The Meyerson Symphony Center was full of recognizable faces, and movers and shakers Monday morning. None drew more whispers and stares than Roger Staubach, who was there as a proud father rather than sports legend or business executive.
"We didn't know it was going to be this big of an event," he said about the Dallas City Council inaugural.
He said he and his wife had never attended an inaugural but were there now to see their daughter, Jennifer Staubach Gates, sworn in as the new District 13 representative.
Staubach said when he asked his daughter about her decision to run, she explained that she wanted to give back to her home.
"I didn't think I'd ever say that after losing to Texas in the Cotton Bowl [in 1964]", said the hypercompetitive former Dallas Cowboys star.
Staubach described his daughter as having a strong independent voice but said he realized he cast a shadow over part of the election.
"She told me, 'I'm Jennifer Gates, dad, so don't feel like you have to worry about it,'" Staubach said about the election. "When the signs went up, it was Jennifer Staubach Gates. Jennifer is an independent, but she's proud to be a Staubach and a Gates."

|Ways to avoid aches in feet from neuroma
Aching feet are a real pain, but they're far too often a reality for seniors; therefore, practicing proper older adult foot care is essential. One foot problem with which many people are unfamiliar but which is fairly common is called neuroma.
What is neuroma?
As the "neuro" part of the name suggests, neuroma involves a nerve issue. Simply put, a neuroma is an irritated, swollen nerve, commonly called a pinched nerve or less commonly, a nerve tumor. The condition may begin merely as a small inflammation, but if left untreated it may grow to become a major pain. Neuromas most often develop on the underside of the foot, usually in the ball and frequently between the third and fourth toes.
For some unknown reason, neuromas of the foot are much more common among women than among men.
What causes neuromas?
Science hasn't pinpointed the exact cause of foot neuromas yet, but it has identified a few factors that often are associated with them. These include:
• Atypical foot formations: People with high arches or flat feet are more prone to neuromas than those with traditional foot structures.
• Trauma: Abnormal pressure or the foot coming suddenly and unexpectedly into contact with a hard object can produce a nerve issue.
• Bad choice of shoes: Shoes that are too tight, especially in the toe area, or have heels higher than two inches create pressure on the nerves and can lead to this condition.
How to prevent neuroma?
The best way of preventing neuroma is to wear appropriate shoes – nothing too tight, nothing with a heel over two inches. In addition, shoe heels should have adequate padding for proper support.
What about treatment?
A slight neuroma may respond to simple personal ministrations, including:
• Taking weight off the foot and giving it a nice massage.
• Applying an ice pack or other source of cold.
• Using shoe pads to help cushion and support the neuromatic area.
Even neuromas that respond to self-treatment should be reported to and seen by a podiatrist. For severe cases, anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed; custom shoe inserts are also a popular option, especially if neuromas recur. In some extreme cases, surgery may be necessary. Adequate older adult foot care can help prevent the occurrence of neuromas, but if they do appear, it's important to seek proper treatment.

The No-Spill Bubble Whistle has been redesigned this year. This working whistle comes with a neck cord, so that kids can wear it, and lets kids blow continuous bubbles without having to dip a bubble wand into solution. Unscrew the cap on the side of the whistle and fill the chamber with bubbles. Then screw the cap back on and blow. The Bubble Whistle makes a whistling noise as bubbles come out. It comes with two ounces of Blastos! Bubbles solution. The neck cord features a breakaway design to comply with safety standards.
This is a fun and easy way for young kids to engage in bubble play. They'll love that the whistle actually makes a whistling noise and chasing after all the bubbles they've blown.
The No-Spill Bubble Whistle is for ages 3 and up. Young kids will need adults to unscrew the cap on the whistle and fill it with bubble solution.
The No-Spill Bubble Whistles are also available in Jelly Belly, Chuggington, and Dora the Explorer themes. Each is sold separately.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - Go! magazine asked its weekly brew review readers two weeks ago via al.com to submit their personal reviews of their beer of choice to coincide with Huntsville Beer Week festivities.
With much appreciation, the brew review thanks those who submitted their reviews and participated in our one-time change up.
Take a look below to see what some readers had to say about a variety of national and international brews.
The Brew: Yuengling Lager
Reviewer: Jason Claunch, 29, steel inspector
Appearance: Light amber in color with little head.
Smell: Mildly bitter but faintly sweet, like an old growth forest.
Taste: Placidly sweet throughout with a bitter farewell. Hops work and play well with others in this beer; you know they are here, they just aren't Chuck Norris-ing you.
Mouth-feel: Well balanced. Heavy for an American Lager, but far lighter than the snobby beer down the table.
Overall: Eclectic; a great beer for any occasion, for real this time. In the summer it's good ice cold; it's truly great between 36-42 degrees. At this temperature the milder qualities of the beer bloom out. Perfectly weighted, this is a beer, not canned water or a bottled wheat shake. Classic, America's oldest beer -- 1829 -- has survived and thrived the last 182 years for a reason: it's damn good at a damn good price.
The Brew: Magic Hat Brewing's Hi.P.A
Reviewer: Brian Allen, 45, engineer
Appearance: The appearance is nice with a little bit of haziness and a light golden amber color. The color is between 8 and 11 on the Standard Reference Method scale (SRM).
Smell: The hops presents nicely in the aroma with some malts in the background.
Taste: The flavor is very untypical for an IPA. There is lime taste in the finish, which is not too strong. I wouldn't say that it is a full flavor IPA.
Mouth-feel: It has an alkaline quality that coats the whole mouth.
Overall: The beer overall is enjoyable, but I wouldn't want a six pack of it. The ABV is not too high at 6.7 percent, which will let you enjoy a number of them before the ABV becomes a problem.
The Brew: Innis and Gunn
Reviewer: Ivan Gant, 27, cook
Appearance: Golden brown.
Smell: Sweet and nutty.
Taste: Woody.
Mouth-feel: Smooth with a kick.
Overall: A pleasure for the mouth.
The Brew: Saranac Imperial IPA
Reviewer: Sean Scott, 43, accounts receivable
Appearance: Nut-brown with medium white head. Nice Brussels lace all the way to the bottom.
Smell: Intense hops with background of spice and alcohol.
Taste: The five varieties of hops used are definitely in the forefront as they should be for this style. The five varieties of malts, which attribute to the darker-than-average color come to the party later but balance it out very nicely.
Mouth-feel: Again, HOPS. So prevalent that you can actually feel the oiliness of the hop resins.
Overall: Fantastic if you are a card-carrying member of the hopheads (and how could you not be). If you are not, stay away and leave more for the rest of us. At 8.5-percent ABV it is my all-around favorite since the Northeast Alabama high gravity law went into effect. 8 out of 10 on my scale.
The Brew: Sierra Nevada Southern Hemisphere Harvest Fresh Hop Ale
Reviewer: Todd Howard, 32, attorney
Appearance: Orange Amber/coppery in color, clear, about one finger of head from my pour with a good amount of lacing around the glass. I used a chilled pilsner style glass. I evaluated this beer after it sat for a day in my fridge from the tap.
Smell: Fresh hops, a bit floral, but not overwhelmingly so. On a second take, perhaps tropical.
Taste: A bit resinous, with some cedar notes. There are some citrus flavors and less malt. There is also a good bit of fruit of the tropical variety as the carbonation lowers
Mouth-feel: Not overly dry or syrupy, fairly well balanced with a decent hop punch of aftertaste. To me this beer is very accessible and quite clean.
Overall: This is an excellent beer. If you like some IPAs, but not the extremes, you will like this beer. Also, if you like a simple hoppy pale ale and are starting to enjoy hops more, this is a great beer for you. It is very drinkable.
The Brew: Witkap Pater Dubbel
Reviewer: Jay Kissell
Appearance: Dark golden brown with one finger off-white head that slowly dissipated. Excellent lacing -- the glass is coated with a fine layer of foam.
Smell: Bready malt, with a hint of sourness.
Taste: Sweet malt, toffee, raisins, yeast. I can also taste a slight hop bitterness. None of the sourness of the nose is present in the taste.
Mouth-feel: Moderate carbonation, creamy but dry.
Overall: An excellent Belgian dubbel, which is also very consistent with the BJCP style guidelines. Best enjoyed at 50 degrees.
The Brew: Yellowhammer Tobacco Road
Reviewer: Dan Roberts, 30, software developer
Appearance: Bright copper color with an off-white frothy top that sticks around.
Smell: Sweet with pine hops.
Taste: Slightly astringent. Noticeable alcohol warming. Heavy and sticky malts dominate with vanilla notes. Finishes with resiny bitter for balance, but mostly sweet and sticky.
Mouth-feel: Oily resins stick to the palate. Almost anything will taste like water and crackers after this.
Overall: Designed to be paired with a cigar, this is a big, complex beer from one of the South's best up-and-coming breweries. This was a one-off that hasn't been seen since earlier this year and I hope they bring it back.
For more information about the brew reviews, such as participation and suggestion, email email@example.com or call 256-532-4408.

I am new to this and really dont understand how to bridge my amp for supwoofers. I have a crossover with sub out going to input 1 on the amp. I have the switch in bridge mode. I have a nuetrix output to my sub but have no audio. Am I doing something wrong? It says to connect the speakers across the postive output terminals, do not use the negative terminals. How do I do that with a cable? Please help. Thanks!

Not easy to do with speakon connectors. First, you need an NL4 cable. Then you have to physcially open up the connector body on the amp side of the cable and re-wire it such that the speaker is hooked to the 1+ and 2+ pins. Might require soldering. Use the channel 1 speakon output only. There are some decent illustrations of this on pages 12-13 of the old XTi manual: http://www.crownaudio.com/pdf/amps/139548.pdf
If the amp has binding post outputs, you can just connect the speaker to the two red posts instead. Quite a bit easier.

Hello, G'day, guten Tag, goede dag, bonjour, buenos dias,
I hope we have just talked (phone, cw or PSK). That's what makes our hobby so enjoyable, communicating with each other across the aether.
I have been continously licensed since grade school in 1954, thanks to my buddy and classmate, Bob, W8TGE. Over the years I have enjoyed CW, HF AM, 6M AM, 2M FM, HF SSB, CW rag chewing, PSK-31, EmComm and DXing.
I was originally licensed as WN8TCW, then W8TCW, in Independence, OH. I enlisted in the US Navy, became a CT in Pensacola, FL (at WA4ECY- the Club Station of USNAAS Corry Field) and was then stationed at USNSGA in Bremerhaven, Germany as DL5ES (and DL5BR, the Club Station). When I returned to the States it was to Pittsburgh, PA, where I received the calls W3EXQ and finally N3DV in 1976. I moved to New Jersey in 1980, thankfully keeping my purposely chosen rhythmic (CW) "Darth Vader" call.
In Nov. 1998 Mike, WA2VUN, erected a 20 M tower in my side yard with a Force 12, 5BA Nomad, and the big, circularly polarized M2s for 2 M and 70 cm on top. I have finally gotten serious about VHF/UHF Satellite work (I had a lot of fun with RS-12/13 in the '90s), chasing DX (I went from 40 countries confirmed in '98 to 328 [DX-Honor Roll {Mixed}] in Dec. '06 and up to 331 in Oct. '08) and multi-band DX-CCs and WAZs in the past 10 years and emergency communication.
I am very interested in using the fantastic potential of the Amateur Radio Service for Emergency Communication. To that end I am the Bedminster, NJ EOC radio Officer and a member of the SHARES Network, sponsored by NCS. Also, up to March of 2010, I was heavily involved in various SATERN activities, offices and Net Control duties.
I am married to a lovely and understanding (as we all must have), woman. We have two great boys, the younger son living in San Francisco, CA with his wife and our 2nd grandson, just about to enter his 'terrible Twos' and with a sibling about to be born, and the older son, who has moved back to the East Coast with his wife from Palo Alto, CA to be closer to his son and daughter, our 1st grandson, who is a major sports buff, avid 'jock' at 15 and 3rd former at Kent School, and a beautiful 9 year old granddaughter, born on Boxing Day 2000 in Paris.
If we haven't just talked, I hope to hear you out there. When we do talk, ask me about Samoyeds. We raise them. There's probably one curled around my feet (I don't have a linear to keep my feet warm, hi, hi).
By the way, in spite of no to very few sunspots, there is still propagation, and DX, to be worked out there. Keep listening and follow the grey line.
Have a great day, and long-live CW.

This fall, "TAKE OFF! with The Savvy Stews" lands in daytime on Destination America.
"TAKE OFF!" encourages viewers to travel like a pro by inspiring the novice traveler as well as the jet-setter to try an alternate route.
Stow your carry-on bags and fasten your seatbelts because it's time to fly! Flight attendants Gailen David and Bobby Laurie are landing on televisions across America with a new travel series that inspires travelers to make the most of their trip and explore hidden gems in a destination's backyard.
Gailen David and Bobby Laurie, better known as "The Savvy Stews," had their flight paths cross in 2010 at a conference connecting travel bloggers.
"We were both blogging about the life of a flight attendant and our crazy experiences at 35,000ft, but also realized we had the same mission to inform travelers how to make their experience on the road easier, stress-free and more civilized based on our experiences… so we decided to work together," explained Bobby Laurie. "That's when we started called ourselves The Savvy Stews."
Combined, the Stews have over 40 years of hospitality and airline industry experience making them the only travel hosts on television with direct, hands on, industry skills and knowledge.
The Savvy Stews' show might be new, but the duo isn't new to television. "We started our website [SavvyStews.com] and filled it with tips and insider information that we had access to and saw an amazing response so we thought we'd take it a step further and we contacted some morning talk shows about going on their show and teaching their audience how to travel like the pros do," said Laurie. "We picked up the phone, called any news producers we could find, and pitched them idea. We did all of this ourselves," Gailen David added. The first show to give the guys a shot was "Daytime" a national lifestyle and entertainment show filmed out of Tampa, FL. The Stews still appear on the show as monthly travel contributors.
Additionally, coining the catchphrase "travel like we do," The Savvy Stews are now entering their second year appearing bi-weekly on the nationally syndicated morning show "The Daily Buzz" from destinations around the world. "After a few years we decided to take our travel segments out of the studio and on the road with us. We travel the world and send reports to The Daily Buzz with destination highlights, travel tips and special deals for their viewers. We always find so many amazing things to do and places to see throughout our travels that it's sometimes hard to convey how fascinating everything is in two minutes, but with the show, we have more time to let viewers experience the journey with us," explained David.
"TAKE OFF! with The Savvy Stews" will share the adventures David and Laurie encourage viewers to have in various cities in America and beyond, from tasting the local cuisine, to tackling the boldest activities, seeking the new thing to try, and taking the road less traveled; because they want to experience the discovery along with the viewers at home.
"TAKE OFF!" has been cleared to air this fall on Destination America and will be the only travel series releasing new episodes in daytime television. "TAKE OFF!" will air Thursdays at 8 a.m. EST / 5 a.m. PST starting October 2, 2014.
Destination America, part of Discovery Communications, the world's #1 nonfiction media company reaching more than 2 billion cumulative subscribers in 220 countries and territories, is the only network to celebrate the people, places, and stories of the United States and features travel, food, adventure, home, and natural history, with original series.
"TAKE OFF!" is produced by Savvy Omnimedia with April Carter, Gailen David and Bobby Laurie serving as executive producers.

Fuel Costs Plus U.S. Drought Equals Higher Food Prices
U.S. consumers, already paying more for food due to the worst drought in five decades, may soon see prices at the supermarket rise further because of fuel costs.
"Gasoline is the wild card" of food inflation, said Chad Hart, an economist at Iowa State University. "Anytime you have oil and gas prices moving up, that will hit us on the food dollar."
Energy and transportation accounts for about 8.2 cents of each dollar spent on food, compared with about 4 cents for farm commodities, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Processing, labor, packaging and other costs dominate the retail and restaurant prices of food, making the cost of corn less important to consumers than the price of the gas needed to transport it, according to USDA data.
U.S. consumers may pay 3 percent to 4 percent more for food next year, up from as much as 3.5 percent more this year, as the effects of drought work their way onto supermarket shelves, the Department of Agriculture said last month in its first forecast for 2013. Beef may rise as much as 5 percent in response to tight supplies of corn, which is used to feed cattle, the USDA said in its monthly report, which will be updated today.
Corn and soybean futures reached record highs this month on the Chicago Board of Trade, and wheat touched the highest price since 2008 as dry conditions worsened in the Midwest and Great Plains.
Oil Prices
Oil, meanwhile, is up 13 percent over the past year on international instability and tight supplies. The nationwide average price of regular gasoline at the pump gained 0.2 cent to $3.718 a gallon Aug. 22, AAA data showed. Gasoline has climbed 39.2 cents since July 1, according to the AAA, the nation's largest motoring organization.
Even with domestic production gains, gasoline prices in the U.S. will probably rise 5 to 10 cents a gallon by the Sept. 3 Labor Day holiday before falling in the fourth quarter, Adam Sieminski, head of the U.S. Energy Information Administration, said in an interview Aug. 22.
Much of the damage to U.S. crops caused by dryness has already taken place, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in an interview Aug. 16. Vilsack said he thought food inflation next year will probably be in the range of last month's forecast while saying that oil could change that.
"If oil prices keep going up as they have recently, that could have a greater impact on food costs than what's associated with what's going on with the drought," he said.
Food Inflation
Food costs have risen 1 percent so far this year, the government said earlier this month. Retail-food costs rose 3.7 percent in 2011, according to the USDA. Higher energy prices can also deter food inflation, said Bill Lapp, president of Advanced Economic Solutions in Omaha, Nebraska, by making it harder for companies to pass on costs to financially strapped consumers.
Higher commodity prices affect everything from meat purchased by McDonald's Corp. to the grain bought by General Mills Inc. to the sweeteners used by Coca-Cola Co. The U.S. drought may have a bigger impact on people in poorer countries that import food than on Americans themselves, said Johanna Nesseth Tuttle, director for food security at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
"Poor and middle-income countries rely on the stability the U.S. harvests bring to global food prices, so they suffer more when our production drops," she said in an e-mail. World nutrition costs rose 6.2 percent last month, the biggest spike since November 2009, the United Nations said earlier this month.

Missouri Department of Insurance reaches settlement with Aflac
Investigation leads to $700,000 fine paid by seller of supplemental insurance plans
Jefferson City, Mo. - State regulators have reached a settlement with one of the nation's most high-profile insurance companies. Under the agreement, American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus - best known as Aflac - has paid a $700,000 fine, which goes to the State School Fund.
Insurance departments in Missouri, Minnesota and Idaho launched an extensive market conduct examination of numerous Aflac business practices. Areas of review included:
- Suitability and overselling;
- Sales of duplicate coverage;
- Sales that are a replacement of existing coverage;
- Policies containing waiting periods;
- Advertising created by agents; and
- Incentives, contests, prizes and awards given to agents selling Aflac policies.
In addition to Missouri's fine, Aflac pays $700,000 in fines to Minnesota and $200,000 to Idaho. Aflac will also submit a plan to correct certain business practices. Its compliance with the plan will be closely monitored by regulators in all three states for three years.
Besides the market conduct exam, the Missouri Department of Insurance recently assessed fines against three Aflac insurance agents for violations of state law, including falsifying information on consumers' insurance applications and creating bogus policies. Including these three, all insurance agents disciplined by the department in 2012 have paid more than $26,000 in fines.
Missouri Insurance Director John M. Huff says Aflac specializes in supplemental insurance policies, which can cover short-term or long-term disabilities, certain diseases, accidental injuries and other risks. Huff says this type of insurance can sometimes be misunderstood by consumers.
"Supplemental policies should never be seen as a substitute for comprehensive insurance, such as a major medical health plan," Huff said. "As with any type of insurance, we encourage Missouri consumers to be fully informed about these products, so they can determine whether they meet their needs."
In market conduct exams and investigations, the department reviews insurance company practices regarding the treatment of policyholders. This includes the way premium rates are charged, the way insurers handle claims and other responsibilities under state law. These reviews can result in refunds for consumers, fines and corrections in business practices, as well as other remedies.
Since the beginning of 2009, market conduct enforcement actions have generated $8.7 million in payments from insurance companies. The money goes toward refunds for consumers, general revenue and the Missouri State School Fund.
Consumers with questions or complaints about supplemental insurance or any other type can call the Insurance Consumer Hotline at 800-726-7390 or visit insurance.mo.gov.

I'm a 24 year old female and usually get my sneakers from the kids section, I'm a size 7 in normal shoes and 4 in sneakers. I got these in 4, but wanted to change into a 4.5. As it turns out I received them today, tried them on and I love them!! The size 4 fit me perfectly, I'm sure even if I got a 3.5 they would fit also! Great shoes though. I got them in the white originals. ... read more
I was super excited to get these shoes and couldn't find them anywhere in stores so I ordered them online. I ordered them on Wednesday and got them on Saturday which was sooner than expected :)) I was super excited to first try them on and when I did the inside of the shoe got bunched up. It's not properly glued down? I'm assuming it's removable maybe but I had to take it off all the way and fix it. It's not that big of a deal but surprising because I expected better quality for such expensive shoes. Other than that it's super cute and easy to pair with every outfit. Not the comfiest shoes in the work cause they are quiet heavy and stiff, you get used to it, but they are very very cute. ... read more
I bought this for my sis as a birthday gift. She wears size 6 for women (her normal size), I ordered (personalized )size 4 big kids size. It was 1/2 size bigger for her, the 3.5 would have been perfect for her feet but other than there is nothing I can complain about. It was so beautiful with her name on it. This the the 3rd pair of superstars I bought in the past 3 months. The previous 2 pairs were for my daughter and son both shoes fit them perfectly. ... read more
Love these classics. Was so happy to see them in pink and find out they are allowed as part of my daughter's school uniform. They fit true to size and are super comfortable. Also they run much cheaper directly from Adidas - I/ve seen them for $10 more on other sites. ... read more
Great show but sizing is so wierd for women. I'm a size 7.5 in women's and a size 5 in kids. The 5 is a little narrow in the front but loose from the back my foot keeps coming out in the size 6. So I stuck with the 5 and gave up. ... read more
I looked in stores and several websites before I found the Stan Smith in blue not navy. I have small feet so can wear children's sizes and these fit perfect and are very comfortable. They have a very audible squeak with each step but hopefully that will disappear with time. I'm very happy I purchased these. ... read more
I recently bought the superstar women's shoes in a size 5, that being the smallest size available. When the shoes arrived they were huge on me. I decided to buy the same shoes in kids size 3.5 and they are also too big. Now seems like a size 3 in kids is unavailable so I cannot purchase the shoes I want because a size that would fit me does not seem to exist. Very disappointing. There need to be more smaller sizes available for purchase! ... read more
I'm usually a 7 in women's and got a 5 in kids but I don't have a wide foot, so when I walk then shoe slides down a tad. Other than that I would say it's a correct fit, a half size smaller would be too small. ... read more
I ordered them Tuesday night & got them Friday morning so delivery was super fast & efficient. They're a little big for me. I'm normally a size 6 but I ordered 5.5. I think a size 5 would've fit me better but I like the shoes anyway. They're very comfortable and extremely good quality. I am very impressed & I'd love to purchase another color. ... read more
I bought these shoes finally after trying months to get them i never seem to find them so my parents went on a trip so i order them online i order 1/2 size smaller than the usual i was super excited but when i tried them they are too big and I'm so bummed because I can't exchange them I'm not in usa where they bought them i don't know what to do i tried with socks and insoles and nothing ... read more
I purchased the adult women's Superstars in the black stripe with gold logo and I'm in LOVE with these shoes!! I read most of the reviews about sizing and normally wear a size 7. I ordered the adult women's size six and they are perfect. Extremely comfortable and chic! I now want the Superstars with pink stripes however, the stripes look red, so I am trying to confirm if these are truly pink? Is it just the lighting making them look red? Just want to confirm before I order them. I am hoping they are a deep fuchsia pink. Would greatly appreciate confirmation from Adidas. #lovinsuperstars #iconicadidas #SumiSwagAdidas ... read more
Love!!! Super classic, came within a week. They go with anything- a dress, jeans, etc and are comfortable. Order 1/2 size down. I also have the superstars and they are a little too roomy so I ordered 1/2 size down for these and they were perfect. ... read more
Best classics of all time! These are much more comfortable than I expected and I wear them on long walks throughout the city, which leaves me to realize that I don't feel any discomfort from walking in these all day. They are also super stylish and I like to wear them with my core training pants or jeggings. Only thing to keep in mind is that these do run half a size larger so be sure to size down! ... read more
I wear a 7 and bought a 6, they fit perfectly snug if you have to wear thick socks than half a size smaller would be better for you. If you have wide feet these might not be the shoes for you. I really wish they have a gray pair I would buy those too. ... read more
These are super cute and the fit was almost perfect. I haven't worn them very long or outside yet so I cannot truly say about long term comfort as the day goes on. They are pretty true to size. I bought my regular size ( 6 1/2 womens ) in the 4.5 Kids size based on a previous review about sizing and that review was right on and quite helpful. ... read more
First of all I read many reviews about this Stan Smith, they're useful and I'm appreciated by your help….thank you very much I saw many people got a problem with size….I've ever been in trouble with it, too…… I normally wore a 7 US women shoes but you're size shown on website's not identified that US or UK size (coz' you have many kinds of size measurement in the size chart (picture 1 attached file), but just shown the number 6, 7, 8…etc. on website) It's make me confuse and get in trouble…heyy!!! No.7 that shown is US or UK size (picture 2 attached file) ….it's very huge if I made the wrong order……I sent my question to the adidas support but it's not response….how bad it's… You're should show more clearly size, such as No. 7US or 7UK or 24cm…..etc. choose the one please….in my opinion Centimeter size is the best and clearly for all. You're customer can measure their feet and find the correct size with "cm." measurement I love Stan Smith, but it doesn't have the pink color in women's size. Then my friend suggested me to look up and bought kid's shoes for me as a birthday gift. I read many comments that helpful for me (thank you again). So that, finally,….I ordered No. 5.5 from website ( I guessed that it's 5.5US)….because 5.5 US Kids size equal to 24 cm. and as same as for 7US women in the size chart…..everyone can choose your size and measure your feet to Centimeters, then compare to the Kids size, too I've quite wide feet……It's roomy but fits well when I wear the socks and tie the rope tightly….if you've narrow, you should order 5US 's better Love my pink Stan Smith so much….. Classic, Beautiful and Comfortable but you should make more clear size and identify with Centimeters' very well. ... read more
I was so excited to wear my new Stan Smith's! I tried them in the store and they fit perfectly. I took them back to my hotel and planned my outfit for the next day. I know you should never break in new shoes on a day when you have a lot of walking to do but they fit so well I thought I would be fine. After a couple of hours my feet were in pain! I think I need a bigger size. I am so upset because I obviously can't return them and I was so looking forward to my new kicks. I would suggest making sure you have the right size before making a final decision. They really are so cute! ... read more
The cheapest materials ever used in children's shoes. Almost plastic and tore up my kids feet. I am extremely disappointed in the choice of cheap materials and cost cutting techniques used by adidas as of recent. ... read more
I honestly went though a lot to get these sneakers! They were sold out everywhere and they had them here. At fist I got a 4 and it was too big my foot would come out. I sent them back and got a 3.5 and it fit perfectly fine. I recommend to go a 1/2 down then yor actual size because thy run a bit big!! Anyway, they a comfortable n every way, that I ended up ordering the white ones in 3.5 too!!! ... read more
They run a little big ...I usually wear a womens size 6.5 and got the boys size 4 and they fit perfect. Love love love them...they are super cute and very comfortable. I get a lot of compliments when I wear them. ... read more
These shoes do run big so make sure you do your research before purchasing. I tried them on in store before purchasing them online. I am a true size 8 in women's shoes and purchased these in grade school size 5.5. They fit snugly but comfortably. Honestly they're one of the best purchases i've ever made. They go with every outfit and they're so comfortable. I love them so much, thank you! ... read more
I love the style of the shoes and what they can bring to your outfit, but they kind of hurt a little. I'm trying to figure out how to make the laces not so tight. Or maybe they have to stretch out a little more. I'm not sure. ... read more
Love the shoes my son has been wearing adidas since he started walking. His 5 years old. That's the only shoe that he likes. Why? Cause dad wears them as well. The only small problem I have with them is that the velcro starts ripping fairly quickly I have this problem all the time with the velcro. Needs to be reenforced. But still with that recommend shoes. ... read more
This is my 2nd time to bought Adidas, fist time I bought superstar that size 6 but size big to me, second time I bought Stan smith that size 5.5 but still really big than 1st time, so I really confuse the size, is it the size online for men or woman? Please write the size clearly don't make Custmor confuse! ... read more

Canon SELPHY
Canon is a name most photographers know. Heck, it's a name that most people know because the company has been an industry leader in photography, not to mention digital imaging, for decades. Canon is a leader because of its specially designed products, from cameras to printers. The recently launched SELPHY line of portable photo printers is an example of the company's innovation and forward thinking.
These are printers that are meant to be carried around. They are for the mobile professional that has to print photos on the spot. The SELPHY line was made for people with lifestyles or jobs that require a super quick photo printing system, but as with any printer, even SELPHY models need high quality ink. 4inkjets.com is here to help. High on the lists of many busy professionals as the best place to purchase ink, replacement ink cartridges, and toner for a variety of printing products, 4inkjets.com has made its reputation built on a foundation of excellence.
The SELPHY models are wildly popular portable printers for people who need to print quality photos immediately. What makes some of these photo printers unique is their voice guidance system, which uses an audio command technology often found in GPSs or cell phones. You can tell the printer what to do with your voice, which is something that no other printer on the market - photo or otherwise - offers. And you can see and navigate your verbal commands as they are displayed on a 3.5-inch LCD screen with a scrollable menu.
Many of these printers use a state-of-the-art dye-sublimation thermal transfer system to print; they offer high resolution of 300 X 600 dpi. The most color depth that you can get from this SELPHY printer is 24 bit. These printers are very competitively priced. We at 4inkjets.com offer replacement ink cartridges at affordable prices. We are an award-winning company whose mission it is to provide the best products and best service to its customers.
The print speed is also incredible. It takes 55 seconds to print a postcard-sized photo. A credit card-sized print only takes 33 seconds. That's not too shabby considering the compact size of the printer and the mobility that it offers.
The Canon SELPHY printers have been incredibly popular because they are designed for the mobile photographer that needs a portable photo printing solution with plenty of options. Reviewers have been impressed with its compact size, borders, and its options for novelty printing. Consumers also love this printer line for all the same reasons and for its low maintenance costs. The four-step printer cartridge system is great because you only need to buy ink when a cartridge is completely empty unlike other printers with multi-color ink cartridges. With multi-color cartridges, you may still have plenty of cyan or magenta left but your pictures come out with distorted colors because the color balance is off.
4inkjets.com offers top of the line alternative cartridges at amazing low prices so you can keep your Selphy printers running smoothly. Our products are backed by a Two Year 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

Automotive Digital Marketing ProCom
Professional Community for Car Dealers, Automotive Marketers and Sales Managers
Dealer.com customers-do you use DDC's SEO program or an outside specialist?
We are in the midst of looking at improving our SEO content on our Dealer.com sites, so we had a phone conference today with them. Before I start, we are not against using DDC to strengthen our SEO-however, if we don't use them it seems we will not have the ability to:
1.Edit URLs
2. Alter the H1, H2,3 tags
3. Edit meta titles (they might give us permission)
4. Submit to Google-they only do this once-at the original set-up of the page. Strange considering we have new inventory daily.
All of this is extremely important in order to have a strong SEO campaign, but if we don't pay, we don't have access to this.
Has anyone out there found a way to get DDC to agree to open up these area's without the monthly charge and set-up fees?
Views: 624
The company who built your website and has direct access to your website is and always will be the best / most cost-effective way to get your website optimized....with the condition that they have an in-house SEO program or specialist.
We do SEO for a number of dealers that have dealer.com sites (we optimize their's for free to add to our service value) so we have to have it down well. Brian makes a good point, while onsite you are very limited to what you can do (but aren't most manufacturer mandated sites) you can do the meat of your internal pages. Create create create that's our theme song, we build pages on everything from weekend sales to employee personality pages. A video of an employee can go along way to help with SEO. I would also suggest landing pages, drive that traffic to where YOU want them and not where they stumble onto.
I hope this helps some,
We actually use a combination of both. We have DDC's marketing package and use an outside company to help with outside link building. A little extra $$ but the increase in daily unique visits and conversion has more then justified this.
I have never had a problem editing meta data on our DDC retail site. I can alter H tags in any editable areas. As far as URL's are concerned I can build a custom URL when I make a new page but once the page is published to change it I think you would have to build a new page and supplant the other page in navigation. Matt can correct me here if I got any of this wrong.
If you purchase a basic or advanced website with VinSolutions, it includes SEO. Our SEO specialists (I'm the manager of the SEO and Social Media department) will create custom meta tags as well as submit your site and sitemaps to the top search engines. In Motosnap, our customers with admin logins have the ability to edit their own meta tags and custom content. The only thing that VinSolutions customers can't do is edit all URLs. You can change the page title of custom content pages though.
An SEO website also includes occasional guidance and updates from our support staff and our SEO staff as needed. We are always willing to talk SEO strategy with our customers. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at kelsey.jones @ vinsolutions.com (remove the spaces).
Hi Angela,
I have some good news - You now have the ability to edit per page meta data. For training on how to use the feature please contact your AM.
It is true that if you hire another SEO firm that they will not have access to all of the same tools that the Dealer.com team does. That is one of the advantages of working with your website provider on these types of things. That being said, any new page created in the Composer can have it's own distinct and searchable URL, strong title and meta tags... PageBuilder was designed to aid in the expansion of the sitemap while adhering to SEO best practices.
If you would like to discuss our SEO program more, feel free to reach out to me. All in all, it's great that you are going to invest in this strategy, regardless of who you partner with to get it done!
To be fair, the basic Dealer.com SEO package is less than our Digital Marketing Package. That said, I have not heard that Dealer.com would NOT let you edit the META titles and descriptions, if you asked for permission to do so. I know that most vendors want to protect their customers from making edits that will hurt their sites. I'm note sure why, if you were educated, why they would prevent you from editing your static pages.
The tasks that you outline here are called on-site SEO and represent the very basics of Automotive SEO. Google will search and index all pages on a Dealer.com website so "submitting" is not needed.
Dealer.com is very capable of creating effective Page Titles, META Descriptions, and Sub-Title Tags. Once this is done, it's done. Meaning, that as long as new pages you create follow good SEO practices, on-site SEO is a short term cleanup.
The thing that moves the needle most is off-site SEO links pointing to these optimized Dealer.com website pages. Relevant content is not new and as more dealers wake up to SEO best practices, link building is the next logical step.
So the bigger question is what is your strategy to use off-site content that links back to your optimized pages to give them more relevance to your local competition and national lead collection sites.

Five Great Apps to Help Conquer July 4th
By admin | June 29, 2011
Fourth of July is not just about patriotism – it's also about celebrating the summer with fireworks, parades, and, of course, cooking outdoors. But even though Fourth of July meals are usually laid-back, planning a holiday get together can still be stressful! Here are the Five Best Apps for planning your July 4th celebration this year.
1. Green Grocer ($4.99)
Your first stop for any food-centric party is the grocery store. Green Grocer allows you to create location-based grocery lists that actually tell you when you're near the item you need at the store. You can also email lists to others, so you can enlist party-planning help from friends and family and send them to pick up last-minute items. One more great feature is shake-to-sort, which moves already checked-off items to the bottom of the list and brings the items you have left to buy to the top – this is particularly suited to holiday shopping when grocery lists can get extensive.
2. Grill-It! ($.99)
From pork ribs to steak to lobster tails, the Grill-It! app provides easy-to-follow recipes and pictures for grilling. Recipes are organized by protein, but there are also categories for vegetables and sides. If this is your first time hosting a Fourth of July gathering, this is an especially good grilling app; it's very beginner-friendly. The app also automatically adds a new recipe each week – no need to manually update.
3. SparkRecipes (free)
Sometimes it can be really tough to stick to a healthy eating plan or a vegetarian diet when Fourth of July is often associated with hot dogs and burgers slathered in condiments. SparkRecipes provides almost 200,000 recipes that include calorie counts and key nutrients. They also list extensive recipe options in the vegetarian category, so non-carnivores don't have to feel left out – delicious chili and kebabs await you! The app even includes video content for recipes and cooking basics.
4. Rhino Gauge (free)
The fastest way to derail a cookout is to run out of propane for the grill. Rhino Gauge allows you to track your propane usage based on your grill time and burner settings for specific grill projects. It also includes an "average use" setting for your everyday summer grilling. There's also a locator function for finding shops to refill your propane tank, but be warned, this feature only works for BlueRhino brand propane.
5. Texas Monthly BBQ (free)
Don't feel like cooking? Or maybe rain is ruining your outdoor holiday plans. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy amazing barbecue on Fourth of July! Use Texas Monthly's new app to find the best barbecue joint near you (it's location-based). Entries for each restaurant provide address and contact info and also feature a "buzz" section with comments and tips from Foursquare members and fellow Texas Monthly users. This way, you can stock up on delicious grill-fresh food and sides in the case of a rainout.

The revamped "Wake-Up!" morning show debuts today on WIVB-TV Channel 4 featuring new co-anchor Jordan Williams and Diana Fairbanks, who logged her first morning shift Monday.
Williams, who worked for four years at KRGV in Rio Grande Valley, Texas, was introduced on Tuesday morning's edition of "Winging It."
"Diana and Jordan are two of the most natural journalists I've seen," said Joseph D. Schlaerth, news director. "They know what is important to our viewers, and what folks want and need to know in the morning."
Fairbanks and Williams, station executives believe, will give WGRZ-TV's "Daybreak" with Melissa Holmes competition in the morning ratings race.
According to the November Nielsen ratings book, the battle for morning TV viewers between the ages of 25 and 54 is a squeaker for the first hour, between 5 and 6 a.m. Currently, WGRZ-TV Channel 2 is winning with a 2.2 rating compared with 2.1 for Channel 4.
The second hour, 6 to 7 a.m., gives Channel 2 a more pronounced lead with a 4.9 rating against 2.9 for Channel 4.
Meanwhile, Fairbanks appears to be learning a morning wake-up drill off the air, too.
"Technically my day starts at 4, so I've been trying to get up no later than 3," said Fairbanks during a phone interview from the Channel 4 newsroom. "I woke up at what I swear was the middle of the night, and it was 10."
Until recently, Fairbanks was on the air at that time anchoring the 10 p.m. newscast on WNLO-TV, Channel 23, Channel 4's sister station.
By shifting Fairbanks to morning anchor, Channel 4 executives have finally filled the vacancy created by Victoria Hong, who left in June 2012 to work for Delaware North Cos.
"Morning show viewers are very loyal, and they like to have their routine in the morning," said Fairbanks.
"They like to get up, get their coffee and turn on the TV. I think more and more people are getting a jump-start on their day, " Fairbanks said.
Don Postles is now anchoring the 10 p.m. news, with Jacquie Walker picking up Fairbanks' former slot at 5:30 p.m.
Fairbanks, meanwhile, is also now the station's noon anchor.
"One of the things I am excited about is the 'Winging It' show that starts at 8," said Fairbanks. "I love news, don't get me wrong, but the cooking and lifestyle segments are something I like, too.
"I want to be welcoming, informative and warm," she added. "I want to be part of the community in that way, because people here care about where we live."
Fairbanks started at Channel 4 in January 2012. Before that she served as anchor/reporter for 11 years at WPBN/WTOM in Traverse City, Mich.
Fairbanks' husband, Brian, who had worked in public relations in Michigan, now works in public relations with Rural Metro/WNY.
In other news at Channel 4, senior news producer Vic Baker has left the station to take a new position with a cable news channel in Florida, station personnel confirmed.
Baker, born in Hornell, worked in the news broadcasting industry for more than 40 years. He also did a reporting stint for the Elmira Star Gazette.
Baker was a co-founder of Habitat for Humanity in Lockport, according to the Buffalo Broadcasters Association. In 2011, he was inducted into the Buffalo Broadcasting Hall of Fame.

The National Hockey League is something of a mess right now.
Last season, we saw the demise of the Atlanta Thrashers at the hands of a dwindling fan base and the inability to support a Northeastern sport. Losing a team is tough, however, I have no doubt the team is much happier in its new home in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Winnipeg was without a team for far too long, seeing as the original Winnipeg Jets became the Phoenix Coyotes in 1996, a franchise that is also failing.
Despite the slew of excited Canadians, the return of the Jets has caused quite a bit of problems for the NHL. Due to the fact that the Thrashers were members of the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference, the Jets had to fill that place exactly as Atlanta had left it. That leaves us with one small problem: Winnipeg is far from the Southeast border of the NHL. They're not even within the borders of the Eastern Conference. There was a clear need for a conference realignment.
Rather than making a simple alteration and switching Winnipeg with a more centrally located team (Detroit or Chicago, perhaps), the NHL board of governors took the opportunity to essentially start from scratch. What we got was four conferences, no divisions and a headache.
One can see the appeal: Four conferences allow for more games between geographic rivals, not to mention a clearer division between each conference. This new system isn't complicated by any means; you don't have to be an NHL aficionado to understand the new layout. The final result is actually quite simple. It's all just a bit unnecessary.
Here is the current blueprint for the new conferences which are, as of yet, unnamed:
Conference No. 1: New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Washington and Carolina.
Conference No. 2: Boston, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Buffalo, Florida and Tampa Bay.
Conference No. 3: Detroit, Columbus, Nashville, St. Louis, Chicago, Minnesota, Dallas and Winnipeg.
Conference No. 4: Los Angeles, Anaheim, Phoenix, San Jose, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Colorado.
It all seems fine and dandy until you take a closer look at each conference. The new playoff system allows for the top four teams in each conference to advance past the regular season. Let's use Buffalo as an example. Consider our primary threats in the Eastern Conference at the moment: Consistent leaders like Washington and Pittsburgh are suddenly less of a problem for us. We can breathe a sigh of relief that our admittance into the playoffs isn't directly dependent on how well those and other consistently efficient teams play (well, the consistently efficient teams who are no longer in our conference).
As you may have noticed, two of the new conferences currently have eight teams, while the other two are left with seven. This is hinting at other possible changes to balance out the remaining voids in the system. There is talk of the Quebec Nordiques returning, after being relocated and renamed the Colorado Avalanche in 1995. An arena is already under construction there, though the NHL has not officially addressed these rumors yet. There is also talk of another team in Toronto, and the city could certainly support two hockey teams. I don't see any Leafs fans abandoning their beloved team any time soon. Likewise, the NHL has not officially commented on this situation.
I could sit here and argue the pros and cons of this new layout for hours; the lists for both are virtually endless. We'll just have to wait and see how things play out next season to know for sure how efficient this new system actually is.

2006-2007 Schering-Plough Scholars
Mr. Thomas Dunehew
Mentor: Dr. Peggy Fong
Funding: Schering-Plough
Title: Examining the Relationship between Nitrogen Fixation Rates and other Abiotic Factors in Estuary Sediments
Thomas Dunehew is a third year undergraduate student majoring in psychobiology. Thomas conducts his research in Peggy Fong's marine ecology lab under the guidance of graduate student Tonya Kane. Tonya's research investigates nitrogen cycling in Upper Newport Bay Estuary. Estuaries are the interface between fresh water river systems and the ocean. They are highly productive and provide a habitat for numerous species, including endangered plants and animals. In many estuary environments nitrogen tends to limit productivity, however in southern California estuaries are highly eutrophied due to runoff from urbanized watersheds. Her work specifically investigates the microbial processes of nitrogen fixation and denitrification in estuary sediments. Nitrogen fixation is the transformation of atmospheric nitrogen (N 2) into ammonium ions (NH 4 +) and can be a source of nutrients in the system, while denitrification can remove nitrogen by transforming nitrate (NO 3 -) into atmospheric nitrous oxide (N 2 O) or nitrogen (N 2 ).
Thomas is contributing to this research by measuring sediment organic content, benthic chlorophyll levels, and grain sizes of sediments taken during a field survey of the estuary. He will determine values for these abiotic factors and examine any possible correlations between these variables, as well as water nutrients, and nitrogen fixation rates.
Over the summer of 2006, Thomas conducted his research at Schering Plough Research Institute in Kenilworth, New Jersey. There, Thomas performed a quantitative analysis of microglia response levels over time in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease and its response after being dosed with a therapy shown to reduce amyloid plaque levels in the hippocampal and cortical regions of the mouse brain. Alzheimer's disease is characterized by an abnormal aggregation and accumulation of A b-40,42 peptides in the brain resulting in the formation of amyloid plaques. Microglia are the body's immune response to these plaques, and serve to remove them via phagocytosis. Thomas's results showed that microglia activation and migration to these plaques significantly increased over time after the mice started to form plaques and that microglia response levels were not notably affected as a result of reduced plaque levels in the brain.
Mr. Bryan Harada
Mentor: Dr. James Bowie

Title: Structure and Function of the SAM Domain
of Diacylglycerol Kinase δ
Bryan is a third-year biochemistry major, mathematics minor researching under the direction of Dr. James Bowie in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. For his project, Bryan is studying the structure and function of diacylglycerol kinase δ (DGKδ). DGKδ is a member of a family of kinases which convert diacylglycerol to phosphatidic acid. Since both diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid are important lipid second messengers, the DGK isozymes may play an important role in regulating the signaling pathways which involve these two molecules. DGKδ possesses a sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain, which is a conserved structural motif found in a variety of proteins. Most SAM domains mediate protein-protein interactions, and the SAM domain of DGKδ has been shown to mediate the homo-oligomerization of DGKδ. This oligomerization is thought to be involved in determining the intracellular localization of DGKδ. In order to study the role of this oligomerization, Bryan has developed a novel in vivo fusion-reporter screen to identify monomeric mutants of the SAM domain of DGKδ. Identification of these monomeric mutants will reveal which amino acid residues are critical for oligomer formation as well as provide mutant proteins for further biochemical, biophysical, and structural characterization. Ultimately, Bryan aims to map the oligomeric interface of the DGKδ and solve the structure of the SAM domain of DGKδ, so that he can use this structural information to study the function of DGKδ oligomerization in vivo. This information may give insight into the regulation of DGKδ's activity and its role in intercellular signaling. After graduating from UCLA, Bryan plans to attend graduate school and pursue a Ph.D. in biochemistry or biophysics.
Mr. Babak Hassanzedah
Mentor: Dr. Kym Faull
Funding: Schering-Plough
Title: Identification of Differential Proteomic Biomarkers in Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasm Fluids
Babak Hassanzadeh is a fifth year undergraduate majoring in Chemistry and has been conducting research at the Pasarow Mass Spectrometry Lab since fall 2005. Under the mentorship of Dr. Kym Faull and Pete Souda, he uses proteomics to study pancreatic cyst cancer. It is crucial to distinguish between the different categories of pancreatic cysts since the various types require different clinical treatments. In an attempt to develop a superior protocol for preoperatively differentiating between cysts, he uses separation technologies, mainly 2D chromatography (iso-electric focusing followed by reverse phase) and two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE), to fractionate proteins from pancreatic cyst fluid samples. These samples are provided by the Department of Endocrinology of the UCLA hospital. Proteins are then identified by LC-MS/MS using the Qstar XL mass spectrometer and the MASCOT database. Overlay of the two-dimensional maps of different classes of samples can help in identifying the proteins that are closely associated with a certain category of pancreatic cyst. The identification of distinct novel protein patterns will aid in the differentiation of pancreatic cyst neoplasms and help identify novel proteins or protein patterns which may more accurately predict pancreatic cyst pathology preoperatively. This research opportunity has given Babak the chance to experience the connection between clinical medicine in endocrinology and research in basic sciences such as chemistry.
This summer, Babak participated in a summer internship program at Schering Plough pharmaceuticals in New Jersey. His research was in medicinal chemistry, involving the chemical synthesis of a new drug that relieves nasal congestion. He would like to thank Schering Plough for their generous funding and the great summer research experience they provided him.
Mr. Omid Kohannim
Mentor: Dr. Aldons J. Lusis
Funding: Beckman Scholar
Title: Discovering Potential Candidate Genes for
Hypercholesterolemia in Mouse Models
(Left to Right) Dr. Peter Gargalovic, Omid Kohannim, Dr. Aldons J. Lusis
Omid Kohannim is a fourth-year Honors Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics major, Mathematics minor student pursuing a research project under the mentorship of Dr. Aldons J. Lusis in the Depatment of Medicine at UCLA. Omid is investigating the genetic components of hypercholesterolemia, a major risk factor of atherosclerosis, in mouse models. This positional cloning project began when a Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) was identified in mouse chromosome 15, correlating with differences in blood cholesterol between two particular strains of mice: Balb/cJ and MRL/mpJ. These two strains of mice were then bred for many generations in a selective way in order for potential candidate genes to be identified. Omid compared the nucleotide sequence and mRNA expression levels of these genes between the two strains, and found Zhx2, a known zinc-finger transcription factor, to be differentially expressed. This suggested that Zhx2 is regulating a gene that plays a role in biochemical pathways relevant to cholesterol. Currently, siRNA, microarray and transgenic experiments are being conducted to confirm this proposed function of Zhx2 both in mice and human cells. Omid plans to pursue medical practice and research in the future. He is thankful to Dr. Aldons J. Lusis as well as the Beckman Foundation for providing him with this research opportunity.
Ms. Alissa Minkovsky
Mentor: Dr. Christopher Denny
Funding: Beckman Scholar
Title: Establishing stable expression of EWS/FLI1 in primary cell lines in the search to find a Ewing's Sarcoma cell of origin
Left to right: Christopher Denny, Alissa Minkovsky, and Gary Potikyan
Ewing's sarcoma is a poorly lethal pediatric cancer characterized by a chromosomal translocation that results in the juxtaposition of the EWS gene on chromosome 22 with one of five different ETS family transcription factors of chromosome 11, the most common of which is the Fli1 gene. Alissa Minkovsky, a Junior Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics Major, is studying this EWS/Fli1 chimeric gene in the lab of Dr. Christopher Denny her first year here at UCLA. She is working, with the guidance of Gary Potikyan, towards attaining stable expression of the EWS/Fli1 protein in murine embryonic stem cells by altering tumor suppression pathways in order to come closer to finding the cell of origin in EFTs. Stable expression of EWS/Fli1 has been achieved in NIH3T3 murine cell lines which already possess numerous mutations in tumor suppression pathway genes but expression has been toxic to most primary cell lines. Strong evidence exists that alteration of the INK4a/ARF network, is necessary for oncogenesis in Ewing's. The knockdown of p16, a protein that is upstream in the p53 and RB tumor suppressor pathways, will hopefully make expression of EWS/Fli1 stable in mouse embryonic cells so that the cell types that do tolerate expression of EWS/Fli1 when the ES cells are differentiated in an tetracycline-inducible system can be identified. Alissa is studying towards a MD/PhD and a career in biomedical research.
Ms. Noa Simchoni
Mentor: Dr. Genhong Cheng
Funding: Schering-Plough Scholar
Title: Differentiating Early-Stage Viral and Bacterial Lung Infections via Innate Immune Responses
(left to right: Dr. Genhong Cheng, Noa Simchoni, Dr. Paul Dempsey)
Noa Simchoni is a fourth year student, double majoring in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics and in Psychology. She has been working in the lab of Dr. Genhong Cheng since Fall Quarter of 2004. The lab focuses on host immune and inflammatory responses to infections, cancers and metabolic challenges. Noa has focused on the innate immune system, starting off by looking at signaling through conserved molecular pathways related to Toll signaling through NFkB. Since mid 2005, she has been focused on determining which soluble inflammatory mediators are involved in very early host responses to bacterial and viral infections. For successful clearance, these two infection types require vastly different acquired immune responses. Based on the assumption that the early-stage innate immune response to these infections should direct the acquired response, the early responses should be able to differentiate between infections of either type. The eventual goal of this project is to generate a panel of soluble mediators capable of differentiating the two infection types given a blood sample. Such a panel could serve as an early detection mechanism for identifying contact with an agent and could assist in identifying at-risk prior to symptom development and full blown illness. After graduation, Noa is interested in participating in Teach For America prior to pursuing a joint MD/PhD degree.
Noa is grateful for the research opportunity given by Dr. Cheng and the Undergraduate Research Scholars Program. She would also like to thank Dr. Paul Dempsey and the rest of the Cheng lab for their guidance and support.

The Origins of Positive Judicial Independence
By Lisa Hilbink
A number of comparative judicial scholars have argued that assertions of judicial authority are a function of the level of fragmentation/competition in the formal political sphere. Accordingly, in authoritarian or one-party settings, judges should be deferential to power holders, and in places where political power is divided between branches and/or parties, one would expect to see greater levels of judicial assertiveness. Through a longitudinal, qualitative analysis of one most-likely case (Chile) and one least-likely case (Franco-era Spain) and drawing on a half-dozen other cases from the comparative judicial literature, this article argues that political fragmentation is neither sufficient nor necessary for judges to challenge powerful actors. Instead, it argues that assertive or "positively independent" judicial behavior requires ideational support, in the form of a role conception/professional ideology that gives judges motivation for such behavior. Such professional attitudes are socially and institutionally constituted in a dynamic process that itself shapes judges' perceptions of the opportunities for and obstacles to judicial assertiveness, both within and outside the judiciary.

Jennifer Jones won Olympic gold Thursday, surviving a nail-biting curling final to defeat Sweden 6-3.
The Canadians stole two in the ninth after Sweden's Maria Prtytz wrecked her final shot.
The Winnipeg skip has now added the Olympic title to the world championship she won in 2008 as well as four Canadian crowns.
In the process, Jones, third Kaitlyn Lawes, second Jill Officer and lead Dawn McEwen matched Canadian skip Kevin Martin's feat of winning Olympic gold with a perfect 11-0 record.
It's Canada's second women's curling gold. The late Sandra Schmirler won the first in Nagano, Japan, in 1998.
Swedish skip Margaretha Sigfridsson, who throws lead but calls the shots, had to settle for silver.
Britain's Eve Muirhead, the 2013 world champion, defeated Switzerland's Mirjam Ott 6-5 for the bronze medal earlier in the day.
Brad Jacobs' rink from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., tries for double Canadian curling gold Friday when he takes on two-time world champion David Murdoch of Britain.

On my first visit to Kolmanskop in 2011 I failed completely to get a single photo I liked. It was extremely hot and I thought that my 18mm lens would be ideal to capture the details of the interiors. Prior to my visit in March 2012 I studied lots of other photographer's work from the location and realised my main mistake was the wide angle lens. When I got there in 2012 with a workshop client we were blessed with an icy cold misty morning that made it much more bearable to crawl around the sand filled buildings. We got so lost in shooting all the textures, lines and colors that once we started getting tired we realised we had been shooting for 4 hours non-stop!
I got this specific shot as the sun came and went through the mist, momentarily casting these soft light beams through the slats in a broken roof.

Sunglasses with prescription lensesMany eyeglass wearers would like to have prescription lenses in their new sunglasses at a reasonable price. This is easily possible for many models available in the Edel-Optics online store and our digital dispensing optician is helpful in selecting the correct strength for your lenses. We can normally install the prescription lenses for your sunglasses in the original tint and gradient. You can optionally choose brand lenses, e.g. from Hoya or Seiko. Prescription sunglasses also have optimal UV 400 protection against ultraviolet rays. If your favourite sunglasses are available for prescription lenses, you'll find the button "order with prescription lenses" under the "add to cart" button. You are then automatically directed to our digital dispensing optician who will make suggestions for suitable lenses. Here you also have the option to choose polarized lenses which filter out light from reflective surfaces, e.g. water or glass, and so improve visibility.
Which sunglasses suit me? - Watch the video and try them on onlineYou already have all your cool outfits for the summer, but the most important accessory is still missing: your sunglasses. So you are now confronted with the most important question: which sunglasses are ideal for the summer of 2016? Are they sunglasses with round-shaped lenses? Or do edgy ones suit you better? Phil, our eyewear expert, will explain which models suit which face in our tutorial on the subject. An important criterion is always the right size or lens width of the sunglasses and a rule of thumb "Good sunglasses for you, are those that are not too big and not too small." Our eyewear expert can also be of some assistance in this respect. Additional information about each of our more than 15,000 different sunglasses for men and women can also be found on the respective product page for each model. Here you can also find out which colours were trendy in 2015 and which are all the rage in 2016, whether sunglasses with blue lenses are suitable for driving and lots more.
The ultimate test for the right choice is, of course, how you look wearing these sunglasses. With the aid of the "virtual mirror" you can try on many of our models online and get a first impression of what suits you best: mirror finish or black, retro or gold. For this you can use your webcam or upload a photo. You can find the "virtual mirror" icon on the product detail pages of those sunglasses where trying on is available online.

Banking Regulation May Hurt Hedging in Commodities, Study Finds
Services in commodities hedging provided by banks will shrink and the terms will be stricter because of new regulations adopted since the global financial crisis, Greenwich Associates said.
Regulations such as Dodd-Frank and Basel III will establish stricter capital reserve requirements and require mandatory central clearing for over-the-counter derivatives that will reduce bank profits, the Stamford, Connecticut-based researcher said in an e-mailed statement today. Companies hedge about 54 percent of their base-metals needs and 46 percent of their precious-metals exposure, according to the study.
Banks' offerings of products and credit in the commodities derivatives business may have peaked in 2011, Greenwich Associates said. The business was dominated by two banks servicing the energy industry a decade ago and has at least 10 bank and non-bank providers today, it said. Companies in Asia are the most active in hedging and cover about 75 percent of their base-metal exposure, while in Canada they cover 38 percent.
Hedges may also get shorter as banks seek to reduce long-term risk, according to the study. About 54 percent of companies hedge for a year or longer, Greenwich Associates said.

This table lamp features a beautiful base with a pine cone motif and a built-in night light.
As classic as the Western landscape that inspired it, this beautiful table lamp features an amber glass base with a pinecone motif in relief. The pedestal base comes in an Etruscan gold finish with agate marble accents. A built-in night light behind the pinecone glass lends a soft glow at night.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
This lamp is beautiful ,well built , high end . We use it in our log home and it works well.
The artistic design was exactly what I was looking for. The added nightlight in the lamp base has proven to be very useful in our household. I bought this while shopping with a friend, who liked it so much and bought it!
When I buy both Floor and Table Lamp they will proudly be displayed, used, and admired in the room we spend most of our time in. The warm glow that eminates will make my family and any guests feel welcome, warm and at home. MI Pinecone Lover
I used this in my living room in the suburbs for years before I bought my retirement log home, and it is now the main light source (other than ceiling lights) in the great room. Works great in both environments, as it is subtle rather than in your face "theme" Tall enough, and the night light is great for moving around in the middle of the night.
I use this in the living room. I use the soft light at the bottom when tv watching and the bright main light for reading.
I am going to purchase the entire collection.
The warm,rich,amber-golden hue of this lamp is simply beautiful. The style is versatile as it could be used in a lake home, mountain home, or in any home that appreciates or expresses the comforting outdoors nature theme. I purchased two table lamps but after seeing them in our home, I plan to purchase the small uplight, the torchiere, and floor lamp, the entire collection.
I first purchased the floor lamp and was so impressed with it that I bought the table lamp that matched. They are both heavy, beautiful and very well made. They are pricey, but after getting them and looking at them, they are not your typical cheap lamps. If you have a rustic or lodge theme they are perfect. I really could not find a con on these lamps and have been very pleased. Just about everyone who has seen these lamps has commented very positively on them and how sturdy they are. They are made to last for a very long time! If they are in your decorating scheme, I cannot recommend them enough.
This floor lamp give a is rustic but elegant feel for the different rooms we have used it in our Mountian Retreat home near Lake Tahoe. The warm glow from the amber glass decorated with pinecones gives any room a cozy warmth. Its easy to decorate around and highly recommend it for any Rustic Mountain or Western type decor.
This lamp is amazing! Whether on or off it is beautiful!
Delivery was much faster than expected. Arrived in perfect condition.
Customer Service is Unbeatable! They are sales people that care about providing quality information and their customers. Sales People need to earn commission for assisting those that must order online. They are valuable to my sales and deserve their well earned money.
I think this is a wonderful product. I am going to investigate more Dick Idol products for my new home.
My husband and I bought a home in the North Carolina mountains that needed a lot of renovation. We have redone the whole interior and now the home is like a mini lodge. The wooden floors are beautiful. The dining area is the center for all family activity. The buffet is an old oak decorative piece from the early 1900s. It is a massive piece. The lamp is on the buffet and is perfect. The base of the lamp can be illuminated separately and we often use this feature for soft lighting as it cast a soft glow. When we need more light - we use the regular three way lighting. I love the options as we now have the lighting for every occasion. The pine cone motif is a plus. The lamp is perfect for the cabin/lodge but also portrays a sense of elegance. We love it. I would definitely buy more Dick Idol products. I would have included picture but will not be going up until Memorial Day.
just the style i was looking for, perfect accent in our greatroom, sytlish, and elegant. they are just the right touch. lamps are very well made.
the consultant knew the product and was very helpful and courteous. a pleasure to deal with. lamps arrived in less than a week, in perfect condition. thanks fadi!
Great item! Terrific price! [...]
Love this lamp, fits our Tahoe decor perfectly without being rustic and cute. Wished they made a shorter version also. It is a conversation piece since everyone seems to notice it and loves the look of it. The night light option just increases it's use and beauty.
I bought two of these lamps and two matching lamp/candle sconces. Everyone that's seen these lamps have had nothing but positive input about their beauty and quality. They go in my house perfectly. I live in the mountains among the trees.
We wanted these lamps for over two years. We seen them in a furniture store where we live and we fell in love with them.But they were to exspencive.Then I seen them on sale on your web sight and I was so excited I bought two of them.I love them.It was worth the wait. And I see them all the time on my favorate tv soap General Hosp.(Sonneys front room)Ill say it again WE LOVE OUR LAMPS Debbie &RON
The Glacier Mountain design brings warmth and elegance to the room. It provides a center piece to a rustic mountain theme, adding character, mood, and warm lighting to the decor.
Glacier Mountain is my favorite Dick Idol collection and I'm looking forward to adding more.
