He has the potential to do both, but will most likely do neither... As his game is not put together enough to challenge GSP at this point imo...
If he lands on GSP, I highly doubt GSP would be able to handle it... but it is very unlikely that he would even land anything big.... I have no question that he has the ability to get GSP down, but what then? Can he hold him down, do some GNP, etc? And what happens when GSP keeps him on the end of his jab and puts him on his back as soon as he gets within his range...
I also dont get why people are so quick to overlook someone like Askren... A few years from now he could be a real problem for GSP... He would look to get GSP down from start to finish... Not play GSP's game of striking with him, until you get caught off guard and he puts you on your back... the WW Sonnen.
It's hard to get excited for this fight since Hendricks is a left handed, younger version of Kos. He is giving up huge reach to GSP, and I doubt he has the gas tank to be competitive for a full 5 rounds. I hate seeing fights that are based on a punchers chance.
Hendricks has definitely earned his shot, knocking out two top 5 opponents and beating Kos...but we will see GSP vs Kos again if this fight happens. Hendricks seems to be smarter than Kos so we'll see what happens.
Hendricks' Coach: If GSP Wants Money Fight Anderson Silva But Top Contender is Johny Hendricks | MMAWeekly.com
If GSP really wants the Diaz fight, he should be rooting for Diaz in his next couple fights. Diaz doesn't deserve the shot, Hendricks does. Hendricks has beaten 3 top 5 fighters in the welterweight division. How many has Diaz beaten?
UFC's Johny Hendricks: 'I'm not going to fight unless it's for a belt'
"I'm not going to fight unless it's for a belt," Hendricks on Friday told MMAjunkie.com Radio (MMAjunkie.com). "Nothing else matters but the belt. My last three fights were guys in the top five, and I finished two of those three fights. I stated my claim. My stock's really high right now, and the only thing left is to get a shot at that belt.
"I really want a belt. They don't come around that often, and I feel like I've done enough to earn a shot, and that's pretty much all I'm thinking of right now. I'm training for a five-round fight, and that's it."
And with that, Hendricks (14-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) put his foot down. If St-Pierre fights Silva, "Bigg Rigg" will wait, and he'll wait as long as it takes for his next fight to be for the title.
Hendricks has won five straight, and in two of his past three he's stopped top-five welterweights with just one punch. Kampmann went down in 46 seconds courtesy of his left hand. And at UFC 141, Jon Fitch was dropped in just 12 seconds – with that same now-famous left.
But then there's the business of the St-Pierre camp being interested in the fight against Diaz that was scheduled to happen more than a year ago before a St-Pierre injury put him on the sideline, setting up Diaz-Carlos Condit for the interim title. And after that fight in February, Diaz was suspended for a year after a positive drug test.
And that has Hendricks equally perplexed, that St-Pierre or his camp perhaps are trying to work their way around him.
"He's trying to keep money from my kids," Hendricks said. "If I win that belt and take it from him, my life changes. He's trying to not give me the fair shot. That's crazy to me to think this guy is trying to control my future. That makes me want to win that much even more."
Hendricks said he believes it comes down to the St-Pierre team believing a Diaz fight is one they can win, but a Hendricks fight is one that could give them some trouble.
"Here is a guy is trying to pull out a curveball saying, 'We really don't think we can win with this guy, but we think we can beat Nick Diaz.' That's what it sounds like to me," he said.
Though the UFC has not told him anything definitively, and St-Pierre has been on a vacation since his win over Condit, his first fight in nearly 19 monhts, Hendricks believes, ultimately, the UFC and St-Pierre will make the right decision.
In his mind, that's a fight with him as the No. 1 contender, not Diaz for his first fight after a loss to Condit and a yearlong suspension.
"I think I'm going to be fighting GSP in six months – April or May," he said. "I want GSP, and nothing else matters. Nobody else is in the equation in my mind. But hypothetically, as long as it takes (to get GSP is how long I'll wait). You only get so many opportunities to fight at the top level and stay at the top level.
"I can't keep fighting and being the No. 1 contender for years. There has to be a time to take a stand, and I feel like now is that time."

I think Hendricks is very impressive, but I don't feel that I've seen enough to really have a sense of how he'll fair against GSP. Though, again, I need to rewatch his earlier like with Pierce.
His Kos fight really didn't impress me; I actually thought he lost that fight.
I also thought he lost the Kos fight and the Pierce fight wasn't very impressive either. As for the early ko's, they can happen to anyone.
Fitch was coming back off a layoff it could be argued and Kampman almost always eats a big shot early in his fights only to come back, BUT Hendricks has fucking dynamite in his hands.
They will got to hype this fight and make Hendricks look like he's up for the task. As Gsp will say "He is the most danyerus opponent in my carerr" lol. Then go on to humiliate Hendricks.

The "2nd coming of Serra"???!
Like Matt Serra is a chubby Jeebus and he's coming back to bring pasta on earth??

The Angels, as expected, did not make a $13.3-million "qualifying offer" to Torii Hunter by Friday's 2 p.m. deadline, a decision that does not preclude the veteran right fielder from returning to Anaheim but clearly reduces the chances.
The Angels can continue to negotiate with Hunter, but so can 29 other teams. After hitting .313 with 16 home runs and 92 runs batted in last season and carrying the Angels for much of September, there should be plenty of suitors for Hunter despite the fact he's 37.

A group opposed to the redevelopment of Solo Cup is demanding that Councilwoman Vicki Almond turn over records related to her efforts on behalf of Greenberg Gibbons, the developer of the project.
The three-page letter filed Tuesday by Say No to Solo Cup requests emails, instant messages and other documents from Almond and her staff as it relates to Greeenberg Gibbons and its lawyers, including former County Executive Jim Smith. Most of the documents requested relate to Almond's travel to Las Vegas to attend the International Council of Shopping Centers conference.
Almond is scheduled next week to announce a zoning decision that could lead to a redevelopment of the Owings Mills property. Greenberg Gibbons plan to build Foundry Row, a shopping center complex that would include a Wegmans grocery store.
Supik declined to discuss the request.
"It wasn't meant to become public to begin with," said Supik, who is part of the group Say No to Solo Cup.
"These are not accusations, these are questions," said Supik. "We're concerned about the integrity of the process and hope that Councilwoman Almond and the County Council will release the information and reassure the public."
Almond was not immediately available for comment.
The letter filed with Almond and the council seeks the documents prior to August 28, when the final zoning decision on the Solo Cup property is scheduled to be announced.

Youth violence refers to harmful behaviors that can start early and continue into young adulthood. The young person can be a victim, an offender, or a witness to the violence.
Youth violence includes various behaviors. Some violent acts—such as bullying, slapping, or hitting—can cause more emotional harm than physical harm. Others, such as robbery and assault (with or without weapons) can lead to serious injury or even death.
In this video session released last week from the Atlanta-based CDC, Grand Rounds explored the societal burden of youth violence, and the evidence-based approaches and partnerships that are necessary to prevent youth violence and its consequences.
Homicide, the third leading cause of death among young people 10 to 24, is responsible for more deaths in this group than the next six leading causes of death combined.
Each day, there are 13 homicides in this age group and an additional 1,700 youth treated in U.S. emergency departments for assault-related injuries, resulting in an estimated $17.5 billion in total costs per year.
While many prevention programs have been found to significantly reduce youth violence, the available evidence-based approaches are often not used in communities because of real and perceived challenges to implementation.
Some communities and public health departments have successfully built the capacity to take advantage of what we know works and are seeing substantial declines in youth violence.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — For anyone watching the MLB postseason, they have seen pitchers dominate almost every game. Each night the old adage, "good hitting beats good pitching" seems to be on display.
Moore High and Southmoore hopes that counts for them also as they head into the 6A state fast pitch tournament today at The Ball Fields at Firelake in Shawnee. With Jenna Lewis and Katelyn Brown on the mound for their respective teams, the cross-town rivals could be on a collision course in the title game.
The Lions enter the tournament as the top seed with a 31-3 team record. Despite missing a few games this season, Lewis racked up a 22-1 record and hasn't loss since the first game of the season.
"Jenna is the catalyst of our squad," MHS coach Stephanie Riley said. "She knows she has the team on her shoulders, but she also knows this team will do everything necessary to back her up. She has grown mentally in the game and within herself. She is stronger than she has ever been on the mound."
Lewis has been almost untouchable this season. She pitched 111 innings in 24 games. She allowed 45 hits and 15 runs while also striking out 95 batters.
"Jenna is a very solid pitcher," Riley said. "She doesn't throw the ball as hard as some we have had in the past, but I think Jenna moves the ball and changes speeds better than anyone we have had. She does very well at keeping batters off guard."
As dominant as Lewis as been, Brown has been equally effective for the SaberCats (28-4). The senior has compiled a 19-2 record, gave up 29 hits, allowed only seven earned runs and struck out 175 opponents this season in 109 innings.
"Katelyn has been absolutely awesome for us this year," Southmoore coach Jeff Small said. "She has been dominating at times. Quite a bit of the time. If she can relax, keep the ball down and hit her spots, she is as good as anybody."
Moore will face Sand Springs at 3 p.m. while Southmoore and Jenks face off at 5 p.m. The winners will advance to the Friday's semifinals. The 6A championship game is set for 4 p.m. Saturday.
If the Lions and 'Cats play to their potential, fastpitch fans could see a titanic rematch of the regular season duel, in which Lewis came out on top of Brown.
However, both coaches know that in order to claim a state title, a team needs more than just a good arm.
"We are playing really well right now," Riley said. "We are strong on the mound, offensively, and defensively. The girls are really enjoying playing together, which makes us stronger every day. We need to stick with our game plan that we started on July 26, the first day of practice. We have shed blood, sweat, and tears this season, but we have stayed solid together. "
While Moore is used to playing at this time of the year, the 'Cats are still learning what it takes to go for the gold ball.
"More than anything else, I want them to relax and play like they know they can," Small said. "It's taken us a while to get here. We think it's a state tournament that's as wide open as any. I don't think there is anybody that is dominating. A lot of times, you see that at this level. You have to play well and when you get the opportunities, you have to take advantage of them. Because you don't get very many."

Move over, Jimmy Carter. You've got someone on the fast track to replace you as the worst president in the history of our nation.
And he's done all this in only 28 days!
First of all, he's arrogant. Going around, still in a campaign mode, blaming Republicans for blocking progress, while _ depending on the poll taken _ 56 to 60 percent of Americans see the "stimulus" package as a bad solution to our present economic woes.
Then you chide Republicans by saying on one of your campaign stops, "What do you think a stimulus is? It's spending. That's the whole point!"
This, of course, earned him a few chuckles from his "Kool-Aid" crowd. But, as Lindsey Graham pointed out on a Sunday news show, of the massive $787 billion bill, only $3 billion is going to small business.
Sorry, Barack, it's you who doesn't know what a stimulus package is supposed to be. It's not about welfare and pork spending. It's about job creation and economic growth. I wonder if he really knows that jobs come from small businesses.
How about his dishonesty? Even his biggest fan, The New York Times, is starting to get a little antsy with the guy.
On his first day in office, he solemnly pledged to impose the toughest ethics rules of any modern-day president. It was a huge campaign promise and it took about a week for him to break it.
Bill Richardson, commerce secretary nominee, was the first casualty. Then came William Lynn, nominated for the No. 2 position in the Defense Department.
Somehow, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner slipped through with all his tax cheating, but Nancy Killefer's and Tom Daschle's tax issues sunk them.
Finally (so far), there was Hilda Solis and her husband's problems. It was very inconvenient for her that she filed a joint return with him.
Remember how Obama promised transparency in government and the opportunity to allow the public to view any passed proposals for five days before he signed the bill into law?
Oops, there goes another promise broken. The Senate had the final bill, 1,073 pages full of vagueness, given to it only hours before the vote was to be taken.
The Republican senators were also, as were the House Republicans, shut completely out of the process. No input, no give-and-take, no negotiations and no consideration of any Republican suggestions.
So much for bipartisanship. Fortunately for Obama, he was able to buy three make-believe Republicans _ Specter, Collins and Snowe _ to get his bill passed. Specter was bought for $6.5 billion for "medical research." No details, again, just vagueness.
Now for Obama's radicalism. He is now responsible for the largest pork and welfare spending act in history. This is the largest welfare bill ever.
It will cause the size of government to expand hugely and permanently. Future generations, from both liberal and conservative families, will be hit with a massive federal debt to be paid back with very, very high taxes.
People shouldn't forget that he was the most liberal, partisan member of Congress. Did you really expect to get the "change" that was promised?
You 53 percent who voted for him are now responsible for him. You got a youthful, radical, naive, inexperienced liberal who has no idea how to run a country.
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and their radical ilk will be leading him by the nose repeatedly in the future.
As columnist Rich Lowry points out, Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich tried to limit the size of government and partially succeeded.
From 1983 to 2000, government spending went from 23.5 percent of GDP to 18.4 percent. Newsweek pointed out the percent was 20.9 percent last year and will probably go to 28 percent this year.
It also said: "In 2010, total U.S. government spending will be 39.9 percent of GDP, only about 8 percent less than the average in the socialistic eurozone countries."
So conservatives, there is a silver lining. With Obama leading the country, our party can only gain in strength.
As columnist David Limbaugh rightly says, "President Barack Obama has done more in the first three weeks of his presidency to validate the suspicions of his critics than I thought possible."
Republicans had a chance to control spending, and let everyone down when they failed to illustrate the differences between themselves and the Democrats. They dropped the ball that time, but we will have one more chance to lead in the near future.
Fortunately, Obama is helping us tremendously in pointing out the distinctions between the parties. Let's just sit back and enjoy the show.
Soon, I want to bring to the fore all the ridiculous spending features of the bill. It might take more than one column to point out all the wasteful spending, and you never know how soon Barack will screw something up again.
Tom Sears is a professor of accounting at Hartwick College in Oneonta. He can be reached at email@example.com. His column appears every other week.

Education and recreation are the driving forces behind the recent maintenance of "Pocket Park," tucked between the Department of Environmental Protection parking garage and former Windstream building on Market Street, according to local agency representatives.
Volunteers and leaders from the ARC of Crawford County, Meadville Redevelopment Authority and Crawford County Master Gardeners met at the park last Friday to clear dead plants, rake leaves and remove weeds from the soil areas and brick walkway.
"ARC usage is the main goal," according to Jill Withey, MRA executive director, who says park maintenance has been a long time coming. "This gives the ARC a nice in-town project and handles maintenance for us."
Master Gardeners are expected to educate ARC clients and staff, honing their gardening and planting skills while they in turn beautify the compact area with flowers and fresh foliage. The ARC advocates for the rights of citizens who have intellectual disabilities, according to its website, enhancing their lives by promoting maximum independence and affording them opportunities for enrichment in their communities.
Ginny Steiger, Master Gardener representative, helped ARC clients and staff with initial trimming and cleanup Friday morning and afternoon.
"The plan is to clear out the area and fill in some spots with hostas and other plants," she said. "Hopefully next spring we can find a sunny spot for a pollinator garden to attract some butterflies."
Steiger also hopes to bring foresters and educators from the Penn State Cooperative Extension to survey the site.
"(Master Gardeners) will teach us how to plant bulbs and mulch around the existing plants," said Diane Albaugh of the ARC, who helped conceptualize the project with Withey and Steiger. "Next spring we hope to plant regular annuals and keep the park mowed and weeded."
"The clients and staff are excited about fixing it up and maintaining it for the future," said Randy Gorske, ARC executive director. "It's actually a nice, peaceful place."
ARC maintenance crews cleaned up the park's two benches prior to Friday's groundwork, Gorske said.
The park was originally created with the leftover space from the DEP building and garage, according to Withey.
As staff and capacity in the surrounding buildings decreased over time, she explained, the park was left untended.
While there's no set date for the project's completion, Gorske believes a fresh fix-up will ultimately benefit the city and all agencies involved.
"It's a way for us to give back and engage our individuals in things they make them more responsible in general," he said. "Now we'll actually be able to come out here, sit in the shade and have lunch."

This is a great tool, does what its supposed to, and the loosening shelf is wonderful. It never felt right to be heaving on a newly connected chain just to make it move smoothly after installation, and with this you don't have to.
Four stars only because it seems a bit pricey, but the quality is there.

Comments about Park Tool Park CT-3 Chain Tool:
this is one of those things I'm glad I have, but I'm not sure I would buy again. It's the best chain tool I've ever used, but I'm comparing it to a $2 Rivoli. The long handles with smooth, plastic-coated ends make breaking and reconnecting chains a lot easier. There is a circlip stop on the thread that keeps you from pushing the pin all the way out (wish I had that years ago when I was learning wrenching), and there is a shelf for loosening tight links. would be a great tool that I'd reccomend in a heartbeat, if it where $20.

Lady Mustangs are set to defend their NCS title with a mostly veteran lineup
Published: Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 4:58 p.m.
The St. Vincent High School softball team will defend its North Coast Section Division 5 championship with a team that is young, but veteran. The Lady Mustangs have just two seniors on the team, but the entire starting lineup is comprised of players who either started, or played considerably, on last season's championship team.
About the only things really new about this year's team are coaches Sadie Dolcini and Pete Sikora, who join Henry Sarlatte and head coach Don Jensen. The head coach says they have brought a new way of doing things to the team. "They were great pick ups," he says. "They have brought a whole new energy to the team. It has taken the kids a while to warm up to the way they do things, but thy are beginning to catch on."
Key to St. Vincent's defense of not only its league title but also its NCS championship are veteran pitchers junior Hayley Olson and sophomore Hannah Sarlatte, Olson has been tested under fire, pitching the big games for the Lady Mustangs during last year's successful season. Sarlatte also pitched well as a freshman. They give St. Vincent as good a one-two pitching punch as any Division 5 school in the section. Waiting in the wings and expecting to see time in the circle is freshman Amanda Yarger, an impressive left hander.
A key addition to this year's team is sophomore Mary Cerf, who takes over as catcher. "She has been doing great," Jensen says.
Her ability to catch allows junior Ursyla Baumgarten, one of the best athletes in the North Bay, to move to her preferred position at shortstop where she strengthens an already solid infield. With Baumgarten at shortstop, senior team co-captain Morgan Selmi can slide over and play second base, giving St. Vincent one of the area's best middle infield combinations.
The corner infield positions are in the capable veteran hands of Sarlatte at first bas and senior Hannah Upton, another of the St. Vincent captains, at third base. When Sarlatte pitches, sophomore Alexis Torres will take over at first base.
Torres will generally start in the outfield along with junior Rainey Henry and sophomore Isabel Velez. They form a good defensive trio that can cover a lot of ground,
Sophomore Olivia Sikora will also get playing time in the outfield and could catch if needed.
While Olson and Sarlatte are capable of limiting the run production of most opposing teams, St. Vincent's batting order is strong from top to bottom. The speedy Selmi leads off with the team's best bunter, Sarlatte, batting in the No. 2 spot. Baumgarten, one of the top hitters in the area, bats third, with Upton in the clean-up position and the impressive Torres hitting fifth. There is little drop off in the bottom of the order with Olson, Cerf, Henry and Velez all capable hitters.
As usual, St. Vincent, a Division V team, tuned up for its NCL II season by taking on Division II and III teams, and its 2-6 pre-league record reflects the difficulty of its schedule. "We like to play the big schools. It prepares us for our playoffs," said Jensen.
And those playoffs, making the not-so-difficult assumption that the Lady Mustangs get to that point, will be even more difficult this spring.
"There are some good teams in Division V, and when you win a championship you get a huge target on your back," Jensen observes.

SUTTONS BAY — A state grant will allow Leelanau County officials to demolish two run-down homes along M-22.
The Leelanau County Land Bank Authority will receive a $58,500 blight elimination grant. The grant is part of about $15 million being doled out to various municipal entities by the Michigan Department of Human Services, Michigan Land Bank and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority.
County Planning Director Trudy Galla said the funds will be used to demolish two homes along M-22. One is in Bingham Township and the other is near Peshawbestown. The county land bank already owns the properties.
"Both of these homes ... need to be demolished," she said. "There's issues with both of them."
Some of the money also may eventually be used to deal with a run-down garage in the village of Empire, Galla said.
The Land Bank Authority, formed in 2008, is glad to receive the money.
"This is very helpful," Galla said. "The Land Bank Authority was thrilled when I told them. We're fairly new in the county and don't have a lot of funds to work with."
A land bank is a public authority created to efficiently acquire, hold manage and develop tax foreclosed property and other vacant, blighted, obsolete and abandoned properties.
Once the homes are demolished the Land Bank will sell or transfer ownership of the property.
Benzie County authorities also are looking to address blight issues in their neck of the woods following recent concerns about the run-down "question mark" building in Honor. The building is condemned, and county officials are exploring all their legal options in pursuing demolition of the structure.

Original recipe yields 4 -6 servings
- Blend both cans of soup in medium or large pot, stir in milk and cream. Simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently (so milk and cream do not scorch). When boiling point is nearly reached, turn down heat.
- Flake crab meat and add to soup. Simmer an additional 5 minutes, then add white wine. Add small amount of butter to surface (optional) and sprinkle with chervil or parsley.
- Variations: (1) For a low-fat version, omit butter. Instead of milk and cream, substitute non-fat milk. (2) Instead of canned crab, use fresh or imitation crab. If using fresh crab, be sure to remove all cartilage and shell. (3) Substitute crab with lobster, clams, or mussels (shells or no shells). For an exquisite "seafood bisque," combine all of the above. Yum!

THE BEST!!! Absolutely wonderful. I made it the first time using the full amount of wine that the recipe called for and found it a bit strong but still had a to die for taste. My fiance was hooked. He asked me to make it 3 more times in a 2 week period! I found if you cut the wine in 1/2 it is perfect. So easy and just so good. Serve with some crusty sourdough and eat in front of the fire ... Heaven!
I love this recipe! I have made it for my family several times and my in-laws request it over and over. They love it. I double the amount of crab and add Old Bay seasoning.
I made this bisque for the first course of a formal sit down dinner. Everyone loved it, & people asked for the recipe. I used approx. 2lbs of fresh lump crabmeat instead of canned & also ran the hand/food processor through it. I would use a low sodium soup though, it does have that condensed/sodium soup taste. But, overall very good & I'll make it again.

Crashes prompt closure on I-93
Rescue crews work at the scene of a 17-car pileup south of Exit 23 on Interstate 93 Saturday afternoon. (Dan Seufert/Union Leader Correspondent)
NEW HAMPTON - A chain-reaction accident involving at least a dozen motor vehicles on Interstate 93 north closed a section of the highway near Exit 23 for about two hours Saturday afternoon as snow made the highway treacherous, according to authorities.
A separate six-car collision was reported just to the south, and another crash occurred just to the north of Exit 23, Fire Chief Mike Drake said.
One report said 17 vehicles were involved in the biggest crash, but state police reported the largest accident involved 12 vehicles on both sides of the highway just before 12:30 p.m., with additional accident scenes between Exits 22 and 23 in Sanbornton.
State police also reported other vehicles off the roadway, but didn't say how many total were involved.
No one was seriously hurt. Five people were taken by ambulance to local hospitals and later released, state police said.
"The conditions were treacherous, there was very low visibility," Drake said. "This storm seems worse than the (Thursday) storm that wasn't so bad."
For a period, traffic was rerouted via Route 132. I-93 was reopened about 2:20 p.m.
One driver involved in the biggest crash, who asked not to be identified, said his car was towed away. He stood outside a gas station near Exit 23, waiting for a ride.
"It all happened so fast, and then I got hit and all these cars were all over the road," he said.
He said he was on his way to his home in Madison.

Our already 10th International Conference on the Scientific and Clinical Applications of Magnetic Carriers took place in Dresden, Germany from June 10-14, 2014. It was a wonderful gathering of more than 330 participants from 41 countries, where we discussed all the different aspects of magnetic nanoparticles and microspheres, how they can be made, used and applied in new and ever more fascinating ways!
Check out all the details at
After the meeting, all participants will publish a special issue of magnetic particle related research. Make sure you don't miss the deadline!
Prof. Makoto Nokata has developed a new type of medical micro robot which can be driven around in the abdominal cavity using a magnetic force. The motion of the robot, move environment and the pictures from an internal camera were investigated in vivo using a simple prototype. The friction force between the abdominal wall and organs was measured, while the prototype model could be guided by simple magnetic field control. This internal micro robot might be a useful medical tool.
There are also a couple of movies about this magnetically directed robot on Prof. Nokata's website.
A chip-scale device that both produces and detects a specialized gas used in biomedical analysis and medical imaging has been built and demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The new microfluidic chip produces polarized (or magnetized) xenon gas and then detects even the faintest magnetic signals from the gas.
Polarized xenon, with the atoms' nuclear "spins" aligned like bar magnets in the same direction, can be dissolved in liquids and used to detect the presence of certain molecules. A chemical interaction with target molecules subtly alters the magnetic signal from the xenon; by detecting this change researchers can identify the molecules in a complex mixture. Polarized xenon is also used as a contrast agent to enhance images in experimental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of human lungs, but conventional systems for producing and using this gas can be as big as a car.
Researchers from NIST and three other institutions developed the new chip, which might be used to reduce the size and cost of some instruments that, like MRI, rely on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The chip's sensitive internal detector boosts the response of microfluidic NMR on small samples and eliminates the need for the powerful magnets associated with larger NMR devices such as those used in MRI. The microfabricated chip could be mass produced and integrated easily with existing microfluidic systems.

A new network grant has recently been approved in Europe, the TDCOST Action TD 1402: Multifunctional Nanoparticles for Magnetic Hyperthermia and Indirect Radiation Therapy (RADIOMAG)
The Action aims to bring together and to organise the research outcomes from the different participating network members in a practical way to provide clinicians with the necessary input to trial a novel anti-cancer treatment combining magnetic hyperthermia and radiotherapy, also identifying future research objectives upon appraisal of the obtained results. Feedback between the different working groups here is essential, and is expected that the lifetime of this Action proposal will eventually result in a compendium of best practices for magnetic hyperthermia.
RADIOMAG will generate new and strengthen the existing synergies between technical advances (thermal imaging / MH), new treatment concepts (combined targeting radiosensitisation and magnetic thermotherapy) and biocompatible coating in order to achieve a breakthrough in the clinical application of magnetic hyperthermia. Due to the complexity of this aim, synergies can only be achieved on a longer time frame, by means of workshops, STSMs, joint publications, common Horizon 2020 research proposals and exchange with other COST Actions (e.g. TD1004, TD1205).
The company Nanocomposix published a very good introduction into particle size measurement with dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurement. After analyzing thousands of nanoparticle samples they have assembled a set of guidelines that can be used to determine how to maximize the quality of your DLS data and, more importantly, how to interpret your results. Check it out here. And if you have more questions, contact them at firstname.lastname@example.com or (858) 565-4227 x 2.
The smallest robot worldwide is only a few micrometer long and has been created at ETH Zurich. The robot designed to be steered through the human body forces high design chal-lenges on the researchers in terms of control and power supply. It is inspired by the flagella of the E. coli bacteria, which allows highly efficient locomotion. The metallic replica of the flagella is set in rotation by an external magnetic field, whose direction and intensity can be regulated and adjusted according to the direction the robot should swim. The ETH spin-off Aeon Scientific is currently working on the marketing of the new control technology.
The toxicity of many drugs creates high risk of destroying healthy cells when attempting to treat disease. Scientists at ETH Zurich's Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems (IRIS) have developed a tiny robot about a half-millimeter in diameter that may provide a solution. The robot comprises a star-shaped, bi-layer, soft hydrogel shell that, when closed, forms a sphere and holds tiny magnetic beads inside. When the robot reaches the desired loca-tion, laser irradiation causes the hydrogel to change shape and the capsule to open, delivering the drug. The hy-drogel robot has been tested only in-vitro, but the scientists believe they can miniaturize it enough to test it in ani-mals in the future.
In nature, magnetosomes—membrane-bound magnetic nanocrystals with unprecedented magnetic properties—can be biomineralized by magnetotactic bacteria, e.g., Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense . However, these microbes are difficult to handle. Isabel Kolinko, Youming Zhang, Dirk Schüler et al. now were able to transfer a minimum set of genes for the biosynthetic pathway of biomineralization of magnetic nanoparticles from these fastidious microorganisms to Rhodospirillum rubrum, a gram negative proteobacterium. Biomineralization of highly ordered magnetic nanostructures was then possible and might in the future allow for the sustainable production of tailored magnetic nanostructures in biotechnologically relevant hosts. This represents a step towards the endogenous magnetization of various organisms by synthetic biology.
Check out the details in this interesting Nature Nanotechnology 9, 193-197 (2014) paper. It includes an editorial.

Over the last five years Internet searches for homes have gone through the roof.
I remember when we first created a website, we had a monopoly on local home searches. However, at that time there were very few home buyers who depended on the Internet to find a home. The favorite expression was, "What is a dot com?" Today over 90 percent of home searches begin online.
Recently, Google and the National Association of Realtors joined forces to research how buyers are using the internet. I thought you might be interested in some of the results of this study.
Real estate searches on Google have increased 253 percent over the last four years. At various times during the search for a home, buyers used different online tools to find homes.
At the beginning of their search, they use websites and search engines. In the middle of their search they use mapping to locate homes they wish to drive by. They use mobile devices toward the end of their search. In beginning of their search approximately 69 percent would most likely use area terms such as "Peachtree Corners" or "homes in Peachtree Corners" in their search.
First time home buyers used the Internet to learn about terms such as FHA loans hoping to educate themselves about the process as well as doing home searches.
It is no surprise that age plays a role in the internet shopping. Thirty-one percent of buyers who act based on information from a website are between the ages of 25 and 34. Seventy-five percent of seniors begin their search on the Internet.
As a seller you need to be keenly aware of the impact of the Internet. You want your home to be accessible from a website that comes up on the first page of a Google search. Knowing your Realtor has an area related website and a mobile presence are critical now and in the future when hiring someone to market your home.
At present, few real estate agents have their own App for smartphones or iPads. That is about to change as cost drop and the importance of this marketing tool grows in popularity. Yes I do have an App for that, as the folks at Apple might say. Go to the Apps store and then search on your Smartphone or iPad for "Nancy Minor" without the quotes. Download the free App and search for homes in Metro Atlanta. It is a feature-rich way to access homes for sale. Of course, we can be found in a variety of traditional websites such as TopAtlantaAgent.com
Take a look at this home, new on the market in Neely Farm.
4451 River Bottom Drive, it's priced at $589,000 and listed by Lori Rohde, Keller Williams Realty.
