The Three Stages Of My Life.
Bruised and lonely as i sit, I ponder upon what has made me this.
Bending down to see how far does this go,
the shades of memories making me low.
The three stages of my life, i see.
Kid, Child and teenage namely.
Each emphasizing to its own,
Pointing out, every mistake, equally grown.
Giggles of a new born, do i hear,
Grumbles of a youth, do i hear,
Crises of my teen, do i hear.
I hear the agony of a broken crayon,
I see the distress of un-satisfied wish for a chocolate,
I feel the miseries of a broken heart.
I hear the bliss of making noises,
I see the pleasure of being the favorite child,
I feel the joy of getting someone's attention.
I hear the passing bells of a pram,
I see perplexity to decide the favorite cartoon,
I feel the dilemma of two different perspectives.
Walking beyond the lane of my memories,
i halt at a place called present,
I stand up from the place of despair,
Grasp all those sheds of tears and Smiles..
And Begin walking towards my future....

Esquire magazine recently came up with a list of 8 pairs of shoes that "every man should own." Intrigued by the insistence of this article's headline, I was nevertheless disappointed with some of the, rather obviously, 'advertorial' choices. The first selection was inevitable; black Oxfords (which Esquire felt the need to classify as 'lace up' – what else is an Oxford?) However, it's hard to dispute the primacy of this … [Read more...]

A Retention and Graduation Report from Valdosta State University for the Regents' Graduation Rate Taskforce Submitted by Patrick J. Schloss, Ph.D., President and Philip L. Gunter, Ph.D., Interim Provost Vice President for Academic Affairs Introduction One of two Regional Universities in the University System of Georgia, Valdosta State University (VSU) is located in a metropolitan area along the Florida-Georgia border in South Central Georgia. The campus is noted for its Spanish mission architecture and natural beauty. The University offers programs leading to 58 undergraduate degree majors and 49 graduate degree majors with nationally accredited programs in Art, Business, Library Science, Music, Nursing, Sports Medicine/Athletic Training, Speech-Language Pathology, Theatre, Public Administration, Social Work, School Counseling and Educator Preparation. VSU has a budget exceeding $165 million and employs over 1,500 faculty, staff, and administrators. CHALLENGES STUDENT CHALLENGES VSU CHALLENGES • Academic • Academic Factors Factors • Financial • Financial Factors Factors • Engagement • Engagement Factors Factors Student Challenges—National: Academic Factors. Students can increase their probability for graduation by attending a college that matches, or is close to, their academic ability. Many students do not consider critical success factors when selecting a college or university. Financial Factors. Students in the lowest income quartile have historically been the least likely to attend college and have lower graduation rates than their higher income counterparts. Additionally, students that receive a merit-based scholarship (i.e., HOPE) may find that they are unable to afford college if they lose the scholarship. Valdosta State University 1 February 2010 Engagement Factors. Students who have less on-campus interactions such as contact with faculty and involvement in activities, clubs, or sports are less connected and committed to the institution and therefore less likely to complete a degree. Institutional Challenges—National: Academic Factors. Some institutions experience the trickle down major effect, whereby a student ambitiously selects a major which is too academically rigorous and therefore trickles down to a major with a better academic fit. However, this alternate major may not be available at the home institution, leading the student to transfer to a school in which the major is available. Financial Factors. Institutions are challenged to raise enough money for merit scholarships that assist talented students with the costs of their higher education degree. Distance from Home. The further a university is from a student's home, the less likely to a student will matriculate to graduation. Regional Universities are increasingly reaching out to wider distances to recruit students. This has a desirable effect of attracting larger freshman classes but an undesirable effect on retention and graduation. Challenges at Valdosta State University Factors that impact VSU's retention and graduation rates are listed below. These factors are categorized as either a student factor or an institutional factor and are further classified as academic, financial, or engagement. Student Challenges: Academic Challenges VSU serves the South Georgia region which has traditionally been the most rural area in the state. Students from these areas have attended high schools which may have provided less academic rigor and less college preparatory support. Many of these students are first-generation college students and the level of academic encouragement received at home may be insufficient to encourage success in college. The graduation rate of feeder high schools in the area impacts the number of students VSU enrolls. For example, Valdosta High School has a graduation rate of 61%, compared to the state average of 75%. The percent of Valdosta High School students passing the Georgia High School Graduation Test in 2009 was 67.4%. A highly publicized statistic is Georgia's average SAT score, which decreased for the third consecutive year in 2009 and is one predictor of student success. Georgia ranked near the bottom of all states in average SAT score. Solutions In 2008, the Department of Education awarded VSU a Federal TRiO grant to begin an Upward Bound program designed to provide opportunities for high school students from underrepresented populations to succeed in the postsecondary environment. VSU provides academic support via the Student Success Center (SSC). Acting as a compass, the SSC helps students navigate their college careers, utilizing tutoring, advising, and on-campus job opportunities. Their mission is to increase student retention by supporting students, at any level and ability, in their coursework, job experiences, and academic and career planning, thereby fostering determination and drive to graduate on time and lead fulfilling lives. Valdosta Early College Academy (VECA) is an innovative school formed as a partnership between the Valdosta City Schools and Valdosta State University which is located on the VSU campus. It blends middle/high school and college into a seamless technology-rich education program, provides rigorous curriculum with high academic and behavioral expectations, and provides small classes and instruction designed to meet the needs of every student. Valdosta State University 2 February 2010 Financial Challenges Students from a rural area such as South Georgia generally have a lower socioeconomic status (SES) than students from other areas of the state. Many students from VSU's regional service area are first-generation college students and their expected family contribution is typically less than that of a student who is not a first-generation college student. According to the Southern Region Education Board (SREB), the per capita income in Georgia is $33,975. Although Georgia's public four-year college and university median annual tuition and fees is the third lowest among the 16 SREB states, this amount remains out of reach for many families. Due to the rising cost of college, many VSU students work to supplement or entirely fund their postsecondary educations. Graduating seniors, in the VSU 2009 Senior Exit Survey, responded that 20.0% worked full-time and 52.2% worked part-time during college. Solutions The institution seeks external donors to increase its offering of need-based financial aid through an Annual Giving campaign. Last year, the VSU Foundation awarded approximately $377,000 in scholarships, which financed tuition and educational costs for 342 deserving young men and women. Students with HOPE scholarships comprised 52% of VSU's first-time freshmen from Georgia high schools in Fall 2008. Approximately 25% of students maintain the HOPE scholarship through graduation. VSU students attending college with a HOPE scholarship are more likely to be retained; an analysis of VSU's withdrawn students showed that 20.9% of students who withdrew over the past six years had the HOPE scholarship. Engagement Challenges Students may plan to transfer to another institution before, or as soon as, they matriculate at VSU. This is typical of students who do not gain admission to their first choice institution. Today's millennial students arrive at a higher education institution with greater appreciation, knowledge, and expectations for technology. This technology can serve as students' principal form of entertainment in some cases, allowing them to be less civically and socially engaged with VSU and the City of Valdosta's activities. Solutions Approximately one-third of VSU's Fall 2010 freshmen will participate in a student learning community, which is an effective tool in retaining freshmen and fostering a sense of campus community. Student Life activities and the recent completion of new infrastructure (Student Union and residence halls) will also assist in engaging students. The institution can better incorporate technology into current programming or redesign activities to further engage students. Institutional Challenges: Academic Challenges While VSU offers an array of academic programs, the institution does not More than half (52.9%) of currently offer certain degree programs such as advanced Nursing programs, potential incoming freshmen Medical Technology, Advanced Design and Technology, Medicine, selected VSU as their first choice Pharmacy, and Engineering. An absence of these programs, coupled with college in 2008. student desire to obtain a degree in these areas, results in students leaving to earn the desired degree. Students interested in these programs may attend VSU for their core courses and then transfer. According to the VSU Summer Orientation Survey, more than half (52.9%) of potential incoming freshmen selected VSU as their first choice college in 2008 and 50.5% made VSU their first choice in 2009. Because of institutional course scheduling and varied levels of academic advising, some students may not move through a degree program in a timely manner, especially if they stop-out, take a reduced course load, or take courses out of sequence. Valdosta State University 3 February 2010 Solutions VSU will conduct a needs assessment and is expanding its program and course offerings in these fields to attract more students. For example, the College of Nursing has proposed two new degree programs and VSU is planning, with the USG, a major capital project for a new Health Sciences and Business Administration facility. In Fall 2009, VSU implemented DegreeWorks, a real-time advice and counsel advising system to assist students in reducing time to graduation and streamlining the graduation process. The system minimizes errors by offering consistent degree plans, reducing paperwork, and monitoring unique program changes. The impact of this change has yet to be realized. Financial Challenges The institution is serving more students with less state appropriation. From Fall 2008 to Fall 2009, enrollment increased 7.8%. General state appropriation per VSU student decreased 13.6% from $4,972 in FY09 to $4,295 in FY10. Over a two-year period, this is the equivalent of 1,000 students without state appropriations. Solutions With no additional state dollars, VSU accommodated these students by expanding course section size to ensure all students could create a full schedule of courses that apply to their degree. Engagement Challenges Nearly 50% of VSU's incoming VSU cannot change its location. It is located further south in the state than freshman class comes from the other four-year institution, and this often represents a long distance from Metro Atlanta area. home for our students. VSU will forever have this barrier, but can employ strategies to overcome it. While VSU has traditionally served the South Georgia region, now nearly 50% of incoming freshman come from the Metropolitan Atlanta area. Students find themselves approximately four hours from home and suggest that Valdosta lacks the entertainment options they are accustomed to in their home area. VSU cannot accommodate all students who apply to live on-campus. Students living off-campus have less opportunity to be engaged in VSU's academic and social events. Freshmen comprise 74.5% of the on-campus housing population and sophomores comprise 14.6%. Because the institution has a housing commitment to freshmen, a limited amount of housing space is available for sophomores, juniors, and seniors which results in a decrease of non-freshmen living on campus which can translate to a decrease in graduation rates. Solutions Increase the recruitment presence in Atlanta and promote online education opportunities for students living more than 50 miles away. By doing so, VSU admissions recruiters can attend more high school college recruitment fairs and distribute more marketing materials. Since Fall 2004, VSU's housing capacity has grown by 62.8% due to the construction of new residence halls and increased capacity during renovations. VSU is examining efficiencies in current residence halls in order to increase occupancy and continues to investigate locations for new residence halls. In the short-term, VSU is offering triple room accommodations to students. Although crowded, room tripling results in students being engaged on campus rather than living in off-campus housing that could be considered sub-standard. Valdosta State University 4 February 2010 VSU has instituted three administrative changes to promote student success and help the institution thrive. Strategic Focus In an effort to engage in a continuous, cyclical institutional planning process that adheres and effectively accomplishes the mission of VSU, a process entitled Strategic Focus is used. This effort is designed to foster growth that is specifically targeted towards one or more areas which the university community identified as key priorities (e.g., recruitment, retention, scholarship, or financial solvency). Proposals are requested and reviewed through an open process which includes the University's Planning and Budget Council. Projects are selected for funding based on overall impact as well as potential to generate long-term cost recovery. Strategic Focus is an annual process with distributed funds earmarked out of the annual budget. In fiscal year 2010, $1.7 million was distributed to 16 projects that advance VSU. Under the retention/graduation criteria, proposals have been funded that will: enhance student engagement (e.g., concert choir, marching band, athletics, extracurricular research, etc.); create learning communities that tie small cohorts of students to select faculty and specific curricular areas; develop special support for students from diverse backgrounds and cultures; and enhance support services in areas including physical health, mental health, tutoring, and disability accommodation. Dedicated Funding Pools Several dedicated funding pools have been established and are designed to move resource allocation closest to the mission. Graduate Stipends: This pool establishes criteria for award of stipends to attract and retain talented graduate assistants (i.e., graduate students performing work in their 75 new Graduate Assistantships field). For the 2009-10 academic year, 75 new Graduate School Strategic were created in 2009-10; Assistantship positions were created, increasing the total number of 37 directly reach freshmen. graduate assistants to 229. Of those 75, there are 37 positions that directly reach freshmen through instruction, advising, academic support, or housing. Academic Equipment/Maintenance and Major Scientific Equipment Purchases: This pool prioritizes requests for scientific equipment used in research and teaching with a cost exceeding $50,000. Priority is given for items that support multiple disciplines, are likely to be used in undergraduate research, and which directly enhance the instructional and/or research mission of the university. Reassigned Time for Student Engagement in Research: This pool prioritizes requests for faculty release time to engage in scholarly research appropriate to their discipline. This fund will partially support VSU's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) on Undergraduate Discipline-Based Inquiry (part of SACS reaffirmation) to enhance student-faculty engagement in research and creative activity. Pending approval from SACS, the QEP projects will be deployed beginning in Spring 2011. Mid-Term Grades Process In Fall 2007, for the first time, VSU provided mid-term grades to all students taking 1000- or 2000-level courses. As students receive mid-term progress reports, they are encouraged to talk with their advisors and faculty about their academic performance to discuss ways to improve the likelihood for a successful semester. Valdosta State University 5 February 2010 METRICS The most appropriate measures for success are the four-year and six-year graduation rates. Components of retention and graduation as they relate to Valdosta State University are explained in the below sections. National Graduation Rates Despite college and university programming efforts and extensive research conducted in the area of retention and graduation, graduation rates have remained stable at 50%. Graduation rates of students attending public four-year institutions have declined over the last two decades, with the average five-year graduation rate dropping from 52.2% in 1983 to 41.9% in 2001. In contrast, more selective public colleges and universities have graduation rates of 75% or higher. VSU Retention and Graduation Rates Table 1 contains VSU's institutional and system-wide retention and graduation rates from 1995 through 2008 (most recently available data). VSU's one-year retention rate of first time, full-time freshmen has remained constant in the low to mid-70th percentile. Both institutional four-year and six-year graduation rates have varied, which is consistent with the variation in the system-wide rates. Several factors contribute to the strength or weakness of the graduation rate: The distance of VSU from the Atlanta metropolitan area. Thesocioeconomic status of families in VSU's regional service area is lower than families from the metro, north Georgia regions. Lower graduation rates and lower average SAT scores, which are two factors of academic success in college, of feeder high schools to VSU. To successfully engage students on campus, national trends suggest institutions house at least 30% of their undergraduate population on campus; VSU can accommodate 25% but is working to increase this percentage. Some students in South Georgia are typically seeking only a bachelor's degree to secure employment. Students who enter the institution with high degree aspirations are more likely to complete at least a bachelor's degree. Transfers from VSU will be reported in the overall USG retention and graduation rates, but not necessarily VSU's institutional rate VSU regularly benchmarks against its peer institutions, including aspirational institutions. VSU is currently at 40% for the six-year bachelor graduation rate; the median graduation rate of aspirational institutions is 41%. The highest six-year bachelor graduation rate of the aspirational institutions was 51% and the lowest was 26%. With regard to retention rates, VSU currently has a retention rate of 71.5%; the median retention rate of aspirational institutions is 71%. The highest retention rate of the aspirational institutions was 77% and the lowest was 62%.

For example, students leaving for other programs within the University System of Georgia benefit the student by allowing the student to study in a program which may not be offered at VSU. VSU's system-wide retention rates and graduation rates have been approximately 10% higher than VSU's institutional rates, suggesting that VSU's loss is an overall gain for the System. THREE‐YEAR PLAN For the past one and a half years VSU has refocused efforts to increase student retention and graduation rates. The following methods are currently in operation or will be enacted during the next three years. Recruitment 12-City Tour: VSU has commenced a 12-City Tour throughout Georgia to recruit new students and better connect with alumni. Hire Additional Admissions Counselor for the Atlanta Area: Hiring a part-time admissions counselor to assist with college fairs, high school visits, and coordinating special events such as student receptions in Atlanta. Valdosta State University 7 February 2010 Expansion of the Athletic Band: Recruiting additional students to VSU by expanding the size of the Athletic Bands. To accomplish this, resources have been realigned to allow the Director of Athletic Bands sufficient time for additional recruiting throughout Georgia and nearby states. Chamber Singers Tour: Marketing directly to high school students with a two-day tour to Atlanta to target key demographic counties and help recruit quality students to Valdosta State University. There is a special focus on urban population centers that have been atypical recruiting locations such as churches and community centers in inter-city Atlanta. Annual Fundraising Campaign for Merit Scholarships: Generate external resources which further the institution's mission, including funding for merit scholarships. Last year, the VSU Foundation awarded approximately $377,000 in scholarships. Interactive Admissions Website with Virtual Video Tour: Software design and implementation of a competitive, interactive admissions website including a virtual video tour, short admissions videos by subject, and student testimonial videos. Additional Athletic Opportunities Women's Soccer: Development of a new women's intercollegiate sport, women's soccer. A coach was hired February 2010 and recruitment of student-athletes will take place in Spring and Summer 2010. Recruiting, scheduling, and purchasing equipment will take place in fiscal year 2011 with competition beginning in fiscal year 2012. Expansion of Academic Programs Online Degrees: To meet the growing demand for online degrees for graduate and undergraduate education, VSU is working to expand and transition current academic programs to an online format. Two programs currently under development are: Office Administration and Technology Degree: Development and implementation of an Online Baccalaureate Completion Program for nontraditional adult students in Office Administration and Technology. Online Criminal Justice Degrees: Provides course release time for two Criminal Justice faculty members to prepare the bachelor's and master's Criminal Justice curriculum for online delivery. Diversity Online Certificate in Spanish for Community Professionals: Implementation of a certificate which constitutes course work in Spanish that will benefit students who intend to enter professions such as Social Work, Criminal Justice, Social Services, Medical, Teaching, or Business Administration. Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL): Implementation of a track for majors in Spanish and French which may also be taken as a stand-alone Certificate Program. This Track/Certificate will be offered entirely online and, with vigorous marketing strategies, will reach the needs of future TESOL teachers both in the United States and abroad. At this time, there is no similar online track or certificate in Georgia. Changing Demographics: Because of the increasing Hispanic population, more students in Georgia and Florida speak Spanish as their primary language. VSU offers preparatory classes and limited modifications to serve students who are non-native English speakers. African American Students: VSU embraces diversity and targets minority VSU's African American students such as African Americans. At VSU, the Fall 2008 first time full- student retention rate was time cohort retention rate for African Americans was 73.5%, which is 1.8% 73.5%, above VSU's average of points above the institution's average of 71.7%. 71.7%in 2008. Student Organizations: VSU currently has 151 student organizations and these organizations represent many diverse interests for the student body. As the institution grows in enrollment, more organizations will be added. Valdosta State University 8 February 2010 Student Support Services To increase the student support services offered by VSU, study groups will be formed to research the feasibility of: One-stop Student Services; Summer Student Success Bridge Program; Block Scheduling/Prioritized Scheduling; Preferential Scheduling for 15 credit hours; Limited Withdrawals; and Early Alert System with common triggers such as financial record, academic record, health (mental and physical), conduct/discipline, Residence Hall director reports, and lack of engagement. Retention and Graduation of Students Living-Learning Communities: Students who select to live in one of the six living-learning communities (LLCs) live together in a designated block of rooms in a residence hall, take one or more courses together, and participate in activities specifically designed for their community. The Division of Student Affairs, the Office of Housing and Residence Life, and the OASIS Center for Advising and First Year Programs are collaborating to begin more than 50 new living-learning communities with one-third of the new incoming freshmen class in Fall 2010. The University currently operates six LLCs: Air Force ROTC, Emerging Leaders Program, Foreign Language House, Freshman Year Experience, University Honors Program, and Voicing Our Gender's Unity and Equality. Stop-Out Intervention Program: Establishment of a Stop-Out Intervention Program devoted to contacting students who have not returned to VSU to complete their course of study and referring these students to the appropriate campus department for assistance in returning. Opportunities for families to be involved with campus life: In January 2010, the Division of Student Affairs formally designated a coordinator of Parent Programs. This individual directs family members' engagements into the university in meaningful ways through annual activities and the Parent Resource Center. The intent is for informed parents to be supportive of their students thereby encouraging them to remain at the institution through events such as the Parent's and Family Association, Family Council, Visitation, Parent's and Family weekend, and a newsletter. Glorifying class standing transition: Little recognition is currently given to our students who surpass sophomore class standing to become juniors and our juniors who become seniors. The institution will investigate methods to recognize this achievement (such as a ceremony) to demonstrate to students the importance of class level transitions. Prominence of commencement: Student participation at commencement does not accurately represent the number of graduates. The institution will increase its on campus advertising to promote the significance and prominence of the commencement ceremony. Leadership programs: Through the Division of Student Affairs, the Emerging Leaders program is designed to engage new students at the time of initial enrollment. Growing components of the leadership programs include service learning and community involvement, which could be made ready for course credit. Maximizing Data Support An appointed study group or task force will create feasibility studies to evaluate the proposed projects and efforts. These studies will incorporate and maximize current national research and institutional data to make recommendations. Some information is regularly produced and could be helpful with these endeavors: Backlog Analysis: This report provides data on the number of available sections/seats to ensure that a full schedule for students is available. Weekly Enrollment Model: This report better connects enrollment to the institution's budget forecast. For example, as soon as enrollment changes, a portion of the increased revenue is proportioned for additional faculty for instruction. The remainder is apportioned to meet student academic and support needs. Valdosta State University 9 February 2010 GRADUATION AS A CAMPUS PRIORITY Valdosta State University recognizes the need to improve retention and graduation rates and has committed resources to develop programming and monitoring systems. Strategic Focus is an annual process that is currently underway for fiscal year 2011. This effort is designed to foster growth specifically targeted towards one or more areas the university community has identified as key priorities (recruitment, retention, scholarship, and financial resources). Proposals have been requested and are currently under review through an open process. VSU will connect faculty and staff merit increases to student success (i.e., retention and graduation). A critical merit -based faculty and staff salary increase pool, along with instructions for applying these increases, has been discussed and is in the process of being developed. Staff members are also directly connected to student success, whether it is an academic advisor, financial aid counselor, or public safety officer. Good customer service can retain students. VSU's faculty members are closest to the mission, therefore they are the principal individuals able to create a culture of student success. The Faculty Senate, Council on Staff Affairs, and Student Government Association provide voting representatives to all the University's committees and councils. Stakeholder representation is integrated into campus budgeting and planning via the Planning and Budget Council, of which a principal responsibility is the Strategic Focus program. Standards and incentives for promotion and tenure as well as salary increases (when available) will be evaluated to emphasize retention and graduation. Our stakeholders outside the campus, such as alumni and community members, are able to monitor activities through various media such as the school's website, alumni magazine, student newspaper, Board of Regents website, and local newspaper. To involve key stakeholders, the VSU Office of Communications will use various media sources to advertise and promote successful campus efforts such as: website features of successful students, successful faculty, successful staff, and student testimonials; more television, radio, and press releases; televised and online streaming of the university's biannual convocation. The programs and plans mentioned in this report are only a sample of the daily efforts the faculty, staff, and administrators at Valdosta State perform to reach students and to help them become productive citizens.

RenalTech International Presents New Technology to Improve Dialysis at BIO '99 Conference.
RenalTech's polymer technology enhances removal of a class of blood toxins known as middle molecular weight toxins. Recent research has demonstrated a correlation between these toxins and patient mortality, as well as specific effects of these toxins, including destructive arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome, immune system inhibition, and susceptibility to infection and chronic malnutrition.
"Dialysis patients constantly suffer from side effects or morbidity due to the inability of the current dialysis procedure to effectively remove middle molecular weight toxins. These toxins can cause severe health conditions and may be one of the causes of premature death in dialysis patients," said Andrew Braverman, RenalTech President, who, with his executive team, presented the technology at the BIO meeting. "New studies have shown the substantial health benefits to dialysis patients when even a small amount of these toxins are removed."
BIO'99 showcases biotechnology's progress and the industry's leading companies. RenalTech was among 36 companies selected to present. An estimated 5,000 attendees from 40 nations were expected at this year's exhibition.
Dialysis and middle molecular weight toxins
Current hemodialysis technology purifies blood by efficiently removing small molecules, such as salts and urea, as well as excess water. However, as toxic molecules increase in size, the ability to remove them utilizing standard dialysis procedures is sharply reduced. Only 10% to 40% of these larger molecules, called middle molecular weight molecules, are removed during a typical dialysis session.
RenalTech's polymer technology
RenalTech chemists have designed technologically advanced polymeric adsorbents to remove toxins from human blood in conjunction with the dialysis procedure. RenalTech's proprietary polymer has eliminated up to 98% of the middle molecular toxin beta-2 microglobulin during simulated four-hour in vitro hemoperfusion experiments.
The polymer has also been tested against many other middle molecular weight toxins. Removal rates for each of these toxins in simulated in vitro hemoperfusion sessions are 86% or greater. RenalTech scientists note that in vivo removal rates for beta-2 microglobulin and other toxins are unknown. Human clinical studies of the removal rate of beta-2 microglobulin are anticipated to begin later this year.
The RenalTech device will be marketed as a complement to current dialysis systems. RenalTech anticipates filing a 510(k) application with the FDA in the fourth quarter, and currently is working with one of the world's leading polymer manufacturers to prepare for large-scale manufacturing of its adsorbent polymer.
Chronic kidney failure
Last year, in the United States, approximately 225,000 patients required hemodialysis an average of three times per week. The dialysis patient population is growing at a rate of 6%-7% annually, driven in part by increased incidence of diabetes and hypertension, which ultimately can lead to kidney failure.
When kidneys fail, there are two options: transplantation or a form of dialysis -- usually hemodialysis. Hemodialysis removes toxic waste products and excess fluids from the blood extracorporeally, with the blood flowing outside the body through plastic tubes connected to a specially designed filter known as a dialyzer.
With over 40 million dialysis sessions performed last year, RenalTech believes that if its polymer cartridge demonstrates significant improvement in outcome for these patients, it will be appropriate for use in all individual hemodialysis sessions.
RenalTech background
Based in New York City, RenalTech International was founded in 1997 to identify and develop medical applications for its proprietary adsorbent polymer technology. RenalTech initially is focusing on applying its innovative technologies to improve the quality of life and extend the life span of over 800,000 chronic renal (kidney) failure patients worldwide.
Earlier this year, RenalTech was selected to present at the Alley to the Valley conference co-sponsored by the New York City Economic Development Corporation featuring the city's most promising high-technology companies.

Winners were honored at association's annual convention.
The National Demolition Association (NDA), Doylestown, Pa., has presented its Third Annual Environmental Excellence Awards to five companies that the association has determined have performed demolition projects that demonstrate significant environmental conservation and community improvement, while bringing about a discernible positive impact on the quality of life in the U.S. and Canada.
"The Environmental Excellence Awards recognize NDA member companies which are true leaders in environmental stewardship," says Michael Taylor, NDA executive director. "Environmental stewardship is one of the demolition industry's primary missions and these winning projects help illustrate truly dramatic efforts our members have made to make this a reality."
The winning projects were honored at the National Demolition Association's 40th Annual Convention in San Deigo.
Winning projects are as follows:
Mohave Generating Station, Laughlin, Nevada, NCM Demolition & Remediation, Brea, Calif.
NCM is currently decommissioning Southern California Edison's Mohave Generating Station in Laughlin, Nevada. The power plant is a 1,580 megawatt, coal-fired electric generating station situated on 3,000 acres adjacent to the Colorado River. The facility has 217 acres of storage ponds, evaporating ponds, and a 300-acre landfill. The scope of NCM's scope of services includes asset recov ery, asbestos abatement, hazardous materials handling, structural demolition, relocations of pond contents, and closure of the on-site landfill.

Nintendo's Wii console provides backward compatibility with the GameCube console, allowing you to play older games on the new device as long as the appropriate controllers and memory cards are available. All models of the Wii are compatible with GameCube games except for the Wii Family Edition console, which is identified by the lack of GameCube controller ports on top of the device.
The Wii automatically detects which type of game disc is inserted, so feed your GameCube game into the drive as normal. Lift the panel on the top of the device to reveal the four GameCube ports and GameCube memory card slots. If you want to save your GameCube games, insert a GameCube memory card into an available slot, and then connect a GameCube controller to one of the controller ports. Your Wii is now ready to load the GameCube game by selecting its icon on the home channel.
GameCube-compatible controllers must be used to play GameCube games on the Wii. When connecting a GameCube controller to the Wii, the USB and Bluetooth functions are automatically switched off, prohibiting the use of the Wii Remote or Classic Controller in GameCube games. However, wireless GameCube controllers will work on the Wii by connecting the wireless adaptor to one of the console's GameCube ports. Up to four GameCube controllers can be connected to the Wii at once, allowing multiplayer GameCube games to work.
Some GameCube games include additional functions such as LAN-connected multiplayer games, online play and hardware add-ons that are not available via the Wii. The GameCube's Game Boy Player accessory -- which allowed Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games to be played on a TV -- cannot be connected to the Wii. Online support for GameCube games was suspended by Nintendo in 2007, prohibiting the use of connectivity features through the Wii or the GameCube console itself.
Some early versions of the Wii's operating system caused audio issues, such as skipping or static noise when running a GameCube game. This problem was resolved in an operating system update, which should be performed if you experience sound problems when playing GameCube titles. Open the "System Settings" page on the Wii's Home Channel and click the blue page-turn button twice to open the "Wii System Settings 3" page. Select "Wii System Update," followed by "Yes." Click "I Accept" to update the Wii's operating system.

Rev. Jason Duley
Senior Pastor
So, why in the world would I want to be a pastor? I get that a lot. For me, it's a deep, personal sense of gratitude. God has given me life and in return I am giving my life in service to God and people. Too much religion in the world focuses on rituals unrelated to relevant service to help people in everyday life. Religions tend toward routines, rubbing sacred stones, bathing in sacred waters, striding up sacred stairs. Stop. Just stop. Let me spend my time serving the needs of the hungry, the hurting; teaching the Bible and befriending the spiritually homeless.
But enough about me. Come to Galilee, where Jesus made his home, and said practically: "I have not come to be served, but to serve…"
Rev. Matthew Sergent
Associate Pastor – Leisure World
I am so grateful to be working as the pastor of Older Adult Ministries at Galilee and the Leisure World community. I remember in my youth "sitting at the feet of my elders," listening to the great stories of the faith. My sense of God's call to become a pastor began when I was just fifteen years old, but during college I dismissed that idea. Not long after graduating from college I became a police officer, eventually becoming a Captain in the Falls Church City Police Department. Even though my sense of calling diminished for a time, it never completely went away. It has always been rooted deep within the marrow of my bones, and over time it began to reveal itself again. I finally realized I could fight it no longer; so when the opportunity came to be the associate pastor of Galilee and the pastor of the Older Adult Ministries program, I happily agreed and answered God's call to ministry. I did not think it would be easy leaving law enforcement after twenty years, but I must say I could not be happier in my decision! God is so good in so many ways!
I believe my greatest usefulness as a minister is my witness to and love for the Good News of the Gospel. I love to tell the story of Christ's love for us all, just as my elders told me the stories when I was young.
In my free time, I usually like to run off to the beach or mountains with my family. And now that I have completed my seminary studies, I am looking forward to getting back to some of my favorite hobbies such as fishing, golfing and photography.

SDSU coach says Kerri Young to be impact player, 'if not starter'
Kerri Young has the ability to be an impact player, if not starter, for the South Dakota State University women's basketball team, said head coach Aaron Johnston.
"She has natural gifts," said Johnston, who would not disclose his starters in a phone interview Thursday. "She's very fast and instinctive and all the things you want in a player."

text: Francis Bowie Francis Bowie Los Angeles // Copenhagen Contact: Michael Jones KounterKulture Mgmt+Media firstname.lastname@example.com http://www.FrancisBowie.com " Francis Bowie is like a powerful drug – you can't help but get sucked in after you're exposed to him once. " - EVOR " Intelligent Pop Music has found itself a champion in this Prince of Denmark. " - Best Radio For Miles " The music is highly original, unpredictable as hell and pushes the envelope hard. It's strong suit – the amazing creative genius of Francis Bowie. I really admire artists out there who are themselves and just let the chips fall where they may. Praise goes out to the artist that can show us something real and genuine beneath their veil of vanity. Francis Bowie is one of those artists." - IndieMusicDigest "... Bowie's EP is perfect example that one does not need to sell their soul to make music that is incredibly catchy and impactful.... Francis Bowie is able to insert more of himself in the course of four tracks than many musicians can do over the course of a full album. " - NeuFutur Magazine "So if you're a Depeche Mode die-hard, or even fancy current million-dollar selling artists, like Calvin Harris or Owl City, this album will keep you pointing in the right direction... " - JamSphere "Bowie is not only an artist but an entertainer that does not stop until he knows you have been musically satisfied. You walk away feeling uplifted with an uncontrollable urge to smile." - Skope Magazine "… This is one artist that brings to the table effective songwriting with an amazing yet passionate visual/vocal appeal meshed with a thought provoking yet superlative Alternative Rock sound... Reminded me of a cross between Muse and Iggy Pop.. Overall it was an emotional journey which will have the ladies wanting his full length release this Summer." - Rock n´ Roll view " Francis Bowie achieves exactly what he seeks, and hopefully is able to continue his work in improving what the genre of pop is all about.. " - Ultima Music Blog ".. Another gem is the opener "Endlessly" which bops out of the speakers like a mash up between Boy George and Prince. A groovy love song which has a sort of surprising innocence, delivered in a rich vocal reminiscent of Jack from "Nightmare Before Christmas" - a phenomenal score.. " - Working Rythms " From start to finish this EP from Bowie presents a very evil genius type of mystique but is very groovy and danceable. Trust me when I say this artist is somehow a bit scarier than Marilyn Manson. Let me go on record to say he's one of the more brilliant artists I've ever heard. " - MusicEmissions " ... With a strong new wave influence coupled with modern day electronica, Francis shows some strong pop sensibility and I look forward to hearing more from this slightly eccentric songwriter..." - BL Rag " Multitalented Dane Francis Bowie provides the perfect soundtrack for the approaching summer months.." - Piano and Synth "..Picture Duran Duran and Unkle with dreadlocks..." - Indie Music Musings " .. Francis Bowie is a phenomenom at the music and art scene in Denmark: A singer, song writer, painter, sculptor, designer, writer and gallery owner. In Copenhagen 2007, he opened his first art gallery called GalArtery while also releasing the debut album "Too Much" with his indie art rock band "A LOVE YOU". Within the next two years, GalArtery became a place where young artists could and do their shows and performances. After touring a lot with A LOVE YOU, Francis decides in 2010 to leave the band for a while to do solo projects. In the spring 2011 - along with two designers - he opened a second art gallery called MATT 18, which also shows fashion, clothing and design. Francis Bowie proclaim himself as the founder of the new music genre called Intelligent Pop Music or IPM. He says that he is very astonished and disappointed by many pop musicians and producers currently because it seems like the only purpose of their music is to generate money. Quality, art, message, love, feelings, justice, politics, poverty and power seem to be forgotten in the race for a stupid radio hit. Francis Bowie does not think that pop music should deal with all these matters or be complex. But he does not think either that pop music shall be as ignorant as it is today. With his own words; "IPM is an attempt to put some quality, dignity and honor into pop music " - Rising Magazine Sounds Sex Drugs & Thrilling by Francis Bowie published on 2014/10/18 12:38:44 +0000 Sunny Day (Radio Edit 2014) by Francis Bowie published on 2014/05/21 13:17:48 +0000 Number One by Francis Bowie published on 2014/02/14 11:09:13 +0000 Shadows Of The Stars by Francis Bowie published on 2012/12/04 02:08:59 +0000 What Have We Done by Francis Bowie published on 2012/11/05 08:33:09 +0000 ART ZOO by Francis Bowie published on 2012/10/29 08:34:54 +0000 Fuckgive Her by Francis Bowie published on 2012/10/22 08:25:00 +0000 Cathedral by Francis Bowie published on 2012/08/03 23:08:52 +0000 I Feel So Alone by Francis Bowie published on 2012/02/08 19:53:01 +0000 Wasting My Time by Francis Bowie published on 2011/04/14 11:47:05 +0000

Thanks for all the information dudes! It tastes good, it's just flat. I had other higher OG beers that were carbonated after 7 days.(not completely carbonated) I never brewed a pumpkin beer before and was thinking it may take longer to carbonate because the characteristics of the pumpkin playing a part. Anyway, I'm gonna let it chill for a few weeks and see how it develops.
So its 6 days after bottling (used table sugar) its nicely carbed and an amazing beer. Will be a must make from now on!
Primary:lambic x2
Bottled: Pumpkin ale,Irish Stout, Jet fuel Cider, Sweet Cider, vanilla bourbon porter, deception stout
I forgot to thank you for the recipe. It turned out GREAT!
mine turned out great as well.. had this and a black IPA for a party, along with some commercials for the people who may want to have drank others.. but both of mine were a hit! thanks!
~ A fine beer may be judged with only one sip, but it's better to be thoroughly sure.DOWN THE HATCH BREWINGStainless Hop Spider | Wooden Brew Rig | Dual Hinge Keezer BuildPrimary: Apfelwein
Keg 1: Nugget Nectar Clone | Keg 2: Breakfast Stout | Keg 3: Oaked Bourbon Vanilla Porter
Bottles: lots full and even more empty
My SWMBO told me to order enough ingredients to make this again. She said it was the best beer I have made so far. She must have liked it, I think I only got about 5 or 6 pints out of the keg. She drank the rest.
I have 5g. of this in the keg at just over 4 weeks total age (2 primary, 2 in keg) and it's really come around. A great beer, sweet, some squashy pumpkiny quality, and the spice of pumpkin pie. Having a Halloween party this Saturday and I think this will be a hit.
_________________________________Skal! Den Faaborg Bryggeri
To those of you that steep the pumpkin puree before the mash, what are you putting the pumpkin in? I may do this the next time I brew this because the BIAB grain bag was super heavy with the pumpkin in there with the grains.
When I did mine, I threw the pumpkin in disposable hop bags and steeped them in the water as I heated my mash and sparge water. Turned out great!
I'm mashing my first attempt at this brew as I type. Not going to be ready for Halloween but should be keg'd and carb'd by Thanksgiving. Thanks for the recipe!

Hi: 10° Lo:5°
By Steve Carpenter Wednesday 16 January 2013 Updated: 16/01 13:32
A MEETING at home to local rivals Dudley Heathens beckons for Coventry Storm – the city's new National League speedway outfit.
The Storm are set to face the Heathens at Brandon on March 22.
They will also provide Dudley's first home opposition of 2013 as they visit Monmore Green for the second leg on Tuesday April 9.
The meetings will bring back memories of the classic Coventry/Cradley Heath clashes which were such a highlight of the top-flight calendar until the Heathens lost their Dudley Wood home in 1995.
Their re-birth three years ago as Dudley, racing at Wolverhampton but seeking land for a stadium of their own, has been an unqualified success and after controversially missing out on the league title by a single point last season they have assembled another powerful-looking line-up in 2013.
"It's great to be able to race Dudley in the first meeting of our new National League venture," said Coventry co-boss Blayne Scroggins.
"They will certainly be the favourites for honours again this season, they are a top team at this level and they will certainly be a stern test for our boys, but this is what I am looking for as we prepare for the start of the league.
"It's also great to see the old rivalry between Coventry and the Heathens back on track after an absence of too many years.
"I'm sure Dudley will bring massive support to Brandon so I hope lots of the Bees fans turn out to support the Storm in their first meeting of season."
The fixtures have received backing from Travel Plus Tours which means silverware will be on offer for the two-legged encounter.
The two sides will be racing for the Travel Plus Trophy after Suffolk-based businessman James Easter gave his support to the tie.
Mr Easter will be using the meetings to promote his numerous trips to Grand Prix and World Cup events, and both clubs are delighted he has come forward with the sponsorship deal.

So, take a look at the results for this:
In cleartext:
- Origin: 2160 Barnes Ave, Bronx, NY
- Destination: 2160 Barnes Ave, Bronx, NY
When I do the search, it returns:
- 2160 Barnes Ave, Mt Vernon, NY
I'm highly suspect this is not expected behavior.
When I try the address in Google Maps, I get the correct location, so the address exists I'm not typing it wrong. https://maps.google.com/maps?q=2160+Barnes+Ave,+Bronx,+NY
Now look what happens when I search for the same street adding a "near Bronx, NY" clause:
Is there something I'm doing wrong? As of now, I feel like I would have to search for:
{Address}, {City}, {State} near {City}, {State}
If I put the zip code, it works fine, but I won't always have the zip code available.
Google's support group says that I should use StackOverflow vs official forums. So... help?

Tomatoes Forming but not ripening
Having an unusual problem in my greenhouse (small, personal use only) with my tomatoes this year, my old reliable plant variety (a Cobra derivative) is not ripening fruit. Lots of green tomatoes on the plant, with plenty of healthy foliage and new flowers, but the fruit never ripens. Typically this variety will ripen fruit and continue to produce new fruit throughout the season. This year there are new flowers and fruit setting, but the older fruits just stay green.
There is one difference this year from past seasons: I grafted a couple of tomatoes onto commercial rootstock. I did this because I was seeing some disease problems with toms in the GH and thought that grafting onto resistant roots might help. And it may have, we are 60% of the way through the season and no signs of disease yet which is way better than last and previous years.
However both grafted tomatoes (this Cobra and a cherry) are growing way more leaves than usual and the cherry is producing somewhat fewer flowers and fruit than usual. I don't believe that I have increased the level of N over past years, but have not had the soil analyzed this year either. And we have had more rainy weather this summer than typical (although that only effects the amount of sun and temps in the GH).
I am just curious if anyone knows if one of the effects of grafting tomatoes onto commercial rootstock is a delay in the ripening of fruit? Any other things which might be causing this?
I had lots of tomatoes ripening daily when the temperatures hit 100F each afternoon. Now that temperatures only get to near 90F green tomatoes just hang there for two weeks. I asked on this forum and the one response was that 90F should be an ideal temperature. This time the answer seems to be potassium. Hummm?
MMMM! From what I read on the Florida Gardening site, they stop fruiting at 90 degrees. Sorry I don't know why this is happening to you. I grew 3 types of heirloom tomatoes this year and I really wasn't impressed with how they grew or how little they produced or how they tasted had a well composted hugel. The basils and flowers grew like crazy.
Another point is that, tomatoes can stay in green/growth stage for a LONG time(40 day ?). with large fruits it can even take longer. So, if there have bee new sets(late comers) , it will take them a while to grow and ripen.
And yet another point: In zone 5, CO, if the wether has been cooling off, it will slow down both growth and ripening.
The other point, already mentioned, is that if you fertilized with nitrogen rich stuff, the plant will concentrate on foiliage growth.

' Rongsheng increasingly looks too sick to sail; is it also too big to fail?'
---- ----
Cherry picking private ship builder 'Rongsheng' and the photo concerning it for the article is misrepresenting the overall picture of Chinese shipyards.
Tonnage wise, China is world's biggest ship builder (South Korea is the second and Japan is the third biggest). The bulk of major ship buildings in China are done by four big shipyard groups and they are all state owned. The super heavy overhang lifting crane (to 800 tons?) used in a British shipyard building the new British aircraft carrier is made by one of these big four groups for example.
And then there are over 1,400 much smaller (relative to the big four) and mostly private or locally owned ship builders in China for a variety of boats, ships and yachts. None of them, include 'Rongsheng' featured in this article is 'too big to fail'.
For them the downturn in world shipyard business actually provides an opportunity to consolidate the smaller and to weed out the weak. Some experts in the business have said that as many as one third of these 1,400 shipyards will be merged, sold or go out of business by the end of this downturn cycle, and that's not bad news at all to China's ship building industry.
