Comply with legislation
Regardless of where a company manufactures, assembles or sells a product, they are connected to a global supply chain. Products are increasingly subject to different regional regulatory and reporting requirements in terms of their composition. The rules are quickly changing with more information being required than a simple compliance declaration from a Tier 1 supplier.
The problem requires a supply chain solution where the information starts with the material manufacturer and is passed along to companies in the supply chain, while maintaining security and confidentiality. HP has developed the Compliance Data Exchange (CDX) www.cdxsystem.com to globally collect material and substance data through supply chains in different industries to assist companies in complying with various reporting requirements.
What is in your product?
In today's increasingly complex world, every industry is faced with challenges to comply with environmental legislation where their product is made or sold. Most of these directives require companies to have knowledge about what is in their product, down to the substance level. Missing information or inadequate reporting may result in a ban from the market or legal prosecution.
The company that produces the final product may be far removed from the companies that produce the basic materials in the product. The process of gathering data, as well as keeping it safe and uniform throughout the product's lifecycle, involves the entire supply chain and requires a global approach. The data gathering process is lengthy and time-consuming, especially when no standardized data, tools and processes are used.
CDX enables compliance for the manufacturing industry
CDX helps manufacturers create, receive and evaluate information from upstream suppliers that is necessary for the creation, reporting and maintenance of compliance data in order to comply with international regulations related to hazardous materials management and content reporting. With CDX, manufacturers are assured their compliance data management is:
Environmental laws are affecting a growing number of companies in various industries. The number of laws and substances that should be declared is expected to increase in the future. A few of the laws and related industries are depicted here.
Distributed information
The material information required for compliance reporting is distributed throughout the supply chain. It can be a tremendous challenge to collect and aggregate the information at the final product level. This challenge exists in all industries. However, analysis and reporting must be tailored by industry to comply with industry-specific laws.

Melvin Manhoef is Prepared for LEGEND 2 Invasion Tournament
- Written by Dave Walsh
Melvin "No Mercy" Manhoef will make his way back into the ring on November 8th in Russia for LEGEND Fight Show, as on their second event he'll participate in a -93kg tournament. Our friend Adenane from Staredown.nl caught up with Manhoef to get his thoughts on the upcoming fights. Interestingly enough, Manhoef has not stepped into a Kickboxing ring since January of 2012, as he's mainly been fighting MMA fights in the meantime.
It will be a welcome return to Kickboxing for Manhoef, known as one of the hardest punchers around and an absolute knockout artist within both the sports of Kickboxing and MMA. Here is a look at the tournament lineup for November 8th.
- Kickboxing Tournament -93 kg
- Zabit "Mowgli" Samedov vs. Melvin "No Mercy" Manhoef
- Kickboxing Tournament -93 kg
- Sahak "Hak" Parparyan vs. Pavel "Caiman" Zhuravlev

You really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013
get your dog out and TRAIN! caryalsobrook 2013
Give it a day or two without any pressure (collar pressure).... you will still have to pinch if you get a refusal. It'll give you a chance to review 3 handed casting and give a the dog a bit of a mental break at the end of conditioning. Don't be afraid to help with body english and IDing etc. CC is obviously a stressful time and sometimes I think it helps to let them have a day or two to digest before you start the Ind. press. intro. Don't skip the step and move on, but at the same time, don't rush it and dig a hole. I can't stress enough how important it is to make sure the dog is getting plenty of marks in the field. (Birds if at all possible)

Its not a burn it a nick to remind them calm down pay attention.
I did it where I was literally on top of the dog. The farthes away my body was before a cast was 2 feet. There is no separation between handler and dog
the only problem I think this step is meant to correct is to get the dog to slow down and focus on the handler. 99% of the very few nicks I had to give were him anticipating my cast. Simple "no, here pulling rope back to you, sit nick" to reinforce the sit if he repeated the offense back to back. Shopping the pile wasn't ever a big deal for us, nor refusals as the bumpers were in plain sight and we had just finished walking collar fetch and I used the command fetch while moving towards a pile

Agree with Howard - all this 'burning' what happened to encouragement and 'simplify' 'simplify'?
If you play their game train the way they train
My take on this: Something tells me that there is more confusion than anything else. I personally have resorted to "simplify", maybe even "oversimplify". I would simplify,change location, reteach, and make sure the dog understands the behavior that is wanted before I would add the pressure. I have Lardy's material and when I read it I just get the feeling that he makes sure the teaching end is understood but I must admit I haven't looked at his stuff for a while.

Yum! Brands (YUM) has promised investors that its China business would get better. If today's earnings report is anything to go by, management knows what it is talking about.
Yum reported earnings of 56 cents a share during the second quarter, above analyst forecasts of 54 cents a share, according to FactSet. Revenue dropped 8% to 2.9 billion, below forecasts for $2.93 billion. China, though still terrible, is getting better. Sales at existing stores dropped 10% in June, following a 19% fall in May.
"KFC sales and profits in China were significantly impacted by intense media surrounding Avian flu, as well as the residual effect of the December poultry supply incident," said Yum's CEO David Novak in a press release. "The good news is that China sales are recovering as expected. The extensive media surrounding Avian flu in China has subsided and same-store sales at KFC are clearly improving."
Yum's shares have edged up 0.3% to $72.55 in after-hours trading. It's stock has gained 9% this year.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy is trying to light a fire under his senior frontcourt guys, and his other senior, Nick Williams, is providing the kindling.
The Rebels play at Texas A&M tonight at 6 in danger of losing for the fourth time in five games if some things don't change, namely defensive focus.
The game will be seen on CSS.
Last Thursday, the Aggies (14-9, 4-6 SEC) defeated the same Missouri team that throttled Ole Miss over the weekend but proceeded to score just 46 points in a 52-46 loss at Georgia on Saturday.
Ole Miss (18-5, 7-3 SEC) is trying to get more from Murphy Holloway and Reggie Buckner.
"I think going into the game Murph was leading the league in rebounds per game and Reg was in the top five. That's what they have to do for themselves and for us to be successful," Kennedy said.
Missouri was plus-18 in rebounding against Ole Miss, and Holloway was limited to one rebound. He remains the SEC's leading rebounder, but his average has dropped from 10.9 per game following the SEC-opening win at Tennessee to 9.7 per game.
Holloway and Buckner have been held below their averages in three of the last four games, all SEC losses for the Rebels who began conference play with six-straight wins.
Buckner has been efficient, shooting 53.3 percent in the three losses, but has gotten off only 15 shots.
Kennedy called out Holloway after the losses to Kentucky and Florida when he was 9 for 30 from the floor.
Both players had big games against Mississippi State, a physically overmatched opponent, but they were dominated at Missouri when Tigers center Alex Oriakhi had 22 points and 18 rebounds.
Williams had another word for it.
"We didn't come out with the right mindset, and they punked us," Williams said. "I was surprised we weren't more physical than they were. The big thing is we've got to be tougher. We got punked a little bit down there. Oriakhi was way more physical than us, and the outcome of the game showed it."
In conference play Texas A&M is the No. 5 rebounding team at plus-3.5, Ole Miss the No. 8 team at minus-0.4.
The Rebels have also played this stretch without sophomore Aaron Jones, a key post reserve lost for the season with a torn ACL. That plays in the back of the minds of Holloway and Buckner and has at times limited their aggressiveness, Holloway said.
"If they're not aggressive, they're not affective. They have to be aggressive," Kennedy said. "They have to be aggressive offensively for us, and they have to do what they do best, and that's rebound the basketball."

Have you tried CodingBadly's loopback test?http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,73748.0.html
I just tried it, and it failed the test. The RX LED flashes when I send something, but the TX doesn't, so I get nothing back.(by serial monitor he did mean the thing that pops up when I press CTRL+SHIFT+M in the Programming environment, right?)
Yup, that is the one. Okay, try this. Download FLIP and install:http://www.atmel.com/tools/FLIP.aspxLeave the software closed after install and plug in the Uno and short the Reset and Gnd pins on the Atmega8u2/16u2:This should cause a new device to be found in Windows. Manually navigate the wizard to Program Files\ATMEL\FLIP 3.4.7\usb for the .INF file for your DFU. After the installation is complete, open FLIP and then post back here which driver installed (Atmega16u2 or Atmega8u2).
There should be a 3x2 header in that location next to the USB socket.

Cabrera ties Hamilton in HRs; Tigers beat Twins
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Miguel Cabrera hit a three-run homer to move into at least a tie for the lead in all three triple crown categories and Justin Verlander struck out eight in seven innings to help the Detroit Tigers stay in front in the AL Central with a 6-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.
Cabrera's blast in the eighth inning off Casey Fien was his 43rd home run for the year, moving him into a tie with Texas star Josh Hamilton for the AL lead. He also leads the AL in batting average (.327) and RBIs (136) as he looks to become the first player since 1967 to lead the league in all three categories.
Verlander (17-8) allowed four hits and one unearned run to drop his ERA to 2.64 for the Tigers, who moved two games ahead of the Chicago White Sox in the division.

Congratulations if you have just found out that you are pregnant! You're excited, curious, and at the same time you may even be fearful of the process of childbirth. For the majority of Americans, this process is only briefly explored in high school during a sex education week. After that, the dialogue takes a hiatus and seems to abruptly resurface as soon as you realize you are pregnant. Regardless of whether you are a single mother, have a loving & supporting partner or a scared-silly partner, there are always support and resources available to you. It's never too early to start preparing for childbirth, and in this case, the sooner the better. Here are my top 10 tips to help you prepare for childbirth.
1. Choose Your Doctor or Midwife Early On in Your Pregnancy
Take your time and interview yours and your baby's primary care practitioner. Do not feel obligated to select a practitioner because they were recommended to you by your insurance provider or a colleague. You need to feel comfortable with your practitioner, and they need to answer all of your questions and respect your wishes. Be aware that should it be necessary, it is possible to switch doctors or Midwife during your pregnancy. Click here to see a great list of questions you should ask while interviewing practitioners.
It is important to have your pregnancy monitored, especially in the early stages, to obtain an accurate medical assessment of your pregnancy's progress. It's important to make sure that your placenta is healthy, and your blood pressure is normal. Should there be any abnormalities, early detection allows for more time to address concerns.
2. Educate Yourselves: Read Relevant Books and Sign up for Classes
Refresh your knowledge of childbirth and begin to connect to your body and growing baby. Visit your local library, borrow books from friends, or purchase such books as Ina May's Guide to Childbirth by Ina May Gaskin or The Complete Book of Pregnancy & Childbirth by Shelia Kitzinger. Research local available childbirth education classes, Lamaze and Bradley Method courses and sign up for whichever approach and course works best for you.
Explore the various laboring options such as birthing at home, in a hospital or at a birthing center. Begin to ask questions and take the appropriate measures to solidify your labor environment.
3. Create a Pregnancy Journal
Whether you prefer to write or type, it is very helpful to journal or blog what's going through your head during pregnancy. By clearing your thoughts or addressing your concerns before labor begins, you will be helping yourself and your baby. In childbirth, unsettled thoughts and emotions can rise to the surface and form mental blocks. Such blocks can hinder the process of labor and induce complications with heart rates and tension. These complications can lead to interventions such as C-sections. So if you had a fight with your partner, are upset because your mother can't be with you during childbirth, whatever it is, write it out. This is especially important for victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence.
Taking the time to write about your pregnancy allows you to connect with your baby, your inner strength and personal joy. It can be a wonderful collection of words to revisit in the future.
4. Maintain a Healthy Diet
A good diet is extremely important for both you and your baby throughout pregnancy. Sustaining a healthy diet, sustains a healthy pregnancy which enables a mother to perform at her highest level during labor. Marathon runners do not load up on cheeseburgers, fries, and shakes before a big race, right? A pregnant woman only needs an extra 100 to 300 calories per day for her growing baby. A good balance of protein, calcium, fats, carbs, vitamins, folic acid and iron is essential for your body to operate at its peak performance.
5. Exercise
Exercise is EXTREMELY important throughout pregnancy. Strengthening your core, building endurance and stretching out your achy joints throughout your pregnancy will help you out tremendously during pregnancy, labor and postpartum. Women who exercise during pregnancy get back to their pre-pregnancy weight and activity levels more quickly than those who do not.
6. Get Enough Rest
Getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night, and if needed, a nap during the day is key. Your body needs to restore itself daily for it is being required to work harder than normal. One does not have to be pregnant to know that being tired causes us to be cranky, achy and weaker than usual. You want to be as rested as possible to endure your labor. Labor can be a 4 hour event, a 12 hour event, or even a 30+ hour event.
7. Establish a Good Hydration Routine
Drinking at least 9 glasses of water per day is essential for you and your baby's health. Water helps to build new tissue & carry nutrients to your baby, it keeps your baby floating in its cushion of amniotic fluid, and prevents the uterus from contracting before its time. Dehydration may cause preterm labor, so carry your eco-friendly water bottle around with you.
8. Connect & Talk with Your Partner, Friends, Family and Community
If you are able to do so, have a conversation with your own mother and ask her to tell you her birth story. You can become inspired and learn about potential hereditary tendencies that may occur in your own birth. Often a mother's mother has a similar birthing style and patterns.
Speaking with other mothers and partners about their birth experiences can be such a valuable educational tool as well. It can help you and your partner create your birth plan. You will hear stories that will touch and inspire you, while others may horrify you. Learn from them all.
9. Interview and Find a Labor Doula
A doula provides continuous labor support for a mother during her labor. A doula is like that of a coach/cheerleader/advocate. You two are the players who will be on the court. Any questions and concerns about the process of labor, the orders the medical staff may call out, etc. – your doula is there to help guide you and give you the emotional and physical support you need during labor. To learn more about doulas, click here.
10. Create Your Birth Plan
After you have researched, taken classes, and talked with others, you and your partner are now able to create or finish your birth plan. A birth plan is not a checklist of everything that you want to happen, or has to happen. It is more so a very necessary exercise which will prepare you for your labor experience. Here is an interactive birth plan tool to get you started.

What a great list! My husband and I are trying to get pregnant and it's so helpful to read things like this, so thank you!
great list. I would add watch the documentary "the business of being born" make informed decisions about your health care
Great post! No matter where you intend to give birth see THE BUSINESS OF BEING BORN! It may challenge your preconceived notions about childbirth and help you know the different options and choices you have in your prenatal care and birthplan whether at home, a birth center, or a hospital. Certain choices can help you avoid a cascade of unnecessary interventions and a c-section. At 27 weeks I changed my birthplan and I couldn't be happier with my safe, healthy, and empowering home birth and pre- and post- natal midwifery care.
"Birth is a miracle, a rite of passage, a natural part of life. But birth is also big business. … The film interlaces intimate birth stories with surprising historical, political and scientific insights and shocking statistics about the current maternity care system. … Should most births be viewed as a natural life process, or should every delivery be treated as a potentially catastrophic medical emergency?"
"…I was afraid to even witness a woman giving birth, let alone film one. I had never pronounced the word 'midwifery' and I thought Ricki [Lake] insane, as she planned the birth of her second child, for passing up an epidural in a hospital delivery. But as I did the research, I discovered that the business of being born is another infuriating way medical traditions and institutions – hospitals and insurance companies – actually discourage choice and even infringe on parents' intimate rites, ultimately obstructing the powerful natural connection between mother and newborn child. …nowhere does the tension between technology and nature play out more dramatically than birth…"

The intensity of childbirth is definitely different for everyone.
For me it wasn't about pain since I was either extremely lucky or I managed my pain extremely well. The worst pain was a bit more than strong menstrual cramps, with intense pressure and stretching at crowning, a bit more than perineal massage. Totally manageable. No screaming, no foul language. Some vocalizations.
Pain and difficulty are so overemphasized and negatively represented in our mass media that many women fear pain more than anything, expect a traumatic crisis, and assume they'll need to be saved with conventional pain management and hospital technology. Some even schedule a cesarian to avoid the experience altogether … perhaps not realizing the recovery involved. According to the fear-tension-pain-cycle increased fear increases tension which increases pain.
I had psyched up with Calm Birth techniques: positive visualizations of the birth process, deep "womb breathing", and full body relaxation i.e. release of tension. Prenatal yoga had also prepared me to label and endure pain and discomfort as purposeful "intense sensation". My stellar support team (2 midwives, doula, husband) kept me positive, calm, comforted, and changing positions when the baby wouldn't descend for hours. They used their bag of midwifery tips, & tricks and they provided coaching when needed.
What was intense for me was the emotional rollercoaster of it all. It was humbling surrendering to this surreal and unpredictable unfolding on its own path and time. And intense was accepting the weight of the sacred responsibly for this life at the threshold which i somehow needed to figure out how to effectively push out of my body with all my might in spite of my self doubt, sleep deprivation, and near complete exhaustion. For me this was the first test of motherhood.

DiabetesSisters: Healthy and connected
Tell us why you started the organisation DiabetesSisters.
I started DiabetesSisters [2] in 2008 after many years of feeling lonely and isolated as a woman with diabetes. I always knew how valuable it would be to have a close female friend to discuss the daily challenges of diabetes, but it wasn't on the cards for me then. When I was pregnant with my daughter, the feelings of loneliness and anxiety hit a high point for me.
That's when I really began to think about how connecting with other women would not only benefit me, but lots of other women with diabetes. I launched DiabetesSisters online in 2008 with the hope of bringing together women with diabetes from around the world to learn from each other, support each other, and even advocate for each other.
What are the main challenges facing women with diabetes in the USA?
Women face a lot of challenges today. For their families, women serve as household administrators, heads of public relations, mentors, psychologists, nutritionists, decorators and family doctors.
Adding 24/7 diabetes management to an already full plate is a huge challenge. Throughout life, women with diabetes must manage the challenges of hormone fluctuations with little help. Women with diabetes are also at higher risk for certain health conditions such as heart disease, depression, eating disorders, body image issues, and osteoporosis.
There has been very little research conducted on the gender differences in diabetes, so this void in current healthcare research creates a big challenge for women with diabetes in the US.
Do you think issues around gender equality in the US are still an obstacle for women with diabetes?
Unfortunately, I do. Women play an important role in society, but that role brings a lot of responsibility. In America, the tides are changing and there are a lot more men taking over more responsibilities on the home front. But it's not equal yet.
I feel that women, especially women with type 2 diabetes, are treated with much more disdain than their male counterparts. There is so much blame and shame already with the disease, but women are criticised and scrutinised much more intensely.
When it comes to finding speakers with type 2 diabetes at our conference, it is amazingly difficult. I have observed how much more willing men are to come out and talk about their diabetes. There are many well-known male athletes, actors, and even singers with diabetes. These men are usually heralded by the public. Women don't receive the same reception when they come out about their diabetes.
Brandy Barnes, MSW, holds a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is founder and CEO of DiabetesSisters [2], a non-profit organisation with nearly 10,000 members worldwide

Any thoughts good or bad on Train-Rite Bird Boy Launchers.
I'm looking for a launcher that will be mainly used for retrieve work for NAVHDA testing.
used trainrite to train and have run hunt tests with them . i think the are great and work excellent. nice arc and very consistent.
Well made and throw a country mile. Great for launching a flyer - you just step down with your toe so you aren't off balance when the bird is launched. They do weigh more than the smaller aluminum launchers - mine are a couple of years old and have held up well. I think that the newer units are powder coated.
Will dogtra electronics work them.
How do they do with larg birds
Yes- Dogtra or TriTronics work with the TrainRite Products.

You get what you pay for! Our Launchers are stable on hill sides with adjustable feet and can also be staked down if needed you do not see that with others. You also have the safest most reliable Release on the market. You can adjust the length of your throws at the Launcher rather than move the Launcher to place the bird. If you go to our website you will not see all those replacement parts because we do not have warranty problems. Since we started producing launchers for the public the only repairs we have had to do were caused by equipment abuse (run over, fell off the trailer or atv, etc)! Trainrite Cords have a service life of five years and over when maintained. We have several launchers that are over ten years old and are still working with the original cords! They are made in the USA not imported and assembled here!!
Over all the difference in cost is about $125.00 considering what you are getting it is a good deal! Ask the Pros who use them daily; they can't afford lost time on failed equipment!

My trainer uses them and has for the last year or so. I'm working with him and all the dogs at least every other week so I get to work with them also. They go through a lot of hard use and have held up great. They launch a bird a country mile. Easy to set up and use. He has never had any problems what so ever with these launchers.

Until 2 days ago when he finally started showing signs of life and actually scouring the bottom floor of the aquarium. the next morning..dead. i don't get it. can someone help me out. all water was tested and no nitrates/ammonia;ph good water temp good. Can someone help me out? it was a pricy lobster as well...what a downer..
Was it dead or molting?Just wondering, as they sometimes roll over and appear dead to molt.

READ: "Dana White's rough guide to Boston," by Chris Faraone
READ: "The naked choke," by Eugene S. Robinson
When you think about ethics, your brain likely gestures in the direction of the cooperation-and-compassion ethos taught by schoolteachers, ethicists, and religious moralists. But there stands an older and still relevant, if subterranean, ethic of honor — call it the warrior code. This ethic is being unearthed and rehabilitated, slowly, by writers and thinkers as diverse as the anthropologist Frank Henderson Stewart (Honor), the political scientist Sharon Krause (Liberalism with Honor), and the law professor William Ian Miller (The Mystery of Courage).
In cultures where an honor code holds sway, fighting for fun is a laudable pastime and fighting for fame a noble profession. Which isn't to tout brawling and barbarism, however. Just as the nascent UFC's gloves-off, groin-kicking, no-holds-barred bludgeoning eventually gave way to a civilized, cross-disciplinary tournament, the honor ethic encourages conflict but has very strict rules about how conflict can be morally conducted. Its precepts are familiar to us from Westerns, fairy tales, and professional wrestling scripts: you don't attack the weak, but you may aggress upon the strong. (Pick on someone your own size — or bigger). You must not duck legitimate challenges, which are those coming from slightly lower-ranked or equally ranked peers.
You must also fight fair — and not because you care about the so-called rights of your opponent, but because winning (or losing) a fair fight is the only way to learn how good you are. Calling someone out is perfectly acceptable and laudable, and the ensuing fight is carried out without ill-will. (Presuming, of course, that Dana White sanctions the match. If not, your best bet is probably coaching a season on The Ultimate Fighter.) But when you think a higher-ranked party enjoys an undeserved and bloated reputation, you may insult him by saying so publicly. The catch is you must be prepared to prove your insult true. If you win this "trial by combat," you're universally admired for helping the apparent ranking better match the true ranking. If you lose, you're humiliated.

1 in 5 teens at risk for heart disease: studyOne in five adolescents aged 14 to 15 now has high blood pressure or high cholesterol or both and that could be putting them on the fast track to heart disease, new research shows.
"This study is further evidence of an accelerating decline in the heart health of Canada's teens," said Brian McCrindle, a cardiologist at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.
"Children just shouldn't have these problems."
Dr. McCrindle said the initiative has provided valuable data as well as a good learning opportunity for the students.
"But education is never enough. It does not, in itself, lead to behaviour change," he said.
Rather, students and their parents need to have the ability to put what they learn into action and that requires community programs that make sports accessible, changes in the city layouts so biking is safe and easy, and policy changes such as reducing salt in processed foods.

|the Rod Rack Rod Builder's Forum
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I've built a few rods now, and recently picked up a really good book on the topic; can't think of what it's called (so it must be reaaally good), I'll have to look later. It has a few pointers that the websites don't offer. I'll check into it tonight. Rod building can be a lot of fun if you have a motorized turner; if not, well, it might get a bit tedious.
OK, one more hobby I can't resist.
First I just started as a very basic fly fisherman. Used an old glass hand-me-down rod from my Grandfather, some of his (and my) store-bought flies and went out and whipped the water until every fish in sight was gone.
Eventually I got the hang of casting enought to get at least two or three really good casts each time I went out. I got a little bold and purchased an inexpensive fly-tying kit from LL Bean and have been using only my own tied flies ever since.
Now I am at the point where I only have about two dozen bad casts in an outing and I have tied about five or six proven trout patterns. So as I get the hang of both tying and fishing, I couldn't help but tackle another task.....
My first step was to read the entire ROD RACK section of flyfishingforum.com and all posts in this forum, as well as all the links (especially flyshop.com and flyanglersonline.com). By the way Jim, I printed out your testimonial as a guide as well.
So once I sell my house and move up north to Plymouth, NH I will be purchasing my first blank and other components! (as well as getting a digital camera so you can see some pics of NH fishing, flies and the like!)
Gawd, what would I do with all my money if it wasn't for fly fishing???:eyecrazy:

Made my introduction to GTK. The emu10k1 was needing a mixer GUI and no one else was coming forward so I went ahead. Suddenly there are four other persons willing to help.
GTK gurus: How the hell does one free a box with box insides, with boxes inside... without storing a pointer for each of them? Documentation is a bit sparse.
Skipped another kickboxing training... not good. It has been 2 weeks since the last one. Fat accumulates...
On the job hunting front I'm still waiting for the people from Denmark to get back to me, the original plan was for me to visit them for a day or two. The other proposition (France) is quite good except for the salary :), but since I still need to sort out some details things might be better than what they seem.

I've moved to Boston and started working for Irrational Games, creators of System Shock 2 and employer of numerous LookingGlass alumni.
I've moved to Boston and started working for Irrational Games, creators of System Shock 2 and employer of numerous LookingGlass alumni.
School. Amherst is out of the picture for this year; got the letter today. I half expected it but it's a disappointment nonetheless. Still hoping to hear something good from Boston.
Work.Finishing up one freelance web design, starting another, and in the meantime I've started working 9-to-5 at UMASS Public Sector Partners doing software QA. Will try to save as much as I can.
Code.The job has put a bit of a dent my time, but I'll just have to work harder...
Work. Got an assignment with a temp agency, with the promise of more after it's done. It'll be nice to bring some money in.
Code. I've finally broken my coder's block---thank God. I never thought I'd stare at a blank screen again after I'd gotten up into thousands of lines, but any large-scale refactoring operation can cause the same feeling. The upside is that it's even more of a rush when it gets going... :-)
I'm typing this from my brother's house, babysitting for his two insane dogs. I've got a chihuahua named "Ocho" on my lap--she's hiding from Otto the spastic Italian greyhound. What a perfect opportunity to update my advodiary.
School. Still waiting to hear back from those graduate CS programs I applied to--I don't expect to know for another month or so. Sucks having to wait just to see where I'll be in September; will I be living in Amherst, or Boston, or what? Whatever happens, I can't stand living in the towering shadow of Worcester, Massachusetts anymore. Where we had 20+ inches of snow the other day in the space of a few hours.
Code. So I've been doing a little research to finalize the application protocol for Octal. Or rather, I've been reading other people's research papers via CiteSeer. There's an interesting research project called W/Aura [paper] whose underlying message-passing-style object model I really like. The salient point seems to be that objects do not obtain information (i.e. propertly values) from another object by invoking synchronous "get" methods; instead they receive the information asynchronously, possibly in response to a request, possibly not. Not only does this neatly sidestep the RPC ontology quagmire, it also looks like a natural model for low-latency server design---asynchronous interaction means you never have to block.
Berkeley CNMAT's OSC doesn't overtly aspire to the status of an object model, but the general idea is implicit in what I gather of OSC's semantics. What OSC does bring to the table is an abstract, hierarchical namespace with slash-separated paths; it supports dynamic discovery and update of "addresses" within the namespace. I would like to support OSC, as I see no reason for the continued existence of the limiting Atari-5200-era wire protocol known as MIDI--other than for plugging a keyboard into your computer.
I've decided on the general flavour of what I had been calling the "wavetable." I wanted the general functionality but didn't want to restrict the model to just storing loop points and fine-tune. I'd been interested from the start in allowing musicians to define more complex arrangements of samples while still supporting mainstream features such as velocity cross-switching in a straightforward way. An interesting idea from the world of speech synthesis seems to fit my desire: [paper]
I've upgraded to RedHat 8 with Bluecurve. Except for remaining GTK1.2/2.0 weirdness, this is the first time I've seen Linux look and act truly unified. Not that it's trouble-free; I seem to have an inordinate amount of trouble getting PhpWiki installed and running on the new distro. So in the meantime I'm back to using plain text files for my daily planning.
I'm short on cash so I upgraded my computer by cannibalizing other hardware. Although I'm still down here at 450Mhz, I now have about 392MB of memory; a larger monitor (great for coding); a better graphics card; a zip drive; a working CD-ROM; and of course, better software. I've been using Evolution, Mozilla, X-Chat, Terminal, Gimp, Nautilus, and lots more; I think it moves faster than the jittery, sluggish Windows XP my brother's machine has (and that's on a 1.4 GHZ chip!)
Now is the time to complete a beta/pre-1.0 version of Octal, with all major features implemented. Coding on the Objective-C version has begun. For the time being I'm having an issue with my CVS/SSH access at Subversions but with any luck it'll be resolved by tomorrow.
Well. My two older brothers are both engaged to be married (visit www.jackandolivia.com and ticklemyblog.blogspot.com). I'm anxiously awaiting admissions decisions from the graduate CS departments of several UMass campuses. On the verge of (yes!) actual employment! Things are looking up.
I'm trying to break out into freelancing... might as well parlay my database-enabled web development and graphic design experience into something. I took over the domain name of my former employer, QwsiNet. I'm based in the Boston, Massachusetts area, in case anyone is reading :-)
I've got a new Logitech wireless keyboard, and I must say it's a real boost being able to type while sitting back in the chair with my feet up. Typing feels easier. I also have begun to realize that for one reason or another, I over-rely on the fingers of the right hand to type quickly. My left hand is not nearly as capable at fast sequencing of key presses. Got to work on that.
I had an epiphany with GNU Octal. I had been banging my head against the wall trying to solve a bunch of unrelated problems, and nailed them all with a single pattern. Coming Soon to the web; got to create a test implementation first, then I'll write it up in official GoF Pattern Form.
What a difference a year makes. Wow.
At 3:45 this morning I snapped awake to a phone call from the UMass police, saying I needed to come down to the parking lot because my car had been broken into. I parked facing the riverwalk in the corner, and apparently some sketchy folks have been trying to steal stereos out of cars along that area (it makes for an easy getaway). The police car came and stopped them from doing further damage, since they ran away and weren't captured.
One of my rear-door windows is smashed, and the stereo was destroyed in their attempt to crowbar it out. (Apparently they didn't realize it was a detachable-face stereo, and tried to remove it wholesale.) So now I've got a plastic Newbury Comics bag taped over the window. Luckily it's on the side without all the parking stickers I need :-).
I will really miss my CD player until it's replaced. The whole incident has made me realize how much I love my little red Saturn :-/ ...
Basically the delay is a result of 2 things:
1. Starting graduate school in C.S. and moving to a different city 2. Design revisions + freakouts :-)
The project is not in any danger of being abandoned, and is still very much at the forefront of my mind.
I mention this in the log at one point: I'd begun to get very frustrated with doing certain things in C that would be trivial in a language like Objective-C (part of the GCC suite) and spent a good deal of time investigating the decision to begin coding parts of the system in that dialect. (I dislike C++ and don't think it's a good idea to base new work on it.) I wanted to make sure that nobody would notice my using Objective-C, i.e. no build problems on GNU systems, no re-entrancy problems with the runtime libs, and that sort of thing. At this point it looks 100% safe to use for GNU systems, and I really look forward to cleaning up the code.
In addition, the OCTAL api has had some new (minor) changes inspired by the latest incarnations of some of the other audio plugin API's on linux, as well as standards like DLS.
The two main parts to finish are the sequencer and the GUI. By all means the GUI is the lion's share of the work, even the partial GUI is larger than the core audio engine in code size.
I'm quite prepared to start off by giving patches to you. I've been coding for years and have a CS degree from Rice University (i.e. I know what I'm doing, more or less).
Excellent! Unfortunately this is an awkward time to start someone off on the main system, especially considering that what's currently in CVS is about to undergo some big restructuring. (I *looove* refactoring.) This is one of the reasons why I tend to steer people toward writing plugins---its interface is already defined, and doesn't require any of the paperwork involved in contributing significant code to a GNU project.
I've got design documents and such for the parts of the main system that aren't implemented fully yet (i.e. remainder of the GUI, and the sequencer) stored in a Wiki but they're in rather raw form mostly. I got involved with collaborative software design thru a wiki before, and frankly I found that a lot of Wiki pages got written instead of code :-).
There are two main priorities now:
1. For myself to finish that last 30% that needs finishing, and to document the code. That way people will have an idea of how things are organized and the architecture will be basically stable---things that will make it easier for folks to contribute on the core in the future.
2. For folks to write plugins and fool with them. Unfortunately the API is still under minor revisions, and some troubles with the C++ plugins have made me consider dropping the C++ wrapper (linking problems, and it's a hack anyway.) But the API is pretty close to final, and I feel that the documentation we've got for it is pretty good.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

25 Easy Dip Recipes
Spinach Artichoke Dip [1]
Jazz up purchased spinach-artichoke dip with just three extra ingredients.
Roasted Red Pepper-Chipotle Hummus [5]
Hummus is easier than you might think: Just throw the ingredients in the food processor. Find canned smoky chipotle peppers in the Mexican aisle of large supermarkets.
Tangy Sour Cream and Onion Dip [9]
Onion dip is a classic for a reason—and this 100 percent homemade version is one of the best we've tasted. It's fab with potato chips, of course, but we also love it with crisp Romaine or Little Gem lettuce leaves for a lighter twist.
Bonanza Bean Dip [13]
Lime- and jalapeno-spiced guacamole adds a kick to layers of refried beans, cheese, tomatoes and onions. Serve seasoned tortilla chips on the side.
Bonanza Bean Dip [14]
Sweet Potato Hummus [17]
Our healthy south-of-the-border hummus has sweet potato for silky smoothness, chipotle peppers for smoky heat and pepitas (pumpkin seeds) for crunch. If you like, kick up the heat by swirling some of the adobo sauce from the can of chipotles on top of the dip.
Sweet Potato Hummus [18]
Mediterranean Eight-Layer Dip [21]
We've seen a lot of dips through the years, but we've never forgotten this one -- juicy veggies, tangy olive tapenade and feta piled on a thick layer of hummus. We like to make it ahead and serve it with warm toasted pita wedges. Originally published: December 2005.
Spicy Queso Blanco [25]
If American cheese has a purpose in life, this kicky, ultracreamy dip is it.
Spicy Queso Blanco [26]
Hot Artichoke and Roasted Pepper Asiago Cheese Dip [29]
Roasted red sweet peppers fleck this dip with a festive crimson touch. Serve the warm, cheese-filled appetizer with bread or pita wedges, or some water crackers.
Creamy Crab Rangoon Dip with Wonton Chips [33]
The chips are easy and definitely add to the dip's appeal, but rice crackers, sugar snap peas, celery sticks and baby bok choy leaves all make good Asian-inspired dippers.
Roasted Vegetable Hummus Dip [37]
Roasting the eggplant, zucchini, sweet pepper, onion and garlic intensifies the flavors of this dip. Try with toasted pita wedges.
Triple B Dip [41]
Roasting beets isn't hard, but you can save time by substituting refrigerated roasted beets. Just start the recipe on Step 3. Serve the dip with sliced apples, celery sticks or toasted baguette slices.
Triple B Dip [42]
Garlic Shrimp Dip [45]
Just add mayonnaise and cooked shrimp to purchased dip for this easy party treat.
Garlic Shrimp Dip [46]
Hot Spinach-Artichoke Dip [49]
Parmesan, Monterey Jack and Swiss cheeses give melty goodness to this classic dip. We served it with toasted pita chips, but you can use crackers or sliced baguette.
Spiced Pumpkin Dip [53]
Satisfy your sweet-salty afternoon cravings with this nutrient-packed dip, made with canned pumpkin, white beans and maple syrup. It's fab with honey-wheat pretzel twists, and very kid-friendly.
Spiced Pumpkin Dip [54]
Tequila-Spiked Queso Fundido [57]
Spicy poblano chile pepper and tequila pack a punch. Serve as a party dip with tortilla chips, or create upscale quesadillas with a warmed tortilla and chorizo.
Blackened Tomato Salsa [61]
Chipotle peppers and broiled tomatoes make for a bold, smoky challenge to standard salsa.
Cucumber-Feta Dip [65]
A garnish of pomegranate seeds and mint gives spark to this refreshing dip; it's a healthy choice you'll be glad to have in your recipe box year-round. Serve with pita chips, crisp breadsticks or vegetables.
Cucumber-Feta Dip [66]
Light and Layered Taco Dip [69]
Ground turkey, reduced-sodium and light ingredients, and a confetti of crisp, colorful veggies make this potluck staple more nutritious than a typical layered dip—but every bit as tasty.
Light and Layered Taco Dip [70]
Edamame-Avocado Dip [73]
Combine edamame and avocado with basil pesto, lemon juice and chopped tomato for this easy potluck dip.
Edamame-Avocado Dip [74]
Roasted-Tomato Salsa [77]
This chunky, mild salsa gets a generous dose of snipped cilantro. Serve with everything from tortilla chips to chicken. Want more spunk? Add more jalapenos.
Roasted Tomato Salsa [78]
Party Hot Pot Dip [81]
Three kinds of cheese blend with artichoke hearts and spinach for a crowd-pleasing dip. Bake in batches to keep the party well-supplied.
Party Hot Pot Dip [82]
Swiss-Artichoke Dip [85]
Artichoke hearts, dried tomatoes and sauce combine for a rich, creamy dip. Our recipe calls for processed Swiss cheese because it melts smoothly, but regular Swiss cheese will work fine, too. The dip will have a more stretchy, less creamy texture, but it tastes just as good.
Swiss-Artichoke Dip [86]
Fiesta Dip [89]
For an appetizer in minutes, Wendy Porterfield of the Washington House Inn in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, bakes her cheesy dip for 10 minutes, stirs, then spoons it into pre-baked phyllo shells. Then, she bakes the shells 5 to 10 minutes more. "The phyllo cup version makes a great appetizer for a more formal party, where the dip version is great for a crowd," she says.
Fiesta Dip [90]
No-Cook Salsa Verde [93]
The avocado in this piquant puree of lime, cilantro, onion and tomatillos gives the salsa some richness and body.
No-Cook Salsa Verde [94]
Mexican Seven-Layer Dip [97]
Combine pantry ingredients, such as canned bean dip and taco sauce, for this easy dip. Serve with tortilla chips.
Tropical Tomato Salsa [101]

The diagnosis of hypothermia is usually apparent based on a person's physical signs and the conditions in which the person with hypothermia became ill or was found. Blood tests also can help confirm hypothermia and its severity.
A diagnosis may not be readily apparent, however, if the symptoms are mild, as when an older person who is indoors has symptoms of confusion, lack of coordination and speech problems. In such cases, an exam may include a temperature reading with a rectal thermometer that reads low temperatures.

This is kind of an open question, but I got to thinking about what helped me the most and it would be interesting to hear what others here have to say.
I have to say confidence and learning to use my calls better are what has helped me the most. One feeds the other. I have always had a ton of patience and can sit for hours if I need to, as long as I'm reasonably comfortable. I remember early on in my turkey hunting career that I had doubts if I was in the right place or if my calling sounded real enough. That was not a good combination. I learned that by sitting still in the turkey woods before the season started and listening to every sound I heard, where the right places to go were and what volume, rhythm, and cadence the turkeys made in their calls to each other. Reading the sign and setting up closer to the roost and loafing areas increased my turkey sightings. At home, I practiced and learned one call at a time until I got better at duplicating some of the real turkey's calls. I called in several birds for others before I ever shot one for myself. That's backwards to how most hunters learn the game, but it allowed me access to hunt land I wouldn't normally get to hunt. It was actually a great way to learn what works and what doesn't. All I had to do was be still and make the right calls. My confidence went up because I was successful at bringing turkeys to others hunter's guns.
I started practicing calling year 'round. While I'm not a good enough caller to win any contests, I have fooled plenty of gobblers. There is kind of a second sense you get and an ability to tease gobblers into staying interested and attracted to your calling. It doesn't always work, but when you hit it and it works, you'll know. I get invited to call for buddies of mine who don't have quite as much calling skill. It is kind of like when I started to realize what works and what doesn't and when things started to come together for me.
How about you?

Frankie Lee Spears
Frankie Lee Spears passed away peacefully Tuesday night, March 19th at the hospital in Viroqua, WI. Her daughter, Brenda, and son-in-law, Jack, were at her bedside as she gracefully crossed over from this world into the next. She had several hard weeks prior to her passing when she experienced great pain and discomfort. Her doctor and so many people at Sannes Nursing Home and Vernon Memorial Hospital worked diligently to comfort and ease Frankie's passage. So many friends offered their love, prayers and healing energy, with Vernon Memorial Hospice forming a foundational support. We are so grateful for the support and expertise from so many loving and caring people.
We are planning a Celebration of Life Memorial sometime in late spring or early summer with the date to be announced. If you so desire, making a donation to a cause of your choice in her honor would be a lovely gesture. We thank you for being a part of her life.
Frankie was born in Montpelier, Idaho October 21, 1923 to a fourth generation baker. Her given name was Frankie as she was supposed to be a boy. She complied the best she could by being a rambunctious tomboy as a child. She grew up helping in the bakery, the Royal Bakery, with her parents, Vera and Frank, and her two sisters, Edythe and Norma Ruth. Just out of high school, she had to chose between love and her dream of a career in cartooning with Walt Disney. She decided on marriage and family and married a local man, Donell Pendrey, and had a son, Michael Don. Donell joined the navy, but sadly died in WWII aboard a ship somewhere in the Pacific. A few years later, Frankie married Glenn Spears, who was known as "Pinkie". Frankie and Pinkie settled in Kemmerer, Wyoming and two years later gave birth to Brenda. My brother and I could not have asked for more loving and supportive parents.
Frankie was a self-taught artist learning to paint with oils on canvas, producing amazing works. She loved crafts, made pottery, sewed dresses for Brenda's dolls, took hand-me-downs from her friend's teenage girls and created a beautiful wardrobe for Brenda. Holidays became her opportunity to create. She loved painting the most intricate scenes on Easter eggs. They were more works of art than eggs to crack. Christmas wrapping was eloquently done. Frankie worked in the local grocery store. IGA, in Kemmerer always with the longest line of the three check-out stands as people were more than willing to wait in order to visit with her. She loved people and became friends with nearly everyone in town. She was everybody's shoulder to cry on, offering love and comfort. She used to share that people would drop by to talk, them talking - her listening mostly, and they would leave very relieved and thankful for all her help. She always smiled at that as she felt she hadn't done that much to assist. She just had a way of making people smile. Her husband, Pinkie, powered large equipment in a strip coal mine just outside of town. In retirement, he passed away in 1990 naturally leaving a large void in her life.
Back in 1967 in the space of six months, Frankie lost both her parents to cancer and diabetic complications and then her younger sister, Norma Ruth, to a brain aneurysm. Frankie was a very special aunt to Norma's son, Gregory. Gregory's father, Freddy, continued running the bakery. Frankie's older sister, Edythe, raised cattle and farmed just outside of Montpelier, ID in a tiny farming community called Pegram. Frankie and Pinkie looked forward every year to calving season as they loved helping out and being out in the fresh country air with the sounds of roosters to wake them in the morning. Frankie's whole family and all her close friends loved to camp out and they spent weekends and vacations laughing and loving the great outdoors.
About five months after her sister Edythe passed in 2005, Frankie decided that it was time to move closer to Jack and Brenda even though that meant bravely moving from the area she had lived her entire life. The night before they were set to leave for Wisconsin, the devastating news of her son's sudden passing came, so instead of traveling east to Wisconsin, it was a trip west to Fresno, California for services for Michael. As you can imagine, there was deep grief and it took quite a toll on her and Brenda & Jack.
Frankie, being a strong and independent spirit, wanted her own place in Viroqua, WI. She lived a short time on her own, then her health called for more continuous care which Brenda & Jack were happy and blessed to provide for 6 years at their home in La Farge, WI where they enjoyed many good times and created fond and loving memories which bring great comfort now. Then in December, 2012 pace maker surgery required after-care and rehabilitation that Sannes Nursing Facility in Soldiers Grove, WI provided. She never regained enough strength to return home and remained at Sannes until a week before her passing in the hospital. The people at Sannes became like family to her and we are comforted to know she was so loved and nurtured by them. The hospital and hospice staff also offered great care and compassion to her and to us as we sat vigil during her transition period.
It touches us deeply that our family and friends hold us all in such a loving embrace. We are forever grateful to everyone.

Finally getting some time to get rid of the last persistent bugs, before the first release of Neudist.
I really like the new Virgule stuff on SourceForge and will try to come up with a way of integrating my secure URL Caps with virgule. Mod_virgule has a lot of cool account management features and the whole trust metric concept that would be cool for use with online entities.
Just noticed in my last diary entry that I was talking about security in Ozone. I actually came up with a way of allowing and disallowing connections from certain addresses. There has been some problems with their CVS server for a few days, but it looks like it's back up again now, so I'll create a patch and submit it to the maintainer.

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks for the reply flytyer. I just bought a Sage VPS Light rod for what I think was a pretty good deal at a local fly shop. I'll let you know how it goes.
|TFO's are solid, good casting rods offering good value for the money, so the TFO NXT outfit should be fine.
Has anyone tried the TFO NXT outfit?
|I am just starting out also and bought a martin fly combo from troutlet on sale for 20 bux!!!! 8 ft rod 3 pieces and and 5/6 reel and its already spooled with backing and 5/6 weight line and leader! it also comes with some flies and a getting started booklet! it has 5 out of 5 on the reviews! I can't belive a rod can be decent for 20 bux but then again to get started why not! check it out! they also have rods and other great deals. Can't wait for mine to come! I figure if the reel gives out after a year or so just buy another reel and you still have the rod!
redington rs2 or 3
best beginner rod for the money. progressive action and perhaps getting a line one weight heavier than rated will help a beginner feel the rod 'load' which is so critical to learning to cast. im sure a bunch around on discount. try sierra trading online if no fly shops around you. whatever you choose dont get suckered by salesman. rod and line should cost 95% of your budget and reel the rest for the quarry you stated.
|http://reviews-cdn.cabelas.com/8815/316491/reviews.htm there is a review on the Cabela's Genesis. A few people did say the reel seat is made out of plastic.
|Thanks alot for the response, I really appreciate it. I'm not sure if I'll go with the Cabela's or not yet(I know I should). As for casting lessons, I plan on getting some videos at the very least but hopefully I can find someone around here that knows what they're doing. Thanks again for the help!
|Nooksack Mac
A good choice
I'm not sure how this applies along the Mississippi, but a 5-weight in 8 1/2' or 9' is a fine all-around choice for trout and panfish. The Cabela Genesis package looks like an excellent value for the beginner, with its included flies and accessories.
A floating line is basic, but in time you'll need a sinking line or a sink-tip, line, and an extra reel or interchangeable spool to hold it. Don't be overwhelmed by the countless thousands of fly patterns; most of them largely duplicate proven standard patterns. A drab color Woolly Bugger will catch fish almost everywhere that's wet. A few Adams or Elkhair Caddis in different sizes will cover your dry fly needs, to start. You've got the rest of your life to expand your fly supply.
I hope you can find someone to teach you basic fly casting, which can be learned in 15-30 minutes. If you teach yourself, use these few principles:
The line will go where the rod tip directs it, so move the rod tip in a straight line backward, which is the wind-up for the forward cast, where you move the rod tip in a straight line forward. Don't thrash the rod as fast as you can; pause momentarily on each stroke to let the line straighten out. Start with a short line, then release a few feet of slack with each stroke; control it with the fingers of your line (weak side) hand. Don't try to cast more line than you can control. You can catch fish by casting 20-30 feet, and you'll get better with practice.
Welcome to the world's greatest sport, which will give you immeasurable joy (mixed with some character-building frustrations) until you're old and gray and bent.
Cheap begginer setup
Hi I have never fly-fished in my life but I really want to try to start. I had thought about it for a while but I don't know of anyone who I could go out with because fly-fishing is not big around here. Recently my dad said something about it and I was happy as could be so now I think it's time to get started. My birthday is today so I've been getting plenty of money and I should have enough for a fly-fishing setup. I still want to go pretty cheap because 1)i need to be saving up money for college and 2)I dont want to make a huge investment and end up disliking the sport (not that i think that will happen). I am looking at $100-150 for the whole setup, so i know im not gonna be getting quality equipment, any opinions?
I plan on doing mostly trout fishing and probably some panfish. I might try to go for some small bass but not sure yet. I was thinking 8'6" 5 weight from what ive found on the internet so far. I havent looked into to many brands but I like the cabelas genesis outfit alot so thats on the top of my list so far. Everyone on this site is saying it's great so that is a big possibility. I would really appreciate everyone's input on what they believe is the right equipment for me, Thank You.

Steven Artandi
Jerome and Daisy Low Gilbert Professor and Professor of Biochemistry
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Telomeres are nucleoprotein complexes that protect chromosome ends and shorten with cell division and aging. We are interested in how telomere shortening influences cancer, stem cell function, aging and human disease. Telomerase is a reverse transcriptase that synthesizes telomere repeats and is expressed in stem cells and in cancer. We have found that telomerase also regulates stem cells and we are pursuing the function of telomerase through diverse genetic and biochemical approaches.
Robert Baldwin
Professor of Biochemistry, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly Interests I closed my laboratory when I retired in 1998. I continue to do research, chiefly in collaboration with Franc Avbelj, on problems of protein folding energetics, especially peptide backbone solvation, and to write reviews.
Philip Beachy
The Ernest and Amelia Gallo Professor in the School of Medicine and Professor of Developmental Biology
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Function of Hedgehog proteins and other extracellular signals in morphogenesis (pattern formation), in injury repair and regeneration (pattern maintenance). We study how the distribution of such signals is regulated in tissues, how cells perceive and respond to distinct concentrations of signals, and how such signaling pathways arose in evolution. We also study the normal roles of such signals in stem-cell physiology and their abnormal roles in the formation and expansion of cancer stem cells.
Paul Berg
Robert W. and Vivian K. Cahill Professor of Cancer Research, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly Interests For about 10 years until 2000, my lab's research activities were focused on the mechanism of recombinational repair of double-strand breaks in DNA. We focused our efforts on two model systems: one involved the repair of restriction enzyme cleavages at specific mammalian chromosomal loci and the second explored the biochemical properties of purified yeast Rad51 protein, an essential catalyst for synapsing the broken ends of DNA with an intact homologue of that sequence. We also explored the roles of Rad52 and PRA (single-strand DNA binding protein) in the repair process.
In 2000, I became Emeritus Professor in Biochemistry and stepped down from the Directorship of the Beckman Center. Much of my activities since then have been involved in writing a biography of the genetics pioneer George Beadle, published in 2003, plus articles for other publications elaborating on Beadle's legacy for today's science. Over the years I have been and continue to be an activist in public policy issues affecting biomedical issues, e.g. recombinant DNA and more recently, issues concerning embryonic stem cells.
Onn Brandman
Assistant Professor of Biochemistry
Current Research and Scholarly Interests The Brandman Lab studies how cells ensure protein quality and how they signal stress. To achieve this, we employ an integrated set of techniques including single cell anaysis of stress pathways, structural studies, in vitro translation, and full genome screens in yeast and mammalian cells.
