Undergraduate Researcher Profiled in MSU TodayRead More …
An undergraduate researcher who overcame significant barriers on his journey to Michigan State has been profiled in a recent edition of MSU Today. The son of an Iranian father and an Egyptian mother, Raeuf Roushangar grew up in Cairo. A practitioner of the Baha'i faith, Raeuf faced chronic discrimination: "My classmates and their families shunned me. To survive the hate, I had to adapt. To live through the agony, I had to mature more quickly." This persisted through university, where Raeuf was suspended from Cairo University because of his faith. Concluding that he would need to leave Egypt to complete his university education, Raeuf traveled to Grand Rapids, where some of his relatives lived. He completed taking classes at Grand Rapids Community College, transferring to Michigan State after two years. At MSU he found a position as an undergraduate research assistant with Dr. Brian Schutte (Microbiology and Molecular Genetics). Raeuf also works closely with graduate student Youssef Kousa, a fellow Egyptian who has helped mentor him. You can read the full story at MSU Today.

Does anybody here work in a brewery? I am a mechanical engineering student in my junior year and I have a strong desire to work in a brewery. I know that breweries hire engineers. Could anybody tell me what it is that engineers do in a brewery? I know it seems like a stupid question, but I really can't think of what they would be doing. Is it heard of for smaller breweries to offer internships?
I'm not sure if anybody is going to be able to answer these things, but thanks in advance anyway.
Though I don't work in a brewery I am sure they have process monitoring and control systems in place. This falls more into Industrial/Electrical engineering. Most places don't have an engineer on staff and use engineering firms to design, install, and maintain these systems.
I worked at a small brewery in the late 80's and the only engineers ever hired were the ones who designed the brew house.
+1 to above.
You might be able to get a position at one of the very large breweries, but you're probably better off looking into a brewing equipment company. A ME's expertise would be more useful there.
Furthermore, my understanding after talking to Eric (the brewer at Rochester Mills in Rochester, MI) is that getting into most smaller breweries is a matter of right resume, right time.
Brewers, assistant brewers and other brewery/bar employees generally aren't paid very well, also. As a junior, I'm sure you've looked up the average starting salary for MEs. Take the average pay and divide it in half, you might be able to find that.
I agree with what is said above. Come up to Alaska and work with me moving oil through pipes and just brew for fun.

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

Alternative to Japanese Maple
I've got a modern house outside of Chicago, and I'd like to make my landscape modern as well (not prairie). My first idea is a Japanese Maple, but the site for it has unrelenting afternoon sun -- a straight West exposure. I also thought pagoda dogwood, but I believe that's a shade tree. And Nandina isn't meant for zone 5. Any ideas? I really like horizontal branching and a lacy look. I have some Viburnum mariesii, but I don't think they'd get tall enough. I need 8-15'.
Thanks for any help!
I also live in Chicagoland and after losing three Japanese Maples to the northwest wind, I tried Sambuca both 'Sutherland Gold' and 'Black Lace'. Sutherland is now four years old and ten feet high - Black Lace is two years old and I've kept that one shorter and shrubbier because I need the shade in that spot for hosta. They are actually giant shrubs but I've been pruning the heck out of them and they're gorgeous - look just like JM's.

A Perspective on Health Literacy's Past, Present, and Future
Posted Nov 17 2012 9:32pm
This is a guest post by Helen Osborne.
December 1995 was the first time I ever heard the term "health literacy." I was working as an occupational therapist on a psychiatric unit at a small, community-based hospital in Boston, MA. I had just read a research article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). It was titled "Inadequate Functional Health Literacy Among Patients at Two Public Hospitals," written by Williams, Parker, Baker et al. The authors of this article concluded, "Many patients at our institutions cannot perform the basic reading tasks required to function in the health care environment. Inadequate health literacy may be an important barrier to patients' understanding of their diagnoses and treatments, and to receiving high-quality care." Read more @ http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=392214
That article was an "Aha!" moment for me. With this new perspective, I critically examined my worksheets, which I had thought were well written. I realised to my dismay that many of my patients who came from different cultures and educational levels might have a hard time making sense of them. I didn't need more convincing that health literacy mattered. Indeed, I was part of the problem. Now, I wanted to be part of the solution.
But what could I do? At the time there was little guidance. Other than this one research article, the only other resource I could find was the (ever-excellent) book by Doak, Doak, and Root, Teaching Patients with Low Literacy Skills (@ http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/healthliteracy/resources/doak-book/)
Nonetheless, I forged ahead. I introduced my healthcare colleagues to the concept of health literacy. I introduced myself to those outside of healthcare who knew a lot about literacy, teaching, and communication. And I met fellow health literacy advocates who came from many sectors including public health, academia, adult education, and pharmaceutical companies.
But outside this group, health literacy was still not widely known. So in 1999 I posted a message on a health literacy listserv (an online discussion group) asking what others thought about creating an awareness-raising campaign. Honestly, I expected little response. I was stunned when many replied "Great idea. What are YOU going to do?" And so Health Literacy Month began. This annual awareness-raising event has been celebrated worldwide ever since (@ http://www.healthliteracymonth.org).
Over time, health literacy commanded more attention. A significant turning point was in 2004 when the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies published a landmark report, Health Literacy: A Prescription to End Confusion. Its executive summary states, "Nearly half of all American adults—90 million people—have difficulty understanding and acting on health information." (@ http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?isbn=0309091179 )
In the last decade especially, there have been thousands of peer-reviewed research studies confirming that health literacy is a serious and pervasive problem with costly consequences. You can find links to many of these studies at the US National Network of Libraries of Medicine website, @ http://nnlm.gov/outreach/consumer/hlthlit.html.
Government leaders, too, are getting more involved in health literacy. Starting in 2010, the US is at what some refer to as a health literacy "tipping point" with the enactment of several significant laws and policy recommendations. These include
National Action Plan to Improve Health Literacy, with seven goals to improve health literacy and suggested strategies for achieving them. @ http://www.health.gov/communication/hlactionplan/
Plain Writing Act of 2010. A law requiring that federal agencies communicate in ways that the public can understand and use. @ http://www.plainlanguage.gov/plLaw/index.cfm
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (often referred to as "healthcare reform"). This includes several direct and indirect references to health literacy. @ http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2011/Health-Literacy-Implications-for-Health-Care-Reform.aspx )
Health Literacy Universal Precautions Toolkit, commissioned by the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). @ http://www.ahrq.gov/qual/literacy/
You can hear Dr. Howard Koh, Assistant Secretary for the US Department of Health and Human Services, discuss these and other health literacy milestones at @ http://healthliteracy.com/hlol-koh
Health literacy is also getting worldwide attention. In September 2012, the Institute of Medicine's Health Literacy Roundtable commissioned a report by Andrew Pleasant PhD of Canyon Ranch Institute that summarises international health literacy activities. Learn more @ http://www.iom.edu/~/media/Files/Activity%20Files/PublicHealth/HealthLiteracy/2012-SEP-24/WorldHealthLit.pdf
Many people are working hard to communicate health information more clearly. Strategies run the gamut from "low-tech" techniques such as writing in plain language and using pictures to "high-tech" options including audio and video teaching tools, interactive websites, and technology-based self-care devices. One resource to learn more about such strategies is my book, Health Literacy from A to Z: Practical Ways to Communicate Your Health Message, Second Edition, @ http://www.jblearning.com/catalog/9781449600532/
What's next for health literacy? While of course the future is unknown, I foresee the development of many more strategies to improve how we communicate about health. I also hope that research will focus more of its attention on the economic benefits of communicating clearly rather than just looking at the costs of misunderstanding. Once we establish the business case for investing in health literacy, the movement can grow exponentially. And given the growing amount of international interest, I anticipate many exciting opportunities for worldwide partnerships, collaborations, and innovation. Indeed, we all truly are part of health literacy solutions.
HELP is organizing a conference on " Putting Patients First Through Health Literacy ". This will be on Sunday, 2nd December'12 at Nehru Center at 10.30a.m. to 1.p.m. The website is
The conference will be followed by a health literacy workshop in the afternoon. Helen Osborne, President, Health Literacy, a world renowned Consultant from US , will be delivering the keynote and conducting the workshop. Her website is at
At this time, we will be releasing the book, Deciphering Medical Gobbledygook: Promoting Health Literacy to Put Patients First , authored by Dr Aniruddha Malpani and Juliette Siegfried. This is Chapter 4 from that book

Peaches for Zone9A/B
Got my heart set on growing a couple of peach trees next spring. I only have room for 2 and will grow them in 1/2 55 gallon drums. Im in South Houston Tx close to the bay. The varieties Im interested in are Tropic Sweet, Tropic Beauty and Tropic Snow. Any advice on potting mix for peaches and these varieties or others would be appreciated.
Bam, I dont have room in my back yard to make a couple 8ft raised beds. Im limited on where I can plant in my back yard due to drainage. I have to plant against my back fence because it slopes away from my house to the street. Once you move 10ft into my yard from the back fence it slopes the other direction towards my house and the ground stays wet for a long time after rains. The soil is almost all clay and drainage really sucks! Not only that, but Ive got the back fence pretty much taken up with citrus and palm trees now. Also I want to see how well they do here before I go and spend the money and time on 2 huge raised beds to plant them in. Its more of an experiment at this point. If they do well here, which I believe they will, then I can go to plan B.
I have a friend here locally that sits on a ridge of sand that is infested with some sort of nematode that makes growing almost anything virtually impossible. If you think I grow a lot of different fruiting plants you should see his list lol. He has now resorted to growing everything in those 30 gallon (half barrel pots). His peach trees grow great in them. He sinks the barrels 3/4 of the way in the ground. Not sure what soil mix he uses though.
I would like to be able to sink my big pots in the ground too but I cant even do that. Ive got a meyer lemon that I dug a big ole hole in the clay for and filled the hole with everything execpt the soil I dug from the hole. Ive been told it will die by several people now cause I created a tub for the roots to sit in when it rains. Its been doing good for 2 years now and we have had several heavy down poors but not one big enough to drown it yet. I know its bound to happen sooner or later though. Im hoping fruitnut will chime in on his soil mix he uses for his peach trees.
I've found that rootstock doesn't make much difference in tree size. They are all dwarfed by the small soil volume. However rootstock may make a difference in how soon the plant becomes root bound, but I'm not sure. What I am sure about is a 30 gallon pot is a brutal task to repot. You'd do better buying a new tree and starting over.
My longest lasting fruits in a pot have been a grape and a blueberry both about 8 years. Most stone fruit in a 15 gal are good for 4-5 years. Then they need a repot or new tree.
Thanks for the tips. Dont know exactly what Im going to do yet. All I know is I have 3 55 gallon drums that I need to do something with. Maybe Im better off putting Blues in them? I know they can live a long time in there. I do have several 15 gallon pots as well and 4 years would give me plenty of peaches and time to see how they do in my area. Thanks again.

Implant Direct Announces Move to State-of-the-Art Manufacturing and Design Facility
Posted on June 17, 2014
Implant Direct is pleased to announce an expansion of its current CustomDirectTM Headquarters and Manufacturing and Design Facility in Thousand Oaks, California. The company, which created the "value segment" of the implant industry in 2006, continues to experience record growth in 2014. Recognizing the needs of its associates and customers, Implant Direct will be relocating its current Calabasas operations to new space in its state-of-the-art Thousand Oaks Operations hub. This facility will include Manufacturing, Research & Development, Human Resources, Product Development, Regulatory and Accounting. With this eight mile move from Calabasas to Thousand Oaks, Implant Direct will increase the size of its manufacturing footprint.

Another Game 2 word game!
ravencajun Zone 8b TXJuly 3, 2012
I think everyone is enjoying the various new games and it keeps the forum moving and active so here is another one from another forum I am on.
In this game someone starts off with two words, the next person has to use the last word, in creating their two word combination.
Here are some examples...
green pea
next poster > pea soup
next poster > soup spoon
next poster > spoon handle
next poster > handle well
next poster > well okay
next poster > okay fine
next poster > fine china
so our word to use is China
my response is China Doll

Heather Ale
10 lbs. 2-row
1 lb. 2 oz. Crystal 40
14 oz. Brown Malt
Mashed at 154 for 60 min.
Boil for 60 min.
3 oz dried heather flower (60 min boil)
5 oz dried heather flower (5 min)
I fermented with Safale 05 to bring out the heather flavor. Everything turned out great, for being a complete experiment. Very prominent heather flavor. Very floral smell. Turned out to be a great way to celebrate my lady's birthday. We also played putt putt, raced go-carts, and played laser tag.
Ive made this before and it was very well received by my homebrew club but my recipe also uses hops. So Im giving you my recipe minus the hops.
Witch Doctor Pale Ale...gruit in your case.
Mash @ 150 for 60 min. Ferment @ 65 for 17-21 days.
SafeAle US-05
6.5# 2row
4.5# Golden Promise
1# Clear Candi Sugar (added @ 30 min left in boil)
10 oz Pure Grade B Maple syrup (added 2nd day of active fermentation)
2 grams Bog Myrtle (add as your "bittering hop" addition)
8 oz dried elderberries (added with 15 min left in boil)

I have not brewed it yet... but I bought some dan shen from the chinese market to bitter an asian themed gruit.
If you're not aging your beer I think any bittering agent should work just fine.
You can also experiment with green springtime conifer growth... lots of commercial beers use spruce at least as an additive, and there's a local microbrewery which produces a very respectably beer-tasting porter "hopped" just with redwood tips.
I hear if you pick 'em young and light green, you get almost-citrusy notes without an overwhelming amount of pineyness... I'm looking forward to experimenting with this next spring.
I'm thinking of doing a milk thistle gruit next year.. researching which ones arnt poisonous so I don't kill myself
I've got a heather and a sage in primary but find add a small amount of hops to those.. did a dandelion bitter at the end of spring from the homebrewers garden book..
Try to find some "Sahti" recipes. It's a Finnish beer made without hops. The BrewingTV Sahti episode is one of my favorites and I always wanted to try it.
I have some rosemary growing outside and some wormwood in my cabinet I shall try both, in different batches. So do you think the sub for hops is 1:1 with these or should I try different amounts?

"Forbidden Bond" series book 1,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Unbound (The Forbidden Bond Series Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
Danielle (Dani) Vaughn's life is about to be turned upside down. Not only has she just left home to start college, she uncovers a supernatural world that she is a part of. Dani's mother is a psychic who has hidden the fact that Dani's father is a vampire now bonded to another woman and raising a family. Dani is the first ever human/vampire hybrid to survive, and her combined psychic skills inherited from her mother, and her vamp abilities from her father, make her a formidable yet vulnerable heroine.
Dani is soon juggling a variety of young men. Her human boyfriend Lucas, her first blood donor and sexual partner Charlie (surprisingly it isn't Lucas), vamp Chase who she falls in love with and his best friend Cayden who she uses to get over her feelings for Chase. All the youngsters (both human and vampire) come across as somewhat rather fickle during their bed hopping (even Chase and Dani despite their `soul bond') and with so many young men declaring their undying love for Dani, she initially appears to sleep her way through the ranks despite her clear attraction to Chase. He is no better either, trying to seduce Dani whilst knowing his family is arranging a blood bond with another young vampire; a ritual that will wipe away all his feelings for Dani yet leave her still pining for him.
The level of action and tension is great. The vampire culture is well done, there is plenty going on plot wise as Dani uncovers her heritage and battles a powerful enemy determined to kill her for her abilities, plus of course the numerous love interests who take it in turn to break Dani's heart as each betray her in their own way. There is a fantastic cliff hanger, and as result I'll definitely be checking out book 2 "Unforgiven" when it is released.

Jigsaw: A Revolutionary Web Server for Linux
The Jigsaw Web Server is designed to be a demonstration in technology rather than a full-fledged release. Initially, it was intended as a project to experiment new technologies. However, as of Jigsaw 2.0, the server broke the rules of test platforms to be more robust than the average web server, making it worthwhile to take a serious look at its features, potentials and possible future deployment.
The design philosophy of Jigsaw is to make it as portable, flexible and extensible as possible, while still providing a functional and robust web server. The design goals are met by having the Jigsaw server run within any Java-supported environment.
At its core, having an object-oriented design and implementation, Jigsaw is nothing more than a set of Java classes and extension modules. Therefore, adding capabilities to the server is not complicated. We can dynamically add our own modules where every resource available to the server is an object, as opposed to a CGI script, and any object is available to end users via HTTP. The server can thus be extended by writing new resource objects. This is the replacement for CGI, where server extensions have to be written as processes. Jigsaw also supports CGI for use with existing CGI scripts.
Jigsaw's developers emphasize providing a well-structured source code, a full set of core Application Program Interfaces (APIs) and a high-quality set of documentation.
These factors offer a complete experimental platform that can be used by as many researchers as possible. This contributes to the success of Jigsaw as an open-source project providing a valuable draft to the future of the HTTP protocol and object-oriented web servers.
The Jigsaw server runs on any platform supporting Java. It has been tested on Windows 95/NT and Solaris 2.x. Many people have also reported successful installation and use on other platforms such as OS/2, MacOS, BeOS, Linux, AS-400 and AIX. I installed the Jigsaw server on two workstations powered by Red Hat 6.1 and 6.2, with JDK 1.1.8 and JDK 1.2.2 respectively, and in both cases it worked fine.
To install the Jigsaw server, you need to have JDK installed on your system. Downloading the latest version from http://java.sun.com/ is recommended.
After installing JDK, you need to set up the PATH permanently in the startup file to have access to the JDK bin directory. If you are using the C shell, edit the ~/.cshrc file in your home directory and add the following line:
set path=(/usr/local/jdk1.2.2/bin $path)

Weather Warning 03-016 (Valid 26 MAR 15 0300L Until Further Notice) Moderate Thunderstorms are forecast to occur on the Fort Hood Reservation. High Winds greater than or equal to 35 kts (40 mph) but less than 45 kts. (52 mph) and/or Large Hail greater than or equal to 1/4 but less than 1/2in.
The Families and friends of the 36th Engineer "Rugged" Brigade welcomed 63 Soldiers back from Liberia Monday morning during the unit's uncasing ceremony in Starker Functional Fitness Center.
The unit deployed about 450 Soldiers in support of the humanitarian mission in West Africa around November 3, 2014, building hospitals, Ebola treatment facilities and life support units in support of Operation United Assistance.
While the Soldiers only just returned to their Families Monday, the Rugged Soldiers actually redeployed to Fort Hood on March 2, but have been at the
controlled monitoring area at North Fort Hood for a 21-day observation period to ensure no one came down with any signs of the infection.
This precaution, while responsible, wasn't something any of the deploying Soldiers were worried about because of training, preparations and readiness, said Col. Heath Roscoe, 36th Eng. Bde. commander.
"I'm very proud of the work these Rugged Soldiers did while deployed," Roscoe said.
Online registration for the Fort Hood American Dream U event is AmericanDreamU.org.
Attend the American Dream U seminars, which will be held 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., at Palmer Theater March 27, and 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. in the Oveta Culp
Hobby Center March 28. These seminars will help prepare troops for their transition to a new civilian career. To find out more about American Dream U,

Fort Hood is now hiring certified lifeguards for the 2015 summer season. Those interested may apply at USAJobs.gov
The Directorate of Family and Morale Welfare and Recreation is offering certification classes for those not certified. The first classes are from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mar. 16-20 at Abrams indoor pool. The cost is $150. To register for classes, call 287-4648 or 285-5942.
In light of recent online threats made against the safety of military personnel, Fort Hood security officials offer the following steps for
Soldiers and their Family members to help protect their security online and while using mobile devices:
· Change passwords biannually using at least two of each uppercase, lowercase, special characters, and numbers.
· Download the
Facebook Security Settings Guide
· If you shop or bank from your phone, always use that company's app, not the web browser.
· Read application permissions before you download (why would Weather Channel app want to change your contact list?).
· Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not in use. Machines running on Wi-Fi can be hacked (this includes game consoles and televisions).
· Download virus and malware protection and set schedules for scans (There's an app for that!).
· Avoid playing games on Facebook and ensure game apps are from trusted U.S. companies (games/apps can be used to hack stored information such as bank account or geo-location).
Post security officials remind everyone in the Fort Hood military community to report any suspicious activities. They urge community members if they, "See Something, Say Something," by calling 288-COPS (2677).
Effective immediately, the Fort Hood Civilian Personnel Advisory Center, located in Bldg. 4820, will be closed each Wednesday afternoon from noon
to 4 p.m. The CPAC staff will not be available for walk-in customers during this period. In case of an emergency, call the CPAC front desk at 288-2002.
The Abrams Physical Fitness Center indoor pool has reopened. Hours of operation are from 5-9 a.m. and 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Friday and from
8 a.m.-7 p.m. on weekends, training holidays and holidays. Additionally, the center itself has also reopened with its renovations completed. The Abrams
PFC is open from 5 a.m.-9 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 8 a.m.-7 p.m., on weekends and training holidays.

Respond to Review of Loving Hut - Houston
by gr8d8
Review: My husband and I live near Hobby Airport (southeast Houston) and drive to Loving Hut about four times a week-- a good 45 minutes to an hour drive, depending on traffic-- it is worth it. The jasmine tea alone is worth it. The food is out of this world and the prices are amazingly cheap, especially for the huge portion sizes. Hubby is addicted to the Loving Hut burger and my favourite is the Exquisite Curry... so much so that I get one for there AND always order one to go as well. It is so big that just one portion of that curry will last me 3 meals. I can't even finish the one I get to eat there-- I can only eat about a third of it, I take the rest of that one home with me, too... The ambiance of the restaurant is so calming, it's like a getaway for us... a great way to unwind after a long day. We even go to Loving Hut to order our holiday meals. Couldn't go a week without at least a few visits to decompress. The staff are wonderful, ambiance is serene. Definitely worth the drive for us.

germination test
I have some coneflower seeds that are from my garden. I put them in a wet paper towel; they did not sprout. I think they may need to be outside in the cold for a while. How do you test germination for seeds that may take a while to germinate? I would not send these seeds to anyone; do others test germination?
In searching a bit I see that coneflowers do indeed need stratification.
do others test germination?
No, I just do my best at letting the seeds or seed pods mature, brown and split if they are the splitting kind of seed pods. I then harvest them and let them dry additionally before packing them for storage in a cool, dry, dark place.
If seeds are properly harvested, they 'should' be fine. It is kind of a crap-shoot though when trading as some members maybe aren't as knowledgeable as others are about the proper maturing and drying of seeds.
The Seed Saving Forum is a great place to learn about harvesting seeds at the appropriate time. Remy is our resident expert there fielding a lot of the questions with good info.
hth...sorry, don't know how to really test them when needing stratification. If they were harvested properly, they should be fine. If you Winter Sow them, you would then later know for sure if they are viable or not.
Define coneflowers - rudbeckia, echinacea, ratibida?
Growing from seed is a grand experiment. Try them and see what happens. I have heard of nothing from these three that would suggest seeds aren't ready when they are loose from the heads.
