Senators defeat border security provision
Bipartisan authors of a sweeping immigration bill agreed to Republican-authored amendments to boost border security, as they tried Thursday to show they're open to changes to attract more GOP support for their landmark legislation.
The bill's authors also stuck together to defeat a Republican amendment that would have barred anyone from seeking citizenship until the U.S.-Mexico border had been secured for six months. Supporters of the bill charged that the real effect of that provision would have been to delay citizenship indefinitely for the estimated 11 million people living here illegally.
The fast-paced action unfolded as the Judiciary Committee convened the first of what's expected to be two weeks of meetings to plow through some 300 amendments to legislation backed by President Barack Obama to remake the nation's immigration laws. The bill would toughen border security, overhaul legal immigration to allow tens of thousands of new high- and low-skilled workers into the country, require all employers to check their workers' immigration status and create a 13-year path to citizenship for the millions already here.
The debate and votes Thursday provided a window into the possibilities and challenges before the immigration bill as it faces an uncertain fate on the Senate floor in June and then in the GOP-controlled House. A handful of Republican senators appeared unwavering in opposition. In his opening comments, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, charged that the bill does little more than repeat mistakes of the past.
"It falls short of what I want to see in a strong immigration reform bill, so you will hear me say many times that we shouldn't make the same mistakes that we made in 1986," the last time Congress passed a major immigration overhaul bill, Grassley said. "You'll hear me say many times that we ought to move ahead with a bill that does it right this time."
Supporters of the bill countered that the legislation represents the country's best hope to change the immigration system and a chance to break through the partisanship that's riven Congress and the country. They pleaded with opponents and senators who might be wavering to give the bill a chance and try to improve it — not just look to kill it.
"We have come up with a fair bill where no one gets everything they want, but at the end of the day, it will mean dramatic improvement for the American economy, the American people, and will make our immigration policy much more in sync with what is good for jobs and America," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., one of the bill's eight authors.
The hearing room where the senators met was packed with lobbyists and immigration activists, some of whom stood with their hands clasped in prayer before the proceedings began Thursday. Outside, relatives of people who've been deported gathered to call for fair restructuring.
The bill survived an early test as the committee voted 12-6 to defeat a Grassley amendment to require border security for six months before legalization programs could begin. Republicans Jeff Flake of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina voted with Democrats to bring it down. Flake and Graham are among the Republican authors of the bill.
"This amendment would set a standard that basically would delay, probably forever, any legalization, bringing people out of the shadows," said Schumer.
Grassley said the goal was to ensure real border security, something he charged the bill lacks.
"If we pass the bill as-is, there will be no pressure on this administration or future administrations to secure the border," he said.
But in a concession by Democrats, the committee agreed to a Grassley amendment to require that new border security standards in the bill — calling for 90 percent of would-be crossers to be stopped or turned back — must apply to the entire southern border, not just "high-risk" sectors with the most crossings as the bill now says. Schumer called it a positive change, and the committee agreed to it by voice vote.
The bill was written during months of private negotiations by eight senators equally divided between the two parties. Four of these lawmakers sit on the Judiciary Committee — Schumer, Graham, Flake and Dick Durbin, D-Ill. — and the focus was on them Thursday to see if they would stick together to defeat amendments from either side that could strike at the bill's central provisions, upending the fragile compromises at its core.
The vote on the Grassley amendment requiring six-month control of the border before unauthorized immigrants could begin to legalize their status was likely the first of several in which the Republican authors sided with committee Democrats to vote down amendments from their own side. Schumer and Durbin also are expected to lend their votes to the Republican side to defeat Democratic amendments that could improve the bill for immigrant families but cost Republican support.
Although the bill allows citizenship to go forward only after certain border security goals have been met, those "triggers" haven't proven convincing enough for many GOP lawmakers, and even one of the bill's authors, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has said border measures need to be stronger. Although Rubio does not sit on the Judiciary Committee, he has pushed for some changes to be accepted, and the authors of the bill who do sit on the committee were going along with some of them Thursday.
The committee also agreed to Grassley amendments to require more auditing of money collected under the bill, and to an amendment by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, to add certain forms of trafficking in persons to a the list of violent crimes that must be reported by the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program.
An amendment by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to give Congress a bigger role in signing off on border security steps in the bill was defeated, again by a 12-6 vote with Flake and Graham joining the Democrats on the panel.
Democrats have the votes to ensure the bill passes the Judiciary Committee, but from its future is less clear, especially in the House. Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who's been cautious in his public comments on how to proceed on immigration, promised Thursday that the House would act.
"I just want to say this: the House is going to work its will on immigration reform," Boehner said at a news conference. "This is an issue that has been around far too long and needs to be dealt with. And I intend to see that it is dealt with."

3. Aaron Murray, Georgia
… Aaron Murray has thrown for 10,901 yards and 95 touchdowns in his career. How in the world is he No. 3 on the list? Despite his 4-10 record against top 25 teams in three seasons, Murray hasn't been able to win the big game yet, but that's not all his fault. Georgia tends to avoid showing up against ranked opponents on the biggest stage, and that includes Murray. Over the longevity of his career, Murray has produced numbers, but he has very little accolades and hardware to show for it…
2. AJ McCarron, Alabama
AJ McCarron has won back-to-back national championships. And if he had as many attempts as Aaron Murray over the last two seasons (789 compared to 642), his numbers would be much more prolific. McCarron has registered 5,950 yards passing and 49 touchdowns, compared to just eight INTs, in just two years as a full-time starter.
I know somebody's gotta be three and somebody's gotta be two, but can I ask the obvious question here: if Murray and McCarron had swapped teams the past two seasons, does anybody really think there'd be two more crystal footballs gracing Butts-Mehre today? Unless you're willing to say yes to that, how is a natty relevant to a discussion of which quarterback is better?
I think about this particularly in the context of the SECCG. 'Bama won the game by taking the ball out of McCarron's hands (except for that play action TD pass that you knew was coming). Georgia almost won the game by putting the ball in Murray's hands. Does that Georgia's defense couldn't stop the Alabama running game make McCarron a better quarterback than Murray? I guess for some people, maybe it does.

Immunologists identify biochemical signals that help immune cells remember how to fight infection
DALLAS - Immunology researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered how two biochemical signals play unique roles in promoting the development of a group of immune cells employed as tactical assassins.
In their initial response, these immune cells, known as cytotoxic T lymphocytes, or CTLs, kill cells infected with pathogens. They also provide long-term protection against pathogens by remembering which proteins the pathogen makes. Targeting the ability of these CTLs to remember the pathogen is one way vaccines protect against infection.
Until now, no innate signals have been identified that regulate the development of memory cells, said Dr. David Farrar, assistant professor of immunology at
UT Southwestern and senior author of the study appearing online and in a future edition of Blood. Our study is the first to identify the signals that promote the development of these memory cells when you first get infected.
The researchers previously showed that two molecules interferon alpha and another signaling protein, cytokine, or IL-12 are needed to induce the creation of memory cells. They also found that interferon plays a key role in teaching the immune system how to fight off repeated infections of the same virus.
Dr. Farrar said the findings suggest that in order to be most effective, a vaccine should induce the secretion of both of these innate cytokines.
The immune system consists of two components the innate system, which provides immediate defense against infection, and the adaptive system, whose memory cells are called into action to fight off subsequent infections. The human immune system churns out both IL-12 and interferon alpha in large quantities in response to a viral infection.
The concept in the field has been that these cytokines perform the same function, but our new findings suggest that they actually have very distinct roles, said Hilario Ramos, student research assistant in immunology and the studys lead author. It turns out that the IL-12 signal is really important in driving that immediate, or effector, immune response while interferon drives the development of long-term memory.
Past UT Southwestern studies have shown that the two cytokines work together in CD4 T-cells to generate memory cells; the new research suggests that these molecules perform distinct roles in another type of immune cell called CD8 T lymphocytes.
For these cells, whether they become killers or long-term memory cells depends upon which cytokine they respond to. Those that receive the IL-12 become killers while those that receive interferon alpha turn into long-term memory cells.
Regardless of the precise mechanism, what we know now is that you can develop both long-term and immediate memory cells at the same time, Dr. Farrar said.
The next step, he said, is to identify pools of memory cells that remember specific pathogens in humans.
There are some vaccines that are extremely effective, while others are only moderately effective, Dr. Farrar said. If we can isolate pools of antigen-specific memory cells, we should be able to determine what it is about those pools of memory cells that is different between an extremely effective vaccine and one thats not so effective.
If we can figure that out, then we can start to think about altering our approach to vaccinating based on the different type of microorganism that were trying to vaccinate against, he said.
Other UT Southwestern researchers involved in the study were Ann Davis, former student research assistant in immunology; Alexander Cole, undergraduate research fellow; Dr. John Schatzle, associate professor of pathology; and Dr. James Forman, professor of immunology.
The National Institutes of Health supported the research.

Hey whats up, i recently bought a 2006 4.0 mustang and ive been trying to get into a car crew in the bay area but there's a lot of issues, some crews are v8s only and other crews require mods on cars. I want to see if any one in the Bay Area knows of a v6 crew or if anyone would be down to start a v6 crew of our own. It doesn't have to be a mustang or a fast rocket with tons of mods, the only rule so far is it has to be v6. Messege me back for further details.

Industries in arrears on rent and loans face county crackdown
With what they claim is hundreds of thousands in unpaid rent and loans on the line, Jackson County commissioners have ordered three delinquent tenants at county-owned industrial sites to pay up, or else.
Precisely what "or else" means hasn't been spelled out. But, in a 5-0 vote, commissioners did make clear last week they want the money they believe is owed the county. That would be $92,700 from QC Apparel; $104,550 from Stanton and Stanton; and $83,166.72 from Clearwood Lumber.
The county has been prodding at least two of the industries to pay up since last summer. The former board of commissioners discussed the issue in closed session on more than one occasion.
Their less-than-stellar track record with the county goes back years, however. Their failure to stay current on revolving loan payments portrayed the old Economic Development Commission as being lax in its oversight of the revolving loan fund. That in turn triggered a county takeover of the EDC, but the county hasn't done much better since it has been at the helm.
In addition to the back rent, QC Apparel has an outstanding revolving loan of $410,094, and hasn't made a payment since January 2008, interim County Manager Chuck Wooten told commissioners. Clearwood has an outstanding revolving loan of $76,716.87, and hasn't made a payment since May, he said.
Neither QC Apparel nor Clearwood Lumber returned phone messages seeking comment. Wooten said he had not received a response as of earlier this week to the dunning letters sent to any of the three companies.
Related Items
Charles Stanton, owner of Stanton and Stanton, told The Smoky Mountain News on Monday that commissioners are mistaken. He does not owe back rent, because his woodworking company put in "a lot of money fixing up the building" per a lease agreement. Stanton said he planned to meet with Wooten this week and attempt to clear up the matter.
Stanton said his company has six full-time employees and six to 12 installers working at any given time under contracts.
QC Apparel and Stanton and Stanton are located in the former Tuckaseigee Mills building on Scotts Creek Road. Clearwood Lumber is in Whittier.
Jackson County Development Corp., a nonprofit arm of the county's Economic Development Commission, originally purchased Tuckaseigee Mills.

Talk:1196: Subways
I think the comic is making fun of the ridiculous scale-inaccuracies found in public transport plans, including subway plans, which make it hard to estimate actual distances and travel times. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 08:15, 8 April 2013 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Well that's because you live in America. They are inaccurate because it makes them easier to read: you should already know the distances between the stops. Beanie (talk) 12:03, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
I think it's deffently a factor. <that one editor who always forgets to login> 126.96.36.199 (talk) 08:35, 8 April 2013 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- (Let's try again, dodgy internet link, here, and someone's editing in parallel it seems.) I don't personally find the scale-inaccuracies ridiculous. Take a scale-consistent map of a "city-and-its-suburbs" and it's way too busy/cramped in the centre and very sparse at the fringes. Personally I like the way that Moscow treated this problem. But my favourite is of course the classic London Underground maps. Or, for fun, this variant (image link available there, but I've already got a copy on my wall anyway). In fact, what I take from Randall's Subways image is something akin to what I like about this latter. Instead of playing with identity, playing with connectivity. Anyone want to add the Tube/Paris Metro/Berlin U&S-Bahn, etc, onto the edges of Randall's effort? ;) 18.104.22.168
- 'Deffently.' I don't think you have a say here if you spell the word 'definitely' that badly. Beanie (talk) 12:05, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
Evocative (perhaps far too?) of the frontispiece of "Transit Maps of the World". A stylized representation of all of the world's subway maps connected together. 126.96.36.199 18:38, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
What does it mean "(with respect to geography)"? As a non US citizen I don't know what is odd about this map. Is this actually how the lines connect up? Are these real stations/lines? Can you really go from san fransisco to new york on subway? 220.127.116.11 (talk) 09:19, 8 April 2013 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Of course not. These are all different subway systems, only connected on this map because their official individual maps use the same colors for different lines. I expect this explanation will be updated to list all the different systems seen here, including Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and the New York Subway. 188.8.131.52 09:30, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
- "I expect this explanation will be updated to list all the different systems seen here" As a New Yorker, I can say that while most of the map is quite accurate, some lines cannot be named because each color belongs to multiple lines (with some exceptions) and Randall has taken some serious liberties at the connections to other systems. (E.g. there is no blue line with one end in Hoboken and the other end at 34th Street, as shown on this map) Bdemirci (talk) 12:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC) EDIT: That blue line might be part of the NJ Transit, but including a New Jersey line in with the Subway is quite heretical. Bdemirci (talk) 12:25, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
- That blue line is part of PATH, a subway between NJ and NYC. It's not part of NJ Transit; it's run by the Port Authority, an agency created by a bi-state compact between NY and NJ. And its official map does indeed use blue for the line from hoboken to 33rd street. 188.8.131.52 13:57, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
- I heard they're starting to talk about extending the 7 to Secaucus... 188.8.131.52 15:35, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Bdemirci (talk) 12:25, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
- Also, the comic is using an extremely loose definition of "subway". (Chicago and Cleveland, for example, do not have anything that would fit a normal, dictionary definition of the word. And no, what they do have is certainly not connected in any case -- unless you count highways, in which case the map is ridiculously incomplete.) Jonadab (talk) 11:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
- I don't know about Cleveland, but you're just plain wrong about Chicago. Chicago most definitely has a subway system in the traditional (as well as in the pedantic) sense. 188.8.131.52 22:58, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
- You're definitely wrong about Cleveland as well, although it's little used and not very practical, there is absolutely a subway system. As for connection between Cleveland and Chicago, other than by highway or by train, yes, obviously they are not connected. But there is in fact a subway system in Cleveland that fits the traditional (and pedantic) sense of the word, even if it is not massively used by locals (other than on St. Patrick's day, and other large events) 22.214.171.124 09:46, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- It's often hard to realize the distances involved when one is talking about a country or region one is unfamiliar with. In the case of North America, and this semi-fictitious subway system, the distances between the furthest points is about 3,000 miles (about 5,000km); it would generally take about 2 days of highway driving, with no stops, to get from any one end to the opposite other. Randall took real subway maps from different cities, already not to scale, and fictitiously joined them together as if the cities were right next door to each other and really connected. They are not. In most cases, you have to fly, drive, take a bus, or take a regular (non-subway) train if you wanted to go from one city's subway system to another's. -boB (talk) 14:47, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
Hmmm, there is no mention of the 7 or so underground stations in Edmonton, Canada. It is classified as light rail as opposed to heavy rail but still meets the "pedantic rail enthusiasts" definition included under the comic. Quote: For the pedantic rail enthusiasts, the definition of a subway used here is, with some caveats, "a network containing high capacity grade-separated passenger rail transit lines which run frequently, serve an urban core, and are underground or elevated for at least part of their downtown route." For the rest of you, the definition is "a bunch of trains under a city.22.214.171.124 10:10, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
- I suspect the Edmonton, Alberta system got left out for the same reason as the (similarly sized) Buffalo, NY system got left out. The Buffalo system consists of a single line connecting a dozen or so stations below ground and about 5-6 above ground. It fits the "pedantic rail enthusiasts" definition, with the possible exception of being a "network". But more importantly, since it is a single line, I don't think they color-coded it. Without a color-code, where would it hook into Randal's map? Blaisepascal (talk) 14:14, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
In Montreal, the Longueuil station is misspelled as "Longueil". --Prooffreader (talk) 15:32, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
I don't know the other cities' subway maps well enough, but the NYC map has several jokes in it. The "G" line is listed as having "Random service", which is pretty accurate (it's extremely unreliable). The blue and orange lines in Jamaica (a former independent city now part of the boro of Queens) are listed as coming together in "Kingston", which not in NYC, it's the capital of the island nation of Jamaica. There is a fictional "Puerto Rico Submarine" listed as a complement to the real Staten Island Ferry. The (non-existent) connection from Staten Island NY to DC is listed as the "Robert Moses High speed line", in other words, a freeway such as Robert Moses was known for (presumably I-95, although Moses had nothing to do with that). 188.8.131.52 13:57, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
- Just realized that the green line extending north from Hoboken to "Green" is supposed to be the Green Line of the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail which has elevated and subway segments (the rest of the system is at-grade). The real line ends at the Tonnelle Avenue parking lot in North Bergen. It only has service during weekdays (not nights). 220.127.116.11 14:56, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think that's supposed to be the HBLR. If it were, the (larger) part that runs south from Hoboken Terminal would be there too. I think that's just a connection he threw in between green-colored lines. NJT, surprisingly enough for an agency of its size, doesn't have any kind of rapid transit service, so I wasn't expecting to see any of NJT on there. (Except *maybe* the Newark Light Rail, formerly known as the Newark City Subway.) 184.108.40.206 15:35, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
- Strange why the Jay-Z doesn't extend to "Kingston"; they end at Jamaica Center just like the E. Maybe this is a reference to Kingston's actual public transit? I tried looking it up, thinking that maybe Kingston has two subway lines (blue and orange for the E and F), but I got nothing. Bdemirci (talk) 08:27, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
- Speaking of, Randall missed a connection opportunity here since the Orange line of the MBTA ends at "Forest Hills", just like the M in New York. (Maybe because the F keeps going, and there's no way to tell them apart? Plus, it would take an overlap of the lines to match them up.) Bdemirci (talk) 22:17, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
- Well, what the Orange Line continues onto *does* end up going to a Forest Hills... one that's even labeled... 220.127.116.11 15:35, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
Looks like Randall goofed with one of his jokes. West Trenton is one of the final stops on one of Philadelphia's passenger rail lines (SEPTA). SEPTA isn't really a subway as it's only underground in the city center. But he happened to draw it in the "Cleveland" area of the map, and ended up connecting it to Boston's Cleveland Circle. That doesn't make sense since there's no west Trenton in Cleveland. 184.108.40.206 13:57, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
- Philadelphian here. I did a double-take at that one, as I was looking at what Philly's system was hooked up with, then spotted the words "West Trenton" in approximately the same relative position to Philly's subways as it is on the SEPTA map. And then I looked for ways that the West Trenton label might be justified where it is, but I couldn't find any. Also, "SEPTA isn't really a subway" ignores the two real subway lines it does run, plus the subway line run by a separate agency (PATCO) into Philadelphia, plus the subway segment of the trolley lines (which definitely qualify for inclusion if the MBTA Green Line did), all of which are shown. You seem to have been thinking of the commuter rail (Regional Rail) only, which doesn't qualify for the map, period. 184.108.40.206 15:35, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
The comic leaves out the Newark Light Rail (formerly known as the Newark Subway). It's only one line with about 15 stops, but it does connect with the PATH system (which is in the comic) -- JamesCurran (talk) 21:21, 8 April 2013 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Good couple of jokes in the Boston area: 1) The real station of Braintree is accompanied by the fictional stations of Bonevine and Skinflower; 2) Ashmont-Mattapan High Speed Line has conveniently become Ashmont-Manhattan High Speed Line; 3) The Green Line extension currently under development has been rerouted to Canada; 4) The Cleveland Circle Station has become the departure point for the shuttle to Cleveland. 188.8.131.52 14:26, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
The downtown area has the Caribbean Metromover. It's not visible on this map because by scale, the Metromover system's tiny; the stops are only a couple blocks apart. Its actual shape is similar to the icon on weather maps for a hurricane but mirrored horizontally. There is no mention of the unused ghost station at Government Center, surprisingly. 188.8.131.52 20:32, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
I wasn't aware of a town called Sunnydale in the USA. However, whilst researching whether this was a pun to the Buffy Television series it turned out the metro station named Sunnydale actually exists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunnydale_Avenue_Station ... Kaa-ching (talk) 15:44, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
The map shown in this comic is the BART system (Bay Area Regional Transit), not the San Francisco Muni. So, I suspect this is meant as a Buffy reference. Also, Sunnyvale (note the V) is a real town in the SF Bay Area, but it does not have BART service. -- Armckoe (talk) 15:50, 8 April 2013 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Nope, Randall conflates both Muni and BART in this (which is what the whole comic is, really...) On the western part of the SF map, the purple is the the L-Taraval, the Green is the M-OceanView , the blue is the N-Judah, the Red appears to be the T-Third, the orange the J-Church. On the eastern side, tho, the chart looks more BART-ish. Hmmm, I'm going to have to take the N-Judah to the end of the line some day (or at least farther along.) I've always wanted to go back to Vancouver. -> 126.96.36.199 04:49, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
- (The Muni route map is here) -> 220.127.116.11 04:49, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
- I don't like how he merged in the Muni lines though. The Muni map (Not Randal's, I mean the real one in the stations) is not accurate to the actual geography of the lines, it is more of an indication of the relative direction the lines run. Also, the Muni map isfar more zoomed in than the Bart map. Both these factors caused Randal's map to have some oddities, like having the Sunnydale station south east of the airport (And somewhere in the bay I would guess).18.104.22.168 08:06, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Curious that the Sunnydale line connects to San Francisco instead of Los Angeles, considering that the latter is actually depicted in the show and is the setting for the Angel spinoff. 188.8.131.52 00:56, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
- Sunnydale is a real exit along the Muni 'T' line. Also, Buffy's zip code placed here nearish San Jose and Santa Cruz (actually sort of closer to San Jose). This made UC Santa Cruz a possibility for the college they depicted her attending. 220.127.116.11 08:06, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure what prevented the St. Louis MetroLink from making the cut. There are 2 lines (Red and Blue - yes, it's only two, but isn't that still a network?). It's got grade separation in the urban core and other high-traffic areas, it's high-traffic, runs frequently (every 10-20 minutes) and is underground in downtown St. Louis. The only reason I can think of is insufficient grade-separation, but Randall doesn't define a threshold for that. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 16:44, 8 April 2013 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Pittsburgh Light Rail, or "The T", currently has only 2 lines as well, and parts of it are above ground, but I still would have liked to see it make the cut. It gets heavy usage in downtown Pittsburgh. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 19:53, 8 April 2013 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
The "Morgantown WV Automated Line is clearly a reference to the WVU Personal Rapid Transit system. The PRT goes underground for all of about 15', but the whole lower half is elevated. It's also nice that the area attributed to it is approximately the route the PRT does take. An interesting side note - the PRT is not rails. Its a wheeled system that runs on pavement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgantown_Personal_Rapid_Transit Having said that, I'd also like to echo that the Pittsburgh and Newark subways should have been included. I suspect a v 2.0 in the future. {{188.8.131.52 23:34, 8 April 2013 (UTC)|hewhocaves}}

I just noticed that the plane icon for the MIA airport is a paper airplane as opposed for the typical icon used for the other airports. Is this a reference to something? 188.8.131.52 18:39, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
- You must not have left the house during all of 2007. I envy you. http://youtu.be/ewRjZoRtu0Y 22:18, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
- Sounds like a reference to the song Paper Planes by M.I.A. (sometimes written MIA), aka Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam. I think it is her most popular (in a Billboard sense) so far and has charted in countries scattered all over the world. 22.214.171.124 18:06, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
The Seattle monorail is not a loop, so the "Springfield Monorail" is not a reference to it. Also, Randall neglected to include Seattle's own subway that connects downtown to the airport. 220.127.116.11 05:33, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
I liked seeing something actually acknowledge the existence of the Baltimore Metro Subway. It's one of the best-kept transit secrets in Baltimore - a number of lifelong Baltimoreans I know were quite surprised to learn that Baltimore has an actual subway. (The existence of its light rail is much better known.) The green belt by Greenbelt (a Washington Metro station) was a nice touch - there's really no other natural way to connect the Greenbelt and Johns Hopkins stations without forming a loop like that anyway. I'm not sure how pleased Owings Mills will be at suddenly having West Philly one stop away though... 220.127.116.11 15:35, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
- Are you serious, they grew up there and don't know about it? Where do they live? I guess the Johns Hopkisn station is pretty obscure, and they'd have to never see the other two or so and not live in the northwest but still, don't they have friends or family or acquaintences or TV or talk to people or like trivia at all? To tell the truth one of the first things a normal New Yorker would do upon reaching a new city is see what their subway map's like. One line (almost a half of a line, it ends like 1.7 stops past the city center) and a light rail, that's underwhelming. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 21:22, 12 April 2013 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Seems like Randall also flubbed the location of YVR in the Vancouver system. Yes, it's the YVR/Richmond line, but Richmond is the one that goes straight down and YVR branches off to the west.184.108.40.206 03:22, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

MUM'S THE WORD: All eyes — and cell phone cameras — were on Sarah Burton Tuesday afternoon when she popped into Saks Fifth Avenue's flagship for a meet-and-greet in the Alexander McQueen shop.
Personable, unhurried and looking no worse for the wear after what has unquestionably been a work week like no other, Burton chatted with guests about the Costume Institute gala, the Met's new McQueen exhibition and the dress she designed for Catherine Middleton. Even though some guests had been told not to ask anything about the royal wedding, a few could not resist. Ann Lawlor, one of the first to have a word with Burton, said, "She said the princess was one of the most lovely women she has ever met and she was really low maintenance. She said the palace called her and the collaboration between her and Kate was 50-50."
When asked about her own career plans, Meredith Vieira, who was there as a client not as an interview seeker, said she may very well stay on at NBC in some capacity. As for Burton, Vieira was struck by how modest the designer was about her résumé-topping feat. When Vieira praised Burton for her work, the designer quickly said, "All the men looked amazing."
"She immediately deflected the attention from her to the men," Vieira said afterward. "She said she loved the secrecy of it until she kind of blew it by running into the Goring Hotel wearing a fur hood, which was from the last collection."
Burton told Vieira that one of her next moves would be "to take a nice vacation."
As an ardent Burton supporter for years, Saks' president and chief merchandising officer Ron Frasch did so without the monarchy's approval. "Even if Sarah hadn't done the dress, it wouldn't make any difference to us because what she does, she does so exquisitely," he said. "She deserves all the accolades she been receiving. She has been the force there for years."
Saks will keep the spotlight on McQueen with a trunk show planned at the New York store Tuesday and at the Beverly Hills store Thursday and Friday.
NEW FACE: Los Angeles-based retailer Kitson has hired its first chief executive officer from outside the company. Chris Lee, who was senior vice president at Forever 21 and is an advisory partner at investment firm Goode Partners LLC, has stepped into the role that Fraser Ross held since he founded Kitson in 2000. "The business is so big. I have to keep to the creative side, the merchandising, and have someone to run the business," said Ross. He added that he was impressed by Lee's almost decade-long tenure at Forever 21 during which the retailer went from generating around $200 million to $2 billion in retail sales. Kitson has around 10 stores domestically and will grow its Japanese retail network to some eight stores by June. Within the next two weeks, the retailer will also open an in-store shop at Takashimaya in Taipei. Kitson has hired investment bank Greif & Co. to explore strategic options, but Ross said the recent Japanese earthquake and the resulting fallout has slowed the process of deciding upon a partner. "Our global growth pattern can be quite large. We've got interest from all over the world for partners. We are just trying to figure out what to do right now," he said.
ON THE TABLE: Thai conglomerate Central Retailing Corp. made an offer of 250 million euros, or $370.7 million at current exchange, for Italian luxury department chain La Rinascente, according to press reports. The sum, minus 45 million euros of debt coverage, is 10 times the store's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and in line with estimates that had been given by sources earlier this year.
Maurizio Borletti, one of La Rinascente's owners and a descendant of the original founder, did not make an offer but launched arbitration proceedings against the sale, claiming to have ownership rights as he currently holds 4 percent of the company. Though Borletti's latest move could tie up the process for more than a year, national newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore wrote of the deal as if it were a fait accompli, implying that everything could be concluded within a month, the amount of time the current owners have to deliberate on the offer.
FACE FORWARD: Mélanie Laurent has yet another role on deck — as the face of Christian Dior's Hypnotic Poison women's scent. The French actress, singer, director and writer, who's slated to be the Master of Ceremonies for the opening and closing of the Cannes Film Festival this month, is to wear Dior couture creations on the red carpet. The 28-year-old — of "Inglourious Basterds" fame — has more than 20 films under her belt and won a César, the French equivalent of an Oscar, for most promising actress in 2006 for her role in "Je vais bien, ne t'en fais pas" ("I'm Fine, Don't Worry"). Movies she appears in this year include "Et soudain tout le monde me manque" and "Requiem pour une tueuse." Monica Bellucci has been among the other faces for Hypnotic Poison.

YouTube is once again being targeted for widespread copyright infringement, except this time the lawsuit is originating from Europe. Italian broadcaster Mediaset SpA announced today that it was going after Google for at least €500 million in damages, which translates to just over $750 million at today's exchange rates. Combine this with the $1 billion sought by Viacom, and YouTube is looking at the possibility of some serious legal liability.
Mediaset said that it found some 4,600 of its own videos and clips on the popular video sharing site, which the company equates to 315,672 (viewer) days of broadcasting, or more than 325 solid hours of transmission. The €500 million is just the beginning, too—Mediaset said that further damages could be tacked on if the company determines that it lost advertising revenue thanks to the videos being put on YouTube.
On cue, YouTube reiterated that it's not all about copyright infringement and that it respected the rights of content owners. "YouTube respects copyright holders and takes copyright issues very seriously," Google said in an e-mailed statement to Dow Jones and a number of other media outlets. "There is no need for legal action and all the associated costs."
Mediaset's lawsuit comes just over a year after Viacom sued YouTube for "brazen" copyright infringement, demanding $1 billion in damages. According to the complaint, Viacom identified 150,000 of its clips on the service that had been viewed an "astounding" 1.5 billion times. The company accused YouTube and Google of profiting from the posting of copyrighted works and even deliberately withholding filtering technology that could prevent such infringement.
The Viacom suit laid largely dormant up until earlier this month, when a judge ruled that Google would have to turn over 12TB of YouTube data to Viacom as part of the discovery process for the lawsuit. As a result, Viacom will soon find out exactly how many video clips have been removed from YouTube and access data about how many users watched which videos, although the two companies have agreed to let Google anonymize the user data before handing it over out of privacy concerns.
Google has long maintained that it is protected by the DMCA's Safe Harbor clause, which limits the liability of service providers when users post copyrighted content. What's unclear is whether YouTube counts as a service provider, or whether Congress only meant to protect ISPs. If YouTube is a service provider, many believe that a success for Viacom it could have widespread implications across how content is handled across the entire Internet. Both Google and the Electronic Frontier Foundation have made this argument, saying that if Safe Harbor is limited to ISPs, many Internet-based companies (including Ars Technica and any site that has a forum) could suffer or go out of business.
Of course, Mediaset's lawsuit was filed in Rome, where the DMCA doesn't reach. While it won't have implications for US Safe Harbor rules, it still carries with it implications for how strictly video upload sites operating in Europe need to police their users' submissions for infringing material.

Robin Morgan (born January 3, 1941) is a radical feminist, writer, and activist.

- Woman is [...] — finally screwing and your groin and buttocks and thighs ache like hell and you're all wet and maybe bloody and it wasn't like a Hollywood movie at all but jesus at least you're not a virgin any more but is this what it's all about?—And meanwhile he's asking, "Did you come?"
- "Barbarous Rituals", in Going Too Far: The Personal Chronicle of a Feminist, p 110.
- Let's run it on down. White males are most responsible for the destruction of human life and environment on the planet today. Yet who is controlling the supposed revolution to change all that? White males (yes, yes, even with their pasty fingers back in black and brown pies again). It just could make one a bit uneasy. It seems obvious that a legitimate revolution must be led by, made by those who have been most oppressed: black, brown, and white women–with men relating to that as best they can. A genuine Left doesn't consider anyone's suffering irrelevant, or titillating; nor does it function as a microcosm of capitalist economy, with men competing for power and status at the top, and women doing all the work at the bottom (and functioning as objectified prizes or "coin" as well). Goodbye to all that.
- "Goodbye to All That", 1970 in Going Too Far: The Personal Chronicle of a Feminist, p 123.
- And let's put one lie to rest for all time: the lie that men are oppressed, too, by sexism--the lie that there can be such a thing as 'men's liberation groups.' Oppression is something that one group of people commits against another group specifically because of a 'threatening' characteristic shared by the latter group--skin color or sex or age, etc. The oppressors are indeed FUCKED UP by being masters (racism hurts whites, sexual stereotypes are harmful to men) but those masters are not OPPRESSED. Any master has the alternative of divesting himself of sexism or racism—the oppressed have no alternative—for they have no power—but to fight. In the long run, Women's Liberation will of course free men—but in the short run it's going to COST men a lot of privilege, which no one gives up willingly or easily. Sexism is NOT the fault of women—kill your fathers, not your mothers.
- "Goodbye to All That", 1970 in Going Too Far: The Personal Chronicle of a Feminist, p 126.
- I feel that "man-hating" is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them. And although there are exceptions (as in everything), i.e., men who are trying to be traitors to their own male class, most men cheerfully affirm their deadly class privileges and power. And I hate that class.
- "Lesbianism and Feminism: Synonyms or Contradictions?", spring 1973, keynote address to West Coast Lesbian Feminist Conference, printed in Going Too Far: The Personal Chronicle of a Feminist, p 178.
- I claim that rape exists any time sexual intercourse occurs when it has not been initiated by the woman, out of her own genuine affection and desire.
- "Theory and Practice: Pornography and Rape" (1974) in Going Too Far: The Personal Chronicle of a Feminist.
- Pornography is the theory, and rape the practice. And what a practice. The violation of an individual woman is the metaphor for man's forcing himself on whole nations (rape as the crux of war), on nonhuman creatures (rape as the lust behind hunting and related carnage), and on the planet itself (reflected even in our language—carving up "virgin territory," with strip mining often referred to as a "rape of the land").

- [N]o one appeared to wonder whether this S-M proliferation was a lesbian copy of a faggot imitation of patriarchal backlash against feminism.
- "The Politics of Sado-Masochistic Fantasies", in Going Too Far: The Personal Chronicle of a Feminist, p 235.
- Biological determinism has for years struck me as a failure of intellectual nerve. So I don't mean to counter sexist theories along those lines with a mirror-image feminist version. We have as yet no truly value-free science, uninfluenced by masculinist (among other biases) prejudice. Consequently — although on certain bleak days I am sorely tempted to agreement with what we feminists have termed the "acute terminal testosterone-poisoning" theory of patriarchal history — I do not make the argument that women are inherently more peaceable, nurturing, or altruistic than men. (For one thing, this permits men the laziest of justifications for their own behavior.) Yet it is undeniable that history is a record of most women acting peaceably and of most men acting belligerently — to a point where the capacity for belligerence is regarded as an essential ingredient of manhood and the proclivity for conciliation is thought largely a quality of women.

- If we can open ourselves to ourselves and each other, as women, only then can we begin to fight for and create, in fact reclaim, not "Lesbian Nation" or "Amazon Nation"—let alone some false state of equality—but a real Feminist Revolution, a proud gynocratic world that runs on the power of women. Not in the male sense of power, but in the sense of a power plant—producing energy. And to each, that longing for, that right to, a great love filled in reality, for all women, and children and men and animals and trees and water and all life, an exquisite diversity in unity. That world breathed and exulted on this planet some twelve thousand years ago, before the patriarchy arose to crush it.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Josh Norman doesn't believe enough attention is being paid to the situation hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico and is trying to change that.
The Washington Redskins cornerback is donating $50,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs in Puerto Rico and wants to convince other athletes, celebrities, corporations and foundations to donate another $200,000. That's a much smaller scale than the $37 million that Texans defensive end raised for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts in Houston, but Norman said the crisis in Puerto Rico shouldn't be ignored just because it's further away.
"That's why I really took up arms and started to do it because they're ignored so much it's like it's not a part of us, in a way," Norman told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I just feel like they're a part of (the United States) and we need to go over there and give as much support and help as you would if they were right next door to you in your neighborhood. You have to, man. It's only right."
Norman has secured clothing donations from Adidas and plans for the money to be used provide toiletries, clothing and other supplies for the 13 Boys & Girls Clubs in Puerto Rico. Norman doesn't have family members in Puerto Rico but is organizing an aid visit after the NFL season is over.
Much of Puerto Rico remains without power and 15 percent has no running water more than a month after Hurricane Maria. It is the longest blackout in U.S. history, and officials have said the overall hurricane damage could range from $45 billion to $95 billion.
Watt originally sought to raise $200,000 for Houston but was overwhelmed by donations. He said the money will go toward rebuilding child-care centers and homes and providing food and health care to those affected by the storm.
Norman said he isn't trying to compare what he's doing for the U.S. territory of 3.4 million people to what Watt did.
"I was happy for him and what he was able to do and raise the money for Houston because the city really needed it," Norman said. "Big respect to anybody who goes out and helps someone else to try to better themselves in life and try to help out their situations from a struggle. You've got to tip your hats off to that man. … That was big time. I'm just trying to do it on another level."

So, the very funny Yashodhara of Y On Earth Not, has a book out. I expected nothing less from her. Although how she managed three kids, a job and brought out a book, will always be a mystery to me. Titled Just Married, Please Excuse, it is pretty much autobiographical, telling the tale of Yash and Vijay's courtship, and the early years of their marriage. While I've had the pleasure of learning her voice through her blog, nothing prepared me for the book. Kahani mein action hai, emotion hai, aur drama bhi hai. I'll admit I wasn't too excited before I picked it up, because hey, I read her blog… I know how this story ends. But it's a whole different thing to have the gaps filled in and handed to you in the form of a book.
I read it through the night, fully knowing where it was going. And I guess that is the triumph of her writing. It keeps you engaged and amused to the very last page. I'm not going to tell you anymore – so buy the book. What I will do though, is tell you a story of the OA and I, just after we got married. But before that, some stories from the week just before we got married. This is an entry for a contest she is running and since I love Mamagoto's food enough to sell my kids and park myself there for a lifetime, I'm participating in the hope of winning a meal. Yes, I'm cheap like that.
Anyone who has read this blog for a while knows that the OA and I had a rather filmy love story. Dashing Hindu boy meets shy Christian girl. Pursues her until she gives in. Suddenly realises he should have been working on his parents instead of her, but it's too late. Boy's parents dig their heels in, boy decides to follow his heart and the girl. Boy and girl struggle to put him through post grad college and true love triumphs.
This is where this story begins. Convocation was over and as he tossed his cap into the air, I felt a surge of pride. We'd done this without anyone else. A lot of other students had significant others attending, but they also had parents. We were a lonesome twosome with no adults (I still thought of myself as not-quite-an-adult) there for us. Our wedding was a week later so his parents were at the height of their outrage and mine were busy organising the event.
The next day we had a train to catch back to my hometown. Two heavy suitcases dragged to the gate, friends hugging at every step, congratulations being shouted out (he was the first getting married straight off campus), plans being made… and we were late for the train by, oh.. about an hour already.
As the cab pulled in to the station we heard the train whistle. We had it all planned. He'd rush ahead and pull the chain to stop the train. I'd follow with the coolies and the luggage. He raced off and I started running, urging the coolies to keep up. We jumped down on to the filthy tracks, clambered on to the next platform and repeated the exercise until we reached the correct platform. As I clambered on to the last filthy platform, my hands a mess, my teeshirt filthy, the train jerked to life and phlegmatically began to pull out. I screamed for the OA, frantically looking up and down the platform. He was nowhere to be seen. And then I saw him wave in my face as his coach flashed by me. "Throw me that suitcase," he yelled. And I made the coolie throw one in. The train chugged on, picking up speed and I made the coolie throw the next one in to another coach. By now the OA was far ahead, while the other coolie was running alongside, collecting his earnings and giving change. I kept running along, realising (to my horror) that the end of the platform was nigh. I might have made a jump for it but the heavy bag on my shoulder would weigh me down. I needed someone to pull me into the train. But the love of my life, soon to be husband, was riding a train and disappearing into the sunset – without me.
And then, DDLJ style, a hand shot out of the coach and a stranger's voice called my name. It was not the OA's hand – the OA's ugly, stubby fingers cannot be mistaken and this was a beautifully made, strong brown, male hand – but I didn't care. I grabbed hold and the hand pulled me in with little effort, just as the platform came to an end. I gasped in relief and looked up at my rescuer in surprise. Who could he be? He was the OA's batchmate and had taken the liberty to help when he saw me in need. I thanked him profusely and headed off to find the OA and tell him what I thought of being thrown over for a couple of suitcases of books.
Of course, being the OA and I, we were as disorganised as ever and the reservations had been done too late, with the result that we had only one berth to share all the way back. The last couple of days in college had been stressful and he looked exhausted, so I generously forgave him and obligingly squeezed myself into a corner so that he could get some sleep. The hours flew by and we pulled into another station. He opened one eye and I asked him, solicitiously if he'd like a cup of tea. He nodded, turned over and went back to sleep. Telling myself that the poor man needed some TLC, I headed off to hunt for some tea. I found one chaiwala eventually and he was mobbed. I waited my turn and as he handed me my cups, he said, "Madam, isn't that the train you were on?"
Were on??
I turned around to see the train was pulling out of the platform and leaving me behind, for the second effing time that day. Flinging down the hard-earned, steaming cups of tea, I ran along the train again, the speed just that bit too much for me to risk my life. I hoped and prayed that the OA had realised I was not on the train and was looking for me. I should have known better.
Once again, a voice called my name and the now familiar hand popped out. I grabbed without a thought and jumped on to the train. The OA's friend had seen me get off the train and realised I'd not got back on when it started. I pledged my firstborn to him and rushed to wake the OA and tell him of how misfortune was following me. He opened an eye, heard me out and then, disappointment writ large on his face, said, "You mean you didn't get any chai?"
At that moment I deeply regretted not having managed to get the chai. I could have flung it in his face.
And yes, dear readers, I married him inspite of that. Shoulda married the other guy. He's married too, now, by the way. Too late.
But picture abhi baaki hai mere dost.
The night before the wedding we were a raucous household. Family from all around the world was staying at our place and of course the OA too. He had to be, considering he had nowhere else to go. He was part of my mehendi, I was part of his cocktail party. As we called it a night, happy and exhausted, my Uncle who was down from Australia after a gazillion years, recklessly volunteered to make breakfast and his desi favourite, mango lassi for everyone. But he needed some help. The distinct lack of enthusiasm from the rest of the family didn't deter him. Finally, the OA, drunk as a skunk and always up for anything food related, offered to help. Yes, you can always tell which ones are not related to us by blood, because they enjoy cooking. No one in my bloodline is a happy cook! Heck, that's why we live in India and hire people to do it.
Anyhow, he woke up at the crack of dawn and began to help Uncle. I, naturally, after all that train-chasing, was getting some much-needed beauty sleep. An old family friend came by to see us in the early hours of the morning. She was too old to attend the wedding and reception at night, and wanted to wish us in advance.
Ma settled her into the living room and said she'd just sent someone to wake me up and I'd be awake and down in a minute.
The lady nodded understandingly and said, 'What about the groom? Where is he?'
Oh, said Ma, he's in the kitchen.
Right, said the sweet old lady… 'having breakfast, I suppose?'
No, said Ma. She is honest to a fault. "He's cooking it."
It would not be an exaggeration to say the old lady almost fell off her chair."Look, I know his parents are against the marriage, but surely you can't treat him this way because he has no one standing up for him!"
I still split my sides laughing over this one. And yes, of course we cleared that up.
Now while the idea was not to ill treat the OA because no one was standing up for him, we're not the sort of family to stand on ceremony and give him son-in-law treatment either. And that is how he found himself on the railway station with my brother, at the ungodly hour of 4 am, picking up family coming in on a delayed train. Everyone was pulling their share of weight and I don't think either we or he, even considered doing it any other way.
My grandmother and her siblings arrived and my brother introduced the OA by name to them. They weren't particularly enthusiastic in their greeting and the OA and my brother put it down to age and exhaustion on their part. A lazy red glow spread as the sun rose and they drove home in silence until my granduncle asked my monosyllabic brother if he could take him to visit his old college, in our hometown. This is how the conversation went.
Granduncle: I studied in this city, 45 years ago. Do you think you could take me to see my old college?
Tambi: Actually Thatha, we're pretty busy with the wedding arrangement and your college is on the outskirts of the city. We may not get the time.
Granduncle gesturing towards the OA: What about him? Can he take me?
Tambi: No, Thatha, he doesn't know his way around the city. He's not from here.
Granduncle, looking disappointedly at the OA: Oh I see. Is he here to attend the wedding?
Tambi (master of understatement) drawls: I sure hope so.
Yes, yes, granduncle realised his faux pas later, but this story has given us many a merry evening.
And now finally, so that I don't get disqualified on the technicality that I'm not married during these tales, I'll share the honeymoon one.
When I met the OA and fell in love, I was rather in awe of him. He was older, wiser… and I thought he'd take care of me. Yeah, Sound of Music hangover. And to his credit, he mostly does. Except for when he doesn't.
Poor as church mice, we took a bus from Delhi to Manali for our honeymoon. Hopes of a knight in shining armour were dashed to the ground rather rudely as the knight stuck his head out of the bus window and emptied his the contents of his stomach across the hill roads. I watched curiously, wondering how he could throw up more than he'd eaten in the last 6 meals put together. The only explanation was that he'd thrown up his intestines too. But I dutifully got him water, washed his face, begged someone to give us the seat up front and tried to (wo)manfully raise my shoulder as high as I could to give him a head rest. Too drained to care, he slept. Around us other honeymooning couples billed and cooed and necked. I adjusted the smelly puker into a corner and resigned myself to a rather unromantic couple of hours.
Half way through the night the bus stopped. It was eerie. The sounds of the jungle came closer. I woke up and being the nosy person I am, checked out the bus. There was no reason to stop. No roadblock, nothing – and the driver was missing. I waited for someone else to make the first move. Three old ladies, sisters on a holiday together, hobbled off the bus to get an explanation. It turned out that the driver had decided to strike because he was being made to work overtime and not being paid for it. He laid out a blanket off the edge of the road and was snoring before we could say 'Manali.'
The old ladies realised they needed numbers and came back to recruit from the hordes of youngsters in the bus. Shy young brides looked up at their husbands in awe as the men got up and stretched and swaggered, ready to get down and take on the lone driver. One of them called out to the OA to join them. He opened half a bleary eye and chivalrously volunteered, "Let my wife handle him. You won't need to send anyone else," and went back to sleep.
Yes, yes, ladies and gentlemen, I still honeymooned with him. Not just that, procreated and continue to live with him. A silent, suffering woman, that's me. The only good that came of that night, is that we still dine out on that story.

ATLANTA & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) and the Foundation for Mitochondrial Medicine (FMM) announced today that they have awarded $200,000 in funding to James Bennett, M.D., Ph.D. to further research gene therapy of mitochondrial protein in the brains of mice with experimental Alzheimer's disease. Bennett is studying rhTFAM, a novel human mitochondrial protein shown to increase mitochondrial function in cell and animal models. The protein has shown to restore memory function of aged mice while increasing mitochondrial function in brains, suggesting it has great potential to do the same in humans with impaired cognition and early Alzheimer's disease.
rhTFAM was invented and is being developed commercially by Gencia Corporation, located in Charlottesville, Va. Bennett's research will provide critical data to support the use of rhTFAM in the use of humans.
Mitochondria dysfunction underlies many different diseases. The brain is particularly vulnerable to changes in energy use that occur with age or because of underlying disease pathology. Previous research has shown that mitochondrial in the brain are dysfunctional in early stage of Alzheimer's, and these changes contribute to the later loss of mitochondrial function and the onset and progression of the disease.
"Novel therapies that can correct defects in mitochondria functioning have the potential to impact many different diseases," said Bennett. "Thanks to funding support from ADDF and FMM, I'm able to continue my research into one of these novel therapies and determine possible implications for its use in a variety of areas, from early childhood genetic diseases to late-life neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's."
"We are delighted to support Dr. Bennett's research involving the rhTFAM mitochondrial protein and the potential it has to impact the progression of Alzheimer's disease," said Diana Shineman, Ph.D., director of Scientific Affairs for ADDF. "The translational nature of Dr. Bennett's research could have critical applications beyond Alzheimer's disease to other related disorders that affect millions of Americans."
"We are pleased to partner with ADDF and ensure that Dr. Bennett's innovative, translation research is conducted," said Laura Stanley, executive director of FMM. "Our mission is to fund the most promising treatments for the many forms of mitochondrial disease. Research like Dr. Bennett's can unlock potential cures for many related diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Autism, Parkinson's disease and others."
Bennett holds the Bemiss Chair and is founding director of the Virginia Commonwealth University Parkinson's and Movement Disorders Center. Bennett has held several individual NIH grants and has led two multi-investigator NIH Programs. He oversaw projects and directed the NIH-funded University of Virginia Udall Parkinson's Research Center of Excellence for ten years. He has over 140 peer-reviewed publications that have encompassed Parkinson's pharmacology and mitochondrial mechanisms of neurodegeneration. He has held multiple Investigational New Drug (IND) applications and is the inventor of worldwide patents involving use of a novel neuroprotective drug. His current research involves the molecular biology and pharmacology of mitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Lou Gehrig's diseases (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). He graduated from the University of Florida in 1970 with a BS in Chemistry (with Honors). He attended Johns Hopkins University Medical School and received his M.D. degree in 1974 and Ph.D. in Pharmacology in 1977.
About the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF): The mission of the ADDF is to accelerate the discovery of drugs to prevent, treat and cure Alzheimer's diseases, related dementias and cognitive aging. The ADDF has granted more than $65 million to fund nearly 450 Alzheimer's drug discovery programs in academic centers and biotechnology companies in 18 countries. For more information, visit www.AlzDiscovery.org.
About the Foundation for Mitochondrial Medicine (FMM): The Foundation for Mitochondrial Medicine's mission is to support the development of the most promising research and treatments for the many forms of mitochondrial disease. Cures for mitochondrial diseases could impact cures for Autism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Lou Gehrig's disease among others. For more information on FMM funded research such as functional MRI studies on cognitive fatigue and testing of new drug compounds, visit www.mitochondrialdiseases.org

Before we get into the meat of a review that may, we might as well warn you, be more negative than you'd expect, we have to say that we fully applaud EA for releasing its bi-annual licensed international tournament game as an add-on for the superb FIFA 12, rather than a stand-alone game.
Too often the FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro games are simply slightly modified versions of the same game engine with new fancy graphics and fewer features. Not so here, this downloadable content is a reward for die-hard FIFA 12 fans. Of sorts.
Great engine, good looks
Superficially, it ticks the right boxes. For starters, as DLC, it uses the best football game engine out there, one that we proclaimed as, "the closest that a bunch of pixels, polygons and, in effect, spreadsheets can get to emulating a real, bone fide football match than we've ever been treated to before", in our review in September last year.
It also adds some nice new flourishes to graphical presentation, in its rendered stadiums, camera angles and user interface. There are some interesting new modes too, including a career-like expedition mode and challenges that allow you to replay some key moments from tournaments past.
However, it also carries a big bag-for-life full to the brim with caveats, some of which are merely annoying, others inexcusable.
Glitchy and sometimes unlicensed
Minor problems, such as the occasional glitch, the inability to choose your own squad from a larger roster of players - you're stuck with whatever squad is current, downloaded as and when necessary - and the omission of qualification rounds can be overlooked. But, the fact that 24 of the 53 playable teams remain unlicensed - including one of the actual hosts, Ukraine - is shocking.
For those countries that aren't covered by EA's existing FIFPro licence, or signed up individually, made-up player names and approximated kits replace the real-world versions. It makes for a very odd "officially licensed" UEFA Euro 2012 experience when just under half of the content is gobbledygook. If it wasn't for the feeling that your game isn't complete without the DLC, you may as well create a roughly similar tournament in FIFA 12 and save yourself some dosh.Online mode is simple, but more realistic
That said, there are some other aspects that bring things back up a notch or two. Its online mode, for example, allows you to compete in the tournament as you would normally, but with real-life opponents. It's basic, allowing you to play only against random foes and not your chums through party or the like, but adds a variety in game play styles that you'd never get through AI.
Expedition mode too is an interesting addition – a bit like the latest FIFA Street in a way. You start out with a created team full of unknowns and grow it into a squad of international superstars by nicking players from vanquished nations. It's odd (and difficult) playing as what is essentially a pub team and taking on Spain, Germany and Italy, but at least it allows you to start with your Virtual Pro (from FIFA 12) as the captain.
The challenges too, while not exactly unique, are interesting enough for you to come back for more, and you'll definitely want to play through the single-player tournament with different teams to give yourself a test. So there's definitely replay value in UEFA Euro 2012, if not a fully fleshed-out game in its own right.

And thar's the rub. What we most like about UEFA Euro 2012 - the fact that its DLC and not a £50 game you'll only play for the duration of the tournament itself - is also one of its biggest failings. Electronic Arts hasn't put enough effort into putting meat on its bones. It feels distinctly undernourished.
In gameplay terms, it's superb. It is, after all, FIFA 12 with a lick of paint, and that will probably be enough for most. We can't hide our dismay about the lack of licensed teams, but as any PES player knows, you soon learn to look beyond it. And the stadiums and overall presentation levels are excellent.
You'd expect more for your £16 - especially if you consider that there are those who may feel compelled to buy FIFA 12 itself first, which is still roughly £30 in many places – but ask a Tiger Woods fan about DLC charges and you'd realise that this particular add-on is relatively cheap.

Even the smallest appearance of damage can get worse as time passes. While it is imperative to act quickly, you want to make sure you're hiring professionals to inspect the property and clean it correctly. Not doing so means leaving behind hidden damage that will cause you more headaches down the line - Water Restoration Companies [City], [State].
Surfaces that seem to be dry may be damp and humid, allowing mold and rot to grow. When you call our qualified team at IDC, we'll use top of the line equipment and dehumidifiers that can pull all of the moisture out of the air. Even after we remove the damage and dry your home, we will offer many other services to get your property back to its previous condition.
Discards Removal: IDC technicians will remove any damaged goods and materials from your water damage repair and restoration services, so you don't have to.(* denotes anything offered as an emergency 24-hour service) We know from twenty years in the business that handling water damage restoration for Atlanta GA homes and businesses can be an overwhelming and time-consuming process.

Our assessment and restoration plans will also allow you to plan for any storage of belongings that may be necessary, which we can handle for you as well. At IDC, we know from experience that restoration and the recovery of your property that's been damaged can be a long and tedious process.
Sometimes it will be obvious that you have water leaking either behind your walls or onto the ceiling from above. The ceiling or walls may show visible signs of moisture, dripping water, or signs of failing structural integrity. Ceiling drywall panels may sag or crumble under the weight of water that saturates the naturally porous gypsum material.
Before making any repairs, you need to find the source of the water leak. This can be frustrating, but if you don't fix the source of the water problem first, repairs will do you no good. Whether it's a leaky roof, a broken pipe or leaking toilet, it can sometimes be difficult to locate the source.
This means you have to do some exploration and investigation. Remove damaged drywall so that you can better see where the leak is coming from (see Step 2) and so you can dry out the water-damaged space. Depending on how long the leak has gone unchecked, there may be mold present in or on the drywall.
If you do have large amounts throughout an interior area — anywhere around 10 sq. ft (Water Damage Company [City], [State]). — call a professional to have it removed. If only a small amount of mold is present, you can safely remove the mold or the moldy drywall yourself, if you take precautions. Wear gloves, safety goggles and a dust mask so that you don't breathe in the mold.
If drywall panels only show water stains but aren't structurally compromised, they may be repairable by cutting out the damaged portion. When cutting out around the damaged area, use a keyhole saw to cut the hole into a square or rectangular shape (Water Restoration Companies [City], [State]). You can then make a patch with another piece of drywall for the repair.
If you are patching the wall or ceiling, measure the square or rectangular area of the wall that you cut out from . Use these dimensions to cut a replacement piece of drywall to fit, 2" longer and 2" wider than the hole. Lay the replacement piece of drywall on a flat surface with the backside facing up.
This should form a shape the size of the hole. Using a straight edge and utility knife, cut through the backside paper and the drywall gypsum, but not the front-facing layer of paper. Using a putty knife, peel away only the backside paper and gypsum layer. Be careful not to tear the front-facing paper. Flood Cleanup Companies [City], [State].
Holes bigger than 6", up to 12'', require a slightly different process because the patch needs more support. Using a drill, create two small holes through the piece of replacement board. Feed a piece of string through and tie both ends to the middle of a stick. Allow for about 8" of string between the board and the stick.
The stick will be used to hold the patch in place. Twist the stick to apply pressure to the rear of the board. This will steady it in the hole. Apply a smooth coat of cement adhesive around the edges. Insert the patch into the hole and position it so the cement adhesive firmly grips the solid area around the rear of the hole.
This will hold the board firmly in place until the cement adhesive dries. To make it easier to insert the wallboard material through the hole, be sure to hold it at an angle. If you're working with a smaller hole (up to 6"), apply a thin layer of joint compound around the hole.
Using a putty knife, work the paper edge down into the compound. Feather the edges of the compound and allow it to dry. Sand lightly with a fine-grit sandpaper and apply a second layer of joint compound to finish the repair. For larger holes (between 6" and 12"), allow the cement adhesive to thoroughly dry then fill in the area with joint compound.
You may need to apply two or three layers of joint compound to build up the patched area. Always allow each layer to dry before applying another. Let the stick and string remain where they are during the patching process. You can remove both just before the material dries. When the area is completely dry, sand off any high spots using fine-grit sandpaper and a sanding block.
It depends on where the damage is located on the wall or ceiling and how you had to cut it out. For example, if the space where you removed the damaged drywall exposes studs or joists where it will be possible to secure a patch by screwing it into the stud or joist, you can do that.
To replace the whole sheet, remove the damaged drywall completely, down to the studs. Remove the drywall screws that anchored the old sheet to the studs using a power drill. If there was a lot of water damage, this should be fairly easy; the old drywall will most likely crumble away.Flood Restoration Service University City, CA
