We will generate translationally essential information on the process of ?-cell differentiation from progenitor cells, targeting a major outstanding issue: what stimuli and culture conditions to employ to produce mature ?-cells in vitro. Our team will focus solely on the tissue source of all ?-cell progenitors: the trunk domain epithelium of mid-pancreas organogenesis. The spatiotemporally orchestrated signaling networks and cellular division/migration processes that control ?-cell birth/maturation are very poorly defined. But, cell-autonomous and non-autonomous programs that give rise to mature b cells must work within the constraints of a defined epithelial structure, with its tightly linked morphogenetic program that produces the large numbers of budded, mature islets. We will perform a high-resolution structural and cell biological analysis of endocrine progenitor locations, cell-cell organization and signaling, and their behavior in yielding differentiating ?-cell progeny or remaining as cycling endocrine-biased cells within the epithelium. We will: (1) Define how the epithelial structure provides signaling niches that control the location, number and behavior of endocrine-biased progenitors. (2) Define how asymmetric division yields pro-endocrine precursors and endocrine-committed progeny. (3) Characterize the directional delamination of pro-endocrine cells and their progression to ?-cell or other endocrine types. (4) Localize intermediates marked by cell-instructive factors, and determine cell-autonomous and cell-non-autonomous effects. (5) Use mutational analysis and lineage tracing to detail the intraepithelial organization and signaling processes involved. (6) Perform gene expression profiling of selected cell populations in normal and perturbed situations to provide an unprecedented understanding of the gene regulatory networks involved, plus new insights into markers of critical transitional cell states. (7) Map new monoclonal antibodies from the BCBC cell-surface-marker project onto this framework, providing new tools for identifying/sorting progenitor-progeny states in differentiating hESC. (8) Test directly the functional information emerging from our studies as ?-cell formation/maturation stimuli on human ES cell (hESC) differentiating in vitro. Such a spatiotemporally resolved 'normal differentiation framework'will shed light on deficiencies in hESC differentiation protocols. In vitro hESC-derived ?-cells are immature and low in number, while partly differentiated, propancreatic cell clusters produce functional ?-cells on maturation in mice: we hypothesize that the in vitro deficit reflects an inability to build proper communication and progenitor qualities. We designed our project to integrate with and complement studies of other BCBC teams on hESC differentiation and endocrine progenitor identification. The team's pedigree in lineage analysis, cell biology and progenitor control, longevity and strong intra-BCBC interactions, led to our sharply defined common interest in epithelial endocrine progenitors. Novel tools, reagents, data sets will be shared with all BCBC members.

As per Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:HST) statement on 2016-09-15, it will disburse $0.2 per share in dividend. Record date is 2016-09-30, the payout date is 2016-10-17 and the ex-dividend date is 2016-09-28.
Investors often massively underestimate or largely oversee the consequence of dividends to constructive stock market investing. Many stakeholders view payments as just a little extra linked with acquiring stocks. Though, dividends source a big chunk of the incomes from equity investments. Besides, they offer shareholders with preservation of the purchasing power and market risk protection. Disbursements also offer an excellent platform of assessment in the process of selecting stocks for bringing in an equity portfolio.
Over the many years, disbursements have given almost 50% of the street returns on investment. The index, S&P 500 performance in the past half century, when added disbursements, is nearly twice of S&P 500 return performance, when excluded disbursements. The outlook of increasing the overall ROI is pleasing to any shareholder. Yet, many stockholders are simply unaware of the point that disbursements play a vibrant role in their overall return.
In FY2015 Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:HST) disbursed dividend of $0.2. A year ago, it was $0.2, showing a difference of 6.6667%. The mean dividend, as known by 5 years record, is $0.2, implying growth of 82.0564%.
For the period ended on 2015-12-31, Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:HST)'s earnings came at $0.49 per share against EPS of $0.34 a year ago. Shareholders will be able to recognize about financials for quarter closing 2016-09-30 on or around 2016-11-02. The EPS estimate is $0.37.
The provisional target price for Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:HST) is set at $16.583, a consensus price outlook of 12 calls.

CBSBB mentor Linda, a digital media representative, has been matched for a year with her "Little" Jo, who is a junior in high school. They both say they were surprised at how fast they clicked and connected. That might just be because both Linda and Jo are open, relaxed and ready for new adventures. They have enjoyed riding tandem bikes in Central Park and going swimming and they plan to try yoga, laser tag and volunteering at a soup kitchen. Between outings, they keep in touch with phone calls and texts.
A mentoring match doesn't operate in isolation. Each match is supported by CBSBB's Mentoring Coordinators, who check in with both the Big and the Little and the Littles' family, to make sure things are going smoothly. And sometimes the mentor gets to know the Little's family. One mentor, Linda, a digital media representative, visited the family of her Little, Jo, for brunch. Later, Jo's mother Edo shared some thoughts with Jess Jardine, the match's Mentoring Coordinator. "Linda is so relaxed and easy-going," said Edo. "Jo can continue to be herself with Linda. Linda doesn't judge; she makes Jo laugh. Jo has come to trust her, and has really opened up."
Edo went on to say that CBSBB has given Jo a community and a network that parents don't have access to. The mentoring relationship lets the kids know there are good people in the world who can be trusted. The experience can open up the world for them. It promotes healthy discussions and encourages their development and their dreams for the future. "When Linda came to brunch, she didn't seem like she was in a hurry to leave" said Edo, "she fit right in. Jo and I are so appreciative of Linda."
Matched for just a few months, Mentor, Darragh, and her Little, Andie's relationship has been blossoming into one full of fun and promise. Andie's favorite outing so far was participating in a community service day hosted by Cathedral High School. Their day consisted of activities to support homeless shelters in New York City, like assembling care packages and making blankets and bags. Both Darragh and Andie got pretty crafty when it came to making their blanket, and in the end they were proud of what they had created. According to Darragh, community service "gives both [a mentor and his/her little] an opportunity to connect with the broader community, but it also opens up new conversations with your Little."
With the help of our intern Hayley Redmond, CBSBB Mentoring staff researched and compiled a list of community service opportunities, organized by borough, so mentors could select one that was nearby the Little's home. CBSBB believes that just as each one of our mentees receive services, it is important for them to give back to the community. Volunteering allows our Littles to get involved with new things, develop skills that can't be learned in a classroom, and grow in confidence.
Asked if she would do it again, Big Sister Darragh said "Definitely!It was well run, we had fun but, more importantly, we were able to make a difference in the community!

When the time comes, why not buy a house and have your wedding in the
garden? I had about 80 people at my backyard wedding. My family and I
prepared all the food. It was a brunch, so the menu was simplier.
Listening to bird song while you take your vows is just perfect!
I hope your back alley works out. Kitty has got a good idea about limbing
up the trees. Maybe you could plant some shade loving plants there as well.
You could have your own secret garden!

Tim Willenken (Pittsburgh) - Virtue and Maximization
Abstract: In this paper, I argue that bearing maximizing practical dispositions is an all or nothing matter. By this I mean that an agent might rationally bear practical dispositions that lead him to maximize or minimize some feature of the world: the amount of suffering, say. She might also rationally bear only dispositions that are non-maximizing: the disposition never to kill, say. But she cannot rationally bear both types of practical disposition: if she does, she will be rationally compelled to revise her set of practical dispositions. Further, I argue that this result about practical rationality makes a certain traditional argument for consequentialism very strong indeed.
Andrew Bacon (Oxford) - Knowing-wh
Recently there has been a flux of interest in `knowledge-wh' reports ([2], [15]) as found in: `John knows where to buy newspapers' and `Jane knows who stole the cookies.' In this paper I assess some of these recent proposals, and note an ambiguity in knowledge-wh ascriptions, akin to the relational/notional ambiguity in intensional transitive verbs, which these proposals do not account for. In light of this, I offer my own análisis of knowing wh, in which the interrogative complement, `wh-F', denotes a generalised quanti¯er and `knows' a relation between an individual and such a quantifier. In particular, S knows wh-F at w i® S's knowledge fixes who the F is at w, i.e. (wh-F at w = wh-F at w') for all w' epistemically accessible to S from w (for simplicity, we give `wh' the semantics of `the'.) This analysis is then applied to a number of problems in philosophy including: the connection between objectual and propositional knowledge and other factive verbs, know how, concealed questions and Jackson's knowledge argument.
Daniel Morgan (Oxford) - "I"-states
I-states are mental states which are most naturally ascribed (by the subject whose states they are) through a sentence containing the first-person pronoun within the scope of an attitude verb. The most influential accounts of I-states have emphasized the distinctive relationship such states stand in to certain ways of gaining information and/or actions. In this paper, I do three things: I say what reason there is for thinking that some account of this basic sort is correct; I show that the best developed accounts of this sort (those provided by Gareth Evans, Francois Recanati and John Perry) faces serious problems, and I put forward an account (of the same sort) which avoids those problems. My account differs from Perrys in denying that there is any distinctive relationship in which all and only I-states stand to actions. It differs from Evanss and Recanatis in its characterization of the relationship between I-states and ways of gaining information. It differs from all three in focusing on a relationship that holds among different I-states. Not much attention has been paid to this relationship. It turns out though that no account which ignores it can be correct. One of the main contributions of this paper is to begin the work of describing that relationship.
Nigel Leary (Birmingham) - Natural Kinds: hold the (Metaphysically necessary) Essence
The externalism advocated by Kripke and Putnam about the reference of proper names and natural kind terms has implied that the truth of theoretical identifications, such as the claim that water is H2O, are, if true, necessarily so and knowable a posteriori. The focus of this paper is not claims about the semantics of natural kind terms, but rather the assumption that empirical sciences discover real essences, and the claim that the demarcation of natural kinds carves nature at its joints. The specific target in this paper is Brian Elliss contemporary essentialism, and the argument attempts to demonstrate 1) that his thesis is deeply suspect, 2) the connections between the motivation for Elliss essentialism and the essentialism advocated by Kripke and (early) Putnam, and 3) that the notion of metaphysical necessity (knowable a posteriori), for natural kind chemical compounds, is misleading, unnecessary and unmotivated. Furthermore, it argues that a proper understanding of the empirical sciences will push us towards either a version of promiscuous realism (Dupré, 1993) or constructive empiricism (van Frassen, 1980) but not, as Ellis believes, towards scientific essentialism. In conclusion it argues that natural kinds are, fundamentally, classifications of individuals into groups in virtue of certain similarities, and that the properties which make these individuals similar, that go on to form the basis of natural kind membership criteria, may well be, in and of themselves, independent of us, but as they relate to the formulation of membership criteria, presupposed before any empirical investigation, there is good reason to think that they are not (completely) objective, because although the properties of the individuals that constitute the kinds may be real and objective, the way they figure in natural kind discourse, and the demarcation of nature into kinds, is defined by the research interests of the discipline.

This paper proposes, defends, and applies the following constraint on knowability a priori (call it AK): for any sentence S expressing some proposition p, p is knowable a priori only if, for any linguistic presupposition q of S, q is knowable a priori. Four applications of this apparatus are attempted in the paper, as follows: (1) Because proper names bear existence presuppositions whose truth is not knowable a priori, AK gives the Millian a theory-independent reason for denying that it is knowable a priori that Cicero is Tully. (2) The solution proposed in (1) is roughly adaptable to a resolution of Freges Puzzle about the potential informativeness to an addressee of a speakers utterance of Cicero is Tully.
(3) Kripke famously gives an example of a contingent truth s that is knowable a priori. It turns out that s carries existence presuppositions whose truth is not knowable a priori. So AK entails that s is not knowable a priori. (4) Several philosophers have attempted to ground knowledge of logical truths on knowledge of the meanings of the sentential connectives. Their arguments entail that some logical truth l will presuppose that there is a meaning designated by the connective that makes l true. This observation, combined with AK, suggests a new way of formulating a standard objection to their arguments.
Dan Giberman (Stanford) - Gloppy Trope Bundles
Trope bundle theories are prima facie attractive given certain problems faced by competing theories of substance and properties. They are less mysterious and ontologically costly than substratum theories, and they do not share the strange commitments of immanent universal theories (according to which items can wholly exist at distances from themselves). But trope bundle theories are not without their detractors. The three most difficult problems facing any theory of trope bundles are the bundling problem, the trope-targeted companionship problem, and the trope-targeted imperfect community problem. The first is a general problem for bundle theories. The latter two are general problems for trope theories raised in a recent paper by David Manley. After introducing a novel conceptual scheme for understanding the metaphysics of minimal supervenience bases across possible worlds, I use it to describe a new kind of trope bundle theory. I then argue that this new trope bundle theory is equipped to solve the three aforementioned problems. If I am right then, given the problems faced by its competitors, trope bundle theory emerges as a highly attractive theory of substance and properties.
Julien Murzi (Sheffield) - The Paradox of Idealization (co-authored with Salvatore Florio)
A well-known proof by Alonzo Church, first published in 1963 by Frederic Fitch, shows that all truths are knowable only if all truths are known. This is the Knowability Paradox. If we take it, quite plausibly, that we are not omniscient, the proof appears to undermine metaphysical doctrines committed to the knowability of truth, such as semantic anti-realism. Since its rediscovery by Colin McGinn and William Hart in 1976,2 many solutions to the Paradox have been offered. In this paper, we show that some of them do not have the resources to block a problem we raise. We present a new proof to the effect that not all truths are knowable, resting on different assumptions from the original argument published by Fitch. In light of this proof, anti-realists who favour either a hierarchical or an intuitionistic approach to the Knowability Paradox are confronted with a dilemma: they must either give up anti-realism or opt for a highly controversial interpretation of their original tenet.
Cristian Constantinescu (Cambridge) - Value Incomparability and Indeterminacy
In this paper I examine two competing accounts of value-incomparability that have been put forth in recent literature. According to the standard account due mainly to Joseph Raz, incomparability means determinate failure of the three classic value-relations (better than, worse than, and equally good): two value-bearers are incomparable (with respect to a value V) if and only if (i) it is false that x is better than y (with respect to V), (ii) it is false that x is worse than y (with respect to V), and (iii) it is false that x and y are equally good (with respect to V). Most philosophers have followed Raz in adopting this account of incomparability. Recently, however, John Broome has presented an alternative view, on which value-incomparability is explained not in terms of determinate failures of the trichotomy of value-relations, but in terms of vagueness, or indeterminacy. The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, it seeks to supply some independent reasons for thinking that the phenomenon of value-incomparability is actually a matter of the indeterminacy inherent in our comparative predicates. Secondly, it attempts to further Broomes view by warding off several objections that worry him, due mainly to Ruth Chang and Erik Carlson.
Jonas Åkerman (Stockholm) - Vagueness, Belief Forming, & Similarity Constraints
Once we decide to resolve the sorites paradox by denying the major premise, the question arises why we were so inclined to believe it in the first place. It has been argued that contextualist theories of vagueness (broadly conceived) can answer this question sometimos referred to as the Psychological Question (PQ) in a satisfactory way, while competing theories cannot. However, once we observe that PQ has to do with belief forming rather than extension determining, a gap is exposed in the contextualist argument, and it becomes clear that the kind of principle invoked in order to address PQ is insufficient. Moreover, there is an alternative kind of principle which provides a neat answer PQ without putting any significant semantic restrictions on the theory and thus is available to virtually any vagueness theorist. Hence, this way of arguing for contextualism about vagueness fails. Some concluding remarks on the possibility of saving the argument by applying an instance of the principle of charity; it turns out that its application is highly problematic in cases like this.
Emily Thomas (Birmingham) - A Devilish Twist on Anselms Ontological Argument
St Anselm formulated his ontological argument to prove the existence of God. This paper is not intended to further the much-discussed issue of whether or not the argument is sound, but is instead concerned with some of the interesting consequences it would entail if it were sound: namely the fact that the ontological argument can also be used to prove or disprove the existence of the Devil. This paper will discuss the various guises of the Devil and the consequences the ontological argument holds for them. It will become apparent that Anselms meaning on some points is unclear, and I will try to unravel these ambiguities before offering my opinion as to which interpretation of Anselm is correct. This paper will show that if Anselms argument is sound then the Devil could exist, in at least one of his guises.
Moritz Schulz (Humboldt) - Counterfactuals in a Chancy World
Our thinking about counterfactuals is guided by what we take to be the objective chances the world is governed by. If they had scored another goal, they would have won the match. We think that this counterfactual is likely to be true because the chances that they would win the match on the assumption that they scored another goal were high. In this sense, our credences in counterfactuals aim at certain objective conditional probabilities. However, standard accounts of counterfactuals cannot account for this way of evaluating them. On Lewiss account, most counterfactuals are plainly false. For instance, the counterfactual above is plainly false because there is one relevant world in which the other team equalises in extra time. In this paper, I shall offer an account of the truth conditions of counterfactuals which is apt to relate them to conditional probabilities in an adequate way. The idea is to treat counterfactuals as being about a randomly-chosen antecedent-world. This amounts to a certain kind of epistemicist solution to the problem of counterfactuals and chance: it preserves bivalence but it imposes limits on which counterfactuals are knowable.
Massimo Renzo (Milan) - Fairness and Self-Defense: A Multiple Principle Theory of State Legitimacy
In this paper I will try to defend a multiple principle theory of state legitimacy, that is a theory that employs more than one principle in order to account for the fact the states are justified in coercing everyone living within their territory. While granting the anarchists claim that some individuals do not have a duty to obey the state, I will argue that nonetheless these individuals can permissibly be coerced by the state. My theory consists of two principles: the principle of fairness, which accounts for the state being justified in coercing those who accept willingly and knowingly the benefits provided by it; the principle of self-defense, which accounts for the state being justified in coercing those unwilling to accept these benefits (since the price to pay for them is state authority). Finally, I will argue that claiming that the principle of self-defense justifies the state in coercing those unwilling to have it is not to say that the state should limit itself to coerce them. On the contrary, the state should engage in a dialogue with those coerced by it, in order to offer them justificatory reasons for its action and try to convince them to see themselves as members of a cooperative venture

ALPA Honors Capt. Don Wykoff for Role in Developing New Flight Crew Rest Rules
Cincinnati pilot will receive ALPA's Presidential Recognition Award
WASHINGTON— The Air Line Pilots Association, Int'l (ALPA) president Capt. Lee Moak will honor Delta Air Lines Capt. Don Wykoff for his tremendous leadership role in developing new flight- and duty-time rules for commercial aviation. Capt. Moak will present the prestigious award during ALPA's 60th Air Safety Forum, taking place August 4–7 in Washington, D.C. The Air Safety Forum is a week-long discussion of current safety and security aviation issues, of which flight- and duty-time rules (Federal Aviation Regulations, Part 117) have long been an agenda topic.
"It is most fitting that during a week of intense focus on the top safety and security issues of our industry that we recognize Capt. Wykoff and his individual accomplishments in bettering the entire piloting profession," Moak said. "Through various leadership roles with the Association and aviation industry groups, he has helped accomplish what others have been trying to do for more than 60 years—establishing new pilot rest rules that improve the safety of air travel worldwide."
Capt. Wykoff's efforts to bring key stakeholders to consensus updating an archaic flight regulation led to the Federal Aviation Administration issuing science-based Part 117 flight limitations regulations on Jan. 4, 2012. The agency implemented these regulations for passenger airlines two years later, replacing outdated rules that had been in effect prior to the introduction of jet aircraft to commercial aviation.
"For the first time in the United States, these rules address a pilot's circadian rhythm, duty limits, and on-board rest facilities; they provide education for pilots to address fatigue mitigation and a clear path to implementing Fatigue Risk Management Systems," said Moak. "They also set a standard for other aviation regulators to emulate worldwide, and ALPA intends to share these best practices with the global aviation community—including our Canadian members. We also will not rest until these rules apply to all commercial airline pilots, including those who fly cargo."
Capt. Wykoff chairs ALPA's Flight Time/Duty Time Committee (FTDT) and co-chaired the FAA Flight and Duty Time Limitations and Rest Requirements Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC). Under his leadership, the ARC developed recommendations for a modern, science-based set of flight, duty, and rest regulations, and ALPA adopted a new policy on flight-time and duty-time limits and minimum rest requirements.
The U.S. Congress has also recognized the value of the process and application of universal scientific principles. Lawmakers are developing legislation to ensure that the work of the ARC applies to all pilots. Regulators specifically designed Part 117 to cover all operations, without differentiating among international, domestic, or supplemental operations, and with no distinction between cargo and non-cargo operations. Cargo pilots are flying the same routes, in the same airspace, and use the same equipment as other pilots.
"Capt. Wykoff's strategic approach to building group consensus required extraordinary focus, leadership, and dedication," Moak continued. "With that approach, he was able to change the paradigm from prescriptive rules to the use of data-driven flight crew scheduling through Fatigue Risk Management Systems to address 'pilot fatigue.'"
Founded in 1931, ALPA is the world's largest pilot union, representing more than 51,000 pilots at 31 airlines in the United States and Canada. Visit the ALPA website at www.alpa.org or follow us on Twitter .

Sitting in the jump seat of an RAF Puma helicopter, the Prime Minister flew low over burned out houses and gutted buildings to see for the first time the devastation wrought across the province.
Mr Blair, casually dressed in an open neck shirt, chatted informally with soldiers as helicopters roared overhead.
"I feel a great sense of pride. I feel that the cause was just. We know that thousands of people were killed and treated with great brutality," he said.
He called for the world to rebuild Kosovo as a "symbol of how the Balkans should be" but conceded that there would be "difficulties along the way".
Asked about the recent violence towards the Serb minority, the Prime Minister replied: "We fought this conflict because we believe in justice, because we believed it was wrong to have ethnic cleansing and racial genocide here in Europe towards the end of the 20th century and we didn't fight it to have another ethnic minority repressed."
Mr Blair was met by General Sir Mike Jackson, the British commander of Nato's Kosovo force, and David Slinn, the new British representative in Pristina before joining the soliders at the K-For headquarters.
He later dined with the general and Bernard Kouchner, the United Nations administrator for Kosovo but, for security reasons, flew out to spend the night in Macedonia.
He is to return to Kosovo today when he will announce that 60 Royal Ulster Constabulary officers are to be sent out to help keep order in the area. They have been chosen because, unlike mainland police, they are accustomed to carrying weapons and working with divided communities.
Mr Blair will also hold talks with Hashim Thaci, leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army, his political rival, Ibrahim Rugova, and leaders of the Serbian community. Mr Blair is also expected to meet the people during a walkabout in the centre of Pristina and at a ceremonial tree-planting.
He can be certain of a rapturous reception from the Kosovo Albanians, who regard him as being responsible, more than any other Western leader, for delivering them from the regime of Slobodan Milosevic. Among the Kosovar intelligentsia Mr Blair is also seen as someone who can resolve an increasingly tense and violent situation in the province.
Mr Rugova, vilified by the KLA for his relative moderation in dealing with the Serbs, stayed away for six weeks in self-imposed exile after the Nato entry into Kosovo because, it is said, he feared for his safety.
His return is seen as a British diplomatic triumph and provides an alternative focus for those Kosovars who are increasingly apprehensive about the activities of the KLA and their supporters. Yesterday afternoon Mr Rugova was said to be still worried about his safety and was in talks with British diplomats.
The KLA, which has signed a demilitarisation agreement with Nato, has been accused of intimidating not only Serbs but also, on occasions, Albanian political opponents.
There is a perception in Pristina that Mr Thaci and his party had been "adopted" by the US as heir apparents in Kosovo. His relationship with the American Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, who was in Kosovo on Thursday, is said to be particularly close.Reuse content

Education/Training and Outreach Activities Integrative training Plans to create/expand local and remote modules for Integrative training that may Include graduate programs, fellowships, certifications, courses, and internal seminar series to develop multidisciplinary trainees that can tackle cancer-related problems with physical sciences and engineering approaches. Nanomedicine Certificate Cancer Nanotechnology is part of the rapidly growing discipline of Nanomedicine that involves the integration of nanotechnology and biomedical research. Recognizing that this highly interdisciplinary approach has many important ramifications for both basic and applied biomedical research, during the first phase of the Carolina CCNE, we created a Certificate in Nanomedicine through the UNC Graduate School. We plan to continue to offer this Certificate Program. This certificate is available to students enrolled in PhD programs in the physical or biomedical sciences, and to postdoctoral fellows in similar areas. The Certificate program is an adjunct to existing PhD programs and the requirements of the Certificate would be in addition to the normal PhD program requirements. Approval by the trainee's primary mentor is required for participation in the Certificate Program. A key goal for this Program is to be rigorous and truly interdisciplinary, but yet remain accessible to students and postdoctoral fellows from very diverse backgrounds. To attain this objective, there are three major aspects ofthe Certificate Program. Nanomedicine Course (3 course hours) This is an interdisciplinary course directed by Project 3 PI Dr. Russell Mumper and is co-taught by many current CCNE faculty including DeSimone, Zhou, Huang, Lin, Zamboni and Juliano. This course is required of all students/fellows in the Nanomedicine Certificate Program. The course offers an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of nanomedicine for students with physical, chemical or biological science background and emphasizes emerging nanotechnologies and biomedical applications including nanomaterials, nanoengineering, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems, nano-based imaging and diagnostic systems, nanotoxicoiogy, and translating nanomedicines into clinical investigation. Research Rotation in Complementary Field of Nanomedicine (3 course hours) Each student (or fellow) in the Program will have both a primary mentor and a co-mentor. If the primary mentor is a physical scientist then the co-mentor must be a biomedical scientist, or vice-versa. As an important part of the Nanomedicine Certificate Program, the student/fellow will spend the equivalent of one research rotation (approximately three months) in the laboratory of the co-mentor conducting research and absorbing the intellectual framework of the complementary field as it applies to nanomedicine. Rotation plans will be approved by the mentor, co-mentor, and the guiding mentor from the Certificate Program Committee. The co-mentor will be expected to play an active role in the training process. Coursework (4 course hours) Students will be expected to complete 4 course hours of coursework at least 1 of which may not count toward the student's regular Ph.D. program. This would include a minimum of two courses or four course hours. The courses are grouped as 'Physical Sciences', 'Biological Sciences'and 'Interdisciplinary'. At least one course must be outside the student's primary field. Thus, for example, a student from a physical science Ph.D. program must take at least one course from the Biological Science or Interdisciplinary offerings, while a student from a biological Ph.D. program must take at least one course from the Physical Science or Interdisciplinary offerings. In addition to UNC-CH courses, students would be able to select a web-based course offered by Washington University in St. Louis, supported by their Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence. This course has a broad focus from materials science to imaging and clinical applications and would provide a great opportunity to gain a perspective on nanomedicine from another leading Institution. Students would register as "unclassified students" at Washington University, where there is precedent for negotiating a tuition waiver and granting credit to students from another institution.

Just a bit of trivia from my Adv. Arboriculture class that I found very interesting, and never gave much thought too before.
Texas has 5 hardiness zones. 6a to 9b
the Grand Canyon, because of altitude, has 4 hardiness zones from the desert floor up to the rim. The rim being akin to S. Canada.
Haven't gotten to California yet, but I'll be interested to see how many they have.

In the second clip, an old man shakes his fists skyward at the Old Spice gods as his son is smushed to death beneath a giant deodorant stick.
great acting

by Farmer John Peterson and Angelic Organics
Join the real food revolution with a true pioneer in the Community Supported Agriculture movement—Farmer John Peterson and his farm, Angelic Organics. Angelic Organics is a leader in community supported gardening and biodynamics, helping to connect people with their food, their farmers, and healthful living.
This is the companion book to the critically acclaimed documentary "The Real Dirt on Farmer John" (directed by Taggart Siegel), which has won awards at major film festivals worldwide. This companion volume features exciting recipes grouped by season and by vegetable, provides cooking tips, serving suggestions, and evocative descriptions of each dish, and teaches readers new ways to use a surplus of basil, cabbage, tomatoes, or whatever veggie is plentiful.
Also included in the book is an Illustrated Vegetable Identification Guide and tips on long-term vegetable and herb storage and preservation methods (such as freezing, drying, canning, and lactic acid fermentation). Whether you grow your own veggies, spend lingering mornings at the farmer's market, or pluck your produce from shelves at the local supermarket, Farmer John's Cookbook is an invaluable resource on growing, cooking, and storing real food and a guidebook to starting a veggie revolution in your hometown.
The movie and DVD release, "The Real Dirt on Farmer John," documents the dramatic failure of Farmer John's conventional farming operation and its resurrection into a thriving, organic CSA farm!
"[Farmer John is] part of a movement that connects to the same movement that Alice Waters has helped lead and facilitate, coming from another part of the system."
—Al Gore, in his introduction of The Real Dirt on Farmer John, San Francisco's Castro Theatre, June 2005
About the Author

Give in to uncertainty
In the land of bright lights and starry nights
The sweet scent of cotton candy
Acknowledges old acquaintances;
Airy wisps of donuts, deep-fried
Sausages sizzling on steamy stands.
The night is young, and so are you-
So inhale the rush and excitement
And soak up the screams of laughter.
Let your youth lead,
Take your tokens.
Hold your eyes tight and feel the fairground
Whooshing away.
With hands held hard
Release. See smiles ablur
Swirling and spinning
Throw your head back
Feel the tears of inertia stream down your cheeks
As you ground to a halt
Shake off that feeling of nauseous nostalgia
Step back into reality - it's over.

Rock 'n' Roll Racing 2
(Interplay) PlayStation
The original Rock 'n' Roll Racing appeared on the SNES many moons ago, when the next generation consoles were no more than twinkles in their designers' eyes, and now, after a major revamp, the sequel has pitched up on the PlayStation.
The game casts you as an intergalactic racing driver who must compete in no-holds-barred races against some of the worst scum in the universe. You are given a certain amount of money at the start with which to purchase a vehicle, and, from then on, you can only earn more cash if you win races.
Many of the features which made the original such a success have been retained; the rock 'n' roll is still there, as is the racing, and, what's more, you get 50 per cent extra violence for free. No longer do you have to content yourself with mere homing missiles, now you can blow your enemies away with plasma guns and flame-throwers to name but two. It's also much faster than the first game, and is sure to satisfy your need for speed.
Clearly, the game has all the ingredients necessary to make it a must- have title, but unfortunately it doesn't make the grade. There is no one single aspect which lets it down; rather it is spoiled by a combination of minor failings. For one thing, the cars tend to spin out several times a lap for no reason, which disrupts the flow of the game. Then there's the dreadful heavy metal music, the lack of engine noise, the fiddly aiming system...
This had great potential, but it's not a patch on its predecessor.
On release, pounds 44.99
Sega Touring Car
(Sega Sports) cd-rom
Racing of a different variety is on offer to PC owners in the shape of Sega Touring Car Championship. Choose one of four finely tuned saloon cars and put the pedal to the metal as you go all out to be crowned world champion. Sounds good, but does it have what it takes to beat TOCA Touring Car Championship to the chequered flag?
With it's textured 3D graphics, it may look like a dedicated attempt to simulate what is arguably the most exciting brand of motorsport there is, but underneath it is a pure arcade racer. Everything in the game has been kept as simple as possible so there's nothing to distract you from the high-speed action. There's one key for the brakes, one for the accelerator and two for the steering. If you want to complicate matters, you can choose to play with a manual gearbox, though most players should be able to handle the introduction of two extra controls without having a breakdown.
But there is one big problem with this game; you need an extremely powerful PC to get anything out of it. Sega's commitment to producing games compatible with MMX technology is all very well, but it means their products aren't really accessible to the average PC owner. With the screen resolution turned up to the max it looks great but moves painfully slowly, and if you reduce the resolution it moves a lot faster but looks like garbage.
If you have a PC with an MMX processor then Sega Touring Car Championship is definitely worth a look. If you don't, then give it a miss.

Acting IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel has selected three senior staff members to aid him in a review of the tax agency. (File photo)
The Internal Revenue Service selected three senior staff members with strong management backgrounds on June 3 to assist new Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel in conducting a comprehensive review of the nation's embattled tax agency.
W. Todd Grams, currently the chief financial officer for the Department of Veterans Affairs, will be IRS' chief of staff after serving at VA for nearly four years. Grams was responsible for VA's $130 billion budget, with leadership roles in performance management, enterprise risk management, business oversight and financial management.
Heather Maloy will become IRS' deputy commissioner for services and enforcement, overseeing all four IRS operating divisions and criminal investigations. She has been commissioner of the agency's Large Business and International Division since November 2009, where she has oversaw tax administration activities for domestic and foreign businesses and partnerships with assets of more than $10 million.
David Fisher, who formerly served as the Government Accountability Office's chief administrative officer and chief financial officer, is set to serve as senior advisor to the acting commissioner and chief risk officer. At GAO, Fisher established the Continuous Process Improvement Office, charged with overseeing several projects that ultimately earned efficiency gains for GAO.
"This group brings a strong set of management skills and government experience that will be an immediate help as we conduct our review of operations, processes and practices at the IRS," Werfel said in a statement. "Their extensive expertise in management inside and outside the IRS will help us make improvements now and in the future. These are essential steps to restore the public's trust and ensure the fair and effective administration of the nation's tax system."

The new $7.5 billion SETI acquisition program aims to rapidly contract innovative technologies and solutions across the Defense Department.
The Department of Commerce is revising its confidentiality agreement for statistical data survey respondents to reflect the fact that the Department of Homeland Security could see some of that data if it is captured by the Einstein system.
In a Feb. 17 memo, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told senior leadership to establish teams to look for duplication across the armed services in business operations, including in IT and cybersecurity.
State election officials had more questions than answers after a Department of Homeland Security presentation on the designation of election systems as critical U.S. infrastructure.
The government desperately needs younger talent to replace an aging workforce, and experts say that a freeze on hiring doesn't help.
The Department of Veterans Affairs will test an internally developed scheduling module at primary care sites nationwide to see if it's ready to service the entire agency.
This article completely sidesteps the underlying story that is unfolding before us. I used to believe the IRS was a decent agency made up of normal Americans just like you and me trying to do a good job for the citizenry paying their salaries. Now I am not so sure. In the movies it is usually some right wing nut with conspiracy theories that does something like this. Turns out in real life, this has demonstrated just the opposite to be true. Instead, we apparently have some apparent left wing nuts taking their "marching orders" from a president who referred to the Tea Pary as economic terrorists. Of course the president did not directly give such orders, but to have an environment where workers or even managers believe it is OK to take such a career risk, in order to carry out the "perceived" orders of the president; it's just very, very creepy. I wish the article had mentioned that the managers Werfel appointed were going to get to the bottom of what happened with a very detailed investigation, not simply that he appointed folks who can help "improve" processes and management oversight. Whatever happened needs to see the full light of day and not have any appearance of "sweeping anything under the rug". Otherwise we may never know whether or not we can trust such a powerful agency of the federal govt again.
It's about time someone stopped the corruption at the IRS. I worked there for 5 years in the 90s and everytime I brought up wasteful spending and ethics violations, I was told by my supervisor, "We can do anything we want because we are the IRS". That has been the mentality there for years. I reported incidents to the IG which were blown off at that time. I thought the IRS IG was just one of them. It made me sick to work in such a corrupt environment. I'm a taxpayer too. As soon as all the hiring freezes were lifted, I got out and went back to work for the military. To this day, I will not e-file because I worked there when it was developed and it was not good.
