DD#2 is sick. So I'm not quite sure what to do since I have a million things due at work today. I've given her some drugs, so if she is feeling better, I may take them to summer camp later and try to get in 5 hours of work. The forecast is
104 degrees!At least if the girls go later, they will miss swimming. With her ear ache, I don't want her outside or in the water.
OS...don't get flip with me...you are not ancient!
Amanda...glad there was no pain in the foot!
Alemma...hope your DD gets well...and 104! WOOOO that's hot!

Good morning!
I had the best run I've had in a loooooooong time last night. I went for 5 miles and my legs felt sooooo good!! I loved it! !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!
Today it is rainy and gray. Will try to do something fun with the kiddos inside.
SUDS ~ WTG on your easy 4!
TY ~ Enjoy your nordic walking. QOD ~ That's a tough one. I would be tempted to say after so that she could enjoy her b-day fully, but wouldn't you want to get it done and over with asap? If you have it done before her birthday and she's not fully recovered by then, you could wait until she is back to her normal self to do something special for her b-day?
KATHY ~ That sucks having to go in early!
LEE ~ WTG on yesterday's 3!
FIT ~ You're so good getting those miles in before breakfast! !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!
KARLA ~ GL with your run!
SHELL ~ Good running last night, supergirl! !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/biggrin.gif|border=0!
AMANDA ~ WTG on the pain free running!!
Back from 3.5 slow miles.........not bad after I got the first mile done then it seemed easier than yesterdays run. Summer summer summer!!! I know it makes us better runners, I keep telling myself that when it gets hard.
txshell.................I commend you for running at 7:30pm, its still in the 90's, and who knows what the heat index is, I don't see how you do it!!! Nice Job!!!
Amanda..........nice job on the pain free run!!!
Alemma................((((DD)))))))))))) sorry shes sick!!! 104 ouch!! You sound frustrated today, take care of yourself!!!!!! (((((Alemma))))

Good Morning! I just got in from my 2 miles. I got rained on so that was really nice. I got is late from the ball game last night and went to bed late so I did not get up in time to do weights - I will attempt to fit that in tonight after work.
Suds - Nice job as always. I really could use some core work.
ty - Enjoy your lsd even if it isn't your preferred method of getting it done.
Kathy - Have a good day and a good run tonight.
Lee - WTG on the run. Sounds like you are getting your motivation back. I wish I could run Falmouth with you guys - i had a number and gave it up because of my foot.
Lynnette - Nice running this morning. I don't blame you for keeping the kids home in this heat!
Karla - Have a good run if you can in that heat!
Shell - I love lightening bugs! Have a good run at lunch.
Amandamom - Yay for no pain!
Alemma - I hope dd feels better soon and you can get a run in some way.
QOD - If the doctor says it can wait, I would wait. If not, celebrate before her actual b-day. She's only turning 3 so start telling her now that her b-day is in so many days and she will not know it is not the real date. Sometimes it is better to lie to your kids!
Karla...Good running! I guess I like running then because as it's getting dark it feels better to me
Andi...yeah for running in the rain!!!!!!!!! I'll take some rain again!
Andi..............its nice to get rained on occasionally!!!! Glad you had a good run!!
MFarr............wow sounds like you had a wonderful run!!!! WTG!!!

I need to shower now so I am not late for work. TTYL!
Good morning. I just returned from cycling at the gym. I went to the dr.'s yesterday afternoon. I have something going on with the tendon in my foot that goes from the big toe out to your ankle. He doesn't think it's a stress fracture- but it's always hard to tell until it starts to heal. I have to take 5-7 days off and x-train with cycling. I'm on 3 advil three times a day, a cortisone patch/electrode thing that I have to wear 6 hours a day, and ice, ice, ice, and more ice (and foot ice baths). He also said that my PF is pretty bad (although it feels okay right now to me) and I really need to work on stretching my hamstrings since my knees aren't too great (but they're not bad either). So in all I was very, very, very happy! The swelling has already gone down a ton so I'm confident I'm on my way to a speedy recovery.
Batmomm and I went to a nutrition clinic yesterday. It was interesting. The biggest things I learned-
- just because a label says 0 trans fat there can still be trans fat in the food (we have to read ingredient labels).
-water Gatorade/Powerade down to increase water/fluid absorption
-eat a little protein with every meal- especially breakfast
I'll be back for shout outs.
Good morning everyone-
no run for me yet today. I was going to do my 5mi tempo run before dh left for work but it was pouring rain and I couldn't force myself to do it. (plus I had an excuse because the running shoe store guy asked me to keep the new shoes dry in case I need to return them - ha!) I'll do it on the TM later - I have all three kids home so no chance of an outside run today. Can't wait to try out my new shoes to see if they feel better!
Alemma - sorry your dd is not feeling good. hope she's feeling better soon.
Ty - have fun on your walk! 3hrs of nordic walking sounds like a good alternative to an lsd!
Suds - if you are ancient you are very well preserved!! (I don't think you are ancient at all!)
Leembo - good job getting that run in last night after visiting your sister!
Shell - i just finished a particularly good cup of coffee, too. must be because my kids are still sleeping and I got to drink it in peace!! Good job on your tempo run last night! At 7:30pm I was enjoying a glass of wine and you were out there busting your a$$!
Kathyd - have a good day at work!
Fit45 - 6.5 before breakfast is awesome! that is some serious heat! It's supposed to rain here all day today - boohoo!
Karla - great job on your run !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!
Amanda - congrats on the pain-free run!!
Alemma - sorry to hear that your dd isn't feeling well. It's so hard when you have work to do and sick kids !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/frown.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/frown.gif|border=0! The treadmill certainly would be helpful on days like this! hope your dd is feeling better soon.
Marianne - your run sounds great! I love runs like that!
Andi - good job on your run!
One kid up now so I need to get breakfast ready. have a good day everyone!

During Friday morning rush hour on November 3, 2006, in protest of what is now the loss of many lives in Iraq, peace activist Malachi Ritscher burned himself to death next to Chicago's busiest freeway.
The news didn't cover it, and nobody gave a fuck.
Some photographs of Malachi. His last photo, standing in front of a statue. A high quality photo of him protesting from a story that MSNBC ran about him 3 weeks after his death. (all photos are from Malachi's life, not his death)
His story has deeply affected me.

I am looking for a way that I could add some code to my wordpress template to display the time of a post in relative terms. So if, for example, I posted something 5 minutes ago it would say something along the lines of Posted 6 minutes ago or 2 days ago, or 1 week ago. You get the idea. Could anyone give me some guidance on how I could go about doing this?
WordPress actually has an obscure and little known function called
The function will only do minutes, hours, and days, though. If you need to get weeks, for example, you could do something like this:
That would give you
You can also try the

The Many Faces of Ed Westwick
Some say Ed Westwick always affects the same pose in photos. We disagree.
Has Ed Westwick, like the Olsen twins, gotten into the habit of presenting the same face on the red carpet? The Observer thinks so: Today they sneer at the "calculated way in which Mr. Westwick prepared for each photographer's flash," alleging that he consistently affects the same Chuck Bass–like expression. We respectfully disagree! Ed Westwick has many faces, as any respectable Gossip Girl fan with 476 images of him at her disposal would know. To prove it, we have compiled a gallery of our favorite looks.

Reviews for Recovery Resources
I was recruited to be a founding member of the Associate Board of Recovery Resources a dozen or more years ago. I remain committed as a member of the Board of Directors because of the compelling mission of the organization, the inspiring stories of recovery I have witnessed and the compassionate and dedicated staff of professionals I am pleased to support. To know the people of Recovery Resources is to love them.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Witnessing many testimonials of clients in recovery at annual meetings and fundraising events

I would give them the resources to make their jobs easier, to expand programming and treat more people.
I was asked to serve on the board because the organization wanted to expand its reach into the minority community and to better assist those returning from a period of incarceration.
Virtually all of the ideas and suggestions I put forth were implemented, and the willingness to be inclusive has been heartwarming. An already very effective organization got even better.

Kathy Cassidy
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I have linux mint cinnamon 13. I installed it today. Well my problem is that my panel and my icons are gone. There is absolutely nothing but my desktop background. But I'm still able to switch to Ctrl+Alt+F1. Also when I click on print on my keyboard it makes a photo but nothing pops up. So how can I get my taskbar, icons etc. back?
What did you install today ? Linux Mint (complete) or just Cinnamon ?
If you installed just Cinnamon, or you upgrade from a previous version using Gnome2, you must delete some hidden folder containing your previous configuration.
Unfortunately, I can't remember which one exactly

Cum-Sucking Milfs is good because it's dirty. The MILFs themselves are a decent bunch, but they all get a good, solid pounding and respond with the kind of filth-talking, cock-gobbling hardcore that some of them probably haven't let out in 10 or 20 years.
The women range in age from 42 to 62-years old. In keeping with the title, each one of them receives a mouthful of jizz at the end.
Retailing: These MILFs are a little filthier than most.

I can't get to menu Submenus when using an iPad. Without being able to Hover, this doesn't work. As an example:
On this very familiar site, if I click on the Languages menu, it immediately sends me to the Languages page. The drop down doesn't appear, so I can't pick Korean. Sometimes, the Languages drop down *briefly* appears when I tap, but then sends me to the Languages page.
On my own site, some menu titles are Custom Links with a blank URL (so it's not clickable), but others are a page with a child page.
On my desktop browser with a Stargazer site, if I hover over a blank URL menu item, the mouse goes to the click finger pointer. On my Esplanade-themed site, http://mwba.org, hovering over the blank URL Articles or Pictures menu gives me an I-beam text pointer.
The HTML code on both sites looks the same, so I suspect it's a CSS issue.
It'd sure be nice if Justin could fix this. I was a happy camper until I tested my site with an iPad.

I have done both. My time at Bull Run was about an hour slower than Stonecat, but I'm not sure how good a comparison that is because the year I did BR, the weather was terrible and there was a ton of mud. I would agree that the course at Bull Run is harder. There are definitely more hills. One thing that I think is harder at the Stonecat course is the fact that the rocks and roots on the trail are hidden under all the fallen leaves, so you have to watch your footing a lot more as it's easier to trip.
I've run 7:18 at BRR (06 - mud year) and just under 8 at Stone Cat ('03 on old course). I ran a 7:28 at BRR six months after my 8 hour Stone Cat. However, I don't think that's typical. I'm not sure which I find "easier" but Stone Cat surely has fewer hills. Stone Cat also isn't likely to be among the first hot/humid days of the mid-Atlantic spring, which is often the case with BRR. ... Personally, I'm hoping for snow at SC this year!
Trail Tripper,
Glad you like my blog. While I've been blogging to various degrees about my running for years, I've recently begun posting on topics beyond my own training, racing, travel, and gear review. Enough people have asked for my advice that I thought I should try and organize it. In blogging about various topics I've learned a lot both from the process of writing, which surprised me, and from the the insightful folks who leave comments. Anyway, please let me know if you have anything you'd think I should write about.
- Bryon
Stonecat 50 will be my first Ultra too! I can use all the advice I can get.
I ran the Baystate marathon about 3 weeks ago.
Anyway, does anybody have a checklist for things to be left in a bag at the start line ? How does it work in terms of logistics ?
I'll be volunteering early morning. Decided not to run the marathon due to the proximity to JFK. I'll be the short dude wearing last years Bull Run jacket. No idea where they'll have me or what I'll be doing, but I'm sure I'll see y'all out there.
Reji, the course is very well supported, with plenty of food and beverages at the aid stations. You should plan to leave in your drop bag any additional food or drinks that you want, plus any other items that might come in handy. I'm planning on putting in several extra gels and a couple of pairs of socks in my bag. A change of shirt or an extra layer, hat or gloves, might be a good idea too. Who knows what the weather will be like.
You should also be sure to put a headlamp in your bag in case you'll be finishing in the dark.
As for logistics, you can just leave your bag on the ground near the start/finish area. I would suggest putting your stuff in something waterproof in case of rain or snow.
This will be my second Stonecat and fourth official 50 mile race. Good luck!!
Can't wait to see everyone! Don't forget to say hi!
Thanks for some of the responses. I had heard the ultra community was close knit and supportive! I think I understand now.
I made the decision to run Stonecat only a few weeks ago and so am a little nervous but it's more of nervous excitement! I just want to finish and I will be very happy with the season.
Thanks for all the support.
You just want to finish?
I just want to spend 8 to 12 hours running with a bunch of other crazy runners. I have no idea how long it will take me, I could run the first 3 laps in 2 hours each and the last lap in 6 more... who knows, but I'm sure it's going to be "fun" all day long.
Monster... your first 50 I hear? Good luck to you. I'll be rootin for ya!
"Pain Fun" is more like it
Is anyone brave enough to offer predictions on their stone cat performance?
Time? Place?
Minimum goal? Ideal goal?
Let's hear it!
5th in 7:59
Minimum goal - finish
Maximum goal - finish without suffering for too long
13th 9:23
Minimum Goal #1: Sub 9:47
Ideal Goal #2: Sub 9:00

It's playoff time down in Mexico. And with four of the eight teams being from the north, plus the presence of popular Club America, the eyes of Texas are upon the tournament. To preview the action, I checked in with Mexico City-based blogger Jason Marquitz, who covers the Federacion Mexicana de Futbol in English for SB Nation's FMF State of Mind and on his own blog, Soccer Mexicana.
1. Santos vs. Jaguares. Expectations are high for Santos to match their regular-season performance with a postseason championship. What do you think of Santos' chances to win it all?
Marquitz: They are just absolutely loaded with talent. I don't put much stock in the thought that they have an inability to win "the big one." [In recent playoff losses,] they were beaten by good teams that had better days. Jaguares have been in great form of late, and have the ability with their collection of goal scorers to make this interesting. I don't think they can keep Santos from piling on the goals, though.
2. Monterrey vs. Tijuana. Tradition-rich Monterrey faces newcomer Tijuana. Do the Xolos have a shot?
Marquitz: Monterrey is a beatable squad. They are strong on both ends, but occasionally go very cold. Tijuana isn't the team to exploit this weakness. They make the most of their squad but don't have the firepower to knock off Monterrey. This is just too difficult of a match-up for Tijuana. The Xolos led the league by only allowing eleven goals this season. The problem was that they could only muster a paltry eighteen goals themselves. Monterrey has scored thirty-two while allowing fifteen. Advantage Monterrey.
3. Club America vs. Pachuca. While much attention focused on Santos and Monterrey, Club America quietly had yet another solid campaign. What factors could help them win the tournament, and what factors could trip them up?
Marquitz: Club America did have a great season, but I don't think they are quite ready to make a deep run in the playoffs. They have done well to win the games they should win, but show weakness against the top clubs in the league. They have a 3-1-3 record against the other squads in the playoffs. They beat Jaguares, Pachuca, and a Santos team resting half their starters. With the ever-imposing presence of Chucho Benitez up front, America can and will score. Yet they simply give up too many goal-scoring chances to their opponents. They fail to keep possession and have a propensity to play tired in the second half. They should get by Pachuca, but will need some upsets in the other match-ups or some red cards for their opponents to get further along.
4. Morelia vs. Tigres. Is this the most evenly-matched of the four quarterfinal pairings, as the standings suggest? What should observers watch for in this series?
Marquitz: Both teams have looked a bit shaky recently, but are legitimate contenders for the title. Tigres have been giving up more goals than they are accustomed to conceding. This creates a problem for a team that doesn't find the back of the net often. Tigres are too reliant on their playmaker, Lucas Lobos. Morelia has limped into the playoffs with some poor form, with this past weekend's pathetic performance in Chiapas being the lowlight. Surely, their leading scorer, Miguel Sabah, has been missed. Yet, there is something more going on here. Morelia has a tendency to be overmatched in the midfield, where they seem to have more men looking to score than play defense. When these two teams met at the end of March in Monterrey, Tigres laid into Morelia with a 4-1 victory. This is the most evenly matched pairing because either team could make a serious run; it's just that this match up favors Tigres.

H. R. Nicholls Society
The H.R. Nicholls Society is an Australian think tank of the New Right on industrial relations.[1][2] It was created in March 1986 after John Stone, Peter Costello, Barrie Purvis, and Ray Evans organised a seminar aimed at discussing the Hancock Report and other industrial matters.[3][4]
The Society is named after Henry Richard Nicholls (6 January 1830 – 13 August 1912),[5][6] an editor of the Hobart newspaper The Mercury, who in 1911 published an editorial criticising H. B. Higgins, then a High Court judge and President of the Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration, accusing Higgins of behaving in a politically partisan and unjudicial manner after attacking a barrister.[4] This led to Nicholls being prosecuted for contempt of court by the Tasmanian Attorney-General, only to be acquitted by the full bench of the High Court.[4][7]
Regular contributors to the Society's publications include Ray Evans, Adam Bisits and Des Moore, the Director of the Institute for Private Enterprise. Adam Bisits is the President of the Society, replacing Evans,[8] who stepped down in 2010.
Aims and objectives[edit]
The Society supports the deregulation of the Australian Industrial Relations System, including the abolition of the award system, the widespread use of individual employment contracts and the lowering of minimum wages. The Society only believes in limited labour market regulation, as it believes that excessive minimum wages[9] and job security lead to higher unemployment and lower productivity. Since its inception, the Society has advocated what it views as reform of the labour market in order to ensure what it views as Australia's international competitiveness and prosperity. On its website, the Society lists its aims and objectives:
- To promote discussion about the operation of industrial relations in Australia including the system of determining wages and other conditions of employment.
- To promote the rule of law with respect to employers and employee organisations alike.
- To promote reform of the current wage-fixing system.
- To support the necessity for labour relations to be conducted in such a way as to promote economic development in Australia.
The Society has strong ties with the Liberal Party of Australia. For example, former Federal Treasurer Peter Costello was one of the society's founding members.
In 1986, then Prime Minister and former president of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, Bob Hawke, branded the Society as a group of "political troglodytes and economic lunatics".[10]
Former Federal Finance Minister Nick Minchin caused controversy in early 2006 in a speech at a Society function where he told the audience that the coalition "knew its reform to WorkChoices were not popular but the process of change must continue",[11] and that "there is still a long way to go... awards, the IR commission, all the rest of it..."[12] The Australian Labor Party has stated that "We know the HR Nicholls society supports the abolition of awards, supports the abolition of the minimum wage, supports the abolition of the independent umpire, the Industrial Relations Commission".[13]
In 2007, the Society criticised the WorkChoices legislation for creating even more regulation. The Society, which in fact supports deregulation of the labour market to the extent that employers and employees simply form contracts with each other and then deal with any disputes via the courts, admonished the WorkChoices model particularly for its length and the amount of red tape, claiming it was "all about regulation" and comparing it to the "old Soviet system of command and control", as well as on federalist grounds saying "This attempt on his part to diminish the role of the states, to concentrate all power in Canberra, is very much to Australia's detriment".[14] Society President Ray Evans stated that in creating WorkChoices "John Howard has assumed an omnipotence that Labor will inherit and to which no mortal should aspire. It will end in tears."[15] Des Moore stated on behalf of the Society that "The HR Nicholls Society is very disappointed with the work choices changes."[16]

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This was a touching story in which a very intelligent, but seriously challenged, boy grows and gains strength and demonstrates great courage. I had seen the Broadway play that was based on this book and it was amazing how closely the play tracked the book. In fact, it's sort of redundant reading the book after seeing the play. Many of the scenes and lines in the play were straight from the book. The narrator of the audio book did a very good job, even with the math problems.
I love the perspective this books gives you. I work as a therapist for families and with a lot of Autistic/Aspergers kids. Autism is often misunderstood and this book does a nice job putting us in an autistic individual's shoes. Now, it is a work of fiction, and the story can be lacklustre at times, but I will be recommending this book to a lot of my clients. It is truly unique.
This was an interesting read. I could have done without all the math problems, charts, and graphs. But, the concept was really unique. I liked A Spot of Bother better.
The most intresting aspect of this novel is that it is told from Christopher. A 15 year old autistic boy. You will be intregued by how his life is ruled by logic and order.but saddened by the lack of emotion and human contact
Reread as an audiobook. The Curious Incident... has just enough mystery to hold the plot together and to give main character Christopher motivation to step outside of his structured world. There's no point in speculating whether or not it's a realistic look into the mind of an autistic (Asperger's) individual but it certainly got autistic traits and the stresses on caregivers right.
Mark Haddon specialises in innovative storylines in his work as an author, screenwriter and illustrator allied to his remarkable ability to demonstrate what it is to be autistic without sentimentality or exaggeration allied to a creative use of puzzles, facts and photographs in the text mark him out as a real talent drawing on a range of abilities.
As Christopher investigates Wellington's death, he makes some remarkably brave decisions and when he eventually faces his fears and moves beyond his immediate neighborhood, the magnitude of his challenge and the joy in his achievement are overwhelming. Haddon creates a fascinating main character and allows the reader to share in his world, experiencing his ups and downs and his trials and successes. In providing a vivid world in which the reader participates vicariously, Haddon fulfills the most important requirements of fiction, entertaining at the same time that he broadens the reader's perspective and allows him to gain knowledge. This fascinating book should attract legions of enthusiastic readers.
It's something of a miracle that Haddon (a children's book author-illustrator) never slips into condescension, given that the novel is premised on the reader's cognitive advantage—it derives much of its meaning from the gap between what Christopher perceives and what we understand based on the details he dispassionately communicates.
The imaginative leap of writing a novel -- the genre that began as an exercise in sentiment -- without overt emotion is a daring one, and Haddon pulls it off beautifully. Christopher's story is full of paradoxes: naive yet knowing, detached but poignant, often wryly funny despite his absolute humorlessness.
Haddon's book illuminates the way one mind works so precisely, so humanely, that it reads like both an acutely observed case study and an artful exploration of a different ''mystery'': the thoughts and feelings we share even with those very different from us.

Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0099450259, Paperback)Mark Haddon's bitterly funny debut novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, is a murder mystery of sorts--one told by an autistic version of Adrian Mole. Fifteen-year-old Christopher John Francis Boone is mathematically gifted and socially hopeless, raised in a working-class home by parents who can barely cope with their child's quirks. He takes everything that he sees (or is told) at face value, and is unable to sort out the strange behavior of his elders and peers.
Late one night, Christopher comes across his neighbor's poodle, Wellington, impaled on a garden fork. Wellington's owner finds him cradling her dead dog in his arms, and has him arrested. After spending a night in jail, Christopher resolves--against the objection of his father and neighbors--to discover just who has murdered Wellington. He is encouraged by Siobhan, a social worker at his school, to write a book about his investigations, and the result--quirkily illustrated, with each chapter given its own prime number--is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
Haddon's novel is a startling performance. This is the sort of book that could turn condescending, or exploitative, or overly sentimental, or grossly tasteless very easily, but Haddon navigates those dangers with a sureness of touch that is extremely rare among first-time novelists. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is original, clever, and genuinely moving: this one is a must-read. --Jack Illingworth, Amazon.ca
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:07:22 -0400)
Despite his overwhelming fear of interacting with people, Christopher, a mathematically-gifted, autistic fifteen-year-old boy, decides to investigate the murder of a neighbor's dog and uncovers secret information about his mother.

Attardi Lab Research
The p53 gene is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancer, displaying mutations in at least half of all human cancers. In addition, p53 null mice develop cancer at 100% frequency. Together, these findings underscore the critical role for the p53 protein in tumor suppression. Notably, p53 is commonly mutated in cancers by missense mutation, leading to retention of a mutant protein that also exerts gain-of-function effects. Thus, p53 mutation causes loss of normal function and gain of new properties that promote cancer development.
p53 is a cellular stress sensor, responding to diverse insults such as DNA damage, hyperproliferative signals, and hypoxia by inducing growth arrest or apoptosis, responses thought to be important to tumor suppression. In addition, as a cellular stress sensor, p53 plays both physiological and pathological roles beyond tumor suppression. For example, p53 plays beneficial roles such as promoting fertility, and induces detrimental phenotypes in certain situations such as the side effects of cancer therapies or the cell death observed during stroke or neurodegenerative disease. The overarching goal of our research is to better define the mechanisms by which the p53 protein promotes different responses in different settings, ranging from tumor suppression to responses to chemotherapeutics, using the mouse as an in vivo model system. This understanding will help us understand how to best promote the beneficial and minimize the detrimental effects of p53 in the clinic.
We utilize a combination of mouse genetic, cell biological, biochemical, and genomic approaches to address understand how p53 acts and to use this knowledge for therapeutic benefit. We have a number of areas of investigation, as illustrated below. These include:
• Identifying the transcriptional networks responsible for tumor suppression, using CRISPR/Cas9 and shRNA screening approaches and mass spectrometry approaches
• Examining mechanisms of p53 gain of function properties in cancer
• Elucidating the genes activated and repressed by p53 in diverse settings using genomic technologies such as ChIP-sequencing and RNA-sequencing, to understand how p53 drives different responses
• Identifying p53 inhibitors to find strategies to inhibit the detrimental effects of p53 activation, such as during cancer therapy
• Understanding p53's role in developmental diseases such as CHARGE syndrome
• Characterizing p53-regulated noncoding RNAs and their roles in cancer
Using these combined approaches, we aim to derive a comprehensive picture of this remarkable molecule and to learn how to best modulate it during the treatment of cancer and other diseases.

The program is the brainchild of Ed Gottlieb, industrial pretreatment coordinator at the Ithaca Area Wastewater Treatment Facility. Gottlieb says he read about strange effects like male fish becoming feminized and beginning to produce eggs.
"I was reading literature about contaminants and pharmaceuticals are a major imerging contaminant," he says. "We're not required to do anything about it. It's not regulated, but it was clear it is an issue, and I thought 'what can we do?'"
He learned about a a successful program in Monroe County, did research, formed a coalition, and got funding. That led to the first event at which residents could drop off their unused medicines. It was a huge success. Two and a half tons of pharmaceuticals have been collected so far in five events. The events took place every six months with the main drop-off point at the TCAT bus garage and different satellite sites for each event including the Lansing Town Hall at an event last October.
'Med Return' is one of the first such programs in the state. CSMD held the national record for the most poundage collected in one day in one place, which was only recently broken by another community.
"We literally held a record for many years," he says. "It was clear there was a need for more. Participation is going up. Our survey of participants show that most of them hadn't been to a previous event. This is an ongoing need. We wanted to make it more accessible, and the drop boxes were a logical next step."
Gottlieb said Village of Dryden Police Chief Margaret Ryan made it possible for more local law enforcement agencies to have drop boxes by urging the New York State accreditation agency to clarify its rules so that accredited police agencies could participate in pharmaceutical collection programs. He noted that her efforts will make it easier for communities across New York to conduct medication take-back programs.
The first drop box is available now at the Tompkins County Public Safety Building that houses the Sheriff's Office and County Jail (779 Warren Road, Lansing). Over the next several weeks boxes will be installed at the Ithaca Police Department (120 E. Clinton St., Ithaca), Tompkins County Probation Department, Human Services Building (320 W. MLK/State St., Ithaca), Cayuga Heights Police Department (876 Hanshaw Rd., Ithaca), Groton Police Department (108 E. Cortland St., Groton), Trumansburg Police Department (5 Elm St., Trumansburg), Cornell University Police Department (G2 Barton Hall), Dryden Police Department (16 South St., Dryden), and the Tompkins Cortland Community College Campus Police (170 North St., Dryden).
Tompkins County Legislature Chair Martha Robertson noted that over the counter drugs and pet medications should be dropped off in addition to prescription drugs. She brought a bag of unused medication, and was the first to drop medications in the first box. But she wasn't the only one -- a few people had heard about the program and showed up to drop off their own drugs.
CSMD has also purchased a large storage container, purchased with funds from the Community Coalition for Healthy Youth. Drugs from individual drop boxes will be brought to this central container, that will be periodically brought to a special incinerator near Rochester for safe incineration. Dropboxes can olny be located at police stations, and a chain of custody must be maintained for the drugs collected. They are escorted to the disposal site by Sheriff's Deputies.
The Coalition will continue sponsor collection events around the county. The next event is set for Saturday, September 29, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the TCAT garage in Ithaca, and in Enfield and Slaterville.

Report: Pfizer May Cut Sales Force by Nearly a Third
The job ax may fall again soon at Pfizer. Bloomberg reports that Pfizer may eliminate nearly one-third of its sales force.
The plan, which is apparently under consideration by senior management, would be to eliminate as many as 2,400 reps and managers, according to Bloomberg.
Pfizer spokesman Ray Kerins told the Health Blog the company doesn't "comment on rumors or speculation," but added in an emailed statement that the company is always looking for ways to operate in "more effective and efficient" ways.
Earlier this week, Pfizer began laying off as many as 800 workers in R&D.
A steep cut in sales people by Pfizer, long the company with the most reps, would be a sobering development in an industry-wide culling of sales forces. Recently, Glaxo and Sanofi-Aventis have also announced cuts.
Update: WSJ confirms the layoff planning.

LONDON (AP) - Laying flowers and saying prayers, a few dozen mourners transformed a mass of twisted metal, charred human remains and scattered belongings into a memorial Thursday at the site of a massive train collision.
In the commuter town of Reading, dozens of people waited for police to confirm the loss of a loved one still missing from Tuesday's crash. A bouquet lay in the town center with a note attached: "Daddy come home I love you Clare."
The relatives and friends already know who didn't come home, who left a car unclaimed at a railway station parking lot, and whose mobile phone rings, unanswered, amid the wreckage. But their agonizing wait for some kind of closure didn't appear to be ending any time soon.
Authorities said Thursday they wouldn't even be able to get inside one of the train cars until at least Saturday. They believe dozens of victims may have been inside a first-class coach where the fire ignited by the head-on collision was particularly intense.
Without remains, the Westminster coroner said Thursday that identifying the dead will likely involve procedures including DNA testing.
Westminster coroner Dr. Paul Knapman said 25 bodies were in the mortuary. Only one had been positively identified and 17 others had been tentatively identified, he said.
Thirty-three deaths were confirmed from the crash, the worst rail disaster in Britain in at least a decade, and police said they expected the toll to be at least 70.

Clemens Lied to Protect Image, U.S. Says at Retrial's Start
Roger Clemens, facing a second trial on charges of perjury in a congressional investigation, told lie after lie to make himself look good and others look bad, a U.S. prosecutor said in opening statements.
"The choices he made are what tell the story of this trial," Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Durham said today in federal court in Washington. It is a "story of deceit, dishonesty and betrayal. A story of vanity, ego and pride."
Earlier today, U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton seated a 12-person jury after almost four days of vetting 70 Washington residents for possible service in Clemens's trial. The four men and eight women will decide whether the ex-New York Yankees pitcher lied to Congress when he said he never used performance-enhancing drugs.
Members of the panel include a public school teacher of deaf fourth graders, an administrative assistant at the Canadian embassy, a former executive director of a psychologists' association, a cashier at a Giant food store who never heard of Clemens and a special police officer for the Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority.
Clemens, 49, is charged with one count of obstructing a congressional investigation, three counts of making false statements and two counts of perjury. If convicted on all charges, the seven-time Cy Young Award winner faces as long as 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine.
Video Clip
Walton declared a mistrial in July after finding that prosecutors improperly showed the jury a video clip of a 2008 congressional hearing in which the wife of a government witness, Andy Pettitte, was discussed. Walton had ruled earlier that the government could make no references to Laura Pettitte or an affidavit she gave Congress.
Rusty Hardin, a lawyer for Clemens, will give his opening statement tomorrow morning.
Clemens, who pitched for the Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros and Toronto Blue Jays during a 24-year career, used the anabolic steroids and human growth hormone, or HGH, to remain competitive as he aged, Durham told jurors during his hour-long presentation.
The drugs were injected into him by Brian McNamee, Clemens's former personal trainer who worked with the pitcher for 10 years, Durham said. The evidence includes a needle and cotton balls containing Clemens's DNA that tested positive for anabolic steroids, he said.
Pettitte 'Misremembers'
Pettitte will testify about his close relationship with Clemens and how Clemens told him in 1999 or 2000 that he had used HGH, Durham said. Clemens told Congress that Pettitte misheard or "misremembers" the conversation.
The government also plans to call Brian Cashman, the Yankees general manager, and Kirk Radomski, a former clubhouse assistant for the New York Mets, who will testify that he sent HGH to Clemens's home in Houston in 2003 for Clemens's wife, Debbie, Durham said.
Clemens has denied drug use since former U.S. Senator George Mitchell released a report on steroids in Major League Baseball on Dec. 13, 2007. Mitchell named Clemens in the report as having used drugs on 16 occasions between 1998 and 2001.
The criminal charges stem from statements Clemens made to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in February 2008 during a private interview with committee staff and later in a public hearing on ballplayers' use of performance-enhancing drugs. Under oath, Clemens denied ever using steroids or HGH, according to the indictment.
'Cover Stories'
"He went beyond the straight denials," Durham told the jury. "He told cover stories -- lies to cover up other lies. The web of lies continued to grow until he got trapped in it."
Those "cover stories" included Clemens telling Congress that McNamee injected him with vitamins or other permissible drugs, he said.
Durham showed the jury a picture of Clemens holding up his right hand while being sworn in for his congressional testimony. It was the same hand Clemens used to win 354 games and gain "great fame" in the league, he said.
Another photo shown to the jury showed Clemens in a swimming pool with a young boy seated on the edge. Durham said the boy was a big fan of Clemens. Durham used the picture to set the time frame for when Clemens began allegedly using steroids in 1998. The picture also may have been an attempt to bolster the government's position that Congress was investigating drugs in baseball because of potential harm to children who emulate their heroes.
'Pick a Fight'
Durham said the government didn't "set out to pick a fight" with Clemens and no one forced him to testify before Congress in February 2008. Congress invited him to appear after Clemens began a "disinformation campaign" to "attack" the credibility of McNamee and the Mitchell report, Durham said.
"The evidence will show that his greatest adversary that day four years ago was Roger Clemens himself," Durham said. "The man who built this tangled web of deceit, betrayal and hurt."
After the jury was excused for the day, Hardin asked Walton for permission to introduce evidence about a 2001 rape investigation in St. Petersburg, Florida, where McNamee was interviewed by police. McNamee made false statements in the course of that probe, prosecutors said in a 2011 court filing.
Opened Door
Hardin said the government "opened the door" to details about that probe when Durham told jurors that Clemens continued to work with McNamee after his firing from the Yankees.
He said McNamee lied to Clemens about the Florida incident.
Prosecutors have a responsibility to find out "whether their witness is still lying to them," Hardin said.
Walton said he'll decide later how much information about the Florida matter the jury can hear.
In a ruling from the bench today, Walton said prosecutors won't be able to ask Pettitte, who has admitted to using human growth hormone, where he received the drugs. Pettitte has said he obtained HGH from McNamee.
Clemens's lawyers decried what they called an attempt by prosecutors to use that testimony to establish "guilt by association."
Walton said that Pettitte made "an independent decision" to use HGH to "hopefully help him heal." Given that, the significance of the testimony to the government's case doesn't outweigh the prejudice to Clemens, he said.
The case is U.S. v. Clemens, 10-cr-00223, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).

You are forgetting Seattle's best asset: lots of homeless people that can be easily dispatched and harvested for their organs. And you are ignoring the isolation of S Lake Union itself, which is the perfect place for hiding the electrical discharges that we all know (from Hollywood) are the stock and trade of the mad scientist.
The streets of South Lake Union will run red with blood of the homeless (and the blood of cyclists doing face plants because of the obnoxious new rails for the streetcar no one will ride).
SLU has plenty of fine options for study, reflection, and dining. I recommend Moka's (Mozzarella Madness, or any of the salads are excellent brainfood), Slo-Joes (spicy mac&cheese, don't forget the sriracha), or that weird Cinnamon's place where they serve pretty good curry at good prices. Or that Indian place on Fairview: Laadli? or Laadla? PLUS. Let us not forget that Russian spa Banya 5 graces SLU with its presence. A salt scrub and cold water plunge will aid any biotech brainstorm, any day.
I took the bus between the UD and South Lake Union twice a night for years... It's a straight shot on the 71, 72, or 73. Metro's fine. Let's not get snobby.
Oh damn, I forgot to mention the WHORES! They are everywhere down there! And most poor biotech employees just love a good cheap prostitute. Huge draw
Biotech is such a BS industry... firms looking for tax breaks convince cities that they're the first breaker in a long series of biotech waves when most cities that "get biotech" only see one or two firms and then that's that.
Crickey, how far is SLU from the UW, like a mile and a half? It's basically the closest area in downtown Seattle to the U., and its rents are relatively cheaper than other downtown rents, and it's where Fred Hutch is located. Hence, though it may not be perfect, it's as good as any big city is going to get. What is the point of this piece of handwringing? Yes, a glorious future full of easy biotech riches is not guaranteed. So what? It's not guaranteed anywhere. But it's still a very good bet here.
"Prepare for a huge opportunity to be blown."
Like deciding to return my ex's phone call. Like waving at Mark Finley. I got a million of 'em...
Um we are building the transit link to UW. Its called Link light rail and when its done you'll be able to go from Westlake to UW and if ST2 passes a lot farther. That street car the Stranger likes to deride goes form SLU to, wait for it, Westlake.
As for the whole where will biotech start, the answer is the same place it always has. Just because SLU becomes home to more established biotech it won't mean that biotech can't get going in more affordable parts of the city.
My hunch is that if most of you had your way nothing would ever get built in this city, no business would be wooed, and we would build no transit infrastructure if it in anyways benefits private land owners. Sorry but a lot of us want a vibrant downtown with big buildings, revenue and job generating businesses, and transit.
Let's start off with a few things. If you want intelligent pieces of information, you shouldn't read the original posts of any of the Stranger writers. Read the comments... much more intelligent, witty, and correct.
The Street Car is paid for by the city and the homeowner's that benefit from it's usage. The Streetcar's plans are to run to UW in Phase II of the project. The Street Car is so hated that nearly every neighborhood in Seattle is trying to figure out how they can build one in their area. Yes, a bad, bad thing it is.
The hub of biotech is probably in South Lake Union, but let's not forget that biotech companies want biotech employee's... and the more biotech employees there are in Seattle, the more Biotech companies we will have in Seattle. Amgen is expanding and hiring. UW Medicine is hiring and expanding (in South Lake Union). Not to mention Leroy Hood's organization... And yes, these companies do nothing. Zymogenetics is in trials for a powder that will stop bleeding instantly (perfect for surgeries) and is cohuts to create a bandaid that would stop the injury's progression as soon as you put it on. Amgen continues to come out with new and better drugs for the world to live longer. Yes, they are useless. Useless.
I went to South Lake Union's block party on Friday... probably the best party I have been to as far as neighborhoods go. Cheap food, great entertainment, lots of fun and exciting booths and of course, people. People from all over longing to live in a neighborhood downtown that is Green, walkable to all that the city holds, doesn't require 2 hours of siting in your car and cussing at traffic, and relatively priced. I bought a condo in South Lake Union for $245k... a lot cheaper than some of the studios I looked at in Belltown or lower Queen Anne and in a neighborhood that I know will be up and coming. A neighborhood that will continue to grow under an umbrella of positive change. I know that in Belltown and Lower Queen Anne, developers build based on profit. I know that if the profit isn't at what, 30%... they won't build it... and I know that they don't care if they build it and it doesn't fit into the community.
I don't think that's happening at South Lake Union. But then again... I am just someone that thinks a bit ahead... maybe wrong, maybe right, I bet my money that I am on the right side.
So, let's say I woke up this morning with a great idea to deal with three critical problems in embryonic stem cell therapies with one tidy little trick.
Could I found a company in Lake Union? In Seattle? In the region? Finding a vacant warehouse, sweeping out the rats and installing some desks wont cut it. Like any biotech start-up, Ill need lab space, with specialized equipment, air handling and utility support. Some fee-for-service cores, for things like DNA sequencing or animal handling, are essential. So is access to a proper academic libraryremember, most journal articles are subscription only.
Very little of the built or planned lab space in Lake Union is set up like this. The biotech incubator facilities on Eastlakenot technically in SLUare woefully inadequate. Nor are the support services in the pipeline. Without some far better developed incubator space for start-ups, the neighborhood will fail as a biotech hub. Period.
UW is already the largest single employer in the city. Do you honestly think the most talented faculty will stick around without the ability to start companies and fully develop ideas? This isnt a matter of real-estate or making a lovely neighborhood of near-downtown housing. This should be about economic development.
Think Im just being a whiner? Check out New York Citys biotech plan. That is serious, and likely to succeed despite serious disadvantages relative to Seattle. Ours is a joke in comparison.
Just like with building mass transportation "round here", the city and state will never do anything that requires vision and massive investment. As per usual, they'll say it costs too much and the status quo is perfectly fine.
That being said Jonathan, how about Bothell? There are quite a few small and medium sized biotech companies out there, but the drive back to seattle is pure traffic hell.
Poor transit options, expensive rents, and lack of quiet study spaces? These are problems for UW students, not biotech companies. There is plenty of lab space and VC; the limiting factor is good ideas for companies. And while UW folks are indeed good at generating basic research ideas that the NIH likes to fund, that doesn't mean they're coming up with a lot of practical/marketable ideas that would draw VC.
A mostly point-by-point commentary and rebuttal to the often ridiculous, hysterical and pointless lamentations and knee-jerk anti-wealthly-investor snifflings of Jonathan Golob:
It is true that the University of Washington has recently been awarded more publicly funded research support (from the NIH, NSF, DOD, etc.) than any other public university. Private universities, particularly Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Duke, Washington University in St. Louis and others, pull in similar if not greater amounts of federal research support. Notably, these private universities and many similarly competitive public ones lie within or close to other major established biotech hubs in the U.S.: Boston, New York, the Bay Area, N.C.s research triangle. Seattle already has a lot of very well-established (and nascent) competition. Developing Seattles biotech community will thus continue to require significant investment and support to recruit scientists, NIH funding, venture capital, etc. in the face of such national (and, increasingly, international) competition. Even Seattles talented and hard working scientists are feeling the pinch of the relative decline in our federal governments non-terrorism, non-defense-related research spending in the past seven years. Nothing is assured, and prior greatness in this field, while definitely important, is no guarantee for future success. Investment and redevelopment, particularly in an under-developed (and SLU was definitely that) urban environment, creates a desirable space in which potential biotech employees will want to work. Some of them may choose to live there or in close neighborhoods as well. Not all of us want to live and work in Bothell and, Jonathans salary-related complaints aside, we can still afford to live in Seattle as well. The cost of living is high here, yes, but riding a bike to work and not sitting in endless miles of traffic twice a day offset higher property values any day of the week.
Geographical distance in the biotech world also means precisely SQUAT. Everyone in this business reads papers from other research groups in their area of interest from around the world. Those same research groups are, by and large, the same people reading, reviewing and APPROVING grant applications and research papers submitted by scientists in Seattle. The global interconnectedness of modern scientific progress and research reporting means that actual geographical location is a decreasingly important factor in the genesis or support for ideas. Furthermore, a majority of the scientists living and working in Seattle have probably arrived here after receiving training and/or education somewhere else. Seattles geographic location and global connections thus results, I would argue, in the exact opposite: a blending of ideas, skills and interests originating from throughout the U.S. and the rest of the world, particularly the research powerhouses of East Asia and Europe. People come here to work and stay here because it is such a great place to live. People here get papers published and research grants funded because they convince people elsewhere that they are performing meaningful work on interesting projects. That very frequently means cowtowing to the groupthink that is in fact so pervasive and largely unavoidable in U.S. science, no matter how much the rest of us might disagree with it.
Mining data is one thing, doing anything productive with it is another. Rosetta Genomics is actually addressing this question productively and was so successful it was recently purchased by Merck. The Allen Brain Institute is likewise successfully developing (as a non-profit! Aghast!) a comprehensive gene expression atlas for the mammalian brain that represents a very important resource for the research and medical communities. Companies in this town have been very successful at data mining. The Institute for Systems Biology exists here, over on the north side of Lake Union. Seattle is part of the success story for this field. Failures in the application of bioinformatic approaches to drug development and other human health and disease applications are systematic, reflecting the gold rush mentality of (largely) non-scientist business people who, following the release of the first complete human genome sequence, stampeded any and all gene sequences in which their companies were interested straight to the patent office without first knowing whether those DNA sequences actually encoded anything useful. Now that that boom has largely bust, the rest of us can get back to work pursuing the next generation of medicine, including rational or tailored drug design. The age of the blockbuster drug may be over, but the beginning of individualistic medicine is only beginning and Seattle can be at the forefront of this effort.
Anyone who lives and works in South Lake Union must, by now, have developed at best a love/hate relationship with the trolley. Construction has been a serious pain in the ass and makes biking to or from work a hazardous adventure, but I just cant complain about an alternative form of transportation that will allow me to get from my office at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to downtown in just a few minutes (assuming I dont just want to ride my bike). I wont, for example, have to share the bus with whomever is riding the #70, which anyone familiar with Metro tales will appreciate can be interesting, to say the least. That said, I dont know why Seattle as a community hasnt started making more noise about expanding the service further and more quickly. I would love to hop on the trolley and be in Fremont or the U district in just a few minutes, too. Why dont we work to make alternative transportation choices a possibility rather than simply disparage them because of their limitations and/or potential clientele?
As to housing and transportation: one could lobby our city government more vocally for adequate rental space, given that so many rental units are being turned into condos and so few of the new living spaces being built these days are dedicated to rentals. Its supply and demand, people. If there is no demand, there will be no supply. Right now, there is apparently great demand for urban condos and townhomes. I dont know who all the people are that are supposed to be buying these properties, especially for the prices theyre asking, but eventually the market will saturate and correct itself. In the meantime, the city ought to be doing more to maintain cheaper rental housing if this community is truly being underserved.
Any decent biotech company should have quiet spaces to work in. You dont work at the Animal House Biotech, do you? If you dont have your own office, as I dont, you can always go to a library (the Hutch has a pretty quiet one, you dont have to go all the way to the UW), or a coffee shop, or just simply stay at home to write, as I sometimes do. However, as an employee and a professional scientist, I would expect that you would develop working methods and habits that allow you to write, think and be productive at your desk, where you can have access to the things you ought to be writing and thinking about (i.e. your bench science) and where your colleagues can have access to you and your expertise. If youre constantly off seeking solitude for peaceful reflection I would argue youre not being professional. On the whole, Id have to add that SLU is among the quietest neighborhoods in the city, provided the floatplanes taking off dont distract you.
On the subject of reagents, oligos arrive just a few days after you order them, as they do anywhere one doesnt have an in-house machine. Its significantly cheaper and more reliable to get them from outside suppliers these days. DNA sequencing takes a little longer, but what decent biotech company doesnt have at least one DNA sequencer in-house? Theyre not that expensive to operate and maintain. Staffing is probably more expensive, and if you know how to run the machine yourself you can do without a designated technician to run the machine.
As far as incubator space is concerned, they do exist and include 1616 Eastlake, which you have seen fit to disparage, as well as a few spaces on Thomas St. in SLU. These places exist and more of them are being built in Seattle as well as in Bothel, another nascent local biotech hub. Tacoma seems a terrible idea simply because its even FURTHER away from the resources and other critical mass of biomedical research knowledge here in Seattle that you have deemed so necessary for success. I do agree, though, that the Sounder needs to have far better service throughout the area. Running in both directions (and faster than 25mph through urban areas) all hours of the day would be a great addition to another wise mystifyingly bad and unidirectional service schedule. The Sounder as it currently stands represents yet another Seattle-area head-up-own-ass transportation network that just doesnt make the grade for convenient, comprehensive and rapid mass transit.
Vulcan as an organization is not a scientific enterprise. Its essentially a real-estate company. Theyre not responsible for developing the ideas that go into creating a start-up biotech company and theyre not even responsible for creating the space. Theyve simply been doing so in an effort to support an industry that will help further diversify Seattles economy and educated community. Of course, they do so because they see a profit to be reaped from such development. However, even a company with the backing of Vulcan cant carry the entire weight of this responsibility alone, particularly when the national research funding that supports the vast majority of scientific research at institutions such as UW has been dwindling (and with it, ideas or research that could be spun off into biotech). Make no mistake, the success of UW in garnering research funding does not mean we havent felt the pinch here in Seattle, because we have. The success or failure of Seattles biotech community doesnt rest on the amount of research space Vulcan builds or the distance the SLU trolley will run. Nor, for that matter, does it rest with our current Governor, unimpressive as she may often be. The genesis of the LSDF can be traced back to the tobacco settlements and, at least so far as WA state legislation is concerned, to 2003-2004s legislative sessions preceeding the last elections.
@12: Agreed with everything above except for "the national research funding that supports the vast majority of scientific research at institutions such as UW has been dwindling." The NIH funds more research than ever before. Yes, the funding rate for individual grants has dropped significantly, but (1) the number of applications has gone way up because of new/expanding departments and institutes, and (2) the NIH is directing new funding to "centers of excellence" and other huge grants that cover dozens of scientists.
