|Bruins practice with 'heavy hearts'
|04.16.13 at 12:05 pm ET
WILMINGTON — After postponing Monday's game against the Senators in wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, the Bruins took the ice Tuesday at Ristuccia Arena.
"I think it was one of those days when you practice with heavy hearts," coach Claude Julien said. "Obviously, we have a job to do and we still have to do our job, but I think our guys in there are proud of the city they represent, Boston. As much as it was hard to really go out there today and give your all, I think our guys did a good job. But practice is over and our thoughts are back to those people affected by it. Boston, for me personally and my family is a city we've fallen in love with. When you something like that happen, there's no doubt it affects you as an individual, and even as us as a group."
The B's did some power-play work before beginning a full practice at 11:30. All players were accounted for, including Brad Marchand (concussion). Marchand, who was skating for the third straight day, was in a green jersey with spare forwards Jay Pandolfo and Jordan Caron. A good sign for the B's is that Marchand did not seem limited, taking contact for the first time since suffering his concussion last Wednesday.
The lines were as follows:
Gregory Campbell – David Krejci – Jaromir Jagr
Milan Lucic – Patrice Bergeron – Tyler Seguin
Daniel Paille – Chris Kelly – Nathan Horton
Kaspars Daugavins – Rich Peverley – Shawn Thornton
Extra forwards: Brad Marchand, Jay Pandolfo, Jordan Caron
Patrice Bergeron was expected to be examined prior to Monday's game, but he was not cleared given Monday's events. Claude Julien said following Tuesday's practice that Bergeron is "highly probable" to play Wednesday, assuming there is a game.
|Patrice Bergeron feels 'ready' to return, could play Monday vs. Senators
|04.15.13 at 11:58 am ET
Both Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand (both coming off concussions) participated in the Bruins' morning skate Monday, and Bergeron could make his return to the Boston lineup Monday night after missing the last six games.
Bruins coach Claude Julien said the team is being "extra safe" with Bergeron's situation, given that this is his fourth career concussion. The medical staff will give final clearance as to whether the reigning Selke winner plays Monday night against the Senators. Bergeron said he only felt symptoms for a day following the play in which he was concussed, and that he's had time to recover, get back on the ice and prepare for the final couple weeks of the regular season.
"I feel like I'm ready," Bergeron said, "but we'll see."
"I feel good," he said. "I feel confident and I don't feel cautious either. We've taken the time and there's a reason for that, so I'm not hesitant."
Bergeron said that this concussion was less significant than his previous three. Though he missed only two games due to his previous concussion, it was actually 13 days because the Bruins had swept the Flyers and had some time before starting the Eastern Conference finals against the Lightning, with Bergeron making his return in Game 3 of that series. If he plays Monday, he will have missed just as much time as he did last time, though he'll have obviously missed more game. Either way, Bergeron feels this concussion wasn't as bad as any of the ones before it.
"I healed a lot quicker and felt better a lot quicker," he said. "It was good news."
As for Marchand, who suffered a concussion on an elbow to the head from Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov last week, the pesky forward skated Monday for the second consecutive day. He has not yet taken contact, which figures to be the next step in his recovery.
Tuukka Rask was the first goaltender off the ice, suggesting he will get the start Monday night against the Senators.

|Patrice Bergeron will travel to Carolina with Bruins
|04.12.13 at 12:46 pm ET
Patrice Bergeron will make the trip to Carolina with the Bruins, coach Claude Julien told reporters at Friday's practice in Boston, where Bergeron skated with his teammates. However, Bergeron is not expected to play against the Hurricanes on Saturday,
Bergeron has been out since April 2 with a concussion, which he sustained after a hit from Colin Greening of the Senators during a 3-2 Bruins win. He resumed workouts this week and skated in Friday's team practice. He has a history of concussions, and this most recent one was his third since a major one in October 2007 that knocked him out for the remainder of the season.
Bergeron has missed five games, in which the Bruins have gone 3-2, and still ranks second on the team with 31 points.
|No update on Brad Marchand as Patrice Bergeron skates and Adam McQuaid nears return
|04.11.13 at 11:39 am ET
Patrice Bergeron took part in a limited morning skate Thursday at TD Garden, marking the first time he's been spotted on the ice since leaving last Tuesday's game against the Senators with a concussion. Bergeron skated with Adam McQuaid, Wade Redden, Kaspars Daugavins, Jay Pandolfo and Aaron Johnson.
As for Brad Marchand, Claude Julien told reporters that the left winger still was being evaluated after taking an elbow to the head from Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov. Marchand left Wednesday's game following the elbow and did not return.
Julien did say that he feels McQuaid is "ready" to return to Boston's lineup, and that he will likely do so Thursday against the Islanders. McQuaid has missed the last 11 games with a shoulder strain.

|Tyler Seguin has a whole new appreciation for Patrice Bergeron
|04.05.13 at 1:47 am ET
He didn't think it would be this hard.
But after skating up and down the center of the ice and going side to side in his first game as a center, Tyler Seguin has a whole new appreciation and understanding of exactly what Patrice Bergeron does.
In his first game replacing the concussed Bergeron, Seguin skated 19 shifts in 19 minutes with Jaromir Jagr on his right and Brad Marchand on his left. Seguin finished with three shots in Boston's 1-0 win over the Devils Thursday night at the Garden.
"First shift I was like, 'Bergy, I appreciate you a lot more right now,'" Seguin said. "I guess the first period I felt it a little bit more, but, again, as the game progressed I felt like I could use my speed a little bit more, and it was just about finding those areas. It's one thing from being a centerman and then going to the NHL, but it's another thing from going center to wing in the NHL and then going back to center, so it's going to take some adjustment."
His coach could certainly see a difference.
"Well, it brought us what we thought. Tyler is obviously realizing, probably, how tough it is for Bergy to play that position, because playing in the D-zone, there's a lot of territory to cover as a centerman, and when pucks are going from one side to the other, he wasn't always there," coach Claude Julien added. "That's the work in progress, and that's what we expected, and that's what he's going to get used to. But overall, that line was fine. Again, you've got to remember there's a Hall of Famer on that line with two young players who were probably looking for him a bit too much versus making the plays or taking the shots like they should've. Hopefully, it will wear off and it will get better."
Seguin also has a new appreciation of the responsibility Bergeron carries in the face-off circle. Seguin won just three-of-12 but vowed to get better with practice. Read the rest of this entry »
|Peter Chiarelli confirms fourth concussion for Patrice Bergeron
|04.03.13 at 3:57 pm ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli confirmed at his post-NHL trade deadline press conference that center Patrice Bergeron suffered a concussion in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Ottawa. SportsNet's Nick Kypreos was the first to report the news on Wednesday.
"I talked to Patrice," Chiarelli said. "Patrice suffered a concussion, described as moderate. I talked to him about [4 p.m. Wednesday]. He was in very good spirits. He was out walking today. He was annoyed at it. He was emotional Tuesday night. I don't know when you'll see him [playing] again. I don't think you'll see him [Thursday]."
Bergeron lunged at Ottawa forward Colin Greening in the Bruins' zone in the second period Tuesday and hit his head on Greening's elbow/forearm as the Ottawa forward was shooting. Bergeron left the game and did not return.
This is the fourth concussion suffered in Bergeron's career, with the last one prior to Tuesday's occurring in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Flyers.

Mike Petraglia contributed to this report.
NESN's Barry Pederson talked to Dennis & Callahan on Wednesday about the impact Jaromir Jagr could have on the Bruins, what he'll have to do to fit into the B's system, and Patrice Bergeron's situation after leaving Tuesday's game with an injury.
Pederson said he thinks Jagr will thrive in a supporting role, similar to the one he played in Philadelphia last year, not to mention in Pittsburgh when he first broke into the league.
"He's coming to a good team that he's just trying to make great," Pederson said. "He's probably a star, not a superstar. He's definitely a top-six forward, and I think the other thing it does for this team is it brings in competition. For the coach, he doesn't have to do a lot of yelling, or say a lot of things in the press. Just, 'OK you're not going on the top two lines, I've got another forward here, a Hall of Famer that wants to come in here and play.' "
Pederson played with Jagr on the Cup-winning 1990-91 Penguins team in Jagr's first season in the NHL. He said Jagr had his own "Euro fashion" off the ice, but that on the ice he exhibited the qualities that have kept him among the league's top players to this day.
"He came over with all kinds of raw talent," Pederson said. "You have to remember, on that team, with [Mario] Lemieux there, he was the guy that was kind of making all those eyes turn. But what I remember about [Jagr] the most at a young age was how gifted he was, lower body down. Similar to a Ray Bourque where you have those strong legs and that big butt, you couldn't knock him over. He had a great release. He'd go to those dirty areas and had a knack for getting in front and scoring big goals."
Despite Jagr causing some locker-room controversy in his earlier days, Pederson said he believes Jagr has matured into a veteran leader.
"I think you're going to be surprised as to what you're going to hear in the dressing room," Pederson said. "When you read all the accounts of Philadelphia '¦ they think they really missed his presence in the locker room. I think he's really matured as a person and i think that's really going to show here."

Percival and Roland Grey- Xin Kou, Shingou- Northern Villages
"The village of Xin Kou should be over this hill if I am reading this map right," Percival said as he looked up from his map purchased from the port town. It had been two days of traveling on horseback through the hilly countryside of Shingou. The Knights of Ekilore had kept quiet for most of the journey, with only Percival and Roland ocassionally arguing Ethorian politics to pass the time. "Well, it could be Xia Kou. My Shingouese is not very good to be honest," Percival joked, of which only Roland could roll his eyes to. Yoshuro had pointed Percival to the village of Xin Kou, saying it was closest to the relative location of the Necromancer's lair. Also, the village had experienced a recent surge of raids by the creations of the Necromancer, having been the victims of all sorts of unspeakable creations. Percival had spurned his horse to a gallop taking a more dramatic lead. In a few short moments, the Knights found themselves on the afoermentioned hill, overlooking the objective of their journey.
Sadly, Xin Kou was not as homely as Percival had hoped for. From the vantage point, Percival could see the ruins of a once peaceful rural village. Black clouds of smoke rose from the burnt rubble of small homes and huts. The surrounding farms drained from any life. The dirt roads that Percival followed to the center of village were soaked with blood. Bodies littered the streets. Some were of once living people, many clearly lacking the noble birth that Percival and Roland were blessed with. Others were of monsters. Things that Percival believed only lived in fairy tales. Progress had been replaced by ruins.
"Gods, what has happened here?" Roland muttered under his breath, as he pulled into the village, even his horse giving some resistance to enter.
"Something tells me I do not want to find out," Percival said to his brother, barely hearing his brother's remarks.
And something tells me we will find out anyway,
he thought to himself.
As Percival dismounted his stirring horse, he saw a small crowd of villagers with pale faces covered in blood, sweat and tears. They were barely armed, carrying rusty tools and weapons. If one could even consider a pitchwork a weapon. In a panic, they swarmed the arriving Knights, screaming in Shingouese with the occasional broken attempt at Ethorian. Roland reached for his sword, preparing to pull it from his sheath and cut down the first one of them daring enough to make the first move. Percival stepped in, motioning his brother to stay his blade.
"No reason to cut down scared villagers. I can try to translate with what little of their tongue I can understand. Perhaps I can learn what happened." With a breath, Percival did his best attempt to speak the strange language, his Ethorian accent that blended the Bludrock and Elysian accents butchering much of the Shingouese. The villagers laughed and smiled possibly for the first time in days, which allowed Percival to feel at ease. After several moments of conversation, Percival turned back to his peers.
"Well, we are in the right village. This is...or was Xin Kou. They have been fending off the 'monsters' of the Nercomancer for days now. An 'outsider' that supposedly looks like Roland and myself has been helping them fend them off the best she could."
"Hmm...interesting. She could be useful. Ask them where she is." Roland demanded, his eyes scanning over the area of the town, making sure nothing dangerous was around. Percival rolled his eyes at his brother's command. Each and every time Roland opened his mouth was another reminder of why Percival left to join House Welm. Percival asked where the outsider was rather easily. Basic questions were easy. Understanding the quickened response in the roused villagers was hard.
"Last they remember, she was in the northern part of the village. That was the last place to be heavily attacked. I think," Percival said with a slight shrug of his shoulders.
"We should probably seek her out there. It's obvious this...thing needs to be destro-"
Various cries and screams echoed in the gentle winds of Xin Kou. The words were difficult to understand, probably even for native speakers of Shingou but it was easy to know why. "The villagers are telling me there is another attack coming at the north gate. Let's go!" Percival sprinted forth, drawing his mace to his right hand and equipping his shield on his left. Roland followed swiftly behind, unsheathing his sword and putting on his helmet over his head. The north gate was a short sprint through the ruined village, the damages becoming even more disheartening with each step. It was abundantly clear the northern quarter had experienced the worst of the attacks.
Percival took a stand in the center of the gate, swallowing his nervousness. He was never fond of fighting but was capable enough. It was the mystery of what he was bound to encounter that unnerved him. The large wave of beasts came forth. And Percival's mouth gaped open as the creatures approached. Dark, hideous, hellish creatures marched forward. Undead humans slid their decaying feet across the ground, with all kinds of rotting flesh pouring onto the ground. Large imposing ghouls with sharp fangs dashed on all fours at the head of the pack, while skeletons of former warriors with rusty blades brought up the rear. Strange abominations with body parts of various creatures and monsters blended into the army. Seemingly leading this pack of creatures was a fat monstrosity with bloody fluids spewing all over the ground as he dragged his giant body around. With a roar of the vile beast, the entire army charged forward.

Police remove possible grenade from Vt shopping plaza
MORRISTOWN Vermont State Police explosives experts have been trying to determine whether a hand grenade found in the drive-thru lane of a Morrisville restaurant was real or a novelty item.
Morrisville police said they were called to the Morrisville Shopping Plaza at about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday after receiving the report about the grenade outside a McDonalds restaurant.
When officers arrived they determined it was a completely assembled grenade.
Police shut down parts of Route 15, evacuated the plaza and called in the state police bomb squad.
State police experts made the device safe and removed it. They said they would X-ray it to see if it was real.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Morrisville police at 888-4211.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Goalie Emily Bashara stopped 44 shots but the Green Knights still had a field day...

Deborah Berke, a practicing architect with a firm of over 60 employees and former adjunct Yale professor, has replaced the inimitable Robert "Bob" A.M. Stern as the dean of the Yale School of Architecture. Berke has ideas about how to shape the future of the school's pedagogy. In an interview with the CTPost, she lays out her vision, which is centered on advancing the "history of pluralism":

In terms of curriculum, her definition of pluralism will expand to include more emphasis on how architecture can respond to the impact of climate change and globalization, both of which she emphasizes as "rapid." For the student body, which is already about 50 percent female, and faculty, pluralism translates to broader diversity.

"Let's put it this way," she says, "the profession of architecture does not look like the population at large and I am going to work hard toward having the architects we train and the architects who teach be more reflective of the population at large."

Though I'd lived minimally my whole life, I have a husband and a grown daughter, and they do have stuff. We make dinner and have dinner parties and entertain a lot. But what's stayed the same is that the spaces are really spare. We pay attention to the art that's on the wall and the books that are in the room, something I picked up from my parents. How we're in a room alone and how we're in a room with friends and family both matter. In a way, I want the rooms to be perfect containers for life.

Deborah Berke, founder of Deborah Berke Partners in New York and architecture faculty member at Yale, has been named Dean of the Yale School of Architecture, to succeed current Dean Robert A.M. Stern effective July 1, 2016. She has taught at Yale for nearly thirty years, and began her now 60-person practice in 1982.

Berke's academic approach to architecture is enthusiastically interdisciplinary, encouraging students to "understand they are part of a larger cultural conversation." She plans to bring this collaborative focus to the deanship to develop stronger partnerships between the School of Architecture and other university disciplines. She will also be the first woman to serve as the school's Dean.

In her practice, Berke is known for a diversity of projects, ranging from preservation and adaptation of historic buildings, to large-scale urban landscape work, residential and commercial developments, cultural institutions, and recently, the corporate headquarters of Cummins in downtow...

Since Cummins Inc. appointed Deborah Berke Partners back in September, the company finally revealed DBP's design of their new global distribution business headquarters in downtown Indianapolis to the City of Indianapolis' Metropolitan Development Commission today. The Commission could vote on the plan as early as December 17.

Deborah Berke went against Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects and SHoP Architects for the development. The new distribution headquarters appears to have been receiving a very warm welcome from locals, as the project is considered a refreshing sight that can bring more architectural innovation into the city.

Located in a 4-acre plot in the Market East cultural district where the Market Square Arena previously stood, the plan includes a 10-story tower that will provide flexible office space, views, and natural light, a conference center, retail spaces, a parking garage, and an ample amount of public green space. The building is expected to break ground in early 2...

Cummins Inc. announced Tuesday morning that it has selected New York-based Deborah Berke Partners to design its global distribution headquarters in downtown Indianapolis.

Cummins Inc. has an important history of working with significant architects in Columbus, Indiana, the small Midwestern city where it is located. In selecting Deborah Berke Partners for its new global headquarters in downtown Indianapolis the company commits to fostering excellent design in the region, as well.

Cummins Inc. hasn't revealed even a back-of-the-napkin sketch of what its regional headquarters in Downtown Indianapolis might look like, but one thing is certain at this point: It won't be locally designed. The engine maker said today it's picked three small to mid-sized New York City architectural firms to compete for the contract to design the $30 million multi-story building [...]. The competitors are Deborah Berke Partners, SHoP Architects, and Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects.

Here's some additional information about the Indianapolis office design competition we've received directly from Cummins Inc.:

"The design competition engages design and architecture experts to assist in delivering on the Company's goals to construct a building that enhances the community, creates a productive workplace for Cummins employees and reflects Cummins' mission and values. [...]

The winning architect will be announced in September and selected based on a number of factors including their ability to align with Cummins values, deliver on the vision of the building, and assemble a diverse team. [...]

Cummins initially announced plans to build its new Indianapolis office in March of 2014. Cummins will build on approximately four acres that previously housed a portion of Market Square Arena and expects to break ground in early 2015 and open in late 2016. The company's plan for the site includes an office building with ground floor retail, a flexible learning center, public green s...

Tame Impala anything but at Turner Hall show
Kevin Parker's perfectionist tendencies went into overdrive on last year's "Lonerism," psychedelic band Tame Impala's sophomore full-length album. Besides insisting on playing nearly all the instruments in the studio, Parker mixed the album two times, flying from his native Australia to New York on both occasions, to get the details just to his liking.
Tame Impala didn't have the luxury of do-overs and fine tuning in its sold-out, 85-minute Turner Hall Ballroom set Sunday. And if Parker attempted to bring that obsessive craftsmanship to a live setting, he would run the risk of sabotaging the set's potential for spontaneity. »Read Full Article(1)
'Rep Lab' cooks up mixed batch of one-acts
In her curtain speech before Saturday night's sold-out performance of "Rep Lab," Sandy Ernst - who oversees the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's justly acclaimed intern program - made clear that the Rep simply couldn't stage its shows without each year's crop of two dozen interns.
But even as we routinely note these interns' presence - in smaller roles, as extras and in program credits, where they are listed as understudies and assistants - we rarely get to really see what they can do. Now in its third year, "Rep Lab" - short plays showcasing intern actors, directors, choreographers and designers - lets us appreciate how good they can be. »Read Full Article

Culinary Quiz: How Well Would You Fare at Worst Cooks Boot Camp?by Maria Russo in Shows, February 16th, 2013
In this all-new eight season of Worst Cooks in America, 14 recruits have signed up for Boot Camp, where Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence will work to transform them into capable, confident cooks who can turn out winning meals with ease. But before anyone can be crowned the best of the worst of the kitchen, they'll have to endure seven weeks of hands-on training covering even the most elementary culinary know-how.
For many watching the competition unfold at home, it's easy to think that you'd fare far better than the recruits if tested with the same challenges of Boot Camp. But would you really succeed where others have fallen? FN Dish is giving you the opportunity to assess your critical culinary thinking and the extent of your cooking chops. Take the quiz below to find out how well you'd manage in the kitchen with Anne and Rachael.

Determined Planners Pledge DC -11/11/11 "Gathering of the Church" to Go On Despite Funding Setbacks.
June 30th Trigger Date for Progress Reports Arrives. Participating Churches are Asked to Report How Many Will be Attending Washington, DC 11/11/11 Event to One Church // One Voice to Aid Site Planning, Marshalls, and Police Staffing Requirements.
Each and every time, the staff have returned to the operational offices with sale advertisements, satellite TV brochures, water company cutomer relations pamphlets, and pipeline information from the local oil refinery- -but no donations, from anywhere in the world, for the IRS code 501C3 qualified non-profit organization.
One Church // One Voice founder Robert Berry recalls that he, early in the process of planning the Gathering of the Church, said he felt like he was "a voice calling in the wilderness."
But the group is going ahead with plans for the Global Gathering of the Church, "Because God is in charge, and I believe that there is a way this will be accomplished, for the glory of God. It is God who wants to see His people tear down the walls between themselves and come togther in His Son's purpose and will. Many people have received a divine message to gather the church on 11/11/11, and The Lord has something planned for us, at that time, What it will be, I do not know, but I do know that the gathered faithful of the Lord will receive manifold blessings from coming together, in a non-sectarian, non- denominational way, with Christ in the center, to worship, hear the preaching of the word of God, and pray in unity for the fallen world, the collected church, and our respective nations. I also know that it will not make Satan happy!"
The One Church // One Voice group says they will now have to use their voice in a media based campaign, to blitz the world's airwaves with information regarding the Global Gathering of the Church. "We have to take this to Christian radio and both mainstream secular as well as Christian television. We have to advertize effectively. We have to ask everyone involved to spread the word to the maximum extent possible, especially via broadcast media. We also invite all Christian servicepersons stationed in the vicinity of our nation's capitol to attend the Veterans' day event, and be prayed over by the collected church, as well as pray and worship with us." The organization will host the event from 11 am to 9 pm on November 11th, with a two hour site clean-up to follow. Christians from around the world and from all different denominations and branches of our Church have been invited to this event, including one-hundred and sixteen Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland vicinity churches who were asked to act as host churches.
The organization also emphasized that they are open to Christian corporate sponsorship, or a Christian benefactor who may wish to fund the Global Gathering of the Church.
As a reminder to those churches whom are participating, the June 30th trigger date for progress reports has passed. Progress reports, which may be emailed to onechurch.onevoice@
1. Name of Church.
2. Contact email address, telephone number.
3.Type of participation(
4. Number of persons who are going to attend 11/11/11 Global Gathering of the Church, in Washington, DC, on November 11th, 2011.
Also, One Church // One Voice staff requests you let them know if you have a church bus that can participate in a bus bridge, from the local airports to the National Mall, to help bring pilgrims to the event.
The 11/11/11 gathering still has worship performance and preaching/prayer-
Persons wishing to do so may still mail donations to One Church // One Voice, PO Box 1095, Martinez, CA 94553-1095.
PayPal donations may be made using PayPal email onechurch.onevoice@
A portion of the receipts from Christian Author Robert Berry's sales of "Ephus and the Praying Bushel" will go to event preparation costs. The book is currently available through crossbooks.com, and being reordered by amazon.com.

One Church // One Voice is a Christian non-profit organization, formed to organize and coordinate the gathering of Christians from all around the World in Washington, DC on November 11, 2011, or 11/11/11. Our vision is to tear down the walls between us.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
If banal remarks like "funny weather we've been having" fail to impress, there's a new truism in town: "Stem cells are a popular topic these days." Human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research has dominated bioethics discussions for the past two decades, but the underlying science has been making people uncomfortable for much longer.
It all started with in vitro fertilization (IVF), developed in the late 1970s by Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards. There were fears of deformed babies, "playing God," and the prospect of unrelenting failure. But research continued, even as funding requests were rejected by U.K.'s Medical Research Council. The failures continued for several years—ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages, and premature births—but eventually there was a success, followed by another, and another, until the number of successes totaled some four million babies born with IVF.
The controversy never ceased, but new developments took the forefront: The growing supply of leftover embryos from IVF was being considered for research instead of destruction. In response, the 1996 Dickey-Wicker amendment was passed, banning federal funding for research involving the destruction of embryos. Two years later, Dr. James Thomson managed to create the first hESC line with funding from Geron. It was a landmark discovery, both scientifically and politically, and it circumvented the funding restriction by separating the embryo-destroying step from hESC research. George W. Bush's executive order in 2001 reestablished those limitations, and President Obama's executive order removed them, but the amendment still remains, and continued lawsuits and appeals threaten public funding for hESC research.
The case in Europe isn't any better. Last year an EU judgment disallowed patenting of products based on embryo-destroying research. Like Dickey-Wicker, there's a technology to circumvent it: Advanced Cell Technologies has announced that their nondestructive "single-blastomere" hESC line method doesn't fall under this definition. Of course, it's an arbitrary distinction—it leaves behind a viable embryo, but what are the odds that it will see a fate different from all the other excess IVF embryos?
France, in its 2011 bioethics law, allows hESC lines derived from IVF but bans implantation of research embryos; while ACT may not be subject to such laws it also would be unlikely to find a willing surrogate. Even Senomyx received criticism for using HEK cell lines to express flavor receptors for food additive testing; the cell line is derived from tissue excised from an aborted fetus over 30 years ago. ACT's nondestructive hESC method may be a breakthrough, but to their opponents it will likely seem like more of the same.
Scientific progress is inherently disruptive: In the process of revising our understanding of the world and the way we live in that world, the status quo must be altered. Many experiments evoke everything from fear (black holes stemming from the Large Hadron Collider) to disgust (hybrid chimaeras and genetically engineered organisms).
Stem cell research has already demonstrated that hESCs are extremely useful as a reference by which other cells can be judged—comparisons between induced pluripotent stem cells and hESCs help identify the changes that take place during induction of pluripotence. Also, the "aging" via DNA methylation in immortal hESC lines serves as a useful point of inquiry, identifying some of the changes that affect even immortal cells over several generations of cell culture. Alternative sources of cells—amniotic, adult, and induced pluripotent—are able to supplement, not supersede them.
There are few hESC products today; after Geron's departure, only ACT's clinical trial remains. However, the continuing use of hESCs even in light of shaky funding and perennial legal threats is testament to their value as indispensable research tools. The roadblocks to research are quick to appear and slow to dissipate, but they are inevitably overcome. Though some segments of the public will never come to terms with IVF, the tireless efforts of a physiologist and an obstetrician helped IVF bloom into a solution for millions of infertile couples. Facing a similar landscape, stem cell research has its roots tapped into the same reservoir of scientific curiosity and hope. We might yet see the field blossom into replacement organs, diagnostics, and cures.
Just one thing: Deep roots or not, plants usually grow faster with a little water and sunlight.

Authorities say they believe a rabid fox that infected three people near Darton College last week is now dead.
The Albany Herald reports that no carcass has been found, but health officials say animals with full-blown rabies typically don't live more than a few days.
Carolyn Maschke of the Southwest Georgia Public Health District, said officials believe the rabies exposure was limited to the three people. She said they are now undergoing treatments for rabies.

Spires and towers pierce the sky of Paris in every quartier. You may know that they're attached to the famous and historical churches and cathedrals that are scattered throughout the city. But, you may not know that, besides their spiritual significance, the historic churches of Paris are one of the most-loved venues for classical music.
The Insiders way to visit Paris churches and cathedrals is to attend a concert at one of them! And it's easy to buy tickets online…
The oldest church is found in the quartier of St Germain des Prés, or St Germain of the Fields, so named because, at the time, the church was well beyond the walls of the city. A church of that name has been on the same site since the mid-6th century. During the French Revolution (remember that?) the churches were secularized and used for meeting places or even warehouses. Napoleon (remember him?) re-established the churches and cathedrals to religious use and restored, with a few exceptions such as The Panthéon, which has remained a secular shrine to great men (and a couple of women) of France.
One of the great churches of the world, Notre Dame Paris dates back to 1160 when Bishop de Sully began construction on the "Parisian church of the kings of Europe".
Two hundred years and a half-dozen architects later, the cathedral as we know it today was completed. The flying buttresses and gargoyles are familiar to millions of visitors. Learn all about this magnificent cathedral, the best times to visit, how to beat the line-ups and how to attend a concert.
La Sainte-Chapelle, or The Holy Chapel, is on Ile de la Cité and was built in the courtyard of the Royal Palace by Louis IX.
Completed in a relatively short period, construction started in 1240 and finished in 1248. Inside, the church appears weightless and airy, and is one of the most amazing examples of Gothic architecture. The stained glass walls are among the most magnificent anywhere in the world.
La Sainte-Chapelle is also our readers' favourite venue for classical music in Paris. We'll tell you more about this stunning church and how to reserve your seats for a concert.
L'Église de la Madeleine owes its existence to some of France's last kings and also its first emperor.
In the end it was Napoleon who decreed that a memorial to the Grand Army would be built on the place at the top of Rue Royale, modeled on Greek temples of antiquity.
The history of La Madeleine was by no means straight-forward after that! It took years and upheavals to complete. Today, as well as a church, it's a favoured venue for classical music.
The newest church on this list, Basilique du Sacré-Cœur was completed in 1914 and has become one of the best known Paris churches due to its prominent location and brilliant white color.
There's no better view of Paris than from atop the steps of Sacre-Coeur. In fact, because it's built on the hill of Montmartre, it's the highest point in Paris (higher than the Eiffel Tower).
There are other fascinating historic churches in Paris — many of them from the Gothic era of architecture, and some of those hosting classical music concerts on a regular basis.
We've already mentioned the oldest church in this list, St Germain des Prés, and that may be familiar to you. But there's also Saint Ephrem, Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre, and Église Saint-Sulpice with its two mismatched towers and its magnificent fountain.

Two other passengers were hurt in the crash.
The crash happened at around 3 p.m. when Janice Smith, of Warm Springs, was driving east on the McKenzie River Highway with a woman and four children inside her car.
State Police Lieutenant Steve Mitchell said Smith veered onto the road's shoulder, over-corrected the wheel, crossed into oncoming traffic and crashed into a rock embankment near Vida.
Smith, her female passenger and one of the children were taken to Sacred Heart at Riverbend with serious injuries. Another child was flown to OHSU by air ambulance.
The two other children in the crash received some minor injuries, Lt. Mitchell said.
The crash caused long delays for drivers in the area, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation. | Traffic updates

I am on the volleyball team. I love my team!
I play golf and some of the things provided are to be desired, such as golf bags. We are mainly very spirited especially when it comes to baseball and softball.
The athletics at my school are subpar. I think the coaches have a lot to do with it, some of the coaches just don't do the best jobs, but then again our athletes are not exactly phenomenal. The fan support is almost laughable, we have some school spirit but nothing compared to what my high school was like. Since it's a small Christian college, no one really goes there with intentions of playing professional sports so the sports aren't taken as seriously as you would think for a college level athlete.
The campus is very supportive in sports and clubs. They recommend getting involved on campus as much as possible.
I personally am not an athlete here, but I have many friends who are. They seem satisfied with the programs. Our facilities are some of the best in the area, which is shown by the Colt's team using them to practice in the summer.

I am a PolyAmorous straight male in a legal married relationship with a Bi PolyAmorous female 7 years my senior, we've been married for 28 years. Many times we've seached for the perfect 'third' for us... but given up when we came up empty. We decided to finally try several dating and relationship sites to see where they might lead... hopefully to that special someone we've been looking for so long.
She had 2 children from a previous marriage, grown and gone.. and I have none. Children are not a deciding issue, a consideration and I think sometimes about the what ifs, buta willingness to bear a child is not what I/we will base a relationship on or about. My wife is not desirous of any additional relationships outside of what was outlined above beyond friendships and seeing me enjoy full relationships beyond (no this not mean she wants to 'watch'), but each others happiness is paramount to both of us. So I am interested in outside relationships as long as it is understood I am not leaving my wife, and I am not looking for a new one... other than the above search and only in that context.
I am Flirtatious, Strong, and Honest
Music.. most anything but Rap and Hip Hop
Food is a weakness.. I enjoy most all types and will try most anything. I enjoy cooking myself and have been told I'm quite good at it.

Indians near deal with RHP Matsuzaka
CLEVELAND -- With at least one spot open in his rotation, new Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona will give a pitcher he knows well a shot to win a starting job.
Japanese right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka has agreed to a minor league contract with Cleveland. Matsuzaka, who pitched for Francona with the Boston Red Sox, must pass a physical for the deal to be finalized.
The Indians' pitchers and catchers reported to camp Sunday in Goodyear, Ariz., with physicals scheduled to take place today.
Matsuzaka, 32, has won 50 major league games since signing a $52 million, six-year contract with Boston as a free agent in 2007. Dice-K went 33-15 with a 3.72 earned-run average in 61 starts for Boston in 2007-08. However, he has been limited to 18 starts and 83 innings the past two seasons after right elbow surgery in 2011.
Justin Masterson, Ubaldo Jimenez and Brett Myers are the only pitchers with guaranteed spots in Cleveland's rotation. Zach McAllister comes to camp favored to win the No. 4 spot, leaving Matsuzaka in a group with Scott Kazmir, Trevor Bauer, Carlos Carrasco, Corey Kluber and David Huff fighting it out this spring.
Matsuzaka pitched in Japan from 1999-2006, going 108-60 with a 2.95 ERA for the Seibu Lions. The Red Sox won a bidding war over several teams to sign him and he went 15-12 in 32 starts in his first season in the AL.
He was dominant in 2008, going 18-3 with a 2.90 ERA and recording 154 strikeouts in 1672/3 innings. He finished fourth in voting for the Cy Young Award.
But Matsuzaka's numbers have dropped alarmingly in the past four years. He has gone 17-22 with a 5.53 ERA and underwent elbow ligament replacement surgery in June 2011. He began last year in the minors before joining the Red Sox and going 1-7 with an 8.28 in 11 starts.
The Indians' preliminary agreement with Matsuzaka comes one day after the club signed slugger Jason Giambi, 42, to a minor league deal.
Giambi could fill a hole at designated hitter for Francona, who has said he's willing to use several players in that role. Giambi spent the past three-plus seasons as a part-time player for Colorado.
A five-time All-Star and former AL MVP, Giambi has 429 career homers -- but just one in 89 at-bats for the Rockies last season.

Liberia Conquers Ebola, but Faces a Crisis of Faith
NY Times - Now, it is officially over. The Ebola outbreak has ended in Liberia, the World Health Organization announced Saturday, an enormous milestone that seemed impossibly far off last year when dead bodies blocked roads and the sick prayed for ambulances that never came.
Deasprately, the country is trying to rebuild just about everything, from its health and education systems to its economy and international image.
But in the dim hall of the United God Is Our Light Church, its generator turned off to shave costs, the congregation has been trying to repair something more fundamental: its spirit.
The large circle of plastic chairs inevitably drew attention to the low attendance at Friday morning prayer, a monthly gathering intended to bring together a church torn asunder by Ebola. Three, four, sometimes half a dozen empty seats separated the attendees from one another.
Like many people here, church leaders often denied that Ebola, a disease new to West Africa, was real. At an emergency meeting last July, the Liberia Council of Churches, the country's main group for Christians, described Ebola as divine punishment for acts of homosexuality and government corruption.

By international standards, Americans are poorly educated. Their ignorance extends beyond the oft-reported low math, science and social science scores achieved by high school students (See, for example). Adult Americans know relatively little about their own political system or other cultures (see, for example).
They know even less about scientific cosmology or evolutionary biology (See, for example). In personal matters, where one might think Americans would know more, they are equally hapless. Americans are laughingly ignorant of their own sexuality (See, for example).
A comedy series could feature Americans' responses to more complicated questions, such as "Which factors predict a successful relationship?" or "What is the best predictor of your child's social-economic status"?
Given that only Italians--90% of whom call themselves "Catholic"-- are more ignorant than Americans, it could be persuasively argued that a religious Weltanshauung is a primary "cause" of ignorance. If a human assumes that the universe was created by an omnipotent and omniscient god, and that god still intervenes in human daily life, then that human has donned blinders to real knowledge. Why read, why learn, when you have the Bible, the word of god?
Egypt without God? Atheists collect signatures to form a secular party
A Gallup Institute study in 2012 said 30 percent of Egyptians are atheists. (AFP/File)
According to Al-Watan newspaper, Egyptian atheists have launched a campaign on Facebook to collect signatures for a party that they would call the "Egyptian Secular Party," which would include secularists, atheists and liberal thinkers. It would also be committed to defend freedom of belief and atheism, and work on removing Egypt's Islamic identity from the Constitution.
Co-founder, Mahmoud Awad told Al-Watan that there are four kinds of atheists in Egypt. "There are those who believe in the existence of God but not in religion, the agnostics who only doubt the existence of God, the indifferent ones who do not care to know if there is a God or not, and those who neither believe in God nor in religion," he explained.
Hisham Auf, the representative of the founders, said they aim to collect 5,000 signatures from 10 different governorates to submit an application to the Political Parties Affairs Committee.
Media freedom in Europe needs action more than words
This article is part of a series on the state of media freedom across the globe, ahead of World Press Freedom Day published by Index on Censorship
By Paco Audije / 1 May, 2015
As we approach World Press Freedom Day, the right to freedom of expression will again be celebrated as an inalienable European value across the continent — by the public, the media and politicians alike. But to many, this will mean little more than engaging in a well trodden mental routine. We hardly consider the difficulties that freedom of expression faces in practice.
In the first part of 2015, more than a third of journalist killings in the word took place in two European countries; France and Ukraine. If it is true that Europe's reactions to the Charlie Hebdo attack — the majority of them very emotional — were salubrious, they simultaneously gave rise to ambiguous situations. Many of the leaders that will on 3 May reaffirm their commitment free expression, supported the same message by taking part in the historic march in Paris on 11 January.
Why the Future of Religion Is Bleak
By DANIEL C. DENNETT - April 26, 2015 / published by WSJ
Religion has been waning in influence for several centuries, especially in Europe and North America. There have been a few brief and local revivals, but in recent years the pace of decline has accelerated.
Today one of the largest categories of religious affiliation in the world—with more than a billion people—is no religion at all, the "Nones." One out of six Americans is already a None; by 2050, the figure will be one out of four, according to a new Pew Research Center study. Churches are being closed by the hundreds, deconsecrated and rehabilitated as housing, offices, restaurants and the like, or just abandoned.
If this trend continues, religion largely will evaporate, at least in the West. Pockets of intense religious activity may continue, made up of people who will be more sharply differentiated from most of society in attitudes and customs, a likely source of growing tension and conflict.
Islam finds a place in Germany's classrooms
Germany is beginning to grant Muslims the sort of entitlements given to Christians and Jews, including having their religion taught in schools and universities – something that could be key for fighting radical Islam.
According to Yahoo News, a half hour away from the shimmering banks of the Main river, Timur Kumlu has just read 20-odd second-graders a chapter from the Quran, about Abraham looking for Allah, but finding him neither in the sun, the wind, nor the moon.
Who is Abraham? One boy with piercing dark eyes jumps in. "He trusted Allah!"

Stephane Belmondo
Stephane Belmondo : The Same As It Never Was Before
It's been a long time since we heard Stephane Belmondo play like this. It might even be the first time. Of course, there was the wonderful Wonderland in 2004, his first album as a leader, but that tribute to Stevie Wonder, one of his many idols, showed only one side of the trumpeter's talent. There have been rumours that Stephane Belmondo is something of a monolith among musicians; on the contrary, he is no such thing. His connections are multiple, his inspiration varied, and his references go far beyond the boundaries between genres, all to the advantage of a single, generous notion: Music. So, The Same As It Never Was Before marks a turning-point: it allows us to hear Stephane Belmondo the way he sees himself today, after several decades of adventures in music that have documented his involvement in a considerable number of projects in a very wide range of styles.Read more

Brooke Shields may have left New Jersey behind when she graduated with honors from that state's Princeton University in 1987, but the Garden State still has a place for her in its heart.
New Jersey's acting governor, Richard J. Codey, has stepped forward to support the actress in her war of words with Tom Cruise over her use of prescription drugs to treat postpartum depression.
"Tom Cruise knows as much about postpartum depression as I do about acting," said the politico, whose wife, Mary Jo Codey, has struggled with the illness. "He should stick to acting and not talk about women who need help."
In a much-discussed outburst a week ago on the Today show, Cruise, 43,
declared that there was no such thing as chemical imbalances that need to be
corrected with drugs, and that depression could be treated with exercise and
Shields, 40, reacted a week later, writing in a 715-word op-ed piece in The New York Times that Cruise's personal opinions did "a disservice to mothers everywhere."
In her own case, Mary Jo Codey, a 49-year-old kindergarten teacher, has openly discussed her struggles with postpartum depression, saying she was first diagnosed with the condition 28 years ago.
So closeted was Codey with her illness, she said that she felt forced to drive to a pharmacy four towns away from her home in order to fill a prescription for antidepressants. She also "wore dark sunglasses and prayed really hard to God that no one would see me."
In a nod to others who might feel similar shame for their feelings and behavior, Shields wrote in her Times essay: "If any good can come of Mr. Cruise's ridiculous rant, let's hope that it gives much-needed attention to a serious disease."
