|Blood banking has a broad public health impact influencing millions of lives daily. It could potentially benefit from emerging biopreservation technologies. However, although vitrification has shown advantages over traditional cryopreservation techniques, it has not been incorporated into transfusion medicine mainly due to throughput challenges. Here, we present a scalable method that can vitrify red blood cells in microdroplets. This approach enables the vitrification of large volumes of blood in a short amount of time, and makes it a viable and scalable biotechnology tool for blood cryopreservation.

State rep wants to force poor Ohioans to get healthcare from interns and students
Republican State Rep John Becker has a solution to Ohio's healthcare woes and it goes something like this:
1. Pick one hospital in every urban area to be "designated for indigent care"
2. Staff the hospital with low-paid "interns, volunteers, students and trainees"
3. Give all of the hospital workers "immunity from malpractice litigation"
4. Force all poor people to "be transferred to their designated" indigent hospital
Boom! Done and Done. Poor people get substandard care and "suburban hospitals are freed of the burden of providing indigent care and then cost shifting to the rest of us." Health care… solved.
Sadly, I'm not kidding. This is actually the plan Becker outlined in the February edition of his Becker Report Website, a month after being elected to Ohio's House of Representatives.
And last week he started introducing legislation to implement this plan.
HB271, if passed into law, would effectively prevent the poor, who receive free, indigent medical care, from suing a doctor for medical malpractice (with the exception of an abortion doctor, of course).
Becker's bill takes a very limited and focused part of the law that grants immunity to "volunteer" medical professionals helping indigent patients with simple and routine medical and dental care, and expands it to apply to pretty much any medical procedure including major surgery, anesthesia and child birth.
He even gives health care professionals and health care workers immunity for actions "outside the scope of [their] authority" and "beyond the scope of [their] practice… education, training, and competence."
So under Becker's bill, a chiropractor performing knee surgery, a dentist delivering a baby or even a medical student prescribing heart medication could not be sued, as long as their patient is poor or indigent.
In essence, Becker hopes to set up a two-tier health care system in Ohio. One set of hospitals where poorly paid, poorly trained and inexperienced staff treat poor patients, and another where experienced doctors treat "the rest of us".
It is a nasty, mean-spirited and selfish plan that would have a devastating impact, especially Ohio's low-income pregnant women, babies and children.
Ohio already has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the country for African American children, and the fourth highest rate in the country. And neighborhoods around the hospitals Becker suggests we designate indigent-only facilities have rates that are off the charts; rates higher than countries like Vietnam and Libya.
Becker's plan would most certainly result in even higher infant mortality rates, especially when combined with a another bill Becker introduced in August (HB 255) that would kick thousands of Ohio's pregnant women and low income families off Medicaid and into the type of care Becker hopes will now be performed by interns, students and trainees.
So far there hasn't been much support shown for Becker's crazy plan. His immunity bill has zero co-sponsors. And his Medicaid bill had only one, Matt Lynch, another state rep who has sponsored a series of anti immigrant bills similar to the ones passed in Arizona.
While we may not see Ohio's Republican-controlled legislature embrace Becker's bills and his plan, that's only because Becker put into writing what most Republicans feel but are afraid to say in public because it sounds too mean and uncaring. Make no mistake, this is exactly the kind of system Republicans envision for our country, and you only have to look at Washington today and the fact that Republicans shut down the federal government in order to prevent more Americans from getting health care coverage.
Jack Cooksey
Remember… SB5 also had no co-sponsors yet it was passed into law.
his including "immunity from malpractice litigation" should give indication of the quality of care he expects.
Anyone need a better example of the extremist bullshit, out of touch, self-serving views from the right? Didn't think so! Probably from Boehner's district 🙂 Ohio deserves better!
Since we are in the process of creating two-tier schools, a two-tier medical system is a natural addition. Charter schools for the poor families who live in urban areas and nonprofessional medical systems. Guest workers are next.
Yes, and eventually everyone is next. This is what the fools who support these creeps fail to realize–discrimination is progressive, in a bad way, of course.
Dolores V. Sisco
Just great: "Charity" hospitals for the poor instead of supporting a single-payer option or (the dread) ObamaCare. Why not the workhouse and debtor's prison too? This is the dream of the one-percenters and the TGOP who want to keep them in power – how long will the majority of Americans who struggle from paycheck to paycheck put up with this? One day (and its coming faster) the majority will find themselves in a barren and toxic wasteland while the wealthy enjoy themselves at our expense. I think history has shown us what happens when people are backed into a corner. . .
Are there no depths of depravity to which these so-called "Christians" will not sink?
I'm starting to think not.
Anyway, this guy is demented and illogical. I checked his website. First he says he wants to reduce Ohio's progressive income tax to one "flat" tax, which would accelerate the shifting of state taxes to lower income people. But then he adds he wants to phase it out and replace it with — nothing. Poof! Half the state income gone. Perhaps he'd like to tell us how we prevent economy catastrophe on such a limited budget.
Red Rover
Such disregard for human life should be criminal!
John Beckers health care plan sounds sort of like telling us Americans we don't want to do certain jobs or are unskilled so let foreigners come in to take them while all the time talking of unemployment.
It's not bad enough that the Conservatives and all programs carrying the same line tell us that under Obama care, 60% of Doctors will retire, it is costing too much etc. ; that doctors pay will be cut , hospitals will close and all other sorts of negative things . Instead of straightening these things up that is fouling up our country, and way of life, these politicans want to put everything under a law.
If everything is under a law , they and who ever controls this country controls everything. Even our freedom. Even our way of life and what we think and say.
It was sometime this year that we were hearing that we needed to bring foreigners into this country to do our jobs that we were unskilled to do. But no talk of creating opportunities for people to learn the skills or financial assistance .
it is you politicans who are fouling up America.
Barack O Bama definitely made it clear that no one had to give up the insurance they had, if they did not want to. Now it is seeming to be that he wants to make or eventually make heath care in this country a government controlled and universal plan forcing everyone to belong to it. No wonder Hillary Clinton is being and has been promoted as a potential Presidential candidate-she tried to get a heath care plan in effect as soon as her husband was elected and failed. but if Hillary Clinton is elected President, she can make sure that the Republicans are unable to defund or eliminate the Affordable Health Care Act as the Conservatives on Fox and others have put pressure on the Republicans to do.
But the most scary thing is that with all the laws being passed and practices we see happening in our government, we do not know the real outcome and purposes of the health care law into the future.
Under John Beckers plan, we should allow all kinds of students in various fields do the job of trained professionals. who have earned the right to the privilages, prestige and pay- heck with the dedication, sacrifice and effort it took to get there.
John Becker shows the evil inclinations and ideas that people like him come into office to accomplish. And we wonder what is wrong with our government.!

2002 Fiat Stilo dynamic 1.6
Good Value for Money given
Airbag unit plug below seat doesn't do contact well popping the air bag warning every so often seems to be common.
Seat Material wearing out quickly.
Overhead coil on top of spark plug broke down early 30,000 klm.
Weird suspension noise in front.
General Comments:
Even though I was plagued with various problems I really love the car it definetly gives you the impression you gave more money than you paid. THe car when travelling on the highway is amazing very comfortable and stable. The only slight thing was the noise the car made at high speeds that I have the amazing sky window version so I guess we can't have everything in life :)
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Katy Perry Wishes Rihanna A Happy Birthday: Squashes Feud Reports
Katy and Rihanna in a feud? Not so fast! The 'Teenage Dream' singer is setting the record straight on her relationship with RiRi!
What better way to squash feud rumors than to send your one and only "frenemy" a birthday message! That's exactly what Katy Perry did, wishing Rihanna, her "baby girl," a very happy birthday on Feb. 20! She also used some crude language to address all the "haters," but it's way too provocative to post above the line. Keep reading to see what she tweeted!
Katy tweeted on Feb. 20, "HAPPIEST 25TH BIRTHDAY to my baby girl @rihanna! I wish I could b there drinking Mai-Tais & telling haters to eat a d**k w/u!"
Katy is of course referring to a recent report, suggesting and she is feuding with Rihanna over Chris Brown.
Rihanna & Katy Perry: Grammys Seating — Are These Friends In A Fight?
According to the report, Katy suspiciously stayed far away from Rihanna at the Feb. 10 Grammy Awards because she's not happy the pop star is dating Chris again.
However, it looks like Katy is now trying to squash the situation — perhaps in an attempt to save face? Either way, Katy and Rihanna seem to be on good terms — just in time for RiRi's birthday!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you like the idea of Rihanna and Katy as best friends or frenemies?

In this edition of Networking UPDATE: Mobile & Wireless Edition, I want to talk briefly about how governments regulate the development and use of wireless technologies. Regulation varies from country to country and can both benefit and hamper your use of mobile devices. Government departments around the world control the use of wireless frequencies. This control encompasses licensing the spectrum for use by particular entities (operators, military, and public), certifying devices, and enforcing other regulations such as mandating support for Local Number Portability (LNP) and Location-Based Services (LBS). Government regulations highly control some markets; for example, in Europe, most governments have mandated the use of the digital cell phone technology Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), resulting in the widespread use of that standard. The benefit to European users is that GSM is the standard for operator services. By contrast, in the United States, the lack of a mandate has resulted in the proliferation of several wireless and paging technologies, including GSM, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and iDEN. Users have more functionality options, but adoption of these technologies has slowed. In the United States, the FCC regulates the telecommunications industry and the use of wireless technologies. The FCC must certify every device that uses wireless technology, and this certification varies depending on the wireless-transmission type and signal strengths used. The FCC controls the use of wireless frequencies; some frequencies are licensed to specific wireless operators (such as those who use the 1900MHz range for personal communication services--PCS--phone service), and some frequencies are open for everyone's use (such as the 2.4GHz range that Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cordless phones use). In many countries, wireless operators have to implement LNP to permit users to keep their mobile phone number after changing wireless operators. US operators have been slow to implement this functionality. The FCC has mandated that carriers provide this functionality, but compliance has been delayed several times because of the high cost of implementing the LNP infrastructure, as well as operator resistance. Some operators believe that if they offer the functionality, they might lose subscribers who suddenly find that switching to a different operator is easier than before. LBS is rarely mandated, but the services it provides might be. As I've discussed in previous Mobile & Wireless Perspectives columns, the FCC has mandated that operators use LBS to locate subscribers in their network for the purpose of 911 emergencies. This regulation, which is part of the E911 bill, will permit locating 911 callers and quicker dispatch of emergency personnel. Compliance with the full E911 Phase 2 regulations has also been delayed, again because of the cost and complexity of implementing the infrastructure to support the features. As you can see, governments play a significant role in the use of wireless technologies. In my next Networking UPDATE: Mobile & Wireless Edition column on July 16, I'll look at some new mobile technologies that Microsoft will announce soon.

His knees caked in dirt and his face shining with perspiration, Billy Butler made the universal sign for "safe."
He had just been cut down at third base attempting to advance from first. The call on the field was wrong, Butler communicated to the Royals dugout in the fifth inning of a 7-3 loss to the Indians on Saturday, and replay would vindicate him.
Royals manager Ned Yost caught the signal. He took a few steps onto the diamond, turned to bench coach Don Wakamatsu and waited for word from the team's video room.
After a few moments, Yost received the verdict. The call on the field was accurate, and Yost returned to his post.
Butler looked perplexed. Already he had found himself demoted in the lineup due to a brief slump. Now he gathered himself and made the lonely walk back to the dugout.
His lack of speed hampered the team's chances at a rally in that inning. An inning later, he struck out with runners at the corners as the team attempted to climb back into the game. He stranded two more runners in the eighth.
The slip to the sixth spot in the batting order frustrated Butler, but he appeared resigned to his fate.
"Somebody's got to be that guy, and it's sending a message to the rest of the guys," Butler said. "I can take it. I guess I'm a mentally tough guy. He could do it to somebody else, but I think he knows how I'll take it."
The Royals, 45-41, needed the offensive help it could get Saturday. Jeremy Guthrie came up with his weakest performance since a seven-run implosion in Seattle on May 11. This time, he departed with no outs in the fifth and yielded six runs. He recorded 12 outs and allowed 13 men on base.
The onslaught proved too sizable for the Royals to match.
Lorenzo Cain opened the game for the Royals with a double, swiped third against catcher and former teammate George Kottaras and scored on Eric Hosmer's grounder. From there, the offense got quiet, save for a squashed rally in the sixth and Danny Valencia's solo homer in the seventh.
A last-ditch rally in the ninth fell short when Cain struck out with the bases loaded and Hosmer grounded into a game-ending double play.
"We had them in a spot where we were going to make it real interesting," Yost said. "It just fizzled out."
The Indians dogged Guthrie at the start, forcing him to throw 43 pitches in the first two innings, and victimized him with a three-run spurt in the third. In the aftermath, Yost blamed Guthrie's location within the strike zone. Guthrie cited poor luck.
"They just kept kind of hitting it where we weren't," Guthrie said. "It just kept piling up."
After Butler's base-running blunder in the top of the fifth, Guthrie combusted in the bottom of the inning. Carlos Santana and Jason Kipnis ripped singles. Up 1-2 on Lonnie Chisenhall, Guthrie missed the upper outside corner of the plate on three consecutive pitches.
The walk loaded the bases. Nick Swisher cleared some traffic with a two-run single. He also booted Guthrie from the game, assuring him of his shortest outing in 2014.
The offense could not bridge the gap.
Butler did get a pair of singles against left-hander T.J. House, which should be enough to keep him in today's lineup for the series finale. Yost had hinted he would consider using new addition Raul Ibanez as the designated hitter in Butler's place against right-hander Corey Kluber.
Yost cherishes consistency. For weeks he has ignored Hosmer's ongoing stagnation and continued to pencil him into the upper third of the batting order. Yet on Saturday he felt compelled to alter his lineup. Salvador Perez replaced Butler in the No. 3 spot.
"I've really got no argument for it," Butler said. "Because I haven't been hitting the ball like I was."
Yost executed the switch despite the recent winning. No longer could he watch Perez crack hits with the bases empty. No longer could he watch Butler strand his teammates. Asked what he had seen lately from Butler, who entered Saturday with one hit in his previous 19 at-bats, Yost said "Nothing."
"He just got in a funk, you know?" Yost said. "He was really swinging the bat good until we went on this road trip. He was doing fine."
In June, Butler posted an .811 on-base-plus-slugging percentage, which was better than his overall output in 2013 (.787 OPS) and within striking distance of his production in 2011 (.822).
"I still feel he's capable of being the Billy that we've had," Yost said. "He hasn't really been."
With that, Butler could not disagree. He does not expect to remain a No. 6 hitter for long. But he was a No. 6 hitter on Saturday.
"You set yourself for things like that when you're not playing at the caliber I have my whole career," he said. "I'm just not in a groove right now."

Mike Farrell, actor and life-long opponent of capital punishment, often and passionately speaks about the inhumanity of state-sanctioned killings and our collective response to it. He believes that there are "appropriate sanctions that protect society and punish wrongdoers without forcing us to stoop to the level of the least among us," and he is hopeful that public response against capital punishment "will at least give [people] pause in their support for death."
Among a myriad of reasons for his belief that capital punishment should be abolished, Farrell sees the abolishment as a cost-effective measure, arguing that a life sentence "spares us the barbarity of killing our own [as well as it] it teaches our children that violence will be punished, but not by emulating the violent." We shouldn't be willing, he asserts, to "continue to share the killing stage with some of the world's worst human rights violators."
In a recent interview, Farrell discusses his work over the years, what he sees as a viable alternative to capital punishment, and what he views as some of the greatest barriers to its repeal in the United States.
Anne: What experiences, if any, helped shaped your views on the need for the abolishment of the death penalty?
Mike Farrell: Working with a program for ex-offenders in the 60s took me into prisons for the first time. The soul-crushing dehumanization in these institutions troubled me deeply. I wondered how anyone whose life experience had been so miserable that he or she had responded by acting out in a violent or anti-social way and [who] ended up in one of these places could ever be expected to get better under the circumstances that were present.
I had been taught as a child that "thou shall not kill," and I took it to heart. Believing that killing was wrong, I thought it was just as wrong for the state to do it as for an individual to do it, so I signed petitions and spoke against the death penalty in conversations but was not particularly active on the issue. After the death penalty was reinstated by the Supreme Court in the Gregg Decision (in 1976), I was contacted by Reverend Joe Ingle, who ran the Southern Coalition on Jails and Prisons. I was doing a television show at the time and Joe asked me to help him head off what he saw as a coming avalanche of killing by the State. Joe took me to my first Death Row, at Tennessee State Prison, and introduced me to a number of abolitionists with whom he worked. That began what has become thirty years of working to abolish capital punishment.
Anne: Do you believe that a person convicted of a heinous crime and sentenced to death is capable of being rehabilitated if given a life sentence without the possibility of parole?
MF: Absolutely. Of course it depends on the individual, but I believe in the ability of human beings to transform their lives. I've worked with many people over the years whose life experience has been so immiserating that it defies belief, but I've seen them overcome circumstances and experiences that defy the imagination and become powerful, meaningful, and productive citizens.
Let me quickly add that though I absolutely believe in the capacity of even the most damaged individual to transform his or her life, I realize that some may be so bent by the cruel circumstances of their experience that it would not be safe to release them into society. For that reason, I believe we should maintain the penalty of life in prison without the possibility of parole as a last resort.
Anne: If you are aware of the Troy Davis case (Georgia, September 2011), where worldwide attention–and much controversy–surrounded his execution, what response do you have to those who believe that Davis "got what he deserved" for his involvement in the killing of the off-duty police officer, despite overwhelming evidence that pointed to Davis' innocence.
MF: I corresponded with Troy and knew his sister. Bless them both. I think it was a huge miscarriage of justice that the State of Georgia refused to stop the execution in spite of the serious doubts about his guilt and the international outcry against his execution. Those who support his having been executed, in my view, either do not fully understand the facts of the case or are blinding themselves to reality. Both views are further evidence of why we must stop this hateful process [of state-sanctioned killings].
Anne: Your involvement in the anti-death movement is long and varied. Can you discuss one or two particular cases wherein the convicted person's repetitive claims of innocence led to a re-evaluation of their case and their (subsequent) sentencing to life without parole?
MF: Well, let's be clear: The re-evaluation and re-sentencing of someone usually results when it is proven in court or demonstrated to a head of state that while the individual may be guilty, the circumstances of the crime, the mitigating factors in the individual's life or the changes he or she has demonstrated while incarcerated show that death is not appropriate.
However, in some instances it's not the proverbial 'half a loaf.' In the internationally known Pennsylvania case of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the federal court threw out the death sentence because of an error by the trial judge and ordered the Philadelphia District Attorney to either re-try the penalty phase of the case or agree to a sentence of life without parole. The D. A. appealed the decision and recently lost, so Abu-Jamal's sentence has been changed to life without parole. For many people who believe him innocent, that is not a satisfactory conclusion to the matter.
I, for one, feel that Mumia Abu-Jamal never received a fair trial and deserves one. I can't comment on his guilt or innocence since there are contradictory allegations and many contrasting "facts" that pollute the case, but it's quite clear to me that he deserves a fair trial and will not–and should not–be content with a life sentence.
Anne: In Florida, there have been thirteen men who have been exonerated through DNA evidence. One of the men, Frank Lee Smith, died in prison (after having served 14 years behind bars) before his scheduled release date. Another man, James Bain, has the dubious distinction of having served, at 35 years, the nation's longest sentence behind bars for a crime he did not commit. Has your work involved any aspect of court-ordered DNA evidence, and, if so, how has such DNA evidence impacted your work on capital punishment cases?
MF: I believe the DNA test in Frank Lee Smith's case proved him innocent after he died in prison. That is a ghastly error and should move the people of the State of Florida to demand an end to capital punishment. I don't see DNA [however] as the 'magic bullet' that will solve all the issues pertinent to capital punishment, but innocence projects are doing a fine job of using it to demonstrate–in over 250 cases so far–that wrongful convictions take place regularly.
It's important to point out, though, that fewer than twenty of their [Innocence Projects across the nation] DNA exonerations have been for people sentenced to death. That's because murders often take place without any traceable DNA (blood, semen or tissue) being left at the scene by the perpetrator.
Anne: In your work as an advocate against capital punishment, what do you see as some of the greatest barriers to its repeal in the United States? People's attitudes? The courts'? An eye-for-an-eye mindset by victims' families? People's religious views?
MF: All of the above. Many of our nation's citizens have been frightened into averting their eyes from a horrendously broken system by prosecutors' stories and a sensationalistic press, both of which emphsize blood, gore and violence. Out of fear and revulsion, they go along with it, assuming the condemned are 'getting what they deserve,' and that 'they [the accused] don't deserve to live.' These attitudes are bolstered, in some instances, by fundamentalist religious teachings, a vague notion that the Bible supports it, or a belief that the court and the law in general are handling things well enough, despite the fact that they are not.
Anne: Statistics show that people of color are disproportionately sentenced to death more frequenty than others accused of the same crime. Can you address the issue of racial disparities associated with death penalty sentencing among minorities and what perhaps accounts for such disparities?
MF: There's no question that racism taints the use of the death penalty and everyone who pays attention knows it. Despite the Supreme Court's unwillingness to face it in the McClesky Case many years ago, the rise and growing interest in the Racial Justice Act in this country is evidence of the inevitability of the exposure of the rampant racism in the criminal justice system and ultimately the end of the death penalty.
NOTE: This is the first part of a two-part interview with Mike Farrell. Farrell is perhaps best known as "Captain B. J. Hunnicutt" from the CBS show M*A*S*H, where he appeared from 1975-1983.
Farrell is actively involved in numerous abolition and human rights organizations, including: the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty; the Human Rights Watch, where he served as Co-Chair of the California Committee from 1994-2005; the Committee to Save Mumia Abu-Jamal, which he co-chaired with Ossie Davis from 1994-2002; and the ACLU, for its "active and effective opposition to the death penalty." An activist in every aspect of the word, he was recently bestowed the Donald Wright Award for "Special Contributions to the Criminal Justice System" by the California Attorneys for Criminal Justice. He is the second person to receive the award who is neither an attorney or judge.

Now entering its third month, the hunger strike among prisoners at Guantánamo Bay continues, as the men there continue to risk their lives to protest their indefinite detention. According to defense lawyers, almost all of the men in Camp 6, a communal living area for more "cooperative" prisoners, are participating in the hunger strike. Prisoners who have stopped eating have lost more than 30 pounds. Medical experts confirm that the consequences of extended fasting can be extreme:
irreversible cognitive impairment and physiological damage such as loss of hearing, blindness, and hemorrhage may begin to occur by the 40th day of a hunger strike, and death follows thereafter.
The hunger strike presents in stark terms the criminal nature of our government's detention policy. The government has cleared over half of the men at the prison for release, but still keeps then locked away from their families and contact with the outside world, with no end in sight. That these men are willing to risk their lives to protest their confinement, despite the fact that they have been cleared for release highlights the emptiness of President Obama's promise to close the prison. Even the military has recognized that the administration's failure to close the prison has triggered this desperate protest.
Gen. John Kelly, the head of U.S. Southern Command, explained to the House Armed Services Committee last week, detainees "had great optimism that Guantanamo would be closed. They were devastated . . . when the president backed off. . . . He said nothing about it in his inauguration speech. . . . He said nothing about it in his State of the Union speech. . . . He's not restaffing the office that . . . looks at closing the facility."
In solidarity with the hunger strikers, organizations, including Witness Against Torture, the Center for Constitutional Rights, Amnesty International and World Can't Wait are calling for an emergency National Day of Action on April 11 to demand the closure of Guantánamo and an end to indefinite detention.The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights recently echoed these calls, noting that the imprisonment of many of the prisoners without charge or trial is a violation of international law. A number of groups, including BORDC, sent a letter to President Obama to ask that he begin to transfer prisoners from Guantanamo and appoint a high level official to take responsibility for closing the prison. People of conscience can take action to call for the forever prison's closure:
Raise your voice! Join the Day of Action! You can: Organize a local demonstration demanding the closure of Guantánamo. Ideal locations are Federal buildings, congressional offices, and U.S. military sites like recruitment centers. We can help you plan a rally. Write to [email protected] Call the White House comment line at 202.456.1111 or switchboard at 202.456.1414 and say, "President Obama, there is a humanitarian crisis at Guantánamo. I urge you to swiftly close the prison by releasing the men you will not charge and by giving fair trials to those you will." You can also e-mail the White House from www.whitehouse.gov/contact Twitter Storm President @BarackObama @WhiteHouse Keep your promise: #closegitmo #GitmoHungerStrike

Matching Funding for URCO Grants
Undergraduate Research and Creative Opportunity (URCO) awards provide a one semester, $1,000 scholarship, to support original research, scholarship, or creative work by USU undergraduates with the guidance of a faculty member. Proposals may also include requests for additional funds to cover the costs of equipment, supplies, and project-related travel.
To support students in this program, the Caine College of the Arts will set aside funds from Differential Tuition each semester to provide matching funding for student URCO grants. Students applying for matching funds must be a current major in one of the departments of the Caine College of the Arts to be eligible (Art & Design, Music, Theatre Arts). Proposals will be funded on a first-come, first-served basis until the appropriated funding has been exhausted. Departmental matches are appropriate and encouraged, since they will make the funds go farther.
Students applying for an URCO grant through the USU Office of Research and Graduate Studies should work with a faculty member to develop their proposal according to the official guidelines: https://urco.usu.edu.
CCA may provide up to $250 in matching scholarship funds and $500 for matching equipment/supplies/travel funds (total of $750). Matching scholarship funding may also be awarded for group projects (see https://urco.usu.edu for details).
Completed URCO proposals are due to the CCA Dean's Office for review at least one week (not applicable for fall 2015—see below) prior to the RGS submission deadline in order to be considered for matching funding. Following review, CCA will send letters of commitment for matching funds to students, which the student will submit with their completed proposal to the Office of Research and Graduate studies.
Students who are awarded URCO grants must submit a copy of their award letter to the CCA Financial Officer, at which point they will work with their department head and department staff assistant to receive their matching funds.

mVisible is a research project where small groups of students use Android phones and pads outside the classroom to explore natural phenomena. In mVisible the students are to identify and learn the characteristics of species of plants and trees, and to count the number of trees for each species to learn what kind of forest they are working in. Plants and trees are tagged with QR-codes, and when scanned with a mobile phone the code gives additional information on the characteristics of each species. A pie chart created on the Android pad can then be used to see how the different species are distributed.
mVisible is a project at DSV/Stockholm University in collaboration with a local school. It is aimed at fifth grade students. Prototyping and field trials of mVisible 1 was done in spring 2011, the main study was in May/June and analysis in autumn 2011. A follow-up study called mVisible 2, which focused on identification of tree species and compared student interaction in different setups, was held in spring 2012.

Tremor Video had revenue growth of 41 percent in the most recent quarter year over year. It's good news for the video network, which recently announced it would be getting rid of the last few bits of auto-playing banner-video inventory and now is entirely in-stream. CEO Bill Day said the network's engagement metrics helped drive growth in Q2. "[Your content] may be delivering hits brilliantly, but your creative isn't engaging with your target audience and that's a problem," he said. In-stream revenue accounted for $34.4 million of $35.5 million in revenue. Losses were less pronounced, as well—the net loss was $0.3 million versus last year's $4.8 million. The company predicted it will be profitable this year, with revenue for the full year projected in the $133.7 million to $135.7 million range. Sharehttp://adweek.it/1cOTdQ3 copy Adweek Adweek

Washington: Einstein researchers have found a molecule in the brain that may contribute to obesity and one of its major complications – type 2 diabetes.
Nerve cells in the brain`s hypothalamus detect nutrients and hormones circulating in the blood and then coordinate a complex series of behavioral and physiological responses to maintain a balance between calories eaten and calories burned.
Obesity and diabetes can result when this regulatory mechanism goes awry.
Now, a research by postdoctoral fellow Clemence Blouet and Prof Gary Schwartz at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University has revealed a molecule in the brain that may contribute to those health problems.
Their study on mouse models has shown that excess nutrient availability leads to an overabundance of a protein found in nutrient-sensing nerve cells of the hypothalamus.
They concluded that increased levels of this protein, known as thioredoxin-interacting protein, or TXNIP, contribute to the onset of obesity and the impaired control of blood sugar levels that characterizes type 2 diabetes.
"Our study indicates that TXNIP in hypothalamic nerve cells provides a crucial link between brain nutrient sensing and the increases in body weight and fat mass that lead to obesity and diabetes," said Schwartz.
"Hyperglycemia—pathologically elevated glucose levels—causes an excess of TXNIP in hypothalamic neurons, which in turn may contribute in several ways to a breakdown in energy homeostasis—the balance between calories taken in and calories burned.
"For example, we``ve found that elevated TXNIP in nerve cells contributes to obesity by decreasing energy expenditure, as evidenced by decreased physical activity, and by reducing the rate at which fat is burned to produce energy. In addition to increasing fat mass, hypothalamic TXNIP overabundance also impairs glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity—two of the hallmarks of diabetes," said Schwartz.
Their findings were published in the April 20 online edition of the Journal of Neuroscience.

WASHINGTON – By virtue of the quirky way the NHL decides tie games—with a skills competition that rewards the team that loses—both the New York Islanders and Washington Capitals have completed a steady climb into playoff position.
The Capitals won a shootout to beat the Islanders 2-1 Thursday night, moving Washington atop the Southeast Division and New York into seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
Braden Holtby made 35 saves and then was perfect in the shootout, and Washington also got the help it needed when the Montreal Canadiens finished off a 4-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets. The Capitals and Jets both have 38 points, but Washington has two games in hand.
The Capitals also have momentum, winning six of their last eight, no longer resembling the team that started 2-8-1 in the lockout-shortened season.
"It's been a tough season in that aspect—always looking up," Holtby said. "We all knew we're capable of (being) where we should be, and that's at the top. You know, this last little while we've all focused on what we need to do, and that's be successful. And we knew if we do that, we'll be where we want to be at the end of the year."
Meanwhile, the Islanders picked up a standings point and benefited from the New Jersey Devils' 1-0 loss to the Boston Bruins. In the New York metropolitan area's three-way race that takes up the middle of the standings, the Islanders have won five of seven games and stand at 40 points, while the Devils and Rangers each have 39.
The Islanders are trying to make the playoffs for first time since 2007, which also happens to be the last time the Capitals weren't in the post-season.
"We'll take the point," Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. "It's on the road, tough building to play in against a real good hockey team. So, yeah, we'd like to get the two, but one is better than none."
Mike Green scored on a wrister from the right circle with 13 seconds remaining in the first period for the Capitals, and Alex Ovechkin was the only player from either team to find the net in the shootout. Green has five goals in his last four games.
Holtby was stellar, with fans chanting his name when he denied Frans Nielsen and John Tavares in the shootout and got a break when Brad Boyes lost control of the puck while skating in on net. Making his 10th consecutive start, Holtby needed seemingly every reflex he had, whether it was sliding left to blunt Keith Aucoin's attempted tap-in at the edge of the crease in the first period or sticking out his right pad to thwart Andrew MacDonald's blast during a four-on-four sequence in the second.
"Holts was a stud," Capitals forward Brooks Laich said. "He was a stud throughout the game. He made some tremendous saves. They had some great looks where, we saw it from the bench, we thought it was going in and he was able to get a pad across and then came up big in the shootout."
Evgeni Nabokov was Holtby's equal, making 21 stops. Kyle Okposo's one-timer with 4:59 to play in regulation forced overtime and assured that both teams would emerge with something.
"The guys will enjoy it for a little bit, but we've got a lot of hockey left," Washington coach Adam Oates said. "I think it's more important that we focus on the (games this) weekend because it obviously can drop just as fast."
Notes: RW Martin Erat, acquired at Wednesday's trade deadline from the Nashville Predators, played 14:43 in his Washington debut. With Erat in the lineup, Washington LW Jason Chimera was a healthy scratch for the first time this season. … Capitals RW Eric Fehr returned after missing four games with an upper-body injury. … Tavares, who had nine goals in his previous 13 games, was bottled up by the Capitals and managed only one shot on goal. He was also stuffed by Holtby on the final attempt in the shootout. … Other than the shootout, Ovechkin was also kept off the score sheet, ending his points streak at nine games. … Capitals C Brooks Laich took his last shift with 9:26 left in regulation. "He looked a little sore all over," Oates said.

10 Worst-dressed K-pop idols from the 29th Golden Disk Awards
The 29th Annual Golden Disk Awards were held in the MasterCard Center in Beijing, China on January 14 and 15. The prestigious awards ceremony (aka Korean Grammy Awards) has been in existence since 1986. This year, K-pop recording artists flocked to the location to sing, pick up their awards, and show off the latest styles.
We've already discussed our favorite outfits, but some of their choices in attire, however, were a miss rather a hit. Below are some of the fashion misses of the two-night event:
1. Taemin
His outfit screams two things: a rocker and a modern chic suit. A decision should have been made on which look to wear.
Spring hasn't sprung yet. The talented boy group should have considered color coordinating before walking the red carpet.
3. Girls' Generation-TTS (Taetiseo)
The way the dresses are cut were nice, but the fabric is all wrong. Is the design a series of candy canisters or keyboards?
4. BESTie
The colors are elegant, but daisy dukes are not right for the red carpet. Plus, it may have been a little chilly since it's still January.
5. Taeyang
Howdy, idol! I think the Big Bang member dressed a little too Country Western for an awards show.
See Song Ha Yoon and Teen Top's Changjo in the lighthearted fantasy comedy Sweden Laundry:
6. Ailee
Is she channeling Hyun Bin's character in Hyde, Jekyll, and I, or is this a new Phantom of The Opera look? I'm not into it.
7. Sistar
White is classic. When a member forgets the bottom half of her outfit, however, it ruins the whole look.
8. HyunA
This dress is appropriate for the hottest club, but this is an upscale awards ceremony.
9. Girl's Day
The dresses scream belly dancers in crushed velvet! I have never heard of a belly dancer wearing crushed velvet. Plus, they aren't even showing their stomachs. Fellow girl group Red Velvet may be jealous of the color and texture, though.
These are great clothes to wear on a safari or journey into the rainforest. They dressed for the great outdoors, not an awards show.
What is your opinion of the worst-dressed list?

This article from the Catholic World Report is wonderful. It quotes Arlene Oost-Zinner, Adam Bartlett, Kathy Pluth, Jeffrey Ostrowski, and Msgr. Andrew Wadsworth. Highly recommended.
After years of neglect in many American parishes, chanted Mass propers are making a comeback, thanks in part to new online resources.
The publication of the new English translation of the Roman Missal has helped revive interest in the use of chant in the ordinary form of Holy Mass. The Roman Missal includes many more chanted texts than did the previous edition, allowing clergy and people alike to "sing the Mass, rather than merely to sing at Mass," as Msgr. Andrew Wadsworth, executive director of the ICEL (International Committee on English in the Liturgy) Secretariat, said in a 2010 address.Members of the choir sing during the annual Christmas concert at St. Malachy's Church -- The Actors' Chapel in New York Dec. 13, 2010.

Read the full articleThe new Roman Missal includes a new translation of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM), which also has fostered greater interest in chant. Citing Sacrosanctum Concilium (the Second Vatican Council's Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy) and subsequent curial documents, the GIRM states that "the main place should be given, all things being equal, to Gregorian chant, as being proper to the Roman Liturgy.… Since the faithful from different countries come together ever more frequently, it is desirable that they know how to sing together at least some parts of the Ordinary of the Mass in Latin, especially the Profession of Faith and the Lord's Prayer, according to the simpler settings" (nos. 41-42).When Catholics think of Gregorian chant at Mass, many tend first to think of chants associated with the Ordinary of the Mass—that is, the parts of the Mass that tend not to vary from day to day—for example, the Kyrie, Gloria, Profession of Faith (Credo), Sanctus, and Agnus Dei.

Diamond Color
Izzy: "The next thing you need look into a diamond when you're looking to purchase is the color. There's colorless diamonds, there's near colorless diamonds, then there's yellowish, brownish, pinkish, and all the colors. If you're trying to get a nice white diamond, I would recommend staying from a D to F color, which stands for colorless. Colorless diamonds are good for when you don't want to spend so much. So if you have a color, you're going to pay a premium for it.
If you want to save some money, you can go to G color or H color, which is near colorless and actually looks like a colorless diamond. If I showed you an F color and a G color and put them next to each other, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference with your naked eye. You would actually have to go to the lab and get it checked. And you would need 3 or 4 opinions on whether its an F or a G. That's how complicated it is to tell an F from a G. You can go to a G and the prices drop. You can save about 20-30%. So if a diamond is $10,000, you'll save about $2,000 or $3,000."

10 Year Vision
How To Support
As part of the fundraising effort the School is offering supporters the opportunity to name or sponsor a room, or to make a donation to the Centre for Learning project. There are also opportunities to provide financial support through bursaries, giving more young girls a chance to benefit from the transformational opportunity a Downe House education can provide.
The School has had an enormous amount of positive support over the years. Success breeds success, and everyone likes to see progress and momentum. So over the last year the School has been approaching parents personally, with many already pledging their support.
The School Governors agreed to support the project with a gift of £2 million, a private phase of fundraising raised just over £2.7 million from current and past parents, governors and alumnae, and a further £1.7 million has been donated in the final phase of the fundraising campaign. A further and final £100,000 is all that is needed to complete a state-of-the-art Centre for Learning facility that will enhance the level of learning and boarding experiences for our girls significantly.
Previous generations of parents and alumnae have left Downe House better than they found it which has brought the School to its current state of good health. You, in turn, have the opportunity to contribute to the continued work of the School for the benefit of future generations, and to make Downe House a school to be proud of.
"Downe House is not a school that is rich with endowments. It relies solely on fee income and on the generosity of its community - current and former parents, alumnae and others.
The School was not originally established as a charitable foundation and has no major endowments for charitable purposes, but it has acquired charitable status in more recent years as a natural consequence of its work in fulfilling its fundamental purpose of providing an excellent all-round education.
We have the determination and the expertise – and a glowing track record – to be able to deliver tomorrow's level of education today. All we need is the financial resources to make it possible and to create a state-of-the-art Centre for Learning facility that will transform the level of education for our girls."Michelle Scott
Assistant Headmistress (Foundation)

text: Danilo Lopez In Loving Memory Print Danilo Lopez was the light of my life for nearly three decades. I walked in his memory in 2017 the Light The Night on October 21 to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. He would be honored to know that he was the Memorial Hero. Danilo lit up so many lives. I know he would appreciate this last hurrah. When he was diagnosed with cancer in 2014, we'd just returned from a vacation in Puerto Vallarta. One day, he looked at me and said, "I have lumps under my arms." We thought maybe he'd had an allergic reaction to the lobster we'd eaten the night before. But then, the night sweats began. Other symptoms started showing up. A few weeks later, Dr. Raymond Taetle at Arizona Oncology sat us down and said the words we were hoping he wouldn't: "This is not good. You have lymphoma." Danilo, an eternal optimist, never lost hope. I never heard one complaint, even throughout six weeks of chemotherapy, and then a second round when the first didn't work. Then losing his hair. And finally, a third round of chemo. Through it all, my husband stayed strong. But the cancer was even stronger. I will never forget that morning I visited my doctor. He told me my husband had three to six months to live. Danilo stayed strong for five months before passing away on July 12, 2015. It's bittersweet, really. Cancer had him for 10 months, but I got Danilo for nearly 30 years. I know he would have loved the mariachis who played at his funeral. They were just his style! Danilo and I always wanted to vacation in Italy. My friend Cynthia and I went after he passed. I missed Danilo every step of the way. But I knew he was there in spirit. We were on a tour bus headed to our B&B when our tour guide announced the chef cooking for us that night was named Danilo. He was definitely with us! Our son, Paul Danilo, and I walked to honor Danilo's constantly generous spirit. He would have given his shirt off his back to anyone. In fact, I'd seen him do just that several times. In turn, I want to do what I can to give back. Our goal is to find a cure for cancer and every bit you give today helps us achieve that goal.

Sara Bell is the talented mult-instrumentalist and honey-throated siren who spent time in Dish and Angels of Epistemology, and now alternates between playing with Shark Quest and fronting Regina Hexaphone. Both have released new albums this year, Gods & Devils and Beautiful World, respectively.
1. Patti Smith--Radio Ethiopia: "I've been listening to it nonstop for like 20 years now and whatever is going on in my life or whatever I want to hear it always feels relevant and transcendent."
2. Bob Dylan--Desire: "Since this was on the last list I almost traded it in for The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave, but ultimately I couldn't because this truly is a record that would be hard to live without."
3. Rickie Lee Jones--Traffic From Paradise: "Rickie Lee Jones is the best writer and arranger. Heaven-climbing harmonies, everything so perfect, always something new revealing itself in her poetry. Great late at night when you have a long way to drive."
4. Black Heart Procession--2: "I want to be in this glass carnival world they create. This is a pretty new obsession but I am transfixed. Certain moments the lyrics catch you off guard, they are so beautiful."
5. The Otis Redding Story: "I'm cheating because this is a box set with three records, but this way you get all these great love songs. You could fall asleep under the stars listening to Otis sing, but you'd also be able to have a raunchy dance party, because I expect some good dance music would be very necessary on the desert island."
Shark Quest hosts their record release party on Friday, Sept. 3 at Local 506 with Des Ark and Billy Sugarfix; Regina Hexaphone plays an Independent-sponsored showcase Tuesday, Sept. 7 at Local 506 with International Orange and The Balance.

Hospital bosses urged to come clean
The Trust which runs the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford and the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital is being told to be honest about its plans for key emergency services.
The Leader of Telford & Wrekin Council has called on the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust (SaTH) to come clean after one of the borough's MPs claimed to have had assurances that the Women and Children's Centre will stay at the Princess Royal Hospital.
Cllr Shaun Davies said: "I have read what the MP has said about assurances she received from SaTH.
"There are two simple questions that need to be asked: Will all the current services that are delivered at the Women and Children's Centre still be provided at the Princess Royal Hospital in the future? And will all A&E services being provided at the Hospital continue? The answers to both questions are 'No'.
"This is another example of health bosses trying to downgrade the hospital and bring in changes by the back door.
"In January, in a newsletter to patients, they said their preferred option for a single A&E was Shrewsbury. Then they said Telford was going to keep an A&E which, in fact, is their planned downgraded walk-in Urgent Care Centre under another name.
"Then, they began to plan for a possible overnight closure of A&E in Telford. Again, this was something we were not told of in advance, despite being a stakeholder.
"Now we hear of assurances given by SaTH to the MP for Telford (Lucy Allan) that the Women and Children's Centre is to stay.
"We understand SaTH's latest plan is to keep the name of the Women and Children's Centre, but it wouldn't be the same facility Telford currently has and which only opened two-and-a-half years ago. It would be just a name, carried over from the current centre and given to a normal maternity unit that would not deal with all the cases currently seen at the £28million centre.
"This is misleading. We have repeatedly sought assurances from SaTH about their plans and not been given them.
"The Trust must confirm that the Women and Children's Centre and A&E will remain at Telford until their ultimate futures are decided in a process and is carried out properly, legally and fairly.
"It is more vital than ever that we now make our feelings known about our hospital services.
"Over Easter our PRH4Me campaign has smashed the 30,000 barrier for the number of pledges.
"Our planned march and rally this Sunday takes on a greater emphasis to make sure our voices are heard. Join us in Walker Street, Wellington at 2pm or, for those unable to walk the one mile distance, meet at Charlton School for the last leg.
"And next month, the Council will hold an Extraordinary General Meeting on a motion of 'No Confidence' in the management of SaTH.
"You can still pledge your support to the PRH4Me campaign at this Sunday's march and rally, or online at www.prh4me.co.uk . "We intend to deliver these pledges and the very loud and clear message from people here at the highest level."

Jay Leno just had to ask Heidi Klum about the story of her dancing on a table at a Golden Globes after party on "The Tonight Show." Klum wasn't embarrassed about it, and in fact said that someone had to do it. She and a friend had decided that Harvey Weinstein's party was just too boring, so with a few glasses of champagne in her as courage, Klum took matters into her own hands.
Leno asked her if she'd ever fallen, and Klum said that she hadn't because she had skills. She then proceeded to prove it by having Leno help her get up on his desk. This, despite wearing a flowing dress that was sheer well up the sides of her legs.
Nevertheless, she proved very stable on her feet -- and she didn't even need champagne courage to get up there -- and showed off a few moves to music before deftly climbing back down on her own.
Leno was all smiles throughout the demonstration.
"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" is on every weeknight at 11:35 p.m. EST on NBC.

National Frappe Day is celebrated on October 4th each year. The staff at National Whatever Day were unable to uncover the origin of this tasty day, but love to celebrate it by sipping on their vary own frappe.
A frappe is a chilled or frozen drink originating from the French word "frapper" meaning to chill. In today's caffeinated society, a frappe is often thought of as a coffee drink. This may be due to Starbucks who popularized their brand of a frappe, Frappuccino, in 1995. Even tough coffee is the most popular flavor of frappe, it can be made with any flavor such as fruit.
According to popular legend, coffee style frappe was invented in September 1957 when a Nestle sales representative, Dimitrios Vakondios ran out of hot water. Vakondios was in the middle of a instant coffee presentation when he discovered there was no hot water for the mixture. Instead of giving up, he reached for a shaker meant for Nesquick and filled it with the instant coffee and a bit of cold water. This chilled, foamy concoction was an instant hit!
