restaurant recommendation in Coronado area
Could you give some recommendation for some good medium scale restaurant in Coronado area? Seafood will be nice. =)
Though I've yet to try it, I hear Crown Bistro is pretty good. Peohe's or Il Fornaio are always decent choices. I hear 1500 Ocean at the Hotel Del is good, but pricey.
The Lowes has two resteraunts, the fine dining one is very good. On Thursday's they have wine tasting and snacks.
I would actually recommend against Peohes - I went there about a year ago with the parents, and the food was terrible. The Loewes hotel, which is down on the Silver Strand - used to have a good fine dining room called Azzura Point, but I haven't been in ages.
The new restaurant at the Hotel Del, 1500 Ocean, is excellent. It is pretty expensive, but worth it. The other restaurant at the hotel, Sheerwater - is not as good, but also not as expensive.
I have heard only bad things about Tent City, and Rhinoceros is mediocre. It's too bad, because it's a great location. The Brigantine and Miguels are ok in a pinch, but nothing special.
Went to Peohe's once several years ago and picked it so we could watch the 4th of July fireworks off their deck. Food was ok but thought it was a bit overpriced, like most places that are located on/near the water. Watching fireworks go off from different places made up for the food.
Not sure if you already know this - but downtown is also very close to Coronado, just about a 15 minute drive, so you have lots of options there.
Danny's Palm Bar serves a good burger, kind of the low end of medium scale as it's a bar, you could do much worse.
As unpopular as a corporate restaruant my be, I like il Fornaio. It never seems crowded, has a great view, and has consistently good food. I'll take it anyday over Pehoes.
I like 1500 Ocean. Some amazing specials. We stayed at the Hotel Del last summer and really enjoyed the food. The service is wonderful, and the drinks outside on the patio if the weather is nice is very romantic, they have and outside fireplace and you can watch the waves crash.
After working as an INTERN (think, student budget) on Coronado all summer - budget and food are my thing.
That said, most of the places I ate at were for lunch -
I recommend Tent City, Cafe 1154, Miguel's Cocina Mexican Food, and the Brigantine has pretty good Chowder (never had a full meal there) and Bistro D' Asia both have happy-hour specials.
I DO NOT recommend The Fish Co. (you said you were looking for seafood)
Peohe's, 1500 Ocean, Azzura Point ... I wouldn't describe these places as "mid-priced." One of my favorite places on Coronado is across from the ferry landing. It's called Tartine (www.tartinecoronado.com). We usually go for lunch, but we were originally referred to the place for dinner. Great bakery items for breakfast, too! The paninis run around $8, salads about the same, and dinner can be anywhere from $12-$20.
I also read a good review a couple weeks ago in the San Diego Reader (www.sdreader.com) for Chance Bistro, which is on Orange. Serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a wide price range.
Il Forniao has a good view (especially in the summer for the fireworks) and I think the food is great. The butternut squash raviolli is ... yummmmmm.
I'm in town frequently and visit Tartine EVERY time (although I've not had dinner there yet). It is small and casual. The food lives up to Chowhounder quality.
Another regular haunt for me, my friends, and family is Spiro's Giro's. Chow quality food. It is a very casual sandwich spot in the ferry landing shopping area. They recently did a little patio expansion (including heaters) resulting in a better "dine-in" experience.
Rhinocerous is fine and I'd revisit it before Peohe's (but it's been about a year since I went to Rhino-- and I won't order the mussels there again). The owner has displayed a generous amount of support for community groups. I agree that I'd go to Il Forniao (sp) before Peohe's. (In fairness, I haven't been to Peohe's in a long time and I know people who like Peohe's.) Maybe I'll try it again during the non-summer. Tent City is fine for lunch-- I've had good service there twice, and I like their iced tea.
I'd long cultivated an arrogant local attitude against visiting the Del, but I now grudgingly admit that the food there is usually good. Frankly, if I had the budget, that's the only place in town where I'd have a nice banquet-- that's how consistently good my friends' and my experiences have been there. Chowhounder quality. More expensive.
Miguel's and the Brig are fine; Miguel's atmosphere in the El Cordova is better. You could get seafood at either (obviously, Mig's will be Mexican).
re: iluvfoodtoomuch
There are many Olive Garden restaurants in SD but I don't think that is a sign that they are good.

According to Pike, "We agree with our retail partners like Cabela's, Sportsman's Warehouse and others that MDF is one of the top three big game membership groups of hunters and conservationists that companies like ours should be working with to help the cause, help our business and help the future of hunting and the shooting sports."

For as long as I can remember I've had the "bug". That bug that caused me to shoot out of bed at 4:00 a.m. opening morning of deer season, strap on my oversized camo, and run upstairs to get dad up and going. I remember driving around with Dad or Grandpa scouting the river bottoms and canyons during rifle season, eyes peeled, sitting on my knees to see out the pickup window, anticipating the infamous "There he is!" as the pickup jerked to a stop.
Luckily I am no longer hunting in oversized camo. My Prois gear is not only quiet during a stalk, but it is comfortable and fits in a way as to not be a hindrance. So many times when hunting gear doesn't fit you or your hunting situation, you become focused on how uncomfortable you feel or that the clothing is getting in the way, rather than your pursuit. Thankfully, Prois makes a line of women's hunting apparel that is tailored to fit a woman's body and her pursuit of various game.
I would like to say that I blame my hunting obsession on the boys in my life. Dad and I would always go out that second weekend of November when the bucks were chasing. And if he had his shot at a big one and I wasn't quite old enough to tag along, Grandpa would come and pick me up and we would watch from a distance.
I have hunted since I was old enough to buy a license. I've always chased whitetails because they were pretty much all I could come across on our land in Central Nebraska. I had seen a few mule deer here and there but they were usually smaller, younger bucks. Not until I began dating Sam was I exposed to the "Muley Magic".
Sam always talked about how big mule deer get and that they are "just different". Not until about a year into the relationship did I really comprehend or even grasp the concept of how big they actually do get and what kind of obsession it was that consumed him. The more mule deer filled magazines I was shown and the hours of Muley Crazy DVDs I sat through, the more I began to maybe form my own little "Muley Bug".
After passing and filming a few nice grower bucks in 2009 with Sam on his family's horse ranch, The Pitzer Ranch, we decided that we were going to hit the scouting hard in 2010. Since the ranch sits in the Sandhills of North Central Nebraska near the small town of Ericson, it has some great country for mule deer. Throughout the year we watched, filmed and collected pictures of a number of different deer. We had it out for a couple of nice bucks from the year before that didn't split on a fork or that were just a little young yet. But before Nebraska's seasoned opened we had to head out to Eastern Colorado for a week.
In October of 2010, I tagged along on Sam's eastern Colorado mule deer hunt with Wes Atkinson of Atkinson Expeditions. We saw a number of great shooter bucks while we were out there. Not to mention stalking a 187 inch typical to within three yards on day one! After a week solid with a couple of mule deer nuts, I had a new appreciation for the obsession that I had witnessed for months prior.
As opening weekend of rifle season approached in Nebraska, I mentioned to Sam that I thought I wanted to shoot a muley buck this year since I had never taken a one before. Now you have to understand that Sam is super protective of his mule deer. So I reminded him of a deal that we made while we were putting in fence around a food plot on a rather warm August day. He told me if I helped put in this fence that just maybe I would be able to take a buck that was drawn into the area with the plot. So on the second day of rifle season I reminded him of his deal as we glassed through a group of mule deer and I settled my glass on a dark, heavy rack across the river in the late afternoon hours.
We decided to get a closer look at the buck and stalked in to 240 yards along the river bank. After a few minutes I said to Sam "it's time". I had actually remained rather calm watching the buck graze for a few minutes, right up until this moment. As I flipped off the safety my heart started going. I settled my gun on the pack and squeezed off a shot. The buck spooked a few yards to the north and continued to graze. I had shot just under him! I kicked in another shell, settled in and squeezed the trigger again. This time the buck humped up, stumbled and went down. I couldn't see very well in my scope because of the glare of the setting sun, so when Sam told me he was down I was ecstatic! We high fived and re-hashed the stalk for a few minutes and started walking out to put our hands on the rack. As we approached I began to see that he was heavier than I expected, had great fronts, and overall was just an impressive Central Nebraska muley!
After taking this deer, I really appreciate what having some self control can do for your deer herd. We know that we passed this deer last year and it awesome to see what one can grow into if you give them the time to get older.
It is a sweet moment in any woman's life to prove to society that she can not only hang with the guys, but she can also excel. I take pride in being a woman in a largely male dominated sport, but I must give credit where credit is due. And that is to the boys in my life. They helped grow that little "bug" into my own obsession.

text: Home > Medical > HIV/AIDS > News 30 November 2012 Cancer drug may fight HIV infection Breakthrough drugs have made it possible for people to live with HIV longer than ever before, but more work must be done to actually cure the disease. 0 Through adherence, AllLife helps HIV+ people live longer Sponsored by Breakthrough drugs have made it possible for people to live with HIV longer than ever before, but more work must be done to actually cure the disease. One of the challenges researchers face involves fully eradicating the virus when it is latent in the body. A new report in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology suggests that a cancer drug, called JQ1, may be useful in purging latent HIV infection by activating the virus in the presence of potent therapy – essentially a dead end for the virus. "This drug may be useful as adjunctive therapy in efforts to purge latent HIV reservoirs to eradicate infection," said Monty A Montano, PhD, principal investigator from the Section of Infectious Diseases at Boston University Medical Campus, in Boston, Mass. "This drug functions synergistically with other HIV purging agents." How the study was done To make this discovery, scientists used cell lines that contained latent HIV, as well as cells from patients who were on potent antiretroviral therapy with no detectable virus in their blood. Researchers then added JQ1 to latently infected cells, at physiologic concentrations, and observed potent reactivation of latent HIV. The researchers also observed potent suppression of inflammatory genes in genome-wide expression studies using the same cells. JQ1 reactivation of latent HIV may make it vulnerable to current therapies. "One thing that's been made clear by the decades of HIV research is that there is no magic bullet for curing this disease," said John Wherry, PhD, Deputy Editor of the Journal of Leukocyte Biology. "Rather, the progress that's been made has been a series of incremental steps that often build on other previously developed therapies. The hope is that the ability of JQ1 to make latent HIV 'visible' to other HIV drugs described in this report will be another cog in the gearwheel of an HIV cure."

Young Money CEO Cortez Bryant has explained why he believes Drake's highly-anticipated Thank Me Later debut album was unable to sell over a million copies its first-week in stores last June.
From Bryant's perspective, Drizzy lacked a solid hit single to help push record-breaking sales.
"The first week was great but [Drake] still need that big smash pop hit like we had with [Lil] Wayne's 'Lollipop,'" Bryant said in an interview. "Wayne got his million because he had that urban side and he crossed over to that pop demographic. I believe Drake would've got those million sales if we would've had that pop record. I don't think 'Fancy' is that pop record either…It'll go so far, but when we drop 'Show Me A Good Time' in September — that has the potential to be that big record." (VIBE)
Earlier this year, Wayne predicted Thank Me Later would have the potential to push out over two million its first-week.
"A million in a week? I need him to do more than Tha Carter III," Weezy adds of his breakthrough album, which sold more than 1 million copies in its debut week. "Like 2 million in the first week. I need him to do 2 million the first week, straight up." (MTV)
Grammy-winning rapper T.I. believed Drake could have sold up to 500,000 copies in its opening-week.
"I'm confident in my man," T.I. said about Drake's first-week. "I think if 500 [thousand] was the over, under, I would take the over. Given his potential and his presence, I would. I think that's safe, that's a safe bet. He hasn't put out a dud yet. He hasn't put out a dud, not even as a feature, so I think that warrants about a half [a million]." (Hot 97)
Opening atop its competition with 447,000 sold records its first-week in stores last June, Drake's debut is now just a few thousand away from hitting the million mark.
Young Money rapper Drake's Thank Me Later slipped one notch to No. 12 with 23,400. Heading into his 11th week, the emcee's long-awaited debut should reach platinum status next week with 993,500 records already sold. (SOHH Sales Wrap)

Window to Inquiry: Teaching the Concepts and Tools of History

phonetics lab | my lancaster webpage
I'm a Lecturer at Lancaster University, based in the Department of Linguistics and English Language and Lancaster University Phonetics Lab. I'm also a member of Lancaster's Language Variation and Change Research Group and NCUB's 50 Under 30 Network.
My primary research interest is phonetic variation, including social, linguistic and physiological sources of variability. I'm particularly interested in studying the relationship between these types of variation in different accents of English. I take an interdisciplinary approach to the study of variability in speech, including acoustics and digital signal processing, articulatory measurement (ultrasound, EMA, EPG), variationist sociophonetics, and fieldwork. I work on data collected in laboratory and fieldwork settings.
An ultrasound study of liquid contrasts in Bradford Panjabi-English (with Jessica Wormald)
Acoustic-articulatory relationships in coronal stops (funded by Lancaster University FASS research fund, 2013-14)
Phonetics and phonology of intonational variation in North West England (with Claire Nance & Eve Groarke; funded by Lancaster University Summer Research Project Internship, 2014)

My teaching includes LING223 English Phonetics and LING327 Advanced English Phonetics, as well as co-teaching LING416 Sociophonetics. Basic scripts, experiment files and resources for various classes that I teach are available here.
I'm a musician (drums, guitar, keys). My most recent release is an album with folk-roots band Who Killed The Cranks? (November 2014), on which I played drums. I also play keys/organ in country-rock band The Hobo Conspiracy and drums in Lancaster-based The Fauxnemes. Additionally, I am involved in a studio-based progressive metal duo and am currently working on a doom metal solo project.
I also enjoy the wonderful countryside surrounding Lancaster, such as mountain biking down hills, exploring forests, and going to the beach.

Wigner's theorem
Wigner's theorem, proved by Eugene Wigner in 1931,[1] is a cornerstone of the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics. The theorem specifies how physical symmetries such as rotations, translations, and CPT act on the Hilbert space of states.
According to the theorem, any symmetry acts as a unitary or antiunitary transformation in the Hilbert space.
More precisely, it states that a surjective (not necessarily linear) map T: H → H on a complex Hilbert space H that satisfies
for all has the form for all , where has modulus one, and is either unitary or antiunitary, depending on the symmetry considered.
Symmetry in quantum mechanics[edit]
In quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, the quantum state that characterizes one or more particles or fields is a vector (ket) in a complex Hilbert space. Any symmetry operation, for example "translate all particles and fields forward in time by five seconds", or "Lorentz transform all particles and fields by a 5 m/s boost in the x direction", corresponds to an operator T on that Hilbert space. This operator, T, must be bijective because every quantum state must have a unique corresponding transformed state and vice-versa. Also, the probability of finding a system in state when it is initially in state is given by . Since T is a symmetry operation, the probability of finding the system in state Tx when it is initially in state Ty must be the same; therefore . It follows that T satisfies the hypotheses of Wigner's theorem.
Thus, according to Wigner's theorem, T is either unitary or antiunitary. In the two examples above (time translations and Lorentz boosts), T corresponds to a unitary symmetry operator. The time-reversal symmetry operator is the archetypal example of an antiunitary symmetry operator.

Smoked by Windows Phone challenge extended till April 12
Microsoft's controversial Smoked by Windows Phone challenge has now been extended till April 12. If you want to pit your smartphone against a Windows Phone, all you need to do is hop down to the nearest Microsoft store and if you win, you will get a $1,000 special edition Hunger Games laptop and a $1,000 gift card.
The Smoked by Windows Phone challenge recently came under fire after a Microsoft store denied a blogger his prize even after he won the competition fair and square. Eventually Microsoft stepped in and righted the wrong, giving the guy his laptop as well as a free Windows Phone, but the damage was done and a few things about the competition came to light, such as the way the Windows phones used in the test are already set to gain an advantage in that particular test and by profiling the competing handset and then avoiding tests in which the Windows Phone might end up on the losing side.

As you all know, highly hazardous and dangerous Lebanese flag shoes were confiscated two days ago for reasons that I still can't understand. On another note, here are few meaningless issues that were taking place the same week:
1- The Lebanese authorities were unable to bring prisoners from inside Roumieh prison to show in court. I don't know how that is even possible.
2- Fadel Shaker, who's a highly wanted terrorist accused of killing Lebanese Army Soldiers, stated that he's inside Ain el Hilweh.
3- Two innocent civilians were killed inside their home by known gunmen in the town of Btedi'i in the Bekaa, yet the Jaafar clan refuses to give away the murderers.
4- Half of Lebanon's roads got flooded due to the latest storm including the Rafic Hariri airport.
5- Lebanon is still without a president.
The storm Micha didn't stop Lebanese from having some fun in the flooded streets. Here's the full [video].

We entered today the Guinness book of records by creating the biggest human letter "U" which stands for unity, a unity that is unfortunately as superficial as this record as we can't seem to agree on anything lately.
Of course there's no harm in spreading a message of hope and peace but I believe other types of initiatives should be implemented to reconcile Lebanese among each other, specially the younger generations. Moreover, I don't know if there's any relation between 1860 and the Maronite-Druze conflict at the time, but the relationship between these two communities is still fragile for unresolved problems known to all.
SSCC Sioufi students also spread a message of hope on Lebanon's Independence day by making a huge "Live Love Lebanon" sign.
The news are saying the bat was hurt but I don't know if they took care of him or not.

Check out the first three comments. The woman said she doesn't read Arabic and asked if they could translate it, and whomever is managing that page answers in Arabic. Honest mistake but funny nevertheless!
Thanks Dory's Wife!
No comment.
That's the weirdest thing I've seen in a Lebanese hospital so far.
Isn't it weird that we don't have a national Dabke day? We should have one where everyone meets to dance Dabke. That's one thing we can't possibly argue about.
I had the honor to meet Mrs. Zeina Kassar Kassem, the president and founder of the Roads For Life – Talal Kassem Fund for Post-Accident care few weeks ago and I got to learn about the outstanding work this NGO has been doing for the past few years. Mrs. Kassem lost her 17-year old son Talal after he was run over by a raging driver on his way to school four years ago, yet despite her huge loss, she decided to make a difference and start the Talal Kassem foundation to "promote road safety and provide road victims the optimal support for post-trauma care".
Roads for life has been doing a tremendous job by giving trauma surgeons, emergency physicians, nurses and Red Cross volunteers world-class training to help improve the chance of survival for road victims in the first 60 minutes of the accident (also known as the golden hour). Surgeons and Physicians from all hospitals in Lebanon are being offered the Advanced Trauma Life Support course (ATLS) which is certified by the "American College of Surgeons" in Chicago, nurses get the ATCN training while Red Cross volunteers get the PreHospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) course.
Roads for life decided to tackle a cause that concerns us all, and worked hand in hand with professionals to enhance the quality of "Trauma Care" throughout the Lebanese territory. Getting the proper treatment at the right time and the right place can substantially help a patient and maybe save his life.
Here are the numbers of people Roads for Life has trained since 2011:
– 260 Red Cross volunteers and staff members.
– 216 trauma surgeons and physicians from over 65 hospitals all across Lebanon.
– 48 nurses.
It is worth noting that no more than four doctors are present in every ATLS session and that the mannequin they train on costs tens of thousands of dollars and is valid for one training only. Therefore, training over 200 physicians is a huge achievement and a great step forward for Lebanese hospitals.
Here's a small report on Roads for Life and how Zeina Kassem has overcome this tragic day and founded Roads for Life to help save more lives and making the Lebanese roads a safer place.
You can learn more about Roads for Life and how you can help them [here].
Roads For Life Values:
Enable world-class post-trauma capacity building to physicians, nurses and first aiders in Lebanon
Lobby for the development and enforcement of better legislations related to road safety, and ensure their sustainable implementation
Establish and maintain relationships with government entities as well as local and worldwide NGOs to mobilize road safety stakeholder and have a stronger impact
Increase awareness on best practices for driving and avoiding road accidents as well as the consequences of reckless behavior.

SHENANDOAH VALLEY, Va. - The Red Cross has helped many families in our area and now needs your help as it faces a $250,000 disaster relief deficit.
The Red Cross has helped almost 70 people in our area since October. People with the agency said an increase in fires this winter, along with the increase in the size of families being helped this year, has led to the deficit.
"Not only have we seen an increase in the number of incidents we're responding to, but just like last night, we've seen an increase in the size of the families that we're supporting, so therefore, the costs go up for doing that, " said Red Cross Executive Director Bill Brent.
However, Brent says the funding shortage will not affect its operations.

Space Monkey, the Google-backed P2P start-up that intends to compete against Box and Dropbox not to mention the likes of Google Drive and SkyDrive, seems to be slowly pumping up publicity for its widget so maybe it's getting close to its promised public beta if it can get the Kickstarter money to bring the thing to market.
Space Monkey aims to put a cloud in every house and says it's "building a storage network the likes of which have never been seen."
It involves a local storage device and a $10-a-month subscription for a terabyte of online storage, which is 10 times the storage you'd get from Dropbox for the same money.
It's looking to satisfy people with a lot of data as well as people who'd have a lot of data if they could afford it. (Think about those huge video files.)
It says anything stored on Space Money is immediately encrypted then broken into a thousand pieces and distributed in bits here and there around its user network and backed up on other devices. The start-up claims the data is "virtually indestructible."
The user gets the backup, sharing and anywhere accessibility of the cloud reportedly at 60 times faster speeds and a cheaper price for a lot more storage than the traditional cloud service - which is why its founders figure they're going to disrupt the cloud.
They also claim tight security and say unlike traditional cloud storage providers, their data protection is "verifiable and auditable by anyone with the inclination to do so, providing provable protection of your privacy and security."
Files are accessible from any device including iOS and Android mobile devices, Windows, Mac and Linux clients, as well as any other web browser-enabled technology. It also obviously offers offline access.
Since they've designed a network that will scale to millions of Space Monkey devices residing in millions of different locations, they also say that they've built a remote management platform as a core part of the foundation of the Space Monkey software stack.
"Remotely managing devices that are spread across the globe is a unique problem not solved by any existing software written by traditional cloud storage companies. So, we've spent an enormous amount of energy and resources to make sure we can effectively roll out updates to devices remotely and automatically, without you ever having to lift a finger."
SYS-CON Events announced today that Windstream, a leading provider of advanced network and cloud communications, has been named "Silver Sponsor" of SYS-CON's 16th International Cloud Expo®, which will take place on June 9–11, 2015, at the Javits Center in New York, NY.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Johnny Depp salutes horror icon Christopher Lee at London Film Festival
Johnny Depp has made a surprise appearance at the London Film Festival to give a career honor to horror icon Christopher Lee.
Associated Press
Johnny Depp has made a surprise appearance at the London Film Festival to give a career honor to horror icon Christopher Lee.
Depp called Lee "a national treasure" and "a genuine artist" as he presented the 91-year-old actor with a British Film Institute Fellowship on Saturday.
He said it had been "a childhood dream come true" to work with Lee. The two actors appeared together in Tim Burton's "Sleepy Hollow," ''Dark Shadows" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
Lee returned the compliment, calling Depp one of the few younger actors "who is truly a star."
Lee's 250 movie roles include Dracula in a series of Hammer Films thrillers, Bond villain Scaramanga in "The Man With The Golden Gun," the founder of Pakistan in "Jinnah" and Saruman in "The Lord of the Rings."
During a ceremony at London's Banqueting House, the festival gave its best-picture prize to Polish director Pawel Pawlikowski for "Ida," the story of a novice nun in 1960s' Poland.
Pawlikowski, best known for English-language films "Last Resort" and "My Summer of Love," said he had been warned that "making a film in Poland, in black and white," with a little-known actress would be a bad career move.
"But that doesn't seem to be the case."
The first-feature prize went to Anthony Chen's Singapore family drama "Ilo Ilo," and screenwriter Jonathan Asser was named best British newcomer for prison drama "Starred Up."
The documentary trophy went to Paul-Julien Robert's "My Fathers, My Mother and Me," a personal portrait of Europe's largest commune.
The 57th London Film Festival included 235 features, including Paul Greengrass' hijacking drama "Captain Phillips," Alfonso Cuaron's space odyssey "Gravity," Joel and Ethan Coen's folk saga "Inside Llewyn Davis" and Steve McQueen's hard-hitting "12 Years A Slave."
The 12-day festival ends Sunday with "Saving Mr. Banks," starring Tom Hanks as Walt Disney and Emma Thompson as "Mary Poppins" author P.L. Travers.

Draft Tracker: Pads take Johnny Manziel
Following the Padres' 2014 amateur draft
From MLB.com's scouting report:
"After helping North Carolina State reach the College World Series last year, Jernigan was expected to take a step forward this spring. But he struggled as the team's No. 2 starter, pitching behind Carlos Rodon in the weekend rotation. Jernigan's fastball sits around 90 mph and occasionally touches 93 mph. He throws it from a good downhill plane and can add cutting action at times. Jernigan's curveball shows promise, but it often gets slurvy and he rarely uses his changeup. His command suffers as a result of an inconsistent delivery, and he walked nearly six batters per nine innings this season. Scouts think Jernigan will likely move to the bullpen, where his competitive demeanor can play up and his below-average control would be less of an issue."
Round 10
The Padres closed Friday's portion of the draft with their fourth pitcher of the day in left-hander Thomas Dorminy, yet another college hurler.
The 5-foot-11 junior struck out 131 batters in 109 innings at the NAIA's Faulkner University. He walked 24, limited opposing hitters to a .222 average and went 11-3 with a 3.22 ERA.
Round 9
The Padres picked a potential power bat with their ninth-round selection: UC Riverside shortstop Nick Vilter.
The 6-foot-4 junior led the Highlanders with 10 homers despite a less-than-impressive .294 batting average. Yet what he lacked in that department he made up with a 39-30 strikeout-to-walk ratio that boosted his on-base percentage to .442.
Round 8
Make it two pitchers in a row and three overall – all of them college right-handers.
With their eighth-round pick – 237th overall – the Padres have selected Utah right-hander Mitch Watrous. The 21-year-old junior is 3-7 with a 3.91 ERA, 76 strikeouts and 26 walks over a team-high 96 2/3 innings. Opposing hitters managed a .250 average off the 6-foot Utah native who ranked second in the Pac-12 in looking strikeouts (36).
Round 7
Several hours into Day 2, the Padres have selected their second pitcher of the draft in UNC-Charlotte right-hander Ryan Butler.
The 22-year-old senior went 5-7 with a 3.47 ERA, 49 strikeouts and 27 walks over 83 innings in his final season. He was drafted last year in the 16th round by the Yankees – two years after sitting out 2013 with Tommy John surgery.
His fastball tops out at 99 mph, which he pairs with a fading change-up, his second-best pitch.
Round 6
The Padres believe they have a complete catching prospect in their sixth-round choice: Northwestern Regional (Conn.) High's Zach Risedorf.
A right-handed hitter with a quick bat, the 5-foot-11, 190-pound Risedorf has a plus arm to go with good hands. The 18-year-old catcher also considered an elite all-around athlete that the Padres did not want to pass up despite a college commitment to UConn.
Word is they feel good about their chances of signing Risedorf.
Round 5
The comparison to note on the Padres' fifth-round pick – Mississippi center fielder Auston Bousfield – is Chris Denorfia, according to word out of the team's draft room.

A team led by Cure Alzheimer's Fund Research Consortium Chair Rudy Tanzi, Ph.D., has, for the first time created 'Alzheimer's in a dish' – a combination of both amyloid and tau pathology in human nerve cells living inside a Petri dish.
In September the journal Nature published a study led by Dr. Tanzi that for the first time induced the creation of both key aspects of Alzheimer's pathologies – amyloid plaques and tau tangles – in human nerve cells with a known Alzheimer's gene mutation. These nerve cells had been developed first from human stem cells. "In summary, we have successfully recapitulated Abeta and tau pathology in a single 3-D human neural cell culture system for the first time," wrote Tanzi and fellow researchers in the magazine. Further, the group reported it was able to inhibit both Abeta and tau. "This is a big deal," Tanzi says. "It creates a near-ideal lab model of the disease that will help us dramatically accelerate the process of drug testing.
A promising first-in-class drug stimulates the creation of new nerve cells in the brains of Alzheimer's mice and will soon be tested in the brains of human patients, thanks to new research by Dr. Sam Gandy, member of Cure Alzheimer's Fund's Research Consortium, at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.
A new article by Gandy's team just published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry outlines the extraordinary promise of the drug, known as a "mGluR2/3 blocker". Created by the Japanese pharmaceutical firm Taisho and originally studied for depression, the drug acts by stimulating stem cells in the hippocampus to divide and form new nerve cells. What's more, the learning behavior of the Alzheimer's mice being treated with the mGluR2/3 blocker has been sustained at its normal level, in contrast to the steady decline of the mice not being treated.
mGluR2/3 originally caught the attention of Gandy and his team for its possible ability to inhibit production of the toxic protein Abeta42, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease. With funding from Cure Alzheimer's Fund, they conducted a pilot study of the drug's effects on a particular strain of mice. That study turned out such promising results that it has drawn $1 million in funding from the Veterans Administration "MERIT Review" program that supports Gandy's lab at the James J Peters VA Medical Center in the Bronx.
The mGluR2/3 blocker has also been administered to healthy young human subjects, and so far has been shown to be safe. The next step for Gandy's team will be to treat elderly human subjects with the drug to test safety in this population before gearing up to test the drug in Alzheimer's disease. With the focus of mainstream Alzheimer's research turning toward prevention, the mGluR2/3 blocker is one of the few drugs that holds promise for repairing brains already damaged by neurodegenerative disease.
All of these efforts proceed from the international Stem Cell Consortium formed by Gandy in 2012 and funded by Cure Alzheimer's Fund. "It's extraordinary that in such a short time, we have moved from ordinary skin cells to induced pluripotent stem cells in a petri dish, to lab-generated human nerve cells, and now to a drug that could potentially create those cells inside a human brain," said Gandy. "We realize that we are unlikely to have much impact in late-stage Alzheimer's, but we are cautiously hopeful that this drug might arrest Alzheimer's disease at an early stage so that patients can remain functional for more extended periods." Gandy's mGluR2/3 blocker is one of five brain cell regenerating agents currently undergoing testing in labs around the world.
"We are so proud of this development," said Cure Alzheimer's chairman Jeffrey Morby. "Helping incubate cutting edge science that can gain momentum with federal funding -- this is precisely why Cure Alzheimer's Fund exists."
The world already is very familiar with both Alzheimer's disease (AD), primarily a disease that occurs in the elderly, and Down syndrome (DS), a genetic condition present at birth. What many don't realize is that these two conditions also overlap. By age 40, nearly all people born with Down syndrome have begun accruing the plaque and tangle hallmarks of Alzheimer's. By age 60, most exhibit signs of dementia.
Why does this happen? The culprit is genetic. Humans have 23 chromosomes; Down syndrome, also known as "Trisomy 21," is caused by the overproduction of chromosome 21 during the development of the egg, sperm or embryo. Instead of the usual two copies (one from mom, the other from dad), children with Down syndrome are born with three copies of chromosome 21 in every cell. This additional chromosome is responsible for the overproduction of various proteins—including those that cause the plaques and tangles behind Alzheimer's.
The AD-DS connection
Focusing on this intriguing AD-DS connection, Cure Alzheimer's Fund's Rudy Tanzi, Ph.D., was one of three researchers in 1986 to discover the first-known Alzheimer's gene, known as Alzheimer's Precursor Protein (APP), located on chromosome 21. This discovery helped usher in a new era of Alzheimer's genetic research. Since then, researchers have continued studying the AD-DS connection for further clues about the precise mechanisms of both diseases.
Since 2013, Cure Alzheimer's Fund has been supporting research by the distinguished neuroscientist and Down syndrome expert William Mobley, M.D., Ph.D., whose lab is based at the University of California, San Diego. Mobley is part of a team working to exploit a hypothesis that inhibiting a protein called monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL)—which gets overproduced in people with Down syndrome—will, in turn, reduce the production of Abeta and, subsequently, Alzheimer's neuropathology.
Mobley, who recently joined the Scientific Advisory Board of Cure Alzheimer's Fund (CAF), is working with fellow researcher Alexander Kleschevnikov, Ph.D., to develop therapeutic techniques for inhibiting MAGL; this work is being done in collaboration with Abide Therapeutics. Based in San Diego, Abide specializes in developing drugs connected to a class of enzymes called serine hydrolases, which play an important role in regulating central nervous system signaling as well as digestion, metabolism, inflammation, blood clotting and the life cycle of pathogens.
"We are extremely grateful to the Cure Alzheimer's Fund for supporting this project," said Mobley after the CAF grant last year, "which has the potential to benefit persons with Down syndrome and, if successful, will have a direct application to patients with Alzheimer's disease."
One step closer
"This is a terrific example of a 'cross-platform' project that we're especially proud to support," said Tim Armour, president and CEO of Cure Alzheimer's Fund. "The results of Dr. Mobley's work will undoubtedly help improve our understanding of both Alzheimer's and Down syndrome."

At its core, Alzheimer's is a disease that disrupts communications between neurons (nerve cells) in the brain, and ultimately kills those neurons. Cure Alzheimer's Fund has committed to understanding this destructive process as a necessary component to stopping the disease. To that end, it has recruited four of the world's top experts in the field: University of California, San Diego's Roberto Malinow, Stanford's Robert Malenka and Thomas Südhof, and Rick Huganir at Johns Hopkins.
The human brain contains 100 billion neurons, exchanging electrochemical signals with one another via 100 trillion connections called "synapses." All human thought and action depends on the health of these synaptic connections. The destruction of synapses correlates very closely with the progressive symptoms of Alzheimer's.
Growing evidence suggests that Abeta, one of the known culprits of Alzheimer's, affects synapses early in the disease. At the University of California, San Diego, Roberto Malinow is exploring precisely how Abeta disrupts the mechanism of synapses, and whether preventing this disruption would save neurons. He also is investigating whether some particular feature of neuronal activity spurs the production of Abeta to begin with. Malinow holds the Shiley-Marcos Endowed Chair in Alzheimer's Disease Research at UCSD.
Overseeing this work from Cure Alzheimer's Scientific Advisory Board are Rob Malenka and Tom Südhof. Close collaborators at Stanford, Malenka and Südhof have elucidated the molecular mechanisms by which neural circuits are reorganized by experience. Together, they have laid the groundwork for a much more sophisticated understanding of the mechanisms by which neurons communicate and of the adaptations in synaptic communication, which underlie all forms of normal and pathological behavior. They currently are applying that breadth of expertise to the challenge of synaptic loss in Alzheimer's.
"The guiding philosophy of Cure Alzheimer's Fund is that we are unlikely to stop a disease that we don't first truly understand," said Chairman Jeff Morby. "This foundational work in understanding how synaptic signals affect—and are affected by—Abeta will no doubt bring us one step closer to our goal."
In view of an emerging consensus on how Alzheimer's disease develops and progresses, the Cure Alzheimer's Fund Research Consortium aggressively is focusing on three opportunities for possible intervention—at the early stage of the disease, the middle stage and the late stage. This comprehensive strategy addresses the whole picture of how Alzheimer's disease develops and progresses, and attacks all three points simultaneously.
What we know
For too long, Alzheimer's research has been distracted by arguments over "plaques" vs. "tangles." Some thought the key to treatment was clearing plaques, while others argued that eliminating tangles would cure the disease. Most researchers now agree it is necessary to attack both plaques and tangles, as well as other elements of the pathology, to stop the disease's progression.
The Research Consortium now shares the understanding that Alzheimer's is a vicious cycle of destruction that begins with the production of excessive beta-amyloid peptides (Abeta) that aggregate into clusters called "oligomers," then proceeds to the creation of tangles from the protein tau that originate inside cells but that recently have been shown to spread to other cells. Both of these create inflammation in the brain, which stimulates more creation of Abeta, thus continuing a cycle that is deadly for brain cells. This destructive cycle can be envisioned as follows:
Intervention point - A
Early stage
Ideally, this cycle would be stopped at what is thought to be its origin: the overproduction of the protein Abeta. This approach has been pursued broadly for a number of years, so far to little avail. Some drug candidates have proven too toxic; others were ineffective at safe doses. Recent research led by Robert Moir, Ph.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and funded by Cure Alzheimer's Fund has shown the Abeta protein is an important and integral part of the innate immune system, and therefore maintaining an appropriate balance of the protein rather than eliminating it may be the right therapeutic approach.
Consortium researchers are pursuing a number of ways to control Abeta production and clearance. Perhaps the most promising research is taking place in the University of California, San Diego lab of Steven Wagner, Ph.D., and the MGH lab of Rudy Tanzi, Ph.D. Their approach has been to develop drugs to modulate an enzyme called gamma secretase, which is a critical contributor to Abeta production. Their effort has been so successful that the compounds they have developed have been adopted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as part of its fast-track, high-priority "Blueprint" program.
"We're making excellent progress," reports Wagner. "We have developed a number of compounds and are currently testing them with the hopes of narrowing the list down to one or two clinical candidates." Tanzi echoes this optimism, saying, "We are hopeful that this project will lead to our gamma secretase modulators in clinical trials over the next year or so."
Intervention point - B
Middle stage
In concert with efforts to contain Abeta in the earliest possible stage, consortium members also are pursuing strategies that would zero in on the formation and spread of tau tangles. Foremost among these is the effort led by consortium member David Michael Holtzman, M.D., based at Washington University in St. Louis, who recently demonstrated breathtakingly positive results in a proof-of-concept study aimed at stopping the aggregation and spread of tau in the middle stages of the disease.
Holtzman's study, in collaboration with Washington University's Marc Diamond, M.D., assembled a variety of potential tau antibodies and introduced them into the brains of genetically engineered mice. Based on a hypothesis that the toxic form of tau gets "spit out" of nerve cells and subsequently "infects" other nearby healthy neurons, the study demonstrated that the antibodies were able to conclusively stop this spreading process; this subsequently led to cognitive improvements in the mice. Their study was published in the journal Neuron in September 2013. The results were "fantastic," commented the German Center on Degenerative Diseases' Eckhard Mandelkow, Ph.D., to the Alzheimer's Research Forum last September. "It explains why antibody therapy might work for tau pathology."
Intervention point - C
Late stage
Consortium members also are pursuing efforts to curtail Alzheimer's-related brain inflammation. One of the most promising efforts involves an attempt to inhibit the activity of a gene called CD33. In 2008, Tanzi's group first discovered this gene's relationship to late-onset Alzheimer's in a large family-based, genome-wide association study (GWAS). In 2013, the group described in the journal Neuron the gene's regulation of immune-response microglial (helper) cells in the aging brain. Microglia normally clear away damaged and unwanted cells in the brain; if they are not functioning properly, damaging inflammation can occur. When Tanzi's group deactivated CD33 in AD mouse models, more Abeta was cleared away by the microglial cells, leading to diminished amyloid plaque burden and less inflammation.
