'Recent speculation that suggested Pegula would assume ownership after meeting with the full board this weekend was unfounded, as was speculation he would attend the full meeting. He is not eligible to attend the governors meetings until he officially becomes a governor. A league source estimated that Pegula would close on the sale in the next few weeks, or sometime in February, assuming negotiations continue without complications.'

The layout of the resort - lots of space, beautiful gardens and great swimming pools. The views of the ocean are fantastic. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the food in the restaurants excellent. The beach is non-swimmable because of the strong surf and currents. However, it's still great for a walk.
Super attentive staff. Very friendly, some were funny. The best food of any resort we've stayed at previously. Rooms were romantic, views were gorgeous. Great pools, lots of seating, chairs, outdoor activities. Cant' wait to go back! Nothing.
The resort is beautiful, but that's as far as it goes. The staff is friendly, but tough to come by. I'd suggest going elsewhere The worst part is the food. On each night of our stay, we went outside the property for dinner, which is terrible given how much we paid.
Gorgeous all around. One note of advice would be for rooms to include bottles of water. You get incredibly thirsty in the heat and not having water in the room daily creates tremendous anxiety.
The Resort is beautifully designed . Super clean. Great pools. Service and staff were on par. Great kids pool with fun slide. We had a great time staying in this luxurious resort. We will return . Food was ok there is a lot better in town. The wifi needs serious help. Sales pitch for Diamond Resorts was not too intrusive use your best judgement ...
Grounds We reserved a 3BR Grand Penthouse Villa. When we arrived, it was unavailable. So we had to move rooms after the first night. Then, the villa they gave us was in a construction zone with jackhammering all day. We really couldn't even use the room during the day as it was unbelievably noisy and loud. They gave us a discount but it wasn't worth it as our family of 7 had a lousy vacation due to their awful level of service. We'll never come here again.
The pool and grounds were beautiful. Rooms were very spacious with full kitchens and large baths. Room and bathroom lighting was very poor. Wireless internet did not work in individual villas. Internet was an extra charge.
Concierge, miguel was very knowledgeable as well as efficient
The Hotel and Grounds were very clean and well maintained. The staff was always friendly and available if needed. Having never been to the San Jose area before. We usually stay in Cabo San Lucas. We were surprised that there weren't any activities that are located in San Jose. There wasn't much for the kids to do, so we spent a lot of time going to Cabo for activities.
Friendly non intrusive staff, luxury, pool and surroundings, service poolside and in restaurants.
Staff was friendly neat clean place Nothing
This hotel is a great value for the money. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Extensive food choices should satisfy just about anyone. The low rise terra cotta colored building and the native landscaping create an inviting atmosphere. Location--the hotel abuts a nature preserve on one side so nothing commercial can ever be built there; also, very close to town. There is an adults only quiet pool as well as areas for families with children. Free parking. We have stayed at this property 6-7 times over a period of about twenty years, and it's showing its age a little. Some towels were worn and frayed (sheets were fine), and dishware was chipped. Some wooden furniture in the rooms is showing wear and tear. Decor could use some color and local art.
The all inclusive was pretty good, the food for the most part was good, I would say 3-Star dining. Loved the tub in the room, that was such a nice touch. The drinks in the all inclusive are very, very bottom shelf. No hot water in the shower.
Simply the best... The best experience we've had in terms of accommodations, service and food. All the staff was very attentive and paid attention to detail. We celebrated our 25th anniversary with a 5 night stay at the Marquis just last week. Since we mentioned the occasion they surprised us with many small details that went a long way. I won't spoil it for you just case you decide to do the same! One of our favorite things to do was the outdoor Italian restaurant. That night they also featured a wine tasting activity. Don't pass up the appetizer thin crust gourmet pizza baked outdoor in their brick oven. Beef carpaccio was off the hook The only downside was not being able to go into the beach immediately in front of the hotel. We walked down a few minutes toward the Hilton to experience the beautiful pacific. There we were able to get in at but just about 10 feet before the drop off. We were lucky to be there when schools of fish were swimming right up to the shoreline. There were a couple locals netting bushels of these "Lisa" fish one bucket after another.
Its an excellent hotel, much better than I expected, its all inclusive a la carte, they also include all the minibar snaks, and room service. Its very well maintained and has amazing views of the ocean, it has one of the best beachfronts because there's not a soul, so you can lay on the pool and admire the view. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The bed is not the best, 2 days before we left it arrived a group of 30 people and the service started to fail a little, at some point they organized activities for this group and they had a microphone in the pool, so it was very loud. We told the manager and they shut it down.
The location was perfect . . . on the corridor between CSL and SJDC. Gorgeous hotel, both the public spaces and the rooms themselves. Gracious and attentive staff. Beautiful beach and pools. PLan on returning with my family sometime in the future. N / A
- Beautiful locations and facilities - Great entertainment staff - Fantastic breakfast - Good food - Very clean and well-maintained - Constant music playing by the pools, they should really keep one half of the area no music. The music is way too loud and nothing anyone wants to hear, half the people by the pool have headphones on to try to drown it out. This was hugely disappointing to me - it was just way too hard to get some straight up peace and quiet. - Not enough alcohol selection. For this kind of money, I would expect a lot more liquor selection, better tequilas, more high end everything. Also: add menus with a variety of drinks. - More and better food options. While the Mexican restaurant and the ceviches were outstanding, the Japanese food was only OK (although the hibachi chefs were great), everything else was subpar.
The Marquis was absolutely perfect! The most gorgeous views I have ever seen. The staff was great and very helpful with everything. The food was also good (I would rate it a 7 out of 10) but for an all inclusive a 9 out of 10. All in all a perfect 10. The only problem was that you were not able to swim in the ocean. The water was too dangerous. But the beautiful pools made up for that.
The meals were good enough. They had options for meat eaters and the cooking was right. They should have more vegetarian options, like vegetarian beans as protein, rice. Booking restaurants are very good! But book with time... Even when they have availability you won't get a table without a reservation. And when you book, ask them what food are you booking for. The last night of our trip we wanted to eat Italian food and we got the reservation. When we got there they sat us and gave us the menu, we were ordering and all of a sudden they took away our menus and told us that night wasn't Italian but all about fish! We don't eat fish! We had to go and eat at the buffet. Just be aware. They don't advertise on any website searcher that you shouldn't swim at the sea, or that is dangerous. We love the beach, my son is five and enjoys playing in the water. This time we couldn't do that because we didn't know about the fact you barely can get in the water. It's very rough! An adult can handle it but a kid, no. That was disappointing because we love to sit at the beach and play... But the part that is just horrible, being honest, it's the cleanliness of the rooms. 0 stars on this! The rooms smell pretty bad. Like old and wet. There was dirt on the floor that you can see and feel under your feet if you like to walk barefoot. The bathroom doesn't have ventilation so any smell gets stuck in the walls. They don't clean the showers!!! We found hairs, old soap and mold stuck to one corner of the shower and I had to shower with flip flops on... The rooms need to be updated. Pretty much everything was falling apart. Lamps dirty, beds and pillows lumpy, the telephone in the rooms work when they wanted, sink broken, chairs stained, curtains cover in dust and smelly. Any way, be aware that the hotel hasn't had a good maintance and it's very DIRTY
We had a supreme ocean view room which had to be the room used for the picture perfect postcard. It looked out over the pools toward the ocean so we woke up to a spectacular view every morning. The staff from waiters to maid services was very friendly and prompt in providing all our needs. We hired babysitters on 3 different evenings for our grandchildren and were very pleased with their loving care. Tipping is not required but much appreciated as they don't make much in wages. The food could come up a notch in flavor but the variety presented at every buffet should suit everyone.
We've stayed in the San Jose / Los Cabos area a few times and we like the Hotels proximity to nearby shopping centers. Most of the staff were very pleasant except for a lady who worked at the front desk as well as a lady who worked the grill at the restaurant by the pool. The two most important things we want when booking an all-inclusive vacation is a room with a wonderful view and good food. We booked an ocean view room. When we entered our room on the second level, all we saw were trees, the pool and if we looked hard enough…. we saw a little bit of the the ocean. Our room was # 2218. We always book ocean view rooms when traveling to a beach resort and we were alway pleased with the view until this trip. To say the least, we were very disappointed. After some hesitation, I called the front desk to voice my concerns with the "Ocean View". The gentleman who answered the phone, after listening to my concerns, said "That's what you paid for." I again told him that all I see is trees, the pool and people in bating suits. I requested a room that doesn't have trees blocking the view. He told me that he didn't have one at the moment and that I can call in the morning to get a better room. The next morning I walked down to the lobby to see about getting a better view. The lady at the front desk had this annoyed look on her face. She told me that I have an ocean view room. I again explained to her that the view is blocked by trees. It was a palm tree and a short fuller tree to be exact. Being on such a low level any obstacle would block your view but come on…. two trees is ridiculous. I told her that on the hotels website, the picture of their "ocean view" was spectacular and that is what I was expecting or at least something close. She stilled had that annoyed look on her face. I told her that I don't mean to be difficult but I want what I paid for. Long story short, I moved to a partial ocean view on the 5th floor. Room 2517. It over looked The Grand Solaris Hotel ( I had a beautiful ocean view there a few years ago) and the ocean. The partial ocean view was way better than the no view "ocean view" room. What a joke. The first day there we went to the restaurant by the pool for lunch. It was small in comparison to other resorts. I assume it's because the Barcelo resort is on the small side. There was a line of 6 people waiting to order their grilled item. The Lady grilling was grilling one or two requests at a time. It took forever to get your grilled Item. The gentleman in front of me asked for three chickens..I'm sure it's because he didn't want to wait in line again and I didn't blame him. The grill lady looked at him and said " Three??" I felt bad for the poor guy. He looked embarrassed. The next day I was in line with 1 lady in front of me. She asked for 2 fish, I asked for 2 and the lady behind me asked for two. The fish is on the small side so asking for two seemed reasonable. She put all 6 fish on the grill, an improvement from the day before. When she plated my fish, she gave me 1. I asked for the other one. She gave me a dirty look and gave a small piece that broke off another fish. This lady should not be dealing with guests. She is very rude. I wish I can write more but I'm out of characters.
The staff was overall very kind and accommodating. Not allowing an earlier checkin, not a moment before 3pm, is a little inconvenient.
The location was fantastic. The resort and grounds were beautiful. The room was very clean with nice amenities. I would stay again but not do the all-inclusive package next time and go off-site for my meals. The food quality for this level of resort was sub-par. Everything was very bland. It also appears they need more wait staff. We stayed for only 1 night but made a reservation at the on-site Mexican restaurant. Our dinner took over 2 hours, each dish was below expectation and the portions were tiny. On a separate occasion, I observed a worker in the buffet take a scoop of guacamole, put his finger in it, taste it, then place the spoon back in the guacamole!
Beautiful, nice and quiet hotel. Away from everything. Private beach was beautiful, calm and relaxing. Food at the restaurant was delicious. Each room was stocked daily with complementary beer and water. If any assistance is needed in the hotel.. Ask for Alex.... He is awesome. Only 2 guest allowed per room, far away from everything. If young, I would recommend staying in San Lucas. Supervisor was very rude and does not have customer service skills. Wouldn't not stay again due to too many hotel restrictions. Also, you cannot bring any alcohol, outside food or drinks to your room. They want everything to be purchased through the hotel.
Awesome pools on the fourth deck. Food was average at best one star.
We loved the whole experience. Staff were very welcoming, room was wonderful, very clean, proximity to the marina was so fun to watch the boats coming in and out. The private beach was very nice. I only wish we were closer to downtown.
We loved the entire stay. Room was awesome, bed cozy, food excellent, staff incredible, location amazing and beautiful! Can't wait to go back!! Beach was beautiful! I am going through withdrawals and I just left 7 hours ago. Nothing!! Not one thing!
The rooms were clean and the staff were helpful. The grounds seemed to be well kept. The inroom safe, wi-fi and several other amenities were not included in the all inclusive rate. This fact is not metioned in the advertising. The Hotel wants an additional $32.50 per day for these items. The Hotel provides only one selection of white wine and it's Chardonnay. For those who like Chardonnay this is OK. For those who want a different type of white wine you are required to buy it and these choices are verrry expensive. There was absolutely no seafood on the menu other than fish.
Staff and paintings Food wasn't bad....just not great!!
Todo el Staff se porto excelente, muy amables, atentos y con intenciones de atenderte lo mejor posible, lo mejor del hotel.... La chica de recepción que se llama África es la mejor de todas siempre al servicio del cliente y con mucha amabilidad. La comida es un punto que creo q deben mejorar, poca variedad y de calidad media. en algunas habitaciones el sonido del show que hacen en las noches es incomodo para el que quiere estar relajado a esa hora, en nuestro caso la primera noche tuvimos que tratar de dormir con esa incomodidad pero al día siguiente nos cambiaron de habitación y se resolvió el problema aunque todavía no escapamos del todo del ruido del show...
The staff is wonderful and friendly. I felt like they went the extra mile to accommodate my needs and requests. The rooms are modern and clean. I didn't like the fact that their jacuzzi closes at 6pm. I wish it would stay open longer. Their seafood selection at the buffet needs to be expanded.
Location. The proximatity to shopping is convenient for all the items you could not bring or forgot to pack. Pool bartender was great as was the staff at Luna. Requests and exceptions for items in the mini bar or safe function were not attended to during the stay.
When I booked this hotel I went with the deluxe view king and when I checked in she told me all she had was this room with 2 beds. I said i guess it will have to be OK. When we got up there we had a view of the pool and the only place you could see the ocean was out on the very small deck. I would have understood in a normal situation but my son and his girlfriend who checked in at the same time had booked a regular room like the one we ended up with. Was told that they would give them a free upgrade and they got a nice King bed room with a full view of the ocean!!! Not sure what happened on that one. Everything but the bar closed by 8. When we went over to the desk that tells us about everything she asked how long we were staying. When we told her one night we were then treated like second class citizens. Not a great place to stay.
Marco Polo was decent and enjoyed the food. The pool area was good. Staff were friendly. Lounge area in the main area was nice with the good service. Our son and family was there as well and the kids club was enjoyed. Maid who cleaned our room did an excellent job. Resort was small with not enough selection for eating. Buffet food was poor quality with not enough American/Canadian selection if you didn't like Mexican. Lounge chairs were packed together at poolside. As a general guest felt substandard to the Time Share members. Theater productions way to loud. Large number of staff with poor communications skills. Shouldn't have to pay for on-site shows if at an all inclusive like Disney and pirate show. Paid extra for ocean view and were facing a concrete wall, walkway and a construction mess on the backside of the hotel with only a side view of the ocean.
Nice facilities, friendly staff, beautiful pool Lunch selection and quality was mediocre at best. Worst hamburger of my life; thin, wet, and mushy. There is no way that was beef.
Food - Activities - Beach - ALL INCLUSIVE - Price Everything worked excellent!
Was on the beach which was nice. Some staff were very helpful and nice. Front desk was rude. Too family oriented for a bachelorette group to stay and enjoy the pool and restaurants. Restaurants were not accommodating for reservations.
Room view was of pool and ocean. Bed was actually comfortable. Mini Fridge cool. Place to hang your suit to dry in bathroom. Convenient parking lot--attended gate. Allowed us an hour late check out. Convenient block near Mega and a few nicer resorts, shops across the street. Ocean front. Big enough room towels. Wrist Bands, food tickets, coupons for everything that you can't use until you've been there a full day....? why?, fried food smells, smoking by the pool, loud speaker with nattering cheerleader type, loud music, not enough outlets, no ceiling fan, not luxury at all, very basic, place for young college aged kids or travelers with small children. Room had loud and intense humming buzz. TV had poor reception and streaks running through every picture. Karoake??!! in the bar. Fountain is just PVC pipe sticking out of low pond. Was for just one night and I was so glad was only one night. pool looked gross, didn't go in. We had been at luxury property next door for rest of trip and needed one night due to wonky travel plans. Was an abrupt change of venue. There is a gym but it looked quite small. If you just need a place to hang your towel--this will do. Has old European feel in the lobby, rooms are pretty basic. If can get one of the large ones at the South end/ocean front--might be worth it. Had to go to 3 ice machines to find one that either worked or had ice.
All inclusive nature is so convenient. Despite the rooms being a little dated, it was very clean and the beds respectable. The facilities are very good and they have a great kid area with water slides and day care. There is also a nice adult only area with heated pool and jacuzzi. The main pool is mixed use. Food I'd good, not great. WiFi was strong throughout the resort area and worked well with Netflix. Value was very good overall. This resort is in San José del Cabo, which is very pretty, but not the "main" Cabo, which Cabo San Lucas. The advantage to San Jose del Cabo is convenience to the airport (20 mins), but the undertow in the ocean is such that they don't want you going in the water and there are no major attractions. Cabo San Lucas has they famous "arch", shopping and markets. As soon as you get off the plane you'll be pitched time share. Our " assigned concierge" at the hotel was also one. However, once we said "no", we were left alone for the duration of our stay. It's stupid, that they would tell you would get better rates booking direct than through Kayak and undermine their agents, but they do. Service at the hotel was OK. Often found ourselves waiting for drink refills, but good overall and they are very nice. The gym is too small, old and dilapidates. Look elsewhere if a gym is that important to you.
Was very disappointed how they tried to rope us into buying a time share.
some staff member VERY helpful, others not so much
was only four days but we really enjoyed all the activities in the hotel they need to bring transportation from airport to hotel
Just got back from the Palmilla. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. The rooms are perfect, and the bathrooms to die for!! Will be returning next year!!
Our Palmillas experience began the moment we stepped out of the airport. We were transported by hummer to the resort and felt immediately cared for. The resort was immaculate! Not a bug or weed in sight, the beautiful gardens blooming, doves cooing and everything clean and hygienic. The staff were gracious, polite and detail oriented, always prepared to care for you and get you anything you wanted or needed without being overwhelming. Our room was gorgeous and it was above the beautiful, swimmable beach. We had panoramic views of the bay and the sound of the waves right outside. Our bed was super comfortable and clean (down pillows yeah!). The bathroom was vast, luxurious and well appointed. On the second day, I found a sewing kit that had been tailored to the colors of my wardrobe! The attention to detail was evident everywhere. Nothing was short of luxurious and everything was maintained perfectly. There were little, carved wooden blocks you could set out by your sun lounger which si...
My wife and I traveled here for our 12th anniversary in September and we are still raving about it. There is not one thing I would change! By far the service is the most attentive and outgoing of any 5 star hotel I have ever stayed. The grounds are manicured perfectly. The staff all know your name and there is nothing you can't ask them that they would not do. The Villa's are incredible with amazing fews, ample space and the best bathroom I have ever been in. This hotel thinks of everything! The food was also incredible. We will be back!
Having stayed at many 5 star resorts around the world, The One & Only Palmilla has been my favorite. There was NOTHING I did not LOVE about this place! Excellent food and drinks! Excellent service! Incredibly beautiful property!
We took our young kids 3 & 5 and had a very relaxing time. The staff is very accomodating. You'll feel like you are on their own compound. Very safe and secure. Always a staff around even in the early dark morning hours on the grounds keeping it up. If you want a luxury feel at a very upscale place then this is the place. We saw 1 singer and 1 celebrity at the pool with their kids but everyone respects their privacy.
This was the first stop of my honeymoon, before heading to Asia's best hotels. And none of the 8 other hotels we visited compared to this one. This has got to be the best hotel we've stayed in ever! And the food is exquisite.
Everything was fantastic. The people were attentive. Food was great. Atmosphere was incomparable.
The One and Only in Palmilla is the ultimate in luxury. The rooms are stunning, the service is incredible (you walk around and they respond to you by your last name) and don't miss Agua by Charlie Trotter. He has two restaurants here, but I liked Agua better due to its ambiance and its food selection. Plus the prices aren't as steep!
Beach atmosphere The rooms were not very clean and pool and spa were dirty
Just about everything was filthy. Pool had scum, floors were dirty. We opted not to eat there. Staff was awesome. Wished it was a cleaner hotel.
The room was nice with a good view The construction noise from re-building of the hurricane damage but this could not be helped and as I understand it needed to be done to get things back in order.
Great location, right on the beach. Outdated. Refrigerator did not work, headboard to bed was loose and rocked all night, room needs updating as there was rust everywhere.
The staff was courteous and the food was relatively good. The beach is nice and it's great that the place is not too crowded. The bedrooms need updating and the beach chairs had some issues. The quality of the facilities is not great.
It was the diriest , smelly, dilapidated, no elevators moldy bathrooms dirty linens I am getting my money back somehow. Has anybody been to this place to rate it. People are getting stuck with an abusive place because by the time you get there you have our money and they don't give a dam basically.
We always stop at Posada Real on our way to our time share in Cabo Del Sol to get into the Mexican way of life. The beach and waterfront is fabulous and the pool waiters take care of everything you could want. Before we even could settle ourselves in a lounge chair, they were handing us a Margarita. Everyone was extremely friendly and no one pushed us to attend a time share meeting. Good place to decelerate. The beds were like sleeping on bricks..but how long does anyone stay in their bed?
Great beach. Quiet. Good food. Was not wheelchair friendly at all as advertised. Lack of ramps or too steep. Staff was not willing to help.
Because of miscommunication on my girlfriend's part. brought our dog with us. Within minutes Sophie found a special dog boarding place nearby. They even came and picked up digger. The resort is great for beachside pool resort Food was ok. But we weren't there for the food
I was very happy that they let us check in early & upgraded the room to ocean view. Also got an all inclusive armband for drinks & breakfast. Price was right for 1 night stay. I had to pay for dinner and it was mediocre. Should have gone offsite. Not there for food, just a bed & bathroom before getting on dive boat next morning.
The resort was very elegant and quaint. The pools were the perfect size for the number of rooms. On several occasions we had challenges with receiving our food orders both poolside as well as in the restaurant. I am well aware that the week after Thanksgiving their bookings were lower. However I feel that the service and attention to detail were lacking. There was no spa.
Property is beautifully landscaped. Staff is very charasmatic. Rooms are very nice, with some really luxurious amenities, but could use a few more finishing touches. The views are terrific from the modest-sized balconies in the Jr. Suite. Next time we'll probably upgrade to the rooms with the endless hot tubs on the balcony. The chef is terrific. Breakfast, lunch, supper and snacks were all wonderful. Definitely Baja influenced dining, but a number of options available as well. Good wine, good liquor, good mixed drinks. Modelo, Pacifico and Corona are the only beers available. Not at all unusual, but it would have been nice to see a few more options.

Letter From Dr. Robert H. Carter: Enhancing the Biomedical Workforce
Dear Colleagues:
Training and career development are essential components of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and NIAMS missions. This month's letter focuses on two trans-NIH efforts that will be preparing the next generation of biomedical and behavioral researchers for productive careers improving the health of the American public.
Help Science-Minded Students Prepare for College and STEM Careers: NIH Resource Will Help High School Students Get Ready for the Biomedical Workforce
JUMP-START College Planning, a free how-to manual for organizing a conference for science-minded high school students, has been released by the NIH Office of Science Education.
Taking on the Challenge of Better Biomedical Workforce Data
The primary goal of the NIH Advisory Committee to the Director Biomedical Research Workforce Working Group was the creation of pathways through undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral training that provide excellent preparation for biomedical research careers in a timely fashion, and that ensure future U.S. competitiveness and innovation in biomedical research.
The 2014 NIAMS Congressional Justification
When the president submits his budget to Congress each year, the executive branch agencies provide a document called the Congressional Justification. The Congressional Justification submitted by the NIAMS complements the president's budget request by explaining the Institute's mission, highlighting recent research accomplishments and future initiatives, and providing comparative budget data for the previous, current and upcoming fiscal years. Brief descriptions of the Institute's Extramural and Intramural Research Programs are also included, along with overviews of key research support activities. Additionally, a series of Program Portraits are included that highlight accomplishments and future directions of selected activities funded by the Institute. To view the fiscal year 2014 NIAMS Congressional Justification, or to access archived documents from previous years, please visit the NIAMS website.
Enhancements to the NIAMS Image Gallery

DNA's Double Anniversary
April 25 is a very special day. In 2003, Congress declared April 25 as DNA Day to mark the date that James Watson and Francis Crick published their seminal one-page paper in Nature describing the helical structure of DNA. That was 60 years ago. In that single page, they revealed how organisms elegantly store biological information and pass it from generation to generation; they discovered the molecular basis of evolution; and they effectively launched the era of modern biology.
Reprogramming Genes to Keep Joints Healthy
Our joints are pretty amazing marvels of engineering, but they don't last forever. As we age, or if we suffer certain injuries, the smooth, slippery white cartilage covering the ends of our bones begins to fray and degrade. This causes osteoarthritis (OA), or "wear-and-tear" arthritis. As the cartilage thins and disappears, the bones can even grow spurs that grate against each other, causing swelling and pain.
An Evolving App for Genetic Tests
We all hope for health care in the genomic era to become as easy and personal as a smartphone app. And perhaps at some point it will be. At some medical centers, electronic health records already include a list of patients' genetic variations that might trigger harmful drug reactions and send "pop-up" alerts to warn the physician or pharmacist. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but it's a harbinger of things to come. Our big challenge is to translate all the new discoveries and data from the genome project into a format that physicians and other health care providers can use to improve health.

FDA Wants Your Opinion on Dairy-Product Labels
If you're a lover of chocolate milk, but want to watch your weight, you might reach for the carton labeled "reduced calorie." But dairy manufacturers would rather the carton simply say "chocolate milk." In a petition to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), they say that labels such as "reduced calorie" or "no added sugar" are a turn-off to kids. What is the petition asking for? Why are consumers a bit confused? The FDA wants to hear from consumers on this issue, but also wants to ensure that they understand the exact nature of the proposed labeling change.

Geocaching: A good excuse for a walk in the woods
Trey Mewes, contributing writer, Farmington Independent
Published Thursday, April 20, 2006
There is an interesting hobby in Farmington, and it's not just a walk
in the park. It's an adventure, and it's here. It's called geocaching.
Geocaching is an adventure game played using a Global Positioning
System, or GPS, to find hidden "caches." Coordinates for the caches
are posted on web sites such as
"It's just a fun way to go out and do things," said Jason Towley, a
geocacher and Farmington resident. "I go out with my daughter and we
just have fun."
Towley has been a geocacher since December. He found out about
geocaching from a neighbor whose parents were geocachers. He decided
last winter he wanted to buy a GPS and try geocaching. He has enjoyed
it ever since. Towley is responsible for most of the handful of
geocaches in Farmington.
The point of the game is to find hidden caches, which can be placed
pretty much anywhere. Caches are containers of one kind or another.
They can be as small as a pillbox or as large as an ammo box. Inside
the box is a logbook where geocachers can sign their name to say they
found the cache, and then post their find on the web site. A cache
can also contain prizes, but anything taken from a cache must be
replaced with another item.
"The rule is if you take something you leave something," Towley said.
"My daughter loves geocaching because she can find a cache and leave
her old McDonalds Happy Meal toy for a new Happy Meal toy."
Prizes can be small items like toys, books, CDs, even recipes.
Geocaching relies heavily on modern technology. In order to play one
must have a GPS and access to the Internet. The websites have
waypoints for each hidden cache. Several are in Farmington, in public
areas people go by everyday.
"GPS units are like electronic compasses," Towley said.
According to geocaching.com, GPS units are electronic devices that
can determine your approximate location within six to 20 feet.
"I got a basic GPS on sale for $59.00. You can get a GPS at $59.00 or
$700. They all basically do the same thing," Towley said. He said the
only difference between cheaper and more expensive GPS devices is the
attention to detail concerning your surroundings. More expensive GPS
units will be able to identify roads and streams and provide more
detailed maps instead of major roads and rivers.
"My daughter and I love to go out and find caches. I'll go out
sometime during my lunch break and see if I can find a cache in the
area," he said.
It's time to play
In order to play, first go to
and register. The
web site has a search tool to find geocaches in a specific area. It
will allow members to access information about caches listed in the
directory. From there, members are able to get outside and find
caches. To find caches in Farmington, search for the 55024 zip code.
"The whole point of the game is you just kind of keep it mellow." Towley said.
If finding caches just isn't exciting enough, geocachers can hide
their own caches. There are certain rules geocachers have to follow
in order to place caches, however.
Towley said caches are usually hidden in public areas. Caches can be
hidden on private land as long as the owner permits it. It must be
hidden well, so non-geocachers won't be able to find it.
"If you're doing it right, you should be able to walk by a cache and
you'll never know it's there." Towley said.
Have fun!
Geocaches are posted in several places around Farmington. They can be
found simply by walking out the front door with a trusty GPS and the
waypoints of the cache. But don't worry: everyone wins in this game.
"The goal is just kind of the thrill of the hunt." Towley said. "It's
like any other hobby. You do it to have fun."
There are various GPS-related events taking place now.
The South of the River Recreators group is organizing its first ever
GPS Amazing Family Race on Saturday, April 29 at the Apple Valley
community center. The race will pit family teams of two or more
against each other in a race through GPS checkpoints in SORR
communities - Farmington, Burnsville, Eagan Savage, Prior Lake,
Lakeville, Apple Valley and Rosemount.

Maddox provides Billings with fireworks
Reds first baseman launches three homers, knocks in five runs
By David Heck / Special to MLB.com | July 4, 2012 7:11 PM ET
The Reds' first-base prospect went deep three times and knocked in a career-high five runs Wednesday, but it was not enough as the Rookie-level Billings Mustangs lost to the Helena Brewers, 8-7.
The performance marked the first three-homer game in the Pioneer League since C.J. Cron accomplished the feat for Orem on Aug. 2, 2011 at Ogden.
"I was just seeing the ball well and swinging at strikes," Maddox said. "I was laying off those corner pitches that guys will nibble with and try to get you out on."
Maddox's first two longballs of the game were solo shots. The 23-year-old first baseman took Helena starter Michael Schaub deep with one out in the second inning, then did it again leading off the fourth.
"I saw a couple pitches outside, then saw a fastball in and hit that one," Maddox said. "It kind of carried out -- I didn't feel like I got all of it, but I got enough to get it out. The second one was a high fastball. I was just trying to get something going against them and trying to help our offense going. The fastball was up where I like it and I hit it out."
Maddox, who bats lefty, smacked a three-run homer in the seventh off southpaw reliever Taylor Wall. The roundtripper put the Mustangs on top, 7-5.
"The third one was probably the best one, the most exciting of the day," Maddox said. "We had given up the lead late in the ballgame. I saw a changeup first pitch and didn't take a good swing at it. I figured they would come back to it again. I was anticipating the same thing, got it down the middle of the plate and probably took my best swing of the day with the most power behind it."
The Brewers came back for three runs in the top of the eighth, taking a one-run lead. Maddox was due up fourth in the ninth, but the Mustangs went down in order against Helena closer Connor Whalen.
"Any time you're left on deck with a chance to tie or win the game for your team, it's disappointing," Maddox said. "Despite the three homers before that, you want to get that opportunity. I'm not disappointed in my teammates at all, just disappointed not to get that opportunity."
Maddox's effort marks the first three-homer game of his pro career, but not of his life. He also did it once in college on Mother's Day.
So does he reserve all his monumental performances for holidays?
"I try not to, but it seems like it," he said. "You get a little more amped up, I guess, in front of big crowds on holidays. It's just happened to fall on those days. Maybe it's a good luck charm to play on holidays."
Through 13 games for Billings this year, Maddox is batting .340 with five homers and 16 RBIs. The 2010 18th-round pick said his goal this season is to develop just about every facet of his game.
"Keep on working on driving the ball to the opposite field and up the middle," Maddox said. "That aspect of my game I really want to improve on. The mindset I've had all year is to become a better player at the plate.
"Defensively, keep developing. Throw more accurately, increase my range at first base. I think I got a lot better in spring and have gotten better this year. Understanding the game, slowing the game down, not moving too fast and realizing how much time I have at first base ... just improving in every aspect of the game."

Hits and About last night …
| Stubbs on Twitter | Hickey's game story
AUDIO : Brian Gionta | Max Pacioretty | Carey Price
• At a Glance: The Canadiens extended their win streak to four games Saturday night, beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-2 before a typically buoyant Habs-friendly crowd in south Florida. Sniper Hal Gill, who had gone 99 games without a goal before scoring Thursday in Montreal's 4-0 win over the Florida Panthers, hit the net for the second straight match to get the Habs on the board at 5:27, his slapper beating Tampa goalie Dwayne Roloson. It was just the second time in Gill's career that he had goals in consecutive games, the first time coming Oct. 21 and 24, 2002 when he was with the Boston Bruins. David Desharnais put the visitors up 2-0 about three minutes later on the power play, but the Lightning got that back 85 seconds into the second with an extra man, Lars Eller off for tripping, when former Canadien Dominic Moore beat Habs goalie Carey Price in a scramble. Max Pacioretty gave the Habs a two-goal edge again, with yet another PP goal, at 14:05. Pacioretty scored his second of the night, his 14th on the season, on a one-timer off a fine feed by Scott Gomez at 1:18 of the third. Vincent Lecavalier banged home Tampa's second on a Canadiens turnover, generated by Moore, at 14:07.
• Keys To The Win: The Canadiens' successful kill of an 88-second 5-on-3 Lightning power play in the third period and Price's typically stellar goalkeeping, a 43-save performance.
• What It Means: The Habs enjoyed a perfect 3-0 road trip to Atlanta, and Sunrise and Tampa, Fla. Their record stands at 36-23-7 for 79 points. The win has the sixth-place Canadiens seven points ahead of No. 7 New York Rangers in the East and kept them in the hunt for first in the Northeast Division heading
into Tuesday's Bell Centre game against the division-leading Boston Bruins, who
lost in overtime to Pittsburgh. The Bruins are five points up on the Habs with a game in hand.
• What's Next: The Canadiens were to fly home immediately after the game. They'll face the Bruins on Tuesday, for the first time since the gong show of their last meeting in Boston – an 8-6, penalty-filled Habs loss. Then they head back on the road for a game Thursday in St. Louis and Saturday afternoon in Pittsburgh.

Scene Info
A crate marked 'fragile' shows up at the warehouse and the pack moves in. They pry it open to discover Troy Daniels inside wearing only a jockstrap and a smile. The gang drags Troy out of the crate and immediately beings probing his big bubble-butt with their fingers and tongues. The relentless assplay drives all the men crazy, most of all Troy, who tries to suck the guys cocks right through their jeans. Finally the pack pulls out their hard cocks; there isn't one under 8' in the entire group! Troy moves around, sucking and jacking each stud's dick like a true cock-pig. The men strip naked and stand in a circle and grab Troy's head, pushing him down on their huge dicks until he gags...

Every May in New York City, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) comes to the City.
The International Contemporary Furniture Fair is "North America's premier showcase for contemporary design," and this year it was held at the Javits Conference Center, where the rain was pouring down like it was a monsoon.
The ICFF hosts more than 500 exhibitors from over 30 countries in 10 categories, from accessories to wall coverings. More than 25,000 interior designers, architects, retailers, designers and more attended the four-day event.
I was excited to be among the giants of design and manufactures. Recycled and raw materials, like paper and cardboard, reclaimed woods, simple and traditional shapes refreshed by bold finishes and an attention for craft, were the trending themes for sustainable design.
2011 seemed to be a continuation of the popular themes of 2010′s exhibit.
The designers and manufactures from Spain were back with amazing styles, colors and ultra-hip, trend setting furnishings; the British were there in full swing to counter the Spanish (but it felt like a Spanish conquista), the bold and vibrant glaring styles in prints for wallpaper, textiles and ceramics.
Other U.S. and Japanese companies were there, but nothing really caught my eye. Metallic and neon paints made their way through as accents on light fixtures and reclaimed pieces.
All said and done, I love NYC and the ICFF. I also love the casual after-parties and the designer district of SOHO. A stroll through was well worth it. Next year's ICFF will be held May 19-22, 2012.
Here are few snapshots from the International Contemporary Furniture Fair 2011:

Kubuntu Oneiric Introduction
General Notes
General Notes
- This is the original Kubuntuguide. You are free to copy this guide but not to sell it or any derivative of it. This Kubuntu help guide is neither sold nor distributed in any other medium. Beware of copies that are for sale or are similarly named; they are neither endorsed nor sanctioned by this guide. Kubuntuguide is not associated with Canonical Ltd. nor with any commercial enterprise.
- Kubuntu allows a user to accomplish tasks from either a menu-driven Graphical User Interface (GUI) or from a text-based command-line interface (CLI). In Kubuntu, the command-line-interface terminal is called Konsole, which is started: K menu -> System -> Konsole Terminal.
In this guide, text inside the grey dotted box like this should be put into a Konsole terminal.
- Many changes to the operating system can only be done by a User with Administrative privileges. 'sudo' elevates a User's privileges to the Administrator level temporarily (i.e. when installing programs or making changes to the system). Example:
sudo bash
- 'kdesu' can be used (but is not required) instead of 'sudo' when opening a Graphical Application (such as the graphical text-editor application kate) through the "Run Command" dialog box or when starting certain applications as a menu item. Historically kdesu was used within graphical menus (having had different permissions within the Xwindows environment) and 'sudo' was used on the command line. While this distinction is no longer required, there may still be some older programs that work better from graphical menus if 'kdesu' is used. Either command can now be used. Example:
kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list
- Many file management tasks can be accomplished with root Administrative privileges by starting the Dolphin file manager in a similar fashion. (Use 'kdesu' if starting Dolphin from a menu item.)
kdesu dolphin
- or
sudo dolphin
- "man" command can be used to find help manual for a specific command. E.g. "man sudo" will display the manual page for the "sudo" command. Example:
man sudo
- While "apt-get" is a fast way of installing programs/packages, you can also use the Muon Package Manager (or even the Synaptic Package Manager), a GUI method for installing programs/packages. Most (but not all) programs/packages available with apt-get install will also be available from Muon Package Manager (or Synaptic Package Manager). In this guide, when you see
sudo apt-get install package
- you can search for package in Muon Package Manger (or Synaptic) and install it that way.
- Many instructions use the text editor "nano" (which is universally available in Linux). However, it is often easier to use the text editor "kate" in Kubuntu instead.
- "K" or "K menu" means the bottom-left (or upper-left) button, akin to the Start button in Microsoft Windows®.
- If you are using the 64-bit version, replace any "i386" with "amd64".
Other versions
How to determine which version of Kubuntu you're using

The vineyard is in a single block, and borders on the Pomerol appellation. An outstanding terror and unusual proportions of Cabernet Franc and Merlot give this great wine an absolutely unique flavor. Château Cheval Blanc has had a greater number of outstanding vintages than any other classified great growth over the past century.
Another unusual characteristic of Cheval Blanc is that once it reaches its peak, it maintains it for a very long time. This admirable wine is powerful, soft, rich, round and silky. It has tremendous fruit and elegance as well as exceptional quality from year to year.

The world is connected through communication, and a degree in Communication can open a lot of doors for students. Communication majors are trained to become effective communicators, whether it be through writing, speaking, promoting, performing, planning, or organizing. Every work industry out there needs such trained communicators to manage their messaging, both internally and externally. As a Communication major at MC, you'll take a foundational selection of courses in topics such as:
Then, you'll choose a concentration and pursue detailed coursework that supports your goals for the future. Whatever you choose to study, you'll develop valuable skills in speaking, writing, and public presentations, while learning more about the theory and practice of media. A wealth of extracurricular options in newspaper, photojournalism, and theatre help students gain hands-on experience and build resumes for exciting careers.
As a Communication major, you'll choose one of the following concentrations:
Develop spoken communication skills in an environment that gives equal attention to theory and practice. This interdisciplinary program prepares students for careers in public relations, political campaigns, and more. It's also an excellent foundation for graduate study.
Form a foundation in the basics of print and electronic media, television and radio, and prepare for a wide range of media careers like reporter, writer, editor, producer, on-air personality, and more.
This concentration focuses on journalism in the context of broadcast media, preparing graduates for work in electronic media, television, and radio.
Explore the world of professional communications, building skills in marketing and public relations in preparation for a career as a PR consultant, marketing manager, advertising professional, company spokesperson, and more.

Any student may minor in theater, diving into a rich and rewarding world, with training in technical, vocal and nonverbal aspects of theatrical presentation. Students get hands-on experience with three major productions hosted each year.
The Department of Communication at MC embraces a teaching philosophy that melds theory and practice. While students delve deeply into the foundational underpinnings of communication and study the history of the media, they also develop concrete skills through lots of opportunities for practical application. So graduates are well-prepared for their future careers with theoretical training and impressive portfolios.
Fantastic performance spaces provide great experiences for theater students and theater fans alike. Aven Little Theater is a 100-seat black box for more intimate productions, while 800-seat Swor Auditorium in Nelson Hall offers space for grand, sweeping projects.

The following is a walkthrough of the Shakedown mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
After taking over Diaz's mansion and business, Tommy decides it is the perfect time to take over the town and show everyone who's in charge. Tommy decides the best way to let his name be known is to destroy shops in the North Point Mall. By doing so, he will intimidate the owners into paying protection money.
The Mission
You will have five minutes to complete this mission. Get a fast car and drive to the North Point Mall, you can take a helicopter as choice and make that sure you have plenty of ammunition and some fast weapons, use a SMG because is the better choice. Once you enter the mall, do not hesitate, begin firing immediately- aim at the windows and fire until they break. Do not confuse the stores from the first and second floor, keep running, if you did the Ambulance side-mission, this mission will turn very easier. Continue until every window pane is destroyed and all the shop owners are begging for protection. Look out for cops, as your wanted level will increase during this mission at 5 stars in the missions end. If you run out of ammunition, you can buy some at the Ammu-Nation within the mall.

Im really starting to like this guy, the speed of his hands is very impressive.
Im really starting to like this guy, the speed of his hands is very impressive.
Hate watchin him fight, makes me cringe and he thinks he is far better than he is
this ^
... 10 chars
fair play to him though, this is the first time he has ever fought someone with a positive record and/or not fighting his mma debut.
i have a feeling he is going to get caught as soon as he steps up the competition.
Very cocky, runs around a lot, will get fought out quite easily when he fights someone decent. I hate watching him.
i think he's great to watch, can't wait to see how well he performs at higher level
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
He's the most entertaining fighter I've ever called.
Everyone always talks about seeing what happens when he fights someone of a higher level but if you honestly think London Shoot aren't already planning it out in detail then I don't know what to tell you. They don't fuck about down there.
There aren't many in the world like MVP whether you like him or not.
16-bit for life http://findingdyluck.blogspot.co.uk/
saw this on sd
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
That fight was annoying to watch and not remotely entertaining...
That running away style frustrates the shit out of me. Which I suppose is the objective for his opponent and not the viewers at home.
Albeit the kick above is pretty sweet!

On a trip to the United Arab Emirates several years ago, L. Brooks Patterson visited Dubai and the Dubai Internet City. Besides the architecture, what struck him most, he said, was the always-on, broadband wireless Internet access blanketing 4 square miles of the Internet City.
"That was my first exposure to that," he said. "When I came home, I sat down with my IT group and said, 'Phil [Bertolini], can we do this, except on a larger scale?' About a week or so later, he got back to me and said, 'Yes, we think we can do it.' That was the genesis of Wireless Oakland."
Wireless Oakland is Patterson's plan to cover the county with free wireless Internet service, and it may be the most high-profile IT project that he's launched in his 13 years as county executive.
He said seeding a Wi-Fi cloud to cover the county's 910 square miles with free wireless Internet access turned out to be more challenging than he anticipated.
"Who would have thought we'd need [access to] 20,000 [streetlight] poles from DTE Energy?" he recalled. "The magnitude of the undertaking was underestimated, but we've met the challenge and are now moving forward."
Troy, Mich., will be the crown jewel of Wireless Oakland, he said, and the city will be equipped with the most current bells and whistles possible for a Wi-Fi network. The plan is to turn Troy into a demo city for elected officials from around the country to tour.
"Citizens see us in a different light with a program like Wireless Oakland," he said. "Instead of just being garbage and tax collectors, government is actually contributing in a positive way to the quality of life in our community."
Patterson has been at the forefront of technology advancements for 31 years, when Oakland County rolled out the Courts and Law Enforcement Management Information System (CLEMIS) in the 1960s.
"I was an assistant prosecutor, and I was on the first [CLEMIS] committee," he recalled, and waded into the task of trying to distill 43 law enforcement agencies' different incident reports into one. "There were 43 initial incident reports. Nobody had the same report, and so the first year was getting everybody to give up their pet forms."
CLEMIS has now expanded to seven counties.
As Patterson's deputy, Phil Bertolini finds himself among a growing number of local government CIOs with an expanded role in executive leadership. Bertolini was appointed deputy county executive of Oakland County in January 2005 -- four years after he was named CIO and director of the Department of Information Technology.
Bertolini is currently in the midst of overseeing Wireless Oakland, which hit an important milestone in January 2007 when installation of Wi-Fi gear kicked off in the seven cities that constitute Phase One of the rollout. County officials expect to be finished with Phase One communities in April 2007, bringing free Internet access to more than 75,000 county residents.
"We want to make sure the Internet is in the hands of everyone in our county," Bertolini said. "We have 1.2 million residents in the county, and 300,000 people come into our county every day to go to work."
Though Oakland County is one of the wealthiest counties in the United States based on per-capita income, he said, a substantial segment of the county's population is low income.
"That was a key piece of Wireless Oakland -- we wanted free bandwidth for everyone in the county," he said. "The second piece is that we want to provide PCs at either no cost or at a low cost, and training to those folks in our county who need it the most."
Another Wireless Oakland goal is the development of a Telecommunication and Technology Planning Toolkit to support continuing high-tech investments in local
