NHGRI Researchers Achieve Successful Gene Therapy in Mice
NHGRI Researchers Achieve Successful Gene Therapy in Mice
Newborns with propionic acidemia can die if not immediately diagnosed and treated with a special low protein diet and metabolic supplements. Patients sometimes receive liver transplantation to improve the symptoms of this disease. However, they still experience numerous effects from the disorder.
The disease is related to another condition called methylmalonic acidemia (MMA); the enzymes that malfunction in both disorders are located in the same metabolic pathway. Using the same methods previously employed to successfully treat mice with MMA, the researchers used a recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) — a gene delivery agent that is not a human pathogen — to deliver the human gene to mice with propionic acidemia. All affected mice that did not receive AAV gene therapy died immediately after birth. However, most of the mice with propionic acidemia that received gene therapy survived, some for as long as seven months after a single injection of virus.
"We are the first to rescue mice with this lethal organic acidemia using gene therapy and believe these studies will give the patients and families hope that modern treatments will someday be available for propionic acidemia," Dr. Venditti said.

Can Sean Spence make it back from the catastrophic knee injury he suffered last preseason?
Opinions vary, even in his own building. Spence's position coach, Keith Butler, has said it would be "miraculous" if the linebacker played a down in 2013. Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin didn't agree with that assessment, and neither does Spence.
"I know a lot of people have not been able to come back after damage like that, but I'm going to see if I can be one of the only ones," Spence said, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "Actually, I know that I'm going to beat the odds. I'm not really worried about that."
Spence is in attendance at Steelers organized team activities, but only as a spectator. He's doing his best to soak in the defensive schemes of coordinator Dick LeBeau, even if he's forced to do it from a distance. Spence said the nerve damage in his knee is healing slowly.
"I'm going to continue to attack this like I'm going to play this year," Spence said. "I'm in meetings and preparing as if I'm practicing. I'm just going to continue to get better and I'm looking forward to the season."
Spence once was viewed as the Steelers' successor to James Farrior at inside linebacker. Now Spence is one of the biggest underdogs in the game. Things can change in an instant in the NFL.

Texas Sen. John Cornyn berated Attorney General Eric Holder and aligned himself with those calling for Holder's resignation at an explosive Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday morning.
In a tense exchange during a hearing on the botched gunwalking Operation Fast and Furious, the San Antonio Republican told Holder he questioned the attorney general's ability to conduct the investigation of alleged intelligence leaks at the Justice Department in a nonpartisan way, "given your track record."
Several Republican senators at the hearing demanded that Holder appoint an independent special counsel to investigate the leaks instead of the two attorneys Holder has asked to lead the investigation.
When Holder interrupted Cornyn's denunciations, saying he would stand by his record, Cornyn accused him of "filibustering" his time. But a perturbed Holder insisted that it was Cornyn — and not himself — who was spreading falsehoods.
"With all due respect, senator, there is so much that is factually wrong with the premises that you started your statement with… it's almost breathtaking in its inaccuracy," he told the former Texas Supreme Court jurist.
Holder appeared before the committee to address questions about Fast and Furious and alleged intelligence leaks that critics say may pose threats to national security.
Cornyn was among many at the hearing who criticized Holder's handling of Fast and Furious, an operation in which Phoenix-based ATF agents used watch-and-wait tactics on cartel-linked gunrunners but then lost track of over 2,000 weapons that slipped into Mexico. Two of those weapons were recovered in December 2010 in Southern Arizona at the murder site of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.
Cornyn accused Holder of lying to Congress, saying, "You claimed there had never been a gunwalking program and had to retract that in November 2011. You misled Representative Issa and then you had to admit to Senator Grassley that you learned about those tactics in January of 2011. You claimed at a press conference you had no knowledge of Fast and Furious when it's clear your inner circle received memos on gunwalking in early 2010. You claimed that the Fast and Furious wiretap applications did not detail gunwalking tactics. I've read them, and they do raise plenty of details…about this tactic. You have defied the lawful and legitimate oversight responsibilities of the House of Representatives and Senate."
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, led by Rep. Darrell Issa R-Ca., will convene to consider a report holding Holder in contempt of Congress for his failure to produce documents specified in the Committee's October 12, 2011, subpoena. Of the documents, Cornyn said, "You have resisted producing documents, you've produced about 7,600 documents out of a pool of at least 80,000 documents and you've failed to respond to my letter of August 2011 where I've asked you about gunwalking tactics that occurred in my state."
"So sixteen months after Fast and Furious has been uncovered when Brian Terry lost his life at the hands of a drug cartel member who shot him using a weapon that was allowed to walk, there's been zero accountability at the Department of Justice. You won't appoint a special prosecutor in the case of a potential conflict of interest. You won't tell the truth about what you knew and when you knew it about Fast and Furious. You won't cooperate with a federal investigation. You won't answer my questions about gunwalking in Texas. You won't take any responsibility for the failures of your inner circle. You won't acknowledge what your top aides knowingly misled Congress about. You won't hold anyone accountable. Your office has a conflict of interest yet you won't appoint special counsel. You won't cooperate with a legitimate congressional investigation. You won't support a truly independent investigation. You won't hold anyone, including yourself, accountable."
Cornyn added "You've violated the public trust in my view, by failing and refusing to perform the duties of your office." He then called for Holder's resignation.
"It's more with sorrow that I would say that you leave me no alternative but to join those that call upon you to resign your office. Americans deserve an Attorney General who will be honest with them uphold the basic standards of independence and accountability. You've proven time and again sadly that you are unwilling to do so. … The American people deserve an Attorney General who will put justice before politics. It is my sincere hope that President Obama will replace you with someone who is up to that challenge."
Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., intervened to give Holder an opportunity to answer the accusation. "The senator from Texas has accused you of perjury, which is a criminal offense," Leahy told Holder. "Feel free to respond."
Holder responded to Cornyn, saying with exasperation that "This is the ninth time I have answered questions before a congressional committee about Fast and Furious."
Holder continued, "I'm the Attorney General that put an end to the misguided tactics used in that operation. An Attorney General that you would perhaps hold in a higher regard was briefed on a very similar operation called Wide Receiver and did nothing to stop it," Holder fired back, referring to a gunwalking operation that used similar tactics during the Bush administration. "I'm also the one who investigated this matter and made personnel changes at ATF and oversaw changes of processes to make sure this never happens again. So I don't have any intention of resigning."
"In terms of what it is we have turned over, let's put something on the record here. We have collected data from 240 custodians; we have processed millions of electronic documents, turned over 7,600 pages… We have made available people from the department at the highest levels to be interviewed. All of that is not enough to satisfy the concerns that have been raised in the House committee."
Holder repeatedly stated his willingness to speak privately with members of Congress about the documents, which he could not release because they would compromise the integrity of ongoing prosecutions and put witnesses at risk, in order to avoid what he called "a constitutional crisis."
Said Holder, "I am willing to sit down and talk about these materials. I have sent letters in that regard and I have not had responses. The desire here is not for an accommodation but for a political point-making. It is the thing that I think turns people off about Washington. We have very serious problems and we're still involved in this political game."
Asked earlier in the hearing about his record as Attorney General, Holder said, "I stuck by my guns," perhaps an unfortunate choice of words given the circumstances.

What does it mean to raise a number to a complex exponent, and why? A lot of the explanations that I've seen involve e, why is this?
I'm looking for an intuitive answer describing to how exponentiation works on a number plane (i.e. the complex number plane) rather than just a number line (the real numbers), where I understand exponentiation quite well. I'm not looking for a breakdown of Taylor series - I believe the proofs, I just don't grok them.
For example, if I was asking how sine worked, I'd want this, not this.

Not so fast, Kanye–you've still got one very important member of the Kardashian crew to win over.
During a speaking engagement in Boston Wednesday, Kim Kardashian's stepdad Bruce Jenner told the audience he's "not that excited" about Kardashian's latest fling with Kanye West.
"I'm not that excited, but we'll see," Jenner, 62, told the crowd. "Kimberly and I have had a conversation about them and their potential relationship."
Jenner's chief concerns don't seem to be West–but instead, his stepdaughter's penchant for jumping quickly into serious relationships. (Kardashian is still locked in a bitter divorce battle with her soon-to-be ex-husband, Kris Humphries.)
Kim's sister Khloe Kardashian told Ellen DeGeneres earlier this week that her big sister and the rapper are "cute together."
Kim has talked before about her tendency to get too invested in flings too quickly–she told Glamour magazine earlier this year that she's a "hopeless romantic" and believes "in love and the dream of having a perfect relationship."
Sources tell Us Weekly that West has pursued Kardashian "for a long time"– and now that Kardashian is single again, the timing finally seemed right for the Grammy winner to step in.
West, 34, and the E! star enjoyed a marathon, 48-hour date in NYC April 4 and 5; the duo dined together at NYC hotspots Serafina and Cafeteria, caught a screening of The Hunger Games, hit FAO Schwarz, and managed to squeeze in a couple of sleepovers.
Still, it took some time for Kardashian–who initially saw West as just a friend–to come around. "Now that Kim has gotten over the Kris drama…she sees how much Kanye loves her," a source close to the star tells Us.
As for West? "[He's fallen] genuinely head over heels," an insider close to the rapper reveals. "They're perfect for each other. He thinks she's his Beyonce!"

HANCOCK/GRANVILLE — After casting votes on Town Meeting Day that appeared to doom the Granville-Hancock Village School, residents in the two Addison County towns at separate meetings on Wednesday night reconsidered their March 6 decisions and voted instead to fund the school for another year.
"I'm very pleased," said Granville school board member Kristi Fuller. "If I learned any lessons it's that you need to hang on to your school as tight as you can and you need to get the people in Montpelier to understand that Vermont is a rural community and we're not going to consolidate all the schools in the state."
Granville and Hancock merged their separate village schools three years ago and teach about 36 children in kindergarten through sixth-grade at two buildings, one in each town. Many in both towns have defended the unique education that their children get in this setting.

VERGENNES — About three years after it closed, the Briarwood Nursing Home will be returned to its former mission in Vergennes under new management and with a new name: Spruce Gardens Residential Care Home.
Building contractor Alan Giguere has a contract to purchase Briarwood from owner John LaBerge, who has been marketing the 10,000-square-foot building on a 4-acre lot at 1 Alder Place for $1.2 million.
Ferrisburgh native and 1986 Vergennes Union High School graduate Earl Dionne, who will manage Spruce Gardens for Giguere, said Giguere now has a lease on the property, but that a sale is planned for mid-June.
Not too long after that Dionne and Giguere hope to start filling the 19-bed facility, which is about three blocks north of Main Street, with its target population: seniors who need some help but still have most skills intact.

Los Angeles — "In the late 1980s, as emerging globalization was dramatically and irreversibly expanding the context of American business, UCLA Anderson's leadership recognized the need for our students to have a concrete experience abroad," remembers William Broesamle, senior associate dean of MBA programs at the time. "The international field study for the newly created Fully-Employed MBA (FEMBA) program was part of the effort to address that need." In a world growing ever smaller and more intricately connected economically, the ability to effectively function across national borders has become less of a luxury and more of a necessity. Today, the Global Access Program (GAP) is the primary alternative for the final field study phase in the three-year FEMBA degree. GAP student teams, with support from faculty advisors, comprehensively analyze a technology-based foreign company. Directly confronting the challenges of doing business with a world view, students work with company executives over a period of six months, including a cultural immersion with a visit to the firm's headquarters. Students' research results provide the foundation for an investment-quality business plan in their final presentation that is critically evaluated by industry experts from a variety of backgrounds carefully chosen specifically for each company.
"GAP is the culmination of the FEMBA program, combining entrepreneurship, high-technology and management in a strategic and international context," explains Victor Tabbush, associate dean of UCLA Anderson's FEMBA program. "It applies, extends and reinforces all their academic studies in the experiential equivalent of a masters-level thesis." As with any program that aims to remain relevant, GAP is constantly evolving. After assuming the position of GAP's academic director last year, Bob Foster, an adjunct associate professor at UCLA Anderson, began a multi-layered redesign, further refining the focus toward high-technology-based entrepreneurial companies and away from the original emphasis on industry sectors and large corporations. Foster notes that these startups offer the greatest opportunity to have a real impact. To enhance students' preparation for the rigorous GAP experience, Foster also added his popular business development and high-technology management courses to the FEMBA curriculum, taking advantage of his previous experience as CEO for four high-tech firms and advisor to over 130 Anderson field studies.
"GAP provides a win-win-win proposition for all three of our constituencies: the students, the participating client companies and our regional partner agencies," Foster says. Partner agencies are GAP sponsoring organizations located overseas with the mission of enhancing their country's economic development and technological innovation. Eight nations have been represented so far. Beginning in 1999 and with 35 field study projects to date, one of GAP's strongest relationships is with Tekes, the National Technology Agency of Finland. "Before beginning our association with UCLA Anderson's Global Access Program, we did an exhaustive study of international business schools and found GAP to be unique, and our investigations since still have not found anything comparable," says Kimmo Ahola, head of office for the California location of Tekes. "The tremendous value our organizations have received over the years has confirmed our original assessment of the merits of a connection with GAP, and as the program develops, the results continue to get even better."
John Spruce (FEMBA '02), a 2001 GAP student, was part of a group working with Exote, a Finnish company that owns the patent on a new bulletproof armor plate material. The team found potential U.S. customers, prompted additional testing of the product and created a plan that attracted significant funding from investors. Spruce developed a relationship that resulted in the unusual outcome of Exote hiring him for their U.S. business development. "Exote's executives were surprised and impressed that students could accomplish so much," Spruce recalls. "However, they were not the only ones to benefit. We as students had an extremely valuable experience as well, and one that I don't think we could have gotten any other way."
Client companies represent a wide range of industries from countries all over the world, including Italy, New Zealand and Chile. FEMBA students, who each have an average of five years work experience, collectively contribute more then 2,000 hours to each company, which most small firms would find cost prohibitive at typical consultant rates. Elwin Svenson, FEMBA's executive director of international programs, travels extensively on behalf of GAP to develop and maintain relationships with partners and interview potential client firms. As a former vice chancellor of institutional relations for UCLA, he has 30 years experience in international cooperation and educational programs. GAP's clients benefit from the student's unbiased views of how well prepared they are to move to the next stage of corporate development, he says. "Unlike traditional consultants, who might feel pressure to tell their clients what they want to hear in order to retain their business, GAP students have no such financial incentive," says Svenson. "They are motivated to give honest judgments, since their grades are based on the quality of their appraisal."
Today's GAP is the result of the interweaving of strands from different sources in UCLA Anderson's history. Driven by student interest, it grew out of a blend of the original FEMBA field study program and the former Venture Development Program, which was established by Alan Carsrud under the auspices of UCLA Anderson's world renowned Harold Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies. In addition to Carsrud, GAP's founding faculty included Janis Forman, Richard Goodman and Svenson. Since its inception in 1998, more than 500 students and over 100 companies have participated in the multicultural experience GAP provides.
"The Global Access Program is an excellent example of integration across UCLA Anderson centers and programs in an effort to create meaningful professional education for our students," says Alfred E. Osborne, senior associate dean for external affairs and founder of the Price Center. "My sense is that GAP has helped raise international awareness of UCLA Anderson, demonstrated the value of real-time business development and contributed to our number one placement in entrepreneurship in the Financial Times worldwide ranking for the last three years."

Many young adults have not completed high school. There are a multitude of factors that contribute to this, many out of the control of the individual student. Our facility aims to provide those adults, aged 18-21, who have not completed high school the opportunity to complete a program that will enhance post-secondary education and career/employment opportunities.
We are committed to providing a mature, adult campus that supports the respective needs of students who are committing themselves to complete their education.
The Allan Blakeney Adult Campus is pleased to offer a variety of programs to assist students in completing or upgrading their grade 12 courses.
We offer:
High School Graduation Activities Notice
Regina Public Schools supports and acknowledges that the high school graduation ceremony is an important milestone and celebration of students' successful completion of their high school education.
In recent years, many of our high schools have hosted an additional evening celebration, such as a banquet or dance. It is important to note that those who participate in these events must respect and follow the same rules, policies and requirements that are followed during in-school activities. All participants in a school-organized banquet or dance, whether they are students, family, or other invited guests, must respect Regina Public Schools' policies, procedures and guidelines.
Additionally, all guests and participants must conduct themselves appropriately and according to the Shared Values of the school division. Failure to comply with this basic requirement may result in an individual being removed from the event and/or notification of the Regina Police Service. For example, if school staff and administration determine that a student, family member or other invitee is under the influence of any substance, such as alcohol or drugs, that individual will be asked to leave and will not be compensated for the purchase price of the ticket for the event.
Regina Public Schools staff takes great pride in hosting graduation activities that honour the achievements of our students. We also take the safety of our students and employees very seriously. With the support of parents, guardians, and our community, we can celebrate students' great achievements together and create an atmosphere that supports our Shared Values – I belong; I want to know; I am responsible, and I respect. Read about the Shared Values here: http://www.rbe.sk.ca/school-board/mission.

Authors Jim and Nancy Petro to Hold Lecture on How the Innocent are Convicted02/01/2013
Jim and Nancy Petro, authors of the book "False Justice – Eight Myths That Convict the Innocent," will visit The University of Akron School of Law on Thursday, March 14 from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. for a lecture titled "How We Convict the Innocent (and How We Can Stop)."
Jim and Nancy Petro's book examines the flaws in America's justice system which have led to an unacceptable number of wrongful criminal convictions. As Ohio Attorney General, Jim Petro was confronted with the spectre of mistaken conviction when the guilt of several prisoners was called into question. Since leaving that position, he has worked with the Ohio Innocence Project and others on ways to avoid mistaken convictions. In "False Justice" and the upcoming lecture, the Petros detail the eight myths of our justice system which produce these mistakes.
"We are tremendously honored to have Jim and Nancy Petro at the School of Law to discuss how our trust in the criminal justice system is sometimes misguided. Improving the reliability of that system is an aim everyone shares, and their contributions to that effort are immeasurable," says Professor Margery Koosed, who teaches criminal law and procedure at the School of Law.
The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will take place at Akron Law, 150 University Ave., Room 151. Registration is not required. A reception will immediately follow the lecture, during which the authors will hold a book signing.
Jim Petro is a former Republican Attorney General of Ohio. Throughout his 35-year career as an attorney and 28-year career as an elected public office holder, he has been publicly committed to strong law-and-order platforms. As Ohio Auditor of State, he and his team cleaned up a corrupt office and performed audits that led to the criminal conviction of an unprecedented 110 public officials in Ohio. His tenure as Attorney General was marked by a nation-leading effort that added 210,000 DNA profiles from Ohio felons and misdemeanants to the national DNA Codis database. This effort resulted in the immediate solving of dozens of cold cases, hundreds over the ensuing months and years. He was instrumental in passage of Ohio's Innocence Protection Legislation (SB 77), a model for reform around the country. Jim Petro most recently served as Chancellor of the Board of Regents of the State of Ohio, working to improve Ohio's higher education system.
Nancy Petro has 35 years of full-time experience in marketing, publishing, and business management and has taken an active role in her husband's political career.
The University of Akron School of Law promotes justice, the protection of individual liberty and the rule of law through commitment to excellence in teaching, scholarship and service. The law school features a nationally-recognized program in intellectual property, as well as one of four Constitutional Law Centers in the United States. To learn more, visit www.uakron.edu/law.

Howard Kurtz covers CNN's use of Democratic plants in the YouTube Republican candidates forum on Wednesday. CNN stands by its misconduct:
[Washington bureau chief David] Bohrman said network staffers, struck by Kerr's "very powerful" question, verified his military service and determined from federal records that he had made no campaign contributions. He said CNN never spoke to Kerr and had Google, which owns YouTube, bring the retired general and about a dozen other questioners to the debate because their videos were likely to be used, although no decision had been made….
Bohrman said he had no problem using questioners who have voiced support for other candidates as long as they are not donors or formally affiliated with any campaign. "We bent over backwards to be fair," he said. "We're not perfect. But we tried extremely hard."
CNN had Google fly Kerr to the forum in St. Petersburg so he could take a follow-up shot at the candidates. Glenn Reynolds provides the definitive comment: "Using Google for plane tickets is okay. But next time, try using them for . . . Googling." This morning Glenn quotes the background and recap by John Fund from OpinionJournal's Political Diary:
Last week, CNN's Anderson Cooper quipped in an interview with Townhall.com that

Indications Your Marriage Needs Help
Part of the When Your Marriage Needs Help Series
Series About:
Input From Family and Friends
If your family or friends recognize that you have a problem that needs addressing, pay attention. People outside your marriage can often spot a serious problem before you can. Family members and friends often have intuitive hunches or become concerned about your relationship based on behaviors or attitudes you may manifest. Listen carefully if someone says, "You guys need marriage counseling."
Children's Behavior
Another indicator involves your children. Their behavior can often provide a barometer of what is occurring inside a home. You and your spouse may believe that the current level of interaction and health in your marriage is okay and just the way it will be, but your children may sense that something is wrong and needs to change.
Young children often react to marriage problems through abnormal behavior. They begin to act out at school, around friends or even at home. The same is true of teens, who will often react to trouble at home by becoming involved in activities or with people that are out of character. Teens typically attempt to deal with the stress of an unhealthy marriage in unhealthy ways. Teen behavior and attitudes often provide a means of medicating their pain.
The Present Compared to the Past
A very practical, commonsense indicator that you need counseling comes from comparing the way your marriage used to be, to the way it is currently. In the beginning of marriage, most couples spend a great deal of time together, serve one another, compromise on differences, communicate and solve basic problems. Yet time, conflict and the stresses of life have a way of squeezing out healthy habits. A marriage cannot survive without a regular dose of basic nurturing.
If these practices were once commonplace and are now extremely rare or nonexistent, your marriage is likely struggling. All relationships become sick or eventually die without these basic ingredients being added to everyday interactions.
Physical Abuse
If physical abuse is taking place in your marriage, the first concern is safety. If you are being physically abused or threatened, get to a safe place. Don't remain in a situation where you are likely to be hurt again. Contact your local abuse hotline or the police. Though you may think what is occurring is justified, and you don't have any options, don't believe it. Physical abuse is never justified or normal. There are always options and people who can help you.
Substance Abuse
Most addiction problems in marriage – such as drugs, alcohol, gambling and pornography – cannot be solved by the addict or the spouse alone. Treatment for the specific addiction is a complex and long-term process. Most people cannot just stop an addictive behavior. It will not just go away. It requires professional help and ongoing accountability. Ongoing counseling and inpatient treatment is often required to effectively deal with an addiction. It can quickly destroy a marriage, so don't try to deal with it on your own.
Sexual Problems
Because sexual dynamics in marriage are so personal and so much a part of biblical oneness, this area of your marriage should be nurtured and protected. If sexual problems are persistent in your marriage, avoiding or ignoring them will not make them go away. Sexual problems can lead to more severe problems, such as a spouse seeking alternatives for having physical or emotional needs met. The Internet, pornography Web sites and online chat rooms are all breeding grounds for more problems.
As eating properly is essential to good physical health, healthy sex is vital to good marital health. Don't ignore sexual problems in your marriage.
Emotional Problems
If you or your spouse begin to experience problems such as ongoing anger, depression, anxiety, abnormal stress, guilt or biochemical problems (i.e., bipolar symptoms, schizophrenia, paranoia or other psychosis), help is needed. Emotional problems are often reactions and responses to something being out of balance with your spouse or in the relationship. Until the core problem(s) is properly addressed, the presenting problem(s) and emotional disturbances will keep reoccurring. One emotional problem left untreated can lead to more serious problems. For example, unhealthy anger can lead to severe depression. Until the anger issue is addressed, the depression will likely continue.
Extramarital Affairs
The discovery of an affair is one of the darkest and most painful moments in marriage. The emotional damage and accompanying symptoms that take place after an affair are monumental. There is no hurt or pain like the pain felt by a betrayed spouse. The emotional pain and intensity reflect the experience of an extremely traumatic event. Shock, denial, anger, depression and other emotions are normal. When this level of hurt occurs, you need to get professional help. After an affair, most people can't go through the healing process successfully without outside intervention. You experience thoughts, feelings and spiritual challenges never felt before.
Being objective and trying to manage the roller coaster of emotions alone should not be attempted without professional Christian counseling. Weekend marriage intensives are also available: They are specifically designed to help turn around marriages which have experienced crises such as affairs. Ongoing counseling and support are always necessary even after a couple attends an intensive or crisis seminar.
Realize that an extramarital affair doesn't necessarily mean your marriage is over. In fact, as painful and difficult as it can be, an affair has proven to be the turning point in many marriages to help them move beyond dysfunction and pain to health and success.
Prolonged withdrawal is always a dangerous sign. Withdrawal in a marriage indicates that one or both of you have reached a point of such intense pain that you can't function inside the relationship any longer, so you withdraw physically or emotionally. The natural result of withdrawal is a downward spiral into an apathetic state where you simply don't care any more. Communication, sex, affection and other normal relational necessities become nonexistent.
Ongoing withdrawal is one of the most difficult states a married couple can be in or get out of. As long as there is some type of interaction, including healthy arguments, there is still some level of concern or care in the marriage. But when one or both withdraws, it's a sign they have given up.
Counseling is typically needed to redirect the couple to the basics and start over to rebuild the trust, concern and emotion vital to the growth and functioning of a healthy marriage. Remember that just because you have tried counseling before, there is no reason not to try a different type of program or counseling in the future.
Destructive Patterns
Do you find you continue to follow the same destructive pattern? If you continue to experience a problem, and the same reactions surface repeatedly, it's likely you need outside help. Doing the same thing will only net you the same result. It is extremely easy for a couple to get into a perpetual rut. The only way to get out of a deeply rutted pattern is to change course and responses. Calling an experienced Christian therapist could be the first step to pull you out of the rut.
Some patterns can be altered without outside intervention. For example, a wife may consistently complain and nag as soon as her husband walks in the door from work. If she is made aware of this unconscious habit, she could easily become motivated to break it. Simply learning to give her husband a few minutes to unwind after arriving home may also precipitate a willingness on his part to respond to his wife's requests more promptly.
Negative Spiritual Relationship
The Bible teaches us that a marriage is systemically connected to a couple's relationship with God. If your marriage is unhealthy, it will eventually affect your spiritual life. The apostle Peter writes:
Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives . . . Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers (1 Peter 3:1-2,7, NIV).
Marriage problems can obstruct healthy access to God and the spiritual blessings that flow from it. If your marriage is in a tremendous amount of pain, chances are you will not focus on your relationship with God. You may even start acting like someone who is not a child of God. You will tend to say and do things that are out of character and dishonoring to God. Pain has a way of overriding our values, instincts and even our beliefs.
For example, no matter how well trained and mildly tempered a dog may be, if you stand on his paw long enough and with enough intensity, he may bite you. The same is true with pain: If you stay in it long enough, your thoughts, beliefs and behavior can be negatively (and dramatically) affected.
If your marriage is unhealthy, your walk with God may be as well. It is difficult to have one right and the other wrong. God purposely connected our spiritual relationships with our heavenly relationship. The way we perceive and treat each other definitely affects how we perceive and respond to our heavenly father.
God commands us to treat each other with love and respect: "Each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband" (Ephesians 5:33). God also views your marriage as a lifelong commitment to your spouse and to Him.

Mo-mentary lapse of reason: TV presenter asks Olympic champion if he has run before
LOS ANGELES: Double Olympic gold medallist Mo Farah appeared perplexed but kept his poise after being asked by a New Orleans television presenter if he had ever run before.
The British runner, who is the reigning Olympic champion in 5000 metres and 10,000 metres, won the New Orleans Rock 'n' Roll half-marathon in record time which earned him a live interview with local WSDU television reporter LaTonya Norton.
"Now haven't you run before?" asked Norton, who also confused the half-marathon with the marathon. "Haven't you run before? This isn't your first time."
Farah grinned and said he had competed in half-marathons previously but this was his first appearance in New Orleans.
The good-natured Somali-born Farah modestly made no mention in the Sunday interview -- which provoked a spate of internet chatter -- of his London gold medal heroics.
Farah won the race in a British national record time of 61 minutes, also a record for the course.
Farah recently announced he would run just half of this year's London Marathon before attempting the full course in 2014.
His coach Alberto Salazar has said he believes Farah could compete in the marathon at the 2016 Games in Rio.

I see a lot of discussion about the million of variants that will arise if the source code is ever released. But if I recall correctly, Thomas has said that the code is not well written and organized.
If this is the case not many variants will be done, maybe not even the silliest ones (AKA you find all artifacts laying at your feets in Terinyo)
To help basing the discussion on better facts, could Thomas release a sample of the code, maybe a single file or even a single function (as long as it is meaningfull) ? Something that is pretty average in the way that things are coded in ADOM but is not to spoilerish (does this word even exists)
I think it will help us see if any variants will in fact be possible to make.
Seeing all the reactions to the code sample may also help Thomas reach a decision.

PowerROC T25 DC helps Moroccan drilling firm win new major assignment.
December 7, 2015
It was the middle of the afternoon and the rush hour traffic in the small coastal town of Rikuzentakata had not yet begun and the streets were quiet. Some people were on their way to pick up their children from school, others were shopping or planning their evening meals.
Then the buildings began to shake, and within minutes the town fell victim to the worst earthquake in Japanese history.
Measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale, the quake whipped up a furious tsunami and waves some 18 m high swept across the lawns and scenic rice fields, leaving a trail of destruction.
By nightfall, with only a few buildings left standing in the lower coastal areas, the town had virtually disappeared. Over the next few days and weeks, the facts began to emerge – almost 4 000 homes destroyed, more than 1 700 people dead and thousands made homeless and desperate.
They were not alone. Some 250 km to the south, the eyes of the world watched in horror as engineers fought to save the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The attempt failed and a total meltdown, the biggest since Chernobyl, was a reality.
Numerous communities along the coastline suffered that day. But it is Rikuzentakata, in Iwate Prefecture, that has become the symbol of hope and belief in the future thanks to a massive reconstruction program that is now beginning to get results.
The muffled thud of rock being blasted is barely audible, but the thin veil of dust that blows in the wind from the Pacific Ocean reveals the location – a hillside above what was once a town and is now a virtual wasteland.
Minutes later, the mechanical sounds of drill rigs and earth moving equipment start up again. Since disaster struck four and a half years ago, the thousands of displaced residents of Rikuzentakata have been living in prefabricated, temporary shelters, with little hope of ever being able to return home. Now, thanks to the reconstruction project, that dream is a very realpossibility.
Launched in December 2012 at a cost of USD 1.6 billion, the local authority aims to construct a completely new community on the site, including homes, schools, hospitals, a railway station and a new commercial center. In addition, higher and stronger sea defences will be constructed along the coast – all by 2019.

Upfronts week gets into full swing this morning, with networks presenting their fall schedules to ad buyers and curious audiences. Very often, the networks announce the schedules first and then release teaser videos later in the day. I will update these posts as soon as video becomes available, so check back later.
FOX has picked up quite a few new shows, but cancelled relatively few old ones: Touch, The Mob Doctor, Ben & Kate, The Cleveland Show and Fringe are all making way for the new slate of programming. (Scroll down for a gallery of other shows that have been cancelled this year.)
But perhaps the biggest news of the day is that Jack Bauer is back! According to Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly, 24: Live Another Day, will likely debut in May 2014 and run through the summer. It is being promoted as an event series and will consist of 12 episodes rather than the traditional 24. Apparently some hours will be skipped, like when Jack grabs a sandwich or a nap. So, technically, it should be called 12: Live Another Day, but I'm not here to quibble.
As for the shows that will debut in the fall and over the midseason:
7 p.m. Bones (fall)/ALMOST HUMAN (late fall)
J.J. Abrams' new FOX show (not to be confused with his new NBC show) sounds a little Robocoppy: In the future, police are paired up with highly evolved human-like android partners. I'd buy that for a dollar!
8 p.m. SLEEPY HOLLOW (fall)/The Following (midseason)
Ichabod Crane is resurrected and brought into the 21st century to save humanity from destruction? By "unraveling a mystery that dates back to the founding fathers"? This new series is from the guys who gave us Fringe, so I will reserve my skepticism until I see the pilot. Still, this sounds very … high-concepty.
7 p.m. DADS
Seth MacFarlane gets into the live-action comedy business with this multi-camera sitcom about two friends (Giovanni Ribisi and Seth Green) whose lives are invaded by their fathers (Martin Mull and Peter Riegert). It's a good cast, but I'm not a huge MacFarlane fan, so.
7:30 p.m. BROOKLYN NINE-NINE
Andy Samberg has a sitcom, guys! In this single-camera comedy from the creators of Parks & Recreation, Samberg plays a carefree cop who has to prove himself to his new gruff Commanding Officer, played by Andre Braugher. Because when you think comedy, you think "Andre Braugher."
8 p.m. New Girl
8:30 p.m. The Mindy Project
7 p.m. The X Factor (fall)/American Idol (midseason)
7 p.m. The X Factor (fall)/American Idol (midseason)
8 p.m. Glee (Fall)/RAKE (midseason)
Greg Kinnear plays a charming, brilliant lawyer who's life happens to be something of a disaster in this new, House-esque legal drama.
7 p.m. JUNIOR MASTERCHEF (fall)
Like MasterChef, but with kids.
8 p.m. SLEEPY HOLLOW (encores)
Late Fall
7 p.m. Bones
8 p.m. Raising Hope
8:30 p.m. ENLISTED
The handsome Geoff Stults finally gets his own series with this sitcom about the oldest of three brothers who serves as his younger siblings' platoon leader on a military base in Florida. Stripes-esque hijinks, undoubtedly, ensue.
6:30 – 9 p.m. Fox Sports Saturday
10 p.m. – 11:30 p.m. ANIMATION DOMINATION HIGH-DEF
(There isn't any description what, exactly, this will be. Stay posted.)
6 p.m. NFL Games (fall)
6:30 p.m. The OT (fall)
7 p.m. The Simpsons
7:30 p.m. Bob's Burgers
8 p.m. Family Guy
8:30 p.m. American Dad
Other series that have been picked up by FOX, but not yet scheduled include:
Christopher Meloni stars as a 1990s father who is struggling to parent his teenage son who has suddenly become popular with girls. Which hardly seems like the worst problem in the world to have, honestly.
Alexis Bledel and Jason Ritter star in this "romantic" comedy about a hipster couple and their wacky and interfering friends and family.
An animated comedy about an inept cop who is paired with an egotistical, rule-breaking cop in a "twisted" precinct.
Terry O'Quinn stars in this cop drama about Los Angeles' Gang Task Force. Also, RZA! RZA as in Wu-Tang RZA! He plays a member of the crew who might also have ties to one of LA's gangs, which, you know, might be something of a conflict of interest.
M. Night Shyamalan is involved with what is being described as an "event" about a mysterious town with no contact with the outside world. What could the twist ending be? (They're all dead, obviously.)
That's the lineup! What are you most looking forward to on FOX's slate?

Daghdha Dance Company
Daghdha Dance Company was formed by Teresa Leahy and Mary Nunan at the University of Limerick in 1988, and was led by artistic director Mary Nunan until 2000. Daghdha quickly established itself as a dance company with a unique artistic identity and attracted funding from the Arts Council/an Chomhairle Ealaíon. During Mary Nunan's directorship, the company toured extensively throughout Ireland and was invited to perform at international dance festivals in London, Paris, Berlin, Munich, Barcelona and Mexico City. In 2000 Yoshiko Chuma took over as artistic director. For the next three years, Yoshiko Chuma further developed Daghdha's international profile by touring theatrical dance concerts, street performances and large-scale productions throughout Europe, America and Japan. Michael Klien was appointed artistic director in July 2003. Under the stewardship of Klien, Daghdha has moved to its inspiring new premises in Limerick's city centre, where it has continued to develop and strengthen its position as a pioneer of contemporary dance in Ireland and beyond.
