Micro Student Projects
by gwilson on Apr.27, 2009, under Uncategorized
The end of the semester always bring forth a new crop of student research projects from the BIOL 3410 Microbiology lab. The first portion of the course's lab is filled with projects to teach skills and knowledge. Then, in the last 5 weeks of the semester student groups design, conduct, analyze, and present their work.
All of these projects were imagined and conducted by students. They demonstrate the freedom students have in Microbiology to have some fun by using their skills to investigate more deeply an area of the course that was of particular interest to them along the way. Here's a synopsis of some of the projects conducted this spring.
"The inhibition of mannitol use in a Gram positive coccus by bacitracin." One group of students made a very curious observation when they were testing their unknown bacteria for antibiotic susceptibility. One person's Staphylococcus aureus was unable to use mannitol on MSA in the presence of bacitracin. No other Gram positive cocci, including other strains of S. aureus, showed this unusual feature. Their work investigated the phenomenon.
"Growth of bacterial cells in the presence of pomegranate and UV light." This group wanted to test the effectiveness of pomegranate juice as an anticancer agent by using DNA damage induced by UV light as their indicator for cell transformation. They grew cells on media containing pomegranate extract, collected them and exposed them to UV light, and then tested their survival in comparison to controls.
"Growth and identification of bacteria isolated from raw vegetables." With the recent scare posed by Salmonella appearing in foods, this group decided to see whether any particular vegetables posed a greater threat in carrying those bacteria. They found many bacteria and fungi, identified many of the bacteria, but found the vegetables tested were free from Salmonella.
"Impact of tobacco products on the growth of bacteria." Various tobacco products were added to growth media and growth curves were conducted to determine whether bacterial growth was retarded or enhanced.
These projects are indicative of the types routinely seen – students applying the skills learned in the course to study something of interest to them. Are health supplements really effective? Are my vegetables safe? Do the chemicals in tobacco hurt cell growth? If we accomplish in our courses the transference of knowledge to provide answers pertaining to the world at large, we have accomplished education's greatest goal.

Flames Prospect Update, November 12 2012
Ryan Pike
November 12 2012 09:05AM
The clock keeps on ticking on the 2012-13 National Hockey League season, but the Calgary Flames prospects continue to play hockey in stunning ignorance of the fact that hockey is supposed to entirely stop during an NHL lockout. Weird, eh?
Anyhow, while Canada observed Remembrance Day and the United States observed Veterans Day this weekend, there was a lot of hockey being played.
The AHL's Abbotsford Heat did battle with the Oklahoma City Barons, the affiliate of the dastardly Edmonton Oilers, in back-to-back games this weekend. The Baby Flames took three points away from the weekend series against the uber-stacked Barons (who boast two first-overall NHL draft picks) in the form of a 4-0 win Friday night and a 2-1 overtime loss on Saturday.
Goaltender Danny Taylor started both games and made 57 saves over the two games. Forward Paul Byron returned from injury and looked a bit rusty, but gradually improved throughout the weekend. Ben Street was excellent, with three points. T.J. Brodie had two assists and was all over the ice all weekend. Dustin Sylvester had a goal in each game, including the marker that sent Saturday's game into overtime. Roman Horak and Sven Baertschi combined for a single point, but were generally quite good.
The Heat are now 7-1-1-2 overall this season, good enough for fourth place in the AHL's Western Conference. However, they have two games in hand on division-leader Lake Erie, who are a single point ahead of Abbotsford, and who'll visit the Heat for a pair of games on Tuesday and Wednesday.
In the ECHL, Utah lost twice and none of the Flames youngsters did much of anything. Bryan Cameron had two assists, but he probably doesn't count.
Boston College played twice this weekend and won both games. As expected, Johnny Gaudreau and Bill Arnold continued to drive the bus in terms of offense. Gaudreau had three goals over the two games, including the game-winning goals in each contest. Gaudreau continues to make a case for himself as a Hobey Baker candidate; he's got 12 points in 9 games so far, currently sits second in his conference in scoring. He also leads in terms of points-per-game pace and has twice as many game-winning goals (5) than the next-best player.
Heck, Bill Arnold is tied for third in conference scoring with 10 points in 9 games. He's building a strong resume himself, although his game doesn't project to be a high-scoring one. He's one of a few Eagles players with points on both the power-play and the penalty-kill though.
Providence College only played once, losing 4-0 to Massachusetts. Despite the lopsided loss, Jon Gillies made 28 saves and was apparently good. He's emerged as a solid goaltender for the Friars. Mark Jankowski was held off the score-sheet and has 4 points thus far this season.
Michigan State split a weekend series with their arch-rivals from Michigan. Matthew Deblouw had three points and a plus-1 rating on the weekend. He's put up 10 points in 10 games this year, despite being a freshman on a fairly decent team. He'll need to work on his consistency, as he's been scoring in bunches or been held off the board. Still, 10 points as a freshman is pretty good, and he's still got most of the season left.
Edmonton's Laurent Brossoit hasn't been amazing this year. He's still won games, but his underlying numbers have been iffy. But as he begins to get close in on the time of year where Hockey Canada decides who's representing them at the World Juniors, he's starting to round into form. He made 38 saves this weekend against Prince George and has been excellent in November with a 3-1-0 record, 1.75 goals against average and .943 save percentage. Sustainable? Heck no. Closer to where he's been in the last year or so? Definitely.
Portland's Tyler Wotherspoon continues to rack up points. He had a goal and two assists, along with a plus-5 rating, in a trio of back-to-back-to-back Portland games. The Winterhawks won all three games. Wotherspoon has 16 points and a plus-23 rating over 18 games this year.
Quebec's Ryan Culkin returned from the Subway Super Series and reportedly looked...okay. He had an assist and a minus-3 rating in a pair of Remparts wins. Culkin has 17 points in 18 games this season. It helps he's playing on a good team, as the Remparts are one of the best outfits in junior hockey. A rising tide lifts all boats.
Brett Kulak is playing for a bad, bad team in Vancouver. They split their games over the weekend and Kulak had two assists and a minus-4 rating. The Giants are dead-last in the WHL's Western Conference (and ahead of only the Kootenay Ice overall) and Kulak has 11 points this year.
November 12 2012, 09:22AM
Good to see Brossoit shaking off that funk.
Providence lost 4-0 not 4-1.
on the bright side, Kulak was 3rd star last night.
The cupboard is still bare of potentially great prospects.
I would look at a Jay-bo trade to strictly secure a couple of top end prospects...badly needed!
November 12 2012, 10:58AM
Good to see Brossoit shaking off that funk.
Yeah, it'd be nice to have at least one Flames prospect make the Canadian WJC team, and he's about the only one who has a legitimate chance as far as I'm aware. Not sure if Wotherspoon might get an invite to camp or not.
probably not--Canada's pretty solid on D.
In direct contrast, the Flames might have 3 guys on the American team--Gaudreau, Gillies, and Sieloff all have a legitimate shot, though if Gillies makes it he probably won't play all that much behind John Gibson.
apparently Cervenka was cleared to play for Lev Praha (KHL). Mystery solved; it was a back injury.
November 12 2012, 12:12PM

What about Bill Arnold? ... seems like he should have a good shot at the US team
5 game winning goals in 9 games is freaking impressive at any level of hockey. Very intrigued to see just where Gaudreau is able to take his game this season, an appearance at the WJC would be some what telling of his abilities vs the best at his age. On another note, interesting to see Ryan Pinder (voice of the Heat) get into it with Canuckcentric media type Jason Botchford on Twitter last night about the lack of coverage in the Province for the Heat.
What about Bill Arnold? ... seems like he should have a good shot at the US team
Too old. He's a '92.
November 12 2012, 12:47PM

Yeah, I was thinking possibly if the lockout ended prior to camp. Presumably Hamilton and Murray would both be in the NHL, which would open things up a little more on defence.
November 12 2012, 02:44PM
even then, you've got Scott Harrington, Ryan Murphy, Matt Dumba, Ryan Pulock, Morgan Rielly, and presumably Griffin Reinhart ahead of him. If he outperforms Reinhart in camp, though... who knows. They'll want grit to go with all that skill.
But you're right, if the lockout ends before selection camp, Wotherspoon should probably be in the top 12 or so names.
November 12 2012, 02:45PM
heard mention that seiloff was a young dion phanuef like player, lets hope not. quality coaches in windsor with boughner, bobby jones and the gang.
November 12 2012, 04:35PM
Phaneuf minus the offense maybe.
November 12 2012, 04:39PM
@Kent Wilson
Phaneuf minus the offense and stupid decisions. He's also a more agile skater, but he's much smaller.
I don't think there's much similarity between the 2 at all, personally, aside from the fact that they both like to lay out big hits.

Shazia Mirza: Wish You Were Here?
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2004
Internationally acclaimed comedienne Shazia Mirza departs from straight stand-up to reveal stories and characters from her physical and emotional travels.
Original Review:
Catapulted too early into the media spotlight simply because of her race and religion, Shazia Mirza has undergone something of a reinvention for her first solo Edinburgh show.
Gone is the hijab headscarf, gone is the aloof, icy persona, and gone are the solid but soulless one-liners. Instead, her comedy style has matured, and now she appears more as herself, talking about things that happened to her.
The theme of this show is temptation, something with a special resonance for someone whose beliefs prohibit her from alcohol and pre-marital sex.
But these are not, primarily, what she concentrates on, instead using lines like: "I was tempted to tell the truth" to hook any general anecdotes onto her theme. Thus what should have been fascinating instead becomes an amiable observational meander through Mirza's life lacking the impact it could have had.
We hear, for example, about the time she shared a stage with Women's Hour presenter Jenni Murray and was embarrassed by confessing her female role model was Madonna, rather than pretending it was someone more weighty as others had done. As you can imagine, that's not the funniest anecdote in the world.
Some laughs come from emails she had from various fanatics, aggressively criticising her comedy or countless media appearances, even though this is hardly in keeping with the topic of temptation.
Sex, or rather the lack of it is a stronger theme, with Shazia frank about her own virginity, although stopping short of exploring her feelings too deeply. She encounters lesbians, who she unpleasantly identifies by their 'stench', feels bombarded by sexual images and has her opinions influenced by the likes of a 14-year-old pupil from her teacher days becoming pregnant.
It's interesting stuff, and Mirza can hold the crowd with her more conversational style, but the laughs and the insight seem to elude her.
Nonetheless, that she has diverted her comedy towards the more personal marks a significant change in path, and one that may yet lead her to be the great comic she could potentially be, rather than simply the famous one. As her small audience shows, column inches alone do not shift tickets to Edinburgh's comedy cognoscenti.

It was an amazing groundbreaking show i had never heard anybody talk about the things she spoke about in her show it was the most original show I saw this year.She was also very likeable and totally herself, I think greater things are to come from her.
Badly Dubbed Boy - 09/08/2004
I wanted to like this. I really did. But it was a small audience, she never seemed to cope and it was more like an ironic reading of stand-up material rather than an actual performance.

Attempt at world record dive continues
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - A world record attempt continues on South Holston Lake.
Gate City, Virginia native Jerry Hall has been under water since Saturday and he's hoping to stay completely submerged through Friday. Click here to read more.
We wanted to know how Hall is holding up. We got the chance to talk with him thanks to an underwater camera (pictured above).
When asked how he's doing, Hall said, "I cannot complain."
Hall is passing the time by watching movies, talking with friends, and even eating small bites of food.
Hall says he has even been sleeping well underwater. "I actually slept really good last night. I mean I'm in the world's largest water bed," he laughed.
A special cream is being used on Hall's hands and feet so they don't become too wrinkly from the water.
A team of at least 20 volunteer divers is also working to make sure Hall has a steady supply of water and Gatorade. "We check him and watch him and see how he does answering some simple questions, following some simple commands," adds Bean.
If it goes as planned, Hall will be in the water until Friday around noon. That would mean he not only breaks the World Record, but adds several more hours onto it, making it harder for someone else to top.

Caraway Seed Rye Bread RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 2 2
IT WAS probably 45 years ago when the thrashers came to dinner at our house and Mother served this bread. Today, every time I bake it, I get nostalgic for those days. My parents were emigrants from Czechoslovakia and couldn't speak English very well. The thrashers hardly talked anyway - they were too busy enjoying Mother's delicious food! -Millie Feather, Baroda, Michigan
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 2 cups warm water (110° to 115°), divided
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2-1/2 cups rye flour
- 2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add brown sugar, caraway, oil, salt and remaining water; mix well. Stir in rye flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch dough down; divide in half. Shape each half into a ball; place in two greased 8-in. round baking pans or ovenproof skillets. Flatten balls to a 6-in. diameter. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 2 loaves.

- Attract the best players with my tips and advice on how to create the right kind of Player Wanted ads.
Finding fellow gamers is tricky. It's not like we wear a badge, special hat, or red shirt. Your neighbor could be an awesome roleplayer and you might never know about it. That's why the online registries are awesome. There are a horde of them now, and your neighbor, or others in your local area, could have visited any one of them and put up a listing.
That's because they are in the same boat as you. They need to find players and a group to game with.
But to make your quest trickier, these registries and player finder sites are spread out all over the internet. Google will pull some up for you, but many are hidden away under strange keywords or are mainly found by links from other RPG websites. It can take a long time locating all these places. I have the solution for you though.
My name is Johnn Four. I publish the Roleplaying Tips newsletter. My specialty is writing how-to gaming tips and solving gamer problems. I have moved many times, which meant finding a lot of new players through the years. Sometimes I had to form entire new groups from scratch. Yes indeed, it's difficult finding fellow gamers.
Spread a wide net online
The online registries work well in many cases. Some cater to specific regions, others serve certain game systems, and several match up just for face-to-face versus online games. The key is hitting all the major ones, because you never know which sites your neighbor will use to put up an ad or listing. Chances are they don't have a list of gamer finder sites and just used the one or two they've heard about. But there's about four dozen! So you need to cover all the bases and spread your net wide enough.
Offline methods
Some gamers do not use the internet to find nearby players. They do not know how, just dislike computers, or worry about privacy. So you might miss finding great players if you only rely on online methods.
You have to go off the grid, old school, and use good offline methods to discover these fellow RPGers.
The Best Players Wanted Registries
Fortunately, from years of playing RPGs and gathering tips for the newsletter, I have collected a ton of simple ideas to let others nearby know you are looking for avid gamers to game with. This topic was covered in the first issues of Roleplaying Tips, before the internet was used by so many people, and these methods still work today.
They work better, in fact, because email is so spammy and doing something offline will catch attention because it's rare. And if you are worried about privacy, don't be. I've got that covered too with a simple and free technique to help you screen players first before inviting them over and revealing your identity.
It is not difficult finding gamers if you know how and where to look
I put every tip, trick and technique I've discovered and used successfully myself into this ebook. From publishing the newsletter for 11 years and counting I have also come across a bunch of great tips other gamers have used with success. With Filling the Empty Chair you will shave hours off your search for online registries, gamer classifieds and gamer finder websites with my listing of over 40 such sites.
1. Easily find all the sites your neighbor might use
Part one of the ebook offers a huge list of websites your potential new player could use. Each site listing is organized by category and region. And every site is hyperlinked in the ebook, ready for you to click on and start your search.
For years I have kept a list of these hard-to-find sites in a Notepad file. I add to it every time someone sends me a new link, or I come across a new gamer finder site in my surfing. Now, for the first time, I have put all these links into an ebook to make it quick and easy so you do not miss checking out any of them or spend hours trying to find them all.
2. Recruit offline fast
Part two of the ebook covers offline techniques for finding fellow gamers. There are over two dozen methods listed in this section, and each is accompanied by tips and advice to make them work for you without sticking your neck out. Finding great players is hard, but these methods are sure to help you uncover every rock in your neighborhood to find even lapsed gamers craving to get back into the hobby again.
3. Attract the best players
Part three offers shows you how to create compelling online profiles and advertisements at all the websites found in part one's directory of sites. It's one thing knowing where to find gamers, but it's another attracting great players you want to game with regularly. A bad ad attracts bad gamers. The secret is creating ads that would attract someone just like you. And I show you exactly how to do this, step by step."I definitely see myself needing this guide in the future if I ever opt to relocate or (touch wood) our own group falls apart. One thing I think will be great is the updates to the guide giving readers directions to specific sites or services.
I loved that you refer to the entries for each site as "stat blocks," and I think the icons you've posted next to each entry will help a lot.
I think you wrote a great e-book and did a phenomenal job of putting it together as a REAL e-book, including hyperlinks and email addresses that make it practically different from a print book as opposed to just appearing different. I thought your tips for the perfect profile were particularly insightful, and enjoyed checking this out for you."
- Patrick Irwin
Save hours in your quest to attract the best players
If you are like me then you have a crazy schedule. You want to spend your limited spare time talking with potential players to fill the empty chair at your game table, not searching around finding all the gamer finder sites tucked away in the corners of the internet. And if you are thinking of doing some offline questing, you want to use only the methods proven to get a response without wasting time on what does not work. And in both cases, you want to attract just the great gamers and avoid the terrible ones who cause problems.
Get Filling the Empty Chair today. I have solved those problems for you. The ebook is less than 10 dollars, weighs in at 30 pages and is a PDF optimized for on-screen reading and all linked up so you can just point and click and find gamers. After you grab it, don't forget to register so you can get free updates whenever I add new gamer finder sites or offline finder methods.

"I ordered the orange color. These look better on the picture than in person. I wasn't impressed. Out of the 6 pairs of shoes I ordered from DSW this was the one I was looking forward to opening the most but ended up being my least favorite. It actually runs a bit big but overall the shoe was comfortable. I just didn't like it once I saw it in person."

Great for weekend errand runs or day at the park
"This shoe slips on easily and the cute straps have Velcro to adjust. The "toe box" is wide - very roomy and comfy. The treads on the bottom make it great for walking all day. One draw back: the high back tends to turn in a little and caused for some rubbing on the back of my ankle until they were broken in. Otherwise, these are the type of shoes you wear until they wear out!"

The Emery Spartan track teams made huge strides this year as they recruited more participants and were deeper and better in almost every event. In the end though, it still came down to Bruce Clement and Camille Fehlberg to score the points at the State Tournament.
In the two-day affair held at BYU, Fehlberg had a great meet as she won the 100 hurdles, the 300 hurdles and finished fourth in the long jump.
Clement repeated his performance from last season and again won the discus throw. Clement also finished third in the shot put and finished sixth in the javelin.
The Emery boys finished 10th with 22 points and the girls finished ninth with 25 points.
Although no other Emery girl placed in the meet, the boys did have a couple of other placers. Zac Clement, a younger brother of Bruce, finished eighth in the javelin and Travis Bunderson finished seventh in the high jump.
Adriana Cordova finished first in the javelin for Green River. Brent Johnson finished fifth in the 3200 meters and Hyrum Mitchell finished seventh in the 3200 meters. Also participating for Green River were Hannah Mitchell in the 100 meters, Leah Swalberg in the 400 meters, Whitney Bigelow in the discus, Jace Vetere in the javelin, Hyrum Mitchell in the 800 meters and 1600 meters and Brent Johnson in the 1600 meters and the discus.

Cute shoe with Bad Sizing Issue!
"I love the look of this shoe, however, had to return shoe twice due to sizing issue. Ordered my normal size 10, but shoe was too big, so, I sized down to a 9 1/2 & shoe was still too big. Finally, tried size 9 and it fit great, but straps of shoe are a little too wide(if you have narrow feet you will have problems with this shoe). Note to the manufacturer: Great shoe, but , please, fix the sizing issue. Potential buyer: Size down a whole size."
