This spring, Dr. Paul Pyenta has his Biochemistry II students diverging from the normal course of lab exercises. In doing so, he is accomplishing three things: teaching the techniques and knowledge of the course in a new and engaging way, giving his students exposure to how research is done, and keeping his personal involvement in research going.
About two years ago, a conversation between Pyenta and two Biology faculty exposed a problem he was equipped to tackle. Drs Wilson and Benoit are microbiologists who study the spores of Bacillus thuringiensis. Bt, as it is called, is mostly known for its production of a toxin that is selectively toxic for the larvae of several damaging insect pests. During Wilson's doctoral research, an interesting observation was made – the spores made in the soil seem better suited to survival in insects, and the spores made in insects seem better suited to survival in the soil. This has spurred a desire to study the ecology of the organism more closely, and led Benoit to propose an experiment to follow the fate of individual spores through susceptible and non-susceptible insects. But, with Bt spores so small, no convenient way was available to do the experiment.
Enter Dr. Pyenta. In conversation, it was decided that spores and cells expressing green fluorescent protein (gfp) could be used to follow the spores through the insect. Only problem – no appropriate gfp-containing Bt strains existed. All previous cloning of gfp in Bt was done to follow the presence of the crystal protein in nature, in genetically modified foods and the like. Their discussion led to a proposal - Pyenta proposed that his lab could clone the gfp gene into Bt so that a visible marker was present to detect the fate of spores.
The cloning work has been conducted for the past two years by undergraduate students doing independent research for Pyenta. It has gone slowly, as many quirks make cloning into Bt not possible by use of traditional methods commonly used. Progress made so far has moved the project to the point where students in his Biochem II lab are equipped to use the lessons learned to tackle the project this semester. In doing this, students get to see how the skills and knowledge of their regular course can actually be put into action on a real research project.
One of the frustrations science faculty face at small colleges is finding time to remain active in research. Expecting similar productivity to that achieved when one was a member of a research team working full-time on a project funded by a national agency is foolishness. Instead, faculty must find creative ways to keep their skills up, perform experiments in economical and efficient ways, and use available resources wisely. Dr. Pyenta is accomplishing these things by teaching his course through involving students in his research (instead of relying on a bunch of unrelated and seemingly random canned exercises leading nowhere), by conducting the work within the parameters of his normal teaching load, and by pooling resources through collaboration with other faculty on a project of common interest.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
What happens when you log off your characters????.....
Dark Age of Camelot
Developers said each level takes around 1.5 hours for the casual players. Last stress test which was an hour long, I got 1 level from 25 to 26, and that was from exploring new areas, unlocking waypoints and doing 1-2 dynamic events...
I honesly don't think you need to rush to 80 because the leveling curve is so smooth. Many MMOs have programmed us to rush to max level for "epic" content and levels 1-max level is just a hinderence but this is not the case with GW2, you should enjoy the journey as much as the end.
Completionist in me is going to make me complete every zone haah before I move seeing as everything scale down no need to worry about losing exp/loot/items etc.
I'll probs follow the storyline with regards to the zones I level with
Didn't vote because i didn't see a Get lost and have fun exploring option...
Which is what i'm gonna do, The journey to level cap should be just as fun if not funner than hitting cap.
I'm an explorer at heart. The journey is the most important thing to me, and as such I prefer it to last as long as possible.
In other words, I am probably the world slowest leveler in these games. Luckily both conditions compliment easch other well
I'll see you guys at 80... in about 6 months to a year most likely
Or immediately... in WvW!
I'll go at the speed it interests me to go. None of the driving forces that make me want to rush to max level are present in this game. And that's a good thing.
If I play for long hours, it's because the gameplay compels me to.
why rush to 80 in this game? unless you have other games you want to play.
I think what will happen is that people will quickly outlevel the zone they are in. The head start people will find that there aren't enough people in the higher level zones and perhaps go back to lower more populated areas. They will continue to level while half assissting the newer people, bringing them upto the zones the higher level players are at.
These players will be over leveled because they went back to the lower zones.
I think people will reach level 80 way before they get to the 80 zone.
Play for fun. Play to win. Play for perfection. Play with friends. Play in another world. Why do you play?
Gonna take my time and explore at whatever rate I feel like. I want to see everything.
This may result in gaining levels semi quickly as I will be out in the action much of the time.
Will take time out for crafting and dealing with guildmembers when I feel the need.
( Note to self-Don't say anything bad about Drizzt.)
An acerbic sense of humor is NOT allowed here.

I'm not going to lie, Orr sounds completely worth rushing to 80 for, lol.
Agreed but I wouldn't want to rush to fast to 80 only to find theres not enough players at that level to enjoy the content. I'd rather take a normal amount of time and be abloe to enjoy all content at its own pace.

Racing to lvl 80 is rather pointless in my honest opinion because your going to be missing out on a lot of things the world(game) has to offer to you. For me personally i'll only be rushing to lvl 15-18 day one because that was the highest i got to from BW1 before i started to fool around with the other classes, PvP,WvWvW. Praise the lord that A-Net did some stress tests last week/weekend because i was able to restart on my Warrior and get an idea of how i wanted to preceed when the game comes out such as, what to explore (like after specific quests), get a feel for what the options were for the story (Human only so far), and overall get a better feel for the Warrior class because im stuck between using a Greatsword and a Hammer, both of which are amazing and fun to use, with unique skill sets.
Once i get to that set goal it will be all about doing what ever comes to my mind, whether or not i want to go do some WvWvW, some sPvP, or even start on an elementalist, i know ill be enjoying the game.
This game has bring back that crisp new awesome feeling for me.
I get that feeling when I first start playing AO and WOW.
Yea going to take my own sweet time leveling and exploring this game.
Pardon my English as it is not my 1st language

I am someone who will be "rushing" 80, meaning yes I will probably go to 80 quick without exploring too much and such.
If the game is right with what they say tho, it means that once i'm 80 I have plenty of things to do, so yea I will go back to lower zones to explore dungeons i skipped and try events I missed and things like that. But at least I know that if something appear somewhere that i really want to do, let it be that WvW may be a bit unbalanced for real 80 , or a dungeon that requires level 75 or watever i'll be okay.
I will NOT complain that there is nothing to do once i reach 80 tho, even if going into lower level zones makes it "boring" combat wise I will then go and try to get all the exploration achieves and such, but my first aim will be 80.
That's my opinion

Yes but if it goes like SWTOR BGs real 80 will still have a advantage to "raised to level 80" ones, and personally, i kinda hope there is some difference
Originally posted by gaeanprayer
Read and watch everything. Visit every landmark, get every skillpoint, craft every recipe. How fast or slow that gets me to 80, I don't care. I've been the first to cap before, rushing to it is career suicide; you get to level cap first then feel like going back and redoing content or making alts isn't worthwhile, because you're so burned out on the marathon you just completed. Taking my time and enjoying this game for a long time to come.
I don't want to flame, but I do not think you've been the first to a cap in a real popular game, because usually it's teamwork and takes less than 2 days. so you arent really burned out , it is a fun challenge, but like you said you rush content so far, that i dont even mind later on doing an alt...

Cameron Boyce, a.k.a. Luke Ross from Jessie!
Are you a fan of Jessie? We definitely are! We were lucky enough to catch up with Cameron Boyce, who stars on the show, to talk about being good to the planet and the importance of reading books—even baby books. Read more below!
Q: What kind of things do you do to be environmentally friendly?
Cameron: We plant trees and we try to cut down on garbage and stuff like that. We try to make a constant effort, so it's not just on Earth Day.
Q: What is your favorite book of all time?
Cameron: I have a lot of good ones, and I like baby books too! Yeah, a lot of baby books are well known in my family. There's one with a bird and a rabbit. It's a baby book, but I don't know the name of it exactly. My parents say that when I was a baby, I would not even look at the book and know every single word. If they said "with" instead of "and," I would correct them. My parents thought I was super-smart! (laughs)
Q: What's your best advice to kids your age today?
Cameron: Keep on reading; it's really important, and everybody's job involves reading—including mine. So you have to keep it up!

Reviews of this property
It was a beautiful site with a chalet which fully satisfied my expectations. The places that one could visit within a radius of 25 km were so many that you easily could stay 2 weeks. I've never had better service as here and Interhome.
Het was een mooie camping met een chalet die ruimschoots aan mijn verwachting voldeed. Ook de plaatsen die men kon bezichtigen binnen een straal van 25 km waren zoveel dat je er gemakkelijk 2 weken kon verblijven. Ik heb nog nooit een betere service gehad als hier en van Interhome.
Nice, clean and comfortable chalet and equipped, certainly worth repeating
Leuk, schoon en comfortabel chalet en van alle gemakken voorzien, zeer zeker voor herhaling vatbaar
Pure relaxation in a well maintained holiday complex. The adjoining lake is beautiful. Unfortunately missing in the plant a supermarket for bread and Co., did not bother us with our 3-year-old daughter, as in the neighboring town can be easily purchased by car. The price was hardly beatable even if you pay linen must.
Erholung pur in einer sehr gepflegten Ferienanlage. Der anliegende See ist traumhaft schön. Leider fehlt in der Anlage selbst eine Einkaufmöglichkeit für Brötchen und Co., hat uns mit unserer 3- jährigen Tochter nicht gestört, da im Nachbarort mit dem Auto gut eingekauft werden kann. Der Preis war kaum schlagbar auch wenn man Bettwäsche zahlen MUSS.
Reviews for this host's other properties
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)
Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.
A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you

Great Sandals
"These sandals are very comfy and look great with just about everything casual."

so cute and comfy!
"These are fantastic. My only regret is that I didn't find these earlier -- the tan is sold out so I can only have them in black. I normally wear a 6.5 in sandals and a 7 in enclosed shoes; I got a 6 and a 7 in these to try them both. The 7 arrived first and they were great but a little large (width and length) -- I definitely could have made them work, but the 6 fit perfectly. I plan to wear these a lot, and if they hold up, I'll definitely be back to get these in a different color."

Can you give me advice?
First of all, I don't know plumbing lingo, so bear with me. I live in a house built in 1912. There is a leak in the main pipe that goes out of my house to connect with the public lines. After a bath, or a load of wash, water trickles down the wall in the basement below where the pipe goes into the concrete to go out of the house. The bottom of the pipe isn't wet, so I'm sure the old pipe has disintegrated somewhere between that point and where it hooks up to the public lines and the water is leaking back into the house.
My question: A plumber proposed replacing a chunk of my 4" pipe with 3" pipe and shoving that through what remains of the 4" pipe that is leaking, like a sleeve from the inside of the house out to the clay pipe that starts, he says, about 5 or 6 feet outside of my house. Is this a viable solution? Or is it a cheaper fix that may result in other problems? There is not easy access to the pipe outside the house, a plumber would have to get through my brick patio. But I don't want to go the easy route if it's not the right way to do it.
Thank you for any advice you can give me.

July 2008 - Sterling Planet, a provider of renewable energy certificates (RECs) and greenhouse gas (GHG) verified emissions reductions (VERs), announced an agreement to purchase what are believed to be the first VERs from a U.S.-based project to be certified by the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS) Program. A VCS-certified VER, known as a Voluntary Carbon Unit (VCU), represents one ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) GHG emission reduction or removal.
Under the agreement, Sterling Planet will purchase an undisclosed quantity of VCUs derived from both methane capture and from renewable energy generation at the Greenville County landfill-gas-to-energy project in Greer, South Carolina. The VCUs will become part of Sterling Planet's VER inventory to serve their retail clients in the voluntary carbon offset market. In all, the Greenville project is expected to prevent the emission of 125,000 tons of CO2e per year over the next ten years. Det Norske Veritas (DNV), a risk management company, independently verified the project to the VCS.
Officially launched in November 2007, the VCS program provides a standard for voluntary GHG emission reduction projects and their verification. VCS program registries are scheduled to become operational in September 2008 for the main purpose of managing transfers in the chain of ownership and the retirement of VCUs, to prevent double counting.
