<Title>Researcher of the Week: Ryan Wentworth</Title>
<Tagline>Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">This research investigates how the frequency of  portfolio rebalancing affects the risk and return of an investor’s  portfolio.  Portfolio rebalancing refers  to reallocation between asset classes to match the targeted portfolio allocations.  Increases or decreases in asset values over  time will cause actual asset holdings to differ from targeted allocations.  Popular portfolio allocations will be  simulated using U.S. data on asset class returns, such as stocks and bonds,  over the time period from 1926-2009.  For  each portfolio, a sensitivity analysis will be conducted to determine how risk  and return are affected by different rebalancing frequencies.  One, two, three, four and five year  rebalancing frequencies will be used.   For each portfolio and rebalancing period, the average return, standard  deviation of return (which measures risk) and Sharpe Ratio (the standard  risk-return statistic) will be calculated.   The optimal rebalancing period will be the one that maximizes the Sharpe  Ratio.  Additionally, these portfolios  and sensitivity analyses will be constructed for multiple time frames within  the range of 1926-2009.  Using  information from multiple time frames can help assess whether the optimal  rebalancing period is consistent, and account for differences in returns on different  assets during different time periods.   Knowing whether there is an optimal time frame to rebalance a portfolio  is important for portfolio management decisions because it is a variable that managers of portfolios must consider.</div>

<Title>Campus Life and Social Media</Title>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <span>In the Office of Student Life, we spend much of the summer planning ahead (something that's all too difficult to do during the rush of a school year).  This summer, a few of us have been brainstorming about how to harness social media to enhance campus life.  We want to build better connections among students, and between staff and students.  We're hoping to supply relevant and timely information about programs, student organizations, campus news and opportunities to make a difference in our community.  We're ready to leap beyond static web sites . . . but into what?  <a href="https://foursquare.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Foursquare</a> check-ins and <a href="http://twitter.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Twitter</a> updates from campus events?  <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">TED Talks</a>-style videos highlighting campus personalities and issues? Live online chats?  If Student Life had an app, what would it do, or enable you to do?</span><br>
    <div><span><br>
    </span></div>
    <div>
    <span>We've given ourselves a deadline of August 15th to get our plans together and be ready to launch.  We've taken a few tiny, preliminary steps: check out/subscribe to the Twitter feeds from <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/UMBCEvents" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBCEvents</a> (Shannon Booker from The Commons), <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/UMBCCampusLife" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBCCampusLife</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/UMBCStudentOrgs" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBCStudentOrgs</a> (Sara Leidner from the Office of Student Life) and <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/CoCreateUMBC" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">CoCreateUMBC</a> (that's me), and see/like the newly created Facebook pages for <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/UMBC-Events/222342501123315" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBCEvents</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/UMBC-Campus-Life/247302971951804?ref=ts" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBCCampusLife</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/UMBC-Student-Orgs/231648426860623" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBCStudentOrgs</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Co-Create-UMBC/245925042090182" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">CoCreateUMBC</a>.  There's not an abundance of content yet, but there will be (and SEB has been at this for a while; see <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/umbcseb" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">umbcseb</a> on Twitter, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/umbcseb" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC SEB</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001574401622&amp;ref=ts" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC SEB Street Team</a> on Facebook).  Meanwhile, please, help us out here:  What should we be creating?  How can we/you use social media to enhance your UMBC experience?</span><br>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">The prostate  is a male accessory sex gland that stores and secretes proteins into the seminal  fluid during ejaculation. Prostate cancer accounts for approximately 30,000  deaths annually in the United States alone. A number of genes have been  implicated in the origin and progression of prostate cancer. One possible  mechanism in human prostate cancer involves both the activation of an oncogene (<em>MYC</em>) and the loss of function of a  tumor suppressor gene (<em>PTEN</em>). Mouse  models based only on the overexpression of <em>MYC</em> or the loss of function of <em>Pten</em> have  been derived. However, no mouse model exists in which both these events are  replicated. The aim of this study was to generate prostate-specific activation  of <em>MYC</em> and the loss of <em>Pten</em> in a single mouse model. To achieve  this goal, we have taken advantage of a prostate-specific <em>Hoxb13</em> promoter to drive the <em>MYC</em> oncogene (Hoxb13/MYC) and <em>Cre</em> recombinase (Hoxb13/Cre) with a floxed <em>Pten</em> mouse. Mice carrying these modifications were interbred and their progeny  analyzed by Southern blot and PCR techniques for inheritance of all three  transgenes. To date, we have identified mice that carry all three alleles. We  are waiting for phenotypic analysis of these mice in terms of development of prostate cancer.</div>
