This microscopy image provided by Dr. Carl June, shows immune system T-cells, center, binding to beads which cause the cells to divide. The beads, depicted in yellow, are later removed, leaving pure T-cells which are then ready for infusion to the cancer patients. Scientists are reporting the first clear success with gene therapy to treat leukemia, using the patients' own blood cells to hunt down and wipe out their cancer. They've only done it in three patients so far, but the results were striking: two appear cancer-free up to a year after treatment, and the third had a partial response. Scientists are already preparing to try the approach in other kinds of cancer.

[EUROPEAN RACES] The top four teams in the English Premier League all won, leaving teams in the same places at the top of the standings with three weeks to play.
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson made seven changes from the team that beat Arsenal, 1-0, on Wednesday, but United still won, 2-0,
at Middlesbrough on goals by Ryan Giggs and Park Ji-Sung.
United leads Liverpool, a 3-0 winner over
Newcastle, by three points with a game in hand.
Third-place Chelsea, which faces Barcelona Wednesday in the second leg of their Champions League semifinal series, downed West London
rival Fulham, 3-1.
Arsenal, which faces Manchester United in the Champions League on Tuesday, downed Portsmouth, 3-0.
Bosnian Edin Dzeko scored a hat trick in 12 minutes to help first-place Wolfsburg beat Hoffenheim, 4-0. Wolfsburg, which has never won the Bundesliga
title, opened up a three-point gap when Hertha Berlin and Hamburg settled for a 1-1 draw. In Jupp Heynckes' first game since returning as interim coach,
Bayern Munich beat Borussia Moenchengladbach, 2-1, to take over second place.
FRANCE. Marseille had to settle for a 2-2 tie with Toulouse at home
and is now tied with Bordeaux at the top of the standings.
French international Andre-Pierre Gignac twice put Toulouse ahead, but Senegalese Mamadou Niang responded with two goals for Marseille, which hasn't won the French league title since the era of disgraced owner Bernard Tapie.

A sophisticated network of scammers who pretended to recruit for Harrods to prey on jobseekers and empty thousands of pounds from their accounts have been convicted, a court official has confirmed.
Members of the gang placed bogus adverts on the Gumtree website purporting to be from the upmarket retailer, waiting for responses from unwitting applicants.
The fraudsters then replied to the job hopefuls, asking for email addresses and CVs, the Old Bailey was previously told.
Armed with personal data, some of it gleaned from a secret computer malware virus sent to the applicants, members of the gang were able to hack into bank accounts.
In one case, a member of the public had £21,000 withdrawn from his account, the court heard.
Ajibola Akinlabi, Olalekan Awosile, Folasade Balogun and Damilare Oduwole, who are all of Nigerian descent but were living in south London, were found guilty of conspiracy to defraud along with British man Tyrone Ellis, a court spokesman said.
Akinlabi's brother Babatunde Akinlabi was cleared of conspiracy to defraud by the jury following an eight-week trial.
The offences took place between January 2010 and December 2012.
Prosecutor Walton Hornsby said members of the gang used "mules" to intercept replacement bank cards ordered by senior figures in the network, unbeknown to their victims.
Other mules, also known as "foot soldiers", were used to withdraw money from bank accounts.
Mr Hornsby described Oduwole, of West Dulwich, as "the leader" in the scam.
The prosecutor told the trial: "The job adverts were posing as someone called Paul Simon, the 'human resources director at Harrods'.
"He would say there was a position available, and that he wanted them (the potential victims) to forward their email addresses and CV."
Police traced the adverts to computers used at Oduwole's home address.
Upon searching the one-bedroom flat, officers discovered a Mac laptop containing a document in draft form which the prosecution said was intended for the website.
Oduwole said his long-time friend and occasional lodger, Paul Cole, had been working on the document but had left the property to go to the gym. Police later found there was no evidence that Oduwole knew a man by that name.
Mr Hornsby said: "The prosecution say Paul Cole is a phantom. He is a ghost individual - he does not exist.
"He ('Cole') is a desperate attempt - the only way Mr Oduwole could explain how this running computer could have been there.
"If there is a smoking gun, this is surely it."
The guilty men will be sentenced at the Old Bailey later this month.Reuse content

Holocaust Archive To Be Commemorated in Warsaw
A monument commemorating the Ringelblum Archive will be built on Nowolipki Street in Warsaw, where it was hidden during the war.
Emanuel Ringelblum led a secret operation code-named Oyneg Shabbos while living in the Warsaw Ghetto, in the basement of the building at 68 Nowolipki St., between August 1942 and February 1943. Ringelblum, along with other Jewish writers, scientists and neighbors, gathered newspapers, leaflets, posters, photos, drawings, notes, diaries and literary works that documented the extermination of the Jews.
The 25,000-document archive buried in metal boxes and milk cans was taken from the ruins of the ghetto in 1946 and 1955. In 1999, UNESCO placed the Ringelblum Archive on its list of the most important documents of humanity.

The Elephant to Hollywood
by Michael Caine
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A very well written memoir from one of my favorite actors. It is really amazing how so many of the early British actors came from such humble working class backgrounds.
A very well written memoir from one of my favorite actors. It is really amazing how so many of the early British actors came from such humble working class backgrounds.
OK and easy to read, but drags a bit from the half way mark - more a of book for his family than the general population from that point on.
Personally I think you should write one autobiography in your life and have done with it - Or write a wickedly funny trilogy - But please let's not take three quarters of book one and regurgitate it into book two, add a little bit and expect to sell it!!! Autobiography one, 'What's it all about," was a great read. Full Stop. Autobiography two, 'From the Elephant to Hollywood' doesn't come close. 'The Elephant to Hollywood,' should have been full of previously unknown grit and emotions and anecdotes and real life and marched on from 'What's it all about' and focused in depth on the past twenty years of Mr. Caine's life and looked at the man, his feelings, the pain he was going through and how he emerged and celebrated the roles Mr. Caine has taken on during that time … which would have been a way more interesting and meaningful read. Instead Mr. Caine takes his first book, regurgitate three quarters into his second book, adds a little bit and expects us to be pleased Likewise, the list of famous people Mr. Caine has undisputedly met and worked with and come described as his best friends sounds like name dropping, which is sad!!! … and finally, there are parts of the book that are genuinely, incredibly irritating; as in, when Mr. Caine tells you, "I was sitting in the Connaught Hotel in London one evening having dinner on my own," and you feel like screaming, ' Why can't you just say, I was sitting having dinner on my own in some hotel or other!!!!"I'm sorry Michael, I am genuinely a HUGE fan but this book does you no favors and it's not about 'envy' as you suggest (in this book) that motivates men to post bad reviews. I would love to write a glowing review … but … 'What's it all about," I assume it took much longer for you to write and as such was way more thought filled and as such, insightful ... Book two feels as if it was genuinely much easier for you to write - when you were looking for something to do - and as such disappoints on more than one level!!!!
Read by author. Only okay. A lot of name dropping. Not much about feelings.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0805093907, Hardcover)
Charming, engaging, and surprisingly forthright, Michael Caine gives us his insider's view of Hollywood and the story of his brilliant second act
When he was in his late fifties, Michael Caine believed his glamorous, rags-to-riches Hollywood career had come to an end. The scripts being sent his way were worse and worse. When one script really disappointed, he called the producer to complain about the part. The producer said, "No, no, we don't want you for the lover, we want you for the father." Salvation came in the unlikely form of his old friend Jack Nicholson, who convinced him to give acting one more shot. What followed was not only an incredible personal transformation but also one of the most radical comebacks in film history. Learning to accept his new role both on camera and in his own life, Caine went on to win his second Oscar, be knighted by the queen, and deliver some of his best performances to date. Now he shares the spectacular story of his life, from his humble upbringing in London's poverty-stricken Elephant and Castle, his military service, touching marriage and family life, and lively adventures with friends, to legendary meetings with fellow stars, forays as a restaurateur, and hilarious off-screen encounters from his glittering five-decade career. Caine brings his gift for storytelling and his insider's view to a tale that is funny, warm, and deeply honest.

Carrie Underwood: JFK Airport Cutie
Gearing up for an outbound flight, Carrie Underwood was spotted at JFK International Airport today (May 2).
The "Good Girl" songstress looked cute and casual in a grey sweatshirt with jeans as she carried her massive handbag into the terminal.
Carrie's new album Blown Away hit stores yesterday, and she told press that the new songs will definitely be material her listeners can relate to.
"There are some definite sweeter songs on the album, but I think the ones that are most impactful are the ones that are...the more drama[tic] songs. It's fun to play a character. It's fun to not be me all the time. I am in a wonderful relationship. I have a great home life...If I had 14 tracks on the album talking about how wonderful my life is...it's boring."
Enjoy the pictures of Carrie Underwood catching a flight at JFK Airport (May 2).

An extensive thread of posts concerning the cancellation of the Met's HD Live showings of the Met's production of John Adams's opera The Death of Klinghoffer developed on the venerable opera listserve Opera-L recently in which thread we offered our thinking not on that opera in particular but generally on operas grounded in real, historical events still alive in living memory. We reprint below what we wrote there simply to make it part of the S&F record.
I've never seen _Klinghoffer_ and was looking forward to the HD telecast of the opera just to discover what all the fuss was about. That now looks like an event unlikely to take place. There is, however, something I can say about such operas generally (i.e., operas grounded in real, historical events still alive in living memory which would include Adams's _Nixon_ and _Dr. Atomic_) which is that as intended works of art they're a really bad idea from the get-go. The reason for that is that it's all but impossible for a viewer to, at least subconsciously, NOT overlay and/or graft his thinking, biases, and prejudices concerning what was true or perceived as true about the historical case and its surrounding context onto the operas even though the operas themselves may not even so much as have touched on any particular point(s) in question. Once that happens, the work instantly degenerates into propaganda (agitprop) and so becomes, poetically and aesthetically, of little value or worth in its totality as an artwork. Such was true of _Nixon_ and _Dr. Atomic_ (the latter of which two operas has some sumptuous and genuinely beautiful music) both of which operas I did see. Opera creators would do well to stay away — far away — from involving themselves in the creation of such operas — unless, of course, it's their intention to create such Brechtian-poisoned crap.

Steve Harmison and Monty Panesar took vital late wickets on day three as England revived their hopes of winning the first Test against India in Nagpur.
A 128-run stand between Mohammad Kaif and Anil Kumble allowed India to recover from 190-7 but both fell just before stumps to leave India 322-9.
Matthew Hoggard (5-57) was in superb form during the first session after overnight rain enlivened the pitch.
With England still leading by 71 runs, they are the team with the advantage.
Both Kaif and Kumble profited from dropped catches early in their innings which, if taken, would have left the hosts in a very awkward situation.
Having made just 18, Kaif - who ultimately fell nine runs short of a maiden Test century - drove Andrew Flintoff back to the bowler.
But the skipper could not quite complete a tough chance falling away to his right.
Geraint Jones' error was a bad one, though, spilling a regulation outside edge when Kumble had scored just nine.
Harmison was the bowler left gritting his teeth and the batsman went on to score 58 - his best effort in 14 Tests against England.
Hoggard had grabbed the morning headlines, when a bit of dampness and mist allowed him to move the ball about.
India captain Rahul Dravid, with centuries in his three previous Test innings against England, was unable to add to his overnight 40 when India began on 136-1.
Hoggard dismissed him in the third over of the morning. His appeal for lbw was upheld by Aleem Dar although replays suggested the ball may have missed leg-stump.
There was no doubt about the next wicket, though, when the Yorkshire man struck again in his following over as Jaffer (81) drove straight to Flintoff at second slip.
The very next ball, Hoggard struck again, with VVS Laxman unable to get his bat to a another inswinger which struck his pad in front of middle-and-off.
Again, though the decision looked straightforward to the naked eye, exhaustive TV analysis suggested an inside edge which may or may not have occurred after the ball had thudded into the pads.
Either way, the onus was on Sachin Tendulkar and Kaif to rescue a worrying situation.
But the "Little Master" had only reached 16 when debutant Panesar claimed a famous victim for his maiden Test wicket, by persuading Dar to raise his finger once again.
This time, Tendulkar played with his bat behind his pad, and replays showed the decision was a good one.
Mahendra Dhoni, regarded as a fine hitter, was in no mood to play defensively and when he drove loosely at Flintoff a thin edge behind put India in dire straits.
Soon after lunch, when Irfan Pathan edged Hoggard into the slips, the English lions were rampant.
But Kaif and Kumble had other ideas. Both men started patiently at first before Kaif drove Hoggard for two fine boundaries just before tea and despatched Ian Blackwell for two more just after the interval.
Kumble hit two delicate late cuts off Panesar for four before going through a more fortuitous phase against the seamers when edges narrowly evaded the fielders and the stumps.
With the heat taking its toll on England's bowlers, Harmison finally persuaded Kumble to nick to first slip, where Alastair Cook took his first catch at this level.
And in the next over, a ripper from Panesar, pitching on middle and taking the top of off-stump, ended Kaif's six hour vigil.

O'Reilly Finally Plays Defense For News Corp.; Hannity Still Silent
Blog ››› ››› TODD GREGORY
After weeks of ignoring News Corp.'s phone hacking scandal, Bill O'Reilly finally covered the issue on his show last night. His coverage consisted of a report from Amy Kellogg, who has been reporting on the topic for Fox News from London, and a discussion with Heritage Foundation senior fellow Nile Gardiner:
In all, the segment ran for about seven minutes, and O'Reilly used most of the discussion with Gardiner to spin the scandal away. (O'Reilly falsely claimed that there hasn't been any "intrusion of this story thus far on News Corp. properties" in the U.S. In reality, Les Hinton, CEO of News Corp.'s Dow Jones division, resigned as a result of the fallout.)
Meanwhile, Sean Hannity ignored the scandal on his Fox News show yet again. Since the story escalated over the Fourth of July weekend, Hannity hasn't mentioned it at all.

1997 Catera Replacement Stereo
First off.. Long time reader, first time poster...
I have a 1997 Catera.. Owned it since 99'.. I have the stock tape player in the front, and a changer in the Trunk (Not to mention onboard computer).. Well, the changer died, and I would like to put in the Delco/Bose stock CD/Tape Head unit in.. I belive they started making the dual unit for the 1998 Cateras, so I am wondering if you fellas would know if it would fit into my car?
Here is a link to the Ebay Auction of the Stereo that I wish to purchase:
Also, how much of a deal would it be to replace the stereo? I assume that the black plastic piece that surrounds the stereo/HVAC controls (Where the seat heater, TCS, Hazard, Trunk and Gas Cap buttons are) could be removed with a gentle pry of a screwdriver.. If I have to rip apart the whole dash, I may think twice..
Thanks in advance..

OK Changed mind so which Pex brand
Which Pex Brand to use for re-plumb?
Where to buy?
Crimp, clasp or what?
We bought Sharkbite brand PEX from HD because it was cheapest. The 1/2" and 1" was easy to deal with. The 3/4" was a pain to work with (real stiff) though.
We also went with copper crimp rings. No scientific reason, just didn't think the clamps would hold as well. And I for sure wouldn't use "push-fit" connections!
Got the Apollo crimp tool from Lowes. Used Lowes Apollo crimp rings and fittings too, just because they are closer to our house. Zero failed crimps, fortunately.
This topic has been discussed ad nauseum on this forum, do a search for PEX or similar titles and you will find many threads. Opinions vary widely on the topic, personally I used Wirsbo tubing with Wirsbo fittings and was very happy with the results, but the tool is expensive. Read the threads, see what others think of crimp fittings and sharkbites.
199 Attachment(s)
BTW- I tried searching "pex" on here- the word is too short and it upsets the search function.Try some of the brand names, etc.
As much as you dislike folks that dont use the search, I dislike folks that make comments like this then go on to answer the OP.

RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) - Vermont health officials are looking for volunteers for a study of Eastern equine encephalitis.
Matthew Thomas of the Vermont Department of Health says officials hope to learn more about how prevalent the mosquito-transmitted virus is in Vermont. Two men, one from Brandon and the other from Sudbury, died last year in Vermont's first human cases of EEE.
Thomas tells the Rutland Herald that the plan is to draw blood from 150 to 200 volunteers at clinics in Brandon, Whiting and Sudbury.
The first clinic is April 23 in Brandon, with the Sudbury and Whiting clinics set for May 14.
Blood specimens will be sent to the federal Centers for Disease Control for testing, with the results coming back to Vermont for analysis.

The Simple Genius of IBM
With shares of International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM) trading at around $201.75, is IBM an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
C = Catalyst for the Stock's Movement
People who make predictions are swindlers! Well…not exactly, if the prediction is based on research and factual numbers. Some analysts actually have an impressive track record. However, even if you don't believe that humans are capable of making accurate predictions, then maybe you at least believe that machines are capable of such a feat. If that's the case, then you might want to consider an investment in IBM.
IBM's Big Data & Analytics segment can help predict patterns and/or changes in customer behavior. This is highly detailed information that would take humans eons to perfect. IBM originally expected revenue of $16 billion for Big Data & Analytics by 2015. That estimate has now been raised to $20 billion. IBM's two other big growth initiatives are cloud computing and Smarter Planet.
IBM is a highly diversified company with phenomenal management. For example, since 2010, IBM has made 35 acquisitions for approximately $12 billion. This is impressive and has helped fuel growth. What's more impressive is that IBM divested many of its underperforming assets over the past 10 years, saving it $15 billion. Therefore, the company has a net gain through acquisitions and divestments before any potential growth seen through acquisitions, because it was willing to cut the cord on what wasn't working. IBM's strategy of continuously pouring money into successful segments of the business and growing through innovations and acquisitions while "getting rid of the bad" is what gives IBM that simple genius reputation.
Let's take a look at some more important numbers prior to forming an opinion on this stock.
E = Equity to Debt Ratio Is Normal
The debt-to-equity ratio for IBM is higher than the industry average of 0.70. The balance sheet is in negative territory. However, operating cash flow is phenomenal at $19.60 billion. Levered free cash flow is also very impressive at $15.72 billion.
T = Technicals on the Stock Chart Are Strong
IBM has outperformed Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE:HPQ) and Dell Inc. (NASDAQ:DELL) over three-year and one-year timeframes. That trend has changed as of late, but Dell and Hewlett-Packard are going to see bigger moves. IBM is the large, steady ship in the sea. As far as dividend yield, Dell yields 2.30 percent, Hewlett-Packard yields 2.70 percent and IBM yields 1.70 percent.
At $200.83, IBM is currently trading above all its averages.
|50-Day SMA
|100-Day SMA
|200-Day SMA
E = Earnings Have Been Consistent
It's not often that you find a company with consistent earnings growth on an annual basis for five consecutive years. Revenue hasn't been as consistent, but it's still impressive in a macro sense.
When we look at the last quarter on a year-over-year basis, we see a slight decline in revenue and a moderate increase in earnings.
Now let's take a look at the next page for the Conclusion. Is this stock an OUTPERFORM, a WAIT AND SEE, or a STAY AWAY?
T = Trends Support the Industry
IBM has five segments, which are Global Technology Services, Global Business Services, Software, Systems and Technology and Global Financing. This strong diversification leads to a high probability of a positive trend somewhere. The only real threat is a complete economic collapse.
IBM is currently trading at 14 times earnings, which is well below the industry average of 24 times earnings. Margins are solid, cash flow is superb, earnings growth is consistent and there is a 1.70 percent yield. There's a lot to like. A pullback is definitely possible, but IBM is for investors interested in the long haul, and over the long haul, IBM is a winner.
IBM is a long-term OUTPERFORM.

Fourstardave Handicap (gr. IIT) winner Wise Dan turned in his first work back since the Aug. 11 test, blazing a sensational four furlongs in :45.89 Aug. 24 on the Oklahoma turf at Saratoga Race Course.
The work, best of 45 at the distance, was timed for five furlongs in :56 3/5 by trainer Charles Lopresti, with a six-furlong gallop out in 1:10.
"I was looking for a :48 second work, in hand," said Lopresti, who is pointing Morton Fink's 5-year-old son of Wiseman's Ferry to the $1 million Woodbine Mile (gr. IT) Sept. 23. "He's just a freak of nature. You never want a horse to go that fast for his first work after a race, but if you don't have a watch on him, you don't know. He's just galloping."

Well IPONZ, the Intellectual Property Office, have opened up a can of worms in accepting that the words 'KA MATE' and a logo featuring those words can be trademarked.
This follows the mandated authority for Ngati Toa, Te Runanga O Toa Rangatira Inc unsuccessfully trying from 1998 to 2006 to win trademark registration for the entire words to Ka Mate, the well-known All Black haka, and spur-of-the-moment performance given by overseas kiwis. It is also the subject of various other renditions from YouTube lego to advertising take offs.
Originally IPONZ ruled that the words were in the public domain and could not be monopolised as no one particular organisation could be identified as the trade source of goods or services promoted in conjunction with this haka. In other words, it wasn't a 'brand' capable of distinguishing your activities from those of others.
On that basis, Ka Mate's genie was well and truly out of the lamp. For the majority of people, this haka is part of our cultural identity.
As Chapman Tripp partner Matt Sumpter points out, while expressing surprise at IPONZ's decision, it's a bit like the words 'kiwi' or 'Aotearoa', or the shape of the NZ coast line being trademarked. They're words and images which no one can own.
His argument is that words like Ka Mate have fallen into the public domain.
Sure, for new artistic work, or the words of a new haka (e.g. the alternate All Black haka Kapa o Pango) copyright can protect the performance and communication of dance and other work in and to the public. That lasts for the life of the author plus 50 years.
And copyright protection also requires identification of a precise author – pretty tricky in Ka Mate's case.
Now, apparently the NZ Rugby Football Union and another trading company have opposed the IPONZ decision on the KA MATE trademark issue in proceedings pending before Commissioner of Trade Marks.
That will be an extremely interesting test case.
Heaven forbid though that we start seeing cease and desist letters to those before mentioned YouTube lego 'films' and advertisements. That would be just the type of publicity NZ Inc, we who 'own' (if such a thing is possible) our cultural experience, would really want.
Given that our cultural image overseas is one of not being much fun to do business dealing with (see Tony Smale's research findings here), it would be just the type of po-facedness (if there is such a word) we could do without.
Surely too, it comes down to the idea that the only kind of bad publicity is no publicity…..just don't spell my name wrong.
If Ngati Toa were a bit more creative, there would be other ways to take advantage of, or link to the historical luck that had Ka Mate chosen by the 1905 All Blacks as its pre-match performance.
Then again, maybe the Runanga's really happy to pay lawyers to police what's in the public domain.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi and welcome to our site!In general - yes - a "Special Needs Trust" is an irrevocable trust which is a separate legal and taxing entity.If the trust recognizes a capital gain (or any other taxable income) - that income is reported on trust;s income tax return - form 1041 - and after allowable deductions - the trust might be liable for for income taxes on that income.As long as income is realized - it doesn't matter how proceeds are used - to purchase another house or any different way. Taxation of Special Needs Trust might be very complex and I strongly suggest to have a local CPA helping you.You may use this publication as a reference - http://www.elder-law.com/files/SNTtaxation.pdf
Oh, okay. So it is taxable then. Would the taxes be as high as a "normal" capital gain or is it lower?
I am not the person who you think I am ....I am notCustomer!!!
How did that name get on my computer question?
Hmm... that is something I may not know - I will report that to customer support to investigate...Sorry - experts do not have access to your account.
If that is a long term capital gain - it will be taxed at reduced rate - not more than 15%.
What would determine a long term capital gain. The property was purchased at least 20 years ago and my sister had it under her name. My mother got it back into the Special Needs Trust on May of this year.
If the Special Needs Trust PURCHASED the property on May of this year - that would be a short term capital gain - and the purchase price should be used to determine the capital gain.If the property was contributed by your sister as a GIFT - the donor's basis will be used to calculate the capital gain - and that will be a long term capital gain.
Oh, okay. Thank you for your service. Have a good night.
Appreciate your warm words. I am glad to be helpful.

Book Reading/Signing: We Are Iraqis: Aesthetics and Politics in a Time of War - Alwan for the Arts
Hours: 7pm (doors at 6:30)
Ages: All
Price: $5 suggested donation at the door
16 Beaver St., 4th Floor - 646-732-3261
New York, NY 10005
Description: We Are Iraqis: Aesthetics and Politics in a Time of War, Edited by Nadje Al-Ali and Deborah Al-Najjar (Syracuse University Press, 2012) While the occupation of Iraq and its aftermath has received some media and political attention, we know very little about the everyday lives of Iraqis. Iraqi men, women, and children are not merely passive victims of violence, vulnerable recipients of repressive regimes, or bystanders of their countries destruction. In the face of danger and trauma, Iraqis continue to cope, preparing food, sending their children to school, socializing, telling jokes, and dreaming of a better future. Within the realm of imagination and creative expression, the editors find that many Iraqi artists have not only survived, but also have sought healing. In We Are Iraqis, Al-Ali and Al-Najjar showcase the written and visual contributions by Iraqi artists, writers, poets, filmmakers, photographers, and activists. Contributors explore the way Iraqis retain, subvert, and produce art and activism as ways of coping with despair, resisting chaos and destruction. The first anthology of its kind, We Are Iraqis brings into focus the multitude of ethnicities, religions, and experiences that are all part of Iraq. **** Speaker Bios: Nadje Al-Ali is professor of gender studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London. Her publications include Iraqi Women: Untold Stories from 1948 to the Present and What Kind of Liberation? Women and the Occupation of Iraq (coauthored with Nicola Pratt). Deborah Al-Najjar is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California. Ella Shohat is Professor of Cultural Studies at New York University. Her books include Taboo Memories, Diasporic Voices, Talking Visions: Multicultural Feminism in a Transnational Age, and with Robert Stam Unthinking Eurocentrism: Multiculturalism and the Media and Flagging Patriotism: Crises of Narcissism and Anti-Americanism. Dena Al-Adeeb is an artist/writer born in Baghdad, Iraq. She is currently pursing a Ph.D. in Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, Culture and Representation Track, at New York University. She received her M.A. in Anthropology-Sociology at the American University in Cairo and B.A. in International Relations with a concentration in Women Studies and Middle Eastern Studies at San Francisco State University. Al-Adeeb works in a variety of media including installation, painting, sculpting, video, photography, sound and performance. Her work has been presented in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland, Berkeley, Michigan/U.S.A, Örebro/Sweden, Cairo/Egypt, Dubai,/U.A.E, Tunis/ Tunisia and at the Headlands Center for the Arts, Worth Ryder Gallery at University of California-Berkeley, Örebro International Videoart Festival, Darb 1718, Falaki Gallery, Mashrabia Gallery, Karim Francis Gallery, Bastakiya Art Fair, Galerie le Violon Bleu, Pro-Arts Gallery, the Arab American National Museum, Museum of Latin American Art, Museum of Modern Art, Tunis, among others. Her work has also been published in Alif: Journal of Comparative Poetics, The Color of Violence Anthology, Arab and Arab American Feminisms: Gender, Violence and Belonging Anthology, We Are Iraqis: Aesthetics and Politics in a Time of War, Contemporary Practices Journal and Art Dubai Journal, among others. **** Reviews & Press "Creativity is a form of resistance. This is the exhilarating message running through We Are Iraqis. Here is a rare chance for us all to see war's effects in looted museums, pain-filled poetry, exiled studios, where, against the odds, Iraqi artists refuse to be silenced or pushed into the shadows." —Cynthia Enloe, author of Nimo's War, Emma's War:Making Feminist Sense of the Iraq War "A very important contribution to the fields of peace, resistance, and war. The book highlights the voices of Iraqi cultural producers and actors, providing them with a space to speak on their own behalf." —Zeina Zaatari, Senior Program Officer, the Global Fund for Women

An amateur scientist has captured what Loch Ness Monster watchers say is among the finest footage ever taken of the elusive mythical creature reputed to swim beneath the waters of Scotland's most mysterious lake:
"I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this jet black thing, about 45-feet (15 meters) long, moving fairly fast in the water," said Gordon Holmes, the 55-year-old a lab technician from Shipley, Yorkshire, who took the video this past Saturday.
He said it moved at about 6 mph (10 kph) and kept a fairly straight course.
"My initial thought is it could be a very big eel, they have serpent-like features and they may explain all the sightings in Loch Ness over the years."
Apparently the footage has been uploaded on YouTube, and you can view it here. There's another more dramatic footage of the so-called Nessie here… however, personally I think it's fake.

Longtime NAU Walkup Skydome Director and former women's basketball coach Dave Brown joined the Lumberjack Radio Network as the color commentator on all men's basketball home games in the 2008-09 season and is entering his third year on the broadcast team for the Lumberjacks. He joins the "Voice of the Lumberjacks" Mitch Strohman for each radio and television broadcast on the Lumberjack Radio Network, Fox College Sports, Universityhouse and FSN Arizona.
Brown is in his 29th year at NAU and his 21st as director of the J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome. He spent the spring semester of 2004 as the interim athletics director while maintaining his other campus responsibilities with the Skydome.
Brown has served in varying roles, including co-athletics director in the mid-1980s, but has been in his current position overseeing all operations of the Skydome since 1990. He also manages several special programs, including the university's scheduling of operations for Rolle Activity Center and Lumberjack Stadium.
Brown is also the NAU liaison with the Arizona Cardinals, coordinating and securing facilities for the teams' annual training camps in Flagstaff. He was the facility coordinator for the Pepsi Big Sky Conference men's basketball tournaments in 1997 and 1998, as well as the 1993, 1997, 2000 and 2003 Big Sky Conference indoor track and field meets. In 1993, Brown was named NAU student supervisor of the year.
Brown has recently overseen the Skydome roof and floor resurfacing projects and the upcoming Skydome renovation project in December 2010.
A former basketball and track athlete at New Mexico State, Brown arrived at NAU in 1983 as the women's head basketball coach, remaining on the sidelines through the 1989-90 season. He headed the 1985-86 Jacks that tallied the program's first winning season, a 17-8 mark with NAU Hall of Famers Mindy Sherred and Julie Hanks. He also served as associate athletics director and co-athletics director at NAU before assuming his current duties.
Before NAU, Brown was athletics director at Yavapai College in Prescott and Brophy College Prep in Phoenix. He coached at both schools and led the Yavapai men's basketball team to a fourth-place finish in the NJCAA Championships.
Brown, who holds bachelor's and master's degrees from NMSU, is a longtime member of Phi Delta Kappa and participates in Big Brothers. He is married to Louise, who is the associate director of the du Bois Conference Center on campus. The couple has two daughters: Leslie, married to Chicago Bulls general manager Gar Forman, and Jennifer Killeen, a registered nurse at Flagstaff Medical Center and flight nurse with Guardian Medical. They have three grandchildren, Braeden and Jaxson Forman and Peighton Killeen.

- How might I be exposed to thallium?

- Is there a medical test to show whether I've been exposed to thallium?
- Has the federal government made recommendations to protect human health?
- Where can I get more information?
How can thallium affect my health?
Exposure to high levels of thallium can result in harmful health effects. A study on workers exposed on the job over several years reported nervous system effects, such as numbness of fingers and toes, from breathing thallium.
Studies in people who ingested large amounts of thallium over a short time have reported vomiting, diarrhea, temporary hair loss, and effects on the nervous system, lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys. It has caused death. It is not known what the effects are from ingesting low levels of thallium over a long time.
Birth defects were not reported in the children of mothers exposed to low levels from eating vegetables and fruits contaminated with thallium. Studies in rats, however, exposed to high levels of thallium, showed adverse developmental effects.
It is not known if breathing or ingesting thallium affects human reproduction. Studies showed that rats that ingested thallium for several weeks had some adverse reproductive effects. Animal data suggest that the male reproductive system may be susceptible to damage by low levels of thallium.
There is no information available on the health effects of skin contact with thallium in people or animals.
How likely is thallium to cause cancer?
The Department of Health and Human Services, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have not classified thallium as to its human carcinogenicity.
No studies are available in people or animals on the carcinogenic effects of breathing, ingesting, or touching thallium.

An Ocean House South Beach residence
Set to unveil its multimillion-dollar facelift at an invitation-only soirée tomorrow, ultra-exclusive Ocean House South Beach is the sophisticated South of Fifth neighborhood's most talked about new resident.
The debut event will mark the rebirth of what was formerly known as the South of Fifth Condominiums as Ocean House South Beach, featuring 18 sprawling seaside units with prices fetching $4 to $9 million a piece.
The luxuriously appointed new residences include private entry elevators, working fireplaces, resort-style amenities, and even pet spa services. The building's exterior stays true to its original Art Deco allure, while interior spaces layer earth tones over sleek, modern lines. And not to be overlooked are the unobstructed ocean views, just a shuffle away from each resident's doorstep.
Spearheading the property's ambitious overhaul are owners iStar Residential, consulting developer The Y Group, interior designer Alison Antrobus, and the sales team at Cervera Real Estate. The intimate spaces also got a little extra flair courtesy of Brazilian visionaries Artefacto. Following Wednesday night's opening party, units will be available for viewing by appointment only. 125 Ocean Dr., Miami Beach, 305-763-8171

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I know a couple of kids who are being accused of robbing a house. Whether or not it is true is yet to be found out.They are 16 and 17 years old. One of them turns 18 in a week. No arrests have been made, but I am wondering, if he is charged with this crime after he turns 18, will it be an adult case or a juvenile case beings he was 17 when the crime took place?
Most likely charged as an adult. They need attorneys before the police catch them.
There is no confidentiality online. Volunteering to answer this question does not create an attorney-client relationship. The accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The likelihood of a positive outcome- exoneration or a mitigated sentence- is increased with the help of an experienced criminal litigator. Seek out an experienced criminal litigator for a free consultation. If you cannot find one on Avvo, search at the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL.org) Speak to several attorneys and hire the one that makes you feel confident and comfortable. NACDL local members: http://tinyurl.com/8ru8wtv
Educational purposes answer. | FACDL.org | NACDL.org | Defendme.net | twitter.com/JReganLLM | Non-privileged answer.Ask a similar question
It will most likely be charged as a juvenile case. However, the prosecutor may request that the case be prosecuted as an adult case. Depending on the severity of the confrontation during the robbery, whether people were in the house when the robbery occurred, whether anyone was injured, etc., all these factors may affect whether kids will be prosecuted as adults. I suggest you contact local attorney, call or email and I can answer some few questions for you. Good luck.Ask a similar question
The general rule is that the individual would be charged according to his status when the crime was committed, not when the crime was discovered. This is loosely analogous to the general requirement that courts apply the statutes and penalty provisions that existed at the time a crime was committed. However, it is also true that the prosecutor may file a motion to waive the individuals to adult status based on statutory factors including the severity of the offense, whether or not the offense would constitute a 'person' crime if commmitted by an adult, whether or not the individuals have prior juvenile adjudications, and the age of the individual. At age 18, it is likely that there are comparatively fewer available resources in the juvenile system. Definitely contact a criminal defense attorney with experience in the juvenile system.Ask a similar question

Here is one possibility:
In[1]:= NumberForm[9.2 * 10^-6, ExponentFunction -> (Null &)]
Out[1]//NumberForm= 0.0000092
This is one way to display numbers without using exponents. If this
isn't what you had in mind, I recommend looking at functions like

Many of those who have lost their homes sided with Big Government's efforts to suffer unspeakable harassment and to impose unconscionable taxes on decent hardworking women and men who enjoy the simple worker *("middle")* class pleasure of treating themselves to an occasional tobacco product. They are not very nice people. Before we extend our sympathy - as well as our hard earned taxpayer money - to those who have lost their homes, let us first determine which side they are on.
#3 Jun 28, 2012
Are you out of your mind Ronald? This person is asking for compassion and you lip off on some conservative blah blah. Don't people like you ever CARE about others!?
#4 Jun 28, 2012
What are you talking about? Big Government has unremittingly attacked the many millions of decent taxpaying worker *("middle")* class women and men who enjoy the simple worker class pleasure of using an occasional tobacco product. Big Government has engaged in this reprehensible conduct for more years than decent hard working tobacco users care to relate. I cannot recall any compassion being extended by the anti-decent-tobacco-user crowd. In fact, the scurrilous evil deed has been done with their enthusiastic support.
Is it too much to publicly expose which of the home owners whose houses burned to the ground are among them? Why shouldn't supporters of this outrageous Government behavior be identified prior to a determination being made as to whom taxpayer funded or other aid should be given? Why shouldn't overburdened taxpayers help the many compassionate non-smokers of good-will with taxpayer funded or other assistance? This question is especially pertinent when one considers these tough economic times, times when overburdened taxpayers have increasingly limited resources.
Why should the greedy uncompassionate anti-smoker crowd be entitled to "slip in under the radar" *(so to speak)* to get taxpayer funded or other assistance? Perhaps I have missed something, but why is it uncompassionate to ask those needing help to declare which side they are on?

It' obvious that'Ronald' doesn't care for anyone or anything but himself 'cowgirl'. An embarrassment to the American ways of compassion and help. He may be the truest conservative that I have read yet. A true embarrassment to our country. Sad little peson.
I hope that you find your family safe Mary Salisbiry.

Oh. I see. "The American way of compassion" does NOT extend to the many decent hard working women and men who partake in the simple worker *("middle")* class pleasure of enjoying an occasional cigarette or cigar. Well, I hope their "compassionate" abusers enjoy the secondhand smoke of their burning homes.

front street.
Yes. I agree. It's a moot point. The war against the many decent women and men who enjoy the simple pleasure of an occasional cigarette or cigar is a battle lost. Now, Big Government is going after the non-smokers who eat foodstuffs containing sugar, those who season their foods with salt, the beverage drinkers, and eventually, the toilet paper users. I am sure Big Government can rouse tiny groups - but very noisy groups - to hysterically demand Big Government take ACTION on every one of these issues, and more.

"It's a crisis, to be sure. But in this politically conservative, tax-averse town, it's also something of an experiment. After the impending cuts were announced in fall 2009, the city put a property tax increase on the November ballot. The measure was soundly defeated. Thanks to Colorado Springs' Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR), which actually predates the state of Colorado's TABOR by a year, any proposed tax increase must be voted on by the citizens. With their vote, residents made it clear they'd rather suffer service cuts than see their taxes raised."
No, they would rather the rest of us pay their bills for them. This is typical Republiscum behavior.
#11 Jul 2, 2012
Until Big Government began going after the food eaters who enjoy eating foods that contain sugar, and going after those who season their foul tasting "Government approved" food with salt, the beverage drinkers, and the majority of Californians who use toilet paper, the majority of Californians who are dependent on the minority of Californians who pay taxes could be relied on to vote for any loony tax on the "democratic" ballot, under the theory that "the other guy" would be paying the tax. Most often, the State's political ruling class would identify "the other guy" as the decent taxpaying minority of women and men who enjoy the simple pleasure of an occasional cigarette or cigar.
Now, because of the transfer of the modest wealth of the States' worker *("middle")* class minority who pay taxes to support the dangerous tax-eating voting majority - including the States' Thug people who were drawn to the State to get "a free lunch",-*(so to speak)* the State is bankrupt. California politicians are now demanding that taxpayers in other States - including Coloradans - "pay their fair share" by supporting the California welfare State whit their hard earned tax money.
And why shouldn't they? As more and more States become impoverished as a result of failed Big Government economic and social programs, more and more Americans are discovering that we are ALL decent women and men who smoke tobacco now.
Note: Californian politicians are in the same bed with accused illegal drug using sports figures. Big Media uses "Big Tobacco" as Orwellian code-speak to justify imposing ever greater taxation on "the little folks".

Why does Colorado Springs, rightwingers who HATE HATE HATE government especially the FEDERAL government cry for help from the government they hate?
Why aren't the rightwing residents of Colorado Springs handling their own fires and their own disasters? Come on people. You say there is no climate change. You say that people should take care of themselves.

"Because of conservative and libertarian sentiments and a no-tax pledge passed statewide 20 years ago, Colorado police and disaster-response teams are stretched thin as a virulent wildfire ravages land near Colorado Springs.
...Colorado Springs, which depends on sales tax for about half its revenue, was hit harder than most. The city the birthplace 20 years ago of the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, which later passed statewide and has been pushed around the country to restrict government spending became a high-profile example of cost-cutting. The law restricts government spending to the previous year's revenue, adjusted only for population growth and inflation.
...The city has been aggressive in applying for federal grants, too, which have funded wildfire-mitigation efforts, said Bret Waters, emergency management director.
Dunn notes that the city, where there is strong anti-federal-government sentiment, is now turning to the U.S. for assistance. Before visiting Colorado on Friday, President Obama declared the state a disaster area, which frees aid for communities affected by the wildfires.
"Ironically, Colorado Springs is going to rely heavily on federal funds for rebuilding," Dunn said. "But it won't cover everything."
What a bunch of FLAMING CRYBABY REPUBLISCUM HYPOCRITES.
The only thing that Republiscums are is CHEAP. Republiscum do not want to have to pay for anything so they expect the rest of us to take care of their fat asses.
#14 Jul 9, 2012
Yes. When you use the euphemisms "Federal grants", "aid" and "assistance", I assume you mean hard earned laundered taxpayer money. Ir really doesn't matter if this taxpayer money is paid directly through a system of exploitative Government tax system, or whether Big Government devalues the worth of hard earned savings and currency in circulation by simply printing up more of the stuff. Its all taxation.
Until the Government and academia was taken over by 60s 70s radical dreamers who produced today's failed Obama economy, most hard earned tax money was paid by the prudent worker *("middle")* class - those you refer to as "Republicans". Since the failure of these revolutionary economic schemes, though, this class of taxpayers has become "tapped out".*(so to speak)*
There will be no easy fix to get out of this predicament. The majority of Americans do not pay taxes. Clever schemes such as earned income tax credit "rebates" and in-kind provisions - including taxpayer funded food stamps - are designed by revolutionary politicians to more than repay the minimal amount of sales and other taxes imposed on the Tax eating majority. Before the economy can even hope to recover, the majority of Americans who pay no taxes must tighten their belts and reduce their standard of living to the same level as those who are being taxed to pay for it.

Republiscum = cheapskates and leeches expecting the rest of us to pay for them.
The Republiscum ticket would:
1. Massively increase middle class taxes + reduce benefits to nearly ZERO + increase costs by committing illegal wars again.
2. Reduce billionaires and millionaires taxation to ZERO or very close to ZERO as Romney's $21 M in annual income would see a 0.82% tax rate versus his already very low 13.9% rate.
The GOPUX is entirely about, for and to the benefit of its 17 BILLIONAIRES and their families who expect their fascism to be rewarded by turning the USA from a democracy to a feudal state.
A vote for ANY Republiscum is a vote for feudalism.

Ronald McDonald,
Everyone who lives in or even passes through the USA pays taxes. It is, like death, inevitable because, even if you cannot comprehend such a thing, it takes money to pay for the things you like.
I know Republiscum think that roads and bridges and Coast Guard rescue and traffic signals and sidewalks and national parks and food safety and research grants and the court system are FREE they are, in actuality, NOT FREE. Republiscum are quite childish in this regard.
Renters contribute to property taxes through their rent, customers contribute to businesses taxes through their patronage, people pay sales taxes and fees. Some people (like GE which, according to Romney the fascist, is a person called Mr General Electric) pay no federal income taxes in some years because they did not pay enough in adjusted gross income to pay.
This is entirely different, Ronald McDonald, from the RomneyFascistLeech model in which his AGI is still in the millions but he is protected from taxation because, you know, he does not have to go to work in the morning and do something productive.
Yes, the Republiscum economic model PENALIZES PRODUCTIVE LABOR and rewards bond clippers.

I have been with my folks for a whole year.....yay!!
My dad is the best - he takes me for walks at night and my mum is still the best too because she feeds me. The girl doesn't talk to me much, except when I go in her room - she tells me I'm Smelly. I just wag my tail, look at her and say "no...it's pronounced Stella"
Same ol' same ol'.
No, wait. ... met my forever grandad today. Gave him the obligatory scary bark "hello - I want to tear your head off", then relented when he scritched me behind the ears - old age and treachery out-matches youth and enthusiasm every time. Darn - foiled again. Do I look like a pushover??
25 - 31 March
Much quieter here. No barking. A slight noise from the yard next door, but I heard them say that she was kicked in the throat before she was rescued and can't bark any more. They call her Angel. Guess she must be....
Don't feel much like eating.
Got a special bed in the house - nice and comfy. Close to the TV. Got one outside too....they make me go out there in the dark....no bars though so it can't be bad.
Hungry today - where's my breakfast? Still hungry - is it dinner time? Ah, that's better.
Where is everybody? If I start to dig right here....keep on digging, keep on digging. Uh-oh!!! I'm out the fence. Perhaps if I just sit here really still no-one will notice me. Too late!! Busted! Angel's dad is coming this way. I know - if I go back through the tunnel......

The Cardinal is keen to draw into the life of the Church those who are not practising their faith, especially those for whom poverty and a broken family life are factors increasing their marginalisation from the Church. In an interview with 30 Days, he gives an example which is quite moving:
"The child has no responsibility for the condition of his parents' marriage. The baptism of children can, on the contrary, become a new beginning for the parents. A while ago, I baptized the seven children of one woman, a poor widow who works as a maid and had her children by two different men. I met her on the feast of Saint Cajetan. She said to me, 'Father, I am in mortal sin, I have seven children and have never had them baptized, I don't have the money for the godparents and for the party... I saw her again and after a little catechesis I baptized them in the chapel of the archepiscopal residence. The woman said to me, 'Father, I can't believe it, you make me feel important'. I said to her, 'But madam, what do I have to do with it? It's Jesus who makes you important."The phrase "after a little catechesis" was encouraging to me, since that is essentially what I do. With sincere respect for those who require parents to come to three or four instruction sessions, I think that for parents of a young child, this is rather a burden. We are faced with the problem of parents presenting a child for baptism without having taken much part in the life of the Church before. I agree with the pastoral approach that seeks to encourage such families by baptising their children readily, and then trying to encourage people to get married, or to have their civil marriage convalidated, to return to Mass and confession, and to become a part of the general life of the parish.
In terms of the interpretation of Canon Law, the 1980 Instruction on Infant Baptism from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is quite lenient on the requirements for a "well-founded hope" that the child will be brought up in the Christian faith, accepting, for example, that the Godparents or the support of the community of the faithful would be sufficient.
Sandro Magister in the same article quotes the frank answer of Pope Benedict at a meeting with priests at Bressanone in August 2008, in which he admitted that he had been more strict as a young priest but had changed his mind over time.

2/3: The Vols have secured at least the No. 3 seed in the SEC Tournament with the win over Vanderbilt, coupled with Alabama's loss to Ole Miss on Saturday.
5: Jarnell Stokes had 5 blocked shots, the most by any Vol in a game this season. That ties for sixth-most in a game in UT history.
13: Tennessee has won 13 of 14 season finales that have come against Vanderbilt in Knoxville, all-time.
85.6: Trae Golden has taken over the SEC lead in free throw percentage, making 8-of-8 against Vanderbilt. He passed Vandy's John Jenkins (84.3) in the game.
17,411: Tennessee will finish fifth in the NCAA in average attendance with 17,411 after a sellout-plus of 22,172 on Saturday.
- Tennessee (10-6 in the SEC) has secured at least the third seed and can finish with the No. 2 seed in the 2012 SEC Tournament, being held in New Orleans. Quite an achievement for the Vols, who were picked to finish 11th in the SEC Preseason Poll.
- The Vols will be the No. 2 seed if the top-ranked team in the nation Kentucky beats Florida tomorrow. Should Florida pull off the upset, the Vols would be the No. 3 seed.
- In the SEC Tournament, the No. 2 seed plays on Friday, March 9 at 7:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. CT. The No. 3 seed plays at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT.
- The win by Tennessee and the loss by Alabama to Ole Miss (60-51) on Saturday secured that Top 3 seed for the Vols.
- Tennessee holds the tiebreaker on Florida and Vanderbilt if all three finish tied at 10-6. Florida would move to the No. 2 seed with a win over UK, making them 11-5.

- The Vols nearly have held their seventh SEC opponent to 60 or fewer points as Vanderbilt scored with just seconds remaining to get to 61 points.
- With allowing 61 points, the Vols finished with a mark and finished with a scoring defense of 61.6 in SEC games in 2011-12. That marks the best scoring defense in SEC games in the shot-clock era (since 1986).
- Not since 1968-69 has a Vols team limited its opponents to fewer than 61.6. Back in 1968-69, led by Bill Justus, the Vols held its foes to just 60.9 points per game.
- Playing in his final regular-season game at Thompson-Boling Arena, Cameron Tatum tallied 18 points including 2-of-5 from 3-point range.
- It was Tatum's second-most points in a game this season and most in an SEC conference game. His season-high of 19 came at Oakland (11/28/11).
- It was Tatum's 12th time this season in double-figures and 45th in his career covering 135 games as a Vol -- the second-most in school history.
- Freshman Jarnell Stokes swatted a career-high five shots. His previous high was two, set three times. Stokes had four of those blocks in the first half alone.
- The five blocks, tied for the sixth-most in a game in school-history, last done by John Fields on Jan. 26, 2011 vs. LSU.
- The school-record of six blocks has been accomplished five times, first by Reggie Johnson in 1977 vs. Vanderbilt and most recently by Wayne Chism (1/3/09) at Kansas.

- Jarnell Stokes racked up a career-high 14 rebounds, his third game this season with double-figure rebounds.
- He previously had 12 against No. 13 UConn (1/21/12). He also grabbed 10 at Vanderbilt (1/24/12).

- UT and VU have played every season since their first meeting in 1922 except for the WWII years of 1944 and 1945.
- UT's 111 wins over the Dores are the most by the Vols over any opponent, and only Kentucky (213 games) has been an opponent of the Vols more times than Vanderbilt.
- UT leads the series 68-17 when playing in Knoxville.

- Tennessee is 8-3 in its last 11 Senior Day games.
- Tatum received his Africana Studies degree in December.
- Woolridge is on track to graduate this academic year with a Sociology degree

Citation: Hausman, G.J., Poulos, S.P., Pringle, D.T., Azain, M.J. 2007. The influence of thiazolidinediones on adipogenesis in vitro and in vivo: Potential modifiers of intramuscular adipose tissue deposition in meat animals: a review. Journal of Animal Science. 86(E.Suppl.):E236-E243. Interpretive Summary: Interest in intramuscular or marbling fat cells has developed due to the demand to sustain marbling fat accretion and meat quality as selection for muscle mass continues. Accretion of intramuscular fat cells is associated with many factors but very little is known about the regulation of intramuscular fat cell accretion by specific agents. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) have physiologically relevant effects on muscle and fat tissue and thus have the potential to modify intramuscular or marbling fat cell development. Oral treatment with TZDs in other species increases intramuscular fat accretion and may do so in pigs. Therefore, oral TZD treatment in vivo may be useful to enhance meat quality in the growing pig.
Technical Abstract: Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are insulin sensitizing agents currently used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and are widely used as adipogenic agents since they are ligands of PPAR', a key adipogenic transcription factor. In vivo and in vitro studies of TZDs are reviewed in light of TZDs as potential modifiers of intramuscular or marbling adipogenesis. Thiazolidinediones induce adipogenesis, via PPAR' expression and activation, in a wide range of cell culture systems including human, bovine and pig adipose tissue S-V cell cultures. Studies of porcine S-V cell cultures derived from semitendinosus muscle show that TZDs have the potential to modify intramuscular or marbling adipogenesis. Preadipocyte recruitment was TZD dependent in muscle S-V cultures but TZD independent in adipose S-V cultures. Therefore, thiazolidinedione PPAR' affinity may distinguish marbling preadipocytes from adipose tissue preadipocytes. Thiazolidinedione treatment increases lipid content of muscle in rodents and humans. However, rosiglitazone treatment for 49 d in pigs did not influence muscle lipid content and meat quality but several significant changes in muscle fatty acid composition were observed. Treatment with TZDs during an earlier period of growth may be necessary to enhance marbling deposition in swine.
