Dr. Wands is a Professor of Gastroenterology and Medicine at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Wands' proposal which is titled, “Aspartate asparaginyl beta- hydroxylase (ASPH) as an etiologic factor in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)” has received $65,000 from the National CFIDS Foundation. Dr. Wands has over 600 peer-reviewed medical journal articles in publication. According to the Foundation, there is evidence that ASPH may be accumulating in the cells of CFS patients. As such, this can dramatically impact the body's response to oxidative stress and hypoxia. Wands has planned both in-vitro as well as in-vivo studies in an attempt to understand the upregulation of ASPH on cell migration and signaling through various cellular pathways following exposure to an oxidative injury. Wands will also be comparing CFS patient samples with those of hepatic cancer patients with cancer-related fatigue. In addition, Wands has evidence that ASPH overexpression may be a risk factor for the early development of cancer which may be associated with CFS before the disease becomes clinically apparent or in other words, CFS as a pre-malignancy. Wands has observed this in pancreatic cancer patients. This is of importance since the National Cancer Institute has previously reported that CFS has been associated with increases in pancreatic cancer.

  • The State of Maine K-12 Science and Mathematics Preservice Education 2010-2015
    The state of Maine K-12 science and mathematics preservice education 2010-2015 Thomas E. Keller March 2018 For more information: Email [email protected] Or visit www.mmsa.org Abstract Five years of data reported by the US Department of Education Title 2 Higher Education Act on teacher preparation program completers in Maine were analyzed and reviewed along with Maine Department of teacher certification and endorsements. This analysis focused on teachers of science and mathematics such as general elementary teachers, secondary life science teachers, secondary physical science teachers, and secondary mathematics teachers. These are the teachers who teach STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) although there is currently no certification for integrated STEM teaching. Findings included: • Smaller and often private institutions are producing disproportional numbers of teachers of math and science graduating from undergraduate programs. For example, in AY 2014-15, Bowdoin College and the University of New England prepared as many secondary physical science teachers as did the two largest teacher preparation programs in the state, the University of Maine and the University of Maine at Farmington. This was only one teacher each. • In terms of production, between 255 and 409 (aver = 339) elementary teachers are prepared each year; between 8 and 27 (aver = 19) secondary life science teachers are prepared each year; between 5 and 16 (aver = 10) secondary physical science teachers are prepared each year; and, between 15 and 38 (aver = 33) secondary mathematics teachers are prepared each year when the efforts of all undergraduate programs in Maine are considered. • The Maine Department of Education is unable to disaggregate data on teacher recruitment making any statements on supply and demand moot.

Reineke: We’re here at my current employer, which is Hill & Knowlton, Inc. It’s a public relations firm, and we’re located at the Merchandise Mart in downtown Chicago. DePue: Which has a fascinating history itself. Someday I’ll have to delve into that one. We’re obviously here to talk about your experiences in the Edgar administration, but you had a lot of years working with Jim Thompson as well, so we’re going to take quite a bit of time. In today’s session, I don’t know that we’ll get to much of the Edgar experience because you’ve got enough information to talk about before that time, which is valuable history for us.

  • EL GAUCHO $81 'Fee' Increase
    EL GAUCHO $81 'Fee' Increase Vol. 48 - No. 111 Santa Barbara, California Monday, April 22, 1968 Approved by Regents By NINA PINSKY EG City Editor DAVIS—What Governor Reagan called a «sm all step that still confronts us*’ and what some Regents referred to as ‘ taxation with representation” resulted in an increased $81 student fee, passed Friday by the Board of Regents. The increase, which will bring an estimated additional $8 million to the University, as passed by a 17-6 vote after a two- hour discussion. Santa Barbara students will now pay $348 annually or $116 per quarter. Out of state student fees have also been increased by $400, so that at Santa Barbara out of state students will now pay $ 748 a year. Reasons for passage of the fee hike were attributed to a need to offset increases in fees for students in financial need, to add $2 to the $73 per quarter Incidental Fees, to supplement services performed by the Dean of Students Offices, and to give financial aid to those economically underprivileged students who could not normally attend the University. Broken down in terms of actual dollars, an estimated $3 million will offset the increase itself, an additional $600,000 will go toward the Incidental fees, $600,000 will be added to the Dean of Students offices, $3.725 million will be used for scholarships and their administration, and an estimated $1.7 million will go TWO PUSHERS-----Members of the winning Villa-Marina pushcart team round a curve on their way to toward increased revenues.

  • The Nuclear Freeze Campaign and the Role of Organizers
    Week Three Reading Guide: The Nuclear Freeze campaign and the role of organizers The reading by Redekop has been replaced by a book review by Randall Forsberg, and the long rough- cut video interview of Forsberg has been replaced by a shorter, more focused one. We start the first day with a brief discussion of Gusterson’s second article, building on the previous long discussion of the first one. September 23, 2019 Gusterson, H. 1999, “Feminist Militarism,” PoLAR: Political and Legal Anthropology Review 22.2, 17; https://doi.org/10.1525/pol.1999.22.2.17 This article focuses on the feminist themes Gusterson touched on in his earlier one. He begins restating the essentialist position and its opposition by feminists via “social constructedness.” Second-wave feminism started with Simone de Beauvoir’s idea that gender is constructed (“One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman”) and extending to post-structuralist Judith Butler, for whom gender is a performance, potentially fluid, learned and practiced daily based on cultural norms and discourses. Gusterson is intrigued by the idea of feminist militarism as performance. “If we weren’t feminists when we went in [to the military], we were when we came out.” What was meant by this? How does the military culture described in the article reflect gender essentialism? On p. 22, Gusterson argues that the women’s movement and the peace movement “remake their mythic narratives… through the tropes of revitalization.” What does he mean by this? Do you agree or disagree? Why? Is feminist militarism feminist? Does your answer depend on whether you adopt essentialist or constructivist reasoning? Wittner, L.

  • Support K-12 Computer Science Education in Maine
    Support K-12 Computer Science Education in Maine Computer science drives job growth and innovation throughout our economy and society. Computing occupations are the number 1 source of all new wages in the U.S. and make up over half of all projected new jobs in STEM fields, making Computer Science one of the most in- demand college degrees. And computing is used all around us and in virtually every field. It’s foundational knowledge that all students need. But computer science is marginalized throughout education. Only 45% of U.S. high schools teach any computer science courses and only 11% of bachelor's degrees are in Computer Science. We need to improve access for all students, including groups who have traditionally been underrepresented. In Maine, there are currently 1,597 open computing jobs with an average salary of $81,965. Yet, there were only 152 graduates in computer science in 2018 and only 56% of all public high schools teach a foundational course. Computer science in Maine Only 298 exams were taken in AP Computer Science by high school students in Maine in 2020 (119 took AP CS A and 179 took AP CSP). Only 30% were taken by female students (22% for AP CS A and 35% for AP CSP); only 12 exams were taken by Hispanic/Latino/Latina students (5 took AP CS A and 7 took AP CSP); only 3 exams were taken by Black/African American students (2 took AP CS A and 1 took AP CSP); only 1 exam was taken by Native American/Alaskan students (0 took AP CS A and 1 took AP CSP); no exams were taken by Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander students.
