Loss of Colleague and Friend James Kennedy

Dr. Jim Kennedy, Director of the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at the Rocky Ford Branch, unexpectedly passed away on December 31, 2011. In addition to his strong leadership he was an outstanding veterinarian, diagnostician, colleague and friend. Jim grew up in Kansas and earned his veterinary degree in 1979 at the University of Missouri . Prior to obtaining his DVM, he served as Captain in the US Air Force between 1970 and 1974. He began his veterinary career in production animal medicine, working in cow-calf operations, first in South Dakota and then for many years in Kansas. He then turned his attention to academia and taught at the University of Nebraska before arriving at the CSU VDL in September 2002. In his ten years as Director, he expanded the services of the laboratory and increased the volume of use of the laboratory five fold. Jim was dedicated to serving all clients of the laboratory and his focus was on improving and providing practical diagnostics for the benefit of cattle and cattle producers. He was a pioneer in developing pooling techniques for Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) and Trichomoniasis. He vigorously evaluated all aspects of pooling technology, not only on the test sensitivity and specificity, but also the practical application of these diagnostic strategies in the field and how they impact the producer, improve herd health and consequently the economics of the cattle industry. He was a leader in developing a BVD voluntary Control Program in the State of Colorado which soon became a model for other states that adopted similar programs. This program involves not only testing cattle for BVD but also in developing good biosecurity strategies to prevent disease from entering herds. Similarly, Jim developed and improved testing strategies for Trichomoniasis and was the lead scientific advisor to the state's bovine trichomoniasis advisory panel. In 2007 Jim was recognized for his many professional contributions as Colorado Veterinarian of the Year by the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association. He was a regular contributor to the CSU laboratories newsletter, LabLines, providing useful real-world information for livestock veterinarians and producers. In addition he published his scientific findings in peer-reviewed veterinary journals. He was a prolific public speaker within the state, western region and across the country. He was a regular participant in the Academy of Veterinary Consultants and was the liaison between the Academy and the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians.

Beyond his administrative and scientific accomplishments, Jim was a wonderful person that many across the country claimed as friend. Jim's "very dry" sense of humor kept those around him amused and guessing whether he was serious or teasing. Jim was a recognized and respected member in his community of Rocky Ford, actively participating in the Rotary Club and his church. Jim loved flying; he had his own small plane and pilots license. He frequently would fly over the Rocky Ford area and wave his wings at his neighbors. He felt that flying gave him a different perspective on the world and made all problems disappear. After spending nearly a decade with us at the Diagnostic Laboratory, Jim was planning to retire in 2012. We are saddened that he will not get a chance to enjoy retired life following a very successful career. He will be missed by all of us in the Diagnostic Laboratory. He will be missed by many across the state, especially in Southern Colorado. To members of the Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Pathology – Many of you did not have the pleasure of knowing Jim Kennedy as he resided in the distant portion of Southern Colorado in the Rocky Ford Laboratory. He was the face of the MIP Department and the College, as well as University in that part of the state. He brought considerable recognition to the University through his work with the cattle ranchers and veterinarians. He was the model of providing quality service to the public and was a highly respected member of the community. Jim made very meaningful, long-lasting and significant advances in the practice of diagnostic veterinary medicine and always will be remembered for his valuable contributions. It will be very difficult to find a replacement of his caliber.


Megan Vogt

Each semester the MIP faculty recognize an outstanding graduating senior for academic excellence and/or service to the department or the community. Megan Vogt was the recipient of this award for the December 2011 graduating class.

Megan is truly an outstanding student, graduating summa cum laude with a perfect GPA of 4.0! Megan earned these exemplary grades completing not only the rigorous curriculum required for a B.S. degree in microbiology, but also for completion of the Honors Scholars Program and a minor in French.

In addition to being a full-time student, Megan also worked for several years in the research laboratory of Dr. Sandy Quackenbush, where she was assigned a very difficult project studying retroviral disease in fish. This experience has honed Megan into quite a fine young researcher and she is already a co-author on an article published in the Journal of Virology, which is certainly a major accomplishment for any undergraduate.

Although Megan is a serious student and researcher, she has other interests as well. In addition to pursuing a minor in French, she loves poetry, plays the clarinet, is a peer tutor, and is a member of the national service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega, through which she volunteers to visit seniors living in rest homes, an activity she especially enjoys. Even those of you who know Megan may be completely unaware of all that Megan does, because she is a very modest young woman who rarely speaks of her accomplishments unless directly asked.

Megan intends to attend graduate school, and the question is not if she will be admitted, but rather which offer she will accept. Not surprisingly, Megan is interested in many areas of research and is taking time to decide which one she wants to pursue. In the interim, Megan has accepted a position as a research associate with Dr. Torsten Eckstein, where she will study bacteria instead of viruses, and she will also be a graduate teaching assistant for one of the undergraduate laboratory courses.

Congratulations, Megan, and good luck in your future endeavors!

Stable Extracellular RNA Fragments of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Induce Early Apoptosis in Human Monocytes via a Caspase-8 Dependent Mechanism

Andres Obregon-Henao, Maria Duque-Correa, Mauricio Rojas, Luis Garcia, Pat Brennan, Blanca Ortiz and John Belisle

PLos ONE, Vol. 7, Issue 1, e29970, January 2012

Did you ever wonder whether cells, after spending >80% of their metabolic energy on the synthesis of ribosomal and tRNA, might consider getting their money’s worth and use these molecules for something else in addition to translation?  Of course you didn’t!  The central dogma of gene expression is so engrained in our thinking that tRNAs and rRNAs could only be used for protein synthesis – heck we learn that in Biology 101.  Cell biology couldn’t be more complicated than that, right?  Wrong (accompanied by a loud ear piercing buzzer)!

While investigating factors secreted by M. tb that cause programmed cell death (apoptosis) in macrophages, Andres et al have made a rather startling discovery.  Purifying the M. tb ‘death’ factor from culture filtrates through a DEAE column and acrylamide gels, as well as treating it RNases, have all pointed the finger at mycobacterial tRNA and rRNA fragments as effective mediators of apoptosis.  The small M. tb RNAs appear to act through a potentially novel caspase-8 pathway.  The tRNA and rRNA fragments are likely released by living bacteria and also make macrophages more susceptible to M. tb colonization.  While a small handful of previous papers have suggested potential roles for RNA fragments in mycobacteria biology, this work from the Belisle group points to some rather novel mechanisms.  Interestingly, rRNA and tRNA fragments, as well as tRNA-like molecules, are beginning to gain some attention in cancerous cell growth and as regulators and signalers in cellular stress responses (reviewed in Wiley Online Library ).  Thus perhaps it’s not surprising that mycobacteria want to get into the small RNA act.  One has to wonder if other bacteria use this strategy as well.

So why did we pick this paper as our coveted MIPublication of the Month® to kick off the Year of the Dragon?  As usual, we have three main reasons.  First, this is a rather novel bit of science that brings together some previously unrelated areas of cell biology and may open up some very interesting new avenues for research.  Second, the Belisle lab has three papers on our ‘Pub’ list this month – which we believe may tie a record.  Surely that feat deserves a highlight in and of itself.  Finally, it’s taken John half a century or so, but we think he might have ‘grown up’.  Do you think he’s ready to drop his previous ‘sugar and fat’-only scientific life style and come around to that really cool, cutting-edge RNA-way of thinking?  Only time and the amount of inane jokes that he utters will tell…

MIP Roadtrip

MIP ROADTRIP to see the Rockies

With Tebow-time over, its time for all Colorado sports fans to start thinking Tulo-time! MIP has reserved a block of field level box seats to a Rockies game once again this year. The tickets are along the first base line in sections 116/ 117 to see the Colorado Rockies take on Albert Pujols and the LA Angels in interleague action on Friday, June 8th at 6:40PM at Coors Field in Denver. The price per ticket is $23 - an almost 50% savings over the face value.

We are only taking ticket reservations now - no need to come up with any cash until ~ April. All members of the extended MIP family are invited - so bring the spouse, bring the kiddies, bring the kiddies' spouses, etc. Tickets are going fast - so please email Jeff Wilusz ASAP if you'd like to reserve some tickets to this 'can't-be-missed' Departmental outing.


MIP Angels
Presents

Above is a picture of all of the wonderful gifts that we collected throughout the MIP Dept for the Angels Among Us 2011 Holiday Campaign. Congratulations and big THANK YOU to Karen Hofmaier, Tach Costello, Cathy Griffin and Carol Wilusz who helped coordinate the donations.


Pine Ridge Gift Project

The 2011 Pine Ridge Indian Reservation/Dell Big Crow Holiday Gift Project was once again a huge success! We enlisted the help of Pine Ridge community organizers, teachers, and trusted friends who provided us with wish lists for elders and children with the highest needs on the reservation. This year we were very pleased to provide assistance to the Homeless Veteran's Shelter on Pine Ridge, also. Because of your generosity nearly 1000 people on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation were provided with a little holiday cheer.

While it saddened us once again to see how many people were in need of basics such as shoes, socks, clothing, and warm blankets, we were made aware of how excited the people were when they heard the UPS truck coming. One of the elders told us that her husband was so excited when the packages arrived that "he tore them all open right then - couldn't even wait for Christmas! Just like a little child!" Another elder told us "Thank everyone for all the things they sent to our families and neighbors and our children and grandchildren. Sometimes we think no one cares about us, but we are so Mato thrilled to know that there are so many wonderful people in the world who remember us and think about us and it makes us feel happy and important. Everyone had a good Christmas and the kids were thrilled."

We simply do not have the words to thank you enough for your many, many kindnesses…we just hope you know in your hearts that you changed the lives of many deserving people and made their wishes come true. A special thanks to all of you who passed the information about this project on to your friends and relatives…this helps the project grow and grow! Wopila Tanka!

Best Appetizer

Randy and his deer meat (certified CWD-free and stuffed into mushrooms) was a winner in the appetizer competition

Best Main Course

Amsa Henry's curried potatoes were the winner in the main course category

Best Desert

Ania of the Jackson lab's crème brulee custard took the cake in the dessert category


Want to do more in the battle against TB?
Speranta Terrei

Asma Henry (our prize winning curried potato chef at the MRL Holiday Party) helps to run a tuberculosis patient organization in the Republic of Moldova, a tiny country located between Romania and Ukraine. Speranta Terrei raises awareness of TB, gives treatment adherence support to TB patients, and promotes their rights and duties. Community members, called moderators, take TB drugs from the dispensary to patients' homes and observe ingestion. The home visits are more than a medical exercise because moderators may counsel patients on reducing alcohol intake or assist them to find temporary housing. They break the isolation and psychological barriers of an infectious disease. Their encounters with patients are unhurried and they discuss changes in the drug regimen as well as in local politics.

Speranta Terrei  won the 2008 Tuberculosis Survival Prize from the TBSP, but needs additional funds to support its work.  Please see Speranta Terrei's project on Global Giving to raise funds for treatment support.

Asma promises a generous portion of her prize-winning potato curry to all contributors!

Coors Umpire Lounge

On a recent visit to Coors Field for Rockies FanFest, a roving MIPnews reporter had the opportunity to tour the field level facilities used by the team. While checking out the umpire's lounge, we discovered something a bit curious. The next time that you question the judgment of an umpire on the field, please bear in mind that the sign on the umpire's lounge door at Coor's Field is also written in Braille...

NIH Happenings
  • NIAID posts its final R01 payline for FY ‘12

    Just as it was last year, NIAID will be funding R01 applications at the 10th percentile (14th percentile for new investigators).  Never thought I’d be saying this, but that’s probably very good news given the state of the federal budget.  Other ‘R’ awards are currently being funded at an interim payline of a 20 overall impact score.

  • Want to know where to turn for grant funding besides NIH?

    NIAID has an excellent and extensive list of other foundations and organizations that fund research related to the overall mission of NIAID.  Definitely check out this list.
