LONGMONT -- Padding around the Denver Zoo hardly compares to summiting a so-called fourteener -- one of the 54 peaks in Colorado that jut higher than 14,000 feet.
Yet, Chuck Cooper's zoo trip in July with his wife and two of their grandkids reassured him like nothing else that his knee replacement surgeries -- the right knee on March 13 and the left knee on May 15 -- worked.
"My legs and feet were tired because I hadn't used them a lot. But my knees were pain-free for the first time in seven years," the Longmont resident said.
So, Cooper, 65, got back to the highlight of his summer -- bagging fourteeners with hiking buddy Ken Larsen.
On Sept. 2, the men plan on scaling the 14,264 feet high Mt. Evans, which sits 35 miles west of Denver near Idaho Springs in the Arapaho and Pike national forests.
Staging a comeback
However, given the bone-on-bone knee pain Cooper felt after climbing Pike's Peak with Larsen last summer, he knew he needed to stage a major comeback.
It began by becoming the first less invasive knee surgery patient of Dr. Brian Blackwood's in Colorado two weeks after the surgeon joined Mapleton Hill Orthopaedics in Boulder.
"People have heard a lot of horror stories, that it would be more painful than open heart surgery," Blackwood said. "And it's still a big surgery. But it doesn't have to be such an arduous recovery."
Blackwood's less invasive methods include making a 5-inch to 7-inch incision versus the more traditional 8-inch to 12-inch incision; starting medication before surgery to control pain and inflammation more effectively; and using a spinal anesthetic versus general anesthesia, which makes recovery easier.
"This way, ninety percent of our patients are discharged the day after surgery," Blackwood said.
From there, Cooper vowed to stick with the rigors of physical therapy and got good marks from Katie Madsen, his physical therapist at Physiotherapy Associates in Longmont.
"One of the greatest things about Chuck is that he was very determined to push through when we asked him to push through and to back off when we asked him to back off," she said.
Cooper graduated from his physical therapy program when each knee reached 128-degree angle and could straighten completely.
A friend and some faith
With two surgeries and two recoveries behind him, some might consider Cooper a man already up a mountain.
But he considers that homework for the test on Mt. Evans, his attempt to climb his seventh fourteener.
It would be mission impossible without Larsen, whom he fondly calls his Sherpa.
The slightly younger man at 62 brings along stamina and experience gained from climbing all 54 peaks multiple times for a grand fourteener total of more than 100 trips to the top since his first at 25 on July 4, 1976.
Cooper joked that his friends back in New York, where he grew up, have no idea what a fourteener is.
"Ken certainly does, and he's got this way of just nurturing you through the entire climb. He's so sensitive and aware of where I am in it," Cooper said.
Success for anyone begins with appreciating that no fourteener is easy, Larsen said.
"But you can do it. This may sound awfully simple, but it literally is one step at a time. Some steps are harder than others. But if you keep doing that, you will make it to the top," he said. "The trick is to not be so focused on the top that you miss seeing the wildflowers and the critters that come out and the views and the company of one another."
To make it more doable, the men planned their route from Summit Lake, which sits just 1,434 feet from the top.
An official fourteener summit requires a minimum 3,000-foot vertical ascent, Larsen said.
But this steeper, second-half of one route suits their need to get on the mountain, get to the top together and get picked up by their wives to avoid hiking down, which is harder on the knees than it seems.
Of all the fourteeners, only Mt. Evans and Pike's Peak offer road access to the top.
Cooper hopes that weather or other unforeseen circumstances won't foil their plan. Besides building his tenacity, these hikes build his faith, he said.
"There is something very spiritual about it, about getting to the top. When I got to the top of my first fourteener, Mt. Bierstadt, my dad had passed away not too much earlier, and it was, 'Dad, this one's for you.' He died of cancer, and I couldn't help but think on the way up that those last two months must have been like this for him," Cooper said.
"... Getting up this one will be emotional, too," he continued. "The emotion is achieving something that you don't start off thinking is within your reach, and the only way you do it is with the strength of God and what's inside you."

Timothy P. Padera, PhD Associate Professor in Radiation Oncology Harvard Medical School Edwin L. Steele Laboratories for Tumor BiologyDepartment of Radiation OncologyMassachusetts General Hospital
As part of the Edwin L. Steele Laboratories for Tumor Biology, the Padera Laboratory examines pathophysiology of tumor associated lymphatic vessels and lymphatic metastasis.
Lymphatic vessels are responsible for draining interstitial fluid from tissues and for transporting immune cells to lymph nodes to maintain the bodys immune surveillance. Lymphatic vessels also facilitate the dissemination of cancer cells from a primary tumor to regional lymph nodes.
The mechanisms used by cancer cells to form lymph node metastasis are starting to be understood, with the hope of identifying treatment strategies to lower mortality due to disseminated cancer.
In contrast to hematogenous metastasis in which the primary tumor has functional blood vessels for cancer cells to invade, the story for lymphatic metastasis is likely more complicated.
Solid tumors seem to lack functional intratumor lymphatic vessels which means tumor cells that enter intratumor lymphatic vessels will not be carried by lymph flow to lymph nodes. Functional lymphatic vessels in the margin of tumors, however, seem sufficient for lymphatic metastasis to occur.
Using intravital microscopy, we have investigated the individual steps of lymphatic metastasis. We can monitor the lymphatic vessels in the tumor margin, observe tumor cells moving in lymphatic vessels, measure lymph flow and quantify the number of tumor cells that arrive in the draining lymph node.
Our studies have shown that VEGF-C, which is associated with lymphatic metastasis in patients, increases the size of the tumor margin lymphatic vessels, making them more vulnerable to invasion. Our data suggests that VEGF-C needs to be blocked very early in the metastatic process to be able to reduce VEGF-C enhanced lymphatic metastasis.
In addition to our work on metastasis, we have studied mechanisms for the lack of functional lymphatic vessels in tumors. We have shown that the compressive mechanical forces generated by cancer cells proliferating in a confined space can cause the collapse of both blood and lymphatic vessels. The collapsed lymphatic vessels can no longer transport lymph and appear to be non-functional. This work highlights the importance of not only the biochemical but also the physical microenvironment in determining lymphatic structure and function.
Our future studies will continue to dissect the physical and molecular determinants of lymphatic vessel function, lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis. Through the use of our novel imaging technologies and animal models, we will answer timely questions that can lead to the development of treatments for lymphatic metastasis and lymphedema.

A 30-year-old school teacher, who suffered severe burns on her face in an acid attack in Jammu and Kashmir, was on Friday flown to Delhi and admitted to a private hospital, where doctors said she will require multiple reconstructive surgical procedures.
The school teacher, who was attacked with acid in Parraypora locality of Hyderpora in Srinagar on Wednesday, was being treated at the Sri Maharaja Hari Singh Hospital till Friday morning.
The woman was flown to the capital on Friday afternoon and was rushed to Indraprastha Apollo Hospital for further treatment, doctors said.
After conducting initial diagnosis and mandatory procedures on her, doctors said her condition was stable, though her left eye has "sustained significant damage".
"The patient has been admitted today afternoon with severe acid burns to her face and small patches on her right upper limbs. The burns are deep and will require multiple reconstructive surgical procedures. Her left eye has sustained significant damage," a medical bulletin issued by the hospital said.
The hospital said a multi-disciplinary team of doctors was assessing the patient, who has suffered significant burn injuries.
A jilted lover poured the acid on the face of the woman, who was returning home from a coaching centre, where she used to teach.
The youth, Reyaz Ahmad Nath, who had been harassing the girl for the last three years, and his accomplice Mudassir Ahmad have been arrested.
Meanwhile, the commercial hub of Lal Chowk and adjoining areas in Srinagar on Friday observed a two-hour shutdown against the acid attack on the woman.

Gestational hypertension is a form of high blood pressure in pregnancy. It occurs in about 6 percent of all pregnancies. Another type of high blood pressure is chronic hypertension--high blood pressure that is present before pregnancy begins.
Gestational hypertension can develop into preeclampsia. This condition occurs often in young women with a first pregnancy. It is more common in twin pregnancies, in women over the age of 35, in women with chronic hypertension or who had hypertension in a previous pregnancy, in African-American women, and in women with diabetes.
Gestational hypertension is diagnosed when blood pressure readings are higher than 140/90 mm Hg in a woman who had normal blood pressure prior to 20 weeks and has no proteinuria (excess protein in the urine).
Preeclampsia is diagnosed when a woman with gestational hypertension also has increased protein in her urine.
Eclampsia is a severe form of preeclampsia. Women with eclampsia have seizures resulting from the condition. Eclampsia occurs in about one in 1,600 pregnancies and develops near the end of pregnancy, in most cases.
HELLP syndrome is a complication of severe preeclampsia or eclampsia. HELLP syndrome is a group of physical changes including the breakdown of red blood cells, changes in the liver, and low platelets (cells found in the blood that are needed to help the blood to clot in order to control bleeding).
The cause of gestational hypertension is unknown. Some conditions may increase the risk of developing the condition, including the following:
With high blood pressure, there is an increase in the resistance of blood vessels. This may hinder blood flow in many different organ systems in the expectant mother including the liver, kidneys, brain, uterus, and placenta.
There are other problems that may develop as a result of severe gestational hypertension (blood pressure readings that are higher than 160/110 mm Hg). Placental abruption (premature detachment of the placenta from the uterus) may occur in some pregnancies. Gestational hypertension can also lead to fetal problems including intrauterine growth restriction (poor fetal growth) and stillbirth.
If untreated, severe gestational hypertension may cause dangerous seizures (eclampsia) and even death in the mother and fetus. Because of these risks, it may be necessary for the baby to be delivered early, before 37 weeks gestation.
The following are the most common symptoms of high blood pressure in pregnancy. However, each woman may experience symptoms differently, and a patient with gestational hypertension may be completely asymptomatic. Symptoms may include:
Diagnosis is often based on the increase in blood pressure levels, but other symptoms may help establish gestational hypertension as the diagnosis. Tests for gestational hypertension may include the following:
Specific treatment for gestational hypertension will be determined by your doctor based on:
The goal of treatment is to prevent the condition from becoming worse and to prevent it from causing other complications. Treatment for gestational hypertension may include:
Early identification of women at risk for gestational hypertension may help prevent some complications of the disease. Education about the warning symptoms is also important because early recognition may help women receive treatment and prevent worsening of the disease.

FORT BLISS, TX — To accommodate an influx of soldiers at Fort Bliss, El Paso, TX, the Army opened its largest fitness facility to date last month — the Joshua W. Soto Physical Fitness Facility.
Fort Bliss is expecting 24,000 active duty soldiers on post by December, an increase from 9,300 soldiers in 2005.
"It's all about the additional troops we're receiving — we're basically tripling our number of troops," Eric Hildreth says about the Army's decision to build a large fitness facility. Hildreth is the Family and MWR Sports director and assistant director of the Community Recreation Division at Fort Bliss.
The $22 million, 96,000-square-foot facility, dedicated last month, was named in honor of Joshua W. Soto, who died last summer during a roadside bombing incident in Iraq. He was a member of 1st Battalion, 77th Armor Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division. Soto's widow, Thelma, and 2-year-old son, Jayden, were on hand to cut the ribbon at the dedication ceremony.
The facility includes $2 million worth of fitness equipment. It has a 10,000-square-foot weight room with 25 tons of support weights. It also features a spin room that accommodates 60 bikes and a cardio room large enough to house 60 treadmills, 60 ellipticals, 20 stair steppers and 10 rowing machines. The facility includes an indoor 1/10th-mile running track, a combatives room, two basketball courts, a fitness assessment room, a concession area, and locker rooms and showers that can accommodate 130 people at a time.
A 57,000-square-foot aquatics center, slated to open in fiscal year 2012, is in the planning and design phase. Hildreth says the four indoor swimming pools that are planned could host military training in the mornings and recreational swimming in the afternoons.

Tips and tricks from your fellow racers
Using Your Noodle
For an inexpensive fix to help see the cables to the ramp of your car or kart trailers install swimming pool funnoodles to the cables. Take a razor blade and cut down the middle and fit the noodle over the cables. They install and uninstall very easily. When you are busy going back and forth in and out of the hauler this makes it easy to see the cables, especially during the night hours. Plumbing insulation will work also but are only black or gray, making it harder to see. You can purchase the funnoodles at any Wal-Mart or wherever swimming pool toys are sold. I paid $2.50 each at the end of the season.

To cut zip ties close so that they don't have any sharp edges, I use a pair of dog toe nail clippers. They cut it fast and close. I find that they work a lot better than wire cutters and they also cost less than $4!

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire, Togo, and Cape Verde on January 16-17, 2012, to demonstrate U.S. commitment to post-conflict return to peace, good governance, and economic development as well as to emphasize U.S. focus on democratization.
In Liberia, Secretary Clinton attended President Sirleaf's inauguration and presided over the in-house dedication of the new U.S. embassy compound to demonstrate America's commitment to an enduring friendship with the people of Liberia, as well as the importance of our bilateral relationship with the Liberian Government. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Secretary Clinton was joined by U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Liberia Linda Thomas-Greenfield, Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and Liberian Foreign Affairs Minister Toga Gayewea McIntosh, among others. Secretary Clinton said, "This new compound is a testament to the work you do, and it is a symbol of America's lasting commitment to our partners today. We are committed to standing with the people of Liberia as you, as they, continue their important journey, reconciling political and ethnic differences, strengthening democracy, bringing prosperity and opportunity to people, particularly young people."
While in Cote d'Ivoire, Secretary Clinton met with Ivoirian President Alassane Ouattara to express admiration for the progress that your country is making -- a steady and hopeful return to peace and security, reconciliation among all the people of the nation, as well as economic and social development. Secretary Clinton said, "I am inspired by how quickly not only the government but the people have moved from the violence and conflict of last spring to successful legislative elections in December and to a commitment that is in the air to build a better future for all Ivoirians and particularly for the next generation." In Abidjan, Secretary Clinton also participated in a Youth and Community Leaders Reconciliation Roundtable.
In the first visit of a Secretary of State to Togo, Secretary Clinton met President Faure to demonstrate U.S. support for Togo's democratic progress and economic reforms and to congratulate Togo on its recent election to the United Nations Security Council, where it holds a non-permanent seat for 2012 and 2013.
In Cape Verde, Secretary Clinton met Prime Minister Neves to discuss cooperation on regional issues like counternarcotics, good governance, sound economic policies, and Cape Verde's second Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Compact.

Khorvanis, the Omega Watch
Didn't want to derail Paradox's thread, so starting a new one.
Khorvanis is the most powerful immortal I've yet to (and very likely will) stat.
Note that K. uses my Immortals Metamagic abilities.
Any Transcendental Abilities in excess of those allotted by his template have added a flat +36 to his ECL.
His 3 swords are a total estimation on my part. I haven't a clue what their actual "+ value" is, they seem relatively appropriate, and as the easily most powerful entity in my setting, I'm not terribly concerned.
I know he should be at least Titanic, but he's Medium. Crucify me.
He uses the Damage Reduction progression my group uses (HD * Cosmic Firmament Modifier)
Avinion, the Eternal One, is in fact one of three dissociative identities of the Almighty, though he is doubly more powerful than his brothers, Esmeirith and Ba'auth'aal.
However, sitting upon the Throne Beyond Eternity, Avinion, who is Steward of All Times in wake of the Almighty's mind-breaking, Schismatic suicide, has not the gift to create. He rules in impotence over a diminishing Creation shackled by an imperfectly-formed Eternity, one which is hounded on all sides by the void of Oblivion. As Time hurtles ever-more quickly into the abyss, into its own final destruction, Avinion must watch helplessly, unable to intervene lest he rupture the fragile cosmic balance that permits this last legacy of the Almighty to exist, even if ephemerally.
Avinion knows that Creation's struggle against the void is doomed to failure, and knows that when the war is finally lost, that he will live on undying in nothingness, and that he, like his father before him, will take his own life rather than face what is to come.
And yet, he will not permit any to hasten its already-perilous descent. Should a threat arise sufficient to grant Immortal Darkness its utter victory, Avinion will dispatch his emissary, Khorvanis, to rectify the situation.
Khorvanis is the Omega Watch, something a son or avatar to Avinion, a separate, dissociated being empowered directly by the Eternal One to intercede where he cannot. Khorvanis is the Judge of Time's End, the Executor of Eternity's Will. Only something as catastrophic as the immanent, irreversible destruction of the known universe would be justification enough for him to intercede in Time. And, as such, he is also titled "the Sword That Has Never Been Drawn".
Khorvanis exists at the very pinnacle of the Argent Peak of Creation, with one (spiritual) foot in the Akasha whilst his other is planted firmly within Time. He constantly wards Creation against extra-cosmic threats, such that they are never permitted to enter the body of the demiurge. His power rivals that of Time Lords of other universes, and even the mightiest inter-dimensional anomalies fall effortlessly before his three Swords of Judgment.
Khorvanis also guards the Gates of Eternity, which open unto the Akasha, whence Avinion rests. Not even the oldest, mightiest Immortals and Sidereals have ever held knowledge of Khorvanis' existence. As a silent watcher, he has protected them from threats which, for all their glorious divinity, could see them all annihilated in an instant if the dimensional barriers were to be breached.
Never interceding in the internecine pantheonic wars descending from the Schism of old, Khorvanis lacks his father's impulse towards despair. He is unphased by the eventual doom of time, resolute in his duty to see his charge through. Where Avinion grieves for all which has befallen, and all that which shall, in sorrow, yet befall, Khorvanis stands undaunted, the champion of an entire existence.
Opponents (such as rival Time Lords, the greatest, the most impudent Umbrals, or Nehaschismic Dragons) daring to engage Khorvanis in combat will instantly be assaulted with an impossible barrage of attacks from his Swords of Judgment, staccatos of planet-sundering spells via his Alter Reality ability, and the ineffable doom of his awesome Astral Effect.

What stands before you, it is of…ALMIGHTY bearing. Barely taller than a man, the figure has prismatic, shifting, ethereal skin. Its eyes are gems of infinite facets that gleam with colors you cannot even name. It wears the robes of the highest judge, diaphanous garments that absorb and reflect light of all hues. Its smoky wings extend into the very firmament, engulfing the whole of the sky. In the ground before it are planted three swords of silvery light, one fading, one steadfast, and one blindingly brilliant. The entire plane on which you stand is struck silent, rapt, for Khorvanis, the Intercessor, the Omega Watch who stands the very Gates of Eternity, has come to pass judgment.

Environment: The Crystalline Eyrie of the Akasha
The Three Swords of Judgment
Khorvanis tri-wields these three almighty swords. They appear as little more than rings of light orbiting his form. They have a base damage of 10d1000 damage and threaten a critical on a 10-20, dealing x10 damage. Khorvanis' number of attacks doubles when he wields all three together. They deal an extra 1d1000 damage for every Divine Rank possessed by the target and quadruple damage to anything with a non-neutral alignment.
Forever's Lament
The first of Khorvanis' three swords of light, Forever's Lament strikes with the sorrow of what shall always be. It deals 5 points of Permanent Damage to each of the target's ability scores with each strike.
Yesterday's Horizon
The second of Khorvanis' three swords of light, Yesterday's Horizon strikes with the glory of what once was. It annihilates a single Divine Rank from the target with each strike.
Tomorrow's Eclipse
The third of Khorvanis' three swords of light, Tomorrow's Eclipse strikes with the implacability of what is to come. It annihilates 5 of the target's Hit Dice with each strike.
Khorvanis has infinite reach and perceives the entirety of the dimension in which he currently exists.
Khorvanis may make a Full Attack against everyone he can perceive as a Full Attack Action. He receives an additional attack against everyone he can perceive every time he drops an opponent. Every attack he makes counts as a Disarm, Sunder, and Trip Attack; he Sunders for triple damage.
Khorvanis Power Attacks at an 8:1 ratio and may Power Attack for a total of 480 points. He Power Attacks at a 16:1 ratio on a charge, on which he receives a Full Attack. All damage he deals is multiplied by his Critical Multiplier (x10). Khorvanis never misses. He uses Combat Experitse at a 4:1 ratio.
Khorvanis may use Alter Reality to duplicate the effect of any spell of 180th level or below or an Epic Spell with a DC of 874 or lower. He may freely apply any of his Metamagic feats to these spells. These effects have a DC of 497+Spell Level
Khorvanis' spells have no cap and deal use d100s in the place of any variable numeric effect. All Khrovanis's damage from spells is considered Divine Damage (Thus, a basic Fireball cast by Khorvanis deals 480d100 Divine Damage.)
Khorvanis maximizes all die rolls, while all his opponents minimize theirs.
Khorvanis cannot be hit by any effect requiring an Attack Roll.
Khorvanis is immune to damage from all weapons (save Cataclysm).
Khorvanis is immune to the effects of any spell (save the Convocation of the Elder Lords)
Khorvanis is surrounded by a 156,800 ft. Dead Magic Zone which does not impede him.
Any opponent Khorvanis slays with his Astral Effect is erased from having ever existing.
Khorvanis is immune to time-based attacks and acts twice in every given round.
Khorvanis absorbs any spell cast at him, and is able to release it as a Free Action, amplified by his Automatic Metamagic.
Astral Effect: Khorvanis' Astral Effect checks 4 times each time a target is struck
- Beam: 19,600 ft. Ranged Touch, 25% chance for annihilation
- Blast: 19,600 ft. Range, 1,225 ft. burst, 12.5% chance for annihilation, a Reflex Save (DC 726) halves the percentage.
- Blood: 5% chance for annihilation when struck in melee, a Reflex Save (DC 726) halves the percentage.
- Breath: 1,225 ft. Cone or 4,900 ft. Line, 25% chance for annihilation, a
- Reflex Save (DC 726) halves the percentage.
- Hand: Melee Touch, 50% chance for annihilation
- Immolation: 156,800 ft. Burst, 50% chance for annihilation, a Reflex Save (DC 726) halves the percentage.
- Storm: 5% chance for annihilation each round, 156,800 ft. Emanation, a Reflex Save (DC 726) halves the percentage.
- Strike: 5% chance for annihilation on each melee strike
- Wrath: 1,225 ft. Gaze, 12.5% chance for annihilation, a Will Save (DC 726) halves the percentage.

Howdy Belzamus mate!
Just wanted to say awesome stuff. I'll post more thoughts on it in a day or so (last night tonight of work this week). I can't help thinking to myself a 4th Edition version would be even better.

Wow, that's powerful... what kind of monsters does this guy face? Seems like he would take down a nehaschimic dragon in one round. You mentioned Umbrals ... they get up to Eternal level? The Epic Bestiary (IIRC) mentioned them appearing when an Immortal dies; so I had assumed they were Immortal type power. Or do they appear when Sidereals & Eternals die, too?
I really like the three swords, cool names and cool imagery with the rings of light thing.
And all the titles are awesome, makes him sound like an actual mythological figure...
{nitpicks} Shouldn't it be "Astro Effect" not "Astral Effect"?
Why do the swords do +10 Divine Ranks, +50 permanent ability damage, etc. in the statblock, but 1/10 of that (1 Divine Rank, 5 permanent ability damage, etc.) in their descriptions?
EDIT: Never mind, this is probably because of "All damage he deals is multiplied by his Critical Multiplier (x10). " {/nitpicks}
What Divine/Cosmic/Transcendental Ability gives him the no-spell-caps/d100 spell damage thing? That's pretty scary ... a 480d100 basic Fireball is bad enough, and metamagic'd up ... I can see where he gets "planet-sundering spells" from.
Who is this Avinion? Is he meant to be MORE powerful than Khorvanis???

Canonically, he's never actually fought anything (lol), I was just brainstorming things that might nab his attention. (Hard to come up with, I admit. ) I thought the idea of an Eternal-level Umbral would be interesting, considering how my Time Lord (Avinion) is contemplating suicide.
Thanks about the swords, they're my favorite part of him too.
And yes, it should be Astro, I just like the sound of Astral better. (Unless someone's already come up with an Astral Effect...?)
Honestly, I'm not sure his swords' bonus damage should be multiplied by x10, it's a little absurd. Dropping it down would be a lot less game-breaking (yes, even at this level.) Ultimate Weapon Specialization is just worded so poorly, it gives no insight into what does and doesn't get multiplied. Still, I think a reduction might be in line.
As for he metamagic, all the abilities are in my Immortals Metamagic thread...[URL=http://www.enworld.org/forum/eternity-publishing-hosted-forum/265703-immortals-metamagic.html] here /url]. Doomsday Spell raises (a Trans) the die-size to d100s and Surpassing Spell (a Cosmic) removes the cap. Of course, I don't allow Empower to stack anymore, since it gets ludicrously out of hand. Still, his spell damage is (in a lot of cases) worse than his melee damage. (Twinned, 4xAdmixed, Split-Ray'd, Empowered Polar Ray whose base damage is 480d100.)
I'm honestly not sure he still needs Metamagic Freedom, since Resonating Spell increases his spells' area to his Divine Aura (who needs Widen?) and Empower no longer stacks. Extend is the only other one that works, I believe, which isn't all that big of a deal at this level.
Oh, and Avinion is the Time Lord, and his stats are actually quite boring, in all honestly. He just has 3 Omnifics, a handful a Trans's, and a small smattering of only the most essential Divines (Perfect Initiative, etc...). His whole write-up, minus flavor, is noly about a page and a half long. Plus, even Khorvanis would have a tough time effecting him in any way, Time Lord's are so far above even the mightiest Demiurge, they really almost ought to remain statless, I think.
Thanks for the feedback, Khisanth. Much appreciated,

I'll chime in here with an observation that Khorvanis here is actually the first-ever Eternal-level NPC we've ever seen, unless one counts the Mortiverse (and that was statted up as a monster so doesn't properly count). Even if the higher being's stats are boring, it could be interesting to compare the two. Khorvanis is meticulously done and has a flavorful description and context; I for one am intrigued about what else you have at his level or above him.
Even if I can't use him directly due to my game Reality being very different in actual statwise rules, who's to say I won't do something in another Reality someday? Also, my PCs are presently hoping to be able to get some Eternal help against their Demiurge when it finally wakes up, since it's increasingly clear that even their First Ones are badly outclassed (partly by their own habits and hands, but that's another story), so perhaps having an idea what an actual Time Lord can do will be useful.

*dramatic sigh* Fine, Paradox, if you insist.
There was stillness in the Eternal Void, and it was named Immortal Darkness; higher than Light, older than Time, wiser than Truth. And above the Void, was the True. The Almighty, the Lord of All and Nothing who sat upon the Throne Beyond Eternity. First Creator. Artist in the Rift of Dreams; Time his canvas, Truth his brush, and Highest Light his prismatic paint. For ages uncounted, he wove tapestries of glory and resplendence, filling the Void with the wonders of Light constrained in Time, exalted by Truth. With but a single, masterful stroke, he wrought the Argent Pinnacle of Creation from nothingness, a monument to His splendor.
But Immortal Darkness was first; old as the Almighty Himself and loathe to yield its dominions to Creation. Swirling in defiant vortices of black, abyssal waters, it rose up in ire, an ebon tide of nonexistence crashing against the Throne Beyond Eternity.
And the Almighty despaired.
As waves of entropy and annihilation engulfed his Argent Pinnacle, the Almighty raged at His impotence, at the impossibility of this defiance. Yet, He, embodying all things and none, in part emphasized with the serene nothingness of Immortal Darkness, of its transcendent stillness, and could not bring Himself to cast it away.
Forces raged within Him, elemental ideals of Abominable Splendor and Splendorous Abomination dividing from His supreme consciousness, of Perfected Imperfection ravaging His mind in Schism.
Thus, He broke, self-annihilating in the very birth of Time. From that part of Him which loved the Light and all its innumerable joys arose Esmeirith, Judge of all that stirred in darkness, unyielding sentinel of Highest Light. And from that part of Him which saw beauty in the Void rose forth Baauthaal, wrathful hoarder of its serenity, who desired to tear down the Argent Pinnacle, to rend apart the Three Precepts of Light, Time, and Truth.
And from that which remained, of His temperance, His wisdom, His grace and lordliness, came, in grief, Avinion, their Highest Brother, left to sit upon a Throne too grand for him to ever hope to fill, coronated with a Crown of Broken Wonders, unequal to the doom of Time.
For it was all incomplete, a shell of perfection withering from within. Grain by existential grain, the roots of the Pinnacle tumbled back into the abyss as Immortal Darkness ever gnawed at Creation from all sides. Time became a prison for Eternity, stretching it perilously thin, feeding it into the vacuum of nonexistence to extort Light and Truth for fleeting aeons.
And Avinion knows this all. Rendered impotent by a duty that broke the Almighty Himself in the full height of his awesome glory, he is devoured by grief, shedding solar tears into the firmament as each moment passes, never to be renewed.
For Avinion cannot Create. His hands are numb and unskilled, weighed down by sorrow and ravage, sufficient only to destroy.
And destruction is what he loathes most. For, indirectly, he is bound to the Argent Pinnacle. Trapped within the prison of time, yet undying, he ever beholds the end of all, the return to cold, unchanging oblivion, to the Black Eternity and the undying reign of Immortal Darkness. A fate bereft of gods or stars, of Highest Light and all its splendors.
Consigned to rule over a cosmic wasteland, from an empty throne, empowered by a broken crown, Avinion knows that he will fall to the same devouring despair that saw the end of the Almighty. He will take his own life and blast Immortal Darkness with such searing guilt and glory that it will reel in mute, surpassing agony for all its timeless reign.
Broken by the doom that awaits him, that awaits All Creation, Avinion is a helpless god, too consumed by wretchedness to even defend himself against any extra-cosmic predators that might drift into the dead body of the demiurge. He is warded by Khorvanis, a dissociated preservation-aspect of phenomenal cosmic power who serves to guard the Time Lord, battling anomalies and rival Time Lords. And yet, the two have never exchanged so much as a single word. Avinion is closed to all, living in a microcosm of anguish and despair.
An Eternal, waiting for his universe to die.

You stand atop the uttermost Pinnacle, a singularity of existence, where all dimensions overlap, the wellspring of dreams which ever flows into Creation. Beyond you is the Black Eternity, yawning in malign nothingness into infinite, endless horizons. And yet…there is something else, something BEYOND, both detached and intrinsic to every dimension, a Throne lording over the firmament itself, unfathomably massive, pervading all that is, and all that is not. And that throne is NOT empty. Though it seems small in comparison, atop it is a being of such awe-inspiring majesty that you – yes, even YOU, cosmic lords without equal – are driven to your knees in reverence. One instant, it is a silvery dragon, its infinite wings each a mirror; the next, an orb of coruscating radiance, a universal star, shooting forth jets of prismatic fire. Again, it shifts before your eyes, now a gaping void of crushing sorrow, weeping tears of fire. Now, a desiccated corpse, dressed in tattered robes, head surmounted by a broken crown. It continues to shift before your eyes, and you begin to realize that the being before you exists beyond Time, beyond Eternity itself, and that you are beholding it in all its many aspects. And what strikes you most poignantly, is that it DIES. Before your eyes, this glorious, Eternal being dies, over and over again, devoured by cosmic nightmares. Wracked with sublime agony, it cannot help but afflict you with the eschatolic visions that torture it so. And you realize, in an instant, that the greatest curse of all, the paramount doom of the undying, is to REMEMBER.

All his spells have no cap, deal d100 damage in place of their normal die-size, and deal pure Divine damage. (Thus, a simple Fireball cast by Avinion would deal 1,000d100 Divine Damage before any modification by Metamagic). These effects have a DC of 830+Spell Level
Cosmic Consciousness: Avinion perfectly perceives the entirety of Creation at all times.
Dead Zone: Avinion can evoke a Dead Magic Zone within his Divine Aura (All Creation) that prevents the function of all magic and supernatural abilities without impeding his own abilities
Godly Realm: Avinion's Godly Realm encompasses All Creation. Any enemy facing him from within suffers a -200 Divine Penalty on Armor Class and all rolls as cosmic forces of unspeakable potency prevent them from harming the Eternal One
Invincibility: Avinion can ignore the effects of any affect by making a Fortitude Save equal to his attacker's ECL
Omnipersonal: When Avinion is injured, all damage he is dealt is dealt also to every entity within Creation
Omnipresent: Avinion's Divine Aura encompasses All Creation
Slipstream: Avinion cannot be undermined by time travel and is immune to Temporal effects
Spell Reflection: Any spell which fails to penetrate Avinion's Spell Resistance is reflected back upon the caster, modified by 328 levels of Metamagic of Avinion's choosing
Telluric Effect: Avinion's Effect-abilities double in power every time he uses them against the same opponent consecutively
Transcorporeal: Avinion cannot be physically injured by any matter native to Creation
Transfinite: Avinion's Divine Rank is inflated by the Divine Rank of the most powerful opponent within his Divine Aura (All Creation)
Transmortality: Avinion cannot be permanently destroyed by any means
Transtemporal: Avinion receives infinite actions against any opponent without the Slipstream ability and receives triple actions against opponents with the Slipstream ability
Transversal: Avinion can attack any target he can perceive (All Creation) regardless of distance)
Ultima Effect: (Effect repeats itself for 200 rounds)
- Beam 4000d20 Divine Damage, 40,400 ft. Ray, No Save
- Blast 2000d20 Divine Damage, 40,400 ft. Range, 2,525 ft. Radius, Ref Save (DC 1,330) for ½
- Blood 1000d20 Divine Damage, Ref Save (DC 1,330) Negates
- Breath 2000d20 Divine Damage, 2,525 ft. Cone or 10,100 ft. Line, Ref Save (DC 1,330) for ½
- Hand 6000d20 Divine Damage, Melee Touch, No Save
- Immolation 6000d20 Divine Damage, affects All Creation, Ref Save (Dc 1,330) for ½
- Storm 1000d20 Divine Damage, affects All Creation, Ref Save (DC 1,330) for ½
- Strike +1000d20 Divine Damage on each attack
- Wrath 2000d20 Divine Damage, 2,525 ft. Cone, Will Save (DC 1,330) Negates
Utter Eye: Avinion always uses the most favorable result of a die roll, while all opponents within his Divine Aura (All Creation) use the lowest possible result for all die rolls
Utter Eye is what I call the Dimensional Mastery that gives both Inner and Evil Eye.
His Expression of Power is a Melee Touch attack multiplied by his Cosmic Firmament Modifier (so 2x1000x1000d6 = 1,000,000d6 = 6,000d1000). If he had a physical attack, it would do billions of damage thanks to VSCs which just seemed way too high.
He's traded both his Portfolios and his Integrated Class Features for a ~90 ECL. (Counting a TL's ability to change their classes at will)
Also, Avinion as presented here is without access to either of his artifacts (the Throne Beyond Eternity and the Crown of Broken Wonders) as he does not accept himself as a successor to the Supreme Being. Were he to, for some reason, see the light (so to speak) both artifacts would inflate his power massively, both providing a mutlitude of Transcendental and Omnific Abilities. I imagine the Throne would provide Absolute, Omnific Toughness, and Superior Dominance, while the Crown would accord the wearer with Transilient Fortitude, Reflex, and Will, Ninth Sense, Perfect Defense, and Perfect (Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Cha).
Do bear in mind that the addition of those would bump his ECL by 800 or so.
Also, it just crossed my mind that perhaps some sort of anti-being should have arisen in some form from the Almighty's suicide. Might be worth looking into, though there aren't a whole lot of entropy-aspected abilities at the Omnific scale. (Oblivion, Undimensional, Lord of Necessity I guess would work).

Well, the other two (Esmeirith and Ba'auth'aal) are so viciously diametrically opposed that any form of alliance or union is beyond anathema to them; both perceive the utter annihilation and absorption of the other's quintessence as the only means by which they might acheive their respective ends. Which...leads to their mutual destruction, eventually. Though technically as demiurge, they can't die, much of their power was displaced into their children, most of whom also have been annihilated.
Of course, there are still two other (more literal) demiurge, in Eriahim (who embodies incarante the Argent Pinnacle) and Baalzoth (who is Immortal Darkness in all its limitless oblivion), and were both their powers to be combined (even more impossible than the former scenario) something like a new Almighty could possibly be formed with or without Avinion's assistance.
It should be noted that in the present era of my campaign setting that all the Sidereals have annihilated themselves in a horrific patheicide called the Sorrowfall, and all the Immortals are so broken by the tragedy that they're largely useless as gods. Eriahim is maimed and broken with grief, nearly mad, and completely powerless to act in any meaningful way; while Baalzoth is barred from the Argent Pinnacle by a divine barrier evoked by the sacrifice of the Sidereals in their last moments, which tenuously holds back decay, but without gods or Lords to guide it, the world is in a sorry, sorry state. far from the paradisical perfection envisioned by the Almighty.

Author Notes: This is a simple dish that pays huge rewards. It was born from my love of all things caramel and my curiosity about the taste of roasted mango, which I now know is really, really good! I started by creating a caramel sauce with vanilla and green cardamom, flavors that go really well with mango. To make the caramel sauce a little saucy (sorry, I couldn't resist), I decided to spike it with a little rum. You then add your fresh mango to the caramel-rum sauce and let it bubble away stovetop for a few minutes so the juices of the mango marry with the sauce. All that's left is roasting the mango in the caramel-rum sauce for a brief spell, during which time the mango will begin to lightly caramelize. How you serve it is up to you -- it happens to be my new favorite topping for Greek yogurt, and it would be equally at home over ice cream, pound cake, or French toast. —EmilyC
Food52 Review: Simple and delicious, EmilyC's roasted mangoes with a boozy rum kick are so versatile you'll go back to them again and again. Slices of mango tossed with a light carmel syrup flavored with hints of cardamom and vanilla. Let the mangoes roast a little longer in the oven to thicken up the syrup and be careful when adding the rum to the hot syrup -- it splatters up. —jvcooks
Makes: about 1 cup
2 ripe mangoes
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
½ vanilla bean (about a 4" piece)
8 to 10 green cardamom pods
¼ cup dark rum
sea salt, to taste
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Peel and pit your mangoes, then cut them into 1" slices or chunks. Set aside.
- Split your vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. In an ovenproof skillet (8" works well) or a low-sided sauce pan, stir together the sugar, water, vanilla bean + seeds, and green cardamom pods. Over high heat, cook the mixture until it turns a golden caramel -- about 5 to 7 minutes. Take the pan off the burner and add the rum. Return the pan to the burner, lower the heat, and cook until the rum and caramel melt together, about 2 minutes. If your sauce begins to thicken or clump, simply stir it until it's smooth or add a teaspoon or so of water if necessary. You're looking for a light, thin caramel sauce -- not one that's thick or sticky. Add the mango and cook another 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan a few times to evenly coat the mango with the rum-caramel sauce.
- Transfer your pan to the oven and roast until the juices are bubbling and the mango begins to slightly wither around the edges -- about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Add sea salt to taste and remove the vanilla bean and green cardamom pods (reserving the vanilla bean for another use). The caramelized mango can be served hot or cooled to room temperature. You can also refrigerate it for a few days -- letting it come to room temperature or gently reheating it before use.

"In fact, it looks and feels very similar to the keyboard fitted to the original Acer Aspire One, which was fine on a machine released two years ago and costing £200 but the game has moved on."
It has? I guess I need to try out an N140 keyboard then. I remember the Aspire One getting plaudits for its great keyboard on release, and I've always been very happy with mine. It's certainly better than that chiclet-style rubbish that seems so popular these days.
As for Sony's netbook, it just looks like more of the same to me. I've yet to see a model from any manufacturer that convinces me I need to spend £300 on a machine that's essentially the same as the one I spent £200 a couple of years ago.

News & Observer - Piedmont startups find kitchen aid
By Tammy Grubb
HILLSBOROUGH — In the chaos of the kitchen is where food entrepreneurs strike it hot, or get burned trying.
Three of every four culinary startups fail within a year, experts say, but at the Piedmont Food and Agricultural Processing Facility, entrepreneurs say they've found help staying out of the fire.
In fact, four companies using the center have grown so large, they are now looking for commercial space to lease. That's a problem in Orange County, where economic development officials say the available space is either too small or too expensive.
Most small producers also don't have $60,000 to $80,000 to equip a professional kitchen, said Matthew Roybal, the center's executive director.
Roybal declined to name many clients, citing privacy concerns. One looking to move is LunaPops owner Jon Mills, whose Wilmington company was one of the first clients at the center when it opened. In three years, they've outgrown the space and could move by next year, he said.
Orange County's economic development director Steve Brantley said several other clients have developed overseas business, including Vintage Bee, which exports its gourmet honey to China.
The center "is gaining a statewide reputation as a model for food and ag processing," Brantley said.
The independently operated nonprofit, which opened in 2011 on Valley Forge Road in Hillsborough, has 34 clients and 30 more in the planning, orientation and training stages. The center could easily fill double the existing freezer and storage space it now has, Brantley said.
Getting started
Durham resident Modupe Hassan, 62, has been in business for a while, but she's still getting started.
The Nigerian-born cook moved to America 42 years ago for college. When she was laid off six years ago from GlaxoSmithKline, Hassan tested her Ownjeh Rice Sauce on friends and started producing it with the help of a co-packing company. Co-packers help small-scale producers package their products for a fee.
Hassan found out about the Piedmont center just as she was about to lose her co-packer. The center gave her an affordable place to continue making her product, but it also gave her a boost of confidence and a place to go for ideas and advice, she said.
Until now, her focus has been making samples of her sauce and getting certified by state regulators so she can sell it at A Southern Season and on the company's website. Her first full-scale production is this month, she said.
"Individually, none of us can build a business like that," she said. The center provides "that for you at a reasonable price."
Multi-county partnership
The center is a partnership among Orange, Durham, Chatham and Alamance counties. It grew with $1.5 million in seed money, plus numerous state and federal grants. The kitchens rent for $25 an hour, with free time before and after a scheduled appointment for cleaning and sanitizing.
Roybal was hired shortly after the center opened and recently hired facility manager Rob Gardner to help oversee its operation. Both are passionate about what they do, and the spirited debates they have about the center's direction has sparked new ideas, the men said.
They expect the books to be in the black by year-end, just in time for Roybal's first official report to the Orange County Board of Commissioners.
The plan has always been to build a self-sustaining center that could provide entrepreneurs and local farmers with new markets and grow the region's agricultural economy. The center regularly hosts school tours and other groups.
The center also is seeking grants to avoid raising client fees and to save for future needs, Roybal said. In a perfect world, they would add a regional food truck and catering services center in Durham, Chatham and Guilford counties, and a meat-processing facility, he said.
Chapel Hill chef Beau Bennett has run his company, Beau Catering, out of the space for two years using produce from Hillsborough farmers. The chef and his team were working hard last week as '80s hair metal blared from a kitchen radio.
"This place has been a dream for us," Bennett said.
Learning curve
Roybal and Gardner sometimes offer advice, but clients are responsible for their own business decisions. Every client that finishes orientation doesn't start a business right away, but for those who do, the learning curve has been cut by six months, they said.
Carrboro resident Beth May enjoys sharing the kitchen with other people and learning from experienced entrepreneurs. While the center is short on storage space, it has been good for her business, and the staff helped her get ready for the U.S. Department of Agriculture inspectors, she said.
May started making tempeh while in graduate school studying bio and agricultural engineering, and before starting her own business, she made her tempeh for the Chapel Hill restaurant The Pig. She now sells it to the Fiction Kitchen in Raleigh, Little Dipper in Durham and Weaver Street Market in Hillsborough, Carrboro and Southern Village.
The mother of two sons – ages 8 and 10 – spends five hours at the center making each batch. She starts by cooking 200 pounds of beans from an organic grower in Rocky Mount and treats them with a fungal culture. The beans then go through a double fermentation process in a heated cabinet for nearly three days. The tempeh develops a milder flavor and dense, tight texture that's immediately frozen to preserve the freshness, May said.
Roybal and Gardner said they encourage new clients to draft a business plan and learn from their strengths and weaknesses. The men watch new clients work and help them correct problems during at least the first three visits. Roybal said that's not the case at every food incubator, and other operations have been shut down because of a client's mistake.
"They're entrepreneurs, risk-takers, and have to have that sense of confidence," Gardner said. But "it's an enormous risk."
Training and record-keeping are very important, especially when the Food and Drug Administration, the state Department of Agriculture or the county's environmental health division regularly drop in for inspections, they said. Government rules vary among the agencies and can be complicated for smaller companies, because they were written for large-scale food producers.
Roybal, an Army reservist who has worked for Whole Foods and other private companies, said it's been interesting to work with county governments. As members of the center's board of directors, local leaders bring a variety of skills, but few have food service experience, he said.
Orange County's staff has been the most supportive, helping identify economic development opportunities and secure more storage space, he said. The commissioners recently approved spending $3 million to renovate the Cedar Grove Community Center, including the addition of a loading dock and extensive dry storage space for the center's clients.
Mills said LunaPops, which now has 12 employees, could sell 1.2 million to 1.4 million frozen treats this year. The company recently contracted with Harris Teeter to market its juice pops made 28 at a time by hand, he said. They recently shipped 15,000 pops to a new buyer in the Middle Eastern country of Qatar, he said.
LunaPops outgrew the center's freezer long ago, forcing Mills to rent storage space in Morrisville. From there, the pops are shipped to a New Jersey warehouse rented at a third the cost of Triangle warehouse space, and on to clients and stores, he said.
Still, the center saves them roughly half a million dollars each year in capital and technology costs, Mills said. It also allows him to maintain strict quality standards that larger producers can't meet, he said.
"We do believe in small batches. We do believe in making it ourselves," Mills said. "That's part of knowing what you produce and what you make."
But the greatest thing about the center is the collaboration and caring, he said. When the freezer died last year – with LunaPops' biggest order ever inside – there were multiple hands ready to help, including a tenant who brought a forklift and a licensed driver to move 20 pallets of frozen pops to a Sysco refrigerator truck.
Sysco, a restaurant supply company, left the truck running in the parking lot for a week to keep the pops cold, he said.
"The food business is tough," Mills said. "I like to think that I've helped a lot of people in the food business, but a lot of people have helped me."

Hornets fans are going to love Julian Wright.
The rookie forward is still learning and might need a year or two of development but his attitude and work ethic have been outstanding so far.
Right now, he's way behind frontline veterans like Rasual Butler, Hilton Armsrong, Melvin Ely and even Ryan Bowen. That's to be expected. He's only 20 and just three days into his first NBA camp. But the first-round pick has arrived in the NBA with the requisite "PHD" attitude: poor, hungry and driven.
Wright is one of the first to arrive at workouts and one of the last to leave. He spent extra time after Wednesday's practice to work on his shooting. On Thursday, he consicuously finished every post-practice sprint or suicide ahead of the rest of the big men. At one point, he even ran an extra suicide.
That's the kind of attitude that will get the attention of Hornets coach Byron Scott and general manager Jeff Bower.
I must admit, I was a little skeptical of Wright when the Hornets selected him in the first round. I'd watched several Kansas games last season and don't remember the 6-8 Wright making much of an impression. But Wright is one of those players that must be evaluated closely to appreciate. The more you watch, the more you like.
First of all, he is a terrific passer for a player of his size, which will make him an effective weapon in the high post or on the wing.
Second, he's a solid defender, quick enough to hang with most small forwards and long enough to hold his own against NBA power forwards.
Third, and perhaps more important, he has excellent basketball IQ. He knows how to play the game. He understands the little things like spacing, off-side defense, communication with his teammates, game situations, etc.
It's well-documented that Wright need to improve his shooting. Like a lot of players, his jumper has a tendency to flat-line when he gets tired. But, as Scott said this week, his mechanics are fine. It's mostly a matter of confidence with him. Besides, shooting is one the easiest skills in basketball to learn. Wright is going to be fine if he keeps working on his shot like he did Wednesday when he was knocking down well over 50 percent of his 3-pointers during an individual shootaround session.
The other young player that has stood out is Trey Johnson, the rookie free agent from Jackson State. Scott called the 6-5 shooting guard has been the biggest surprise of camp so far. Johnson led the nation in scoring last season with a 27-point average and could be a sleeper to make the final roster.
Second-round draft pick Adam Haluska is battling Johnson at reserve shooting guard. Haluska is more of a shooter than a scorer, the exact opposite of Johnson. He appears to be in excellent shape and has also spent extra time after workouts to work on his game. Haluska hasn't made as much of an impact as Johnson but he also hasn't made too many mistakes. It'll be interesting to see how the rookie shooters fare in the exhibition season, which begins Tuesday against the Houston Rockets in Oklahoma City.

Hope College students Danielle Goodman and Bryan Kunkler have each received competitive awards from the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) in support of their summer research experience at Hope College.
The ASBMB presents up to 12 of the $1,000 awards nationally each year, two for each of the six regions into which the institutional chapters of its Undergraduate Research Network (UAN) are divided. Hope is one of 13 colleges and universities with chapters in the North-Central Region, which includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin.
Goodman and Kunkler are each conducting research full-time this summer in collaboration with members of the faculty. They are each biochemistry and molecular biology majors.
° Danielle Goodman, who is a junior from Big Rapids, is working for 10 weeks this summer with Dr. Joseph Stukey, who is a lecturer in biology. Their project is "Investigating the cytotoxic effects of mycobacteriophage Vix Gene 75."
° Bryan Kunkler, who is a senior from Ada, is working for eight weeks this summer with Dr. Maria Burnatowska-Hledin, who is the Frederich Garrett and Helen Floor Dekker Professor of Biology and Chemistry. Their project is "The Regulation of VACM-1 by Thalidomide."
The ASBMB is a nonprofit scientific and educational organization with more than 12,000 members worldwide. Most members teach and conduct research at colleges and universities. Others conduct research in various government laboratories, at nonprofit research institutions and in industry. The society's student members attend undergraduate or graduate institutions. The UAN has more than 50 chapters across the United States and more than 700 members.

Both Hope College cross country teams have been honored for academic excellence by the College Cross Country Coaches Association.
The recognition is especially significant for the women's cross country program which has been named to the Academic Honor Roll every year since the award was initiated in 1990. The men's program has been recognized every year but one during that time.
To qualify for the award, a team needed to maintain a minimum 3.10 team cumulative grade point average and compiled a team score at an NCAA regional meet. The women's team posted a 3.40 cumulative GPA while the men's team recorded a 3.10 GPA. The leading women's team was Hamline, Minn. with a 3.74 GPA and topping the men was MIT at 3.68.
In addition, freshman Joanne Gabl of Saline (Saline HS) received individual All-Academic recognition from the coaches association. To be eligible for the award a student-athlete must carry a minimum 3.5 cumulative grade point average and must finish in the top 25 percent of the field at their respective NCAA regional meet. Gabel led Hope's team at the Great Lakes Regional finishing 46th.
Coached by Mark Northuis, both Hope cross country teams finished third in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) standings this past fall.
