Event: 74th Annual Florida Relays
Location: James G. Pressly Stadium at Percy Beard Track – Gainesville, Fla.
Results: Click Here
The Short Story: Senior Jaleesa Williams and junior Ryan Coles both had huge performances to highlight the VCU track & field squad's first day at the prestigious Florida Relays. After finishing second at this meet last year, Williams won the discus on the women's side, becoming the first Ram to ever win an event at the Florida Relays. Her throw of 169' 6" should lock up a spot at the NCAA East Regionals and currently ranks in the top-20 nationally. Coles had another big performance, breaking 51 meters for the first time and setting a school record with a toss of 168' 7". Junior Kiara Porter also posted a top-10 performance, posting the sixth fastest collegiate time in the 400 meters.
The Highlights:
- For the second straight year, Williams unleashed a huge throw at this meet, topping the field with a throw of 169' 6", besting the nearest competitor by nearly four feet. Her throw currently ranks in the top-20 nationally and is over nine feet further than any other throw in the Atlantic 10 this spring.
- Coles had another big weekend, finishing third in the discus with a record-setting toss of 168' 7", which places him in the top-50 in the East Region. The throw is over 20 feet further than any throw by someone not from VCU in the Atlantic 10.
- Porter clocked in with the sixth fastest collegiate time in the 400 at 52.92, which is currently the ninth fastest time nationally in the event.
- Junior George Moore recorded a PR in the 400, nearly getting under 48 with a time of 48.03.
- Junior Jazmine Wright also posted a PR in the 100m hurdles, clocking in with a time of 1:02.85.
What They Said:
- "Jaleesa had a great throw today with her final throw of prelims following two fouls to take gold in the discus. She is working through some discus placement items here early in the season and we believe that when she lines it up bigger throws will follow. I was relieved to get a mark that will qualify for NCAAs out of the way so we can focus on these changes without pressure." – Throws Coach Ethan Tussing
- "Ryan continued to do what he has done all year in PRing and breaking records. The 51 meter barrier has been looming in front of us for three years and I couldn't be more pleased that Ryan let his training and technique come through today for this big achievement." – Throws Coach Ethan Tussing

The answer to all three questions is a resounding yes. We open the game with the most impressive opening drive I've seen all season (ok, I didn't see Auburn's first drive, thanks to DirectTV's un-announced game of football wack-a-mole channel surfing). Aaron Murray was almost surgical, especially in the first half. Bobo called a great football game, taking whatever the Auburn defense would give him, which was a lot.
More impressively we were more than average on special teams. Yes, we have to be leading the nation in fair caught punts. Morgan's five PATs were dead straight, high and had no adventure built into them. His one FG was the same and was dead center. Barber's punting is looking better and better, with three inside the 20. Auburn had plenty of opportunities to return kickoffs, but the best they came up with was about 25 yards.

No theme chosen this year .... but feel free to ignore it if I do come up with one. I still have some Godzilla on the brain.
from 2007, and 2006:Returning for a fourth year! So far I haven't tired of it... have you? Anyway, 2007 was stellar, over 300 adoptions, and that's just ones which ended up with adoption cards. Several big pieces, notably on stretched canvas found new, anonymous homes. Many excellent donations and a lot of enthusiasm.
This year, my "theme" is "Godzilla Enhances All Art" inspired by a "motel art" print I repurposed with Godzilla and a Bat Country bat. Yes, it was adopted, I happened to take a picture of it at home pre-event. The paintbrushes are purely accidental. For 2008 I want to collect classic prints and introduce Godzilla into them. (Yes, I could use unframed prints of classic paintings).
Yeah, yeah, you know, but oooh, there's so many new folks and I know they don't know ... so here's my project as described down in 2006 art and performances:
This was my project last year and since it is returning I thought I should introduce it yet again for the new folks.
Anti M's Home for Wayward Art is a place for small art, medium art, amateur art, but especially Bad Art, Lost Art, Found Art, Art which Needs a Good Spanking, and of course, Wayward Art. This is not a gallery, it is more like juvenile detention for art, an orphanage, a half-way house for misfit art. All art in the Home is up for adoption, all the prospective new parent needs to do is fill out a small adoption form and clip it to the Home in place of their newfound art darling. Art may also be committed to the Home, just put it securely in place and say good-bye. While the emphasis is on visual art such as paintings, drawings and photos, sculptural art and trinkets found their way into the Home last year and then found new homes.
Why? I love to paint, I love to do miniatures, I love to give things away. Based on the concepts of art and gifting, I came up with the Home. Why Bad Art? While I am quite good at miniatures, I am a beginner painter and not always pleased with my products. I also glean art from thrift stores and friends and family and yard sales.
There's a photo of the Home on my site (see sig line). Yes, it is made of chickenwire and 2x4s.
I just put all the adoption cards from last year into albums, it was great to read over what went where and why, thanks to the eplayans who adopted and contributed! This project was so successful I had to ration out my original art, and I only had a handful of things which did not go to new homes. They're getting makeovers, hehehe.
The biggest difference will be a big ass No Sunday Donations sign. Sadly, folks thought the Home was a great place to dump unwanted costumes and general schtuff. And it will be "closed" at night, I find too many beer bottles and trash otherwise.
And I must say, 2006 saw some superior donations, most notably Hot Jesus, the Santa Massacree, and the stained glass Man, and some excellent woodblocks!

We've heard heaps from the twerker herself. Now, the "twerkee" is speaking out.
Robin Thicke, the self-described "twerkee" of the most talked-about VMAs since, oh, last year's show, has opened up to Oprah Winfrey about his role in the apocalyptic (if you believe Saturday Night Live) episode of rump-shaking.
"This is funny to me, it's silly," Thicke tells the talk show titan on Sunday's Oprah's Next Chapter.
"You didn't think it was sexual?" Oprah asks.
"I was on stage. I didn't see it," Thicke says. "So to me, I'm walking out towards Miley (and) I'm not thinking sex. I'm thinking fun, you know?"
"But she's twerking up against your … cojones."
"But just remember, I'm singing my butt off so I'm sitting there, I'm looking up at the sky, and I'm not really paying attention to all that," Thicke says. "That's on her."
"People ask me, 'Do you twerk?' I go, 'Listen, I'm the twerkee," ' he continues, laughing. "I'm twerked upon. I don't twerk myself, OK? I'm just twerked upon."
That said, "I wasn't offended by it personally, you know, because I think some people, they see that and they go, 'This is so sexual.' … And to me, I'm sitting there going, 'This is wacky.' "
The twerking twins, incidentally, will reunite on Dec. 16 in Washington, D.C., for Hot 99.5's Jingle Ball 2013.

Best-selling author and local celebrity John "Junior" Feinstein will be at Nationals Park for this Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants greeting fans and signing copies of his new book "Living on the Black: Two Pitchers, Two Teams, One Season to Remember," which chronicles the 2007 seasons of pitchers Tom Glavine and Mike Mussina.
I have seen no formal announcements of the event, but in an interview on this morning's Tony Kornheiser radio show, Feinstein said that he will be signing books and meeting fans outside the team store on Saturday night.

Tony Leung plays Ip Man with his old-movie charisma and reserve, but the film, despite a few splendid fights, is a biohistorical muddle that never finds its center. Maybe that's because — big mistake! — it never gets to Bruce Lee.
Read Full Review
The elegant style of the fighting sequences does more than display camera and kung fu technique — this style also shows fighters living with honor.
An historical opus that is equal parts ballet and biography, though the second component pales in comparison with the first.
Venturing into fresh creative terrain without relinquishing his familiar themes and stylistic flourishes, Hong Kong auteur Wong Kar Wai exceeds expectations with The Grandmaster, fashioning a 1930s action saga into a refined piece of commercial filmmaking.
True to Wong's style, The Grandmaster is infused with melancholy and a near-existentialist resignation to the uncertainties of fate.
The Grandmaster, may well be the definitive illustration of kung fu in all its arcane schools and intricate styles. There's never been anything like it — a seemingly endless flow of spectacular images in a story about Ip Man (Tony Leung), the legendary kung-fu master who trained Bruce Lee.
See all The Grandmaster reviews at Metacritic.com
OK for kids 14+
Beautiful martial arts, some violence, uneven storyline.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that The Grandmaster is a martial arts biopic about Ip Man, the legendary Wing Chun master who trained Bruce Lee. Director Wong Kar Wai is one of the world's most respected filmmakers, but this is one of his less acclaimed movies. Expect plenty of martial arts fighting, and though the film's focus is primarily on artistry and beauty, there's still some bone-crunching and spraying blood. "F--k" and "ass" each appear once in the English subtitles; sexuality isn't an issue, though scenes take place at a brothel (they're not graphic). One character becomes addicted to opium, and many characters, including the hero, smoke cigarettes. The same subject was covered -- quite differently -- in 2008's less artsy but more enjoyable Ip Man.
Messages: Though the movie features quite a few violent fights, it also shows how the main character uses his brain in a fight -- and sometimes doesn't fight at all. He also perseveres through some tough times and becomes a teacher.
Role models: Teens will admire Ip Man's supreme martial arts skills and should likewise understand the kind of work, training, and dedication it takes to reach that level. It's also apparent that he's not a particularly violent person; he favors precision and grace over force. He also uses his head in a fight and sometimes doesn't fight at all. There's also a strong female martial arts fighter, though her story doesn't end well.
Violence: Several martial arts fights; though the emphasis is primarily on their beauty and artistry, there's some violence involved. Some victims suffer from broken bones; viewers can hear them crunch and see them on impact. There's also some spraying blood. One combatant uses blades in a fight, and another character spits up blood after a fight.
Sex: A long sequence takes place in a brothel, though nothing graphic is shown. The women are fully clothed in fancy dress, and there's no suggestion of sex, sexual innuendo, or sexual activity. The main character is married, and while separated from his wife during the war, he entertains feelings for another woman. But he never acts on them.
Language: The words "f---er" and "ass" appear once each in English subtitles.
Consumerism: Not applicable
Drinking, drugs and smoking: A secondary character becomes addicted to opium. Many characters, including the hero, are shown smoking cigarettes throughout the movie.

Crime report critic offers no proof
Regarding the article from the March 14 Local by R. Tyson Smith, "The Crime of the Crime Report," I couldn't disagree more strongly with his allegations of racism in the Crime Report section of the Local.
I've been reading the weekly crime report almost every week for 22 years and have seen numerous situations where the alleged criminal was described as white. True, there have been infinitely more occasions when the offender was described as black, but I can only reason that has to do with the reality of the situation.
What possible reason would the Town Watch people or the Local have for omitting the race of white offenders? Because it would make "us" look bad?
Mr. Smith's assertions make no sense. Furthermore his insinuations that there is rampant crime committed by whites that is somehow omitted from the Local news reporting, based on no evidence is insulting and at the same time laughable.
He then proceeds with his rant with the injustice of the under-reporting of white collar crime to continue this conspiracy theory article. It's surprising how someone who has a doctorate degree and teaches at an Ivy League university could espouse such faulty logic.

Chestnut Hill
A legendary barber retires
The barber pole at 8140 Germantown Ave. stands at parade rest. The sign on the door, hand-written by shop-owner Frank Salemno, announces that after 75 years on the job, he has retired. He thanks his customers. We are legion, and we return the thanks. I am one who has gone faithfully to Frank's shop for decades, ranking myself about halfway up his list of haircuts per man.
I'm calculating: 6.5 visits each year – yeah, I get shaggy – times 48 years equals 312 "masterpieces" (enough brown-going-gray trimmings to stuff a sofa). The experience there was always worth the wait. And I got to brag that "I go to Frank." An honored Marine. A Veteran of Iwo Jima. A story teller. A listener. A straight arrow. A man who loves his work and does it well. A man whose workplace was like an inclusive fraternity house, where instead of a secret handshake, he gave the initiated a slap on the back of the head. And then we went on our way, feeling good.
Frank, I was going to be the guy to buy you coffee next time. Well, now that you're retired, you won't have to stand for hours and hours. You can spend more time on your boat with your feet up, fishing, and remembering all your friends.

Time to recruit a barber?
Chestnut Hill has had two wonderful barber shops, Victor's (now Angelo's) and Frank Salemno's. My understanding is that Frank has stopped coming to his barber shop, and there is nobody else to take his place.
Angelo told me that he hadn't been able to find anybody to continue operating his barber shop.
Wouldn't it make sense for the Business Association to start thinking of how to recruit a barber so we will be sure to have a barber shop in Chestnut Hill?

Courageous Yinka
I read the March 7 article "No 'pity party' for Yinka, always helping others – Courageous artist struggles to overcome depression" with interest as a mental health professional.
This remarkable young woman, Yinka Orafidiya does mention medication and psychotherapy as a treatment for depression, but one treatment option not discussed is ECT or electroconvulsive therapy (shocking, isn't it?). This treatment is often used for refractory depression (and for suicidal depression) which does not respond to medication alone.
Medication that doesn't help before ECT, often works well after ECT when the person is less depressed. I have seen hundreds of patients who have received ECT on an in-patient and out-patient basis and have seen dramatic results.
Anti-depressants can take up to 4-6 weeks to reach their optimum effect. Unfortunately, many people have very negative impressions of ECT due to movies like "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" where ECT was used as a punishment and "Beautiful Mind" where they used insulin shock therapy. I give Ms. Orafidiya much credit for speaking publicly about her struggle with chronic depression.

Jacob Piechota
Batavia, Sr., P
One of several senior stalwarts for the Upstate Eight Conference River Division champs, Western Michigan-bound lefty tied for team lead with seven wins while compiling a 1.49 ERA and striking out 68 in 61 innings. Also played first base, hitting .273 with 12 extra-base hits and 31 RBIs.
Alex Troop
Marmion, Sr., P
Michigan State-bound left-hander and Kane County Chronicle Player of the Year also shined in center field or at first base, but made most of his mark on the mound, going 5-0 with a 0.13 ERA. Batted .333 with 13 extra-base hits and 24 RBIs.
Kyle Khoury
St. Charles North, Jr., C
Threw out more than 40 percent of would-be base stealers while exhibiting what coach Todd Genke called "a blocking clinic" on balls in the dirt. Led North in home runs (three), RBIs (22) and doubles (seven) while ranking third with a .362 average.
Micah Coffey
Batavia, Sr., IF
Minnesota recruit shifted to third base from first to help solidify defense and Bulldogs' bid for special season. Hit .360 with team-best 32 RBIs as Batavia won program-best 32 games and advanced to Class 4A Schaumburg Sectional final.
Nick Derr
Geneva, So., IF
Shortstop sparked the heart of the Vikings' order and the middle of their defense while batting .372 with seven home runs and 22 RBIs. Suffered a broken finger late in the season and announced he'll transfer to IMG Academy in Florida in 2014. Committed to Florida State before entering high school.
Hunter Fiorito
Aurora Central Catholic, Jr., IF
Batavia resident delivered after taking part in Prep Baseball Report's Preseason All-State Exhibition, hitting .540 with five triples and 20 stolen bases as a slick second baseman.
Cory Wright
St. Charles North, Jr., IF/P
Helped steer North to its first regional title since 2010 with arsenal of talent. Went 6-1 with a 1.62 ERA as a top-of-the-rotation lefty and played first base on days he didn't pitch. Hit .347 with a team-best 28 RBIs as leadoff man. Will eventually take dazzling pickoff move to Kansas State.
Brannon Barry
St. Charles East, Sr., OF
Saints' vocal leader wasn't shy in center field or the middle of the order. His .402 average led the team, as Barry also contributed 10 doubles, 18 RBIs and 19 steals. Illinois State football recruit.
Jack Dennis
St. Charles North, Sr., OF
Armed with what Genke called "a sweet swing that squares up a lot of baseballs," Dennis contributed a .352 average and 19 RBIs to the North Stars' attack. Strong-armed defender who also saw time at first base.
Laren Eustace
Batavia, Sr., OF
Speedster could change the complexion of innings whenever he reached base or tracked balls in center field. Committed to Indiana, Eustace showed some pop as a leadoff man, too, hitting five home runs with 20 RBIs while batting .419.
Ben Chally
Geneva, Sr., U
Mostly the team's third baseman, Chally could fill in at a few other positions, too, after early-season injuries beset Geneva. Hit .382 with 37 RBIs while collecting three wins and four saves on the mound.

RexBull needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 225 designs submitted by 48 freelance designers.
I am a senior marketing consultant with Chief Outsiders. We outsource part-time CMOs to growth and mid-sized companies. You can check us out at http://www.chiefoutsiders.com.
The target audience is the entire construction Industry, to include both professionals (like project managers, architects and engineers) and tradesmen (like carpenters, brick layers, plumbers.)
This can be a rough and tough, generally male industry that is not typical online, but that is changing.
We are changing the name of the current website from HiringHelper.com to ConstructionConnection.com. We need a new logo and brand for the new ConstructionConnection.com website. Unfortunately I have not finalized a tagline, but would like to use "All Things Construction", in the execution.
You can checkout the current site at: http://www.hiringhelper.com. The current brand is attached in a jpg format. I would also like to use the current logo colors (Black and Yellow) in the new logo.
The reason for the name change is that the client wants to be more than a job board for the construction industry. The expanded site would become a place for the construction industry to post jobs, individuals to find jobs, companies to find other companies and supplier to help complete construction projects. The site might also include directories and other resources useful to contractors and individuals in construction. The client sees this new site, "ConstructionConnection", as becoming the worlds largest and most relevant website dedicated to the construction community, matching needs with capabilities.
The client and co-founders are passionate about the construction industry and it's people. They have over 50 years of combined construction industry experience and they want to educate, guide and help people make right choices in hiring people, companies and suppliers involved in construction.

Catching you up on the Tranzactionz
George Springer from Lancaster to Corpus.
Delino DeShields from Lexington to Corpus (Wait. It's Lancaster.).
J.D. Martinez from Houston to Oklahoma City.
Matt Downs to Oklahoma City.
Via What the Heck, Bobby:
2B Jose Fernandez from Corpus to OKC
2B Kike Hernandez from Lancaster to Corpus
RP Kenny Long from Tri-City to Lancaster
OF Andrew Aplin from Tri-City to Lancaster
Obviously this is a much-needed shuffle at the major-league level. During this epic time of losing (June 28-present), Martinez hit .231/.277/.314 with 25K:8BB and seven extra-base hits in 130 plate appearances. Downs has hit .259/.306/.379 in the same span, with three extra-base hits and two walks in 63 plate appearances.
Moves have to be made, and it's not like the Astros are trying to find out any more about 2012.
Meanwhile, the prospects move up. DeShields, in a repeat year at Lexington (where he'll be just 20 years old next week), was hitting .298/.401/.439 with 83 steals. George Springer, who reaches Double-A in 533 career plate appearances, was hitting .316/.398/.557 for Lancaster - with 131 strikeouts in 500 plate appearances, in addition to 28 stolen bases.
Get used to it, Astros fans. There's a lot of losing left this season - though with an eye toward winning on the horizon.

Not sure why he's showing anywhere as an OF this year. Enrique "Kike" Hernandez has spent about 90% of his time this year at 2B, and 70% of his minor league career has been at 2B.
- August 10, 2012 at 3:58 PM
Like the idea of giving DDJ and Springer a brief look at the next level; I expect Springer will struggle, but he might as well get an idea of the adjustments he'll need to make right now.
Still think Martinez can play; hopefully he'll get his groove back at OKC. It will also be nice to remember what winning a few games feels like.
Last year it looked like Downs might be able to establish himself as an top pinch-hitter and utility man; but while he's added a little power, his overall hitting and defense have regressed dramatically. However, one thing that Matt (and every player on the team) cannot say is that he didn't get a chance. There are dozens of competent players in AAA that have battled for years in the minors and never gotten the chance at the major league level that the Astros have given so many guys this year; unfortunately, only a few such as Harrell & Maxwell, have taken advantage.

Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary science including not only biology, but also subjects like mathematics, physics, chemistry and engineering. It is a blend of various technologies applied together to living cells for production of a particular product or for improving upon it. Its use and application ranges from fields like agriculture to industry (food, pharmaceutical, chemical, bioproducts, textiles etc.), medicine, nutrition, environmental conservation, animal sciences etc. making it one of the fastest growing fields. The work is generally carried out in the laboratories, as it is a scientific research oriented field.
Nature of Work
The nature of work of biotechnologists, being interdisciplinary, requires working together of people from different fields such as biology, chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, immunology, genetics, engineering, food science, agriculture etc. Some of the fields where biotechnology studies are applicable are as follows.
- MEDICINE AND HEALTH CARE: Biotechnology's application in this area has helped in the development of various medicines, vaccines and diagnostics. The remarkable development work carried out by biotechnologists in this field has led to improvement in the methods of diagnosis, medicines and vaccinations for diseases which once thought were incurable are no more a cause of worry, which has been a blessing for humankind.
- INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: Both the government and the private sector employ biotechnologists. They conduct research and development work, for increasing productivity, improving energy production and conservation, minimizing pollution and industrial waste etc. Biotechnologists also find opportunities at places involving activities like chemical processes, genetic engineering, textile development, cosmetic development etc..
AGRICULTURE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY: Indian
economy is very much dependent on agriculture and biotechnologists
have made major advancements in this area. Over the years, the agricultural
output has been improving, owing to the improvements in the quality of
seeds, insecticides and fertilizers. The latest technologies like micro
propagation and tissue culture has further helped agriculturists to overcome
problems like soil imbalances, genetic breeding and crop diseases. Biotechnologists
are also encouraging a shift from chemically prepared fertilizers and insecticides
to biochemicals and bioinsecticides.
Biotechnology's intervention in the area of animal husbandry has improved animal breeding. Numerous kinds of genetically engineered, high yielding animal breeds have come up which has increased the output of dairy products as well as the meat products. India has in fact, become the largest milk producer in the world
- ENVIRONMENT: Environmental biotechnology has become another area of extensive work due to the dangers brought about by increasing levels of environmental pollution. A lot of hard work is being done to protect our environment. In this field, the job of a biotechnologist spans from checking industrial air pollution levels, treatment of industrial waste to recycling of sewage sludge..
As the work is largely related to scientific research. It becomes quite important to have a good academic background in science. Hard work and high level of intelligence with a scientific bent of mind, determination, perseverance, imagination, innovative attitude, ability to work for long hours, originality, team spirit are some important essentials for becoming a successful biotechnologist.
Professional Courses
Candidates having background in science at the intermediate level can take up:
- B.Tech in Biotechnology.
- P.G. courses available are
- M.Sc. Biotechnology
- M.Sc. (Agriculture) Biotechnology
- M.V.Sc. (Animal) Biotechnology
- M.Tech. Biotechnology, M.Sc./M.V.Sc. Veterinary Biotechnology
- M.Sc. (Marine) Biotechnology
- Medical Biotechnology
- M.Tech. in Biomedical Engineering/Biotechnology.
- Ph.D. and Post-DoctoralResearch in Biotechnology can also be pursued.
Colleges, Institutions and Universities
Being an interdisciplinary subject with diverse areas of study, biotechnological procedures apply themselves to a wide range of fields allowing students from different backgrounds and interests to specialize in fields of their choice. Some of the fields of specialization are
- Molecular Biology
- Microbiology
- Biochemistry
- Biophysics
- Botany
- Zoology
- Pharmacology
- Physiology
- Horticulture
- TissueCulture
- AgriculturalEngineering
- Animal Sciences
- Dairy Technology,
- Fisheries
- Medicine,Life Sciences,
- Genetics
Career Prospects
In recent times, biotechnology as a subject has grown rapidly. And as far as employment is concerned, it has become the second fastest growing sector after multi-media. Candidates with postgraduate degree in biotechnology get absorbed in corporate and government sector, both. Qualified biotechnologists are employed in leading indian business houses and MNCs including pharmaceutical companies, chemical industries, bio-processing industries, agriculture related industries and pollution control activities of the major industries etc. They can even join government and corporate run research and development organizations. On the whole making it a good career opportunity for the bright young people.
Remuneration very much depends upon academic qualification, institute or university from which the degree is attained and the level of work experience. In the corporate sector, fresh IIT pass outs may get anything in the range of Rs. 70,000 p.a. to Rs. 85,000 p.a. and fresh B.Sc./B. Tech. graduates from other universities may get anything in the range of Rs. 50,000 p.a. to Rs. 70,000 p.a. Those workimg in the research institutes can expect something around Rs. 60,000 p.a.

I'm a student of human nature.
Do I hypnotize people? No. But I am a student of human nature. I watch body language, I read faces, I listen to nuances in tone of voice, and a whole lot more. It's how I read minds and personalities. I use the five senses to develop the sixth. Pay close attention to people, and you learn about their character and sometimes their thoughts.
I can't make people give up personal information by hypnotizing them. I don't know how, and I'm not sure it would be right. I am a student of human nature. I find people fascinating. Since I was a child I've been doing "readings", telling people feelings and thoughts that come to mind about them when I meet them.
I translate my intuitive impressions into words. It makes for fabulous entertainment, the ultimate in audience involvement.
Watch me do this live at your next event. Let me make you the star with the"Mind to Mind" show.

OK. I figured out how to do a "reset" of my phone. (I didn't know that I would lose all of my "things" I had set up as defaults. Oh well, as long as I can get this problem resolved.)
I still have the same problem. For a specific example: When I am in the "Contacts" screen and try to search for Judy, i.e. J, U, D, Y, as soon as I press the button that contains the J, all I can get is the number 5 since it is on the same key.
I have gone into "Global Settings" and changed the "Preferred Text Entry" to all of the different options from abc/multipress, t9 predictive to Last Used", but to no avail.
I have a different, but similar problem with I am in the "Search" function (the Magnifying Glass.) When I enter the J, a capital K appears at the top, but on the bottom there is 5,K,L,J & Add Word. I can highlight the J ok. Then when I enter the U, I get 8,t,v,u & Add Word. Then when I attempt to enter the D, I get 3,e,d,f & Add Word at the bottom. Once more for the last letter, I get 9,x,y,z and Add Word. This is very time consuming and not user friendly at all.
Do you have any solutions for these two problems? If not, even though I really like the program, one of primary reasons that I bought it was the ability to do searches that my version of Windows Mobile does not have. If this can not be resolved, how can I get a refund without having to cancel the charge through my Credit Card company?
Thanks for the help,

Read about a station that claimed clips from "Lost" was footage of the Air France flight and take a look at our list of must-reads that will have you chatting at the lunch counter, over IM or wherever it is that people actually talk these days.
- A Bolivian television station aired clips from "Lost" and claimed the footage from the hit TV show were the final moments aboard the Air France flight that crashed on June 1. What the news team claimed were "exclusive pictures" of the crash found on a Casio Z750 recovered from the wreckage were in fact a scene from the first season of the show in which the plane breaks apart mid-flight and passengers are sucked out of the jetliner. The video also prominently features actress Evangeline Lilly.
- A model schoolhouse used to promote the "No Child Left Behind" policy has been ripped down. The red schoolhouse that sits in front of the Department of Education was razed and the logos of the Bush-era education law are being taken down from the agency as Obama pushes through his own education reform.
- A CD of Mikhail Gorbachev singing traditional Russian songs netted $164,940 at an auction in London. A British philanthropist scooped up the lone copy, which features the former Soviet leader backed up by one of Russia's most popular rock groups. The CD was sold at a benefit to raise money for fighting childhood cancer.
- Hundreds of tape recordings and thousands of Nixon-era documents are slated to be released online today. About 154 hours of tape recordings and 30,000 documents from January and February 1973 will be released -- and are expected to reveal new details about Watergate, the war in Vietnam, to name a few of the topics covered.
- Horse owners in Europe will be asked to sign a new pledge not to eat their animals under new European Union legislation. If the owners of equines do not sign the regulations they could face prison or significant fines. A reported two million horses in Europe are eaten each year and many fear the consumption of horse meat could lead to veterinary drugs entering the water supply.

1994-2002 Dodge Ram Steering Upgrade - Ram-Proof SteeringPosted in How To: Transmission Drivetrain on June 1, 2008
Ahh, night wheeling. Full moon, lights out, a desert wash, and the sound of mud-terrains shushing through the dirt. Then, Wham! Like a shot in the dark, a mischievous 3-foot boulder jumped out of nowhere. We rammed that sucker with our right front tire at about 35 mph, launching the truck skyward, bending the wheel, and even cracking the dash. Worse, we were many miles from pavement, and the output shaft in the steering gear was twisted nearly 90 degrees. Power-steering fluid was barfing from the seal, and thanks to the newfangled serpentine-belt system on the engine, we couldn't pull the belt to bypass the steering pump. By the time we muscled the thing over a hundred miles home, the dry-spinning steering box had totally eaten itself.
It was as good an excuse as any to upgrade all that junk. Besides, our '99 Dodge Ram 2500 V-10 4x4 already had been suffering from that odd steering clunk that many owners of '94-'02 Rams complain about. In some cases that noise can be caused by the flaky slip joint in the stock steering column, and that can be cured using an aftermarket column with double needle-bearing U-joints made by Borgeson (www.borgeson.com), and sold by PSC Motorsports (www.pscmotorsports.com), among others. But that wasn't our problem.
4PhotosView Slideshow
Instead, even with just 70,000 miles on the odometer, our truck had suffered for years with a junk track bar. The track bar is used to laterally locate the front axlehousing since the Rams use coil-spring front suspensions. The problem is that the ball-type, tie-rod-end-style connector used on the frame end of the bar wears out quickly, causing a thunk and allowing the front axle to wiggle a bit. Dodge figured out the problem in '03-and-up solid-axle trucks and swapped to bushing-style connections at both ends. Meanwhile, the aftermarket has a number of solutions.
First, there's the Luke's Link (www.lukeslink.com), a rebuild kit for the frame end of '94-'02 track bars that includes a fixture that captures the ball socket of the rod ends to prevent loosening. Lindstadt Alignment (www.bellefourche.com/lindstad) also offers lower-cost basic rebuild kits for the track-bar ends. Next came brackets from Solid Steel Industries (www.solidsteel.biz) that allowed the older trucks to convert to the '03-and-up track bar. That same bracket can be used to mount the upgraded aftermarket track bars that are designed for '03-and-up trucks. KORE Performance (www.koreperformance.com) offers an '03-and-up style 4130 chromoly track bar that's stronger than stock to absorb real abuse, and Carli Suspension (www.thecarlisuspension.com) also has an '03-and-up bar with a spherical bearing on one end and a Delrin bushing on the other. DT Pro Fab (www.dtprofab.com) has an adjustable bar with Heim ends. Both '03-and-up bars and '94-'02 bolt-in replacements are offered by Thuren Fabrication (www.thurenfabrication.com), which uses a hardened stainless 1-inch Uniball at the frame end and a Delrin bushing at the other.
9PhotosView Slideshow
For our truck, we chose the newest track-bar solution, which is from Rare Parts (www.rareparts.com). It uses a stock-type bar modified to include slight adjustability (our truck is stock height) with a threaded-on frame-end housing that is case-hardened and includes a ball joint that is 11/4 inches in diameter for a claimed 47 percent increase in the surface area of the wear components as compared to the stock design.
As for the steering-box repairs, we went with PSC Motorsports, whose beefy off-road boxes we've been happy with. The company offers a number of products for Jeep, Chevy, Ford, Suzuki, and Dodge applications, including ram-assist steering if you need it. We didn't. Our choice was the company's Extreme Duty steering box. More than a standard rebuild, they are honed and trued, and all the internal components are Magnaflux-inspected and are flow-tested before shipping. The Extreme line can be identified by the billet end caps. Our box is the light-valving model (PN SG-841MX), and as the company warned us, it has very light touch and very little road feel. We wanted old-school one-finger steering and we got it. For more of a stock feel, we could have used the standard Extreme Duty model (PN SG-841M). We also used the standard-displacement pump (PN 1390); a higher-flow pump (PN 1490) is available, though it's best for lower-rpm diesels and requires extra cooling. PSC offers those coolers as well as remote-reservoir options for extra capacity and bubble reduction. So now we're all dialed in with easy steering bliss and ready for more night wheeling-with the lights on.

Editor's note: The region is
Editor's note: The region is
expecting heavy snowfall on Friday.
By M.L.Baron
FAIRHAVEN — Some called it a "Winter Hurricane." Thirty five years ago, the region was buried under more than two feet of snow from one of the most intense blizzards in 90 years.
On Monday, Feb. 6, 1978, most of New England was put at a stand still. Up to 10,000 cars, school buses and trucks were stranded in their tracks by mid afternoon. Many vehicles disappeared under the heavy wet snow.
Hurricane force winds gusted up to 92 to 115 miles per hour and created severe blizzard conditions. Thousands were evacuated from their homes along the exposed eastern shores of Massachusetts. Many returned to find their homes washed away or badly damaged.
Locally Fairhaven already had at least 12 inches of snow on the ground prior to the blizzard, but now it had an additional 26 inches on top of that along with huge drifts. Snow mobiles and four-wheel-drive trucks were the only vehicles able to navigate the streets along with the snow plows. A state of emergency and disaster area were declared over most of the Northeast. The National Guard was deployed with over 5,000 troops to assist in rescue and recovery operations.
Regionally 54 people were killed with Massachusetts taking the heaviest toll at 29. Some died in their stranded cars from carbon monoxide fumes as they kept the engine running to stay warm. Because the cars were under so much snow, the fumes from the exhaust had nowhere to go but back inside the vehicle.
I had the second shift at Merit Gas on Acushnet Avenue in New Bedford's North End that day. By the time I arrived at 2:30 p.m. there was already six inches of snow on the ground and conditions were deteriorating rapidly. Cars and trucks were already lined up into the street to gas up. I was wondering how much fuel the gas station had left to handle the demand. All 12 pumps went nonstop dispensing up to 4,000 gallons an hour into the evening as things went from bad to worse. Keep in mind most cars back then were thirsty gas guzzlers. Gasoline was about 64 cents a gallon at the time.
By 8 p.m. the snow accumulated to about 18." Only trucks were pulling in for gas as cars were either buried or couldn't handle the streets anymore. I received a call from the manager and was told to shut the station down and "get out of there" and go home while it was still safe to do so.
I refused to leave. Merit was one of the few gas stations left open. I told my boss that numerous emergency vehicles from ambulances to National Guard trucks were coming in to fuel up and I wasn't about to turn them away as long as I had fuel on hand. The wind and snow were so intense that the inside of my cashier's booth had snow drifts up against the cash register.
Aside from gas, the most sought after commodity was cigarettes. I actually had people approach my booth on foot braving the hostile elements to buy the 58-cent packs. "Macarthur Park" with Donna Summer was playing on the radio as all hell was breaking loose (as if the song wasn't bad enough).
I grew concerned that the gas station's canopy wobbling in the wind and burdened by the heavy snow was going to collapse. It never did.
I was authorized to select one of the many private snow plow operators fueling up to plow our lot. I found one and paid him $150 to plow the lot with the stipulation to bring me home at the end of my shift at about 11 p.m. We almost got stuck on Route 18 at the Fairhaven exit but we made it to my Bridge Street home in Fairhaven.
A few days after the blizzard, I did a free hand drawing of a 1978 Chevy Blazer. Four-wheel-drive vehicles were in high demand after the great blizzard. The 1978 Chevy Blazer was the most popular. Many were determined never to get stuck in their cars again by a blizzard in the Northeast.
For more on historic weather events in the Northeast, I recommend "New England's Disastrous Weather" by Yankee Books.

I don't understand why state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe takes so much criticism for being true to his values, is completely predicable and ethically unassailable.
Metcalfe has been criticized for claiming the Marburger campaign was partly financed by unions. Yet Pennsylvania campaign finance reports show contributions from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union, the Local 12 Sheet Metal Workers, the Local 27 Plumbers Union, and the Local 449 Steamfitters Union. I received many mailings in the days leading up to the primary were from Working America, the community affiliate of the AFL-CIO.
Metcalfe has been criticized for not "bringing home the bacon" to the 12th District. I guess that means that he's supposed to be a fiscally conservative tax-limiting legislator when it comes to the rest of the commonwealth, but a high-roller when it comes to his own district. Does anyone see the incongruity in that?
Finally, Metcalfe has been criticized for being a bully. If standing up for conservative principles in an open, honest, ethical fashion makes you a bully, and if refusing to broker compromise makes you a bully, then I guess I have a different definition of the word. To me, forcing a worker to join and support a union, which then works against the worker's own beliefs, is a better example of bullying.

Indian Journey Part IX: Tempting Death
July 3, 2010 in India, Travel by pacejmiller
I risked death several times during my stay in India. And no, it's not the spicy food. It's the crazy traffic that I mentioned in any earlier post.
On our second day in Hyderabad, we decided to go grab a late night snack at the luxurious Marriott Hotel at around 10pm. After finding out that a booked taxi would cost us 700 rupees to get there compared to a 50 rupee auto rickshaw ride, we opted for the latter in order to save a bit of cash. After all, the Marriott was only 4km away. How bad could it be?
Anyway, we got the hotel to arrange two autos for the four people (two in each) and they negotiated a 50 rupee fare for each one. The ride there took about 15 minutes, but it was a heart-stopping ride as the auto zig-zagged through speeding traffic and we were jolted out of our seats every time the little three-wheeled vehicle hit a bump or pot hole (and there were plenty of them). It was pretty scary, and we decided after arriving at the Marriott that 700 rupees on the way back would probably be worth it.
However, when we were ready to leave, we asked the hotel reception, who said that it would cost us 1300 rupees to get a taxi back to the Taj Tristar (where we stayed). 1300 rupees! We weighed that up against the cost of an auto ride and thought, what the heck, we'll risk our lives again.
The hotel basically told us to go out of the gates and find our own autos, which we did, thinking that it wouldn't be all that hard. After all, my marrying mate had told us that the city of Hyderabad "comes alive" after 11pm each night. I think he got "comes alive" and "drops dead" mixed up, because when we exited onto the street it was eerily quiet, not an auto to be seen anywhere.
We waited and walked around, and finally a lone auto headed our way. Realising that this was our only chance to get back to the hotel, my colleague was happy to pay double (ie 100 rupees) for the ride. The auto's driver for some reason had a companion with him in the front seat, so the four of us all squeezed into the back seat. We were basically sitting on each other's laps. I thought this was uncomfortable until I saw that it was nothing because locals often packed six or seven people into the same space! Once we even saw 10 people on a single auto!
If we thought the ride to the Marriott was rough, the ride back was ten times worse. For starters, the streets were almost completely empty, with only the occasional sedan driving in the opposite direction, usually coming right at us because this auto had no lights. "Come alive" my arse.
The auto traversed various back alleys and rough roads, and we had absolutely no idea where it was going. For all we knew they could have been driving us somewhere to rob us. Did I mention that the driver didn't exactly know where our hotel was? We showed him the hotel's business card, but he didn't look confident at all (no head wobble).
At last we arrived at a giant intersection, and the driver turned around and asked, "Left or right?" Taking a wild stab in the dark, we pointed left. Fortunately, the 50% gamble paid off and it was the right direction. Shortly after we could see the hotel. Imagine if we got it wrong?!
Unbelievably, the day the wedding concluded, we went back to the Marriott for dinner. I don't know what went through our minds, but we ended up catching autos to and back, after vowing never to risk our lives in one of those things ever again! I guess being cheapskates outweighed safety.

Chemists can monitor reactions in test tubes in their labs. Ecologists can go into the field to make observations. But earth scientists interested in the structure of Earth's deep interior don't have the luxury of seeing their subject close at hand. Without a way to travel through the earth, we have had to rely on ways to "see" Earth's structure from a great distance.
To accomplish that, our method employs sound, rather than sight. Whenever an earthquake occurs, scientists can tune in and "listen" to it. We use seismometers and seismographs that measure and record earthquake-generated seismic waves that travel along Earth's surface and through its interior, By analyzing these waves, we can infer a great deal about the characteristics of the materials the waves are traveling through.
Within the last decade, two factors have helped make seismology the pre-eminent tool for determining Earth's hidden interior structure. First, more permanent and temporary seismographs to record seismic waves have been distributed around the globe. Second, international policies have made archives of seismic data freely and widely available on the Internet to any investigator.
Today, excitement and anticipation is growing because of new generations of seismographs designed for use in the oceans. These new instruments are being built at Woods Hole and two other oceanographic institutions, and they will comprise a new national pool of instruments for use by the scientific community. This new national facility will let us monitor more of the planet with the precision we've long wished for, and thus enhance our ability to answer fundamental questions about our planet.
Until now, almost all seismic observatories have been located on land, which accounts for only 30 percent of Earth's surface. The lack of evenly distributed seismograph coverage in the oceans has limited our understanding of Earth's structure at both regional and global scales.
On a regional scale, consider the task of understanding the structure of the upper mantle beneath the small geographic region of Hawaii. Hawaii is thought to be the surface expression of a buoyant plume of hot rock in the upper mantle, possibly originating at the core-mantle boundary at a depth of about 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles). We don't know the width, temperature, or depth of the plume.
To find out, we will need to record seismic waves that travel from a known source, through the plume, to receiving seismographs. But the waves must travel through as little as possible of the rest of the earth, so that we can attribute any anomalies or alterations in the waves entirely to their passing through the plume.
Hawaii's landmass is so small, however, that land seismic stations cannot be positioned in places to intercept waves that travel through the plume at depth—so that we can measure how deep the plume is. Nor are the islands close enough together to let us accurately measure the plume's diameter. The only way to determine the plume's structure is by placing seismographs in appropriate locations to intercept waves that have traveled only through the plume—and those locations are on the seafloor.
To probe Earth's interior on a more global scale, the most useful earthquakes to study are large and deep. But such earthquakes do not occur uniformly over the planet. They happen only in specific geographic areas called subduction zones, where tectonic plates plunge back into the mantle.
Seismic waves from these earthquakes radiate through Earth's deep interior to the other side of the globe. But because existing land-based seismic stations aren't distributed uniformly on Earth's surface, we don't receive any information from many areas. That leaves us with large gaps in our knowledge about some parts of Earth's deep interior.
Very large earthquakes can actually set the whole planet vibrating in a series of oscillations, commonly likened to the ringing of a bell, which affect the entire surface of the earth. But we can't measure them over large areas where there are no seismographs, once again leaving us with an incomplete picture of Earth's interior. In fact, the optimum location to observe and measure seismic waves that pass through Earth's core lies in the central Atlantic Ocean—where there are few seismographic stations!
The oceanographic community has long recognized the need for seafloor seismic stations. Since the 1970s, several oceanographic institutions—including Woods Hole, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the University of Texas Institute of Geophysics—have designed, built, and operated ocean floor seismic-monitoring instruments, known as ocean bottom seismographs (OBSs) and ocean bottom hydrophones (OBHs). The research was funded primarily by the Office of Naval Research.
For several reasons, these first-generation OBS and OBH instruments didn't give us a clear picture of Earth's structure. They required a lot of power, had limited storage capacity, and used inexact clocks that couldn't determine (with enough accuracy) the times when waves from an earthquake arrived .
But today's seafloor seismic instruments are being built with low-power digital electronics, very large storage capacities, and high-precision clocks that drift only a millisecond a day or less. The older instruments measured earth movements with periods of a second or so, but new seafloor seismometers are sensitive to motions with periods of hundreds to tenths of seconds, which can tell us much more about the earth's deep structure. And new high dynamic range analog-to-digital converters improve upon older converters, which tended to distort both small signals (such as from a distant moderate earthquake) and large signals (such as from a large local earthquake).
Another obstacle in the early days was a limited availability of OBSs. Most early instruments were available only to investigators at institutions that built the instruments, and these investigators didn't necessarily pursue scientific questions of interest to a broader earth science community. In addition, early seismic data were stored in scattered sites and in a variety of formats, so much of the data remained inaccessible because it was hard to find and use.
Now, with National Science Foundation funding, three institutions—Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University—will form the National OBS Instrumentation Pool.
Each institution will design, build, and operate instruments, and provide engineering and technical support to deploy the instruments on the seafloor. Investigators can request to use OBSs from the national facility as a part of the standard NSF proposal process, and other private and public organizations can use them as availability permits. All data collected with these new instruments will be centrally archived at the same national data repository used by the US land seismological community. After two years' proprietary access for investigators, the data will be available to all.
WHOI and SIO each will build and operate two distinct types of OBSs. One will be used for short deployments to record predominantly short-period (i.e. high-frequency) Earth motions. The other can be deployed for a year or more to record Earth motions over a much broader range of periods.
Short-period OBSs are usually used in closely spaced arrays for durations of days. They typically record seismic waves from artificial sources, such as those used by the oil-exploration industry, which use compressed air to produce a brief wave pulse. These instruments are used to determine the structure of the outer tens of kilometers of the seafloor.
The WHOI short-period OBSs, called "D2," have a six-month battery capacity and are equipped with a seismometer and a hydrophone. They can detect Earth motions in both vertical and horizontal directions, and can even record small, short-period earthquakes, such as those associated with hydrothermal vent activity.
In typical experiments using short-period OBSs, large numbers of instruments must be deployed repeatedly during 30-day cruises. So the D2s were designed to be small and light, for easy recovery. They don't need to be opened at sea; instead recorded data can be offloaded easily onto a shipboard data-storage system over an Internet connection.
The first short-deployment experiments using D2s were completed in the summer of 2002. In April of 2004, we will undertake our first really challenging experiment, deploying and recovering some 150 D2s during a 35-day cruise.
All three institutions are building long-deployment OBSs. These carry long-period pressure sensors and seismometers capable of recording Earth motions with periods ranging from about 40 seconds to 0.1 seconds. The WHOI long-deployment OBS will have the same data logger used in the D2 OBS, but will be equipped with a WHOI-designed acoustic modem that will let investigators on research vessels remotely retrieve data from the OBS sitting on the seafloor. This capability will allow investigators to check that the OBS is performing adequately before the ship leaves the area for a year.
The first long-term deployment is scheduled to take place in November/December 2004 off Hawaii in the Plume Lithosphere Undersea Melt Experiment (PLUME). The goal of this two-year long experiment—a collaboration between WHOI, SIO, the University of Hawaii, and the Carnegie Institution of Washington—is to image the Hawaiian plume. This one experiment has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of how Earth's mantle convects.
For earth scientists, the future looks bright, and will sound even better.

At the moment, Mickie James and Kenny Dykstra aren't on the WrestleMania 23 card. But that hasn't stopped them from heading out to promote the show.
On Tuesday, the real-life couple took part in a WWE promotion with VIA Rail, taking a train from Toronto's Union Station to London, Ontario. VIA and WWE have a WrestleMania package set up to get fans to Windsor for 'Mania on April 1st.
WrestleMania is on everybody's mind in the dressing room, said Dykstra, formerly of The Spirit Squad. "Everybody's pretty hyped up about it," Dykstra told a wire service. "People started training early for this. It's definitely going to be something big."
James, a former two-time WWE women's champion, will also be on the outside looking in after losing her title to fellow diva Melina two weeks ago on RAW. James admitted she would much rather be in action at Ford Field on April 1, after capturing her first women's title in her Wrestlemania debut one year earlier.
"Obviously it's not the same as wrestling in your first women's title match at your first Wrestlemania, but it's definitely a lot of fun," said James. "I love to see how people react to it all, and have them come out and enjoy it."
James will watch Melina defend her newly won title against Ashley Massaro, the newest member of the WWE diva stable who recently posed for Playboy. But the 27-year-old James is just glad to be OK after taking a hard fall in her loss to Melina.
Late in the March 5 match, James attempted a hurricanrana -- a high-risk head-scissors move from the turnbuckle -- but instead fell on her neck, crumpling in a heap on the mat. James was stiff and sore afterwards, but escaped serious injury.
"I didn't realize how bad it was until I watched it again," said James. "In hindsight, you're like, 'maybe I'll be more cautious or careful.' But I'm stubborn, so we'll have to see."
During the stop in Toronto, James and Dykstra, who have been engaged for almost a year, took questions from about 50 fans, signed autographs, asked wrestling-related trivia questions and gave away tickets to the May RAW in Toronto.

by Sue Ann Rybak
A Nobel Laureate recently spoke about "How to win a Nobel Prize" on Sept. 11 at Chestnut Hill College's 20th anniversary of its Biomedical Lecture Series. Dr. Michael S. Brown, 72, who grew up in Elkins Park, said an amateur radio operating license obtained at the age of 13, while a student at Thomas Williams Junior High School in Wyncote, sparked his passion for science.
In an interview with the Local prior to Brown's presentation, the Cheltenham High School graduate said he and a friend used to build their equipment from various parts or kits. "I would usually finish around 3 a.m.," Brown said. "I would plug it in and blow every fuse in the house. My parents were not very happy with this hobby. What made it scientific was you had to go back over the entire thing step by step and figure out what you had done wrong. And that's the essence of science because experiments never work the first time."
He said it was a good introduction into science. "I wish we didn't have courses called science with a capital 'S.' It's ridiculous. Science isn't something that is dictated by some text book. There is science in cooking. There is science in everything. In fabrics in the clothes we are wearing. There is science in every aspect of our lives."
Brown and his longtime colleague Dr. Joseph Goldstein received the 1985 Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the regulation of cholesterol metabolism." Their findings led to the development of statin drugs, the cholesterol-lowering compounds that are used by millions of Americans as some of the most widely prescribed medications in the U.S., helping to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
The Biomedical Lecture series was created by Lakshmi Atchison, professor of biology at Chestnut Hill College, to expose students to cutting-edge research in the biomedical field. Sr. Carol Jean Vale, Chestnut Hill College president, said the series is unique because it provides students the opportunity to interact with prominent scientific and medical professionals. Before the lecture, Brown met with faulty and science students for an afternoon tea followed by a Q & A session.
"While we learn a great deal from textbooks and glean important lessons from experiments, nothing teaches us as well as the example of great teachers who are also great human beings," Vale said.
Brown said he saw his role as a physician not only to heal patients but also to understand why some people develop diseases and others don't. "Joe and I shared an interest in understanding the basic biology of disease," said Brown, whose friendship with Goldstein spans over four decades.
While working as fellows at the National Institutes of Health, Brown and Goldstein were confronted daily by rare medical cases. But one case involving a six and eight-year-old sister and brother suffering from heart attacks became the basis of their award-winning research.
The children had familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic disease in which excess cholesterol accumulates in blood and tissues. After running tests, Brown and Goldstein discovered that the children's cholesterol level was 1000 mg, 10 times the rate of a normal child. They placed the children on a no-cholesterol diet of rice and vegetables, but after six months there was no change in the patients' test results.
"We were extremely frustrated as physicians that there was nothing we could do for them," Brown said. "For some reason other physicians and scientists weren't thinking seriously about this condition. They just looked at these children as some sort of far-end spectrum of cholesterol."
Both Brown and Goldstein believed the abnormally high cholesterol levels, which were causing the heart attacks, were the result of genetics. "Nobody knew anything about any genes back in the early '70s," Brown said. "The idea that you could clone DNA and have a piece of a gene in your hand was unbelievably foreign. If you would have told me that in 1972, it would have been the same as me telling you that in the next 20 years we will have a colony of men living on Mars. It was just that incredible."
After 10 years of research, Brown and Goldstein discovered that people have receptors on their cells that remove LDL ("bad cholesterol") from the blood, but people with familial hypercholesterolemia have mutations in their genes that inhibit the cells from absorbing the cholesterol. The build-up of cholesterol ultimately leads to blockages in arteries and can cause heart attacks.
In Brown's presentation "How to Win a Nobel Prize," he discussed how his relationships, decisions and love of learning led him to eventually win the Nobel prize.
"Be curious.
Train with a Nobel prizewinner.
Find a partner with whom to share the adventure.
Find a problem that fascinates you.
Find someone to pay for your work.
Work very hard.
Solve the problem.
Be lucky.
Pick the right spouse."
The presentation, which was meant to be both entertaining and enlightening, focused predominantly on the important role of forming life-long partnerships and passion for learning. "Unfortunately, people think science is an I.Q. Test," Brown said. "People who go into science think it's an individual sport that shouldn't be shared with anybody."
And what happened to the children with familial hypercholesterolemia? Brown later learned that while the little boy had died, his six-year-old sister was still alive. After Brown and Goldstein were able to discover what was causing their high cholesterol level, other doctors developed a machine to help remove the cholesterol from her blood.
"There is hope," said Brown, "and if you understand what the cause of the thing is, then people with ingenuity will find ways to use that information to treat people."
Update 10/10/13 — An earlier version of this article erroneously stated "A Nobel Laureate recently spoke about "Why Hearts Attack."
