The other side of the coin is that the Irish aren't exactly losing to chopped liver. Their last four setbacks have come to ranked teams - AAA Logan, AA No.1 Hoover and single-A Madonna and Valley Fayette.
That fact hasn't been lost on Catholic coach Bill Mehle.
"That's what we keep talking about - and what we talked about at batting practice [Saturday],'' Mehle said. "If you look at our schedule, I'd match our schedule with any single-A team. Going to the beach, the Catholic schools tournament, then rolling through Hoover and Logan.
"It's a very, very competitive schedule, and the reason why we do that is to focus on what we need to do to win in the postseason. We told them there's two weeks left [in the regular season] to practice and now it's all about executing - learning how to execute in pressure situations. We've got to keep learning and keep our heads up and hope we plan on being hot at the right time two weeks from now.''
No Hoover hangover
Hoover coach Brian Young doesn't think his team will suffer a hangover following its first loss of the season.
"I don't think so,'' Young said following the setback at Poca. "We put the ball in play. We hit the ball right at them, and they made several nice plays. They got after it and made plays when they needed to. We helped them out by making errors on their side.''
The Huskies committed five errors that led to nine unearned runs for the Dots. On offense, Hoover outhit Poca 13-8, but was held to its lowest run total of the season. Twelve times in its first 16 games, Hoover scored 10-plus runs.
Young didn't want to pin all the blame on his team's fielding, even though the hitting and pitching were above average.
"It didn't let us down, I don't think,'' he said. "We didn't put timely hits together. We had 13 hits, but we never seemed to get hits with runners in scoring position the last two innings. We've got to put the ball in play and get one to fall for us.''
Hoover bounced back nicely Saturday with a 20-7 win at AAA Point Pleasant, bunching 15 runs into its final two at-bats to break a 5-all tie and snap the Big Blacks' 10-game win streak.
Tide rolls with Hunter
Hoover, which had six players hitting better than .450 to start last week, isn't the only team putting up some big offensive numbers this season.
Sherman junior John Hunter ended the week hitting a solid .567 through 18 games with 24 runs, 22 RBIs and 24 stolen bases. Included in his barrage are 18 extra-base hits - eight doubles, eight triples and two homers.
Hunter also contributes on the mound with 37 strikeouts in 33 innings and fields at a .980 clip as a pitcher-first baseman.
"He's a great kid and a role model for the younger players,'' said Tide coach Jeremiah Pettry. "He works hard on the field as well as in the classroom. He has aspirations of playing college baseball.''
The Tide (6-12) started the season 2-9, but is playing better lately.

On Monday's The Fosters' (9/8c, ABC Family), Callie Jacobs is right back where she began when the series premiered, in juvie. But this time around she has a loving family by her side -- if only she could see finally accept them into her life.
"It's complicated for Callie because her goal is to live independently and take control of her life and not be bound by the system or family or expectations of her that have been restricting," Maia Mitchell tellsTVGuide.com. "She gradually realizes that may not be the best thing for her, but it's hard when you've never been loved or nurtured to accept it because it's terrifying to have the thought of it being taken away."Exclusive First Look: Rosie O'Donnell joins The Fosters
The Fosters' Callie will find a new mentor in Rosie O'Donnell.
In the final moments of the Season 1 finale, Callie (Maia Mitchell) left the Fosters' home in the middle of the night after her little brother saw her kissing foster brother Brandon (David Lambert). When the show returns, Callie will have found herself at Girls United, a transitional home, where O'Donnell plays a social worker named Rita. In our first look photo from the second episode of the season — and the beginning of O'Donnell's arc — Rita is questioning Callie about an incident with one of the other foster kids.
The Fosters has been renewed for a second season, ABC Family announced Friday.
"The Fosters has demonstrated its ability to build an audience, and the creative team's compelling storytelling assures us that there will be more growth in upcoming seasons," Kate Juergens, ABC Family's executive vice president of programming, said in a statement. "The show's dynamic cast and groundbreaking story lines resonate with our core viewers and leave them wanting more."

The test of wills between Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) and Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) escalates to new heights of comedy in the third installment of the blockbuster series "Little Fockers." Laura Dern, Jessica Alba and Harvey Keitel join the returning all-star cast for a new chapter of the worldwide hit franchise. It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam (Polo) and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get "in" with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack. After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, however, Jack's suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back. When Greg and Pam's entire clan, including Pam's lovelorn ex, Kevin (Owen Wilson), descends for the twins' birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he's fully capable as the man of the house. But with all the misunderstandings, spying and covert missions, will Greg pass Jack's final test and become the family's next patriarch, or will the circle of trust be broken for good?
When one of the residents of the Girls United group home goes missing, the others form their own theories about her disappearance and learn about supporting each other as they all strive to improve their lot in life.

ABC Family's The Fosters makes history Monday (9/8c) when lesbian moms Stef (Teri Polo) and Lena (Sherri Saum) get hitched in TV's first gay wedding ... read more
"Here's the story
Of two lovely ladies ..."
Doesn't take long before ABC Family's The Fosters dispels one of its two moms' worries that if they keep adding kids to their already crowded household, "It's going to be like The Brady Bunch around here." Well, maybe if Carol had married Alice and Alice was an African-American private-school vice principal and Carol was a cop and the kids were a blended multi-racial rainbow of diversity. Earnest but rarely saccharine, this promising new family drama (Monday, 9/8c) — to be paired in future weeks with the channel's best series, Switched at Birth — establishes its edgier tone by introducing its main character, the abused but prideful Callie (Maia Mitchell), as she gets roughed up on her way out of juvy and into the welcoming custody of Lena (Sherri Saum), who hasn't yet told her partner-the-cop Stef (Teri Polo) about the new addition.
What's love got to do with it? Everything! Lesbian couple Stef (Teri Polo) and Lena (Sherri Saum) head a multiethnic family of foster and biological kids on the new ABC Family drama The Fosters (premiering Monday, June 3 at 9/8c). Executive producer Jennifer Lopez made it all happen — and tells us why.
TV Guide Magazine: You're already everywhere. Why add this gig to your crazy-busy life?Jennifer Lopez: It's irresponsible not to do TV like this if you get the chance. Like a lot of people, I was raised on idyllic shows like The Brady Bunch and Eight Is Enough. We need to put out the message that a family doesn't need to have one mom, one dad, one dog and a picket fence. A family is about love and acceptance.
ABC Family's new drama The Fosters will introduce TV viewers to a new kind of modern family. Executive-produced by Jennifer Lopez, the drama tells the story of Lena (Sherri Saum) and Stef (Teri Polo), a bi-racial lesbian couple that takes in Callie (Maia Mitchell), a troubled teen with an abusive past. The transition for Callie is anything but easy, especially as she tries to fit in with Stef's biological son Brandon (David Lambert) and the couple's adopted twins Mariana (Cierra Ramirez) and Jesus (Jake T. Austin).
Summer TV: Must-watch new shows
ABC Family will introduce its newest drama, The Fosters, on Monday, June 3. But you don't have to wait until summer for your first look at the official Foster family photograph.
Executive producer Jennifer Lopez, her longtime manager Benny Medina and Queer as Folk's Peter Paige helped develop this one-hour drama about a multi-ethnic mix of foster and biological kids being raised by two lesbian moms.

[JURIST] Vietnamese state media Saturday reported the release of 36-year-old lawyer and political dissident Le Quoc Quan [advocacy blog], the second pro-democracy dissident released by the Vietnamese government ahead of President Nguyen Minh Tribet's June visit to the United States. Quan, who has detained since March 8, was charged with violating Article 88 of the Vietnamese criminal code, which prohibits the dissemination of anti-government "propaganda," by advocating that Vietnam [JURIST news archive] should adopt a multi-party system of government. Last Saturday, Vietnamese authorities released Ngyuyen Vu Binh, a pro-democracy dissident jailed for promoting democracy on the Internet. Tribet's planned visit to the US, which has prompted the Vietnamese government to release dissents as a gesture of goodwill, will be the first for a Vietnamese head of state. In May, two Vietnamese human rights lawyers were sentenced [JURIST report] to five years and four years in prison for promoting democratic reforms. In March, a Catholic priest received an eight year prison sentence [JURIST report] for communicating with pro-democracy activists and distributing anti-government documents. AP has more.
[JURIST] US District Judge William M. Acker Jr. of the Northern District of Alabama Friday asked federal prosecutors to charge prominent Mississippi plaintiff's attorney Richard Scruggs with criminal contempt, saying that Scruggs "willfully violated" a preliminary injunction ordering Scruggs to turn over all documents secretly copied by two whistleblowers who allege that State Farm Insurance Co. and claims adjusting firm E.A. Renfroe and Co. Inc. [corporate websites] intentionally committed fraud to deny claims following the Hurricane Katrina disaster [JURIST news archive].Instead of handing the documents to Renfroe, Scruggs sent the documents to Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood [official website]. Hood subsequently sent the documents to Renfroe and Co. On Tuesday, Hood filed a lawsuit against State Farm Insurance Co. [JURIST report], alleging that the insurance company committed bad faith breach of contract related to a settlement reached on January 23. AP has more.
[JURIST] The US District Court for the District of Colombia Friday ordered [PDF text] the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) [official website] to release approximately 100,000 pages of documents detailing the FBI's use of national security letters (NSL) [CRS backgrounder, PDF; FBI backgrounder] pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) [DOJ backgrounder] request by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) [advocacy website; press release]. The order set a July 5 deadline for the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI to begin releasing documents to the EFF, and ordered the DOJ and FBI to release an additional 2500 pages of documents every 30 days thereafter. The EFF submitted its FOIA request on March 12, but sued the FBI in April after the FBI's failure to respond. The EFF is seeking to conduct an independent investigation of the FBI's improper use of NSLs [JURIST report], revealed in March by a DOJ review.On Wednesday, the FBI published new draft guidelines [JURIST report] concerning the use of NSLs, which require FBI agents to identify the specific information being requested and justify its necessity pursuant to an investigation. The guidelines are intended to correct privacy violations which the Washington Post reported [Washington Post report] Thursday were more numerous than previously reported by the DOJ's March report. AP has more.
[JURIST] Mike Elston, chief of staff to US Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty [official profile; JURIST news archive], announced his resignation Friday, making him the fifth Department of Justice (DOJ) official linked to the controversial firing of at least eight US Attorneys [JURIST news archive] to resign. Elston, whose resignation becomes effective at the end of next week, is accused of making threatening phone calls to at least four of the dismissed former US attorneys, urging them to remain silent about the circumstances of their firings. On March 5, Director of the Executive Office for US Attorneys (EOUSA)[official website] Michael A. Battle announced his resignation. Battle, who was responsible for the administrative management direction and oversight to all 93 US Attorneys, made the phone calls firing seven US attorneys in December of 2006. Former DOJ Chief of Staff Kyle Sampson [DOJ press release; JURIST news archive], who reportedly compiled three separate lists [JURIST report] of US attorneys that were considered for removal, resigned [DOJ press release] on March 12. Monica M. Goodling [JURIST news archive], who had been on voluntary leave from her post as special counsel to the US Attorney General, submitted her resignation on April 6 [JURIST report]. Goodling has since contradicted statements [JURIST report] made by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales concerning the firings and has also admitted to improperly considering applicants based on political consideration [JURIST report]. US Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty [official profile] announced on May 14 his resignation [JURIST report] as early as the end of the summer, or when a successor receives Congressional approval. McNulty has admitted that one of the firings was conducted to allow Tom Griffin, former aide to Karl Rove, to assume a US Attorney position, an allegation that Gonzales denies. AP has more.

Need Help with Falls
9 posts back to top |
Posted over 6 years ago Hey everybody! I need some help coming up with strategies on preventing falls. What do you guys do at your hospital to prevent falls? |
2 posts back to top |
| Posted over 6 years ago Our hospital uses a daily fall checklist that actually is done every shift to monitor every patient for their risk of falls if in the high catagory they have a fall bracelet and have an indicator on the outside of their door and on the Kardex. At least everyone will be aware who is a fall risk if it is not mentioned in report. The falls risk patients are close to the nurses station also. |

| Posted over 6 years ago Thanks Jeanne! Anybody else have any ideas? |

| Posted over 6 years ago When i was doing my clinicals at the hospital, they had color coded bars next to all the patient doors. Whatever fall category that patient was then that was the color used. Like orange was high fall risk and that bar would be out for everyone to see. Yellow was low risk and that bar would be out so everyone working would know which category each patient was. |

| Posted over 6 years ago Hi, I'm a LPN in Ohio and there is research that proves vitamin D3 if taken daily helps reduce falls. Our facility has taken this on and i have seen it work before my eyes. We had a gentleman that fell at least 3 times a day no matter what you did to prevent it. We did a Vitamin D3 level blood test and he had a deficiency. We started him on this med and it has helped. He has not fallen for the past two months. (knock on wood). We talked to the doctor and told him about the studies and he agreed to do it. Now everyone that is fall risk immediately gets a blood level draw of Vit D3 and if low we start them on the vitamin daily. It is prescribed in units. Hope this helps

With music by Tony Award nominee Frank Wildhorn (Wonderland, Jekyll & Hyde, The Civil War, The Scarlet Pimpernel), lyrics by Tony winner Don Black (Sunset Boulevard) and a book by Ivan Menchell (The Cemetery Club), the rockabilly-and-blues-scented musical is directed Tony nominee Jeff Calhoun (Broadway's Grease! in 1994, Brooklyn, Big River and Paper Mill Playhouse's Newsies). Opening night is Dec. 1.
Center stage, with guns in their hands as the title characters, are Laura Osnes, a 2011 Drama Desk nominee for playing Hope Harcourt in Anything Goes, and Jeremy Jordan, recently heroic Jack Kelly in Newsies at Paper Mill.
Music supervision/orchestrations/arrangements are by John McDaniel. Jason Howland is the music director.
Van der Schyff originated the role of Blanche Barrow and Claybourne Elder originated the role of Buck Barrow when Bonnie & Clyde first appeared, at the La Jolla Playhouse in fall 2009. It was named Best Musical by San Diego Theatre Critics Circle. They reprised their roles in fall 2010 when the show ran to critical acclaim at the Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota, FL. Osnes created her role in California (opposite Stark Sands) and played Florida, where Jordan became her leading man.

Kathleen Raitt, Jerry Frankel, Jeffrey Richards, Barry Satchwell Smith and Michael Jenkins are the producers of Bonnie & Clyde, which flirts with rockabilly, blues and gospel to tell the tale of a waitress and a troubled Texas teen whose notorious exploits captured the country's imagination during the Depression.
Gospel and folk and country aren't exactly new musical flavors for the prolific Wildhorn — his score to The Civil War was peppered with it. But he does draw a distinction between the two shows.
"Certainly, the Bonnie and Clyde score is more [of a] theatre score," he told Playbill.com earlier this year. "There's no question about that. I am very much wearing the hat where I am serving the book and piece here, but the style of music is very Americana, as opposed to the Civil War score, which was very much east of the Mississippi. This is very much west of the Mississippi, so from Texas two-step to…the Western/Southern style, which is a little more bluesy and a little more Dust Bowl in the guitar sound and things like that. It was so much fun to write that score and so much fun to write for Laura Osnes and Jeremy Jordan and Michael Lanning and all of these great people."
The creative team includes Tobin Ost (scenic and costime design), Michael Gilliam (lighting design), John Shivers (sound design), Aaron Rhyne (projection design), Telsey + Company (casting), Charles LaPointe (hair and wig design), Ashley Ryan (makeup design), Steve Rankin (flight director), Neil A. Mazzella and Paul J. Smith (production stage manager).
For tickets and information, visit Telecharge.com or call (212) 239-6200. Visit the official site at BonnieandClydeBroadway.com.

Be wary of Sticker boy .NET
Its my own fault. I should have realized that they were leading me on with promised of a corrected MBA skin.
Instead, I let too much time pass and now I can't take any action through Paypal. I ordered the wood tone skin from them and put it on my 2010 MBA. I perfectly aligned the skin to the Apple logo, but the skin was then off on 2 sides. I tried to compensate but either the edges or the apple logo were going to be off. I alerted sticker boy .NET immediately, and thus started the journey to nothing. At first they seemed like they wanted to help. They asked for pictures which I sent showing a perfectly aligned apple logo and 2 edges that were off. They sent me an invoice link to purchase a new skin and agreed that once I took off the old one and sent it back I would get a refund. Problem was they sent it in the wrong amount in the invoice. I requested a new invoice and they promised to do so. A couple of weeks went by with me reminding them. I finally got a response saying it had been escalated to someone else. Again more waiting. Then this Octivv guy says that I must admit to installing it improperly before they would talk to me further. I argue but eventually agree as I wanted a properly cut replacement. More time passes then he tells me his enginners are working on new installation instructions for me that will ensure I do it right. Ok, I guess that will help though I never thought I misinstalled it and my pictures proved I did not. More time passes. Nothing, no responses, nothing. Then a promise it will b ready by X-Mas....and that passes. I get sidetracked at work and forget. In the end, by the time I get back to this its too late to dispute. I can see no reason why they would have treated me so badly, other than they knew I was right and the skin was miscut. They could have sent a replacement, but I bet they are all miscut. They could have been honest and offered a refund. Nope. So word of caution to all. If you get a bad skin, give them 3 days to make it right or return it. When you return also dispute the paypal payment. |

Thoroughbreds Face Off During Saturday's Belmont Stakes Races
By Allison McCarthy on June 08, 2012 1:00 PM
When my boyfriend mentioned Triple Crown a few days ago, I thought he was talking about that weird bar that used to be on Market Street near the freeway. As it turns out, he was referring to THE Triple Crown, the trifecta of thoroughbred horse races that includes the beloved Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and this Saturday's Belmont Stakes. The third and final leg of the Crown, the Belmont Stakes determines the races' overall champion.

Yea i can see it be handy for the human areas. I think they would name things after specific people. I'm kind of doing the same for the mountains (being named by the dwarves) taking features i like and throwing them into a dwarf translator. That way i don't have to wrack my brain too hard lol.
For example, one of the mountain ranges is a place they lived for a while but then left due to a lack of ore. I translated Dead Mountain to Niikor Onol or another where they live now is by an inland sea so named it Udar Onol. I may play with the lettering some but i like the idea.

I'm going to pop.
Well, maybe I will as soon as I finish sweating.
I'm sitting in my car in the parking lot of Raffles Restaurant & Bar, where the Renegade Party is slowing down, writing this on my laptop.
After beginning the day in the mid-30s at the Cowboy Breakfast, early afternoon finds the car thermometer reading 85 and my belly registering full — and then some.
Four tacos kicked off the day — chorizo and egg, sausage and egg, Kiolbassa Sausage and barbacoa.
Lunch was unnecessary. But Renegade Party founder Alton Moczygemba had insisted I drop by today, and I was happy to help contribute to the Texas Cancer Clinic fund-raiser and eat some wild game.
So, before they started serving, I visited with some two dozen volunteer cooks in the parking lot behind Raffles — and they insisted I try some samples.
Retired Texas Parks & Wildlife Department inland fisheries biologist Jimmy Dean made me eat some of the catfish, bass, striper and redfish that he and Braunig/Calaveras fishing guide Manny Martinez were cooking.
Guide Charlie Brown brought a bunch of catfish from Choke Canyon, too.
A barbecue pit that looked like an X-15 was belching smoke through the tail while cooking up 10 pounds of tuna steaks that Jay Brown brought.
Benny Lyssy, Tracy Witte and about five other guys from the Karnes City Rotary Club's Lonesome Dove Fest were firing up seven cavernous Dutch ovens for peach and blueberry cobbler.
"We're just here helping Alton and promoting the Lonesome Dove Fest," Lyssy said, adding the two-day event family-style outdoor event celebrating the opening of the South Zone dove season will be Sept. 25-26.
And to help spread the word, Lyssy brought some 125 pounds of his secret recipe link sausage.
Then there were Ralph Winingham's Dove Bombs, made with dove breasts, serranos, cheese and bacon, and his Chef Ralph's Super Seasoning that doctored mounds of feral hog ribs, venison and more game.
So by the time they started serving at about 11:30, the line was out the front door at Raffles, which was good — I need to take a breather before filling a plate.
Inside Raffles, Ronnie Mason & The A Team Band were serving country classics to the hundreds filling the tables and providing a nice diversion to the folks in the line weaving through the door, the restaurant and out another door onto the serving area on the patio.
After getting a heaping plate and finishing that off, I needed another breather.
But Lyssy reminded me of his cobbler — and that I needed to try both the peach and the blueberry.
The Renegade Party is one of a number of events around the city that are spin-offs of the Cowboy Breakfast.
Most involve a lunch of some sort.
I'm just grateful there's not a cowboy dinner, too.

Benefits of Joining the UNK Army ROTC Program
Army ROTC is one of the most demanding and successful leadership programs in the country. For years, Army ROTC has been creating leaders who go on to rewarding careers in the military and civilian worlds. Here are just a few benefits a student can gain by enrolling in Army ROTC:
Within this section are links to more detailed explanations on this site. This information will help you offer you more practical advice to give your loved ones the information to enroll or apply for scholarships.
Enrolling in Army ROTC is not, strictly speaking, joining the Army. You will not be sent to "boot camp" or basic training. However, the primary purpose of the Army ROTC program is to produce Officers for the U.S. Army. So, you must agress to serve as Officers in the Army after graduation in order to go through the entire program, or if you have received an ROTC scholarship. Enrolling in ROTC Basic Course (the first two years of college) does NOT obligate you to serve unless you have also received a scholaship. For more details, see: Your Commitment.
Army ROTC offers two, three and four-year scholarships, which pay full tuitiou and fees or up to $10,000 room and board. Separate allowance for books, and monthly stipend of up to $5000 a year are also provided. Army ROTC scholarships are not retroactive. ROTC Scholarships are awarded based on merit and not on finacial needs.
Scholarship winners must serve for four years of active duty; non-scholarship Cadets who enroll in ROTC Advanced Course must serve for three years on active duty. Select Cadets may serve eight years in the Army Reserve or Army National Guard. All who graduate and complete ROTC training are commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the U.S. Army.
Army ROTC is one of the only college programs that teaches leadership. This training is invaluable for any career that involves leading, managing, and motivating people or fostering teamwork. Young Army Officers are typically responsible for hundreds of Soldiers and millions of dollards in equipment; this kind of management experience can be very attractive for post-Army employers.
The Army officer a wider range of career opportunities, in more place around the world, than any other U.S. military branch. For those that wish to remain in Nebraska after graduation, there are may opporunitiies to serve as a Army Reserve or Army National Guard Officer throughout numberous communits in Nebraska.
Army ROTC Cadets are allowed to major in nearly all academic areas.
Army ROTC classes normally involve one elective class and one lab per semester. Although the classes involve hands-on fieldwork as well as classroom work, they are standard college classes that fit into a normal academic schedule. These courses can help students with personal and academic decision-making while giving them the tools to exercise leadership in college life, even before graduating and becoming Officers. At UNK, the ROTC program closely moniters academic progression, grade point averages, and other university requirements. The UNK ROTC program seeks to ensure the academic success of all Cadets. This includeds stressing the importance of academic achievement and ensuring Cadets complete academic requirements, including UNK Study Hall.
Army ROTC Cadets have the same lifestyles and academic schedules as any other college students. They join fraternities and sororities. They participate in varsity team and individual sports. They take part in community service projects. But there are two intensive Army ROTC courses that take place on Army Posts, usually during the summer.
Leader's Training Course - This four-week summer course at Fort Knox, KY is ONLY for students who enroll in Army ROTC without having taken the first two years of military science classes.
Leader Development and Assessment Course - All Cadets who enter the Advanced course must attend this five-week summer course at Fort Lewis, WA between their junior and senior years.
It depends on the Army branch the Cadet chooses and the unit to which he/she is assigned. However, Army missions and challenges are always changing, so there is no way to know in advance which specialties and units will be needed where. All Soldier in the Army and Army Reserve face the possibility of deployment at some point during their careers. But all Soldiers are fully trained and proficient in the tasks and drills of their units. And Officers are specifically trained to make the right decisions so that missions can be carried out safely and successfully.
Yes. Select Cadets may choose to serve part-time in the U.S. Army Reserve or Army National Guard while pursuing a civilian career. For more dtails, see Active Duty and Army Reservce or the Army National Guard website.
Army ROTC graduates are commissioned as U.S. Army Second Lieutenants. They then receive specialized training in one of 17 different Army branches. During their Army careers, they will receive regular professional training as they advance through the ranks, and they will have many opportunities for advanced leadership positions and post-graduate education.

Today - Sunday, March 9, 2014
- Lyft, the developer of a ride-sharing mobile app, has raised $80M in a Series D fundraising round, with reports saying that the company was given a pre-money valuation of $700M.
- Andreessen Horowitz was one of the investors.
- The company is looking to bring in another $70M as part of the round.
- Lyft competes with Uber, which raised $250M at a $3.5B valuation last summer.
- Wayfair has raised $157M in a Series B round led by one-time Twitter investor T.Rowe Price, the online home-furnishings site has said. TripAdvisor CFO Julie Bradley also participated in the fundraising.
- Wayfair's valuation was $2B, Bloomberg reports. The company's sales jumped 55% last year to $915M.
- Wayfair has already reportedly started talks with banks about underwriting an IPO.

- Mexico's Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) has ordered America Movil (AMX) and Grupo Televisa (TV) to share their infrastructure with rivals as part of an attempt to increase competition in the country's telecom and broadcasting markets respectively.
- The IFT will also regulate Telefonica's prices, and it will force Televisa to publish its advertising prices and stop pressuring advertisers to purchase space on its billboards, cable TV and magazines.
- In addition, IFT has called for bidders for two national broadcast-television networks.
- The upside for America Movil is that once it has complied with the IFT's demands, the regulator may allow the company to start offering TV services.

- Citing "slowing consumer purchases" amid high penetration rates in mature markets, IDC now forecasts tablet shipments will grow 19.4% in 2014 (to 260.9M units), down from a prior estimate of 22% (271M units).
- Tablet growth steadily slowed in 2014: Shipments rose an estimated 142% in Q1, but just 28% in Q4. IDC puts full-year growth at 52%.
- Two silver linings for high-end/enterprise leader Apple (AAPL - 33.8% Q4 share): 1) ASPs are only expected to drop 3.6% in 2014, after falling 14.6% in 2013, as more consumers embrace "higher-end devices." 2) Commercial buyers are expected to account for 14% of shipments, up from 11% in 2013.
- IDC also thinks Windows (MSFT) tablets, struggling to gain a strong consumer foothold, will take over a quarter of the commercial segment thanks to rising convertible adoption.
- The revised forecast still puts tablet sales within striking distance of eclipsing PC sales: IDC expects PC shipments to drop 6% this year to 295.9M. Smartphone shipments are expected to grow 19% to 1.2B.
- Major tablet OEMs (besides Apple): SSNLF, LNVGY, AKCPF
- After falling 3.5% Y/Y in Q3, external disk storage system sales rose 2.4% in Q4, says IDC. The growth came even though sales of the servers that interact with these systems fell an estimated 4.4%.
- Total disk storage sales, which include storage subsystems found within servers, rose 1.3% in Q4 after dropping 5.6% in Q3. IDC attributes the turnaround to "traditional year-end budget flushes, improved economic sentiment, and a strong desire to address long-standing storage infrastructure inefficiencies."
- Market leader EMC, which posted strong Q4 numbers to go with light guidance, saw its external disk share rise 220 bps Y/Y to 32.9%, and its total disk share rise 200 bps to 25.8%. The gains largely came at the expense of restructuring IBM, whose shares respectively fell 190 bps and 200 bps to 13% and 14%.
- H-P's (HPQ) external disk share rose 30 bps to 9.6%, and its total disk share 40 bps to 16.3%. NetApp (NTAP), which delivered nearly in-line revenue and soft guidance last month, saw its external share fall 10 bps to 11.5%, and its total share stay flat at 9%. Private Dell's total share fell 140 bps to 9.9%.
- Hard drive/assembly suppliers: STX, WDC, HTCH
- Verizon (VZ) has signed off on a buyback program good for repurchasing up to 100M shares through Feb. 28, 2017. The program, arriving two weeks after the Vodafone/Verizon Wireless deal officially closed, is in theory good for repurchasing nearly 2.5% of outstanding shares.
- However, CFO Fran Shammo stated last month he doesn't expect Verizon to buy back any shares for at least 2-3 years, as it works to pay off the $60B+ in debt it took on to help finance the Vodafone deal.
- Verizon has largely refrained from buybacks in recent years, keeping its options open as it made giant Verizon Wireless dividend payments to Vodafone. The carrier repurchased only 3.5M shares through a 100M-share, three-year program that expired last month.
- Having already launched a wealth management platform for Chinese depositors, Baidu (BIDU -1.4%) is now heading a partnership that's applying for a private banking license. "Of the businesses the Internet will topple they naturally include finance," declares CEO Robin Li.
- Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent have all launched wealth management products, hoping to cross-sell consumers in a country with sky-high savings rates on investment vehicles that deliver much higher returns than those provided by state-owned banks.
- Alibaba's (ABABA) Yu'e Bao platform has been especially successful, attracting 81M users who have collectively deposited nearly RMB500B ($81B).
- The efforts haven't come without a backlash from incumbents: Three state-owned banks halted interbank deposit transactions with fund manager Tianhong Asset Management after Alibaba applied to buy 51% of the firm for $193M.
- But Premier Li Keqiang, who has pushed for a slew of financial reforms, says he supports the "healthy development" of Internet banking services.
- Palo Alto Networks (PANW +10.9%) is within striking distance of its post-IPO high of $79.99 after a mistrial was declared for rival Juniper's (JNPR -0.6%) infringement suit against the company. The judge presiding over the suit has instructed lawyers from both parties to meet to determine their next moves.
- FBR calls the decision a big "sigh of relief" for Palo Alto investors. Ahead of the mistrial announcement, Citi was already arguing the odds of a settlement had grown, given a judge's ruling that no second trial covering indirect infringement would occur.
- Citi even thinks a cross-selling deal between Palo and Juniper is possible, given Juniper's recent struggles in the branch office firewall market.
- Palo Alto's official statement
- DuPont Fabros (DFT -5.5%) discloses Yahoo (YHOO -2.4%) plans to sub-lease premises it directly leases at two DuPont data center facilities in Ashburn, VA. DuPont says the leases "represent 11% of the Company's operating property portfolio."
- Other data center owners have also sold off: DLR -3.7%. COR -2.3%. CONE -1.7%.
- Yahoo directly owns four data centers - they're in New York, Washington state, Nebraska, and Singapore. The company announced last October it's investing $170M to expand its New York facility.
- While Internet giants and cloud service providers remain among the top clients of independent data center owners, they've also been making huge investments in custom, energy-efficient data centers of their own.
- AdAge reports Instagram (FB -1.5%), which only began showing ads last fall, has scored a year-long commitment from top ad agency Omnicom (OMC -0.1%) to spend up to $100M. The magazine also reports Instagram is talking with Starcom MediaVest, another leading agency.
- Instagram has confirmed the tie-up, but not its specifics. "Our teams are going to work hand in hand to develop and execute campaigns that provide people with amazing imagery."
- The mobile photo-sharing platform has been cautious with its efforts to monetize its ~180M MAUs. Select brands and their agency partners are currently able to buy photo/video-based ads that appear in a user's stream, but the ads have to meet Instagram's stringent quality standards.
- Previous: Instagram chief focused on discovery, international growth, ecosystem
- Nokia (NOK +2.4%) has been added to Credit Suisse's U.S. and European focus lists. CS is optimistic about Nokia's ability to grow its high-margin patent licensing ops following the Microsoft deal - other firms have aired similar opinions - and also thinks major cash distributions could be on the way.
- Dan Loeb has argued a Nokia buyback or special dividend could happen post-Microsoft. The company stands to have ~€8B in net cash once the deal closes, and has suggested it's eying smaller acquisitions rather than a big one. Nokia suspended its regular dividend a year ago.
- CEO Rory Read appeared on CNBC's Fast Money (video) yesterday evening to talk up AMD's (AMD +6.3%) efforts to lower exposure to a PC market featuring soft industry demand, short product cycles, and intense competition from Intel/Nvidia.
- Read, in reference to his company's PS4/Xbox One design wins: "What we're trying to do is create these long-term strategic relations .... Those are the plays that are going to create the long-term transformation of AMD." In addition to consoles, AMD is looking to create partnerships in the server and embedded computing markets.
- He asserts only 4% of AMD's revenue came from non-PC applications when he joined the company, and that over 30% do so now. Long-term, AMD wants to derive half its revenue from non-PC markets.
- At the same time, Read argued AMD, whose PC CPU ops have historically been heavily exposed to the low-end consumer notebook market (hit hard by tablets), has "greenfield" opportunities in the desktop and commercial markets. The company recently launched low-end desktop CPUs based on its 28nm Kabini architecture (previous), with the goal of enabling high-volume sub-$300 systems for emerging markets.
- With over 1/6 of the float shorted as of Feb. 14, Friday short-covering is likely contributing to today's gains.
- Ahead of its March 19 lockup expiration, FireEye (FEYE -9.7%) is offering 14M shares - 5.6M newly-issued shares, and 8.4M from existing shareholders - at a price of $82 (8% below yesterday's closing price). Underwriters have a sizable 2.1M-share overallotment option (all for new shares).
- FireEye, which has forecast a $2.00-$2.20/share loss for 2014 due to massive sales investments, stands to reap gross proceeds of $458M from the offering. The new shares stand to increase FireEye's diluted count by 5%.
- Twitter's (TWTR -1.3%) first 10-K filing reveals the company's "ad engagements" rose 74% Q/Q and over 6x Y/Y in Q4. At the same time, this surge in ad impressions/inventory led the company's average cost per engagement to fall 18% Q/Q and 69% Y/Y.
- Twitter notes the launch of its promoted tweet/trend/account ad products on mobile served to grow inventory, as did their launch in new international markets. The company unveiled a slew of new ad products in Q4, including ones specifically aimed at TV viewers and mobile app users.
- Also disclosed: Twitter's U.S. ad revenue per 1K Timeline views is still more than 6x international levels ($3.80 vs. $0.60). The U.S. figure rose 48% Q/Q, and the international figure 67%. This gap is the reason international sales accounted for only 27% of Q4 revenue, even though Twitter's international active user base is more than 3x as large as its U.S. base.
- Twitter says it paid $36M to buy 900 patents from IBM, and thus end an IP dispute with the IT giant.
- Jury deliberations are continuing for Juniper's (JNPR -0.6%) huge patent infringement suit against Palo Alto Networks (PANW +4.6%). Palo Alto shares have spiked higher on hopes of a favorable outcome.
- Juniper has alleged Palo Alto's next-gen firewalls (taking share from Juniper, Cisco, and others) infringe on IP developed by Palo Alto's founders when they were working at NetScreen (acquired by Juniper in 2004).
- Palo Alto shares jumped in early February after the court handling the suit denied a Juniper infringement motion, and granted two Palo Alto motions for summary judgment.
- ExOne (XONE +2.1%) has bought MWT, a German maker of industrial microwaves, and the assets of Machin-A-Mation, a Michigan-based machining shop. Between them, the acquisitions cost $9.8M.
- The 3D printer maker says MWT's microwaves will be used to strengthen its sand printing offerings, and that Machina-A-Mation, located near an ExOne production service center focused on aerospace/shipbuilding clients, will help it "address the finishing requirements for complex parts which are cast from [ExOne's] 3D printed sand molds."
- MWT's microwave ops will be folded into ExOne's Augsburg, Germany manufacturing ops.
- Sources tell Reuters (translation) Vodafone (VOD -2.8%) has raised its bid for Spanish cable giant ONO, and has reached a preliminary deal with ONO shareholders collectively possessing a controlling stake.
- No word on the specific offer price. Vodafone was previously reported to have made a rejected €7B ($9.6B) bid for ONO.
- One source states Vodafone plans to formally present its offer before ONO's board meets on March 13 to approve recently-announced plans to pursue an IPO.
- Vodafone is selling off on the report. A successful Vodafone bid for ONO, coming on the heels of its $14.2B Kabel Deutschland acquisition, could lower the odds AT&T (T +0.3%) will make an offer for the company once its 6-month waiting period ends. AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson has reportedly told investors further cable acquisitions by Vodafone would complicate a deal.
- Ambarella (AMBA -5.4%) guided on its CC (transcript) for FQ1 revenue of $39M-$41M, in-line with a $40M consensus. However, the company also forecast its gross margin would fall to 61%-63% from an FQ4 level of 64.1%.
- The reason: Amabarella expects a mix shift towards the lower-margin Chinese security camera market, as sports camera chip sales decline Y/Y due to the launch of three GoPro camera a year ago. Security and sports camera-related sales were roughly even at the end of FQ4.
- In addition, automotive chip sales are expected to be down Y/Y in FQ1, and broadcast infrastructure chip sales are expected to remain under pressure in FY15 (ends Jan. '15). Automotive growth is still expected for FY15
- FQ4 gross margin rose 80 bps Y/Y, as growing sales of Ambarella's higher-margin A7LA and A7LS video-processing SoCs (used in sports/automotive cameras) offset slumping high-margin infrastructure SoC sales. Opex rose 22% Y/Y to $19.9M, trailing revenue growth of 27%.

Team of the Decade Card Showdown: No. 7 Jay Jalbert vs. No. 23 Geoff Snider
Sean Burns - 11/22/2009
We're on to the Sweet 16 of our Team of the Decade card showdown, where our readers can chime in with their votes for the top card out of the 23 created by IL Art Director James Schaffer as part of our Team of the Decade spread in the December Issue. The concept is for the vote to be based upon the appearance of the card itself, but feel free to vote as you please and comment below if you're feeling saucy. Voting ends on Friday the 27th.
Round of 16: No. 23 seed Geoff Snider vs. No. 7 seed Jay Jalbert
The Skinny: The lowest seed of the bracket springs the upset, with the Calgary vote carrying Geoff Snider past Baltimore native Ryan Boyle by a landslide (451-242 - 65%-35%). Whether it was the clean Denver uniform look of the card or the fear that our January issue cover subject would beat you up if you voted for the Triology coach, Snider cleaned house. Can he keep the roll going against the old-school look of Jalbert's card in the second round?

[JURIST] Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa [official website] on Sunday rejected calls for his government to provide full humanitarian access to Tamil displacement camps in the country, saying the camps still needed to be screened for rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam (LTTE) [SIG backgrounder] insurgents. On Saturday, Rajapaksa had issued a joint statement [text] with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon [official website] which said that aid agencies would be given access to internally displaced persons (IDPs) at the camps:
With regard to IDPs, the United Nations will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to the IDPs now in Vavuniya and Jaffna. The Government will continue to provide access to humanitarian agencies. The Government will expedite the necessary basic and civil infrastructure as well as means of livelihood necessary for the IDPs to resume their normal lives at the earliest. The Secretary-General welcomed the announcement by the Government expressing its intention to dismantle the welfare villages at the earliest as outlined in the Plan to resettle the bulk of IDPs and call for its early implementation.

What Is the MMR?
Unlike the flu vaccine and a number of other childhood immunizations, the mumps/measles/rubella vaccine does not and did not contain thimerosal (a mercury-based preservative). MMR is one of several live viral vaccines (chicken pox vaccine and the nasal flu vaccine are two others). It is routinely given at 12 to 15 months of age, which is the age when autism is first likely to become evident.How Did the MMR Vaccine Become So Controversial?
The concern over MMR began when Dr. Andrew Wakefield, a British gastroenterologist, tested 12 youngsters with and without autism and found a possible link between measles virus in the gut and autism. The theory presented was that certain children have a genetic predisposition to immune issues -- and that a variety of environmental toxins begin to attack the child's immune system early on.Researcher's at Wakefield's Texas-based foundation called Thoughtful House, claim that "The child develops a leaky gut, tissue damage gets worse, the immune system grows weaker, and autoimmune reactions start. Then a lot of children experience a catastrophic event. Either in the form of a significant illness or a live virus vaccine. The immune system is overwhelmed and the child rapidly goes downhill. Some parents report a gradual deterioration, but many children seem to develop autism after a particular event. They go into the hospital or they get an MMR shot and they're never the same again. Autism is the end result of this developing series of reactions." These claims have not been supported by any other studies including those that attempted unsuccessfully to replicate his results. More than 20 peer-reviewed epidemiologic studies have shown no link between MMR and autism. In fact, Dr. Wakefield's original study was completely discredited. Ten of the 12 authors withdrew their support from the article.
The CDC's Perspective
Again, the CDC, the Institutes of Medicine, and other major research institutions looked into the issue, and found that there was an enormous amount of evidence that there is no connection between the MMR vaccine and autism and that there is no credible evidence that a link did exist. Some studies have suggested that autistic children do have more gastrointestinal problems. In addition, some research suggests that some kind of interaction between genetic predispositions and environmental issues may contribute to autism. As with the issue of thimerosal, there have been suggestions that research conducted by government agencies has been flawed or that evidence has been withheld from the public. Some MMR opponents claim that researchers who work for NIH and CDC come from and return to large pharmaceutical firms -- and they and their firms have a great deal of money at risk.The bottom line:
Much is not known about the cause or causes of autism. A combination of environmental factors and genetic predisposition may indeed play a significant role in the causation of autism. The overwhelming weight of scientific evidence, however, tells us that vaccines like MMR or preservatives like thimerosal are not causing autism.

2009 Nissan Maxima S
ProsIt's fun, fast and I get lots of compliments on it every where I go! ConsEasy to go fast in.
Love It!!!! — Handels great drives fast. Only repairs I have done on the car is i had to replace a cracked windshield from a rock on the road hitting it. Looks great inside and out has custome 2 tone leather and heated seats AMAZING in the winter time! Gas Milage isnt bad depending on how fast you drive. I only put the very expensive oil in my car so maintenance for me has been a little more expensive than it needed to be. and the fun factor is how fast it can go with little effort, however that can sometimes get me in a little trouble! ;) Primary Use: Commuting to work

2009 Nissan Maxima SV
ProsPower,ride, and electronics ConsIt is black so you have to keep it clean.
Jealous??? — Looks sweet, and with the acceleration and handling it make for a sweet ride. It also has all the bells and whistles you could ask for. The 19" factory rims are sweet, and the beefed up suspension let you really move around the corners. The best part might be all the looks you get just driving around passing everyone else. |

The so-called "second season" is ready to begin this week for the hoopsters on the Olympic Peninsula and Tuesday's Port Angeles/Sequim basketball games were to decide which teams will play at home Thursday when the West Central Sub-District tournament begins.
Port Angeles' and Sequim's boys squared off in the 'Rider gym last night to decide second place in the final Olympic League standings.
The 'Riders went in with an 11-4 record, the Wolves were 10-5. A 'Rider win last night gives Port Angeles second place and they will host two games Thursday night, with Sequim playing the opener at 5:30 p.m. and the 'Riders playing at 7:30 p.m.
If Sequim's boys pulled off a win and won a seeding coin toss, the two games will be in Sequim Thursday, with P.A. playing the opening game. It looks like the foes will be Franklin Pierce, White River or Renton.
There will be two games Saturday at North Kitsap because P.A. and Sequim athletic directors could not convince teams from the Seamount and South Puget Sound leagues to travel to the Olympic Peninsula twice in the same week.
All four teams involved will advance to the West Central District tournament next week, with seeds 5-8 on the line for district contests.
The 16 top teams from the Seamount, South Puget Sound 2A and Olympic leagues will battle for 12 berths in the West Central District tournament.
The boys start Thursday. The top two teams from Seamount and the top three from SPSL and Olympic each qualify for districts, but each must play two games to decide seeding spots 1-8.
The Seamount's No. 3, 4, and 5 teams, along with Olympic's No. 4 and 5 teams and the South Puget Sound League's No. 4, 5 and 6 teams, play loser-out games Thursday; four of those teams qualify for the West Central District tourney (seeds 9-12).
The girls open play Friday with the same format.
Here is where the big change in hoopla begins. Twelve teams start. The same ones who played in the sub-district play for six berths in the state tournament in Yakima.
Seeds No. 1-4 draw first-round byes. Girls open on Feb. 15 at Foss and Lakes high schools. The ladies play the second round on Feb. 17 and Feb. 19, and the finals are Feb. 21 at Curtis High School and the ShoWare Center in Bellevue.
The boys play Wednesday, Feb. 16; Friday, Feb. 18; Saturday, Feb. 19; and Monday, Feb. 21, at the same venues. Yes, district officials will try to keep two schools in the tournament at the same location. Emphasize try — never have P.A. and Sequim been given a break.
A total of 16 teams start out Friday-Saturday, Feb. 25-26. Olympic League teams could be playing at Stanwood, Mount Tahoma or Tum-water.
Games involving first and second seeds from the various 2A districts send winners direct to state, while the losers of those games have to play Saturday for berths at state.
State will find eight teams starting play Thursday, March 3, in a double elimination three-day bash in the Sun Dome to decide the top six 2A places.
Not everybody is happy with the new state tournament looks. The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association decided last April to reconfigure the tournaments because of losses in the neighborhood of $150,000 for the four-day, 16-team events.
Yakima had hosted three tournaments lasting four days each and the Yakima people figure to lose around $4.5 million in revenue with two tournaments and four-night stays by fans instead of eight or nine days.
Tacoma will have two tourneys and Spokane two.
In past years, the B, A and 2A tournaments have made money; it's the 3A and 4A that have lost money. One reason for that is the WIAA's change of the tourney format several years ago.
The second day of the tourney used to have two loser-out games, then two quarterfinal games in the morning and afternoon, then one loser-out game, two quarterfinals and one loser-out to finish.
The WIAA moved the quarterfinals to late afternoon and evening. Thus, the four loser-out games did not generate much interest from fans of those schools or the general public.

► Phage tails and other contractile injection systems contain a central spike protein ► The tip of the spike is "hardened" by a centrally positioned iron ion ► The spike appears to pierce the host cell membrane without unfolding ► An OB-fold with an extra β-hairpin is a conserved feature of all central spikes
Bacteriophages with contractile tails and the bacterial type VI secretion system have been proposed to use a special protein to create an opening in the host cell membrane during infection. These proteins have a modular architecture but invariably contain an oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB-fold) domain and a long β-helical C-terminal domain, which initiates the contact with the host cell membrane. Using X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy, we report the atomic structure of the membrane-piercing proteins from bacteriophages P2 and ϕ92 and identify the residues that constitute the membrane-attacking apex. Both proteins form compact spikes with a ∼10Å diameter tip that is stabilized by a centrally positioned iron ion bound by six histidine residues. The accumulated data strongly suggest that, in the process of membrane penetration, the spikes are translocated through the lipid bilayer without undergoing major unfolding.

HOLLAND — Jake Taylor and Aaron Varner led the Bald Eagle Area wrestling team to a solid start at the 32-team Escape the Rock Tournament.
Taylor and Varner both went 2-0 on Saturday to reach Sundays semifinals. Taylor went 2-0 at 182 pounds, pinning Manheim Townships John Shorter in 3:32 in the quarterfinals. Varner went 2-0 at 195, majoring Big Springs Tommy Rayhart 17-4 in the quarterfinals.
The top-seeded Taylor faces Daulton Gregory of Salesianum (Del.) in the semifinals. The fourth-seeded Varner wrestles top-seeded P.J. Steinmetz of Council Rock South. Steinmetz, a Penn State recruit, finished third at 195 at last years PIAA Class AAA tournament. Varner placed sixth.
Cobey Bainey (106), Travis Giedroc (113), Clint McCaslin (132), Ben Verbitskey (170), Nate Sharkey (220) and Josh Fye (285) remain alive in consolation brackets for the Eagles.
Verbitskey and Sharkey both lost in the semifinals. Forest Parks Brett Stein pinned Verbitskey in 3:36. Saucon Valleys Ray ODonnell pinned Sharkey in 4:28.
The Eagles ended the first day 11th in the team standings with 69.5 points. District 11 Parkland leads the field with 123.5 points. Owen J. Roberts trails the Trojans by 15 points. Central Mountain is in eighth place with 76.5 points.

Microbiology Distinguished Lecture: "Sticking to Your Point"
William (Clay) Fuqua, Department of Biology, Indiana University, Bloomington, will present a Distinguished Lecture in Microbiology: "Sticking to your point: deployment and function of a unipolar
polysaccharide adhesin by Agrobacterium tumefaciens"
4:15 p.m. Wednesday, November 28 in 218 Pearson Hall.
Research projects in Fuqua's laboratory focus on cell-to-cell interactions of bacteria, which allow them to communicate with and physically contact one another to coordinate their behavior and form complex multicellular structures.
These interactions often occur when microbes colonize a host. His research group studies mechanisms of microbial cellular interactions in three contexts. The first context is quorum sensing, a form of intercellular signaling, in plant-associated bacteria such as grobacterium tumefaciens. The second context is biofilm formation by surface-adherent microbial communities. The third context is composition and
organization of microbial communities in invertebrate hosts, such as ticks that can transmit diseases to humans.
Fuqua received his Ph.D. in Microbiology from the University of Maryland and pursued postdoctoral research at Cornell University prior to joining Indiana University, where he is affiliated with the Department of Biochemistry, the Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics, and the Indiana Molecular Biology Institute.
In addition to being honored for his research accomplishments, Fuqua has received multiple teaching awards and has served as a Waksman Foundation for Microbiology Lecturer under the auspices of the American Society for Microbiology.

Serves 16
In Spain, slices of this sweet, fragrant paste, called membrillo, are served atop wedges of rich Manchego cheese as an hors d'oeuvre. Try it with goat cheese as well—or just put it out for breakfast in place of jam.
Put the quinces, vanilla bean pod and seeds, and lemon zest in a 4-quart saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the quinces are tender when poked with a knife, about 40 minutes.
Drain the quinces in a colander and discard the vanilla bean. Purée the fruit and lemon zest in a food processor. Measure the purée by volume, return it to the saucepan, and add an equal volume of sugar. (For example, if you have 2 cups of purée, add 2 cups of sugar.)
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the sugar has dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the purée becomes a very thick paste, about 1-1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 125°F. If your oven doesn't go this low, use the lowest temperature possible and expect a shorter cooking time. Line an 8x8-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with parchment and grease with the butter. Pour the quince paste (don't scrape the pot) into the dish and smooth the top with the wooden spoon. Bake until slightly dried and firm enough to slice, about 1 hour.
Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Invert onto a cutting board and cut the quince paste into four 2-inch-wide strips. Wrap each strip in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
The quince paste will keep for up to 1 month.

by brava313, 12/7/2013Very sweet, with a slightly grainy texture, like that of guava paste, but with a flavor all its own. I'm glad to know that this paste is freezable, because my husband doesn't like it (too sweet and stiff); I have to eat it all myself. Quinces are so fragrant, that the house smelled like some exotic perfume while the paste was in the oven, and for hours afterward. I think next year I might bake it in small, glass refrigerator containers. That way I can just cover the surfaces with parchment paper, put on the tight-fitting lids, and pop most of them in the freezer.
by renkow, 9/28/2012I made this recipe exactly one year ago and have just enough left for one more serving. It is the best appetizer ever! I prepared it as stated in the recipe and poured it onto a parchment lined jelly roll pan. I smoothed out the surface and placed another sheet of parchment over it to store it. I kept the paste in my freezer in this way until today when we finally finished it. I slice it in a long row and cut diagonally across to create triangle sliced the shape of my cheese. I keep a wedge of Spanish Manchego cheese in my cheese drawer to create this tasty treat when we have guests. I just went next door to my neighbors tree and got another batch for this next year.
