In Reply to: RE: Active Crossover Question for Maggie IIIas posted by neolith on February 10, 2012 at 13:48:58
I know this has been discussed before, but I did not pay much attention because I don't see any issues as far as gains. It seems to me that the level adjustment on the crossover is a gain adjustment. It that's correct, then you adjust it to match the gains of the high and low amps and nothing else to be concerned with as far as gain. Am I missing something? I'm enjoying my sound.
Follow Ups:
Basically, correct. Most units have gain controls to compensate when the amps have different gains. If you don't compensate then the balance of the amps will vary as you alter the input signal strength from the preamp.
Gain is not the same as sensitivity but the two are related and has nothing to do with the wpc. A lot of manufacturers report sensivity but may not specify gain. G = 20*log(Vo/Vi). Vo can be calculated from the power rating (maxium output before clipping) using P=IE and Ohm's law E=IR (or I=E/R) as SQRT(P*R) and Vi is the sensitivity, invariably reported at 8 ohms.
Since manufacturers often "cheat" when they report maximum power, the gains may still need some adjustment even if you have calculated the amps to have the same gain.

Edits: 02/11/12
After doing a bit more reading, I may go the MiniDSP route. Looks like it will do the correct crossover slopes, etc. I am just not sure how much of a benefit I will realize vs. when I tried using the biamp feature of my Pioneer Elite AV receiver. It has the capability to split the signal and create a flat response using the built-in mike. But I am assuming the crossover slopes and pts. the Pioneer is using aren't the factory specs that Magnepan recommends with my IIIas and that is the reason why I didn't hear any benefits.
Unfortunately Magnepan's suggestion of a 3rd order LP at 300 Hz and 2nd order at 500 Hz does not produce the same result as the OEM speaker level XO. I was not pleased with those value and went to a symmetric L-R at 400 Hz, and then 340 Hz. I then designed a custom crossover that simulates the original and had Phil Marchand send me the boards -- success.

Cal Poly Introduces Live Mustang Mascot
Oct 25, 2013
By Larry Peña
Cal Poly has a new mascot in training – a live mustang that will represent the school at various university events. The university introduced the mascot in a video shown at halftime of Friday night's men's soccer match against one of the school's fiercest rivals, the UCSB Gauchos.
Faculty and students in Cal Poly's animal science program have begun working with the mustang, a gelding named Moonstar, to prepare him for live appearances on campus and at Mustang Athletics games. The horse's official debut is planned for the beginning of the 2014 football season.
The live mascot is intended to supplement, not replace, Musty, the costumed character that has served the university as a spirit symbol for years.
The mustang was a gift from alumnus Robin Baggett (Business '73) and his wife, Michelle. The couple donated the horse for the purpose of boosting school spirit on campus.
"We've never really had a mustang mascot, and horses have been on this campus since Day One," said Baggett. "We're proud to have given him to Cal Poly. It's going to be very special."
The mustang will be more than a mascot, however. The university is developing plans to acquire several additional mustangs to share mascot duties and to select a team of outstanding students to train and care for the mustangs, plan their appearances, and serve as ambassadors for Cal Poly.
"Over and above the idea of developing school spirit, he can play an integral role in our hands-on, Learn by Doing program," said Animal Science Department Head Jaymie Noland, who will lead the new program. "The students at the horse unit are already very excited about him."
While Cal Poly has always had a robust equine program and herds of horses living on campus, this is the first time that the university has kept one specifically to serve as a mascot. This is also currently the university's only mustang – a distinctly hardy type of horse descended from the animals brought to the Americas by early European settlers.
"Robin and Michelle Baggett's sense of school spirit is another wonderful example of how generous and intensely loyal our alumni are," said President Jeffrey D. Armstrong. "I've always thought that Cal Poly chose a perfect mascot, because mustangs are living symbols of the spirit of the West. Best of all, our students will have another great learning experience, and Moonstar will be in good hands, treated well and with appropriate respect."
Video: Introducing the Cal Poly Mustang
Recent Cal Poly grad Matt Yoon (JOUR '13) filmed and edited the teaser video for Cal Poly's new Mustang Mascot Program. Yoon has worked extensively to produce videos for Mustang Athletics, and created President Jeffrey D. Armstrong's recent video response to a lost challenge with Fresno State University.
The mustang video's musical score was composed by Ryan Waczek, a fourth year music major at Cal Poly. He recorded the song at his in-home studio, using a high-quality orchestral digital library to build the music note-by-note.
Video: Giving the Mustang
Robin and Michelle Baggett discuss their gift of the new mustang and why they continue to support Cal Poly.

text: "Reviewing recent comments expressed by competitors in their quarterly reports and outlooks expressed by industry analysts, we anticipate that the competitive climate will be intense and the operating environment challenging in the second half of the year," Efird continued. "Discretionary spending for lower-income consumers – a key customer segment for Fred's – is expected to remain under pressure. The programs we put in place earlier this year, combined with our pharmacy expansion and the aggressive general merchandising initiatives we have planned in the back half of the year, are designed to meet these economic and competitive challenges. We remain confident that our earnings for the year will fall in the middle to the upper end of the range we earlier projected, with earnings in the second half increasing 14% to 28% over the same period last year and earnings for the full year increasing 17% to 25% over 2012, excluding the tax benefit recorded last year."Fred's gross profit for the second quarter of 2013 increased 3% to $136.0 million from $131.8 million in the prior-year period. Gross margin for the quarter increased 20 basis points to 28.2% compared with 28.0% in the same quarter last year. Gross profit for the first half of 2013 increased 3% to $287.0 million from $279.6 million in the prior-year period. Gross margin for the six-month period improved 40 basis points to 29.2% compared with 28.8% in the prior-year period. The improvements for the quarter and year-to-date period were driven by an increased pharmacy department gross margin, specifically reflecting the impact of the brand-to-generic mix shift, and better shrinkage control. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter, including depreciation and amortization, leveraged 20 basis points to 27.1% of sales from 27.3% of sales in the prior-year quarter. The leveraging of expenses in the second quarter was driven by store expense management as well as favorable insurance expense reductions. These improvements were partially offset by the sales impact of the pharmacy department brand-to-generic shift and investments in new pharmacies. In the first half of 2013, selling general and administrative expenses deleveraged 20 basis points to 26.9% from 26.7% of sales in the first half of 2012. The deleveraging in the year-to-date period was primarily attributable to the sales impact of the pharmacy department brand-to-generic shift and investments in new pharmacies.

I am an executive at a large govt. arts agency where I've worked most of my adult life. I started at an entry level position and worked my way to the near top. I'm proud of my work to improve the public realm and privileged to have a job that challenges and stimulates me. I love what I do and am never bored. At a time when people move from one firm to another, my longevity at this agency surprises me, but it reveals other characteristics, my loyalty and stability.
My sons, 22 and 25 are smart, cool and funny and teach me about the best IPAs, weight lifting, investing and expand my knowledge of sports. I even know the difference between a slider and a knuckle ball. Our relationship continues to evolve. They have become wise as young adults. I am so happy about our closeness.
I like anything related to the arts. A passionate Alfa Romeo/ Italian car enthusiast, I own a 72 GTV 2000, which I've had restored again and again. It is my daily rider. I bought it in my 20s and can't imagine driving anything else, except a Guilietta Sprint Especiale or a 60's Ferrari. My interest in cars doesn't qualify me as a gear head; it's primarily from an aesthetic stylistic perspective. Musical tastes range from Cuban boleros to opera, classical, salsa. the Blues, Rock Roll and Jazz.
I love to travel but it is always great to be in my beautiful city. I've been to 30 countries and am proud that I traveled alone for 1 yr. in my early 20s to So. America. Favorite things include viewing and thinking about art, working out, walking through SF's neighborhoods, looking at the bay, the sea, anything blue, dressing up, listening to music, most recently Spotify, staying at home on chilly nights watching movies, warm weather, balmy nights, beach life, cooking for friends and family and drinking good wine. I've just learned to mountain bike and kayak. Still very much a novice.
I am a Giant's fan, been called a Gamer Babe, though I don't know every stat or most to tell the truth, but I've been told i look good with those colors all over me.
I am ready and delighted to try new things and push my own boundaries all the time. Fluent in Spanish, I also speak some Italian and can understand more French than I speak. Thanks for visiting.

Looks real!
By Forever young
from Vancouver
I ordered this in the sugared colour and styled it myself. Everyone thinks it is my own hair. It needed a lot of thinning out, but the outcome is just simply great and it looks like my own hair that needs a touch up. I wonder why these people do not bring back this same colour in a slightly longer version; I ordered two others one in cream puff and another in in a wheat colour. I would like to have another style or many others, if I can get the same "sugared" coloured.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great wig
I ordered this in a light colour and I tried it on when I met my friends. Of course I also did my make up well that time and everyone thought it was really nice how I did my hair. No one had any idea it was a wig. I think Ill order another one in a blonde colour. I am blond, and my hair colour is never the same from colour to the next.I figure I can be anyone with my different hair-DO

My New Friend s Du Style Wigs
By Not so Crazy Cat Lady
from Bon Accord Alta.
I recently found it necessary to start wearing wigs.These are the same quaiity as you would find in a wig Boutique.I took my ''Du'' to one where I had it thinned out and styled for my face. While there I purchased another for $340.00 so she did not charge for the cut.{$29} A wig does not come out of the box ''ready to go''.It is a big change to look in the mirror and see ones self Soooo different! Play with it, get it styled for YOUR face and you will love the convenience of it.They are the same quality as in a store...At HALF the price....comparable to any other non-human hair product. It was my husband who encouraged me as my confidence had taken a nose dive! Love it!!!!!

sorry had to send it back
By BJ
from EDMONTON
The wig was ok but too short on the sides to work with. I had to send it back. If the sides were longer and I could have shaped it I would have kept it. I may try again with another style.
Nice Hair Piece
By Love to Shop
from PEMBROKE
Well made and very natural. Am going to take the advice of a previous reviewer and will take it to my hairdresser to get it thinned out a bit.
very lovely and useful
I ordered this the last time Do was here. I always liked hair pieces, extensions so I was happy with this when I tried it on. People commented they like my hair. Noone thought it was not my hair. I got it in the sugared blonde and I just will have it a bit thinned out and styled when I get to it because my own hair is not as thick, just the same as I have clothes fitted for my figure, as they always need it; so why not the wig? I will get another one when I am ready for a new look. This is a great product.

Wonderful Style
By Rosewillow
from British Columbia
Du Style feels human, looks human although I feel it needs styled as it's quite thick only because I have such thin fine hair and not used to such a full head of hair. Love the colour, texture and fun of owning a wonderful product.Thanks Du Style

Not for me!
By YVETTE
from LADYSMITH
Unfortunately this style and the colour Coffee Bean did absolutely nothing for me. It might suit somone else but it was not for me.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Cute but not for me!
By J Louie
from near Edmonton
I purchased three different styles and colors of wigs. While the colors were Ok, the wigs did not fit properly, so I returned them all.

By Shoe Girl
from Mission, B.C.
This truly is the most awful wig that I have ever experienced!! I can't believe The Shopping Channel allowed the sale of these pieces. I am an avid shopper on TSC and for the most part I am completely satisfied with my purchaes but REALLY TSC why did you offer these hidious hairpieces to your loyal, knowledgable customers?? IF you're offering a product of this questionable calibre, perhaps your lovely hostesses should be asked to wear them beforehand to get some personal feedback, hmmmmmm??? I pity your warehouse personnel in trying to deal with all of these hairy returns. I rest my case!!

Terra Firma said EMI shareholders now had until 19 July to decide whether to accept the 265p-per-share offer.
Terra Firma said that 3.82% of EMI shareholders had so far accepted the offer. Investors are thought to be waiting to see if a rival bid is made.
Last month, Warner Music said it had not yet ruled out making another attempt to buy EMI.
Warner, which had an earlier offer rejected, said that it was continuing "actively to consider an offer" for the UK music group.
Terra Firma's bid for EMI Group valued the company at £3.2bn including debt.

Two members of the group Survivor are suing Sony Music over royalties they say they're owed from sales of "Eye Of The Tiger." Frank Sullivan and James Peterick says, per a deal signed in 1978, the group is entitled to 50 percent of the money from sales of its licensed masters. While "licensed masters" is mostly record industry jargon, it basically means the number of times the record's been streamed or sold on digital media. (In 1978, it probably meant jukebox plays.)
Survivor alleges that Sony has been counting downloads on services like iTunes and Amazon as "sales of records" rather than licenses, even though the music ostensibly exists in sort of a licensing limbo cloud. Survivor also claims that it's never seen any money from Sony's settlements with companies like Napster, Grokster, and Kazaa, where users have undoubtedly shared "Eye Of The Tiger" millions of times.
In their complaint, Sullivan and Peterick allege that a Sony representative told them that, should they file suit, the company would exercise its "nuclear option" and remove the band's songs from iTunes all together, thus eliminating any potential for future revenue. The suit also claims that "by threatening 'the nuclear option,' Sony has conceded that its transaction with iTunes is a license subject to termination, and not a sale, of the Survivor masters to iTunes. If it was a sale, Sony would have no right to demand return of the songs."
Besides compensatory damages, Sullivan and Peterick are seeking an injunction that would keep Sony from pulling its music from digital marketplaces.

New gourmet-inspired menu options…from a dive bar?
We're always a little skeptical when our favorite local watering holes diverge from their usual menu offerings. With regular patrons keeping the lights on and the seats filled, it can be a pretty ballsy move to change items they've come to know and love. But Corner Tavern owners Mike and Melanie Rabb don't seem to have this hang up. Variety is the spice of life, and they've taken this mantra full steam ahead when they let the West Midtown Chef Cameron Lukkar run wild with the restaurant's new menu.

In November 2010 the Institute for Priests and Presbyterates (IPP) hosted an exploratory conversation with several bishops to discuss ways in which bishops, primarily, could work to build more unified presbyterates. That gathering was the genesis of this latest resource from the Rev. J. Ronald Knott, founding director of the IPP. In this collection Fr. Knott brings together a number of articles, reflections, church teachings and practical tools for building unified, intentional presbyterates. A great resource for bishops, priests and seminarians, the various contributions contain timeless truths for anyone who lives and works in relationship with superiors and subordinates, providing insight into how to better achieve common goals.

But isn't Hominick a featherweight and fighting in the WEC in September?
what they told me this is 2months ago is that he was on his last fight of his w.e.c contract and after he fought the was becoming a free agent as w.e.c where stalling on his agreement and astra had tabled a 3 fight contract at bantamweight
If this goes ahead it's irresponsible matchmaking at its worst
Would have to support the scarecrow though, although I'm strongly against the matchup (IF the offer was serious)
hominick vs garcia at wec 51 ? imo they need to sign the scarecrow to fight the winner ????
yes scarecrow

i shall be returning to training and shall be back better than ever if these fights do pan out id stupid to take them due to experience but stupid to turn down the opportunity on offer!!!! look at mark hunt lost 5 in a row signing for ufc anythin is possible
This is obviously a sick joke lol

Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough: Smooching in St. Barts
Enjoying a winter vacation in sunny St. Barts, Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough sipped wine on the deck of a friend's house on Friday (January 4).
The "American Idol" host wore a blue T-shirt, Panama hat, and khaki shots as he locked lips with his "Dancing with the Stars" girlfriend, who wore a wide-brimmed hat and pretty pink strapless dress.
Earlier this week, the happy couple were spotted cozying up in the ocean and trying their hands at paddleboarding.
The 24-year-old blonde beauty recently spoke of her 38-year-old beau, saying, "We love what we do. We take pride in giving it our all, but then when we're alone, we really focus in on going to dinners and being extra-romantic and affectionate and just being there for each other."

Let's TalkZapaday, Verrijn Stuartlaan 7, Rijswijk, Netherlands.
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Lufthansa, United Airlines and Air Canada, otherwise known as the Star Alliance airlines, are expected to implement several measures to ease the EU Commission's anti-trust concerns.
The transatlantic cooperation deal between the three airlines has upset their competitors, who called for the EU Commission to assess the effect of the Alliance on the market. The Commission has determined that the airlines' cooperation involves funneling passengers into each other's networks, joint route planning, price setting and revenue sharing.
The concessions proposed by the three airlines include making landing and take-off slots available for their competitors on the Frankfurt-New York route. In addition, they are willing to negotiate with competitors on fare compatibility. According to the Commission, "these agreements would enable competitors to offer tickets on the parties' flights and facilitate access to connecting traffic."

Re: Marking answers as "helpful"Dana Grennier Aug 30, 2013 12:32 PM (in response to Erik Oswald)
You can only mark an answer as helpful or correct if you are the person who posted the question.
Re: Marking answers as "helpful"Erik Oswald Aug 30, 2013 12:35 PM (in response to Dana Grennier)
Thanks, Dana! I see that you are correct, so I marked it. I was thrown off because the instructions on the badge said to go read some questions and mark them as helpful or correct, but it didn't say I had to post the question first.
I am trying to achieve the "Knowledge is Power" badge, where it says I need to mark an answer as "helpful." However, I don't see that option popping up on anyone's answer. "Liking" an answer doesn't seem to be the same as marking it as "helpful." I went to the Jive Help page and it said there should be an "actions" button, but I don't see that either. Perhaps I can only mark answers to my own question as helpful, which I will find out since this is my first question. Any other ideas?

Long-term Work of the Advisory Committee
Long-term work of the Advisory Committee and issues in which the Committee should become engaged
This document summarizes the contributions received from members of the Advisory Committee members concerning the possible longer-term subject areas in which the Committee could focus its efforts in the coming years.
1. Gene Del Polito
I have given some thought to the issue of what should be discussed at the upcoming meeting of the. Here is some of what came to mind.
- We have yet to address how we might suggest that State, the USPS, the PRC, and/or Congress should reconcile those aspects of the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act that are not in accord with our nation's diplomatic or trade policies. For instance, should international services be listed as market-dominant or competitive services? What is the thinking behind either decision? How does the decision comport with the requirements we must follow from our treaty with the UPU and/or our policies or laws governing commerce and trade?
- Of those things that have transpired at the recent UPU Congress in Geneva, which are consonant or inconsonant with U.S. policy?
- What levers of influence were we able to gain in terms of the appointments and responsibilities we have agreed to accept within the UPU?
- How can the members of the Advisory Committee take fuller responsibility for determining future topics of discussion that would facilitate the State Department's role vis-a-vis the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act and international postal services?
- What is the Postal Service's strategic plan regarding the development of international postal products and services?
- To what extend do those plans incorporate the need to improve the Postal Service's financial position which is essential to the provision of a universal mail delivery system?
Finally, I would like to suggest that you consider allowing PostCom to host the next Committee meeting. If sufficient notice were provided, I could arrange for us to meet in the main conference room of our general counsel's firm's offices. Similar consideration should be given to permitting other participants the privilege of hosting an upcoming meeting. Quite frankly, it would eliminate the grief associated with the clearance process for meeting at State.
2. Tom Leavey
I might suggest the following (although they are not presented in any detail):
- I would suggest broadening the comparative study of the national postal legislation of other countries to include the policies enunciated by the European Commission in their postal directives, with particular focus on liberalization and the definition of the universal service obligation in terms of coverage, access, price and quality.
- I believe that some of the most pressing issues confronting postal operators, governments and regulators in the international postal market could be studied. These include, but are not limited to, extraterritorial offices of exchange, cost-based terminal dues, WTO commitments and schedules, and threats or opportunities posed by electronic communications.
- Although some might consider it not to be a role for FACA, I would be in favor of a study that would identify factors influencing the future growth or decline of mail volumes. This is an issue of particular concern to the Global Envelope Alliance, an organization on which I serve as a member of the Board.
- Particular attention should be devoted to the activities and achievements of the UPU Consultative Committee. Many of the members of FACA participate in the Consultative Committee and its Chairman, Charles Prescott, could present regular reports on its work.
3. Sue Presti
The key issues for the Advisory Committee will be implementation of the relevant provisions of PAEA, and advising on key issues arising at the UPU. The latter would include relevant work by the Consultative Committee, including its initiative on addressing, as well as by the POC and CA.
4. Charles Prescott
[The Advisory Committee should demonstrate] support for and involvement in the work of the Consultative Committee's proposals involving one universal delivery point validation database and change of address facility run under auspices of UPU, and support for development of address systems in countries lacking them.
5. Brad Smith
I would like to have the following items included for consideration and discussion by the Advisory Committee and the public:
- Stock taking on status of implementation of the U.S. Strategic Plan for the UPU, U.S. priorities (limitations on expansion into private markets) and FACA next steps.
- U.S. Government outreach to the Financial Stability Forum International Institutions (World Bank, IMF) and financial services regulatory standards setters (FATF, BIS, IOSCO, and IAIS) to engage UPU on bringing postal affiliated financial services providers under global system of regulation and supervision.
- Development of a FACA transparency and consultation procedures (timelines for consultation with, comment template and comment resolution procedures).
- Establishment of a FACA working group on financial services.

I have made some improvements to EasyPBI. As per Ken's suggestion, EasyPBI will now try to locate the defaulticon.png file if it can't figure out any better icon for the port. EasyPBI searches for this default icon in the current working directory and, if it's not there, it will check PREFIX/share/pbimaker/

 The underlying library has been updated so it no longer assumes ports are kept in /usr/ports. We should now be able to work with a port tree in any location. So if the user downloads the ports tree using EasyPBI, we can now work with ports under the user's home. This removes the last "root requirement".

 The latest version is attached. If it works okay, I'll submit an updated PBIMaker and EasyPBI to FreeBSD's ports collection.

 Jesse,
 I just ran EasyPBI to make games/alienblaster, then ran pbi_makport on the module and it built/worked perfectly! I think it is about ready for release.

 BTW, I am also working on a GUI for EasyPBI to actually run pbi_makeport (with appropriate options) once I get it to semi-working condition, I will send it to you. The only issue that I have seen is that pbi_makeport *requires* root permissions to run. At least it should be the only part of the program that does.... :-)

Headline: A Team Player
By Charles Babb
(From Summer 2006 issue)
His senior season was supposed to be his crowning achievement. It was supposed to be a time where his obvious athletic gifts were rewarded. It was supposed to be full of fun, victories, and capped with a playoff run.
Then life intervened.
Walter Dublin and his senior teammates at Sarasota High School in Sarasota, Fla., had wanted to be part of something special. Instead, those hopes first circled and then swirled down the toilet due to injuries.
First, there was the injury of one of their starting defensive tackles. When he separated his shoulder, hard choices were forced upon Dublin and the coaching staff. Playing at 6-3, 227 pounds, with a 4.57-second 40-yard dash, Dublin's best position was coming off the edge.
However, the team was in a bind and the coaches wondered if their star defensive end would play inside.
"We were short a couple of defensive players so for about five of the seven games I was playing inside defensive tackle in a three technique," Dublin said. "I did what I could for the team."
As a result, his statistics didn't begin to match his junior season's 84 tackles (22 for a loss), 14 sacks, and an interception he returned for a touchdown. Accordingly, his stock started dropping with recruiting services.
"They were used to me playing defensive end, and they were ready for me to do big things at D-end," admitted Dublin. "When they moved me to defensive tackle, I wouldn't say I was overshadowed. I just wasn't in (my natural) position, so I didn't stand out as much."
Preseason nominations to the All American Bowl in San Antonio and consideration for the CaliFlorida Bowl and the Max Emfinger Game hung in the balance, but Dublin's numbers were not stacking up.
Still, he was more interested in something else.
"I had been in contact with a lot of college coaches," Dublin said. "I told them what was happening, and they said, 'Do what you have to do for the team. It shows character, and I am really proud of you for doing that.' I did it for the team. It is a team thing. I want to win; it's not all about the individual stats."
Matters went from bad to worse -- in the seventh game, he suffered a fractured ankle.
Though he said it without rancor, Dublin believes the ankle was injured on a "cheap shot."
"I was running down the field after the play, and some guy came up behind me," he said. "I tried go get back up and run after the play, but I fell down again. It was done to take me out of the game. They had game-planned against me. The first three games I was chop blocked on every single play, but I was still making the plays in the backfield. I was running down the field and somebody just came up and took my legs out."
Without Dublin on the field, Sarasota's team struggled. Despite starting 6-1, they finished just 1-3, including a first-round loss in the playoffs. Dublin's presence might (and probably would) have made a difference as two of the losses were three points or less.
Meanwhile, all of the all-star game invitations and watch lists fell through. Even with 60 tackles, 11 sacks and four blocked punts – most of which came with him playing out of position, he wasn't considered an elite player.
So does all of this upset Dublin? Does it eat on him like it would most high school seniors? Does he believe it hurt the number of scholarships he was offered?
Not a chance.
"I was still getting offers after I was injured," Dublin said. "The college coaches see what I did on film. They know what I am capable of doing. I am 100 percent now, so I am not worried about it. I had a good season overall."
With nearly 35 total offers including a laundry list of prestigious programs like Ohio State, Florida, Nebraska, Virginia Tech, Clemson and Iowa, he still had his choice of schools.
This begs the question: why Ohio State? Why in the world would he choose to move over 1,000 miles from home?
For Dublin, the decision was all about his visit.
"I went up there and the players really accept you as part of the team," he said. "That city, that stadium, everything there is just incredible. I fell in love with it."
Yet the visit to Columbus almost didn't happen.
"After I had taken my visit to Minnesota, I really liked it up there," he said. "I liked that city a lot, and I was pretty sure I wasn't going to take another visit, but my mom was like, 'You know what, I have been to Ohio. You need to just take that visit. It is a free visit. You might really like that school because I like that school.'
"I took the visit but told them (his mom and his head coach Jeff Perkins) if it wasn't anything extremely special I was going to commit to Minnesota."
It was with an almost prejudicial air that Dublin arrived in Columbus. He favored the Golden Gophers and wanted, no demanded, the Buckeyes impress him – or else lose him to a Big Ten rival.
He was blown away.
"The people there, they support that team so much," Dublin said of Ohio State and Columbus. "They just love football up there. That is a real, real football town. There are only a few of those in the U.S., and that's one of the places where worldwide people know the Ohio State Buckeyes and people support Ohio State. I want to be a part of that. It's special. It's really special up there.
"It is pretty blatant everywhere you go (laughing). Everyone is talking about Ohio State football. Older people, teenagers, and even the children, they love the Buckeyes. With a stadium that big, 105,000 people every game, and it is sold out every game – it doesn't get much better than that."
More importantly Dublin fell head over heels for the Buckeye coaching staff and head coach Jim Tressel.
"Coach Tressel is an amazing coach on and off the field," Dublin said. "He really cares about the players up there. When I sat down with him, it wasn't all about football. We didn't even talk about football. Every other school I went to the head coach was, 'We want to win, and we want championships.'
"When I sat down with him, he asked, 'What do you want out of your experience at Ohio State? What are you looking to accomplish in life outside of football?' That really stood out. You could see it in the players. They are all doing pretty well. They are all pretty successful. They are getting their degrees, and their graduation rate is amazing."
He contrasted Tressel's approach to at least one other school on his list. Since they too were a top flight school with more than its fair share of conference championships, the coaching staff waved their rings in his faces and told him point blank that if he wanted a ring he needed to play for their university.
Their plan backfired, Dublin said.
"That's not what I am concerned about," he said. "My mom always told me it is about education first and football second. That stands true with me. I want to go up there and get a degree before I even think about going (to the NFL). I have always had the dream to go to the pros, but you have to have something to fall back on."
His mother, April Gillespie, will miss him but is pretty thrilled with the decision and laughed as she talked about how much Dublin enjoyed his visit.
"Did he tell you he called me at 2 a.m. and said, 'This is it, I love it?' That was at 2 a.m.," she said.
Like any mother whose son is away from home, her heart skipped a beat when she picked up the phone and heard his voice. She was afraid that any one of a number of the fears that cause parents to lose sleep might have come true. She was concerned her son needed her help.
That wasn't the case at all; her son was simply so excited he couldn't hold it in any longer.
"It scared me," she admitted. "It really did scare me. He has never called me at 2 a.m. I was thankful it was him saying it was how much he loved Ohio. That was Sunday morning/Saturday night I guess. He was in his hotel room. He was coming home on Sunday. I said, 'We can talk about it. Are you sure? When you get home lets talk about it, and if that is the case we can get the ball rolling.'
"He came home, and he was just beaming. He loved Coach Tressel, and when I met Coach Tressel I liked him, too. I felt comfortable. That in of itself is a tribute to him because Scooter -- we call him Scooter -- is a pretty good person at reading people."
After talking it over briefly, "Scooter" was so enamored that he cancelled his visit to Clemson and committed to the Buckeyes on Jan. 9 with the blessing of his mother and his head coach. A day later, they announced his decision to the media, and he hasn't wavered.
These days Dublin is staying busy preparing for the next step. Aside from raising his core grade point average by taking night classes over the past year, he trains with the Ohio State workout and is moving to Columbus in the middle of June. He hopes to learn the ropes from current players and get a head start on this fall.
"(Right) now he is in his room packing," remarked his mother, Ms. Gillespie. "I said, 'I couldn't get you to clean the room for 18 years and now you are in here packing? He has boxes, and he is just ready. I don't even know what is in those boxes. He has been gaining weight; he can't fit in any of his clothes. He is boxing clothes he can't even fit in (laughing). He grew another inch. He is 6-4, 245 now. I'll go through them later; I'm letting him have his moment."
Not only that, but if the doctor is right he may not be done yet.
"The doctor said he might grow another inch or two," she said. "He had hit his hand or something about a year ago, and they X-rayed the hand. There was space in there (in the bone cavity). The doctor said, 'Do you see that? He isn't even filled out.' He was 6-3 then and has grown the one inch. So, maybe he'll be 6-5? That is a good height."
A 6-5, 250-pound defensive end with sub 4.6 speed is not just good; they have the potential to be great. Maybe this is why Buckeye coaches are probably just as anxious to have Dublin in Columbus as he is to get there. Slotted for their Leo position, a role that requires a great deal of flexibility and athleticism, the coaches are obviously expecting a great deal.
While he is ready to compete for playing time and hopes to hurry the process along with his early arrival, Dublin concedes, "Whatever they want me to do. I will do it for the team. If they tell me I need a year to redshirt and get a little better, I will accept that. I would hate to sit out of football for a whole year and not be able to play on Saturdays, but if it would help the team I'll do it."
Even if he doesn't play this year, Gillespie is thrilled just to see her son succeed.
"I'm so proud of him; you can't even imagine," she said. "It's a blessing for one and is a dream of his for two. You don't usually get a blessing and have your child live a dream, too. It is a special thing for him. I want to make sure he feels like it."
Undoubtedly, he will feel it, and he won't have to wait too long. Dublin will feel the waves of cheers cascade across him as he runs out of the tunnel. He won't be just packing or looking forward to donning the Scarlet and Gray. He will be one of the precious few that don't just pursue but actually gets to live his dream.

Before you sign the contract to upgrade your home…
Home Improvements Not to Do
by Rick Kahler

Holding Building Contractors to Their Promises
7 Non-Obvious Ways to Save On a Kitchen Remodel
After a long, wet spring, summer has finally arrived in the Black Hills. The scent of grilling hamburgers and the sound of lawnmowers fill the air in the evenings, the parks and bike path are busy, and the city pools are beginning to fill up with shrieking children.
If you like to swim, but don't especially like sharing a pool with hordes of enthusiastic little splashers, this is the time of year you might start thinking wistful thoughts about how nice it would be to have your own private pool in your own backyard. Any time you wanted a quick dip, you could just head out the door with your towel. The only children in the water would be your own kids or grandkids, there strictly by invitation.
Maybe, you think, it would be a good idea to check with a couple of contractors and find out how much a pool would cost.
Or maybe your dream home improvement project isn't a pool, but a built-in hot tub or sauna. Maybe you'd really like a commercial-grade kitchen, a specialized workshop or studio, a room just for your electric train sets, an elaborate fountain system for your garden, a soundproof state-of-the-art audio/visual room, or a tower on the roof for your astronomy sessions.
There's nothing wrong with any of those things, if you really want them and can afford them. But before you start calling contractors for any home improvements that are out of the ordinary, here are a few factors you might consider:
- How much, realistically, will you use this improvement? In northern climates like South Dakota, for example, you can probably only use an outdoor swimming pool two to four months out of the year.
- How expensive, in time and money, will it be to maintain? Swimming pools and hot tubs require regular cleaning and attention to water quality. They can send your utility bills soaring like an August thermometer. A pool might also increase your homeowner's insurance premiums.
- What will this do to the resale value of your home? This may not seem important if you have no intention of moving in the next 20 or 30 years, but it needs to be considered. Sooner or later, the time will come when it's necessary to sell your house.
Should I use a HELOC for home remodeling and repairs?
Putting in a deluxe kitchen might add value, but if it prices the house too far above the average for your neighborhood, you probably wouldn't get your money back. If you add a specialized workshop, hobby room, or media room, selling the house would require finding a buyer who shares your particular interest. Consider how many of those people might actually be out there.
In many areas, sales of homes with pools and without pools indicate a seller will not recoup the cost of adding a pool. In fact, in some instances, homes with pools sell for less than those that don't have pools.
Before you add any expensive and unique feature to your house, take time to consider carefully how much it will cost beyond the initial investment and how much it will be worth to you. If you decide it will add value to your life, then go for it. Just don't plan on getting back a penny of the cost, and be prepared to have it actually hurt the sale of the property.
And before you grab a shovel and start digging a swimming pool, you could check out the cost of several years' membership at the Y or the swim center. It just might be a whole lot cheaper.

A late collision with Thierry Dusautoir finally ended Thomas' bruising match.
The Cardiff Blues back will bear the scars for some time, however, having had 20 stitches in three facial cuts.
Dwayne Peel (calf), Kevin Morgan (knee) and Chris Horsman (shoulder) are not long-term concerns, but Duncan Jones' shoulder needs further monitoring.
Wales coach Gareth Jenkins said that Thomas' prone exit from the Millennium Stadium pitch had been more a precautionary measure.
"It was more exhaustion than a serious injury, although it didn't look good when Gareth came off," Jenkins said.
"There was also a bump earlier that affected his vision."
Fly-half Stephen Jones is due to return to training this week after recovering from a groin injury which ruled him out of Wales' August campaign.
Depending how the Llanelli Scarlets number 10 holds up in training this week, Jones could be ready for Wales' World Cup opener against Canada on 9 September.
Wales fly-half James Hook said they had learned valuable lessons from their defeat to France.
A record loss to England in Wales' first World Cup warm-up match three weeks ago was followed by a 27-20 win over Argentina last weekend.
But Hook, who crossed for Wales' sole try, insisted a bruising warm-up campaign will stand his team-mates in good stead for the finals, which start in a fortnight.
"We have learned little bits along the way and have taken a lot out of this game again," Hook said.
"We will try to come back stronger, and we will. We showed glimpses of what we can do, but France are looking very good in fairness.
"We dug in and never gave up."

So last time I made a BLT, it was pretty freaking awesome and that was before the height of tomato season. Today I found a decent local Yellow Brandywine tomato at our Kroger of all places and decided I wanted a BLT. But, this time I took it to the next level: Frying. I enjoy fried green tomatoes as much as any southerner but sometimes they are too firm, too young. This tomato's rich, creamy texture was perfect for frying. For more photos and recipes, keep reading.
The 12 oz. tomato yielded 6 nice slices. We made a simple dredge of flour & freshly ground black pepper, egg with about 1/4 tsp. chipotle Tabasco and a bread crumb mixture with kosher salt and more freshly ground black pepper. Once dredged, the tomatoes were fried in a little bit of vegetable oil for a couple minutes per side until nicely browned and cooked through.
I used some good multi-grain bread and slathered it with some of my tasty Fresh Cayenne Chipotle Mayo. I set two of the amazing fried tomato discs onto some turkey bacon (I know, I know, but I had to compromise something considering I was frying the tomatoes, something about Megan wanting me to live) and topped it with a mix of fresh field greens.
This Sandwich was so amazingly good and I highly recommend trying it sometime. We had it along side a bowl of Nicole Hamaker's Chilled Ginger Cantaloupe Soup which was seriously delightful.
If you make the soup, try adding a pinch of nutmeg and top it with fresh chopped mint leaves like we did. It really enhances the flavor of the cantaloupe and ginger. All around a great lunch!
After lunch we did the next step in our wine making which was to transfer the wine from the fermenting bucket to the glass carboy. This removes the sediment and starts the first phase of clarifying.
I'll keep posting from time to time about the wine as we continue the process. It's a lot of fun and actually turns out pretty great. Well, that's it for now. I gotta go make some salsa and start a brine on two chickens tomorrow that I'm smoking for our big Labor Day party. Check back later this week for pictured from that. Until then, have a great holiday!

A gulf fritillary butterfly feeds on a wildflower at Forage Farm at Prairie Creek Preserve in Rochelle.
My assignment was to go out to the farm and shoot a portrait of co-owner and farmer Melissa DeSa for this issue of Gainesville Magazine. Working for both the magazine and The Gainesville Sun, a photo journalist's mission with every daily assignment is to come back with stories for our readers, so, when I arrived I noticed a group of high school students working the farm, picking wildflowers while butterflies danced about them. After shooting the portrait, my attention turned to the students and their mission, which was to earn community service hours with the University of Florida Young Entrepreneurs for Leadership and Sustainability's Gainesville Summer Service Project. So while the students worked, I worked alongside, capturing them and the butterflies, and bringing back a daily feature for the newspaper as well as photos for this issue of the magazine.

Should I put as first choice a school my son has no chance of getting into?(72 Posts)
Because he is well out of the catchment area and it is a very, very oversubscribed school?
I know it sounds a daft dilemma. But my son told me today his friends in our small neighbourhood were applying there which made no sense to me . But I suppose they have nothing to lose if they put it on their list. If they put it as a first choice and the answer is no, they can still go straight to their second, third choices etc assuming they get a "yes" there?
But something about putting a school as first choice you have almost zero chance of getting into feels weird to me .
steppe, well i suppose it's true that a popular school that is most likely on the top of lots of people's lists would fill up quicker, meaning you wouldn't get it if you had it lower as those with it as no 1 would get it over their lower schools?
It's all very complicated.....
NO! You stand same chance if you have put it 1st or 6th
John has put school A first, but lives 3 miles away
Jane has put school A 2nd, but lives very close.
School gets sent list of all the names of all the kids regardless of 1st, 2nd etc.
School looks at kids plus criteria. Both Jack and Jane are eligible, they go on the schools list which is ordered according to criteria (siblings, looked after kids, faith kids, and then distance or whatever their criteria is.)
Jane goes at no.20 on the list and Jack as no. 300, because of distance. School has 170 places.
LEA gets school list back.
Jane could be offered a place at school A. LEA look at her form and find she prefers school Z. She can't be offered place at school Z, as she is too far away compared to others, so she is offered place at school A.
John cannot be offered place at school A as there are only 170 places and he is no. 300, he is no. 30 for his 2nd choice school so is offered that one.
It isn't first choices and then second choices, all the choices are all considered at the same time. Then if you qualify for more than one school (eg your first and fourth choices) the LEA looks at your form and sees which one you prefer. Offers you the place at first choice place and cancels the place at school no. four.
sorry NO was a bit shouty
how about No!
No ThreeTomatoes - that's not how it works
Each of the schools you list will know you listed them but not WHERE you listed them. So academies get a list from the council with each child named and they prepare a list to send back placing with all the sibling / top priority people at the top of that list and all the people who live 7 miles away at the bottom of that list.
The person who lives 7 miles away with no sibling will always be treated as the lowest priority for that school even if they listed it as their absolute 1st choice.
And a sibling (assuming the school has sibling criteria) will have a virtually guaranteed place at secondary school even if they listed the school last and put 5 totally impossible choices above it.
All that matters is how well you qualif i.e. do you meet the criteria?
How much you like it is never an issue except if you are lucky enough to qualify for 2 or more schools in which case the council refer to your original list and give you the school you placed highest out of all those that you qualify for.
If you only qualify for 1 school, you get it even if you lisrted it last and even if people who listed it 1st have been rejected for not meeting the criteria as well as you do.
Yes I know all that, my brain was beginning to melt when I looked at my previous post while i wrote it and thought 'hang on a minute it depends on how they fit the criteria'... but then i couldn't be bothered to think it all through further
I think my post stands if ALL the kids applying to that school fit the criteria - if there were enough kids who put it as no1 AND fit the criteria, then those who put it at no 2 etc wouldn't get it....
But that's a highly unlikely scenario
So, ignore me...
*ok i meant if ALL the kids, say 120 of them, applying to that school who had put it as 1st choice, were kids nos 1-120 on the schools list and 121 onwards had put it as 2nd.
what bollocks my example was
i'll shut up now
I think my post stands if ALL the kids applying to that school fit the criteria - if there were enough kids who put it as no1 AND fit the criteria, then those who put it at no 2 etc wouldn't get it....
It is brain-melting stuff I agree but that's still not it sorry Tomato
The people applying cannot all meet the criteria equally unless they are all living in the same house and have the same sibling status. Some are bound to live closer than others even if it is only 6cm closer - that still counts.
The people who get the 120 places are:
- the people who listed the school somewhere (anywhere) on their form
- but who didn't qualify for any of the other schools they listed higher up than this one
- and do qualify for this one more than other applicants probably by living a bit closer to the school than other people who applied.
- which is how someone who listed it 1st can easily be rejected in favour of someone who listed it 6th (even if they live nextdoor to each other!)
Thank you, tiggytape, that is mainly what I thought. Going on the last figs I can find on a quick trawl, in Sept 12, 96.1% of children got their first choice of school, with 98.8% getting 1 of their 3. I'm fine with all three of my choices, I just listed my preferences as instructed. My 1st choice let in 15 more than their PAN, so total out of catchment allocated places was 44. We have a chance and we can appeal twice, many others have and have been successful. I have sweated over this for so long now, but application is now submitted and I'm not going to worry away the next 5 months.
I saw those figures too forever. I always got the impression that loads of kids got 2nd/3rd choices or worse.and I was really surprised to see how many got their first choice.
I know the figures are slightly less good for London (not sure if yours are the London figures or the country as a whole, if they are are for London, then the figures for out of London are even better)
I was surprised by some of the things we discovered in the process too, our second choice has a pan of 170, and they took in 300 last year, basically agreed to take in a whole extra class, and by doing so accommodated all the children who had put them first (I think others got their first choice schools anyway) I hadn't realised that a school could/would do that.
In a way the long wait is easier than short wait. We had 7 days between tests and result for 11+ and it was awful. Much easier to think forget about it until March!
(but I will be on here agonising at the end of Feb!
Somerset figs, steppe. HT of our first choice said persistence pays, at least 15 over PAN were admitted (I know personally of 1 more recently) and a sizable amount were out of catchment and bottom of criteria, IYSWIM.
Interesting comment re the whole extra class, we had something along the same lines going on down here. As I said before, we only know what we know.
London is about 70% on average but there are huge variations eg in Hammersmith and Fulham it was just 56.67% this year even though the current Year 7 is the lowest birth rate year in the area for ages.
No London borough really gets above 80 or 85% because there is a school place shortage so by definition some people cannot go to a local school no matter what they list.
When boroughs say that 97% (or whatever) got one of their choices you also have to bear in mind that the school place crisis forces parents to list schools they don't really want just to be sure of getting any place at all. So although technically most people got one of the schools they listed, that doesn't mean they got a school that they chose freely but one they were obliged to choose.
It is totally different nationally and region to region of course. There are areas where people have a free choice of at least 2 schools and know they can get into either ((wistful sigh))
I think what threetomatoes meant was that they would get it because it was number 1 on their list compared to the other schools they put on their list not where it was on other people's list.
So technically a school might fill up with people who put it at number 1 if all the people who put it lower on their list also qualified for a school they had a higher preference for. I think it's more likely to happen if people are encouraged to 'put a school first because you won't get in otherwise' because a far greater proportion of their applicants will have put it as first choice.
technically a school might fill up with people who put it at number 1 if all the people who put it lower on their list also qualified for a school they had a higher preference for.
Yes that is true but unlikely. It would be a huge coincidence if all the people who liked it best also qualified the most and all the people who liked it slightly less also qualified for it slightly less.
In reality, the popular schools are listed number 1 by more people than there are places and are also listed 2nd,3rd,4th or 5th by plenty of others as well.
The people the popular school takes will be the people with siblings and living close by who listed it somewhere on their forms who either wanted it a lot or couldn't be offered a higher choice.
it's more likely to happen if people are encouraged to 'put a school first because you won't get in otherwise
People are encouraged to do this for choice number 6 (the safe option, the back-up school) not choice 1. Choice number 1 on your form is for the one you love best if distance / siblings / faith were no object and if by some miracle they decide to take double the number of students overnight. Number 6 is the one that is realistic but possibly not a nice option but better than nothing at all.
DD's school was like noblegiraffe said. Massively over subscribed the year DD applied, so the following year loads of people didn't bother to try and get in and it was undersubscribed.
I did mean to add it was unlikely but technically possible. Although that does depend on where you live. Here, you are unlikely to not be given your first choice of secondary school so most schools are actually filled or almost filled by people who put it first. Very different for family of mine living in London.
I wasn't thinking of people who had been given good advice to have guaranteed school somewhere on their list. More like the thread a few weeks back where the HT had implied at an induction meeting that you had to put the school first in order to get in or where there are widespread myths in the community about 'first preference first'. That gets corrected on MN, it doesn't always outside of this forum and people end up putting a popular school first because they think they should or not putting it at all because they think they won't stand a chance of getting in if they don't put it first.
That is what I meant Claydavis and it was a load of nonsense so not really worth discussing . It would be a massive coincidence if all the 120 applicants accepted to a school based on its criteria had also put the school as no1...
I have heard 2 Heads in their speeches say "Put our school at the top of your list if you want the best chance of getting in". It really riled me. They know full well that's not how it works. Had they gone on to explain - because, if you do get accepted by the school but had a different school higher on the list you would get that one instead... then fine but no, they made it sound like the preferences make a difference to your application to the school itself.
Interesting to hear there are stats i can google re % of 1st choice given etc... off to google now!
Can I do a simplified explanation?
There are 2 schools a mile apart, 1 and 2. Each school can take 2 pupils this year.
Then there are 3 potential pupils:
A who lives opposite school 1 and would rather go there
B who lives opposite school 2 and would rather go there
C lives 2 miles further up the road from 2 and wants to go to 1
Because they are sensible they all also list their second choice of school.
In the first allocation round the schools order every person who applied by the allocation rules. These are purely distance as no siblings:
1: A, B, C (only A&B would get in)
2: B, A, C (only B&A would get in)
As A and B both have two place on offer they take their highest preference and remove their applications to any lower schools. Thus leaves us with:
C now had 2 places offered so rejects their lowest offer (and takes school 1).
Its just that instead of multiple rounds of people bidding for lots of schools then rejecting offers every time they get more than 1 its done in a single form.
Disclaimer: written on phone screen so sorry for typos.
Further scenarios:
1: A, B, C (only A&B would get in)
2: B, A, C (only B&A would get in)
A & B both chose school 1, leaving us with:
A had chosen school 2, B had chosen school 1:
(Then C chooses 1...)
Both A & B had chosen school 2:
Lots of over-analysing going on here!
The simple message is;
List the schools in your preferred order.
And include your 'safe bet' as the final choice.
BTW miracles do happen. Last year I put:
1) The school that had been our preference for several years, but now a long shot due to our primary no longer being a feeder, and only sibs plusa small handful on distance getting places
2) Our favourite but an even longer shot - only 2 sibs from our primary have got a place in the last 7 years
3) Our 'safe bet'.
DC was offered 2), due to a combination of it being the lowest year for ages, but most signicantly, a new school opening some way from us but that diverted man of the competing families. I nearly fell off my chair! A handful of others that had bothered to put it on their forms also got places. Most didn't, and are kicking themselves.
Interestingly, this year, I saw most of the current Yr6 at the open evening at school 2, and it's firmly back in parents' sights.
Have you seen the school?
Use your parental choice to choose the right school for your son regardless of friends/catchment/gcse results. Do consider transportation though.
There is no way my son is going to our catchment school! It's not even in our list.
Ps. Only a third of children in our catchment area go to the local catchment school.

Role of Mucosal Immunity in Preventing Candida albicans Infections
Candida albicans is an ubiquitous fungus that colonizes 50-60% of humans and is now the 4th leading cause of hospital-acquired infections. Surgical patients, premature babies, and cancer patients are particularly prone to developing
Commensal microbial flora play a critical role in maintaining homeostasis in the mammalian gut. Recent studies have shown that certain populations of commensal bacteria are critical for inducing host gastrointestinal epithelial cells to produce antimicrobial peptides (AMP, such as RegIIIγ) that are essential for maintaining microbial population equlibrium and homeostasis. When commensal bacterial populations are disrupted via antibiotic therapy, AMP production is markedly diminished and certain microbial populations can overgrow and subsequently cause invasive disease.
Adult mice can not be natively gastrointestinally (GI) colonized with the fungi, Candida albicans, yet neonatal mice and adult mice pre-treated with antibiotics can be sustainably colonized in the GI tract. We have preliminary evidence that the presence of select commensal anaerobic bacteria are essential for maintaining a GI environment that leads to C. albicans GI colonization resistance. We are now in the process of elucidating both the direct bacterial-fungal and bacterial-host mechanisms that prevent C. albicans from colonizing the adult mice GI tract. By gaining insight into these mechanisms, we hope to apply these findings to human patients with hopes of preventing invasive C. albicans infections.
Bacterial-Fungal Interactions in the Gastrointestinal Tract
Role of Keratinocyte Growth Factor on the Virulence of Candida albicans
controlling such essential virulence factors as morphogenesis, invasion, and response to oxidative stress. We are in the process of elucidating the exact mechanism of KGF-induced increased virulence in C. albicans.Furthermore, we have begun investigating whether FGF-10, a homolog of KGF which also binds and activates KGF-R, also enhances the virulence of C. albicans. The information learned from these studies may be critical in furthering our understanding of the interplay between host and pathogen that allow C. albicans to cause disseminated disease.
Role of Commensal Flora in the Acute GI Graft Versus Host Disease
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a therapeutic modality becoming increasingly utilized in the treatment of many hematologic malignancies. Despite the potentially curative effect, graft versus host disease (GVHD), a complex immune-mediated process, remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality encountered in those undergoing HSCT, and therefore limits its use. The commensal gut flora has been implicated in initiating and perpetuating acute GVHD, but its role remains controversial. Previous studies have shown that bacterial components activate the innate immune system, leading to cytokine release and subsequent inflammation. In murine transplant models, intestinal GVHD (iGVHD) was accompanied by a

The casual torrent of that pseudo-relationship you're having IS NOT WORTH the price you'll have to pay. Do not trust that guy, and try to trust yourself more. You are beautiful, and one day you're going to pick up pictures of yourself from this time and go, "My God, what was I ever worried about?"
Don't waste your time trying to figure out what people want you to be. Find out what YOU want. And ask Stephen about Brandon's wife's brother. The oldest one. You'll like him a lot. Just…don't hurt him, okay? Oh. And, when you get there…it'll be a boy. wink
22-year-old Dup.
