Historical Background
For nine decades, Honolulu Community College has met the education and workforce needs of its community by providing a broad range of career and technical programs and a comprehensive liberal arts program designed to prepare students for transfer to baccalaureate institutions. Honolulu Community College has a rich history tied closely to the community it serves and a history shaped by social and cultural changes of Hawai'i.
Honolulu Community College began on February 2, 1920 when the Territorial Trade School opened its doors to 42 students in the buildings of the Old Chinese Hospital in P?lama. Subjects included auto mechanics, machine shop, and carpentry. By 1925, to take advantage of federal legislation the Territorial Trade School became the Smith-Hughes department of McKinley High School and two years later was renamed Honolulu Vocational School.
Just before the start of the Great Depression in 1929, the Territorial Legislature appropriated $40,000 for improvements in the physical plant of the campus. The campus also looked forward to the 1931 opening of Dillingham Boulevard.
During World War II, students of Honolulu Vocational School helped in making war-related items like machine gun mounts and land mines. In 1946, to meet post-war demands for services and housing, the Cosmetology, Refrigeration, Drafting and Radio programs were added. In 1948 the school developed a Baking program. The Plumbing program was started in 1950, the Masonry program a year later and the Auto Body and Repair program the following year. The growth prompted students and faculty two years later to request a name change from Honolulu Vocational School to Honolulu Technical School.
The post-war growth in the student body resulted in new campus facilities. In 1958, the Foods building opened, housing the school's bake shop and cafeteria. The Automotive Building was completed in 1962 along with Electronics Building. The following year, Honolulu Technical School built a two-story science building. On July 1, 1965, Honolulu Technical School was transferred by statute from the Department of Education to the University of Hawai'i and became part of the Community College System. The Board of Regents approved the name change from Honolulu Technical School to Honolulu Community College a year later. The following year, the Associate of Arts degree was authorized.
During the 1970s, Honolulu Community College experienced a construction boom. The Fashion and Cosmetology building was constructed in 1972. The six-story Liberal Arts and Library and Administrative and Student Services buildings were built two years later. In 1977 the Trade Industry Complex was finished. The six-story classroom/Campus Center was erected two year after that.
In 1975 the apprentices of the Pearl Harbor Shipyard Apprentice School started classroom instruction at Honolulu Community College as part of a four-year program in ship repair and maintenance. During the last two decades of the 20th Century Honolulu Community College established a number of off-campus sites including Automotive Technology (1986) and Diesel Mechanics Facility (1988) on the makai end of Kokea Street, the Airport Training Center (1995) at Honolulu International Airport, the Marine Education & Training Center (1995) on Sand Island, and the Pacific Aerospace Training Center (1998) at Kalaeloa.
In March 2001 the Administrative headquarters of the Pacific Center for Advanced Technology Training, a consortium of the University of Hawai'i Community Colleges, opened at Honolulu Community College. Continuing to look for ways to meet demand for new workers in the construction industry, Honolulu Community College in 2005 established the Construction Academy in partnership with eight Hawai'ihigh schools (now 35 statewide). Two years later, the Music & Entertainment Learning Experience (MELE) program was started.
Honolulu Community College continues to fulfill its mission to meet the educational needs of its community. From 42 students in 1920, the college's enrollment has grown to 4,585 credit students and another 2,991 apprentice students in Fall 2009.

During free time, enjoy your resort's many facilities or opt for activities such as river rafting or hiking.
Next, fly to Siem Reap, Cambodia to explore incredible Angkor, the ruins of the ancient Khmer empire. With your private guide, tour the most interesting parts of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, including Angkor Wat, an enormous temple city built as a model of the Hindu universe in stone; Angkor Thom, an ancient capital filled with iconic sites such as the Bayon, Terrace of the Elephants and Terrace of the Leper King; Ta Prohm, a temple being devoured by the jungle; and serene Preah Khan, a former monastery and school. Also visit Banteay Srei, a petite temple with elaborate carvings in pink sandstone, and other lesser-known temples. If desired, enjoy special activities customized to your family's interests, such as riding bikes to temples and local villages, a private Khmer cooking class, visiting children's centers, touring local villages, photography excursions, visiting traditional Cambodian art centers, specialized shopping, private yoga, a helicopter ride to remote jungle temples, or attending traditional Khmer dance performances. Another option is an excursion to Tonle Sap, Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake and an ecological wonder. Enjoy a boat cruise among the lake's floating villages, markets and gardens. Also cruise through the flooded forest to learn about the Tonle Sap ecosystem and spot birds and other wildlife.

During touring with your expert private guide, take in Hong Kong's spectacular skyline, beautiful harbors and beaches, superb restaurants, bustling markets and much more. See incredible skyscrapers in Central, ride the Peak Tram to the top of Hong Kong Island, tour interesting residential neighborhoods in the hills, dine on dim sum at teahouses, explore local markets to learn about traditional Chinese medicine and unusual food products, and ride in a traditional sampan boat across Aberdeen Harbor.

Emma Watson in ELLE April 2014: I Don't Want All My Life Experience To Happen On A Set
With her new biblical film "Noah" nearing its highly anticipated premiere, Emma Watson pitched in on promotional efforts by covering the April 2014 issue of ELLE magazine.
The former "Harry Potter" beauty looked picture perfect in designer garbs from Céline and Michael Kors for the Carter Smith-shot spread while opening up about her upcoming film and shared details about her personal life.
Check out GossipCenter's recap of Miss Watson's interview below. For more, be sure to pay a visit to ELLE!
On "Noah":
"It's Shakesperean, what happens to this family when they're put in this confined space for 40 days and 40 nights. It's the end of the world – how these different human beings are dealing with the impact of that. Are humans good? Are we bad? All of these themes are epic."
On her personal life:
"I remember reading this thing that Elizabeth Taylor wrote. She had her first kiss in character. On a movie set. It really struck me. I don't know how or why, but I had this sense that if I wasn't really careful, that could be me. That my first kiss could be in somebody else's clothes. And my experiences could all belong to someone else."
On her feelings about younger actresses:
"There are all these actresses who have emerged in the last year or two, and they get to emerge as this complete human being. And I'm so jealous!"

NELSPRUIT, South Africa (AP) -- Two months ago, Emmanuel Adebayor was willing to skip the African Cup of Nations.
Now he wants to win it.
The Tottenham striker has played a key role in helping Togo achieve its first quarterfinal at a major tournament.
Adebayor scored the opener in Togo's 2-0 victory over Algeria at the weekend, then set up the goal that ultimately earned a 1-1 draw with Tunisia on Wednesday and secured its place in the knockout rounds.
But only two months ago he threatened to skip the tournament in a dispute with the Togo Football Federation. Happily for both sides, they had time to settle their differences over security arrangements and bonuses.
"I'm very proud of my country, of what we have been through," Adebayor said. "I think you guys know it better than I do that two months ago when we qualified against Gabon we went through a lot of difficult moments, of me coming to the African Cup of Nations or not coming.
"Today I'm here and I'm very happy - I'm part of the history."
Togo will face Burkina Faso in Sunday's quarterfinal at Mbombela Stadium, having finished second in Group D behind tournament favorite Ivory Coast.
While qualification from the tough group represented an achievement in itself for the team from the tiny west African nation, Adebayor has raised his sights considerably.
"We can even go ahead of what we think we can do, and I hope now we have a chance to win the cup. We just have to go for it now," he said.
As Togo did a lap of honor in the aftermath of a controversy-filled match, in which Tunisia was awarded two penalties and South African referee Daniel Bennett turned down several others for both teams, thoughts turned back to the tragedy Togo endured in Angola before the African Cup three years ago.
Two members of its traveling party were killed in a gun attack on the team bus, while goalkeeper Kodjovi Obilale was badly hurt and hasn't played since.
"It's a historic thing. We feel very sorry for those people," Adebayor said. "We had a nice team together, and some of those people have gone. It's a tough one."
The pitch in Nelspruit has made attractive football a rare sight, as players struggle with the slow, bumpy surface.
Local organizers dumped sand on the pitch in the week before the tournament to counter heavy rainfall, and Adebayor joined the growing number of critics.
"Those people that watch the game in Europe, they will be sending SMSes to me tonight asking, 'Are you playing in the bush or what?' It's a disgrace to our continent, we can do better," he said.
"But at the end of the day we are here and we have to find a way to play."

The top five qualifiers were bookened by a pair of non-Chasers with Kyle Busch taking the pole ahead of Chase contenders Martin Truex Jr., Denny Hamlin and Kasey Kahne. Aric Almirola rounded out the top five from outside of the top twelve in points.
The big story of qualifying was the relatively poor performance of the two point leaders. Jimmie Johnson was more than six tenths of a second off the pace and started way back in the twenty-fourth starting spot. Brad Keselowski was a little better as his lap was good enough for the fourteenth starting spot. Both of the point leaders will have some work to do in order to get to the front and avoid potential trouble.
Drop Of The Green
Kyle Busch got a good jump on the start and was clear of Truex before they even got to turn one.
Truex was stuck on the outside and fell back into the pack. Then it became apparent that his problems were more serious and he continued to fall out of contention. Martin Truex Jr. remained off the pace until he finally hit pit road on lap twelve to diagnose his problem.
Kyle Busch continued to lead through the remainder of the early going with his teammate Denny Hamlin settled into second place behind him.
Jimmie Johnson and Brad Keselowski came into Phoenix as the two Chase leaders. With only two races remaining in the season clearly the 2012 Chase for the Cup was going to be the biggest story of the weekend.
This Chase took a huge turn within a couple of laps in Phoenix. Brad Keselowski was digging to try to chip away at Johnson's point lead and he moved past Kyle Busch for the lead with 79 laps to go. Just two laps later point leader Jimmie Johnson was running seventh when he blew the bead on his the right front tire and hit the wall pretty hard. He had to take his car to the garage and fell many laps down.
Jimmie went from leading the points to twenty points behind in an instant and the longer he sat behind the wall the further he slipped behind. This is huge news for the Championship battle during the next-to-last race of the year.
When the checkered flag fell Brad Keselowski found himself with a twenty point lead over Jimmie Johnson with only Homestead remaining.
Chasing The Checkers
Eight laps remained with Kyle Busch out front and Kevin Harvick was along side in second. Busch again got a good restart before Harvick battled back on the outside not willing to give up. Harvick went around Kyle Busch for the lead with seven laps to go but this race wasn't over yet.
Jeff Gordon and Clint Bowyer got together while battling for position which cut one of Jeff Gordon's tires and caused Gordon to hit the wall. Gordon was limping around a lap down when Clint Bowyer came back past. Gordon totally turned left into Bowyer and wrecked both cars. In addition Joey Logano and Aric Almirola were collected in the crash.
Jeff Gordon was jumped in the garage area by Bowyer's team and then Clint Bowyer himself ran from his car to express his displeasure with Gordon. There was mayhem in the garage area as the two teams fought it out over this on track payback.
Jeff Gordon really crossed the line. His temper clearly got the best of him and this was dangerous and unnecessary.
The red flag flew for them to clean up the track before the green-white-checkers finish.
Harvick chose the outside lane for the restart and cleared Busch going into turn one. He maintained the lead which chaos once again reigned behind him.
Danica Patrick spun right before the white flag flew and was limping back around after leaving a ton of fluid on the track in turn four. NASCAR failed to throw the yellow and all of the leaders crashed as they raced through the fluid towards the checkered flag.
Harvick recovered from his powerslide and won the race while a huge wreck unfolded behind him. There was chaos on the front stretch as a number of cars crashed.
NASCAR really screwed this up. They clearly should have thrown the caution. This race track was unsafe.
Top Ten
- Kevin Harvick
- Denny Hamlin
- Kyle Busch
- Kasey Kahne
- Ryan Newman
- Brad Keselowski
- Greg Biffle
- Kurt Busch
- Paul Menard
- Mark Martin
The Points
Wow, Jimmie Johnson seemed to be in the driver's seat on his way to his sixth NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship. Now Brad Keselowski has a commanding lead for the title with only one race to go. Brad Keselowski's 20 point lead means he basically needs to finish in the top twenty next week in order to claim the crown.
The 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Standings:
- Brad Keselowski
- Jimmie Johnson -20
- Kasey Kahne -50
- Clint Bowyer -52
- Denny Hamlin -62

One East Hampton man was killed and his brother is fighting for his life after a crash on Route 66 in Portland on Sunday night.
Robert Sorvillo and his brother, Donald, were driving along at about 9:30 p.m. in the section of Route 66 known as the Ledges when they lost control. The vehicle struck an embankment, utility pole and a tree before coming to rest, police said.
Both brothers were ejected from the vehicle, police said. Donald Sorvillo died at the scene, police said. Robert Sorvillo was airlifted by Life Star medical helicopter to St. Francis Hospital, where his family said he is in critical, but stable condition.
Robert Sorvillo got out of surgery Monday night and family members said he is expected to survive.
"Every time you hear the sirens go that way, your heart drops," said Pat Rux, who heard the crash.
On Sept. 20, one person died after a crash in the same area of Route 66. Police said GMC truck veered off the road and hit a rock ledge.
Rux said making Route 66 safer is an easy fix. She said she would like to see the town add more lighting to the road.
"Some more speeding signs, more police presences and I think that will take care of it," Rux said.
Police told Eyewitness News they do patrol the Ledges frequently and there are no plans to increase patrols.

West Gulf Coast Report July 2014
by Troy Gilbert
The love of boating is more often than not a trait passed down from generation to generation. Strike up a conversation at any yacht club or at your favorite waterfront joint and it's likely that person will have a fondly remembered childhood tale of fishing or sailing with a parent or grandparent. With over 123 million people residing in coastal counties or parishes in the U.S. alone, there are surprisingly only 12 million recreational boats in the country according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association. Obviously there is plenty of room for growth on many waterways, and one way to ramp up the next generation of boat owners is early exposure to boating and its way of life that many may not have access to via family members. A lifetime love for the water can come about simply by instilling that sense of adventure, self-reliance and the freedom found in boating to young kids. A new $100-million facility in Galveston, Texas, seeks to do just that.
Originally conceived as a modest high-adventure boating summer camp for the Sea Scouts—an offshoot of the Boy Scouts—the scope of the project on Offatts Bayou in Galveston rapidly broadened and now even includes a Community Youth Sailing Center and a maritime education facility for merchant mariner students and others. Financed almost entirely by a donation from a private Texan donor who is very active in the Sea Scouting programs, the 60,000-square-foot facility—including lodging, offices, classrooms, a cafeteria, and an endowment for accredited instructors—recently finished construction on their adjacent floating docks and piers. The complex will be capable of hosting 200-300 scouts on a weekly basis by the middle of this summer.

Twin Wells
return to Communities main page
Map of area between the forks, 1900
The Twin Wells community, in what is today's southeastern Irving, grew up during the late 1800s. The area was named for two early-day water wells that stood on opposite sides of the Eagle Ford Trail. Settlers traveling west out of Dallas on the Eagle Ford Trial, which ran along the bank of the Trinity River, crossed the West Fork of the river and continued along the trail into what is now the Irving area. The two wells provided welcome relief to weary travelers.
Residents farmed, kept dairy herds, and raised poultry. Attempts to get a post office for the area failed for lack of population. Later businesses included a lumber yard, a general store, and an automobile garage. The Twin Wells area population peaked at about 150 in 1940. Children in the Twin Wells area attended the Irving schools. Right-of-way acquisition for a highway during the mid-1940s split the community in two. In 1951, the city of Irving annexed the area. Today the community name lingers on in the name of a nearby park and golf course.

On Tuesday's Chat Room, Sun-Times Splash Editor Susanna Negovan, lifestyle consultant Rochelle Trotter, GDC anchor Anna Davlantes discussed the latest details surrounding the amazing story out of Cleveland, Ohio regarding the three women held hostage for a decade. They were found and finally freed Monday night.
Mommy blogger Suzanne Barston joined the Chat Room to discuss her book, "Bottled Up: How the Way We Feed Babies Has Come to Define Motherhood."
The ladies also discussed kids' allergies, Honey Boo Boo's parents getting married and outrageous Met Ball designs at the Costume Institute's punk themed fashion extravaganza.

Gary Burghoff
It may have been the ever-alert Patton Oswalt who got the ball rolling when he tweeted his admiration for Gary Burghoff's hilariously bilious Twitter feed (@Gary_Burghoff), in which the actor who played Radar in M*A*S*H (movie and TV show both) has been furnishing all kinds of insider dish about the show as well as Battle of the Network Stars. Now everybody on Twitter is falling over themselves to retweet his scandalous bon mots.
Yes, @Gary_Burghoff is drunk-tweeting his memories of the 1976 #BattleoftheNetworkStars. This needs to be David O Russell's next movie.— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) January 18, 2014
Apparently Burghoff has a particular distaste for Alan Alda (Hawkeye on M*A*S*H) and Robert Conrad (Black Sheep Squadron star, but more pertinently, captain of the NBC squad on Battle of the Network Stars in 1976), as seen here:
Alan Alda wanted his own bathroom. The producers wouldn't give him one so he used to take dumps in paper bags and leave them around the set— Gary Burghoff (@Gary_Burghoff) December 17, 2013
Alan could dish out pranks but not take it Once someone spiked his drink & wanted to fight the culprit. As if he knows how to throw a punch— Gary Burghoff (@Gary_Burghoff) January 8, 2014
I was once nominated for an award & didnt go to the ceremony because Alan was presenting. It would have been about him. Its always about him— Gary Burghoff (@Gary_Burghoff) December 23, 2013
#BattleoftheNetworkStars Hall of Fame would have the basement dedicated to Robert Conrad's accomplishments. They'd call it the Whine Cellar— Gary Burghoff (@Gary_Burghoff) January 18, 2014
Note that @Gary_Burghoff has not been verified by Twitter, but the tales of (and petty resentment over) Alda and Conrad have the ring of authenticity to them. If you're a defamation attorney in Florida (where Burghoff currently lives, according to the Twitter feed bio), there might be a client here for you.
Below we have a clip of one of the greatest moments in sports history, in which ABC (blue; Hal Linden, Gabe Kaplan, Penny Marshall, Robert Hegyes, Lynda Carter, Richard Hatch) defeats CBS (red; Telly Savalas, MacKenzie Phillips, Adrienne Barbeau, Kevin Dobson, Pat Harrington) in the climactic tug-of-war competition in the 1976 Battle of the Network Stars, preceded by Robert Conrad whining about losing a race to Gabe Kaplan or something.

Florida Dems Hit Bill McCollum
by Jonathan Singer, Tue Feb 23, 2010 at 10:26:07 PM EST
If the 2010 cycle is about an anti-Washington sentiment -- and it looks like it is -- then the Florida Democrats may be on to something with their hit on Bill McCollum, the GOP candidate for Governor in November.
Don't be surprised to see more ads like this from the Democrats, hitting establishment Republicans for their insider ties. Missouri Senate candidate and former House GOP leader Roy Blunt, in particular, comes to mind as the type of candidate vulnerable to such a line of attack, as does George W. Bush budget staffer Rob Portman, the GOP's presumptive Senate candidate in Ohio. Washington isn't a popular place these days, and having been deeply involved in the Beltway culture simply is not the type of line on a resume candidates will want voters to know about in the coming months.

"No Job For a Woman" opening clip
"Get that woman out of here!" screamed the North African bureau chief for The AP when wire service reporter Ruth Cowan arrived in Algiers to begin her war reporting career. Cowan and nearly 140 other American women reporters were accredited to cover WWII, but journalism, military and social conventions were against them. Narrated by Julianne Margulies, "No Job For a Woman": The Women Who Fought to Report WWII focuses on the story of three women war reporters -- wire service reporter Ruth Cowan, magazine writer Martha Gellhorn, and photographer Dickey Chapelle -- and how they fought to report WWII and how out of this struggle emerged a new way of telling the story of war.

Research Groups
Section of Genetics - Genetic Cancer Susceptibility Group
The objective of the Genetic Cancer Susceptibility Group (GCS) is the evaluation of inherited genetic factors involved in susceptibility to human cancers.
Many cancer types aggregate in families, with the same type of cancer being 2-4-fold more common in the patient's first-degree relatives than in the general population. A proportion of the familial risk can be explained by rare mutation in high-penetrance genes, exemplified by mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and risk of breast cancer. Some of the familial risk can also be explained by genetic variants that are common in the general population, but individually confer modest to small risk. The genome wide association study approach has been successful in identifying this later type variant, including many invovled in cancer susceptibility. Nevertheless, even in combination the genetic risk conferred by the variants identified so far can explain only a minor proportion of familial clustering, and most of the genetic risk remains to be discovered.
The GCS group aims to conduct genetic studies to further explore and describe genetic susceptibility to cancer, and how the variants involved in genetic susceptibility are related to events in the tumour tissue itself. We are involved in the studies of many types of cancer, including common cancers like breast cancer, but place emphasis on less common cancers such as head and neck (cancers of the nasopharynx, oral cavity and larynx), lymphomas and melanoma.

Last week, our trek into ICC resulted in our healers screaming "Take it off heroic!" as the tanks were tossed aside like ragdolls in a blender.
Heroic Lootship was the only encounter where we got 277 purples, normal Put gibbed our main tank merely seconds into the encounter, and apparently the Blood Princes were not the real Blood Princes and were just imitating… because they would NOT stand up.
Well, after many hotfixes and addon updates, we marched into ICC last night and successfully stomped out 10/12 heroic bosses, ending at heroic Sindragosa who is still quite mean. Even with my 76k health, I got insta-gibbed by a 35k melee hit and a 55k Frost Breath back-to-back.
Speaking of which…
Yesterday I stayed home from work, sick. Figuring rest is for the weak, I dove into the Prot changes headfirst… and came out not too worse for wear. If you're mainspec Ret, the Prot rotation/priority system isn't too difficult to grasp.
If you're like me and have a strong prot offspec, I highly recommend taking a look at Rhidach's 4.0.1 guide here. I really needed it, seeing as I was supposed to be tanking ICC-25 later that night!
Now that we're on the topic of 4.0.1 guides, I believe I've finished compiling updated info for my Ret 101 page! Check it out here or click the link at the top!

At the Paris premiere of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Salma Hayek lined her lids with soft smudgy black liner, which defined her eyes without looking too harsh. For best results, try a thin waxy pencil and start on the bottom, inside the waterline. Next, tug on the top lid before gliding the pencil across in two short strokes: One from the inside and one from the outer corner. Take an angled shadow brush to gently smudge. Finish with a wash of taupelike Salmainside the crease for a glamorous wintry look.

Structure-Function Analysis of Proteins
The main objective of our research is to define the relationship between the structure and function of biological macromolecules. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis combined with a variety of modern state-of-the-art techniques is used to investigate the structural basis of cellular functions. Research in our laboratory is focused in three main areas:
Parasitic diseases pose major public health threat worldwide. Research in our laboratory seeks to improve our understanding of the biochemical and biological processes regulating the life cycle of these parasites with the ultimate goal of identifying exploitable drug targets for developing chemotherapeutic strategy. Currently there are three projects under this program.
Folate metabolic pathway of Trypanosoma cruzi
Trypanosoma cruzi is a protozoan parasite which causes Chagas disease. The disease affects 16-18 million people and causes 50,000 deaths annually. Despite the enormous global burden of Chagas disease, no drug is effective in chronic stage and those used for treatment of acute disease result in toxic side effects. With more than 100 million people in 20 countries at risk, yet no hope for a vaccine in the foreseeable future, there is an urgent need for effective chemotherapy for millions of infected individuals. Drugs targeting folate metabolic enzymes have been remarkably successful in the treatment of infectious diseases including parasitic diseases such as malaria. Our research currently focuses on the application of a three dimensional structure-based approach for designing specific and potent inhibitors of T. cruzi dihydrofolate-thymidylate synthase enzyme. Crystal structures of the bifunctional enzyme in complex with substrates and inhibitor have been determined. We have identified a low nanomolar inhibitor of the enzyme as a potent inhibitor of the T. cruzi parasite. A structure based drug design and development program is in progress.
Protein trafficking machinery of Plasmodium falciparum
Plasmodium falciparum is the deadliest form of the parasites that causes human malaria, a disease which kills more than one million people each year. Soon after infecting the human host the malaria parasite enters the red blood cells where it multiplies and actively modifies the host cells. Most of the pathophysiological conditions of human malaria caused by P. falciparum are associated with this intraerythrocytic stage. Inside the erythrocyte the parasites are surrounded by three layers of membrane: the parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM), the parasites own plasma membrane and the red blood cells own membrane. Yet the parasite encoded proteins are able to transport from inside the parasite all the way to the outer surface of red blood cells. Proteins displayed on the surface of red blood cells are strategically important for the survival of the parasite and of great significance to the disease outcome. Understanding the mechanism of protein trafficking by P. falciparum is therefore of great interest. Our laboratory focuses on the vesicle mediated trafficking machinery of P. falciparum.
The goal of this program is to elucidate three dimensional structures of bacterial surface proteins and their receptor complexes. Structural information allows us to understand the interaction of these proteins with their receptors and their role in virulence and pathogenesis. This knowledge can be used for designing vaccines and therapeutic tools. One of the projects in this program aims at defining surface epitopes on the pneumococcal surface protein A of Streptococcus pneumonia which is a major virulence factor and a vaccine candidate and elucidating the molecular basis of its recognition and binding to lactoferrin. In the second project in this program we are studying the three dimensional structure of a major virulence factor, Psn, of Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of bubonic plague. This outer membrane protein is a dual receptor for the siderophore, yersiniabactin and for the bacteriocin, pesticin.
Poxvirus is one of the largest DNA viruses. Unique among DNA viruses poxvirus replicates in the host cytoplasm and depends on virally encoded proteins. The machinery used in the replication of virus is also unique. Centerpiece of this replication apparatus is a DNA polymerase which interacts with several novel viral proteins. Of particular interest are two proteins known as A20 and D4 which are essential for the formation of the processive polymerase complex. However, there are additional proteins that are also involved in binding to the complex. Crystal structure of D4 was determined in our laboratory. We have also identified small molecule inhibitors of D4:A20 interaction which block viral replication. Research in our laboratory is focused on understanding the structure function relation of the polymerase complex.
Dr. Debasish Chattopadhyay received his BS in Chemistry and MS in Biochemistry from Calcutta University, India. He obtained Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Jadavpur University, India in 1989. He conducted his postdoctoral research at the Upjohn Company in Michigan. This work was part of an NIH funded collaborative effort involving several academic institutions and pharmaceutical industries for the discovery of potent antiretroviral drugs. Dr. Chattopadhyay's work focuses on the structure-function analysis of target enzymes its application in drug development. Dr. Chattopadhyay joined the University of Alabama in 1994 and was recruited as an Assistant Professor in the School of Medicine in 1998. Dr. Chattopadhyay was promoted to the Associate Professor rank in 2007.

Liz faces media a day after rough start
Righty left clubhouse without speaking after Saturday's game
BOSTON -- Radhames Liz met the media with dignity and grace on Sunday, eloquently describing what went wrong for him in a disastrous start at Fenway Park on Saturday night. Liz had left the clubhouse Saturday without discussing his evening on the mound, a fact that drew a rebuke from manager Dave Trembley but allowed the starter to collect his emotions.
"This was maybe the worst game I ever had, even in the Minor Leagues," Liz said Sunday. "I think last night, I really came with good stuff. My slider and my changeup were good, but I think in the third inning, I may have tried to do too much.
"I got out of my mind when I got men on base. But everything was great, and I felt good with my fastball, my slider and my changeup. When I gave up a base hit with my slider, I started trying to pitch too perfect and trying to hit the corners. I think I should've stayed with what I was doing, but everything in the game made me go that way."
Liz allowed eight earned runs but recorded only seven outs, and he said he basically beat himself and let the game get away from him. Instead of pressing harder after allowing the first of three home runs, Liz said that he should've settled down and made the Red Sox beat him instead of trying to make each pitch as perfect as possible.
"Every time you go out there and you do something, you learn from it. Sometimes you don't do it right away, but next time you go out there, you say, 'I'm not going to do that anymore,'" he said. "I know I've got the stuff. I know I've got a great curveball. I know I've got a great changeup. People talk about my fastball, because I've got a good fastball. I know I can throw strikes, because I've done it before. It's just sometimes, I've got to be more smart and use my mind instead of my body."
Pitching coach Rick Kranitz has tried to underline those lessons all season, and he said he was pleased with the way Liz carried himself Sunday. There were no excuses, no sulking and no attempt to pass the blame onto anyone else.
"His head was up. He wasn't shying away from anything," said Kranitz. "I know it can be tough, but the good ones all do it. It's just like we talked about today: You've got to move on. And you learn from that. It's not so embarrassing for that club to do that to you, because they do it to a lot of guys. But you've got to learn from it. And you'd better learn from it."
Kranitz went on to say that taking your lumps is part of the natural progression for a young pitcher and part of how they learn to get better. And it's natural, he said, to get out of your comfort zone when faced with a little adversity.
"That's what young guys do," Kranitz said. "They try to do more than what they need to do to get hitters out. Especially a good team, when you've got one good batter after another, the more pressure you put on yourself to get the job done. You've got to be in control of the situation, and you can't let the situation control you. You have to slow the game down and understand what you have to do. And when you don't, things go fast and the next thing you know, you're just throwing instead of pitching."
Liz also said that he felt his mechanics slipping as the game wore on, and he felt himself falling toward first base out of his windup. But he was powerless to make the adjustment, and Boston just kept on hitting him hard.
Regardless of what happened on the mound, Trembley pulled Liz into his office Sunday and reminded him of his responsibilities to the media and to the paying public. Liz may not have to like it, but he has to do it just like all of his peers.
"I may not like having to come out here all the time and talk every day," said Trembley of his closed-door interaction with the rookie pitcher. "But it's an obligation, a responsibility that you have, and you have to take the bitter with the sweet. You've got to be able to handle it with some dignity, and I think that's how you get respect. It's how you deal with people and how you deal with bad times as well as good times, and if you're not able to do that, I think an adjustment is in order.
"It's one thing to say you're a big leaguer, it's another to be one, and that's probably more important to me than anything. It means something to put on a Baltimore Orioles jersey, and it means something how you act and how you represent the city, the people. So Liz should be better. If Liz didn't apologize to you, I'll be disappointed, because he should have."

We love the almost year-round sunshine here on the Hilton Head coast, but those super sunny days can present some challenges when it's time to hit the tennis courts. Serving into the sun can be tough. One way to keep the sun out of your eyes without hindering your game is with a pair of sunglasses made for tennis.
The Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center is the only dealer in South Carolina offering the Solar Bat Leverage sunglasses, designed specifically for tennis players. The lenses are designed to brighten the lines on the court and the ball. The top of the lenses is darker so players can look into the sun for overheads and serves.
The glasses have an adjustable, padded nose bridge to fit a person's face. The bridge nose pads are made from a temperature control material that grips more securely with increased body temperature, so the glasses aren't sliding down a player's nose on a sticky, humid South Carolina day.
The glasses were designed by optometrist Gary Nesty. He first focused on his own favorite hobby, sport fishing, and the lack of adequate eye protection. He then realized each sport has its own needs and he was determined to develop a pair of sunglasses that would meet those needs. He spent countless hours with players and teams to create sunglasses with a sport-specific lens and frame.
If you've tried the Solar Bat or other sport sunglasses, let us know what you think. Do you prefer to wear sunglasses when playing tennis?

Deer hunting is popular in the state of Wisconsin but for people with disabilities, there are often many challenges when it comes to that hunt.
We honor a man who volunteers his time to change that; Ron Bantz is February's Jefferson Award winner.
As the leaves drop from the trees and snows begin to fall, thousands of hunters head to the Wisconsin woods for the annual deer hunt. Ron Bantz is one of those avid sportsmen. He looks forward to hunting with his buddy Doug. "I look forward to it, we both have a good time it's something I've learned to love."
During the 2008 hunt, Doug bagged a doe, then moments later a 5-point buck. That might not seem out of the ordinary. But what makes it extraordinary is Doug is blind. "Doug loads the gun. I don't touch it," said Ron.
Ron and Doug have hunted together for 9 years. They have a system down for when Ron becomes Doug's eyes. "When it comes time to shoot, I tell him where to aim and when it's safe to shoot."
Over the years Ron and Doug have recorded many successful hunts. "Over the years we have got 8 deer and that its very good," Ron recalled.
For his volunteer efforts, Ron received a Jefferson award. He says the recognition is humbling and he encourages others to get in the hunt for ways they can volunteer and help others. "It's a neat thing."
A number of organizations set up hunts for the disabled, including the Lions. The department of natural resources overseas hunt season.
The Jefferson Award is an honor set up in 1972 by former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to honor volunteers.

ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB News Channel 5) - On October 1st the Healthcare Marketplace goes online but some are taking advantage of those looking for affordable care.
"Some people around the country are illegally taking advantage of the opportunity or the marketplace and so they are calling or soliciting consumers or people asking for information asking for social security numbers asking for payment." Said Wesley Watkins of UDB Insurance.
Through phone calls, email and even in person, would-be identity thieves are posing as Government Officials to gather personal information.
"Whenever a new process to something as sensitive to us as health insurance is introduced and people are confused about it makes it easy for scammers to get things from you that you ordinarily would not give up." Said Darrell Langlois of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana.
The health insurance marketplace, part of the Affordable Care Act goes into effect on October 1st but scammers are already taking advantage of the new law to get you personal information or even your money.
Better Business Bureau Manager Ellis Isom was himself almost a victim of a similar scammer who used changes in the healthcare system as a means to get personal information.
"I've had one a couple nights ago we get calls, two three times a day sometimes on this medical alert." Said Isom.
Those who deal with identity theft say it's more important than ever to take steps to avoid becoming a victim. @
"Make sure you're talking to a qualified agent or enroller certified in this law, don't give that to anyone over the phone, or someone you don't know." Said Watkins. @
Fighting back can be a relatively simple process.
"I just hang up" Said Isom.
