Hartford — Residential and business consumers might see an increase in rates if the state's energy-generation tax doesn't expire, a Dominion official warned Thursday.
"The real loser at the end of the day ... is not the power companies, it is ultimately consumers, residential and business consumers, they are going to bear these costs," said Kevin Hennessy, director of government affairs for New England for Dominion.
On Thursday, state Sen. Andrea Stillman, D-Waterford, Rep. Betsy Ritter, D-Waterford, and a dozen other legislators said they wanted the state to keep its promise and let the two-year energy-generation tax expire. Some said they disagreed with Gov. Dannel P. Malloy when he said extending the tax would not be a tax increase.
"I consider it a new tax because it is meant to expire, and in my estimation means we would have to reauthorize it," Stillman said.
In 2011, the governor asked energy-generation companies, such as nuclear, coal, oil or natural gas companies, to share in the state's responsibility to close the $3.5 billion budget deficit. The tax was supposed to bring in $72 million annually for two years by taxing nearly all electricity producers at the same rate.
"I know for a fact that Dominion did not pass this tax along," Stillman said. "They did participate in the shared sacrifice that the governor asked for to the tune of $42 million a year."
The largest portion of the new tax was paid for by Dominion because of its operations at Millstone Power Station, Ritter said.
Dominion chose to pay the tax instead of raise rates because the tax was set to expire, she said. But even requiring the company and others like it to pay the tax still has a negative effect on the local community.
For example, because the company now has a higher tax liability, the company's property tax assessment is lower, Ritter said. The company's value on the town's grand list goes down and the property tax burden falls back on residential property owners, she said.
Besides residential property taxes increasing, the energy-generation tax also prevents job stability, she said.
Nelson Griebel, chief executive officer of MetroHartford Alliance, agreed and said the state needs to generate private sector confidence to increase capital investment and retain and grow jobs.
"Critical to that confidence is the ability of we, as a state, to control our spending, honor the constitutional spending cap and to ensure that we have a predictable tax structure," Griebel said.
The sunset of this utility generation tax is critical, he said. It sends a strong signal to the private sector that this state means what it says, Griebel said.
No other state has a tax similar to this one, Stillman said.
Connecticut already pays the highest rates in the continental United States, Hennessy said.
"It was crystal clear today that if this tax gets extended, that that's a broken promise," he said.

Sheboygan Times, The (Newspaper) - July 23, 1898, Sheboygan, Wisconsin Sheboygan Times Published Every Saturday THE TIMES PUBLISHING CO., JULY 23, XLV, NO. PORTO RICO. Second and Third Wisconsin Sail from Charleston, BADGERS ON THE WAY Bnclced and Delayed the Load- ins of the Third Transport of the Fleet. Charleston, S. C., July and Illinois troops are in the advance guard of the expedition to Porto Rico, being the first of the army of liberation to leave American shores. They left this port at 7 o'clock last evening, sped oa by patriotic music and the cheers of practi- cally the entire population of Charleston. The Wisconsin troops were on the high seas last night and their Illinois brethren are to follow. Three ship loads of troops constitute this initial expedition. On the transport Grand Duchess is the Second Wisconsin regiment, on transport No. 30 the Third Wisconsin nnd on transport No. 21 two companies of the Sixth Illinois aud the entire Sixteenth Pennsylvania. The first two vessels put to sea at once, while No. 21 is still loading. Maj.-Gen. J. H. Wilson in command. His troops, together with the rest of the Sixth Illinois and tho Sixth Massachu- setts, which sailed from here last week for Santiago, comprise the First brigade of the First division of the First army corps. Transport No. 21, apportioned to the in- vaders from Illinois and Pennsylvania, waa the Ward liner Mobile and is the larg- est ship of her kind that has ever sone out of an Atlantic port south of Norfolk. In addition to 1400 men she carries 1000 head of stock, the wagon train of the di- vision and a vast quantity of supplies. One important announcement, gained from authoritative sources before the de- parture of the transports, is that the ex- pedition will sail directly for Porto Rico. This disposes of the report that the in- vaders sent from the United States would be concentrated at some point in the invasion took place. It gives color, on the other hand, to the report that Gen. Miles will precede this expedition to Porto Rico and select its landing place. For hours before the departure of the troops cnnyds lined the shore in a dense mass for three miles. When the ships drew away and the bands ashore and afloat played national airs the thousands of spectators cheered like mad. It had been hot in the city, but late in the after- noon a sudden thunder shower came up. The rain was of brief duration, and as the ships made the stream a perfect rain- bow broke over the entrance to the har- bor, just as was the case when the Rita took her expedition to Santiago, ten days ago. For two days and nights the work of loading baggage and provisions on the transports has been going forward under rush orders. All the stevedores in the city were employed at it. They were as- sisted by details of men from the various .regiments and the 500 negro laborers em- ployed here by the government and des- tined" for work on the roads and bridges in Cuba. As a result yesterday's depart- ure found nothing lacking in the way of supplies. Transport No. 21 carried, in addition to tho troops, 1000 head of mules an-] the Tvasron- train. The men were embarked easily' enough, but the mules were frac- tious and the No. 21 was delayed. Camp Cuba Libre, Jacksonville, Fla., July hundred men were detailed from the regiment this for rilie practice and 150 for the construction, of a drainage system about the division camp. Every precaution is being taken to improve the sanitary con- dition. Col. Bryan's regiment is expected to ar- rive here this afternoon. It will be as- signed to Gen. Hubbard's division at Pan- ama park. Two sections of Tampa troops passed through this morning en route to Fernandina, from which point they will leave for Porto Rico. Jacksonville, Fla., July some unaccountable reason tiie North Carolina boys encamped here are determined to do some ngutmg, even tnougn it is not at the front. One member of this regiment forced the lines of the First Wisconsin yesterday and, u fter a few impertinent re- marks to one of the men, started in to emphasize his speech with his fists. The Wisconsin niaii accepted the invitation, and botli were soon engaged in dead earn- est. Men from both regiments joined their respective comrades, and clubs and other weapons were brought in to help out matters. The North Carolina sentry guards reached over with rifles and were soon met by Wisconsin guards with their guns, and had it not been for the Second Virginia boys charging in between the now intensely angry soldiers some one would have undoubtedly been seriously wounded or killed. The feeling between the North Carolina and Second Illinois regiments, over the shooting of was very bitter, and last night the same feeling existed between the North Carolina and Wisconsin men. The latter regiment occupies a position be- tween the Illinois and Wisconsin troops, making the situation unpleasant in the ex- treme. New York, July daylight three of the fleet of United States transports which have been fitted out at this port put to sea, and upon clearing Sandy Hook took southerly courses. The Gla- cier was the first to leave. She was fol- lowed by the Roumanian, now known as No. 52, and the Michigan, known as No. 20. The Massachusetts, which is being loaded, will leave later in the day. The auxiliary cruiser St. Louis, which now carries five 55-inch rifles, is sched- uled to leave the American line pier for the south at: 5 p. m. today. She has 4000 tons of coal, ammunition aud a big stock of provisions on board.____ LOST IN THE WOODS. Heine Hanson Wundern the Wooda Nenr Aahlsmd and Doca Not Return. Ashland, Wis., July Han- son, an old man years of age, left Monday afternoon with his wife to pick berries in the vicinity of the fair grounds. He and hla wife became separated, and she returned home about supper time, thinking that her husband had returned also. He did not return and a posse started out to make a search. They have scoured the woods since Monday evening, but no trace of him can be found. It is thought that he has been overcome by the intense heat, and died. Fully 100.people are searching today in the vicinity of where he was last seen. The fire' alarm was turned in yesterday afternoon to start out another cosse. FEAR A FATALITY. An Upturned Sailboat Sighted Near Marinette. Marinefte, Wis., July The Sidney O. Neff, a steamer, when about about a mile from Green isle last evening, sighted a sailboat upturned and badly wrecked by the storm's fury. It was a red boat about twenty feet over all, and the query as to whom does it belong, was it occupied at the time of the storm, and are unfortunate occupants now lying beneath the green waters of the bay. A boat answering its description was seen occupied by several persons the fore- noon of the day of the storm by Oukwood parties. There is little doubt that the waters of the bay may disclose who the unfortunate occupants were ere Ions. IMMENSE LUMBER DEAL. Sale of Standing Timber at Ashland in Many Ashland, Wis., July The largest sale of standing. timber -re- corded here for many months was closed today.

SCKIBES OUT FOE FUN. Wisconsin Press Association Passes Through Waukesha on Its Way to the Coast. Wankesha, Wis., July Editors from various points in the state began to congregate here yesterday morn- ing and by night there were two passen- ger coaches of them. They were joined here by three coaches of Michigan scribes aud all left on a special train early this morning en route for British Columbia and the Pacific coast.

OK, let's get this party started.
I'm in a Q & A mood, so here are some questions I think you might have.
Yo, Lou. I see that David Madore took a little swipe at the media the other day. Your thoughts?
Yes. And it was covered in our political blog on our website.
A little background first.
Madore, who is a very successful local businessman, is also the no-tolls-on-the-bridge guy.
So if you're in favor of a new bridge, you're probably not in love with Madore. Put County Commissioner Steve Stuart in that camp.
With a reporter present, Stuart blurts out that Madore is a "crackpot."
We reported it on our political blog.
Stuart quickly apologizes, and Madore — who, I happen to believe, is a truly nice guy — accepts it.
But then Madore goes on to say:
"The press will make news of our worst moments."
Now I'm not suggesting the media doesn't cover worst moments. Clearly when someone screws up, we report it. But to suggest we're somehow wrong in doing so is to suggest we shouldn't be covering the conflicts that make up our world, our everyday life.
Madore's statement also suggests that worst moments are all the media covers. And that's just silly.
Our newspaper — like most newspapers — has plenty of good news. I'm beginning to suspect that readers simply don't remember the good news we report.
Next question.
Before we get off the subject of Mr. Madore, wasn't he the guy who posted that "gavel down" video on YouTube?
Insightful observation. Madore did indeed push Vancouver City Councilwoman Jeanne Harris' ballistic moment into viral status. As many of you recall, Harris came unglued at a city council meeting and kept insisting a citizen who was speaking should be gaveled down.
And (here comes the money line) Madore did the exact same thing he is accusing us of doing:
Making news out of someone's worst moment.
Let's be clear. I think Madore's posting of that video was the right thing to do.
But it's a little unbecoming to take a shot at the media for covering a worst moment when he's doing the exact same thing. (I think I already said this but it was worth repeating.)
Madore, who one day hopes to be a media mogul, should remember that old saying.
What is it? Something about glass houses?
Next question.
Any quick observations about Mayor Tim Leavitt's State of the City speech?
Putting aside its content, let's discuss how it came across.
Last year, his speech — the first one he delivered — was borderline brutto. This year, he improved!
But hold on. Was it great? Sorry to say, not so much.
The engineer by trade was still mostly deadpan.
Give him credit. You can tell he was coached up to vary his speech pattern, get loud at the designated times and go off script. All good things!
But he has yet to learn to be engaging. He still can't hold your attention. Especially in a way-too-long speech.
It was also a bit scattered and lacked a real focus.
Before doing a speech, one should ask, "What's the main thing I want to get across and how can I tie multiple topics together?"
Hey, he could use an editor and a speech coach. Or he could take my advice … for free!

Preparing to buy[ Edited ]
03-11-2009 08:21 PM - edited 03-11-2009 08:25 PM
OK. We are taking the plunge and have begun the search for a place to live. I'm usually here looking for resident trolls and unwanted spammers, but DW and I are wanting to learn so as to be ready to buy by the fall.
Credit. By the time we are ready, my mid score will be an estimated 700-720 and DW's around 740-750. Current mine is around 650 and DW's 670.
I will have 0 lates reporting and will have a redeemed repo from early 2005. That TL has nine 30 days and six 60 days on the worst CR. The lates though are not factored into the scores. My payment history on EQ and TU reads "Great". I will also have about 12 CC accts at or near $0. And will have a more recent car note that will be paid to $0 come next month. Our most recent TL would be from 12/2008 with no inquiries since that point.
DW will have a paid CapOne CO with a DOFD around 2004-5, an unpaid med collection from 2004, the same redeemed repo, the same paid car note, and also about 12 CCs at or near $0. She will also be showing new credit from 12/2008 with no inquiries from that point. Other than the CapOne CO and the repo, DW has no lates.
Income. Gross W-2 income is about $89k. DW doesn't work but draws a stipend for being on a corp. board and that is included above. I'm also self-employed and can show an extra profit of about $25k. Haven't done taxes for this past yr yet, but that figure may be higher or lower. I prefer not to include this income into consideration, though.
Source of income. Our W-2 income comes from the same company. I am the pres. for that company but have no ownership over it. Income is salaried and is paid semi-monthly.
Monthly debt payments. Monthly payments would be $0. We'll have no CC payments, and car will be paid next month. No SLs. No other debts, except for the unpaid medical collection.
Employment (for those who are employed). I have been working for the same company for 12 years come May. Been with the industry for just as long. I have been self-employed for 13 years come July for the same business, but really don't want to factor that in.
Assets/Reserves. We are a little nervous here. We have a $30k CD that matures in August. We also have about $8k in a 401(k), but I refuse to check the statement with the way things are. Probably closer to a No-Oh-One-K. We'll probably have about $5k in cash sitting around in checking or savings by then.
Location. Looking at Fairfax Co. VA. Specifically, Burke or Fairfax areas.
Property. Single Family.
Value. Really uncertain to the values. We are spending time on Zillow and Trulia (sp?) and are confused on the affordability calculators. Est. $300-$450k. Pretty sure $450 is the high-end.
Occupancy. Primary residence and first residence.
Transaction Type. Looking for a traditional 30 yr fixed.
We really want to take advantage of this tax credit. Our in-laws own the house we are in now as an investment property and are thinking to rent it out to other family members. It is our cue to leave. And with prices so low, we really don't want to pass up this opportunity to buy.
We are nervous about buying though. Prices are so high in this area and I'm afraid our income is too low, relatively speaking. What type of programs are out there for us (BTW, we never had the opportunity to serve)? I really am looking forward to learning now.
In short:
What price range are we looking at?
What programs are available, or do we ever want to go that route?
With the current market, what down payment is preferred?
Closing costs?

Lawsuits move forward
MCALESTER, Dec 11, 2012 (McAlester News-Capital - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- A long-simmering lawsuit and counter-action between the city of McAlester and former City Manager Randy Green is set to see action this month in the form of a motion hearing in Pittsburg County District Court.
A hearing is set for 11:30 a.m. on Dec. 17 before Associate District Judge James Bland at the Pittsburg County Courthouse in McAlester. During the hearing, all "dispositive motions" filed by the parties involved in the case are to be heard by the judge.
A dispositive motion is basically a legal request seeking a court order to dispose of all or part of the claims in a case without the need for a trial.
During the Dec. 17 hearing, the judge could hear any pending requests for summary judgments, motions to dismiss or other related items.
The case has been making its way through the court system since 2006, when attorneys representing the city of McAlester filed a district court lawsuit on behalf of the city, the McAlester Public Works Authority and the McAlester Defined Benefit Retirement Plan and Trust against the former city manager.
Green fired back with a third-party petition against the city and several of its representatives.
Attorneys for the city and for Green both filed amended petitions in 2006, with both sides seeking monetary damages "in excess of $10,000" on several causes of action.
Meanwhile, in some of the most recent action, attorneys representing the city of McAlester, the McAlester Public Works Authority and the city's Defined Benefit Retirement Plan and Trust filed a motion on September seeking a partial summary judgment in the case.
Judge Bland issued an order filed Nov. 21 stating that at the joint request of the parties involved, Green, as the "defendant and third party plaintiff" would be given until Monday to file a "surreply brief" in response to the city's Sept. 26 action.
Among the actions sought in the city's Sept. 26 filing is "treble damages," a legal term signifying an attempt to recover three times the actual damages the city is alleged to have incurred. A plaintiff, in this case the city of McAlester, can ask the court in a lawsuit to impose the triple damages as a form of punishment.
A "surreply brief" is basically a brief that is allowed after several responses have already been issued in connection with a case.
One of the main points of contention between Green and the city is the amount of Green's retirement payments.
In the amended petition, Robert Ivester, the city attorney at the time, states "The Retirement Plan is presently paying to the defendant $3,694.11 per month as retirement as provided under the plan." "In computing the monthly payment plaintiff has excluded all buybacks which were obtained by the defendant by embezzlement and has excluded car allowance and excluded car allowance." Green has already served and completed a federal prison sentence following his conviction on embezzlement charges at the Eastern District of Oklahoma U.S. Courthouse in Muskogee. City councilors terminated him as city manager in 2005 in the wake of revelations regarding massive buybacks of unused leave.
In Green's amended petition, his attorney contends that his correct monthly benefit amount was $6,554.55.
Green's lawsuit names as defendants the city of McAlester Defined Benefit Retirement Plan and Trust; the city of McAlester council members acting as the plan administrator; Dale Nave as an individual who served as city councilman; Greg Rock, as an individual; Don Lewis, as an individual, and the city of McAlester councilmen and mayor serving in 2003.
Lewis is a former McAlester mayor, while Rock and Nave are former city councilors. Rock is also a former acting mayor for the city of McAlester.
Mayor and city councilors who were serving in 2003 include Dale Covington, mayor, and former City Councilors Eric Fassio, Ward 1; Dave Attebury, Ward 2; Michael Dawkins, Ward 3; James Brown, Ward 4; Charles "Shorty" Repass, Ward 5, and Louis Smitherman, Ward 6. Smitherman is not specifically mentioned in the third party petition.

Mommas who have nursed while pregnant......
Wife to my Army Ranger, FOREVER Anthony's Mom (forever 11 years old) my angel, Momma to our littles...A (10), A (8), A (4), A (2) & little A
Comments (4)
There is a really good book called Adventures In Tandem Nursing, by Hilary Flower, that would answer a lot of your questions. Also, if you go to kellymom.com and type something about nursing through pregnancy or tandem nursing in the search box, you'll get a number of articles, incl., I believe, some excerpts from Hilary's book.
Anecdotally, I nursed through all of my pregnancies except, of course, my first . No matter what I did, my milk supply plummeted by the middle of the pregnancy, but since my babies were over 18 months by that time, I wasn't as concerned about their nutrition as I would've been if they'd been much younger.
I didn't stress too much about increasing my food or liquid intake, but focused on healthy eating and just making sure I got enough liquids. I took a prenatal as a backup. I always had horrid morning sickness during the first trimester, but still managed to gain weight, so I wasn't very concerned about not taking in enough nutrients.
I can't quote any studies on this, so take it for what it's worth , but I'd always read that your body will naturally take care of the pregnancy first, then try to protect the milk supply, then meet the mother's own nutritional needs. Again, I don't know how true this actually is, but I found it reassuring in terms of the developing baby.

My breasts are super tender though from the hormones. Sometimes it's actually painful to nurse. But I'm so close to having the new LO that I don't want to take away comfort from Liam just as his brother gets here. So I grit my teeth and bear it.

You need about 2,000 calories a day for breastfeeding. Then an additional 200 calories during the 2nd trimester (2200) and then 300 extra calories in the third trimester (2500). HTH!

"Ballad of the Tattooed Lady" Firecat Gallery Chicago IL 2011 (Click image to see full gallery)
Kewpie was a character created by Rose O'Neil for Lady's Home journal in the early 1900's. Its name was a take on cupid or eros, the god of love. Kewpies impish smile and round belly came to full pop culture saturation as an image that sold everything from Jello to Kodak cameras. Tattoo flash sheets of the early 1900's featured them predominately but by the 1950's they were thought of as old fashion. (Think of a similar pop culture images of bugs bunny and tasmanian devil who have fallen from flash grace.)
Besides a predictable cute cupid theme, many of the tattoo images of Kewpie show it in manly western get-ups, holding guns as if a boy playing at being a man. In my designs for Little whore little man I played on those "manly" Kewpies and made an equally aggressive feminine. She doesn't have a gun but she's got buns. Her sexuality is her weapon and her slur (whore). In comparison the male Kewpie (playing at a mans game of aggression) is allowed to be a man, there is no slur to his power. More about Kewpies can be found at:
These gloves are all vintage, each unique and often showing signs of wear. I do not sell them as wearable fashion items but paintings that are on gloves. They hang on the wall via magnets and steel inserts or custom made shadow box frames. For prices and availability please contact Packer Schopf Gallery: Packergallery.com

.- Yet another state has passed pro-life legislation that would prohibit abortion. Louisiana approved the bill yesterday and the governor is expected to sign it into law.
The law, which would ban most abortions in Louisiana, would go in to effect only if Roe v. Wade were overturned. Women who undergo abortion would not be penalized but doctors could receive a 10-year jail sentence and fines up to $100,000.
The effort to prohibit abortion in Louisiana was a Democrat-led effort. Democrats For Life of America commended Senators Broome, Mount, Nevers and other pro-life Democratic senators and representatives who led the effort.
Sixteen Democrat senators were joined by 14 Republicans to pass the bill by a vote of 30-7. The House passed the bill by a vote of 85-17, with a majority of 45 Democrat legislators ensuring its passage.

Some say I'm like a doll.
Porcelain and painted expertly.
Others say I am the water,
Flowing gracefully and bubbling happily.
Friends who know me tell me I am the wind,
Always moving along, singing my own song, and dancing to its rhythm.
As for me, I say I am a seashell.
Swirling, washed up on the shore of a crowded beach.
Lost and helpless until I'm found by a collector who'll give me the time of day.
If you hold me to your ear, I'll sing to you the tales of the ocean of my home.
If you toss me away, I'll bring the wrath of the sea against you.
Powerful, small, sweet, pretty, dangerous, confusing, laughing, singing.
That is how I see myself.
The ocean reflected in my eyes,
The seaweed tangling my locks,
Other shells are jealous,
Other shells are wary,
Other shells are not the same.
But it is just me, myself, and the seashell resting in my palm.
Silly ones and ther imaginary fears. Like a simple shell could do them harm.
I smile and skip the shell across the flat waters, sending it home, where I cannot go.
As before warned, I have no idea what I'm posting. This is all spur-of-the-moment stuff, so enjoy or don't. I don't mind.
What if there are translated versions of this poem? Such as a Portuguese one, an Arabic one (any kind, from the standard to the Qur'anic one to even dialectal ones), an Ido one, an Interlingua one, a Volapük one, etc.? (By the way, how do I submit poems to deviantART?)
I have no idea if there are translated versions of this, but I'm willing to bet there aren't. It's an original piece, and I don't think anyone would bother to copy it from me and translate it. I'm sure if you pasted it in Google Translate, there would be, but otherwise, no. You can submit anything through the drop-down menu at the top of your screen. The one you're looking for is "Submit" and then the top option, "Submit Art" There's a format waiting for you, and you can type what you want in the box. Hope this helped.
I mean the next-to-last line ("ther" to "their"?).
What if I make attempts to translate the poem into Ido, Interlingua, Volapük, Catalan, or something else? To spot a spelling mistake, I found one on line 21.
love it, absolutely love it
Spur of the moment is good.
Ok I take it back, you're obviously every bit as mad as I am. Not to bad for a spur-of-the-moment piece, give yourself more credit.
Haha. Thanks. I think I'm one of the few women who you can say that to and not get smacked.
And that is about the maddest thing of all.
We poor mad folk must stick together, or the aliens will get us.
Ewh, aliens. Little green people with funny languages. Bring 'em on!

Physical and biological mechanisms of hMSC induction in the cartilage microenvironment
Within the shake of a hand, one can tell that bone is hard, skin is soft, and muscle is in between. The physical properties of each of these tissues are important for their distinct functions in the body. At a much smaller scale, a cell uses its sense of 'touch' to determine the physical properties of its surroundings. In this way, cells can discern if they reside in a bone, skin, or muscle microenvironment.
Not only do cells sense the stiffness of their environment, but they also respond to it. The physical properties of the matrix microenvironment direct key cellular decisions including cell division, migration, and cell fate selection. For a stem cell, this information is a valuable cue that instructs it to select a cell fate that matches the physical surroundings. Experimentally, a stem cell becomes a bone cell when grown on a stiff matrix but it becomes a brain cell on a soft one. In the body, a multitude of physical and biochemical cues cooperate to direct intricate cell fate decisions. Relative to well-studied biochemical cues, we are just beginning to understand how cells sense and respond to physical cues. Despite their importance in stem cell biology, we know almost nothing about how physical cues interact with biochemical cues to instruct stem cells to select a specific fate.
Our research seeks to understand how stem cells integrate physical and biochemical cues to select a cell fate. We discovered a specific combination of physical and biochemical cues that, when combined, drive adult human mesenchymal stem cells to select a cartilage cell fate. Culture of these stem cells on a cartilage-like matrix stiffness greatly intensifies their response to biochemical signals to induce cartilage production. By investigating the molecular basis of this response, we have novel insights into the way cells integrate physical and biochemical cues. Building on this foundation, we will uncover new mechanisms by which stem cells sense and respond to their surroundings to select a specific fate. While this research is important for understanding cartilage cell fate selection, these fundamental mechanisms will inform many aspects of stem cell biology, including the maintenance of pluripotency and the selection of multiple cell fates.
Although our primary focus is the discovery of basic cellular mechanisms, our model system has important clinical relevance. More than 6 million Californians suffer from osteoarthritis, a disease characterized by the loss of cartilage physical properties. Understanding the interaction of physical and biochemical cues in cartilage may elucidate the cause of osteoarthritis while advancing new therapies to treat it. Already, our research suggests that the combination of biochemical and physical cues enhances the utility of human mesenchymal stem cells for cartilage repair. The results of our work will be applied to promote development of a stem cell-based therapy for cartilage repair.
This project investigates the cues that direct human mesenchymal stem cells to select a cartilage cell fate. Despite the fact that this stem cell source is very attractive for stem cell-based cartilage repair, several obstacles have limited its clinical application. Our research has identified a novel combination of biochemical and physical cues that overcomes a number of these obstacles. Although we still do not understand how these cues exert their beneficial effects, this strategy has significant therapeutic potential. By investigating the mechanisms by which these cues promote cartilage cell differentiation, this research may advance the translation of these findings to a clinical setting, which would have significant impact on the state of California.
Approximately 6 million adults in California, or 27% of the population have some form of arthritis. This disease costs California nearly $32 billion each year, with an estimated $23.2 billion spent on direct medical care and $8.3 billion due to lost wages. Osteoarthritis is a disabling disease that limits the ability to engage in the regular physical activity that prevents obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Consequently, successful development of improved arthritis therapies will benefit the health of a significant portion of the California population.
In addition to the health of Californians, cell-based therapies for arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions provide a huge commercial opportunity for California industry. Support from Proposition 71 increases the likelihood that such therapies are developed in partnership with California companies. Clearly their economic success will provide employment opportunities for Californians, tax revenue for the state, and help maintain California as a world leader in biotechnology research and development.
Finally, by investigating the cellular response to physical cues, this work has implications for other stem cell based-therapies as well as for biomaterials design. Physical cues that promote a specific cell fate decision can be engineered into novel biomaterials that are used to deliver stem cell-based therapies to any target tissue. Again, these advances have the potential to improve the health of California citizens and to create commercial opportunities for California biotechnology companies.

Ive done this many times, but I still cant seem to get it right (perfect) i.e., centering brakes with any side pull caliper that does not have a secondary mechanical centering device.
Case in point: I just upped the spoke tension on a rear wheel (to obviate an annoying creak), and after re-truing the rim, I can only effect about a 1 micron gap between the left brake shoe and the rim, with about 7/32 gap to rim at the right side.
- Id like to even this up, but after using my 3rd hand tool and resetting the caliper at the brake bridge , I just get the same result, at least once I squeeze the brake lever. - Ditto for trying to budge the caliper spring over.
Is there some special trick to centering these things? The caliper at hand is a Weinmann 605, but Ive had the same issue with other side pull brakes as well.

After a 35-day stay in Iran, I flew back a few days ago with a deep sigh of relief. Regardless of what we might think of the state of affairs in the U.S., this country is still — and may it always be — a beacon of hope, a land of the free and a home to die for.

Popcorn is a whole grain, so it adds fiber to the diet. It's naturally low in fat and calories and costs only pennies per serving. Three cups of popcorn is considered a 1-ounce serving of grain by the American Diabetes Association and the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Compared to many snack foods, popcorn is low in calories. Air-popped popcorn provides only 30 calories per cup and 1.2 grams of dietary fiber. When oil-popped, it contains only 55 calories. Even drizzled lightly with butter, it's only 90 to 120 calories per cup. Popcorn is ideal for between meal snacking or anytime!
Proper storage of popcorn kernels is important. Without moisture, popcorn can't pop.. The best way to store popcorn is in airtight containers. Plastic or glass is your best bet to avoid moisture loss, especially when stored in a cool place like a cupboard. Avoid the refrigerator. Some say the cold storage makes the popcorn taste better, but many refrigerators contain little moisture and can dry out kernels.
People have been popping corn since the Aztec Indians used it in ceremonies in the early 16th century! Prior to microwave packages, most people popped corn on top of the stove in a heavy pan. One ounce of unpopped popcorn equals a quart popped.
Adults should be careful not to burn themselves from the steam or hot oil.
Use a 3- to 4-quart pan with a loose lid that allows steam to escape. Heat 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup oil for each cup of kernels. Don't use butter! If the oil smokes, it is too hot. Test the oil by putting a few kernels in the hot oil. When they pop, add the rest of the popcorn, cover the pan and shake to evenly spread the oil. When the popping begins to slow, remove the pan from the stovetop. The heated oil will still pop the remaining kernels.
Pre-salting kernels toughens popcorn. So, salt the popcorn after it has been popped -- or skip salt altogether and add salt-free spices.

President Jacques Chirac of France has appointed Sarah Lawrence College President Michele Tolela Myers to the order of the Légion d'Honneur for outstanding achievement. To be so recognized is the highest honor an individual can receive from the French government. The Légion d'Honneur was created by Napoléon Bonaparte in 1802 and has honored citizens of France and other countries since 1804. The decoration has been bestowed upon military personnel and civilians including presidents, ambassadors, artists, authors and educators. The honor has been awarded to Dr. Myers for her services to education in the United States.
Dr. Myers, who holds dual French-U.S. citizenship, was born in Morocco and raised in France. She earned a diplôme in political science and economics from the Institute of Political Studies at the University of Paris, a master's degree and Ph.D. degree in communication studies from the University of Denver, and a master's degree in clinical psychology from Trinity University in Texas. She taught sociology and communication, with an emphasis on organizational behavior, managerial communication and negotiations, and has been a consultant on these issues for education, business, professional and healthcare organizations. She is co-author, with Gail E. Myers, of four books on communications: The Dynamics of Human Communication: A Laboratory Approach; Managing by Communication: an Organizational Approach; Communicating When We Speak; and Communication for the Urban Professional.
President of Sarah Lawrence College since 1998, Dr. Myers previously served as president of Denison University for ten years and dean of the undergraduate college at Bryn Mawr College. She is currently a member of the Board of Directors of JSTOR, ARTstor and the Sherman Fairchild Foundation. Among the numerous positions she has held, she served as chairman of the American Council on Education from 1997-98. Dr. Myers will retire at the end of July, 2007.

Fable II
Question from oz2555
What if you sacrifice your spouse to the Temple of Shadows? *possible spoilers*
So, I'm at 2000 points with the Temple of Shadows and I tried sacrificing 4 monks at midnight, which is apparently not enough for the legendary weapon.
So my question is, if I get married and sacrifice my spouse and 3 monks will that be enough? I'm not really fond of Alex, the guy from the Death Do Us Part quest... if I sacrifice him, will he go away?
Will there be any repercussions from sacrificing my spouse?
I plan to reload my save if its not enough, but if it is I want to make sure I don't screw my game up somehow. And no kids to worry about, either.
8 years ago
Okay, so I know that it will get me the legendary. So what will happen to the spouse?
8 years ago
Accepted Answer
He or she will be killed and you will become a widow. Not much else.
8 years ago
As long as you do it between 12am and 1am that aughta give you the juice to get the legendary weapon. Most folks actually recommend killing your spouse and the monks for that particular quest. So you had it right on!

It's only been two months but the best NBA story of 2007 is Kevin Garnett and the Boston Celtics.
Basketball is best when great players have a chance to play with other great players.
Until this season, Garnett's most talented teammates have been too-young Stephon Marbury, too-young Sam Cassell, and never-young Latrell Spreewell.
And even in their primes, Marbury was always a loser and Spreewell was always a ticking time bomb.
It's nearly impossible to play at your maximum potential when your GM has surrounded you with scrubs like Mark Blount and Troy Hudson.
Now teamed with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, Garnett has a chance to create a legacy for himself, and it's only fair. Few players in the league compete as hard as Garnett does, or play as unselfishly as he does, or are such a positive beacon for the league as Garnett is.
He's always handled himself with class, and has always been one of the most respected players in the NBA because of it. Now we get to see just how good he is.
The main knocks on KG are that he doesn't raise his game in the playoffs, that he's soft, and that he doesn't produce in clutch situations.
All are fair criticisms—but at least now Garnett has a chance to answer them head on. He has the chance to play well in the playoffs with a team that can actually win. He has the chance to make big shots, or grab tough rebounds, or make crucial assists.
He has the chance to prove that his game isn't just stats and hype. And the Celtics have skyrocketed to an impressive 29-3 record with Garnett's unselfish play setting the tone.
Maybe Garnett will fail the Celtics in the playoffs. Maybe he will get pushed around, and maybe he won't make the big plays when his team needs him too. Maybe his legacy will indeed end up being tarnished.
But at least Garnett has the chance to prove his detractors wrong.
It's what NBA fans deserve.
Most importantly, it's what Garnett deserves.

Mellanox is at Vancouver this week and the frequency of #OpenStack tweets have quadrupled. If you are wondering how they are related, it's because every 6 months, the industry showcases the next coolest thing in cloud at the OpenStack Summit.
For those who are unaware, OpenStack is an open source cloud operating system, which initially began as a joint project between Rackspace and NASA and was quickly embraced by the entire industry, from hot startups to big enterprises. Year after year, this honey pot has attracted more bees than ever imagined.
This year marks a big landmark for the OpenStack community partly because several organizations propelled OpenStack from a 'test bed' to a 'production ready' cloud [Read Walmart and Fujitsu story].

Did the mom say something about missing jewerly from Morgan's room? If I were a cop and had a case where there was alleged stalking and a dead victim I'd probably have done a more thorough investigation. I don't know that Brooke killed Morgan but she looks off to me. More off than just being accused of murder. Whatever problems she has (they didn't specifically mention them but alluded to them) could have been the reason for her lack of empathy, caring, etc... That doesn't make her evil or a murdered. I do think it seems that the police did a shitty job of investigating. Was there a glass in the room since the drugs had to be in liquid form? I would want better answers if I were Morgan's parents as well.
Brooke's family already tried to shut down the blog with their restraining order. Failed. Probably wouldn't win libel or slander either, because she hasn't said anything on the blog directly accusing Brooke or Keenan of murder. I bet they could win a civil case though.
I can be Jell-O!
The more I heard from her, the more the mother seems crazy. If I lost my child, I'd probably go bat shit crazy too. I just hate that people put so much blame on the child because she liked to party. So do 85% of children her age. I'm not saying it's beyond a child to lie about sneaking in and out to their parents. Every kid lies to their parents about something. Drinking and smoking weed, though, is not going to somehow make a child suicidal. Especially not the weed, lol. This is not a story that can be solved, but definitely do not listen to the mother.
I almost feel like this is like a munchausen by proxy case except she is saying a stalking and not an illness.
Believing in even the possibility of a happy ending is a very powerful thing. -Mary Margaret
I totally agree with you Monica! She didn't want a baby monitor in her room. SO WHAT! She's still under mama's roof, so mama makes the rules! I would be in there for as long as it took. Shoot, I would have uprooted the family, moved to the middle of nowhere and left no tracks, and moved the hell on with my life in a more protected home. Also, there are better cameras they could have bought to see what was hitting the window. It's Colorado. Rocks fly all over the place and certainly hit my window at night. It's not that far fetched.

"Wow, really?"
Still feels too soon.
Adios, Chris. You were the consumnate "asshole pitcher" on the mound, but you were a gamer and you were legitimately great when healthy. Can't say I'll miss you too terribly much, but that's just an NL competitor's fan whose heart you shattered last postseason speaking. Godspeed.3. Adam Starblind Posted: March 18, 2013 at 08:11 PM (#4390780)
I don't think Carpenter comes all that close to being a HoF'er at all. The real question is: how close to the borderline is he? Additionally, how would he fare here at Primer in the HoM?
Hall of Jack McDowell maybe.4. zonk Posted: March 18, 2013 at 08:41 PM (#4390796)
"Too soon!"
Carpenter has had so many resurrections that he's one of the few guys hanging them up that doesn't make me feel old.. seems like he's been around forever. If someone asked me to name the year Carpenter debuted, and I didn't think too hard about what the current year is - I'd probably guess early 90s.
it's not a terribly surprise
I know I'm not the smartest guy here, but that doesn't sound correct....

"Hey, I kinda like that."
Good riddance. Now Shelby Miller and Trevor Rosenthal are going to combine for 30-odd wins this year, just to piss me off.8. Select Storage Device Posted: March 18, 2013 at 10:16 PM (#4390862)
Yah, really. Understand that my hardcore fandom re-emerged in the 2003 offseason. It all makes sense -- he's three years removed from being an /actually/ dominant pitcher instead of just a good one.
I missed the struggling years -- he might have well as been a rookie in 2004. And with his injury history this train was destined for the station pretty damn soon.
So it feels weird. Great pitcher and sad to see it official.

Considering this could have been said a decade ago, things worked out fairly well for him.11. All Sleepy knows is what's on the internet Posted: March 18, 2013 at 11:15 PM (#4390915)
More wins than Rich Gossage, more strikeouts than Babe Ruth, lower ERA than Red Ruffing. PUT HIM IN THE HALL.
More Cy Young awards and post-season wins than Jack Morris... and about 7 bWAR shy, in 1600ish fewer innings.
And game 5 of the 2011 NLDS was every bit as good as any postseason game Morris ever pitched.
The reason that I knew he had been around so long is that I remember he almost overlapped Cris Carpenter.13. Crispix reaches boiling point with lackluster play Posted: March 19, 2013 at 12:41 AM (#4390968)
In the case of Chris Carpenter I think we should use the NFL standards for Hall of Fame worthiness.14. Meatwad Posted: March 19, 2013 at 01:04 AM (#4390973)
good riddance indeed. Though it is nice that he will be sucking up money from the cards while not pitching15. Steve Balboni's Personal Trainer Posted: March 19, 2013 at 09:28 AM (#4391052)
As a fellow New Hampshire native, we've loved watching him keep fighting after thinking he was done 10 years ago. It's a pretty fascinating, unlikely career:16. BDC Posted: March 19, 2013 at 09:53 AM (#4391071)
Hot prospect who struggles to break over "league average" performance, then...
...misses 1 1/2 years due to injury, you think he's done, then...
...goes 51-18 over a three-year period, including a Cy Young Award and another 3rd place finish, then...
...basically misses two years due to injury in his age 32 and 33 seasons, then...
...comes back again, goes 44-22 over three years, including a 2nd place finish in the CYA, leads the NL in starts in the two other years, pitching 472 innings in his final two full seasons.

Those are some very fine pitchers, though careers for the most part not long enough for any Hall. (Ferrell's in the HOM, but is kind of a special case; Bender is in the HOF – a "mistake," I reckon; he was outstanding for a while on some great teams, and very famous as a result, but didn't have a long dominant career.)
Interesting how many were long ago; Guidry is the only remotely-near-contemporary, and I have only foggy guesses why, so I will pass on them :)
The 2000 Blue Jays were a fun team with a lineup full of sluggers (tied for 8th most home runs by a team*), and a rotation featuring two terrible young guys, Chris Carpenter (6.26 ERA) and Roy Halladay (10.64 ERA).18. Randy Jones Posted: March 19, 2013 at 10:22 AM (#4391098)
*Of the 14 teams that have hit 240 HRs in a season, all but the 2010 Jays and the 1961 Yankees occurred between 1996 and 2005.

2012 Yankees...
EDIT: and 2009 Yankees
Good to great pitcher just he didn't stay on the mound long enough. Durability is a skill as well. Great career that should be celebrated and kudos to him for putting it all together after Toronto.20. MikeTorrez Posted: March 19, 2013 at 10:53 AM (#4391133)
