Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests
Dr. Wilson's laboratory focuses on the development of gene transfer vectors and their application in the treatment of a variety of acquired and inherited diseases. He has recently isolated new families of simian-based adenoviruses and adeno-associated viruses. Characterization of these new isolates has yielded important insights into basic virology. More importantly, recombinant versions of these viruses have shown to be useful as improved gene transfer vehicles to a variety of targets. These studies have included gene transfer to lung for the treatment of CF and to liver for the treatment of inherited dyslipidemias. Another major effort is the development of genetic vaccines against a number of biologic weapons and emerging infections such as Ebola virus and the SARS coronavirus.
Key words: adenovirus, adeno-associated virus (AAV), gene therapy, gene transfer, lentivirus.
Description of Research
Dr. Wilson is interested in the study of inherited diseases and the development of effective therapies. One theme is the evaluation of cell biology relevant to organs affected in inherited diseases such as the lung in cystic fibrosis, the muscle in inherited muscular dystrophies and the liver in inborne errors of metabolism. Dr. Wilson's group uses animal models to evaluate the regenerative capacity of these organs as well as the existence of stem cells. In characterizing cystic fibrosis, Dr. Wilson's laboratory helped identify a defect in the innate immune system of the lung which contributes to the chronic airway respiratory infections characteristic of this disease. Molecules are present in the airway surface fluid which contribute to host defense; these have been characterized as a prelude to evaluating how they are deranged in CF. Therapeutic interventions primarily emphasize the use of somatic gene transfer to correct inherited defects. A number of studies utilize vectors based on DNA viruses such as recombinant adenovirus and adeno-associated virus (AAV). Dr. Wilson's group has discovered a new family of AAVs in human and nonhuman primates and shown they undergo substantial recombination in vivo. They appear to be excellent gene transfer vectors. More recently, Dr. Wilson's group has exploited the biology of the lentiviral vector to achieve stable and long-term gene transfer in non-dividing cells.
Dr. Wilson's studies of immune responses to gene transfer vectors suggested the use of these constructs in eliciting immune responses in the setting of vaccines. The basic concept is to utilize a recombinant adenovirus to activate T and B cell responses to gene products derived from other human pathogens thereby providing protective immunity to these pathogens. The focus of this work is the development of vaccines against biologic weapons and emerging infections such as Ebola virus and SARS coronavirus. Dr. Wilson's group is directly involved in the study of these pathogens in specialized containment facilities at Penn and collaborating institutions.

Thank you for being awesome. I imagine you get that a lot. People are thankful for your help, and it can be hard not to gush.
A chronic gusher myself, I often wonder how my appreciation is being perceived by its recipients.
And so, if I may, I'd love to know your thoughts.
See, there's this publisher. I've been following him for about two years. I love his passion and personality. He has incredible ethics and works hard for his authors. We've been in contact multiple times for various reasons, and there is no doubt in my mind that he is the one I want to publish my work.
I want to tell him how strongly I feel, yet I'm afraid of coming across as creepy or phony.
How much praise is too much? Does sincere flattery get old for your kind of wonderful?
Normally I delete all the nice things people say to me in emails before I publish their questions here. That's not to say I don't appreciate their compliments, I DO. I delete it because I think it would make everyone feel they had to start their question with some sort of praise, and that would remove any shred of sincerity from it.
The more specific you can be about what someone has done that helped you, the easier it is for us to feel it's sincere and not just idle flattery.
"I love his passion and personality" is more adulation than anything else
"He works hard for for his authors" is much more specific.
If you were to say "I want you to publish my work because you work hard for your authors" that's something that feels genuine.
"I want you to publish my book because I love your passion and personality" ....that feels like sucking up.
Sincere thanks never gets old.
So, tell the publisher what he does that makes you want to query him, and leave the gushing for fan letters to Tiger Beat.

Wow - I didn't realise it was going to be that big! It's a gift for a young member of the family - I think he'll be thrilled as he's a tractor fanatic at 6 years old. A practical gift too. The towel has a smoother upper side so it'll be more comfortable to sit on at the beach. It seems to have a thick absorbent power so no usual skinny beach towel.
Since 1983 i use the computer for digital art.Sometimes I paint with oil or pastel crayons. The most of my digital images based on fractal compositions. But you can also find some digital paintings as well. I like to make some experiments , use different filters and materials. Discover something new by looking at these pictures. Feel the emotions that trigger them to you. Hope you have fun by visiting my gallery. Yours, Steve

This lovely tombstone for John Bebout and his mother Katherine is located at Pleasant Grove Cemetery, Crittenden County, Kentucky. There is just one thing wrong with the tombstone - the mother's name is likely incorrect. Most records list her name as Harriet or Harriet C. Bebout. It would be easy to assume the C. in Harriet's middle name stood for Catherine, making the name on the tombstone correct. However, in the will of her father, John E. Wilson, recorded in Crittenden County Will Book 1, page 46, she is listed as "Cassa Bebout wife of Peter Bebout." When her daughter, Harriet Ann Bebout, married James P. Sullenger in 1863, the wedding was at "Casander Bebout's."
Her full name might be Harriet Cassander or Harriet Cassa , but it surely was not Katherine. Harriet C. and her husband, Peter Bebout, were my 4th great grandparents. Harriet C. Wilson Bebout was born in 1824 and died in 1908. Peter Bebout was born in 1823 and died in 1862.

Course Content and Materials
What is the difference between online instructor-led and traditional classroom training?
Online instructor-led and classroom training courses have identical content, are taught live by MathWorks instructors, and occur at set times. The differences are where you take the class and delivery method of materials. The online option lets you take training anywhere, eliminating travel costs and utilizes electronic delivery of course materials. Classroom training takes place at a public training facility or at your facility, and enables attendees to interact face-to-face with other attendees and the instructor while providing course materials as a bound manual. Both online instructor-led and classroom training courses require one, two, or three full days' concentrated participation.
What is the difference between training at MathWorks and training at my company site?
Training courses at MathWorks are scheduled at fixed dates throughout the year, and are available to individuals and small groups. We provide the training facility and all the materials for attendees. MathWorks also offers customized training courses that can be taught at your own facility. This option is ideal for groups of 10 or more attendees who want to optimize their use of MathWorks products, for example, when they have a project deadline looming. MathWorks instructors often incorporate company-specific or industry-specific examples into onsite training.
How much math is required for MATLAB Fundamentals and Simulink for System and Algorithm Modeling?
For MATLAB Fundamentals, a basic understanding of linear algebra is helpful, as is knowledge of basic matrix operations. For Simulink for System and Algorithm Modeling, a basic understanding of ordinary differential equations is required to complete the exercises.
Do MathWorks classes teach programming logic or C/C++?
The relevant courses will teach you how to program using the MATLAB language constructs, work with Simulink models, develop Stateflow systems, and generate C/C++ code from MATLAB functions, Simulink models, and Stateflow charts. Although C/C++ is generated and can be used to interface with MATLAB applications and create C-Mex functions, the courses do not cover how to program in C/C++. Certain courses, including Embedded Coder for Production Code Generation, Integrating Code with Simulink, Testing Generated Code in Simulink, MATLAB to C with MATLAB Coder, and Interfacing MATLAB with C Code require some knowledge of C even though C will not be taught.
Will the instructors concentrate on requested topics during the course?
Whenever possible, we will focus on topics that are of particular interest to attendees. If the course is taught at your site, it may be possible to focus on particular subjects. Any request of this nature should be made well in advance of the course date. Please contact your account representative for more information or to make a request.
How fast is the pace of the course?
The pace depends on the average ability level of the attendees. The instructor will assess each attendee's learning style and abilities and adjust the curriculum accordingly. For courses at your facility, we recommend that you group attendees of similar experience together whenever possible. If you expect that a course will have attendees with different levels of experience, please discuss this with your instructor beforehand.
What materials and documentation does MathWorks provide with each course?
Each attendee receives bound copies of the course notes, a DVD containing all examples and exercises used in the course and, where applicable, quick-reference job aids.
Online Instructor-Led
Each attendee receives an electronic copy of the course notes along with access to all examples and exercises within the virtual environment.
Students have online access to hands-on examples and exercises for every chapter. Students can also email MathWorks course instructors any questions they may have about the training, and expect a response within 24-48 hours.
Can I bring in some examples for the instructor to review?
Yes. Usually, the instructors will not be able to look at the example during the course. The instructor may ask to bring it back to MathWorks and consult with our application staff. However, in some cases, attendees have brought in examples of significant interest to the other attendees, and these were used as course exercises. Any request of this nature should be made well in advance of the course date. Please contact your account representative for more information or to make a request.
Can we customize the training?
You can customize training at your own site only. To request customized training, complete the training request form.

Dog House Plans - Police Dog Houses
Happy New Years 2016 from Dog House Plans!
Police Dog Houses are dog houses made from K-9 Law Enforcement dog house plans and now these dog house plans are available to the general public in various sizes and models.
Dog houses made from our plans are in use by K-9 police professionals around the world. These are people who rely each day on durable quality housing for their valuable working dogs. We have been in business for 35 years and have built numerous dog houses. These police dog house plans are the final result of years of response to feedback from police K-9 handlers, veterinarians, and K-9 owners. That is why so many people have come to depend on these proven police dog house building plans. Now private owners too can benefit from our experience. Build the same police dog house for your pet using our dog house plans.
1 Dog/1 Door Deluxe Dog Houses
Dog House Plans - Trusted and Proven Dog Houses
Our police dog houses were designed in consultation with veterinarians and police K-9 handlers to meet the needs of a wide range of dogs and owners. Over the years, we have built dog houses with barn and peak style roofs. Building dog houses with these styles of roofs is an ideal place for wasps, hornets, and other types of insects or animals to congregate and build their nests. When using these styles of roofs, you will not have an inside wind wall which protects the K-9's in cold and windy weather, and their will also be a large amount of heat loss. It is also not designed with the handler in mind when it comes to cleaning.
2 Dog/2 Door Deluxe Dog Houses
Our police dog houses are presently in use throughout many different countries all over the world, such as Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, Europe, and across the United States. These dog houses has been proven suitable in any climate. These police dog houses can be adjusted to match the weather condition of where you are located. In areas where the summers are hot and humid, raise the hinged roof to let the warm air out and draw the fresh air in, while still providing your K-9's with a comfortable area of shade. This small task creates ample air flow for your K-9's and even though the roof is raised, this cannot be detected if you're looking at the dog house. The K-9's will still be able to get on top of the roof, when it is raised, without causing any harm to the structure.
Dog House Plans - Construction of the Police Dog Houses
A dog house has to be structurally sound to protect your K-9's. Our dog house plans have the houses slightly elevated off the ground, keeping the floor safe from moisture. The hinged roof opens and closes easily, so cleaning the inside is quick and simple. You can use paint or stain to protect the outside. The roof is slanted, so water drains away on rainy days, but is still flat enough, so that your K-9's can keep watch, or take a nap on top of the dog house, when the weather is suitable.
How Many Dogs Do You Have?
Our 2 dog and 3 dog house plans arose from the requirements of K-9 police handlers who needed more than one K-9 with different skills for different kinds of work, yet wanted to keep the dogs in one place. The 2 dog/1 door dog house, and the 3 dog/1 door dog house designs have the same removable wind wall as our 1 dog/1 door dog house.
"The most used police dog houses in the world"

Dog House Plans - "Buyer Beware List"
With our 35 years of experience and knowledge of dog houses we have compiled a list of things to for you to look at before you purchase any dog house plans. This list will help you decide where you should purchase your dog house plans. We call it our "Buyer Beware List" and hope this will give you some of the knowledge we have acquired over the years.
"I am so happy that you started to sell these dog house plans. I purchased the dog house plans and built the dog house. I am a police officer, not a carpenter, and I had no experience building. I followed the directions and the dog house came out beautiful, and now my K-9 partner loves his new dog house too." Thanks, Daniel from Florida , USA
Each set of dog house plans is $29.99 (US Currency) and includes shipping and handling.

FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Shigehiro Nakajima) is delighted to announce the X-Pro1 has been crowned "European Professional Compact System Camera 2012-2013" by judges at the esteemed European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) awards.
EISA judges were particularly impressed with the X-Pro1's outstanding image quality. Commenting on the award, the EISA jury said; "It is a combination of exceptional lens quality, great build and a revolutionary new sensor design that makes the Fujifilm X-Pro1 such a successful camera. The X-Trans sensor, with its more film-like color filter layout over the pixels, really makes the most of the resolution delivered by the camera's Fujinon optics to produce images with far more detail than most 16-million-pixel models can manage. The hybrid viewfinder offers the photographer the best of both digital and traditional optical worlds, and the straightforward layout of controls on the body makes the X-Pro1 simple and pleasurable to use, even if the AF system is not the fastest on the market. Although it isn't the smallest compact system camera on the market, its size is more than compensated for by the quality of the images it produces and the enjoyment it brings to the user."
Aimed at advanced photographers looking for an edge on their existing camera, the X-Pro1 is a new compact system packed with exciting features, lenses and accessories. Housed in a robust metal shell, the X-Pro1 contains a 16 megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor, a Hybrid Multi-viewfinder, an original X-Mount for FUJINON XF lenses and an EXR Processor Pro, all unique to Fujifilm. With additional features such as Multi-exposure mode, Aperture and Shutter Priority, Enhanced Film Simulation mode and a TTL Hotshoe with a Sync Terminal, the X-Pro1 is already establishing itself as the professional choice for photographers.
EISA is the unique association of 50 special interest magazines from 19 European countries. In June each year, the editors-in-chief from all EISA member magazines meet to decide which of the products analysed in their publications during the past year deserve a coveted EISA Award. The six categories under consideration are: Audio, Video, Home Theatre, Photography, In-Car Electronics and Mobile Devices.

Couple in DeLand bound by intruders posing as cops
Volusia County deputies search for 2 men who stole jewelry, hundreds of dollars
DeLAND, Fla. – A couple, including a man in his 80s, was tied up Thursday night by two men posing as police officers in a Volusia County home invasion.
[AUDIO: 911 call home invasion]
The armed robbery happened around 9:10 p.m. on Lake Mamie Road near U.S. Highway 17 near DeLand.
According to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, two men, one of whom had a gun, came to the door of the home and tricked the couple -- an 82-year-old man and his 63-year-old wife -- into thinking they were law enforcement officers.
"Somebody just come and knocked on our door," the woman told dispatchers. "I thought it was police officers."
When the wife opened the door, the men burst in and claimed they were looking for someone, deputies said.
"He made me lay on the floor, covered my legs took all my jewelry off took my husband's jewelry off and took 8 or 9 hundred dollars out of my pocket," the woman told dispatchers.
The intruders bound the hands and feet of the man and woman then stole money and jewelry from the couple, including a ring that the husband was wearing and a necklace that the woman was wearing, according to deputies.
The intruders then ran from the home, said deputies.
The couple was not injured, but they're emotionally shaken, deputies said.
"For something to happen to them like this is real shocking to hear, especially in this neighborhood," said neighbor Shawn Hale.
A description of the assailants was not released, and an investigation is ongoing.

Culture clash
Learning to play a musical instrument: be creative and pick something exotic!
Guitars have six strings, so what's the big deal? Well, actually, an Indian sitar has 20 and is a lot harder to play. But if you like a challenge, there are courses offered at the holy city of Varanasi on the Ganges River.
It sounds like a whale in an indoor pool. The good news is that it is quite easy to learn simple melodies on the didgeridoo and there are workshops in Sydney. Plus: Practicing regularly helps you snore less.
Making a pleasant sound with an alphorn isn't hard. But after learning the knack, you may find that your neighbors object to practice sessions, as the sound carries up to ten kilometers out in the open.


text: Share: March 25, 2013 Freshwater, Forests, Acid Rain Bubbling brooks and streams are a scenic and much loved feature of forest ecosystems, but long-term data at the U.S. Forest Service's Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest suggests that more productive forests might carry considerably less water, according to a study published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Mark Green, a research hydrologist with the Forest Service's Northern Research Station and an assistant professor at Plymouth State University, is the lead author for the study titled "Decreased Water Flowing from a Forest Amended with Calcium Silicate."Acid rain during the 20th century caused widespread depletion of available soil calcium, an essential plant nutrient, throughout much of the industrialized world. In 1999, scientists at the Forest Service's Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in the White Mountains of New Hampshire restored soil calcium levels to pre-industrial levels in a small watershed in an effort to better understand the ecological consequences of the depletion of available soil calcium. Subsequent studies demonstrated that following the application of a finely ground and pelletized calcium silicate mineral called wollastonite, species such as red spruce and sugar maple experienced improved cold hardiness and less seedling mortality in areas where calcium was applied.When Green reviewed the long-term data several years later, he found something surprising about the 1999 study: within 5 months of the application of wollastonite across a 30-acre watershed, there was a substantial increase in forest water use compared to a nearby watershed that was not treated with calcium."Our results in this study show that when we create a substantial increase in soil calcium, this forest responded by using more water, partly associated with increased growth. The result is that we see a change in forest hydrology," Green said. "We still have to determine whether the prior decrease in soil calcium due to acid rain caused a proportional decrease in evapotranspiration and thus greater streamflow, and if that means that when forests recover from acid deposition we'll see a decrease in water flowing in streams."As the need for carbon sequestration, biofuels, and other forest products increases, the study suggests that there might be unintended consequences to enhancing ecosystems using fertilization."Long-term ecological research is important to understanding the health and sustainability of the nation's forests," said Michael T. Rains, Director of the Northern Research Station. "With a network of more than 80 experimental forests located across the country and decades of monitoring data from this network, the Forest Service is contributing invaluable information about forest conditions along a complex rural to urban land gradient as well as discovering other trends through a wide-range of ongoing critical research topics."Co-authors include NRS researchers Amey Bailey, Scott Bailey, John Campbell, and Paul Schaberg, and John Battles of the University of California, Berkley, Charles Driscoll of Syracuse University, Timothy Fahey of Cornell University, Lucie Lepine of the University of New Hampshire, Gene Likens of the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies and University of Connecticut, and Scott Ollinger of the University of New Hampshire.

Crystal River, Florida - Crystal Isles Rv Resort
This morning around 6 am, Baxter was laying next to me being calm (rare) and sweet. I was getting some loving from him when all of a sudden I heard a horrible cat fight going on. Al and I flew out of bed stumbling to try to find a light. Two kitties were up front by the drivers floor with a lot of yowling going on. It sounded like someone was getting hurt.
I noticed Baxter was behind the drivers seat checking out the action. We got the fight broken up and were checking to see if anybody was bleeding. We didn't see any blood, but when we went to look for Baxter we couldn't find him.
We looked and looked and I was getting worried. I didn't think he was involved in the cat fight but since we couldn't find him, we were starting to panic.
We've had cats long enough to know they can find the smallest and most unusual places to hide and we had the motorhome cat proofed before he arrived and once Baxter arrived we "kitten proofed" it. We thought.
Finally after 10-15 minutes I heard a noise and saw a paw sticking out from under a drawer by Al's side of the bed. No way he could have gotten in there at that spot. We looked and looked for a hole large enough for a small kitten. There didn't seem to be any place for him to get out. Al finally found a small opening beside my side of the bed and we coaxed him over to that side. He wouldn't come out though. The poor little guy was terrified from all the commotion. I got out my best choices of roast beef, grouper and kitten food. He grabbed at the food with his paw, but wouldn't come out….the little stinker! We worked on him for another few minutes before Al finally coaxed him out. We immediately stuffed towels into the opening. He was still very afraid and didn't want to come out of his safe spot.
The following picture is shows the tiny hole he got into.
He is still scared to death, so we put him in his little kitty condo to calm down. We don't think he was involved in the fight and he doesn't appear to be hurt, but he's still scared.
Our cats normally get along fine, but once in a while there is a tiff. This one was worse than normal. So far I don't see any wounds or blood. Most of the time the noise is much worse than the actual fight.
We arrived at our new campground yesterday afternoon.
It was a beautiful sunny day and a good day to travel.
We settled into our very nice upgraded site on the water. There is a lot to do up here and we're anxiously waiting the first cold front of the season!
It's supposed to get down to 62 degrees tonight and Saturday only get up to 78! Boy does that sound nice!
More later.

The Framed artwork is sold out, but prints are still available to purchase:
Super Step Bros. is available to purchase HERE
Prestige Worldwide is available to purchase HERE
2008 was an interesting year. The Economy was just on the verge of going down the toilet, Flo Rida had the number one song in the country, I left my full-time job at Electronic Arts to return home to Southern California (really good timing Joey...), and a lovely little movie from Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly came out. Only one of these things can we look back on fondly and laugh.
Gallery 1988 is paying tribute to a very funny movie with "The Four Year Anniversary Celebration of the Cinematic Classic Step Brothers"
Funnyordie.com posted an excellent preview of some of the work from the show: http://www.funnyordie.com/articles/a7a2dc72b4/step-brothers-honored-at-gallery1988
Huff and Doback are one of the best comedy pairings in recent memory. Both of these actors are excellent on their own
So when I heard these two guys were making a movie together, I was pretty excited! Gallery 1988 is known for putting together interesting art shows that people didn't realize they wanted and they never disappoint. The artwork from this show is incredible, and the inspired artwork shows what a great movie Step Brothers truly is.
I created 2 different pieces for the show. I am a fan of NES box art and always love the challenge of simplifying something into the iconic pixel art. For this show I thought it was only appropriate that Huff and Doback replaced Mario and Luigi:
But then I also thought it would be appropriate to continue my series of retro children's albums with Prestige Worldwide:
The show will open Friday, August 31st and run through September 22. If you're a fan of this great movie, you should head on down to Santa Monica and check it out!
A limited number of signed and numbered prints of my artwork will be available exclusively through Gallery 1988 at the gallery as well as through their online store: http://nineteeneightyeight.com

There are some notable exceptions. What about press releases for example? Such and such a company or entity issues a statement about a new product, upgrade or whatever. Isn't the company expecting people to copy the notice? Yes, pretty obviously. In fact, they would probably like to have the entire press release reproduced and not just abstracted or excerpted. But that is far from the common situation.
You cannot copyright facts. If I read that the temperature in Phoenix is 110 degrees, that is a fact and not covered by copyright. Be careful in how you reproduce those fact however, the wording of the original is copyrighted.
Another exception is fair use. The Wikipedia definition is pretty good, here it is:
Fair use is a limitation and exception to the exclusive right granted by copyright law to the author of a creative work. In United States copyright law, fair use is a doctrine that permits limited use of copyrighted material without acquiring permission from the rights holders. Examples of fair use include commentary, criticism, news reporting, research, teaching, library archiving and scholarship. It provides for the legal, unlicensed citation or incorporation of copyrighted material in another author's work under a four-factor balancing test.While I am at it, Wikipedia is governed by the Creative Commons, another exception to the Copyright Law. This particular quote is covered by the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License License.
Another exception is the use of United States Federal Government documents. Not State documents, not county etc. but only US Government documents. However, there may be copyrighted material in a government document and you need to read carefully to see if any rights have been reserved.
Now back to fair use. There is a balancing criteria. Here is the quote from 17 United States Code Section 107:
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 17 U.S.C. § 106 and 17 U.S.C. § 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:Got it? If not, you are not alone. Unfortunately, most of the law is vague and difficult to understand. The simple answer, always attribute any copy. The second part, never copy an entire work even if the work is only one paragraph or one sentence long. Rewrite in your own words.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors
- the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
- the nature of the copyrighted work;
- the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
- the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
Last, you can always ask permission to reproduce a work.

The source of the first Christmas stocking may be none other than the original St. Nicholas.
He was a bishop in Asia Minor back in the fourth century. And, according to the lore, St. Nick had heard of a poor man who wasn't able to provide for his daughters.
- Advertisement -
Discouraged, the man prepared to sell his daughters into slavery.
But St. Nicholas refused to let that happen. He anonymously gave them a gift of gold, tossing the offering down the chimney.
And the bounty came to rest in some stockings the girls had left to dry by the fireplace.
In some families, children find a tangerine in their stockings, to represent the lump of gold left by St. Nicholas for the poor family.

About Bill Samuels, Chairman of EffectiveNY
Bill Samuels
Chairman, EffectiveNY
Bill Samuels is chairman of the board of EffectiveNY and the EffectiveNY Howard Samuels Policy Center.
Bill has a lifetime of experience as a successful businessman, socially-responsible entrepreneur and CEO. At the same time, he has a rich history as an innovative political thinker, progressive leader and activist.
Bill started in politics as an aide to his father, Howard, a beloved statesman, industrialist and U.S. Under Secretary of Commerce and Director of the Small Business Administration under President Johnson, who sought the governorship of New York State on a few occasions in the 1960s and 1970s. Always a passionate policy advocate, Bill became active in the anti-war movement, raising money to finance the historic Vietnam Veterans Against the War March on Washington in 1971.
On the business side, Bill was one of the founders of the Council on Economic Priorities (CEP), which for over 30 years was the premiere public interest organization focused on companies' policies on the environment, women & minority advancement, corporate disclosure of information, labor relations, family benefits, and worker rights.
After Harvard Law School, Bill started an innovative education company that focused on training workers 16 years and older the basic skills needed to get and keep a job. He built that company into a worldwide enterprise with operations in Brazil, Europe, Mexico and Asia, and took it public before moving on to other entrepreneurial ventures. Later, he founded ACTV, a cutting-edge interactive education and media company. Working with investors such as The Washington Post, the company developed some of the core intellectual property for interactive television and the World Wide Web, including two fundamental patents issued for the Internet, before being sold to an affiliate of Liberty Media in 2002.
At the same time, Bill remained deeply involved in progressive politics, fundraising for Democratic candidates and speaking out on issues of both local and national importance. In 2000, he helped finance the lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of New York's notoriously gerrymandered redistricting plan.
During the 2004 Presidential campaign, in response to the "swiftboating" of Democratic nominee John Kerry, Bill produced the documentary Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry to set the record straight about Kerry's heroism.
After the 2004 election, Bill turned his attention back to state politics, working Eliot Spitzer to raise money to help the Democratic Party regain the State Senate. He also founded the Blue Tiger Democrats, an innovative grassroots organization designed to reconnect the party to its core communities.
In the 2008 election cycle, Bill served as Finance Chairman for the New York Democratic Senate Campaign Committee, playing a key role in the Democrats gaining control of the State Senate for the first time in decades. In this position, Bill developed a deep understanding of the state Legislature's structural problems that prevent better candidates from running for office, and ultimately corrupt so many of the people who do choose to run.
Despite his high hopes for the new majority, Bill was deeply disheartened when the Senate Democratic Conference failed to make the dramatic reforms necessary to allow Albany to function effectively. His disappointment turned to outrage when the Democrats, led by John Sampson and Malcolm Smith, desperate to hold on to the perks of the majority at any cost, cynically accepted Senators Pedro Espada and Hiram Monserrate back into the conference in the aftermath of their failed June 2009 coup.
Bill resigned as Finance Chair and launched the New Roosevelt Initiative, a political action committee with the mission of ousting Espada from office.

More than 44 million Americans own firearms. Of the 192 million firearms owned in the United States, 65 million are handguns. Research shows guns in homes are a serious risk to families.
A gun kept in the home is far more likely to kill or injure a household member than kill or injure an intruder.
A gun kept in the home triples the risk of homicide.
The risk of suicide is 5 times more likely if a gun is kept in the home.
The best way to keep your children safe from injury or death from guns is to NEVER have a gun in the home.
Do not purchase a gun, especially a handgun.
Remove all guns present in the home.
Remember that young children simply do not understand how dangerous guns can be, despite parents' warnings.
Find out if there are guns in the homes where your children play. If so, talk to the adults in the house about the dangers of guns to their families.
Always keep the gun unloaded and locked up.
Lock and store the bullets in a separate place.
Make sure to hide the keys to the locked boxes.

Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag and smile, smile, smile
Atletico Madrid 2-1 Sevilla (02:01:10)
- click on photos to enlarge image -
One needs to make the most of visits to the Estadio Vicente Calderón these days. Why? Well, in a year or two from now, the bulldozers are going to move in, flatten the place, and turn it into flats. The Club - whose owners previously stated they'd never leave - will then relocate to a soulless athletics stadium near to Madrid airport. You won't meet a single Atleti fan who thinks its a good idea. This is just the start of their myriad of problems.
Atletico Madrid is simply a madhouse. The two owners; Gil Marin and Enrique Cerezo - who, fraudulently, acquired the club in 1992 - can't stand each other. The fans hate the pair of them as well as a fair few of their players, who regularly leave through a revolving door, as do the managers - 9 in six years for Spain's third biggest club, in which time their trophy cabinet has remained bare.
Did I mention that they are also hopelessly in debt to the tune of €300m? Also (there's more - Ed?), recently, to appease fans who he'd previously tried to buy off, Gil wrote an open letter to them saying 'come along chaps, lets all be mates'. This resulted in a march of 7,000 fans calling for both his and Cerezo's noggins and riot police moving in to disperse those fans. Apart from that everything is tickety boo.
After a week in rural Spain (whereby I'd got myself into one or two 'Littlest Hobbo' type adventures eg cutting up two pigs from start to finish to make about 1000 chorizos) it was on to Madrid to resume normal service - futbol y cerveza. I stopped off in the city of Cuenca en route which is famed for its free tapas. First tapa served up with my opening beer of the day? A whole pigs tail. I oinked my approval, snorted down several more beers and then moved onto the capital.
After parting with the thick end of 50 quid for a ticket at the ground, I popped into the Sport Arena bar next to the clubs impressive museum. In an attempt to clear the clubs debts, they were cheekily charging €2.50 for a caña (less than half a pint) so it was only fleeting visit.
As luck would have it, there are a couple of bars opposite the stadium. The ultras were letting off bangers and fireworks outside the front of one of them 'El Parador' (and this was 3hrs before kick off!), so I opted to go in El Chiscon De La Ribera next door. In here they sold a 'mini' of beer for €6. Mini by name but size of a bus by nature. A mini equates to about a litres worth of strong beer - nice.
Inside and it was good to see that Sevilla had brought along 3000 away fans. They hadn't though had they. This is Spain. Despite the fact the AVE can get you from Sevilla to Madrid in two hours - they had the backing of 20 (twenty!) fans.
It was however rather splendid to see the booze ban being flaunted. Hip flasks were all the rage, as were the odd bota de vino and even a few cans of beer. Three young lads in front of me also had a couple of 'Camberwell carrots' on the go for the duration of the match.
Unlike at the Bernabau, sheets of noise emanate from the stands of the Calderón, mainly from the ultras in the "Fondo Sur" but quite often, everybody joins in and gives their vocal chords an airing.
As expected, Sevilla took the lead early doors with a looping Renato header from a corner on 17 minutes. It was a really soft goal and led to more calls for the board to leave. The score remained the same until a comedy moment just the other side of half time. Diego Forlan was sent racing through one on one with the keeper, who cleared his fairly weak effort, only for the ball to rebound off a Sevilla players hooter and head straight into the net. This resulted in me being swept of my feet by all those around me and a bout of high fiving ensued.
The usual flurry of yellow and red cards followed. Then, just as the referee was about to blow for full time up popped Antonio Lopez (of course Antonio Lopez) and with his noddle, he sent 35,000 into absolute ecstasy by heading in a 93rd minute winner. By now I'd been accepted as a new colchonero and the high fiving had turned to manly cuddles.
For a moment, the long suffering fans of Atleti who are famed for embracing a loser's role and are generally proudly pessimistic, packed up their troubles in their old kit bag, and for once - smiled, smiled, smiled. Not for long though. Afterwards, they headed around to the main stand to protest once more and let off a few more bangers in the direction of the board.
Its always great going to see Altetico Madrid. So good in fact that I'm returning in April for another game. See you there Los Colchoneros!

Emmy noms
"Friday Night Lights" was shut out, a disappointment.
"24" was shut out, a fitting change.
Newcomers "Heroes," "Ugly Betty" and "30 Rock" got deserved nods but "FNL" deserved it and really could have used the boost going forward.
"The Sopranos" got 15 nominations but surprisingly was passed by "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee," a flawed miniseries generally dismissed by critics, which won 17. Credit the Academy for at least adding lots of new faces to the competition, a point of contention in the past.
Find the complete list from today's crack-of-dawn announcement.
No surprise that HBO topped the networks with the most nominations, 86, but ABC did quite well with 70. Glad to see FX's "The Riches" was recognized, via Minnie Driver's performance as a con artist. And way to go, Denis Leary and "Rescue Me."

Traits A - C
This Sim will sometimes forget whatever he or she was doing. This results in the current command being canceled, and the Sim skipping it in the queue. Sims will be struck with this even if Free Will is off. You'll need to babysit your Absent-Minded Sims very closely to make sure they're not skipping an incredibly important command, such as going to work.
This trait is incompatible with Perceptive.
Increases XP gain for completing quests while on vacation, and decreases the amount of time it takes for a Sim to go on another vacation after returning from one. If you want a lot of rewards abroad, this is the way to go, but remember that going on vacations is a little expensive. To truly take advantage of an Adventurous Sim, you'll probably need some cash in your bank account.
This trait is compatible with all others.
Increases the job performance rate, leading to faster promotions. However, a debuff is applied if the Sim cannot get promoted as quickly as he wants to. Good for conventional jobs, but a poor choice for self-employment.
This trait is compatible with all others.
Increases the XP rate for fishing, as well as the quality of the fish that are caught.
This trait is compatible with all others.
Animal Lover[edit]
Increases the relationship rate for interacting with all animals, but less so than the Cat Person, Dog Person, or Equestrian traits. This also allows some special social interactions with animals that are otherwise locked.
This trait is incompatible with Cat Person, Dog Person, and Equestrian.
Increases the XP rate and quality of all creative outlets, including music, writing, and artwork, but less so than the Bookworm or Virtuoso traits. Good for self-employed Sims who are freelance writers or musicians.
This trait is incompatible with Can't Stand Art.
Increases the XP rate of the Athletic skill and allows the Sim to work out for longer periods of time. Good for any job requiring athletics, such as the military or professional athlete career tracks.
This trait is incompatible with Couch Potato.
Increases the XP rate of the Writing skill, and allows better-quality books to be written in less time. Also decreases the amount of time the Sim needs to read to finish a book. Having this skill allows a Sim to read his way through any skill book fairly quickly, making it pretty useful for Generation 1 Sims.
This trait is compatible with all others.
Born Salesman (or Born Saleswoman)[edit]
Increases cash made from sales of items to the Consignment Store. This is a great trait for any Sim who is getting into Inventing, Sculpting, or Alchemy.
This trait is compatible with all others.
Allows the Sim to quickly extinguish fires or fight burglars, causing them to panic less and react faster than Sims without this trait. Fantastic for the Firefighter profession, but not very important for the police career track due to that career being autonomous.
This trait is incompatible with Coward and Loser.
Occasionally strikes the Sim with the need to brood, which is done by a self-interaction. The brooding commands allows the Sim to regain a little in the social meter even when no one is around. If the Sim is allowed to brood uninterrupted for a few hours, he'll gain a buff.
This trait is incompatible with Excitable.
Can't Stand Art[edit]
Applies a debuff when the Sim is near artwork, especially in the art museum. Sims with this trait need to have stripped down decorated homes. However, because the trait does not apply a buff when the Sim is away from art, its use is limited.
This trait is incompatible with Artistic and Savvy Sculptor.
Cat Person[edit]
Increases the relationship gain rate between the Sim and any cat, and applies a buff when cats are nearby.
This trait is incompatible with Animal Lover, Dog Person, and Equestrian.
Increases the chance any social interaction will pass, and slightly increases the effect (such as relationship gain) from any such interaction. Also increases the XP gain rate of the Charisma skill. Good for careers dependent on socialization, such as the politics career track.
This trait is incompatible with Loser, but is strangely not incompatible with Shy.
Increases the relationship gain rate of toddlers and children, and unlocks special interactions with some objects. However, because the Sim is childish, his Fun meter depletes faster and takes a bit longer to fill.
This trait is incompatible with Dislikes Children.
Unlocks special animations showing the Sim messing up daily life, with some especially unique animations for special moments such as marriage. Depending on the animation, this may apply a weak debuff as the Sim recovers from the situation.
This trait is incompatible with Natural Born Performer.
Committment Issues[edit]
This Sim will frequently get Wants to change jobs or relationships, and possibly gain debuffs if you don't. It keeps life exciting and fresh, but can make long-term planning tough.
This trait is incompatible with Hopeless Romantic.
Computer Whiz[edit]
Reduces the chance a computer will break after use, and reduces the time needed to fix one. Applies a buff while the Sim is using the computer, and unlocks a special "Hack" interaction.
This trait is incompatible with Technophobe.
Couch Potato[edit]
Applies a buff when the Sim is watching TV or playing videogames, and increases the amount of fun derived from those activities. Applies a debuff when the Sim is doing anything athletic, and reduces the amount of time the Sim can work out before getting tired.
This trait is incompatible with Athletic, Disciplined, and Technophobe.
Causes the Sim to refuse to fight fires or burglars, and increases the duration and intensity of the automatic "Panic!" action when a disaster is happening.
This trait is incompatible with Brave, Daredevil, Natural Born Performer, and Supernatural Fan.

LONDON – Finance director Chris Lucas and a senior legal adviser are stepping down from scandal-hit British bank Barclays, it said Sunday.
Barclays said Lucas and general counsel Mark Harding will leave once successors have been found. The bank said in a statement that given the men's seniority, that could take "a considerable time."
Lucas did not disclose reasons for his departure, but said his six-year stint as group finance director had occurred during "the most eventful period during which anyone could have occupied a role such as mine."
Lucas is one of several past and present Barclays staff being investigated over whether the bank broke the rules when it took big cash infusions from Qatar's sovereign wealth fund in 2008.
He also was one of the most senior survivors of a period that saw several top executives, including CEO Bob Diamond, leave since a rate-fixing scandal erupted last year. Barclays was fined $453 million by U.S. and British authorities after it emerged that executives had been involved in a campaign to rig a key interest rate known as LIBOR.
Barclays also is one of several British banks involved in a scandal over the mis-selling of payment protection insurance, in which consumers were signed up for inappropriate and expensive insurance products. That scandal has already cost Barclays hundreds of millions of pounds in compensation.
Last week CEO Antony Jenkins said he was forgoing his annual bonus in light of the "multiple issues of our own making besetting the bank."

Make sure the person is comfortable, and tell them what you're doing. Make sure you work from the side of the injury and don't have to lean across their body.
The key points when applying a bandage are:
There are 3 types of roller bandage:
To apply a roller bandage:
When applying bandages to elbows and knees to hold dressings in place or support sprains or strains, flex the joint slightly, apply the bandage in a figure of eight, and extend the bandage quite far on each side of the joint.
When applying bandages on hands to hold dressings in place or support sprains and strains, work from the inside of the wrist using diagonal turns across the back of the hand to the end of the little finger, leaving the thumb free.
Tubular bandages are used to hold dressings on fingers or toes, or support injured joints. They're made of seamless fabric tube.
You can get elasticated ones to place over joints such as the ankle. Ones made of tubular gauze can be placed over fingers or toes, but don't provide any pressure to stop bleeding.
Before placing a tubular bandage over an injury, you may need to cut it to a smaller size.
Triangular bandages can be used as large dressings, as slings to support a limb, or to secure a dressing in place.
If you're using a triangular bandage as a sling on an arm, you use it opened out.
You should:
If you're using a triangular bandage to support a lower limb or large dressing, fold it in half horizontally so the point of the triangle touches the middle of the long edge. Then fold it in half again in the same direction to make a broad strip.

Her writings are the outpourings of both her outward questioning and inner journeying.
Coaching is a process of inquiry and one of Minx's favorite first questions is: When was the last time you gave yourself your undivided attention? Now more than ever, as life seems to get busier and more demanding, we each need to find quiet time to reflect on our circumstances and connect with our wise inner voice. As a coach as well as an author, poet, columnist, motivational speaker, and workshop facilitator, Minx is always seeking ways to encourage her audiences to find their own path to a joyful, meaningful, and fulfilling life.

And here the introduction from the book, Healing Is a Journey…
In every life there will be joys and sorrows. The question becomes how to savor each of the joys and navigate our way through the sorrows that must be faced. The answer lies in our capacity to respond to all that life brings with composure, authenticity, courage, resilience, and resourcefulness.
Composure means staying calm and levelheaded in the midst of the inevitable storms that rise, swell, and then subside throughout the journey of a single life. Authenticity requires that we each find our own path, our own unique ways of being and doing what is ours to do. Yes, of course, it is helpful to learn from what others have done in challenging times, but ultimately, we must each choose our own path toward healing and wellness. Courage becomes available when we make those choices based on that which we are fervently drawn toward, value, and hold dear. Resilience and resourcefulness involve our ability to draw upon our readiness and our will to do the next best thing… and then the next.
Even in the midst of a crisis, whether of body, mind, or spirit, there is something within that guides us and gives us the strength and determination to heal in the fullest sense of the word, which is to become whole. Taking time and making space to know oneself—and to make choices from that awareness—is the first and best gift toward healing that we can give ourselves. Knee-jerk reactions and decisions that come from fear interfere with accessing our own truths and deep wisdom, which are at the core of finding our way to true well-being and a fulfilling life.
Since you are holding this book in your hands, my hope and intention, dear reader, is that you will use it as a guide on your own personal healing journey. With this in mind, I invite you to find your own best way to meander through this book, whether that means reading it from cover to cover or opening it to a random page when you are seeking inspiration, noticing both what is written and your own response.
However you decide to embark, I wish you good travels.
In the spirit and adventure of it all,
Minx Boren
