Happy Thursday Music Boxers,
In the erotic thriller Stranger By The Lake, two men become become the primary suspects in a mysterious death. They choose to ignore the dangers and instead continue to engage in their passionate and potentially lethal relationship, testing the lengths and limits of sexual desire. The Wrap calls it, "The kind of taut, low-key thriller that Roman Polanski and Alfred Hitchcock would very much admire".
The Last Of The Unjust, documentarian Claude Lanzmann's follow-up to the essential Shoah, revisits a 1975 interview with Benjamin Murmelstein, the Viennese rabbi who worked with Adolf Eichmann to arrange for the emigration of 120,000 Jews, an ethically thorny collaboration which saved many lives – and landed Murmelstein in prison. This riveting exploration of contested history is currently rated 100% Fresh! on RottenTomatoes.
Black Out, the newest release from Music Box Films, is an audacious crime thriller laced with colorful lowlifes, tough femme fatales, corrupt cops, and outbursts of extreme violence. Helmed by Dutch director Arne Toonen, Black Out is a film full of brash style, visual panache and edge-of-your-seat excitement.
Our classic matinee this weekend is Unfaithfully Yours, Preston Sturges' uproarious parody of film noir. Rex Harrison stars as a jealous orchestra conductor envisioning plots to murder his supposedly unfaithful wife, but of course, nothing goes according to plan!

Stranger by the Lake
A film by Alain Guiraudie starring Pierre Deladonchamps, Christophe Paou, Patrick d'Assumcao
Frank spends his summer days hopelessly searching for companionship at a popular cruising spot on the shores of a lake in rural France.
One day, he meets Michel, an attractive yet darkly mysterious man and falls blindly in love. When a death occurs, Frank and Michel become the primary suspects but they choose to ignore the dangers and instead continue to engage in their passionate and potentially lethal relationship. Stranger by the Lake is an erotic thriller that tests the lengths and limits of sexual desire.
The Last of the Unjust
A film by Claude Lanzmann starring Benjamin Murmelstein, Claude Lanzmann
In this riveting exploration of contested history, the inexhaustible Holocaust documentarian Claude Lanzmann (Shoah) revisits a 1975 interview with Benjamin Murmelstein, the Viennese rabbi who worked with Adolf Eichmann to arrange for the emigration of 120,000 Jews, an ethically thorny collaboration which saved many lives – and landed Murmelstein in prison.
With Shoah, Director Lanzmann (87 and still going strong) re-oriented our understanding of the defining event of the 20th century. Three decades after that cinematic milestone, he does so once again, from an entirely new personal, historical, and aesthetic perspective.
Black Out
A film by Arne Toonen starring Raymond Thiry, Kim van Kooten, Bas Keijzer
Black Out is an audacious crime thriller laced with colorful lowlifes, tough femme fatales, corrupt cops, and outbursts of extreme violence. Helmed by Dutch director Arne Toonen, Black Out is a film full of brash style, visual panache and edge-of-your-seat excitement.
On the day before his wedding, retired criminal Jos wakes up next to a murdered man with no recollection of what happened the night before. He soon discovers that a group of gangsters has pinned him as the long suspect in the theft of 20 kilos of coke. He's got to get it back in 24 hours, or the life of his bride will be in serious danger. Now he has no choice but to creep back into his dangerous old world of petty thieves and drug dealers – all before his wedding the next day.
Unfaithfully Yours
A film by Preston Sturges starring Rex Harrison, Linda Darnell
As film noir swept over late '40s Hollywood, Preston Sturges created the full-length first parody of the style with this mordantly hilarious tale of a jealous orchestra conductor (Rex Harrison) envisioning plots to murder his supposedly unfaithful wife (Linda Darnell). When he attempts to put his murderous fantasies into action, nothing works out quite as planned. A brilliantly performed mixture of razor-sharp dialogue and uproarious slapstick, this is a true classic from a grand master of screen comedy.
The Great Beauty
A film by Paolo Sorrentino starring Toni Servillo, Carlo Verdone, Sabrina Ferilli
Rome, Italy, lush, timeless, opulent, and home to journalist Jep Gambardella (Toni Servillo of Il divo and Gomorrah). Since the early success of his one and only novel decades ago, Jep has been a permanent fixture in the city's literary and social circles and has thoroughly enjoyed every pleasure Rome has to offer.
But as his sixty-fifth birthday comes and goes, Jep finds himself beginning to take stock of his life; looking past the extravagant nightclubs, parties, and cafes to see himself and Rome in a new light. Called "A Technicolor La Dolce Vita for the Berlusconi era," The Great Beauty is a sensuous epic, a breathtaking feast for the senses and a compelling introspective journey into the life and mind of a man and the eternal city.

Steve Jobs an ebooks doubter Eddy Cue tells iBooks price fix court
Apple's Steve Jobs had to be convinced of the potential for ebooks on the iPad, Eddy Cue has revealed, describing how he needed to petition for iBooks support during testimony at the ebook price fixing trial this week. Cue first pitched a digital bookstore in 2009, Cue told the court, AllThingsD reports, but Jobs "wasn't interested" as at the time the iPad was yet to be launched. However, after revisiting the idea on the iPad, Jobs gave Cue's team less than three months to get the iBookstore ready for public demo at the first launch event.

- Zone B Parking Permits CORRECTION -- PBOT's application for Zone B parking permits incorrectly lists a Guest Permit request. The Zone B Guest Permit program has been cancelled, and any money paid for a guest permit in 2016-2017 will be refunded.
- Protecting Goose Hollow Views -- Presentation made to Portland Planning Bureau on March 3, 2016 highlighting reasons for continuing to protect views both to and from the Vista Bridge in the CC2035 Plan. Related links:
- Active/Proposed Construction Projects (here)
- Our Future -- The GHFL is participating in the West Quadrant Plan (Dec. 2014 DRAFT) to ensure that it in line with the principals of our Vision Plan completed 2013. The GHFL also has a seat on the Lincoln High School Master Planning Committee to help influence what the new school campus will have and look like.
- Sign Caps -- Goose Hollow has now completed the largest sign cap installation in the city's history, which complements the banner project completed 2010.
- Goose Hollow IN THE NEWS -- The Goose Hollow neighborhood has appeared in several international publications, including The Guardian and Mental Floss.
The Goose Hollow Foothills League Neighborhood Association, established in the 1970s, is host to four historic residential communities -- King's Hill, Gander Ridge, Vista Ridge, and The Hollow (the lower elevations) -- which are now collectively called Goose Hollow. (map) A hundred years earlier, however, the name "Goose Hollow" applied pejoratively to only the lower elevations around the path of Tanner Creek that was the primary residence for a substantial goose population and to Chinese vegetable farmers. A century ago, this creek was buried and the Tanner Creek Gulch infilled to form the basin of the bowl that is now modern-day Goose Hollow, an area that not only refers to the flats but also the adjacent heights (King's Hill, Vista Ridge, Gander Ridge) and Canyons (Tanner Creek Canyon, Cable Car Canyon).
The four areas that comprise Goose Hollow each have their own separate character. The lower elevations (The Hollow) of Goose Hollow have an area of older brick apartment houses and condos mixed together with historic Queen Anne vernacular cottages as well as commercial and light industrial spaces. The northern end of The Hollow was intermittently (c. 1910s-1970s) called the the Lownsdale District in honor of Goose Hollow's first resident, though that name was never historically significant. The Goose Hollow area called King's Hill once hosted the residences of Portland's turn of the century wealthier merchants, now partly infilled with higher density apartments and offices. Goose Hollow's Gander Ridge and Vista Ridge areas are at the east and west foot, respectively, of Portland Heights and at the south edge of Goose Hollow's bowl.

Move Over, Sam
On Monday, President Obama signed HR 2908 into law, making the American Bison the National Mammal of the USA! (Bison bison bison and bison bison athabascae, as The New Yorker explains in its coverage.) At least some of the credit should go to the Vote Bison and Beards For Bison campaigns and affiliates.

Buffalo Marathon: An Unlikely Duo
"The average monthly income in Ethiopia is about $300-$400, less after taxes. She is running to take $4,000 home. You do the math. All I am going to take home are some sore legs, a cheesy medal, and a fierce hangover from partying with my brothers. I got nothing to lose so I let it all hang out. We don't speak the same language, but running is universal, like music."
Discord at the Buffalo Philharmonic
"As principal oboe, your lack of musicality is shocking and destructive to our orchestra" The Buffalo Philharmonic fired principle oboist Pierre Roy in 2012. He filed a petition with the State Supreme Court, and the case has moved on to federal court. The Buffalo News covers the suit, and the fights within the woodwinds section. [more inside]
The Governor of New York Owes an Apology to a Bunch of Meteorologists
The Governor of New York Owes an Apology to a Bunch of Meteorologists Governor Cuomo's attempt to scapegoat the National Weather Service for an inaccurate forecast in advance is not only completely in error–the NWS did an outstanding job–but is a disservice to the public and to the hard-working staff of this federal agency.
Oh the weather outside is frightful
Winter doesn't start for another 33 days but today all 50 US states posted temperatures below freezing - yes, even Hawaii - and three feet of snow fell overnight south of Buffalo with no signs of stopping (and it looks like a snow haboob).
It seems this genet is making a habit of riding large herbivores.
A genet in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park in South Africa has been photographed by camera traps for several weeks running, riding around on the backs of cape buffalo and rhinoceros . Researchers agree: this is weird! (via.) [more inside]
"Count me in with Buffalo"
Ralph Wilson, owner of the Buffalo Bills since 1959, has passed away at the age of 95. Wilson was the last of the eight AFL team owners known as the "Foolish Club," and is notable for his continued support of other small market teams, including voting against moving the Cleveland Browns in 1995 (one of only two to do so), and subsequently hosting a Browns Day in Buffalo. He saved the Oakland Raiders from bankruptcy, and insisted that the AFL postpone their games the day after JFK's assassination. As positive memories were shared on twitter from around the league, Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, NY, has left a light on in his honor.

Fight For Your Right To Octobong
It was never pretty. On Sunday afternoons, you'd walk through the parking lot and swear you could hear the sound of human evolution giving up: "Screw it. I've done all I can for you people." Bottles were hurled. Flaming debris spilled from garbage cans. Men (and at least one woman—I will always remember this woman) used porta-potties by peeing against them, not inside them. It was the kind of bleak dystopian hellscape that would have made the guy in Mad Max feel better about his situation. A Canadian journalist's take on the American tradition of tailgating.
Buffalo politics--They shoot buffalo don't they?
Tradegy of the Buffalo Commons Everything you know about buffalo is wrong. They're bison. But most aren't completely bison. They don't play a significant role in transmitting brucellosis. Bison are political. Which makes better sense management or culling the small, but genetically endangered, pure herd? Bison is actually better for you! [more inside]

For the thirteenth year in a row, the Buffalo Bills have failed to make the playoffs, a new league record. The tallest building downtown is losing its major tenant. People seem to drive into the sides of buildings a lot. Yet Buffalo was named as the second "Merriest" city in the United States.

Chicken Wings
Buffalo chicken wings were invented by Teressa Bellissimo at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York in 1964. Americans will eat 25 billion of them this year - not a few of them at the 10th annual National Buffalo Wing Festival. Some people eat nothing else. Alton Brown steams his.

His camera became a political voice for the forgotten ones.
"All my life I've focused on the poor. The rich ones have their own photographers."Social documentary photographer Milton Rogovin's 'life was about seeing. In the literal sense, he was an optometrist. In a more figurative sense, through the lens of his camera, he saw things and people that were often ignored — the poor, the oppressed, the "forgotten ones," as he called them.' "A librarian in Buffalo's Communist Party, he was called before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1957, and was named "Buffalo's Top Red" in the Buffalo Evening News. Losing business and facing intense social persecution, Rogovin turned to photography in order to create images that conveyed his desire for a more equal and just society, and to give voice to others who were persecuted, who were invisible to most." Mr. Rogovin died on January 18th at his home in Buffalo at the age of 101. Previously on Metafilter [more inside]

The Lackawanna Cut-Off
A glance will show / Why Phoebe Snow / Prefers this route / To Buffalo.
And Phoebe's right / No route is quite / As short as Road / of Anthracite.
In 1908 the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad began work on the New Jersey Cut-Off to make its New York to Buffalo mainline (the Road of Anthracite so liked by Phoebe Snow) even shorter and faster. It was to have no grade crossings, and was to be as straight and level as possible — through hilly terrain. The 28-mile Lackawanna Cut-Off, as it is now known, was built over three years, cost $11 million, and was an engineering marvel of massive reinforced concrete bridges, enormous cuts, and the largest railroad embankment in the world. All of this has been abandoned for years, though there are plans afoot to restore the Cut-Off for commuter rail. [more inside]

Feuding movie directors: Movie-goers WIN?
Sometimes a simple Amazon reader's review leads you to a fascinating story (or stories) of which you may have been previously unaware. In this case, the story of (the so-called) Buffalo Soldiers that liberated Tuscany in WWII. The novel Miracle at St. Anna also captivated director Spike Lee, who is bringing it to the Big Screen (Higher quality at apple.com). This may be considered his latest shot in the "feud" with director Clint Eastwood, who offended many by overlooking the contributions of black soldiers in his two recent WWII films.
A forgotten gem of the rust belt
The Buffalo State Hospital is a vast complex of moldering Victorian buildings, sitting right in the middle of a residential neighborhood of Buffalo. It is also an architectural gem, not only by Buffalo standards, but for the nation as a whole. It is one of the largest and most complex commissions of New England architect H. H. Richardson, who is known for promulgating his unique, heavy looking stone Romanesque variant of the then dominant Queen Anne style. The Buffalo asylum's grounds were planned by landscape architect (and designer of Central Park) Fredrick Law Olmsted. [more inside]

This candy is sciencetastic!
My coworker from Buffalo NY brought in a bunch of sponge candy from back home and I was just about the only one who liked it. You can also make the stuff at home. Well someone can. Apparently it can only be made in winter, on account of the temperature needing to be just right for the crunchy center to set. Don't let the hot wings steal your glory, sponge candy! Which are also available, rendered in chocolate from the same site.
Buffalo, etc.
RIP, Cody the Buffalo
Cody the Buffalo has passed away at the age of 19. In addition to being in "Dances with Wolves" with Kevin Costner, Cody was also in the film "Radio Flyer." He also appeared in several commercials, and even appeared with Jay Leno. Last spring, he traveled to the U.S. Mint in Washington, D.C., to participate in the unveiling of a new buffalo-head nickel.
Beefalo, the other red meat
Beefalo is a feritle hybrid of cattle and buffalo (bison bison). It's story cannot be told without mentioning the irascible "Buffalo" Jones, the man who helped save the American buffalo and tried to cross-breed cattle and buffalo. He called it cattalo. Later successful hybridizations gave way to the beefalo. Some cite the near-extinction and later ultimate repopulation of the buffalo to free-market forces such as the private herds kept by Buffalo Jones for creating sustainable cattalo .
It's an annual event, just like January white sales!
The Beast - 50 most loathsome Americans, 2005 edition Also, see discussion from last year, and 2002. So Buffalo has given us wings, and this list, thanks upper NY! Deride it as petty vindictive shooting fish in a barrel if you must, but any publication that claims Terry Schivo feels the same way about her case today as she did a year ago is okay in my estimation.
The Original Mountian Bikers?
Were these the original mountian bikers? Forget about Marin County in the late 70's. The real pioneers were members of the 25th Infantry Regiment who did a little riding in Montana. They are also the subject of a book titled Iron Riders and a PBS documentary called The Bicycle Corps.

Down wit porn, what?
When did Porn become mainstream? John Walsh asks the question in the Independant. The question might seem silly save for this. People in Buffulo asked to pose niked in public? Why not, American athletes do it, Spike Lee endorses it, and even Matt Damon wants to screw in front of you. Bosnian men don't seem to share Matt's fervor for the camera, but everyone is talking sex, even those icky old folks who frequent online football magazines. Why not have your tittilation in-your-face! Does the line between erotica and pornography even exist any more? many of the links via World Sex News.
Bison: The Healthier Meat?
Bison is not buffalo according to restauranter Ted Turner. Recently devegetarianized and looking for ways to reintroduce meat it seems bison would be the logical choice as it appears to be the healthier alternative to all other meats including chicken and fish. Plus it's high in omega 3's and the notorious vegetarian and organic purist Dr. Andrew Weil gives it the thumbs up.
American killed by American government in anti-terrorism campaign
Ten days ago in Yemen, a car carrying several men, including an American citizen, was blown up. They were deliberately killed by a missile fired from a CIA drone aircraft. The American is from Lackawanna, New York, about nine miles away from my house. When I first heard about this bombing, I thought of Orlando Letelier. Where are the lines now separating law enforcement and war, targeted strikes and murder?
When animals do what comes naturally
When animals do what comes naturally...Buffalo. Bull. Shark. Wow. Busy couple of days for out-of-the-ordinary "man - vs - animal" incidents. Anyone have interesting animal tales to tell, whether they resulted in injury or not? My rule of thumb: if an animal has teeth that are bigger than mine, get outta there!

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
Mickey Bowman couldn�t have been more effusive about Saturday morning�s Durango Cowboy Gathering�s Motorless Parade, or about Durango itself.
�I�m extremely humbled� to be asked to be the parade�s grand marshal, he said. �It�s beyond any expectations� for personal recognition.
Bowman, 70, is the former manager of Basin Coop�s Durango store. He retired last year after serving the community for 35 years.
He said it had been a privilege to work with the co-op employees, as well as the customers and community.
�It�s been a privilege working with the people (there),� Bowman said. �I miss the people.�
Bowman decided that because of his age and health issues, it was time to retire.
�I decided to turn it over to the younger ones; it was time,� he said.
However, Bowman said he had not exactly planned what he would do in retirement, so his role as grand marshal helped focus a little of his time since being asked.
Bowman was asked to be the Motorless Parade�s grand marshal last spring. But is was entirely unexpected.
�I�ve never tried to be recognized for anything,� he said.
His modest demeanor apparently is typical, said others at the parade, and he goes back to the people he worked with.
�I loved what I (did),� he said. �I was blessed by having fantastic people around me. I wish everybody had that opportunity.�
Saturday also was the first time in two years that his whole family had a chance to be together, so the time after the parade was devoted to them, Bowman said.
Bowman, in his cowboy hat, bolo tie and gray felt vest was representative of what the Durango Cowboy Gathering is all about, said Jon Schuetz. Schuetz was the La Plata County Sheriff�s Mounted Patrol coordinator for the parade. He also owns Rio Grande Trading Co. and the Diamond Circle Gift Shop.
The Gathering is �the only ability we�ve got to keep the (Western) lifestyle alive,� Schuetz said.
He said that the four days of events help others understand the importance of Western values, agriculture and ranching in particular through poetry and music and the motorless parade.
�All that stuff is going away quickly,� Schuetz said. The Gathering�s events allow visitors �to get up close and personal, so people understand it.�
He said the Durango Cowboy Poetry Gathering is the second-oldest such event in the country, only superseded by the national Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nev., which is in its 29th year.
Schuetz said the parade is significant for other reasons, including the inclusion of the only remaining U.S. Marine Corps Mounted Color Guard.
The presence of the Color Guard also was a tribute to Bowman, a former Marine, Schuetz said. The Color Guard is headquartered at the Marine Logistics Base in Barstow, Calif., where it was formed during the Vietnam War in 1967.
The Motorless Parade also brings the community together in what Al Harper called the �paradingest town.�
Harper, chairman, CEO and co-owner of the parent company of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, said, �Durango is like all of America ought to be. It brings out the best in everybody.�

Article: Persistent reduction of hippocampal glutamine synthetase expression after status epilepticus in immature rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Mesiotemporal sclerosis (MTS), the most frequent form of drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy, often develops after an initial precipitating injury affecting the immature brain. To analyse early processes in epileptogenesis we used the juvenile pilocarpine model to study status epilepticus (SE)-induced changes in expression of key components in the glutamate–glutamine cycle, known to be affected in MTS patients. SE was induced by Li+/pilocarpine injection in 21-day-old rats. At 2–19 weeks after SE hippocampal protein expression was analysed by immunohistochemistry and neuron damage by FluoroJade staining. Spontaneous seizures occurred in at least 44% of animals 15–18 weeks after SE. As expected in this model, we did not observe loss of principal hippocampal neurons. Neuron damage was most pronounced in the hilus, where we also detected progressive loss of parvalbumin-positive GABAergic interneurons. Hilar neuron loss (or end-folium sclerosis), a common feature in patients with MTS, was accompanied by a progressively decreased glutamine synthetase (GS)-immunoreactivity from 2 (−15%) to 19 weeks (−33.5%) after SE. Immunoreactivity for excitatory amino-acid transporters, vesicular glutamate transporter 1 and glial fibrillary acidic protein was unaffected. Our data show that SE elicited in 21-day-old rats induces a progressive reduction in hilar GS expression without affecting other key components of the glutamate–glutamine cycle. Reduced expression of glial enzyme GS was first detected 2 weeks after SE, and thus clearly before spontaneous recurrent seizures occurred. These results support the hypothesis that reduced GS expression is an early event in the development of hippocampal sclerosis in MTS patients and emphasize the importance of astrocytes in early epileptogenesis.
Article: In vivo MRS and histochemistry of status epilepticus-induced hippocampal pathology in a juvenile model of temporal lobe epilepsy[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Childhood status epilepticus (SE) initiates an epileptogenic process that leads to spontaneous seizures and hippocampal pathology characterized by neuronal loss, gliosis and an imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission. It remains unclear whether these changes are a cause or consequence of chronic epilepsy. In this study, in vivo MRS was used in a post-SE juvenile rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) to establish the temporal evolution of hippocampal injury and neurotransmitter imbalance. SE was induced in P21 rats by injection of lithium and pilocarpine. Four and eight weeks after SE, in vivo (1) H and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-edited MRS of the hippocampus was performed in combination with dedicated ex vivo immunohistochemistry for the interpretation and validation of MRS findings. MRS showed a 12% decrease (p < 0.0001) in N-acetylaspartate and a 15% increase (p = 0.0226) in choline-containing compound concentrations, indicating neuronal death and gliosis, respectively. These results were confirmed by FluoroJade and vimentin staining. Furthermore, severe and progressive decreases in GABA (-41%, p < 0.001) and glutamate (Glu) (-17%, p < 0.001) were found. The specific severity of GABAergic cell death was confirmed by parvalbumin immunoreactivity (-68%, p < 0.001). Unexpectedly, we found changes in glutamine (Gln), the metabolic precursor of both GABA and Glu. Gln increased at 4 weeks (+36%, p < 0.001), but returned to control levels at 8 weeks. This decrease was consistent with the simultaneous decrease in glutamine synthase immunoreactivity (-32%, p = 0.037). In vivo MRS showed gliosis and (predominantly GABAergic) neuronal loss. In addition, an increase in Gln was detected, accompanied by a decrease in glutamine synthase immunoreactivity. This may reflect glutamine synthase downregulation in order to normalize Gln levels. These changes occurred before spontaneous recurrent seizures were present but, by creating a pre-epileptic state, may play a role in epileptogenesis. MRS can be applied in a clinical setting and may be used as a noninvasive tool to monitor the development of TLE. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is one of the most common focal epilepsy syndromes. In a genome-wide expression study of the human TLE hippocampus we previously showed up-regulation of genes involved in chemokine signalling. Here we investigate in the rat pilocarpine model for TLE, whether changes in chemokine signalling occur during epileptogenesis and are persistent. Therefore we analysed hippocampal protein expression and cellular localisation of CCL2, CCL4, CCR1 and CCR5 after status epilepticus. We found increased CCL4 (but not CCL2) expression in specific populations of hilar astrocytes at 2 and 19 weeks after SE concomitant with a persistent up-regulation of its receptor CCR5. Our results show an early and persistent up-regulation of CCL4/CCR5 signalling during epileptogenesis and suggest that CCL4 signalling, rather than CCL2 signalling, could have a role in the epileptogenic process.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a fatal neurodegenerative disease and glutamate excitotoxicity has been implicated in its pathogenesis. Platelets contain a glutamate uptake system and express components of the glutamate-glutamine cycle, such as the predominant glial excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (EAAT2). In several neurological diseases platelets have proven to be systemic markers for the disease. We compared properties of key components of the glutamate-glutamine cycle in blood platelets of ALS patients and healthy controls. Platelets were analyzed for (3)H-glutamate uptake in the presence or absence of thrombin and for EAAT2 and glutamine synthetase protein expression by Western blotting. Platelets of ALS patients showed a 37% increase in expression of glutamine synthetase, but normal expression of glutamate transporter EAAT2. Glutamate uptake in resting or thrombin-stimulated platelets did not differ significantly between platelets from ALS patients and controls. Thrombin-stimulation resulted in about a seven-fold increase in glutamate uptake. Our data suggest that glutamine synthetase may be a peripheral marker of ALS and encourage further investigation into the role of this enzyme in ALS.
Article: Thrombin-stimulated glutamate uptake in human platelets is predominantly mediated by the glial glutamate transporter EAAT2[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Glutamate toxicity has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various neurological diseases. Glial glutamate transporters play a key role in the regulation of extracellular glutamate levels in the brain by removing glutamate from the extracellular fluid. Since human blood platelets possess an active glutamate uptake system, they have been used as a peripheral model of glutamate transport in the central nervous system (CNS). The present study is aimed at identifying the glutamate transporter on blood platelets, and to asses the influence of platelet activation on glutamate uptake. Platelets from healthy donors showed Na+-dependent glutamate uptake (Km, 3.5+/-0.9 microM; Vmax, 2.8+/-0.2 pmol glutamate/75 x 10(6)platelets/30 min), which could be blocked dose-dependently by the EAAT specific inhibitors DL-threo-E-benzyloxyaspartate (TBOA), L-trans-pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (tPDC) and high concentrations of the EAAT2 inhibitor dihydrokainate (DHK). Analysis of platelet homogenates on Western blots showed EAAT2 as the predominant glutamate transporter. Platelet activation by thrombin caused an increase in glutamate uptake, which could be inhibited by TBOA and the EAAT2 inhibitor DHK. Kinetic analysis showed recruitment of new transporters to the membrane. Indeed, Western blot analysis of subcellular fractions revealed that alpha-granules, which fuse with the membrane upon thrombin stimulation, contained significant EAAT2 immunoreactivity. Inhibition of the second messengers involved in alpha-granule secretion (protein kinase C, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase) inhibited thrombin-stimulated uptake, but not basal uptake. These data show that the glial EAAT2 is the predominant glutamate transporter on blood platelets and suggest, that thrombin increases glutamate uptake capacity by recruiting new transporters (EAAT2) from alpha-granules.
Article: Reduced glutamine synthetase in hippocampal areas with neuron loss in temporal lobe epilepsy[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Increased levels of glutamate have been reported in the epileptogenic hippocampus of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). This sustained increase, which may contribute to the initiation and propagation of seizure activity, indicates impaired clearance of glutamate released by neurons. Glutamate is predominantly cleared by glial cells through the excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (EAAT2) and its subsequent conversion to glutamine by the glial enzyme glutamine synthetase (GS). The authors examined the hippocampal distribution of GS, EAAT2, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) by immunohistochemistry in TLE patients with (HS group) and without hippocampal sclerosis (non-HS group), and in autopsy controls. In hippocampal homogenates the authors measured relative protein amounts by immunoblotting and GS enzyme activity. In the autopsy control and non-HS group GS immunoreactivity (IR) was predominantly found in glia in the neuropil of the subiculum, of the pyramidal cell layer of all CA fields, and in the supragranular layer of the dentate gyrus. In the HS group, GS and EAAT2 IR were markedly reduced in subfields showing neuron loss (CA1 and CA4), whereas GFAP IR was increased. The reduction in GS IR in the HS group was confirmed by immunoblotting and paralleled by decreased GS enzyme activity. Glial glutamine synthetase is downregulated in the hippocampal sclerosis (HS) hippocampus of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients in areas with severe neuron loss. This downregulation appears to be pathology-related, rather than seizure-related, and may be part of the mechanism underlying impaired glutamate clearance found in the hippocampus of TLE patients with HS.

Just about a week after Saudi hackers published the credit card details of thousands of Israelis on the Internet, Israeli hackers announced they had the credit card information of thousands of Saudis.
The Israeli hacker story was reported by the Israeli site YNet, which said it confirmed the reports by checking some of those on the list the hackers say they have.
The Israeli hackers said they have "thousands of lists that include the personal details of citizens in the Arab state as well as the credit card details of those citizens."
"At the moment, we're holding on to the information and waiting for the right moment to publish it," they said.
"If the leaks continue, we will cause severe damage to the privacy of Saudi citizens," one of the Israeli hackers warned.
According to the report, one Saudi resident named Mohammed was contacted by telephone. He "confirmed the details and tried to find out how his telephone number and information was discovered," the website said.
The Saudi hack attack was called an "unprecedented criminal action that has nationalist aspects."
Initially they said they had the details of 400,000 Israelis and urged people to make purchases. In the end about 14,000 Israelis were affected.

The Oakland Raiders entered their bye week at 4-3, and you get the feeling that they're at a major crossroads in their 2011 season.
The euphoria surrounding the acquisition of Carson Palmer was short-lived, as the Raiders were burned by Kansas City and he threw three picks in his first appearance in silver and black.
The Raiders will come out of the bye and face two straight division opponents—games which could decide whether they really are playoff contenders or not.
Here are four keys to the rest of the season for the Oakland Raiders.

No bus should try and cross any road that is underwater (even inches) - the road may be washed away underneath. Better polices should be put in place.
DOUGLASS, Kan. — Ten students were pulled to safety after their school bus was swept off the road and fell on its side in rushing water on Thursday.
According to an announcement on the Douglass Unified School District 396 website, the accident occurred at a low water crossing. The bus was swept off the road and came to rest in approximately two and a half feet of rushing water. The students on board used the escape hatch and windows to climb to safety on top of the bus.
The Associated Press (AP) reports that the bus driver called 911 to report the accident, and when emergency responders arrived, they decided against using boats because of the swift current. Instead, they reached the bus on lines and put the children and the driver in life jackets before pulling them to dry ground.
In the statement on the district's website, Superintendent Rob Reynolds said, "The kids were amazing, and they and the driver helped and consoled each other. The driver was sent to the hospital and is recovering. All 10 children were rescued, reunited with their parents and [are] doing well."
(According to AP, the bus driver was taken to the hospital to be checked for hypothermia.)
Reynolds went on to express appreciation for the first responders' efforts, and he said that the students involved will be closely monitored, and school counselors will be made available to talk to students.
The Kansas Highway Patrol is investigating the events surrounding the accident. Sheriff Kelly Herzet told AP that some sections of roads in the area were still covered by water from recent heavy rain, and the bus had driven into a submerged stretch of the road.

More than three years after the gold-selling Fires, Nerina Pallot has shaken up her sound, shrugged off the spectre of singer/songwriter and produced an album of clever, classy pop, including the new single Real Late Starter. It is taken from the brand new album The Graduate, aptly named owing to the fact Nerina recently graduated with a First in English literature.

By Steve Keen, Head Of School Of Economics, History & Politics, Kingston University
The era of low growth known as Japan's "Lost Decade" commenced in 1990, and persists to this day. While most authors acknowledge that the seeds for the Lost Decade were sown by excessive credit growth in the preceding Bubble Economy years, only Richard Koo (Koo, 2009, Koo, 2011, Koo, 2003, Koo, 2014) and Richard Werner (Voutsinas and Werner, 2011, Werner, 2002) have systematically argued that insufficient credit growth during the "Lost Decade" explains Japan's now quarter-century long slump. Yet these arguments tell us more about the dilemmas facing today's world economy than many more commonly accepted explanations of the current slowdown.
The insufficient credit growth story is rejected out of hand by most economists, for reasons summed up by Paul Krugman. From the perspective of mainstream economics, any event that negatively affects debtors is, to a large degree, offset by the positive effects of that event for creditors. Krugman therefore sees no possibility of Koo's argument of "an entire economy being "balance-sheet constrained":
Maybe part of the problem is that Koo envisages an economy in which everyone is balance-sheet constrained, as opposed to one in which lots of people are balance-sheet constrained. I'd say that his vision makes no sense: where there are debtors, there must also be creditors, so there have to be at least some people who can respond to lower real interest rates even in a balance-sheet recession. (Krugman, 2013)
Koo is, however, correct: it is possible for an entire economy to be balance-sheet constrained. Understanding why requires an appreciation of private credit creation that goes beyond the mere accounting truism that every entity's liability is another entity's asset. This paper will argue that the assumptions made by mainstream economists about the role of credit and banking in the economy are incorrect. When taking into account the "money creation" functions of banking, it becomes clear that the USA and most advanced economies as well as many emerging economies have joined Japan in being balance-sheet constrained, and face their own "lost decade" as a consequence of low credit growth.
I will start with the empirical data and its implications, and then move on to the argument that an entire economy can be balance-sheet constrained.[1]

Digital Realty Trust (NYSE: DLR ) has reported its fiscal Q4 and 2012. For the quarter, revenues were $350 million, and net income available to common shareholders was $45 million ($0.36 per diluted share). Both numbers were up from Q4 2011's $271 million and $36 million ($0.34 diluted EPS), respectively.
Funds from operations -- a critical metric for REITS such as DRT -- came in at $1.16 per share, bettering the $1.02 of the year-ago period. That $1.16 fell just short of the $1.17 average analyst expectation.
For the full year, revenues totaled $1.3 billion, and net income was $172 million ($1.48 diluted EPS), against 2011's $1.1 billion and $131 million ($1.32). FFO for 2012 was $4.44 per share, up from the previous year's $4.06.
Going forward, DRT proffered guidance for fiscal 2013. It expects diluted EPS of $1.37-$1.52, and FFO of $4.70-$4.85.

Featured Golf News
Giant Golf Books
I get quite a few golf books from publishers to review for Cybergolf. They come in all shapes and sizes, from pocket guides to full-on, four-color coffee-table tomes.
This latest batch, however, is the biggest of them all. Apparently seeking to keep printers in business and pulp mills from going out of business, three books arrived in the mail that, combined (I put them on a scale for verification), weigh 13.3 pounds. Here are my reviews of them.
First up is "The Golf Book" by Sports Illustrated. With a Foreword by the inimitable Roy Blount Jr., this mighty anthology contains essays and photos written and shot by some of the magazine's - and other - leading lights. It features action pix of the game's greatest players, as well as some for comic relief: the idiosyncratic Wayne Grady up to his hips in the ocean swinging a club, as just one example.
The writers are some of most illustrious in sport and golf: Herbert Warren Wind, Jim Murray, Bernard Darwin, Bobby Jones, Rick Reilly, Dan Jenkins, Frank Deford, George Plimpton, Edwin "Bud" Shrake and Grantland Rice, along with SI's stable of exceptional scribes.
But perhaps the most enduring asset of "The Golf Book" is the large-format photography. Even though I'm familiar with many of them, these iconic images in such glorious reproduction are pure pleasure. And with a price tag of just under $30, this is a fine Christmas present for any member of your regular foursome.
"The Golf Book" by Sports Illustrated, 2009, 296 pages, Time Inc. Home Entertainment, ISBN 1-60320-085-1, $29.95.
Next to be lifted off the scale is "Golf's Dream 18s" by David Barrett. The subtitle reads: "Fantasy Courses Comprised of over 300 Holes from Around the World."
In his own words, Barrett's assignment was to use "fully formed holes as my building blocks for mythical layouts." He "designed" 18 "Dream 18s" as part of the effort, cobbling together "courses" with pars ranging from 70 to 73.
The course categories are intriguing. Mostly self-explanatory, they include layouts comprised of "Scenic Holes," "Historic Holes," "Exclusive Holes" (from difficult-to-get-on private courses), "Holes Anyone Can Play," "Short Holes," "Long Holes," "Hard Holes," "Water Holes," "Strategic Holes," "Well-Bunkered Holes," "Bunkerless Holes," "Mountain Holes," "Links Holes," "Modern Holes," "Classic Holes," "Continental Europe Holes," "Australia/New Zealand Holes," and "The Ultimate Dream 18."
For each of his "courses" Barrett provides explanations for why he picked a certain hole in its corresponding category, with vibrant color photos illustrating the reasons for inclusion. Though Barrett makes valid arguments for his various lists - backed by personal insight and historical references, I'm sure golf-architecture nerds and the aficionados of www.golfclubatlas.com will have plenty of grist for their mills with Barrett's final selections.
And that's part of the charm of this excellent book, which has plenty of crackerjack photos by some of golf's top shooters. If you're looking to really impress that golfing friend of yours, here's another one to wrap up for Santa's day.
"Golf's Dream 18s" by David Barrett, 2009, Abrams, ISBN 978-0-8109-4982-9, $50.
Another oversized book is "Planet Golf USA" by Darius Oliver. Its promising subtitle is: "The Definitive Reference to Great Golf Courses in America," and it has a Foreword penned by Ben Crenshaw. Oliver gained cachet with his original "Planet Golf" book, which chronicled his travels to over 600 golf courses in 41 countries around the world.
For this second effort, Oliver, an Australian, utilized the course ratings published annually by Golf Digest and Golf Magazine and then set off to review them along with more than a dozen other layouts overlooked by these publications. He ended up traveling 22,000 miles, passing through 41 states en route to visiting 230 courses, about 20% of which in the book are open to the public.
The book is organized by region - West Coast and Hawaii, the Midwest & Rocky Mountains, the South and the Northeast. All of the usual suspects found on the magazines' top-100 lists are here: Crystal Downs, Prairie Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Chambers Bay, Cypress Point, Pebble Beach, Kiawah Island, Augusta National, Pine Valley, Bethpage Black, Yale University, and so on.
The characteristics of each course are explained in detail, with the boilerplate for each entry revealing the date the course was opened, its architect and the rating given it by the magazines.
It's obvious Oliver has a tremendous fondness for his subjects as I found few disparaging words amidst otherwise lavish praise for each course in the 348-page book. (In seeking the authenticity of a writer of golf-travel books, I always check out those in the remote Pacific Northwest, where I live. One oddity in the Eugene Country Club entry was this statement: "The club [Eugene] has unquestionably benefited from the popularity of Bandon Dunes, as Eugene is conveniently located midway between Portland and the resort." The latter phrase is true, but Eugene is a private club and anyone seeking to play it en route to Bandon will find that difficult and expensive. So I'm not quite sure if that relationship to Bandon holds water.)
Perhaps what lacking is that there's a picture-postcardness to the book - both in prose and photos - that makes it seem like an overwrought, overweight brochure.
Oliver's descriptions - virtually bereft of any quotes in the explanations, though the architect says a few words as an introduction to each course - are too canned for me, thus homogenizing the literary whole. I'd much rather see personal insights by those familiar with a particular course - besides the occasional self-aggrandizing architect - such as that found in Joel Zuckerman's wonderful "Pete Dye Golf Courses," where anyone from the developer to the superintendent to a member to the builder has a comment about Dye's work to give each work a distinct personality.
Admittedly, that's not possible for a course built in the early 1900s. Nevertheless, I think the author missed many chances to jot down a personal viewpoint into the golf courses, some of which rely on their status as a "top-100 facility" for prestige and marketing power.
Still, this is a lovely book with plenty of pretty pictures, mostly broad panoramas spread across the full recto page opposite the text.
"Planet Golf USA" by Darius Oliver, 2009, Abrams, ISBN 978-0-8109-1437-7, $60.

No 'Star Wars' for 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' actor Jack Reynor
(CBR) "Star Wars: Episode VII" casting rumors will continue to fly fast and furious until official announcements are made — and most of them will get shot down with just as much speed.
For example, "Transformers: Age of Extinction" actor Jack Reynor was recently rumored for a lead role in director J.J. Abrams' upcoming "Star Wars" saga. But that rumor has been crushed by the actor's representatives.
"There is no truth in that — Jack is not taking on a role in the latest "Star Wars" film," a spokesperson tells Independent.ie. "He has not been approached about a role and there has been no discussion. The rumors started online, but there is no foundation to them."
That seems fairly cut and dry, doesn't it? We'll see if Reynor's name stays out of the mix as official "Star Wars" casting announcements begin in the weeks to come.
Until those announcements take place, all we have to look forward to is a release date: Dec. 18, 2015.

OWEGO, N.Y. — The Owego Apalachin Central School District's transportation department has raised the bar with its safety training program by reconfiguring a school bus to create its third SAFE (Student Accident Fire Evacuation) Bus, a mobile training station and classroom.
Mechanic Randy Murray, who is part of the department's 11-member safety committee, cut a 1993 Thomas Built conventional bus in half, turned the rear half sideways and reattached it to the chassis. Special platforms and shatterproof glass were added to create a setup that allows trainers to simulate an overturned bus.
Transportation personnel, students and staff are able to safely climb through the roof hatch and rear exit of the bus for emergency training and preparation. Matthews Buses of New York donated the vehicle, which Owego set up with a television for training videos.
The vehicle cost the district approximately $1,500 to build and is inspected by the state. It travels approximately 2,000 to 2,500 miles each year and is serviced bimonthly.
Murray and other members of the department's staff volunteered their nights and weekends to construct the SAFE Bus. He estimates about 420 labor hours went into the project.
The idea of the SAFE Bus originated in 1989 with Bob Gage, a school bus driver. He and others from the department had attended a safety training that was so impressive that the team returned to Owego to make changes to its program.
The transportation team received permission from the Board of Education to seek donations from local businesses to fund construction of the bus. Companies like Best Buy and other local vendors donated equipment, while others contributed monetarily.
Although Owego does share the SAFE Bus with other districts, it does not loan out the vehicle. A member of the safety committee accompanies the bus whenever it is in use. "We want to make sure that the trainees are being taught safely," said Rose Winters, driver and safety trainer. "We have not had a single child injury since we implemented the SAFE Bus in 1989. We pride ourselves in that."
"Community response to the SAFE Bus has been great," said Pam Bird, also a driver and safety trainer. "We've had training with fire, police and EMS departments and have exhibited the bus at open houses. The parents were amazed."
