Bead Opus, located on North Tower Avenue, has evolved since the business first opened its doors in June. Owners Travis Pollanz and Eric Pollard said they thrive on appealing to a broad spectrum of people. From asteroids, meteorites and fossils, to essential oils and candles, the store seems to have a little bit of everything. “We use the phrase ‘leave the rules at the door’ because we want things to be a creative envi- ronment where individuals really have the opportunity to embrace their creativity and embrace the potential of anything,” Pollanz said. The evolution and willing- ness to change has inspired the store, which originally just sold beads and jewelry, to offer a larger variety of items, including work from five Centralia-based artists. “It’s always changing and

With three more touchdowns against the Cardinals, he pushed his to- tal in the second half of the sea- son to 25 touchdowns with only two interceptions. Extrapolate that over the course of an entire season, and it would be a ridiculous 50-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio. With Wilson playing at that level, and the defense again limiting opponents to the few- est points in the league (for the fourth consecutive season), the Seahawks are worthy successors to the team’s two most recent predecessors. The Seahawks who enter this postseason have an edge on the last two clubs, having the experi- ence gained in the previous play- offs. They know what it takes to win a Super Bowl, and have learned how to lose one, too. “We know we’ve still got a lot of football to play,” receiver Doug Baldwin said. “This gives us momentum, but sometimes that’s overrated.” The upset loss to the Rams last week, in its own way, was im- portant, too, Baldwin said. “It wasn’t all bad, in the grand scheme of things,” Baldwin said.

NFL Jets Blow Playoff Chance With 22-17 Loss By The Associated Press ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The New York Jets aren’t going to playoffs. Their FitzMagic ran out against none other than Rex Ryan and the Buffalo Bills. A year af- ter being fired by the Jets and taking over in Buffalo, Ryan got his revenge by thwarting the Jets’ hopes of making the playoffs for the first time since 2010. Ryan’s high-priced and much-criticized defense closed the game by inter- cepting Ryan Fitzpatrick on each of New York’s final three posses- sions in a season-ending 22-17 win Sunday. The Jets (10-6) needed a win to clinch a postseason berth. And they were eliminated from contention shortly after the final whistle blew in Buffalo, when the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-6) advanced with a 28-12 win at Cleveland.

Big Incentive, Small Response Donors of Blood Stem Cells Hard to Find, Despite $800 in Pay SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Re- search Center has one of the larg- est programs in the nation to col- lect and sell stem cells, essential to research to fight deadly diseases. But even though donors are paid up to $800, program direc- tors say it can be difficult to find people willing to give. Dr. Shelly Heimfeld, a scientif- ic director at the Hutch and Seat- tle Cancer Care Alliance, runs the 16-year-old program. Last year, about 100 local donors provided billions of cells to more than 100 researchers from as far away as Germany and Singapore, he said. “It doesn’t make money, but it does allow us to recover costs,” he added. Blood stem cells were first identified in the early 1960s and launched a new era of research. Like other cells, they can copy themselves, differentiate into spe- cialized cells and undergo cell death. Those attributes make them critical research tools for scientists. Investigators studying dis- eases as diverse as cancer and sickle-cell anemia have relied on the cells collected by the Seattle research center. The nonprofit Hutch program collects the cells and provides them to dozens of researchers across the country. They’re also available from commercial producers at a higher cost. A single vial of CD34-posi- tive cells, a type of stem cell vital cells, Heimfeld estimated. From for research, could cost $2,500 those, scientists can request spe- from a commercial provider.
