Chef Paz offers Peruvian taste of home
Food is a powerful thing. It nourishes, it brings people together, it makes a little corner restaurant in West Allis feel like a dining room in Peru.
It transports the diner even more so when many of the other guests at Chef Paz - named for its owner, Maritza Paz - appear to be Peruvian expats, looking for a taste of home. (One guest said he'd made the drive from Madison to have the chef's food.) »Read Full Article(2)
Singers blend magically in MSO's Baroque music concert

Guest conductor Nicholas McGegan led about 40 Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra strings, plus harpsichord/continuo organ, through an engaging program of Handel, Pergolesi and Scarlatti. They were joined by soprano Yulia Van Doren and countertenor Daniel Taylor. »Read Full Article

Art Print
Bundesliga Football - Eagle Logoby Miniboro
Collect your choice of gallery quality Giclée, or fine art prints custom trimmed by hand in a variety of sizes with a white border for framing.
I was recently contacted by Bundesliga Football (@BLFuk) who are launching a new website dedicated that corner of the globes footballing powerhouses. Anyway they were after a logo / brand and wanted to know if i could come up with something suitably 'Germanic'
I knew the site would be based on the black, red and gold colours of the German flag, so thought what better muse than the German Eagle to accompany it. An authorative and imposing theme, I felt it would give just the right kind of vibe to a site in its infancy.
The version shown here is one of the designs that was rejected ,but I always quite liked it, so decided to put it up as poster and see if people agreed.

I saw it too. As a kid the film was fantastic but as I got older it looked more and more tacky, especially the explosions which look like something from Thunderbirds. The flying made up for it though.
Ive just been watching 633 Squadron on ITV4, fantastic flying sequences but then again Im a Mossquito fan. But apart from that the film is dire, George Chakaris as a Norwegian!!!! And thats just the start, I wont bore with the rest of my criticism Ill leave that to Barry Norman.

If I remember right from the book, he was an ex eagle squadron bod who stayed in the RAF instead if transferring to the USAAF.
For the simple reason that it was made by an American company, and an American would sell tickets in the states. I read on Wiki that the book on which its based was itself an amalgamation of various RAF exploits, and I agree with that. To me its a sort of poor mans Dambusters.
These photos are courtesy of Charles Waitkus of West Virginia. He was stationed at RAF Burtonwood and moved to RAF Bovingdon. He worked on the two AACS Flight Check aircraft assigned to him. The C-47 Gooneybird (Dakota) call sign '9250' was one of two used to verify the accuracy of USAF Navigational Aids in the UK. The second photo is of the Control Tower at Bovingdon. Both of his birds had checked my RAF Bruntingthorpe Navigational Aids on numerous occasions.
Meeting these planes and crew was always an exciting event. Jack

According to the Air-Britain DC-3 history, 43-49250 went to the Royal Thai Air Force in 1964. After withdrawal from service, it was preserved at Lopburi Thai Army Aviation Centre and was reported there in November 1995. It probably still exists!
Thanks Dave, I must have found the same entry about 49250. During my search I tried to determine if 49250 was still at Lapburi but could find no record of it there. Maybe future searches will solve this mystery. I will pass your entry #28 to Charley Waitkus.
Latest on the C-47 flown out of RAF Bovingdon with tail number 49250:
Email received from Steve Darke:
Hi Jack, as far as I know it is still preserved at Lopburi RTAFB in Thailand. It was certainly still there in 2000. See photos I took in 1995 at
I think from memory that it is the C-47 which can be seen on Google Earth at 14°56'12.70"N, 100°39'8.04"E (image taken Jan-04).
See also an earlier photo of it at

Short Summary
My name is Duquesne Fednard and I am from Haiti. Four years ago I set up D&E Green Enterprises to help tackle some of the big problems facing my country.
My company has developed a efficient charcoal cooking stove called the EcoRecho. The EcoRecho uses 50 per cent less charcoal than traditional Haitian cooking stoves. Our stove saves families money on fuel, leaving more to spend on food and education. We believe the EcoRecho can make a real difference to lives and the environment in Haiti.
Our first stove factory was destroyed in the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Since then we have been making our stoves in tents, and those tents were recently damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Thus far, we have produced more than 33,000 by hand.
What We Need & What You Get
Our immediate goal is raise at least US $60,000 to rebuild the factory and get into full production so that we can make the maximum difference in Haiti. With your involvement, we will move from this shredded tent to a factory similar to the picture below.
In return for your generous contribution you'll be able to visit the project, experience Haiti through its arts and crafts and even be a part of a spcecial advisory board for the project.
A majority of the three billion people in developing countries cook almost exclusively with wood and charcoal, which is also the primary cooking fuel in Haiti. Though cheap to purchase, these fuels have high hidden costs.
Health impact
"EcoRecho significantly reduces the indoor air pollution caused by burning charcoal "
The Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) caused by burning charcoal can lead to chronic, even fatal, respiratory diseases. It has been estimated that the average life span in Haiti is shortened by 6.6 years due to the impact of indoor air pollution caused by indoor burning of biomasses such as charcoal. Acute Lower Respiratory Illness (ALRI), the number one global killer of children under five years of age is also the number one killer of under-fives in Haiti, with ALRI mortality estimated to be over 11%.
Environmental impact
"EcoRecho has been shown to reduce charcoal consumption by at least 50%"
Charcoal is made from trees. Charcoal making is therefore highly detrimental to Haiti's landscape, farming, and overall economic status. On average 0.1 hectare of forest is required to produce 1 ton of charcoal.
Tree cover in Haiti has fallen from 63% in 1923 to 1.5% of total land today. Rapid deforestation has led to soil erosion and severe flooding, thus affecting agricultural yields and spurring more people to leave the rural areas and move into already overcrowded cities.
Economic impact
"A successful adoption of the stove would translate into cash savings of US$150 per year for a family"
The cost of cooking fuel is quite high in Haiti; typically a poor family spends about 23% of its income on cooking fuel. Several factors explain the high cost of cooking fuel in Haiti.
● First, there are many middlemen and distributors that cause a spike in the price of cooking fuel.
● Finally, rapid urban growth has radically increased the demand for domestic fuels because charcoal is consumed mostly in cities.
The recent earthquake in Haiti has devastated and laid bare its already fragile infrastructure. Unemployment is consequently rising and will further diminish the purchasing power of the population, creating a greater demand for Haiti's most accessible fuel.
Transforming the stoves market in Haiti by encouraging Haitian consumers to buy efficient charcoal stoves. If consumers replaced conventional charcoal stoves with efficient charcoal stoves in Haiti, deforestation will decrease, the health of users will improve and family and community spending on energy will decrease.
We need your help to rebuild our factory and bring EcoRechos to the Haitian market place! By doing so, you are contributing to economic and environmental renaissance of Haiti.
Your contribution will not only help Haiti escape the energy poverty cycle but will also help create at least 400 jobs through direct employment, distribution chain development and construction work while contributing to lowering carbon emissions and protecting the environment .
Recognitions and Awards:
Over the past three years, D& E has received recognition for bringing clean and efficient stoves to the Haitian market from institutions that include:
D&E is also a proud member of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), the UN Sustainable Energy for All initiative and the Clean Stove Alliance.

1. Re: Anyone heard of Alpha PC Care?Ex_Brit Feb 15, 2012 6:44 AM (in response to bdk)
If you have Call Screen service I suggest you add the number as it's 99.9% surely a scam.
First of all Microsoft has never, ever called anyone without them first contacting Microsoft.
Secondly, how does any stranger know that your PC needed attention?
I just did a Google Search for Alpha PC Care Scam and got lots of hits.
You can often get a lot of information by simply entering the 10-digit (area code and number) phone number that called you, assuming you have Call Display, in a search too.
As for that Run command I must have 10,000 .PNF files on my computer and I have no infections I assure you.
What a load of cobblers as they would say back in my home country (UK)! In other words, a load of garbage.
Just another one of many scams I'm afraid.
2. Re: Anyone heard of Alpha PC Care?tyomni Feb 21, 2012 12:31 PM (in response to bdk)
If so You can contact NSA and thay will finde the person. It could be more seriouse than You think cause usually they don't contact victim directley.
3. Re: Anyone heard of Alpha PC Care?Hayton Feb 21, 2012 2:45 PM (in response to bdk)
(I've just added a SiteAdvisor review for them at http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/alphapccare.com/msgpage. Feel free to add your own comments especially if you've received a call from them. If the call was similar but from a different company, add it under that company name. There are plenty of company names, but rather fewer players in the game.)
Alpha PC Care has a website (alphapccare dot com) and contact telephone numbers for the US and UK. One lookup tool places the US number in Vancouver, the UK one in London. The site at first glance looks convincing : paid-for remote support. But ...
Our company registration number is L667256 and registered in Kolkata, West Bengal India
Neither we nor any third parties provide any warranty or guarantee as to the accuracy, timeliness, performance, completeness or suitability of the information and materials found or offered on this website
If you dig a little deeper there is a virtually identical site, now only available as a cached copy from Google, for "virtualpcdoc dot com" ("Virtual pc doc Digital Works")
Our company registration number is L667256 and registered in Kolkata, West Bengal India.
No cancellations are entertained for those products that the Alpha PC Care marketing team has obtained on special occasions like Pongal, Diwali, and Valentine's Day etc.
Their cold-calling methods are illegal and well-known. They claim to be a Certified Microsoft Partner (they are not - see HERE) and also to be Cisco and McAfee certified, which they almost certainly are not.
Microsoft absolutely do not and never will cold-call you with an offer to help clean up your machine. Not even when they discovered tens of thousands of PCs infected with malware that made them part of a botnet.
The Director of Security for Microsoft was on the BBC1 programme last Monday, "You've been Scammed". He stated that neither Microsoft nor its Partners would ever 'phone you as it would be a breach of their privacy rules. It was also stated that these people, as well as trying to get your bank details, can also install spyware and malware on your machine if they gain remote access
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-security/i-receiv ed-a-phone-call-from-someone-claiming-i/4489f388-d6de-416d-9158-0079764bb001
Microsoft will never cold call users asking for personal information or access to your PC. Whenever possible these calls should be reported to your local consumer protection agency.
In the United States you can visit the FTC website to report issues such as these:
If Microsoft discovers that one of its partners is involved in this sort of thing, it (eventually) takes action :
http://www.computeractive.co.uk/ca/news/1909550/microsoft-considers-legal-action -cold-cons
Microsoft is considering legal action against companies in its Microsoft Partner Network that claim to be calling on its behalf to tell people their PCs have been infected with malicious software.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/sep/22/microsoft-drops-partner-accused -scam
Microsoft has finally ejected an Indian company which was one of its "Gold" partners from the scheme after deciding it was taking part in a "fake virus" telephone support scam.
But Microsoft has been criticised for slow action, after one IT consultant said he had been trying to bring the activities of Comantra, based in Kolkata, to its attention for more than six months, and says that the US software giant has been warned about similar companies' actions for at least 18 months.
(Comantra also operates from Kolkata (Calcutta) and the web is full of complaints about it. It is, nevertheless, a legit outfit as far as I can see, with no link to Alpha PC care. The site is comantra-dot-net if you want to check it out. SiteAdvisor reviews are at http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/www.comantra.net/msgpage).
Some reports about the activities of Alpha PC Care :
http://phonenotes.org/3604503952 (US)
http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-360-450-3952 (US, same as above)
http://www.justanswer.com/computer/659om-question.html (US)
Please avoid dealing with these companies and inform them that you know they are a scam and that if they continue to call, you'll report them to the Internet Crime Bureau, which you can file a complaint with here:http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
http://monthly.martlesham.org.uk/2012/jan12.pdf (UK - cached copy)
This area is being targeted at the moment by ALPHA PC CARE who will tell you that your computer is contaminated. BT's advice is "Put the 'phone down".
http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/092298 (UK - reports from victims of cold-calling)
Other examples of similar scams :
http://www.jameswiseman.com/blog/2010/06/03/windows-support-telephone-scam-corru pt-files-and-many-viruses/
... and many many more. Just Google for "Microsoft cold calling".
The only advice I can give here is, put the phone down. It's a scam, no question about it.
4. Re: Anyone heard of Alpha PC Care?Ex_Brit Feb 21, 2012 2:55 PM (in response to Hayton)

Remember Me
Karl Denson's Tiny Universe :: 11.10.05 :: Culture Room :: Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Karl Denson's Tiny Universe hit the stage in front of an audience that was ready to rage, at what has become my new favorite venue, The Culture Room. The show began with keyboardist David Veith tickling the ivories, and one-by-one the other members of The Tiny Universe joined him, including bassist Ron Johnson, drummer John Staten, guitarist Brian Jordan, trumpet player and gadget man (synth, laptop, and assorted percussion) Chris Littlefield, and finally the Diesel Man himself, Karl Denson. "Walt's First Trip" immediately showed the versatility of Denson, as he offered skillful vocals in addition to his ear-bending sax playing. Denson also gets the groove on with percussion instruments as the bandleader lets the others have plenty of solo time. "Dance Lesson #2" had Denson alternating between flute and tenor sax. "Mango Meat" included incredible guitar licks by Jordan and an interesting musical exchange between keyboardist Veith and Littlefield on trumpet. "Outer Space" started as a slow grind (compared to the explosive tempo of the first four songs), but built in intensity before "Apparently" brought the show back to a soaring funky groove that had Denson jamming some of the best cowbell I have ever heard (more cowbell - KDTU got the memo) and a slick guitar solo by Jordan. "The Bridge" found Denson and Jordan trading vocals - Denson with his soulful voice and Jordan making his vintage Gibson hollow-body guitar sing. "Security" began with a tasty drum solo by Staten that led to an impressive duet between the drummer and Denson on tenor. The funk in "Bag of Funk" provided a big finish to the set and had the crowd melded into a single mass of pulsating bodies. Denson explored the low end of his tenor sax with bombs that I have not heard since Michael Brecker (my prayers are with you, Mike) in the Brecker Brothers, and I thought he would explode as he soared from the low end to some incredible high notes, all riding over the lightning fast crunchy bass of Johnson.
Karl Denson's Tiny Universe proved that they are a funk powerhouse with a huge sound and super-tight grooves. Their performance was one of the most enjoyable shows that I have seen in some time.

Not content with seeing the program set to die after the 2009-10 school year, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan (former head of Chicago's school system, which never enrolled an Obama child) gratuitously dashed even the limited hopes of another 200 children and their parents. Duncan, who has sensibly chosen to live with his wife and two children in Virginia rather than the District, rescinded the scholarships already awarded to those children for the final year of the program, beginning in September. He was, you understand, thinking only of the children and their parents: He would spare them the turmoil of being forced by, well, Duncan and other Democrats to return to terrible public schools after a tantalizing one-year taste of something better. Call that compassionate liberalism.
After Congress debated the program, the Department of Education released -- on a Friday afternoon, a news cemetery -- a congressionally mandated study showing that, measured by student improvement and parental satisfaction, the District's program works. The department could not suppress the Heritage Foundation's report that 38 percent of members of Congress sent or are sending their children to private schools.
The Senate voted 58-39 to kill the program. Heritage reports that if the senators who have exercised their ability to choose private schools had voted to continue the program that allows less-privileged parents to make that choice for their children, the program would have been preserved.
As the president and his party's legislators are forcing minority children back into public schools, the doors of which would never be darkened by the president's or legislators' children, remember this: We have seen a version of this shabby act before. One reason conservatism came to power in the 1980s was that in the 1970s liberals advertised their hypocrisy by supporting forced busing of other people's children to schools the liberals' children did not attend.
This issue will be back. In a few months, the appropriation bill for the District will come to the floor of the House of Representatives, at which point there will be a furious fight for the children's interests. Then we will learn whether the president and his congressional allies are capable of embarrassment. On the evidence so far, they are not.

Article: Antigen-Specific Effector CD4 T Lymphocytes School Lamina Propria Dendritic Cells To Transfer Innate Tolerance[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Dendritic cells (DCs) have been shown to play a major role in oral tolerance, and this function has been associated with their ability to produce anti-inflammatory cytokines and to induce suppressive regulatory T cells. In this study, we demonstrate that upon oral administration of Ag, lamina propia (LP) DCs engage specific T cells and acquire a novel mechanism by which they transfer tolerance against diverse T cell specificities. Indeed, when Ig-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) carrying the MOG35-55 epitope was orally administered into either T cell-sufficient or -deficient mice, only the T cell-sufficient hosts yielded CD8α(+) and CD8α(-) LP DCs that were able to transfer tolerance to a variety of MHC class II-restricted effector T cells. Surprisingly, these LP DCs upregulated programmed cell death ligand 1 during the initial interaction with MOG-specific T cells and used this inhibitory molecule to suppress activation of T cells regardless of Ag specificity. Furthermore, oral Ig-MOG was able to overcome experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis induced with CNS homogenate, indicating that the DCs are able to modulate disease involving diverse T cell specificities. This previously unrecognized attribute potentiates DCs against autoimmunity.The Journal of Immunology 05/2013; 190(12). DOI:10.4049/jimmunol.1203552 · 4.92 Impact Factor
Article: T Cell Dynamics during Induction of Tolerance and Suppression of Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The cell dynamics associated with induction of peripheral T cell tolerance remain largely undefined. In this study, an in vivo model was adapted to two-photon microscopy imaging, and T cell behavior was analyzed on tolerogen-induced modulation. FcγR-deficient (FcγR(-/-)) mice were unable to resist or alleviate experimental allergic encephalomyelitis when treated with Ig-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) tolerogen, an Ig carrying the MOG35-55 peptide. However, when FcγR(+/+) dendritic cells (DCs) are adoptively transferred into FcγR(-/-) mice, uptake and presentation of Ig-MOG occurs and the animals were able to overcome experimental allergic encephalomyelitis. We then fluorescently labeled FcγR(+/+) DCs and 2D2 MOG-specific TCR-transgenic T cells, transferred them into FcγR(-/-) mice, administered Ig-MOG, and analyzed both T cell-DC contact events and T cell motility. The results indicate that tolerance takes place in lymphoid organs, and surprisingly, the T cells do not become anergic but instead have a Th2 phenotype. The tolerant Th2 cells displayed reduced motility after tolerogen exposure similar to Th1 cells after immunization. However, the Th2 cells had higher migration speeds and took longer to exhibit changes in motility. Therefore, both Th1 immunity and Th2 tolerance alter T cell migration on Ag recognition, but the kinetics of this effect differ among the subsets.The Journal of Immunology 09/2011; 187(8):3979-86.

Article: Zhang, J. et al. The type III histone deacetylase Sirt1 is essential for maintenance of T cell tolerance in mice. J. Clin. Invest. 119, 3048-3058[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although many self-reactive T cells are eliminated by negative selection in the thymus, some of these cells escape into the periphery, where they must be controlled by additional mechanisms. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying peripheral T cell tolerance and its maintenance remain largely undefined. In this study, we report that sirtuin 1 (Sirt1), a type III histone deacetylase, negatively regulates T cell activation and plays a major role in clonal T cell anergy in mice. In vivo, we found that loss of Sirt1 function resulted in abnormally increased T cell activation and a breakdown of CD4+ T cell tolerance. Conversely, upregulation of Sirt1 expression led to T cell anergy, in which the activity of the transcription factor AP-1 was substantially diminished.Furthermore, Sirt1 interacted with and deacetylated c-Jun, yielding an inactive AP-1 factor. In addition, Sirt1-deficient mice were unable to maintain T cell tolerance and developed severe experimental allergic encephalomyelitis as well as spontaneous autoimmunity. These findings provide insight into the molecular mechanisms of T cell activation and anergy, and we suggest that activators of Sirt1 may be useful as therapeutic agents for the treatment and/or prevention of autoimmune diseases.The Journal of clinical investigation 10/2009; 119(10):3048-58.

Article: Delayed maturation of an IL-12–producing dendritic cell subset explains the early Th2 bias in neonatal immunity[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Primary neonatal T cell responses comprise both T helper (Th) cell subsets, but Th1 cells express high levels of interleukin 13 receptor alpha1 (IL-13R alpha 1), which heterodimerizes with IL-4R alpha. During secondary antigen challenge, Th2-produced IL-4 triggers the apoptosis of Th1 cells via IL-4R alpha/IL-13R alpha 1, thus explaining the Th2 bias in neonates. We show that neonates acquire the ability to overcome the Th2 bias and generate Th1 responses starting 6 d after birth. This transition was caused by the developmental maturation of CD8 alpha(+)CD4(-) dendritic cells (DCs), which were minimal in number during the first few days of birth and produced low levels of IL-12. This lack of IL-12 sustained the expression of IL-13R alpha 1 on Th1 cells. By day 6 after birth, however, a significant number of CD8 alpha(+)CD4(-) DCs accumulated in the spleen and produced IL-12, which triggered the down-regulation of IL-13R alpha 1 expression on Th1 cells, thus protecting them against IL-4-driven apoptosis.Journal of Experimental Medicine 10/2008; 205(10):2269-80.

Article: Fetal Exposure to High-Avidity TCR Ligand Enhances Expansion of Peripheral T Regulatory Cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Lately, it has become clear that regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a major role in the maintenance of peripheral tolerance and control of autoimmunity. Despite these critical functions, the process underlying the development of Tregs remains largely undefined. Herein, altered peptide ligand (APL) variants derived from the proteolipid protein-1 (PLP1) epitope were expressed on immunoglobulins (Igs) and the resulting Ig-APLs were used to deliver the APLs from mother to fetus through the maternal placenta to influence thymic T cell selection. This delivery system was then adapted to the SJL/J mouse, a strain that expresses only the DM20 form of PLP, which lacks the dominant PLP1 epitope in the thymus during fetal and neonatal development. This model, which restores thymic T cell selection for PLP1, was then used to determine whether affinity plays a role in the development of Tregs. The findings show that fetal exposure to low-affinity peptide ligand was unable to drive development of Tregs while variants with higher affinity to the TCR resulted in significant seeding of the periphery with mature, naive Tregs. Thus, contrary to pathogenic T cells, Tregs require avid TCR-ligand interaction to undergo thymic development and maturation.The Journal of Immunology 08/2008; 181(1):73-80.

Article: In trans T cell tolerance diminishes autoantibody responses and exacerbates experimental allergic encephalomyelitis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A number of Ag-specific approaches have been developed that ameliorate experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model for the human autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis. Translation to humans, however, remains a consideration, justifying the search for more insight into the mechanism underlying restoration of self-tolerance. Ig-proteolipid protein (PLP) 1 and Ig-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) are Ig chimeras carrying the encephalitogenic PLP 139-151 and MOG 35-55 amino acid sequence, respectively. Ig-PLP1 ameliorates EAE in SJL/J (H-2(s)) mice while Ig-MOG modulates the disease in C57BL/6 (H-2(b)) animals. In this study, we asked whether the chimeras would suppress EAE in F(1) mice expressing both parental MHC alleles and representing a polymorphism with more relevance to human circumstances. The results show that Ig-MOG modulates both PLP1 and MOG peptide-induced EAE in the F(1) mice, whereas Ig-PLP1 counters PLP1 EAE but exacerbates MOG-induced disease. This in trans aggravation of MOG EAE by Ig-PLP1 operates through induction of PLP1-specific T cells producing IL-5 that sustained inhibition of MOG-specific Abs leading to exacerbation of EAE. Thus, in trans T cell tolerance, which should be operative in polymorphic systems, can aggravate rather than ameliorate autoimmunity. This phenomenon possibly takes place through interference with protective humoral immunity.The Journal of Immunology 03/2008; 180(3):1508-16. DOI:10.4049/jimmunol.180.3.1508 · 4.92 Impact Factor
Article: Innocuous IFN induced by adjuvant-free antigen restores normoglycemia in NOD mice through inhibition of IL-17 production[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The role of Th17 cells in type I diabetes (TID) remains largely unknown. Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) sequence 206-220 (designated GAD2) represents a late-stage epitope, but GAD2-specific T cell receptor transgenic T cells producing interferon gamma (IFNgamma) protect against passive TID. Because IFNgamma is known to inhibit Th17 cells, effective presentation of GAD2 peptide under noninflammatory conditions may protect against TID at advanced disease stages. To test this premise, GAD2 was genetically incorporated into an immunoglobulin (Ig) molecule to magnify tolerance, and the resulting Ig-GAD2 was tested against TID at different stages of the disease. The findings indicated that Ig-GAD2 could not prevent TID at the preinsulitis phase, but delayed TID at the insulitis stage. More importantly, Ig-GAD2 sustained both clearance of pancreatic cell infiltration and beta-cell division and restored normoglycemia when given to hyperglycemic mice at the prediabetic stage. This was dependent on the induction of splenic IFNgamma that inhibited interleukin (IL)-17 production. In fact, neutralization of IFNgamma led to a significant increase in the frequency of Th17 cells, and the treatment became nonprotective. Thus, IFNgamma induced by an adjuvant free antigen, contrary to its usual inflammatory function, restores normoglycemia, most likely by localized bystander suppression of pathogenic IL-17-producing cells.Journal of Experimental Medicine 02/2008; 205(1):207-18.

ABSTRACT: Currently, transition of T cells from effector to memory is believed to occur as a consequence of exposure to residual suboptimal Ag found in lymphoid tissues at the waning end of the effector phase and microbial clearance. This led to the interpretation that memory arises from slightly activated late effectors producing reduced amounts of IFN-gamma. In this study, we show that CD4 T cells from the early stage of the effector phase in which both the Ag and activation are optimal also transit to memory. Moreover, early effector T cells that have undergone four divisions expressed significant IL-7R, produced IFN-gamma, and yielded rapid and robust memory responses. Cells that divided three times that had marginal IL-7R expression and no IFN-gamma raised base level homeostatic memory, whereas those that have undergone only two divisions and produced IFN-gamma yielded conditioned memory despite low IL-7R expression. Thus, highly activated early effectors generated under short exposure to optimal Ag in vivo develop into memory, and such transition is dependent on a significant production of the cell's signature cytokine, IFN-gamma.The Journal of Immunology 02/2008; 180(1):179-87.

Article: Specific T Regulatory Cells Display Broad Suppressive Functions against Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis upon Activation with Cognate Antigen[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To date, very few Ag-based regimens have been defined that could expand T regulatory (Treg) cells to reverse autoimmunity. Additional understanding of Treg function with respect to specificity and broad suppression should help overcome these limitations. Ig-proteolipid protein (PLP)1, an Ig carrying a PLP1 peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 139-151 of PLP, displayed potent tolerogenic functions and proved effective against experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE). In this study, we took advantage of the Ig-PLP1 system and the PLP1-specific TCR transgenic 5B6 mouse to define a regimen that could expand Ag-specific Treg cells in vivo and tested for effectiveness against autoimmunity involving diverse T cell specificities. The findings indicate that in vivo exposure to aggregated Ig-PLP1 drives PLP1-specific 5B6 TCR transgenic cells to evolve as Treg cells expressing CD25, CTLA-4, and Foxp3 and producing IL-10. These Treg cells were able to suppress PLP1 peptide-induced EAE in both SJL/J and F(1) (SJL/J x C57BL/6) mice. However, despite being effective against disease induced with a CNS homogenate, the Treg cells were unable to counter EAE induced by a myelin basic protein or a myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein peptide. Nevertheless, activation with Ag before transfer into the host mice supports suppression of both myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein- and myelin basic protein peptide-induced EAE. Thus, it is suggested that activation of Treg cells by the cognate autoantigen is necessary for operation of broad suppressive functions.The Journal of Immunology 07/2005; 174(11):6772-80.

Article: IL-10 Diminishes CTLA-4 Expression on Islet-Resident T Cells and Sustains Their Activation Rather Than Tolerance[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: IL-10, a powerful anti-Th1 cytokine, has shown paradoxical effects against diabetes. The mechanism underlying such variable function remains largely undefined. An approach for controlled mobilization of endogenous IL-10 was applied to the NOD mouse and indicated that IL-10 encounter with diabetogenic T cells within the islets sustains activation, while encounter occurring peripheral to the islets induces tolerance. Insulin beta-chain (INSbeta) 9-23 peptide was expressed on an Ig, and the aggregated (agg) form of the resulting Ig-INSbeta triggered IL-10 production by APCs, and expanded IL-10-producing T regulatory cells. Consequently, agg Ig-INSbeta delayed diabetes effectively in young NOD mice whose pathogenic T cells remain peripheral to the islets. However, agg Ig-INSbeta was unable to suppress the disease in 10-wk-old insulitis-positive animals whose diabetogenic T cells have populated the islets. This is not due to irreversibility of the disease because soluble Ig-INSbeta did delay diabetes in these older mice. Evidence is provided indicating that upon migration to the islet, T cells were activated and up-regulated CTLA-4 expression. IL-10, however, reverses such up-regulation, abolishing CTLA-4-inhibitory functions and sustaining activation of the islet T lymphocytes. Therefore, IL-10 supports T cell tolerance in the periphery, but its interplay with CTLA-4 sustains activation within the islets. As a result, IL-10 displays opposite functions against diabetes in young vs older insulitis-positive mice.The Journal of Immunology 02/2005; 174(2):662-70.

Article: A Sudden Decline in Active Membrane-Bound TGF- Impairs Both T Regulatory Cell Function and Protection against Autoimmune Diabetes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Autoimmunity presumably manifests as a consequence of a shortfall in the maintenance of peripheral tolerance by CD4(+)CD25(+) T regulatory cells (Tregs). However, the mechanism underlying the functional impairment of Tregs remains largely undefined. In this study a glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) diabetogenic epitope was expressed on an Ig to enhance tolerogenic function, and the resulting Ig-GAD expanded Tregs in both young and older insulitis-positive, nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, but delayed autoimmune diabetes only in the former. Interestingly, Tregs induced at 4 wk of age had significant active membrane-bound TGF-beta (mTGF-beta) and sustained protection against diabetes, whereas Tregs expanded during insulitis had minimal mTGF-beta and could not protect against diabetes. The Tregs probably operate suppressive function through mTGF-beta, because Ab blockade of mTGF-beta nullifies protection against diabetes. Surprisingly, young Tregs that modulated pathogenic T cells maintained stable frequency over time in the protected animals, but decreased their mTGF-beta at the age of 8 wk. More strikingly, these 8-wk-old mTGF-beta-negative Tregs, which were previously protective, became unable to confer resistance against diabetes. Thus, a developmental decline in active mTGF-beta nullifies Treg function, leading to a break in tolerance and the onset of diabetes.The Journal of Immunology 01/2005; 173(12):7308-16.

There's always a trace you'll never get." Indeed, dust is as ubiquitous as it is unremarkable. It is both the byproduct of human industry and what accretes once our industriousness has stopped. It is a bugaboo for museum preservationists, vacuum cleaner engineers, and clean room custodians. It is the cosmic prima materia from which the universe was born and to which we will all return long after the worms have had their fill. And as we are reminded in the documentary's opening frames, dust is the very substance of film itself. What we watch are the shadows of dust, shot through with light.
From an industrial paints manufacturer, to a frighteningly OCD housewife, to a sweetly loopy artist who creates sculptural dust taxonomies, to military scientists testing for radioactive fallout from ballistics currently being used in Iraq, Bitomksy lets his unnamed subjects speak with little interruption on their Sisyphean efforts to analyze, sift through, and eradicate dust. At times, the extended and often extremely technical explanations of particle acceleration and filtration assembly can be tryingly dry. But the straightforward and de-personalized presentation of information is fitting with the film's po-faced tone.
Bitomsky's deadpan facade is tied on extra-tight. But faint traces of a smirk can be made out whenever he pauses on a particularly cruel irony (for instance, when he quotes military philosopher Carl von Clausewitz over photos of American and Iraqi babies deformed by in utero exposure to depleted uranium dust) or takes note of a pathetic one (a hulking, former GDR housing block imploded to make way for a shopping mall). As entropic as it is constant, dust is indifferent to human life or regime change.
Gianvito's film clearly seeks to offer a momentary defense against our country's tendency toward historical amnesia, though it also suggests that history may be one more notch on finitude's marble bedpost. For Bitomsky, on the other hand, history is a dustbin.

Most Canadians believe the country is still in recession, Pollara survey finds
Despite what Statistics Canada says, just over half of Canadians believe the economy is shrinking, according to an annual poll.

Despite what Statistics Canada says, just over half of Canadians believe that the country is in recession, according to an annual outlook survey by Pollara.
Even though Canada's economy has been growing for years, a weak labour market and financial insecurity are casting a dark cloud, said Dan Arnold, associate vice-president of Pollara.
The poll, now in its 19th year, captures the lingering "psychological recession," he said.
"Most people aren't economists. They just go by their gut and how they feel. Right now Canadians feel like we're still in recession," Arnold said. "They're feeling the pinch on the cost of living. They're seeing people who can't find jobs."
The poll asks Canadians to best describe how they feel about the economy. The choices are: severe recession, mild recession, a period of moderate growth, and a period of strong growth.
In this year's edition, 44 per cent said it feels like a mild recession, and 8 per cent said it feels severe. Forty per cent chose growth and 1 per cent selected strong growth. Another 7 per cent said they don't know.
Jobs are the big worry, the survey found. A record high of 34 per cent of Canadians surveyed, just over a third, are concerned an immediate family member will lose his or her job this year.
That's up from 25 per cent from last year's results, and even higher than the 32 per cent registered following the 2008 recession.
"Even if the stock market is doing better than it was in 2008 or 2009, people still feel like there aren't enough jobs out there or the job they have is in jeopardy because businesses are trying to cut back," Arnold said.
The anxiety is most pronounced among those just starting their careers. About 42 per cent of Canadians ages 18 to 34 say it is very or somewhat likely a family member will be out of work in 2014.
"They're the ones who are feeling the most pinched right now and are the most worried about job security," Arnold said.
The Pollara poll, which consists of about 15 questions that gauge personal finance expectations, was conducted online in early December with 1,003 Canadians. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 per cent, 19 times out of 20.
This is the sixth year in a row that Canadians have described the economy has being in recession, according to the poll.
Technically, a recession is a period of six months where the economy shrinks as fewer goods and services are produced. These periods are typically characterized by big job losses and a sharp slowdown in spending by consumers.
The Canadian economy shrank by 2.8 per cent in 2009, then grew by 3.2 per cent in 2010, followed by 2.5 per cent growth in 2011 and 1.7 per cent in 2012, according to data compiled by Statistics Canada.
The agency estimates that the economy grew at an annualized rate of 2.7 per cent from July to September of 2013, the fastest pace in two years.
"Statistically speaking, we are not in a recession," said Benjamin Tal, deputy chief economist at CIBC World Markets Inc.
However, the anemic labour market, particularly among young people, combined with high household debt levels and real estate prices in many parts of the country can contribute to people feeling that they are not able to get ahead in this economy, Tal said.
"People mix-up their ability to operate with a recession, but I do understand that," he said. "It's a sense that the labour market is softening, and wages and income are not rising, and that's what counts as far as people are concerned."
The annual survey also found that nearly one-third of Canadians, 32 per cent, expect the economy to improve in 2014, compared to 16 per cent who are bracing for it to worsen.

is now in a place where he can no longer do harm to anyone, and for that
I am glad. To the families of the victims, I am so, so very sorry that
this has happened. My heart is broken."
Authorities say Aaron
Alexis, 34, walked into work Monday at the Navy Yard's Building 197,
assembled a shotgun in a men's room and killed 12 people before being
fatally shot by police.
Cathleen Alexis has been holed up in her
apartment with journalists camped outside her home since the tragedy in
Washington. On Wednesday, she broke her silence, agreeing to provide the
brief statement.
Deborah Feyerick, a national correspondent for CNN, said Alexis
choked up at times as she read her statement. Alexis declined to say
when she last spoke to her son, why he may have unleashed such violence
and whether she had thought her son was troubled.
told Feyerick she came home Monday after hearing about the shooting and
hasn't been able to leave since. Some co-workers have reached out to the
mother, but on Wednesday she remained alone in her apartment.
who came to Alexis' home as a member of the Brooklyn Clergy/ NYPD Task
Force, spoke to reporters outside Alexis' home after the statement was
released. He said Alexis was deeply pained by her son's actions and was
focusing on the loss of the victims rather than her son's death.
said that in his NYPD role he often visits families affected by
violence. He and several others have been buying her water and food as
well as comforting her.
"She's very, very sad - under
a lot of stress, a lot of duress," Seabrooks said of Cathleen Alexis.
"She's grieving for this tragedy, for her son as well as the victims.
She's a tremendous woman who is very concerned about the other victims.
She's not even mentioning her son."
Seabrooks added that Alexis didn't discuss any personal information about her son and revealed little about their relationship.
also asked reporters outside the home to give Alexis - and her
neighbors - some space. The street has been filled with news trucks and
journalists since Monday.

Foster a Love of Chemistry
It can be a challenge to teach students to love chemistry. Chemistry consists of a lot of memorization and scientific terms. When taught from a book you may find that your stu…dents get bored easily. Fortunately this science can also be a hands-on topic that can foster a love of chemistry and learning in general. In addition to teaching students to see the role chemistry plays in our world, you can also teach them how it affects their lives directly. The younger you teach children the love of chemistry, the more likely it is that they will take this fascination with the world along with them into their adult lives.The best way to teach your child or students to love chemistry is to make it a hands-on experience. Most young students learn by the act of doing. This means providing interesting experiments that will illustrate the concept you are attempting to teach. The right experiments will not only teach a concept, they will also arouse a student's curiosity to learn more. It is that curiosity that helps to foster a love of chemistry.Chemistry experiments should not be overly complicated for young students and should employ a variety of the senses. Abstract thoughts and concepts are difficult for young children. Young students learn best when one of more the senses is involved. Kitchen experiments to make sugar crystals or ice cream allows your children to learn important chemistry principles and enjoy the taste sensations they have created. Other chemistry experiments may require the powers of observation, or the sense of smell or touch. pH paper offers a simple, easy-to-do experiment that requires the powers of observation. Making slime is a popular chemistry experiment that is both fun and involves the sense of touch.Not every student will find his or her love of chemistry and enthusiasm for the world around them in a single experiment. Part of the love of chemistry comes from a student's desire to know the reasons why certain things are the way they are. Young students want to know why the sky is blue, and what makes a bar of soap float. When you provide them with a wide range of different types of experiments, you are encouraging that natural curiosity. Choose a wide range of science experiments that show them how things work as well as those that answer the question why.The love of chemistry is born of the need to know why. The hope of every parent and teacher is to encourage children to want to know more. A successful science experiment is one that leaves just as many questions as it answers. Encourage children to ask questions about the experiments you conduct. You can start by asking questions of your own, and as students begin to look for answers they will want to know more.One of the best ways to foster a love of chemistry in students is for you to share that love. Chemistry is more than a table of elements or a list of formulas. As we rediscover the joys of learning to make a volcano explode or building a water rocket that demonstrates how air pressure works, our students pick up on that enthusiasm. Kids learn by imitation, and if you display a passion for chemistry and a desire to answer the question why, they will follow suit. Make an effort to see chemistry in a new light and to help your students to do the same. Chemistry is filled with wonderful and amazing discoveries, and teaching students the joys of this science is as easy as finding them ourselves.Chemistry plays a vital role in everything we do and in many of the things we take for granted in our world today. No longer relegated to back rooms and scientists with white coats, chemistry is a part of the gadgets and technology we enjoy, the food we eat, and the clothes we wear. As students begin to realize the vital role chemistry plays in our world, you will see their love of chemistry begin to grow. Teach your students to enthusiastically explore that world and you will have gifted them with a lifelong love of chemistry.In addition to being fun, chemistry and science in general teaches students important skills for learning. Science helps to develop logical and creative thinking skills. You can also teach your children problem-solving skills with the use of science experiments. (MORE)
Working as a Chemistry Teacher
Working in the field of education can be a very rewarding yet demanding experience. For those who love the subject of chemistry, it can be very exciting to teach young people …about the in and outs of chemistry, to perform experiments with them, and to help them grow in their knowledge. The rewards are great to see students grow from little understanding about the fascinating subject of chemistry to becoming confident students of the subject. In addition, most chemistry teachers enjoy a two-month or longer summer vacation, which can help enable a strong balance between work and leisure.A chemistry teacher can work in colleges, public high schools, private high schools, summer educational programs, or in select elementary schools. The teacher will spend most of the day teaching chemistry topics, helping students perform experiments, and answering students' questions. They will also be responsible for grading papers and other paperwork the employer deems necessary. Part of the school day will often involve disciplining students. It can be stressful at times, but teachers will enjoy a long summer vacation period in order to recuperate.The minimum education level to become a chemistry teacher is a bachelor's degree. However, many jobs will require a master's degree and a specialized teacher certification. Many states are now offering alternative methods for teacher certification for those interested in the field.According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual salary for a chemistry teacher is over $70,000. The salary range is large for the profession, with 10% making approximately around $40,000 on the lower end of the pay scale and 10% making over $130,000. The location, education, and experience of a person will play a major factor in their annual salary.A love of science, learning, and people skills are important qualities for a chemistry teacher to possess. Being able to manage time, deal with difficult students, and have patience for those who are not as fast to catch on are skills that are needed when working as a chemistry teacher. Since there is a lot of math involved in chemistry, knowledge of the subject is key to being successful.According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job prospects for chemistry teachers are not as optimistic as other fields are. Growth in the number of available jobs is expected to be slow. However, growth is expected to occur over the course of time, leaving room for new graduates to pursue their dreams of working as a chemistry teacher in a school or college.For those who are interested in become a teacher, working to gain an endorsement as a chemistry teacher can help ensure that they are able to teach a difficult subject matter that can be in high demand in certain areas. For the best chance of gaining employment, many people look for work in New England as they have a high level of chemistry-teaching jobs relative to other areas of the country. In addition, New England is one of the highest paying areas of the country for chemistry teachers. Students will be pleased to know that a degree in chemistry can be used for other fields, should they decide later down the line to switch career paths.Educational requirements can vary for potential teachers who work in public schools versus private schools. It is possible to work in a private school as a chemistry teacher with just a bachelor's degree. However, the pay for private school teachers is often less than that of public school teachers. (MORE)
Chemistry Basic Objectives for Home-Schooled Students
Over 2 million students are home-schooled throughout the world. In recent years the largest growth in home-schooling has occurred in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico…, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Of those 2 million students about 300,000 of them are in high school. Those students are expected to complete a basic chemistry course, but many parents wonder what should be taught during home-school chemistry. Keep reading to find out the answer to that question.All chemistry courses should be designed to meet three overall objectives. Upon completion of the course, the students should be able to identify the five traditional areas of chemistry. They are organic, analytical, physical, inorganic, and biochemistry. Furthermore, each student should be able to understand the relationship between pure chemistry and applied chemistry. In pure chemistry the knowledge base is being built for the purpose of expanding knowledge. In applied chemistry the concepts of pure chemistry are applied to solve real-life problems. Finally, the home-schooled student should be able to explain areas where chemistry is used such as forensics, biotechnology, toxicology, environmental sciences, food chemistry, and health.The home-schooled student should learn several things about matter and how it changes during a high school level chemistry course. The student should be able to tell the difference between macroscopic and microscopic views. A macroscopic view can be seen with the unaided eye, while the microscopic view cannot be seen without help of an instrument. The student should also be able to explain the three states of matter. Those three states are liquid, gas, and solid. The student should be able to describe a physical change. Some examples of physical changes include heating, cooling, magnetism, and crystallization. In addition, the home-schooled high school student should be able to distinguish between homogeneous and heterogeneous samples of matter. A heterogeneous sample has two or more phases that are separated by boundaries. Common examples include paint and dirty water. Meanwhile, a homogeneous sample cannot be separated, no matter how hard you try. A common example is cooking oil. The student should be able to distinguish between an element, compound, substance, and a mixture. The student should also be able to describe what happens during a chemical change. The student should know the four clues that a chemical change has taken place. Some of these clues include a new color, a new smell, a new state of matter, or a change in temperature. Finally, the student should be able to apply the law of conservation of mass to chemical reactions.The home-schooled high school chemistry student should be able to perform many different calculations. In particular, they should be able to convert between common measurements such as Celsius to Kelvin. They should be able to convert complex units using dimensional analysis. They should be able to calculate the density of material and understand how density varies with temperature. The home-schooled student should be able to define accuracy, precision, and error of measurement. In addition, the student should be able to list the International System of Units. Common examples of these units include meter, kilogram, second, ampere, Kelvin, mole, and candela.The high school chemistry student should learn many things about atoms during their high school chemistry class. The student should be able to tell how atoms and isotopes are different. They should be able to calculate the number of neutrons and the atomic number in each unit. They should be able to describe the function of an atom and calculate its atomic mass. The student should be able to explain at least four models of atoms including Dalton's model, Thomson's model, Rutherford's model, and the quantum mechanical model. The student should be able to explain Dalton's atomic law. Since 1803, scientists have used Dalton's atomic law that says all matter is composed of atoms which cannot be made or destroyed. All atoms of the same element are identical, although different from those found in other elements. During a chemical reaction, atoms are rearranged. Atoms of elements form compounds. The home-schooled student should also be able to work with formulas of common compounds. They should be able to explain wavelength, frequency of light, and atomic emission spectra. Finally, they should be able to explain the difference between quantum mechanics and classical mechanics. The student should also be able to work with the periodic table.The home-schooled high school student taking a chemistry class should know that there are three different types of bonding; ionic, metallic, and covalent. The student should be able to explain the three properties of ionic compounds. For example the student should know that ionic compounds are solids due to strong electrostatic force and that they have a high melting and boiling point. They should also know that they can be used to conduct electricity. The student should be able to explain the octet rule, which states that atoms with an atomic number less than 20 combine so they have 8 electrons in the valence shell, and the same configuration as a noble gas. They should be able to explain that a cation is formed when an atom loses an electron and therefore becomes positively charged. They should also be able to explain that a anion is formed when an electron is gained through ionic bonding. The student will also be expected to work with covalent bonds.The student should learn many things about compounds and working with compounds. They should learn to measure chemical quantities. They should understand how mass and moles are related. They should be able to state the percent by mass of an element in a compound. They should understand how to work with Avogadro's numbers and should also be able to convert mass to moles and moles to mass. The student should also be able to work with the empirical formula. Students should be able to work with word equations, skeleton equations, balanced chemical equations, and net ionic equations. The home-schooled student should be able to describe several types of chemical reactions.The home-schooled chemistry student can expect to be very busy during his or her chemistry class. The student can expect to learn about the five traditional areas of chemistry. They will also learn about pure and applied chemistry. The student will also learn about different areas of chemistry. Each concept that the home-schooled chemistry student learns will tie into one or more of these overall course objectives.Some students will learn even more during their chemistry classes. Some of the other topics often covered include stoichiometry, states of matter, behavior of gases, water and aqueous systems, solutions, reaction rates, and equilibrium. Students may want to look into the possibility of entering science fairs to keep them motivated to learn. (MORE)

Quality Analytical Chemistry Courses
Analytical chemistry is the practice of determining which chemicals are present in a particular type of matter, and measuring how much of each chemical is present. The work of… analytical chemists is important in areas such as food safety, drug safety, and the diagnosis of diseases. You will usually need at least a Bachelor's degree to be an analytic chemist. Analytical chemistry courses are offered at many American universities.The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Master's program in analytical chemistry was ranked as the best program in the United States by US News and World Report magazine from 2007 to 2011. You need a bachelor's degree for admission to this graduate school, which you are able to obtain at the University of North Carolina with their four-year Bachelor of Science in chemistry program. The graduate school balances focusing on traditional areas such as electrochemistry and microscopy with innovation. It has connections with many American drug and chemical companies, which contribute to learning opportunities.Indiana's Purdue University has a bachelor's degree in chemistry, within which you are able to specialize in either biochemistry, bioinformational sciences, or forensic sciences. Many of the available electives provide technical knowledge, such as materials science, which studies the structure of matter. After the bachelor's degree, you are able to proceed to a master's degree, which offers a specialization in analytical chemistry. This Purdue graduate program is one of the largest in the world, and focuses on the development of new instruments and more efficient measurement strategies for research. You are able to enter a PhD program after completing your master's. Various companies visit the university each year to interview graduating students from the bachelor's, master's and PhD programs.The University of Texas in Austin has a bachelor of science in chemistry with three courses focusing exclusively on analytical chemistry (one is advanced). Within the following Master's program, you must specialize in two areas of chemistry, with analytical chemistry being one of the offered specializations. Students who specialize in analytical chemistry must take several written exams about their subject in order to graduate.The University of Florida in Gainesville has been one of the top American schools for analytical chemistry for 25 years. It receives three million dollars worth of funding per year from the federal government. The school offers a bachelor's program, in which you are able to follow standard chemistry courses or specialize in biochemistry. Students in both tracks take an analytical chemistry lab and have the option of taking an analytical chemistry seminar. The University of Florida offers both a master's and a PhD with a specialization in analytical chemistry as well. The graduate program is quite large, currently taking up four entire buildings.This university, located in Madison, Wisconsin, offers a bachelor's degree in chemistry, within which at least one analytical chemistry course is required. It also offers master's and PhD programs which enable you to specialize in analytical chemistry. This graduate program is ranked among the top five schools in the United States for its research activity. In 2012, more than one billion dollars were spent on research costs. 17 graduates have won the Nobel Prize.As is evident from the programs offered by the schools above, it is necessary to have a good grounding in the basics of chemistry before specializing in analytical chemistry at the graduate level. Bachelor's degrees in chemistry require you to take analytical chemistry courses, as well as other chemistry courses such as those in physical and organic chemistry. Even if you pursue a career in analytical chemistry, these additional courses will complement your knowledge. You will likely be able to get a job with just a bachelor's degree in chemistry, but to obtain the best research positions, you must obtain a master's or PhD with a specialization.A well-known analytical chemist is the late Ronald Belcher, who was a professor at the University of Birmingham. He published many research papers and wrote a book in 1955, "The New Methods of Analytical Chemistry." The Royal Society of Chemistry now gives out an award named after him to a university graduate from Ireland or Britain, who has done exceptional work on an analytical topic. (MORE)
Learning About Chemistry Funnels
Chemistry funnels are very important tools. They are used in many different chemistry experiments to accurately combine materials. Without the use of funnels, combining materi…als into small-mouthed containers would be much more difficult, and in some cases more dangerous. If you have questions about chemistry funnels, this is a good place to start finding answers.A chemistry funnel is a piece of glass, plastic, or metal that is conical shaped, with a tube called the neck protruding from the tip of the cone. They are used to transfer chemicals from one container to another. Specifically, they are used to transfer chemicals into containers with small mouths, which would otherwise be difficult to fill without spilling the chemicals. Funnels are very important tools for a wide variety of chemistry projects.There are many different types of chemistry funnels. Plain funnels are a simple conical shape with various dimensions and neck lengths. Filter funnels typically have thin necks with ridges that are used to support a filter paper so that liquids can be filtered as they go through the funnel. Powder funnels typically have wider necks so that powder can pour through them with greater speed. Thistle funnels typically have a very long neck, and a small conical reservoir. Finally, dropping funnels are cylindrical, regularly-graduated funnels that are fitted with a stopcock that allows the flow to be controlled.A plain funnel is used for transferring many sorts of chemicals from one container to another. However, other types of funnels have more specific uses. A filter funnel is used to separate solids from liquids as well as transfer the liquid from one container to another. The solid pieces should be too big to pass through the filter in the funnel, and only the liquid will make it through. A dropping funnel is specifically used when the amount of material passing through the funnel needs to be strictly controlled. It can be controlled very exactly, even coming out of the funnel one drop at a time. This is used in situations where adding all of the material at once could result in an exceedingly vigorous chemical reaction.It's extremely important to make sure that the funnel you are using is made of the proper material. For instance, do not use a plastic funnel for any corrosive chemicals, because it may melt. Make sure that the material of the funnel will not have any sort of chemical reaction with the material you are pouring through it. It's also extremely important not to expose a single funnel to multiple chemicals that could react with each other. Make sure there is absolutely no powder or liquid residue left in or on the funnel before you use it for a different chemical. When pouring chemicals through a funnel, it is also important to always wear proper safety equipment, including gloves and protective eye wear. This will keep you safe in the event that a chemical is spilled out of the funnel, or if the funnel is overfilled.Funnels are a necessary piece of chemistry equipment. Chemistry funnels come in a wide variety of shapes, materials, and sizes. You should be able to find a funnel that suits your individual needs. These versatile tools make the process of transferring chemicals from one container to another much easier and safer in a laboratory setting.If you are unsure about what type of funnel is safe to use for your experiment, consult an expert before proceeding.

Isa 10:20 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. Isa 10:21 The remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. Isa 10:22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [yet] a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. Isa 1:9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, [and] we should have been like unto Gomorrah. Rom 11:7 What then?
