The goal of my proposed research is to investigate the role of dendritic cells in transplant tolerance and furthermore, to potentially modify dendritic cells for use in the induction of tolerance. I am examining the role of microRNA in the tolerogenic properties of dendritic cells in a murine model of cardiac allograft transplantation. Specifically, I study plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC), a subset of DC that have been identified to play a role in tolerance induction. My work expands upon the knowledge that liver allografts are well tolerated and that other solid organ allografts, when transplanted concurrently with livers, show improved allograft outcomes. However, the mechanisms underlying "hepatic tolerance" have yet to be elucidated. My clinical translational work seeks to identify biomarkers of tolerance as well as biomarkers that distinguish patients at risk for rejection or other instability of graft (i.e. infection).

Chronic high Epstein-Barr viral load carriage in pediatric small bowel transplant recipients
2010; 14 (4): 549-553
The development of EBV infection and PTLD is normally associated with a high EBV load in peripheral blood. Often, children undergoing primary or reactivation of EBV infection subsequent to ITx will have chronically elevated EBV loads. To better understand this phenomenon and its consequences, we retrospectively reviewed the records of children who underwent ITx (either isolated or part of multivisceral transplantation) at our center from 1992 to 2007, to identify chronic high EBV load carriers in this population. CHL state was defined as the presence of high load for >50% of samples for greater than or equal to six months following either asymptomatic infection or complete clinical resolution of EBV disease/PTLD. Thirty-five CHL carriers were identified from our patient population. Pretransplant serologies were available on 34 of these patients: 17 were EBV negative and 17 seropositive; one had unknown EBV serostatus prior to transplant. Seven of the 17 seronegative patients developed their CHL carrier state at the time of their primary EBV infection. Thirteen of the 35 (37%) HLC patients developed EBV disease after meeting the definition of high-load carrier states. EBV-related diseases developing in CHL carriers included EBV adenitis (n=1), EBV enteritis (n=7), PTLD (n=4), and EBV+ spindle cell tumor (n=1). Disease was seen in 7/17 of the seronegative (one PTLD) and 6/17 of the seropositive patients (three PTLD). Thirteen of 35 patients (37%) resolved their CHL state without apparent sequelae while nine remain asymptomatic CHL carriers. Three children have had more than one episode of CHL. These data provide important information about the outcome of chronic EBV high-load carriage in pediatric intestinal transplant recipients.

Antigen-presenting cells under the influence of alcohol
2009; 30 (1): 13-22
The negative influence of alcohol (ethanol) and its metabolites on innate and adaptive immunity is well-recognized. Much attention has recently been focused on the impact of acute and chronic alcohol exposure on antigen-presenting cells (APC). In particular, insights have been gained into how the properties of human blood monocytes and rodent macrophages are influenced by alcohol in vitro and in vivo. Here, we review the impact of alcohol on various aspects of APC function and the underlying mechanisms, including its effects on intracellular signaling events. We also discuss new information regarding the influence of alcohol on various APC populations in the liver, a primary site of alcohol metabolism.

Chronic ethanol exposure affects in vivo migration of hepatic dendritic cells to secondary lymphoid tissue
2007; 68 (7): 577-585
The mechanisms by which chronic ethanol (EtOH) consumption results in an immune-compromised state have not been fully elucidated. No studies to date have ascertained whether EtOH affects the migratory capacity of dendritic cells (DC), potent immune regulators. We hypothesized that EtOH exposure might affect hepatic and splenic DC trafficking to secondary lymphoid tissues and the resulting immune response. Hepatic DC from EtOH-treated animals migrated in greater numbers to draining lymphoid tissue than controls, whereas spleen DC were unaffected. Moreover, hepatic EtOH-exposed (E) DC induced more vigorous priming of allogeneic T cells in vivo compared with splenic EDC or controls. Altered hepatic EDC migration was independent of either CCR7 or CD11a expression, with no striking changes in surface expression of other adhesion molecules analyzed. The modified trafficking to secondary lymphoid tissue observed for hepatic EDC may play a role in the altered immune response to microbial pathogens in chronic alcohol users.

Ethanol affects the generation, cosignaling molecule expression, and function of plasmacytoid and myeloid dendritic cell subsets in vitro and in vivo
2006; 79 (5): 941-953
The influence of ethanol (EtOH) on multiple dendritic cell (DC) subsets, in the steady state or following their mobilization in vivo, has not been characterized. Herein, generation of mouse bone marrow-derived DC (BMDC) in response to fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand was inhibited by physiologically relevant concentrations of EtOH with selective suppression of plasmacytoid (p)DC. EtOH reduced surface expression of costimulatory molecules (CD40, CD80, CD86) but not that of coinhibitory CD274 (B7-H1) on resting or CpG-stimulated DC subsets. Interleukin (IL)-12p70 production by activated DC was impaired. Consistent with these findings, EtOH-exposed BMDC exhibited a reduced capacity to induce naïve, allogeneic T cell proliferation and impaired ability to prime T cells in vivo. DC subsets freshly isolated from EtOH-fed mice were also examined. Liver DC, inherently immature and resistant to maturation, exhibited little change in their low surface cosignaling molecule expression, whereas splenic DC showed reduced expression of surface costimulatory molecules in response to CpG stimulation in vivo. These splenic DC elicited reduced naïve, allogeneic T cell proliferation in vitro, and the stimulatory capacity of resting but not CpG-activated liver DC was reduced by chronic EtOH administration. T cells from animals primed with EtOH-exposed DC produced elevated levels of IL-10 following ex vivo challenge with donor alloantigen. Thus, EtOH impairs cytokine-driven differentiation and function of myeloid DC and pDC in vitro. Hepatic DC from chronic EtOH-fed mice are less affected than splenic DC, which exhibit impaired functional maturation following CpG stimulation. These results indicate a potential mechanism by which alcohol consumption is associated with immunosuppression.

Low TLR4 expression by liver dendritic cells correlates with reduced capacity to activate allogeneic T cells in response to endotoxin
2005; 174 (4): 2037-2045
Signaling via TLRs results in dendritic cell (DC) activation/maturation and plays a critical role in the outcome of primary immune responses. So far, no data exist concerning TLR expression by liver DC, generally regarded as less immunostimulatory than secondary lymphoid tissue DC. Because the liver lies directly downstream from the gut, it is constantly exposed to bacterial LPS, a TLR4 ligand. We examined TLR4 expression by freshly isolated, flow-sorted C57BL/10 mouse liver DC compared with spleen DC. Real-time PCR revealed that liver CD11c+CD8alpha- (myeloid) and CD11c+CD8alpha+ ("lymphoid-related") DC expressed lower TLR4 mRNA compared with their splenic counterparts. Lower TLR4 expression correlated with reduced capacity of LPS (10 ng/ml) but not anti-CD40-stimulated liver DC to induce naive allogeneic (C3H/HeJ) T cell proliferation. By contrast to LPS-stimulated splenic DC, these LPS-activated hepatic DC induced alloantigen-specific T cell hyporesponsiveness in vitro, correlated with deficient Th1 (IFN-gamma) and Th2 (IL-4) responses. When higher LPS concentrations (> or =100 ng/ml) were tested, the capacity of liver DC to induce proliferation of T cells and Th1-type responses was enhanced, but remained inferior to that of splenic DC. Hepatic DC activated by LPS in vivo were inferior allogeneic T cell stimulators compared with splenic DC, whereas adoptive transfer of LPS-stimulated (10 ng/ml) liver DC induced skewing toward Th2 responses. These data suggest that comparatively low expression of TLR4 by liver DC may limit their response to specific ligands, resulting in reduced or altered activation of hepatic adaptive immune responses.

Disparate ability of murine CD8 alpha(-) and CD8 alpha(+) dendritic cell subsets to traverse endothelium is not determined by differential CD11b expression
2004; 113 (3): 328-337
Upon Ag uptake and response to maturation stimuli, dendritic cells (DC) are directed through lymphatic or blood vessel endothelium to T cell areas of secondary lymphoid tissues by the constitutively expressed CC chemokines CCL19 and CCL21. We have shown that mature (m) murine CD8alpha+ DC exhibit poorer migratory ability to these chemokines than classic CD8alpha- DC by quantifying their in vitro chemotaxis through unmodified Transwell filters. We hypothesized that lower surface expression (compared to CD8alpha- mDC) of the adhesion molecule CD11b on CD8alpha+ DC might limit their ability to adhere to filter pores in vitro and/or endothelium in vitro/in vivo. To test the role of this and/or other adhesion molecules (CD11a, CD31, CD54 and CD62L) in regulating murine DC subset migration, we used specific mAbs to block their function and quantified their migration through resting or tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-activated endothelial cell (EC) layered-Transwell filters. Both CD8alpha+ and CD8alpha- subsets migrated through resting EC (albeit less than in the absence of EC) in response to CCL19 and CCL21, and migration through TNF-alpha-activated EC was enhanced. In contrast to reports concerning human DC, transendothelial migration of the murine DC subsets was not dependent on CD11b, CD31, or CD62L expression by these cells. CD54 and CD11a, however, were at least partly involved in DC/EC interactions. This is the first report to examine adhesion molecules involved in transendothelial migration of murine DC subsets.

Comparative evaluation of CC chemokine-induced migration of murine CD8 alpha(+) and CD8 alpha(-) dendritic cells and their in vivo trafficking
2004; 75 (2): 275-285
Murine CD11c(+)CD8alpha(-) and CD11c(+)CD8alpha(+) dendritic cells (DCs) differentially regulate T cell responses. Although specific chemokines that recruit immature (i) or mature (m) CD8alpha(-) DCs have been identified, little is known about the influence of chemokines on CD8alpha(+) DCs. iDCs and mDCs isolated from spleens of fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand-treated B10 mice were compared directly for migratory responses to a panel of CC chemokines or following local or systemic administration. In vitro assays were performed using Transwell(R) chambers. iDCs did not respond to any CC chemokines tested. Both subsets of mDCs migrated to CCL19 and CCL21, with consistently lower percentages of CD8alpha(+) DCs migrating. Chemokine receptor mRNA and protein expression were analyzed, but no correlation between expression and function was demonstrated. In vivo trafficking of fluorochrome-labeled DCs (B10; H2(b)) was assessed by immunohistochemistry and by rare-event flow cytometric analysis of allogeneic recipient (BALB/c; H2(d)) draining lymph node (DLN) and spleen cells. Twenty-four hours after intravenous injection, chloromethylfluorescein diacetate-positive CD8alpha(+) and CD8alpha(-) mDCs were detected by immunohistochemistry in spleens in similar numbers (that decreased over time). Following subcutaneous injection, both DC subsets were detected in DLN at 24 h, but only CD8alpha(-) DCs were evident by flow analysis at 48 h. Although CD8alpha(+) DCs migrate from peripheral tissues to T cell areas of (allogeneic) secondary lymphoid organs, they appear to mobilize as mDCs and less efficiently than CD8alpha(-) mDCs.

Effects of docosapentaenoic acid on neuronal apoptosis
2003; 38 (4): 453-457
We previously established that n-3 FA status in membrane phospholipids influences the biosynthesis and accumulation of PS in neuronal tissues. We also demonstrated that neuronal apoptosis under adverse conditions is prevented by DHA enrichment in a PS-dependent manner. In this study, we examined the effect of a structural analog of DHA, docosapentaenoic acid (22:5n-6, DPA), which accumulates in neuronal membranes during n-3 FA deficiency. We observed that enrichment of neuronal cells with DPA increased the total PS content in comparison to nonenriched control. However, the increase was significantly less than that observed in DHA-enriched cells, primarily due to the fact that the 18:0,22:5n-6 species was not accumulated as effectively as 18:0,22:6n-3 in PS. As was the case with DHA, DPA enrichment also protected against cell death induced by staurosporine treatment in Neuro 2A cells, but to a lesser extent. These data indicate that provision of DPA in place of DHA is sufficient neither for fully supporting PS accumulation nor for cell survival. The in vitro interaction between Raf-1 and membrane was affected not only by the PS content but also by the fatty acyl composition in PS. The reduction of PS concentration as well as the substitution of 18:0,22:6 with 16:0,18:1 in the liposome considerably reduced the interaction with Raf-1. These data suggest that depletion of DHA from neuronal tissues may have a compounding effect on Raf-1 translocation in growth factor signaling. The fact that DPA cannot fully support the protective role played by DHA may provide a basis for the adverse effect of n-3 FA deficiency on neuronal development and function.

Dendritic cells and immune regulation in the liver
2003; 52 (2): 307-314
Hepatic dendritic cells (DC) unquestionably play important roles in the induction and regulation of immune responses. Due to their paucity, functional characterisation of these important antigen presenting cells has been slow but use of DC growth factors (in particular GM-CSF and Flt3L) that markedly enhance their numbers has proved helpful in furnishing adequate study material. While there is growing evidence that DC function is affected in the pathogenesis of liver disease, most work to date has been performed on non-hepatic DC. Increasing knowledge of hepatic DC biology is likely to improve our understanding of disease pathogenesis and resistance to and therapy of liver disease.

Inhibition of neuronal apoptosis by docosahexaenoic acid (22 : 6n-3) - Role of phosphatidylserine in antiapoptotic effect
2000; 275 (45): 35215-35223
Enrichment of Neuro 2A cells with docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) decreased apoptotic cell death induced by serum starvation as evidenced by the reduced DNA fragmentation and caspase-3 activity. The protective effect of 22:6n-3 became evident only after at least 24 h of enrichment before serum starvation and was potentiated as a function of the enrichment period. During enrichment 22:6n-3 incorporated into phosphatidylserine (PS) steadily, resulting in a significant increase in the total PS content. Similar treatment with oleic acid (18:1n-9) neither altered PS content nor resulted in protective effect. Hindering PS accumulation by enriching cells in a serine-free medium diminished the protective effect of 22:6n-3. Membrane translocation of Raf-1 was significantly enhanced by 22:6n-3 enrichment in Neuro 2A cells. Consistently, in vitro biomolecular interaction between PS/phosphatidylethanolamine /phosphatidylcholine liposomes, and Raf-1 increased in a PS concentration-dependent manner. Collectively, enrichment of neuronal cells with 22:6n-3 increases the PS content and Raf-1 translocation, down-regulates caspase-3 activity, and prevents apoptotic cell death. Both the antiapoptotic effect of 22:6n-3 and Raf-1 translocation are sensitive to 22:6n-3 enrichment-induced PS accumulation, strongly suggesting that the protective effect of 22:6n-3 may be mediated at least in part through the promoted accumulation of PS in neuronal membranes.

New Bluetooth Headset Gives You Bionic Hearing
Sound ID just came out with a new Bluetooth headset (the Sound ID 400) with all sorts of funky features that could give people the impression that you can actually hear anything said, anywhere.
First off, there's "PersonalSound." You get three "custom hearing choices" in addition to automatic volume control. That means you can set three different volume levels as your defaults - a bit louder for when the kids are playing in the next room, a bit softer for when you have some time to yourself, perhaps. There's also automatic volume control so when you're driving and the person on the other end of the line suddenly turns into a low talker, you should be able to hear them without having to fumble for the volume.
Got that?
Next, there's "Environmental Mode," which lets you leave your headset on and still hold regular conversations with people without having to yell, "What?" every three seconds. When the headset's in that mode, "the hearing ablity is enhanced and soft sounds can be heard." SoundID describes it as "hear-through" technology, i.e., that you can hear through the headset. So you'll never have to take the headset off ever again?
Add to that "NoiseNavigation," which is supposed to cut down wind noise and other background clutter. So if you call your babysitter from a cocktail party, she should be be able to hear you through all the chatter and clinking champagne glasses.
Sound ID also makes the CompanionLink Remote Microphone, and this is the first telephone headset compatible with it. It's a teensy clip-on microphone that allows you to use the headset as a receiver and hear conversations from across the room. It's like Spy v. Spy.
The 400 will be available soon (quarter 4, which starts next month) for $129.99 or thereabouts. It comes with a Universal AC charger, USB charging cable, three sizes of ear loops and an ear hook. The CompanionLink microphone will be available for $79.99.
Sound ID 400 specs:
- Weight: 8 grams (0.28 ounces)
- Dimensios: 53.5 x 15.5 x 7.5 millimeters (2.1 x 0.6 x 0.3 inches)
- Battery life: Up to 7 hours talk time, 200 hours (8 days) standby
- Technology: Bluetooth version 2.1+ EDR and eSCO improves the transmission sound quality and is compatible with earlier versions of Bluetooth
- Weight: 8 grams (0.28 ounces)
- Dimensions: 53.5 x 15.5 x 7.5 millimeters (2.1 x 0.6 x 0.3 inches)
- Battery Life: Up to 10 hours
- Bluetooth Radio: Wide band with a range of up to 30 feet line-of-sight
- Automatically pairs with the Sound ID 400 headset

Radical Islamist Group Al Shabaab Calls for Terror Attack at Mall in the United States, Naming the Mall of America in MN (Also Malls in Canada & UK) in New Video
Radical Islamic terror group Al-Shabaab has released a video calling for attacks on the Mall of America, in Bloomington, Minnesota. The Al Shabaab video also called for terror attacks at shopping malls in Canada, and the UK, specifically naming the West Edmonton Mall in Canada and the Oxford Street shopping area in London. Al Shabaab is a Somali terrorist group affiliated with al Qaeda. These are the same Islamo-Nazis that were responsible for the 2013 Westgate Mall terror attack in Nairobi, Kenya, that killed more than 60 people.
Imagine that, the radical Islamists want to attack malls … maybe Barack Obama and State Dept. spokesperson Marie Harf can get the jihadists jobs at the Mall of the Americas so that they will turn away from radical Islam. [Sarcasm intended].
A new video from Al Shabaab purportedly shows the terror group calling for an attack on Mall of America, in Bloomington, Minn.
According to Fox 9, the mall is one of three similar targets the terror group specifically names, including West Edmonton Mall in Canada and the Oxford Street shopping area in London.
The video purportedly shows 6 minutes of graphic images and the terrorists celebrating the 2013 Westgate Mall attack in Nairobi, Kenya, that killed more than 60 people.
"We will continue to monitor events with the help of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies," Mall of America said in a statement. "As always, we take any potential threat seriously and respond appropriately. Mall of America has implemented extra security precautions, some may be noticeable to guests, and others won't be. We will continue to follow the situation, along with law enforcement, and will remain vigilant as we always do in similar situations."
CNN, 'State of the Union' - Homeland Security Sec. Johnson discusses Al Shabab terror threats
Malls response to terrorist threat videos:
In its new video, it calls for similar attacks on malls in the three Western countries. Al-Shabaab identified specific malls, but CNN will not list them unless they respond publicly.
Mall of America said it's aware of the video listing it as a potential target.
"We take any potential threat seriously and respond appropriately," the Minnesota mall said in a statement. "We have implemented extra security precautions, some may be noticeable to guests and others won't be."
The West Edmonton Mall in Alberta, Canada, which was also listed, said it has implemented extra security and is working with federal and local law enforcement agencies.
U.S. officials said they're aware of the threats and urged mall shoppers to be vigilant.
UPDATE I: West Edmonton Mall named in al-Shabaab video as possible target.
Alberta RCMP Staff Sgt. Brent Meyer said the force is aware of the report of a possible threat and is investigating. According to a statement from the mall, the "West Edmonton Mall has implemented extra security precautions; some may be noticeable to guests, and others won't be.
The al-Qaeda-linked group al-Shabaab appears to call on followers to attack shopping malls in the United States, U.K., France, and Canada and has released a video naming West Edmonton Mall as a possible target.
Close to the end of the nearly 77-minute video, a masked man with an English accent calls on "Muslim brothers to target the disbelievers wherever they are" and lists a number of shopping centres that could be attacked in the West.
"If just a handful of mujahedeen fighters could bring Kenya to a complete standstill for nearly a week, then imagine what a dedicated mujahedeen in the West could do to the American or Jewish-owned shopping centres across the world," the man says.
"What if such an attack was to occur in the Mall of America in Minnesota, or the West Edmonton Mall in Canada, or in London's Oxford Street, or any of the hundred or so Jewish-owned Westfield shopping centres dotted right across the western world?" he continues.
Other malls listed in the video include two in Paris, Les Quatre Temps and Forum des Halles.

Speaker John Boehner Invites Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu to Address Joint Session of Congress Regarding Iran
Let's give Speaker John Boehner credit, where credit is due … Good for you Boehner, Feels good to do the right thing for America, doesn't it?
Speaker of the House, John Boehner (R-OH), invites Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak before a joint session of Congress next month on February 11 to discussing Iran, further sanctions against them and the threat that a nuclear Iran poses to the world. Boehner said in a private meeting of GOP lawmakers that Congress would proceed on further penalties against Iran despite Obama's warning, "[Obama] expects us to stand idly by and do nothing while he cuts a bad deal with Iran. Two words: 'Hell no!' We're going to do no such thing." It is about time the GOP has stood up to this imperial president. This is why the voters have put in place a Republican House and Senate, to block the far left and dangerous policies and agenda of Barack Obama. This all has to do with Obama threats and threats of a veto if the Congress passes further sanctions against Iran. However, there is wide bi-partisan support in favor of sanctions as Democrats are on board with protected America against Iran.
What is the Obama's White House issue … a breech of protocol and poking Obama in the eye. Breach of protocol. are you serious? Wasn't this the same White House that solicited British Prime Minister David Cameron to call US politicians on this very same topic of sanctions against Iran? Isn't it amazing that Obama and his lackeys are more interested in protocol and Obama's feelings than US national and world security.
Boehner Invites Netanyahu to Address Congress
"The Congress can make its decision on its own" — but he also insisted, "I don't believe I'm poking anyone in the eye."
"There is a serious threat that exists in the world, and the president last night kind of papered over it," Boehner said.
"And the fact is is that there needs to be a more serious conversation in America about how serious the threat is from radical Islamic jihadists and the threat posed by Iran."
Speaker of the House – John Boehner:
"Prime Minister Netanyahu is a great friend of our country, and this invitation carries with it our unwavering commitment to the security and well-being of his people," Boehner said. "In this time of challenge, I am asking the Prime Minister to address Congress on the grave threats radical Islam and Iran pose to our security and way of life. Americans and Israelis have always stood together in shared cause and common ideals, and now we must rise to the moment again."
White House spokesman Josh Earnest responded to the news with the following. Ha, the Obama WH is worried about protocol, maybe they should concern themselves more with the US Constitution.
"The typical protocol would suggest that the leader of a country would contact the leader of another country when he's traveling there," said White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest. "That certainly is how President Obama's trips are planned when he travels overseas. This particular event seems to be a departure from that protocol."
Earnest said the White House was made aware of the invitation before Boehner's office released a letter dated Jan. 21 inviting Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress on Feb. 11.

Barack Obama Lets Four More Gitmo Detainees Go … This Time Sends 4 Back to Afghanistan
One way or another, whether it is in the best interest of United States security or not, Barack Obama will let all the detainees out of GITMO before he leaves the White House. Obama's latest efforts just released 4 detainees back to Afghanistan. Don't worry though, it is not like 168 of the GITMO detainees released return to terrorist. Oh wait, they do. But what does Obama care. He is going to do anything he damn well pleases in his final years as president because we have gutless Republican leadership who stand for nothing and have the spine of a jellyfish.
The Pentagon on Saturday announced that it had transferred four detainees from the Guantanamo Bay prison facility back to their home country of Afghanistan.
The Defense Department said all four men had been "unanimously approved for transfer" by the president's interagency Guantanamo Review Task Force, which examines the possible security ramifications of releasing prisoners from the facility.
The transfers will bring the prison's population down to 131, with 63 of the remaining detainees already cleared for removal.
The president has made closing the controversial facility a top priority in the final years of his presidency, and summoned senior administration officials to the White House last month to complain about the pace of efforts to close the detention center.
The meeting was seen largely as a message to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, who the White House believed was dragging his feet in signing off on guarantees that the five upcoming transferees did not pose a security threat, according to the wire service.. There's speculation that Hagel's resistance played a role in the president's decision to remove the Pentagon chief, who announced his intention to resign last month.
Obama stressed to the officials that he wanted action on efforts to shutter the controversial facility. The president pledged in his 2008 campaign that he would close the prison, and has come under fire from critics on the left for failing to achieve that goal.

Hillary Clinton Says, We Must Show Respect and Empathize With America's Enemies
Former Secretary of State, former US Senator of New York and former First Lady Hillary Clinton says that "Smart power" also includes "showing respect even for one's enemies. Trying to understand … empathize with their perspective and point of view." What Hillary Clinton calls smart power, others who actually like America and its freedoms and liberties call ignorant, foolish and naive utopian liberal BS. It is no wonder that Hillary accomplished nothing as Secretary of State except get frequent flier miles.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that women should play larger roles in conflict resolution and military efforts around the globe and that "smart power" includes empathizing and showing respect, even for one's enemies, as the United States confronts a host of challenges on the world stage.
Lt. Col. Oliver North appeared 'On the Record' with Greta Van Susteran said oh Hillary's comments, "those words coming out of some one who intends to be commander and chief are not just naive and utopian, it's irrational." As Col. North pointed out when Greta tried to make excuses for Hillary about being taken out of context, Hillary was looking down at her notes and reading, not making an off the cuff comment. This is the underlying belief of progressives and liberals, we must understand why and empathize with our enemies because we must be to blame. Case in point, Obama apology tour when he first became president.
Transcript from The Weekly Standard:
"This is what we call smart power," Clinton said to a small audience at Georgetown. "Using every possible tool and partner to advance peace and security. Leaving no one on the sidelines. Showing respect even for one's enemies. Trying to understand, in so far as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view. Helping to define the problems, determine the solutions. That is what we believe in the 21st century will change — change the prospects for peace.
So are we supposed to respect and empathize with ISIS, al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Muslim Brotherhood and maybe Boko Haram? How about the terrorists who attacked the Libyan consulate in Benghazi and murdered Ambassador Stevens? How about those that would chop off the heads of innocents? Maybe Hillary would like to explain herself? But in the end, what difference would it make?

This review is from: Rosewill RX850-S-B - Xtreme Series 850-Watt Active PFC Power Supply - Continuous @ 104 Deg. F (40C), 80 PLUS Bronze, ATX 12V v2.2 & EPS 12V v2.91, SLI & CrossFire-Ready, Compatible with Core i7, i5
Pros: Decent amount of power for a decent price. Will power most(all?) non-SLI/CF rigs.
Cons: Not modular. Strange exterior housing(nickel plated or something, gives off crystal clear reflections).
Other Thoughts: In my hurry to find a temporary PSU for my defunct Silverstone PSU, I dodn't realise this IS NOT MODULAR! It also doesn't have any 8-pin PCI-E connectors, but two 6->8 pins converters. Not the products fault though, as I ordered it in a hurry without really looking at the specs.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: SILVERSTONE Strider Gold ST1000-G 1000W ATX 12V v2.3 / EPS 12V 80 PLUS GOLD Certified 100% Modular, Active PFC Power Supply
Pros: Awesome PSU while it worked. Good amount of cables at just the right lengths to use in large mid-tower to full tower cases. Silent, quality fan that kept PSU sufficiently cooled.
Cons: No power button.
Unit died after ~ 1 month of use(literally the day after NewEgg RMA period expired). It now makes an odd zapping noise when I plug it in. Attempted to apply for RMA multiple times and company is completely nonresponsive. Waste of money since customer service can't match the product.
Other Thoughts: If you google SilverStone RMA process it seems other people have trouble with it too. It's a pity, because from the reviews I've read they make high quality, long lasting products.READ FULL REVIEW

- //Jennifer Lee
Jennifer Lee is a complete jazz musician. She sings with bebop precision and affecting feeling, she plays both piano and guitar with a comprehensive knowledge of jazz harmony, and she has a huge repertoire of standards, Brazilian bossas, little known classics, and original songs. You might argue, in fact, that she's a Bay Area Diana Krall.
Except for one thing: she's not famous. Not even close. She's not even married to Elvis Costello. She's just very, very good.
Almost There, Yet So Far Away
Two months ago, Jennifer Lee played for the first time at Yoshi's, the top jazz club in the Bay Area. "It was better than I imagined it—a full house with so many people from all my different communities. I usually have to shake off some nervousness, but at Yoshi's I was comfortable from the start." After a long road, including making her sterling new recording Quiet Joy, she experienced one of what should be a string of highlights to come.
So, Lee is talented and smart and well down the road as an artist. She has two full-length recordings independently on the market and a Yoshi's gig on her resumé. But she is at a crossroads. What do you do next to get bigger audiences, to let your music—and we're talking about straight-up jazz here and not some Norah Jones-y hybrid that might just make you a million dollars if the right person at Starbucks Corp. falls in love with it—flower?
It is not clear that Jennifer Lee—or that anyone in her position—has a foolproof plan. "I don't have a specific plan," she admit. "It has a been a gradual process for me to feel confident that I belonged on that stage at Yoshi's. I finally feel that I've got something special to say. I don't have a goal of being famous, but if getting some notoriety allows me to get concert gigs and get people there, playing and making music so that all that energy is there from the audience—that's my goal."
The Freedom to Sing
Lee's story, like so many others, begins with her mom and dad. Her mom made sure she received the critical music lessons she needed, and her father's criticism of her as a child first held her back and then let her go.
Lee took traditional piano lessons from the age of five, but they didn't last. On a family trip to Mexico when she was eight, her parents agreed to buy her one thing. "I wanted a guitar. At which point I thought, 'The heck with the piano!' My mom got a teacher for me who taught me the basic folk chords. Then as a freshman in high school I started taking piano lessons again and told my mom I wanted to play jazz."
Her mother also supplied crucial inspiration, as she owned several classic jazz records and tapes that the young Lee found captivating. "I loved them: Dakota Staton and George Shearing, the Stan Getz bossa-nova discs, the Modern Jazz Quartet playing The King and I, the soundtrack for A Man and a Woman." Lee was exposed to classic jazz and seminal adaptations of Brazilian music, and so a life's trajectory in music was set. The teen-aged Jennifer Lee got a teacher for the basics of jazz harmony, she applied this to her guitar as well as the piano, and she played in jazz bands in high school and then junior college.
What she didn't do, however, was sing in public.
"I started singing when I got my guitar, and I knew then that singing brought me the most joy in the world. When I started taking jazz piano, I started singing a tiny bit and accompanying myself. But I was just a closet singer—I would not open my mouth unless I thought I was totally alone. I was terrified of singing in front of people."
Lee had stopped pursuing music in her early 20s. She went to the University of Massachusetts, Amherst for an art degree, then finished up at home in San Jose because her father had become sick. Eventually, she was taking care of him full-time. "I was still scared of singing, and I was not confident enough about my piano playing then either—I just did not feel I would ever be good enough.
"When my father died at only 51-years-old, it was the catalyst for me. I realized that I'd better do what I want to do, as you never know how much time you have left."
And her father's death released her not only from a full-time pursuit but also from her fear. "Some of my reluctant feeling about singing was tied to my relationship with my father, who used to tell me to keep my mouth shut and would get me in very big trouble if I didn't. His death freed me up—I lost my fear of his judgment."
A Late Apprenticeship in Learning the Joy
With a new goal, Jennifer Lee made progress, taking whatever gigs she could get. "If it was some ratty little bar somewhere, I didn't care. The self-expression had been building up in me for years. I thought, if I can sing in some little place, that will be cool. I was almost 30, but I thought, 'I'm going to be a singer. Yeah, jazz is the thing for me.'"
While she waitressed for a while and then did copy-editing work, she soon had some steady singing work, too. "I sang at a Starbucks in San Francisco and then at some nice restaurants. Eventually I became the house singer at the Ritz Carlton for four-five years. The money was better, it was steady, and I got lots of other casual gigs through meeting people at the hotel. I learned a lot doing that.
"But during that time there was some feeling of—'Is this all there is?' But there was also the terror of losing the gig. And, of course, that eventually happened. With 9/11, the hotel cut way back—first we lost our bassist, then they went to just solo piano."
Lee tells stories of a million other gigs at parties or other occasions where few people may have been listening and where she was all alone with her voice and her instrument. "When I first started doing solo gigs, playing piano and singing on my own, it felt lonely. But I realized I could have a joyful experience playing on my own. If I can get totally present and just be the music, and get out of my head, thinking about what I'm doing—that is another joyful experience making music."
Eventually, she would emerge ready to record.

text: Queen Elizabeth's Castles Are Crumbling and She's Low on Ready CashKelly Faircloth1/28/14 6:31pmFiled to: royalsqueen elizabethbuckingham palacehouse of commonsbudgetswindsor castle1011EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Bad news, royal watchers: Queen Elizabeth's houses are practically falling down around her ears, and her emergency reserve is down to a mere mil. This is just like the time I had to save up to have my living room rug professionally cleaned! Advertisement According to the AP, that's the conclusion reached by the House of Commons' Public Accounts Committee. (The NERVE of those non-aristos!) They say at least 39 percent of royal buildings are not in "acceptable condition," with "some properties in a dangerous or deteriorating condition." For instance: "The boiler in Buckingham Palace is 60 years old," committee chair Margaret Hodge told the BBC. "The household must get a much firmer grip on how it plans to address its maintenance backlog."Now, as anyone who's watched an episode of Downton knows, it takes deep-ass pockets to maintain one mouldering ancestral pile, much less an entire portfolio. And to be fair to the Queen and her spending habits, the woman did buy the material for her wedding dress with rationing coupons. Advertisement But the queen and her household got £31 million in "Sovereign Grant" money in 2012-2013 (which comes from the Crown Estates, i.e. holdings like farmland), meant for official duties like travel and home maintenance. They spent that, plus £11.6 million in revenue from sources like visits to the palace, AND her emergency reserve withered from £3.3 million to £1 million. That means they'll be cutting it awfully close if, say, the pipes burst somewhere in Windsor Castle. Perhaps part of the problem? The queen's household staff hovers around 430 people. Hodge urged the Queen's advisors to "to do more with less," as well as—brace yourselves—think more in terms of TRADE:"We think a little bit of a more commercial approach by those who are responsible for serving the queen would serve her better in garnering more income," Hodge said.For us commoners, it's clear what that would mean: reality TV. In the hopes of forestalling that indignity, we have a few suggestions for moneymaking enterprises: Sponsored A Windsor-branded capsule collection for Barbour Start distributing shit made by the Duchy of Cornwall—in Anthropologie, complete with shocking markup Give the corgis their own Animal Planet franchise Two words: Antiques RoadshowOf course, none of this really accounts for Queen Elizabeth's personal coffers, which are quite flush. So if the bathrooms in Buckingham Palace explode, she could cover the cost of cleaning up the sewage herself. But that would be SILLY.

Credit information quality and corporate debt maturity : theory and evidence
This paper provides new theoretical and empirical evidence suggesting that the quality of credit information may be a key element in explaining the maturity structure of corporate debt around the world. In markets with poor credit information and hence a high degree of uncertainty about borrower quality, the authors find suboptimal equilibria in which short-term contracts are preferred either as a hedge against uncertainty to limit losses in bad states (in the symmetric information case) or as a screening device to learn about borrower credit quality in the course of a repeated lending relationship (in the asymmetric information case). The results of the model are supported by the econometric analysis of panel data from both industrial and developing economies. The authors find that countries with better quality of credit information (for example, as a result of improvements in credit reporting systems or accounting standards) are characterized by a higher share of long-term debt as a proportion of total corporate debt ceteris paribus. The findings suggest that promoting institutions and policies to improve the quality of credit information is an important prerequisite for increasing access of firms to long-term finance.

Industrial Revolution in National Context by Mikulas Teich
Book DescriptionThe Industrial Revolution has been, and continues to be, the focus of massive historiographical as well as historical inquiry. This collection includes reappraisals by Phyllis Deane and by Francois Crouzet of their classic accounts of industrialisation in Britain and in France, and more generally broaches the wider issue of 'new approaches' which have been emerging for the understanding of the industrialising process in nations where it came somewhat later. In addition to grappling with questions of technical skills, economic analysis and the process of industrialisation, the authors also tackle questions of national politics and international relations. In addition to the roster of authors who examine individual national experiences, a general essay by Sidney Pollard takes into account the relative contributions of the distinct national experiences in western and eastern Europe, the USA and Japan, and assesses them as special cases of a more general phenomenon.

Two area women killed in head-on collision

GAINESVILLE/WALDO – A head-on collision at the 6900 block of Northeast 39th Avenue resulted in the death of two area women on Sunday, Sept. 18.
The Gainesville Police Department (GPD) received multiple reports of a serious crash at 6:40 p.m. An Alachua County Sheriff's Office deputy arrived on the scene as the calls came in. Initial reports indicated that a head-on collision had occurred with one person ejected from a vehicle.
A preliminary investigation revealed that a 2010 gray Toyota Corolla, driven by 28-year-old Brittany Nichole Griswell, Gainesville, was westbound on Northeast 39th Avenue. She was in a long curve east of Gainesville Regional Airport when her vehicle left the roadway. Griswell over-corrected, went back onto the roadway and lost control of her car.
Griswell's car continued westbound into the eastbound lane and struck a 2015 grey Nissan Sentra, driven by 52-year-old Drenda Dale Weaver of Waldo, head-on. Weaver was pronounced dead at the scene.
Griswell was ejected from her vehicle and was transported to a local hospital in very serious condition. "Griswell did not make it through the night and passed away," said GPD Officer Ben Tobias late Monday night.
A full Traffic Homicide Investigation is ongoing. "It is unknown at this time if drugs or alcohol were involved," said Tobias.

Newberry Man Dies in Single-Vehicle Crash

NEWBERRY – A 48-year-old Newberry man lost his life late Saturday evening in a single-vehicle accident.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) report, Tracy Eugene Tindall was driving his white 2005 Ford F-150 pick-up truck, traveling north on U.S. Highway 27, four miles south of Newberry, at 10:45 p.m.
For unknown reasons, Tindall's truck veered off the roadway onto the left (westernmost) sloped shoulder where its front left side side-swiped a large tree, impacting the entire left side of the vehicle's cab and encroaching heavily into the driver's side door and truck compartment, tearing the door off the frame.
The truck was then induced into a sharp, counter-clockwise rotation, where it then came to rest in the adjacent tree line.
During the course of the rotation, Tindall's unbelted body was partially ejected from the compromised driver's side door, and was found adjacent to it.
Alachua County Fire Rescue responded to the scene of the collision and pronounced Tindall dead upon their arrival. The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
At this time, FHP has not determined whether alcohol was a factor in the crash.

Camp Kulaquqa Connecting to City Sewer

A check for Phase 1 of the $50,000 grant for the upgrades to the Walter Howard Park was presented to the City of High Springs. L-R: High Springs City Manager Ed Booth, Vice-Mayor Gloria James, O'Leno State Park Manager George Paxton (holding check) and High Springs Recreation Director Robert Basford.
HIGH SPRINGS – O'Leno State Park Manager George Paxton was on hand at Thursday's High Springs City Commission Meeting to present a check for $50,000 from the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP). The grant is for Phase 1 of the Walter Howard Park upgrades.
In other city business, the City's Building Inspector, Scott Thomason, introduced some minor changes to the Code of Ordinances to update some of the fees for the Building Department's services. Although the changes are "modest," Thomason hopes they will bring High Springs in line with some of the other municipalities in the region with similar populations.
"We want to make sure our department is self-sustaining," said Thomason. "There are some services we provide that needed to be clarified, and we have hopefully done that with this new list of updated municipal fees."
There are no fee increases associated with fire inspection services at this time, said Thomason.
Builders should be able to apply and pay on line for the services they want from the City's Building Department soon.
"Our software company is working on this and we hope to have it operational in the next couple of weeks," said Thomason. It is expected to help streamline the department's ability to serve the builders in that community.
Commissioners approved a contract to continue to have Carol Rowan manage the Farmers' Market for another year.
Mittauer & Associates, Inc. received a thumbs-up from commissioners to design, permit and construct a pump station and install a force main to connect Camp Kulaqua to the City's wastewater system. A Suwannee River Water Management District grant in the amount of $250,000 has been awarded for this project. Mittauer is expected to receive approximately $50,000 for their portion of the work.

Upgrades on Tap for Newberry's Fire Station
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 14 September 2016 11:15
- Written by CM WALKER
- Hits: 944
NEWBERRY – Upgrades to the City of Newberry's fire station received approval at the Aug. 22 commission meeting following a presentation by Facilities Supervisor Travis Parker.
Parker said the main changes included the addition of an ambulance bay and modifications to the sleeping quarters.
Other changes include relocation of the fire chief's office, and in future, that space will be the office and sleeping quarters for the lieutenant. Currently, the open sleeping quarters area has room for four beds. Renovations will increase the bed capacity to five and allow for more privacy.
The changes are expected to increase the overall size of the facility to 2,270 sq. ft., including the ambulance bay.
In an effort to move the project along, Parker told commissioners he already advertised for bid, but said he could add any changes the commission might want to make. Hearing no changes, the plans will move ahead to a bid opening Sept. 14 and a request for acceptance of the winning bid at the commission meeting of Sept. 26.
Parker estimated it will take 180 days for construction, which means the project should be completed by late March 2017.
The City's firefighters have offered to perform some of the construction work to help save the City time and money in updating the facility, said City Manager Mike New. "Who knew we had so many contractors working as firefighters," he said with a chuckle.
The ambulance bay is estimated to cost approximately $70,000, with the balance of the fire station renovations estimated at $215,000, said New.

ALACHUA – An Alachua man was killed in a two-vehicle crash late Friday night at the intersection of County Road 225 and County Road 1475, according to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP).
The crash killed 30-year-old Christopher Thomashunis of Alachua, who was a passenger in a 2015 Hyundai Sonata driven by 31-year-old Luisa Adams. Other passengers were two one-year-old children. All individuals in the vehicle were from Alachua.
Adams was taken to UF Shands Emergency in serious condition and the children were taken to UF Shands Pediatric Emergency Room, also in serious condition. Christopher Thomashunis was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 18-year-old driver of the other vehicle involved in the crash, Chase Pinner, of Middleburg, Florida, also suffered injuries and was taken to UF Shands Emergency in serious condition.
According to FHP, Pinner was driving a 2002 Nissan pickup south on County Road 1475 approaching the intersection of County Road 225. The Hyundai Sonata driven by Adams was traveling west on County Road 225 approaching the intersection of County Road 1475. The front portion of Pinner's pickup collided with the right portion of Adams' Sonata.
Everyone in the Hyundai Sonata were either wearing seat belts or in car seats. It was not clear whether Pinner was wearing a seat belt.
The FHP report indicates the crash was not alcohol related, but the accident is still under investigation.Add a comment Add a comment

Amid rumours of the imminent resignation of the Prime Minister, Alain Juppe, the French franc came under attack yesterday and prices fell on the Paris stock exchange.
Mr Juppe denied the rumours last night, and said he and his son would move out of apartments owned by the city of Paris which have been the subject of a judicial investigation of allegations Mr Juppe abused power to lower rent or pay for renovations. "My children have or will move in the coming weeks and I will do the same to turn the page which is for me a deep wound," he said.
It was not clear what effect, if any, the move would have on the investigation of his actions while assistant Paris mayor in charge of finances from 1989 to 1993.
The rumours were prompted by the disclosure that police had opened a preliminary inquiry into possible abuse by Mr Juppe of his position to allocate himself a luxury flat belonging to the city of Paris, and to reduce the rent of another city-owned flat let to his son.
At this stage the affair stops short of being a major scandal but it is proving embarrassing and damaging to the Prime Minister. The political rumour mill has begun to grind out names of possible successors in the unlikely event that President Jacques Chirac feels able to do without Mr Juppe.
A collapse in support for the Prime Minister was confirmed by three opinion polls yesterday which showed that, in the space of a month, backing for Mr Juppe had fallen by 21 percentage points in one poll, 18 in a second poll and 16 in a third. They provided little comfort for Mr Chirac, whose own standing fell by 10, 11 and 13 points in the surveys.
Although tax increases, a public-sector wage freeze and disappointment over the failure of the government to achieve early economic success lie behind the steady drop in the two men's ratings, Mr Juppe is being further damaged by the controversy about the use of city-owned housing. He appeared to have beaten back one legal challenge arising from revelations that he reduced the rent of a flat let to his son Laurent, by Fr1,000 a month while in charge of the finances at the Paris city hall. Prosecutors decided that since Mr Juppe himself had not benefited financially he had committed no offence.
But attention has turned to an apartment let to Mr Juppe, in a chic area of central Paris at a rent well below the market rate. Claims that he was not directly involved in the distribution of city-owned flats appear to have been demolished by evidence from a city employee that Mr Juppe was closely involved in allotting flats, authorising repair work and setting rents. Renovation work worth Fr1.1m (pounds 140,000) was done to Mr Juppe's flat before he moved in.
The case is with prosecutors who have asked Paris city hall for a number of documents, and called on the police to conduct an inquiry to establish the facts. The legal position is not clear, as any offence committed by Mr Juppe may be covered by a statute of limitations.

Two years ago President Obama challenged the nation to increase its exports. American exports are up 34 percent since that time, with 70 percent of total exports being manufactured goods. "Made in America" still has a huge cache around the world. "Made in Michigan" can and should have significance overseas as well. Now is the time for Michigan's alternative energy supply chain and manufacturers to look abroad for new markets, niche and otherwise. The demand for electricity is exploding in emerging markets of developing and less developed countries. The Kyoto Treaty and other international efforts are aimed at satisfying this demand with renewable resources rather than fossil fuels. With its technology, engineering, and lean manufacturing prowess, Michigan could be on the leading edge of this effort. The export market is wide open. Let's go to work on exporting "Pure Michigan."

Ever wondered what you look like through someone else's eyes
If not it's because you have something to hide
Maybe you need to put away self pride
Ever had a quest to search for the unknown
To seek and find what has already been shown
Then you ponder the idea you are not alone
Ever thought you were being watched better yet followed
Then your life may be among those that wallow
And your mind convinces your soul you are not shallow
Ever dreamed a dream to be dreamed
Certainly you have a passion that shall truly be deemed
Much like that of a coffee drinker craving for cream
Ever cried and wondered to yourself why
Then looking through your reflection you wave bye, bye
For what you saw was just in your eye
Ever cared what others may have thought
Surely you have not been correctly taught
For whatsoever a man thinketh then so is he
Do not concern yourself with those who bring misery
Gaining knowledge shall increase sorrow
Know that you are not promise tomorrow
