The editorial page of The Seattle Times on Tuesday continued its penchant for being long on criticism and short on specifics when it comes to government budgets that are in crisis.
The Times doesn't like Gov. Chris Gregoire's plan to shift responsibility for oversight and operations of Washington State Ferries to a regional body with its own taxing authority. That's fine – lots of Democrats and Republicans in the state Legislature also say the governor's idea is a non-starter. Echoing these lawmakers, The Times says ferries are a statewide responsibility, just as building new interstate bridges are.
"Regarding the ferries, that part not covered by fares, or by federal grants, should be covered by state taxpayers generally," The Times editorial states. "How to do it in the 2011-13 biennium is a problem. The state will not be able to do all it wants, and the ferry system will be short. That's life – and it's the same problem the other state agencies have. The ferry system should fight it out for funding, the same as other state programs."
Fairview Fanny doesn't offer any suggestions. Would they support further fare increases? They don't really say. Would they be OK with further reductions in runs, or axing entire routes? How about privatizing the system, as some lawmakers have suggested?
No word on that.
And how should lawmakers prioritize as they deal with a broken budget?
The ferry system – the nation's largest – gets its money from the state transportation budget. That spending plan is funded mainly by the gas tax, federal funds and bond sales. It's also how Washington pays for its roads. Does The Times think maintaining ferry service is more important than replacing the 520 bridge? Another $2 billion is needed from some place to make that replacement a reality. It's with projects like this that WSF, which has a $180 million deficit in its operating budget over the next 10 years and an $865 million shortfall in its capital program, must compete.
And speaking more broadly, which other agencies should the ferry system "fight it out" with? The state's universities and colleges, which will likely soon raise tuitions beyond the means of many Washingtonians? The human services agencies that provide things for the poor, sick and elderly? The state's prison system, which is already closing institutions?
The budget's a mess, to be sure. But if The Times wants its opinions to be taken seriously, it has to start offering suggestions along with the jabs.

April – Beautiful!
Brittanie – Andria, this is amazing! Whitney is one of my dearest friends and to see her dad, the "strongest" of them, caught in this light and with his family is worth more than a million words. So glad you selected Doug and so glad I was able to see these beautiful photos! Love his project
michele – such a touching story of courage and perseverance. it's wonderful to see someone fighting to keep living a full and fabulous life.
Whitney – Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can't stop looking at these images and celebrating my dad. Such a gift you gave us, Andria. Looking forward to seeing you again in April!
Carly – Andria, you did an amazing job! What a wonderful way to celebrate Doug and the strong family. The pictures are amazing and Doug looks great!
Jen – Thank you for celebrating my Uncle Doug! What an amazing photo shoot! I loved reading this and looking at the pictures. I will enjoy them again and again. Thank you for your touching work.
carolina – absolutely beautiful!
Emily – This is so incredibly beautiful and inspiring. Live every moment. Period. Your images are stunning.
Kristy Field – oh, wow. What a touching story and such sensitive images.
Nataly – I stumbled onto your page on a particularly slow day at work and have now been on for the last half (okay maybe whole) hour just looking at your incredible (INCREDIBLE) photographs. This post though, made me stop and do whatever I could to keep from crying in the middle of the office. I lost my mother just 2 years ago to Glioblastoma. During her short 3 month battle, I remember desperately searching for stories of survivors of this disease, people that have beaten the (very grim) odds to offer a bit of comfort, but rarely found anything. Until now… and even though it's after the fact, coming across Doug's story & photographs makes me feel so hopeful for him, for his family. There ARE survivors to celebrate! Thank you for capturing this story. The photos of him with his wife and daughter just warm my heart.
Carol – Today..(December 13, 2012) Whitney and I are in Maui celebrating Doug–after a long two years. I pulled up your wonderful blog to have a "moment" with him. Thank you again for this huge gift of caring–it is so amazing for us.
Happy holidays to you!!

Drew Renner – Holy Cow I love this post. This kid melts my heart with his energy and personality. Looking at these images, I feel like I was watching him run around doing funny things and listening to the people around him laugh. Your ability to capture authentic images that truly portray people the way they really are. That takes a keen eye and attention to detail… which most aren't patient enough for. Grreat job!

Joyce Alexander – This is so touching and beautiful. The moments and emotion you described really come through in the images you captured.

Kathy – There is something incredibly amazing about this post that brought me to tears…at my desk…at work… I gave up a son to adoption (to my sister) some 13 years ago and I know the smiles on Nate and Amber's faces are the same joy my sister experienced. Beautiful images of a life changing day in their lives!
Nicole – Beautiful Andria.
Rachael – What a special day for you to be a part of! Awesome photos, as usual. I'm so happy for all three of them, they just look so happy they are about to burst.

Magnus – Love the story. Being adopted, this story was extra special. Beautifully done Andria.
Christin – I couldn't be there the day of the adoption, but these photos make me feel like I was a part of it. Thank you Andria! They will be treasured.
PaPa – Our newly adopted grandson is a treasure to all of us. He was a treasure upon arrival as a foster child. We know he has great, wonderful parents that we are so proud of. Thank you for capturing this miracle in a visual display. This energetic bundle of a boy will bring sunshine to share with our families.I had many tears of joy today! PaPa & Nanny

Laurie Dale – Wow-what an inspiration! it is heartwarming to see two former students doing the most important, wonderful and hardest job in the world!!! I'm so proud of you both-All my best, Mrs Dale
Jennifer Tripp – I second the Wow from Mrs. Dale. What an incredible gift both ways. I know that you will be great parents and Isaiah is one lucky little boy. My best to you and your new family. May much happiness and joy be yours always. All my best to you now and in the future, Ms. Tripp
Brooke – I love the idea. And actually wrote to you months ago asking to use your idea. (I understand how your inbox overflows though… no worries.) But I love the idea of a group sharing together. You inspire people. And if we can be inspired, why not inspire the ones around us.
Barbara Haskell – the power of love…,
Now, that is one beautiful family!
Ravyn – Wow. Wow. Wow … What an amazing story of love. You captured that day (and their love) so perfectly! So good.

Chantel – I loved this idea back when you announced it Andria and I think I love it even more now! This may become a movement. God bless you. <3
Julia Manchik – What a fabulous idea, Andria. The ones you've shot already are amazing. I can't imagine how much cooler this will get. You need to take this bigger and get more photographers involved because I'm sure most are willing.
Chantel – I loved this idea back when you announced it Andria and I think I love it even more now! This may become a movement. God bless you.
Kylie – Such a beautiful project. Whenever I recommend you to people I always show them your "inspira(shown)" section, it really shows the heart you have for what you do and the people you come into contact with. Can't wait to see more of these in the future!!!
lydia {ever ours} – i can't wait to see what comes your way. such an amazing project to take on again, andria!
Kathy S. – It is so good to see you coming back full circle to this project…it impacted me immensely this time last year for so many reasons you know to well as you have heard the entire story yourself…looking forward to seeing your always amazing work Andria!
Janelle – I'm so excited this is back! It was your month about Lindsey that first connected me to your blog and every single Inspira(shown) you've done since then has continued to blow my mind. I love your engagement and wedding blogs (excited to see mine!) but the Inspira(shown) blogs are the ones I check for every single day. So much good. <3
nirav – Amazing Andria. Love this so much :).
Lisa Davis – Andria – I love each of these stories. I'm so excited to know you'll be doing more!! You have such a gift, to take us there not only with your beautiful, amazing pictures, but with your words as well. What a beautiful way to honor Christ!! Blessings to you, Lisa
jenny wohrle – this is truly beautiful, Andria.
Brooke – I fell in love with your photography when you started this project. You've grown so much since then but I'm so happy to see it return. I hope to one day share my own work people who inspire one another.
Katie – all these stories are giving me chills. The photos make me cry. Beautifully done Andria. These people are beyond inspiring. Thank you for doing these!
Lacey – I'm so excited you're doing this again.
Danielle Wagner – I have been following your blog for some time now but this post and these stories have really touched my heart, especially Lisa's story. My brother-in-law is leaving for Afghanistan January 1 and leaving behind his wife and 4 little boys (ages 12, 10, 1 1/2, and 3months. I can only imagine Lisa's heartache and I will pray each and everyday for her as well as the other strong women and their families that you photographed. Thank you for sharing their stories and the beautiful images. They are all beautiful inside and out.
Erica G – Andria,I don't know how I missed all of your Inspira blogs, they are beautiful. I cried the whole way through Lisa's and was able to barely keep myself composed through the rest. What a beautfiul thing to share. Recently I feel that I keep being reminded of how much I have to be thankful for and that I need to share what blessings I can with others. Thank you, for yet another reminder
Rachael – All I can say is "wow". You felt God tugging on your heart and did something about it. This is so amazing. The Inspira(shown) pictures you've posted so far brought tears to my eyes, but also reminded me how resilient the human spirit can be! I love your photos because of their honesty. I just happened to stumble upon your blog today because I saw a wedding you shot at Hidden Meadows on greenweddingshoes.com, and wanted to check out your wedding photography for my future wedding. But what I found was so much more!! This blog is one I will definitely be following from now on! Please continue to keep doing what you are doing!
P.S. I totally "got" how to pronounce inspira(shown).

jeff marsh – wow. moving. even more grateful for our military and their families.
nicole firestone – With tears welled up I sit here mute. Touching real life photographs and beautiful story.
Kirsten – What an amazing set of pictures. They capture the love and madness of most homes.
Samantha – Thanks for making me cry at work Andi….touching
KT Barnes – love this. i actually had just read about lisa in the JBLM newspaper and fell in love.
Chelsea Abril – perfect.
i could look at these all day.
Liz – Ok, I'm crying. At my desk. Beautiful story. Gorgeous photos. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to hug my husband a little tighter tonight!
Amy Voitik – As a military wife myself, I'm so incredibly moved by these pics!! God Bless this family and great job Andi for capturing the life of what so many go through and deal with day to day!!!
Valerie – Thanks to John for his sacrifice in serving our country and to Lisa and the kids for theirs.
Great photos, Andria.
Alice – beautiful
Kathy – Amazing Andria. I sat at my desk and cried today (your words do that to people) when I read this, but couldn't find words to write at that time. Having spent 20 years in myself, and having been to the same locations, made me cringe. Never can one day be taken for granted in this God given life that we have been blessed. Too many times people don't stop to thank someone such as John enough – not that he, I or anyone else look for it. But there is nothing more amazing to have someone say "Thank you for your service" and pay for your coffee.
All too often military spouse's are forgotten – and the sacrifices they make each and every day. God Bless you Lisa, and your children. Thier father's legacy will forever be with them. Continue to stay strong and forever remember that your husband's calling was to be in uniform. He marches with old Soldiers now, watching over each of you.
Thank you Andria, for sharing such a heart warming story. Amazing images of a beautiful family!
Ashli – This is absolutely breath taking andi. What a strong and powerful woman, so inspiring.
Michelle Reichert – So very touching!!! I have been friends with Lisa for a few years, our husband's worked together and then we met. I was there the night she found out the horrific news of John's death and have heard the story over and over again, but the way you wrote her story and how you captured their life was so perfect. She is amazing and these words and pictures truly captured that beautifully.
joanna – I sit here reading this story as tears roll down my face. Lisa is an inspiration, a role model and simply an amazing woman. Thank you for sharing this. The pictures are beautiful.
Marilyn – Sad, proud, inspired, ashamed (for my petty worries), fearful, joyful . . . INSPIRED!!!
Cynthia – You are an inspiration Lisa. I think of you and John everyday. I always wondered what the knecklace stood for. So beautiful. Your family is beautiful.
Jenn Thelen – Thank you for capturing this remarkable family. I was lucky enough to be apart of Lisa and John's life and share many memories with them. Especially Diamond Head. A magical moment of love that has stuck with me forever. She is a true Angel of God. Love you Lisa.
Amanda – beautiful tribute to John & Lisa- what a wonderful legacy he left behind.
karla olson – what an amazing story…what a fantastic mother! God bless you!
Kerlina – Well done! CPT Hallett, you will never be forgotten, especially not by those who love you and by those who respect you.
Heidi – Lisa is an amazing woman, a true inspiration of strength and love.
Sara – I was taken aback by this story. A friend of mine shared this with me, her husband was part of his brigade and shared this with me. I did not expect it touch me as much as it did.
Before finding my friend on FB and finding out she married a service man I was a strong opponent to anything to do with war-soldiers. God used her friendship, her family, her husband to change my view. I still don't like war – who does?
My 'self focus' was changed to others focus because I realized that soldiers and their families are HUMAN – This story captures that Humaness which is important for people to see.
It is so easy to get into the debate of war – the protests – BUT in intellectualizing the 'war' do not Forget the Soldiers and their families – humans, trying to survive, trying to reach for something they believe in – Something I [you] might not be able to do [fight in a war] but for some reason they are given the strength and courage to do what you can not – FOR YOU [me].
God bless all soldiers and their families. You really put the HUMAN in the 'casualty of war' phrase that often gets buzzed on the news.
{{hugs to you and your family}} You are an inspiration to LOVE.
Jeanne Hallett – The pictures are amazing- Lisa your strength never ceases to amaze me. I am sad that I didn't have a chance to get to know my cousin very well but he lives on through your love!!!
Laura O'Brien – Lisa- I want to be just like you. I love when you share this story, and your life with others. You are a inspiration! The days I don't feel like going for a run, I think well Lisa has 3kids and she finds time! Durning my runs I enjoy just thinking, and thinking about you, John and the kids! I look forward to getting to see you guys again! Jenn and I will be working on a trip! Take Care and God Bless you and the crew!
Michelle Ocampo – I adore these images of Lisa and the kiddos…adorable. {{HUGS}} Lisa! 😉
Gaye Lynn – So moving and so important. I wept and prayed for Lisa and her sweet babies. I don't know her, but she makes me so proud. The pictures are the most beautiful and intimate…I felt like I was let in on the secret of their lives together…in a way that was so personal. Thank you for sharing Lisa's story and for helping us to know a tiny bit of how immeasurably great John was. When Jesus brings Lisa to my heart, I will be praying for her. With love from WI.
Jonas Seaman – This is soooo beautiful and moving. God Bless!
Meg – Andria, you are so much more than an artist! Your inspira(shown) brings me to tears almost every time. I am sitting at my computer sobbing! Thank you for using your talent and your time to capture these stories and to impact so many of us who read and look at the beauty you capture. Amazing!

Ah, we're going to miss Phil Mote.
The outgoing Washington climatologist was making what has to be one of his last major addresses in that role today — he'll soon start splitting his time between the University of Washington and his new job in Oregon — to about 600 planners, scientists and others interested in climate change.
Specifically, the all-day conference at the Washington State Trade and Convention Center is digging into the new report analyzing the future effects of climate change on Washington. Here's our story on the report.
You may have been hearing that the earth has entered a period of global cooling. Some of Dateline Earth's frequent — if perhaps less-than-expert — correspondents have brought this up. It turns out that the last three years have been the coolest in awhile, Mote told the 600 or so people assembled today.
To be specific, they were three of the coolest years in the last 15 or 20. But if you look over the last century or so, they were about average, Mote said. So you can't start talking about "global cooling" anytime soon:
That would be like saying, 'Well, the stock market had a good week last week, so the recession must be over.' You can't project the future based on short periods. We cannot conclude based on the last few years that global warming is over.
Nor should we read much about the global situation into the fact that Seattle has seen significant snowfall for several years running now:
Deducing anything from that climate record would be like saying, 'I have one stock, and it's up, so the recession must be over.'
Mote went on to a make a great analogy between climate change and curling. Yep, we're talking about that Canadian-flavored sport that looks like a combination between bowling, shuffleboard, hockey and sweeping the kitchen floor.
You know how in curling they have to push that big…. thing… down an alley and try to get it to stop at a certain spot? Remember that.
In projecting where the temps will go, scientists must first consider the various scenarios for greenhouse gas emissions, Mote said. There's no way to know where we'll end up, policy-wise, and what that will mean in terms of emissions.
OK, so far, so good. We get that.
Next, though, scientists also are not sure just how sensitive the globe and its atmosphere are, global warming-wise, to those emissions scenarios. Here's where the curling analogy comes in. You know how they push that big … thing? (It's a granite stone, Wikipedia tells me.)
We are all that curling player who gives the stone a push. We're about to give that thing a push. We've already started, actually. Whenever we can reduce emissions is analogous to when the player lets go. After that, does the stone go a long way? "Or do we have a very unresponsive climate that will stop at a few degrees" increase?
Mote addressed the handful in the audience who held up their hands when he asked about who had watched the Canadian sport:
I'm sorry to pick on curling, but it was the best analogy I could come up with for climate sensitivity.
Update 7:47 p.m.: I stepped out of the room for a while and apparently when I was gone, Mote answered a question about the press's role in all this climate stuff by commending my reporting. For the record, I want to make it clear that I did not hear Mote's kind words and wrote the nice things I did about Mote above before learning about them.

Timeline: Sanjay Dutt's 1993 Mumbai blasts trial trail
We trace back the series of events that eventually culminated in the Bollywood star's 3-and-half year imprisonment
January 1993: Film producer Hanif Kadawalla and his business partner Samir Hingora, associates of Anees Ibrahim who is the brother of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim, deliver an AK-56 rifle and pistol to actor Sanjay Dutt at his residence in Bandra. The actor, later in his statement, had said that he acquired the weapons for self-defence.
March 12, 1993: A series of 13 bomb blasts rock the city, in the aftermath of the post-Babri Masjid demolition riots, killing 257 people and injuring 713. Dutt was at the time shooting for the movie 'Aatish' in Mauritius.
Photos: Bollywood stars visit Sanjay Dutt
April 19, 1993: Dutt is arrested under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities Act (TADA) on charges of possessing illegal arms and having contacts with the main conspirators of the serial blasts.
April 28, 1993: In a recorded confession made to the police, Dutt said his concern for his family in the face of threats during the communal riots had prompted him to obtain the weapons.
May 5, 1993: Dutt is granted bail after the actor's lawyers move the High Court stating that Dutt was wrongly detained under TADA.
In pictures: Sanjay Dutt and 1993 blasts: A traumatic link
November 1993: The primary chargesheet is filed against the 189 accused in the serial blasts case, including Dutt.
July 4, 1994: Dutt's bail is cancelled and he is taken to Arthur Road prison after the police find substantial evidence linking the actor to the blasts.
October 17, 1995: After spending 16 months in prison on remand, Dutt is granted bail after the Supreme Court states that the actor's confession is not enough evidence to keep him in detention.
November 28, 2006: The TADA court acquits Dutt of charges of conspiracy in the 1993 serial blasts framed under the TADA Act, but convicts him of the lesser crime of possessing arms that carries a maximum prison term of three years.
July 31, 2007: Dutt is sentenced to six years rigorous imprisonment after the actor's plea to get probation on the basis of his good conduct
gets rejected. He is sent to Yerawada Central Jail, Pune.
August 2007: Dutt moves the Supreme Court challenging his conviction, seeks bail.
November 27, 2007: The Supreme Court grants Dutt bail.
August 2012: The SC commences its final hearing on Dutt's appeal against his conviction in the blasts case.
March 21, 2013: Dutt's conviction is upheld, and the six-year jail term is reduced to five. But having spent 18 months in jail earlier, he would have to now serve three-and-a-half years in jail.

Every month as part of my year on Ali Edwards' Creative Team, I get the opportunity to work with the physical (and digital) products released for that kit and create a story-related project. As with all new adventures, usually it takes a couple of tries for me to figure out what I want to do and how I want to bring it all together.
And this month I figured it out.
As part of the Story Kit release, I'm creating a DIY Traveler's Notebook out of a combination of printed digital pages (made in MS Word and printed on Matte Photo Paper) and the physical story kit. I add in digital stamps and create pages out of the stamps and cards, as needed. And the combination of mediums – digital/physical hybrid – coordinates into a small 8-page notebook that I absolutely love on that month's subject, in real time.
This month's story kit is focused on what we EAT.
Ali always offers prompts for the word – both through the story kit classroom and on the cards and stamps themselves. I'll be honest – I usually don't get to the classroom before I start creating — and that was especially true this month because EAT is something that is very much on our minds lately.
So as I pulled this album together, I realized just how many stories I had to tell.
And now I'm considering a second volume.
We'll see.
For now, here's my DIY Traveler's Notebook for the EAT Story Kit — woo!
March 2017 EAT AE Story Kit
The first page was all about celebrating Adeline's half birthday (hooray 6 MONTHS!) with an over-the-top 6-layer cake that I dedicated one full Friday night to.
It was worth it!
It all started when Max asked to go on Pinterest and look up craft ideas (as we sometimes do). Initially we were looking for Rice Krispie Treats themed for St. Patrick's Day, but everything got tossed to the side when he saw the Minion cupcakes made with Twinkies.
Thus, the weekend cake party was born. And I spent two days making all the preparations.
The next story came from a facebook status I wrote at the beginning of the month – a half funny, half annoyed experience at Starbucks – when I got the best iced macchiato OF MY LIFE.
Then, there was the time that Chris and I – after basically a full year of never going on a date (because of my complicated pregnancy and, you know, the baby that came after 😉 ) we FINALLY snuck out on a spontaneous Friday night dinner when Max begged to sleep over his grandmother's house.
I'll share the full list of supplies at the bottom, it's a bit of a hodge podge, but in the best way!
The last page was a typed summary of the experiences we had with food this month – eating with friends, going out to eat, and the experiences we have around food and meal time. And, of course, there is a bit on what Adeline is eating (which is changing, literally, every meal – she's growing SO FAST, friend!).
This back cover style is becoming a favorite tradition of mine – to add a quote (in this case from Ali's kit) to the back cover, and crop it down to size.
I am SO pleasantly surprised with how this project came together! It's been such a joy to work with these supplies — I honestly have enough left over to add "eat" to my Project Life Album and still make another DIY traveler's notebook.
And maybe I will … 😉
Supplies Used:
- Canon Pixma Printer
- Canon Matte Photo Paper
- Ali Edwards EAT Story Kit
- Shimelle True Stories Paper Pack
- Sharpie Pen (black)
- Project Life Forever Young Card Kit
Happy crafting, friends!

It's been a little bit of time since I've last linked up with Jenn for some food lately, but today is the day. I have been enjoying some different meals lately, and want to share!
Birthday dinner at my parents on Saturday. It was unbelievably delicious. Steak cooked medium for me, sweet potato, grilled veggies, and fresh Italian bread. Mmm, so good!
Food on our new grill! These grilled veggies are my favorite things. I love mixing all the veggies up and getting the different tastes all together.
Chicken topped with some Rotel, Cous Cous, and asparagus
This week started off with some much needed food prep.
…including these bad boys, ha. I love goldfish #noshame
Nachos from Mad Mex. I wasn't impressed, and wish I would have gotten something else.
Mother's Day brunch, mmm.
Tyical breakfast of oatmeal and cookie butter, with a cinnamon applesauce muffin.
Veggie kabobs on the grill! Mmm, our dinners have had lots of veggies since we got our grill!
School lunch for Teacher Appreciation week
Dessert in the form of Rita's Italian Ice
Oh, and this has been eaten, mostly by me. #noshame #ever #cookiecakemmm
What have your meals been lately?
Tell me your favorite snack you could eat over and over again and never get sick of.
Mine's pretzels.

Professor Jane Bruner, associate dean of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, is especially pleased by a recent $1.4 million stem cell grant extension that will bolster Sacramento State's Professional Science Master's (PSM) program.
The degree program was born of a partnership between Sacramento State's Department of Biological Sciences and the UC Davis Stem Cell Program. The academic alliance was forged four years ago to create a comprehensive program, including an internship, to prepare graduates for careers as stem cell professionals.
Bruner, a Sac State graduate in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Clinical Laboratory Technology, is project director for the grant extension. She cites the program's success for the continued funding. "I spent a few sleepless nights trying to get the extension wording just right," she says, "because this program has been such an incredible experience for our students."
Three years ago, Sac State and UC Davis won a $1.3 million "Bridges to Stem Cell Research" grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). The grant extension will propel the 20-month graduate degree program that focuses on producing the next generation of stem cell scientists.
PSM students focus on practical research and laboratory projects that prepare them for careers in the stem cell field. Employers of recent PSM graduates in the biosciences range from academic laboratories to multinational pharmaceutical companies and newer biotechnology companies.
"Students learn specialized techniques such as good manufacturing practices, adult and embryonic stem cell culture, and (how) to scale up production for cellular therapies, which will play an important role in advancing stem cell science and bringing new treatments to patients who need them," says Jan Nolta, Stem Cell Program director for UC Davis' Institute for Regenerative Cures and herself a Sacramento State graduate.
Bruner sees the UCD stem cell center as "an incredible asset that allows our students to go beyond the cutting edge in learning and participating in researching potential cures for dreaded diseases." She likens the training students receive in the accelerated 20-month PSM program to medical school. "They are also trained in best practices that make the crucial connection between theory, research and patients," she says. This year's students are currently working to solve the mystery of malignant melanoma, ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), liver cell therapy, liver disease, neural stem cells and brain tumors.
Every PSM graduate has landed a job in the scientific community or has pursued a doctorate. Bruner's only regret is that the program cannot accommodate all of the highly qualified applicants.
"Nearly the entire grant funding goes toward providing students an incredible opportunity to be involved in working to produce treatments for patients with deadly and disabling diseases," she says.
For media assistance, contact Sacramento State's Public Affairs office at (916) 278-6156.

Former United Way Employee Indicted for Stealing Over $400,000 in Donations
|U.S. Attorney's Office April 28, 2011
BALTIMORE—A federal grand jury indicted Dorothy Shields Talbot, age 48, of Baltimore, today for wire fraud in connection with a scheme to steal at least $400,788 in donations issued to her employer, United Way of Central Maryland.
The indictment was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein and Special Agent in Charge Richard A. McFeely of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
According to the two count indictment, the United Way of Central Maryland was a non-profit charitable organization located in Baltimore. United Way received charitable donations and disbursed funds as directed by donors to support charities in the central Maryland area of Baltimore City and the counties of Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Carroll, Harford, and Howard. From September 2001 until December 2010, Talbot worked in United Way's finance department and was responsible for depositing donations into a corporate operating bank account.
The indictment alleges that in December 2004, Talbot became responsible for closing a checking account that had been used for employee activities. Instead of closing that account, however, Talbot allegedly deposited donor checks issued to United Way into that account, rather than into the corporate operating account. Talbot caused the mailing address for the checking account to be changed from United Way's office to her home. From December 2004 to December 2010, Talbot allegedly withdrew over $400,000 of the monies deposited into the checking account, which she used for her own personal benefit.
The indictment seeks forfeiture of $400,788 or more.
Talbot faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000. Talbot's initial appearance has not been scheduled.
An indictment is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by indictment is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceedings.
This law enforcement action is part of President Barack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. President Obama established the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to wage an aggressive, coordinated, and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the FBI for its work in the investigation and praised Assistant U.S. Attorneys Barbara S. Sale and Sean O'Connell, who are prosecuting the case.

Complete list of Antioxidants in food
Vitamin A, also known as retinol is synthesized inside our body. They protect vegetables which are dark green, orange and yellow in color, from solar radiation. In the human body this particular vitamin plays a similar role. Carrots, squash, broccoli, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, mangoes, oranges, sea buckthorn, kale, cantaloupe and peaches are particularly rich in beta carotene.
Vitamin C is water soluble and mixes well with it. It is basically ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid fulfills a number of major roles in our body.
It is generally found in Citrus fruits like sweet line and oranges. Broccoli, strawberries, black currants, tomatoes and raw cabbage are good sources of Vitamin C or ascorbic acid.
Vitamin E contains tocopherol and tocotrienol, both are fat soluble and protect lipids. There are various sources of vitamin E in the likes of seabuckthorn, wheat germ, seeds, nuts, whole grains, kiwifruit, and fresh-liver oil. The main form in which Alpha tocopherol is consumed is Vitamin E. In recent times various studies have been conducted which would show that tocotrienol have anti-oxidant like properties

Why is it so effective that Speak is written in first person? Why is it ironic?
- print Print
- list Cite
The first person narration is so effective in this novel because it allows us to walk in Melinda's shoes and hear her inner thoughts. The great irony in all of this is just that--for the majority of the novel, Melinda is unable and unwilling to speak; we, however, have the luxury of hearing her story.
Without the first person narration, we wouldn't be able to feel as strong of a connection to Melinda's plight and the emotional turmoil she feels in adjusting to high school and her new reality as a survivor of sexual abuse. Hearing the story in her own words helps make it "real" for the reader. We cannot avoid the pain and torment she feels and begin to experience it vicariously through her.
I would say that the use of the first person helps to bring articulation to the idea of voice reclamation. Melinda spends the majority of the novel attempting to reclaim her voice. The world treats her with apathy or scorn, refusing to hear her speak. The use of the first person narrative allows this voice to resonate. While the world cannot understand nor seeks to do so, we as the reader, do. We begin to understand how perceptive she is and how insightful she is. The use of the first person helps us, as the reader, grasp how intricate and complex the adolescent voice truly is and empowers us to ensure that all voices can "speak," similar to Melinda's.
I find it effective because we all wander the halls of high school knowing about the girl who did that over the weekend, or in Melinda's case, over the summer. However, it is rare that we actually are the kid that did the act that everybody knows about. This puts us in her position, we see how she responds to the world through her eyes, the eyes of the victim of high school gossip and ridicule. We feel it. This is all so ironic because it is easy to be the gossipers and ridiculers and we are forced to live her experience as audience members.

The subcompact 2004 Scion xA hatchback has a short hood and virtually no butt - an odd shape that's vaguely reminiscent of a baby's high-top shoe.
There's something odd about the xA's list of options, too. It includes an unusual number of customizing extras not normally found in low-priced, small cars at dealerships.
Among them: Cupholder lighting, a Bazooka Mobile Audio subwoofer, Superior Dash taillamp garnish, Grenada license plate frames, Yakima roof rack and front strut tower brace by Hotchkis.
Welcome to the youthful world of Scion (pronounced Sigh-on), Toyota's new brand where affordable small cars aren't meant to be boring.
Indeed, with a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination charge, of $12,965, the five-passenger, five-door xA comes with some notable standard features, too.
These include cargo area cover, a Pioneer, 160-watt sound system with AM/FM radio as well as CD player that's MP3-capable, four-wheel antilock brakes with Electronic Brake Distribution, air conditioning and three complimentary oil changes.
Toyota brought the Scion's current two models - the xA and xB - from Japan to California last summer in launching the Scion brand. Scions now are sold in more than 20 states and the District of Columbia, with full nationwide sales set for this summer.
Available at Toyota dealerships, the Scions don't wear a Toyota badge and are required to be in a dedicated show floor area, not mixed in with the Toyota-badged vehicles.
With distinctive - some might call it "unusual" - styling, the Scions are intended to attract the youngest car buyers - a far cry from the average Toyota buyer whose age is in the high 40s.
So far, Scion buyers have a median age of 36, according to spokeswoman Ming-Jou Chen.
Some 75 percent of Scion buyers have been new to Toyota, and median income is about $63,000, Chen said. Fewer than half are college graduates, and 49 percent are married.
Sales have been modest, but are building as new states begin Scion sales.
In the world of little cars sold in the United States, the 12.8-foot-long xA ranks third in overall length, after BMW's 11.9-foot-long, four-passenger, three-door Mini Cooper hatchback and Chevrolet's 12.7-foot-long, five-passenger, five-door Aveo hatchback.
The Aveo is the lowest-priced small car in America, with a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $9,995 without air conditioning, while the Mini is sold as a premium, retro vehicle starting at $16,999 with air conditioning.
The front-drive xA, especially with front tower brace that was on the test car, can feel like a zippy transporter, though body rigidity and ride stiffness is not as noticeable as it is in the sporty Mini.
There's the typical buzzy, four-cylinder sound, and the xA's 108-horsepower, 1.5-liter, double overhead cam powerplant is also used in the lighter-weight Toyota Echo sedan.
This engine can sound and feel taxed at times, such as when I was passing other cars on a hilly highway ascent. The xA, with just me as the only passenger, worked well for a good bit. But then I did a good amount of downshifting to keep my momentum.
Torque is 105 foot-pounds at 4,200 rpm, and the engine, with Toyota's variable valve timing system, revs high.
By comparison the Aveo's 103-horsepower, 1.6-liter four cylinder produces up to 107 foot-pounds of torque at 3,600 rpm. The base Mini's 115-horsepower, 1.6-liter, naturally aspirated four cylinder generates a peak 110 foot-pounds of torque.
But note the base xA's 2,340-pound weight is 19 pounds less than the Aveo hatchback and nearly 200 pounds less than a Mini. The Echo, meantime, weighs just over 2,000 pounds.
The gearshifter for the five-speed manual in the xA tester was a straight stalk whose top reminded me of the handle of a folded, compact umbrella. It's not the most attractive look, but it's different.
I just wish the shifter in the test car hadn't made such a cheap-sounding racket as I shifted. Every shift throw was accompanied by a loud notchy and rattle sound.
Fuel economy is noteworthy, with both manual-transmission and optional, $800 four-speed automatic models rated at 32 miles a gallon in city driving and 38 mpg on the highway.
This compares with 27/36 mpg, respectively, for a manual transmission Aveo and 28/37 mpg, respectively, for a base Mini with manual transmission.
While I may not have had all the "oomph" to edge into every open space in traffic when I wanted, the nimble xA sure could nail the parallel parking spots easily. U-turns also were easy.
The ride isn't cushioned, but most road bumps are managed beneath the vehicle and don't bother passengers.
The xA's dashboard, with tachometer and speedometer centered in the car just below the windshield, has a rather plain, plastic look.
Eyes naturally fall to the eye-catching, silver-colored ventilation controls and the silver-colored, oval, dial-like control area for the audio system.
But it took some getting used to these audio controls, and I wished for an old-style knob for volume and tuning, which would have been more efficient.
Still, sounds came through strongly and with good depth.
The only problem: I found myself increasing the volume to overcome road and engine noise on every drive.
The front fabric bucket seats in the xA have good support and don't look or feel cheap.
The xA is tall - 60.2 inches in height - so all riders, even those in the back seat, sit mostly upright and have good outside views.
The height also accounts for the generous 41.3 inches of front legroom and the 37.6 inches of rear legroom in the xA.
Note that xA's rear legroom is more than the Aveo's and the Mini's respective legrooms, and even more than some larger cars', such as the Dodge Neon (34.8 inches) and the Honda Civic sedan (36 inches).
Not surprisingly, headroom also is good in this kind of vehicle. The 39.6 inches in front and 38.8 inches in back tops the headroom in the Aveo and Mini as well as the headroom in the larger Civic.
I liked that the floor in the xA's back seat had just a minor hump, but three adults would sit real close.
Thanks to rear windows in the small, 11.7-cubic-foot cargo area, the view out to the rear and side of the xA is commendable. And the cargo space can expand to 32.8 cubic feet when the split rear seats are folded down flat. If more room is needed, the xA has an optional roof rack available.
I just wish the ceiling covering in the xA didn't remind me so much of the coarse material that often lines car trunks.
Map pockets on the xA's front doors are narrow, unable to hold much.
The federal government has yet to report crash test ratings for the xA, but standard safety equipment includes frontal airbags and three-point belts and adjustable and lockable head restraints for all five passengers.
Because the xA is a new model, Consumer Reports does not have a reliability rating.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports no safety recalls of the xA.

mesothelioma compensation is a byproduct of the skill of the mesothelioma lawyer, and our goal is the best possible compensation
(PRWEB) May 16, 2013
The Mesothelioma Victims Center is urging diagnosed victims of mesothelioma who retired from, or formerly worked at any type of manufacturing plant, or industrial facility in the 1950's, 1960's, 1970, or 1980's to call them immediately for the names, and instant contact information for the most experienced, and skilled mesothelioma lawyers, and law firms, because the compensation for these types of workers can frequently be over a million dollars. Why does the Mesothelioma Victims Center say retired, manufacturing, or industrial workers? The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "The average mesothelioma victim we hear from is typically in their late 60's, 70's, or even 80's. According to the CDC the average age for a diagnosed victim of mesothelioma in the United States is 72 years old. If diagnosed victim of mesothelioma worked at most types of industrial, or manufacturing facilities decades ago there is an extremely good chance they were exposed to asbestos on the job. While we cannot change the mesothelioma diagnosis for the victim, or their family members, we can suggest the best places to get treatment, and we are incredibly passionate about making certain a victim of mesothelioma, or their family members have on the spot access to the nation's most skilled, and capable mesothelioma lawyers, and law firms, because mesothelioma compensation is a byproduct of the skill of the mesothelioma lawyer, and our goal is the best possible compensation for all victims of mesothelioma, and their family members." For more information victims of mesothelioma, or their family member can call the Mesothelioma Victims Center anytime at 866-714-6466.
According to the Centers for Disease Control the states with the highest incidence of mesothelioma include Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New Jersey, Maine, and Wyoming. The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "We also believe Ohio, Indiana, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, Iowa, Virginia, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, California, Montana, North Dakota, Kansas, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Minnesota, New Mexico, and Alaska should be added to this list because four decades ago these states were hubs for manufacturing, industrial, or construction workplaces, where asbestos was present." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
Mesothelioma Victims Center #1 source Best Mesothelioma Victim's Financial Compensation
According to the US Centers for Disease Control, each year about one third of the approximately 2500 diagnosed US victims of mesothelioma served in the US Navy. Aside from US Navy Veterans, other high risk groups for mesothelioma cancer include shipyard, power plant, or oil refinery workers, almost any type of manufacturing worker, plumbers, electricians, defense contractor employees, county, or city municipal water district workers, construction workers, miners, demolition construction workers, nuclear power plant workers, chemical manufacturing facility workers, railroad repair yard workers, or auto brake technicians. These types of workers are all at risk, because of exposure to asbestos at their workplace. The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "the thing we really want families to understand is mesothelioma cancer does not typically show up until the U.S. Navy Veteran, or US citizen is in their 60's, and more often than not their 70's, or 80's." Frequently mesothelioma is diagnosed three, four, or even five decades after the exposure to asbestos, and tragically, it comes out of the blue. If a victim of mesothelioma, or their family members are concerned about financial compensation for this rare form of cancer, or treatment options the Mesothelioma Victims Center wants them it call them anytime at 866-714-6466, for their on the spot services. http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com

Wild Blueberry Scones
(Adapted from Recipe for a Country Inn)
3 cups all-purpose four
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 cups wild blueberries, frozen (I did not use frozen wild blueberries)
3tablespoon heavy cream
1 tablespoon sanding (decorative) sugar (I used granulated sugar)
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with solid shortening.
2. Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a food processor. Add the butter in bits and process until crumbly. Turn the mixture into a large bowl, and stir in the buttermilk until just combined. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and fold in the frozen blueberries by hand. Divide the dough in half and form each half into a ball. Press the balls out to form 8-inch circles. Cut each circle into twelve wedges. Brush the tops with a little heavy cream, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden. Cool slightly on wire racks.
Note: Using frozen blueberries prevent the berries from "bleeding" and turning the dough blue.
I did not use frozen blueberries, I used fresh and was just careful folding the blueberries in; this worked just fine.

The arraignment of Patricia Ann Collins of Richmond Hill on vehicluar homicide and other charges was postponed until Jan. 14 by Chatham County Superior Court Judge Timothy R. Walmsley on Monday.
Collins was driving her Toyota Corolla the wrong direction on Interstate 95 on June 15 when she crashed head-on into Bryan County Sheriff's Sgt. Robert Warren "Bobby" Crapse near mile marker 96 in Chatham County according to the Georgia State Patrol. Crapse was killed in the collision.
Currently, Collins, 23, remains largely confined to a wheelchair and is under house arrest as a condition of her $25,000 bond.
Her attorney, Steven Beauvais, asked for a continuance Monday, informing the judge that both medical and practical reasons were in play.
Walmsley granted the continuance but instructed Beauvais and Assistant District Attorney Jenny Guyer to discuss a scheduling order for the case. Failing that, Walmsley said he would craft a standard scheduling order.
The Chatham County grand jury indicted Collins on vehicular homicide, driving under the influence by driving "within three hours of the time when (Collins')" alcohol consumption was .08 or more.
A GSP report showed Collins's blood-alcohol level was .139 after the crash. It is illegal to drive in Georgia with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or greater.
Crapse, who lived in Ellabell and had been working traffic control in south Bryan County, was headed to the north end of the county when the crash occurred.

Call FMC, they should give you the protocol and the reference for sequencing from Sea-Plaque agarose. It is a rather obscure publication, but the idea is to cut out a band from this low-gelling temp. agarose, melt it, dilute and introduce into a cycle sequencing reaction. You should have an idea which volume of agarose contains 25-50 pmol of your fragment. That's it. I hope this helps,
