Top 9 Ways to Get your eMail Noticed
So you've made it this far. You like what you've read in his online dating profile and everything is checking out. Now, there's only one thing left to do; get the conversation started. Don't worry, it's a lot easier than it seems. After all, you don't have to be spontaneous or quick on your delivery. You can take all the time you might need to write a gripping email that will engage him.
Here are Nine tips for snagging him with email
1) Write a clever subject line. On many local dating sites your subject line is your first impression, so you need to make it pop! The key is to somehow relate to him using various approaches. Perhaps he's a foodie as well. If so, consider writing, "from a fellow foodie" or if you know he's into art try something like, "art event on a first date?" Pick something that really stood out to you and use it to your advantage to capture his attention.
2) Personalize it. Once again, select specific elements from his profile and incorporate them. For example, if he says that he's optimistic and has a sense of humor then mention that those things are important to you. Perhaps you like his smile – mention that as well and even add a smiley face emoticon.
3) Don't write a novel. That's not to say keep it short. Though he might be interested in your life story, chances are he doesn't want to hear it all at once. Leave the longer conversation for the first date. The goal in writing this email should be to pique his interest and leave some mystery so he responds. Writing too much in an initial email could mean more effort for him to reply and he might put your message on the backburner as a result. Keep it simple and don't over think it. Try to focus on a couple of things that are important and let the conversation grow from there.
4) Ask a question. He will be more likely to respond if you ask him a question – this could be anything. Make it lighthearted or serious to get the conversation started.
5) Show your personality. Everyone loves someone with personality. This makes dating more fun. Show him a slice of who you are in your tone and delivery. If you're soft spoken and shy, there's nothing wrong with mentioning that. If you have a sense of humor, crack a few jokes. Perhaps you have a type-A personality. If so, there's nothing wrong with sharing a story about your personality type. Just make sure to be you and be honest and authentic. He will appreciate it a lot more than receiving a generic message.
6) Don't sound desperate. No one wants to date someone who is needy, so try to keep your email casual. Try not to come on too strong, otherwise he might label you as needy or desperate. The first email is just an introduction and exploration to see if you two are even on the same page. And remember, you are just as much the chooser as he is the picker.
7) Be clear in your message. The last thing you want to do is confuse him. You have all the time in the world to string together thoughts and ideas of why you're writing to him. Take your time, relax and have fun with it. Just make sure that your email flows and it's relevant to something that he can relate to. Communicating a strong, clear, and concise message says a lot about someone and he will notice the effort you've taken in contacting him.
8) Use bold text. Not everywhere. Just the main points you're trying to get across. For example, if you really want him to know that you love dogs, write I really love dogs too and he'll know just how much dogs mean to you. Do this for anything you might be passionate about.
9) Reference date ideas – Mention a few local activities that you are into, see what kind of responses you get. Positive reactions to these outings could be good indications for where you might end up going on a first date.
We hope these tips will lead to more clicks that lead to better conversations. Good luck!

Cyber Love Story – Robyn and Richard
Meet Robyn and Richard who met on Match.com. Their cyber love story is an inspiration to all that if you stick with the online dating process, you can eventually find the love of your life.
Robyn's Cyber Love Story:
I was divorced and living in Los Angeles for nine years and dating in LA wasn't easy. I was dating on and off for a few years online. I really wasn't sure that I was going to meet someone. Like many, I got frustrated with the process, but I had met a woman in Los Angeles who went on 300 online dates! On date 300 she met 'the one' and they've been together for ten years. That gave me a lot of hope, but still the thought of 300 dates terrified me.
What really kept me going is a man I met on match and dated briefly. Although we didn't go the distance we became the best of friends. Within a year, he met his life partner on Match. That gave me even more hope.
So I joined Match in January and had been searching within 12 miles of where I lived. I know that's not very far, but with the traffic in Los Angeles, it seemed realistic to me. When my male friend, whose girlfriend lived in the Valley suggested that I expand my search to a town in the Valley called Woodland Hills, (I live near the beach), I found the zip code and typed it into the search to view men I would have never considered before. I didn't even know where that town was.
Then I saw Richard's photo and profile in July. I was brave and decided to write to him first. Ladies listen up. Guys really like it when you write to them. I sent a simple email, which said, "Hey I read your profile. Sounds like we might have a few things in common. Check out my profile and let me know what you think."
He emailed me back right away. We set up a phone date for the next day and it went to voicemail.
We met three days later and I remember getting out of the car and taking a deep breath and saying to myself, 'Ok. Here we go. I hope he looks remotely like his picture."
Richard was waiting for me in the restaurant wearing a suit and a tie. He looked rather dashing. I thought, hmm. I might have just met my future husband, and it turned out that it did!
I never thought someone of this guy's caliber would be waiting for me at the end of the journey. I cannot even say how lucky I feel! If someone had invented the perfect someone for me, Richard would be it.
Richard's Cyber Love Story:
I had been a member of Match for about four years and dated lots of people. Most were the typical one-and-done dates.
I saw Robyn's profile in my daily matches and read her bio. I was attracted to her, but I was intimidated by her experience as a newscaster and reporter. She had been living in New York and had traveled around the world. She appeared to be sophisticated and I thought I wouldn't live up to her expectations, so I didn't write to her.
I was very thrilled when I received her email. In our first conversation, we had a lot to say to each other. I felt very comfortable with her when we met for a drink. She looked like her photos and like every guy, I was happy about that. We spent four hours talking and I knew I wanted to ask her out again. From our second date, we became exclusive and I actually knew after about 3-4 months of dating that I wanted to marry her.
We talked about marriage and our future, but Robyn had it in her head that a couple needed to be together for a year or two, so she said she'd think about it.
We moved in together and got a new apartment after 9 months of dating and then on our one-year anniversary of our first date, we were married on the beach in Malibu and are set for a Europe honeymoon.
Congratulations to Robyn and Richard who prove that you can find love online.

20 Flirty Text Messages To Capture His Heart
Wondering how to start your day and let your crush know that you're thinking about him?
Flirting via text messages is the best digital foreplay and is guaranteed to keep your guy attached to his mobile phone waiting for the sound of your custom chime tone.
Between emoji's and xoxo's, here are 20 text messages guaranteed to reach his digital heart for every relationship stage.
- Thinking of you. Everyone wants to feel like they are special and thinking of you is a sweet way to make him smile. Don't be surprised if he sends back a quick smiley face.
- Good Morning Handsome. This text goes right to the heart of his ego and will warm his heart throughout the day. Don't be surprised if he sends a text that says, "Good morning beautiful" or "Good morning gorgeous."
- You were hot last night! You can never go wrong the morning after when you tell your guy how hot he was in bed. He'll be scheduling the next date for an encore ASAP. Don't be surprised if he sends a text that says, "smokin hot."
- Guess what I'm wearing? Whether you're in sexy lingerie or just got out of the shower, the visual of what you're wearing won't matter. He'll be thinking about how to undress you while staring at his phone. Don't be surprised if he responds with, "What color?"
- I long for your delicious kisses. Kissing is first base and we all know what happens next. If he thinks you believe he's an amazing kisser, he'll be ready to come home to press his lips against yours in a New York moment. Don't be surprised if he replies with a smiley face or an xoxo.
- I have a feeling tonight will be delicious. The ambiguity of this text is what makes it so exciting. Whether you're cooking up a spicy dish in the kitchen or are saving yourself for dessert, he'll know you're flirting big time. Don't be surprised if he responds with a smiley face or a text that says, "can't wait!"
- What are you up to tonight? When your guy is hanging out at the office and realizes he has no plans for the evening, a casual get together with you just might be a great way to end the day. This text doesn't necessarily mean you're looking for a booty call. You may just want to catch a film or watch episodes of "Breaking Bad" on Netflix. Don't be surprised if he responds with, "Not much. And you?" This is your cue to suggest getting together for a spontaneous date or adding a future date to the calendar.
- I had a dream about you last night. This flirty text will let his imagination run wild. Who wouldn't want someone dreaming about them? He'll be fantasizing about details of your dream and might lose track of time before he responds. Don't be surprised if he responds with, "and how was it?" or "cool" or "sweet."
- Wait until you see what I'm wearing tonight! Playing dress up can spice up your relationship. Whether he fantasizes about you wearing your cheerleader outfit or you have some new hot lingerie, his mind will be wandering all day. Don't be surprised if he responds with, "can't wait!"
- Last night was amazing. [wait for his response and then type] Ready for a repeat performance? When your guy rocks it in the bedroom, he really wants to know that he has pleased you as well. Letting him know just how amazing it was will be the perfect morning text. When he responds with, "I know" or "sure was" then follow it up with the repeat performance request. He'll be scheduling you on his calendar in a digital heartbeat.
- I can't stop thinking about you. You know that feeling you both get in a new relationship when you think you might be smitten? Now's the time to let him know, rather than keeping him waiting. Don't be surprised if he responds with, "me too!"
- Last night was fun. Can't wait to see you again. Early on in a relationship, a guy's got to get some feedback ladies. There's no better way to capture his digital heart than through his phone. This one's clean and appropriate and gives him the confidence that you'll say yes if he asks you out again. Don't be surprised if he responds with, "I had a blast" or "great time."
- How did you sleep last night? Regardless of your relationship status, everyone imagines falling asleep in the arms of their crush someday. This sweet pillow talk text lets him know you're thinking of him and is a great way to start the day. Don't be surprised if he responds with, "would have been better with you" or "not bad" or "ok" or "good….and you?"
- Hey you! If you're still in the friend zone with someone, here's a casual text just to let them know you're thinking about them. It's similar to "thinking of you" but a bit more casual. Don't be surprised if he writes back with, "hey!" Guys are simple. One word responses suit them quite well.
- Miss you. [wait for his response and type] Wish you were here. They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. When you or your beau are traveling, chances are he will miss your presence. These affectionate texts will warm his heart. Don't be surprised if he responds with, "Me too."
- I've been thinking about you all day. I know you don't want to be obsessive, but if you've already exchanged a few text messages with your guy, why not reach out after lunch and let him know he's on your mind. Don't be surprised if he responds with a smiley face.
- Can you sneak away for coffee? While you might not be having an illicit affair with your beau, there's something sexy and mysterious about sneaking away from work to see your sweetie for 15 minutes. If he's free, don't be surprised if he responds with, "sure." Then it's up to you to suggest the locale.
- Good night and sleep tight xo. Sending a good night text with an xo is as close to saying "I love you" as it gets for those who don't text those three special words. Don't be surprised if he responds with "nite" or "xo."
- Sweet dreams. Xo. Sure dreams would be sweeter if you were in them, so why not send him into dreamland with you on his mind. Don't be surprised if he responds with "xo" or "you too."
- Trying to fall asleep…can't stop thinking about you. When you're not falling asleep in his arms, sometimes you can get restless and your mind will wander. No need to fret. Let him know that you can't get to sleep. Chances are he might still be awake as well and a little late night flirting with texts back-and-forth might just be the medicine you need for a good night's sleep.
Other Flirting Tips:
1. Use spell-check before pushing the send button. Often the auto-correct feature will kick in and your text might be misinterpreted, or worse yet, even be offensive.
2. Don't send a sext or nude photo. Remember, your guy might be rushing to a meeting and his cell phone might be sitting on his desk. Other times your text might be sent to the wrong person in error if you're sending multiple text messages. Remember, if you wouldn't want his boss or co-workers seeing your text, it isn't worth pressing the send button.
3. Keep it simple. This is where "less is more" works the best. Leave the novel at home as it screams heavy drama and keep your texts short, so the back and forth digital banter can begin.
4. Remember, you're interrupting his busy workday and he might not be able to respond right away if he's in a meeting. That doesn't mean he hasn't seen your text and is feeling quite distracted with thoughts of you. Don't angst over the response time. If he's into you, you'll be hearing the chime of his text on your phone within a few hours.
5. Know that a man is visual and reactive. He'll enjoy seeing a cute photo of the object of his affection and will want to brag about you to his friends, so start texting your smiling face to your guy today.

5 Red Flags and Tips for Online Dating
Every once in a while a story comes out in the news about a person who has had a bad dating experience with someone they've met online. Men are fearful that every woman will turn out to be crazy. Women on the other hand need to know that they will be safe with their date.
I'm here to tell you that the same people who date online also date offline, so when it comes to dating safety, these rules will apply for both.
Let's start with the fact that about one-half of the single population in the United States are now dating online. This number is huge and should give you the comfort of knowing that you're not alone in cyberspace.
Here are my rules for safe online dating.
1. Have a phone pre-date.
Not everyone gives good phone, but if the phone call is awful and you're struggling to keep the conversation going, chances are you'll have a bad experience on your date. After a few email or text exchanges, I recommend scheduling a phone date. Keep the phone call to 20 minutes or less, as you don't want to reveal everything about yourself before you meet IRL. If you click on the phone, that's terrific. Suggest putting a date on the calendar, sooner rather than later. If you feel like you're sitting in the dentist's chair or in a deposition, be kind and let the person know that you don't think you have enough in common and wish them the best with their search. If someone is unwilling to take the time to call you, then move on to someone who values your desire to hear his or her voice.
2. Do a Google search.
I'm often asked if someone should search their date on Google and the answer of course is yes! Everyone does. However, just like you shouldn't kiss-and-tell, you should not Google-and tell. By revealing and questioning your date about your findings on Google, you will come across as a stalker and just might get canceled on. Knowledge is power, up to a point.
3. Check their Facebook photos.
A picture tells a thousand words, or does it? Those posting old prom shots or photo-shopped pictures can get old when you go on a date and barely recognize him or her. My recommendation is to hop over to Facebook or Instagram and view real-life photos. If the photo from last night's concert resembles his or her online dating profile shots, you're in pretty good shape. Better yet, view some of their selfies, which are less than polished.
4. Listen more than talk.
If your date seems to be a drama queen or catastrophizes and plays the victim, they'll let you know early on. This is a red flag that if the relationship goes south, it might not be an amicable departure. For this reason, I stress that you should wait before allowing someone to know where you live. You should continue to meet in a public place for your early dates. Let them talk about ex's, bad dates, and all the reasons why they are still single and sit back and listen.
5. Trust your gut.
Trusting your intuition is the number one way to make a decision whether to go on a date with someone or not. Take your time in getting to know him or her and enjoy the courting process. If stories aren't adding up or if you feel in your heart there's something wrong, you just might save yourself from a future heartbreak.

Online Dating: Should I Ask a Woman Her True Age
I have an online dating question and would love your opinion on this recent emailed dating exchange of mine, on OK Cupid…
Me: How old are you really? (Does anyone here tell the truth about his/her age? I mean, besides me.)
Her: How old am I really? I won't read into this, I'll just go with it: I'm really not whatever it was I said I was, ha! My photos are recent; age is not something by which I live my life; and I often get mistaken for my daughters' sister when we're out together. I don't look 26 but I don't look or live like I'm the 50-something I copped to in my profile.
(How's that for evading the answer? Her profile says she's 51, but she obviously is not comfortable revealing her exact age to me. Should I drop it or press it? Is it too sensitive a topic to expect the truth, even if I myself am truthful? I've met women before who've revealed they're as much as 15 years older than the ages they've indicated on their dating profiles. And I'm not comfortable or sufficiently evolved enough to date someone who's 66, even if she is mistaken for her daughter. Thoughts?)
Here's my take on his dating dilemma.
Women are often very sensitive and about their age and will lie about their age to fit into a search on their Internet dating profiles. Call it a double-standard, but they expect the man to be honest about his age.
Most women won't even engage in conversation when questioned and will evade the subject. They'll get offended if you ask what her age is, so I'd say it's an off-limits subject early on.
When a man used to ask me about my age, I would smile and be coy and say, "It's not polite to ask a lady her age." This practice goes back to early etiquette days, long before online dating became part of everyday life for singles. Even my grandmother wouldn't reveal her true age when asked.
Know that physical attraction and chemistry are important. Either a guy will be attracted to someone's actual photos or to the woman when he meets her in person, or he won't. I say you should never judge someone by their age and respect her desire to be private about her age until she is comfortable in sharing it. Many women past the age of 40 believe they need to lie about their age to attract a man. They realize that men are interested in dating younger, at least while searching online.
I think your potential date was being polite and sweet by saying, "I'll just go with it." If her photos are recent it should be enough. She obviously wants to continue to communicate with you and tried to set a boundary where it comes to age.
Think about how disappointed you would be if you were really attracted to someone, thought you both had a lot in common, had a friendly banter via email, and a phone call or two. It looked promising until…. you asked her if her age was accurate. She gets upset, cancels the date and you never meet.
Often if you meet someone out at a party or gathering and strike up a conversation, you won't ask her what her age is, because it doesn't matter. I'm not promoting lying whatsoever, as I encourage everyone to be honest about their age. If they fudge, I recommend they post something in their profile or at least tell someone on the first date the truth.
My best advice is to drop the age question. You don't know that she's 66 and you don't know that she's 55. You just know that you might be interested in her and are curious about her real age. If you meet and connect, eventually she'll tell you the truth about her age. If you're smitten with her, you won't mind if it's 5 years more than you had originally thought. Give her a chance and if you think she's pretty, let her know. Women love to be flattered and don't like to feel like their being interviewed or in a deposition.

Help! I Found my Boyfriend on Tinder
I met my boyfriend on Tinder and we started dating three months ago.
We both agreed to take down our Tinder profiles. Actually it was his idea to do it first and I thought it was a great idea.
We've connected on a deep level and are even talking about living together, so I thought everything was great.
Last week, my girlfriend saw his profile on Tinder and it appears he went back on without telling me. He's been secretive about things lately, complaining that he's stressed out at work. I'm afraid I'm losing him. What should I do?
GF of Tinder Addict.
Dear GF of TA,
You're not alone. Tinder is a fun game that singles play on their mobile phones. While it's a great way to meet someone close by, it's still a game. I know several couples who have left their Tinder profiles up and just enjoy chatting with others, without the intention of taking it any further.
Let's start by saying your boyfriend did do something wrong. He rejoined Tinder without telling you. Most likely he knew there would be an eruption like a volcano if he suggested it. He would assume you'd think he was cheating on you, when he was just having fun swiping right and left on Tinder.
Do I know if your relationship is on the way out or not? Of course not. But you're at a relationship milestone — the three month mark. The honeymoon phase of the newness in your relationship when everything is perfect is changing. The good news is, that you're still together as a couple and are moving into the next phase. Three months is the time where couples decide do they want to go to the next step, which is beyond the casual stage.
My suggestion is to have a convo with your BF and ask him if he just likes looking at pretty faces. Believe it or not, he might just be viewing girls digitally the way that some guys stare at cute girls at a restaurant. If he says he'd like to see others, then believe him and reactive your profile as well and start dating. If he says he only has eyes for you, let him know how uncomfortable this is making you. Ask him if he can state his relationship status to "in a relationship" and that he's looking for friends to chat with or take it down completely. If he's willing to do this, then understand he looks at Tinder the same way as he would look at a video game.
I'm not saying it's right and I'd be very unhappy if my boyfriend had an active dating or Tinder profile up while he was spending nights with me. If he refuses to state his relationship status, then you need to decide if you'd like to continue dating him and date others as well.
If he really doesn't want to lose you, he won't let his cell phone games get in the way of love. It's time for some digital housekeeping.
Keep me posted.
Wishing you much love and joy in cyberspace, or wherever you may roam. xo

Christian'Dee - Right
Artist: Christian'Dee
Producer: Christian Deshun
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 2 votes )
Ever since September, when the Shreveport, L.A. native earned rave reviews for unreleased cut Thurzdey, fans have undoubtedly been wondering when they'd get to enjoy another fresh record from Christian Deshun. Well, how does Right now sound? Those who were feeling the aforementioned joint's chill vibes and offbeat cadences will be happy to find that those traits are even more pronounced on this newly-released buzz single. Over his own production, an atmospheric arrangement driven by ebbing and flowing synths, the artist delves into the internal conflicts that color his daily hustle, delivering his bars in an effortless, yet never predictable flow. He even tries his hand at some low-key crooning on the record's chorus. Though Right isn't slated to appear on the project, those digging it will undoubtedly appreciate the rest of the fresh material in store on Christian's Subtle Weekends LP, dropping at a yet-undetermined date in the near future.

Fatal Claremont crash case could go to grand jury next week
The case, though, could go before the grand jury as early as next week.
Luke Garlinger, 29, of Mansfield, Mass., was arrested and charged April 10 with negligent homicide after an April 7 car crash on Main Street - in which he was a driver - claimed the life of a Vermont woman.
The court has yet to set a new date for the probable cause hearing, but since the Sullivan County Superior Court Grand Jury is scheduled to meet on Wednesday there is a chance prosecutors could present it to the grand jury next week.
"Like any other felony case pending in this jurisdiction we will review this case and assess whether or not it is a matter we want to present to the grand jury," Sullivan County Attorney Marc Hathaway said Thursday.
According to police, shortly after midnight on April 7, a Toyota Tacoma pickup, driven by Garlinger, was headed east on Main Street in Claremont when it suddenly veered into the opposite lane and hit the Pontiac minivan near the Tractor Supply Store on Main Street.
The woman driving the minivan, Shellie Blaisdell, 42, of Windsor, Vt., died early that morning at Valley Regional Hospital as the result of injuries she suffered in the accident.
According to Garlinger's arrest affidavit on file at the district court, "She had severe trauma to her head and upper body area."
Her 13-year-old passenger, who has since turned 14, was also taken to Valley Regional Hospital where he was treated for two broken arms and a burn to his leg.
The teen was released from the hospital to be cared for at home.
Garlinger, who had "cuts and blood about the head" was sent to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center via medical helicopter.
Just before the accident, a state trooper driving west on Main Street reported seeing Garlinger's vehicle traveling 80 miles per hour east on Main Street in a 35 mile per hour posted zone, according to the affidavit.
When the trooper turned his cruiser around to pursue the vehicle, he quickly came upon the scene of the crash.
The affidavit also states a Claremont officer said he could smell the odor of alcohol on Garlinger when he had contact with him at the scene of the accident.
On the morning of the crash, at 6:25 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., Claremont police executed a search warrant for seizure of blood samples from Garlinger while he was a patient at Dartmouth-Hitchcock.
Hathaway said Thursday he has not yet received the results of the blood tests from the state lab.

Large trucks, dune line and sturdy seawall for protection against Sandy
Written by Lauren Suit Sunday, December 02, 2012 12:00 am
|< Prev
|Next >
NORTH WILDWOOD ŌĆö The city was lucky to escape major damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, but officials said that preparation for serious storms were also key in safeguarding the town.
North Wildwood Mayor Bill Henfey said the city had started to prepare for storms like Sandy with the building of a new seawall in 2005. A few years later the city literally filled the gap in its shore protection plans by adding a concrete cap to the remnants of the older seawall along John F. Kennedy Drive. The project added an 18-inch-thick and 3-foot-wide layer of concrete across the rocks that make up the circa-1970s seawall between Second and Third avenues along the oceanfront street.
The total length of the wall is 8,400 feet.
Police Chief Robert Matteucci said that he had wanted to purchase five-ton trucks after the blizzards in 2010 and Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011. However, none were available or the cost was too prohibitive.
Matteucci started to look for other ways that emergency personnel could travel through the cityŌĆÖs streets if they were covered in snow or high water and came across military vehicles.
A federal surplus program allows municipalities and their law-enforcement agencies to obtain surplus military vehicles at no cost. The only expense is maintaining the vehicles.
Other towns also used the federal program and were ready with military-grade vehicles, Humvees and five-ton trucks, by the time Sandy arrive in New Jersey.
The city also had a trailer capable of moving a fire department pumper truck and a 5-ton tow truck.
The city also had a 14-foot dune system and had its beach replenished with more than 96,000 cubic yards of sand from Wildwood Crest.
By the time the storm was over, it stole more than a million cubic yards of sand from its dune system.

Zuoming Sun, Ph.D. Research
Activation and survival of T lymphocytes control the quality and magnitude of the immune responses. Manipulation of T cell activity is therefore one of the most important treatments for enhancing immune responses towards eliminating pathogens and tumors, as well as inhibiting the immune responses responsible for autoimmune diseases and transplantation rejection. Zuoming Sun's lab studies the mechanisms controlling T cell activation and survival.
RORg in T cell function
Central theme in T cell development is to eliminate self-reactive T cells, whereas to maintain the T cells reactive to foreign antigens. During T cell development, more than 95% of the T cells are eventually eliminated by a programmed cell death (apoptosis). We have demonstrated that RORg plays a critical role in this apoptotic process. However, the mechanisms responsible for RORg-regulated apoptosis are largely unknown. RORg recruits a family of proteins called SRCs to regulate thymocyte survival. We are in the process of identifying RORg target genes, as well as RORg upstream regulators. Our study will facilitate the understanding a novel role of RORg in instructing the differentiation of Th17 cells, essential effectors in autoimmunity .
Function of b-catenin in T cell function
Cellular function in multiple cell organisms depends on coordinated cell to cell communication. b-catenin pathway is one of such critical molecules used to communicate between cells. We have demonstrated that b-catenin pathway mediates the critical survival signals for thymocytes as well as responsible for up-regulating a critical molecule, CD4, on thymocytes. We are in the process of studying how b-catenin pathway regulates thymocyte survival as well as T cell activation.
PKC-q in T cell activation
The first step in initiating immune responses against pathogens is T cell activation. PKC-q is required for T cell activation process. In addition, PKC-q mediates the survival signals during T cell activation process. Recently, we have identified the function of PKC-q in eliminating T cells via activation-induced cell death. We are currently studying the function of PKC-q in T cell-mediated rejection of allografts. Our results demonstrated that PKC-q is required to mediate the immune responses for allograft rejection. Therefore, PKC-q is a potential drug target for preventing allograft rejection. Currently, we are elucidating the molecular mechanisms responsible for PKC-q-regulated T cell functions.

Made in City of Hope: T cells – enlisting the immune system to beat cancer
The body's immune system is usually adept at attacking outside invaders such as bacteria and viruses. But because cancer originates from the body's own cells, the immune system can fail to see it as foreign. As a result, the body's most powerful ally can remain largely idle against cancer as the disease progres...

I'd like to invite you to join me and Melinda Outlaw, an expert on clinical readiness, to discuss how EHR clinical readiness can improve your interactions and results with your hospital's EHR.
Let's Talk About Clinical Integration
Clinical integration is pretty amazing. It's not quite an ACO, yet allows a healthcare organizations within a community to loosely associate in order to provide better care for their patients. These hospitals and private practices agree to share data about the patients they care for with one another and agree to practice by defined health initiatives. It's a way to provide better care across the continuum and also allows for providers to increase their reimbursement.
This means more money coming into hospitals and physician's offices, which means they can hire more nurses!
Healthcare IT Needs Network Scanning
Healthcare IT relies on technology everyday. When analysts and other healthcare IT staff do not have access to tools to do their jobs their performances suffers. There are many technologies and tools that can improve the workflow of healthcare IT and informatics nurses. Network scanning is one that should not be missed.

Getting Into Healthcare IT and Informatics
It can be challenging to transition into healthcare IT and informatics, but one piece of advice I often give nurses and others looking to make the change is to learn about the career and what job responsibly it has. One great way to do this is to look at job listings, job requirements, and networking with recruiters and hiring managers to determine the skills and training you need to be a viable candidate.
The Nerdy Nurse's Guide to Technology: The Book
The Nerdy Nurse's Guide to Technology provides the tools nurses need to improve their practices, further their careers, and solidify themselves as assets to their employers. Written with humor and easily digestible sections of information, this reference guide supplies nurses with the practical application tools they need to embrace technology and be successful.
Technology should be seen and used as an aide to delivering nursing care. If it is a barrier, then we need to break down those walls and make it useful for the care you give. Technology, like most things in life, becomes what you make of it. If you make it difficult and useless, then it will be difficult and useless. But if you make it prominent and valuable, then you might find that you not only experience increased satisfaction in your job performance but are a happier nurse overall.

Becoming an Informatics Nurse: Going Beyond the Bedside
When I discovered nursing informatics, it was like a dream come true. I was completing my BSN coursework, and I began researching options to further my education in nursing. I realized fairly quickly that I wasn't interested in most of the education pathways that many of my nursing peers were following. Somewhere in the midst of that research I stumbled onto "Nursing Informatics" and I knew it was for me. The stars aligned, the angels sang, and the fascinating world of healthcare information technology became my goal.
