First-ever imaging of cells growing on spherical surfaces

ScienceDaily (Sep. 21, 2012) ? Shengyuan Yang, Florida Institute of Technology assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, with graduate student Sang Joo Lee, has published a paper on the first-ever imaging of cells growing on spherical surfaces. The paper is published in the online journal Review of Scientific Instruments, and will appear later in September in the print version.

The potential biomedical applications of the researchers' technique include new strategies and devices for the early detection and isolation of cancer cells, facilitating new methods of treating cancer tissues. "We also foresee new strategies and techniques to control the differentiation of stem cells and the morphologies and structures of the resulting cells and tissues," said Yang.

The effects of substrate stiffness on cell behaviors have been extensively studied; however, the effects of substrate curvature are not well-documented. The curvature of the surface on which cells adhere can have profound effects on cell behaviors, according to Yang.

"To reveal these cell mechano-biological responses to substrate curvatures, we have introduced a novel, simple, and flexible class of substrates, polyacrylamide gels embedded with micro glass balls ranging in diameter from 5 mm to 2 mm, to culture cells. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first experimental attempt to study cell responses to spherically-shaped substrates. Our cell culture experiments imply that this class of substrates, micro glass ball embedded gels, can be useful tools to study cell mechanobiological responses to substrate curvatures, related cell and tissue engineering researches, and biomedical applications, such as cancer detection and treatment, and the control of stem cell differentiations, for example," said Yang.

This work was supported with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Program. The reviewer of this paper at Review of Scientific Instruments commented, according to Yang: "This is a clever idea. . . This work has great potentials with high impact."

CLEVELAND (AP) ? Sixteen Amish men and women were convicted Thursday of hate crimes for a series of hair- and beard- cutting attacks on fellow sect members in a religious dispute that offered a rare and sometimes lurid glimpse into the closed and usually self-regulating community of believers.

A federal jury found 66-year-old Samuel Mullet Sr., the leader of the breakaway group, guilty of orchestrating the cuttings last fall in an attempt to shame mainstream members who he believed were straying from their beliefs. His followers were found guilty of carrying out the attacks, which terrorized the normally peaceful religious settlement that aims to live simply and piously.

Prosecutors and witnesses described how sons pulled their father out of bed and chopped off his beard in the moonlight and how women surrounded their mother-in-law and cut off two feet of her hair, taking it down to the scalp in some places.

Prosecutors say they targeted hair because it carries spiritual significance in their faith.

The defendants face prison terms of 10 years or more at their Jan. 24 sentencing. Prosecutors plan to file a request Friday to revoke bond for defendants who had remained free pending trial.

All the defendants are members of Mullet's settlement that he founded in eastern Ohio near the West Virginia panhandle. The Amish eschew many conveniences of modern life, including electrical appliances and automobiles, and embrace their centuries-old roots.

Federal officials said the verdicts would send a message about religious intolerance.

"The victims in this case are members of a peaceful and traditional religion who simply wanted to be left to practice their religion in peace," U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach said. "Unfortunately, the defendants denied them this basic right and they did so in the most violent way."

Members of the Amish community who sat through the trial hurried into a hired van without commenting, some covering their faces.

Defense attorneys said the defendants were bewildered by the verdicts and said likely appeals would be based on a challenge to the hate crimes law.

"They really don't understand the court system the way the rest of us have, being educated and reading newspapers," said Joseph Dubyak, whose client, Linda Schrock, has 10 children with her husband, who was also convicted.

Attorney Rhonda Kotnik said the verdicts would destroy Mullet's community of about 25 families. The defendants, including six couples, have a total of about 50 children, she said.

"The community is going to be ripped apart. I don't know what's going to happen to all their children," she said.

The suspects had argued that the Amish are bound by different rules guided by their religion and that the government had no place getting involved in what amounted to a family or church dispute.

Mullet wasn't accused of cutting anyone's hair. But prosecutors said he planned and encouraged his sons and the others, mocked the victims in jailhouse phone calls and was given a paper bag stuffed with the hair of one victim.

One bishop told jurors his chest-length beard was chopped to within 1? inches of his chin when four or five men dragged him out of his farmhouse in a late-night home invasion.

Prosecutors told jurors that Mullet thought he was above the law and free to discipline those who went against him based on his religious beliefs. Before his arrest last November, he defended what he believes is his right to punish people who break church laws.

"You have your laws on the road and the town ? if somebody doesn't obey them, you punish them. But I'm not allowed to punish the church people?" Mullet told The Associated Press last October.

The hair cuttings, he said, were a response to continuous criticism he'd received from other Amish religious leaders about him being too strict, including shunning people in his own group.

Defense attorneys acknowledged that the hair cuttings took place and that crimes were committed but contend that prosecutors were overreaching by calling them hate crimes.

Witnesses testified that Mullet had complete control over the settlement that he founded two decades ago and described how his religious teachings and methods of punishments deviated from Amish traditions.

One woman testified that Mullet coerced women at his settlement into having sex with him, and others said he encouraged men to sleep in chicken coops as punishment.

Mullet's attorney, Ed Bryan, maintained that the government had not shown that Mullet was at the center of the attacks. The defendants who cut the hair and beards acted on their own and were inspired by one another, not their bishop, Bryan said.

In one of the attacks, an Amish woman testified that her own sons and a daughter who lived in Mullet's community cut her hair and her husband's beard in a surprise assault.

$22 billion parents give their children annually and its no surprise ...

Press Service International for Christian Today Australia - Mark Tronson

Thursday, 20 September 2012, 6:18 (EST)

$22 billion parents give their children annually and its no surprise given the baby boomer generation

Fathers Day 2012 ? Mark and Wesley Tronson, one of Christian Today Australia's young writers Lisel O'Dwyer of the University of Adelaide was the lead researcher in a study funded by National Seniors examined the transfer of money and time between Australians aged 50 and over to their children and elderly parents.

The Sydney Morning Herald's Adele Horin unpicked the data in her article ?Generation IOU parents fork out $22 billion a year to help their children?. (www.smh.com.au)

Horin makes the telling point that parents spend about as much on their adult children as the federal government spends on the health system. $22 billion given to their adult children and $1 billion given to elderly parents.

Moreover, the baby boomer generation give four to five hours a week giving practical help to elderly parents or minding grandchildren - though Horin highlights from the report that some do much more and some do little. The practical help was valued at $30 billion a year based on an hourly average wage.

Almost 70 per cent of the money is given as a gift, not a loan by these parents whose median age is 58. In addition 40% of those over 80 give $1 billion to their grand children unassociated with their Wills which is another matter altogether.

Horin also pointed out that Dr O'Dwyer who presented the findings to the Australian Institute of Family Studies conference, said whether people were rich or poor made no difference to the amount of practical help they gave their elderly parents.

The conclusions drawn are that family solidarity is very strong in Australia but that elderly parents were seen as an obligation where giving to their children is seen as a pleasure. The downside is that minding the grand children should be a choice not a duty.

None of us should be surprised by any of these findings. As a father of four adult children and grand father everything about these findings ring true to our situation and our associates of similar age.

Observations

The Australian baby boomer generation has been the beneficiaries of an economic era of astonishing benefits which have included superannuation, long service leave, sickness benefits, healthy incomes, health care, Centrelink family benefits, bank accounts, investments and remarkably high percentages of home ownership.

There has never been a generation in history so wealthy, so abundantly catered for and with so much disposable income.

My wife of 35 years and I were financially assisted by our respective parents before marriage in that we each purchased a first home. When we married those properties were sold and our own first home was purchased with a very small mortgage paid off when I was 33 and thus allowing us to move into ?faith financial ministry?.

This kind of story was not uncommon in various measures however baby boomers have been home owners with mortgages paid off by their '50s or shortly thereafter. They in turn have been able to help their own children, particularly in the light of some difficult economic situations associated with the GFC.

But the overwhelming emphasis has been on getting that first property whether it be a home on the quarter acre block in the suburbs or a town house or unit of some description. The baby boomer generation has impressed this upon their children.

Other considerations

But it is not all sweet and delicious. A recent report from News.com suggests that there will be nothing left for Generation Z to inherit. It is being given away now. (www.news.com.au)

There is also a section of the community who have not had such good role models or have made poor investment or business decisions finding themselves in embarrassingly difficult financial straits. This group have not been able to help their children or their elderly parents.

As a Baptist minister of 35 years I'm able to recount innumerable such situations. The most common is where an elderly parent, now a widow, sold their family home and the funds were mishandled by well meaning children with poor financial decisions. The nest egg for their elderly parent's later nursing home needs has been greatly diminished or lost. Family relationships between siblings become strained over such issues.

On a brighter note, Christian churches and missions have likewise benefited as there has been so much disposable income available. Major building projects have been generously funded along with many missionary endeavours to the four quarters of the earth.

Dr Mark Tronson is a Baptist minister (retired) who served as the Australian cricket team chaplain for 17 years (2000 ret) and established Life After Cricket in 2001. He was recognised by the Olympic Ministry Medal in 2009 presented by Carl Lewis Olympian of the Century. He has written 24 books, and enjoys writing. He is married to Delma, with four adult children and grand-children.

The Correct Cost Estimate for Your Roof Replacement Project to ...

From installation of the roof up until its upgrade-- and the once-a-year cost of maintenance for its whole life-- your rooftop needs a major financial commitment. So if you're preparing to switch to a better roofing system, or merely prefer to change your aged shingles, consider your budget or the amount of hard earned cash you're prepared to spend. Below are a few advices to assist you to deduce the cost of changing your rooftop:

Find out the Pitch and Area of Your Roof covering.

Measure the area of your roofing system from its pitch, rise, and slope. For precise guide, use internet resources and the web-based calculator to conduct your computations. Try to remember the rule: the steeper and wider your roof covering, the bigger the cost for replacement.

Assess the Intricacy of Changing Your Roofing System.

As soon as your roofing avoids the typical, the more difficult it will be to switch out. Multiple dormers, skylights, and solar energy panels can make the job difficult for roofing contractors and may even require the use of customized tools. The more daunting the roof replacement job, the more money you'll have to spend for material and labor.

Take into account the Roofing Material You Choose.

If the humid continental climate of Spokane, Washington has taken its toll on your roof covering, latest kinds of roofing materials are more resilient and energy effective. You can consult roofing contractors Spokane WA households frequently speak with relating to what supplies will most effectively fit your home and budget. As an example, asphalt shingles are more economical than metal sheets. At the same time, setting up of the material and some roofing systems necessitate roofing contractors with special training and certain skills.

Request an Estimate from a Roofing Contractor.

There are lots of roofing contractors Spokane WA who supply free estimates to would-be clients. They'll inspect your residence and inquire about your inclinations. Based on their evaluations and your selections, they'll figure and present you a price quote, which includes the labor, material, and other replacement charges.

Before changing the aged and disintegrating roofing Spokane roofing firms encourage you to speak to accomplished professional roofing professionals relating to the different roofing materials out there ideal for your home and your funds. Expert replacement work also makes sure that the service will be carried out punctually without hassles or impediments.

Chicago strike: It's back to school as teachers accept key reforms (+video)

Mayor Rahm Emanuel hailed the agreement ending the Chicago school strike as 'an honest compromise.' The union made concessions on both teacher evaluations and seniority. Schools reopen Wednesday.

A strike by Chicago schoolteachers that left most Chicago public schools shuttered for seven days ended late Tuesday afternoon after 800 union delegates voted to sign off on a negotiated three-year contract that Mayor Rahm Emanuel hailed as constituting ?an honest compromise.?

The nearly 350,000 schoolchildren enrolled in Chicago?s schools will return to classes Wednesday.

The strike was the first in Chicago in 25 years. Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis acknowledged that her side failed to receive ?a perfect contract? but asked, in a press conference, ?do we stay on strike forever until every little thing we want can be gotten??

The settlement, which included teacher concessions on evaluations and seniority, prevents what would have been an ominous next step for the teachers union: court.

On Monday, after the union said it needed several more days to scrutinize the negotiated contract given to them over the weekend, Mayor Emanuel directed the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) system to file a complain in the Circuit Court of Cook County saying the strike was illegal under Illinois state law because it was based on more than just wages and benefits.

Emanuel added a second reason for the strike?s illegality: it threatened public health safety. The complaint emphasized that the public schools were considered a safe haven for children in impoverished neighborhoods.

A Cook County judge had scheduled a hearing on the matter Wednesday if both sides failed to reach an agreement Tuesday.

In the end, the union conceded to two major reforms demanded by Emanuel since the beginning: a more rigorous system evaluating teachers and the ability of principals to hire or fire teachers based on performance and not necessarily seniority.

The new contract, which extends over three years with an option to renew a fourth, factors student growth in accounting for 25 percent of year-end teacher evaluations in years one and two and 30 percent in the third year. Student surveys will add to the evaluation starting in the second year.?

Principals will continue as decision-makers in hiring, but layoffs, for the first time in CPS history, will be determined by the level of teacher performance in the classroom, starting with those with the lowest evaluation ratings. Also for the first time, CPS will establish hiring practices that fast-track highly rated teachers who are laid-off because of school consolidations or closings for open positions at other schools in the system.

The CPS school day will also be extended: 75 minutes for elementary students and a half hour for high school students. The school year will be extended two weeks for all students.

The contract agreement provides teachers with a base salary raise of 3 percent in the first year and 2 percent in each of the next two years. If the contract is extended a fourth year, teachers would receive a 3 percent raise. Teachers are also eligible for raises for their years of experience and master?s degrees. The Chicago Public Schools says raises would be 17.6 percent on average over four years. Under past contracts, teachers received an automatic wage increase of 4 percent.

"In this contract, we gave our children a true seat at the table,? Emanuel said in a statement. ?In past negotiations, taxpayers paid more but our kids got less. This time, our taxpayers are paying less and our kids are getting more," he said in a statement.

The teachers standoff became the first significant political fight of the Emanuel administration and it arrives at a politically sensitive time: one week after the Democratic Party convention in Charlotte, N.C., when Emanuel was tasked to lead a major fundraising effort to help President Obama win a second term.

Opponents depicted Emanuel as a Republican in disguise, a portrayal emboldened by the endorsement of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who denounced the teachers union and blamed Obama for putting not putting children first.

Emanuel positioned his side as fighting for the good of the children, but there was no doubt the city?s dwindling finances were also a factor.

The strike involved about 29,000 teachers and support staff in what is the nation?s third-largest school district. The 45,000 students enrolled in the city?s charter schools were not affected and remained in class throughout the seven days.

Swedlund takes over as director of Rec Center | The Optimist

By Matthew Sloan
Posted on September 18, 2012 | News | No comment

A year ago, the Money Student Wellness and Recreational Center was the focal point of buzz around campus. But with a new man at the top, the Rec Center may be improving even more this year.

Joel Swedlund will be taking over as the executive director of the Royce and Pam Money Recreation and Wellness Center.

In June, Swedlund left the McGlothlin Campus Center, where he had been helping behind the scenes for years with the Center?s operations.

Although his office has only moved a few buildings away, the impact of this change will be felt throughout the ACU community, especially in Student Life.

The change will add a unique element to the growing connection between the Rec Center and intramural sports. As Kenli Edwards, director for intramural sports said, the students will feel an immediate change in the Rec Center.

?The students might notice a more student-welcomed environment,? Edwards said. ?They might not notice that Joel is now in that role, but they will be able to feel more welcome.?

Though Swedlund will bring fresh energy to Student Life and will attempt to have a positive impact on the indoor sports, he insists that students will not be hindered by the changes at the top.

?Everything will remain the same,? Swendlund said. ?Intramurals does not directly report to this office, though we partner a lot of course. But nothing should change this year from last year. ?

Edwards and Swedlund have to be in constant communication to execute events such as Rec Fest when thousands of students head to the Rec Center looking for a good time.

The Rec Center plays an ever-expanding role in Student Life, hosting basketball, soccer, volleyball and many other sports on the intramural calendar. The Rec Center is a popular hang out spot for members of the ACU community, and the busyness has been enough to keep Swedlund on his toes.

?It is definitely busier because of my change in role,? Swedlund said. ?We are still kind of in transition, looking to add some new personnel. We have changed the staffing model here, so we are trying to work through that.?
