Take a peek behind closed doors at some of our favorite bold bedrooms and see how you can imbue your space with striking hues and a serious dose of personality.

Design: Linda Woodrum Visit Original Photo Chic Stripes Although tight on square footage, the homeowner made the most of her bedroom by opting for a full size bed, then pairing it with clear acrylic side tables that don't take up any visual space. Design: Brian Patrick Flynn Visit Original Photo Graphic Teal After a one-week redesign, this master bedroom received a major overhaul with minimal mess and disruption. To lighten and brighten the room, the dingy carpet and padding were both removed in four-foot strips before a whitewashed wood laminate floating floor was installed atop the subfloor. The walls were painted a bold shade of teal along with a multi-tone tray ceiling. When originally asked what they wanted their updated bedroom to look like, the homeowners stated, "We want bright and cheery. Even though it's a bedroom, we still want it bright. And graphic." Design: Brian Patrick Flynn From Brian Patrick Flynn Visit Original Photo Red Accents Prior to a makeover, this master bedroom was in contractor-grade condition, from its neutral carpet to the beige paint on its walls. Taking inspiration from its colorful abstract art, the room received a new identity with shades of blue accented with fire-engine red. Design: Brian Patrick Flynn Visit Original Photo Deep Purple To make what was a juvenile girl's room more appropriate for a growing tween, its walls were painted a deep shade of violet, album cover-inspired art was hung to create a focal point, vintage lighting was installed on the ceilings and the walls, and women's fashion fabrics were used in upholstered accents. Design: Brian Patrick Flynn Visit Original Photo Toy Story Forget about predictable Disney. Pixar's Toy Story series served as inspiration for this bedroom design, punctuated by bright colors, interesting patterns and toys galore.

Custom-crafted bunk beds maximize floor space in this bright and festive room. Each bed features its own dedicated nautical-style reading light. The exterior roof line creates an angled ceiling. Design: Linda Woodrum Visit Original Photo Deco Glam Black walls are made elegant with the addition of crisp white trim and furnishings and an ornate chandelier in this bedroom featured on HGTV's Color Splash. A green rug, colorful pillows and unusual artwork add visual interest, while the luxe headboard, nightstand and lamps add a touch of Art Deco glamour. Design: David Bromstad From David Bromstad Visit Original Photo Vibrant Personality The walls of this master bedroom were painted bright red to match the vibrant personality of the homeowner.

To give this classic combo year-round utility, throw dark brown in the mix. Design: Brian Patrick Flynn From Brian Patrick Flynn Visit Original Photo Jolt of Energy To add a jolt of energy to this otherwise minimalistic, neutral bedroom, the wall behind the bed was painted a shade of red from Dunn-Edwards called Red Contrast. This is an excellent design trick for homeowners who love red but find it too high-energy for a whole bedroom. Although the red wall becomes a focal point upon entering the room, it's out of sight once lying in bed. Design: Brian Patrick Flynn From Brian Patrick Flynn Visit Original Photo Pink & Paisley Richly-patterned paisley wallpaper, an ornate chandelier, and bright pink walls bring this modern bedroom to life.

The Welfare Function: Its Role in Welfare Economics
Welfare economics is that part of economics where such words as "good" and "bad," "ought" and "ought not," hopefully banished from the realm of positive economics, reappear to serve as guides for public policy. It is an applied science, in the same way that medicine is an applied science. Medicine gathers together pertinent information from anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, bacteriology, psychology, physical chemistry, and other disciplines in terms of a single purpose: to combat illness in man; or, to put it in a positive way, to further human health. Welfare economics, similarly, gathers together the pertinent theoretical relationships from positive or "pure" economics in terms, typically, of a single end: the economic welfare of the community. The various prescriptions of welfare economics, whether in concrete form bearing on real issues of the day, or in the highly abstract form of "optimum conditions," have meaning only with respect to the particular end or set of ends being considered.
This is not to say that all welfare economists always are thinking of the same end toward which to prescribe. For one thing, it is not at all clear what dividing line -- if any -- should be set up between policy evaluations and recommendations ostensibly aimed at limited special goals, and other policy evaluations and recommendations ostensibly aimed at the goal of the welfare of the group. In other words, our very definition of "welfare economist" is notoriously ambiguous. There is a presumption that no public policy (in the widest sense of the term) is oriented toward social diswelfare,

Marilyn Monroe, June 1, 1926 to August 5, 1962
Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jeane Mortenson) came into this world 89 years ago today. Today I want to celebrate her creative life. When I look at her images, I see a spirit that never dies. Marilyn had an intellectual depth that few people ever understood. Her face is recognized all over the world, and women still try to imitate her to this day. Her classic style has become timeless, never marred by old age.
Today I want to think about the happy times that Marilyn had instead of the difficult ones. Looking at her old photos, I can still see those precious moments of joy shining through her eyes. Was she dreaming of a happy future, or the lead role in a serious movie? Marilyn will forever keep us guessing.

for Geosciences--Data Policies
GEO Division Data Policies and Information
The NSF brings transparency to its long-standing policy on dissemination
and sharing of research results through the required inclusion of
a data management plan with each project submission:
Plans for the dissemination and sharing of research results will
be traceable from the beginning to the end of a project (proposal,
review, and annual/final report). The primary goal of this procedural
change is to assure that products of research help NSF achieve its
mission to promote the progress of science and engineering.
The National Science Board produced a 2005 report on "Long-Lived
Digital Data Collections" which recognized that science has
become increasingly data-intensive, requiring new kinds of collaborations
and techniques. The new requirement that all research proposals
include a Data Management Plan effectively implements a recommendation
from this report. The NSB report represents one of several influential
reports that note that major advances in technology are driving
rapid changes in the scale, scope and complexity of science and
engineering data collections. These changes can create significant
obstacles for communities that strive to make the products of science
openly accessible. If access to data and knowledge are to be as
broad as possible, cultural and institutional changes must keep
pace with technology changes.

The UN Made Them Sick
From Peacekeeping without Accountability: The United Nations' Responsibility for the Haitian Cholera Epidemic (http://www.law.yale.edu/ news/17237.htm) July 2013
In October 2010, only months after the country was devastated by a massive earthquake, Haiti was afflicted with another human tragedy: the outbreak of a cholera epidemic, now the largest in the world, which has killed over 8,000 people, sickened more than 600,000, and promises new infections for a decade or more. Tragically, the cholera outbreak - the first in modern Haitian history - was caused by United Nations peacekeeping troops who inadvertently carried the disease from Nepal to the Haitian town of Méyè.
In October 2010, the U.N. deployed peacekeeping troops from Nepal to join MINUSTAH in Haiti. The U.N. stationed these troops at an outpost near Méyè, approximately 40 kilometers northeast of Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince. The Méyè base was just a few meters from a tributary of the Artibonite River, the largest river in Haiti and one of the country's main sources of water for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Peacekeepers from Nepal, where cholera is endemic, arrived in Haiti shortly after a major outbreak of the disease occurred in their home country. Sanitation infrastructure at their base in Méyè was haphazardly constructed, and as a result, sewage from the base contaminated the nearby tributary. Less than a month after the arrival of the U.N. troops from Nepal, the Haitian Ministry of Public Health reported the first cases of cholera just downstream from the MINUSTAH camp.
Cholera spread as Haitians drank contaminated water and ate contaminated food; the country's already weak and over-burdened sanitary system only exacerbated transmission of the disease among Haitians. In less than two weeks after the initial cases were reported, cholera had already spread throughout central Haiti. During the first 30 days of the epidemic, nearly 2,000 people died. By early November 2010, health officials recorded over 7,000 cases of infection. By July 2011, cholera was infecting one new person per minute, and the total number of Haitians infected with cholera surpassed the combined infected population of the rest of the world. The epidemic continued to ravage the country throughout 2012, worsened by Hurricane Sandy's heavy rains and flooding in October 2012. In the spring of 2013, with the coming of the rainy season, Haiti has once more seen a spike in new infections.
Haitian and international non-governmental organizations have called on the U.N. to accept responsibility for causing the outbreak, but to date the U.N. has refused to do so. In November 2011, Haitian and U.S. human rights organizations filed a complaint with the U.N. on behalf of over 5,000 victims of the epidemic, alleging that the U.N. was responsible for the outbreak and demanding reparations for victims. The U.N. did not respond for over a year, and in February 2013, invoking the Convention on Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations, summarily dismissed the victims' claims. Relying on its organizational immunity from suit, the U.N. refused to address the merits of the complaint or the factual question of how the epidemic started...
This report provides the first comprehensive analysis of not only the origins of the cholera outbreak in Haiti, but also the U.N.'s legal and humanitarian obligations in light of the outbreak and the steps the U.N. must take to remediate this ongoing humanitarian disaster. This analysis has concluded the following:
1) The cholera epidemic in Haiti is directly traceable to MINUSTAH peacekeepers and the inadequate waste infrastructure at their base in Méyè.
2) The U.N.'s refusal to establish a claims commission for the victims of the epidemic violates its contractual obligation to Haiti under international law.
3) By introducing cholera into Haiti and denying any form of remedy to victims of the epidemic, the U.N. has failed to uphold its duties under international human rights law. …

May 24, 2016
Athens, GA - Georgia senior quarterback Aaron Murray has been named the Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season after his team's 44-41 win over #6 LSU, according to an announcement from the Walter Camp Football Foundation.
Murray has also been named the Athlon Sports National Player of the Week following Georgia's third win of the year.
Murray is the eighth Georgia player to earn Player of the Week honors since 2004. He is the second UGA player to earn multiple honors joining three-time Player of the Week recipient former Bulldog Jarvis Jones.
TCU's Sam Carter was named the National Defensive Player of the Week after posting five tackles, two interceptions (one that he returned 66 yards for a touchdown), one sack and a forced fumble in the win over SMU.
Murray, a native of Tampa, Fla., went 20-for-34 for 298 yards and four touchdowns while also adding a rushing score. He connected with Justin Scott-Wesley for a game-winning 25-yard touchdown at the 1:47 mark in the final quarter.
Picking up victories over two top-10 teams in the last three games, Murray moved into the No. 2 spot in school history for career passing yardage at 11,429 (former Bulldog David Greene holds the school and SEC records at 11,528). Murray now also has 11,659 yards of total offense, which is No. 2 in SEC history.
Sixth-ranked Georgia travels to Knoxville, Tenn., to take on Tennessee at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. CBS will televise Georgia's game for the second week in a row.

Why the Copa America Centenario is better than the EurosRyan Bailey at FC Yahoo 12 hrs ago
Good news: It's going to be a fantastic summer of soccer! We've got two major tournaments on our hands, with Copa America Centenario kicking off in California on Friday and Euro 2016 debuting a week later.
Most soccer fans – particularly those of a European persuasion – will tell you that the European Championships are a far superior tournament to the equivalent festival of futbol across the pond. And in many ways, they may be right. However, there are plenty of reasons why this summer's big tournament in America will be a much more entertaining affair.
Check out this FC Yahoo original video and be sure to give your thoughts on the matter in the comments.
Why the Champions League final is a much bigger deal than the Super BowlRyan Bailey at FC Yahoo 5 days ago
This Saturday, two of the world's greatest soccer teams will meet at the pinnacle of domestic European competition in the UEFA Champions League final.
The 61st iteration of Europe's premier club competition will see Real Madrid face its neighbors Atletico Madrid, effectively giving us a replay of the 2014 Champions League final where Los Blancos scooped their much coveted " Decima " (10th European Cup).
The Champions League final is a global behemoth, but how does it compare in stature to America's biggest annual sporting event – the Super Bowl?
In the video above, I run the numbers to compare and contrast the two types of football. Take a look and be sure to check our 2016 Champions League final preview in the latest FC Yahoo podcast.

When the FA Cup was great and why it isn't anymoreRyan Bailey at FC Yahoo 12 days ago
The world's oldest soccer cup competition will stage its 135th final on Saturday, but sadly, the trophy lost its sheen long ago.
In years gone by, Manchester United's clash with Crystal Palace would have been met with tremendous fanfare: the build-up would have last weeks and anticipation on the big day at Wembley would reach fever pitch. In fact, this was the exact scenario when the two teams met in a thrilling final in 1990.
However, the FA Cup no longer holds the same magic. In this FC Yahoo video, I look back at happier times for the competition and explain why it no longer enjoys behemoth status.
Hakan Calhanoglu: The greatest free kick specialist in the game todayRyan Bailey at FC Yahoo 12 days ago
It's February 2014 and Hamburger SV are second from bottom in the Bundesliga. Coach Bert van Marwijk has been relieved of his duties after a disastrous run of eight consecutive defeats in all competitions. On this cold Saturday, a 57,000-capacity crowd fear the worst as title-chasing Borussia Dortmund are in town, ready to inflict further damage to a wounded animal. In their past two meetings, Jurgen Klopp's side scored a combined 10 goals—they eat Hamburgers for breakfast, so to speak.
Die Rothosen need something special. And boy, do they get it.
Against all odds and expectation, Hamburg are 2-0 up as the game clock clicks past 90 minutes. Then, something truly amazing happens. The home team wins a free kick just outside the centre circle. It's the kind of free kick that might typically be passed out to a winger, or back to a defender to burn some time and protect a 2-0 win.
But when you have Hakan Çalhanoğlu, one of the best free kick specialist in the game today, that's not how you handle the situation …
"These are the perfect conditions for a free kick [laughs] OK, you need some talent, too."

The Premier League may be an unstoppable behemoth in terms of its ability to attract a global audience and generate obscene amounts of cash, but on the field, La Liga has long been the continental king.
This year, we find three Spanish sides in major European finals (it was nearly a whitewash before Liverpool had their say) and La Liga teams have been victorious in 47 of their last 50 knockout games against non-Spanish sides.
So why does Spain reign in the European game? I take a look at the various factors in this FC Yahoo video – take a look and be sure to leave a comment below or get in touch @YahooSoccer.

The next Leicester City? Here are the three best candidatesRyan Bailey at FC Yahoo 26 days ago
Unless you have been living under a rock that is impervious to incredibly unlikely sporting triumphs, you will be aware that Leicester City are Premier League champions.
[ Play Yahoo Daily Fantasy Soccer | Premier League scores and schedule ]
A 5000-1 long shot like that could surely only be witnessed once in a lifetime, but the Foxes' triumph will almost certainly have inspired many smaller teams to dream bigger. In a Premier League climate where $8 billion TV deals have leveled the playing field to the extent that any club can afford world-class talent, it's never been more likely for a minnow to "pull a Leicester."
Five changes Chelsea must make next seasonRyan Bailey at FC Yahoo 29 days ago
In the 2015-16 season, Chelsea have been, without doubt, one of the most disappointing teams in European soccer. The Blues are destined to finish mid-table and without silverware, which is far below the expectation of a side with their considerable resources and recent track record.
However, with Antonio Conte arriving at Stamford Bridge at the conclusion of Euro 2016, the South London club will have the perfect opportunity to start afresh. Here's my take on the five issues which Chelsea must prioritize to get back among Europe's elite sides.
Be sure to leave your thoughts on the Blues' priorities next season in the comments.

Mumbai: Mumbai is the city where Madhuri Dixit tasted success and achieved stardom. But now, the same city is giving her a taste of bitter politics. She is facing heat from the Congress-NCP government over not attending an awards function.
The Maharashtra government is upset that the Bollywood heartthrob didn't attend the Raj Kapoor Awards function constituted by the state where she was to be honoured for her special contribution.
And the government argues that Madhuri could find time to present herself at an event presided by Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray where she was given the Dinanath Mangeshkar Award.
"This is a state honour, a token of the love of 11 crore citizens. Some stars were free to receive other awards two days ago, but are tied for time to receive a government honour," said Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.
This comes days after the Shiv Sena targeted Sachin Tndulkar for not responding to several invites by the Sena-led municipal corporation to honour the batting legend for completing his 100 centuries.
Already miffed that Sachin's presidential nomination to the Rajya Sabha came with the backing of the Congress, the Sena is contemplating reviewing a proposal where a toll plaza on the outskirts of Mumbai was to be named after Sachin.
"Sachin is being honoured by others. So the BMC (BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation) honouring him really must not matter to him. This is an insult to the Mayor. We must understand him and end this by honouring him by just writing a letter," said Shubha Raul, ex-Mayor and a sitting Member of the Legislative Council.
Madhuri has now joined a long list of celebrities who have been in the line of fire of political parties who feel snubbed by celebrities, like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Sachin Tendulkar. These celebrities have been targeted just because they have chosen not to toe the line of a particular political ideology. And these are attacks on soft targets that may make national headlines but do little to increase the credibility of political parties.

A peach-verbena floating island by Anne-Sophie Pic for DailyPic
DailyPic will offer lunch and dinner fare, as well as beverages and pastries throughout the day.
The only female chef in France with three Michelin stars, Anne-Sophie Pic is known primarily for her high-end gourmet restaurants. But from Tuesday, June 10, her cuisine will be accessible at lower prices through DailyPic, a new casual spot in Valence, France.
"DailyPic is a high-quality cafeteria as I've always imagined it. Fresh, unpretentious dishes made with seasonal ingredients, prepared in the kitchens of the Maison Pic [the chef's Michelin-starred restaurant] to bring out the best in their flavours, with a touch of sophistication to bring something special to everyday life," explains Anne-Sophie Pic.
The ready-to-eat dishes are served in small glass jars, and new options are added to the menu each week. Among the fare guests will enjoy: carrot salad with voatsiperifery pepper, cucumber gazpacho with fennel, confit veal tendron, beans with sage and coffee and – for dessert – a floating island flavoured with sencha green tea.
In addition to meals, which may be purchased to go or enjoyed on site, DailyPic will offer beverages (from €1.70 for a hot drink) and pastries (from €3.50 for an individual cake). There will also be a small selection of high-end groceries, allowing guests to take home some of the ingredients used by Anne-Sophie Pic in her restaurants.
Offered seven days a week (though not for dinner on Sundays), the meals are reasonably priced: 4 euro for appetizers, €6 for main dishes and €4 for desserts. There are also two fixed-price menus available at €11.90 (appetizer/main/drink or main/dessert/drink) or €14.90 (appetizer/main/dessert/drink), with dishes that change daily.
In the footsteps of her fellow chefs
By opening her own informal eatery, Pic joins the ranks of several other high-profile French chefs who have branched out to offer more affordable ready-to-eat fare.
Marc Veyrat, for example, recently launched a fleet of food trucks in Paris. Catering to office workers on their lunch breaks around the French capital, the cafeterias on wheels serve freshly prepared dishes in glass jars.
Boco, a Parisian restaurant founded by a food critic and his brother in 2010, seems to have launched the idea of serving fast food in reusable glass jars, which are seen as a relatively eco-friendly and esthetically pleasing way to keep prepared food fresh.
Paul Bocuse, who has a reputation as the godfather of French gastronomy, opened his first OuestExpress fast food restaurant in 2008. The chain now includes three locations in France. In 2002, far ahead of the curve, celebrity chef Alain Ducasse opened a high-end bakery and sandwich shop, Be, in Paris.
DailyPic is located at 3 Place Championnet, Valence, France. More information: www.facebook.com/dailypicvalence. – AFP Relaxnews

The lighter side of Thunder coach Scott Brooks
James Harden was one day away from returning to Oklahoma City to face his former teammates. Predictably, every Thunder player was insisting it was "just another game," that no special feelings were involved.
Not coach Scott Brooks.
"No, it's not another game," Brooks said with conviction, piquing the interest of unsuspecting reporters who thought they were destined for a "just another game" quote.
Brooks hesitated slightly, like a point guard about to execute a crossover move, and then continued. "They traded me in the second championship year (1994-95)," Brooks began as the media contingent quickly learned he was up to his old tricks. "It took me five years to get over (Rockets coach) Rudy Tomjanovich. Now, we're best buddies. But, yeah, it's still personal."
A smile crept on Brooks' face before he finished himself off with one final self-deprecating swipe. "That was the truth many years ago, but I wasn't really good enough to say, 'Oh, I'm going to really go at 'em next time we play,' " Brooks said.
When used properly, humor can be completely disarming. It can breathe life into exhausted players and make critics readjust their bearings.
Since the NBA's territorial draft ended in 1965, only 37 undrafted players have been good enough to play in the league for 10-plus seasons. Scott William Brooks is one of those players, going unselected in the 1987 NBA Draft, even though it lasted seven rounds (161 picks).
"Whenever anybody asks, I tell them I was picked in the third round," said Brooks, who indeed was drafted in the third round of that year's Continental Basketball Association draft.
Even though Brooks' career achievement in the NBA puts him in the top 1 percent of anyone who has ever played the game, he still pokes fun at himself.
What makes this self-deprecation so effective are Brooks' qualifications. He seemingly has experienced everything possible in the NBA during the past quarter century.
As a player: Brooks went undrafted; started out in the CBA; was traded four times (once at halftime of a game), signed as a free agent three times and waived twice; was traded from a good team (Philadelphia) to a bad team (Minnesota) to a great team (Houston) to a bad team (Dallas) to a good team (New York); spent five days with the famed Boston Celtics before being waived; suffered a knee injury that ended his NBA career; and played his final season in the semipro rekindling of the ABA.
As a coach: Brooks was as an assistant and head coach in the ABA; returned to the NBA to become an assistant with Denver, Sacramento and a Seattle franchise that relocated to Oklahoma City; served as interim head coach for 69 games before finally having the title removed; and in just three full seasons as the Thunder's coach has won two division titles, a conference crown and was named NBA Coach of the Year.
Brooks played collegiately for one season at TCU, transferred to San Joaquin Delta College (in Stockton, Calif.) for one season and played his final two seasons with UC-Irvine, where he would become the best pro player in school history.
As a 5-foot-11, 165-pound senior, Brooks averaged 23.8 points and shot 43.2 percent from 3-point range. On a night the school opened its new events center, Brooks poured in 43 points against Utah State. When he faced Pacific, the school 10 miles from his mother's house that refused to offer him a scholarship, Brooks scored 41.
Brooks reportedly made $3,417,500 as an NBA player, considerably less than he'll make with the four-year deal worth $16-$18 million he signed last July to remain Thunder coach.
It took three-time NBA scoring champ Kevin Durant ($16.7 million salary) just 17 games this season to match Brooks' career player earnings, but the guy who stands one foot shorter is the one calling the shots for a player on the cusp of becoming the league's Most Valuable Player.
"He's quick to say something to anybody if we mess up — miss a rotation, if we're playing as hard as he wants us to play," Durant said of Brooks. "He's not afraid. He's a great guy to lead us."
Wise well beyond his 24 years, Durant is fully aware sometimes Brooks manufactures criticism in an attempt to prove Durant is not above reproach.
"He's got a quick trigger on me," Durant said with a smile. "He came in (the other day), looked at me for 10 seconds and said, 'KD, get a haircut.' "
The main differences between Brooks and Durant? "He's a little bit more boring than I am," Durant said.
When Durant was quick to sign a five-year extension with the Thunder in the summer of 2010, part of the reason was Brooks.
"We really click, man," Durant said. "He's family. I consider him part of my family. He's helped me so much since I came into this league, even my rookie year when he wasn't the head coach (at Seattle). He gave me encouragement every single day. He saw the potential in me. He believed in me. It's very important that we have a very good relationship, which we do and it's getting better every single day. We can laugh and joke at each other, too."
Durant said one reason he appreciates Brooks' sense of humor is he never makes himself the center of attention.
"Naw, never," Durant said. "He's the most humble guy I've ever been around, never gives credit to himself. Whenever he makes great adjustments and puts us in great position to win, he always says it's because of us. We know without him we wouldn't be able to win a game, or have a good stretch, or (have a winning) month. He does so much for us, man. He's always humble about it and we really respect that about him."
It was the 1994-95 season and if Brooks wasn't going to get any playing time with the defending world champion Houston Rockets, he wanted to be traded to a place where there were minutes.
At least that's what Tomjanovich thought when the Rockets traded Brooks to the Dallas Mavericks at halftime of a home game against the Detroit Pistons the night of the league's trade deadline on Feb. 23, 1995.
Brooks had won a championship ring with the Rockets the previous season and would have won another had he not been traded. As mentioned before, Brooks was not happy with the chain of events.
"It was a hard thing to do because Scotty was so important to me, and I know that doesn't seem like it's a true statement," Tomjanovich explained. "If he couldn't play, he wanted to go somewhere and play. He ended up out of our (guard) rotation. It was a tough situation because I cared about the guy so much. There was talk about him really wanting to go somewhere and play."
Brooks' relationship with Tomjanovich immediately was strained.
"It was really hard to trade him. In fact, I cried," Tomjanovich said. "He was upset and I was really surprised about that because I thought he wanted it. I never really talked to him about it. I found out later how much it hurt him."
Tomjanovich attends many Houston home games and will attend Saturday's game when the Thunder visits. Brooks does not telephone Tomjanovich for coaching advice, but they chat before games when Brooks spots him.
"I just cannot tell you how proud I am of the guy," Tomjanovich said. "It's the way he handles himself. I was one of those coaches that no matter what, you always support your players. No matter what, and that's how he's been.
"That kind of positive energy he throws out there is so important. You have to make corrections and tell guys when they're wrong, but there's a way you do it and Scotty does it the right way."
When Tomjanovich once complimented Brooks on his game-day demeanor, Brooks replied: "I might look calm, but there are certain parts of me that aren't very calm at all."
Brooks' humor is not a string of one-liners. He is neither Henny Youngman nor Rodney Dangerfield.
Brooks habitually spews those familiar Thunder company lines. Thousands of questions are being asked, but 99.7 percent of the time Brooks reverts to 10 patented responses uttered by every card-carrying member of the tight-lipped franchise.
What's refreshing is no matter how many times Brooks is asked the same question, he'll answer politely. On many occasions, prominent national basketball writers have expressed their pleasure in dealing with Brooks, and it's not because of the Thunder's rapid rise to NBA prominence.
What separates Brooks from others in the profession is how he treats reporters, no matter what their market size. Big or small, famous or not, Brooks treats people equally. He might take potshots at himself, but Brooks does not take aim at others.
"He takes his coaching very seriously, but I think he's learned to laugh at things," Tomjanovich said. "You have to do it or this game will eat you up. It's so competitive."
- On Nov. 21 at Chesapeake Energy Arena, a Los Angeles reporter had a question about the superior court presence of Clippers point guard Chris Paul and asked Brooks if he thought in the same manner when he was an NBA point guard.
"It's hard for me not to smile when you're mentioning Chris Paul and myself (in the same sentence)," Brooks said with a grin. "Everybody here was thinking that, but nobody was wanting to say it."
- Two Decembers ago, Brooks was interviewed for a story about the sudden surplus of scoring point guards in the NBA.
"You should do a story on nonscoring point guards," Brooks told the reporter. "I was the last one, and that was just because I couldn't score."
- Thunder veteran Nick Collison, who at 32 is the oldest Thunder player, once was asked if he remembered seeing Brooks playing in the NBA playoffs.
"I remember some towel waving," Collison deadpanned. "I vaguely remember those series, but I was pretty young. I could be wrong. Maybe he played huge minutes."
- In April of 2010, when the No. 8-seeded Thunder faced the No. 1-seeded, defending world champion Los Angeles Lakers in the opening round of the playoffs, Brooks was trying to convince visiting media the best-of-seven series was going to be closer than people thought.
"We always felt that we were going to be in this series and that the series was going to go long," Brooks said. "We weren't thinking that we would sweep them."
A few reporters laughed immediately, but not enough to please Brooks. "That was a joke," Brooks said, after which everybody laughed.
Before Brooks' comedy act could continue, the interview session suddenly was cut short. "But I'm not finished," Brooks said, feigning frustration.
Brooks' childhood somewhat mirrors his basketball career — some highs, lots of lows and many struggles. Asked if he uses humor as a defense mechanism, Brooks was quite serious in his answer.
"I'm very lucky to be in my position, and I've always felt that," Brooks said, "Even as a child when I grew up with no father, the youngest of seven children, working hard to get everything and seeing my mother work all the time, I still felt I had an opportunity to make a difference.
"I feel lucky that I'm in this position. Not a lot of guys make it in the NBA as a player and not a lot of guys make it who are under 6-foot and not drafted. I always have everything in perspective. I definitely want to enjoy what I do and I want our players to enjoy what they do, because this is the time of their lives. I had the time of my life as a player and they need to have that same experience."
Brooks, who averaged 4.9 points and 2.4 assists in 680 career games, admits getting frustrated when he evaluates his playing days in bits and pieces.
"I always wish I could have done more," Brooks said, "but reality sets in pretty quickly and I realize I did everything I could with what I had."
A smile crept on Brooks' face when he learned he was one of only 37 undrafted players since 1965 to have lasted at least 10 seasons in the NBA.
"That's great," Brooks said, using that slight hesitation again, "but the sad thing about it is I'm probably the 37th best player on that list."

The Sunday rain did not deter shopper Neville Bayly from taking in the final day of the season at the Vancouver Farmers Market.
She said she comes every weekend.
"I like fresh produce every week and I'm a foodie," she said, armed with her umbrella. "And I like to support my vendor friends."
"I think its better and better each year," Bayly of Vancouver said of the market. "It's very well organized and I like the competitiveness of each stall, and I have my favorites, I know them by name."
She bought delicata squash and fresh organic apples on Sunday.
So, the 23rd edition of the March through October market is in the books.
Jordan Boldt said his unofficial records show a 40 percent increase in customers over 2011. He said more than 360,000 people visited the market.
"It's been a record year for a lot of vendors," Boldt said. Despite a half-inch of rain Sunday, many vendors were doing well, with holiday shoppers making purchases. Vendors pay $40 a day to sell at the market on Esther Street just off Eighth Street. Boldt said the market is self-sustaining financially with its 180 vendors.
He said a busy day brings 15,000 or more customers.
"We had days when at 9:30 (a.m.) it was wall-to-wall people," Boldt said.
Crawford's Farm of Cornelius, Ore., had a great year at the market, said Sandro Chavez, 37, and his cousin, Isamar Zurita, 14. They sell several kinds of vegetables and fruits.
Chavez said the family has been coming to the Vancouver market for two decades.
Zurita said on a good day, the family can have sales of $5,000.
"We'll keep coming, definitely," Zurita said, when asked if Crawford's will be back in 2013.
At the Camdeo Candle, Steve Wildman said it has been an excellent year for the Fisher's Landing firm run by his daughter, Caitlin Marsters. The soy candles sell for $7 to $14 and come in 80 scents.
He said his daughter was not staffing the booth because, "She's making candles right now."
"I had a lot of return customers (Sunday), they were doing their holiday shopping," Wildman said.
"I doubled my business from last year," said Edward Geisler of CGI Orchard in Hazel Dell. He sells 11 varieties of heirloom apples from September through October at the market.
"I'm certified organic. Customers want fresh, local and organic," he said.
Boldt said he was pleased with the 2012 season and noted the market offered a healthy meals effort this year.
He said about 150 people took advantage of the program that demonstrates cooking health y meals and then offers the foods for free to families in need who watch the presentation.
Boldt noted the market also awarded three scholarships this year to local students interested in agriculture. The awards totaled $5,000.
As for shopper Bayly, she will be back at the market in March, saying: "I look forward to the spring because it means the farmers market is back and I return to my produce community."

The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great… (original 2006; edition 2006)
by Timothy Egan
Work details
The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl by Timothy Egan (2006)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Excellent description of the dust bowl era told from the prospective of the people who lived through it.
This book told the tale of several families that headed west for the "free" land and encountered problems caused my weather (a severe drought) and constantly fluctuating prices for the crops they were able to grow.
Sometimes they had mountains of money and other times their crops were worthless.
The book was rather dry, no pun intended, and left lots to be desired, IMHO.
Before the story-tellers take their memories to their graves, Timothy Egan reports on the stories of a few families who lived through the terror of dust storms in our nation's Dust Bowl. Egan uses the voice of the people who sought out a better life and lived through the drama of devastated land to bring attention to the "ruinous ignorance of nature's ways." Here are the stories of surviving the terror of dust storms that destroyed crops, filled homes with dust, and even killed loved one. Here are the tales of those who saw the rise and fall of a region because of environmental arrogance and political ineptness. Conmen who knew well the probability of failure, convinced the poor of the east to move westward and begin new farms. Yet, Egan's stories highlight the endurance and heroism of people even when faced with disaster. In this novel, Egan captures another historical era of American grit and at the same time provides a cautionary tale of the conflict between nature and man. Excepts from this text work fit well into a unit on the elements of Romanticism or a unit on Naturalism. The Romantic belief that man is part of nature and should be wary of trying to conquer it, The Worst Hard Time serves as evidence that Romantic beliefs are true. When discussing the conflict between nature and man, I would also use London's "To Build A Fire" as a compare/contrast story. Articles and videos discussing Global Warming are also useful with this text. Stories of Native American relocation work well as evidence that man can adapt to natural surroundings, regardless of unfavorable conditions, and survive.
This was a very popular book around here a few years ago and I can see why. It tells the story of the men and women who lived through the Dust Bowl in 1930s. This era is one of the most shocking eras of human destruction of the world we live in. Settlers were encouraged to move to this land that had previously only been inhabited by nomadic Indian tribes, bison, and a few ranchers. The settlers moved in, tore up all the grasses, and planted wheat. For a few years there was a boom. Lots of rain and soaring grain prices made it seem like a great idea, but then the inevitable dry years came and grain prices bottomed out with the Great Depression. The combination of grasses that had held the soil in place for centuries was no longer there and the wheat fields that replaced them lay fallow. The relentless wind moved millions of tons of topsoil all around the country in horrific dust storms.
The book is written in narrative nonfiction style, following the lives of several families in Texas and the the Oklahoma panhandle. It was effective to explore the people who stayed through the decade of dust storms since most people are more familiar with the "Okies" who fled west. Overall, I wished that the book had focused a bit more on the science and ecology of the situation rather than the human interest stories, but it did make for engaging reading.
I was pretty horrified, but not surprised, by the the disaster that humans caused. Much of the area was replanted with grasses, a process that is still being worked on. The discouraging thing is that Egan mentions briefly that the main solution, though, has been to tap into the vast underground aquifer known as Lake Ogallala. It is the nation's largest source of fresh water and it's being drawn down 8 times faster than nature can refill it to irrigate these grasslands and the remaining farms. Seems like we could be creating an ecological disaster just as bad as the dust storms in the 30s if we aren't careful.
A great way to learn about the great dust bowl, what led up to it, and what might be done to avoid a similar catastrophe, not that we are ever all that good about learning from our mistakes. I bought this book for my husband, and we both enjoyed reading it. Not a fun book, very sobering and sad.
The Worst Hard Time," takes the shape of a classic disaster tale. We meet the central characters (the "nesters" who farmed around the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles); dire warnings (against plowing) are voiced but ignored; and then all hell breaks loose. Ten-thousand-foot-high dust storms whip across the landscape, choking people and animals, and eventually laying waste to one of the richest ecosystems on earth.
Racing at 50 miles an hour, the Dust Bowl storms of the 1930's blasted paint off buildings; soil crushed trees, dented cars and drifted into 50-foot dunes. Tsunamis of grasshoppers devoured anything that drought, hail and tornadoes had spared. To the settlers, "it seemed on many days as if a curtain were being drawn across a vast stage at world's end." Families couldn't huddle together for warmth or love: the static electricity would knock them down. Children died of dust pneumonia, and livestock suffocated on dirt, their insides packed with soil. Women hung wet sheets in windows, taped doors and stuffed cracks with rags. None of this really worked. Housecleaning, in this era, was performed with a shovel.
On April 14, 1935, the biggest dust storm on record descended over five states, from the Dakotas to Amarillo, Texas. People standing a few feet apart could not see each other; if they touched, they risked being knocked over by the static electricity that the dust created in the air. The Dust Bowl was the product of reckless, market-driven farming that had so abused the land that, when dry weather came, the wind lifted up millions of acres of topsoil and whipped it around in "black blizzards," which blew as far east as New York. This ecological disaster rapidly disfigured whole communities. Egan's portraits of the families who stayed behind are sobering and far less familiar than those of the "exodusters" who staggered out of the High Plains. He tells of towns depopulated to this day, a mother who watched her baby die of "dust pneumonia," and farmers who gathered tumbleweed as food for their cattle and, eventually, for their children.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0618773479, Paperback)
The dust storms that terrorized the High Plains in the darkest years of the Depression were like nothing ever seen before or since.
Timothy Egan's critically acclaimed account rescues this iconic chapter of American history from the shadows in a tour de force of historical reportage. Following a dozen families and their communities through the rise and fall of the region, Egan tells of their desperate attempts to carry on through blinding black dust blizzards, crop failure, and the death of loved ones. Brilliantly capturing the terrifying drama of catastrophe, Egan does equal justice to the human characters who become his heroes, the stoic, long-suffering men and women whose lives he opens up with urgency and respect" (New York Times).
In an era that promises ever-greater natural disasters, The Worst Hard Time is arguably the best nonfiction book yet" (Austin Statesman Journal) on the greatest environmental disaster ever to be visited upon our land and a powerful cautionary tale about the dangers of trifling with nature.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:17:00 -0400)
Presents an oral history of the dust storms that devastated the Great Plains during the Depression, following several families and their communities in their struggle to persevere despite the devastation.

I usually check the sale racks of my local outdoor shops. It's good to check at the end of biking season and beginning of biking season when they display all the previous year's stuff that wasn't sold. I think it's better than ordering from a catalog because you can see them in person and try them on (yes, with underwear!).
I just got my Pearl Izumi mountiain biking shorts for 60% off.
get the FOX 360s, its a little high on the price but its worth it.
Santini and Jandd are decent.

I bought a pair of cheap shorts on Pricepoint.. worst thing I ever did. They're so uncomfortable. The padding is badly placed, the fabric isn't even actual lycra so they get soggy as hell with sweat. I'll never buy another pair of cheap shorts. I bought a pair of Fox's 8 panel shorts for like 55 bucks and I couldn't believe the difference. Go with a good name, like Pearl Izumi or Fox.
My money pits:
Cannondale Jekyll 500 with Avid Mechs and Sun DS2 rims with XT disc hubs.
Cannondale F900 with SRAM XO shifters/derailler, Mavic X3.1 tubeless wheels, Avid Mechs, Race Face Next LP cranks, Time ATAC pedals, SRAM levers.
As far as lycra, I only wear Pearl Izumi, Assos, or Castelli upper end stuff. To me, it's worth it when you spend 2-3 hours on a road bike. For baggies, I found a couple of Nike shorts at their outlet store, I really like the MX style shorts from Fox Racing, the Nema Crown Jewels are super nice, and I just bought a pair of DV8's from Nashbar. The DV8's are NOT as nice as my Fox's, but they were 1/2 the price!

First look: Glory Days Bar and Grill
In 2011, it's difficult to understand where the concept of the sports bar originated. With multiple and massive flat-panel HDTVs in just about every bar or restaurant in town--regardless of theme or philosophy--it's not easy to remember a time when the sports bar could be considered novel or unique. Hell, what even defines a sports bar nowadays? Some Twins pennants on the wall and an old Vikings jersey in a glass case?
New Brighton has a new addition to the less-than-illustrious list of local strip-mall sports bars called Glory Days Bar and Grill. The Hot Dish stopped by for a brew and to watch the Twinkies languish in the AL Central cellar.
The first thing to notice when one walks in is the set of six bleacher seats salvaged from the Metrodome. Nostalgic? Yes. Comfortable? Meh.
The space feels like a really nice rec room in someone's house. The wall of plate glass windows on one side of the location looks out on some houses across the street, so close that one could probably watch the occupants in those houses watching the Twins on their own TVs. If we lived in one of those houses, we would invest in a very good set of blinds.
There's not a whole lot to say about the decor. It's standard sports bar regalia, including a large scoreboard and banks of TVs. In fact, if anything, it's a little sparser than the average sports bar. Considering that Glory Days has been open less than two weeks and hasn't had its grand opening yet, this may well be changing soon.
The servers working this night seemed to understand the deal: This is a low-key neighborhood hangout. As a result, there was a very casual, though not inattentive, feel to the service. We took advantage of the All Day, Every Day Special--a pint of Hamm's for $1.50--and sat down with a menu.
The offerings are exactly what you expect to find at a sports bar. Chicken wings? Check. Burgers? Check. Bastardizations of Mexican food? Check.
There really are no unique or signature dishes here. The menu does tout the Glory Days Dip, which was represented as a saucy juggernaut of awesomeness. We decided to add a side of this magical dip ($1.50) to our order of a steak tips wrap ($12.95) and the Nordeaster Turkey Club ($8.95). The sandwiches come with French fries or a choice of soup or salad.
|Nordeast Turkey Club
The Nordeaster Turkey Club is not, despite the name, made from turkey basted in Grain Belt Nordeast beer. This is a disappointment. Seriously, somebody get on that. Turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and banana peppers make up this solid sandwich. The bun isn't really up to snuff and doesn't hold the messy insides of the sandwich very well. But the bacon is crispy, the melted cheese is plentiful, and the banana peppers keep the affair from entering "too-bland" territory. The French fries are reasonably good, though we would advise the owners to start stocking malt vinegar, because these are definitely the kind of fries that go well with malt vinegar.
Speaking of things to dip your fries in, the Glory Days Dip was quite underwhelming. Basically sour cream with some french onion soup mix stirred in, the dip does not hold up to some of the other signature dips around town. The horseradish sauce served with the steak tips was more interesting.

Canadian Quintet Sweetens Comedy in 'Brain Candy'
Colbert, P. S., Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: P.S. Colbert Daily Herald Correspondent
"Kids in the Hall:
Brain Candy"
. . 1/2
Written by Norm Hiscock, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson. Produced by Lorne Michaels. Directed by Kelly Makin. A Paramount Release. Rated R. 89 minutes
The Kids In the Hall David Foley Bruce McCulloch Kevin McDonald Mark McKinney Scott Thompson
Hear ye, hear ye: Cut out the caffeine and pitch out your Prozac.
The new drug of choice has arrived and those hip to this hilarious high are calling it "Brain Candy."
Better known as Gleemonex around the halls of Roritor Pharmaceuticals, this little wonder pill yields 100 percent effectiveness in curing clinical depression by invoking only the happiest of memories stored within the angst-addled minds of its patients.
Among them is kindly old Mrs. Hurdicure (Scott Thompson) who claims she "hasn't felt this good since they said it's nonmalignant."
Chemical enhancement ala Gleemonex also helps liberate homosexual family man Wally Terzinski (Thompson) who bursts through the closet door and marches out onto Main Street, where the neighborhood joins him for a lavish musical number that celebrates his outing.
Once a snarling, spitting musical hate monger, Grivo (Bruce McCulloch) rides the orange capsule straight to the top of the pop charts with the anthemic "Happiness Pie."
This particular development begs the question: If Kurt Cobain had discovered such a cure, would his fans have been satisfied with such sunny melodies? …

England bowler Steven Finn ruled out of first Test in India
07:05 14 November 2012
Steven Finn has been ruled out of England's first Test against India by a thigh strain.
England captain Alastair Cook confirmed that Finn would miss out in a press conference in Ahmedabad.
"Steven will not be available for tomorrow's Test", said Cook. "It would be too big a risk."
England are already contemplating a gamble on Stuart Broad's fitness as he has been troubled by a bruised heel.
Cook did not confirm who would replace Finn at the Sarwar Patel Stadium but seamer Tim Bresnan is the favourite to get the nod.
Fellow seamer Graham Onions and spinner Monty Panesar would be alternatives to Bresnan.
One bowler England will have available to them is Graeme Swann, with the off-spinner back in India following an emergency dash home to tend to his ill baby daughter.
Swann returned home last week after his daughter Charlotte was taken into hospital, but he has now rejoined the team ahead of the four-Test series.
In his column in the Sun, Swann wrote: "I am now totally focused on the first Test after flying home because our little baby was unwell.
"Two long-haul flights in the space of five days is not ideal preparation for the opening match of a huge series for England - but some things are more important than cricket."
Although Swann missed several days of practice, the spinner insisted he feels ready to go.
"I had sleep flying back to India and any jet-lag has gone. I'm fresh and the ball has been coming out well in practice," he wrote.
"I am now concentrating on the Test. I love it when I know I'll have a lot of work to do. The conditions will be hot, the pitches dry and spin will be a big factor in the four-Test series.
"I genuinely believe we can win but we must play better against spin than we did in the three Tests against Pakistan earlier this year.
"We need to get back to playing the same brand of smart, aggressive cricket we did when winning The Ashes a couple of winters ago."
Much of the focus in the build-up to the Test has surrounded Kevin Pietersen's return to the team for the first time since he was dropped for sending 'provocative' text messages to members of the South Africa team.
Swann has welcomed Pietersen back to the fold and believes he can make a big difference in India.
"I hope we'll play sensible but aggressive cricket," he said.
"Nobody can be more destructive, of course, than Kevin Pietersen and his return to the dressing room has been very smooth.
"I think that was always going to be the case after those meetings with him in Oxford before the tour. That effectively killed off anything that happened during the summer and it's been the normal mickey-taking and banter with Kevin.
"In any dressing room, there are always leg-pulling comments. Although I must be honest and say Kevin is not the butt of most of the jokes because there are one or two players specially reserved for that!
"Now we want the cricket to do the talking. And I'm sure Kevin feels the same way."

What is the near future?
Thank you for the information. They did withhold 35% from me. I would gladly trade that for a 15% withholding. Do you know if JPMorgan/Global Tax will do that for someone who does not have their retirement with JPM?
I appreciate you taking your time to respond to me!
I have this in my retirement account which should not be taxed at this time per US tax policy. I am not sure if I can get this refunded or am I just out the amount the Swiss government took. Does anybody have any experience with this company and possibly filing for a tax refund?
You may be required to sell. Price has been down every day since you bought:)
Seriously, I don't understand why it is down so much.
Up another 16%. Making peace with Marcellum Cap Mgm't is agreeing with this stock price. Maybe I can break even some day at $6.50 purchase price.
I think they feel they gave that to us with the additional dividend, which does not begin to make up for the loss I have incurred for the stock price being hammered the last few years. We just made a poor choice in choosing Ford to invest in, because I do not see Fields or anyone else doing anything to substantially increase shareholder value.
The 2014 Annual report shows that they owned about 25,000 shares worth about $3.5M, If they have not added/subtracted any shares that represents a loss of about $2.75M. While it is a large loss by itself, it is diluted by the shares of their other holdings.that should do better.
to get back to IPO price and maintain 22 cent dividend. Make the stock affordable to more people and reward longer term investors.
on higher than normal volume. Could something be happening that has not yet been reported?
I think it is ridiculous what the board has agreed to compensate the CEO of this company. If you agree, please vote against any Board member on the compensation committee when you have a chance.
I hope you are right. I must say, though that I have heard this before.
As if they don't make enough with their salary, they are getting stock options routinely and they routinely sell them. What are they doing to increase the stock price? Please remember when approving board member who are on compensation committee.
Trying to understand why the stock price is not closer to the $33/share purchase price. Is this reflecting that the market does not think the deal will get done at $33/share or is it because we have to wait till October for the deal to complete?
Personally I am happy with the $33 sale price if it occurs, but certainly would like to get more.

Tolerance induction using fetal multilineage hematopoietic stem cells
The human immune system is usually considered to act defensively, recognizing and reacting against invading elements from the outside world. Although such a protective response is often required (for instance, to defend against the entry and spread of infectious agents), it can also prevent the engraftment of foreign cells that might otherwise provide help (for instance, stem cells from an unrelated donor that could be provided as part of a therapy). The goal of this proposal is to find a way to permit such transplants to be tolerated and accepted when necessary. Our experimental strategy is instructed by the single occasion during each of our lives when we must tolerate the presence of "foreign" cells: the time when we are in the womb, in close contact with our related but genetically distinct mother. In recent experiments, we have discovered that this is a time when our immune systems include large numbers of so-called "regulatory T cells," or Tregs. These cells are generated so that they can suppress the immune response of the fetus against the mother, allowing for a full-term pregnancy to take place without problems. Importantly, we have found that such Tregs are derived from a blood-forming stem cell in the fetus that is distinct from the one that is found after birth. Thus, the fetal stem cell gives rise to an immune system that confers tolerance and prevents an immune response against the mother, whereas the adult stem cell gives rise to an immune system that reacts against anything that is foreign (including cells from the mother). We wish to learn how to isolate the fetal stem cell, preferably from discarded umbilical cord blood, and to learn how to use it after birth so that tolerance to foreign stem cell grafts can be conferred. Two investigators and their respective teams with long experience in human immunology and in stem cell biology, as well as in the use of preclinical models to study stem cell transplantation, will collaborate on these studies. Using resources from CIRM as well as those leveraged from their existing programs, this team will carry out a milestone-driven program to test the feasibility of this approach. Should it work, the next step will be to optimize and to bring this novel approach to the clinic so that it might benefit those in need of stem cell grafts from unrelated donors for a myriad of currently untreatable diseases.
The proposed research will benefit the State of California and its citizens in three ways:
• It will immediately leverage existing resources to support a multidisciplinary, multi-site, in-State collaboration that is likely to discover new knowledge in an efficient manner. Such collaborations form the basis for bench-to-bedside research and are best facilitated by goal-oriented programs such as that envisioned by the CIRM request for applications.
• Pursuit of this project may move a novel strategy for inducing tolerance to stem cell grants to the clinic, thereby expanding the use of such grafts to a much larger population of patients in need. In particular, our proposed approach could open the door to the development of multiple new stem cell therapies that might be carried out in the absence of lifelong immunosuppression. This step, in turn, would likely encourage creative new applications of stem cells for an even broader constellation of human diseases than previously imagined.
• Finally, the knowledge that is obtained could form the basis of a preclinical effort that would garner the input of additional support from non-State (e.g., venture capital) sources while also generating new jobs and taxable income for those in the State. If, for instance, preliminary data from this series of studies appear promising, a much larger infusion of resources would be required to realize the full potential of the proposed strategy. Since our approach will be applicable to all forms of allogeneic stem cell transplantation into humans, the potential demand for its use would be large and the chances for successful pursuit of additional resources should be correspondingly high. To the extent that such resources are forthcoming, new jobs and additional taxable revenues for the State will follow.
