Current Research and Scholarly Interests The ANNES LABORATORY of Molecular Endocrinology: Leveraging Chemical Biology to Treat Endocrine Disorders
The prevalence of diabetes is increasing at a staggering rate. By the year 2050 an astounding 25% of Americans will be diabetic. The goal of my research is to uncover therapeutic strategies to stymie the ensuing diabetes epidemic. To achieve this goal we have developed a variety of innovate experimental approaches to uncover novel approaches to curing diabetes.
(1) Beta-Cell Regeneration: Diabetes results from either an absolute or relative deficiency in insulin production. Our therapeutic strategy is to stimulate the regeneration of insulin-producing beta-cells to enhance an individual's insulin secretion capacity. We have developed a unique high-throughput chemical screening platform which we use to identify small molecules that promote beta-cell growth. This work has led to the identification of key molecular pathways (therapeutic targets) and candidate drugs that promote the growth and regeneration of islet beta-cells. Our goal is to utilize these discoveries to treat and prevent diabetes.
(2) The Metabolic Syndrome: A major cause of the diabetes epidemic is the rise in obesity which leads to a cluster of diabetes- and cardiovascular disease-related metabolic abnormalities that shorten life expectancy. These physiologic aberrations are collectively termed the Metabolic Syndrome (MS). My laboratory has developed an original in vivo screening platform t to identify novel hormones that influence the behaviors (excess caloric consumption, deficient exercise and disrupted sleep-wake cycles) and the metabolic abnormalities caused by obesity. We aim to manipulate these hormone levels to prevent the development and detrimental consequences of the MS.
The Hereditary Paraganglioma Syndrome (hPGL) is a rare genetic cancer syndrome that is most commonly caused by a defect in mitochondrial metabolism. Our goal is to understand how altered cellular metabolism leads to the development of cancer. Although hPGL is uncommon, it serves as an excellent model for the abnormal metabolic behavior displayed by nearly all cancers. Our goal is to develop novel therapeutic strategies that target the abnormal behavior of cancer cells. In the laboratory we have developed hPGL mouse models and use high throughput chemical screening to identify the therapeutic susceptibilities that result from the abnormal metabolic behavior of cancer cells.
As a physician scientist trained in clinical genetics I have developed expertise in hereditary endocrine disorders and devoted my efforts to treating families affected by the hPGL syndrome. By leveraging our laboratory expertise in the hPGL syndrome, our care for individuals who have inherited the hPGL syndrome is at the forefront of medicine. Our goal is to translate our laboratory discoveries to the treatment of affected families.

Katrin Chua
Associate Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology, Gerontology and Metabolism)
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Our lab is interested in understanding molecular processes that underlie aging and age-associated pathologies in mammals. We focus on a family of genes, the SIRTs, which regulate stress resistance and lifespan in lower organisms such as yeast, worms, and flies. In mammals, we recently uncovered a number of ways in which SIRT factors may contribute to cellular and organismal aging by regulating resistance to various forms of stress. We have now begun to characterize the molecular mechanisms by which these SIRT factors function. In particular, we are interested in how SIRT factors regulate chromatin, the molecular structure in which the DNA of mammalian genomes is packaged, and how such functions may link genome maintenance to stress resistance and aging.

Aimee D. Shu
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Endocrinology, Gerontology, & Metabolism
Bio I am an endocrinologist with particular interests in reproductive and bone health.
I enjoy treating patients with menstrual disorders, menopause, fractures, osteoporosis, parathyroid imbalance, and calcium imbalance.
As a certified menopause practitioner (North American Menopause Society), I help women fine-tune their health at the mid-life transition. Some women transition through menopause with ease, while others experience challenging symptoms like hot flashes, slowed metabolism, and mood changes. This transition period provides a good opportunity to create a "game plan" for preserving future health. It also marks the beginning of natural bone loss, leaving one more susceptible to fragility fractures.
I provide individualized treatment plans for bone health to men and women of all ages, including for those with specific challenges such as chronic steroid use. As a certified clinical densitometrist (International Society for Clinical Densitometry), I personally review all my patients' bone density scan images. Thus, please bring any non-Stanford bone density scan images to your appointment with me.
Appointments with me are available on Stanford's main campus (300 Pastuer Drive) and at the Stanford Medicine Outpatient Center (450 Broadway, Redwood City).
Marilyn Tan
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Endocrinology, Gerontology, & Metabolism
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Type 2 diabetes, obesity, insulin resistance
Jason Wong
Postdoctoral Research fellow, Endocrinology, Gerontology, and Metabolism
Bio I am a graduate of the Harvard School of Public Health with a dual-doctorate in molecular/genetic epidemiology and environmental health. I have extensive expertise in quantitative analysis, epidemiological study design, and causal inference in observational studies. However, I am best described as a genomic trauma specialist focusing on the relationship between molecular markers, environmental factors, and risk of chronic diseases. My current research is multifaceted. I am currently investigating the relationship between sex hormone levels and risk of uterine fibroids in the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN). Additionally, I am characterizing chromosomal copy-number variations in relation to risk of cardiovascular outcomes in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS). I am also exploring gene-environment interactions within the Epidemiology of Endometrial Cancer Consortium (E2C2).
My career in biological research began at the British Columbia Cancer Agency under the guidance of Dr. Keith Humphries, a world renowned expert on the genetics of hematological disorders. It was in the Humphrie's laboratory that I developed a strong foundation in molecular genetic techniques which served as a primer for the rest of my career. Subsequently, I became research laboratory manager for Dr. Immaculata De Vivo, a pioneer in molecular epidemiology at the Channing Division of Network Medicine at the Brigham and Women's Hospital. Not only did I hone my expertise in molecular biology, but also received extensive training in the burgeoning field of molecular and genetic epidemiology.
I used a three-pronged paradigm in my research to combat cancer; understanding genetic and biological susceptibility, prevention by attenuating modifiable risk factors, and treatment of underlying causative factors. With respect to genetic susceptibility, my projects focused on functional characterization of polymorphisms which predisposed women to endometrial cancer. With respect to attenuating modifiable risk factors, we studied how smoking and other lifestyle choices affect cancer risk. With respect to treatment of underlying disease, I studied how a novel therapeutic molecule called dichloroacetate induces cell death in a panel of endometrial cancer cells.
My doctoral thesis focused on the effect of airborne particulate matter on telomere length, mediated through chronic inflammation and global DNA methylation. My interest in predictors of chronic disease is not limited to only to biological and environmental factors, but also social factors such as exposure to racism and early-life adversity in susceptible populations.
Joy Wu
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology)
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My laboratory focuses on the pathways that regulate the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into the osteoblast and adipocyte lineages. We are also studying the role of osteoblasts in the hematopoietic stem cell niche and B lymphocyte development in the bone marrow microenvironment.

It's interesting to see the wide range of speculating when it comes to Jay Leno in primetime. Some people believe Jay Leno's ratings will be a cataclysmic failure for NBC, some think it will do amazingly amd others think it will do neither great or abysmally. We'll have to wait and see and we'll need more than the first week of ratings data to really know anything. Everyone knows that, but we love to speculate anyway.
One thing that isn't so speculative though is this: NBC is going to wind up the fourth place network in primetime. Again. You might not find much consensus with the predictions for Leno's ratings, but factoring out next year's winter Olympics, NBC finishing last (of the big 4) in primetime seems a certainty, even the executives at NBC must know that.
Our friend James Hibberd writes:
Also, [Fox entertainment president Kevin] Reilly (who formerly served as entertainment president at the NBC, you'll recall) urged reporters to look at NBC's overall standings and not just 10 p.m.
"They're going to struggle at 8 p.m.," he said. "I see no show there, other than 'Biggest Loser,' that's going to get things going. Struggle at 8 p.m., not a lot of powerhouses at 9 p.m., modest ratings at 10 p.m. I think you've got to look at the whole picture."
Reilly thinks Leno will do fine at 10pm, but then adds a " but so what?" spin to it. I like Reilly for urging the media to look at the big picture. His point is a good one. Whether Leno does well or not, NBC's still going to finish last among the big four broadcast networks in primetime. All the media focus and obsession over Jay Leno won't change that, regardless of how Leno performs.
Unfortunately, media coverage dedicated to the big picture goes mostly unread. Because of that, despite any urging from Reilly or anyone else, you can expect to see vastly more media coverage of Leno's ratings than the of the picture.

PAWTUCKET ŌĆö An investigation is going on into the possible misuse of the city's gasoline pumps by someone who allegedly used them to fill up a personal vehicle.
However, while city officials have confirmed the investigation, they are being tight-lipped about the scope of it and any other details surrounding the matter.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆō Test drilling will begin later this summer at Franklin FarmŌĆÖs east field, one of five sites and the primary parcel identified in an evaluation of town-owned properties that have the potential to provide a new source of municipal groundwater.
The Cumberland Water Department has contracted with Layne Christensen Company of Dracut, Mass. to drill test wells and conduct short term pumping tests in late August or early September when groundwater levels are expected to be at their lowest.
PAWTUCKETŌĆöEvery woman dreams of finding the perfect dress for her wedding day. For bride-to-be Beth Coakley, that means taking her turn in the same satin and lace gown that has been worn by seven other family members before her.
When Coakley, a school teacher in Beverly, Mass., marries Pawtucket native Bob Bedard this fall, she will be proudly outfitted in a family heirloom known as ŌĆ£the corn crop dress.ŌĆØ The gown was first worn by Coakley's great-aunt when she wed in 1949, and was passed down to a bride in every generation after that, from the 1950s to the 1990s.
Aline G. LeClair
PAWTUCKET - Aline G. (Marot) LeClair, 92, passed away peacefully on Friday, June 14, 2013. She was the beloved wife of the late Walter C. LeClair. A lifelong resident of Pawtucket, she was a daughter of the late Armand and Alice (Cote) Marot. Mrs. LeClair was a seamstress and homemaker, but most of all a devoted and loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
Julio Coia
SMITHFIELD - Julio Coia 91, a resident of North Bay Manor, passed away on June 14, 2013. He was predeceased by his beloved wife of 69 years, Irene G. (Mello) Coia. Born in Providence, he was the son of the late Giulio and Angela (Capaldi) Coia.
Julio was a Supervisor for the former Valley Gas Company. He was an Army Veteran of WWII. Julio loved to golf, ballroom dance, and spend quality time with his family.
George J. Metfooney
SEEKONK - George J. Metfooney, 80, died at the New Bedford Rehabilitation Hospital on Friday, June 14, 2013 after a long illness. He was the beloved husband of Carmela (Gentile) Metfooney. He was born in Pawtucket, the son of the late John and Hapel Metfooney, and lived in Pawtucket and nearby Seekonk for most of his life.
George was the owner/operator of Cousin's Food Store and Restaurant in Pawtucket. He was also a proud veteran of the United States Army, serving during the Korean War.
Lucille T. Laporte
CENTRAL FALLS - Lucille T. Laporte, 81, passed June 14, 2013. She was the loving wife of the late Arthur L. Laporte. Born in Woonsocket, a daughter of the late Wilfred and Mary-Jane (Raymond) Maurice.
She had been employed as a winding technician for many years, retiring from Quality Ribbon after 20 years.
James B. Downing
CUMBERLAND - James B. Downing, of Cumberland passed away on Saturday, June 15, 2013 surrounded by his loving family. He was the husband of Kathleen (Peranzi) Downing. They had been married 47 years.
Mr. Downing was born in Providence the son of the late Michael Downing and Mary (Smith)Downing.
He was a truck driver for the Coca Cola Company for many years. In recent years Jim was a bus driver for the Durham Bus Company in Cumberland.
Mary B. Welsh
PAWTUCKET - Mary B. (Russell) Welsh, 80, passed away on Friday, June 14, 2013. She was the beloved wife of the late Joseph R. Welsh. A lifelong resident of Pawtucket, she was a daughter of the late John and Margaret (McCrystal) Russell. Mary worked as a bookkeeper for Rhode Island Medical Imaging for 42 years until retiring in 1997.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö This knuckleballer had the Wright stuff on Sunday afternoon.
Steven Wright impressed a large FatherŌĆÖs Day crowd at McCoy Stadium with his finest start of the year. Throwing a season-high eight innings -- the Pawtucket Red Sox starter to do so this year -- Wright struck out seven batters and gave up just five hits, a run, and no walks to help the PawSox notch a 5-3 triumph over the Buffalo Bisons.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō To Emily Bouthillette, a whack to the face never felt so good.
Minutes after Lincoln High had clinched an easier-than-anticipated 5-1 victory over Coventry to claim its second straight R.I. Division I Tournament title on Sunday afternoon, Bouthillette's fellow senior tri-captain, Lindsay Mayer, accepted the state championship plaque.
When Mayer heard fans screaming from the third-base gate to spin and hoist it ŌĆō of course for photos ŌĆō she accidentally struck her teammate, and immediately responded, ŌĆ£Em, I'm so sorry!
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō In two previous regular-season meetings with Division II-West champion North Providence High, league runner-up St. Raphael Academy suffered losses of 5-0 at Notte Park and 1-0 at the Hank Soar Complex.
SRA skipper Ron Labree and assistant Kevin Shea discussed the nuances of those defeats on the team bus, one carrying the Saints to one final showdown against the mighty Cougars in the R.I. Division II Tournament championship game, on Saturday morning.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Pawtucket City Councilor Albert Vitali Jr. has no problem nurturing the cityŌĆÖs artistic community and supporting budding young artists, but he draws the line at spray-painted phallic symbols, curse words and other graffiti he says is plaguing city walls.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Xander Bogaerts wasted little time in making himself feel quite at home in his new surroundings.
All the 20-year-old did in his PawSox debut was a little bit of everything, his efforts going a long way in Pawtucket grabbing both ends of FridayŌĆÖs doubleheader against Buffalo. The home team won the first game in dramatic 1-0 fashion as Alex Hassan delivered a walk-off hit with two down in the seventh inning.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Xander Bogaerts reached Triple-A Pawtucket as a 20-year-old and with 290 Double-A at-bats in 79 games to his credit.
Just to provide an idea of how unique his situation is, below is a list of former and current PawSox position players and where they stood at-bat and age-wise upon leaving Portland:
ŌĆō Dustin Pedroia (256 at-bats in 66 Double-A games. Reached Pawtucket at age 22).
ŌĆō Will Middlebrooks (37 at-bats in 96 Double-A games. Reached Pawtucket at age 22).
ŌĆō Jacoby Ellsbury (271 at-bats in 67 Double-A games. Reached Pawtucket at age 23).
Meg Lancaster, a member of the Lincoln High School Class of 2013, watches fellow classmates during the processional at CCRIŌĆÖs Flanagan Campus in Lincoln Friday evening.
Reputed Boston mob boss James ŌĆ£WhiteyŌĆØ Bulger is an 83-year-old man federal prosecutors say was responsible for 19 murders before he went on the lam in 1994.
Jodi Arias is a 32-year-old ex-waitress from Arizona whoŌĆÖs facing the death penalty in the grisly killing of her lover, stabbed 27 times, his throat slashed and shot in the face.
As criminal types, they have about as much in common as rocks and birds. But hereŌĆÖs something that may help them both: In the age of social media, itŌĆÖs easier than ever for the jurors sitting in their cases to screw up.
Omer J. Sicard
PAWTUCKET - Omer J. Sicard, 74, died peacefully on Friday, June 14, 2013 at Home and Hospice Care of Rhode Island, Providence. He was born in Pawtucket, the son of the late Omer and Imelda (Samson) Sicard and lived his entire life in the Blackstone Valley. He retired after more than thirty years as a froster from Osram-Sylvania, Central Falls. Omer was a U.S. Army veteran, serving in Korea during the Vietnam Era.
Raymond E. Riendeau
PAWTUCKET - Raymond E. Riendeau, 80 of Pawtucket died Friday at his home. He was the husband of the late Claire(LaPorte) Riendeau. Born in Albany, VT he was the son of the late Eugene and Gertrude (Authier) Riendeau. He has been a Pawtucket resident most of his life.

Two Positives:
Jonah: Ricky Rubio has desperately struggled in his return from ACL surgery. He's voiced his own opinion on the team's woeful stretch but he's also found himself trenched in the middle of it all. He finally broke through with a solid offensive night, posting a 14-8 and five steals. A while back I wrote about Rubio's offensive issues, more specifically is inability to finish strong at the hoop. With the game on the line, Rubio actually came through with the go-ahead layup with 29 seconds to go. It was a strong move that meant a lot to him not only within the game but as a confidence builder for games to come. The confidence comes back in waves and this game did was a healthy boost.
Tom: Here's Chris Johnson doing awesome Chris Johnson-y things.
Two Negatives:
Jonah: Props to Wolves Radio for this assist, but the Wolves have allowed opponents to shoot 50% or more in six of the last nine games. Now that's a testament to the current roster makeup, which is obviously alarming, yet the absence of Rick Adelman is certainly missing on the defensive end of the court. With a depressing mindset sprinkling in, the first ability to go is your defensive intensity; it's not an aspect of many players' games that they really want to exert energy and succeed at. But without a coach to fire up the squad and challenge them to defend, things only get worse. And that's where we're at.
Tom: Here's JJ Barea doing awful, sad, depressing JJ Barea things.
Two Observations:
Jonah: The Charlotte Bobcats' backcourt (Kemba Walker, Gerald Henderson, Ben Gordon and Ramon Sessions) torched the Wolves for 81 points on 51% shooting. Yowzas.
Tom: And here's Gerald Henderson making a game-winning 3-pointer with just a few sec-… *sobs uncontrollably*
Next up: Wolves comes home to take on the Clippers on Wednesday night, 7 pm.

This guy is ridiculously brilliant. He walked in the room when another radiologists was reviewing my films with me, and he picked up the diagnosis in a second, right after I spent 10 minutes with the other doctor who gave me incorrect information. The other doctor told me Dr. Beller is the one they all go to if they have a problem or a question. I don't know where he trained, but he was well trained. He's the one to ask for!!!

Q. Home improvement store Lowe's has pulled its advertising from the TLC reality show "All-American Muslim" because of a campaign by the conservative Florida Family Assn. The FFA claims that "'All-American Muslim' is propaganda that riskily hides the Islamic agenda's clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values." Residents in Dearborn, Mich., where the show is filmed, called the move "a slap in the face of our rich American diversity."
In an email to the FFA, Lowe's said, "[T]here are certain programs that do not meet Lowe's advertising guidelines, including the show you brought to our attention. Lowe's will no longer be advertising on that [All American Muslim] program."
Los Angeles Times said, "[T]he general impression is one of a lot of nice people — most of them Dearborn born-and-bred, solid Midwesterners with Middle Eastern roots — trying to lead happy lives."
The backlash against Lowe's has been quick and vociferous, with thousands of comments on its Facebook page and hundreds of blog posts attacking its move. The hacker group Anonymous even brought down the FFA's website on Dec. 13, just hours after the announcement.
On the other hand, many support the FFA and Lowe's stance. The blog www.barenakedislam.com, which labeled "All-American Muslim" a "shameful propaganda program," said in a post, "BNI and its readers send heartfelt thanks to the Florida Family Association for their help in educating TLC advertisers about the fraud being perpetrated by that show re: Islamic community in this country."
Has Lowe's acted correctly in pulling its advertising from the show?
When I first heard that Lowe's had pulled its ad, I was furious — but then I realized that other businesses had pulled their ads, too. So the problem isn't only with Lowe's. Also, shouldn't businesses be able to make free choices about with whom they advertise? Of course they should.
The deeper and more insidious issue (other than lily-livered advertisers being bullied by the FFA — what's that stand for, anyway, "Fervent Fanatics of America"?) is the refusal of some folks in America to realize that not all Muslims are fanatics. I just hope that Muslims and Jews realize that not all Christians are fanatics.
The Dearborn, Mich., Muslim community has been there since long before 9/11. Believe it or not, some Muslims came to America to escape the oppression of their native countries, and for the same reasons some of our forefathers came: to worship in peace, to have a safe place to live and to raise a family. So to tar all Muslims with the same brush is criminal, and about as unChristian and unAmerican as you can get.
I wasn't alive when Pearl Harbor happened, but I'm ashamed of what my country did then. The good ol' Land of the Free, Home of the Brave rounded up anybody with a Japanese name (at least on the West Coast), took away their businesses, and shipped them off to concentration camps. We had a reason: They looked like the enemy. And we were afraid.
Fear does crazy things to some people. Remember the old Twilight Zone episode called, "Monsters on Main Street"? It showed what fear can do to a civilized people. So I'm ashamed of Lowe's and other advertisers who knuckled under to bigotry. But I'll save my deeper disgust for the Freaking Fanatics of America. It's Christmas, FFA, so don't forget to go to church. Blecchh!
The Rev. Skip Lindeman
La Cañada Congregational Church
La Cañada Flintridge
By pulling its advertising from a show that has no agenda other than simply following the daily lives of a group of American Muslims, Lowe's has demonstrated a clear lack of business and ethical principles.
Lowe's unfortunate action makes it obvious that its organizational environment is not grounded in basic ethical values of diversity that is commonplace in corporate America — the authentic diversity that makes both business sense and advances our nation to be truly exceptional among nations as engraved on the Statue of Liberty in New York: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."
No other country on earth values and thrives on diversity like the U.S. But instead of celebrating that diversity, Lowe's has chosen to pander to an extremist organization such as the Florida Family Association, a narrow-minded special-interest group that seeks to trash our shared values of religious freedom and equal treatment of all faiths. By making the absurd claim that the show hides "the Islamic agenda's clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values," FFA — and, in turn, Lowe's, by succumbing to FFA's demands — demonstrates its complete ignorance of Islam and American Muslims, promoting Islamophobia and spreading hate and bigotry instead of the shared religious values of neighborly love and mutual understanding.
Lowe's corporate culture needs a fundamental shift, either through replacing its management team or retraining that team's members, so that it would begin to value the time-honored American tradition of diversity and embody the corporate standards of most American companies.

- Biography
Playwright, poet, short-story and children's writer John Agard was born on 21 June 1949 in British Guiana (now Guyana).
He worked for the Guyana Sunday Chronicle newspaper as sub-editor and feature writer before moving to England in 1977, where he became a touring lecturer for the Commonwealth Institute, travelling to schools throughout the UK to promote a better understanding of Caribbean culture. In 1993 he was appointed Writer in Residence at the South Bank Centre, London, and became Poet in Residence at the BBC in London, an appointment created as part of a scheme run by the Poetry Society in London. He also played a key role in the 'Windrush' season of programmes in 1998. He won the Paul Hamlyn Award for Poetry in 1997 and has travelled extensively throughout the world performing his poetry.
His published poetry includes Man to Pan (1982), winner of the Casa de las Américas Prize, Limbo Dancer in Dark Glasses (1983), Mangoes and Bullets: Selected and New Poems 1972-84 (1985) and Weblines (2000). He is also the author of many children's books, including Lend Me Your Wings (1987), shortlisted for the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize, and Hello New!: New Poems for a New Century (2000), named by the Poetry Society as a Children's Poetry Bookshelf Best Anthology. He has contributed to, and edited, several anthologies, including The Penguin Book of Caribbean Verse (1986), and is also co-editor of A Caribbean Dozen (1994) with his partner, the poet Grace Nichols, with whom he also co-wrote No Hickory, No Dickory, No Dock in 1991. Their latest collaboration is Tiger Dead! Tiger Dead! Stories from the Caribbean (2008).
John Agard lives in south-east England. His poetry collection We Brits (2006), was shortlisted for the 2007 British Book Awards Decibel Writer of the Year award, and The Young Inferno (2008), a poetic reworking of Dante's Inferno for young people, won the 2009 CLPE Poetry Award. His latest poetry collection is Clever Backbone (2009). A further Selected Poems, Alternative Anthem, was also published in 2009.
Critical Perspective
'Explain yuself / wha yu mean / when yu say half-caste / yu mean when picasso / mix red an green / is a half-caste canvas'? So questions the narrator of John Agard's well-known poem 'Half-caste', a wry, imaginative and darkly comic take on racial misconceptions and divisions.
Now a longstanding feature on the National Curriculum, it is a typically energetic Agard poem that, combined with his flamboyant and inimitable performance style, has helped to make his work hugely popular among schoolchildren from across the country. But Agard is a varied and ambitious writer, and as well as books for children, he has published many poetry collections for adults, addressing such varied subject matters as race, ethnicity, morality, ancient mythology, the literary canon, academia, and recent technological advancement. In their blend of puckish wit, social observation and playful humour, these poems often revel in disrupting the establishment and accepted opinion; running the stylistic gamut from freewheeling, grammarless performance pieces to traditional metered and rhymed forms, as well as mixing 'straight' English with the Caribbean Creole of Agard's own cultural background.
Born in Guyana, South America in 1949, John Agard moved to Britain in 1977. A prize-winning collection of poems, Man To Pan, appeared in 1982, introducing a poetry of unusual imagination that drew deeply from the Caribbean, while adopting the leitmotif of Pan as a symbol of cultural heritage and unity. This central theme gestures to both the Caribbean steelpan drums of calypso and the Greek prefix meaning 'all' or 'of everything', as well as to the Greek god of nature and rejuvenation. But the collection is more than merely celebratory, and also mines the dark history of slavery that lies behind Caribbean cultures. 'Pan Recipe', for example, describes 'bring[ing] memories to boil' and 'add[ing] pinch of pain / to rain of rage'; imagining the Caribbean's history boiling like a viscous broth over a fire, 'watch[ing] fever grow // till energy burst / with rhythm thirst'. Man to Pan was swiftly followed by Limbo Dancer in Dark Glasses (1983), where the distinctly Caribbean tradition of limbo is explored in a sequence of often anaphoric poems which trace the dance back to the slave ships, while also firmly locating limbo within the contemporary world. In 'Limbo Dancer at Immigration', for instance, the authorities 'look limbo dancer up & down / scrutinising passport with a frown', noting his 'COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: SLAVESHIP', while in 'Rainbow', the poet imagines that rain clouds passing under a rainbow 'is God doing limbo'.
Mangoes and Bullets, a collection of this early work with new poems, was published in 1985. It contains poems that remain among Agard's most widely-known, including the riotous rhymes of 'Listen Mr Oxford don' ('I don't need no hammer / to mash up yu grammar') and the long poem 'English Girl Eats Her First Mango', revealing a lush and vividly sensual side to Agard's poetry:
'and I remind she
that this ain't
apple core
so don't forget
the seed
suck that too
the sweetest part
the juice does run
down to you heart
man if you see
the English rose
she face was bliss
down to the pink
of she toes
and when she finish
she smile
and turn to me […]'
Mangoes and Bullets also includes 'Palm Tree King', a poem which encapsulates many of the admirable qualities of Agard's early work. This piece, in its blend of inventive rhyme with loose, grammarless lines, a fun-poking, humorous tone, and serious musings on Caribbean tradition and history, subtly invites the reader into a consideration of the culturally unfamiliar and so succeeds, as Peter Forbes has stated of Agard's work more generally, in 'help[ing] to make Caribbean culture accessible to a wide audience'. For Agard, this audience includes children and teenagers as much as adults. Between Mangoes and Bullets and the publication of his next volume of poems, Lovelines to a Goat-Born Lady (1990), several collections of his own poems for children and those which he has edited appeared, including the Smarties Book Prize-shortlisted Lend Me Your Wings (1987), Life Doesn't Frighten Me At All (1989) and Laughter is an Egg (1990).
In fact, before the appearance of From the Devil's Pulpit (1997), his first poetry collection to be published by Bloodaxe Books, Agard's array of children's books grew further still, combining his storytelling panache and mischievous brand of humour with a sharp eye for the issues of modern life, not to mention his understanding of a young mind's questions and interests. These range from the more mature themes of self-identity (Get Back, Pimple!, 1996) and ecological concerns (We Animals Would Like a Word With You, 1996), to introductions for youngsters to life's big questions (Why is the Sky?, 1996) and the world of shapes and geometry (Come Back To Me, My Boomerang, 2001); the latter including a clever dialogue poem between a circle and a square on their uniquely respective qualities.
Weblines, Agard's second book with Bloodaxe, appeared in 2000. Following on from his thematic collection From the Devil's Pulpit – a meditation on the Devil as a necessary evil and creatively anarchic power, in poems which fuse modern life with artistic and religious symbolism – Weblines demonstrates a move from pseudo-parable to fable, in a sequence of poems on the spider trickster god, Anansi. Rooted in the oral tradition of West Africa and the Carribean, Anansi is a (perhaps surprisingly) apt character through which to view the diversity and plurality of the modern era, and Agard puts the shapeshifter to good use in poems exploring subjects such as national identity, capitalism, gender and – no doubt finding the metaphor of 'the web' hard to resist – the internet. In one poem, Agard even has the spider god doing 'Nansi Airobics': 'spin and weave / bend those kness // spiral torso / low as limbo // tangle limbs / in webs of vertigo // the dance ends / when your thread runs out'.
Agard's most recent collections of poems are We Brits (2006) and Clever Backbone (2009), between which he completed The Young Inferno (2008), a highly accessible and distinctly contemporary version of Dante's Inferno for young readers, with illustrations from Satoshi Kitamura. We Brits returns to Agard's early interest in simultaneously celebrating and unpicking British culture via his position as both insider and outsider; mixing cricket, English Lit., rhododendrons and the 'stiff upper lip' with gently subversive thoughts on celebrated (and not so celebrated) Britons, including William Wordsworth, Charles Darwin, Enoch Powell and Shakespeare. As Jeremy Noel-Tod remarked in a review in The Guardian, however, 'Agard's new couplets [often seem] about as revolutionary as Betjeman's', and one begins to crave the grammatical mash-ups and genuine excitement of Agard's early poems over this comparatively watered-down work. Similarly, in the more recent Clever Backbone, what promises to be a series of mischievous and satirical poems on Darwinian evolution is somewhat compromised by the demands of tightly rhymed and metered sonnet forms, delivering a handful of witty and stimulating pieces, but also much thematic and stylistic repetition. Luckily, Clever Backbone is published alongside the substantial Alternative Anthem (2009), a rich selection of Agard's best poems for adults and children to date. Including a live CD of the poet performing his work, it is this broad Selected Poems which confirms Agard as an important and – at his best – uniquely inventive talent; 'rich in literary and cultural allusion', as Helen Dunmore has commented of his work, 'yet as direct as a voice in the bus queue'.

- Know Your Contractor: Know Your Home Improvement Rights.
Home improvement is an exciting prospect. Second to buying our home, embarking upon a home improvement project can be an expensive endeavor and its success depends on careful selection of a reputable contractor.
Unfortunately, over the last two years alone, our office has received complaints from homeowners across the state about unscrupulous contractors who, among other things, accepted money but failed to complete the job or performed work that was shoddy or negligent.
Our office has investigated these many complaints, successfully recovered thousands of dollars in restitution for defrauded New Yorkers, obtained court orders banning unscrupulous contractors from doing business in the state, and in some instances criminally prosecuted fraudulent contractors.
Know Your Contractors: Know Your Rights is an educational program designed to equip you with necessary knowledge to help protect yourself from home improvement scams. The program shows you how to use your rights under New York State's Home Improvement Laws and gives you critical tips to assist you in selecting a reputable contractor.

- Immigration Services Provider Fraud: Know Your Rights.
Our immigrant communities are an important component of the rich cultural fabric of our State. Unfortunately, many immigrants who seek to adjust their immigration status are victimized by fraudulent immigration service providers. The consequences can be devastating.
Immigration Services Fraud: Know Your Rights is a presentation designed to inform immigrant communities about their rights and options under the law as they build a future in New York. The presentation discusses individual cases brought by the office against unscrupulous lawyers or non attorney immigration service providers. It also highlights immigrant rights under the law and provides vital links to external agencies and resources.

- NYOpenGovernment.com: Integrity, Accountability, Reform in Government.
NYOpenGovernment.com - www.nyopengovernment.com/NYOG/index.jsp - is a government accountability and transparency web site that gives you unprecedented access to state and local government information. Our goal is to promote disclosure and increase government's transparency and accountability to you. The website was first launched in 2007. Based on the feedback from the public on how to improve and expand the site, an updated version was unveiled in April 2009. The new version has enhanced the site's status as a one-stop resource for government information.
- Student Loans: Safeguarding Your Future - One Student Loan at a Time.
Our Office's investigation of the $85 billion student loan industry uncovered widespread conflicts of interest and deceptive practices in the student loan industry. During the investigation, the Office developed a Code of Conduct that prohibited these practices and some of the nation's largest lenders and more than twenty-six colleges and universities agreed to abide by it. In 2007, the Code of Conduct was adopted by New York States' legislature in the Student Lending Accountability, Transparency, and Enforcement (SLATE) Act, making New York the first state in the nation to extend protections to students and their families. The principles of SLATE have now been codified by the U.S. Congress and are the law of the land. With the passage of these laws, students rights are protected nationwide, wherever they go to school, whether inside or outside of New York.
Safeguarding Your Future: One Student Loan at a Time is an educational, interactive DVD program that shows you what the investigation found and how the student loan process has been reformed. The DVD is designed to help students and families navigate the financial aid process, minimize borrowing and, to the extent loans are needed, get the best available loans at the best terms.

- Internet Safety: Protecting Your Child's D.I.G.I.T.A.L Life.
While the internet has become a valuable and indispensable tool in our modern lives, children are also using the Internet as an online playground and can be exposed to real dangers. They socialize, post pictures and videos, play video games, and share experiences with friends and friends of friends. Unfortunately, strangers also have access to these conversations, pictures and videos. When our kids are online, they can be exposed to real dangers - among them, pornography, sexual predators, identity theft and cyber bullying. This is why the office has made the online safety of children a priority.
Internet Safety: Protecting Your Child's D.I.G.I.T.A.L Life stems from the work of the office to make online activity safer. The presentation, developed in collaboration with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, educates parents about what their children are doing online and how they can protect them from perils that are unique to online life.
The goal is to inform parents that while the Internet is an amazing educational and communication resource, understanding the dangers lurking in the cyber world can help parents and guardians keep their children safe online.

- Identity Theft: Protecting You from America's Fastest Growing Crime.
Identity theft - the unlawful use of an individual's personal information - is a crime and its consequences can be devastating. Identity thieves steal information such as your name, social security number, driver's license information, or bank and credit card accounts and use the information to establish credit, make purchases, apply for loans or even seek employment. Victims can spend months, if not years, and thousands of dollars cleaning up their good name, their credit history, and their personal records. This is why it's critical to educate yourself in advance to safeguard your identity and know how to prevent and respond to the crime.
Identity Theft: Protecting You from America's Fastest Growing Crime is an educational presentation designed to help you protect and defend yourself against this crime. The presentation identifies exactly what constitutes identity theft under state and federal law, exposes the different tactics identity thieves use to steal an identity, and provides critical resources to minimize risk of becoming a victim.

Eddie Murphy Raw (1987) is an American stand-up comedy film directed by Robert Townsend and starring Eddie Murphy. It was Murphy's second feature stand-up film, following Eddie Murphy Delirious. However, unlike Delirious, Raw received a wide theatrical release. The 93-minute show was filmed in New York City's Felt Forum, a venue in the Madison Square Garden complex.
After the initial sketch and into the live show itself Murphy begins by saying how various people he referenced responded to their mention in his previous stand-up show, Delirious, specifically Mr. T and Michael Jackson. Murphy also talks about a phone call he received from Bill Cosby in which he said that his son, Ennis, heard his profanity and requested that Murphy not say the word "fuck" on stage again, and began chastising him for his offensive material. Murphy then went on to say that he called Richard Pryor and told him about what Cosby said. Pryor responded angrily, calling Cosby a "Jell-O Puddin' eatin' motherfucka", and that if Murphy's fans think it was funny, then Cosby has no business telling him how to do his act. Murphy also talks about how Pryor was an inspiration to Murphy. He talks about how he was inspired by Pryor, whom he called "raw". Murphy then went into one of his old jokes, a bit about a flushing failure, while imitating Pryor's voice. He then goes on to talk about how people who don't speak English only picking up the curse words in his act, and repeating them back to him.
His next bit is about STDs, which Murphy then segues into jokes about relationships; notably of the practice that developed during the 1980s of wives divorcing their husbands and taking "HALF!", as well as about the faults of both men and women and how the opposite sex exploit those weaknesses, basing it on the message in the song "What Have You Done for Me Lately". He jokes that he intends to go deep into Africa to find a "bush bitch" who has no concept of Western culture in order to get a wife who (he hopes) will not divorce him. He also makes passing references to Japanese women who are supposedly very obedient to their husbands.
Murphy delivers a well-received segment on Italian-Americans, on their stereotypical behavior, especially how they behave after seeing a Rocky movie. He then talks about white people's apparent inability to dance. He later talks about his experience in a nightclub where an Italian-American started a fight with Murphy, causing a large brawl, the end result of which saw Murphy getting sued for millions of dollars by all involved and even a few who were not involved.
Murphy also talks about his rude mother making him "the biggest homemade onion-and-green-pepper hamburger that was shaped like a meatball on Wonder Bread", and an exaggerated account on how poor his family was, eventually going into a routine impersonating his father drunk, which follows on from the nightclub brawl segment.
The film contained the word "fuck" 223 times,[2] setting the record for highest "fuck count" ever in a feature-length, theatrically-released film at the time (surpassing Scarface). Raw held the record until 1990 before being surpassed by Goodfellas and many more.

WWDC is coming soon and rumors are already flying. Among the numerous tidbits is the suggestion that Apple will announce a major version update to OS X, which is sure to get more than a few fanboys raging.
The biggest change to OSX 10.6 is that Apple will be abandoning support for non-Intel machines. For those that own legacy equipment OSX 10.5 is the end of the line. While the few and the loud will bemoan this move to no end, it does make sense. It is time to move forward.
"Snow Leopard" as the update is known builds on a little from "Leopard." Apple's goal is to provide greater speed and stability. Considering the fact that all of the Macs on the market are plenty fast enough, we have to wonder if there is a new low-powered portable in the works; say an Atom system for example.

Fun fact of the week: did you know that around 7% of the viewers of the Superbowl watch solely for the commercials? Well, now you do! Think about it! Who watches anything only for the commercials? What other event brings in those kinds of numbers in favor of the advertisers? Only the Superbowl.
For my Ad Literacy class we had a very grueling and long project to complete this past weekend. What was that project? Watch the Superbowl commercials and blog about them after, of course! So to complete this task, I went over to my friend's apartment where we made dinner and cupcakes, read for various classes, analyzed the commercials, and, oh, watched a little of the game too! What were the findings after an eventful evening? Jambalaya is good, funfetti cupcakes are amazing, reading during the Superbowl is probably a little too much multi-tasking (but, it worked!), the game was pretty good, and the commercials were terrible. Yep. Sunday in a nutshell! I think that I may be starting to like school projects!
Hope y'all are having a good week! Until next time, Pony Up!

Find out about our history, mission and the way we do business.
From food & beverages to home & personal care, our brands are part of everyday life.
Find out how we are making sustainability a driver of everything we do so that each time a consumer chooses one of our products, it improves their life, their community and the world we all share.
Learn how Unilever's innovations build leading brands and develop our capacity to meet consumer needs for nutrition, hygiene and personal care.
As part of our commitment to sustainable living, the Unilever Foundation has partnered with Save the Children to improve the lives of 2 million children and their mothers by 2016 by providing access to health workers, basic nutrition and life-saving interventions.
The number of children dying every year has almost halved since 1990, down from 12 million then to 6.6 million in 2012, with 90 million children prevented from dying over that period.
This dramatic progress has brought us to a tipping point in human history. We could be the first generation to make sure no child dies from diarrhoea or pneumonia; that no child starves to death or faces a life sentence of hunger.
But 18,000 children still die every day, mostly from diseases we know how to treat or prevent, or simply because they can't get enough to eat.
To help end this injustice, the Unilever Foundation has made a three-year, €15 million commitment to Save the Children's biggest-ever global campaign, EVERY ONE. As a lead global partner Unilever is working with Save the Children to stop the needless deaths of millions of children and their mothers.
Together we have identified five priority countries – Bangladesh, China, Kenya, Nigeria and Pakistan to improve access to health workers and ensure that children in need are reached with transformational health and nutrition programmes, and life-saving interventions.
The partnership also provides a platform to generate public and political support. Together we are working to trigger a global breakthrough on child survival and to help accelerate progress so millions of children have the chance to grow up and fulfil their potential. We want to inspire people across the world to join the cause.
In addition to being a key partner of Save the Children's global EVERY ONE campaign, the Unilever Foundation also supports local programmes in Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Haiti, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Sri Lanka, Sweden, the Philippines and the UK. These partnerships are helping to support Save the Children's national programmes, addressing key issues in the communities in which Unilever operates.
It doesn't stop there. The Unilever Foundation has also committed to supporting Save the Children's emergency work before, during and after emergencies strike. Specifically, we are supporting Save the Children in Myanmar, the Philippines, Somalia, South Sudan and Syria.
Unilever is also supporting Save the Children's Humanitarian Health Workers programme to significantly increase the capacity of front line health workers to ensure children caught up in the most desperate situations get the care they need. Through this support, we have enabled Save the Children to respond to the largest emergencies and also those which do not make the headlines.
We also engage our consumers and retailers through Wall's Ice Cream, one of Unilever's biggest global brands. We have launched a campaign with Save the Children to raise awareness and provide an opportunity for the pubic to support Save the Children's work. In 2013 the campaign successfully launched in the UK and Italy, and in 2014, launches in Sweden and the Philippines.
Our employees also have chance to engage with the partnership, visiting programmes on the ground in different countries and bringing back their firsthand impressions from the field to share both internally and externally (see Unilever Ambassador tabs on the left hand side).
By the end of the first year of the partnership's programme work, we aim to have helped over 1 million people have access to health workers, basic nutrition and life saving interventions. We expect that up to 5,000 health service providers will have been trained and that up to 550,000 women and children will have directly benefited as a result of our support – making a significant contribution to ending the needless deaths of children.
"We have made dramatic progress, in recent years, to cut child deaths. This is inspiring. We could be the generation that ensures no child dies from preventable illnesses like diarrhoea, pneumonia. The lifesaving partnership with Unilever could be the catalyst to help drive and accelerate this progress." – Justin Forsyth, Chief Executive, Save the Children UK.
