A lean and wiry man, the breast development stood in stark contrast to the rest of his body. But it was not Price's only symptom. His beard growth had slowed, he'd lost hair from his arms, chest, and legs, and he'd stopped waking up with morning erections. "My sexual desire disappeared," he says. "My penis—I won't say it atrophied, but it was so flaccid that it looked very small in comparison with the way it used to be. Even my emotions changed."
The first three doctors Price consulted diagnosed him with gynecomastia, or the abnormal enlargement of the mammary glands in men. Tests further revealed that estrogen levels in his bloodstream were eight times higher than the normal limits for men, higher even than the levels typically seen in healthy women. Price's estrogen was so high, in fact, that the doctors were at a loss to explain it. One physician became so frustrated he eventually accused Price of secretly taking estrogen. "He thought I was a mental case," says Price, still angry as he recalls the experience.
Dispirited and in pain, he decided to try one more doctor, this time a fellow military man. He made an appointment with Lieutenant Colonel Jack E. Lewi, M.D., chief of endocrinology at the San Antonio Military Medical Center. During that first meeting, neither doctor nor patient had any inkling of just how long and complex this medical mystery would prove to be. Dr. Lewi initially checked for "usual suspect" lifestyle factors known to trigger gynecomastia, from alcoholism to certain herbal ingredients, like tea-tree oils and lavender. With those ruled out, Dr. Lewi was left with a more dreaded suspect: an estrogen-secreting tumor.
Over the next few months, Dr. Lewi ran multiple tests, checking Price for cancer of the testicles, adrenal glands, chest, and lungs. The good news: When the final test came back negative, Price was in the clear on all fronts. The not-so-good news: Dr. Lewi still had no clue what was causing his patient's hormones to go haywire. But he was determined not to be the fourth doctor to leave James Price in limbo.
In the classes that Dr. Lewi teaches to medical students and residents, he has long offered this advice: If you're not finding the right answers, you're not asking the right questions. Though he'd asked Price about his lifestyle and habits innumerable times, he decided to go back once again, and this time to make his questions as specific as possible. "I said, 'Let's go over your diet, meal by meal, and you tell me every single thing you eat and drink.' He said, 'Sure, Dr. Lewi. I get up and usually have some cereal.' I said, 'Do you put anything on it?' He said 'Soy milk.' "
Price explained that he'd developed lactose intolerance in recent years and had switched to soy milk exclusively. It had, in fact, become one of his favorite drinks, a great thirst quencher in the Texas heat.
Dr. Lewi suddenly felt his excitement building. He asked Price how much soy milk, on average, he drank each day.
"He told me, 'Probably about 3 quarts,' " recalls Dr. Lewi about the moment that changed everything.
Over the past decade, soy foods and good health have become inextricably linked in the national consciousness. According to annual U.S. consumer attitude surveys by the United Soybean Board, 85 percent of those polled in 2008 rated soy products as "healthy," a significant increase from the 59 percent who in 1997 thought this was the case. Many men, to be sure, are hard pressed to explain why soy is supposed to be so healthy, but they take it on faith that they should embrace the bean.
"It's something you need to train yourself to like, you know, for the health benefits," my friend Larry, a distance runner, opined recently. "Tofu's the modern equivalent of cod liver oil," added another buddy, Bill. Three times a week, his wife stir-fries tofu with chard. "It's this gunk she calls superfood. I call it soylent green." He pauses a beat before adding, "I guess I'm grateful she gets me to eat it."
Long the foundation of a vegetarian diet, tofu provides protein with little of the saturated fat and none of the moral indigestion that comes with meat. Moreover, in the past decade, research has emerged suggesting that scarfing down soy may also play an active role in extending our lives. In 1999, soy protein earned a highly coveted FDA-allowed health claim: Diets that include 25 grams—about a pound of tofu—a day may reduce the risk of heart disease. Add to this the number of studies showing that soy protein might also help protect against prostate cancer, and suddenly the stuff starts looking like powerful medicine for men.
Of course, most medicines have side effects. And when you consume soy protein, you're actually courting the Mr. Hyde side of two natural drugs: genistein and daidzein. Both act so similarly to estrogen that they're known as phytoestrogens (plant-produced estrogens). Soybeans couldn't care less about human sex characteristics—genistein and daidzein may have evolved to act as chemical defenses against fungi and grazing animals. (They aren't very effective deterrents, apparently, since soy meal is widely used to feed livestock.) But when humans consume these compounds in high enough quantities, they may experience gender-bending nightmares like James Price's. What's more, studies of these phytoestrogens in leading peer-reviewed medical journals suggest that even lower doses—such as the amount in the 25-gram soy protein target cited by the FDA—have the potential to wreak hormonal havoc.
Here are a few of the recent findings across the life stages of men.
Babies: Weaned On the Bean
A whopping 35 percent of bottle-fed babies in the United States receive at least some of their protein from soy. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is taking steps to change this: It recommends that all infants who cannot be breastfed be given cow's-milk formulas as the first preferred alternative. Healthy full-term infants should be given soy formula only when medically necessary, the AAP's 2008 report states. Babies with an extreme form of lactose intolerance fall into this category, but many others who suffer from colic and excessive crying are switched to soy formula despite a lack of proven benefits.
Paul Cooke, Ph.D., a reproductive biologist at the University of Illinois, has studied mice raised on enough genistein to make their blood levels comparable to those of human infants fed soy formula. Among other worrisome findings, he discovered significant shrinkage of the thymus gland, a key part of the immune system. "The thymus," says Cooke, "is like a finishing school for white blood cells—it's where they go to mature."
Whether the same effect occurs in human infants is difficult to say, but a 2001 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association surveyed over 800 adults, ages 20 to 34, who were fed either soy-based or cow's-milk formulas during their infancy. One of the few differences to emerge was that the group raised on soy formula regularly used more asthma and allergy medications in adulthood. Was this just a quirk of the sampling—or could it represent a subtle impairment of immune function?
"I don't know the answer," says Cooke. "But the point is I don't think anyone knows. There are 20 million people in the United States alone who have consumed soy formula as infants. When people ask me about doing experiments, I tell them we already are—with a large chunk of the country's population."
For now, at least, the United States is gambling that widespread use of soy formula won't lead to long-term consequences. In 2005, Israel's health ministry recommended that soy products be limited in young children and, if possible, avoided altogether in infants. In issuing such a caution, Israel joined France, New Zealand, and Australia in officially embracing a better-safe-than-sorry approach for the next generation.
Teens to 20s: Faux Muscle Fuel
Most weightlifters, whether they're dedicated competitors or occasional gym rats, understand the importance of protein in muscle building and repair. And research has shown that the timing of when you swallow that protein is just as critical—a fact that's created a market for easy-to-consume protein supplements.
"It's kind of hard to throw a steak down right before or after a strength workout," says William Kraemer, Ph.D., a professor of kinesiology and a preeminent researcher of strength training and human performance at the University of Connecticut. Protein supplements allow an athlete to dump a scoop of powder in with some juice and chug what he needs, when he needs it.
Giant canisters of the stuff line the shelves at GNC and similar health-food stores nationwide, each brand touting its unique muscle-building properties. The most common sources of protein used in them are soy, whey, and casein. But the latter two, which come from animal sources, are more expensive to produce than soy. The question currently being debated by strength trainers and researchers is this: Does soy's relative affordability come at a cost to muscle gains?
In a 2005 study in the Journal of Nutrition, researchers comparing soy to casein concluded that "the biological value of soy protein must be considered inferior to that of casein protein in humans." Among other disadvantages, the researchers found, a significantly larger portion of soy is degraded to the waste product urea. Moreover, it contributes to less protein synthesis in the body.
"A protein like whey has much more robust biological effects than soy," acknowledges Kraemer. In terms of strength gains, however, he says more research is needed before he can provide definitive guidelines. "But my personal opinion is that soy protein is cheaper and whey protein is higher quality," he says. "There are also concerns that soy might decrease a man's testosterone production and increase his estradiol production, which we tend to associate with female hormone production."
After retiring from military service, James Price and his wife, Donna, moved to a small farm in Texas. He had a commercial pilot's license and split his time between flying and working the land. His passion was raising and training quarter horses that he broke himself. Price lived the kind of cowboy lifestyle that few of his friends, even those decades younger, had the stamina to sustain.
Donna cooked well-balanced meals, nothing fancy, just standard American fare. It was a good life.
Then Donna developed glioblastoma multi-forme, a lethal type of brain cancer. When she died, Price, then 55, was left to cope not only with his grief but a radical change in his daily routine. Not surprisingly, the diet of the new widower took a hit.
"All of a sudden," he says, "I was living on not-so-healthy meals I'd make for myself." He saw a product advertised on TV called Ensure; it was supposed to provide adults all the vitamins and minerals and other vital nutrients necessary for health. He also started drinking milk, a favorite from his childhood that he figured would supply protein and other nutrients.
Unfortunately, Price soon discovered he was lactose intolerant. "I switched to soy milk because it's lactose-free," he says, "and I had heard that soy milk is supposed to be good for you." He tried it and liked it. Soon soy milk became a regular item on his shopping list, something he bought on autopilot.
In the wake of Donna's death, Price's body as well as his emotions began to change, often in ways that were hard to separate from normal grief. Mood swings and a decrease in libido are not unusual companions to bereavement. But Price had a nagging sense that something was off. "I was becoming much more sentimental," he recalls, describing his emotions as almost feminine. "I'd break out and cry at a sad movie, that kind of thing. It just wasn't like me."
When Price began dating again, it was as if the sexual aspect had evaporated. "I enjoyed the company of women," he says, "but it was just like they were my friends. Even if I had wanted to do anything physical, I couldn't have."
The gynecomastia that eventually developed became deeply humiliating for Price. He stopped wearing T-shirts even on the hottest days, fearing his friends and neighbors might see the telltale bumps beneath the fabric. His breasts by this point resembled the buds of a pubescent girl.
Never once in the subsequent yearlong ordeal of medical testing did it cross his mind that soy milk might be the cause. "I had no idea," he says. "I never gave it a second thought."
The day Dr. Lewi asked him to stop drinking the stuff, he immediately complied. He also began checking the ingredient labels on all other items he regularly consumed. If Dr. Lewi was right, going cold turkey on soy just might begin to reverse the symptoms.
Over the next several months, blood tests revealed Price's estrogen levels were, indeed, dropping steadily back toward normal. Even better, the extreme nipple tenderness began abating. Eventually, his breasts stopped hurting completely and he gradually began feeling a little more like his old self.
Dr. Lewi, who had searched the medical literature extensively when trying to solve Price's case, had come across no papers linking soy to gynecomastia. Realizing his obligation to warn other doctors about the possibility, he told Price he wanted to follow him for several more months and eventually write up his case for a medical journal.
Price readily agreed, grateful for the chance to spare others from his ordeal.
20s to 40s: Privates in Peril
In a Harvard study published last year in the journal Human Reproduction, Jorge E. Chavarro, M.D., Sc.D., and his colleagues found a strong association between men's consumption of soy foods and decreased sperm counts. Ninety-nine men reported their intake of 15 different soy-based foods, then underwent semen analysis. Those in the highest category of daily soy intake averaged 32 percent fewer sperm per milliliter of ejaculate than those who went sans soy.
Dr. Chavarro cautions that this doesn't prove cause and effect, and that it's too early to counsel men to avoid soy foods in the hope of boosting fertility. "But clearly, this story is just starting," he says. "More studies need to be conducted."
If shooting blanks is worrisome, how about being unable to shoot at all? Two other recently published papers reveal that at least one soy component clearly impairs erectile function in animals—and may do so in men as well.
The studies, published in the Journal of Andrology and Urology respectively, looked at the effect of daidzein on the sexual function of male rats. Moderate doses of the phyto-estrogen administered either in youth or adulthood significantly affected the quality of their erections. Among other changes, the daidzein-exposed males produced less testosterone, had softer erections, and experienced biochemical changes to their penile tissues that left these tissues less elastic and less capable of complete blood engorgement.
While acknowledging that rat results do not always directly translate to humans, the authors of the first study suggest that this time there's reason to believe they will. They cite, among other things, a 10 percent higher incidence of erectile dysfunction in Chinese men known to consume high amounts of soy compared with Americans who avoid it. The authors of the Urology study sound a similar warning. They argue that it's reasonable to believe that men who consume lots of daidzein could experience tissue changes similar to those seen in another mammal.
Yufeng Huang, M.D., a coauthor on both papers, says that the "moderate" dose used in the animal studies leads to approximately the same blood level of daidzein in men who eat soy every day, a common practice in Asia. He believes soy represents a novel and previously overlooked risk factor for ED.
"We are now recommending that soy be avoided by patients with erectile dysfunction," Dr. Huang says. And because erectile dysfunction increases with age, he also suggests that men ages 40 and above limit their soy intake.
50s and Beyond: Brain Drain
Last summer, Eef Hogervorst, Ph.D., of England's Loughborough University, and other researchers published a study on soy products and dementia risk. The researchers focused their attention on older Indonesians, members of a culture in which tofu has long been a dietary staple. Hogervorst says her team began the study confident of finding a benefit from tofu's phytoestrogens. "Almost everything we'd learned from animal and cell-culture work indicated that estrogenlike compounds protect the brain," she says.
In older men and older women alike, however, they found exactly the opposite indication: Participants over age 68 who were regularly eating the most tofu had double the risk of dementia and memory impairment as those consuming a more moderate amount. "We were very surprised by this at the time," says Hogervorst, "but a new consensus is starting to form now. Hormones and hormonelike products are not very good for people over 65."
In terms of soy itself, Hogervorst suspects its reputation is changing. "For a long time now," she says, "people have been finding only good things about phytoestrogens. Gradually, as some contrasting information accumulates, the paradigm changes 180 degrees and you see people arguing that phytoestrogens are all bad. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle."
Dr. Lewi's case report on James Price's condition was published in the May/June 2008 edition of Endocrine Practice, a journal read by many of the nation's in-the-trenches endocrinologists. Thanks to this, doctors now have a newly documented agent to consider when evaluating gynecomastia.
For his part, Dr. Lewi believes that soy products in moderation can still be a healthy part of a man's diet. "The problem," he says, "is when a thing like soy is touted as this wonderful panacea for health, and people end up going overboard on it."
A final twist in the Price case, however, shows how difficult it can be to avoid soy. During the follow-up blood testing Price agreed to undergo, his estrogen levels continued to drop, in a virtually linear fashion, back toward normal. Then, several months later, and seemingly for no reason, the positive trend reversed. As soon as he saw that Price's estrogen was once again climbing, Dr. Lewi called his patient.
Before Dr. Lewi could even announce the results, Price said, "I already know what you're going to tell me, Dr. Lewi. You're going to say my estrogen level is coming up."
Dumbfounded, Dr. Lewi asked Price how he knew that without seeing the test results.
Price explained that after switching from soy milk to lactose-free milk, he was in the grocery store one day and bought some more Ensure. Though he'd followed Dr. Lewi's advice and checked the labels on virtually every product he purchased, he'd neglected to check Ensure. "It's advertised as having vitamins and minerals and all the stuff you need to stay healthy," he says.
Only after his breasts started hurting and growing again did it occur to Price that Ensure might also contain the last thing his body needed. He checked the label: Ensure contained soy protein. He told Dr. Lewi that he threw out the rest and was no longer drinking it.
Subsequent blood tests showed that this was enough to send Price's estrogen back in the healthy direction. Several months later, his estrogen levels—once higher than those of most women—were in the low-to-normal range for healthy men. They've remained in that range ever since, but the physical changes to his penis, his loss of sexual desire, and his heightened emotions have persisted.
And while all pain associated with his breasts has disappeared, the tissue unfortunately remains swollen, a consequence of fibrotic tissue changes that take place with long-term gynecomastia. Although Price remains self-conscious about it, he's reluctant to try the only cure—cosmetic surgical reduction. There are too many risks, he says—bleeding, infection, problems with anesthesia—to justify going under the knife at this point in his life.
As for other men who might one day develop a similar problem, Price's advice is unequivocal: Go to your doctor at the first sign of pain or swelling. Symptoms caught and treated early are often reversible.
Price also acknowledges that his body may have an above-average sensitivity to soy's phytoestrogens. Still, his experiences have taught him that the foods we eat are not always what we think they are. Soy protein today is an ubiquitous, profitable, and often buried ingredient in a bewildering number of packaged foods. More than most people, Price was doing his best to avoid it. But he was still tripped up.
"In today's supermarkets," he says, his voice weary, "you can't hardly get anything without at least some soy in it."

We consider the problem of maximizing the lifetime of a given multicast connection in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) that use omnidirectional antennas and have limited energy resources. Unlike most multicast algorithms that use centralized greedy algorithms to achieve maximum lifetime in static ad hoc networks, we present two distributed multicast algorithms, i.e., basic energy-efficient multicast (BEEM) and distributed maximum lifetime multicast (DMLM), for the same optimization problem in MANETs. Our distributed algorithms also explore the localized operations to take advantage of the power saving offered by the wireless multicast advantage property in mobile networks. The extensive simulation results have shown that our DMLM algorithm outperforms other proposals in terms of multicast lifetime under different node mobilities.

All lanes of Interstate 70 were back open Thursday morning near Genesee after a semi-truck crash that killed one person.
The accident happened about 6:30 Wednesday night near the Lookout Mountain exit along eastbound I-70, when a truck driver hauling a drilling mud material lost control of the semi.
Colorado State Patrol Trooper Ryan Sullivan says the truck simply went out of control, and the driver -- unable to stop -- ended up rolling the entire rig, which then exploded.
The driver was killed. His name has not been released.
Truck driver Chris Cowan says he thinks the truck "flew" by him right before the crash, and says he could tell the driver was in trouble.
Westbound lanes of I-70 reopened about two hours after the crash, but eastbound lanes remained closed all night -- and reopened early this morning.

Italian Violins
Abele Naldi Violin, Milan 1968
This is a lovely violin by 20th century Milanese maker Abele Naldi. It's unmistakably Italian in conception, just on the artistic side of brash, very individual in model and execution. The spruce used for the front is exceptional – very regular closely spaced grain, probably the same wood that Naldi used for guitars – and the back and ribs are made from wood with a spectacular quilted figure, possibly pearwood. More details
An Italian Violin of the Politi School, Rome circa 1910
This is a great modern Italian violin, full of personality and with a great sound. Probably made in the Politi shop, it also owes something to the Scarampella style – knowingly rustic, and harking back to a much earlier tradition. It's a very distinctive instrument with big broad edges, a wide-grained front, 2-piece but not bookmatched, and a deep brown oil varnish. More details
Bisiach Workshop Violin, Milan circa 1925
This is an exceptional Italian violin from the early 20th century. The Bisiach shop was a gathering point for some great and talented makers – the Antoniazzi family, Gaetano Sgarobotto and many others. Along with the 'new build' instruments which received a Bisaich label (even if no Bisiach had a hand in the making), the shop produced fine antiqued instruments, many of which were sold or passed off as originals. This is a perfect example, broadly an attempt at a Guadagnini, and in some ways very credible. More details
Constantino Celani Violin, Ascoli Piceno 1900
Constantino and Emidio or Emilio Celani (Il Turco) were brothers making a wide range of musical instruments in the Marche region of West Central Italy. Although their work is not particularly refined, they used excellent and successful models, and the materials are always good. This violin has a beautifully flamed back and scroll made from local maple, and a rich oil varnish over a golden ground. The purfling is hand made, the blacks being dyed hardwood rather than ebony. More details
Giuseppe Baldantoni Violin, Ancona circa 1840
This is an outstanding example of Baldantoni's work in near perfect condition. It also has a powerful and sophisticated sound suitable for a demanding soloist. A leading maker of the Central Italian school, Baldantoni followed a broadly Stradivari model with slightly flattened arches. His instruments tend to be very successful tonally with great projection.

Research Projects
This is a list of research projects that may have opportunities for undergraduate students. You can browse all the projects, or view only projects in the following categories:
Contaminant transport in streams and rivers: streambeds, biofilms and water quality.
|Research categories:
|Agricultural, Computational/Mathematical, Environmental Science
|Civil Engineering
|Antoine Aubeneau
|Preferred major(s):
|Civil Eng (Env. or Hydro area), EEE, EAPS, ABE, Forestry and Nat. Res., College of Agriculture (in general)
|Number of positions:
Streams transport the products of erosion and weathering, as well as anthropogenic materials collected from industrial, agricultural and urban environments. While waterways are efficient transport networks, they are also important biogeochemical filters . Streams are known to efficiently retain and transform organic and inorganic nutrients. Microbial biofilms at the sediment-water interface purify the flowing freshwater. Streams are complex heterogeneous systems characterized by a tight coupling between the physical and biological template they inundate. This project will shed light on how dissolved chemical species move through riverbed sediments and their associated biofilms, with a focus on the nitrogen cycle and nitrate pollutions. Eutrophication of freshwater caused by fertilizers is a major societal issue. High loads of plant food lead to periodic oxygen depletion in receiving water bodies, causing major ecological and economical disasters. This project will inform sustainable management of water resources by providing a physically based explanation for the transport of solutes. The SURF students will work in the laboratory and/or in the field and they will acquire the hands on skills needed to complete a research project.
Design and Testing of a Novel Concept for Variable Flow Pumps
|Research categories:
|Agricultural, Aerospace Engineering, Material Science and Engineering, Mechanical Systems
|Ag & Bio Eng. / Mech. Eng.
|Andrea Vacca
|Preferred major(s):
|Mechanical, Ag and Bio, Aerospace, Material Engineering
|Desired experience:
|CAD modeling / fluid mechanics / fluid power / labview
|Number of positions:
The present project is aimed at realizing a prototype of a novel concept of pumps. The novel concept consists in realizing a variable flow regulation using the principle of external gear machines. The novel concept guarantees higher energy efficiency of the overall hydraulic system.
The student's contribution within this project will be the design of an actual prototype of the new concept, suitable to operate at a level of delivery pressure up to 10 bar. On the basis of fluid-dynamic simulation results, the student will design all internal parts and follow the manufacturing process. In the final period of the project, it is expected an experimental activity aimed at verifying the expected pump performance on a research test rig utilizing existing facilities at the Maha Fluid Power Research Center of Purdue.
Experimental testing and validation of P-band bistatic remote sensing of soil moisture
|Research categories:
|Agricultural, Aerospace Engineering, Electronics, Environmental Science, Physical Science
|James Garrison
|Preferred major(s):
|Electrical engineering, physics, aerospace engineering
|Desired experience:
|Basic signal processing, linear systems. Experience in working with electronic equipment and computer programming. Some knowledge of statistics helpful.
|Number of positions:
This activity is part of a larger research project, funded under the NASA Instrument Incubator Program, to develop and test a prototype for a new instrument for the remote sensing of sub-surface, or "root-zone" soil moisture. This is an important quantity to measure for our understanding of the water cycle and for practical applications in agricultural forecasting. The innovative technology in this instrument, is the use of "signals of opportunity" (SoOp's), which are reflections of communication satellite transmissions. In contrast to active radar remote sensing, a SoOp instrument will be much smaller and lower power, as it does not need an transmitter. SoOp also allows measurements to be made in frequency bands that are not protected for scientific use, essentially making the entire microwave spectrum available for remote sensing.
In this particular application, we will use communication signals in P-band (230-270 MHz), which can penetrate the soil to several decimeters. For comparison, satellite instruments today operate in L-band which has a penetration depth of ~5 cm.
On this project, a SURF student would learn the fundamental physical models, apply them in simulations, to predict the sensitivity of the P-band reflectivity to soil moisture variation and instrument calibration. The student would also assist in assembling instrumentation for ground experimentation, processing the data and interpreting the results.
Students should have some experience with electronic equipment and computer programming, and know basic signal processing and linear systems. An interest in Earth and environmental sciences is desirable.
Exploring the feedbacks in coupled natural and human systems in response to extreme events using Urban Metabolism Framework
|Research categories:
|Agricultural, Civil and Construction, Computational/Mathematical, Environmental Science
|Shweta Singh; David Yu (CE)
|Preferred major(s):
|Ag and Biological Engineering, Civil Engineering, Forestry and Natural Sciences, Environmental Engineering and Science
|Desired experience:
|Land Use Change, Basic Statistics, Food Systems
|Number of positions:
This is a highly interdisciplinary project cutting across 3 departments and there will be 3 major professors advising the student (Prof Shweta Singh, Prof David Yu and Prof Brady Hardiman). The project will involve literature search, data collection and some mathematical modeling. The details of the project is as follows :
Natural and man-made catastrophes such as severe drought, flood, nuclear disasters, etc. have a severe impact on production of food and food system infrastructure. This may lead to shift in consumption patterns and procuring patterns (such as local farming, urban gardens, etc.) to develop resilience to these extreme events. The goal of this work is identify and quantify the extent of changes in urban metabolism (UM) in response to these events and consequent impact on natural systems; thus exploring the feedback in the coupled natural and human systems (CNHs) in response to extreme events. Specific research questions to be addressed in this SURF projects are:
1. How has urban metabolism changed in response to particular extreme events (drought, flood, tornadoes, infrastructure failures, etc.)? What are exemplary cases of such events and regions?
2. What are short-term and long-term consequences of social adaptations to such extreme events on urban metabolism? Do short-term adaptations lead to unforeseen vulnerabilities of CNHs to different extreme events in the long-run?
3. Did "land use" and local ecosystem change in response to change in Urban metabolism change? (Such as development of backyard farming, local waste to energy, waste generation and disposal)
Research Approach
The summer research will focus on data collection and analysis with respect to these questions. This is a collaborative project between Ag. & Biological Engineering, Civil Engineering, Political Science, Forestry and Natural Resources and Environmental & Ecological Engineering. The project is in collaboration with Professors Shweta Singh, David Yu and Brady Hardiman and the SURF student will be jointly advised by all three.
Data Collection: Student will be expected to collect data for respective urban metabolism variables identified relevant to specific extreme event and also data on land use change for the defined region where there was significant impact of extreme events on urban metabolism.
1. A life cycle approach will be used to study the impact of extreme events on change in UM variable. Professor Shweta Singh will advise the student on quantifying the dependence of the local consumption to production in "distant location". This will then help relate the potential impact on local food consumption change to production change in other areas. This will be done using an Input-Output model or FAO data. Alternatively, the student will be expected to collect data on consumption pattern change in a local region based on extreme event time map. Specific commodity of consumption that are most effected by extreme events will be targeted.
2. Collect data related to how social systems adapt in response to extreme events and how such social adaptations alter urban metabolism in the long-run. Explore how such changes in urban metabolism affect the capacity of cities to cope with different kinds of disturbances. The data collected will be used to construct systems models to explore the resilience of urban CNHs to unforeseen disturbances.
3. Calculate nitrogen content of food products and waste cycled through urban metabolic processes. Determine origin and destination of this nitrogen content and compare to estimated baseline ('natural') ecosystem nitrogen pools and fluxes. Quantify potential land use change associated with extreme events which prompt changes in behavior and urban metabolism.
Measurement of greenhouse gas emissions from maize canopies
|Research categories:
|Agricultural, Environmental Science, Physical Science
|Richard Grant
|Preferred major(s):
|applied meteorology, meteorology, chemistry
|Desired experience:
|Willingness to work day or night
|Number of positions:
Measure CO2 and N2O emissions from several maize fields at West Lafayette, IN using state-of-the-art instrumentation. This project is in collaboration with crop systems scientists and soil chemistry scientists.
The student will be involved in the measurement and analysis of CO2 and N2O measurements and their coupling with wind measurements to determine gas emissions. These emissions will then be related to the weather and soil conditions to determine the driving variables in emissions.
Microbes in the Air: Dynamics of Airborne Bacteria, Fungi & Pollen in a Living Laboratory
|Research categories:
|Agricultural, Bioscience/Biomedical, Chemical, Civil and Construction, Environmental Science, Life Science, Mechanical Systems, Nanotechnology, Physical Science
|Civil Engineering
|Brandon Boor
|Preferred major(s):
|I am recruiting students from all engineering and science majors
|Desired experience:
|Some experience with MATLAB and programming is preferred.
|Number of positions:
Our homes and offices are home to trillions of microorganisms, including diverse communities of bacteria and fungi. My research group explores the dynamics of airborne microorganisms, or bioaerosols, in buildings. These are incredibly small airborne particles, less than 10 micrometers in size - one-tenth the thickness of your hair! Bioaerosols can be released from our bodies, stirred-up from house dust, and can flow into buildings from the outside via ventilation. By developing a deeper understanding of the emissions, transport, and control of bioaerosols, we can work towards buildings that promote healthy microbial communities.
In this project, you will use our state-of-the-art research facilities to measure, in real-time, concentrations of bioaerosols in a living laboratory (occupied office) at Herrick Laboratories in Discovery Park. You will learn how to develop an experimental plan, conduct air quality measurements, and analyze bioaerosol data. Most importantly, the data you collect will help us learn how people, and the buildings in which we live, influence the behavior of these tiny airborne particles. The project is very well-suited for anyone interested in microbiology, air quality, human health, HVAC systems, or atmospheric science.

I found an incompatibility with latest jquery masonry 3.0.0. in wordpress themes.
The Price filter slider doesn't appear, but 2 input boxes are present instead.
Woocomerce works with old version 2.1.03 of masonry, which one is sometimes bugged with posts positions alignment.
As next themes will use v 3.0.0., I suppose it would be interesting to make Woocommerce compatible with it.

2nd man charged in fatal ATV crashSeptember 18,2013The Associated Press
HINESBURG - A second Vermont man has been accused of providing alcohol to a teenager who was killed in an ATV crash in May.
Police say 27-year-old Patrick Poon of Williston bought alcohol for Clinton Norris, a 16-year-old Champlain Valley Union High School student. Norris was later found unconscious about a half-mile from his home in Hinesburg after taking out the ATV for a drive. He was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
Last week, 27-year-old Kent Richland of Shelburne was accused of providing alcohol to Norris. Richland said he is innocent.

Description: Hey everyone, been putting together a 65 pan, my first, and don't know what this oil line is for
Hey everyone, been putting together a 65 pan, my first, and don't know what this oil line is for. It's at the bottom of the right side of the case and inboard of the oil pump. Guy at the dealer told me to plug it, doesn't sound right to me. Is this the line that dumps oil if your oil pump check valve is leaking (sumping)? I learned about that here, you guys have been a big help, appreciate any info on this. By the way, my Clymers manual is no help here, no oil diagrams.
Post by fourthgear on Sept 19, 2006, 5:03pm
Sounds like the vent/breather line to the oil tank and since you have a 65 (electric start w/ alum. primary)there should be a " T " fitting in there that branches from that vent /breather line to a nipple on the inner primary( middle of inner primary), hoses are used to connect them all . Unless you are running a belt drive or closed and filled primary , I would not plug the vent line , it is supposed to help the oiling and scavenging of the primary chain drive system, not to mention venting of the motor.
Post by 65 Eric on Sept 19, 2006, 6:06pm
Thanks Fourthgear, I forgot to mention I installed an open belt, it had a wet clutch before. Should I run a hose to ground?
Post by Cotten on Sept 20, 2006, 1:33pm
I believe that the line that you refer to is indeed the oil return from the bottom rear of the primary case.
(The breather is a simple 3/8" metal downtube aimed at the ground, and is tapped into the cast-in breather gallery on the flywheel portion of the case with a large fitting that is captured upon the tube.)
The nipple fitting for the return line is a very long one, as it is difficult to install a short fitting behind the pump. The usual way to plug the line is to tap the end of this long fitting for a set screw.
Post by 65 Eric on Sept 20, 2006, 3:44pm
Thank you Cotten and Fourthgear, it is a long 3/8 tube captured in a 3/4 fitting. The tube itself must seal against a seat in the case. I'll use a fine thread set screw of the appropriate size. This site is amazing, (thanks Panhead) there must be over a thousand years of combined experience here. Don't know a lot about Panheads (yet) but if I can help anyone with machining issues (been a Toolmaker for a few decades) feel free to ask.

Fourthgear, I'll try to get a pic, but I think Eric is asking about the vent line from the case to the oil tank. (upper fitting next to oil pump) The lower fitting would be the breather vent which on mine has a small filter attached.

text: noone said it would be quick, but if you spend a bit of time breeding better pokes, you'll save stacks of time since you wont keep losing to things you should never have lost to. i mean not to be rude, but if your garchomp cannot OHKO an electivire, then you will have difficulty getting very far. hehe luck certainly plays a part no matter what. but i know in emerald i tried open level for months, then decided to give level 50 a try (battles 1-21 had such easier pokes) and literally got the gold symbol on the first try. congrats on the great streak, and commiserations on just missing out on facing the brain. oh no, that is just purely my own perspective on the battle. even if it got 5 crits on silver wind, registeel would have still been alive or maybe KO'd on the last one at which point salamence gets at least 2-3 DD's and a sub. that is normally enough, but as this particular battle turned out it would have been a guaranted win against the rampardos and electivire. so frustrating how one single bad idea can lead to the end of a good streak - i would have been so happy to have discovered it in battle 50. i havent done heaps of rng stuff in the 4th gen apart from breeding, but when i first learned it in emerald, i found it incredibly fun just because of the simple fact that if you follow a few steps correctly, you get great pokemon :) but you're certainly right that theres no reason to expect anything to be fast. but compared to the weeks i spent breeding some of my older pokes from scratch with single-31 ditto's, rng-abuse is a walk in the park - you know you will get it if you keep at it. well, registeel does an amazing job - since it has more resistences than salamence, it probably wins about 80% of my battles. so i could imagine a slow 3rd poke doing a good job as its partner as long as you can find someone suitable for the job. but then again, you said "without setup" so maybe you dont want to use registeel? also, i imagine youre not planning on using a trick lead in this team? my salamence + blissey + milotic/suicune teams have done reasonably well (nowhere near 313) and, apart from salamence, none of them would be described as fast, but they're not at all sweepers really (apart from maybe suicune with calm mind, but you dont want stat up moves). nice streak - did it take you many tries to get it? i imagine it must have because i can think of too many scenarios that would beat your team easily. to get a long way, you would have had to have a run that was pretty devoid of the situations (or you needed some luck to get around them). second pokemon is faster than articuno and KO's the sub while you use mind reader, then finishes you before you can use sheer cold. it's then swampert vs pokemon 2 and the mystery 3rd poke. certainly no guarantee of a win. second pokemon is slower, but still breaks the sub on the mind-reader-turn before you KO it with sheer cold next turn. then the third poke can beat articuno and swampert - eg cradilly who has stab moves that both your guys are 4x weak to. (i know articuno can prob stall out stone edge with sub then roost of damage, but there'd be other things.) swampert gets fully set up against their lead, and then pokemon 2 has a special grass move. swampert has to switch out of course, but theres no guarantee articuno can beat it. substitute would be a good move for your swampert to have, since in such a situation you could at least hopefully OHKO them with +6 waterfall as they break your sub, and then you'll be facing the 3rd poke naked. faster things that can put you to sleep before you sub. hax in general (QC OHKO'ers for example). i know clever switching can help eliminate some of these risks but you will certainly need an element of luck. moves like stone edge are often chosen at random even if they are not the most logical, so you could switch articuno in to take a grass move from cradilly and then get hit by an unexpected stone edge. dont get me wrong, im not saying anything bad about you or your team - im actually really impressed you got so far with it, seeing as it is a bit different from the standards these days. this is not a 99.999% guaranteed win team, so i think 198 is about as awesome an achievement as i think could be possible with it.

Good Serta Mattress Set
Mattress set is good for a small space. Quality is average according to the price. I recommend the extra height. I purchased a lower set and realize I like more height in a mattress. It sleeps very well.Read More
Great value
I visited a local bed store and could not find this specific mattress to test it out. At the store, I tested their cheapest FULL size Serta mattress (about $375 with box spring+ tax, np delivery) and it was terrible, too soft, too thin, junk. The sales person said they only kept that one in the store to show customers what you get for that price. Next I tried the second lowest price full mattress (about $500 with box springs + tax, n delivery) and it felt nice. Being frugal, I took the chance and ordered this Serta Revival full from Overstock, with a low profile box spring (included). It took about 3 weeks to get here. We live in a remote area in the Rocky Mountains. A "white glove" delivery service brought the mattress into the bedroom, removed the packaging, and placed the mattress set where we needed it (really helpful when I have a herniated back and cannot lift up anything heavy). They were friendly and efficient, and even took the packaging with them, leaving me no trash. Some folks complain about the time it takes to deliver the product, yet OS says it takes 2-4 weeks, so folks shouldn't complain, its free! The mattress store was going to charge me $50 for delivery! The mattress is firm, as described, yet comfortable. I use it with a $25 Serta Mattress pad I purchased elsewhere. I love the option of standard or low profile boxspring. Even though there are more comfortable mattresses out there, you would have to pay 75% + more for them. I am very happy with my purchase. It cost me $3** (for a FULL size, same model), free shipping, no tax; great deal! The only thing I would change is to have OS show the photo of the actual product. The photo shows the pillowtop Revival model, while the one I purchased was not just a firm, non pillow top. It looks very similar, yet why not just show the actual product. Still, 5 stars, great value.Read More

We bought this mattress set for the twin bed in one of our guest rooms. It is a nice, deep mattress with a good level of support. We have not had any guests yet but have both napped on the bed and felt it was very comfortable. I am not sure if it would be ideal for an everyday bed for people who like a lot of support. However, for our purposes as an occassional bed...it is perfect.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello bisou212, a low profile foundation is approximately 6 inches high. A standard foundation is approximately 9 inches high. I hope this helps and thank you for shopping with us.
Why did you choose this product?
wanted a firm mattress from a trusted mattress brand name with cushioned support on the top
white glove, good price and reviews
I moved and it was time to purchase another mattress set.
Do I need to purchase a separate frame to place the mattress on or does the foundation include legs as some of the others show?
Hello crystalhfurr, this item is the mattress and box spring (also known as a foundation). It does not include a frame to support the box spring and mattress. Thanks for shopping with us!
The description shows that you have a 30-day comfort guarantee, and can return it within that time for a refund, less restocking fee. BUT the OS return policy states that you can't unless you refuse delivery and it has to be "unopened" --- which is correct? This is super important when trying to buy an item like this online. Thanks!
Hello shopper, serta mattresses offer a 30-day Comfort guarantee but they do charge a restocking fee. Thanks for shopping with us!
Hi there Is the headboard included in the set? If not, do you sell suitable headboards?
Hello steve1984, this is a mattress and foundation. You will need a bed frame and a headboard if you would like to use one. Here is a link to several, of course you will need to choose a size to narrow down your search. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Beds/2013/subcat.html?TID=TN:Furn:Beds Thank you for shopping with us.

Is this white glove delivery? If I order a bed frame will they put it together and set up the bed and box spring?
I received white glove delivery with my purchase. I already had bed frames set up and they place mattress on frame.
will they take the old box spring and mattress with no additional charges?
Can this mattress be flipped or is it just one sided?
Hello becci57, thank you for your inquiry! This mattress is only one sided. We apologize about the inconvenience. I hope this helps. Happy shopping!
What is the difference between the two options?
Thank you for your question. One option would be the high profile and the other would be a low profile. The Foundation is either 9 inches high or a 9 inches low profile. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Have a great day!
You have a mattress buying guide that mentions coil gauge and count, but do not include in the product details. What is the gauge and coil count for this mattress?

text: ALTON -- "Friends of the Alton R-1V School", a citizens' committee formed to promote passage of the Qualified Zone Academy Bond issue, said recently they are nearing completion of their voter registration drive. More than 300 contacts have been made with what committee members said are many potential voters declaring their intent to register to vote.The bond issue commonly known as QZAB will be on the Aug. 6 primary election ballot for the Alton School District. This is a federally funded program which would allow the school to obtain a loan of $1 million interest free for a period of 14 years. No payments on the principal are required until the end of the 14 years. This means that the tax money collected can be deposited in an interest bearing account, and it is estimated the school district will earn about $180,000 interest on this money over the 14 years. This $180,000 will be applied toward the principal leaving $820,000 to be paid by Alton School District patrons tax money. This issue will require a 23--cent levy increase or an increase of $21.85 per year for a person or family that owns a $50,000 home. The tax on a $50,000 farm would increase by $13.80 per year. Committee members said senior citizens and disabled persons on fixed incomes for whom this increase might be a burden may qualify for a property tax refund through the Circuit Breaker provision. Senior residents interested in this program can learn more about it at the Alton Senior Citizen Center or by calling Alton Superintendent of Schools Sheila Wheeler.Committee members said this money can only be used for renovation, repair or maintenance on existing school buildings or facilities. If the bond issue is passed the money will be used for renovations including: ADA requirements; new roofs for all buildings; brick work on buildings; renovation and maintenance on outer buildings (auto mechanics/bus shed, vo-ag,. ITE, and band building); new heating and and air conditioning units; structural work on high school cafeteria walls; pave parking lot; lights and permanent bleachers at baseball field; and new lockers. All of the money will be used to make improvements to the facilities until the entire amount is spent.Friends of Alton R-IV School said they are excited about the benefits this measure can bring for their children, school and community. A drive to contact every voter in person or by telephone prior to the election has begun."Our goal is to provide complete and accurate information so voters can make an informed decision. As part of that effort committee representatives met with senior citizens and the Alton Senior Citizen Center. Public information meetings are also scheduled to be held at the Thomasville Community Center July 18, at the Rover Community Building July 29, and at the BB Road Community Center July 30," the committee member said.All meetings will begin at 7 p.m. Representatives of the committee and the school board as well as Superintendent Wheeler will be on hand to answer questions. Committee members said they urge all voters to attend one of these meetings to learn more about the issue, and then give careful consideration and vote Aug. 6.Wheeler said she would be glad to answer any questions regarding the issue. Her phone number at the school is 778-7216.

HONOLULU, Hawaii - Taking a break from the fiscal cliff negotiations, President Obama is spending the first day of his holiday vacation golfing with friends and aides, including longtime pal Bobby Titcomb, who was arrested last year on suspicion of soliciting a prostitute.
Hey Donny, isn't it a little early to be drinking on Sunday?
Your post certainly indicated your uncanny ability to focus on the collateral items (golf, soliciting a prostitute, enjoying the Hawaiian sunshine) rather than on the fiscal cliff.
What is your point? Johnny #$%$ can't get Pauli and his tee potty ideologs into the real world; he can't command his majority caucus. He could easily get a compromise with Nancy and a few donkeys, but he is strictly a partisan preek. There is no legislative leadership that is dependable or productive in the Party of NO in the US House of Reps.
Hussein is supposedly dealing (more like surrendering when he went from the $250k to the $400k tax rise line), but he doesn't have a reliable partner in negotiations who can deliver what any resolution might be. That weak reed in the US Senate is incapable of leading and Mitch and his merry band of Grover Norquistians might filibuster any deal that has a tax increase for the very rich.
So......off the fiscal cliff we go due to a deadlocked Congress and no leadership anywhere. All IMHO.

1. Introduction
[2] Satellite-based remote sensing plays a vital role in gaining a good knowledge and understanding of global aerosol variations and interaction with the Earth's climate [Kaufman et al., 2002]. While satellite data have long been employed for aerosol studies, major challenges still confront us in almost every step of the retrieval process, namely, sensor calibration, cloud screening, corrections for surface reflectivity and variability of aerosol properties (size distribution, refractive index, etc.) [King et al., 1999]. Consequently, significant differences exist among various aerosol products generated from the AVHRR [Stowe et al., 1997; Higurashi and Nakajima, 1999; Mishchenko et al., 1999; Ignatov and Stowe, 2002a; Ignatov et al., 2004], the MODIS [Tanré et al., 1997; Kaufman et al., 1997; Remer et al., 2005], the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) [Herman et al., 1997; Torres et al., 1998, 2002], the Polarization and Directionality of the Earth's Reflectances (POLDER) instrument [Goloub et al., 1999; Deuzé et al., 2000], and the Multiangle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) [Kahn et al., 1998, 2001], etc. Myhre et al. [2004] compared a large number of global aerosol products and revealed the general features of agreement and discrepancies, but insights into the causes for the discrepancies were lacking and the state-of-the-art aerosol product from the MODIS was excluded from their work.
[3] This study conducts a more detailed comparison of aerosol products over oceans from two prominent sensors: MODIS and AVHRR [Tanré et al., 1997; Mishchenko et al., 1999]. Possessing the longest satellite record, AVHRR data have been employed in studying long-term variations of atmospheric aerosols [Mishchenko et al., 2003]. Using various retrieval algorithms, aerosol optical thickness (AOT) was inferred from reflectances measured at a single channel [Rao et al., 1989; Stowe et al., 1997; Ignatov et al., 2004], and at multiple channels [e.g., Higurashi and Nakajima, 1999; Mishchenko et al., 1999; Ignatov and Stowe, 2002a]. In some algorithms, an additional parameter (often the Ångström exponent) was also estimated. So far, all global aerosol products generated from the AVHRR have been confined to oceans primarily due to difficulties in separating aerosol signals from those from land surfaces of high reflectivity [King et al., 1999]. Taking advantage of a unique relationship between reflectances at longer and shorter wavelengths available from the MODIS, Kaufman et al. [1997] proposed a method that extends the retrieval of the AOT over the majority of land areas except over bright desert or barren land. Note that a different algorithm was used to retrieve the AOT over oceans [Tanré et al., 1997]. Validations of the MODIS AOT retrievals against ground-based Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) [Holben et al., 1998, 2001] observations showed good accuracies over both oceans and land [Remer et al., 2002; Chu et al., 2002].
[4] In addition to the AOT, the Ångström exponent (α) [Ångström, 1929, 1964] has been widely used for various applications by virtue of its relationship to aerosol size. For instance, α is used for interpolation (or extrapolation) of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) at a certain wavelength [e.g., Kinne et al., 2001; Myhre et al., 2004] and is used as a proxy of particle size when direct measurements of aerosol particle size (effective, mean or mode radius, etc.) are not available [Chou et al., 2002; Sakerin and Kabanov, 2002; Moorthy et al., 2003]. Nakajima et al. [2001] used α to study the aerosol indirect effect which is defined as the radiative forcing associated with the modification of cloud microphysics due to aerosols [Twomey et al., 1984; Coakley et al., 1987; Charlson et al., 1992]. Note that α depends on the wavelengths for which it is derived.
[5] Retrievals of AOT and α are affected by aerosol size distributions and optical properties. Numerous studies reported diverse optical and physical properties of aerosols [e.g., O'Neill et al., 2002; Dubovik et al., 2002; Eck et al., 2003]. The treatment of aerosol size distributions and optical properties in aerosol retrieval algorithms is generally poor and varies from one algorithm to another. Inherent discrepancies are thus incurred between different aerosol products, which should be well understood and quantified before attributing the discrepancies to factors that are not readily verified such as cloud screening. The choice of aerosol models on retrieved AOT was deemed to be small (less than 10%) by Geogdzhayev et al. [2002] whose choice of aerosol models was not as diverse as those employed in the MODIS retrieval though. Chylek et al. [2003] found that the uncertainties in aerosol parameters such as refractive index and aerosol shape have large effects on the phase function at large scattering angles (greater than 100 degrees). As satellite aerosol retrievals are typically performed at such large scattering angles, the impact of aerosol model choice is expected to be significant.
[6] The objective of this study is to understand and quantify the uncertainties and discrepancies in the AOT and the α derived from the MODIS [Tanré et al., 1997] and the AVHRR [Mishchenko et al., 1999; Geogdzhayev et al., 2002] with more focus on the possible effects of aerosol model difference. In a companion paper [Jeong and Li, 2005], other factors affecting the aerosol retrievals were also investigated. In section 2, the aerosol products used are briefly described. Section 3 presents the comparisons of the AOT derived from the MODIS and the AVHRR and investigations of their discrepancies. Similar studies but for α and its relation to aerosol effective radius are given in section 4. The summary and conclusive remarks are provided in section 5.

Dec 31, 2014Found this movie on Netflix and kind of assumed that it would be about Roger Bannister. It's not. That's what I get for not reading the description. I kept watching anyway, waiting for something original that wasn't hackneyed and cliched. Full of plot hole and character actions that don't seem to make any sense. Should have gone for a jog instead.
Engaging performances by the principal players, including Richard Jenkins as a legendary coach beset by personal demons, are almost enough to win the day, but in the end, the cliched narrative is too slight to put the picture over the finish line.
4 Minute Mile is efficient in its storytelling — which is fitting, given that it's about a sprinter — and Jenkins and Blatz have solid chemistry with each other.
