Published by Marybeth Smith at 6:26 AM under ADHD | Bipolar Disorder | Humor | Living Well | Mania | Stress
That has been my week. Hypomaniacly getting TONS of shiznit done … that has nothing to do with what I should be doing.
Should be …
… let's just stop there before I burst open brain cell thinking about it all
What I did instead was …
Needless to say … NOT what I should have been doing.
Regardless, I did get some great things out of the way. But I just couldn't find the motivation to do the real stuff that was on the agenda.
This tends to be the case when I'm hypomanic. I get shizz done, but never what I'm supposed to. I'm too distracted and then I start a new project that I HAVE to finish before I can do anything else. It's ridiculous really. But at least I can rationalize it to myself since I did get SOMETHING done.
Ever had this issue? Is your procrastination productive?

I am the same way when I am hypomanic and I am usually more amused by my antics than anyone else. That is why I avoid hypomania. I have my medication adjusted so I don't become hypomanic unless I drink too much caffeine, alcohol, do drugs, or miss too much sleep, so I avoid those things too. Is the purpose of this blog to encourage recovery or celebrate disorder?
Response by Heather on 1/9/2012 10:53:48 AM
I get this way too, but my problem is that I start thing that I'm not suppose to be doing, then I get distracted by something else an never return. I start so many things when I am hypomanic and never get anything do. I have so many to do lists it's not funny. I even start a to do list, get distracted, then I start another to do list. It's crazy!
Response by Janice Doe on 1/9/2012 7:25:39 PM
Marybeth, at first I found your article amusing. I do the same things you describe! In fact, I am in the beginning of hypomania myself, and reading your blog made me feel pretty good about that. I mean, I'll be getting stuff done, right?
But then I read Andrea's post, and I am reconsidering whether my hypomania is really in my best interest. In the past, yeah I got stuff done, but not what needed to be done. So, once again, I fell behind on the important things, leading to stress, irritability and agitation, negative self-thoughts, depression, and crashing. None of which wins me any favors with my co-workers and bosses. Nor is it helpful in my efforts to be a good wife, sister, and daughter.
In my hypomania, I've been super-productive, and done lots of really good work, and done lots of ridiculous things. It all makes for really good stories. And I think it is OK to laugh at those things, up to a point.
Ultimately, however, I think we need to reconsider the wisdom of taking hypomania too lightly.
Andrea describes the things she does to avoid hypomania. What do others do to manage their highs before things get out of hand?
Response by withavengeance on 1/11/2012 12:46:44 PM
Ah, hypomania! Gotta love it ;)
Sometimes I'm VERY productive and get things done that should be getting done. Other times, my mind is so scattered I don't know where to start. And other times, I procrastinate and get nothing much done.
A lot of times when the thoughts are whooshing through my head, I start making a list. Those thoughts can occur in the weirdest places & I have to grab them before they're gone. I've been known to write on napkins and my hand ;) Little things, big things, ANYthing.
I do have enough self-awareness now to recognize hypomania for what it is and take very good care not to get too 'high'. For me, that's when the big trouble can start.
Response by Miichael on 1/12/2012 1:26:49 PM
My mania, although sometimes productive, typically ends up costing me all of my money, money that I've borrowed, thousands of travel miles, jobs, relationships, health and years off my life. Productivity during mania is wonderful, but it is usually overshadowed by the pain I've caused myself and my loved ones.
Response by Marybeth Smith on 1/20/2012 7:59:30 PM
Hypomania/Mania has it's perks and it's downfalls. I do my best to look at the positives of what I'm going through instead of all the bad. There's way too much bad with this illness. I'm not saying I'm taking it lightly. I REALLY have to watch myself and usually consult with my husband just to make sure I'm not taking on too much (he usually says I am of course)
I guess what I'm trying to say is ... hypomania/mania CAN be dangerous if not managed ... but I think we need to make the best of it when it's there. In my case it's not there often or for long periods of time. It's just the optimist in me.
I have bipolar ... not gonna lie ... it totally SUCKS! But if I'm always focused on how crappy it is and how it's holding me back or making my life hell, then I'm going to be miserable 24/7. I don't like being miserable.
So no ... do not take hypomania/mania with a grain of salt, but also, try not be too negative about it. Be aware of it and aware of the extremes you are going to. And seriously, it's great to have someone to check in with and tell you how it is.
Response by Sarah on 3/10/2012 7:45:16 PM
Wow! I just came upon this post, and this is EXACTLY what's happened to me for the past couple of weeks! I was diagnosed with Bipolar about 10 years ago when I was in middle school. Now I am a junior at a university. I have never heard of Hypomanic Productive Procrastination, until now. I can say that I relate 110% I have done it this week so much, and it's been effecting my grades. Marybeth, how do you deal with procrastination? Did you ever have trouble with it while you were in college? How do you manage your hypomania or hypomanic symptoms?
Thank you.
Response by Lizbeth on 3/25/2012 4:32:08 PM
I was on an antidepressant for 3 weeks. One afternoon 10 days ago, I heard the usual "click" in my head and realized the depression had lifted. I had to make an urgent call to the doctor to let him know. The next day I was manic. Hearing voices and talking to myself. My doc was out off town but I contacted him on his cell phone to break out the hot news. No more antidepressant, on with the haldol (God sent for me, after all those atypical antipsychotics I was put on)
So for a couple of days I was kinda manic. Kinda. I decided I HAD to know all about "Knowledge Systems" (a discipline of Artificial Intelligence - I'm a Computer Science specialist and a Bipolar I rapid cycler did I mention that?). The book was there in my book case, waiting for me and I HAD to learn these stuff. I finished half the book in three days (pretty cool stuff IMO). It was soooooo related with my sudden realization of the "Matrix of Life" and the "World of Ideas". Oh I'm such a philosopher when I'm manic. lol
After three days I felt "better" (not manic but hypomanic) So I was thinking is AI knowledge enrichment so urgent? I decided not. So I sut down and concidered my priorities. My house was in desperate need of cleaning. My plants wanted some water, new soil and trimming.I was left behide on a couple of projects (due to my depressive episode) and I had to catch up. (I work from home so I have the priviledge to work at my own pace)
So I spent the next days cleaning the house, working on my plants ( I have some new "babies" to prove it) and most importandly working on my projects. A lot of emails back and forth, (double checked by my associates, tagged with the "Caution, possible Bipolaritis", when it had to be sent to the client directly - yeah all of them needed editing) and a lot of work done.
Now I'm just sitting on my butt, expecting feedback from the clients and ahead of schedule. I spent most of the day chatting with a long lost friend from my childhood and browsing the net. I prepared a luscious dinner for my family and everyone commented how better I look! (yeah I spent the last 10 days, manic or hypomanic, but you don't have to know that! )I even spent the last hour at bphope reading up and writing up comments (omg I HAVE to response to THAT!) Heck it's Sunday come ooooooooon!
People listen. Hypomania is good while it lasts. You can do a lot of things and make up for the "lost hours". It's hard to get your priorities straight, I know. I believe it's better to contact your doctor when you're realizing that you're getting hypomanic. I know I don't need another hospitalization in my life, not any time soon.
Oh and I have to go now, I have to learn more on the "Natural Language Processing Systems". My AI book said so...
I know I'm hilarious

.- Bishop Vicente Jimenez of Santander said summer vacations should be dedicated to cultivating and enriching the spirit and not only to rest and distraction.
The bishop, whose diocese includes the Cantabrian Sea coast, which is a popular tourist destination, has written a pastoral letter inviting Catholics to take advantage of vacation time in the region "to cultivate the spirit, to contemplate nature and practice family life."
Vacations "are necessary and refreshing because they encompass so many values: it is fitting to interrupt our habitual occupations and even to leave our own environment in which we live our daily life," Bishop Jimenez said.
He stressed that vacation time should include prayer, reflection, silence and listening, since the business of daily life often does not allow for "something so basic as interior silence."
"People today barely have time to think and mediate calmly and without hurry. We live in an agitated and unpeaceful society, which makes us incapable of paying attention to the needs of others and even incapable of being alone with ourselves and with God," Bishop Jimenez said in his letter. "For this reason, retreats or spiritual exercises, visits to shrines and other activities that aid in exterior silence and interior listening are recommended."

Today only. LOLShirts is offering all Sale T-Shirts on sale for $7 with free shipping with coupon code LEAPYEAR. XXL and XXXL sizes cost $1 more.
You know, the discount coupon worked fine until final checkout. Then it got thrown away and I got charged full price.
Never could figure companies that charge more for XXL and XXXL shirts. They don't charge LESS for small and medium sizes, do they??
That sucks #1. You got to call the company and draw the line in the sand. Tell them that their discretion will not stand.

Miss Stork
A stork in the snow.
I assumed she must be so cold and hungry and having a hard time surviving this cold winter...
Just when I was about to warn animal cops, she flew of, landed in a garden en started to eat some bread that people put there for her. She looked really comfortable...
I guess she's all right and probably drinking hot chocolate on the coach now ;)

Adults have long red legs and long pointed red beaks, and measure on average 100–115 cm from beak tip to end of tail, with a 155–215 cm wingspan.

NEWARK, N.J. - Two stars of the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" are scheduled to make initial court appearances on federal fraud charges.
Teresa Giudice and her husband Giuseppe "Joe" Giudice were due in federal court Tuesday morning. They were charged in a 39-count indictment Monday with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, making false statements on loan applications and bankruptcy fraud.
The couple is accused of exaggerating their income while applying for loans before their TV show debuted in 2009, then hiding their fortunes in a bankruptcy filing after their first season aired.
Authorities allege the couple submitted fraudulent mortgage and other loan applications from 2001 to 2008, a year before their show debuted on Bravo. Prosecutors said the couple submitted fake W-2s, tax returns and bank account information to lenders.
Prosecutors allege the Giudices received about $4.6 million in mortgages, withdrawals from home equity lines of credit and construction loans.
Joe Giudice, an entrepreneur, also failed to file tax returns for the years 2004 through 2008, when he is alleged to have earned nearly $1 million, prosecutors said. During that time his income allegedly fluctuated wildly; the indictment states he made $323,481 in 2005 and $26,194 in 2006.
Teresa Giudice's attorney, Henry Klingeman, said she would plead not guilty. Joe Giudice's attorney did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
In a statement, Teresa said she supports her husband and wants to resolve the charges as soon as possible.
"I am committed to my family and intend to maintain our lives in the best way possible, which includes continuing my career," she said.
A Bravo spokesman had no comment.
"Everyone has an obligation to tell the truth when dealing with the courts, paying their taxes and applying for loans or mortgages," said U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman. "That's reality."
In their 2009 bankruptcy filing, the couple said they were $11 million in debt. They stated their monthly take-home pay was $16,583, but $10,000 was from "monthly assistance from family members" and Bravo income.
It also said they owed $2.2 million in mortgages, $13,000 to Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom and nearly $12,000 to a fertility clinic.
The most serious charges the couple face, bank fraud and loan application fraud, carry a maximum potential penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine.

Science Outside the Lab - Application Deadline April 2, 2012
A policy immersion program in Washington, D.C., for science and engineering graduate students
- For STP, STS, and HPS Students:
Monday June 4 - Friday June 15, 2012 (arrival on Sunday June 3; departure on Saturday June 16)
- For Science and Engineering Students:
Monday June 18 - Friday June 29, 2012 (arrival on Sunday June 17; departure on Saturday June 30)
What is it?
Science Outside the Lab, presented by Arizona State University's Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes (CSPO), explores the relationships among science, policy, and societal outcomes in a place where many important decisions about these things are made - Washington, D.C. During the two-week workshop, students will meet and interact with the people who fund, regulate, shape, critique, publicize and study science, including congressional staffers, funding agency officers, lobbyists, regulators, journalists, academics, museum curators and others.
With the intersections between science, politics and society making the headlines every day, it is more important than ever for scientists and engineers to know how the decisions that affect them are made. Washington, D.C., where the $140 billion of federal science money and countless policy decisions originate, is the perfect setting to delve into the complicated world of science policy. Junior scholars who understand the goals and implications of publicly funded science will likely have an advantage when seeking jobs and funding. This program also will explore numerous careers in the science policy realm.
Who should attend?
Doctoral students who are interested in how the decisions about science funding, regulation and policy are made will benefit from this program. Graduate students interested in careers in science policy also will find this to be an excellent opportunity to learn about important fellowships and meet current science policy professionals.
What to expect?
Arizona State University hosts the program at its Washington Center and meetings take place in locations throughout the Washington, D.C., area, which allow the students to experience many facets of the Nation's Capital. This is not a two-week lecture series. It includes discussions, hands-on experiences and on-location learning. It is designed not just to teach how decisions are made but to give the participants a chance to try their hands at them as well. The primary component of the program is the discussions the students will have with people throughout the District of Columbia. All presenters are asked to limit their opening comments to fifteen minutes. This leaves plenty of time for conversation. This opportunity, of course, comes with a significant responsibility. The success of the course will rest on the participants' ability to ask probing questions and explore the subtler facets of policy. The goal is to expose participating graduate scientists and engineers to as many different viewpoints as possible and help them understand how the people and institutions in Washington, D.C., both influence and learn from science. Participants live in dormitories at George Washington University - walking distance to Georgetown and a Metro ride away from all the major sites in D.C.
Option 1 (with lodging): $3,500, includes all program activities and materials, shared lodging for 13 nights in the George Washington University dorms, 13 breakfasts, 10 weekday lunches, and local transportation via the metro while in Washington, D.C. Participants are responsible for making their own travel arrangements to and from Washington, D.C., as well as their own lunches during the weekend and all dinners.
Option 2 (no lodging): $2,500, includes all program activities and materials, 10 weekday lunches, and local transportation via the metro while in Washington, D.C. Participants are responsible for making their own travel arrangements to and from Washington, D.C., and making their own lodging arrangements for the duration of the program, as well as their own lunches during the weekend and all dinners. Note: Hotels in the Washington metro area can run $200+ per night during the early summer.
How do I apply?
Applications will be accepted January 15 - April 2, 2012

- This program is designed to provide mentorship and access to Penn's resources for doctoral students in the humanities or social sciences, enrolled at universities other than Penn, as they complete their dissertations.
- It supports scholars from a wide range of backgrounds, who can contribute to the diversity of Penn and the higher education community.
- The Fellowships support graduate students in the final stages of dissertation research or writing for residency at Penn for an academic year, normally September through August.
- They offer an opportunity for scholars who plan an academic career to take advantage of Penn programs and faculty expertise and to have access to libraries and the resources of the Philadelphia region. Each scholar will be hosted by a department or program and assigned a faculty mentor. Recipients can be in the stage of either dissertation research or writing.
The Fellowship provides a stipend of $27,000, health and dental insurance, office space, library privileges, and a $3000 research and travel fund.
- The application deadline is April 15, 2012.
- This year, three of these new Fellowships will be awarded. Candidates must:
- Be a U.S citizen or permanent resident.
- Be enrolled in a PhD program in the humanities or social sciences at an institution other than Penn, have passed their PhD qualifying examinations, and have an approved dissertation proposal.
- Be a student of exceptional academic merit who belongs to a group underrepresented in higher education; and/or comes from a socially, culturally, or educationally disadvantaged background or have faced other significant personal obstacles; and/or pursues academic research on cultural, societal, or educational problems as they affect disadvantaged segments of society.
Applications consist of:
- A personal statement describing the student's work, dissertation, and any other information that the student would like to present to the selection committee. The statement should begin by addressing the importance of the student's topic and approach and then explain the dissertation's aims, methodologies (how the student will conduct the research), originality, and contribution to its field.
- A dissertation abstract.
- Two letters of recommendation, one which must come from the dissertation advisor, commenting on the student's performance, potential, and expected time to degree. At least one of the letters must address the student's contribution to diversity in higher education. These can be sent separately by the recommenders.
- Official graduate transcript(s).
- Current curriculum vitae.
These materials should be sent to Stephanie King in the Office of the Provost. They can be transmitted in more than one email. Statements of endorsement, reference letters and transcripts should be sent as PDFs. Correspondence must be signed and on official letterhead.
Questions can be addressed to the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty.

Dear Help Squad,
For the past year I have worked at the Home Depot in Niles. I loved that job. I learned how to work in 6 different departments, and I had all sorts of different responsibilities, including several higher level management type tasks. I was very close with the managers who hired me, and they repeatedly told me how hard I worked, and how I would go far in the company. Yet, most of them were either transferred or fired.
The old managers never told the new ones that they were grooming me for moving up. Around October, I reached my one year mark and found my hours reduced to only nine per week, and was only being scheduled in a single department.
I pretty much lost my love I had for working there. My employment terminated on the 3rd of December. Home Depot still owes me $415, which I know doesn't seem like a lot of money, but I just had my first child and money is very tight, especially considering the fact that I lost my job.
I have already spoken to several of the managers there and each one tells me that they will get right on it. This was the 3rd of December, and basically the next week or two afterwards. It is now mid-January and I have still not received anything from them. What am I supposed to do? It's one little me against a great big orange corporation! Please help me!! Thank you!!
-Gratefully, Joe Ejnik, Park Ridge
Even though we only knew one side of the story, we at Help Squad were disappointed to hear what happened to Joe. Usually if someone loves his or her job, it shows in their work, often times leading to recognition from company superiors. And Joe certainly came across as passionate in his former job. So, it really didn't make sense.
That said, our task was to get Joe his final paycheck of $415. So, we called The Home Depot where he worked and spoke with one of his former managers who quickly directed us to Home Depot's corporate office in Atlanta, specifically HR services.
After a couple of phone calls, we were told that the company would not discuss Joe's case or give out any information. So, after hanging up, we got Joe on the line and called back.
An company representative looked into the matter while we were on hold, got back on the line and told Joe she would send the check out immediately.
Immediately is right! The Home Depot overnighted the check and Joe got his $415 check the next day!
Dear Joe,
First of all, we are sorry that things turned out the way they did for you, and that you lost a job you really loved. That's not easy, especially with a new baby to support.
We'll leave you with this great quote by Vince Lombardi. "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will."
Best of luck in your job search!

*Editor's Note: A version of this story originally appears on AD sister site minonline.com.
The annual "Eat Cheap" issue of New York magazine is always filled with the latest trends in feasting well on a budget, and now that advice migrates to the little video screen in a five-part series. A partnership between the magazine and Ben Silverman's Electus production company is bringing "Eat Cheap with New York Magazine" to life on the Electus YouTube channel, HUNGRY.
"We were excited about the idea of getting involved in this YouTube program because we know it's something they believe in strongly, that they've invested quite a bit in and that they'll be promoting heavily," says Serena Torrey, New York's executive director of business development. "We're interested to see what that means in terms of streams of this video and user interest, but also any other data points that Electus and YouTube will make available to us in terms of how long users stream these videos for, which they engage with most and why. It's data we have some access to because we produce videos in house and upload to YouTube. We've already learned a lot about YouTube and our ability to attract users on other platforms, but this partnership really takes it to the next level."
The series premiered this week on the HUNGRY channel, which has over 27,000 YouTube subscribers. As co-host and NYMag.com's Grub Street editor Alyssa Shelansky says in the inaugural episode, "It's a great time to be broke and hungry in New York City." The six-minute episode focuses on "the season of the fish filet sandwich" in the city.
"Across all of our sites, we see more than 11 million unique visitors a month, while the magazine has a weekly circulation of 400,000," says Torrey. "We know that our real growth opportunity, as far as audience goes, is in finding new audiences for our brands online. We already have a huge digital audience so this is a business we've had a lot of success in, and it's only growing. For visitors to our digital properties, 80 percent are coming from outside of New York and 20 percent come from inside. They're very much a national and international audience—when it comes to our restaurant content, it's 50-50."
Torrey adds that these online readers are coming from other major U.S. cities and make up two groups of people—those that are interested in food and restaurant content in general, or those that will be traveling to New York City.
"We know that both of those types, inside and outside of New York, are interested in this content," she says. "By putting our brand and restaurant content on another platform, we can get all of those types of people visiting our content even more often—those that live in New York and want to know where to eat tonight, those that live outside of New York and would like ideas about where to eat when they do come, as well as people who simply are intrigued by the really robust restaurant culture that we have here in New York."
The series will run for five episodes. The partnering of cross-platform video production house Electus and New York magazine is part of the YouTube push for programming more branded, professional content into discrete "channels" on the Google-owned video network.

I've tried searching for this topic but have not been able to find anything similar to my question.
It's the first mixer I've had in such a long time so I really do appreciate anybody's help with this.
I use my new mixer for radio work and I've tried to give as much information as possible.
X1622usb mixer
Macbook Pro (2011)
Adobe Audition (recording/editing)
Behringer B-1 microphone
I can send audio from mixer to macbook audition to record - simple.
Sending audio from macbook to mixer (using Itunes or radio dj software) - can't figure it out!!
Pressing the red 2-TR/USB sends the audio straight to the main mix is no use - i need to be able to send audio via a channel.
1: see pic - I'm trying to allocate the audio which is coming from the radio playout system (carts) into different channels (7 & 8) - however, this is not working - is this even possible?
2: I'm trying to take audio that is going into the 2-TR and using the 2-TR OUTPUT (L & R) - patch into a different channel (using twin phono to jack leads) - this is also not working.
I know that the audio is reaching the mixer - because I can hear it when i select 2-TR/USB to Main - however, that sends the audio straight to main mix - when I need it to go into one of the channels so I can control the level against a microphone level.
Really appreciate any help with this.
Many thanks,

Enrollment in Private Schools Drops in Last Decade
Posted 3/25/2013 12:00 am
A recent U.S. Census Bureau report documents a drop in private school enrollment in the U.S. during the first decade of this century.
The decline is seen both in actual numbers and in the proportion of students enrolled in private schools, according to the report titled "The Decline in Private School Enrollment," a "working paper" of the Census Bureau. The January report was written by Stephanie Ewert with the bureau's Social, Economic & Housing Statistics Division.
Ewert examined three measurements of enrollment: The Private School Survey, a yearly report released by the U.S. Department of Education; and the Current Population Survey and the American Community Survey, both of which are conducted by the Census Bureau. The American Community Survey wasn't fully implemented until 2005.
"The decline in private school enrollment occurred at all school levels but was concentrated among schools that were larger, religiously affiliated, and not located in rural areas," the report says. "The data do not support the explanation that the economic recession started the decline in private school enrollment. However, there is some evidence that growth in the charter school movement has contributed to the decline in private school enrollment."

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The struggling United Football League will move ahead with four franchises instead of five and play a condensed regular-season schedule starting Sept. 15.
The second-tier pro league announced Wednesday that the Hartford Colonials have suspended operations. That leaves the UFL with teams in Omaha, Neb., Norfolk, Va., Las Vegas and Sacramento, Calif.
Each team will play six regular-season games instead of eight, with three at home and three on the road. The top two teams will play a championship game.
The UFL has lost more than $100 million it its first two years.
The UFL said last month that it would push back the start of the season a month, fueling speculation that the league would fold.

NIH Funds Two UCSD Scientists To Venture Deep into Human Genome
Two University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine researchers will receive two of the first grants in a three-year scientific reconnaissance mission aimed at discovering all parts of the human genome that are crucial to biological function. UCSD is the only institution to receive two of the awards from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health.
The new effort, funded with $36 million, is called the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and will be carried out by an international consortium made up of 14 scientists in government, industry and academia. A consortium will be utilized due to the wide range of technologies to be tested and developed.
The UCSD recipients are:
|Bing Ren, Ph.D.
Bing Ren, Ph.D., a member of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at UCSD and a UCSD assistant professor of cellular and molecular medicine, who will receive $3.1 million for a project titled "Mapping Transcriptional Regulatory Elements in Human DNA." Working with him on the project are Christopher Glass, M.D., Ph.D., UCSD professor of cellular and molecular medicine, and Michael G. Rosenfeld, M.D., UCSD professor of medicine and a member of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
Xiang-Dong Fu, Ph.D.
Xiang-Dong Fu, Ph.D., UCSD professor of cellular and molecular medicine, who will receive $1.4 million for "A Novel chIP-Chip Technology for ENCODE."
The grants were announced by NHGRI director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., who led the public effort to sequence all 3 billion base pairs of human DNA. He noted that "the Human Genome Project has provided us with a wonderful foundation, but obviously having the human genomic sequence is not enough. We must keep on exploring this newfound wealth of knowledge if we are to realize the full potential of genome research to improve human health."
Ren explained that his research will test the efficiency of a genome-wide location analysis approach that he developed, to discover all on-off gene expression switches in the human genome. The analysis combines DNA microarray technologies with a biochemical purification scheme which uses specific antibodies to isolate protein-DNA complexes from living cells, to reveal the protein-DNA interactions on a genome-wide scale.
"The genome sequence is often referred to as the book of life, but mapping all the nucleotides in a genome does not immediately reveal meaning of the script," Ren said. "Learning how the human genome instructs precise expression of roughly 30,000 genes during embryo development and normal physiological processes has become the next frontier in biomedical research."
He added that his research team will devise an integrated approach combining experimental and computational methods to systemically dissect the gene expression programs encoded by the genome sequence, to understand program errors that underlie human diseases such as cancer.
Fu's research project will focus on new technologies.
"We are developing a technology that will allow identification of functional DNA elements," Fu said. "Our research will capture the DNA-protein complex formed inside cells by specific antibodies and use microarray to systematically determine the distribution of the complex in the genome. To achieve this, a robust technology is needed. Within the ENCORE project, we will further develop a new technology which we have demonstrated in a small scale in the laboratory."
He added that the new technology, called chIP-Chip, is a procedure to capture the DNA-protein complex formed inside cells, and the DNA microarray on a wafer-thin chip, which is used to identify the location and distribution of the complex in the genome.
"Our project will develop the next generation of technology for the ENCODE project," he said. "Based on our preliminary study, this technology should overcome many of the shortcoming in existing technology and allow decoding of functional DNA elements with high precision."
A major aspect of ENCODE is testing of efficient, high-throughout methods for identifying, locating and fully analyzing all of the functional elements contained in a set of DNA target regions that covers approximately 30 megabases, or about 1 percent, of the human genome. If the pilot effort proves successful, the project will be expanded to cover the entire genome.
Additional ENCODE grants are made to:
Richard Myers, Ph.D., Stanford University, Palo Alto, Calif. – "The Stanford ENCODE Project" – First year funds, $2.7 million; total funds, $8 million.
George Stamatoyannopoulos, M.D., Dr. Sci., University of Washington, Seattle – "Identification of Functional DNA Elements by HSqPCR" – First year funds, $2.3 million; total funds, $6.9 million.
Michael Snyder, Ph.D., Yale University, New Haven, Conn. – "Transcription and Regulatory Elements in ENCODE Regions" – First year funds, $1.7 million; total funds, $4.9 million.
Thomas Gingeras, Ph.D., Affymetrix, Inc., Santa Clara, Calif. – "Mapping Sites of Transcription and Regulation" – First year funds, $990,000; total funds, $2 million.
Roderic Guigo, Ph.D., Municipal Institute of Medical Research, Barcelona, Spain – "Encyclopedia of Genes and Gene Variants" – First year funds, $570,000; total funds, $1.5 million.
Anindya Dutta, Ph.D., University of Virginia, Charlottesville – "Mapping Replication Elements on Human Chromosomes" – First year funds, $380,000; total funds, $1.1 million.
Ian Dunham, Ph.D., The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Hinxton, U.K. – "Detecting Human Functional Sequences with Microarrays"– First year funds, $490,000; total funds, $730,000.
Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., Boston University – "Alternative Promoter Usage in Tissue-Specific Gene Expression" – First year funds, $530,000; total funds, $1.5 million.
Robert Kingston, Ph.D., Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston – "Long-Range, High-Resolution Mapping of Chromatin" – First year funds, $430,000; total funds, $1.3 million.
Roland Green, Ph.D., Nimblegen Systems, Inc., Madison, Wisc. – "Discovery of Binding Sites for Transcription Factors" – First year funds, $400,000; total funds $1.3 million.
Mark McCormick, Ph.D., Nimblegen Systems, Inc., Madison, Wisc. – "DNA Array-based Exon Detection and Linkage Mapping" – First year funds, $400,000; total funds, $1.2 million.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Caleb Rowe threw for 332 yards and hit tight end Dave Stinebaugh for the go-ahead score with 5:14 left as Maryland beat Virginia 27-26 Saturday in perhaps the final meeting between these border rivals.
Rowe's 12-yard touchdown pass made it 27-26. Virginia moved to the Maryland 24-yard line in the closing seconds before Alec Vozenilek's 42-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right with 10 seconds remaining.
Rowe made his second career start in place of C.J. Brown, who sustained a concussion in last week's 63-0 loss at Florida State. Rowe went 18 for 34 and directed an offense that accumulated 468 yards.

Parents should carefully check their child's toys and jewelry to see if their child has any of the toys recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
