Another great stay
Another great stay you can not fault the black swan from the service the rooms and the great staff all is is excellent
An enjoyable stay apart from room size
We enjoyed our stay at the Black Swan Hotel.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The food was excellent although the portions were rather too large for our palates.
The only downside was the size of our room. Although beautifully decorated it was rather too small for comfort for a weekend stay.

Size of room,Cost of upgrade..........Food that was sent back by customers,Wrong orders.
We booked our standard room online and it was very well presented but a real lack of space to hang up our clothes and nowhere to sit and relax only a couple of upright chairs, as we were staying for three nights and didn't want to spent all evening in the bar we decided to upgrade and although the room was very nice indeed it was quite an expensive option that we hadn't budgeted for.....At breakfast which again was nicely presented we never got exactly what we ordered.
Twice we saw people returning their main courses (Ribs and a Steak)

We stayed having had lunch in the streamside garden in the past and wanted to try a couple of nights.
What a great experience. Very engaged onsite patrons, young and friendly staff. Perfect little ensuite 'standard' room at very good value for money. Really great breakfast with just so much choice. Great beers, wonderful food, lovely atmosphere about the place. Looking forward to a return visit asap. Don't go - you may take our room reservation!

Phyllis Bars
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 20 mins
The story behind the cookie. This is an old family recipe for me, but I have no idea why they were called bars...no one's ever been able to explain that part to me. My aunt, Phyllis, started making them long before I was born. The original recipe called for "Three knives of peanut butter" I've melted it down a couple of times and had about a half a cup, so, there you go. My Mom likes to mix in coconut, but I find that dries them out. Everyone I've ever made them for asks for them over and over, they seem to be addictive. (; Cook time is cooling time.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups sugar
- 1⁄2 cup peanut butter (Crunchy or Creamy)
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 4 teaspoons cocoa
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1⁄2 cups quick-cooking oats
- EXCEPT for the oats, mix all ingredients in medium size sauce pan.
- Slowly kick up the heat (over four minutes) and bring to rapid boil.
- Immidately remove from heat, and stir in oats.
- Let cool till mixture will hold its shape and not drip from the spoon. Spoon on to wax paper.
- Let cool for about 20 minutes or until they've firmed up. (They never survive that long in my house though.).

I was craving some chocolaty, peanut buttery and fudgy all in one. This fit the bill! It isn't as fudgy as pure fudge but it's real close. Thanks for sharing this quick and easy recipe. Yes, it is quite sweet but keeps calling you for more.
Moxie, this is a great recipe for the kids, next time I will get the grandchildren to help, I think they would love it. I really like when you eat then the chocolate melts and you are left with the oats to have a chew on the peanut comes through real strong a very nice cookie and so easy to make. Thanks for posting. Made for PAC Spring 2010.
These are cooling on the table now... and we are happily picking at them. My 4 yo loved helping scoop the cookies onto the parchment paper. I added extra peanut butter cause I love it, used a touch more cocoa, and used rolled oats, as that's all we have in the house. Might cut back a touch on the sugar next time, as these are VERY sweet, but I love that you can actually taste the peanut butter in these. Thanks for sharing!

"The decision to remove the statue came ten days after the release of a scathing report by former FBI director Louis J. Freeh which found that Paterno had conspired with three other top Penn State administrators to conceal allegations of child sexual abuse made against former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. According to the Freeh report, the motive was self-serving: to shield the university and its football program from negative publicity."
Whatever the motivation or cause for Paterno's actions,, they were nevertheless IMMORAL and ILLEGAL and the VICTIMS of his actions were Children.. ACTIONS have consequences and Paterno's are no different..
If EVER there was a PRIME example of that old saying,, " A Lifetime of GOOD works can be cancelled out by ONE heinous deed.." THIS is one of them..
Paterno should be a lesson to ALL of us.. "All that is necessary for EVIL to Flourish is for GOOD men and women to stand by and do nothing.."..
ALL the MORE so if that man or woman takes a willing part in HIDING it from view..
Paterno To Remain in Brown Hall of Fame: Did the University Make the Right Decision?
Sports 2012/09/15 18:57:30
Late Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno's reputation has taken a hit of epic proportions in the last year. The statue honoring him outside of Penn State was removed, as was his spot on a famous on-campus mural. The NCAA also took it upon itself to vacate his wins and college football records. Paterno's alma mater Brown University, however, has opted to take a different route.
The Ivy League university has chose to have Paterno remain in its Hall of Fame, despite damning evidence that linked him to knowing about child molestation going on at Penn State and refusing to take proper action. Brown did remove Paterno's name from awards he won while at the school. He attended Brown from 1946-1949 and was inducted to its Hall of Fame in 1978.
Paterno passed away in January, but not before his legacy became completely tarnished due to the Jerry Sandusky scandal. His family has vehemently denied the accusations brought against him. Brown has received heavy criticism for keeping Paterno in the Hall of Fame, but it was agreed upon by its governing board.

Should he have risked his career over it? Yes, I think so.

I think a lot of folks who easily claim otherwise are lying to themselves, in fact.

Quote for the Day
The idea of memory was very important in Celtic spirituality. There are lovely prayers for different occasions. There are prayers for the hearth, for kindling the fire, and for smooring the hearth. At night, the ashes were smoored over the burning coals, sealing off the air. The next morning the coals would still be alive and burning. There is also a lovely prayer for the hearth keepers that evokes St. Bridget, who was both a pagan Celtic goddess and a Christian saint. In herself, Bridget … [Read more...]

For a while, there have been attempts to create a discussion regarding switching to a presidential system in Turkey.
The system is promoted by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, as well as Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdağç, who attempted to initiate a discussion on the presidential model last week. Bozdağ said, "We need to discuss the presidential system," a statement that Erdoğan's confidant Burhan Kuzu, a constitutional lawyer, seconded. It is interesting that these statements are being made at a time when the parliamentary commission on the constitution has completed the consultation process. The commission has now started the process of writing the constitution. In the aftermath, the prime minister made some constructive remarks on the presidential system; to this end, he said, "During the making of the constitution, the presidential system should also be discussed."
Frankly, I think that Erdoğan's ambition to create a new constitution is greater than his eagerness to introduce a presidential system, and this makes me concerned because even making a new constitution is a challenging task in this state of extreme polarization in Turkey. I see that discussions on the presidential system will undermine the process of making a new constitution. It is obvious that it is pretty dangerous to cause additional polarization over the presidential system, which the people are not well-informed about.
It could be said that there is no single country in the world other than the US where the presidential system has been successful. The system has evolved a unique style over time in the US and has become a complicated political mechanism. Even so, the presidential system attracts a great deal of criticism. It is also known that countries which moved to a presidential system had to deal with serious problems. For instance, in Ecuador the president ordered police units to attack parliament with tear gas.
In the presidential system the legislative branch is separated from the executive branch, and the president is elected by popular vote; however, it is not possible to have control over the president because there is no such mechanism as a "vote of confidence." In case they become unsuccessful or authoritarian, they still remain in power for their office term. The power of the executive branch is attributed to one single person and this ensures rapid use of this power; but this also brings some serious risks. Harmonization is secured in case the president is the candidate of the party that holds a majority in parliament; however, in case of disagreement or conflict between the president and the parliament, the latter may insist on not passing the legislation that the president needs, and this may lead to serious crisis.
The countries that moved to a presidential or semi-presidential system have done so at times of crisis when they needed a strong leader. France did so during the war in Algeria, and Sri Lanka during the war with the Tamils. And their choice actually worked back then.
However, Turkey is experiencing the most stable period in its history. And it is about to make a new constitution. The weak link of the chain in Turkey is not the parliamentary system. The problems in Turkey include local administration reform, the coup-era constitution and legislation that still remains unchanged. For instance, there is a fairly antidemocratic law for political parties. The election threshold still remains at 10 percent. And during the election, the candidates are picked almost exclusively by the party leader. Parties receive funds from the state in the elections; but the distribution of these funds is not fair because the big parties are in fact favored.
There is a flawed belief that presidential system will be a better option to empower local administration, a solution that is favored to address the Kurdish problem in Turkey. However, there are successful models like Japan, which employs a parliamentary and administrative system where the regions and districts are led by elected governors.
The issue could of course be discussed. However, it is not clear whether Erdoğan wants the presidential system for the betterment of the country or for his own ambitions to become president by 2014. In the past, the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) has introduced reforms at times when the status quo has become a real burden. However, despite there being almost no obstacles left, it fails to introduce further reforms, including making a new constitution. And the prime minister's recent statements on the match-rigging bill and the Feb. 28 coup investigation also raise additional concerns.

text: Hello - I'm completely new to this forum. I just picked up a winter project, 1977 R100/7. The only good news so far is I paid very little for it and the ignition switch has a key in it that turns. Short history is that the bike has been sitting 5+ years and most of that outside under a tarp. I got it for a song - but the jury is still out on feasibility. Immediate question is how much rust can be tolerated in the cylinder wall, and can it just be handled with a hone job or is it a must that they be bored and refit with new pistons ?? Currently there is cresent shaped spot on the low side were some water pooled at the outbound end of the cylinder. Also, this machine was dual plugged. Thanks Matt

Sami Awad's vocation is to tear down walls in the Middle East. As executive director of the Holy Land Trust, based in the West Bank town of Bethlehem, Awad works to build bridges between Palestinians and Israelis—and between Christians, Muslims, and Jews—as a necessary path to peace in the region. He was interviewed by Sojourners editor Jim Rice this winter while Awad visited Washington, D.C., to address a gathering of Evangelicals for Middle East Understanding.
Sojourners: What is the role of nonviolence in the liberation struggle and search for peace and security in Palestine and the broader Middle East?
Sami Awad: Nonviolence is the only option that Palestinians should engage in and the only option we have, in terms of resisting occupation. At certain points, I could have seen it as a strategic option, where people look at it and say, is it the right way to engage in or not to engage in? But now, I have come to the conclusion where I see it as the only option that Palestinians should engage in. It's very important for us to realize this and focus all our efforts on nonviolence.
From a strategic point of view, we understand our strength. The strength of the Palestinians is in the people. We don't have weapons. We don't have armies. We don't have training in military warfare. But we do have the power to unite the community, and the struggle for liberation and the struggle to end occupation is something that people can be united around.
What are the foundations for your philosophy of nonviolence? I grew up in a Christian family, which always said that reconciliation and seeking peace is the way we should go. The struggle for me was balancing my upbringing with an occupation that was treating us as Palestinians in a very unjust way. The question "How do you resist this injustice but not engage in violence" was always a challenge for me.
My uncle, Mubarak Awad, established the Palestinian Center for the Study of Nonviolence in the mid-'80s. As a teenager, I started finding myself in that center, where I could really be engaged in standing up and saying no to the occupation and no to injustice, but in ways that also addressed my own faith-based background, which is not to engage in violence toward those who do this to us.
How was the Holy Land Trust born? The first Palestinian uprising broke out in 1987. In 1988, Mubarak was arrested and deported by the Israeli government. His arrest and deportation was a turning point in my life, when I decided that I would commit my life to studying and practicing nonviolence. I began to ask, what was the threat that the other side saw in nonviolence?—especially when the Israeli High Court declared Mubarak, a nonviolence activist, a threat to the national security of Israel. Why would they deport a peace activist, who probably had more Israeli friends than Palestinian friends?
After studying in the U.S., I returned to Palestine in 1996 to continue the work that my uncle was engaged in. That was the time of the Oslo peace process, which people were very optimistic about and hopeful that it would lead to a peace agreement between Palestinians and Israelis. But the peace process was not achieving the peace that both sides wanted to achieve. So in 1998, the idea of the Holy Land Trust emerged, the goal of which was to strengthen the community for the future.
What can we do as Palestinians, living under occupation, that would liberate us from the mindset of being the victims, of blaming everybody for what is happening to us and not taking responsibility? It is up to us to achieve the goals that we want. We should not wait for anybody else to do this—especially we should not wait for the Israelis to come over and say, "We're going to end the occupation and have peace with you." The Israeli government is not going to do that anytime soon. Neither are the U.S. or the Europeans. It has to be born from within. This was the launch of Holy Land Trust, which said: We want the right peace for both sides that also addresses the issues of justice to both communities.
Was the Israeli Supreme Court correct? Is nonviolence a threat to the occupation, to the established order? I think it is, yes. The Israeli establishment is founded on the military being the might of the nation; everything has to do with the military, with control of others. Everything also has to be related to fear and how to implant fear in the community in order to achieve your political goals.
This is where nonviolence becomes very important: Israeli society is born out of fear. We understand the fear that the Jews had in the Holocaust, and even centuries before that. The Israeli government manipulates the fear that exists within the Israeli Jewish community in order to achieve its political agenda. Once this fear is broken—once the Israelis look at Palestinians without fear, as people seeking their basic human rights, seeking to live in freedom, and not as a threat to their own freedom—then that whole structure begins to collapse.
Tell us about your trip to Poland a few years ago. I went to Auschwitz-Birkenau. As a Palestinian, I felt it was very important for me to not just talk about it, but to really see where the Jewish community came from, especially in this century. It was a 10-day retreat for Christians, Muslims, and Jews. I was the only Palestinian. We went there to pray and to see, as close as we can, the experience of the Holocaust. It was a very moving event, probably one of the highlights of my life. We even got permission to sleep in one of the bunkers on a cold November night. It was me, an American, and a Muslim Turk who stayed there overnight, in the "children's bunker," where they kept the children before they sent them to the death chambers.
For me, it was very important just to live this experience, and to see that, yes, there is fear that exists in the Jewish community. This is where nonviolence becomes very important for healing old historic wounds. It cannot be done through violence, and it cannot be done through threatening to engage in violence. Only nonviolence can create an opportunity for the Israeli Jewish community to be healed from the wounds that it faced during the Holocaust.
Because of your commitment to nonviolence, do you find allies in the Israeli community? There are many Israeli organizations that are actively involved in direct action, resisting the occupation through nonviolence—such as the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, Rabbis for Human Rights, and Breaking the Silence, which is an organization of former members of the Israeli army. There are Israelis who say, we will no longer remain silent to the injustice that we're doing to the Palestinians or in the face of what we are being told by the Israeli military regarding Palestinians. There are several Israeli organizations in this regard that are doing incredible work.
What populations do you work with through the Holy Land Trust? We have both Christians and Muslims who work in our office, and we serve the Christian and Muslim communities. I can actually say with pride that we have more Muslims that we are working with on issues of nonviolence than Christians. We have 40 trainers, for example, who work with us in nonviolence training. Out of the 40, 38 of them are Muslims who are fully committed to Islam and also very committed to nonviolence and to promoting and preaching nonviolence in the Palestinian community.
When it comes to nonviolence, it's not just about resisting the occupation, but it's about community building. For example, we bring Christian and Muslim leaders to work together on issues that face the Palestinian community itself that can be related to religious issues. Sometimes you have conflicts that happen between Christian families and Muslim families, which is very normal. We're trying to work with the community so that normal conflicts don't escalate into becoming religious conflicts. This has been very successful in the Bethlehem area, with these leaders working together in resolving conflicts in nonviolent ways to uplift both communities.
Describe the situation for Christians in the Bethlehem area and throughout the West Bank. The estimated number of the entire Christian community in Bethlehem is about 40,000 people. If we look at the whole Palestinian area, the whole Christian population is maybe 65,000 to 70,000, in total. The Christian population is very small. Politically, it's very active and viable. Economically, it's very strong as well. But, due mostly to the occupation and the procedures of the Israeli government toward Palestinians in general, more and more Christians in Palestine are saying that they do not see a future for themselves, they do not see any hope for their families. Many Christians, as well as Muslims, are leaving. Of course, having such a small minority, it affects us much more when a single family leaves.
The occupation has never differentiated between Christian and Muslim, unless it was an opportunity to create friction between Christians and Muslims. This is something that's very important to know: When it comes to land confiscation, Christian land is taken as much as Muslim land. When it comes to destroying homes, Christian homes have been destroyed as well as Muslim homes. Christian activists are being arrested as well as Muslim activists. Violent or nonviolent, they are being arrested by the Israeli government.
The opportunity for creating friction between Christians and Muslims happens, for example, in the issuing of permits. In order for Palestinians, Christians and Muslims alike, to travel from Bethlehem to our holy sites in Jerusalem, we need permits. On Christian feasts such as Christmas or Easter, the Israeli military will issue many permits for Christians to go and to visit the holy sites. On Muslim holidays, they will not issue as many permits as they issue to the Christians. These are the things that begin to create friction between Christians and Muslims in Bethlehem. We try to address this and to show that it's not the intention of Christians to have discrimination against Muslims or vice versa. It is the policy of the Israeli occupation that tries to create this division between the two.
What is the role of the Palestine News Network? We established the Palestine News Network as a press agency, because we felt that there wasn't much news coming out from Palestine to the international community, and also to the Palestinian community itself. You know the famous statement in the press, "If it bleeds, it leads." This is not just in the Western press. It's also in our local press. With PNN we sought to establish a news source that focuses on all the news that happens in Palestine. We don't ignore and neglect, of course, when violence happens. But we also make sure that when nonviolence takes place, or when social programs or community events take place in Palestine, then we make these issues apparent to the global community and to the Palestinian community itself.
PNN, we could say, is another tool of nonviolence. It's a way to show the human face of the Palestinian community and our struggle that we face on a daily basis.
What message do you think North American Christians need to hear about the Middle East and about Palestine? The most important message is that the American Christian community needs to be involved in the Middle East not as pro-Palestinian or anti-Israeli or vice versa. As Christians, we are responsible to engage in issues that protect and promote human rights. When we see injustice, we need to put an end to that injustice. We need to be peacemakers, as the Lord has called us to be. We should not be biased toward one or the other. But it is also our responsibility, as Christians, to be standing with those who are facing difficulties. American Christians should not ignore the incredible potential that they have to achieve peace in the Middle East.
We should not say this is a conflict between Jews and Muslims. We Christians have historic rights; we too have historic claim to the Holy Land where Jesus was born. And we should not just come in and visit as tourists and go back to our homes. We should say, this is our Holy Land as well, and we will work to achieve peace between all communities and to uplift Christ in that area of the world.
Do you have anything to say to Christian Zionists? I would say to the Christian Zionists and the extreme Right that we are taught by our Lord to love our enemy and to have compassion for all those who are suffering. We should not remain silent when we see this happen. This is God's Holy Land; there are Jews, Christians, and Muslims who live there; we are all descendants of Abraham, and we should engage in promoting the Holy Land to be that light of hope to the global community.
Why do you do what you do? This is my calling. I was born in the U.S., so I could have easily decided to stay here in a very comfortable place with a comfortable job. But even when I was studying here, every day I woke up with this deep sense of calling. I really feel this is where God wants me to be: In the Holy Land, to serve the community there, to provide hope in a place where there is so much hopelessness.
I believe peace is possible, and I believe both communities want peace. In their hearts, they really want to achieve a sense of peaceful coexistence and equality between both communities. If I am able to do a small part in this, then I will do that. I truly feel that this is where God wants me to be.
Where do you find hope? When young Palestinian men and women come up to us and say, "We understand that violence is not an option, and we believe that our past engagement in violence did not achieve results, and we want to learn about nonviolence"—this gives me hope.
More and more U.S. Christians are calling us or coming to the Middle East and saying, "We want to know what's going on. We have been blind for so many years. We have wrongfully accused Palestinians of one thing or the other. We want to know the true story." I would say this gives me the greatest amount of hope, especially when they come from the conservative churches in the U.S. to engage in pilgrimage, to engage in the spiritual experience, but at the same time saying, "We want to know what we can do to promote and to engage in peace in the Middle East."
Do you see a movement of nonviolence growing in the Middle East? Yes. I do not want to say that there is a nonviolent movement happening now. But I'm seeing more and more Palestinians, and more in the Palestinian leadership itself—we're talking about the high level of the president and the prime minister—who are saying that our future is in nonviolence. The potential is there, and the grassroots work is being done by Holy Land Trust and many other organizations.
The great majority of Palestinians now understand that nonviolence is the only option for us for the future. Now it's just about having the leadership become committed to engaging in nonviolence.
We might have to sacrifice a lot at this point to engage in nonviolence, including many political positions or economic positions that we have. This is where the challenge comes in. How much are we ready to sacrifice now to have a better future, for freedom in Palestine and peace between Palestine and Israel?

I'd only trade a #2 if it takes a #2, but I certainly wouldn't rush into anything as long as I know I'm the frontrunner. I doubt that I would go any higher than a 2, considering he's been injured, unless the Panthers want Butler.
The ideal thing to do would be to wait to see if he becomes a cap casualty.

Funny. You remixed it. It sounds great though, but why with headphones? Well, hey! Listen to some of my songs if you don't mind. =)
If you listen to it with headphones you can hear things such as instruments better. Plus, I made the song with headphones on and when I switched my headphones out with my speakers, it didn't sound the same. Also, thanks mate.

Article: Epidermolysis bullosa - a group of skin diseases with different causes but commonalities in gene expression[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of hereditary skin disorders. Although each subtype is caused by mutations in genes encoding differentially located components of the skin, the resulting phenotype is similar. In this study, we investigated similarities in the gene expression profiles of each subtype on mRNA level. Type XVI collagen (COL16A1), G0/G1 switch 2 (G0S2), fibronectin (FN1), ribosomal protein S27A (RPS27A) and low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) were shown to exhibit corresponding changes in gene expression in all three EB subtypes. While COL16A1, G0S2 and FN1 are up-regulated, LDLR and RPS27A mRNA levels are decreased. These data indicate that EB cells seem to take measures increasing their mechanical stability. Apoptosis is likely to be exacerbated, and migratory potential appears to be elevated. Protein degradation is hampered, and the release of fatty acids and glycerol is restricted, probably to save energy. These commonalities might benefit existing EB treatment strategies or could help to reveal new starting points for the treatment of EB in the future.
Article: Fluorescence Detection and Depletion of T47D Breast Cancer Cells From Human Mononuclear Cell-Enriched Blood Preparations by Photodynamic Treatment: Basic In Vitro Experiments Towards the Removal of Circulating Tumor Cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A major obstacle for permanent cancer eradication is the persistence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood, which often escape radio- or chemotherapy. Currently no efficient strategy to remove CTCs from peripheral blood in order to lower the risk of metastases or tumor recurrence exists. Photodynamic treatment (PDT) using aminolevulinic acid (ALA) induced protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) as photosensitizer offers an innovative approach to overcome this problem. This study aims at providing basic evidence towards fluorescence detection and photodynamic depletion of scattered cancer cells from blood preparations. The breast cancer cell line T47D, endothelial GP8 cells, red blood cells (RBCs) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNCs) have been tested for ALA-induced formation kinetics of PPIX by flow cytometry and microplate fluorescence analysis. The influence of the presence of RBCs on the PPIX-accumulation in cancer cells was evaluated by flow cytometry; the efficacy of PDT on cancer cells and MNCs has been tested by resazurin assay. Mixtures of T47D and GP8 cells and MNCs spiked with cancer cells were tested to determine the limit of fluorescence detection by flow cytometry and antibody co-staining. T47D cells accumulated significantly higher PPIX-amounts after ALA-incubation than any other cell type tested. The presence of RBCs had no impact on PPIX-formation in T47D cells. Experiments towards the fluorescence detection of cancer cells in blood revealed that the sensitivity of this method is yet limited. Viability testing after PDT showed that cancer cells where almost completely eradicated after illumination whereas MNCs were almost spared. We clearly demonstrate in vitro tumor cell selectivity of PPIX-accumulation over endothelial cells, MNCs and RBCs. Breast cancer cells are efficiently killed by PDT with minor depletion of MNCs. Our findings provide a basis for the PDT of blood samples for a future depletion of CTCs.
Article: TGFβ-signaling in squamous cell carcinoma occurring in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a hereditary skin disorder characterized by mechanical fragility of the skin, resulting in blistering and chronic wounds. The causative mutations lie in the COL7A1 gene. Patients suffering from RDEB have a high risk to develop aggressive, rapidly metastasizing squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). Cutaneous RDEB SCCs develop preferentially in long-term skin wounds or cutaneous scars. Albeit being well differentiated, they show a more aggressive behavior than UV-induced SCCs. These findings suggest other contributing factors in SCC tumorigenesis in RDEB. To analyze factors contributing to RDEB tumorigenesis, we conducted a comprehensive gene expression study comparing a non-malignant RDEB (RDEB-CL) to a RDEB SCC cell line (SCCRDEB4) to achieve an overview on the changes of the gene expression levels in RDEB related skin cancer. We applied cDNA arrays comprising 9738 human expressed sequence tags (EST) with various functions. Selected results were verified by Real-time RT PCR. Large-scale gene expression analysis revealed changes in the expression level of transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) and several genes under the control of TGFβ for RDEB and SCCRDEB4 cell lines. Even untransformed RDEB keratinocytes show elevated levels of TGFβ1. Our findings demonstrate a prominent role of TGFβ-signaling in RDEB-related skin cancer. Once activated, TGFβ signaling either in response to wounding or in order to influence type VII collagen expression levels could facilitate cancer development and progression. Moreover, TGFβ signaling might also represent a potentially useful therapeutic target in this disease.

UPDATE (5:15p ET): Ramona Shelburne of ESPNLosAngeles.com reports that the Clippers are denying they are considering Isiah Thomas for a position with the club.
Shelburne adds: "This feels like story came from Isiah… Can't see why the Clippers would want to pay $10 mill worth of coach next year."
ORIGINAL POST: Jeff Goodman of FoxSports.com reports Friday:
NBA Hall of Famer and current men's basketball coach at Florida International University Isiah Thomas has emerged as one of the candidates to run the Los Angeles Clippers.
According to a source close to the situation, the Clippers have reached out to Thomas — who coached the Indiana Pacers and also the New York Knicks — to take over coaching, general manager and president duties.
He would replace Mike Dunleavy, who was relieved of his coaching duties earlier this week but remains the general manager.
Goodman's report is all the more delightful when you consider that 11 months ago, Dunleavy said on the record that he turned down Thomas' offer to work for the Clippers for free - in any capacity!
Lisa Dillman of the L.A. TIMES:
Thomas is doing what he can to try to get back into the game, and with his daughter set to attend Loyola Marymount, he offered to work for the Clippers without getting paid because he is still receiving money from the Knicks, Dunleavy said.
"Isiah came to us," Dunleavy said in a telephone interview Thursday morning. "I wasn't going to be a jerk and say, 'I can't talk to you.' But there's no position in the organization for him."
While Dunleavy may sound like he's somewhat sympathetic to Thomas, to reveal that Thomas was willing to work for free was clearly a low blow.
Then there's January, 2008, when Dunleavy slammed Thomas for running the Knicks into the ground.
From Brian Lewis of the NEW YORK POST:
Clipper coach Mike Dunleavy, in a wide-ranging rant in which he defended the job he's done against a win-or-else ultimatum from owner Donald Sterling, took a shot at the Knicks' deplorable condition in the Isiah Thomas reign.
Dunleavy said, "I would only make deals to help our future - anything else is suicide. Anything else and you become the New York Knicks. Now if you want to do that and take on big contracts and long-term deals to potentially hit a home run or get some kind of turnaround, that's not the direction I would go as a businessman or if I owned the team.
I listened to an interview with Dunleavy yesterday on ESPN Radio in Los Angeles, and though he didn't say it, Dunleavy clearly was taken off the bench against his will.
As if that isn't a big enough insult to endure, now you have the Thomas report from Goodman, which is the ultimate slap in the face to Dunleavy.
It isn't known if Dunleavy made the call to keep his former assistant Kim Hughes as interim coach of the team for the rest of the season. Perhaps Dunleavy resisting hiring another legitimate coach who might not play his plodding system is what's fueling the Thomas rumor.
From Dunleavy's track record of hammering Thomas in print, I can only imagine what he'll say about the current FIU coach if Thomas doesn't take his job.

A father gives his temporarily wheelchair-bound son the okay to be dragged down a hill by a rope attached to his brother's bicycle and hilarity ensues. Before you get all uppity, the kid ended up being just fine, hence the video being shared. The father, however, is no longer in the running for Father of the Year.

I love this color. It is subtle, yet bring the perfect amount of shade to your lips. The smell is very nice too.
Lovely; just right lip gloss

Love this gloss; none of the scary stuff in the typical lipwear, a sheer lovely color with shine and just a taste of peppermint. Very nice. Also happy that it has a sponge-type applicator, instead of a little brush--the brushes always separate and get messy after a while; the sponges always apply smoothly. Great product!

pleasant taste, but not lasting and very transparent! without colour/
