Protein Processing: Digestion, Absorption, and Metabolism
Protein Requirement and Nutrition
Protein are compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, which are arranged as strands of amino acid. They play an essential role in the cellular maintenance, growth, and functioning of the human body. Serving as the basic structural molecule of all the tissues in the body, protein makes up nearly 17% of the total body weight. To understand

protein's role and function in the human body, it is important to understand its basic structure and composition.
Amino Acids
atom (H), and a fourth group, referred to as the R-group, that determines the structural identity and chemical properties of the amino acid. The first three groups are common to all amino acids. The basic amino acid structure is R-CH(NH2)-COOH.
There are twenty different forms of amino acids that the human body utilizes. These forms are distinguished by the fourth variable substituent, the R-group, which can be a chain of different lengths or a carbon-ring structure. For example, if hydrogen represents the R-group, the amino acid is known as gly-cine, a polar but uncharged amino acid, while methyl (CH3) group is known as alanine, a nonpolar amino acid. Thus, the chemical components of the R-group essentially determine the identity, structure, and function of the amino acid.
The structural and chemical relatedness of the R-groups allows classification of the twenty amino acids into chemical groups. Amino acids can be classified according to optical activity (the ability to polarize light), acidity and basicity, polarity and nonpolarity, or hydrophilicity (water-loving) and hydrophobicity (water-fearing). These categories offer clues to the function and reactivity of the amino acids in proteins. The biochemical properties of amino acids determine the role and function of protein in the human body.
Of the twenty amino acids, eleven are considered nonessential (or dispensable ), meaning that the body is able to adequately synthesize them, and nine are essential (or indispensable), meaning that the body is unable to adequately synthesize them to meet the needs of the cell. They must therefore be supplied through the diet. Foods that have protein contain both nonessential and essential amino acids, the latter of which the body can use to synthesize some of the nonessential amino acids. A healthful diet, therefore, should consist of a sufficient and balanced supply of both essential and nonessential amino acids in order to ensure high levels of protein production.
Protein Quality: Nutritive Value
The quality of protein depends on the level at which it provides the nutritional amounts of essential amino acids needed for overall body health, maintenance, and growth. Animal proteins, such as eggs, cheese, milk, meat, and fish, are considered high-quality, or complete, proteins because they provide sufficient amounts of the essential amino acids. Plant proteins, such as grain, corn, nuts, vegetables and fruits, are lower-quality , or incomplete, proteins because many plant proteins lack one or more of the essential amino acids, or because they lack a proper balance of amino acids. Incomplete proteins can, however, be combined to provide all the essential amino acids, though combinations of incomplete proteins must be consumed at the same time, or within a short period of time (within four hours), to obtain the maximum nutritive value from the amino acids. Such combination diets generally yield a high-quality protein meal, providing sufficient amounts and proper balance of the essential amino acids needed by the body to function.
Protein Processing: Digestion, Absorption, and Metabolism
The cells of the small intestine actively absorb the amino acids through a process that requires energy. The amino acids travel through the hepatic portal vein to the liver, where the nutrient are processed into glucose or fat (or released into the bloodstream). The tissues in the body take up the amino acids rapidly for glucose production, growth and maintenance, and other vital cellular functioning. For the most part, the body does not store protein, as the metabolism of amino acids occurs within a few hours.
Amino acids are metabolized in the liver into useful forms that are used as building blocks of protein in tissues. The body may utilize the amino acids for either anabolic or catabolic reactions . Anabolism refers to the chemical process through which digested and absorbed products are used to effectively build or repair bodily tissues, or to restore vital substances broken down through metabolism. Catabolism, on the other hand, is the process that results in the release of energy through the breakdown of nutrients, stored materials, and cellular substances. Anabolic and catabolic reactions work hand-in-hand, and the energy produced in catabolic processes is used to fuel essential anabolic processes. The vital biochemical reaction of glycolysis (in which glucose is oxidized to produce carbon dioxide, water, and cellular energy) in the form of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is a prime example of a catabolic reaction. The energy released, as ATP, from such a reaction is used to fuel important anabolic processes, such as protein synthesis.
The metabolism of amino acids can be understood from the dynamic catabolic and anabolic processes. In the process referred to as deamination, the nitrogen-containing amino group (NH2) is cleaved from the amino acid unit. In this reaction, which requires vitamin B6 as a cofactor, the amino group is transferred to an acceptor keto-acid, which can form a new amino acid. Through this process, the body is able to make the nonessential amino acids not provided by one's diet. The keto-acid intermediate can also be used to synthesize glucose to ultimately yield energy for the body, and the cleaved nitrogen-containing group is transformed into urea, a waste product, and excreted as urine.
Vital Protein Functions
Proteins are vital to basic cellular and body functions, including cellular regeneration and repair, tissue maintenance and regulation, hormone and enzyme production, fluid balance, and the provision of energy.
Cellular and tissue provisioning. Protein is an essential component for every type of cell in the body, including muscles, bones, organs, tendons, and ligaments. Protein is also needed in the formation of enzymes, antibody, hormones, blood-clotting factors, and blood-transport proteins. The body is constantly undergoing renewal and repair of tissues. The amount of protein needed to build new tissue or maintain structure and function depends on the rate of renewal or the stage of growth and development. For example, the intestinal tract is renewed every couple of days, whereas blood cells have a life span of 60 to 120 days. Furthermore, an infant will utilize as much as one-third of the dietary protein for the purpose of building new connective and muscle tissues.
Hormone and enzyme production. Amino acids are the basic components of hormones, which are essential chemical signaling messengers of the body. Hormones are secreted into the bloodstream by endocrine glands, such as the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, and other ductless glands, and regulate bodily functions and processes. For example, the hormone insulin, secreted by the pancreas, works to lower the blood glucose level after meals. Insulin is made up of forty-eight amino acids.
Enzymes, which play an essential kinetic role in biological reactions, are composed of large protein molecule. Enzymes facilitate the rate of reactions by acting as catalysts and lowering the activation energy barrier between the reactants and the products of the reactions. All chemical reactions that occur during the digestion of food and the metabolic processes in tissues require enzymes. Therefore, enzymes are vital to the overall function of the body, and thereby indicate the fundamental and significant role of proteins.
Energy provision. Protein is not a significant source of energy for the body when there are sufficient amounts of carbohydrate and fats available, nor is protein a storable energy, as in the case of fats and carbohydrates. However, if insufficient amounts of carbohydrates and fats are ingested, protein is used for energy needs of the body. The use of protein for energy is not necessarily economical for the body, because tissue maintenance, growth, and repair are compromised to meet energy needs. If taken in excess, protein can be converted into body fat. Protein yields as much usable energy as carbohydrates, which is 4 kcal/gm (kilocalories per gram). Although not the main source of usable energy, protein provides the essential amino acids that are needed for adenine, the nitrogenous base of ATP, as well as other nitrogenous substances, such as creatine phosphate (nitrogen is an essential element for important compounds in the body).
Protein Requirement and Nutrition
The recommended protein intake for an average adult is generally based on body size: 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight is the generally recommended daily intake. The recommended daily allowances of protein do not vary in times of strenuous activities or exercise, or with progressing age. However, there is a wide range of protein intake which people can consume according to their period of development. For example, the recommended allowance for an infant up to six months of age, who is undergoing a period of rapid tissue growth, is 2.2 grams per kilogram. For children ages seven through ten, the recommended daily allowance is around 36 total grams, depending on body weight. Pregnant women need to consume an additional 30 grams of protein above the average adult intake for the nourishment of the developing fetus.
Sources of protein. Good sources of protein include high-quality protein foods, such as meat, poultry, fish, milk, egg, and cheese, as well as prevalent low-quality protein foods, such as legumes (e.g., navy beans, pinto beans, chick peas, soybeans, split peas), which are high in protein.
Protein–Calorie Malnutrition
The nitrogen balance index (NBI) is used to evaluate the amount of protein used by the body in comparison with the amount of protein supplied from daily food intake. The body is in the state of nitrogen (or protein) equilibrium when the intake and usage of protein is equal. The body has a positive nitrogen balance when the intake of protein is greater than that expended by the body. In this case, the body can build and develop new tissue. Since the body does not store protein, the overconsumption of protein can result in the excess amount to be converted into fat and stored as adipose tissue. The body has a negative nitrogen balance when the intake of protein is less than that expended by the body. In this case, protein intake is less than required, and the body cannot maintain or build new tissues.
A negative nitrogen balance represents a state of protein deficiency, in which the body is breaking down tissues faster than they are being replaced. The ingestion of insufficient amounts of protein, or food with poor protein quality, can result in serious medical conditions in which an individual's overall health is compromised. The immune system is severely affected; the amount of blood plasma decreases, leading to medical conditions such as anemia or edema; and the body becomes vulnerable to infectious diseases and other serious conditions. Protein malnutrition in infants is called kwashiorkor, and it poses a major health problem in developing countries, such as Africa, Central and South America, and certain parts of Asia. An infant with kwashiorkor suffers from poor muscle and tissue development, loss of appetite, mottled skin, patchy hair, diarrhea, edema, and, eventually, death (similar symptoms are present in adults with protein deficiency). Treatment or prevention of this condition lies in adequate consumption of protein-rich foods.

What is Vitrectomy Surgery?
Vitrectomy surgery is a surgical procedure to remove vitreous gel from the eye. Vitrectomy surgery is often the first step in an eye surgery procedure and is carried out to repair retinal detachment, repair extensive tears in the retina, treat proliferative retinopathy, clear severe cases of vitreous floaters, repair a macular pucker, or as part of the procedure to treat diabetic retinopathy. Vitrectomy surgery is also used to clear blood in the vitreous gel if it fails to clear naturally.

Donald Thomas' road to the Super Bowl is an unusual one. He never played high school football in his home town of West Haven and he was a walk-on to the UConn Huskies.
The 26-year-old was released from the Miami Dolphins and the Detroit Lions, but now he's a member of the Patriots and gearing up to make the trip to Indianapolis for the big game.
When he makes the trip, Thomas' luggage just might contain a collection you would not expect a 300-pound offensive lineman in the NFL to have.
U.S. & World
It's his rubber duck collection.
"We'll see. We've been winning with the ducks," Thomas said.
The collection is in his locker at Gillette Stadium.
One has military fatigues, another is a cat duck, another is pink with a yellow bonnet. All together, Thomas has about 50 ducks.
The collection, he said, started when one of his offensive line buddies started putting them there.
"They look crazy during the week," he said. They are placed randomly on the shelf.
But come game day, he lines them up. He literally puts all his ducks in a row.
Now, he's thinking about bringing the ducks with him to Indianapolis – or having them make the migration.
After a winning season, why break tradition?

Daring Bakers: Cinnamon sticky bunsSunday, September 30th, 2007
This is my third month as a member of the amazing Daring Bakers. The Daring bakers consist of proud women and men that love to bake and are not afraid of baking challenges. The idea of the Daring Bakers is that every month one baking recipe is presented that all members have to follow exactly without any modifications except where specifically allowed. During the month we share our experiences and learn to be better bakers. The recipe, our photos and experiences are then officially posted on a specified day, this time on the 30th of September. This month's challenge was Cinnamon buns and sticky buns. The recipe was picked by Marce at Pip in the City.
Marce let us choose between baking cinnamon buns or sticky buns, or both. I chose to bake sticky buns as that's something we don't have in Sweden contrary to cinnamon buns that are pretty much the first thing children learn to bake here. Cinnamon buns are very popular in Sweden and we even have a cinnamon bun day (4th of October), but we don't have any fondant glaze on top, just nib sugar. And another thing that differs (at least compared with the Daring Baker's challenge) is that we use butter in the cinnamon and sugar filling. Anyway, it was fun to try a new cinnamon bun recipe as I've been using the same one as long as I can remember.
My changes – within the DB rules:
-I used fresh yeast (20 gram) instead of instant yest.
-For the filling I used cinnamon sugar but I also added an additional teaspoon of cinnamon and one teaspoon of cardamon.
-I used chopped pecan nuts on top of the caramel glaze.
-I made the smaller variants, so I had to use two baking pans.
-I substituted the corn syrup for the caramel glaze with a Swedish syrup (ljus sirap) instead.
-I only baked my buns for 25 minutes instead of 30-40 minutes as the recipe says.
-The dough was very easy to make, but I didn't like the amount of time these buns needed to rise; first 2 hours and then 90 minutes. That is just too long when you have an instant craving for cinnamon buns.
-I missed the cardamon that I normally always add to my cinnamon bun dough. But the lemon zest was refreshing and added a nice touch.
-I really liked the buns, they were delicious, probably because of the caramel glaze and pecans. They are soft and the fantastic caramel glaze goes so well with the buns. I will definintly bake them more times. I'm very glad that I did the sticky bun variant though and not the ones with the fondant glaze as I frankly wouldn't call them cinnamon buns as I know them; without the caramel glaze they would have been too dry and there wasn't enough cinnamon in them. I guess that I'm just old fashioned and prefer my classic cinnamon buns in the Swedish way :-) But the sticky buns were great.

- Cinnamon buns and sticky buns
(from Peter Reinhart´s The Break Baker´s Apprentice)
15 minutes mixing; 3 1/2 hours fermentation, shaping and proofing; 20 to 40 minutes baking.
Yield: Makes 8 to 12 large or 12 to 16 smaller cinnamon or sticky buns
6 1/2 tablespoons (3.25 ounces) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
5 1/2 tablespoons (2.75 ounces) shortening or unsalted butter or margarine
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon lemon extract OR 1 teaspoon grated zest of 1 lemon
3 1/2 cups (16 ounces) unbleached bread or all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons instant yeast*
1 1/8 to 1 1/4 cups whole milk or buttermilk, at room temperature OR 3 tablespoons powdered milk (DMS) and 1 cup water
1/2 cup cinnamon sugar (6 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar plus 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, or any other spices you want to use, cardamom, ginger, allspice, etc.)
White fondant glaze for cinnamon buns or caramel glaze for sticky buns (at the end of the recipe.)
Walnuts, pecans, or other nuts (for sticky buns.)
Raisins or other dried fruit, such as dried cranberries or dried cherries (for sticky buns, optional.)
*Instant yeast contains about 25% more living cells per spoonful than active dry yeast, regardless of the brand. Instant yeast is also called rapid-rise or fast-rising.
1. Cream together the sugar, salt, and shortening or butter on medium-high speed in an electric mixer with a paddle attachment (or use a large metal spoon and mixing bowl and do it by hand); if you are using powdered milk, cream the milk with the sugar, and add the water with the flour and yeast. Whip in the egg and lemon extract/zest until smooth. Then add the flour, yeast, and milk. Mix on low speed (or stir by hand) until the dough forms a ball. Switch to the dough hook and increase the speed to medium, mixing for approximately 10 minutes (or knead by hand for 12 to 15 minutes), or until the dough is silky and supple, tacky but not sticky. You may have to add a little flour or water while mixing to achieve this texture. Lightly oil a large bowl and transfer the dough to the bowl, rolling it around to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
2. Ferment at room temperature for approximately 2 hours, or until the dough doubles in size.
3. Mist the counter with spray oil and transfer the dough to the counter. Proceed as shown in the photo on the left for shaping the buns.
(Transcription: (A) Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, lightly dusting the top with flour to keep it from sticking to the pin. Roll it into a rectangle about 2/3 inch thick and 14 inches wide by 12 inches long for larger buns, or 18 inches wide by 9 inches long for smaller buns. Don´t roll out the dough too thin, or the finished buns will be tough and chewy rather than soft and plump. (B)Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the surface of the dough and (C) roll the dough up into a cigar-shaped log, creating a cinnamon-sugar spiral as you roll. With the seam side down, cut the dough into 8 to 12 pieces each about 1 3/4 inches thick for larger buns, or 12 to 16 pieces each 1 1/4 inch thick for smaller buns.)
4. For cinnamon buns, line 1 or more sheet pans with baking parchment. Place the buns approximately 1/2 inch apart so that they aren´t touching but are close to one another.
For sticky buns, coat the bottom of 1 or more baking dishes or baking pans with sides at least 1 1/2 inches high with a 1/4 inch layer of the caramel glaze. Sprinkle on the nuts and raisins (if you are using raisins or dried fruit.) You do not need a lot of nuts and raisins, only a sprinkling. Lay the pieces of dough on top of the caramel glaze, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart. Mist the dough with spray oil and cover loosely with plastic wrap or a food-grade plastic bag.
5. Proof at room temperature for 75 to 90 minutes, or until the pieces have grown into one another and have nearly doubled in size. You may also retard the shaped buns in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, pulling the pans out of the refrigerator 3 to 4 hours before baking to allow the dough to proof.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) with the oven rack in the middle shelf for cinnamon buns but on the lowest shelf for sticky buns.
7. Bake the cinnamon buns for 20 to 30 minutes or the sticky buns 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown. If you are baking sticky buns, remember that they are really upside down (regular cinnamon buns are baked right side up), so the heat has to penetrate through the pan and into the glaze to caramelize it. The tops will become the bottoms, so they may appear dark and done, but the real key is whether the underside is fully baked. It takes practice to know just when to pull the buns out of the oven.
8. For cinnamon buns, cool the buns in the pan for about 10 minutes and then streak white fondant glaze across the tops, while the buns are warm but not too hot. Remove the buns from the pans and place them on a cooling rack. Wait for at least 20 minutes before serving. For the sticky buns, cool the buns in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes and then remove them by flipping them over into another pan. Carefully scoop any run-off glaze back over the buns with a spatula. Wait at least 20 minutes before serving.
White fondant glaze for cinnamon buns
Cinnamon buns are usually topped with a thick white glaze called fondant. There are many ways to make fondant glaze, but here is a delicious and simple version, enlivened by the addition of citrus flavor, either lemon or orange. You can also substitute vanilla extract or rum extract, or simply make the glaze without any flavorings.
Sift 4 cups of powdered sugar into a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of lemon or orange extract and 6 tablespoons to 1/2 cup of warm milk, briskly whisking until all the sugar is dissolved. Add the milk slowly and only as much as is needed to make a thick, smooth paste.
When the buns have cooled but are still warm, streak the glaze over them by dipping the tines of a fork or a whisk into the glaze and waving the fork or whisk over the tops. Or, form the streaks by dipping your fingers in the glaze and letting it drip off as you wave them over the tops of the buns. (Remember to wear latex gloves.)
Caramel glaze for sticky buns
Caramel glaze is essentially some combination of sugar and fat, cooked until it caramelizes. The trick is catching it just when the sugar melts and lightly caramelizes to a golden amber. Then it will cool to a soft, creamy caramel. If you wait too long and the glaze turns dark brown, it will cool to a hard, crack-your-teeth consistency. Most sticky bun glazes contain other ingredients to influence flavor and texture, such as corn syrup to keep the sugar from crystallizing and flavor extracts or oils, such as vanilla or lemon. This version makes the best sticky bun glaze of any I´ve tried. It was developed by my wife, Susan, for Brother Juniper´s Cafe in Forestville, California.
NOTE: you can substitute the corn syrup for any neutral flavor syrup, like cane syrup or gold syrup.
1. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature.
2. Cream together for 2 minutes on high speed with the paddle attachment. Add 1/2 cup corn syrup and 1 teaspoon lemon, orange or vanilla extract. Continue to cream for about 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
3. Use as much of this as you need to cover the bottom of the pan with a 1/4-inch layer. Refrigerate and save any excess for future use; it will keep for months in a sealed container.

But how can you measure visitor engagement? You can use this awesome model of Eric Peterson or, of course, you can start with more simple metrics like:
- visits per unique visitors
- page views per visit
- video downloads per visit
- average time on site
- frequency of visits
There has been some discussion (e.g. around BBC's iPlayer) that do we have enough network capacity if we are spending more and more video content? Well, that's another story - we have to wait and see how media consuming changes...
One thing I do know: my big brand new TV has been used pretty much by my oldest daughter Mona, and I'm spending more and more time with social media in the evenings. OK, I watch sports of course, but this is why marketers have to measure everything, especially effects of offline and online advertising.
In some point I'll be writing about tracking social media. Check out also this very cool breakdance video from eZ Awards show. You can do this too...after 7 years of practice. Way to go! : )


text: Moses Ludel Report post Posted August 10, 2013 For the lighter weight tow vehicle without a lot of horsepower, a tent trailer can be an excellent solution. The compact SUV, a SWB Jeep 4x4, or even an AWD car* provides a sufficient platform for towing the typical tent trailer. *Note: See my comments following biggman100's reply to this statement. He clarifies the weight of some modern tent trailers; I agree with him that an AWD car is surely not a candidate for the heavier tent trailers available! Always adhere to the vehicle manufacturer's tow rating, recommended trailers and the use of a factory recommended hitch! Tent trailers are available with every kind of accessory, rivaling a travel trailer on a smaller scale. Years ago, we tested a nice StarCraft tent trailer that had hot water, refrigerator, stove, a toilet and shower! Sure, this wasn't Airstream caliber or size, but it did work—well! On the downside, a tent trailer has some drawbacks. From a security standpoint, canvas is not even a slight deterrent to theft break-in or worse, and then there's the "bear syndrome". Leave enough peanut butter, bread and honey scent around, and even some kinds of human scent, and the bears will visit. Even the smallest black bear can rip a tent trailer to shreds in an effort to get a free meal! Not that sheet metal trailers are a failsafe. There are many stories about travel trailers, bed-mounted campers and bears. I'll limit this to an Eastern Sierra, Buckeye Creek campground tale of recent times. Bears out of the Yosemite Valley have found their way into the Bridgeport Valley/Twin Lakes region, and on a regular basis, they visit the campgrounds. A friend who camped there said bears tore through the windows of cabover campers and travel trailers in an effort to reach foodstuff left out and wafting a scent. So any trailer or a camper can be vulnerable, it's just that one swipe of a bear paw can rip apart a tent trailer wall. (In Grizzly country, it takes just a few more "can opener" swings to open a sheet metal wall.) Something to consider...And please, don't feed or encourage the bears, they're drawn to human food and garbage enough! I have also used mini-tent trailers like the USA VenturCraft, even their tiny Sportsman model, on trails like the Rubicon. You often see an M416 trailer doing this kind of duty...These units have no provision beyond stowage and a bed. Their great advantage over tent camping is that the tent trailer places you off the ground and above any accumulation of frost, snow or streaming rain water—above the mice, chipmunks and squirrels, too! Another consideration with tent trailers is the setup time. Even under the best of conditions, it takes from 20-30 minutes to set up the tent trailer. Don't listen to the salesperson, ask them to demonstrate the "10-minute setup". Who knows, maybe times have changed. We set up a tent trailer in a windstorm alongside Highway 50 at a camping spot. Two kids under six years of age stood by watching two adults struggle with the canvas, tubing and braces. It took an hour before we had a meal in front of us. Had this been a sheet metal travel trailer, even in a windstorm, we would have walked through the entry sheet metal door and been cooking a meal within minutes...On that note, there are now tiny, lightweight travel trailers that can be towed readily.

UH Board of Regents approves Peter Crouch as new dean for UH Manoa College of EngineeringUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Mia Noguchi, (808) 956-9095
External Affairs & University Relations
Crouch comes to UH Mānoa from Arizona State University (ASU) where he serves as vice provost for global engagement and dean for the past decade of the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering. He replaces UH Mānoa College of Engineering Dean Wai-Fah Chen, who previously announced his intent to return to the faculty, focusing on research and mentoring doctoral students, when a successor had been identified.
"The College of Engineering is well-positioned for growth, and we believe Peter Crouch has the vision and skills to move us forward in the years ahead," said Mānoa Chancellor Denise Konan. "In his position at Arizona State University, he has been especially successful in nurturing the private industry partnerships that are hallmarks of our most successful programs at Mānoa. We also look forward to enhancing student success under Dean Crouch's leadership."
As dean of ASU's School of Engineering, Crouch leads 11 academic undergraduate programs with over 4,000 students and eight graduate programs with just under 2,000 students. He also manages a total annual budget of $95 million and moved the school to No. 47 in the Top 50 Engineering programs as ranked by US News and World Report.
Prior to his role as dean, he served as the chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering as well as in ASU faculty positions since 1984.
Crouch received his PhD in Applied Sciences from Harvard University, and a MS in Control Theory and BS in Engineering Science from Warwick University. He is also a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers and a member of several professional organizations.

TEXARKANA, Texas, July 16 (UPI) -- A Texas woman said she did not want "anybody to be hurt" as she was sentenced to 18 years Wednesday for sending President Barack Obama a letter laced with ricin.
Shannon Guess Richardson, 36, asked for a shorter sentence during a two-hour hearing in federal court in Texarkana. The 18-year term was set by an agreement when she pleaded guilty in December.
Richardson, a sometime actress, admitted sending two ricin letters. Ricin is a deadly poison made from the seeds of the castor oil plant.
One of the letters was sent to Obama and the other to then-New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
"I never intended for anybody to be hurt," Richardson said. "I do love my country, and I respect my president."
Richardson was also ordered to pay $367,000 in restitution and to spend five years on supervised release when she completes her prison sentence.
According to her IMDB entry, Richardson had small roles in The Vampire Diaries, The Blind Side, and the television series The Walking Dead.

Foundation holds the line on rate increases and appoints new trustees
The board of trustees for the Water Research Foundation, the nation's leading drinking water research organization, met on Saturday, June 13, and voted to hold current subscription rates for the year of 2010.
"We value the support of our more than 900 subscriber members," said Robert C. Renner, the Foundation's executive director. "During these tough economic times, it is the responsibility of the Foundation to be good stewards of subscribers' dollars. In 2008 subscriber dollars were leveraged 1.5 to 1 to provide a greater return on our subscribers' investment."
In an unrelated matter, four new trustees have been appointed to the board. They are: Joseph Mantua, AWWA president elect and project manager at Black & Veatch; John Dyksen, director of capital projects at United Water Management & Services, Inc.; Gregory Heitzman, president and CEO of the Louisville Water Company; and Nilaksh Kothari, general manager of Manitowoc Public Utilities.
In addition, on Saturday the board voted to fund eight new unsolicited research projects.
The board meeting was held in San Diego one day prior to the American Water Works Association annual conference and exhibition.

Police: Argument at Severn house party escalates to shooting
Man injured; Authorities looking for 2 men
Anne Arundel County police say one man was injured after a fight escalated into a shooting at a house party in Severn.
Officers were called to the area of Route 100 and Route 97 for a report of a shooting around 12:30 a.m. Sunday. The officers canvassed the area and found an 18-year-old man, suffering from a gunshot wound, in a vehicle on the side of the road in the area of Routes 100 and 170.
The victim had sustained a minor flesh wound in the upper extremity from a bullet.
During this time, a resident called police to report hearing two shots in the area of the 1500 block of Monard Avenue. Police said they learned the victim was shot on Monard Avenue and officers responding in the roadway in the 1500 block of Monard Avenue were able to find evidence of the incident.
Investigators said there was a party in the 1500 block of Monard Avenue and the victim drove to that location and became involved in a verbal argument, which escalated into the suspect shooting the victim.
The victim and some friends fled the scene to the hospital when officers found them a short time later on the side of the road. The victim was taken to Johns Hopkins and was listed in stable condition.
Police said they are looking for two black men; one with dreadlocks, who was wearing all black Nike clothing. The other suspect was wearing an orange shirt.
Authorities said the investigation is ongoing.

Fantastic News programme
I always watch channel 4 news. It's the only non-biast, professionally presented news coverage on Tv. It's a real disappointment that some people on here measure Cathy Newman's success by the length of her skirt...if you want that kind of talent why not opt for The Sun instead? She's brilliant and talented, not there to be your eye candy.
