BELLEVUE -- Fewer than 60 homes remain for sale at Bellevue Towers, and the project is on track to sell out later this year.
After selling 183 condominium homes in 2012, Bellevue Towers has closed 24 sales in the first two months of this year, and 21 more sales are pending. Nearly 90 percent of the 539 homes at Bellevue Towers have sold.
All of the project's one-bedroom and studio homes have sold. The remaining inventory consists of two-bedroom homes (most with a study or den) and a handful of penthouses, including the two top-floor penthouses. Each has four bedrooms and more than 6,000 square feet of living space.
"While the starting price for the remaining homes is $854,000, it is clear that demand for this price point is high," says Patrick Clark, principal of Realty Trust, the brokerage company marketing and selling the homes at Bellevue Towers. He points to the fact that the average price of the two-bedroom homes sold this year is $945,000.
"The level of sales activity year-to-date has continued to keep pace with 2012, even as we have sold through the most affordable homes already," Clark says. "With the recovery of the residential resale market, demand for the most premium homes at Bellevue Towers has continued to strengthen in recent months. Buyers have recognized the superb value offered at Bellevue Towers and are taking advantage of the diminishing opportunity to purchase a new home here."
Bellevue Towers has sold more than 340 homes since January 2011. Last year's 183 sales was more than the next five best-selling luxury condominium projects in the Bellevue-Seattle market combined.
"Bellevue Towers has the perfect blend of green design with beautiful engineering and durability," says Omer Qureshi, who recently bought a home with his wife, Valentina. "It's amazing the thoughtfulness Bellevue Towers takes every day to make every resident feel comfortable. The location of Bellevue Towers makes urban living a joy."
Bellevue Towers consists of a 42-story North Tower and a 43-story South Tower. Each tower has its own lobby and concierge service, and shares an array of other amenities. In addition to an Urban Garden, residents have access to a private screening room, dining room with terrace and chef's kitchen, fitness center, spa, sun deck and a great room that opens to an outdoor terrace with a fireplace and barbecue grill.
The project also features more than 500 original pieces from Northwest artists, including Lucinda Parker, Julie Speidel and George Batho.
Standard appliances and finishes in each kitchen include Viking or Wolf cooktops and ranges, Sub-Zero refrigerators, Bosch dishwashers and full-height granite backsplashes. Master bathrooms are finished in marble or travertine.
Located in the heart of downtown Bellevue, at the intersection of Northeast Fourth Street and 106th Avenue, Bellevue Towers is within walking distance to shopping, dining and Bellevue Downtown Park. Homes showcase city, lake and mountain views.
Bellevue Towers has been awarded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold status, making it the largest LEED Gold residential development in the Northwest.

Lainy asked me to post this on her behalf.
Brought tears to my eyes. I hope Teddy is entertaining all of our dads today. Hugs.
You betcha he is! Calamari Marinara for everyone! Listen to this....I emailed Gavin to do me this favor for Teddy last night for Father's Day as this truly was his theme song. Then about 1100AM I was picking up my daughter to go for lunch today and on the radio came, "I Did It My Way". Just say'in! This video was done 11 months before he Passed.
How sweet, Lainy. Teddy came to visit on Father's Day. What a guy!!
Aww Lainey - I could only watch part of Teddy singing - and thought "Gosh he looks so much like Tom" and could not watch it anymore. And the tears started. I'm happy that you have that video for yourself!
I have a few video's of Tom when we did our fishing trips to Canada and I have watched bits and pieces of them, but again, start crying so I'll save them for a later time.
Love and hugs,
Thanks, Margaret. There are times even now, I just watch bits and pieces. He was always so serious when he sang. So many good Memories, yes? Teddy's Sister is coming in this morning for a 10 day visit and I am sure we will talk about him until we turn blue. SHe is so funny. She is our little Sicilian drama queen, like the one you hire to mourn for something! But she has called me daily without fail!
Margaret, I think the boys are really proud of us!

I honestly cannot believe he's failed another test. The guy must have rocks for brains.
Co-Owner of www.AddictedMMA.com and massive MMA Addict!
It's crazy man. What's making me laugh is all the people online saying that the UFC are going over the top by making him do rehab.
Lets ignore the legality issues, and whether or not it's a performance enhancer. What it most definitely is, is a no-no in terms of the drug testing procedures that the UFC had in place for that event. So if knowing that...
A) You're a professional athlete, competing on the world's biggest stage
B) You're not on the thickest of ice having been busted very recently for a similar offence
C) That there is a very good chance you will be tested at the time of your fight
...you still can't keep off the Mary Jane for just 8 weeks or so around fight time...then yeah, maybe you do have a problem.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
Dude knows BJJ and he's Brazilian. Of course he's a stoner.
He's no more stupid than Nick Diaz but more stupid than other competitors who don't get busted.
He looked kinda stoned fighting Nedkov.
Solid supporter of: Tomasz Adamek. Maurício Rua. Daniel Ghiţă
Just don't take any form of drugs
Is 'marijuana metabolites' in anyway performance enhancing?
if you take a banned substance and it allows you to cope with nerves better leading up to the fight and so sleep more than you would if you didn't take the substance then it's surely enhanced your performance?
I don't think marijuana should be punishable, but that's a debate for another time.
Since it is, it's stupid that he got caught.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
it's hard enough to stay motivated and dedicated to train hard and eat well on a daily basis as is, without taking something which makes you want to curl up on a sofa eating chocolate, it can't possibly be performance enhancing. does the lungs no good either.
its really not easy doing the two. if anything the likes of diaz and silva are putting themselves at more of a disadvantage, but that's their choice, it's just weed bro!
"The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war"
Forgetting all the 'recovery' business, you're inhaling burnt stuff into your lungs.
In regards to more sleep/recovery and calming nerves, I could list off the amount of anti anxiety stuff people are able to get hold of. Not to mention Valium and over the counter calmers that you could legally use.
If Nick Diaz wants to smoke and go for 5 mile runs then swim to Alcatraz then good for him but he is the ONLY person I know who is an open weed smoker who competes at such a high level consistently so he's an exception.
Coffee drinker, prefer Pepsi and I'm kind of a big deal.

Judge limits Jackson family presence in court room
The Michael Jackson wrongful death trial is entering a third day with a "parental guidance" warning from the court.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos ruled Tuesday that only one of the singer's siblings could sit in the courtroom at any given time, and only if their mother, Katherine Jackson, is present. CNN says lawyers for the defendants, AEG Live, argued at the start of the trial's second day that there was "a risk in allowing any of them in the courtroom." '
AEG reportedly plans to call several of Michael's brothers and sisters to the stand to testify in its defense. The concert promoters are seeking testimony about the family's failed attempts to intervene with Jackson's drug addiction.
A paramedic who responded to the 911 call from Jackson's home on the day he died also testified that he thought the singer was a "hospice patient." Richard Senneff told the court the singer looked like someone "who was at the end stage of a long disease process" and appeared to be dead.
Katherine Jackson is suing AEG Live, accusing the company of negligence in hiring Dr. Conrad Murray to look after Michael as he prepared for a series of comeback concerts in 2009. The singer died under Murray's watch. The doctor was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 and is serving a four year sentence behind bars.

Fox's Geraldo Rivera Reverses Course On Use Of The Word "Thug"
Blog ››› ››› ELLIE SANDMEYER
Fox News host Geraldo Rivera apologized for calling Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman a "thug," a concession notable not only for Rivera's acknowledgement that the term had racial connotations but also because of the criticism Rivera faced for applying the term to Trayvon Martin.
Sherman became the target of heavy media criticism following comments he made about San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree in a January 19 post-game interview. As the sports blog Deadspin reported, the media used the term "thug" 625 times the day after Sherman's interview. Sherman later responded to the criticism by pointing out the racial undertones of the word "thug," arguing that "it seems like it's the accepted way of calling somebody the N-word nowadays."
On the January 31 edition of Fox & Friends, Rivera highlighted Sherman's comment and apologized for his role in the attacks:
RIVERA: I called Richard Sherman a thug when he ranted about Michael Crabtree. He said the use of the word thug was the new N-word. I pondered that. I have come to agree with Richard Sherman, the Stanford grad. I will never use the word thug in that context again.
Rivera's reversal is particularly noteworthy considering his past use of the term. In March 2012, Rivera came under fire for using the same term in an attack on Trayvon Martin. Rivera suggested that Martin's clothing choice was responsible for his death, saying that "it is reality" that minorities wearing hoodies "could attract the attention, not only of the cops, but of nutjobs apparently like this George Zimmerman." In July 2013, Rivera doubled down:
RIVERA: You dress like a thug, people are going to treat you like a thug. That's true. I stand by that.

Brad Paisley to make second appearance on 'Nashville'
Listen to Brad Paisley on iHeartRadio
Brad Paisley is returning to "Nashville." The country star is slated to make a guest appearance on the ABC drama later this month.
Photos from the episode are posted on Parade.com. On the show, Brad will be on hand to welcome Hayden Panettiere's character, Juliette Barnes, as the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry.
The scenes were shot on the Opry stage at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. The episode will air on January 29th.
The episode marks Paisley's second appearance on "Nashville." He was also featured in the season one finale last May. In that episode he performed at an awards show with Connie Britton's character, Rayna Jaymes, and Charles Esten's character, Deacon Claybourne.
New episodes of "Nashville" return to ABC this Wednesday.

Sounds' Fiers fans 11 in two-hit shutout
Brewers right-hander wins fifth straight start, lowers ERA to 0.80
By Josh Jackson / MiLB.com | April 30, 2014 11:54 PM ET
Mike Fiers is off to a such a hot start in the Pacific Coast League that something must be working especially well for him. What is it?
"Everything," he said.
Fiers pitched a seven-inning two-hitter and struck out 11 without issuing a walk Wednesday as Triple-A Nashville blanked New Orleans, 1-0, Game 1 of a doubleheader at Greer Stadium.
"I've been able to throw all four of my pitches for strikes, really locating with most of them every start," the 28-year-old right-hander said. "Usually, when I go into a game, I pick the best three to work with, but when all four are working this well, it makes it easy for me to to keep hitters off-balance [throughout the game]."
Fiers (5-0) has won every game he's started this season and leads the PCL in wins and strikeouts (47). He's second behind Memphis' Tsuyoshi Wada with a 0.80 ERA.
"I saw that. I try not to look at stats too much, but that's hard not to notice when you see something. It's another little confidence-booster," the 2009 22nd-round Draft pick said. "It's a reminder that I can pitch. I had a rough year last year, up and down [between Milwaukee and the Minors]. Just the confidence of it, 'Hey, I can pitch and get it done.'"
His dominant outing on Wednesday ended a six-game winning streak by the Zephyrs, who'd scored 45 runs during that stretch, including nine against the Sounds on Tuesday. Fiers didn't study their lineup with any more rigor or depth than usual.
"I don't really look too far into what any team does [in the games before]," he said. "I'm not going to look back at how long these guys have been doing well because I don't know what the pitchers before me threw, if they made bad pitches or what. I can't go off what they did. If I make my pitches, I expect to get guys out."
Both of New Orleans' hits were doubles. Fiers opened the game with back-to-back strikeouts before surrendering a two-bagger to Josh Rodriguez, then punched out the first two batters in the fifth inning before Juan Diaz doubled. In both cases, he retired the next hitter to get out of trouble.
"It didn't matter if they hit a home run or whatever it is, you have to pitch the same. That's a big thing that I've gotten better about my years in the pros," said Fiers, who went 9-10 for the Brewers in 2012. "Everyone says, 'Hey, don't worry about that' [after a big hit], but it really is a big factor, being able to put it away and focus onthe next guy."
Fiers got into another jam in the sixth, when Matt Angle reached on a two-out error by first baseman Hunter Morris, Milwaukee's No. 10 prospect. Angle took third on an errant pickoff attempt, but Fiers struck out Rodriguez to end the inning.
"There were a couple [moments] with guys in scoring position, where I was having to bear down and make good pitches, even better pitches than I made before," he said. "But I like being in that situation. I like a 1-0 game where every pitch matters and one pitch could change the game."
Fiers has not allowed more than one run in any start and has limited foes to a .160 batting average. Wednesday's performance was his first complete game since April 28, 2013, but he struck out 12 over eight innings of one-run ball on April 19 at Omaha.
"Those doubleheaders are always fast. Seven innings seems a lot shorter than nine -- I don't know why, but those last two innings make the game a lot longer," he said. "I'd rather throw a nine-inning shutout, of course, but I'll take the seven-inning one."
Brian Flynn, the Marlins' No. 7 prospect, also went the distance for the Zephyrs. He fell to 2-2, despite allowing a run on eight hits and a walk with three strikeouts over six innings.
"He's definitely got good stuff. He has good life on his fastball," Fiers said of Flynn. "I've been in that situation, too -- you throw well and deserve to have a win, but the other guy was better. It's a good start but also a bad [feeling]."

Limbaugh falsely claimed attacks on Michael Schiavo have been "off limits" to the media
Nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh falsely claimed that the media have treated attacks on Michael Schiavo, husband of Terri Schiavo, as "off limits." In fact, the Los Angeles Times has noted [1] that talk radio and The Wall Street Journal editorial page, among others, have "vilified" Schiavo.
On the March 29 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show, Limbaugh said: "[W]e're [the media] not to ask any questions about Michael Schiavo. We can put out all the dirt we want about the Schindlers [Terri Schiavo's parents], and we can associate them with the liberal media's most hated people in America. Michael Schiavo? No, no, no, no, no! Off limits!"
The Times reported on March 24 that "Michael Schiavo has become the target of accusations that he caused her [Terri Schiavo's] heart attack and collapse with abusive, violent behavior; that he fabricated the story that she wouldn't want to live this way only after collecting more than $1 million in a malpractice claim; that he has sabotaged her therapy and barred her friends and family from comforting visits; and that he wants her to die so he can marry a woman with whom he has lived for the last few years and fathered two children."
Though Michael Schiavo has "vehemently denied the accusations of abuse, greed and heartlessness in interviews and to investigators, and an independent report [2] to Gov. Jeb Bush and the judicial system two years ago said 'the evidence is incontrovertible that he gave his heart and soul to her treatment and care,'" the attacks have spread through the media, the Times reported, adding: "The attacks on his character have become talk-show fodder and high-profile commentary, from the Wall Street Journal's editorial pages to website chat rooms and morning drive-time call-ins."

Preventing hepatitis B or C
Hepatitis B and C virus infection cause irritation and swelling of the liver. Since both of these infections may cause chronic liver disease, you should take several steps to prevent catching or spreading these viruses.
See also: Preventing hepatitis A
There is no vaccine for hepatitis C.
All children should receive their first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine at birth, and complete the series of three shots by age 6 months. Children younger than age 19 who have not been vaccinated should receive "catch-up" doses.
People who are at high risk, including health care workers and those who live with someone who has hepatitis B, should get the hepatitis B vaccine. Others for whom the vaccine is recommended include:
- Men who have sex with other men
- People with end-stage kidney disease, chronic liver disease, or HIV infection
- People with multiple sexual partners
- People who use recreational, injectable drugs
Hepatitis B and C viruses cannot be spread by casual contact, such as holding hands, sharing eating utensils or drinking glasses, breastfeeding, kissing, hugging, coughing, or sneezing.
Lifestyle measures for preventing spread of hepatitis B and C from one person to another include:
- Avoid sharing personal items, such as razors or toothbrushes.
- Do not share drug needles or other drug equipment (such as straws for snorting drugs).
- Clean blood spills with a solution containing 1 part household bleach to9 parts water.
- Be careful when getting tattoos and body piercings.
All people who have sex outside of a monogamous relationship should practice safer sex behaviors to avoid hepatitis B and C.
Regarding sexual contact with those known to have chronic hepatitis:
- Hepatitis B: avoid sexual contact with a person who has chronic hepatitis B.
- Hepatitis C: the risk of becoming infected with hepatitis C is low when a person is in a stable, monogamous relationship with someone with hepatitis C. It is recommended you make no changes in sexual practices
Other Steps You Can Take
Infants born to mothers who either have active hepatitis B infection or have had the infection should receive a special vaccination given within 12 hours of birth. That includes hepatitis B immune globulin and a hepatitis B immunization.
Screening of all donated blood has reduced the chance of getting hepatitis B from a blood transfusion. All newly diagnosed hepatitis B infections should be reported to state health care workers to track people who have been exposed to the virus.
The hepatitis B vaccine or a hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) shot may be given to help prevent hepatitis B infection in anyone within 24 hours of exposure to blood or body fluids from a person with hepatitis B.
Avoid contact with blood or blood products whenever possible. Health care workers should follow precautions when handling blood and bodily fluids.

There are many different types of stem cells that come from different places in the body or are formed at different times in our lives. These include embryonic stem cells (see FAQ 3), which exist only at the earliest stages of development and various types of 'tissue-specific' or 'adult' stem cells (see FAQ 3) that appear during fetal development and remain in our bodies throughout life. In addition, scientists have recently been able to create induced pluripotent stem cells or iPS cells (see FAQ 5) in the laboratory. These cells, which are not found in the body but rather are engineered from specialized cells, such as those from the skin, have properties similar to those of embryonic stem cells. For more information, see FAQ 3-5.
'Adult' or 'tissue-specific' stem cells are multipotent, meaning they can give rise to a limited number of mature cell types, usually corresponding to the tissues in which they reside. Some tissue-specific stem cells can only give rise to one or two mature cell types. These cells are called unipotent and bipotent, respectively. It has been proposed that some adult stem cells may have the potential to form cell types from a broader range of tissues than that from which they originate, however, this is highly controversial in the scientific community.
Many tissues contain stem cells that can replace cells that die or restore tissue after injury. Skin, muscle, intestine and bone marrow, for example, each contain their own stem cells. In the bone marrow, billions of new blood cells are made every day from blood-forming stem cells. It is not clear whether every adult organ contains stem cells.
Tissue-specific stem cells are rare and are often difficult to isolate and grow in culture. The best-studied are the hematopoietic stem cells or blood-forming stem cells, which reside in the bone marrow and continuously produce and replace all blood cells. In addition, the bone marrow contains mesenchymal stem cells, which can give rise to cartilage, fat cells and bone.
Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent stem cells, meaning they can give rise to all cell types of the body. They can be grown indefinitely in vitro if the correct conditions are met, or if given the right cues, can be coaxed to differentiate to a variety of mature, specialized cell types. This makes them very valuable for regenerative medicine. A major focus of research is to find ways to generate cells and tissues from embryonic stem cells that can be used to test new drugs or to replace damaged organs in patients.
Embryonic stem cells are obtained from a very early stage in development, usually the blastocyst stage, which in the human forms about 5 days after fertilization of an egg. A blastocyst is a mainly hollow ball, barely visible to the naked eye. Inside is a clump of approximately 150 cells, called the inner cell mass, that would eventually form the entire body of the developing animal. Embryonic stem cells are formed by removing the cells from the inner cell mass and growing them in culture.
Mouse embryonic stem cells, first isolated in 1981, are the most widely studied. They have taught us a lot about how pluripotent cells grow and specialize, and how early development works. Mouse embryonic stem cells can be manipulated to contain specific genetic changes and then used to generate mice, which contain this change. This has led to the discovery of many genes associated with different human diseases and helped us understand how these diseases develop. Capecchi, Evans and Smithies were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, 2007 for developing this process. Read more.
Human embryonic stem cells were isolated relatively recently, in 1998. They are more difficult to work with than their mouse counterparts and currently less is known about them. However, scientists are making remarkable progress, learning about human developmental processes, modeling disease and establishing strategies that could ultimately lead to new medical treatments.
Induced pluripotent cells (iPS cells) are non-pluripotent cells that were induced to become pluripotent, that is, able to form all cell types of the body. In other words, a cell with a specialized function (for example, a skin cell) was 'reprogrammed' to an unspecialized state similar to that of an embryonic stem cell. While iPS cells and embryonic stem cells share many characteristics they are not identical.
The generation of mouse iPS cells was reported in 2006, and the generation of human iPS cells at the end of 2007.
Typically, iPS cells are produced by inserting copies of three or four genes known to be important in embryonic stem cells using viruses into fully mature cells, such as skin cells or immune cells. Different research groups have used slightly different combinations of genes and different methods to get them into the cell. It is not completely understood how each of these genes functions to confer pluripotency and ongoing research is addressing this question.
iPS cells hold great promise for creating patient- and disease-specific cell lines for research purposes. A great deal of work remains before these methods can be used to generate stem cells suitable for safe and effective therapies.
A. Insight into human development Most knowledge about human development has been obtained through studying model organisms, such as fruit flies, worms, frogs and mice. Human embryonic stem cell lines, which can be cultured and differentiated into a variety of cells and tissues paralleling the earliest events in the development of the embryo offer a unique window into human development.
B. Study of diseases and how they develop Experimental animal models are typically used to study human diseases in the lab. However, they do not exactly model the disease as it occurs in people. Human pluripotent stem cells, particularly patient or disease-specific lines, offer the possibility to model human disease more accurately in the lab. Read more about disease-specific or patient-specific pluripotent stem cells (see FAQ 11)
C. Regenerative medicine Replacing diseased cells with healthy cells, an approach called regenerative medicine, is a promising application of stem cells. Currently, researchers are investigating the use of adult, fetal and embryonic stem cells as a resource for various, specialized cell types, such as nerve cells, muscle cells, blood cells and skin cells that can be used to treat various diseases. In theory, any condition in which there is tissue degeneration can be a potential candidate for stem cell therapies, including Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, heart disease, Type 1 diabetes, muscular dystrophies, retinal degeneration and liver diseases. However, an important consideration here is that in some cases the immune system causes the disease by destroying critical cells, such as insulin-producing cells in type I diabetes. It is therefore possible that stem cell-derived insulin-producing cells will be attacked by the immune system as well.
Additionally, some types of stem cells have been shown to migrate toward tumors or sites of injury, or to secrete various factors that influence the behavior of other cells, such as those of the immune system.
These represent possible alternative approaches for the future development of stem cell-based therapies.
Umbilical cord blood is rich in hematopoietic or blood stem cells and is currently used as an alternative to bone marrow transplantation. Umbilical cord blood can be collected non-invasively from the umbilical cord and placenta after birth, tested and stored frozen in tissue banks ready to use. The host-donor match required for transplantation is less stringent, increasing the number of patients that could use each sample. However, as there may not be a sufficient number of stem cells in a single cord blood sample to treat an adult, cord blood stem cells are more often used to treat children. This highlights the need to develop better methods to expand adult stem cells outside the body.

The goal of regenerative medicine is to repair organs or tissues that are damaged by disease, aging or trauma, such that function is restored or improved.
The term regenerative medicine is often used nowadays to describe medical treatments and research that use stem cells (either adult or embryonic) to restore the function of organs or tissues. This can be achieved in different ways; first, by administering stem cells, or specific cells that are derived from stem cells in the laboratory; or second, by administering drugs that coax stem cells that are already present in tissues to more efficiently repair the tissue involved.
Stem cell research contributes to a fundamental understanding of how organisms develop and grow, and how tissues are maintained throughout adult life. This knowledge is required to understand what goes wrong during disease and injury and ultimately how these conditions might be treated. Of particular interest in this context is research on human embryonic stem cells, as these cells open a window into unique aspects of human development and biology, and therefore will lead to novel insights into human disease.
Research on human embryonic stem cells, somatic cell nuclear transfer, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) and 'adult' or tissue-specific stem cells needs to continue in parallel. All are part of a research effort that seeks to expand our knowledge of how cells function, what fails in the disease process, and how the first stages of human development occur. It is this combined knowledge that will ultimately generate safe and effective therapies.
One of the most commonly asked questions in stem cell research is whether it is ethical to use human embryos to procure embryonic stem cells. However, there are many additional ethical issues that pertain to stem cell research. For example, in order to produce induced pluripotent stem cells and embryonic stem cells from somatic cell nuclear transfer, biological material must be collected from living donors. There are many questions regarding the rights of these donors.
Furthermore, wherever there is the potential for medical treatments, there are complex decisions that need to be made about how and when to begin trial treatments in humans, and if the trials are successful how to make such treatments fairly available.
A bone marrow transplant, also called a hematopoietic stem cell transplant, is a medical procedure used to treat conditions of the blood such as leukemia, sickle cell anemia, or some metabolic conditions. It relies on the hematopoietic (blood) stem cells that are present in the bone marrow that are the precursors to all blood cells. Doctors have been transferring blood stem cells by bone marrow transplant for more than 40 years. Advanced techniques for collecting or "harvesting" blood stem cells are now used. Cord blood, like bone marrow, is stored as a source of blood stem cells and is used as an alternative to bone marrow in transplantation.
Other stem cell applications are the use of skin progenitor cells for burns, and the use of limbal stem cells, which reside in the cornea, for injury of the cornea. Despite intensive research, no therapies are available yet using embryonic stem cells, although two clinical trials, to treat spinal cord injury and a certain type of blindness respectively, were approved in 2010.
However, with the exception of the treatments discussed here, the use of cell therapies remains at an experimental stage and has not been shown to be safe or effective.
Some of the promise of stem cell therapy has been realized. A prime example is bone marrow transplantation. Even here, however, manyproblems remain to be solved.
Challenges facing stem cell therapy include the following:
Adult stem cells Tissue-specific stem cells in adult individuals tend to be rare. Furthermore, while they can regenerate themselves in an animal or person they are generally very difficult to grow and to expand in the laboratory. Because of this, it is difficult to obtain sufficient numbers of many adult stem cell types for study and clinical use. Hematopoietic or blood-forming stem cells in the bone marrow, for example, only make up one in a hundred thousand cells of the bone marrow. They can be isolated, but can only be expanded a very limited amount in the laboratory. Fortunately, large numbers of whole bone marrow cells can be isolated and administered for the treatment for a variety of diseases of the blood. Skin stem cells can be expanded however, and are used to treat burns. For other types of stem cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells, some success has been achieved in expanding the cells in vitro, but application in animals has been difficult. One major problem is the mode of administration. Bone marrow cells can be infused in the blood stream, and will find their way to the bone marrow. For other stem cells, such as muscle stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells and neural stem cells, the route of administration in humans is more problematic. It is believed, however, that once healthy stem cells find their niche, they will start repairing the tissue. In another approach, attempts are made to differentiate stem cells into functional tissue, which is then transplanted. A final problem is rejection. If stem cells from the patients are used, rejection by the immune system is not a problem. However, with donor stem cells, the immune system of the recipient will reject the cells, unless the immune system is suppressed by drugs. In the case of bone marrow transplantation, another problem arises. The bone marrow contains immune cells from the donor. These will attack the tissues of the recipient, causing the sometimes deadly graft-versus-host disease.
Pluripotent stem cells All embryonic stem cell lines are derived from very early stage embryos, and will therefore be genetically different from any patient. Hence, immune rejection will be major issue. For this reason, iPS cells, which are generated from the cells of the patient through a process of reprogramming, are a major breakthrough, since these will not be rejected. A problem however is that many iPS cell lines are generated by insertion of genes using viruses, carrying the risk of transformation into cancer cells. Furthermore, undifferentiated embryonic stem cells or iPS cells form tumors when transplanted into mice. Therefore, cells derived from embryonic stem cells or iPS cells have to be devoid of the original stem cells to avoid tumor formation. This is a major safety concern.
A second major challenge is differentiation of pluripotent cells into cells or tissues that are functional in an adult patient and that meet the standards that are required for 'transplantation grade' tissues and cells.
A major advantage of pluripotent cells is that they can be grown and expanded indefinitely in the laboratory. Therefore, in contrast to adult stem cells, cell number will be less of a limiting factor. Another advantage is that given their very broad potential, several cell types that are present in an organ might be generated. Sophisticated tissue engineering approaches are therefore being developed to reconstruct organs in the lab.
While results from animal models are promising, the research on stem cells and their applications to treat various human diseases is still at a preliminary stage. As with any medical treatment, a rigorous research and testing process must be followed to ensure long-term efficacy and safety.
A clinical trial is a research study designed to answer specific questions about a new treatment or a new way of using current treatments. Clinical trials are used to establish whether new treatments are safe and effective. It is very important to understand that the new treatment may not be better than, or even as good as, existing treatments.
Most drugs and treatments that are widely accepted by the medical community have been tested in clinical trials. If a trial is successful, defined as finding that the treatment is shown to be safer, more effective, or cheaper than previously available treatments, the experimental treatment can become standard treatment.
The fact that a procedure is experimental does not automatically mean that it is part of a research study or clinical trial. A responsible clinical trial can be characterized by a number of key features. First, preclinical data (data obtained in the laboratory, preferably in animal models) supporting that the treatment under study is likely to be safe and effective are required. Next, oversight by an independent group such as an Institutional Review Board or medical ethics committee that protect patients' rights is necessary. In many countries the trial is assessed and approved by a national regulatory agency, such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The trial itself is designed to answer specific questions about a new treatment or a new way of using current treatments, often with a control group to which the group of people receiving the new treatment is compared. Typically, the cost of the new treatment and trial monitoring is defrayed by the company developing the treatment or by local or national government funding.
Responsibly conducted clinical trials are critical in the development of new treatments as they allow us to learn whether these treatments are safe and effective. The ISSCR supports participation in responsible clinical trials after careful consideration of the issues highlighted on this site and after discussion with a trusted physician.
The ISSCR cannot recommend specific clinics, treatments or clinical trials. A list of registered clinical trials can be found at the U.S. National Institutes of Health clinical trials registry or the World Health Organization'sInternational Clinical Trials Registry Platform. Talk with your doctor to determine which clinical trials are most appropriate for your particular situation.

Marcello Borges
Monthly Forecast for July 2017
Marcello Borges is a male celebrity.
He was born on Tuesday March 1st 1955, in Sao Paulo, Brazil,.
July 2017 is a 3 Personal Month in a 5 Personal Year for Marcello Borges. Money matters come to the foreground, debts are called in and close attention should be paid to his bank account.
Marcello's ability to influence the ideas and opinions of others works in his favor and may create a new source of income.
This is also a good time to promote himself. If Borges has considered upgrading his resume or trying out for that new position he has been considering, now is the time to do it. A career change is also possible as a result of outside forces.
Marcello Borges is more creative, but that makes him feel somewhat restless, impulsive, and willing to take risks for the sole reason that he needs a change. There is a tendency to be somewhat scattered and even a little irresponsible during this cycle.
His domestic environment also becomes a source of restlessness and Marcello may have to guard against irrational behavior from his side. At the same time, Borges reaches out to old friends and relatives he has not been in touch with for some time.
Marcello Borges' emotional state is a little turbulent, and is causing him to be moody. He better try to maintain equilibrium. July 2017 is a month to be somewhat detached from the events and circumstances surrounding him life. Marcello must not take himself too serious, and, if possible, he should take some time off for a vacation. It is a good time to recharge him batteries.
Let's see now what Friday, July 28th 2017 has in-stored for Marcello.
You and Marcello
About Marcello's Personal Month Cycle
Just as Marcello Borges evolves through a nine-year cycle, he also experiences nine-month cycles, even though their impact is subtle compared to the Personal Year cycle. The Personal Month cycles proceed according to the same pattern - 1 through 9 - that the Personal Year cycle does. The numbers within the monthly cycles have a similar, though less pronounced, impact on Marcello than the yearly cycle has.

Quick Fact: O'Reilly falsely claims health bill will "require American taxpayers to fund abortion"
Research ››› ››› KATE CONWAY
On his Fox News program, Bill O'Reilly claimed that the health care bill will "require American taxpayers to fund abortion." In fact, the Senate bill, now being considered by the House, prohibits health insurers from using federal subsidies to pay for abortion services restricted under the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of federal funds for abortions except in cases of life endangerment, rape, or incest.
O'Reilly claims "taxpayer money linked up with the termination of a fetus"
Talking about health care reform on the March 15 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly falsely claimed that "we now have taxpayer money linked up with the termination of a fetus." Although he noted that President Obama "says no federal money will be used to fund abortions," O'Reilly concluded: "After much reflection, Talking Points would not vote for Obamacare mainly because the country can't afford it. ... In addition, it is grossly unfair to require American taxpayers to fund abortion if they believe it's wrong."
FACT: Senate bill does not allow federal funding for abortion above current law
The Senate health care reform bill -- now being considered by the House -- as passed states that if a "qualified health plan" offered under the health insurance exchange provides coverage of abortion services for which public funding is banned, "the issuer of the plan shall not use any amount attributable" to the subsidies created under the bill "for purposes of paying for such services."
Senate bill establishes a separate premium to segregate funds used to pay for abortions from federal funds. The Senate bill as passed further requires issuers to "collect from each enrollee" in plans that cover abortions a "separate payment" for "an amount equal to the actuarial value of the coverage of" abortion services. This value must be at least $1 per enrollee, per month. All such funds are deposited into a separate account used by the issuer to pay for abortion services; federal funds and the remaining premium payments are used to pay for all other services.
Current law allows for Medicaid to provide coverage for abortions restricted by Hyde by using similar fund segregation. According to a November 1, 2009, study by the Guttmacher Institute, 17 states provide coverage under Medicaid for "all or most medically necessary abortions," not just abortions in cases of life endangerment, rape, and incest. Those states "us[e] their own funds" -- not federal funds -- "to pay" for the procedures. Therefore, in 17 states, Medicaid, a federally subsidized health care program, covers abortions in circumstances in which federal money is prohibited from being spent on abortion.

He won't sleep without a bottle
Recently he won't sleep without a bottle. I know that it is bad for their teeth (which he doesn't have yet) but it's the only way he will fall back asleep. I do take it away once he's passed out, and have tried a dummy but it never works.
Any ideas?
I read that a bottle of water is okay but he won't fall back asleep with it.

It's super important, at 6 months of age, that you are taking the time to hold your baby while you give him a bottle. Propping the bottle or even giving it to him to hold can create insecurity in a baby (initially) and can also cause problems when teeth start to emerge (as you mentioned).
Right now, you want baby to be receiving his nutrition through formula, and if you try to give water instead, he may end up not getting enough of the vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats and proteins that he needs.
If it's night time that you are trying to get him to fall back to sleep, just keep the lights really low while changing a diaper or giving a bottle at night. Having a little night light that you can turn off and on can help. If the lights become stimulating, he may have a much harder time going back to sleep.
If you look at how God originally intended the mother/infant relationship to be, you'll see that mothers were created to feed their babies every 2-3 hours, and the milk comes from the breast positioned on the chest, which means in order for baby to be fed, mother has to hold him. This closeness between mother and baby naturally happens 6-8 times a day, and for about 20 minutes at each feeding. Bonding is established and maintained in this way. We know that babies that are not held or touched enough don't thrive and become sickly. Touch is so very important for the first year of life (and beyond, though it starts to lessen as baby begins walking).
A breastfeeding mum will often sleep with her child, and when the baby awakens at night, mum will latch him on, and then both mum and bub will fall back to sleep. This way, both get the sleep they need. Maybe you could try giving your baby a bottle in bed with you, and propping it if needed, while still giving your baby the closeness and touching he needs. I've also found that when a baby is dozing off, I can often switch the bottle out and put a dummy in, and baby will pacify and fall back to sleep easily.
I hope this gives you some insight as to the value of holding your baby while he eats, at this age.
Warm Regards,

November 29 College Football Recap
Monday, November 29, 2010
The Week in Review
Here's a brief look at the highlights of the 13th week of the college football season, a week which featured two huge showdowns in the SEC, some of the best rivalry games in the nation, and a shocking upset in Reno. The rankings used in this recap are the BCS Standings from prior to the games.
SEC SHOWDOWNS#2 Auburn 28, #11 Alabama 27: This much-talked about game lived up to all expectations as Alabama jumps out to a 24-0 victory then Auburn and Cam Newton battle all the way back for a miracle victory to stay alive in the BCS National Championship picture.
#12 Arkansas 31, #5 LSU 23: Ryan Mallett uses big plays (TD passes of 85-, 80- and 39-yards) to knock off the Tigers in Little Rock as Les Miles' luck appears to run out after a magical season.
BRONCO BUSTING#19 Nevada 34, #4 Boise State 31 (OT): Boise State jumped out to a 17-0 lead and most people on the East Coast went to bed expecting another easy win for the Broncos. Instead, Nevada controlled the ball for 24:12 in the second half while the Broncos managed just 5:12 of possession time to even the game and then missed field goals at the end of regulation and in overtime to lift the Wolf Pack to victory at 1:52 a.m. Eastern.
BIG TEN TITLE CHASE#7 Wisconsin 70, Northwestern 23: The Badgers take care of business in a big way, using a strong game from quarterback Scott Tolzien and huge rushing games from Montee Ball (178 yards) and James White (133) to likely clinch a trip to the Rose Bowl as the Big Ten champion after tiebreakers.
#8 Ohio State 37, Michigan 7: The Buckeyes' defense shuts down Michigan as Ohio State picks up its seventh straight win over its archrival while also earning a share of its sixth straight Big Ten title.
#10 Michigan State 28, Penn State 22: The Spartans post their first victory in State College since 1965 - the year before Joe Paterno became Penn State's head coach - and clinch a share of their first Big Ten title since 1990.
OTHER RIVALRY GAMES#9 Oklahoma State, #13 Oklahoma: The Big 12 South is decided in Bedlam as the Sooners and Cowboys each score two touchdowns within 92 seconds late in the fourth quarter, but Oklahoma comes out on top and will likely win the BCS Standings tiebreaker to advance to the Big 12 title game.
#14 Missouri 35, Kansas 7: In the 119th renewal of the nation's second-oldest rivalry, Missouri cruises to its fourth 10-win season in program history and a share of the Big 12 North title - though Nebraska goes to the Big 12 Championship game due to its victory over the Tigers.
#16 Virginia Tech 37, Virginia 7: Ryan Williams rushes for two touchdowns and the Hokies win their 10th straight game as they complete the first undefeated regular season in ACC play since Florida State turned the trick in 2000.
#17 Texas A&M 24, Texas 17: Cyrus Gray rushes for 223 yards and two long touchdowns as Aggie fans can doubly rejoice; the win not only clinches a share of the Big 12 South title, but it also ends Texas' season with a losing record and no bowl for the first time since 1997.
#18 South Carolina 29, Clemson 7: Clemson opened the scoring and that was about all as the Gamecocks, headed to the SEC Championship Game, answered questions about motivation by scoring 29 unanswered points for their second win in a row over the Palmetto State rival for the first time since 1970.
#20 Utah 17, BYU 16: The Utes trail 13-0 entering the fourth quarter but come to life with a pair of touchdowns and a field goal and then Brandon Burton blocks a last-second field goal to hold off archrival BYU as Utah picks up its 10th win of the season.
#22 Florida State 31, Florida 7: The Seminoles, who will play next weekend in the ACC Championship game, use a 21-point second quarter to pull away from the Gators and snap a six-game losing streak against Florida.
#25 Mississippi State 31, Ole Miss 23: Chris Relf throws for a career-high 288 yards and three touchdowns as the Bulldogs win for the first time in Oxford since 1998 - the road team had won only once in the past 12 years of the Egg Bowl rivalry.
CLINCHERS#1 Oregon 48, #21 Arizona 29: The Ducks clinch the Pac-10 title while again compiling a dominant second half, out-scoring the Wildcats, 34-10 to close the game as Darron Thomas throws for three touchdowns and runs for another.
#15 Nebraska 45, Colorado 17: The Huskers clinch the Big 12 North title despite using their backup quarterback as running back Rex Burkhead tallies 101 rushing yards with a TD while also passing for a pair of scores.
Maryland 38, #23 North Carolina State 31: Danny O'Brien has a huge game for Maryland throwing for over 400 yards with four scores as this win is not a clincher for the Terrapins, but it is for Florida State, which wraps up the ACC Atlantic title due to NC State's loss.
CLOSING OUT THE SEASON#3 TCU 66, New Mexico 17: The Horned Frogs close out the regular season in the same dominant fashion as they ran through the bulk of their schedule - piling up 499 yards of offense while holding the hapless Lobos to just 143 yards.
#6 Stanford 38, Oregon State 0: Stanford sets a school record for victories in a season with 11 and keeps its hopes alive for a possible BCS Bowl appearance - the win was also the Cardinal's third shutout this year.
Minnesota 27, #24 Iowa 24: Iowa closes a disappointing regular season with a surprising loss to the Gophers as they give up a fourth-quarter lead for the fourth time in Big Ten play.
WORTH MENTIONINGWest Virginia 35, Pittsburgh 10: A crucial Big East victory for the Mountaineers in the backyard brawl throws the league-race into further disarray as three teams (Pitt, UConn, West Virginia) are now tied for first.
UConn 38, Cincinnati 17: Jordan Todman rushes for 175 yards and three touchdowns as the Huskies now control their own destiny - a win over USF on Saturday sends them to a BCS Bowl.
Tennessee 24, Kentucky 14: The Volunteers win their 26th straight game over the Wildcats to become bowl eligible with four wins in a row after starting the year 2-6.
Northern Illinois 71, Eastern Michigan 3: Flying under the radar from the MAC, Northern Illinois wins its 10th game of the year by piling up 650 yards of offense, including a ridiculous five touchdown runs of 60 yards or more.
#1 Auburn vs. #19 South Carolina (SEC Championship, Atlanta): If Auburn wins, once again, the SEC Championship game would determine one of the teams in the BCS National Championship game. If the Gamecocks win, then head coach Steve Spurrier will be making a return trip to the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
#13 Nebraska vs. #9 Oklahoma (Big 12 Championship, Arlington): Oklahoma has a thrilling win in Bedlam to jump it to the Big 12 title game where Nebraska will try to exit the league at the top with a victory in its final shot at the league title before going to the Big Ten.
#15 Virginia Tech vs. #21 Florida State (ACC Championship, Charlotte): After losing its first two games of the year, Virginia Tech rattled off 10 straight wins. The Hokies hope to make it 11 straight and a trip to the Orange Bowl, but Florida State and first-year head coach Jimbo Fisher have their eyes set on a home state BCS Bowl.
#1 Oregon at Oregon State: The top-ranked Ducks can wrap up their first trip to the BCS National Championship game, but it won't be easy as archrival Oregon State is always tough in the Civil War - the Beavers are also out for revenge as Oregon has foiled the Beavers' Rose Bowl hopes multiple times in recent years.
Connecticut at USF: The Huskies can clinch their first Big East title and first BCS bid with a win on the road over the Bulls.
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati: Pitt needs to upend defending league champ Cincinnati to keep in the mix for the Big East title, but if UConn wins its game, this result becomes irrelevant.
Rutgers at #24 West Virginia: The Mountaineers will win the Big East title with a victory over Rutgers and a UConn loss to USF.
From the players currently on the Watch List for the Manning Award, here are some of the standout stars from week 13:
Landry Jones, Oklahoma(37-of-62, 468 yards, 4 TDs, 3 INT)Despite throwing three interceptions, Landry gets the nod after putting together a sensational second half in a crucial road victory over archrival Oklahoma State to likely put the Sooners in position to go to the Big 12 title game.
G.J. Kinne, Tulsa(22-of-36, 407 yards, 4 TDs, 2 INT)Kinne tallies 400� yards while also rushing for a pair of touchdowns to lift the Golden Hurricane to their ninth victory of the year in a 56-50 upending of Southern Miss.
Andrew Luck, Stanford(21-of-30, 317 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INT)Luck breaks John Elway's Stanford record for TD passes in a season with 27 as Stanford sets a school record with its 11th win, 38-0 over Oregon State.
Cameron Newton, Auburn(13-of-20, 216 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT)Newton doesn't approach his best numbers of the season, but after trailing 24-0, he leads the Tigers to an incredible 28-27 victory over archrival Alabama on the road.
Kyle Padron, SMU(21-of-34, 333 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT)Padron leads the Mustangs to a crucial victory over East Carolina to clinch the Conference USA West title, leading his squad to the game-winning touchdown in overtime of a 45-38 decision.
While the final additions have been made to the Manning Award Watch, all quarterbacks remain eligible to win the award. Here's a look at this week's top performances from quarterbacks who are not on the Watch List:
Ben Chappell, Indiana(31-of-50, 330 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT)Chappell leads the Hoosiers to a victory in their final regular season game, helping them erase a 14-point deficit in a 34-31 overtime victory over state-rival Purdue.
Danny O'Brien, Maryland(33-of-47, 417 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INT)O'Brien sets a career-high for passing yards and connects with Torrey Smith for all four of his TDs as the Terrapins spoil NC State's hopes for an ACC Championship game appearance.
Brock Osweiler, Arizona State(27-of-36, 377 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INT)Osweiler, ASU's backup QB, also rushes for a touchdown as he leads the Sun Devils to a 55-34 victory over UCLA, erasing a 17-point deficit in the process.
Terrance Owens, Toledo(25-of-33, 309 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT)Owens tallies a career-best 309 passing yards and also catches a 28-yard TD pass to lead the Rockets to their eighth win of the year, 42-31, over Central Michigan.
Geno Smith, West Virginia(9-of-12, 212 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT)Smith doesn't throw a lot but he makes them count, averaging 17.7 yards per attempts as he leads the Mountaineers to a key Big East victory over Pittsburgh, 35-10.

Can't wait to try these!
Stephen Reynolds says
Really delicious. However the prep time is not 10 minutes, more like 30 minutes. You will need a little more liquid (milk) for the peanut butter layer to get it smooth to layer on the first layer.
Kelly says
I don't have the pretzels, would you suggest something else?
Angela says
Can I make these without the peanut butter?
Cyd says
Hi Angela, We have never left the peanut butter out of this recipe, it's one of the key flavors. So we don't know what the end result would be. I'm sure you could substitute nutella or cookie butter….something with the same texture to be sure it's not too dry.
geneva lane says
I wish people would only comment if they made the bars…

Here is my attempt at piping rose from buttercream. The buttercream is the chocolate egg-white buttercream from RHC. The cake is the designer baby grand cake base (essentially the german chocolate cake). I think I overbeat the cake batter a bit, they all ended up with a little mounded top, which is actually make it easier to attach the bc roses.
I had a lot of fun piping these roses. I use the wilton decorating book as guide, though mine look very far from the picture in the book LOL. But oh well, it's a first try and it was fun. I'm hoping I'll get better as I do more. Hm now I need to make some mousseline and try to pipe that!

Did you continue breastfeeding when you returned to work?
In November last year an interested study was published into the views of Australian breastfeeding mothers when they returned to work: you can read about the research here. It shows that 92% of women were not given any information about their breastfeeding options before their return to work. Does this surprise you? Were you able to continue breastfeeding when you returned to work?

When I had my first child, I did return to work when I was still breastfeeding. I was not really given any information about breastfeeding options after returning to work. It is unfortunate that more employers do not share information with women returning to work, but it doesn't really surprise me. I was able to work a shorter shift, so I was only there for part of the day. It made it much easier, as I was able to breastfeed before leaving for work and then breastfeed as soon as I got home.

I'm sorry to hear you didn't get much information about breastfeeding and returning to work, Jessica. Sounds like you did a great job breastfeeding around your work anyway! Here's hoping that this forum can help raise awareness of the role of employers in this area.

Well I've been working for four months now and I am still breastfeeding my 19months old son. Though I'm giving him formula milk also esp when I'm not around. As long as my milk supply isn't empty, I will continue breastfeeding!

When I was a child care provider, I had a mom who breastfed her baby. She would pump at work and would breastfeed as soon as she arrived to pick up her child, through the evening and the next morning before bringing baby to me. She also breastfed all weekend long.
It worked out well for mom and baby, and baby got the wonderful benefit of mom's milk, exclusively for the first few months. I think she stopped pumping when baby was around 6 months old, but she continued to breastfeed when she had her baby with her.

Sounds like you are giving your baby just what he needs momikatie: a great example to me and other working mums so thank you for sharing.
Kate - the lady you have written about sounds inspirational to continue to breastfeed her baby in this way. So often I feel that society expects us to change our parenting wishes to fit in with others' expectations. But I want to put my baby's needs first. It's a shame that this seems a controversial point of view to have.

Spinneret is a structured storage engine that can be thought of as an extended tuple storage system. It takes the best aspects of relational, object, and hierarchical databases and throws away the dead weight associated with those technologies. The benefit of Spinneret is that its data model is incredibly flexible, allowing it to expose its underlying data in any number of ways. It operates similar to an object database, but without hard ties to an originating language, and can also behave like a relational database without the burden of complex joins.
Morph is a Java framework that eases the internal interoperability of an application. As information flows through an application, it undergoes multiple transformations. Morph provides a standard way to implement these transformations. In addition to providing a framework for performing transformations, Morph provides implementations of many common transformations. It has been built from the ground up for flexibility and extensibility, and it integrates seamlessly with dependency injection frameworks such as Spring, PicoContainer, and Hivemind.
OpenArm is an implementation of the Open Group's Application Response Measurement (ARM) standard. It provides a complete implementation of the ARM 4.0 Java interfaces, as well as ARM agent functionality that allows you to record your transaction events as log4J logging events, JMS messages, SNMP traps, JMX notifications, or as records in a relational database.
Ammentos is a lightweight persistence framework for JDK 5. It does not require any installation nor configuration; just put a jar file into your classpath and start writing code. It is designed so that your persistence code will be dramatically short and so that you won't have to spend a lot of time to learn how to use it. It is about 72Kb large and it does not require any external library except for your database JDBC driver. You can use it in desktop applications or in server-based environments.
OpenVPS is a set of software built on top of the Linux VServer aimed specifically at Web Hosting. It is not another set of kernel patches, but a set of scripts to create virtual servers, collect resource utilization information, and provide an interface to the customer as well as the administrator.
Jetspeed-2 is a full implementation of the Java Portlet API. It is fully compliant with the Portlet Specification 1.0 (JSR-168). It has passed the TCK (Test Compatibility Kit) suite and is fully CERTIFIED to the Java Portlet Standard. Notable features include security components backed by LDAP and database implementations, and some robust administration interfaces. Custom portals can be built and deployed using the Jetspeed plugin for Maven. Developers can use the Jetspeed PSML language to assemble portlets, and the Apache Portals Bridges project to 'bridge' portals with existing technologies including Struts, JSF, PHP, and Perl. For GUI designers, Jetspeed comes with several built-in templates used to decorate portals and portlets.
x4juli is a port of the main parts of log4j to the J2SE Logging API. The default implementation is incomplete and therefore still not widely used, even when introduced in J2SE 1.4. x4juli provides logmanagers, formatters, handlers, and filters to fill the gap. The interface and use of the original API has not been changed. Additionally, x4juli delivers a native implementation of the Jakarta Commons Logging (JCL) API and the Simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J) API.

"Persecution is good for you" freeman said, pointing to the Jewish people "conquering" Europe after the Holocaust as an example.
None of the contestants, freeman says, were actually convicted of the charges for which they arrested.
His rendering of a photorealistic portrait of freeman was accomplished "using only a finger, an iPad Air, and the app Procreate."
Mr. freeman frequently maintained that the larger bin Laden family was closely aligned with American interests.
The liberal agenda in the United States is systematically working to keep white people down, freeman explained.
The effect on freeman Todder was not at all what Bruce had expected.
For a long time it seemed that the freeman's prerogative was being taken from him.
freeman sternly ordered her to be quiet, but she did not heed him.
I took home, to-day, a couple of aprons made for Mrs. freeman.
This court also made the decision of whether a certain person was a villein or freeman.

The Internal Revenue Service published a rule in the Federal Register requiring employers to provide all employees (full and part time) with information regarding their health coverage options by Oct. 1, 2013.
Mandated by the Affordable Care Act, the new rule applies to businesses that fall under the Fair Labor Standards Act regardless of whether the employer offers health insurance to any of its employees. Businesses will be required to notify new hires of coverage options within 14 days of their start date.
The Department of Labor has created model notices for employers that do offer and do not offer health coverage to employees. Notices must include information about what is provided in the Health Insurance Marketplace, an employee's eligibility for premium tax credits for certain plans, and that purchasing coverage in the Marketplace may mean forfeiting an employer-sponsored health care plan.

Snooki Is a Marshmallow Peep + More: 10 Celebs as Your Favorite Easter Candy
A question for the ages: If celebrities were different varieties of Easter candy, what would they be? Here's what we thought!
-Lucia Peters
Happy almost-Easter, Bettys! Even if you don't celebrate the holiday (it's this Sunday, March 31), it's hard not to love a day that's all about rebirth and renewal and such. This one has an added bonus, though. Can you guess what it is?
If you guessed "Easter candy," you would be correct! From Cadbury Crème Eggs to colorful jelly beans, Easter is chock full of tasty treats. Naturally, though, as we were devouring our assorted holiday-themed goodies, we got to thinking: If celebrities were types of Easter candy, what would they be? Here's what we came up with! Do you agree? Disagree? Tell us who you'd pair with what sweet in the comments!

One of our new guys by mistake DELETED our main users Table. Oooooooh
Thanks goodness we have a recent backup of the Database that contains this Table,which backup was made a few days ago.
So my question is how does one just restore a SINGE Table from a MySQL backup?Since we do not want to overwrite the other Tables that are up to date and Ok.
Thank you for your attention to this very URGENT matter.
open the backup file in a text editor
find the CREATE TABLE statement for the users table, along with all the INSERT statements
copy them out and run them
1st, the MySQL backup file s1_backup.sql is HUGE! It is like 1 GB.So I doubt many Text editors could handle that.
But assuming I can open this .sql file in a Text editor, what does it mean:"find the CREATE TABLE statement for the users table, along with all the INSERT statementscopy them out and run them"
FYI, the MySQL back up file that we have, has backup of many Databases in it, and not just the DB from which DB wewant to restore 1 Table to the site.
So what I am looking for is a command which command would restore just 1 Table from a MySQL dump that contains many Databasesto the working Database containing the effected Table.
i'm sure if you search hard, you can find one
my text editor (♥ ultraedit ♥) can handle files up to 4GB
as for how to find a string of text, that's trivial
Actually can we just to this:
1- Restore the backed up databases to my desktop
2- Then just copy the corrupted Table files, that is .frm .MYD .MYI, of the Table that we want to restore, from mydesktop to the server where the production DB is at.
Would this work to restore the Table that has been deleted by mistake?
if you have the space on your desktop, that's great
restore backup to desktop
mysqldump the single table into its own .sql file
run the .sql file into the live database
Actually I am getting Error messages when trying to restore the backed up .sql file of the dump of all databases
I am getting Error messages regarding Tables that are old and not important!
What suggestions please?
go back to your backup .sql file and extract the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for the user table
Not sure how that is going to help.
We are entering super critical here, since it is 3PM and we have still no restored the User table.I think best thing is we have a MySQL Admin expert restore this Table for a fee. OTN, can you recommend 1 or 2 good MySQL Admin expert (or firms) that can do such fix? And hopefully at reasonable rates.
So I can see the (deleted) Table in the UltraEdit that you suggested. 1st thanx for that suggestion.
So can you please tell me exactly, steps by step, how I restore this 1 Table from this backup of multiple MySQL databases to the production MySQL server where all the Databases are seating?
No, sorry, take back the last message.I cannot see the Table in question in UltraEdit. I guess UltraEdit was able to open the MySQL up to a certain point and not after.
So if you can recommend some MySQL Admin expert to take care of this fix remotely that would be best.ThanX.
All SQL statements [should] end with a semicolon.So, if you begin at the CREATE TABLE statement and follow all the parameters (which are separated by commas) to the end (most likely a semicolon), that is the text you want to PRESERVE. I recommend you copy and paste that into another text file. Yes, you can open a simple text file and paste that in.
Then do the same with any INSERT statements that mention that same table.
Once you have completed these steps, simply save the text file and rename it to a .sql extension. This is really not even necessary but will simplify the operation in your mind.
IMPORT that new .sql file into MySQL and you have just SAVED THE DAY.
Grab a coffee and go home.
ThanX I took care off this.Moral of this lesson: do not backup multiple Databases, but backup 1 DB at a time.Good day all

CARY, NC -- The Pantry Inc. is piloting Vendgogh LLC's beverage vending system at fuel islands in several of its Kangaroo Express-branded stores in Raleigh and Durham, NC.
Vendgogh's vending systems are integrated with the Kangaroo Express point-of-sale system, giving customers the opportunity to purchase fuel and cold drinks with a single swipe of their credit or debit cards without leaving the fuel island. Customers are prompted to add a beverage to their order during the fuel purchase process: the drink is dispensed at the fuel island.
"This is another option we are testing to serve our on-the-go guests," said John Fisher, an operations vice-president at The Pantry and Kangaroo Express.
With more than 1,600 stores in 13 states, The Pantry Inc., based in Cary, NC, is the leading independently operated c-store chain in the southeastern U.S. and one of the largest in the country.
Vendgogh's first gas-island vending system went online in June 2010. The Cary, NC-based company also has vending machines on service islands at WilcoHess in North Carolina, Douglass Distributing in Texas and Murphy Oil in Georgia, Arkansas and North Carolina.

Elle Doubles Down on Fashion Week
Who: Levi Palmer from Belton, Texas, and Matthew Harding met at Central Saint Martins and started their own label after graduation with the aim of making clothes that are about the wearer more than anything else.
What they design: Simple white shirts that are classic and progressive at the same time.
Why you should know them: They're the favorite among industry insiders looking for a minimal off-duty staple. Think garments for real people.
In their own words: "This season, we are continuing our exploration of the concept of the shirt, adapting and developing traditional techniques into a modern aesthetic. Classic cottons are molded to create new forms and silhouettes through a mixture of fluidity and structure in sheers and solids. Inspired by a mixture of references, the collection creates a directional yet understandable beauty."
Where to Buy: Fivestory (New York) and Ikram (Chicago)
Who: Jackie Lee worked as a pattern cutter for several years before graduating from Central Saint Martins and setting out on her own. She made her London Fashion Week debut in February with the help of NEWGEN.
What she designs: Clean-cut, sleek dresses and separates with a hint of 1920s silhouettes underpinning the overall feel
Why you should know her: She's at the forefront of London's new wave of soft, feminine minimalism and with super-cool stockists like Dover Street Market and Fivestory, J. JS Lee is going to get a lot bigger in the near future.
In her own words: "The J. JS LEE women doesn't have a specific visual, however what is important is her personality and character. She has my personality which is quiet, simple, but she embraces modernity with subtle understated presence."
Where to Buy: Fivestory and online at antonioli.eu

BREVARD, N.C.- In one of the wildest endings in Brevard College soccer history, the Tornados claimed a 2-1 victory over Catawba in a South Atlantic Conference match Saturday afternoon at Brevard Soccer Field in Brevard, N.C.
The Tornados (4-8, 2-5 SAC) have won consecutive home matches for the first time since the beginning of the season (Sept. 7 & Sept. 11) while earning their fourth win on the season. BC hasn't won four matches in a season since the 2008 campaign. The Indians (7-4-1, 3-4-1 SAC) saw their two-match win streak snapped while losing on the road for the first time in nearly a month (Sept. 25).
"Hard work won us the game today. We had to make things happen by working hard, staying on track and sticking to the game plan," said BC head coach and athletic director Juan Mascaro. "We just love Brevard College," Mascaro stated on his team being 4-2 at home this season.
BC freshman Alec Goettl jump started the Tornado offense with a header in the seventh minute after receiving a chip feed from Micah Bagwell to give the Tornados an early 1-0 lead.
"Coach put me in to outrun defenders and I did," said Goettl. "It was a beautiful cross from Bagwell."
Both teams racked up shots in the first half as the teams combined for 15 total.
In the 74th minute, the Tornados fell a man short following the second of two yellow cards issued to Marcelo Betcer. The Indians wasted no time capitalizing while Corey Faughnan headed in a pass from Michael Waller in the 76th minute to knot the match at 1.
With time dwindling down the in the second half and overtime almost certain, Winston Haddock pressured the Indian goalkeeper Frankie Cardelle while he was retrieving a ball causing Cardelle to misjudge the ball allowing it to slip past him for an own goal. The goal came with 1:57 remaining in regulation.
The teams combined for 26 shots while both goalies earned four saves on the day. Goettl paced the Tornado squad with four shots while Rhem Stubbs and Betcer racked up three. Faughnan paced both teams with eight while five landed on target.
The Tornados look to continue their winning ways Tuesday when they welcome Anderson in a SAC match at 4 p.m. at Brevard Soccer Field.
