The vast majority of diseases that cause catastrophic loss of vision do so as a result of abnormal angiogenesis and associated retinal edema, hemorrhage and gliosis. The research program supported by this grant for the past 15 years initially focused on understanding the role of adhesion receptors (e.g., integrins) in ocular angiogenesis and developing ways to inhibit abnormal neovascularization. Several years ago, we indentified and characterized endothelial and myeloid progenitor cells as potential therapeutics useful for vascular- and neurotrophic rescue in the treatment of retinal vascular and neuronal degenerative diseases. By studying the fates of these progenitor cells after implantation into eyes of rodent models of retinal disease, we indentified additional cell populations (e.g., microglia, astrocytes, Muller glia) critical to maintaining normal vascular and neuronal networks in the retina. In the next project period, we will continue our studies on mechanisms of basic retinal angiogenesis, developing approaches to inhibit abnormal vessel growth and understanding paracrine effects of endothelium and glia on neuronal parenchyma. We will use novel Cre-inducible transgenic mice in which we have deleted selected angiogenesis-associated genes in specific cell types. The development of the retinal, as well as regression of the hyaloidal, vasculature will be studied in these mice under normal and hypoxic conditions. We will also assess the effect of injected and novel cell-based delivery systems for the delivery of combination angiostatic and neurotrophic therapies in models of retinal neovascularization. The overarching hypothesis driving this research program is that physiological angiogenesis differs from pathological angiogenesis largely as a result of "miscues" between interacting cell populations and their micro-environments;while the principle participant is the endothelial cell, other cells are critical to vessel formation and these include microglia, inflammatory cells and even neurons. We will continue to explore the relationship between these cells types, how they influence the extracellular matrix (e.g., "microenvironment") and what molecules they influence during "cross-talk". This will be accomplished through the following Specific Aims: (1) We will explore the potential utility of combination angiostatic therapy and targeted cell-based delivery of angiostatics and neurotrophics in treating ocular neovascularization;(2) We will explore and define the role of non-endothelial cells in retinal angiogenesis and vascular regression;and (3) Using novel metabolomic analyses we will identify molecules associated with hypoxia driven angiogenesis in physiologically relevant models of angiogenesis.
The vast majority of diseases that cause catastrophic loss of vision do so as a result of abnormal blood vessel growth (angiogenesis) and associated retinal edema, hemorrhage and gliosis. Using rodent models of retinal vascular diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and age related macular degeneration, we will explore the utility of novel anti-angiogenic and neurotrophic drugs for the treatment of retinal vascular and neuronal degenerative diseases.

Kate Middleton isn't the sister in her family to hit the big time. Younger sister Pippa Middleton, who — along with her derriere — rose to fame alongside her royal-marrying sibling, has reportedly landed a book deal and according to the U.K.'s Telegraph, and a tidy $600,000 advance.
Pippa's guide to party planning — after an apparently aggressive battle between publishers — will be published by Penguin books in time for planning next year's holiday events. Middleton had apparently wanted to release the book earlier, but doesn't want to be seen as cashing in on Queen Elizabeth's upcoming Diamond Jubilee celebration of her 60 years on the throne of England.
The book is expected to guide readers on how to become the perfect party hostess. It will, per the Telegraph, include recipes, anecdotes and tips on how to throw several different kinds of events. No word yet on whether or not a royal wedding will be included.
And Pippa may just have some advice worth reading. The 28-year-old has been a professional party planner for at least three years, has regularly contributed to The Party Times, the online newsletter of her parents' Party Pieces party planning company and attends many functions in her capacity as Tatler's magazine's "Number 1 Society Singleton."
Here's an excerpt from Pippa's introduction to the January 2011 Party Times newsletter:
"Defying the doom and gloom of miserable weather we are still getting excited about endless party possibilities: In the boys' corner we've got a football theme, a sure score with the sporting crowd, and for the girls out there, a Snow White party is a perfect theme in this winter chill. Taking inspiration from the East, we have a Chinese New Year party feature; a great way to start off the first weekend in February. Then of course
there's Valentine's Day, so feel the love with our party proposal."
She's clearly a natural.

Moving the goalposts
Moving the goalposts (or shifting the goalposts) is a metaphor, derived from association football or other games, that means to change the criterion (goal) of a process or competition while still in progress, in such a way that the new goal offers one side an intentional advantage or disadvantage.[1]
This phrase is British in origin[2] and derives from sports that use goalposts, such as association football. The figurative use alludes to the perceived unfairness in changing the goal one is trying to achieve after the process one is engaged in (e.g. a game of football) has already started.[1]
Logical fallacy[edit]
Moving the goalposts, similar to "shifting sands" and also known as raising the bar, is an informal fallacy in which evidence presented in response to a specific claim is dismissed and some other (often greater) evidence is demanded. That is, after an attempt has been made to score a goal, the goalposts are moved to exclude the attempt.[3] The problem with changing the rules of the game is that the meaning of the end result is changed, too.[4]
Some include this metaphor as description of the tactics of harassment. In such cases, a re-defining of another's goals may in reality be intentionally devised so as to assure that an athlete, for example, will ultimately never be able to finally achieve the ever shifting goals.[5]
In workplace bullying, shifting the goalposts is a conventional tactic in the process of humiliation.[6]
Moving the goalposts may also refer to feature creep, in which the completion of a product like software is not acknowledged because an evolving list of required features changes over time, which in extreme cases may even require rewriting the entire program. Thus, the goal of "completing" the product for a client may never occur.[citation needed]
The term is often used in business to imply bad faith on the part of those setting goals for others to meet, by arbitrarily making additional demands just as the initial ones are about to be met. Accusations of this form of abuse tend to occur when there are unstated assumptions that are obvious to one party but not to another.[citation needed]
Karl Popper coined the concept conventionalist twist or conventionalist stratagem in Conjectures and Refutations[7] with similar use with this fallacy but in the context of the falsifiability of certain scientific theories.
In 2009, Danish football goalkeeper Kim Christensen was caught on camera moving the goalposts in order to gain advantage over the opposing team. Christensen's moving the goalposts was discovered by a referee about 20 minutes into the game, but Christensen did not suffer a suspension or any fines for his actions.[8][9][10]
In rugby, moving the goalposts constitutes a professional foul. The officials are granted carte blanche to assess whatever penalty they see fit, including awarding the score for any attempt at a goal missed or invalidating any goal scored as a result of the moved goalposts. A comparable foul in American football is the palpably unfair act, though it would not cover moving the goalposts, which are anchored into the ground.
Moving goalposts is common in ice hockey, where physical contact with the posts is common. If the goalposts are knocked off their moorings in the course of play, play is stopped until the goal is put back in place. If the goalposts are deliberately moved to stop an opponent from scoring, the opponent may be granted a penalty shot; if the goaltender does so, the goaltender may be ejected from the game (a rule imposed at most levels of the game in 2014 after David Leggio deliberately moved the goalposts during a two-person breakaway, believing he would have a better chance of stopping a penalty shot).[11][12]

In life, It is very seldom that some one can start a new. Not very often does someone get a true second chance. If you ever get a second. It's a sign. It's a sign saying straiten up, this may be your second chance but it's also your last.If this truly is your last chance, you better make sure they don't regret giving it to you. A second chance in ways is a form starting a new, being ready to make the change. And this is A New Beginning for you. I believe that with each new life, there comes a new beginning. And Three people in my life have made the impact on me to start a new, I'm ready. And I have started A New Beginning in my life. One of those people I love, weather or not they believe it, I do love them. But I love her like a Step Mother. Even though it pissed me off at the time Machelle didn't let me see Makayla for a long time. And now I understand that she was only trying to protect one of the people she loved most. And even though Makayla was only pregnant for 8 or 9 weeks, both of our parenting instincts started to kick in and I was just trying to protect and save the person I love most in this world and the small child that could already feel the love of it's parents. And when I stepped up and showed up to the hospital even after I was instructed not to come there, I showed a little maturity and responsibility and the miracle that I had prayed would happen finally did. Machelle gave me a second chance. And I really don't want to screw this up, so it symbolizes maturity and responsibility when I might do something dumb and reckless. Since then I've done better. The second person that impacted me with a second chance, so I could fix my mistakes. And I'd rather not talk about it or bring up the past. But after she forgave me and let me back in and let me have this second chance I've been a better man to her and be less of an asshole. I treat her the way she should be treated, And I love her with all my heart. And that is two amazing things in my mind is getting both second chances in the same year. And if that by it self wasn't a sign, when Makayla and I lost our baby I was depressed at first and sad and I really didn't know what to do or how to take it. Stephanie talked to me that knight and all our friends were talking to me that night and I realize that this was gods way of giving Makayla and I both huge second chances. And since that I drew to relieve stress, I learned that this particular thing when it relieves stress, I get some really good ideas and I knew that after that day, I was going to be a different new person. I'm going to school everyday, I'm keeping my work caught up, I'm keeping my grades up, I'm being more responsible and I was given A New Beginning when that baby was born and pronounced a miscarriage. With each new life, there comes A New Beginning. And this tattoo is my way of thanking them and promising them that I am changed, or I'm at least in the process of changing in to a better person.

Thank you Colleen.I have printed this out and put it in my digital file.
Unfortunately I am not digital yet. A friend made this for me. I still use
my 35 year old Minolta XG-1 (telephoto lens sometimes -has no Zoom). I do
use a tripod all the time though. It helps keep this Old Coot from falling
down when he bends over to see the "Wee ones"
I do appreciate your reply, I HAVE saved it and hopefully REAL SOON I can
put it to good use.

Eastern Christian Worlds
This work takes the reader on a journey to spiritual galaxies which have been too long neglected, although they are Christian universes and fiercely faithful to what was given at the beginning. With wide coverage, it presents, through both images and texts, a view of Middle-Eastern Churches - past and present - specifically in Syria, Armenia, Egypt and Ethiopia. Many of these icons have never before been seen in print, and most differ in style from their Greek cousins.

Four finalists. Eight performances. One soon-to-be-crowned champion.
Dia, Beverly, Vicci and Javier were given two final times last night to win over viewers: once via an original song and once via a duet with their Coach.
Throughout the night, we enjoyed covers of such iconic artists as Michael Jackson and Tom Petty, while Christina Aguilera teamed up with Beverly and covered... herself. A bold move, we'd say. Read More...

Try to get a background and foreground shot together when these two cooperated.
What a pity his tail is chopped off but what lovely close-up. What sort of camera is it?
It's a cannon t3i. Yeah I know it swan into the frame at the last minute and I didn't want to lose it.
Good pics! Reminds me to get my new camera back out and stop using my dern iPhone!

District 3: Road and Bridge Report
Don Hawthorne, County Commissioner District 3
All of the rain we have had the last two years have been great compared to the drought of the last few preceding years. But we continue to work to keep up with rain and flood damage and have gotten behind on mowing and oil and chipping the roads that are scheduled to be redone this summer. We will make every effort to catch up before winter weather.
The rains that caused road and bridge damage this year started on April 16th and went off and on through June 13th. We have lost track of how many times we have had to clear debris from bridges and culverts and to re-gravel and re-grade roads.
The worst damage this year was the bridge on Bandy Road where it crosses Big Sandy Creek. The south approach was washed out completely. It cost us an estimated $50,000 to repair it so the road could be opened.
The heavy rains washed out a set of three tin horns on Tinney Rd east of 52nd Street. After they were installed and the road way built up the rains on June 11 and 12 caused additional damage that had to be repaired. Also the June 11th rain storm flooded and washed asphalt off of the bridge at Maddische Road north of State Highway 49.
The low water crossing on Autumn Drive had to be repaired two times because of high water from the run off.
The Legislature, in order to pass a state budget took 1 million dollars from the ODOT equipment revolving fund, which we had used to buy 3 new Mack 10-wheeler dump trucks and a patch truck and took 50 million dollars from the County Improvements for Roads and Bridges (CIRB) Fund. This is a dedicated fund that was established some time ago to assist counties with building roads and bridges that most could not afford to do on their own. Comanche County has a number of outdated bridges that are on a 5-year plan to be replaced. This action by the Legislature may delay the replacement for 8 years.
We met with a representative from Oklahoma Emergency Management to survey our damage from the June 11th and 12th rains. This was a preliminary assessment to see if the County qualifies for FEMA assistance. Unfortunately it did not include the damage from all the rains that we received prior to that date.
The road crew is recycling roads getting them ready to oil and chip this summer. G Street between 1st & 2nd Streets in Cache, Paint Road from the railroad tracks north to Rogers Lane, New Hope from Hurst Rd to S.H. 36, Coombs Rd from 82nd to 112th St. and Havenshire Circle in Pecan Valley South. If time permits, we plan to do McIntosh Rd from S.H. 58 east for about a mile.
We took delivery of two 2017 International single axle dump trucks. One will replace the old patch truck and the other will be used with the backhoe. We also bought a flat bed low-boy trailer to haul our heavy equipment to job sites.
We hauled in dirt for Chattanooga School where they are making a playground out of a parking lot that was donated to them. We put millings from the City of Cache street project on the road by the Cache School's elementary building where parent's line up to pick up children and also hauled sand to a playground.
The guys hauled dirt into the Coliseum at the Comanche County Fairgrounds for an upcoming horse show, and we swept the shoulders of State Highway 115 from Cache to the Refuge for the Tour of the Wichita's Bike Race.

We had a fantastic stay! Our room featured two comfy beds and cool exposed brick, and while the front desk is often vacant (a shame because the receptionist is super sweet and helpful!) there's not much you'd need to ask for anyway. The street it's on isn't the cutest part of Montreal but it's a two-minute walk from the metro stop that connects all of the different lines, so if you're travelling by public transit like we were it's an excellent spot to be.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
This beautiful apartment is furnished to a high standard. It is located in the elegant del Duque area of Costa Adeje, near Torviscas, South Tenerife, which is known for its upmarket restaurants and shops. The apartment has 3 bedrooms, can sleep 6. Each of the 3 bedrooms has fitted wardrobes and a ceiling fan, and each can sleep 2. The terrace is very pleasant, with sun all afternoon, and marvelous sea views. The lounge is tastefully furnished with a leather sofa, TV, with satellite dish (English channels), DVD, dining area. The separate kitchen is fully equipped with oven, ceramic hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher, boiler, coffee machine, scale, etc. Washing machine and ironing facilities. Each bathroom has a bath with shower and bidet. This is a wonderful apartment for a pleasant, relaxing and high quality vacation in the Del Duque area of Tenerife. The pool is heated all year round, with free access to sunbeds and umbrellas. Covered garage space available.
SURROUNDINGS: Playa del Duque is a stylish and cosmopolitan resort situated south of Tenerife. The beach of Playa del Duque is less than 10 minutes walk from the complex and on the way you will pass numerous shopping centers and restaurants (Spanish, Thai, Italian, Chinese). The nearby Fanabe centre is closed to traffic and its pedestrianised walks are alive with open air restaurants and bars. To the west is the small fishing village of La Caleta, which has a handful of bars and some excellent fish restaurants, which creates a traditional and peaceful atmosphere. To the east is the resort of Playa de las Americas with its many bars, restaurants, 'English' pubs and nightlife. This can be reached in a few minutes by car but a better way to approach it is to take a stroll along the lovely Geranium walk, a flower bedecked promanade stretches all the way to the port of Los Cristianos. There are 5 golf courses within 30 minutes drive the nearest being the 18 hole course at Golf Costa Adeje.
Arrivals / Departures: The apartment is available from 02PM onwards.
Departures should not take place after 10AM in order to unable to clean the apartment. However, if there is no arrival until later in the day or the following day, departure can take place at any time on request.
A beatiful spacious apartment in a great location. There is a fully equiped kitchen and all the rooms open onto a large terrace which was perfect for dining outdoors. It was even nicer than the photos. The pool was great and there were plenty of sunbeds.
The apartment was clean and well maintained and finished to a high standard. The apartment also has wireless internet connection which we put to good use.
Nathalie was very helpful when we got to the apartment and both Nathalie & Daniel provided excellent customer service.
We would recommend this apartment to both family and friends.
Within 5/10 minutes of the apartment there are plenty of restaurants, shops and a great beach.
We had a great holiday and are planning to book the apartment again soon.
very good apartment, very clean, secure, and garage accommodation is a good plus for drivers. Natty was very encouraging and helpful to us all, and we found that she went above and beyond to help us when we needed it. Thank you natty. Just a couple of disappointments i found . As we were there in December, we found that the sun didn't reach the balcony until around 4pm or so, and sunset was about 6pm or so. As a light sleeper, i found that except for week ends, General waste collection from the hotel about 60 yards away took place any time from 2am to 7am each day, so i needed ear plugs. If you are a deep sleeper then no problem ! Apart from these, everything was good. Market is 5 min walk, good shopping area is 10 min walk, just a little uphill walk back so be aware if walking is a problem. Pool area is a must. good pool depth and children's pool very safe. Thanks again to all concerned .
We booked this apartment for our friends and family and they loved it. Great customer service, easy to contact manager with all the arrangements. Wonderful warm welcome on arrival and a very appreciated welcome pack. Apartment is very well supplied with everything you could need provided including beach towels. Very clean and lovely furnishings. An added extra was a shopping trolley which is very handy for bringing water back from the supermarket.
Complex is vey secure. Pool is lovely but can be a bit busy at peak times of the year. Close to supermarkets, restaurants and beaches. Del Duque beach is well worth a visit. Only 10 minutes in a taxi to Las Americas.
Would highly recommend this apartment. Our friends and family said it was "fantastic". The one and only downside was there is no aircon only ceiling fans. Would certainly stay again.
From the very start the communication was great and on arrival Natty was there to welcome us with a smile. She had stocked the fridge with the basics to get going and to make a tea after the flight. Apartment has everything you need including towels for the beach. Local market (Thur & Sat) on the door step, 24 hour mini market and 2 larger super markets close along with nearest restaurants and bars. The area is lovely along with the complex which is relaxing and quiet and so well kept. We normally stay in hotels but we all enjoyed this holiday so much, hotels are so out now. Would be more than happy to book again or recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing break with great accommodation and pool area. Natty, thank you so much :-)
A lovely spacious and bright apartment, everything provided for a lovely break. Very nice heated pool and close to bars and restaurants
We stayed at the apartment for 7 nights from 13th June 2014.
After a short taxi ride from the airport (15 mins), we were greeted by the very friendly Nat who showed us around and made us feel at home straight away!
The apartment is in a very secure and modern complex, the other apartments were residential and we barely heard any noise from any of them.
The pictures do not do the apartment justice - it is very modern and spotlessly clean. There is a flat screen TV in the sitting room (was great for watching the World Cup on!) and a comfy L-shaped sofa. The balcony is private and got the sun in the afternoon.
There are two very modern bathrooms and we were delighted to find the showers were hot and very powerful - sometimes hard to find when travelling abroad!
The Del Duque area again is very modern, and mostly made up of luxury housing and apartments. The lovely beach is a 10 min walk away (downhill), and there are a few restaurants/bars on the beach front but we found these to be quiet and expensive - for eating and drinking Fanabe is only a 15 minute walk from the apartment (or a two minute taxi ride) and has plenty of bars and restaurants which were considerably cheaper and really good quality. Most of these look over Fanabe beach and have great views of the sunset!
The area is quite hilly (we are a couple in our late 20's so this was not an issue), so may not be suitable for people with walking difficulties. However taxis were easily available and cheap (a taxi from the apartment to Fanabe for example was about 3 Euros).
We had a brilliant time in Tenerife and would not hesitate to return to the apartment!
Thank You Nat!
El Duque boasts a variety of shops, bars and restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. El duque and Fanabe beach are ideal for relaxing in the sun or you can take advantage of the many water sports on offer, from paragliding to water-skiing. Puerto Colon Marina is only a short walk away where you can enjoy many of the boat trips on offer including a trip to the nearby island of La Gomera (a walker's paradise) or venture out to watch the pilot whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. The championship Adeje Golf course is nearby for those who enjoy a round or two. Siam Water Park is now open. It is the largest water park in the whole of Europe.
Other Activities: quad, karting, aquatic parks etc.

Tasha Raylene. Chic, buzzworthy soirees
and consistently turning up the creative
volume is what makes this swanky Northwest Indiana wedding planner
and event stylist a must have for your
upcoming wedding or posh partie.
How did wedding planner make your day special?
Where do I even begin? From the decor, to details in every single item, to being there every sec i needed anything, it was amazing.
Useful suggestions, tips, wisdom your planner offered?
They offered all their suggestions,& tips... It was amazing how much advice and knowledge they had to offer on every subject.
The biggest suggestion that was absoultely amazing was the birch branch tree, where the guests hung their cards on, instead of a boring everyday, wedding card box :-) it was awesome & a big hit at the wedding!
How the planner reduced your inner-Bridezilla?
haha they reduced it a lot, i was worry, stress-free 90% of the time!
Value of a wedding planner?
you won't regret it, if you are thinking how am I going to get this done? I can't afford to have the wedding of my dreams, think again, tasha and lauren can make it happen!
How did wedding planner make your day special?
Tasha and Lauren were great at developing the overall design of our event. I was totally lost when it came to the look I wanted our wedding day to have. From helping design a custom logo, menus, programs, centerpieces, and much more... it was like they were inside my head and knew exactly what I wanted! Everyone to this day is still raving that is was one of the most amazing wedding they have ever been too!
Useful suggestions, tips, wisdom your planner offered?
Again the overall look and design... I never would have thought we could afford our own logo or a fancy candy buffet and they were able develop that for us and stay in our budget
How the planner reduced your inner-Bridezilla?
Since our wedding was a "destination wedding" for both families Tasha and Lauren made sure all our guest were taken care of; setting up the hospitality room at the hotel so people had a place to hang out between the wedding and receptions, making sure the shuttles got everyone where they needed to be, and keeping everyone on time!
We had many issues the our hotel (not having rooms blocked, losing reservations) and reception venue (overcharging and not much selection in linens) and Tasha and Lauren took care of it all and made sure our day went off without a hitch without costing an absolute fortune!!!
Value of a wedding planner?
I can not say enough about the two of them. They know every detail there is to take care of. They worked their butts off for us. We used them as a day of planner and from the moment we hired them we did not regret it. While most brides are freaking out the week before their wedding I was totally at ease and enjoyed every moment since I knew I had two extremely talent professionals taking care of everything. If you are looking for a planner you found the right ones. Our family will continue to use them in the future for weddings and baby showers! They rock!
How did wedding planner make your day special?
My wedding day was effortless! With the help of Tasha and Lauren all I had to do was enjoy the day with friends and family. It was wonderful not having to worry about anything.
Useful suggestions, tips, wisdom your planner offered?
Tasha helped so much in the design area. I had an idea of what I wanted for my wedding, and she made it happen, all while staying in budget. She had so many ideas for saving money without sacrificing style.
How the planner reduced your inner-Bridezilla?
Tasha and Lauren took care of everything that needed to be done, including calling to remind me of appointments, attending appointments, picking out decor, and most importantly staying on budget!
Value of a wedding planner?
Enjoying my wedding day to the fullest! I never had to assign duties to our families or friends, so they also had a stress-free day.

O.C. firms buck venture capital trend
Venture capitalists continue to be cautious, investing less money in fewer young companies in the first three months of 2012 than they did in the same period a year ago, according to two reports.
The MoneyTree Report counts 758 deals receiving a total of $5.8 billion in the first quarter compared with $6.7 billion a year ago. The report is from PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association based on data from Thomson Reuters.
In a separate report, Dow Jones VentureSource says 717 deals received $6.3 billion, down 18 percent in dollar amount and 9 percent in number of deals from a year earlier.
The two reports collect data differently so they typically vary in details but agree in the direction of investments.
Fisker Automotive in Anaheim was one of the largest deals of the quarter, receiving $129.7 million, the MoneyTree Report said. The only larger deals were SquareTrade of San Francisco, for $238 million; and Sapphire Energy, San Diego, $139 million.
Other Orange County companies receiving venture capital investments in the first quarter, according to MoneyTree Report, include:
Sequent Medical, Aliso Viejo, $26 million
WaterHealth International, Irvine, $22.5 million
GluMetrics, Irvine, $18 million
WaveTech Vision, Aliso Viejo, $16.5 million
M86 Security, Irvine, $13.6 million
VertiFlex Inc., San Clemente, $8 million
Uptake Medical, Tustin, $5.2 million
Brand Affinity Technologies, Irvine, $4.6 million
Numecent Holdings Ltd., Irvine, $2 million
SignNow Inc., Newport Beach, $2 million
Jeda Networks, Newport Beach, $900,000
YouMail, Irvine, $300,000
According the VentureSource, Orange County investments were 70 percent higher in dollar amount invested in 50 percent more deals in the first quarter compared with a year ago.
"Venture capitalists remained cautious during the first quarter after a lackluster fourth quarter in the public markets," said Randy Churchill, director of the Southern California emerging company services practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers. "The jump in dollars invested in the medical-device industry during the first quarter may seem surprising, given the 22 percent drop in life sciences funding. (But) companies in the later stage of development accounted for more than half the investment in this industry."

L'Aquila is one the most beautiful cities in Italy, and has been for hundreds of years, despite its many trials. The most recent devastating event was an earthquake in 2009 that partially destroyed the city; in a twist, this same devastation brought L'Aquila to the international spotlight more than its historical value ever did. The rebuilding of the art district is very difficult, due to the specifics and artistic characteristic of each building, and as a result it is likely to be quite a

Why Cloud Security Remains Top Concern of IT Professionals
Why Cloud Security Remains Top Concern of IT ProfessionalsWhile most companies are moving to the cloud, security remains a concern. Here's a look at where IT professionals stand on cloud computing.
IT Professionals Are Clear About Cloud Migration Best PracticesWhen it comes to cloud adoption, IT professionals follow a familiar script. According to the data collected from Netwrix, 66 percent of respondents say they'll only move to the cloud if they have a "well-defined architecture for security." IT professionals said companies should also start with pilot testing, understand the needs of end users and ultimately define a cloud migration's scope before taking the leap.
Security an Ongoing ConcernThere's no surprise here, but the biggest concern among IT professionals moving to the cloud is security. About two-thirds of respondents said that the security and privacy of "sensitive data" is their chief concern, followed by the possibility of the loss of physical control over data. Migration costs ranks lowest in IT professionals concerns.
What About Losing Control Over Data?Losing control over data is a major factor in whether a company will choose a cloud provider, according to Netwrix. For midsize enterprises, 43 percent of respondents said that not being able to get data whenever they need it would be a deal-breaker. That number was at 36 percent for small companies. Disaster recovery effectiveness was another major concern for many IT professionals considering a move to the cloud.
Ranking the Security ConcernsTaking a deeper dive into cloud security, Netwrix found that 69 percent of IT professionals are most concerned with unauthorized access to data stored in the cloud. More than four in 10 respondents say they're worried about account hijacking, and 36 percent say malware infiltrations can be a concern. Surprisingly, just one in four respondents say "insider misuse" is a worry.
Cloud Migration Still in Early StagesCloud adoption is still a long way from being ubiquitous, data shows. The greatest number of companies, about one-third of survey respondents, say that they are still in the "discovery and evaluation" phase of cloud adoption. Just 17 percent of respondents say that they have "broad implementation" across their company. The rest of the respondents say that they are either in early trials or starting to implement adoption.
Why Will Companies Move to the Cloud?When Netwrix asked midsize companies why they'd move to the cloud, 38 percent of respondents said that it was the flexibility in "resource utilization," followed closely by having data more easily accessible to employees. The cloud's cost savings and scalability also proved important. Flexibility was similarly important to large enterprises, while scalability was tops among small companies.
The Most Popular Cloud Service ModelsAs of this writing, nearly half of companies surveyed (45 percent) say that they are currently using software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications in the cloud. That is followed by a third of companies that are using infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and 22 percent that have opted for platform-as-a-service (PaaS).
The Most Popular Cloud Deployment ModelsCloud deployment is also a concern among professionals. For now, just 18 percent of companies say that they're willing to invest in a fully public cloud for their operations, compared with 37 percent of companies that have private clouds. Hybrid clouds are most popular, accounting for 44 percent of all cloud implementations, according to the IT professionals.
Companies Say They Will Pay Extra for Security AssurancesIn a rather surprising finding, Netwrix discovered that many companies indicate they are willing to pay an additional fee for security guarantees on the data they store in the cloud. In fact, among large enterprises, 77 percent of companies already pay, or would consider paying, for those security guarantees. That figure tops out at 84 percent among small companies and 81 percent for midsize enterprises.
Few Companies Aren't Moving to the CloudWhen it's all said and done, the vast majority of companies are at least planning to move to the cloud. Just 13 percent of companies say that they are not even considering moving at least one of their services to the cloud. This data point indicates that for the minority of companies that indicate they have no plans to use cloud services, not even the cloud's scalability or cost-savings are enough to get them to change minds about cloud services.
There is little doubt among IT professionals that cloud computing will be the main driver of future growth and innovation in IT. Some of the largest companies in the world, including Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Microsoft, Google and IBM, are all investing billions of dollars in cloud computing. Furthermore, a recent study showed that eight in 10 IT professionals expect to invest at least some of their company's cash in the cloud in 2016. However, a new study from Netwrix, a company that surveys IT professionals to track technology trends, shows that there is still some worry about what the future will look like. In particular, IT professionals and decision makers remain worried about security, despite the efforts of service providers to show that cloud computing can be no less secure that on-premises computing resources. This slide show focuses on data points in the Netwrix survey that indicate that security is a continuing concern of IT despite their commitment to expanding their use of cloud services. Read on to learn more from the Netwrix 2015 Cloud Security study, which is based on surveys of more than 600 IT professionals worldwide.

I've heard that Non-surgical rhinoplasty (fillers in the nose) can go wrong sometimes. Does your nose really rot off? I really want to extend the length of my nose, but do I have to consider these consequences? I'm fourteen, but are fillers the best option?
What Causes Non-surgical Rhinoplasty to Fail? (photo)
Doctor Answers 1
Lengthening the nose with rhinoplasty
Non-surgical rhinoplasty can potentially have untoward complications for a variety of reasons. The nose has a very sensitve blood supply, and sometimes it can be compromised by the use of fillers if not performed judiciously.
Fillers are a poor option for lengthening the nose, and especially at your age, would advise against it.

The 2013 season is beginning well for the Whitnall boys soccer team.
The Falcons won the Cudahy Classic Tournament on Saturday and easily took their season opener Aug. 29, routing Monona Grove, 9-2.
At Cudahy, Whitnall won its pool with 11 points, tying Waukesha North but prevailing on a tiebreaker.
The Falcons then took on Cudahy/St. Francis in the championship game and played to a 1-1 tie. The game went to a shootout to determine a winner and Whitnall took that by a 3-1 count.
Ironically, Whitnall began its Woodland Conference schedule against the same Cudahy squad Wednesday.
The Falcons received four goals apiece from Petar Miskov and Cade Dombrowski in the victory over Monona Grove on Aug. 29.
Whitnall was up only 3-2 at the half on two scores from Dombrowski and one by Miskov.
Dombrowski, Joe Schauer and Miskov all tallied to make it 6-2 and the Falcons coasted after that.
Bryan Domitrz, Austin Valiatis, Patrick Schinner, Miskov and Schauer all added assists, with Schauer collecting three of them.
Goalkeeper Max Schwarz made two saves for the contest.
Dombrowski, Miskov and Schauer are all among the veterans from last year's 7-10 squad.
The Falcons welcome Shorewood on Monday and Greendale on Wednesday, both at 4:30 p.m.

Palestinian Authority:
U.S. Assistance Is Training and Equipping Security Forces, but the Program Needs to Measure Progress and Faces Logistical Constraints
GAO-10-505: Published: May 11, 2010. Publicly Released: May 11, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3149
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The 2003 Roadmap for Peace process sponsored by the United States and other nations obligates the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Government of Israel to undertake security efforts as a necessary precursor for achieving the long-standing objective of establishing a Palestinian state as part of the two-state solution for peace in the Middle East. In 2005 the Department of State (State) created the office of the United States Security Coordinator (USSC) to help the parties meet these obligations. GAO was asked to (1) describe the nature and extent of U.S. security assistance to the PA since 2007; (2) assess State's efforts to measure the effectiveness of its security assistance; and (3) describe factors that may affect the implementation of U.S. security assistance programs. GAO analyzed documents; interviewed officials and regional experts; and conducted fieldwork in Jerusalem, the West Bank, Israel, and Jordan.
State has allocated about $392million to train and equip the PA security forces, oversee construction of related infrastructure projects, and develop the capacity of the PA during fiscal years 2007 through 2010. Of this total, State has allocated: (1) more than $160 million to help fund and support training, primarily for the PA's National Security Force (NSF); (2) approximately $89 million to provide nonlethal equipment; (3) about $99 million to renovate or construct several PA installations, including two of the operations camps it plans to provide; and (4) about $22 million to build the capacity of the Interior Ministry and its Strategic Planning Directorate. State also requested $150 million for its programs for fiscal year 2011. Although U.S. and international officials said that U.S. security assistance programs for the PA have helped to improve security conditions in some West Bank areas, State and USSC have not established clear and measurable outcome-based performance indicators to assess progress. Thus, it is difficult to determine how the programs support the achievement of security-related Roadmap obligations. U.S. officials attributed the lack of agreement on such performance indicators to a number of factors, including the relatively early stage of PA plans and capacity for reforming, rebuilding, and sustaining its security forces. Developing outcome-based indicators to measure and manage performance against program goals has been identified by GAO as a good management practice. Such indicators would help USSC provide objective and useful performance information for decision makers. State and USSC officials noted that they plan to incorporate performance indicators in a USSC campaign plan to be released in mid-2010. The implementation of the U.S. security assistance programs faces logistical constraints largely outside of U.S. control, and these implementation efforts outpace international efforts to develop the limited capacity of the PA police and justice sector. Logistical constraints include restrictions on the movement of USSC personnel in the West Bank, lack of a process to ensure approval and timely delivery of equipment, and difficulties in acquiring suitable land for infrastructure projects. State, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and other international donors have been assisting the PA civil police and justice-sector reforms, although these efforts are not proceeding at the same pace as the security assistance programs.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: State partially concurred with the recommendation. In a letter to Congressional committees after the report's issuance, State stated that it had drafted a new umbrella Letter of Agreement (LOA) between itself and the Palestinian Authority (PA). The LOA included seven projects that were designed to establish and enhance the PA's capability to build a professional security force under civilian command and control and expand popular access to Rule of Law. The LOA defines goals and establishes performance measures for each of the seven project areas. Moreover, the parties to the LOA agree to furnish each other the information necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of project operations under the terms of the LOA. Furthermore, upon termination of a project, a completion report will be issued and shall include a summary of project contributions, activities performed, objectives achieved, and related data. The LOA was signed by the U.S. Consul General in Jerusalem and the Palestinian Authority in June 2010. Subsequently, in October 2010, the incoming head of the USSC updated the USSC campaign plan to guide the effort for the next 3-5 years through a time of transition in the USSC-PA relationship from a Train and Equip program for the new Palestinian security forces to efforts to help the PA sustain the completed force structure. A review of State, USSC, U.S. Consulate General Jerusalem and contractor weekly, monthly, and quarterly reports between July 2010 and April 2012 demonstrates that State has been consistently tracking progress toward the seven activities agreed to under the terms of the June 2010 LOA.
Recommendation: As State develops the USSC campaign plan for providing security assistance to the PA, the Secretary of State should establish outcome-based indicators and track them over time. State should define specific program objectives and identify appropriate outcome-based indicators that would demonstrate progress toward achieving those objectives, and would enable it to, among other things, weigh the progress made in developing the security forces, civil police, Ministry of Interior, and justice sectors.

Patterns of Providence
"I see very clearly clearly that God doesn't show partiality. In every nation he accepts those who fear him and do what is right." - (Acts 10: 34-35 NLT)
THE EIGHTH STEP: Look for a pattern in the way God reveals His will.
In chapter 10 of Acts we read that the Apostle Peter had a vision of a sheet with animals on it, animals which the Law of Moses would not permit a devout Jew to eat. Peter was told three times to kill and eat those animals. He refused each time. Then, he heard knocking on the door. The Spirit told him to go with the men who were knocking, asking no questions about why they came looking for him. Peter soon learned they were not only Gentiles, but the servants of his enemy, a Roman Centurion. When he arrived at the home of this Roman army officer, he was asked to speak to the Centurion's entire household. The first thing Peter told them was that God had shown him not to call any man common or unclean.
Peter did not think this series of events was a coincidence, but saw these happenings as a pattern of divine guidance. These events depict the way the Great Commission of Jesus, to preach the Gospel, crossed over a tremendous barrier of prejudice. Peter's experience ultimately revealed the glorious reality that the Gospel of Jesus Christ was not for the Jew only, but for every person in every nation on earth.
Since our God is a God of order and the "thumbprint" of God can be seen in the extraordinary design of His creation, we should expect to see order and design in the way God reveals His will for our lives.

Communities along Suhum and Dokrochewa appeal for good road
About 10 farming and fishing communities,
in the Suhum Kraboa Coaltar District in the Eastern Region, who are linked to
a common feeder road, have appealed to government to reshape the road.
Some of the communities are Tetekasum, Godziase, Kwame Kyere and Oboango.
The Suhum-Dokrochewa feeder road, which links the communities to the Suhum-Asamankese highway is also used by other communities lying beyond a tributary of the Kua River in the area.
Mr Mathew Narh, an opinion leader of Dokrochewa, speaking on behalf of the communities on Monday, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the deplorable nature of the road had made it very difficult for the people to reach other parts in the area, particularly with the onset of the rains.
Mr. Narh noted that, since the communities reshaped the road in a self-help effort with hand tools, such as hoes, spades and cutlasses to enable vehicles reach the area, no major repair works had been done on the road, adding; "except the usual grading without enough drains".
Mr Narh said an attempt by some of the communities to reshape their portions of that stretch of the road failed and appeared to have worsened the situation.
The Opinion Leader therefore, appealed to the District Assembly and the Feeder Road Authorities to turn to the road for repair work, as early as possible or it would become impassable soon.

Some Jihadis Look To Crimea As Ukraine Crisis Escalates
The chatter is on the margins, and could be more Russian propaganda point than reality — for now. "If one of the key players makes this decision then Russia could quickly be playing a very different game," said one intelligence analyst.
Some extremist Muslim fighters — already hostile to Russia over its wars in Chechnya or support of the Syrian regime against jihadis — have begun to cast the invasion of Crimea, with its minority Muslim Tatars, as part of their broader struggle.
Intelligence analysts said Sunday that no major leaders had yet called fighters to defend Crimea's Tatar minority, which is traditionally Muslim. They also cautioned against turning the chatter among less important figures into a Russian propaganda point.
But experts say calls have already been raised in several international online forums for "jihad" in Crimea against invading Russian forces, building on longstanding mistrust against Russia and the country's adventures in largely Muslim lands.
Aviv Oreg, former head of the "Al Qaeda and Global Jihad" desk at the Israel Defense Forces' military intelligence, said it is far too early for a group like al-Qaeda to issue a call to jihad, and that intelligence agencies are closely monitoring forums where such topics are debated.
"We are waiting to see if there is a serious character who makes this call. If one of the key players makes this decision, then Russia could quickly be playing a very different game," he said.
Oreg and other analysts warned however, that it is important to distinguish between true calls for jihad and messages that could be used for propaganda and manipulation by Russian media.
"Russia could look to use the idea of jihadi groups in Ukraine to serve its own purposes. It could argue that it needs to secure Ukraine against such groups," said one former Israeli ambassador to Russia, who spoke in a background briefing Sunday. "We are already seeing those types of reports in Russian media, sowing this idea that Ukraine is in chaos and Russia is stepping in as a stabilizing force."
A third Israeli intelligence expert said Sunday that the calls have so far come from the margins of the movement.
"At the moment, it is a few characters who are calling for this. All of them either have ties to that region through Chechnya or have a bone to pick with Russia over their support of the Syrian regime as they fight jihadi groups there," said the intelligence expert, who specializes in covering online extremist Muslim groups for a government-linked company and could not be quoted on the record because he did not have clearance from his company to speak to journalists. "If the Tatars in Crimea take up arms, if there are images of them dying trying to protect their region against the Russian forces there, than we could see this quickly spiral as other jihadi elements look to get involved."
Tatars number around 250,000 in Crimea and make up between 12 and 14% of the peninsula's population.
He pointed to remarks made by several individuals on Twitter trying to rally support:
"On their own, these are still relatively small. But this is the kind of thing we are watching to see if it takes off," the expert said. "Especially among the foreign jihadi groups who have been fighting in Syria, and who have a lot of built up resentment against the Russians."
Russia fought two brutal separatist wars in Chechnya after the fall of the Soviet Union, which attracted Islamist fighters from around the world, many with links to al-Qaeda.
Various Russian officials have accused Kiev's new government of being fascists, and have also sought to link them to Chechen militants. But a widely circulated report yesterday saying that forces inside Ukraine had appealed to Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov for help was later found to be false.

Following his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Known World,
Jones presents a collection of fourteen short stories centered in Washington D.C
- the same location as his first book of short stories, Lost in the City
- a place that he knows well having been born and raised there. All the
stories in Lost in the City take place in a contemporary time frame, but
the stories in All Aunt Hagar's Children encompass the entire 20th
century seen from a range of African-American perspectives.
Like Jones's mother, his characters mainly originate from the rural South and are coping with the urbanization of their lives with varying degrees of success. However, even though most have left to find a better life, many of the older people tend to long for the life they knew when they were young - a time somewhere in the short period following the northern migration of the children and ...
About the author: Over the past 14 years Edward P. Jones has earned more than $500,000 in book prizes (including The PEN/Hemingway Award for Lost in The City and the Pulitzer, National Book Critics Circle Award and Lannan Literary Award for The Known World, plus a MacArthur "genius" grant). In addition, he has published three books, taught fiction at Princeton University, George Mason University, and the University of Maryland and been published in a variety of magazines. However, money is of little interest to him - he lives in a building at the top of Embassy Row in Washington D.C. (having moved from a noisy apartment in Arlington, VA) but despite having lived there for two years, has very little in the way of furniture. When he first moved into his apartment, friends took him shopping but after the third week of couch-hunting he gave up - it was too much ...
