I first encountered the fusion theory of metastasis in the early 1990s and was struck by its similarity to a well-known feature of evolutionary genetics—fusion of different cell types as a mechanism for creating new gene-expression patterns and biodiversity.
With this large biological precedent as a stimulus, my research group created experimental hybrids in the laboratory between normal macrophages ultimatelyand a mouse melanoma cell line that was only weakly metastatic in mice. We were amazed to find that many of the hybrid clones were now markedly metastatic when implanted into mice.
This finding led us to a now 15-year study of the fusion theory. We have studied experimental macrophage-melanoma hybrids from many angles—chromosome content, genes expressed that are associated with metastasis, capability for chemotactic migration, and many other features. We were looking for similarities of hybrids to metastatic melanoma in humans. The thought was that the extent to which experimental macrophage-melanoma hybrids might resemble metastatic melanoma cells in humans could provide support and direction for the theory, though not ultimate proof.
We established a long list of molecules expressed by macrophage-melanoma hybrids that were also characteristic of metastatic melanoma cells and normal macrophages alike. Thus this "quacks like a duck" approach gave us some confidence that we might be on the right track—we could create a phenotype similar to that of authentic metastatic melanoma cells by fusing normal macrophages with non-metastatic melanoma cells.
But, not only did the experimental hybrids express a number of metastasis-associated proteins, they also expressed macrophage-like glycosylation structures associated with migration and metastasis. This involved a leukocytic glycosylation system where complex sugar structures known as β1,6-branched oligosaccharides are attached to N-glycoproteins, thereby orienting the cell toward a migratory phenotype.
A rate-limiting enzyme in this system is N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GnT-V), a Golgi complex enzyme that is highly expressed in macrophages and other migratory leucocytes and also widely associated with metastasis.
GnT-V and its enzymatic products, b1,6-branched oligosaccharides conjugated to N-glycoproteins, are associated with poor outcome in melanoma and carcinomas of the breast, colon, lung, GI tract, and endometrium.
GnT-V is a promiscuous enzyme with many N-glycoprotein substrates such as motility-associated integrins, adhesion molecules, and growth factor receptors. As such, GnT-V is a master regulator of migration and metastasis, initiating cascade reactions by activating numerous protein substrates through altered glycosylation. Our results with macrophage-melanoma hybrids could explain why so many cancers express GnT-V and β1,6-branched oligosaccharides while their normal cell counterparts do not.

I'm different ... by aoao2Watch
©2011-2016 aoao2
As I;m sure you remember my critique on your previous mushroom themed deviant, I'm curious if you added the 1UP shroom and such from my suggestion. Regardless, this is quite an improvement from your last piece, it feels much more satisfying to look at. You definitely worked well with the negative space, you took all that empty space and provided us with with more fun mario pieces we are all familiar with. This deviant has the same crisp and smooth quality most of your work has, I can clearly see you put effort into making something look nice. What I really like about this piece is how you tilted the 1UP shroom's cap, it gives it a little more personality. There isn't much negative I can say about this deviant, I see a lot of Mario mushroom artwork so it's not something incredibly original or new to me, and I feel the glare off the 1UP shroom's cap could be dimmed just a little bit so it's not so bright. Overall, I think the positive traits outweigh the negative traits, it's definitely a picture I can see any Mario fan using as something like a Desktop wallpaper. Great work!
The Artist thought this was FAIR
130 out of 143 deviants thought this was fair.

Hold-up and Patent Licensing of Cumulative Innovations with Private Information
James E. Bessen
Boston University - School of Law; Research on Innovation
February 2002
When innovation is cumulative, early patentees hold claims against later innovators. Then potential hold-up may cause prospective second stage innovators to forego investing in R&D. It is sometimes argued that ex ante licensing (before R&D) avoids hold-up. This paper explores ex ante licensing when information about development cost is private. In this case, contracts may not be written ex ante. Moreover, the socially optimal division of profit occurs with weak patents and ex post licensing. Empirical evidence on licensing conforms to a model with private information. In some innovative industries, little ex ante licensing occurs, suggesting hold-up remains a problem.

Struck Down
Nearly Killed in a Parade-Balloon Accident, a Mother Works to Regain Her Life
When the tape continues, the Caronnas are standing next to a lamppost on Central Park West, watching giant balloon figures jerk awkwardly in the gusty winds. Up the street a 56-foot Peter Rabbit swoops down, and the crowd utters a collective "Whoa!" "Look, Alé," sings Kathy, calling her son's attention to other balloons. Clowns, floats and marching bands pass by. Then the Cat in the Hat, with his 18-foot-high, red-and-white-striped hat, approaches and hovers over the Caronnas. For a ghoulish moment, its gigantic eyes seem to peer directly into the camera. Then it lurches into the lamppost, breaking off a 100-pound cast-iron extension that slams into Kathy Caronna's skull, knocking her unconscious.
Today, nearly a year later, the Caronnas are still struggling to refocus their lives. They have filed a $395 million lawsuit against Macy's and New York City, charging parade organizers with reckless disregard and negligence for ignoring severe wind warnings that had prompted Philadelphia, 100 miles away, to pull giant balloons from its own parade that same morning. City and Macy's officials deny any wrongdoing. "Based on our successful 68-year history of flying the balloons, we felt we were well prepared to handle the conditions," Macy's said in a written statement.
There is no denying, however, what happened to Kathy Caronna. The blow to her head was so forceful, says neurosurgeon Dr. James E.O. Hughes, who treated her after she was rushed to St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, that "it split the skull apart," damaging both the temporal and frontal lobes of her brain—areas that control speech, memory and personality. So severe were her injuries that the Caronnas fear she may never be able to resume her career (Hughes believes Kathy couldn't possibly handle her old job as a financial analyst) and say she is unable to care independently for her son. "I'm not the same person," says Kathy, now 34. "I don't know if I'll ever be that way." Her only consolation was that she had handed Alessandro to her husband just moments before the accident. "I'm happy to be alive. I have my son," she says.
Yet she now needs full-time help to raise Alessandro, 19 months, because she is often exhausted, easily frustrated and extremely forgetful. "This year, we are probably going to my mother's for Thanksgiving," she says. "It's going to be emotional for sure, because everybody has a memory of what happened last year. I don't." Gently, Massimo reminds Kathy that they are going to the Caribbean this Thanksgiving. "We are going to look forward to Christmas and just skip Thanksgiving," he says.
Ironically, Thanksgiving was a day of special significance for the Caronnas. In fact, Kathy was born on Thanksgiving Day 1963. She grew up in Bay Shore, N.Y., the youngest of four children of William Brown and his wife, Helen, graduating from high school in 1981 and following in her father's footsteps to work on Wall Street for several major investment firms.
It was at a Thanksgiving dinner hosted by mutual friends in 1993 that she met Massimo, now 33. Given Kathy's passion for all things Italian (she had studied the language and visited the country 10 times), a romance quickly blossomed. "It was just like, 'This is it,' " recalls the Italian-born Massimo, who not long before had left his job as a sales manager for clothing designer Gianfranco Ferre and was working as a waiter, "trying to figure things out." Kathy proved to be just the woman to get him back on track professionally. " 'Do it! You can do it! Come on!' " he recalls her urging.
Indeed, everything quickly began to click for the couple. Kathy got a new job in April 1994 at the prestigious banking firm of Schroder & Co., and she and Massimo married two months later. Alessandro was born in April 1997, and Massimo opened a showroom on Manhattan's upscale 57th Street for his own wholesale luxury-Italian-clothing company, the IMC Group. "Talk about happy times," he says. "Everything was just going great."
Until Thanksgiving. Just hours after her accident, doctors at St. Luke's removed a blood clot and a section of Kathy's skull to relieve pressure on her swelling brain. "I really thought she was going to die, or if she didn't we wouldn't feel happy that we saved her life," says Hughes. Yet three weeks later, Kathy woke from her coma. As usual, Massimo was by her side, holding her hand and begging her to squeeze his. Her first words, they laughingly recall, were in Italian: " 'Massimo, you're really an idiot!' "
Kathy spent a month at the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in East Orange, N.J., then in February began daily outpatient rehabilitation at Mount Sinai-NYU Medical Center in Manhattan, working on speech, balance and basic arithmetic ("It was like, 'Give me a calculator, please' "). Today, she works out at a gym twice a week, takes yoga lessons and sometimes walks 1½ miles to Mount Sinai once a week to work on cognitive skills with a neuropsychologist. Still, both Kathy and Massimo accept that she may never be quite herself.
The 72nd annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade won't be quite itself either. Macy's won't fly the Cat in the Hat this year, lampposts will be replaced by safer models to guard against the possibility of an accident like last year's, and big balloons will be grounded if winds exceed 23 mph. "It's sad," says Kathy, "that it took my accident for them to do that."

1) it's a small, original cottage, needing lots of updates; andThose things are readily apparent.
2) it may best be viewed as a lot sale.
2 Bedroom 1 Bath house. Property is sold as is, No repairs, No termite work will be done by seller. This is a short sale and all terms subject to lender approval. Value is in the land. Fixer, the property needs work.That one's a shorter walk to Manhattan Village, but they're not pitching it. It's even closer for anyone who wants to commute to the real estate office on the other side of the fence. Alas, this is not mentioned, either. They played it straight.

Article Photos
Emily, given in marriage by her brothers, James and Donald Petsche, wore an ivory satin A-line gown by Oleg Cassini. Ruched pleating formed the V-shaped neckline and waist with twisted straps that extended over the shoulders to form an open deep V-shaped back. The floor-length skirt ended in a chapel train. She wore a bridal headpiece in silver accented with pearls and Swarovski crystals coupled with an ivory blusher and cathedral length veil with scattered pearls. She carried her maternal grandmother's rosary with a bouquet of ivory roses, pale green hydrangea and pearl-filled stephanotis tied with ivory satin ribbon.
Tammy Bryant of Tiffin served as her friend's matron of honor. Bridesmaids were Andrea Hickey of Dundee, Mich., and Sara Whipple of Erie, Mich., sisters of the groom.
Attendants wore peridot chiffon floor-length dresses featuring a beaded empire waist and spaghetti straps. They carried a bouquet of white dahlias, ivory roses and green hydrangea tied with a peridot satin ribbon.
Ryan Huhn of Owosso, Mich., served as his friend's best man. Groomsmen were Dan Barron of Byron Center, Mich., and Randy Smith of Adrian, Mich., friends of the groom.
Emily is a 1994 graduate of Calvert High School and a 2007 graduate of Bowling Green State University. She is a licensed social worker.
James is a 1996 graduate of Dundee High School and a 2000 graduate of Ferris State University. He is a factory sales representative for SMC Corp. of America in Rochester Hills, Mich.
Debbra Irwin and family hosted a couple's shower Feb. 27, 2010, at Dundee United Methodist Church. The bride's aunts, Mary Jean Tiell and Donna Letterhos, hosted a bridal shower March 20, 2010, at St. Joseph Activity Center.
The rehearsal dinner was given by the groom's parents and took place at Camden Falls.
Following a honeymoon at the Westin Resort and Spa on the island of Maui, Hawaii, the couple resides in Britton, Mich.

Recent reviews
Good 3.6 /5 from 392 reviews
Good place, bit expensive.
Extremely comfortable bed after a long drive. Breakfast very basic but value for money. Ran out items very quickly. Pleasant stay.
Great place to stay , friendly staff, very good breakfast , very quiet and clean hotel . :-) I recommend for everyone to stay there.
Hotel seems to be overpriced (may be, like everything near national parks). For that price you would expect new appliances, reliable WiFi and great breakfast. But everything is mediocre. Not bad, but just not worth the price. If there is nothing else cheaper - book it. Staff is good - very helpful. There is also a pool, but who's going there for a pool? Zion, Brice and Grand Canyons are all conveniently 1-2 hours away.
good if you're looking for just a room. Nothing fancy.

What about fructose malabsorption? I had never heard of it till 2008 when the Gastro doc diagnosed me.
Surprisingly, a little fruit is ok, but coconut meat, and onions, garlic, wheat and a few other things called fructans are a bloating nightmare.
Everyone has their own personal gut limits of fructose, and some, like me, it's the fructans and amount that do it.

see also /driver for a small driver I wrote.
Note that this documents only the first revision of the touchpad. The second revision (October 2005 powerbooks) is supported in appletouch as well, while the third revision (Macbook Pro) isn't supported yet because the device reports actual HID events, but these are low resolution and not too useful.
Here's what I know about the touchpad so far.
The touchpad claims to be a HID device but doesn't really send HID events as far as I can tell, but rather its own transfers.
transferred data
The trackpad continually transfers an 81 byte block via a USB interrupt transfer.
The last byte of the transferred 81 bytes indicates the button status, it is 0x01 if the button is pressed, 0x00 otherwise.
The other 80 bytes are split into two 40 byte sections, the latter always being zerofilled. The following discusses the first 40 byte block of the transfer.
Let me introduce the following mapping function (written in python notation):
def map(bytenumber): return bytenumber % 5, bytenumber/5
Then, in X direction, the touchpad has first the sensors with first component being even, in lexical order:
Same in Y direction with the first components 1 and 3. I'll refer to them as X[0] through X[15] and Y[0] through Y[15].
Those values with first component 0 seem to signify some other level that only covers the left part of the touchpad in X direction, but are less sensitive. I haven't used them.
Now, all these values seem to be potentials, but only their change is interesting.
So now consider the following function:
1 def accu(current_vector, old_vector, accu_vector):
2 # current_vector is either X or Y
3 # old_vector is None if no old values are known,
4 # otherwise a set of old values
5 # we change accu_vector which must have length 16, all initialised to 0
7 if old_vector is None:
8 for i in range(16): old_vector[i] = current_vector[i]
9 return
10 for i in range(16):
11 tmp = old_vector[i] - current_vector[i]
12 if tmp > 127: tmp -= 256
13 if tmp < -127: tmp += 256
14 accu_vector[i] -= tmp
In the normal state, accu_vector will be 0, and only fluctuate slightly due to the touchpad characteristics. When you touch it though, these values increase depending on where the finger is in X and Y directions. That can be used to track the position of the finger. We used an approach that calculates the finger position by weighing:
1 half_weight = sum(accu_vector)
2 pos = None
3 i = 0
4 acc = 0
5 if half_weight > threshold/2: # get rid of fluctuations
6 while acc + accu_vector[i] < half_weight:
7 acc += accu_vector[i]
8 i += 1
9 val = i + (half_weight - acc)/(0.0+accu_vector[i]) # weigh inside one of the 16 areas
11 # val contains None if no finger or the current position
This snippet calculates the finger position for one direction.
Now this this you can implement pretty much everything you need. I recommend threshold = 20, but we're thinking of a different way to detect the finger. Also, multiple fingers are reported correctly, if there are two fingers on the touchpad you don't know on which of the 4 positions they are (unless this data is sent and we haven't seen it yet).

Paris' church-building career in Kona began with Kahikolu
Kahikolu Church
Kahikolu Church marked the start of the Rev. John D. Paris' church-building career in Kona after his return to the mission field in 1852. As he wrote later: "The first church which I erected in South Kona was the Kahikolu, or Trinity, Church near Kealakekua Bay. This church is on the site of the immense stone and adoby (sic) building erected in 1840 under the supervision of Brethern Forbes and Ives. (The roof of this old church had fallen in, and complete rebuilding was found necessary.) The new Kahikolu Church was built of lava rock, taking the width of the old building for the length of the new one. For the lime, coral was cut from the bottom of the ocean by the Hawaiians. I had a hole dug and built a lime kiln where the coral was burned. The lime thus obtained was of good quality and was used for making mortar as well as finishing the interior of the building. The heavy timbers were dragged from the forest, and the koa shingles and lumber for pulpit and pews were brought from the koa forest a number of miles up the mountainside."
Kahikolu fell victim to time, earthquakes, termites and the gradual dispersal of its congregation. By the second half of the 20th century, it was a dangerous ruin. A grassroots effort restored the church in 1986, and it once more boasts an active congregation.
Kahikolu is the final resting place of Henry Opukahaia, the famous Hawaiian who inspired the first Protestant American missionaries to come to Hawaii. In 1809, Opukahaia swam from the beach at Napoopoo to the safety of Capt. Britnall's American ship anchored in Kealakekua Bay. Defying his uncle, who was training him for the priesthood near Hikiau Heiau, Opukahaia chose to travel to the United States. Once in New England, his conversion to Christianity inspired him with a desire to return to Hawaii as a missionary and share his new faith with his own people. Unfortunately, he died of typhus fever in Connecticut at the age of 26 before his dream could be realized.
The remains of Opukahaia's body were moved to Kahikolu Church in 1993. The entrance to Kahikolu Church is marked by a sign on the makai side of Napoopoo Road. Follow the gravel road to the church parking lot.

If you exit STRSQL and press F10 to see low level messages, are there

Mario Lopez wants to get back together Karina Smirnoff – at least on the dance floor.
"I love dancing and she's the best partner and the best teacher, and I'd be honored if she would dance with me," Lopez told PEOPLE at ESPN THE MAGAZINE'S ESPY Style Studio Monday. So does that mean everything is amicable between the two, despite her recent claims of his cheating? "Oh yeah, everything's all good."
Never far from the dance floor – Lopez is currently starring in A Chorus Line – insists he is a solo act these days.
"I'm not looking for Miss Right right now. I'm just sort of working on becoming Mr. Right. Make sure it happens. It's going to happen," he said. So he isn't dating anyone? "No, unfortunately I haven't had a chance. I've just been working. I'm just dating my Broadway show and my book."
PEOPLE's 34-year-old Hottest Bachelor does admit that his steamy spread in the magazine has brought him no shortage of female admirers. "People come up to me and ask me to sign it a lot. [They say] 'What were you thinking?' And 'how did it feel?' And 'you're naked!' And 'oh my gosh!' And 'my mother and my grandmother, they put it up in their room.' And it's funny. I didn't think it was going to cause such a big stir."
The ESPY's air July 20 at 9 p.m. on ESPN.

South Carolina 79, S.C. State 51
COLUMBIA -- South Carolina coach Darrin Horn knew this was his team's last chance to work on things before the start of Southeastern Conference play on Saturday with a date at No. 2 Kentucky. He was pleased with the Gamecocks' balanced attack and the way they distributed the ball in a 79-51 victory over South Carolina State Tuesday night.
Malik Cooke and Damontre Harris each scored 11 points to lead the way as all 12 South Carolina players scored. It was the Gamecocks' fourth straight victory and sixth in the past seven games. The only setback during that time was an eight-point loss at home to then-No. 2 Ohio State.
"It was a positive to see our guys come out the way they did, especially offensively," Horn said. "We shared the basketball, and obviously we shot the ball well from the perimeter. I think a large part of that is we were focused on taking the right kind of shots.
"Any time you get everybody some minutes heading into league play, and everybody gets in the scoring column, is a positive. Fourth game in a row our guys have come out with the focus we are going to need."
Former Berkeley High star Bruce Ellington, former Fort Dorchester High standout RJ Slawson and Damien Leonard added nine points apiece as the Gamecocks (8-6) improved to 18-0 all-time against the Bulldogs (4-10) of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
Ellington was playing a day after serving as a kick returner and wide receiver in the Gamecocks' 30-13 victory over Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl. The sophomore guard missed Saturday's win over South Carolina Upstate but was coming off a 17-point effort in his last outing, a 57-45 win over Wofford on Dec. 28.
He played a season-low 13 minutes Tuesday but was 3 for 3 on 3-pointers. Ellington has made 8 of 9 3-pointers in the last two games he's played.
"Sometimes I don't want to shoot after practice, but our trainer does a good job of getting me in there and getting shots up," Ellington said. "He gets me in there every day to work on my shot, and it's getting better."
The balanced attack was not lost on the Gamecocks players.
"It's a good confidence builder," Slawson said. "That's good leading into SEC play with momentum and confidence."
The Gamecocks never trailed after Eric Smith made the first of South Carolina's seven 3-pointers in the first half to make it 5-2 in the early going. They finished 7 of 13 from beyond the arc and shot 58.6 percent (17 of 29) overall in building a 45-23 halftime advantage. The lead reached as many as 30 points in the second half.
"We get better every day," Harris said. "Coach (Horn) stresses that all the time, to get better and play hard and do the things that you can do. Our confidence level is up."
Luka Radovic led the way for S.C. State with 15 points. The Bulldogs have lost eight in a row, the past seven on the road.
3-Point Field Goals -- SCST 3-15 (Martin 2-6, Joint 1-5, Toombs 0-1, Sanders 0-1, Riley 0-2); USC 11-23 (Ellington 3-3, Leonard 3-6, Smith 2-3, Slawson 2-4, Cooke 1-1, Richardson 0-2, Phillips 0-2, Williams 0-2). Steals -- SCST 5 (Sanders 3); USC 11 (Slawson 3). Blocks -- SCST 5 (Joint 3); USC 6 (Jackson 2, Gill 2). Turnovers -- SCST 17 (Riley 4); USC 13 (Harris 3). Technicals -- SCST 1 (Radovic); USC 1 (Harris). A--6,557.

Although his team is 1-2, it's hard for Coach John Franco to have many complaints with how his Altoona Mountain Lion defense has performed this year.
The unit, spearheaded by the likes of Markief Knode, Matt Dry, Brandon Bernazzoli, Brennan Luciano, Austin Rosenberry, Jake Diviney, Manny Span, Josh Kutz, Noah Scheinberg and Kevin Givens among others, hasn't given up 250 yards in a game yet.
Through three starts, the Lion defense only has surrendered four touchdowns on defense.
"They've been consistent for us all year," Franco said. "They played well for us up until the last drive [last week against Penn-Trafford], when we let them convert a few third downs and we needed to make a play. They've been solid. They've been steady."
The group will be put to the test in Foothills Conference high school football action Friday in Monroeville when it goes up against a 3-0 Gateway team that has put 61, 46 and 55 points on the board.
"This might be one of the best offenses I've seen. This might be the most talent I've seen on the offensive side ... or both sides," Franco said of the Gators. "Some of the scouts have told me that they have seven Division I players, and they have speed that I haven't seen before."
Gateway averages more than 400 yards per game. Its top two rushers net more than 10 yards per carry. Its top two receivers get more than 20 yards per reception. Running back Andre Martin has scored nine times and only carried the ball 30 times.
Senior quarterback Thomas Woodson runs the show. Woodson has completed 21 of 30 passes for 502 yards and five touchdowns without an interception in the early going, while also running for 150 yards and three scores. He has verbally committed to play his college ball at Arizona for Rich Rodriguez.
"We have a very experienced team. A lot of kids are returning starters. Having a veteran quarterback makes a difference offensively, and he has advanced our offense to the point that he can make live checks at the line of scrimmage," said Gators coach Terry Smith, the former Gateway star who went on to start as a wide receiver at Penn State. "He can get us out of a bad play call and make it a good play call. Experience is a big factor, and we have some very talented young men who can play very well."
Gateway is a contender for the WPIAL Class AAAA title virtually every year under Smith. Despite a 95-28 career record, this might be Smith's last year, though; Gateway is making him choose after the season whether he wants to remain as football coach or continue as the school's athletic director.
"I'm still weighing the options. I'm not sure what I'll do," Smith said.
Franco and Smith are well-acquainted: Smith coached Franco's youngest son, Johnny, in the PSFCA East West All-Star Game one year after Franco himself was the West coach, and Franco served Smith as a consultant. Although on paper it looks like Altoona will have its work cut out for it just to stay with the Gators, Franco has Smith's respect.
"The greatest challenge for us is John is a very crafty coach who won a state title. He's a terrific coach. They run a lot of shifts and motion that are designed to outflank and confuse a defense. Our first three opponents didn't do any of that, so we have to be disciplined," Smith said. "We have to make sure we don't get outcoached."
After a fast start against Norwin, Altoona has sputtered offensively. The Lions averaged 218.5 yards in a 7-0 loss to Kiski Area and a 21-7 setback at Penn-Trafford. Avery Howsare, who ran for 160 yards in week 1, has been held to 29 yards since, although Givens emerged last week with 67 yards on the ground.
"I knew it was going to take time to develop it. We have a lot of work to do, and we're just not very good at this point," Franco said. "We don't accept that. We've got to get better."

UT System releases report on curbing student debt
AUSTIN — Students are racking up some serious college debt, and The University of Texas wants to figure out a solution.
The UT System's Student Debt Reduction Task Force released its report Wednesday night about how to maximize student return on investment.
This comes after state-wide tuition increases and Gov. Rick Perry's challenge for universities to create $10,000 degree plans. Nationwide, student loan debt now surpasses credit card debt.
"Managing student debt is really about managing risk and risk is best managed through accurate and timely information," said Scott Kelley, task force chair and UT System executive vice chancellor for business affairs. "Our report seeks to shine a light on the myriad of issues surrounding student debt and to recommend strategies whereby students and their families have access to better information, make more informed debt decisions and maximize the return on their educational investment.
The task force outlines three steps to minimizing debt, which are currently talking points for the upcoming legislative session:
- Degree completion
- Better understanding of costs and returns
- Transparency and decision support
The task force is scheduled to present their report, College "Credit": Reducing Unmanageable Student Debt and Maximizing Return on Education, at Thursday morning's Board of Regents meeting in Austin.

"Nathan Rissman basically did everything for me," the singer – who produced and narrated the film, I Am Because We Are – told PEOPLE. "He was my gardener. He was my carpenter. He rerouted the electricity in my house. He looked after the children. And he started making home movies of my children. And they were amazing."
Impressed by his work, the singer, 49, tapped Rissman to helm the movie, which documents Madonna's first encounters with David Banda, the boy she has struggled to adopt since 2006. The film is also quite graphic – showing the death of one orphan and the aftermath of another child's violent castration.
"Nathan has the ability to instill trust in people," Madonna said from the stage after Thursday's screening. "And so many of the children started to open up to him ... I've ended up with what I consider to be a very good film and a beautiful son."
Although the film is still in need of a distributor, Rissman said he's honored to be part of the project. "I have to pinch myself all the time," he told PEOPLE.
Life with MadonnaThe Renaissance man also offered a rare glimpse into Madonna's homelife with husband Guy Ritchie and their three kids, Lola, 11, Rocco, 7, and David, now 2. (The adoption process is expected to become final this spring.)
"They're unique parents," he said. "David's walking and talking a little bit now. And Rocco and Lola just absorbed David into the family."

PITTSBURGH - Nobody has enough money.
This conclusion is drawn from an overview of the news pages, not just the momentary avalanche of post-holiday bills.
School districts are hurting. Roads and bridges are crumbling. People who have jobs may not have transit service to get to them.
Times are tough.
Yet you'd never know that by looking at the turnstile count for the local pro teams.
Aside from a time when a labor stoppage forced replacement teams for a few weeks in 1987, the Steelers have been sold out since 1972.
Saturday's home game against New Jersey was the Penguins' 229th consecutive sellout.
The prices are steep: A prime seat for a Penguins' game costs at least $225. It's at least $60 for a seat at the back of the upper deck.
The few Steelers tickets that are available each year are either $64 or $68.
Once you're in the building, you start peeling off $10 bills for beer, more for food.
The ubiquitous officially-licensed team gear isn't cheap. The Steelers offer an authentic jersey with your choice of name and number for $275.
The Penguins have authentic jerseys for $329.99.
Somehow people come up with this.
Nobody has enough money except when it comes to sports.
Time to go
The Steelers' Aaron Smith suggested last week that he might still try to play.
His desire to come back from neck surgery at age 35 is admirable, but ultimately impractical for the Steelers.
Smith has been sidelined for big parts of the past three seasons. The Steelers can't afford the roster spot or the cap room for a player who's unavailable that much.
It's sad if they have to tell him, but it's time to end an outstanding career.
Adding up
West Virginia's football team scored 70 points in its Orange Bowl victory over Clemson.
The WVU basketball team has failed to reach 70 points in three games this season.
Oh, (bleep)
A producer at Root Sports was given a suspension when the channel's "all access" broadcast of a Penguins game included a profanity in Dan Byslma's taped pre-game speech.
It's not like it was difficult to catch: It was the first (expletive) word Bylsma spoke in the clip.

what type of dressform are you using. I need to get me one.
It is a cheap one (for a dress form) from Singer that can adjust to your size. Obviously it is better than nothing but it is not as perfect as a specific dressform at your specific size, but way cheaper. They provide different size (small, medium, large).

The most amazing girl I know. Someone who makes me feel like I can do nothing wrong. She can be a little jealous but it is just her way of showing she cares. She's someone so down to earth despite her having a lot of money. She's incredibly sweet and kind.

As important as it is for South Carolina's only historically black state-owned college to succeed, Gov. Nikki Haley's tough stand against lending S.C. State University $12 million more is justified.
It's true that years of financial mismanagement, increasing debt, decreasing enrollment and now academic probation can't be fixed overnight.
But it's reasonable to think that S.C. State has had time to hire an outside financial consultant - a stipulation of the school's receiving a $6 million loan in April of this year.
It's no surprise that S.C. State has returned to the state to request more money. A legislatively appointed panel of current and past state college presidents has estimated S.C. State's debt at about $18 million.
But even members of that panel, who might be prone to sympathize with a struggling fellow school, recommended lending money to S.C. State over several years instead of all right now. It suggests $6 million by next June, $4 million in 2015-16 and $2 million in 2016-17.
S.C. State has to do a lot to prove to taxpayers and to legislators that it is addressing its problems aggressively and effectively. Taxpayers won't support spending more and more money without assurances it will be used well. Neither should their elected representatives.
One obvious move toward re-establishing trust would be to follow through on its promise to hire an outside financial consultant - and then, with his help, to design a plan for the school to get out of the unhappy mess where it finds itself.
At that point the university could reasonably expect more help to get its financial house finally in order.

Should You Rent or Buy?
Trulia this week released a new rent vs. buy calculator that lets prospective homeowners answer the question by entering where they want to buy and fiddling around with more than a dozen variables from mortgage and tax rates to home prices and how long they plan to stay. If you're feeling nerdy you can play with economic assumptions like inflation and rent appreciation.
An accompanying press release notes that many of the hottest markets like San Jose and San Francisco are inching up on the tipping point toward renting. In San Jose, for instance, buying is only about 4% cheaper than renting and mortgage rates would only need to rise to 5.2% to tip that balance toward renting. On the opposite end of the spectrum, buying is 65% cheaper than renting in Detroit. Mortgage rates would have to hit some pretty historic highs – 32.8% – before that calculus tips toward renting.

Last week I asked you if you knew what drink you get if you combine cola with orange. Did you know the answer?
Spezi is a soft drink made with cola and orange fizzy drink. While technically a brand registered to Brauhaus Riegele in Augsburg, Germany, in most of Germany and Austria, Spezi is a generic term for the mixture.
Why someone decided to mix orange and cola flavoured fizzy drinks is a bit like asking how someone figured out that any other drink combination would be good together. However, due to its thirst-quenching qualities, Spezi is popular in ski resorts and mountain huts. Since many designated drivers opt for a Spezi, it is sometimes referred to as "driver's beer". It is also sometimes called "Kalter Kaffee" (cold coffee) because of its colour.
Spezi is found in many locations around Germany. Mezzo Mix, a similar product, is sold in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Finland and even some international sections of Wegmans. Other similar products exist, including Coca-Cola Orange.
Spezi and its alternatives are available year round.
In addition to brand differences, it was also possible to find lemon varieties of the drink as well as the orange option. Proving not as popular, the lemon version was discontinued for some time but since about 2003, it has started to make an appearance again.
How Much [Should I Drink]:
Spezi is not a drink for me. I find the mixture of the two flavours makes both bland and doesn't do much for creating a new flavour. But I happily admit, I appear to be in the minority on this. You will just have to drink it yourself to decide.
Pas Op! (Watch Out!):
There can be quite a difference between brands, so while you might not like one brand feel adventerous and try another.

The NFL combine is one of sport's great paradoxes, as a football prospect can drastically alter his draft stock without ever actually playing football. But in a league in which athleticism is exponentially increasing, the reality is that one's measurables have nearly as much of an effect on draft stock as game film.
The label "combine star" comes with a negative stigma, as it is often a euphemism for a freakish athlete who cannot handle the nuances of football. Nevertheless, the combine is also an opportunity for worthy prospects to place themselves in the spotlight and grab the attention of prospective employers.
With that in mind, here are a few prospects likely to see their draft stock rise after February's combine.
Ka'Deem Carey, RB, Arizona
Carey is arguably the highest-rated running back in the draft class, but that does not carry the same high-pick guarantee it used to. The former Arizona running back holds a second-round projection from CBSSports.com despite rushing for nearly 2,000 yards last season.
Right now #ArizonaWildcats Ka'Deem Carey appears to be a second round pick by one NFL draft analyst http://t.co/c1da1pvvPJ— Daily Wildcat Sports (@WildcatSports) January 28, 2014
Carey's greatest asset is his open-field speed and elusiveness, a skill that should play well both in workouts and on film. Even at just 5'10" and 196 pounds, Carey ran much more powerfully in his junior season. As Matthew Fairburn of SBNation.com notes, Carey's biggest questions might come in the interview room:
NFL teams are sure to investigate Carey's off-the-field issues, mainly an incident in which he was charged with assault and disorderly conduct in a domestic violence case only to have the charges dropped. Things like that don't disappear completely, and Carey will have to answer questions about it between now and when he decides to enter the NFL.
So long as Carey's character checks out, his status as one of the draft's top backs should remain intact. With the impact Eddie Lacy made in Green Bay in 2013, perhaps a team will take the plunge on the draft's best all-around back in the late stages of the first round.
Jordan Tripp, OLB, Montana
The FCS label is a difficult one to shed, but Tripp ranks as one of the very best from college football's de facto second division. Like many FCS players, Tripp is a bit smaller than the prototypical NFL linebacker at just 6'3" and 237 pounds.
With that size comes speed and fluidity, which Tripp consistently demonstrated on tape. At his best, the ex-Grizzly could be a three-down player who provides a consistent pass rush off the edge. He needs to add a few pounds to hold up against NFL offensive linemen, but his range already reminds Bleacher Report's Matt Bowen of a defensive back:
Montana LB Jordan Tripp (6-2, 237) moves like a SS in individual drills when looking at the speed/burst coming out of his break.— Matt Bowen (@MattBowen41) January 21, 2014
Bowen himself was a safety in his playing days, so his praise is certainly eye-opening. A good combine showing could move him into the early rounds.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington
Tight ends have transformed from glorified offensive linemen to matchup nightmares in recent seasons, with an emphasis on big, athletic specimens. Like Antonio Gates and Jimmy Graham before him, Washington's Seferian-Jenkins is an ex-basketball player who could wreak havoc at the position.
At 6'6" and 276 pounds, Seferian-Jenkins has drawn comparisons to Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski in that both are huge and physically gifted all-around players. Like Gronk, ASJ was a red-zone monster, scoring 21 touchdowns over three collegiate seasons and compiling a 12.6 yards per catch average. Combined with his improved blocking, the Husky has few discernible weaknesses.
Shaping up to be a great TE group. ASJ rare size/catch radius MT @Softykjr: Austin Seferian-Jenkins told me this was his last game at UW.— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) December 28, 2013
Austin Seferian-Jenkins is impressive blocking just for how natural he makes it look. Not overextending...treats it like a zone blocker.— NDT Scouting, KMC (@NFLDraftTracker) February 2, 2014
Seferian-Jenkins' biggest red flag is an intangible one, however. A DUI arrest in March 2013 led to a suspension, and some have questioned his erratic competitiveness, as noted by ESPN Insider (subscription required). If the hulking tight end can straighten out his character concerns, expect him to light up the combine and emerge as a first-rounder as teams salivate over his skills and tools.
Loucheiz Purifoy, CB, Florida
Hopefully, you're sensing a theme here. Like the aforementioned names, Purifoy is a supremely talented player whose character raises some concerns.
Purifoy came into his junior year needing to refine his mechanics rather than relying solely on instincts and speed to compensate.
Finished studying @GatorZoneFB Louchiez Purifoy from '12 tape. Great athlete w/smooth movement skills.. Raw, unrefined technician— Bucky Brooks (@BuckyBrooks) August 8, 2013
However, Purifoy underwhelmed for an underachieving 4-8 Gators squad. He did record his first two career interceptions and illustrated his natural playmaking ability with a forced fumble, a blocked field goal and two sacks. In terms of pure cover skills, Purifoy rates out as one of the top defensive backs of the class.
Purifoy was arrested for possession of marijuana last year, though the charges were dismissed due to a lack of evidence. If the corner can prove that his on-field competitiveness usurps his spotty off-field record, he may end up as a borderline first-round selection.

What is ADB and how does it assist the Philippines?
ADB is a multilateral development bank whose mission is to assist its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people.
Headquartered in Manila, and established in 1966, ADB is owned and financed by its 67 members, of which 48 are from the region and 19 are from other parts of the globe.
The Philippines is not only ADB's founding member and 11th largest shareholder, but also its host country. It is the sixth largest recipient with total assistance, including cofinancing, amounting to $1.6 billion in 2014. It is also one of the largest clients for private sector lending and equity investments, and it is a supplier, winning bids under ADB loans and technical assistance (TA) projects.
Who are ADB's clients in the Philippines?
ADB's development partnership includes a wide range of stakeholders representing Government, civil society, donor institutions, the business community, and research and academic institutions.
ADB primarily provides resources to the Government of the Philippines (GOP) to support its development projects. The Department of Finance (DOF) is ADB's main counterpart. The different line departments, Government Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs), and Government Financial Institutions (GFIs) execute or implement the projects across various sectors. Oversight agencies, particularly the DOF, National Economic and Development Authority, and Department of Budget and Management help ensure smooth identification implementation of the projects.
How can non-government organizations (NGOs) and the private sector be involved in ADB projects in the Philippines?
NGOs in the Philippines, for instance, are now involved in implementing projects under the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction, which provides resources to innovative pilot projects designed to reduce poverty.
Can local government units (LGUs) receive direct assistance from ADB?
ADB provides resources directly to National Government Agencies (NGAs), Government Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs), and Government Financial Institutions (GFIs), since these are supported by sovereign guarantee from the Government of the Philippines.
LGUs, can, however, benefit from ADB through NGAs or fund conduits such as GFIs and the Municipal Development Fund (MDF). Many LGUs are beneficiaries of ADB's ongoing projects for LGUs being implemented by the Government and the various fund conduits. Potential LGUs may access these funds by coordinating directly with the implementing agencies.
What are the types of assistance that ADB offers?
ADB provides assistance to the Government of the Philippines in the form of loans, and technical assistance that are usually grants. Loans support development projects in sectors and areas agreed upon by both ADB and the Government. Besides project loans, ADB also provides program and sector loans, which support policy, sector, and institutional reforms.
ADB extends technical assistance (TA) in three forms:
- Project Preparatory TA (PPTA) which helps in project preparation and detailed engineering
- Advisory TA (ADTA) which aids in institutional strengthening, sector and policy studies, and non-project-related human resource development
- Regional TA (RETA) which assists development activities covering many countries in the region/sub-region.
ADB also administers, on behalf of the Government of Japan, the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction, which provides resources to innovative pilot projects designed to reduce poverty.
What are the levels of lending and grants that ADB provides to the Philippines annually?
ADB provides around $600 million in assistance to the Philippines annually.
The country partnership strategy, 2011-2016 for the Philippines targets governance reforms and measures to drive broad-based growth and poverty reduction efforts. The program amounts to $3.8 billion for the six-year period. The new strategy is fully aligned with government priorities, focusing on strengthening the investment environment to attract more private funding for infrastructure development and job creation.
The country operations business plan, 2015-2017 for the Philippines will further focus on creating employment, developing labor skills, supporting education reforms, developing infrastructure, and improving the investment climate.
What are the terms and conditions of ADB loans?
ADB offers its public and private sector borrowers LIBOR-based loan (LBL) carrying a floating lending rate that consists of a six-month LIBOR and a spread fixed over the life of the loan. ADB's lending rate for Government loans is LIBOR+0.60 ADB spread, usually with a repayment period of 20 years including a grace period of 4-5 years. ADB also charges a front-end fee of 1% and annual commitment fee of 0.75% computed on the scheduled undisbursed portion of the loan.

Very creepy, very capturing. I love it. A lot.
This was totally awesome. I agree with Huggle, you really did capture it well, and I liked the way you described the feelings of the Wraith trying to take her over. Excellent job!
Reviewer: Ren (Anonymous)

This was excellent! I love Teyla's progression into Wraithdom - the hunger and later referring to them as Lanteans....just wonderful!
You really captured Teyla's predicament in this story: having to utilise her Wraith inheritance, a part of her that she is disgusted by. It's not as easy or pleasant for her as it is for John; he got the better side of the deal (even if the view of the Ancients has changed). He sort of got the Angel DNA and she got the demon DNA. And John doesn't have to tell Atlantis he is Ancient. Teyla has to let something unpleasant and vicious bubble up from inside herself every time she lets her Wraith side loose. The way she struggled to distance herself from her Wraith mindset after flying the ship was well explored; it reminded me of the S1 ep where she had the nightmare about feeding on John. But I love that he sort of brought her back with his presence and she wanted him to be there the second time, like he could keep her anchored. Powerful, and well-written. Thank you for sharing (and sorry for the rambling review, but this really got to me).

Nightingale Associates in the UK has won two school projects under the Tower Hamlets Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme.
The £13.1 million Oakhams School and the £4.2 million Ian Mikado School are the first for the practice under the local framework and will involve refurbishments of both schools' facilities. Ian Mikado, a Special Needs School, will also give the practice the opportunity to expand its SEN portfolio, an area in which it is fast developing. Nightingale Associates, which has a research team committed to developing education environments that stimulate learning and well-being, will now begin the design phases for both projects.
Nightingale Associates will work with contractor, Bouygues, who this month signed the 5-10 year, £240 million contract with Tower Hamlets Local Authority to transform 18 schools within its borough. The contract is part of the Government's nationwide BSF programme, which aims to transform all schools in the UK by 2020.
The Tower Hamlets BSF programme will consist of four batches, each containing four to five schools, and will involve a combination of new-build developments and refurbishments.
Nightingale Associates had worked with A Studio Architects to secure its place on the framework, with the design of a sample school, the Bethnal Green Technology College.

10.0.0.2 with a metric of 50.
If/when the primary firewall is down then incoming mail servers try to
access 10.0.0.10 via the SECONDARY route but the as the server has the
PRIMARY firewall as the default route the incoming mail cannot get
This is not so much of a pain with email, we have other services that
more critical and this is causing an issue.
Any suggestions???
Thank you.

Dr. P. Errecart, from Argentina, recently lectured before the Academia Nacional de Medicina of Rio de Janeiro on aural vertigo (Ménière's disease).

There is a perfect balance between the influence of the two labyrinths, which should be of the same bilateral intensity, since when there is a unilateral predominance a breaking of the balance is produced.
