Professor Emeritus, Department of Cell Biology
Professor Emeritus, Department of Pathology
Liver Repopulation and Gene Therapy Using Fetal Liver Stem/Progenitor Cells and Genetically Re-engineered Adult Hepatocytes
Dr. Shafritz' research has focused on regulation of liver gene expression, cell growth control, liver regeneration and liver reconstitution through cell transplantation. A number of years ago, he discovered that bipotent stem cells from the rat fetal liver expand several thousand fold after their transplantation into a normal adult liver, differentiate into both hepatocytes and bile ducts, replace ~25% of hepatic mass, become structurally and functionally integrated into the liver tissue and form completely new liver lobules. Liver replacement occurs by cell competition, during which the faster growing fetal liver cells repopulate the liver by inducing apoptosis in much slower growing host hepatocytes, a mechanism originally described in Drosophila during wing development.
Dr. Shafritz and his research staff recently reproduced the rat liver repopulation model using normal adult hepatocytes that have been transduced with a lentivirus containing a human Yap gene linked to the estrogen receptor (lenti-Yap ERT2). Expression of Yap, the effector gene of the Hippo kinase signaling pathway, induces proliferation of cells and controls organ size. This leads to liver hyperplasia and hepatic tumors in Yap transgenic mice, but in the Yap ERT2 transduced hepatocyte transplantation system, biological activity of Yap was controlled by linking it to the estrogen receptor which keeps expressed Yap protein in the cytoplasm in a non-functional state. When tamoxifen is administered, Yap ERT2 protein transfers to the nucleus, where it binds to chromatin, serves as a transcriptional coactivator of TEADs and induces expression of genes involved in cell cycle progression and cell proliferation. Thus, Yap function is controlled by a novel protein trafficking mechanism that is regulated by tamoxifen administration.
Repopulation of the normal rat liver by lenti Yap ERT2 transduced hepatocyte is ~10% at 6 mo. after cell transplantation and more than 20% after one year. This has significant medical implications, because this level of repopulation is more than twice that necessary to treat a number of genetic-based metabolic disorders of the liver that do not have ongoing or underlying liver injury, but nonetheless lead to serious clinical diseases. Among these diseases are Crigler-Najjar Syndrome, Type 1 which causes hyperbilirubinemia, brain damage and mental retardation, ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency which causes ammonia toxicity, coma and death, LDL-receptor deficiency which causes heart attacks and strokes in children and adolescents, phenylketonuria which causes brain damage and mental retardation, and Factor IX deficiency which causes severe hemophilia. These diseases cannot be cured by transplanting unmodified adult hepatocytes because the transplanted cells have no proliferative advantage over host hepatocytes and will not expand and effectively repopulate the liver after their transplantation. Based on the above studies, Dr. Shafritz and colleagues have obtained new NIH funding to pursue this research.
Ongoing projects include:
1) Determining the mechanism by which Yap transduced hepatocytes repopulate the liver. Whether they behave as stem cells, whether they are serially transplantable and whether they can be maintained in culture and subsequently used for repopulation, which cannot be achieved with non-transduced adult hepatocytes.
2) Developing an in vitro cell competition assay to identify the factor(s) produced by fetal liver stem/progenitor cells that induce apoptosis in normal adult hepatocytes (an important component in cell competition) and the genes expressed in fetal liver cells or in Yap transduced hepatocytes that render these cells resistant to apoptosis (further enhancing their repopulation potential).
3) Conducting laser capture microdissection studies in conjunction with RNA seq to identify specific genes that control the proliferative potential of fetal liver stem cells and lenti-Yap ERT2 transduced hepatocytes vs. host hepatocytes in the cell transplanted liver and regulate cell competition during liver repopulation.
4) Determining whether Yap transduced hepatocytes that have repopulated the liver can be serially passaged, whether these cells revert to a less differentiated or oncogenic phenotype and assess the level of tumor risk incurred by introducing lenti Yap ERT2 into adult hepatocytes and transplanting these cells into a normal or diseased liver.
5) Determining whether effective repopulation of the liver by lenti Yap transduced hepatocytes can be achieved in animal models of hepatic fibrosis caused by chronic liver injury. Recent results reported in collaboration with former colleague, Dr. Michael Oertel, showing very modest repopulation of the fibrotic rat liver by transplanting normal hepatocytes suggest that in this chronic injury/fibrotic model repopulation could be markedly increased using lenti-Yap ERT2 transduced hepatocytes. It may also be possible to couple Yap ERT2 hepatocyte transplantation with anti-fibrotic therapy to cure advanced hepatic fibrosis and restore liver function. Success in these experiments would have major implications in the potential use of hepatic cell therapy in liver fibrosis/cirrhosis for which the only currently available alternative is whole liver transplantation.
6) Determining whether human hepatocytes transduced with Yap can repopulate the liver a mouse model system that accepts human xenographs (the Nod/SCID/gc null mouse).

Herbalife's Wild Ride Continues: Shares Jump Again
The comeback for Herbalifees is continuing on Friday.
The nutritional-supplement maker's battered stock is up for a third straight day, rising as much as 8.6%. Nearly twice the average amount shares have traded on Friday, according to FactSet.
Shares are up about 15% since Christmas Eve.
But as the chart shows, the stock remains a far cry from where it traded just last week, after Pershing Square founder Bill Ackman made his highly publicized wager against the company.
Ackman said he's been shorting Herbalife for months, in a negative wager that he described as enormous. He also said Herbalife operates as a "pyramid scheme." He said distributors, or salespeople, for the Los Angeles-based company make
more money by recruiting other distributors than by selling the company's diet and nutritional products.
Ackman's presentation has sparked a big rebuttal from the company and a spirited debate among investors.

- Herbalife Downgraded: Analyst Warns of Loan Covenant Breach After KPMG
Others have jumped on board. T2 Partners' Whitney Tilson earlier this week said he's also shorting Herbalife shares, while describing Pershing Square's Herbalife analysis as "the most remarkable piece of investment analysis I have ever seen."
But other hedge-fund managers have publicly said they are taking the other side of Ackman's bet and are buying the stock. Those investors say Ackman didn't break much ground on the controversial multi-level marketing industry, while noting the stock has fallen too far, too fast, and may be ripe to continue bouncing back, at least in the short term.
What seems clear now is all eyes are fixated on Jan. 10, the day Herbalife is planning to hold an analyst and investor meeting. Herbalife has said it will offer a "comprehensive response to investor questions on its business model."
Herbalife has hired a strategic advisor to combat the recent wave of criticism. The company is also is working with law firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP, according to people familiar with the matter.
Until then, expect the recent whipsawed trading in Herbalife shares to continue.
As for the stock's comeback, well, it still has a long way to go. Shares are still down more than 40% this year.

OAKLAND -- Umpire crew chief Bill Miller reached out to A's manager Bob Melvin Friday morning to try and explain the umpiring crew's reasoning in the second inning call that resulted in the A's playing Thursday's game under protest.
The protest became moot when the A's wound up winning the game 4-1, but the challenge put forth by the Blue Jays gave Toronto the game's first run, and the A's weren't happy.
"I had a conversation with Bill Miller this morning,'' Melvin said. "He came over and explained to me what the thought process was. I appreciate that and I think it was probably a no-win for anybody at the time. I appreciate them trying to keep me up to speed with that they were thinking.''
It was a muddle.
With the bases loaded and one out, Nate Freiman handled a grounder, tried to tag Jays base runner Munenori Kawasaki as he went by, missing him. He then threw to the plate to Stephen Vogt, the catcher stepping on the plate for a force out. Jays manager John Gibbons challenged, saying Kawasaki was out.
That meant the innings' second out, but it also meant Edwin Encarnacion would score because the force was no longer in effect and Vogt hadn't tagged Encarnacion. The umps saw it the Jays' way, and the A's played the game under protest from that point, saying the first call materially affected the play at the plate.
"It was a tough one,'' Melvin said. "But again they (the umpires) are at the mercy of what the guys upstairs are telling them. Even if they had a particular thought, it's going to be decided by the people upstairs. I'm glad it didn't get to the point where it affected outcome of the game and to where you need to make a decision on the protest.''
He said he didn't need much prompting to memorize his lines.
"My dad loved Lou Gehrig, and because of that so did I,'' Moss said. He wore Gehrig's No. 4 as a Little Leaguer. "We watched 'Pride of the Yankees' before every Little League game I played. Every one.''
When Melvin received a visit from Cespedes just a couple of minutes later, the outfielder said he was good to play in left field.
That made for some restructuring that led to Derek Norris getting into the lineup as the catcher and Alberto Callaspo getting the start off.
Melvin said an MRI on the player's leg showed a slight muscle tear instead of the calf strain that was the original diagnosis.
That being the case, the A's don't expect to see Blanks back in uniform any time soon, and that means more time at the big league level for the man who replaced him on the roster, first baseman Nate Freiman.

Reward offered in robbery at Alabama One Credit Union
Published: Saturday, November 2, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 1, 2013 at 11:28 p.m.
Police are still searching for three suspects who robbed the Alabama One Credit Union main branch last week.
The robbery, which was occurred just before 10 a.m. Oct. 25, was at the branch at 1000 Jack Warner Parkway NE.
Witnesses said that two men, one armed with a shotgun and another armed with a pistol, took money from a teller before leaving in a black Toyota Camry driven by a third man. Police swarmed the area of Jack Warner Parkway and used the department's helicopter in an attempt to catch the suspects, who drove east on Jack Warner Parkway toward Holt.
They were still at large a week later. Tuscaloosa CrimeStoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for anyone with information about their identities. An anonymous donor has pledged an additional $10,000. CrimeStoppers can be reached at 205-752-STOP (7867).

As Hurricane Rita slammed through the gulf early Saturday morning, a local church was finishing up preparations for evacuees. United Methodist Church is preparing to serve meals for 100 people this weekend. News 12 is on your side to show you how churches are taking care of evacuees right here in our area.
While Red Cross volunteers wait for evacuees, Ray Burnette is busy in the kitchen cooking for 100.
"Preparing lunch and dinner for evacuees. Lunch is going to be baked chicken, green beans, corn, rolls and chocolate cake," Burnette said.
Ray, a construction worker by day, is using his culinary skills for a good cause.
"I went to school to be an executive chef," Burnette said.
The church expected anywhere from 50-100 people to show up at their shelter. Right now they only have seven. So like any kitchen, Ray had to be ready for unexpected changes.
"Prepared it for 100, but I scaled it down," Burnette said.
"Our goal is to get them back home or in a hotel ASAP, we expect that to happen maybe tomorrow so we'll stay open at least another night," said Ron Schear, church volunteer.
Despite the low turnout, Ray says you have to be prepared.
"Gotta have food on site just in case more come in," Burnette said.
"You get ready in case they show up, and if they don't, they don't," Schear said.
Either way, the church sees this as an opportunity to learn from.
"That's probably a good thing this is the first time we opened up a shelter and we're looking at it as a training experience," Schear said.
One that Ray and the other volunteers hope they'll never have to prepare for again.

URBANA, Ill. – In his debut match of the 2013 NCAA Men's Singles Championship, 88th-ranked Peter Nagy of the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi tennis team was defeated 6-2, 6-1 by 57th-ranked Malte Stropp of Mississippi State on Wednesday. Nagy became the first Islander to take part in the men's singles draw in program history.
"Peter had a great season, it was tough to see it come to an end today," Director of Tennis Steve Moore said. "Malte Stropp played a great match, give Mississippi State credit. This was a very tough matchup for us – a big, left-handed guy with weapons. I thought Peter prepared very well and competed very well. This is the style of guy that we need to work on being able to beat for him. There's probably seven or eight matchups in tennis, and this was probably the toughest one, so it's an area that we can improve on.
"Peter is an extremely motivated guy and as he matures and gets stronger, this is the kind of player I'd like to see him get another opportunity to play against next year," Moore continued. "I'm so proud of Peter and the improvement he made this year. His future is incredibly bright. He showed up and played every match as hard as you can ask this season, and as he matures and continues to get older and stronger, the sky is the limit for him.
The defeat brought to an end a historic season, as the Islanders men's team won their sixth straight Southland regular-season championship and the women had their finest season in school history, finishing second in the regular season and advancing to the tournament championship match.
"It's tough to see this season come to an end, but I'm already excited for next year," Moore said. "We'll be back to chopping wood tomorrow, working to get better."
Moore was also quick to credit the University of Illinois for putting on a first-class event.
"I can't speak highly enough of the University of Illinois, coach Brad Dancer and his staff did this week running the NCAA Championships," Moore said. "This was one of the most highly organized, well-run tournaments we've ever played. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for the experience they gave these student-athletes."
The match was played on Court No. 1 of the Khan Tennis Complex at the Atkins Tennis Center on a huge stage, and Nagy became a fan favorite.
"It was really special for our university to be put on Court 1 at the NCAA National Championships against an SEC opponent," Moore said. "It meant a lot to see so many people in the college tennis world cheering for Peter and the Islanders on such a big stage. I never like to lose, but I felt so proud of our university, our athletics department and our tennis community."
Nagy completed his spring 16-4 in the dual match season, with three of his four losses coming to ranked opponents. He went 3-3 against foes in the national rankings. In the fall, he lost just one match, winning the Marco & Co. Islanders Open and the Rice Galleria Fall Invite, both ITA-sanctioned events, while reaching the Round of 16 at the ITA tournament.
Nagy was an automatic qualifier from the Southland Conference after winning the conference championship at No. 1 singles and being ranked in the top 125 singles players in the nation. He was named the Southland Player of the Year in addition to being a First Team All-Southland selection for both singles and doubles.

The Cavaliers were able to extend the lead to ten with a 7-0 run the first 2:16 in the second half. The Rams then began fighting back and took a two point lead with 2:57 left to play on a jumper by Teqa McNeal. After a missed three-point shot by McNeal on the Rams next offensive possession MaKenzie Cluesman gave the Cavs the lead for good with her second made three-pointer of the night.
Chelsea Cluesman returned to true form having a double-double and game-high 25 point and 13 rebounds. Kenzie Poindexter recorded a career high 14 points, making four of five, three point shots. Bluefield was led by Teqa McNeal with 19 points and Janee Simmons who had a double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds.
The win improves the Cavaliers to 7-15 overall and 4-9 Mid-South play. Meanwhile, the loss drops the Rams to 14-10 and 6-8 in the Mid-South. The Cavs are back in action this Thursday when the team travels to St. Catherine for a 6:00 pm game. You can hear all the action on www.uvawisecavs.com.

Finding a natural solution
By Gina Souders
Health, Cardamom, Pepper, Cayenne, Cinnamon, Garlic, Horseradish, Ginger, Winter, Circulation, Warming Herbs, Warming Spices
I don't know about you, but soup is a winter staple my house. We stock up on a variety of canned soups—rich in potatoes, carrots and beef—whenever they are on sale at our local supermarket. They always warm my husband and me up on frigid days.
According to Brigitte Mars, nutritional consultant from The Huffington Post, herbs and spices can also help improve circulation during winter months. (Click here to read the story.) Mars suggests these seven herbs and spices:
1. Black Pepper. It has antiseptic and antioxidant properties.

Well my girlfriend her laptop has been peacefully converted to the nice distribution Ubuntu. It took me some time, first with a live cd, then a dual boot together with Windows, etc, to get her used to ubuntu, Then the magical mkfs command on the windows partition to finally free up some wasted discspace.
Now a days Daniela is very happy with the move to ubuntu, her laptop works just fine and she has all the programs she needs (besides yahoo photomail :-( ) It took some adaption time, but not to much though.
It would be nice as a gift for her, to have the Ubuntu for non geeks so she might just further explore the operation system in all its glory!
Keep it up!
Jelle, Barcelona.
I really like Ubuntu Linux. I am currently running it on an old (2000) Mac G3 400 Powerbook that I got for less than $100. Runs very well, much faster than OSX. And doesnt take up nearly as much of my 10gb hard drive! Now if I can just get my family to take to it, I could put it on my Dell box too. Im surely not "upgrading" to that new nightmare called Vista.
Trying to maintain both Fedora Core Development and Ubuntu Edgy Eft (development, obviously given that Edgy isn't officially released yet); I'm finding Ubuntu to be better-behaved
my story with ubuntu :) its first time i use and installing OS from my self and i buy new hard drive in my laptop for ubuntu
really its so nice and i go away from windows
I'm having a wonderful time exploring Ubuntu, it's just great.
Just one wee problem...I can't get the printer working despite scouring the Forums and try various suggestions.
I sure could use that book!
ubuntu is great
I have been using ubuntu for a number of years now( actually since warty was 1st released) I have found it to be one of the most user friendly and useful linux distributions around. I have been keeping as upto date as possibly with the current versions and also order the official cd's and distribute them to friends and also to small computer retailers/repairers.I currently have ubuntu installed on an old pentium II and an IBM 1161 thinkpad with celeron 500 processor. both installed easily and i have only had minimal problems.the thing i really love about ubuntu is the amount of choice you have in just about everything. its a wonderful distro.
As a newbie to Linux in general, having tried to live with MS Xp,(and ground my tooth), i started the hunt for a neat and flexible OS. Let us all congratulate Ubuntu for a really clean and clear system, The graphics are especially good, and the ability to ubdate just what you like is sensible. The package content is not complete, and the lack of DVD player is difficult to live with. However, overall it is showing MS the way, and we can have fun getting our own flavour of Ubuntu singing!

SAN JOSE — Brent Burns will pick up where he left off next season, staying at power forward rather than returning to his previous role as a defenseman.
The Sharks had hedged on which position Burns would play in 2013-14, but General Manager Doug Wilson said Friday that he and coach Todd McLellan want Burns back at right wing where he scored nine goals and 11 assists in 24 regular season games, then added two goals and two assists in the playoffs on a line with Joe Thornton.
"How we want to play up front -- go after people and make them defend, Burnzie just fits perfect," Wilson said. "He still will be able to play the point on the power play and we can utilize his big shot, but I think we saw how good he could be and how he could impact games at a forward."
The Sharks' depth on defense also was a factor in the decision, Wilson said.
Injuries limited Burns to 30 games last season, and he struggled when trying to return to play as a defenseman. McLellan, who worked with Burns in the minors while the two were in the Minnesota Wild organization, knew that Burns had experience as a forward, and moved him into that role in mid-March. The experiment was an immediate success.
"I think it's only going to get better," Wilson said. "He'll train specifically for that this summer, giving him that clarity and focus. I think he is a dominant power forward in this league."
The general manager added that "doesn't limit what we may do in the future with him, but this coming year, that's what we've pegged him in for."
Burns said at the end of the season he didn't care where the team wanted him to play as long as he had adequate notice so that he could train accordingly.
It's not a common move, especially with a high-end player. The most-recent case was Dustin Byfuglien, then with Chicago, now with Winnipeg.

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - Joe Timlin loved snowboarding - and people in the sport loved him.
Timlin, 32, died April 20 in an avalanche near Loveland Pass, along with dear friend Chris Peters and Ryan Novack, Ian Lamphere, Rick Gauke.
Monday, Timlin's home in Gypsum was filled with friends and relatives. As people talked about Timlin, "love" was mentioned, a lot: Love for his sport, his job, and, particularly, his wife, Krissy Sprinkle-Timlin. As much as Timlin loved snowboarding, he loved Krissy that much more.
"He told me I was his driving force - that every step he took was for me," Krissy said .
And Timlin was taking some big steps in the snowboarding business. He fell in love with the sport in high school, in the 1990s. He started working in a Gart Sports (now Sports Authority) rental shop at 16, and quickly learned as much as he possibly could about the sport.
It was working as a technician that he met Krissy's sister, Megan Pischke and her husband, David Porchern, both professional snowboarders. They helped him land his current job as a regional sales manager for Nidecker US, the Swiss company that distributes YES and Jones snowboards, along with other brands.
Pischke was impressed with Timlin's spirit, and his knowledge about the sport.
"I called him my snow geek," she said. "He always knew about snow temperatures, and what waxes to use."
Josh Clements, an account manager for Nidecker US, said Timlin knew snowboards literally from the inside out.
"Joe knew how to talk the talk - he had a real great understanding of the equipment," Clements said.
Beyond that, though, was his passion for the sport, which he tried to share with anyone he talked to.
"We called him 'durable' at the shop," friend Mike Crabb said. "If there was powder, he'd want you out there every day - he always found time to ride."
Greg Ladow and Timlin were fast friends from their high school years and have been "joined at the hip" ever since. Ladow said most people don't know Timlin was an outstanding high school hockey player - until he discovered snowboarding.
"He's been picking out my gear ever since," Ladow said.
That passion for snowboarding was infused with a huge shot of joy.
"He was always there with a big smile and a high-five," friend Rob Bak said.
Timlin and Bak got to the Vail Valley about the same time, Bak said, adding he couldn't really remember meeting Timlin for the first time. He was just always around, always in the in the valley's snowboarding community.
Besides his life's work, snowboarding also gave Timlin the love of his life. He'd met Krissy through her sister and brother-in-law. Timlin told Krissy the night they met that they'd be married someday.
Big sister Megan thought Timlin seemed "really nice," but Krissy played hard-to-get at first.
"I'd never met someone so honest," she said. "I didn't know what to do."
She was soon won over, though, and the couple was married in July of 2011. They had big plans for the future, and loved when they were able to get together with Porchern and Pischke at their home in the Northwest.
Timlin especially loved his in-laws' daughter, Leighli, now six.
"She named her first doll JoJo," Pischke said.
And snowboarding had some big plans for Timlin. Porchern, one of the founders of YES, said Timlin was on the road to becoming an engineer for the company.
But angles, stress loads and the data part of board design are worthless unless the boards ride well - that's where the joy is.
That's what was special about Timlin, Pischke said.
"In a world where so many people get concerned with money, or having things, Joe wasn't like that," she said. "He wanted everyone to be as excited about snowboarding as he was."
But nothing could match the excitement Timlin had for Krissy.
"I'll never know love like I did with him," she said. "People go their whole lives and don't know love like that. I'll carry that the rest of my life."

Into the Wild
I admire Jon Krakauer's book Into the Wild quite a bit, and so I was wary about seeing the movie. What I most like about the book is the interplay between Krakauer's sensibility and Chris McCandless's story -- Krakauer understands the mix of idealism, frustration, and foolhardiness that led McCandless to abandon as many of the accoutrements of civilization as he could, dub himself "Alexander Supertramp", and set out with very little preparation or knowledge, eventually heading for the wilderness of Alaska -- and yet Krakauer is also different enough in temperament from McCandless to be able to provide a counter-narrative through his wrestling with the implications of McCandless's actions, ideas, and mistakes. It's not as drastic a counter-narrative as Werner Herzog provides the story of a somewhat similar Alaskan dreamer, Timothy Treadwell, in Grizzly Man, but it's enough to make the book compelling and thought-provoking.
Alas, the movie Sean Penn has made is a sentimental and declawed version of Krakauer's book. I didn't really hate it -- Emile Hirsch gives a warm and dedicated performance as McCandless, which makes the movie generally pleasant to watch -- but every time I was about to fully surrender myself to the characters and events, something annoyed me, and the more I've thought about Into the Wild as a whole, the more I've been frustrated by its many lost possibilities.
A story like Chris McCandless's cries out for a visionary director, and I couldn't help wondering throughout Into the Wild what a director like Herzog or Terrence Malick or even David Lynch would have done with the material, because Penn is too pedestrian a filmmaker -- too given to visual, audio, and narrative cliches -- to do real justice to the source material.
The music for the movie consists mostly of songs by Eddie Vedder, and though I like some of the individual songs, they are used so obtrusively that they turn otherwise interesting scenes into banal music videos. At moments of emotional intensity, the score (by Michael Brook) reverts to strings, letting us know this is a place where we're supposed to feel. (There's a nice moment, though, when Hirsch and Kristen Stewart perform a pleasant duet of one of my favorite songs, John Prine's "Angel from Montgomery". It's contrived and obvious, but it's such a good song I didn't mind.) The editing and cinematography don't help -- each shot is designed for short attention spans, and much of the footage of wilderness looked to me like it could have been taken from any anonymous nature documentary. (For comparison, take a look at a masterpiece like Paris, Texas.)
And then there's the voiceover. Usually, the voiceover is of McCandless's sister, Carine, who yaks about Chris and about life after he disappeared from the family. It's at best unnecessary, at worst a clumsy reiteration of things we could figure out otherwise or decide for ourselves. (At the end, we get Chris himself taking over the voiceover.) Worse, though, are words from McCandless's writings occasionally scrawled across the screen in big, handwriting-style yellow letters that seem more appropriate to a show on Nikelodeon circa 1988 than to a movie such as Into the Wild seems to aspire to be.
The biggest problem I have with Into the Wild as a film, though, is that it presents McCandless as a holy fool. Wherever he goes, he makes people seek out what is meaningful in existence, he makes them recognize love, he helps them see beyond consumerism and materialism and other, like, bad stuff. So even though he might not, himself, have the best end, he nonetheless helps other people find meaning in their lives, repair their relationships, and dream. It's the sort of gooey, optimistic woo-woo appealing to everybody from people who use the word "spirituality" without a trace of irony to devout fundamentalists of various religions, and in that sense it's hardly different from the average feel-good movie or get-well card.
McCandless sought some sort of truth, and in seeking this truth he sacrificed absolutely everything. That's the sort of idealist I like, the sort of person who sticks to deep convictions and tries to build a life from them, even if they do so rashly or ignorantly. Herzog is attracted to this sort of figure, and has spoken of "ecstatic truth" as a goal of his films, and though this idea is a bit abstract for my tastes, nonetheless it leads Herzog to produce interesting work, and I wish Penn had been better able to aim for such a truth; instead, he emitted rote simulacra of ecstacy, reducing McCandless's quest for truth to, more often than not, comfortably familiar imagery and easy emotions.
There are, though, redeeming aspects to the film, including some of the scenes of McCandless's last days -- visceral scenes presented without bombast. There are some fine performances (especially by Hal Holbrook) that transcend the inspirational-movie-of-the-week situations the actors have been given for material. At brief moments, the music gets out of the way and we are allowed some choice and ambiguity in how we will respond emotionally. The attention to books throughout the movie, and McCandless's fascination with writers such as Tolstoy and Jack London, will please anyone who has carried books around as totems and companions.
I suppose, then, that my strongest feelings about Into the Wild as a film are feelings of disappointment -- disappointment at the lost potential to film the story as something unique and powerful, something that escapes received ideas and gestures; disappointment that the fleeting moments of real excellence couldn't be extended.

Good review - I haven't seen the film yet, but I did read the book years ago.ReplyDelete
I was afraid that Sean Penn would handle the book in the superficial way you described.
I disliked almost everything about this film. I see quite a few films but none really strike me as anything I'd hate. I hated this film. The music at times seemed to be a clawless Cat Stevens impression as if he wanted to rescore Harold and Maude. Christopher was clearly a jerk. Hirsch played him with grinning idiot sympathy which didn't work. The actual Chris seemed like a moocher and a freeloader who truly didn't want to live off the grid but had a chip on his shoulder about people telling him what to do. In fact it was that very issue that killed him. Ideals don't keep you alive in the wilderness, skills do.ReplyDelete
Thanks for giving me a place to vent about this damn film.

It's amazing how shallow and uninspired this review is. In my life, there haven't been many movies that have ever really changed something about my day-to-day existentialism, but this has been one of them. The lack of passion you have towards this film probably crosses into your life and causes you to listen to equally soul-less music. This film wasn't aimed at people like you to begin with, so my feelings won't get hurt when you just keep humping the American Dream. If you really hate this film, I'm sure the book wouldn't do much for you either since it's probably not within your picket-fence parameters of ignorance.ReplyDelete
Ahhh, Dear Anonymous! You have convinced me! Yes, I am shallow! That is why I could not recognize this masterpiece for the genius that it is! That is why, despite having enjoyed the book quite a bit (for the reasons mentioned in the shallow and uninspired review, which you clearly did not read, but rather decided to hate the moment you discovered it was not enamored of the film's brilliance), despite having frequently proclaimed such writers as Thoreau and Barry Lopez among the most important to me, despite having even for a time during college worked with radical environmental organizations ... despite all this, yes, I am an ignorant tool of the American system of commodification and consumption and you you you are the enlightened one! Thank you for shedding some of your light on me!ReplyDelete

Without ever meeting Chris, or even reading the book, I watched the film with out any preconceived ideas. I understand that it's probably a watered down version of the book, and the people are probably not anything like the film portrays them as being. But the film, by itself, has inspired me greatly. I love everything about it. It is one of only films that ever moved me to tears.ReplyDelete

America's Champion Swimmer
by David A. Adler Illustrated by Terry Widener
Trudy Ederle loved to swim. And she was determined to be the best. At seventeen Trudy won three medals at the 1924 Olympics, in Paris. By the time she turned nineteen, Trudy had set twenty-nine U.S. and world records. But what she planned to do next had never been done--by a woman. She would tackle the most difficult swim of all time: the twenty-one miles of cold, choppy water that separate England from France. Trudy's historic fourteen-hour swim across the English Channel set a world record. She defied those who said it couldn't be done. And with her courage and endurance, Trudy Ederle became a symbol for women everywhere. -By the award-winning team that created" Lou Gehrig: The Luckiest Man " -Includes a historical author's note -Features one of the most celebrated female athletes of the century

Java EE 7 Permission Declarations
By lmccay on May 11, 2012
The Need for Permission Declarations
Some Java EE applications require specific Java SE Permissions to be granted to them for them to operate properly in the deployed environment.
At the same time, it is imperative that system administrators be able to configure their installations in such a way as to best protect the installation and operating environment. Emerging deployment scenarios within the cloud as well as traditional enterprise deployments may have various levels of needed restriction based on different levels of trusted code and sensitivity of resources.
In order to meet the needs of applications requiring specific permission grants it has been common to have to add statements to policy files within the installation to grant permissions to the appropriate codebase and restart the application server.
While this puts the control of the permission grants in the hands of the system administrator and ensures that specific action is taken in order to have these permissions granted to the applications, it is a tedious and error prone task. Applications have had no standard way to communicate their requirements for such permissions and are often run in development environments that are not running with security manager enabled or with AllPermission being granted to all codebases. Once they are staged in a new environment with security manager enabled, attempts to access protected resources cause runtime failures or worse, code paths that would cause runtime failures aren't executed until later in testing or even production environments.
Consider the PaaS/cloud environment now. Such manual granting of certain permissions for specific applications would never work. In addition, granting overarching permission sets to all applications would be ill advised and a violation of the principle of least privilege (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_privilege). Application deployers would potentially need to know how to describe the permissions required for an application in the management pages of a PaaS provider's offering. They would have to know how to do this in the offering of any other current or future providers as well.
How can we communicate an application's need for specific permissions in a standard manner and, at the same time, retain the system administrator's flexibility to secure the Java EE installation to meet the needs of the enterprise or cloud provider's security policies?
Enter the Champion: Permission Declarations Appear
By extending the metadata provided with an application to declare the specific permissions required by that application, the deployment machinery of an application server can assess the declarations within the context of the installation configuration. Application servers may provide configuration that limits the granting of certain permissions based on the level of trusted code to deployed to the installation or the sensitivity of the resources available to the server instance, etc.
The processing of the declarations, as described in the proposed specification changes, requires deployment of the application to fail when its declared permissions include permissions that are in violation of the security policy for the installation. It also requires that all declared permissions be granted to applications that successfully deploy to the environment.
This mechanism will now provide the application developer the means to declare the application's need for specific permission grants without involving the system administrator, without the deployer having to learn policy configuration pages, without the PaaS provider having to make such pages available and still retain the system administrator's control over the installation policy and what permissions are granted to applications.
The fact that the declarations are provided within the context of an application affords us the ability to simplify the syntax. We don't need to specify the codebase of the grant since it is implied the declaration's residence inside the application archive.
A simple xml descriptor to represent the declaration should look like something along the lines of:
Listing 1. permissions.xml example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
It has been suggested that it may make sense to add a description to the declaration as well. Tooling and management pages would then be able to display more context around the application's need for the permission. This may be helpful when there is a need for manual intervention for resolving grants by the administrator or deployer.
Applications that do not bundle a permissions.xml file are fully backward compatible and any permissions that are required by the application are subject to the security policy of the installation. The security policy may or may not grant all of the permissions required by a given application. There is however a baseline set of permissions that are guaranteed to be able to be configured as the default permission set for any Java EE product.
Those permissions are defined within the Java EE 1.6 Platform Specification as (http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=316):
Table EE.6-2 Java EE Security Permissions Set
Security Permissions Target Action
Application Clients
java.awt.AWTPermission accessClipboard
java.awt.AWTPermission accessEventQueue
java.awt.AWTPermission showWindowWithoutWarningBanner
java.lang.RuntimePermission exitVM
java.lang.RuntimePermission loadLibrary.*
java.lang.RuntimePermission queuePrintJob
java.net.SocketPermission * connect
java.net.SocketPermission localhost:1024- accept,listen
java.io.FilePermission * read,write
java.util.PropertyPermission * read
Applet Clients
java.net.SocketPermission codebase connect
java.util.PropertyPermission limited read
Web Components and EJB Components
java.lang.RuntimePermission loadLibrary.*
java.lang.RuntimePermission queuePrintJob
java.net.SocketPermission * connect
java.io.FilePermission * read,write
java.util.PropertyPermission * read
Again, these permissions are guaranteed to be available to applications given an installation's security policy that allows them.
The best way for applications to know for sure whether their required permissions are granted will be by declaring them through permissions.xml. Doing so will let the deployer know through their ability to successfully deploy the application.
Permission declarations will be a great enhancement to the programming model and administration of security policy for Java EE applications. Using this feature will provide the earliest indication that a required permission has not been granted and make for a better experience for developers, deployers, admins and end users.

EAGLE COUNTY - Sandra Smyser is in a crowd of parents and pupils, greeting people, remembering names. She feels a gentle tug at her right elbow.
A father tells her how his children are flourishing in their school and how happy he is.
"That's what makes me happy," Smyser said.
Smyser is Eagle County's superintendent of schools and is this year's Colorado Superintendent of the Year, chosen by the Colorado Association of School Executives.
Colorado has 178 school districts and they all have a superintendent, so this honor doesn't come around more than about once in a lifetime.
"It's once a year and an honor I carry with me forever," Smyser said.
Smyser will travel to a national conference in February where nationwide winner will be announced.
It's a simple enough process. Someone nominates you. You fill out an application packet, send it in and then get back to work and it doesn't cross your mind for a long time.
Eventually, the association selects some finalists and asks everyone to come to Denver for an interview. Smyser's panel fired questions from all over the room; she had a perfect fielding percentage.
That was Monday and it didn't take long to decide - the association made the announcement Wednesday.
She was never a state champion, she said. She is now.
Smyser has been in education for more years than some of her teachers are old. This is her 15th year as a superintendent. She was a teacher and administrator for at least 10 years before that.
She started as a bilingual special education teacher.
"That's what I really loved when I started. I was always fascinated by the difference in the way different students learned, how something that worked for one didn't work for another," she said. "That has always been my focus, how can we meet the needs of different kids."
That's at the core of the school district's new curriculum, she said.
High achieving students are still performing at top levels, and the lower achieving students are scoring better than ever on standardized tests, according to the school district's data.
The difference between the two is called the achievement gap, and it's shrinking in Eagle County.
"I've enjoyed every job I've had," she said.
That's not to say she hasn't had bad days, and wondered if her father the engineer had the right idea, but she has never regretted that choice, she said.
"I don't know if it's a calling or a passion. I was one of those kids who always knew wanted to do, even in high school," Smyser said.
She grew up in Maryland, outside Washington, D.C.
She attended high school before special education was the law of the land, and signed up to help the special education kids. When she a kid was making pocket change as a babysitter, she'd seek out families with special needs kids.
When she finished her class work, and she was usually first, the teacher would ask her to help some of the kids who were struggling.
She left Maryland for Indiana State University because it was one of the only special education programs at that time. She finished at the University of Maryland, earned her Masters in Spanish and education at University of South Carolina, and her Ph.D. in special education from the University of California Riverside.
"Even as I've gone from one job to the next, I've always enjoyed teaching," she said.
Sometimes she misses the classroom, but she loves her job, she said.
Smyser is back in another crowd. This time it's a teacher tugging at her elbow, telling her how much he loves working and living here, and that he feels he's a better teacher working in Eagle County schools.
"That makes me happy, too," Smyser said.

8 Beauty Products to Buy in October
In recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we rounded up some terrific (and very pink!) new beauty products that support the cause
And let's not even get into the individual days that are dedicated to some cause or another: Public Sleeping Day (February 28) and Talk Like A Pirate Day (September 19) are two of the most random that come to mind.
With all the silly holidays out there, it's hard to know which ones should be taken seriously and which to support with your time or hard-earned cash. One that's a no-brainer is October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCA) -- a cause and initiative that we should all buy into (literally).
Skip ahead to see the best beauty products for October 2012.
Here's why: One in eight U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer in her lifetime (that's roughly 12 percent of women). And last year, thanks to research and advances made through various funding efforts, there were more than 2.6 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.
These scary numbers are just part of the reason why so many of the beauty products hitting shelves in October are tied to BCA. And, it's about a lot more than pink labels or packaging -- each one directly supports breast cancer charities. So when you buy Coach's newest lip gloss set or Avon's pink nail polish, you're also supporting an incredibly worthwhile cause. Keep reading to see our BCA beauty products guide and feel good knowing that your splurge is justified.

I know my comment is late, but it is so nice to see the support from companies and from other ladies. My mom is fighting this awful disease and we are so grateful for all the support and feeling pretty while supporting the cause is great too.
