Dr. John W. van de Lindt is the Harold H. Short Endowed Chair in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Colorado State University. He formerly was as the George T. Abell Distinguished Professor in Infrastructure at CSU and as a Professor at the University of Alabama he held the Garry Neil Drummond Endowed Chair in Civil Engineering. He has also previously served on the faculty at Colorado State University and Michigan Technological University. Over the last two decades Dr. van de Lindt's research program has sought to improve the built environment by making structures and structural systems perform to the level expected by their occupants, government, and the public. This has been primarily through the development of performance-based engineering and test bed applications of building systems for earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes and floods. To accomplish this has necessitated coupling nonlinear dynamics, including stochastic approaches in both time and space with structural reliability during extreme loading events. His work includes both the development of new nonlinear numerical models and experimental investigations to calibrate those models and support hypotheses. Over the last twenty years he has successfully procured/led federal, state, and industry sponsored projects totaling approximately $50M. As a result of these projects he has published approximately 450 technical publications including more than 200 peer reviewed journal papers in scholarly journals such as the Journal of Structural Engineering, Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, Engineering Structures, Structural Safety, Natural Hazard Review,the Journal of Earthquake Engineering, Wind and Structures, and presents work frequently at both national and international conferences. Professor van de Lindt has given a number of keynotes and invited talks around the world including Japan, China, India, Italy, Canada, and New Zealand.
Dr. van de Lindt has served as the Chair of the Technical Administrative Committee on Wood which oversees four national wood committees, and remains a control group member of the wood TAC while serving as Chair of the Executive Committee for the Infrastructure Resilience Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). He continues to contribute to ASCE's mission as Chief Editor of the Journal of Structural Engineering where he manages approximately 65 Associate and Section Editors to handle 1200 paper/year. He is a regular organizer and chair of sessions at the ASCE/SEI Structures Congress. as well as numerous international conferences and workshops. Professor van de Lindt has led multiple very large projects involving management of up to 80 people successfully and producing Ph.D. graduates that have gone on to successful academic careers. Personnel management has been key to the success of those projects. He also served as the designer of millions of dollars of lab equipment and coordinated discussions between the design consultants and facilities while on the faculty at the University of Alabama.
Professor van de Lindt believes and actively seeks to promote the mission of diversity and ensuring that everyone is given an equal chance to succeed in engineering and all areas of study and profession. He has worked with a number of undergraduate, M.S., and Ph.D. student researchers over the last 21 years from diverse backgrounds including women, Latinx, and other underrepresented groups in the STEM disciplines. Dr. van de Lindt has mentored more than 20 students from underrepresented groups such as women and minorities through the Colorado PEAKS Alliance Summer Program at Colorado State University and has hosted six interns from technical universities in France. He is the past chair of the Education and Outreach Committee for the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation. He previously chaired CSU's Civil and Environmental Engineering Graduate Instruction Committee, Department Tenure Committee, and Department Promotion Committee. Additionally, he has assisted with applications of numerous students resulting in graduate Fellowships from NSF, AISC, and energy-related organizations and writes approximately ten tenure recommendations for tenure and promotion and two to three promotion letters to full professor of faculty around the U.S. each year. In 2009 he applied for and received an NSF supplement to bring 10 Assistant Professors to Miki, Japan to participate in a CSU-led test program and provided a mechanism for US-Japan networking by planning and hosting a three-day program. Of those funded, more than half were from historically underrepresented groups in engineering. Most recently, he sponsored seven NSF-REU's for two large CSU-led test programs of which four were Latinx and/or women.

Articular cartilage is an avascular and flexible connective tissue found in joints. It produces a cushioning effect at the joints and provides low friction to protect the ends of the bones from wear and tear/damage. It has poor repair capacity and any injury can result pain and loss of mobility. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), a cytokine superfamily, regulates cell function, including differentiation and proliferation. Although the function of the TGF-βs in various cell types has been investigated, their function in cartilage repair is as yet not fully understood. The effect of TGF-β3 in biological regulation of primary chondrocyte was investigated in this work. TGF-β3 provided fibroblastic morphology to chondrocytes and therefore overall reduction in cell proliferation was observed. The length of the cells supplemented with TGF-β3 were larger than the cells without TGF-β3 treatment. This was caused by the fibroblast like cells (dedifferentiated chondrocytes) which occupied larger areas compared to cells without TGF-β3 addition. The healing process of the model wound closure assay of chondrocyte multilayer was slowed down by TGF-β3, and this cytokine negatively affected the strength of chondrocyte adhesion to the cell culture surface.

I read a funny story earlier this week about a Seattle Sports writer who had enough guts to take on WNBA All-Star guard Sue Bird of the Seattle Storm in a game of H-O-R-S-E.
Some people laugh about those who dream. Well, no one's laughing at John Goddard. You haven't heard of John Goddard?
Customization has been a business buzz word for quite some time now, and even M&M's has joined the customization craze.
Hershey has offered for quite some time the opportunity to customize the Hershey Kisses with a special message for most any occasion, and now M&M's has joined the party with it's custom printing on 22 different colored M&M's.
While on a plane last week, I looked into the cockpit and noticed to ladies occupying the pilot and co-pilot seats.
I'm not sure how rare this truly is where two women are pilot and co-pilots of a daily major airline flight, but it was the first time in years of flying that I've ever experienced it, and I thought it was great to see, worth sharing, and hopefully in the future it's not as rare as it may be today.
Every where I turned in Orlando last week, I read the word "attraction" on billboards and signs as well as in newspapers, magazine and brochures.
When I attended summer sports and Christian camps growing up, I don't believe there was the variety and specialization I see today with camps. I love it. There are father-son, father-daughter, mother-daughter, and mother-son camps offered all over the country…sports and non-sports camps.
I watched the movie "Wild Hogs," which is about four middle aged guys venturing out on a one-week road trip on Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
My wife and I went on a weekend trip to celebrate our anniversary, and it's one of very few trips over the years that we've taken without our kids.
When I first read reports that L.L. Bean was getting into the amusement park business, I must admit I was more than slightly skeptical of the idea. However, I tried to remain slightly open minded until I read about the details of the strategy, which you can read here.
Once you read, though, you will see the strategy is well conceived and just may be a successful strategy for the highly successful mail-order retailer.
I've never been known as someone who enjoys a "relaxing day" since I have a hard time sitting still, let alone relaxing.
We often hear about the thousands and thousands of youth playing basketball, who are fans of the NBA, and wearing their favorite player's jersey.
There are ample jobs available to youth looking for summer jobs, according to a story in The New York Times this past weekend, but not as many kids are looking to work at the state parks, summer camps or lifeguard at the lakes as they did years ago.
Are you interested in attending the 2008 Ryder Cup? I had no idea they conduct random ticket drawings – similar to the NCAA's Final Four ticket drawings – but I read here that the Ryder Cup will be played in Louisville, Kentucky Sept 16-21, 2008.
1. Take your work very seriously. Go for broke and give it your all.
2. Never ever take yourself seriously.
3. Find yourself an alter ego and bond with him for the rest of your professional life.
I received an email from Jack Canfield that invites me to ask him a question via a website page – which you can access here – and I think it's a neat opportunity for everyone he sent the email to and I thought the readers of this blog may enjoy the opportunity to ask Jack Canfield, famous for authoring the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series and many other best sellers.
I heard some great advice today about how reacting instead of responding can create a bad situation. Make the decision to respond today instead of reacting to a situation.
Our youngest daughter enjoys sports and finding T-shirts, framed pictures and other sports merchandise and items with girls or women playing sports – versus boys or men featured on merchandise – is very challenging.

Scouting Safely
The BSA's Commitment to Safety is ongoing and we want you to know that the safety of our youth, volunteers, staff, and employees cannot be compromised. The Boy Scouts of America puts the utmost importance on the safe and healthy environments for its youth membership. The Sam Houston Area Council takes great strides to ensure the safety of its youth as well as the adult volunteer leadership that interacts with them.

Two-deep leadership on all outings required.
One-on-one contact between adults and youth members is prohibited.
The buddy system should be used at all times.
Discipline must be constructive.
Health and safety must be integrated into everything we do, to the point that no injuries are acceptable beyond those that are readily treatable by Scout-rendered first aid. As an aid in the continuing effort to protect participants in a Scout activity, the BSA National Health and Safety Committee and the Council Services Division of the BSA National Council have developed the "Sweet Sixteen" of BSA safety procedures for physical activity. These 16 points, which embody good judgment and common sense, are applicable to all activities.

Same-sex marriage a sticky issue for Church
Print Version [1] Email to Friend [2]
P04_SameSex.png [3]
HONG KONG (SE): Several countries in the world today are currently involved in a public debate over same-sex marriage and, although in Asia the issue has not reached the crescendo of the United States of America, Europe, Ireland or Australia at this point, the time will surely come.
Already the issue has raised its head in Taiwan and the government has run a somewhat controversial straw vote through the post and social media which, predictably, showed strong support for a change in legislation to recognise same-sex marriages in law.
In Hong Kong, although the move has yet to reach that level, there have already been ideological clashes between Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender movements and the Catholic Church on odd occasions, with some involving disruptions to Sunday Masses at the cathedral and criticism of the bishop by members of his own flock.
The question of how to respond as a Church has dogged Church leaders of all colours in the western world. They have invariably found themselves pushing the minority opinion and their position has been worsened, as mostly the debates have sunk into the mire of mud-slinging rather than exchange of opinion.
With the government of Australia set to conduct an opinion gathering postal vote, the scene has already seen acrimony coming from both sides of the fence.
A retired judge has accused opponents of same sex marriage as talking hate speech and the Australian Christian Lobby has labelled children in the care of same-sex partners a new Stolen Generation.
(The Stolen Generation is a term referring to Aboriginal children forcefully removed from their families to be brought up in European-run institutions to alienate them from the culture of their birth. The practice continued up to the 1970s and has been a source of terrible pain and suffering).
In addition, Stop the Fags posters have appeared on the streets of Australian cities.
However, the labelling and slurs thrown by both sides is non-productive and as Father Chris Middleton sj, the rector of the prestigious Xavier College in Melbourne, comments it is not descriptive of the many in the middle ground, who are probably numerous enough to sway the vote one way or the other.
Father Middleton notes, "The yes campaign, in my reading of the polls, can only loose if a suppression of alternative voices alienates many in the middle and the no campaign can risk all credibility for its proponents if identified with prejudiced or hateful language."
While the yes campaign is mostly built on equality and the no on marriage as integral to social fabric, Father Middleton maintains that this is not the only difference in their perspectives, as the two are looking at the issue through different lenses.
He observes, "For many Christians another dimension is that there is an understanding of marriage that predates civil marriage."
However, the postal vote and maybe a later plebiscite is not talking about marriage as a sacrament, but about marriage as a civil right.
Nevertheless, this is no reason why the Church should not have a voice in the public discussion, but experience to date shows that argument from authority has proven weak and non-communicative.
In addition, social commentators in Australia believe that even if a vote was only taken among Catholics, it would be touch and go as to which side of the question would come out on top.
This reflects a deep disconnect between Catholics and the voice of its bishops and leaders.
A similar experience in Ireland prompted Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, from Dublin, to comment after the Church had run an unsuccessful no campaign in a referendum on same sex marriage, "I think really that the Church needs to do a reality check."
He added that it should take a good look at what it does well and where it has drifted well away from its members.
But the archbishop was careful to draw a line between public policy in a secular state and the moral convictions of the Church.
He said, "That does not mean that we should renounce our teaching on fundamental values on marriage and the family. Nor does it mean that we dig ourselves into trenches."
Archbishop Martin called for the Church to find a new language that can be appreciated by others as the debate is really about unjust discrimination against others and not Church principles.
In all events, the Church does not have a good record on the protection of same-sex rights and has often been part of the stigmatisation the same-sex attracted suffer in society.
But as Father Peter Day, a parish priest and founder of a home for people with disabilities in Canberra, says, "This is not to say… that the Church must, therefore, pander to the whims of the marketplace, or surrender its values. On the contrary, the Church, like the rest of us, has a duty to follow its informed conscience."
While there are also issues relating to the freedom of the Church and like organisations to follow their own consciences in their living of and administration of marriage, and teach their principles in their schools, it is relying on the open mindedness of society for this and must listen to the opinions of others with the same tolerance.
It is not legal definitions that make Christian marriage, as the power of the ideal lies in the living of it, not the enforcement.
