Alum Gives Seminar on Gene Therapy Treatment for Blindness

Published: 2012-11-07 Dan_Cheung_400
ENC Biology alum, Dan Chung (85)

In mid-October, ENC Alum and Trustee, Daniel Chung (Biology, '85), presented in Shrader Lecture Hall on The Gene Therapy Clinical Trials for Childhood Blindness entitled, “And the Blind Will See.”

Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is an autosomal recessive disease causing blindness by affecting the retina. The disease has an early onset at 5 to 7 years of age, and there are 3 thousand cases of LCA in the United States alone, with not current treatment or cure. The gene therapy clinical trial, conducted by the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania and University of Pennsylvania, is having success treating patients, allowing them to regain vision. Should this clinical trial prove successful and pass the regulations put forth by the FDA, this gene therapy could be the first to be approved in the US. Treatment is an injection of an adeno-associated virus, altered to contain copies of the normal or “good” gene, into the eye.

The first stage of testing, known as the pre-clinical stages, involved treating dogs with LCA. An injection was given to one of two dogs. Results were visibly favorable to the dog given the treatment, while the other still could not see. With success in the pre-clinical stages, the team looked toward proceeding to the clinical trials.

To conduct the clinical trial, the study needed to gain approval from a number of organizations including the FDA. After 7 years, the gene therapy was approved to enter the clinical stages, and in 2008 the first patient was treated. Tests are conducted pre- and post-treatment to determine the success of the gene therapy including reading line charts and ERGs.

Chung was responsible for creating another test; an obstacle course to test the practical enhancements the gene therapy gives the patients. Because only one eye is injected for treated, the baseline test is done with the treated eye covered, and the second test is done with the untreated eye covered. You can watch video of the obstacle course here.

Chung concluded his presentation suggesting that not only does this treatment have the potential to be the first approved gene therapy treatment in the United States, it provides hope for those diagnosed with Leber Congenital Amaurosis and other visual genetic disorders.

Borders at Top And Bottom of AirPlay Mirroring

I got an Apple TV a month or so ago to compliment my iPad (3rd Gen) and use the AirPlay mirroring feature. However I am slightly disappointed to find that every time I mirror my iPad's screen, it appears with black borders at the top and bottom of the picture, I understand the need for borders left and right because of the 4:3 aspect but borders top and bottom make the picture smaller. Videos and Pictures appear properly but certain apps that are full screen (such as Asphalt 7) appear with borders all the way around.

 

If I change the Apple TV display settings from 1080p 60Hz to 1280x1024 60Hz then the iPad is mirrored perfectly without borders top and bottom only left and right as they hold be but ideally I want to keep the 1080p resolution if I can.

 

My Apple TV 3 is connected to my router via Ethernet and my iPad can use either 2.4GHz or 5GHz WiFi bands but nothing fixes the issue.

 

The HDTV is fairly new, a Samsung model from last year so that couldn't be the problem either.

 

Can anone advise? I've seen some posts on the Internet but they are mainly complaining about borders left and right not top and bottom.

Apple TV with iPad - for Business

I am trying to replace as much of my Win7 laptop as possible with my new iPad. My only struggle so far is with presentations. I have my projector (with an HDMI port) that I am thinking I could connect to an Apple TV; however, I am frequently presenting in locations that have either no Wi-Fi or a secured connection that I would not be allowed to access. Do I have to have a Wi-Fi connection in order to connect my iPad to Apple TV? If so, would I be able to use the "Personal Hotspot" from the iPad?

Flagler SIFE wants to help Veterans Farm ‘Get on the Shelf’ of Walmart

Email to a Friend

March 6, 2012

Flagler College’s Students in Free Enterprise team is working on a project to change the lives of disabled combat vets by landing a veteran-made product on the shelves of every Walmart store.

SIFE has teamed up with Jacksonville’s Veterans Farm, an organization that helps disabled combat veterans get back into society through the use of horticulture therapy. The farm grows datil peppers and blueberries that carry the Veterans Farm label.

SIFE’s goal is to win Walmart’s “Get on the Shelf” contest. The competition lets the public vote on products not carried by Walmart. Three winners will be able to sell on Walmart.com, and the grand prize winner could end up on actual shelves of stores.

“Our mission is to win that Walmart competition,” said SIFE adviser Barry Sand. “If we do, it will bring jobs to war veterans all over the country.”

The farm teaches disabled combat veterans skills to help them overcome their physical and mental barriers while also getting jobs. It was started by Sgt. Adam Burke, an OIF/OEF combat veteran and Purple Heart recipient who was wounded in battle during a 15-month tour in Iraq.

“When I returned I noticed that many of my fellow veterans were finding it tougher coming home than leaving for combat,” Burke said. “With more and more vets returning home, the problem is only growing. With this in mind, I started Veterans Farm.”

Through a 6-month fellowship program, veterans learn how to grow organic fruits and vegetables that will provide them with the resources to go out and start their own farms, or to work for larger farming organizations.

The farm teamed with Keith Bailey, owner and CEO of Dr. Datil Food Products to produce the Veterans Farm Datil Salt, and Flagler students helped redesign the product’s labels, produced a commercial and developed a campaign to win Walmart’s “Get on the Shelf” competition.

Flagler SIFE is asking the public to support veterans by going online and voting for Veterans Farm. Voting for the contest is from March 7 through April 3. To view the video and vote, go to http://www.getontheshelf.com/product/4970/Veterans-Farm-Datil-Pepp.

Flagler College Community Lecture Series to look at Yellow Journalism and the Spanish-American War

Email to a Friend

September 20, 2011

The Flagler College Community Lecture Series continues on Oct. 11 at 10 a.m. with a presentation by Dr. John Diviney, associate professor of Liberal Studies. His talk will be, "The Spanish-American War: You Furnish the Pictures and I'll Furnish the War."

"Yellow journalism was pervasive in the United States in the years preceding the war," said Diviney. "Hearst and Pulitzer both owned major newspapers in New York, and they were not averse to sensationalism. I'm looking at this culture and how it played into racial prejudices against blacks and Hispanics. These prejudices in large part fed the decision to go to war. The consequences on Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines were, of course, tremendous."

Diviney is a retired United States Army Major and has completed training missions in Panama, Colombia, Liberia and Buenos Aires. A decorated army veteran, he was awarded the Legion of Merit, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Achievement Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Armed Forces Reserve Medal and the Army Service Ribbon. Widely published in academic and literary journals, Diviney teaches courses in Spanish and Hispanic literature, Latin American Studies and Latin American History.

The Flagler College Community Lecture Series was established in 2007 and offers educational and cultural opportunities to the St. Augustine community. Topics are provided by local experts and Flagler faculty. Tickets are $5 per person for a single lecture, or $15 for the semester. Active military personnel may attend at no charge.

Lectures begin at 10 a.m. in the Flagler Room at Flagler College, 74 King St. Reservations are required as space is limited. The lecture will last approximately one hour and will be followed by a coffee and pastry reception. Call (904) 819-6282 or visit www.flagler.edu/our-community for reservations or more information.

Memoirist and Fiction Writer Peter Trachtenberg to Speak at Flagler College Writers in Residence program

Email to a Friend

September 12, 2011

Nationally-renowned writer Peter Trachtenberg will visit Flagler College on Oct. 3 as the first event of the college's 2011-2012 Writers in Residence Program. Trachtenberg will give a public reading in the Gamache-Koger Room at 6 p.m.

Trachtenberg is the author of "The Book of Calamities: Five Questions About Suffering and Its Meaning" (Little, Brown 2008), a book that combines reportage, memoir and moral philosophy. The work won the 2009 Phi Beta Kappa Ralph Waldo Emerson Award for works that contribute significantly to interpretations of the intellectual and cultural condition of humanity.

"Trachtenberg ... rais[es] complex questions about justice, malice, compassion, blame, self-pity, personal responsibility, faith, and doubt ..." writes O: The Oprah Magazine. "The artistry and humor of his writing, the pain of his mercilessly self-punishing insights, the relentlessness of his guilty misanthropy ... all give Trachtenberg a solid claim to being a genuine American Dostoevsky," writes The Washington Post.

Trachtenberg's fiction, essays and reportage have appeared in The New Yorker, Harpers, Bomb, A Public Space, Bidoun, O: The Oprah Magazine and The New York Times Travel Magazine. He has performed his monologues at Dixon Place, PS 122 and The Kitchen, and broadcast commentaries on NPR's "All Things Considered."

The reading will be held in the Gamache-Koger Room at the Ringhaver Student Center at 50 Sevilla St. in St. Augustine. The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited and is on a first-come, first-served basis. Sign language interpreters available upon request.

Accreditation renewed through 2022

The New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) has renewed Fitchburg State University’s accreditation through 2022, describing a forward-looking institution, committed to excellence and investing in its facilities and community under the leadership of President Robert V. Antonucci and a committed board of trustees.

In a letter informing President Antonucci of its decision, NEASC Chair Richard L. Pattenaude commended Fitchburg State for a “participatory evaluation process that resulted in a candid, well-written self-study. We note with approval that widespread discussions among the campus community became the basis for the university’s mission statement, vision statement, core values, and the goals and objectives” of the university’s strategic plan.

“With an experienced leadership team, dedicated faculty and staff, and a supportive Board of Trustees, the university is positioned for future success.”
–Robert L. Pattenaude, NEASC chairman

“We are gratified to learn that the leadership of the president and his team has led to a renewed pride in and excitement about the institution and that a committed and qualified board of trustees and alumni firmly and enthusiastically support the university,” Pattenaude continued. “We share the judgment of the team that (Fitchburg State) faculty and staff are devoted to students’ needs and success and committed to the vision of the institution as a university.”

Off-campus and distance education programs are also overseen effectively, according to NEASC, and the group congratulated the university on its capital projects including the $57 million science center now under construction.

“With an experienced leadership team, dedicated faculty and staff, and a supportive Board of Trustees, the university is positioned for future success,” Pattenaude wrote.

“The NEASC accreditation review was a thorough and demanding process, in which we incorporated all campus constituencies to take a long, hard look at ourselves, chronicling our strengths as well as areas for improvement,” President Antonucci said. “I am proud that NEASC has awarded us their longest term of accreditation. I also appreciate their recognition of all that we do well, even as the report will guide us as we look to create an even stronger institution.”

The university will submit a five-year interim report in 2017 and NEASC has scheduled Fitchburg State’s next comprehensive evaluation for spring 2022.

The university underwent a comprehensive evaluation visit in March by a team representing NEASC’s Commission on Institutions of Higher Education. The site visit followed a year and a half of exhaustive self-study by university faculty, administrators, staff and students. The visiting team gathered evidence that the self-study was thorough and accurate.

The Commission on Institutions of Higher Education is one of seven accrediting commissions in the United States that provide institutional accreditation on a regional basis.  Accreditation is voluntary and applies to the institution as a whole.  The Commission, which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, accredits approximately 240 institutions in the six-state New England region.

Fitchburg State University has been accredited by the Commission since 1953 and was last reviewed in 2002.  Its accreditation by the New England Association encompasses the entire institution.

Pattenaude’s entire letter to President Antonucci can be viewed on the university’s NEASC web page.

Email to a Friend

October, 1, 2011

The Flagler College Theatre Arts Department kicks off its fall season on Oct. 21 with a six-show production of "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" by Christopher Hampton, presented by special arrangement with Samuel French.

This dramatic adaptation of the 1782 novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos features a tale of seduction set in aristocratic pre-revolution France. A classic drama, the play explores decadent sexuality, morality and manipulation.

In addition to the community performances, Flagler's production of "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" will also be entered in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, a prestigious competition for college and university theater programs around the country. Two actors will also be selected to compete for the renowned Irene Ryan Acting Award.

Flagler College wins two Florida Public Relations Association Golden Image Awards

Email to a Friend

August 31, 2011

Flagler College's Public Relations Student Society of America chapter and Flagler College Magazine both recently won in the Florida Public Relations Association Golden Image Awards. One of the awards recognized the school's 2011 Communication Week in a category for student public relations campaigns.

"We are extremely excited to win an Award of Distinction in the statewide Golden Image competition for the third consecutive year," said Assistant Professor of Communication Rosemary Tutt, APR, CPRC. "My congratulations goes to our PRSSA chapter who not only hosted an outstanding event, but took the reins to fulfill all the requirements for award submission."

Flagler College students Kayla Ward and Kayla Sullivan spearheaded the 2011 Communication Week award submission and attended the FPRA Awards Banquet on Aug. 9, 2011 to receive the award. Communication Week brings in speakers from the field of communication to classes and special talks.

"It was a really great networking opportunity for us to be around all of those public relations professionals," said Ward. "Kayla and I worked really hard to put together our application, so it is a real honor to have been able to accept it on behalf of the rest of PRSSA and Professor Tutt."

This is the third time PRSSA has won on the statewide level. They have also won several awards on the regional level.

Flagler College Magazine, the school's biannual alumni publication with a circulation of 20,500, also took an award of distinction in the magazine category. The magazine was the only publication in the state awarded in that category.

"A big part of the judging for these awards isn't just the look and the content, but also what your mission and goals are, and how well you accomplish them," said Brian Thompson, director of public information and the magazine's editor. "So it's rewarding that the judges feel we're not just an attractive publication, but that we're also achieving what we set out to do."

This is the first time the magazine has won on the statewide level.

The Golden Image Awards competition is conducted annually in Florida and its mission is to advance the development of public relations professionalism. It singles out exceptional public relations programs.

Flagler College ranks 10th on U.S. News list of Best Regional Colleges in the South

Email to a Friend

September 13, 2011

Flagler College ranked 10th in the south for Best Regional Colleges in U.S. News and World Report's new 2012 edition of "Best Colleges." The widely-used college guide includes rankings on more than 1,600 schools nationwide.

The guidebook will be available on newsstands Sept. 20.

"I am very pleased with our ranking by U.S. News and World Report," said Dr. William T. Abare, Jr., president of Flagler College. "It is a significant achievement for Flagler to be ranked among the top regional colleges in the south by this prestigious national publication."

The Best Regional Colleges category includes schools whose focus is almost entirely on the undergraduate experience and who offer a broad range of programs in the liberal arts, as well as fields such as business, nursing and education. The 371 colleges in the category draw heavily from nearby states and are divided into four regions.

The Best Colleges guide compares the quality of schools based on "indicators of excellence" such as freshman retention, graduation rates and the strength of the faculty. Colleges and universities are sorted into categories that the publication bases on the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.

In August, Flagler was also included in the Princeton Review's annual college guide, "Best 376 Colleges – 2012 Edition."

Wednesday and Friday - 10:25am
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday - 7:00pm


Dr. David Busic is the ninth president of Nazarene Theological Seminary. His election on August 31, 2011, by the Board of Trustees was precipitated by the resignation of Dr. Ronald P. Benefiel.

Dr. Busic, 47, is a native of Central Oklahoma and was raised in Bethany. He received the Bachelor of Arts degree from Southern Nazarene University and the Master of Divinity degree from Nazarene Theological Seminary. In 2010, Southern Nazarene University conferred the Doctor of Divinity degree to him. He is currently pursuing doctoral studies in Theology and Culture at Fuller Theological Seminary.

Dr. Busic was ordained in the Church of the Nazarene in 1991. After serving in associate pastor roles in Oklahoma and Kansas, he served three churches as senior pastor: Vineyard Community Church of the Nazarene in Livermore, California; Central Church of the Nazarene in Lenexa, Kansas; and most recently the historic congregation of Bethany First Church of the Nazarene in Bethany, Oklahoma. During his tenure there, Dr. Busic helped initiate and establish the Swaziland Partnership in 2007 to help reduce the HIV/AIDS rate and to assist vulnerable children in Swaziland, Africa.

Dr. Busic has a distinguished tradition of service to the International Church of the Nazarene. He has served as a member of the General Board, the governing body of the denomination, from 2009 to present. During this time he was also elected President of the USA National Board. From 2005 to the present, Dr. Busic continues to serve as a member of the Board of General Superintendents’ Thought Partners, a think tank for critical issues facing the Church of the Nazarene.

Other denominational boards, councils, and positions Dr. Busic has served include Northern California District Nazarene Youth International President, Kansas City District Advisory Board, Northwest Oklahoma District Advisory Board, and Oklahoma District Advisory Board. He has also served on the Nazarene Theological Seminary Board of Trustees, Southern Nazarene University Board of Trustees, and as Adjunct Professor of Preaching at Nazarene Theological Seminary.

Dr. Busic has published numerous articles, co-authored two books, A Pastor’s Guide to Effective Preaching and Sharing My Faith, and was co-editor of Preacher’s Magazine: A Preaching Resource in the Wesleyan Tradition from 2000 to 2007. His preaching is widely respected throughout the church, making him a sought after speaker and leadership advisor.

Dr. Busic and his wife, Christi, currently reside in Kansas City, Missouri. They have three grown children, Megan, and husband, Joel Cantwell; Benjamin, and wife, Alicia; and Madison.

State grants recognize Henry Flagler’s legacy

Email to a Friend

With the adoption of the state budget, Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Legislature recognized the importance of Henry M. Flagler to the state of Florida. The budget included a grant of $350,000 awarded to Flagler College to benefit the former Hotel Ponce de Leon, now known as Ponce de Leon Hall and the centerpiece of the Flagler campus. The Ponce is a National Historical Landmark.

These funds will be used as part of the $2 million project, A Crowning Achievement: The Campaign for Restoration of the Solarium.

“Flagler College is grateful for the recognition and is pleased to be the recipient of these funds, which will assist in completing the restoration of the building for the 125th Anniversary celebration of the opening of the former resort hotel in 1888,” said Flagler President Dr. William T. Abare, Jr. “The celebration and dedication of the Solarium are scheduled to take place in 2013.”

The renovation of the Solarium and the fourth floor of Ponce de Leon Hall will complete the building’s full return to active use.

Historically, the Solarium served as an area where guests could gather for conversation, enjoy entertainment, or watch activities taking place in town or along the bay front. Rehabilitation of this room and the fourth floor will permit similar activities, as well as provide for an exceptional event venue. The Solarium remains as the last significant space to be restored in the former Hotel Ponce de Leon, and the room is quite different than any other.

The fundraising campaign began in 2009, and since that time the college has secured more than $1.5 million from private sources for the project. In honor of their lead gift, the Solarium will be renamed to recognize historic preservation supporters and philanthropists Allen and Delores Lastinger. Mrs. Lastinger is a member of the college’s Board of Trustees.

The Solarium project was selected from a recommended list of ranked Special Category projects in the Department of State budget. In addition, Flagler received first place rankings for a $50,000 small matching grant for the Solarium and a $25,000 exhibition grant as part of the 125th Anniversary program. Restoration work is expected to begin this summer with an anticipated completion date in January or February of 2013.

Memoirist Robert Leleux to speak at Flagler College

Email to a Friend

September 22, 2011

On Oct. 13, Flagler College will host writer Robert Leleux, whose coming-of-age memoir, "The Memoirs of a Beautiful Boy," has been hailed as "wickedly funny and tender" by The Seattle Times. Leleux will read and sign books at the Flagler College Auditorium, 14 Granada Street, at 7 p.m. The presentation is part of a new college series, "Ideas and Images: Scholars and Artists in Residence."

Robert Leleux's essays and articles have appeared in newspapers and magazines across the country, including the New York Times, the New York Times Magazine, and the Utne Reader. He writes the "Tex in the City" column for the Texas Observer and the "History of Style" column for Lonny Magazine, where he is features editor. Leleux is the author of "The Memoirs of a Beautiful Boy," a comedy about the end of his teenage years and his parents' messy divorce. His newest book, "The Living End," will be published by St. Martin's Press in winter, 2012. He is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College and lives in New York City.

Critics have raved about "The Memoirs of a Beautiful Boy." Janet Maslin of The New York Times called the book, "Head-tossing, high-strung comedy ..." "If David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs combined their talents, they might come up with something to match Robert Leleux's mesmerizing memoir," wrote BarrnesandNoble.com

"Ideas and Images: Scholars and Artists in Residence" is a new program at Flagler College. Throughout the academic season the college will feature an international composition of artists and authors, introducing a fresh and creative component to the greater St. Augustine community.

Flagler kicks off Community Lecture Series with presentation on Civil War

Email to a Friend

August 16, 2011

The 2011-2012 season of the Flagler College Community Lecture Series will kick off on Tuesday, Sept. 6, with a presentation on "Friends of the Old Flag: Unionists in Civil War Florida" by Liberal Studies Assistant Professor Tracy Upchurch.

The lecture will take place at 10 a.m. in the college's Flagler Room in the former Ponce de Leon Hotel.

The presentation will explore the experiences of Southerners-particularly those in Northeast Florida-who did not support the Confederacy during the Civil War. Upchurch will examine ways class, geography and proximity to Union strongholds may have played a part in the development and strength of Union loyalties in our region.

"People remained loyal to the Union for different reasons," Upchurch said. "And it's important to ask why they made that decision, and to examine what their experiences were when they expressed their beliefs."

Upchurch received his Juris Doctorate from The University of Florida College of Law and his B.A. from Davidson College with a major in history. He is a former Florida state representative, a former mayor of the city of St. Augustine and a former St. Augustine city commissioner. Upchurch is well-known for his active public and civic service; he serves in an "of counsel" capacity to the law firm of Upchurch, Bailey and Upchurch and is a trustee and former chairman of Flagler Healthcare Systems Inc., the parent company of Flagler Hospital.

The Flagler College Community Lecture Series was established in 2007 and offers educational and cultural opportunities to the St. Augustine community. Topics are provided by local experts and Flagler faculty.

Tickets are $5 per person for a single lecture, or $15 per semester. Active military personnel may attend at no charge. Lectures begin at 10 a.m. in the Flagler Room at Flagler College, 74 King St. Reservations are required as space is limited. The lecture will last approximately one hour and will be followed by a coffee and pastry reception. Call (904) 819-6282 for reservations or more information.

Flagler College and SCORE to host business planning workshop

Email to a Friend

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL (08/15/2011)(readMedia)-- Flagler College is again partnering with SCORE - Counselors to America's Small Business - to host a four-part planning workshop for small businesses. This will be the fourth time that SCORE has presented this highly successful workshop series.

All sessions will be held at Flagler College on Wednesday evenings Sept. 14, Sept. 21, Oct. 5 and Oct. 12 from 6 to 9 p.m. The cost to participate in all four sessions is $99. Attendance at individual sessions is possible for $30 per session.

The workshop is designed both for those with an existing business who wish to grow their business, as well as those considering starting a new business. The SCORE counselors will address preparations for a professional business plan and options for obtaining the necessary financing.

The workshop will be in four parts: business concepts and data collection, marketing strategies, financial forecasting and completing the business plan. It is designed to help clients make a "go" or "no-go" decision for their business idea. Both homework and counseling are a part of the workshop process.

"Small businesses are the backbone of our economic community, and our goal is to both help new entrepreneurs get started, as well as to help existing businesses grow," said Marty Cohen, a SCORE counselor.

To make reservations, please call (904) 460-1251, (904) 471-8891, or email shelmar826@bellsouth.net.

The four sessions that will be presented are:

Business Concepts and Data Collection - This session reviews the process of putting together a Feasibility Plan to determine if a business idea makes sense. This session covers the business idea or concept, the need met by the product or service, industry profile, competition, and target markets. The session also reviews the process of selecting a name, business structure, hiring/managing employees, and determining how and where your business will operate.

Marketing Strategies - This marketing segment reviews the proper positioning of a product or service to maximize its appeal in the marketplace. The session also identifies the features and benefits of a product or service; adapting them to their most appropriate markets using the "4 P's of marketing" to maximize the business opportunity.

Financial Forecasting - This session reviews building a financial model for a business including estimating start-up costs, forecasting sales units and prices, and estimating fixed and variable operating costs to allow the development of a cash flow and income projection, determine breakeven points, and investigate the impact of pricing decisions on a venture's profitability. The session also focuses on understanding accounting principles, general business records, taxes and management accounting.

Completing the Business Plan - This session covers financial statement analysis, accounting and bookkeeping systems, the "six C's of credit," banking relations, and sources of capital both traditional and non-traditional. The session also discusses how to use a business plan, either to secure financing, or as a guide to help one make decisions as one grows their business. The session concludes with a question and answer session with SCORE experts to address any remaining questions.

Apple TV with iPad - for Business

I am trying to replace as much of my Win7 laptop as possible with my new iPad. My only struggle so far is with presentations. I have my projector (with an HDMI port) that I am thinking I could connect to an Apple TV; however, I am frequently presenting in locations that have either no Wi-Fi or a secured connection that I would not be allowed to access. Do I have to have a Wi-Fi connection in order to connect my iPad to Apple TV? If so, would I be able to use the "Personal Hotspot" from the iPad?

Flagler College Art Professor Accepted into English Film and Video Festival

Email to a Friend

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL (08/11/2011) -- Patrick Moser, Art and Design Department chair and associate professor of painting and drawing at Flagler College, recently had his short film, "Patty Goes," shown at the Fundada Artists' Film Festival (FAFF) in Wakefield, England. The festival is a film and video event run by artists intending to showcase the best in contemporary screen-based art.

The film, which features stop animation using 400 different paintings to tell the story of Patty – an homage to 1960s Bigfoot images – was created by Moser while on a faculty research sabbatical grant from Flagler.

"I'm really a painter, but I've been immersing myself in video and film. The curious thing about video art is it's not film," said Moser. "It's a way to experiment with contemporary screen-based art using video, computer programs and animation."

Moser was the only American artist chosen for the film festival.

"I found out about the Fundada Festival on the video site, Vimeo, and submitted it to be considered for acceptance," Moser said. "I never anticipated that it would be selected."

The films were screened in late July at Westgate Studios in Wakefield, England. Moser was unable to attend.

"I've been running an art camp here at Flagler all summer and wasn't able to get away," Moser said. "In the fall, I will be teaching a Video Art class using the skills I've learned during my sabbatical."

Moser received his M.F.A. from the University of Florida and teaches painting and drawing courses at Flagler.

Student Volunteers (L-R): Ronan Storer, Sidney Karr, Chaplain Corey MacPherson, Katie Smith, Danielle Wilson, Sarah Brule, Kelsey Shoulla, Alicia Mahony, Alexander Mack, and Josh Lojzim

A team of nine students volunteered their time following finals week to help with Hurricane Sandy disaster relief in the Freeport, NY area. The team is staying from December 10-15 and is  partnering with Nazarene Disaster Relief and the Freeport Church of the Nazarene to assist in “mudding out houses”  – cleaning up houses flooded during the hurricane so they can be repaired. ENC faculty and staff donated funds to assist the students in their trip; the college community also contributed a U-Haul of goods last month for the NDR warehouse in Bronx, NY.

Borders at Top And Bottom of AirPlay Mirroring

I got an Apple TV a month or so ago to compliment my iPad (3rd Gen) and use the AirPlay mirroring feature. However I am slightly disappointed to find that every time I mirror my iPad's screen, it appears with black borders at the top and bottom of the picture, I understand the need for borders left and right because of the 4:3 aspect but borders top and bottom make the picture smaller. Videos and Pictures appear properly but certain apps that are full screen (such as Asphalt 7) appear with borders all the way around.

 

If I change the Apple TV display settings from 1080p 60Hz to 1280x1024 60Hz then the iPad is mirrored perfectly without borders top and bottom only left and right as they hold be but ideally I want to keep the 1080p resolution if I can.

 

My Apple TV 3 is connected to my router via Ethernet and my iPad can use either 2.4GHz or 5GHz WiFi bands but nothing fixes the issue.

 

The HDTV is fairly new, a Samsung model from last year so that couldn't be the problem either.

 

Can anone advise? I've seen some posts on the Internet but they are mainly complaining about borders left and right not top and bottom.

Alum Gives Seminar on Gene Therapy Treatment for Blindness

Published: 2012-11-07 Dan_Cheung_400
ENC Biology alum, Dan Chung (85)

In mid-October, ENC Alum and Trustee, Daniel Chung (Biology, '85), presented in Shrader Lecture Hall on The Gene Therapy Clinical Trials for Childhood Blindness entitled, “And the Blind Will See.”

Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is an autosomal recessive disease causing blindness by affecting the retina. The disease has an early onset at 5 to 7 years of age, and there are 3 thousand cases of LCA in the United States alone, with not current treatment or cure. The gene therapy clinical trial, conducted by the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania and University of Pennsylvania, is having success treating patients, allowing them to regain vision. Should this clinical trial prove successful and pass the regulations put forth by the FDA, this gene therapy could be the first to be approved in the US. Treatment is an injection of an adeno-associated virus, altered to contain copies of the normal or “good” gene, into the eye.

The first stage of testing, known as the pre-clinical stages, involved treating dogs with LCA. An injection was given to one of two dogs. Results were visibly favorable to the dog given the treatment, while the other still could not see. With success in the pre-clinical stages, the team looked toward proceeding to the clinical trials.

To conduct the clinical trial, the study needed to gain approval from a number of organizations including the FDA. After 7 years, the gene therapy was approved to enter the clinical stages, and in 2008 the first patient was treated. Tests are conducted pre- and post-treatment to determine the success of the gene therapy including reading line charts and ERGs.

Chung was responsible for creating another test; an obstacle course to test the practical enhancements the gene therapy gives the patients. Because only one eye is injected for treated, the baseline test is done with the treated eye covered, and the second test is done with the untreated eye covered. You can watch video of the obstacle course here.

Chung concluded his presentation suggesting that not only does this treatment have the potential to be the first approved gene therapy treatment in the United States, it provides hope for those diagnosed with Leber Congenital Amaurosis and other visual genetic disorders.

Athletic Brand Guide

Athletics have always been a vital part of life at Emmanuel College. The Emmanuel athletic department is vibrant and growing, aggressively pursuing excellence in character as well as excellence in competition. The athletic programs at Emmanuel embody and amplify school spirit, while building a strong sense of community.


In addition, athletics are an integral part of Emmanuel’s strategic plan for future growth. By 2014, we will have grown from 10 intercollegiate sports to 30. Because of this emphasis on athletic growth, it is important to create and maintain an athletic brand that will help us to communicate the spirit of Emmanuel athletics to potential students, players, supporters and community members. Perhaps more than any other segment of the institution, our athletic teams serve as the public “face” of Emmanuel College. This position must not be taken lightly.


This brand manual provides information about the Emmanuel athletic brand. The athletic brand is related to — but distinct from — the institutional brand. While the mission of the athletic department must always support the mission of the institution as a whole, the positioning and personality of the brands differ. The guidelines in this manual are intended to help promote the athletic department clearly and consistently. They apply to all athletic apparel, uniforms, merchandise and multimedia communications.


Please join with us in branding our athletic department, both internally and externally. The Brand Committee is available to answer any questions.


Dr. Michael S. Stewart
President

Apple TV with iPad - for Business

I am trying to replace as much of my Win7 laptop as possible with my new iPad. My only struggle so far is with presentations. I have my projector (with an HDMI port) that I am thinking I could connect to an Apple TV; however, I am frequently presenting in locations that have either no Wi-Fi or a secured connection that I would not be allowed to access. Do I have to have a Wi-Fi connection in order to connect my iPad to Apple TV? If so, would I be able to use the "Personal Hotspot" from the iPad?

AirPlay and Remote no longer working after 6.1 update.

After updating my Apple TV to iOS 6.1 I am no longer able to connect to it via AirPlay (from iPad or iTunes) or even control it with Remote.app on my iPad.

 

After hard restarting it (by unplugging it) I am able to, until it goes to sleep, after which it becomes unreacheable, and remains so even after being awoken by the physical Apple remote.

 

What is going on?

 

Please fix this soon, Apple!

AirPlay has stopped working from my iPad to my Apple TV. It is still working from my iPhone 4S. What has happened?

AirPlay has stopped working from my iPad to my Apple TV.  It is still working from my iPhone 4S.  What has happened? What can I do to fix it? I last used AirPlay around a month ago with no problems and, as far as I know, I have not changed any settings on either device. The AppleTV is only 6 weeks old and runs 5.1.1 software.
