Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)
We studied the in vivo gene transfection using gene gun, formerly called particle delivery system for congenially hepatic disorder disease. To develop this method, we tested 4 kinds of gene guns (Geneblaster 1221, Idera Gie-III,Hammer type, and Hand-held type) in culture cells and liver of living rats. Gold particles coated with CMV beta-galactosidase were bombarded into ex vivo and in vivo. The galactosidase activity was estimated in both systems. Au particles coated with CMV A-18 (UDP-glucuronosy transferase) were also done several times into the liver of Gunn rats which have a mutant lacking bilirubin UDP-glucuronosy transferase.The best result was obtained by using a newly developed hand-held gene delivery system. The beta-galactosidose gene introduced into the rat liver with the An particle by He gas pressure of 250 psi, was expressed (1.2 mu units/mu g protein) in a limited area of the liver surface (8*8mm, depth 2mm). However, the serum level of bilirubine was not returned to that of the normal rats. Ex vivo gene transfection to the stem cells has been considered to be satiable for systemic metabolic disorder, but the in situ intracellular delivery with gene gun was fast, simple and versatile. A new effective method might be developed for solid cancer by mixing several kinds of DNA.

If city workers and union officials think busting up a party in which municipal employees were drinking and gambling on the job is overzealous, then Baltimore could use a lot more zeal. The fact that the city inspector general's 2011 raid on a Department of Transportation facility has resulted in only one criminal conviction should not be taken as an indication that this was much ado about nothing or that the workers involved were somehow unfairly persecuted. City residents pay a lot of taxes to fund those workers' salaries, and they deserve to know that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated.
Here's what agents from Inspector General David McClintock's office found when, acting on a tip, they entered a maintenance shop on East Madison Street last March: A ring of workers was huddled over a pile of cash, watching while one of them appeared to be tossing dice. Cognac, fortified wine and beer were nearby. When they entered, the workers scooped up the cash and scrambled to get away. It was only then that police were called to the scene.
Thirteen people were taken to the Baltimore Central Booking and Intake Center, but only one of them — Michael Flowers, who shoved one of the agents during the raid — was convicted. That isn't the right way to measure the worth of the endeavor. Given the chaos of the scene, it's easy to imagine that prosecutors would have difficulty amassing sufficient evidence about who was doing what to sustain cases in court. And furthermore, given the city's other problems, a craps game is surely not the state's attorney's highest priority.

Age is a funny thing. When we are young we long to be older so we can do the things adults get to do. Then when we finally hit the age where we get to do all the things we always dreamt of and what do we do? We long for the days of our responsibility free lives as children. We humans are very hard to please. Age really is just a number. Why do we obssess over it? I know plenty of young people that act like old ladies and plenty of old ladies that have more energy then most youngins.
My friends and I always joke about how old we are getting..we know that we are still young but life has changed a lot for us over the past few years; graduating college and entering the 'real world.' We have had to adapt a little and I guess we are still a little insecure about it.
This past week I was in South Carolina with my family. I was on the beach minding my own business when a cute hawaiian lifeguard came up and started talking to me. I knew he was younger then me but not by more then 2-3 years. I was bored on the beach by myself and he was interesting so we chatted. About 20 minutes into the conversation he asks how old I am..I say 24 and he looked like he had seen a ghost..he stumbled over a few words and then said "Well, I should be getting back to work." Ouch! I was depressed and feeling like an old maid for about an hour.. then I realized I was being ridiculous. I am not an old maid and I vowed to myself then and there that I would never be one. So, poo on you cute, hawaiian lifeguard but thanks for helping me realize a valuable life lesson; age doesn't define us..we define the age.

Buccaneers CB Eric Wright was arrested Monday on suspicion of DUI this morning, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Wright reportedly refused to submit to a breathalyzer or field sobriety test and was subsequently arrested by police. Wright was involved in an "injury accident," but no one is believed to be seriously injured.
The Buc's made a serious investment in Wright during free agency, despite the fact that he was largely disappointing with the Lions last year. Tampa has been aggressive in upgrading their secondary, so I'm sure this news is somewhat disappointing from their end.

Yesterday evening, five minutes after arriving at the baseball game, my niece takes a tumble with her mouth hitting the metal bleachers . I'm looking at her as she is on the floor and all of a sudden I start to see lots of red coming out of her mouth. My sister grabs Madison and rushes off to the restroom, I follow with panic, not knowing the damage or harm to her mouth. All I want to do is take away the immediate pain she is feeling. Once the blood is cleaned off, we see this horrible cut on her outer bottom lip, and another inside the bottom lip. While we are in the restroom these two mothers share their own experiences with their own children cutting their lip. They were very humble and trying to down play our worries, a big thank you to the moms! I run to get ice, I return, my sister tries to apply the ice and Madison is having none of it, not even a popsicle, she tells us her booboo hurts. We are still close to the restroom and concession stand, her Momma is holding her and she starts to fall asleep…….
I missed a good chunk of my nephews game. He played catcher for two innings……..To Be Continued..

Serving Up Some Fun: Stand O Food
(Quality tested, 100% clean download, no viruses, no ads, no spyware)
Play On: Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7
There's a new kind of fast paced gaming action waiting for you at the Stand O Food game! This perky little game takes you behind the counters of one of the most peculiar food joints ever seen in a video game. As several conveyor belts spew out random bits of food, it is your job to pile them up nicely to serve to customers. Not quite your typical way to prepare food, but it certainly makes for one truly impressive gameplay system. The game takes players in with its unique visual style, entertaining music, easy to learn controls and engrossing gameplay; expect to spend plenty of hours on this surprisingly addictive burger game.
There is no shortage of enjoyment to be had with Stand O Food game, this interesting little fast food game takes you inside one of the many food joints to take care of legions of customers. The task is simple, grab food from the conveyor belts in the right order and instantly serve them to the customers. It is an easy enough task to accomplish, but the game keeps on the pressure by making you plan your moves ahead - you have to strategically select which bits of food will be used first in order to open up access to the other ingredients.
For the most part, there is no main plot to Stand O Food, players simply need to run the diner as efficiently as possible. As the player progresses through the game, more map areas are opened up and players get to serve new customers, but for those looking for an actual storyline, be prepared to be disappointed. That aside, nobody really picks up a game like this expecting to read a good back story. Stand O Food game is a great game for anyone looking for a fun casual title to spend time on - in that regard, this is one of our top recommendations.
At first glance, the cartoony graphics and simple style of Stand O Food may seem a little familiar for many casual gamers. After all, most of the color palette and screen layout takes its cue from the many other casual game titles already out on the market such as Burger Island and Burger Shop. The actual game design however, deserves a little more attention.
The character design for the lead character (which the player controls) and the customers in this fast food game are pretty unique. These box-like figures look a lot like toys than actual living beings, which we really do not mind. In fact, it can even be said that the design choice truly complements the style of the game on a whole new level. In terms of visual cohesiveness, this game gets perfect marks.
As for the interactive objects, each conveyor belt can be clicked easily, and moving the cursor around to click on the Jukebox and other interactive elements is an easy task to accomplish even when you find yourself in the heat of things. One thing players have to look out for is accidentally clicking on the wrong ingredient when the crane power-up is activated (more on that later). For being both visually pleasing and efficient, Stand o Food could teach other games a thing or two about graphic design.
For it's age Stand O Food is visually striking and refreshingly simple to play
The music for this game is slightly underrated - mostly because the main BGM itself is a little hard to hear. This technical issue is caused by the fact that the higher volume version only plays when the jukebox is activated. Having the audio change as a cue does sacrifice a little music pleasure, but since it keeps a strong in-game element in play it really is not something to complain about.
Aside from the Jukebox, the rest of the audio for the fast food game takes a back seat in terms of attention. The occasional beeps, clicks and whooshes from the conveyor belt, toaster, customers and other things that occur in game add nicely to the atmosphere but are really not that noticeable at all. Still we recommend grabbing some earphones when playing this game - unless you are discreetly playing at work.
Now this is where Stand O Food truly shines. This entertaining title takes most of its strength from the solid gameplay it provides. Players simply need to concentrate on a single area of the screen - no score points or stats to keep track of. All you need to do is keep track of the orders. The game's pace is simple. You start out with the very first burger joint, endure several waves of customers, accumulate money, upgrade and move to the next spot. As one would expect, the complicacy of the orders and the volume of the customers will increase with each stage.
There are plenty of new places in which to branch out to in the game.
Taking orders is easy: simply take a quick look at the item that pops out in the customers thought balloon. Once you have that information, simply click the corresponding conveyor belt to grab the various ingredients that would make the item. Just take care that the items you have the picked up are in the right order, from the bottom to the top. Serve it fast and accurately and the fast food game awards players with accuracy and speed bonuses that increase the amount that a player can earn.
Do note what other ingredients are going to follow after you pick one up - it is possible to lose several precious seconds or even minutes if you end up leaving the last available bottom bun two item spaces behind. While mistakes can be fixed easily, the above example can ruin a good score.
Our recommendation is to stick to the buff and passive upgrades, this means investing in the jukebox for at least two levels worth (as activating the jukebox will allow you to earn more money) and also, spend money on the coffee machine as it speeds up your character. The large fan will give a large boost to customer patience, so make sure you get it before progressing to the later part of the game. The toaster is a good investment for those who want to earn more (but remember that toasted items will take a little longer to prepare) but do not buy it until you can upgrade it to level two immediately. Lastly, invest in the extra ingredients such as condiments and the box packaging last. While these do help, the other upgrades should be considered as a priority.
Stand O Food cooking game does help you out with the occasional power up. One of our favorites is the crane: this allows you to pick up any visible item from all conveyor belts -even those not in front of the queue. It certainly makes preparing orders so much easier and players should take advantage of those orders that require plenty of ingredients (a good minimum would be four).
In some ways, the gameplay elements of Stand O Food game can be broken down into the things that truly make block-arranging puzzle games so successful. From being able to plan on the spot about upcoming items to making sure that the patterns are in the right order. That, by itself is actually a good point for the game. Add to that other great things and you have a game that you cannot afford to miss. Stand O Food's excellent delivery, great gameplay and impressive visual style gives it a life of its own that any player could truly enjoy. We give this game a coffee boosted chef's 86/100.
If your looking for more games to play like this online for free without the need for downloading games via Big Fish Games we would recommend sites such as Cook Games and Cooking Games. Both offer browser based games with no time limits and lot's of fast food fun!
Stand O Food Fast Food game can be downloaded for the PC on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 - Download Now.

Petty Wap initially denied he father reality star Masika Kalysha's baby when she was pregnant and demanded for a paternity which proved he was the dady. The estranged couple have grown close over time and it looks like the rapper is falling for Masika. See the message he sent to her which she shared on IG, below..
But why put the message out? Petty Wap has another chick, maybe Masika wanted her to see it?

FGE - Dead Space, a game full of blood, gore, and horror. What's not to love about it? You would be hardpressed to find any gamer who has negative things to say about the Dead Space franchise. Sure there is that old criticism about "Bro Space 3" and how the third installment was more of an action movie rather than a true survival horror game like the one's we were used to. But even still the worth of the game to it's fans is unparalleled and really quite deservingly so. They were just good games plain and simple. Every year when E3 rolls around, in the back of my mind sits Dead Space.
I'd love a new Dead Space if they go back to psychological horror like 1 and 2, 3 was just bad.
Yes they do need to return, its been too long. Please keep it like the first 2 games though. 3 wasn't bad, but there were way too many michael bay moments which was unnecessary.
Dead Space 1&2 are so so SO! good, 3 reeked of EA meddling >:(
If resident evil 7 is a massive hit I could see ea jumping back into the survival horror game. Just give everyone what they want though, a survival horror experience without the co op and micro transactions.

Getting Out the Youth Vote
"The Enemies Have Plotted Against Iran's Youth"
The "Supreme Leader" (No, not D. Ross) Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei addressed Iran's youth at a rally in Tehran this week stressing the importance of participating in the upcoming elections:
He went on to say that the Iranian nation would have advanced greatly on the path toward development and spirituality if the Constitutional Movement of 1905 had not failed.
"The enemies, led by Britain, destroyed the Constitutional Movement by taking advantage of the Iranian nation's inexperience and the clerics who led the movement. "They set Iran decades back by dominating the country, which was moving toward independence and freedom under Islam."
The Supreme Leader noted that the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979 was due to the nation's awareness and the presence of a powerful, firm, and influential leadership, adding that the nation and leadership have exercised vigilance since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in order to safeguard the country's achievements in light of the experience of the Constitutional Movement.
"The fact that the Iranian nation has still not forgotten the slogan 'Death to America' 26 years after the victory of the revolution shows that the people are still vigilant. "The United States has always stood in the way of the progress and development of the Iranian nation."
Do you suppose that they still chant, "Death to Jimmah!"? It's hard to take this "supreme being" talk seriously, expecially with his closing statements:
Referring to the country's progress in nuclear technology and the production of stem cells, Ayatollah Khamenei noted that despite this progress there is still a long way to go to build an ideal Islamic society based on social justice.
Wasn't that nuclear progress because of this non-Iranian?

Did It Come With A Manual???
So the other day, since Deb's laptop has been dying a slow death, we broke down & bought the latest & greatest supercomputer that money can buy. Well, latest & greatest that I could afford. Got this one at a special going out of business GE sale. Granted, it's not really portable & it is slower than some, & it does put out a tremendous amount of heat, & requires a special raised floor.... but the deal we got.... whoa baby! I negotiated my butt off & got an extra 5% off PLUS free delivery to my .... uh... driveway. I didn't even let that guy talk me into the extended warranty. (Guess he thought he had a 'live' one.) The contractors should be ready by Thursday for the moving company to shove it through that big hole in the back wall.
Okay - I realize it's not wireless...duh!!... but you can download pictures in under 10 minutes, maybe even faster if we add another 200 amp service. It also puts out (I'm told) a very soothing train-like sound. I'm not sure why they recommended adding the vibration pad or the steel attic beams, but, hey, I saved big on this sucka. Uh oh... I'd better end this post, Deb's callin' from the other room. She's been on hold with Comcast since Saturday & might need a glass of water ... or somethin.'
Anyway - Eechyer hearts out you blog following masses (both of you). Turn GREEN with envy. We are ready for real cyberstuff, or whatever you call it!
Nuts I forgot to get a printer....

Been buried all day - late reply:
Mark - I'm thinkin' it's time to move forward & get your design pro on board. Trying not to think too much about the stud reference.
Careann - Thanks for visiting. I bought the book Windows Vista for Dummies - They were, apparently, out of stock on the one for REAL Dummies.
Ronnie - Pop's got a pretty cool set up. I'll have to at least post a picture of the entry gates to the Rackham Estate (one of these days).
Sheila - If I keep screwin' up her picture files - I'll need the funeral home. I still think it would be cool to stay for the night in an abandoned funeral home. Somethin' with a PINK ROOM upstairs. I dunno about Deb's luck - I know I'm lucky to have her...

Is your new computer, by any chance, named HAL?
"She's been on hold with Comcast since Saturday & might need a glass of water ... or somethin.'"
Your call is very important to them. Please continue to hold and an operator will be with you shortly, certainly no later than the Ides of March.

Jenn - I loaded 1800 of Deb's pictures from her laptop (with at least that many left to go) - I must have done something way wrong - everything went in multiplied by 4 - Maybe they cloned themselves. What was the name of that sheep that they cloned????
By the way - I gotta mop the floors this weekend (our house is mostly tile). I'm gonna pay special attention to the sounds & try to give you a report.

I remember as a young child in grade school, swallowing the sugary oral polio vaccine. Since then, the only times I've thought about polio were in preparation for exams in medical school. As a doctor, I've never seen a case of it. Since I don't treat kids, I've never prescribed the polio vaccine. It's simply not part of my medical universe.
For many international travelers, however, polio may be in the center of their universe. Polio exists in many regions of the world. Travelers to these areas must discuss their polio vaccine history with their travel doctors before departure. Even those who were fully vaccinated as kids may need a booster injection, if they will be traveling to a high risk polio region. These adult travelers, who were vaccinated decades earlier, may not realize that they are at risk. The stakes are high. While most polio infections are mild, devastating paralysis is a rare complication.
Polio persists to this day in Afghanistan, India, Nigeria and Pakistan. Infected people in these countries have spread polio to several other countries in Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. For a complete list of countries where polio boosters may be necessary, consult the CDC polio information page.
Polio outbreaks are still occurring. Polio vaccination and disease prevention are essential since there is no treatment for the disease!
Traveling abroad soon? Here are 3 important stops on your pre-travel itinerary.
- Write down your vaccination history.
- See a qualified and up-to-date travel doctor.

It's not like they are looking for someone to replace Didier Deschamps, even if they were they wouldn't hope for Zinedine Zidane to be his successor, but judging by what the president of France's Football Federation said, they have the Real Madrid coach in the back of their mind as a future boss of the national team.
That is a logical continuation. It is likely that one day he will be interested
Noel Le Graet told RMC radio, when asked about how possible it is to see Zidane one day lead the national team of France from the bench.
Interestingly, even funnily, Le Graet admitted that last time he talked to Zidane he advised him against taking up the job at Real Madrid, thinking that he should start off his coaching career at a more 'modest' club, preferably Bordeaux.
I can't believe what he is doing. I spoke to him two or three years ago, and at the time I was strongly advising him to go to Bordeaux or somewhere else, to start his career at a Ligue 1 club or somewhere more modest
the FFF president said, surprised himself at how successful Zidane has been in his first two seasons as a Real Madrid coach.

Bradford Park Avenue manager Mark Bower says he is impressed with the confidence levels running through his side, after they picked up their eighth successive game unbeaten at Southport on Saturday.
Goals from Adam Boyes, Oli Johnson and Javan Vidal saw Avenue progress in the Emirates FA Cup, and the Bradford boss was impressed with what he saw.
"That's a really good win for us," Bower said.
"We took two good chances early on, I thought they were two really good goals, and then just controlled the game.
"To be honest, I went to watch them against Harrogate last week, and I came away from the ground thinking we should go there and win.
"I told the lads that, it was important we started well as their confidence is really fragile, and we were very efficient in what we did.
"We were very professional, we saw the game out really well and if we're being critical then we probably should have scored a couple more to make it a bit more comfortable.
"But, if you had offered us a 3-0 win when the draw came out we would have snapped your hands off.
"All that matters now is that we are in the next round and we have carried on our run."
Victory at Southport was the fifth win of the eight-game unbeaten streak, and Bower said the confidence running through the squad is playing a huge part in that.
"We've just got to try and keep it going as long as possible," he said.
"I know it's a boring old football cliche but we are just taking each game as it comes and trying to beat what's in front of us.
"We've finally got a week with no midweek game so we can work on a few of the lads coming back to fitness and then we look forward to next weekend away at Leamington.
"It's good when you can see out on the pitch that the lads are playing with confidence.
"We're moving the ball about well, the lads are backing themselves, taking people on and it's paying off, things are working for us, we're creating chances and looking really dangerous.
"We're scoring goals from all areas, people are starting to trust each other, the strikers trust the defenders to keep teams out and vice versa with the defenders knowing that if they keep a clean sheet, one of the strikers has it in them to pop up with the winning goal.
"Even with the defending though, the lads know that if it's a long clearance into a decent area, Adam Boyes is going to chase it and get on the end of things to get us up the pitch and relieve that pressure.
"We re-jigged it a bit at the weekend, bringing Adam Nowakowski in and it's good to see different players coming in and doing a good job for the team and long may that continue."
Goalkeeper Steven Drench and midfielder Danny Boshell returned from injury to take to the field at Southport, while Luca Havern was an unused substitute as Avenue's injury problems begin to ease.
"We've got a few coming back now which is good to see," the Bradford manager said.
"We had Drenchy and Danny Bosh back and then Luca on the bench, obviously Knowelsy and Rossy have been playing well at the back so there was no need for a change there.
"Nicky Clee was ill so didn't travel, but that highlights the quality in the squad when Adam Nowakowski comes in and does a good job for us.
"Jamie Spencer too came on and did well and then Bosh coming on to try and keep us in control of the game.
"It's working well at the minute but we will have our spells where things will go against us and that means it is important to pick up results now."
Following on from the great win at Southport, Avenue have been handed an even tougher tie in the third qualifying round of the FA Cup, with a trip to Harrogate Town on Saturday 30 September.
"It is what it is," Bower said.
"This was a great draw for us whoever we got, because we made it through, now we will go there prepared and try and get through again.
"That first round is the goal for every team at this level and now we are a step closer to it but obviously it's not going to be easy.
"We're doing alright away from home, maybe it suits us a little bit more with the players we have got in the squad.
"But having said that we're four unbeaten at home as well so it was never about being drawn home or away.
"Over the last few weeks we've shown the aspects to our game and the strengths that we've got to show that we can go and beat anyone, and we're not afraid of anyone."

What You Need to Know About Teaching Eating Disorders
Editor's note: Eating disorders are always a tricky subject. That's why Choices teacher-adviser Amy Lauren Smith--a sixth to eighth grade health teacher at the Shanghai American School in Shanghai, China, and the brilliant mind behind our Teacher's Guide each month--worked with a specialist to make sure she handled the topic appropriately in class. Follow these tips to ensure your lesson has the right impact.
Several years ago, there were a few cases of severe eating disorders that popped up in our school. Wanting to make sure we were supporting those students on their road to recovery, we brought in Dr. Lauren Muhlheim, an eating disorder specialist and clinical psychologist, to work with all members of the staff. Dr. Muhlheim's goal was to guide us to develop curriculum and school policies that could help all of our students maintain a healthy body image while we supported those who were already struggling.
It was an impactful week for me, as I had to take a critical look at the way I had been addressing nutrition and body image in my classroom. During Dr. Muhlheim's visit, I sat in on workshops she did with faculty, students, and parents. We were also fortunate enough to have her facilitate some departmental meetings with our Health and PE teachers, where we really had to reevaluate our curriculum and approach.
Nobody wants to find out that what they've been teaching is wrong, especially when it could potentially be harming their students. But health education is constantly changing, and at the time of Dr. Muhlheim's visit, the obesity epidemic was on the rise. Health and PE teachers everywhere were passionately trying to reverse the trend.
What I learned during her visit though is that the roots of eating disorders and obesity are the same. If we wanted all of our students to have a healthy relationship with their bodies and with food, there were some changes that we needed to make right away. These key takeaways still shape my teaching practice today.
1. DON'T explicitly teach kids about eating disorder behaviors. DO address them if they're brought up.
Teaching kids about the specifics of eating disorders might introduce them to behaviors that they weren't yet aware of. In fact, many teens develop disordered behaviors after watching a movie about them or, sadly enough, learning about them in health class.
Of course, this isn't a topic that should be ignored. By focusing on awareness and the influence of media, you can stir up a sense of cognitive dissonance in students that will prompt them to look out for themselves and their friends.
2. DON'T demonize obesity. DO teach kids to love and take care of the body they're in.
This is one I always thought I was getting right. As someone who struggled with obesity as a teenager, I wanted nothing more than to help kids from going down the same path that I did. Back then, we used to watch the Jamie Oliver TED talk on obesity and a DVD on soda called Obesity in a Bottle.
While all well intentioned, it hadn't occurred to me how such messaging could shame the students who might be worried about their weight, and frighten the ones who weren't. Dr. Muhlheim shared with us an excellent body image curriculum, Healthy Bodies by Kathy Kater. It teaches all kids to love and care for the body they're in.
3. DON'T focus on calories, numbers, and the fear of getting fat. DO focus on nutrients, cooking, and the love of real food.
When nutrition education focuses on calories, fat grams, and other numbers-based methodology, students can grasp onto unhealthy fixations about what they can and can't eat. It's better to teach students about all of the wonderful ways food can help us and how fun and tasty it can be to make good choices. After Dr. Muhlheim's visit, I scrapped the fast food project that had my students looking at the ingredients and nutritional information on fast food, and took them into the kitchen to make smoothies instead.
We all want what's best for our students, and sometimes that means changing things up--especially when the experts say that we should!

Take a look at this debate with your students. Do advertisements create unrealistic standards of beauty for teens?
Ninety percent of girls say they have been bullied based on the way they look. Teach teens about the risks of body-shaming language.
Binge-Eating Disorder is sometimes misdiagnosed simply as overeating, but it's a dangerous illness that requires professional help.

By Susan Hill Smith for The Island Eye News
Paint brush in hand, Bonnie Holden surveys the lifesized nativity figures in front of Isle of Palms First United Methodist Church and can't help but see needed touch-ups. After all, she designed the scene in the early 1970s, and every December since then has worked with her family to put it back on display, not only for fellow churchgoers but anyone who travels along Palm Boulevard toward the church during the Christmas season. Even at 84, she's driven by her art and a passion she shares with her husband, Harry, for enriching the lives of others. They purchased their Isle of Palms home with a handshake from J.C. Long in 1967 when Forest Trail was a new neighborhood and there were only 500 full time, island residents. A few years later when the spark for creating the crèche hit Bonnie, she couldn't ignore it. "It came to me that there was nothing here that meant the real Christmas, so I decided to do it." Holden had the talent, vision and spirit required to show the story of Jesus' birth in a way that would get attention. Before she met Harry, she had studied art in New York and started her career in the city as a fashion stylist and illustrator for William Becker Studios with her work appearing in magazines like Vogue, Harper's and Mademoiselle, as well as the Sears catalog, a cornerstone of American merchandising at the time. The couple would eventually run several Lowcountry galleries, including one that lasted for many years on King Street. They showcased Bonnie's Victorian-era watercolors of Charleston scenes and later, story-driven paintings around ideals like friendship, that they distributed nationally. Their corporate clients continue to include Disney and Avon. The nativity scene was always intended as a gift to the Isle of Palms community. At the outset, the Methodist church's mens club provided the wooden boards, and a neighbor who worked in construction helped cut the shapes with a jig saw. The initial effort lasted from May to December as Bonnie painted people and animals that filled the house where the couple was raising their fifth-grade son. In the early years after its debut, her depiction attracted local newspaper and TV news attention. Members of another church asked to replicate it in West Ashley, where that congregation still puts theirs on display. The figures in the Isle of Palms Methodist Church's collection include baby Jesus, of course, as well as two sets of Mary and Joseph to show them traveling and by the manger. There are only half a dozen sheep left due to opportunists who have occasionally made off with members of the flock. And the 8×12-foot camels are so big and difficult to fix – their legs need to be reattached – that they are not going to appear at all this year. But the wise men are back, including the one that Bonnie repainted because she thought he looked too much like actor Bob Denver from "Gilligan's Island." One of Bonnie's favorite figures was the elderly innkeeper who served as a focal point of the action but got thrown out after Hurricane Hugo washed through the church in 1989. She doubts she could do it over again as well as the first. The figures go up the first Sunday every December. Sometimes the Holdens have more help than others, and this year they got extra assistance from the church and its Boy Scout troop because Harry made a point to ask. Joan Colglazier has been pitching in with plaster fixes the past 10 years. She recalls walking her two children through the nativity when they were young in the 1980s, and her memories of her daughter's first visits are the most vivid. "She would walk around and learn about Jesus, and it was just wonderful." The Holdens have a long history of contributing to the community in a variety of other ways as well. That includes teaching CPR to countless people at a time when the island was more isolated from emergency help. As parents, they chaperoned teen dances, and as seniors, they have been a positive force in the Isle of Palms Recreation Department's Keenagers programs and exercise class for the older set. Their son, Barry, grew up to be an attorney and served on Isle of Palms City Council in the early 1990s. The family usually puts the scene out with little fanfare, though they know people look forward to it every year. "People will come to Bonnie and me and say, 'Christmas doesn't start on the island until that goes up,'" Harry says. But these days not as many folks seem to know Bonnie is the one who created it all. "The most important thing is that it's there for people to enjoy," her husband adds, "and that's all Bonnie wants."

Security researchers from FireEye's Mandiant investigative division have spotted a new form of malware that's capable of targeting industrial equipment.
FireEye named this malware TRITON and said they've spotted a threat actor deploying it in live attacks.
According to a report seen by Bleeping Computer before publication, the new TRITON malware was specifically built to interact with Triconex Safety Instrumented System (SIS) controllers.
SIS controllers are special equipment installed in production lines and other industrial setups. They work by reading data from industrial equipment, such as factory machinery, robots, valves, motors, and others. SIS controllers read data streams and make sure the industrial equipment works between certain parameters. If data deviates from a predetermined safety margin, the SIS controller takes a set of actions, which in extreme cases can shut down an entire factory or production line, but will protect human lives and equipment.
FireEye researchers say that a threat actor had targeted a company with TRITON malware that was disguised to look like legitimate Triconex SIS controller management software for Windows workstations.
The malware hidden inside this fake software would read the configuration files it found on the infected SIS engineering workstation, identify SIS controllers, and attempt to deploy certain payloads.
The payloads were configured to either shut down the production process or allow SIS-controlled machinery to work in an unsafe state, most likely to trigger physical damage.
"We assess with moderate confidence that the attacker was developing the capability to cause physical damage and inadvertently shutdown operations," the FireEye team says.
"FireEye has not connected this activity to any actor we currently track; however, we assess with moderate confidence that the actor is sponsored by a nation state," researchers say.
"The targeting of critical infrastructure as well as the attacker's persistence, lack of any clear monetary goal and the technical resources necessary to create the attack framework suggest a well-resourced nation state actor."
But researchers have not pointed any fingers at any specific country, nor did they reveal who was the victim of this attack, in what country or industry vertical the company operated.
Instead, FireEye repeatedly points out in its report that the attackers were highly skilled and came prepared to wreak havoc.
The first clue is that attackers deployed TRITON right away after gaining access to an SIS engineering workstation with access to SIS controllers. Experts say this means the group behind TRITON had pre-built and tested the malware beforehand and came prepared to inflict immediate damage.
Second, the malware included a mechanism to cover its tracks on SIS controllers and remove any clues the device was tampered with.
Third, the threat actor infected an SIS engineering workstation, a PC usually behind DMZ, on an isolated network.
These are the reasons why FireEye believes this is not the work of an accidental hack or rival saboteur, but of a nation-state actor.
"The targeting of critical infrastructure to disrupt, degrade, or destroy systems is consistent with numerous attack and reconnaissance activities carried out globally by Russian, Iranian, North Korean, U.S., and Israeli nation state actors," researchers said.
"Intrusions of this nature do not necessarily indicate an immediate intent to disrupt targeted systems, and may be preparation for a contingency," the FireEye team said, hinting that this could have also been a live field test for a more sinister attack.
Previous strains of ICS (Industrial Control Systems) malware used in live attacks include the likes of Industroyer and BlackEnergy (deployed in Ukraine), Sandworm (deployed in the US), and Stuxnet (deployed in Iran).
In September, Symantec warned that a nation-state group named Dragonfly had ramped up operations against US and European energy firms.
UPDATE: The FireEye report on the TRITON malware is now live, here.
UPDATE 2: Security firm Dragos also released a report on TRITON, which the company calls TRISIS. The report is available here, and according to Dragos, the malware was used against a company located in the Middle East.
UPDATE 3: Symantec has published its own analysis on TRITON, here.

A fledgling Washington state movement is trying to get the public to bring back parole in the state as a way to reduce the prison population, reports the Seattle Times. Activists, lawyers, judges and at least one prosecutor, King County's Dan Satterberg in Seattle, have been discussing the possibility of put some system in place to deal with what state legislator Roger Goodman calls "unbearably, incomprehensibly long prison sentences." The conversations have included proposals for the 2016 legislative session or the one after. The state Sentencing Guildelines Commission is to hear two proposals at a Nov. 20 meeting.
It's well understood as a tough sell, despite the likely need for a costly new prison if the number of incarcerated isn't reduced. "I just want to wake you up to the political reality," said Goodman, chairman of the state House Public Safety Committee, at a June kickoff by the Washington Coalition for Parole. Virginia's governor has announced a commission to study the possibility of reinstating parole. Washington, where the prison population stands at 18,400, is somewhat unusual. It's among the roughly one-third of states without parole, says Marc Mauer of the reform-oriented Sentencing Project. States that don't have parole usually got rid of it in the 1980s and '90s to conform with a growing call for "truth in sentencing." Life means life, the saying went, not 15 years before getting out on parole.

Union Aim to Split Season Series with Galaxy
- Posted by Kevin Kinkead
- On October 5, 2010

- Danny Mwanga, David Beckham, Edson Buddle, Kevin Kinkead, Landon Donovan, Peter Nowak, PPL Park, Sebastien Le Toux
By Kevin Kinkead
Los Angeles. New York. Columbus.
Three remaining games for the Philadelphia Union, against three of the top five squads in MLS. It's only fitting that the final test for this young expansion side, will come against the league's best teams.
Though the Union are eliminated from the playoffs, it's about ending the season on a positive note, and carrying the momentum into year number two.
Peter Nowak's squad will want to forget about the May 1st trip to Carson, California. The Union conceded just 56 seconds into the game, the Galaxy cruising to a 3-1 win. The lone Union bright spot was a late goal from Jack McInerney, his first as a pro.
Fast forward to October, and the Galaxy atop the standings on 53 points.
If this were week 16 of the NFL season, we might be talking about putting in the backups. But regular season supremacy is on the line. A win Thursday can move the Galaxy 5 points clear of Real Salt Lake at the top of the table, another step towards bringing the Supporter's Shield back to Los Angeles. RSL would then need to get a positive result against New York on Saturday, a Red Bulls side which will lose several players to international call-ups.
Three's Company
In Philadelphia meantime, a sellout crowd will witness three of the best players in MLS this Thursday . (ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes. (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT))
Have a look at these statlines-
Sebastien Le Toux- 13 goals, 10 assists , 3 game winning goals
Edson Buddle- 15 goals, 2 assists, 6 game winning goals
Landon Donovan- 7 goals, 14 assists, 2 game winning goals
Safe to say, the key to this game will be finding these players, or denying them the ball. Le Toux, Donovan, and Buddle are all MVP candidates, and they've combined for 35 goals and 26 assists this year.
In fact, Le Toux has been involved in 23 of the Union's 32 goals this season. He's played 25 games this year, only Jordan Harvey and Michael Orozco-Fiscal logging more minutes. It's easy to see why Le Toux's trap and finish against Houston on Saturday, received a nomination for goal of the week.
Inside the Statistics
-The Galaxy have the best road record in MLS, posting an 8-3-3 mark away from the Home Depot Center. But the Union have only lost twice at PPL Park this year. Only FC Dallas and Real Salt Lake have lost fewer games on their home field.
-While Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle lead Los Angeles in the scoring department, 14 different Galaxy players have tallied this year.
-And the Galaxy are 15-0-0 when scoring first. They are only MLS team not to drop a point when bagging the game opener. When conceding first, the Union are 2-11-3 on the season. That means the Union have salvaged 9 points this year, even when the other team strikes first. No other team in MLS has salvaged more points than the Union, when conceding the first goal.
-Both teams are undefeated when leading at the half. Philadelphia: 4-0-2, Los Angeles: 14-0-0.
-When trailing at the half, the Union have come back to win two games this year. L.A. has not won a game this year when surrendering the half time lead. (0-4-1)
What should we expect from Los Angeles?
Bruce Arena has used different formations and pairings throughout the year. Obviously, injuries, national team duties, and suspensions are reasons to change the starting XI. But Arena is also trying to work David Beckham back into the midfield. Beckham missed much of the Galaxy season with that Achilles injury, but figures to have a key role in the Los Angeles playoff push.
Against New York, Beckham was used on the outside right flank. But his lack of pace, and perceived inability to cover ground, stalled the Los Angeles offense. The midfield was unable to distribute and get much of anything going.
But Sunday against Chivas, Arena paired Beckham in the central midfield with Juninho, using the Brazilian in his typical holding role while Beckham was given room to maneuver in front of him. Chris Birchall and Michael Stephens played on the flanks, while Landon Donovan moved up top with Edson Buddle. The change in formation resulted in a 2 to 1 win, Beckham completing 77% of his passes and committing just one foul in the process.

In order to prepare for conferences our students create goals. While they do not attend the conference, we do like to share their goals with their families. Most of the time everyone agrees on what has to be worked on. I also like to sit and type up some strengths, concerns, and/or goals for the children based on our observations in the classroom. With 15 minutes to meet each parent it certainly goes fast. I'll keep you posted on how they go. If you have conferences coming up soon, either as the teacher or the parent, please be kind :)
My projects today, I think, are a distraction from the above. I am loving, and I mean LOVING doing the math journals and stations with my students. Being a type-A planner I have math journals and standards matched up until the end of October. Here are the next two that we are going to be working on (again, Runde's Room was my resource for all of these ideas).

Some Coping Mechanisms Discourage Healthy Change
Everybody has triggered behaviors which are unconscious reactions to stress. I used to smoke clove cigarettes, now I eat yummy food but both of these are coping responses. Other common responses include shouting, pacing, or leaving a tense situation. None of these automatic trigger behaviors aid in resolution, but many can help us calm down (shouting exaggerates our stress level). A great habit we can build is awareness of our stress.
Self Awareness
The key to changing our automatic response to stress is paying careful attention to our emotional or mental states. Buddhism is a philosophy that's heavily focused on developing self awareness. As we practice awareness we nourish a less biased observation of self. Decision making naturally becomes clearer and more rational. Confusion and frustration are replaced by understanding of not only our own emotional response, but the reactions of others.
A wonderful (although easy to practice) example of this in action has been my response to sarcasm or strong criticism to my writing. Just by asking a question of a commenter or explaining my reasoning I usually get such valuable and well posed responses. Powerful disagreement can yield to mutual understanding. In the worst case we can respect our different points of view.
Putting this awareness into practice in more tense situations has been an ongoing challenge of mine. One compulsion that I hope to maintain has been walking. It's a low key form of exercise that allows me to casually read, concentrate and communicate.

Hondo escapes overtime with victory
By Todd Fuqua
BERNALILLO – Like Mescalero's girls the day before, the Hondo girls' lack of free throw shooting came into play near the very end of their Class 1A State quarterfinal game against Animas on Wednesday.
Hondo couldn't make its free throws with less than a minute left, and the Lady Panthers were able to tie it at the end of regulation.
But the Lady Eagles were able to score all six points in overtime to take a 39-33 victory to move on.
"It's stuff we practiced and just being able to execute," said Hondo coach Alice Velasquez. "The girls played with an extreme amount of heart, they never got down on themselves. That shows how much our program has grown."
After going ahead by two points on a jump shot by Joyce Ann Cooper, the Lady Eagles worked to hold and pass the ball as much as possible in the final 2½ minutes and force Animas to foul.
Foul the Lady Panthers did, but Hondo missed the front end of a one-and-one, and Animas' Penne Duncan scored a jumper to tie it at 33-all with 1:02 left.
Animas (20-8) later turned the ball over with four seconds left, but the Lady Eagles couldn't get the ball down court fast enough, and the game went into the extra period.
The fact it was even close near the end, though, is kind of amazing. Throughout the game, Hondo (24-4) couldn't get rebounds. Of Animas' 39 boards, 21 of them were offensive.
"Yes, they were beating us on the boards, but they outsize us by a good three or four inches," Velasquez said. "They're athletic girls, so we forced them to shoot the outside shots and we capitalized on that in the third quarter."
The Lady Panthers relied heavily on Tierney Washburn, who scored all 14 of her team's points in the first half. At the break, the score was Washburn 14, Hondo 12.
"We knew bout her (Washburn)," Velasquez said. "She just kind of got lost in the shuffle. We were so intent on our offense and making sure we were scoring, that I had to tell them in the locker room that we couldn't let her beat us."
Hondo cracked down defensively on Washburn in the second half, and it paid off. She had just five more points the rest of the way and ended up leading the game with 19 before fouling out in overtime.
Jade Massey had 10 points as well, but Duncan was the only other Lady Panther with any points.
Still, Washburn came up with a big three-pointer at the end of the third quarter – from half court – to keep her team in it.
Fallon Velasquez came up with 18 points to lead Hondo, while Joyce Ann Cooper added 12. The two were the deciding factor in this game, combining for all six points in overtime.
In fact, everything the Lady Eagles couldn't do in regulation – offensive rebounds, free throws – they did right in the extra frame.
"We were thinking, it's now or never," said Fallon. "We had to leave it all out there and execute everything. This could have been our last game."
This was the most points Cooper had scored in a game in a long time. It's not like she hadn't contributed before with assists and rebounds, but getting 12 points made things a bit more fun for her.
Well, that and the fact her team won.
"We had to step up and take those big shots, or try to anyway," Cooper said. "That was really fun."
Hondo plays either No. 1 Elida or Grady in the State semifinals, March 9, at Bernalillo at 4:45 p.m.
Conventional wisdom says it will be the Lady Tigers facing up next against Hondo, but coach Velasquez said they've got to be ready, no matter who it is.
"We'll make mistakes, but they will too. That's a guarantee," Velasquez said. "They might be better at executing, but that has yet to be seen. If we can just stay in the game, that will be great."

The Ireland rugby team begin their Six Nations campaign against Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday afternoon and with competition for places fiercer than ever, rugby fans eagerly await the starting fifteen.
Jonathan Sexton's recuperation from injury means Paddy Jackson is likely to start at out-half with Murray partnering him at scrum-half.
The fiercest competition is in the back-row, where despite Peter O'Mahony's injury; CJ Stander, Josh Van der Flier, Jamie Heaslip, Sean O'Brien, Jack Conan and possibly Iain Henderson are all fighting it out for positions in the starting line-up.
Elsewhere, there is likely to be attention on who Joe Schmidt picks on the wings with doubts lingering over Andrew Trimble's fitness.
You can watch live as the starting XV is announced in the video above.

The British boss of a company selling the virtual currency Bitcoin is now wanted by Cyprus police for he has been accused of fraud. For the last couple of days, Neo & Bee has been under fire as allegations emerged that the CEO of the company Danny Brewster committed fraud against customers.
The situation deteriorated for Danny Brewster when Cyprus issued a warrant to the police for the arrest on Friday. According to Cyprus Mail Neo & Bee's CEO is a person of interest in an ongoing investigation involving the whole fraud-case. Mr. Brewster is accused of failing to deliver £70,000 worth of Bitcoins to their bonafide owners.
Not just he failed to pay up the money to investors, Danny Brewster also racked up debts of about a million Euros on the recession-hit Cyprus. He was quite sophisticated in his act as he used a major marketing campaign, employed nearly 20 staff and developers, rented office space and bought plush furniture.
Mr. Brewster thus, spent close to half-a-million Euros alone on a huge advertising blitz for the recent launch of his company, Neo & Bee and other lavish things. However, his entire extravaganza has cost him huge debt and left his employees baffled and angry. According to reports most if not all of those now out of work were not paid in March.
His case reminds the people about Mark Karpeles of Mt. Gox wherein he invested in paraphernalia not from the funds from the company but from the investors' money. Later on his company collapsed and a lot of investors lost their investment. Mr. Karpeles is now facing several legal cases in Japanese and US courts.
Danny Brewster Spent Money Like Crazy, Say Creditors
Similar to Mark Karpeles, Danny Brewster is going to face several litigations as his case not just involves cheating the investors but also the employees and others in Cyprus. According to a local police official in Cyprus investigations are on-going and did not rule out issuing a European arrest warrant.
Creditors are worried whether Mr. Brewster will be able to pay back the money as they say that he spent like crazy without giving a damn to the fact that he was not earning much. Despite the grand opening of his Bitcoin store in a swanky Nicosia office block on February 24, Brewster's store disappeared and his whereabouts remains a mystery now.

If you've never been to Old World in Huntington Beach for the dachshund races, you should put it on your bucket list.
Yes, it's a little weird, and yes, it's really fun. There's a lot of yapping and a freaky kind of enthusiasm, but it's hard not to like.
Add to it the beer tasting, brats, authentic outfits and a senior citizen contortionist, and it's the closest thing we have in Orange County to a year-round circus.
Inga McKellop thought up the dog races 20 years ago, and she still serves as the master of ceremonies. Beginning Sept. 11, with the start of Oktoberfest, wiener dogs will race every Sunday until Oct. 30. For details visit oldworld.ws. Proceeds benefit the Kiwanis Club of Huntington Beach.
"When I started, it was just fun for me. I didn't even have a dog in the beginning," she said, laughing. "Now there are more than 1,000 dogs involved throughout the year."
And boy can those dogs run.
The writer H. L. Mencken once said the dachshund was "a half-dog high and a dog-and-a-half long." But for some reason that doesn't seem to slow them down.
Owners don't take the races too seriously — although some drive every week from as far as Castaic and San Diego — but they do claim bragging rights. And by the end of the racing year, some can even walk away with trophies.
The dogs can get a little cranky if they lose. Some are not above inviting their competitors to the parking lot to settle the score.
"They're a very protective breed," McKellop said, diplomatically. "They're a very opinionated dog, just like Germans. I'm German so I can say that."
McKellop takes pride in keeping up traditions. As the world changes and loses its memory, it's good to maintain historical roots, she said.
The stores in Old World, for example, have sometimes struggled to stay open, especially as older owners retire.
"Originally, they were all German or mostly European stores," she said. "Everything was European. But over the years, very few of the younger generations took over the stores. There are some of the original owners from over 40 years ago. But that generation is retiring or gone."
She said the Old World model should serve as an example for younger shopkeepers who want be more involved in their local community and heritage, whether it's German or Vietnamese or Cuban. Her parents opened a coffee store in Old World 38 years ago, then later retired and passed it on to her.
"I love Old World," McKellop said. "My mom just passed a week ago. German people came on a boat here and had a hard life, and then when they saw this interesting area of Old World was built 40 years ago, they went to it and lived upstairs and had their stores downstairs, just like it is in old Europe. And it became a home away from home for them."
There is a familiarity among the visitors to Old World. They know the festivities are created just for them. Unlike a mall, which tends to be distant, Old World feels like family.
In the beer tent, you can sit at long tables and join strangers. It's a welcome departure from the isolated booths at chain restaurants.
Here, you might be asked to raise the starting gate for the dog races.
You might also be asked to assist the famous contortionist and gymnast Heidi, who likes to be called just Heidi. She also doesn't like to divulge her age. Reportedly, it varies from 53 to 93.
If you were to ask her, she would probably say, "Can a 93-year-old do this?"
And then she would perform an acrobatic maneuver that would put modern yoga enthusiasts to shame.
It's all these things and more that make a trip to Old World worth the small admission.
It's quirky and campy but full of life.
"We're trying to keep our background and our history a little bit alive for family, for friends and for the culture," McKellop said.
Prost to that and pass the pretzels.

Maryland Adds Environmental Literacy in High Schools• FOX News
Maryland is the first state in the country to impose a new requirement to graduate from high school -- something called environmental literacy.
But what is that? That is the question State Senator J. B. Jennings is asking.
"What kind of education is it going to be?" he asks. "Is it going to be fact-based? Or is it going to be theory-based, which is usually politically, theory driven. And you can think, it's going to be about global warming or climate change."

Today we've been filming with Oak Tree Mobility.
This dynamic company sells mobility products from chairs to beds to scooters. They are currently setting up their sales reps with tablets so that when they visit customers in their homes they can show them the range of products available.
The videos we filmed today were demonstrations of the many motorised functions of the beds and chairs – from the 'Single motor tilt in space' to the 'wall hugger'. Next week we're off to the factory in Wales to film the craftsman who select the fabrics, plane the wood and hand-build each chair to fit the customer.
The director today was James Sampson, with Luke Fleming on camera. Jo Haywood took taxing role of operating the chairs.
So, if you're considering using video to help your business thrive, get in touch and see what we can do for you.
