Last Saturday, we went up to Washington, DC for the weekend to visit good friends and attend their annual party at their new town home in the city. Since it was exactly 4 weeks out from the Marine Corps Marathon, I needed to get in a long run and what better timing than to be in the city where I could run on the marathon course. Prior to our trip, I scoped out the 2009 marathon course (which has changed a bit from the course I ran in 2006) and than mapped my own 22-23 miler that would include a good portion of the course I will be running on October 25.
I run with a digital runner's watch that uses pedometer functionality to fairly accurately gauge my time and distance. I use gmap.pedometer.com to map out and estimate mileage on my route and than compare it to my watch results and record it on my runner's log at LogYourRun.com. Gmap is powered by Google Maps. For those of you who are friends with me on facebook.com or followers of my fan page for the marathon charity run on facebook, you also know that LogYourRun syncs with facebook and posts run results as they are logged for my status. Additionally, my facebook fan page syncs with my twitter page and tweets my updates to my followers. At the end of the day, these technologies aren't necessary but they make training more fun, have encouraged me to work harder since my training results and race times are public and most importantly; they create buzz about my fund raising effort for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation and my running of the marathon on their team.
So this past Saturday, my long run started off on Pennsylvania Avenue as I exited the Foggy Bottom metro station and took me through Georgetown, along the Capital Crescent Trail, along Rock Creek Parkway, past the JFK Center, Lincoln Memorial, FDR Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, around Hains Point Park, past the Washington Monument, up Constitution Ave, past the Smithsonian American History and Natural History museums, past the US Capitol, down Jefferson Dr, past the Smithsonian American Indian and Air and Space museums, the Smithsonian Castle, the Holocaust museum, across the Potomac River, along the Mt Vernon Trail, across the Potomac again, back through Georgetown and again back to Pennsylvania Avenue. The total mileage was roughly 22.5 miles with about a .5 mile walk to the metro.
I had a great run and felt pretty good and strong throughout. There were plenty of other runners out there with me, some alone and many with groups. I ran with my fuel belt carrying 4 bottles of Powerade (same brand and flavor as the marathon will have in a month) and a couple energy gels. Luckily, I found a team water cooler on the backside of the Lincoln Memorial and refilled my bottles with plain water about mile 14. I really think running the course in advance will help me a lot on race day and covering the distance at a reasonable pace last weekend has done a lot for my confidence. Obviously, race day will be harder since its 26.5; not 22.5 miles and because the crowd around me will severly impact my time during the first 1/3 of the race. I got 3.5 more weeks of runs in Raleigh to go before race day and that also leaves YOU with 25 days to donate to my cause. Thanks for your support and stay tuned for more hot blog action about race day.
Carpe Viam!

itt hitmontop gets outclassed by a fusion of breloom, scizor, weavile, mienshao, bisharp, terrakion and lucario.
fake out+mach punch+sucker punch allows you to revenge a bunch of stuff that breloom could only dream of and the bulk allows you to switch into stuff like scarf terrakion or latios in a pinch. you're also seriously underestimating how much a LO Close Combat hurts. technitop is a great utility pokemon to have on your team as he gives you a safety blanket that not many non-choice'd pokemon can hope to offer.
when did we become so hyper-critical with regards to what gets a set and what doesn't that people are sitting here and saying, without a hint of irony, that 'breloom is a better user of mach punch and terrakion is a better user of CC and Ambipom is a better user of Fake Out and Bisharp is a better user of Sucker Punch thetefore technitop shouldn't get a set.' do me a favour...

Anonymous blogger, inspectorgadget
POLICE are powerless to stop armed raiders ripping out cash machines across the UK, says a serving officer.
The inspector claims budget cuts mean officers are not equipped to deal with hardened criminals who use diggers to steal ATMs.
He said smash-and-grab raids are on the rise and are carried out by heavily-armed traveller gangs who are not afraid of the police.
In his anonymous blog, inspectorgadget, he said: If an insomniac wandering about in the early hours sees such a raid and calls it in we have to respond.
When we eventually arrive, single crewed or, if we are lucky, double crewed, if the offenders are still there or if we come across the convoy making off we can expect to be met with extreme violence by at least eight hardened criminals.
They are better armed than us and will ram our family saloon cars off the road in an instant.
He admitted that in some parts of the country police forces are so short of officers that thieves rule the streets.
He added: If the police are caught in the open they will be met with baseball bats, iron bars and firearms. They will also be heavily outnumbered.
Even if we manage to get one of the countys very few police dogs to respond, the dogs can be stabbed or shot and the handlers beaten half to death. This has happened.
With our tiny numbers of police available for such a huge area, our pathetically underpowered vehicles and our uniquely unarmed status, the thieves rule this country at night now, not us.
There has been a spate of cash machine thefts across the country in the past year, mostly in rural areas.
The officer says more cash and resources are needed to help tackle the problem.
He added: We used to have a specialist unit, armed officers with detectives, suitable vehicles and a decent intelligence team but this was disbanded to save money.

Mentor OKs conditional use permits for karate school, cardio kickboxing gym
The Mentor Planning Commission has cleared the way for two fitness-related businesses to operate in the city.
The commission, at its Thursday night meeting, approved conditional use permits for a karate and fitness school and a cardio kickboxing gym.
Both businesses will operate out of multitenant buildings in Mentor: New World Karate and Fitness at 8361 Tyler Blvd.; and the Cardio "Jam Out" Program at 6158 Meadowbrook Drive.
New World Karate and Fitness will move to Mentor from Eastlake, where it has provided martial arts and fitness training for the last 17 years.
"We offer martial arts classes for children as well as adults," owner Mike Scaperato said Thursday during the meeting.
New World Karate and Fitness will occupy about 2,500 square feet in an existing multitenant building comprising about 9,200 square feet.
The Planning Commission voted 5-2 to approve the conditional use permit for New World Karate and Fitness.
Casting "no" votes were commission members Thomas P. Huth and Katherine Cimperman.
Before the vote was taken, Cimperman said there is no outside lighting in the building's parking lot.
"I don't think that's appropriate for evening classes at any of these facilities," she said. Continued...
But Mentor Planning Administrator Rick Spence said the building's parking lot has never been illuminated and the owner isn't required to install outside lighting.
Planning Commission Chairman William D. Snow suggested contacting the property owner about the issue.
"I think it's just a matter for the property owner to be cognizant that it's a concern for us," Snow said.
The commission voted 7-0 to approve the conditional use permit for the Cardio "Jam Out" Program, which will be operated by Denise Starr.
Plans call for Starr to conduct noncontact cardio kickboxing programs in a 1,200-square-foot space.
Cardio "Jam Out" will become part of a multitenant building that encompasses almost 11,000 square feet.
Music will be played during the exercise classes, but won't be loud enough to create noise disturbances for other building tenants, Starr said.
"For the most part, it's just background music," she said.

Lincoln Airport Authority Won't Ask for Tax Levy
In the authority's budget, there is once again no use of the tax levy the authority is authorized to make.
Property valuations throughout the city are up, raising the possibility that Lincoln property owners will pay more in taxes to the city and county governments, Lincoln Public Schools and other taxing authorities.
One agency that won't have its hand out is the Lincoln Airport Authority. In the authority's budget, adopted this week, there is once again no use of the tax levy the authority is authorized to make.
For the 20th year in a row, the airport expects to make enough money from its operations - leasing of property on the airfield and in the adjacent industrial park, fees for using runways and taxiways, and advertising and parking - to meet its financial obligations.
"The airport continues to be a tremendous asset to the community, and the fact that it is self-supporting makes it one of the best bargains local taxpayers get," airport director John Wood said.
It's unknown how common it is for an airport authority to forgo a tax levy, but among those joining Lincoln and Omaha's Eppley Airfield in doing so are airports in Louisville, Ky., and Green Bay, Wis.
The budget for the authority is $27.8 million and covers all airport operations and capital spending through June 30, 2007. The budget includes just more than $3 million in anticipated grants from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The authority's board Tuesday also approved two applications to the FAA for grants totaling $1.97 million for airfield maintenance and improvement work, as well as terminal building modifications.

Redknapp didn't want Pompey meeting
Published : 10 Apr 2010 09:38:25
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits facing his former club Portsmouth in the FA Cup semi-final was the draw he was dreading.
Redknapp has fond memories of his time at Fratton Park which included a cup triumph at Wembley before being tempted by White Hart Lane last season.
"I was pleased that Portsmouth got through but I really didn't want to draw them," Redknapp said.
"If I am honest I was hoping to draw Aston Villa but you cannot choose who you play.
"You expect the majority of people to be behind Portsmouth - except Southampton fans."
Redknapp won silverware with Pompey two years ago but he ranks keeping them in the Premier League, after returning there in the 2005/06 season, as his greatest triumph.
He said: "Going to Wigan and winning was a special day, when we were 10 or 11 points adrift with 10 games to go and went on that fantastic run.
"When I went back there really I would not be sitting here now if it had gone wrong. I took a massive gamble. It was the worst team I had ever seen in my life and we were so far adrift. Suddenly it was win, win, win."

Attorney General Candidates Promise Sandusky Review
David Freed and Kathleen Kane are in the hotly-contested race for Pennsylvania's Attorney General.
By Eric Boehm | PA Independent SUSQUEHANNA TOWNSHIP — Attorney General hopefuls David Freed and Kathleen Kane sparred over their independence and experience on Monday night during the only scheduled debate in the hotly-contested statewide race. During a snappy 50-minute exchange hosted by Widener Law School just outside of Harrisburg, the two candidates faced questions about their qualifications for the top law enforcement post in the state, their independence from state politics and their plans for the office, if elected. Kane, a Democrat, repeatedly attacked Freed as the "hand-picked" candidate of Gov. Tom Corbett and the Pennsylvania Republican Party, which has controlled the attorney general's office ever since it became an elected …

President Obama has experienced a resurgence in the well-respected Pew poll of the national presidential election, building a 3-point lead as Tuesday approaches.
Obama pulled 50 percent of likely voters against Republican candidate Mitt Romney's 47 percent, a 3-point bump for the president from Pew's last poll a week ago, which showed the candidates tied at 47 percent.
Pew's numbers have closely followed the national trends over the last two months of the campaign. After convention season in early September, Pew picked up a large bump for the president, finding an 8-point Obama lead. Then after the first presidential debate, Pew showed big movement for Romney, finding a 4-point lead in the former Mass. governor's favor. Then as debate season ended, Obama and Romney had settled into a tie at 47 percent in Pew's Oct. 28 poll. Now the president is ahead again, two days out.
"Nearly four-in-ten (39%) likely voters support Obama strongly, while 9% back him only moderately," Pew pollster wrote. "A third of likely voters support Romney strongly, compared with 11% who back him moderately. In past elections, dating to 1960, the candidate with the higher percentage of strong support has usually gone on to win the popular vote."
Pew pointed out that the president's improved situation seems to draw from groups he's found strength with all along, and Romney is lagging with his strongest:
Obama's increases in likely voter support are most notable among women, older voters, and political moderates. Women now favor Obama by a 13-point margin (53% to 40%), up from six points a week ago and reflecting a shift toward Obama since early October. Right after the first presidential debate, the women's vote was split evenly (47% each). Men, by comparison, favor Romney by a 50% to 42% margin, with little change in the past month.Romney continues to lead among voters age 65 and older, by a nine point margin (51% to 42%) in the current survey. But that is only about half of the 19-point lead he held among seniors just a week ago. Political moderates now favor Obama by 21 points (56%-35%).
The Pew numbers also confirm the slight upward movement Obama saw in new national numbers from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, who found the president up 48 percent to Romney's 47 percent.
The Pew poll used 2,709 live telephone interviews with likely voters via landline and cell-phone, conducted Oct. 31-Nov. 3. It has a sampling error of 2.2 percent.

Trader Joe's Taking Shape in Bloomfield
The exterior sign is up and the interior is coming together at the market's new locale at Telegraph and Maple.
In September, we wrote about how Trader Joe's move from Farmington Hills to Bloomfied Township understandably put off some current patrons. Conversely, Bloomfield-area residents and business owners are more enthused, particularly since the construction work is starting to show visible results. Carpenters and electrical contractors are hard at work at the new location on the west side of Telegraph between the Starbucks and SavOn Drugs in Bloomfield Plaza. Though store officials have yet to announce an official open date, they did target next month "We've got some reasons to be optimistic," said Bill Wahl, owner of the nearby Relax the Back store, as he noted the changes to the Maple Theater nearby, and the opening of the Bagger Dave's …

Trade Joe's should thrive anywhere... great off-brands, wonderful quality foods, nothing made in or from China (that in and of itself is a miracle), very nicely priced,, plus pleasant people and environment... not a union shop of 'attitude' workers - therefore everyone is mostly in a good mood... and so much more... Now, try to beat that!!!   more ›

A new Pew Study has been released claiming nearly one in four of the world's population is Muslim for comparison about one in three is Christian). While Muslims are not a singular solitary bloc and have thousands of divisions both stated and unstated, it is undeniable the Islam is big.
The report has several maps. The worldwide cartogram (above) clearly shows just how small of a percentage Arabs are compared to the overall Muslim population. The report has interactive maps showing the Muslim population in the Middle East and North Africa, the rest of Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe (where one can see how immigration has made Western Europe the new home of European Islam instead of the Turkish-converted Eastern Europe), and North and South America. There is also a map of Shia population numbers in the Middle East.
An interesting table shows the population numbers of the largest Muslim minorities by country. The top five Muslim minority countries are India, Ethiopia, People's Republic of China, Russia, and Tanzania.

Manheim economist sees 'healthy realignment' in used-vehicle prices
Used-vehicle prices are undergoing a "healthy realignment" that will continue next year with some upticks along the way, Manheim's chief economist said Friday.
"Sellers certainly knew that 2011 prices could not be sustained. Buyers knew they were paying too much, but of course they had no choice," Tom Webb told reporters and analysts during a conference call. "I believe the continued market realignment will leave us in a better place with prices still high but not disruptively so."
After five months of declines, the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index stood at 120.7 in September, unchanged from August but down 2 percent from September 2011.
Manheim's index started in 1995 at 100 and measures used-vehicle price changes based on vehicle age, mileage and time of year.
Webb also said he believes that the run-up in used-vehicle prices over the last few years is not the sole result of tight used-vehicle supplies. He said that may have been the case in 2009 but became less so in 2010 and 2011 and was a "nonissue" in 2012.
As evidence, he said the number of rental units entering the wholesale used-vehicle market in the first half of the year increased by a double-digit percentage but did not drag down prices in the relevant segments.
"That, I believe, is a testament to the manufacturers' discipline on the new vehicle side of the market, a discipline which was enabled by permanent restructuring in the industry," he said. "I do not believe we are headed back to the wicked ways of the past when many manufacturers' sales and marketing tactics were in direct opposition to the goal of protecting residual values."

It will be held at St. Paul's Anglican Church, 125 Main Street, at 7 p.m. Paul Bogaard will speak, and we'll launch the book Yorkshire Immigration to Atlantic Canada - Papers and Proceedings of the Yorkshire 2000 Conference , edited by Paul A. Bogaard. This volume makes available for the first time all 15 papers presented at a two day conference held at Mount Allison University, Sackville NB in August 2000. The conference was part of a week-long celebration held in Sackville in honour of the more than 1000 immigrants from Yorkshire, England who settled in Atlantic Canada (most in the Chignecto Region) between 1772 and 1775. The conference brought together noted academics, genealogists, and local historians and the proceedings include an introductory essay by Dr. Bill Hamilton. This publication, along with Jim Snowdon's Footprints in the Marsh Mud (also available from the Trust) will be of great interest to all who are interested in the early settlement history of eastern Canada. It is especially relevant to an understanding of the immigration and impact of those hardy settlers from Yorkshire who were "seeking a new life" in Nova Scotia.
In addition, we will also be honouring our second annual volunteers of the year - Dr Eugene and Joanne Goodrich, who have been involved in many Trust activities over the years, and especially active in our popular annual Heritage Day breakfasts.
All members who attend are eligible to vote, and everyone (members and non-members) are invited to attend. For more information on this event, or other Trust activities phone 536-2541

Sneak Peek: Kids Will Star in the Show at the Big Top Tent at Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Some new details have been released about the new interactive queue area that will open at the big top tent at Dumbo the Flying Elephant in New Fantasyland this July.
This innovative queue area will completely redefine what it means for guests to prepare for a Disney attraction. Heres how it will work: Guests arrive at Dumbos big top and receive a circus ticket pager that virtually holds their place and notifies them when its their turn to board the attraction. Kids (and kids of all ages) can then become part of the show inside the tent by enjoying circus-themed play experiences, while Dumbo flies high above.
Here are some photos of what you can expect:
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

New! Dessert Fruit Vietnamese "Spring Roll" and "Mini Watermelons"
I was making new Fruit "Sushi" late last night when I realized the Honey Dew Melon can be morphed into a Vietnamese Spring Roll made entirely of FRUIT! The leaf is Dandelion I should have used Mint but didn't have any, Green Apple Slices= "Cucumber", Pear Slices= "Rice Noodles", Papaya= "Carrots", Mango= well....Mango! The Wrap is Honey Dew Melon & "Watermelon" in the background is a twist in that it is made of cucumber & tomato, just a fun twist & yes you CAN PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD! This Spring Roll is so super deliciously refreshing & a nice new dessert!
Kinda fun if you use those Hand Quote Gestures as you are reading & doing those AIR QUOTATION MARKS. I used RAW STAR Ceramic Knife & RAW STAR Ceramic Peeler to make these there is no way I can with a metal knife because it would make everything wilted, oxidized & the metal catch on things & would not be as precision, smooth & perfect as only a super sharp pure smooth super high tech RAW STAR Ceramic Knife & Peeler, besides it really does keep your food fresher longer here is a quick YouTube.com Video that proves it in this Apple Freshness Test:
I am here to help people make money & empower people to be healthy & wealthy while also having fun being eco & saving the Planet! :o)

Reading Moving Up in ECHL North Division
Tuesday, Dec. 11th, 2007
Posting two wins against Wheeling and a win against Trenton, Reading extended its winning streak to five games and moved into third place in the North Division with 29 points (14-8-1), three points behind Cincinnati (15-5-2) and four points behind leader Elmira (16-6-2).
Reading, which has won its last two road games, will travel to Trenton on Wednesday and Sunday and visits Elmira on Friday. The Royals are 0-2-0 at Trenton and 1-2-1 overall against the Devils and 0-1-0 at Elmira and 1-1-0 overall against the Jackals. Since losing their home opener against Cincinnati, the Royals are 7-0-1 at home and have won their last four games at the Sovereign Center.
Bracken Kearns
(4g-4a), rookie defenseman Patrik Hersley (1g-7a) and rookie
Brett Hemingway
(3g-5a) lead the Royals offense over the last five games. Kearns has scored in each of his last three games (2g-3a) and has 13 points (5g-8a) in the last nine games. Hersley has six points in the last two games with his first-ever multiple-assist (2a) and multiple-point (2a) game against Trenton on Dec. 7 and his first goal and career highs with three assists and four points on Dec. 8 against Wheeling. Hemingway has a five-game point streak (3g-5a) including his first multiple-goal (2g) and multiple point (2g-1a) game on Dec. 2 at Wheeling and his first multiple-assist game (2a) on Dec. 7 against Trenton.
During Readings current streak, Terry Denike is 2-0-0 with a goals-against average of 2.51 and Danny Taylor is 3-0-0 with a goals-against average of 2.64.
Cincinnati had a five-game winning streak end with a 5-4 shootout loss to Elmira on Dec. 8, and is 11-2-2 in their last 15 games. The Cyclones will host Johnstown on Friday and Sunday and travel to Wheeling on Saturday. Cincinnati won the only meeting of the season with the Chiefs, 2-0 at Johnstown on Nov. 30, and is 2-0-0 against Wheeling with a pair of home wins against the Nailers.
Rookie forward
Thomas Beauregard
(3g-4a), Barret Ehgoetz (2g-5a) and rookie defenseman
Tyler Howells
(3g-2a) are leading the Cyclones offense the last five games. Beauregard has a three-game assist streak and a six-game point streak (3g-6a) during which he scored his first career hat trick with three goals on Dec. 1 at Trenton. Howells had his first multiple-goal game and his second multiple-point game when he scored two goals against Elmira on Dec. 8 after registering his first multiple-point game (1g-1a) against Dayton on Dec. 5.
Cincinnatis Dov Grumet-Morris is 7-0-1 with a goals-against average of 2.52 and a save percentage of .906 in his last nine starts improving to 9-2-1 with a goals-against average of 2.52 and a save percentage of .901 in 13 games.
Elmira is 5-1-1 with five shootout wins in its last seven games and 10-1-1 with six shootout wins in its last 12 games. The Jackals, who are 5-2 in shootouts, will host Reading on Friday and Trenton on Saturday. Elmira is 1-0-0 at home and 1-1-0 overall against the Royals and 2-0-0 at home and 3-0-0 overall against the Devils.
Bryan Rodney
(4g-3a) and rookies Pierre-Luc Faubert (1g-5a) and Benoit Doucet (2g-4a) lead the Jackals offense the last four games. Faubert (8g-10a) and Rodney (6g-12a) are tied for the Jackals lead with 18 points while Doucet is tied for fourth with 14 points (4g-10a). After registering his first career multiple-goal game (2g) at Cincinnati on Dec. 8, Rodney had a career-best four points (2g-2a) on Dec. 9 at Wheeling and leads ECHL defensemen with 18 points (6g-12a), including 11 points (2g-9a) in 17 games with Columbia. Faubert tied his career bests with two assists and two points on Dec. 5 against Trenton and on Dec. 9 at Wheeling while Doucet tied his career highs with two points (1g-1a) on Dec. 5 against Trenton and on Dec. 9 at Wheeling with two assists and two points.
Cincinnati Has All-Female Off-Ice Crew For Pink In The Rink Night
It will be a professional hockey first when the
Cincinnati Cyclones
use an all-female off-ice officiating crew for their inaugural Pink In The Rink game on Friday.
The women, who have been training throughout the season at Cyclones games, will operate the game clock and record game statistics while also working as goal judges and penalty box attendants.
The all-female off-ice crew is the idea of Cyclones off-ice official supervisor Tim OShea, who has survived two bouts with cancer. Cancer has affected the lives of eight of the 25 women scheduled to work the game, including six who have lost a loved one to the disease and another whose husband has had eight surgeries to remove tumors and growths.
The ice at U.S. Bank Arena will be pink and the Cyclones will wear special pink jerseys that will be auctioned following the game with proceeds benefiting the Patty Brisben Foundation for womens health issues.
Alaska Aces
had over 12,000 fans and raised more than $103,000 with their Pink in the Rink promotion on Oct. 10-11 and last season ECHL teams raised almost $200,000 for breast cancer organizations with Pink in the Rink events.
Fresno, Las Vegas, Utah Heating Up National Conference
Sweeping a three-game series at Idaho, Fresno extended its winning streak to five games to improve to 11-6-3 and move into second place in the Pacific Division and fourth place in the National Conference with 25 points. Every one of the five games has been decided by one goal including a pair of shootout wins and an overtime victory.
The Falcons will visit Bakersfield on Wednesday before returning home to host Victoria on Friday and Sunday. Fresno is 2-1-0 at home and 3-1-1 overall this season against the Condors while it will be the first meeting of the season with Victoria. The Falcons are 14-5-3 all-time against the Salmon Kings, who are 10-3-0 in the last 13 games and lead the West Division with 30 points (15-6-0).
During the current winning streak,
Jake Moreland
is 3-0-0 with a goals-against average of 2.65 and a save percentage of .906 while Kris Mayotte is 2-0-0 with a goals-against average of 4.15 and a save percentage of .888.
Igor Gongalsky
(4g-2a) and
Matt Stefanishion
(3g-3a) each have six points in the last five games while rookie Oren Eizenman has a game-winning goal and five points (3g-2a) during the winning streak. Eizenman lead the Falcons with 10 goals and five power-play goals and his 18 points tie him for the team lead with Gongalsky (9g-9a). Stefanishion has a two-game goal streak (2g) and a three-game point streak (2g-2a) while Gongalsky had career highs with three goals and three points on Dec. 1 at Bakersfield.
Going 1-0-1 at Stockton, Las Vegas improved to 16-2-2 and continues to lead the ECHL in winning percentage with .850. The Wranglers are 12-0-2 in their last 14 games and have lost only two times in regulation in their last 33 regular season games, Oct. 27 at Victoria and Nov. 2 against Utah. Las Vegas, which set an ECHL record with 17 consecutive regular season wins from Mar. 10-Oct. 26, won the Brabham Cup for the regular season point championship with 106 points (53-13-6) in 2006-07 after finishing second in 2005-06 with 112 points (53-13-6) which is the third-highest point total in ECHL history.
Utah rookie John Ceci became the fifth goaltender to step between the pipes for Las Vegas, replacing rookie
Kevin Lalande
who was reassigned to the American Hockey League by the
Calgary Flames
on Dec. 8, going 1-0-1 with a goals-against average of 1.44 and a save percentage of .951 in two starts at Stockton. The Wranglers lead the league with a goals-against average of 2.00, allowing a league-low 40 goals in 20 games.
The Wranglers will travel to Utah on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Las Vegas is 1-1-0 against the Grizzlies this season and 7-5-4 all-time against Utah. The Grizzlies are 4-0-2 in their last six games to improve to 11-9-2 and move into third place in the West Division and fifth place in the National Conference.
Rookie Nathan Lawson is 2-0-0 with a shutout, a goals-against average of 0.50 and a save percentage of .980 during the current streak and 3-0-0 with a goals-against average of 1.00 and a save percentage of .966 in three starts since being claimed off waivers from Phoenix on Nov. 19. Rookie Trevor Smith has four points (3g-1a) in the last three games, including his second two-goal game of the season on Dec. 4 against Phoenix.
Tifu, Nesbitt Extend Streaks
Yannick Tifu
of Dayton had two points (1g-1a) on Dec. 8 at Trenton to extend his point streak to 12 games, tying the season high set by Florida rookie
Mathieu Melanson
, who had his scoring streak (10g-11a) end on Dec. 6 at Gwinnett.
Derek Nesbitt
of Gwinnett registered two assists against Florida on Dec. 7 to extend his assist streak to eight games, tying the longest assist streak in the league this season.
Tifu has scored two points in eight of the 12 games during his streak, including five games with two assists and one game with two goals, and leads the ECHL with 27 assists and 34 points in 22 games. After not registering a point in the first two games of the season, he has 12 multiple-point games, eight multiple-assist games and two multiple-goal games. He had a career-high five assists and tied his career best with five points on Nov. 3 against Trenton.
Tifu finished fourth in voting for ECHL Most Valuable Player last season after finishing third in the ECHL with 88 points and fourth with 60 assists in 78 games. He led the Bombers with 26 goals, 50 assists and 76 points in 65 games after being acquired from Phoenix in exchange for forward
Dan Baum
on Nov. 17, 2006.
Nesbitt has had two assists in four of the eight games and he has 12 assists during the streak. He leads the Gladiators with nine goals, 18 assists and 27 points in 20 games, and is tied for fourth in the ECHL in assists and tied for seventh in scoring.
Nesbitt helped Idaho capture the Kelly Cup Championship last season leading the team with 51 assists while finishing second with 30 goals and 81 points in 66 games. He helped Gwinnett reach the Kelly Cup Finals as a rookie in 2005-06 finishing first among Gladiator rookies and third overall with 69 points (26g-43a) in 71 games.
South Carolina Picking Up Ground In South Division
South Carolina is on a season-high six-game winning streak and have vaulted themselves back into the thick of the South Division standings moving into fifth place with 27 points (13-9-1), one point behind (14-8-0) and Augusta (13-8-2) and two points behind second-place Gwinnett (14-5-1).
The Stingrays, however, wont have a chance to extend their streak until Dec. 19 when they host Pensacola.
A major factor during the streak has been goaltenders Davis Parley and rookie Josh Johnson. Parley has won his last four starts, stopping 93 of 101 shots for a .921 save percentage, to improve to 7-3-1 with a save percentage of .917 and a goals-against average of 2.45 which is 10th in the league. Johnson has won his last two starts, allowing only two goals in each contest, to improve his record to 6-6-0 while lowering his goals-against average to 3.25.
Steve Pinizzotto
leads South Carolina during the streak with nine points (7g-2a) while defenseman
T.J. McElroy
has eight points (2g-6a). Pinizzotto has a six-game goal streak (7g) and a six-game point streak (7g-2a) while McElroy has scored five points (0g-5a) in the last two games, including tying his career bests with three assists and three points on Dec. 8 against Johnstown.
After sweeping a three-game series at home against Pensacola, Texas improved to 17-2-4 and leads the ECHL with 38 points and 17 wins. The Wildcatters are 8-0-2 in their last 10 games and their only two losses in regulation were Oct. 19 at Augusta and Nov. 17 against Elmira.
Texas is led by
John McNabb
, who is second in the league with 31 points (12g-19a) in 23 games, and goaltenders Anton Khubodin, who is 8-0-3 and second in the league with a goals-against average of 1.84 and a save percentage of .939, and Peter Aubry, who is with a 2.48 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage.
The Wildcatters will travel to Florida for games on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.

The U.S. Versus the Rules of War
Another basis of the default strategy is that Yugoslav casualties and destruction are of no concern whatsoever to NATO's "humanitarian" leadership, any more than Hiroshima/Nagasaki or Korean war casualties affected President Harry Truman, Indochinese casualties influenced Presidents Lyndon Johnson or Richard Nixon, or Panamanian or Iraqi casualties moved President George Bush. The destruction of Iraq and the cumulative deaths of many hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians has clearly not bothered the Clinton humanitarians, except for its possible public relations damage, although in an amazing statement before the House Appropriations Committee on April 21st, Defense Secretary William Cohen asserted that "we treasure human life..[and] go to extraordinary lengths to protect innocent civilians." We must surely expect this same indifference to Yugoslav destruction and death from the Clintonites.
If it is argued that the welfare of Kosovo Albanians is a serious concern of the U.S./NATO leadership, this is not easy to reconcile with the fact that the policy route actually taken has had an entirely predictable disastrous impact on them. Admittedly this could be the consequence of incompetence, miscalculation, or the absence of less harmful options, but it should be noted, first, that it was in fact expected by high NATO military officials. Furthermore, the terms of the Rambouillet ultimatum, which required Serb acceptance of a de facto NATO occupation of all of Yugoslavia, was almost surely designed to be rejected and to pave the way for bombing. The chosen military option results, I believe, from the U.S./British leadership's high priority given to crushing and humiliating Milosevic (as with Saddam Hussein) and minimal concern with the welfare of the Albanians or anybody else. It may be recalled that the Vietnam war was fought by the U.S. allegedly to "save" the South Vietnamese from "aggression" or "communism," but that in fact the South Vietnamese people were the principal targets of the U.S. war machine, with a seven digit death toll and much of the population made refugees.
In theory, the U.S. and NATO are prevented from attacking the civilian population of Yugoslavia by the rules of war, which very clearly outlaw bombing or starving a civilian population. It is a punishable war crime under Nuremberg Law principles to engage in the "wanton destruction of cities, towns or villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity." But it is a notable fact that the rules of war don't apply to us, and never have. According to historians Joyce and Gabriel Kolko, the 1950- 1951 Korean war quickly "became a war against an entire nation, civilians and soldiers, Communists and anti-Communists, alike. Everything--from villages to military targets--the United States considered a legitimate target of attack." This was confirmed by the head of the Far Eastern Bomber Command, Major General Emmett O'Donnell Jr., who stated that "Everything is destroyed. There is nothing standing worthy of the name." During the Vietnam war the U.S. violated every rule of international law, on a large scale-- chemical warfare, including the systematic destruction of civilian rice crops; the torture and killing of prisoners; massive bombing attacks on villages and all infrastructure, including marked hospitals; and plain old aggression. The U.S./UN sanctions policy against Iraq is an anti-civilian operation that in principle should land numerous U.S., British and UN officials before the war crimes tribunal in the Hague.
But principle isn't applicable, and I offer an amended version of a classic line: the bigger the crime and the more powerful the villain, the smaller the punishment. And if the villain is large enough the very notion of criminality disappears. Of course the big criminal who kills civilians on a large scale always does so in retaliation for somebody else's evil acts, and he regularly claims that he is not really targeting civilians as he destroys them and their means of life. But as he demonstrated in Korea, his airpower and great resources for dealing death allow him to devastate and kill almost without limit, as his adversary/victim can not retaliate directly against him (as even the Kosovo Albanians could do against Serbs). All depends on moral constraints. In the case of Yugoslavia, the painful fact is that the intense focus on Serbian crimes and the confusion, cowardice, ignorance, and weakness of the Western left and social democratic leaders have reduced the constraints and provided the emotional and moral rationale for the destruction of Serbia; in the West the only evil perceived by the establishment is located in the demonized enemy. Another orgy of death and destruction in the Korean mold is looming in the Balkans.
The moral environment which permits the U.S. and NATO to kill civilians without constraint is illustrated by the three articles in the New York Times of April 6, 9 and 23 by their chief foreign affairs correspondent Thomas Friedman. Back in the Vietnam war era, when the ferocious retired general Curtis LeMay proposed that we bomb Vietnam "back into the stone age," this was considered repulsive extremism worthy of the Nazis (although we did in fact carry out such policy both in Korea and Vietnam). But Thomas Friedman blithely urges today that we put Serbia back into the stone age with a series of escalated bombings, although of course the choice is with the victims who are always free to surrender ("You want 1389? We can do 1389 too." April 23).
Friedman also describes in admiring terms the Israeli policy of targeting the civil society in Lebanon as a means of indirectly pressuring the government of Lebanon to meet Israeli terms, and Friedman openly advocates that the same policy be employed in Yugoslavia. While such an Israeli policy has long been known by analysts of the Middle East, it has not previously been acknowledged in the Times, which has never quoted Abba Eban's 1981 admission of systematic bombing of civilians because "there was a rational prospect, ultimately fulfilled, that afflicted populations would exert pressure for the cessation of hostilities." But in the New World Order of "humanitarian intervention" such direct attacks on civilians in violation of international law apparently have become acceptable and consistent with the new humanitarian ethos, so credit can be given to Israel for this brave innovation. Perhaps the new humanitarian intervention extended to entire countries can also be rephrased--"we had to destroy the civilian population of [name it] in order to save it."

- The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has served as an important model organism for investigating cellular morphogenesis. This unicellular rod-shaped fission yeast grows by tip extension and divides by medial fission. In particular, microtubules appear to define sites of polarized cell growth by delivering cell polarity factors to the cell tips. Microtubules also position the cell nucleus at the cell middle, marking sites of cell division. Here, we review the microtubule-dependent mechanisms that regulate cell shape and cell division in fission yeast.
Main Text
The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is a unicellular eukaryote that has a cylindrical rod shape of 4 μm diameter and grows by polarized tip extension from 7 to 14 μm in length. Upon reaching 14 μm, cells stop growing and enter mitosis. Cells then divide by assembling an actomyosin contractile ring at the geometrical center of the cell. The subsequent two daughter cells are of equal length — 7 μm. Interestingly, each daughter cell initiates growth immediately from its 'old' tip until the completion of S phase, at which point it also initiates growth at the 'new' tip (i.e. the site of the previous cell division) in a process termed new end take off (NETO) [1]. These seemingly simple acts of growth and division pose two important questions: how does the cell know where to divide, and how does the cell know where to grow? The answers to these two questions appear to involve the dynamic microtubule cytoskeleton.
Antiparallel Microtubule Structures in Fission Yeast
An interphase fission yeast cell has between three and five spatially discrete bundles of microtubules that are dynamic and align with the long axis of the cell (Figure 1A) [2,3]. Our current understanding suggests two complementary models in which interphase microtubule-organizing centers (iMTOCs) contribute to bundle formation. In the first model the iMTOCs are tethered to the nuclear membrane, and in the second model the iMTOCs are dynamically recruited to pre-existing 'template' microtubule lattices. The iMTOCs appear to be tethered to the nuclear membrane by a complex comprising the nuclear envelope proteins Sad1p and Kms2p [4]. Interestingly, the Sad1p–Kms2p complex is embedded in the nuclear membrane to couple the cytoplasmic microtubule cytoskeleton to the nucleoplasmic chromatin [4]. The iMTOCs contain the so-called γ-tubulin ring complexes (γ-TuRCs), which nucleate new microtubules [5]. The γ-TuRCs are themselves recruited to iMTOCs and activated by the Mto1p–Mto2p complex. Upon nucleation, new microtubules are bundled together in an antiparallel configuration at their minus ends by the homodimeric microtubule bundling protein Ase1p [6]. Therefore, in the first model, each microtubule bundle contains the stable minus ends overlapping and connected to the cell nucleus, and dynamic plus ends facing and interacting with the opposite cell tips (Figure 1B) [7,8]. In the second model, newly nucleated microtubules are pulled toward the minus end of the template microtubule by the motor protein Klp2p (Figure 1C) [6]. The new microtubule can then grow and act as a template for nucleation of other microtubules. Electron tomography has revealed that each half of an individual interphase microtubule bundle contains mostly one long primary template microtubule, and several shorter newly created microtubules, consistent with both models [9]. It is not known what restricts the number of iMTOCs to between three and five per cell. Deletion of the Mto1p–Mto2p complex results in cells with one interphase microtubule bundle, but this single bundle is longer and contains more polymers than any of the bundles in wild-type cells [10,11]. Interestingly, loss of the formin For3p, which nucleates actin cables, results in cells with a higher number of microtubule bundles compared with wild type, but these bundles also appear to be shorter than wild type [12]. These results suggest that the equilibrium between tubulin concentration, microtubule nucleators, and regulators of microtubule length may dictate the number and dynamics of interphase microtubule bundles.
The two complementary models described above result in the formation of antiparallel interphase microtubule bundles that contain an inherent symmetrical architecture: stable minus ends are bundled and attached to the nuclear membrane, and dynamic plus ends are facing and interacting with the opposite cell tips (Figure 1). This microtubule architecture is ideal for two biological functions: firstly, microtubules can dynamically position the nucleus at the cell middle, with the nuclear position dictating the future cell division site; and, secondly, microtubules can deliver polarity factors to the cell tips, telling the cell where to grow and thus dictating cell shape.
Microtubule-Pushing Forces Center the Nucleus to Position the Division Site
The position of the interphase nucleus dictates the future site of cell division [13,14]. The so-called medial cortical nodes are protein complexes that localize to the cell cortex at the cell center [15]. These nodes appear to be dynamically tethered to the cell cortex and, as the nucleus moves, the nodes themselves move in response to this nuclear movement [13,16]. In experiments in which the nucleus was centrifuged away from the cell center, the medial nodes also moved away from the cell center [13,16]. In mutant cells with defective microtubule bundles, the nucleus was positioned off-center, resulting in nodes being off-center and therefore leading to a misplaced cell division site and septum. At the start of mitosis, the medial node component Mid1p appears to recruit a series of other proteins to assemble an actomyosin ring for cell division [17]. In this context, nuclear positioning directly regulates cell division site placement. So, what controls nuclear positioning?
As a fission yeast cell grows, its nucleus is dynamically positioned at the geometrical center of the cell. In many organisms, nuclear positioning employs a dynein-dependent microtubule-pulling mechanism [18]. Interphase fission yeast cells instead employ a microtubule-pushing mechanism [3,13,14,19]. Individual microtubule bundles are tethered at their minus ends to the nuclear membrane [4], and their plus ends are dynamically growing and shrinking [2,3]. When a microtubule plus end grows toward the cell tip, it makes transient contact with the cell tip. During this dwell time the microtubule plus end continues to polymerize. As microtubules are structurally stiff polymers [20], this growth translates into a pushing force [21], which moves the nucleus in the opposite direction of microtubule growth [3,13,14,19]. When the microtubule plus end exhibits a catastrophe and begins shrinkage, no pushing force can be exerted on the nucleus. Key parameters that ensure the medial positioning of the nucleus include: the antiparallel architecture of the microtubule bundles; regulation of microtubule dynamics; and cell geometry.
As described above, the interphase fission yeast cell organizes three to five bundles of antiparallel microtubules. This architecture dictates that the number of microtubules opposite each side of the nucleus, and facing opposite cell tips, is always equal. This equality in microtubule number leads to equality in force production when microtubules contact cell tips, and thus ensures that the nucleus is moved to the position of force balance, which is at the geometrical center of the cell (Figure 2). An asymmetry in microtubule number would lead to a misplaced nucleus. The iMTOC protein Rsp1p appears to organize the bundle number, with mutant rsp1 cells having one large aster-like microtubule bundle instead of the multiple antiparallel bundles seen in wild-type cells [22]. This astral microtubule organization often leads to one side of the cell having more microtubules than the opposite side. The side with more microtubules produces more pushing forces, resulting in the nucleus being pushed off-center [22]. In mto1 or mto2 mutants, which have just one microtubule bundle, the nucleus is still correctly positioned at the cell center [23]. However, the variance in the medial position of nucleus in cells with one microtubule bundle is larger than that in wild-type cells with three to five microtubule bundles [23]. Computer simulation has led to similar conclusions, finding that four bundles are better than one bundle in centering the nucleus [3].
Microtubules exhibit dynamic instability, undergoing growth and shrinkage phases, and switching between these two phases with catastrophe and rescue frequencies [2,3]. Wild-type fission yeast microtubules grow persistently from the nuclear region toward the cell tips, with little or no catastrophe until they make contact with the cell tips. The microtubule plus end carries an ensemble of plus-tip-tracking proteins (+TIPs), some of which appear to regulate the lengths of microtubules. The plus-tip proteins Mal3p and Tip1p promote growth and suppress catastrophe [24]. Deletion of mal3 or tip1 results in microtubule catastrophe anywhere along the cell cortex, and generally shorter microtubule bundles [24]. The kinesin-8 motor proteins Klp5p and Klp6p also localize to microtubule plus ends [25]. Deletion of klp5 or klp6 results in less microtubule catastrophe at cell tips, and overall longer interphase microtubules [26]. In vitro, the Klp5p–Klp6p heterodimer can persistently track a depolymerizing microtubule end [27], suggesting that these motors may have microtubule depolymerization activity. No rescue frequency has been reported for fission yeast, probably due to the difficulty of imaging the iMTOC medial region. One report has suggested that the microtubule-binding protein Cls1p/Peg1p localizes to the microtubule plus end and destabilizes microtubules [28], although this finding is controversial. A more recent report has now suggested that Cls1p/Peg1p localizes with Ase1p at the iMTOC region, where it acts as a rescue factor to promote regrowth of a shrinking microtubule [29].
Microtubule-length regulation is important for proper nuclear positioning. As easily imagined, short microtubules not touching the cell tips cannot produce pushing forces to position the nucleus, and long microtubules curving around the cell tips would not produce efficient pushing forces either. Indeed, mal3 and tip1 mutants have nuclear positioning defects [30,31], and klp5, klp6, and cls1/peg1 mutants are also expected to have nuclear positioning defects. Interestingly, the physics of microtubule pushing suggest that the pushing force (equivalent to the compressive force experienced by the microtubule as it makes contact with the cell tip) drops off quickly with the increase in microtubule length, approximated by the buckling equation , where F is the compressive force, EI is the flexural rigidity of the polymer, and L is the length of the polymer. Although there is currently no in vivo value for EI of microtubules, in vitro measurements yield an EI value of ∼25 × 10−24 Nm2[20]. This value leads to the estimation that a microtubule that is 1, 10, and 100 μm long can produce pushing forces of 250, 2.5, and 0.025 pN, respectively. For comparison, dynein can generate 7 pN of force [32]. Given that a fission yeast cell is 14 μm long, each half-bundle is expected to have a microtubule of 7 μm in length, producing ∼5 pN of force. Large forces have been shown to trigger microtubule catastrophe in vitro[21], in vivo[25], and in silico[33]. Thus, microtubule length regulation will need to be examined in the context of both physical forces triggering catastrophe and the proteins controlling the dynamic parameters of microtubules.
Finally, cell geometry has a profound influence on mechanisms of nuclear positioning. As illustrated above, pushing forces from a single microtubule are productive only when the microtubule is in the order of 10 μm long. The interphase fission yeast has a cylindrical rod shape 14 μm long: this length scale and shape appear to be within the productive pushing force regime. During mating, two haploid yeast cells fuse to form a diploid. The fused diploid nucleus undergoes the so-called horse-tail oscillation, where the nucleus is moved back-and-forth in the cell in a dynein-dependent pulling mechanism [34]. These diploid cells have approximately the same length scale as the haploid cells, yet they use a completely different — and opposite — mechanism of nuclear positioning. The difference between the interphase cell and the diploid cell, which are of similar lengths, is their shape. Diploid cells can be U-shaped, S-shaped, as well as rod-shaped: pushing would appear to be inefficient compared with pulling when either large length scales or complex cell shapes are involved.
It should also be noted that, while the mechanism of microtubule-dependent nuclear positioning described above is one pathway to position the division plane, other mechanisms exist. Recently, the cell tip protein kinase Pom1p has been shown to restrict the position of the kinase Cdr2p, which is a component of the medial nodes and a Mid1p recruitment factor, to the cell center [35,36].
Microtubules Deliver Polarity Factors to Cell Tips, Dictating Cell Growth and Cell Shape
Our current understanding of fission yeast cell polarity suggests a model in which the actin cytoskeleton directs cell growth and the microtubule cytoskeleton directs where to grow (Figure 3A). In this model, microtubule plus ends contain the so-called +TIP complex [37], which comprises proteins including Tea1p (kelch-repeat protein) and Tea4p (SH3-domain protein) [38,39]. A growing microtubule plus end delivers the Tea1p–Tea4p complex to the tip of the cell, where it docks onto the receptor Mod5p [40]. The Tea1p–Tea4p complex then recruits the polarisome complex, which contains the actin-binding protein Bud6p and the formin For3p [37]. For3p then nucleates actin cables [41,42], which serve as tracks for myosin-based vesicular transport and growth.
We propose a model in which the balance between the rate of delivery (RDelivery) of polarity factors to the cell tip and the rate of dispersion (RDispersion) of such factors away from the cell tip dictates the shape of the cell (Figure 3B). It should be noted that each protein involved in the cell shape pathway has both an RDelivery and an RDispersion. In addition, each protein complex named need not be spatially and temporally distinct, as their interactions are complex and may involve local feedback loops [42,43]. This model explains some of the cell shapes observed in various fission yeast mutants (Figure 3C). In wild-type cells, in which the microtubule bundles are spaced equally apart with respect to the long axis of the cell, actin patches and cables are subsequently distributed evenly at the cell tips, leading to a linear direction of growth. In mutant cells with primarily one bundle of microtubules, such as mto1 and mto2 mutants, delivery of polarity factors to the cell tip is offset to the site of microtubule contact. This leads to differential growth at the tip of the cell, resulting in a bent direction of growth [10]. In cells with abnormally short microtubules, either following treatment with microtubule-depolymerizing drugs [44], or as exhibited by the +TIP mutants mal3 and tip1, or the tubulin mutant nda3[30,31,45], the polarity factors are not delivered directly to the cell tips. Instead, they may be delivered to distances corresponding to the length of the short microtubules. This leads to growth at ectopic sites, resulting in a T-shaped phenotype. In a similar fashion, low and intermediate doses of microtubule-depolymerizing drugs, which resulted in short and intermediate microtubule lengths, also caused ectopic cell tips to grow where the microtubule lengths stopped [44]. Finally, in mutants where cell polarity factors are dispersed, such as the round mutant orb6, in which Bud6p is dispersed, growth occurs progressively away from the cell tip, resulting in an oval or round phenotype [46]. Interestingly, deletion of tea1 or tea4 resulted in cells making an ectopic cell tip, forming a T shape [38,39], suggesting that the Tea1p–Tea4p complex is not necessary for making ectopic cell tips. In addition, drug-mediated microtubule depolymerization in growing wild-type cells did not produce a T shape [47]; instead, cells maintained linear growth. Taken together, these results suggest that microtubules can initiate sites of polarized growth; however, once initiated, actin can maintain polarized growth independently of microtubules.
This model was also tested directly by targeting microtubules away from cell tips and toward cell sides. Through soft-lithography and microfabrication, two groups independently created microchambers to constrain cells. When straight fission yeast cells are forced into a bent shape by either growing them in curved microchannels [46], or physically forcing them into microwells [46,48], the cells reorganized their microtubules such that microtubule tips could now make contact with the ectopic site on the cell cortex. This microtubule–cortex contact resulted in polarity factors being deposited at the ectopic site [46,48]. In the case where cells were grown in curved microchannels, the ectopic polarity site grew a new cell tip [46]. In contrast, in the case where cells were forced into microwells, and thus abruptly bent, no new tips were observed unless the Tea1p–Tea4p complex was absent [48]. One explanation for the slightly different results is that, by abruptly pushing cells into a microwell, a stress response pathway is activated and thus will delay or inhibit new tip formation [48]. A second explanation may be that, similar to the original findings with tea1 and tea4 mutants, new ectopic cell tips can form independently of the Tea1p–Tea4p complex [38,39]. This study highlights multiple redundant pathways leading to new cell tip formation. In addition, when round mutant orb6 cells, which have a radial microtubule orientation, were forced to grow in straight microchannels, they reorganized their microtubules to the cell long axis, leading to the relocalization of the polarity factors to the cell tips [46]. These results point to a global feedback loop between the microtubule cytoskeleton and cell shape, and a local feedback loop between the actin cytoskeleton and the cell tip.
The story, of course, is not so simple. Recent findings suggest that cell extension is accomplished by a high internal turgor pressure and the cell wall elasticity and is independent of the actin cable nucleator For3p [49]. This work highlights the complexity of the many pathways regulating cell growth and shape. Nevertheless, mathematical models based on modified reaction–diffusion equations are emerging that can recapitulate some aspects of cell-shape formation [50].
In this article, we have outlined simplified models for understanding cell shape and cell division in fission yeast. The microtubule cytoskeleton appears to play key roles in producing the pushing forces for nuclear positioning and division plane placement. The microtubule cytoskeleton is also important in initiating sites of polarized cell growth and thus determining cell shape. The actin cytoskeleton, however, directs cell growth independently of microtubules. Future work to decipher the many pathways regulating cell shape and cell division promises to be exciting and complex.

Bush Hill Park sports coaching day a success
2:08pm Monday 2nd July 2012 in News By David Hardiman, Reporter
Hundreds of people turned out for a sports-themed afternoon at an Enfield park on Saturday.
The Friends of Bush Hill Park put on free lessons a variety of sports including football, archery, croquet and table-tennis to mark the park's Safer Parks Gold Award and try and get more teenagers to use the facilities.
Chair of the group, Maria Tolly, said the day was "a fantastic success" and praised Enfield Council for letting her organise the event.
She said: "It was absolutely wonderful. The amazing thing was how the various coaches did a really good job of getting so many people involved.
"The archery was so popular it went on for longer than expected, and there was a constant queue of people of all ages."
