Portland Picks with Sayward Rebhal, Bonzai Aphrodite
The next round of personalized Portland Picks comes from a former Portlander (and naturally, passionate vegan blogger) who'll be back in town in a few days to speak at the 'Con, Sayward Rebhal. As always, our recommendations come from trusty Portland vegan locals and lovers, and we bet all our attendees, whether you're arriving early or not, want to squeeze in a little time outside of the busy, busy conference schedule to wander in the vegan wonderland. Let's find out more of Sayward's "Socially Conscious, Totally Fabulous!"Portland musts below…
Your Name: Sayward Rebhal
For real. With mere days to go, do stay tuned for the next round! For more Portland Vegan Dining, Shopping & Tourist ideas, check out our official While You're in Town selection and the VVC 2013 Google Map
Portland Picks: Steffers C, The Roaming Vegan Gnome
It's now time for another round in our continuing series of personalized Portland Picks! These recommendations are from trusty Portland vegan locals and lovers, and we bet all our attendees, whether you're arriving early or not, want to squeeze in a little time outside of the busy, busy conference schedule to wander in the vegan wonderland. Next up, is Steffers C, a Northwest native with a fondness for great microbrews, running marathons, and traveling the world. Let's find out her Portland musts below…
Your Name: Steffers C
Your Blog: The Roaming Vegan Gnome
What Steffers says you simply must see in Portland:
2) Pittock Mansion….for the view (I mean, the house is surely nice and all, but expensive. Scenery is free!)
3) If you have a car (or know another VVC goer/local with a car) head up the Old Columbia River Highway. The best waterfalls are up there (Multnomah included, but so many more) and Crown Point has some awesome views in good weather.
What and where to eat?
1) Obviously, soft serve at Back to Eden.
2) That beet burger at Portobello.
As for that beer (and tea!)…
1) Not exactly cheap, but the Belgium Burns cocktail at Bazi Bierbrasserie. It is WRONG WRONG WRONG to mix Scotch with anything, but the bartender makes it SO RIGHT. And Delirium Tremens is totally vegan.
2) Happy hour at Hopworks is my favorite after school activity.
3) My favorite soy chai hangs out at Townshend's on Alberta. Any one of the variations from it is acceptable.
Where to shop?
1) Barbur World Foods has the best hummus in their deli case (along with vegan kibbeh, fatayer, baba ganoush, and fresh, hot, delicious pita.). It's also home to an awesome grocery full of wonderful things like a variety of olives, Lebanese sweets, Field Roast sausages (?!) and fresh figs. It's not close-in, but it is a 20 minute bus ride/drive away! (Vida note: and totally worth it for those wood-fired pitas! – Plus, near Green Wok)
2) Obviously, Food Fight!, for delicious junk food! And carrageenan.
3) Hawthorne Vintage. Go ahead and try to spend less than an hour in that place.
Only Portland has…
Darcelle. Just look it up. The turning point in the adult life of almost all Pacific NW natives includes Darcelle.
Ask Steffers about her favorite spots to run in Portland next weekend at the conference – she's amazingly helping out all over the place! With that, do stay tuned for the next round!

Portland Picks with Elizabeth TresCosas, Vegan Iron Chef
It's time for round two in our series of personalized Portland Picks! These recommendations are from trusty Portland vegan locals and lovers, and we bet all our attendees, whether you're arriving early or not, want to squeeze in a little time outside of the busy, busy conference schedule to wander in the vegan wonderland. Next up, is Vegan Iron Chef's Co-Founder, VVC Creative Director, and design guru Elizabeth, who's going to share her thoughts on Portland's vegan Banh Mis, cocktail scene, and more. Let's find out her Portland-musts below…
Name: Elizabeth TresCosas
Your Websites: VeganIronChef.org, Innerstate.org (redesign in progress!)
Food she really, really misses when out-of-town: Vegan Banh Mi: favorites include Star Bar's & Sweet Hereafter. REALLY EXCITED to try the one at Old Gold and at Luc Lac. Other faves include the Tofu Burrito at Los Gorditos (now with three locations – give them the hot sauce you want to add to the burrito before they make it; makes all the difference), the Beet Burger @ Portobello Vegan Trattoria, and Fries topped with Perfect Sauce and Chili @ White Owl Social Club.
Her guide to three great bar & grub crawls, if you will:
1: Start at… White Owl Social Club ($3 beers!),> dinner at Star Bar, > drinks at Dig A Pony > East End
2: The Aalto Lounge's Happy hour (so good for booze! $2 cocktail menu) > dinner at Sweet Hereafter > walk to drinks at Gold Dust Meridian or The Conquistador Lounge.
3: Basement Pub > Roadside Attraction > Hungry Tiger Too > BASE CAMP Brewing (all walkable)
Where to Shop: Bins. Inner East Burnside vintage shops. N. Mississippi Ave.
If one is in need of spiffying up or a little sleevework, where would you send them? Akemi Salon & Common Ground Wellness.
Only Portland has…. Forest Park. The Bins. The Gorge. So many vegan-friendly neighborhoods to walk around and drink / eat, on foot!

What Do I Pack?!
Maybe you're an eleventh-hour packer, praying to the taxi gods that you have time to grab that last load of laundry before the angry honking begins. Or do you have your bags out two weeks in advance, lists (only Excel files will do) perched on your desktop for easy access?
Either way, we figure you could probably use some help deciding what to bring. It's Portland, late May, and you're going to spend three days or so with people who photograph and write about everything they see—no pressure there!
- Car? Don't bother. It's a city, which means you will pay too much for parking at your hotel or near the museum. It's not as bad as some cities, but still. With our public transportation, unless you're venturing out to the ocean or mountains you just won't need it. (But if you must, we have some tips on local parking here).
- Comfortable shoes. We're looking at long days, and while your needs are seen to within the Art Museum buildings during the day, you will absolutely want to explore Portland in the evenings and beyond—we've arranged activities all over the city, and it would be a shame not to get out there and soak up all the Portland you possibly can.
- Layers. You never really know what you're going to get here; a zipped-up-hoodie morning could lead to a back-sweat afternoon. And sure, it could rain.
- Maybe a little something fancy? Saturday night's Galarama + Silent Auction is the perfect excuse to get a little glitzy, although dressing up is by no means mandatory.
- Business cards. How many new friends will you be making? It's a great idea to have an easy way to share your blog URL, email address, and social media handle(s). (Remember, no swag or solicitation! Let's keep it classy and comfortable for all.)
- Camera! As if we need to remind bloggers to bring their cameras, but still. We're saying it out loud—and don't forget your charger and extra SD card! (And if you're the social media type, use #VidaVeganCon or #VVC2013 to spread the love…and make everybody jealous.)
- Extra bag. Hey, you're gonna be acquiring a lot of stuff—from SWAG bag goodies to cookbooks to tourist trinkets. How many pounds of bulk Soy Curls can you stuff in those pockets?
Did we miss something? Were you at the 2011 conference? Was there anything you either were so relieved you'd brought or really wished you'd remembered?
VVC 2013: Getting to the Portland Art Museum
Let's get you to Vida Vegan Con!
Our event takes place at the Portland Art Museum for the first time this May, and our Getting to Portland page has all the information and tips you need on flying, driving, taking the train, and busing from out-of-town, as well as local transportation and bike rental ideas. If you're planning on taking the BoltBus from Seattle, Bellingham or Vancouver, B.C., do be on the look-out, as their schedule is posted 4-6 weeks in advance and tickets go quite quickly these days (and it *is* shockingly possibly to snag a $1 ticket, as Jess here, can personally attest). This post will review the nitty-gritty of getting to the Museum & more, so please make sure to read carefully.
Immediate Area & Google Map
We've been putting together a brand-new Vida Vegan Con II Google Map so you can get a feel for the Portland area. It includes all official and unofficial conference happenings, as well as dining and lodging recommendations, and directions to and from several important locales. We highly suggest that you bookmark it if you're a smart phone user. If you'd like to see something added, say the word and we'll do our best to get it in.
The address of the Portland Art Museum is: 1219 SW Park Ave Portland, OR 97205
For more details, and to peruse the latest exhibits, visit the PAM website.We've put all the official Vida Vegan Con II locations, including:
- The Portland Art Museum
- Staver Locomotive – the home of the Saturday night Galarama & Silent Auction, sponsored by So Delicious, which is included in conference registration (though tickets are available for family & friends!)
- White Owl Social Club (home of our unofficial but official Thursday night Meet & Greet)
- Numerous hotels, guesthouses, hostels and other lodging ideas, many of which are offering weekend discounts if you sign up for a room by the end of April
- Peoples' Coop
- The Vegan Mini Mall at SE 12th & Stark (Herbivore Clothing, Sweetpea Baking Co., Scapegoat Tattoo and Food Fight! Grocery), the latter of which is home to the Friday night Pop-Up Sandwich & Queso Shop, hosted by Upton's Naturals and Food for Lovers Queso
- All our favorite must-go vegan eats & locations around town – feel free to email us or leave a comment if you'd like us to add something!
Getting to the Art Museum:
- Google map directions via bike, public transit, bike or walking
- Driving directions
- City of Portland's official walking and biking maps
- Trimet Trip Planner
- Transit Tracker (live countdowns)
- Trimet maps & schedules
More on Public Transit
All you need to know about using Trimet's MAX lightrail, bus lines and the Portland Streetcar lines to get to the Portland Art Museum is on our Venue page. For custom Trimet trips from anywhere in the Portland metro area, use the official (and easy!) Trimet Trip Planner.
The Portland Art Museum is centrally located on multiple bus lines, the recently expanded Portland Streetcar system, and a few blocks from the MAX lightrail. The closest lines are technically the streetcar and the #6 and #15 buses, but it's also a quick walk from any bus (which includes most lines) and the MAX that stops along the downtown bus mall.Please note, there is no more Fareless Square. Tickets are now required for all buses and trains.
About Parking
There is much metered street parking in the area (most spaces limited to 2 or 3 hours—and you can't just keep feeding the meters; you have to move your car to another block or you will get a ticket), and many parking garages.
We've also investigated two nearby parking lots, which are across the street from each other from the conference, at SW Park and Main, and one block north. Be sure to investigate your options, as rate can vary.
Stay tuned for a lodging round-up (plus, our favorite Portland vegan musts & local recs) soon – and check out our recommendations and various promotional discounts across town in the meantime. Remember, it's a holiday weekend, so book those rooms!

Phones have been getting bigger, so don't be surprised when you stumble upon older universal accessories that don't fit recent phablets. Probably one of the most common accessories is the car mount. You use it to keep your smartphone in sight and ready for GPS directions, streaming music, or hands-free calls inside the car. If you're looking to get one for your phablet like the Lumia 1520, Lumia 1320, or the new Lumia 640 XL, you should consider the Kenu Airframe Plus. Check out our hands-on video to see it in action.

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
This happened in the state of Texas.A friend of mine was arrested for DWI and put on on probation for 18 months.
Last night she came to a party at my house got very drunk and the cops were called. She was arrested and found to be in possession of marijuana. She was only charged with possession of marijuana between 0 and 2 ounces. Since she got arrested last night in a different county than where she has probation will the county that she is under probation in find out about this charge?If so what will happen if they find out?
Pauldavid77:Since she got arrested last night in a different county than where she has probation will the county that she is under probation in find out about this charge?If so what will happen if they find out?
If they haven't by now, you certainly did not do her a favor by posting on this website. More than likely, they will find out. The BEST thing you can do for your friend is to help her find a local attorney.
I'm not a lawyer. This is only my opinion /suggestion. Most Replys' are based on information provided by the "original post" (OP).
Not to be rude but, I did not post enough information in this post for someone to be identified.
I am only asking this question because I don't want to bail her if she is going to go right back to jail, thats a waste of money.
Pauldavid77:I am only asking this question because I don't want to bail her if she is going to go right back to jail, thats a waste of money.
Ok, well only her lawyer will be able to answer that question.
My apologies. My comment earlier was rude and uncalled for. Your friend is in trouble, and should start seeking advice from a local attorney.
Not two months ago someone posted about his arrest, including County, case number,and a confession...guess what the the judge was holding in his hand the day of the trial? That's right, a printout of this website. So, although that wasn't your intention, Harris County probably already knows.
That isn't the first time we have heard about something like this happening: courts, DAs, cops, IRS etc. are all using the internet now to find information on those they have cases with.
That said: your friend needs to consult with an attorney regarding the probation issue. The reality is if they don't tell the PO and the PO finds out eventually then the damage could be worse. If they are still sitting in jail (since you are trying to decide whether to post bail) then you can pretty much figure that the PO will find out. Most probation requirements include informing the PO when the person gets in more trouble.
What could happen? They can violate them and they would have to serve all of the original sentence. Judges are not happy campers when probationers ignore the requirements of the court. Bare minimum they can be placed back on probation.
As to posting bail: if you post bail with the court the only way you would forfeit the money is if your friend jumps bail. Given that they can't seem to stay out of trouble my personal opinion is that this is a risky financial adventure for YOU. If your friend can't afford to post bail then they need to contact family or wait until a court hearing. I know you want to help your friend but it may be that the best help they can get is to stay in jail and learn a lesson.
"That's just my opinion, then again I might be wrong." Dennis Miller
This was obviously the wrong place to come to ask a question.
There is no identifying information in this post at all, besides a county name. Harris County has 5 million people residing in it and Fort Bend has about 1/2 million people. There are many people on probation and many violate in this exact same manner.
Had I posted information that would reveal identity I would understand but I didn't.
I do appreciate some of the advice that has been given her, but I think someone founding out from this post without any identifiable information is pretty ridiculous.
Pauldavid77:There is no identifying information in this post at all, besides a county name
Cops and prosecutors and their investigators don't need a name to put two and two together. You provided enough information about when and where the arrest occurred and for what for them to check their records to figure out who the defendant is. While I'm sure a lot of people got arrested in Harris County on 9/25, how many were arrested for pot while drunk at a loud party that the cops responded to? That's what the other posters were trying to explain to you. Posters on here who have give too much information have been surprised when the prosecutor references their posts in court. It's for the protection of your friend that it was mentioned and for no other reason.
Agreeing with the other responses posted in this forum, I must certainly say that using a forum on this clarification, with almost all details, is far from intelligence. Talk to your local attorney.
And the broader issue remains if there is an apparent violation of probation is it not in the public interest to assist law enforcement in exercising the appropriate level of protection of the general public?
Had this individual driven home and wiped out a few innocent other people--where does that make sense.
Now one has no duty to advise the PO in next jurisdiction--but think about it--if nobody turns in bad apples isn't the world just a bit less safe?
If the cops who arrested her know about the probation, they can contact her PO. Or they might be lazy cops and not care.
Her PO likely has the ability to run a records check and could find the new arrest. Or s/he might be a lazy PO and not care.
Your friend probably has a probationary duty to report law enforcement contacts. That's the catch-all to save the state. Either they find out and she gets a PV? Or they don't and she doesn't report it, which is also a PV. And when they find out then she has two PV allegations.
If they find out they can roll a PV. Probation normally means a sentence was imposed and suspended for probation. Upon a violation the sentence can be imposed.

It is noted on this post that the cops were not able to use the print out because it was hearsay. Also, this is a bit different I'm just asking if someone is going to find out. I'm not talking about going to trial and making up stories or taking letters. There is no admission of guilt by any party in this post.
The only good thing I got out of reading the last post was that it told me how to possibly get my post modified. So you people would stop freaking out.
This is the worst message board ever. You would think this topic would be dead by now.

We're so excited about the X Factor final tonight that we've forgotten to how to read. And we imagine that you have too. So we've just collected up a lot of photos for you to look at instead.
Because we're lovely like that.
And when you're done with that, you'll be a whole five minutes closer to finding out who leaves the X Factor this evening.
Isn't that nice?

Pointing the finger at "aimlessness" as the culprit for this excellent
show's early demise is, in a sense, as misleading as describing "The Smith
Family" as "lighthearted." Neither term is fully adequate when discussing
this series. It's more accurate to say that this is a show that deserved
audience, yet failed to find one. Quite likely, such an audience simply
didn't exist; sadly, I doubt even more that one would readily materialize
Picture "Dragnet's" Joe Friday as a family man, happily married and determined to keep his job and his homelife separate. There you have the challenge faced by Henry Fonda's Detective Sgt. Chad Smith, and the focal point around which each episode revolved. His determination to safeguard his family's normality is illustrated by their picket fence-enclosed house on Primrose Lane (an image further reinforced by the use of Jerry Wallace's hit "Primrose Lane" as the show's theme song, sung by Mike Minor with special lyrics). Unfortunately, this normality too often translated in the series as "mundane," partially due to excellent performances by a standout cast (which included a post-Opie Ron Howard as teenage son Bob), all of whom never stepped out of character.
The show did have some solid moments to it, including the episode in which a mild-mannered middle-aged gentleman inveigles his way into the Smith household as "an old friend of Chet's" shortly before Chet is due home. The suspense builds, as we're aware that this charming, innocuous individual is actually quite mad, and determined to kill Sgt. Smith for having sent him to prison several years earlier. How Chet manages to save himself and, afterward, keep his family from learning the truth (Chet: "He had an appointment and couldn't stay for supper." Betty: "Oh, what a shame.") is handled without an excess of drama or violence, highly realistically, and delivers a superb payoff. Again unfortunately, however, such quiet heroism is rarely the fare of network TV success.
Had the show delivered a touch either of the "bells and whistles and sirens" of most contemporary police dramas, or else the alcoholism and stress-related angst which several Wambaugh-inspired series would soon introduce into cops' off-duty lives, "The Smith Family" might have stuck around significantly longer. Unfortunately, Chet Smith was simply a decent man fighting the good fight, both on the job and at home; the series' doom came as a result of his winning both fights so handily.
What a shame!
I would love to find a copy of this show on DVD or VHS. I think it is interesting that a drama series featuring a quality cast of Fonda, Janet Blair, Ron Howard and Charles McGraw would simply disappear without a trace. I have looked far and wide for this program and even collectors of vintage television programs don't have it. I agree with the previous comment about TVLand or another network bringing the 24 reruns back to television or DVD. Since this program was on the air before VHS and there never seemed to have been reruns, "The Smith Family" may be a forever,lost gem of episodic television. Perhaps the estate of the late Don Fedderson or ABC will locate some old film cans and reintroduce the public to a 'lost' television series that featured major stars and was a unique concept in its time.
I always liked Crime Drama's growing up. Henry Fonda as Det. Sgt. Chad Smith was a family man and a Police officer. He fought crime, like nobody's business. Ron Howard was his son. I suppose since he played Opie Taylor, as the son of a Sheriff, on The Andy Griffith Show, blended in well. One episode he was sitting at the teachers desk, in a classroom. Some boys came in pouring gasoline on the floor, to torch the school. Ron picked up the telephone to call the Police. The boys badly beat and battered Ron Howard. Fonda kept his family life separate from his work. If I was a law enforcement officer, I would have my telephone and address unlisted, for safety precautions. Some person, that I may have arrested would probably want to seek revenge. Police officers lives are always in jeopardy. From someone they arrested for a crime to a routine traffic stop. Why don't TV Land or could it be released to DVD whatever? I want to see this show again.
I found a pristine 45 RPM copy of Jerry Wallace's 1959 Challenge
Records hit "Primrose Lane" at a record meet recently (I am getting a
1976 Seeburg jukebox restored and hope to put this oldie in it when
it's fully functional later this year).
I vaguely remembered "Primrose Lane" was the theme of some TV show produced by Don Fedderson Productions, and could never think of the title until now. I do remember my folks had seen a few episodes of "The Smith Family" and it would bring back many untapped childhood memories if I could see this series again (I was only 9 years old in 1971 when "The Smith Family" premiered; we were living in the Detroit suburb of Warren, Michigan and were getting ready to move to Lansing, Michigan that summer. After we had settled into our new home in Lansing, I remember my folks had seen some of the last episodes in early 1972). It sounds as if "The Smith Family" was a show where the father was devoted to his duties as a police officer, yet also cared about his family - his character was treated with *respect,* not ridicule.
"The Smith Family" was also noteworthy in that it was one of the last original network television series produced by Don Fedderson Productions. After "The Smith Family" and "My Three Sons" were canceled in 1972, Fedderson's company didn't make any new series except for a few TV movies; by the mid-1970's until 1982 Don Fedderson Productions was reduced to syndicating (Gag! Choke!) "The Lawrence Welk Show." Then in the fall of 1982 when Welk's show ended Don Fedderson Productions became history.
Perhaps CBS DVD owns the DVD rights to this show? I do believe that, like "My Three Sons," the copyright notice in the closing credits credited the show's ownership to CBS (CBS Television Studios co-produced "The Smith Family" with Don Fedderson Productions; back then, it seemed rather unusual for one network's product to air on another network - in this case, ABC - whereas today it doesn't seem all that uncommon). Or, perhaps, as the other reader pointed out, Don Fedderson's estate might still own "The Smith Family?" Maybe Shout! Factory could get the DVD rights?
(At TV Shows on DVD.com, "The Smith Family" has amassed 67 total votes as of this writing, 96% of which - including myself - have voted for the series in a full season set. If you haven't already done so, you might want to visit TV Shows on DVD.com's website - it's free to become a member if you aren't one already - and vote for "The Smith Family" in a season set. If it gets 100 or more total votes, that might get the attention of CBS DVD, Shout! Factory, etc. - then perhaps they'll consider getting the DVD rights to "The Smith Family.")
In any event, I hope all ownership rights to "The Smith Family" get ironed out and that it may eventually find its way onto DVD. It sounds like a police drama done with much care and attention to *quality,* and as I said above, it'd also bring back some nice, forgotten childhood memories.
For the record,actor Henry Fonda starred in two landmark television
shows that were in fact a decade apart.
First of all,audiences got to see him as U.S. Marshal Simon Frye on the landmark western series THE DEPUTY(Top Gun Productions/Revue Studios-MCA/for NBC-TV that ran from September 12,1959 until July 1,1961)that was produced and created by Roland Kibbee and Norman Lear(future creator and producer of "All In The Family" fame)that ran for two seasons and produced 76 episodes that were in classic black and white.
The second series he did was when he portrayed Detective Sgt. Chad Smith on another short-lived series THE SMITH FAMILY(Don Fedderson Productions/The ABC Television Network that ran from January 20,1971 until June 7,1972)that was produced and created by Edmund Hartmann under executive producer Don Fedderson that was in color and produced 39 episodes. The series ran 30 minutes(which included commercials).
Produced by the same company by brought you "My Three Sons",and "Family Affair","The Smith Family" was a far departure from Don Fedderson's previous sitcoms. But this one had a premise. Picture if you will "Dragnet's" Joe Friday or "The Untouchables'" Elliott Ness as a family man,happily married and determined to keep his job and his homelife separate There you have the challenges faced by Henry Fonda's Detective Sgt. Chad Smith,and focal point around which each episode revolved. It was your average sugarcoated typical family sitcom,but with a kick that includes a lot of police action and tight situations in just about every episode that was above your average half-hour family situation comedy-drama. His determination to safeguard his family's normality is illustrated by their picket-fence enclosed house on Primrose Lane. The series did have some solid moments to it,including the episode in which a mild-mannered man inveighies his way into the Smith household as "an old friend of Chet's" titled "Ex-Con"(Airdate: January 27,1971).
There were some other episodes that were outstanding thanks to actor Ron Howard's brilliant performance as the oldest son Bob. In the episode titled "Where There's Smoke"(Airdate: February 3,1972),Bob is sitting at a teacher's desk when he sees a group of boys pouring gasoline on the floor of the next classroom to torch the school. Bob picks up the phone to call the police when the boys take Bob by force and badly beat him to a pulp. It's up to Bob to call his dad and save the school from being destroyed. Other episodes were great too. From the first episode "Cindy"(the pilot episode airdate:January 20,1971),to "The Peer Group" that guest starred Butch Patrick and Stefan Arngrim(airdate: April 14,1971),to the two part episode titled "Strangers",guest starring Betty Lynn,aka Thelma Lou from "The Andy Griffith Show"(airdates: February 24,1971 and March 3,1971),and including one episode where the teenage daughter is harassed at school by a group of bad girls(one of them is Kathy Garver,aka Cissy Davis of Family Affair is a role that was a far departure from her good girl status). Other guest stars including Stanley Livingston,Jerry Mathers and even Jay North in recurring roles and in one episode William Windom. The final episode of "The Smith Family" was "Father In Law"(airdate: June 7,1972). Repeats of this series ran on ABC from June 14,1972 until August 23,1972.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Bar Bet Special. First get some blow-hard, know-it-all, damn fool and
get the discussion about TV, Movies and who starred in what. You can
probably pin him down to betting that Henry Fonda had never starred in
a TV Series. Then you can really skunk him good! You see, the great
film actor and father of Hanoi Jane actually starred in two (2)
separate series, just about a decade apart.
First of all, we saw him as Marshall Simon Frey in THE DEPUTY (Top Gun Prod./Revue Studios/NBC TV Network, 1959-61). The second was today's honoree and subject of our criticism, THE SMITH FAMILY (Don Fedderson Prod./ABC TV Network, 1971-72).
The Cast of characters featured Det. Sgt. Chad Smith (Mr. Fonda),Mrs. Betty Smith (Janet Blair), Daughter Cindy Smith (Darlene Carr), Son Bob Smith* (Ron Howard), Little Son Brian Smith (Michael-James Wixted), Captain Hughes (Charles McGraw), Sgt. Carter (John Martin) and Detective Paperman (Richard Webb, JET JACKSON, himself.)
AS we recall, there was a fairly equal amount of time spent between the "Job" and the Smith Domestic Scene; just as the run down of the cast indicates.
The purpose of the series seems to have been to remind the public at large that their Police are family men, just as they are and are susceptible to all the problems that any one else is. This Series came out as a cultural counterbalance to the Radical Left at the time when Love, Dope and the Challenging of All Authority seemed to be the National Pastime.**
WE remember one particular episode in which the Son Bob (Mr. Ron Howard) during a meeting of the Police Explorer Scouts at the local Police Station (It's set in L.A.), comes into confrontation with an armed robbery. The teen-ager fears that he is yellow and would not have the courage to be the Real Police some day. His Father, Det. Sgt. Smith, reassures him that fear is a normal and healthy emotion and everyone feels it, even the good Sergeant, himself.
THE SMITH FAMILY seemed that it had all the right ingredients for the the times (for regular people, not for Hippy-Yippie-Druggie-type freaks). It lasted only the part of two different seasons.
IN the final analysis, the series may well have suffered from an inability to be easily classified; for it was thought to be a Sitcom, which it was not of course. It was a unique show, doing a particularly specialized job. We'd sure like to see it out on video.***
NOTE: * No, Schultz, we didn't mean "Buffalo BOB" Smith, who was Howdy Doody's Mentor!
NOTE: ** Of course we're referring to "Peaceful Methods of Protest", such as those used by the Youthful Protesters at the '68 Democratic National Convention, here in Chicago; where methods such as the Pitching of Rocks & Bricks, the Throwing of Bags of Human Excrement & Urine and the Spraying of Cops in the Face with Easy-Off Oven Cleaner.
NOTE: *** This is a similar situation that had befallen Jackie Cooper's great series, HENNESSEY (CBS, 1956-62). It was listed as a comedy, but more in the Classic sense; as it was very Dramatic and had a variety of situational types in its episodes.

A baby girl hours from dying of cholera was saved at a treatment centre set up by a British charity, Haitian doctors said today.
The six-month-old was brought in by her mother suffering serious dehydration from the disease, which has killed more than 7,500 people and infected 600,000 since an epidemic began in Haiti in 2010.
She survived because Bas Boen health clinic, set up by charity Merlin, was close enough to her home to allow her to receive urgent rehydration in time. Dr Ixinmon Ilioto, who treated her at the clinic just outside Port-au-Prince, said: "The baby girl was very badly dehydrated and would have died if she had had to travel much farther.
"But we were able to stabilise her and prevent that." He told how a boy of nine who was also close to death was saved in recent days.
The clinic, which serves about 40,000 people, had been abandoned but was reopened with Merlin's help. Out of more than 3,500 patients treated for cholera, only six have died. It is now run by Haiti's health ministry.

Syria behind mass killings, Syria says
BEIRUT — An international human rights group today accused Syrian government forces and pro-regime militias of carrying out summary executions earlier this year that left at least 248 people dead in two predominantly Sunni Muslim towns along the Mediterranean coast.
The allegations by Human Rights Watch came as intense negotiations by top American and Russian diplomats were under way in Geneva over securing President Bashar Assad's chemical arsenal implicated in the alleged chemical attack near Damascus last month that killed hundreds.
It was the Aug. 21 attack in the sprawling Damascus suburb of Ghouta that prompted the U.S. to threaten Assad's forces with a military strike. Washington and its allies said Syrian government troops fired warheads that contained a nerve agent into the suburb, most likely sarin. The U.S. says more than 1,000 people were killed in the attack; other estimates put the death toll at 500, at the least.
More than 100,000 people have been killed so far in Syria's civil war.
The New York-based group said in its new report, released today, that mass killings took place in the towns of Bayda and Banias on May 2 and 3. It said the report was based on accounts of people and witnesses who saw or heard government and pro-government forces detain and then kill their relatives. The group's activists interviewed 15 Bayda residents and five from Banias, as well as survivors and local activists to compile a list of names of 167 people killed in Bayda and 81 in Banias.
The two towns are predominantly populated by Sunni Muslims, who dominate the armed revolt against Assad's regime. They are located in Syria's coastal area, the heartland of the ruling Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam and a group that the president also belongs to.
"While the world's attention is on ensuring that Syria's government can no longer use chemical weapons against its population, we shouldn't forget that Syrian government forces have used conventional means to slaughter civilians," said Joe Stork, the acting Middle East director at HRW. "Survivors told us devastating stories of how their unarmed relatives were mowed down in front of them by government and pro-government forces."
In the 68-page report released today, HRW says it has witness accounts and video evidence to support claims that the "overwhelming majority" of the victims in the two towns were killed after military clashes ended and opposition fighters had retreated from the area. Most of the victims were shot at close range, the group said, adding that the actual number of casualties is likely to be higher as it's difficult to access the area, Banias in particular, to account for the dead.
On the morning of May 2, Syrian government forces and militiamen clashed with opposition fighters near Bayda, a town of about 7,000 residents, mostly Sunnis. Witnesses told HRW that rebels retreated in early afternoon, when government troops entered the town, doing house-to-house searches.
Over a period of three hours, they "entered homes, separated men from women, rounded up the men of each neighborhood in one spot, and executed them by shooting them at close range," the report said.
HRW activists documented the names of at least 23 women and 14 children, including infants, killed in that incident, the report said.
At the time, Syrian authorities acknowledged regime troops were operating in Bayda and Banias but said they battled and killed many "terrorists" there, the government's term for rebels fighting to topple Assad.
Syria's crisis started in March 2011 as largely peaceful protests against Assad's rule. The uprising turned into civil war after some opposition supporters took up arms to fight a harsh government crackdown on dissent. In the past two years, the fighting has taken increasingly sectarian overtones.
In the aftermath of the alleged chemical attack, Assad denied responsibility and accused U.S. officials of spreading lies without providing evidence. In an interview Thursday, the Syrian president described the Aug. 21 attack as a "U.S.-organized provocation."
Speaking to Russia's state Rossiya 24 news channel, Assad agreed to a Russian plan to secure and destroy his chemical weapons but said the proposal would work only if the U.S. halts threats of military action.
Assad also said his government will start submitting data on its chemical weapons stockpile a month after signing the convention banning such weapons.
Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed Syria's move, telling an international security gathering today in Kyrgyzstan that joining the Chemical Weapons Convention has proven Damascus' good faith.
It shows that Syria has "serious intentions to embark on that path," Putin said at the summit dominated by Russia, China and Iran, all Assad allies.
On Monday, Russia proposed that Syria avoid a U.S. military strike by surrendering control over its chemical weapons to the international community for eventual dismantling. Damascus quickly jumped at the offer and top U.S. and Russian diplomats opened talks in Geneva on Thursday to discuss the specifics.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said today the prospects for resuming the Syrian peace process are riding on the outcome of U.S.-Russian talks aimed at securing Syria's chemical weapons arsenal that lurched into a second day.
Kerry, flanked by Lavrov and Lakhdar Brahimi, the Arab League's special envoy to Syria, told the Geneva press corps after an hourlong meeting that the chances for a second peace conference in Geneva will require success first with the chemical weapons talks, which have been "constructive" so far.
Kerry said they agreed to meet around Sept. 28 on the sidelines of the annual U.N. General Assembly high-level meetings in New York. But, he said, the future of peace negotiations depends on the outcome of the weapons talks.
When the talks began Thursday, Kerry bluntly rejected a Syrian pledge to begin a "standard process" by turning over information rather than weapons — and nothing immediately. The American diplomat said that was not acceptable.
"The words of the Syrian regime, in our judgment, are simply not enough," Kerry declared as he stood beside Lavrov. "This is not a game."

Correct about what? Do you even have a point?
Yeah, I didn't think so.

Well........my point is.........In all my 35 years (in the business), and all my boats, m/cycles, cars, trucks, rv's, projects, and as a Ford Certified Master electrical, electronics, and driveability Tech, I have learned this......there is always more than one way to get the job done!
HEY Heavy Chevy! Let us know what ya did to solve your problem on dieseling.
Of course..............do the idle thing 1st!
[ January 15, 2003: Message edited by: 2-manytoyzs ]

[quote]there is always more than one way to get the job done!
You are absolutely right, my argument though wasn't about the right way or the wrong way.
[quote]whether you agree with that method is a diferent issue

I simply stated that to just say to turn down the idle is not the same as cutting off air/fuel flow. You may have meant that I'm sure but often what is written can be interpreted if not written clearly. If you told me to lower my car's idle from 700rpm to 500rpm and I turn the distributor retarding the timing til I'm at 500rpm did I do what you said? Yes. Maybe not what you meant I'm sure but I did accomplish what you said. I also am a college edducated, ASE certified (including L1-Advanced Engine Performance), and spent six years at one of the biggest Ford dealerships in my area when I lived in Jersey. I will also say that most of that means little as at the dealership I worked at one of the most experienced guys there by the time he retired was reduced to doing PDI's and used car preps because the technology had past him by. He was a Ford Certified Master Mechanic. I'm sure you aren't stupid and I never said your opinion was right or wrong just having a little fun picking at how you worded what you said.

We also had a Master tech that didnt keep up w/ the technology at the shop i was at. Doesnt take long to get lost while working on multiplexing problem in a Navigator if your not up to speed.
Oh noooo! Are we done? And I was just havin' fun. Man I like a good debate. This is the first good debate I've had on this site in a while that didn't resort to profanity by the second post. Next time I'll be a little more careful on that 'd' key . I actually grew up close to Fort Dix in Monmouth County. When they started giving out pills to residents in case of an attack on the nuclear plant I decided to head north. When I moved up here I got a job at an independant shop right down the road from my house. It's a good shop, honest group of guys, and my boss retired from a service manager position at Ford to buy his own shop. It's nice to not worry about flag sheets, warranty pay, what I can 'M' time and what I can't, but I miss WDS and having access to QC Dealer. Oh well, life goes on.
[ January 15, 2003: Message edited by: dmorris1200 ]

ok, guys so I really want to advance my timing and richen my IMS about 1/2 turn? and back the idle off to about what rpm with my foot on the brake and in drive? And also when i had my q-jet on there i removed all that smog crap, saved alot of weight too  What should i set my intaial advance to? Right now, i have it at 6 btdc.
Well we never did find out if you have an idle-up solenoid on the new carb but I'll assume you don't for now. Sometimes you just have to experiment to find out where she runs best. I would say turn your mixture screws out the 1/2 turn you mentioned and see if the idle quality improves. I would also set the base timing (with distributor vacuum disconnected and the line plugged) to about 10-12BTDC which will raise your idle speed. Now you can turn out your idle set-screw to bring your idle back down and close your throttle plates more. If she responds better you can repeat this procedure taking the base timing to 14BTDC and see what happens. Remember, if she pings when you accelerate you have advanced too far and need to simply turn back. If you don't experiment you'll never learn. Same thing with the idle mixture. A richer idle mixture will generally smooth out an idle but you can only go so far. The bottom line is you need to learn for yourself where your engine runs best. I can not account for a weak engine, low compression, worn valves, weak ignition, etc. over the internet. Just because my car may run great at 14BTDC doesn't mean yours will. So start playing and HAVE FUN! That's what it's all about.
I sure am glad you guys have called a ceasefire and have stopped waiving PHD's and factory certifications at the rest of us...
"PHD's and factory certifications"
Sorry about waving my own flag. I just recently discovered "posts and threads" and learning as I go.
Having a bunch of accolades and certifications doesnt mean you can fix a problem. I am a "by the book" tech and I find I learn a lot from people like dmorris, willys36, kultulz and many other "tweakers" out there.
Anyway, 72 Heavy Chevy, you may find 14 deg too much advance here in Cal. with our oxygenated and reformulated fuels, MBTE and all of our additives to save the coastal banana slug and kangaroo rat populations. (Sorry, this isnt a political forum).
Ya gotta just play with it until you find best possible balance. Its gonna ping this summer, retard timing in summer and advance in winter just a few deg.

Sorry about waving my own flag.

I was being facetious...The way dmorris went off, I thought he had a bind in his BVD's...
well guys.....thanks for all the help, i solved it. I turned IMS 1/8 turn richer, advanced it to 12btdc, and back the idle screw out until it barely touced the throttle. After that I did a valve adjustment and Hockus Pokus, no more run on.....Thanks for all the advise and knowledge you guys kicked down to me..By the way, dmorris and kult., i dont have a idle solenoid and the card is brand new...Again, thanks
Take a load off there Kultulz. You weren't even the guy I was messin' with. You suplied the correct theory (which I stated), I was just messin' with 2many to see if I could get more out of him than "Kultulz is right!". How many times have you seen me get involved with debates over mustangII front ends or using camaro clips? None, because I don't know anything about building custom t-buckets. But what I do know I stand firm on and will challenge others to hear their reasoning. If all the certification throwing bothered you I'm sorry but technically no one asked you to get in the middle of the situation anyway. I posed a 'mental challenge' (if you want to call it that) to 2manytoys and you just kinda jumped right in. Like the old saying goes, if you can't take the heat-get out of the kitchen. I have always respected the help you provide around here and have always tried to give you credit when passing along information provided by you on this board, I hope you do not let this thread ruin our friendship on this board as I have always considered you a friend at this site.
[quote]The way dmorris went off, I thought he had a bind in his BVD's...
And I find it funny that you bust my balls when I was right anyway. The guy had no idle-up solenoid or any other factory emissions garbage (which is typical of most street rods). Turning down his idle too low would have just givin' him stalling concerns in cold weather. By doing just what I said he was able to increase the idle by advancing base timing which aloud him to turn out his idle screw some to bring the rpm's back to where he started. Idle's the same, throttle plates open less. And of course a little extra mixture adjustment to finish the job. Excuse me for being right and explaining why so this guy understands the theories behind the fix which will help him in the future.

Can I use Cassandra to develop Business Information System > Software such as Accounting Information System?? > > Hello Dir -- I'm sorry but answering your question is just not that simple. The best answer I can give is that one way or another it is likely possible to build any type of system you can imagine using Cassandra. That said, there definitely are classes of problems that are going to be handled better or more easily by a system other than Cassandra. It really depends on what your needs are. No one is claiming Cassandra is a one-size-fits-all solution to all data management problems. If extreme high-availability, support for massive amounts of data, and scalable write performance are very important to you, then Cassandra is likely a good fit. If on the other hand you can tolerate some occasional downtime or if all your data fits comfortably on one machine, then Cassandra could very well be overkill for your problem. You have to analyze your own needs and compare those against the available options. Cassandra is very new, as are all the proverbial "nosql" options that are the rage these days. You won't find books or training courses covering Cassandra just yet. The development tool and application framework support is going to be nascent to non-existent for now. It's an exciting new world with a lot of innovation and opportunity, but also with a lot of bugs, a long list of features yet-to-be-implemented, and a lot of people figuring things out as they go along. So your own tolerance for risk and your willingness and ability to climb a sometimes steep learning curve should also factor into your decision. My advice, if you *think* Cassandra may be a good option for your application, just try it. Build a prototype and see how that goes. Mason

Borg lowers 200m national record
Nothing could have given Malta's premier female sprinter Diane Borg a bigger boost to her hopes of representing Malta in the European Championships in Helsinki than establishing a new national record during the last of a series of meetings organised by the MAAA at Marsa yesterday.
Lining up in the 200m race, Borg put up a scorching run that saw her cross the finish line in a new national record of 24.15 seconds, 0.12 faster than her own previous mark set on her way to winning the gold medal in last year's GSSE in Liechtenstein.

Marvel's X-Men Suffer the 'Curse of the Mutants'
We've known that the X-Men were going to throw down against vampires since the big announcement at C2E2, but today, Marvel announced another piece of the puzzle:
The story title: Curse of the Mutants! But just which curse are they referring to?Mutants are, after all, no stranger to colorful curses of their own, especially given the Comics Code's restrictions on the more popular f- and s-words. But it's been a while since we've seen them crop up with Claremontean regularity, so I'm really interested to see where they're planning on going with a revival of Mutant Cursing. Personally, I hope we see the triumphant return of…
"What the flamin'–?!"
"By the White Wolf!"
"Lords of the Earth and Air!"
And of course…
"Oh, my stars and garters."

Talk about radical thinking! The Tories have announced a programme of shooting burglars, to ease the pressure on Britain's jails. It wasn't quite put like that, but the new justice secretary, Chris Grayling, said that even if people use force "that in the cold light of day might seem over the top", the law will be on their side – unless their response was "grossly disproportionate".
This appears to mean that you can't kill them if they are already unconscious on the floor. And if they have barged into your home to sell you double glazing, or convert you to Mormonism, anything more than a few stab wounds would be unacceptable.
Certainly a warning would be in order, possibly along these lines: "This is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful hand gun in the world. You gotta ask yourself, 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"
Clearly, with burglars dying like slugs in a Magimix, there will be more space in the jails, and more money to retrain prisoners. (I especially like the idea that Timpsons are going to teach them the skills used in their shops. They will cut your spare keys. "I'll need your address, love, just for the invoice.")
My anxiety would be that there could be an escalation of the burglars v householders arms race. Most of us keep a small arsenal at home, including kitchen knives and the odd Le Creuset. But burglars will arrive tooled up with swords, machetes, etc, so we will have to buy AK-47s and they will respond with rocket launchers. Grayling is certainly tough, as he admiringly described himself on Tuesday. Damian Green, the police minister, pointed out before his speech: "Theresa used to lock 'em up and Ken would let 'em out. Now Theresa locks 'em up and Chris throws away the key!"
Tough times need tough ministers. Theresa May is also taking the pressure off the justice system. In some cases, crime victims will be able to choose the punishment for the criminals. If you are robbed, and have failed to terminate the malefactor with extreme prejudice, you'll be able to make a selection from several sanctions, either restorative or punitive, the home secretary said.
Apparently this means merely that you'll be able to decree they should pay you back, apologise, or else send them off to paint an old folks home, pick up litter, or some such. But will victims think this is enough? Won't we face escalation there too? People will insist that the villains lick chewing gum off pavements. Then they will want waterboarding, followed by hanging upside down from hooks in meat storage facilities. Once you decide that the victims can decide the punishment according to the strength of their anger, there is no limit! And the death penalty will save even more prison space.
Earlier we heard from Boris Johnson, who was much the most popular act of the day. Delegates asked themselves after his speech whether it was a leadership bid. How could it be, when he made such glowing references to David Cameron? What they did not understand was the metaphysical point that by his very existence Boris is a leadership bid, in and of himself. Everything he does is designed to mark him out as a future prime minister – his cleverness, his oratory, his jokes, his optimism, his connection to ordinary people. And if anyone missed this message, he rubbed it home: "We [in London] overcame a 17-point poll lead, so I know David Cameron can win in 2015!" In other words, "unlike that loser, stuck in a coalition, I smashed the Labour party!"
Never forget that in a private talk to his supporters after the election, Boris said: "We won in spite of the weather, the BBC, and even the support of David Cameron" – and sent it as a text to Downing Street.

From the Chair We are proud to announce that this year marks the 40th anniversary of the Department of Bioengineering at Penn. We take this opportunity to look back on our Department's history and take note of our present research and accomplishments. As one of the country's oldest departments in bioengineering, we thank the four pioneering faculty members who took a few bold steps into unmarked territory, paving the way for the nearly 20 faculty members in our Department today. In addition to our outstanding faculty, the students of bioengineering are incredibly talented in the field; additionally, they strive to create a wonderful sense of community in the department. We have some of the most active student groups on campus: the Graduate Association of Bioengineering (GABE) and the undergraduate Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES). As our alumni and friends, you reflect both the accomplishments of our past and the potential for our future. Stop by to visit whenever you are in the area, and send us news about your latest plans, as we are eager to share our collective achievements with the greater Penn community. David F. Meaney S. R. Pollack Professor and Chair
Bioengineering Students Win Senior Design Competition Pictured above is this year's class of Bioengineering Senior Design students, who have worked throughout the academic year on self-designed projects in a wide range of topics. The students above were gathered for their final presentations this spring. At the end of April, the Penn Engineering Alumni Society sponsored the annual Senior Design Project Competition, where the top three Senior Design groups from each of the six Penn Engineering Departments competed for prizes. This year, one of the Bioengineering Senior Design groups won first prize. Seniors Nicki Blumenfeld, Anna Brzezinski, Brian Horwich, and Zach Shurden (all BSE'13) impressed the panel of judges with the vibrotactile feedback device they designed for use with elongated electrocautery tools typically used in laparoscopic surgeries. This technology provides an alternative type of feedback to the typical sensory feedback lost in laparoscopic surgeries; it has the potential to improve the 1 in 200 complication rate associated with these

surgeries. The winning group, self-named HapTech, has even applied for a provisional patent for their design. Regarding the entire Senior Design process, Blumenfeld said, "Senior Design was a true culmination of our experience in engineering, and it was really rewarding to be able to pull together the different pieces of our BE background." Horwich added, "One of the greatest things I learned through Senior Design is that you don't realize how good it feels to design something and then have it actually work." The group members all recalled the moment of elation after the planning and programming were complete, and the device actually functioned as intended. continued on page 3… 1
40 Years of Bioengineering at Penn The story of the Department of Bioengineering at Penn actually begins over half a century ago. Throughout the 1950s, Herman Schwann, Ph.D., a chair and professor in what would later be Penn's Department of Bioengineering, urged for and then eventually received University approval to establish an independent Ph.D. program in biomedical electronic engineering. This was the first such Ph.D. program in the country, and made Penn the first to award a doctorate in bioengineering. Over a decade later, in 1973, the Biomedical Electronic Engineering Department, which had only included graduate studies, was renamed the Bioengineering Department, and a full undergraduate program was added to the existing graduate studies. Solomon Pollack, Ph.D., a former professor in the Department of Metallurgy and Materials Science, now called the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, had also been mentoring
graduate students in bioengineering for a number of years prior to the establishment of the formal Department. Pollack said his students felt drawn to the emerging field that focused on the interaction between materials and living systems, such as the human body. "The excitement, the importance, the newness…it resonated with them. They were adventurous," he said. Other adventurous faculty members joined the new department at its start, including Mitchell Litt, Ph.D., from Chemical Engineering, and Abraham Noordergraaf, Ph.D., from Mechanical Engineering. These early faculty members took great risk leaving their home departments, mostly because promotion and tenure decisions were based on reputation in the field; bioengineering was a completely new field, where everyone was treading new ground, and scientists were just beginning to find collaborations and connections.
As a new Department, the first priority was developing the undergraduate program, one of the first in the nation. With such a unique field that merged so many topics, striking the balance between adequate coverage and a reasonable course load was a challenge. Drs. Litt and Pollack worked tirelessly to develop the undergraduate program: an academically demanding framework covering the basics of the engineering fields and their intersections with medicine, all with a rigorous basis in mathematics. The Department quickly flourished and grew from just a handful of undergraduates and Ph.D. students in 1975 to over 300 undergraduates, over 100 master's students, and over 100 Ph.D. students this spring. The faculty's interests range from optogenetics to regenerative medicine to biomimetics and more. With an average ranking of sixth in the nation over the last ten years by U.S. News & World Report, Penn's Bioengineering Department has continued its history of growth and success.
New Method Measures Chromosome Structure and Gene Expression
EEF2 intron EEF2 mRNA Chr. 19
iceFISH simultaneously measures chromosome structure and gene expression in a single cell. This image is of a primary human fibroblast cell with chr19 highlighted as cyan. A gene called EEF2 is shown to be actively producing RNA as the white spot within each cyan chromosome and messenger RNA for EEF in magenta are filling up the cell's cytoplasm.
Ph.D. student Marshall Levesque was recently published in Nature Methods. Co-authored with Arjun Raj, Ph.D., the paper is titled, "Single-chromosome transcriptional profiling reveals chromosomal gene expression regulation." Their research focuses on how the spatial and genomic organization of chromosomes can affect gene expression. They developed a method called intron chromosomal expression FISH (iceFISH) that assigns gene expression to individual chromosome copies within the nuclei of single cells. Using iceFISH, Levesque and Raj found that translocations, a hallmark of cancer, can cause chromosome-scale disturbances to gene expression. These measurements were not possible prior to iceFISH.
The authors write, "iceFISH provides a complement to chromosome conformation assays that look for interactions at the DNA (rather than transcriptional) level. We believe that iceFISH and similar tools will allow us to determine the prevalence of these chromosome-level regulatory phenomena and uncover their underlying mechanisms." Levesque, a native of southern California, recently presented related research at the qPCR & Next Generation Sequencing Conference, held at Technische Universität München in Munich, Germany. Levesque says of his pursuits in the field of bioengineering: "I enjoy the cross-discipline nature of the field and building tools that enhance our understanding of biology."
Dynamic Student Activities The following sections highlight the goals and accomplishments of the tremendously active student groups in the Department of Bioengineering.
The Graduate Association of Bioengineering
GABE officers gather in Quain Courtyard, between Skirkanich and Levine Halls.
The Graduate Association of Bioengineering (GABE) aims to promote academic and social interaction among graduate bioengineering students, and works hard to improve the graduate group community. GABE hosts numerous social, academic and outreach events each year, and has a pivotal role in the graduate recruiting efforts of the Department, showing those who are considering Penn the many reasons why it is a top choice.
This year, GABE held its inaugural GABE Seminar Series, with the support of the department. The purpose of the series was to address relevant topics and skills needed by graduate students and to increase student-faculty interaction. Two faculty members were invited to each talk, and a graduate student liaison facilitated discussion over lunch. Some of this year's topics included How to Manage Your Advisor (Dr. Kelly Jordan-Sciutto & Dr. Beth Winkelstein), How and Why to Prepare an Elevator Speech (Dr. Kristy Arbogast & Dr. Doug Smith), and How to Sit Through a Seminar You Don't Care About (Dr. Jerry Glickson & Dr. Louis Soslowsky). GABE President Sarah Ilkhani-Pour, a Ph.D. student in the lab of Louis Soslowsky, says, "The seminar series was a success and GABE plans to continue the series next year, making it an annual tradition."
The Biomedical Engineering Society The Biomedical Engineering Society's mission is to expose undergraduate students to bioengineering both inside and outside of academia, and also act as liaison between faculty and students. This spring, BMES was awarded the Engineering Student Activities Council's Club of the Year Award for its exceptional Dr. Dave Meaney and the BMES Board smile for the camera just prior to the "Pie Your programming and outreach. A few recent Professor" event March 14 (Pi Day); the event events include "Dogs & Devices," was co-sponsored by GABE as a fundraiser where engineering students came for their American Cancer Society Relay together to build a scent wheel for the for Life team. Penn Vet Working Dog Center; periodic "study breaks" and advising sessions with advising staff; the "Pie Your Professor" event (co-sponsored by GABE); and information sessions on summer internships, graduate school (co-organized with GABE) and study abroad. Liz Feeney, BSE'14, currently serves as BMES President, and says that the BMES officers find it rewarding to plan events "emphasizing a commitment to community service, professional and academic development, and creating lasting relationships with peers and professors."
Bioengineering Students Win Senior Design Competition continued from page 1… Although the HapTech group experienced unparalleled success, other groups in this year's class developed a number of fascinating projects. One project resulted in a wearable device to assess the potential for injury to the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in the knee. Another group developed a project on red blood cell delivery mechanisms of anti-inflammatory agents for the treatment of sepsis. Yet another group developed a pipette and liquid transfer system at significantly lower cost than existing systems on today's market. Michael Rizk, Ph.D., Senior Lecturer in Bioengineering, says, "Something that's really neat about Senior Design is that it really runs the breadth of bioengineering. From projects in a wet lab with cells, to electrical engineering devices, to mechanical projects, you get the whole scope of bioengineering. Any two projects may look very different." The Senior Design coursework is a requirement for all undergraduates in the Bachelor of Science in Engineering curriculum. Contrary to what the name may imply, brainstorming for the course actually begins in the spring of the junior year, when students are encouraged to think about team members and project ideas. The following fall begins with several weeks of lectures on the design process, differentiating design from research. Throughout the two semesters of senior year, Michael Rizk, Ph.D., and Beth Winkelstein, Ph.D., Professor of Bioengineering, guide the students through brainstorming the idea, doing the background research, setting the specifications, and developing the product or system. Winkelstein says, "A constant theme in our promoting Senior Design is that it's about the students – they do the conceptualizing, the work, and the finalizing."

Jeff Staple Talks to PSFK
One of our fascinations on PSFK is about the growing number of creative entrepreneurs who feel they have the ability and the right to apply their talent to whatever industry they feel. Jeff Staple is seen as a leader of this movement, and with Staple Design, he and his team continue creating sought after retail, product-design and consultancy. We asked him to tell us a little about himself and what he's up to now.
Jeff, you seem to have many fingers in many pies. What's your main passion right now? What's coming next?
Well, I find almost every "pie" I have my fingers in as being passionate. Everything to some degree is fun and I try to keep everything Staple Design that way. Something recently that is particularly fun to work on is Reed Pages. Reed Space, our store in the Lower East Side of NYC has been doing very well and it continues to go strong. We will now release a publication at the end of this year to celebrate everything revolving around the universe of Staple and Reed Space. I love editorial design and I have a fond passion for print magazines. So this is something that is really cool to work on.
You seem to be part of this generation of creative entrepreneurs who seem to feel try their hand at anything. Do you feel that like you're part of a movement? What's driving this – from both a cultural and a technical point of view?
I honestly couldn't say. I don't feel like I'm part of a movement. I don't know how other people go about their lives and business. From my point of view, I can only say that I like to be daring and try new things. I trust my instincts more and more and now if I want to do something, I just do it. There is always inherent risk, but I take a moment to weigh those risks and usually pull the trigger.
In terms of your peers, who's really making things happen with their creative work? Why?
You think I have a lot pies going? Check out Hiroshi Fujiwara's life. He is really an inspiration, a mentor and a great friend. He curates his own life perfectly. He doesn't do anything he doesn't want to do. Enjoys everything he is involved in and hence, everything going for him is something he is passionate about.
Thanks, Jeff!
