UTSA professor debuts new cantata about San Antonio's cultural history

In the Spotlight | Stephanie Key
We are so fortunate to collaborate with Ethan Wickman, SOLI Chamber Ensemble, San Antonio Chamber Choir, and Tynan Davis to premiere Ballads of the Borderlands. Our Executive Director Anne Schelleng recently chatted with Stephanie Key of SOLI about preparations for the February 27th concert.
Anne Schelleng: Now that the score is finished and you have started work on Ballads, what do you find is unique about this piece?
Stephanie Key: What's always fun for us as an ensemble is getting that new composition – it's like a present you open up on Christmas! But I think what's particularly cool about this piece is the San Antonio texts. Ballads was not written in Iceland, or by an older established composer; it's right here, right now, in living flesh. And since I'm the only member of SOLI who was raised in San Antonio, I have that extra edge.
I also think it's wonderful for the CCSA singers to have the opportunity to work with the composer. To think of what they're experiencing for the first time – I didn't get to work with living composers until I was in college!
AS: Including Tynan (Davis) as soprano soloist will enhance the experience as well. Her connection as a CCSA alumna, combined with her long relationship with SOLI, will create a wonderful "family" collaboration.
SK: Exactly! I've heard Ethan explain "why these two groups", or why bring the Children's Chorus and SOLI together, and as he's said: both of our ensembles have gained national attention and won national awards for our work. Also, the versatility of SOLI's instrumentation can really cover an orchestral palette and will provide the sound and structure to support all the beautiful treble voices.
AS: I know our singers are very excited, as you saw at a recent rehearsal. They're engaged, working hard and ready.
SK: And they're so accurate! These are some talented young musicians! They really respect themselves and are seeing themselves as musicians that are coming to this project to create something. It's not just "oh this is what I do on Monday night."
Collaboration is so neat because it's inspiring to work with people who are doing something so completely different. It doesn't matter if they're eight years old, or eighty years old – everyone has something to bring. I think of myself at their (junior high and high school) age – how exciting to do something like this! And to feel the sense of responsibility that they must have.
AS: Our singers recognize the unique opportunity and sense the more intimate – more connected – experience with SOLI in this work. They've premiered new works before, but it's been a long time since they've had a significant piece written for them. And, for many of them, the texts highlight their story.
SK: That's just amazing – and I think the Education Initiative is brilliant. It's so exciting to see how it's going to play out!
Come see what a collaboration between an all-star cast can make of San Antonio's history at Ballads of the Borderland on February 27th. You can purchase your tickets here: Ballads of the Borderland
"No matter where we are from, we all feel a sense of genetic 'otherness,' this idea that we have ancestors that at least in part, came from somewhere else—even if that somewhere else is a time where things were very different, and generations had to adapt to a shifting sense of identity and belonging. We've all at some point been the traveler, the stranger, the new person." – Ethan Wickman
In the Spotlight | Ethan Wickman
We sat down recently with composer Ethan Wickman to capture his views on the project and process of creating Ballads of the Borderland.
One of the great rewards of working with professional musicians and ensembles that perform at a professional level is the transparency that exists between the musical score and the performance. In other words, when players and singers have spent enough hours in their career in the 'woodshed,' the intent of the music comes through the performance uninhibited. Not only that, but great performers add a final polish of musicality—that ability to shape a line just so, or to stretch the tempo here, or speed it up there—that can't adequately be expressed in the score, which is at best an imperfect representation of a musical experience.
After the initial excitement that comes from all the ideas that such a stimulating environment like San Antonio can provide, it can feel really overwhelming. This is because it is a very old city, filled with millions of different stories and perspectives. I can't possibly channel even a small part of what this city has meant for so many families over so many generations. I can relate my experience and the poignant experiences of a very few that were willing to share their family stories with me through interviews and poetry. I chose the texts I did, and the sound of the music I did, in order to draw out the universal experience of migration. No matter where we are from, we all feel a sense of genetic 'otherness,' this idea that we have ancestors that at least in part, came from somewhere else—even if that somewhere else is a time where things were very different, and generations had to adapt to a shifting sense of identity and belonging. We've all at some point been the traveler, the stranger, the new person.
The differences in what each group brings sonically represent one of the great inspirations for a piece like this. SOLI represents this astonishing instrumental virtuosity and power—they are capable of voracious energy, but also delicate atmospheres. The Children's Chorus brings this beautiful, ethereal sound that will fill the venue space. The CCSA also provides a youthful, hopeful perspective—an earnest innocence and believability. If SOLI is the engine that establishes the momentum, the CCSA offers the work's spirit and conscience. The chamber choir can be thought of as—quite literally—the adult version of the children, both in sound and in spirit. Practically speaking, they provide a solid vocal core in the lower registers, as well as a deeper coloration behind the children. Tynan becomes the focal point of the spirit of the work, the "word made flesh," if you will. She gives voice to the intimate, individual stories that are told, and with whom the listener will empathize as they would the protagonist of a drama.
Listeners will realize right away that I'm not offering up the history of San Antonio in song. I've been describing the work to others increasingly as "an anthology of cultural perspectives." In other words, here are a few stories among many that have emerged from the borderland region. On the surface they are not my personal stories—not genetically, and not culturally—but behind the names and the places are stories that all families know: nostalgia for the simpler time of childhood, regret for missed opportunities, family disappointments and tragedies, but also moral courage, gratitude, and a sense of wonder at the seemingly endless familial strands of which we're all a part. I hope listeners leave the performance with greater empathy for the experiences of others, and new insight into how our experiences bind us together in ways that are not always apparent and go deeper than we often acknowledge.

JAMESTOWN — The York County School Division doesn't own a magic school bus that transports students to exotic destinations like Ms. Frizzle in the popular book series.
But it may have found the next best thing: Skype.
Last week, about 50 teachers used the Internet-based phone and video service to broadcast a "virtual field trip" from Jamestown Settlement in Williamsburg to about 18 classrooms — some from just down the road in York County, others from Pennsylvania, Texas and Canada.

From Roselle Park, New Jersey, USA:
My son was diagnosed at just under 18 months of age. His A1c has ranged from 9.7 to 8.2. In the second grade, he scored 150 on the OLSAT (Otis-Lennon School Ability Test) verbal. In fourth grade, he scored 129 and in fifth, only 121. Can these declining scores show some sort of cognitive damage due to poor blood glucose control?
This is a good question, one we don't often receive. I would only think it if he were unable to take the test because of a low or very high blood sugar, or if he had multiple episodes of hypoglycemic seizures, could one blame diabetes. Most especially, if the testing time was troubled by glucose management, then I would think the results were not valid. You might consult a clinical psychologist for a true evaluation. School performance, as measured by these tests, especially from ages seven to 10, certainly can change. For any testing situation, the ability to monitor glucose and give snacks and insulin helps ensure the best result.

Adventure Background
In 4606 ar, Aroden, god of humanity, innovation, and story, died. No city in all of Golarion was wracked more fundamentally by this catastrophic event than Westcrown. The capital of Cheliax—an entire country sworn to the god of humanity's worship at the time—Westcrown was the expected site of Aroden's return and had spent decades preparing for the event. A massive plaza known as the Arodennama, complete with a towering statue of the god, stood ready to receive the deity, yet after his death, it took only a few short years for the church of Aroden to fall. The Arodennama was abandoned, and the entire country found itself in the grips of a civil war with fierce diabolists. The rise of the Thrice-Damned House of Thrune saw Westcrown's further descent. After a brutal 30-year civil war, the diabolical House of Thrune seized control of Cheliax. One of their first acts as the nation's new government was to move the capital and royal court north to the city of Egorian, emptying Westcrown of much of its affluence and prestige. Those nobles who remained behind were largely old families rooted in their traditions and their pride, content to rot in their declining home. While still a vibrant and important port, the splendor that had typified Westcrown for centuries swiftly waned, and without the noble court many commoners and merchants who had previously made a living pandering to the country's elite were forced to move on, leaving whole blocks abandoned. Westcrown faded to a pale shadow of its former glory and became a playground for vultures eager to pick the royal carcass.
The Drovenge Shame
The Drovenges have always been the key family among the Council of Thieves. An incredibly wealthy and conservative family of moneylenders and property owners, the Drovenges weathered the fall of Aroden and the rise of the House of Thrune well. Led today by their patriarch, Vassindio Drovenge, the family has endured much in the years since Aroden's death, but have kept a comfortable grip on their underworld holdings. Though not all the families that comprise the Council of Thieves can say the same, the Drovenges managed to retain a significant measure of their wealth, respect, and power. Yet that was called into question by Vassindio's son, Sidonai. Arrogant and manipulative, the Drovenge scion was incensed upon the birth of his first offspring, a weak girl-child her mother named Chammady. Sidonai had wanted a son, a "true heir" to usher in a new era of power and prosperity for his family. In the weeks following Chammady's birth, Sidonai schemed to sire a son with a divine mandate to flourish and rule amid the diabolical nobles of the country, who seemed only to respect their own. Although tieflings in Cheliax face a harsh life as secondclass citizens, Sidonai sought a way where he might sire a son with one of the archdevils—despite Asmodeus's eight lieutenants being male—an infernal son whom the land's Hell-obsessed rulers would have no choice but to respect. To this end, Sidonai bargained for the aid of a hag coven living within the woods near Westcrown. These hags were known as the Flies, and consisted of a Mother, a Sister, and a Daughter. The Flies presented the nobleman with a coin from the depths of Erebus, the realm of the archdevil Mammon, telling Sidonai to swallow the gold piece before he next bedded his wife. Pleased with the witches' cultic solution, he departed. Doing as he was told, Sidonai ingested the coin, not realizing the truth of what the Flies had provided him. Mammon, the Lord of the Third, is in fact all the treasure that comes to lie within Hell's vaults, being a creature of no forms and of many, a profane genus loci, an animating spirit. Thus, by swallowing the coin, Sidonai allowed Mammon to temporarily possess him and impart his foul immortal seed unto the criminal's unsuspecting wife. Nine months passed, with Sidonai attempting to hide his infernal plot and downplaying his wife's growing complications with her second pregnancy. The child birthed was a boy, yet said birth left no question as to the father's true parentage. Disfigured with horns, silver eyes, and golden skin, the half-fiend's unholy origin was obvious to all, particularly the babe's horrified mother and, soon enough, the furious family patriarch. Vassindio Drovenge, believing his son's wife had cuckolded his heir and brought shame upon his family, murdered the woman as she recovered from her long and exhausting labor. The brazen murder drew the whole story from a panicked Sidonai, who confessed to his father what he had done. Disgusted by his son's insane plot, Vassindio ordered the death of all involved, and by that evening the lives of Sidonai's house staff, his wife's midwives, and even two of the hags his son had consulted in the forest were all cut short. Only two survived—the green hag known as the Mother of Flies (who was apart from her sisters when the murderous humans came), and Sidonai himself. Yet Sidonai did not escape unscathed. Furious, shamed, and doubting his son's sanity, Vassindio gathered a generous stipend for his one-time heir and sent him to live among family members in distant Oparra, the capital city of Taldor. Enraged but fearful of his father's recent display of wrath, Sidonai departed for Taldor immediately, yet he never arrived in Oppara and has not been seen since. Considering his son dead even before this disappearance, Vassindio mourned for the cruel fate that had come upon his family. No longer able to sire children of his own, Vassindio took it upon himself to raise his son's children. Even though the tiefling baby embodied the shame Sidonai had inflicted upon the family, he was now Vassindio's only male heir. After a long, dark night of the soul, Vassindio decided to let the tiefling live and named him Ecarrdian. Chammady and Ecarrdian spent their youths together among servants and cold luxury. Theirs was a family of two, where each was parent and playmate to the other, and the devotion they formed for one another grew strong. Whereas Ecarrdian was all but ignored by the family, Chammady had some contact with her grandfather, receiving occasional gifts and boons from him that she secretly shared with her brother. See also heard the jabs and mockery the house staff heaped daily on her brother. Fiercely defensive, the noble girl once cut one of her first handmaids with a broken wine bottle when the servant offered her brother but a playful insult, the incident resulting in the handmaid's all-too-willing dismissal. Chammady grew resentful of the world and her grandfather and sought only to escape with her brother, yet the bars of their gilded cage proved far too thick, and the siblings turned to each other for their only comfort. Ecarrdian's
childhood proved even more painful than his sister's, mocked by servants when they thought he couldn't hear, scolded by tutors for the slightest mistake, and denied even the smallest overtures of familial love and respect. He came to loathe his grandfather and his army of servants—not just for their stuffy ways and slander, but for their race, developing a burning hatred for all humans save his beloved sister. Even upon entering into their
majority, Chammady and Ecarrdian found that escape from their family's ways would not prove as easy as expected. Their grandfather proved watchful and domineering, assigning the pair duties within his dusty mercantile and criminal empire. Well into his eighties, the old man remained vigorous and hateful, and the Drovenge scions began to believe that the old man would never die and their freedom would never come. The plot was simple and obvious, but Chammady spoke it first. The siblings would kill their grandfather and Ecarrdian would take control of the family. In fact, with their grandfather's power and prestige, why stop there? Why not lop the head from the hateful corpse that was Westcrown and claim the entire city as their own? Finally, they would be the ones to be obeyed—their grandfather's empire, an entire city, and more would be theirs to rule. The siblings mulled the plot for years, but nothing came of their dark fantasies. Finally, though, old Vassindio decided to send Ecarrdian to Taldor to address the family's failing ventures there. The two Drovenge men argued, as Ecarrdian had no wish to travel abroad and saw (rightfully) the assignment to Taldor as forced exile, but the patriarch would not be denied. In only a few months' time the tiefling would go to Taldor, to return when the family's holdings there were again secure—a sentence of years, if not a lifetime. Chammady took the news hardest, but refused to mourn, for now was their time to act. Vassindio would die, Westcrown would be theirs, and if the pair had to shatter the criminal underworld, throw the entire city into
chaos, and draw upon the power of Ecarrdian's true father to succeed, then so be it!
The Relics of Shadow and Sun
In the months before Aroden's death and the fall of the Chelish way of life, two bedraggled Pathfinders returned to Westcrown with a harrowing tale. Pathfinder Donatalus Bisby and his erstwhile chronicler Ilnerik Sivanshin returned from a grueling 3-year expedition to the Mwangi Expanse, 2 years after the Pathfinders had given them up as lost. With tales of cannibals, simian demons, jungle rot, hideous monsters, and river madness, the pair's account of the grisly and varied fates of the other 45 porters, servants, and explorers (including several other relatively well-known Pathfinders) who had accompanied them into
the jungle was hushed up by the Society. All the lone two survivors had to support their wild tales was a curious relic they'd managed to salvage and bring back from a strange and ancient jungle ruin. This relic consisted of two interlocking components—a golden bird's head and an obsidian bat's head. The bird head represented an ancient sun deity, while the bat's head depicted a foul demon of the night. These two deities were the foundation of the long-dead civilization whose ruins Donatalus and Ilnerik had gone to the Mwangi Expanse to explore, and the relic's recovery was an incredibly important find, for the Pathfinders had long sought more clues into the nature of this ancient and mysterious society. Donatalus's return was much celebrated, and the Pathfinder's glory and acceptance into the Chronicles seemed assured, yet as Donatalus's star rose, Ilnerik grew increasingly jealous and bitter. Finally, consumed by this jealousy, he broke apart the relic and fled Westcrown with the bat head component. He suspected that on the markets of Nisroch in Nidal, the shadowy bat head relic would fetch a fair price, yet what he hadn't known was that, together, the two relics symbolized a single dualistic concept—the balance of light and darkness. Separated from the sun idol, the bat idol had no counterbalance, and with each day of Ilnerik's journey toward Nidal, he grew more sickly—his flesh began to burn in the sun, his hunger grew but the thought of food nauseated him, and he was unable to sleep at night and barely able to function by day. He crossed the border into Nidal on the same day Aroden died and Cheliax erupted into chaos, and by that evening, Ilnerik had crawled into a cave and died—only to rise with the next moon as a vampire. Ilnerik spent the next century in Nidal, becoming a master of the shadows of the night and learning of the true powers of the bat-head relic—such as the fact that the relic was sacred to a now-dead demon lord of bats and shadows named Vyriavaxus, and that it granted its owner all manner of power over various beasts of shadow, including the ability to call them up and bend them to servitude. His standing in Nidal grew yearly, and it was not without a delighted sense of irony that Ilnerik returned to Westcrown after being secretly contacted by the new government of Cheliax to provide a service—he and his shadow beasts would serve in Westcrown as the midnight guard, to ensure that after the fall of night, the city's citizens remained safely in doors, lest beasts of shadow take them down. Today, Ilnerik's allegiance has shifted away from the Arvanxi family and to the Council of Thieves—to Ecarrdian and Chammady Drovenge, in fact, with whom he shares the desire to claim Westcrown as his own.

MEGAN THOMPSON, PBS NEWSHOUR WEEKEND ANCHOR: Rebel-held areas around Aleppo, Syria, continue to be subject to fierce fighting, as government forces try to retake the city. And a new report from the independent Syrian Center for Policy Research estimates 470,000 Syrians have died in the war, almost double previous estimates.
"New York Times" reporter David Sanger is covering the conference, and he joins me now from Munich.
David, a day after the cease-fire plan was announced, confidence in it doesn't seem to be very high, correct?
DAVID SANGER, THE NEW YORK TIMES: It certainly doesn't.
We heard Sergey Lavrov, the foreign minister of Russia, say today that he thought maybe 49 percent. And somewhat sarcastically we heard Secretary of State Kerry later on, "Oh, he's that optimistic?" I think Mr. Kerry has got a higher sense of probability that this will work.
But there's an awful lot, Megan, that can get in the way of this. There are two parts to this.
The first part is humanitarian deliveries to the besieged cities in Syria. I think there's a fair bit of optimism that those will be stark, and the question is how long will they last?
The second and much harder part of this is what most people would call a cease-fire and what they are calling for these purposes "a cessation of hostilities". Even Secretary Kerry has said this may only be a pause. The idea is give enough of a quiet moment to actually get negotiations going.
MEGAN THOMPSON: It seems that as talk of this cease-fire have increased, so have tensions between the U.S. and Russia. Is this just posturing, or is it part of something bigger?
DAVID SANGER: You know, it really is something bigger. Think of the different elements. We have the continued tensions and sanctions over Ukraine. We have the increased Russian patrols off of the British coast, off of most of Europe, more nuclear forces being exercised.
And I think here, the Americans were taken a little bit by surprise at the speed at which the Russians ended up entering that air war over Aleppo, and thus gaining some leverage that the U.S. right now does not have in return.
MEGAN THOMPSON: One of the issues that has caused tension between the two countries is this issue of military coordination in Syria. Can you talk a little bit about that and if there's been any movement on that front?
DAVID SANGER: The United States has been very, very cautious about getting into coordination with the Russians because they say, look, the Russians are deceiving people about who they're striking.
They're striking many of the rebel groups aligned with the United States other ands who have been opposing Assad, and saying that they're just striking the two terror groups that have been designated by the United Nations, the Islamic State, and the al-Nusra Front.
But the coordination is going to be unavoidable over the next few weeks because they're supposed to work together in a joint task force headed by Mr. Kerry and Mr. Lavrov, to pick out targeting.
They're supposed to work together on the cease-fire, and they're supposed to work together on the humanitarian aid. I don't know how you do that without something that approaches coordination, made all the harder by the fact that the United States is, of course, back into the sanctions business against the Russians right now.
MEGAN THOMPSON: David, you can talk a little bit about the timetable, how this will all work on the ground?
DAVID SANGER: Well, Megan, the way it's supposed to work is that the humanitarian relief is supposed to begin within days, and Secretary Kerry said today that the trucks are loaded up and ready to go. But that's a different thing than actually getting them into where they're supposed to be. And the Russians are supposed to be airdropping some aid. Some of the big questions is, where they aired drop it and to which people?
If a week from today, we still see a lot of fighting going on, then you'll know that this wasn't working the way it was supposed to.
MEGAN THOMPSON: All right. David Sanger of "The New York Times" — thank you so much for joining us.
DAVID SANGER: Thank you, Megan. Good to be back with you.

No. 25 Stanford Wins Opener Against No. 5 Rice, 6-4

STANFORD, Calif.-- Jordan Pries (1-0) struck out five and pitched into the eighth while Jonathan Kaskow drove in two as No. 25-ranked Stanford (1-0) defeated No. 5-ranked Rice (0-1) 6-4 on opening night around college baseball. Freshman Stephen Piscotty added three hits.
Pries' night looked like a short one early, as he gave up a leadoff homer to Michael Raterree and five hits to the first eight Rice batters. But the sophomore righthander settled down, allowing just four hits the rest of his night and nine overall, giving up four runs (one earned) over 7.2 innings.
Shortstop Jake Schlander made two errors, leading to three unearned runs, as Rice closed to within 6-4 in the eighth and 3-2 in the sixth.
Rice's last chance came in the eighth, as Michael Fuda's two-run homer in made it 6-4 as a Schlander error allowed the inning to continue. Alex Pracher then relieved Pries and retired the final four batters of the game for his first save.
Schlander's first error in the third, led to Rice pulling to within one. The error put runners on the corners, as the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year then redeemed himself, grabbing a ball headed up the middle and turning a nice double play, with Rice scoring from third to make it 3-2. Pries then got Craig Manuel to pop up to Schlander to end the threat.
Stanford then opened up the flood gates in the seventh, as Jones hit a one-out homer, followed by a balk and RBI double by Kaskow to make it 6-2.
Stanford scratched together three runs early on, as a fielder's choice and RBI single by Kaskow in the second and RBI single by Schlander in the third made it 3-1..

Originally established by Helen Dowling and Sir Yehudi Menuhin, the Menuhin-Dowling program is an exemplary, performance-oriented music program open to instrumental and vocal music students in grades 1–8. The program encourages students to deepen musical knowledge across disciplines, including theory, practice, and performance. Menuhin students make a significant commitment to the study of their instruments, receiving two lessons per week and performing on a regular basis with a focus on great master composers' music.
Students participating in the program learn to:
- Practice daily, following a routine established in tandem with private instructors.
- Perform regularly, both on campus and in the community.
- Engage in music beyond their instrument, including attending concerts and listening to recorded music.
- Interact with other Menuhin scholars and teachers at scheduled Menuhin events.
- Deepen their musical understanding through the study of theory.
- Assess themselves annually, reporting in writing on areas of progress and needed growth.
What is the Menuhin-Dowling Program?
The program is an exemplary, performance-oriented music program open to a limited number of instrumental music students who are admitted by audition. It was originally established by Helen Dowling and Sir Yehudi Menuhin, recognized first as a child prodigy violinist, and ultimately as one of the world's foremost musicians, performers, and educators of the twentieth century. Menuhin Scholars are expected to make a significant commitment to the study of their instruments, receiving two lessons per week and performing on a regular basis with a focus on the music of the great master composers. Instructors are outstanding performers and teachers whose goal is to help the scholars become skilled musicians and performers.
Who is eligible?
Any student who demonstrates a high degree of musical potential, competency, and talent, with a deep and continuing interest in music and a high level of commitment to the program and the support of their parents.
How old should my child be to be in the program?
The child should be in the first through eighth grade.
When and where are the auditions?
Auditions are held at Nueva as needed, but generally once in the spring during the Solo Review process and once in the fall at the beginning of the school year. Families will be notified of specific dates, times, and locations of auditions.
Will my child need to change teachers?
Children admitted into the program must study exclusively with a Menuhin instructor. This avoids the inevitable confusion associated with dual teaching styles, methodologies, and personal dynamics. Students currently studying with a teacher outside of Nueva will need to transition to the Nueva Menuhin instructor. The current teacher should be consulted with regard to the audition and possible change.
Will my child miss any of his/her other classes to go to lessons?
Possibly. Although every effort is made to avoid scheduling of lessons during core curriculum class time, sometimes this is not possible. Menuhin Scholars are expected to keep current with class work missed because of lessons.
In scheduling lessons, who is given priority?
Menuhin Scholars are given first priority in a grade hierarchy from highest to lowest.
Are beginning students expected to participate as advanced students do?
No. Expectations for very young and/or beginning scholars are much less demanding. They have time to grow into the requirements of additional lessons, practice time, etc. The more advanced students are in the Performance Level. Less advanced (but not necessarily younger) students are in the Preparatory Level.
Of what does this total program consist?
It includes two forty-five minute private lessons per week and, as the students advance, regular performances in "Brown Bags" and evening recitals, String Ensemble, chamber ensembles, master classes, and other activities.

Abbas received a registered letter ordering him to shut down his garden restaurant by 8 pm each night. He was in violation of the village's noise ordinance. If they didn't shut down as ordered, they would face a court appearance and fine. Abbas knew immediately that Mallory was behind it. He immediately called his lawyer.

What our guests are saying about this room:
"Thank you, so much for the wonderful hospitality and superb accommodations during our visit to St Augustine… …The Mary Lily was comfortable, bright, and super clean - just what we expected after seeing it on your website..."
In the 1880s, the landscape of St Augustine changed forever with the arrival of an enterprising millionaire Yankee – Henry Morrison Flagler. A partner in Standard Oil with John D. Rockefeller, his life was a wonderland of building railroads, creating hotels and turning the eastern seaboard of Florida into the tourist Mecca of the South, including his beloved St. Augustine. After his first wife Mary Harkness died at an early age, followed by a divorce from his second wife Ida Alice, he married Mary Lily Kenan from Kenansville, North Carolina, in 1901.
Theirs was a marriage that would last until Flagler's death in 1913. Their 12 years together were abundantly lavish, beginning with their move from St. Augustine to Palm Beach, where he built the magnificent Whitehall, now the Flagler Museum, as a wedding gift for Mary Lily. For a decade, they spent the winters at Whitehall, entertaining with the sumptuous style befitting one of America's elite industrialists.
During this period, he undertook his most controversial accomplishment – building the Overseas Extension of the Florida East Coast Railway to Key West. And upon his death, Mary Lily inherited most of his large estate. Added to her family's wealth and involvement as university benefactors and noted entrepreneurs of their day, she spent her years building a legacy of leadership in America.
The Kenan Charitable Trust was the result of Mary's brother William Rand Kenan Jr. coming into her substantial fortune upon her death in 1917 (he discovered acetylene gas which led to the creation of Union Carbide).
The grand Ponce de Leon Hotel that Flagler built in 1888 became Flagler College nearly a century later in 1968. The Kenan Foundation came full circle to donate sizable contributions that the family invested in the development and restoration of its unique campus…including the famous Tiffany stained-glass windows and the first electric hotel clock in the nation that is still in operation in the elegant parlor where he and Mary Lily once entertained.
We dedicate this 'suite' to Mary Lily Kenan's good fortunes.

Karen Henderson '94 (Environmental Studies)
Cupcake War-rior
Mix a competitive spirit with a passion for great food and you get Karen Henderson's recipe for winning—one that took her from all-American volleyball star at Sac State to champion on Food Network's Cupcake Wars.
"I've been a competitor my whole life," says Henderson. "After I opened my cupcake store (The Cupcake Shop) my daughter said, 'You should go on Cupcake Wars.' Baking's my sport right now so why wouldn't I compete? It was fun and I was game for it."
She submitted a video showing off her skills and was selected to compete on the show. Her vivacious, competitive spirit carried her to the final. Henderson impressed the judges with her elegant cupcakes in the finale: a lavender and honey with vanilla tangerine mascarpone frosting and a black velvet with dark chocolate ganache filling, anise, Italian meringue filling and white chocolate.
"I don't have the ability to hold back so I just went for it," she says. "As far as being on TV, I know who I am very well so I just tried to be authentic and laugh at myself. And I have teenagers, so I have thick skin."
Henderson has taken the same go-for-it approach throughout her life. She earned induction into Sac State's Athletic Hall of Fame after an outstanding career as a setter for the Hornets from 1988-91.
Before earning her degree she defied advice from family and friends and took a summer trip to Europe. Her time in Italy stoked her fires for baking.
"I visited every bakery over there," Henderson says. "We lived in a villa over Lake Como and everybody grew their own herbs and tomatoes for their kitchens. There were open-air markets and I was totally enamored by everything there. Unfortunately I had to come back. I wanted to be on Italy time for the rest of my life."
Inspired by her travels, Henderson got a job as a bread maker at now-closed Greta's Café in Sacramento. As she honed her baking skills, she wrapped up her degree in environmental studies with plans to go into city planning, or possibly teaching. But the mountains, and her sense of adventure, were calling her.
After working at several different restaurants and bakeries and making wedding cakes on an informal, part-time basis, Henderson decided to tackle another challenge.
"My grandfather passed away and left me enough money to open a commercial kitchen," she says. "I baked bread, cakes, cookies and I knew I had the passion for what I was doing."
Henderson officially opened her catering and baking business—Lila and Sage—in the gold rush town of Murphys in 2005 and the cupcake store opened in 2011.
More than 300 friends, family and community members gathered to watch the pre-recorded Cupcake Wars finale in July of 2012. The day after Henderson's victory, which earned her a check for $10,000, she had a problem.
"We sold out in an hour," Henderson says. "We weren't used to lines. It wasn't a bad problem to have. We had to make some adjustments. Some of our employees got full-time jobs immediately. The store got crazy and the local notoriety sustained it."
Business at Lila and Sage is still booming a year later. Henderson has a strong local niche in the town of 1,200 people and tourists are flocking to the store, eager to taste the award-winning treats.
She has aspirations to expand, possibly to the Sacramento area, but right now Henderson is busy grooming the next generation of competitors in the family. Her daughter Madeline, 15, is a standout setter at Bret Harte High. Her son Ethan, 12, is a budding soccer player. Both attended sports camps at Sac State this summer.
For a go-getter like Henderson, staying put is sometimes tough, but she's learned that it can pay off in the long run.
"I started my company eight years ago and there were times when it was slow and I would say, 'Well, I guess it's time to go back to school and get my master's,'" Henderson says. "It wasn't until about three years ago when I finally said, 'I guess I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing.'"

text: Santorum targets JFK 02/27/12 08:00 PMUpdated 10/02/13 10:03 PM By Chris Matthews Let me finish tonight with this. Rick Santorum has a strange way of winning over those blue collar Catholics he needs to beat the elite Mitt Romney. He attacked John F. Kennedy. Because if the record shows JFK was far from perfect in his personal morality, I question deeply - and, yes, passionately, Santorum's attack on his public role.Kennedy was an out-and-out war hero who risked his life in the South Pacific. No president in history, no politician I can think of, showed such selfless courage in the way Kennedy did in saving his crew in the South Pacific. Santorum ought to do a little study on the matter before making charges about who makes his "throw up."Second, he ought to take a look at John F. Kennedy's record of public service in elective office. He was the first president to stand up for civil rights, declaring it a "moral issue as old as the Scriptures, as clear as the American Constitution." He sent federal troops into Mississippi to integrate Ole Miss. He forced the door open at the University of Alabama past the resistance of Governor George Wallace. Today, the sister of that young woman he got into Alabama that day is married to the Attorney General of the United States.Why do you think Kennedy was down there in Texas that November? He was trying to hold onto Texas and, maybe Georgia, because he knew his historic stand for civil rights was going to cost him the rest of the south.Kennedy created the Peace Corps to send young people around the world to teach and in other ways help the poor. He created the Alliance for Progress to create a partnership with Latin America. He saved the world from nuclear war in the Cuban Missile Crisis, when American generals wanted to attack Cuba and Khrushchev was ready to fire those nuclear missiles at New York the second we did. Santorum said that he wanted to "throw up" when he read Kennedy's speech declaring his commitment to keep church and state separate. But is there something wrong with saying that no Catholic prelate should tell the president, should he be Catholic, how to act, and no Protestant minister should tell his people how to vote?Perhaps before retching, Rick Santorum ought to consider that there are ways in which doing good might be possible without being sectarian, without dividing the country along lines of religious difference. Perhaps before retching he might have considered what Kennedy said in his inaugural address, that "here on earth God's work must truly be our own." Explore:John F.

The UK's first smart pavement that beams superfast Wi-Fi to urban users is being tested in Chesham.
The pavement, developed by Virgin Media, provides connectivity via submerged access points linked directly to Virgin's street cabinets, which are connected to the fibre-optic network.
The pavement provides download speeds of up to 166Mbit/s, allowing users to download a file of about 634MB, equivalent to one episode of 'Coronation Street', in about 35 seconds.
"Not only is this the first time we've built metropolitan Wi-Fi directly from our street cabinets, it is also the UK's first deployment of a Wi-Fi connected pavement," said Gregor McNeil, managing director of consumer at Virgin Media.
"It is literally public Wi-Fi under your feet. We want to build more networks like this across the UK and encourage more forward-thinking councils just like Chesham to get in touch."
Virgin Media chose Chesham to pilot the technology as the town is representative of UK population and with 21,000 residents about the right size to allow quick deployment of services across the whole town.
The ultrafast smart pavement Wi-Fi covers Chesham's high street and parts of the 36-acre Lowndes Park.
Peak download speeds can be achieved at up to 80m away from Virgin's street cabinets.
"I am delighted that we've been able to bring a UK first to Chesham with Virgin Media's ultrafast Wi-Fi, helping local people and businesses get online," said Cllr Fred Wilson, Chiltern District Council's Cabinet member for customer services and Chesham town councillor, who helped the project off the ground.
"Efficient connectivity is pivotal to running businesses today and I am proud we are part of a project which is crossing new boundaries."
First in a series of initiatives to deliver better out-of-home connectivity, Virgin Media's smart pavement Wi-Fi will be available to all residents and businesses in Chesham. Virgin Media mobile customers with Android devices will be able to access it through the company's Wi-Fi Buddy app.
Virgin Media is currently investing £3bn into developing a new network that will provide ultrafast broadband speeds to four million more homes and businesses across the UK.
The provider said that data usage on its network has been growing by 60 per cent every year and expects to see a 10,000 per cent increase by 2025.

Award-winning London based designer Tomasz Donocik was born in Poland and raised in Austria. After graduating from the Royal College of Art, he cut his design teeth working for rock chic jeweller Stephen Webster.
Tomasz Donocik's body of work boldly reinterprets modernity through subverting motifs of classicism and masculinity. Tomasz Donocik inspirations bring together literature, architecture and surrealism to redefine jewellery for the contemporary accessories wearer.
With the skill of an artisan, and unrestricted by the constraints of traditional jewellery design, Tomasz Donocik's work aims to challenge preconceptions of self-adornment. Through the sensitive fusion of materials his bold, masculine and often androgynous designs inject the discipline with new meaning and form.
Hilary Alexander of The Telegraph writes that Tomasz Donocik "…is determined to spearhead a new way for men to wear jewellery." Tomasz Donocik has been credited with several notable awards including 'Jewellery Designer of the Year' (Goldsmiths 2006); 'New Designer of the Year' (Collections 2009) and multiple Gold and Silver awards for 'Craftsmanship and Design'.
A regular fixture in the fashion press, in 2010 British and Italian Vogue hailed Tomasz Donocik as a rising star in the Jewellery Industry and won the 'Jewellery Designer of the Year Award' 2011.

So since we were spending the weekend in Melaka, Philea resort really had nothing much to do at night. So we drove to town. Parked around Jonker Walk and found this cafe.
Apparently it is one of the more popular cafes in the area.
One word to describe the interior. MESSY. But in a nice way of course.
Some local coffee with milk. Quite a refreshing taste since we have always been drinking 'western' coffee in cafes.
Their famous curry laksa. In a claypot! It's not the spicy type but very savoury and warm. LOVE IT.
Some random guy.
Greentea latte. Not nice. Dont order lol.

Amanda Bradley doesn't have a badge or carry a gun. But she's a vital part of the Broken Arrow Police Department team, nonetheless.
Bradley, a therapist at Family & Children's Services, has been embedded with the department since September 2010. Family & Children's Services also has clinicians embedded in schools, the county jail and courthouse and other locations to help improve access. Click here to learn more about our wide range of community-based services.
As BAPD's victims of crime advocate, a position funded through the District Attorneys Council Victims of Crime Act program, Bradley provides emotional support and information to people who've been impacted by crime and other tragic events. She's available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to respond directly to the most heart-wrenching police scenes, such as fatal traffic accidents and suicides, and provides officers and victims assistance by phone, as well.
Bradley's primary goal is to minimize the trauma victims experience after a violent crime. She accomplishes this in a number of ways, including "ensuring they feel safe in their environment, providing them with necessary information, helping them access detectives, prosecutors and other individuals working on their case; and allowing them to have a voice in their case," said Bradley.
Last year, Bradley provided services to nearly 1,500 crime victims. She also reviewed – and continues to review – every police report filed and helps victims through the prosecution process. "Justice comes in many different forms," explained Bradley. "Part of my work involves helping people understand that and create and accept a new normal in their lives."
Just a year into his job, Broken Arrow Police Chief David Boggs is continuing to learn about the community.
But his people-centric – rather than crime-focused – philosophy on law enforcement and how Bradley's work fits into it is clear. "One of the things I learned quickly was the value of Amanda in our department," said Boggs. "Her service is invaluable and has a real impact at the citizen level."

Consequently, a law course enables one to absorb wonder intellectual challenge in that it develops the ability to argue from a basis of evidence in a way which can be very hard for non-lawyers to counter. Thus, this is a huge advantage in whichever profession you choose.
- Medicine, Nursing & Health SciencesAre you passionate in the wellbeing of the society, helping save lives, curious about helping people improve their quality of life, or simply want to learn more about health concepts?
Having a health related career will give you the opportunity to work in a rewarding and varied environment as you will be working with people of all ages, truly making a difference to their lives. Employment opportunities will continue to expand as a result of the nation's ageing population and greater awareness of health issues. With the major shifts in the patterns of health and disease, such as the increased burden on society caused by illness and also a huge expansion of knowledge in the biomedical sciences, a health related course will definitely bring forth a closer step to a rewarding career.
- Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical ScienceAre you curious, at the same time keen about helping people to improve their quality of life?
Pharmacy is a diverse career, where you may work face-to-face with patients to provide advice, alongside other health professionals to provide medication in hospitals, or in the research and development of medications. Pharmacists will be able to work closely with patients of all ages and from a range of backgrounds, offering support and advice regarding medications or prescriptions that may help improve their wellbeing.
Pharmaceutical Science on the other hand will involve more laboratory work and medical or consumer researches. You will learn about chemistry, biology and technology of medicines and how to improve the human health by researching and developing more reliable, accessible and effective treatments. Career opportunities are also rewarding and wide as you may venture into biomedical industry and many other fields that require advanced chemical-formulation skills.

I sometimes restrict worship to a church building. The morning gathering of Christians on a Sunday, the raising of voices with other believers in hymn and song, the diligent preaching and hearing of God's word. The fellowship of believers afterwards, of people who deeply care for each other, of people laughing, of people praying, of people going over to so-and-so's to eat dinner and fellowship even more.
But worship is in the day-to-day.
In the dreaded Monday morning when I glance out the window before work and exclaim to myself, "Look at that blue sky!" In the surprisingly sweaty act of scrubbing a rebellious pot after dinner because I want to keep a clean kitchen. In the simple pleasures of enjoying a Saturday afternoon in creation. In my occupation, as my fingers scramble across the keyboard. In my husband's passion and skill in hockey. In my deep-rooted love for dance and running.
Whenever we act, work, and play in the lives God has given us, in the talents He instilled in us, in the passions He stirs in us, we worship Him. Not in the new-agey, pantheistic version of worship. We do not worship Him in our sin, in being our sinful selves, and we do not give our hobbies or our occupations or our everyday things the name of "god".
No, we worship Him when we honor him with our gifts, when we work hard as a husband or wife, when we thoroughly but moderately enjoy the hobbies He gave us — we feel His pleasure.
God is in the every day. And sometimes, I forget that. And when I do forget, I miss a chance to worship Him.


text: LAKE GEORGE A municipal environmental park which would naturally filter out pollutants from storm water and help clean up Lake Georges southern basin took a substantial step toward realization this week. The Warren County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution Jan. 18 to borrow $1.3 million to help purchase the former Gaslight Village property about 12 acres for the project. This is the most important project of its kind ever to be undertaken in the Lake George basin, Lake George Village Mayor Robert Blais said Tuesday, hours before the village board was convening to endorse the project. The town and village of Lake George and Warren County, together with three environmental groups, are expected to purchase the land from the Charles R. Wood Foundation in February for $4.1 million. The town and village are contributing $350,000 apiece. The environmental park is envisioned to include a festival area with public parking, as well as walking and bicycling trails, wetlands with exotic plants, and scenic overlooks with interpretive signs. The parks major function would be to reduce pollutants and sediment now flowing directly down West Brook, which intersects the plot, into Lake George. For many decades, thousands of tons of sediment have flowed unabated into Lake George, harming both navigation and recreation. Plans for the park, however, include a complex series of engineered wetlands and ponds which would capture the sediment, sludge and debris. The wetlands would host particular plant varieties that absorb chemical pollutants. The three municipalities have been negotiating for years with the Lake George Association, the Fund for Lake George, and the Lake George Land Conservancy to hammer out an agreement for the parks use and management. This past week, they reached a preliminary agreement, which included reserving 2.5 acres of land for a festival staging area and an accompanying municipal parking lot. The site may host events such as Americade, the NYS Fire Chiefs Convention, and the Lake George Car Show. The agreement also calls for tearing down Charlies Saloon. Some officials had previously sought to rehabilitate the abandoned building, but environmentalists contended it would obstruct the wetlands project. Supervisors had been concerned that the environmental groups might drag out completion of the park project, an effort that might include the Army Corps of Engineers. But an agreement was reached last week for the bulk of the work to be completed in 30 months, and finished in a maximum of 15 years. For years, environmentalists feared the property, the largest available plot of land in the village, would be bought up for condominiums, compounding the lake pollution problem. Also, area municipal officials once sought to build a convention center there.. But during the last several years, municipal officials and environmentalists started to work towards a common goal. Fund for Lake George Executive Director Peter Bauer said the environmental park would solve the stormwater pollution problem associated with West Brook. This has been the single biggest source of pollution to Lake George, he said, adding that a lot of permitting and engineering hurdles remain ahead. Weve come a long way now, but we still have a long way to go. Walter Lender, Executive Director of the Lake George Association, said the project would provide substantial environmental benefits for generations to come. This is the highest priority project in the Lake George region, he said. It will help protect the lake for future generations.

In their most recent offering, Apple has dropped the base MacBook computer and now replaced it with their super thin MacBook Air. This is supposed to be their entry-level computer, and it has a ton of great features, with one notable exception - no CD/DVD drive. Apple is known for leading the charge on a great many technologies and they've banked on quite a few big successes in the past years, such as the iPhone and iPad. If this machine goes over well enough that customers don't miss the optical drive, you can expect other models Apple computers to also lose their multimedia drives.
It used to be that only cheap, low-end laptops and netbooks would go without CD/DVD support. Now that Apple is putting out a full featured machine without any optical media drive, could this be the beginning of the end for our laser bouncing friends?
- slide 2 of 6
Data Storage Considerations
Do you really need a CD or DVD burner for your computer? Think about that for a moment. A DVD only holds 4.7 gigabytes of data and requires you to keep it safe in a case, plus you have to wait for it to burn and hope that everything copies properly. Or, you can buy a 16 GB flash drive on Amazon.com for less than $20, and that's more than three times the capacity of a DVD, plus it fits in your pocket.
If you are burning data to a CD or DVD to share it, do you plan on mailing the disk? The cost of postage and packaging for just one disc would be enough to nearly cover the monthly costs of basic web hosting. You could put that same data online and give your recipient instant access without having to depend on mail carriers or worry about the disc being damaged or lost during shipping,
Digital streaming content and cloud storage are making local storage less and less important. This means you won't need a portable USB backup hard drive or a case full of blank CD-R or DVD-R media to back up or transfer your data. Consider the alternatives and how there are already many services in place (Netflix, iTunes, Steam, etc.) that already make optical drives unnecessary.
- slide 3 of 6
Instant Entertainment
Many movies you buy in stores now include a 'digital copy' that you can put on your mobile device. This saves you the trouble of having to employ DVD ripping software and converting the movie. Some require you to use a disc, but in the future a one-time use download code could also work. Even without the physical media, you can stream movies over your Netflix account or buy them through iTunes, then transfer them to your iPad or iPod Touch or even watch them on the computer.
Netflix recently updated their subscription services to separate streaming movies and disc-by-mail in an effort to force people into choosing one or the other, or paying higher prices to keep both. With the U.S. Postal Service's recent announcement that they are looking into whether or not to close nearly 3,700 locations across the U.S., this could be a move by Netflix to start breaking away from their dependence on the postal system.
CD sales have been in decline for years. It's easier to download entire albums on iTunes in just a few minutes, than go to your local store and dig through the shelves until you find what you need. You may need an optical drive to rip your old CD's into iTunes, but haven't you already done that?
- slide 4 of 6
Why Wait for a Disc?
Microsoft has a feature called 'Windows Anytime Upgrade' where you can go online and purchase a higher grade version of Windows for your machine and run the upgrade without having to use any discs. Companies like Adobe also offer downloadable software services so you can pay online and begin downloading immediately. Antivirus software makers offers the same functionality so customers won't have lapses in service. Who wants to wait for a CD or DVD to arrive in the mail when you can start downloading as soon as the payment clears?
PC gaming has taken big strides in forcing users to rely on online content, makeing users maintain active Internet connections while playing and registering games online. Services like Steam allow you to login via a client and download the game to your PC, and having the game disk will only help to speed up the one-time install process. After that, you don't have to worry about keeping discs in the drive or even swapping them mid-game.
- slide 5 of 6
CD/DVD Shelf Life
Did you know that a CD or DVD full of family photos that you burned to disc five years ago may already be halfway dead? The average shelf life of a CD-R is only ten years, give or take, depending on brand and quality. You might one day break out those old discs and be in for a rude awakening.
Optical media will fail over time just because the medium itself is fragile. It's susceptible to scratches, heat, compression and a variety of other deadly forces. I've bought DVD movies that slipped off of the little holder inside the case and it caused some scratches on the surface of the disc. I've even cracked a disc in half one time when it wouldn't come out of the stiff plastic and I pulled up on it too hard.
We recently had an issue with the only known copy of some ancient training program CD that someone was trying to use. We went round and round with compatibility mode issues and even tried another computer, then we discovered that the disc itself was bad. You could view the files on the disc, but it would throw CRC errors if you tried to copy one main installer file to the hard drive. Trying to open the installer just gave a 'This is not a valid Win32 application' error.
Optical discs are going the way of the cassette. They wear out over time and are not reliable, plus you have to store them somewhere and that takes up space. With high speed Internet access and things like cloud storage making it so easy to safely backup data, the idea of keeping stacks of CD's or DVD's around is quickly becoming obsolete. I congratulate Apple on making this push forward and I hope more computer manufacturer's follow suit.

This book argues that the history and character of modern anthropology has been egregiously distorted to the detriment of this intellectual pursuit and academic discipline. The qcritique of anthropologyq is a product of the momentous and tormented events of the 1960s when students and some of their elders cried, qTrust no one over thirty!q The Marxist, postmodern, and postcolonial waves that followed took aim at anthropology and the result has been a serious loss of confidence; both the reputation and the practice of anthropology has suffered greatly. The time has come to move past this damaging discourse. Herbert S. Lewis chronicles these developments, and subjects the qcritiqueq to a long overdue interrogation based on wide-ranging knowledge of the field and its history, as well as the application of common sense. The book questions discourses about anthropology and colonialism, anthropologists and history, the problem of qexoticizing 'the Other, 'q anthropologists and the Cold War, and more. Written by a master of the profession, In Defense of Anthropology will require consideration by all anthropologists, historians, sociologists of science, and cultural theorists.As a formal discipline anthropology is relatively young. The first department of anthropology in the United States to emphasize cultural and social aspects of human behavior and to grant a PhD degree was established by Franz Boas atanbsp;...

Description of Research
Eukaryotic cells are compartmentalized into distinct membrane-bound organelles and vesicular structures, each with its own characteristic function and set of protein constituents. Work in my laboratory is focused on understanding how integral membrane protein complexes are assembled and sorted to the appropriate compartments within the late secretory and endocytic pathways, how sorting and assembly contribute to the biogenesis of specific organelles in several cell types, how these processes impact biological function in the pigmentary, blood clotting, and immune systems, and how they are thwarted by generally rare genetic diseases.
Our primary focus over the past 18 years has been on melanosomes of pigmented cells. Melanosomes are unique lysosome-related organelles present only in cells that make melanin, the major synthesized pigment in mammals. Genetic defects in melanosome constituents or in their delivery to nascent melanosomes result in ocular or oculocutaneous albinism, characterized by lack of pigmentation in the eyes and or skin and concomitant visual impairment and susceptibility to skin and ocular cancers. Melanosomes are among a number of tissue-specific lysosome-related organelles that are malformed and dysfunctional in a group of rare heritable disorders, including Hermansky-Pudlak and Chediak-Higashi syndromes, and pigment cell-specific proteins that localize to melanosomes are targets for the immune system in patients with melanoma. In an effort to understand the molecular basis of these diseases, we are dissecting the molecular mechanisms that regulate how different stage melanosomes are formed and integrated with the endosomal pathway. We use biochemical, morphological, and genetic approaches to follow the fates of melanosome-specific and ubiquitous endosomal and lysosomal proteins within pigment cells from normal individuals or mice and disease models. Using these approaches, we are (1) outlining protein transport pathways that lead to the formation of these unusual organelles, (2) dissecting biochemical pathways that lead to their morphogenesis, and (3) defining how these processes are subverted by genetic disease. Current efforts focus on how factors that are deficient in patients and mouse models of the genetic disease, Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, impact melanosome biogenesis. We are particularly interested in how these factors contribute to the formation and dynamics of tubular connections between endosomes and maturing melanosomes that facilitate cargo transport, as well as the formation of retrograde membrane carriers that retrieve unneeded proteins from melanosomes.
Because genetic diseases like Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome affect multiple organ systems, we study how similar sorting processes involved in melanosome biogenesis influence other organelles in different cell types. The first involves lysosome-related organelles in platelets called dense granules and alpha granules. When platelets are activated at sites of blood vessel damage, the contents of these granules are released, leading to optimal blood clot formation and platelet activation. Like melanosomes, dense granules are malformed in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, and in collaboration with the Poncz, Stalker and French laboratories at CHOP and Penn we are studying how dense granule contents are delivered within platelets and their precursors (megakaryocytes). Studies in collaboration with the Poncz and French labs also address the contents and secretion of alpha granules and their disruption in human bleeding disorders.
The second cellular system is the dendritic cell, a master regulator of T cell-mediated immunity. Patients with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type 2 have recurrent bacterial infections, and we have found that this is at least in part due to defects in the way that dendritic cells sense bacterial infection. Normally, ingested bacteria trigger signaling by innate immune receptors present on the membrane enclosing the bacteria (the phagosome); this signaling is defective in dendritic cells from a mouse model of the disease due to impaired recruitment of the receptors and their signaling platforms. Ongoing studies aim to dissect how phagosome membrane dynamics normally lead to signaling and how this is altered in disease states.
Finally, melanosome precursors in pigment cells harbor intrernal fibrils upon which melanins deposit in later stages. The main component of these fibrils is a pigment cell-specific protein, PMEL. Fibrils formed by PMEL in vitro display features common with amyloid formed in disease states such as Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases. By dissecting how PMEL forms amyloid under physiological conditions, we hope to determine how the formation of "good" and "bad" amyloid differs and thus how the formation of "bad" amyloid might be controlled.
Rotation Projects for 2015-2016
1. Define metal import defects in melanocytes from mouse models of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome types 7-9.
2. Assess the role of Sec1/Munc18 family members in regulating melanosome biogenesis.
3. Assess how the coat protein, AP-3, cooperates with BLOC-1 to facilitate SNARE trafficking to melanosomes, and how defects in AP-3 influence autophagy in melanocytes.
4. Assess phosphoinositide distribution during phagosome maturation in dendritic cells.
5. Test for anterograde and retrograde trafficking defects in dendritic cells and macrophages from Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome model mice.
