Dr. J. Michael Sauder, a UofD Chemistry alumnus, recently received Eli Lilly and Company's most prestigious scientific recognition that it awards to its scientists, the Lilly Research Laboratories (LRL) President's Award. The Award recognized Dr. Sauder's contributions to the enablement of structure-based drug design, the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) in use by the company's structural biology group and his project leadership of the New York SGX Research Center for Structural Genomics (NYSGXRC), an industry-academic consortium funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as part of the Protein Structure Initiative.
Dr. Sauder received a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Delaware where he completed his undergraduate research with Assistant Professor Jim Damewood (1984-1990). He received his Ph.D. in Molecular Biophysics from the University of Pennsylvania. Following post-doctoral research at the Fox Chase Cancer Center's Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia, he accepted a position at San Diego-based Structural GenomiX, Inc. (SGX) in 2000, which later became SGX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Following the acquisition of SGX by Eli Lilly and Company in 2008, Dr. Sauder has been working in the Structural Biology group at the Lilly Biotechnology Center in San Diego, part of the Indianapolis-based Lilly Research Laboratories.
On October 4, 2010 he received the Award from LRL President Jan Lundberg, Ph.D. Dr. Sauder was recognized for enabling the determination of the atomic, three-dimensional structures of proteins implicated in various diseases, against which Eli Lilly is designing drugs. This design process is known as structure-based drug design, because it relies on seeing how a potential drug binds to the protein drug target at the atomic scale and improving the potency and selectivity of the drug based on its specific interactions with the protein. With the acquisition of SGX, Eli Lilly is now a leader in structure-based drug design, as well as fragment-based drug design, which is essentially a form of nanoengineering to design drugs starting from small fragments (instead of using high-throughput screening of large libraries of large, complex drug-like molecules). In addition to doing protein engineering to support proprietary drug discovery, Dr. Sauder also designed protein boundaries that resulted in the deposition of hundreds of protein three-dimensional structures in the public Protein Data Bank as part of his work with the NYSGXRC through the Protein Structure Initiative. Dr. Sauder also manages the Bioinformatics group, who maintains and develops the custom LIMS database, which is used to track all the research done by the San Diego Structural Biology group, both for Eli Lilly and for the NYSGXRC.

This proposal funds the acquisition of a 500 MHz NMR spectrometer with a triple resonance probe. To maximize utility across a multidisciplinary user base, the instrument will be equipped with an autosampler and will be networked to the broader campus community. The new spectrometer will serve to meet the routine need for high resolution NMR spectrospopy that has become essential to many research groups at UD
The proposed instrument will provide benefit to a large user base of NIH supported researchers that spans the areas of organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, biochemistry, materials science, physics and biological sciences. Projects to be facilitated by this grant will have impact on the nation's health interests in drug discovery, radiochemical imaging, cancer therapy, tissue regeneration and drug delivery. Eight faculty members (Joe Fox, John Koh, Charles Riordan, Xinqiao Jia, Kristi Kiick, Doug Taber, Thomas Epps, Neal Zondlo) contributed research descriptions to strengthen the grant application. Beyond the major user group, the 500 MHz NMR spectrometer will also support the research efforts of more than 20 additional faculty members at UD. This instrumentation will also provide substantive to support several major NIH initiatives centered at the University of Delaware, including a Chemistry Biology Interface (CBI) Program, two Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE), the Delaware IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE), and a Center for Translational Cancer Research.
This proposal was prepared by Joe Fox (PI) and Dr. Steve Bai, Director of the UD NMR facility.
Our 15th CHEM/BIOC Graduation Convocation was consummated this past Saturday, May 29th 2010, to the pleasure and satisfaction of all concerned. Indeed, the feeling of unbridled joy oozing from the pores of the extended family members present has to be experienced personally, to be truly appreciated.
Special commendation goes to our speaker, Dr. Michelle Hackley Johnson (UD BA/CHEM '75), Chief of Interventional Neuroradiology at the Yale University School of Medicine, whose remarks were meaningful, moving, and right on target. I will always treasure the moment we recognized the presence of her mother, Ethel, widow of Dr. Brennie Hackley, Jr. (UD Ph.D. '57). The remarkable 57-year career of Dr. Hackley, our first African American chemistry Ph.D. graduate, at the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center of the U.S. Army's Aberdeen Proving Grounds will be forever memorialized in the form of the Brennie E. Hackley, Jr. Award for Excellence in Research, generously endowed by the Hackley family. It was fitting that the first recipient of this Award, Juan Carlos Rodriguez-Reyes, received his doctorate during the ceremony. Completing the noteworthy use of the numbers 5 and 7 is the fact that Ethel (who is also a chemist) and Brennie were married 57 years!
The turnout by the graduating graduate student contingent, 19 strong, set an all-time record for the occasion. Forty-one of the 51 baccalaureate degree recipients (18 BS/BIOC, 20 BS/CHEM, 13 BA/CHEM) participated.
Finally, the Unsung Heroine Award goes to Debbie Fox, who provided the on-site reception presence usually provided by Susan Cheadle, who was celebrating the graduation of her daughter, Kerry, from the U of D. Debbie and John were faced with the formidable class of post-reception clean-up, which they handled admirably.
Let's do it again on May 28, 2011!
Appreciation is also due to the several among you who made this possible:
Susan Cheadle, who, as usual, arranged for the reception and flowers.
Burnaby Munson and Hal White, who proved , for the 15th time, that practice makes for perfect Marshalling.
Svilen Bobev, Murray Johnston, Sandeep Patel, and Zhihao Zhuang, who successfully ushered the flow of humanity into Pearson Auditorium.
Brian Bahnson, Roberta Colman, Joe Fox, Charlie Riordan, and Andrew Teplyakov, who, in the reenactment of the hooding of their doctoral students, made the day extra special for them and their families.
Cecil Dybowski, for his robed presence.
Doug Taber, for helping with the reception set-up.
Klaus Theopold, for his especially relevant closing remarks.

That the Program is already bearing considerable fruit is evident in the fact that ALL SEVEN U of D presenters at the 73rd Intercollegiate Student Chemists Convention, held at Franklin and Marshall College on April 18th were Plastino Alumni Undergraduate Research Fellows: Douglas Desario (BS/CHEM/09), James Lansing (BS/CHEM/09), Kristin Nuzzio (BS/CHEM/09), Michael Pirnot (BS/CHEM/09), Stephen Tereniak (BS/CHEM/09), Nicholas Zeringo (BS/BIOC/09), and Steven Zucker (BS/CHEM/09). Mr. Tereniak also presented the results of his work with Prof. Charles Riordan at this year's Alumni Undergraduate Research Fellows dinner.
Assistant professor, Svilen Bobev, has been named the awardee of the 2009 ExxonMobil Solid State Chemistry Fellowship in Inorganic Chemistry by the ACS. Prof. Bobev's research is studying the relationship between composition, structure and electronic structure in complex intermetallic compounds. He will receive his award at the fall ACS national meeting in Washington DC. The solid state chemistry fellowship recognizes young scientists who have made substantial contributions to the discipline of solid-state chemistry and have the potential to emerge as leaders in the field.
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is pleased to announce that it as been successful in attracting two new faculty members to the Department. Drs. Mary Watson (Ph. D. UC Irvine, currently a postdoc at Harvard) and Don Watson (Ph. D. UC Irvine, currently a postdoc at MIT) will join the Department this fall as Assistant Professors in Organic Chemistry.
Mary Watson's research program is centered on the discovery of new catalytic, stereoselective methods for organic synthesis by utilizing the power of both transition metal and Bronsted acid catalysts. Her research will focus on selective activation and functionalization of relatively strong bonds; enantioselective transition metal-catalyzed preparation of chiral alkylboranes and alkylsilanes; and the development of new chiral Bronsted acid catalysts to promote reactions of unactivated alkenes. These methods will allow greater efficiency and novel bond constructions in the synthesis of stereochemically complex molecules, with applications that extend to natural products synthesis, drug discovery and process chemistry. The development of these methods will also provide a platform for mechanistic investigations, which will enable insights into questions of fundamental reactivity and catalyst design.
Don Watson's research program is broadly focused on the development of transition metal catalysts for
The 73rd Intercollegiate Student Chemists Convention (the oldest meeting of its kind in the US) was held at Franklin and Marshall College, in Lancaster, PA, on Saturday, April 18, 2009.

Awards for best presentations were received by Douglas Desario (First Place, Analytical Division), Michael Pirnot (Second Place, Organic II Division), and Nicholas Zeringo (Second Place, Physical Division).
A total of 47 papers were presented by students from 14 colleges and universities in PA, NJ, MD, and DE. Since its inception, in 1936, more ISCC awards (94) have been won by U of D students than any other of the 62 participating schools.
The 2010 ISCC will be held at the University of Delaware on April 24, 2010 - the 8th time that we will have hosted the meeting (also more than any other school).
On a more personal note, F&M is my alma mater, and 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of my graduation. I had not seen the campus since the last ISCC held there in 1992. They're still called the Diplomats ("Dips", for short), but little else remained unchanged. Even my old fraternity house, Phi Kappa Sigma, looked rather spiffy, although the walk down James Street seemed to be a lot longer than I remembered it to be. I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with their (relatively) new President, John Fry, who was a colleague of President Harker's at UPenn. Finally, a more perfect spring day could not have been imagined!
The 43rd annual Glenn S. Skinner Memorial Award was presented to Radhika Nagarkar on April 6, 2009 at the Wriston Memorial Lecture. Ms. Nagarkar's research advisor is Professor Joel Schneider. This award, in honor of Dr. Skinner, is presented for distinction in scholarship, research, teaching and service by a graduate student in the Department. Dr. Skinner was a very active member of the Chemistry faculty from 1928 to 1958. As a recipient of this award, Ms. Nagarkar received a certificate and a check for $2,500.00.
The 27th annual Elizabeth Dyer Excellence in Teaching Awards were presented to four outstanding Chemistry and Biochemistry graduate student teaching assistants at the departmental graduate recruitment seminar on March 6, 2009. The graduate students honored were Brad Bauer, David Gerstenhaber, Bayrammurad Saparov and Xiaochun Zhang. Brad received his bachelor's degree from Desales University and is currently working on his doctorate in the laboratory of Professor Sandeep Patel. Brad served as a TA in CHEM-445, Physical Chemistry, during the fall of 2007. David received his bachelor's degree from the University of New Hampshire and is currently working on his doctorate in the laboratory of Professor Douglass Taber. David served as a TA in CHEM-333, Organic Chemistry, during the fall of 2007 and CHEM-334, Organic Chemistry, during the spring of 2008.
For the twentieth consecutive year, the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has celebrated the birthday of J. Willard Gibbs, in recognition of the American scientist and scholar who, in the late 19th century, presented a unified interpretation of thermodynamics that is the basis for the way the subject is taught in chemistry programs around the world.
Gibbs, born February 11, 1839, was – at the time of his death in 1903 – one of the pre-eminent American physical scientists. Because of his reserved personality, his fame was restricted to the handful of scholars who were studying similar subjects. Over the years, as his methods became more widely known, his stature as an icon of American science grew until today he is recognized as a true genius who made major contributions to a number of different fields.
Because of his extensive contributions to physical chemistry, the Division of Physical Chemistry

Instead of bragging of his achievements, Vinny came back to his Catty teammates eager to impart his new-found knowledge on his teammates.
"I just try to be one of the guys, not think I'm better than anybody else," he said.
That's something else he learned from his dad.
"I try to instill in all my kids that they should try to improve and not think `I'm good, I don't have to work anymore,'" the father said. "A lot of kids do that."

Landscape, Agriculture, Natural Designer - Linden L.A.N.D. Group
Since graduating in May 2009 with a degree in Community and International Development, I have gone on to pursue a Certificate in Sustainable Building and Design from Yestermorrow Design/Build School, in Warren, VT. While at Yestermorrow I concentrated on alternatives to waste water and storm water management. I am currently in the process of working on my practicum project in order to successfully complete my certificate program. In March 2010 I landed a job with a small Landscape Design/Build firm out of Addison, VT, Linden Landscaping and Design. Over the past season, along with the firm's principals, Tim and Rebecca Lindenmeyr, we have implemented a new business structure for the company highlighting a more holistic approach to the services offered, and with that, changed the name to The Linden L.A.N.D Group (Landscape, Agriculture and Natural Design). We hope to feed around eight families this Summer and upcoming Winter with a work-trade homestead farm CSA to provide veggies and meat for each shareholder, while also keeping up with the landscape design work that the firm is previously known for.

Boris Johnson's letter to New York in full
Dear Michael
As both a fellow New Yorker and a proud Londoner I am deeply saddened to see your great city under such pressure from Hurricane Sandy. I am hugely encouraged by your response, that of public employees of NYC and indeed the response of emergency services and the American people up and down the east coast.
Rest assured the people of London stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of New York at what is clearly an immensely difficult and challenging time.
As ever, with all best wishes

I tought I taw a wainbow bird! I did! I did! I taw a wainbow bird!! ;)
Hi Josephine!
Friend brought over a nice helping of home made ham chowder. Good stuff.
Good morning, Leaky! I hope everyone is surviving the cold.
Two more weeks until classes start for me. But lots to do in this next week, so I haven't even started on my syllabi for next term. I don't know why, but it ALWAYS amazes me how quickly break goes – even when I have 4 or 5 weeks without classes. Alas.
Tomorrow I get to give one of my favorite kind of talks – I'm doing a guest lecture on science and evolution to a Bible study group. I did a talk like this (but with more emphasis on the controversy of teaching evolution and intelligent design in the US) a few years ago, and it was great. This time I'll probably talk about about the evolution of the brain – which I know very little about, so I guess I'll need to a little background reading. ;)
Then on Thursday it's off to Texas for a summit on undergraduate education in my field. Busy busy. But at least it's all things that look good on my tenure file!
So far so good. Only -23 windchill this morning. I am so glad I live south of the cut off line for the weather. I have Louisville weather and at the cut off is Indianapolis weather. When driving north in winter, you can actually see the difference in the weather at the cut off.
I need to get back to my chair. I am getting cold sitting here. I have not turned up the heat even though it is considerable colder than normal. I do have on long johns underneath my clothing to stay warm. This keeps me from freezing when I go downstairs to let the dogs out.
Second day of extended vacation. It's still very cold outside. I am huddled under the covers and talking to all my family on Facebook.
We are all probably going back to work tomorrow. Sigh. :(
My MIL has dialysis today but the DS has taken today off to take her. It is frigidly coldddd. :(
I am not venturing outside. :(
It must be a little warmer outside. My storm door will now fasten so it does not swing open. For the last couple of days it would not stay fasten shut. They are saying on the news to conserve electric. I already conserve electric so my electric bill will not be so high.
I need to cook something for lunch. They are saying use microwave instead of stove to cook. I have ate everything I cooked over weekend so need to cook something new.
It is hard to believe that it will be warmer by the weekend.
There is an up coming velveeta shortage. How will I ever survive it. Oh the horror!
Haha, ironsos, I heard about that on the radio this afternoon!
Oh, you mean that yellow plastic stuff that passes for cheese? You should be on your knees giving thanks, lol.
I went to the doctor this afternoon and came away with statins and a top up of my Atenolol, 2 tablets instead of one. My blood pressure is higher than it should be and my cholesterol is up a point:(
Graymayne The plastic that passes for cheese is American cheese a "cheese food" product and has no cheese curd at all. Velveeta actually has cheese curds in it. It is labeled as a "pasteurized process cheese product". ;)
Ironsos I bought a 2 pound block of Velveeta last week. I really need to make it into dip soon. I have my rotel, I just need to find the time. ;)
It was 21 F (-6.11 C) when I parked this morning. I will be leaving shortly after noon to go get my eyes examined. ;)
It says it is 16 degrees out now. I don't know. I had to take the trash out for trash day. It was really cold but I could not see my breath. That was so strange for how cold it was.
Now I have forgotten what I was going to say. I did learn that my granddaughter was a senior in college. For some reason I thought she was a junior. I think she still has 4 or 6 more years to go since she is going to be a vet. Strange that it takes longer to be a vet than it does to be a human doctor.
CoolG, it's also a lot harder to get into vet school than med school! Good luck to your granddaughter and stay warm!
Good evening!
The rain actually stopped for a few hours today. It was very exciting. And the wind has dropped, so we get a reprieve at least. BUT, at least it has not been cold, and I gather that it is a bit chilly in the US at the moment! The news pictures and reports have been horrific. I do do hope you are all managing to stay warm and safe. xx
LEW, how did your talk go?
Been snowing here all day.
asti, talk is in an hour and 45 minutes. I'm doing a trail run now, but I'm not really sure why – I always give a better talk when I haven't practiced. I guess because I know it's WAY too long.
Dr. Lew: Always good to practice so you do not anything out.
Just read my post. I wish I was doing a TRAIL run….I hate running on a treadmill!
Good evening!
The sun shone today! All the fields are still under water though. AND……….when I left work it was still light! No streetlights on, really properly still daylight.
Is the end in sight for your horrid weather?
Sorry to be early, LEW! So, how did it go?! And lol, Ironsos!
Can I ask for positive toughts for tomorrow please? Son has his yearly check up on his feet. While I am not worried, I am not entirely sure what happens after tomorrow. He is 17. He is not going be a "paediatric outpatient" this time next year. I suspect he may be officially discharged, and told to go to his Doctor for referral if he has any concerns……..
Dr. Lew My Granddaughter had to apply for a grant in order to work as a vet assistant in a museum. The grant was so she could get paid while working. She did get it so I guess that was really good. She came in from NC right before the blizzard or whatever it was. The trouble was she went to …..old the town where Purdue University is which is up north instead of south. She usually comes to visit me but the storm prevented it. By the time she could have drove where I live, it was time for her to fly back. Thank goodness for skype. Oh I think she has already been accepted into the vet program for either this summer or next fall.I just don't know if it is where she goes now or another university.
Asti Nice your weather has cleared up for awhile. I think it is suppose to have snow showers here after awhile. At least the temperature is rising so it can snow.
Jennifer came by yesterday to visit for awhile. I heated up my beans and corn bread and we had a feast. At least she loves beans and corn bread. My other daughters will eat it too but not as often as I or Jennifer do.
Another snowy day here. They say we have had 7" (17.7cm) since yesterday morning. Snow still
coming down at a good pace. Temp. is still nice though, just a bit above freezing.
We've had a technical break through: my laptop became unrepairable about a year ago and I felt that there might be something useful in my pictures and my documents. A few weeks ago my DS accidentally erased a big folder of photos featuring butterflies and bees and we were both upset by this to the extent that we sought our son's advice when I thought that my laptop might have a copy of the lost folder. The upshot of our enquiry is, the laptop hard-drive is currently sitting in a caddy connected to the PC by USB cable and its contents are available for scrutiny. Sadly, no butterflies, but there are some good shots of dragonflies.
This morning my DS was out with his camera photographing some flooding on the main road which passes our village. We had quite a determined downpour last night around midnight and the fields just couldn't take any more, so the water ran off into the road.
My computer is home.
ASTI, best wishes on the appointment today. I will pray whatever course you are put on is for the best.
I substituted for a baseball coach yesterday and am returning to substitute for the same teacher today. It was very strange. He teaches one academic class in the first morning block. Then, he teaches a gym class. After that he has his planning period and then goes off to coach baseball. His classroom is an enormous closet off the band room. It had a desk with a computer and the rest of the room held oversize band instruments and stacks of upright chairs, no student desks. There was an exterior exit and it was very cold. Someone came and moved us to another oversize room off the band room with and exterior exit that was set up as a small orchestra. It also was used as storage for oversize band equipment. There was no teacher's desk. Happily, it was warmer than the first room. Next I moved to the gymnasium where the class sat on the bleachers for the next 1.5 hours. This is the first week back from Christmas and their gym uniforms have not arrived. Then, I went to lunch and sat in the teacher's lounge during his planning period until the school secretary released me to leave during his fourth block as she could find nothing else for me to do.
Yesterday I was given an enormous substitute file filled with piles of activity sheets/puzzles, etc. appropriate to the subject taught. During the 1.5 hours I was with them some of the students worked their way through all but two activity sheets. Most of them worked their way through over half of them. Very quickly this morning I will run out of work for them. I'm sure the teacher thought he had a plentiful supply of busy work for his class. He did not take into account many of them would decide to play a game, create a competition of how quickly they could complete the worksheets, hand them into me and acquire another sheet. So, instead of a lethargic group of students faced with a substitute teacher I had a classroom of students working in a frenzy to complete the available work.
I am glad it is Friday. I did not work the first three days this week. I was buried under appointments for my father and parents which made it impossible for me to accept a teaching position. Going to work was actually a break from all the various appointments and responsibilities.
Yep! frequently I find that returning to the routine of work is a rest from the too-much frenzy of a vacation. Even though it is 12 hours between the alarm and my return home, knowing how and where I will be spending most of that time eliminates being available to run errands at a moments notice.
I don't know why people, even people who have stayed home and tended a home, assume that you sit around all day watching TV and eating bonbons. Housework can kill you. ;)
Deanie I don't know what I would do if I did not read. I do work puzzels sometimes but I find they interfer with my reading. Right now it has been too cold to do much inside or outside. The only thing outside I have done is move my trashcan to the road to be emptied and go to the mailbox. I get my exercise by going up and down the stairs to let the dogs in and out. Right now they are laying around the room uterly exhausted themselves.
Graymayne Good to figure out how to get info off a harddrive to not lose the info. Too bad it did not have what you were looking for it on it.
I have a beef roast on cooking. I think I will just put carrots to cook with it. I will make the potatoes seperate because I want to make other things to eat with the roast.
Lady Hawke I have just finished reading Longbourn. I wonder how the author hit on those particular years. Jane Austin very carefully did not give year dates or mention any particular enemy.
I looked it up and Britain was involved in some war or other continuously from 1800 through 1920-something. Yes the years selected were extremely violent and the action in Portugal and Spain was particularly dicey, but still….
Which leads to the Jane Austin comment in P&P of Wickham & Lydia that "the restoration of peace dismissed them to a home", What peace? The end of the Napoleonic Wars? Some other war? All of the wars in the 1800's overlapped at least one other on both ends. ;)
It was a good read, though. I am glad you mentioned it again. It had slipped my mind and I did want to read it when you first mentioned it. ;)
6.5 hours here and only 400 calls. I have almost fallen asleep at least twice. So, I took a 5 hour Energy drink about a half hour ago and it seems to be kicking in. Finally. ;)
Gotta run to the credit Union. The bill for the trip to Florida has come in and I need to shift some money around. ;)
P & P was published in 1813, in the midst of the Napoleonic wars. The war involving Spain and Portugal with the French as the enemy was the Penisular War which ran from 1807 to 1814. Although there were other overlapping conflicts maybe you might have been sent home when the conflict in which you were involved came to an end. The story of LONGBOURN does extend past the conclusion of P & P.
I have some lamb shanks I grabbed off the sale rack to cook for dinner tonight. I'm not sure what we are having with them.
I was able to leave my position today at 2 PM, just as I did yesterday. So, I can get a head start on dinner.
Good evening!
The hospital went well. The consultant wants to see son one more time, then it seems he will be referred to an adult department, under another consultant, just to keep him in the loop and on the books, so to speak.
The consultant got quite animated when he was talking about possible future developments and research in orthopaedic surgery, and what it might mean for son in 20 or 30 years time. Even without exciting future technology, should son start suffering problems, there are still things they can do now to help, which is good to know.
As things stand, there is no need for any surgery or intervention.
Lady Hawke, I am hoping lamb shanks will be on offer soon. I have a recipe I am desperate to try. It's a sort of slow cooked lamb shank curry, heavy on the coconut milk and cardamon and garam masala.
Lady Hawke and Deanie, I didn't pay much attention to which war, or the dates, I'm afraid. To me, that was incedental to the story, although obviously a huge part of the life of one of the characters…..trying to avoid spoilers, lol! It did make me smile everytime there was a direct quote from P and P, and I liked that it was carried on after the end of the original. I thought she kept the intrinsic characteristics very well, and I liked Elizabeth's vulnerability in her new life. She reinforced the humanity. Her own character's story was never overwhelmed by P and P, she balanced it well as a story in it's own right, and an homage.
ASTI, I wish I had your recipe. I just put my lamb shanks in the oven but if you had already arrived I might have stolen your. I think I have the ingredients you mentioned on hand.
Oh!!! I'm so glad you had good news at your son's consultation.

The National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee began sending recorded telephone messages Wednesday into the districts of four North Carolina Democratic congressmen, criticizing them for their votes on the payroll tax cut.
The robo calls went into the districts of four Democrats targeted for defeat next year: Brad Miller of Raleigh, Mike McIntyre of Lumberton, Larry Kissell of Troy and Heath Shuler of Bryson City.
"If you're as fed up with Congress as everyone else is, wait till you hear what your Congressman Mike McIntyre did," said one recording. "Not only did McIntyre vote last week to pave the way for a tax increase for you and every other American middle-class family, but he is now stubbornly standing by his position that could raise your taxes by over a thousand dollars starting Jan. 1."
Andrew Whalen, spokesman for the Blue Dog Democrat PAC, noted that the four Democrats are being attacked for voting the same way as the Senate Republicans.
"The National Republican Congressional Committee will begin bombarding homes with robo-calls, just days before Christmas and on the second day of Hanukkah, peddling their dishonest spin about why millions of America's working families are facing a tax increase beginning January 1st," Whalen wrote in a memo to reporters. "Blue Dogs stand with the overwhelming bipartisan majority of the U.S. Senate ready to protect working families from a tax increase. House Republicans, their Tea Party freshmen and commitment to ideology rather than American families are to blame for this looming tax increase."
Whalen said the calls are also going into districts of Reps. Jason Altmire of Pennsylvania, Ben Chandler of Kentucky, Jim Costa of California and Collin Peterson of Minnesota.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Monday began running robo calls in the district of Republican Rep. Renee Ellmers of Dunn.
Coble in Greensboro hospital
N.C. Republican Congressman Howard Coble was moved Wednesday by medical transport from a hospital in Washington to a hospital in Greensboro, where he will continue to recover from an upper respiratory illness.
Coble, 80, has spent eight days at Washington University Hospital because of depleted sodium levels associated with the respiratory problem. He was expected to be hospitalized for only a few days, but he was too weak to be released sooner, his office reported.
Coble is headed to Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro for continued treatment.
"The physicians at George Washington University Hospital told his family and our office that Rep. Coble is making steady progress in recovering from a severe upper respiratory infection," Chief of Staff Ed McDonald said in a statement. "At Moses Cone, doctors will monitor Congressman Coble's sodium treatment while he begins a physical therapy program."
Carney ready for revolution
Chris Carney, the mayor pro tem of Mooresville, has been sworn in as the newest member of the N.C. Senate. He takes the District 41 seat held by the late Jim Forrester. Both are Republicans.
Carney, 40, is a small business owner who has served more than five years on the Mooresville Board of Commissioners.
He said his first act would be to vote to override Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue's veto of the Racial Justice Act repeal when the legislature returns Jan. 4 for a special session.
The Racial Justice Act is "a flawed law," Carney told the Statesville Record and Landmark. "And any time you have the opportunity to fix something that is flawed, I think that's a good thing."
Carney said a kind of revolution is taking place in the state legislature, and he is glad to be part of it.
"I think this is the start of a decade of young, conservative professionals in Raleigh," he told the Statesville paper. "We have a chance to take North Carolina to the next level, and it's just really exciting."
Senate leader Phil Berger welcomed Carney to the Senate.
"Chris Carney has succeeded in the private sector and as a public servant," he said, "and I'm confident he will represent his constituents well as a state senator."

Department of Translation Studies, University of Tampere
Income inequality in the United States is on the rise. The rich are getting better at passing their advantages on to their kids. Lifestyle and values gaps are widening between the educated and uneducated. The big issue [as the new Democrat-controlled Congress begins its 2007 legislative agenda] is: Will Americans demand new policies to reverse these trends to redistribute wealth, to provide greater economic security? Is the country about to see a mass populist movement?

Huskers hit midway point in preparations for Buckeyes
The Nebraska football team practiced for just over two hours on Wednesday on the Ed and Joyanne Gass practice fields in preparation for its Big Ten road showdown against the Ohio State Buckeyes.
The Husker defense will have their work cut out for them against dual-threat quarterback Braxton Miller from Ohio State. Linebackers coach Ross Els and the rest of the NU defense preparing for Miller's running threat he poses on defenses. "He runs like a running back." Els said, "He is a really good quarterback though."
Els also talked about how he really enjoyed seeing multiple linebackers step up against the Badgers last Saturday night, including senior linebacker Sean Fisher. "I think Sean finally got to see his kind of offense." Els said, "If you look at that fourth and one play at the end, Sean was the one they were trying to isolate and he went up and plugged the whole to stop the play."
One thing that has been a high point for the Huskers is the relationship between running backs Rex Burkhead and Ameer Abdullah. The duo has combined for 759 yards rushing and eight touchdowns. Running backs coach Ron Brown really likes how they have built a solid relationship on and off the field, "Those two guys are like a magnetic force that attracts to one and another." Brown said, "They have that competitive, I want to excel kind of mentality."
Check back here on Huskers.com for updates throughout the week as the Nebraska football team prepares for its conference showdown Saturday against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Kickoff between the Huskers and Buckeyes in Columbus is set for 7 p.m. (central).

The top high school basketball player in the country, Andrew Wiggins, will soon decide whether to reclassify to the Class of 2013 or stay in the Class of 2014. If Wiggins reclassifies, he will be eligible to play in college next season and enter the 2014 NBA Draft.
Wiggins, a 6'8 forward from Huntington Prep, has said he does not want to make any decisions without talking to his parents. It is expected that his parents will come down from Wiggins' hometown of Toronto, Canada, either this week or next to help him make his final decision.
Although several teams are interested in the talented forward, the Kentucky Wildcats and Florida State Seminoles have been the leaders in his recruitment. Wiggins' parents, former NBA player Mitchell Wiggins and Olympic medalist Marita Payne, both attended Florida State. Both John Calipari and and Leonard Hamilton have visited with Wiggins in the past week.

Kanun is a centuries-old code of revenge and honor in Albania and dictates the lives of many people. Thousands can no longer leave their houses because they are too scared of the men seeking revenge. They risk death as soon as they step over the threshold. Others flee their homes. They are the hunted and don?t know when that fatal bullet will hit them. The sons are also potential targets, such as 14-year-old Christian. Twelve years ago his father and his uncle committed a murder. Since then Christian has been hiding in a room that's become his prison. The Kanun code is relentless.

Monetary policy and country risk
AbstractThis article develops an econometric model in order to study country risk behavior forsix emerging economies (Argentina, Mexico, Russia, Thailand, Korea and Indonesia),by expanding the Country Beta Risk Model of Harvey and Zhou (1993), Erb et. al.(1996a, 1996b) and Gangemi et. al. (2000). Toward this end, we have analyzed theimpact of macroeconomic variables, especially monetary policy, upon country risk,by way of a time varying parameter approach. The results indicate an inefficient andunstable effect of monetary policy upon country risk in periods of crisis. However, thiseffect is stable in other periods, and the Favero-Giavazzi effect is not verified for alleconomies, with an opposite effect being observed in many cases.

Foundry Networks (Nasdaq: FDRY) has obtained a dismissal, with prejudice, of the securities class action against the company in the N.D. of Cal. The case was originally filed in January 2001.
Securities Litigation Watch reports that it was the fifth amended complaint in the case and "the Court found that plaintiffs had, at most, alleged facts giving rise to a 'reasonable inference' (rather than the required 'strong inference') that defendants knew the challenged statements were false when made."

The "Blog Mob" revisited

New Criterion
Editor' Note: This essay is the second installment of a series on the challenges posed by the digital revolution to the world of culture. We are delighted to acknowledge that the Hertog/Simon Fund for Policy Analysis provided critical support for this series.
Sometime in 2006, freshly graduated from college and newly employed as a junior editor at The Wall Street Journal, I decided it would be a good idea to publish my musings about the Internet. The op-ed quoted Joseph Conrad to the effect that newspapers are "written by fools to be read by imbeciles" and suggested that blogs are the new newspapers. It turns out that people do not like to be called imbeciles, bloggers in general and imbecile bloggers in particular.
The piece, which carried the headline "The Blog Mob," was a sensation, a controversy, and, finally, a mistake. It is worth recalling not because it has muc ...
