ESPN's Ford on Cats' NBA draft stock
Kyle Tucker
LCJ
Divided, they fall. Such is the story of Kentucky basketball so far this season. Collectively, the Wildcats were ranked No. 1 in the preseason. Individually, seven of them were projected 2014 first-round NBA draft picks in Chad Ford's summer ESPN projections. Almost everyone involved has plummeted in the first third of the season.
UK has slid 18 spots in one poll, 20 in another. Three of those projected first-rounders aren't anymore. Julius Randle's run at the top overall spot in the draft has taken a hit lately. Andrew Harrison went from predicted top-10 pick to being forecast in the bottom third of the draft.
"We're not a good team and players aren't looking real good," coach John Calipari said Saturday after the Cats' loss at North Carolina. "That's what happens: When your team doesn't play well, individual players look bad, too."
I caught up with Ford, the Worldwide Leader's draft guru (@chadfordinsider), this afternoon to talk about those individual players and how their stock looks now versus this summer. Remember, though, that it's still very early in the season, and as Ford notes in this interview, many NBA scouts and GMs are doing what "I think is probably the most prudent approach, which is, 'Let's be patient.' Sometimes it takes freshmen a while."
While you wait for them to grow up, some reading material: where the Cats fall in Ford's preseason and current draft rankings, and his thoughts on UK's many pro prospects so far:
CHAD FORD'S SUMMER TOP 30 NBA PROSPECTS
2. PF Julius Randle
7. PG Andrew Harrison
13. C Willie Cauley-Stein
20. SF James Young
21. SF Alex Poythress
25. C Dakari Johnson
26. SG Aaron Harrison
CHAD FORD'S CURRENT TOP 30 NBA PROSPECTS
20. PG Andrew Harrison
CHAD FORD (ESPN draft guru)
ON UK PLAYERS' STOCK AFTER 11 GAMES: "Well, you know, Randle is still very much in the mix for the No. 1 pick. I don't think that's really changed. He dropped a spot on the Big Board (Ford's rankings at ESPN.com) this morning (down to No. 4) but that had more to do with the rise of (Kansas center Joel) Embiid than it really had to do with anything (Randle) was or wasn't doing. So that part hasn't changed. I think James Young and Willie Cauley-Stein have still got a chance to go in the lottery. I don't think they're locks, either guy, at this point. But they're definitely still considered in that mix. And then, you know, after that I think there's been some general disappointment in the rest of the group from scouts. It's early and there's a lot of things Kentucky's got to work out, but I think from the scouting perspective, none of those guys have really looked the parts that we thought they might be able to be, whether that's the Harrison twins or Dakari Johnson or Poythress."
ON WHETHER IT LOOKS LIKE POYTHRESS COULD END UP RIGHT BACK WHERE HE WAS LAST YEAR, WITH HIS STOCK NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO LEAVE UK: "He could be in a worse situation, because I think Poythress would've been a first-round pick last year just based off potential. I mean, Archie Goodwin was a first-round pick last year just based off that. But you come back the second year and you don't show the sort of improvement that the scouts are looking for, it can become challenging. I was actually hopeful at the start of the season, because he was playing a lot more aggressively and a lot harder, which I thought was a big part of his problem last year. But you know lately – he's gonna have to put some points up on the board; he's gonna have to do more than he's doing if the wants to be a first-round pick. I know it's complicated because there's so much talent on that team and he does have a role coming off the bench, but I would say right now he hasn't helped himself."
ON WHETHER CAULEY-STEIN, WHO IS BLOCKING SHOTS AT AN ANTHONY DAVIS PACE, HAS HELPED HIMSELF: "I think that's the area where he has. I think the fact that he's become an elite shot blocker – when I was on KenPom the other night, he's like top 10 in shot blocks per possession in the NCAA right now – that's been a development in his game. He wasn't a bad shot blocker as a freshman, but he's taken that to the next level. And then, you know, offensively he's still very much a work in progress. But I think, given the fact that he was such a raw prospect coming into Kentucky, scouts have him calibrated a little differently than some of the other guys, and there's more of an expectation that has learning curve is going to be a little bit steeper."
ON WHETHER ANDREW HARRISON IS REALLY SLIDING: "Yeah. I mean, look, it's both what they're showing on the court and continuing problems at times with body language and a combination of things. You also look at point-guard play as being really critical to a young team, and Kentucky's struggling a little bit out of the gate; some of that, fairly or unfairly, is going to fall on Andrew's shoulders, given all the talent that's around him."
ON WHERE HE HAD ANDREW HARRISON RANKED THIS SUMMER COMPARED TO NOW: "I think he was No. 8 on our Big Board and I think he's 20 now. That's all from (NBA personnel) feedback. I'm not just moving these guys up and down on the list based on what I'm thinking; it's all based off talking to the scouts and GMs. To be honest, some don't like him at all and some are just doing what I think is probably the most prudent approach, which is: Let's be patient. Sometimes it takes freshmen a while and I know you remember this as much as anybody: it's not like Anthony Davis came out of the gate and looked like a superstar.
"I had so much hate mail in November and December about why he was the No. 1 pick. And Nerlens (Noel) last year started very slowly and before he got injured was really starting to come on. So I definitely think that the talent level is there and this is Cal's lot in life now; he's going to be coaching a bunch of freshmen and trying to figure out how to get them to work together. It worked two years ago. It didn't work last year. I think this year, it's a pretty big question mark about where it's going to go, which direction it's going to go."
ON WHETHER THAT BAD BODY LANGUAGE IS A MAJOR CONCERN IN NBA SCOUTING, EVALUATION: "I think major might be too strong of a word, as far as concern goes, but it's part of what people factor in. And this reputation was something that they had in high school; it's something they had with USA Basketball. Now that it's carried on at Kentucky, it's a factor. But, look, if Andrew Harrison was lighting it up every night, people would for the most part dismiss the body language stuff and he would still go very high. When he's struggling a little bit, that's when those other things start to come into play more. I think at the end of the day, scouts are looking for justifications either to take you or not take you, and those are the sorts of things that can become a justification to not if there are things about their game that make (scouts) uneasy."
ON HIS OVERALL THOUGHTS SO FAR: "I believe, just like Cal does and everybody else I'm sure, you've got to be patient with these guys who are freshmen. I didn't expect Kentucky to go undefeated. I'm not sure I expected exactly what I've seen from them so far, but it's not too far off what I expected, them learning how to play together and all these guys who were alpha dogs on their high school teams learning how to blend."

Apparently, LEDs produce between 80-100 lumens/watt (according to google) ... combined with the fact that some projectors listed on ebay have a supposed 96W LED, yet are listed as 2000 lumens + 200 lux ... ???
Lux should have someting to do with the output ... I am definitely lost with my interpretation here ... ???
I was going to type a long winded explanation, but got lazy!


The company is reviving its two-act production of Martin Foreman's new adaptation of Volpone and staging his new one-act drama, Casanova Dreaming. Both productions will run through the whole festival and there is a guaranteed minimal payment for cast and creatives.
Auditions for the cast will be held in March, but the company is looking to get the production team in place as soon as possible, preferably in December. For both the AD and the SM positions, Arbery is happy to look at those willing to take on one or both of the productions.
The company says: "We are a small Edinburgh-based group of unpaid actors and crew who are passionately interested and involved in theatre.
Cast and crew on Casanova Dreaming will each receive a guaranteed £125 for the whole period of the production and for Volpone a guaranteed £175. This will include rehearsals and run, plus a share of any profits – details to be confirmed during interviews. Travel and other expenses will not be repaid.
Martin Foreman's adaptation of Ben Jonson's rollicking satire Volpone maintains all the elements of Jonson's plot while shortening the script to two hours and updating the language and setting to the nineteenth century.
The greatest change comes in transforming two leading characters into women. One is Corbaccia, the old lady who disinherits her son to get Volpone's riches. The other is Volpone's servant, Mosca, whose quick thinking saves herself and her master from potential discovery and offers them even greater rewards.
In Casanova Dreaming, the 18-year old Giacomo Casanova is asleep in bed with his first true love when he is visited by an old man who shows him his future – but is what he sees a promise or a warning?
Foreman reveals the life of the famous libertine – a life more complex and varied than legend relates, he says – and continues his exploration of themes of love, loss and death that focus on the city of Venice.
This production will run in the early afternoon in the intimate theatre of theSpace on Niddry Street (Venue 9), where Arbery Productions staged J B Priestley's The Rose and Crown in 2016.
Both productions will run from Saturday 4 to Saturday 25 August, 2018.
Full details of the requirements for the roles are on the Arbery website. Anyone wishing to put their name forward for either role should email: info@arberyproductions.co.uk with a brief theatrical bio.
Details of crew needed: http://www.arberyproductions.co.uk/crew.htm.

Creating policy for a growing Denver
Paul Kashmann looks at citywide issues for second term
Editor's Note: District 6 covers the Washington Park, Belcaro, Cory-Merrill, Virginia Village, Indian Creek, Rosedale, University and University Park neighborhoods. Paul Kashmann sits at a booth in …
Meet your new City Council members
The area of the Washington Park Profile is covered by several Denver City Council districts: 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10. In June, two new council members were elected to those districts, and three are returning. Councilmembers, Kendra Black, Paul Kashmann and Jolon Clark return to their respective districts, while councilmembers Amanda Sawyer and Chris Hinds are new to the council. They will be sworn in with the rest of the City Council on July 15.
In the August issue, look for our profiles of the two City Council-at-Large members. At-Large councilmembers represent the city as a whole. Both Deborah Ortega and Robin Kniech were reelected this year.
Editor's Note: District 6 covers the Washington Park, Belcaro, Cory-Merrill, Virginia Village, Indian Creek, Rosedale, University and University Park neighborhoods.
Paul Kashmann sits at a booth in Pete's University Park Cafe. It's a staple spot for him, where he offers open coffee meetings once a week with District 6 residents, something he plans to continue now that he's been elected to a second term.
He's just returned from a group council trip to Austin, Texas, where Kashmann, along with several other council members, went to look at the Community First! Village for homeless people. The housing project sits on 51 acres and will have more than 500 homes once everything is built, Kashmann said.
He is hoping Denver can consider similar supportive environments for its homeless residents, Kashmann said. The Austin project includes several types of housing and is meant to create homes for people who are chronically homeless or dealing with mental health issues.
One problem with housing-first solutions, Kashmann said, is that they homeless people into one group. "The homeless population is not one population," he said, and added he would like to find a solution that treats people with dignity.
Although the homeless population is one of the most vulnerable as housing costs grow more expensive, they are not the only demographic that loses out as Denver continues to grow.
"We need to address affordability in a more substantial way. And that's for all areas of the income spectrum," he said. "The middle class is increasingly getting shoved out the door."
Development is another area Kashmann will focus on this term.
Residents often miss notifications of rezoning because the required city signage is difficult to read, Kashmann said. It includes legal jargon and is posted on buildings in black and white. Kashmann said he would like brighter signs with easy-to-read wording. "It should be much more easily consumed," he said of the notifications.
Like many councilmembers, Kashmann also wants to look at development-and-mobility issues.
Daily traffic is something he hears about frequently from District 6 residents. One of his biggest concerns is that heavy traffic on the highways and major streets often pushes more drivers onto neighborhood streets, which can create unsafe situations. Adding density to neighborhoods often means adding more cars.
Kashmann believes there are neighborhoods and areas in Denver that can take the weight of more density to help house the growing population. But Denver needs to be smart about how that development is done, he said.
"Density is important," Kashmann said. "That doesn't mean you build 20-story towers everywhere."
With five new members joining City Council this month, Kashmann is hopeful the group will move forward on climate-change policies, such as ways to divert some of Denver's waste stream and a possible carbon tax.
"I think this council is going to be fairly aggressive in seeking out whatever we can do to reduce Denver's impact on climate change," he said.

While Rome is, of course, famous for its millennia of archaeological remains, its sister city Gabii, 18 kilometers to the east, has also produced a wealth of information about the early days of the cities' existence. But a recent study of skeletons from Imperial era Gabii reveals differences in immigration and diet compared to its more famous neighbor.
Gabii began to urbanize in the Early Iron Age, around the 8th century BC. It's located between two lakes and was originally an important religious and cultural site where, legend has it, Romulus and Remus were educated. It was a close ally to Rome early on, but by the time Rome became a massive city, Gabii was declining, witnessing depopulation, abandonment, and re-use of previously urban areas of the site. At the height of the Roman Empire, Gabii was hanging on as people continued to use the Temple of Juno, the public baths, and some stores.
But also at this time, part of Gabii was given over to burials, which were found over the last decade by the University of Michigan's Gabii Project in previously inhabited areas. A number of burials were made within and on top of abandoned buildings on the edge of the commercial area and date to the middle of the 1st century AD to the mid to late 3rd century AD. As the bioarchaeologist for The Gabii Project, I have studied the skeletal remains from the site, and I recently published a detailed analysis of what people were eating during this odd period of Gabii's history.
We also investigated differences in diet among men, women, and children at Gabii. While the adult diet was similar, and the kids we examined showed no clear evidence of breastfeeding, one person stuck out: Skeleton 47, a male in the range of 35-50 years old at the time of death. With a very high carbon signature and very low nitrogen value - along with strange oxygen isotope results - this man seems to have been leading a very different life than anyone else tested from Gabii.
Because of his oxygen isotope result, we write that Skeleton 47 "suggests a potential migration to Gabii from a cooler, wetter area of the Empire some time within the previous decade before his death." Based on his eating more millet and less fish than others who were tested, "his diet fits in well with what [the Roman historian] Pliny described for rural Italians -- one of millet and beans." Bolstering the interpretation of Skeleton 47 are his incisors -- they are shovel-shaped, which is an uncommon trait in skeletal samples from Rome but more common elsewhere in Italy. This man, we conclude, "provides more evidence that migration and diet were inextricably linked in Imperial Italy."
More research is needed into Skeleton 47, particularly ancient mtDNA and strontium isotope analysis, to better understand this person's origins and ancestry. But given the cosmopolitan nature of Rome, as well as the long tradition of slavery, it is unsurprising to find the skeleton of a probable migrant at Gabii.


The rates of the game vary depending on the number of team players.
Each adventure has a minimum and maximum number of players.
The payment of the game is done directly at the moment of the appointment.
Our adventures are designed to be played by a predetermined number of players: the maximum limit of players is set to make you amuse and therefore to give everyone the opportunity to cooperate in solving the riddles, avoiding someone to be excluded by the game without understanding the steps.
However, to accomplish numerous group requests, we allow an extra player with a supplement of € 15 (if the extra player is a child under 8 years does not pay the surcharge).
Remember that if you want to play in a large group the best way is still to divide the team into two sub-groups, not to make the game too chaotic.
For customers who wants to share the experience they lived in our adventures with someone dear, we have thought of a dedicated program of Vouchers.
The voucher will be sent via e-mail to the address provided by the customer and will be printable in the form of a gift card.
90 euro voucher valid for 1 game for up to 6 players.
210 euro voucher valid for 1 game for up to 10 players.
250 euro voucher valid for 1 game for up to 13 players.

I used to chase eggs. Now I am just trying not to respond to eegits. Responding to eegits.
Search for a striker continued. Jun 2042. I have 1 striker already signed, sealed and about to join, but I am looking for another who can play now and ideally a 3rd who is an option for the future. I can't remember if I have told you who is joining so I will keep that under my hat for the time being. The shortlist for the player to play now is as follows. Gorka González (BAS) (Bal) 20 year old AF currently at Levante. Quick, decent finisher, decent PPM, 4.5 PA, 83 rated, cheap wage, but might cost £4.4M. Leoz (BAS) (Bal) 21 year old P currently at Bilbao. Quick, decent finisher, 4.0 PA, 72 rated, cheap wage, but might cost £3.4M. Josu (BAS) (Bal) 28 year old AF currently at Eibar. Quick, average finisher, 68 rated, reasonable wage but they are asking £3.7M for him. He's actually on the transfer market though and Eibar were relegated last season so I have offered a cheeky £1M to see if that gets a bite. They only bought him 1 year ago for £850k so they are still making a profit. I'm not as keen on this bloke, but I would like the price at £1M. Iosu Iriondo (BAS) (F.Det) 24 year old also currently at Eibar. Seems popular in this thread but I think it's the price putting me off. Quickish, average finisher, 72 rated, average wage but they want up to £5M for him. I'm not sure I want to pay that without selling someone else first. I don't like his acceleration being only 13. That's very average, (or am I just looking for issues). Peru (BAS) (Bal) * 22 year old CF currently at Man City. This kid is never going to sign for us, but he just might come on loan. He's quick, average finisher, decent header of the ball, 65 rated. Getting him, or someone else), in on loan might be a cheaper option than buying another striker. Eduardo (BAS) (Spirit) 19 year old AF currently at San Sebastian B. Quick, average finisher, 4.0 PA, 65 rated, cheap wage but might cost £2.6M I'm also looking at taking a punt on a 6'6" 16 year old who is currently at Bilbao. I think I might be able to get him quite cheaply but just waiting for full scout reports. He would certainly offer another dimension from the bench. As for those players above, none of them really jump out at me and I'm considering not signing any of them. Who do you like and why?
Search for a striker. Jun 2032. I'm out. He's decent, but he's too old and I want to make a profit out of anyone I buy. I can't make a profit out of this bloke.
Friendly income. Jun 2042. I was able to arrange 3 friendlies during pre season as a result of clauses I had inserted into player sales. £610,000 for absolutely nothing. I'm going to track this each season and see what's the most I can get it up to.
Not happy. REALLY not happy. They paid £425,000 for him and he's immediately worth £6.5M Damn. Damn damn damn damn damn.
Nooooooooooooo. Jun 2042. I am in for a few transfers at the moment but this one is a young striker I particularly like. We have already had a deal accepted and offered a contract to the player. Now Spurs are in to try and gazump us. They have just spent £98M on a 21 year old striker. Why do they need this bloke?
Europa League. Jun 2042. I don't really know how to do a European update. Do I do it as the games happen, or do I wait until the end of the month and update you then? Or do I just wait and show you the whole thing, (hopefully more than 1 round), at the end of the season? I think what I will do in future is just add it in to the monthly updates, but at the moment I'm so excited you are getting extra updates as and when. So it's Liechtenstein/Switzerland or Sweden.

A.G. Russell Chute Knives: A Quick History
(A.G. Russell images)
Harry Archer is no stranger to fans of BLADE Magazine Cutlery Hall-Of-Fame® members Bob Loveless and A.G. Russell, as well as followers of Steve Johnson, Bob Dozier and other inhabitants of the custom knife scene. A larger-than life "operator" for the CIA, among others, Archer designed the chute knife, a fixed blade that got its name for use when a parachutist landed in a tree or in some other sticky situation and needed to cut the shroud lines to free himself.
Archer fell in love with Loveless knives and designed a chute knife that Bob made. In the process, Archer and Loveless became close friends and the chute one of Bob's best-known knives, one reproduced today by scores of custom makers.
A.G. and Loveless had a special relationship, so it should come as no surprise that A.G. became friends with Archer as well—and neither should it come as a revelation that A.G. saw the potential for reproducing a chute knife. In fact, as it turns out, A.G. Russell Knives wound up ordering three different chute repros.
There are great similarities between A.G.'s chute knives and those by Loveless, but also differences. For one, A.G. included a hole in each end of the double guard. Loveless did not. A.G.'s early A.G. Russell and Morseth chutes used narrow-tang construction with distinctly shaped, solid handles. Loveless's were full tang with applied scales.
Dozier was the maker behind the first A.G. Russell and Morseth chute knives. Aside from a few changes, the Dozier design is much like the Loveless, including no holes in the guard, full-tang construction and the Loveless signature green Micarta® scales.
As A.G. wrote, "In the beginning, Loveless probably would have used A2 tool steel for the blade, and later 154CM and/or ATS-34 stainless. Dozier's design uses Dozier's signature D2 tool steel." It also features one of Dozier's solidly built leather sheaths.
From 2003-2007, A.G. offered a chute knife designed in collaboration with award-winning German knifemaker Dietmar Kressler.
Russell took Archer's basic chute and "added as much elegance" as he could manage, "using the talents of that most talented maker [i.e., Kressler]. Dietmar is the master of integral hilt-and-butt [aka hilt-and-cap] hunting and combat knives," A.G. wrote. "He has taken my design and executed it beautifully."
Just 75 were made and the last one sold for $2,195. "They are available today on the secondary market only.
After that, A.G. began work on a more economical drop-forged version of the chute. It took 10 years to get the tooling finished in Taiwan and the knives made. From the blade tip to the end of the pommel, the entire knife is drop forged of 440C stainless steel and has a "very tapered" tang.
"The standard model has ebony Rucarta® scales. Blade and overall lengths: 5.5 and 9.5 inches. MSRP: $245. With ironwood scales the MSRP is $295.
As Russell wrote, "Harry Archer could well have been the pattern for Mr. Clark, the ubiquitous CIA problem solver in Tom Clancy's novels … He spent a lot of time in the jungle teaching jungle combat and survival to American soldiers and soldiers of other countries as well … He loved knives, well made knives. In his lifetime he was probably Loveless's #2 or #3 customer. He was a strong influence on the design of custom combat knives and his design for the chute knife is classic."

District readies for new school year | SLIDESHOW
Classrooms were packed at Haller Middle School on Aug. 21-22, though they weren't students who filled the desks — they were teachers.
Wednesday, August 28, 2013 12:04pm
Leslie Faxon
ARLINGTON — Classrooms were packed at Haller Middle School on Aug. 21-22, though they weren't students who filled the desks — they were teachers.
Arlington Public Schools offered the second Summer Academy for teachers to undergo training on new curriculum standards, education tools, behavior management and more.
A total of 388 teachers signed up for one or more sessions during the two-day voluntary training seminar and took advantage of the opportunity to be the ones raising their hands and asking questions.
"Everything is related to what they are using in the classroom," said Andrea Conley, public information coordinator for Arlington Public Schools. "We chose the Danielson Instructional Framework to evaluate our staff — from administrators, teachers and even our superintendent. It's an ongoing framework to allow specific feedback for teachers, so we have a number of sessions discussing the components of that framework. We have a session on teaching with iPads in the classroom — which has gotten to be very popular, especially for our elementary students. We have a class on teaching with love and logic, which helps those in the behavior program empower students to take responsibility for their behavior. All the sessions pertain to their needs in the classroom."
The Danielson Instructional Framework is one of the evaluation frameworks adopted by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction for use in Washington, and is aligned with the state's evaluation criteria.
"We are continually helping our teachers understand what the new evaluations will be," said Conley. "We want to show them, 'Here's what the evaluation will be and here's what you can do to develop supportive learning.'"
The district is also focusing on maintaining the common core state standards which were adopted by the state of Washington in 2011 for full implementation in the 2014-15 school year. Forty-five states have adopted the common core standards which aim to prepare students for college or the workforce, and maintain consistency in educational standards across the nation.
The summer academy offered three sessions digging deeper into the common core, with ideas on incorporating required texts and curriculum in each classroom. New science standards have been adopted, with three years to implementation, so teachers participating in the session on the new standards got a preview of what was to come.
In addition to the class on teaching with iPads, the academy offered sessions on technology as an instrument for teaching — including Google Docs, Moodle websites, QR codes and the IEP online.
"All of this new technology can be a great tool in the classroom, so we wanted to give teachers and opportunity to learn the basics for each program," said Conley.
In addition to those sessions, the academy offered training on implementing "I can" statements as a measure of progress in the classroom, behavior management training for special education staff and CPR/AED/First Aid training.
"We are taking all of this information to the next level and giving teachers a chance to ask questions and be prepared for the school year," said Conley. "All of these sessions are specific to our district and show how to implement each in classrooms here in Arlington. It's really a great way to get the teachers ready for the new school year."
Teachers will be back in the classroom on Wednesday, Aug. 28, while students return for their first day of school on Wednesday, Sept. 4, with grades 10-12 starting on Sept. 5. For more information on the Common Core State Standards, teacher evaluation criteria and more, visit the OSPI website at www.k12.wa.us.

Near the dusk, in Marbella, the fishermen go usually through the rocks on the beaches wavebreakers to catch some fish. I don't know if it is the crisis or not, but there are sometimes a lot of them. In this case, I was between the 2 beaches, Venus and Bajadilla, that are located in the Marbella Centre, between the harbours: 'Puerto Pesquero' or 'Puerto de la Bajadilla' and 'Puerto Deportivo'. The boy of the image was moving so fast and so much, jumping from a rock to another one, and in a moment that he stopped, I used him as my focal point and shot 3 exposures for this HDR.

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers majors leading to a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts Degree. The B.A. Degree also has a Biochemistry Option. The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry is designed primarily for students who plan to enter graduate programs in chemistry or other closely related sciences. The department is certified by the American Chemical Society (ACS), 1155 - Sixteenth Street, N.W., Washington, DC, 20036. Students graduating with this degree will be certified to the Society and will receive a certificate from the ACS. The Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry fulfills the need of those students who are pursuing pre-medical or pre-dental programs as well as those who plan to enter fields such as business, environmental or patent law, where a background in chemistry can be of great utility.
The department is housed in well-equipped offices and laboratories on the third floor of the Natural Sciences and Mathematics Building. The faculty consists of full-time members who represent all the major areas of chemistry. Students generally benefit from the smaller class sizes and the individualized attention, which is seldom available at large universities. Students are introduced to modern instrumental techniques and are given many opportunities for "hands-on" experience.
Students who are majoring in chemistry should be advised once each semester, prior to registration. Permanent records of advisement are kept in the department office.
High school students should include two years of algebra, one year of geometry and a one-year course in chemistry in their high school preparation. A course in high school physics also is recommended. Students who enter without this preparation must expect to delay their graduation beyond the minimum time-period of four years.
Community college transfers should have completed one year of general chemistry, one year of calculus and one year of physics.
Career Possibilities
A Major in Chemistry either as a B.A. or B.S. will prepare students for graduate work in chemistry or biochemistry; teaching chemistry in secondary schools; employment with industry or government; entry into professional schools such as medicine or dentistry; or entry into law school with a view toward specialization in patent or environmental law.
Students may prepare for a career in teaching science at the secondary level (junior high or high school) by completing an approved "Subject Matter Preparation Program." Completion of such a program is the first step in meeting the state requirements for a teaching credential. As the program requirements for the "Subject Matter Preparation Program" in science have changed recently, interested students should consult the departmentally designated advisor for current information.
Pre-Medical Professions Training in Biochemistry
Students who wish to apply to professional schools of medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, or other medical areas following graduation should consider completing the requirement for a B.S. degree in Biochemistry. In addition, students should complete the elective course that was not selected to fulfill the degree requirements.
The following courses are not usually required for admission to medical school, but it is recommenced that students consider them when planning their academic program. Many former students have found them to be a valuable introduction to courses that must be taken in many professional programs.
BIO 422. Histology (3)
BIO 424. Histology Laboratory (1)
BIO 453. Endocrinology (3)
BIO 483. Human Physiology (3)
Membership in the Science Society of CSU Dominguez Hills is open to all students.

Background: Striking similarities between stem cells and cancer cells have led to the concept of the existence of a cancer stem cell, a concept that has since been documented in many tumours including breast, brain and prostate tumours. Teratocarcinomas are malignant tumours occurring predominantly in the testes composed of undifferentiated stem cells and mature tissues. Cancer stemness was studied using the teratocarcinoma model of tumourigenesis. Materials and Methods: The gene expression profile of murine embryonic stem cell lines was compared to its malignant counterpart, murine teratocarcinoma cell lines. Validation was performed using real-time quantitative PCR. Results: A list of 1170 differentially expressed genes was obtained. Significant pathways involved in cancer stemness included oxidative stress and angiogenesis. Transcription factors and extracellular matrix molecules appeared prominently. Conclusion: Novel molecules have been highlighted including decorin, an extracellular matrix protein, which may provide opportunities for the investigation of innovative strategies in the future treatment of cancer.

Paul Miller Racing, Bryan Sellers and Madison Snow Bring Podium Momentum to Lime Rock
Third Place at Last Race Season-Best for Castrol EDGE/Paul Miller Racing No. 48 Lamborghini Huracán GT3
LAKEVILLE, Connecticut (July 21, 2016) – Paul Miller Racing and drivers Bryan Sellers and Madison Snow will bring the momentum of the team's first 2016 podium finish two weeks ago to Lime Rock Park this weekend where the team will be looking for its first win of the season in the No. 48 Castrol EDGE Lamborghini Huracán GT3.
The seventh of 11 races in the 2016 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship's GT Daytona (GTD) class, the Northeast Grand Prix can be seen live on FOX this Saturday, July 23, at 3 p.m. EDT.
The Northeast Grand Prix is 2016's only IMSA race to be featured on the flagship FOX network. All other IMSA WeatherTech races are broadcast on the sister FOX Sports 1 (FS1) and FOX Sports 2 (FS2) networks.
The No. 48 team comes to Lime Rock Park following a third-place finish at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park one race ago, the best of the season for Paul Miller Racing and the first podium for the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 in IMSA competition.
Last month, Paul Miller Racing also gave Lamborghini its first IMSA pole when Sellers was the top qualifier for the Detroit Grand Prix.
"I am a big believer in momentum," Sellers said. So, coming off the Canadian Tire weekend, that will hopefully propel us forward. We certainly haven't lacked for speed in the last couple of races. It has just been a little bit of misfortune that has taken us the wrong way. Hopefully the tide will continue to change and we will keep moving in the right direction."
In addition to top driving by Sellers and Snow, key strategy decisions and more familiarity with first-year Lamborghini have helped the Paul Miller Racing team improve its performance at recent races.
"We have been improving at every race," Snow said. "A lot of it is because we are starting to learn the Lamborghini GT3 car a lot better, how to tune it as well as the quickest way to drive it. Hopefully we can leave Lime Rock in a better position than we left Mosport in!"
The No. 48 team and drivers are highly focused and motivated heading to Lime Rock, which kicks-off a five-race run to the end of the season.
"A podium really tends to get the morale up," Sellers said. "I know everybody has their head in the right place now, you feel how close you are when you are on the podium, and I feel pretty good moving forward."
A twist to this year's Northeast Grand Prix is the addition of the faster GT Le Mans (GTLM) race cars to the race.
"Having GTLM at Lime Rock will definitely add more 'excitement' to the race due to their being more cars on track," Snow said. "One car can make or ruin the race for us depending on how safe they drive, if they hold us up and let others gain on us, or make us lose time on the cars ahead. They can also hold up cars ahead of us as well.
"It's a bit like having five wild cards in a card game. Sometimes they help one person, or sometimes everyone comes away equally scarred from it."
Previously at Lime Rock, the GTD class raced alongside only the Prototype Challenge (PC) class, which is also one of the three classes competing in the Northeast Grand Prix.
"I do think it is a difficult pairing between the car groupings," said Sellers, who raced in GTLM the last six seasons. "You take the cars that are the closest in speed and put them up against each other on one of the hardest places to pass.
"It will be difficult managing traffic from a GTD perspective but at the end of the day it will be irrelevant because we all have to deal with the same situation. Everyone will have the same amount of traffic and pass and be passed by the same cars."
Just 1.5 miles in length, Lime Rock Park is by far the shortest track on the IMSA circuit.
"Lime Rock is the shortest track we will race at all year," Snow said. "It gives a little different aspect to the track mentally but I don't believe it changes the racing a lot, other than the fact that the front straight is shorter than most, which can make it more difficult to get around other cars."
A two-day event weekend, opening practice for the Northeast Grand Prix begins Friday with a one-hour session at 11:10 a.m. A second one-hour practice that afternoon at 2:05 p.m. precedes GTD qualifying at 4:30 p.m.
Race-day Saturday starts with a 20-minute warm-up at 9:05 a.m. The Northeast Grand Prix main event goes green at 3:05 p.m.

So you want to eat at an authentic Mexican restaurant. Your friends would like a place that caters to American taste. You can waste time arguing among yourselves, or you can head to Señor Pique, which is a great Mexican restaurant and a great "Mexican" restaurant. An "M" next to a dish on the menu denotes an authentic dish: tacos al pastor, cochinita pibil (achiote-marinated pork in banana leaves) and molcajete (pork, beef and chicken served with onions and queso fresco in a mortar, from which it gets its name). Of course, just because something is an authentic Mexican recipe doesn't make it delicious. Thankfully, Señor Pique backs up its claim — "It's all about being made by Mexicans" — with dishes full of flavor. Fajitas, burritos and other American-influenced dishes are great, too. Not sure when a dish stops being Mexican and starts being Tex-Mex or American "Mex"? Order the quesadillas mexicanas, then compare them to the quesadillas gringas. Yes they're really called quesadillas gringas. Trust us: They're laughing with you, not at you.


Okay. My ongoing investigations for my future kitchen re-model has uncovered some surprising facts that kind of blow my mind. First is the assumption--on my part and probably on others--that natural stone tile is the most durable. According to my tile guy, that's totally untrue. Porcelain is much denser and, thus, more durable.
Another what...WHAT? moment was reading that laminate (specifically Wilsonart and Formica brand) countertops are as scratch resistant as granite and as heat resistant as quartz countertops. Also--get this--they're as 'seamless' as granite and quartz too. They can be 'seamless' these days because manufacturers are making it in gigantic 5' x 12' sheets. For most kitchens, that 12' means no seams, including those obvious mitered corners. AND, as far as stain resistance, laminate is equal to quartz.
To see more pics of under-mounted sinks in laminate, click here. There's also a really cool video of a pro completing the entire install process.
Personally, having worked with porcelain tile for years, I believe my tile guy about its durability. However, the laminate info is going to take some time to digest. Perhaps more research is in order.
"Now, what about that "no integrated sink in a laminate countertop" deal? That's a myth now too."
Undermounted and integrated are not the same thing. Integrated means it's a seamless continuation of the same material from countertop to sink. I have never seen that done in laminate, but it's fairly common in composites. None of the pictures you link (as far as I can tell) show integrated sinks in laminate.
does anyone make a Red seamless sink?
HOLY COW! I logged on to your site because I often check it out and what did I see? A picture of my parents kitchen! That's wild! They did all the work themselves, even figuring out how to lay the tiles on the floor on their own to save money. Check out the before/after pics!
So what if you can tell it's laminate? That's one amazing looking undermount sink.
We have quartz with top mount sink (my choice). We chose quartz because we liked the look and it fit in our budget using my inheritance from my folks. The kitchen was always the heart of my families home. Daddy would have help us build our home had he still been with us and Mom would have helped me decorate. This was just another way they helped us build our dream home. Had we not had their money, I'd have been just as happy with laminate.
@Laura...true, but if done with a darker laminate, then the transition virtually disappears, as evidenced in the picture below. It then takes on the look of an integrated sink you'd see in a Corian installation.
@Mark--yeah, corian and the like still perform best in 'seamless' stats.
I didn't blow my budget on quartz, snagged a deal for 60 sqft at under $30 a sqft for something that was being discontinued, but still cannot believe that you can do the undermount. That was the ONLY reason I shyed away from the laminate. Now that I know, the next time I renovate a kitchen I will research the undermount option with laminate as it is a better and more affordable product.
Quartz isn't bad but it is cold - same complaint you posted regarding granite. White quartz still stains - so don't leave red wine or mustard on it. It isn't perfect.
