CANTON, Ohio ? Retired coaches Bill Cowher, Bill Parcells and Marty Schottenheimer are among the modern-era candidates for the 2012 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Cowher is eligible for the first time, as are players Keyshawn Johnson, Tiki Barber, Drew Bledsoe, Stephen Davis, Rod Smith, Will Shields, Troy Vincent and Mike Vanderjagt.
Parcells and Schottenheimer previously were eligible under different requirements.
In 2008, the Hall of Fame made it mandatory for coaches, like players, to be retired five consecutive seasons. Before that, coaches were eligible immediately upon retirement, allowing Parcells to be a nominee in 2001, 2002, and 2003, and Schottenheimer in 2000. This is their first year of eligibility under the new provision.
Altogether, 103 men are eligible; voting will take place in February the day before the Super Bowl in Indianapolis. From the original list of nominees, the selection committee will choose 25 semifinalists in November. That group of semifinalists will be further reduced by a mail ballot to 15 modern-era finalists and announced in early January.
The final list of candidates also will include two senior nominees: former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jack Butler and former Detroit Lions guard Dick Stanfel.
Between four and seven enshrinees will be announced on Feb. 4, and will be inducted in August.
Mayo Clinic has announced an ambitious $120 million plan to open an Arizona medical school in collaboration with Arizona State University.
The Mayo Medical School?Arizona Campus?will double the size of Mayo?s physician training effort, to about 96 students per year, half at each site, and 200 students active in the combined programs at any given time.
Graduates of the new Arizona program will receive a master?s in the science of health-care delivery from ASU and an M.D. degree from Mayo Medical School.
The medical school and Mayo?s plan to build a $188 million pencil beam proton therapy cancer-treatment facility in Arizona, demonstrate the clinic?s commitment to the region, Mayo CEO Dr. John Noseworthy said from Arizona.
?This is really Mayo Clinic saying that we are the premier academic center in Phoenix for health care,? he said. ?This is very much a bold leadership move on Mayo?s part.?
Mayo Arizona CEO?Dr. Wyatt Decker?said an already eight-year-old Mayo-ASU collaboration in areas such as nursing education and joint law-and-medical degrees will deepen with ?mutual engagement across a full spectrum of activities related to health care, medical research and education.

However, even with a big site with this, see what others have said about stock, delivery speed, quality of products, etc. before making a purchase. More options for grabbing guitar gear include sites like Music 123 and American Music Supply, or AMS. As yet another option, many people have bought from Musician?s Friends, another wonderful site for those people who want to buy guitars of all size and shapes and all of their accessories without a lot of searching. You have to be very careful of and on top of reading reviews, be sure to compare prices on the same brands/guitars to make sure that you?re getting the best deal and aren?t paying inflated prices.

Segregation of scent detectors suggests innate preferences
Web edition : Monday, September 26th, 2011
Even the inside of the nose can be a little cliquish. Like birds of a feather, nasal molecules that respond to pleasant smells flock together, keeping their distance from sensor molecules that pick up unpleasant smells.
Sensor molecules, or receptors, appear to be organized according to the pleasantness (or unpleasantness) of the odors they sense, a new study finds. For example, locations in the nose that respond strongly to one fragrant aroma will respond strongly to other delectable smells. Patches of nasal surfaces that process putrid stenches also handle specific sorts of smells and leave the rest of the work to someone else, Noam Sobel of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel and colleagues reported online September 25 in Nature Neuroscience.
The researchers inserted an electrode into 16 subjects? noses and then showered the volunteers with six different scents. Because certain odors provoked stronger responses at different locations in the nose, the research team was able to confirm previous evidence suggesting a variegated nasal receptor surface.
?We?re not the first to find that,? says Sobel. But he and his colleagues have added an important new wrinkle. ?Not only are the receptors organized in patches, but the axis that best describes their organization is pleasantness.?
This discovery sheds new light on a relatively poorly studied sensory organ. Compared with eyes or ears, scientists don?t know much about how the nose works.
?It?s interesting to see that the perceptual space would reflect itself on the peripheral level,? says Mats Olsson of the Human Olfaction Research Group at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, who was not involved in the study. Even more interesting, these results ?may reflect an inherent pleasantness preference system? in the nose, he says.
An innate attraction to sugary smells and repulsion to acrid odors may ?confer an evolutionary advantage by helping newborn babies seek out the food sources they need to survive.? This initial attraction is just a start, however.? The human olfactory system is extremely flexible, able to be remapped according to learning experiences.? Without this adaptive component, people might never have developed a taste for foul-smelling foods like limburger cheese, which don?t necessarily satisfy essential nutritional needs but sate certain cravings.
Soon people may be able to enjoy the tastes of such foods without the nasty smell, or just avoid repugnant aromas altogether. With a clear physical map of nasal receptors ? a potential outcome of this research, says Sobel ? scientists can target the regions that respond to unpleasant smells, even blocking odors from binding on the receptor level.? Products based on that approach would outperform perfumes, which simply mask the unpleasant aroma.

Tumors grow because patients lack the kind of antigen-specific T cells needed to kill cancer. A new approach called adoptive T cell immunotherapy generates T cells outside the body that are then used inside the body to target cancer cells. (Artist?s concept/Credit: iStockphoto)
PENN STATE (US) ? Adult stem cells from mice converted to antigen-specific T cells may lead to a simpler, more efficient way to use the body?s immune system to fight cancer.
?Cancer immunotherapy is a promising method to treat cancer patients,? says Jianxsun Song, assistant professor of microbiology and immunology at Penn State.
?Tumors grow because patients lack the kind of antigen-specific T cells needed to kill the cancer. An approach called adoptive T cell immunotherapy generates the T cells outside the body, which are then used inside the body to target cancer cells.?
Because it is complex and expensive to expand T cell lines in the lab, researchers have searched for ways to simplify the process. Song and colleagues used induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, which are adult cells that are genetically changed to be stem cells.
?Any cell can become a stem cell,? Song explains. ?It?s a very good approach to generating the antigen-specific T cells and creates an unlimited source of cells for adoptive immunotherapy.?
By inserting DNA, the mouse iPS cells are changed into immune cells that are injected into mice with tumors. After 50 days, 100 percent of the mice in the study were still alive, compared to 55 percent of control mice, which received tumor-reactive immune cells isolated from donors.
Findings are reported in the journal Cancer Research.
A limitation of this potential therapy is that it currently takes at least six weeks for the iPS cells to develop into T cells in the body. Also, potential side effects need to be considered. iPS cells may develop into other harmful cells in the body.
Researchers are now studying how to use the process in human cells.
The study was funded through the Pennsylvania Department of Health using Tobacco Settlement Funds, the W.W. Smith Charitable Trust, and the Melanoma Research Foundation.
Query by Piano Lessons Fellah: Would anybody advocate teaching music in school and hows the work possibilities? I have a BA in elementary education K-5 grades with a minor in music. I have a vast music backround. I dont want to teach little youngsters any longer in colleges. I want to teach in college or adults. How are the college teaching jobs in universities? Are there alot of openings? My school told me that music jobs are tough to get and they employ extremely handful of. Its not excellent. Im not sure if they are attempting to discourage me from acquiring their jobs but thats what it appears like. I want to teach music engineering , piano and theory locations. Are there jobs offered in these places? And what colleges or states have these? Any unique ones i ought to move to? What states have excellent music departments ? Hows California, New York or Texas?
Any teachers or professors please respond.
thanks
Ideal answer:
Answer by Maxwell L ?copied and pasted from your other question?
As a graduate student in piano functionality, I?d have to say that my common observations are rather a lot in line with what your former college has told you?jobs are very competitive.
For any fair chance at a professor position in piano (or any other instrumental functionality) you require to get a doctorate?preferably a DMA (performance degree). Or you could win an international competition.
In general, the very same applies for theory positions. You?d require a PhD. Even though this requirement has rather a lot been an unspoken rule the last decade, I?ve seen several of these announcements for professor openings, and they usually literally state that a doctoral degree is required.
As for Music Tech, these specifications might be a lot more flexible. I?m confident you would, even so, at least require to have a bachelor?s in music technology. As for my music technology professor at college, he is a physician.
If this is something you truly want to pursue, you?ll need to have to either go back to school, get extremely lucky, or possibly even the two. Excellent luck though. Try out to function by means of your connections. With out a doubt, that is your greatest bet.

Excavation of islands around Britain to establish origins of neolithic periodPublic release date: 20-Sep-2011 [ | E-mail | Share ]
Contact: Samantha Martin samantha.martin@liv.ac.uk 44-151-794-2248 University of Liverpool
Archaeologists at the University of Liverpool are investigating three island groups around Britain to further understanding of why, in approximately 4,000 BC, humans altered their lifestyle from hunting and gathering to farming the land.
Some scholars believe that this change occurred due to colonists from the continent moving into Britain, bringing farming and pottery-making skills with them, but others argue that the indigenous population of Britain adopted this new lifestyle gradually on their own terms.
To shed new light on the debate, archaeologists, in collaboration with the University of Southampton, are excavating three island groups in the western seaways and producing oceanographic models to understand what sailing across this area would have been like in 4,000 BC. The team will also construct a database of 5th and 4th millennium occupation sites.
The work aims to use evidence gathered from the seaways to answer significant questions about the processes and timing of the transition from a society that hunted wild animals to people that farmed the land as their primary means of survival.
Recent archaeological findings, such as what is believed to be French pottery in Scotland, have suggested that colonisation from the continent could be one possible explanation for this shift in lifestyle behaviour. Study has shown that the first colonist are likely to have arrived by travelling across the western seaways, but there has been very little excavation of the islands around this sea route to prove this theory, as previous research has tended to focus on the mainland rather than the seaways.
Dr Duncan Garrow, from the University's School of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology, explains: "Neolithic is a term used for the period in our past when the shift from hunting and gathering wild animals and plants to a farming lifestyle occurred. This change happened at different times throughout the world, beginning around 10,000 BC in the Middle East and around 4,000 BC in Britain. How this process occurred, however, is still very much debated.
"Archaeological findings, such as the bones of farm cattle from the 5th millennium BC and European pottery, and advances in radiocarbon techniques have given new life to the theory that European colonists settled in Britain and brought farming practices with them. To understand how possible this could have been, however, we need to turn our attention away from the mainland and towards the seas that form an important travel link between the islands around Britain.
"We are excavating on the Channel Islands, Isles of Scilly and in the Outer Hebrides, which form part of an important maritime zone that surprisingly has been given little scholarly attention in the past. We are constructing a database of all known 5th and 4th millennium occupation sites in and around each island group and starting a programme of radiocarbon dating to understand the chronology of activity within the western seaways.
"Our oceanographic work aims to explore the environmental context within which this transition took place and how seafaring activities impacted on people's lifestyles. We hope that the environmental data will also be valuable to oceanographers and geographers for studying how the sea has changed over the centuries."
The team will also make their findings available to school children and the general public through the development of a series of web resources, including a navigation game on prehistoric seafaring.
The study is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

LONDON (Reuters) - Brewing giant SABMiller Plc <SAB.L> agreed to buy Foster's Group <FGL.AX> for an increased price of A$5.10 a share valuing the Australian beermaker at A$9.9 billion ($10.2 billion) and putting SABMiller at the head of Australia's beer market.
As part of the deal announced on Wednesday, Foster's will also return A$0.30 a share as well as a final dividend for year to June 30 2011. The total value of the deal, including debt, is A$11.5 billion.
"We are pleased that we reached agreement on a recommended transaction to be put to Foster's shareholders," said SABMiller Chief Executive Graham Mackay in a statement
The London-based brewer of Peroni, Miller Lite and Grolsch launched its initial cash bid worth A$9.5 billion, or A$4.90 a share, on June 21 and then went hostile by taking the offer direct to shareholders at the same price on Aug 17, but Foster's rejected both approaches as being too low.
SABMiller says the bid is part of its strategy of creating an attractive global spread of businesses to add to its operations largely in the emerging markets of Africa, Latin America, Asia and Eastern Europe.
It has been long seen as the favorite to take over Foster's with other big brewing rivals saddled by high debts after recent deals. Fosters's is seen as attractive due to its high profit margins and dominant position in Australia although beer volumes have sagged recently with a poor summer and a consumer downturn.
The Foster's business which SABMiller is buying holds about half of Australia's beer market and little else, having retreated home from the global beer empire it once held and having split off its wine business earlier this year.

I noticed this was one of the sources cited in the Bum's reconstruction of the Zombie, and it's a prominent player in his story of the Zombie in Sippin' Safari on pages 115 to 124. The Louis Spievak recipe from your book also appears on page 116 of Sippin' Safari and page 170 of Remixed. But it's great to see the recipe in its original setting, so don't hold back!
