Is this Responsible Journalism? Is it necessary to publish this sort of weakness in America's country's defenses? I don't disagree that Bioterrorism is a threat to be concerned about, just the presentation & the flip attitude of how easy it will be to pull this off. Or do we need this kind of "the-sky-is-going-to-fall" reporting to shock us into action?
Americans have little to fear (ny times link) -
Americans have little to fear (ny times link) - In an opinion piece by Larry Johnson, a former State Department counterterrorism specialist published July 10th, Americans are bedeviled by fantasies about terrorism. They seem to believe that terrorism is the greatest threat to the United States and that it is becoming more widespread and lethal. They are likely to think that the United States is the most popular target of terrorists. And they almost certainly have the impression that extremist Islamic groups cause most terrorism.
None of these beliefs are based in fact. . . .

New York Fashion Week: Vera Wang, Tory Burch, Badgley Mischka
By Samantha Critchell/Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Rachel Roy was at Vera Wang's NY Fashion Week show Tuesday, in a choice seat next to John Legend. Tory Burch regularly attends the shows of Narciso Rodriguez and Proenza Schouler. Diane von Furstenberg always makes room for Oscar de la Renta, and Tommy Hilfiger took in Belstaff.
Fashion has a reputation for being cutthroat, but there are friendships and mentorships as well that don't always get their due.
"I'm a big believer in supporting others," Burch said in a backstage interview.
Models are part of the glue here, too. Jessica Stam made it to the Chelsea space where Thom Browne was showing and Coco Rocha made a quick change from von Furstenberg's front row to Zac Posen's backstage.
Karlie Kloss was on the red carpet for the Grammy Awards, hosting coverage for MTV. She took an overnight flight from Los Angeles to New York to walk in Carolina Herrera's morning show Monday.
"These are my friends. That's why I got back in time. It's a family reunion at Fashion Week," Kloss said. "It's a common misconception that we don't get along but its not really true. … To have a long career, you have to get along."
Roy decided to take her show digital this year, which meant an earlier deadline for her looks. She found the newfound freedom had at least one unexpected perk: "I can go to more of my friends' shows!"
The big question mark on Day 6 of the fall previews in New York is whether John Galliano, who is on a three-week guest stint at de la Renta's studio, will attend the designer's catwalk later in the day.
Mark Badgley and James Mischka are big movie buffs, and it shows in their clothes as they always seem attracted to silver-screen femme fatales.
Their fall collection had a film-noir vibe that always does well for them on the modern Hollywood red carpet. This time, the inspiration was Alfred Hitchcock movies — their favorite being "Vertigo."
Kim Novak as a muse makes so much sense, Badgley said. "She's confident with a little bit of a dark, sexy side."
She also wears polished silhouettes like pencil skirts, fur stoles, halter-top gowns and tops with peplums very well, which fits the Badgley Mischka aesthetic perfectly.
This customer, though, also likes her shine. For fall, she gets a black-and-oyster lame dress, a metallic tweed suit and a jet-black silk and wool gown with a beaded back, cutout bodice and mermaid hemline.
Burch has a confession she shared on the runwy: "I love bugs — at least from a design standpoint."
She decorated a chiffon button-down shirt with scarabs and used jeweled ones on a silk skirt. Embellished dragonflies were subtly placed on some of the shoes — remember Burch's roots are in accessories — making them an instant, must-have status symbol.
But Burch didn't go looking in dark corners for inspiration. She tried to envelop metallic fabrics, the textures of Gustav Klimt's portraits and a free-spirited mood all into the overarching theme of Art Nouveau.
She found inspiration in many weekend outings to The Neue Galerie. "I was an art history major. … I just like to go to see the Klimts. I love his attention to color, detail and texture."
Design sisters Laura and Kate Mulleavy grew up in sunny Santa Cruz, Calif., and evoked their seaside hometown in their fall collection.
But perhaps only to them. "It's really our own version of it," Laura Mulleavy said backstage.
The beachy feel came across most strongly in prints — especially a tie-dye motif in silk satin, which appeared in a host of flowing gowns in pink, blue, red and black.
There were even some Grateful Dead references in the mix — with the iconic Northern California band appearing via brilliant red-rose embroidery on the fanciest dresses, along with Swarovski crystals.
In the collection's most unusual element, many of the tie-dye gowns were embellished with large, futuristic-looking collars and other attached pieces made of what the sisters call 3-D double-faced foam.
John Legend and fiance model Chrissy Teigen, Jada Pinkett Smith and Christine Baranski were on the front row to see ready-to-wear collection of Vera Wang.
Wang has embraced a high level of artistry for her bridal and red-carpet customers, but it was new for her ready to wear. "It was time for us to raise the bar," she said.
"It's going to be all about the collaging of different fabrics, different scales, different textures and different embroideries," she explained.
The first look out was a refined black wool sleeveless coat with an exaggerated arm and capelike collar that was paired with a racer-neckline shift dress. Wang folded fabric like origami to create wool-silk tops, and then topped them over the chest with a silk band.
For eveningwear, if anyone could start the trend for trousers on the red carpet, it's Wang. Her finale rose-printed gray jacquard chiffon blouse and delicate evening robe worn with gray rose-printed pants would be a strong contender.
Fresh off the positive feedback for her high-end label, Beckham offered "zip-and-go" dressing for her more affordable line.
More affordable — but to a point, as Beckham herself acknowledged. "It's still expensive," she noted, "but a little less, and maybe something more women can buy."
Beckham said she focused the collection on the concept of easy, quick dressing. "You don't have to think about it — you just get inside and go," she said.
As an example, she cited her very first item at Tuesday's presentation: A sleeveless gray wool jumper with a low V-neck and white button-down shirt attached inside.
The younger, trendier line of Marc Jacobs was a polished and quiet throwback to the 1960s.
He stuck mostly with pant suits, wool shift or trapeze dresses and coats in solids, accented with a sprinkling of white-and-black stripes and large leaf prints in autumnal red, orange-red, green, purple and a rich deep blue.
The female models, with fluffy curled hair and bright red lips, looked like they were ready to get on an airline flight to mix a little business with pleasure, while the men in plaid wool blazers could have been running off to a campus club meeting.
Trousers for both genders provided an updated look to the mod-style dresses and coats.
Turk focused her presentation on "elevating the sophistication level of what we do. More layered looks, textures and rich colors."
Those rich, fall-like colors were readily visible: Plums, as in a crepe jumpsuit with a silk georgette blouse and long leather plum gloves. Wines, as in a lush lamb and rabbit coat. Purples, as in a bright toggle coat. Or saffron, as in a pair of patchwork trousers.
There was also a wildly colorful column dress in what Turk calls an "Embarcadero" print. And there were shorts, albeit in fall and winter fabrics, like houndstooth.
Associated Press writers Jocelyn Noveck and Amanda Kwan contributed to this report.

Tim Howard likely to miss US qualifiers
Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard has two broken bones in his back and likely will miss the Americans World Cup qualifiers against Costa Rica and Mexico this month.
Aston Villas Brad Guzan is poised to take over in goal in what would be his first qualifiers in four years.
Howard was hurt Feb. 26 in an FA Cup win over Oldham and missed last weekends Premier League game against Reading. That ended his streak of consecutive league matches at 210, two shy of the Everton record set by goalkeeper Neville Southall from 1987-93.
Everton manager David Moyes said Howard will miss Saturdays FA Cup quarterfinal against Wigan and the March 16 match league match versus Manchester City, but could return March 30 against Stoke.
We are not sure how long Tim will be out for because, obviously with a goalkeeper, he has to dive around and hit the ground, Moyes said Friday, according to the teams website. If everything goes well, he misses next weeks game, as well, and then because of the international break he might be close after the rest because that would be four weeks.
Howard, 34, was the U.S. starter at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and has played in all seven qualifiers for the 2014 tournament in Brazil.
He has two fractures, but they are not bones that are supporting anything, Moyes said. It is off the spine. They are not weight-bearing. It just needs a bit of healing time. It is not like a pure fracture where you need to wait to look at it. It is a question of whether he can cope with the pain. The bones will heal themselves, but its not good.
Guzan won Villas starting job from Shay Given early this season. He has 20 international appearances and a 3-1-1 record in qualifiers, with two wins over Barbados in 2008 and one over Guatemala, a loss at Trinidad and Tobago that year, and a draw the following year at El Salvador. He also played in the 3-0 win over Egypt at the 2009 Confederations Cup.
The Americans lost 2-1 at Honduras last month in their opener of the final round of qualifying in North and Central America and the Caribbean, with new central defenders Geoff Cameron and Omar Gonzalez struggling in front of Howard. They host Costa Rica on March 22 at Commerce City, Colo., then play four days later at Mexico City.
The top three nations in the finals, which also include Jamaica and Panama, advance to the 32-team field at next years tournament. The No. 4 team goes to a playoff for another berth, likely against New Zealand.
The U.S. also will be missing midfielder Landon Donovan, not scheduled to return to training with the Los Angeles Galaxy until late March. In addition, Tottenham midfielder Clint Dempsey has not played since Feb. 21 because of a calf injury. Hannover right back Steve Cherundolo has an injured shoulder and could miss a month.MORE IN Sports WireINDEPENDENCE, Ohio Upon their return from Canada, the Cavaliers had nothing to declare at U.S. Full StoryPARIS Milos Raonics second-round opponent at the French Open knows what hes in for: a real...

"ISLA SANTA CRUZ GALAPAGOS ARCHIPELIGO" Isla Santa Cruz by DennyP
Isla Santa Cruz Travel Guide: 92 reviews and 722 photos
Another very interesting island is Santa Cruz or (Indefegatible Island ) named after the British warship the Indefegatible. This is one of the larger of the Islands in the group at just under 1,000 square kilometers in area. This Island of Santa Cruz also boasts the highest human population at Puerto Ayora ,that initself creates its own problems.
One of the most prominent buildings on the Island of Santa Cruz is the Charles Darwin Research Centre..alsolocated here is the Galapagos National Park Service. These two departments play a critical role in the handling of the Galapagos Islands environmental issues.
Like all of the Islands in the group this Island has its share of the unique flora and fauna to be found in the Archipeligo. The large Galapagos tortoise are found here and there are ongoing tortoise breeding programmes where the tortoises when raised are released into the environment.
Cerro Dragon is a lagoon on the Island where many beautiful pink flamingoes walk gently through the waters and can easily be seen and photographed. while walking ,also to be seen are local land Iguanas .Many people also visit this Island to see its famous lava tubes that are located in the highlands of the Island..
Make sure that you venture down to Black Turtle Cove where you will see stingrays in abundance.I couldn't beleive that there were so many togeather...Sharks ,sea turtles and rays use this as a breeding area and there is always lots to see...stand on the waters edge and watch the many sharks zipping by..amazing just how fast they move through the water.
You know it didn't matter where I went or on which Island I visited in this amazing Archipeligo of nature..The unique birdlife , animals and reptiles to be found here is astounding..it isn't any wonder that when Charles Darwin arrived in his ship the "Beagle" he also was astounded at what he found.
- Pros:ANOTHER AMAZING ISLAND EXPERIENCE TO BE ENJOYED HERE
- Cons:REALLY VERY HOT..BUT THATS TO BE EXPECTED

The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen (2001)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Susan Denaker
Let me preface by saying:
I read this book in 2001? and NO... I don't watch Rizzoli and Isles.
The Rizzoli we meet here is quite different from the TV heroine (as described to me by friends).
I thoroughly enjoyed the first 6 or 7 books.
Then I felt they changed in their atmosphere and something inherent in the others was missing.
This was just about the time we got wind of an impending TV series.
I'm thankful for the Gerritsen's pre-TV offerings....they were good reads.
3.5 stars. It was an enjoyable first book in a series and I will for sure read more.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0345447840, Mass Market Paperback)Penzler Pick, August 2001: Tess Gerritsen left a very successful career as an internist to raise her children and devote more time to writing. After several books that have had moderate success, Gerritsen has now written a gruesome and frightening story that should put her among the top women thriller writers working today.
A serial killer is on the loose in Boston. The victims are killed in a particularly nasty way: cut with a scalpel on the stomach, the intestines and uterus removed, and then the throat slashed. The killer obviously has medical knowledge and has been dubbed "the Surgeon" by the media. Detective Thomas Moore and his partner Rizzoli of the Boston Homicide Unit have discovered something that makes this case even more chilling. Years ago in Savannah a serial killer murdered in exactly the same way. He was finally stopped by his last victim, who shot him as he tried to cut her. That last victim is Dr. Catherine Cordell, who now works as a cardiac surgeon at one of Boston's prestigious hospitals. As the murders continue, it becomes obvious that the killer is drawing closer and closer to Dr. Cordell, who is becoming so frightened that she is virtually unable to function. But she is the only person who can help the police catch this copycat killer. Or is it a copycat? To complicate matters even further, Detective Moore, often referred to as Saint Thomas as he continues to mourn the loss of his wife, is getting emotionally involved with the doctor.
The suspense in The Surgeon is almost unbearable. The writing is superb and the stunning twists and turns make it almost impossible to put down. -- Otto Penzler
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:08:44 -0400)
A female heart surgeon, terrorized by a serial killer in Boston using the same MO as a killer who attacked her during her internship years in Savannah, works with a detective to solve the crime while trying to stay alive.

While i tend to agree with his assessment of Armstrong timing his exit well, I have just one little problem with him saying Basso is stronger in the hills. When, in a hilly/mountainous stage, has Basso crossed the line in front of LA?
While i tend to agree with his assessment of Armstrong timing his exit well, I have just one little problem with him saying Basso is stronger in the hills. When, in a hilly/mountainous stage, has Basso crossed the line in front of LA?
On every Tour mountain stage this year and last, Armstrong either finished with Basso or well ahead of him. So I don't get what Riis is talking about.
Originally Posted by Crack'n'fail

It may or may not have made a difference but while LA was training Basso was racing so in therory, he just may be a stronger rider. I would like to see what would happen, and if it makes a diff., if Basso only trained for the Tour but these are only things we can speculate on.
Yeah, just speculation, and it shouldn't really be relevant to what Riis has to say.Originally Posted by MasterSezFaster
I guess Basso is a stronger rider than a soon to be 7 straight time Tour de France winner. Yeah that makes sense.
This article is completely ludicrous and biased if any article ever was. I must assume that Riis did not actually watch the stage if he thought Basso was so much better. Of course Lance was riding on the defensive. He is not going to try and push out ahead of the other riders while he is sitting on a nearly 3 minute cushion. Then whenever Basso decided to take off Lance had no trouble whatsoever catching him and staying with him. Lance seemed to be completely at ease and had no need in crossing the line before Basso because it would have served no good purpose. I think Riis needs to go shove his head up Basso's ass a little more.
Riis is trying to build Basso's confidence, he looks to him to win the tour next year. Taking that into account, it makes perfect sense to say what he did. You certainly wouldn't expect him to say Basso is second rate when compared to Lance did you?Originally Posted by Crack'n'fail
For years, when Lance has been asked, who is the strongest rider in the TdF, he answers "Ullrich". But, Ullrich never beats Lance. So, Lance seems to be referring to Ullrich's physical power, but not to how well Ullrich exploits that power. Likewise, Riis may be referring to Basso's physical power, but not to how well Basso has exploited that power.
It is not safe to say certain things in the Forums. If someone says Basso COULD have challenged Lance more in the mountain stages IF Basso had the self-confidence to do so, he gets called names, cursed, and people suggest he be banned from the Forums. So, I won't be the guy suggesting Basso COULD have done more in the mountains this year. Maybe Riis can be that guy. Ban Riis from the Forums.
I agree, but there are much better ways to do that, without having people question your credibility. It's such a ridiculous and illogical statement, that I have to believe that even Basso thinks Riis is just blowing smoke up his butt.Originally Posted by serotta
Ok so I get the whole confidence thing, but Lance on the defensive? Well, duh, all he has to do is mark your man because he already put lots of time on him. Why would Lance need to be on the offense. And if was "hurt" by your riders acceleration then why the hell does he cross the line ahead of him. Lance didnt need to put an attack on him, so you take a passive Lance and say that Basso is stronger based on that evidence. When did Lance ever even look pushed.Armstrong had to ride on the defensive, Riis told journalists at the Aérodrome de Mende this evening, a few hundred metres from where Basso had cruised home in 14th position. We had planned to try something this morning. Ivan executed the plan to the letter. He may not have dropped Lance but I think that he is the strongest man on the hills now. Once, he might have hesitated to attack on that finale, but not now. When you feel as strong as Ivan does at the moment, confidence comes naturally.
As far as confidence goes. Im confident Basso will finish 2nd to a stronger Armstrong.

"i recieved an infraction"
My read is that Riis was building Basso's confidence. I haven't seen any evidence that Basso could leave Lance on the hills, but I also haven't seen too much evidence that Lance could drop Basso either. The only thing I can think of is the first mountain stage where Basso struggled.
After watching yesterday's stage, I got the distinct impression that Lance could've turned the screw another notch on the last climb, but only did what he had to do to protect his lead. That's just my impression from watching, however. Lance looked relaxed and comfortable on the last climb and I suspect he could've attacked if he saw the need. I am not sure if Basso could've matched him if he'd chosen to go.
Anyway, I can understand the motivation for Riis to say the things he did. I'm just not sure their based in reality. From everything I've seen at the Tour this year, Lance could come back and claim number 8 next year if he had the desire.
Riis wants Basso to stay with CSC. As the tour favorite for next year Basso has some serious bargaining power.
I thought he already signed. Like 4 days ago.Originally Posted by phinney

"i recieved an infraction"
Err, sorry.
Basso has already extended his contract: StoryOriginally Posted by phinney
Yeah, I figured he was just trying to boost Basso's confidence, but it still seems a little odd. Basso himself said he tried all he could and couldn't shake Lance. Do you think he's that succeptible to psychology to actually buy in to what Riis is saying?
Maybe Riis is just taking a page from what Bruyneel originally did with Lance. IIRC, it was Bruyneel who first said Lance could win the Tour, at a time when Lance was thinking of just winning a stage, not the whole Tour.
We may think it's ludicrous, but the DS needs to show confidence in his lead rider (maybe more than the rider has in himself, sometimes).
It's pretty clear w/o Lance, Basso is the favorite for '06 - will Basso skip the Giro next year to peak for the Tour, or risk being tired for the Tour after the Giro?
Basso is in reality strong, and he may be stronger than Lance
on climbs. The real gist of the article for me was the changing of the
guard, LA is older and his dominance is waning. Basso is the true
heir and up and coming tour winner (barring unforseen circumstance
I expect him in Yellow in Paris next year).
I think Basso unsupported in a long mountain stage would be
a match for Lance (also unsupported).

I think there probably is a psychological motivation for Riis' statements, but they are still silly as far as public proclamations.
Basso, in two years, has never beaten Lance in any significant way (yes, by two yards once last year, but they came in together) when it has always been in his interest to beat him. Armstrong has managed to consistently position himself well enough, timewise, that he hasn't needed to beat Basso in the mtns at any time. The only conclusion that I can logically reach is one of two parts- Armstrong is either stronger, or (rather unlikely) equally as strong as Basso. If Basso could have beaten Lance at any particular time, what is he waiting for? In pro sports, unmet potential is usually due to one or more of 3 things- lack of professionalism, lack of opportunity, or prevalence of injury. Basso doesn't have opportunity or injury to fall back on, if in fact he does have that extra bit of talent/potential that we haven't seen.
As far as Armstrong being on the defensive, per Riis' comment, there is nothing 'forced' about it. Disco know how to win, and minimize the chance of failure. Choosing to be on the defensive when you've worked to gain a deserved advantage is, well, a luxury. Doesn't Riis wish he had that luxury...
Indeed. And I really doubt Basso has done anything lower than %100 effort into being as strong as possible, in training and the race. He seems too consistant, that I'd be very suprised to not see him on the podium next year. (He's not much of a crasher, is he?)Originally Posted by 97 Teran
It is waning because there is only 2 days left in his final Tour.Originally Posted by lotek
That said, I am really looking forward to next years Tour.
Has Basso won the tour? no.
Roger Bannister was the first man in history to run a mile in under four minutes. He has written about his quest to break four minutes. He said that the HARDEST thing was truly understanding that it could be done, even though no human had ever done so. Most runners thought it was impossible, and so never even attempted to run that fast.
Within just days of Bannister breaking four minutes, another runner did so. The purely imaginary barrier had evaporated. Eventually, even high school students were running the mile in under four minutes. These kids had seen people run faster than four minutes. So, they went out and did it.
The biggest barrier to Basso beating Armstrong in the mountains has been Basso's belief that it can't be done. How do I know that? Because Basso said so, after Stage 15. Basso announced that the Tour was over, that "Lance was too strong". So, BEFORE riding stages 16, stage 17, stage 18...Basso quits the Tour. It wasn't me who announced Basso had given up on beating Lance. It was Basso.
Some of the dominant riders in Tour history have been accused of arrogance and egotism (which they thought of as "self-confidence"). Basso might need a few ounces of that stuff.

How would you possibly know that? How could you possibly assess what his physical limitations or potential is? What facts/data/ information/ observations do you have to support that kind of absolute statement? Just because Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile, then someone repeated the feat, doesn't mean that's true here.Originally Posted by alanbikehouston
What if both of them believed that they could beat each other? Would it be a tie? Or would Lance win because he is in better shape, is a better rider, is more genetically gifted, is more prepared, etc.?
I think we can all agree that at least part of winning the Tour is mental. If you get inside a guy's head and make him think you're the stronger rider, you probably will be the stronger rider.
Isn't it amazing how the left behinds always spout off at the mouth. Maybe Riis will have a winner next year but not this year
I absolutely agree with that statement, in general. I think that besides natural ability and hard work, the main thing that separates Armstrong, Jordan, Bird,etc. is their focus, determination, discipline, and will to win. What I contest is absolute statements that say Basso can't beat Armstrong because he doesn't think he can. Saying at the end of a stage "I tried to drop Armstrong, but he is too strong" doesn't mean he doesn't think he can beat him, it means that he tried his utmost and couldn't drop him. I'm not saying that it's not a possibility. Maybe he does think he can beat Armstrong, or maybe he doesn't. But making an absolute statement is impossible, short of being Riis, his psychologist, wife, or Basso himself. That's my point. Hey, Vino's absolutely believed that he could beat Armstrong, so just believing doesn't cut it.Originally Posted by Kehaar

Movie review: 'Safe Haven'
The Nicholas Sparks universe finally gets the crime thriller it deserves, an erratic amalgam of mush and mystery, with an 11th-hour dose of supernatural visitation.
Watching "Safe Haven," you feel a strange disconnect between what is happening with the characters and what is happening in the plot. In the foreground is a love story between a pair of agreeable stock characters. There's Katie (Julianne Hough), a Bostonian newly arrived in sleepy, photogenic Southport, N.C., and Alex (Josh Duhamel), the handsome, widowed proprietor of the quaint oceanside grocery. Behind them, clanking and grinding and popping rivets, is the story apparatus, a devilish meat grinder combining domestic violence, interstate flight from pursuing police and restless spirits. What's your point exactly, Nick?
You can understand the impulse to make "Safe Haven" stand apart from Sparks' growing catalog of bland, interchangeable romance movies, but the result is figurative and literal overkill. By piling complications atop surprise revelations, this scatterbrained film gets in its own way.
The film starts in a rush as Katie flees what appears to be a crime scene, slipping past the authorities by wearing a hoodie and feigning pregnancy. That may be a character note, actually. Hopping off the bus in scenic Southport, she's magnetically attracted to single dad Alex and his appealing kids. He's a sitcom-style lovable doofus with good fixer-upper potential. As a woman on the lam, however, Katie can't reveal her feelings, despite the urging of Jo (Cobie Smulders), a neighbor who encourages her to lighten up and settle down.
The film is competently directed by Lasse Hallstrom, but the back-and-forth design of the romantic mystery defeats him. We're supposed to wonder whether Katie is a fugitive murderess, but we're not fooled. The misdirection is all too obvious. The scene-of-the-crime vignettes are montages that are clearly omitting relevant information. Besides, Sparks' heroines are paragons. When the real villain is revealed, that character is extra despicable with sprinkles on top, defiling a Fourth of July parade just so there's no confusion.
The film concludes with a forehead-slapping twist that throws the last vestige of logic out the window. Movies don't have to make a lick of sense to be great entertainment, as long as they're fleet-footed enough to keep us diverted. "Safe Haven" bogs down in every new twist. It's a 10-round cage match between form and content, fought to a punishing, pointless draw.

CHOP Invests in Spark and Gene Therapy's Future
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), an institution on the forefront of gene therapy research for more than 20 years, has invested $50 million in Spark Therapeutics, a biotech start-up company based in Philadelphia. The company will take control of two clinical gene therapy trials that originated at CHOP: a phase III study for inherited blindness caused by mutations of the RPE65 gene and a phase I/II study for hemophilia B. The move marks a significant step in advancing the use of gene therapy to treat diseases by correcting or replacing dysfunctional genes.
Katherine A. High, MD, has spearheaded much of CHOP's work in gene therapy for the last two decades. She is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, the William H. Bennett Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and an attending physician at CHOP. High is also the director of CHOP's Center for Cellular and Molecular Therapeutics (CCMT), established in 2004 as a leading center for gene therapy translational research and manufacturing. Many of CCMT's leaders, including High, will take on management roles within Spark or act as scientific advisors.
"Gene-based medicines are among the most complex therapeutics ever developed," said High. "We at CCMT have persevered through more than a decade of scientific and clinical development and are now closer than ever to realizing the ambitious vision of one-time, potentially curative therapies to address serious genetic conditions. The team at Spark has incredible goals for the treatment of diseases, including hemophilia B and inherited blindness, and we look forward to working with them to deliver groundbreaking new treatments to patients in need."
This partnership follows on the heels of a major breakthrough in gene therapy for hemophilia. In 2011, six hemophilia B patients at the University College London (UCL) Cancer Institute in London were successfully treated with gene therapy. The therapy incorporated the use of adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) as delivery vehicles, or vectors, to carry the genetic codes that trigger the production of the factor IX (FIX) protein, which is deficient in people with hemophilia B. Ideally, AAVs deliver the genetic material into living cells to sustain therapeutic effect without causing disease or triggering significant immune responses. The trial was expanded to eight patients, all of whom generated increased levels of FIX.
The AAVs for the study were prepared by a team from the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. The patients were recruited and treated with the therapy by investigators at UCL, while study co-author High and colleagues at CHOP have monitored patients for immune reactions.
According to a Spark news release, the company has entered into agreements with multiple academic institutions to assemble the technology, programs and capabilities needed to deliver its pioneering gene therapy products. Spark has exclusive rights to commercialize CHOP's proprietary manufacturing technology and will use clinical-grade gene therapy vectors produced by the CCMT's state of the art good manufacturing practices clinical facility.
Spark Therapeutics develops gene-based medicines for a range of diseases. It has produced AAV vectors for clinical studies for the past 20 years. Its goal is to be the nation's first commercial provider of gene therapy.

Consumer spending and incomes fall; savings rise
WASHINGTON Consumer spending fell for a record sixth straight month in December as recession-battered households, worried about surging layoffs, boosted their savings rates to the highest level since May.
Economists expect consumer spending, which accounts for the largest portion of total economic activity, to remain weak this year, prolonging an already painful recession.
The Commerce Department reported Monday that personal consumption spending dropped by 1 percent in December. That was slightly worse than the 0.9 percent decline economists expected. The government also revised its November estimate lower to show spending fell 0.8 percent rather than 0.6 percent in that month.
Incomes, reflecting a wave of layoffs, fell for a third straight month, but the 0.2 percent drop was slightly better than expected. The decline in November, however, was revised to show incomes dropped 0.4 percent, double the initial estimate.
Still, Americans worried about the possibility of more job cuts boosted their savings rate to 3.6 percent of their after-tax incomes in December. That was the highest level since tax rebate checks temporarily pushed the rate up to 4.8 percent in May.
For the year, consumer spending rose by just 3.6 percent, the smallest annual increase since 1961. Incomes rose by 3.7 percent, the weakest gain since a 3.2 percent advance in 2003.
The Federal Reserve will provide a reading of just how bad the credit crunch is later Monday with the release of its latest survey showing how many banks are tightening their lending standards for consumers and businesses.
Two other reports released Monday showed recessionary conditions persist in the construction and manufacturing sectors.
Construction spending fell by 1.4 percent in December, reflecting weakness in both residential and nonresidential building, according to the Commerce Department. For the year, construction activity was down a record 5.1 percent as home building plunged by 27.2 percent, the biggest annual decline on records that go back to 1993.
President Barack Obama is pushing Congress to pass an $819 billion economic stimulus package that would include increases for government infrastructure projects such as highways and bridges.
Meanwhile, a key gauge of manufacturing activity edged up slightly in January but still showed contraction for the 12th straight month. The Institute for Supply Management said its manufacturing index rose to 35.6 in January from an all-time low of 32.9 in December. Any reading below 50 indicates contraction in the sector.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrials average was down about 20 points in afternoon trading.
American families are struggling with an intensifying recession that's already the longest in a quarter-century. Overall economic growth plunged at an annual rate of 3.8 percent in the final three months of last year, the biggest quarterly decline since a 6.4 percent drop in the first quarter of 1982.
The hard times are being made more severe as consumers cut back sharply on their spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of total economic activity.
The savings rate for all of 2008 rose to 1.7 percent. While historically low, it is well above the savings rates of recent years when soaring home prices and a booming stock market made Americans feel more wealthy and less concerned about saving.
The savings rate had dipped to a low of 0.4 percent in 2005, the peak of the housing boom. That was the lowest annual savings rate in seven decades. Savings had turned negative during the depths of the Great Depression.
For December, the 1 percent drop in consumer spending represented the sixth straight decline, a stretch not seen since the government began keeping monthly records on incomes and spending a half-century ago.
Real consumer spending, which removes the impacts of price changes, dropped by 0.5 percent last month. The smaller drop reflects the impact of falling energy prices.

I'm bad at describing things but I'm going to do my best here.
I used to play a game called Planetside, perhaps some of you have heard of it. It features capture and hold gameplay primarily like we see in Warfare (the details are different, but the overall objectives are very much similiar).
A few weeks after the game's release, they introduced what they called Lattice Links... this means that in order to capture one base, you had to currently hold a base that was adjacent to it in the link. This helped to focus combat and make it more strategic instead of just a zerg fest to every possible base you could get your hands on. While it may not be seen as being more realistic by any means, it made a huge and positive increase in the level of combat between bases as there would be a push between two bases as one army attempted to reach it.
Picture: http://planetside.st.../manual/map.jpg
The colored circles are the bases, color designate which of the 3 armies own it. The links between them show the route in which the bases must be taken. A yellow link is contested between your army and another, grey is a contested link between two other armies, and a red/blue/purple link is a solid link between two of that army's bases.
The Lattice Link had many forks where by taking one base you could reach 2 more bases. This presented some options for each army's commander. While this effectively funneled the overall strategy of the game to a certain point, I felt it made the general combat of the game MUCH more interesting as people fought over not just cities, but strategic geographic locations that made it easier to defend bases or assault bases from.
So, a suggestion would be to add such links, obviously leaving the ability to disable them up to the players/server admins upon the mission load.
Lattice Links?

I have a 2005 Mercury Monrego Premier AWD w/ the CVT transmission. I have owned it for 5000 miles. I love the car and had no problems until I started it one night and had only idle, no acceraltion or would it shift into gear. The check transmission light came on. After several tries my husband got it to go into gear if he shifted while turning the ignition switch to start. We then could put in in reverse or drive but it wouldn't go much over 30-35 mph. We have had it to a dealer with no results other than telling us they put in a different transmission for $5600 and no guarantees that that is the absolute problem. We now have it at a transmission specialist who is trying to figure it out. My personal belief it that it is some kind of sensor or electrical issue. It's been 1 month since this all started and still no answers or car to drive!!

ANSWER by dandd , March 25, 2011
When the dealership replaced the transmission, there should have been a guarantee that the car was properly repaired, not just a guess! Contact Consumer Assistance Indiana State Government. You have rights, use them!!
ANSWER by DaveJM , March 25, 2011
Katsarnold, Unfortunately, there are very few specialists for this CVT unit, as Ford only offered it for 3 years, and did not provide much training for the unit to technicians at dealerships. Having been involved in a few Ford shops, I can tell you that most transmission specialists at the dealerships are less inclined to be very familiar with them. Couple this with the fact that there are very few units out there in operation, and you have a perfect storm, if you will. I can tell you that the CVT's are largely trouble free in these vehicles. So that's one point. Your concern sounds exactly like an electronic throttle body failure. This is extremely common with this vehicle. You will even get the same warning light -- the wrench light -- for this concern. I am unclear as to why a transmission concern was theorized - except that there were probably failure codes in the processor for it. So, my armchair diagnosis may be indeed wrong. They didn't make YOU pay the $5600, did they?! Good luck.
COMMENT by Visitor , March 26, 2011
I walked away from the total transmission choosing instead to search for another answer. You are the second online answer that came up with the electronic throttle body! Now I'm taking that to my local mechanic and starting there. Thanks
COMMENT by DaveJM , March 26, 2011
Yes, yes yes. Glad you did not drop the money on a guess. Now, there are some possibilities with the CVT, like the "mechatronic assembly" which can be a kind of catch all for electrical / mechanical concerns. But even it is expensive and a gamble. The dealer you dealt with merely guessed at the transmission based on your concern and a lack of expertise. Good decision on your part. My only problem is -- a statement on your message center that said "CHECK TRANSMISSION" would not be a throttle body...
COMMENT by Visitor , March 29, 2011
Ok here's a real kicker. I went to get it from the tranmission place to take it back to my mechanic so he can explore the possibility of the electronic throttle body. When I drove it the 5 miles to my mechanic there was NO problems at all! It accelerated and the transmission was perfect! It ran as if there was never a problem! NOW what to do?? My mechanic is still going to check out the throttle body.
COMMENT by DaveJM , March 29, 2011
Well, intermittent problems are a reality with electrical components. Could be transmission related, could be throttle body related. You may need to drive it a bit until the problem occurs, even though I know that's inconvenient...

An insightful Reuters blog by financial journalist Felix Salmon suggests that Apple's surprisingly low share price may be due to the evolving nature of the company leaving it between two sets of investors.
Conservative investors, who like slow-growing stocks with high dividends, are constitutionally uncomfortable with the volatility inherent in the tech world. And technology investors, who are happy taking that kind of risk, want to see substantial growth. Apple, notwithstanding the fact that it's one of the most valuable companies in the world, is falling through the capital-markets cracks.
Apple always used to be the company which surprised and delighted investors and customers alike. Its guidance to investors was deliberately pessimistic, blowing through those figures when it reported actual revenue and earnings. It was notoriously secretive about new products, launching new ones in a playful manner with Steve Jobs' famous 'One more thing' moments… expand full story

We are having our 3rd little girl. My DH likes the name Lainey and I like Brylee. But I am stuck on a middle name for either one. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Which do you like better? Lainey or Brylee?
middle name for baby girl
Robin & Dave 7/94
Proud parents to Kelsea LeeAnn 3/22/93, Abigail Paige 11/28/95 and expecting our 3rd girl Brylee Grace 8/28/09
I think Elizabeth would work for either
also- It seems like whatever name you choose for Brylee needs to start with E or A so it flows well like, Brylee Elizabeth, Elaine, I don't know that i sjust my opinio
Im not that crazy about elizabeth but I do like Elise or Dawn but I was afraid brylee dawn would be too much like early dawn.....I saw the name alani but I wasnt sure how to pronounce it
Robin & Dave 7/94
Proud parents to Kelsea LeeAnn 3/22/93, Abigail Paige 11/28/95 and expecting our 3rd girl Brylee Grace 8/28/09
What are your daughters' names?
Of the two, Lainey is my favorite. I slightly prefer the Laney spelling, but could go either way on the spelling.
Have you considered Brynn? Brynn Laney would be cute.
Now for middle name ideas:
Lainey Taylor
Lainey Kate
Lainey Brianne
Lainey Jade
Lainey Claire
Lainey Brooke
Brylee Lane
Brylee Janae
Brylee Kendall
Brylee Addison
Brylee Harper
Brylee Makiah
Best wishes.
I like Brylee better. For middle names, maybe...
Brylee Rose
Brylee Kate
Brylee Jane
Kecia (24) and James (29) -- TTC a Rainbow Baby!
Lost our 1st at 6 1/2 wks...just too beautiful for Earth!
Do you have any family names you might use or names with special significance - even your maiden name?
Of the two, I like Lainey but prefer Delaney, nn Laney. I also like Brynlee much better than Brylee (nn Bryn or Brynn).
Jaime, mom to Norah ('06), Lucy ('08) and Henry ('11). Baby #4 due mid-August 2016 - it's a girl!
I like Lainey better than Brynlee any day of the week!! BUT, I wouldn't personally use either b/c they are way too nicknamey. I think nn's are great for kids and the casual life of an adult, but when she's a professional, it's always a good idea to have a more formal name to go by.
Lainey can be a nn for Alana, Elena, Elaine, Delana, Helena, Marlena, and so on.
"Follow your own path and let people talk." ~ Dante
I really like Lainey... (I don't care for Brylee though)
Lainey Rose
Lainey Charlotte
Lainey Frances
Lainey Louise
Lainey Victoria
Lainey Alexandra
Lainey Julianne
Lainey Noelle
Lainey Camille
Lainey Janel(le)
Lainey Brielle
- Victoria, Favourite Aunt to δ, φ, & η.
(ex "-Sarah Jane" way back when...)
I have a 4 year old girl named Madeline Elise, I love the name and it just fit her perfectly. I think Elise goes well with either of the names you are leaning toward as well. Good luck I too am struggling to decide on names, my husband doesn't really like any of the names that I really do. I love love love the name Sage, but haven't found the right name to go with it. I also like Delilah a lot as a fn.
Lainy but Delainy the best if you aren't tottally set on Lainy. NN Lain is very cute
Lainy Sophia
Lainy Grace
Lainy Belle
Lainy Brynn

Just saw this frame on ebay. What is up with this funky frame?
i don't know, but i've always been a fan of curved seat tubes and triple triangle... and especially of combinations of the two. looks cool.
the welds aren't exactly anything to write home about but they aren't bad. never heard of the "company"... another ebay brand i suppose.
This is pretty nice, I would get this ....
I kinda like it. Reminds me of geekhouse.
If I had 400 to spend on a frame, this would probably be a contender

recent study by the San
Jose Mercury News shows that at Stanford, cheating in
computer science classes account for 22% of the university's total
honor code violations, despite accounting for only 7% of student
enrollment. The tendency to cheat that seems to
cultivate within the computer science department is most likely a
function of how easy it is to "borrow" code. The problem that
cheaters are facing, however, is that plagiarism in a code is just as
easy to detect as it is to perform. Professor Roberts, who wrote a
paper on strategies of using technology in the teaching of ethics
explains, "There is a perception that cheating is going to be a lot
harder to detect than they think it is going to be. Programs are
idiosyncratic as sentences and no two are alike - they are not even
comparable if they are independently generated. It's particularly
easy to detect if they've been copied."
computer science department at Stanford utilizes a computerized
screening software to detect potential plagiarism. The software scans
student's code and compares it with other students' and assignments
from previous years.Despite the eminent threat of being
detected that this device exudes, students within the department
continue to cheat. One student that was caught cheating recently
explained that " [he] wasn't even thinking of how easy it would be
... to be caught."One Stanford computer science student
suggests that the high occurrence of cheating within the department
is due to non-computer science majors students in lower level
classes. He points out that, "If you look at intro classes versus
upper-level classes, there is a higher incidence of cheating people
that are not CS majors — the ones that are new to the field and
potentially find themselves being in a situation where they can't
handle the assignment. People arrive at Stanford with the same
expectations as they had in high school."
the cause for cheating, Stanford professors such as Dr. Roberts have
decided to step up their game in an attempt to deter the tendency to
plagiarize. He as employed what he describes as a "collective
incentive" for students to maintain honesty, by threatening to add
5 weight percent points to the final exam for every honor code
violation in his class. The outcome of this is that each
cheating incident contributes to a scenario in which the whole class
must face increased pressure on the final exam. Whether or not fear
of fellow classmates is a more effective deterrent than disciplinary
action remains to be seen, however, one thing should be clear to
students: professors are taking cheating matters seriously and will
continue to step up their game until it is no longer an issue.
quote: Programmers need to focus on what can be put together quickly to meet the requirements, not so much on what. Most of the what already exists out there in many cases.
quote: It's called code-reuse. And in instances such as this: clip-board inheritance.
quote: The art of becoming a great programmer is being able to tweak and format that borrowed code and remembering them.
quote: If the threat against cheating was just that the final was weighted higher, I'd cheat until my final was worth 100%, then ace the final, like I have every other. Their system is just stupid.

I'm totally late this week with my RuPaul's Drag Race recap probably because I'm so deflated from the end of this season that I might've just given up completely. My favorite doesn't stand a chance to win so why bother right?
As in previous years the final three had lunch with Ru (Tic Tacs…yet again. New shtick please), a sit down with Gloria Allred, they had to film a court scene playing three different characters (another acting challenge), and film RuPaul's new video for "Beginning."
Confession time. With exception to only a couple of episodes, I haven't really been watching Season 5 of RuPaul's Drag Race. The only way I keep up to date with everything is from Tommy's weekly interviews with the eliminated queen. Based on his level of excitement for the phone call and line of questioning, I can pretty much figure what transpired. After watching this brilliant fan video, I'm making it a priority to watch the fabulousness that is Alyssa Edwards.
B. Ames remixed all of Alyssa's memorable quotes from this season and created an awesome little track called "Drop Dead Gorgeous." Keeping it real, it's a lot catchier than most of the produced singles by former Drag Race contestants. Props to Matthew Bell as well for editing such an entertaining music video.
It's easy to see why Alyssa Edwards is a fan favorite. With her hilarious facial expressions and even more hilarious one-liners, this woman is reality gold. It's no wonder, a rumored spinoff is in the works. RuPaul even brought Edwards with him for the MTV Movie Awards last week. When questioned why Ru invited Alyssa, he sent a tweet seemingly confirming Alyssa's show. Check out "Drop Dead Gorgeous" below. I guarantee you'll love it.
Oh Detox. One of my favorites in the world Detox. I have been a fan of hers since forever ago. I absolutely love her because shes original and creative, doesn't give a crap and just stays true to herself.
We gabbed about the "bullying" nonsense from Monday's RuPaul's Drag Race episode, her hardest challenge and her team up with Willam and Vicky Vox. Detox is so ridiculously fierce but I personally don't think she was represented well on the show. That's my opinion and it's the right one #sorryboutit!
Take a listen below, and we will be seeing more of Detox at the reunion!
The gorgeous people at World of Wonder have sent ME (and Homorazzi of course) an exclusive look at the next RING MY BELL! Seriously they haven't even posted it. #sofamous
If you don't know what RMB is, it's a chance for you to call in and ask a question to your favorite WOWlebrities. Raven, Yara, Willam, Gloria Shuri Nava and now Santino have all cut clips and they are hysterical. In Santino's clip he talks about why he doesn't dress Ru, and about a new feature they should implement in Season 6 of RuPaul's Drag Race?
What would you have asked Santino? I know I would've just called and screamed SHAKE THE DICE AND STEAL THE RICE *click*. How funny would that be?!? Take a look at the video below,
I don't think there has ever been such a huge amount of opinion regarding an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race as there is about last night's episode. I'm not going to talk about the show because I already did in my review. What I want to do is post Roxxxy Andrew's reaction to the episode last night.
Here it is:
FINAL FOUR! Did you guess right? I TOTALLY DID! Roxxxy, Jinkx, Detox and Alaska! KAPOW!
The final four- as in every season- have to do a mini pageant, and this season it was the SUGAR BALL! Each of the queens had to make 3 looks:
This was Roxxxy's challenge to lose 100%. I said it last week, and I totally believed it right up until the end of the episode. Alaska was doing well, but she was having trouble with her candy couture: it kept breaking apart. Detox was struggling, as I feel she has been all season and I still don't know why. Honestly, Detox is FIERCE, but girl, sometimes you just done have it. And, then there's Jinkx, oh poor poor Jinkx. This episode was just a a plain ol' mess for her from the antlers, to the skirt to the unrealized looks. Jinkx was definitely in over her head on this challenge, which was sadly unsurprising because I totally knew this was coming. And, now for the point of the entire episode: has Jinkx just been lucky this season? Roxxxy and Detox seem to think so, and I can't say that I disagree.
I totally party fouled guys! I totally missed my Wednesday interview with Coco and had to do it yesterday which is why we are a day late. WHOOPS! At least we got something. The most polarizing cast member this season of RuPaul's Drag Race, I chatted with Coco about her mutual respect for Alyssa Edwards, what she though her hardest challenge was, her Vegas show and which queen she thought was her biggest competition.
Take a listen below and come back on Tuesday to see my thoughts on the newest episode!
Interview after the jump…
It's the makeover episode! I guess this season we have the family member, it's not really specific as to what family member with the made over partners because we got a wide array of ages right? Let's start at the beginning shall we?
The Mini Challenge this week was working out with boobs or something. I find it so pointless when they do challenges like this, I have no idea what it has to do with anything but whatever. So the winner of the mini challenge was Alaska. After her win we find out who the queens are making over, and it's OUT ARMY VETS! DADT was repealed so that is what they latched onto this year. I LIVED for these army queens honestly, so so so funny. Some of them were just SUCH queens like the one Detox got paired up with. Honey she just wanted to get into some pumps as soon as she good (CHECK YOUR DRAG DETOX!!!)

Nice to meet you. I am a Clydesdale. 6'2" 280 lbs. Cycling is a passion to me. Although I am a big man, I am a climber at heart.
Short long story about me. I got into mountain biking in the 90s during my senior year of high school. Growing up in the Southern California I quickly grew fond of the San Gabriel Mountains. In doing so, I lost about 50 lbs and got into the best shape of my life. I then left to the military and was stationed overseas. I slowly but surely and gained all the weight back. Last year I peaked at 325 lbs. It scared me that I had gone over 300.
There were many factors that went into why I had gotten so heavy (job loss, depression, drinking, etc...). I had sold most of my bikes by then as I was hardly riding them, including a 90s Litespeed with full Campy. While being completely out of shape, I still rode once in a while. I still kept up with the pro peleton every year and wrenched on anyone's bike that needed help. I got dragged on a few mountain bike 40 mile plus rides that I have no idea how I managed to finish. Anyway, some time in 2008, I bought a 1985 Bridgestone that I bought with hopes of turning into a grocery/beer run bike with a basket. I did turn into that and would even use it to get to the bar. One night (after many things started to line up in my life again) I decided to go on a night ride. I went riding, saw a hill and decided to give it the old try. It was not very long or steep but it still hurt. I surprised myself at how well I got up there. My small chain ring was a 42.
So After that, I decided I was going to ride 3 times a week for a couple weeks and see how it goes. I then bumped it to 4 times a week, couple weeks later I was at 5 and then a month after that, bam I was riding 6 times a week! All of a sudden I found myself in love with my bike again. The old bridgestone felt like an old friend. I have modernized it since then with a compact crankset a new wheelset. I have been dropping weight pretty steadily since May, about 1-2 pounds per week. I hit a wall and picked up running. So now, I ride about 3 times a week and run 3 times a week, alternating my days. I have lost a total of 45 pounds so far, going from 325 to 280. My goal is another 55. Funny thing. I see some threads where people say good bye. I will still be a clydesdale by the time I lose 100 lbs, lol. I calorie count and watch my protein intake. The protein has made a huge difference in my strength. My beer intake is also very low now. It is true what everyone says, consistency is the most important part.
Climber at heart. Most of my riding involves going up some kind of hill. I actually dislike just spinning along on the flats. It is nauseating to me. This is my main climb, the same one I used to do when I was 19. Doing it about twice a week right now.
I have other big goals in mind, but for now it is one step at a time. I have already hit a few "first time in years" moments, like riding in the rain and going for a ride at 5 am.

Canon 300D only gets top of image
Got a 300D on ebay; I bought it cheap because the owner claimed it gave a 99 code; I only wanted it for the vertical grip. So, I'm happy 'cause I now have the grip and it works fine. But I figured I'd play and see if the 300D could be made to work. I don't get an error code, but any card I put in shows 999 for exposures, and the screen shows only the top 15-25% of the photo. I'm guessing it's toast and will just toss it back on ebay to see what I can get, but I'm curious what it might be....
