Wow! What a day we've had here at SiWC Central! Registration is off to a roaring start, and we are absolutely thrilled. Thank you to everyone who helped get us started on such an exciting note.
So far (touch wood), there's only on casualty to report in all the excitement: my credit card. See what I'll sacrifice for you people? No, really, I used it this morning to test the system to make sure you'd be able to register when we opened at noon, and I made the mistake of leaving it on an end table in a location easily accessible to my eight-month-old puppy. So I got to phone the credit card company and say, "My dog ate my credit card." I had a good laugh about it, though the woman on the phone was Very Serious.
Registrations are coming in quickly. For the best chance at your first choice of pitch and blue pencil appointments, register early!

First Time Registrant
I registered for the conference today. This will be my first ever writers' conference and I am far, far, far too excited for it to be only June.
For a rough idea of what was going through my head as I registered, check out my blog post:
I cannot believe I am going to SiWC 2010!!!

Love it
Oh to say the words "My dog ate my credit card" to someone - just once. It would make my decade.
Of course I would need a dog.
Could my cat eat my credit card?
So thrilled registration is off to a great start, I cannot wait for the conference this year. Thanks for all the hard work that is going into SiWC this, and every year.

KAKI KING, THE STATE ROOM, Friday, Oct. 26, 9 p.m., $17
Kaki King is one of the more remarkable instrumentalists you can find, a woman capable of totally flooring a room full of fans with just an acoustic guitar, or a lap-steel. She's never met a genre she didn't like, and her albums and live shows jump from jazz to classical to rock with ease, thanks to her dextrous playing and inventive composing skills. When Rolling Stone magazine put together a list of the "new guitar gods" a few years back, King was both the only woman on the list, and the youngest player overall--not too shabby. She also does film and TV scoring, most notably alongside Eddie Vedder on the Into the Wild soundtrack. Her newest album, Glow, is a stellar set, and you can expect to hear a heavy dose of it Friday night at The State Room. Lady Lamb the Beekeeper opens the show.
DON WILLIAMS, DEE EVENTS CENTER, Ogden, Friday, Oct. 26, 7:30 p.m., $33-38
Don Williams is known in many quarters as the "Gentle Giant" of country music, his bulky frame and bass-y baritone combining to make the man look pretty imposing. But the 2010 inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame is better known for his popular ballads like "Some Broken Hearts Never End" and easy-grooving country pop hits like "Tulsa Time" (my personal favorite). All told, he's had 17 No. 1 country hit songs, and after "retiring" in 2006, he's back with a brand new album, And So It Goes, and a tour stopping in Utah Friday. The album is a winner from beginning to end, and includes collaborations with Williams fans like Alison Krauss and Vince Gill. Williams is famous for shunning attention--he wouldn't even give interviews when he was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame--and given his attempt to retire a few years back, consider this your last best chance to see the man perform in Utah.

The city of San Francisco served as a magnet for musicians, artists and social rebels in the mid-to-late Sixties. They created a counterculture bound by leftist politics, hallucinogenic drugs, tribal spirit and music. San Francisco had long been a literary bohemia, attracting nonconformists like the Beat Generation writers of the Fifties. It was logical that a city as free-thinking as San Francisco would give birth to a radical new movement in rock and roll. "There was a community in need of music, and music in need of a community," explained Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart.
The word "psychedelic" was applied to the scene, implying a colorful alteration of the senses. The most innovative and popular groups - the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Moby Grape, Country Joe and the Fish, Santana - changed the way music was performed and experienced. Songs were no longer confined to two or three minutes; they could go on upward of twenty. Sweeping changes in concert promotion and FM radio fueled the movement. Dusky old ballrooms and rented halls were converted into live-music spaces. Light shows provided throbbing visual accompaniment. Audiences became active participants as concerts evolved into multimedia events. Underground radio was born here, as local stations KSAN and KMPX embraced the daring new music. Rock journalism found a literate voice in such San Francisco-based publications as Rolling Stone.
The cauldron for this creativity was Haight-Ashbury, a neighborhood bordering Golden Gate Park, where Victorian houses were rented cheaply and inhabited communally. "In the Haight," wrote scene chronicler Charles Perry, "life was cheap, life was aesthetic, life was stoned, and LSD was the great tool of transformation."

Mondragon, Pastrana lead ERAU to 74-71 overtime win over SUNY Cortland
Published: Sunday, December 30, 2012 at 9:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 5:52 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH — Steve Ridder could not help but grin after his Embry-Riddle Eagles' 74-71 overtime win over SUNY Cortland on Sunday night in the Land of Magic Classic at the ICI Center.
SUNY (8-2) Smith 5-17 0-0 14, Winter 11-20 3-3 30, Hefele 2-7 3-4 8, Sternkopf 1-2 0-0 2, McMahon 3-10 1-2 7, Connolly 0-0 0-0 0, Herron 2-6 0-0 4, Manning 3-11 0-0 6, Spendjian 0-1 0-0 0, McGowan 0-0 0-0 0. Totals 27-74 7-9 71.
ERAU (13-1) Saldana 3-7 0-1 6, Mondragon 5-10 0-0 14, Powell 2-5 2-2 7, Carter 3-15 7-8 14, Pastrana 7-10 9-9 23, Brandon Serle 2-3 0-0 6, Billy Serle 1-6 0-0 2, Kiesling 0-0 0-0 0, Ford 1-1 0-0 2. Totals 24-57 18-20 74.
Halftime: SUNY 29, ERAU 26. 3-POINT GOALS: SUNY 10-36 (Smith 4-13, Winter 5-10, Hefele 1-4, Herron 0-1, Manning 0-7, Spendjian 0-1.), ERAU 8-26 (Mondragon 4-8, Powell 1-3, Carter 1-8, Br. Serle 2-3, Billy Serle 0-4). Rebounds: SUNY 35 (McMahon 9), ERAU 47 (Pastrana 11). Assists: SUNY 19 (Winter 8), ERAU 20 (Carter 10). Total Fouls: SUNY 17, ERAU 15. A: 622
It was not necessarily pulling out a win in a game in which neither team seemed to want to give that tickled the Eagles head coach so — although he was certainly pleased with his team's 11th consecutive victory. But Ridder said he was happiest knowing the back story of the game's final moments in which ERAU's smallest player, 5-foot-8 point guard Daniel Mondragon, and its largest player, 6-foot-8, 275-pound Cesar Pastrana, knocked down big shots to seal the win.
Mondragon, who finished with 14 points, drained a 3 with 41 seconds to go in overtime that gave ERAU (13-1) a 70-65 lead. The Red Dragons (8-2) answered with a 3 by Jeremy Smith that cut it to 70-68 with 27 seconds to play. From there though, Pastrana went 4-for-4 from the free-throw line to seal the victory.
"It is not luck," Ridder said looking over at Mondragon postgame. "He deserves it because he put the time in all summer shooting. I have a window in my office overlooking the gym, and the guy is in there shooting all the time. I can't tell you how many times I've looked out that window and watched that guy drill 10, 12, 15 3-pointers in a row."
And the coach likened to Pastrana, who led ERAU with 24 points, to Shaquille O'Neal — only with better free-throw shooting.
"In 25 years I've never sent our five-man down to the corner to catch it and got fouled so he can go to the line," Ridder said. "But in 25 years I've never had a five-man that could shoot free throws like him."
ERAU trailed 29-26 at the half, but took a 30-29 lead on a jumper by Pastrana just over a minute into the second. The two teams exchanged the lead three times over the next four minutes with ERAU going up 40-39 on a Rico Saldana layup with 12:42 to play. SUNY Cortland retook the lead on a layup by Lamard Herron with 11:51 remaining.
The Red Dragons held the lead — which grew to as much as 7 points, 51-44, on a 3 by Smith with 6:13 to play — for just over 10 minutes before Jason Powell tied it at 54 with a tip-in.
Pastrana gave ERAU the lead — 57-54 — on a layup and free throw, but SUNY Cortland answered immediately with a 3 by Jesse Winter, who scored a game-high 30 points, to tie it at 57 with 1:39 to play.
ERAU retook the lead on a 3 by Mondragon who rose and fired in front his team's bench — with his teammates leaping to their feet behind him — to make it 60-57 with 23 seconds remaining in regulation.
SUNY Cortland raced down the court on the ensuing timeout and took a timeout to set up a play. Coming out of the timeout though, Ridder instructed his team to foul — sending Red Dragons guard Harrison Hefele to the line for two shots.
"Normally, we let them take the 3 to try to tie it and we contest it," Ridder said. "But they had four outstanding 3-point shooters and there was just too great a chance for them to get one of those guys coming off a screen."
Hefele knocked down his first free throw, but the second hit off the front the rim and bounced off the hand of ERAU's Brandon Serle out of bounds — giving possession back to the Red Dragons. On the inbounds, ERAU's DeForest Carter made contact with Hefele sending him back to the line where he sank two free throws to tie it at 60 and send the game to overtime.
"I don't think we have (been in a game this crazy)," Mondragon said. "Even at the end, when we decided to foul them, they knock down a free throw, get the ball back, hit a shot and we are going to overtime.
"We hit big shots but so did they all night."
Embry-Riddle returns to action on Jan. 2 against Ashford (Iowa) in the Bahama House Classic in the ICI Center.

The only non-Canadian member of the Band, Levon Helm was known for his deeply soulful, country-accented voice and his creative drumming style, which was highlighted on many of the Band's recordings, including "The Weight," "Up on Cripple Creek," "Ophelia" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down."
Helm was born in Marvell, Arkansas, and grew up in Turkey Scratch, a hamlet west of Helena, Arkansas. He saw Bill Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys when he was six and decided to become a musician. He began playing the guitar at the age of eight, and he took up drums shortly thereafter. After graduating from high school, Helm was invited to join rockabilly star Ronnie Hawkins' band, the Hawks. Shortly after Helm joined the Hawks, the group moved to Toronto, Canada, where, in 1959, it signed with Roulette Records. In the early 1960s, Helm and Hawkins recruited an all-Canadian lineup of musicians: guitarist Robbie Robertson, bassist Rick Danko, pianist Richard Manuel and organist Garth Hudson. In 1963, the band parted ways with Hawkins and started touring under the name Levon and the Hawks and, later, as the Canadian Squires before finally changing back to the Hawks. Then, in 1965, Bob Dylan asked the group to be his backing band. Disheartened by fans' negative response to Dylan's new electric sound, Helm returned to Arkansas. Then, in 1967, he was asked to rejoin the group, which at this point was simply being called the Band.
After signing with Capitol Records, the Band released its first album, Music from Big Pink. Helm sang lead on one of the album's best-known songs, "The Weight." The Band's second album, simply called The Band, was the group's masterpiece and commercial breakthrough. The group released five more albums before breaking up in 1977. The Band's farewell concert, The Last Waltz, was released as a documentary film by director Martin Scorsese.
With the breakup of the Band, Helm began recording solo albums, including Levon Helm and the RCO All Stars, Levon Helm, American Son and (once again) Levon Helm. In 1983, the Band reunited without Robbie Robertson. In 1986, while on tour, Richard Manuel committed suicide. Helm, Danko and Hudson continued on as the Band, releasing the album Jericho in 1993 and High on the Hog in 1996. The final album from the Band was the 30th anniversary album, Jubilation, released in 1998.
In the late 1990s, Helm was diagnosed with throat cancer. Although the tumor was then successfully treated, Helm's vocal cords were damaged. In the early 2000s, Helm began holding Midnight Rambles at his home in Woodstock, New York. These concerts, which featured Helm and a variety of musical guests, enabled Helm to raise money to pay his medical bills.
In 2007, Helm released Dirt Farmer, his first solo studio album since 1982. Electric Dirt followed in 2009, and in 2011, he released Ramble at the Ryman, a live album. In 2010, a documentary on Helm's life titled Ain't in It for My Health: A Film About Levon Helm was released. On April 19, 2012, Levon Helm lost his battle with cancer.
Levon Helm was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Band in 1994.

Marquette University strives to follow the teacher/scholar model. It is central to the mission of Marquette and central to the concept of cura personalis, or caring for the whole person. In the popular press, one often reads that faculty members must decide whether to spend more of their time on research, or on teaching. In reality, it is impossible to separate these two important functions since both are required to develop future citizens and leaders. A university must combine research, teaching and service from the undergraduate level through the graduate and post-graduate levels. Thus, teaching and research are synergistic and support each other. Undergraduate and graduate students are an integral part of the research and scholarship carried on by faculty. In this way, Marquette researchers not only expand the state of knowledge in their fields but prepare the next generation of scholar leaders. Many Marquette University graduate students and undergraduates present their scholarly work at regional, national, and international meetings and also publish their findings with the faculty members who work with them daily and serve as their advisers.
Both teaching and scholarship are required of faculty members for promotion and tenure. Many faculty members have external grants which support not only their research, but also the research of students. In addition to the Graduate School, there are other offices that can help students and faculty members in the area of research.

Clinical and Translational Science Institute
The Clinical and Translational Science Institute is a new regional biomedical collaboration involving clinical and translational science between Marquette University, the Medical College of Wisconsin, UW-Milwaukee, the Milwaukee School of Engineering, the BloodCenter of Wisconsin, Children's Hospital, and Froedtert Hospital.The CTSI collaboration will advocate, facilitate, and foster the continuum of research from bench to bedside to community practice. This effort will capitalize on the strong foundation of basic science and community outreach programs within the academic institutions of southeastern Wisconsin. Its goal is to diminish the barriers between disciplines and institutions and to encourage novel approaches to solving complex medical problems by drawing on our complementary expertise.
Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP)
Marquette University's central point of coordination for sponsored projects and the legally authorized representative for grants, contracts, and assurances. ORSP represents the sum of Marquette's experience with extramural sponsors and partners over time. ORSP helps faculty and administrators build bridges between Marquette and extramural sponsors and other institutions to advance the University's mission. ORSP fosters excellence in sponsored projects by promoting best practices, policies, and procedures that ensure consistency and efficiency in the University's transactions with sponsors and partners . ORSP hosts workshops and brown-bag sessions to help members of the Marquette community identify suitable sponsors, develop their proposals and project budgets, and manage their grant awards.
Office of Research Compliance (ORC)
Responsible for ensuring that research performed by Marquette University faculty, staff and students is conducted ethically and in compliance with all federal and state regulations. Following the regulations is essential, not only because they are mandated, but also because they ensure that research and scholarship are carried out ethically and have potential benefits. Some important areas overseen by the ORC:

Sorry to ask this question, but I've searched through all the threads on Big Twin Flatties and didn't find a good answer. I probably missed something.
I have a 1937 UL on the way with iron heads, which I believe are supposed to be a 5.5:1 compression ratio, assuming they are UL heads and have not been previously modified. I realize that head gasket thickness, overbore, base gasket thickness, deck height etc. all effect CR. Even so, my question is, what volume, in CC or ML, generally speaking, equals that 5.5:1 ration, and what would it be to obtain a 6.5:1 ration.
And, how much or a cut would be milled off the head to achieve that?
Also, what is the highest compression these will run at for normal riding type running. The bike will be light, and I weigh 180. I have a '48 Dodge with a flathead 230 inch six that I have at 7.5:1, (which required a pretty big cut) and it's right "on the edge", if you know what I mean...requires premium for sure. My guess would be that 6.5-7.0:1 would work, especially as I can retard the timing with the left hand grip when lugging/pulling. I had very high compression in my knuck, and the left handgrip worked great, but I realize the flathead is a different animal.

GENERIC NAME: conjugated equine estrogens and medroxyprogesterone acetate
BRAND NAME: Prempro, Premphase
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Prempro and Premphase are combinations of conjugated estrogens (Premarin) and medroxyprogesterone (Provera). Estrogens and progestins are the two major classes of female hormones. Conjugated estrogens are a mixture of several different estrogens (estrogen salts) that are derived from natural sources and blended to approximate the composition of estrogens in the urine of pregnant horses. The main components are sodium estrone sulphate and sodium equilin sulfate. Estrogens have widespread effects on many tissues in the body. Estrogens cause growth and development of the female sexual organs and maintain female sexual characteristics such as the growth of underarm and pubic hair, body contours, and skeleton. Estrogens also increase secretions from the cervix and growth of the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium). Medroxyprogesterone is a derivative of progesterone, a naturally occurring female progestin. Progestins are responsible for changes in the mucus and inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) during the second half (secretory phase) of the menstrual cycle. Progestins prepare the endometrium for implantation of the embryo. Once an embryo implants in the endometrium, for example, and pregnancy occurs, progestins help maintain the pregnancy. At high doses, progestins can prevent ovulation (release of the egg from the ovary) and thereby prevent pregnancy. The FDA approved Prempro and Premphase in June 2003.

Will the multiracial administration mean a boost for less-visible black women? Includes an exclusive Web extra.
Watching the Democratic National Convention on my couch last year, I felt like such a geek, getting all choked up and teary as Michelle Obama spoke. As stereotype busting goes, this was a classic moment. It wasn't so much what she said —although her words were wonderful—as what she symbolized: black excellence, black female excellence. As I would later find out, I wasn't the only one crying. Michelle was representing all of us brown-skinned, dual-degreed, corporately employed integration babies. Watching Michelle, I felt that at last the world could see that we're not neck-rolling, finger-snapping sistas with an ax to grind. That she isn't—and we aren't—as one political pundit put it, "Stokely Carmichael in a designer dress."
But then it turned out that Michelle was just the beginning. The newly minted president proceeded to pick one African-American after another for high-power positions, from White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett to Susan Rice (United States ambassador to the United Nations) to FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg, MD, to surgeon general nominee Regina Benjamin, MD (whose appointment was, at press time, still awaiting Senate confirmation).
For many of us, this apparent tsunami of highly visible black women has been great news but no great surprise. Seeing these women—standing with the president, holding forth on the Sunday morning talk shows or looking glamorous at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner (the first at which a black woman, comic and former National Security Agency employee Wanda Sykes, emceed)—I thought, well, of course. After all, they look a lot like my friends and me.
Like me, the "Obama women," as insiders have named them, are part of a generation of accomplished black women. Living in my buppie bubble, I was surprised that so many non-black people were surprised that there was such a deep bench of talent for Obama to draw from. For although Jarrett, Rice and the others are exceptional people, among black women they are not the exception.
Let me be clear: Not many individuals, black, white, brown or other, achieve that level of power, whether at the White House or at Xerox. And yet there are hundreds of thousands of us, highly qualified and highly educated, available to be tapped. As the first lady told Time magazine, "My mother said this in an interview and I completely agree with her, and it's something that, you know, I want young people to remember. [She said] Michelle and Barack aren't new; there are thousands of [them] all over this nation. And that is true . . . I know them, I've gone to school with them, I live with them. So the truth is, there are thousands of role models like me. I just happen to be the first lady."
"We're not unicorns," concurs Tanya Chutkan, 47, an attorney who is a partner specializing in litigation and white collar criminal defense at the high-profile Washington, D.C.– based law firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP. "We do exist. People always say, 'Oh, your mother must be so proud.' And I say, 'Actually, she's a lawyer too.' "
So we're here, and we're waiting—but will we now, finally, ascend? Will the Obama women have a trickle-down effect on how the rest of us are perceived and, ultimately, employed? Some say yes. Already we're seeing some zeitgeisty changes on the cultural landscape: More black women on the cover of Vogue (so far this year: Michelle Obama, Beyoncé and model Liya Kebede—a big contrast to 2008, when the only person of color who appeared on the cover was LeBron James). Then there's BET, long known for its booty-shaking music videos, which recently announced plans to launch CENTRIC, a new channel targeted to upscale midlife black Americans. It is, apparently, now hip to be middle-aged, gifted and black.
Seeing yourself reflected in the pub-lic arena is gratifying, to be sure. But will this moment of fashionability trans-late into a new wave of black professional women rushing up the corporate ladder? Is it, as one hopeful journalist put it, "Christmastime"?
Andrea Berry has her doubts. "What did it do when Condoleezza Rice was there on the cabinet for those eight years?" retorts the 48-year-old senior vice president for broadcast operations at Fox Networks. "It didn't change. I didn't see anybody rushing to hire black women. I don't know that [Rice made] a difference. And she's extremely brilliant."
Berry has a point. Our generation has been here before. By the 1970s, affirmative action had brought about a heightened sense of opportunity and possibility. But while affirmative action opened doors, it has also been used as a hammer against us, as in: "You just got in because you're black. And a woman. A twofer!" It was more than a little disheartening in 2003 to hear some of my colleagues at the Washington Post blame the whole Jayson Blair plagiarism debacle on affirmative action at the New York Times. (Where do we place the blame for Stephen Glass, a white male who admitted to inventing stories wholesale for the New Republic?) Skip forward to this past summer, and check out a Washington Post article that, noting the increased number of black women reporters covering Michelle Obama, poses the question: "Are the beat reporters inadvertently invested in her success?" An alarm that of course has never been raised about white reporters covering white politicians or white first ladies.
Which is why so many of us feel as if we've got to be twice as good to get half as far. In the decade between 1996 and 2007, the number of black women getting master's degrees increased 130 percent, while the increase for white women was 38 percent. There's a reason we earn degrees at such a high rate. It's been drummed into us both by birth and by history.
Traditionally, in the black community, education was seen as the only way up. In a world that limited your options, you fought back by arming yourself with university degrees. "It was important to excel," says Carla A. Harris, 46, managing director at Morgan Stanley and author of Expect to Win: Proven Strategies for Success From a Wall Street Vet. "My mother was a strident, ardent believer that you couldn't be on the borderline. If you wanted an A, you had to shoot for an A-plus." Many of us, like my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, got their degrees from historically black colleges such as Morehouse (Martin Luther King Jr.'s alma mater), Spelman and Howard. After graduation, most of them, including my great-grandmother, became teachers. A rare few, like dentist Bessie Delany, one of the subjects of the book Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years, managed to have careers as doctors and lawyers. Ida B. Wells-Barnett became a journalist and documented lynchings back in the 1890s; Madame C. J. Walker made a fortune marketing hair care products in the early twentieth century. But with the Civil Rights movement and then affirmative action, the world began opening up to African-Americans, and huge swaths of black women began to move into positions that had previously been closed to them.
And now we're eyeing a move to the next level. Yet despite our qualifications, black women are still hugely underrepresented in the corporate world and in other centers of power. According to Catalyst, a New York–based research firm that studies women in business, African-American women hold only five percent of all managerial, professional and related positions; white women hold 41 percent. Women of color are similarly scarce on corporate boards. And until Ursula Burns was tapped earlier this year to head Xerox, there were no black female CEOs of Fortune 500 companies.
"When white women talk about difficulties in advancing, they often talk about the glass ceiling," says Katherine Giscombe, vice president of women of color research at Catalyst. For non-white women, especially those who are African-American, the ceiling is more like concrete—denser than glass, says Giscombe, "and a lot harder to break."
I have to admit that I was stunned by those statistics: The low numbers of African-American women in management run counter to what I see, what I've grown up with. I think of my grandmother, who was a college professor. I think of my mother, who left a management position with Coors to form her own special-events business. I think of my aunt, who retired as CEO of the YWCA of Greater Los Angeles, and my cousins, who graduated from the dental and law schools at Harvard. I think of all my relatives and my friends, and my friends' friends.
"You see this huge disconnect," says Pamela Mitchell, 45, who worked in senior management positions in inter-national business development before launching her own company, the Reinvention Institute, in Miami. "Black females have outpaced [black] males in terms of higher degrees, and yet the upper echelons are still somewhat closed to us."
One problem is that there's often a gap between a corporation's policy and its real-world practice. According to Giscombe, every company she surveyed for her Catalyst research had some type of diversity policy. But the women of color she surveyed dismissed these policies as "ineffective." Firms are "not really making managers accountable for developing and retaining African-American women," Giscombe says. Then there's the fact that, regardless of race, senior-level women tend to be in staff roles (such as community outreach) rather than in the more CEO-track "line" positions with profit and loss responsibility (such as sales).
When Pamela Mitchell was graduating from Harvard in the mid-1980s, she was offered a job as a corporate trainer. Her mother, herself a veteran of corporate life, told her to turn it down: "She said, 'Never go into anything that isn't a line position. Don't go into HR or training; those are the jobs that they like to slot black women into. Once you get into that ghetto, it's very difficult to get out.'
"But who's telling people that?" Mitchell continues. "Nobody tells us that. I was lucky that my mother did."
Another roadblock, ironically, is that whenever one of us does manage to break through, her very presence may provide an excuse for keeping other black women out. "Something that's always been true for me in the media is this idea that there can be only one of you," says Michel Martin, host of NPR's Tell Me More and a journalist for more than two decades. "I've had the experience of being interviewed for jobs, knowing that friends of mine have been interviewed by the same company, and even though we're equally competent and there's more than one position available, only one of us is going to get hired."
As a young professional working for Lockheed Martin, Representative Donna Edwards (Democrat of Maryland), 51, had to shrug off that sense of loneliness that comes from being the only black woman in the room. There was also the little problem of the older white guy who kept calling her Stella in big meetings. One day, Edwards got up her nerve to confront him in front of the assembled. He claimed that calling her Stella was a sort of compliment, because that was the name of his favorite horse. "That was troubling on so many different levels," Edwards says. "It's an example of the many ways you can be belittled in the workplace, particularly as a woman." Interestingly, the man ended up becoming her mentor and one of her biggest supporters. To this day, Edwards, the first African-American woman to represent Maryland in Congress, is convinced that what pushed her out of professional obscurity was her decision to speak up at that meeting.
What's the viewpoint of the Obama women on how their success might affect other black professionals? I asked them, but the White House was not enthusiastic about administration officials participating in this story. One press secretary told me, "We're now transitioning out of that phase" to focus on "substantive policy issues." In my view, the continued existence of the concrete ceiling is, in fact, a substantive issue. But of the 10 or so D.C. women I contacted, only one, EPA chief Lisa P. Jackson, agreed to speak. I read her those dispiriting statistics about black women that had so startled me. "I'm actually surprised as well," she said. Jackson has always worked in the public sector, and she sees it as historically more welcoming than the private sector to women and minorities. (Her father was a New Orleans postal worker at a time when segregation severely limited the choices of all African-Americans.) The advancement of the Obama women, she says, is "a continuation of a trend, but certainly the largest expansion of it in terms of brilliant women in positions of real authority, [of] leading by example."
Despite all the obstacles, I'm confident the time will come when the example Jackson and her colleagues are setting will have a ripple effect, when professional-level black women will cease to be seen as unicorns, when we will get the recognition—and visibility—we have earned.
"The Obama administration has given us an image that's very new today but 20 years from now will be extraordinarily normal," says Ella LJ Edmondson Bell, associate professor at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business and author of Our Separate Ways: Black and White Women and the Struggle for Professional Identity. "This is the first time in our history that we have been able to get a glimpse of what a multiracial workforce looks like, particularly in the White House.
"But this is just coming attractions," Bell adds. Demographics are on black women's side, she says: In less than 10 years, 83 percent of the entering workforce will be composed of women, immigrants and people of color.
But 10 years, 20 years . . . that feels like an awfully long wait.
As with so many other groups who've struggled for equality, the younger black women reaping the rewards of an older generation's efforts often have a sunnier outlook on just how much race matters. And social class can reinforce that buppie bubble: If you're not the first in your family to get through the door, most likely you'll have a comfort level around white folks that makes it easier to play the corporate game. That's true for the age group that I call the Hybrids, those of us who were born from 1959 to 1969 and grew up in the post–Civil Rights, pre-hip-hop period. Not coincidentally, many of the Obama women are Hybrids. Riding the cusp between boomers and Gen Xers, post-segregation and allegedly post-racial, we're comfortable straddling the line between Harvard and the hood. Growing up as we did next to kids of other colors makes for a worldview radically different from that of our parents, many of whom grew up in Jim Crow America.
"I can run up one side of the culture and down the other, and I can do it with ease and authenticity because I'm not fighting the same battles that my mama did," says Washington Post journalist Lonnae O'Neal Parker, 42, author of I'm Every Woman: Remixed Stories of Marriage, Motherhood, and Work. "I'm taking it for granted that you're taking my humanity for granted on a basic level." Her experience is very different from that of Dartmouth's Ella Bell, 60, who says, "We were the ones who walked in the door, and there wasn't a welcome mat for us. We had to learn how to survive, how to play the game. We got hurt; we got wounded; we got insulted."
Not feeling that you have to go in fighting the power is a luxury afforded us Hybrids. And it makes for a very different work experience from that of, say, broadcast pioneer Cathy Hughes, chair and founder of the Radio One and TV One networks, who was born in 1947 and came of age in the Black Is Beautiful era of the 1960s and 1970s. For her generation of black boomers, Hughes says, the mere sight of a black man on a date with a white woman was enough to ignite all sorts of hurt and resentment. "We would confront a white woman in the bathroom, or say something under our breath about the brother," she recalls. "That certainly translates over into the workplace. There's that bitterness. My generation was constantly in a defensive posture: 'Did I not get this promotion because I'm black?' "
I can't help but feel that, conversely, my Hybrid peers and I are sometimes too slow to recognize discrimination, whether it's based on race, gender or both. "You all might be slow on the uptake, but we were overly paranoid," Hughes says. "Maybe the next generation will find a happy medium."
Ah, Generation Next. Thanks to the rap industry, African-Americans like Russell Simmons, P. Diddy, Jay-Z and Damon Dash got seriously rich building businesses that were, to steal a phrase from a hip-hop clothing line, "for us, by us." And female entertainers such as Beyoncé and the rapper Eve, as well as Simmons's ex-wife, the model Kimora Lee Simmons, have done the same. The result: a new generation of entrepreneurs. According to Hughes, whose organization conducted a study of black consumers, the hip-hop generation (that is, twenty- and thirty-somethings) doesn't care so much about making it in corporate America: "They're saying, 'Oh, no, I'm going to college so I can work for myself.' "
"Maybe we need to redefine what we mean by success," says Fox's Andrea Berry. "Who's defining it as, 'Woe is me, we don't have any numbers in corporate America'? Who gives a shit? If they're not going to give it to us, then we need to create our own."
And be so visible doing it, the world will no longer feel compelled to remark upon our uniqueness. If that happens, the black women of Generation Next will not find themselves weeping in front of their TVs just because a smart black woman is having a prime time moment.

African-American women are a major force in the Obama administration: The New Face of D.C. Power. But how are they faring in other parts of the workplace?
Despite our qualifications, black women are still hugely underrepresented in the corporate world and in other centers of power. The reasons are varied—corporations are often ineffective at putting their own diversity policies into practice, or still practice a form of tokenism where one black woman is seen as fulfilling a quota. Another factor holding us back: Us. As Ella LJ Edmondson Bell sees it, we tend to be outspoken and self-sufficient. All good qualities. But, says Bell, an associate professor at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business and author of Our Separate Ways: Black and White Women and the Struggle for Professional Identity, "We've been taught, 'Put your nose to the grindstone.' 'Why do I need relationships? I'm working as hard as I can.' But you can't be a leader if you don't build relationships." Building relationships builds buzz, and buzz is what gets you noticed. "For black women, that buzz is lacking . . . Buzz is about performance and relationship. Sometimes we sabotage ourselves . . . Sometimes we leave [a job] too soon. It takes longer for us; we think it's going to happen overnight. And when you leave too soon, you don't get the goodies."
Some of the issues are similar to (if perhaps more intense than) those that have dogged white women's professional progress: the glass (or, as some African-American women call it, "concrete") ceiling; the stereotyping (we're too confrontational, too aggressive, too quick to question authority); the exclusion from informal networking opportunities for those of us who do want to build the buzz.
A key component to breaking through those barriers, experts say, is mentorship, someone to help you navigate the intricacies of work life, whether work means a law firm, a major corporation, academia or an hospital. According to Katherine Giscombe, vice president of women of color research at Catalyst, a New York–based research firm that studies women in business, women of color who had two or more mentors are much more likely to be promoted, and that, generally, "the more diverse the mentors in terms of the type of support they provide, the better." Better still: Having a sponsor who has got the power to push you forward. "You need a rabbi," says Bell.
"Those of us who trail-blazed before, we had our mentors, but it wasn't as obvious at times," says Judith Jamison, 66, artistic director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. "Everybody had everybody's back, but now it's really out there. Women are supported in ways that were not obvious before." Fifteen years ago, Jamison started a women's initiative for female choreographers of all colors, many of who now have their own dance companies. "Mentorship is important, absolutely," she says. "It's key, all the way from my family, through my teachers, through the wisdom you honor and respect. I'm thinking [dancer/choreographers] Carmen de Lavallade, the Mary Hinksons along your way, Sylvia Waters and Agnes de Mille, if that isn't mentorship, I don't know what is."
There are formal networking organizations, like historically black sororities such as the Alpha Kappa Alphas (which celebrated its centennial in 2008) and Delta Sigma Theta (my grandmother's sorority), and the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, which focuses on promoting leadership development and gender equity for women of color.
But many women, like Andrea Berry, a 48-year-old senior vice president for broadcast operations at Fox Networks, find that they tend to network along more informal lines, getting together for lunches, or unofficially mentoring young talent. "There's a sisterhood," Berry says of her fellow African-American vice presidents at Fox. "But whether we can do an organized thing for the betterment of people, I don't know if we have time for that," she muses. "We're all working; we all have husbands; we all have kids. The work-life balance for all women in challenging." (Berry, who has a mentee herself, notes that many of her peers have decided they want to leave corporate life and start giving back.)
"I'm not a joiner," says Tanya Chutkan, 47, an attorney who is a partner specializing in litigation and white collar criminal defense at the high-profile Washington, D.C.–based law firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP. "What's been helpful to me are other women in the areas in which I've practiced who've reached out to me. When I was a summer associate, partners in my firm would take us to lunch. Now I make it a habit to take the summer associates out." D.C. is a small enough city, Chutkan says, so that women lawyers know each other and will pass along cases that they can't take. Or, if they know someone who's applying for a judgeship, it's, "Let's email the people we know and lobby for them. Informal lobbying and mentoring and reaching out, that's more effective than a formal organization."
Whether black women choose formal or informal networking routes, "you open your own doors," says Judith Jamison. "There is no ceiling. You create your own space."
"You put your best foot out there in the world, and never forget where you came from, and how far you came," Jamison adds. "Because you didn't get there by yourself."

Hot chocolate season is here. Sure, it's warm by midday, but the mornings and evenings are what dictate this particular culinary season, and it's cool enough now that a cuppa cocoa is called for.
Only not, please, actual cocoa. Jump with me and let's talk more about this...
Without sounding extreme, cocoa is a namby-pamby nursery-quality drink, fit for little children who don't know better yet and with only animal crackers as a suitable pairing.
Hot chocolate is something different, totally deserving of the Latin name given to its tree of origin, theobroma.
Cocoa is made from powder. Powder has no fat in it to speak of. Hot chocolate is made from bars of chocolate, full of cocoa butter.
Remember the first rule of good eating? Fat=flavor.
So rejoice that 1) real hot chocolate (known in the U.S., unfortunately, as "European style") is becoming more and more available in SLC and surrounding areas, and 2) real hot chocolate is easy to make at home, especially considering the amazingly wide selection of world class chocolate available here. (Caputo's carries more than 350 kinds.)
An example of the difference in richness between cocoa and hot chocolate: cocoa is traditionally served in wide handled cups holding 8 ounces or so. Hot chocolate is traditionally served in a demitasse like cup, holding no more than 4 ounces. Because really, that's all you can hold.
Les Madeleines serves several kinds of hot chocolate, using Valrhona chocolate and different add-ins. The current fave is peanut butter; the pb gives the drink a heft that makes it taste nutritious, especially in the morning.
And now Caputo's is giving a jump start (like they did Creminelli's now world-famous salumi) to Alexandra Ziegenmeier's little enterprise called Chocolate + Cream, which sells its hot chocolate mixtures to restaurants.
Today and all the rest of the week, C+C will be sampling their hot chocolate at the Broadway store, and I just got home from a tasting. There are 3 kinds—the basic, Chocolate + Cream, using milk chocolate, with a slightly salty, almond-like undertone to it;
Chocolate + Caramel, made with Valrhona Caramello and a tiny bit of lemon and espresso; Mayan, made with dark chocolate and habanero.
They're kept at a steady 160 degrees in a nifty machine that keeps the chocolate moving so a skin never forms on top.
Chocolate + Cream plans to start selling its hot chocolate at Caputo's next week—a 4-ounce serving, topped with whipped cream, will sell for somewhere between $4 and $5.
Meanwhile, next door, Bruges's winter menu includes Belgian hot chocolate. Clearly, it's time for a taste test.
Like I said, though, hot chocolate is easy to make at home, where you can not only have seconds for free, but add a slug of Kahlua or Amaretto. In the evening, I mean. Here's how I make it. MM's Hot Chocolate
2 cups whole milk (we drink skim, so I use that and add 3 Tbsp.of my cat's cream) 4 oz Green & Black organic baking chocolate (72% cocoa with extra cocoa butter) 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 teaspoons sugar 1 little pinch salt Stir together milk, vanilla, sugar and salt in saucepan till mixed. Break the chocolate into pieces and add to milk. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until chocolate is melted. At this point, you'll still see tiny flecks of chocolate in the milk. Remove mixture from heat and whisk briskly until milk gets foamy and flecks are gone. Put back on burner and heat. DO NOT BOIL. Pour into cups and garnish with whipped cream, marshmallows or nothing.

Goldenberg's Peanut Chews are a very well know candy if you're a Philadelphia local. It's a classic candy, as it's been around since 1917. I hadn't had one until summer 2005 where I stumbled across a promo for them on the streets of Manhattan. I tried the free samples I was given and feel in love with their flavor. It's delicious and timeless.
Now some years later, Goldenberg's Peanut Chews have re-designed the packaging and are trying to get the word out about Peanut Chews. I for once, am happy to help, as I know a "local" candy can sometimes have a hard time branching out. I feel they're doing a good job, as I have seen Peanut Chews around here in Los Angeles on occasion. When Goldenberg's Peanut Chews asked if I'd like some samples for a review, I excitedly said yes!
I want to start by saying I love the new packaging. It's retro yet keeps the essence of the candy. It doesn't look out of place on the candy shelf, and it's eye catching at the same time. Peanut Chews come in two varieties, milk and dark chocolate. Each is color coded and easy to identify.
For those of you who don't know what exactly is a peanut chew? It's a chewy center made of peanuts mixed with a molasses then covered in chocolate. Simple yet tasty. I have to also say that, these Peanut Chews are not using real chocolate. They're mockolate, as there's no cocoa butter in there. It's right there in the ingredients.
The milk chocolate variety smells sweet and full of peanuts. The flavor is very heavy on the milk chocolate's sweetness and the toasty peanuts. The chew is nice and think and there's no hint of the molasses.
The dark chocolate has a very different flavor. The flavor is not as heavy of on the peanuts, you taste more of the chocolate and the molasses. I think I like the dark chocolate version better because the notes of the molasses is are really unique and wonderful flavor.
Goldenberg's Peanut Chews are a candy that I keep coming back to. They have such a classic flavor and its simplicity is really delicious and addicting. That combined with the nostalgia factor and the connection with Philadelphia (which really means a lot to my Philly raised fiance!) makes Goldenberg's Peanut Chews a candy that is found in my candy stash very often.

Man crashes into bridge column, airlifted to Baptist
Published: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 5:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 5:18 p.m.
REEDS | An Advance man suffered "significant" injuries Tuesday afternoon after his SUV went off the road to the right on U.S. Highway 64 West and hit a bridge column before the engine caught on fire, said Reggie Lookabill, a captain with Davidson County Emergency Services.
Harry Eugene Hill, 68, was transported to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem via AirCare, said Trooper T.J. Norman with the N.C. Highway Patrol. Emergency responders were dispatched to the call about 2:45 p.m. The accident occurred under the N.C. Highway 150 bridge.
Norman said late Tuesday evening that troopers believe Hill having a medical condition caused the crash. The trooper explained he's confident the injuries, which included several broken ribs, were not life-threatening. Norman's condition was not readily available with WFBMC late Tuesday evening.
The single-vehicle accident involved a 2009 GMC Acadia that was traveling east on U.S. Highway 64. Norman said man never hit the brakes before hitting the column at an estimated 55 miles per hour. The trooper said the man was unresponsive upon the arrival of troopers and was wearing a seatbelt.
Norman said a Davidson County sheriff's deputy cut the man's seatbelt off, and a trooper and firefighter assisted in removing the man from the vehicle. The trooper said the bridge is OK after the accident.
Chief Chad Fink of the Reeds Volunteer Fire Department said firefighters pulled up to find one vehicle had hit the bridge column.
"He wasn't pinned (inside the vehicle)," the chief said. "He wasn't entrapped. He was just unconscious. We pretty much pulled him out and extinguished the fire."
Lookabill said the primary concern was to get the patient out of the vehicle before extinguishing the fire. The captain said he didn't see any burns on the man, and there was probably some smoke inhalation.
Fink said the landing zone for the AirCare helicopter was about a mile away at Sink Farm Equipment. The Tyro Volunteer Fire Department set up the landing zone.
Aside from Tyro and Reeds firefighters, the West Lexington Volunteer Fire Department responded. Norman credited the firefighters late Tuesday evening with saving the man's life. Had the firefighters not gotten to the fire as quickly as they did, Hill would have died in his vehicle, the trooper said.

ZF-4259: zend http client with proxy
not working when rediretion occurs on server. (will add more info later). same address works when Fireox or Explorer is used with proxy
i made it works by changing 'write' method in Proxy.php:
$request = "{$method} {$uri->getPath()} HTTP/{$http_ver}\r\n";
$request = "{$method} {$uri->__toString()} HTTP/{$http_ver}\r\n";
CONNECT h1.host.com:443 HTTP/1.1 Host: 10.10.0.1
HTTP/1.0 200 Connection established
CONNECT h5.host.comhttps:443 HTTP/1.1 Host: 10.10.0.1
Hi -
Can you provide a more clear scenario?
I see you have HTTPS - does it also happen when you use regular HTTP proxy and not HTTPS ?
Where does the redirection happen? On the proxy server or on the remote server? What is the redirection code?
sorry for the delay.
code + tcp dump follows:
$config = array(
'adapter' => 'Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Proxy',
'timeout' => '15',
//'ssltransport' => 'ssl',
'useragent' => '',
'proxy_host' => '10.3.0.24',
'proxy_port' => '3128',
'proxy_user' => '',
'proxy_pass' => ''
$uri = "https://www.sf.net/";
$client = new Zend_Http_Client($uri, $config);
$response = $client->request();
$body = $response->getBody();
file_put_contents('proxyssl.dump', $body);
catch (Exception $ex){
echo $ex->getMessage();
CONNECT www.sf.net:443 HTTP/1.1. Host: 10.3.0.24. User-agent:
HTTP/1.0 200 Connection established.
CONNECT sourceforge.nethttps:443 HTTP/1.1. Host: 10.3.0.24. User-agent:
redirection for http works fine. tested using proxy and the same host (http://sf.net )
Sorry for delaying with this - I almost used your patch to fix this. Please test with trunk after CS-17014. BTW this looks like some odd behavior of the sf.net servers because plain Apache works fine (I've been testing this for some time now).
Actually the SF.net servers send a pretty malformed redirection header (this is a dump of the response from sf.net):
HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Location: http://sourceforge.nethttps://www.sf.net:443/
Server: BigIP
Connection: close
Content-Length: 0
As you can see something is buggy either in their code, or with their servers.. But since you say this doesn't happen with Firefox, I assumed this is something we can probably do better :)
Thanks for reporting!
This is indeed the difference, and this problem was fixed in SVN trunk. You can test with the latest SVN checkout or wait for the next release which will probably include this fix.
I set fix version. I find this at SVN r17118 in 1.9 branch.

Located on the waterfront between Granville Ferry and Port Royal, the Melanson Settlement National Historic Site is one of our region's more recent commemorative sites. More than just a memorial to one family, the Melanson Settlement represents all of the Acadian families who once lived in this area. Imagine a number of small, family based settlements laying themselves out along the shores of the Annapolis Basin. Here the Acadians worked tirelessly to reclaim fertile land from the salt marshes by building dykes to hold back the tides of the Bay of Fundy. As one of the best preserved examples of this unique style of farming and community living developed by the Acadians, the Melanson settlement is an excellent choice as a representative of the early Acadian presence in our province.
It is very, very difficult to find something positive which came out of the Acadian deportation of 1755 - 1764. During these traumatic years, the French speaking Acadians of Nova Scotia (Acadie to the Acadians) were removed from the farms and communities which they had been developing for 120 years. Families were broken apart, people were killed or lost at sea, and homes were burned to prevent the Acadians from coming back. Without a doubt, this is the most devastating event in the history of the Acadian people. When this is the framework, it is very hard to find a cloud with a silver lining.
Surprisingly, the Melanson Settlement and sites like it do provide a very small silver lining. When the Melanson Settlement was destroyed, the British burned the site to the ground. While this does nothing on a humanitarian basis, it provides a wonderful archaeological site. Fortunately, the lands of the Melanson Settlement were not redeveloped after the Acadians were removed. With the exception of some light farming, this site has remained untouched since the descendants of Charles Melanson were loaded onto ships. Because of this, the archaeological work at the Melanson Settlement in the 1980s has given us a great deal of our current knowledge about the material culture of the Acadian community. We have been able to learn about the types and sizes of houses as well as the type of tools used by the Acadians. We have also been able to learn about the Acadian diet and their trading patterns with Europe and New England. Since the whole community was destroyed at the same time, there is little chance of post 1755 material contaminating the site. Thanks to the destruction of the community we have been able to learn a great deal about it. As I said, in the broader sense, it is a very small silver lining.
If you visit the site today, you will find a short trail with some interpretive panels which tell the story of the settlement. From the viewing platform you can look off to the right and see a dyke holding back the water in much the same way that those built by the Melanson family would have. To the left is a hill where much of the settlement is actually located. The trail purposefully avoids the hill to discourage people from conducting their own digs. The main archaeological feature which can be seen from the viewing platform is a foundation which may have once housed a windmill.
All for now,

Inaugural Mission & Awards Dinner
MTSA Hosts Inaugural Mission & Awards Dinner
On Thursday, May 8, approximately 234 guests gathered to celebrate the Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia at the School's Inaugural Mission & Awards Dinner, an evening of dining, recognition and celebration. This black-tie optional event held at Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum celebrated MTSA's heritage and mission, while recognizing outstanding anesthesia providers and clinical leaders who reflect the best in anesthesia education.
In addition to the awards presented, Richie McDonald, lead singer for the group LONESTAR entertained the guests when he made a surprise appearance. Proceeds from the event will be used for capital improvements and program development needs specific to MTSA's Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice Degree (DNAP). MTSA began the DNAP program in September 2013, and unlike other Doctor of Nursing Practice degrees, MTSA's DNAP program is unique due to its focus in anesthesia.
The evening recognized local and regional individuals who have helped transform MTSA, the students who attend, and the field of anesthesia across Middle Tennessee.
Awards Presented Include:
Clinical Excellence Award was presented to Kent Price, CRNA, APN
· Price is a practicing Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist at Summit Medical Center in Nashville, TN, where he regularly interfaces with MTSA students as clinical instructor. He received this award because of his eagerness to instruct, train, and educate MTSA students.

Philanthropy Award was presented to Bernard V. Bowen, CRNA, DSc (posthumously)
· Bowen was an outstanding benefactor to MTSA through a major bequest, and a divided interest in a limited partnership which continues to generate a monthly income for the School. In 1950, he founded the Madison Hospital School of Anesthesia for nurses, and in 1980, it officially became Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia. This award was accepted by Vicki Nenner, Bowen's niece.
The Mary Elizabeth DeVasher Distinguished Alumni Service Award was presented to Wayne Winfree, CRNA, MS, APN
· Winfree is a practicing Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist and the President of Cumberland Anesthesia in Carthage, TN. He is a two-time graduate of MTSA and a member of MTSA's first Master of Science class. He has served MTSA an alumni president, trustee and on several committees.

Metabolon said today it has completed its acquisition of Lipomics Technologies for an undisclosed amount.
Lipomics founder Steven M. Watkins, Ph.D., will join Metabolon's executive team as chief technology officer as part of the deal, which weds Lipomics' TrueMass® Profiling lipids technology platform with Metabolon's metabolomics technology platform for commercial services and diagnostics.
Metabolon's lead diagnostic product, Quantose™ IR, is a metabolomics-based insulin resistance diagnostic test for type 2 diabetes. The test measures levels of three novel non-glycemic biomarkers and insulin, with the goal of detecting prediabetes earlier and with greater sensitivity than traditional glycemic markers such as glucose and Hemoglobin A1C.
"We expect that in 2013 we will be marketing additional diagnostic products aimed at diseases related to obesity and cancer," Metabolon CEO John Ryals, Ph.D., said in a statement.
Metabolon will retain its headquarters and laboratories Research Triangle Park, as well as the laboratory facilities of Lipomics at what was its headquarters in Sacramento, CA. The combined company will have more than 140 employees and 450 clients, 2,000 completed commercial projects, and 200 scientific papers either published or under review. Last year alone, Metabolon completed more than 500 client studies and processed over 50,000 samples for customers.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Watching the game on ESPN2 and got a call that KASI 1430 announced the UCONN student thugs beat up CY and broke his or her arm. Hope a good lawsuit is aimed at UCONN thugs if true . Sounds like something an IOWA fan might do in IOWA CITY.

One of our posters here was Cy for at least part of the UConn trip...normally they switch people but I don't know if multiple people on the mascot squad traveled.
After a quick Facebook check, I'd guess cyman1189 is on the mascot DL.
I'm in. what do we need to do?

A waterproof, breathable technology utilizing a polyurethane (PU) coating that consists of a tri-component, multi-layer formula for waterproof protection, moisture permeability and durability. HyVent® technology has been lab- and field-tested to ensure the best possible durability and function while also maintaining an optimum level of breathability. To test the level of waterproofness, we subjected HyVent® garments to 20 wash cycles, where garments retained an average of more than 60 PSI on the waterproofing Mullens test.
