Bob DeSantis brings photo-like paintings to Huntington

By Melissa arnold

Nothing defines a Long Island summer more than lazy days at the beach. And even though autumn is settling in now, it’s still easy to imagine the sun on your face and the water lapping at your feet.

Huntington artist Bob DeSantis has made a career of capturing beloved memories on canvas. Now, art enthusiasts of all kinds can imagine themselves in those scenes with an exhibit entitled Being There, currently on view at the Main Art Gallery at the Huntington Public Library.

“Most of my scenic pieces are fairly large, so when you hang them up in your home it’s like looking out your window and seeing, say, Shelter Island. That’s why people buy my paintings — they want to bring those feelings into their homes,” explains DeSantis, 69, who was born in Brooklyn but has spent most of his life on Long Island.

When you see DeSantis’ art for the first time, you might have to do a double take. Many of his paintings are photorealistic — painted in a way that resembles actual photographs.

Art has been a part of DeSantis’ life for almost as long as he can remember — he even listed becoming a professional artist as his future goal in his high school yearbook. He went on to receive an associate’s degree in commercial art from Farmingdale University (now Farmingdale State College) and a bachelor’s degree in fine art from Hofstra University in Hempstead.

That varied education enables DeSantis to combine the best practices of both fine art and modern technology, as he works with a combination of oil and acrylic paints as well as an airbrush for a smooth, almost flawless texture.

His lengthy career has included graphic design, commercial and fine art that’s been featured all over the country. His paintings have been displayed in galleries and even on products like phone book covers and light boxes. He

also plays several musical instruments and was once a member of the band The Silvertones.

For the past 25 years, he’s worked as an art restorer, helping to correct and repair artwork that’s been damaged through aging or disasters. He has also worked closely with well-known landscape painter Diane Romanello and Civil War artist Mort Kunstler.

While restoration takes up much of his time, DeSantis is always looking for inspiration for his own art.

“I’ll take a ride out to the Hamptons with my camera and if I see something that inspires me, I’ll take photos of it.

Then, I might take a photo of a barrel with flowers in it and incorporate that into the scene,” DeSantis explains.

Using the image editing program Photoshop, DeSantis will experiment with combining scenic photos with furniture, people and decorations. Once he’s satisfied with a concept, he’ll paint it on canvas. “I can duplicate anything

I see and focus on replicating each little detail exactly, which is what makes it resemble a photograph” he said. “It’s a skill that has served me well, both in restoration and my own artwork.”

While some of DeSantis’ most popular art features Long Island hot spots, he’s also known for his portraits of famous people, particularly athletes.

“Years ago I was working for a company doing sports prints of small children wearing the jersey of a prominent athlete,” he explains, adding that the prints were meant to represent those athletes in their early years. He has done similar work featuring child athletes looking up into the sky at their adult selves.

DeSantis is a loyal Yankees fan, and some of his favorite athletes to paint are the greats from that team, including Derek Jeter, Don Mattingly and Joe DiMaggio, among others.

The exhibit at the library will feature more than 20 of DeSantis’ favorite paintings with a variety of subjects, says

Images from Huntington Public Library

Laurene Tesoriero, coordinator of the library’s art gallery.

Tesoriero says that the library hosts a number of art exhibits throughout the year. She’s particularly impressed with how realistic DeSantis’ work is. “[The scenic art] almost looks like [it’s drawn with] pastels. Everything he does is very interesting and draws people in right away. You feel as though you’re a part of the scene,” she says. “And typically you don’t see a lot of sports art around.

It’s so crisp and vivid and I think that has a wide appeal.”

Being There will be on display at the Main Art Gallery at the Huntington Public Library, 338 Main Street, Huntington, through Nov. 22. The exhibit may be seen during regular library hours. Admission is free. For more information, contact Laurene Tesoriero at 631-427-5165, ext.

THIS Year DO YOU Want To reverse Disease? Want To Lose Weight?

Feel Concerned You’re Locked Into Your Genes?

IF YOU THInk IT’S TOO LaTe TO CHanGe, reaD THe COmmenTS FrOm mY prOUD paTIenTS beLOW: The results I have achieved working with Dr. Dunaief have been quite remarkable. My primary goal was to reduce average blood pressure to acceptable levels.

This was accomplished in a little over 3 months.

Coincidentally I was able to reduce my overall cholesterol from 250 to 177 with a much improved LDL/HDL ratio in 4 months.

In addition I lost over 30 lbs and went from 24% body fat to 17.7%. I have some good days but mostly great days and I’m very happy with the results and look forward to even more improvement in the future.

—D.L., age 64

“My pain has subsided considerably. But, I must tell you that I don’t think I would have made it this far without your help. I was a mess when I first saw you, but you gave me a new sense of strength, new knowledge about nutrition and just a better regard for myself.” ~ Nurse Practitioner/ IBS and ulcerative colitis sufferer, age 62

“My cardiologist was so impressed with my results. By following Dr. Dunaief’s advice, I’ve been able to stop all three of my blood pressure medications. My heart palpitations, which were limiting my activities, have dramatically reduced in frequency, my energy levels have increased and I have lost 15 pounds in two months.” ~ Nurse, age 62 “I feel awesome after eating the diet, especially in the morning. I can’t believe how much has improved with such small changes. My cholesterol is normal, and my triglycerides dropped dramatically - almost 200 points! My blood pressure medication was stopped, yet my blood pressure is the best it has ever been.” ~ E.M., age 44

“…just wanted to share the…great news – I passed my fitness test and achieved my highest score ever! Thank you for all your support and help. You know how important this was for me.

Prevention is the key with breast cancer mediterranean diet might decrease risk significantly

By DAviD DunAief, M.D.

NFL players are wearing pink shoes and other sportswear this month, making a fashion statement to highlight Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This awareness is critical since annual breast cancer incidence in the United States is 230,000 cases, with approximately 40,000 patients, or 17 percent, dying from this disease each year (1). The good news is that from 1997 to 2008 there was a trend toward decreased incidence by 1.8 percent (2).

We can all agree that screening has merit. The commercials during NFL games tout that women in their 30s and early 40s have discovered breast cancer with a mammogram, usually after a lump was detected. Does this mean we should be screening earlier?

Screening guidelines are based on the general population that is considered “healthy,” meaning no lumps were found, nor is there a personal or family history of breast cancer. All guidelines hinge on the belief that mammograms are important, but at what age? Here is where divergence occurs; experts can’t agree on age and frequency. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends mammograms starting at 50 years old, after which time they should be done every other year (3).

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends mammograms start at 40 years old and be done annually (4). Your decision should be based on a discussion with your physician.

The best way to treat breast cancer — and just as important as screening — is prevention, whether it is primary, preventing the disease from occurring, or secondary, preventing recurrence. We are always looking for ways to minimize risk. What are some potential ways of doing this?

These may include lifestyle modifications, such as diet, exercise, obesity treatment and normalizing cholesterol levels. Additionally, although results are mixed, it seems that bisphosphonates do not reduce the risk of breast cancer nor its recurrence.

Let’s look at the evidence.

Bisphosphonates

Bisphosphonates include Fosamax (alendronate), Zometa (zoledronic acid) and Boniva (ibandronate) used to treat osteoporosis. Do they have a role in breast cancer prevention? It depends on the population, and it depends on study quality.

In a meta-analysis involving two randomized controlled trials, results showed there was no benefit from the use of bisphosphonates in reducing breast cancer risk (5). The population used in this study involved postmenopausal women who had osteoporosis but who did not have a personal history of breast cancer.

In other words, the bisphosphonates were being used for primary prevention. The study was prompted by previous studies that have shown antitumor effects with this class of drugs. This analysis involved over 14,000 women ranging in age from 55 to 89. The two trials were FIT and HORIZON-PFT, with durations of 3.8 and 2.8 years, respectively. The FIT study involved alendronate and the HORIZON-PFT study involved zoledronic acid, with these drugs compared to placebo. The researchers concluded that the data were not evident for the use of bisphosphonates in primary prevention of invasive breast cancer.

In a previous meta-analysis of two observational studies from the Women’s Health Initiative, results showed that bisphosphonates did indeed reduce the risk of invasive breast cancer in patients by as much as 32 percent (6). These results were statistically significant. However, there was an increase in risk of ductal carcinoma in situ (precancer cases) that was not explainable. These studies included over 150,000 patients with no breast cancer history. The patient type was similar to that used in the more current trial mentioned above. According to the authors, this suggested that bisphosphonates may have an antitumor effect. But not so fast!

The disparity in the above two bisphosphonate studies has to do with trial type. Randomized controlled trials are better designed than observational trials. Therefore, it is more likely that bisphosphonates do not work in reducing breast cancer risk in patients without a history of breast cancer or, in other words, in primary prevention.

In a third study, a meta-analysis (group of 36 post-hoc analyses — after trials were previously concluded) using bisphosphonates, results showed that zoledronic acid significantly reduced mortality risk, by as much as 17 percent, in those patients with early breast cancer (7). This benefit was seen in postmenopausal women but not in premenopausal women. The difference between this study and the previous study was the population. This was a trial for secondary prevention, where patients had a personal history of cancer.

However, in a RCT, the results showed that those with early breast cancer did not benefit overall from zoledronic acid in conjunction with standard treatments for this disease (8). The moral of the story: RCTs

are needed to confirm results, and they don’t always coincide with other studies.

is thought to come from isoflavones, plantrich nutrients.

Exercise

Western versus Mediterranean diets

We know exercise is important in diseases, and breast cancer is no exception. In a recent observational trial, exercise reduced breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women significantly (9). These women exercised moderately; they walked four hours a week.

The researchers stressed that it is never too late to exercise, since the effect was seen over four years. If they exercised previously, but not recently, for instance, five to nine years ago, no benefit was seen.

To make matters worse, only about onethird of women get the recommended level of exercise every week: 30 minutes for five days a week. Once diagnosed with breast cancer, women tend to exercise less, not more. The NFL, which does an admirable job of highlighting Breast Cancer Awareness Month, should go a step further and focus on the importance of exercise to prevent breast cancer or its recurrence, much as it has done to help motivate kids to exercise with its “Play 60” campaign.

Soy intake

Contrary to popular belief, soy may be beneficial in reducing breast cancer risk. In a recent meta-analysis (a group of eight observational studies), those who consumed more soy saw a significant reduction in breast cancer compared to those who consumed less (10). There was a dose-response curve among three groups: high intake of >20 mg per day, moderate intake of 10 mg and low intake of <5 mg. Those in the highest group had a 29 percent reduced risk, and those in the moderate group had a 12 percent reduced risk, when compared to those who consumed the least. Why have we not seen this in U.S. trials? The level of soy used in U.S. trials is a fraction of what is used in Asian trials. The benefit from soy

In an observational study, results showed that, while the Western diet increases breast cancer risk by 46 percent, the Spanish Mediterranean diet has the inverse effect, decreasing risk by 44 percent (11). The effect of the Mediterranean diet was even more powerful in triple-negative tumors, which tend to be difficult to treat.

The authors concluded that diets rich in fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts and oily fish were potentially beneficial.

Hooray for Breast Cancer Awareness Month stressing the importance of mammographies and breast self-exams. However, we need to give significantly more attention to prevention of breast cancer and its recurrence. Through potentially more soy intake, as well as a Mediterranean diet and modest exercise, we may be able to accelerate the trend toward a lower breast cancer incidence.

theater

Dark humor abounds at the CMPAC’s ‘The Addams Family’ risms, brooking no opposition from anyone. Marc Slomowitz as Uncle Fester had a sort of a parallel role. He had mobility, especially facial, and was hilarious in “Fester’s Manifesto” in Act I and “The Moon and Me” in Act II. Then there was Lurch the butler. It was a silent role except for his gurgling and growling, the timing of which evoked some loud laughter, especially from your scribe. Steve Cottonaro handled this role with mimetic menace.

As usual, Matthew W. Surico led a live pit band with his expected genius. There was somewhat of a preponderance of Latin rhythms ranging from tango to 6/8 time Bossa Nova, even a waltz. The musical talents of this 12-piece outfit rose to resplendent heights. Choreography was in the hands of the skilled M.E. Junge who also played a small part as one of the Ancestors while costumes were neatly handled by Ronald Green III. If the audience’s whooping and howling are any indication of the success of this production, it must be a smash hit. Your scribe more tacitly agrees.

By Charles J. Morgan

Deep, dark, dank and dusty were the living quarters of the cartoon-famous Addams Family immortalized by Charles Addams and carried forward by the longrunning TV series. Just in time for Halloween, Oakdale’s CM Performing Arts Center’s Noel S. Ruiz Theatre has produced it in all its necropolitic splendor and funereal solemnity. And by the way … it’s a musical.

Given CMPAC’s penchant for grand and opulent staging, it was phenomenally successful. The ubiquitous and talented Patrick Grossman designed the set with its precise and swift and sure mobility. With keenly executed lighting plot by Carl Tese, the show’s dark and dreary set was suffused with appropriate ominous light including graveyard mist.

Grossman also directed and his skills with blocking and interpretation were palpably patent. CMPAC’s massive venue poses a problem for the making and breaking of character compositions in a coherent, logical (real?) manner. Theatrically, Grossman succeeded mightily in this. When it came to interpretation he did a credible job inculcating “spookiness.”

Jon Rivera, in the role of Gomez, has the dominant role. His voice, somewhere between a tenor robusto and dramatico, carried him emotionally through all his numbers such as “Wednesday’s Grow-

ing Up” and “Gomez’s What If” in Act I. He focuses emotion and sturdiness with masterful acumen.

Denise Antonelle, as his wife Morticia, has a firm soprano coupled with a voluptuous stage presence and a projection ability commingled with exceptional clarity. Their daughter Wednesday was played by Gina Morgigno. Morgigno was ingénue-like in her movements and that plangent voice in Act I’s “Pulled” and

“Crazier Than You” in Act II ranked her as a first rate actress-singer. Fifth-grader Daniel Belyansky, who plays Pugsley, is wonderful in his solo number in Act I, a take-off on Gomez’s number “What If.” He has a strong developing voice, and this showcase number may mark him for much to come.

With a massive blonde wig, Terry Brennan plays Grandma, launching her scratchy, boisterious voice in earthy apho-

Capturing the beauty of our feathered friends

By ErnEstinE Franco

Like many sons, Jay Gammill has followed in his father’s footsteps, a U.S. Navy photographer during World War II. “My father had a tremendous amount of photographic experience. We even set up our own darkroom for processing pictures in our basement. Dad was always the guy with the camera,” said Gammill.

Born and raised in Long Island City, Queens, Gammill spent his entire life on Long Island, with the exception of his four years in the U.S. Air Force, 19681972. He met his wife Janet after returning home from the service. They married in 1976 and moved into their first home in Levittown. In 1999, they moved to their current home in East Setauket.

Gammill received his first camera, a Brownie Starflash, as a young boy. “Boy, was I happy! No one could turn around without a flashbulb going off in their face,” he said. And so began a lifelong passion.

When Gammill entered high school at Rice High School in upper Manhattan, he was in the yearbook photography club, and his parents bought him his first 35mm camera. “That camera was glued to me; if there was any kind of school activity, you could be sure I was taking pictures. It was very gratifying to have many of my pictures published in my senior yearbook,” he said.

Gammill purchased his second 35mm camera while in the Air Force and used it for many years after returning home.

“Friends always whined when I was tak-

ing pictures at parties and social events but those pictures are now filled with golden memories that can really make people smile.”

Retiring as the director of the maintenance training department of New York City Transit in 2009 gave him more time to pursue this unique hobby.

Sitting outside on the deck of his home, Gammill started taking pictures of birds. He found it wasn’t easy. “Then it became a challenge, and I knew I could do better,” he said. “I have an advanced digital camera now {a Nikon D610}, and birds have become my favorite subjects.

My wife, who spent summers in Sound Beach growing up, and I go to parks, ponds, nature areas — anywhere birds

may be feeding or nesting.”

Gammill has some advice for anyone interested in photography. “Taking photographs will expand your horizons.

It is a very enjoyable hobby, getting you out of the house into the fresh air, not to mention some exercise, which I recommend to anyone.” For himself, he has lots of plans. “Now I want to increase my efforts into landscapes, sunsets, night photography and other areas,” he said.

Mimi Hodges, a resident of Sound Beach and long-time friend of Janet Gammill and her family, credits Jay Gammill with revitalizing her own enthusiasm for photography. At a family get-together last year, Gammill invited Hodges to join a closed Facebook photography group.

“The result is that, for the past year, my interest in photography has been revived and I am truly enjoying this renewed passion. I owe it all to Jay,” said Hodges.

Gammill has posted some of his own photographs on Facebook and was surprised that so many people enjoyed them. When asked by friends how he finds these birds, Gammill answers, “They are all around; you just have to look.” And when Gammill looks through his camera, what he sees is spectacular!

When the crisp air and festive colors of fall arrive, it’s time to get out and enjoy the best the season has to offer. From catching a hayride to diving into a pile of crunchy leaves, there are plenty of family activities that can build up a healthy appetite.

Some of the tastiest dishes to serve the family at the end of a perfect day feature the warmth and comfort of fall flavors. Few ingredients say fall like apples, and apple butter is an ideal ingredient for incorporating the rich, traditional flavor of apples and cinnamon into your favorite foods.

Spiced Apple Cake with Orange Glaze IngredIentS: • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup softened butter 2 eggs 1/2 cup buttermilk 1 cup Musselman’s Apple Butter 1 cup powdered sugar 2 tablespoons orange juice 1 teaspoon orange peel

dIrectIonS:

Heat oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves.

In a large bowl cream sugar and softened butter, then add eggs and beat thoroughly. Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk. Stir in apple butter.

Pour batter into a greased 9-by-5-by3-inch loaf pan. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until cake tests done. cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

Make an orange glaze by combining powdered sugar, orange juice and orange peel. Spoon glaze over warm cake.

Apple Butter Roast Chicken IngredIentS: • • • • • • • • •

1/2 cup Musselman’s Apple Butter 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1 whole chicken (3-5 pounds) 4 sprigs fresh thyme 3 cloves garlic, peeled 1-2 teaspoons kosher salt

dIrectIonS:

Heat oven to 375 F. Line roasting pan with foil for easy cleanup. In a small bowl, mix together apple butter, chili powder, cumin, paprika and red pepper. (Adjust spice level to personal preference.) gently pull skin away from flesh of bird. Scoop a little apple butter mixture in your hand and push it between skin and flesh. Lay skin back down and gently rub so apple butter mixture is coating as much of meat under skin as possible. repeat with legs, thighs and breasts, trying not to tear skin.

Place chicken breast-side down in prepared pan. Stuff 1 thyme sprig under each wing and remaining thyme and garlic cloves inside bird. Sprinkle outer skin with kosher salt.

Bake for 20 minutes per pound. tent with foil after 40 minutes to prevent skin from getting too dark. Let chicken cool/rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Caterpillars: Friends or foes in the garden?

By EllEn BarcEl

There are many gardening chores to accomplish in the fall. One that I’m currently working on is bringing in some herb plants to try and keep them growing over winter. Mainly, I want to keep some of my mints growing, but the parsley plant is lush and gorgeous, so I’m going to make a stab at keeping that growing on a bay window. When I went to take a look at the plant, I saw an absolutely beautiful caterpillar on one of the stalks. I knew it wasn’t a monarch, because they go for milkweed (several dined on my butterfly weed, Aesclepias tuberosa, a native variety of milkweed), and besides they have orange strips while my new guest was basically green and black.

Parsley worm caterpillar A bit of research told me that it was a parsley worm caterpillar, which would eventually change into an American swallowtail butterfly, black with blue markings. How was I going to deal with this critter since I really wanted to see it turn into a butterfly, but I also wanted to bring the parsley into the house so I’d have fresh parsley all winter.

Again, research told me that they overwinter in the garden as a chrysalis (that is, a pupa) and emerge from the cocoon in spring (April to May usually) as the beautiful butterfly. So, if you are bringing any plants into the house, check them for hitchhikers.

Break off some of the parsley and set it with the caterpillar in a safe place outside to overwinter. I’ve read that it’s a nasty tasting caterpillar so birds tend to leave it alone.

Some people object to the parsley worm (which is attracted to other plants in the carrot family, such as dill, carrots and Queen Anne’s lace). They can be hand picked off the plants if you want.

Personally, I don’t mind sharing a bit of my parsley with them knowing that they will turn into beautiful butterflies.

Green tomato hornworm Another caterpillar you may find on your garden plants is the large green tomato hornworm. I remember as a kid my father finding them on some tomato plants he was growing. One was covered with white insect eggs, parasitized by braconid wasps. My father removed the caterpillar with the eggs, but I later learned that the wasps perform a valu-

clockwise from above, the parsley worm caterpillar; green tomato hornworm; monarch butterfly caterpillar; and gypsy moth caterpillar

able service to the home gardener, that of devouring other insect pests.

Like the parsley worm caterpillar, they can be easily removed from the plant by hand picking. While the parsley worm will eventually yield a beautiful butterfly, the tomato hornworm can quickly defoliate tomato plants (and other nightshade plants like potatoes, peppers and eggplants) causing serious damage to the garden.

After going through the pupa stage, a large moth will emerge. No, I’m not willing to share my tomato plants with these critters. But, if you find one covered in white eggs, leave it alone since the wasps that will emerge from the eggs will kill the caterpillar and control other insect pests.

So, monarch butterfly caterpillars are good, parsley worm caterpillars are also very good and tomato worm caterpillars are bad, unless they’re covered in wasp eggs.

There are many other varieties of caterpillars that are sometimes beneficial and sometimes not. Remember the gypsy moth caterpillar can be very bad. (See my column of last July 16 for details on this one.)

Check out any caterpillars you find by typing the description into your computer’s search engine to find similar photos to help identify it. Only when you know what you have, should you decide what to do about the critter or critters in your garden.

Huntington Historical Society's Apple Festival this weekend What better way to enjoy Long Island's beautiful autumn weather than at a festival? The Huntington Historical Society's annual Apple Festival returns this Sunday, Oct. 18, at the Dr. Daniel Kissam House Museum, 434 Park Ave., Huntington, from noon to 4 p.m.

For over 20 years the society has sponsored this wonderful family

event, which will feature a haunted hayride, pumpkin painting, old-fashioned games and live music by the Huntingtones. Enjoy traditional demonstrations such as butter churning and candle dipping as costumed interpreters "prepare for the winter."

Children can also create their own seasonal crafts and make a life-sized scarecrow. The Kissam House will be

open for tours and an antique sale will be held in the barn.

In addition, volunteers from the North Shore Animal League will be on hand with adoptable pets.

Food vendors will offer sweet apple treats including caramel and candied apples and apple pies. Apples by the pound will also be on sale along with pickles, pretzels, pot pies and jams.

“The [historical] society board, members, staff and dedicated volunteers are proud to continue this fall tradition for the community. It’s our way of giving back to the neighborhood and friends that support us all year long,” said Maria DeLeo, office coordinator for the society.

Admission is free. For more information, call 631-427-7045, ext. 401, or visit www.huntingtonhistoricalsociety.org.

SB’s Balázsi looks for cellular evolutionary playbook the power of 1

3 2

By Daniel Dunaief

The battle is like a game of chess, with each side making moves and countermoves to gain the upper hand. The difference between this contest and a game two players can walk away from is that the stakes are considerably higher, often marking the difference between life and death.

Predicting the responses of enemies like drug-resistant infections and cancers are critical to winning the high stakes battle.

Gábor Balázsi, a Henry Laufer associate professor of physical and quantitative biology at Stony Brook University, has created a synthetic biological model to understand how systems react to stresses such as antibiotic treatments, or, to extend the metaphor, different moves on the chess board.

He inserted genetic codes into yeast. Some start-up companies have tried to employ these techniques to increase the efficiency of the production of energy or medications.

Companies “engineer bacteria to do something good, but will they be stable? Will they stay the way you engineered them? It’s important to know how long it’ll last, when it’ll break and when you should start a new culture,” Balázsi said.

Indeed, Balázsi used computer simulations and mathematical models to predict the evolutionary fate of these synthetic gene circuits and

3 then tested these predictions through experiments.

In these experiments, Balázsi introduced drugs that would test the yeast’s ability to tap into the inserted genes and make the kind of changes necessary to survive. In some of the experiments, he introduced another chemical that could turn on the synthetic genes. He published this work recently in the scientific journal, Molecular Systems Biology.

In one of the experiments, Balázsi did not enable the yeast to activate the drug resistance gene, and yet, the yeast figured out how to use that gene on its own. These mutations happened in the synthetic gene circuit and in the yeast genome. The mutations gave the yeast the ability to turn on its inserted genetic code.

“The yeast figures out how to start activating those genes without us enabling it to do so,” he said.

This is akin to putting a trombone next to a saxophone player, without teaching the sax player how to make music on the brass instrument.

lázsi feels driven by the desire to make models that can make predictions. He hopes these kinds of experiments can find an application in the ongoing battle with drug resistance and diseases.

“His physics background provides him with a larger scale systems view of what’s happening,” said James Collins, a professor in the Department of Biological Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“He’s one of the pioneers at introducing network approaches into biology.”

Collins and Balázsi worked together when Balázsi was a postdoctoral researcher. The two researchers recently discussed beginning a collaboration using network biology on tuberculosis.

Working with yeast makes it possible to make the kinds of evolutionary predictions and conduct experiments that would be considerably more difficult with animals. With yeast, he can observe as many as 80 generations within 10 days because yeast divide eight to 10 times in the lab.

Observing genetic changes in response to environmental conditions over a few weeks with yeast would be like traveling through centuries with animals or millennia with humans.

Last year, Balázsi completed a five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health through the Director’s Program.

While Balázsi is continuing to work with yeast cells, he is now also pursuing research on cancer. He has been working to introduce multiple synthetic gene circuits into cancer, similar to what he did with yeast, aiming to control cancer cells and understand their biology.

A native of Transylvania, a region that is now part of Romania, Balázsi grew up speaking Hungarian and studied Romanian in school. He came to the United States in 1997. He and his wife Erika live in East Setauket

with their daughter Julianna.

The Balázsi family moved to Long Island last summer.

Balázsi enjoys traveling to New York City and New Jersey, where he and his wife enjoy taking part in traditional Hungarian folk dancing.

The kind of experiments Balázsi has done and would like to continue to do may one day give scientists the ability to anticipate how a cancer or drug-resistant strain of a disease might react to a new treatment.

“If we are clever enough and we design a gene circuit that lures the cells into an evolutionary trap, where they evolve in a certain way that later on becomes disadvantageous, we could possibly help cure” these diseases, he said. This kind of approach and solution, however, is “far away” from the basic knowledge researchers now have because scientists don’t yet understand enough about the evolution of cancer cell populations in humans.

THE QUOTE

‘I couldn’t be more proud of our team to respond to their charge and find a way to win the game.’

— SUE RYAN

SPORTSWEEK STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY

Tomorrow is Friday — wear red on campus!

Edwards scores twice in SBU’s wild win over New Hampshire Redshirt junior forward Raven Edwards continued her torrid scoring stretch with two more goals to lead the Stony Brook women’s soccer team (5-7- 2 overall, 2-2-0 in America East) past the first-place University of New Hampshire Wildcats (66-3, 4-1-0 AE), 3-2, on Sunday night.

“The fans got their money’s worth,” Stony Brook head coach Sue Ryan said. “It was a tale of two halves. We came out and scored two quick goals and dominated the possession, but you have to give credit to New Hampshire. They came out in the second half with a lot of strong pressure to tie the game.”

Senior midfielder Tessa Devereaux put the Wildcats immediately behind the eight-ball with her second goal of the season just 2:09 into the match. Senior forward and midfielder Emily Murrer spotted Devereaux’s run and played a perfectly weighted seam pass into her stride, allowing her to take a touch and finish to the far post.

Edwards increased the lead to 2-0 in the 10th minute, pouncing on a poor first touch from the New Hampshire keeper and slipping the ball into a vacant New Hampshire net.

Stony Brook held the two-goal lead until the 71st minute when Gaby Dorsey headed home a Brooke Murphy free kick.

Murphy tied the game in the 86th minute, hitting a scorching shot from 25 yards out into the upper 90.

Edwards drew a penalty kick a minute later, spinning by New Hampshire’s Kirsten O’Neil, causing her to bring her down in the penalty area. O’Neil was shown her second yellow card of the match for the foul, ejecting her from the contest. Edwards cooly went to the spot and finished to the keeper’s right to lead the Seawolves to a 3-2 win.

“I couldn’t be more proud of our team,” Ryan said, “to respond to their charge and find a way to win the game.”

Edwards’ eight goals are a career-high, moving her into second place in the conference. With her winning goal against the Wildcats, she moved into the school’s top 10 in career goals, with 17.

Edwards is a perfect 4-for-4 on penalty kicks this season.

Halfway through conference play, the Seawolves sit in fifth place in the standings with six points, trailing the University of Maine by a point.

New Hampshire outshot the Seawolves 19-14 in the match. Edwards led Stony Brook with six shots and three shots on goal.

The five goals scored this week are the most Stony Brook has scored in back-toback games since the 2013 season.

Above, Lo Hathaway grabs a dig in a previous contest. Right, Kathy Fletcher spikes the ball.

The Stony Brook volleyball team forced a fifth set after an 0-2 deficit, but was unable to finish off America East foe University at Albany in a five-set loss (23-25, 23-25, 25-14, 27-25, 15-9) Sunday afternoon.

With the defeat, the Seawolves fall to 7-13 and 3-1 in America East, while Albany improves to 9-8 and 4-1 in conference play.

The Seawolves rebounded from an 0-2 deficit in the match with a 25-14 win in the third and 27-25 victory in the fourth.

The fourth set featured a wild rally at 2424, eventually won by the Seawolves after multiple pivotal digs, including an acrobatic play by senior libero Lo Hathaway.

Senior outside hitter Kathy Fletcher had a career day in the defeat, tallying a careerhigh 28 kills on a .357 hitting percentage along with 16 digs.

Hathaway had a season-high 26 digs.

Senior setter Nicole Vogel had a seasonhigh 55 assists and 12 digs.

Senior middle blocker Stephanie McFadden tallied 15 kills and a season-high six blocks.

The loss was the first for the Seawolves in 22 days, as Stony Brook had won four straight since a loss to Army West Point on Sept. 19.

Hathaway was honored in a pre-match ceremony for breaking the Seawolves’ alltime digs record in September.

Stony Brook is back in action Friday at 6 p.m. at the University of Hartford.

Book time with a dog

Alexander, age 10, of Stony Brook, and his brother, Jonah, age 8, took turns reading to Jessie, a beautiful golden retriever and certified therapy dog, at the Emma S. Clark Library in Setauket last Thursday evening, as part of the library’s BARK — Books Are Read to K-9s — program. In cooperation with Patchogue Rotary Animal Assisted Therapy, the program is designed to help children improve their reading skills. During his 20 minute session, Alexander read excerpts from “Big Nate Out Loud,” by Lincoln Peirce, and then Jonah read from “Lunch Lady and the Video Game Villain,” by Jarrett J. Krosoczka, while Jessie, along with handler Rich Musetti, listened intently.
