2010 St. Stanislaus Annual Report
2010 St. Stanislaus Annual Report online version
A Procession of Gratitude Brother Ronald Hingle, S.C. by Brother Bernard Couvillion, President The cover photo shows Brother Ronald Hingle, Principal, leading the 2011 graduating class from the SSC campus to its commencement exercises. With this one picture, the cover tells the lead story in this annual report: on May 28, 2011 Brother Ronald accompanied his fifteenth and final graduating class to the successful award of an SSC diploma. In the 157 years of St. Stanislaus' history, only two school leaders were here for more time. Neither of those served fifteen interrupted years. Brother Stanislaus Keating Brother Peter Basso Brother Ronald Hingle Brother Florimond Pauble Brother Lee Barker Brother Ronald Talbot Brother Alexis Klee 17 years 16 years 15 years 12 years 10 years 10 Years 9 years Brother Ronald's unprecedented tenure of leadership at St. Stanislaus as assistant principal, principal, and president has been a procession of extraordinary service and historic accomplishments. His educational legacy is remarkable: more varied and challenging academic offerings and university acceptances, a tone of discipline adapted to adolescents of today, and a renewed campus ministry and service program. After the devastation of Hurricane Katrina � side by side with Brother Ronald Talbot � he showed faith and fierce determination in putting the school year 2005-2006 back into gear in two short months. As if that was not enough, in order to accommodate students trickling back to school throughout the hurricane year, he completely rescheduled courses three times. After the destruction, Brother Ronald's longsuffering collaboration with government agencies bore fruit; SSC received grants of over twelve million dollars for campus reconstruction, and more is promised by virtue of his insistent and painstaking recordkeeping. A new band hall and pier, a transformed dormitory, as well as a state-of-theart dining hall linked to the other buildings by arched walkways and a signature clock tower have transformed the look and feel of the campus. Although the recovery placed enormous demands on him, he never lost sight of what SSC is all about: helping adolescent boys grow into Christian men. They felt his love and knew his high expectations. At his final student body mass, they gave him a heartwarming and lengthy standing ovation. Nothing this article says could mean more to him than that demonstration of genuine gratitude by the students at the center of his personal mission and vocation. In the following procession of reflections, colleagues who came to know him well through years of close work with him describe the personality of the man who shaped SSC for a generation. Erich Hoffer, social studies teacher and coach, said, "Brother Hingle had a profound impact on not only my teaching career, but on my life. When I think of him, I think of kindness and a man willing to be a true servant leader who loves others more than himself ... a true example of Christ. I am humbled and gratified that I get to carry on the mission of the Brothers, which was exemplified to me daily in the life of Brother Ronald Hingle." "During my thirty-five years at St. Stanislaus, serving as a teacher, administrator and alumni director, and ministering with over a dozen Principals in the process," said Susan Estrade, "few men, have impacted my work and my life to the degree that Brother Ronald has. During his years at St. Stanislaus, Brother Ronald dealt with numerous challenging situations, and he always did so with the greatest care and compassion. I understand our mission much more clearly because of the love, the guidance and the care that he provided to me and my work at St. Stanislaus." 2 St. Stanislaus 2010 Annual Report Mick Quinlan, senior guidance counselor, adds, "His incredible saint-like patience and persistence � the way he would `keep on keeping on,' especially Senior Leadership Breakfast with FEMA and all its surprises Student Handbook over so many years � became an inspiration to me whenever I started Honors Diploma to lose my patience with a person Online Grading and Assignments or a situation. "During my six years School Uniforms directing the residency program we Academic Letter Jackets would occasionally have to make 150th Anniversary Festivities the tough decisions to let a student Rockin' the Globe go. Every single time on every sinExpanded collaboration with OLA gle student, Brother Ronald would PRO's Camp Overnight Stay review the entire history of that Open House student with me to make sure that we did everything possible to keep him in the fold. In that process with each student, he spent great amounts of time counseling the student and his family." Brother Ronald's SSC Legacy Fred Cherota, colleague of Brother Ronald through all fifteen years, describes Brother's impact on him. "All I can really say is that I love the man. He embodies, for me, the ministry of the Brotherhood. I watched him evangelize those around him, by example. This encouraged me to be better at my own ministry at SSC. He did so much, and for so many. He seemed untiring, always available, and committed to the truth of our all being children of God. "Brother Ronald personified the Brotherhood's Rule of Life, its essence, its heart. He extended his commitment for saving the endangered young, to all of God's children, of any age. He seldom waved the Brotherhood or Catholicism as a banner. He did, however, show the way, The Way. The Sacred Heart of Jesus � compassion, love, and service � were the traits I saw in him. Brother Ronald Hingle is a living sacrifice. What Jesus chose to die for, had to die for, Brother Ronald chooses to live for, everyday. I miss seeing him." "His creativity is off the charts," says Campus Minister Adrienne Quinlan, "I've seen him create beautiful prayers, prayer services and presentations to small and large groups, always appropriate for the time, place and audience. His stamina is, to me, his greatest gift from God. I also know first-hand that he will lay down his life for anyone. I literally thought I was sending him to his death when I told him about the families stranded in the cafeteria on the verge of drowning [during Hurricane Katrina]. He did not hesitate to take off into the storm to bring them to safety." Each of the graduating seniors walking behind Brother Ronald in the cover photo could give his own testimony of the ways Brother Ronald marked his life; many have. A particularly eloquent grad of the Class of 1998 wrote a personal valedictory note (see inset) to Brother Ronald that echoes the words of many of the students whose lives he touched. The mother of a grad, Susan P. Shimp, expresses the gratitude of many parents; she wrote to me as soon as she heard of Brother Ronald's transfer. "Although happy for his assignment for him, I am very sad to see him go from SSC. My son graduated in 2000, and I 3 feel that both Brother Hingle and Brother Talbot were great influences for the education and `character' that SSC emphasizes. Brother Hingle was always and is a beacon of light for SSC. He always thought of the positive aspects of the way students should carry themselves and continued to encourage them with a positive outlook on their standards in life after they left. He was always very interested in the students, both while at SSC and afterwards. He was always caring and made you feel that he was truly interested. SSC is the beneficiary of the knowledge, caring, and work that Brother Ronald Hingle gave of himself. He will be missed dearly." I give the last word to Brother Ronald Talbot, Provincial, who worked closely with Brother Ronald Hingle as preceding Principal and President: "Brother Ronald Hingle arrived at St. Stanislaus fully committed to the ongoing growth and improvement of SSC. He poured his heart and his soul into this endeavor. While there are many visible and lasting signs of this commitment, what impressed me the most was his dedication to the students. While insisting on accountability, good conduct, and adherence to Christian values, his first concern was always the good of the individual. "He took and made time for students. He attended many, if not most, student activities. His interactions with individual students were marked by caring, concern, listening, and counseling. He drove buses so students could attend activities. He frequently accompanied injured students to the emergency room. He visited students in the hospital, and if need be, even spent the night at the request of the medical staff. The good of the students always came first. "His deep concern for students was never more evident than during Hurricane Katrina, when he spent countless hours and sleepless days to see that our international students were reunited with their families. Brother Ronald left St. Stanislaus much more tired than when he arrived, but he remained just as committed and was much more deeply invested. St. Stanislaus and its students have benefited from the dedication of a man who is tirelessly energetic, highly talented, deeply caring, and truly focused on sharing the love of the Sacred Heart with those he serves."

Mr. Bienvenu, who has been a successful watercolor artist for over 60 years, has donated his entire collection of artwork to St. Stanislaus. The collection includes over 80 original pieces, several thousand prints and equipment used in framing. His intentions are for SSC to use the artwork in fundraising Chris Mensi, Advancement Director with endeavors as well as educational Gerald Bienvenu and Brother Bernard purposes in the art classes. "This is a very important gift to the college, and I want to thank Gerald for his generosity," Bro. Bernard Couvillion said. "We are very proud of Mr. Bienvenue's accomplished artistic career and want our students to know his life's work. And we are taken by his generosity, his affability, and his love for his alma mater." Recently, Mr. Bienvenu visited SSC to sign and number his artwork. During his visit he expressed his love of St. Stanislaus and eagerness to help the school by giving back through a career that has brought him renowned recognition as a prominent watercolor artist. He hopes that students who are interested in art can learn from his works and experiences as an artist to help them develop an appreciation and love for a passion that has given him such a successful career. We would like to thank Mr. Bienvenu for the generous gift of his incredible works of art. During summer renovations, various works have been hung to brighten the decor of the school. Additionally, works are in progress to make the prints available for purchase at various local art galleries as well as SSC charitable events. Congratulations to our me f Fa s ll o ree Ha ono H Brother Aquin Gauthier 11 20 Mr. Jim Thriffiley 5 A Letter from the President Dear Alumni, Parents, and Friends, In this Annual Report you can see pictures of the renovated Resource Center, whose complete overhaul was this year's major improvement project in the heart of the school's academic building. The painting was done by the Building and Grounds staff and student workers under the direction of Mr. Freddy West. The renovation was coordinated by Mrs. Nora Wikoff, mother of a junior, a freshman, and a seventh-grader. New carpet was funded by a grant from the Pugh Family Fund at the Community Foundation of Acadiana and a gift from Mr. Billy Jacks '51 in memory of Mr. Arthur P. Loiacano `21. The following page has a photo of a small brass plaque dedicated to the memory of Arthur P. Loiacano '21 near the statue of Saint Stanislaus--the only relic of the ground floor to survive Hurricane Katrina. In mounting that plaque, Chris Mensi, Advancement Director, revived a revered SSC tradition: posting the engraved names of those who helped build the school so that ongoing generations of students don't take for granted what they have. There are forty-seven patrons and benefactors memorialized by brass plaques on the doors of the classrooms accessible from the Resource Center. Hundreds of students and teachers see them every day, several times a day, while moving from class to class. We've never given a test to find out how many names get etched in their teen-age minds; however, I'm certain that because of the plaques our students become aware over time that they inhabit a place built up and beautified by a 158-year-old culture of giving. The oldest grad engraved on a classroom door finished in 1900. The sparkle of the Resource Center showed up the dinginess of the doors, so this summer we had them all sanded and revarnished. I took on the task of polishing up the plaques, and in the process was filled with renewed gratitude and a desire to broadcast the memory of those memorialized. A box on the next page lists their names and gives you the occasion to remember them in gratitude and possibly in prayer. I would like to address to them and to all of you whose names are published in this Annual Report, the words our founder Andre Coindre wrote in 1818 to encourage the first 166 pledge holders whose names are found in the annals of the Brothers' first establishment: "As patrons you shall receive information on the progress of both the institution and its students. You will benefit, during your life and after your death, from the prayers which they and their teachers raise every day to heaven for your generosity. You shall have the reassuring consolation of having made an enormous contribution to the material and spiritual wellbeing of young people. You shall have the glory of propagating sound doctrine and of encouraging religious fervor among youth. Finally, you shall be contributing at one and the same time to the glory of God, to the salvation of neighbor, to the interests of the establishment, and to the good of our nation." (Andre Coindre, Prospectus of 1818) I have a permanent Thank You engraved in my heart for all you have done to make possible the good news we celebrate in our school and in this booklet. Your brother, Brother Bernard Couvillion, S.C. President 6 DEDICATION PLAQUES ON CLASSROOM DOORS Gift of Berchmans Wilbert, Sr. `23 Dr. and Mrs. Vincent N.

Seal Foundation combined with over forty additional donors, the SSC Baseball Complex has been fully renovated. Improvements include new dugouts, restrooms, concession stand, press box, and an indoor batting facility. Also, the field has been equipped with new drainage and sprinkler systems. This project which began last summer was finished just in time for the baseball season where the Rock's went 16-9. The complex has also taken on a new look with the addition of a brick and wrought iron fence spanning the distance of the baseball field along Bookter St. with a new iron gate soon to be installed at the entrance. With the baseball field completed, work has now moved to the football complex. After the 2011 season, the home and visitor sides will switch. Currently, Mr. Artigues has laid the foundation for a new concession stand and restrooms near the field house and work will soon begin on the installation of new bleachers behind the current visitor side. Funding for these two projects will be provided through designated donations and proceeds from Rockin' the Globe. Additional plans include the renovation to the old concession stand and restrooms which will take place after the current project is completed. 8 St. Stanislaus 2010 Annual Report A Legacy of Superlatives Jay Ladner The Brother Peter Gym has been the home of St. Stanislaus Basketball since 1971, but it wasn't until 1991 that other nicknames evolved. Whether you know it as The Rock House or the home of Ladner's Lunatics, one thing is certain, the Brother Peter Gymnasium was the second home for Jay Ladner for twenty years. In 1991, Jay Ladner stepped onto the St. Stanislaus Hardwood as the newly hired head basketball coach. With a passion and love of basketball and no formal coaching experience, Jay Ladner built the most successful basketball program in the school's history. His coaching career ended on a high note when the Rock-A-Chaws took Jackson, MS by storm and won the 2011 MHSAA 4A State Championship. Throughout his tenure at SSC, Jay Ladner became the school's all-time winningest coach, with an overall record of 490-189 in his twenty seasons. Within those years, Jay led the Rocks to eight division titles, sixteen trips to the postseason, sixteen 20-win seasons, eight 30-win seasons, record for most wins in a season with 34 (2011), 10 state tournament appearances, one Class 4A South State title, six Class 4A South State runnerup finishes and the 2011 Class 4A state championship. He was also named the Mississippi Association of Coaches boys basketball Coach of the Year in 2011. When asked about his departure from St. Stanislaus, Jay Ladner said, "This was the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. I am so humbled and grateful for the opportunity that was given to me by Brother Paul Montero twenty years ago. While I did grow up in Oak Grove, this very unique place has become home to me which made it so very difficult to leave. There is a uniqueness about SSC that just simply grows on you and becomes a part of you. The alumni, the players, my colleagues, the Brothers and the spirit are so unlike anywhere else. I have been blessed to have been a part of the mission and ministry of this wonderful place. SSC will forever be an integral part of my life. I will always be a Rock-a-chaw!" Chris Davis class of 1998 grad and friend of Jay Ladner claimed that "the thing that made coaching with him so special was the family atmosphere that existed within the program. No matter where Rock-a-Chaw teams played, there was sure to be a former player at the game cheering the current team on and coming back in the locker room to give encouragement. They did this because they have such pride for the uniform and they know that they owed the current team members the same support and transmission of Christian values that Coach Ladner gave them." Gabe Willis, 2003 graduate and basketball player, added that "His presence was that of a father figure. He demanded excellence from us in all aspects of our life. He cared and still cares about us as young men, not just ballplayers." SSC Alumni Association President and athletic historian, Joe Gex'88 commented that "Jay Ladner has been a tremendous example for not only his players but all students and alumni of St. Stanislaus. Beyond all the wins, Jay's legacy will remain firmly entrenched with the motto he demanded all his players to live according to � God first, family second, academics third and all else fourth. That motto summed up who Jay Ladner is and what he means to the SSC tradition." We wish Jay the best as he begins a new chapter in life and we are grateful for his hard work building the program which is affectionately known as SSC Basketball. 9 Endowing a Dream Friends, This summer I had the opportunity to attend two conferences at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. Something about going to the largest Catholic University in the country and the fact that their endowment exceeds seven billion dollars convinced me that I would probably learn a few things about fundraising and endowment management. If you have ever been to Notre Dame, you know how impressive the campus is. If you haven't, I highly recommend it. As I drove onto campus, I was amazed at the pristine landscaping and overall beauty of the gothic style buildings. I could not help but feel many similarities between Notre Dame and St. Stanislaus. The history, the tradition, and the mission both go back over 150 years. In a day in which both institutions rely heavily on private support, I found that there were many ideas that I could bring back to SSC. After dinner one evening I walked around the campus and came to the Hesburg Library. I noticed a small granite wall surrounding a reflection pond. I read a sign nearby which explained the names inscribed on the wall. They were the "named professorships" established for the respective colleges and the donors who established them. I walked the length of the wall and realized that there were easily several hundred of these endowed funds. "If only we could have just one", I said to myself. With the smallest chair being endowed at $1.5 million and the largest at $5 million, two things were very clear: Notre Dame has some very generous alumni, and they are passionate about attracting and investing in the very best faculty. When I began at SSC two years ago, Bro. Ronald Hingle shared his dream with me, of building faculty endowments for teachers. With the salaries of our teachers being only eighty percent of their public school counterparts, he knew that something had to be done to level the playing field. The goal was a one-million-dollar endowment for each department with roughly five percent being used annually for that department to recruit, retain, and train the best teachers available. Bro. Ronald cared so deeply about academic excellence and our faculty, that this was at the forefront of our fundraising efforts. Unfortunately, his departure did not allow him to see his dream materialize. Recently, through the tremendous generosity of two parents of a recent graduate, St. Stanislaus was blessed with the gift of a $100,000 donation that has been used to establish the first faculty endowment at SSC. We hope more donors will help us to grow this tenfold; however, the good news is that the seed of an endowment is growing. We have been blessed throughout the years with having outstanding teachers pass through the doors of SSC, and our administration is committed to relieving the financial burden associated with teaching at a private institution. So I look to you, alumni, parents, and friends to help support St. Stanislaus in its goal of building the best academic program in the region. Though we hope many of our students will be successful athletes or talented musicians, we want first and foremost for them to be successful students.

River Parish Disposal Shop Our Schools Southern Trophies The Bow Shop The Society of 1854 St. Stanislaus College, the oldest existing establishment of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart in America, boasts a long and colorful history dating back to 1854. Blessed with talented leaders and generous benefactors, St. Stanislaus grew from its humble beginnings into an educational institution of great renown on the Gulf Coast. But it was not an easy task. Major challenges overcome by Brothers, lay faculty, and their students include epidemics, Civil War, financial struggles, hurricanes, and fire. Without the perseverance and dedication of instrumental individuals, St. Stanislaus would not be the school it is today. From its start in 1854, the history of SSC spans over a century and a half and includes over 7,000 alumni worldwide. Membership in the Society of 1854 is offered to all those who share the commitment to continuing the mission of St. Stanislaus, and who, like those Brothers in 1854 and those who followed, affirm that commitment by means of a planned gift. To become eligible for the Society membership, an individual simply informs the school in writing that St. Stanislaus has been included in his or her estate plans. The school also requires documentation of the planned gift, for example, a copy of the pertinent provisions of the individual's will or trust, a copy of the life insurance policy which names the school as a beneficiary, or a letter from the individual's attorney stating that he or she has, indeed, included St. Stanislaus in his or her estate plans. Upon receipt of such documentation, participants are enrolled in the Society of 1854. MATCHING GIFT COMPANIES Bank of America Corp.

This guide has been prepared to inform current and potential donors of the school's needs and the different opportunities available for giving. Behind every gift to St. Stanislaus is a unique story reflecting the interest, enthusiasm, and commitment of a donor. St. Stanislaus is a non-profit organization that relies on private donations to meet the annual, capital and endowment needs of the school. At a time when there are so many requests for your charitable dollar, you may ask: Why St. Stanislaus? The answer is simply two-fold: St. Stanislaus is worthy of your investment because it is an investment in the formation and future of a child. Secondly, in a school with our unique mission, your gift to St. Stanislaus will truly make a difference. ANNUAL FUND Our Annual Fund Program is necessary to sustain the life of the school through enriched academic, campus ministry, and student programs, as well as to provide faculty and departmental support. Your investment on an annual basis through a St. Stanislaus Annual Fund contribution, at any level, will help raise necessary funds for important school objectives. Recruit and retain outstanding, experienced faculty Improve the academic programs and student activities Increase professional development of faculty Provide financial assistance for students Enhance spiritual formation opportunities for students Improve technology on campus ENDOWMENT FUNDS Endowed scholarship funds and endowed academic funds are often established to commemorate a deceased loved one or to honor a living person or family. These funds provide a lasting tribute to those who are so honored. The principal of the donation remains secure while a portion of the annual interest income provides tuition assistance for deserving SSC students and additional funding for teachers salaries and academic programs. The based funding requirement for a named endowment fund at SSC is $50,000, and this may be paid over a period of years. ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS Saint Stanislaus strives to attract a diverse student body of the best students from all cultural, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds. With tuition at private schools rising, the school's scholarship program aims to support this effort and provide aid to deserving students who might not otherwise be able to afford a Saint Stanislaus education. FACULTY ENDOWMENT FUNDS Your investment in SSC helps the school attract, train and retain the best and brightest teachers we can find. The fund will provide an annual suppliment to St. Stanislaus which will be used to subsidize teacher salaries. Our goal is to build a Faculty Endowment large enough to allow St. Stanislaus to provide fair wages that are competitive with public education. MEMORIAL AND HONORARY GIFTS Your investment in SSC is contributed in memory or honor of loved ones, other individuals, or groups. These gifts are designated to the Memorial and Honorary Scholarship Fund, which provides financial assistance to qualified students. DESIGNATED GIFTS Contributions can be restricted for a specific purpose and applied to benefit a named department, extracurricular activity, or project as the donor specifies and the school approves. CLASS GIFTS This is an opportunity for graduates of the same class to come together to create an endowed scholarship or other designated gift in the name of their class. MATCHING GIFTS Many companies offer an employee benefit of matching contributions to a non-profit organization. These company programs match a donation from you or your spouse and increase the impact of your gift to St. Stanislaus. Many times, companies also match gifts from retirees. To find out if your company matches gifts, contact your human resource department for the required form(s). PLANNED GIFTS - THE SOCIETY OF 1854 In order to continue the good works of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart at St. Stanislaus, planned gifts help to perpetuate the mission of the school. There are many ways to give a planned gift to the school. Bequests, life insurance gifts, retirement plan designations, and charitable remainder trusts are just a few. If you have already named St. Stanislaus in your will, please notify the school's Advancement Office if you wish to be acknowledged for your generosity. If you are interested in learning more about giving opportunities at St. Stanislaus College, please contact the Advancement Office at 228-467-9057, ext. 255. Your gift sends a powerful message of loyalty and support and helps shape the future of St. Stanislaus College. 18 St. Stanislaus 2010 Annual Report Endowment Funds Below is a list of fully funded endowment funds as of June 30, 2011.

Hosted on June 4th and 5th, 88 anglers fished on 27 boats helping to solidify this as an annual event. Being the first year for St. Stanislaus to host a fishing tournament, our main goal was to attract alumni, students, parents, and local anglers to the SSC campus. Over $5,000 in cash and prizes was awarded to more than twenty-five winners in nine categories. Additionally a one week vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico was raffled off to one lucky winner. This was with out a doubt overwhelmingly successful and we are looking forward to hosting the 2nd Annual Fishing Tournament on June 1st and 2nd, 2012.

For the record, Paul got 6 states and should have gotten a floor nomination until the RNC decided on another last minute rule change. See, the GOP has lied, cheated, committed voter fraud and even used strong-arm tactics to keep Ron Paul from winning. Even the MSM had a hand in the biggest dis-info campaign in history.
Paul gets six petitions but falls short of having his name added to RNC ballot
I would like to give congrats to all the delegates who worked so hard against all odds. Your hard work WILL NOT BE IN VAIN!
To all the Romney supporters...I hope Ron goes Indie. I want to see Romney and the GOP handed the biggest embarrassment in election history! You all deserve it!

I've been waiting for this day for months. This is time for the Paul delegation to put up or shut up and I certainly don't think us Paul supporters are known for being quiet.
I was hoping we would see a floor contest and the fact that it's being planned is great news to me.
I believe Ron Paul is distancing himself (at least publicly) from this, as to not hurt Rand's opportunities within the party. I believe he's also doing it because he knows how smart and strong his grassroots support is and he believes they can handle it.
S&F my friend!

Hillary didn't lose. She gave up.

Gary Johnson should ask Ron Paul to be his VP. Johnson is going to be on the ballot in all 50 states. Funny how every single media station will only talk about Romney and Obama, the only difference between stations is one bashes the other. Not one word about the third party candidate who will also be on the ballot. I bet a whole bunch of people will be surprised to see a third person when they get to the voter booth. They should be asking themselves, "why didn't the media report about this guy? Why no mention of him at all?"

However, the other party to the VCAT proceeding cannot grant this full release, and any partial release is likely to be ineffective.

Primates' Unique Gene Regulation Mechanism: Little-Understood DNA Elements Serve Important Purpose
By SCIENCE DAILY - SCIENCEDAILY.COM
Added: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 04:11:34 UTC
ScienceDaily (Feb. 9, 2011)
Scientists have discovered a new way genes are regulated that is unique to primates, including humans and monkeys. Though the human genome -- all the genes that an individual possesses -- was sequenced 10 years ago, greater understanding of how genes function and are regulated is needed to make advances in medicine, including changing the way we diagnose, treat and prevent a wide range of diseases. ...
The newly identified mechanism involves Alu elements, repetitive DNA elements that spread throughout the genome as primates evolved. While scientists have known about the existence of Alu elements for many years, their function, if any, was largely unknown.
Maquat discovered that Alu elements team up with molecules called long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) to regulate protein production. They do this by ensuring messenger RNAs (mRNAs), which take genetic instructions from DNA and use it to create proteins, stay on track and create the right number of proteins. If left unchecked, protein production can spiral out of control, leading to the proliferation or multiplication of cells, which is characteristic of diseases such as cancer.

Using a process called paleo-experimental evolution, Georgia Tech researchers have resurrected a 500-million-year-old gene from bacteria and inserted it into modern-day Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. This bacterium has now been growing for more than 1,000 generations, giving the scientists a front row seat to observe evolution in action. Credit: Georgia Institute of Technology

Boutique-styled, 18-watt tone machine.
The Contender borrows special features from its big brother, the all-tube Defender 3/4 guitar amplifier from Kustom. Using a high-voltage 12AX7 tube preamp design, The Contender harkens back to the small tube guitar amps of yesterday: chock full of sweet tone and snarling attitude.
The Contender combo amp is housed in a '60s-era pine speaker cabinet, a key ingredient in its lively tone. Controls provided are Volume, Bass, Treble and Master, as well as Bright and Master Volume Bypass switches. With the Master engaged, it's easy to get chubnky overdriven tones that ring with clarity. With the Master Bypass swithc engaged, the amp is pure old-school, eliminating the Master Volume circuit entirely. Speaker duties are handles with authority by an 8-inch Eminience speaker.
Special details include an exclusive stitched-pattern covering, an oversized, cushy leather handle, plywood baffle, jewel light and vintage-style power switch. Tube Tone lives inside The Contender.

All in all, I was pleasantly surprised by this amp. As I mentioned before, the Master Bypass is a pretty useless feature...that is, unless you want a super loud amp that hisses like a leaky garden hose. Keep the Master Circuit engaged and enjoy! With the stock preamp tube, the amp is surprisingly good. With the Groove Tube Gold 12ax7R plugged in, the amp simply rocks!!!
Has all the basics here...Volume (Gain), Bass, Treble, Master Volume, Bright Switch, Pine Cabinet, 8" Eminence Speaker, External Speaker Jack and Headphone Out. The amp also features a "Master Bypass" switch, which wires you straight from Volume Control to the power amp. Though bypassing the master circuit gives you an amazing amount of volume (it's freakin' loud), I find it rather useless because it also boosts the high frequencies, giving the amp a loud hiss. Because I think the "Master Bypass" is a feature that Kustom could have done away with, I dock the amp a point. That aside, with the Master Circuit engaged, you get a really nice, warm-sounding amp that you could probably gig with (mic'd, of course), depending on the music you play. Mind you, I haven't cranked the amp beyond louder bedroom levels yet, but I really dig the sound I've been getting. The amp has a distinct mid-rangey character to it - perfect for classic rock and old school punk. The highs are clear without being ice-pickish. Lows are decent, giving you just enough bottom to round out the sound.
The amp seems to be very well built. The pine cabinet is solid and probably adds quite a bit of character to the amp's sound. The knobs seem snugly in place and the amp corners are protected by metal caps. The stock 12ax7B tube (no-name brand) is actually pretty good. I play a Gibson Les Paul Junior with a single P-90, and with the gain at 10 o'clock and Master at 9 I can get a nice "clean to crunchy" sound. The amp also handled my Digitech RP355 quite well (amp modeling turned off, of course).
Just for kicks I popped in a Groove Tube Gold Series 12ax7R and the amp really came to life. I sat there like an idiot, plucking and bending random notes just to hear how the amp made them sound. Lots of warmth and character here.
What can I say? For a great price, you get a warm-sounding Tube/Solid-State hybrid that I daresay you can gig with. This is a pure, vintage-toned, classic rock beast of an amp.
I'm playing mostly 50's music-from 'billy to country and this amp is PERFECT for these styles.Jangly and bassy,it delivers that vintage tone.Also it's a perfect amp for gigging as it's easy to carry and LOUD!!! - (it will blow up your flat and clubs on volume about 4 with master bypassed)It was tested on temperatures as low as -18C and falling in snow (I'm from Russia=))AND IT SURVIVEDBuy it and don't waste your time.)
This is an amazing hybrid tube/solid state amp that delivers pro tone and performance in a tight 'n' light package. I have a huge stable of hand wired tube amps and the Contender is the ONLY s/s amp that can compare to the warmth and tone of a real tube amp. You'll need to trial one for yourself ... and having done that, I've just ordered another. Check one out, and play on ...
Okay, so I like John Fogerty and the Creedence sound. The Kustom Contender gives a good, clean jangle with the bright switch on, the volume at 1/4 and the master at 1/2. This has headphone and line out ability, so it can drive a larger cab. As is, it makes a very fun practice amp. It's compatible with Marshall, Ibanez, and Danelectro pedals. It doesn't like the Behringer reverb as much as a Marshall amp does. If you want clean, go easy on the volume, heavy on the master knob. If you want tube overdrive, go easy on the master at first, and heavy on the volume. If you want to irritate everybody, hit the master bypass switch. Geez its loud. Which is good when you need it!
