Presiding over the Puget Sound region, Mount Rainier has lured adventurers and entrepreneurs to its slopes since the earliest settlers. Visitors rode packhorses or hiked miles to tent "hotels" at Theosophy Ridge, Indian Henry''s Hunting Ground, and Ohanapecosh. James Longmire opened Longmire Springs Hotel near bubbling mineral springs. In 1899, Mount Rainier became a national park, and eventually, a motley array of services was consolidated by the Rainier National Park Company, which built National Park Inn and Paradise Inn. Roads, services, and activities expanded, and guests poured in. Winter activities, such as skiing and tobogganing, increased the park''s popularity. The 1936 Winter Olympic Ski Trials and training for World War II ski troops were even hosted there. Visitors today might be surprised to know that many inns, rental cabins, bathhouses, and other buildings have come and gone, leaving some areas more pristine now than for much of the park''s history.

Zack Delacruz is back—and this time he has a crush! Zach really wants to meet Abhi, the new girl at school. But things get off to a rough start when he accidentally knocks her to the ground during a game of dodgeball. And whenever he tries to make amends, she just ignores him. Nothing works—not his friends’ advice or his “lucky” cologne. In fact, he just seems more and more cursed! Then, at the Fall Fiesta-val, Zack finally learns the real reason behind Abhi’s cold shoulder . . . but not before total chaos erupts. With a runaway train, exploding confetti-filled eggs, and Abhi’s terrifying older brother, will Zack ever get a chance to talk to his crush? In the end, Zack learns what it means to believe, to listen, and to be a good friend. This dynamite sequel captures the middle-school experience—and will keep readers laughing from beginning to end.

Loin d''être parfaits, les hommes et les femmes de la bible n''étaient pas des gens ordinaires pour autant. Dans la foi, certains ont trouvé de la puissance pour diriger. Pour sauver. Pour vaincre le mal. D''autres ont cédé à l''attrait des ténèbres. Mais il fallait plus : un héros ultime. Pour mener le combat ultime.

For courses in Reading Methods, Content Area Reading (Middle/Secondary), and Social Studies Methods (Secondary) American history teachers get the tools they need to teach students to use academic vocabulary and language to read, write, and think like historians. In this new practical professional resource, middle and secondary level American history teachers see how to engage in history in order to ignite student debates over topics or issues; read, write and think like historians to help students organize the domain-specific vocabulary words into ways that make sense; use general academic vocabulary and language to help students explore and learn about the past; and tap into the powerful roots of English to become equipped with the tools to help students become independent word learners for the rest of their lives. After setting the stage for teaching vocabulary in history, 12 independent American history units cover the four stages in domain-specific vocabulary instruction and related core activities and strategies, including building background knowledge, thinking like a historian, connecting vocabulary in context, and assessing vocabulary knowledge. The units parallel eras in American history and the related chapters generally found in American history textbooks. They provide flexibility for use as the teacher sees fit, with an eye to students'' needs and instructional objectives. Three helpful appendices include a look at the big picture graphic organizers customized for teach of the 12 units, three generative vocabulary assessments, and history teachers'' favorite go-to generic graphic organizers and ready-to-use blank templates.

If it weren''t for John Houlding Liverpool Football Club would never have been born. But even Houlding could not have predicted how successful Liverpool FC would become: no English club can match The Reds'' roll of honour at home and abroad: Five European Cup/Champions Leagues, three UEFA Cups, 18 Football League championships, six FA Cups; eight Football League Cups, plus numerous others. The Official Liverpool FC Illustrated History charts rise of Liverpool FC to the very summit of English and European football, from the struggles of the early years in the nineteenth century, through the domination of the late twentieth century, to the great cup successes in the new millennium. It tells the story of a club that is rich in tradition: the famous Boot Room ethic that has permeated every corridor of Anfield; plus the awesome support offered by the Kop, still a hotbead of football fanaticism. This updated edition recalls the deeds of legendary managers such as Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley and Kenny Dalglish, and salutes the achievements of more recent bosses, Gerard Houllier and Rafa Benitez and the current incumbent Brendan Rodgers. It also celebrates the litany of players whose names are etched in Liverpool FC folklore: from Alex Raisbeck and Billy Liddell to Roger Hunt and Kevin Keegan; through Kenny Dalglish, Alan Hansen and Graeme Souness, to the modern legends, Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard and young guns Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling. This is a fascinating journey through almost 125 years of sporting heroics, incredible victories and emotional near-misses; stories of triumph and tragedy; but, most of all, a tale of incredible passion and pride.

After Zack accidentally knocks down Abhi the new girl during dodgeball, he works to make amends and eventually finds out the true reason for her reticence during the Fall Fiesta-val.

"Commercial and recreational fishing are important to the economy and culture of Hawaii. The deep-slope bottomfish commercial fishery preferentially targets seven high value ''Deep-7'' species (i.e, six snappers and one grouper, hereafter referred to as bottomfish). The NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) Stock Assessment Program is responsible for regularly conducting assessments of bottomfish. The stock assessment process requires reliable time-series of catches, fishing effort and life history demographics to estimate stock abundance trends and evaluate sustainability benchmarks. Current bottomfish stock assessments that rely solely on fishery-dependent abundance indices may be biased (Ault et al., 2014). A series of workshops convened in 2001-2005 evaluated existing bottomfish stock assessment methodologies in the Pacific Islands Region (PIR; Mace et al., 2001; Ralston et al., 2004). Mace et al. (2001) noted that the greatest impediment to credible bottomfish stock assessments was the lack of accurate and precise input data. To improve abundance estimates, Ralston et al. (2004) recommended development of a fishery-independent survey using available ''advanced technologies''. A 2005 workshop on Ecosystem Science and Management Planning reiterated the pressing need for a design and implementation of population-level fishery-independent survey to obtain size-structured abundance data for bottomfish, and to aggressively pursue development of length-based assessment models. This goal of this technical report was to improve stock assessments through optimal design and implementation of a bottomfish fishery-independent survey for the Deep-7 bottomfish complex in the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) with three primary objectives: 1. Evaluate the most effective survey gears for obtaining species-specific spatial size structured abundance metrics of the Hawaiian bottomfish stock; 2. Conduct quantitative gears intercalibration studies to determine the relative fishing power of the multiple gears to be used in the survey; 3. Detail the required methodologies for efficient conduct of a multi-gear fishery-independent Survey of the MHI bottomfish stocks"--Executive summary.

"Using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and towed camera system (TCS), deep-sea corals, sponges, and seafloor habitats were visually surveyed for the first time in areas of longtime trawl fishing off northern California. During an 11-day cruise aboard the R/V Point Sur 8-18 September 2014, researchers completed 6 dives with the AUV and 9 deployments of the TCS, and spent over 42 hours underwater at depths of 586-1169 meters from the Oregon- California border to the Mendocino Ridge (...) This report provides a summary of the methods and results from these underwater surveys of DSC&S off northern California. This was a collaborative effort among investigators from NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (Southwest Fisheries Science Center, Northwest Fisheries Science Center [NWFSC], Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center [PIFSC], and Alaska Fisheries Science Center [AFSC]) and several universities including California State University (Humboldt State University and Moss Landing Marine Laboratories), University of California Santa Cruz, and Oregon State University"--Page 1.

Abstract: Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) perform various task that are essential for tumor growth, angiogenesis, metastasis, and tumor invasion. Growth factors, chemokines, cytokines and the extra cellular matrix in the tumor microenvironments signal the TAMs to perform these tasks. The tumor microenvironment is not homogeneous and can be classified into several distinct regions such as sites of tumor invasion, perivascular, hypoxic and stromal regions. Each of these sites likely has different cytokines and signaling molecules in their microenvironment that might signal and direct the function of TAMs. The purpose of this project is to isolate and analyze TAMs from distinct tumor regions to gain a better understanding of the mechanism behind the specialized role of these TAMs. As a first step towards this goal, micro array analysis was conducted on flow sorted TAMs and developmental macrophages expressing yellow fluorescence protein (YFP). Micro array data from age matched developmental macrophages was compared to TAMS from early, premalignant stage of breast cancer, and late stage metastatic breast cancer to find the genes which were upregulated in TAMs versus developmental macrophages, and in late stage TAMs versus TAMs from the earlier premalignant stage of breast cancer. From this list of genes upregulated in TAMs, candidate cell surface macrophage markers that could be used to classify TAMs based on there association with one of the distinct tumor microenvironments was selected. These candidate markers will be used to visualize macrophages associated with different regions within the tumor microenvironment using immuno-staining of tumor sections. In preliminary work, CD16 was selected as one potential candidate gene that was upregulated late in tumor development compared to earlier stages. Immunostaining indicated CD16 was expressed on a set of macrophages near blood vessels near the tumors, but not in macrophages located within tumors. Further evaluation of these markers would facilitate isolation of different subsets of macrophages within tumor and understanding the function of these macrophages in tumor microenvironment. Another major cell group involved in all the changes in the tumor microenvironment discussed is the fibroblast. Originally the fibroblast inhibits the growth of the tumor. However through natural selection tumors evolve to change the microenvironment and like wise the function the fibroblast are performing to aid in tumor progression rather than suppress tumor progression. These fibroblast reprogrammed by the tumor cells are called tumor associated fibroblast TAFs. TAFs aid in tumor progression by angiogenesis, immune suppression, and matrix remodeling, providing growth and anti apoptotic factors and aid in metastasis by recruiting TAMs. A key gene involved with this is IKK. It is our hypothesis that ablating IKK in the fibroblast will lead to a reduction of tumor growth.

League champions 18 times, FA Cup winners six times and League Cup winners six times. It''s a record that makes Liverpool the most successful English Club. In Europe the tally is also huge: UEFA Cup winners four times and European Cup winners a massive four times. To look at the players that have worn the famous red shirt is to wander through a historical who''s who of world football: the story of Liverpool Football Club is rich in success and glory, but it is also rich in tradition: the famous bootroom ethic permeates every corridor of the Club; the Kop, despite its modernisation into an all-seater stand, still offers a fanatical support that, many claim, is worth a goal start.
