Christine Magnuson
Christine's leadership and swimming ability are going to be a cornerstone of this year's team's success. She has become one of the best swimmers in the NCAA in the free and fly events, and can swim essentially every event well. She is at her best on relays and she inspires others to be great as well. Her consistency of attitude and performance in practice is a model for the rest of the team, and her leadership role has grown to the point where she is in some ways, another coach in the pool.

Commentary: Veterans Day more than shopping day
"VETERANS DAY SALE! 40 percent off! Safe, Clean Gas Fireplaces ... Biggest Gutter SALE of the Year ..."
— From two of many ads in The Washington Post on Veterans Day
For as long as most of us can remember, America has had two ways of honoring the military veterans who fought its battles in faraway lands.
Some of us, a proportionally small percentage of our population, gather at cemeteries or other commemorative places and follow the lead of a public official in paying tribute to America's military veterans. President Barack Obama did so Monday, when he placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery and said:
"Today, we gather once more to honor patriots who have rendered the highest service any American can offer this nation — those who fought for our freedom and stood sentry for our security. On this hillside of solemn remembrance and in veterans' halls and in proud parades across America, we join as one people to honor a debt we can never fully repay."
However — and let's be honest with ourselves here — most Americans never pause every Nov. 11 to participate in any ceremony honoring our nation's military veterans. But that doesn't mean they are not participating in a ritual observance of Veterans Day.
Millions of Americans, a percentage of our population that is proportionally far larger than those who commemorated at cemeteries or parades, spent part of their Veterans Day national holiday shopping for bargains at our nation's retail malls. They are well aware that it is Veterans Day, a national holiday — because they have a day off from work (unless they work at a retail store!).
"Warehouse VETERANS DAY Sale ... 50 percent or MORE."
But not many of us know why this particular day, Nov. 11, is designated as Veterans Day — and why America's presidents always place a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns at precisely 11 a.m. It is because at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11, 1918, the armistice was signed that officially ended World War I, which was long known as "the war to end all wars."
Of course, the world has endured many wars since then and Americans have fought, sacrificed and died in many battles that were waged in the name of preserving our national security. Once these battles were fought only by men, often men who were drafted into compulsory military service, but now it is important to note that both men and women are now fighting and sometimes dying — and they are doing so not because they were drafted into the military, but because they volunteered to serve.
"Pre BLACK FRIDAY SPECIALS VETERANS DAY Honoring Armed Forces — an additional 10 percent off with a Valid Military ID."
We should find the time in our non-busy days off to pause and pay a full and much-deserved tribute to all the men and women who safeguard our homeland by volunteering to join and fight in America's military services.
Here, for once, our elected officials can volunteer to lead by example. Let them lead all Americans in volunteering to show our appreciation for our military veterans by volunteering on every Nov. 11 to help veterans who are in great need, who are perhaps homeless, or jobless.
We should not regulate or legislate mandatory retail store closings Nov. 11. But we can at least ask our retailers to not exploit this one day that honors all who serve in the military by turning it into just one more day of commercial excess.
And we must exercise the one option over which we have ultimate control: We can honor those who served in our military by just saying no to shopping, not today, to retailers who dangle sales before us like fishermen casting glittering lures.
We can all commemorate Nov. 11 by at least halting our compulsion to celebrate with ritual conspicuous consumption. Just that one day.

There's more to using a rebate than merely saving a few cents, a new study of shoppers reports.
People who are willing to spend extra time and effort sending in a rebate will tend to believe the product they are getting is pretty swell, says Donald Lichtenstein, a marketing professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
But when shoppers respond to advertised sales, they are less likely to attribute high quality to the brand. Why?
"People are more likely to develop brand loyalty where the effort expended to obtain a product is higher," Lichtenstein said. The reason is that, if the effort to redeem is high, shoppers need some justification for going through the effort," he said.
For rebates, the justification is likely to be "the brand is good." For sale items, the justification is more likely to be "because I got a deal."
These were among the findings of a survey of 565 grocery store shoppers in Boulder, Colo., and Fayetteville, Ark. The study was aimed at finding out how different types of shoppers respond to different types of shopping promotions. Results were similar in both communities.
The study will be published in the 24th edition of Advances in Consumer Research. It was co-authored by Scott Burton of the University of Arkansas and Richard Netemeyer of Louisiana State University.
The study shows that certain types of shoppers tend to fall for certain types of sales promotions. For example:
People who like coupons are willing to spend more time in grocery stores to "get a deal" but are less likely to be strictly "price conscious" of the items they select than are people who are more prone to advertised sales.
These shoppers may use coupons for reasons other than price, such as the feeling "I'm getting a deal that you're not getting," he said.
But they may not be getting a deal if the store price is too high to make using the coupon a good deal. And they may use them to purchase items they normally wouldn't use.
People who like to purchase products on sale are highly conscious of price and show little loyalty to particular brands. Again, they like getting benefits without expending much effort. Thus, they attribute their purchase behavior to the sale instead of the brand.
Those who like rebates are similar to people who like sales but tend to be more loyal to particular brands. The effort to use a rebate sends the shopper looking for a reason for the purchase, and the reason is likely to be "because I like the brand."
Those prone to buying items on display tend to be impulsive, rarely use shopping lists and don't like rebates, Lichtenstein said. They are at high risk of paying too much by falling for end-of-aisle displays that appear to be special sales but actually are at regular price.
This group of shoppers also tends to equate higher quality with higher price, which is not true in many cases, he said. This "mindless" sort of shopping rewards merchants that do not provide the best values, he cautioned.
"You've got to be vigilant," Lichtenstein said. "We want to reward merchants that do us better."

- Thermal management and analysis of electronic systems and their associated facilities
- Computational fluids and heat transfer
- Design verification and environmental reliability testing methods
- System reliability
Robert Choate's interest in engineering began at an early age. Playing to his academic strengths in mathematics and science, he attended Old Dominion University in the late 1970s. Upon graduation, he entered the telecommunications industry as a thermal design engineer. For twenty years, Choate pursued the opportunity to tinker and play and along the way received recognition for authorship and innovation through technical publications and patents. Working for companies such as IBM, Ericsson Telecommunications and Harris Broadcast Communications, Choate held a variety of positions in product development and manufacture, and in system reliability analysis and testing. Displaying a talent for training entry-level engineers, Choate turned to teaching. His philosophy focuses on the value of building relationships with students through mentorship, adding a valuable skill set to the engineering discipline. By helping students realize their full potential, he looks for a return on his investment in the production of human capital and our society's economic growth. Choate demonstrates this discipline by actively engaging his engineering students through extracurricular projects, such as the energy analysis of various campus structures and the design, build and testing of laboratory test beds. Additionally, he extends this engagement beyond the department via his community involvement with younger middle and high school students in organizations, such as the Boy Scouts of America, and on school teams and in competitions, including, Kentucky Bluegrass Robotics Competition, JETS TEAMS, the Purple Comets Math Meet and the Kentucky Association for Academic Competition through their Quick Recall and Future Problem Solving competitions.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I can tell you honestly that I though this will be my prime big mountain board. Bu tI've been riding nothing but this board for practically everything! here's an update:
ICE: this board just begs you to go on ice! Bites like a shark and you control how much it bites by directing the board & edges, thus your speed in the process.
FLUFF & POW: We have not seen much of that, but I took it out on some rare untouched 12" trail and it was just awesome! Floats and turns quick. Nothing knee deep yet (until I visit your side of the globe). But I have a feeling it wil do just fine.
SPEED: This board is a beast at speed. I ride with speed freaks (skiers) and I am getting tired waiting for everyone at every turn to arrive! LOL. Seriously... Eats chop and crud and cuts through anything. IMO, it's the fact that it stays so solid, damp and stable at high speed that makes me want to push the extremes.
DAMPNESS: It has a mix of dampness that absorbs all chatter yet still lively giving you the feel of snow under your feet (if you knwo what I mean). Turn the edge just a little and you are on cloud 9 as it cuts through it all.
GROOMERS: Speachless!!! It's one thing to run it through chop and go fast, it's another world to be riding mach speed on groomers!
JUMPS: I'm getting more air and better landings than ever! Just an easy board to jump with. I can pop 180's off the sides and just enjoy every aspect.
PARK: It should be illegal to take it into rails, but I took it on some boxes and walls for fun (nothing extreme).
SWITCH: Here's a surprise... for a directional board, I (personally) can ride ride it switch better than my twins! I think I got much better at switch using this board. It feels weird becuase I'm riding switch on the shorter end, but like skies, it' really a pleasure!
TREES: Here's the only thing I have not tried much! I did my 2nd day on teh board, but I was so scared i'd ding a tree I just was not comfortable there. A little harder to turn than my T-Rice between tight trees. But honestly, I don't think it's an issue and think it was mostly cause I was just dialing the board. I have since been able to navigate this Ride between end of day moguls and tight turns just fine. It's not a super stiff board, but not that soft either. I honestly think it'll be fine once/if I take it there as I'm stil hesitant about dinging the board into a tree (will update). Also, it's a 168 vs all my previous 156-164 max!
POP: Just amazing! Off rollers it pops beautiful and lands even better. Same off little bumps here and there. Having so much fun on these almost like a park board.
FLEX: The board seems to have a mid or just a little over mid-flex. It also has KST which is the camber/rocker hybrid. It's a camber board that flixes to give you the ultimate easy ride. When I flat base on catwalks, the board doesn't twich to an edge. So, it's super easy to flat base and ride easy. It also turns tight or big for digging trenches while riding low with face close to snow!
TURNS: The board turns real sweet edge to edge. Tight or big turns it does both. I can navigate tight spots fast. Best part is that it literally requires "minimum" effort pumping the knees in/out. I stil ldo it out of habit, but somehow, the board does not require big effort in th eprocess (pump knees to push through snow).
All in all, I am really loving this board. I take it anywhere and everywhere. NO LIMITS! No 1 issue for me is a mid flex board that is damp, can handle speed & great on ice. That being covered, everything else was like a really unexpected bonus. So much so that I'm practically selling (trying to - end of season ) everything else I have and just keep this and one more (short rock) board!
The only other board (I almost got) close to this would be the Nitro Pantera LX! But that board is much harder to ride and needs constant effort to maintain an edge. And now LX no more since Nitro came up with Nitro Factor with Koroyd (I think it's called) honeycomb material. But Pantera LX $700 or so vs $655!!! So I got the Kessler Ride and I am ever so happy that I FINALLY found my one and only quiver killer board that I've been seeking all these years!
and then some...
I have been ride it for 6 days in isy and slashy conditions and I whey 220 lbs and 182cm long. Riding for 25 years on only camber boards (burton brushe, Ride freestyle, K2 eldorado 168, salomon regulate wide 168, burton supermodel 168, salomon magnum.
And I agree with lott of tings above her is my thoughts
On ice:
Like he said best grip I have seen but you need to reeshape the edges after 2 days.. thats the down side if you want to continue to have that grip.
I agree its a mid stiff board and I feel its to soft for me I cant ride as fast as my stiffest board salomon regulate 168, sounds maybe strange but if you go rely fast and hitt a mogul/bump the nose will bend and throw you upp in the air 30-50 cm and that make you feel a little bit out of control and that didn't happened with the salomon regulate board it just swallowed it and hold the grip. I think maybe Im to heavy for this board even if the board spec say 90-110 kg and I am 110kg.
rely good turning and it turn in the fall line if you carv right. easy to get a low carv angle (euro carving) hard bot style. And the board feels like it 10 cm shorter then it is. hubred rocker feels better on slashy worm snow and powder then on ice. I prefer a regular camber on ice but I love the tiunal alu construction that helps the edge hold. I never had a problems to ride flat with my old salomon bord because i know where my edges are all the time but with the kessler I cant feel the nose and the tail edges because they are 3 mm above the snow.. Mybe it easier for a beginner to ride flat with this board but for me it feels weird and I started to catch edges in the middle of the board just infront of may back foot.
After 2 year research I thought this bord was the shit for me but I dont know today. Maybe a custom made board from kessler is the solution. Or what do you guys think?
Heard back from them again and they're trying to gauge our interest in the board. Sounds like even if we have 5 buyers they'd be willing to do a group buy for us. Here's the details.
Please reply in that thread if you're interested in a possible group buy. I'm 100% in if the price is at or close to last years group buy, so we probably need 4 more.
Wow! That's great news. I just hope they bring in the same board! Or I'll be forced to buy "another" Kessler!
Regarding the distributor, I would assume they didn't expect to sell out so early in the season given the price tag AND that's it's a brand new main-stream board to the market and not BX specific (which has it's own following)!
But if I recall correctly, they said that a couple of guys (maybe famous riders, dunno) bought them early in the season and they were refering people they knew who saw (or demoed) their boards!
Either way... I'm glad they'll be doing it again and hopefully you can grab one this time. BTW, it's the same design and colors from last year (and coming years)! Good for value if ever you wanna sell it, and will always look new!
On the price issue, it was not an error! I spoke with them the 1st day I saw the add!
BTW... just for reference, when I spoke with the Kessler dist (in TO I think) at the time, he told me he couldn't believe this board was flying off the shelves! They sold out in a matter of 2 weeks. Mostly out west! They weren't sure why...
Okay so I e-mailed iGet.It and this was their reply...
"Hello Aaron,
We are planning to redo an offer for the Kessler's snowboards, unfortunately we don't have any dates planned out but I will personally send you an email to let you know in advance when the offer should be live.
Thank you very much for your interests in IGet.it"

Edit: there's a place in the UK that has them for $1260 CDN plus $75 shipping, not sure if there's tax on top of that? VAT or ???
I'm trying to find a used Palmer Platinum in the meantime...
I found a coupel of placed in Europe that had a good price. Not $650 but decent. I can posyt links if I see one. Contact the iget.it group again and see if they are planning on a new offering this year.
The Palmer Platinum IMO woudl probably be the exact same board! It was produced by Kessler prior to contract ending. Everything I read before about the Platinum fits the description of the Ride!!! So, if you find it I have a feeling it wil probably be "identical" in performance but under different name! Even size specs (check them out) almost match up!!!
Can't wait for new season to kick in!
Group buying ?? Am i missing something here, I want in on these awesome group buying deals please link me
Also, nice board. I would love the Kessler Cross board.

My wife is going to start hunting with me this year and my 2 year old daughter's favorite shows are ducks unlimited and Duck commander we brought her home the hospital in a Max 4 onezie.I have a 3 year old yellow lab who like most lives for this stuff. My setup in moderate I am always trying to add to it but I like to keep it realistic. I usually go out with 2 dozen GHG's I have a dozen greenheads ( hot buy II ) and a marsh and puddler pack for the other dozen and a few feeder butts/top feeders. I texas rig them so I can pick up or set up quick. I also use 2 baby mojos for the price you cant beat them. I don't have any fancy duck calls that cost an arm or a leg but I would deffinetly like to upgrade the ones I use. This year I will be shooting with a Gopro fixed to my gun and probably my wife's, one of my buddies who doesn't shoot ever will film the other stuff so hopefully we can get some good video to post up. I try to get my friends into it but none of them are into it like I am so I joined the forum to be around some other quackheads. I shoot an old pump 12 gauge with BB loads nothing fancy I always say that I don't need a fancy gun or fancy ammo to kill a lot of birds.

Session 8. Wrap Up (April 15): We will discuss lessons learned and questions unanswered during our journey. We will also look into the crystal ball and try to predict the 2016 presidential candidates and new techniques that might be used in their campaigns. Hopefully we will have challenged the campaign conventional wisdom, encouraged the next generation to get involved, and helped show the way to do so. ***Study Groups are off-the-record and not for media coverage***

Jan. 26, 2014
2014 Schedule | UTTIX.com
The start of the 2014 Tennessee baseball season is just 19 days away!
In January and February, UTSports.com will count down the days remaining until the start of the Vols' 2014 campaign (Feb. 14) with looks back at the many players who donned jersey numbers 30-1.
The baseball season in Knoxville kicks off on the diamond on Feb. 14 when the Vols host the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks at Lindsey Nelson Stadium at 4 p.m. With one of the youngest teams in the country in 2013, head coach Dave Serrano and company have the foundation in place on Rocky Top.
The 2014 slate is highlighted by 33 games in Knoxville, including early nonconference matchups against Purdue (Feb. 15-16) and UNLV (Feb. 21-23). The Vols open with a 13-game homestand, starting things off with three straight days of doubleheader action.
Practice has officially begun on Rocky Top. The Diamond Vols are in action all weekend, and have an 11-inning intrasquad scrimmage open to the public scheduled for Sunday. First pitch will be at 12:30 p.m. ET at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. For more information visit this week's practice schedule, which includes a scrimmage pitching lineup.
In total, 28 Vols have worn the Orange and White No. 19 , and junior college transfer Peter Lenstrohm will be the 29th in 2014.
Today, we take a look back at one of the all-time greats to ever toe the rubber at Lindsey Nelson Stadium and current member of the Kansas City Royals, Luke Hochevar.
#19 Luke Hochevar
2003-05 | RHP | 6-5 | 215 lbs. | R/R | Fowler, Colo.
Hochevar completed his three-year career as one of Tennessee's all-time most-decorated players. The right-hander posted a 15-3 record with a 2.26 ERA while leading the Vols to the 2005 College World Series and winning the Roger Clemens Award as the nation's best collegiate pitcher during his junior season. During UT's postseason run, Hochevar was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers with the 40th overall pick in the MLB draft.
His 15 victories tied for the NCAA lead that season and also tied for first in UT's single-season record book. A consensus first-team All-America honoree (Baseball America, Louisville Slugger, Sports Weekly, NCBWA), Hochevar was also a finalist for the 2005 Golden Spikes and Brooks Wallace awards.
The SEC Pitcher of the Year's 154 strikeouts in 2005 set a new single-season record for a UT pitcher. A pair of injuries cut short his sophomore campaign, during which he fashioned a 4-2 record and a 2.86 ERA. He won six games as a freshman in 2003 and owns a final career record of 25-10 with a 3.05 ERA.
When Hochevar left the mound for the final time as a Vol (fittingly, in Omaha's Rosenblatt Stadium), he ranked ninth in career ERA, tied for 10th in games started (33), fourth in innings pitched (280.1) and second in strikeouts (287).
In the summer of 2004, Hochevar joined the USA Baseball National Team and notched a win in the gold medal game of the FISU II World University Baseball Championship against Japan. During his summer stint with the American squad, he posted a 2.73 ERA in 33.0 innings with 38 strikeouts and 11 walks.
Hochevar was drafted 40th overall by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2005 but did not sign. The Kansas City Royals then made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2006 draft after he spent that spring playing independent ball with the Fort Worth Cats.
Hochever made his Royals' debut on Sept. 8, 2007 at the age of 23. Hochever, who started for the team from 2008-12 and successfully moved into a bullpen role last season, has totaled 43 wins, a 5.10 ERA, five complete games and 613 strikeouts in 841.1 innings pitched. Hochevar recently signed a 1 yr/$5.2 million deal with the Royals for the 2014 season.
- Spoke at the 2010 Tennessee Baseball Leadoff Banquet
- Last UT pitcher to throw a 1-hitter (at Auburn on 3/18/2005)
- Brother Dylan played one season at Tennessee in 2009
- Father played professional basketball with the Denver Nuggets in 1979
#19 Peter Lenstrohm
2014 | RHP | 6-2 | 180 lbs. | R/R | Paradise Valley, Ariz.
Peter Lenstrohm comes to Knoxville after two years at Yavapai College in Prescott, Ariz. The junior right-hander posted a combined record of 13-3 with the Roughriders, leading them to the playoffs in both seasons. A Perfect Game Top 200 Junior College Prospect, Lenstrohm posted a 2.72 ERA with 61 strikeouts in 13 appearances last season. He finished his freshman campaign with an 8-1 record and a 3.70 ERA over 90.0 innings of work. He also walked 55 as a rookie at Yavapai.
Lenstrohm graduated from Chaparral High School in 2011, where he was named the Firesbirds' Pitcher of the Year his senior season. He tallied a 1.17 ERA with 68 strikeouts over 55 innings as a senior, earning first team all-region and second team all-state honors. Behind the righty, the Firebirds went 24-9 en route to an Arizona State Championship in 2011.
- Full name is Peter George Lenstrohm
- Has two sisters, Alicia and Jessica
- Major is currently undecided

This tea is full with flavour, but with delicate overtones – almost malty but with bite. Definitely good with a dash of milk. Not as astringent as a Darjeeling.

AMES, Iowa — Adding the role of caregiver to an already full life can be overwhelming. With about 90 million family caregivers in the United States, National Family Caregivers Month is recognizing the need for their service with the theme "now more than ever."
"The physical, emotional and financial stress can make it difficult to appreciate the rewards of caring for a loved one," said Donna Donald, a family life specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. "As the number of family caregivers continues to grow, 'now more than ever' it is important to recognize the vital role family caregivers play and find support and resources to help them thrive, not just survive."
Two out of five adults in the U.S. are family caregivers and 39 percent of all adult Americans are caring for a sick or disabled loved one, according to the Caregiver Action Network. The network coordinates National Family Caregivers Month every November as a time to thank, support, educate and empower family caregivers.
"Caregiving takes many forms. A caregiver may help a friend or relative with housekeeping, grocery shopping or personal care," Donald said. "Maybe you drive your loved one to doctor appointments or social activities at a senior center. Maybe your loved one lives with you or you help him or her with financial, legal or insurance issues. If you do one or more of these, you are a caregiver."
Caregivers who thrive, rather than just survive, understand that by taking care of themselves, they are better able to provide the care that their loved ones need, Donald said.
Family caregivers can get resources online from eXtension, America's research-based learning network. Go to http://www.extension.org/family_caregiving for information, webinars and "ask an expert" questions and answers related to many aspects of family caregiving.
Family caregivers also may want to seek out a Powerful Tools for Caregivers class from ISU Extension and Outreach, Donald said. These classes, held over a period of six weeks, are designed to provide family caregivers with skills they need to take care of themselves.
"The Powerful Tools classes help caregivers find balance in their lives. You'll learn ways to reduce stress, improve self-confidence, better communicate your feelings and increase your ability to make tough decisions," Donald said.
For information about upcoming classes, contact any ISU Extension and Outreach county office or check the Powerful Tools for Caregivers website, http://www.extension.iastate.edu/humansciences/ptc-tools.

Looks like you're getting friendly enough with your new partner. Let me caution you against using the keyboard for a backstop. They're not very durable and can get costly over time. Try a dirt berm or wood. Yuk yuk.
I've been happy with my wife's G19 as far as usability and durability. Looks? There's certainly nicer looking semi's, for me it isn't that important yet. I own an XD 40, again not pretty but it feels good when I shoot it. When a gun fills my hand it feels like I have more control.

By Joe Brewin
Sanchez Watt believes last season's loan spells have strengthened him as both a player and a person.
The young striker spent six months away from north London in the Football League with Sheffield Wednesday and then Crawley Town.
Although Watt was reduced to a bit-part role in his second spell after a brief one-month period in south Yorkshire, the 21-year-old insists the experiences were both beneficial.
"Being away teaches you to be independent and not rely on the best facilities we have at London Colney," Watt told Arsenal.com. "You have to be more of an individual to go out there and do your thing.
"The loan spells were good experiences but sometimes things happen and a lot changed. But I am always learning from other players in different environments and it was good.
"This summer I just have to get out there and show people what I can do. I have been doing extra in training to try and get ready for the new season.
"It feels good to be playing the Arsenal way again. It's been nice to come back, get fit and see the other players again. I'm just going to try and do better than I already have done in pre-season."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Also, I would like some confirmation that the server is completely safe to download and play on, and that I will nto get in trouble (IDK if using private servers for a F2P game is illegal) by playing. Also, it would be cool to know that you have actually played on it. Hoping for an answer today, thanks!

If you are trying to figure out if small businesses are hiring, it depends on where you look.
Just last Friday when the government was raising suspicious eyebrows with its report of a sudden drop in the unemployment rate so close to a presidential election, Andy Asbury was hiring a full-time employee to work at his Minneapolis real estate brokerage.
For Asbury, the need for a new employee was clear. Sales at his agency, Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate Area Leaders, are up 25 percent from a year ago and he's expecting them to rise more next year as the housing market continues to improve. He's getting signals from prospective sellers that things are going to get busier and he's gearing up.
"People are planting the seeds right now for when they want to make their move," he says.
Small businesses employ about half the nation's work force, or about 60 million people, so keeping track of how small business owners like Asbury are faring is key to figuring out if the economy is getting better or worse.
There are some encouraging signs. Asbury and others in the housing and construction industries are feeling confident enough to add workers. So are parts of the manufacturing industry as demand for cars and trucks picks up. Many companies in the health care field are bringing on new workers as the full implementation of the health care overhaul nears and baby boomers age.
The September report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the gains. The number of salaried real estate workers has risen by 195,000 in the last 12 months. In the auto industry, including parts makers, employment is up by 51,700, or 7 percent. The BLS doesn't break out employment in health care consulting services, but hiring at management and technical consulting services for businesses is up by 637,000 or 5.8 percent.
There's also an often overlooked form of small business hiring people who start their own companies and become self-employed. In September, 118,000 did that, according to the Labor Department.
But for all the good news, skeptics can find their fair share of evidence to support a gloomier view. Not all small companies are on a hiring spree. Many defense contractors are waiting to see how much Pentagon spending is cut under what's called sequestration. The budget cuts which may be triggered Jan. 2, would come because lawmakers couldn't reach a budget deal unless Congress stops them. Smaller retailers are holding back because the economy is still so uncertain.
It's been difficult to get a clear picture of small business hiring because of many differing reports. A report Tuesday from the National Federation of Independent Business showed a fourth straight monthly drop in hiring at small firms during September. That was at odds with a report last week from the payroll service company ADP. That one said small businesses were hiring in September
"We're in a recovery, but it's still tepid and small business is not getting its share of the recovery," but maybe soon, says Susan Woodward, an economist with Sand Hill Econometrics in Palo Alto, Calif.
Here are some snapshots of small companies that are hiring or holding off:
Hopeful about housing •
The new employee at Andy Asbury's brokerage will do administrative and marketing work including postings on social media websites a big change from the part-time bakery job he got following his graduation from the University of Minnesota earlier this year.
Asbury and his father started the brokerage in August 2011 after working at other real estate firms. They held off hiring until they believed business would grow enough to pay a worker's salary. Asbury did work like listing houses online until the brokerage hired a part-time administrative assistant in February. But he realized he also needed an employee who understood social media and who could also write articles that could promote the brokerage online.
"I kind of followed social media but I didn't grow up in it and live and breathe it," he says.
Asbury found the worker through one of his agents, who knew that the young man was looking for a job.
Asbury has also taken on more agents, who work on commission. He now has 17, up from 10 at the start of 2012. He is hoping to double the number of agents he has in 2013 because homeowners are telling him they're thinking about putting their homes on the market.
Cruising along with auto sales • At PRISM Plastics, based outside of Detroit, the recovery in the auto industry and the demise of many of its competitors during the recession created more demand for its products. PRISM makes seat belt and airbag parts and components that go into cars and trucks. The company has been hiring for more than a year and opened a new plant in Chesterfield Township, Mich. six months ago. It has about 20 new workers and five positions still open.
Gerry Phillips, one of the PRISM's three owners, says some of the new hires have been people who were unemployed, but others moved out of jobs they didn't like.
PRISM anticipates hiring four more workers next year when its new plant begins running 24 hours a day five days a week. In 2013, it's expected to run 24/7.
Healthy hiring • Hil, Chesson & Woody, a Chapel Hill, N.C., a health benefits brokerage and consultancy with 51 employees, is hiring because companies need them to help navigate the health care overhaul that Congress passed in March 2010. The company has hired three people in the last three months and plans to hire two more this year. And because many parts of the health care law won't take effect until 2014, it expects to hire at least six more people in 2013 and a minimum of six in 2014.
The firm's clients are in the dark about the law, says co-owner Skip Woody. "They don't know how it will impact them," he says.
One recent hire was an attorney, a position they originally planned to fill next year. The woman who was hired had been unemployed for six months.
Applicants are becoming more aggressive because they're so anxious to be hired, Woody says. The company's new attorney applied after her husband interviewed with the firm and was rejected.
"It turned out that we loved her," Woody says.
Headcount stalled • Although the busy holiday season is approaching, Roberta Rubin isn't planning to hire more employees for her Winnetka, Ill., bookstore, The Book Stall at Chestnut Court. She just took on two part-timers, but only because other employees cut back their hours. Her overall staffing level won't change.
"I'm not real happy with the economy right now and I worry but I have great faith in the book business," says Rubin, who has owned the store for 30 years. The number of workers at sporting goods, hobby, book and music stores are below levels reached 12 months ago, according to the BLS.
Aside from the economy, Rubin is faced with changes in the book business as more people download digital versions of books for e-readers, smartphones and tablet computers.
No way to plan • "We're being guarded right now. We think we're OK, but I'd still say we're nervous," says Mark Gross, owner of Oak Grove Technologies, a company whose services include helping the Defense Department train military personnel in intelligence and security.
Gross isn't hiring while he waits to see if the Army and other service branches have to cut the number of employees they use for their training programs. Defense contractors of all sizes may have to eliminate jobs if Congress doesn't stop the budget cuts that are set to take place in January.
"We don't know what programs are being cut," says Gross, who has 120 people in administrative jobs and 480 who work on contracts with the government. Oak Grove is based in Raleigh, N.C., and has offices in Washington, D.C., and Orlando, Fla.
Gross has not only put off hiring, he's also delaying plans to buy a smaller company that provides similar services to the government. His bank and attorney told him not to make any commitments until there's more certainty about the Pentagon budget.
"Right now, there's no way to plan," he says.
Joyce Rosenberg writes about small business for The Associated Press.

Rob Knight studies the diversity of microbial communities. For every person, microbes outnumber human cells by a factor of ten. Rob has found that this large population of microbes differs based on which part of your body they inhabit (head, hands, gut, etc.).
These same microbes vary widely in type from person to person. Unlike the human genome which is 99.9% alike from person to person, people are 80 to 90% different in their microbial make up.
Rob shares what the microbiome project as been able to learn about these variances among the microbes on and in us and how probiotic therapies might be developed to help treat specific issues related to a person's microbiome.
Ecosystem level therapies such as stool transplants that recolonize a person's gut microbiome have shown promising results. The question then is, do we know enough about therapies that alter someone's microbial flora to avoid the same kind of problems that non-native species have wreaked on other natural environments?
Rob also discusses a project he's been working on in Bangladesh which brings powerful computing analysis to scientists who don't have the resources to utilize advanced computing in their research.

being picky to think that a 2"x4" should actually be THAT - not 1 1/2"x3 1/2".
Ain't it funny how when one packages any other product, it had better wiegh or contain the exact amount advertized. With wood you get "ripped off".
I have a diagram that shows a medium super at 6 5/8" deep. A 1x8 is 3/4x7 1/4. Would it really hurt to leave the extra 5/8" on the board ? Would the bees cross the extra gap?wayne
I've thought about making my own size of hive by simply using the dimensions of pre-existing wood. .

it seems near impossible that a deal will be reached by the deadline. personally i think the owners should lay out exactly what they'd like. let the players take it, or more likely refuse to come to the table.
on march 5th they should announce that they won't be dealing with a union. the same way jack in the box and burger king don't have to consult when hirirng is how the teams will now act. free market right to work enterprise. reopen signup for the draft, let players who think about a strike know that they can and will be replaced. there are plenty of kids who know they can't make the league that would jump at the chance to fill those spots.
yes quality may go down for a year or two, but we'd never have to worry about a lockout again. the athletes would be like actual workers, either you and the boss come to an agreement or you look somewhere else.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Cotswold, Jul 15, 2008.
Predictions tonight? I predict that Sharpe will go for 14, 5 boards, 2 steals.
I haven't watched any Sharp yet. Please update us with his results! Thanks!
Sharpe was 3-6, 2-2 from the line, 3 boards, 2 assists, 2 fouls, 3 to's, no steals, no blocks. 8 points. bynum looked good---can take anyone off the dribble---can get to the line easily amir had 9 fouls and six points, three blocks, four boards afflalo looked great
He made too many mistakes, in my opinion. Those mistakes led to huge amounts of Milwaukee fastbreaks. He was wild in a lot of everything he did. Then again, I didn't even watch the game.
Who won guys??
bucks---sessions tore us apart----i watched the game, deron washington had a sick alley oop dunk in the third----bynum looked good, wasn't wild, played well-------samb showed some range, blocked 3 shots
I knew they should have (and still could) done this trade. Detroit sends: McDyess to Denver Tayshaun Prince & Amir Johnson to Milwaukee Detroit gets: Steven Hunter and Chucky Atkins from Denver and Dan Gadzuric, Mo Williams & Ramon Sessions from Milwaukee Outlook: This trade allows Sheed to move back to PF as DET gets much needed size up front with Gadzuric and Hunter. There is a lot of versatility to this 2 headed C monster as well with Hunter athleticism and Gadzuric's touch and size. There is no need to worry about foul trouble either when you add Max to this group. DET's guards would be CB, Rip, Atkins, Mo Williams, Stuckey, AA and Ramon Sessions. That again is a lot of versatility and depth. Moving Stuckey between the 1 and 2 is no problem with Williams and Atkins to run the point. The only weakness with this team is SF, but the stacked depth above allows you to move someone if need be. They also have the mid level to sign someone like Herrrrrrman or Sammy Meija. Right now, AA would start with Rip backing him up. You could also start Max at the 3. He has the quickness to keep up there.
How can you analyze a game without even watching it?
The boxscore, my friend. Five turnovers.
Saw some of the 2nd half. No Stuckey in this game - must be still hurting. Score was close at halftime/3rd quarter - but we really struggled to score in down the stretch. No accomplished scorers on the team without Stuckey. Afflalo tried to be the man, it wasn't exactly pretty - think Rip when he's trying to force things. He missed several free throws as well. In fairness, he did try to kick the ball back out for open jumpers, but we don't seem to have anyone able to hit open jumpers on the team. He's constantly applying pressure at both ends of the court; he always plays with the kind of "force" RC used to talk about. The fact that we struggled to score seems to speak to Bynum's effectiveness as a point guard. He tried to help AA in the attempt to force shots/contact. In short, our offense was pretty lame - consisted of a lot of attempted penetration by Bynum and AA without much results. This may have been the coach's game plan. Seen bits of Sharpe in each of the three games. He physically looks like a young, skinny Otis Thorpe - can't believe they list him at 245lbs. He looks comfortable both in the post and on the perimeter with the ball in his hands; I agree with Joe's belief that he can play SF, he's got good basketball instincts. He just seems so young and not ready to play with the kind of force necessary to be effective in the big boy league. He looks a bit lost on the court without the ball - somewhat like Allan Houston did his first year or two. Samb's taking a lot of shots and shooting a poor percentage. He also dosen't seem to be a deterent to opposition points in the paint. I think his ability to help us is overblown. Amir picked up a ton of fouls again. The "problem" with him is he's just always around the ball, which is a very good thing sometimes. But sometimes it takes him out of position and he fails to fulfill his defensive responsibilites. We tried to get him the ball in post a few times. As Flip used to say, "he's surprisingly effective" at getting the ball in the hoop in these situations. Wish Acker was playing. Would like to see how a more seasoned "professional" guard would perform. Not especially impressed with idea of Bynum on the regular season roster.
Nice post KP. I don't think anyone here is putting too much hope in Samb. It's more that he's potentially a backup center this season if he combines his previously shown shooting and shot blocking ability with more girth. Now that we see that he's heavier, the hope is that he can hold his own in there. But there is so little data that it's still a mystery. His shooting form and comments from other Piston players/ coaches/ GM suggest that he can shoot well. It is logical to think that if he is given consistent minutes that his percentage will go up. But the real unkowns are whether or not he can hold his position in the post, play defense against real NBA centers without fouling excessively, and contribute offensively in the interior. Maybe we can answer some of these questions by watching LVSL games, but it will probably take some early season minutes to really find out what we have. As far as the rest of the summer league squad, it is interesting how we got whooped without Stuckey. Milwaukee's PG lit us up.
Amount of turnovers is going to be high for the PG's in the tournament as they play with all new players and nobody knows any of the other players' tendencies. When you surround someone like Bynum with quality players who can actually hit the shots and demand defensive attention, he'll be a lot more effective, especially with enough practice. Sharpe, Amir and Samb need playing time to learn the game. How many games have they played over the past 3-4 years? Very little. That's why you're bound to see all the mistakes and have a feeling of "player looking lost" on the court. Sharpe is probably due for the D-League to get his feet wet. Samb needs some playing time. It will be tougher with Amir, as Curry will have to find him time with Pistons.
Sounds like a description I heard a couple years ago about a player whose name starts with "D" and ends with "O". I guess I'd just really like to see someone whose game is good enough to at least be effective in the summer league - and I've not seen it in anyone outside of Stuckey. AA's not at that level, but he's trying. Plaisted has some game, and it shows. It's just doesn't rise to the level of NBA quality competitors. Sharpe has some NBA quality tools, but hasn't shown that they translate into an NBA quality game. He has some work to do. Show me a guy who can show off his game against summer league competition. Maxiell did it last year - and he went on to contribute during the regular season. If you can't get it done in summer league, I don't hold out much hope that you can do it in the big league.
Samb seems to be doing about as well as Amir in the 3 games so far. Amir/ 9 pts/ 4.3 reb/ 0 ast/ 1.3 stl/ 1.0 blck Samb/ 8 pts/ 5.3 reb/ 1 ast/ 0 stl/ 1.7 blck/ fouling way less While neither is lighting it up, they are only getting 22 and 25 mpg. I was only able to watch the first game off the internet and couldn't really see enough resolution to take much away from it. I'm not saying Samb can contribute, just that I hope he can. And I'm curious as to how good he is. I'm sure we are in agreement there.
Didn't Amir light up the D-league ? similar competition minus a few name players . . . And hasn't he already contributed during the regular season when he got minutes ?
Yes, Yes, Yes......all this concern about Amir not dominating the VSL is crazy. He's already shown what he can do in REAL GAMES against REAL COMPETITION. He's tuning his game right now, he's not trying to prove anything to anybody.
Originally Posted by lpgrl26 Didn't Amir light up the D-league ? similar competition minus a few name players . . . And hasn't he already contributed during the regular season when he got minutes ? Appreciate the reminders of his progress and positive contributions. Yes, he did put up some impressive numbers in the DL. And he has contributed positively to some regular season games. But at some point he has to become more than just a young athletic kid with lots of potential who plays a scatter-brained, energy game. I keep hoping that one day he'll actually become a player. I'm disappointed that I'm not seeing that yet. Nothing in his game is showing professional level polish; it's still just athleticism. To be fair, I do realize that he's only 21 and the youngest player on our VSL roster - but he's starting his fourth professional season. KGREG, what part of his game do you think he's "tuning": post moves, ball handling, jump shot, hook shot, passing, man to man defense, boxing out, not fouling? Perhaps I'm not watching closely enough. He still looks like Amir the pin-ball rather than Amir the professional. The concern would be "crazy" if we were talking about a 2nd round pick who's a long-shot to make the team, but we're talking about a fourth year player who's making $3.7mil a year and is expected to challenge for a spot in the regular rotation. Based on what I've seen in the VSL the last couple of years, it dosen't surprise me that Flip made Stuckey and Max the first two young guys off the bench during the regular season. They've shown the most polish during the VSL - and the two of them together are making less $ than Amir. I'm not writing Amir off, I'm still hopeful, but I'm disappointed with his performance so far in the VSL. And I have to think Joe was hoping for a little more polish and effectiveness out of him as well. And regarding having something to prove, I think that Joe would expect Amir to feel a little incentive to prove to his bosses that their financial commitment to him is justified. Or at least that his game justifies taking minutes away from Dysse, Sheed, or Max - his next contract depends on it.
Nice Post...For all of the AJ admirers...This one seems right on to me..
We are talking about our most productive player per minute last year. Fouling is his one real weakness right now, but that quality also compels him to challenge all shots, which is a strength. That is why I think he'll adapt... because he is choosing to challenge shots. When it results in going to the bench, he'll adapt.
Wow. Its crazy to think how much money he is making. Think MAX is a little jealous? Wonder how much AJ's contract will factor into the negotiations of his extension. Although, I bet one of them is included in any trade.

NHIAA Football Roundup: Londonderry ground attack rolls over West
Londonderry broke open a close game with a 21-0 second quarter and cruised to a 49-14 win over Manchester West in NHIAA football action Friday night. The Lancers (1-0) rolled up 482 rushing yards.
Aaron Gaudet (two touchdowns, 56 yards on five carries) and Dennis Bishop (two touchdowns, 174 yards on nine carries) led the way.
Jonathan Young (TD, 50 yards on nine carries), Eric Fairweather (TD, 114 yards on four carries) and Dave Weidenfield (TD, 50 yards on six carries) rounded out the ground assault.
Zach Theriault threw a nine-yard touchdown pass to Ricky Rivera for West's first score (making the game 7-7 in the first quarter. A Killian Bullock fumble recovery for a touchdown accounted for West's (0-1) other score.
Timberlane 20, Alvirne 14: At Hudson, The Owls marched 98 yards to the winning score, a 2-yard Tyler Furey run with five minutes and 30 seconds left in the game. Erik Nelson hit Zach Downey for the two-point conversion.
Furey carried 31 times for 173 yards and two scores. Nelson also connected with Downey for a 68-yard touchdown pass.
Alvirne crossed midfield in the closing minutes and the Owls held on downs to secure the win.
Monadnock 40, Souhegan 7: Monadnock of Swanzey, last year's Division V champion, made a huge Division II statement right out of the gate with a 40-7 rout of Souhegan on Friday.
The Huskies scored early and often against the visiting Sabers. They were up 20-0 with a little less than four minutes remaining in the opening quarter and upped the lead to 33-0 by halftime.
Isaiah Prince, Monadnock's first-year quarterback, was immense. He ran for three touchdowns and ran for another.
Monadnock is a Division III team by enrollment, but was placed in Division II.
"We have some talent coming back," Monadnock coach Linwood Patnode said before the season began.
"I'm not going to underplay our team," Patnode said. "The schedule is what it is. We don't have it in our heads that we're a Division III school playing in Division II."


text: I've been watching T-Mac when he's in the game, and he's very good at getting the ball to his teammates at their sweet spots (Monroe by the basket, Gordon at the 18 ft range etc). He and Monroe are also starting to develop a really nice pick'n roll game in case anyone noticed. T-Mac is a very crisp passer too. I really would like to see him get paired up with Rip. So, how about we start: T-Mac-Rip-Prince-Wallace-Monroe Many people have mentioned that a Wallace/Monroe front court is probably one of the best we can muster right now. I think that T-Mac's ability to draw double teams and good passing can really allow Rip to do his thing and also open the floor for Prince.

Ms. Dekkers and Ms. Rothman discuss the differences between a test manager's job description, what you really want to do in your job, and what the company pays you to do.
TEXT TRANSCRIPT: 11 September 2001
Copyright 2001 Quality Plus Technologies and Carol Dekkers. All rights reserved.
Announcer: Welcome to Quality Plus e-Talk with Carol Dekkers, sponsored by StickyMinds.com, your online information resource for building better software.
Carol Dekkers: Hello, and welcome to Quality Plus e-Talk with Carol Dekkers. I'm Carol Dekkers, president of Quality Plus Technologies, Inc., and we are acknowledged leaders and providers of professional software measurement and function point analysis consulting services. Quite a specialty. Today I'm here with Johanna Rothman, whom many of you may know from Internet listening, from many of the shows that we've done in the past. This is our first, premiere show of this new season. And I'd like to welcome Johanna to the show. Welcome, Johanna.
Johanna Rothman: Hello, Carol. It's nice to be here.
Carol: Johanna observes and consults on managing high technology product development, looking for the leverage points that will make her clients more successful. And today we're going to talk about something that I think a lot of people have had challenges with, especially in our new economy, where a lot of people get moved from job to job, and that's the topic: What Do They Really Pay You to Do? And Johanna's written a number of articles, and we're going to walk through those, and really find out what it is that they pay us, in software development, to do-what they pay us in testing to do-and really, how can we be more successful in our jobs? What I'd like to do, Johanna, in the first five-minute segment here, is just go over a little bit about what we're going to talk about, kind of set the stage, so to speak, and then when we get back from the first break, we'll actually get right into it. How does that sound?
Johanna: Sounds good.
Carol: Okay. The article that you just wrote, which is phenomenal, was in the September/October 2001 issue of STQE magazine. Correct?
Johanna: That's right.
Carol: Can you just give me a little bit of an idea, kind of maybe a 30-second abstract, of what do you mean by "what do they pay you to do?"
Johanna: Well, I've been to a lot of conferences, and I've met a lot of people. And people are always saying to me, "But I really want to do this thing, but my manager doesn't want me to. I thought it was part of my job description, but my manager says we have no time. I see a real crying need for this in our organization, and my manager says, 'No, we can't do that.'" And so I thought, you know, this is crazy. These people really want to do a good job. But their personal mission is mismatched with what their company wants them to do. So that's… And I said, okay, I'd better write about this, so people can figure out, do I fit into this category, is there something I could be doing differently, to either realign my mission with my company wants, or make my company see that there's something else that I could be doing?
Carol: This sounds like it extends beyond just software. And I know that you wrote the article primarily for software developers, for software testers. But from what you've said so far, it sounds like it could be anybody in any job, no matter what they do.
Johanna: Well, it actually is for that. The article is aimed at testers, but I see this a lot with project managers. Project managers who want to see their product go from

I want to use my granddads camera an I would like to get a telephoto/ zoom lens to try and take bird pictures. I'm seriously new to this and I have worked out it has a M42 screw mount now I'm wondering will any lens work so long as it fits or do i need to look for a lens that will work spesifically with this camera model. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Film cameras are now slowly wither away, but there is still a great crowd for him. Our list offers the best SLR camera to learn photography, how it should be taught. compact zoom lenses are still in the script and Focus Free camera is cheap and reliable, but it is dying a natural death.
Posted 21 June 2011 - 04:04 AM
Correct, M42 screw mount lenses will work with the camera.
Posted 02 November 2011 - 08:23 AM
I think you should go for the specific lenses for your camera. Because if you will try to set other lens in this camera then you may loose the picture quality.

LOS ANGELES -- Leah Bettelman, often regarded as the materfamilias of southern California's coin-op trade, has died. She was 94.
Bettelman was principal of C.A. Robinson & Co., a former coin machine distributorship serving California. Founded in 1936 by Charles A. Robinson, the eponymous distributorship became one of the nation's premier coin machine equipment dealers after Leah's husband, Al Bettelman, bought the company. Al died in 1984 at age 70.
At its peak, C.A. Robinson & Co. maintained its headquarters in Los Angeles, a satellite branch in San Francisco and an extensive street route serving southern California. The company closed a year ago, ending its 76-year reign as one of the amusement industry's longest-running and most respected distributorships. Leah's sons, Sandy and Ira Bettelman, managed the business during its last 30 years.
The American Amusement Machine Association honored Leah Bettelman as Woman of the Year in 1993.
Funeral services will take place at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 22, at the Hillside Mortuary on 6001 Centinela Ave. in Los Angeles, CA.

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests
Our laboratory is interested in studying molecular mechanisms involved in cytokine receptor signaling in hematopoiesis, hematopoietic stem cell development, and leukemogenesis.
Key words: Hematopoiesis, leukemia, stem cells, cytokine receptor, signaling
Description of Research
Our lab focuses on molecular hematology-oncology with an emphasis on studying signal transduction in normal blood cell development and hematological malignancies. We use genetically-engineered mouse models, bone marrow transplantation, tissue culture cells, gene transcriptional profiling, protein complex purification and mass spectrometric identification, coupled with extensive usage of molecular, cellular, and biochemical technologies.
Hundreds of billions of blood cells have to be replenished everyday. Cytokines and cytokine receptors play important roles in blood cell formation, a process known as hematopoiesis. The amplitude and duration of cytokine receptor signaling is a highly regulated process that is crucial for cytokine- governed hematopoiesis. Dysregulation of these complex signaling networks can predispose to myeloproliferative diseases and myeloid leukemia.
We previously identified the adaptor protein, Lnk, as a novel negative regulator of cytokine receptor signaling. Lnk deficiency in mice results in an enhanced proliferative capacity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and progenitor cells of multiple lineages. Lnk loss-of-function leads to hyper-sensitivity to thrombopoietin (Tpo) and erythropoietin (Epo), which regulate platelet and red blood cell formation, respectively. Our results also implicate a new mechanism for rapidly downmodulating cytokine signaling: Lnk negatively regulates cytokine receptor induced JAK2 activity in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. We are interested in
1. Elucidating molecular mechanisms of Lnk regulatory functions in cytokine receptor signaling
2. Understanding both normal and oncogenic cytokine receptor signaling processes that control hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell numbers and development in vivo
3. Undertaking studies to identify novel signaling components in the receptor/JAK2 signaling complex that lead to oncogenic transformation, as JAK2 is the central kinase governing many cytokine receptor signaling, and has been found mutated in some patients with myeloproliferative diseases.
4. Understanding ubiquitination and de-ubiquitination in regulation of cytokine signaling and hematopoietic stem cell expansion.
5. Investigating cytokine signaling in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Rotation Projects
Potential projects can be discussed with Dr. Tong.

Once I step into the swamp across the road, I can not see 10 feet..

Good to see another Yugo fan.. So some of the barrels are sewer pipes. Ah hell just adjust the sights..
