Ross Laird
No full textRoss Laird was a perfect choice to tackle discussing the collective trauma we all experienced from the extraordinary events of 2020 and 2021. Of course, for individuals and many groups of people, traumatic experiences can be ongoing, or stretch over longer periods of time. 2020 marked the recognition of an immediate worldwide threat to all of humanity, and a radical shift in every means of being with other people, and profound alterations in knowledge, instruction, and educational experiences were shared. Ross unpacked our universal, human responses to trauma, characterized as the familiar flight, freeze, orient, and fight impulses from detailed definition and ramifications all the way to exploring effective and evidence-based ways to help ourselves and others (e.g., students) come to the healthiest and most beneficial use of the unpleasant triggers. This involves meeting flight with belonging, freeze with trust, orient with safety, and fight with empowerment. In the context of our collective experiences in post-secondary education with lockdown, exposure of large-scale inequalities, and personal separation, Ross delivered a very valuable set of tools for moving forward.

[Letter from Bill Ross to Truett Latimer, August 16, 1961]
No full textLetter from Bill Ross to Truett Latimer discussing a situation with the providers of dairy to the Abilene State School. Mr. Ross says the dairy contract went to Oak Farms and adds that The Borden Company and Foremost Dairy of Abilene did not receive an invitation to bid for it. He says that the bid Oak Farms has with the school is higher than the price they are currently purchasing dairy products and that the difference would cost them $6000 in the next twelve months
Face by Ross Harris
No full textGrylls. K.L. (Chorusmaster - Voices NZ); Hermus, A. (Conductor - Auckland Philharmonia)Voices NZ was invited to be the choir for the premier performance of NZ composer, Ross Harris's work, "Face." The Auckland Philharmonia was conducted by Dutch conductor, Antony Hermus. In addition, the rehearsals and the performance were recorded byAtoll's Wayne Laird and the recording will be released on the NAXOS label, later this year. This work has also been performed in London with the BBC Singers.https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=1203758

Sunitinib treatment exacerbates intratumoral heterogeneity in metastatic renal cancer
No full textThis work was supported by the Chief Scientist Office, Scotland (ETM37; to G.D. Stewart, A.C.P. Riddick, M. Aitchison, and D.J. Harrison), Cancer Research UK (Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre; to T. Powles, London and D.J. Harrison, Edinburgh), Medical Research Council (to A. Laird and D.J. Harrison), Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (to A. Laird), Melville Trust (to A. Laird), Medical Research Council (MC_UU_12018/25; to I.M.

Stewart) and an educational grant from Pfizer (to T. Powles).Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of VEGF targeted therapy (sunitinib) on molecular intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) in metastatic clear cell renal cancer (mccRCC). Experimental design: Multiple tumor samples (n=187 samples) were taken from the primary renal tumors of mccRCC patients who were sunitinib treated (n=23, SuMR clinical trial) or untreated (n=23, SCOTRRCC study). ITH of pathological grade, DNA (aCGH), mRNA (Illumina Beadarray) and candidate proteins (reverse phase protein array) were evaluated using unsupervised and supervised analyses (driver mutations, hypoxia and stromal related genes). ITH was analysed using intratumoral protein variance distributions and distribution of individual patient aCGH and gene expression clustering. Results: Tumor grade heterogeneity was greater in treated compared to untreated tumors (P=0.002). In unsupervised analysis, sunitinib therapy was not associated with increased ITH in DNA or mRNA. However, there was an increase in ITH for the driver mutation gene signature (DNA and mRNA) as well as increasing variability of protein expression with treatment (p<0.05). Despite this variability, significant chromosomal and transcript changes to key targets of sunitinib, such as VHL, PBRM1 and CAIX, occurred in the treated samples. Conclusions: These findings suggest that sunitinib treatment has significant effects on the expression and ITH of key tumor and treatment specific genes/proteins in mccRCC. The results, based on primary tumor analysis, do not support the hypothesis that resistant clones are selected and predominate following targeted therapy.Peer reviewe
The True Nature of the Satyricon?
No full textThis paper considers the Satyrica in relation to the developing history of Greek prose fiction, highlighting some problems presented by a panoramic view of Greco-Roman literary history for interpretation of this work. The aim of this discussion is not to argue firmly for a later period of composition for the Satyrica, but to highlight the fact that its date has not yet been properly settled. This awkward question cannot but bear on the way in which the work is viewed in relation to a constellation of potential Greek influences and sources. Andrew Laird is Reader in Classical Literature in Warwick University. He has published widely on Latin prose fiction and is co-editor of A Companion to the Prologue of Apuleius\u27 Metamorphoses (OUP 2001). He is author of Powers of Expression, Expressions of Power (OUP 1999) and The Epic of America (Duckworth 2006)
