Dr Gillian Hendy is developing a novel material for tissue engineering which can speed up recovery after a nerve injury.
Supported by COMET, an EU-funded research project, she has already tested various biodegradable materials which could be used as implants to help severely injured nerves regenerate fast enough to prevent muscle atrophy.
The project's findings could contribute to developing new treatments not only for people threatened with limb amputations, but also for patients suffering from Alzheimer and Parkinson.

Sacked Eels signed long-term stadium switch
Parramatta's former board agreed to a long-term contract with ANZ Stadium in the week after the club was slapped with its salary cap breach notice.
Chris Barrett is a Sports Writer with The Sydney Morning Herald.
Parramatta's former board agreed to a long-term contract with ANZ Stadium in the week after the club was slapped with its salary cap breach notice.
Robbie Farah will escape sanction for his post-game criticism of Jason Taylor after being dropped from the club's first-grade side as the Wests Tigers coach admitted on Friday he felt empathy for the veteran representative hooker.
The Rabbitohs' predicament is not what the Englishman expected when he returned from rugby.
Ricky Stuart's team is forcing many to stake notice and direct their attention down the Hume Highway.
Parramatta are expected to escalate their pursuit of Jarryd Hayne after it emerged Corey Norman was on the brink of agreeing to a new three-year contract with the Eels and rejecting an offer from St George Illawarra.
The Cronulla Sharks' bid to play a home final at Southern Cross Group Stadium has been knocked on the head before it even gathered momentum with the NRL denying the club's formal application.
Wests Tigers chief executive Justin Pascoe says the club will this week examine comments made by Robbie Farah in which he took aim at coach Jason Taylor for dumping him from the NRL side.
Thanks to an unhealthy cocktail of injuries, off-field issues, innuendo and, most recently, some impotent defence, Michael Maguire's men haven't won for two months.
Parramatta's Corey Norman has been suspended for the rest of the season and fined $20,000 by the NRL.
The sacking of Parramatta's directors is expected to be formalised at a board meeting of the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority on Tuesday.

Ice skating's double champ
Relevant offers
Less than two years ago Michael Durham swapped his running shoes and basketball for ice skates.
Now the 14-year-old is carving up the ice taking out the national intermediate figure skating champion titles in both New Zealand and Australia.
His win at the Australian Figure Skating Championships was a surprise for Durham despite going into the competition with the New Zealand title under his belt.
At the championships skaters are judged on skill, balance and technique as they perform their manoeuvres on the ice.
The Hillsborough resident has stormed his way up through three categories in less than 12 months to compete at intermediate level.
"I've just come through the ranks really fast and haven't really had a chance to take it all in yet."
The sport seems an unusual choice for the former Auckland under-15s basketballer to pick but Durham was hooked from the moment he stepped on to the ice.
"I liked watching it because of its fluid motions and it looks cool with the spinning jumps.
"It's a lot harder than it looks but I wasn't scared - I just did things over and over and over until I got it."
Durham's dedication and natural sports talent has seen him represent New Zealand in athletics and take up waterpolo, football and the Japanese martial art of aikido.
Some of his friends support him with figure skating but it's not something the Lynfield College student talks about with them very much, he says.
It takes a lot of dedication to take to the ice before dawn six days a week.
"You need to train really hard every day for as long as you can and as hard as you can to get anywhere," he says.
"I really like it so I don't mind the sacrifices."
Durham's coach Rosie Armstrong has not seen a skater progress so quickly in her 19 years as a coach.
"It's pretty exciting from a coach's point of view. I would really like to help him get ready for the higher international level now."
Figure skating has rapidly grown in popularity over the past few years thanks to improved ice skating rinks and more leading coaches coming to New Zealand.
A greater appreciation of the high skill level required is also helping to produce more male skaters, Armstrong says.
"You've got to be pretty tough and gritty. It's all about technical ability, athleticism and strength."
Durham hopes to compete at the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships and one day make the leap to Canada to skate professionally.

Retired computer consultant. Not totally happy with our present administration.
Author of historical and science fiction novels.
Author page at http://asmwizard.com/home/my-published-works/
To correct Lincoln somewhat, he should have said, . . . that government of the people, by the politicians, and for the politicians shall not perish from the earth.
Government's view of the economy: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. — Ronald Reagan
In the United States, the majority undertakes to supply a multitude of ready-made opinions for the use of individuals, who are thus relieved from the necessity of forming opinions of their own.
-- Alexis de Toqueville
Can you imagine life without the IRS? No federal income tax, for example. If you're one of the shrinking bunch who actually works for a living, you would get to take home all the money you earn (except for state & local taxes; we wouldn't have the payroll tax -- the bite for Medicare & Social Security.) You wouldn't have that complicated tax form to file. You wouldn't have to worry about deductions.
More benefits: the government would have one less huge weapon to use against its political opponents. No more tax audits. There would be no more need to classify organizations as profit or non-profit. There would be no leftist ranting about how the rich need their taxes raised, or how "unfair" the tax code is. The government wouldn't have to know how much you earn, or what deductions you take.
People would be a great deal more honest – no need to cheat. Even Congress would get more work done, because they wouldn't have to keep modifying the tens of thousands of pages in the tax code.
Businesses would have much less regulation to worry about.
Of course, every silver cloud has a dark lining: there would be fewer lawyers, accountants, and tax services making a living by charging money to fill out your tax forms. But I can live with that.
Here's how: there are various versions, but this is the one which has been most seriously analyzed: (link): The Fair Tax. It really is fair to tax spending, if necessities aren't taxed. Rich people spend much more than the truly poor, so they would pay the bulk of the taxes. Here's an intelligent analysis of it from 2008, when Mike Huckabee advocated it (he still does.)
(link):Huckabee's fair tax plan is brilliant.
If it came into existence, the Fair Tax would seem tough at first, but the economy would adjust. People would get used to it.
The alternative plan which many favor is the flat tax – which is still an income tax, but is much simpler. That's a different discussion. I'm for that too, if it comes with a VAT tax, because I believe that taxing consumption (commonly known as spending) is the only fair way to tax.
There are cons as well as pros to the Fair Tax plan; here's a (link):Analysis of the Fair Tax which lays out the pros and cons very well.
I personally don't like some details of the plan. I don't like the idea of paying poor people a "prebate" to cover necessities. The government should never pay people for anything. It's a license to steal. The plan says, the sales tax would not apply to imports, goods used by businesses to produce other goods, or used goods. I'm iffy about exempting business. It should apply to imports, high-ticket used goods, and perhaps businesses should not have to pay it for their purchases. I'll discuss my reservations and the changes I'd make in the next post.
The IRS has become a weapon of the Obama administration, and is feared by its political opponents. But even the left should like to see it eliminated, if nothing else because Republicans may win the White House some day, and what goes around, comes around. When the Republican IRS goes into action, who knows what rocks they'll turn over when they investigate the heck out of Democrats? Let's make government impartial again, or better yet, eliminate the IRS altogether.

Woman gets jail for fraud chargesOctober 11,2012Woman gets jail
on fraud counts
A Hubbardton woman was sentenced to 21 months in jail for defrauding Vermont corporations, banks and residents of more than $70,000 so she could buy horses.
Ruth Tucker, 66, formerly of Randolph Center, was indicted by a federal grand jury on July 15, 2010 for bank fraud and then again in October of that year for wire fraud.
According to court records, in 2009, Tucker got loans totaling $55,000 from the Community Capital of Vermont and the Addison County Development Corporation so she could re-establish her small business and to hire Vermonters.
Instead, she used the funds to buy registered Morgan horses and to pay for their training and board as well as other horse-related expenses, according to federal prosecutors in Vermont.
The U.S. attorneys office said Tucker also defrauded Peoples United Bank (formerly the Chittenden Bank) and KeyBank by writing large checks on accounts with insufficient balances, to the tune of $18,000, also for horse-related items.
And she wrote bad checks to local individuals and businesses who also suffered losses, prosecutors said.
Tucker was arrested by the U.S. Secret Service in August 2010 and pleaded guilty to an indictment in June 2011.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

In this review essay, Mark Brenneman and Frank Margonis address three recent book-length contributions to the ongoing discussion around cosmopolitanism and educational thought: Mark Olssen's Liberalism, Neoliberalism, Social Democracy: Thin Communitarian Perspectives on Political Philosophy and Education, Sharon Todd's Toward an Imperfect Education: Facing Humanity, Rethinking Cosmopolitanism, and Ilan Gur-Ze'ev's Beyond the Modern-Postmodern Struggle in Education: Toward Counter-Education and Enduring Improvisation. Brenneman and Margonis argue that these contributions exhibit a marked disenchantment with Enlightenment conceptions of human possibilities as these inform concrete recommendations in the field of the philosophy of education. All three books call for a rethinking of modernist categories in educational thought, a call that is supported by the authors' respective distrust and ultimate disenchantment with the residual presence of ideas of human perfectibility harbored in the philosophical categories that animate discussions in multicultural, liberal, neoliberal, and postmodern educational discussion. Brenneman and Margonis argue that each of these books theorizes from its own respective regionally specific circumstances, and they therefore prove valuable to philosophers of education who struggle toward their own local responses to human difference and the pedagogical possibilities of educational relations.

We stayed for one night the room was OK unfortunately we didn't get sea view from the room but the outside terrace was good, with great views.
I would recommend booking car park space as not many spaces and well worth the £5 .

I booked great western hotel for my birthday as a small get away for two nights.
Upon arrival we were delighted with the location of the hotel, as it sat on a hill top overlooking a stunning beach. When in reception booking in I found out we had been upgraded to a room with a view overlooking the bay because it was my birthday, and when arriving in the room found balloons and a birthday card, which is above and beyond my expectations. The staff were very friendly and hospitable, we loved it so much that the morning we were due to check out and go home we ended up booking for another night and staying again. Highly recommend!

I mean, if u really claim that u love the sport of boxing, u cant compare all the ATG fighters with Sergio martinez because they fight totally differnt, u can like him or not but u need to respect him, and the reason of his succes is his STYLE.
If you ever box( amateur or profesional) u know for a fact that, the unorthodox style of a figher like sergio martinez is one of the hardest to deal with, and the same goes with pacquiao, calzaghe etc. because 99 percent of the times u box(in the gym or in a fight) u will always deal with the same orthodox style and never ever see a boxer like sergio
I mean, sergio is a southpaw, comes with his hands dow,has good hand speed,most of the times he counters with a jab, use well angles, good head movment, very akward, i mean if i tell u the truth is hard to describe his style and on top of that he is a great athlete, with strong mentality.
All this things is what makes Sergio Martinez so successful,u can hate it or love it, but to say that he is unprofesional? thats bullsshhit! The guy took boxing with 20 years old... he may not be flashy and a great technician like sugar ray leonard was,but he's gonna put a beating on that kid. MARK MY WORDS!

The suggestion of a substance antagonistic to interferon has been substantiated by Chany and Brailovsky.1 They have offered the first evidence that a reverse phenomenon of the interference factor exists as a stimulating interaction between different viruses, a concept defined as follows: "when two or more antigenically related or unrelated viruses infect the same cell in a certain chronological order, the inducing agent stimulates the multiplication of the challenge virus." Since adenovirus 12 and Kilham's rat virus do not produce significant amounts of interferon in rat cells, they were used in the study of this hypothetical antagonistic factor. Simultaneous infection of embryonic fibroblasts with each virus increased the virulence of the rat virus for rat embryonic cells.
The cytopathic effect of rat virus appeared earlier in cells doubly infected and was not observed in cells infected with adenovirus alone. In consecutive experiments, the enhancement was preceded by a zone

Woman shares newspaper chronicling the day Lincoln died
Published: Friday, February 13, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 12, 2009 at 10:23 p.m.
Jeanne Zebrowski wants her fellow residents at Lake Pointe Landing to remember the anniversary of President Abraham Lincolns 200th birthday.
Staff at the assisted living center have hung up a copy of the New York Herald newspaper from the day Lincoln was assassinated in the lobby. Old and weathered, the newspaper informed the country about the presidents untimely death and has been in Zebrowskis family for generations.
My great-great grandfather had the wisdom to save it, she said.
She said she was happy to let the facility hang the newspaper. It lets other people experience a piece of history.
Historically is really the only value I give it, Zebrowski said. But she added, I imagine it has some value monetarily.
She has only seen one other copy of the newspaper. Years ago, she saw the same newspaper in an antique shop in Hendersonville.
Zebrowski, 84, taught school in the New York City area before retiring to Laurel Park in the early 1980s. She took the newspaper to class once, wanting the students to better understand history.
Of course it broke, Zebrowski said. I was told it would have to be vacuum sealed and have the air removed.
The newspaper sits in the same frame to this day. But before it was permanently framed, Zebrowski used to take the paper out of the previous frame when she was younger,.
Its the whole newspaper, Zebrowski said. I remember my mother let me turn the pages.
Zebrowski is an admirer of Lincoln. Besides the newspaper, she has a portrait of the president in her room. She hopes others will learn something from the newspaper being displayed, but she has no idea how long it would be up.
I thought it was an interesting idea, she said.

An arrest warrant has been issued for 31-year-old Jerome Linzy Hopkins for the {A href="http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Father-of-murder-victim-No-parent-should-have-to-bury-their-child-209105981.html"}killing of Lonnie Reynolds, who police say was an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire of a gun battle last week at Liberty Park.
Reynolds had just moved back to Renton after spending several months in Houston for a job. She had been home for a week when she came to the park with friends on the evening of May 22.
Two women Reynolds wasn't associated with got into a fist fight at the park, and soon two of their male friends pulled out guns and started shooting, according to police. Reynolds was caught in the crossfire and was shot once in the abdomen.
Hopkins stands 6-feet tall and weighs 305 pounds. Police say he is also known to go by the name "CJ."
Hopkins is associated with a dark colored 2002 BMW 745 4-door with Washington license plate number AIT0364. He may also have access to a red 2005 Suzuki GSX R60 with Washington license plate number 972478.
Police say Hopkins should be considered armed and dangerous.

Research Assistant Professor
Phone: 412-624-0465
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Dr. Zhao earned his M.D. at the Hunan Medical University, China in 1986 followed by receiving his M.S. in Clinical Pharmacology from the same university. After completing his post-doctoral training at the Department of Clinical Pharmacology, International Medical Center of Japan, he became a recipient of the Merck Sharp & Dohme international fellowship in clinical pharmacology and moved to the Indiana University School of Medicine in 1998, under the mentorship of Dr. Craig Brater. After the 2-year training in the Division of Clinical Pharmacology Dr. Zhao took another research fellowship in the Gene Therapy Program of the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC) before relocated, with Dr. Jay Kolls, to the Division of Pulmonary Medicine, Allergy, and Immunology, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh in 2003, where he served as a research associate and a research assistant professor. In December of 2008, Dr. Zhao became a faculty member at the HVBRI.
Dr. Zhao has broad research interests that include gene and protein expression regulation by acute and chronic ethanol both in monocytes/macrophages and in mice, signal transduction via reactive oxygen species (ROS) and transcription factors including NFκB, AP-1 and IRF-3. He also worked on bone marrow transplantation, lentiviral transduction of human and rodent cells with a particular interest in epigenetic regulation of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production in human Mono Mac 6 cells and in bone marrow-derived macrophages, in addition to drug metabolism by cytochrome P450.
Dr. Zhao currently focuses on the production and regulation of nitrite by ceruloplasmin, a nitric oxide (NO) oxidase, in macrophages, as well as the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in this process.

Launched in 2011 as the hardware vanguard for Siri, the iPhone 4s was a big software leap for Apple. But iOS 10, which even focused on making Siri better than ever before, will not work on the iPhone 4s. Sad! Read more...
The latest iOS version will not be available to current users of iPhone 4S.
Apple's latest iOS 10 will not support iPhone 4S, which has been supported form iOS 5 all the way to iOS 9.
Support list now requires iThings made in 2012 or later.
Five years after Siri launched with iPhone 4S, Apple is reportedly preparing to open its virtual assistant platform up to third-party developers through a dedicated SDK, and might dive deeper into AI services by embedding the technology into a speaker type device similar to Amazon's Echo.
Though #ShotOniPhone6s might be the current rage, iPhone has been taking amazing photos for years. You might recognize Lisa Bettany from her ridiculously great Instagram account, or her famous app, Camera+. Either way, she's done a lot to both show and help the state of the art of photography on iPhone. Show More Summary
A few years ago, I set off on an incredible around the world adventure attempting to capture 15 countries with my iPhone 4S and my app, Camera+. I never got around to sharing all the behind the scenes videos, so I thought I would start now despite the slightly datedness of using an "ancient" iPhone model. Show More Summary
From iPhone 4 and beyond, I've never skipped out on buying a flagship iPhone. The white AT&T iPhone 4 in May 2011 was my first model, then iPhone 4s in November a month after its launch. Starting with iPhone 5, I've bought every flagship...Show More Summary
Apple reportedly plans to shake up the materials used for the iPhone in 2017, abandoning the aluminum casing it has used for years and returning to the glass chassis championed with the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s.
I remember using Glooko way back when I had the old iPhone 4s cable (I actually found it in one of my supply boxes yesterday) that connected to my freestyle meter. I honestly don't know how long I've had that account, but I'm glad that I do. When I first had my t:slim, Glooko and […]
Most of us upgrade our phones once every two years, if not earlier. But what if you bought an iPhone 4S or a Samsung Galaxy S II all the way back in 2011 and were so happy with it that you decided to keep it as your primary device for...Show More Summary
Ever since Apple introduced Siri voice control in the iPhone 4S, Mac users have been wondering: when's our turn? Well, that day might finally be near. Sources for 9to5Mac claim that Siri will be a "tentpole" feature of OS X 10.12, which is expected to show at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (usually in June) and release a few months later. Show More Summary
Apple has stopped selling to iPhone 4s and 5c models to customers in India, The Economic Times reports. The move essentially doubles the price of an entry-level iPhone in the country, from the 12,000 rupees charged for the iPhone 4s to 24,000 rupees for the iPhone 5s. Show More Summary
Apple is no longer offering the iPhone 4s and iPhone 5c in India. While the phones are past their prime, Apple has a strong brand presence in India, leading to healthy sales of older iPhones. The iPhone 4s was selling for as low as ?12,000 ($175), in direct competition to budget Android handsets from local vendors. Show More Summary
After slashing the price of iPhone 5s in India last year, Apple has reportedly stopped selling entry-level iPhone 4s and iPhone 5c models in favor of a smartphone lineup more closely aligned with mature markets.
As Apple continues to look to India as a market for extraordinary growth, it has now stopped selling the iPhone 4s and iPhone 5c in the country in an effort to raise the average selling prices of its devices and increase profits. The Economic Times reports that Apple made the decision due to its profitability and average […]
My absolute favorite version of the iPhone has always been the iPhone 4s. From a everyday use perspective, the glass that made up the back was totally impractical (I can't tell you how many times I've seen busted backs on iPhone 4s's), but it added to the overall aesthetic of this device. Show More Summary
Are you still running an older version of iOS on your iPhone 4s or iPhone 5 because you're worried that the newer release will make your device slower? The latest iOS 9.2.1 update may be just what you've been waiting for.
Apple said that iOS 9 will bring performance improvements to all iOS devices, including older models that were slowed down by the iOS 8 update. However, when all said and done, it turned out that iOS 9 wasn't able to dramatically increase overall speed, no matter how much optimization it underwent. Show More Summary
Some informal testing reveals that if you're still rocking an old iPhone, you should probably upgrade to iOS 9.2.1. The good people at iApple Bytes put three different models of iPhones (4S, 5, and 5S) up against each other in a variety of tests designed to see which of them was faster with starting up, […] (via Cult of Mac - Tech and culture through an Apple lens)

Five Favorite Films with Lawrence Kasdan
As any student of popular American cinema knows, the name Lawrence Kasdan is synonymous with some defining movie experiences among audiences of a certain age. One of Hollywood's hot young screenwriters in the '70s, Kasdan was enlisted by George Lucas to help pen The Empire Strikes Back, the film that -- along with the Kasdan co-written Return of the Jedi -- helped transform Star Wars from blockbuster movie into cultural myth. Soon after, Kasdan's second film as director, The Big Chill, effectively captured -- for better or worse -- the feelings (and musical tastes) of a generation of Baby Boomers entering thirtysomething adult life. And between those films, Kasdan's screenplay for Raiders of the Lost Ark was turned into another massive hit -- and enduring piece of movie iconography -- by Steven Spielberg. Kasdan returns after a lengthy hiatus with this week's Darling Companion, a comedy starring Kevin Kline and Diane Keaton about the search for a lost dog that brings on some typically Kasdan-esque moments of life assessment. We sat down for a chat with Kasdan earlier this week, in which he talked about his new film, his long collaboration with Kline, and his favorite memory writing on Empire. Read on for that, but first, he talks about his five favorite movies.Back to Article

Press Reviews for Antonio:
A potential pianistic messiah.
- Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Wayne Lee Gay
Antonio Pompa-Baldi is a dazzling piano virtuoso, a magnificent artist who demonstrated a deep maturity of expression. His recital was memorable: we heard an interpreter who has wonderful taste, astonishing memory, prodigious sense of color, formidable technique.
- Luis Enrique Julia, El Nuevo Dia. San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Pompa-Baldi went from strength to strength...with laserlike focus, lyrical poise wedded to blazing virtuosity.
- Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, Lawrence A Johnson
Pompa-Baldi assembled the intuitive genius and the science of imagination with the most inspired reflection, sustained by the strongest technical rigor.
- La Montagne, Clermont-Ferrand, France
Pompa-Baldi possesses a magical touch, rich in a thousand of nuances, a spectacular technique and an amazing finesse.
- La Provincia, Como, Italy, Maria Terraneo
Antonio Pompa-Baldi displayed his formidable gifts. Here was the real thing. Pompa-Baldi is a probing cultivated musician..He also has marvelous fingers that produced glittering passage-work...He tosses off the most difficult pianistic feats with great panache...he imbued every phrase with integrity, beauty and sincerity. He has an excellent sound, a natural rubato and had perfect control of each voice. He also had a wonderful balance of emotion and intellect.

"The square? I began with that in the 1950s. The square has always just been an equal-sided space that I could work with. Somehow it's become so natural to me that I just don't think of it any other way. It doesn't have the feeling of a landscape or some kind of window or doorway that we usually associate with rectangles. It's just a very neutral kind of space, and it seems to feel right to me because of my approach to painting."

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
One…two…three strikes, you're out — but not if you're a Black pitcher, according to a recent study.
Research scholars from four separate universities analyzed 3.5 million pitches thrown in Major League baseball games from 2004 to 2008 and concluded that Black and other minority pitchers get less strike calls than white pitchers.
To combat the foul bias, minority pitchers will compensate by throwing balls closer to the middle of the strike zone in order to get favorable calls, which hurts their overall performance because they are offering pitches that are much easier for batters to hit, the study reports. The study was first published in American Economic Review.
Baseball great Jackie Robinson may have broken the league's color barrier in 1947, becoming key to the desegregation of American sports, but the debate over the game's racist undertones has not seemed to fade over time.
