Hinsby Cadillo-Quiroz, Ph.D., Arizona State University
A recent paper by E. Yashiro, Hinsby Cadillo-Quiroz and colleagues from Arizona State University and Cornell University (Biogeochemistry, 2011, Online First DOI 10.1007/s10533-011-9644-5) describes a unique study of the composition and diversity patterns of methane-producing Archaea from the Appalachian mountain region. Methanogenic Archaea are ubiquitous in carbon-rich peat soils; however, their diversity, distribution and potential relationship to climate and atmospheric change are not well known. Evaluating multiple sites from an extensive geographical region, including a rich-to-poor environmental gradient, this study assessed the influences of site conditions, site history, and climate on community composition. The study identified broadly distributed plus endemic novel methanogens, as well as a positive relationship between methanogen diversity and rates of CH4 production per site (Pearson r = 0.93). Interestingly, the turnover in community composition between sites was weakly related to geographic distance, whereas variation in soil pH and annual temperature played larger roles. This study concluded that methanogen diversity in peatlands of the central Appalachian region is shaped by present-day environmental conditions, suggesting an influence of impending climatic and environmental changes. Further research on the specific effects of climate change and microbial feedbacks to gas emissions will provide better quantification and prediction of the role of microorganisms in carbon cycling and release of greenhouse gases.
Dr. Cadillo-Quiroz (http://sols.asu.edu/people/faculty/hcadilloquiroz.php) is a microbiologist with broad expertise in ecological and evolutionary studies of methane-producing Archaea and associated Bacteria. He was recently appointed as Assistant Professor of Microbial Ecology in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University. He earned his bachelor's degree and professional title in microbiology with honors from the School of Biological Sciences at San Marcos National University in Lima, Peru. He completed his doctoral degree in microbiology from Cornell University. His research focuses on the ecology, physiology, genomics and evolution of novel methane-producing Archaea inhabiting acidic and circumneutral wetlands storing high levels of organic carbon (peatlands). Specifically, he seeks to identify genetic traits that structure archaeal and bacterial communities and genes or genomic regions unique to these species. In addition, his work assesses the impact of microbial diversity in ecosytem functioning in several environments, and mathematically models rates of ecosystem processes in which these organisms are involved. Prior to his appointment at ASU, Dr. Cadillo-Quiroz was a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Oregon Institute of Ecology and Evolution where he studied the variability of methane production in anaerobic ecosystems. Prior, he was a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Illinois Department of Microbiology where his work focused on the genomics and evolutionary trajectory of populations of the Archaea Sulfolobus islandicus. He has published in Nature, Environmental Microbiology, Applied and Environmental Microbiology, PLoS ONE and other journals. In addition, he is part of multiple interdisciplinary graduate programs at ASU including Biological Design, Environmental Life Sciences, and Molecular and Cellular Biology. His new lab actively seeks to engage underrepresented minority students and Dr. Cadillo-Quiroz is a steering member of several undergraduate research initiatives including REPU (Research Experience for Peruvian Undergraduates).
In July 2006, the Committee on Microbiological Issues Impacting Minorities (CMIIM) of the American Society for Microbiology Public and Scientific Affairs Board developed a monthly e-newsletter which contains information pertinent to minority microbiologists. Currently, there are very few minority-based newsletters for scientists, and there are none for microbiologists.
This e-newsletter provides a central means of distributing pertinent information to underrepresented minorities in the field of microbiology. Some examples include career advice, networking tips, relevant news articles, unique funding and career opportunities, microbiological issues affecting minorities (e.g., HIV), minority issues affecting microbiologists (e.g., minority retention), and scientific articles published by minorities or by minority-serving institutions (MSIs).
The target populations are African-Americans, Latino-Americans, Native Americans, Alaska natives, and Pacific Islanders; however, all ASM members are invited to sign up and to share this information with others who may find this e-newsletter beneficial.
Signing up to receive The Minority Microbiology Mentor is very easy and is open to ASM members and non-members: simply go to: Subscribe to Listserv enter your email address, and select "MinorityMicroMentor" then submit, and you will receive confirmation of your subscription by email. If you are an ASM member, you will be prompted to Log In before signing up.
The Committee on Microbiological Issues Impacting Minorities is chaired by Marian Johnson-Thompson, Ph.D., retired Director of Education and Biomedical Research Development at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health, in Research Triangle Park, NC. The Minority Microbiology Mentor Editor-in-Chief is Dwayne W. Boucaud, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Quinnipiac University Department of Biomedical Sciences in Hamden, CT and the Associate Editor is Crystal N. Johnson, Ph.D., Assistant Professor at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA.

Last four not enough for Murray
Andy Murray is delighted to be in the semi-finals of the French Open - but not yet satisfied.
The Wimbledon champion will face Rafael Nadal on Friday in a rematch of their 2011 semi-final, which the Spaniard won in three tight sets.
Murray arrived in Paris with expectations dampened by patchy form since his back surgery last September and his indifferent record on clay.
While he has made at least two finals at each of the other three grand slams, his run three years ago was his best effort at Roland Garros.
To go any further he will need to do what only Robin Soderling has managed in a decade and beat Nadal at the French Open.
He said: "I t's definitely a big achievement, but that's not what I came here to do. My goals are different and my expectations are different to a lot of people.
"I expect a lot of myself. I put a lot of pressure on myself to perform well at these events, and thankfully I have done okay so far. There's s till hopefully a long way to go in the tournament."
That Murray left Roland Garros on Wednesday night with his place in the last four booked was remarkable in itself.
Mercurial Frenchman Gael Monfils had fought back from two sets down to level the match when the pair began the fifth set at almost 9.20pm.
Monfils had the momentum and Murray's task seemed to be ensuring he was not behind in the decider when they resumed on Thursday.
But, after Murray had held a crucial first game of the set, Monfils collapsed, winning just seven points in the six games to go down 6-4 6-1 4-6 1-6 6-0.
Murray said: "He played a bad fifth set. That's why he lost the match. He made a lot of unforced errors, which he wasn't making in the previous sets. I didn't have to run at all in the fifth set once I got ahead.
"The way that he played the last three or four games, for me it was unexpected, because his level in the third and fourth sets was extremely high. He made very few mistakes.
"But that's the thing about five?set matches, you need to do it for longer than two sets."
Nadal dropped his first set of the tournament but recovered to see off David Ferrer in style in a rematch of last year's final.
The eight-time champion won 13 of the last 14 games in a 4-6 6-4 6-0 6-1 victory.
He insisted he always saw Murray as a danger here, saying: "I'm not surprised Andy is in the semi-finals. He's a candidate to win Roland Garros. Before the tournament he was a candidate to win Roland Garros for me."

The Rehoboth Antiquarian Society secured a $70,000 grant to make Goff Memorial Hall handicapped-accessible, with a proposal to build new bathrooms on the main floor and to improve access to the lower level of the building.
"We have a facility that isn't conducive for access for a certain segment of our population," said Tom Charnecki, president of the organization, which owns the building. "We want to make it available for all and not just the able-bodied. … Goff Hall is kind of a main focal point in the community."
The $70,000 goes toward a $330,000 project to upgrade the nearly 100-year-old building in Rehoboth.
Gov. Deval Patrick heralded $14 million in Massachusetts Cultural Council grants with a celebration in Pittsfield on Monday. The grants comprise 81 projects that are intended to expand education and access to the arts.
"Through this new round of funding, we are continuing to create a more vibrant place for our students to learn, our families to live and our businesses to grow," Patrick said in a statement.
Goff Hall, located on Bay State Road, houses the Blanding Public Library and a large meeting hall, which is often used by nonprofit organizations and for community gatherings. The building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is named after Darius Goff, a major textile manufacturer who was born in Rehoboth in 1809. The existing building was constructed in 1915, a quarter century after the original Goff Holl was built, only to be struck by lightning and burn to the ground in 1911.
"This is long-needed, with all the events we have there," Charnecki said. "The elderly people or people with disabilities aren't able to use it. There are no restroom facilities that are accessible for them. … Also, the children's library, which is in the basement level, does not have handicapped accessibility. This will open that up for them too. It's a necessity."
Much of the problem is because the only bathrooms in the building are located downstairs and are just 2 feet wide and 8 feet long. There is also no elevator or ramp to get from the top to the bottom floor. Charnecki said the solution to access to the bottom floor will be an addition to the back of the building, including a new entrance with a ground level ramp.
Charnecki said that the Rehoboth Antiquarian Society has already raised about two-thirds of the $330,000 project cost, including $165,000 from taxpayers who approved the transfer from the town's Community Preservation Act during the spring Town Meeting. The remaining approximately $95,000 will be raised through fundraisers, or the project will be reduced in size, Charnecki said.
The whole situation is also complicated by an upcoming Proposition 2½ override vote, which will have ramifications on operations at the public library. Several Rehoboth Selectmen and finance committee members have said that the library would likely close and town workers will be laid off if the $1.7 million override is not passed by the voters on July 15 in Rehoboth. However, the Community Preservation Act money is designated for such projects, and can't be redirected to other town expenses besides investment in open space, support for affordable housing or preservation of historic buildings.
The need for the library upgrade project was first discussed around eight years ago when a townwide survey revealed that residents wanted the Blanding Public Library to remain in the building, Charnecki said. The progress from that is to make the building as functional as possible, but it wasn't until recently that such funds were available, he said. But Charnecki said, the improvements have been needed for much longer.
"'Why didn't we do it 10 or 20 years ago?' is probably a better question," he said.
In addition to the Goff Hall grant, Patrick also announced the award of a $30,000 grant to the USS Massachusetts Memorial Committee in Fall River for a feasibility study for a major rebuilding project to create a new "museum standard facility" at Battleship Cove.
Patrons at the Blanding Memorial Library on Monday said that they were happy to hear about the grant and the project.
"I think it's a great idea," said Muriel Cawthorn, a frequent guest at the library. "I think (the disabled and the elderly) have suffered in the past. Once you get inside, all the bathrooms are downstairs and there is no access to the downstairs besides stairs. And if you are handicapped, you can't do that. I think it will be a great improvement."
Craig Ford, who was using the computer at the library on Monday afternoon, noted that some voters might feel conflicted about the project as the town goes through a Proposition 2½ vote as well as the Wheeler Street Bridge project. But Ford said he understands the need to make the library more accessible.
"We're kind of in a pickle right now and need to choose and pick," Ford said. "We'll see what the outcome is going to be. … They are talking about layoffs and a hearing for the Wheeler Street Bridge at the same time and a library addition, people are going to see that and have two different perspectives."
Librarian Susan Robert said that the Goff Hall project is "absolutely" a worthy cause.
"I think it's wonderful," Robert said. "We are not handicapped-accessible and we should be. We have the grant, but we still need to fundraise the other part."

The Light Weight Event System (LWES) is an open source toolkit allowing the exchange of information between machines in a platform agnostic, language neutral, decoupled way. The exchange of information is done in a connectionless fashion using multicast or unicast UDP, using self-describing data so that any platform or language can translate it into its local dialect.
This leads to a system with the following features:
- Fire and forget messaging
- Decoupling of senders (emitter) from receivers (listeners)
- Centerless, no single point of failure
- Support for many to many communications where nodes can enter and leave the system at any time
- Computer language and hardware platform independent
The system consists of two major components:
- Emitter: a source of events, this is usually a server or process that wants to announce something
- Listener: a sink of events which deserializes and processes events on the fly as they are received.
Optionally, one can run a "journaller", which is a listener that writes raw events to a compressed log instead of deserializing the data, effectively deferring deserialization to a later time.
LWES uses key-value pair data types and supports strings as keys and a set of primitive types as values. Note that LWES does not support complex types or nested objects. This was a deliberate design decision in order to constrain the scope of the system and limit data exchanges to just key-value pairs. If you need to exchange complex types or do RPC, tools such as Thrift or Protocol Buffers are probably more appropriate for you.
The Light Weight Event System was originally developed at GoTo.com, which became Overture, which was acquired by Yahoo!, where it was open sourced in 2007. Currently, it is maintained by developers at OpenX as well as some of the original contributors.

In Saturday's 62-51 loss the Lady Bisons held Florida Gulf Coast to 33.3 percent shooting from the field and 30.4 percent from the 3-point arc. When the Lady Bisons face Stetson in a rematch Monday night at Allen Arena at 7 Bennett knows defense and rebounding will be major keys.
"That was a tremendous defensive effort," Bennett said. "If you had told me before the game we would hold Florida Gulf Coast to 33 percent and 30 percent on threes I would have taken it.
"The ball pressure, the positioning and intensity were all really good."
Bennett and his Lady Bisons know what to expect from Stetson. The Lady Bisons beat Stetson 73-72 Jan. 3 in overtime in DeLand, Fla.
"They are very long and athletic," Bennett said. "They push the ball and drive the ball a lot. They will be a real challenge for us. "Natasha Graboski, their center, is 6-foot-3. They have good size overall with a lot of six-footers who play. It will be a defensive and rebounding challenge."
The Lady Bisons are led by guards Jenna Bartsokas and Anna Bowers. Bartsokas is averaging 16.2 points overall, 18.5 in A-Sun games only. Bowers is averaging 13.5 points overall, 12.5 in conference games.
Forward Brittany Duerk is averaging 5.5 rebounds overall, 5.4 in A-Sun games.
Stetson is paced by Victoria McGowan with 14.3 points overall, 15.7 in conference games. Tierra Brown is scoring 13.6 points per game, 14.4 in A-Sun games. Jessica Conner is averaging 11.1 points overall and 13.1 in the A-Sun. She also leads Stetson in rebounds with six per contest.
"Brown is a left-handed wing player who is shooting the ball 42 percent from 3-point range in conference play," Bennett said. "She has always been a nemesis for us.
"They had six players in double figures when we played them down there. There is really not one player you can focus on. They have good balance."
Stetson is 10-10 overall, 6-5 in the A-Sun. The Lady Bisons are 8-13 overall, 5-7 in the conference.
"This is a big game for us," Bennett said. "Stetson has played very well with wins against USC Upstate, Florida Gulf Coast and North Florida.
"We shot the ball extremely well against them the last time we played them. Defensively, we can do a lot of things better. We will see."

Hello, all! My name is Abigail Cucolo and I am the new consultant here at the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum, working with the lovely Barb Cerny and the museum's vintage fashion collection.
Have I mentioned how excited I am? Because I am. SO EXCITED! Excited to be in Alaska (first time!), excited to be surrounded by wonderful fashions and cars through the decades and centuries, and excited to get my hands on a thesaurus at some point, because I really need to start using synonyms for "excited"…
|Abigail did the illustrations shown
here as part of her graduate work.
With a newfound enthusiasm for the symbolism of clothing, I went to the Arts University of Bournemouth to obtain my MA in Costume. A wonderfully independent course (really helps you work on your self-discipline!), I chose to focus my studies on a sociological approach to women's historic costume; specifically, the costume of the New Woman at the turn of the 20th century. A wonderfully tumultuous and progressive period for women's rising independence, the shifting attitudes and increased activity witnessed during that time were well represented through the fast evolution of women's clothing.
Because of my interest in the historical aspects of clothing, I started volunteering and interning in museums (shout out to Shippensburg University's Fashion Archives and the US Army Heritage and Education Center!). When back in the States, I began an internship at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History (a once in a lifetime experience), where during a project I met the curator from the Daughters of the American Revolution Museum. I discovered that she was preparing an exhibit of a topic very close to my heart: the American New Woman. Alden O'Brien (the curator) was kind enough--especially after my embarrassing verbal explosion on how much I loved this period of costume--to take me on as an intern assisting with the installation of this fabulous exhibit Fashioning a New Woman (highly recommended!!! I swear I am not being partial. The displays are numerous, enlightening, and beautifully engaging). It was while working on this exhibit that I was introduced to garment gurus Colleen Callahan and Newbie Richardson. Experts on silhouette, display, and preservation of historic costume, they work with museums and the like to create exhibits that are the most involved to present, but most popular to put on: costume exhibits, of course. These genius ladies helped did a workshop here at the Fountainhead Museum a few years ago, and when Barb mentioned needing help, Colleen (the brilliant woman!) suggested me!And so here I am, readers, fashion and car enthusiasts alike! So happy to be helping Barb and Tim with their beautiful collection! So happy to bring you all more glimpses of that beautiful collection! And so excited…no, thrilled! to be witnessing a proper winter!
