As we work to improve population health outcomes, there is an increased emphasis on actively and meaningfully engaging with community partners in research. The collaborative partnerships that form the foundation of this type of research are critical to the success of our efforts to improve health outcomes.
Successful research partnerships encompass more than just the research itself. There are a host of administrative and fiduciary responsibilities involved in the management of federal grants that fund a substantial portion of health-related research in the United States. Academic researchers have access to significant resources when dealing with these responsibilities (such as the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Office of Sponsored Research), but community partners frequently do not have comparable infrastructure designed to support these research endeavors.
When members of Congress return to Washington at the end of this month, we are hopeful they will recognize there is a mutual and national benefit to working together to pass an omnibus package for Fiscal Year 2017 that includes robust investments in the National Institutes of Health and National Cancer Institute.
We are quite fortunate in North Carolina to have three NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers, a distinction achieved by conducting basic, clinical and population-scale cancer research. As the directors of those centers, we know firsthand that strong and sustained investments in the NIH and NCI drive the meaningful progress in cancer research and discovery that enables our caregivers to provide better and more effective cancer care.
Our three cancer centers have a history of making groundbreaking discoveries that improve our ability to prevent, diagnose and more effectively treat cancer. . . Read more at The Heard Sun.
Biomedical researchers have created and used animal models containing human cells for decades to gain valuable insights into human biology and disease development. For example, human tumor cells are routinely grown in mice to study cancer disease processes and to evaluate potential treatment strategies. To advance regenerative medicine, it is common practice to validate the potency of pluripotent human cells – which can become any tissue in the body – through introducing them into rodents.
With recent advances in stem cell and gene editing technologies, an increasing number of researchers are interested in growing human tissues and organs in animals by introducing pluripotent human cells into early animal embryos. Formation of these types of human-animal organism, referred to as "chimeras", holds tremendous potential for disease modeling, drug testing, and perhaps eventual organ transplant. However, uncertainty about the effects of human cells on off-target organs and tissues in the chimeric animals, particularly in the nervous system, raises ethical and animal welfare concerns.
The first randomized clinical trial in medicine, whose influence is still felt today, celebrates its 70th birthday this year.
It's true that some will look back to much older clinical trials—Dr. James Lind's on a British ship in 1747, or even King Nebuchadnezzar's around 550 B.C., as recorded in the Bible in the Book of Daniel, both of whom tested the effects of different diets on different groups.
But I found, while working on another article in this blog on first-in-human trials in the UK, that what is considered the first randomized clinical trial in medicine was the control trial of streptomycin to treat pulmonary tuberculosis, which was begun in 1946 by UK's Medical Research Council, with Sir Austin Bradford Hill as statistician.
Hill is credited with instituting randomization in clinical trials.

Transatlantic flights from Cork Airport on cards after Iceland move
By Eoin English
Irish Examiner Reporter
Follow @EoinBearla
An Icelandic low-fares airline has swooped in ahead of a competitor to offer cheap transatlantic flights from Cork Airport, via Iceland, to North America.
WOW air began selling tickets yesterday for its new year-round service from Cork to Reykjavik, starting on May 19 next, with fares from €59.99 each way including taxes and charges.
The airline will use Airbus A320 aircraft to operate four flights a week — Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday — during the summer season, and three weekly services during the winter season, adding an additional 66,000 seats available from Cork Airport next year.
However, the service will give passengers flying from Cork the option of connecting directly from WOW's base at Reykjavik's Keflavik International Airport to Boston, Washington, DC, New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, Montreal, and Toronto, with one-way fares from €149.
The news comes as low-cost operator Norwegian Air International (NAI), which announced plans last year to launch direct transatlantic flights from Cork to Boston and New York, still awaits a decision from the US authorities on its foreign carrier permit.
A spokesman for Norwegian welcomed WOW's arrival at Cork Airport.
"Norwegian fully believes in healthy competition among airlines as the best way to improve the quality, cost, and choice available to all passengers. We remain fully committed to launching our own direct transatlantic routes from Cork as soon as we're able to," he said.
Cork Airport managing director Niall MacCarthy said they were delighted with the WOW announcement, but remain committed to securing the NAI routes and delivering a second low-cost transatlantic carrier for its passengers.
WOW air chief executive Skúli Mogensen said the airline is looking forward to developing its service out of Cork. "As a significant business and leisure hub in Ireland, we have ambitious targets for our Cork services and we look forward to working with Niall and his team to develop these exciting new routes," he said.
Niall Gibbons, chief executive of Tourism Ireland, said it is looking forward to co-operating with WOW air, Cork Airport, and other tourism partners to maximise the new service.
Cork Chamber praised the airport management team for securing the new route, and the connectivity to North America that it will provide.
"Not only will this service provide affordable leisure tourism opportunities between the southern region and Iceland, the route also serves Munster with direct, low-cost connectivity to North America which has long been a strategic ambition for Cork," said chamber chief executive Conor Healy.
European Affairs Minister Dara Murphy said the increased connectivity to the US will provide a great opportunity for the IDA to further market Cork to US companies as an alternative to Dublin for investment.
European Affairs Minister Dara Murphy
Iceland, famous for the Northern Lights, its hot springs, volcanic landscape, Gullfoss waterfall, and Thingvellir national park, has become a hugely popular tourist destination and has regularly featured in travel publications' top 10 lists.
Founded in November 2011 by Mr Mogensen, WOW launched a Dublin-Reykjavik service in 2015 and operates seven flights a week from the capital.

Thorntons issues profit warning as sales melt
The chocolate retailer says it'll just break even during this financial year. Presumably it hasn't had a good festive period, then...
by Emma Haslett
Oh dear, looks like Thorntons isn't going to have a particularly sweet Christmas. The chocolate retailer has just issued a profit warning, saying it only expects to break even when it posts its annual results in June 2012. For a company that should, by rights, be trading at its peak over the festive season, that's very bad news indeed. But Thorntons reckons it's nothing to do with bad management, and is all down to circumstances beyond its influence. No wonder shares are down by just under a third...
At 70 words long, the warning didn't go into much detail, but the company blamed weak consumer confidence and 'heavy promotions' - ie. when sales were low, it started slashing prices, which may have brought in customers but have clearly put its margins in a situation stickier than a bag of Special Toffee. That break-even figure also excludes what Thorntons likes to refer to as 'onerous leasing charges', or the fact that it still has to pay leases for some of its closed stores. Which it understandably isn't happy about.
To be fair to the company, breaking even is much better than the pre-tax loss of £1.1m it made in the year to the end of this June (although that's in comparison to a profit of £6.1m during the previous year). But presumably it's going to keep going with its strategy of moving away from the high street and into supermarkets and online, closing 180 shops over three years in the process.
Now of course, we know Thornton's isn't the only high street retailer whose sales are softer than an advent calendar on a radiator. But the chocolatier is one of the worst affected retailers on the high street, feeling the squeeze through 2010, when there were still signs of recovery. So this might have less to do with consumer behaviour than the fact that the model is, well, a bit outdated. Let's hope those rescue plans work out.

Could a runaway celebrity cow replace the late Paul the "oracle" octopus as the next animal with the ability to foretell the fortunes of Germany's national soccer team?
German football fans were delighted that Yvonne the cow's decision to tip Portugal to beat Germany at the Euro 2012 soccer championship in the Ukrainian city of Lviv on Saturday turned out to be wrong.
Yvonne shot to fame in Germany last year after she escaped from a farm where she was due to be slaughtered and roamed free around Bavaria for three months, eluding the farmer, hunters, animal activists, Ernst the bull and even her best friend.
Paul, the mystical mollusk correctly predicted the outcome of all matches involving the German team in the 2010 World Cup, including defeat to Spain in the semi-finals by choosing to eat from one of two containers placed before him. One container carried the German flag and the other the flag of the opposing national side.
The bolting bovine was offered a choice of troughs decked out with national flags on Friday and ate from the Portuguese one, Germany's radio Bayern 3 reported. However, she also swiftly moved on to the German trough.
Germany won the match 1-0.
Since Paul's death in 2010 at the age of almost three, a ripe old age in octopus terms, Germany has been scouring the animal kingdom for a worthy successor.


If only you could turn back time. With a home, it's actually possible. For Elizabeth and Roger Gomez, owners of Bridge City Contracting, their work on a decades-old rental property didn't just make shabby into chic but added to the revitalization and thoughtful conservation happening in one of Portland's most important older neighborhoods.
The Gomezes have had the opportunity to buy and refurbish two houses in the Woodlawn neighborhood while working within historical property constraints. Their most recent project is the masterful transformation of a rundown rental into a home reflective of the grace and quality of Woodlawn's historic roots and bright future. Built in 1985 by the Portland Development Commission, at a time when Woodlawn was struggling and large pockets of the neighborhood had been abandoned, the original building was constructed for utility and had been a rental for three decades.
To the exterior, Bridge City Contracting added a new covered entry to invite neighborhood interaction and leveled the front yard creating a blueprint for future extended outdoor living and gardening space. The exterior lighting, entryway and post box have a retro flair.
Inside, the Gomezes continued to explore the themes of connection to place by choosing some of Portland's best local brands for finishes and fixtures – including the reclaimed floating wood shelves in the kitchen and laundry from Salvage Works, up the street from the home. A combination of on-trend utilitarian-style fixtures from locally founded Rejuvenation Hardware and warm woods and creamy tiles from Portland's Pental Surfaces give the home a glow worthy of a gentler era.
Not only have earth-friendly and sustainable products been chosen throughout the home, but "they have been styled to reflect the nature we revere in the Northwest," Gomez said. The braided leaf-pattern tile on the kitchen backsplash is from a certified B-Corp company, Fireclay Tile. Its content is 70 percent recycled with no added chemicals in the clay or glaze. The decorative and durable porcelain tile in the laundry has a GREENGUARD certification. Other sustainability features include a tankless hot-water system, low to no VOC paints and new high-performance siding.
The great outdoors isn't just represented inside through design – it's invited inside through a clever reworking of access to the backyard.
The home now hums with all the charm and ease one finds popping up all over Woodlawn – restaurants, shops and amenities designed to elevate an idea of Portland steeped in eclecticism, inclusiveness and craft. Gomez hopes it will be the perfect fit for a family looking to become an integral part of this growing and thriving community.


Being the latest actor to take on the high pressure role of portraying the son of God, Ewan McGregor says when he agreed to star in "Last Days in the Desert" he decided not to focus on the Divine nature of Jesus Christ.
The movie will open on May 13 and tells the story of Jesus Christ being tempted by the devil while wandering in the desert for 40 days. Instead of focusing on Yahushua, or Jesus in Hebrew, as a higher power, the 45-year-old McGregor, who also plays Satan in the film, explained how he got into character.
"When I stopped reading and I just started to think about a man who was communicating with his father, and was frustrated with the lack of response, that's when I found Him," he said.
While the Scottish actor focused on Jesus as a human being, he also didn't ignore the Messiah's Divine nature when taking on the role.

Home/Uncategorized/State Rep Jay Livingstone Proposes Bill To Let Convicted Killers Out On Parole After 25 Years
State Rep Jay Livingstone Proposes Bill To Let Convicted Killers Out On Parole After 25 Years
Aidan KearneyApril 18, 2019
Fox 25 News: A new proposal would drastically change prison sentences by eliminating life without parole sentences for convicted first-degree killers. The new bill calls to outlaw the mandatory Massachusetts sentence and allow every inmate to be eligible for parole after 25 years, no matter the crime.
"I don't understand how they can come up with these ideas like this," said Bob Curley.
Curley is the father of Jeff Curley, the 10-year-old boy abducted, raped, and murdered in 1997. The facts were so shocking, Mass. came within one vote of reinstating the death penalty, even though it would not apply to the two men convicted: Charles Jaynes and Sal Sicari. Twenty-two years later the state still has no death penalty, but there is now a move to outlaw the state's harshest penalty.
"It's an insult to people who have been victims of serious crime."
At the State House, Boston 25 News reporter Bob Ward tried to talk to the people behind the bill, but he didn't get very far. Needham State Rep. Jay Livingstone is sponsoring the bill. We were told he was unavailable to talk to us and would not issue a statement. Ward spoke on the phone with Annette Presti from her Florida home. In 2004, her daughter Joanne and granddaughter Alyssa were murdered in Joanne's Woburn home. Their convicted killer, Michael Bizanowicz is serving life no parole, a sentence that could be cut, if this bill passes.
"I am totally outraged with the legislators. I can't believe they would even come up with something like this," said Presti.
EXCLUSIVE: New Massachusetts bill seeks to outlaw Life No Parole for 1st Degree Killers. Replace w/Parole Hearings after 25 years. Families of murder victims Jeff Curley, Joanne and Alyssa Presti, outraged. My story @boston25 6pm #truecrime pic.twitter.com/Sg73hxqAlB
— Bob Ward Boston 25 (@Bward3) April 16, 2019
This is everything that is wrong with Massachusetts. People who take the lives of innocent people shouldn't get a shot at a second chance, since their victims weren't afforded that privilege. The worst part about this bill is that it forces the families to relive their trauma after 25 years, and then every 5 years after that. They're forced to confront this evil person who destroyed their lives and give a victim impact statement in front of a parole board filled with people that some bleeding heart politician put there because it was their turn to get a government job. The pain stabs them in the chest over, and over, and over again, and all so this waste of space can feel good about himself and award himself the social justice merit badge of honor.
How sick and twisted do you have to be to think this is a good idea? How removed from reality do you need to be? Obviously the people behind this bill have never had to deal with a family member being killed, and they likely don't represent areas in which a lot of people are killed. If they did then they'd see the pain in the eyes of family members who were forced to bury a child who was raped and murdered by an animal with no soul. Instead they want to release them so they can kill more people, because these idiots are so naive, and have watched so many movies and VICE propaganda films, that they believe they can be rehabilitated.
Newsflash – no one cares if they are rehabilitated. They don't get that option. They should be thankful they didn't get the death penalty, because that's all they deserve.
This is cowardly State Rep Jay Livingstone.
He cares about this bill so much he hid from the media and wouldn't comment on it. Fox 25 News reported that he's from Needham, but according to Ballotpedia and his own website he lives in the Back Bay and has the shortest commute to work of all legislators.
Probably one of the wealthiest districts in Massachusetts with not a lot of murders. It's politically homogenous, so he's never had anyone actually run against him.
Thus he thinks he can do whatever he wants, like propose bills to release people who rape and murder children. He probably doesn't see a lot of violence like that while taking romantic walks to the Esplanade with his wife.
We live in the Back Bay and we love to take walks around our neighborhood and take trips to the Esplanade and the Museum of Science among other places.
According to him, 25 years is a "significant punishment."
So it's all good.
On his website he makes the case for why this is a good idea:
California made such a change and the recidivism rate for those released was 2%, which is incredibly low.
Translation – we released killers back into the wild and some of them committed more crimes. Crimes that never would've taken place if we kept these animals in the cages where they belonged.
I don't care that 98% of killers didn't commit crimes after being released from jail, because they never should've been given that opportunity in the first place. And what do they want, a cookie? For not committing a crime after being released from jail on a murder conviction? You're not SUPPOSED to get arrested. It's pretty easy to go an entire lifetime without knowing what it feels like to be put in bracelets.
The guy in the State Senate he cosponsored this with is Joe Boncore.
If that name sounds familiar we blogged about him in July because he's good friends with quite possibly the most racist ratchet in Massachusetts – drug dealing, wannabe gangsta Robert "Henry Pills" Ciampi.
So it's not exactly shocking to see this scumbag aligning himself with violent criminals. Many of them are his close friends.
Feel free to reach out to Jay Livingstone to let him know your feelings about this bill:


Our travels took us from fancy restaurants to humble holes-in-the-wall, spacious grocery stores to cramped-looking trucks baking in the merciless sun. And wherever we went, we eschewed burritos, tortas, enchiladas or other more complicated creations, because our mission was clear: finding the finest tacos in town. And here they are.
The Flavor: The menu includes chorizo nachos – I've never seen those two of my favorite words combined that way, I'm going to have to go back for that, but in the meantime we tried borrego, asada, al pastor, barbacoa and a breakfast taco with chorizo, potato, egg and cheese … we got a little carried away because everything was so fresh and good, especially the rich, lingering flavor of the al pastor and incredibly melt-on-the-tongue barbacoa. Honestly, this place is outstanding; Alex Reyes only opened it a few months ago, but it became one of my go-to lunch options on the spot. Give it a shot, soon.
The Cost: $2.50 apiece, and that's a steal.
The Flavor: Try the barbacoa, the al pastor and the pollo – with two words of warning: The tacos are fresh enough that they're extremely hot when they come out, and speaking of heat, the creamy salsa verde has a wonderful flavor but plenty of oomph. It looked like a single person was cooking, working the register and acting as carhop while we were there, so much respect to the one-man show – I don't even like eating in my car, but I'm happy to make an exception for Tony's.
The Flavor: I didn't love the breaded beef of the Milanese – a little dry – but the carnitas are savory, we appreciated the option of fish and the pollo is moist and flavorful.
The Cost: $1.35 apiece. With this tiny price and size – they're basically taco sliders – there's every reason to indulge in experimentation.
The Flavor: We tried one of each taco, for … um … a better photo. Yes, that sounds plausible. Standouts are the al pastor's nice smoky flavor and pineapple, the barbacoa's marvelous texture (with a little bit of char on the tips) and lingering "mouthful of meat" flavor – but, and I almost feel bad for recommending this, I liked it way more without the avocado. Removing it allows the beef more of the spotlight on your palate – and the seared ahi tuna, which is a little less conventional but delicious, especially with the wallop of sriracha aioli.
The Cost: $4 apiece, mostly. The tuna is $8, but you should try it anyway.
The Flavor: Pollo, asada, carnitas, al pastor Small, a few bites each, but super fresh, delicious and benefiting from a surprisingly nice presentation for a walk-up truck window – the foil-covered plate also holds pickled carrot slices, a grilled jalapeno and little containers of red and green sauce. BTW, the carnitas were especially nice.
We were back on the road in no time, and as we drove away we had one of those "that was good" [pause] "that was really good" conversations that indicates there's nothing crazy about heading this way.
The Cost: Can't argue with one solitary dollar a pop.
The Flavor: The asada, the carnitas and especially the piquant al pastor are wee little things, but each a fresh, tasty couple of mouthfuls. Don't skip the habanero sauce.
The Cost: $1.25, which makes the diminutive size no problem.
The Flavor: Asada, al pastor, lengua. We were told the chicken is choice, but they were out that day. I felt as though the lengua might have been chopped just a little fine, but relished the other two, especially that fragrant steak.
The Cost: Simplemente $1.50 each. Me gusta.
The Flavor: Highlights of its quite ample options include the cochinita pibil and chorizo. It's almost a pity the tacos are so large, since it cuts down on your ability to sample everything … but return trips are always a possibility. It's a nice setup with welcoming ambiance – it doesn't look like much from passing by on 23rd, but you'll be glad you stopped.
The Cost: An already unreasonably low $1.50 much of the time, reduced to a ridiculous $1 on Tuesdays.
The Flavor: Four possibilities, and the street tacos helpfully come four to an order; it's almost like kismet. The asada is fine, but I'd steer you toward the well-spiced chorizo, the slightly tangy al pastor and especially the pollo, which is the best chicken we had. Our order was topped with a scattering of fried potato slices and onions, too, which were so good they didn't survive cooling to a more reasonable temperature.
The Cost: $7 for the quartet; it doesn't take much in the way of math skills to see Little Knight's is very much worth a drive.
The Flavor: Carnitas, lamb barbacoa, ground beef, skirt steak in a guajillo chili sauce. The crema and crunchy shell do fantastic work in the ground beef, but the star is the layered, excellently balanced carnitas; there's a lot going on in each bite from succulent pork to pickled onion to pineapple, and each bite rewards lengthy savoring.
The Cost: $8-$9 per order, each of which contains two big tacos. Comparatively pricy, thoroughly delicious.
The Flavor: Pollo, al pastor, barbacoa. They're pretty big and stuffed full, to the point that they're actually kind of a mess to eat because it's hard to get the tortillas closed around all the meat piled in there. If there's a Spanish word for the savory morsels that fell out of your taco and you wind up trying to discreetly eat with your fingers afterward, this would be a good occasion to use it. The sauces are both very good, too, especially the sizzling green.
The Cost: It's a great deal for $2 apiece.
The Flavor: Pollo, al pastor, barbacoa, tripe. We ate beef intestine and lived, it was fine and juicy, and the al pastor is very good, but mi dios the barbacoa. It's so supremely smoky and savory with a little almost-crunch in the beef from doneness … we might have caught them on an especially good day, but it was a marvel.
The Cost: The idea of getting something this mouthwatering for only a dollar a shot (they have a 4 for $4 special on tacos) seems fundamentally unfair, a life hack of the highest order. I'm not actually going to sell my house and move to the west side just to be nearer to Sanchez, but if you hear of anything available, let me know.
The Flavor: Barbacoa, deshebrada, bistek … and my notes at this point simply devolve into an embarrassingly long string of exclamation points after the word bistek, but these steak morsels stewed in green chiles are amazing.
I will say that this was one of the only times we encountered a language barrier, but your patience in communicating will be immediately and amply rewarded. Highly recommended (thanks to Greg Horton for the tip).
The Cost: Given the size and the nearly sublime taste, $2 is an amazing bargain.
The Flavor: Pollo, al pastor, asada, carnitas … options similar to dozens of other places, but good across the board – little touches such as green chile in the asada, spicy rub on the pollo and lightly toasted corn tortillas make a difference.
The Cost: $5 for a four-pack.
The Flavor: A classic carne asada, rich, smoky chicken mole and beautifully tender pork belly with a zippy kimchi slaw. All three are more savory than spicy, but that's easy to change if you're in the mood: Throw a dash or two of Field sauce on there (that's the green one, driven by Serrano peppers) and you're good to go.
The Cost: $4.35-$5 apiece – pricier than many, but the ingredients are both a little more eclectic and carefully sourced for premium quality.
The Flavor: Lengua, barbacoa, chorizo that was delicious if a bit runny and a great al pastor, not afraid to be spicier than many we tried and with an excellent presence.
The Flavor: The jamon (bits of ham) and salchicha (a chopped hot dog) were not really my speed, but their takes on the classics of pollo and al pastor are sound, and I am delighted to have found the rich shredded goat. That's good stuff.
The Cost: It's a sign that the south side is a taco paradise when the tag of $2.30 is a bit higher than its surroundings – but amply worth it and a very good call.
The Flavor: Tacos de carne come in a double shell for extra crunchiness, and are a solid choice even if I wish the shredded beef had a little more flavor. But get the tacos pioneros for the texture; it's a lot like a quesadilla, pillowy soft with a hint of toasted crisping around the circumference and lots of gooey melted cheese to cushion the accompanying strips of sautéed onions and peppers you should definitely stuff it with.
The Cost: Each set of 3 is $11.
The Flavor: If you're looking for veggie options, Revolucion can hook you up. The cauliflower is a satisfying mouthful (in that it doesn't taste like the raw vegetable) with a little sweetness from the pineapple. The shrimp is tasty, too, but the best thing we had was the lengua, whose presentation did its exceptional tenderness justice by staying simple: just a smattering of onions and avocado. Squeeze a jolt of lime juice on and enjoy.
The Cost: $3-$4 each, and they're not particularly large – for drinks and a snack, go nuts, but if you're very hungry it might not be my first choice.
The Flavor: The chicharron didn't wow us, but that might be our fault for expecting it to be crispy. No complaints at all about the asado de puerco or juicy deshebrada, though. Mmm.
The Cost: $1.69 for corn tortillas, $1.89 for flour. I don't know why the disparity, but it's minimal.
The Flavor: However, you should also know that the right answer includes the crispy'cado's spicy fried nuggets of creamy avocado hunks. I've never even tried avocado toast, partially because I don't see why you wouldn't deep-fry it and put it in a tortilla with salsa instead of smearing it on grilled bread – this might be the best possible way to eat your vegetables (although technically, avocado is a fruit). Beyond that, I generally get the savory tidbits of Rita's chicken, the tender green chile pork and the pineapple-powered fried shrimp.
The Cost: $3.75, give or take 50 cents. The variety and execution are worth it easily.
The Cost: At $1.29 apiece, don't stop 'til you get enough.
The Flavor: The deshebrada, bistek, barbacoa and al pastor are all pretty good, but I think the standout is the chorizo – the spice doesn't hit you right away but comes in nice and strong with subsequent bites, and they cooked it long enough that it's a delectable heap of crunchy bits.
The Cost: An extremely manageable $1.30 apiece.
The tender hunks of slow-stewed beef in the guisada are very good, though for richness and pure "I'm so glad I put this in my mouth"-ness, I don't think you can beat their cochinita pibil's pork.
The Cost: Take your pick; it's all $3.50.
The Flavor: Fish taco with elote and broccoli. The cod filet is done very well, flaky with a crisp breading and a kick from the chile aioli drizzle; I also appreciated the little extra texture and balance from the pickled onion.
If you're in the neighborhood or can manage to be, don't overlook the chorizo and scrambled egg Iguana taco at brunch.

Die Evangelische Kirche in Geiß-Nidda, einem Stadtteil von Nidda in Oberhessen, ist eine dreischiffige frühgotische Dorfbasilika mit romanischem Westturm und einschiffigem hochgotischen Chor mit Fünfachtelschluss. Sie gehört nicht nur zu den wenigen gotischen Pfeilerbasiliken in Oberhessen, sondern ist für eine Dorfkirche außergewöhnlich groß und aufwendig gestaltet. Die Kirche ist wegen ihrer geschichtlichen und wissenschaftlichen Bedeutung hessisches Kulturdenkmal.

Geschichte
Die Kirche zu Geiß-Nidda wird urkundlich 1234 zum ersten Mal erwähnt, als die Abtei Fulda die Kollatur innehatte und die Kirche als Besitz beanspruchte. Zwei Jahre zuvor wird der Name des Patrons Nikolaus in einer Votiv-Schrift im Zusammenhang mit Elisabeth von Thüringen genannt, deren Verfahren zur Heiligsprechung im Gange war.

Die Kirche wurde 1336 vom Bistum Mainz verwaltet, als ein Pfarrer bezeugt ist. Im Jahr 1435 wurde sie zur selbstständigen Pfarrkirche erhoben und gehörte seitdem zum Archidiakonat von St. Maria ad Gradus im Erzbistum Mainz.

Seit Einführung der Reformation ab 1526 gehört sie im Landgrafentum Hessen zur Evangelischen Kirche. Als erster evangelischer Pfarrer ist Johannes Koberger (1559–1574) nachweisbar. Die Kollatur ging mit der Reformation auf die hessischen Landgrafen über. Im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert entstand ein langer Streit über das Präsentationsrecht der neuen Pfarrer, das die örtlichen Herren von Rodenstein 1616 und 1656 für sich beanspruchten, ebenso erfolglos die Kruge von Nidda 1665 und 1714, denen das Lehen übertragen wurde, und 1757 die Familie Rencker als deren Rechtsnachfolger.

Zu Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts geriet die Kirche in Verfall und wird berichtet, dass die "sonsten sehr schöne gewesene Kirche … in großer Gefahr stehe, ehe man sichs versiehet, übern Haufen zu fallen". Eine Instandsetzung folgte 1710. Im Jahr 1867 wurde der Turm saniert, die zugemauerten Fenster freigelegt. Die Fenster der Kirche wurden erneuert und die Chorfenster mit ihrer Glasmalerei wiederhergestellt. Zudem erhielt die Turmuhr drei neue Zifferblätter und neue Zeiger. Eine Renovierung im Jahr 1895/1896 beinhaltete die Trockenlegung der Kirche und die Beseitigung fast der gesamten Kirchenausstattung, einschließlich der Emporen, der Orgel und des Ofens. Die rechteckigen Fenster wurden wieder in spitzbogige umgestaltet.

Die Kirchengemeinde ist pfarramtlich mit der Evangelischen Kirche Bad Salzhausen verbunden. Sie gehört zum evangelischen Dekanat Büdinger Land in der Propstei Oberhessen in der Evangelischen Kirche in Hessen und Nassau.

Bauphasen

Die Kirche in Geiß-Nidda entstand in neun Bauphasen und wurde mehrfach renoviert. Gesichert ist die Datierung 1205 für den Bau des zweigeschossigen Turms, dessen zweites Geschoss mit Rundbögen als Klangarkade versehen ist. Die Westseite des Turms diente als Eingang, der östlich in einer rundbogigen Türöffnung zum Kirchenraum hin seine Fortsetzung fand, die mittlerweile zugemauert ist. Um 1215 wurde der Turm um ein weiteres Geschoss mit Rundbögen erhöht.

In der zweiten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts wurde nach einem Planwechsel Richtung Osten eine dreischiffige Pfeilerbasilika errichtet, deren flach hervortretende Strebepfeiler Kennzeichen frühgotischer Bauweise sind. Der Turm befindet sich seitdem nicht mehr in der Mittelachse, woraus geschlossen wird, dass die Basilika ein vergrößerter Neubau war, der einen schmaleren Vorgängerbau ersetzte. Der Eingang von Norden her erhielt ein spitzbogiges Portal.

In der ersten Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts wurde ein Chor erbaut und ihm anschließend an der Nordseite ein Sakristeibau angegliedert. Der Chor wurde bis 1367 durch einen neueren Bau ersetzt. Der Turm erhielt 1445 eine achteckige Spitze mit vier Giebeln. Das Gewölbe im Mittelschiff wurde um 1500 fertiggestellt. Um 1570 wurde die Glockenstube im Turm höher verlegt. 1710 wurde im Zuge der Renovierung der Dachstuhl erneuert.

Renovierungen
Bei einer Renovierung im Jahr 1895 erfolgten der Ausbau der Seitenemporen, der Umbau der rechteckigen Fenster in Haupt- und Seitenschiffen in spitzbogige, die Anfertigung eines Kirchenfensters und der Kirchenbänke für den Innenraum. Die Bänke und das Fenster wurden im Zuge der Renovierung 1993 in die örtliche Friedhofskapelle eingebaut. Eine weitere Renovierung fand 1959 statt. 1991 folgte der Einbau einer Heizung. Bei der Renovierung 1993 wurde versucht, die gotischen Elemente, die durch spätere Einbauten (Emporen, Kanzel) an Wirkung verloren hatten, wieder zur Geltung zu bringen – auch durch das Wagnis der Farbgebung.

Architektur

Die in etwa geostete, kleine dreischiffige Basilika aus Bruchsteinmauerwerk ist am südwestlichen Rand des Dorfes auf einer Hügelkuppe weithin sichtbar errichtet. Das Mauerwerk ist außen und innen weiß verputzt, wobei Bögen, Gewände, Gewölberippen, die Eckquaderung und andere Gliederungselemente aus rotem Sandstein ausgespart sind. Das repräsentative Gotteshaus besteht aus drei Baukörpern: dem romanischen Westturm, der frühgotischen Basilika und dem spätgotischen Ostchor.

Der dreigeschossige Westturm auf querrechteckigem Grundriss mit Eckquaderung aus rotem Sandstein hat zwei Obergeschosse, die durch ein umlaufendes Gesimsband gegliedert werden. Die gekuppelten Fenster in beiden Obergeschossen haben Mittelsäulen und werden von einem Halbkreisbogen überwölbt. Der vollständig verschieferte Turmhelm aus der Zeit um 1445 hat ein vierseitiges Glockengeschoss in Fachwerkbauweise mit paarweisen hochrechteckigen Schallöffnungen. Aus den vier Dreiecksgiebeln, an denen die vier Zifferblätter der Turmuhr angebracht sind, entwickelt sich ein oktogonaler Spitzhelm, der von einem Turmknauf, einem verzierten Kreuz und einem vergoldeten Wetterhahn bekrönt wird. Das Westportal stammt aus spätgotischer Zeit.

Die Pfeilerbasilika hat im Westen zwei viereckige Pfeiler und im Osten zwei Rundpfeiler mit je vier kleinen Säulen, die als Dienste für die Gewölbe aufsteigen. Mittelschiff und die zwei Seitenschiffe sind dreijochig. Der harmonische Gesamteindruck im Inneren wird durch die breiten rechteckigen Gurtbögen bestimmt, die die Joche der Basilika voneinander trennen, und durch die Scheidbögen des Mittelschiffs, die gedrungene Spitzbogenarkaden bilden. Die Gewölbe sind in den Seitenschiffen teils ohne Rippen oder mit einfachen gekehlten Rippen, im Mittelschiff mit Birnstab-Profil. Die Rundpfeiler mit ihren für das 12./13. Jahrhundert gebräuchlichen Kapitellen mit floralen und figürlichen Ornamenten wirken auch durch die Farbgebung, für die man sich bei der letzten Renovierung 1993 entschieden hat. An den Langseiten werden die Gewölbe der Seitenschiffe und des Mittelschiffs aufgrund der mächtigen Mauern des Langschiffs durch nur flache Strebepfeiler gestützt.

Das frühgotische Stufenportal an der Nordseite aus der zweiten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts ist mehrfach abgetreppt und hat Knospenkapitelle und spitze Archivolten unter einem Wimperg. Das originale Figurentympanon wurde aus konservatorischen Gründen in den Innenraum an die Westwand im Südschiff verbracht; im Nordportal befindet sich eine Kopie. Die Darstellung ist ungewöhnlich: Christus am Kreuz im Zentrum, rechts daneben, dem Betrachter zugewandt, steht dort, wo sonst Johannes, der Jünger Jesu, erscheint, eine Gestalt im Messgewand, die an die Darstellung eines Klosterabtes erinnert, in Heiligenmanier, wohl der hl. Nikolaus, rechts davon kniend eine Stifterfigur, links vom Kreuz, dort, wo sonst eine der drei Marien  steht, eine Gestalt, dem Gekreuzigten zugewandt, mit Trauergestus. Sie dient offenbar als Identifikationsfigur für die in die Kirche Eintretenden. Die weitere Bestimmung dieser Figur ist unklar. Es könnte sich der Kleidung nach auch um einen Mönch handeln, sodass die beiden Gestalten neben dem Kreuz die klösterliche Verwaltung widerspiegelten.

Die fünf Schlusssteine im Gewölbe sind unterschiedlich belegt und zeigen von Ost nach West: im Chorraum das Haupt Christi  und einen nimbierten Vogel mit Schriftband in den Klauen (Adler: Symbol des Evangelisten Johannes), im Mittelschiff das Lamm Gottes , einen Ring mit einer lateinischen Inschrift (übersetzt und ausgeschrieben: "Im Jahre des Herrn 1500 unter dem Pfarrer Nicolaus Scriptoris") sowie eine Rosette.

Der hochgotische Fünfachtelschluss hat stark ausgebildete Strebepfeiler, die ein Kreuzgratgewölbe mit Hohlkehlen-Rippen stützen, die auf Konsolen ruhen. Die zwei- und dreiteiligen spitzbogigen Maßwerkfenster im Chor erhielten 1867 eine Glasmalerei im Mittelfenster. In den Vierpässen des Spitzbogens wurden Petrus, Johannes und Paulus ergänzt. An der Nordseite wurde die Sakristei angebaut, deren spitzbogiges Portal übernommen wurde. Möglicherweise stammen Rippen und Kämpfer des Gewölbes noch aus dem 13. Jahrhundert.

Ausstattung

Eine Skulptur des hl. Sebastian mit einem Lendenschurz und schlichtem Mantel, aber ohne Pfeile, stammt aus der Zeit um 1450 und gehörte ursprünglich wohl zu einem Altar. Sie wurde im Turm gefunden, ab 1890 in der Sakristei aufbewahrt und 1993 bei der Renovierung der Kirche restauriert und im nördlichen Seitenschiff platziert.

Eine spätgotische Madonnenskulptur in einem hölzernen Schrein an der Westwand des Mittelschiffs unter der Orgelempore wurde um 1500 gefertigt. Sie steht unter einem durchbrochenen vergoldeten Rankenwerk. Im Hintergrund ist ein Gewölbe mit Maßwerkfenstern zu sehen. Die Skulptur scheint ebenfalls Bestandteil eines Schnitzaltars gewesen zu sein.

Der Taufstein aus rotem Sandstein ist an der Schwelle zum Chorraum aufgestellt. Eine Schale ruht auf einer Säule mit einer achtseitigen Basis. Eine Umschrift nennt das Jahr 1660 als Entstehungszeit.

In der Südwand des Chors ist eine Nische mit einem Dreiecksgiebel eingelassen, die ursprünglich für einen Priesterdreisitz diente. Im Jahr 1913 wurde hier eine Gedenktafel nach einem Entwurf von J. W. Kleukens aus Darmstadt für die Gefallenen von 1870/1871 angebracht.

Bei der Renovierung 1993 wurden die neugotische Kanzel durch ein Lesepult und das Kirchengestühl durch Einzelstühle ersetzt.

Orgel

Die heutige Orgel ist die fünfte in der Kirche. Im letzten Viertel des 17. Jahrhunderts wurde erstmals eine Orgel eingebaut, die als ein "geringes Werk" bezeichnet wurde. Es wurde 1745 von einem Positiv mit vier Registern abgelöst. Johann Friedrich Syer sollte 1758 eine Reparatur ausführen und bescheinigte dem Instrument eine minderwertige Qualität. Johann Andreas Heinemann aus Gießen baute 1772 eine neue Orgel mit neun Registern. Ein Vorschlag von Johann Georg Förster im Jahr 1852 für einen Erweiterungsumbau wurde nicht ausgeführt. Erst 1894 löste ein zweimanualiger Neubau mit 13 Registern auf mechanischen Kegelladen von Förster & Nicolaus Orgelbau auf einer hölzernen Westempore die Heinemann-Orgel ab, die auf lediglich 400 Mark geschätzt und nach Affolterbach verschenkt wurde. Das heutige Instrument wurde 1967 von Lotar Hintz im Mittelschiff auf einer kleinen Empore an der Wand des Westturms montiert. Die zweimanualige Orgel verfügt über 13 Register. 1994 wurde sie generalüberholt. Die Disposition lautet wie folgt:

 Koppeln: II/I, I/P, II/P

Grabstein
Für den am 21. Oktober 1785 verstorbenen "Herrn Johann Wilhelm Ruehle von Lilienstern, Erb- und Gerichtsherrn zu Geisnidda, Herr zu Geissenbach" wurde von seiner Erbin ein Grabmal an der Kirche errichtet. Geissenbach ist eine Wüstung im Markwald Berstadt.

Patriots and Eagles Fans Share Excitement Ahead of Super Bowl LII
Posted on February 3, 2018 February 3, 2018 by SLNTV
By: Marissa Watts
13 years ago, the New England Patriots defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 in Super Bowl XXXIX. This year, Super Bowl Lll will be a rematch between the two for the Lombardi trophy in Minnesota. The Patriots have won five Super Bowl championships, including two in the past five years. They have been under the direction of what's being called the "dynamic duo," which consists of head coach Bill Belichick and star quarterback Tom Brady, since 2000. Together, they have made magic. Brady was drafted to the Patriots in 2000, the same year Belichick was hired. Since 2001, Belichick has led the Pats to a winning record for 16 consecutive seasons. He has 26 postseason wins under his belt and 14 AFC division titles which are both the most in NFL history. Brady also holds the title as the quarterback with the most championship wins in history. Together, their run is one of the best the NFL fans have ever seen which makes it hard for anyone to 'bet against Brady.' Patriots fans are accustomed to being in the Super Bowl, so they are geared and ready to win their sixth ring with Brady.
Eagles fans, on the other hand, are excited beyond control after this year's fairytale season. Head quarterback Carson Wentz led the Eagles to the best season they have had since 2004. That was the last time they were in the Super Bowl, battling against the Patriots. Wentz impressed fans in only his second season leading the Eagles to a 12-2 record before he tore his ACL against the Rams in week 14. The starting quarterback was out for the rest of the season worrying fans that the best season they've had in over a decade would go out of the window. Second string quarterback, Nick Foles, had another plan of action. His very first game this year, he threw four touchdowns against the Giants and continued to produce after that. He thoroughly impressed fans by knocking out the Atlanta Falcons, whom the Patriots beat in the Super Bowl last year. The fairytale did not end there for Foles. The Eagles then went on to knock out the Minnesota Vikings 38-7. Foles threw for 352 yards completing 26 out of 33 passes giving his fans confidence that he can and will produce moving forward to the Super Bowl.
Some are saying it is the year of "The Goat" and others are saying it is the year of the fairytale. Will Tom Brady win his sixth NFL championship? Or will the second string quarterback lead the Eagles to their first ever championship? There are also the fans whose teams are no longer competing and women around the world who just love the atmosphere of the Super Bowl. The parties, the drinks, the commercials are all involved in one of America's favorite Sundays of the year.
