2007 Grant - S. Lee
A Novel Transgenic Model for Alzheimer's Disease
Hyoung-gon Lee, Ph.D.
Case Western Reserve University
Cleveland, Ohio
2007 New Investigator Research Grant
Cells in many parts of the body reproduce themselves by cell division throughout the life of the organism. While some new cell growth occurs in the adult brain, mature brain cells usually die when they are induced to divide. Studies have shown, however, that brain cells attempting to divide are much more common in Alzheimer's disease. These observations suggest that the cell death seen in Alzheimer's may arise from unknown signals that stimulate brain cells to divide. However, the association between cell division and Alzheimer pathology is not well understood.
In preliminary experiments, Hyoung-gon Lee, Ph.D., and colleagues have identified a protein that induces brain cells to enter the cell division cycle. This protein is encoded by MYC, a gene that also is associated with numerous cancers. Moreover, the team found that MYC-induced cell division led to the production of abnormal tau protein. Abnormal tau tends to form tangles that represent a key hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. To further study the effects of MYC, Dr. Lee's team developed a mouse model that produced MYC protein in the forebrain. Researchers found that the protein drove forebrain brain cells in the mice to enter the cell division cycle, which initiated the production of abnormal tau.
For this proposed grant, Dr. Lee's team will conduct more thorough studies of their mice to understand the biological mechanisms behind MYC-induced brain cell division. Results could lead to novel therapies for preventing brain cell death in Alzheimer's disease.

The review is coming on Wednesday, so you'll get the full blowout then. But I won't lie, there's a lot of fan service in FFXIII-2, which is great if you played and loved the first one, but much of the narrative won't have the same impact and may prove even more confusing than it already is.

Home Tour: A Chic and Feminine Australian Apartment
When we laid eyes on this stunning apartment from Sydney-based designer Greg Natale, we were immediately smitten. The gorgeous, delicate spaces feel like a dream, but ample use of black furniture, stone finishes, and modern detailing keep the home grounded. We're treating this space as a study in good taste, so if you're also digging this feminine, modern style, here are ways to get a similar look in your own home.
A limited palette of black, grey, and blue tones allow the lines and details of the lighting, furniture, and accessories to become the focus. As seen here, include gold, brass, and crystal touches to break up the monotony and add a hint of sparkle.

The classic crown moulding and black and white floor keep the small space timeless and sophisticated. Include a similar surprising moment in your home by opting for a bold color in your powder room or even the interior of a closet.

ATLANTA — Bull Realty has brokered the sale of 497 acres located 60 miles north of Atlanta in Jackson and Hall counties at full list price of $1.8 million. The Fields of Walnut Creek, a partially developed residential community, sold in an all-cash sale on Sept. 30. Perry Hayes, associate broker at Bull Realty, represented the seller, United Central Bank, in the transaction. Grant Whitworth of Whitworth Land Corp. represented the buyer, Walton Georgia LLC.
"The sale of The Fields of Walnut Creek shows how far the residential market has come in Atlanta," Hayes said. "There was little interest when we originally marketed the property for sale at the end of 2012. When a previous buyer failed to close, Bull Realty re-listed the property this June and had multiple competing offers. The property sold at full list price."
"It's amazing how fast land values have escalated in such a short period of time," added Michael Bull, president and founder of Bull Realty. Bull Realty brokers have closed several notable land sales in and around Atlanta in the last year.
The 497-acre Fields of Walnut Creek has 123 partially developed lots, 151 raw lots and does not have public sewer. The buyer plans to hold the property for future residential development and housing.
Bull Realty Inc (www.BullRealty.com) is a U.S. commercial real estate sales and advisory firm headquartered in Atlanta. The firm was founded 15 years ago with two primary missions: 1) to provide a company of stellar integrity and, 2) to provide the best commercial real estate marketing in the nation.
Perry Hayes, Associate Broker, Land and Developer Services with Bull Realty has been selling land and developing real estate in Atlanta for twenty years. Perry uses his experience in land sales and acquisitions, site analysis and development skills to add value to his client's real estate transactions.

Besides all of the other official apps released today and yesterday, Microsoft Research (that super cool group at Redmond), has just released a new beta app called 'Academic Search'. Title is pretty self explanatory as far as the topic. Here's the app description:
"Academic Search WP7 client is a free academic search application based on new technologies from Microsoft Research. It gives users access to more than 27 million publications on multiple academic domains."
Huzzah. Sounds pretty cool to us and seems like a great way to kill time, especially if you're into that type of work. As of right now, ours didn't populate, but imagine they still have to throw the switch. Grab it here in the Marketplace.

hi there,
bit of a newcomer to web building, and having now finished a site which is xhtml transitional validated (except for the <embed> on the first page for the embedded .rm file... which from what i've seen around the net, is insurmountable).
But I have a couple of questions which are baffling me. Here is a link to the home page:
1) For some reason, on IE, the site is aligned to the left hand side, whereas on NN and Mozilla it is centred, as it should be according to the CSS script. Any reason why?
2) At the bottom, on the bottom bar, I have some logo images, which i would like centered in the bottom bar along with the text, but can't for the life of me figure out how.
Any help, advice, pointers, etc, gratefully appreciated.

The Best Peruvian Restaurants in BogotaFood, Things to Do — By Richard McColl on February 8, 2012 at 11:08 pm
You're invited. On the menu for today, some delicately marinated slivers of fish, layered with rocoto chile peppers, onions, some picante and a light yet sweet pisco sour to wash it down.
Have I got your attention?
And I'm not done yet. How about some Papa a la Huacaina as a starter followed by some anticuchos de pollo before digging into that exotic looking ceviche?
In my personal opinion Peruvian cuisine is amongst the world's best, if not up there in the number one spot. Numero uno as you would say in Lima, and perhaps, the more internationally inclined Bogotano may concede Peruvian cuisine this fine accolade as well.
So popular is Peruvian cooking, the perfectly balanced blend of indigenous practices, drawing on Peru's varied microclimates and the availability of such a variety of ingredients, mixed with immigrant European, African and Asian influences, that you'll not be found wanting in Bogota.
And if seafood is not the order of the day, you can delve into the Asiatic influences so beloved in Peruvian cooking and enjoy a hearty and filling Arroz chaufa.
So, where to go in Bogota for Peruvian Food?
Three Ideas
Standing alone as the most fashionable Peruvian haunt at the moment is La Mar, located in the fashionable district of Usaquen. Book on weekends as this is where Bogota's elite come for their ceviche fix.
Located a little more centrally and not far from the business district you can enjoy staple and solid platters at Mi Peru in Quinta Camacho. The Aji de Gallina is particularly good here.
Sophisticated and chic and ideally placed in the Zona G, Rosales is Nazca. Named after the infamous lines in Nazca, you'll be dining alongside politicians and members of the Peruvian Embassy, perhaps the most definitive seal of approval.
Great recommendations, my boss is Peruvian so I'll send him your post!
surya area rugs I seriously many thanks for well-written and also researched details You've got genuinely found just how well-versed yourself on about this theme. To be sure with a lot of of your viewpoints. I most certainly will always stick to your own documents. Well done.

Winter Solstice

Happy Winter Solstice!
Tomorrow is the Solstice, the shortest day of the year for those of us in the northern hemisphere. We will gather with friends and family for a feast, candles, talk and music.
It has been on my mind this week. We leave for work in the dark and return home in the dark again. It isn't until the weekends that we sponge for daylight and hope for sun.
But there are also perks within these darkened days - clear, cold nights with bright stars and the aurora borealis. Hence my Solstice ornament!

But there are also perks within these darkened days - clear, cold nights with bright stars and the aurora borealis. Hence my Solstice ornament!
Dab a mixed color palette of Distress inks on photo paper. Blend with paper towel. When dry, use StazOn ink (Jet Black, here) to stamp New Moon. Paper punch and set aside for layering.
Start on your background. I used a heavy black cardstock with a stardust appeal. On it, I painted the northern lights using acrylic paints: teal, magenta and lime. I used a paper scrap cut die of evergreen trees to line the bottom edge of my skyscape. From there, I added white ink for snow on the tree boughs, along with a bit of glitter glue. Finally, star gems and moon. Set aside.
Now the fun part; the frame! Roll out a slab of Polymer clay, fairly thin, but sturdy once baked. Press image, Moon Stage, into clay. Trim out the middle, the edges and bake. When finished, I painted a base layer onto the clay. From there, various acrylics, including my base layer Midnight Blue. Once dry, I touched up certain areas with Distress Inks/Brushed Pewter, to add a bit of shine.
Once finished, adhere frame to background with glue, trim, and Happy Solstice!

A sweet and innocent country girl (Louise Huff) gets lured into a Tango parlor by her boyfriend (Edgar Jones) and barely escapes with her virtue. Though transferred to safety stock at the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY, the film is missing its original inter-titles, all of which will have to be restored. In addition, the surviving footage is in random order and needs to be reassembled. All of this laboratory work will be very expensive.

The South Dakota Medicaid Managed Care Program is based on the primary care case management model. Referrals issued by a recipient's primary care provider (PCP) or covering provider to other medical providers is a key component of this managed healthcare program. Most of a recipient's care falls within the realm of 'managed care services'.
These are services that must be provided or referred to other medical providers by the PCP. Recipients can self-refer for services that are exempt from these provisions such as: "true" emergency care, dental, pharmacy and family planning.
Referral: An authorization or 'direction of care' from a recipient's PCP to another medical provider.
Referrals do not supersede other program requirements such as:
Travel distances and the availability of in-state services should be considered prior to making out-of-state referrals.
Referral Information: Information needed on a referral to another provider.
Referral Verifications: The most common way to verify a referral is the use of State provided referral cards. These cards contain the "required referral information".
PCPs may utilize other appropriate verifications such as:
In-house Referral: Implied or otherwise automatic referrals. Formal referral verification is not required for In-house referrals. In-house referrals occur when a recipient is seen by a PCP's covering provider for primary care services with-in the same clinic (i.e. CNP, PA or other covering physician).
Outside Referral: These referrals require verification.
They are usually for services the PCP does not normally provide such as:
Verification of referrals is also required for primary care provided outside of the PCP's clinic. This usually occurs when a recipient is visiting out of town and needs non-emergency medical care (usually made for one or two visits) or to facilitate a change in PCPs (usually made for a month or less).
Further Referrals: A referred provider may refer the recipient for further medical services. Further referrals can only be extended within the original time frame initially authorized by the recipient's PCP (not to exceed one year) and for the original services or condition authorized.
Retroactive Referral: A retroactive or backdated referral is considered inappropriate. Providing verification to follow-up on a verbal authorization or direction from the PCP or covering provider made prior to the service is allowed.
Verifying Referrals: When verifying or back-tracking referrals previously received from sources other than the recipient's PCP, the last referring provider should be contacted to confirm the authorization information. i.e.: hospital consulting services, further referred specialty services, DME, Home Health etc.
Can an in-house provider initiate referrals?
Yes. In-house providers are usually a substitute for the PCP when he/she is not available and are usually given the authority from the PCP to authorize referrals. It is up to the PCP to determine the amount of referral authority granted to in-house providers. The PCP's provider number, and not the number of the covering provider, must be provided on the referral verification.
Can someone other than the PCP sign a referral?
Yes. The PCP or in-house provider can designate a staff member to complete, sign and date referrals. The key is that the referral must be initiated by the PCP or in-house covering provider.
What should be done when a referral is requested after-the-fact?
Check with clinic providers and/or the medical record to see if the service was prior authorized or directed by the PCP or in-house covering provider. If the service was prior authorized/directed, then the referral verification can be completed and sent to the referred-to provider after the date of service.
Should a PCP provide referrals for patients he/she has not seen?
Usually no. The PCP or referred to provider may call the Division of Medical Services if a recipient is actually receiving their primary care from a different PCP.
If you have questions regarding referral procedures, contact the Division of Medical Services at 605.773.3495 or email at email@example.com.

It's tough not to love DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball. The game is so unabashedly joyous about the female form, so happy to bring gamers exactly what they want, and so infectiously happy throughout that it's hard not to get caught up in the virtual hysteria. We got another visual reminder of why the game is going to sell approximately one billion copies today at the Tokyo Game Show. Tecmo's booth was playing an extended trailer for the game at various intervals throughout the show. The presentation also featured live bikini girls, who handed out posters after the movie finished playing. Unfortunately, we were prohibited from taking video of the trailer, so you'll have to make do with our impressions.
Unless you've been living under a rock or a GameCube, you'll know that DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball is an action sports title from Team Ninja, the crew responsible for Dead or Alive 3 and the upcoming Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive code: Cronus. The trailer showcased not only the sports action of the beach volleyball game, but portrayed the girls themselves, in all of their virtual glory. Man, did it portray the girls.
The trailer starts out with Zack's DOA 3 ending movie, in which he takes the DOA money, gambles with it and wins big at the roulette wheel. In Beach Volleyball, the story goes that with his new bank, he buys an island, names it after himself and invites the women of the game to come compete in another tournament. When they show up, though, it was all a ruse--there was never going to be a tournament. Zack just wanted all the ladies to himself on one island. Instead of fighting, they decide to play volleyball. See how that works?
In the trailer, each woman in the DOA bunch gets her own moment in the sun. Spliced between sparing clips of the volleyball game, we got to see little snippets of the girls on their off time. We've heard that these personal profile movies will be unlockable as you complete certain tasks in the game. These movies include shots of girls stretching, splashing in the waves, adjusting their bikinis, stretching, hopping across floating objects in a swimming pool, rolling around in bed, feeding each other sweet, sweet strawberries... did I mention stretching? These cinemas are evocative and playful, and never cross into the realm of being distasteful. The trailer was good, clean fun. Emphasis on fun.
In addition to unlocking movies, it looks as if you'll be able to purchase newer and more revealing swimming suits, and gear like sunglasses, hair clips and the like. The trailer cycled through a lot of these objects, and it looks like you'll have your hands full trying to afford it all.
While the exterior elements of the game will be crucial, the game itself looks pretty good. The graphics are virtually flawless, the volleyball engine looks good from what we can tell, and the settings are quite unbelievable. While beach volleyball does not afford you the opportunity for tons of different locales, we did see a nice jungle court somewhere in the mix.
As for the legendary "breast physics engine," rest assured that it's alive and well. There was scarcely a shot in the trailer that didn't employ it at least subtly, much to the delight of the mostly male crowd.
Yes, DOAXBV is decidedly a crowd pleaser. We know this, so we'll keep bringing you all of the coverage you desire. Believe us... we want to. Keep checking back for more Beach Volleyball updates.

If the festive season has taken its toll on your skin, the chances are you're not alone.
After all, too much partying and not enough sleep can leave tell-tale signs all over your face.
But don't despair; there are plenty of ways to rescue your exhausted complexion.
Rest and reboot:
After burning the candle at both ends, one of the best ways to get your complexion back on track is to ensure you get your beauty sleep.
After the holidays are over, get back into a solid sleep schedule and make an effort to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Well rested skin is bright and healthy looking. Tired skin is dull and lacklustre.
Quench and rehydrate:
If you've been knocking back the mulled wine, it's time to turn your attention back to water. The more dehydrated you are, the worse your skin and hair will look, so get glugging that water. Hydrated skin is supple, rather than pale and tight.
Pamper and perfect:
Often with a hangover you can feel a little flushed in the morning. Stop yourself from overheating with a skin boosting tonic, such as Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic which combines essential oils like rosewood and lavender with calming botanicals, aloe vera and cucumber for the perfect skin refresher. Add a drop of The Body Shop Vitamin C Skin Reviver to smooth skin and even out any fine lines.
If all else fails, cover up any unwanted dark circles with an airbrush concealer to give you a beautifully blurred complexion. Clinique Airbrush Concealer has a titanium dioxide formula which banishes redness, dark circles and shadows.

Since everyone's been posting pictures of their favorite homemade woodworking tool, I thought I'd join the gang with some pictures of mine.
For the past ten years, my woodworking projects have involved the layering, routing, and finishing of small parts. My unlikely tool-of-choice for all of these tasks has been the low-tech 10d bright finish nail. Because its diameter is just slightly less than 1/8", I use them for glue-up alignment through 1/8" registration holes.
For finishing, I use short sections of nails, with wooden beads, to elevate the workpiece.
And when I do some router work, they firmly position the workpiece below an acrylic guard.
I've been told that they're also useful for finish carpentry. Never thought of that. :)

Bob—I debated as to whether this should be project or a blog, but inserting nails through wooden beads made it a "finished project made of wood" in my book. Not as fancy as a wooden hand plane, but hey. :)

John, so many uses for the nails, I too use them to support drying projects. Pic three really solved a mystery for me, thanks for posting. As for using nails to hold wood together, won't they bend if you hit them with a hammer? Just guessing! Also if your on double secret probation, is a wooden toga party next? Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the comment, Jeff. As for bending nails, I never drive them into the layers of wood. I just SLIDE them into pre-bored alignment holes until the glue has set up. I leave them in place for only a few minutes so they don't become a permanent part of the assembly.
Just trying to imagine a wooden toga. I'll work on that. :)

He (mostly) seems nice online: should I meet him in person?
I'm 13 and I really need some help. I have been talking to this guy for ages on my phone and texting him. We have Skyped, and I know he might be 'one of those older people who have random children acting for them and they have voice filters' etc, but he has Facebook and I know loads of people who know him, but I just haven't met him. He is really nice and we both wanna meet each other......
Crowdsourcing: Breakup Blues Busters
Scarleteen By the Numbers: What You Said
How (and why) to Root for Team Awkward
I am 15 years old and I have only made out once. I do not know the person I made out with, and I don't exactly remember what it was like. I want to make out with more people, but I am afraid I will not be good at it, I also don't want to embarrass myself with the person I do make out with. Another thing is, what if the person I do make out with tries to do more with me than I am ready?...
I'm 14 and sure my boyfriend wants sex: but is now the right time?
Hi I am 14 years old and me and my boyfriend have been dating for 2 months on the 20th... we're mostly all teenagers here and young adults and can tell that guys want more than just make-outs, hugs and kisses they want sex... I wouldn't have a problem having sex with him....
How do I tell my Mom I might be pregnant?
My partner and I have been together for about 6 months now. He's 17 and I'm 16. We have unprotected sex sometimes, and I think I might have gotten pregnant. I won't be able to tell until next week, but I'm kind of crampy and bloated already. I don't know if those signs are too early to be pregnancy symptoms or not, but I have no clue how to tell my mom I am pregnant if I am....
I'm trapped in an unhealthy relationship and don't know what to do.
I am 17 now, and started dating this one fellow when I was fifteen. At the time he was 44. Of course, now he's 46, but that's not really the point. He's divorced and has two kids, one son 2 years younger than me, and a daughter the age of my own younger sister (12). I look after them for him sometimes. I feel like I really love him, but I don't really feel the same way about him....
This is What a SlutWalk (Really) Looks Like
Today I want to briefly address the way that the walks have been visually represented in the media and by many bloggers writing about them, especially those who have been nonsupportive or critical.
In a word, they have frequently been represented by photographs which expressly stated or just implied they represent what people at the walks looked like as a whole, and have been anywhere from just incorrect to exceptionally dishonest in those assertions or implications. Because as far as I can tell, the images that keep getting picked aren't those which are most representative of the protests as a whole, but which are most representative of what a given person either found most provocative or most interesting. Or, which best represent their reasons for nonsupport or mockery.

Bounty Hunter and (former) Captain of "Freedom's Flight"
Black is tall, handsome, sports a dazzling smile, and seems open and trustworthy. He wears a leather cowboy hat with a blue jewel in the band and a long brown duster to curry favor with the locals.
He also uses the alias "Shing Xiao".
Xi Wang Black has always been a bit of a daredevil and constantly skirts the edge. He's an adrenaline junky who lives for risk and thinks he's immortal. Despite this he has the brains and discipline to plan and execute slow, subtle stratagems. What he lacks is any shred of conscience.
Black and his crew were hired by Jared Rejovic to incriminate Mercedes Wingate in her dealings with the terrorist Jonathan Crane. Black planned to use the Far Yukon information that Mercedes was willing to sell in order to kidnap her father and sell him to Rejovic for even more cash. His and Rejovic's plans were thwarted by the crew of Acorn (see Perdition).
Black now serves a prison sentence for his roles in the kidnapping and torture of Mercedes Wingate and the kidnapping of Elias Wingate.

On Sunday May 28, Louis J Muro was awarded the Colombo Service Award by St. Patrick Knights of Columbus Council 10567.
The Colombo Award was created in 1995 by the council to recognize a St. Patrick parishioner for many years of dedicated service to the church, the diocese and the community. The award is named in honor of Lou Colombo, one of the founding fathers of Council 10567.
Past award recipients include Catherine Barrett, Benny Bakane, Ronnie Muro, Alice Slatsky, Jane Kiinstler, Phil Slovensky, Larry & Monica Crocker, Donnie Schober and Anthony Brooklere.
Louis Muro has been involved in ministry at St. Patrick for over twenty years. He and his wife, Brenda, served as Renew small group leaders and also as Ministers of Holy Communion. In the early days of SPIRIT, Louis and Brenda took over the Junior High youth group and were part of the Adult team in the formative years. Louis' commitment to youth continued as he became part of the Religious Ed program, including teaching the Confirmation class.
Outside the church Louis was renowned for his intensity as an outstanding coach, first with boy's baseball, then switching to girl's softball after God blessed him with three lovely daughters. That same intensity is displayed daily in his job at United Health Care where he works as a technical writer. Louis is involved in several professional organizations and has been a leader in those organizations..
Louis served three years on the Pastoral Council and has been involved in many, many activities at St. Patrick through the years. Recently he was a driving force in the development of our parish web site, most significantly the Knights of Columbus section, which is outstanding.
He has been a perennial Springfest volunteer as a booth head, set up helper, and committee member. His most notable achievement is the outstanding job as Publicity chairperson in recent years. A great deal of the credit for our recent increase in attendance is due to the efforts of Louis' publicity team. He was also part of the original Springfest Advisory team that, since its inception, has produced the most successful 3 year run in the event's history.
Louis was a charter member of Council 10567 and served as Trustee and in a variety of capacities including chairing the Tootsie Roll Drive (Campaign for People with Intellectual Disabilities) and the Free Throw Competition. Three years ago he was elected Deputy Grand Knight and in June completes an outstanding two year term as Grand Knight. Under his leadership the council has flourished and achieved the greatness once envisioned by the council's founder, Louis N. Muro, the honoree's father.
During Louis' tenure the number of programs and projects taken on by the council has been staggering. Included in that list are the highly successful Dinner Dance; major contributor to the parish website; helping organize and lead the first ever Men's Retreat; ensuring that programs such as the Lenten Service Day, Wedding Vows Renewal, Knight's widows, Scholarship program and many others have continued.
Attendance at meetings is at an all-time high and the council has outgrown its meeting room. The Knights have become the backbone of the parish in supporting our pastor and our church under the leadership and inspiration of Louis J. Muro.
Louis and his wife, Brenda, have been married for over 30 years. They have 3 daughters: Jennifer Baker and her husband Brandon, their children Blake and Abby; Stephanie Allen and her husband Shawn (a former Jr High youth group member), their daughter Mary Beth; and Kathryn.
The Council proudly selected one of its own to honor with the Colombo Award this year. Louis Muro is truly deserving of this high honor..

StemGenex Supports Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness DayFebruary 2, 2017
LA JOLLA, Calif. – Feb. 2, 2017 – Today marks the annual Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Day, which was created to improve the nation's understanding of Rheumatoid Arthritis ("RA") so that those suffering with the disease can get information on the best care and treatments available. Rheumatoid Arthritis is caused by the immune system attacking the lining of the joints, causing great pain and inflammation for people living with it. According to the Rheumatoid Patient Foundation, one third of RA patients do not respond to the traditional standard of care medications. There is no cure for RA, but StemGenex Medical Group is proud to be advocating for patients with unmet clinical needs and providing new hope for optimum health and better quality of life through arthritis stem cell therapy.
"I have lived with Rheumatoid Arthritis for nearly 35 years and this day serves as an important reminder of the challenges people living with RA face every day," says Rita Alexander, Chief Administrative Officer of StemGenex Medical Group. "Their strength and determination are what motivates us as a company to help those suffering with the disease better understand available treatment options and empower them to take control of their personal health."
In December 2016, the 21st Century Cures Act, a landmark piece of healthcare legislation was signed into law after receiving overwhelming bipartisan support. The law is designed to accelerate the availability of new medical treatments to patients suffering with debilitating diseases by speeding up the Federal Drug Administration's ("FDA") approval processes. The act aims to inspire innovation and discovery in medicine by improving patient access to safe and efficacious treatments, such as stem cell therapies.
"This groundbreaking legislation provides those suffering with incurable diseases, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis to have more treatment options when their clinical needs remain unmet with standard medicines and treatments, says Rita Alexander. "We are proud to support this progressive healthcare movement and provide awareness, which is crucial to patients living with diseases for which there are currently limited treatments options available."
About StemGenex Medical Group
StemGenex Medical Group is committed to helping people achieve optimum health and better quality of life through the healing benefits of their own stem cells. StemGenex provides access to stem cell therapy options for individuals suffering with inflammatory and degenerative illnesses. Committed to the science and innovation of stem cell treatment, StemGenex sponsors five clinical outcome studies registered with the National Institutes of Health ("NIH") for Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ("COPD") and Osteoarthritis. These have been established to formally document and evaluate the quality of life changes in individuals following adipose-derived stem cell treatment.

No Outrage From Americans For Handball and Poor OfficiatingJune 21, 2010
This is not intended as an indictment of Americans, but as a demonstration of my point, which is, that we are often or usually motivated by things that serve our self-interest. Of course, this is human nature, pure and simple.
A couple of days ago, the whole of America was enraged at what they perceived an unjust robbery of a legitimate goal by Maurice Edu, which the since-embattled referee Koman Coulibaly disallowed, apparently because of the tug-of-war taking place in the Slovenian's penalty area as Landon Donovan launched a free kick into the area.
I reacted on my part to the language ESPN commentators used to describe Coulibaly's officiating early in the game. I thought the language was inappropriate. My point was not to defend bad officiating but to say that commentators owe it to their listeners to show restrain and use polite language in so far as it involves a public context. Decorum demands it, at least.
In a follow up piece, I observed that the disallowed goal might be a good thing, as it may prompt FIFA to reconsider its stance on video replays. With her media clout and influence, I suggested that the USA might be the factor that finally turns the tide in favor of such playbacks.
The need for this available technology in soccer matches became more obvious today because of incidents that occurred in the match between Brazil and Cote d'Ivoire.
First an in-form Luis Fabiano scored a goal that should never stand, and should never have stood. He committed two obvious fouls in the lead up to the goal, handling the ball twice. It was a replay of Thierry Henry's blatant handball that Swedish referee Martin Hansson or his assistant inexplicably missed.
If Hansson could claimed that the angle of play made it difficult for him to see Henry's handball, French referee (oh, the irony of it!), Stephane Lannoy, has no ground for such an excuse. Two handballs in the space of seconds are hard to miss.
One may argue that the Ivorian players, themselves, didn't protest the handball and thus it is feasible to think that the handballs were actually not apparent. I would counter by saying that this is shaky reasoning since the Ivorian defenders were so engaged and engrossed in a frantic effort to win back the ball from Fabiano to be able to see properly what was happening.
What is more surprising and hard to fathom is that immediately after the goal, Fabiano and Lannoy were shown consulting together, with the referee touching his shoulder and then his chest and Fabiano shaking his head and both grinning afterward. Interpretation? Lannoy saw it. And how could the lineman have missed both handballs?
There is no arguing this situation away by saying that Brazil would have won the match anyway. Of course, but they would have won by a goal margin. Remember, goal difference counts in this competition.
This could be the factor that hinders Cote d'Ivoire from progressing to the second round, depending on the match between Portugal and Brazil and on the outcome of the match between both Portugal and Cote d'Ivoire and North Korea.
To say it bluntly, Lannoy's officiating was simply bad. Funny thing is, nobody called his decisions stupid, and as far as I can tell, nobody is calling for his head. Is this because Cote d'Ivoire does not matter? Or is it because Cote d' Ivoire has no command of the world through an influential media?
Thierry Henry's infamous handball that rob Ireland a place in the World Cup, Maurice Edu's disallowed goal that may yet affect the USA in the competition, Fabiano's illegal goal that may stop Cote d' Ivoire from advancing to the second round, are all instances of poor officiating and injustice. And to allow such situations to continue in international soccer, where a stage is afforded for peaceful interaction of people and nations, is nothing but a mockery of common sense.
FIFA must do better than hide behind a lame excuse, which in essence means they don't care. Perhaps, what this lack of attention means is that this is a deliberate loophole to ensure that influential nations continue to win at international tournaments.
Who knows, it may be that the winner of this World Cup has already been decided behind closed doors. Remember David Triesman's bribery insinuation before the World Cup?
A point that may be deduce from this, is that outrages against such blatant bad officiating as this should not only be limited to instances where self-interests are involved. I would like to hear a similar outcry against Fabiano's illegal goal as that against the USA's disallowed goal.
I am sure that the most we will hear about the match in question is Kaka's red card. I'd not be surprise since this is a favored nation and everyone will be up in arms to protect its honor.
If we do so, we should remember that the Brazilian began the fake dives and writhing on the ground. They were only repaid in kind. Which is not to say that I approve of such a behavior anymore than I approve of Dungan's irresponsible reaction at the sideline, which encouraged and fueled the eventual situation.
In fact, the red card situation only reinforces the point I'm making. Had the referee the benefit of technological hindsight, the second yellow card to Kaka would never had been shown, since Kaka clearly did not strike the face of the Ivorian player, who conned the referee by clutching his face and pretending to be in agony.
On a different note, though I commend the restrained tone of ESPN commentators of this match, I'd have like to hear a strong condemnation of the illegal way Fabiano scored his second goal instead of the tepid way they commented on the two handballs.
Their studio analysts, afterward, did not even mention it. All that seemed to interest them was Kaka's red card and the end of Fabiano's goal drought, no matter that one of those goal was illegal.
When I wrote my opinion article on Coulibaly, some respondents to my article told me in essence that a spade should be called a spade. I'd love to hear it called in this case as well.

I'm super excited to share this interview as Genese Davis' book sounds awesome! I'm not a gamer myself but can get uber excited about chicks kicking butt of course and a book with strong female characters is always a read to look forward to. My thanks to Genese for being on and allowing me to share about herself and The Holder's Dominion.
Guided by Elliott and his friends, Kaylie signs on to the massively popular online game Edannair. There she discovers a world of beautiful vistas and magical creatures, where people from all over the globe step into the roles of warriors on fantastical quests. But a real-world evil threatens the players: the mysterious Holder, leader of the elite team known as Sarkmarr, is coercing his followers into traumatic offline dares known as "morphis assignments." To save her friends, Kaylie must infiltrate Sarkmarr and survive the Holder's tests.
Will she find the courage there to hold her real-world family together?
Please tell me about yourself –
I grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico where my interest for equestrianism and flying glider planes blossomed. College whisked me away into fashion and finance before my writing career began. It was in Austin Texas where I completed my bachelor's degree in English—go Longhorns!
However, I ventured into the world of MMO gaming as an adult and discovered a passion for in-game community, especially in raiding teams. Working with industry professionals, I gained a deep understanding of video games and their artists, lore, culture, and development, and experienced more serious gaming while playing with competitive guilds in Final Fantasy XI and World of Warcraft. I didn't grow up in or around the video game industry, or around video game players, so I know how it feels to wonder why our friends, family, and loved ones seem "glued" to their electronics. And that's part of the reason I'm so passionate to share all that I've discovered in the video game industry. It is not simply a set of pixels your children, spouses, or friends are staring at when they play games. It's actually a whole spectrum of invention, discovery, and ingenuity. Players are discovering artwork, storylines, history, skill sets, challenges, and collaboration of individuals on a planetary scale.
What is something about you that no one knows? –
Two of my deepest fears are swimming in the ocean and drowning. And I don't tell anyone about it because I can barely admit it to myself. The beach is one of my most beloved places, but as soon as I dip my toes in the water, I'm terrified. I'll put on a smile though and suit up in an imaginary coat of armor and force myself to play in the ocean. And maybe, just maybe, I'll force myself to even boogie board or surf one day.
Equestrian, gamer, pilot, author have you done it all or do you still have must do items, if so what are they? –
There's always more "must do" items, for sure! I'd like to open a pet rescue center. My hand goes up anytime someone asks about pet-care or animal rescue. I've had pets all my life and I believe that animals are more than just residents in our home—they are family. Other goals include expanding TheGamerInYou.com community. This movement was created to represent all people who like any kind of game, and for the word "gamer" to be a universally positive term for everyone. I believe that gaming can encourage ingenuity and healthy social connections.
What are you reading now? –
The City & The City by China Mieville
Some favorite books and authors –
From the classics I'd have to say, Oscar Wilde and Emily Bronte. And from more modern writers, I'd have to say Jean M. Auel, Juliet Marillier, and China Mieville are very inspiring.
Was your own gaming experience the inspiration for The Holder's Dominion? –
Yes, absolutely. Like Kaylie, (the protagonist in The Holder's Dominion) I came to gaming pretty late in life. Since learning the industry and experiencing the benefits of video games, I've been on a mission to write for gamers and non-gamers alike about the unpredictable and influential ways that video games change us. The inspiration behind writing it came from wanting to create a basis for family and friends of gamers to understand them and their world. I imagine we all have relatives who wonder, "Are video games a waste of time?" "Why does my spouse play video games into the night?" A parent might ask, "Why does my child want to play a video game instead of go outside and play?" The Holder's Dominion reveals online gaming in an easy-to-follow and riveting setting that marries pre video game generations to current video game enthusiasts. This book is also a message of hope and support for anyone going through grief or who have been separated from their family.
Who designed the cover for The Holder's Dominion, does is look the way you had envisioned? –
I absolutely love this cover. The incredibly talented artist, Fabio Barretta Zungrone, designed the cover art. He is a world-renowned painter from Italy, who has created highly detailed, award-wining artwork. Zungrone imparts his passion and dedication into every aspect of his art, and he constantly strives to discover new methods with innovative tools. I had very little to do with The Holder's Dominion cover art design. My publisher wanted a video game artist veteran and Zungrone's concepts and designs flew off the page. He brought out Kaylie's personal struggle by painting her between two worlds while still incorporating the omnipresence of the Holder. He is truly gifted—a great talent of our time.
What future works do we have to look forward to from you? –
An array of exciting projects have opened for me: screenplays for a webseries at www.YouTube.com/AuthorGeneseDavis, along with my second novel, and new media for www.TheGamerInYou.com are all in production as we speak!
Thank you so much for having me. It'd be my pleasure to connect with you guys! Find me at www.GeneseDavis.com and we can connect on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, too! I'd love to hear from you. After all, we're only a message away. Talk soon.
Sincerely, Genese Davis
The Holder's Dominion can be purchased in paperback or e-book at www.BeaversPondBooks.com, and also through distributors like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the iBookstore. Check out the novel at www.TheHoldersDominion.com
Genese Davis is an American author and video game promoter. Her novel, The Holder's Dominion, will debut on March 1st, 2013.
Genese Davis grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico. At age twelve she got her first job at a dressage equestrian center, where she cleaned stalls and water tanks and exercised clients' horses. She soon fell in love with the art of dressage and show jumping. Davis saved up five hundred dollars and purchased a rambunctious Norwegian Fjord that no one dared ride but her. After months of training she began competing throughout the state and, against all odds, the pair won many first-place ribbons and trophies in the horse trials competition called Eventing. Davis used her knowledge and experience to teach others and became a riding instructor at seventeen.
In addition to horses, piloting aircraft became another of her early passions. Davis says that flying is in her blood (her father and grandfather flew aircraft), and she studied voraciously at a summer aircraft program, learning aeronautics at a rapid rate. She won the highest honor attainable in the program by being the first to solo and obtained her student pilot's license at fourteen.
Davis has a B.A. in English from the University of Texas at Austin, with minors in theatre and Spanish. Her favorite college highlights include studying abroad in Costa Rica for university business credit, performing in plays, and studying playwriting. After graduating, Davis worked as a financial institution manager before becoming an author and video game promoter. She never expected to become an avid video game enthusiast. She ventured into the world of MMO gaming as an adult and discovered a passion for in-game community, especially in raiding teams. Working with industry professionals, she gained a deep understanding of video games and their artists, lore, culture, and development. She experienced more serious gaming while playing with competitive guilds in Final Fantasy XI and World of Warcraft and cracked the top 100 in the world for her class in the latter. Davis received the Server-first Legendary Achievement in September 2011—an extremely prestigious gaming award. She has experience co-founding new raids, leading raids as an officer who organized and developed strategies for fights, and working as a liaison between new players and raid leaders. This experience naturally led her to create the Dark Iron Raiding Alumni, a group that gives players from all over the world an exciting way to stay connected whether they are past, present, or future gamers. That gaming experience laid the foundation for her first novel, The Holder's Dominion, which hits shelves on March 1st.
Davis is also the owner of The Gamer in You, an online movement offering new meaning to the word 'gamer.' As an avid supporter of artists and their craft, Davis has a keen affection for all types of artistry, especially theatre, filmmaking, music, photography, and art-gallery openings. She lives in Irvine, California, where she advocates for her other passion, animal rescue, and writes for independent film. Her motto is Lark your life!

Fifteen people sit on the Los Angeles City Council. It's possible that in a few months, only one will be a woman. In a few years, there could be none.
If City Councilwoman Janice Hahn wins a July runoff election for a South Bay congressional seat, Jan Perry will be the council's lone female. And Perry must surrender her seat in 2013 because of term limits.
Eleven years ago, a third of the desks lining the council chamber's ornate horseshoe were filled by women. The steady decline reflects a broader trend across the nation, where the proportion of women officeholders has been flat-lining or slipping.
The number of women sworn in to Congress this year fell for the first time in 30 years, leaving women with just 16% of congressional seats.

People who have chronic pain, physical injuries, or disabilities sometimes just endure their situation and no longer seek professional help either because they do not have the funds for it or they are already settled with the fact that they will no longer recover from their condition. However, there are now many options to help people deal with physical pain and disabilities. In Dubai, this comes in the form of physiotherapy clinics in the city.
Physiotherapy: What Is It?
In physiotherapy, qualified and experienced doctors diagnose and treat various physical conditions such as chronic pain, muscle and joint injuries, and other related disabilities with the use of natural methods. This means far from heavy prescription drugs and costly surgeries.
The physical therapy involves manual manipulation of muscles and joints, precise exercises, and proper diet and nutrition for the patients. All of the treatments and programs are also supervised by a professional and experienced physical therapist. He or she will ensure that the patient does the exercises properly so as to avoid further injury and going over or beyond his or her capabilities.
Why Go to a Physiotherapy Clinic?
Today, you can easily book an appointment at a Dubai physiotherapy clinic, but before you do, here are some insights on the advantages of going to one.
- Professional Help
Of course you can do exercises on your own and not have to worry about fees or exerting the time and effort in going to a physiotherapy clinic. However, doing exercises on your own, especially if you already have an injury or sore back, or painful muscles, might actually do you more harm than good.
When you go to a physiotherapy clinic, you get trained sports doctors, physical therapists, nurses, and medical technicians to assist you in your rehabilitation program. You won't need to wonder or guess which exercise to do next or if you are even executing it properly. Your therapists and doctors will be there to supervise your training or physical therapy and therefore help you get on the road to recovery faster compared to just doing it on your own.
- Specialized Training
Physiotherapy clinics are not just for people who have injuries already. Most Dubai physiotherapy clinics offer specialized programs for people who also want to avoid injuries and make their bodies stronger. These are often under preventive programs and include strength training, endurance, and cardiovascular training.
In these types of body conditioning programs, an individual can get a personalized training based on his or her activity and goals. For example, if you are a marathoner, then you can get trainings to help you strengthen your legs and build endurance for that competition.
- Modern Equipment
Another thing that you cannot get from doing exercises on your own is the modern facilities and equipment available at a Dubai physiotherapy clinic. The reason is that clinics are able to invest the money needed to buy quality rehabilitation equipment and these are all being operated by trained staff so you know that you are getting the best service while doing your program.

Hostile work environment?
Because I'd like to think that this matters, I would prefer not to have guns on the campus where I work. I imagine that I'm not the only one who would prefer it if students couldn't carry handguns into their classrooms. Story here.
On this issue. That's Texas' Governor Rick Perry, in case you didn't know. I'd like to think that he wouldn't have so easily won reelection if he hadn't found a way to conceal the fact that the state is running a deficit of about 25 billion dollars until a day or two after the election. My guess is that if you asked academics whether they'd choose a campus that didn't allow guns over a campus that did allow guns if all other factors were held equal, a significant number of us would choose the campus that didn't allow guns. I know this is a controversial assumption, but I think creating a work environment that frightens faculty is a con. What are the pros of this proposal? I keep reading comments about how concealed fire arms deter crime. That might be. I, like the opposition, probably have no real evidence one way or the other. What I thought was that there wasn't a serious problem with crime on campus, in which case I would have thought that the argument simply didn't apply. The dorms are locked down and campus security is doing their job. Of course, the next "argument" you'll hear will make reference to specific incidents where having armed students would have led to better outcomes. The incident in Tuscon is a strange example since people are allowed to carry firearms there and that didn't seem to alter the turn of events there in any way at all. The recent shooting on UT seems to have involved a disturbed student interested in taking his own life. Students carrying handguns trying to squeeze off shots when they saw the shooter would have made the situation much much worse. Of course, there's the Virginia Tech case to consider. Would things have been different if students were allowed to carry guns? I don't know. That depends, of course, on whether other students would be carrying on that morning, how handy they were with a firearm, etc... We'd also have to factor in that if students were allowed to carry, the discovery that the shooter had firearms wouldn't have allowed the authorities to intervene (assuming, that is, that the shooter registered his firearms and I can't think of any reason to think that the shooter wouldn't have done that if it was an option). Once we factor in the increased odds that students who are abusing drugs and alcohol and dealing with serious emotional and psychological issues are given access to firearms in the dorms, I don't see yet how to construct a credible argument that increased firearms would make students safer.
On another issue. Yes, anonymous, I get that you think I'm a %#!&. You'll probably think that for a while. You don't need to keep posting that. I'll just take it as read that you still think that tomorrow and the days after that. It's not as if I'm going to publish your comment. You can take a break now.

Senate Democrats must filibuster Neil Gorsuch's nomination to the Supreme Court. Here's why: First, it's a stolen seat—Republicans kept it open for over a year without even holding hearings on Obama's nominee. Second, letting a president whose legitimacy is in question take it without a fight would validate the GOP's disdain for the norms have made our government functional. Third, the Democratic base is demanding it.
But most importantly, Democrats should block Gorsuch because they have nothing to lose but an undemocratic remnant of a bygone era known as the filibuster. And while the filibuster protects the minority, in the long run, it's more likely to benefit Republicans than Democrats.
The hazard in blocking Gorsuch is that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vowed that he would kill the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees if Democrats go that route. He may or may not have the votes, but Democrats should call his bluff because making the Senate more democratic isn't a bad thing.
Most people believe the filibuster was intended by the founders to slow the upper body's deliberative process and give the minority more rights than it enjoys in the House. The classic formulation is that the House is supposed to be the legislature's gas pedal, and the Senate is its brakes.
But Georgetown political scientist Sarah Binder says that none of that is true. Senators do enjoy longer terms than members of the House in part to insulate them from public passions, but the filibuster was born of an error—it was an unintended consequence of an 1805 effort by then–Vice President Aaron Burr, freshly indicted for killing Alexander Hamilton in a duel, to streamline the body's rules. (It's somewhat ironic given that the "reform" resulted in a legislative body that's often unable to legislate.) And although that rule change made filibusters possible, the Senate mostly operated according to majority rule through the first half of the 19th century.
Since then, a number of attempts to get rid of the filibuster have gone nowhere. According to Binder, "Senate leaders tried and failed repeatedly over the course of the 19th and early 20th centuries" to reinstate majority rule, but "gave up their quest for reform when they saw that opponents would kill it by filibuster—putting the majority's other priorities at risk."
But in a rare bout of reform in 1917, the Senate finally enacted cloture, which allows a super-majority to cut off debate and end a filibuster—the origin of what's often described as today's "60-vote threshold." (This means that lawmakers need not actually hold the floor reading from the phone book to filibuster like they do in the movies.) But it only became routine for legislation to require 60 votes in recent years. As the graphic from Talking Points Memo below shows, prior to the 1970s, filibusters were very rare—they typically numbered in the single digits in each Congress. Over the next three decades, their use increased, but they were still rare enough for the body to function. It was only in recent years that they've become routine, and made the "world's greatest deliberative body" largely dysfunctional.

What To Do If You Trim Your Pup's Nails A Little Too Short
The ASPCA notes that nail trimming is an important part of a regular grooming routine. If your dog's nails get too long, they can break, which is painful and sometimes results in infection.
If you're anything like me, you won't trust anyone else with your dog, including a groomer. I have two dogs, Henry & Penny, and they are total opposites when it comes to a nail trim. Henry will be on my lap sitting straight up while I clip clip clip. Penny, on the other hand, will scream like a demon if you go near her with nail clippers…until I discovered the power of peanut butter on a spoon!
For a good reference, when you cut your dog's nail too short, you will hit the "quick" aka where the blood supply is. Here is what it looks like:
The other night, I cut Henry's nail too short and it started bleeding…a lot. It was 8:30pm on a Sunday night and he was ready for bed. Luckily, he didn't cry or even wince (I wish I could say the same thing about me). His nail would not stop bleeding. I had to frantically Google about 15 pages until I finally found a solution to stop the bleeding. I compiled them together for you to make it convenient.
Corn Starch + Water Mix
I have used this before (ok, maybe a few times) and it works like a charm. Websites like VetInfo instruct you to make the paste (mix the corn starch and water together) and use a Q-tip in order to apply to the nail. Don't wipe the blood away, the paste will help it coagulate and heal the blood vessel. Leave the paste on the nail for a few minutes and add another layer if you need to. (*Hint: if you don't have corn starch, flour and baking soda are also effective in making a paste)
Styptic Powder/Pen
Styptic powders and pencils are specially formulated for pets. eHow mentions they contain silver nitrate, which is the most effective product for dog toenail bleeds. Apply styptic powder to the area by inserting the toenail into the powder, and pressing a paper towel on the nail to apply pressure. Use a styptic pencil by wetting the tip and rolling it against the bleeding nail. Each of these methods causes a sting to your pet, so you may want to try a more natural remedy first. You may need to reapply to stop the bleeding.
Bar of Soap
Make sure it's a mild formula as it will also help disinfect. You may want to lightly wet the soap and push your dog's bleeding nail firmly into the bar and hold it there for about 5 minutes. If the soap is thinner, you can try and push it all the way through at the end so the soap will stick to the nail and help coagulate the blood. If the soap falls off the nail, try it again and it should work.
Potassium Permanganate
According to WikiHow, potassium permanganate is a powder made up of bright purple crystals and is the preferred method of veterinarians to stop bleeding nails. It also serves as a disinfectant and can be found in online retail stores. You will need the potassium permanganate crystals, water and a Q-tip or cotton swab. Moisten the tip of the cotton in water so the crystals will stick to it. Press the swab onto the quick and hold for 30 seconds. When you remove the cotton, the quick should stop bleeding.
Most coagulant failures are caused by being too shy about pressing the stuff into the blood. You can't just sprinkle the stuff on like fairy dust; you need to hold and press it on so it absorbs the blood at the end of the quick and helps it clot. – St. James Animal Hospital
It is important to always remember to stay calm. Dogs can read your emotions, so if you're freaking out, there's a good chance they will too. Sometimes it can look like a real mess, but they don't lose too much blood.
Make sure that your pup doesn't put any pressure on their paw for at least 30 minutes after and bandage it up to keep it clean and prevent further injury or infection.
If after 30 minutes, you can't get your dog's nail to stop bleeding, you will want to consult your vet or take them in for a visit. It might take a bit for your dog to forgive you, as he may be a bit scared of the nail trimmers. Give them treats and praise them for being good. If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, you can also take them to your vet's office to have it done professionally.

Even though the dessert table had to be minimized because of
weather issues, as you can see it was huge in presentation.
This was one of my contributions to the super chic party, a DIY

Holy moly tissue paper piñata! Complete with a pull down wall.
No blindfolds and baseball bat required!
As you all can see, every decoration for the party were all handmade. With careful pinning, time management (we were already talking about it in January), and budgeting my dear friend was able to pull off another wonderful party for her daughter that the children and adults enjoyed. Of course the birthday girl was all smiles that day!

Elk Grove Gymanstics
Picture from L to R- Jenna Keith, 10, Norridge; Kayah Mendocha, 10, Lake Zurich; Kaiya Koyanagi, 10, Mt Prospect; Meghan Smith, 8, Mt Prospect; Emily Stewart, 8, Franklin Park; Caroline Mogielnicki, 9, Mt Prospect; Maggie Pappanicholas, 8, Mt Prospect; Francesca LoRusso, 10, Norridge
Elk Grove Gymnastics School is proud of their Level 3 Girls Team. These girls, ages 8-10 trained 9 hours per week with Coach Sue Behrmann and competed in 7 USAG meets before reaching their goal of competing at the State Meet in St. Charles on March 7-9.
All girls exceeded the 33.0 points (out of possible 40) required to qualify for State Competition. At the State meet- held at the DuPage Expo Center, all scored above 35 points with a team all around average of 36.353.
Highlights of the season were "Too many to mention," per Coach Behrmann. "The girls had a great season and exceeded all of their personal goals!" Kayah Mendocha was proud to achieve 9s on all events at the Elk Grove Pajama Invite in February, and Meghan Smith had a personal best vault (9.4) earning her a second place finish at the same meet. Francesca LoRusso had a first place finish on vault at the Santa's Workshop meet in December. Many of the girls were proudest of their accomplishments at the State Meet. For Kaiya Koyanagi this included a 4th place All-Around finish with a score of 37.550. Emily Stewart earned a 3rd place finish on floor with a 9.575. Caroline Mogielnicki achieved a personal best on floor during the State meet- finishing in 7th place with a 9.275. For Jenna Keith, a 9.05 on bars outshined all other accomplishments. Maggie Pappanicholas, who had the team's highest score of the season, winning 2nd on floor with a 9.7, sums it up best saying she's, "happy with the whole season. I love the whole team and Coach Sue."
The girls returned to the gym on March 10th- already working on the skills they'll need as Level 4 gymnasts when the competition season starts up again next fall.

Japan implemented a new feed-in tariff (FIT) system in July 2012. The FIT prices are re-estimated annually by the Ministry for Economy, Trade and Industry and METI's cost estimation committee held its 3rd meeting on Tuesday this week defining new purchasing prices for the 2013 fiscal year. While the price for wind power remains unchanged, the price paid for solar was cut by 10%. The committee recommended the tariff for wind projects to remain at ¥23.1 per kWh for 20 years.
The Japan Wind Power Association (JWPA) said it welcomed the proposal. "The current tariff is the minimum level necessary to develop wind projects in Japan," Tetsuro Nagata, president of JWPA, said. "If the tariff is to be kept at the same level, we welcome the decision. There remain major issues, such as grid connection and deregulation, but we want to further expand wind power, taking advantage of the tariff, to be held at the same level, for the second year."

No matter who you are, if you do something wrong you should have to suffer the consequences or make amends for whatever it is you have done wrong. Especially when it comes to people in high standing or those who posses a lot of power, they should be held accountable for their actions or at least explain to the people the reasons why you did what you did.
No, Sara Netanyahu should not be indicted. It is my opinion that she did not knowingly intend to defraud the Israeli government. Looking at the United States as an example, the expenses that are being questioned are expenses that American taxpayers have covered for our President for years. Unless it is expressly written in Israeli law that the expenses being question must be paid for using private funds, then she should not be indicted. In the long-run, even if they were paid for using private funds, it would still be coming from her husband's government paycheck, so I don't see a difference.
This isn't the first time Sara Netanyahu has been scrutinized for fraud or misuse of funds. If there is clear evidence that she misused public funds, she should face the consequences. As an "official" spouse, her behavior should be above reproach with public funds and she should not be able to essentially steal without facing some punishment.
To be honest, this kind of irregularities we are talking about sound to me more like legitimate mistakes rather than any attempts at fraud. The Netanyahu family has more than enough money to pay for all these things Sara Netanyahu is alleged of doing fraudulently and I just cannot see the woman being fraudulent over little things when the family has plenty to pay for it themselves. If we were talking about huge sums maybe it might be fraudulent but the kind of things we are talking about and the money involved it is nothing and nobody in their right mind would intentionally try to defraud the state for little things like that. I think it legitimately can sometimes be hard to know what is a personal expense and what is a state's expense and sometimes she got it wrong. Legally it might be fraudulent but as far as motive goes it is probably innocent.
