Sutton Hall, originally called The Education Building, is a building on the University of Texas at Austin campus, serving as one of the three buildings supporting the School of Architecture, the others being Battle Hall and Goldsmith Hall. It was designed by Cass Gilbert, who also designed Battle Hall, the architecture library on the same campus. Originally, Sutton Hall housed the College of Education.
In 1927, the University separated the Department of Psychology out of the Department of Philosophy, and moved Psychology out of Garrison Hall and onto the 3rd floor of Sutton Hall, where it would share space with the Department of Educational Psychology for the next 25 years.[1]
Today, Sutton Hall houses architecture studios, labs, and offices, including graduate admissions for the school.

GRANTS PASS, Ore.- Around 130 veterans here attended the first Grants Pass Veteran's Breakfast. Organizers say it's important to continue these breakfasts so veterans can come together and bring a collective voice to representatives in attendance.
Representative Sal Esquivel says, "Veterans do not ask for anything but we can't give them enough."
The first three breakfasts this year are free. It's an opportunity for veterans to learn about local resources and understand their benefits.
For one local vet, it's also about comradery.
Alice Thompsen says, "It's just like having your own family and everyone around you understands where you're from and where you're coming from and what you've been through so it just makes you feel more united."
A representative from Greg Walden's office was there. Plus Sal Esquivel, a Vietnam war veteran, and Medford state representative, gave an update on his work at the capitol.
The following breakfasts are all at the Taprock Northwest Grill:
February 1 - Free

Farrah Abraham had some choice words for Viacom following reports that MacKenzie McKee would replace her on Teen Mom OG.
While the 26-year-old mother to Sophia told E! News she had "no comment [in] regards to any of the other girls," she did express concern over the parent company's treatment of the cast members.
"I can't confirm what MTV is doing to try to save the 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom franchise since my departure," she told E! News exclusively, "but I do hope Viacom starts treating the women and children better. That is my statement as I move on to my next projects."

Nuance Communications has announced that Eastern Bank, the largest and oldest mutual bank in the United States, has deployed its voice biometrics technology.
Previously, when Eastern Bank's customers contacted the Customer Service, they had to prove their identity by answering a series of security questions before proceeding with their phone call.
Now, when a customer calls Eastern Bank, they engage in natural conversation with a customer service agent, and during that time, Nuance's FreeSpeech voice biometrics technology is used to compare the customer's voice to their unique voiceprint, signaling to the bank representative when the customer's identity has been verified, and granting them access to their account.
Eastern Bank's voice biometrics project is part of a portfolio of technology investments aimed at reinventing how customers bank. Eastern's other publicly announced technology initiative, Eastern Labs, is unique among bank innovation groups in its mandate to both create new data-driven technologies and to spin successful technologies out into new companies.
"We heard from our customers that verifying their identity through answering security questions was a frustrating process – and we listened and made meaningful changes," said Bob Rivers, President and Chief Operating Office, Eastern Bank. "Voice biometrics allows our customers to get service in the most natural and intuitive way, through their voice. The end result is a better and more effortless experience for our customers."
"As the first bank in North America to launch voice biometrics in the call center, Eastern Bank is ahead of the innovation curve," said Robert Weideman, executive vice president and general manager for the Enterprise Division of Nuance. "Voice biometrics is a more natural experience for customers while also offering a level up in security. Through delivering this technology to its customers, Eastern Bank is demonstrating a true commitment to reinventing the customer experience."
New data from Opus Research shows that the voice biometrics authentication market is poised to grow from $200M (2013) to $750M globally in 2017. Nuance voice biometrics technology leads the industry, with over 50 million voiceprints deployed by its customers, representing over 80% of the commercial market.

Our studios have now been open for four glorious, hugely stressful and mildly successful years, and in that time, despite our natural urge to accumulate vast wealth and retire at 40, we've held our rates.
However, rent increases, rate and utility increases, and the ever spiralling price of the things we love, like avocados and gold have meant that 2018 is going to have to be the year of the mild hike.
We'd like to think that by now, our loyal (stay loyal) customer base know the effort and time we put into our facilities and service to make sure we offer one of the finest, friendliest creative spaces in the land.
Running a studio is no easy business, and the fact that since we've been open, four other studios in Bristol have closed is testament to that. But we can't keep it going at the same prices forever or we'll go the same way, so don't think of it as paying more and making us fabulously wealthy, just think of it as supporting your local studio and ensuring there will continue to be a quiet, conveniently located oasis of studio loveliness for years to come.
So that's the soft bit, here's the punch.
Price rises are between 10 and 15 per cent, so not too horrendous. Below is a breakdown by studio. These prices will be reflected on the individual studio pages from 1st March, and bookings after that time will be taken at the new rates.
Last Minute Deals
We plan on putting a page up on the site, which we'll update weekly with deals on the studio where we have unbooked spaces. If you're able to move quickly (within the space of a week most likely) then there will be some hefty discounts. Hefty. Discounts.
In the meantime, thanks for reading, and we look forward to having you spend slightly more money with us soon.

The man is in love with the woman. At the end of the song he cries out, "love you." She just sees him as a friend. She has a boyfriend. (I don't think husband, because once you are married, you really should not be sleeping with another man!). She may or may not have feelings for her friend too, but she is not in love with him. He has always longed for her, and this night, she sees him as more than a friend, which is what he's always wanted.

This song is about a one night stand. The end.

This song means saying goodbye with the old you, saying goodbye with the past hurts, past memories, past failures, past rejections, past disappointments, past hopes, past dreams and saying hello with the present and the future!
Goodbye Past!
Welcome Present and Future!

About this song, Dave speaks in his concert at Blue Note (Columbia, Mo - 22 October 1994): "So one time, uh, so one time, I'm stuck in a room, in a little house, and we're kinda snowed in. We got a little fire burning and there's a girl with me, who's a good friend of mine, and we're all alone, and she's got a boyfriend, and I got a girlfriend, but then one thing leads to another, and next day we're all kinda uncomfortable. *Ahem.* So that's, this song's called Say Goodbye"
This scenario will not happen if you truly love your significant other and you really treat your good friends as strictly friendship and you let them feel and be blunt at them that you are only friends. There will be no temptation of thinking of having an affair or something.
Also, those who are in a monogamous relationships are free to have many friends as they want as long as they are loyal and true to their significant other.
However, if one day you or your significant other or both of you became to close to a good friend of yours. It's better to set each other free and realize that you were never really meant for each other. But if you realize you truly love each other then continue your relationship.

I don't think this song is about death at all.
Say goodbye doesn't mean saying goodbye to life, it means saying goodbye to the idea of a relationship. The man in this song is clearly in love/lust with someone he cannot have because she has someone else in her life. Whether it's about timing or compatibility, they are unable to be together. And instead of leaving their significant others to explore a relationship between the two of them, they decide to cave into their desires and be with each other for the night. It's a morally corrupt song which I feel many people in a monogamous relationship can relate to - having that one person in your life that "got away", and succumbing to an evening of infediliy because it's easier than trying something new.
Just my thoughts :)

Dave said he wrote this song after him and a really good friend were away on business, and they were snowed in, and things happened, and it was weird because he had a girlfriend and she had a boyfriend. I feel like he knows what he is talking about.
anonymous Mar 14th, 2011 3:03pm report
This song is about a connection between a man and women who have been hiding their feelings for each other. One night they let all their fears and "wrongful" thoughts go, and live the life they've dreamed for just one night.
anonymous Jan 13th, 2010 1:04pm report
It's about a one night stand for sure, but she has a man. I used to love this song until my wife had an affair with my best friend. The interpretation of the song changed for me after that happened.
"But then tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends"
anonymous Feb 19th, 2009 2:46pm report
This song is the ultimate one night stand song. (i put lyrics which back my interpretation in parentheses
This guy likes the girl who he is hanging out with tonight (lyrics: here we are tonight you and me together)
and this guy just wants some amazing sex. (so stay here with me, just for a night just for this evening...and our tonge twist and sweat drips...)
Then tomorrow, we go back to pretending that nothing ever happened... (tomorrow, go back to being friends)
anonymous Sep 21st, 2008 9:22pm report
The song isn't about dying. The song is about the end of a friendship. Throughout the song he's talking about taking the relationship to the next level. He knows that everything changes after this night, but he's trying to convince himself that it won't.
anonymous Feb 15th, 2008 2:05pm report
I have an early recording of this song and it's not 100% clear but it's clear enough that at the beginning he says "This song is about dying, it's called Say Goodbye!" So I'm trying to find out how this relates to dying
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
anonymous Jun 28th, 2007 6:21am report
Basically this song is one of the hottest Dave songs period. It is all of the above and just makes you want to shag that one close hot friend of yours that you either have (and is a secret to others) or want to. Well at least it's how it makes me feel.
anonymous Dec 5th, 2006 12:24pm report
look, its basically about friends with benefits, ok?
anonymous Aug 1st, 2006 8:26pm report
This song isn't about a one night stand, it's about a guy who's in love with his friend, and tries to assure her, as well as himself, that after they have sex that one night everything will go back to the way it was, which is why it sounds like a love song.

Steephead parrotfish (Chlorurus microrhinos) rotationally harvest their favorite food and then defend their feeding territory.

Farming Fish
Researchers identify movement patterns of a parrotfish that rotationally harvests its favorite algae and defends its feeding territory
By Julie Cohen
Steephead parrotfish (Chlorurus microrhinos) are picky eaters. In the central Pacific, however, they appear to have taken matters into their own hands — er, fins.
A new study by UC Santa Barbara marine biologists shows for the first time that these large algae-eaters rotationally harvest their favorite food and then defend their feeding territory while the food patches recuperate sufficiently for the fleshy turf algae to return. The team's findings — along with another paper by the same authors, describing movement patterns of C. microrhinos — appear in the Marine Ecology Progress Series.
"Herbivores are really important for coral reef ecology because there's a constant battle between coral and algae," explained Peter Carlson, lead author of the first paper. Carlson is a researcher in the Caselle Lab at UCSB's Marine Science Institute (MSI). "Anything that can remove algae is essentially considered a net positive for coral growth."
On Palmyra atoll, steephead parrotfish allow areas where they leave bite scars to recover before reharvesting their favorite turf algae.

Working on Palmyra atoll, 1,000 miles south of Hawaii, the researchers noticed an abundance of bite scars in very small areas of algae growing on dead coral. They followed these patches through time and found parrotfish were feeding heavily in each patch for a short period of time. Then, the fish would allow that exact location to recover before returning to harvest the algae again.
"The fish would come back to the same area and defend it against other individuals of the same species," Carlson said. "Essentially, they're farming by using their environment very strategically."
It turns out these parrotfishes are doing a service to the coral reef. Turf algae have been shown to be harmful, even lethal, to juvenile corals. When the parrotfish bites scrape the coral, they create pockets of space without the algae, which may enable tiny coral larvae to settle and grow.

"In the habitat dominated by this low-lying turf algae, we saw this intensive feeding behavior of the parrotfish," Carlson noted. "But in coral-dominated areas, their feeding, while still concentrated, was spread over a much greater area."
This research clearly demonstrates that the movement patterns of these parrotfish are influenced by the available food in a particular habitat. It also highlights the importance of variation in food availability to their social structure.
"In places where there was lots of the turf algae that they like to eat, we saw only big males," said co-author Katie Davis, a researcher in the Caselle Lab. "There were hardly any smaller individuals or females. However, in coral-dominated sites, we saw more of a haremic social structure, with one or two large males accompanying a group of smaller females."
The second paper took a multiscale approach to tracking parrotfish movements, which is important information for conservation purposes. Because herbivores support coral reef health, many are safeguarded in marine protected areas. But to properly create and manage adequate space for these fish, managers need to know the range of their movements.
To make that determination, the researchers used long-term acoustic monitoring to track patterns over the years. They also monitored the animals from a boat to document their daily space use and employed fine-scale GPS tracking to measure their meter-scale movements over a couple of hours. Taken together, these different scales and varied tools confirm that the impact of individual parrotfish feeding is confined to small areas, even though their overall range is quite large.
"We found they were moving more than a kilometer offshore almost on a daily basis and that those movements were synced with tidal cycles," lead author Davis explained. "We concluded that they were likely going offshore to spawn because many coral reef fishes sync their spawning excursions to tidal cycles. However, the extent of these large movements had not been previously reported in this species, which is new information that managers can use when designing spatial protections."
According to MSI research biologist Jennifer Caselle, co-author on both papers, this research demonstrates the need for multiple tools to comprehensively understand the movement and behavior of coral reef parrotfishes.
"Our studies on Palmyra are providing information on a species whose abundance has been reduced greatly due to overfishing in most areas of the world," Caselle said. "Yet this is the type of fish that people want to bring back to help save coral reefs, so it's important to understand their behavior."

Still Life: Local Photographers Capture Historic Mesa Temple Images
As soon as the announcement was made for the Mesa Arizona temple closure and renovation, Karyann Hoopes sent out a message to her friends and fellow photographers. What had started out as a small Facebook group called Temple Talk had now turned into a tight-knit mentoring group. Fellow photographer Alan Fullmer, of Cedar Hills, Utah, formed the group to help others with fine tuning their skills and showcasing each other's talents. Even though they are often competitors, these photographers say their love for the temples and for the Savior far outweigh any of their monetary gains.
"Within minutes, I was typing, 'Come down, have dinner, stay at my house and let's go out and shoot some photos before it closes,'" says Karyann, of the San Tan Ward, Queen Creek South Stake. "So many people wanted the temple to stay the same; there are several generations of history and legacy there at the Mesa Temple. We all knew in some sense that we just had to capture it, the way it was, before it all changed."
As a result, just prior to the closing of the temple, this photographers group got together for a day to capture images of the historic building and the surrounding grounds. Seven of the group of eighteen were available to gather to share in this activity. The group included Karyann, the organizer, from Queen Creek, Brooks Crandall and Richard Webb, who are both from Mesa, Jason Miller, who is from Chandler, and Jimmy Paderla, who lives in Gilbert. The two out-of-staters were Lance Bertola, from Mr. Pleasant, Utah, and Rory Wallwork, from Clinton, Utah.
"We spent about 2 hours shooting and capturing what we could," says Karyann, "I knew we were capturing history, because the temple wasn't going to look the same after the magic of the renovations was finished. I often joke that we are the temple paparazzi, because that is what we look like when we all get together. Many neighbors saw us while we were there and came over to chat and fill us in on the details of changes they thought were going to take place, as well as property changes that had happened in the neighborhood."
"Nothing had been formally announced at that time," says Karyann,
"but it turned out all the things they had mentioned were pretty accurate, once the official word came down about the changes being made. We all love the temple, and what a unique experience it was for us to see it and capture it, a few weeks before it was changed forever."

The Olympic spirit returns
16th Winter Deaflympics welcome global athletes
Sports will shine a spotlight on deaf culture when the 16th Winter Deaflympics begin Friday in Salt Lake City.
About 365 deaf and hearing impaired athletes from 24 countries will compete through Feb. 10 in five sports at venues in Park City, Midway and Salt Lake City. Two Utahns are among them: snowboarders Jeff Pollock and Carina Crosby. Three-thousand spectators are expected.
Salt Lake City now becomes the first city in the world to stage three sporting events sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee - Olympics, Paralympics for athletes with a physical disability and the Deaflympics.
"There's a special spirit with the Olympics, and the Deaflympics carries that same spirit," said Dwight Benedict, 2007 Deaflympics organizing committee chairman. "We chose Salt Lake City for the same reason the Olympics came here in 2002 - because of the facilities."
The University of Utah's Huntsman Center will be the site of Saturday night's Opening Ceremony. The Closing Ceremony is Feb. 10 at the Salt Palace Convention Center, where nearly 50 companies and nonprofit groups also will display goods and services for the deaf community Friday and Saturday.
Sports competitions will be at Park City Mountain Resort (Alpine skiing and snowboarding), Soldier Hollow (cross country skiing) and Steiner Ice Center (hockey and curling). Nightly medals ceremonies also will be (at Steiner.
Pulling it together has not been easy, particularly since organizers faced marketing limitations because the U.S. Olympic Committee was adamant about protecting its exclusive rights to the "lympic" brand. But, as Benedict noted, "we're used to the challenge. We face many barriers throughout our lives. But that never stopped us."
Organizers have raised close to $1.4 million to stage the games through sponsorships, most significantly Salt Lake-based Sorenson Communications, which provide communications services, including ground-breaking videophones.
Sorenson, whose ranks include former Olympic organizer Dave Johnson, helped secure Mary Rusznak to serve as chief operating officer. A veteran of nine Olympics, including 2002, Rusznak developed a system to transport participants between sports venues and three downtown Salt Lake City hotels - Little America, Red Lion and Sheraton - as well as a ticketing program at Little America and Steiner Ice Center.
Other Utahns stepped forth to showcase deaf culture.
Three dozen Intermountain Health Care employees will handle medical issues. Roughly 325 sign language interpreters were enlisted. The U.S. Postal Service created a postmark to honor the occasion. Videophones are being installed at Salt Lake City International Airport, competition venues and hotels. Three deaf artists will put on programs in Salt Lake Valley schools.
Hundreds of students from the Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind - and their families - will participate in the Opening Ceremony. Its theme, "Inspiration Within," is a takeoff on the 2002 slogan, "Light The Fire Within."
Lori Rupp, a Cyprus High School teacher and coach of the University of Utah's Crimson Line and cheerleaders, choreographed the show for 150 dancers, dubbed "Inspiration Performers." Her assistants included several Crimson Line members majoring in speech therapy, communications disorders or American Sign Language.
For Opening Ceremony Producer Jim McNeil, whose United Concerts career has been built around loud rock acts, the experience has been eye-opening. "This is a very different undertaking, just trying to rethink what a show looks like knowing that we'll have probably 80 percent of the audience non-hearing," he said. "We've had some good conversations with deaf people saying 'No, this is not what we want,' and gone back to the drawing board to find out what will work and be meaningful for everybody."
Park City Mountain Resort officials went through a seminar to help them anticipate better what deaf visitors might want.
"They'll go into Legacy Lodge and want something to eat or need something at a ski shop, so we're trying it make it easier for them," said race department manager Karen Korfanta.
But her main focus will be on "providing a good environment for them to perform at their best."
Students at the Soldier Hollow Charter School also are working on ways "to welcome them and make them feel at home."
Said Principal Chuck Weber: "We emphasize language in our school. Our kids are all verbal and count on that as the only way to communicate. For our kids to recognize the difficulty others go through without that capacity, and to see how [deaf people] can communicate quite well using other language capabilities, will be a wonderful learning experience."From The Salt Lake Tribune.

I love TED talks. I've watched some really great ones. If I were to give a TED talk about something that were outside of my main area of expertise, it might be about the importance of taking time out for yourself. Or it might be how writing can keep you from going insane. Or perhaps simply how to crochet a scarf. I've crocheted enough scarves to feel like I could give a TED Talk on the subject. Bullet points could include how to pick the right yarn for your project, what stitches to use, and how to embellish. I once watched a TED talk on how to tie your shoes, which if I wore shoes that I had to tie would have been life changing.
What topic would you speak about if you were asked to give a TED talk on something outside of your main area of expertise? If you wouldn't give one, is there a particular TED Talk that inspired you or really got you thinking?

My first name is Talin (pronounced Tah-leen) and if we ever meet in person then I can run you through how to pronounce my last name (it looks harder than it sounds!). I'm a native Houstonian with an affinity for this city and I also happen to have a love for all things visual and creative. I'm an experienced visual communicator with skills and talents that go beyond designing. I have over 10 years of professional design experience, and in that relative time I've had the pleasure of building my skills in concept development, research, execution of print, web and social media marketing and advertising campaigns, identity design, signage, social media best practices, information graphics, art direction, photography and a lot of project management. I immensely enjoy the process of forming ideas, envisioning a project's potential and a user's experience and delivering my best effort on every project from ideation to creation. My communication methodology is driven by purpose and problem solving.
I received my BFA from the University of Texas at Arlington 2008. My invaluable foundations to intermediate graphic communication studies were completed at the University of Houston.
Currently, I am a full-time designer at Boxer Property—I mostly design for major marketing campaigns and promotional efforts. I occasionally take professional photos, and I design materials for Boxer's technology company Stemmons Enterprise.
In my personal time, I am a nature enthusiast and photographer.
More of my portrait photography can be viewed here.
Nice things have been said about me!
"Although her core skill set is Graphic Design, Talin has proven to be a very capable Public Relations team member for the Houston Chapter of AIGA. In 2012 she has proven instrumental in promoting many of our high profile events, writing press releases for media release, working with publications on press coverage, developing hashtags for Twitter and Instagram and assisting the web team on migrating email marketing platforms from Constant Contact to MailChimp.
One area where Talin has shown very specific initiative has been her willingness to take ownership of our Instagram presence and building a new high-growth community there, engaging with followers, sponsors and venues there and generating a significant amount of real time buzz in advance of events.
She brings a willingness to engage with new platforms and adapt to new ideas and has an eye for detail that is very critical for content and email campaigns that reaches thousands of constituents on a daily basis.
2013 looks to be a very exciting year for AIGA Houston and Talin is an integral component of our online and offline strategy with engaging the public. She would make an invaluable addition to any creative/communications team."
John Luu

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The search for "the one" is just a click away these days.
"It's kinda becoming a norm. It's not weird anymore to say 'yeah, I'm online dating,'" said Cristy Marrero.
Marrero met her current boyfriend of three years online.
Dating apps and websites like eHarmony and match.com have millions of subscribers, like Marrero, looking for love.

But looking for "the one" can also be dangerous.
Criminals are stalking singles as easy prey.
"There is always some kind of danger associated with dating apps these days. We keep hearing about some sort of scam or something happening to somebody," said David Pedersen, the Senior Manager at Zoosk, which is the number one mobile dating app. "Listen, if there is a member that is dangerous, it's not even a thought. We just take them off."
But it could already be too late. The dating apps have GPS features which is how they pair you with singles in your area. On some sites, they identify people who are online as close as a few hundred feet away. Strangers can meet… with few details, besides a picture and a first name.
But Zoosk just implemented a safety measure called "Photo Verification."
"It allows you to upload a second video of yourself. You send it in to the moderator and a human person looks at it and says does this line up with the photos you have on your profile and if it does then we give you a check mark saying you are photo verified," said Pedersen.
The photo verification feature drastically minimizes the number of fake profiles on Zoosk.
"We've seen that it's attracting more members because they know that if they speak to a person who has verified check mark they are going to meet that person."
And the need for safer ways of meeting singles is becoming necessary with more and more people turning to dating websites and apps instead of bars and happy hours.
A new Pew Center study shows that 11 percent of American adults have dated someone they met online. That's up 3 percent from 2008.
Marrero has always taken precautions when she was on the online dating scene.
"I had this one friend that I would tell about my date and I would just take a screen shot of the profile of the person or send her the link of the person's profile and say I am going to be here from this time to this time and I'll call you afterwards," Marrero said.
Make sure you tell someone where you are and should also always meet someone in a public place and even suggest asking for identification to make sure the person you are meeting is who they say they are.

Ever notice the little string of mid century homes on 51st near Mueller? Well now there is one less and in it's place is this attached condo. While I think I personally would have preferred the home that was there before you have to at least give the developer kudos for getting a bit creative with this build. The interiors are great and the shipping container office in the back yard is pretty cool too.

Our objective is to evaluate whether inhibition of alpha M beta2integrin-dependent leukocyte infiltration into peripheral nerves is a specific therapy for acute peripheral nerve inflammation seen in immune-mediated disorders and neuropathic pain. Using acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP;the most common variant of Guillain-Barr? syndrome [GBS]) as an example of acute severe peripheral nerve inflammation, we propose to address a fundamental question: Is blockade of ?M integrin (CD11b) a potential treatment strategy for acute peripheral neuritis? Based on our exciting new preliminary data using in vitro and in vivo approaches, we propose the following hypothesis: ?M?2 integrin expressed on activated hematogenous monocytes and lymphocytes and ICAM-1 expressed on activated endoneurial endothelial cells interact and recruit pathogenic mononuclear leukocytes across the blood-nerve barrier in AIDP. As an extension of this, we propose that competitive inhibition with an ?M integrin monoclonal antibody would reduce pathogenic leukocyte trafficking at the blood-nerve barrier. Reduction in leukocyte infiltration ino peripheral nerves would limit the harmful consequences of severe peripheral nerve inflammation, demyelination and axonal injury in GBS. This strategy provides an opportunity to develop a novel targeted therapy for AIDP and neuropathic pain. In order to address this hypothesis, we will determine that a function neutralizing monoclonal antibody against human ?M integrin reduces trafficking of untreated AIDP patient peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes on a novel cytokine-stimulated human in vitro blood-nerve barrier model that incorporates capillary flow rates. Trafficking events would be captured in real-time and quantified by video microscopy. We will also evaluate the effect of ?M integrin blockade on the behavioral, electrophysiological and histopathological features of acute peripheral nerve inflammation, demyelination and axonal injury in a severe, reliable GBS mouse model, using our published methods. Current therapies for GBS and other peripheral nerve inflammatory disorders, as well neuropathic pain are non-specific and partly effective. This proposal is a preclinical evaluation of ?M integrin antagonism as a targeted anti-inflammatory therapy for AIDP. Inhibiting disease-specific inflammatory pathways has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of acute, severe peripheral nerve inflammation. The proposed work could lead towards the development of novel monoclonal antibody therapies for phase I clinical trials in AIDP and other inflammatory neuropathies, such as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (an under-recognized neuropathy that may account for 14% of disabling neuropathies in patients over 65 years of age), as well as neuropathic pain.
The purpose of our work is to discover a new treatment for the most common peripheral nerve inflammatory disease called Guillain-Barr? syndrome (GBS). GBS equally affects both sexes, all ages, racial/ ethnic groups and socioeconomic status. By finding new treatments for GBS, we can hopefully better treat or cure this problem, improve the lives of patients and their families, and reduce the financial burden of this and similar diseases, such as Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) and neuropathic pain, on the health care system nationally and internationally.

1819 Launch ILB, I was just about to do the dishes, oh well! Into the car and down to the Station. Given the time of day and that it's an ILB only page, I don't anticipate making it on the shout, I live too far away.
There are a good few cars at the boat house already. I jog in asking "have you got enough" "yes" is the answer. The shout is to a 30ft yacht which has gone aground on the rocks in the harbour. The tide is rising, but the wind has her pinned on an unmarked reef on an lee shore. "You might as well get dressed" the helm said to me, "it's in the harbour, we can take four, one of us might need to go on aboard". Aaaaah, I need this. I've had one of those days, a knock down and you lose your sense of direction, kind of days. Putting my drysuit, my thoughts are grounded again. Our LOM or ALB coxswain, I can't remember which, did a crew count as we went "Four good strong hands there, good oh". Sometimes the smallest of sentences make the biggest of differences.
We push the ILB down the slipway and off the trailer, there are four helms aboard, so the operation is pretty slick, one is already on the VHF to the coastguard, "jump in and start her" I'm told…. "Ok then… I think….." Engine down, astern gear in as the lads jump in keeping us off the same lee shore we're headed for just round the corner. I am home where I belong.
All aboard, I spin her round and we're away. Assessing the situation, the general consensus is to hold her off and let the tide rise. I take us alongside, close to her keel, thinking if she's sat there then we're good here, I know the reef is pretty flat. We spent many a moment as kids in Oppies stuck and wading around that very spot in these conditions.
We have a chat with the skipper. The boat is at present anchored at her bow. We suggest transferring his anchor into the ILB so we can set it for him upwind and he can kedge himself off as the tide rises. We're at around mid range, so the rise is quick enough. He has 30m of chain and then rope. We get all the chain on board before I reverse us out slowly while he makes off the warp on the bow paying out the slack to us. Gradually some load comes on, we run out of warp and start paying out the chain. All of a sudden "pop" she's away….
And now heading straight for us at full speed. Now, I am well used to my tows of dinghies overtaking me under their own momentum, or a gust of wind, but not under full power and aiming straight for us. This yacht has a white hull and red antifoul, it came very close to us. I somehow managed to dodge the yacht and then spin the ILB round so both boats are now pointing the same way and I can pace the yacht. At this point we still have her anchor and all the chain in the ILB, they have the other end of the warp around a cleat. The experience of the crew meant the warp was quickly untied from the anchor chain in our boat, no discussion or instruction needed, just experience and intuition. I'm just trying to hold her steady in the sweet spot between the bow and stern waves. We both succeed and our rather unusual "tow" is released.
Next, to get them on a mooring. No visitors moorings in the harbour it would seem. No wonder no one wants to visit! There is a harbour mooring free, but the buoy has no strops on it, making it impossible to pass a line through the ring without the aid of a dinghy. Now we are not in the tropics, we are on a lee shore with a choppy force 5 making things tricky. And of course, it is cold, we don't just hop in a dinghy here, especially one you have to inflate and then row! They had a couple of attempts at getting the bow close enough to the mooring for us to pass a line through. With an interesting and somewhat unconventional mooring method, where I once again saw too much of that red antifoul, we got a line through the ring and back to the yacht. He made it fast, I backed us the hell out of there quickly, with some assistance from the wind pushing us out before the line went tight and he made it fast. Phew!
We tie up alongside and I am sent on board to help sort the mooring out with him. We double the lines up, both still rigged to slip as we realise he would otherwise have to leave a line on the mooring. Not ideal, but it set good on a bridle with and independent back up. The skipper was happy with it.
Meanwhile the other lads have realised that the other person on board is still gripping the wheel and not looking too great. While I'm messing with lines, the knowledge, understanding and people skills of our team come out. They are quickly aware of a potential situation and have in in control and resolved, without any of a word needed between our crew. It turns out it was a visiting yacht with two people on board, they had just completed a nine and a half hour passage, slogging against the wind, to arrive here and hit the unmarked reef. At a guess they slowed down as they ran aground leaving the wind to do the rest, she was pinned on the lee shore, fortunately on a rising tide.
Less than an hour from the pager going we are "Back on Station and ready for service".

This is part of Marc H. Ellis's "Exile and the Prophetic" feature for Mondoweiss. To read the entire series visit the archive page.
The world is awakening to the news of the death of Shimon Peres, the last liberal lion of the founders of the state of Israel. He was 93 years old. Yet the real meaning of Peres's life will be decided in the future. That future is troubling. It has already arrived.
As a military and political person, Peres did it all from the beginning of the state of Israel. Peres fought for the new born state of Israel, held many and varied political offices during the course of Israel's history, including Prime Minister and President, played a key role in Israel's development of nuclear weapons and encouraged and augmented Israel's settlement project in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
As important was Peres's role in portraying Israel as a Jewish and democratic state around the world. In this latter project, so important to Israel and Jews in the Diaspora, Peres succeeded magnificently during most of his long life. Yet, it is exactly here that Peres faltered in his later years, partly as his age increased but more importantly because the tide of history turned. Today, portraying Israel as a refuge for Jews, as innocent, under siege and as a beacon of light, is unacceptable. It is impossible.
From the beginning, Palestinians knew a different Israel and, with time, more and more Jews do, too. Though Peres will be widely celebrated in the upper echelons of American and European power in the coming days, like Elie Wiesel, the Holocaust sage, who died some months ago, Peres will be remembered for enabling a narrative of Jewish innocence and redemption that was, also, something much more sinister from the beginning.
With Peres's death, the issue of the future of Israel and Jewish life becomes more urgent. Though, again like Wiesel with the Holocaust, Peres sought to create a lasting legacy enshrined in Jewish history, now their legacy and Jewish history itself are in doubt. Building on the legacy of the Holocaust and Israel seems dubious. The ground beneath our feet is uncertain.
Entering the Jewish High Holiday season, a time of reflection and confession, what are Jews to do? Wiesel and Peres dedicated their lives to a project that deflects Jewish culpability in the oppression of the Palestinian people. Though world leaders will gather for Peres's funeral in the coming days, Jews need to mourn aspects of the violence Wiesel and Peres enabled. The idea of Jews simply finishing the job that Wiesel and Peres began, viewing their legacy as simply unfinished, won't do either.
Israel has embarked wholesale on the displacement and ghettoization of the Palestinian people. The trajectory Wiesel's and Peres's life is a dead-end for Palestinians and Jewish history, if one believes that without an ethical center, Jewish life is truncated, if not voided altogether.
Was Shimon Peres's life wasted, culpable, to be derided in Jewish history and the history of peoples around the world, including and especially the Palestinian people? In the coming days, we will hear more about Peres's accomplishments than explore the content of these dissident thoughts. To speak about the end of Jewish innocence will be seen as a betrayal.
Perhaps a rabbi or two will parse Peres's life during the upcoming Days of Awe. More likely, however, most rabbis, like our political leaders, will laud Pere's life and further postpone the confession so central to the Jewish future.

Hi, new to the forum and was wondering if anybody out there in this big old world is from Joplin, Missouri or the surrounding areas? I live in Kansas, but about three miles away from Joplin. I don't know if I could ever get lucky finding someone so close to share PC with! There's not any churches around here that focus on PC but finding PC has opened my thoughts up about Jesus and I want to attend a church to see what that's all about. (I'm Hindu by nature, not nurture...I'm not an Indian and never really fit in anywhere). I want to give Christianity a try. I'm thinking about going to a Disciples of Christ church because it seems to be the most liberal around here. Anybody have any thoughts on that as well? Perhaps someone could give me some advice...Thanks!
Book I Just Read....
Geaniebeanie posted a topic in Media- music, film, TV etcI just read a book that came out some time ago called "Thank God for Evolution" by Michael Dowd. Pretty interesting read. I'm guessing many people have probably read it around here. My question is this: Does this book accurately depict Progressive Christianity? I haven't been PC for very long and picked this book up by chance. One of the reasons the book appealed to me is because I'm so interested in evolution. Yes, I'm an admirer of Richard Dawkins, though I'm not an Atheist. I thought the book was pretty profound, but it smacked of Pantheism. Is that really what PC is? Perhaps Panentheism?
Hello Everyone! I'm Looking For Friends!
Geaniebeanie replied to Geaniebeanie's topic in Introduce Yourself!Thanks for the welcome! Ah, the weather in Kansas...What's that old saying...? If you don't like the weather just wait five minutes. As I write this, we're getting snow (but not much so far) and there's been a bunch of school and church cancellations for Cherokee county and the surrounding areas. I'm supposed to take my cat to the vet tomorrow: that might have to wait for another day. Just a check up, nothing serious. :-) I'm also scheduled for therapy tomorrow but they cancel at the sight of snowflakes. I'm wondering if there's anyone on this forum from Kansas or Joplin, Missouri (we're about three miles away). You suppose I should start a new thread asking? I really don't know what I'm doing with forums. Computer illiterate!
Hello Everyone! I'm Looking For Friends!
Geaniebeanie posted a topic in Introduce Yourself!Hello to all! I'm so happy to be here! Here's a little information about myself: I was raised in a conservative Southern Baptist household. In about 1999 or thereabouts, I figured out that Jesus and what I was being taught was not the only path to god. I had a lot of love for a higher power but was not religious until 2001, when I discovered Hinduism. I should mention that I'm Caucasian and from Southeast Kansas. I never connected with anyone with my new found faith, and had to keep it a secret. I was lonely, but I had strong faith. In 2013 I lost faith. I don't know what happened. I'd call it a midlife crisis, but I'm only 37. I was looking for god again, and thought maybe Christianity would give me just what I needed: new found faith and friendship with others. (I'm a bit of a shut in; I have Bipolar Disorder and a bad anxiety disorder so it's hard for me to make friends. I thought church would be a good place to start.) My husband and I went to an Episcopalian service and it was quite nice. I wanted to familiarize myself with Christianity so I bought a bible and stared reading, front to back. What a mistake! My new found faith in Christianity was crushed because I simply could not accept the god of the bible, although I did like the works of Jesus. I'm very logical and a scientist by heart (though not by trade: I'm a housewife) and the bible had no place in my life. I have been struggling for half a year now with religion, beliefs and faith. I've waffled between this religion and the next, and finally decided I must be an atheist. While I do have a lot of atheistic views, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I needed more in my life than just facts. I needed spirituality. I needed a higher power. By chance I discovered Progressive Christianity. I was blown away by what I found. I didn't know there were others out there in the world with my frame of mind. I've checked, and unfortunately there are no progressive churches in my area (big sigh of disappointment) but then I found this forum! I'm hoping to expand my mind a little and hopefully make some friends here and have some much needed fellowship. I'm pretty new to forums, so bear with me if I screw anything up! Thanks for reading!

This lovely early review from the book trade journal 'Bookseller + PublisHING' has just been unlocked from the archives.
Palace of Tears (Julian Leatherdale, A&U)
26 February 2015 Unlocked content from the archive.
Fans of historical sagas will be satiated with this epic tale of family, mystery and passion set against the backdrop of an opulent Blue Mountains hotel. Facing her mother's decline from Alzheimer's, Lisa is spurred into delving into her family's past by a historian researching the family's former hotel. Based on the real Hydro Majestic, the hotel bears witness to history, from the Edwardian era to the Jazz Age, both World Wars, and into the 1950s, and brings to light Australia's horrific treatment of 'enemy aliens' during the wars. The book, like the glamorous hotel it celebrates, brims with detail, amid great love affairs, tragedies, hidden identities, art, scandal, fame and bushfires. The picturesque Blue Mountains region also plays a vivid role. The third-person narrative and clear chapter headings make the plot easy to follow, despite the jumps in time required by this genre. Some reduction in detail may have been beneficial, and an unsolved element was puzzling. Minor quibbles aside, however, the tension climbs tightly towards a cracker of an ending. This book should attract a broad readership—its historical and local content is likely to appeal to a cross-section of fiction readers—and don't be surprised to find it adapted for the screen. This is the first novel from Blue Mountains-based writer Julian Leatherdale.

The church on the village green dates back to a time long ago! There is also a fair share of industrial and residential buildings from the second half of the twentieth century as most of Lichtenberg was destroyed during the war. The huge Zoo in Friedrichsfelde is really worth a visit – it is set on the former palace park and with over 160 hectares, it is one of the largest in the world. By the way, people are starting to get interested in Lichtenberg again – more and more younger people, families and students are settling down here.

I moved from London, England in 1994, and unfortunately it's been ten years now since I've gone back for a visit. Ten years is a LONG time. Lately, I've started to become crazy when anything British-related has caught my attention.
It got really bad during the Snowpocalypse when I watched 5 seasons straight of a BBC show called Monarch of the Glen, which is set in Scotland. My tea drinking went on a spike (I wanted to be like the actors who either drank tea or whiskey in every scene....so I chose the healthier option), so did my love for Jammie Dodgers and basically anything to do with my childhood. Also, my friends and poor Dan get at least one image of Scotland/England a day in their email and a rant about how amazing it would be to go to Edinburgh or the Scottish Highlands or the Yorkshire moors.
Anyway, I had a bit of a chuckle today when I looked in my tea cabinet and saw these:
Trader Joe's Irish Breakfast Tea - sorry, no photo!
Taylors of Harrogate's Yorkshire Gold (my fave)
Murroughs Welsh Brew
Taylors of Harrogate's Scottish Breakfast Tea
At least I covered all the parts of the UK, right?
Dan, honey, I think it's time I go back for a vacation hahahahaha
Also - why am I bringing this up on a Taste of Baltimore blog? Well, I purchased Trader Joe's Irish tea at the TJ's in Towson, and the rest from Baltimore Coffee and Tea! :)
Oh, hey, tomorrow is the last day to enter the McCormick and Schmick's $25 gift certificate giveaway! I hope you entered :)

Pepsi has removed a controversial ad featuring Kendall Jenner that was criticized for co-opting imagery from the Black Lives Matter movement.
The ad, which was first posted yesterday, depicts young people in a protest march, laughing and holding up generic signs saying "Join the conversation." At the end, Jenner gives a can of Pepsi to a police officer, which causes the crowd to applaud and the officer to smile.
It immediately received backlash on social media, with critics pointing out that the imagery evoked the now-famous photo of Black Lives Matter protester Ieshia Evans being arrested by cops at a protest in Baton Rouge -- but replacing her with a white supermodel.
In a statement, Pepsi apologized for the ad: "Pepsi was trying to project a global a message of unity, peace and understanding. Clearly, we missed the mark, and we apologize. We did not intend to make light of any serious issue. We are pulling the content and halting any further rollout. We also apologize for putting Kendall Jenner in this position."
