Underworld's 'Barking' is coming in less than five days! Child Play's Amp Live just layed out a sick bassy remix of the new single "Always Loved A Film".
Check out the great review from RCRDLBL.com:
"Is that name a taunt? I wonder how many blog write-ups this track and its numerous remix versions have had that haven't made reference to that decade-defining Danny Boyle film (no, not The Beach). This latest refix, courtesy of AmpLive, has a pretty cinematic scope itself; its narrative arc beginning with anticipatory synths and the sort of slippery vocal gabbling Karl Hyde made his name with, before the electro-throbbing thing peters out into tender piano chimes. Are we supposed to take these as denoting a victory of some kind? I dunno, suh, for now this is just the trailer for a full, new Underworld album called Barking, out September 14 through Om".
Pre-order Underworld "Barking" at iTunes.

The UK military is buying an additional C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft, produced by US manufacturer Boeing, Prime Minister David Cameron said Wednesday.
"This aircraft is becoming an absolutely brilliant workhorse for the RAF [Royal Air Force] in terms of bringing men and material into a war zone like Afghanistan but also evacuating civilians in times of need," he told lawmakers in parliament.
The defense ministry was able to buy the additional C-17 after finding savings in its budget, Cameron said.
Continuing the theme of military hardware, Cameron reiterated that the Eurofighter consortium had not yet lost the contract to supply the Indian Air Force with 126 fighter jets, even though the country gave the nod toFrance'sDassault Aviation as the lowest bidder last week.
The Eurofighter consortium is made up of the UK's BAE Systems,Italy's Finmeccanica and the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co.
"I'm very disappointed by what has happened in India, but Eurofighter is not out of the contest, and we need to re-engage as hard as we can to make sure that we get the best deal for all those workers in Britain who make Eurofighters," he said.
And asked about reports that BAE Systems is considering closing its historic dockyard in Portsmouth, on the southern coast of England, putting some 1,500 jobs at risk, Cameron said he was not aware that the company had made any decisions.
"BAE systems has not approached the government with any proposal to rationalize shipbuilding in the UK," he said.

Get ready to rock your socks off as the highly successful Queen musical We Will Rock You comes to Scotland. In its ninth year, the cast includes former Hear'say singer Noel Sullivan and Over The Rainbow's Jenny Douglas and is an all-singing, all-dancing musical rockathon.
Writer and producer Ben Elton has fashioned a laugh-out-loud futuristic comedy incorporating more than 24 of Queen's biggest hit songs, with Brian May and Roger Taylor supervising the music. Lead cast member Jenny told The Hour:
"From a singer's point of view [We Will Rock You] is a pretty big thing. I think that all the parts are really vocally challenging so as a singer first and foremost it is pretty much like your dream job."
Scots-born Jenny sang the song 'No-One Like You' at her audition. The tune was written by Brian May and Roger Taylor as a tribute to Freddie Mercury and other rock legends who are no longer with us. Jenny said:
"When I went in there [to the audition] I was sitting with all the other girls and I was like, oh my god, it's Brian May!
"When I went in knowing that, it just changed my whole approach to how I was going to sing it because it's a really emotional song and it's an honour to sing."
Noel Sullivan plays the part of Galileo in the rockfest and previously starred as Danny Zucko in the musical version of Grease. He said:
"I've been working in musical theatre for eight years now, and working my way up the ladder as the lead man in We Will Rock You is the most incredible role I've ever had. With Danny you have to do it like John Travolta but with Galileo you are given the reign to make it your own.
"We had to do a workshop with Ben Elton, which was quite daunting because he's very direct and knows exactly what he wants. For the final audition there were 35 people on the panel including Brian May and Roger Taylor, and you're going in and singing Queen songs to Queen. It doesn't get more daunting than that!"
Other stars taking part in the rockathon include X Factor's Rhydian Roberts, actor Ian Redding, who played Tricky Dicky in Eastenders and Vernon Tomlin in Coronation Street, and Brookside's Leon Lopez.
We Will Rock You will be showing in 2011 at Glasgow King's Theatre from January 18 – February 19 and His Majesty's Theatre in Aberdeen from June 7 – July 2. The show will also be showing at the Edinburgh Playhouse from November 19 2011 – 7 January 2012. Check with each theatre for performance times.

UC Irvine senior Lalita Patipaksiri has quite a full plate.
She works two jobs, is taking 24 units and is the only senior on a UCI team fresh off a fifth-place finish in the Juli Inkster Invitational in San Jose, where Patipaksiri had her best tournament of the spring season. She finished third overall, at even par, two shots behind champion Joanne Lee of Cal.
Patipaksiri and teammates were blasting balls into a net inside Crawford Hall on Sunday in preparation for the Anteater Invitational Monday and Tuesday at Dove Canyon Country Club.
She took a few minutes to talk about the Juli Inkster Invitational, reflect on her college career and describe how she got into golf.
She started ice skating at a young age, but when she was 9 she switched to golf to make it easier for her parents, who had to drive her to the ice rink and her older brother Andrew to the golf course.
"I switched [sports] so my parents didn't have to drive both places," Patipaksiri said. Andrew played golf at UC Riverside and Lalita said he plays professionally on smaller tours.
"I'm happy with golf because it's more long-term," Patipaksiri said.
She starred at Cypress High, helping the Centurions go 15-0 in 2005, according to the Orange County Register. She was medalist in every match that year. In 2007 she was part of the Southern California team that won the 30th Girls' Junior America's Cup at Waverley Country Club in Portland, Ore.
Patipaksiri has been a consistent performer for UCI. She played all 31 rounds as a freshman and earned second-team All-Big West Conference honors her sophomore and junior years. As a junior, Patipaksiri finished fourth in the conference tournament and ended the year with four top-10 finishes.
She has been pleased with her Anteater career.
"At the end of every season [coach Julie Brooks] gives an individual meeting to assess our progress," Patipaksiri explained. "One of the things is lower scoring average and I've done that every year." Patipaksiri led the Anteaters with a 75.36 stroke average in 11 rounds last fall.
Patipaksiri finished the Juli Inkster Invitational at even par (73-71-72 — 216), playing the Almaden Golf & Country Club for the fourth straight season. UCI placed fifth among 12 teams.
"I always tended to mess up in one round,' Patipaksiri said. "This is the first tournament I was able to consistently play well all three rounds. I knew I was close to the lead. In my mind I wasn't thinking I have a chance to win, but felt like I was capable. I was hitting it straight and made putts when I needed to. I made a few long ones that really helped me play well.
"[The course] is infamous for bad weather. The last day was really windy and I hate playing in the wind. I was surprised I finished strong."
Brooks said Patipaksiri's progress the last four years is evident from tee to green.
"She's executing better now than ever," Brooks said. "She can go through the round before she plays and knows where she needs to be." Patispaksiri stands 5-foot-2. She's learned how to tailor her game to her size.
"I'm not that long of a hitter so I need to work on fairway wood and approach shots to the greens," she said. "I've learned where to miss, so it's easier to chip. Working on the short game is key."
Patipaksiri said being more composed has also helped.
"I used to be really nervous traveling and playing in tournaments," she said. "I had high expectations and put pressure on myself. I've gotten a lot better. I've overcome [the nerves] through experience. I can't jump ahead of myself."
She's also learned how to handle injury.

The Valdosta-Lowndes County chapter of Habitat for Humanity will dedicate a home in honor of 9/11 victims later this fall.
It's the third house the organization has built this year, but that's fewer than they normally build. It's been a tough year for the charity.
One family in need will soon move into this home on Troup Street. Built by hundreds of volunteers, military members, and first responders, this home's theme is called the Freedom Build, in honor to those who lost their lives on 9/11.
"There are a lot of really good people out there, people who think of others before they think of themselves, who come out to our construction sites, give their time to see that a family's life is changed forever. This home will change someone's life forever," said Stuart Mullis, Executive Director for Valdosta-Lowndes County chapter.
But getting donations has been hard for the organization. Their federal funding budget has been cut in half. They've only built three homes this year and in past years they've already built seven.
"We've been hurt by the economy its slowed down individual donations, corporate donations, its slowed down everything. So we have to adapt there's no question about that, but we'll be back, we'll come in as strong as we can, when we can," said Mullis.
But Habitat for Humanity won't stop building.
All on the same block there are two habitat homes behind me and three across the street. The purpose for all of these families is to support each other through this life changing experience.
"We like to build in areas where we can build several houses together because it makes a core of common experience with the homeowners, it starts a trend in the neighborhood of straightening up, cleaning up," said Mike Eddington, Resource Manager.
This home will cost about $70,000 to build but all of the labor is free, and the chosen homeowners will have a zero interest mortgage.
The home will be completed in the next month.
The organization hopes to build three of four more homes by the end of the year.

News: Ice-T Readies New Record Label, "We're Swamped W/ Bubblegum Pop"
Thursday, Apr 30, 2009 4:00PM
Hip-Hop mogul Ice-T has announced plans to launch a digital-based record label in hopes of re-igniting the sounds of late rappers Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur.
Along with detailing his motivation for the company, the rapper-turned-actor also revealed artists he's already signed to the label.
"I'm starting a digital label through EMI," he explained. "I'm trying to get back to more hip hop. To me, music right now is like disco. It's very sing-songy, and nobody's dealing with content. That's what I miss. I miss Tupac and Big. You got Lupe Fiasco and T.I now, but in general, we're swamped with bubblegum pop...We signed about five groups. We've got an artist from L.A., a group called Certified from Washington State, Born Twice from Houston and a Korean kid from New York. I'm playing the whole map." (New York Daily News)
Ice-T previously accused Soulja Boy for damaging the state of hip-hop last summer.
"F*ck Soulja Boy," he said in an interview. "Eat a d*ck. This n*gga single handedly killed hip-hop. Soulja Boy, let me talk about Soulja Boy, I know you're young enough to be my kid but you single handedly killed hip-hop man. That sh*t is such garbage. You can't do that man, we came all the way from Rakim, we came all the way from Das EFX, we came all the way from motherf*ckers flowing like Big Daddy Kane and Ice Cube and you come with that 'Superman' sh*t? That sh*t is garbage." (YouTube)
The teen rapper, in response, turned Ice-T's words into a short-lived rap battle.
"I swear, I respect everybody who started this, who opened the doors for young artists like me to get in to the hip-hop and music industry," Soulja Boy said in a video. "I know Ice-T is a legend in the game and he's a veteran and all that, but n*gga once you tell me 'Eat a d*ck', and I hear that on the radio in my city--the reality behind it is that the game has changed. There's new and young n*ggas out and eating and nobody wanna hear that old sh*t no more." (Soulja Boy)
Along with starring in films and television shows, Ice-T has nearly two decades of history within the music industry.
Although he was one of the leading figures of Californian hip-hop in the '80s, Ice-T was born in Newark, NJ. After he left high school, he recorded several undistinguished 12" singles in the early '80s. He also appeared in the low-budget hip-hop films Rappin', Breakin', and Breakin' II: Electric Boogaloo as he was trying to establish a career. Ice-T finally landed a major-label record deal with Sire Records in 1987, releasing his debut album, Rhyme Pays. (All Music)

My wife got tickets for us to go to the Week 3 preseason game vs the Colts Sat Aug25th. Trying to see who will be there...maybe meet up for a tailgate and actually put a face with some names here!!!
She originally asked whether I wanted to go to the Panthers or Eagles regular season game, I told her not to worry about it (we don't have tons of disposable income...even though I wouldn't mind seeing RGIII vs. Cam matchup). She didn't reply when I said don't worry about it, so I sent her a text to see if she was mad that I said to save her money. She sent one back saying she compromised and bought this game. I am actually a little more excited for this game because #1) It's way cheaper than a regular season game, #2) I get to watch RGIII and Luck go at it for at least a half, and #3) I get to see some of the youngsters play that I wouldn't get to see (hopefully) in the regular season (ie: Alfred Morris, Cousins, Gettis, Compton (not Crompton), LeRib, Keenan Robinson, etc).

Miss La Jolla aims next for Miss California Teen title
By Blair Brice
Kristin Cleavinger may be a stranger to La Jolla, but she is no stranger to Donald Trump's Miss California Teen pageant. While the newly crowned Miss La Jolla may reside in Scripps Ranch, Cleavinger considers herself to be greatly immersed in the 92037 community — she is a native La Jollan, is employed by the local Sprinkles Cupcake branch, and is an active member of the Student Board at La Jolla Playhouse.
Locale aside, Cleavinger said she is thrilled to be representing "such a beautiful area of San Diego." Hoping to clinch the title of Miss California Teen, the 17-year-old Scripps Ranch High School senior and daughter of Lhen and Jeff Cleavinger, has begun her race toward the big win at the statewide pageant set for Palm Springs in November. Winning this coveted title would grant exposure and opportunities including "appearances and work at charity events, scholarships, prize money, celebrity events, exposure among show business professionals, building self confidence, communication skills, and gifts from sponsors (of the organization/pageant)," Cleavinger said.
In the upcoming months, Cleavinger will be busy networking with companies, organizations, stylists, photographers and artists to sharpen her Miss California Teen image. Cleavinger's campaign and event information is fueled primarily through her Twitter and Facebook accounts, each relaying dates of fund-raisers, benefits and happenings, and extending promotional discount codes to followers for her sponsor's clothing lines.
Cleavinger's fervor for stage appearances began in youth theater. Her first taste of pageantry came a few years ago after a meeting with an agent from Abrams Artists Agency in Los Angeles. Shortly thereafter, she was signed with LACasting.com, where she learned of the Miss California Teen program.
"I submitted my profile for the role of a contestant pretty pessimistic about receiving a call or response," she said. "A few days later I received a call from a recruiter for Miss California and Miss California Teen contestants. She conducted a phone interview and based off her impressions, she invited me and my mom to meet her at her Beverly Hills office. After my in-person interview, I had to do some fundraising (selling cupcakes by the dozen) to pay for my entrance fee of $850. All of my friends and family were so supportive, and because of them I am a current contestant."
Cleavinger's outlet for community service comes from working with children. The organization closest to her heart is Isabella's Giraffe Club, a non-profit that offers emotional and educational support to parents of stillbirths and SIDS. Founder Angela Amoroso and her husband Drew have donated countless hours to the cause since losing their daughter to SIDS. The Amorosos happen to own Scripps Performing Arts Academy where Cleavinger performed in musical theater as a child and currently volunteers as an instructor.
Cleavinger has also recently worked as an event coordinator for the American Girl Fashion Show, and Art with HeArt.
"I believe that part of my responsibility as a human being and a member of society is to help in any way I can to positively influence the younger generations and to be a good role model," she said.
If all goes well for Cleavinger at the November pageant, she will earn a seat in the nationally syndicated Miss Teen USA pageant held in the Bahamas.

Amarillo, Texas - Some pet owners are calling it a "super flea".
Animal owners don't expect fleas and ticks to be a problem in winter months, but recently they've been popping up. Not only have people across the country said their pet's flea medications seem to not be working anymore, but also right here in the panhandle some owners are agreeing.
Usually winter months bring relief from these pests, but they are still sticking around. Some people are even calling them super fleas.
We spoke with area veterinarians today to learn more about this super flea, and we found out, they don't really exist. Doctor Merten Pearson says owners need to do more than just apply a medication to their pets, even in winter months.
"If all you're doing is treating the adults that are on the pet, you've left 95%of that flea population untouched. So, if you want to control fleas you've got to attack in multiple places to try to break that life cycle in multiple places," Merten Pearson, DVM says.
Dr. Pearson says fleas will still live and reproduce on pets who are inside during winter months. Owners need to target all life cycles of fleas to get rid of them.
Medications are still working effectively killing adult fleas, but treating the inside of your home, especially in winter months for that 95% of fleas not on your animal will reduce the problem.

I'm a Kaiser emergency physician who fell in love with Bearskin Meadow Camp and DYF when my son was diagnosed at age 4 with Type 1 diabetes. We attended Family Camp just three weeks after diagnosis and our son's attitude was transformed overnight. I joined the Board in the fall of 2011 in an effort to give back to DYF and the diabetic community in general.

The DYF helps me meld those two areas into actions that can personally affect children living with diabetes. Although my children and husband do not have diabetes, we have a family history and many friends and extended family members that are thriving thanks to information, education and support similar to what the DYF provides. I have been involved with the DYF for the past 6 years, serving on the board for the past 2 years.
Lena McCleary, Board Director
My son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in July of 2004 and since 2005, I've been a "camp mom." Through the years, we have participated in almost all of DYF's programs. I have a BA in economics from Bucknell University and an MBA from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). Immediately after graduating from CMU I started working for Intel Corporation in finance where I continued for 18 years becoming a vice president of finance. After having my second child in 2000, the demands of my career and my family became overwhelming. In the summer of 2001 I resigned from Intel. In the spring of 2004 I accepted a part-time position as director of administration for the Grove Foundation. My son was diagnosed with type 1 shortly after I started that position and by early 2005 I realized I needed full-time flexibility during the summer months to deal with my son's care. I have been a full-time "mom" since the summer of 2005. I hope to benefit DYF through my training and experience in financial and organizational management.

With the NHL schedule already cancelled through Nov. 1, there is a bit of optimism that the league could begin a condensed 82-game schedule on Nov. 2. Of course, that all hinges on the NHL's ability to ratify a new collective bargaining agreement with the NHL Players Association by the end of this week.
If you are the kind of person who is inclined to place a wager on these kinds of things, Bovada has set the odds for you. As of this time, the odds are set at 3-to-1 that the lockout will end on or after Nov. 2, while another line has it set at 2-to-1 that the lockout ends before Nov. 2.
If you're the pessimistic type, the line for the lockout ending before Jan. 1 is currently set at 1-to-1, while wagers placed on the lockout ending after Jan. 1 is set at 4-to-7. As of this time, there are no scheduled negotiations between the NHL and NHLPA, so you probably want to account for that when placing your bets.

Version control and deployment workflow
5 September 2013 at 7:47pm
Hello all,
I wanted to ask what the best practices for Version control and for a good deployment workflow are. I'm currently developing a website, where I don't really need the CMS part.
Currently, I'm putting the following directories and files under version control:
- mysite directory
- themes directory with my custom theme only
- composer.json
- composer.lock
Should I put other files under version control? Please consider that I'm trying to put only those files under version control that cannot be retrieved via composer and that are specific to my website.
I then develop using the following flow:
1) Create a silverstripe project using composer.
2) Execute the installation
3) Develop on my dev machine.
4) Code will be pushed via git to a git repository (beanstalkapp.com in my case).
5) Code will be deployed to the test web server.
Step 5 is what confuses me. Ideally, my goal would be to completely remove the old deployed version and redeploy everything. So step 5 would be split up in:
1) Create backup of old working version
2) Create silverstripe project with composer. Not sure if this step is really needed, since I have composer.json and composer.lock version controlled and I could just run "composer install/update" later.
3) Execute the web installation. Since I don't use the CMS, is the web installation anyway required?
4) Copy over the files from Beanstalk
5) Copy over _ss_environment.php from old working directory to have the correct settings.
6) Execute "composer install" (or is a "composer update" enough?) to get all required dependencies.
7) Execute make and run some tests that confirm that everything is fine.
Please let me know what you think of the explained workflow. I would really appreciate some feedback.

You can run 3.0 without the CMS, CMS is now it's own self contained module which you can simply not include
Should I put other files under version control
All those 4 items you mention should be VC. The lock file specifies the exact SHA1 version of the code you're using so people can run composer install to get the exactly same dependancies as you (vs composer update).
In prod you should always run composer install rather than updatqe to avoid getting the wrong code in production. Not sure if Beanstalk supports running composer (haven't used it myself). For my workflow I use https://github.com/dnadesign/shipistrano which is built on top of the popular Capistrano deployment system. The workflow for Shipistrano is checkout the project folder, composer install to grab latest assets and rsync up to the target server (prod, staging or UAT) which works well.
If you only have FTP for deployment you're outta luck for most solutions and composer support.
Regarding your other questions:
All the installer does is setup the .htaccess file, _config.php and check requirements. All of which you don't need to every deploy so leave the _ss_environment.php on your test box and just copy up your new files and run dev/build (you'll also need to copy any assets you need to test).

Thanks Willr for your answer.
All those 4 items you mention should be VC.
Are there actually also other files I should put under version control? E.g. behat.yml, build.xml, web.config and so on.
I am asking this because if I run
composer --no-dev --prefer-source --no-interaction create-project silverstripe/installer
then I end up with all this files in my project root dir, which are not created if I just copy the composer.json and composer.lock files over and run
composer install
Not sure if Beanstalk supports running composer
Beanstalk doesn't support running composer, but it supports running shell scripts via SSH so you can do almost everything...with some scripting.;)
The workflow for Shipistrano is checkout the project folder
Does it mean that you put the entire project root folder under version control? What about the framework directory do you put it under version control?

The whole project is under VC apart from dependancies such as framework. Since this is managed by composer, it doesn't need to be in your Git repo.

Re: Version control and deployment workflow

I have the same question as the topic creator. In my current case, the only needed files for version control are the 4 already described documents:
- mysite directory
- themes directory with my custom theme only
- composer.json
- composer.lock
In the install SilverStripe via composer guide it says, that the preferred installation method is "composer install" because it will look after your composer.lock file. But my problem is the following:
When i deploy my 4 files into a folder on my webserver and call composer install, i get the framework, the cms and the modules. but all the files in the root folder of the project (Web.config, index.php and so on) are not added.
Then i tested the "composer create-project silverstripe/installer ./test" command, which created these files and added all the needed basic things like framework and cms including the root files. But then i have to copy or clone my repository content inside the root folder afterwards, which is not really cool in my opinion because the approach is flipped.
When i create the folder first, add the files from git and then run the installer, the installation fails because the folder already exists and is not empty.
So my question is: What do i have to set under version control and how can i install SilverStripe with my specific files in another environment like my live webserver without adding everything to git?
The code of my composer.json looks like:
"require": {
"ajshort/silverstripe-gridfieldextensions": "dev-master",
"silverstripe/multivaluefield": "dev-master",
"sheadawson/silverstripe-blocks": "dev-master"
Thanks in advance.

Just to add my current workflow into this (in case it helps).
1. On dev machine pull down the silverstripe installer from github.
2. Customise and add relevent modules to the composer.json file.
3. Setup .gitignore to include additional dependencies I have added.
4. Run composer install (as I have installed composer system wide, otherwise I would pull down composer and add it to the project root).
5. Once everything is pulled down, setup db and config
6. Setup a new project in my VCS (currently BitBucket).
7. Run #git init followed by git remote add origin url/to/git/repo.
8. #git push origin master.
Once I am ready to deploy, I usually use annotated tags in Git. So I run #git tag -a 1.0-b1
This creates an annotated tag, which I then push to the repo.
I have git installed on my servers, and then just ssh in and run #git fetch --tags and then #git checkout 1.0-b1
Then run #composer install if I have updated dependencies.
Think that is it!
@rootix, composer won't pull down the files out of your repo. It simply deals with dependencies. You would have to deploy your project files with your web.config, composer.json, composer.lock, themes, etc first.
Then use composer to pull down the dependencies.
Hope that makes sense?

Thanks for the insight, Mo.
I understand that composer does not get things out of my repo. The main question is: When i develop a website on my local machine, which files of the whole cms (Installed with installer, framework, cms and some needed modules there) do i have to set under version and which files not. Obviously the module folders are not necessary because i can reinstall them with composer install when deploying to the live webserver.
But what is with the framework, cms, themes/simple folders? And the root files like index.php and so on? Do i have to commit them into my repository?

The only files I commit are:
themes (with any sub folders)
composer.lock (though this depends on the project and whi is working on it, if it is just me, I don't usually bother).
Framework is the Silverstripe framework libraries. This is required for you to work with Silverstripe.
CMS adds additional content management libraries (you need this if you want to create content managed websites).
Themes/simple is the default theme shipped with silverstripe
if you want to create new themes, you add them as new folders to the themes directory.
Framework and CMS can be added to composer and managed via the composer.json, so they do not need to be in your repo.
Only add themes/simple if you want to use that theme in your project.
Not sure if that makes sense? Is that what you needed to know?

Dana Holgorsen made some comments after the Bowling Green game that were a little hard to hear. The poor attendance for that game obviously had the coach irritated, and he wasn't silent about it.
That press conference got plenty of attention from the fan base, and as the debates continued, the blame started to deflect toward the students.
As a student, this originally had me upset. I have been to every game in my three years here. I have been in early enough to see the band in each of those games, and I always stay long enough to sing "Country Roads". I have a group of friends that go to every game with me, and they treat game days the same way I do.
We would be surrounded by many of the same people week by week, and every time I heard someone come out against the students, I thought of this group of people I see at every game and did what I could to defend them.
This Saturday, though, I looked around early in the first quarter and came to a sad realization: there aren't nearly as many of us as I had originally thought. Maybe the criticism is warranted.
Now, I do understand that the Bowling Green game was an anomaly. Milan Puskar Stadium is almost never as empty as we saw it that day, and there were certain factors that led to the disappointing turnout.
First of all, the team was going up against a MAC team just a week after taking on the top-ranked team in the country. After the atmosphere we saw for the LSU game, it was unrealistic to think the same would be created for Bowling Green. Combine that with the cold and rainy conditions, and it led to an emptier-than-expected stadium. That led Holgorsen to make his somewhat controversial comments.
However, in the Big East opener against Connecticut on Saturday, the weather was absolutely beautiful, and the general public showed up in full force. The students on the other hand, left a corner of the stands virtually empty. It was mind-boggling for me. Was it because it was a noon start? Could some of these no-shows actually argue that it was too hot?
Maybe it was a little bit of both, but the excuse I heard more than any other is that it was hard to get up for UConn. If we want to get a crowd like the elite programs, we need to start playing an elite schedule.
Sure, it would be great to have an LSU-type game every week, but that argument has too many holes in it. First of all, many of the SEC schools fill their stadiums whether they're playing Alabama or Charleston Southern. The opponent shouldn't matter.
Second of all, and more importantly, college football is in a state of change right now. It's no secret that most WVU fans would like to get out of the Big East and head for greener pastures, whether that be the Big XII or SEC. Now, don't read too much into this. I don't know any more than any of you when it comes to conference realignment, but I would think that one of West Virginia's biggest selling points is the rabid fan base.
If we want to start playing an SEC schedule, our students have to start acting like an SEC fan base. Whether or not the attendance at a game like Bowling Green has any influence on another conference's perception, I have no idea, but it certainly can't help.
The student section is usually the loudest, most rowdy section in the stadium. The team needs that section to be in the stadium when the game starts, and stay there until the game is over. It can't be fun for them knowing that as soon as they open any kind of lead, a large number of their fellow students will start heading for the exits, and that's exactly what we've seen so far this season.
I believe that part of the problem is that many students enjoy the pre-game and post-game "festivities" more than the actual game itself. That's not a reasonable excuse, either. The stadium should not be reaching its full capacity toward the end of the first quarter, and it definitely should not be emptying out at halftime. It should be full from start to finish, and as much as it pains me to say it, the students are the biggest reason that this is not happening.
Don't get me wrong, there is a population of students at this school that truly deserves the name Mountaineer Maniacs. It's important for us to remember that our fan support and attendance is still as good as it gets in the Big East and that many other schools would love to have their stadiums look like ours does on Saturdays.
Our fan base doesn't want to compare this team to other schools in the Big East, though. It wants to compare it to other teams across the country. The fans, especially the student section, should be held to the same regard, and right now there are many students keeping the West Virginia fan base from being among the elite on the national level.
That isn't easy to hear for a state that invests so much in this school. I really believe that WVU is a great institution and that our sports program is something in which we should all take pride. That's great, but the next time the team runs out onto the field, it's time all of our students, not just a select few, give the team something to take pride in, as well.

CHD8 is an independent prognostic indicator that regulates Wnt/β-catenin signaling and the cell cycle in gastric cancer

The chromodomain helicase DNA-binding (CHD) family comprises a class of chromatin remodeling enzymes. Previous studies suggest that CHD8 may negatively regulate various genes and signaling pathways, such as the Wnt/β‑catenin pathway. However, few studies have investigated the role of CHD8 in cancer cells. We analyzed the expression of CHD8 in cancer lesions and corresponding non-cancerous tissues to demonstrate the prognostic significance of CHD8 expression in 101 cases of gastric cancer. We also investigated the functional implications of aberrant CHD8 expression by conducting gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Expression of CHD8 mRNA was significantly lower in gastric cancer tissues compared to that in corresponding normal tissues (P=0.003). In multivariate analysis for overall survival, we found that CHD8 expression was an independent prognostic factor in gastric cancer. Moreover, GSEA revealed that CHD8 was significantly associated with genes involved in the Wnt/β‑catenin pathway and in the cell cycle. In addition, knockdown of CHD8 expression in the gastric cancer cell lines, MKN45 and NUGC4, promoted proliferation. In conclusion, the present study suggests that loss of CHD8 expression may be a novel indicator for biological aggressiveness in gastric cancer.

November 2008 Archives
In the good old days we used to enjoy Christmas. It began not long after we stepped from the plane with a straw donkey and a suitcase full of cheap fags, and really got into full swing just after we lit our last sparkler.
An object lesson in how to get a complex message across in an entertaining way.
Watch some stop-motion animals explain how you can lower your impact on the planet:
Great fun to watch. Thanks to Ken Oxley at the Sunday Sun for suggesting this site.
Given that I've no dating possibilities on the horizon, I'm sat watching the tellybox night after night and as a result have found myself developing an unhealthy addiction to "I'm A Celebrity... etc", not because I enjoy watching folk eating animal genitalia (something that is presumably a boon to any fetishist whose internet connection has failed) but because of the relationship dynamics.
The other night two WAGs were chatting away to each other about their wonderful relationships, which caused Esther Rantzen to break down in tears about missing her deceased husband Desmond. It was so very sad to witness but in a selfish way made me think of my own single status.
I'm not going to blather on, however, about the downsides of being on one's own, but instead concentrate on the upsides. No-one to ever say sniffily: "Don't you think you've had enough to drink?" or look up from their newspaper as you're heading out the door for a night out with the girls and mutter tetchily: "You're wearing THAT?" No need to hide a ridiculously expensive impulse purchase in the wardrobe. No-one to question the phone bill. My delightful ex-husband once went through our itemised bill line by line and rang a number he didn't recognise to find out who I'd been speaking to for over an hour. Not because he thought I was talking to anyone I shouldn't be (I wasn't) but because he expected me to produce what he felt was an acceptable reason for the time I had spent on the telephone. Mind you, given that he is now immensly wealthy and I, most emphatically, am not, perhaps there was method in his nit-picking financially prudent madness.
Meanwhile, the Madonna and Guy Ritchie divorce is about go through, with Mr Ritchie reportedly not taking a penny of his soon to be ex-wife's money. This sounds terribly noble until you read that he is in possession of a ã30 million pound fortune himself. Hardly the breadline, folks.
Anyway, b*llocks to them and back to me. If you haven't got any spare cash, how are you supposed to go out dressed in your best in order to meet someone who with luck will turn out to the man you spend the rest of your life with? My best mate is always telling me that if someone asks me out for dinner I should go whether, on the basis that it's a free meal and more importantly I might enjoy myself. She's a switched on girl and thinking that this was sound advice, I did this once: never again. Don't do it girls. At the end of dinner, after three bottles of outrageously expensive wine and some utterly delicious food (he was paying, so why not), the bill came and he did that patting of all his pockets schtick and then announced he'd left his wallet at home. Yes, it was genuine and yes, he did give me the money the following day but in the meantime my paying the bill put me right up to my overdraft limit and as a result two direct debits bounced. I hadn't the nerve to say to him, "that'll be an extra thirty quid please," so needless to say, I didn't go out with him again.
Perhaps when one is embarking on a date both parties should draw up a document similar to Pre-Nup. You know, with clauses such as a cheque book/credit card/cash must be produced at the beginning of the evening to prove ability to pay; there will be no lunging for a goodnight kiss unless the other party has indicated this is acceptable; a visit to Pizza Hut does not count as "dinner". And so on and so forth.
Although this attitude might count as a reason for my singledom of course.
He was, it has to be said, not the best contestant in Strictly Come Dancing but John Sergeant got my vote. He was a hero who defied the odds to avoid the dreaded dance-off and return the following week...and the following week...and the following week. But by his decision to quit he became a zero in an instant.
I was in my loft the other day and found a half drunk cup of tea. I hadn't been in there for almost three months. I have since found a glass half full of wine behind the rubber plant in the bathroom and on Sunday morning, the normally bustling bird table in my garden was silent and almost deserted.
We have just been to visit Son No One in Manchester for a couple of days and stayed on the eighth floor of a luxury hotel with a view of the Manchester Wheel and Harvey Nicholls. Son No. Two however, wanted to experience life in the student house so he stayed with Son No. One...
DID anyone else feel jipped at last week's Antiques Roadshow.
It was the one with shed-loads of publicity about the first ã1m valuation by the show's experts.
And as the programme was recorded at the Sage Gateshead I tuned in expecting to see all the emotion of a ordinary man or woman who found a genuine antique in their possession.
What I got was....
I was made redundant a while ago and have since learned that whilst unemployment doesn't open many doors, it certainly opens your eyes. Last week I was standing in line waiting to sign on when 6 feet 6 inches of Tattoo walked through the door and muscled its way to the front of the queue.
"JUST hold it there," said Chris Crudelli with a broad smile. "Its about the mind having control over the body..."
Of course that was easy for Chris to say - he was standing upright!
The rest of us were crouched over, legs spread wide apart, knees bent at right angles, groaning, sweating and jibbering as we held the infamous horse stance for what seemed a life time.
There I was, deep in horse stance with every muscle in my legs screaming "Stop! Now!" and thinking "Why I'm I doing this?"
But of course Chris is right - the mind is such a powerful thing that it really can kick the proverbial ass of the body any day if you believe it can.
He also had us practising developing Chi, or Ki if you follow the Japanese arts.
Question is - what is the force that you can feel in your hands when you practise the Qi Quong techniques?
Saving money, reducing your waste and reuse can go hand-in-hand or rather toe-to-toe.
Let me introduce you to the newest YouTube "sensation" - How to darn a sock.
Okay it's not getting as many hits as the latest X-Factor pop-tart but 21,998 views isn't bad.
Seriously though all clothes come with an impact on the environment, including their carbon footprint and their waste footprint. By repairing a perfectly serviceable sock you are not only saving money but lowering your impact on the planet.
Still don't believe that socks have a major impact. The factory town of Datang in China, alone produces nine billion pairs of socks each year.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - Wisconsin Republican voters are apparently getting behind Mitt Romney as the state's presidential primary gets closer.
The former Massachusetts governor leads Rick Santorum 46-33 percent in a Rasmussen phone survey of 1,000 likely GOP voters in Wisconsin. Ron Paul got 8 percent of the support, and Newt Gingrich 7 percent.
Santorum, a former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, had led Wisconsin in recent polls. And pollster Scott Rasmussen told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the new numbers are a little surprising.
He said there's a, "growing perception that Romney is going to be the nominee," and that he's the strongest GOP challenger to President Obama in November.
The Rasmussen poll was taken on Wednesday, the day after Romney won the primary in neighboring Illinois to build a 2-1 lead over Santorum in total delegates. Only 5 percent in the Rasmussen poll are undecided.
Thursday, House Republican Jim Sensenbrenner said he saw a lot of undecided people recently, noting that the public's focus on the White House race has taken a back seat to the Walker recall effort.
Santorum hopes to rally the troops this weekend with 5 appearances throughout eastern and southeast Wisconsin. Romney and Gingrich are also planning Badger State visits.

Trend Spotting: Blue Beauty
Blue eye shadow is no longer stuck in the 80′s! I love how Kate Hudson and Beyonce rock the look without it being too over the top. By keeping the rest of the face fresh with some bronzer and neutral lips, the blue really pops and brings out your eyes. Try a wingtip for an extra dramatic effect and finish off the look with some black mascara!

Spieth replaces Snedeker in Woods' tournament
Tiger Woods' upcoming Northwestern Mutual World Challenge has filled a vacant spot in its field with Jordan Spieth, according to the event's website.
Spieth, a 20-year-old who earned $3,879,820 during his rookie season in 2013 and won the John Deere Classic, finished 17th at the WGC-HSBC Champions earlier this month in China.
The former University of Texas standout replaces Brandt Snedeker, who was injured falling off a Segway scooter in China. A news release Monday said Snedeker is "ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation program, but with a busy PGA Tour schedule early in 2014 he decided against pushing his return to competition."
Spieth is the 21st-ranked golfer in the world.

This is a rocky time for IBM. That is the frank verdict from Virginia M. Rometty, the technology giants chief executive.
In recent years, revenue growth at IBM has been stubbornly elusive, and new technologies such as cloud computing have risen to threaten the companys traditional hardware and software businesses. Those concerns have weighed on the companys stock price, which has been stagnant since Rometty took over nearly 2 1/2 years ago.
But in an interview at IBMs headquarters in Armonk, N.Y., Rometty said she and the company now had a clear vision for how to pursue another generation of growth.
The company, she says, has jettisoned less profitable business and made major commitments in new fields such as technology to help customers find insights in todays flood of digital data and cloud-style computing in which processing and software are delivered remotely over the Internet. Cloud computing, she insists, can be converted to an opportunity for IBM.
We are transforming this company for the next decade, she said, sounding a theme she plans to make Wednesday at the companys yearly meeting with investment analysts. That is not a one-year job, not when youre a hundred billion-dollar company.
IBM employs thousands of people at its Research Triangle Park campus.
The challenge facing Rometty, 56, is similar to those faced by previous IBM executives: figure out how to move to new business opportunities faster than the lucrative, older businesses erode.
Over the years, personal computing, the Internet and Indian services firms seemed like dire threats to the company. Each time, IBM adapted and invested, and emerged remade and reinvigorated.
I feel very good about the direction and how weve crystallized it, she said. She later added, We are making progress, and we just need to keep moving with speed.
Rometty characterized some problems, such as the falloff in its once-booming China business and the losses in its semiconductor unit, as relatively fleeting or fixable. Less than 15 percent of IBMs revenue comes from hardware sales, but a down cycle in that business can hit hard, as it has in the past year.
One ingredient in the fix-it formula is shedding profit laggards. In January, IBM announced it was selling its division that makes industry-standard server computers to Lenovo of China for $2.3 billion.
Romettys message to IBMs more than 400,000 employees is to embrace the future, and quickly, rather than resist it. The abrupt change in the companys approach to cloud computing recently, analysts say, is an example.
IBM, analysts say, was slow to grasp the significance of cloud computing. That technology, they note, is the most pointed threat to IBM because it has the potential to displace big parts of the companys business of selling hardware, software and services to corporations in their data centers.
For years, analysts say, the companys SmartCloud offering was a fairly typical response of an incumbent supplier to a new technology. It was treated as an extension of IBMs existing product line rather than something genuinely new.
But IBM signaled a new strategy, starting last June, when it bought a fast-growing cloud computing startup, SoftLayer Technologies, for $2 billion.
Since then, the cloud DNA, as one analyst put it, has taken root at IBM. In January, the company said it was investing $1.2 billion in cloud data centers, with a goal of having 40 cloud-dedicated centers in 15 countries by the end of 2014. In February, IBM announced it planned to invest $1 billion to build cloud software development tools and attract outside programmers, who want to make cloud applications for corporations. The initiative is called BlueMix.
IBM faces plenty of competitors in the cloud market, including Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Salesforce. And analysts say that as the largest supplier to corporate data center technology, IBM has the most to lose when companies move from traditional data-center computing to cloud rivals of IBM.
Amazon Web Services, analysts say, is the clear leader in so-called public cloud computing, in which services are delivered remotely from Amazon data centers. Public cloud computing, analysts say, is where the growth prospects and developer interest is greatest.
IBM, which reported that its cloud business grew 69 percent last year, to $4.4 billion, still gets most of its sales from private clouds, in which companies deliver cloud-style services to their employees from their own data centers.

Even if this is your first drunk driving offense, or your first brush with the law for any reason, it's going to be an expensive process. The decision you have to make is whether or not you can afford even more expense by hiring an attorney who specializes in drunk driving cases.
Do You 'Need' an Attorney?Naturally, attorneys are going to tell you that you "need" to hire an attorney who focuses on defending drunk drivers. DUI (driving under the influence) is a "serious offense" that could affect your future and employment, they will tell you, and that is true.
As one of the websites that promote drunk driving attorneys says, "Choosing the right DUI lawyer may help you save your driver's license and get your drunk driving charge reduced or even dismissed." The key word there is "may" - they may be able to help and they may not either.
Think about it. If hiring a high-priced DUI attorney won't keep Hollywood movie stars out of trouble, why would it work for you?
Drunk Driving Laws Have ChangedThere was a time when hiring a drunk driving attorney could result in you being able to plead to a lesser charge - such as reckless driving - pay a fine and be done with it. But that was before all 50 states passed what is known as drunk driving per se and other laws, making it mandatory for intoxicated drivers to be adjudicated.
What the per se laws say is, in every state in the U.S., if your blood-alcohol content was measured at 0.08 or above by breath test or blood test, you are in fact guilty of driving while intoxicated. It doesn't matter that you were not staggering or slurring your words or in no other way appeared to be intoxicated, your BAC level alone is all the evidence needed to convict you of DUI.
Your License Will Be SuspendedMeanwhile, 41 states have now passed administrative license suspension laws that allow law enforcement officials to immediately confiscate and suspend your driver's license on the spot, if you fail a field sobriety test or record a BAC level over the legal limit.
In most states, if you refuse to take a breath test, your license is immediately confiscated and revoked.
These new laws allow your driver's license to be suspended as an administrative sanction, completely independent from the criminal court proceedings. The state gives you your driving privileges and the state can take them away. If you are driving with a blood-alcohol level above 0.08, the state will immediately take your license in every state but Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota and Tennessee (as of February 2010).
In those nine states, your license is not suspended until you go to court, but it is suspended if you plea guilty or are convicted.
What Was Your BAC Level?According to one drunk driving attorney website, if you were arrested for DUI, "You could lose your driver's license, be placed in jail and fined substantial fees. Your car insurance rates may rise and you could end up with a criminal conviction on your record that could impact your future and your employment opportunities."
In all 50 states, there is no "may" and "could" about it. If your blood-alcohol level was above the legal limit, you will lose your license, you will be fined, your insurance will go up, and you will be convicted.
One key to determining if hiring a drunk driving attorney will do you any good is knowing your BAC level at the time of your arrest. If you recorded 0.08 or higher, there is little doubt that you will be convicted and have to pay all the fines, fees and extra expenses involved with having a DUI conviction on your driving record.
Where There Any Aggravating Circumstances?There are other factors that could cause you to receive an enhanced sentence, such as, if you have prior offenses, did you cause damage to property, did you injure anyone, endanger a child, etc. You can take the Drunk Driving Enhancements Quiz to determine if there are aggravating circumstances in your case.
If there are, an attorney may be able to help mitigate some of those factors, but in many states even those sentence enhancements have been made mandatory for some factors - such as for repeat offenders - so hiring at attorney may not help much, if at all, in the long run.
What a Drunk Driving Attorney Can DoIf you are truly innocent - your were not drinking at all, but failed the field sobriety test or the breath test - then by all means, hire an attorney. You are going to need one. Don't try to represent yourself if you plan to argue your innocence, seek legal counsel.
But other than that, mostly what an attorney can do for you is make sure you are prepared to go to court by helping you understand what is going to be expected of you and even completing some of those requirements prior to your court appearance.
Getting Insurance, Paying FeesFor example, you attorney may help you obtain SR-22 auto insurance and file the proper forms with the department of motor vehicles. Your attorney also may have you complete any alcohol education or treatment programs required by your state in order to regain your driving privileges.
In other words, your attorney can guide you through the process that he knows you will eventually have to go through anyway. But you can do so prior to sentencing so that your driving privileges will be restored as quickly as possible.
The Bottom LineIf you can easily afford to pay a DUI lawyer's fees, by all means, hire the best attorney you can find. If this is you first experience with breaking the law and you are baffled by the entire process, an attorney can walk you through the steps and make things go as smoothly as possible.
But if you are strapped for cash and all the fines, fees and expenses of a drunk driving conviction are going to be a financial burden for you, hiring an attorney may not really change the outcome of your case in any meaningful way, and quite possibly, in most states become just another bill you will have to pay.

Man, maybe I just have an old phone (3GS), but the app does not work on my phone. Maybe every 4th time, if I wait long enough, it will load. I added BTB to my home screen and access it that way. Works fine, but the app, when it works, is much easier to read comments, etc. Anyone else have any information? The app store feedback section is weak, to say the least.

I know there's a bunch of stat-headers in our community, and if they're anything like me, they might also be fans of Freakonomics. Anyway, there was a post on their NYTimes blog analyzing the Roger Clemens story in light of statistical analysis. Even though I don't care at all about the ESPN-fueled Clemens drama, this is a really interesting article: http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/11/analyzing-roger-clemens-a-step-by-step-guide/
Perhaps this can give us perspective on the Cardinals pitching problems. Would sticking with Reyes as the fifth starter be of use? Can he improve this season as some of the projections suggest? Makes me glad we don't have, say, Steve Traschel as our fifth starter.

The Saint Mary's College library staff is working on a unique Christmas display. A tree made entirely of magazines. The magazines are bound in binders to look like books.
The green are the tree, the red represents the ribbon, and the yellow are the lights. When the tree is done it'll be a little over seven feet tall and will have over 5,000 magazines.
"Possibility of being a unique Christmas tree to create for the library. In the past we've had just a traditional tree but it became intriguing about this idea of using books," said Archivist John Kovich.
The tree's topper will be a book named "A Child Asks for A Star" by a former Saint Mary's Professor. The tree will be on display for a few days after Christmas in the library at Saint Mary's College.

Cal football will be undergoing many new changes under the new coaching regime. One of the big ones hinted at was new uniforms.
Obviously many of us probably don't have opinions on uniforms other than "They look sick" or "They are objectionable" or "Burn them on sight". So we can't really have any idea of what to think until we end up seeing the final product.
But we do have a good idea of what the general design will be like. On a radio show from a month or so back that I have long since lost interest in finding a link to, Dykes reiterated what the final design could end up looking like.
- It will be classical instead of new and edgy, so we could see a retro-style uniform for the Bears or something that isn't too flashy compared to the Oregons of the world.
- It will have two standard designs, one for road, and one for home. No variations, no alternates, no new helmets, no new changes.
- Cal would have one classical uniform for home games (probably blue tops and gold pants or blue tops and blue pants) and one jersey and several pants colors for road games (white tops with potential variations on pants).
This is what I hear from the Internets. I believe it because I can't believe anyone would be disturbing enough to make up FAKE Cal football uniform rumors.
So there will be little variation, which is a return to form to old Cal football ways. The Bears mixed and matched a lot in the final years, and there were many teeth gnashed because of that. On the other hand, the uniforms won't be used as much as a selling point, but it's not like Oregon has been landing top five recruiting classes. Alabama's uniforms are the color of aging algae, and they sign number one classes all the time. So that doesn't seem like a big deal.
It's more a matter of taste and preference. What are you looking out for? What do you want to see with the new unis?
What do you think of Cal football returning to a more standard approach of uniform design? Good idea? Bad idea? Thoughts?

Last week we needed to pick up a few things at the hardware store. We decided to take the Madsen and the Cargo Cruiser.
Without really planning ahead, we ended up getting the perfect amount of stuff to cram onto the bikes. We bought six heads up lettuce, six tomato plants, two basil plants, two lavender plants, broccoli, cauliflower, rosemary, light bulbs, and a 44″ patio table.
The patio table balanced perfectly on the seat and front fork of the bike, allowing us to pack all the lettuce underneath.
It's worth mentioning that we wouldn't have been able to fit this all in our car. The patio table would have been too large and the plants would have been difficult to fit in the trunk and the back seats.
On the bikes, however, we still had plenty of room and could have easily carried another half-dozen heads of lettuce.
Plus, the plants looked much more beautiful on the back of a bike than they would have in the trunk of a car.

Lee C. Howley Sr. Prize for Arthritis Research
The Lee C. Howley Sr. Prize for Research in Arthritis recognizes those researchers whose contributions during the previous five years have represented a significant advance in the understanding, treatment or prevention of arthritis and rheumatic diseases. It is a fitting memorial tribute to Lee C. Howley Sr., former chairman of Revco D.S., Inc., who was instrumental in the establishment of the Revco Arthritis Research Center at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.
The Arthritis Foundation extends its gratitude to the Howley family on behalf of the estimated 50 million Americans who have arthritis for making the Lee C. Howley Sr. Prize for Research in Arthritis possible. The recognition that this program offers for excellence in arthritis research will ensure that the search will continue for cures to the more than 100 forms of arthritis and the rheumatic diseases. The Howley family's expression of commitment offers hope that one day the problems of arthritis will be solved.
The recipients of the 2011 Lee C. Howley Sr. Prize for Arthritis Research are Alisa Erika Koch, MD Professor of Rheumatology at the University of Michigan and Andrew D. Luster, MD, PhD Chief of Rheumatology, Allergy & Immunology and Director of the Research Center for Immunology & Inflammatory Diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Dr. Koch studied extensively at Northwestern and Loyola, concentrating on immunopatheogenesis, cell adhesion, angiogenesis and cytokines, as they relate to the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Through her lab work and many contributions to prestigious scientific journals, Dr. Koch has made a major impact on RA treatments.
Through his work at Duke, Rockefeller, Cornell and Harvard, Dr. Luster has been a pioneer in the birth, growth and development of the chemokine field. His laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital has helped define how chemokines function in immune cell trafficking and in the patheogenesis of immune and inflammatory diseases like arthritis.
Previous recipients include Wayne M. Yokoyama, MD, John O'Shea, MD, Gerard Karsenty, MD, PhD, Michel Nussenzweig, MD, PhD, Gary Koretzky, MD, David Wofsy, MD, Gary Firestein, MD, Chella David, PhD, David Felson, MD, MPH, Jeffrey Ravetch, MD, David V. Goeddel, PhD, Betty Diamond, MD, Peter Lipsky, MD, David S. Pisetsky, MD, PhD, Daniel Kastner, MD, PhD, Morris Reichlin, MD, Matthew H. Liang, MD, MPH, William P.
