RICHMOND, Va.- The memories are crystal clear, even if the details are not. Clyde "the Glide" Austin is the earliest, dribbling near midcourt in the old University Hall, trying to break a frenetic Terry Holland press that was wreaking havoc with the favored NC State Wolfpack. Austin threw an ill-advised pass into traffic that was batted out of bounds by a Virginia player. Might have been Billy Langloh. Doesn't really matter.
"Wasn't that off of us?" I asked my dad.
"I think it was. It was pretty obvious," he said. "Sometimes officials make mistakes, and sometimes they go your way."
While some of the details are now fuzzy, I distinctly remember the energy in the building and the cheer-murmur-cheer-murmur of the crowd when the official pointed Virginia's direction.
Lesson number one.
Here's what we're going to do: I'm joining Robby "Blocked Blocked Blocked Blocked" Robinson on VCU basketball broadcasts as his new color analyst. I'll also extend the already-incredible coverage of VCU basketball by the broadcast team, Scott Day, and Chris Kowalczyk with deeper thoughts and analysis as our inaugural A10 season unfolds.
For those who don't know me, here's a brief background, at least the basketball part: grew up with season tickets to that school in Charlottesville, and we spent many hours traversing route 220 and interstate 40 watching ACC basketball. My father was a successful high school coach, so I was exposed to thinking about basketball since before I remember thinking about basketball. I was the 11th best player on a 12-man high school basketball team, but I maintain JJ Redick was the second best shooter to ever come from Cave Spring High School. One day I'll tell you the story of midnight in the Robins Center, raining threes wearing flip flops. I'll also tell you about then-VCU pitching coach Paul Keyes cutting me from the baseball team, inexplicably unimpressed with my 76mph fastball.
VCU basketball has been a way of life since I was on campus in the late 1980s. I attended every game I could manage, and covered the team for a brief period for the Commonwealth Times. In fact it was my passion for VCU basketball that got me started on the book Cinderella. For eight years I chronicled VCU in the CAA through CAAHoops.com. I won't say my coverage was better, but the goal was to always be smarter and more thoughtful.
|What They're Saying:
"We're very excited about the addition of Mike Litos to our broadcast team. I really appreciate the high level of enthusiasm and preparation he'll bring to VCU Basketball. My staff and I are really looking forward to working with Mike."Robby Robinson, Ram Radio Play-By-Play:
"Coach Ellis obviously leaves some big shoes to fill but I feel this is an absolute coup' to get someone with Mike's knowledge, talent and history with VCU Basketball as a part of the RamRadio broadcast team. He's truly a walking encyclopedia of Ram hoops and it is awesome that we cao tap into that each time we take the air."
"The one thing that struck me when talking to Mike about it is how much he really wanted to be a part of the broadcast team. Make no mistake about it, he loves VCU Basketball. He's one of us."
"I truly believe by the first deadball timeout of our first broadcast our fans will already have a comfort level with Mike on the radio and will be relying on him to provide the indepth analysis they are used to receiving."
Ed McLaughlin, Director of Athletics:
"Having a network quality broadcast of our men's basketball games fits into my vision for the athletic department. My first contact with Mike was about a month ago, right after I was named the AD here. He immediately impressed me with his knowledge of college athletics and how it was obviously that he really prepared for the interview. I'm confident that the new "Robby and Mike" will pick up where the old "Robby and Mike" left off.
For those who do know me, you can expect more of the same, only with a laser-sharp VCU focus.
I like to think my view is that of yours. I've been in the seats and yelled at Mike Eades and Sean Hull. I've wondered what an opponent is shooting from the foul line in the last four minutes of a game. However I have the added ingredient of being fortunate enough to hang around locker rooms and practices and talk to coaches about what motivates them and is truly important in their eyes. The Xs and Os are not unfamiliar to me.
But here's the deal: this isn't about me. This is about the basketball program and the 14 players and the coaching staff. They are what matters, and its my job to bring the game and people--the stories and the analysis--closer to you.
It's about hugging my girlfriend to a near tackle that would send us down HSBC Arena steps (and probably to the emergency room) the moment The Dagger went down. It's Mike Freaking Doles on senior day. Kendrick Warren and Calvin Duncan and Len Creech. It's Shaka Smart staring at the lips of a Florida State assistant, realizing they know the inbounds play he is going to call, so he changes his play and the next thing we know it's Rodriguez to Burgess. It's about jumping into the car, the night before the NCAA tourney game against Wake, and driving to Greensboro with no tickets and no hotel room.
It's March 2011. Every bit of it.
Its also about the tough memories. They are a big part of the fabric of why we love this game and this program. That 1988 Sun Belt final against UNCC, when Dan Plondke and Byron Dinkins made every shot--EVERY SHOT--in the last eight minutes to beat us. I'll go to my grave with those two names etched in my mind. Or Bashir Mason, nearly sitting in Terry Sisisky's lap, banking one in at the buzzer. Tommie Eddie, another name I'll take to the grave, making his only collegiate three pointer.
But that's just what got us to this point. Life is a journey, not a destination, said Ralph Waldo Emerson.
This year, right now, we make more memories. We continue the journey together.
I can't wait.

Hello Captain Awkward team!
Since I started college, my mother has been driving me crazy regarding calls home. Specifically, the frequency of my calls home. I am introverted and don't express attachment and affection openly. In the beginning of college, if I didn't call every single day to reassure her I was not dead in a ditch somewhere, she'd go crazy. If I don't pick up the phone when she calls within the 3rd ring, she thinks I'm ignoring her. She once even called campus police to report me as missing, all because I took a prolonged sleep to recover from an allnighter and didn't think it was that big of a deal to call her! She's gotten a lot better now but calls every 2 to 3 days is still very demanding for me, especially during midterms when I barely even have time to eat.
If I don't call her for a week, she'll get angry and then refuse to pick up her phone when I do call. So then, I don't bother to call her (it's immature behavior in my opinion) until she caves in and calls me, all upset because "You don't love me anymore and don't call me!" Gee I wonder why. I told her to get texting (she doesn't have it) or check her email since I like reading over talking but she says those mediums aren't good because "They aren't as human as talking on the phone. Also, if you were kidnapped, texts and emailed could be falsified by your kidnappers so I won't call the police in time to save you!"
I'd rather be able to call her once a week, which is more reasonable for my schedule. She, however, sees this as me not appreciating and loving her anymore. She has a great fear of being a failure as a mother (I'm the eldest child) since she had a horrible relationship with her own mother. I've tried to reason with her but she just complains and whines about how I don't love her enough to take the effort to call her. Her solutions are also ridiculous; she suggested I call her every time I use the bathroom, which is gross to me and a bad idea for a klutz who has dropped phones into the toilet multiple times.
It doesn't help very much that I hardly see her since my school is far away. She also doesn't understand I don't run in crowds that would likely get me kidnapped. Since I am currently going through a bout of being ignored, do you have any suggestions for improving the situation once she gives in and calls me?
Hello, Tired Introvert:
First, being introverted and "preferring not to express attachment and affection openly" are two different things.

Taken out of the context of video editing, this machine looks like little more than a cynical excuse to extract money from unsuspecting pockets using clever design. It's one of Sony's key marketing tactics: build something brilliantly beautiful yet distressingly pedestrian, then charge the world for it.
Even placed in context - with its HD-processing video card, 1TB hard drives, quad-core processor and included jog wheel - the RM1N seems like a very expensive way to do things.
It's perfectly efficient in terms of video editing, and the inclusion of the full version of Adobe Premiere Pro certainly adds a modicum of value to the package, but the peripherals are universally a bit cheap. Although the keyboard and speakers are pretty acceptable, the jog wheel is flimsy and the oddly shaped mouse feels cheap.
This is a machine which should be using premium parts. Instead, we get a lower end Nvidia 8600 handling the graphics, and no included monitor? Excuse us while we look mildly disappointed.

Budget Big-Block Bonanza
When most of us imagine our favorite Mopar street engine, we generally tend to think of stroker big-blocks, small-blocks, or Hemis as being the best choice for big power. And while huge displacement and big torque numbers make for impressive dyno sheets and imposing burnouts, there are also disadvantages to building a huge engine for the street. Fist, the parts for a large-displacement V-8 engine are expensive so the cost per cubic inch can grow exponentially as displacement rises. Second, the big torque produced by large-displacement engines is often way more than the car's drivetrain, suspension, and traction can stand, resulting in tire spin and broken parts while being outrun from a stoplight by a 318 Duster. And third, as we've shown in the 2011 AMSOIL/Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge, when it comes to horsepower per cubic inch, smaller engines seem to have an advantage.
Each year of our annual dyno contest, we challenge engine builders from around the country to build powerful Mopar engines that can run on Rockett Brand 93 octane unleaded gasoline, while staying within the rules of our competition. This year, we featured the big-block Chrysler, and engine builders had to remain within a parts budget of $5,500 to avoid a stiff penalty of ten horsepower per every $100 over the budget. The winner of the 2011 contest will be determined by the engine making the highest horsepower per cubic inch, while remaining within our allotted budget and the official rules, which are outlined on our website, www.moparmusclemagazine.com. We were impressed with the creativity of this year's competitors, resulting in a wide variety of parts used by the engine builders to create their big-blocks.
In last month's issue, we gave you the details about the dyno pulls of the four engines that were run on Monday and Tuesday during our week of competition, and this month we'll highlight the engines that ran on Wednesday and Thursday. And while this year's contest wasn't without incident, causing the LaRoy Engines entry to be run out of the pre-determined sequence, all of the engines featured in this month's issue made their dyno pulls thanks to the help and generosity of the other competitors and the staff at Comp Cams.
HP Engines
Norwood, North Carolina
We try to feature a variety of professional engine shops in our annual dyno contest, and were impressed by the engine entered by H P Engines of Norwood, North Carolina. As a foundation for his big-block, engine builder Hollis Page chose a factory Chrysler 400 block and a stock 383 forged crankshaft for a displacement of 406 cubic inches. Using Eagle connecting rods and Icon forged, flat-top pistons, the necessary machine work was performed in-house by Brett Gibson and Hollis himself, then the engine was assembled by engine builder David Kluttz using Edelbrock heads, an Edelbrock intake, a Bullet flat-tappet camshaft and Harland Sharp rocker arms. Appearing to have stayed within budget, this is a solid big-block built with quality parts.
On Comp's Superflow engine dyno, the H P Engines entry fired immediately and sounded crisp during its warm up period. Needing to make three qualifying dyno pulls during a 45-minute qualifying session, engine builders Hollis Page and David Kluttz set the timing at 36 degrees total advance and made their qualifying pulls back to back before checking valve lash and increasing the jet size in their Holley 950 HP carburetor. During their judged session, the 406-inch big-block was revved to 7,300 rpm and jet size was again increased. On their second scored pull, the H P Engines entry made its best power of 608 horsepower at 7,300 rpm, for a factor of 1.50 horsepower per cubic inch. With time left in their session, the H P Engines team performed an intake swap to a tunnel-ram, but the engine actually lost a little power, a testament to the team's initial combination.
Prism Racing
Conyers, Georgia
Located in Conyers, Georgia, Prism Racing is a full-service performance shop and offers a variety of services including fuel injection installation, a chassis dyno, and E-85 conversions, and specializes in modifying Mopar race and street cars. Utilizing the same theory as several of our competitors, engine builder Darren Tedder chose a factory 400 block and forged 383 crankshaft, combined with Ross forged pistons and Eagle rods, to form a tough short block. Topped with fully ported 440 Source "Stealth" cylinder heads, this engine utilized a variety of stock and economical aftermarket parts, saving Prism Racing enough budget to utilize a Comp Cams solid-roller camshaft and lifters.
Making their first pull of the qualifying session to the 7,000 rpm required by our rules, Prism's 406-inch big-block made over 605 horsepower right at the end of the pull, indicating to us that it had more potential. After jetting the carburetor up then back down, Darren and the crew from Prism Racing cooled their engine and removed the air-hat from the carb, ready to make their minimum of three scored pulls. Before the first scored pull, engine builder Darren Tedder instructed Comp's dyno operator to "pull the engine to 8,100" like it was no big deal. We're sure many in the room were doubtful of the outcome, but the big-block made a strong pull at nearly 641 horsepower. Quickly calculating the power he'd need to beat the current leader, T & B'z Race Engines, Darren added two degrees of ignition timing and made his second pull to 8,200 rpm. Making a peak of 647 horsepower at the top of the rpm band, Prism Racing ended up with a factor of 1.593 horsepower per cubic inch, which was enough to take the lead.
Knowing the rules required a minimum of three dyno pulls from 3,000 to 7,000 rpm during the judged session, Prism made another quick pull to 7,000 rpm to take the contest lead. With that goal accomplished, another pull was made on the engine to attempt an even better horsepower number, but unfortunately a rocker arm issue caused a power loss, and couldn't be repaired in the allotted time. Even so, we congratulate Prism Racing on their impressive performance as they look to be a contender so long as their big-block is under budget.
LaRoy Engines
Challis, Idaho
The LaRoy entry was supposed to run after HP Performance, but an unfortunate accident caused an issue with the engine and it had to be run out of sequence. During LaRoy's first attempted dyno session a dyno water valve was inadvertently left in the off position, causing the engine to run without water. Though brief, the heat did its damage and caused several exhaust valve guides to migrate in the cylinder head, bending several push rods as well. Fortunately, with the help of the staff at Comp, the team of T&B'z, and even the Mopar Muscle crew, the LaRoy's got the engine disassembled and made field repairs, enabling them to make their required dyno pulls. Although power was undoubtedly compromised due to the problem and subsequent repair method, we were glad to see the team of LaRoy Engines not only make their pulls, but make contest-leading power as well.
It's no secret that making power requires the proper combination of parts, and that cylinder-head flow is critical to that combination. The LaRoy family understands that concept well, and their business, LaRoy Engines, specializes in Mopar cylinder heads. For their entry in this year's contest, engine builder Jim LaRoy chose a factory 440 block, combined with a 440 Source 4.150-inch stroke forged crankshaft, 440 Source 6.76 length connecting rods, and Ross forged pistons, netting a displacement of some 500 cubic inches. Jim's son Cody ported a set of 906 factory cylinder heads to flow a claimed 340 cfm on the intake side, and they were fitted with Manley stainless steel valves and Manley springs. An Erson solid roller camshaft and Comp lifters were utilized, and an Indy single-plane intake and Demon carburetor handled induction.
With the LaRoy engine bolted to Comp's dyno for the second time, the engine fired up and sounded healthy during the initial warm up period. Setting the ignition timing at a conservative 32 degrees, the LaRoys systematically completed four pulls during their qualifying session, netting additional power with each pull by changing the ignition timing and carburetor jetting. During their judged dyno pulls, the LaRoys increased jet sizes again before installing colder spark plugs and advancing the ignition timing to 40 degrees total advance. The 500-inch big-block made its highest power number of 730 horsepower on its fifth pull, for a rating of 1.46 horsepower per cubic inch. Considering the circumstances, this is an awesome power number for an engine fed through "cooked" factory cast-iron 906 cylinder heads and running on 93 octane gasoline. We know plenty of race engines with aftermarket heads that would like to achieve numbers like these, and congratulate the LaRoys for making the highest horsepower and torque of the 2011 AMSOIL/Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge.

Roadster Diner
Retro American diner chain
Branches:Ashrafieh, Jal El Dib, Downtown, Jounieh, CityMall, Hamra, ABC Dbayeh, Le Mall - Sin el Fil, Verdun
Price:Between 10$ and 25$
Review by Jean
This diner chain offers a choice of dishes like salads, burgers, fajitas, platters, etc. The service is generally correct, but you have to be used to call the waiters when you're ready to order or need something, because it's a busy place and you may not be noticed easily. The ambiance is retro, with Elvis portraits and old photos of US diners and old American music.
Notice that Roadster diner can be particularly appreciated by some for its non-smoking zone and by others for its low calories menu.
Ashrafieh's branch has a nice terrace.Write a Review
Burgers, sandwiches, pastas and American food.
Suitable for vegetarians. Serves alcohol.
Good to know
Has a non-smoking area.

Sep 20, 2010 at 19:35I'd recommend you to domiciliate your salary at one of the branches. This is how good the food and the service are.They are always busy but you can see that they strive to give you a good experience every time you visit them.Hats down for the best diner in town.
Aug 12, 2010 at 13:12Best place in Lebanon!
Jun 19, 2011 at 18:16roadster is such an expensive place to dine
Aug 28, 2012 at 09:31The problem of Roasdster is that the service and the quality of food differ from one branch to another. In my point of view, the best branch is the one of Jal El Dib and the worst is the one of Down Town.
Jul 14, 2010 at 20:03The greatest diner in Lebanon, but they have much more branches to contact!!!
May 10, 2012 at 17:49Expensive but worth all the money I spend...
Nov 26, 2010 at 20:20Roadster is simply PERFECT!!!!!! Taste, prices, protion, variety in menus, service, cleanliness, customer service, parking are all excellent, I go there at least once a week. Even though Roadster has found an incomparable success among the Lebanese population, it managed to maintain its core values, even after expanding aaannnnd... it's still only in Lebanon. Please keep up the great work Roadster, they really earned their customers' loyalty and respect, they honestly deserve it. One last thing i have to stress again about the impeccable hygiene in these restaurants, chapeau!

Vidor mayoral candidate arrested for PI in Orange
Vidor city councilman and mayoral candidate Trey Haney could be in trouble in his bid to replace incumbent Ken Crawford after a public intoxication arrest in Orange over the weekend.
According to a police report from the Orange Police Department, on Sunday, April 28 at approximately 4:42 a.m., Officer Corey Foreman was dispatched to the south service road at the Adams Bayou Turnaround in reference to a vehicle parked in the lane of traffic there. Foreman reported he observed a red Chevrolet Tahoe parked in the outside lane of the Interstate 10 service road. At that time, Foreman reportedly made contact with a man who was sleeping in the driver's seat of the SUV. The man woke up and identified himself as Haney, according to the report.
Foreman described Haney's appearance as "disoriented and confused." Foreman reported when he asked Haney where he came from, he replied "the road," and when asked if he knew where he was, stated "my house." Foreman then asked Haney to step out of the vehicle and walk toward the officer's patrol car. Foreman reported he observed Haney swayed while walking, and had glassy, bloodshot eyes. Foreman stated in the report that when speaking to the subject, he detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage and Haney's speech was slow and slurred.
"Due to Haney's poor balance, glassy bloodshot eyes, slow slurred speech and the odor of alcoholic beverage emitting from his person, I believed Haney was intoxicated…I believe, if left alone Haney would be a danger to himself or others."
Haney was arrested for class C misdemeanor public intoxication and transported to the Orange County Jail. He was later released on $500 bond.
This was not Haney's first arrest related to alcohol consumption. Haney was arrested July 25, 2009 for driving while intoxicated, a class B misdemeanor.
In an interview with The Examiner in 2011, Haney admitted he had done wrong but swore he had turned over a new leaf.
"I make mistakes like anybody else," Haney said in 2011 regarding the DWI charge he faced in 2009. "Anybody who hasn't made a mistake, they can go vote against me because of that. I regret it, and it's never happened since."
A call to Haney regarding the incident had not yet been returned as of April 29.

Artist, educator, biochemist and more...learn about longtime ASBMB member Richard Hanson.
Cleveland may be a fairly big city, but even amongst its masses, Richard W. Hanson sometimes finds it hard to hide.
"I often joke around that it is impossible to have an affair in this town and keep it a secret," says Hanson, who, incidentally, has been married happily for nearly 50 years. "Quite often, someone comes up to me and says, 'Hi, Dr. Hanson, do you remember me? I took your class back in so-and-so year.'"
"In fact, I visited a proctologist recently who turned out to be one of my former students."
The class in question is an introductory biochemistry course, which Hanson, when he's not hard at work in the lab elucidating the physiological role and regulation of the metabolic enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, has taught at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland for more than 30 years now. Each year, more than 230 students enroll in the biochemistry course, and, each year, almost all of them leave happily— and more knowledgeable about biochemistry than when they started.
To understand the secret behind these positive reviews— Hanson's classes routinely are the highest rated each year— one needs only to consider one of his favorite authors, William Shakespeare. (Hanson regularly quotes the Bard in his writings, and even has an iPhone app with Shakespeare's complete works.) For, if "all the world's a stage," then that includes university auditoriums.
"He views teaching biochemistry as theater," says William Merrick, Hanson's longtime colleague in the biochemistry department. "Once he comes in, the show begins."
Not only does his teaching style help students understand a complex subject that most fear and only take because the course is a requirement, but it keeps Hanson spirited as well. "My colleagues often ask me if I get tired of teaching the same material over and over again, and I say never, for every class is different, and every year is different; it is always a challenge to have students leave your course feeling that they actually understand biochemistry and to tell you it was their favorite course."
"In my view, there are two types of teachers, 'simplifiers' and 'complicators,'" he continues. "The latter take a complicated subject and make it more complicated. I am a simplifier, always concerned about the complexities of the biochemistry, and I try to make the subject clear to the students; this approach has worked very well for me over the years."
He employs a similar style in lab, always looking to simplify matters and be as supportive as possible, and, with those modest guidelines, he has successfully shepherded more than 80 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows onward in their careers. He obviously has had some success in this regard, since his first graduate student, Shirley M. Tilghman, is the current president of Princeton University.
And, this has made Hanson one of Case Western Reserve University's most celebrated educators; he has won numerous awards for his teaching and service, including the Hovorka Prize, one of the university's highest awards, and was recently appointed a "Distinguished University Professor," an honor that he shares with only six other current members of the university faculty. And, this month, the university will honor Hanson's career in the lab and classroom with a special one-day symposium in his name.
However, official honors take a back seat to the personal acknowledgements from former students. "When I began my career in science, I thought that the most important thing that I would do was research, but, as I grow older, I realize that the greatest contribution that anyone can make in our society is to be a positive influence on the lives of those you teach," he says. The fact that so many people still remember me and my course is touching, because it means that, in some small way, I have made a positive impact on their lives and careers. So, truthfully, some of the best things I hear start with, 'Do you remember…?'"
Part of Hanson's dedication to teaching comes from remembering his own experiences; he notes he was fortunate to have several valuable mentors during his educational period— which, if you ask him, is still continuing.
It all started at high school in New Jersey in the 1950s, when his biology teacher, Sister Mary Cephus, helped instill a passion about the life sciences into a bright-eyed adolescent boy.
A pivotal moment, though, occurred at the next step in his education. Coming from a modest background, Hanson did not have much money for college, but, he found a great opportunity at Northeastern University in Boston, which offered a cooperative work program; students went to school for half of the year and then worked the other half to pay for it.
Hanson ended up working as a technician in the laboratory of Peter Bernfeld at Tufts University School of Medicine and experienced firsthand the many facets of biochemical research; these included science's frustrations, but also the joys, such as the publication of his first-ever journal article in 1960, in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
"That was a proud moment," recalls Hanson, "because, in what was the golden age of biochemistry, I was a co-author on a paper that was published in the most prestigious biochemistry journal."
In addition to his exceptional work in the lab and lecture hall, Hanson also is known for his work as an artist (as illustrated above and on our cover). As typical, Hanson takes a more modest view of his abstract drawings, which developed from his penchant for doodling during meetings and seminars; "I see it as a sickness I have that every once in a while results in something nice to look at," he says. Hanson, though, is certainly appreciative of art in general, and, over the years has bought many pieces from local Cleveland artists and put them up in the biochemistry building. As Merrick likes to joke, "he's established a lovely gallery here consisting of all the art his wife wouldn't let him take home."
In fact, Hanson became committed to the JBC over the years, a reflection of his loyal nature. He would serve on the journal's editorial board for 10 years before becoming an associate editor, a post he has held since 1985. A longtime member of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Hanson also has given exceptional service to the society as a whole, including serving as ASBMB president from 1999 to 2000 (during which time he helped usher in the society's third journal, Molecular and Cellular Proteomics).
And, whenever his research produces exciting biochemical discoveries, Hanson, who never got caught up in the pressure of trying to continually publish in Science or Nature— he sees them more as magazines that publish what is trendy and exciting at the moment— always immediately thinks about publishing the findings in the JBC.
And, that has led to frequent contributions over the years (more than 90 articles in all, including many reviews), for, while remaining true to the JBC, Hanson also has remained true to his science. Though he's adapted his studies to make use of new advances, he's always been a basic biochemist at heart.
"I've had a lifelong love affair with metabolism," he says. "And, even with the ups and downs of the field, I've never thought of doing anything else."
The romance began in 1960. Following his graduation from Northeastern University, Hanson headed to Rhode Island and began graduate school at Brown University, joining Paul F. Fenton's group in the department of biology. He had met one of Fenton's recent graduates while working with Bernfeld and had heard positive reviews, so, he decided that studying under Fenton would be a good choice.
"I tell my students that life is like walking down a road and reaching a fork," Hanson says. "You don't quite know where either path will take you, and it is often very difficult to go back once you choose one of the forks in the road, so each decision is important."
In Hanson's case, the seemingly innocuous decision of picking an adviser would lead to a decades-long journey elucidating the details of intermediary metabolism, or, as Hanson likes to describe it, "a series of happy accidents that were superimposed on each other."
He started this accidental adventure with his graduate project comparing the metabolic differences in two strains of mice that differed in their propensity to develop obesity, a subject that would become one of great interest in the current era of molecular genetics. He then continued studying lipid metabolism as an officer at the Army's Nutrition Laboratory in Denver. That experience, followed by his subsequent postdoctoral fellowship at the Fels Research Institute at Temple University, beginning in 1965 with renowned biochemist and cancer researcher Sidney Weinhouse, really would launch his career.
Under the tutelage of another supportive mentor, and in a lab full of great colleagues, Hanson first began working on the protein that would become his calling card: phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, better known as "PEPCK."
The enzyme, which is involved in glucose production, along with the related enzyme pyruvate carboxylase recently had been discovered by Merton F. Utter in the department of biochemistry at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine— where, in another happy accident, Hanson would end up moving in 1978 to become chairman of the department— and Hanson was examining their role in the initiation of glucose homeostasis in developing rat livers. Along the way, he and colleague John Ballard had, surprisingly, found PEPCK in adipose tissue, which seemed bizarre, as adipocytes do not make glucose.
Soon, together with Gilbert Leveille and their longtime collaborator Lea Reshef, they realized that PEPCK was involved in an abbreviated pathway that converted pyruvate into glycerol-3-phosphate for triglyceride synthesis, which was hence named glyceroneogenesis.
That discovery highlights just one example of the many wonderful collaborations Hanson has had; he likes to note that the numerous excellent scientists he has worked with have given him much more than he has given back. He especially acknowledges Reshef, an Israeli scientist who worked closely with him for more than 30 years, studying the factors that control PEPCK-C gene transcription. "Lea has been a wonderful collaborator; I am not a molecular biologist, so I owe a great deal of my success in studying gene expression to her insights," he says. "She was full of ideas and always willing to share with me her vision and enthusiasm for studying PEPCK-C."
Following that 1967 glyceroneogenesis breakthrough, which resulted in a paper in the JBC's Classics series, Hanson began a fruitful series of studies on the factors that regulate the levels of PEPCK-C in mammalian tissues; he and his colleagues isolated the genes for both the cytosolic (PEPCK-C) and mitochondrial (PEPCK-M) forms of the enzyme and began focusing on the hormonal and dietary factors that affected PEPCK-C gene transcription. He never wavered in his pursuits, even as the prominence of metabolism gave way to the era of molecular biology, though he commented that at times it made funding more difficult to come by.
During the past decade, though, partially spurred by the rise in interest in the causes of obesity and diabetes, metabolism studies have made a very strong comeback. This certainly came as a welcome turn of events to Hanson, at least until he found himself thrust right in the middle of the metabolic resurgence.
Going back to his graduate school days, Hanson had significant experience with animal models as tools to understand metabolic function and, over the years, had developed strains of mice in which PEPCK was either deleted or overexpressed in specific tissues. For example, in 2002, in collaboration with Reshef and her student Yael Olswang, they found that ablating PEPCK-C gene expression specifically in adipose tissue produced lipodystrophy in many affected mice, validating the enzyme's central role in adipose-tissue glyceroneogenesis.
As a follow-up, in 2007, Hanson, together with his longtime colleague Parvin Hakimi, decided to generate mice in which PEPCK-C was overexpressed in skeletal muscle, another tissue like adipose tissue that has PEPCK-C activity but does not synthesize glucose. "I didn't know exactly what to expect," Hanson says, "but I was pretty sure these mice would only have subtle changes in their metabolic profile; boy, was I in for a shock."
These PEPCK-Cmus mice turned out to have a dramatic phenotype, which included exceptional endurance (they could run on a treadmill 30 times as long as a regular mouse), hyperactivity even at advanced ages and lean, muscular bodies despite eating twice as much as normal. They also displayed incredible longevity, with one female reaching more than 4.5 years of age (typical lab mice live 2–3 years), though Hanson notes they didn't quite break the record and win the Methuselah Prize for the longest-living mouse (which, for the curious, currently stands at 1819 days).
It's a scientifically fascinating discovery, the mechanistic basis of which his lab currently is trying to unravel, and, not surprisingly, one that produced intense media interest as well, much to Hanson's chagrin. "It was nonstop action for a while; I think our video of the mice running on the treadmill got more than 300,000 hits in the first few weeks after the study came out, not to mention all of the interview requests I received, even a few from documentary film producers who wanted to include our mouse video in movies about athletic performance and potential sports doping."
The attention was a bit too much for the modest scientist, a man who says that "he never wants to work at a university where he is the smartest; it's surely not a good place to work!"
"It was wonderful that our lab and the university received some positive attention, but, at the same time, this kind of sensational news worries me as a scientist, because we still are far away from developing performance-enhancing treatments in humans, and we really do not understand the factors that lead to the phenotype we observe with these mice."
He often quotes the famous dictum of Euripides that was modified by Sidney Brenner in his review of the book by James D. Watson, "Avoid Boring People," "Whom the gods would destroy, they first expose to the public press."
Considering that Richard Hanson still is going strong with his teaching, research and editorial duties at 75 years of age, one might suspect that he shares some genetic traits with his PEPCK-Cmus mice.
However, Hanson admits things don't get easier as one gets older and already is preparing for the next fork in the road of life. He's getting ready to close up his lab and officially will become an emeritus professor in 2014.
However, he plans to continue collaborative research with his friend and close colleague, Satish C. Kalhan at the Cleveland Clinic, on studies of whole-body metabolism in mammals. "I especially am interested in amino-acid metabolism, and working with Satish is a learning experience for me," he notes. In addition, he will continue to study the PEPCK-Cmus mice, which now are being used, in collaboration with Nathan A. Berger, to better understand the effect of exercise on the development of colon cancer.
And, he definitely will keep on teaching for as long as he is able; "I think Hanson could give up doing research," Merrick says, "but you would have to drag him kicking and screaming out of that classroom before he'd ever stop."
The education won't be confined to the students in his biochemistry class. Given his scientific expertise, he's going to act as a mentor-of-sorts to other scientists who are interested in the "new metabolism."
"Following the rise of molecular biology and genomics, a lot of researchers veered toward what they saw as a more exciting area of science," he explains. "And now, even though we have a revival of interest in metabolism, we have a 'lost generation' of scientists who perhaps truly don't understand many of the fundamentals of metabolism."
And, although today's scientists typically are focused on broader scientific queries than just a single enzyme or pathway, Hanson notes that PEPCK makes a fine ambassador to new science.
"Through all of our work, we've shown that PEPCK is a great example of a tightly regulated gene with tissue-specific activity, as well as differing developmental expression patterns," he says. "And, there are still many unanswered questions regarding its function."
"So, even though it's been around for a while, like me, I think PEPCK is a very modern and appealing protein."

Balboa Park institution finds power in the (art of the) people
At the Mingei, there's no talk about 2015 being a year of transformation.
You won't hear director Rob Sidner mention legacy exhibits, getting ready for the next 100 years or "taking it to the next level."
If you spend any time at the Mingei with Sidner and his staff — and apparently the board and volunteers as well — you'll repeatedly hear references to the institution's mission and "what the museum is about."
That was founder Martha Longenecker's genius: She created an organization with a tightly defined purpose, but one that also allows tremendous breadth and depth.
And she embodied the institution's mission in its name: mingei — which translates from the Japanese as "arts of the people."
Mingei International Museum
Founded: 1978 (in Balboa Park since 1996)
Mission: Dedicated to fostering the understanding of art of the people (mingei) from all cultures of the world.
Annual operating budget: $3.1 million
Chief executive: Rob Sidner (since 2005)
Staff members: 23 (full time)
Governance: 20-member board of trustees; John Seiber, chair
Few if any other museums claim that same mission, even if institutions such as the International Museum of Folk Art in Santa Fe and the American Craft Museum in New York have collections that overlap with the Mingei.
"The International Museum of Folk Art in Santa Fe comes the closest to what we do," Sidner said. "It is also an art museum, but it trends toward anthropology. We tend toward the aesthetic values and not so much the material culture.
"In our focus on objects of use from all cultures, we really think there's no other museum doing exactly what we're doing."
'Surf's Up'
The key element in understanding the Mingei is that word "use." For years, the museum has fended off numerous well-meaning proposals regarding surfboard exhibitions because they were more concerned with decoration (as in colorfully adorned surfboards).
"That's exactly what we did not want," Sidner said, "but then we met Richard."
Surfer, surf scholar and board maker Richard Kenvin — who curated a small-scale surf exhibit at San Diego's Loft 9 Gallery for the 2011, regionwide, Getty-sponsored Pacific Standard Time exhibition — has long been interested in the idea of a surf exhibition at Mingei. He had earlier approached Longenecker and in 2011 met with Sidner and Christine Knoke, the museum's director of exhibitions and chief curator.
Kenvin wasn't interested in people who tried to make surfboards into art. His passion was for the visionaries and innovators who contributed to the evolution of the surfboard. And in the craft and inspiration they applied to their task, they elevated the board into an object that could be appreciated as art.
"There is a story there, a real important story, and a story that's authentically mingei," Sidner said. "It's a solid tradition of craft and things truly being made for use with beautiful forms. It's not about decoration but truly about function in the best way."
The exhibit, with "Surf's Up" as its working title, is set to open in the early summer in 2014 and remain up into the centennial. The exhibit — which will include as many as 80 boards with a catalog written by Kenvin — will trace the history of surfboard design, from the ancient alaia boards of Hawaii through the designs of the late and legendary Bob Simmons and shaper Carl Ekstrom, and also show the evolution of skateboards and snowboards from surfboards.
It may not be a blockbuster, but the museum expects it to have wide public appeal.
"That's one reason we got excited," Knoke said. "Because we realized it would be a good way to bring something with links to popular culture into this kind of mingei discussion. Not that we struggle with that, but as Rob mentioned, we get a lot of requests from people, 'Wouldn't this be a great idea for the Mingei?' We have to make sure they kind of get what we do."
Folk art
The 2015 "Vernacular to Visionary — A Celebration of American Folk Art" exhibit, which Knoke will curate, is more characteristic in terms of content of what you might expect from the Mingei. The museum will show objects "from whirligigs and weather vanes to quilts and coverlets" in an exhibition largely taken from the permanent collection.
"In 1996, 'American Expressions of Liberty' inaugurated the Balboa Park space, and we want to take a new look at that," Knoke said. "We've been able to make some important purchases, and we've received some donations. We're really excited to see what we can do to continue that exhibition history of the vernacular."
"Made in America — Craft Icons of the 50 States" will also celebrate common items of uncommon beauty, taking articles from all 50 states that are definitive of each state's craft practices, whether an outrigger canoe from Hawaii, a quilt from Alabama or a basket from North Carolina.
"The fact that there are many communities (in North Carolina) who are collecting reeds, drying them, and making baskets in the more traditional way, that's the kind of thing we really want," Knoke said. "We are trying to find people today who are not necessarily entrenched in the old tradition, but who want to make those links to the past."
Which is another quality that quietly distinguishes the Mingei. It has plenty of artifacts in a permanent collection that has grown to more than 26,000 pieces. But the museum is also focused on showing how that tradition extends into the present day.
"Where mingei is really starting to come alive again in our country is out of our affluence and out of our leisure time," Sidner said. "People are discovering again their creativity."
Indeed, Sidner sees that as a subtext to the museum's mission — that by celebrating the art in the everyday, the museum also celebrates the art in every person.
"Our real goal is to continue to spark people's creativity, to help people — normal, everyday people — to realize that they are creative," Sidner said. "In this country, people don't believe that very much. ... We believe quite the opposite.
"What people lack is the opportunity. In preindustrial times, people were creative naturally. They had things they needed to make and they learned out of a long tradition to make things beautifully.
"In fact, they were deeply satisfying as well as truly functional."
Into other words, they were mingei.

The Lipscomb Bisons Men's Track program announced the signing of six men to the 2008-2009 team.
These are the first men's team recruits to sign with Lipscomb University under first-year head coach Bill Taylor. The six are Nathan Brame (Radford, Va.), Benton Reed (Scottsboro, Ala.), Trace Carlson (Mt. Morris, Ill.), Tylar Youngs (Kennesaw, Ga.), Chad Martin (Coppell, Texas) and Hunter Hethcoat (Franklin, Tenn.).
"I believe this men's distance recruiting class is the best in the history of the university," said Taylor. "All six men can make a major impact on our program in the near future."
The stellar group is highlighted by Brame, a four-time Virginia 1A State Champion in Cross Country and Track, having won the past two Cross Country state crowns, and the past two 1600m state titles. He will go for his third straight 1600m title this year for Radford High School and looks to improve upon two consecutive second place state finishes in the 3200m.
Brame led his Radford High School Cross Country team to their first ever team State Championship in 2007. During his four year career there his teams have progressed from 4th in 2004, 3rd in 2005, 2nd in 2006 to state championship in 2007. Along the way he has led his teams to many regional and district championships. He has earned All-State honors four times in Cross Country and six times in Track, has served as team captain for three years and has finished in the top ten all four years of state competition in Cross Country. His Personal Bests include 15:39 for 5K, 4:18 for the mile, 4:22 for the 1600m, 6:24 for 2000m Steeplechase and 2:00 for 800m (an event he hasn't run since his sophomore year).
"Nathan is a young man of high character," said Taylor. "The fact that he is a top national recruit is a bonus. He is highly competitive, expects success and has led his high school team to the highest levels they've ever seen. He has a thirst for knowledge about how to get better in this sport and has a desire to rise to the top for himself and for his team. I am very excited to work with Nathan, to help him develop as a person and as an athlete. He is going to play a gigantic role in the success of our program."
Reed has been a standout distance runner for Scottsboro High School. A three-time All-State Cross Country performer, Reed has been a contributor to four consecutive top three team finishes in the 5A state championships. In 2004 he helped his team win the Alabama 5A state title.
Likewise, on the track Reed has been a vital contributor to the history of success at Scottsboro High School as a member of six state first or second place team performances in indoor and outdoor track. In 2005 his indoor track team won the state championship and in 2005 and 2006 his outdoor track team won the state championship.
Reed won the 2007 5A Indoor State Championship for 1600m and finished third in the same event at the Outdoor State Championships. He has also won a state championship title in outdoor track as a member of the Scottsboro 2007 4x800m Relay team.
Reed also has some family history with Lipscomb University. Both his parents are Lipscomb University graduates. His Personal Bests include 16:15 for 5K, 4:31 for 1600m, and 9:56 for 3200m
"From the moment I talked to Benton I wanted him with our program," said Taylor. "He has a huge heart and is just a perfect fit for this university and for the type of program we have. I also know that he is going to be a big factor in our future success and in the continuing transformation of this program to an elite level. Like Nathan, Benton has experienced extraordinary team success and has an immense desire to be the best he can be, while impacting the teams he is a member of. He is an absolutely terrific addition to this program."
Carlson is an All-State Cross Country runner from Oregon High School. Trace finished 10th in the state 3200m as a sophomore, but lost most of his 2007 season to an injury. He roared back in Cross Country this year with another 10th place finish this past Fall. Trace has been All-State in Cross Country twice and all-Conference three times and has won the Regional Cross Country Championship twice. He also led his 2007 Cross Country team to the 2007 Regional Championship and to a tenth place state finish.
Carlson has been a team captain in Cross Country the past two years as well as being voted MVP the past two seasons. His Personal Bests include 15:20 for 3 miles, 9:45 for 3200m and 4:33 for 1600m.
"Trace is a terrific addition to our program. He's accomplished as a distance runner yet strives to rise even higher. He has a great personality and is going to be a lot of fun to be around. He will be a huge asset and will excel at the longer distances. I think he will enjoy the transition to 8000m in college Cross Country and will have great success at this level."
Youngs has been one of the top runners at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Kennesaw, Ga. A top five finisher in his past two Cross Country Regional Championships, he has also qualified for the past two State Championships.
Youngs earned most improved honors in xc in 2006 and track 2007. He has Personal Best's of 16:26 for 5K, 4:35 for 1600m and 10:48 for 3200m.
"Tyler has great character and a ton of potential. I really believe his times are just the tip of the iceberg of what he is capable of. He is yet another great fit with our program and has the opportunity to be a major contributor to the success of our programs."
Martin is a top five runner from the 5A state championship fourth place Cross Country team. A relative newcomer to the sport, Chad started Cross Country as a junior and transitioned from the pole vault to the mile for the first time that same year. Despite his lack of experience, he has posted a Personal Best of 16:48 for 5K, 10:06 for 3200m and 4:46 for 1600m.
"Chad is a great guy who will fit with the incredible environment at Lipscomb. I am very excited to see him develop as a runner as he gains more and more experience. I've coached runners like Chad, with a limited background in distance running coming out of high school, and seen amazing performances if they are willing to work hard and listen. I believe Chad will be one of those guys."
Hethcoat is a local product of Franklin High School, just a few minutes south of Nashville. He has been a top two runner on his team and finished fifth in the Regional Championships this past Fall. He has Personal Best's of 18:24 for 5K and 4:46 for 1600m.
"Hunter is such a high character and nice person," Taylor said. "From that perspective he is a perfect fit with our program. However, I have seen Hunter run and I believe he is a diamond in the rough. If he wants to run fast in college distance running, is ready to listen and work really hard, I think he is going to shock a lot of people. There is no doubt Hunter has the ability to run fast in college. I'm going to ask him to drop massive amounts of time off his personal bests during his career here. I believe he will rise to that challenge and develop into a terrific distance runner."
"This is a terrific recruiting class for us in my first year at Lipscomb. All six men have high character and great personalities. That is the foundation of our program. They also bring a lot of talent to our program. I feel especially blessed to be able to bring in a great group despite getting such a late start on recruiting (after being hired in August). This program is definitely moving forward fast. My expectation with both the men's and women's programs is that we become an elite NCAA I program. This is a big step in the right direction for that to happen."
Lipscomb University is an NCAA I school competing in the Atlantic Sun Conference. Located in Nashville, TN, the school has an enrollment of 2,800 students.
