Chloe is a French fashion house founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion. Its headquarters is in Paris.
"Prior to Chloe's launch, luxury fashion houses had only ever produced Haute Couture (i.e. made-to-measure) clothing. This was fine for the few who could afford it, but it left everyone else in frequently poorly-made copies, supplied by the local seamstress.
Chloe's creator, Gaby Aghion, rejecting the stiff formality of 1950s fashion (and sensing a gap in the market), decided to create a line of off the rack, high quality, soft, body conscious clothes from fine fabrics, which she called "luxury pret-a-porter" and thus, the Pret-a-Porter (Ready-To-Wear) market we know today, was born.
The couturiers quickly followed suit (the first being Givenchy, with their 1956 Ready-to-Wear collection; 'Givenchy University') and today, designer ready-to-wear heavily outweighs couture."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Delegates are expected to meet in two weeks to decide the next speaker of the House.
Although the leading contenders for the position met Thursday, there's still no consensus candidate.
"Nope, not yet. We're not there," said House Finance Chairman Harry Keith White, D-Mingo.
White and House Judiciary Chairman Tim Miley, D-Harrison, are the two delegates vying to replace Speaker Rick Thompson, D-Wayne. Last month Thompson announced he would step down as speaker to take the position of cabinet secretary for the Department of Veterans Assistance.
Current Secretary Keith Gwinn is resigning because of health reasons. In a letter sent Wednesday to Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, Gwinn said the resignation is effective June 15. Thompson is expected to step down the same day. Once he resigns, Tomblin has 10 days to call a special session of the House.
Miley said Thursday he heard from the governor's office that Tomblin will call the session for June 18.
Almost immediately following Thompson's announcement, Democrats have jockeyed to find the next speaker. Miley and White emerged as the frontrunners for the spot after current members of House leadership couldn't agree on a single candidate.
Both candidates quickly sought public endorsements. Miley says he has close to 40 delegates, more than the 28 needed to have the majority of Democrats in the House. White said some of the delegates openly supporting Miley have told him they'd vote for him in a secret ballot.

Karel Čapek (Czech: [ˈkarɛl ˈtʃapɛk] ( )) (January 9, 1890 – December 25, 1938) was a Czech writer of the early 20th century best known for his science fiction, including his novel War with the Newts and the play R.U.R. that introduced the word robot.
Arthur Miller wrote in 1990: "I read Karel Čapek for the first time when I was a college student long ago in the Thirties. There was no writer like him...prophetic assurance mixed with surrealistic humour and hard-edged social satire: a unique combination...he is a joy to read".[1]
Born in 1890 in the Bohemian mountain village of Malé Svatoňovice to an overbearing, emotional mother and a distant yet adored father, Čapek was the youngest of three siblings. Čapek would maintain a close relationship with his brother Josef, living and writing with him throughout his adult life.[2]
Čapek became enamored with the visual arts in his teenage years, especially Cubism. He studied in Prague at Charles University and at the Sorbonne in Paris.[3] Exempted from military service due to the spinal problems that would haunt him his whole life, Čapek observed World War I from Prague. His political views were strongly affected by the war, and as a budding journalist he began to write on topics like nationalism, totalitarianism[4] and consumerism. Through social circles, the young writer developed close relationships with many of the political leaders of the nascent Czechoslovak state. This included Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk and his son Jan, who would later become foreign secretary.
His early attempts at fiction were mostly plays written with brother Josef.[citation needed] Čapek's first international success was Rossum's Universal Robots, a dystopian work about a bad day at a factory populated with sentient androids. The play was translated into English in 1922, and was being performed in the UK and America by 1923. Throughout the 1920s, Čapek worked in many writing genres, producing both fiction and non-fiction, but worked primarily as a journalist. .[4] In the 1930s, Čapek's work focused on the threat of brutal national socialist and fascist dictatorships; by the mid-1930s, Čapek had become "an outspoken anti-fascist".[4] His most productive years were during the The First Republic of Czechoslovakia (1918–1938). He wrote Talks with T. G. Masaryk[5] – Masaryk was a Czechoslovak patriot, the first President of Czechoslovakia, and a regular guest at Čapek's "Friday Men" garden parties for leading Czech intellectuals. Čapek was also a member of Masaryk's Hrad political network. This extraordinary relationship between the writer and the political leader may be unique. He also became a member of International PEN and established, and was first president of, the Czechoslovak Pen Club.[6]
Soon after 1938 it became clear that the Western allies (France, Great Britain) had failed to fulfill the agreements(Western betrayal), and failed to defend Czechoslovakia against Adolf Hitler. Karel Čapek refused to leave his country – despite the fact that the Nazi Gestapo had named him Czechoslovakia's "public enemy number two."[citation needed] Though he suffered all his life from the condition spondyloarthritis, Karel Čapek died of double pneumonia on December 25, 1938 shortly after part of Czechoslovakia was annexed by Nazi Germany following the so-called Munich Agreement. Čapek is buried at the Vyšehrad cemetery in Prague. His brother Josef Čapek, a painter and writer, died in the Nazi Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.[7]
K.Čapek wrote with intelligence and humor on a wide variety of subjects. His works are known for their interesting and precise description of reality.[citation needed] Čapek is renowned for his excellent work with the Czech language.[citation needed] He is known as a science fiction author, who wrote before science fiction became widely recognized as a separate genre. Capek can be considered as one of the founders of classical, non-hardcore European science fiction which aims on possible future (or alternative) social and human evolution on Earth.[citation needed]
However, K.Čapek is comparable with Aldous Huxley and George Orwell as a speculative fiction writer, distinguishing his work from genre-specific hard science fiction.[citation needed]
Čapek began his writing career as a journalist. With his brother Josef, he worked as an editor for the Czech paper "The National Newspaper" Narodni Listy from October 1917 to April 1921. Upon leaving, he and Josef joined the staff of "The People's Paper" Lidove noviny in April 1921.[8] Many of his works discuss ethical aspects of industrial inventions and processes already anticipated in the first half of the 20th century. These include mass production, nuclear weapon, and post-human intelligent beings such as robots or salamanders.
Čapek also expressed fear from social disasters, dictatorship, violence, human stupidity, the unlimited power of corporations, and greed. Capek tried to find hope, and the way out. Čapek's literary heirs include Ray Bradbury, Salman Rushdie, Brian Aldiss, and Dan Simmons.[citation needed]
From the 1930s onward, Čapek's work became increasingly anti-fascist, anti-militarist, and critical of what he saw as "irrationalism".[9]
Ivan Klíma, in his biography of Čapek, notes his influence on modern Czech literature, as well as on the development of Czech as a written language. Čapek, along with contemporaries like Jaroslav Hašek, spawned part of the early 20th century revival in written Czech thanks to their decision to use the vernacular. Klíma writes, "It is thanks to Čapek that the written Czech language grew closer to the language people actually spoke".[2] Čapek was also a translator, and his translations of French poetry into the language inspired a new generation of Czech poets.[2]
His other books and plays include detective stories, novels, fairy tales and theatre plays, and even a book on gardening.[10] His most important works attempt to resolve problems of epistemology, to answer the question: "What is knowledge?" Examples include Tales from Two Pockets, and the first book of the trilogy of novels Hordubal, Meteor, and An Ordinary Life.
After World War II, Čapek's work was only reluctantly accepted by the communist government of Czechoslovakia, because during his life he had refused to accept communism as a viable alternative. He was the first in a series of influential non-Marxist intellectuals who wrote a newspaper essay in a series called "Why I am not a Communist".[11]
In 2009 (70 years after his death), a book was published containing extensive correspondence by Karel Čapek, in which the writer discusses the subjects of pacifism and his conscientious objection to military service with lawyer Jindřich Groag from Brno. Until then, only a portion of these letters were known.[12]
Etymology of robot[edit]
Karel Čapek introduced and made popular the frequently used international word robot, which first appeared in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) in 1920. While it is frequently thought that he was the originator of the word, he wrote a short letter in reference to an article in the Oxford English Dictionary etymology in which he named his brother, painter and writer Josef Čapek, as its actual inventor.[13] In an article in the Czech journal Lidové noviny in 1933, he also explained that he had originally wanted to call the creatures laboři (from Latin labor, work). However, he did not like the word, seeing it as too artificial, and sought advice from his brother Josef, who suggested roboti (robots in English).
The word robot comes from the word robota, meaning literally "serf labor", and, figuratively, "drudgery" or "hard work" in modern Czech (in Slovak, Russian, Polish, archaic Czech and other Slavic languages the cognate word means simply "work", comparable to German Arbeit, with the same meaning.).
An outline of Čapek's works[edit]
- 1920 – R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) (Rossumovi univerzální roboti) – play with one of the first examples of artificial human-like beings in art and literature.
- 1921 – Pictures from the Insects' Life (Ze života hmyzu), also known as The Insect Play or The Life of the Insects, with Josef Čapek, a satire in which insects stand in for various human characteristics: the flighty, vain butterfly, the obsequious, self-serving dung beetle.
- 1922 – The Makropulos Affair (Věc Makropulos) – play about human immortality, not really from a science-fiction point of view. The celebrated opera by Leoš Janáček is based on it.
- 1927 –Adam the Creator (Adam stvořitel) (1927) – The titular hero tries to destroy the world and replace it with a better one.[9]
- 1937 – The White Disease (Bílá nemoc) – earlier translated as Power and Glory. About the conflict between a pacifist doctor and the fascistic Marshal.[9]
- 1938 – The Mother (Matka)
- 1922 – The Absolute at Large (Továrna na absolutno) – novel which can be interpreted as a vision of consumer society.
- 1922 – Krakatit – novel, the plot of which includes a prediction of a nuclear-weapon-like explosive.
- 1933 - Hordubal - First part of the "Noetic Trilogy".
- 1934 - Meteor (Povětroň) - Second part of the "Noetic Trilogy".
- 1934 - An Ordinary Life (Obyčejný život) - Third part of the "Noetic Trilogy".

Environmental Issues: Energy
Energy Main Page
All Documents in Energy Tagged clean energy
- Our Forests Aren't Fuel
Overview - Forests are for wild animals, fresh air, clean water, and hiking with our kids. But now industry wants to burn our forests for biomass electricity, polluting the air we breathe and stealing from future generations.
- State Renewable Portfolio Standards Create Jobs and Promote Clean Energy
Renewable Portfolio Standards attract new industries, create jobs, and keep state businesses competitive, while encouraging development of renewable power like wind, solar, and biomass.
Issue Paper - Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) move states toward clean, renewable energy by requiring that a percentage of a state's electricity sold or generated must come from renewable sources within a certain time period. These statutes have enjoyed strong bipartisan support because of their proven ability to attract new industries, create jobs, and keep state businesses competitive, while encouraging development of renewable power like wind, solar, and biomass.
- It's Time to Build an Economy that is Stronger, Cleaner, Healthier, and Made to Last
Legislative Analysis - Clean energy and energy efficiency have provided a robust source for economic growth and innovation during difficult times and we should not reverse course. The impending budget sequester and expiring tax incentives will significantly reduce investment In technologies like wind and solar power, electric vehicles and weatherization. This will harm efforts to create new jobs, invent new technologies, and reduce energy costs while incentivizing utilities to pursue dirtier energy at the expense of health and the environment. Congress should close tax loopholes that are no longer needed, not cut programs that are already revitalizing the economy. Get document in pdf.
- A Greener Biofuels Tax Credit
The Path to Better Biofuels
Report - Next-generation biofuels have the potential to deliver better environmental performance -- reduced lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and farming practices that result in cleaner water and healthier soils -- with less impact on food and feed prices.
Documents Tagged clean energy in All Sections
- Delivering On Renewable Energy Around The World
How Do Key Countries Stack Up?
Fact Sheet - At the 20th anniversary of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit -- Earth Summit 2012 -- countries, companies, cities, and individuals need to commit to increasing the amount of wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, and wave power throughout the world, to 15 percent of total electricity by 2020 -- more than doubling what is predicted under current trends.
- Testimony of Transportation Director Roland Hwang on historic clean car standards
Testimony - Testimony of Transportation Director Roland Hwang, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), for the October 12, 2011 on the historic clean car standards before the Subcommittee on Regulatory Affairs, Stimulus Oversight and Government Spending.
Get document in pdf. - Saving Energy
Taking Building Efficiency to New Heights
Fact Sheet - Efficiency is everywhere, but it is an invisible resource and often underutilized. Energy efficiency is the fastest, cleanest, and cheapest way to meet energy needs -- India alone could save $42 billion each year by largely improving energy efficiency in buildings, which currently consume more than 30 percent of the country's electricity. With a projected skyrocketing increase in building-occupied area in India, from 8 billion square meters in 2005 to 41 billion by 2030, any building constructed without optimizing efficiency represents a lost opportunity to lock in energy and cost savings for decades.

Bird Sighting Record Broken In Canada
By editor
Originally published on Wed January 2, 2013 8:16 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Developer Richard Marin says he's building the world's largest Ferris Wheel. It's planned for the shore of New York City's Staten Island. It's part of a larger development which is going ahead even though critics noted is partly in a flood zone. Flooding from Hurricane Sandy prompted Mr. Marin to make only minor adjustments. He says the project is a boon for Staten Island, and in fairness, the top of the Ferris Wheel will be above any storm surge. It's MORNING EDITION.

Amazing product for menstrual pain relief.
I initially bought this product for weight control; however, I also noticed several reviews stated that the product helped with menstrual pain. While I'm not sure about the weight control benefits, I can say that after decades of dealing with menstrual pain every month, this product is nothing short of a miracle in alleviating the pain! I only wish I had discovered it years ago.

a great product
For 3 months I take now this addition and I feel in mine meno trace better. Sweats are not any longer so strongly and also my psyche go it better. Also my man profited from it, its hormone status seems again in the equilibrium to be, since he takes this addition. it is more balanced, loadable and no longer so heated. Mad product, although rather expensive, it is worth it to try itself.

Federal and state employment discrimination laws are expansive, however, every activity and every person is not protected from discrimination.
Employers can lawfully discriminate based on work performance and other legitimate business decisions. Employers cannot discriminate based on race, religion, national origin, sex, age, or disability. Employers also cannot retaliate against an individual who participates in an investigation on the company or against an individual who refuses to participate in discriminatory activities.
There are many unfair activities that occur in the workplace every day, but the question is whether such activity is legally protected. The law does not want courts to act like the CEO of businesses, so it leaves room for the employers to make its own business decisions.
If, for example, an employee tells his supervisor's boss that the supervisor is not performing his or her job properly, and the employee is subsequently fired, the supervisor is not liable for unlawful employment discrimination. The situation may have been different if the employee reported the supervisor for doing something illegal like discriminating against a protected group.
It is also important to note that all employers are not covered under the federal and state discrimination laws. Under federal law, only employers with fifteen or more employees must comply with the discrimination laws. In California, employers with five or more employees are covered under employment discrimination laws. It may be unfair that the law itself discriminates based on company size, but it is not unlawful for a small company to participate in certain discriminatory methods.
Discrimination laws do not cover every situation, but many situations are protected by employment laws. Employers typically try to conceal their discriminatory motives for taking an adverse action against employees, so it is important to seek a qualified labor and employee attorney who can research your case and help you prove that the employer's stated reason is a pretext for a discriminatory motive.

I have only got 15.99gb on my 32gb S3.it is obviously just a numbers game. If they were selling enough of them to make it possible to keep producing them then it would not be the end of life. Sigh, I must be an application hog.
hopefully Samsung still offers 32 or 64 gigabyte memory when they do their Galaxy S 4 and the note 3, otherwise I may have to move on to another phone. 16 gigabytes is obviously not acceptable for me when you can't put your applications on your SD card.

"Obviously, I don't want to speculate, but either something went wrong from a natural/unnatural manner that was not foreseeable by us or human beings or somebody made a mistake or something," Blankenship said. "We don't know.
"It's not due to us not being focused on safety, not having a strong safety culture, not putting safety first. Some of the implications have been that we don't focus on safety or we put dollars in front of safety and nothing could be further from the truth."
Still, state and federal regulators confirmed Thursday they planned to investigate reports from several Upper Big Branch widows that miners at the operation were sent home on April 2, the Friday before the explosion, because of "bad air" in the mine.
"We were not made aware of any evacuation on April 2 and will investigate this report," said Jama Jarrett, spokeswoman for the state Office of Miners' Health, Safety and Training.
Amy Louviere, spokeswoman for the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration, said MSHA was also not notified of any ventilation issues at the mine that day or any evacuation. MSHA did not have an inspector at the mine that day, she said.
"The team will follow up on every one of these complaints," Louviere said.
Louviere also said Thursday that air quality tests of the Upper Big Branch Mine turned up the presence of ethylene and acetylene, both gases that could indicate a fire is burning somewhere underground.
"So, until they figure out exactly what the source of these gases is, the teams will not be allowed to go underground," Louviere said.
Jarrett said it could keep investigators out of the mine for another month or so.

All seems to be well with Air India operationally, but the national carrier's plan to rent out space in its iconic building at Nariman Point, Mumbai, is likely to hit a pocket of turbulence as the area is losing sheen as a hub of commercial realty.
The difficulties in renting out 16 of the building's 22 floors have started with the airline receiving only two bids till November 3 — the last date for receiving the request for proposal from interested parties. The lukewarm response forced Air India to extend the date till November 29, with a hope that more bids may trickle through.
It remains to be seen whether the airline will be able to find tenants for its property. The fact that Air India Building was not lapped up points to the emergent scene where Nariman Point, which houses several businesses, is fast losing out on the prime commercial space rankings in the financial capital.
EMERGING poles
Nariman Point always had an aspirational quotient, which drew businesses to set base in one of the many towers that dot the landscape with the Arabian Sea for company. Even the sea view and the proximity to the Queen's Necklace are not enough to charm the prospective tenant, for other realities have taken over.
The first among them is the price factor and the emergence of other business districts that offer many an advantage, such as Bandra Kurla Complex or BKC, Lower Parel and Prabhadevi.
"With a per square foot rent of R275 to R325, Nariman Point is expensive and offices are being shifted to areas with lesser charges. Companies with deep pockets are shifting to BKC, others are shifting to Prabhadevi and the cheapest office space are available in Lower Parel," says Ramesh Nair, managing director (western region) of international property consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle.
The monthly per square feet rates at BKC is Rs 250 and above followed by Prabhadevi at Rs 200 plus. Lower Parel is the cheapest among them at a per square feet rate of Rs 150 plus.
Analysts add that it is not just the price factor. The various buildings at Nariman Point

While we were caring for our "granddog" before Christmas, I started thinking about the Bumble Ball that we had given to the grandchildren years ago. When looking for that, I found this ball. She loved it! I wrapped it for Christmas and sent it home with her. She plays with it by the hour!! I would recommend it to anyone!
We currently have five rescue pit bulls and they have all played with this toy and it is everyone's favorite!!!! The are strong and durable. We have to replace it every couple of years but so worth it!! Your dogs will love it!!!
My dog loves this ball. Out of all the toys he has, he plays with this one all of the time. It holds his attention. It is also very entertaining watching him chase after it!
Today I am having to put my 17 year old Border Collie to sleep. The Wiggly Giggly was her most favorite toy EVER. She would play with it for hours either with me or by herself. I am so grateful I have a brief recording of her with it from a couple of years ago. The colors have changed in the design since, but for an active, playful dog you simply CAN'T GO WRONG with a Wiggly Giggly.
The last Wiggly-Giggly Ball lasted 17 years with two dogs a Boxer & a Cairn Terrior before it finally gave out. They played with this ball almost every day for those 17 years. To watch them play with it provided entertainment for the whole Family. This ball was nearly indestructible !
my dog loves this toy. i've had three of them for her 7 years and she never tires of it. Absolutely love this toy and am glad to find a replacement. The squeek is still going but has holes in the ball but it still entertains her.

Dave Pasch's Call Of Late Game-Tying Three In Seton Hall/Rutgers Game
I gotta say, I was pretty impressed by Pasch's call here. It can't be easy getting pumped up for the 12 vs. 13 matchup on the Tuesday of Conference Tournament week. Although, this was two rivals battling for New Jersey supremacy so that added some slight intrigue to this Tuesday afternoon game. For those who filled out Big East Tournament brackets, the Scarlett Knights held off the Pirates to advance to the next round.
While Pasch's call was well done, easily the highlight of this clip has to be the ecstatic Seton Hall player repeatedly doing the title belt celebration at the end of the bench. Just hilarious.
So, we finally made it. Conference Tournament and next week the big one. Word to the wise, stack your fridge with as much Surge as possible and sit back and enjoy because it's only going to get better.

Bryan Berger Chemical Engineering Email / Website Bryan Berger, assistant professor of chemical engineering, focuses on problems at the interface of biophysics and engineering, particularly in understanding the interrelationship between protein structure, molecular recognition and biological function. One area of research is membrane biophysics and membrane protein structure. He is interested in developing new experimental techniques to examine how membrane proteins interact with other proteins and lipids, and how these interactions regulate signal transduction across cell membranes.Collaborative projects include plexin-semaphorin signaling with Prof. Iovine (Biological Sciences) and calcitonin signaling during vascular calcification with Dr. James Wu (Lehigh Valley Hospital) and Prof. James Thompson (Mayo Clinic). Another area of research is in design and characterization of protein-based biomaterials for drug delivery. In collaboration with Prof. Snyder (ChE) and Prof. Ellen Pure (Wistar Institute), his team designs peptide-based probes for imaging and delivering therapeutics to solid tumors. A third area is in understanding host-pathogen interactions, particularly mechanisms of multi-drug resistance in chronic lung infection. In collaboration with Dr. Emily Wong (Lehigh Valley Hospital), we are investigating mechanisms by which pathogens invade the host epithelium, and designing novel therapeutic approaches to treat multi-drug resistant lung infections.

Xuanhong Cheng Materials Science & Engineering Email / Website CD4+ T lymphocytes are the target for the HIV virus, and their absence is a key indicator of HIV infection. Scientists recently developed an inexpensive device that allows for point-of-care measurement of CD4 cell levels, currently being tested in field trials in Africa. Xuanhong Cheng, assistant professor of materials science and engineering, contributed to this research at Harvard Medical School, where she helped design, modify and test the microchip that functions as a cartridge for a handheld CD4 counter. At Lehigh, Cheng is pursuing microdevices for environmental monitoring and pathogen detection, and the development of tools for biological studies in well-controlled micro-environments. "I'm interested in learning how cells respond to environmental stimulation. To do this, we keep cells in small microdevices where we can control the environmental conditions very precisely," Cheng says. Cheng's research team is also pursuing a device that can be used for screening vaccine candidates against potentially harmful reactions. |
James T. Hsu Chemical Engineering James Hsu, professor of chemical engineering, is interested in bioseparations using selective precipitation and affinity adsorption. Understanding the chemistry and kinetics of precipitation is critical for the success of the large-scale process. Affinity adsorption employs the extraordinary selectivity of the antibody-antigen interaction for the recovery of a specific protein or other bioactive molecule. He investigates the selection of the antibody to be immobilized and its interaction with its support and target molecules. In other research, he seeks the development of scalable manufacturing processes that reproducibly meet the quality criteria of purity, potency, efficacy, and safety for recombinant drug substances. |

Biologically functional materials provide the ability to manipulate the direct extracellular environment surrounding cells; influencing their fate and differentiation path. In addition, engineering materials that can be directed using native biological signaling pathways provides a means to direct drug delivery into the central and peripheral nervous system. The ability to engineer the interface between the cells and growth environment allows for a repeatable, stable means of directing cells down a specific development path determined by endogenous signaling pathways. The ability to develop a homogenous, directed cell population has implications in stem cell research, regenerative medicine, cell-based devices and biosensing technology. She is interested in development of novel materials, modification of existing platforms, and translation of traditional materials science characterization tools into the biological and organic environments. In addition to materials design and fundamental characterization, Dr. Jedlicka is interested in biomolecule:material interactions, specifically related to biophysics and modeling. |
Linda J. Lowe-Krentz Biological Sciences Email / Website Linda Lowe-Krentz is a cellular biochemist whose research focuses on signaling systems within cells. Her laboratory examines cross-talk between various signal systems initiated by chemical and mechanical signals. New bioimaging techniques being explored in the Lowe-Krentz lab at Lehigh University will allow many advances in signal transduction research. To improve analysis of relevant signal protein co-localization, a novel dual-link assay technique is being employed that involves complementary oligonucleotides conjugated to secondary antibodies, allowing visualization of only very closely associated proteins. The Lowe-Krentz lab also explores GFP (and other FP) tagged proteins and immunoflurorescent images to be fed directly into models to help predict stress-induced signaling. Also, SNAP-tagged gene constructs are being employed to follow new protein synthesis induced by signaling systems, with protein expression being monitored in bioimaging. Lowe-Krentz also employs optical tweezers to probe localized intracellular mechanics with locations being determined in part by expressed fluorescent protein constructs. |

Arkady Voloshin Mechanical Eng & Mechanics Email / Website Arkady Voloshin, professor of mechanical engineering and mechanics, has spent more than two decades studying the effects of dynamic loading on the musculoskeletal system. Working with researchers at Università degli Studi della Basilicata in Potenza, Italy, he is subjecting a segment of a pig's spine to compression, extension and lateral bending, in an effort to learn how to measure disc displacements under various loads. "This study holds promise for investigating the behavior of tissue," says Voloshin, "which could lead to a better understanding of spine and disc injuries in humans and, ultimately, to improved surgical treatment of degenerative disorders of the spine."Working with researchers in Lehigh's Sherman Fairchild Center for Solid State Studies, Bioengineering Program and electrical and computer engineering department, Voloshin is studying osteoporosis. The group wants to know why bones lose their ability to respond to dynamic mechanical stimulus. The lack of response slows osteogenesis, the process of laying down new bone material. Voloshin, seeking to identify the mechanism responsible for osteoporosis, has used a polymer-based MEMS device to observe living cells and measure their mechanical properties. Working with Israel's Loewenstein Rehabilitation Hospital, Voloshin studies runners to measure fatigue's effect on the ability of the musculoskeletal system to dissipate heel-strike shock waves on the tibial tuberosity and sacrum. |

Matthias Falk Biological Sciences Email / Website Mattias Falk, associate professor of biological sciences, explores direct cell-to-cell communication via gap junction membrane channels, and biocompatibility and bioactivity of glass bone-replacement scaffolds. Trained as a cell biologist, Falk is fascinated with the myriad complex functions a cell has to accomplish. Of particular interest are processes related to protein biosynthesis, intracellular trafficking, the assembly of multi-protein complexes, and how cells in a multi-cellular organism communicate with each other. Gap junction (GJ) membrane channels provide cells with the capability of direct cell-to-cell communication via the exchange of hydrophilic, small signaling molecules. Falk's group uses molecular biology, biochemistry, and in particular live-cell imaging approaches to investigate how cells regulate and modulate gap junction mediated direct cell-cell communication (GJIC), as well as physical cell-cell coupling. These phenomena are crucial to all aspects of multi-cellular life including development, differentiation, cellular homeostasis, wound repair, cancer metastasis, and many more. His research in this area has been funded by NIH for 14 years. For the past few years, Falk has also worked in collaboration with Prof. Jain, Director, International Materials Institute for New Functionality of Glass (IMI-NFG) to investigate how cells react to glass scaffolds intended for eventual use in bone-replacement therapy.

Anthony J. McHugh Chemical Engineering Email / Website Anthony McHugh, the Ruth H. and Sam Madrid Professor and department chair of chemical engineering, has made significant progress in achieving sufficient drug load (DL) in pharmaceutical delivery media while avoiding the so-called "burst effect" when a large drug volume is quickly released into the body. He encapsulates drugs in a honeycomb-like polymer matrix, thus helping attain controlled drug release while providing maximum DL to the delivery system. Their approach has been to use established principles of polymeric membranes to judiciously control drug-polymer interactions in delivery systems. The goal is to create improved drug delivery devices for direct implant or as a coating on stent-like devices. |
Jeetain Mittal Chemical Engineering Email / Website Assistant professor of chemical engineering Jeetain Mittal focuses on macromolecular crowding effects, where the cell constituents not actively participating in a given reaction under study are labeled as part of the crowd. He notes that the presence of a large number of macromolecules will change the behavior of the most important constituent in the cell – water – which modulates reactions in the cell. He uses a "divide and conquer approach" to understand macromolecular crowding effects. "We construct theoretical models with different degrees of complexity. For example, we will build models that separate the direct effect of crowding from the indirect effect through hydrophobic interactions in order to break the problem into manageable subsets." Advanced computational methods generate data on long-time behavior, Mittal says, which can be used to predict the collective behavior arising from various effects closely resembling the interior of a cell. This will help extend the findings from commonly performed dilute solution experiments to solution conditions resembling intracellular environment. |

Dimitrios Vavylonis Physics Email / Website The research group led by Dimitrios Vavylonis, assistant professor of physics, is developing theoretical models that describe how the actin cytoskeleton contributes to cell organization and function. Networks and bundles of actin filaments spontaneously form subcellular structures with mechanical integrity that provide cells with shape, generate mechanical forces and movement by polymerization, and act as tracks for imotor proteins. A common pattern in the function of the cytoskeleton is exploration of space by filament growth and shrinkage. These growth processes result in the establishment of transient linkages between distant parts of the cell; local and global feedback mechanisms regulate the growth and shrinkage of cytoskeleton components. In collaboration with biologists and computer scientists, we use the methods of physics to study, analyze, and model the physical properties of such adaptive materials. |

"After the first three years, word got out about birding in West Virginia," Pollard explains. Thanks largely to word of mouth among birders and a few strategically placed ads in BirdWatcher's Digest, West Virginia has joined New Jersey, Ohio, Florida, Arizona, and Texas as states known as birding destinations.
Pollard also notes with pride that any profits generated by the Festival are plowed back into environmental education programs in local schools. He wants to ensure that local children appreciate the New River's natural heritage.
The appeal of the New River Birding and Nature Festival is threefold: The New River Gorge is absolutely beautiful in May. Spectacular migratory birds, including warblers, vireos, and tanagers, are abundant. And the logistics of the event are informal and friendly. Pollard and Heater work hard to make the event as hospitable as it is rewarding for participants. For example, no one works harder than Heater to find birds for participants, especially beginners. I've seen him gather a small group for an impromptu field trip to see a single species.
A typical day begins with an early morning breakfast, followed by a full a day of birding. Some vans stay within the gorge, where scarlet tanagers, Baltimore orioles, rose-breasted grosbeaks, cerulean warblers, and worm-eating warblers are abundant. Lucky birders might even get to see a Swainson's Warbler, a species that reaches the northern edge of its breeding range in Southern West Virginia.
Other groups pile into vans for trips to Cranberry Glades, Babcock State Park, the Sugar Creek/Gauley River area, and the High Country, where trees leaf out later than at lower elevations, so birds such as Golden-winged, Canada, and Black-throated Green Warblers are easier to see.
Adding to the festival experience are field trip leaders such as BIrdWatcher's Digest editor Bill Thompson III, wildlife artist Julie Zickefoose, naturalist Jim McCormac, "Cerulean Blues" author Katie Fallon, bird bander Bill Hilton Jr., and photographer Connie Toops. And in the evening after dinner, these same people present entertaining indoor programs.
