  • Fall 2019 Newsletter
    Pinnacle News Windmill Hill Pinnacle Association FALL 2019 History of the Soapstone Quarries in the Athens Dome Area The Pinnacle Association now owns several historic sites in the Athens Dome area connected with the mining of soapstone, including the remains of a mill, slag heap, boarding house for the workers, barn for the oxen, and multiple quarries cuts in the land. While mining there ceased in the early 1900s, there is interesting evidence remaining of this historic industry. Soapstone is a close relative of talc, with a soft feel similar to soap. It has an exceptional ability to absorb heat without cracking, and to slowly release that heat. It can be cut with a handsaw or ax, and carved with a pocket knife. Grafton soapstone is bluish-gray in color. Early Grafton pioneers first discovered and quarried this deposit of soap- stone in 1784, carving pieces into household items such as foot and hand warm- ers, ink wells, and hearth-stones. Many examples can be found at the Grafton Historical Society in Grafton village (across from the store). Between 1825 and 1910 the quarries were a significant business. By the 1840’s Grafton was the largest producer of soapstone in Vermont and one of the two largest in the United States. Ten to fifteen men worked the quarries. Once the blocks were extracted they were hauled down the mountain on ox drawn wagons to the finishing mill in Cambridgeport. By-product pieces of soapstone from that mill can be found in the Saxtons River gravel banks today, near the bridge.

  • Users' Role in Innovation Processes in the Sports
    September 2009 Users’ role in innovation processes in the sports equipment industry – experiences and lessons • Categorisation of different users and types of innovations in the sports equipment industry • Presentation of different firms’ experience with user involvement in innovation practice • Examples of user involvement in innovation processes in the sports equipment and outdoor industries Authors: Hans Olav Bråtå, Svein Erik Hagen, Atle Hauge, Tanja Kotro, Mikko Orrenmaa, Dominic Power, Petteri Repo Participants Finland Sweden National Consumer Research Centre University of Uppsala Tanja Kotro Dominic Power Senior Researcher Professor Mikko Orrenmaa Atle Hauge Research Assistant Ph.D. Petteri Repo Senior Researcher Norway Eastern Norway Research Institute Hans Olav Bråtå Senior Researcher Svein Erik Hagen Senior Researcher III IV Title: Users´ role in innovation processes in the sports equipment industry Nordic Innovation Centre project number: 07028 Author(s): Hans Olav Bråtå, Svein Erik Hagen, Atle Hauge, Tanja Kotro, Mikko Orrenmaa, Dominic Power, Petteri Repo Institution(s): Eastern Norway Research Institute, National Consumer Research Centre, University of Uppsala Abstract: The main objective of this project is to contribute to our knowledge about user-driven innovation and to suggest how knowledge on user-driven innovation may be included in innovation efforts and systems both for the sports equipment industry and for other industries. The study is primarily based on case studies of how firms within the Nordic sports equipment and outdoor industry involve users in their innovation efforts. Our studies concentrate on firms producing equipment for winter sport and outdoor recreation. The study builds upon a large number of interviews with firms and key persons as well as extensive analysis of available written material and research literature.

  • Alpine Adventures Ski Equipment
    Ski Equipment Download This Page (420K) In the Adirondacks, thick trees on steep slopes are common, and when our objective involves this type of terrain we use snowshoes. But when open slides, trails and glades with well-spaced trees are on the menu, we’ll choose skis with a smile every time because skiing, when it’s good, is one of life’s great joys! We provide packs and accessories for use during our ski programs – or bring your own if you prefer. You need to provide appropriate ski equipment (skis, boots and poles), clothing, and personal accessories. For overnight trips, we provide all group gear such as tents, stoves, cook sets and emergency equipment; you will need to provide your own sleeping bag, pad and pack. In some mountain environments, clothing can be as important to your safety as a rope. Please visit our Equipment page for an in- depth discussion of technical clothing. Included are topics on: heat and moisture management, outdoor fabrics, fit considerations for clothing and footwear, purchasing suggestions, and much more. If you are not very familiar with specialized outdoor clothing we The right equipment makes all the suggest you carefully review this page. difference In the section below, we have tried to give you a range of choices to help guide you in the acquisition of equipment and specialized clothing. There is no one “best way” to outfit yourself and cost will inevitably enter into your purchase decisions. Our opinions regarding equipment and clothing for any given purpose are based upon our experience using the equipment extensively in the Adirondacks.

The molecular machinery of membrane dynamics driving microautophagy is still elusive. Using immunochemical monitoring of yeast vacuolar transmembrane proteins, Vph1 and Pho8, fused to fluorescent proteins, we obtained evidence showing an induction of microautophagy after a diauxic shift in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Safe Committee Members, Gary R. Kunkel David O. Peterson James C. Sacchettini Head of Department, Gregory D. Reinhart August 2011 Major Subject: Biochemistry ii iii ABSTRACT Mechanistic Investigation of Tolfenamic Acid, Betulinic Acid, and Aspirin in Anti- Cancer Therapy. (August 2011) Xinyi Liu, B.MS., Chongqing Medical University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Stephen H. Safe Tolfenamic acid (TA), betulinic acid (BA) and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) are anticancer drugs, and Sp1, Sp3, Sp4 (Sps) transcription factors and growth factor 2 (EGFR2, HER2 / ErbB2) are important molecular markers in cancer cells. In this study, the molecular mechanisms by which these anticancer drugs target downregulation of Sps and ErbB2 were investigated in breast cancer cells. TA inhibits growth of ErbB2-overexpressing BT474 and SKBR3 breast cancer cells by inhibiting ErbB2 expression. TA downregulates ErbB2 mRNA expression and promoter activity, and TA also decreased expression of the YY1 and AP-2 transcription factors that are required for basal ErbB2 expression. These effects were accompanied by decreased ErbB2-dependent kinase activities, induction of p27, and decreased expression of cyclin D1.
