Research Focus Areas
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology
Surface Molecule Expression
My laboratory is interested in the study of host-parasite interactions with a focus on the molecular mechanisms by which parasitic organisms monitor and respond to their environments. Our model organism is the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei that inhabits two distinct biological niches – the tsetse fly vector and the mammalian bloodstream. Moving between these two environments requires modulation of a number of biological processes and pathways in a coordinated and tightly regulated fashion.
During its lifecycle, T. brucei uses fluctuating glucose levels as one signal to "sense" its environment. For a small molecule to serve as an effective "marker" for a particular environment, its availability must change from one niche to another. Glucose is an example of such a molecule. Short stumpy form parasites ingested by a feeding tsetse fly experience a rapid drop in glucose concentration, with the sugar in the blood nearly depleted in ~15 minutes. Bloodstream form (BSF) parasites that infect mammals also encounter changes in glucose concentrations. Both cerebrospinal fluid and blood glucose concentrations increase in febrile children (fever is frequently associated with trypanosomiasis), while mice infected with T. rhodesiense have decreased serum glucose.
Regulation of TbHKs
In general, there are multiple processes that can be used to regulate genes and their products. Alteration of gene expression through modulation in the rates of transcription, turn-over of steady-state RNA, and/or translation can influence the types of pathways available for catabolic/anabolic metabolism. Additionally, enzyme activity can be regulated by a number of mechanisms, including localization, multimerization, allosteric regulation, and a spectrum of post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation and glycosylation. Our long-term goal is to identify and characterize pathways that the parasite uses to modulate metabolic and developmental regulation in response to environmental changes within the host, with a particular focus on dissecting the role of trypanosome hexokinases (TbHKs) in these responses. We hypothesize that TbHK activity responds to, and is regulated by, cues provided by the host. Additionally, TbHKs likely serve a central regulatory role in the glucose response pathway. These hypotheses have been developed based on our efforts, both published and preliminary. Understanding the regulation and function of these essential proteins will provide new approaches for much-needed development of therapeutics for this parasite and could provide insight into glucose sensing in a variety of other systems, including higher eukaryotes.
Developmental and environmental regulation of TbHK gene expression
One area of emphasis in my group has been the resolution of cellular mechanisms involved in regulation of both transcript abundance and expression in response to environmental cues. For example, we have found that the differential polyadenylation of TbHK1 transcripts reported by Siegel et al (7 total mature mRNAs were identified by RNASeq) yields products that are maintained and expressed at different levels depending on environmental conditions. This process may involve differential polyadenylation in response to environmental cues, or preferential maintenance of particular species of transcripts depending on growth conditions.
Mechanisms for dynamic modulation of TbHK enzyme activity
One of our over-arching goals is to identify and characterize pathways that T. brucei uses to modulate metabolic and developmental regulation. We have made significant contributions to identifying potential metabolic regulators of TbHK activity within the cell, including the finding that free fatty acids can modulate enzyme activity in vitr. Further, free fatty acids can dissociate TbHK hexamers, suggesting that regulated disassembly and reassembly could be a cellular mechanism for regulation of enzyme activity. We continue to explore enzyme activity regulation with respect to multimerization and interaction with cellular metabolites.
Development of TbHK1 inhibitors as lead compounds for therapeutic development
The observation that T. brucei HKs have unique properties and are situated at the crossroads of important metabolic pathways suggests that these enzymes may be attractive drug targets. Indeed, inhibitors of trypanosome HK activity have been found to be trypanocidal to parasites grown in culture, albeit at high concentrations , and we have genetic evidence that TbHKs are essential.
To identify new TbHK1 inhibitors, we developed a collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh Drug Discovery Institute (DDI) to screen their small molecule library (~ 223,000 compounds) for inhibitors of recombinant TbHK1. In addition to TbHK1 inhibition, compounds were tested against Leishmania promastigoes, human cells, and BSF T. brucei. This campaign yielded promising leads, which are now in analog development through collaboration with the Kansas University Specialty Chemistry Center. We look forward to continued structure-activity relationship analysis, as well as testing promising leads against the African trypanosome in both acute and chronic infection animal models.
Long term objectives
Our research continues to provide insight into the regulation and function of two highly related HKs from the important pathogen T. brucei. These findings have also extended our understanding of mechanisms that the parasite uses to monitor its environment.The digenic lifestyle of the parasite requires dramatic developmental changes in response to marked differences in environment. Failure to regulate development in response to the environment (for example, inappropriate PF surface molecule expression in the BSF parasite) would likely be catastrophic for the parasite. One could envision a number of signaling pathways converging in response to the change of hosts from fly to mammal and back again, and we look forward to dissecting out the role of nutrient sensing in this complicated cascade.

The fastest way to appear as though you have your shit together is by wrapping a scarf, like this Diane von Furstenberg Bubsy Day Scarf ($195), around your neck. A yellow this bright isn't meant to coordinate with much else, but instead to stand out as the statement piece, giving you license to wear whatever else you please and still appear to know what you're doing. Wear it with some denim overalls and a sports bra, and call yourself an artiste. Or combine it with a pencil skirt and some court shoes to impress the boss. Either way, do it wearing sunglasses so no one can see the fear and trepidation in your eyes.

Ben Affleck On U.S. Senate Speculation: "I've Got A Lot On My Plate" (VIDEO)
Could Ben Affleck wind up in the U.S. Senate?
The Argo director's name is reportedly in the mix to replace Massachusetts senator John Kerry, who was nominated to replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State on Friday.
Affleck, who was on Capitol Hill this week to raise awareness about war-ravaged Congo, has been politically active for years and has frequently been the subject of speculation about possible public service.
His appearance in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, during which he testified on behalf of his Eastern Congo Initiative, revived buzz in political circles that Affleck could fill the presumed vacancy in the Massachusetts delegation if Kerry is indeed confirmed as Secretary of State.
Affleck sidestepped the Senate question when pressed by Bob Schieffer of CBS News for "Face the Nation."
"One never knows. I'm not one to get into conjecture," said Affleck with a smile. "I do have a great fondness and admiration for the political process in this country… But I'm not going to get into speculation about my political future."
He added, "Right now, I'm really happy being involved from the outside in government… I've got a lot on my plate."
A rep for Affleck did not get back to Gossip Cop about rumors the actor-director is on the short list to fill Kerry's seat.
Check out the video below!

Elkhorn Dahlia Farm is hosting its sixth annual acoustic Garden Song Summer Butterfly Concert series in its display gardens near Watsonville on Sunday afternoons through the end of September.
Colleen and Jim Goff have been growing and selling hundreds of varieties of dahlias on their 5-acre property of meadows and nursery gardens for the past 20 years. After the singer-song-writer's husband built her a bandstand under the shade of two oaks on the lawn close to their home, Colleen began asking her musician friends to share the space and the concert series was born.
Open on Sunday afternoons from 1 until 5 PM, the $15 price of admission to the concerts includes the opportunity to stroll past the vibrant dahlia beds as well as, what the Goff's describe as, a blend of French Country, English and Native California Oak Forest Landscaping. In addition to 800 varieties of dahlias, the nursery and flower gardens display about 1000 species of other flowering plants, including an expansive collection of hydrangeas and daylilies.
Located 3-miles inland from Moss Landing and Monterey Bay at 14581 Tumbleweed Lane, Watsonville, birds from nearby Elkhorn Slough's abundant population are frequent visitors. The property is also a certified butterfly habitat.
Where to Stay?
In addition to the numerous chain motels and upscale hostelries of Santa Cruz and the Monterey Peninsula, two unique local accommodations include the Freedom Rose House Queen Anne Victorian bed & breakfast in Watsonville and the Captain's Inn, a former boathouse with beds crafted from actual boats at Moss Landing.

Alexander Reyes becomes the latest pitching phenom to reach an agreement and start his professional career. Reyes is 18 years old stands 6'3″ 190lb with an easy delivery, a live arm and projection of 3 plus pitches.
Alex grew up in Elizabeth New Jersey with mother and father Dignora/Tomas and older brothers Adriel and Tomas Jr. and attended Alexander Hamilton Prep H.S. from 2009-2011. He played baseball for Elizabeth in Union-County where his primary position was on the mound but also played short-stop and had success at the HS level.
In June 2011 NJ.com posted a story saying "Alex Reyes, Elizabeth, 6-2, 165, Junior Lanky right-handed junior consistently pitched in the upper 80's, striking out 69 in 49 innings. Also batted .409."
Growing up in NJ wasn't an ideal situation for Reyes due to weather restrictions during the winter and an unstable practice regimen. Reyes and his family made a tough decision that would ultimately turn to good fortune.
During the fall of 2011 the family decided it was in Alex's best interest to develop his baseball skills in their native island of Dominican Republic. He packed his bags in December 2011 and arrived in the DR eager to start his development in his fathers home town of Palenque, San Cristobal with former Washington Nationals scout Juan Valera. During his first few months on the island the Reyes family was turned on to notable trainer Basilo "Cachasa" Vizcaino who's had a great track record in signing young players in their development stages, most notable top prospects Gary Sanchez-NYY and Adalberto Mondesi-KC among others. Cachasa was amazed with the type of package Reyes was, from his size, ability and projection to the aptitude in making adjustments and the make-up the young prospect carried himself with. During his year in DR Alex grew a few inches and put on 15-20lb. His arm strength increased and his pitching ability began to show polish by the day.
Reyes shows a present plus fastball and 2 other solid pitches, projecting him to be a quality starter down the road. His FB velocity sits 91-93 (95)mph; CB has tight rotation and can throw it for strikes; CH is deceptive with movement down in the zone. He commands his pitches and pounds the strike zone with a good feel for pitching.
Multiple teams expressed interest in the young hurler and followed his progression during his last 6 months in the DR. The St Louis Cardinals were not discouraged with the market, the clubs Dominican scouting supervisor Angel Ovalles and area scout Rodny Jimenez did their due diligence in evaluating Alex's consistency, make-up and background before they made a recommendation to acquire the hurler.
The Stl Cardinals and Reyes agreed to a $950,000 contract. Alex will more than likely start in the rookie level Gulf Coast League in 2013, but has the opportunity during spring training to open some eyes and move quickly through the system. The contract is pending MLB approval.

Catwoman Actresses
The 5 Sexiest Catwomen Of All TimeWhen it was announced that Anne Hathaway would play Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's Batman flick, we had our doubts. Today, the first picture of Hathaway as the sexy villainess was released, and our doubts have validated. Call us old-fashioned, but it's our firm belief that Catwoman doesn't need an apocalyptic Harley, space-aged Oakleys or the let's-put-red-lipstick-on-her-because-red-lips-are-sexy cliche. No, Catwoman's rolling Rs, bodysuit and vulnerability were plenty sexy -- and we're sure Adam West would agree.
So, in the name of preserving the fantasy that is Catwoman for men the world over, we urge you to block Hathaway's image out of your mind, and surrender to these top five sultry Catwoman actresses.

When the cast of the new "Fantastic Four" movie was revealed last month, loyal fans were outraged over the casting of the beloved Marvel characters. The most noticeable was the casting of Michael B. Jordan to play the role of Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch in Fox's upcoming reboot. Due to the announcement, it has drawn less than enthusiastic opinions and concerns from many corners of the fan community.
Hardcore "Fantastic Four" fans were not pleased with Jordan's casting because the "Human Torch" character is Caucasian in the comics. According to Superhero Hype report on Tuesday April 1, there is one person who approves and thinks Jordan is right for the part. It's Captain America himself, actor Chris Evans.
Evans told NY Daily News that he thinks the role is in great hands and Jordan will do a "Fantastic" job… Yeah that was a pun.
"It's so funny, you almost feel precious over the role that you don't want someone else to do it," said Evans. "But when you hear someone phenomenal is doing it, it's very exciting like you almost can't wait…. I couldn't even give that guy any advice if I wanted, that guy is so good. It's exciting to see what he's going to do, because I know he's going to reinvent it in a way that I could never have imagined…It's almost like we're sharing, the character is ours. I feel like I'm connected with him in a way, It's a nice feeling. "
Chris Evans played the role of Johnny Storm in previous films, Fantastic Four (2005) and the 2007 sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
It's nice to know that Mr. Evans approves, or maybe he's secretly hope the character wouldn't be ruined. Whatever it is… Michael B. Jordan, you have the stamp of approval from Captain America.
"The Fantastic Four" reboot is slated to be release in theaters June 19, 2015.

"Polyversional compositions were defined by Boguslaw Schaeffer already in the 1960s. They were pieces written down not as "definite aggregates" being an obligation towards an interpreter to perform the sounds composer had in his mind but rather potential aggregates encompassing variety of possible versions. After nearly half-century, a couple of notes should be added to the definition, even if they are nothing more than questions on its margins. They are not rooted in any theoretical insight but only in working on that particular album. The question is: if the score is missing, can polyversionality mean improvising the soloist part upon listening to a fixed tape? If close listening to an "original" version (based on a score) leaves a lot of doubt about the faithfulness to the score, do other more loose versions have to be mere variations? And finally: does changing a title free us from an obligation of a faithful performance or is it only a misuse and attempt to pretend that a particular performance which is nothing more but one of possible realizations of Schaeffer's compositions is a creation of a different composer?

Housekeeping like an Olympian
Looking for an award winning room cleaning? Look no further than the skilled housekeeping staff here at M and all over the Las Vegas Valley. Last week, resorts up and down Las Vegas Boulevard gathered to take place in the 2011 Housekeeping Olympics. Housekeepers put their talents to the test in four events; a bed making competition, mop race, vacuum relay and a buffer pad toss. If you think cleaning your own house is hard enough try doing it while racing against skilled cleaning professionals!
The annual event kicked off with the bed making competition. Our star bed-maker Ana participated. Her bed making was judged not only on speed but also accuracy. You can see Ana demonstrate how she makes our signature beds at M in this video we posted recently on our blog.
Next up was a test of agility in the mop relay, one of the most difficult challenges of the Housekeeping Olympics. Our Team Member Norma did her best to dodge the obstacles of seven wet floor signs while maneuvering her mop around them at the same time.
Our M Olympic Team shined in the vacuum relay, scoring a second place spot! Edith showed off her fierce vacuum skills while clearing confetti from the carpet and bringing home a silver medal for the M team!
The most entertaining event was the buffer pad toss. Erica and Myra teamed up to complete this challenge. One person was blindfolded and had to toss the buffer's onto a toilet plunger which their partner was holding. This one probably isn't used in day-to-day housekeeping techniques but it's still a special skill.
Team Members from all different departments at M came out to support and cheer on our housekeeping staff as they showed off at the Housekeeping Olympics.

All things Mother Earth Living

HVP, human powered vehicle, TrikE
I loved my trike when I was a kid. I could ride it all the way to the corner and back, and I liked the independence. Now I'm looking at a different kind of independence—from my car—and a TrikE is looking pretty good.
TrikE's enclosed design protects the rider from weather, making the vehicle useable year-round. Photo Courtesy SpeedStudioDesign.com.
TrikE, an electric-assisted human powered vehicle (HPV), has a 750-watt electric motor that enables it to reach speeds of up to 20 miles per hour. The motor's 36-volt lithium battery pack costs just pennies to recharge. TrikE's enclosed design offers weather protection, and a compartment behind the rider offers cargo storage. TrikE is legally classified as a bicycle, which means I wouldn't need a license to ride it, and I wouldn't have to insure it
This thing would be perfect for trips to the yoga studio and the grocery store, and I could avoid traffic by taking the bike lanes. I like this independence.

You may remember a few posts ago when I showed you a video from the soup featuring the spaghetti cat (pictured on the left). Well, it turns out that the spaghetti cat actually is their censor image, meaning anytime someone says something that should be censored, the program shows that picture and drops the sound. In this case, I guess the girl says the word "retarded" so they censor her out.
In any case, I wanted to know where they found the picture of the spaghetti cat and so I began searching the internets...and after like 2 minutes, I got distracted by something else and completely forgot about the search. Fortunately, I stumbled upon another video that made me laugh that also happens to involve a cat eating human food. Here's a video of a cat eating with a fork. As a bonus, it also features a crazy cat lady.
That's crazy huh? I hope that starts your shortened week out right.

That "news" station needs to fire their fact checker. That tabby was clearly eating dessert with a spork, not a spoon, as was stated in the video.

GW: Create Your Own Guild War 2 Story
Guild Wars 2 has the exciting feature of not only being able to choose your race and profession but also your own personal history.
The choices that you make when creating your new character intricately change your experience in game, affecting not only cosmetic things like your appearance and armour but also your starting area and the type of quests that you get given. However, there will be no 'best' choices and nothing that you decide in your personal story will put you at a disadvantage.

I was sold on GW2 the instant I saw that a character's biggest disappointment in life was that they never joined up with the circus.

Well I seemed to have summed it up in the title.
What would the system requirements be to load up the "works?"
I did a search but could find nothing on this topic when it comes to Football Mananger 2008.
Anyone have an idea, or maybe an estimation for me?

Valvular heart disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality world-wide. Classical replacement surgery involves the implantation of mechanical valves or biological valves (xeno- or homografts). Tissue engineering of heart valves represents a new experimental concept to improve current modes of therapy in valvular heart surgery. Various approaches have been developed differing either in the choice of scaffold (synthetic biodegradable polymers, decellularised xeno- or homografts) or cell source for the production of living tissue (vascular derived cells, bone marrow cells or progenitor cells from the peripheral blood). The use of autologous bone marrow cells in combination with synthetic biodegradable scaffolds bears advantages over other tissue engineering approaches: it is safe, it leads to complete autologous prostheses and the cells are more easily obtained in the clinical routine. Even though we demonstrated the feasibility to construct living functional tissue engineered heart valves from human bone marrow cells, so far their general potential to differentiate into non-hematopoietic cell lineages is not fully exploited for tissue engineering applications.

Sod & Grass Seed
In the landscape and garden supply business for 30 years, Best Buy Landscape Supply is the place to go in the Portland Metro Area for unbeatable deals on Portland compost, Grass Seed and Sod in Portland, OR.Everyone would love to have a nice lawn. A distinct part of the American Dream is captured by the imagery of a beautiful yard with a white picket fence, tall, healthy trees, a striking garden, and a luscious, pristine, green lawn that runs around the entire house. Unfortunately, it can often be very difficult to make this utopic yard a reality.
Best Buy Garden Supply is happy to tell you that your dream of a beautiful yard with a spectacular lawn does not have to stay just that—a dream.
Let us make your dream a reality!
Best Buy in Town has two options for a healthy green lawn.
Your Source for Sod in Portland, Oregon
The first option—the plug and play alternative—is to order BBIT's Sod. You will not find a better deal on a higher quality sod in the entire Portland, Oregon Metro Area, Beaverton, Cedar Hills, Aloha, Bethany, Hillsboro, or Rock Creek! We strongly recommend our Landscaper's Choice Soil Blend™ or our Plant Mix Soil to create a healthy base for your new lawn. You can either pick up the fresh sod (cut to order) from our location—2200 NW Cornelius Pass Road, Hillsboro, OR 97124—or we will deliver it right to your driveway. Just call Monday through Friday to place your order, and allow one to two days for delivery.
BBIT's sod comes in 2 distinct varieties:
1. 3 Way Rye Blend Sod: This sod type is designed for lawn areas that are consistently exposed to the sun.
2. RTF Sod (Rhizomatous Tall Fescue): This sod is one of the most advanced sods available in the Pacific Northwest. Specifically designed for both the benefits and the rigors of our climate and typical conditions, our richly colored and dense RTF sod stays strong and healthy in the sun—and is a better choice for shady areas. With a more substantial and tougher blade of grass, Best Buy Garden Supply's Rhizomatous Tall Fescue sod is durable and resilient. By using 30-50% less water than the 3 Way Rye Blend and generating carbohydrate storing rhizomes and deep root systems, our RTF sod is incredibly drought tolerant and requires less fertilizer. It only needs 3-5 hours of direct sunlight to maintain grass blade and root health.
Grass Seed
Best Buy in Town's grass seed, just like our sod, is premium, containing everything you need to create a beautiful lawn. This is the option for repairs of bare spots in your lawn or for a more patient and traditional approach to putting in a lawn (If you are looking for immediate, attractive results, we recommend that you consider one of our sod options).
As a good rule of thumb, 5 lbs. of our grass seed covers approximately 900 square feet. Best Buy Garden Supply sells lawn seed in 3 different sized bags—5 lbs., 10 lbs. or 25 lbs.
So, regardless of how large or small an area you want to seed, we have you covered!
BBIT's grass seed is available in 3 different types:
1. 3 Way Rye Blend Grass Seed: is meant for areas of considerable sun exposure.
2. Rye Fescue Blend Grass Seed: is meant to be used for areas of shade.
3. RTF (Rhizomatous Tall Fescue) Grass Seed: is our best grass seed. With all of the same characteristics and properties previously mentioned about our RTF sod, the RTF grass seed generates an unmatched, deluxe lawn. In fact, it is the same lawn seed that is used at the Reserve Golf Course in Aloha. Who wouldn't want their lawn to look like a golf course?
Do you have questions? Let our friendly staff answer them!

INDIANAPOLIS — Other sights and sounds from Day 1 of the Big Ten Tournament at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, where Minnesota and Northwestern won the evening session games following victories by Illinois and Ohio State to start the day.
Is it too late for the Big Ten to back out of adding Maryland and Rutgers?
Maryland and Rutgers, the two schools slated to join the Big Ten for the 2014-15 season, had conference tournament performances to forget Thursday.
Firmly on the NCAA tournament bubble, the Terrapins (17-15) lost 67-65 on a last-second dunk to Florida State in the second round of the ACC Tournament. Maryland, which finished 9-9 in the ACC, will likely not hear its name called on Selection Sunday for the fourth consecutive year, its longest stretch of futility since missing the NCAA tournament from 1989-93.
If Maryland's defeat was heart-wrenching, Rutgers' loss was nothing short of embarrassing.
Louisville dropped the Scarlet Knights 92-31 in the American Athletic Conference quarterfinals, scoring 44 points off 26 Rutgers turnovers. The Cardinals led 58-16 at half, meaning the defending national champions could've gone scoreless in the second half and still won by 27.
The Scarlet Knights have six NCAA appearances, with none since 1991. Eddie Jordan, who helped Rutgers to the 1976 Final Four and was the head coach of three NBA teams, is in his first year heading his alma mater. To this point, Jordan's squad has managed just three wins over Division I teams with .500 records or better.
State of Indiana shut out of NCAAs
For the first time since 2005, the Hoosier State will not be represented in the NCAA tournament. The state's four flagship programs — Indiana, Purdue, Butler and Notre Dame — all bowed out in the first round of their respective conference tournaments, with Hoosiers the only squad presently above .500.
As for the other Division I state schools needing conference tournament titles to gain entry to the NCAA tournament, Indiana State and IPFW fell in their respective championship games, while Ball State, IUPUI, Evansville and Valparaiso all bowed out before the semifinal round.
Prior to 2005, 1975 was last time the entire state of Indiana was shut out, so it's a good bet not to happen again in 2015.
With another win, Minnesota could be lucky No. 7
The top six teams in the Big Ten regular-season standings — Michigan, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Nebraska, Ohio State and Iowa — are considered to be in good standing when it comes to punching their Big Dance tickets.
Minnesota (20-12, 8-10 B10), the No. 7 seed, dispatched No. 10 Penn State 63-56 Thursday. With a win today against Wisconsin the Golden Gophers may jump off the bubble and into the tournament. Their coach thought they could've sewn up a bid Thursday night.
"I thought that if we won tonight and things went our way, we could be in," Minnesota coach Richard Pitino said.
The Golden Gophers' RPI of 50 is solid and its strength of schedule ranking (fifth) is even better, but their 3-8 record against the RPI top 50 is lacking, as their 3-7 road record.
Ohio State, Matta continue B10 tourney dominance
With its 63-61 win over Purdue, Thursday, Ohio State bumped its all-time record in the Big Ten Tournament to 23-9, good for a tournament-best winning percentage of 72 percent.
Under the tutelage of 10th-year coach Thad Matta, the Buckeyes have reached the tourney's title game in seven of the past eight years, winning championships in 2007, 2010, 2011 and 2013.
OSU has typically been hot leading into postseason play, posting 7-3, 7-3, 6-3, 7-2 and 8-1 marks the last five years from Feb. 1 up to the Big Ten tournament.

Mike Muscala and Bucknell go for their 12th win of the season on Saturday.
Dec. 21, 2012
Patriot League Men's Basketball Weekend Preview - 12.21.12
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Seven Patriot League teams play their last game before Christmas on Saturday, including one who is trying to match the record for non-League wins in the regular season.
Bucknell carries a six-game win streak, and its best start in 105 years, into its matchup at Princeton. At 11-1, the Bison have their top mark through 12 games since the 1907-08 season. A victory would make Bucknell just the third Patriot League team with 12 non-League victories in the regular season, joining Fordham (1990-91) and Lehigh (2011-12).
Four others are on the road, including two who play at ranked opponents. American is at No. 15/21 Georgetown in a game shown on MASN at Noon, while Lafayette visits No. 13/16 Minnesota at 7 p.m. on Big Ten Network. Holy Cross goes to Harvard and Colgate is at St. Francis (NY).
Army and Navy return from their exam breaks with home games, trying to pad the Patriot League's combined mark of 27-6 at home. The Black Knights welcome Rosemont while the Mids host Northern Kentucky in afternoon contests.
Lehigh went into its holiday break with a 90-75 win at North Texas on Thursday despite playing without the nation's top scorer, C.J. McCollum. At 9-2, Lehigh has its best mark through 11 games since 1925-26.
After Saturday, Patriot League teams are all off until at least Dec. 28.

Patriot League Notebook
Bucknell Off to Best Start Since the Cubs Won the World Series
In the year 1908, Christy Mathewson led all National League pitchers with 37 wins, William Howard Taft won the presidential election, and the Chicago Cubs captured their most recent World Series title. That was also the last time Bucknell had 11 or more wins through 12 games, as that 1907-08 Bison squad finished the season a perfect 12-0. That all changed on Wednesday, as the Bison moved to 11-1 for the first time in 105 years with a 71-65 win over Marist. The Bison have posted quality wins over the likes of Purdue, George Mason, New Mexico State, Kent State and La Salle, and received votes in the Associated Press poll on Monday while remaining at No. 5 in the College Insider.com Mid-Major Top 25. Bucknell is also just outside the top 30 in the Collegiate Basketball News RPI rating. A win on Saturday at Princeton would make Bucknell just the third Patriot League team with 12 non-League victories in the regular season, joining Fordham (1990-91) and Lehigh (2011-12).
Lehigh Has its Top Mark in Nearly 90 Years
Not to be outdone by its rival, Lehigh has its best record through 11 games since the 1925-26 season. The Mountain Hawks improved to 9-2 with a 90-75 victory at North Texas on Thursday, which also gave them their first eight-game regular-season winning streak since that same campaign. The Mountain Hawks won despite the absence of C.J. McCollum, as the nation's leading scorer missed the first game in his collegiate career. Lehigh's only losses this year came against Baylor and Pittsburgh, and the Mountain Hawks are at No. 6 in the College Insider.com Mid-Major Top 25.
Tough Slate For the Holidays
There won't be many games for Patriot League teams around Christmas and New Year's, but there will be some challenges. Seven teams are in action on Saturday, with five on the road including American at No. 15/21 Georgetown (MASN, Noon), Lafayette at No. 13/16 Minnesota (Big Ten Network, 7 p.m.), Bucknell at Princeton and Holy Cross at Harvard. The action picks back up on Dec. 28 when Bucknell visits Loyola University Maryland and Navy hosts Albany in matchups against teams in the College Insider.com Mid-Major top 25. The next day American is at No. 8/9 Kansas, Lafayette goes to Stanford, Army travels to Texas A & M and Holy Cross goes to Boston College. After the New Year, the final Saturday before Patriot League play is a challenging one for the top teams as Bucknell goes to No. 12 Missouri and Lehigh is at VCU.
Home Cooking
Patriot League teams are 27-6 on their home courts this year after wins by Lafayette and Bucknell this week. The Bison lead the way with a 5-0 mark at Sojka Pavilion, while Lehigh is perfect 4-0 at home and Holy Cross and Army are 3-0. Navy is up to 4-1 at Alumni Hall while Lafayette is 5-2 at Kirby Sports Center, with four dramatic victories each coming by three points or less or in overtime. Navy and Army will each host contests on Saturday.
Winning Against Regional Foes
Patriot League teams are a combined 50-41 overall in non-League play, and 46-27 against Division I foes outside of the "Big-Six" conferences. The record stands at 40-17 against regional conferences including the Atlantic 10, America East, CAA, Ivy League, MAAC, NEC and MEAC. Most of the mark has come against the NEC, with the Patriot League clinching the series as it holds a 17-7 advantage with two games left.
Lehigh's McCollum Breaking Records, Leading Division I in Scoring
Lehigh senior guard C.J. McCollum is at 24.9 points per game for the season, just ahead of Virginia Tech's Erick Green (24.8) for the top spot in Division I. McCollum has already set the Patriot League career scoring record this year, and his 2,323 points are now 99 ahead of the previous mark. McCollum now has Patriot League career records for field goals made, free throws made and double-figure scoring games.
Bucknell's Muscala a Double-Double Machine
Bucknell senior center Mike Muscala is averaging 18.8 points and 10.8 rebounds per game, ranking in the top 50 in scoring and 10th in rebounding in Division I. Muscala has seven double-doubles in the first 12 games for the Bison. He moved into second place in Patriot League history in both rebounds and blocked shots on Monday, and his 1,624 points stand 14th in League history and 31 away from a spot in the career top 10.

10 KW Solar PV System - Sun Power Panels
To demonstrate just how reliable and successful Sun First is in designing and installing solar systems, you can read a quote from a happy Marin resident below. If you are looking for quality Marin solar energy solutions or nearby San Francisco solar power design and installation services, you've come to the right company. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us today.
"Creating more energy than we use from our Sun First Solar photovoltaic system is extremely satisfying. We're helping the environment by creating clean energy, reducing our own need for fossil fuel and, in turn, helping to reduce our nation's dependence on foreign oil, and saving money each month in doing so. We installed our first Sun First PV system on our vacation home and were so happy with their service that we recently installed a second system on our main residence.
Sun First! compared favorably in the many bids we received, are locally owned and operated, have been in business for many years and were able to help us install the most advanced technology on the market today. Not to be overlooked, Sun First was sensitive to our aesthetic concerns and, in both installations, the panels are not able to be seen. Since the energy we make is used first by us and then by our closest utility users without clogging the energy grid, our dream is that others follow in our footsteps so that Marin County can become energy self- sustaining using the power of the sun to do so."

These mounding aloes will be covered in orange bloom spikes in a few months. They seem to do pretty well right alongside a high traffice area, holding up well to 8 year-olds on bicycles falling into them.

They do look very similar. This is low mounding, with very long leaves, so I'm suggesting spinosissima. Arborescens tends to get 5 feet tall around here.

The e-Learning team at Borders College believes that the Mozilla-led Open Badges ecosystem offers an opportunity to increase student engagement, retention and employability. In order to evaluate the long term potential of Open Badges within Borders College a number of pilots have been established. This case study investigates the ongoing work of the college in this field.
About the Institution
Borders College has campuses in Galashiels, Hawick and Newtown St Boswells in the Scottish Borders. It hosts Heriot-Watt University's School of Textile and Design and the Borders Business Programme, as well as offering courses ranging from landbased studies, sport to digital media.
The Challenge
The concept of Open Badges was launched in 2011 through the Digital Media and Learning (DML) Competition, which provided funding for projects to investigate and research the possibilities of an open, standards-based, rewards and recognition framework using digital badges. Being open, the framework means, anyone can issue badges for whatever they wish to accredit and the standard stipulates certain data is 'baked' into the badge detailing the issuing body, why it was awarded, to whom. Members of the Borders College e-Learning team were introduced to Open Badges at the Jisc RSC Scotland conference in June 2012, and were keen to investigate further. Given that many students leave college with more skills than are detailed on their official transcript and that it can be challenging to demonstrate these additional skills to employers, the e-Learning team believed Open Badges could provide a useful framework for addressing these gaps.
The Activity
The creation of badges followed the guidelines provided by Mozilla in relation to Open Badge Design (i.e. image size, criteria creation, necessary coding etc – see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Badges/Onboarding-Issuer). The original idea for embedding Open Badges within the college was intended to be through collaboration with DigitalMe and their Supporter2Reporter (S2R) project. The S2R project would have offered students studying sport and exercise an opportunity to participate in Sports Journalism as an alternative to standard Communication Units, which they are required to achieve as part of their course. Historically, attendance and completion of Communication Units within the Sport and Exercise courses has been poor as the students often struggle to see the relevance to their specific discipline. On completion of the S2R modules the students would have been awarded their first Open Badges. The e-Learning team created links with, and generated a lot of interest from, radio stations, the local press and national sport organizations, who were all keen to endorse the S2R pilot and badges. Unfortunately the S2R pilot was delayed to give more time to mapping all Communication Unit outcomes with current SQA requirements but outcomes have now been appropriately mapped and all relevant parties within the college have provided their support to the project. Therefore, the college plans to implement S2R in academic year 2013/14.
In the meantime, the e-Learning team has been introducing Open Badges to students and staff directly by creating and awarding Moodle Badge. A pilot was initiated with two student groups – NC Digital Media and NVQ Hairdressing level 1. After explaining the process to the course tutors, the idea was presented to the students and their role in the pilot clarified. There are three badge levels available (Bronze, Silver and Gold Moodle User) allowing students to be awarded their first Open Badges for best practice in Moodle use (i.e. creating a suitable profile statement and adding an appropriate photo). A higher level of badge (Platinum) is available to both staff and students who are believed to show outstanding contributions within Moodle or best practice in the use of technology in the classroom.
All those awarded with a badge will be able to display them within Moodle as well as having the opportunity to show them in Facebook, LinkedIn and within the Mozilla badge backpack (an online portfolio where Open Badges are stored). One of the anticipated outcomes of the pilot is improved digital literacy amongst the students, as well as increased retention by emphasizing the value of Moodle as a learning resource.
One of the potentially more radical elements of the pilot, is that students have also been given the opportunity to vote for the lecturer they believe displays the best use of Moodle across their course. Students can do this via a newly created block in Moodle. The intended outcome of this aspect of the project is that lecturing staff will also receive recognition for the time and effort they invest in using Moodle, which will hopefully encourage an increased use of innovative techniques with Moodle.
The e-Learning team can identify which students have achieved the defined criteria for a badge through running reports in Moodle. Every action taken by a Moodle user can be tracked and reports allow certain data to be pulled out and analysed. These reports are used to award the appropriate badge.
The final task of the project to embed Open Badges at Borders College has been to get staff on board with the idea. In order to do this the e-Learning team worked with HR to offer an Open Badge as either an accompaniment or alternative to existing paper certificates issued upon completion of all CPD events. The first of these badges will be awarded to staff in June 2013.
The Outcomes
The greatest challenge the e-Learning team faced when trying to introduce Open Badges to the College was overcoming concerns relating to additional workload for lecturing staff as well as the true value of an Open Badge.
The e-Learning team navigated this challenge in two ways – by developing automated Moodle reports, which could easily be checked to see who should be awarded the in-house Moodle badges and by introducing Open Badges for staff in recognition of their CPD, to try to give staff a personal example of their potential. The team anticipates that they will need to provide ongoing support to lecturing staff in introducing Open Badges to the curriculum and to facilitate open badge design workshops – such workshops will allow lecturing staff to define the kind of badges they would like to see introduced to recognise attributes in students.
Given the pilot is still underway, it is difficult to assess the impact of the project on staff and students yet. It is hoped that it will lead to increased retention, motivation and employability for students. The application of Open Badges will also hopefully be recognised as beneficial to staff in terms of professional reputation and encourage innovation in teaching practice and increased use of Moodle as standard.
One subject area has been identified to commence the first curricular Open Badges in August 2013. Borders College hope to be the first college in Scotland to integrate Open Badges within their learning provision and that their experiences will not only encourage other institutions to get involved but also provide a resource to support others in their Open Badge journey.
Lessons Learned
If starting the process again the e-Learning team believes it would have been beneficial to gain full support from faculty heads prior to initiating work with DigitalMe for the S2R pilot. With full buy-in from the outset it would have been easier to introduce the concept earlier on in the academic year. Time invested in 'selling' the idea of Open Badges and truly convincing all staff of their value is paramount if badges are to succeed in FE. It's also worth spending time on the actual design of the badge image as this will play a part in creating a sound College-issued badge brand.

Cowboys | Darren McFadden story revised
Wed, 29 Jun 2016 09:38:32 -0700
Updating previous reports, Dallas Cowboys RB Darren McFadden (elbow) said he was injured in a slightly different way than the team, who said McFadden was injured trying to save his cellphone, released to the public. McFadden said his phone was in his hand, but he slipped down and fell on the elbow. He said he still has a few weeks in a brace after June 14 surgery, and it's possible he could miss the season opener.
Fantasy Tip: Ezekiel Elliott has a golden opportunity in training camp and only has Alfred Morris to stave off. Morris has very meager RB4 or RB5 value in fantasy. Elliott has drawn rave reviews, but taking him as anything more than an RB2 is a risk. McFadden seems to have the upper hand over Morris because he's a better receiver than the former Redskin, but McFadden is an RB4 in fantasy.

Cowboys | Ezekiel Elliott could see big workload
Tue, 28 Jun 2016 12:28:43 -0700
Dallas Cowboys rookie RB Ezekiel Elliott could receive 280 to 300 carries in his rookie season, in the opinion of David Helman of dallascowboys.com.
Fantasy Tip: There is much expected of the highly touted rookie. He should be the primary ball-carrier for Dallas as long as he's healthy. Elliott has a steep price so far in fantasy drafts, though, so don't take him too early even though he could finish as an RB1.

Cowboys | Tony Romo throwing well
Thu, 16 Jun 2016 13:08:08 -0700
Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (collarbone) said he's throwing as well as he ever has as he continues to recover from a broken collarbone and subsequent offseason surgery. He and the Cowboys will go over his schedule in training camp, and he may continue to take Wednesdays off depending on how his throwing feels each day. Romo did acknowledge that he can't ignore his injury history.
Fantasy Tip: Romo is one of the riskier fantasy quarterbacks year in and year out because of his extensive injury history. He has QB1 upside, but staying on the field isn't a guarantee. If he's full-go before the season starts then he should be drafted as a low-end QB1 to high-end QB2.

Cowboys | Dez Bryant will be ready for camp
Wed, 15 Jun 2016 17:19:48 -0700
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (foot) said he will be ready for the start of training camp. Bryant said he plans to work out with QB Tony Romo in the near future.
Fantasy Tip: Bryant has been limited during offseason workouts but appears to be on track for the start of training camp. He is one of the top receivers in the NFL when he is healthy and should be selected in one of the first few rounds of all drafts.

Cowboys | Ezekiel Elliott pushed into starting role
Wed, 15 Jun 2016 11:23:43 -0700
Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott took all the first-team repetitions in practice Tuesday, June 14, with RB Darren McFadden (elbow) out with a fractured elbow for two months. Elliott will remain the starting running back for all intents and purposes. "I think it's going to be real big for him, really beneficial, because now he's forced to go in and do it," running backs coach Gary Brown said of Elliott getting more first-team snaps. "He's forced to go in there to perform and perform at a high level. He can't rest on his leader maybe helping him a little bit. He has to rest on himself. So it's going to be a good thing." Offensive coordinator Scott Linehan called Elliott "a full-package running back."
Fantasy Tip: The sky is the limit for the rookie. He was expected to see the majority of touches anyway with McFadden in the picture, but his timeline for a heavy dose of action has now been accelerated. Good luck landing Elliott as your RB1 anywhere past the end of the first round in fantasy drafts this fall.

Cowboys | Darren McFadden hurt in home accident
Tue, 14 Jun 2016 09:33:20 -0700
Updating an earlier report, Dallas Cowboys RB Darren McFadden (elbow) required surgery on a broken elbow after he was injured in an accident at home. McFadden is expected to miss two months and be ready by the end of training camp.
Fantasy Tip: The stage appears to be set for Ezekiel Elliott to take the bull by the horns. Alfred Morris should return into the picture as well. McFadden trumps Morris because he's a better receiver, but one has to wonder the value of having all three on the same team. Elliott is a high-end RB3 that will probably start sneaking into RB2 territory. McFadden, if he can return in time to have something resembling a training camp, is an RB4. Morris' value is tricky with the other two in the backfield, but he's an RB5 flyer.

Cowboys | Darren McFadden undergoes surgery
Tue, 14 Jun 2016 09:20:29 -0700
Dallas Cowboys RB Darren McFadden (elbow) underwent surgery on his elbow Tuesday, June 14, and is expected back in time for the season opener, according to head coach Jason Garrett.
Fantasy Tip: Missing training camp could be bad for his usage. It gives rookie Ezekiel Elliott an entire camp to lead the way. He has a ton of hype already, and if he has a good camp, McFadden could be left with table scraps. The perfect-world scenario is a 50-50 split between the two, but McFadden may fall into the RB4 mix if he misses a big portion of camp.

Cowboys | Dez Bryant limited in camp
Tue, 14 Jun 2016 08:54:05 -0700
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (foot) will not be a full participant in minicamp this week, and he'll mostly work on the side.
Fantasy Tip: Bryant should be ready for the season, but it's tough to take him as one of the first receivers off the board until he proves he's 100% from his broken foot. Bryant could fall to the midrange of the WR1 pack, where he'll present a nice value if he's healthy.

One can't speak of Oregon baseball without mentioning Mel Krause. A three-time letterwinner in baseball and two-time 'O' recipient in basketball from 1948-51, Krause left his mark on Oregon athletics history as head baseball coach from 1970-1980. He compiled a 202-199 record, including two Northern Division co-championships in 1972 and 1974 when the Ducks posted records of 24-13 and 26-19.
A standout player in his own right, Krause played professionally from 1954-1961 with the Salem Senators and Eugene Emeralds, and later scouted for three different major league teams. He also coached baseball and basketball at the school level in Portland and Eugene, where his teams won many championships.
