Very useful resource indeed! Thanks for the effort!
Thanks mate, I do try at times.
I'm actually a WWII re-enactor so I've got a fair whack of kit so I'll be aiming to get as much as I can up on here. Just waiting for some decent light, the last few months has either been too dull, overcast or bright sunshine…. I've got other uniform pieces - every basic piece bar the M43 sets as they don't fit into the 2nd Ranger impression that my group does. Once that lt goes up then we'll have a pictorial thread of pretty much all that a non-airborne GI would be wearing so that can't be a bad thing, can it.
In about a month I'll be attending the biggest military vehicle show in Europe with the club's Chaffee's, a A1 Sherman and Hopefully the Jackson as well as a couple of weapon's carriers, jeeps and a M3 halftrack so I'll get some pictures of them for you guys as well as what everyone else has.
So a Member of Normandy44 then !!
Hell yeah, man!
Was briefly myself untill funds stopped me doing it. Hows Dale and the boys doing ?
I'll try to get some more photo's up on here in the next few weeks or so, once I've gotten over my, erm... flu variant. One pretty interesting item I picked up at last weeks War and Peace show was the M-1941 head toque which is basicaly a balaclava - a nice thing to paint onto a BaM mini for that freezing cold winter look.
Bag, Carrying Ammunition, M1, AKA the GP ammo bag. A bag of multiple uses thus General Purpose. Commonly seen being used by GI's in all situations for carrying anything from grenades, mags and amunition, explosives, medical supplies - basically anything they needed extra space for.
Inside there's a fold away pocket compartment which is handy for keeping thompson/grease gun mags from rattling around inside or for small things like pencils, small tools etc.
How it works is that there's two stiched on straps with hooks the same as the ones on the suspenders and haversacks and these can connect to the gromits on the belts and the hooks from the haversack and suspenders which allow it to be slung low like a holster. Most likely is it being used with the carrying strap which is the same one that went with the mussette pack. The strap was adjustable and had D-Rings at either end since both bags it was used for have hooks. The bag would go over the opposite shoulder and either sit as is, have the web belt over it to hold it in place or be tied to the body with string using the D-Rings attached to the main body of the bag.
This particular one is curious since it's made for the US army but in Britain (by way of paying of the war debt from the lend lease Shermans and Thompson machine Guns) out of British military web parts. The canvas and buckles arethe same as used on British packs and belts giving the general impression of being an oversiized British ammo pocket. Other items of british made web were made, mainly carlisle pouches, canteen covers, haversacks and the various belts.
In the case of the GP bag, the size is slightly longer by about 5cm/2"
Also, notice the clips on the British made item are different to those on the M-1928 haversack? With limited tooling those are what the british manufacturer came up with - a simple ugly design but more efficient and less inclined to break. The canvas is also very porous and sucks in moisture and dirt - the canvas afterall is the same as the British army and is supposed to be coloured by 'Blanco'. A number of the "British Made" M-1928 haversacks I've seen are also a very pea-ish green with tan edges. Nowhere near the OD7 shade of green - likely akin to GW's "Camo Green" with a yellow highlight.
Almost all Brit made items are dated 1944 which would position them in the European Theatre on 6th June 1944

Philip DiComo got a big surprise during law school when his wife—also a graduate student at the time—experienced a long-hoped-for pregnancy. Not only did DiComo have to balance school and a growing family, he had work commitments as well: DiComo, a vice president at a local West Palm Beach television station, had decided he would continue to work during school.
"Maybe there was less sleep, but it was important to me to continue to live up to my work requirements," he says.
Following are some tips on how to balance time, money, and family for grad school students who have children.
[Explore the best part-time MBA programs.]
1. Set reasonable expectations: DiComo decided he wasn't going to shoot for the top grades in the class so he could meet all his obligations. His classmates, "many of whom were not working or did not have kids," worried a great deal about academics, he says.
"Don't add to your stress by creating unreasonable expectations about yourself" or your partner, he says. "When I started law school I told myself that I would be okay just doing average. Turns out that being realistic helped me to relax, know my own limitations and I actually did incredibly well."
Patrick S. Osmer, vice provost of graduate studies and dean of the graduate school at Ohio State University recommends students with families set realistic timelines for graduation. He says students should ask themselves "Given your job and family, what does your path toward your degree need to look like? Should you be in a part-time program or full-time? Is there flexibility?"
[Discover the best online graduate degree programs.]
2. Look at all options for childcare: Look at all childcare options such as family, discounted childcare on campus, and coordinating work schedules with your spouse. According to a 2012 report from Child Care Aware of America, the cost of child care preschool averages between $4,000 and upwards of $13,000 per year, depending on the state.
DiComo had family help and coordinated work hours with his spouse. His mother-in-law stayed with them for a few months and his "wife also had a very flexible job at the time and was actually able to bring our daughter to work with her during the first year and a half after she was born."
However, the couple was unprepared for pre-school expenses, both the cost of the schools and supplies, he says. Parents should ask as early as possible what supply and field trips costs are throughout the year, experts say.
3. Don't forget to claim tax credits and deductions: Parents who are students can claim both education tax credits and deductions, as well child tax benefits. "Be sure to take advantage of additional tax deductions and/or benefits available to you, says Ryan Law, director of University of Missouri's Office for Financial Success. The America Opportunity Credit offers up to a $2,500 tax credit. However for parents "there are dependent exemptions, child tax credits, and deductions for child and dependent care expenses," Law says.
4. Borrow what you need, but don't forget to budget: DiComo funded his post-grad education with loans, borrowing a bit high to confirm he could cover the extra expenses that can arise from having a child. "My post-grad education was entirely funded by loans, and I guess I did borrow on the high side so that I knew I could cover extra those expenses," he says "I think the bigger issue was cutting out other expenses, which I think all new parents must do."

All Quattro- and several Multi inverter/chargers now have two AC outputs. In addition to the standard no-break output, an auxiliary output is available which disconnects the connected load during battery operation. It is, for example, the perfect solution for preventing an electric water heater from discharging your battery.

South Philly and Indiana governor Mitch Daniels today on fox shooting down speculation that.
He'd consider being Mitt Romney's running mate.
Well this after creating quite a stir this week when he told the Indianapolis Star news quote.
You have to campaign to golf or not just to win look at everything through the minds of people that get to would she Romney doesn't talk that way.
-- -- I'm Chris Wallace asked him about that controversial comment today on FOX News Sunday.
What did you mean when you said Romney doesn't -- -- why.
-- -- saying that that he he's got the right prescription for America.
He's he's meeting the objective that I hoped our party would -- of offering specific positive constructive.
-- and remedies for our debt problem -- are slow growth problem.
But as things go along I just want to encourage him to express these very same principles more often from the standpoint of the young the poor.
Those who have yet to -- start up the -- of life.
Let's bring back -- campaign insiders Doug shown -- -- -- ability AA.
Right Doug was -- -- it back there what well he was walking -- back a bit but not all the way he's basically saying.
Not only does there have to be a vision.
But there has to be an inclusive Republican Party and you know the problem with the Republicans the over the primary electorate is so conservative -- That Romney being severely conservative as he.
Characterized himself has not been inclusive like Jack -- or even Ronald Reagan right pat do you think Mitch Daniels.
Was actually telling the truth absolutely I -- I think he -- look what he talked about he's walked the walk he did it in reply to the state of the union.
Which we've talked about which -- thought was impressive for.
But that terrible thing to try to happy and so the president.
But he did he talk about a constructive idea for the Republican Party it up about the crisis of the country with a deficit is about helping the disadvantaged.
One of the things Republicans need to understand is that the matters in politics right how big it is you're saying don't have an attachment to voters showing you -- -- be -- speak for those who don't speak for themselves.
If it keeps the Republican groups being so hard -- class -- did you notice how -- was dressed today yes you see that we had to have an insurance open.
But I guess time I send you another -- that's Mitch Daniels in -- Romney ought to heed him.
Well at least he wasn't wearing and it's not to be vice president if -- -- Magnus sweater vest Leo well that -- that a.
-- -- -- Congressman you and your colleagues who put together a check list for the candidates and I want a very quickly name Romney's checklist you put together.
-- as a turnaround expert who will turn around the economy.
Project a positive inspirational message and here's -- one I want you to answer.
Look and act like -- president's stop trying to be likeable it is that what Mitch Daniels was sort of saying.
What you say and not the second personally -- saying got to inspire people with a positive message you put up a minute ago the poll showing that.
The people -- against Obama are voting for Romney and obviously that he's gonna get all the anti Romney votes.
But sitting out there in every one of these states are gonna be about 7%.
Of the vote who were on this side of -- -- can be won over in part by an inspirational.
Positive message from governor Romney and that's what he has a lot in his background to talk about where he can say.
Good things that he's -- to do not just trash Obama.
We're already into that now we can go beyond matter that's what -- -- we just have a bullet.
Think so and I think we have that we had he had an opportunity this week it didn't use it when the space shuttle was retired -- -- people's reaction.
The president is apparently yet for all federal experiment and federal spending except for space and and and cutting -- cutting defense.
This looked for Romney to be we'll talk about the idea that we can have this we can do things.
Would be very positive it's about American exceptional as a -- -- -- -- simply doesn't use another one is the corruption going on the watch that Wall Street Journal -- interesting thing.
People feel that President Obama has not change Washington they actually think Romney would change it more.
I got a fast forward to the checklist for the president going to be fair and balanced here now that you guys have come up with a following -- president use all of the presidential powers to goose economic growth.
He's Biden surrogates commercials super pacs and finally out organized state by state on the ground.
They're they're doing the third one they have an aggressive grassroots.
Campaign spent a lot of money -- hackable one big I -- -- exactly.
The one that I think -- most common is the first.
We don't have an idea from the president what his visions we've got a lot of attacks we've got a lot of positioning.
And covering there.
-- positions on energy but ultimately we don't know where the president is gonna take.
The country in the second term pat was talking about 1980 if we don't have a vision.
For the country going forward the president runs the risk of that happening.
That yeah well that's right because look what they're gonna ask -- what makes his next -- different from this -- other than you're not you opponent.
And that message -- we suffered in 1980 from not being able to produce that message and the Obama campaign seems to have the baby did it in favorable Michael mutual oracle.
I think we have time I -- juxtaposed to sound -- Obama then Romney take a listen.
I -- born with a silver spoon -- the president's a nice guy.
But we just can't afford him for four more years our kids can't afford it.
Congressman it's a preview of the respective team absolutely.
The president's -- -- class warfare thing given -- to this rich guy Romney right which that's not presidential.
And it really isn't right for president to attack his fellow Americans who have done wallets on American some I'm presidential and then the other one.
That's Romney being Smart he's saying he's -- nice guy.
But he's not up to the job and that ultimately is what's gonna take down Obama all right how a packet -- Doug -- congressman John -- -- -- -- to -- you are campaigning -- -- thank you so much guys.

About Me
- Started in retail and mail order back at the end of the seventies.
- Spent a while in magazine publishing.
- Got involve in creating web sites in 1994. Launched an early user-generated guide to the UK (now in its second decade, though I have no connection with it). Worked on early online promotions and even experimental online shops for various clients. Spent a lot of time trying to track visitors, as opposed to 'hits', using the log file analysis tools of the time.
- These days I have combined two strands from my career:
- Mail order customer experience from my retailing days
- On-line user experience and web analytics from my long on-line history to offer consultancy and analytics services to small/medium retailers.
- I usually work on a retainer basis on projects lasting months or years, but I also work on shorter engagements providing e-commerce site audits and analytics mentoring.
- Given my holistic approach to e-commerce I have a strong involvement in Usability, SEO and SEM, but with all but the smaller clients I work in conjunction with agencies specialising in those fields.

Where is my Paintcode?
Here is a picture of my 1949 Hudson Commodore 6 Top passenger hinge. Any tips/advice/help would be much appreciated to help find my paint code.
Wyotech Sacramento Grad 2013
- Collision and Refinishing
-Applied Service Management
NW Chapter
Collecting, Restoring and Selling Hudson's -
For your particular year,look for the paint code on your vehicle as a stamped single or a double number or letter if you have a 2 toned paint job. It should be in the vicinity of the upper door hinge on the passenger side door of your car. Sometimes it is stamped on the hinge-sometimes not. Sometimes there is no letter or number code at all. It is NOT on the vin tag on your car.
The four 49's I have had the hinge was stamped, but with rust? make A WILD GUESS.
One way would be to obtain paint sample chips, then compound the paint in some hidden area of the car where it wouldn't have been subject to sun damage. Then compare your car's paint to the chips. You could also sand down through the paint if you suspect the car was originally a different color. Paint chips come up on Ebay every once in awhile and some of the Hudson parts vendors sometimes have them for sale.
You could try sanding the rust off the door hinge. With luck the paint code may appear.

Jon B. has the right idea, looks like Peacock Green to me.
John -
Hi Christopher! Get a wire brush and start scrubbing; Jon is probably right, looks like a peacock green color
My door hinge was pretty rusty too. I sanded it a bit at a time and the code showed up. Problem is, it didn't match the codes on the paint chip set I had. Turns out, it's not Peacock or Oriental green - it's Hawaii green which was a late 1950 addition and included with the 1951 colors on the ACME paint chips. $10 on Ebay and I now have the 1951 set too.
Check out this webpage - I don't know how complete or correct it is but it seems like a good place to start anyway.
John - would Peacock green be original on a '49? The website says no but again, I'm not sure how accurate that would be.

There's a list of paint and paint codes in the 1948-1954 Master Parts Catalog that is in the online library (See URL below). It's in the UU section (you can find it quickly by typing in Lacquer in the Find (or search) box).
Peacock Green is a 1950 color.

Take a look at the 49 paint chip chart at TPC Global and see if you can find you color.
Savoy Green maybe?
Here's my unrestored 1950 50A, Peacock Green.

Thank you everyone for the tips and i'll try using a wire brush gently on my hinge to reveal the code.
Here is a picture of her Cowl Panel, where it was a deep blue - possibly, Jet blue or Brigantine Blue.

These are the '49 Blue colors according to the MasterParts List:All one color : either Jet Blue( 4),Brigade Blue(18), Brazilian Blue( 1). If the roof is a differant color then only certain combinations are correct. Only two Duo-Tone combinations were available with a lower blue. If the lower color is Jersey Blue & upper is Gallant Gray code is JB. Or, if the lower is Jet Blue, then the upper should be Brazilian Blue code 12. Ron
Hey Christoper, send some other pictures of your engine bay so we can see the entire area. Can't tell too much from this picture.
Question to all: Paint code on passenger door hinges, only for 49-50 or all stepdowns? My 54 Super Wasp has no paint code on the tag from the passenger door. But I can tell that it is Silver Blue, just looking at it. Will check next week, just in case I could see a code...Michel
It was ( is) very difficult to read the code on my 53. Since I expected to see code 147, it was simpler to look for confirmation than an complete unknown. Old paint,rust, pitting etc make these codes illegible. Suggestion: go on line to Auto Color Library. TCP Global has the PPG codes and can make up any factory color in Laquer, Enamel, Single urethane or BC/CC. Chris, you might try paint stripper instead of a wire brush. The brush will surely distort the light etching even more, and the "scratches" may cause what appears to be a number. If your car(1949) is a single color, I'll bet it is Jet Blue. Look at the TCP charts.
I took everyone's advice today and took a wire brush to the top hinge. A faint small "P" appeared near the top in-between the top two bolts. So I guess she is a Peacock Blue which is wonderful news. I thought original when I first got her she was one of the three... Peacock Green, Jet or Brigantine blue.Christopher

Chris, hate to throw a wrench into your deduction, but, Peacock green was a 1950 color. Piedmont green ( 48-49) is letter P . But, the firewall picture that you posted, does not appear close to the color chip that I have for any Green. It looks like Jet Blue, 4. View this on TCP Global website type in library and do it for 48 chips and 49 chips. You be the judge. I have the codes and chips.
RonS, I have, in the online library, the Ditzler paint codes for 1941-1954. I'd be interested in knowing how those compare with what you have.
The list is filed in the 1940-1947 Reference Sheets file in the online library - URL below.

Memphis, TN -
Alex, I get them from TCP Global ( online). Those are the paint chips with PPG/ Ditzler codes to the right directly from the manufacturers achieves. For Hudson, I compare the Master Parts List and Hudsons offerings ( including the VIN) with the TCP colors For Hudson, they go back to 1929. That way I don't need a huge data base. TCP offers most cars since at least 1930 including foreign. Yours are probably the same, however Hudson as usual, changed paint options midyear. This is why some colors show both years, up to a VIN in the parts book. Not a real problem for HET folks, since Hudsons are not judged. But it sure is for my Ford and Cadillac. Color isn't a real concern for me, as much as originality. If the car was "christened" Seal Gray, that is the way I will repaint it. Try going to the TCP Global website, and compare and even extend yours back to the 29s. BTW, TCP says they can match the old lacquer & convert to BC/CC or SS urethane. They did for my friends Graham Hollywood.
Yes, Ron, I checked TCP and it appears that I have those paint charts. I think I put them in the on-line library, but I'd have to check that out. I do have paint spec charts for 1922-1927 Hudson & Essex, factory Ref. Sheet No. 36 - but these, along with the 1929 Hudson, Essex and Dover spec sheets list only the colors, no paint mix numbers.
Y'all have a fine Christmas day, hear.

The AGCO uses monetary penalties as an additional compliance tool for licensees and registrants who have contravened the Liquor Licence Act (LLA), the Gaming Control Act, 1992 (GCA) and their Regulations. A monetary penalty is a financial consequence where the licensee/registrant pays a defined amount as a result of a contravention of the GCA and/or LLA. The introduction of monetary penalties is one component towards achieving compliance and also brings Ontario in line with the majority of other Canadian jurisdictions, which have some form of monetary penalty system.
The primary purpose of monetary penalties is to act as a bridge between a simple warning and a suspension of a licence or registration, and to provide the AGCO with an added compliance tool for working with licensees and registrants before a significant suspension or revocation may be necessary.
In other words, monetary penalties are designed to promote compliance so that the suspension or revocation of a licence or registration does not become a necessary measure. Monetary penalties, however, will not replace the ability to suspend or revoke a licence or a registration where the situation warrants, but will instead complement other compliance tools available to the AGCO.
The Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming (the Registrar) looks at each case individually and considers the following criteria, if relevant, when deciding whether or not to impose a monetary penalty:
With the introduction of monetary penalties, the types of compliance tools available to the Registrar to deal with contraventions of the LLA and GCA and their Regulations now include:
In other words, monetary penalties can be selected from a series of escalating regulatory options available - ranging from warnings to revocations – in order to gain compliance.
The schedules of monetary penalties that have been established by the Board of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (the Board) and approved by the Minister can be viewed below.
The ranges of monetary penalties are designed to address the specific risks posed by each infraction and by the various industries regulated by the AGCO. It is important to note that what are listed in the schedules are maximums only and that most penalties assessed will actually fall lower in the potential range, based on individual circumstances.
The AGCO is required to use funds collected through monetary penalties exclusively for education and training programs for licensees, permit holders and registrants, as well as for public awareness campaigns, which will further promote compliance with the law in the future.
For any further questions related to monetary penalties, please see our Monetary Penalties FAQs .
(Made pursuant to section 4 of the Alcohol and Gaming Regulation and Public Protection Act, 1996 for the imposition of monetary penalties established pursuant to section 14.1 of the Alcohol and Gaming Regulation and Public Protection Act, 1996)
Monetary penalties provide the Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming with a tool to support a compliance-based regulatory regime. To ensure transparency and fairness, the Board articulates the following factors for consideration by the Registrar when exercising his discretion to impose this form of discipline on a licensee or permit holder under the Liquor Licence Act or a registrant under the Gaming Control Act.
When deciding whether to impose a monetary penalty rather than some other form of discipline on a licensee, permit holder, or registrant, the Registrar shall have regard and give appropriate weight to the following non-exhaustive list of factors:

December 20 – Happy Birthday Branch Rickey
There is no doubt whatsoever that the legendary Branch Rickey revolutionized Major League Baseball not once but twice. His first engineered earth change took place when he created a farm system for the St. Louis Cardinals. There had always been minor leagues and minor league teams in US baseball, but not one of those teams had ever been formally affiliated with a big league franchise. The "Mahatma" changed that. As first manager and then president of the St. Louis Cardinals, he began buying portions of ownership in select minor league teams so that he could control the development and contracts of the players on those teams. It was the fruit from Rickey's pioneer farm system that provided the core players who formed the great St. Louis Gashouse Gang teams that would win six pennants and three World Series before WWII.
Next stop for Rickey was as GM of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1943. In that role he engineered the breaking of Major League Baseball's color barrier which helped convert the Dodgers into a National League dynasty.
But before he became the greatest baseball executive in the history of the sport, Rickey actually played it. He broke into the big leagues as a catcher with the Browns in 1905. The following year, he started 55 games behind the plate for St. Louis, averaged .284 and threw out close to 40% of the runners attempting to steal against him. The New York Highlanders' starting catcher, Red Kleinow, had hit just .220 that same season and his back-up, Deacon McGuire was 42 years old. This may help explain why New York traded an outfielder named Little Joe Yeager to the Browns for Rickey, after the 1906 season.
Rickey's catching career in New York, however, would end up consisting of just 11 games. The biggest reason for that miniscule level of playing time was an injured throwing arm and that bum arm explains Rickey's only appearance in the MLB record book as a player. When every other Highlander catcher on the roster came down with more serious injuries than Rickey's at one point during that 1907 season, he was forced to play behind the plate during a game between New York and the Senators. Thirteen Washington base runners were credited with successful stolen base attempts against the then 25-year-old New York catcher that afternoon. In the eleven games in which he was New York's catcher that year, he made nine errors. His injured wing and his .182 Highlander batting average probably explains why the future Hall of Famer quit playing baseball that year and went to law school. The rest is, as they say, history.
Rickey was born on this date in 1881, in Flat, Ohio. He died in 1965. He shares his birthday with this former Yankee DH and outfielder.

Hell came to Damascus months ago. It's loud and scary in Syria's capital. But now, this week, something seems different.
It feels worse. And that makes Leena feel better.
The Damascus resident, who sides with the rebellion, says it means the forces fighting to oust President Bashar al-Assad are winning.
"The rebels are winning, can you see?" she insisted during a Skype call Wednesday. "The regime feels threatened. They are scared. You can feel it here. It's so tense."
Leena, a former teacher in her 30s, told CNN that she's hearing more helicopters hovering over her home this week. Traffic near the presidential palace is more hectic. Checkpoints are more intense. Blink, she said, and the price of gas goes higher.
But the chaos, the uncertainty and booms of shells landing that keep her awake at night, now fill her with hope.
Damascus is the seat of al-Assad's power. Rebel forces seem to be fighting harder than ever in the capital and, according to analysts and on-the-ground observers like Leena, al-Assad is acting like a boxer who fears his own knock-out is coming.
"The worse it gets now, the more we know the rebels will win," she said. "We welcome this fight. It means we will wake up from this nightmare."
In the past several weeks, the rebels -- once disorganized, dysfunctional and poorly armed -- have made major strategic and psychological gains.
They have seized control of key oil fields and territory in important areas of the north. They have audaciously fired on the Damascus airport and downed several military aircraft.
Rebels pounced on a key Air Force headquarters outside the northern city of Aleppo, seizing a large cache of weapons, and leaving the regime so desperate it bombed its own bases to prevent the rebels from getting any more.
It was another blow to Syria's army, which experts say is spent, stretched thin by desertions and defections.
Syrian rebels in Damascus say they are more organized, better armed with heavy weaponry, and ready to "cleanse Syria" of government forces, Free Syrian Army spokesman Abu Qutada told CNN.
He said the rebels have "started the ending battle" of the war.
"We are conducting significant military operation inside the capital Damascus, this is a new stage," Abu Qutada said Wednesday via Skype from the Damascus suburbs. "This is the decisive stage of our fight."
And, international support for the rebels' cause appears to be increasing. NATO recently approved sending Patriot missiles to Turkey, which supports the rebels. France and other pivotal European countries have said they also back the movement against al-Assad.
Those opposed to al-Assad -- including the United States -- have said for months that the Syrian leader's days are numbered. Now, there are signs of desperation:
Al-Assad is reportedly considering his asylum options, despite insisting that he will "live and die in Syria." He is also reportedly considering using chemical weapons on his own people.
And the Syrian government has been blamed for temporarily shutting down Internet service in the country last week, an alleged attempt to thwart rebel communication.
So, with key rebel advances in the north and signs of desperation in Damascus, many observers believe the end is in sight for Syria's 21-month-old brutal civil war.

For Members
Neal Alto, Ph.D., University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, has been honored with a 2013 Merck Irving S. Sigal Memorial Award. This award, presented in memory of Irving S. Sigal, who was instrumental in the early discovery of therapies to treat HIV/AIDS, recognizes early career scientists who have produced outstanding basic research in medical microbiology and infectious diseases.
Dr. Alto earned his bachelor's degree from Western Washington University in 1996, and after a short time at the University of Utah, completed his graduate degree in Cell Biology from Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) in 2003. As a student in Dr. John Scott's laboratory in the Vollum Institute at OHSU, Neal established a unique connection between Ras-family small G-protein signaling and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) function in neurons. This early work established his interest in cell biology and particularly the spatial and temporal aspects of cell-to-cell communication. As a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Jack Dixon's lab at the University of California San Diego, Alto began to study how bacterial pathogens and human cells communicate. He discovered a large family of bacterial type III effector proteins that directly activate Rho-family GTPase signaling systems of the host cell. Dixon describes Alto as "bright, insightful, hardworking, and one of those rare individuals who comes along once every decade or so." The work Alto completed in Dixon's laboratory greatly expanded the repertoire of bacterial proteins that hijack human signal transduction cascades and provided insight into the evolution of protein mimicry at the biochemical and structural level.
In 2007, Alto joined the faculty of Microbiology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center as the Rita C. and William P. Clements Jr. Scholar in Medical Research. He has continued to study the molecular interplay between bacterial pathogens and host signal transduction systems. Specifically, he is combining techniques in live-cell imaging, X-ray crystallography, biochemistry, and mathematical modeling to decipher the mechanisms of bacterial type III effector proteins from human pathogens including Salmonella, Shigella, and enteropathogenic E. coli. His recent work has not only identified novel mechanisms by which bacteria rewire the communication systems of host cells, but has also explained how dynamic interspecies interactions can be regulated in space and time. According to Dr. Michael Norgard, Department Chair at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Alto is off to an amazing start and his "studies have already had significant impact on multiple fields including microbial pathogenesis, human cell biology, and systems biology." Ultimately, Alto hopes that by gaining a deep understanding of the molecular interactions involved in host pathogen relationships, he will identify new approaches for development of anti-microbial therapeutics.
Even though Alto's career is just beginning, he has already been awarded many top honors including the Burroughs Wellcome Fund's Investigator in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease, the Hartwell Foundation's Individual Biomedical Research Award, and the John Collier Award from the Gordon Conference. He has also been invited to speak at multiple events and his work has been published in major journals. Dr. Jeff Miller, University of California Los Angeles, concludes by saying "he embodies the essence of what the Merck Irving S. Sigal Award is attempting to identify in a young investigator and I expect him to be a highly influential scientific leader as his career progresses."

COPENHAGEN—European stock markets made mixed moves on the last trading day of 2012, as U.S. budget negotiations dominated the mood after policy makers failed to lock in an agreement over the weekend in Washington.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index moved 0.3% higher Monday to close at 279.68, ending the year with a 14% gain. This marks the biggest yearly advance since 2009. On a monthly basis, the index gained 1.4%, while adding 4.2% for the quarter.
Many regional markets were shuttered for New Year's Eve, while others were open only for a shortened trading day.
"To sum up, the market has performed strongly [in 2012] but not well in December, [which] has been historically a strong month," said Atif Latif, director of trading at Guardian Stockbrokers. "Much of this is due to ... the U.S. government's ability to bring a quick resolution to the fiscal cliff, which we knew months ago was looming."
U.S. markets also were focused on the fiscal cliff, but stocks were stuck in a tight range.
In London, the FTSE 100 index dropped 0.5% to 5897.81, cutting gains for the year to 5.8%.
