"It never ends!..."
Tai Kim always gives me that wonderful valediction after I pick up the ice cream every morning from Scoops on Heliotrope. The creator of all Scoops ice cream knows the daily routine of making dozens of gallons of ice cream, with a continually changing selection of flavors that spans hundreds of combinations. His final words also remind me that the grind of working in the food business never really does end. There are always new customers to reach out to, repeat clients who keep your business afloat, and old friends who stick around and make every day worth it.
I remember that feeling of staring at the clock every afternoon, waiting for it to hit 6PM so that I could shut down my computer and head out to that evening's culinary exploration. Instead I fall into the modern restaurateur or food business person's routine: receive deliveries from purveyors (or in my case, pick up the goods), check important emails, balance the books, post comments on social networks to pique customers' interest, review various blogs and review sites for mentions, tidy the shop, put out the chairs, turn on the lights.
Then business starts and you're surprised that anyone even shows up, let alone at 12PM. People need their ice cream fix. If they didn't I wouldn't be in business. I generally make myself a cup of Intelligentsia pourover coffee at this time, when I hit a slight lull. Generally only the diehard fans come right when I open (I've had a customer wait in the parking lot for me to open). As the afternoon moves on, I'll have some of my close friends who work in Century City or West L.A. swing by after lunch and hang out for a bit before going back to work.
Then I'll get a rundown of food writer friends who come for coffee, tea, and a nibble of ice cream (most of the time they're full from eating a big lunch). I encourage them to take out their laptop and tap out a blog post or article. But most of the time we just catch up on the daily restaurant gossip around town, like school kids (or better yet, like those cool guys at the barber shop).
There are countless times during the day when I have to explain the concept to people that show up. "You don't have yogurt?" "Is this gelato?" "Are you guys going to get more flavors?" Are probably the three most common questions I get while I dole out samples to people. The people who insist on getting yogurt become slightly peeved and walk out. Good riddance. There are plenty of Yogurtlands for them (actually there's one just down the street on Overland). The fad will fade. People need to realize that there's nothing special about frozen yogurt - it's neither healthy nor particularly flavorful. Sure I enjoy a few swirls now and then but seriously - it's quasi-healthful soft serve with a slight tang.
The second question is a bit more interesting to me. Most people who insist on getting gelato have no idea what real gelato is. If I start talking about low overrun and the varying composition of gelato versus ice cream, people look puzzled. So I stop and just tell them that this is good ol' ice cream, that old fashioned treat of Haagen Daas and Baskin-Robbins fame, but with a new twist - more innovative flavors and a bit of a lighter composition. I understand at this point that having an educated conversation about ice cream with most customers isn't going to be worth it - just give them a taste and let their palates convince them. Thankfully, most of them are, because this ice cream is some of the best stuff on earth.
Let me say this as objectively as I can. Even though I don't make the ice cream, I know almost every step of the process - certainly better than most people. I worked at the Scoops on Heliotrope for six months before opening the Westside location. I also went to a number of top ice cream shops around L.A. and San Francisco and Scoops definitely holds its own. The texture and creaminess is somewhat unfamiliar to a lot of people. Since most of us consume ice cream that's been kept for some time in the freezer, it means that we're used to eating a gummier, heavier, thicker, firmer ice cream that's often filled with stabilizers. Not that all stabilizers are bad - they can improve the texture of an ice cream that would otherwise get icy. Some stabilizers are even "natural" ingredients. Yet we don't use any at Scoops. Which leads us to the third most-asked question: why don't you guys have more flavors?
Well I'll preface this by saying that when the weather gets warmer, we do intend to expand Scoops Westside's daily selection of flavors. However, I don't see the need. If we have a smaller, edited selection, then we can have quicker turnover of the daily batches we get and therefore have fresher ice cream. Because we don't use any stabilizers in our ice cream, the stuff doesn't last much longer than a couple of days in the freezer, even in the reduced temperature of the freezer we have here at the store.
Enough worry about the questions people have about the store. There's been enough said about the sterile looking decor, which is so white and blindingly bright that I feel like I'm in an asylum, but without the plush walls. I'm remedying this problem this weekend, with the contractor coming out to smooth out the walls and paint it a lovely color. We have a new artist planned to put her pieces on the wall, with a big bigger scale than the one we started with. And my electrician is scheduled to come later today to talk about some track lighting, which should make the light more flattering. And there's the question of signage - the stuff is expensive and involves a lot of decisions. I'm trying to figure out exactly what I want right now, but I kind of like the underground, low-budget look - it makes us seem less corporate.
What really reminds me of why I got into this business are those quiet and loud moments that are spread out during the day. When I see two mothers and their two newborns sitting at the small table that was once my family's breakfast nook (it's going back home after I replace it), chatting away and catching up with their lives. It's when I see a middle-aged father and his young son hanging out after school, enjoying some new flavors. It's the group of four college students who linger over a few cups of coffee and browse the various magazines I've set out on the tables. It's when I get the sense that Scoops Westside has captured the original intent of Scoops on Heliotrope - a hangout place that's comfortable and affordable. Despite the initial struggles, it's only been the first month and we've done very well already. People thought I was crazy for opening in the middle of winter. Well, it can only get better as the weather gets warmer. I can see the sun poking out now after almost a straight week of torrential rain. What a relief.

How Would You Like To Be Assessed?
Posted 07 April 2004 - 05:20 PM
1) If you could choose the way in which you demonstrated your ability as a history student, how would you do it?
2) What are your thoughts about coursework?
3) Does the current system of examinations at the end of a course work? If not, what would you like to see instead?
NB: The views of pupils are being taken very seriously by the people who make the decisions, and they will be made aware of anything that is suggested on here.
Posted 17 April 2004 - 10:53 AM
how does source A compare to sources C & D
it gets repetative and this causes bordom and thus uncreative students who want to get the exam over with just my two cents there
Posted 17 April 2004 - 11:00 AM
Posted 26 April 2004 - 12:51 PM
I feel coursework is important and a good way of showing the students knowledge of the historical facts and events which happened within a period of time. It also breaks up the total percentage of your grade, so your grade isn't just dependant on the exam. Many people including myself like the break-up of coursework and exams.
Posted 27 April 2004 - 01:45 PM
I think examinations as they are at the moment are a good way of demonstrating ability but i also feel that coursework is something that should go along side that for every exam board because that gives everyone who takes history gcse,a level, an equal chance and it is fair that we would have all gone through the same procedure...
2) What are your thoughts about coursework?
I think coursework is a brilliant thing because it allows you, most of the time, to study another period for a short amount of time that won't be tested in exam conditions... It also takes a little bit of pressure of of the student... i alsdo don't think that there should be such a stress of importance on the use of computers for the coursework... as anti-alex said- not all students have access to a computer at all...
3) Does the current system of examinations at the end of a course work? If not, what would you like to see instead?
I think that the exams should be taken throughout the year and not at the end because then it give students time to concentrate on their revision and specific topic and get the best grades possible... by cramming it all in at the end of the year, i feel it adds too much pressure.... The Time limits could be longer too...
Posted 27 April 2004 - 08:22 PM
How about something other than exams and coursework?
- Learning diaries
- Presentations
- Oral assessments based on participation in debates
- Personal studies at KS4
- Creation of tour guides for sites / museums
- Use of multimedia applications to create posters, presentations, web sites, newspaper articles based on a historical theme
- Assessment of involvement in chat rooms, online forums etc
What about the importance of self evaluation? At Key Stage 3 it is a significant part of the way that many teachers assess pupils.
Posted 03 May 2004 - 11:29 AM
Learning diaries & Presentations are only useful to the extent of revision. If a certain group of pupils in the class are told to present, for example, one element of the liberal social reforms of 1906 - 1914, afterwards in the exam, they will feel at ease when writing about that topic.
Oral assessments based on participation in debates - I think this is good, but only to some extent. When I myself was taught History in year 11, i was shy and did not like reading out at all. 2 years on, i want to be a teacher which will involve talking in front of large audiences. If children are shy then they would be peanalised for it with this type of assessment. (Iam assuming here that the methods of assessment would ultimately account for some part of the final grade awarded)
Personal studies at KS4 - i.e. Coursework is a good way of testing pupils' understanding of topics. Especially in a subject like History, pupils can go away, read different historians' interpretations of events and be more the wiser. I feel at the moment though, at GCSE level, the amount of work put in to coursework does not reflect the proportion of the GCSE grade it accounts for.
Creation of tour guides for sites / museums - Great to enhance learning, not all schools can afford this though.
Use of multimedia applications to create posters, presentations, web sites, newspaper articles based on a historical theme - This is by far the best way to teach History. The resources on this website are very high quality and often sum up a topic for a pupil without the need for them doing it themselves. For example, when Nazi History is taught 1933 - 1939, there are various elements that are emphasised but if the pupil was to get an examination question after saying "Was the sole reason for Hitler's maintenance of power during the period 1933 - 1939 due to terror", often they would write down everything they know. Presentations sum up the required knowledge and are illustrated in concise bitesize chunks which are a radical step into the future of History.
Assessment of involvement in chat rooms, online forums - It can be seen from all the posts i have posted that i deem forums to be 'the next best thing since sliced bread" (Although I am a biased source )
Lectures is another area where pupils' intake of knowledge can be easily scripted and therefore digested with more ease. Certainly, if two historians argue the case for a given theme then pupils enjoy and often benefit. I have been to two particular good lectures whereby there were 2 historians arguing, the first was about the case for/against appeasement and the other was about "Was there a constitutional crisis 1911? Yes/No"
In conclusion (almost sounds as if im ending an essay) I think that elements from Mr Moorhouse's list should be 'the way forward' for history, particularly with the new technology available to us and others should be taken with caution. Certainly i hope the assessments we have in Britain, in the form of examinations never cease.
Thanks, Manpreet

Debates, although not my favourite but within my class at the moment we have done a few. It brings together everybodys opinions and interpetations together with experiencing an event like a UN meeting or when the meeting of the Treaty of Versailles was being discussed.
Posted 06 May 2004 - 02:21 PM
The use of multimedia does sound very appealing and it could possibly make the courses 'modern'.
There is one thing that bothers me though....if your finalgrade isn't going to depend majorly on the exams and more so on 'classwork' then wouldn't it e unfair to those who have done say 100% examination in the past to have an A/A* grade and thrn somebody who has an A* mainly composed of coursework/classwork? Because as we all know, coursework can be tweaked again and again if need be whereas exams are a 'one shot'...
does anyone else have any thoughts on this? it is something that has en in my mind when studying this year because ome schools do coursework whichwill oost their exam grade up whereas otheers have to depend totally on exams to get the desired grade...
Posted 06 May 2004 - 06:08 PM
i don't think that oral iscussion should be used as part of your final grade because some people are simply better at formulating answers on paper than they are perhaps in speaking.
Surely the opposite then follows? Some people are much better at expressing their ability verbally and ought to be offered a way of doing this.
Because as we all know, coursework can be tweaked again and again if need be whereas exams are a 'one shot'
I'd like to make it clear that there is a MASSIVE difference between Coursework and 'Teacher assessment'. The latter enables the teacher to set tasks suited to the group or individual and establish a level at which a student consistently performs at. This covers all of the major historical skills and allows students flexibility in their learning, caters for all learning preferences (if delivered correctly) and ensures that students are rewarded for clarity and quality of thought over a sustained period of time rather than in one afternoon. Coursework on the other hand is something that is predetermined, isn't all that flexible in terms of the way that it can be adapted to individuals strengths and is, as you say, susceptible to 'cheats'.
Learning diaries & Presentations are only useful to the extent of revision
In the current exams system, perhaps. The proposed curriculum changes include both of these as potential areas that could be formally assessed as part of the examinations procedure.
Any thoughts?
Posted 24 May 2004 - 08:12 PM
basically i think that A-levels should be a 3year course say yr11, 12 and 13 and that you should take ur AS-levels in the january of yr12
this would spread out the exams so that there would no longer be such a bulk of exams to mark in the summer and allow greater freedom etc during the course because you'd have a yr and a half to do each set of modules
lets face it, yr7-9 are a waste of time and if you did your "GCSEs" in yr 9 and 10 there would less of an inclination to do nothing for the first few years of secondary school
Posted 01 July 2004 - 12:18 PM
Obviously i think exams are important in seeing how well one can write under pressure, in a timed condition, with no idea of the question but i think more emphasis should be put on the coursework as this would not only be a better way of assessing a students capablities but will take the pressure of at exam time. Of course there may be a concern that some teachers ( obviuosly only a minority!!) might help their students more then they should which would lead to an unfair advantage to some schools but i'm sure this could be overcome perhaps with outside moderation or some other safeguards in place that would stop this happening.
Posted 04 August 2004 - 08:25 PM
On a more ontopic side, I simply love when teachers have a great rapport with students through questions. If you teach something, asking questions from that something the following lesson helps more than one can imagine. It sounds pretty basic but that's what helps me a lot. I had three teachers in the past...two asked questions and set practical tasks - not only were their lessons AMAZING, but I found out that on the exam day I did not even have to revise their topics much.
Everything was in my brain already, and when I had a revision session with my friend I knew every answer to every question he asked me.
On the other hand, the teacher who never asked us questions and simply handed sheets was good too (in a different way) but not nearly as successful. The lessons were not as fun, there were difficulties and I only memorised everything the way I wanted to by making detailed plans for every lesson and going through them a few times at home. It was much more stressful since I take in information best during the school timetable.
I also recommend courtroom dramas. You can simulate a courtroom drama for any historical topic be it an actual case like Plessy vs Ferguson or just pretending to be Martin Luther in front of the Council and trying to get the emperor to join the Reformation. Sometimes our teacher filmed us, and we did our best because we knew he'd show it to other classes. That way we prepared (and learned in the process) and we collaborated.
I personally do not find self-assessment that useful. It works for some mistakes and errors but for example, if a pupil has a structure problem and cannot master the argument-evidence-argument essay "skeleton" it is hard for him/her to get better just by self-assessment. I think it's just a matter of opinion here...but from experience, teacher help always worked best over self-assessment or being graded by a peer (especially if he's not interested in the subject and talking about ANYTHING but history *Sigh*. Yeah that's how it usually is LOL.)
When I did something I suppose could be labeled as work experience as a teacher, I actually had the opportunity to assist for a whole school year on top of my classes. One tactic me and the teacher employed was actually being both strict and indulgent at the same time. What I mean by that is yes, by all means have a trip to the country/place relevant to your topic but instead of making it an all-year activity you could try something else. What we did was set a grade-pass...anyone with a B or above on a certain test could go, anyone with a C or below missed the opportunity. They were small trips, but interesting enough...we did them periodically and by the end of the year out of 29 pupils, 27 got B and above...a great improvement from the Ds and Cs from the start! I'm not sure if it'd work here in England but if it's okay, then yup I suggest that.
I'll let you know if I can think of anything else. My brain is pretty fried from the heat right now.
Posted 01 December 2004 - 06:08 PM
They dont often give us are national curiculum levels on course work they just mark hig low or medium. I think we should get levels more often so we can see is we are getting better compared to sats and other coursework.
we also done this in my junior school and it was great fun!!
I also recommend courtroom dramas. You can simulate a courtroom drama for any historical topic be it an actual case like Plessy vs Ferguson or just pretending to be Martin Luther in front of the Council and trying to get the emperor to join the Reformation.

CHAR-KOOSTA »UMISHED BV CONFEDERATED SAIISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBES. FLATHEAD AGENCY. MONT. y0] 4 — No. 4 June-July, 1960 William Walter McDonald St. Ignatius, Mont. The above picture at left was taken many years ago of our last official Chief, Martin Charlo. Chief Martin Charlo, son of the famous Chief (Victor) Charlo, along with Chief Eneas Koas tah-tah of the Kootenais were recognized as principle Chiefs and their names were included in the Constitution of the Confederated Salish-Krotenai Tribes of the Flathead Re-organization Act. When these two Chiefs passed on their honor went with them. The picture at right is Chief Paul Charlo, honorary Chief of the Salish, who passed away a few years ago. Paul was a picturesque man who took an active part in Indian programs. Indian Students Apply For Summer Jobs By Walter W. McDonald The following named stpdents have ap-• lie-' for summer jobs: College and higher education enrollees, having graduated from High School: Kathryn Paul, Tribal Office; LeRoy Purland, Roads Division; Terrence Bag-nell. Realty; Carolyn Quaring, Public Health, St. Ignatius; Julie Clairmont, Forestry; Sharon McDonald, Land - Leasing; Gloria Christopher, HM; Mary Lou moni,, Forestry; Kenny Trickey, Fores-McClure, Land-Leasing; Steve Clair try.. Applicants for jobs who will be seniors in 1060 and 61: Carole Charlo. Homer Courville, Shirty Mcleod, Karen Howlett, Virginia ryant. Daniel Swaney, Eugene Burland, Ronald McCrea, Rusty McClure, Laur- raine Whitworth, Joyce Tapia, Linda Couture, Dianna Hernandez, Geraldine Andrews, Daniel W. Barber. The first six seniors hired were based on naed. Those who will be Juniors :n 1960 and 61: Carol Clairmont, Louise Bigcrane, Jerri Roullier, Janet K. St. Germaine. In aM respects the high school graduates h?.ve the preference because of going into higher education and in a few cases word was received that some students may have summer work. The disappointing factor is we do not have room for all trainees who apply nor do we have the money and the program is trotting larger every year. About five years ago the Council felt there was a need to acquaint our young students with office work, etc., in order that they may go out and compete with our neighbors on jobs, with the cooperation of the Tribal Councilmen and the officials at the Agency we were able to carry on this Training Program. We now have Miss Dianne Bagnell who has just been graduated from Stevens-ville High School to be added to the list of those going into higher education. This brings the number to eleven going to college and different branches of education. However, there are more 1960 graduates who have not regisistered with us who will further their education. These young people are superivsed by different branches of the Agency office. Mr. Ed Faulkner, Haskell graduate in business training and Chief disbursing officer at Flathead, is going all out to have his staff give weekly progress reports on the trainees in order that a more clear understanding may be reached in helping these trainees to reach their goal. We take off our hats to the Agency staff for helping make this program possible.

Seems to me that Rodgers is content on drawing games, that could've and should've been wins..
This is the side of Rodgers I dislike he doesn't seem to have it in him to get the team motivated enough to go out and crush teams no matter who they are..
He needs to get us dominating from the kick off, and keep it going until the final whistle. Have we the players to do it is also another bone of contention?

You mean like Norwich a couple of weeks ago?
Thanks Armchair lets keep this thread nice and high and see how it goes.
To me it seems you're blaming and criticising a manager, who's only been in place for 6 months for taking a squad that was only good enough for 8th and probably worse had the season been longer. He's not had anywhere near the funds required to take an 8th or worse placed team and elevate them to PL champions and what's worse is you've only given him 6 months to do it!
Get real sunshine.
I'm fully expecting you to now come back and blame FSG for not giving Rodgers a transfer kitty of £1 billion. But as I said this thread will be cyclic. Lose a game you'll be screaming for heads to roll. I honestly hope that we can keep this thread high enough and at the same time win the PL with Rodgers and FSG. Suck eggs woul dbe my repost!

When we draw is reasonable? I'd be much happier if we won.. than settle yet again for a draw..
I'm tempted to try and keep this thread at the top of our little board as a reminder to everyone how things fluctuate. Losing to Oldham was bad, it was a bad day at the office but two reasonable results at Arsenal and City and it's a little more rosey it seems.
Oh what fun

I see, so after clarification I see you think you're being as clear as mud, and offering a consistent argument. I'll leave aside the fact an argument that needs clarification in order to make it consistent really can't be consistent in its original form otherwise why would it need clarifying?
But let's just focus on what you've actually said (to clarify your argument) and see if that makes any more sense. Unfortunately for me, in terms of being a logical argument I think it still does not stand up.
Why players like Henderson who has succeeded elsewhere and at junior International level need extra time, but Borini doesn't, even though he was successful in Italy and also has both junior and senior level international experience with Italy, is again just not consistent.
The next thrust from you is that "anyone who's watched football" must agree with you either suggests those who don't agree with you don't watch football, or maybe just are not watching it in the right way? I'm not sure which, and rather than start some competition of who has played more, or at a higher level or who watches more than the other, let me just say I do have a keen interest in football, and I'm sure you do also, and leave it at that.
But that is really what it comes down to; all we're talking about is your opinion. Whether you think it's a more educated opinion than others because of your years of playing in the Sunday league, or the years watching live or on the box, end of the day it's just an opinion. And, I'd submit since those paid to make such judgments are not perfect, I find it very hard to understand why someone like you can tell me definitively that someone is not good enough with so little evidence.
Now of course you could be correct (a broken clock is right twice a day!) and maybe Borini does not make it. Maybe I should bow down to your wisdom as you tell me you never were critical of Lucas, but then again I'm not sure I remember you defend the lad either, so whose to know whether your hindsight is really as good as your foresight.
For me I'll give Borini and BR's recruits some time to settle and then judge, as I did with Henderson and others. Some will work out, some won't, but I'll take those who think they know all, with a healthy pinch of salt, that is unless it's been 12 hours since that broken clock was last telling the right time!
Dave, the arguement is consistent but to put it in simpler terms,
Player A's (Apples) need time for judgement ie Henderson and Downing because they were proven to be good players elsewhere before,Henderson has played at every level for England and is U21 Captain and Downing was Villa's player of the year the year we bought him hence they don't become shyte overnight!
Player B, (Oranges) Players you don't need to give 18 months to assess because you can tell after a month ! Borini fall's straight away into the Vorinin category, i.e. anyone whose watched football can see he's not gonna be anywhere near Sturridge, this is a guy who since signing a full time contract with Chelsea has scored 15 goals in 5 years !
With regards Lucas I never criticised him because again came to us as an attacking midfielder and U21 Brazillian captain, Rafa changed his game to a defensive midfielder and now he's the reason we are showing consistency again now he's back.

Hi PS, do you have a link or anything as it sounds like an interesting interview. I'm sure he spent much of it defending his work as one would expect, however there is always two sides to these things.

Colin, I never said you were critical of Lucas, I merely pointed out that many on this board, and in phone ins etc. were, but as the post was not directed at you, as I clearly stated, I'm not sure why you'd get your back up on this one.
Again, and it's really a simple point, if you make an argument it should at least be consistent. In your case you are being consistent, you think you can see if a player is the business in a very short period of time, and if he's not you think it's best to be rid of him.
Fair enough while I disagree with you as I think there are many factors that are in play when a player first comes to a new club which do not allow you to see him full potential until he's had a chance to bed in, but I cannot fault your logic or consistency in argument.
However the person my post was directed to was not consistent. For one player he needs 18 months to see if quality can shine through, while the next less than half a season which included an extended period out of the squad due to injury seems to be plenty of time to make final judgment.
Hi Colin & Dave
I heard a really good interview with Damien Comolli on this subject.
He expained how the deal to signed Carroll worked (I can tell you more on that if your interested) and then went on to say that he totally refutes any suggestion of "failed" signings.
His point was - when signing young players - you have to accept that some will take longer to settle in and develop into top class players than others. He gave the examples of Henry & Pires at Arsenal, Bale & Modric at Spurs. It's all down to spotting the talent in the first place.
Time will tell whether DC or BR has a better track record at spotting that talent I guess.
dsteer...Dave this is not the first time I have posted thisstatement..find me a single post over the entire time Lucas has been on the books that I criticised the lad this throughout a paeriod where he too some terrible barracking onthis board...why didnt I lay into him like so many others....because I thought he was "the business"...end of. I happen to think like others on this board that BORINI hasnt got what ittakes to make it and Sturidge has...dont think where players are concerned there is a set time period within which they should all be evaluated ...why persist with someone u feel isnt ever going to make it ? Intuition sometimes tells u more than stats ever can.

It was actually to Never, but is really a simple point of making an argument that is consistent. When rating two players, player A and player B, if the argument you can't rate player A until an 18 month bedding in period is up, it's not really consistent to say after just a few months and a handful of games that player B can written off.
It's not a question of whether Borini is the business or not, it's a question of how and when is the fair and consistent way to assess him and his contribution. It's not as if we've not been down this path before on the board, or do I need to remind how woeful the judgments were of Lucas before he became such an essential member of the squad.

LOS ANGELES -- The Rose Bowl was Stanford's season-long goal. Playing Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl? That was Ben Gardner's career-long dream.
The Cardinal defensive end grew up in Mequon, Wis., but, as he is quick to note, was not offered a scholarship by his home-state school.
"I wanted to play for Wisconsin, and it obviously didn't happen," Gardner said Thursday. "I'm not going to say there are hard feelings. I'll just say that they are our opponent this week."
Then again, Stanford had no interest in Gardner until he was recommended late in the recruiting process by Harbaugh -- Jack Harbaugh.
The father of former Cardinal coach Jim Harbaugh lives in Mequon and urged his son to pursue Gardner, who had no major college scholarship offers after his senior season at Homestead High.
Four years later, Gardner is a leader of one of the best defenses in the nation, a two-time All-Pac-12 selection with 13 career sacks who hasn't forgotten where he came from -- or which teams overlooked him.
"He plays with a chip on his shoulder," Cardinal coach David Shaw said. "He likes the fact that he was an underrated player, and he uses that."
Gardner would be playing with a chip on his shoulder in the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) if not for Jack Harbaugh, a former pro and college coach.
Like many overlooked players, Gardner didn't attend any of the summer camps and scouting combines attended by college recruiters. Wisconsin offered him a roster spot as a walk-on but declined to use a scholarship on a prospect who wasn't considered fast enough to play linebacker or big enough to play defensive end.
As signing day approached in the winter of 2009, Gardner's only scholarship offer was from Northern Iowa. But his fortunes changed when Jack Harbaugh stopped by Homestead one day to visit the football coaches. Gardner introduced himself and arranged for Harbaugh to receive a copy of his highlight tape.
Harbaugh, who could not be reached for comment for this story, was impressed enough to tell Stanford about the overlooked dervish of a defensive lineman.
Once the Cardinal expressed interest, Gardner worked quickly to position himself for a scholarship should an offer be extended. He completed the school's lengthy application in a day-and-a-half and wrote three essays in a single night.
Then he waited.
"We liked him, but we weren't in love with what we saw," said assistant coach Lance Anderson, who was Stanford's recruiting coordinator at the time. "The way things worked out, we had a spot, and he was the best option."
One week before signing day in February 2009, Stanford offered Gardner its last available scholarship in a class that included linebacker Shayne Skov, tight end Zach Ertz and tailback Stepfan Taylor.
"I felt like I had to prove myself to the guys on the team," Gardner said. "I believed that eventually I could be an impact player, but I didn't expect to have as big a role early as I did."
Gardner spent the 2009 season playing end in the Cardinal's 4-3 alignment, but it wasn't the right fit.
The following spring, Stanford switched to a 3-4 alignment. Gardner moved to outside linebacker, but that didn't work, either.
Midway through spring practice, he switched back to end -- and found a home.
"There's a certain mentality to playing end, especially in a 3-4," he said. "You have to eat blocks, get your hands dirty and stick your head into double teams."
It was an ideal role for the 6-foot-4, 275-pound Gardner, whose instincts and determination more than made up for a lack of elite speed and size. He played sparingly in 2010 as a redshirt freshman, then earned a starting job as a sophomore.
"He's a quiet guy, mellow," Skov said. "But his famous quote was that when he first got here, he said he'd be a starter by the time he left."
Best known around campus for his mullet -- "It gives him a persona, and the ladies love it," Skov said -- Gardner has recorded 241/2 tackles for loss the past two seasons.
Both years, he was named second-team all-conference.
"The one thing that's so hard to measure with recruits is what they have in their heart," Anderson said. "Ben's versatile and he's competitive. He really wants to be a good football player. He turned out to be better than we thought."
Better than Wisconsin thought, too.

On Feb. 14, a snowplow driver in Beaver Creek noticed a damaged gate and one set of tire tracks leading up to it.
A license plate was found at the scene. The plate belonged to a rental car registered to a Florida man who owned property in the area.
Since the man owned property there, Beaver Creek officials decided not to press charges and handle it in house. The suspect is expected to pay for the damage.
On Feb. 16, a deputy was driving straight through an Edwards intersection where he was cut off by a car turning left from the opposite lane.
The officer stopped the 22-year-old driver, who said he was sorry. However, the man's driver license had been revoked for an alcohol offense. He was arrested for driving with a revoked license and for driving carelessly.
A deputy stopped a car in Avon for weaving on Interstate 70 on Feb. 23.
The officer smelled alcohol in the car and noticed the 32-year-old driver's eyes were bloodshot as he handed him a Mexican ID. The deputy saw what looked like a Texas driver's license in the man's wallet and asked to see it. The man pretended he didn't have it and shuffled credit cards in front of it until the deputy asked three more times. The Texas ID turned out to be fake.
The deputy then arrested the man for further investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol.
At the jail, the man vomited while waiting for a breath test. The vomit was red. The man said he had four vodka-cranberry cocktails. He was jailed for DUI, weaving, driving without a license and forgery.
• A deputy stopped a car for running a stop sign in Avon on Feb. 13. The 32-year-old driver didn't have a license. It had been canceled for an unpaid ticket. He was cited for driving without a valid license and failure to stop at a stop sign.
• A pair of rental skis were stolen from Beaver Creek Village on Feb. 14.
• Three pairs of skis and poles were stolen from a ski locker in Avon between October and January. The owner said the lock was cheap and was probably picked by the thief, as there were no signs of forced entry.
• On Feb. 15, Peruvian residents of an Eagle-Vail apartment discovered a Spanish insult spray-painted on their door. They told a deputy that Argentineans typically don't like Peruvians and the person responsible for the graffiti might be Argentinean. The paint was removed at a cost of $10 for supplies.
• In separate incidents, a snowboard and pair of child's skis went missing from a Beaver Creek rental shop on Feb. 16. The items are presumed stolen.
• The back windshield of a car parked on Bellflower Drive in Vail was broken between 1 and 6 a.m. on Feb. 17.
• A bike was stolen from the second-floor balcony of an apartment on U.S. Highway 6 in Eagle-Vail. The theft occurred between Feb. 15 and 17. There were two bikes on the balcony and the more expensive one - a Specialized Stump Jumper worth about $2,600 - was taken.

SACRAMENTO -- The Berkeley High girls basketball team fell behind 16-4 in the first quarter and never caught up in a 46-28 loss to Long Beach Poly on Friday in the California Interscholastic Federation Division I championship game at Sleep Train Arena.
Yet it was the second quarter that was on the mind of Berkeley coach Cheryl Draper after the game. The Yellowjackets (22-12) limited the Jackrabbits (30-5) to four points in the quarter, but Berkeley scored only three to trail 20-9 at halftime.
"Every time we play in a (state) championship game, we find it difficult to score in the second quarter," Draper said.
Berkeley kept Long Beach Poly to 20-percent shooting from the field in the first half, but shot only 13-percent itself and was 1 for 17 in the second quarter.
"I think in the first half they got into our heads," said Berkeley senior Rachel Howard.
Howard opened the second half's scoring with a 3-pointer to cut the Jackrabbits' lead to eight. But Poly's Arica Carter answered with a 3-pointer of her own, starting a 17-8 Jackrabbits run to end the quarter.
Long Beach Poly coach Carl Buggs, a 1973 Castlemont graduate, said his team's strategy was two-fold.
"One, to limit the penetration of Jaimonie (Welch-Coleman). But the main thing was to make it difficult for Howard to get touches," Buggs said. "She can take over the game."
Howard finished with a team-high 11 points, but scored six of those in the fourth quarter. Those six came in a row to narrow Long Beach Poly's lead to 41-28 with 4:04 remaining. But the Yellowjackets would not score again.
Long Beach Poly controlled the key defensively in the game. It had five blocks in the game, including three by 6-foot Jada Matthews.
"We knew that they would be protecting the paint," Draper said. "We just got caught up in the speed of the game."
Matthews led all scorers with 14 points, and also grabbed eight rebounds.
Long Beach Poly improved its state championship game record to 5-1.
Berkeley tied the game early at 2-2 on a basket by Breona Eskridge.
But two free throws by Long Beach Poly's Tania Lamb started a 14-4 run to end the quarter.

Why Obama Is Tough on Russia, Not on Putin
As President Barack Obama has pinned more of the blame on Russia for the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 and the ham-fisted handling of the crash site, it's been hard to shake the feeling that he wants to avoid harshly condemning Russian President Vladimir Putin personally in the process.
In a White House statement on Monday, for instance, Mr. Obama was blunt in his criticism of the Russian separatists within Ukraine whom the U.S. has all but accused of shooting down the plane.
And he sounded a tough note about the way Russia works with those separatists: "Russia has urged them on. Russia has trained them. We know that Russia has armed them with military equipment and weapons, including anti-aircraft weapons."
But his words were more measured when talking about Mr. Putin directly: "President Putin says that he supports a full and fair investigation. And I appreciate those words, but they have to be supported by actions." Mr. Obama's United Nations ambassador, Samantha Power, struck a tougher tone when speaking about Mr. Putin in a statement at the Security Council later in the day.
What might explain a different tone toward Mr. Putin personally than toward Russia generically? There are a couple of possibilities.
One, which U.S. officials have discussed privately, is the hope that Mr. Putin may have been so embarrassed by the Malaysia Airlines disaster and the behavior of Russian separatists in its aftermath that he will decide it's time to pull back from his support of those separatists and his broader program of intimidating Ukraine's government.
Put in the diplomatic vernacular of the moment, it may be that Mr. Putin is looking for an "exit ramp" from Ukraine.
Mr. Obama appears to have a tense but functioning personal relationship with the Russian leader; he talks frequently of their phone conversations. It may well be that he hopes he can persuade the Russian president onto that exit ramp, or at least avoid personalizing the conflict in such a way that Mr. Putin feels he would be humiliated by making the turn onto the ramp.
In addition, the simple fact is that the Obama administration needs Mr. Putin's cooperation in addressing some other messy world problems.
That's true in Syria, where Russian influence with the regime helped bring about an agreement to remove Syria's chemical weapons and might be needed for any broader resolution of the civil war there. It's also true in nuclear talks with Iran, where a united front is important among the U.S., Russia and the four other world powers attempting to negotiate limits on Iran's nuclear program. Securing a deal with Iran is a top administration priority in the next four months, the period for which negotiations were just extended.
Mr. Obama may well hope that he can get the best of both worlds: a Russian retreat in Ukraine and an intact working relationship with Mr. Putin. It's not clear, of course, exactly how long hope for both or either of those goals can hold out.
In this video, Washington Bureau Chief Jerry Seib discusses the U.S.'s options for punishing Russia:

Steamboat Springs' Howelson Hill Nordic ski course doesn't start easy, but that wasn't a problem for the Tiger boys, who swept the podium at Saturday's race.
It was the second race of a season that seems to be boding well for both teams - a surprise for the women, who have historically struggled to be at the top of the rankings but on Saturday topped mountains teams like Vail Mountain School, Aspen, Steamboat, Eagle Valley, Battle Mountain, Middle Park as well as Nederland, Lake County, Evergreen and Clear Creek.
With added depth from strong freshmen Ruthie Boyd and McKenna Ramsay, the girls have been able to tally more points toward the team total.
"Those two women are definitely the depth that the women's team has desperately needed," coach Bevan Frost said. "Hopefully, over the course of the rest of the season and next season, maybe we can get a women's team that is as strong as the men's team in terms of finishes."
Veteran Tiger Taeler McCrerey took first in the race by just .02 of a second with a time of 17:09.7. Katie Scruggs of Vail Mountain School skate-skied to a second-place finish while Sera Smith of Middle Park came in third.
On the boys' side, Summit's Jackson Hill (13:59.2), Henry Trowbridge (14:36.7) and Cameron Bobb (14:56.0) finished first, second and third, respectively.
"The Steamboat course is very hilly, so the start was pretty exciting because all the skiers kind of jumbled up in a big jam as they were going up the first really steep hill, Frost said. "Only the first people out of the starting gate really had a chance to win the race or do really well. As soon as you were fifth or sixth out of the gate, you were stuck in a crowd of people."
With top team finishes in both genders, the Summit High team is hoping for good things come state, which already has at least 10 boys and six girls qualified from the Tiger team.
"As a high school team, it doesn't get any better," Frost said.
From here, the team switches gears into classic skiing, starting with the Jan. 26 duathlon at Breckenridge's Gold Run Nordic Center. Racers ski a 2-3 km classic style course, have a timed transition and then complete a 2-3 km skate ski course.
Frost would like to see his cusp athletes bump into the top third of finishers who comprise state qualifiers. Still, he says he has a roster of elite high school Nordic athletes.
"Our last finishers are still in the top two-thirds of the field, so that's great to know that even the average Summit High skier is very much above the average skier among those we've competed against," the coach said. "The totality of our team is in the upper two-thirds of the competition."

Christmas tree shipment dumped in Austrian garden
Published: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 7:07 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 7:07 a.m.
VIENNA (AP) — An early seasonal delivery went badly wrong in Austria when a truck was involved in a crash and dumped 14 tons of Christmas trees in a resident's garden.
Police in Vorarlberg state, at Austria's western tip, say the accident happened Friday night as a truck with a trailer loaded with trees drove through the town of Hohenems.
The trailer hit a wall, tipped over and landed in the garden of a house. A police statement Saturday said that the fire service dispatched 30 people to recover the hundreds of fir trees.
A passenger in the truck was injured and taken to a local hospital.

One of th
e items on the list for 2013 for freeriders and downhill racers is the new Shimano Saint Group Set. Focused completely on the severity of mountain bike riding, the Saint is perfect for gravity riders.
Designed with extreme rides in mind, the Saint was improved to be a competitive tool on buying cialis the race course, thanks to pro racers, such as Gee Atherton and Aaron
Gwin, who helped Shimano designers and engineers enhance the ergonomics,
durability, rigidity, and braking power of the group set.
Featured by its 10-speed rear derailleur is a SHADOW RD, which offers a quieter drive train, significantly reduced chain dropping, and enhanced control. At its pully cage, there is a switch seting off a stabilizer that offsets the up-and-down chain momentum's powers in bumpy environments.

'Anything Goes' for Choupic krewe
Published: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 2:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 2:27 p.m.
The Krewe of Choupic is set to roll with 12 throwing floats at 11:30 a.m. Mardi Gras down La. 304 to Our Lady of Prompt Succor Catholic Church in Chackbay.
The 150-member krewe of men and women will roll with the theme "Anything Goes."
The krewe's royalty is kept secret from the Carnival club until the krewe's dance, usually held three days before the parade.
The dance was held Saturday at the Chackbay Fairgrounds on La. 304 in Choupic.
The krewe's royalty is King Daniel Morvant Sr. and Queen Mary Navarre.
This year's grand marshal is Michael Ordoyne.

Paul Tudor Jones and His 'Careless' Remarks About Women
A billionaire hedge-fund manager found himself embroiled in controversy this week not for his trades or pay checks but for his remarks on female traders.
Paul Tudor Jones, the head of Tudor Investment Corp., told an audience at the University of Virginia that he thinks it's difficult for mothers to be successful macro-traders if they have a baby, because of the potential for distraction.
Jones said in his experience having a child is a "killer" for any desire to trade, adding "as soon as that baby's lips touched that girl's bosom, forget it," while motioning to his chest, according to a video posted by the Washington Post.
He did note he is a father of four children, three of them girls, and called motherhood a "beautiful" experience, but questioned a woman's ability to pull away for traders. He said he didn't believe it was the case for managers and noted he felt similar concern about distractions for traders going through a divorce.
Jones is a well-known trader who founded the Robin Hood Foundation, which raises millions from Wall Street to fight poverty in New York, and who hosts a rather large display of Christmas lights at his home in Greenwich, Conn., though he typically avoids the spotlight like this.
In a statement, Jones walked back the "off-the cuff remarks," saying they were specific to "global macro traders, who are on-call 24/7."
"I believe that great success is possible in any field — from music to mathematics to macro trading — as long as a woman or man has the skill, passion, and repetitions to work through the inevitable life events that arise along the way," he added.
But the comments had already caught the social-media scene and blogosphere, where a debate on women in the workforce has recently been carried by Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg, who published a book on the topic this year that's currently No. 2 on the best-seller list, and former Lehman Brothers' CFO Erin Callan. Former Wall Street executive Sallie Krawcheck last week bought a women's networking group, 85 Broads, to "invest" in women, citing the ongoing debate.
Sheila Wellington, an executive-in-residence at NYU's Stern School of Business and former president of Catalyst, a women's leadership organization, said the debate has picked up this year and been interesting.
"Financial-services companies have made some strides and have recognized you simply can't write off the brains of 50% of the world's population," Wellington said, while adding Jones seemed to have "written off" that population.
Kate Warne, investment strategist at St. Louis-based Edward Jones, which manages $670 billion, said Tudor Jones' comments crossed her radar this week, but she didn't dwell on them.
"It's rude and inappropriate, but beyond that it doesn't have much of an impact on me," she said in an interview with MoneyBeat. "We all shrugged and moved on."
That wasn't exactly the reaction on Twitter, where his comments were enough to garner his three names a hashtag, and was the talk of the business news for much of the day.
Abigail Doolittle, a technical strategist at The Seaport Group, a boutique investment bank in New York, described Tudor Jones' comments as "unfortunate and careless," but, she personally wasn't offended by them.
"Being a good trader doesn't have anything to do about being a man or being a woman," she said."It's about going after a good opportunity, being aggressive, objective and having killer instinct. Irrespective of gender, someone who has those qualities and is driven by the thrill of the whole thing will succeed. That's all that matters."
Stephanie Ruhle, a former managing director at Deutsche Bank overseeing hedge fund clients and now anchor on Bloomberg Television, Tweeted:
I am so disappointed over Paul Tudor Jones' comments on women,but I'm too busy knitting baby booties to articulate my thoughts @bloombergtv
— Stephanie Ruhle (@SRuhle) May 24, 2013
And while Edward Jones' Warne wasn't overly bothered by the remarks, she didn't exactly give Tudor Jones a free pass either.
"It's distressing if he thinks it's okay to say those things," she said. "I think it's a measure of how much further we have to go as a society, but beyond that, it's not very relevant to me or to most women."
Wellington pointed to Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, who took over the Internet giant while pregnant and skipped taking a long maternity leave.
"As far as I can tell, a mother is not lactating forever," Wellington added.

Northport fire station plans may include park
Published: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 9, 2013 at 11:53 p.m.
NORTHPORT | Plans for a new Northport fire station on Alabama Highway 69 will include a much larger building and possibly a small public park.
The Northport City Council on Monday approved a contract with Ward Scott Architects, which will design the project. The plan does not yet have an estimated cost. The project, if approved by the council, is expected to be funded through a $10 million bond the city plans to issue around February, said City Administrator Scott Collins.
"Ward Scott has done the majority of the design for the fire stations in Tuscaloosa and are the local experts in fire station design," Collins told the council on Monday.
The city plans to buy a lot adjacent to its existing Fire Station No. 4, near Union Chapel Road, to construct the fire station. The new station will be larger and will also house the administrative offices for the Northport Fire Department, which has outgrown its current location at Fire Station No. 1, Collins said. Construction should begin next year, he said.
Once the new station is complete, the old station will be demolished and could be replaced with a "pocket park" for the community, including a playground.
"I think the idea of a park is great, it will be a big benefit to the community," said City Councilman Rodney Sullivan.
Sullivan said it would be an attraction to have a park for school kids who could tour the fire station during field trips.
There's also not many public playgrounds in the area, said Councilman Steve Acker, who represents the area.
"I think it's a good idea, any parks like that that can coincide with construction," he said.
"The idea of it I'm for, although I'm not sure about the cost."
Other projects that might be financed through the bond issue include a new radio system for the Northport police and fire departments and the widening of Mitt Lary Road. The council has yet to officially vote on the bond issue.

The Amador Valley High boys basketball team ventured to Livermore on Wednesday.
Unfortunately for the host Cowboys, the Dons brought their tenacious defense with them in a 54-43 victory to open the East Bay Athletic League season.
Amador Valley (10-3) broke open a close game, outscoring cold-shooting Livermore (10-3) 11-4 in the third quarter.
A trio of seniors led the balanced Dons, as Brad Carbine had a game-high 18 points, Mat Macapagal added 13, and Josh Slaton had 11.
Amador Valley coach Ralph Fields called Carbine's effort a breakout game, among a slew of solid performances overall against a Livermore team that won 10 of 12 nonleague games. The Dons limited Cowboys standout Chad Wilkinson to 10 points, five below his average. He had two points in the second half.
"Defense, defense," Fields said. "You've got to be able to play defense to win a championship, and our kids are really absorbing that. They're really into that."
Livermore surged in the fourth quarter, twice cutting the deficit to seven points. Wilkinson's steal and layup cut it to 48-41 with 1:45 left after Macapagal's runner with 3:14 left had upped the margin to nine. But the Dons salted the game away from the free throw line.
After Livermore's James Dayton scored on a putback to start the second half, the Cowboys did not score again until 11 seconds remained in the quarter, on two free throws by Louie Hernandez. Slaton answered with a putback before the quarter buzzer, increasing the lead to 12 points.
The Dons went on a 7-2 surge late in the physical first half to take a 30-25 advantage at the intermission. Carbine had five points during the surge, including a 3-pointer off the glass. The Dons' Scott Rasnick's putback, on the team's third attempt during the sequence, broke a 23-23 tie. Then Carbine's putback upped the margin to four.
Wilkinson kept the Cowboys close with six of his eight first-half points in the second quarter.
Fields is enjoying this bunch because of its balance of sophomores and seniors.
"It's a new thing for us because we have so many sophomores on varsity," Fields said. "But our seniors really anchored us, the pressure they put on the other team, the solid play. I think there's a real unselfishness between them. Sometimes we have to tell them to be a little more selfish."
California 45, Monte Vista 41: The visiting Grizzlies (4-5) outscored Monte Vista 17-9 in the fourth quarter to upset the Mustangs in this EBAL opener.
Shane Haley scored a game-high 21 points for California. Trevor John paced Monte Vista (8-3) with 16 points. The game was tied at 18 at halftime.
-- Staff
Berkeley 50, Freedom 44: The host Yellowjackets (5-6) outscored the Falcons 17-9 in the fourth quarter to win this nonleague game. Berkeley's Henry Cornelious scored seven of his team-high 18-points in the fourth quarter. Teammate Adrian Rico added 12 points in the game and Justyce Key had 11 points, including two free throws to seal the win with less than five seconds remaining.
Freedom's Elliot Smith led all scorers with 20 points.

Dogma Athletica is collaborating with the Sonnenalp on a two-day swim technique lecture and clinic taking place Friday and Saturday. Acclaimed swim coach and 2000 USA Olympic Gold Medalist Misty Hyman will lead a Friday evening swim technique lecture and Saturday morning swim clinic.
Hyman is best known for her upset win at the 2000 Olympics in the 200 meter butterfly in Sydney, Australia where she beat Australia's Madame Butterfly, Susie O'Neil. Hyman is also known as a pioneer and specialist in the underwater dolphin kick. In addition, Hyman is also a 28-time All American at Stanford, 1998 NCAA Swimmer of the Year, Former World, American and Olympic record holder and 13 time National Champion. She's has been coaching triathletes, open water swimmers and competitive swimmers for more than 10 years. Hyman has a fun and easy way of breaking down the complex math and science behind optimal swimming for swimmers of all levels. She also has a compelling and inspirational story about how she made it to the top of the medal podium in Sydney that will motivate and encourage all ages to follow their dreams in any arena.
Local athlete Josiah Middaugh was coached by Hyman last year to help him with the swim leg of the XTERRA offroad triathlon races he competed in.
"Last year I was at a loss as far as what to do with my swimming," Middaugh said. "I lacked the swimming background growing up, but I had been seriously training my swimming for over 10 years with little progress in the last five years. Dogma helped line me up for coaching with Misty Hyman. She has a unique ability to break down the bio-mechanics of swimming and apply it to all levels of swimmers. She understands both the science of coaching and more importantly the art of coaching."
After Hyman's coaching, Middaugh's times improved.
"In my first two XTERRAs last season I was 2:29 and 3:22 behind the lead swimmer," Middaugh said. "In my next two XTERRAs, after only one weekend with Misty's coaching, I was 1:33 and 1:01 off the lead. The results speak for themselves. I highly recommend you join me for this swim clinic if you are looking to improve in the water."
Contact Sarah at Dogma Athletica at 970-688-4433 to sign up for the clinic. For questions, contact Josiah Middaugh at email@example.com.

Thymosin alpha 1 (trade name Zadaxin) is a 28 amino acid immune-stimulating peptide, which was originally isolated from thymic tissue, and is now produced by solid-phase peptide synthesis. Thymosin has been shown to activate toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), a cell-surface receptor that plays a key role in triggering the body's innate and adaptive immune responses, allowing significant increases in antibody production and clearance of viral infections. In preclinical studies, treatment with thymosin led to increased influenza-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses following vaccination. In a Phase 2 clinical study, treatment with biweekly doses of thymosin after vaccination was shown to decrease the incidence of influenza in elderly subjects from 19% in patients receiving influenza vaccine alone to 6% in patients receiving vaccine in combination with thymosin alpha 1 (p = 0.002). Thymosin was also shown to increase the antibody response to influenza vaccines in a number of clinical studies. These data support the use of thymosin alpha 1 to increase response to vaccination.
Over decades of research, thymosin alpha 1 has been shown to have a number of immunomodulating activities, centered primarily on augmentation of T-cell function. It has been shown to promote T-cell differentiation and maturation;2–7 increase natural killer (NK)-cell activity,8–10 production of interferon (IFN)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-2, and IL-3, expression of IL-2 receptor following activation by mitogens or antigens,8,11–17 production of migration inhibitory factor (MIF),18 and antibody response to T-cell–dependent antigens;19–21 and activate dendritic cell tryptophan catabolism.22,23 Thymosin alpha 1 also has been shown to antagonize dexamethasone-induced apoptosis in thymocytes in vitro.24,25 In vivo administration of thymosin alpha 1 to animals immunosuppressed by chemotherapy, tumor burden, or irradiation showed that thymosin alpha 1 protects against cytotoxic damage to bone marrow, tumor progression, and opportunistic infections, thereby increasing survival time and number of survivors.26–28 (see also 5,6,29,30) Many of the in vitro and in vivo effects of thymosin alpha 1 have been interpreted as influences on either differentiation of pluripotent stem cells to thymocytes or activation of thymocytes into activated T-cells. The pattern of enhanced cytokine production, i.e., IFN-alpha and IL-2, suggests that thymosin alpha 1 may influence progression to a T-helper 1 (Th1) type of immune response.31
On a subcellular level, thymosin alpha 1 has been shown to activate toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), a receptor that plays a key role in triggering the body's innate and adaptive immune responses.22,32–34 TLR9 activation affects various intracellular cell-signaling pathways that have been implicated in thymosin alpha 1's effects. These include stimulation of the p38 MAPK and NFkappaB signaling pathways, which are important for the maturation of, and antigen presentation by, dendritic cells.35–38 Together with the macroscopic effects of thymosin alpha 1 described above, these effects on signaling pathways provide a rationale for why treatment with thymosin alpha 1 could lead to significant responses to vaccination.
Thymosin alpha 1 has an excellent safety profile. Adverse experiences have been infrequent and mild in over 70 studies conducted under US corporate investigational new drug applications (INDs), physician INDs, trials in foreign countries, and market experience to date in over 2,500 individuals who have received thymosin alpha 1.39,40 These studies have shown effectiveness in a variety of indications, including response to vaccination (described below) as well as various types of cancer (melanoma, non-small-cell lung cancer, glioma, head and neck, renal, breast, gastric, and myelodysplasia) and infectious disease (chronic hepatitis B and C, HIV, primary immune deficiency).
