Top Teachers: Philip Riddle
Brookland M.S., sixth grade
As a child, Philip Riddle noticed that many of the adults he knew spoke of work as if it were a burden.
At the same time, he noticed that many of his teachers relished their jobs – radiating joy in the way that they interacted with students, presented subject matter and provided extra help to those who needed it.
"I just could not imagine waking up every day to go to a job that I did not find joy in," Riddle recalled. "I knew that if I was going to devote a career to something, it had to be something I was passionate about.
"And I learned very early on that it was easy to be passionate about teaching."
Today, parents at Brookland Middle School have noticed that Riddle radiates that same joy with his sixth-graders. They cited his contagious, "extremely happy, pleasant-to-have-around" nature, the "can-do" spirit he encourages in his students and the fairness and integrity he models in the classroom.
One student was so taken by Riddle's fresh, open style that he came home from his first day of school and announced his plans to become a history professor.
But parents add that career choices are not all that Riddle has inspired. He challenges students to become lifelong learners and to make a difference in the world through leadership and service to the community.
Knowing that most of his students will not go on to careers in social studies, Riddle works hard to present the curriculum in a way that engages every student – whether by having the students read together and pose questions, or by sharing stories and interactive sites that will intrigue them.
"A certain percentage of students just love social studies and would look forward to my class even if I just stood up and lectured every day," Riddle acknowledged.
"But all students deserve a better experience than that. Lessons that are engaging challenge students to think critically . . . [and help them] draw connections between what has happened in the past and what is taking place in their world."
As rewarding as classroom teaching may be, however, Riddle said that the most meaningful parts of his day are moments in which he can talk to students one on one. Not only, he said, do these times allow for individualized feedback and instruction, but they also give students a chance to talk about concerns outside of the classroom.
"Students need to know that your priority is them," said Riddle. "And I cannot confine that concern only to what happens in the classroom."
Unfortunately, busy school-day schedules make it difficult to provide enough valuable one-on-one time, and even the best, most passionate teachers can't do it all themselves. A supportive community is crucial to a good school system, believes Riddle, who noted that citizens who volunteer their time and resources are always welcome.
After all, he said, "A world class education for all students provides benefits for everyone – not just the children who attend our schools."
Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.
'Proof of Heaven' coming to Glen Allen
Dr. Even Alexander, a New York Times best-selling author who has been featured on Oprah and Dr. Oz, was in town last week to promote his June 27 talk, "Proof of Heaven," at Glen Allen High School.
Alexander (pictured, at right, while Unity of Bon Air church member Harry Simmons interviews him) has written about what he considers to be his journey through the afterlife.
Tickets to this month's event are $25 and will support the new Bon Secours Hospice House being built later this year. > Read more.
A triumphant return
Pixar's 'Inside Out' is a magnificent, emotional ride
Explaining the nuts and bolts of Pixar's new, exciting, innovative Inside Out – really digging into the film's shape-and-color explanation of the human mind – would take up the entirety of this review. And probably three or four more (if movies had instruction manuals, Inside Out's would be the size and general poundage of a cinder block).
It's a complicated movie. So here's the gist, in as simply-put terms can be. > Read more.

Michael K. Yamaoka Presents New Exhibition, 'Saturation & Serenity', 1/8
Michael K. Yamaoka takes a new direction in his evocative photography at the Atlantic Gallery in its new location in Chelsea, New York, January 8 - February 1, 2013.
"Saturation & Serenity" explores the tensions between color and form, surface and depth, the ravages of time and the timeless. In photographs of startlingly intense color and almost palpable texture, Mr. Yamaoka captures the embellishments nature has added to the artifacts man has created. The brilliant color, inherent, but often subdued in the original images, has been enhanced in these new works, to depict a heightened reality.
"The color and texture were already there," says Mr. Yamaoka, "but muted-not readily apparent. What I've done is bring out the beauty in places and things that goes unnoticed. By manipulating the images digitally, I offer another view of such mundane things as a crumbling wall, or reflections in water, so they can be seen as art." Indeed, the colors and especially the textures in these large digital prints are so hyper-real that the surfaces seem to undulate.
Born in Japan, Mr. Yamaoka studied at Waseda University in Tokyo and graduated with a degree in photography from Art Center College of Design in California. He began his career in commercial photography at BBD&O in New York before opening his own studio, where his clients included AT&T, Toshiba, General Electric, PepsiCo, Time-Life and others of the Fortune 500 list. Simultaneously, he built a body of personal work, making images of day-to-day encounters outside the studio.
After the death of his son in 1997, Mr. Yamaoka concentrated solely on his personal photography, publishing a book, Odyssey, A 35 Year Photographic Journey, and establishing a scholarship in his son's memory. Shooting extensively worldwide, he continued to develop the themes of texture, stillness, and singularities, in details that capture the passage of time. He has exhibited in critically acclaimed solo shows in New York, Tokyo, Kyoto, Nuremberg, in many cities in Bavaria, Germany, and at the German Consulate in New York. Mr. Yamaoka's work is included in private and corporate collections worldwide, and in 2008 he was honored when I.M. Pei requested a print for his personal collection.
Says Yamaoka, "I invite you to share moments in time and place captured with my camera; of beauty created deliberately by man or coincidentally by nature; a celebration of our precious world."
The Atlantic Gallery is now located at: 548 W 28th Street New York, NY, Room 540, 212 219 3183, firstname.lastname@example.com, www.atlanticgallery.org. Gallery Hours: 12-6 PM , Tuesday-Saturday.

Gallery: GROW BAGS: Urban Gardening hits London
The re-branded London Festival of Architecture is now in its second week of it's calendar of over 600 events. The Grow Bags: Urban Allotments installation, produced by What If Projects, showcases a 'formerly inaccessible and run-down plot of housing estate land transformed into a beautiful oasis of green. Seventy 1/2 tonne bags of soil have been arranged to become a space for growing food, socializing, picnics and BBQs.'

It is a good project, but hardly earth shattering. There are plenty of similar schemes like this around the world (grow bags on rooftops in St Petersburg and the use of neglected spaces for food growing in Rosario – but on a city scale) and even in London it already exists: Growing Communities in Hackney (http://www.soilassociation.org/web/sa/saweb.nsf/Manuf/growingcommunities.html) has been making use of neglected land for food production for years.
If you go to the organisers' website, it seems that they are keener to promote themselves and their work rather then really thinking about the community or urban food production. Hence the very theatrical "set design" and the emphasis on visual impact. It screams look at me how great I am.

ATI driver problem - please help.
Before anyone states the obvious that this is an Nividia forum, let me just say that I value the intelligence, know-how and experience enough to lay this slightly inapplicable problem to you fine people.
A colleague has a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 1718 laptop that came out with Vista. The integrated graphics card is an Ati Radeon Xpress 200M.
I installed windows 7 on it and as is with most hardware, Windows 7 is not supported.
I've installed the latest legacy drivers - doesn't work.
Fujitsu mentions on their site that you can try and install the normal Vista catalyst drivers for legacy devices but only version 9.3 and earlier.
I have up till now installed version 9.2 Vista; 9.3 Vista; and the latest 12.1 Vista/Win7 as well as the 10.2 Vista Legacy driver. Nothing works. In the Device manager just Windows' generic driver is used.
What the hell am I doing wrong?
If beer is not the answer, you're asking the wrong question.

Golly: I definitely think so and with the ensuing acreage battle I believe when corn took off last year hogs followed right behind it and made new all-time contract highs so I think we're going to see that again this year.
Pearson: So, some opportunities out there for some profitability, some black ink in the livestock front which is good news and you're also friendly on hogs getting into the first quarter of 2009, less so in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Golly: Correct. And I think there's some good opportunities but if we're in an acreage battle and talking about the corn market rallying substantially producers need to be very smart about getting these feed needs bought for the next six to nine months, get us through the next growing season.
Pearson: You mentioned something else I want to talk about and that was the COOL program, this country of origin labeling, which has been highly discussed and no one really seems to like any of the plans that are out there and yet it is becoming a reality, whether we want to participate in it or not we're going to have to. So, what do you see ahead for country of origin labeling?
Golly: Well, one of the things that I wanted to note today was that there's starting to be a tendency from retailers and packers they're only wanting USA only labels on their products and they're getting that from customers. So, if that's truly the trend going forward is that they only want USA products it's going to be very positive for the U.S. livestock industry.
Pearson: So, keep that in mind, put that on the burner as well as one of the things that is hopefully going to be part of our mix for livestock production for the coming year. Virgil Robinson, a lot of things talked about on the show tonight and one of those is this fund liquidation, this overall financial I don't know if you want to call it a panic or whatever we had in the last week, it certainly looked like one but as we look at what is happening with kind of the air coming out of this commodities bubble a lot of producers saying did we miss it? What's ahead? What should we be doing to maybe take advantage of the opportunities that are out there right now?
Robinson: Mark, I think the U.S. and world supply and demand, the balance sheets probably support the 2009 market relatively well. I mean, we're talking about relatively tight inventories of U.S. and global corn and coarse grain, tight U.S. soybean inventories, more ample world inventories. So, until those begin to visibly grow I don't foresee the market collapsing. Now, futures on the other hand are an entire different entity. As we both realize there can be periods of time where prices are accentuated by activity or events that are very difficult to handicap and you've made mention of one tonight, the "financial crisis" and the fallout from various entities to include the likes of Lehman Brothers and AIG and their subsequent positions with index product. Are there more? Could there be more? You have to guard against that prospect. To suggest you bury your head in the sand and say this financial crisis or however you want to label it is now a mute point and everything is fine is probably a bit misleading. So, prepare for those inevitable or those possible market factors. Soybean meal, soybeans, we're sitting at the year's lows and the fundamentals aren't any different tonight as we perceive them than they were a few short weeks ago. Why is that? Well, we've rationed some of the usage I think in those products and we have changed the mindset of the investment and speculative communities. Should that continue then you have to prepare yourself for what could yet be lower prices. Options play and have a role in this kind of an environment regardless of the premium concern. We're talking about markets that are capable of very large and very swift moves and those who are not in position to absorb that kind of risk need to do something here. You can't bury your head in the sand and say everything is going to be fine. That's probably not very good risk management practice.
Pearson: Absolutely not. And, of course, we're talking about through the end of the year, 2009 may be a different story?
Robinson: Well, it could. Again, the real wild cards I think remain what happens globally. And, again, the signals that were sent not only to the U.S. ag producers but the world ag producers with this significant rise in price I think had been taken to heart by all. I think there will be a herculean effort made globally to increase coarse grain production and oil seed production, the likes of which we have not witnessed in our lifetime. The stronger dollar probably has a role here. Again, I think we're seeing, for example, anything tributary to the Black Sea including the likes of wheat and barley right now trading at values FOB anywhere from $50 to $100 a ton below corn. That takes an effect on demand and that is underway as we visit tonight.
Pearson: We've had a sea change in terms of commodities and the U.S. commodity market.
Robinson: I think there's been a change in attitude. I would concur with that.
Pearson: So, producers be alert. Some good news in the livestock side. Maybe we'll see some cheaper feed costs going forward and maybe some stronger prices in 2009 according to Erin and maybe some pressure on our corn and soybean products as we go forward as well.
Robinson: I think you have to guard and defend against that possibility, Mark.
Pearson: As usual, some great insights Virgil, thank you. Erin, thank you so much. That's it for Market Plus. Thank you for joining us. Tell your friends and neighbors to join us here at our Market to Market Web site each week for more of Market Plus. And for all of us on Market to Market, I'm Mark Pearson. Thanks for being with us. Have a great week.

31 year old man | Phoenix, AZ, USA | Seeking women 27-34 within 10 miles
Hi! I'm Looking for someone who's funny and smart to hang out with, preferably to find a best friend. :)
:) Masks: "She had blue skin, And so did he. He kept it hid, And so did she. They searched for blue, Their whole life through, Then passed right by- And never knew" This sums up the online dating process for me, sadly. These types of sites become more like a dating resume than a place to make a 'real' connection. I'm looking for my best friend, a partner in crime, a supporter, a pair of open arms. I can provide the same and much more. :) I'm very creative, funny, passionate and strike a really good balance between being silly and serious. I like to go out and DO things. I love to cook, especially for someone! ;) I'm pursuing a doctorate in the fine arts while teaching and performing. I also work for a non-for-profit museum in north phoenix. I have pets, and I love animals. I eat healthy and like to play any sport involving hand/eye coordination and cardio. Here are some fun factoids :D 1. I played Danny Zuko in Grease while in HS 2. I will anthropomorphize animals 3. I'm a coconut (white on the inside, brown on the outside) 4. I like ugly sweaters (from my oregon days) 5. I teach Rock & Roll History among other musical subjects (I play anything drum-related) 6. I have a unique personality and I'm a one-of-a-kind. I may be a little shy at first until I get comfortable with someone. I like making people laugh, but I'm not as wild about doing it via pen pals through online dating as much as I am in person.

Everything I do is fun, however, I believe that life is better when it's shared with someone special.

I'm pretty sure this is. Amazon just has the wrong track listing. It's listed as 3 discs and the price sure looks like a deluxe edition to me. There's more info on the three versions at Dylan07(dot)com.

There are 18 tracks not on those 3 albums, and the sound here is very good if you have some older CDs - plus the booklet and collectible cards are a nice bonus. So - I guess it depends on the price and how much those extra tracks are worth to you.

I'm your huckleberry.
We are living in a new era aren't we?.......why can't the girl message first? If you are reading this you've already been caught. And some girls have ADHD, just flat out not replying after initiating in a convo. But I could guess guys are the same way. I have done match in the past, and I was a bit jaded by girls that used it much like "sampling a buffet for an hour". Girls think that guys are on here to get laid, not all of us are. I am returning with the reset button pressed and a fresh set of eyes. I have an idea for what I want in a girl, and I'd like to get as close to that as I can to that. I don't really want to mess around much. I'm looking for my partner in crime, but seriously I'm looking for someone who will drive the getaway car and not leave me by my lonesome at the crime scene. Match is odd. Women that are way out of my league will give me the time of day, while an average Jane Doe will ignore me, leading me to scratch my head with a confused look on my face! PS......If you have a pic of just your animal, DOG/CAT, without YOU......you are instantly getting shot down no questions asked. UNLESS, the animal is actually you because you are a werewolf of some sort. I have a motorcycle that is really cool, should I have a solo pic up of that? I love sunsets, should I have a pic up of that? No, because you are not trying to date the sunset, or my motorcycle, therefore you do not need to see them. Let me give a little advice if I may. Girls, don't put pics that you think are cool, ie solo dog, sunset, or you with a mustache, put something that shows you. I'm not looking to hook up. Don't get me wrong, there are some beautiful girls on here, and I would jump at the opportunity. But ultimately I am not looking for that. If you find a misspelling/typo on this, feel free to tell me as I will use you as my spell check. Think of it as a "where's Waldo" for Internet dating. But be nice!

Scientific Mentors
Fiemu Nwariaku, M.D., Associate Dean, Office of Global Health, and Professor, Department of Surgery
The Nwariaku laboratory is interested in inflammatory endothelial dysfunction; specifically this laboratory examines the role of intracellular oxidants as mediators of cytokine signaling. Their work indicates that oxidants generated by endothelial NADPH oxidase leads to phosphorylation of junctional proteins and subsequent loss of endothelial barrier function.
Their laboratory has expertise in molecular biology techniques including cloning, mutagenesis, construction of viral vectors, and immunoblotting. Other techniques in the laboratory include the use of cDNA mini-arrays, confocal microscopy, and trans-monolayer electrical resistance.
Deborah L. Carlson, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Pediatrics
Research in the Carlson laboratory is focused on examining the consequences of caspase activation in the heart following injury, independent of apoptosis. Our group is independently examining the roles caspases-3 and -8 play in mediating cardiac dysfunction, inflammation, and in regulation of transcription factors such as NF-kB, using both transgenic and pharmacologic models.
In addition, we are also beginning to assess the role that the inflammatory capsule caspase-1 may play in mediating the inflammatory and cardiac pathways. Our current results are very encouraging that caspase-1 plays a significant role in mediating the observed cardiac dysfunction, and in regulating expression of other caspases.
Frederick Grinnell, Ph.D., Professor of Cell Biology
Research in the Grinnell laboratory examines the regulation of cell migration and proliferation by the interaction of growth factors and extracellular matrix. Migration of fibroblasts in three dimensional collagen matrix cultures results in matrix remodeling and contraction, a process that is adaptive and progressive. Molecular signaling and mechanisms that regulate contraction vary according to local matrix organization, and cells switch between proliferative and quiescent states depending upon isometric tension. Tissues and organs are three dimensional structures, and extracellular matrix plays a key role in their organization in vivo.
Dr. Grinnell and colleagues study this organizational function using three dimensional cultures because they introduce complex patterns of dynamic, cell-extracellular matrix interactions not observable in routine cell culture. Above all, this means on one hand that cells will be completely surrounded by extracellular matrix; and on the other hand, that cells will be able to remodel the matrix thereby changing matrix properties and, in reciprocal fashion, cell features will then change as well.
Joseph Hill, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Internal Medicine and Chief of Cardiology
Dr. Hill's research examines molecular mechanisms of structural and electrophysiological remodeling in cardiac hypertrophy and failure. Using molecular, physiological and electrophysiological approaches, they study mechanisms of structural, functional, and electrical remodeling in heart disease. These studies are based on genetic and surgical models of heart disease in animals, as well as patients with hypertrophic heart disease and cardiomyopathy.
Specific questions being studied at present include: mechanisms governing the pathological growth response of the myocardium; autophagy as a novel mechanism of remodeling that contributes to the transition from stable hypertrophy to heart failure; mechanisms of Ca2 metabolism in hypertrophied and failing ventricular myocytes with particular emphasis on transcriptional and post-translational regulation of the L-type, Ca2 channel; phosphoinositide-dependent signaling pathways (and downstream targets) in cardiac hypertrophy and failure; and regulation of circadian gene expression by environmental stimuli.
Ahamed Idris, M.D., Professor of Surgery, Director of Emergency Medicine Research and The Dallas Center for Resuscitation Research
Dr. Idris leads the Dallas Center for Resuscitation Research, one of eight U.S. and two Canadian centers funded by the NIH, Department of Defense, and the Canadian Health Service. This is the first time that resuscitation science has received major funding from national agencies. The purpose of these centers is to study novel interventions that may improve outcome from cardiac arrest and severe traumatic injury.
The primary focus of the research centers is to study interventions that can be used by emergency personnel for immediate resuscitation before the patient arrives at a hospital. The Dallas Center alone annually cares for more than 2,000 cardiac arrest patients and 3,600 severe traumatic injuries. All 10 centers collectively have more than 10,000 cardiac arrests and 26,000 traumatic injuries per year.
This group conducts controlled trials each year, including controlled ventilation for all intubated patients, hypertonic saline and antioxidants for trauma, recombinant factor VII for severe hemorrhage, and a number of different drugs, hypothermia, and the impedance threshold device for cardiac arrest.
Michael Jessen, M.D., Professor of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery
The Research Laboratory of the Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery has ongoing projects that investigate myocardial metabolism under conditions that are encountered during cardiac surgical procedures. A focus of these investigations has centered on increasing our understanding of changes in myocardial substrate oxidation rates and substrate selection by the heart, particularly under conditions of cardioplegic arrest and hypothermia.
Investigators in the laboratory have made novel observations that these conditions, which mimic those created in cardiac surgical operations and lead to a suppression of fatty acid utilization by the heart. Additional studies have probed the metabolic mechanisms behind this process using conventional biochemical analyses and magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
These studies will increase our understanding of myocardial biochemistry and metabolism and may enable us to devise new methods to protect the heart during open-heart surgery.
Investigators in the laboratory have also used these techniques to study metabolism of the lung under conditions that simulate storage for lung transplantation. Here, early studies made the observation that a considerable degree of oxidative metabolism continues within pulmonary tissue during hypothermic storage and is related to the available alveolar oxygen in the stored pulmonary allografts.
Lung metabolism can be influenced by altering the composition of the storage solution and these alterations can lead to improvements in post-reperfusion lung function. These studies may lead to the development of superior strategies for lung preservation for transplantation.
Steven McKnight, Ph.D., Professor and Chair, Department of Biochemistry, holder of the Distinguished Chair in Basic Biomedical Research and the Sam G. Winstead and F. Andrew Bell Distinguished Chair in Biochemistry
Genes are switched on and off in eukaryotic cells via regulatory proteins commonly termed transcription factors. The research focus of the McKnight laboratory centers on a subset of transcription factors that are gene specific. In simple terms, a gene may be subject to regulation by a given transcription factor if it contains high affinity binding sites for that factor in a functionally relevant region – promoter, enhancer, or silencer.
This simplistic dogma is complicated by a variety of complexities that have emerged from studies of eukaryotic gene regulation over the past decade. For example, individual transcription factors tend to exist as members of multiprotein families whose DNA binding activities can be indistinguishable when analyzed as isolated biochemical entities. It is therefore problematic to assess which member of a related family is responsible for a given regulatory event.
It has also been recognized that gene specific transcription factors can obligatorily rely on heteromeric partners. A competent DNA binding version, that is, may rely on the formation of a protein complex consisting of two or more entirely distinct polypeptides. In certain cases, gene specific transcription factors retain the ability to bind DNA avidly, yet are unable to functionally regulate transcription at the level of activation or regression without the help of co-activator or co-repressor proteins.
Biologic activities of transcription factors are universally regulated in cells by covalent post-translational modification, including phosphorylation and proteolysis, or by non-covalent interaction with small molecule metabolites or ligands.
Luis Parada, M.D., Professor of Developmental Biology
Our long-standing interest lies in the elucidation of regulatory pathways that control the complex process of nervous system development and the consequences of inappropriate development which can include behavioral and mood disorders as well as cancer.
We have focused on the functions of the trk gene family, which encodes transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) that act as receptors for the nerve growth factor (NGF) family of neurotrophin ligands. Through the use of knockouts and conditional knockouts for the genes encoding the neurotrophins: brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT3), neurotrophin 4/5 (NT4/5), as well as for the TrkA, TrkB and TrkC receptors we study deficiencies in the formation of the nervous system.
In addition to roles in sensory and sympathetic neuron survival, we have identified roles for the neurotrophins in CNS in stem cell development, nerve sprouting, and synapse formation. Loss of function in discrete CNS regions can lead to complex behavioral disorders, some of which may model neuropsychiatric disorders.
A related line of study is of the human disease Von Recklinghausen's Neurofibromatosis (NF1), which is a classic familial cancer disease. Studies of the NF1 tumor suppressor have yielded unexpected findings in the regulation of neurotrophin signaling within the cell. We have developed mouse models of NF1 that replicate the tumor phenotypes in human including tumors of the peripheral nervous system and glioblastoma.
A third area of research focuses on identifying molecules in myelin that inhibit nerve regeneration after injury. We have developed evidence the ephrins, molecules with nerve outgrowth inhibitory properties during embryonic development, have potent myelkin based inhibitory function in the mature spinal cord.
Michael G. Roth, Ph.D., Professor and Vice Chair of Biochemistry
The basic unit of life is the single cell and understanding how living organisms function ultimately requires learning how the parts of a cell work together. The components of cells are made in a few locations and then transported to other places where they function and then to yet other locations for disposal. This requires a complex traffic of molecules within the cell, even in a simple cell such as a bacterium.
Animal cells are far more complicated than bacteria and are compartmentalized into a number of distinct organelles, each separated from the others by a limiting membrane. The traffic of the lipids and proteins that make up these membranes is exceedingly complex and involve the exchange of small membrane vesicles between organelles. The focus of the Roth laboratory is to understand these vesicles and how they select the right cargo.
They use recombinant DNA technology to make mutant proteins that they introduce into cells to see how they are recognized and transported within the cell. They rely upon a variety of biochemical techniques as well as light and electron microscopy to locate proteins within cells. They use genetics and biochemistry to identify cellular proteins required for the intracellular traffic of membrane proteins and lipids.
Because intracellular membrane traffic is very fast, occurring on a time scale of seconds to minutes, they have started a new initiative to look for fast-acting small molecules that can diffuse into cells and inhibit or stimulate membrane traffic. Although the work is basic cell biology, defects in the processes cause human diseases such as cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer 's disease, and lysosomal storage diseases.
Philip Shaul, M.D., Professor of Pediatrics, holder of the Lowe Foundation Professorship in Pediatric Critical Care Research
The signaling molecule nitric oxide (NO), produced by the enzyme NO synthase (NOS), plays a major role in vascular and airway homeostasis. Alterations in NOS function are critically involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and hypertension, and also many lung diseases.
Studies in Shaul's laboratory have indicated that the endothelial isoform of NOS (eNOS) is expressed in a cell-specific manner in vascular endothelium and airway epithelium. We have demonstrated that eNOS is transcriptionally regulated by oxygen and estrogen, it is targeted to specialized plasma membrane domains called caveolae or lipid rafts, and its activity is acutely modulated by oxygen, estrogen, and high density lipoprotein (HDL).
The acute effects of estrogen on eNOS are mediated by a subpopulation of membrane-associated estrogen receptors acting in a novel, nongenomic manner. Regulation by HDL involves scavenger receptor BI, which we have discovered is localized in endothelial cell caveolae. HDL is the most robust agonist for eNOS that has been found to date, potentially explaining the dramatic antiatherogenic properties of the lipoprotein.
Further, we have discovered that eNOS localization and function in caveolae are markedly attenuated by oxidized LDL through changes in membrane lipid composition. Cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying regulation of eNOS expression/function are currently under investigation in isolate caveolae membrane preparations, in native endothelial/epithelial cells, and in reconstitution paradigms using wild-type or mutant forms of the enzyme and interacting molecules.
James T. Stull, Ph.D., Chair of Physiology and holder of the Fouad A. Bashour Chair in Physiology
The research in his laboratory addresses two general aspects of actin cytoskeleton regulation: acute and chronic adaptive. First, in acute studies they have concentrated on relating mechanical events manifested during the course of contraction and relaxation to the generation of biochemical intermediates that regulate contractility. Measurements of stress-strain relationships, shortening velocities, and stiffness are used to provide a primary description of physiological function whose molecular basis is explained with the assistance of structural and biochemical studies.
Kinetic studies are used to relate rates and sites of phosphorylation of contractile proteins to mechanical activation. The importance of different components of the regulatory pathway (kinases, phosphatases, contractile proteins, etc.) is tested by antisense knockdowns, protein transduction domains, and by permeabilized muscle fibers.
Jane Wigginton, M.D., Associate Professor of Surgery
Dr. Wigginton's research has addressed controversial resuscitation/ethical issues such as the salvageability of patients with cardiac arrest presenting with pulseless electrical activity and asystole. Other studies have demonstrated counter-intuitive outcomes or unique findings regarding out-of- hospital resuscitation that have challenged conventional wisdom.
One recent paper actually demonstrated better outcomes with manual compressions by EMS personnel versus mechanical (Thumper) compressions. Her highly notable study on gender-related differences in the presentation and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests found that, in contrast to women with myocardial infarction and other related coronary artery syndromes, women had a better outcome following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Helen L. Yin, Ph.D., Professor of Physiology
The Yin lab has several major research interests:
• PIP2 regulation of cellular functions. PIP2 is an important signaling and scaffolding lipid and this lab examines the role of PIP2 on regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, receptor-mediated endocytosis, and intracellular calcium signaling.
• Phosphoinositide regulation of Golgi functions. The Golgi is the central sorting station for membrane trafficking. Phosphoinositides such as PIP2 and PI4P may be modulators of multiple Golgi functions. Yin identified a phosphatidylinositol 4 kinase (which synthesizes PI4P) as a Golgi resident protein, and it is the major source of the cell's PI4P.
• The effect of burn trauma on phosphoinositide homeostatis and the rational design of therapeutic targets to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with burn and burn/sepsis.

Teletoon Retro (stylized as TELETOON Retro) is a Canadian English-language Category B specialty channel owned by Corus Entertainment that is based on the former Teletoon programming block. The service consists of animated series that commenced production at least 10 years prior to their exhibition.
Along with its French-language counterpart, it is available in over 9 million Canadian households as of 2013; together they have the most subscribers among the digital Canadian specialty channels.[1]
Teletoon Retro began as a programming block on Teletoon. On November 24, 2000, Teletoon Canada was given approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a national English language category 2 specialty channel named Teletoon Retro.[2] The channel never made it to air.
Plans to launch the channel arose again in 2005, when on October 25, Teletoon Canada was given approval again to launch Teletoon Retro.[3] The channel was launched at 6:00 PM EST on October 1, 2007 with its first program being The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show. To coincide with the channel's launch, Teletoon briefly relaunched the Retro programming block. [4] A French language counterpart, titled Télétoon Rétro, which had been given approval to be launched at the same time as Teletoon Retro, was launched on September 4, 2008.[5]
On March 4, 2013, Corus Entertainment announced that it would acquire Astral Media's 50% ownership interest in Teletoon Canada (owner of Teletoon, Télétoon, Teletoon Retro, Télétoon Rétro, and Cartoon Network). The purchase was in relation to Bell Media's pending takeover of Astral (which had earlier been rejected by the CRTC in October 2012, but was restructured to allow the sale of certain Astral Media properties in order to allow the purchase to clear regulatory hurdles).[6] Corus's purchase was cleared by the Competition Bureau two weeks later on March 18.[7]
On December 20, 2013, the CRTC approved Corus's full ownership of Teletoon Canada[8][9] and it was purchased by Corus on January 1, 2014.[10] The channel continues to be owned by Teletoon Canada, now wholly owned by Corus Entertainment under its Corus Kids division.[11][12] On March 1, 2014, a high definition simulcast of the Teletoon Retro was launched. It is currently available on Cogeco & Bell Fibe TV
Although Teletoon Retro is a spin-off from a network devoted to animation, its programming isn't restricted to cartoons as it also airs a number of live-action series such as Batman, Fraggle Rock, and Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

Kyle Kendrick isn't all that remarkable. The Philadelphia Phillies right-hander has a standard pitcher's frame and fairly average stuff. Neither his velocity nor his repertoire particularly stands out. His numbers — 178 career appearances; 137 of them starts — don't jump out at you. But that doesn't mean the 28-year-old isn't an effective pitcher. Relying primarily on sinkers, changeups and control, Kendrick does what a back-of-the-rotation starter is expected to do: He keeps his team in games as often as not. Overshadowed in a rotation that features Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels — and, in recent years, Roy Halladay — he simply goes out and does his job. Kendrick, who is 6-4, with a 3.76 ERA this year, takes the mound tonight against the Washington Nationals. He talked about the evolution of his repertoire when the Phillies visited Fenway Park in May. —— Kyle Kendrick: "I developed my current repertoire over the years. When I got drafted, I just threw a four-seam and a slurve. In 2006, I started throwing a sinker, and two or three years ago I developed a changeup — a split-change. I added a cutter about the same time as the changeup, about two or three years ago. "I started throwing a sinker because my four-seam wasn't getting it done. It was straight — not enough movement — so I started messing around with grips and the ball started sinking. I was like, 'I'll go with that.' I actually throw the two-seam harder than I threw the four-seam, and something that's moving is obviously harder to hit than something straighter. It runs with a little sink. Sometimes if I open up my delivery a little bit it moves more, but most of the time it's the same depth. "I stopped throwing the slurve pretty much right when I got drafted. I tried to throw a slider, but just couldn't pick it up. I throw one now, but I don't throw it a lot. I can make my cutter bigger, so at times it's more of a slider. "With my cutter, it's just a matter of moving my fingers on the seams and how I release it. Rich Dubee, my pitching coach, showed me my cutter grip. From there, I just kept throwing it and throwing it until I got a good feel. "I learned my changeup when I was in Triple-A, at the start of 2009. One of my teammates was Justin Lehr, and Tim Hudson had showed it to him. Basically, I got it from Lehr, who got it from Hudson. It's just a standard split grip, across the seams. I used to throw a circle, but I have small hands, so it felt like it always slipped. I could never be consistent with it. "There's nothing that makes me all that unique. I have a little hitch at the top of my delivery, and maybe that's a little different, but other than that I'm pretty ordinary. I just go out there and try to make pitches."

Next to Kim Jong-un were two other prominent Communist Party officials, his uncle Jang Song-taek and RI Yong-ho, head of the army.
Later we learn that "Lennon and his wife had purchased a condo about a mile and a half from the Mailer home" in Provincetown, RI.
For one thing, RI Sol Ju almost certainly is a pseudonym—leaving the question of what her true identity is.

Hi, my name is Mark. I'm a smart, funny,...
Hi, my name is Mark. I'm a smart, funny, caring, light-hearted, adventurous person. My best quality is my sense of humor. I crack jokes all the time and live to make people smile. I can be goofy when it's all fun and games, but I can be serious when necessary. Loyalty to my friends and family is something I take very seriously. I'm the guy they call when they're in a pinch or need someone they can rely on. As for outdoor activities, I like to ski (but I'm not an expert by any means), hike, snowmobile, fish and camp. Anything outdoors and I'll give it a shot. I run about 15-20 miles a week and run the occasional half-marathon. I'm looking to take up biking once the weather improves and hopefully take a shot at a triathlon. As for indoor activities, I'm down to try a new restaurant, happy hour, dive bar, pub trivia, or listen to some live music. I also thoroughly enjoy crashing on the couch and watching football or a movie. I'm fairly well traveled. Been around the world and most of the 50 states. I'm eager to check out some more. I'm the type who prefers to go off the beaten path, find a hole in the wall bar, and BS with locals than to have my picture taken in front of the star attraction just to post it . I have a fantastic career in a high tech field. I spend my days designing machines that do amazing things. It's definitely a nerdy gig, but it keeps me interested and pays the bills. I love my life and try to make everyday fun as possible. I'm just looking for special someone to share life with. Enough writing, here's some random facts about me - I still have the first car I bought in high school (think muscle car, not 80's Honda Civic) - I tie my own flies - I dislike raw tomatoes. If they're in sauces or cooked awesome, but I can't even drink Bloody Marys due to the taste - I'm originally from Montana which means I hate traffic, love the mountains, tried rocky mountain oysters, and can dance to country music. Although country music is not my favorite, I'm more of a classic/blues rock kinda guy - I can fix most anything. And by fix I mean take it apart and attempt to put it back together in working order. 60% of the time, it works every time - I'm really good at math but can't spell to save my life - I don't see the point of a truck that doesn't have 4 wheel drive - I coach a high school robotics team. - I brew my own beer. My specialty is Oktoberfest - My favorite color is green If you're interested and want to know more, just ask. Better yet, let's meet up for a drink and actually have a conversation.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Gardening/Landscaping , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
Middle of the Road
Steven's Pass, Wenachee National Forest, Darrel's Tavern, Tractor Tavern, Big E's Ales, Montana
LIVE MUSIC!! I love live music. My favorite's are blues rock (Jack White, The Black Keys, etc) Classic Rock (from Reo Speedwagon to Led Zepplin), but I listen to pretty much anything
Running, restoring old cars, dive bars, camping, watching Steelers games,
I think the last book I read was a textbook, studying for my PE exam. I know that you would love to hear all about it. Aside from riveting career reading, the last was Freakanomics and prior to that The Universe in a Nutshell. More riveting stuff.

You need to buy license for Informatica PowerCenter software from Informatica separately.
However, if you have SFCFSHA license already, you do not need separate license for Symante agent to manage Informatica PowerCenter for HA.
You can download the agent from https://sort.symantec.com/agents.

About Me
I'm a Fellow at the Adam Smith Institute in London, a writer here and there on this and that and strangely, one of the global experts on the metal scandium, one of the rare earths. An odd thing to be but someone does have to be such and in this flavour of our universe I am. I have written for The Times, Daily Telegraph, Express, Independent, City AM, Wall Street Journal, Philadelphia Inquirer and online for the ASI, IEA, Social Affairs Unit, Spectator, The Guardian, The Register and Techcentralstation. I've also ghosted pieces for several UK politicians in many of the UK papers, including the Daily Sport.

This Is Annoying Me...
Innumeracy in journalists. Being an arts graduate who can write does not mean having to give up on numbers and sums.
This Is Making Me Worry...
People misunderstanding economics. It isn't a way of describing what we or you ought to do, it's just a way of describing how, if you want to get somewhere, the path from here to there.

Montgomery Place keeps a low profile, its dark exterior embellished by a couple of tables outside in summer. Inside, the prime table just by the window is usually taken, as are the places at the bar; for intimacy, head, instead, to the more spacious back area.
Declaring that the bar takes its inspiration 'from the roaring era of Hemingway… and the rebirth of cool', the venue's thick, juicy menu contains plenty of variety: the extra-dry Montgomery Style martini blends ice-cold Tanqueray with a suspicion of Noilly Prat; the mint julep is built around Woodforde Reserve; and the Old Cuban is a combination of a mojito and a champagne cocktail. Look out, too, for in-house mixes such as the Silver Pine (Havana Club, Campari, grapefruit, agave nectar and passion-fruit syrup), created at the bar's now-closed sister operation Dusk in Battersea.

2008 James Bond movie, sequel to Casino Royale starring Daniel Craig< read all 17 reviews
Having watched all the Bond movies, especially the ones with Sean (the one and only) Connery, I'd have to say that as far as Bond movies go, this one is a non-Bond. While I understand the need to change things up a little and freshen the franchise, there are some things you just don't mess with.
Broken bonds include:
1. Gadgets – there aren't any – it's completely Q-less
2. Car – pedestrian
3. Puns – one weak one (blink and you'll miss it)
4. Martinis – I'm shaken, but not stirred
5. Girls – one without a cool name, one just passing through
6. Evil plot – watered down yet dry as the desert
7. Villain – wouldn't scare a fly – just a typical avaricious businessman with friends in high places
8. Cool suave secret agent - gone
This latest addition to the 007 collection has much in common with "The Bourne Identity" and "The Transporter" and is acceptable as a fast-paced, car-chasing, action movie with its rough and buff hero, but it just isn't Bond – period.
Daniel Craig stoically plays the role of a vengeful man, and to his credit, he handles the action scenes very well. Mathieu Amalric is a suitably slimy power-hungry despot, but is not really impressive as a villain (through no fault of his own). Olga Kurylenko adds eye candy, but never bonds with Bond, and Judi Dench, as usual, plays a perfect M.
Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):
1. Brooding Bond's singing the blues over Vesper Lynd (you'll need to see Casino Royale to know why)
2. He uses his License to Kill until it gets as thin as M's "we are not amused" lips
3. He soon discovers where Greene Planet is getting its green from
4. Bad guys from "Quantum" find no solace at the opera when Bond displays his skills at Tosca interruptus
5. M tries to take him down through Strawberry Fields, but unfortunately Strawberry Fields may not always be forever
6. Bond finds a girl with similar motives, but no attraction or magnetism
7. Explosive action follows
8. Bond seeks closure from (1) above
To quote M at the end of the movie, "Bond, I need you back"
My sentiments exactly

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
An Australian shale oil and gas explorer, which counts Santos Ltd. as a major shareholder, is seeking new funding ahead of a possible initial public offering next year.
Tamboran Resources aims to raise up to 19.9 million Australian dollars (US$20.5 million) in new funds, according to a investor presentation seen by The Wall Street Journal.
Tamboran hopes to place between 6.63 million to 13.26 million shares at A$1.50 each. Santos owns 14% of the stock after acquiring A$10 million-worth of shares at the same price, according to the presentation. Total diluted capital after the raising will be between A$93.2 million and A$99.8 million.
The company owns permits or has applied for tenements spanning more than 27 million acres, which it thinks contain unconventional oil and natural gas. These blocks are located in areas including the Ngalia, Pedirka, Beetaloo and McArthur basins of Australia, Botswana's Karoo Basin and Ireland's Lough-Allen Basin.
Linc Energy is providing the latest test of interest in the Australian Outback and its potential to emerge as another global hotspot for shale oil.
The Australian company has appointed Barclays to advise it on the partial sale of a vast tract of exploration acreage in South Australia state's remote Arckaringa Basin, which it acquired over four years ago for around US$100 million.
Linc, which has a market value of 1.1 billion Australian dollars (US$1.16 billion), will be hoping it catch a recent wave of deals in the area including Total SA and Santos Ltd.'s investments late last year in assets held by small local explorer Central Petroleum Ltd.
Texas-based private oil and gas producer Lonestar Resources may have bowed out to Aurora Oil & Gas in the pursuit for shale oil player Eureka Energy earlier this year, but a deal with Amadeus Energy announced Monday means it will secure an Australian Securities Exchange listing.
Shares in Amadeus rose 4.3% to 24.5 cents a share after the company announced it would purchase 100% of Lonestar's London-based holding company, Ecofin Energy Resources.
"We believe this will create a company with a significantly more compelling investment proposition…and the potential for substantial future earnings growth from both existing assets and new acquisitions," Amadeus chairman Craig Coleman said.
Small is beautiful for Australia's IPO market.
Oil explorer Real Energy Corp. is advancing plans to list on the ASX, in what's likely to be the third-largest initial public offering in Australia this year.
Sydney-based Real Energy, which was formed by former executives of Mosaic Oil, hopes to raise 30 million Australian dollars (US$31.2 million) via an IPO to advance exploration for shale oil and conventional oil resources in the Cooper Basin.
It has engaged Patersons to assist with the IPO process and aims to join the ASX with a value around A$90 million by the end of the year, Chief Executive Scott Brown told Deal Journal Australia.
First the bet was on U.S. shale gas, now it's shale oil.
But for investors in BHP Billiton, should it be a case of once bitten, twice shy?
BHP blamed weak U.S. natural gas prices for a US$2.84 billion writedown of assets acquired last year from Chesapeake Energy Corp., but opted against taking a charge against an even bigger shale deal: the US$12.1 billion purchase of Petrohawk Energy Corp.
It isn't hard to see why. The Petrohawk deal was BHP's biggest since Marius Kloppers became CEO of the Anglo-Australian mining giant in 2007. Mr. Kloppers has seen takeover bids for Rio Tinto and Potash Corp of Saskatchewan Inc. come to nothing, while BHP's share price continues to languish near three-year lows.
It ain't over till it's over.
Just hours after Aurora Oil & Gas said it won't extend its 107 million Australian dollar (US$105.6 million) offer for Eureka Energy beyond next Friday, signaling an end to a seven-week takeover tussle for the U.S. shale oil developer, a rival bidder has thrown its hat into the ring.
Closely held Lonestar Resources, which owns 5,691 net acres in the Eagle Ford Shale in Texas among other U.S. assets, has offered Eureka an alternative to Aurora's rebuffed cash bid worth 45 Australian cents a share.
Details of Lonestar's proposal are thin, with talks due to take place with Eureka's board this weekend.
Aurora Oil & Gas may drop its 107 million Australian dollar (US$105.5 million) cash offer for Eureka Energy on concerns about the terms and conditions of its target's new debt facility, a person familiar with the matter told Deal Journal Australia.
Aurora is exploring the withdrawal of the bid because it is worried the up to US$50 million debt facility that Eureka has lined up through Macquarie Bank is too costly and can be drawn down without shareholder approval, the person said.
Australian-Canadian listed Aurora Oil & Gas has raised 120 million Australian dollars (US$119 million) through the issue of 33.8 million new shares at A$3.55 or C$3.55 a share.
Aurora initially hoped to raise A$219 million through the issue 60 million shares at A$3.65 a share, a person familiar with the matter told Deal Journal Australia after the stock entered a trading halt on Tuesday.
Aurora Oil & Gas has appointed Australia's Euroz Securities and Canada's TD Securities as joint lead managers for a proposed global capital raising.
The company is poised to raise 219 million Australian dollars (US$218 million) through the issue of 60 million shares at A$3.65 a share, a 5.9% discount to the stock's last traded price of A$3.88 a share, a person familiar with the matter said. Shares in Aurora entered a trading halt early Tuesday.
Eureka Energy's board of directors have advised shareholders to reject Aurora Oil and Gas' unconditional offer for the shale oil player which values the company around 107 million Australian dollars (US$110.1 million).
"The Board considers the offer to be opportunistic and designed to solicit shareholders to sell their shares at a time when the Company's strategic direction and underlying potential is still emerging," Eureka's executive director and acting managing director Bill Bloking said.

Fishing / Area Activities
During the summer, the Solitude pond is full of "giant" rainbow trout, which kids 12 and under are welcome to try and catch (catch and release only).
If you're over the age of 12, try your luck with the native brook trout in Big Cottonwood Creek or one of the other nearby rivers. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the blue-ribbon waters of the Provo Canyon, which features some of the best brown trout fishing in the state (UT fishing license required).
