Rick Biernacki (PhD 1988) writes:
Prof. Bock served graduate students as a model of prudence in remaining unfashionably true to the grand questions of social inquiry. He also rescued me with his calm adroitness. During the interminable period in my graduate studies when I was readying field papers for the qualifying exam, Prof. Bock spontaneously invited me to his office and began quizzing me on historical method. “How would a happening qualify as an historical event from your point of view?” he asked. Then he queried me on interpretations of The Eighteenth Brumaire. I had no clue as to why Prof. Bock was quietly posing such a variety of challenges. It seemed my drafts had struck him as unintelligible. After thirty minutes of probing, Prof. Bock advised me to take the qualifying exam as soon as the relevant faculty could assemble – quit rewriting the qualifying papers was his advice. Prof. Bock was so statesmanlike in shepherding me toward the dissertation itself, I have tried to carry on his earmark style of wisdom in advising graduate students ever since.

I was a TA for Ken Bock. He was my first experience teaching; I was nervous, not sure that I had something to say to the students I would be teaching. He encouraged me, allowed me to participate in choosing the books for the course and to give some lectures to the whole class, not just the sections I was teaching. He regularly sat in on one of the twice-a-week section meetings, never saying anything, but he included questions about what I had been teaching on the final exam, which told me that I was at least on th Published in final edited form as: Synapse. 2016 Feb 11;70(4):163–176. doi: 10.1002/syn.21893 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by Aβ plaques in the brain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel radiotracer, 4-[C]methylamino-4′-N,N-dimethylaminoazo-benzene ([C]TAZA), for binding to Aβ plaques in postmortem human brain (AD and normal control (NC)). Radiosyntheses of [C]TAZA, related [C]Dalene (C-methylamino-4′-dimethylaminostyrylbenzene), and reference [C]PIB were carried out using [C]methyltriflate prepared from [C]CO2 and purified using HPLC. In vitro binding affinities were carried out in human AD brain homogenate with Aβ plaques labeled with [H]PIB. In vitro autoradiography studies with the three radiotracers were performed on hippocampus of AD and NC brains. PET/CT studies were carried out in normal rats to study brain and whole body distribution. The three radiotracers were produced in high radiochemical yields (>40%) and had specific activities >37 GBq/μmol. TAZA had an affinity, Ki = 0.84 nM and was five times more potent than PIB. [C]TAZA bound specifically to Aβ plaques present in AD brains with gray matter to white matter ratios >20. [C]TAZA was displaced by PIB (>90%), suggesting similar binding site for [C]TAZA and [C]PIB. [C]TAZA exhibited slow kinetics of uptake in the rat brain and whole body images showed uptake in interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT). Binding in brain and IBAT were affected by preinjection of atomoxetine, a norepinephrine transporter blocker. [C]TAZA exhibited high binding to Aβ plaques in human AD hippocampus. Rat brain kinetics was slow and peripheral binding to IBAT needs to be further evaluated. Keywords: [C]TAZA, human Aβ plaque, Alzheimer’s disease, PET imaging, Private lenders, this one’s for you.

Thanks for tuning in and enjoy this week’s episode of Lender Lounge with Kevin Kim. Kevin Kim: 2002 television film by Larry Shaw Cadet Kelly is a 2002 American militarycomedy film released as a Disney Channel Original Movie and starring Hilary Duff and Christy Carlson Romano. The film premiered with 7.8 million viewers. It is Duff's second starring film role, her first being Casper Meets Wendy. This was Disney Channel's second film filmed in Canada. Kelly Collins (Hilary Duff), is a free-spirited high schooler whose mother marries Brigadier General Joe "Sir" Maxwell (Gary Cole). When her new stepfather becomes the Commandant of a military school, George Washington Military Academy, Kelly and her mom move upstate. Kelly has to enroll at the school, since it is the only school in the area, leaving behind her art school and her best friend Amanda (Sarah Gadon). On her first day at military school, she befriends Carla (Andrea Lewis), a girl who has been there for a long time and shows her the ropes. Kelly, at first, has trouble fitting in and obeying the orders of the officers above her, especially Cadet Captain Jennifer Stone (Christy Carlson Romano), who has a crush on Cadet Major Brad Rigby (Shawn Ashmore). Kelly feels drawn to Brad instantly, and competes with Captain Stone for his attention. Captain Stone does not treat Kelly well, verbally abusing her by calling her "maggot" and destroying her personal belongings. After taking a long time to complete an obstacle course, Captain Stone has Kelly take the course again. After getting all dirty from the course and finishing it, Kelly heads to the dance, but accidentally stumbles and ruins Captain Stone's dress at the dance, much to her anger. Her stepfather talks to Kelly in his office about the incident and what the teachers are saying about her. At home, Kelly is ready to tell her mom about her feelings and opinions of the new school, but before she could even start, her mother reveals to her that Kelly is going to have a half-sibling.
