Treating ALS with stem cell injections: A clinical trial
Dr. Eva Feldman, a neurologist, researcher and director of the A. Alfred Taubman Biomedical Research Institute at the University of Michigan, is the principal investigator for a landmark clinical trial involving patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease. The FDA-approved trial, which currently is in the safety phase, involves injecting hundreds of thousands of stem cells into the spinal cords of patients with ALS. As Dr. Feldman explains in this video, it is hoped that the stem cells will provide a healthier environment for the patients' own nerve cells, preserving function and improving quality of life.

On Saturday, December 17, the two Cliffside Park High School FTC Robotics Teams competed in the RoboJoust showdown at Livingston High School. Team 251 fought long and hard but eventually succumbed to superior competition. However, team 5212 accomplished the first First Place finish in the schools short robotics competition history.
The game for 2011-12 consists of an eclectic mix of scoring opportunities. Both teams concentrated on the task of having their robots pick up racquet balls off the ground, scoring them in baskets, and then elevating the baskets for points.
Each team consists of 10 students and are both mentored by Mr. Martin Carcich and Mr. David Rappaport. Students learn mechanical construction skills, electrical circuits, and the engineering programming language Labview which are taught outside of the normal science and math curriculums. The students worked long and hard on their projects, and as far as the mentors are concerned, everyone wins.
Team 251 will get another chance January 21st at Heightstown High School while Team 5212 will compete in the New Jersey Regional Championship Feb 11 at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark. We invite the public to attend. Admission is free and the events are a lot of fun.
The staff and students wish to thank the Cliffside Park Board of Education, Mr. Romagnino, and Ms Morrow for their continued support.

Jon Young Lyrics
Jon Young is an unsigned artist and producer from Orlando,
FL. He was born in Boston, MA but moved to Florida a year
after he was born. He grew up with an older brother who was
a guitar player and drummer playing in venues since he was
14 and would even host parties and play live in the

Jon was heavily influenced by hip hop since the age of 7
when he was introduced to it by a childhood friend. He

alright so its been a while since i posted here and frankly i havent been buying many games bieng un employed for over a year, acually i bought one in the past month and it was an initial D saturn game that isnt as fun as i thought it would be.
so any way on topic i was in target about an hour ago and they have the red boxed gadget holidy item thingies and one of them was a "USB Massager" it was $5 so i grabbed one to check it out even though i dont have REZ but i instantly thought it could be used for it.
so people who are deperate for one might wanna check it out for $5 and it might work its worth it, if not then well you have a handy dandy neato gadget thingy.
heres a time saver incase your really technical so if you want to know its got the 4 connectors in the USB end but the massager end only has Red and Black (aka USB 5v) and nothing else so its just pulling power and also dont pull it apart because it really doesent go back together, the screws are stripped on mione and i am gonna have to find bigger to screw it back together and i need some glue.
i'm not sure if rez sends a signal of on and off to the USB or if theres something in the viberator that decodes a signal so if some one wants to try it out thats much appreciated
just thought i would throw it ot there

Put the controler down and walk slowly backwards away from it.
Then no one will get hurt.
The fact you asked that question is profoundly baffling.
That's like trying to decide on weather to have spaghetti for dinner or invent cold fusion... for dinner.
Not only are they so opposite that it makes black and white look the same, but any Guitar Hero game should never even be considered to be put before a PROPER game.
Don't get me wrong, I used to like Metallica (before the good bassist left), but you should never chose a rhythm action over a "real" game. Not even if it comes with free lesbians and a cake.

Will the city take a stand?
I don't have much time this morning, but I do want to say something about Smith Auto Parts situation. Both papers carry stories today on the issue.
Willis Smith Jr., owner of Smith Auto Parts, appeared before the East Liverpool Board of Housing Appeals last night. The board decided to give him more time to repair his lost-cause building at the corner of East Fourth and Broadway. It's a complete mystery why the city continues to placate this guy. My hope is that the board will eventually do what's right and quit listening to Smith's excuses.
According to The Review, "Smith said his building is on both local and state historic listings." If this means anything at all, it serves only to demonstrate how he has thumbed his nose at the city, the state, and historic preservationists by letting the building fall apart.
It used to be Frank Dawson and the East Liverpool Alumni Association; now Smith has decided Kent State is the town's enemy. Smith is quoted in The Review as saying, "Kent wants my building. They want to build two-story dorms, parking lots. … Are we going to tear things down to accommodate Kent?" He added that the city was "big on" KSU's university district project.
The truth is that Smith has been successful for at least 20 years in putting his own interests before those of the city. He wants to blame everyone but himself for the gross neglect of his building. His plan to fix the building is preposterous. Again, from the Review:
"Smith [said he] would like to take the top floor off the building …. and [install] a flat roof. He said he would also like to take the deteriorating decorative 'rickrack' down, paint windows and replace boards on some. He mentioned that he has spoken to someone who would be willing to paint one side and put a sign up for the Mountaineer Racetrack and Gaming Resort."
I won't even bother commenting on that plan. Surely the Board of Housing Appeals and the Design and Review Board will not fall for this. It's time to quit letting Smith wag the city's tail. Let's get this dump down now. No more delay tactics and kooky plans. Just do it.

Economics and Development
Although it is well accepted that sex work and poverty, stigma and inequality are linked, too often simplistic assumptions about these factors lead to ineffective, and even harmful, programmes and policies. PLRI aims to establish broader understandings of the economics of sex work and relate them to the challenges of optimising the benefits of economic programs and policies on development, human rights and public health outcomes. We are also committed to helping establish broader understandings of the economics of the sex sector, the demand for, and supply of, commercial sex; the factors that determine prices and behaviours within sex industries, the economic re-distributional effects of commercial sex and the impact of economic trends on people that buy, sell or trade sexual services. To achieve this PLRI research will analyse sex work economies as they relate to social protection, livelihoods strengthening and equitable development policy and programming.

April 2012 article from GIM International magazine
Mobile LiDAR is an innovative mapping solution that incorporates the most advanced LiDAR sensors, cameras and position/navigation to collect survey-quality point data quickly and accurately. SAM, Inc. has used LiDAR technology since 1998, and was an early adopter of the Lynx™ Mobile Mapping system.
Mobile LiDAR offers numerous advantages over aerial mapping and conventional ground surveys. This non-invasive method of surveying can be operated day or night, with efficient acquisition of millions of 3-D design points per minute. Mobile laser scanning provides data density of up to 150 points per square foot (dependent on system settings for the project), allowing for faster coordinate acquisition compared with all other survey methods.
Benefits of mobile LiDAR scanning include:
Cost savings: Advanced mobile mapping technology gathers all required data point measurements in one pass, eliminating the need for additional mobilization costs.
Time savings: Mobile LiDAR gives SAM, Inc. the ability to collect up to 400,000 points per second, compared to one point every few minutes with traditional survey technologies.
Enhanced data: The system provides designers with a more "complete" picture of the project with survey accurate point measurements and the ability to locate features that may be inaccessible with other methods.
Increased safety: The system also provides increased safety for project personnel and the general public because data can be collected remotely, day or night, removing the need for traffic diversion required by traditional surveying activities.

A New Hope editions.... Edit
Hi... an abridged "young readers edition" of the Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker was published at the same time as the original novel.
In the UK (Sphere Books), the original paperback had a cover with a white background, and the Young Readers edition had a red background. I searched on the internet and found this reference:
Here's an image of the UK cover:
Might be nice to add this the the novelisation entry.
Centerpoint Station Edit
Hi, by questionable I meant - is it anywhere written, Han Solo actualy saw or even know about Centerpoint before A New Hope? If not, I'm not surprised he reacts that way when first seeing Death Star I. So, it's still POV unless is canonized in some source, he had previous knowledge. Cheers. Btw read Centerpoint Station talk page under Continuity Headache - somebody already explain very same situation there.--Jedi Marty 11:53, February 25, 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for your reply. Well, I was giving some thoughts about what you wrote to me and I partly agree with you. However going back through Han's biography and what I remember novels I read about him, first you learned a lot about Centerpoint was during Corellian Crisis in 18 ABY. Although it was there centuries before it has "no particular meaning" and frankly I don't think people from Corellian system even care (why should Han?) about purpose or in this case size. With a bit of stretch I could compare that to planet repulsors hidden and discovered during same crisis. Han wasn't archaelogist, you know to go after wonders of galaxy, although it was in his home system :). And it's nowhere stated (like you said) he knew about existence of Centerpoint before seeing Death Star I for the first time. It's really questionable when he learns about it's existence (surely before 18 ABY). That's why I point to NPOV. So we can only speculate and debate or like you said going thru logical conclusion based on canon. Where is that borderline between those two? Btw I noticed logical conclusion vs speculation and assumption is many times source of disputes here among users. But I'm glad you brought that up.--Jedi Marty 21:32, March 2, 2012 (UTC)
Hi Asithol, I'm surprised by your reply. I already put this thing behind.
Well, I still don't see any contradiction or even need for retcon, though I agree with all facts you wrote. However it's still your POV, which I respect, but you know per wookieepedia policy POV is not allowed to be included in articles. I'll explain why I don't see any contradiction further. First of all let's get into account Han skepticism f.e. you know he thought about The Force as some kind of hokey religion that time. Next, what is common knowledge of people in the galaxy how usually big space stations are and what Han considers common knowledge by his experience and travel? Btw. you know it's different when you read or learn about something and actually see that thing.
Now, let's break down that particular scene: Luke Skywalker first says: it's a small moon, then Obi-Wan Kenobi reply: It's no moon, it's a space station, then Han reply with his already mentioned skepticism: It's too big to be a space station. So first thought was Luke's: Death Star 1 is to be a small moon. If you compare even small moon with space station, you'd logically (Centerpoint is exception) doubt something first thought to be moon, to be actually space station (also see how Death Star 1 resemble small moon in shape? - hence Luke's first thought about it). More, Centerpoint Station wasn't in common knowledge a you know it was a mystery for people in IU, except for people, who lived there. And like I wrote before it wasn't common size of space station either (TCSWE describes that as Enormous space station). That I think explains Han's skeptic reaction and that's why I don't see any contradiction here. Btw. who is Allen, you mentioned on the end of your post and his relation to our discussion?--Jedi Marty 15:13, June 13, 2012 (UTC)
Hutt CitationEdit
Hiya Asithol, sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I was away on holiday and without internet access so was unable to see any edits on my talk page. To answer your question, I believe I was attempting to cite the Databank Hutt article when it existed at the time. I think I tried copying the citation from another page but I think I failed in that goal :( But anyway, I'm pretty sure I was using the Databank at the time. Darth Batrus 19:03, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
Talk Page Edit
We've never seen a need to create a page for it. Allowing the restarting topics months or years after they've ended can make navigating the page by looking at dates tricky and, even more importantly, it makes archiving pages a true hassle. Just don't do it, please. You're more than welcome to start new threads on whatever you want that follow {{Talkheader}}, but don't post in dead threads. NaruHina Talk 19:26, August 6, 2012 (UTC)
Re: Galactic Standard notation Edit
Hello, Asithol! To be frank ("I must be Frank, Your Majesty."), I didn't even remember adding that to the article. I did check Order 66: A Republic Commando Novel just a minute ago, and it seems my interpretation was clearly in error. Thanks for pointing that out! Feel free to correct the article. :) --LelalMekha (talk) 08:47, April 1, 2013 (UTC)
Naming policy Edit
Hello -- I've started a CT thread at Forum:CT:Naming policy: minor change to definite/indefinite article usage based on your proposed changes to the naming policy. Hope you don't mind that I went ahead and submitted the proposal. As you said, it's a minor change, so I'd expect it to pass shortly. Cheers, —Silly Dan (talk) 19:36, May 30, 2013 (UTC)
Reversion Edit
Certainly. The reasons were:
- Adding a real-world correlation. Things in the SW universe should not be equated to their real life counterpart. Laws in the SW universe are not necessarily the same as ours, and should not be treated as such.
- Adding dates in parenthesis - using parenthesis is a generally discouraged practice.
- Altering the formatting around "Look Sir, Droids!" As an article/short story within the magazine, the name should not be italicised.
Hope that helps. - Sir Cavalier of One(Squadron channel) 07:15, August 29, 2013 (UTC)
- The point I was making is that the information is not relevant at all to the article in question. Law in the SW universe is not analogous to our own, and pointing out similarities or differences is completely unnecessary. For that reason, I have again removed the sentence. You are correct over the formatting issue, and I apologise for misreading the coding. As for a the "discouraged practice" - its not codified in the MoS or LG, true, but the inclusion of any information in parenthesis is generally preferred to be either removed, or rewritten to eliminate the need for parenthesis. I have also corrected the "Gentech" error. - Sir Cavalier of One(Squadron channel) 10:10, August 31, 2013 (UTC)

Product Description
Edith Roosevelt was Teddy Roosevelt's second wife as his first wife died after birthing their first child, Alice. Teddy was so distraught over the loss of his wife that he hardly spoke of her for the rest of his life; even to his own daughter. Roosevelt quickly began courting Edith, whom he had known since he was a child as his younger sister and her were childhood playmates. They married a year and a half later after enough time had elapsed for appearance sake. Edith was troubled by the appearance of the Executive Mansion and decided to completely remodel the family's living quarters. It was also during this period that the Executive Mansion's name changed to the White House.

Of course, nothing Obama does can be misconstrued as pro-black / anti-white. For example: President Obama's selection for Labor Secretary, Thomas Perez, was instrumental in blocking the prosecution of several New Black Panther Party members on charges of voter intimidation in the 2008 election.
And as always, Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder backed the decision.
I'm sure it's just another mere coincidence in the grand scheme of things.
"Thomas Perez, was instrumental in blocking the prosecution of several New Black Panther Party members"

We just spent 5 nights in this lovely condo! Our family enjoyed the spacious living room and having the large balcony to spend countless hours on. The place was spotless and met all our expectations as listed. The pool was a big hit with the kids too! We've been to this area 5 times and love it even more each time we come back. PJ's was good as always and this time we ventured to South St. Pete to Hurricane's. The service at Hurricane's was SLOW and it was pricey for the food plus having to sit outside. But it was tasty and the kid enjoyed watching the sunset during dinner. Otherwise, it was a wonderful time and we look forward to coming back! The only negative thing I have to say, was the lack of toilet paper in the condo. Having 5 people staying for 5 nights, two rolls just doesn't cut it! Maybe have a few extra so guests won't have to purchase their own. Also extra trash bags would help. The front desk DOES NOT help out with any of these items, even if in an emergency.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.

I'm seriously sick of waiting ages and ages and ages for games in HON.
As someone who has always thought HON was a far superior game I am finding myself playing DOTA 2 more and more for one simple reason: when I queue up in Dota 2, it doesn't take 20 minutes to find a game.
I have spent over 2 hours in queues today across two groups. One of the groups was an average of 1550 with no more than 150 MMR spread from the lowest (1490) to the highest (1640). The queue I'm currently in is 18 minutes in and we range from 1631 to 1702, with 5 people.
I simply cannot understand what kind of garbage algorithm is used to match people in this game when I can solo queue and be matched with people literally 250 MMR in difference from me but cannot 5 man queue at 1550 and find a game.
DOTA 2 has 1/4th the number of people online at any given time compared to HON and finds games instantly, even when I queue with friends of mine who are highly ranked.
I think I spend over half of my time with the HON client open while in queue. It's a ****ing waste of time. I suppose that since 1600+ MMR already puts you in the top 20% of players and that since S2 refuses to ever reset MMR (since they sell resets individually) there is no way in hell this lack of balance in the matching system will ever be addressed.
The solution to playing HON and enjoying yourself appears to be this: "be bad as ****." If you're not lower than 1500 it takes hours across the course of a day to find the games you are playing in. I guess that just reflects S2's business model, which has always been to cater to the lowest common denominator.

The dog, which was not on a leash, has a history of attacking people, and bit a parking attendant last year in Aptos during a Fourth of July parade. Although the boy is showing no serious injuries, authorities want to check the animals vaccination records too, to make sure that no diseases were passed on to the boy.

Standard organizations and committees working on building codes and green building standards are typically not frequented by architects. Yet, these committees do more and more influence what performance criteria architects have to design for. This situation is undesirable since there is not feedback mechanism that reports how standard requirements influence design decisions in practice. The ambition of this project is to bring some of the questions raised in committees into schools of architecture, have students and faculty contribute to them in an academic context and to then report the findings back to the standards world.
In 2011 we developed and tested a classroom exercise on daylighting that can serve as an introductory, hands-on exercise in any course or module on daylighting (paper). All you need is a daylit space and a light meter. The space should be deep enough so that there are actually parts of it that occupants might consider to be "non daylit". In the exercise students are first asked to draw the daylit boundary in a space following their intuition and to then conduct a few illuminance measurements. The instructor then plots all student assessments onto a single floor plan and determines the mean daylit area for the space along with a series of daylight simulations. The educational value of the exercise is that the students understand what their personal target illuminance for a given space type is and how their personal approach to daylight compares to current and emerging daylighting metrics. The value for research is that we gain more insight into how well our metrics mimic occupant assessments.
The goal of this project is to collaborate with Building Science Educators worldwide and to repeat the Daylit Area Exercise in a variety of climates and cultures. 15 universities form across the globe have participated in this study. The results will be presetned at this web site by the end of 2013.

Jade Evori Master is an 11 Year Old Girl from the U.S.A.
Jade started singing when she was just two years old and people really started to notice her vocal ability when she was four years old. Jade's very first performance was when she was in Kindergarten after being asked to be a guest artist at her school's 5th grade talent show. She started taking a musical theater class at the age of seven, and started training vocally at the age of eight and soon afterwards started competing on a regular basis. Jade has earned 10 First Place wins so far but she prefers to perform in non-competitive Events and Benefits. Jade has donated her time and talents to The American Cancer Society's Relay for Life Events, Kids Cancer Foundation, Laura Brooke Music Foundation, Conservatory for the Performing Arts, The Resource Depot, The Equestrian Aid Foundation and the CAFCI Student Assistance Program. Jade and her incredibly giving family hope to be invited to many more events to help raise awareness and cash for deserving causes and foundations.
HOBBIES INCLUDE: READING, DANCING, DRAWING, ACTING, SINGING, SONG WRITING, and GUITAR PLAYING!
Jade entered a contest to win a Daisy Rock Guitar. Clicking her "Like" button got her over 300 likes and she won the prize. When Jade heard the good news that she was getting a guitar she was on top of the world with excitement. When Jade received the guitar she was so very happy, a true happy girl. | CHECK OUT HER PHOTO ALBUM,ON stars of the future |
When I hear Jade sing she sounds like a beautiful angel. Jade brings us joy and happiness while always having a smile on her face, and she always puts a smile on the faces of the people listening to her sing and perform. Jade's music will bring tears of joy to your eyes and I just love listening to her music which always brings joy to our world. We all need more joy and happiness in the world and Jade is always true to herself and she never gives up on what she loves. Hearing the beautiful voice coming from this young lady is like hearing angels sing. Jade's dreams to become a professional singer are coming closer all of the time. What really makes her special is that she goes for her dreams and never gives up on what she loves doing. Jade's star is shining bright because she is a true star!
Jade loves to perform and enjoys seeing the smiles on people's faces when she sings. When she sings she gives people goosebumps and chills that run down their spines. Some of the songs Jade performs are done while being in character, and she has made people cry because she really gets into the character and sings with tremendous emotion. Jade takes a lot of time to go through the lyrics of songs she is learning so she understands what the song is about and what emotions she should be portraying. When she sings she draws a crowd because people can't believe the voice that comes out of that tiny little body. She not only sings but acts and dances, too! Jade is also part of a FAME Dance Company and she is also learning to play the guitar while trying to work with her teachers to write original songs.
Jade sings with all her heart and when I see and hear her singing it is like hearing an angel singing. Jade sings her little heart out and everyone loves hearing her sing because she has such a beautiful voice. Everyone can tell how much she loves to sing because when seeing her sing you also see her smiling with joy, and she loves to put a smile on the faces of others.

It's officially summer - and the timing is right because it's all about the heat and humidity as we go through the upcoming week.
What makes it officially summer at 7:09 PM? That's the time of the summer solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere reaches its maximum tilt towards the sun. At this point. the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer. The summer solstice marks the official start of the season, and it's also the longest day of the year. In Greenville, sunrise was at 6:16 AM and sunset is at 8:46 PM. In Asheville, we've got a little more daylight - sunrise was at 6:15 AM and sunset won't occur until 8:49 PM.
Highs today will be a bit warmer than yesterday - we'll reach the low 90s in the Upstate and the mid 80s in WNC. The humidity will continue to bump up, so it'll feel a bit hotter. While most of the area will stay dry under mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies, an isolated late-day shower or storm may affect the Mountains of WNC, NE GA or the Upstate.
Tomorrow and Friday bring more heat and humidity, with small PM t-storm chances. A cold front will make the chance of a storm a little better in WNC, but there isn't any widespread rain or storm threat coming for the end of the week. As we head into the weekend, Saturday will also offer an isolated PM storm chance. Highs will stay in the upper 80s (Mountains) and low 90s (Upstate) through the start of the weekend.
Sunday and Monday look dry, but these days will bring even higher heat. Highs will be near-90° in the Mountains those days, while Upstate spots will hit the mid 90s... it will stay humid, too.
Many of our weather models are picking up on a developing low around Florida and the Gulf coast over the next few days - but it does appear this will stay away from us, instead bringing high rain chances to Florida and the southeastern coastline. We'll keep an eye on it - and the National Hurricane Center is, too. You can read its discussion here.
Hope you have a great day, and happy summer!!

News Release
The Terriers got on the board early after Jamie Haas hit a one-out single, and UMBC pitcher Lauren Nicholson walked two consecutive batters before BU�s Chiya Louie hit a sacrifice fly to score Haas.
The Retrievers threatened in the second inning when freshman Reilly Ward led off with a walk, and senior Crystal Beveridge and freshman Gina Olivieri hit back-to back singles to load the bases with one out. However, UMBC would not be able to get anyone across the plate as Freeman managed to get sophomore Tara Lindsey and senior Jen SanFilippo to fly out.
In the top of the third, Terrier first baseman Liz Alley blasted a solo shot to give BU a 2-0 lead.
For the game, Freeman allowed no hits and struck out four while walking three to get the win and improve to 10-11. Nicholson was tabbed with the loss despite allowing just four hits while striking out five and walking three. She fell to 7-6 on the season.
UMBC returns to action on Wednesday when they travel to

COLSONOEL is a one day inter-university postgraduate symposium which brings together research students working in the fields of Old Norse, Old English and Latin at Oxford University, Cambridge University and UCL. Having been hosted by Oxford and Cambridge in recent times, this year's event will be hosted by UCL with the generous support of FIGS. The day will feature a series of papers given by students from across these institutions as well as poster session showcasing more visual research. There will be ample time for lively and constructive debate between participants as well as time for valuable networking between attendees.
COLSONOEL aims to provide a forum for postgraduate researchers to discuss their ideas in a supportive environment, encouraging participants to think beyond the confines of their own discipline and subject. We hope this symposium will lead to productive and long lasting connections within the Old Norse, Old English and Latin academic communities.
Attendance is free but please email email@example.com to confirm you wish to attend.

Nick Noonan capped a five-run 9th with a two-out grand slam, as the Giants rallied to defeat the Cubs (and leave a lot of Cubs fans speechless) before a record crowd of 13,024 under sunny skies at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in Mesa this afternoon.
box score
Also, the Cubs sent have sent non-roster RHPs Esmailin Cardidad and Ken Kadokura to minor league camp. This brings the Cubs Spring Training roster down to 43 (including Ted Lily and Kosuke Fukudome, who are still playing in the WBC)
The 35-year old Karokura was making his U. S. debut after spending 13 years playing in Japan, and I suspect he will be released (or will request his release) prior to Opening Day and will return to Japan. He probably isn't at the point in his career where he would want to spend a year playing AAA ball. He didn't really have a bad Spring with the Cubs, but he had a tendency to get ahead of hitters 0-1 or 1-2 and then nibble, nibble, nibble. I don't think Manager Lou Piniella likes that approach too much.
Caridad is a different matter, however, I have him rated as one of the Cubs Top Ten prospects, and he pitched very well so far this Spring and could surface sometime this season in Chicago. Now 25, Caridad was (like Alfonso Soriano and Timo Perez) originally signed by the Hiroshima Carp and was assigned to their Dominican Academy, before pitching in Japan in 2007. But Caridad became a free-agent on a technicality after that season, and Cubs Player Personnel Director Oneri Fleita personally signed the right-hander while on a trip to the Dominican Republic in December 2007 Caridad pitched at Daytona and Tennessee in 2008 (going a combined 13-7, 3.73 ERA, 1.11 WHIP), and then pitched in the AFL with the Mesa Solar Sox in October-November '08. He can start or relieve.
As for today's game...
Another pitcher on the market.
FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Indians are listening to trade offers for Justin Masterson.
It would be awesome if there were some rumors of the Cubs looking for something other than RPs.
Joel Sherman@Joelsherman1 Outside execs say Wittenmyer's writing has its problems, hole in head that might not get kind rumors #Cubsfans want.
d.brown's swing can get sloppy and long...he loves going for outside stuff, especially high.
he couldn't make up his mind whether he was a pull hitter or a reacher in a kinda erratic fashion last season. when he hit a lot of homers up and in the outer part of the zone last may, he spent a few months going back/forth biting at stuff outside the zone trying to replicate may.
his K rate doesn't mean much...quality of contact is in play.
I think theo and friends have a plan. I don't think the ownership group is going to have the chops to participate as a top 3 market team, and I also hope I'm wrong about that.
tweet there from Witty says Cubs exploring reliever trade market, Storen and Clippard mentioned
Outside execs say (that totally aren't associated with another NL East team)
way to kill my buzz...although as I said, think you'd have to throw in Biddle to make the deal and not sure he's available.
that being said, a pretty consistent 18.4% career K rate isn't indicitive of a huge hole in his swing and seems like he's played long enough that they'd figure it out by now.
Joel Sherman@Joelsherman1 Outside execs say Brown's defense enough of a problem, hole in swing that might not get kind SP #Phillies want
this is one hell of a boring 1st day of winter meetings...
kershaw, greinke, ryu, beckett, haren...billingsley
yeah, okay.
i guess if they happen to shift beckett it could work...seems overkill as hell to add another lefty to the mix, even if it's a good one, though.
Bruce Levine@MLBBruceLevine Source :The Rays and Dodgers may be matching up on David Price.
Bruce & Ned are buds...
Biddle + Brown for Samardzija would be a helluva deal for Cubs imo, also probably a pipedream.
some folks seem to be freaking about Brown fading in the second half, but at age 25, no reason to freak out too much. #4 prospect in baseball heading into 2011, the path isn't always linear. BB rate over 10% in the minors, just under 9% in minors and with Bryant and Soler, he'd probably eventually move to left field.
Still a lot of potential in there, major league ready and 4 years of service time and Cubs could use some left-handed power.
d.brown hit 12 HR in may...and 12 HR in june/july/aug/sept.
his D is rather average.
if they give up even just ninja for brown it's a blown move, imo...i see it more of a brown + others for ninja before a ninja + others for brown.
Can the Phillies Match Up with the Cubs on Samardzija?http://www.mlbprospectwatch.com/mlb_prospect_watch...
Brown for Schierholtz/Samardzija would make some sense as a starting point, obviously Phillies would need to add some prospects of which they have few, not sure if they'd deal Jesse Biddle.
Brown's not due for free agency until after 2017 season.
torre/cox/larussa to HOF via veteran's/expansion committee.
btw, torre was a hell of a player before his managing career.

Hello! I am Stacie, and I am so excited to be posting for Colleen today. I am a new writer for Scarves.net and I have a few tips to share on how you can use scarves for home decor. :) And if you saw Colleen's post on how to make a burlap mantel scarf, you know she shares my love for using scarves as decorations.
When it comes to decorating, I've always been resourceful. I used a pair of deer antlers as a necklace rack. I stacked suitcases to hold all the things I don't use very often. But one of my favorite things to upcycle and reuse are scarves.
Scarves are so appealing to me mostly because of their prints—a lot of times they are little works of art. By thinking outside of that *ahem, scarf box, you can turn your unused accessories into an eye-popping piece of home décor.
5 Creative Ways to Use Your Scarves to Decorate Your Home
1. Make bunting banner from old scarves. Next time you have a party, make your home a bit more festive and hang the banner from two corners of a room.

2. Throw Pillows. Fold a scarf to a pillow-size and shape, and use color-coordinating needle and thread to hand-stitch a throw pillow cover. For those who are sewing-challenged, you can simply wrap the pillow for an equally chic effect.
3. Quilt. Sew old scarves together to create a useful and colorful blanket.
4. Wall Art. In an interesting frame, showcase a smaller scarf or a section of a larger scarf. I found this scarf at an antique fair and I just thought it was the cutest thing. I didn't want to hide it in a drawer only to be worn occasionally, so I framed it!
5. Drapery. Simply tack together some scarves to make a unique curtain between rooms. Thrift stores are a great place to find vintage scarves for really low prices.

Hopefully these tips will open your eyes to just a few possibilities that scarves have around the home. Thanks again to Colleen for letting me write a post, she has such a creative and crafty resource here! :)
Stacie Grissom is a writer for Scarves.net where she writes about everything from scarf crafts to 37 ways to tie a scarf. In her free time, she loves to work on her DIY blog, run, and take lots of photos with her collection of old cameras.
Thanks so much, Stacie! I can't wait to try some of these ideas!

Asthma: The Soap Opera: Mario - the star of a groovy 70s soap opera - storms off the set. The script says his baby has asthma, but Mario doesn't know what to do to help. The director soothes his ruffled feathers: "The story is not about asthma - it's a love story." Mario demands changes to the script so he can be the hero father he was meant to be. A campy comedic melodrama - on and off the set.
Stop Domestic Violence: Erica's husband is abusing her. She has no papers. Who can help her? Where can she go? A multi-ethnic theater group puts on a play about a difficult subject that affects people of every walk of life. Together, the actors discover surprising twists and turns to the story as they find the answers.
Welcome, Parents: "Why did we come to this country?" Carmen asks her husband as their daughter struggles with reading. "For her education." An inspiring story about Carmen, Fatima, and other parents who take charge and become leaders in their children's school.
Stay in School: High school in New York doesn't make any sense to Mexican newcomer Diego, who wants to get a job and send money home. When Uncle Juan learns Diego has dropped out, he gets busy helping the teenager figure things out. It is Diego's decision to make. What will he do?
New Life Café: Rosa is about to open a Dominican café. But when her lab tests come back and the doctor tells her the bad news, her dreams are over. Or are they? A heart-warming drama about family, friendship, and coming to terms with diabetes.
No Smoking: Sasha, the champion Winter Swimmer of Brighton Beach, has to make a choice - quit cigarettes or miss this year's big Winter Swim. With the help of his wife, his best friend, his doctor, and 311, the champion learns that quitting smoking may be the greatest, but hardest won, victory of them all.
The Hospital: Can art heal the sick? A nurse encourages a patient to start drawing again. The patient has a dramatic recovery and inspires the hospital workers to make their own art. It turns out, many of the workers are artists. Clayton in housekeeping is an abstract painter. Halima in food services is a photographer. But, an art gallery in a hospital?
The Wedding: The band is lost. The photographer is sick. The dress is too big. The wedding is tomorrow! A group of plucky New Yorkers each gets their big break to work at the wedding. Can they pull it off in time?

27 October, 5.55pm pst Be Changes Numbering Scheme
BE DOPE NEWS (BDN) In a press release issued today, Be, Inc. announced its plans to change the name of the upcoming release of the BeOS from BeOS R4 to BeOS R4i.
This announcement comes on the heels of annoucements by Microsoft and Sun Microsystems to change the names of their products.
"If they want a 'cooler' name for their operating systems, they should do it right," said Be Inc. CEO Jean-Louis Gassée.
The "i" in BeOS R4i is a so-called "imaginary number" - the mathematical representation of the square root of negative 1.
Actually, it is quite fitting that Be chose i to include in its product naming scheme," said Katia Consani, Instructor of Mathematics at MIT. "It is impossible to describe certain advanced mathematical theories without making use of i, just as it is impossible to get some types of advanced performance from a PC without using the BeOS."
Microsoft had no comment at press time.

On Your Cell Phone
Receive info, recipes,
tips and reminders from Care4life when you enroll in the Living With Type 2 Diabetes program for free.
Pessin, Jeffrey E., PhD
Insulin signaling and metabolic regulation
General Research Subject: Both Type 1 And Type 2 Diabetes
Focus: Adipocytes, Insulin Action\Insulin Resistance, Islet Biology\Hormone Secretion and Exocytosis
Type of Grant: Mentor Based Postdoctoral Fellowship
Project Start Date: July 1, 2009
Project End Date: June 30, 2013
Research Description
The inability of the body to respond to normal levels of insulin is known as insulin resistance. This physiologic state can both be a precursor and/or a consequence of diabetes resulting in reduced clearance of glucose from the blood due to an impairment in glucose transport in muscle and adipose tissues. Our laboratory is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms responsible for the normal insulin stimulation of glucose uptake and to identify the steps that are dysfunctional in states of insulin resistance and diabetes.
Our laboratory utilizes various experimental approaches ranging from protein chemistry and structural biology to cell and molecular biological in model cell lines and physiologically in transgenic and knockout mice. In addition, The Albert Einstein College of Medicine offers additional state-of-the-art facilities that include non-invasive imaging, fluorescent and electron microscopy, metabolomic and animal integrative physiology cores as integral parts of the Diabetes Center that provide an outstanding training environment for research fellows.
Thus, entering postdoctoral fellows will have the opportunity to investigate several fundamental problems associated with insulin action at the physiological, cell biological and molecular levels. This broad training environment couple with various journal clubs, workshops and individual interactions will provide sufficient flexibility for the fellow to develop into an independent research investigator. Based upon a mutually agreed upon project, the fellow will be provided with ample research space, equipment and supplies. Subsequently, the fellow will be exposed to personnel management through the direct supervision of a research technician and/or collaborative work with graduate students.
Reseacher Profile
Mentor: Jeffrey Pessin, PhD Postdoctoral Fellow: Daorong Feng
What area of diabetes research does your project cover? What role will this particular project play in preventing, treating and/or curing diabetes?
Our research project serves two primary goals. The first one is to train the next generation of creative scientists who can apply their knowledge and efforts to understanding the molecular defects and complications associated with diabetes. Ultimately, it will take a concerted effort from numerous investigators and others individuals to understand and eventually develop the best therapies and/or cure for diabetes. As such, it is critical that we continually train and bring to this field new outstanding individuals working in this field. Thus the first goal is use these Mentor-based fellowship funds to foster the training of the next generation of diabetes focused scientists.
In particular, the current Fellow (Dr. Daorong Feng) is examining the molecular basis of insulin resistance that occurs during high fat diet induced obesity. She is examining the adipocyte signals that activate macrophages resulting in the induction of the pro-inflammatory response and subsequent adipocyte hyperplasia (increased number of adipocytes). In this process, adipocytes undergo a specific type of adipocyte program of cell death (necrosis) that releases factors that activate the innate immune system partictular macrophages. She is working on establishing the mechanisms responsible for this negative signaling pathway and developing strategies to alter this to an anti-inflammation response that will result in a reduction in adipocyte number (decreased obesity) and increased insulin sensitivity.
If a person with diabetes were to ask you how your project will help them in the future, how would you respond?
Currently, we know that in type 2 diabetes peripheral tissue insulin resistance (sometimes referred to as pre-diabetes) is the initiating event that eventually leads to the development of diabetes. The large increase in individuals with insulin resistance and diabetes parallels the increase incidence of obesity. This is consistent with obesity inducing states of insulin resistance in both humans and animal models. Thus, if we can reduce obesity we will markedly reduce the number of type 2 diabetic patients. The goals of our project are to specifically address these two issues, that is, what is the mechanisms accounting for insulin resistance and its relationship to the increase in obesity. Recent studies have shown that obesity is associated with a pro-inflammatory state in which a particular pro-inflammatory cell type invades adipose tissue.
Blockade of this pro-inflammation process protects against the development of insulin resistance but does not prevent the adipocyte tissue expansion. Our data suggests that caloric excess actually results in adipocyte programmed cell s death that in turn releases pro-inflammatory and differentiation factors that first initiate the pro-inflammatory response and subsequently lead to adipose tissue expansion (hyperplasia) resulting in obesity. Thus, by understanding the mechanisms of how caloric excess actually kills adipocytes, we will be able to generate new therapies that will be effective both against weight gain and insulin resistance.
Why is it important for you, personally, to become involved in diabetes research? What role will this award play in your research efforts?
While I was pregnant I developed gestational diabetes and this made me concerned not only for my own health but that for my unborn child. I realized that despite being normal healthy, diabetes could take a toll on my child and myself, now and in the future. Working in a diabetes research oriented laboratory is providing me the opportunity to be part of an important effort to prevent and/or cure diabetes that reduces the quality and quantity of life of so many people.
In what direction do you see the future of diabetes research going?
Great strides have been made in the past several years and in our understanding of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In the area of type 2, we are now establishing a fundamental understanding of the process responsible for insulin resistance, the primary inducing for the subsequent development of type 2 diabetes. With more detailed understanding of this mechanism, targeted therapies should follow in reasonably short time frame. Although these approaches are very exciting, the more studies are also needed to understand those individuals that are genetically susceptible to this inflammatory process versus those individuals whom are not. Since these events are environmentally influenced, more effort needs to be placed on epigenetic analyses in both humans and animal models.

Guest Blog from - Nikki Gomez
www.boywondergifts.co.ukGifts, Partyware & Keepsakes, just for boys!Find us on Facebook:
The record for my youngest, now 12, beginning to plan a birthday party before the event was about 3 months! Her birthday is in June and we began discussing party ideas at Easter! I know, my fault!
Children's parties can be stressful to plan and the stress doesn't really begin to fade until your child begins to filter home feedback about your party! (Be honest!)
But planning your child's birthday can be fun too!
Firstly, find out what kind of party they would like and what their expectations are. Say you will have a think and get back to them. When you get back to them, be clear from the start about what you can/can't offer and afford.
Be prepared to negotiate if possible. Older children especially, will appreciate you meeting them half way.
If you are feeling pressured to match other friend's parties, have some ideas up your sleeve that will make their party 'special and unique'. A tried and tested technique by Moi! Hopefully, they will forget about comparing parties and be excited by new ideas. Some ideas to make your child's party special & unique could include…
Having a party at 'night time'. It doesn't need to be very late to be exciting for younger children.
A themed party is a great way to personalise a party. It can be as simple as age or colour themed for younger children and it's fun to plan. At 6, my daughter had a 'Pink Party'. It was so much fun shopping for everything pink! For an age themed party, let's say age 7, have 6 guests, making 7. (Keeping guest numbers down!) Create '7' themed games to play with your child. Continue the '7' theme by having 7 items in the party bags. Items can be inexpensive just as long as there are 7!
For older children, it depends on what they like and seeing if you can link this into their party, a favourite TV show/celebrity/ hobby… How about an 'X Factor' sleepover! You could borrow/hire a karoake machine or buy/rent a kaoraoke game for a console if you have one and set up your own auditions with judges. Then throw an 'After Party'!
Once party plans are agreed, it's helpful to have them written down so they are easy to stick to.
Hopefully, both of you can now have fun with the preparations!
