Research & Scholarship
Current Research and Scholarly Interests
The overarching goal of our lab is to understand the genetic mechanisms of aging and longevity. Aging is a highly plastic process regulated by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
We have a long-standing interest in the genetic pathway that connects insulin to FOXO transcription factors, a central pathway to regulate lifespan from worms to humans. We use a combination of genetic, molecular, and cellular approaches to analyze the regulation and importance of FOXO transcription factors, and more generally 'longevity genes' in mammals. We are particularly interested in the role of longevity genes in the maintenance of the pool of adult neural stem cells and intact cognitive function during aging. We also use ultra-high throughput sequencing technologies to study epigenetic changes and transcriptional networks during aging.
In parallel, our goal is to identify novel longevity genes using short-lived animal models. Our lab uses unbiased approaches in the nematode C. elegans to identify novel pathways that control organismal longevity, particularly in response to dietary restriction. We are particularly interested in the role of chromatin modifiers in the regulation of lifespan and metabolism.
Finally, we are developing the extremely short-lived African killifish N. furzeri as a new vertebrate model for aging studies. We are taking advantage of this fish to explore the genetic architecture of longevity in vertebrates.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Breakfast Recipe
Everyone's heard that breakfast is good for you, but here's a breakfast that really is. It is lip smackingly delicious and healthy.
Take 1/2 cup of low fat milk, 2 tbsp of chocolate syrup, 2 tbsp of peanut butter, 1 frozen ripe banana and 1 cup low fat yoghurt. Place it all in a blender and process until smooth. To make it better, you can use vanilla flavoured yoghurt. To increase the protein content and reduce carbohydrate count, substitute the chocolate syrup with chocolate whey protein powder.
This breakfast is loaded with protein, fiber to keep you satiated for longer. So you won't get to the office and dig into all that junk food. Potassium from the banana will help you keep the blood pressure down on the morning drive The calcium from the dairy is good for your bones, and a recent study showed that dairy promotes belly fat loss. Also, this smoothie gives you good carbohydrates which will fuel your body through the morning.
This is a great breakfast smoothie recipe. Or even a pre workout smoothie. For a post workout smoothie, we recommend using only 1 tbsp of peanut butter.
To make it a weight gain smoothie, swap the yoghurt with vanilla ice cream and enjoy

what a day, finally got to Lysty* and H and Buzz (triclub chik) were already there.
We three made the midget trio on our small bikes
Cold at Lysty but warmed up soon enough, took mainly the fire trails/boundary rds to get up to Comm Games course. A bit of an uphill slog but atleast once at the top it's pretty much downhill all the way back.
As H posted she came unstuck on the off camber log along the first section of the Comm games course heading towards the rock garden. A few of us were ahead and hadn't realised there'd been a stack, we just thought the group was doing some log practice Went back as the group was starting to move off and H assured us she was ok.
Then on to the little 's' turn/climb. H sat on the side watching and looked a little pale but said she was ok and just wouldn't do logs just incase. The group spent some time at this section then went on the the next bit. We skipped the rock u-turn as Jess Douglas had her MTB Skills group there so we soldiered on to the Rock garden.
Kelly and Jane showed us how it was done and spotted everyone that had a go. I've never ridden rock bit before, always walked around it. Kept telling myself "pack'n death pack'n death pack'n death" as I approached it but got up there ok and felt quite elated. After I'd stopped and turned around caught a glimpse of H grimacing and knew then she had to go back and wasn't going to settle for her saying she was ok so told her we were going back.
Bade our farewells to the group and started heading back. A short while later noticed we had company, pone of the other girls in the group was following us not realising we were heading back (she had a bit of an uphill climb to get back to tthe group then ) Past Hallam Nth carpark and headed down some gentle singletrack to avoid the bumpy boundary track.
Also found some pink pom poms out in the bush wonder where they came from
Back at the carpark some kind gents helped to get H's bike up on to her car. The off back home with H following the shorter route back to Eastlink
Pretty extreme way to get out of cleaning the house H
* note to self, it is far quicker going Churchill Park Dve, Hallam Nth rd to get to Horswood rd entrance than going via Wellington rd

Kyle's Beloit
Hometown: Medford, Minn.
Major/minor: Political science/biology and environmental studies
Why he chose Beloit: Beloit was the last school I visited. I came for a day tour, and the campus was beautiful and the student body was unique from the other schools I visited. They seemed quirky and super friendly. I felt at home. It just felt right.
The benefits of stepping out of your comfort zone: When I first came to Beloit, I wanted to study molecular biology. I was sure that I wanted to work in a lab and do that for the rest of my life. But then I decided to break out from my comfort zone and take other kinds of classes. I absolutely loved political science−I thought it was so interesting. And I studied sustainable environmental policy in Denmark last semester. Now that's really what I want to do with my life. Taking various classes and experiential learning have really shifted my focus.
On how life changes after you study abroad: I studied abroad in Denmark. The program was about sustainability in Europe, and we were looking at Denmark and Germany in particular and seeing how they've implemented environmentally sustainable policies. It was really great seeing actual environmental politics in action and working with them, going to the parliaments, and meeting with the legislators. Also, taking what I learned in Beloit in the classroom setting and applying that to the real world has been really interesting. It was great to have that hands-on experience and see a different culture.
How he got to spend a week in South Korea: The summer before I came to Beloit I studied in Beijing, China and worked at a university in a lab there for two months. Then I came to Beloit, and I wanted to go back to Asia but not to China because I wanted to experience a different culture. The Office of International Education told me about this great program where you can go to Korea for a week. It's completely paid for by CIEE (Council on International Educational Exchange). I applied, and I got in. I went to South Korea with another Beloiter, and we stayed in Seoul and met Korean university students. We met students from all across the United States, and that was a great way to see the world. Learning about South Korean/North Korean relations really helped spark my interest in politics. It was great being able to experience Asia and Europe and the United States and have this wider swath of experience.
How he practices the liberal arts: The liberal arts in practice means taking what you learn in the classroom and applying it to something physical or using it outside the classroom. What I've been doing this semester, with a few other students, is creating a campus garden. I've been applying some of the knowledge I learned in Denmark, but also from classes here. I've been working with food service and the administration to really try and make a change on campus−something that will last even after I graduate.
Why he started a garden on campus: While I was studying abroad, I went to Berlin and visited this massive urban garden in downtown. It was so beautiful. As part of my end-of-the-semester project, I made a plan on how to start a campus garden. I thought it would be great to make a garden here at Beloit where you could pick your food in the morning, give it to the dining hall, and eat it in the night. Another intern and I will be staying here over the summer to manage the garden. We'll start growing produce and selling it right away, but we also want to try and do some more long-term planning, figuring out how to integrate the garden into the college curriculum and making it more of a self-sustaining project.

Oh, we'd hate to be a RIM BlackBerry 8800 owner right now. Just months after the 8800's release, Research in Motion has released a sleeker and sexier model that'll make you wish that you had waited a while longer--the world of technology can be so cruel. The RIM BlackBerry Curve (aka BlackBerry 8300) is the smallest and lightest full-QWERTY BlackBerry to date, and we're absolutely stoked on the design. It feels more like a cell phone with the compact dimensions, yet you still get the advantage of a full keyboard for easy messaging. We want to be clear that the BlackBerry 8300 is more about the revamped design, rather than new features. The device does offer a few improvements, such as a spell-checker for e-mail and an upgraded 2-megapixel camera, but it still lacks the big items on a our wish list, namely Wi-Fi and 3G support. And to be fair, the BlackBerry 8800 may still be a better fit for power business users with its GPS functionality and lack of a camera (an increasing security concern at workplaces). That said, for consumers and mobile professionals, the BlackBerry Curve is a beautifully designed and well-rounded device that delivers great e-mail functionality, a little multimedia fun, and solid performance.
The RIM BlackBerry Curve is available now through Cingular/AT&T for $199.99 with a two-year contract and after mail-in rebates. The carrier said it plans to launch the BlackBerry 8300 later this spring, and we will, of course, keep you updated as get more information. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long.
Simply put, it was love at first sight. Though we don't fully understand the name--it's no curvier than the BlackBerry Pearl or any of the other latest BlackBerrys--the RIM BlackBerry Curve offers a best-of-breed design that beautifully combines a full QWERTY keyboard into a sleek and compact form factor. The silver-and-black color scheme is standard but attractive nonetheless. We'll admit there's a slight resemblance to the Palm Treo 680 from the front, but it's much thinner and more manageable in terms of size. In fact, it's the smallest and lightest full QWERTY BlackBerry to date at just 4.2x2.4x0.6 inches and 3.9 ounces. By comparison, the BlackBerry 8800 measures 4.4x2.6x0.5 inches and 4.7 ounces, while the Treo 680 measures 4.4x2.3x0.8 inches and 5.5 ounces.
With such a slim profile and small weight, the Curve is comfortable to hold and use as a phone, even though it has a wider body than regular cell phones. The outer edges also have a soft-touch finish to give it a rubbery texture, thus making it easier to grip. In general, the device has a solid construction, but we did notice the slightest separation between the front faceplate and the phone's body on the left side. However, we're not concerned that this is something that will cause the phone to break.
On front of the device, there's a 2.5-inch diagonal, 65,000-color screen with a 320x240 pixel resolution. The display features a light-sensing technology that automatically adjusts the backlighting of the screen as well as the keyboard, based on your environment (indoors, outdoors, a dark room, and so forth). In addition, you can customize the screen with various themes and wallpaper, as well as adjust the font size, family, and style. We didn't have any problems reading the contents of the screen under various lighting conditions, and both text and images were sharp and vibrant.
As with all BlackBerry models, the Curve does not have a touch screen, but we still found the device easy to use and navigate with the provided controls. You'll find these controls beneath the screen; they include the Talk and End/power buttons, a Menu shortcut, an Escape key, and the trackball navigator. You can adjust the sensitivity of the latter under the Settings > Screen/Keyboard menu. Along the right side, there is a volume rocker and a user-defined launch button that's set to activate the camera by default. The left side holds a mini-USB port as well as another programmable convenience key, and--good news--the BlackBerry 8300 is equipped with a 3.5mm headset jack, so you can plug in Walkman-style headphones.
One of the biggest complaints about the BlackBerry 8800 was its keyboard. RIM switched up the layout and feel of the keyboard on the 8800, and many users found the buttons to be slippery and cramped. Happily, the BlackBerry Curve's full QWERTY keyboard offers a better typing experience, as it reverts back to the styling of the keys found on the BlackBerry 8700g and 8700c. This means you get more spacing between the buttons, and they're tactile and less slick.
Finally, the camera lens, flash, and self-portrait mirror are on the back of the device, and a mute button is located on top. The 8300 is equipped with a microSD slot, but it's inconveniently located behind the battery. The RIM BlackBerry Curve ships with a travel charger, a USB cable, a wired stereo headset, a belt holster, and reference material. For more BlackBerry add-ons and downloads, check out our cell phone accessories page.
The RIM BlackBerry Curve doesn't offer anything revolutionary in the features department (read: no Wi-Fi or 3G support), but as mentioned previously, there are some slight enhancements. First, the Curve adds a new spell-check functionality for e-mails. As you would expect, the feature will look for any spelling errors in your messages before they're sent and offer alternatives to misspelled words. Spell-check is also available for memos, but not for text messages. You can turn this feature on under the Options > Spell Check menu, where you can also find settings to ignore acronyms, words with numbers, add words to a custom dictionary, and more. During our review period, the feature worked great, and it definitely comes in handy--especially if you're sending messages to clients, your boss, and other professionals.

The Federal Work Study Program is a form of financial assistance available to qualifying students. Students are provided the opportunity to meet their educational costs through part-time employment. To determine Federal Work Study eligibility, students should contact their financial aid counselor in the Office of Financial Aid Services.
The Federal Government establishes eligibility criteria and allocates an annual grant which is used to fund the student's earnings. The employing department within the Medical University of South Carolina does not contribute to the student's earnings, except in cases where the student's eligibility is exceeded. Because of this unique funding arrangement, the program is governed by policies and procedures representative of both funding agencies.
This handbook provides you with the policies and procedures of the Federal Work Study Program and addresses frequently asked questions concerning Federal Work Study. The information contained in this publication is in effect at the time of publication. However, future changes in policies may become necessary. When such changes occur, all active student FWS employees will be notified in writing.
If you have any questions regarding information in the Handbook, please call the Office of Financial Aid Services at 792-2536.
What is Federal Work Study?
Federal Work Study is a federal regulated financial aid program authorized by the Higher Education Act of 1965 and subsequent amendments and reauthorizations. A certain percentage of your paycheck is provided through Federal Title IV funds.
The Federal Work Study Program provides students financial aid in the form of wages paid to the student for services rendered as a Federal Work-Study employee. As a Federal Work Study employee, you are paid hourly. This is in accordance with MUSC payroll guidelines and as outlined in your FWS contract. Work cannot interfere with the pursuit of your education.
The exact amount of your Federal Work Study award depends on your demonstrated financial need determined by the Office of Financial Aid Services and available funding from the Federal Government.
If your financial aid award letter includes Federal Work Study, the amount shown is the amount of money you may expect to earn during the academic year as a result of work performed and the hours necessary to perform such work.
What is the Role of the Office of Financial Aid Services in the Federal Work Study Program?
In addition to determining the amount of your Federal Work Study award, the Office of Financial Aid Services acts as the coordinating agent between the student, the supervisor and the administrative offices of MUSC. Please call the Office of Financial Aid Services at 792-2536 regarding questions about this information.
OSHA Training
All Federal Work Study Employees must complete OSHA Training at MUSC prior to employment in accordance with the University's Human Resources Management regulations. There are no exceptions.
This training must have been completed no more than 12 months prior to starting employment. OSHA training is available online at: http://www.carc.musc.edu/training/modules/osha/
A certificate of completion will be given to participants that have completed the training. A copy of the certificate must be given to the FWS Coordinator.
If you have previously completed OSHA training and need a copy of your osha certificate, you may contact the OSHA office directly at 792-3532.
Pre-Employment Health Screening
All Federal Work-Study Employees must complete a Pre-Employment Health Screening with Employee Health Services, located at 57 Bee Street. A drug screen is included with this health screening. This policy is in accordance with MUSC Human Resources guidelines. There are no exceptions.
The FWS Coordinator will make an appointment suitable to your schedule while you are in the Financial Aid Office picking up employment paperwork. Appointments are available during the hours of 7:00 am-11:15 am, 1:00 pm and 1:115 pm Monday through Friday.
Scheduling is based on availability of the Employee Health Services office. At your appointment you will need to have a copy of your immunization records, driver's license and full bladder (Students are required to obtain a copy of their student health records prior to their appointment.)
Requests for copies of immunization records to be faxed from Student Health to Employee Health should be made in writing to the Student Health office at least 48 hours prior to their appointment. A clearance slip from Employee Health stating that the student is cleared to work will need to be submitted to the FWS Coordinator.
Missed appointments will have to be rescheduled. This may delay the start of employment until the screening is completed. Employee Health's telephone number is 792-2991.
Job Placement
After selecting open positions, the student should schedule interviews. During the interview, be sure to gain a good understanding of what the job entails. It is important for the student to ask questions and help the interviewer understand what you hope to gain from this work experience. We encourage you to seek employment that will compliment and reinforce your course of study.
After you have been offered a position, you will need to schedule an appointment with the FWS Coordinator to complete and return all necessary employment forms.
Mandatory Meetings of FWS Employees
Before a student can begin working in a FWS position, the appropriate paperwork must be completed to establish a student on the payroll. This paperwork is completed at the Office of Financial Aid Services. We suggest that you make an appointment with the FWS Coordinator after you have interviewed and secured a FWS position. Should the need for other mandatory meetings arise during the year, the FWS student will be notified in writing.
Working on Campus
A variety of opportunities are provided to students with over one hundred academic, administrative and support positions available. Positions are listed in the FWS Job Placement Booklet and are provided to qualifying students through the Office of Financial Aid Services.
Jobs are listed by the type of work and indexed by the department and supervisor. Students should review the job listings, select positions that are of interest, and then schedule interviews. The selection of a qualified work study student for employment in a particular department is at the discretion of the FWS supervisor.
Dual Employment
A FWS employee must notify the Office of Financial Aid Services if they are working (or plan to work) in another department at MUSC other than the Federal Work Study program. Coordination between FWS and the other employing department on campus must be made to ensure that the student is not in an overtime situation.
Approval or Disapproval for Dual Employment is granted through the University Human Resources Office. Paperwork from both departments is required to be submitted for consideration by Human Resources. Federal Regulations stipulate that the FWS Program cannot pay students overtime.
Hours worked from all departments are calculated into the MUSC payroll system and thus the student must not exceed 40 hours per week between all departments at MUSC. It is imperative that students already employed in another department at MUSC or considering dual employment, contact the FWS Coordinator to discuss these matters.
Failure to communicate dual employment information to the Office of Financial Aid Services may place the student in a situation of where the student is ineligible for work study. Any hours worked in a period of ineligibility will be paid by the student's department. FWS employees may only work one work study job.
Steps to Finding a FWS Job and Being Placed on Payroll
- Interested students should see the Receptionist in the Office of Financial Aid Services for a copy of the FWS Job Placement Book. This publication lists available FWS Jobs on campus. Students at Satellite Campuses must call the FWS Coordinator to make arrangements for the FWS Job Placement Book to be forwarded to them.
- Review the positions and mark those jobs that interest you.
- Call your Financial Aid Counselor to determine if you are eligible for the FWS program. If it is determined that you are eligible for FWS, an FWS award will be included in your total financial aid package.
- Make an appointment with the FWS Coordinator. At your appointment, you will be provided step by step instructions (Checklist) to complete prior to beginning employment. An appointment with Employee Health Services for a pre-employment health screening will be made for you at that time also.
- Schedule interviews with supervisors. Be sure to identify yourself as a student who is eligible for Federal Work Study
- After completing the checklist, make another appointment with the FWS Coordinator. Your appointment should be made at least three work days following your appointment at Employee Health Services to allow time for Employee Health Clearance processing.
- At your second appointment with the FWS Coordinator, you should submit all paperwork. Failure to complete all items on the checklist will delay your hire date. At this time, you will be provided timecards, a list of pay dates, a memo regarding timecard completion and a copy of your FWS Contract indicating your official start date.
You cannot begin working until you have been provided with a start date from the Office of Financial Aid Services. Students who work in non-authorized periods of employment will not be paid from Federal Work Study funds. There are no exceptions.- Contact your FWS supervisor to establish a work schedule.
Changing FWS Jobs
Although every effort is made to help you locate the right job for you, there may be the need for a change. In such instances, the student must notify the supervisor and the Office of Financial Aid Services in writing.
A FWS employee wishing to transfer to another department must leave their current department in good standing. Therefore, the employee should submit a written resignation to their current department giving a minimum of two (2) weeks' notice. You will need to make an appointment with the FWS Coordinator to obtain assistance in finding another job. Your pay rate will not automatically be transferred.
Pay Rates
The work study program's rate of pay is $10.50 per hour.
Students may work a maximum of 20 hours a week (no more than 8 hours in a particular day). Students working an 8 hour shift must be provided with a lunch break. Students are also governed by other policies which apply to all MUSC employees.
Availability of Federal Work Study funds and written authorization by the FWS Coordinator will dictate work assignments during the holidays and the summer. Students are not authorized to work during scheduled class periods. Students should notify their supervisor of their schedule so that work schedules can be arranged around class schedules.
Notice of Eligibility
Notices of Eligibility are sent periodically to advise the student of their estimated remaining eligibility for Federal Work Study. When a student comes within $500 of exceeding their award allocation, they are sent a letter advising them to plan accordingly so that they will not exceed their FWS awards allocation.
Getting Paid
Your paycheck is based upon the entry of hours worked into the Kronos system every 2 weeks. You are paid as a bi-weekly employee. A schedule of the pay dates will be provided to you when you complete your paperwork necessary for employment. The information is also available online at www.musc.edu/hrm. Pay days generally fall every other Wednesday. The current pay periods can be found at http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/vpfa/finance/controller/payroll/pay_dates.htm
The pay period corresponding to the pay dates will have ended approximately 10 days prior to the pay date. Each pay period always ends on a Saturday. The work week runs from midnight Saturday through midnight of the next Saturday.
FWS students will need to submit all hours worked on a biweekly basis via the internet at star.musc.edu .
The deadline to submit hours via the web is midnight on the last day of the biweekly pay period. Students may only submit time actually worked on the job. Break times and meal times cannot be included on the timesheet. See MUSC HRM policy 9 for more information.
Falsification of time work is subject to disciplinary actions outlined in MUSC HRM policy 45.To view these policies, visit: www.musc.edu/hrm.
Students are also required to print a copy of their Hours Detail Report. FWS Students must have their supervisor sign the Hours Detail Report. The reports be turned into the designated drop points no later than 10:00 am on the Monday immediately following the end of the work week (unless otherwise specified). Drop off boxes for timecards (Enrollment Management) are in the lobby of the Harper Student Center. Students may also fax the reports to 792-6356.Changes in the MUSC University Payroll deadlines (example: holidays) will be communicated to the student and supervisor through notices placed on the timecards or via e-mail. In order to be paid correctly and in a timely manner, it is the student's responsibility to turn in your signed hours detail report every 2 weeks. Reports submitted past the stated deadlines may cause a delay in pay.
For those students who work for both the MUSC Authority and FWS, you will submit paper time cards with the same deadlines as stated above. Timecards need to be completed in blue or black ink only and the times should be submitted in decimal format (rounded to the nearest tenth). Timecards require both the student and supervisor's signatures and the times and dates worked. It is also the student's responsibility to ensure that timecards are completed correctly and signed. Incorrect timecards submitted may also cause a delay in pay.
Due to fiscal year end requirements, all timecards that are not turned in prior to June 30th of the fiscal year, will not be paid through FWS funds and will become a responsibility of the supervising department for wages to be paid.
Pay stubs are available online at: http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/hr/university/emp_corner/records.htm
MUSC requires all employees to participate in Direct Deposit.
For new employees, direct deposit takes approximately 2 pay periods to take effect. Paychecks are mailed to the employee's home address in the interim processing time. Changes to your bank account information will require you to complete a Cancellation Form (stop deposit) and a new Authorization form (set up and changes to deposit).
These forms are available at: http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/hr/university/forms/payroll.htm.
FWS Employee Rights
As a Federal Work Study employee at the Medical University of South Carolina, you have certain employment rights. You have the right to:
- Expect the Medical University of South Carolina to provide equal opportunity in employment without regard to sex, race, creed, national origin, or handicap.
- Work free of the threat or actual incidence of racism or sexual harassment.
- Work in an atmosphere consistent with the MUSC mission and values statement.
- Be provided adequate instruction and the necessary working conditions for the performance of your duties.
Copies of the Medical University of South Carolina Equal Employment Statement and Affirmative Action Policy are included in your employment packet.
If you have reason to believe your rights are being infringed upon or have questions concerning your rights, please contact the FWS Coordinator in the Office of Financial Aid Services at 792-2536.
Address Changes
If you change your address, you will need to communicate this information with the FWS Coordinator directly or change this information at: www.musc.edu/hrm/myrecords/. Address changes in the Student Information system will change the address only with the academic departments on campus.
This does not change the information automatically with the Human Resources department. The employee system and student information system are not linked. It is important that your address is current to receive paychecks, check stubs and w-2 forms.
It is important that if you decide to leave the FWS program that you notify our office of your last date of employment. An employee wishing to resign in good standing should submit a written resignation to the department with a minimum of two (2) weeks' notice.
Failure to notify our office of the last date of employment may cause errors in your pay. Students who do not work for a period of 2 months will automatically be terminated from the FWS payroll. Students in programs that require them to leave for out of town rotations should notify the Office of Financial Aid Services of their rotation dates to prevent premature termination from the FWS payroll.
Employee Background Checks
MUSC Human Resources requires criminal background checks on all employees ( including FWS employees) as a condition of hire.
FWS Employment Responsibilities
Federal Work Study employees are expected to approach their employment in a professional manner. A student who accepts a FWS position is expected to:
- Complete employment paperwork with the FWS Coordinator prior to working.
- File all appropriate forms, as required, with the Office of Financial Aid Services.
- Fill out timecards completely and accurately.
- Ensure that all timecards are turned in on time.
- Perform all duties in compliance with departmental policies.
- Treat all members of the MUSC community and all visitors with courtesy and consideration.
- Notify your supervisor when you are unable to work as scheduled.
- Maintain confidentiality when working with all employment related material.
- Maintain academic standing.
- Notify your supervisor and the Office of Financial Aid Services prior to terminating employment (in writing).
- Never work during scheduled class times.
- Notify your supervisor and the Office of Financial Aid Services prior to starting an out of town rotation. Failure to communicate these dates may cause premature termination of your paperwork from the payroll.
- Continue to maintain satisfactory academic progress and be enrolled at least half time.
FWS Flow Chart
- Student reviews FWS Job Placement Book and marks jobs of interest.
- Student calls Financial Aid Counselor to determine eligibility.
- Student makes appointment with FWS Coordinator to fill out paperwork and set up pre-employment screening.
- Student calls to schedule interviews with supervisors.
- Make appointment with FWS Coordinator to submit completed paperwork from checklist.
- FWS Coordinator provides you a start date and timecards at your appointment.
- Contact Supervisor to establish schedule.
Work Schedules, Job Training, Departmental Procedures
As soon as you are given an effective date to work, you will need to report to your supervisor. Please remember that office procedures from departments vary. Therefore, your supervisor will provide you with information regarding attire (what is acceptable to wear in the dept.), job training, expectations, office procedures and etiquette.
At that time, you are expected to establish a work schedule for the semester of the days and times that you plan to work. Student class schedules will change from semester to semester. Therefore, you are expected to coordinate and establish a new work schedule with your supervisor no later than the first week of classes each semester.
Name Changes
If your name changes, please visit: http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/hr/university/forms/ and complete a name change form. In addition, you will need to submit a copy of your new social security card and a new W-4 Form (withholding form) to MUSC Human Resources.

CO2 and other Greenhouse Gas Emission Optimization
CO2 emissions are predominantly produced by the utility systems. Consequently, it is best to model emissions and energy in a singular system. Any attempt to reduce the costs from the utility side should be based on the appropriate utility system models and a compositional fuel representation to allow combustion-based Carbon calculations. Solving and optimizing the energy and carbon balances together including constraints is best operational practice. Full Story »

Linkage Analysis in the Presence of Errors IV: Joint Pseudomarker Analysis of Linkage and/or Linkage Disequilibrium on a Mixture of Pedigrees and Singletons When the Mode of Inheritance Cannot Be Accurately Specified The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 66, Issue 4, 1 April 2000, Pages 1310-1327 Harald H.H. Göring and Joseph D. Terwilliger Abstract There is a lot of confusion in the literature about the "differences" between "model-based" and "model-free" methods and about which approach is better suited for detection of the genes predisposing to complex multifactorial phenotypes. By starting from first principles, we demonstrate that the differences between the two approaches have more to do with study design than statistical analysis. When simple data structures are repeatedly ascertained, no assumptions about the genotype-phenotype relationship need to be made for the analysis to be powerful, since simple data structures admit only a small number of df. When more complicated and/or heterogeneous data structures are ascertained, however, the number of df in the underlying probability model is too large to have a powerful, truly "model-free" test. So-called "model-free" methods typically simplify the underlying probability model by implicitly assuming that, in some sense, all meioses connecting two affected individuals are informative for linkage with identical probability and that the affected individuals in a pedigree share as many disease-predisposing alleles as possible. By contrast, "model-based" methods add structure to the underlying parameter space by making assumptions about the genotype-phenotype relationship, making it possible to probabilistically assign disease-locus genotypes to all individuals in the data set on the basis of the observed phenotypes. In this study, we demonstrate the equivalence of these two approaches in a variety of situations and exploit this equivalence to develop more powerful and efficient likelihood-based analogues of "model-free" tests of linkage and/or linkage disequilibrium. Through the use of a "pseudomarker" locus to structure the space of observations, sib-pairs, triads, and singletons can be analyzed jointly, which will lead to tests that are more well-behaved, efficient, and powerful than traditional "model-free" tests such as the affected sib-pair, transmission/disequilibrium, haplotype relative risk, and case-control tests. Also described is an extension of this approach to large pedigrees, which, in practice, is equivalent to affected relative-pair analysis. The proposed methods are equally applicable to two-point and multipoint analysis (using complex-valued recombination fractions). Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1215 kb) |
A Log-Linear Approach to Case-Parent–Triad Data: Assessing Effects of Disease Genes That Act Either Directly or through Maternal Effects and That May Be Subject to Parental Imprinting The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 62, Issue 4, 1 April 1998, Pages 969-978 C.R. Weinberg, A.J. Wilcox and R.T. Lie Abstract Summary We describe a log-linear method for analysis of case-parent–triad data, based on maximum likelihood with stratification on parental mating type. The method leads to estimates of association parameters, such as relative risks, for a single allele, and also to likelihood ratio χ2 tests (LRTs) of linkage disequilibrium. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium need not be assumed. Our simulations suggest that the LRT has power similar to that of the χ2 "score" test proposed by Schaid and Sommer and that both can outperform the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT), although the TDT can perform better under an additive model of inheritance. Because a restricted version of the LRT is asymptotically equivalent to the TDT, the proposed test can be regarded as a generalization of the TDT. The method that we describe generalizes easily to accommodate maternal effects on risk and, in fact, produces powerful and orthogonal tests of the contribution of fetal versus maternal genetic factors. We further generalize the model to allow for effects of parental imprinting. Imprinting effects can be fitted by a simple, iterative procedure that relies on the expectation-maximization algorithm and that uses standard statistical software for the maximization steps. Simulations reveal that LRT tests for detection of imprinting have very good operating characteristics. When a single allele is under study, the proposed method can yield powerful tests for detection of linkage disequilibrium and is applicable to a broader array of causal scenarios than is the TDT.

Informative Missingness in Genetic Association Studies: Case-Parent Designs The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 72, Issue 3, 1 March 2003, Pages 671-680 Andrew S. Allen, Paul J. Rathouz and Glen A. Satten Abstract We consider the effect of informative missingness on association tests that use parental genotypes as controls and that allow for missing parental data. Parental data can be informatively missing when the probability of a parent being available for study is related to that parent's genotype; when this occurs, the distribution of genotypes among observed parents is not representative of the distribution of genotypes among the missing parents. Many previously proposed procedures that allow for missing parental data assume that these distributions are the same. We propose association tests that behave well when parental data are informatively missing, under the assumption that, for a given trio of paternal, maternal, and affected offspring genotypes, the genotypes of the parents and the sex of the missing parents, but not the genotype of the affected offspring, can affect parental missingness. (This same assumption is required for validity of an analysis that ignores incomplete parent-offspring trios.) We use simulations to compare our approach with previously proposed procedures, and we show that if even small amounts of informative missingness are not taken into account, they can have large, deleterious effects on the performance of tests.

The selection of an appropriate control sample for use in association mapping requires serious deliberation. Unrelated controls are generally easy to collect, but the resulting analyses are susceptible to spurious association arising from population stratification. Parental controls are popular, since triads comprising a case and two parents can be used in analyses that are robust to this stratification. However, parental controls are often expensive and difficult to collect. In some situations, studies may have both parental and unrelated controls available for analysis. For example, a candidate-gene study may analyze triads but may have an additional sample of unrelated controls for examination of background linkage disequilibrium in genomic regions. Also, studies may collect a sample of triads to confirm results initially found using a traditional case-control study. Initial association studies also may collect each type of control, to provide insurance against the weaknesses of the other type. In these situations, resulting samples will consist of some triads, some unrelated controls, and, possibly, some unrelated cases. Rather than analyze the triads and unrelated subjects separately, we present a likelihood-based approach for combining their information in a single combined association analysis. Our approach allows for joint analysis of data from both triad and case-control study designs. Simulations indicate that our proposed approach is more powerful than association tests that are based on each separate sample. Our approach also allows for flexible modeling and estimation of allele effects, as well as for missing parental data. We illustrate the usefulness of our approach using SNP data from a candidate-gene study of psoriasis.

"Kalie draws on the memory of her Make-A-Wish® experience to stay positive and upbeat. "
Kalie returns to the stage with the other models for an encore.
For Kalie, dealing with a life-threatening blood disorder– means she'll always have to be monitored and treated to manage its symptoms. And she doesn't know when the next bout of pain, infections and anemia are coming.
A hard burden to face, Kalie now draws on the memory of her Make-A-Wish® experience to stay positive and upbeat.
Dr. Jonathan Bernstein – Kalie's pediatric oncologist – often refers kids for wishes because he is convinced of the positive force of a wish experience.
After he referred Kalie, wish granters visited her to learn her one true wish – to be a supermodel. Her choice wasn't a surprise to Dr. Bernstein.
"She's always been very stylish – and very smart!" he says.
Wish granters went to work to create an amazing day for Kalie.
Thirteen-year-old Kalie's day starts off with a limousine ride to her modeling lesson, followed by a trip to the studio for a photo shoot.
Then the Macy's Las Vegas staff helps Kalie get ready for the runway, selecting several outfits for a fashion show later that day. Kalie also receives a makeover from Macy's experts.
"It was awesome to be pampered and fussed over by everyone," Kalie says.
The new model even has bodyguards to keep pesky paparazzi at by during her makeup session. But Kalie doesn't let the fame go to her head – she takes time out of her day for lunch with her friends.
Not too long though, it's time for Kalie to take to the Las Vegas Fashion Show mall's runway, complete with spectacular lighting and billboard-sized video screens. Kalie is thrilled by the flash of cameras and applause from her friends, family and fans.
Michael E. Minden Diamond Jewelers then presents her with a watch as a keepsake of her modeling debut.
Kalie says from the time she requested her wish she felt her spirits lift up with something else to think about than her illness.
"Focusing on the future was exactly the medicine I needed," she says.
Dr. Bernstein agrees. He sees how Kalie – usually a bit shy during visits – seems more spirited and outgoing after her wish came true.

Image processing on the console
GIMP isn't the only option for photo manipulation. ImageMagick, a collection of command-line programs for image processing, can help you process multiple images in one go.
The holidays are over and your new digital camera is bursting at the seams. Before setting up a photo gallery on your website, you need to sort through the photos and put together a few preview shots. Normally, you would fire up GIMP, open a single photo, process it, resize it, and then save it, repeating this process until you have sorted through all your photos. This method could eat up hours of your busy weekend.

Dear Editor,
I would like to congratulate Mark Blundell on receiving the Diamond Jubilee Award. I cannot think of anyone more deserving of that award. Mark has been very active in the community of Pemberton. He works very hard for this community and is generous with his time and makes many donations.
Mark was very instrumental in the raising of funds for the Pemberton Dragon Boat Teams. He has always championed the 4H Club and supported their many activities. He has been an active member of the Pemberton Legion and a member of the Lion�s club.
Mark and his wife Carolyn have privately helped many families and individuals in the valley, never seeking recognition, but helping others because they are kind individuals.
Mark has always wanted the best for Pemberton and has been involved in many ways. He is past president of the Pemberton Chamber of Commerce and still works very hard with them. He is a past councillor for the Village of Pemberton and is the Alternate Director for Susie Gimse at the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District. He is the present chair of the Pemberton Health Society.
Pemberton and District are indeed fortunate to have Mark and Carolyn Blundell as business owners and residents. They quietly go about helping people and working for the betterment of the community.
Congratulations Mark. It is a well deserved award.
Elinor Warner
Lumby B.C.

Wow, this is the one dress with that style of bottom that I've liked. Make another with the red/black color scheme please!
I actually thought this dress was rather pretty. Maybe a little too open in the back but still a nice dress. Hopefully something like it will come back and I will up vote it then. ^^
I find this dress to be unique, sexy, and classy, without being overdone.... ((wish I had the opportunity to to vote for it before the voting ended)). It seems like alot of the voters are a bit bias as to what only they can fit and are too conservative. There are plenty of other sites & stores out there for those who more conservative & plain-jane fashion style. However for those who like taking fashion risks, like piecing their wardrobe together and stand out aside from the rest of the crowd.... ROCK ON!
Pick Some More!
On to the next item! Make sure you vote on all the Be the Buyer items.

--Billy Joel and his wife Katie Lee have closed on their latest Sagaponack property for $11.625 million. It was on the market for $12.99 million. Apparently restrictive building codes prohibited the couple from adding to the home they bought from Roy Scheider last spring for $16.75 million. The new property, just west of Scheider's old place, has a three-bedroom home that Joel may use as a studio.
--Seagram heir Edgar Bronfman Jr. has picked up a 10-room apartment for $18.75 million in the Carhart mansion. Bronfman and his wife Clarissa already have a posh co-op on Fifth Avenue so it is not clear what they will do with their latest acquisition.
From the NY Times Big Deal:
The $45 million triplex at One Madison Park, the tower going up at 23 East 22nd Street, will include a one-bedroom unit on a lower floor for use by a private butler, who will be provided by the condominium indefinitely and paid by it as well. The proposal is still in the planning stages.

--British celebrity Anouska De Georgiou has paid $1,180,000 for a four-unit apartment building in the Los Angeles' Grove area and a few months ago she paid $1,167,000 for a three-bedroom, Spanish-style house in Los Angeles' Fairfax/WeHo area.

Check out the virtual tour and make your own judgement, Valley palace or slapdash decorating at its highest iteration?
--Britney Spears' former NY penthouse is back on the market for $6,995,000. Considering how much trouble Spears had selling this it is pretty amazing that Beverly Hills 90210 producer and writer Jessica Stein and her husband Isaac Levenbrown have put the home on the market for $2,995,000 more than they paid for it in August 2006. Spears also appears to have taken her Beverly Hills house off the market yet again. This after various gossip blogs have reporting that Spears has a fantasy room in the home and that Spears is not exactly the tidiest of housekeepers.
--Actress Angie Harmon and football player Jason Sehorn have put their three-bedroom Beverly Hills home on the market for $1.895 million. The listing is here. The Real Estalker Mama reports that the couple actually live in Hidden Hills in a much larger four-bedroom home that is right next to the one that Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels recently purchased.
From the LA Times Hot Property:
--Looks like I got it wrong on which Rising Glen house belongs to Rachel Zoe a few weeks back. Check out the listing for her home listed for $2.995 million here.
--Jerry Rice and his wife, Jackie have put their Atherton, California estate on the market for $22 million. You can see pictures here.

The Prince of Liechtenstein has broad powers; a referendum to adopt Hans-Adam's revision of the constitution to expand his powers passed in 2003. The changes also included a republican option, whereby the Prince was henceforth formally barred from vetoing any bill to establish a republic. In addition, the right of each of the parishes which make up the Principality to secede was recognised. Prince Hans-Adam had announced his intention for him and his family to move to Austria if the referendum failed. Despite opposition from Mario Frick, a former prime minister, the Prince's referendum motion was carried by the electorate.
On 15 Aug. 2004 Prince Hans-Adam II formally turned the power of making day-to-day governmental decisions over to his eldest son, Prince Alois, as a way of beginning a dynastic transition to a new generation. Legally, Hans- Adam remains Head of State.
Personal life
On 30 July 1967, at Vaduz, Liechtenstein, he married his second cousin once-removed, Countess Maarie Aglaë Kinsky von Wchinitz und Tattau (born 1940) who, upon her husband's accession to the throne, became Her Serene Highness the Princess of Liechtenstein. Their official residence is at Vaduz Castle, which overlooks the capital. (car) --------------------------------------------------------------------

Nightmare on Helm Street:
The Red Wings earned all of the zero points they got last night. Calgary came ready to play and Detroit did not. Really, this game was just a replay of the Columbus game from Saturday night. Nothing positive will be said in this post, so if you're not into that sort of thing, might want to skip this one.
Some brutal honesty after the jump:
Jimmy Howard is not our problem, but his numbers are not entirely a result of bad defense. Last year at this time we were calling him elite. Well, elite goalies don't have sub-.900 save percentages, no matter who's playing in front of him. He's making some very good saves, but 4 goals on 25-30 shots will not win games. It just won't. He needs to be better.
Kronwall is Kyle Quincey with points. Kronwall is out of position all the time, makes bad passes on the power play and shoots the puck into shin pads. He's been burned on a few bad calls, but he's also deserved plenty of them. Kronwall was our second best defenseman when Lidst...

Update: Chelsea Hot Spot Marquee Tries to Get Its Groove Back, Noah Tepperberg Responds
Update: Mr. Tepperberg responds below.
When describing Marquee, the recently reopened upper-Chelsea nightclub, you might find yourself falling back on that Talking Heads song "Heaven." You know, the bar where nothing, nothing ever happens? When a nightclub reopens exactly one decade after its first inauguration, in the exact same spot, with the exact same owners and the exact same name, it's hard not to drift back to the verse: "When this party is over, it will start again; it won't be any different, it'll be exactly the same."
