|Research Starter Grants
|Pharmacology/Toxicology > Research Starter Grant
The purpose of the PhRMA Foundation Research Starter Grants is to offer financial support to individuals beginning their independent research careers at the faculty level. The areas of interest within this program are research efforts in the fields of pharmacology and drug toxicology. The program provides a research grant of $100,000 for one year.
Research projects that extend or develop the proprietary value of specific drug products are not acceptable in this program. This exclusion does not preclude research in which specific drug products are used to test hypotheses that have a general applicability.
In the field of pharmacology or toxicology, highest priority will be given to applications for research that attempts to integrate information on the mechanism of action of a drug or chemical at a molecular or cellular level with the drug's effects in the intact laboratory animal or human, encompassing the potential influences of biochemical, physiological or behavioral systems.
The "starter" aspect of the program strives to assist those individuals who are establishing careers as independent investigators in the fields listed above. The program is not offered as a means to augment an ongoing research effort. The funds are to be used to conduct the proposed research. This program supports individuals beginning independent research careers in academia who do not have other substantial sources of research funding. Applicants will be judged on the scientific merit of the proposed research, and on the degree of financial need.
This program is not offered as a means to augment substantially funded research efforts. It is intended to offer support for researchers who are starting their independent research efforts.
The funds have limited restrictions - a characteristic of the program. In an effort to gain the maximum usefulness, some guidelines are in order. The funds may not be used for salary support of the grantee, but may be used to support technical assistance. The support of technical assistance may include the hourly wages of a technician; however the funds may not be used to provide fringe benefits or indirect costs for the technician. No more than $1,500 a year may be used for travel to professional meetings by the grantee. Indirect costs are not provided to the institution, and grant funds may not be used for this purpose.
Those holding the academic rank of instructor or assistant professor and investigators at the doctoral level with equivalent positions are eligible to apply for these research starter grants, providing their proposed research is neither directly nor indirectly subsidized to any significant degree by a competitive extramural grant. Applicants must be in a tenure track position for 3 years or less. The program is not intended for those in postdoctoral training programs. However, individuals in postdoctoral training scheduled to conclude and who will hold an academic appointment by January 1, 2015 may apply. Applicants must be sponsored by the department or unit in which the proposed research is to be undertaken. The sponsoring unit must have responsibility for pharmacology/toxicology teaching and research as part of its core mission. If the pharmacology/toxicology mission is not apparent on the sponsoring unit's web site, the sponsor letter must describe how the academic appointment will support the applicant's career development in pharmacology/toxicology. The grant is made to the university on behalf of the applicant, with the understanding that the university will administer the funds. Schools of medicine (human or veterinary), pharmacy and dentistry are eligible for this award.
Applications must be submitted by an accredited U.S. school, and all applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Applications are to be submitted via the Foundation website and received by September 1, 2014. Applications will not be accepted after the deadline date.
Applicants holding multi-year national competitive awards or grants supporting their independent research will not be considered. If a national competitive grant is obtained after the application has been submitted, the Foundation must be so informed.
Before an individual is eligible to apply for a PhRMA Foundation award, the applicant must first have a firm commitment from a university in the U.S.
These grants will begin on January 1, 2015 for a period of 1 year.

Story Retrieval Date: 12/18/2014 6:35:25 PM CST
Major League Soccer star Diego Gutierrez used to think nets were just for catching shots. Now he knows: They can also save lives.
The Chicago Fire's former star midfielder became an advocate for Nothing But Nets, a grassroots organization of the United Nations Foundation, after hearing about their mission from a friend. The organization seeks to prevent malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa, by providing mosquito nets to refugee camps throughout the continent.
Close relationships with major league sports have kept Nets' donations rolling in since the organization's creation in 2006. Gutierrez used his powerful platform to raise the issue in this city and, eventually, his league. From there, a partnership formed between the UN and MLS' charitable organization MLS W.O.R.K.S.
"It's a good example of the power of individuals through this campaign," said Adrianna Logalbo, Nothing But Nets' director of partnership alliances.
In fact, Logalbo said the organization got its start thanks entirely to one very popular name in sports.
Sports writer Rick Reilly wrote that he was astounded when he heard that 3,000 children in Africa die every day from malaria. He was even more surprised to hear how easily he himself could help prevent the disease.
So, he took action through his widely read Sports Illustrated column. In May 2006, he entreated his far-reaching fan base to send $10 each to the United Nations Foundation. The donations were to pay for the purchase and distribution of bed nets, which can reduce transmission of malaria by up to 90 percent in some cases. He reached out to his audience by comparing the situation in Africa to one on their own soil.
"Three thousand kids!" he wrote. "That's a 9/11 every day!"
Within weeks, Logalbo said, several million dollars found their way to the UN's doorstep. And just like that, Nothing But Nets was born.
"The impact of a simple bed net is incredible," Logalbo said. "Once [Reilly] learned it was so simple to prevent malaria, that's when he got the idea to ask his readers."
Bringing simplicity to a complex issue like malaria is the key to Nets' success, said Logalbo. So are powerful partnerships with sports stars like Reilly and Gutierrez.
Logalbo credits her organization's partners, like the MLS, for getting their message out to so many contributors.
"These leagues and teams are actually reaching out to whole groups of people that we might never have reached otherwise," Logalbo said.
Nets officials have seen a decrease in the average amount donated as the country's economic crisis deepens, but they say the difference is offset by an increase in the number of donors.
"I think we're in a good situation," Logalbo said. "It is such a simple, tangible solution and a low enough price point that people can still get involved and have an impact with just $10, so we really haven't felt the [negative] impact."
Each $10 donation covers the production and delivery of one bed net, along with education about its use for the recipient. Overhead costs for the nonprofit are covered entirely by private funding, so public donations pay for, well, nothing but nets.
Logalbo said she saw firsthand what a difference a net makes on a recent delivery mission to Kenya. Along with fellow UN representatives and volunteers, she visited one of the largest refugee camps in the world. People at these camps, she said, are particularly vulnerable to dying from the disease because of poor living conditions and weakened immune systems.
On occasion, the UN Foundation's partners travel to Africa, too, and that includes Gutierrez. He traveled with fellow MLS players to Mali in December 2007.
"The players come back just as incredibly strong advocates," Logalbo said. "The Fire has been one of our best supporters."
Though Gutierrez recently retired, his team maintains a strong commitment to the cause. Part of that outreach in the 2009 season will come from a text-to-give program, where soccer fans can donate through their cell phones, directly from the stands of Toyota Park. The Fire and other Nets' partners will also reach out to the Chicago on World Malaria Day next month, to raise both funds and awareness.
But outreach to Chicago doesn't stop there; the organization has also partnered with Chicago Public Schools and has the backing of Gov. Pat Quinn. It's all part of Nets' ultimate mission: to provide nets for each and every bed at all the refugee camps throughout Africa.
"Refugees come to a different place with whatever they can carry and, hopefully, their family, and they're given maybe a plot of land, a sleeping mat, some kitchen supplies and a water jug," Logalbo said. "They really have so little."
"It's really hard to imagine when you don't get to see it first hand, but the impact of a simple bed net is incredible."

Webster Dictionary
to mark a line below, as words; to underscore
to influence secretly
An underline, also called an underscore, is one or more horizontal lines immediately below a portion of writing. Single, and occasionally double, underlining was originally used in hand-written or typewritten documents to emphasise text. In a manuscript to be typeset, various forms of underlining were conventionally used to indicate that text should be set in a special typeface such as italics to show emphasis, part of a procedure known as markup. With the advent of word processing, different typefaces can be used in the manuscript directly, so that underlining is no longer needed for markup; but underlining is sometimes used in documents in its own right. Underlines are sometimes used as a diacritic, to indicate that a letter has a different pronunciation to its non-underlined form.

For Google's Next Trick, The Company Attempts to Save 3,000 Dying Languages
While projects like self-driving cars and augmented reality glasses remain fixated on the future, Google's latest experiment is more concerned with preserving our offline past.
On its blog this morning, the company introduced an alliance with scholars and linguists for a website called Endangered Languages Project where users can search, share, and store information about the 3,000 languages "on verge of extinction," i.e roughly half the languages in the world. Of course as TechCrunch points out, Google is partly to blame for making English the default language of the Internet. Consider this an atonement? Read More

Summitville Mine
|Site Type: Final NPL
City: Del Norte
County: Rio Grande
ZIP Code: 81132
Site Aliases: Summitville Consolidated Mine
Congressional District: 3
What's New?
Updated March 2014
The EPA Emergency Response team conducted an emergency removal action on the Wightman Fork Diversion Rundown Structure at the Summitville Mine Superfund site. This action was necessary after observing erosional damage to the structure after high flood events. The response involved excavating out the existing rundown structure and rebuilding it with a grouted rock structure capable of withstanding spring floods and high precipitation events. Reconstruction of the structure started in September 2012 and it was completed on July 11, 2013.
The Summitville site achieved the site-wide construction completion milestone as documented in the Preliminary Close Out Report signed on September 30, 2013.
In previous decades, the Summitville Mine discharged a large amount of copper and other metals contamination to Wightman Fork and the Alamosa River in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. Now, thanks to the $17 million received from the American Resource and Recovery Act, we built a new water treatment plant to address the discharges. Funds from the act paid for 90 percent of the new water treatment system; the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) provided the remaining 10 percent. A wide range of techniques were used during the site cleanup from the consolidation and capping of mine waste, the containment and treatment of contaminated water, to the innovative use of green technology.
These actions will continue to improve the macro-invertebrate community, the trout population and the water quality in the Alamosa River.
Site Highlights
- EPA's Green Remediation Strategy seeks to reduce the environmental footprint of Superfund cleanups, and the large-scale treatment system at Summitville represented a great opportunity to offset energy use from the grid with a renewable energy source. EPA and the CDPHE seized this opportunity to supplement power needs by installing a micro-hydroelectric turbine at the site. Read more in the Reuse section below.
- The construction projects at Summitville provided more than 100 construction jobs in this area, and the cleanup significantly contributed to improving the water quality and restoring fish and aquatic life to the Alamosa River and Terrace Reservoir.
Site Description
The Summitville Mine site is located 25 miles south of Del Norte, Colorado at an elevation of 11,500 feet above sea level in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. The mine site is situated south of Wightman Fork, a tributary of the Alamosa River, about two miles east of the Continental Divide. Mountain peaks surrounding the mine site range between 12,300 and 12,700 feet elevation. The historic town of Summitville is just to the north of the mine site on the other side of Wightman Fork. The area is traditionally subject to severe winters with heavy snowfall accumulating on steep slopes. Snow may often remain on the ground until late spring or early summer, providing water in quantities sufficient to keep streams, including Wightman Fork, flowing year-round, and acting as a continual source of water entering the soil.
Gold and silver mining began at Summitville around 1870. Large-scale, open-pit mining began at the site in 1984. The mine operator, Summitville Consolidated Mining Corp., Inc. (SCMCI), used cyanide heap leaching to extract precious metals from the ore. In this process, ore excavated from the mountain was crushed and placed onto the clay and synthetic-lined heap leach pad (HLP). A sodium cyanide solution was then applied to leach out gold and silver.
Almost immediately after its construction in 1986, a leak was detected in the HLP. SCMCI abandoned the site and announced it was filing for bankruptcy in December 1992. EPA immediately assumed responsibility of the site as an emergency response. On May 31, 1994 Summitville was placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) of Superfund sites.
Site Risk
|Media Affected
|Source of Contamination
|surface water, groundwater, soil
|copper, cadmium, manganese, zinc, lead, nickel, aluminum, iron
The chemicals of concern are heavy metals (copper, cadmium, manganese, zinc, lead, nickel, aluminum, iron) on site and in the acid mine drainage.
Mining operations deforested and greatly disturbed most of the land area at the site. Because of the highly mineralized character of the site, almost all exposed earthen materials are capable of acid generation. This acid mobilizes the variety of metals that are then discharged and contaminate the Alamosa River system below the site. Surface water quality downstream of the mine has been degraded by low pH (acidic) water and by elevated levels of dissolved solids and heavy metals, especially copper.
Human exposure to these contaminants is limited, since no one lives on-site or within two miles, and site groundwater is not used for drinking. Drinking water wells for San Luis Valley residents living downstream of the site have been sampled on numerous occasions and have never shown elevated metals concentrations associated with the site. In 1997, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) released a public health assessment that classified the Summitville site as having no apparent public health hazard. However, ecological impacts from site contaminants have been considerable, as the Alamosa River system below the site cannot currently support aquatic life. Study is on-going regarding potential adverse effects to agriculture and livestock from regular use of Alamosa River water. Preliminary results have indicated some uptake of metals in livestock and some agricultural soil degradation from irrigation; however, in both cases the effects have not been of a level that affects the viability of local farm products or impacts the food chain.
Cleanup Progress
Since 1992, EPA and CDPHE have initiated several interim projects designed to slow the amount of acid mine drainage coming from the site. These interim projects have included: 1) detoxifying, capping and revegetating the heap leach pad; 2) removing waste rock piles and filling the mine pits; 3) plugging the adits or underground mine entrances; and 4) expanding the water runoff holding ponds and operating a water treatment plant on-site. CDPHE led the largest interim measure to be implemented: site-wide reclamation and revegetation. In addition, CDPHE led the remedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) for the site, beginning in 1998. The RI/FS evaluated the effectiveness of the interim measures that have been completed, or that remain ongoing and determined what final construction projects or long-term measures were necessary for the site. The RI/FS culminated with a site-wide Record of Decision (ROD) issued in the fall of 2001, and ultimately, the construction of a new water treatment system.
Wightman Fork Diversion
The Wightman Fork Diversion (WFD) is a vestige of the early days of Summitville mining. Damming the low axis of the valley to store liquid wastes generated by mine operations disrupted the natural flow of the creek. The WFD then diverted Wightman Fork so it could bypass the contaminated water storage area, preventing commingling of clean water with the stored contaminated water. During the hydrologic basin analysis conducted for the Summitville Mine site, the WFD was determined to be of inadequate size to pass the minimum 100-year precipitation event. In 2007, CDPHE hired a consultant to design an upgrade to the WFD so it could safely hold flows from a 100-year precipitation event, and to route a 500-year precipitation event through the Summitville Dam Impoundment (SDI) spillway channel. Because of the diversion's proximity to the SDI, the state engineer's office reviewed and approved prospective designs.
Following the engineer's office review, a contractor, American Civil Constructors, began construction on the approved design. It involves upgrading the deteriorated and undersized culverts and channel with a combination of channel widening, hard-rock erosion control, sheet pile retaining walls, and emergency overflows from the diversion into the SDI. Most noticeably, workers installed two arched culverts around the SDI, each measuring 10 feet tall, 10 feet wide and 275 feet long.
The WFD has long been a bottleneck for water flows during spring runoff and storm events. This work on the WFD improves a major element of site surface water management. After the 2009 to 2012 spring runoff events, EPA and CDPHE noticed significant erosional damage to the Wightman Fork rundown structure and determined that the structure was inadequate to withstand high flood events. EPA's Emergency Response team mobilized to the site in September 2012 and started to reconstruct a structure designed to convey 100-year rainfall event. Construction was completed in July 2013.
New Aluminum Standards Set for the Alamosa River
CDPHE's Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division proposed changes to the aluminum standards in Alamosa River segments 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D and 8. Because of natural sources, the current acute and chronic numeric standards for aluminum in these segments cannot be met under any circumstance. Natural contributing sources include mineralized terrain in the Stunner, Summitville and Jasper Altered Areas. Human-induced sources include legacy mines in the Stunner, Summitville and Jasper Altered Areas, as well as the Summitville Mine Superfund site.
After accounting for the reversible human-induced sources, CDPHE calculated aluminum values that could be adopted as new, reasonable standards. The Water Quality Control Commission accepted the proposed standards in June 2007. Ambient (or existing conditions) standards apply to Alamosa River segments upstream of Wightman Fork. Technology-based standards—which take into account the achievable aluminum removal using a water treatment plant—apply to Alamosa River segments downstream of Wightman Fork.

Community Involvement
Community involvement plays an important role in the Superfund process. EPA uses a number of different tools and resources to promote effective, on-going, meaningful community involvement. The goals of the Superfund community involvement program are to:
- Keep communities affected by sites informed throughout the cleanup process
- Provide opportunities for communities to comment and offer their input about site cleanup plans
- Facilitate the resolution of community issues tied to a site
EPA places a high priority on land reuse as part of its Superfund response program mission. The agency tries to select cleanup options that encourage and support future use of a site. EPA uses two fundamental methods to facilitate reuse of Superfund sites:
- Exploring future uses before the cleanup remedy is implemented, an approach that gives the Agency the best chance of designing cleanup remedies to support the likely future use of a site.
- Working with landowners and communities to remove barriers not considered necessary for the protection of human health or the environment at those sites where remedies are already in place.
One option for reuse is the siting of clean and renewable energy projects on contaminated (or formerly contaminated) lands. As part of this effort, EPA is evaluating the potential for energy projects on these properties and working with landowners and communities to identify ways to remove barriers to such projects.
Over the course of the summer field season, the site cleanup requires approximately 2,300 kilowatt hours of electrical power, costing CDPHE and EPA approximately $80,000. Energy costs for site operations likely will increase in the future. To add a measure of self-sufficiency and to support renewable energy, EPA and CDPHE have installed a hydro power plant at the site.
The inlet structure, penstock (a pipe that conveys water to the turbine) and foundation for the powerhouse were constructed in 2008. The powerhouse was built and a 35-kilowatt turbine was installed in the fall of 2010. The plant became operational in 2011 (see brochure below). The water entering the inlet structure flows through the penstock where it powers the turbine before re-entering. The hydro plant will provide 15-20 percent of the site's energy needs and result in a reduction of approximately 120 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions during the roughly seven months it operates each year. Both EPA and CDPHE have pushed for the micro-hydro power plant installation and are looking for other opportunities to employ energy-efficient processes and operations at the Summitville Mine Superfund Site.

Land Use Controls and Other Institutional Controls
Land use controls are the most common type of institutional control (IC). ICs are administrative or legal controls that help reduce the likelihood for human exposure to contamination. ICs can also help protect the integrity of the remedy. Examples of ICs are:
- Zoning ordinances
- Environmental covenants
- Deed notices
- Well-drilling restrictions
- Building permits
- Informational advisories
Institutional control options are currently being developed for the site in order to provide long-term protectiveness of the remedy. These ICs will be documented in a modification to the record of decision for the site.
Five-Year Reviews
EPA or the lead agency conducts five-year reviews following the start of a Superfund cleanup when contamination is left on the site. These reviews are repeated every five years. We use these reviews to determine:
- How the remedy is working
- If the remedy remains protective of human health and the environment
CDPHE (the lead agency for the cleanup response) with EPA's oversight conducted the third five-year review in 2010. The report is posted under Site Documents below. The second five-year review for the site will be completed no later than September 2015.

Colorado Fly Fishing
October 2014
The water is holding at a more normal flow and a very welcome sight. We have been getting some mud with the recent storms but seems to clear quickly. At least that's our story, and we'll stick to it for now.
The Colorado River and Roaring Fork River are both fishing well even with the occasional mud slug. Hopper action is slowing and we are nymphing more. You can switch it up and do well with streamers too.
Call us before you come up for the most up-to-date conditions. Stop by one of our shops to stock up on the best flies for where you plan on fishing.
Check out our Closeouts! We just added some Fishpond Bags & Sage Rod closeouts as well as deals on Orvis Endura Waders (Men's & Women's) & Patagonia Rock Grip Wading Boots.
Contact us at either shop for the most current reports or for more details see our Roaring Fork Valley River Flow information page. We are also home to the Roaring Fork Valley Fishing Report.
Licenses Online
If you are planning a fishing trip out in Colorado, you can purchase your license online from Colorado Parks & Wildlife.

Fly Fishing Guide Trips
Roaring Fork Anglers, Alpine Angling and our select guides have been chosen Best Local Guide Service since 2004. Since 1980 weve done Colorado Fly Fishing Guide Trips on Roaring Fork Valley waters and beyond.

We also offer wade fishing on both the Frying Pan River and the Crystal River, and have access to several private ranches and spring creeks that are capable of producing trophy trout.
Check out our Roaring Fork Valley Fly Fishing Report for recent activity of fish and bugs.
With the help of a long time outfitter of the Gunnison Gorge, we are now booking three-day/two-night fly-fishing trips on the 'Gunnie' for 2014.

Mr. Williams' attorney, whose previous comments have been included in our broadcast, has asked that we further clarify two things as we did in our story tonight.
First, although Chris Williams was arrested for stalking in 2008, he was never charged. And second, that the indecent exposure charges for which Mr. Williams was arrested in 2009 were ultimately dropped when one of the victims could not positively 100% identify Mr. Williams, and that those records were later expunged.
As a result of the charges being dropped, Mr. Williams was able to later get these criminal records expunged.

VIENNA, Va., June 20, 2012 –Towards the middle of Keane's set at the Strathmore Thursday night, lead singer Tom Chaplin made mention he felt the band should be playing orchestral music. In truth, his wry observation wasn't that far off the mark, as the Strathmore is indeed an odd fit for a pop/rock act like Keane.
The primary reason for this is that Strathmore is a fixed seat venue, without anything in the way of standing room. It's difficult to move around in this space and slightly awkward when people want to stand. For most of Keane's contemporaries, it wouldn't be a good fit at all. But Keane tends to be on the slightly softer side of the grandiose pop spectrum, so for them, at least, the venue wasn't really too out of the ordinary.
On the other hand, another comment made by Chaplin highlighted how the band had turned their set and the venue on its ear. The inclination at a place like Strathmore is to sit down and relax because the seats are there, and the audience might as well use them. To Keane's credit — or maybe to their fans credit — this was never in the equation Thursday evening. Everyone was on their feet by the first song, and a few songs later, most of the middle section of the audience was in motion. By the time Keane was winding down their set, the fixed, designated seating scheme had become something of an informal suggestion for anyone sitting near the isle.
Keane often gets compared to contemporaries Coldplay. That's not exactly an inaccurate comparison, nor is it one the band should necessarily shy away from. Both bands occupy space similar to one other in the pop/rock universe. But Keane seems to be more concerned with driving melodies than creating a mellow atmosphere.
Keane would never be confused with a hard rock band or some other type of dance band, but they are still very much intent on whipping their audience into a frenzy. If it ever felt as if the crowd wasn't moving, whatever the situation with the venue, this band would have failed mightily. But that didn't happen at Strathmore Thursday evening. Chaplin did an excellent job of interacting with the audience while clearly and crisply belting out each one of the songs in Keane's set. Even with audience movement restricted, he still found a way—and took the time—to sweep toward the stage apron to meet and greet whatever random clump of excited female fans had decided to gather.
Keane is the epitome of a pop/rock group performing at the height of the genre's form. Even if the crowd wasn't unilaterally losing its collective mind over the band, it would be easy to see what has made them enduringly popular over the years. Even at the band's periodic low points, they've still proven to be at least a competent set of performers who can easily put together a quality pop song where others often fail. When they're at the top of their game, though—which included most of Thursday's set, they're fully capable of crafting soaring pop anthems that clearly resonate powerfully with their avid fans.
This is a band that has perfected the craft of pop/rock, and their mastery shows through in their live set. At no point is it easy or necessarily right to say Keane is reinventing the wheel of the genre or has even gone too far outside of their designated musical box. They are always fully aware of what they do well, and they've mastered their impact to an astonishing degree. Throughout the entire show, they never lean too far toward soft or hard, retaining an even balance of sounds and moods that sustains audience interest at all times throughout their set.
During last week's performance, Keane remained in total control in each of their songs. As a result, they had the audience in the palm of their hand the entire night. It actually helped that the audience was relatively fixed in their seats, as it helped them stay fixated on the band, which proved convincingly that Keane is a band that knows exactly who they are and what their fan base demands.

A wallaby is any animal belonging to the family Macropodidae that is smaller than a kangaroo and has not been designated otherwise.
Forest-dwelling wallabies are known as "pademelons" (genus Thylogale) and "dorcopsises" (genera Dorcopsis and Dorcopsulus). The name "wallaby" comes from Dharug 'walabi' or 'waliba'. Young wallabies are known as "joeys", like many other marsupials. Adult male wallabies are referred to as "bucks", "boomers", or "jacks". An adult female wallaby is known as a "doe", "flyer", or "jill". A group of wallabies is called a "court", "mob", or "troupe". Although members of most wallaby species are small, some can grow up to six feet in length (from head to tail).
Wallabies are herbivores whose diet consists of a wide range of grasses, vegetables, leaves, and other foliage. Due to recent urbanization, many wallabies now feed in rural and urban areas. Wallabies cover vast distances for food and water, which is often scarce in their environment. Mobs of wallabies often congregate around the same water hole during the dry season.
Their powerful hind legs are not only used for bounding at high speeds and jumping great heights, but also to administer vigorous kicks to fend off potential predators. The Tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii) has elastic storage in the ankle extensor tendons, without which the animal's metabolic rate might be 30-50% greater.[1] It has also been found that the design of spring-like tendon energy savings and economical muscle force generation is key for the two distal muscle–tendon units of the Tammar wallaby (Macropus-Eugenii).[2] Wallabies also have a powerful tail that is used mostly for balance and support.
Wallabies face several threats. Wild dogs, foxes, and feral cats are among their predators. Humans also pose a significant threat to wallabies due to increased interaction. Many wallabies have been involved in vehicular accidents as they often feed near roads and urban areas.
Wallabies are not a distinct genetic group. Nevertheless, they fall into several broad categories. Typical wallabies of the genus Macropus, like the agile wallaby (Macropus agilis), and the red-necked wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus) are most closely related to the kangaroos and wallaroos and, size aside, look very similar. These are the ones most frequently seen, particularly in the southern states.
Rock-wallabies (genus Petrogale), rather like the goats of the northern hemisphere, specialise in rugged terrain and have modified feet adapted to grip rock with skin friction rather than dig into soil with large claws. There are at least fifteen species and the relationship between several of them is poorly understood. Several are endangered. Captive rock wallaby breeding programs like the one at Healesville Sanctuary have had some success and a small number have recently been released into the wild.
The banded hare-wallaby (Lagostrophus fasciatus) is thought to be the last remaining member of the once-numerous subfamily Sthenurinae, and although once common across southern Australia, is now restricted to two islands off the Western Australian coast which are free of introduced predators. It is not as closely related to the other hare wallabies (genus Lagorchestes) as the hare wallabies are to the other wallabies.
New Guinea, which was until fairly recent geological times part of mainland Australia,[3] has at least five species of wallaby.
Natural range and habitat[edit]
Wallabies are widely distributed across Australia, particularly in more remote, heavily timbered, or rugged areas, less so on the great semi-arid plains that are better suited to the larger, leaner, and more fleet-footed kangaroos. They also can be found at the island of New Guinea.[4]
Introduced populations[edit]
Wallabies of several species have been introduced to other parts of the world, and there are a number of breeding feral populations, including:
- Kawau Island in New Zealand is home to large numbers of tammar, Parma, swamp and brush-tailed rock-wallaby from introductions made around 1870. They are considered a pest on the island,[5] but a programme to re-introduce them to Australia has met with only limited success.[6]
- The Lake Tarawera area of New Zealand has a large tammar population.[5][7]
- The South Canterbury district of New Zealand has a large population of Bennett's wallaby.[5][8]
- On the Isle of Man in the Ballaugh Curraghs area, there is a feral population of over 100 bred originally from a pair that escaped from the nearby Curraghs Wildlife Park in 1970.[9]
- Hawaii has small feral population of wallabies in the upper regions of Kalihi Valley of the island of Oahu[10] arising from an escape of zoo specimens of brush-tailed rock-wallaby (Petrogale penicillata) in 1916.
- In the Peak District of England, a population was established in around 1940[11] by five escapees from a local zoo, and as of late March 2009 sightings were still being made in the area.[12] At its peak in 1975 the population numbered around sixty individuals.
- The island of Inchconnachan in Loch Lomond, Scotland, has a population of around 28 red-necked wallabies introduced by Lady Colquhoun in the 1920s.[13] Eradication to protect the native capercaillie has been proposed.[14][15][16]
- There is also a small population on Lambay Island off the east coast of Ireland.[17] This group was introduced by Dublin Zoo after a sudden population explosion in the mid 1980s. [18]
- Populations in the United Kingdom that, for some periods, bred successfully included one near Teignmouth, Devon, another in the Ashdown Forest, East Sussex and one on the island of Bute and Lundy. It has recently been reported by walkers in the Lickey Hills Country Park area of Birmingham that a pair of wallabies have been released or are loose there (East Tunnock Rambling Club Meeting, December 2010).
- In France, in the southern part of the Forest of Rambouillet, 50 kilometres west of Paris, there is a wild group of around 30 Bennett's wallabies. This population has been present since the seventies, when some individuals escaped from the zoological park of Émancé after a storm.[19]

New Calcium Carbonate-Based Cements for Bone Reconstruction

The feasibility of calcium carbonate-based cements involving the re-crystallization of metastable calcium carbonate varieties has been demonstrated. Two cement compositions were obtained by mixing either calcium carbonate phases (cement A) or a calcium carbonate and a calcium phosphate phase (cement B) with an aqueous media. These cements set and hardened after 30 minutes and 90 minutes respectively. The final composition of cement A was calcite and aragonite whereas cement B lead to a carbonated apatite analogous to bone mineral. Despite poor mechanical properties the presence of a high carbonate content in the final phase might be of interest to increase the cement resorption rate and to favour its replacement by bone tissue. First assays of implantation performed on fresh anatomical pieces (fresh cadavers) at 37°C revealed important advantages of such cement compositions: easiness of use, rapid setting, good adhesion to bone, very good homogeneity and stability of the cement.

On the Hugh Grant romance rumours: We're not dating and I'm not pregnant. We have not kissed or touched. We have not fought and broken upSandra Bullock
Beginnings are usually scary and endings are usually sad, but its the middle that counts. You have to remember this when you find yourself at the beginning.Sandra Bullock
The key to any good relationship, on-screen and off, is communication, respect, and I guess you have to like the way the other person smellsSandra Bullock
I've always been very skeptical about marriage, because I only want to do it once; I want to do it the right way.Sandra Bullock
I love humor. I always will fall back on humor. That's something that I think you can't ever get enough of and, if it's done well, it's great. When it's bad, it's horrible.Sandra Bullock
I never did anything according to what anyone else wanted. That's why I think I am happy. I do everything 100% even my stupidest missteps. I know when I'm getting ready to mess up, I'm going to do it full-on.Sandra Bullock
I now know that anything sweet, really sweet, that I have was nothing that I planned. If you don't have kids and animals, you don't truly know what real life is about.Sandra Bullock
I know I'm not easy to deal with. I'm controlling, and I want everything orderly, and I need lists. My mind goes a mile a minute. I'm difficult on every single level. I'm aware that I can be annoying.Sandra Bullock
I know this in no way alleviates the enormous amounts of pain and loss experienced by those who have suffered from the tsunami, but I hope it can make a difference.Sandra Bullock

And who invented the slash? - Tired of having to always type in "forward slash, forward slash" when you visit a website? Well, the scientist who created those slashes as part of web addresses now regrets that he did it that way. And to protect yourself from computer viruses, you may soon have ants in your computer.
BBC News reports that Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the World Wide Web 30 years ago, admits that the // in a web address were actually "unnecessary" and he could easily have designed URLs without them, but "it seemed like a good idea at the time." BBC quotes him as saying that he had no idea that the forward slashes in every web address would cause "so much hassle."
Have you got ants in your computer? If you do, it's not because you've been eating lunch while computing again, it's because you have the latest kind of firewall! In the never-ending battle to protect computer networks from intruders, security experts are deploying a new defense modeled after one of nature

LEC Education
Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program
The summer Research Experience for Undergraduates Program (REU) funded 10 undergraduate students from throughout the U.S.A. to work under real conditions on environmental problems with scientists at the LEC. REU students participated in an interdisciplinary research project, with the focus being environmental protection of the Maumee River watershed that flows through Toledo into Lake Erie. Students worked with professors with expertise in a wide range of disciplines including Geography, Planning, Earth Science, Biology, Geology, Remote Sensing, and Environmental Law. Students were exposed to both field and lab work during the REU program.
