by SCNT are, by definition, not derived from the union of sperm and egg. This is a fundamental and widely acknowledged biological difference between SCNT blastocysts and IVF blastocysts. Yet out of this commonplace distinction emerge important new scientific and ethical implications that have gone previously unaccounted for in the public debate over embryonic stem cell research. Drawing on recent discoveries in primate SCNT, we advance the radical claim that human research cloning--thought by many to lie at the bottom of the slippery slope of stem cell science--may turn out to be one of the least morally problematic sources for deriving human pluripotent stem cells. Given the intractable nature of the public debate over embryonic stem cell research, the President's Council on Bioethics has explored the feasibility of deriving new human pluripotent stem cell lines through alternative means that do not involve the destruction of live, viable human embryos. (3) But in light of recent scientific developments, research cloning may itself provide an "alternative source."
The Search for Alternative Sources
The principal issue in the public debate over embryonic stem cell research is whether it is morally acceptable to use and destroy early ex vivo human embryos as a resource for scientific inquiry. (4) Most who oppose embryonic stem cell research do so because they believe either that all corporeal and ex-corporeal human blastocysts acquire full moral standing during the fertilization process, or that their moral status comes from their potential for complete human life.
While most opponents of embryonic stem cell research can appreciate the humanitarian purpose of this scientific endeavor, they are unlikely to concede their deeply held ethical convictions regarding the destruction of human embryos. This is because people's convictions on this matter are often inexorably tied to their particular world views and perhaps even their own personal sense of identity. …

New point guard target emerges
LOUISVILLE - Point guard is a priority for Purdue in its 2015 class and a new target has emerged.
Justin Robinson, a 6-foot-1 guard from Saint James School in Maryland and the Boo Williams Nike summer program, has been watched closely by Boilermaker coaches the past two weeks, first at the Peach Jam in North Augusta, S.C., then this week at AAU Nationals in Louisville.
A scholarship offer might be forthcoming for the Rivals.com three-star prospect.
"Once my transcripts go through, I think they might offer me," Robinson said. "Then we'll go from there."
A Purdue offer would join a long list that also includes, according to Robinson, Maryland, Virginia Tech, Creighton, Illinois, Providence, Memphis, UNLV, George Washington and several others.
Purdue's been involved with Robinson since the spring when an injury - he broke a bone in his ankle - disrupted the beginning of his final year on the AAU circuit.
Robinson said he'd be open to any new offers that come his way, though he does plan to narrow his focus in the near term.
"There's schools that have maybe prioritized me, but my recruitment's wide open right now," Robinson said. "I'm just going to sit down with my high school coaches and Coach Boo (Williams) and talk about what might be the best fit for me, then cut my list down to maybe eight to 10 and make a decision after that.
"I'm still getting calls every day, but honestly, I think it's time to sit down and cut the list down at the end of the month, then probably go on my officials and call it a day."
Robinson's decision will probably come down to his official visits, he said. Should Purdue offer Robinson, its next step would be to try to secure one of those visits.
"It'll just be the schools recruiting me most and who I've had the most contact with," Robinson said of choosing his visits. "Then when I go on my officials, I'll just look for a school that has a great education, a family environment on and off the court and coaches that know what it takes to get to the next level."
To this point, Robinson's gotten calls and text messages from Purdue associate head coach Jack Owens and seen Boilermaker coaches around his games this month.
"All these schools sound good," Robinson said after Boo Williams beat All-Iowa Attack Friday night in Freedom Hall, "but their coaches sound great already. It might be a good fit."
For more on Robinson and his game, see the video interview attached above.

Otterpond London Broil
15 minutes
2lb Flank Steak or Top Round Steak
1/2c http://www.grouprecipes.com/108278/beggers-marinade.html
1 tbsp freshly grated ginger root
1 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp http://www.grouprecipes.com/10152/dry-rub-for-barbeque.html
How to make it
Put the cleaned and trimmed steak in a zip lock bag, pour the marinade mixed with the ginger into the bag. Press all the air out and seal the bag. Let this marinade in the refrigerator for at least six hours but no more than 24 hours. Turn the beef occasionally to allow even exposure to the marinade.
Remove beef from marinade and pat dry with a paper towel before cooking to prevent steaming and encourage browning. Discard the marinade that was in the bag with the uncooked meat. NEVER save and reuse a marinade. If you're planning to use the liquid later for basting or to serve it as a sauce, reserve a portion of it for later before adding uncooked beef.
Lightly coat all surfaces of the steak with olive oil. Dust all surfaces with the dry rub -- don't be stingy. Let the steak rest while you heat up your griddle, grill, broiler or pan.
I don't have an outdoor grill but I do have a Cuisinart Griddler which is what I use to grill this steak. After the cooker is at a good heat, give it a generous spray of PAM to prevent sticking and make for a quick cleanup.
Cook your steak for about 5 minutes on high heat. Sear the outside well and leave a nice pink center. London Broil is best eaten medium rare.

Jammer's Review
Battlestar Galactica
"Sine Qua Non"
Air date: 5/30/2008
Written by Michael Taylor
Directed by Rod Hardy
Review by Jamahl Epsicokhan
The reason Battlestar's fourth season has worked so well thus far is because there's a larger purpose driving it — an unapologetic, fully committed serialized format that assumes you watch every week. In past seasons, the show occasionally tried to deliver somewhat more stand-alone stories (and one could argue that led to some of the series' weaker outings, like "Black Market," "Hero," "The Passage," or "A Day in the Life"), but with the series' end date etched in stone, all pretense for increased audience accessibility has been jettisoned, and the show has committed to telling the stories that advance its larger purpose.
Now, having said that, it's worth noting that although the larger overarching story is driving this series, there's still plenty of room for episodes that more prominently feature certain characters and themes over others. For example, "The Road Less Traveled" emphasized military protocol, "Faith" emphasized religion, "Guess What's Coming to Dinner?" emphasized the characters' roles in a cosmic mythology, and now "Sine Qua Non's" emphasis is government and leadership.
This episode takes the fallout from "Dinner" and turns the focus primarily into a story about the operations of the Colonial government in the absence of President Roslin, and how it functions alongside the military (which is to say, dysfunctionally). Completely absent are any scenes that feature Roslin or the other characters on board the Cylon basestar that jumped away; their fate is a mystery left for next week. I admire the strategy of this season, which is that being away from some characters' stories simply means spending more time on the equally compelling affairs of others — in this case, for the entire episode. (There's been a sense of unrelenting momentum this season, where the story moves along and the writers ask us to fill in the blanks of what was off-screen and implied. I'm of the opinion that the approach has worked.)
Renegade Six is rushed to sickbay where she dies on the operating table — an ominous sign for any hopes of the tenuous alliance that had existed. Meanwhile, there's chaos aboard Colonial One, where the Quorum tries to separate facts from rumors about Roslin's disappearance; the frenzy has real-world disaster recognizability as a situation where emotion awaits further news and in the meantime feeds upon itself.
Also made clear in the early scenes is the sense that business must and will go on, both in the government and on Galactica. Adama and Tigh start planning contingencies (with almost too much calm) for what to do if indeed all those Vipers are now gone. And if Roslin is missing and perhaps dead, the government must continue to function, and Vice President Tom Zarek intends to step up and do the job — that is until it's made clear (and this happens very quickly) that Admiral Adama has absolutely no intention of recognizing a Zarek Administration.
Zarek is frankly pissed that he may have to step aside simply because Adama doesn't trust him. But he has no choice. Lee has an apt military phrase for the situation: "Facts on the ground." The civilian government cannot function without Adama's approval, and Adama does not approve of Tom Zarek. Period. It makes you wonder where this fleet would be if Roslin and Adama were not able to coexist as a (usually) unified front.
So Lee convinces Zarek to step aside while Lee chairs a search committee to replace him. I'm honestly not sure whether this is prudent or patently absurd. The president is gone, the government is about to grind to a halt, Adama is rejecting the legitimate administration — and Lee turns to the sort of deliberate bureaucracy that typifies a real government, as opposed to the contrived one that actually exists. Hey, I don't have a better idea, and Lee's plan seems about as level-headed as any. But given how dire the situation is, it just seems so ... calm. Calm to the point of madness.
Lee recruits a reluctant Romo Lampkin (Mark Sheppard, reprising his popular character from last season) to aid in the search. Lampkin sees the case as a high-risk, low-reward endeavor that won't get him much of anything in return. What did he get in return for defending Baltar, you ask? He got a "room with a view"; his quarters feature a hilariously tiny 6-by-6-inch window, apparently much coveted. He also gets plenty of headaches from people who hate him for getting Baltar acquitted.
The question becomes, who exudes all the qualities of a real leader and will be acceptable to the Quorum and to Admiral Adama? Lee and Romo spend a good deal of time debating the merits of leadership (with Romo offering up little tidbits of wisdom like the fact that those who show no apparent ambition actually have more of it than anyone else; it's just hidden from view), while crossing names of a dry-erase board. The details of this process are enjoyable, but at the same time there's a certain telegraphed inevitability to it. When Romo starts writing down names that will work rather than crossing off those that won't, he only comes up with one name, and it's not a groundbreaking shock when the camera reveals that it's — gasp — Lee Adama! I will admit that it is, however, an interesting wrinkle to the larger plot. It's also proof that BSG is not afraid of moving the plot ahead at lightning speed; Lee is sworn in as president before the episode ends.
But I'm not quite sure what to make of the scene where Lampkin reveals this epiphany to Lee. He points a gun at Lee and seems prepared to pull the trigger, which is so downright unexpected and played for suspense value that I'm inclined to say it simply comes out of left field. Lee has some good speechmaking in this scene, but I couldn't help but be distracted by how forced it felt for Lampkin to suddenly become so unhinged. What causes this? We learn that his enemies killed his cat weeks ago, and apparently that's his final straw. But, wait — we had seen the cat jumping around in earlier scenes. Oh, that was just subjective-POV, Romo-imagined narrative trickery. Personally, I don't think this story needed Romo's cat playing Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense.
It also feels forced because Romo has always been the coolest of all customers — a dry and cynical con man who knows human nature better than anybody. Watching him melt down here doesn't play to the strengths of the character or the actor; it seems at odds with Lampkin's persona, and I didn't quite buy it. It's too much platitude and not enough truthful characterization.
Significantly more truthful characterization takes place in the Adama/Tigh stories aboard Galactica. There are some great scenes here. Take, for example, the one where Adama calls Sharon in to answer for killing Renegade Six. He wants an explanation. She supplies one. To call it insufficient is an understatement. Adama is pissed — and I mean pissed — over Sharon's reckless act. You can always count on an angry Adama being worth some meaty drama, and it doesn't disappoint here. Sharon has essentially destroyed her relationship with Adama — and her standing on the ship — because of fears inspired by her visions, and it lands her back in the brig.
Meanwhile, this episode finally turns back to the relationship between Tigh and Caprica Six. A lot has transpired off-screen since "Escape Velocity"; you can see in their body language that their relationship has greatly evolved. She calls him "Saul." Their relationship is obviously complicated, with a dose of both codependence and distrust, and Tigh still sees Ellen when he looks at her. I love how this scene invites us to fill in blanks and imagine how things between them have changed gradually over time; there's an economy to the narrative that makes it seem like so much more has happened than we've actually witnessed.
The real heart of the story, though, is Adama's. Roslin is missing, and Adama is determined to find her. When the president's Raptor is discovered along with a dead pilot, and Galactica investigates and subsequently finds a destroyed Cylon basestar, there's every reason to believe the president and Galactica's Viper detachment are dead. But Adama can't accept it. He goes into personal-feelings-indulged mode, very much like the search for Kara in first season's "You Can't Go Home Again." He begins to lose objectivity. He sends resources out on fruitless missions. He delays preparations for getting the fleet under way. At one point, even Lampkin makes a point about it: "I always imagined you a realist, admiral, not one to indulge a vain hope at the cost of lives. But then, everyone has his limits."
Then there's the revelation that Caprica Six is pregnant by Tigh's doing. I didn't see that one coming. Let's completely set aside for now the whole issue of this potentially being the first fully Cylon child; the Adama/Tigh scene where this is revealed is terrific. Once again, a pissed Adama is an endlessly watchable Adama, and the result is a dramatically charged stand-off that gets you pumped up for the intensity of the drama even while it makes you wince about seeing these two old friends cursing and finally coming to blows with each other. I especially recoiled when Adama brought Ellen's name into it; if only he knew what Tigh literally sees in Six. The brawl gives way to the perfect bit of levity after Adama's model ship is destroyed: "You know how many times I've had to repair this thing?"
Slowly but surely, this story becomes the tale of these two old guys and their situations involving women: Quite simply, what are they gonna do? For Adama, the situation grows in poignancy as we realize, if we hadn't always realized, that he loves Roslin. And amid his loss of objectivity over trying to deal with this fact, he realizes he must turn command of Galactica over to Tigh, with orders to continue the search for Earth. Adama intends to wait alone in a Raptor for Roslin to make an improbable rendezvous.
The Adama/Tigh friendship, with all its history, is so poignant that you dread the day when the other shoe drops and Adama finds out he's a Cylon. At this point, this question is more about Adama than about Tigh. It isn't even an issue in the story's mind that Tigh, a secret Cylon, is given command of the fleet. Tigh is simply Tigh, working through his many issues, and that's all there is to it. He intends to carry out Adama's orders.
"Why are you doing this?" Lee asks Adama. "Because I can't live without her," Adama responds. Boom — the emotional truth of the episode right there. And Adama waits, by himself, in empty space, alone. Hope springs eternal. When it comes to Laura Roslin, Adama can't afford to be objective. Sine qua non: Without which there is nothing.
Footnote: The number 47 once again shows up in the dialog here, in reference to names being crossed off a list. The whole insertion-of-47-into-scripts phenomenon, dating back to TNG, has persisted throughout BSG's run. Rumor has it Joe Menosky was the one responsible for encouraging this behavior. I felt compelled to ask Menosky about it, and he confirmed his complicity in this conspiracy, and pointed me to this page and this page to demonstrate the uncanny significance of 47.

Methinks your reviews are one my own Sine Qua Nons.
I understand this view, but I couldn't disagree more. To me, this fully realizes the character of Romo in a way that his cool guy sunglasses swagger image never could. It's revealed that Romo abandoned his family in the attacks to save his own life. Since then, the bravado, the swagger, it's all been an illusion. He's trying not to care, he defends Gaius Baltar of all people... why? Is he defending Baltar for his selfish actions or is he defending his own? That cat was the last link he had to his family, so when it was killed he lost it. I became disgusted with the idea of hope because for him there isn't any. Lee represents that and that is why he forced him at gun point to prove that he won't be a false hope, because one more let down is something Romo could not allow.
The tidbit about how he left his family and such was interesting, but it didn't feel like an organic growth of the dialog. It felt more like a writer trying to fit it in for the sake of the information, rather than because it actually fits. Handled differently, this could have been a better plot thread.
Still, as you've said before: a bad ep in the BSG universe is still a pretty damn good one in relation most others.
Plus - huge thanks Jammer for the great reviews. You rock. Don't go a-changin'!
That's how I interpreted it anyway.
However, that's not the whole story, as Lee so eloquently stated in Baltar's trial, that many in the fleet want to flush their own guilt and shame at surrendering to the Cylons by flushing Baltar out an airlock and justice is not entirely served by either Baltar's guilt or acquittal: it's a messy situation, the kind BSG revels in.
Romo felt guilty about abandoning his family on Caprica, to save himself, and doesn't feel he has much to live for, that humanity isn't worth saving. Killing Lee would be killing hope in a sense, and Romo's own cynicism would make it hard to believe Lee did not have another motive. Lee's commitment to make a difference, despite his own and his culture's past failings, re-affirms hope and the best part of human nature: Romo wants to live, but you need something to live for, a future you can live with. This is one of the best moments for me in the series.
That's how I interpreted it anyway."
I agree completely. The cat was alive right before he left the room. It's much more in character for Romo to use that gun toting test to make sure Lee would run the "gang" well. I'm only up to this episode so I don't know how everything turns out or if we even see Romo again, but I never, for one second, doubted that Romo wasn't using his emotional manipulation.
Maybe I am giving the writers more credit than they deserve, in which case the scene was stupid. Very good episode, but "dinner" was far better.
Six being pregnant and Tigh and Adama coming to blows seemed way too soap-operaish and over-the-top. It's such a cliché, and I can't imagine two real friends ever acting like that.
So, Adama comes down hard on Athena. Funny, because some other people's "visions," which he seemed to accept without any argument, were just as preposterous and costly as Athena's.
I have two major complaints about this episode--
(1) Giving so much airtime to Lampkin. Who is that guy? He came out of nowhere, stuck around for the two episodes depicting Baltar's trial, and then vanished. Why was he resurrected now, other than the fact that he is dark and weird (which, I guess, is in line with B.S.G's overall direction as of late: Weird and surreal).
(2) Now Junior bags the presidency!? And that's supposed to be a choice preferable to keeping Zarek, who DID--in a way--actually get elected? Even Roslin, who tried to steal an election, actually garnered some votes; no-one EVER cast a SINGLE vote for Adama Jr. nor is there any legal basis for his acceding to the office. My problem is that Adama Sr. is perfectly fine with that!! Not only that but then he goes on to personally anoint his successor! (I'm surprised he didn't pick Starbuck instead of Tigh.) He's been hitting Kool Aid a bit too much, I reckon. Forget losing respect and deference for him, the guy's a total asshole. The Fleet is obviously little more than a military junta. It reminds me of present-day Bahrain: A totalitarian monarchy with meaningless elections for limp institutions to give the head honcho's regime a semblance of democracy.
The delicious irony though: Now a cylon is in charge of the Colonial military :D
En passant, I noticed the Six in the slammer being perfectly dolled up with impeccable makeup. I guess prisons ain't what they to be!!
His stepping down was long overdue at this point; he'd become a tyrant, indulging the will of the people when it suited him, and ignoring it otherwise. The worst part is, the same can be said of Roslin. I never especially liked her, but, in the past, I at least respected her for keeping faith in the civilian government and fighting to maintain its integrity. Those days are long gone. Zarek's comments about her and the Admiral ruling by fiat are spot on.
All that aside this was a decent episode. Good but certainly not great, much like all of season 4 up to this point.
I also had the notion, given the calm, "then swear it," that Lampkin said after Lee's speech, that Lampkin was playing him. Both testing him and shaping him--finding out if he would be the right leader and then pushing him into accepting it if he was.
But his emotions seemed genuine, too. In the end I decided that perhaps it was both. I do think that his cat was killed, I do think that he was still talking to its memory. And I do think that he was coming unglued. And I think that he was suspicious of Lee and felt manipulated. As soon as their quest started, everyone in the room I was in said, "Well there's really only one person this can be." It was concluded from the start. Lampkin saw that. And I think he felt used. He felt that he was led, by Lee (consciously or not), down a path where he had no choice but to legitimize Lee's ultimate grab for power and his hidden ambitions. I don't think that Lee has secret unconscious ambitions. But Lampkin did. And I think he was pissed.
If he did crack, it was along those lines. And I think he did. But I also think that at the same time, that cynical, analytical observer of human beings was sitting in the back of his mind and watching it happen. And that part said, "Is what I fear true? Let's find out."
Then once Lee did assuage his fears and calm him down, that analytical part stepped forward to control the situation and push it towards what he wanted.
I think many of the commenters here are overthinking Lampkin. For me, it was easy to take what was shown at face value. A man who has been hurt a lot, finally pushed over the edge by his cat being killed.
And was it really killed by others? Or did he just then kill it to trick Lee? Well, Lee says "this cat's been dead for weeks", so I think that pretty much kills any conspiracy theory you guys have about Lampkin murdering his own cat in order to manipulate Lee.
Unless... Suppose Lampkin had TWO cats? And that was merely the DECOY cat? Maybe he intentionlly killed the decoy cat weeks before, just in case he needed a stinking cat carcass in the future? (Because well, you never know!) Maybe, being a student of human nature, he anticipated what would happen, and got a dead cat out of the freezer just before Lee was to take office.
Or maybe it's not even a real cat at all. Maybe it's a cylon cat!
You see what I mean about the conspiracy theories? Just how far down this rabbit hole does a person want to go?
But seriously, why not Cylon animals? Surely it is easier to replicate a dog or a cat than a fully functional humanoid.
Oh, and I liked Lampkin's pistol with 4 barrels. Nice :)
And to disagree with another commenter who thought BSG is too soap operatish... I think it works for me because of the setting and the plot. What's great about the basis of the show is that human civilization is near extinct and yet there is a small remnant and semblances of civilization, a gang in Lee's words. This makes it relatable to me as the viewer because of the similarities with human society, and yet I don't feel it's a soap opera because of the sci-fi and more importantly, the end of civilization as we know it setting. The stakes are so high, and the characters have been stressed for so long, that it would be more surprising if things are not out of proportion with normal life.
Lampkin: Maybe just another manipulation. Maybe all the cool cynicism just a cover for twisted guilt. Most likely a combo of both. The greatest cynics were once idealists, for if you cannot understand the subjective, you cannot never move beyond it to the objective.
Saul: Looks like the Final Five are very different than the other Cylons.
Roslin and Adama's low-key affection on New Caprica (the most heart warming of the romances by far back then) has become way more active and prominent in Season 4, and it has had me thinking for several episodes now. Overwhelmingly, the love relationships in this series have been destructive, or plain rotten to the core. Caprica Six uses Baltar to lower humankind's defences. Boomer was a cylon agent and mislead Helo as part of a breeding experiment. Tigh and Ellen have resentment and infidelity. Lee and Starbuck both leave a trail of ill-advised and failed relationships. Tyrol resents settling for Cally and disrespects her even after she has died. And then by comparison we have William Adama and Laura Roslin. From the point he started visiting her in hospital and reading to her, it seemed conspicuous to me that they are developing a purer form of love which is more selfless and self-sacrificial than the others have enjoyed. Now Adama has given up his career for her and is sitting and waiting in the cold depths of space for her to reappear, and I am feeling more and more assured in this theory! I'm also aware than Roslin is still ill and is going to need another miracle some time in the near future in order to keep surviving. Maybe this pure love is the key? The fantasy element of BSG is ever-increasing at this point and to try and guess the rules of this universe before they happen is pretty foolish! I just hope there is some explanation regarding the projections we see all the time, if it turns out they have always just been an abstract storytelling device I'm going to be disappointed!
So, I don't think the civilian govt. can order Adama around. It's not clear he *has* to take Zarek's calls. He's ignoring Zarek, which may be perfectly within his powers under the Articles of Colonization(?).
But, I do agree, he's ordering the civilian fleet to support his military operations....
The problem is, they're at war; the civilian govt. needs the cooperation of the military to gain legitimacy. When Galactica jumps away unexpectedly, the Quorum almost has a cow.... they're scared to death of being abandoned by the military.
Adama has no interest in dealing with the civilian govt., particularly under Zarek. He wishes Lee would keep them off his back.
Adama and Tigh. Priceless, particularly Tigh's look when Adama points how much Tigh has changed....
What I still think is out of character is Tigh keeping it a secret. Adama is his oldest friend, who's always tried to support Tigh and he's his commanding officer. With Tigh's fears of pulling a Boomer, I think Tigh would tell all -- that's what the old Saul Tigh would do. Particularly if Tigh doesn't want command: "But Bill, you can't put me in charge -- I'm a Cylon....."
1. Early in the episode, Lee trips over the cat's upturned food bowl and gripes, "Don't you ever feed that thing?"
2. In a later scene, Lampkin's drops the pet carrier hard, as the camera focuses on it. The force of the drop is enough to make any pet owner cringe. In hindsight it seems that the cat's already been dead for some time.
3. When Lee beholds the cat's body, he remarks that it's been dead for weeks. Apparently it's already in an advanced state of decomposition.
I think the whole picture shows that Lampkin, though an artful manipulator, isn't fully in possession of all his marbles. In keeping with the theme of the episode, perhaps the dead cat is a literal reminder of Lampkin's memories of his family, memories that have with time rotted away into guilt. It is that guilt he forces Lee to look upon in the climactic scene.

Kate Upton And Her Hot Sister!
September 10th, 2013
If you ever looked at Kate Upton, correctly realized that she was way out of your league, and then wondered if maybe she had a less famous but almost as hot sister, you're in luck. Because here's pictures of Kate and Christie Upton after watching men's tennis at the US Open, proving that hotness does run in the family. Obviously Christie wasn't quite as genetically blessed as her sister, but still, I definitely wouldn't mind playing hide the sausage with those two. What, did you expect me to say playing doubles? Because that would be way less fun. I'm terrible at tennis.

Good pair

some companies make thin ones that wear out fast, so you have to be careful when you pick yours out. I don't remember what brand my are, but I've had them for a long time. The stitching recently wore out and I used my leather kit to repair them. Now they are working just fine.

I originally bought a pair of cheap leathers and what a mistake that was! It was low grade leather and wore out fairly quickly. The leathers I have now are wider and a better quality of leather. I've had them for a few years now and they still look pretty good.
Pros: Long lasting
Cons: Good leathers are pricier than cheap leathers

IBM InterConnect Hot Topic: Enabling business growth with Enterprise Systems
Delaney Turner 270003RQ8K email@example.com | | Tags:  ibmsoftware ibminterconnect interconnect
0 Comments | 2,627 Visits
Guest post by Kelsey Howarth, IBM Systems and Technology Group
Enterprises that are embracing Smarter Computing are unlocking the value of data to leverage insight and information to gain competitive advantage. They are redefining their customer experience to expand and capture new markets and drive top-line business growth. And they are changing how they manage information and business processes to shift investment from maintaining IT infrastructure to pursuing new projects.
As they strive to support these business initiatives,IT leaders and CIOs are radically rethinking the role of enterprise systems in their IT infrastructure strategy.
This conversation about enterprise systems will be front and center at the upcoming IBM InterConnect event. As such, we caught up with Lisa Johnston, Vice President of Marketing for Smarter Computing with IBM Systems & Technology Group for insight into why this has become such a hot topic in IT.
What defines enterprise systems?
"Every company and organization relies on critical data. Enterprise systems are systems that are capable of managing critical financial data, customer data and resource data across multiple lines of business. These systems must simply provide the highest levels of service, world-class scalability and unwavering availability.
Enterprise systems enable a private cloud infrastructure at enterprise scale, with flexible service delivery models that provide dynamic efficiency for resource and workload management. They make sure critical data is always available across the enterprise, making it accessible in new ways so that actionable insights can be derived from advanced and operational analytics. They also provide the ultimate in security, ensuring the integrity of critical data, while mitigating risk and providing assured compliance."
Why has this become such a hot topic?
"While enterprise systems are not new, the way companies are using them today has changed. IT leaders are refocusing on the servers, storage and software at the center of their enterprise IT infrastructure. They know that these systems hold the enterprise-wide critical data that fuels both their core business processes and the new services that are helping them deliver the experiences their customers demand.A quick look at the stats IT is facing provides some insight into today's challenges. With 60% of CIOs planning to use cloud, up from 33% two years ago, CIOs are looking to benefit from the economics of private clouds and apply those savings to new services.
CIOs are also focused on how they can use enterprise systems for more advanced analytics on operational data. That is very significant since companies that implement analytics are nearly 3 times more likely to be top performers in their industry.
And, of course, security is a growing challenge for CIOs as they extend new digital services to their clients. According to a recent Data Breach Investigations Report 94% of all data compromised involved servers. In addition, according to Computer Weekly, the cost of data loss has increased by 68% over the past 5 years. Better security is a must."
What can we expect at InterConnect?
"InterConnect presents a great opportunity to discuss all the elements of enterprise systems solutions – servers, storage, software, services – in one place. Attendees can visit the Expo and explore the latest in enterprise-class systems from IBM, including the zEnterprise servers, Power Systems offerings, Smarter Storage solutions and PureSystems expert integrated systems.They can listen in as Rod Adkins, Senior Vice President, IBM Systems & Technology Group, delivers his keynote entitled 'Unleashing innovation: the new economics of IT.' They can also attend targeted sessions with Colin Parris, General Manager of Power Systems, Doug Balog, General Manager of System z and IBM customers to hear more about how enterprise systems are delivering the utmost qualities of service, highest scale, and superior efficiency for critical information and business processes."
For more information or to join this event — live or virtually, please visit the IBM InterConnect 2012 destination. You can also follow the conversations and information in various social channels, including Facebook and Twitter (also follow and use the event hashtag: #IBMInterConnect) — among others. Stay tuned and learn how IBM is 'turning opportunities into outcomes' for organizations around the world!

Pritzker, who ranks #255 in 2012 on the Forbes 400 list of wealthiest Americans was reportedly in the hunt for that job back in 2008. But she withdrew her name apparently because of toxic subprime loans involving a failed bank partially owned by her family. There were also concerns that her $1.8 billion net worth included offshore accounts.
Her re-emergence as a contender, first reported by the Chicago Sun-Times, would indicate the White House doesn't feel those matters would affect her confirmation chances this time. (After all, at least 47 percent of the electorate didn't hold offshore accounts against Mitt Romney.)
Pritzker, who bundled a minimum of $500,000 for Obama this election, was the 2008 Obama campaign's national finance chair and national co-chairman of the 2012 campaign.
Pritzker would be the third woman secretary of the department, which includes a hodgepodge of a dozen agencies, from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration to the Census Bureau to the Patent and Trademark Office.
Commerce, often seen as a prime target for elimination, also may be a curiously unlucky job. Former secretary Malcolm Baldridge died in a rodeo accident in 1987 when his horse in a calf-roping competition fell on him.
Nine years later, Commerce Secretary Ron Brown was on an official trade mission when his plane crashed in Croatia. And last June, Secretary John Bryson resigned after suffering a seizure and getting into two hit-and-run crashes while driving in California.

text: This is an adventure that I highly recommend you take when in Costa Rica. The staff here was AMAZING. They are all pretty young kids but they know what they are doing and you feel very safe. The waterfall at the end was so fun. We were allowed an hour to swim and jump off the cliffs and swing on the ropes to our hearts delight. We saw some monkeys and beautiful birds. The price was very reasonable and I suggest getting the DVD that they add at the end for an extra $20 US dollars. Everyone that is on the tour will be on the DVD but that is OK as you get to watch yourself taking a trip down the lines and then jumping off the waterfalls or playing in the water. What a great adventure!!!!

And it appears the break-up was less than amicable for the Shake It Up star - after another devotee attempted to comfort her by writing, "One day you'll find your Prince Charming", she simply responded, "or honesty".

Two Ways Of Filing Bankruptcy
You'll find two techniques a person can develop into a bankrupt. The primary and much more frequent means is to possess a to go insolvent files. The next, and way that is rarely applied, is for lenders to request the Courtroom to create a Purchase that a person is broke. In both these scenarios a Trustee must dispense the bankruptcy. (see Filing Bankruptcy)
the 2 primary varieties of bankruptcies available to folks take care of various debt circumstances in different ways. The conventional Page 7 debtor has substantial debts and few belongings mainly associated with other dischargeable debts, shop purchases, clinic payments as well as bank cards. Collectors are compensated, if, from anything that the person currently possesses that CAn't be claimed exempt. Debts that are certain aren't dischargeable in a Page 7 proceeding but are dischargeable in a Part 13. Dischargeable means that by filing for bankruptcy you'll not need to pay your debt if the judge awards the launch.
Typical Bankruptcy Filings
the normal Page 13 person records as the consumer is in debts with hire, mortgage payments, car loan or additional guaranteed debt, since the person has significant debts which cannot be cleared in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, or since the debtor has some belongings which he/she really wants to retain but CAn't be stated as exempt. Another motive to report a Phase 13 will be to protect another person who might be liable for your obligations, such as for instance a co-signer spouse or. Out of the debtoris future profits, creditors are paid in Part 13 plus a strategy should be suggested to pay for these lenders. So that you can be eligible for a Page 13 bankruptcy the person must be someone with income that is typical. This normal money might consist of public gains , profits, rents, salaries, social protection alimony pensions or other forms of income-which may be believed.
Several state courts, including those in Illinois, have ruled that IRA accounts are protected from creditors in a bankruptcy. But bankruptcy mentor Charles Tabb at Illinois Faculty of Legislation in Champaign's University notes that resources in a Roth IRA might not be guarded. Since you can find no limitations on drawback of efforts a Roth IRA doesn't have most of the traits of the original IRA. So that's nevertheless an available matter.
Determining which sort of bankruptcy to record, and what is secured are but a number of the problems that happen throughout a bankruptcy.
Instructions for Filing Bankruptcy
Your bankruptcy petition must add a comprehensive set of your current resources of income and frequent costs because they will undoubtedly be once you have submitted your request. This really is extremely important. In the event the judge given for your case decides that your budget shows that one may settle creditors successfully, the judge might ignore your case. In a Phase 13 bankruptcy, the amount that you will have to pay creditors regular is situated upon the budget you offer towards the courtroom.

In recession, people check their spending to save money for the other day. This has a direct impact on business organizations. Organizations find it difficult to maintain their growth and existing market share. All effort is directed towards minimizing the damage that recession can cause to business.
Brand building is possible even during an economic slowdown if an organization knows how to go about it. A new product line that offers value for money can work much better than imposing a cut in marketing spends. Businesses need to innovate to get valued by consumers as the brand which they cannot afford to compromise.
1. Emphasize on product value
Consumers are attracted to value for money products that give quality at affordable costs. Highlight the product features which could present it as an alternative worthy of the consumer's money. When it comes to product quality, consumers are willing to pay a premium for an established brand because of the trust factor…

Found this website that lists several creative recipes to utilize any extra breastmilk you may have on hand.. I over produce and have run out of storage space in my freezer so I have been sadly pouring my excess breast milk down the drain. Since, in my rural area, breastmilk donation really isn't a feasible option I think that I might try some of these recipes when and if I get a little extra time...:)
I really want to try to make some breast milk soap... I have already made breastmilk butter just for craps and giggles but if dairy prices continue to rise, we may be using that instead..LOL.
This website has the soap recipe that I want to try.
