Biochemistry of Development
My laboratory is interested in the biochemical and genetic factors that control early embryonic development. We have been working with two unique biological systems, umbilical cord stem cells and the brine shrimp Artemia ( your garden variety "sea monkey"). We have been using the stem cells to study neuron development. In particular, we are focused on an enzyme known as butyrylcholinesterase. While the exact biochemical function of this enzyme is unknown, we have shown that the enzyme is expressed during the early stages of neural tissue formation. Our current experiments are designed to determine the cellular location of the protein and the factors that control its expression. A better understanding of the role of this enzyme in normal neuron development should provide insights into the biochemical mechanisms associated with neurological problems such as Alzheimer's disease and autism.
We have been using Artemia to study nuclear glycosylation and how this posttranslational modification may be involved in regulating gene transcription. Using LC MS/MS, we have shown that histone H1 exists in several different glycosylated isoforms. We are interested in identifying the actual structural differences between isoforms and the enzymes responsible for the modification. We ultimately are interested in how changes in glycosylation of histone H1influence gene transcription (epigenetics).
Biochemical Toxicology
We have shown that di-n-butylphthalate (DBP), a common plasticizer and well documented environmental contaminant, is a substrate for butyrylcholinesterase. Bis-phenol A (BPA), another commonly used plasticizer, is a reversible inhibitor of this enzyme. As such, both of these compounds are toxic to developing neurons, i.e., they prevent the enzyme from performing its normal biological function. We are suggesting that a possible mechanism for the dramatic increase in autism may be due to exposure to these (or structurally similar) environmental contaminants during early neuron development. We are working to develop a better understanding of how these plasticizers interact with butyrylcholinesterase.
Heavy metals have also been implicated in a number of neurodegenerative diseases. As such, we are looking at the effects of heavy metals on neuron development. We are particularly interested in effects of thimerosal, a mercury based preservative used in flu vaccine.
Butyrylcholinesterase Inhibitors as a Therapeutic for Alzheimer's Disease.
Normal neural function is dependent on the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. In Alzheimer's patients, brain butyrylcholinesterase activity is elevated; this results in a lower than normal level of acetylcholine. The consequence is loss of cognitive function. Along with Dr. Nakayama, we are trying to develop a class of butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors that would increase brain levels of acetylcholine and return of cognitive function in Alzheimer's patients. The clinical implications of this research is enormous.
Environmental Chemistry
We have cloned the gene for a novel metal binding protein known as metallothionein from Artemia. This protein has the unique ability to selectively bind toxic and precious heavy metal, e.g., mercury, uranium, gold, and silver. We have patented a technology using this protein for water purification or environmental clean-up applications. We are now working to produce a prototype "heavy metal sponge". Students working on this project will gain experience in commercial, real life applications of basic research.

I'd like previousely unreleased songs, like No Roads Left and Across The Line were... But the idea of re-recording the Xero tape with Chester is awesome...
- Many Newer Demos [(Heavy) MTM; ATS; LT]
- Blackbirds
- Alternative Version of Somewhere I Belong
- Rolling In The Deep (Adele Cover) [Live @ iTunes Festival 2011]
- Maybe LeaveOutAllTheRest/ShadowOfTheDay/Iridescent Medley [Live 2012]

I'd like to see:
-Hybrid theory & Meteora demos
-Heavy MTM demos
-Living things demos
Man, if Pictureboard is anything like Coal, then fuck that. Adam said it was nothing special too. Watching again the MTM Making Of I caught glimpse of "Song 72"'s piano part. That shit is crazy. I want that. And even if it's like Fear at least throw a couple of tracks with mumbles on it, not bare instrumentals like Bang Three, lol.
I don't really think there will be a lot of LT demos, because their process is much different nowadays, with the quicker releases, and I think they insteed of just throwing away the songs that didn't make it onto the album will continue to work on them. Just like Powerless was a demo on ATS, and you can see that the are writing lyrics to a demo called Primo in the Inside Living Things video, and that was also a demo on ATS. Still it would be awesome with LT demos!

Address : Indonesia , 86685, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Lembata, Wulandoni (Wulandioni), Lamalera
Lamalera located on the south coast of the Lembata island province of East Nusa Tenggara. Currently Lembata island has become its own district before joining the East Flores Regency. Before it lies a fairly malignant Sawu Sea. Was long known as Lamalera fishing community, and traditional whaling.
Before the hunting season, the Lamalera village has a tradition or culture whaling which is held annually customary to invoke the blessings of the ancestors and to recall the spirit of their ancestors who died in the field of Maritime wrestling with the pope. Ceremony, or commonly called lefa held every May 1.
In his official whaling took place in May-November, but not infrequently also the month from December to April Lamalera fishermen keep doing commercial whaling when whales pass through the waters of the Sawu Sea. It is not meant to violate the customs that have been in charge, in which the months are the months of hunting Lamalera named or referred to baleo.

A fourm for the posting of Roller Derby Memories and questions of skaters.
We may need more seating for dinner
Food again. It's delicious and plentiful. Old friendships are renewed and new ones formed during dinner. Looking around the room I see Jerry Seltzer, Mike Gammon, Barbara Baker, Jan Vallow, Harlean Khein, Cliff Butler, Darnay McPherson, Nick Scopas, Sherry Erich, Pauline Kadyra, Sue Cola, Ron Turbin, Annis Jensen, Mary Youpelle, Carol Meyer, Delores Tucker, Myrna Vandenberg, Maverick Howard, Stu Ganz, Bert Wall, Bobbie Mateer and Judy Arnold. I know I am leaving people out and I apologize.
Finally, it's time. Gary welcomes everyone and talks a bit about the Roller Derby Foundation and the National Roller Derby Hall of Fame before introducing Jerry Seltzer.
Jerry Seltzer is one classy gentleman. He pulls no punches and tells it like it is. He begins with, "In 1973, we (Roller Derby) went broke." It was as simple as that. It was as complicated as that. Jerry speaks glowingly of the Roller Derby Foundation and the Hall of Fame. Tonight means as much, if not more, to him as it does to us
Next up is Keith Coppage with remembrances of Roller Derby, Kezar and the Bay Bombers. Like so many of us Keith thought he had the Derby out of his system once and for all. He found out he was wrong. Once bitten by the Roller Derby bug, it never lets you go. It's best to just go with it and enjoy the ride.
Gary again takes the podium and begins announcing the names of this year's Hall of Fame inductees who are no longer with us or simply could not be with us tonight: Sid Harnesk and Kitty Nehls are gone. Terri Lynch and Freddie Noa live in Hawaii and were unable to make the trip to San Francisco. Ronnie Rains simply could not be located. Their careers are highlighted and each receives a round of sincere applause.
The next Hall of Fame award goes to Russ Massro. Gary asks Bert Wall to say a few words about Russ who passed away in July. Mary Youpelle Massro and her family accept the award for Russ Massro. It means so much to all of us to have the Massro family here tonight.
Next is Barbara Mateer Wall, a veteran of seventeen years on the banked track. She is as beautiful as ever and husband Bert beams with pride as she accepts her Hall of Fame award. She can still hold a crowd in the palm of her hand just like she did when she would swish her ponytail around to the delight or the chagrin of the fans.
In the 'Sixties, 'Seventies and into the 'Eighties, Carol Meyer and Tony Roman were two of the reasons that I loved the Derby. They made it more fun and exciting with their presence. Tony died on Christmas Eve, 1988. Earlier in the evening I watched as Carol, the kids and the grandchildren stood in front of posters featuring her husband, their father and grandfather. The love still shows in their eyes. Carol and the entire family go up to accept on behalf of Carol and Tony. Carol's first words, "I wanted this for Tony so much more than for myself . . ." After that it's all a blur because I am trying not to cry.
Jan Vallow is the last skater to accept membership in the Hall of Fame this evening. She has been an absolute delight. A proud mother, grandmother and great-grandmother; her entire family is here tonight. Last night she even shared two of her trademark moves with some of us: lifting the opposing jammer onto her hip and dropping her over the rail and hanging from the track held up only by one skate hooked on the rail.

Marianna - After a year of record high electricity bills, Marianna customers may soon get some relief from Florida Public Utilities.
FPU officials announced Monday the company has requested a rate decrease from the Florida Public Service Commission.
The company is blaming this year's higher rates on abnormal weather temperatures, fuel costs and environmental regulations incurred by their supplier, Gulf Power.
But some believe the problem lies in the contract between the two companies.
Florida Public Utilities officials announced Monday it is seeking a rate decrease from the Florida Public Service Commission.
The rate adjustment would go into effect January 1st, 2011 and would decrease customers bills by roughly 3%.
The announcement comes almost a year after FPU instituted a 13.8% rate hike on Marianna customers.
"We had the lowest rate in the state for year after year after year, significantly lower than any other utility in the state," says President Jeff Householder.
The rate increase, combined with record freezing temperatures, caused many residential bills to skyrocket hundreds of dollars.
"The point we're trying to get across here is that we think we've seen the worst of this, sort of a perfect storm event if you will, that we're past all that and the costs are beginning to go down."
Householder cites roughly 75% of a residential electric bill comes from purchased power costs.
FPU purchases their power supply from Gulf Power.
"This is a fuel issue for us, not an operating cost issue, we're still operating this utility at very low cost, very efficiently, as low as anybody else in the state," he says.
But Marianna City Manager Jim Dean and Executive Director of Jackson County's Development Council, Bill Stanton, argue the issue lies in the contract between FPU and Gulf Power.
"The disparity between the ten year average and what we're paying today as compared to the Gulf Power rates is just you know, overwhelming, it just is not reasonable. Jackson County-Marianna is a low-income area, the predominant number of people in this community that are low and very low income is very high," says Dean.
Householder says the company is currently negotiating its contract with Gulf Power and anticipates another rate decrease depending on the outcome.
FPU officials say they are also formulating an economic development rate for new businesses.

Long live the queens: 20 years of Priscilla
Twenty years since it first hit the big screen and Priscilla continues to inspire and enthral, writes Colin Fraser.
A lot of people hang off Priscilla's technicolour party frock. From iconic hotels in Sydney's inner west to misguided fancy dress parties across the country (indeed, the world), men continue to wrap themselves in the warm embrace of a feather boa and belt out (with varying degrees of success) disco classics. Some made a career out of it, others built their empire around it. But whichever way you look at it, milk still pours from the giving cash cow that is The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
WATCH: Ten best moments of Priscilla
It starts like a bad joke – two drag queens and a transexual drive into the desert – yet the film touched a nerve with audiences gay and straight. Twenty years on and Priscilla still resonates.
"At the end of the day, Priscilla had a very simple message of tolerance," said writer/director Stephan Elliott. "The effect it had was massive, it really touched on something I didn't expect. I still get masses of fan mail from people all over the world who say how much the film means to them."
Not that Elliott set out to tell this story exactly. At the time he was looking for an excuse to make a musical and in the aftermath of Mardi Gras, it hit him.
"We were all completely trashed walking up Oxford Street and there was this mass of feathers which had blown off a drag queen's head." Like tumble weed in a Sergio Leone western, it rolled down the street and Elliott had his eureka! moment. "It's in the movie, you can see this mass of feathers rolling through the desert. And at that moment I suddenly said to myself, 'drag queens in the desert'. Bingo! A couple of weeks later all the pieces hit and I chucked down the script."
Of course, drag bars aren't the only one to wrestle undue mileage out of Priscilla. While The Palace Hotel in Broken Hill has more than one tumbleweed of its own rolling down the corridor (business is seldom brisk), the owner's still trade on the memory of celluloid's most retina damaging moment. Mario's gaudy paintings that dominate the hotel were a stunning counterpoint to a man in a dress made of thongs and while the townsfolk 'don't like your sort', actually, they do. The DVD is still on sale in reception, The Priscilla Queen Ensuite is a snip at $195 a night (sleeps five).
And let's not forget Elliott's own hands that were firmly on the milking machine. After Priscilla, a near-death skiing accident jolted him out of self-imposed early retirement to focus on what he loved most: music. The result: Priscilla: The Musical. "It didn't stop me," he said of the accident. "It woke me up. You can do a lot on morphine" he added with a smirk. "I don't remember any of my mid-life crisis, apparently I was spectacular."
Priscilla: The Musical was also a spectacular success. It opened to rapturous reviews in 2006 with the famous, battered bus now on a revolve and costumes re-imagined by the Oscar winning duo of Tim Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner. The show soon moved to Melbourne, New Zealand then London with Jason Donovan who, ironically, had turned down the original film role. Next stop for Priscilla was a two year run on Broadway before she headed home and, appropriately, into the outback. The bus, now with a 360 degree swivel and scissors lifts, was donated to the city of Broken Hill. "When I did the maths, I realised that almost half the film was shot there," said Elliott.
The irony is that Elliot's career was launched by a film no one wanted him to make. "The studio's love Priscilla, they adore Priscilla. But [at the time] no one would touch it with a 50 foot pole. It's a perfect Catch-22: they won't let you try to do it, but love you because you did."
A special 20th anniversary screening of Priscilla will be held on Thursday, August 14, at Dendy Newtown. Starts 6pm, film 6.45pm. After party at the Imperial Hotel, Erskineville. Tix $25 from dendy.com.au.

City of Wilmington Hosts Building Communities of Trust Initiative Roundtable
Posted on 02/26/2014 10:38 am
On Tuesday, February 25th, the City of Wilmington hosted the Building Communities of Trust (BCOT) Initiative roundtable discussion, where local law enforcement agencies, members of the area federal fusion center and community members gathered to discuss effective strategies to better engage communities to support local police agencies.
The BCOT initiative began in mid-2009 as a pilot project with roundtable discussions with community members and representatives from law enforcement and fusion centers in Miami, Boston, Austin, and Seattle. The feedback from those sessions resulted in the development of guidance for local police agencies and fusion centers on building relationships with residents of culturally diverse neighborhoods that often do not have strong collaborative relationships with law enforcement.
"Forming trust-based relationships between the local community and law enforcement agencies is critical to the growth and development of our neighborhoods. Hosting this roundtable discussion with various federal agencies, local law enforcement and community members will hopefully foster new relationships that will lead to the building of strong neighborhoods throughout the City of Wilmington," said Mayor Dennis P. Williams.
The knowledge about communities that comes from trust-based relationships between law enforcement and the local community is critical, because it allows law enforcement officers and analysts to distinguish between innocent cultural behaviors and behavior indicative of criminal activity.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, in collaboration with the Office of the Program Manager, Information Sharing Environment; the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services; and the U.S. Attorney's Office, has been working to implement the BCOT initiative to help develop relationships of trust among police agencies, fusion centers, and the communities they serve, particularly immigrant and minority communities, so that the challenges of crime control and prevention of terrorism can be addressed.
To date, roundtables have been held in 15 major cities, which led to the development of a second guidance for community leaders, providing information on how they can better engage their communities to support the efforts of law enforcement. Additional roundtable sessions are currently being held throughout the country, and will include representatives from the community at large, as well as representation from local law enforcement agencies.
"As we work to build strong neighborhoods throughout the City of Wilmington I understand that strong relationships are the foundation on which strong neighborhoods are built. Information exchange is crucial in establishing trust and developing those relationships. I am excited to sit at the table with other law enforcement agencies and community leaders to begin this information sharing process that will strengthen our neighborhoods," said Interim Chief of Police, Bobby Cummings.
This session was hosted jointly by the area fusion center and a local law enforcement agency. Civic association leaders and community activists were also invited to attend.

Team Penske announced today that Ryan Blaney will expand his racing schedule in 2014. Blaney will take the wheel of a NASCAR Nationwide Series car for 15 races in 2014 starting at Bristol Motor Speedway on March 22nd. He will also make his Sprint Cup Series debut at Kansas Speedway in May driving the No. 12 SKF Ford Fusion for the organization.
"I am excited to continue my racing career with Team Penske," said Blaney, who's earned one win, two top-five and eight top-10 finishes in 10 starts behind the wheel of the No. 22 over the last two years. "I'm really looking forward to racing more in the Nationwide Series and it will be a dream come true for me to race in the Sprint Cup Series. I want to thank Roger Penske, our team sponsors and everyone at Team Penske for this opportunity and for believing in me."
Blaney has already been to victory lane in the NASCAR Nationwide Series following a victory at Kentucky Speedway in 2013.
In addition to the increased NASCAR Nationwide schedule and two races in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (Kansas Speedway & Talladega Super Speedway), Blaney will continue his quest for a driver's championship in the Camping World Truck Series. He will drive the No. 29 Cooper Standard Ford F-150 for Brad Keselowski in 2014. Blaney has amassed two career wins in the Camping World Truck Series alongside 16 top-10 finishes in 28 Truck Series starts.
"We believe Ryan is one of the most promising young drivers in NASCAR and we want to continue his growth and development with Team Penske," said team owner Roger Penske. "Ryan's win at Kentucky in the No. 22 car last year showed what he is capable of and we hope to experience many more moments in Victory Lane with him in the coming seasons."
(Quotes from Ryan Blaney and Roger Penske are from the press release issued by Team Penske on 1/29/2014)

Winding DownDublin, Summer 2011
With now less than 2 weeks left in Ireland, there's a general feeling of bated breath. For many of us, we're ready to just stick our heads in our books and work away the final days. For others its a wild frenzy of trying to pack even more in, lamenting the things that they just simply could not see. I am straddling the camps, (though truth be told, my home sickness is rearing its head in full force lately). I'm glad that I still have weekend trips and day trips planned, but I definitely am ready to see home again as soon as possible. Living in a different country for six weeks is an interesting time frame. You're here long enough to get tired of all the touristy attractions (seriously, after a certain point a castle's just a castle, and you can't put a clover on anything to call it Irish!) but six weeks also isn't long enough to truly feel like a local. I'm personally glad that I only came for a month and a half, because I don't think I could stay away from my loved ones much longer than that. I almost feel like four weeks would have been ideal, but I'm sure the six week mark is a hurdle that most full-semester students learn to cross and embrace wholeheartedly. While it would have been satisfying to head home a few days ago and race back into the arms of those I miss the most, I'm still glad I get those last remaining days to fully tick off the things I told myself I would see. I get to visit family friends in England this weekend, and I get to go see the Hill of Tara and New Grange burial site on a day trip in the last week. It will be an interesting last few days, for sure. Lots of finishing up projects, packing, cleaning, enjoying the company of the friends I've made, and embracing the places and habits I've become accustomed to in my short time here. The next time I bob my head back up, it will all be over.

Here we have My Chemcial Romance facing off against Black Veil Brides who are making their debut on FactPile.
I was able to get a preview copy of the latest Black Veil Brides album, "Wretched and Divine" and it was a "Theme" album similar to "The Black Parade" and "American Idiot" from Green Day.
This got me to thinking that of these two bands, which are better in your opinion?
1.) Overall body of work
2.) Music
3.) Stage presence
4.) Who will still be relevant in 5/10 years?

Do you feel as if you child has reached all of the developmental milestones for communication? Do you have concerns about his or her speech and the ability to verbally express his or her needs?
The questions listed below may help you evaluate your concerns:
If you answered "no" to either of these questions, your child may need to be evaluation by a speech-language pathologist. The evaluation would determine if there is a problem that could benefit from therapy with a speech-language pathologist.
A speech-language pathologist (also know as a speech therapist), has specialized post-college training and education to focus on an individual's ability to communicate functional needs. Speech therapists use a variety of means to help patients improve their communication skills, such as:
Communication challenges can affect children's speech, language, and voice. Some reasons that children participate in speech therapy include:
Every child is unique, and infants and children develop at different rates. Your child may normally develop faster or more slowly. In general, listed here are some of the milestones your child should reach within the approximate time frame.

I thought my Newton was a great little device, even with it's decidedly odd take on my handwriting. But the author is right– without wi-fi, there just wasn't a lot you needed one for. I miss you, Newton!
Kyle writes, "The Volt is a fully open source, arduino-based, handmade analog clock that tells time with meters. Available in a DIY install kit, 2 pre-made models, and a mix & match hardware option. The clocks are but with solid black walnut and maple, with faceplates produced in brass, copper, and steel. Only on Kickstarter!"

The surprising thing about the Thurriot article that Gruber links to is that it ignores the even earlier history of Microsoft's forays into pen computing. "Windows for Pen Computing" was an add-on for Win 3.1. XP Tablet edition came years later.
The unsurprising thing about the Thurriot article that Gruber links to is that it ignores the even earlier history of pen computing that Microsoft's products were derivatives of.
It may have only been a concept, but did you forget Apple's 1987 Knowledge Navigator?
I figured that, when you get into the realm of concepts, you might as well give Kay's Dynabook a nod and leave it at that.
Well played sir, well played.
Well, as far as I can remember, WiFi wasn't really common in the 1990s, so I don't really see that as a major issue. The fact that the Newton was a PDA that you couldn't put into a pocket always seemed to be the major problem. What good was an organizer that was nearly as difficult to lug around as a laptop?
I'm not even certain wi-fi existed. But when you were looking around for a phone outlet for your Newton's outboard modem, you wished for it!
I think his argument is that the Newton's design philosophy more or less required wireless, which didn't properly exist at the time, which is why it had trouble against palm.
Palm pilots were, explicitly and by design, extensions of your real computer. Drop it in the cradle, a little chunk of your desktop's state gets carved off and carried with you for perusal and manipulation, and then copied back when you return. This ended up hurting them later(even on the palmOS smartphones, and the later palm pilots with wifi, networking never really integrated very well with the experience); but it was a glaringly superior model for a time when wireless connectivity was somewhere between expensive and unavailable.
The Newton team's attempt to make a more or less freestanding device was arguably doomed because connectivity was not yet ready.
Eat up Martha?
Calling the Newton a "tablet" computer is like calling a Palm Pilot 3 a supercomputer. It's just the wrong term.
Newton was the right size when you were using it, but the wrong size when you weren't.
Tablet computing is one of those memes that comes up every decade or two, like Swine Flu. Acquired immunity doesn't transfer to each new generation.
I still have a Newton and a Newton keyboard(!) somewhere in my closet. It's not bad as a small computer, but Apple seemed to push it away from being something useful like a netbook, and towards being a proprietary dead-end.
It was kind of useful as a portable email device (via modem).
I almost had to whip out Big.
I thought the handwriting recognition "bugs" were a PLUS– great way to write surreal stories and poetry, write out your ideas and they got translated to weird madlib gibberish.
You're right. Wifi didn't hit the streets until 1998. The Newton was discontinued at the beginning of 1998. A lot of Gruber's comments are harsh since he hasn't understood the state of various technologies at that time. Lots of technologies we take for granted today weren't around back then. The first digital music player only hit the streets in 1998. The first iPod didn't come into being until 2001ish.
The Newton as I remember was kinda clunkly the battery did not last as long as expected. I had a couple of friends use them and it was great at short intervals once you worked out the handwriting interface. It was a stepping stone, the PDA's were able to excell in what the Newton could not do, handwriting recognition, portability with an adequate battery supply. If Apple had developed this technology during the rise of the PDA's we probably would be on tablets now.
I had a Newton MessagePad, then a TRGpro (a Palm III with a CF slot), then an Asus Pocket PC with WiFi and now an EeePC.
The MessagePad simply wasn't good enough at what it claimed to do and it was too big.
The TRGpro was really good at the things it did and it was small. As an interesting side note I've recently got it back into working order so I can have some fun taking photos with the old PalmPix digital camera.
The Pocket PC was used heaps more and for longer because of its WiFi and web browser. My mobile phone took over as my diary and to-do list, but a small device that can browse the web from anywhere in the house was useful for a long time.
My EeePC finally took over from the Pocket PC though. Having a tiny PC that runs a full-blown version of Windows XP gives me very nearly everything I need in a PC in a wonderfully portable package. I'm typing this very comment from it.

La Bodega - It's not fair to call this a chicken salad sandwich. With Cajun spices, corn, black beans and hot peppers barely held together by a grilled wrap, it doesn't even matter if you like chicken salad. You'll love this sandwich. It has enough spice to satisfy a craving but won't overwhelm those with sensitive palates. Info To Go » With an expansive assortment of sandwiches, subs and salads and ample vegetarian options, La Bodega isn't misnamed. When it started out eight years ago, it was just that: a tiny corner store that served much more than sandwiches. But they sold so many sandwiches, they ditched the dry goods and added seating.
Some roast beef sandwiches are too dry, but you'll never have that problem with this one, made with juicy slices of top round, a tangy and rich horseradish sauce, and provolone cheese melted on top. Info To Go » Grum's Sub Shoppe offers more than a dozen colorfully named hot and cold subs, such as the veggie-packed Gamooza Grum, salads and a French bread pizza. The place is named after original owner David Grumbach. Iline MacLellan bought the place and the recipes from him in late 2005. The Grum's spices — herbs that go on most of the subs — are a closely guarded trade secret, but MacLellan confirms the mix includes oregano.
Takeout salads can be a crapshoot, but the Courtyard Café always avoids the pitfall of limp or soggy greens. Its namesake Courtyard Salad piles turkey, ham, provolone, hard-boiled egg, mushrooms and red onions over always-crispy iceberg lettuce. You also have a choice of 10 house-made dressings. "There are no preservatives or stabilizers in any of these dressings ... just like you'd make at home," says owner Bob Bailey, adding that salads are one of his best-selling takeout options. Info To Go » Salads here come with either a warm, softball-size loaf of French bread or a huge muffin of the day. Both are great, but choose the muffin (which almost always runs out before close), and save it for tomorrow's breakfast.
This vegan soup at Souper Market is anything but light. Eating more like a stew, there's a different taste in each spoonful with big hunks of carrots, bell peppers, onion, kidney beans and red beans that won't all fit on the spoon at the same time. Info To Go » At least 10 other soups, all made from scratch, change each week. "If customers request a certain soup or certain type of soup, we listen to that. But we like to experiment, too," says sous chef Brandon Doles.
A flood of dressing can drown a good salad, but the Lebanese salata base (greens, diced veggies and parsley) tossed generously in Sittoo's lemon dressing has all the refreshing flavor without feeling weighed down. And with three nicely spiced falafel patties on top, it's a satisfying, light meal. Info To Go » Aladdin's Eatery owners Fady and Sally Chamoun opened Sittoo's in 2007 as an authentic Lebanese spot without Americanized dishes. From typical starters such as baba ghanoush to salad and pita sandwiches to entrees of spiced and marinated meats, it's all Middle Eastern flavors here. The Chamouns sold Sittoo's, meaning "grandma," to friends more than a year ago, but co-owner Grace Shahin says you'll still see pictures of Sally's sittoo and taste her recipes, including meat marinades and hummus from the Middle East.

So, Curse of Chucky is the first direct to Home Media/Video/DVD/Blu Ray (I'm just going to say Video, I don't mean VHS, just force of habit) entry into the series. As far as not going to theatres sequels go, it's not bad.
Originally after Seed of Chucky, which was the last of Chucky's attempts at being a dark horror comedy series, Don Mancini (director of Seed and writer of all of the Child's Play/Chucky series), wanted to do a remake. The commentary on certain scenes in the most recent DVD release of Child's Play talks about this. Brad Dourif actually does commentary acting as if he's Chucky on the commentary, it's pretty entertaining. They talk about a scene with a dentist in the remake, but I guess the funding never materialised. So they decided to go with a sequel.
So this is definitely a direct sequel to Seed of Chucky. The story is about Nica (played by Fiona Dourif, Brad Dourif's daughter) who receives a Good Guys doll in the mail (you can guess which one it is). Nica is a paraplegic and needs a wheelchair to get around. Nica and her mother live together, which leads to said mother dying in an accident... alright an 'accident'. Nica's sister and her family come to help Nica deal with things (mostly trying to get her to sell her house). People start meeting gruesome ends and chaos ensues.
So, Brad Dourif is awesome as Chucky. He has a couple of average one liners, but his dialogue is good for the most part. We see some flashbacks with Chucky as a human, which fits in nicely with the footage from Child's Play 1. One would think Mr. Dourif's age between the scenes would be noticeable, but they aren't (maybe because it's in black and white). Brad Dourif is an Oscar winner and was in Lord of the Rings, the man can act, so seeing him do anything is a treat.
Fiona Dourif does a good job. There have been far worse protagonists in Chucky movies. Originally she was going to be cast in a lesser role (since it was her father's role in the series that got her the role, but her performance was good enough to be cast as Nica - film commentary). A lot of the film is shot from her wheelchair vantage point and this puts her in a more believable situation, due to her killer is a possessed doll. She does use her feelingless legs in a really cool way at one point during the movie.
The animatronics are some of the best in the series. The only problem I have is that the doll that doesn't articulate (the default good guys doll), looks a little different than the one that you know is going to go on a killing spree, so it ruins the suspense sometimes. Speaking of suspense, this movie is like a House of Haunted Hill/Red Mask of Death type of film, people cut off from the outside world, having to survive the night.
The other actors aren't bad and play their roles well enough, but come on. They're Chucky fodder. I've seen a lot less thought put into slasher characters in movies I like, so having any real thought put into these characters is always welcome.
SPOILERS!!!! plus Nerd Continuity Stuff
So if you haven't seen the movie, but don't care about spoilers, here you go. Jennifer Tilly is in the movie as Tiffany. Well to be more specific, she's Tiffany in Jennifer Tilly's (the character based on the actress) body... if you remember, Tiffany met the actress that played her in Bride of Chucky & Seed of Chucky and transferred her soul into Tilly's body. The end result is that Tiffany looks like she did before Chucky put her into a doll. I'm not sure how this fits into the ending of Seed, with Chucky's arm grabbing Glen at the end, but I guess Tiffany (in Jennifer Tilly's body) got back with him or something. She was the one who mailed him to Nica's mom in the first place (deep breath).
Nica's father was killed by the human Charles Lee Ray and then he kidnapped her mom while she was pregnant with Nica. Nica's mom somehow calls the cops before the scene we see and that's when Lee Ray is killed, he's forced to put his soul into the Good Guys doll at the beginning of Child's Play 1, but not before stabbing the unborn Nica though her mom's belly. Chucky is the reason she is in a wheelchair. This connection adds another dimension to the movie. I'm glad Mancini writes some of the mythology into the movie, rather than just having Chucky kill a random family for no reason. The original name for the movie was Revenge of Chucky, which makes sense.
So Nica is blamed for the murders and Chucky is retrieved by Tiffany in the same manner as he was in Bride of Chucky. The scene is so similar you may think it was from Bride of Chucky.
So Chucky is sent to Nica's niece's new home, with her grandma. Chucky attempts to put his soul into the girl, but I guess her grandma stops him or something. I'm also assuming he has the amulet from Bride/Seed on him, because he is absolutely in the same body as CP3/Bride/Seed. He's covering up his stitches with make up/plastic adhesive. This is cool, because we get old school Chucky as well as new school Chucky in one movie. Back to the amulet... see Chucky can only put his soul into the body of the person he first revealed he was alive to. This would be the kid from Child's Play 3 (since he got a brand new body in CP3).
So Chucky is sent somewhere else, with no real explaination why he isn't walking around in a little girl suit, which would have been a creepy ending. They instead an awesome ending that ruins the creepiness of the precredits ending, but it's so awesome it doesn't matter. He is sent to Andy Barclay's apartment. The kid from CP 1-3. Chucky is shot at the very end, but they could draw the fight out more if they start the next movie from that spot. The actor is the same one as the kid from CP 1 & 2, which is neat.
The only continuity mess ups are Chucky's doll body seems a lot more doll-like, and not turning human, which he is waaaaaay past due for if you've seen any of the other movies. His head is knocked off and it detaches like a doll's head and he's stabbed and stuffing flies all over the place. This is small, but I noticed it right away. That was one of the more disturbing aspects of the old movies.
Curse of Chucky is a welcome entry to the series, the low budget shows, but they get the most out of it. Brad Dourif is awesome as usual, but the multiple endings, while cool, conflict with the tone of each other (and maybe the conclusion?). There have been way worse direct to video sequels to theatrical series (cough Hellraiser, Pumpkinhead, Donny Darko, The Butterfly Effect cough). Aside from a couple of cheesy moments, its a solid entry into the series. Chucky is scary again. This is worth your time, if you like Child's Play or horror in general, you should check it out.

The transmission potential of Loma salmonae ...
|The transmission potential of Loma salmonae (Microspora) in the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), is dependent upon the method and timing of exposure
|J. M. Ramsay, David J. Speare, J. G. Sanchez, J. Daley
|Journal of Fish Diseases
|Start page
|End page
|The ability of a parasite to transmit from one fish to another is important in the dissemination of disease. Groups of 25 naive rainbow trout (RBT), O. mykiss, were exposed to L. salmonae by feeding on the viscera (gills, hearts and spleens) from L. salmonae-infected donor RBT (DRBT) or by cohabitation with infected DRBT. Exposure occurred 3, 7, 11 and 15 weeks after the DRBT were infected. All naive RBT were examined 7 weeks post-exposure (PE) to the DRBT. Naive RBT, exposed to DRBT at week 3 PE, by feeding on viscera or by cohabitation, failed to develop visible branchial xenomas. Cohabiting naive RBT with DRBT, at week 7 PE and week 11 PE, resulted in the development of branchial xenomas. Xenomas failed to develop in naive RBT exposed via cohabitation to week 15 PE DRBT. Naive RBT, exposed by feeding on the viscera of DRBT at week 7 PE, week 11 PE and week 15 PE, developed branchial xenomas. The transmission potential of viscera from L. salmonae-infected DRBT at week 15 and 20 PE was also examined. Naive RBT, fed with viscera free of visible branchial xenomas, from DRBT at week 15 PE and week 20 PE, developed branchial xenomas by week 7 PE. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect L. salmonae DNA from the water and sediments of a tank of L. salmonae-infected RBT at week 7 PE. The method and timing of exposure of naive fish to L. salmonae-infected fish are important in disease transmission and may be useful in predicting and preventing disease outbreaks in aquaculture..

Need something to put into your purse and obsess over at random moments?May we recommend this solid perfume in Bouquet Blanc ($28)? It's part of a collection made for Anthropologie by the people of pricey niche fragrance house Le Labo, but what interests us is its immediate effect rather than its pedigree. Somehow this white floral blend conveys a tremendous and tender melancholy, and when you add in the curious vintagey bicycle image on the packaging and the very heavy little jar it comes in, you've got something to smell, stare at, and hold whenever you feel like getting lost in thought.

Yes. I know. I have been totally taken in by the cuteness. See the full article* by Jerry Kofman on ANC News blogs here.

Canon Selphy CP900 Review and Ratings
Our Verdict: This small, wireless photo printer produces high-quality 4x6-inch prints. The print packs are somewhat expensive, but this is currently the best snapshot-printing solution that's both wireless and lightweight. Read More…
- What We Liked…
- Sharp photo prints
- Lightweight, with optional battery for true portable use
- Wi-Fi support
- Big LCD for a tiny printer
- Supports printing from iOS
- What We Didn't…
- High per-print costs
- No Wi-Fi Direct support
- Battery/charger option is pricey
Canon Selphy CP900 Review
By November 21, 2012, reviewed
Table of Contents
Do you yearn for the days of Polaroid's instant cameras, when you could shoot an image and have it spit out a glossy right on the spot? If you're using a camera-equipped smartphone or a wireless-capable camera as your shooter, you can get reasonably close to that experience here in 2012 with a portable wireless printer—no fanning your prints to develop required. With a portable wireless printer, you could snap the shutter on your phone or camera, transmit the image, and move on to your next shot while the printer churns out your photo.
If what you're after is that level of portability and instant gratification, the Canon Selphy CP900 could very well be your best choice for producing 4x6-inch photos. The 2012 entry in Canon's now-venerable line of Selphy snapshot printers, the CP900 costs $99.99 list (or perhaps a bit less from resellers), weighs just 1.8 pounds, and can be powered by a rechargeable battery (an optional add-on) for true on-the-go printing. The mobile-printing alternatives we've tested in recent years tend to be bulkier, heavier, and require AC power.
Like in earlier Selphy models, Canon selected a dye-sublimation print engine for the CP900, to reduce the size of the printer and lower the power requirements. Don't be put off by the dye-sub technology. This model is much superior to previous portable dye-sub printers we've tested. In fact, the print quality is very close to what we've come to expect from the best inkjet photo printers. Plus, the photos dry quickly and are water-resistant. And they can last as long as 100 years if stored out of direct light.
Dye-sublimation printers are different from inkjets in a crucial and fundamental way: They use a cartridge of ink-impregnated film to print to a supplied pack of special photo paper. (An inkjet photo printer, on the other hand, sprays microscopic dot patterns onto your paper stock from an ink tank.) Because of this design, a dye-sub printer uses a fixed amount of the ribbon-like film for each snapshot print, which means the dye-sub cartridge can be used for a fixed and predictable number of prints—no more, no less. As a result, with dye-sub printers the inked-ribbon cartridge and a matching quantity of paper are sold together as a refill pack, rated for a certain number of prints.
Alas, those prints aren't cheap. In the case of the CP900, each print will cost you 32.4 cents, which is considerably more than a similar print from an inkjet printer. (That said, bear in mind that the CP900's cost figure includes the cost of the paper, which comes in the print pack with the cartridge.) Also, note that the printer's rated 100-year print longevity is about half the estimate offered by some inkjet printers with archival-grade inks.
Also, know that if you indeed want to truly print from anywhere, it's a much pricier proposition than just buying the printer: The optional battery and charger together will set you back an additional $159.98. (The battery and charger are $79.99 each.) That brings the total price for printer, battery, and charger to about $260. You'll have to be really intent on the portability and convenience of battery-powered printing to shell out for those accessories. Otherwise, you'll need to stay close to an AC-power outlet.
Still, whether you print from wall power or battery, we think you'll like what you see from this little printer. It's the best dedicated-snapshot printer we've tested on the market today, challenging our long-standing favorite snapshot model, the inkjet-based Epson PictureMate Charm.

Fieldwork experience is an integral part of the student's occupational therapy education at Touro College. It provides students with opportunities to practice new skills, observe client/patient behavior, model practice after master clinicians, and explore the application of didactic and theoretical knowledge acquired in the classroom.
Level I fieldwork consists of site visits to clinical settings while classes are in session, usually related to a particular class. These visits are intended as preliminary exposure and exploration opportunities, although they may also include specific assignments. Level I fieldwork occurs throughout the curriculum. Students should plan ahead to schedule these daytime commitments during the 3rd and 4th semesters.
Level II fieldwork is a full-time, daytime workweek placement in a clinical setting under the supervision of an experienced occupational therapy practitioner. Each of the two Level II fieldwork experiences is full-time at a single site. Students on Level II fieldwork are expected to abide by the legal, ethical, and procedural standards of the center, the profession, and the School. The Fieldwork Coordinator schedules Level II fieldwork placement in centers that have a contractual agreement with Touro. Only the School and the Department can act as representatives in the development of such a clinical contract.
Students will be scheduled for fieldwork in advance from our pool of centers. Placement may be at local or distant, out-of-town sites.
All the clinical fieldwork experiences must be completed in the pre-arranged sequence. Failure to complete the proper sequence may significantly interrupt the sequence of courses available, and/or the timely completion of the entire program of study.
Students in the AAS-OTA program must complete all Level II Fieldwork within 18 months of the completion of all academic courses.

The Candlestick Vase ($30, on sale) will blow your mind. Okay, it probably won't blow your mind, but it will make you look twice. It looks like a simple taper candle and base, but it's designed to hold the flora of your choice. Fill it with one spectacular bud (may we suggest an orange peony?) or add a few stems and stalks from your evening walk. Past your neighbors' beautiful front yards. Right.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -
Click Here For Updated 2004 Statitistics
For the first time since October 20, 2002, UCLA has found itself in a battle of the top two ranked men's water polo teams in the country. Saturday, as the Bruins take on No. 2 Stanford at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center, UCLA will not only be looking to cling to its number one national ranking, but the Bruins will also attempt to redeem themselves for one of their only two losses of the season. Back on September 19 at the SoCal Tournament in Los Angeles, The Cardinal knocked off UCLA 8-7 and the Bruins then went on to fall to then-fourth-ranked California 10-9 later in the day. Since then UCLA has run off eleven straight victories, including a 10-9 overtime victory against Stanford, and has moved to the top of the national rankings. Stanford has won eight of its last nine and is 15-2 overall and is tied with UCLA atop the MPSF with a perfect 3-0 conference record.
UCLA won't quite be finished after Saturday's contest at the Rose Bowl as the Bruins will play host to #9 Long Beach State Sunday afternoon at the Sunset Canyon Recreation Center. Long Beach State is 11-7 overall and 2-1 in MPSF play.
The Bruins needed all 28 minutes last Sunday afternoon to defeat Pepperdine 7-6 at Raleigh Runnels Memorial Pool in Malibu. Senior attacker Albert Garcia scored two goals, including one with 0:31 remaining in the match to give UCLA the decisive edge over the Waves. The Bruins jumped ahead 5-2 heading into halftime but Pepperdine struck back with three unanswered goals in the third sending the match into the fourth period tied at five. Junior Michael March's goal with under four minutes to play, along with Garcia's game-winner, allowed UCLA to extend its winning streak to eleven matches.
With three weeks left to play in the 2004 season, UCLA is knocking on the door of some long-standing individual and team records. With its current eleven-match winning streak the Bruins are barreling down on their longest winning streak since 1995-1996 when they won 15 straight, including the final two in 1995 and the first 13 in 1996. The current streak is the seventh longest in UCLA history. Also, it has been announced that senior attacker Brett Ormsby, who earlier this season recorded his 200th career goal, has now moved into second place on UCLA's all-time scoring list with 220 behind Alexis Rousseau's school record 290. Finally, senior Joe Axelrad is now just 13 saves shy of 300 for his career.
Since the October 6 release of the Men's National Collegiate Top 20 Poll, UCLA has been ranked No. 1 in the nation. The ranking marks the first time since the conclusion of the 2000 season that the Bruins have held the top spot. UCLA has gone 6-0 since earning the #1 rank.
HEAD COACH Adam Krikorian
A bastion of the UCLA men's water polo program as a player and coach, Adam Krikorian begins his sixth season as head coach for both the men's and women's programs and his 13th season with the Bruin water polo program. After sharing the head coaching duties with Guy Baker for two seasons in 1999 and 2000, Krikorian is in his fourth season alone at the helm of the two programs. A winner of nine national championships as a player and a coach, Krikorian has amassed a 108- 32 (.771) record in his six seasons with the UCLA men's team. On October 2, 2004, Krikorian notched his 100th career win with the men's team. He is second among active water polo coaches in NCAA Championships won with two.
Bruin Win Streaks Matches Dates 50* 1964-1968 24 1968-1970 21 1971-1972 19 11/10/89-10/6/90 16** 9/10/88-10/1/88 15 12/1/95-10/13/96 11 9/25/04- 8 10/16/99-11/12/99

Supposedly, Lady Gaga will get 18 animated outfits when she's a character on The Simpsons during the show's May 20 episode. We now have a promo, and we've now seen three of those outfits. (Four, technically, if you count the fluffy cloud pageant gown from that first link, but that's just a still.) 18 outfits, of course, is only a fraction of Gaga's cumulative wardrobe to date. Weird Al, when he did this sort of thing, wore dozens more and still only covered a fraction. So because there's absolutely nothing to say about the dialogue in the promo–hopefully Fox is saving the better material for later–let's do a style check.
Lady Gaga propelled by four-and-twenty bluebirds. The natural result of Zooey Deschanel meeting Princess Ke$ha and having a balloon incident, possibly. It's plausible, OK? We have just established prime conditions for a balloon incident.
Lady Gaga with flamethrowers strapped to her chest. A reference to this plus the "Bad Romance" video, naturally. Plus, she can fly like Superman. This may or may not become a plot point.
Lady Gaga, indignant in a meat dress. OK, maybe these didn't need detailed annotations after all.

Leading faculty, top students, quality facilities,
challenging research opportunitiesthese were powerful draws
for the 24 new faculty
members who joined the Fisher College of Business in the past
two years.
Under the leadership of Dean
Alutto, Fisher College has built tremendous momentum in programs
and scholarship as well as bricks and mortar, said David
Hirshleifer, Ralph W. Kurtz Chair in Finance. Since
coming Ive been delighted by the vibrant intellectual interchange
at seminars and the high quality of the students with whom Ive
had the chance to interact.
Wruck, associate professor of finance, said she was attracted
by the schools outstanding finance department and
the opportunity to be part of its dynamic research environment.
I also am excited to be part of the core
faculty of an MBA program that is growing in prominence at the
same time that we are launching the colleges new Executive
MBA, Wruck said.
The strong research culture and good facilities
were also a plus for Barrie Nault, associate professor of accounting
and MIS. I was impressed by the many opportunities here
in information technology. Since arriving, I have found the culture
to be even better than I thought, with great colleagues and an
environment that supports quality research, he said.
Like Wruck, he also was excited about the growing
importance of executive education, including the Executive MBA
program, at the college.
While Fisher Colleges leadership in logistics
research and education guided Keely
Croxtons decision to join the faculty as assistant professor
of marketing and logistics, the new college facilities also played
a role in her decision, she said.
At first this might seem superficial, but
the new buildings serve as an indication of how serious the college
is about its mission. The classroom facilities are particularly
nice. They allow me to easily bring technology into the classroom
and help me create a positive learning environment for the students,
she said.
Great colleagues, a comfortable office that
is conducive to good research, and state-of-the-art classroomswhat
more could a professor ask for?

Omega-3s and Blood Pressure
Disease-Proof Your Child:
The brain is mostly made of fat. For the brain cells to maintain their cell membrane fluidity and to properly recognize chemical messengers they must have the right ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fats built into their structure. Too little omega-3 fats and too much saturated fat and trans fat could stiffen the fatty acid membranes and interfere with proper cellular communication. Raw nuts and seeds supply children with unpolluted omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in a protective package rich in antioxidant vitamins and minerals. Though fish is a rich source of omega-3 fat and DHA, fish fats and other animal fats are nutrient-poor and often contaminated with pollution, pesticides, hormones, and drugs. Flax seeds, sunflower seeds, and walnuts are examples of great brain food that can maximize human potential. Berries and vegetables are also rich in brain-favorable nutrients. The same foods that provide powerful protective effects against cancer maximize our children's brain development.Okay, need more proof that Omega-3s are nutritional heavyweights? Take a gander at this report from HealthDay News. A new study has determined Omega-3 fatty acids may lower blood pressure. Robert Preidt explains:
A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids -- found in certain fish, nuts, seeds and vegetable oils -- may help lower blood pressure.For more on Omega-3s—and flaxseed—check out these previous posts:
That's the conclusion of a study that examined data from 4,680 people in China, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States…
…"Foods with omega-3 PFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids) had more of an effect in people who were not already taking medication and had not yet developed high blood pressure," study lead author Dr. Hirotsugu Ueshima, professor and chairman of the department of health science at Shiga University of Medical Science in Japan, said in a prepared statement.

John Pinette is dead. The 50-year-old comedian was found dead in his hotel room in Pittsburgh, Penn. on April 5. According to TMZ, police don't suspect foul play. Several months ago it was reported that Pinette had sought treatment for addiction to prescription pills. At this point, a cause of death has not been revealed and it's unlikely that one will ever be.
According to the report, the medical examiner was asked not to perform an autopsy by Pinette's personal doctor. Apparently Pinette had been suffering from heart and liver disease. He was also overweight and all of these things in tandem could have caused him to have a heart attack (despite people believing that he overdosed).
John Pinette was found dead around 2:30 p.m. in his hotel room. No further details about what was in his room or where he was found were released. It's doubtful that any more details will be released unless his family decides to share the information.
Pinette had about 20 upcoming tour dates which would have been packed full of immense laughter. He was easily one of the funniest guys in stand-up, making people laugh until they cry. He was an absolute joy to watch and, from one writer who had the pleasure of meeting him, he was an absolute sweetheart.
John Pinette will be greatly missed by his millions of fans.
