What does 23+13 =?

What magical number is 23 + 13 = ?
You don't have to be a math whiz to know that 23+13 = 36. So what is so magical about the number 36? Thirty-six is the number of IBM/Tivoli User Groups who have qualified for a Premier Status within the Tivoli User Community program for the 2009/2010 year.
As the Global Tivoli User Community Program manager it's exciting to see that last year we had 23 user groups qualify but this year brought 13 more groups within the fold. These 36 user groups had membership growth rates of 25%+ or have sustained 200+ members along with hosting 2 or more constructive meetings per year. In addition, these groups have strong, stable and proactive customer leadership. It is very apparent that these groups are truly the backbone of the user community.
For achieving this status, each of these groups will receive "appreciation gifts" to give away at their meetings and a Tivoli Executive assigned to their user group to speak or attend a meeting. If you want to view the complete list of 36 Premier Tivoli User Groups. You should also check out the latest Global Tivoli User Communtiy Newsletter where the program was highlighted along with the Premier User Group of Central Ohio TSM.
Join the Global Tivoli User Community or any one of the Premier Tivoli User Groups then do so today! Register
Looking to attend a local user group meeting check out the schedule.
If you are a member of one of these Premier Tivoli User Groups and or have attended a user group meeting let us know what you liked about user group meeting by replying to this blog.

Are Tivoli User Groups dead?

What did you say?...Are Tivoli User Groups dead?...NO WAY!
In fact, with the 23,000+ members around the world and the 140+ local and virtual user groups around Automation, Storage, Security and Asset, the community is as live as it has ever been.
As the Global Tivoli User Community Manager, I wanted to share with you a few interesting facts:
FACT: 15+ User Groups formed in 2009
FACT: Most user groups try to have a physical meeting 1-2 times a year
FACT: 16 User Groups held a meeting in July and August, usually a very quite period for the Northern Hemisphere of the world.
FACT: 38+ user group meetings already scheduled for Sept - Dec. Much more to be scheduled!
FACT: 134 questions asked in July and August using the Q&A tool of the Peer to Peer Knowledge Exchange
FACT: 47 comments have been made by 19 people, using the "Be Heard" capability on www.tivoli-ug.org in July and August
So while the "slow" summer is almost over and fall is fast approaching, user group leaders are feverishly working on setting up local user group meetings and virtual meetings via conference calls before the end of the year and the upcoming Pulse Conference in Las Vegas.
Get connected today and join the Global Tivoli User Community and a user group.
If you have an upcoming user group meeting or would like to share some success stories you've experienced with the user groups, please respond to this blog and let us know!

In this cartoon short, Cartman leads the South Park gang down to the Rational Software Conference in the Sunshine State to - well - pick a fight with some techni-brains over the virtues of incrementally adopting model-driven software development and then skinny-dip in the famous fish fountain in the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel.
"The intersection of his brain and reality is the null set," conclude the over-achieving smarties from Ascendent and iRis before they drop him like he's hot.
I suppose cartoons don't have to worry about a Cheesy Poof per diem and travel expenses, but if you're living
If you are going to RSC, be sure to check out the Tivoli sessions listed below, which detail how we're building a Dynamic Infrastructure through IBM Service Management to integrate development and operational life cycles in the new Smarter Planet.
You can get the full scoop from Al Zollar, General Manager, Tivoli Software, when he delivers the keynote address on June 2. But watch out for South Park shorties cracking crass jokes in the breakouts, diving for coins in the fountains, or unifying their backends with Jazz at Jelly Rolls.

Tour of Tivoli 2009

Yesterday, I was among 150 other IBMers at the "Tour of Tivoli" at the IBM site in Tucson (see photos). Hosted by Laura Sanders, VP of IBM Tivoli Development, the Tour provided demos of Tivoli Service Management technologies that "make sure our customers can deliver what they said they'd deliver within the time and cost they said they could deliver it," as Laura says.
Basically, the tour functioned as an internal state of the union talk where Laura reaffirmed the vision of Tivoli to lead in the Service Management industry by delivering innovative solutions for building and managing a Dynamic Infrastructure that strongly contributes to IBM's initiative to build a smarter planet.
The activities of the day reinforced this vision in very concrete ways by providing educational sessions and product demos of how Tivoli technologies directly contribute to building a dynamic infrastructure and smarter planet. The scope of the demos covered asset management, storage, security, business resiliency, energy efficiency, information architecture, quality assurance, integration, cloud computing, and virtualization.
The vice presidents of development on Laura's team each developed very creative videos explaining the scope and mission of their organization. Dabbling in edutainment, they used concepts from James Bond, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, American Idol, the Geico Gecko, and Johnny Cash to compete for best video. They were all hilarious and very educational at the same time.
Many IBMers tweeted about the experience using the #tivtour hashtag. See the Twitter Search for #tivtour on Twazzup for a running stream of related tweets and photos. The Tivoli Tour runs at many IBM locations this week and in Brazil on May 29. So you can expect to see more Twitter conversations in the near future. You can view a combined pool of photos across the various geographic locations by viewing the Tour of Tivoli 2009 group on Flickr.
I particularly enjoyed the tour because I had a chance to visit with Raj Subramaniam (@ibmstorage on Twitter) and speak with IBM Distinguished Engineer Tom Clark, the Chief Architect of IBM Storage Software, about future innovative storage solutions that will address cloud computing, dynamic information architectures, and the use of new solid state disk technologies. I also had a chance to get a sneak preview of IBM storage archiving solutions that will hit the market in the near future. I could tell you more, but then I'd have to kill you. ;)
While I was in Tucson, I also had the opportunity to interview two IBM experts on solutions they were demoing:
TSM Fastback video: Alistair Symon, Director of IBM Tivoli Storage Software Development, on IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Fastback (See product information)
Cloud and TSAM video: James Damgar, IBM Software Engineer, on IBM Tivoli service Automation Manager (See product information)

On behalf of the IBM TADDM team, I'd like to thank you for the great response to the first ever TADDM Community Sensor Day to help grow our TADDM community! We had lots of folks interested in sensor day because you helped us spread the news of the event pretty far.
While we had lots of interest, we were only able to work with a handful of clients to build a sensor with us on the first sensor day. We also collaborated with some internal IBM teams. The list of sensors produced include: Informix, Managed Objects, Rational Team Concert server, Microsoft Office SharePoint server, and TADDM.
As the sensors complete certification, they will be published on the TADDM exchange site. The first two sensors, Rational Team Concert and Microsoft Office SharePoint server, are available today at http://tinyurl.com/d8yb3f.
Stay tuned for future sensor day event announcements and training!

That is Sensor, not Censor. ;)
At Pulse 2009, we announced a new Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery (TADDM) community on developerWorks. With the advent of this community, we also launched a TADDM group on LinkedIn and Facebook. Today, I'm happy to announce the first ever TADDM Community Sensor Day on April 13, 2009 where IBM experts work with you to build customized sensors and grow our TADDM community.
Mike Mallo, IBM TADDM expert provides the following details on our first ever Sensor day below:
Sensor writers made up of TADDM developers, services, and best practices teams will spend a day with you to write new sensors. Since we are targeting the new "simpler to write" community sensors for this program, we suspect it will take one to two days to complete the sensors with the sensor writers.
Here's how it works. You provide the environment and domain knowledge for the sensor writers to build an application sensor. Setup the application to be discovered on a non-production server that you can make available to the sensor writer so there is no impact to production systems during the sensor writing process. Identify the key configuration files and configuration parameters (up to 10) that TADDM should collect with this sensor.
The sensor writer will write the sensor and make it available for testing, and ultimately for publishing on our TADDM community exchange site.
A few notes:
Since the intent is to benefit the community with these sensors, we are only looking to build sensors for commercially available applications, which others in the community will benefit from as well, such as applications on our hit list: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/tivoliaddm/Sensor+Hit+List
IBM does not support PMRs or APARs on these community sensors. Since the sensor source code gets published with the sensor, community members are free to modify, recertify, and repost to add any capability or fix any issues. As usual IBM supports related TADDM product issues under your current support agreement.
April 13, 2009 is our first TADDM Community Sensor Day. Please show your interest by using the "Submit Feedback" link on the TADDM Community at http://ibm.com/tivoli/community/taddm to receive further logistics and details. Submission deadline is April 8, 2009.

It's a new year and what better way to start it out with a new look. This is exactly what the Global Tivoli User Community (TUC) site has as it kicks off 2009.
Danyel Otteson, program manager of the Tivoli User Community, agreed to provide some insight into what we can look forward to in the site's new facelift.
Q: Tell us a little about the history of the TUC site. What is the purpose of the site, who uses and sponsors it?
Danyel: The Global Tivoli User Community (TUC) was launched in 2003 and celebrated its 5th anniversary this year. The TUC remains focused on "Enabling the Tivoli User" by providing a forum where users can communicate meet and learn from each other's experience by offering both online and offline collaboration services all over the world.
Danyel: First, we gave the site a whole new fresh look to make it more modern and contemporary. We're using a new white and blue color scheme with much more white space and clear segmentation of sections of the site.
Second, we removed a lot of the text-intensive clutter around the site and focused on clear, repeatable actions most commonly used by the community in the left-hand section of the screen:
Third, we provided clear and consistent navigation in the top menu of the site so that users can navigate to key areas no matter where they are on the site.
Fourth, there are four new "Product Zones" designed to streamline the most up-to-date information on product-specific user group meetings, special events, trainings, demos, forums, and much more!
Fifth, new users to the site can:

Im a Web 2.0 person, so you can bet I like to play around with video technologies. Some of our Business Partners joke that I should strap a videocam to my head like Justine Ezarik, a talented, young viral video comedian.
Its no surprise then that the top item to catch my eye--besides Redmonks Michael Cotes intriguing insights on a week of Cloud conferences (part 3)--in my feed reader today was the announcement of a cool new Web replay technology released in the IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager (TPM).
The Web replay allows users to record sequenced tasks for training IT staff on using the TPM interface, provisioning systems, and setting up test-bed environments in an efficient, routine and consistent manner in contexts that can sometimes be pretty complicated. A great Tivoli Beat article covers the business value benefits and includes links to a demo and podcast.
We can check Web replay off the list. Now what could we do with an iPhone? ;) If you have innovative thoughts on how we could improve IBM products with rich media and Web 2.0 technologies to enable your business scenarios and goals, let me know. You may soon have the ear of one of our product developers.
Tivoli blogging 101
Tiffany Winman 12000065XB email@example.com Tags:  eam bsm governance blogging risk storage tivoli service-management pulse security blogs community 2,145 Visits
As you navigate the Web, youll notice that Tivoli engages in the blogosphere in a variety of ways, for example, group blogs and individual blogs. I want to provide a little perspective on the differences here.
Group blogs
This is the official Tivoli blog, where the Tivoli Web and Communications team and guest bloggers, share news, statements, and perspectives from the IBM Tivoli organization. However, this blog also serves as a multi-directional channel for listening to our public stakeholders, exploring new ideas, collaborating on solutions, and sharing links or resources between community members. Often, we will discuss various perspectives or pose specific questions for public feedback. And, we encourage the extended sharing of questions, answers, links and resources in our IBM Tivoli community.
The IBM Service Management blog is similar to the Tivoli blog in nature; however, it focuses on the discipline of Service Management as a field of practice with its own trends, scenarios, standards and regulations. It also looks beyond Tivoli to other IBM offerings, IBM Business Partners, and analyst reports. Like Tivoli, we encourage the extended sharing of questions, answers, links and resources in our IBM Service Management community.
The Pulse community blog centers on the Pulse conference and those who have attended or are planning on attending the conference. It provides insight and gathers feedback on conference plans and activities and serves as an extension of conversations taking place at and around the conference. We also host the Pulse community for extended social networking and sharing of questions, resources, feedback, conversations, and stories.
Individual blogs
For in-depth topics and discussions, we rely on our subject matter experts (SMEs) who have their own individual blogs with their own individual purposes of engaging the public. A few of these experts include:
Doug McClure, a Senior Managing Consultant for IBM Tivoli Lab Services, specializes in Business and IT Service Management. His blog provides thoughts around business, service and technology operations and management with special emphasis on Business Service Management (BSM) and how practitioners can be successful implementing a BSM strategy within their company.
Calvin Powers works in the IBM Tivoli Technology Office on IT governance related projects. He blogs on topics related to IT governance, risk management, and compliance and is especially interested in how to apply these concepts to IT service management.
Tony Pearson, author of Inside System Storage, is a senior storage consultant for IBM System Storage. His blog serves as an open exchange of ideas relating to storage and storage networking hardware, software and services.
I, Tiffany Winman, specialize in Tivoli communities, social media, and Web 2.0. My blog focuses on heroes, voices, and stories that make the Tivoli network such a great community.
Blogs elsewhere
In addition to our own SMEs, several IBM Business Partners, outside of IBM auspices, blog about Tivoli or Service Management topics. For example:
We usually highlight new blogs or bloggers on our IBM Tivoli community landing. If you have an idea for a specific blog topic or a great blog to share with the Tivoli community and readership, please let us know.

Kindred Healthcare has opened a new 100-bed hospital on the southside.
The facility is geared toward patients who need a short-term rehabilitation program or additional care after being discharged from the hospital, according to a Kindred news release.
Construction began on the center in May 2013 and finished in July. The new center is located about a half-mile north of County Line Road, off Emerson Avenue.
Kindred has two other facilities in Greenwood, including a long-term care hospital off Emerson Avenue and a transitional-care facility near State Road 135 and Smith Valley Road.
The facility still needs to complete some licensing procedures, but patients could start being admitted by the end of this month, director Jared Houck said.
About 125 nurses and staff will be employed when the center is fully staffed. Kindred is still hiring for the new center, Houck said.
The center will admit patients who are being discharged from hospitals but still need additional care before they can return home. Patients can get additional heart or orthopedic therapy, for example, during a short-term stay, according to the news release. Staff will coordinate with local doctors offices or home health care groups to make sure patients continue to recover after being sent home, Houck said.

I was recently asked how often I look at my clients' websites. After some thought, I was amazed that I don't just use a client's site when building out new campaigns or ad groups. I look at these brand sites for many reasons, multiple times a month.
So, for all of you paid search marketers out there, here's a list of all of the ways you should be using a landing page to improve paid search campaigns.
Key Moments to Look at Landing Pages
Building Out New Campaigns or Accounts: When first determining structure, keywords, and themes that should be driving traffic to the client's website, start with the landing pages. Use the website as a guide, and especially the sitemap, to create campaigns for your page, product, or conversion goals. This also helps to determine which landing pages should be matched with the available campaigns/ad groups and themes.
Restructuring: Similar to building out new campaigns, if the account requires restructuring or if you inherited an account with poor structuring, the landing pages will help decide how to restructure the account, as well as how to create relevant keywords and ad copy.
Ad Copy, Testing and Value Propositions: When writing initial or additional ad copy for testing, reviewing the landing page content is a great way to find new phrasing, value propositions or other language to use in your ads. Bonus, your ads will be relevant to the landing pages, which will help your overall quality score.
Optimization: Whether you have a low quality score, a high click through rate but low conversion rate, or a high website bounce rate, you need to evaluate whether your ad copy and keywords are being driven to the best landing page. It may be as simple as changing the landing page for your ad copy and keywords, to better match the intent of the user. Or it may be a bit more complicated, which leads us to…
When You Should Suggest Landing Page Optimization
If your campaigns or ad groups have a strong click through rate but a low conversion rate, and they are relevant to the landing page, it's time to take a good hard look at landing page optimization. There are several potential pitfalls that a paid search landing page can have:
– Poor conversion funnel
– Busy Landing Page
– Landing Page Disconnect
– Promotions
Let's take a look at these one by one:
Poor conversion funnel: If there are too many steps in the funnel, a user is more likely to abandon before converting completely. The conversion funnel should be simple, easy to follow and the minimum of required steps, with little to no duplication in the process.
Busy Landing Page: If the landing page has a lot of unnecessary content, multiple columns, or has links that take the user away from the conversion page, a user is more likely to bounce early. The landing page should be clean, simple, and direct the user without providing them with links to external pages that could divert them from the conversion funnel.
Landing Page Disconnect: If a website has only one or two landing pages, but multiple conversion goals, products or themes, the keyword and ad copy driving traffic to the site could be too disconnected from the available landing pages. User intent is an important part of keyword and ad copy choice, so if the landing page doesn't answer the user's query, they are more likely to bounce without converting. For multiple conversion goals, you'll need multiple landing pages, whether they are microsites or additional pages on the site. And please don't send all traffic to the home page – brand campaigns are the only campaigns that should ever land on the home page.
Promotions: Sending traffic to a landing page with no mention, banners or other signs of the promotion that initially drove them to click on the ad and brought them to your site, may cause the user to bounce. Best practice is to drive all traffic to a specific promotions landing page or to a separate microsite. If you are unable to create a separate page for your promotion, at least make sure the landing page you are using for your promotions traffic contains the promotional message in a prominent, easy to find spot, and a simple way for users to click through and convert on the promotion.
One final piece of advice – test your landing pages. Whether that's done through a third party vendor or within your own site, it is crucial that your paid search campaigns direct traffic to an optimized paid search landing page.
So, for all you paid search marketers and account managers out there, I challenge you to think hard as to when you look at landing pages and when you don't. I bet you do it more than you think, but less than you should.
Stay tuned for the second part – Fundamentals of Improving Organic Search Traffic Conversions from David Waterman [2].

Update Notes

Update Notes
Updated on: 06/22/2015
Since we last visited NylonFeetLine...
Long legs that go on for miles and sexy painted toes encased in pantyhose in all hues and shades. These are the kind of legs you're going to find on Nylon Feet Line, a site dedicated to feet clad in hose.
NylonFeetLine is not the best-looking site when you first sign in. The jade-green background seems dated, but the navigation is pretty simple. All the links you need are in the middle of the first page. There are three links for photos (girls, girl/girl and girl/guy) and a link for the video section. Be sure to dive into the archives, too, because you'll find more pics and videos there.
Click into any of the sections and the design changes. Gone is the green coloring and the black background that replaces it is much slicker. The design is smooth and contemporary and you can navigate to other sections from the tabs at the top of the page.
I counted all the flicks and came up with 392 movies. The ones in the video section are downloadable in Windows Media files and the newer ones are in HD. Older ones are still good in quality and you can stream them all. The archived flicks are usually available in lower-quality AVI clips with no full-length versions.
There are more photos than videos here. In all you'll get 3,039 photo sets to look through and every set can be downloaded in a Zip file. The content is varied, with a mix of solo models, lesbian sex and hardcore action. There's definitely a focus on legs, feet and pantyhose. Every babe is wearing them and the girls often jerk off their partners' cocks with their nylon-clad feet.
The website stopped updating a little over a year ago, so if you ever find yourself wanting to check out action beyond the main collection, you can always pass the time with some bonus sites. You get access to one when you first sign up and then you get another one for each week you stay a member until you have access to the entire Ferro Network, which includes the likes of Pantyhose Line and Backdoor Lesbians. If you're too impatient, you can just pay more during signup and gain access to the entire network from day one.
There's a lot of hardcore sex here and the legs and nylons are usually just the appetizer for the main course. Nevertheless, if you enjoy legs, you'll probably enjoy Nylon Feet Line, because the content is high in quality and there's a lot of it.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

About Burberry
History and background of Burberry. Burberry was founded in 1856 when 21 year old Thomas Burberry, a former apprentice to a country draper, opened an outfitters shop in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. Business thrived and by 1870 Burberry became known as an 'emporium' with an increased focus on the development of outdoorwear for local residents and visiting sportsmen who frequented the store.

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

I'm tempted to say Brit outshines London, but only by the thinnest of margins. It's a sensual, masculine, creamy, refined fragrance perfect for brisk weather, cool nights, and the chilly seasons of Fall and Winter.
This beautifully understated cologne opens with a crisp citrus combination of mandarin and bergamot but is quickly tamed by a cool spiciness of cardamom and ginger.
From there it gently morphs into its most superb notes- spicy cedar and nutmeg, and beautifully elegant wild rose that wraps you in warmth and provides an incredibly creamy, sensual, and refined feel.
Luscious amber and sweet, soft tonka bean along with some exotic woody notes, rounds out the fragrance into its classy and spirited nature.
I find it perfect as s signature scent, especially for cooler weather, brisk afternoons or evenings, a non-invasive office scent, and for romantic evenings out. Personally, Brit has garnered me many compliments from females, and my S.O. finds it to be especially warm and inviting.
As with most of the Burberry line, it's performance isn't where I'd like for it to be. It's has wonderful sillage for the first few hours and lasts incredibly well on my skin until about the 5th hour, then unfortunately becomes more of a skin scent. This is precisely why I carry a small decant with me so I can reapply if/when I need to.
With that said however, Brit and all the other frags of the house are incredible values for the quality of the juice you're buying.
This has been for quite some time, and will continue to be, one of my top 5 favorite fragrances!
Again- well done Burberry!!!!

Seminar with Professor John Engen, Northeastern University; Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry
SEMINAR TITLE: "Hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry for the analysis of protein conformation at biological membranes."
ABSTRACT: A continually growing area of mass spectrometry is the analysis of protein conformation and dynamics. One classic approach is to label protein molecules in solution under physiological conditions as the incorporation of the labeling agent is a function of the folded conformation. Hydrogen exchange (HX) methods label the backbone amide hydrogens of proteins with deuterium and the location and magnitude of the labeling can then be determined with mass spectrometry (MS). HX MS studies are particularly well suited for analysis of proteins that will not crystallize, proteins not amenable to NMR, or proteins available in only small quantities. This presentation will explore current methodology and applications of HX MS, both for systems in solution and for the analysis of membrane proteins. Recent development of HX MS methods for the interrogation of peripheral membrane proteins at Langmuir monolayers will be described and illustrated with the analysis conformational changes in the HIV-1 Nef protein upon membrane localization.
SHORT BIOGRAPHY: John R. Engen is a Professor of Bioanalytical Chemistry at Northeastern University in Boston. Professor Engen holds two B.S. degrees (molecular biology and biochemistry) from Union College and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Nebraska (working with David L. Smith). He completed postdoctoral work at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany and at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. From 2002-2006, he was an Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. In 2012-2013, he was a Visiting Professor of Biochemistry in the laboratory of Prof. F. Ulrich Hartl at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried, Germany. Prof. Engen is a Fellow of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), received the 2009 Arthur F. Findeis Award from the American Chemical Society, and served on the Board of Directors for the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) from 2009-2011.
Professor Engen has become a recognized expert in the area of understanding proteins and protein conformation with mass spectrometry. He uses hydrogen-deuterium exchange to probe conformation and dynamics during various activation states. Proteins that are not amenable to mainstream structural techniques such as X-ray diffraction and NMR can be probed with such methods. Such experiments, among other things, can reveal the effects and locations of binding, be diagnostic for proper protein folding, and be used to determine conformational changes during protein function.
Professor Engen has published over 100 papers on the topic of hydrogen exchange in recent years and given hundreds of invited lectures worldwide to academia and industry. He teaches a yearly ASMS short course on protein structural analysis by mass spectrometry. Current research projects in his laboratory include (1) investigations of kinase conformation to understand regulation and aberrant signaling in various disease states including cancer, (2) analysis of the conformation of viral accessory proteins from HIV, (3) studies of protein conformation at biological membranes, and (4) optimization and methods development in hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry.

"Understanding the Argon Vinyl-Chloride Complex through Discrete Variable Representation."
Abstract: Argon-haloethylene van der Waals complexes can play an import role in understanding intermolecular forces. The structures of these complexes, formed in a supersonic expansion using argon as the carrier gas are significantly influenced by relatively weak, but nevertheless important, dispersion forces, and several display evidence of quantum mechanical tunneling. Discrete variable representation (DVR) is a useful tool in providing a basis for understanding these complexes, as it accounts for the complicated form of the potential energy in a simple manner. However, DVR introduces its own complications in representing the kinetic energy of the complex that need to be dealt with before it is possible to understand fully a complex such as argon vinyl-chloride.

"Targeting a Cryptic Allosteric Site for Selective Inhibition of the Oncogenic Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Shp2."
Abstract: Targeted covalent inhibition is a growing field of drug discovery in which molecules are covalently bound to the target protein for increased potency and residence time. Protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) Shp2 is a desirable target for inhibition due to its role in Leopard and Noonan syndromes as well as sporadic juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia. This study aims to discover a molecule that covalently binds to a recently discovered cryptic allosteric site on Shp2, C333, which is not conserved in most other PTPs. A variety of acrylate derivatives, which can bind covalently to cysteines through a Michael addition, will be synthesized and incubated with WT and C333P Shp2. Their activities will then be tested with a phosphatase activity inhibition assay. A molecule that is able to inhibit WT, but not C333P Shp2 will be a likely candidate for selective inhibition of Shp2's allosteric site.

"Elucidating Protein Folding Pathways using Computer Simulations of Hydrogen Exchange Mass Spectrometry Experiments."
Abstract: One of the most widely studied phenomena in modern biochemistry is that of protein folding. The conformations that proteins can assume, and the thermodynamic and kinetic pathways that govern the transition between these conformations, have vital significance for proteins' biological functions. Protein misfolding and destabilization have also been implicated in many high-profile diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS among others. Hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry (HXMS) is a technique that enables us to study these pathways under near-native conditions, addressing one of the most severe drawbacks of prior experimental techniques, which required denaturation to extract folding parameters. Being able to simulate HXMS time courses and compare the simulation results to experimental data can provide valuable information about how well a proposed folding model matches the given protein, as well as predict values for folding parameters such as relevant rate constants and number of exchange-competent sites. We developed a numerical simulations approach that utilizes the Gillespie algorithm to simulate the folding of a protein as a continuous-time Markov process and check the accuracy of the fit to the experimental data in real time, while iteratively optimizing all of the folding parameter estimates to reach the best fit values. Among other results, this yielded the discovery of a potentially novel high-energy intermediate in the folding of beta 2 microglobulin, and the development of a 3-state folding model for this particular protein.

"Synthesis of Polymer-Clay Nanocomposites with Ionically Bound Initiators."
Abstract: In previous years the Burkett lab has created polymer-clay Nanocomposites with the polymer grown from initiators bound directly to the clay. However the Polymer could not be fully characterized as it was contently bound to the clay and could not be removed. My research is in using initiators that are ionically bound to the clay to allow for removal and full characterization of the polymer after polymerization is complete. To do this layered double hydroxide clay is used with anionic initiators.

"Synthesis of polymer–clay nanocomposites with a photo-cleavable linkage."
Abstract: Polymer–clay nanocomposites have the potential to combine the flexibility of an organic polymer and the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the clay. These enhanced mechanical properties are desirable for a wide variety of applications in fields ranging from aeronautical engineering to biomedical materials to drug delivery. This thesis aims to develop a synthetic magnesium silicate clay containing an o nitrobenzyl alcohol group that can serve as an initiator for polymerization. The resulting o nitrobenzyl ester linkage to the polymer terminus is capable of undergoing a photo-cleavage reaction under UV radiation, which allows the polymer chains to be cleaved from the clay surface for subsequent study of the properties of the organic polymer chains. Current research direction includes attachment of a silicon-bearing group onto the nitrobenzene via SN2 substitution or amide formation.

Seminar Title: "Elucidating Phytoestrogen Function in Plants and Animals"
Abstract: The activation and inhibition of estrogen receptors has many significant physiological effects in humans, whether promoting normal growth and development or causing the proliferation of cancerous tumors. Due to the lack of specificity of these receptors, many compounds can affect their activity in addition to the endogenous estradiol, such as many manmade and natural chemicals that bind to the receptors and can cause varying downstream effects. Therefore, identifying these various compounds and learning more about their functions is very important for human health. The focus here will be specifically on analyzing phytoestrogens, as these plant-based compounds are present in many foods and commercial products, and some are already known to affect diseases such as cancers. In this thesis, phytoestrogens will first be identified and then analyzed for their possible effects in plants and on human estrogen receptors. The compounds will be identified from an analysis of the results of a high-throughput study performed by different US governmental agencies. The chemicals will then be tested for their relative binding affinity to the human estrogen receptor beta, the dominant receptor affected by phytoestrogens, using a fluorescence polarization assay. After identifying compounds that bind sufficiently to the estrogen receptor, functional assays will then be performed by introducing the phytoestrogens into recombinant yeast cells to characterize their agonistic or antagonistic behavior.

"Electron or Energy Transfer: A Study into the Mechanism of the Excited State Deactivation of Ruthenium Complexes with Ferrocene Derivatives"
Abstract: Ferrocene has been said to be the benzene of organometallic chemistry because it was the first pure hydrocarbon derivative of iron. This iron has the ability to perform a quasi-reversible oxidation, which has sparked much interest into areas of catalysts, non-linear optics, and electrochemistry. Along with these areas, the photochemical behavior of ferrocene has been investigated. Because ferrocene can be used as an excited state quencher, the interactions between it and other molecules has become of great interest. The Young lab has been focused on the excited-state interactions of ruthenium polypyridyl derivatives with various ferrocene complexes, with particular interest in understanding the mechanism of the interaction. There has been much debate over whether the quenching mechanism is Dexter energy or electron transfer. Since these two mechanisms produce different products, experimental confirmation of the products can determine the true path. Transient Absorption (TA) Spectroscopy is being used to view these products. TA Spectroscopy uses laser pulses to excite the compound and measures the change in absorption between the ground state and excited state. It is through the analysis of this change in absorption that we will be determining the mechanism of these interactions.

Seminar Title: "Encapsulating C60"
Abstract: Recent research has found that N,N'-amino-acid substituted naphthalenediimide (or NDI) derivatives spontaneously form nanotubes and nanocapsules held together by hydrogen bonds. These tubes and capsules can enclose C60 and C70, respectively, when formed in their presence. The Hansen laboratory hascovalently linked three NDI derivatives to make a trimer, which forms capsules that perfectly encapsulate C60. While the capsules also form when no C60 is present, it appears that enclosing C60 stabilizes the capsule, making it less likely to fall apart than its empty counterpart. The linked NDI trimer contains afunctionality that can be substituted with a number of amino acids or other molecules without altering the capsule shape. This flexibility allows for modification of the polarity of the capsule, with the ultimate goal being the development of a capsule that could allow C60 to be solubilized in water.

Seminar Title: "Structure Determination of the (Z)-1-chloro-2-fluoroethylene – HCl Complex Using Microwave Spectroscopy."
Abstract: The Leung Lab utilizes microwave spectroscopy to study the forces between haloethylenes and simple protic acids. As part of this systematic study, the complex between (Z)-1-chloro-2-fluoroethylene and HCl is being characterized using a combination of theoretical and experimental techniques. The lowest energy conformation predicted by theory for the complex is nonplanar with HCl in the ClCCF cavity where the hydrogen of HCl is oriented nearly perpendicular to the plane of the ethylene. This structure is consistent with the structure of the similar complex between vinyl chloride and HCl and seems to indicate a trend for chloroethylenes binding HCl in a nonplanar conformation. Further experimental spectroscopic work will refine the geometry and help characterize the interplay of electrostatic and dispersion forces with steric effects that ultimately leads to the geometry of the complex.

Seminar with Professor David Gorin, Smith College; Department of Chemistry.
SEMINAR TITLE: "Methylation of Oxygen Nucleophiles with Safe, Stable Methylating Agents."
RESEARCH INTERESTS: Organic and bioorganic chemistry. We have two major research interests. 1) Selective chemical catalysts and reagents are needed for the modification and functional perturbation of molecules in complex contexts, such as in biological and environmental samples. We use tools from synthetic chemistry and molecular biology to develop new reagents that selectively transform one component of a biological mixture. 2) Methylation reactions are ubiquitous in synthetic organic chemistry, but typical methods rely upon hazardous and/or unstable reagents. We are developing new strategies for methylation and related reactions that instead use safe, stable reagents.

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A Marion County grand jury indicted a Keizer man Monday on murder by abuse charges in the death of his 4-year-old stepson.
If convicted, 23-year-old Gerardo Chavarria would be given a life sentence with a minimum term of 25 years. He'll be arraigned Thursday.
The Statesman Journal reports ( http://stjr.nl/shLUBu ) he told police the boy, Sebastian Iturbe, fell down stairs Nov. 5 at their apartment. The mother was not home at the time. He died the next day.
Deputy State Medical Examiner Larry Lewman determined the boy died of blunt force head trauma and it was homicide, not an accident.
