See the latest Pew Research Center reports and data on views toward abortion in the United States and around the world.
5 facts about abortion
Public opinion on abortion has held relatively steady over the years, with Americans roughly divided on the issue.
Where major religious groups stand on abortion
Abortion is still a difficult, contentious and even unresolved issue for some religious groups.
Public Opinion on Abortion
A series of graphics explores public opinion on abortion, illustrating how opinion differs among various demographic groups, including religious, political, age and gender groups.
On abortion, persistent divides between – and within – the two parties
As Americans await a decision in the Supreme Court's first abortion case in years, a slim majority (56%) now think abortion should be legal in all or most cases. About four-in-ten (41%) say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases. The balance of opinion on this issue has ticked back toward support for […]
How abortion is regulated around the world
The regulation of abortion may vary widely from country to country, but nearly all nations – 96% – allow women to terminate their pregnancies in order to save their lives.
Worldwide Abortion Policies
Analysis of United Nations data shows only six of 196 countries do not allow women to receive abortions under any circumstances.
Most Say Budget Deal Must Include Planned Parenthood Funding
Six-in-ten Americans say any budget deal must maintain funding for the organization. More would blame Republicans (40%) than Democrats (26%) if no deal is reached and the government shuts down.
What's a sin? Catholics don't always agree with their church
Almost nine-in-ten U.S. Catholics believe that some actions are offensive to God, but many American Catholics don't agree with church teachings on what constitutes sinful behavior.
10 facts about religion in America
It's a fascinating time for conversations about faith in the United States, with Pope Francis set to visit, a presidential election on the horizon and major trends reshaping the country's religious landscape.
Public Sees Religion's Influence Waning
Nearly three-quarters of Americans now think religion is losing influence in American life, and most who say this also see it as a bad thing. Perhaps as a consequence, a growing share of the public wants religion to play a role in U.S. politics.

Politics Payday Loans
posted by December 29 at 12:15 PMon
Newbie Stranger news writer Angela Valdez has a story this week on the latest PR move by Renton-based payday loans company MoneyTree. The new PR strategy? Hire a prominent black political consultant, George Griffin, to help spin. (The payday industry, obviously, is under attack from minority activists and politicians who claim payday loans target poor blacks and Hispanics.)
I was out with my friend Marco last night, and he had an honorable liberal idea about dealing with the necessity of payday loans. He thought local government should take over the industry by contracting out with a local bank to give loansusing city credit to underwrite the loan. His impulse was similar to the notion that government should legalize prostitution and drugs and manage those industries.
His thinking (I had had 3 whiskeys by then) went something like this: Banks obviously, don't give loans for rent and groceries. And certainly don't give loans like that to low-income people with shaky credit. But people do need to borrow money in those situations. Which is why MoneyTree is thriving with its 400% APR. The city could cap the interest rate at something reasonable, 10%, have eligibility requirements (requirements that would cater to low-income people with credit problems and prevent those who weren't really in need from tapping the program), and simultaneously connect the borrowers with social service programs (like money management classes) that may suss out or address the root cause of the borrower's desperate situation.
Obviously, co-opting the industry like this doesn't hit the deeper inequities of racism and capitalism (this is what I said on three whiskeys, anyway), but it is a way to stop the harsh usury, provide for people in need, and perhaps help them in the long term.

Mo. cop barred from owning gun fears for safety, fights back
Officer can't own gun where he lives because of a felony crime he committed as a juvenile
By Farrah Fazal
HILLSDALE, Mo. — A police officer in Hillsdale, Missouri can't get a license to own a gun in Illinois. He tried to apply several times but the state police told him he was ineligible because of his juvenile record.
Officer Jeremy Quate was charged with residential burglary in Belleville when he was 16. He said he stole stereos and old coins from neighbors. He got involved with the wrong crowd. A judge gave him probation and a shot at a clean record if he played by the rules. He said probation was his second chance.
The State of Illinois, where the officer lives, won't give him a FOID card because of that felony burglary arrest. A spokeswoman for Illinois State Police told us she's not able to talk about FOID card applicants. She said Quate didn't pass a background check. You can't pass one if you have a felony. Quate said his service weapon makes him a target out of uniform. He wants a second gun to protect his wife and children on his home turf.

Disneyland 2016 Trip Planning Guide
This post is a guide for planning your 2016 visit to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Here we cover tips and tricks for experiencing Disneyland's 60th Anniversary, Cars Land, and Star Wars Season of the Force. Plus, making the most of your time there, what to expect this summer (including FastPass+), and navigating Disneyland during the extensive park-wide refurbishments while Star Wars Land is built.
Despite the construction, we think 2016 is still a good time to visit Disneyland. There are new and refreshed attractions, plus Diamond Celebration remains ongoing but its crowds have gone down (slightly) since the madness when it first debuted last summer. We cover all of that in detail in our Ultimate Guide to the Disneyland 60th Anniversary Diamond Celebration (click that to open it in a new tab so you can read it after this–all links in this post open in new tabs–you'll definitely need a plan for the Diamond Celebration). There are other reasons why, and we'll get to those, as well.
If you want an overview of the parks, hotels, and other info, we highly recommend that you order a free copy of the 2016 Disney Parks Vacation Planning DVD. That free DVD covers all of that with fun footage from Disneyland. It's really helpful to give you a visual feel for the layout of Disneyland Resort. Plus, it's just a nice, free keepsake to have. Even though we're locals, we order it every year!
We first posted this guide a few years ago when Disney California Adventure had its big reboot, and have updated it multiple times per year since (last update: June 27, 2016). We have received messages from a lot of people who had great trips thanks to our recommendations, and this guide has been refined based upon numerous visits to Disneyland through May 2016. We are Disneyland locals, so we get to the parks regularly to tweak and refine our tips to provide you the best info and strategies.
Despite there only being two parks at Disneyland Resort, there's a lot to know. It may seem silly to point this out, but this planning guide applies to the Disneyland Resort in California. If you are visiting Florida, please consult our Walt Disney World Trip Planning Guide.
Disneyland Resort has been on a roll as of late, expanding upon the success of its big recent addition: Cars Land. Disneyland Resort's "Diamond Anniversary" is now underway and will continue through September 5, 2016. This includes the new Disney Paint the Night parade, Disneyland Forever fireworks, World of Color: Celebrate, Hatbox Ghost in the Haunted Mansion, Re-Imagined Matterhorn, Re-Imagined Peter Pan's Flight, and more. If your heart sank because you're planning a visit after September 2016, don't fret: there's a 99% chance Paint the Night Parade and the Disneyland Forever fireworks (the best parts of the 60th Celebration) continue for several years.
All of that (or at least most of it) is awesome, and Disneyland & Disney California Adventure are really firing on all cylinders right now. However, you might be wondering whether 2016 is a good time to visit given the construction for Star Wars Land. We'll answer that question at the end of this post for those of you who are on the fence. If you've already decided now is the best time, we'll start by providing all the resources you'll need to plan your Disneyland Resort trip, including when to visit, where to stay, what to do, and much more!
Disneyland Trip Planning Resources
If you've already made up your mind that now is the time to go to Disneyland and are digging into planning, here are our posts that you need to read when preparing for your Disneyland vacation. Think of them as like the 10 steps to follow to plan your Disneyland trip. If you are trying to decide whether you should visit Disneyland in 2016, jump down to the section below titled "Should You Visit Disneyland in 2016?"
These posts will take you through the planning process to make your visit to Disneyland more enjoyable, helping you save time and money. Armed with knowledge (the most powerful weapon!), you will have a much better vacation. Yeah, it's going to take a couple of hours to read this stuff so you know the basics for visiting, but that pales in comparison to the time you'll needlessly waste in lines if you go blindly, without doing your homework.
Each link will open in a new tab, so feel free to click away and go down the rabbit hole of Disneyland trip planning.
1. Saving Money on Disneyland Tickets – Our recommendations on what type of Disneyland tickets you should buy, including how many days, whether you should get Park Hopper, and where you can buy Disneyland tickets to save some money!
2. Disneyland Restaurant Reviews – The stereotype that all Disney food is unhealthy food like burgers and hot dogs is entirely false. Disneyland has inexpensive unique dining options as well as expensive fine dining. Good dining can help define a trip! Read about which restaurants are best in our dining reviews.
3. What Time of Year to Visit to Avoid Crowds – The single most important part of planning a trip to Disneyland is determining when to visit to avoid crowds. Disneyland is busiest when school is out of session, so those are the biggest times to avoid. Learn what times to visit in this post!
4. Rankings & Reviews of the Best & Worst Hotels Near Disneyland – Depending upon where you stay, your hotel room could be the costliest aspect of your trip. This post ranks 25+ hotels near Disneyland at which we have stayed, along with room photos, pros & cons, and other useful information. In our Where to Stay at Disneyland: Off-Site v. On-Site post, we also cover why "on-site" hotels are not as important at Disneyland as they are at Walt Disney World, and how to score a close hotel for $50/night!
5. Ultimate Guide to Disneyland at Christmas – There are a lot of great times of year to visit Disneyland, but our favorite time of year is Christmas-time at Disneyland. The decorations are beautiful, the spirit is festive, and there are some fun attraction overlays and seasonal foods to enjoy. It's also one of the busiest times of year and there's a lot to see and do, so read this to prepare. If Christmas isn't your thing, consider Halloween Time at Disneyland, and check out our Ultimate Guide to Disneyland at Halloween for assistance planning a trip during that specific time of year.
6. Disneyland Ride Guide – Disneyland has a ton of attractions, and a lot of visitors only have a day or two to spend at Disneyland. The article reviews every attraction at Disneyland, giving each a numerical score out of 10, plus highlights key attractions that we consider the best ones, which should be prioritized if you have limited time at Disneyland. We also have a Disney California Adventure Ride Guide, which does the same thing for that park. Cars Land is the obvious top priority, and if you want to get the most mileage out of it, check out our Cars Land Tips & Tricks post, too.
7. What to Pack – Packing for Disneyland is comparable to packing for any vacation, but with a few twists. Here's our list of "unordinary" items to pack that will help enhance your Disneyland trip!
8. Disneyland Discount Guide – There are a variety of ways you can save money on a trip to Disneyland. From vacation packages to Costco discounts to off-season percentage off discounts to even discounts for military personnel, this page covers every way you might be able to save money on a trip to Disneyland!
9. Disneyland Transportation – Should you fly or drive to Disneyland? Rent a car or rely on your feet for getting around Disneyland? Use Uber to get around Anaheim, Orange County, and Los Angeles? We answer these questions and provide advice for saving money on transportation to (and around) Disneyland Resort!
10. Disneyland 1-Day Recommended Itinerary – Only have one day to visit Disneyland? This is a step-by-step plan of attack for which attractions you should do, where you should eat, what to see, and more. Likewise, we also have a Disney California Adventure 1-Day Itinerary if you're trying to do that park in a single day.
Although this one isn't necessary for planning a trip to Disneyland, we highly recommend you read our 101 Great Disneyland Tips post. A lot of these are more obscure and great little things that will help you visit the parks like a local. This is more granular advice than what you'll find in our other planning articles, but we've had a lot of positive feedback from readers who really got a lot more out of their trips because of those tips.
Since we receive a lot of questions about Disney photography (all of the photos on this page and every other page on this site were taken by me), you might also want to check out our Disney Parks Ultimate Photography Guide for tips on taking better photos in the parks, and cameras and equipment recommendations!
That should about cover what you need to know if you're thinking about visiting Disneyland Resort this coming year. We can't encourage people enough to give Disneyland a try, especially Disney fans who are biased towards Walt Disney World as their "home" park. Disneyland is a totally different, much more relaxed experience. It's intimate in both size and feel, and is oozing with history and incredible attractions.
If you want to determine whether you should visit Disneyland in 2016, keep reading…
Should You Visit Disneyland in 2016?
Even before you dig into those planning posts to which we've linked above, the threshold question for you might be whether 2016 is a good year to visit? If you're planning a once in a lifetime vacation or are trying to decide among 2016, 2017, or 2018 (or beyond), you want to pick the optimal time to go.
Let's start with the upside of the here and now. Disneyland Resort began to shine as a bona fide tourist destination more recently when the billion dollar plus make-over of Disney California Adventure was completed, with Cars Land and Buena Vista Street both opening. You can read our full review of Disney California Adventure 2.0 here, but suffice to say, it is now an amazing theme park, and one of the best US Disney theme parks.
Following the Cars Land addition, Disneyland debuted Mickey and the Magical Map, an excellent stage show in Fantasyland. Other more recent additions have included World of Color – Winter Dreams and Viva Navidad for the Christmas season in Disney California Adventure. Late last year, the Season of the Force Star Wars event started with fun new additions like Hyperspace Mountain (but overall, we think the offerings are a bit uninspired and don't live up to what Star Wars could be–or will be when Star Wars Land opens). Then, there's the Diamond Celebration and the excellent new entertainment that debuted with that last year.
Then, there's the downside. In early January, most everything that goes on or around the Rivers of America, including Fantasmic and the Disneyland Railroad, closed for at least all of 2016. (There are also several large refurbishments at the beginning of the year.) Now, a lot of these attractions are "minor" things to the average first-timer (boats and that sort of thing), but Fantasmic is a big deal, and will be closed until early 2017. Even if you wouldn't do the smaller attractions, the Rivers of America adds substantial ambiance to the park and is a big loss for atmosphere.
This is occurring due to Star Wars Land construction. While Star Wars Land will mostly be built in a back corner of the park (replacing Big Thunder Ranch and other backstage stuff), it will also swallow some areas around the Rivers of America, and to allow for this, the railroad track needs to be shortened and other infrastructure changes need to be made.
May 2016 Update: At this point, we think all of the walls that are going up are now up, and the impact on guests is minimal. Fortunately, there aren't construction walls up all around the river, so aside from the closure of Big Thunder trail and a few walls by Hungry Bear Restaurant, this construction is mostly out of guest view.
All of the ground behind Disneyland is now cleared for Star Wars Land, and we last visited the park, there was a lot of construction equipment moving on the plot (the project is moving fairly quickly to meet a rumored December 2018 opening date). Above is a photo (click to view full-size) of the Star Wars Land plot taken from the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure. Aside from a few spots, this isn't noticeable in the park. Check out our Star Wars Land Construction Update for more info on the progress.
Suffice to say, Disneyland is looking better than expected. Despite there being construction walls and a lot of attractions down for refurbishment, it's the off-season, so crowds are non-existent, and there is a lot of alternate entertainment to enjoy during the refurbishment process. Disney is really making lemonade out of lemons in a variety of ways, and the guests really win as a result. Most important, the park is not a maze of construction walls as expected. To the contrary, the walled-off areas are minimal. This is significant in terms of ambiance, as it does not feel like an active construction zone, or anything remotely like one.
In terms of other news for those planning summer vacations to Disneyland, FastPass+ is on the way, and will be arriving soon. For a while, this was moving forward at a really fast pace, until all progress seemed to stop. We suspect that the original goal was to get it live in the couple of quiet weeks before summer break, but for whatever reason, that did not happen. As a result, we expect Disneyland to hold off on implementing FastPass+ until around mid-August 2016, when summer break begins to wind, but before the popular Halloween and Christmas seasons begin.
There will be a lot of tweaks for the Disneyland version of FastPass+. Rather than using the same advanced booking system as Walt Disney World, FastPass+ at Disneyland will be same-day bookings only (at least for now). All current FastPass attractions will be converted to FastPass+, as well as Pirates of the Caribbean, Matterhorn, and Haunted Mansion. You can also expect the system to be smartphone and/or ticket media based, as opposed to utilizing MagicBands. Given that Disneyland's guest demographics are very different than Walt Disney World, part of these are necessary changes for adapt FastPass+ to the park, and other changes result from learning what has and has not worked at Walt Disney World.
We will have more on FastPass+ at Disneyland as information is released, but for now, treat all of the above as unofficial rumors. While we are pretty certain that FastPass+ is coming to Disneyland in Fall 2016, everything is always subject to change until it actually happens…
We're also hearing some rumblings about new offerings this Halloween and Christmas season, but don't have anything concrete on that, yet. Given that the Diamond Celebration ends right before Halloween season typically starts, this would make complete sense. Check back for more info on that later.
So…should you wait to visit Disneyland? That depends upon how long you're willing to wait. Little is known about Star Wars Land as of right now because it's details are a closely guarded secret, but sources suggest this land is going to blow people away. If you're only ever visiting Disneyland once, it might make sense to wait until Star Wars Land is open–especially if there are big Star Wars fans in your party. A Christmas 2018 opening for Star Wars Land isn't out of the question, but a safer bet would be 2019 if you're planning a trip this far in advance.
That means potentially waiting 2+ years for a visit if you want to wait for Star Wars Land. That's a long time. If you have kids who are the "perfect" age for Disneyland right now, you might not want to wait. Heck, they'll be shaving/driving/twerking/graduating/retiring in the blink of an eye, so waiting might not be an option. Plus, that 2-year wait is until Star Wars Land first opens. It's going to be crazy-busy at least the first year it opens, so you may want to hold off visiting right away.
In other words, unless you are willing to play the (really) long game and visit near the end of the decade, we'd recommend going ahead and visiting in 2016. All of the upsides mentioned above make it a good time, and even in the downsides, there's upside. The construction for Star Wars Land is going to scare some people away in 2016, so in terms of attendance, this year will be relatively light year (emphasis on relatively–the parks will still be very busy, as they always are nowadays) as compared to Christmas 2018 when the parks get slammed by guests wanting to experience Star Wars Land. So that's another plus.
Should Walt Disney World Fans Visit?
If you're going to be a first-time visitor to Disneyland who randomly stumbled upon this article, you can skip the next section, as it's not for you. This is aimed at Walt Disney World diehards who read this blog but still think, "Disneyland? That cute little place out west? I think I'll stick to the big guns with Walt Disney World." For those casual, once in a lifetime visitors, we have a Walt Disney World v. Disneyland Resort post that should be helpful for determining which coast might be better for you. I would strongly suggest reading that before deciding one way or the other, as there are pros and cons for both Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
As for serious Disney fans, I know a lot of Walt Disney World fans never visit Disneyland Resort, basically, because it's smaller than Walt Disney World, not as isolated from the real world, and because it costs more to visit Disneyland. Likewise, a lot of non-fans who are considering a Disney trip as a once-in-a-lifetime, rite of passage trip for their kids default to Walt Disney World. This is understandable, but there is a case to be made for Disneyland, too.
For many fervent Walt Disney World fans, considering a Disneyland trip is tantamount to treason–like "cheating" on Walt Disney World with another park (which really makes no sense given that the same company owns both, but whatever…). Believe me, I've been there. Once upon a time, I was one of those Walt Disney World fans. These fans retort "where's your Westcot?!" when someone touts the number and quality of attractions in Disneyland. They point at the cheap hotels of Harbor Boulevard contaminating the "bubble" of Magic when someone points out the "blessing of size" of the smaller resort. You get the idea.
After truly falling in love with the original Disneyland and Disney California Adventure and feeling I really appreciate what makes the place special, I feel I can say with some authority that these Walt Disney World fans just "don't get it."
Yes, Disneyland does have two parks to Walt Disney World's four. No, Disneyland doesn't have any water parks. Yes, it only has three resort-hotels. Yeah, the real world does sort of encroach-upon Disneyland. These seem to be some pretty serious blows to Disneyland being a viable tourist destination. Despite all this, Disneyland is still amazing–a must visit place.
Why? First, the big reason: Disneyland is the original Magic Kingdom. It's the only park Walt Disney personally walked, and its history and historic detail is amazing. Anyone who fancies themselves a Disney history buff but has no desire to visit Disneyland doesn't really care that much about Disney history. The places literally oozes history. (Seriously, it's this green stuff that rises out of the ground in New Orleans Square. Don't tell Cal-OSHA!) Even if you don't care about history, there's a certain intimacy and charm to the place that no other Disney theme park in the world captures. It's not that the park is stuck in 1950 (not even remotely so), but it does have a certain quaintness about it that makes it really feel inviting.
On the topic of attractions, don't worry, because there's a ton of them (I feel like Stacey in the "Must Do Disney" video). Disneyland (the park) has a staggering attraction line-up, with almost every version of attractions that are offered in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland being substantially better in Disneyland.
Pirates of the Caribbean is longer. It's a small world has a beautiful outdoor facade and includes subtle and well done (that's right!) Disney characters. Indiana Jones Adventure puts the Animal Kingdom attraction with the same bloodlines to shame. The Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is far superior to the Epcot Finding Nemo attraction. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride still exists. Fantasyland has several cute dark rides that Walt Disney World doesn't have (Alice in Wonderland, Storybook Land Canal Boats, Casey Jr., etc.). These are just some examples; the full list goes on and on.
In all honesty, comparing Disneyland and Walt Disney World isn't that easy. It's like comparing two of your children. Yeah, in the back of your mind, you secretly prefer one over the other (kidding, parents), but it's a tough comparison because both have endearing qualities. Saying Walt Disney World is better than Disneyland due to the number of parks each has is about as arbitrary as saying your taller child is better than the shorter one. It reduces the comparison to simple terms that overlooks so much. It's probably a comparison you shouldn't even make since both resorts are so different. You simply need to experience both.
I could go on for pages and pages about why I love Disneyland, and why everyone owes it to themselves to visit Disneyland, but hopefully this is a good-enough jumping off point.

A small group of determined residents almost succeeded in hijacking the Whitefish Bay School District's annual meeting last night. About 18 to 20 residents came to the meeting bent on forcing a $700,000 reduction to the tax levy.
They failed but got the attention of the School Board, which will discuss funding of the Recreation Department as an agenda item at a future School Board meeting.
Recreation Department funding was one of two issues the group focused on in remarks at the meeting. The other item was teacher benefits. Michael Braun and Jamie Kowalski, who led the fight against the referendum for school improvements and additions, had the support of other residents in the attempt to reduce the levy.
After motions and countermotions aimed at trimming the levy, the residents at the annual meeting approved a levy of $21,267,910, a $1,000 reduction from the levy presented for approval by the School Board. The vote to approve was 20 yes, 18 no.

about ink used when changing carts on the Epson R2000. I had three carts to change out so I emptied my external waste ink tank. Replaced the three carts and let the printer do its thing. When all done I had 2.6 ml in the waste ink tank. I suppose it would be the same if replacing all carts but I don't for sure.

Current therapies directed at controlling vascular abnormalities in cancers and neovascular eye diseases target VEGF and can slow the progression of these diseases. While the critical role of VEGF in development has been well described, the function of locally synthesized VEGF in the adult eye is incompletely understood. Here, we show that conditionally knocking out Vegfa in adult mouse retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells, which regulate retinal homeostasis, rapidly leads to vision loss and ablation of the choriocapillaris, the major blood supply for the outer retina and photoreceptor cells. This deletion also caused rapid dysfunction of cone photoreceptors, the cells responsible for fine visual acuity and color vision. Furthermore, Vegfa deletion showed significant downregulation of multiple angiogenic genes in both physiological and pathological states, whereas the deletion of the upstream regulatory transcriptional factors HIFs did not affect the physiological expressions of angiogenic genes. These results suggest that endogenous VEGF provides critical trophic support necessary for retinal function. Targeting factors upstream of VEGF, such as HIFs, may be therapeutically advantageous compared with more potent and selective VEGF antagonists, which may have more off-target inhibitory trophic effects.
Phototransduction by rod and cone photoreceptors in the retina converts light into electrical energy. This process, forming the basis for vision, is facilitated by the vascular plexus (the choriocapillaris) and retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells, both of which underlie and are intimately associated with the photoreceptors. Degeneration of photoreceptors, RPE cells, and the choriocapillaris is associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of vision loss in industrialized nations. While VEGF clearly plays a role in physiological vascular development (1–4) and pathological neovascularization (5, 6) in the retina and the choroid, there is increasing evidence that it is also important for the trophic maintenance of neurons (7–9). Inhibition of VEGF has become the mainstay of therapy for treating AMD (10–12), and increasingly potent VEGF antagonists have recently been introduced into the clinics. In order to better understand the trophic activity of VEGF in the adult retina and choriocapillaris and to assess the effect of deleting its expression by RPE cells, we utilized inducible Cre/loxP technology to genetically delete floxed Vegf alleles in vivo with an RPE-specific VMD2-Cre transgenic line (13).
Three days after RPE-specific Vegf inactivation, we observed complete ablation of the choriocapillaris (Figure (Figure1A).1A). Since almost the entire blood supply to the outer two-thirds of the retina (including the photoreceptors) is provided by the choriocapillaris, we predicted that its loss would induce dramatic secondary effects on the retinal neurons. In fact, following Vegfa inactivation in RPE cells, we observed profound retinal dysfunction, especially in cone photoreceptors. Within 3 days after induction, rapid and progressive dysfunction of cone photoreceptors was detected using electroretinography (ERG) (Figure (Figure1B)1B) compared with multiple controls, including Vegfaf/f (no Cre), Vegfaf/f;VMD2-Cre, Vegfaf/+;VMD2-Cre with doxycycline, and Vegfaf/f;VMD2-Cre without doxycycline (Supplemental Figure 1; supplemental material available online with this article; doi: 10.1172/JCI65157DS1). Using immunohistochemistry to selectively stain for the cone photopigment opsin, we observed a nearly complete absence of cone photoreceptor outer segments (Figure (Figure1C).1C). Cone dysfunction was observed by at least 7 months after Vegfa deletion in RPE (Supplemental Figure 2). These data demonstrate that RPE-derived VEGF is required for maintenance of the choriocapillaris and for cone photoreceptors, the most metabolically demanding cells in the central nervous system (14, 15). Photoreceptors also express VEGF receptors (9, 16), and paracrine-derived VEGF may have a direct role in their maintenance. In humans, loss of cones results in legal blindness, since fine (or "reading") visual acuity is maintained by cones located in the central retina, or macula.
In contrast, rod photoreceptor function (responsible for achromatic and night vision) is insensitive to Vegfa inactivation at the same time points when we observe cone degeneration. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed that the layer of rod photoreceptor outer segments was as thick as that of controls (Figure (Figure2A).2A). Since the murine retina is composed largely of rods and the thickness of the entire retina does not change as late as 7 months after Cre recombinase induction (Figure (Figure2B),2B), this suggests that there is no significant rod photoreceptor atrophy. Scotopic (dark adapted) ERGs demonstrate that rod photoreceptors are fully functional, since there was no change in rod photoreceptor light responsiveness in recordings before and after induction in Vegfa mutant mice (Figure (Figure2C).2C). The preservation of rod photoreceptors for several months after gene deletion suggests that these cells are supported by a minimal vasculature not dependent on RPE-derived Vegfa for its survival. Indocyanine green angiography demonstrated 2 blood supply sources for photoreceptors in Vegfa mutants; intraretinal and outer, major choroidal vessels (Figure (Figure2D).2D). Utilizing electron microscopy, we determined that the choriocapillaris remained atrophic through 7 months and choroidal vessels were observed only sporadically (Figure (Figure2E).2E). These findings are consistent with results from a previous study that examined the effects of global deletion of the soluble VEGF isoforms (VEGF188/188 mice) (17).
Atrophy and thinning of the choriocapillaris is a known age-related event in humans (18). To compensate for choriocapillaris thinning, the RPE is known to synthesize proangiogenic factors that maintain the choriocapillaris (19, 20). Our findings suggest that VEGF may act both directly and indirectly to regulate this phenomenon. Using gene-profiling assays, we demonstrated that the loss of Vegfa affects the expression of multiple angiogenesis-related genes (most are downregulated) in isolated RPE/choroid preparations (Figure (Figure2F2F and Supplemental Table 1). Vegfa is tightly regulated by HIFs during development and pathologically in disease states (21, 22). To determine the role for HIFs in maintenance of the choriocapillaris, we genetically ablated Hif1a (encoding HIF-1α protein), Epas1 (HIF-2α), and Hif1a/Epas1 using VMD2-Cre in adult RPE. No obvious morphological, functional, or transcriptional differences, including Vegfa mRNA, were observed in naive-state adult HIF mutants (Supplemental Figures 3 and 4, and Supplemental Table 1). Several pathways, such as NF-κB/JunB and PGC1α/ERRα are known to induce Vegfa gene expression independently of HIFs (23, 24). These factors, or others, rather may maintain VEGF levels at sufficient levels in healthy retinas. Using laser photocoagulation to induce choroidal neovascularization (CNV), we determined that the extent of CNV was significantly reduced in Vegfa and Epas1 mutants (and partially reduced in Hif1a mutants; Figure Figure3,3, A and B). The upregulation of angiogenic genes was observed in wild-type C57BL/6 mice, but normal expression of these genes was observed in HIF mutants and expression was attenuated in Vegfa mutants compared with naive controls (Figure (Figure3C3C and Supplemental Table 2). These data strongly suggest that HIFs become activated in pathological states to promote VEGF-mediated neovascularization, but are not required to maintain physiological vasculature.
VEGF-mediated neovascularization is associated with vision loss in diseases such as AMD (10–12). The majority of patients receiving currently approved anti-VEGF drugs to treat AMD experience no adverse events. However, long-term safety studies of the effects of VEGF antagonism in the eye have not yet been completed, and there are isolated clinical reports showing progressive RPE/photoreceptor atrophy in patients on anti-VEGF therapies (25). Due to the differences in rod and cone photoreceptor distribution in humans and mice, it is difficult to speculate on what the effect of near-complete VEGF antagonism may be in human subjects. However, if a certain threshold of VEGF could be neutralized, the fovea would be very susceptible and the loss of macular function could result in the devastating loss of central vision. These observations, coupled with reported renal, gastrointestinal (GI), and mucosal complications in patients on systemic VEGF inhibition, contribute to the concern that VEGF antagonism may not be completely effective or safe (26, 27). The data in this study reinforce this concept and suggest that HIF-targeted or combination therapies targeting multiple angiogenic pathways may be safer and more effective than increased VEGF suppression therapy. Newer VEGF antagonists that bind VEGF with higher affinities and less rapid clearing from the eye are coming into use to treat a variety of neovascular diseases (28). Our results suggest that "off-target" effects of potent, persistent VEGF antagonism in the eye may exacerbate degeneration of the choriocapillaris, RPE, and photoreceptors due to the diminished trophic effect of RPE-produced VEGF.
Transgenic mice carrying the human vitelliform macular dystrophy-2 (VMD2) promoter-directed reverse tetracycline-dependent transactivator (rtTA) and the tetracycline-responsive element–directed (TRE-directed) Cre recombinase (VMD2-Cre mice) (13) (provided by Y.Z. Le of University of Oklahoma Health, Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA) were mated with Vegfaf/f mice (29), Hif1af/f mice (30), or Epas1f/f mice (31) (provided by R.S. Johnson of University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom).
Electron microscopy, ganzfeld ERG, immunohistochemistry, in vivo imaging, and laser-induced CNV were performed as previously described (32–34). mRNA PCR arrays for 84 angiogenic genes (Mouse Angiogenesis RTβ Profiler PCR Array, PAMM-024; QIAGEN) were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

I'm running PST import tests on a new Exchange 2010 SP1 server. I'm interested in seeing if there's a quick way to restore the account to default and clear its contents. Kind of a reset or reinitialization of a single account.
If by account, you mean specifically the mailbox, I would diable the mailbox (removing it also removes the user account), and just add back a new mailbox (not re-connect). I have done that in the past, and just tested it again.
If I did not understand your question fully, what on the account are you trying to get back to the default?
I found the solution in the Exchange 2010 SP1 documentation and this forum post.
For Exchange 2013, this need to be done first - (add the "Mailbox Import Export" and "Mailbox Search" roles).

It is the only (three star plus) hotel in the center of the pictoresque town of Morcote. The building is significant due to its pink colour and the romantic-historical, almost venecian style builidng. Had a room with frontal view of the beautiful Lake of Lugano. Rooms are small, but adequately equipped. As the only through road runs just in front of the hotel, there is a bit of traffic also during nightime, but as Morcorte is a quite place in general, it is bearable. Behind the builidng, in a kind of private garden, there is a very relaxin small swimming pool, we enjoyed. There is no night life, except eating in one of the lake-side restaurants - but that is romantic, the hotel itself has a restaurant accross the road on a terrace built in the lake, food, eg. ossobucco, a traditional local dish, is good and just a little bit more expensive then the other restaurants on the "lungolago" promenade. When we were there, by coicidnece, the Lugano Blues Bop festival took place on the Piazza "grande", free of chrage concerts with international musicians (mainly US), the atmosphere with the appprox 1000 auditors was great, this is really an insider tip. Back to the hotel, staff is friendly and mostly german speaking.

Can XRT cause a "bump" in PSA?
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My husband has had prostate cancer for 11 years, and it recently metastasized to 2 vertebrae and one spot on his hip bone. He is almost finished with radiation and his pain is gone. His PSA level has jumped from 28 before radiation to 60 almost 2 weeks into radiation. Is this due to dead cancer cells going through his system?
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
Bumps in PSA (from infections, from dying prostate cancer cells, etc.) CAN occur during prostate radiation therapy. These bumps are usually 4 to 6 ng/ml, but are not typically as high as this (about 30 ng/ml). This could suggest that the cancer is entering a more biologically aggressive mode. It can also be seen with prostate trauma, inflammation, or infection. If one of these conditions is the cause, you would expect the patient to have significant symptoms, such as pain or difficulty with urination. Given the unexplained nature of the sudden PSA rise described above, further imaging and workup by the patient's oncologist is likely indicated.

Furman coach says Ivory cleared to play
Furman head football coach Bobby Johnson said that senior All-America tailback Louis Ivory has been cleared by team medical personnel to play in Friday's NCAA I-AA national championship game against Montana.
Ivory sustained a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee after rushing for 170 yards in the Paladins' 24-20 first round playoff win over Western Kentucky. He sat out Furman's 34-17 win over Lehigh on Dec. 8 and last Saturday's 24-17 semifinal round victory over Georgia Southern. He returned to practice on Monday and, according to Johnson, "has looked pretty good" the last two days. Johnson did not say if Ivory would start. -- Presbyterian wide receiver D.J. Humphries (Union) made The Associated Press Little All-America Team. Humphries caught 95 passes for 1,340 yards and 14 TDs. CLEMSON: Sophomore soccer player Oguchi Onyewu was named second-team All-American by College Soccer News. WOFFORD: Guard Jenny Nett, the SoCon women's basketball player of the week, had 14 points in the Lady Terriers 63-62 win over New Orleans on Tuesday. Cathey Franks scored the winning basket for Wofford (7-3) with 12 seconds left. RECRUITING: Offensive lineman and Greer native Heath Benedict (6-5, 280) announced that he will attend Tennessee next year. He chose the Vols over South Carolina. Benedict attends prep school in New Jersey. ELSEWHERE: Greenville Grrrowl forwards Steve Rymsha and Roger Trudeau will play in the ECHL All-Star game (Jan. 22, Trenton, N.J.). -- The Carolina Rhinos hired coaches Tim Edwards (defensive coordinator), Steve Smith (offensive line) and Scott Mollison (special teams). Also, Rhinos lineman Ronnie Washburn signed with the Arena Football League's Dallas Desperados.

Game Changers
Bigie Meanmugg is a big-time joystick Jedi. Has been for decades. In his adolescence, the local DJ and graphic artist used to waste away hours at the old Nickel Palace arcade over on the west side, feeding five-cent pieces into such classics as Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam. However, the game that ruled the school for Meanmugg was Neo Geo, the legendary multi-game home/arcade system created by SNK at the dawn of the 1990s.
It's no surprise, then, that Meanmugg decorated a vintage Neo Geo machine for "The Artcade Show," an exhibition of refurbished classic quarter-pumpers. The Friday, February 1, showcase features 24 arcade games that have been given a bonus life and an artsy, urban makeover. Others involved in the project include Lalo Cota, El Mac, Ashley Macias, Mikey Jackson, and Josh Rhodes. After being assigned a game, each artist created custom murals and snazzy paintings on the cabinets.
The exhibition will open at Parazol Studios and will offer the chance to play the games for free, as well as a 20-person Street Fighter II tournament.

I must give credit when and where credit is due. As a traveling Executive, I use the 'big guys' on a very regular basis. I probably would be looked at as a Platinum Member with a couple of the nationals. Recently, due to another event in Asheville, I found myself getting #@%&! on my booked reservation. Surprisingly, none of my regulars could, or would, come up with a car for me. And they didn't seem to give a hoot about it either. Anyway, I was exhausting all of the companies in alphabetical order and found myself on the 'u', leading me to U-Save, of which I had never heard of. When I called and explained what had happened, the man answering the phone asked if I could give him an hour because he had a car that was dropped off at a car dealership earlier. Although it was 5:30 in the afternoon, he said that he could get his wife to come over and pick him up as soon as they closed (6:00) and then run him over to pick up the car, wash it, and have it ready for me. And this would be 30 minutes after they closed! Bottom line is that you do not find service like this anymore. I was more than impressed . . . I am sold! And to put a cherry on the proverbial cake, the car was nicer than most that I receive from the other guys. There truly is something to say about locally owned businesses.

I am not sure what had happened to the person who wrote the negative review, but I left another car rental company purely for the opposite reasons: prompt, caring, courteous, and professional service. I rent every other week, and they have yet to let me down. And yes, the owner really does care very much.
This was a great experience! They were so willing to work with me as I tried to make plans to visit family over the holidays! I will absolutely be bringing more business their way in the future!

Customer Reviews for Quilling Made Easy
|« Go Back
March 4, 2016
Charles H
I have rated Quilling a 5-star only because Annie's is nothing but the best in everything it does. I know that I'm getting off the beaten path...but I have been with Annie's for quite some time, and in that time, not 1 complaint. As far as Quilling Made Easy, I have done some quilling within my class supporting people with disabilities. They all made a beautiful heart for Valentine's Day...since that passionate day, I have ordered may different gadgets, thingamabobs, and paper, to better facilitate the Quilling Made Easy for myself and for my friends with Disabilities. Thank you Alli Bartkowski and Annie's for you tireless efforts for helping others learn crafts that may last a lifetime...Charles Hansen

I have done paper crafts for many years, origami, paper sculpture and pop-up cards etc. This excellent class presented new techniques for me to apply to my paper crafts. Very clear instructions with a great mix of quilling projects to try. I'm 66 years old, retired, with lots of time to practice my quilling.

Each time tax reform comes up in DC, chatter starts about MLPs getting their tax advantages whacked. But it hasn't happened previously, and each time the MLPs have bounced up again after the chatter subsides.
We all know they left some goodies for themselves in Washington. They always do and MLP's are it. Even if they are taxed still the best thing going due to oil only going higher with Obama in charge. Our private wells are the most important asset America has right now!
Sentiment: Buy
I agree somebody is probably out floating a stupid idea to change the taxation of MLPs, happens every year. It's fine with me, I can reinvest all of my distributions this week at better prices.

On necessary and sufficient conditions for $L^p$-estimates of Riesz transforms associated to elliptic operators on $\Bbb R^n$ and related estimates
About this Title
Pascal Auscher
Publication: Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society
Publication Year 2007: Volume 186, Number 871
ISBNs: 978-0-8218-3941-6 (print); 978-1-4704-0475-8 (online)
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1090/memo/0871
MathSciNet review: 2292385
MSC: Primary 42B20; Secondary 35J15, 35J30, 35J45, 42B25, 47B44, 47D06, 47F05
This memoir focuses on $L^p$ estimates for objects associated to elliptic operators in divergence form: its semigroup, the gradient of the semigroup, functional calculus, square functions and Riesz transforms. The author introduces four critical numbers associated to the semigroup and its gradient that completely rule the ranges of exponents for the $L^p$ estimates. It appears that the case $p<2$ already treated earlier is radically different from the case $p>2$ which is new. The author thus recovers in a unified and coherent way many $L^p$ estimates and gives further applications. The key tools from harmonic analysis are two criteria for $L^p$ boundedness, one for $p<2$ and the other for $p>2$ but in ranges different from the usual intervals $(1,2)$ and $(2,\infty)$.
Table of Contents
- 1. Beyond Calderón-Zygmund operators
- 2. Basic $L^2$ theory for elliptic operators
- 3. $L^p$ theory for the semigroup
- 4. $L^p$ theory for square roots
- 5. Riesz transforms and functional calculi
- 6. Square function estimates

An FFC on recent comments by Michael Eisner.
Mike Nichols' 1971 drama "Carnal Knowledge" is part of a canon of American films of the late 1960s to mid-1970s that mirrored the freewheeling sexual culture and society from which they emerged. These films ("Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice", "Shampoo" and others) examined varied notions of commitment, companionship and sex. "Carnal Knowledge", written by playwright, author and cartoonist Jules Feiffer, shows men talking casually, bluntly and frankly about women, their bodies, of strategies to get sex and of sexual belt-notching, though not necessarily much about the specific act of sex.
The Grand Poobah is still working away on his memoirs from his quiet retreat in Harbour Country, Lake Michigan and where last week, we caught glimpse of Roger's assistant Carol Iwata, visiting the soda fountain at Schlipp's Pharmacy in Sawyer for a chocolate milkshake. Leading me to wonder "exactly where is that milkshake?" See map. Smile.
That's what some people tell me. Maybe I do. I look myself up in Metacritic, which compiles statistics comparing critics, and I find: "On average, this critic grades 8.9 points higher than other critics (0-100 point scale)." Wow. What a pushover. Part of my problem may be caused by conversion of the detested star rating system. I consider 2.5 stars to be thumbs down; they consider 62.5 to be favorable. But let's not mince words: On average, I do grade higher than other critics.
Now why do I do that? And why, as some readers have observed, did I seem to grade lower in my first 10 or 15 years on the job? I know the answer to that one. When I started, I considered 2.5 stars to be a perfectly acceptable rating for a film I rather liked in certain aspects. Then I started doing the TV show, and ran into another wacky rating system, the binary thumbs. Up or down, which is it?
Gene Siskel boiled it down: "What's the first thing people ask you? Should I see this movie? They don't want a speech on the director's career. Thumbs up--yes. Thumbs down--no." That made sense, but in the paper it had the effect of nudging a lot of films from 2.5 to three stars. There is never any doubt about giving four stars, or one star. The problem comes with the movies in the middle. Siskel once tried to get away with giving thumbs up to a 2.5 star movie, but I called him on it.
Q. I was watching "Godfather II" the other day and remembered that the scene with Vito sitting on the steps with his family, after he has killed Fannuci, was originally intended to lead into an intermission, which was scrapped somewhere along the way. I'm pretty sure James Cameron never intended on having an intermission for "Titanic," but let's pretend the studio asked you, an up and coming editor, to find a place to insert one. Even though you know it was wrong and that Cameron would surely kill you, where would you have put an intermission? (Frank Mendez, Dallas, TX.)
Louis Malle, who died last week at 63, was a director whose movies caused scandal sometimes for their content, sometimes for their style, sometimes for both. The respected French filmmaker, married since 1980 to actress Candice Bergen, died Thursday at their home in Los Angeles, from lymphoma.
If this were a scene in a movie, you'd know right away that it was the scene about the actress' last day in town. Jacqueline Bisset's two-room suite at the Sheraton Plaza was scattered with props for her departure. The bedroom floor was lined with trunks and suitcases, their lids tilted open, clothes tumbling out of them.
