State action may force early decision on gym
Efforts to save the old Powell High School gym face another bump in the road due to recent action by the Wyoming School Facilities Commission.
In a report to the school board last week, Superintendent Kevin Mitchell said the district was informed that the commission has allocated funding for the planning and design of a new middle school — but there's a catch. The district will not receive the money until a site is chosen for the school.
Mitchell said designing a building is "site-specific," so planning can't begin until the designers know where the building is going to be.
If the district is not ready to use the money in a timely manner, the commission will reallocate the money to another district, and district would have to wait for the next funding cycle by the Wyoming Legislature to receive the funding again. This would delay the start of planning for up to two years.
The School Facilities Commission, which funds school buildings in Wyoming and has the final say on where a school is sited, has indicated that the preferred site for a new middle school is at the present school site. The new school would be constructed on the site of the old gym, while the present middle school continues to occupy the current building, which would be demolished once construction is completed.
At its June meeting, the board voted to mothball the gym for a year rather than demolish it this summer. The action was intended to allow time for a group trying to save the gym as a community recreation center to come up with a plan to take over the gym and find funding for the project.

Pool moving forward, slowly
Progress contingent on Sletten's 'value engineering'
The Powell City Council on Monday evening voted four to two in favor of drafting a letter of intent to contract with Sletten Construction of Wyoming to build the new family aquatic center.
Councilmen John Wetzel, Josh Shorb, Jim Hillberry and Rex Sanders voted in favor of the motion, with Councilmen Tim Sapp and Mark Senn casting the two dissenting votes. Mayor Scott Mangold also voted in favor of drafting the letter.
The letter will make the intent to contract contingent upon Sletten's ability to 'value engineer' its aquatic center construction bid down to a number acceptable to a majority of the council.
In moving forward with Sletten's low bid, the city effectively decided to go against the recommendation by Burbach Aquatics, Inc., the project designer and engineer, to re-bid the project.
"We have a fear that this is going to cost us a lot more money. A fear that no one is going to want to bid this project. A fear that we're going to have to restart from square one, and I don't want to do that," said Mayor Mangold.
Project manager Nancy Ronto, of Burbach Aquatics, added, "If the city moves to (work out an agreement with the low bidder), Burbach will do its best to work with whatever company is chosen to do the work."
The letter will be drafted by Burbach Aquatics and it will be voted on by the city council, possibly as early as next week.
Members of the pool committee appointed by Mayor Mangold were pleased that the project is moving forward — even if that progress is slow.
"I'm glad that they voted the way they did last night," said committee member Teri Oursler. "I'm glad they seemed to be going forward."
Committee co-chairman David Blevins added, "The community aquatic center is for the good health of our families, schools, kids, seniors … everyone in our community. We are committed to making Powell a healthy community, and the aquatic center does that. Conducting the value engineering at this point in the process is a good plan. It is law that the aquatic center be built."

Powell's 13-year-old All-Stars second at state tourney
Powell's 13-year-old Babe Ruth All-Stars ventured to Green River for the state tournament last week and came away with a runner-up finish after posting a 2-2 mark.
Powell opened the tournament Friday with a 7-4 decision over Sheridan. The victory was sparked by solid pitching, timely hitting and strong defensive play in the field, said coach Rob Cragoe, whose team scored five runs in the seventh inning.
Handling the majority of the pitching duties for Powell were Cooper Wise and Justin Lynn, who combined for just less than seven innings of work. Hayden Cragoe also saw time on the mound and recorded the final out of the game against the lone batter he faced.
"Sheridan has a good group of kids, and it was a great game," Coach Cragoe said. "Our kids played well, and made the plays they needed to make."
Later Friday, Powell suffered its first loss of the tournament, an 11-8 setback at the hands of Jackson Hole.
Powell fell behind 3-2 during the first inning, and later found themselves facing a 7-2 deficit after three innings. Powell struck for a combined six runs during the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, but a four-run fifth by Jackson proved to be the difference in the outcome.
Hayden Cragoe, who worked two innings, and BreAnn Hollenbeck, who got five innings of work, shouldered the pitching load for Powell.
"We fought our way back into it," Coach Cragoe said. "This team is noted for that. They kept battling because they never thought they were out of it."

Ending on a strong note
Pioneers claim game two of twinbill with Cubs

Simply put, the Powell Pioneers had their backs against the wall during game two of their doubleheader with the Cody Cubs.
Coach Jeff Young's team had already lost game one by a 10-7 score, and the second matchup looked as if it might produce the same result when Powell's 3-0 lead turned into a 6-3 deficit by the time the final out was recorded in the top of the fourth inning.
However, with two outs in the bottom of the fourth, Powell's fortunes began to change when Pioneer Gianluca Giarrizzo reached first base via a walk and later scored on an RBI-double by Scotty Jameson. Grant Geiser followed with a triple and an RBI to cut Cody's lead to 6-5, and Brandon Sullivan tied the contest with a run-scoring single before the inning came to a close.
To the credit of the Cubs, the 6-6 tie didn't last long, thanks to Jake Howard's two-run double in the ensuing inning following a Pioneer error and a walk with two outs. Once again, though, Powell let its bats do its talking to the tune of a six-run fifth inning.
"Like we did in game one, we made some mistakes and got in our own way," Coach Young said. "But we did a good job hitting the ball, and we were able to regain the lead. Once we got ahead in the bottom of the fifth, we took care of business and put the game away."

Academies benefit children and their parents
Park County School District No. 1 wrapped up its final session of Summer Academies Friday.
The academies offered enrichment activities for students from kindergarten through eighth grade. Classes ranged from cooking, art and woodworking to gardening, auto mechanics and interior design. The rock wall course was offered in multiple sessions due to high demand.
Organizers did a great job, with volunteer teachers, of thinking creatively to give students a wide variety of activities to choose from.
The children who participated, of course, gained from learning new skills — and sharpening their talents. Most students truly were enriched by their experiences.
Parents, especially those who work full-time, had the benefit of knowing their children had positive activities, with good supervision, to fill long summer afternoons.
The academies cost $15 a week, with discounts given to families enrolling multiple children. That's less than the cost of a babysitter.
The district charged just enough, with some additional state funding, to cover the cost of materials.
Talk about a bargain.
It's an example of our schools going above and beyond to provide great opportunities for our youth.

Wolves back to endangered list
Wolves are back on endangered species status, at least temporarily, killing fall wolf hunting in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.
Late Friday afternoon, U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy in Missoula, Mont., granted a preliminary injunction restoring federal protection for wolves in the Northern Rockies.
"I think he made a mistake," said Rep. Pat Childers, R-Cody, of Molloy's injunction. "He made a decision without considering the facts."
Nonetheless, it means the federal government is once again in the wolf-management driver's seat — temporarily, at least.
According to a Wyoming Game and Fish Department news release, the judge's decision means wolves cannot be killed in Wyoming unless the animals are attacking livestock.
"It is a step forward," said Louisa Willcox, of the Natural Resources Defense Council, one of the conservation groups that challenged the delisting in March. "But we are a long way from getting the issue resolved."
Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., is not pleased with the ruling and said so in a news release Saturday.
"Today's ruling by an activist judge was not based on sound science, but rather (on) pressure from environmental groups making exaggerating claims. After years of struggle and debate, we are right back where we started — with Washington, not Wyoming, in control over wolf management. That is unacceptable to me and to the people of Wyoming."

Council considering pool options ... again
Sletten Construction of Wyoming does not meet the qualifications to bid on Contract No. 1 (pool construction) of the aquatic center project, according to Dave Burbach, of Burbach Aquatics Inc.
Burbach made the announcement at a July 18 City Council work session.
According to Burbach, a number of the projects submitted by Sletten Construction of Wyoming as project references were actually projects in which other Sletten companies were the contractors of record — specifically Sletten Construction of Nevada and Sletten Construction of Great Falls, Mont.
"Neither of these companies bid on the Powell project," said Burbach, in a letter dated July 17.
Shawn Warner, president of Sletten Construction of Wyoming, said, "What we were told at the pre-bid meeting is that, if we submit our qualifications prior to the bid opening, they would be reviewed. The feedback I got before the bid date (from a person named Andy in the Burbach office) was that it looked like it's adequate."
Burbach said there's no way Burbach Inc. would have known that the Sletten companies are separate corporations at that point.
"What do you do when you are hiring someone?" he asked. "Do you check their references before or after you decide to hire them? You check after you make a decision. That's what we did, and that's when we learned about this... If these were branch offices, we could overlook it, but these are separate entities."

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the lung over time, from its formation to the mature structure. In all air-breathing vertebrates the lungs are developed from the ventral wall of the oesophagus as a pouch which divides into two sacs. In amphibians and many reptiles the lungs retain very nearly this primitive sac-like character, but in the higher forms the connection with the esophagus becomes elongated into the windpipe and the inner walls of the sacs become more and more divided, until, in the mammals, the air spaces become minutely divided into tubes ending in small air cells, in the walls of which the blood circulates in a fine network of capillaries. In mammals the lungs are more or less divided into lobes, and each lung occupies a separate cavity in the thorax.

The developmental sequence of events leading to the formation of adult muscle that occurs in the anima. In vertebrate skeletal muscle the main events are: the fusion of myoblasts to form myotubes that increase in size by further fusion to them of myoblasts, the formation of myofibrils within their cytoplasm and the establishment of functional neuromuscular junctions with motor neurons. At this stage they can be regarded as mature muscle fibers.

Study Abroad
Inherently educational, travel is transformative, particularly for college students. The College of Fine Arts regularly witnesses how travel changes students' lives and we are committed to providing our students with more opportunities to travel, study, exhibit and perform in this country and abroad. That commitment includes providing financial assistance and to sustain that commitment we seek to establish a College of Fine Arts endowment dedicated to supporting student travel.
Through our commitment to present fine and performing arts students with travel and study abroad options, we develop vital global awareness in our graduates and position them to effectively navigate the complex but shrinking world they will inherit as adults.
Our priority is to instill appreciation of global awareness in all our students. Travel, particularly on an international scale, helps to develop the capacity to value foreign cultures, promote broader understanding, and enhance appreciation of different people. These are essential characteristics of world citizenship. Moreover, by aggressively identifying relevant opportunities and providing financial support that is so vital to our students, the college can distinguish itself and create recruitment advantages over many of our peers.
Imagine having the opportunity to perform for an appreciative audience at the world's largest jazz festival in Montreux, Switzerland, or to study art in the shadow of the Uffizi Museum in Florence, Italy. Marshall students have done just that. Since 2009 and with very limited resources, the College of Fine Arts has assisted students with the expense of travel and study in Brazil; Florence; Sydney, Australia; Montreux; and Nice, France. During the 2011-2012 academic year, fine arts students will have study and performance opportunities in France, Scotland, Italy, and Australia and will continue to participate in our exchange program in Brazil. These exciting international destinations are complemented by numerous regional and national venues to which our students travel annually for study, exhibition, and performance opportunities that are hallmarks of a quality fine arts education. We want to insure that these experiences, which truly distinguish our students and their education, become firmly embedded in the culture of the College of Fine Arts at Marshall University.
For more information contact Melanie Griffis at email@example.com or 304-696-3686.

Sperm function tests
Sperm function tests include a number of laboratory procedures to assess the health, speed, and stamina of a man's sperm. Some of the specific investigations in sperm function testing include:
- Hemizona assay, which evaluates the ability of sperm to bind to the zona pellucida.
- Sperm antibodies in male and female, which determines the presence of antibodies bound to the sperm membrane or the presence of circulating sperm antibodies in the female partner.
- In-Vitro cervical mucus penetration test, which evaluates the ability of sperm to penetrate cervical mucus in a "test tube" situation. The patient's sperm is compared against a control. This can also be used to determine whether the partner's cervical mucus is hostile to sperm.
- Acrosome reaction, which evaluates the proportion of sperm that undergoes an acrosome reaction.
- Hamster sperm penetration test, which evaluates the ability of sperm to fuse and penetrate specially treated hamster eggs.
- Hypo-osmotic swelling, which determines the proportion of sperm that contain intact functional membranes.
- Sperm overnight culture, which can reveal a great deal of information, such as whether spermatozoa do not survive well in culture, or if they are contaminated with bacteria.

See the reports below for media coverage of the Coalition for Patients' Rights and its issues of concern.
This Nurses Station podcast features CPR spokeswoman Maureen Shekleton discussing how scope of practice battles can prevent patients from accessing the treatments they need. Listen to the interview.
CPR spokespeople Lisa Summers and Janet Bezner discussed protecting patient access to the full range of health care providers during an RN.FM Radio interview. Listen to the interview with hosts Kevin Ross and Keith Carlson.
CPR contributed to this journal article (April 2012) [PDF] describing how collaboration among an array of health care providers can lead to easier access to care and better outcomes for patients who have complex conditions like diabetes. Reprinted here with permission from Health and Interprofessional Practice.
CPR is referenced as an organization "seeking to counter efforts by physician groups designed to limit patients' choice of health practitioners" in an article in the British journal The Lancet describing efforts of nurse practitioners to work to their full scope of practice, independent of physician supervision (Volume 377, Issue 9766, Pages 625 - 626, February 19, 2011).
CPR is quoted in a Fox News report (February 19, 2009) on physicians requiring patients to sign a waiver saying they won't post comments or reviews on their physician online. www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,497066,00.html

Columnist for Canada's National Post Christie Blatchford recently wrote an article entitled "Toronto: City of Sissies" on the concept of masculinity and the role of men in modern Toronto. I took issue with her comments and wrote her a personal response, which I reproduce here. Click here to read the original article
Ms. Blatchford,
It was with a mixture of sadness, anger, and fear that I read your recent article, "Toronto: City of Sissies." Sadness that you would devalue and demonize self-expression, cognizance of emotions, and empathy from my gender, opting instead to promote the masculine role that has caused so many of society's ills and has done great harm to countless numbers of men worldwide. Anger that you would put so little stock in self-determination, only accepting your own narrow view of what makes a man as valid. And finally, fear that others reading your column would take you seriously, further hindering efforts of men to break free of such restrictive roles and recognize themselves as wholly human, not some incomplete half of a being.
Men in Western society have traditionally been taught from a very young age to act in ways that run contrary to common sense: to use violence to solve their problems over negotiation and compromise, to repress their emotions until they reach a level of internal turmoil that can only be released in violent and horrific manners, and to treat women as inferior, helpless creatures that require a male figure to be "complete." (Not to mention the encouragement of viewing women as sex objects, leading to atrocities such as domestic abuse and rape.)
As society enters the twenty-first century and feminism reaches its maturity, we have been granted the opportunity to look within ourselves, reexamine the role of gender in our society and lives, and act on that knowledge to better both ourselves and our society at large. What we have found specifically regarding men has not been wholly positive.
Encouraging traditional masculinity (i.e. not being a "sissy" and not expressing emotional distress or physical affection) limits male self-determination. If a man is never allowed to determine for himself who he is and how he fits into society, he becomes broken, repressed, and unhappy. If a man wishes to express his emotions (a very healthy act to anyone with the slightest concept of psychology) he should be allowed to do so. If a man wishes to embrace his feminine traits and pursuits, no matter what they may be, there should be nothing standing in his way to becoming a complete person. When this man encounters regressive dogma such as your own commanding him to repress himself to fit those traditional gender roles, it creates such cognitive dissonance in him as to cause psychological harm. That is where so many social ills for the male gender come from.
The issue I take with the opinions you've expressed in your article aren't simply a matter of disagreement, whinging, or political correctness. What you say is directly harmful to my gender's progress. In the year 2011, a man should be allowed to be who he wants to be, regardless of dogma, tradition, or the backwards opinions of a newspaper columnist. You have no right to tell a man (or any other person, for that matter) how he should act and who he should be. That is his right and his right alone.
I sincerely hope that you reconsider your stance on masculinity before penning any more articles on the subject. Your ideals are regressive, archaic, and harmful to the male gender, and are not fit to be printed in such a respectable paper as the National Post. Please learn more about men, masculinity, and gender roles before you do any more harm to my gender.

Artist Statement
I believe that pictures hold power. Images establish normativity in race, gender and sexuality with such pervasive and ubiquitous effect, that they take on the quality of white noise. I work in photography for it's inherent tension between truth and fiction which allows me to construct, critique and document at the same time. Two primary instincts drive my artistic practice. The first is to disrupt the ways in which gender, race and sexuality are constructed and depicted in dominant visual culture. Secondly, my work intervenes in the history of absence of the marginal subject through pictures that function as art and evidence. I merge fashion, documentary and narrative approaches as a strategy to upend unconscious prejudice on the part of the viewer. For example, 'otherness' is often depicted in a documentary modality or not at all, while normative subjects are elevated through the lighting, styling and production of fashion and commercial portraiture approaches. Breaking these conventions allows me to reveal unstated institutionalized, visual hierarchies. I exhibit my work in two primary contexts: contemporary art settings and online where I engage with audiences whose narratives are similarly absent from normative discourses and whose participation in traditional art spaces may be limited.
awww, thank you!!!!!!! I'll post more soon, I promise!!

Project overview
Land governance in East Asia
Better food security through responsible and democratic land governance
Significant economic growth in Lao PDR has led to an increase in conflicts and competition over land, threatening food security, poverty reduction efforts and biodiversity. In 2009, SDC launched the Rights-LINK project to improve the management of land and natural resources in the country. The project's aim is to ensure that legislation and decision-making processes concerning land and land use are informed and transparent.
Lao PDR is endowed with rich natural resources. Investors from inside and outside the country want access to land and titles to secure their investments. The Government of Lao PDR considers this situation critical but effective control mechanisms for land concessions are unlikely to take effect soon. Agribusiness firms continue to acquire land concessions at, what the environmental group TERRA calls, «inconceivably low rates».
The pressure on natural resources due to increased consumption also threatens the quality of biodiversity. In Lao PDR two-thirds of the population depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Rural populations rely on the variety of plant and animal life, for instance, nontimber forest products, for food and as sources of income. The biodiversity of the environment is therefore a factor in the securing of livelihoods and in the reduction of poverty.

Starting point/background information
Conflicts and competition over land have increased dramatically, negatively affecting food security and poverty reduction as well as leading to unequal distribution of land and environmental degradation.
Project goals
To improve the knowledge of and participation in decision-making on land-related issues of government, civil society, the private sector and local communities (particularly women and ethnic groups).
Target groups
Those land users in the project area whose livelihoods are most vulnerable from and degrading biodiversity.

SOUL CLAP & DANCE-OFF with DJ JONATHAN TOUBIN
New York Night Train's Soul Clap and Dance-Off is North America's most popular soul party - by far playing to more people in more places and generating more capital than any of its contemporaries. The concept is simple-all night dancing to the wild soul 45s of subterranean superstar DJ Mr. Jonathan Toubin and, in the middle, a $100 dance contest judged by a community panel. Recession-friendly mass entertainment with a universally cheap door price, the dance party/spectacle not only sells beyond capacity at home, but has brought its excitement to domestic markets all the way from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine and internationally from Tel Aviv to Mexico City-including monthly residencies in New York, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Oakland, and PDX. The Dance-Off portion features judges from every edge of music and culture from classic subcultural icons like Mike Watt and Jello Biafra, to rock stars Andrew Van Wyngarden (MGMT) and Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), to interesting cultural figures like Karla LaVey (Satanic Priestess) and Matt Gonzalez (Green Party Vice Presidential Candidate) to your favorite neighborhood heroes. Catch The Soul Clap!

"DJ Jonathan Toubin spins the 45s. The mid-'60s to early-'70s r &b and funk will have you dancing with the stars." - Sharyn Jackson, Village Voice
"New York's premier dusty 45 party, attracting rockers, mods and dandies alike." - Time Out Chicago
"Genius" - Josiah Hughes, Exclaim! "An eve of 45-rpm soul sizzlin' and expressive dance." - Lina Lecaro, LA Weekly

Customer Raves & Reviews
Thrilled to find the theme, Damask, for a Wedding Rehearsal Dinner at Magnetstreet.com.
Traditional Damask Rehearsal Dinner Invitations When preparing for a special event, I choose a theme and create the occasion around it. Preparing for a Wedding Rehearsal Dinner, my theme was black and white Damask. Ordering through Magnet Street allowed me the opportunity to give the guest a hint of the theme they will be sharing for the occasion. I was very pleased with my invitations when they arrived. Packing prevented any damage and they arrived in expected time. The wording was precise. The black ink design and print, on front and back of the invitations, was uniform and dramatic looking on the selected paper. My third son just became engaged and planning his wedding in a year. Another Wedding Rehearsal Dinner will require planning and I will be referring back to Magnet Street for theme invitations once more. Thank you, Magnet Street for the beautiful invitations!
Almost Perfect
Vision of Love Rehearsal Dinner Invitations I L-O-V-E-D the design for the invitation but when I got them yesterday the border was not the same the entire way around the invites. Must be a printing glitch or something. The menus I got were perfect.
Rehearsal Dinner Invitees
Harvest of Love Rehearsal Dinner Invitations They came out great. After I submitted my order I realized I left some information out. I called up Magnet Street and they helped me add the info I wanted.
Love the design and quality
Vision of Love Rehearsal Dinner Invitations The only thing I would note is that the items arrived a little smaller than expected, but didn't bother me cause they turned out great and was the perfect design!!
Vision of Love Rehearsal Dinner Invitations This is perfect for a rehearsal dinner invite. It is simple and elegant. There is plenty of room when personalizing to put a little rhyme or cutesy saying along with all of the pertinent information. We absolutely love them!

There are several areas of need for Seattle Pacific Crew, and immediate impact can be made with even the smallest of financial donations. The rowing program has several development vehicles that allow individuals and corporate entities to tailor their contributions as they prefer.
The current operations (assistant salary, travel, maintenance) and capital equipment (boats and oars) needs are serviced through the university fundraising account for crew. Both men's and women's crew funds are managed together but donors can still designate which team they would like their contributions to be directed towards as well as what functional area merely by designating on their contribution check or with accompanying documentation. For those interested in longer range support, there are also two different endowments specifically established for rowing at Seattle Pacific. The James & Pam Schultz Crew Endowment is established to benefit either team, while the David Godfrey Men's Rowing Endowment and the Robert M. Curley Endowment are established to support men's rowing exclusively. As with all endowments of this type, all contributions form the principal base within a University managed investment fund and only a portion of the interest may be utilized for team expenditures each year. These endowments are designed to build on the future of Seattle Pacific rowing and can also be designated as the beneficiary accounts for wills, trusts, and other estate planning instruments.

Prized Curiosity
Last month, when Carol Greider won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, she called the award "a boost for fundamental, curiosity-driven science." It was also a measure of her fortitude, given that she has struggled with dyslexia all her life.
In 1984—at age 23— Greider, the Daniel Nathans Professor and Director of Molecular Biology and Genetics, co-discovered the enzyme telomerase, which protects chromosome ends (telomeres). But back then, as a grad student at UC Berkeley, she and her colleagues had no idea of the discovery's medical relevance.
"We were just trying to understand how chromosomes behave," says Greider. "If you don't understand how cells normally function, then you can't find out what goes on in cancer cells." It wasn't until 1990 that researchers discovered that telomerase plays a major role in cancer growth. Not long afterward, they also found a connection to diseases related to aging.
In cancer, where cells reproduce rampantly, tumors produce higher levels of telomerase, allowing cells to grow. In other diseases, telomeres shorten (their protective plastic-like tips unravel) because of a lack of telomerase. Patients with too little of the enzyme can't maintain the production of stem cells in bone marrow and other tissues.
The hope, says Greider, is to find a way to regulate the production of telomerase. Biotech companies are eager to use that knowledge to develop drugs that control the enzyme.
Greider, 48, is one of only 10 women to win a Nobel in Physiology or Medicine and the third youngest person to have received one in the prize's 108-year history. She credits another woman, her mentor, Elizabeth Blackburn, of the University of California San Francisco—who shares this year's Nobel (as does their colleague Jack Szostak, of Harvard University)—for encouraging her to probe molecular biology.
At the same time, says Greider, by example, Blackburn taught Greider how to be a good mentor: "to listen to people and to address their own problems rather than imposing—to let students make their own discoveries."
That approach proved transformative for Greider, who always struggled with reading and pronouncing words. To this day, Greider wrestles with dyslexia, though for years, she didn't know her learning disability had a name.
"You learn to overcome it," says Greider, whose son also has dyslexia. "For me, it was a problem of self-esteem because I was put in with all the kids who needed remedial help. But I liked reading. Once I read more, it got easier."
Still, spelling and sounding out words remained difficult, so Greider relied on her photographic memory. She got A-plusses in anatomy and chemistry, but standardized tests always tripped her up. Her GRE scores fell short—only two of the 10 universities she applied to accepted her. Greider calls dyslexia a different way of viewing the world. "Sometimes," she says, "it's an advantage."
Hopkins oncologist Mary Armanios, who trained in Greider's lab, recalls that from the outset, the Nobel laureate explained the details of the telomere using accessible terms and pencil and paper to map everything out. Armanios doesn't attribute Greider's novel insights to dyslexia. Rather, she says, "I think it's this idea of needing to work a little bit harder at everything you do."
Drawing from her work with Greider, Armanios was able to make a human connection to a patient's situation, which resulted in a critical finding about idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (see sidebar, page 1).
Robert Brodsky, director of Hematology, says he can't think of a more worthy recipient of the Nobel. "Carol's work is transformative," he says, "because it opens up so many areas of research." And, like Armanios, Brodsky admires Greider's unassuming ways: "She carries herself with confidence about her research, but she's very easygoing."
Awards like the Lasker (which Greider won in 2006) and the Nobel, says Greider, are "a testament to investing in people who have clever ideas that might not seem directly applicable to diseases but become apparent later on."
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will bestow the $1.4 million prize, diploma and medal on Greider, Blackburn and Szostak at a ceremony in Stockholm on Dec. 10. At that time, Greider will become the 20th of those with ties to the School of Medicine—the 33rd of those with ties to the University—to have received what is considered the most prestigious award in the world.
–Judy F. Minkove
"Exciting Clinical Relevance"
When she's not seeing patients at the Cancer Center, oncologist Mary Armanios spends time in her lab studying telomeres and the role they might play in age-related disease and cancer. One day during her fellowship several years ago, Armanios told Greider about a patient who had features that sounded to Armanios like a telomere problem.
Greider had been working with generations of mice that developed a worse phenotype each generation, with progressive loss of cellular renewal—a genetically observable trait. Armanios' patient, who had aplastic anemia, had also come from a family who fared worse with each generation. The grandmother got the disease in her 60s; the dad at 40; the son at 20.
Armanios noted that families like this one also had a history of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Turns out they did, too. She showed that short telomeres play a role in this disease of unknown origin. "The family just thought they were doubly cursed," says Armanios, "but now we know there's a connection to shortened telomeres between lung and blood disease. Based on Carol's basic research, we can now begin to understand what's going on in disease. We showed that the enzyme carried a mutation for telomerase in human families."
When Armanios connected those dots, says Greider, she made an important clinical connection between telomeres and disease, proving "exciting clinical relevance" beyond what they already knew about shortened telomeres in bone marrow failure.
In 2007, Armanios published a paper on families with lung disease in the New England Journal of Medicine. Since then, she receives calls regularly from clinicians who recognize the same patterns in families. That could be because 20,000 people die from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis every year—as many as die from pancreatic cancer. "This is a classic example," says Greider, "of the bridging of basic science and clinical medicine that Hopkins thrives on." Given this discovery, Armanios prefers to drop the word idiopathic—of unknown origin—from the disease's name.

April 5 — May 11
On the Main Stage
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Chris Coleman
Set in 17th century Venice, this is Shakespeare's profound tragedy of the power of love and jealousy. A highly esteemed general serving the state of Venice, Othello, secretly marries Desdemona, the daughter of a senator. As their marriage is revealed, jealousies around their love match and Othello's rise to prominence are unleashed, piling secret upon secret, and betrayal upon betrayal. A society seething with intrigue sets the stage for the ultimate tragedy—when love does not trust, and power is prized above all things.
Performance times:
Tuesday - Sunday evenings at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.
Thursday matinees at noon
View our Season Calendar for a full list of performances and dates.
The estimated run time is two hours and 40 minutes with one intermission.

Reviews and Features
Holly Johnson | The Oregonian [Review 14 Apr 2014]
"Othello'" at Portland Center Stage is Tightly Focused, Wonderfully Rich
"Shadows abound, and golden light plays upon on an impressive hunk of dark, thick-walled Italian Renaissance architecture with its rounded arches that takes us to both 17th-century Venice and Cyprus, and wonderfully rich period costumes by Susan E. Mickey fairly stagger with the weight of layered fabrics, furs and jewels. Then Shakespeare's language, his story, pierces through all this heavy opulence like a knife, sharp, clear and potent as delivered by a stellar cast.
"It's a tightly focused, mesmerizing production directed by Chris Coleman.
"Hoffman's Iago is a primary, fluid energy onstage. He's a dazzling liar, a psychopath by today's definition, all the more creepy because he's bland-faced and relaxed, guiltless and even self-righteous in his planting of lies to make Othello's wife Desdemona (a luminous performance by Nikki Coble) seem unfaithful. ... There's an element of "House of Cards" here, as Iago shares his dire plans directly with the audience before he commits them, and we can't help laughing in recognition of his gall.
"As Iago's wife Emilia, the best female role here, Dana Green creates an ironic, archly funny woman who learns, too late, of her husband's foul, false words that have set up the innocent Desdemona's undeserved death. Her anger is palpable, and her strength a beacon in the dark."
Deborah Kennedy | Willamette Week [Review 14 Apr 2014]
A review of Portland Center Stage's production of Shakespeare's tragedy of love and jealousy.
"The key to our willingness to suspend disbelief is Iago ... This performance can make or break the show, and fortunately for this Portland Center Stage production, Gavin Hoffman's nuanced portrayal of Othello's BFF/enemy-in-disguise has the stroke of genius about it.
"The same can be said of Dana Green's turn as Iago's wife, Emilia. It's a small role but an essential one, and in Green's hands, the scene in which Emilia and Desdemona lament a woman's lot (to love, cherish, sacrifice and suffer) is both poignant and edifying.
"The players get help from Scoff Fyfe's gorgeous, rotating set and Susan E. Mickey's sumptuous costumes. ... it's Shakespeare at its most traditional ...
"If Shakespeare be the food of love, play on."
