A service that thousands of county residents rely on will be hit by federal sequestration cuts.
The Housing Authority of Monterey County said this week it will lose about $850,000 in federal money and is unsure what its final budget will be for the rest of the year.
"We're operating in the blind," said Lynn Santos, the authority's finance director.
About $30 million goes into the county each year by way of Section 8 funds — money given to landlords for individuals who need assistance paying rent.
Santos said cuts could mean the number of tenants it gives assistance to — 3,700 county residents — would be reduced and the already large waiting list would grow.
"Clearly cuts of this size are not sustainable when you consider that the 2014 budget could include additional cuts," she said.
The only thing the authority knows for sure is 31 percent of its Section 8 administration fees, which primarily pays for its 82-person staff and office expenses, will be cut.
The amount for administration of this federal fiscal year is $2.8 million, but Santos warns the number could be lower when they get a 2013 budget from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
HUD also gives the housing authority $550,00 for public housing units and $367,000 for its Pueblo Del Mar project at Fort Ord.
The reason the housing authority does not yet know the extent of the cuts is because Congress voted Thursday to continue to fund HUD at 2012 levels, which still contains sequestration cuts, until Sept. 30. The plan has to be signed by President Barack Obama and afterward the department needs to let district offices know how much they will have.
Jean Goebel, the executive director of the county housing authority, expressed frustration Thursday.
"This is no way to run a government, much less a business," she said. "Nobody plans like this ... How do we do business not knowing how much money we'll be allotted to run the programs?"
The head of the federal department, Secretary Shaun Donovan, gave the Senate Committee on Appropriations some idea of what the impact could be two weeks before the $85 billion in spending cuts hit.
About 125,000 individuals and families would lose access to Section 8 funds, cuts to administration fees could result in district offices closing, 100,000 people could be removed from public housing, 7,300 fewer people with AIDS would be eligible for its housing program and 900 fewer Native American families would be able to obtain housing loan guarantees, he said.
"These cuts would be deeply destructive, would damage the economy," he said, "and would harm numerous families, individuals and communities across the nation that rely on HUD programs."
Santos said the longer the housing authority waits to find out the extent of the cuts, the worse it will be.
"When funding amounts are known, the impact will be drastic for the remainder of the year," she said, "in order to compensate for the reductions that did not occur earlier in the year."
Even if federal funds are higher than expected, the housing authority already cannot help everyone. There are 3,475 people on the waiting list for Section 8 funds. It hasn't allowed new applications for 55 months.

Agriculture has a high demand for a qualified, educated labor force. As world population grows, so does the demand for agricultural products.
Agriculture has transformed from a traditional producer-based image to a global consumer-driven food and energy industry, full of cutting-edge science and technology. The USDA reports through 2015 there will be a shortage of qualified college graduates ready to enter the agriculture, food and natural resource industry. Human capital is an issue for businesses both large and small, government agencies, associations and production enterprises. Historically ,agriculturalists came from a farm or ranch background and filled the shoes of the previous generation. But that isn't always the case today.
In fact, many agriculturists of my generation will have no traditional connection to agriculture. Regardless of background, the next generation of agriculture leaders needs to have a broad skill set to be successful.
Industry professionals emphasize the need for students entering the workforce to be equipped with soft skills essential for communication, decision making and problem solving. These skills are learned through hands on experiences associated with leadership positions in internships and student and professional organizations rather than in the traditional classroom.
Agriculture Future of America is one professional organization that provides soft skill development opportunities. AFA supports collegiate men and women and young professionals preparing for careers in agriculture through leader development, scholarships and internship support. AFA's programs aid in the development of human capital for the agriculture and food industry.
These programs are based on four programmatic pillars: self-assessment, communication, managing change and lifelong learning. AFA places a high priority on quality of students and programming. All students engaged in AFA training are chosen through a competitive selection process.
As a student, I have personally benefitted from AFA leader training at the AFA Policy Institute, AFA Animal Institute and AFA Leaders Conference. My academic coursework has taught me practical skills related to agricultural journalism, but AFA has taken my coursework a step further, and helped me grow as a young professional in the agriculture industry. AFA has given me the confidence to approach employers and market myself and my skill set.
This blog series is a joint effort from AFA and Vance Publishing to focus on AFA's programmatic pillars to help you expand your skill set by tapping into professional development insights from industry leaders and past AFA participants.

Jason Sullivan, 30, of North Platte, was sentenced Monday to 300 days in the county jail, with credit for 135 days served. Sullivan was originally charged with disposing of stolen property, but the charge was reduced to being an accessory to a felony.
Deputy County Attorney Tanya Roberts-Connick asked Rowlands to send Sullivan to the county jail instead of the state penitentiary.
I have already sent several of your co-defendants to the pen but you were not directly involved in the burglary and do not deserve penitentiary time, Rowlands said.
In all, seven people faced charges connected with the Kohler burglary.
Sheriffs investigators also seized a black Honda Passport from Sullivan that prosecutors said was bought with proceeds from the Kohler burglary. While searching the car, they found a substance they suspected to be meth.
Sullivan has claimed that he has disposed of all the property he received from the Kohler thefts, so other than the car, it was unrecoverable.
Kohlers was robbed on May 22 and sheriffs deputies began making arrests a week later. They found Jacob Moser and Cody Jolliffe on June 1. The two men were said to be the leaders in the burglaries.
Jolliffe, 29, was sentenced to 7-17 years in the state penitentiary. Moser, 25, received consecutive sentences that amount to 6-12 years imprisonment.
Also on Monday, Cara Harder, 28, of Grand Island was sentenced to 230 days in the county jail after she pled no contest to possession of amphetamine and receiving stolen property.
Harder was indirectly involved in the Kohler burglary. On June 5 Lincoln County sheriffs deputies went to a motel south of I-80 looking for her because they believed she had some of the stolen property. They found her and much more.
When Harder opened the motel room door, deputies told her she was being arrested. She asked if she could retrieve some personal belongings before going with them. When she went into the room to get the items, she allowed deputies into the room where they saw drugs (suspected methamphetamine) and drug paraphernalia, earning her the drug charges.
In other court action, teenager Nicholas Wilcox of North Platte was sentenced to a year probation plus the 130 days he has already served in the county jail for burglary of a woman's house.
Wilcox, 19, was also ordered to undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation by Lincoln County District Judge Donald Rowlands.
Lincoln County Attorney Rebecca Harling asked for the probation instead of a penitentiary sentence mostly because of the age of the defendant and also because his prior record is minimal.
Rowlands agreed that Wilcox should not go to the pen, at least not at this time.
Because of your age I do not want to send you to the pen, Rowlands said, but, if you do not adhere to the terms of your probation and cooperate with your probation officer, the penitentiary could be a real possibility.
Cortney Hansen, 33, of North Platte, was sentenced to 90 days in jail, with credit for 43 days served, on reduced charges of terroristic threats and third-degree assault. Rowlands also put Hansen on two years probation.
Lincoln County Attorney Rebecca Harling told the court the she normally asks for penitentiary time in a case like this, given the charges and prior record. But, Harling said that the victim had asked her to consider county jail and probation.
Your prior record does go way back and most of your offenses are connected to drugs and alcohol, Rowlands said. Penitentiary time would be normal, but, the victim has gone to bat for you to the extent that I am willing to try probation.
Hansen was charged with using a firearm to commit a felony after he threatened his girlfriend and himself with a rifle. Police said Hansen had been drinking when he arrived at his girlfriends house around midnight April 18. He stayed there through the night making suicidal and threatening comments, while pointing the rifle at himself and others.
Hansen was arrested the morning of April 19, evaluated and sent to Kearney for treatment. He was released a few days later, brought to the Lincoln County Jail and charged with terroristic threats, felony child abuse and use of a weapon to commit a felony.
Hansen has been arrested 20 times in Lincoln County since 2000. Prosecutors said his record dates back to 1994.
This report has been corrected: Nicholas Wilcox was not involved in the burglary of Kohler Trailer Sales as initially reported, according to court records.

Noel Gallagher Insists Oasis Would Only Reunite If He Went Broke
Oasis fans waiting patiently for the band to reunite may be waiting forever — guitarist and chief songwriter Noel Gallagher insists that the band will only get back together if he or his brother Liam ever become totally broke. And with Noel and Liam each boasting an estimated net worth of $50 million, don't expect that to happen any time soon, if ever.
"What would it take [for Oasis to reunite]? It would take Liam or myself to be very skint, and I know for a fact that ain't gonna happen," the High Flying Birds frontman said during a recent interview on the British Channel 4 show, 'Chatty Man.' "So other than that, I can't see it."
Meanwhile, Noel also discussed the approach he will take with his children when they are old enough to become curious about drugs. The notorious substance abuser admitted that he's "dreading" his kids' upcoming teenage years, as he really has no leg to stand if he were to try to preach abstinence. Instead, he plans on offering some simple advice: "Everything in moderation, lads," explained the singer. "And just remember: You will never be as cool as your dad. Remember that."

Welcome to MPGH.
I am the seer in the dark,
the vagabond of yore,
I am the sum of all your parts,
and proprietor of all.
A miasma,
the conclusion,
blackmonger of Inlé,
Synapses fray,
my form now vivid,
as torpor sets and blood grows tepid.
With every ounce of flesh now offered,
I hold your corpse within my coffers.
Knitted cells now split asunder,
stand alongside me brother.
Take your place amongst my Owsla,
we march at dawn now and forever.
welcome to MPGH!

Nikkel Iron Works, manufacturer of the DARF hay rake, introduced the 513 "Heartlander" Overhead Rake at World Ag Expo.
The "Heartlander" rake was designed for hay, grass and alfalfa raking with the owner-operator having two to five annual cuttings. Many of the same features and components from the DARF 1017 have been incorporated into the 513, while its patent-pending tow bar design improves the rake's stability and allows for easy adjustment and operation.
The 513 has been field-tested under strenuous conditions and has functioned with outstanding results with operator comments, "This rake is a winner." The "Heartlander" continues the DARF tradition with an emphasis on gentle raking to preserve the leaf and maximize both nutrition and profitability.
The DARF 1017, introduced in 2012, has been enhanced with numerous additional standard features and upgrades as part of Nikkel's commitment to ongoing innovation, explained Bruce Shannon, sales manager.
Among the enhancements is a newly re-designed Fasse valve, now in limited production and offered as an option. It gives the operator the ability to operate both sides of the rake independently, including leaving one side completely closed, for flexibility in the field. The new valve set-up also includes a work light, which is magnetically mounted for easy placement and positioning.
A new heavy-duty raking wheel is now offered as an optional upgrade on the 1017 for those areas and applications demanding additional sturdiness.
Both DARF rakes will be on display at the Nikkel Iron Works exhibit space, located at O Street 32. For information, visit nikkelironworks.com, or contact sales manager Bruce Shannon at firstname.lastname@example.com or 559-999-1014.


text: Cartoons, and real life have you associated with hairballs being a normal part of cats life. Hairballs seem like nothing, right? Well, it is actually a sign of your cat maybe getting sick! Your cats cleans itself with it's tongue which picks up hair. But, normally that can be digested and passed through the intestines. If your cat is sick they tend to over consume hair and that causes hairballs to be coughed up! Usually a sign of something wrong with the digestive system. So, what used to be thought of as normal you now know might not be so good.

ASCO Annual Meeting
May 15, 2013
In early, ongoing research, the drug, idelalisib helped to shrink tumors for patients with recurrent or treatment-resistant chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). CLL is a slow-growing cancer and many patients do not need treatment until they start having symptoms. However, after treatment, most patients will have the disease come back, called recurrent or relapsed CLL. About 20% of patients will develop treatment-resistant or refractory CLL, meaning the disease comes back quickly or the original treatment did not work.
Idelalisib is a type of targeted therapy, a treatment that targets the cancer's specific genes, proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth and survival. Specifically, idelalisib stops an overactive protein called PI3K-delta that helps CLL grow and spread.
In this study, 54 patients with refractory or relapsed CLL that had worsened on several earlier treatments received idelalisib for around nine months. About two-thirds of the patients receiving idelalisib had their tumors shrink, generally in the first two months after starting treatment. Researchers also found that the drug kept the disease from worsening for about 17 months, and many patients noticed fewer symptoms of the disease, such as fatigue.
What this means for patients
"We are reaching a point in CLL where we have multiple treatments in development that are very effective. Drugs like idelalisib are probably going to change the landscape of the disease in the next few years," said lead study author Jennifer Brown, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts. "While this research is still early and ongoing, we hope this drug, along with others like it, will lengthen patients' lives and eventually help turn CLL into a condition that is treated like high blood pressure, where a patient can take a couple of pills every day. In the shorter term, these drugs may also provide an alternative to chemotherapy for older patients who may not be able to handle chemotherapy." Because idelalisib is still being researched, it is only available as part of a clinical trial. If you are interested in participating in a clinical trial, talk with your doctor for more information.
Questions to Ask Your Doctor
- What type of leukemia do I have?
- What treatments have I already received and what are my additional treatment options?
- What are the side effects of these treatments?
- What clinical trials are open to me?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A judge will wait until April 9 to make a decision on whether Michael Dunn should be granted bond.
A hearing Tuesday lasted nearly three hours and was filled with character witnesses called by the defense.
Dunn, 46, is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis outside a Gate gas station in November. Investigators say a dispute over loud music sparked the shooting.
Dunn appeared in court wearing a suit Tuesday afternoon, though he is still in custody. He waived his right to a speedy trial.
Dunn's lawyer, Cory Strolla, said his client fired at a SUV full of teenagers in self-defense. Strolla said Dunn has no violent criminal background and would ideally be kept under house arrest with GPS monitoring if granted bond.
"There's been cases in Duval County where defendants have been charged with murder and have criminal records and have got $100,000 bond, with criminal, violent backgrounds," Strolla said.
At Tuesday's hearing, Strolla also asked for suppression of certain records, such as witness statements and other information.
AUDIO: 911 calls in Jordan Davis case
IMAGES: Crime scene, evidence photos
State attorney Angela Corey asked the judge to keep Dunn behind bars until the case is decided.
Davis' parents say Dunn would be a danger if let loose and could be a flight risk because he not only owns a plane, but fled the scene without calling police or rescue the night of the killing and then returned to his home in Brevard County.
"We will not comment on the nature and probability of danger that the defendant's release poses to the community, but his act speaks for itself," said John Phillips, attorney for Davis' family.
"He fled at that time, so in our mind then that's something that easily you would do again," said Lucia McBath, Davis' mother.
"Not only did you shoot my son, but you tried kill the other three kids in the car, and those kids are still in fear of their lives," said Ron Davis, Jordan's father. "If he gets out, they will also be in fear of their lives."
Ron Davis said Tuesday was the most difficult day of court proceedings so far, having to deal with the possibility that the man charged in his son's death be released from jail.
According to Jacksonville police, Michael Dunn stopped on the way from the wedding to his hotel at the Gate gas station on Southside Boulevard at Baymeadows Road. While his girlfriend was inside, he got into a confrontation over loud music…
In court, he gave a long and uncomfortable stare toward Dunn, and Dunn appeared to stare back. Neither said anything.
"We probably hurt more than anybody in that courtroom," Davis said. "We're going to put our faith in Judge (Suzanne) Bass to do the right thing."
Strolla said his client has always cooperated with police and will continue to do so.
"He did call police the next day. He did call authorities the next day," Strolla said. "He went home to Brevard County, where he has friends in law enforcement. He called them immediately and was in the process of turning himself in when the SWAT team showed up at his house to arrest him."
Crime scene photos show the red SUV Davis was in riddled with bullets. In one photo, nine bullet holes can be counted. Orange sticks in the photos show trajectory and where several bullets entered the back seat.
According to an autopsy report, Davis was shot three times -- once in the abdomen and chest, and in both his right and left thigh. The bullet in his torso went to his heart and major arteries, according to the report.
Three other teens in the vehicle were not hit.

Incontinence When Coughing
Please help! I have asthma which sometimes makes me cough. I recently got bronchitis and a sinus infection which made me cough a lot. I missed a whole week of work, not because I was too sick to work but because I was coughing so much my clothing would end up soaked in urine multiple times per day. I couldn`t possibly go to work in that state!
Please help me. I have an asthma doc who treats my asthma but he does not seem to want to address the issue of urinary incontinence. When I asked my primary care doc the answer was all about coughing, not about incontinence (i.e., using asthma meds to reduce coughing). But what about when I can`t help it? When you have asthma that makes you cough anyway, and then you get these other nasty bugs on top of it, there is no way you can completely avoid coughing (believe me, I`ve tried!!!!!).
In order to be of any assistance to you, we need to know your gender, age and parity. Also we need to know if you have pure stress incontinence or is it mixed with urgency. A urologist or urogynecologist will be able to help you by having answers to the above questions and a simple examination. Treatment is available based on severity of your condition.

London - For the past eight years the rest of men's tennis has watched in a mixture of admiration and frustration as four players have dominated the major competitions. At the dawn of another Grand Slam season, however, the hopes of a new generation of players are rising at last.
With Roger Federer reaching his 32nd birthday this year and doubts growing over Rafael Nadal's future following the Spaniard's withdrawal from next week's Australian Open, younger players such as Milos Raonic, Bernard Tomic and Grigor Dimitrov might feel that now is the time to make their move. While Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray may still be in their prime for several seasons to come, there is likely to be room at the top alongside the two 25-year-olds in the near future.
Nadal, who has not played since Wimbledon after a recurrence of his knee problems, is certain to be out of the top four by the end of the Australian Open. He will plummet further down the world rankings if he is not back and winning tournaments by the start of the clay-court season.
Federer, meanwhile, may also struggle to keep his place in the top group, especially as his schedule for 2013 has indicated a shift in priorities. The world No 2 will not play anywhere for seven weeks between Indian Wells in March and Madrid in April, meaning that he will miss the Masters Series tournaments in Miami and Monte Carlo.
The stranglehold of the big four in the Masters Series - the next level of competition below the Grand Slam tournaments - could be over already. Between them Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray had won 17 Masters titles in succession until David Ferrer ended the run in Paris two months ago.
The grip of three of the Fab Four on Grand Slam trophies has been even tighter. Following Marat Safin's victory in the Australian Open of 2005, only one of the subsequent 30 Grand Slam tournaments - the 2009 US Open, in which Juan Martin del Potro triumphed - was not won by Federer, Nadal or Djokovic. The 31st and most recent tournament in that sequence, last year's US Open, was won by Murray.
Statistics show that today's players tend to peak later in their careers than they have in the past, probably as a consequence of the greater physical demands of the modern game. However, it is also true that most Grand Slam champions win their first major titles in their early twenties. The chance of Grand Slam glory may already have passed by some of the recent mainstays in the world's top 10, such as 30-year-old Ferrer and even the 27-year-old Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Tomas Berdych.
There are no teenagers currently in the world's top 100, but there are players in their early twenties for whom the future is looking bright. Next week's Australian Open, which is the Grand Slam tournament where form is often the most difficult to predict and which has produced more than its share of surprise winners over the years, could see the door open for them at last.
Age: 22 World ranking: 15
In the last two years no man has been more frequently tipped for the top. The "Maple Leaf Missile", whose family moved from Montenegro to Canada when he was three, stands 1.96m and delivers thunderbolt serves. He hit 1002 aces in 2012 and won 82 per cent of points on first serve. Nevertheless, there is plenty more to Raonic's game, as he showed with victories over Andy Murray in Barcelona and Tokyo. He has won three titles but has yet to make a major impact at a Grand Slam tournament, his best runs having been ended in the fourth round by David Ferrer in Melbourne two years ago and by Murray in New York last year. However, time is on his side.
Grand Slam potential *****
Age: 20 World ranking: 68
The second youngest player in the world's top 100 (after Bernard Tomic), Harrison has a huge forehand and a powerful serve, but there have been occasions when his temperament has let him down. He has a reputation as a hothead and when he gets angry his game can suffer. He comes from a tennis family, started playing the game at two and has been based at Nick Bollettieri's academy since 2008. He reached three semi-finals last year, including two on grass, at Eastbourne and Newport. Although he has improved his year-end world ranking for the past five years in a row, there is a danger that the American public, desperate to find their next male Grand Slam singles champion, will expect too much too soon.
Grand Slam potential ***
Age: 20 World ranking: 64
Tomic announced his arrival as a major contender with a run to the Wimbledon quarter-finals two years ago, but his career has been dogged by controversy. Coached by his outspoken father, Tomic has been involved in a series of disputes within tennis, while his love of fast cars has landed him in trouble with the police. When he gives his all on court, however, he is the most exciting talent to have emerged in men's tennis in recent times. The former world junior No 1, who has been the youngest player in the world's top 100 for two years, has a wonderfully languid style and loves the big occasion, as he showed when beating Novak Djokovic in the Hopman Cup in Perth last week.
Grand Slam potential *****
Age: 22 World ranking: 26
Twelve months ago Janowicz was ranked No 222 in the world and had never played in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament. He beat Simone Bolelli and Ernests Gulbis on his Grand Slam debut at Wimbledon and capped a year of outstanding progress by reaching the Paris Masters final in November, beating four top 20 players in Andy Murray, Janko Tipsarevic, Marin Cilic and Philipp Kohlschreiber before losing to David Ferrer.
Standing 2.03m and weighing more than 90kg, Janowicz has the big-hitting game to match his physique. He strikes a huge forehand, enjoys playing on all surfaces and looks to have plenty of scope for improvement. He started playing tennis at five and grew up idolising Pete Sampras.
Grand Slam potential ****
Age: 23 World ranking: 18
If Grand Slam titles were decided on talent alone Nishikori would be a very short price to make his breakthrough soon. The most successful male player in Japanese history has an inventive game and a wonderful touch. Doubts remain about his physical strength, but he has recovered from injury problems to enjoy his best run yet. Nishikori went to Nick Bollettieri's Florida academy when he was 14 and could not speak a word of English. He won his debut title at Delray Beach at 19 but his career was then derailed by a serious elbow injury which required surgery. His second title came four and a half years later, in October 2012, when he became the first home player to win the Japan Open.
Grand Slam potential ***
Age: 21 World ranking: 41
Eyebrows were raised in 2009 when Dimitrov, then the world No 361, was awarded a wild card at Queen's Club, but the judgement of Chris Kermode, the tournament director, has since been vindicated. An elegant player with a style often compared to Roger Federer's, Dimitrov underlined his potential at last week's Brisbane International, where he beat Milos Raonic, Jürgen Melzer and Marcos Baghdatis en route to his first career final before losing to Andy Murray. Dimitrov, who reached the semi-finals at Queen's last summer, was based in France for four years but at the end of last season moved to Sweden, where he is now coached by Mikael Tillstrom.
Grand Slam potential ****
Age: 22. World ranking: 50
Goffin made his Grand Slam bow at last year's French Open, where he became the first "lucky loser" from qualifying to reach the last 16 of a Grand Slam tournament since 1995 before he lost to Roger Federer. His slight frame hides great stamina - he beat Radek Stepanek and Arnaud Clément in five sets in Paris before losing to Federer - and he has an enterprising game. He did not win a match on the main tour until 2011 but beat Bernard Tomic and Jesse Levine at Wimbledon last year.

Here's a cool looking MTD Garden Stake Cart that I could not find anywhere on the web. All the wood, paint, wheels, and metal is in very good condition. I currently use as a planter under a covered porch and pull out into the sun occasionally. I saw everyone on their computer phones looking pre-auction, but only a few took me up to $12. I'm not sure if it is old, or just looks old. Kitty likes taking rides in it, she is brave and trusts me : )

Topic: Curcumin Study
Curcumin suppresses proliferation and induces apoptosis in human biliary cancer cells through modulation of multiple cell signaling pathways.

Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen 40002, Thailand.
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a tumor with poor prognosis that is resistant to all currently available treatments. Whether curcumin, a nutraceutical derived from turmeric (Curcuma longa), has potential therapeutic activity against human CCA was investigated using three CCA cell lines (KKU100, KKU-M156 and KKU-M213). Examination of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity, phosphatidylserine externalization, esterase staining, caspase activation and poly-adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase cleavage demonstrated that curcumin inhibited proliferation of and induced apoptosis in these biliary cancer cells. Colony-formation assay confirmed the growth-inhibitory effect of curcumin on CCA cells. When examined for the mechanism, curcumin was found to activate multiple cell signaling pathways in these cells. First, all CCA cells exhibited constitutively active nuclear factor (NF)-κB, and treatment with curcumin abolished this activation as indicated by DNA binding, nuclear translocation and p65 phosphorylation. Second, curcumin suppressed activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 as indicated by decreased phosphorylation at both tyrosine(705) and serine(727) and inhibition of janus kinase-1 phosphorylation. Third, curcumin induced expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma. Fourth, curcumin upregulated death receptors, DR4 and DR5. Fifth, curcumin suppressed the Akt activation pathway. Sixth, curcumin inhibited expression of cell survival proteins such as B-cell lymphoma-2, B-cell leukemia protein xL, X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein, c-FLIP, cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein (cIAP)-1, cIAP-2 and survivin and proteins linked to cell proliferation, such as cyclin D1 and c-Myc. Seventh, the growth inhibitory effect of curcumin was enhanced in the IκB kinase-deficient cells, the enzyme required for nuclear factor-kappaB activation. Overall, our results indicate that curcumin mediates its antiproliferative and apoptotic effects through activation of multiple cell signaling pathways, and thus, its activity against CCA should be further investigated.

With one game down in Week 11 and 13 more to go on Sunday and Monday, Sporting News' network of NFL correspondents examines a hot topic for every team:
For years, the vast majority of Patriots fans subscribed to the phrase: "In Bill we trust." That trust in coach Bill Belichick may be slipping this season, however.
Even though the Patriots have won three straight games, there is unrest among the fan base. Longtime problems—an inconsistent pass rush and substandard secondary—continue to be problems.
There are questions about draft picks, about coaching, about play-calling. And with Tom Brady now 35, there is a fear New England won't put the pieces around him to win another Super Bowl before his run is done.
Belichick coached up a patchwork defense last year and got the team to the Super Bowl, but there is growing concern, and rightfully so, that that may not happen again this year with a young team that can't seem to close out games.
—Shalise Manza Young
AFC East
Buffalo Bills: The Buffalo Bills may have found a gem in defensive end Kyle Moore. A fourth-round draft pick of the Buccaneers in 2009, the Bills signed Moore off the Detroit practice squad in November 2011. He has started the past two games, with Mark Anderson and Chris Kelsay sidelined, and flashed pass-rush potential. Moore put up his first two career sacks in the past three weeks and gave Dolphins Pro Bowl left tackle Jake Long all he could handle in Buffalo's 19-14 win Thursday night. Moore still needs to develop as a run stopper. —Jay Skurski
Miami Dolphins: Forget the notion that Reggie Bush is an elite running back—or even the Dolphins' top running back. He hasn't rushed for 100 yards since Week 2, had another abysmal performance against the Bills (20 yards) Thursday night and for the fourth straight game had fewer carries than Daniel Thomas (12 to 10). Bush appears to be running hesitantly and doesn't seem to be a good fit in the Dolphins' zone running game. Don't be shocked if the Dolphins let him walk away in free agency and move forward with Thomas and Lamar Miller. —Ben Volin
New York Jets: Coach Rex Ryan ripped the "cowardly" players, in his opinion, who anonymously criticized Tim Tebow in a published report. But what is more important going forward is that Ryan start cleaning up those leaks by letting players know there are consequences for such things. Ryan is well-known as a players coach, and thus players take liberties with him. That lack of institutional control sometimes carries over to the field and can be blamed for the lack of overall discipline and some of the repeated mental mistakes made by this 3-6 team. A tighter ship in the locker room might translate into more cohesive performances on the field. —J.P. Pelzman
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens: Keep an eye on cornerback Chris Johnson, formerly of the Raiders. The Ravens signed him this week shortly before they announced starting second-year cornerback Jimmy Smith (groin surgery) would miss the rest of the regular season. This is the second starting cornerback to suffer a major injury. Lardarius Webb is out for the season after tearing his ACL in Week 6. Smith had been starting for Webb. Now Corey Graham will replace Smith and Chykie Brown will play the nickel until Johnson learns the defense. Johnson is an eight-year veteran and has decent speed, so he will likely replace Brown and then challenge Graham for the starting spot. The Ravens are ranked No. 26 in pass defense, allowing 258.2 yards per game. —Mike Preston
Cincinnati Bengals: If the Bengals are going to get a win in Kansas City and get back to .500, they are going to need a good game from the run defense. Jamaal Charles ran for over 100 yards the last time the two teams met and the Bengals have allowed two backs this season to go over the century mark. The run D has improved over the past couple games. One reason for that is Rey Maualuga has dropped 20 pounds and has been improved against the run and in coverage. —Joe Reedy
Cleveland Browns: The Browns need to establish an identity on offense that can be their mark when the team tries to return to relevance in 2013. Here's a plan that could work: Ride running back Trent Richardson hard but spell him every fourth series or so. Identify Josh Gordon and Greg Little as the top two wideouts, while working slot receiver Josh Cooper and speedster Travis Benjamin into the mix. Last and perhaps most important, they need to get more efficiency from quarterback Brandon Weeden. —Steve Doerschuk
Pittsburgh Steelers: James Harrison will play in his sixth consecutive game Sunday night, when the Steelers meet the Ravens. Harrison missed the entire offseason, training camp and first three games of the regular season with a knee injury. And it is apparent he is not even close to being the player who was the NFL's defensive player of the year four years ago. The biggest issue is he can't bend his knee and therefore can't get the leverage he relies on so much. Harrison has played nearly every snap since returning—remarkable considering he missed so much training time. The coaches say he is still doing a good job protecting the edge against the run and even in coverage. Still, it is apparent he is not the impact player he was—nor will be the rest of the year. —Gerry Dulac
AFC South
Houston Texans: The season is a series of tests, and now the Texans have to pass the next one. They made a statement against the Bears at Soldier Field: They can defeat a good team on the road in terrible conditions. Now the Texans have to show they can avoid a letdown against one of the worst teams in the league. The Texans are 8-1. Jacksonville is 1-8. So far, the Texans haven't looked beyond an opponent. In their eight victories, no team has come within six points of defeating them. With a Thanksgiving Day game coming up at Detroit, the Texans have to prove they won't look past the Jaguars toward the turkey and dressing in the nationally televised game against the Lions. —John McClain
Indianapolis Colts: Interim coach/offensive coordinator Bruce Arians has been aggressive in his approach and handling of rookie quarterback Andrew Luck. He's been attacking defenses with intermediate and long passes, putting the pressure on secondaries. That has to continue Sunday at New England. The Colts' pass defense has been spotty and is missing starting corners Jerraud Powers (on IR with a toe injury) and Vontae Davis (knee). Tom Brady is going to pile up the yards and points. It's imperative for Luck to keep up with Brady and keep the heat on New England's No. 29-ranked pass defense. The Colts won't win a low-scoring ballgame. Luck needs to be on top of his game in a hostile environment. —Mike Chappell
Jacksonville Jaguars: Sunday's matchup with the Texans is just four days off from the two-year anniversary of the Jaguars' last win over Houston, a 31-24 victory that resulted from David Garrard's 50-yard Hail Mary pass to Mike Thomas on the game's final play. It's amazing how the fortunes of both teams have been reversed since that day. The Jaguars are 9-32 since the Garrard-Thomas connection. They now share the NFL's worst record (1-8) with Kansas City and have to wonder when things will turn around. That Hail Mary pass was supposed to be a sign of a bright future, but just the opposite has happened. —Gene Frenette
Tennessee Titans: The Steelers (6-3) could be without Ben Roethlisberger for several weeks. The surprising Colts (6-3) have a schedule that includes games at New England and at Houston. The Titans (4-6) have reason to believe the current AFC wild card leaders are capable of coming back to the pack. Yet they have provided no reasons to believe they're consistent enough to get on a winning streak to put themselves in contention for a playoff spot. So far, they have to win more than two straight games. They became the first team in NFL history to win by 30 points a week after losing by 30. Those types of wild swings make you wonder whether they can get their act together. —Jim Wyatt
AFC West
Denver Broncos: If 2009 first-round pick Robert Ayers wants to shed his "bust" label, Sunday could represent his best opportunity. Ayers had been relegated to spot duty most of the season until Elvis Dumervil injured his shoulder in Carolina last week. Ayers stepped in and responded with arguably the best game of his career: a sack, two pass breakups and two tackles for loss. Should Dumervil not play Sunday, Ayers would have another chance to make a statement for more playing time. And though he is unlikely to become a permanent starter this year, another strong effort could compel the Broncos to move Derek Wolfe inside in 2013, which would restore Ayers to his previous starting spot at left end. —Andrew Mason
Kansas City Chiefs: The Chiefs should use Sunday's game against Cincinnati as a chance to get quarterback Ricky Stanzi some playing time. Though he has returned to full practice duty after his recent concussion, Brady Quinn has yet to be cleared to play in a game, so Matt Cassel will start against the Bengals. Quinn will likely return for next week's game against the Broncos, so the Cincinnati game is a good time to get some plays for Stanzi, a fifth-round pick last year who hasn't taken a snap in a regular season game. The Chiefs will be looking for quarterbacks for next season, and it's time to find out whether Stanzi can be a competent backup or if the Chiefs should move on. —Adam Teicher
Oakland Raiders: If the Raiders lose to New Orleans on Sunday, they'll be 3-7 and pretty much out of the playoff race. If so, it's time for coach Dennis Allen and G.M. Reggie McKenzie to start shifting their sights toward 2013. That means taking long looks at young players such as running back Taiwan Jones, wide receiver Juron Criner and quarterback Terrelle Pryor, as well as players they may not be sure about bringing back (middle linebacker Rolando McClain, linebacker Aaron Curry and defensive tackle Tommy Kelly). Allen and McKenzie need all the information they can get when continuing the rebuilding process in an offseason that figures to be full of roster upheaval. —Steve Corkran
San Diego Chargers: Finish or be finished. Through nine games, a failure to close out games has haunted the Chargers, losing against the Saints, Broncos and Buccaneers after leading in the second half. Philip Rivers has a 56.5 quarterback rating in the fourth quarter, worst in the NFL among starters. He's thrown six of his 12 interceptions in the final period. The Chargers (4-5) must improve Sunday against a Broncos team that knows how to close. No team has more sacks after the first half than Denver, and quarterback Peyton Manning's 121.8 fourth quarter passer rating is second in the league. In the last matchup against Denver, the Chargers became the first team in NFL history to turn a 24-point halftime lead into a double-digit loss. —Michael Gehlken
NFC East
Dallas Cowboys: Now that receiver Dez Bryant has been able to resolve the misdemeanor family violence charge against him, look for him to break out even more on the field. A burden has been lifted off his shoulders, allowing him to focus mainly on football and being the best player he can be. Although Bryant has caught 45 passes for 590 yards and three touchdowns, his play has been offset by bouts of inconsistency, including dropped passes and busted routes. He has improved lately and now can truly play worry free. —Clarence Hill
New York Giants: If this bye week doesn't go a long way toward healing what ails wide receiver Hakeem Nicks, the Giants might have to be resigned to Nicks having a subpar season. He was slowed early in the season coming off a broken right foot, then missed three games dealing with the foot and also swelling in his left knee. His production is down and his ability to beat double-coverage and make explosive plays down the field has been severely limited. Nicks has only 36 receptions and one touchdown and is averaging 12.9 yards per catch. The Giants are hoping his most recent game—a nine-catch, 75-yard effort in Cincinnati—is a sign of things to come. —Paul Schwartz
Philadelphia Eagles: The organization and players are doing their best to alleviate the pressure on rookie quarterback Nick Foles by avoiding any "savior" references. The reality is if Foles can help the team break its five-game losing streak by leading the Eagles to a win against the Redskins, he'll give the entire team some reason to hope the season isn't totally over—and that's about as close to being a savior as possible. Quarterback changes can sometimes provide the spark a team need to gets its season back on track. Only two of the team's next seven opponents currently have winning records, so the chance to make a run is there. —Geoff Mosher
Washington Redskins: The Redskins have a dismal record against rookie quarterbacks, having lost eight straight to newbies. But their real problem with Philadelphia isn't Nick Foles, it's receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin and running back LeSean McCoy. None of them is having a great season, but all have hurt Washington in the past. All Foles needs to do is make quick decisions and find the playmakers. The trick for Washington is manufacturing a pass rush that can bother Foles. One suggestion: keep moving linebacker Ryan Kerrigan around. His best success has come when they use him a little on the right and in the middle as well as slant him inside on occasion. —John Keim
NFC North
Chicago Bears: Jay Cutler's concussion only underscores the greatest problem facing the Bears. They haven't addressed their offensive line in a proper fashion through the draft or free agency. They've taken the cheap route, saying Mike Tice can coach up a line of misfit parts that includes two seventh-round picks. Cutler has been scrambling for his life, and frequently has no open targets because the line is max-protecting with fewer targets in patterns. The Bears thought they had supplied Cutler with enough weapons to win, but that was only a tease if they can't buy him enough time to use them. —Gene Chamberlain
Detroit Lions: Sunday's game against the Packers—and really the next six weeks—will be a referendum on the Lions' offseason philosophy. Faced with serious questions about their secondary, the Lions shunned the big-ticket acquisition and tried patching holes with a few late-round draft picks. Midway through November, they're dealing with familiar injury and depth concerns heading into a difficult seven-game stretch against some of the league's best passing attacks. If their secondary folds again, the Lions will need to take a more proactive approach this spring or risk seeing their window for a championship run close altogether. —Dave Birkett
Green Bay Packers: As bad as Detroit's secondary might be, here's why it won't be the determining factor in Sunday's game. The Lions will dominate at the line of scrimmage and make quarterback Aaron Rodgers' life miserable. They've done it before. The combination of dome noise and the Lions' quickness off the ball will shut down the Packers' offense. With Evan Dietrich-Smith at left guard and Jeff Saturday at center the line will not be able to physically handle Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley. Pressure up the middle will disrupt the flow of the offense. All the Lions have to do is make sure they don't let Rodgers run for a ton of yards. —Tom Silverstein
Minnesota Vikings: G.M. Rick Spielman needs to extend the contracts of dynamic receiver Percy Harvin and coach Leslie Frazier as soon as possible after the season ends. Both have contracts through the 2013 season, but neither is expected to start next season without a contract extension. Spielman has a history of rewarding core players with long-term deals the year before their rookie contracts expire. So Harvin will get his money. And lots of it. As for Frazier, he has proved to be the steady hand to guide this young team into the future. Players respect and admire him. And his egoless nature is exactly what Spielman and the team needs long-term. —Mark Craig
NFC South
Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons, under former coordinator Mike Mularkey, were perhaps the premier power rushing attack in the league. With fullback Ovie Mughelli leading the way for Michael Turner, they powered through defenses. Since Mughelli suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 7 of last season, the Falcons have not been able to run the ball in short-yardage situations. Last week against the arch-rival Saints, a drive stalled after the Falcons drove to the 1-yard line. Mughelli was in training camp with the Rams and was cut, so it may be the end of the line for him. But the Falcons need to work him out and see if he has anything left in the tank. —D. Orlando Ledbetter
Carolina Panthers: Before the season started, most observers liked the Panthers' offensive line but had questions had about the defensive line. So much for that. While the offensive line has struggled since the season-ending injury to Pro Bowl center Ryan Kalil, the defensive line has been the team's strength. Ends Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy have combined for 15 sacks, the second-highest total for a duo behind Denver's Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil (17). Meanwhile, tackles Dwan Edwards and Ron Edwards have been the run-stuffers the Panthers had long lacked. The Panthers' defense has kept the team in games. The offense—the line in particular—hasn't held up its end. —Joe Person
New Orleans Saints: The defense proved its mettle with two goal-line stands in the fourth quarter against the Falcons last week. But they still gave up too many deep balls and more than 400 passing yards. The test this Sunday at Oakland—and for the rest of the year—will be to see if they can finally reduce the big passing plays. That will especially be true against the Raiders, who should be somewhat one-dimensional because of injuries at running back. The Saints need to force Oakland to earn its way downfield rather than allowing the quick-strike scores that have haunted them. —Mike Triplett
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The play of the offensive line has been nothing short of remarkable. Despite the loss of Pro Bowl guards Davin Joseph and Carl Nicks and the inability of incumbent right tackle Jeremy Trueblood to keep his job, the makeshift line has done as good a job as any protecting its quarterback. The Bucs have allowed only 13 sacks and 26 QB hits—the second-fewest in the league in both categories. The unit has also paved the way for the league's fourth-leading ground gainer, Doug Martin. O-line coach Bob Bostad has long had a reputation for making five pennies look like a nickel, and he's certainly done that with this season. —Roy Cummings
NFC West
Arizona Cardinals: There haven't been a lot of positive things about this season. But at least the Cardinals know now that Kevin Kolb is a better quarterback than John Skelton. Kolb was at least efficient when he was healthy, completing nearly 60 percent of his passes with eight touchdowns and three interceptions. Skelton played better against the Packers two weeks ago, but his inaccuracy hurt the team in his previous three starts. He has a 55.8 completion percentage, with two touchdowns and five picks. The Cardinals face a difficult decision in the offseason if neither Kolb nor Skelton impresses over the next seven weeks. —Kent Somers
St. Louis Rams: After running the gauntlet of three Super Bowl contenders (Green Bay, New England and San Francisco), the playing field levels out for St. Louis over the next two Sundays. In the Jets (3-6) and Cardinals (4-5), the Rams face struggling teams that have trouble scoring. If the Rams are truly serious about showing progress in 2012 from their sad-sack ways of the past, these are games they must win. The Rams are relatively healthy, and there is growing confidence on offense after scoring 24 points at San Francisco. —Jim Thomas
San Francisco 49ers: Maybe this is the time to finally play running back Brandon Jacobs. Frank Gore is having an excellent season, but he has started to accumulate little injuries—something that affected Gore's production at midseason last year. Jacobs looked excellent in preseason before injuring his knee. He is now more than a month removed from a clean bill of health but has yet to play a snap in a 49ers uniform. He is beyond eager to see some action. —Matt Barrows
Seattle Seahawks: Cornerback Richard Sherman was the only starter from Seattle's secondary who did not play in the Pro Bowl last season, but he's the first one in line this year. He has four interceptions and last week had a sack and forced fumble on the first blitz of his NFL career. At 6-3, he has the size to bother opposing receivers, the quickness to stay with them and the hands—and confidence—to believe he could play receiver in the NFL, too. —Danny O'Neil

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Bryan Morris entered the game in the sixth inning with the bases loaded in relief of Jeff Locke and allowed all three runners to score.
That was the start of a bad night for Pirates relievers Monday that ended when Jared Hughes' throwing error in the 13th inning allowed the Giants to score the winning run as San Francisco rallied from six runs down to beat Pittsburgh 11-10.
"Well, it basically got to our location not being good," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said of his bullpen's struggles. "We were up in the zone more than we normally are."
Hughes (1-1) came on to start the 13th with the score tied 10-10. With one out, he walked Hunter Pence and hit Juan Perez with a pitch to put runners on first and second base.
Beefy reliever Jean Machi then came to the plate and was given the bunt sign for the first time in his 13-year professional career that stretches back to playing for the Philadelphia Phillies' farm club in the rookie-level Gulf Coast League in 2002.
Not only did Machi execute the bunt for a sacrifice, but he caused Hughes to rush a wide throw to first base. Pence scored on the error as San Francisco ran its winning streak to season-best six games and also won for the 10th time in 11 games.
The Pirates lost for the 18th time in 23 games.
"I saw (Hughes) got a late break off the mound and slipped and I knew I had to run hard," Machi said through a translator. "I was excited because I did my job. They wanted me to move the runners up and I did that."
After Sergio Romo pitched a scoreless 13th for his 10th save, Machi (5-0), who pitched two scoreless innings, wound up tied for the major league lead in victories with three starting pitchers — the Los Angeles Dodgers' Zack Greinke, St. Louis Cardinals' Adam Wainwright and Toronto Blue Jays' Mark Buehrle.
Machi spent two seasons in the Pirates' farm system in 2010-11.
The Pirates could have used Machi in this game. In addition to Morris' struggles, six relievers combined to give up four runs in 7 2-3 innings and were the primary culprit in Pittsburgh blowing the 8-2 lead it built after five innings.
Mark Melancon blew a save opportunity in the ninth when he gave up a run-scoring single by Buster Posey that tied the score at 10-10 and forced extra innings.
Locke was charged with six runs in 5 1-3 innings after being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis earlier in the day. The Pirates needed a spot starter after their rotation was scrambled last week by back-to-back rainouts in Baltimore.
Locke was an NL All-Star last year and then faltered in the second half. The left-hander went 8-2 with a 2.15 ERA in 18 starts before the break, but just 2-5 with a 6.12 ERA after that.
This year, Locke was 0-1 with a 5.68 ERA in four starts for Indianapolis. He was limited to just two innings in spring training because of a strained oblique muscle and began the season on the disabled list.
Locke said he felt no nervousness in his return to the major leagues.
"I really took it the same way I normally would," he said. "Came in, went over hitters the same way we normally would. It was literally the most comfortable I'd felt all season."
The Pirates' Andrew McCutchen had four hits, including a double and a triple, while Pedro Alvarez hit a three-run home run and drove in four runs.
Giants backup catcher Hector Sanchez had four hits and three RBIs, while Posey, who got a day off from catching, had three hits, three runs scored and two RBIs.
NOTES: Pirates RHP Jason Grilli played catch for the second time in three days but there is no timetable for when the closer, who is on the DL with a strained left oblique, will be able to throw off a mound. ... RHP Casey Sadler was optioned to Indianapolis to open a roster spot for Locke. ... San Francisco 1B Brandon Belt, who entered the game in a 2-for-29 slump, did not start but went 1-for-2 with a walk off the bench.

[OP-ED] Why fans feel angered when Korean idols 'change'
Change. Let's think about it for a moment. There is a lot of negative connotation behind the word. Who hasn't run across the phrase "They've changed" in forums and comments more than once? K-Pop fans hate when idols suddenly change or grow into something they didn't ask for.
But what makes change so bad - especially when it comes to a K-Pop idol? Well, it has been easily dissected into what makes fans so furious and how we can overcome the pain of change - without bashing or hating on any idol in particular.

Liriano's April woes keep up amid frigid weather
PITTSBURGH -- Francisco Liriano's open secret, hidden a year ago behind a broken right arm, is out: The guy and the month of April just don't get along.
Pirates fans couldn't be clued in to that in 2013, because Liriano did not make his first start until May 11, and immediately took off.
Good to go this time out of the gate, Liriano has so far contributed five winless starts to his lifetime April resume: a 5-17 record with a 5.84 ERA.
"Yeah, Aprils have been difficult for me," Liriano conceded, with a weak smile. "It's just the cold. My speed usually isn't there until it gets warmer and I feel looser. And I don't have a good feel for the ball on breaking balls."
Speaking of the early season cold weather -- generically, not in specific reference to Liriano, a native of the Dominican Republic -- Clint Hurdle noted a while back that "Latin pitchers hate that."
Colder temperatures obviously return at the end of the season. Sure enough, Liriano's career September record is 7-12, with an ERA of 5.48.
In the four months in-between, he is 57-36, and his highest ERA in any month is 4.04.
So the good news could be that Liriano has only one more April start remaining, then he can roar into May like a lion.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - The mother of a missing Hallandale Beach baby is trying to get the charges of child neglect dropped.
Brittany Sierra was arrested back in January, after it was discovered her son, Dontrell Melvin had been missing since 2011.
Police found what they believe to be Melvin's body in back of a home where she once lived with the boy's father, Calvin Melvin, Jr.
In a Local 10 exclusive, Bob Norman received police reports that indicated the body had blunt trauma to the skull caused by police during the recovery.
"The evidence has been compromised," said Former Broward Medical Examiner, Joshua Perper. "It's going to be a factor for both sides in this case."
He went on to tell Local 10, the damage done during the recovery could cover injuries that occurred prior to death.
Both parents face lesser crimes that could rise to homicide charges if the remains are confirmed to be of Dontrell Melvin.
The defense hearing to dismiss Sierra's charges is scheduled for 8:30 a.m.

Current students, faculty, and alumni share how an experiential learning environment involving an engaged community of world-class real estate participants has led to unparalleled career success for the program's students and alumni.
UNC Kenan-Flagler's Real Estate Program is well known for its engaged alumni and students, and the past year has been a shining example of that commitment.
The Panama and Cuba GIE focused on real estate and students met with two of the five major families in real estate in Panama.
Student managed investment fund helps UNC Kenan-Flagler MBA students spot real estate deals while managing real money. More
"UNC Kenan-Flagler offered me a great opportunity to learn from the high caliber faculty, peers, and the Real Estate course curriculum and speakers. Since graduating, I've found incredible value in the alumni network both nationally and in San Francisco, where UNC's Real Estate program's alumni are in leading roles. These connections have helped me in meetings, on transactions, and in getting involved on boards including ULI's Young Leaders and the UNC Bay Area Real Estate Alumni Network. In my Acquisitions role at DivcoWest, I travel frequently and no matter what market we're in, I've found a connection to UNC. The Real Estate program at Kenan-Flagler Business School made my experience at UNC and has been tremendously helpful for my career after."
"I chose to attend Kenan-Flagler Business School based on their strength in real estate finance/development and the opportunity to join the student managed Real Estate Private Equity Fund, something not offered at any other MBA program. The fund gave me real world experience in real estate investing and the ability to interact with the top notch faculty and alums of the program who were leaders in the field. I felt that I had a huge advantage when it came time to find a full time opportunity based on the experience that I had as well as the network that I had built."
"I look back on my decision on where to obtain my MBA, and the choice was a very clear one. I wanted to study real estate, and Kenan-Flagler had the most robust program. While at school, I was able to take advantage of an intense academic environment, while gaining exposure to real life real estate. I was able to hone my leadership skills as president of the MBA Real Estate Club, and was thrilled to be part of the winning team in the UNC Case Challenge. At Kenan-Flagler, I received a top tier education, and now put it to work in a career which I thoroughly enjoy."
"After graduating with a Real Estate Concentration from KFBS in 2010, I was well equipped for a Development Analyst position at The JBG Companies in Washington, DC. The investment and law courses provided a foundation of theory while the opportunity to participate in a national case study competition, Norman Block and Bob Slater's development courses, and Argus training reinforced an academic understanding with real world applications. I often rely on the principles I learned while at KFBS and, given the breadth of experience the concentration offers, advocate for alumni of the program when considering analyst candidates. In my experience, the Real Estate Concentration at KFBS is the best and most well-respected first step into real estate development or finance."
"To stay on top of changes in the real estate industry, our curriculum is continuously changing. We focus on the practical by offering students increasing levels of real-world exposure to the real estate industry and its issues." More

Close your eyes and think back to that one remarkable camp experience you wished could last forever, where you met new people and discovered things you didn't know about yourself. How quickly would you decide to relive it?
I remember my camp experience 10 years ago at Redwood Grove Nature Camp as if it were yesterday. Keith Gutierrez led the camp, enlightening campers about the towering redwoods and the ways the Ohlone Indians survived off the land in years past.
"Ranger Keith" had an enthusiasm for nature that cannot be replicated. Once he left Redwood Grove in 2008, the camp lacked the magic he brought to it.
Gutierrez has worked as a nature guide, teacher and enthusiast for more than 34 years, showing children all over the Bay Area how to stay in touch with and appreciate nature and past cultures. In addition to his time at Redwood Grove, he has worked at Hidden Villa and Deer Hollow Farm, sharing his passion for nature with tens of thousands of children.
Gutierrez now organizes school presentations and oversees summer camps. For the past five years, I have been a camp counselor at his A Touch of the Earth Summer Day Camps, where I have been able to relive and replay my childhood memories.
In recent years, attendance at the camps has declined, and there is now a possibility that this institution of learning could disappear and the experience I had when I was young could end.
Please join me in the fight to help save Gutierrez' nature camps. As we become a more technologically crazed society, we begin to lose touch with nature and all it has to offer.
A former camper recently wrote to Gutierrez about how his experiences at nature camps shaped who he is today:
"... Thank you for giving me such an amazing opportunity to attend camp at Redwood Grove. You provided me with my favorite camp experience of my childhood, and I have not and will never forget the joy of running free through the creek and eating the succulent blackberries.
"My last year as a camper also turned out to be your last year as caretaker, and now that I'm working for the city as a counselor, I see just how much has changed ... Even though the kids I see every week will never be as lucky to be shown nature through your eyes, I was lucky enough to be given that privilege, and for that I cannot thank you enough."
