CARY — There will be fireworks one way or another at WakeMed Soccer Park on Saturday, either to celebrate a first-half NASL title for the Carolina RailHawks or as a consolation prize for fans in defeat.
The RailHawks host the Atlanta Silverbacks with a chance to clinch that championship, which comes with the right to host the season-ending Soccer Bowl championship game in November.
The RailHawks are in first place, the Silverbacks second. Although both teams have one more game left before the summer break, the RailHawks can settle things with a win Saturday.
Its a huge game, the only game now that really matters, said Brian Shriver, who played at North Carolina and is the NASLs leading scorer with eight goals. It comes down to Saturday night, pretty much the championship game for us and for them.
If there wasnt enough pressure already, RailHawks coach Colin Clarke pushed all his chips into the center of the table when he rested several of his starters in Wednesday nights U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal at Real Salt Lake. Rather than put his regular lineup through 90 minutes at altitude against an MLS opponent, some of the RailHawks best players watched from the bench as their team was unable to generate much of an offensive attack and Real Salt Lake cruised to an easy 3-0 win.
It was tough, Shriver said. It was a game you obviously want to play in, play the full 90, contribute where you can. But obviously there is a bigger picture and we knew that. That still doesnt make it any easier especially in that atmosphere, playing against that team, an extremely good team. And they showed it.
The U.S. Open Cup may be flashy, but as a goal its secondary to winning the league. The chance to host the championship game is a far bigger prize than the chance to host a U.S. Open Cup semifinal, with no guarantee the RailHawks full-strength lineup could beat a third MLS team on the road after traveling across the country anyway.
(Financially, hosting Soccer Bowl would probably be more lucrative for the RailHawks than a U.S. Open Cup semifinal would have been, not that such matters figured into Clarkes calculations.)
At the start of the season, this was our goal, our league, Clarke said. It always has been. Thats what were here for. Thats what we get paid for. Open Cup is a wonderful run, but its gone now. This team, this club, this community, theyre crying out for a championship. We have a chance to do that tomorrow, but its not going to be easy.
That the RailHawks are in this position at all is impressive. They have been without three key players forward Nick Addlery and midfielders Nick Zimmerman and Breiner Ortiz all season because of injuries, and a handful of other players are out now, including midfielder Tiyi Shipalane and defender Julius James, both of whom have been essential to the teams success this season.
Yet they have turned any number of losses and draws into wins this season with impossibly late goals Shriver scored twice in the final four minutes last Saturday to turn what looked like a 2-1 loss into a 3-2 win against Minnesota and complemented their league success with a cup run that included dramatic home wins against MLS teams the LA Galaxy and Chivas USA.
We started out wanting to better our Open Cup run from last year, Shriver said. We did that. With regard to the season, we wanted to be in contention coming into the last few games and weve given ourselves all the opportunity to win it. Its all in our hands. Thats what we wanted.

We hand select bamboo from southern China, edges from Germany, bases from France, adhesives from the US, high tech composites from Germany, topsheets from Austria and plastics from Japan to create the most fun and versatile skis available.
Why we do it
More than just our name, liberty is the reason we make skis and what we seek in the mountains. Snow is where we find freedom. If you find a better job, let us know.
Where we are
The location of Liberty HQ high in the Colorado Rockies affords us the chance to test our skis in a wide variety of conditions over a long season. With access to an incredible diversity of terrain, from world-class parks to massive backcountry lines and everything in between, our designs flow directly from our surroundings. Liberty makes versatile, light and tough skis that work in powder, on hardpack, slung on a backpack for a long hike, in the park, setup for tele turns, or just our ripping around your local area.
Who we are
Liberty is a collection riders from every imaginable background. We have powder whores, racers, former snowboarders, tele purists, park rats, and a bunch of people who just go ski.

Three-time Emmy Award winning anchor will give lecture on February 7
Friday, January 18, 2013
During her four-decade career, Simpson was the first African-American woman to anchor a local newscast in Chicago, serve as a national network television correspondent, and anchor a national network newscast - ABC's World News Tonight. She was also the first woman or minority to moderate a presidential debate.
Simpson relates her experiences in her memoir, NewsLady, in which she recounts how she endured and conquered sex discrimination and racial prejudice to reach the top ranks of her profession. Along the way she covered some of the most important news events of the time – walking alongside Martin Luther King, Jr. as he marched, and helping anchor live ABC News coverage of Nelson Mandela's release from his 27-year imprisonment.
Simpson retired from ABC News in 2006 to become Leader-in-Residence at Emerson College's School of Communication in Boston, where she teaches courses in public affairs reporting, political communication, broadcast journalism, and serves as writing coach for Journalism students.
Free and open to the public, Simpson's lecture for 5:30pm in the 2nd Floor Amphitheater of University Hall, followed by a reception and book signing at 6:30pm.
This event is sponsored by the University Diversity Council at Lesley University, whose mission is to help all members of the Lesley community find common ground, while providing opportunities to value and support diversity-related efforts at the University and in the community.

Devin Golden
At 15 years old, Dalton's Ethan Young already has the experience of traveling around the country to compete in three national-level meets.
He made the third trip his best one yet.
The Dalton High School sophomore spent part of last week in Irvine, Calif., at the USA Swimming Speedo Summer Junior National Championships. While representing the Car-pet Capital Aquatics Club (CCAC) Makos, he went against other 18-and-younger swimmers from around the nation in the 100-meter backstroke, 200 backstroke and 100 butterfly.
His best performances came in the two backstroke events — where he qualified for the finals and 2016 Summer Olympics Trials in each, and earned a medal for a seventh-place finish in the 100 backstroke with a final swim of 57.61 seconds. In the 200 backstroke, he finished 24th with a final swim of 2:06.38.
Young was the youngest swimmer in the 100 backstroke "A" final for the fastest swimmers but said he wasn't nervous about going against older, more experienced opponents.
"Not at all," Young said. "I was more pumped and excited than anything. I think the time to get nervous would be in the preliminary round because you have to make that final heat."
He also avoided anxiety because of his previous national-level experience. At last summer's junior national championships in Indianapolis, Young finished 22nd in the 200 backstroke. He also competed in the 100 backstroke, but did not make the finals, whereas fellow CCAC swimmer Taylor Dale — a 2013 Dalton High School graduate who will begin his college swimming career at Georgia this school year — won the 100 backstroke championship with a time of 55.98 seconds.
Young also competed in last December's winter junior national championships in Knoxville, Tenn. He finished 16th in the 100-yard backstroke (50.10) but didn't qualify for the finals after swimming the preliminaries in the 100 and 200 butterfly and 200 backstroke.
"This time around it was a whole lot more relaxing, I'd say," Young said. "Having those first two junior nationals under my belt, it helped me take it in a lot better.
"I think the biggest thing to take away from this is motivation."
Charles Todd, the head coach for both the CCAC and Dalton High's swimming and diving program, was there to see his pupil shine.
"There were a row of college coaches. After the meet, they talked to me," Todd said. "They can't recruit him (per NCAA rules) but they came up and told me, 'Nice swim. We have him on our radar.' So that helps motivate him to come back and begin training hard for next year. He can do this again as a 16-, 17- and 18-year-old. He can go to three more Junior Nationals and climb up that notch."
To qualify for the finals each night at the national meet, swimmers had to be among the top 24 during preliminaries during the meet's day session. The fastest eight advanced to the "A" final, the next eight made the "B" final and the remaining eight went into the "C" final. Swimmers could change their ultimate place within their group during the finals, but go no higher or lower than those eight — for instance, a swimmer could enter the "C" final with the 24th-fastest time but finish as high as 17th.
Last week, Young's preliminary swim in the 100 backstroke (57.28) was seventh best, good enough for the A" final. In the 200 backstroke preliminary, Young had the 19th-best time of 2:04.75, qualifying him for the "C" final, and it was another Olympics Trial qualifier. He missed the finals in the 100 butterfly.
"He had a real strong performance on the preliminaries," Todd said. "He ended up getting two Olympic Trial cuts. At night, his times were a little slower. That was still his fastest meet to date."
However, it could've been better, Todd said.
"This was an outdoor pool," he said. "In Indianapolis, it was an indoor pool. For backstrokers, it's a lot easier to find something on the ceiling to line yourself up like a bar or ceiling line. In Irvine, we swam at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. and the only thing you could line yourself up with is pretty blue skies and sunshine."
Young is now looking to the 2013-2014 high school season. Dalton won the Class A-5A state title last winter, and without Dale back this season, Young and senior Taylor Mathis will be the two biggest names returning as the Catamounts aim for a repeat performance.
"I think this really helps me get motivated and look forward to next season," Young said.

text: Ginger Island offers spectacular panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and Sir Francis Drake Channel. From it's hill tops one can view approximately fifteen of the other islands found in the British Virgin Islands. Situated between Virgin Gorda and Cooper Island, south of Tortola and Beef Island, it has easy access to airport or ferry connections. The island has a large heart shaped bay located on the south side. Currently only a few experienced sailors will attempt to enter the bay and enjoy it as a private retreat. This is of great advantage to any developer who wishes to maintain client privacy and seclusion. Underwater dredging and blasting would be required to make the access easier for an increase of boat traffic. A suggested scope of development could be a private resort similar to those found on Peter, Necker or Guana Islands. Phenomenal dive sites and spectacular snorkeling surround the island.

Class: 49erPosition: SkipperBirthdate: July 23, 1974Birthplace: Westerly, R.I.Hometown: Beverly, Mass.High School: Torrey Pines High School College: Boston University (Graduated 1997)US Sailing Team Alphagraphics: 2001-04, 2006-08Member of: Southwestern Yacht ClubOccupation: Mechanical Engineer / ConsultantSailing Since Age: 9
49er skipper Tim Wadlow returns in 2008 for his second Olympic regatta. Onboard his 49er will be new crew Chris Rast, a veteran who has skippered two Olympic regattas and coached one. While the recipe of personalities will be different onboard, Wadlow still considers the 2004 Games the foundation of a longer experiment.
"Every campaign is different," says Wadlow, "but I think your first Olympics is an eye-opening experience...Coming back the second time, there are a lot of things I'll do differently for a better finish. We were proud of our fifth-place last time, so the motivation for this campaign is to better that finish."
An engineer by training, Wadlow takes an analytical approach to something as mythical as Olympic gold - but that approach is what he considers his edge. "I am a pretty methodical person, so as far as preparation and training goes I take a logical, methodical, disciplined approach toward achieving a goal."
For the next Olympic Games, that approach is targeted at the cycle of an Olympian's life - the ability to time training and talent to peak at the right moment.
"There are a lot of details around equipment and fitness and mental preparation, to peak at the right time," says Wadlow. "That is one of the big challenges of the whole Olympic cycle...I've learned a lot about how to peak for those big events, how to have your equipment and your fitness and your preparation and your technique all come together to have the best possible result."
Wadlow and Rast's timing was right for the Trials - they won the 49er berth by nine points after 24 races. They also took a fifth at the 49er Worlds in Australia in January 2008.
When he has time off from Olympic training, Wadlow heads to the water to go team racing. A three-time collegiate All-American, he admits that the fast-paced, tactical game of team racing is a pressure cooker, "But it's fun," says Wadlow. "I like the challenge, plus I get to sail with my wife and good friends."
Wadlow stepped into a 49er for the first time in 1998; a few months later, he was on the starting line of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for the 2000 Games. His goal, he says, was to gain experience in this challenging craft. "It's a humbling boat," Wadlow says of the 49er. "When you start out, you spend a lot of time upside down, and the good guys who know how to sail them are legs ahead."
Wadlow is now one of the masters in this class, and he's spent more time in the 49er in the past four years than in any other boat. Based on his methodical planning for the Games, he and Rast are pacing themselves to reach a peak performance again next August - as one of the top 49er teams at the 2008 Olympic Games.

nanoHUB-U: Fundamentals of Atomic Force Microscopy, Part 1: Fundamental Aspects of AFM
A free two-part series of online courses covering the principles and practice of atomic force microscopy.
Brought to you by:
|Self Paced
About the Instructor
Ron Reifenberger
Purdue University
Ron Reifenberger is currently a professor of Physics at Purdue University and a member of Purdue's Center for Sensing Science and Technology. He received his undergraduate degree in Physics from John Carroll University in 1970 and his PhD in Physics from the University of Chicago in 1976. He joined the Physics faculty at Purdue in 1978 following a two-year post-doctoral appointment in the Physics Department at the University of Toronto. Upon joining the faculty at Purdue, Reifenberger initiated a program to measure photo-induced field emitted electrons from a variety of metals. Since 1986, Reifenberger's scanning probe group has been active in furthering inter-disciplinary nanoscale research at Purdue by establishing collaborations with faculty throughout campus. His group has focused on research problems that emphasize the role of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) as one of the key enablers of nanotechnology. His current research is focused on non-linear dynamics of SPM cantilevers, micro patterning of substrates for the rapid detection of targeted bacteria, and fundamental measurements related to current flow in molecules, carbon nanotubes and Au nanocluster networks. This work is currently supported by grants from ARO, NSF, DOE, NASA and NAVSEA and has resulted in ~130 refereed publications and three US patents. Reifenberger has received the Distinguished Alumni Award from John Carroll University in 1992, is on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, and has been a Conference Co-organizer of the European Trends in Nanotechnology 2001 and Trends in Nanotechnology 2002 Conferences. He recently participated in the international APEC Foresight Committee entitled Nanotechnology, The Technology for the 21st Century.
A free two-part series of online courses covering the principles and practice of atomic force microscopy
Professors Arvind Raman and Ron Reifenberger have developed two web-based courses in response to enthusiastic feedback received for video lectures posted on nanoHUB.org that discussed all aspects of scanning probe microscopy (SPM). The original video lectures have attracted over 7,000 viewers worldwide. The course content has been refined and condensed from the original full-semester course offered at Purdue University beginning in 2009 into two, five-week online courses. The courses develop a unified framework for understanding the multifaceted aspects of atomic force microscopy.
The course material of Fundamentals of Atomic Force Microscopy, Part 1: Fundamental Aspects of AFM is available as a free self-paced class taken online.
Scientific Overview Video
Course Objectives
The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a key enabler of nanotechnology, and a proper understanding of how this instrument operates requires a broad-based background in many disciplines. Few users of AFM have the opportunity or resources to rapidly acquire the interdisciplinary knowledge that allows an intelligent operation of this instrument. This focused, in-depth course solves this problem by presenting a unified discussion of the fundamentals of atomic force microscopy. By registering for this course, students will be exposed to the knowledge base required to understand how an AFM operates.
Fundamentals of Atomic Force Microscopy, Part 1: Fundamental Aspects of AFM is designed to develop many key concepts – both theoretical and experimental – which allow a better understanding of the principles underlying the AFM.
Who Should Take the Courses
As the use of AFM expands, there must be a greater understanding of AFM techniques at all levels to better appreciate how AFM can be used for any particular application. Those requiring more than an entry-level understanding of AFM might include:
- Graduate students beginning a research topic involving AFM
- Continuing-education professionals
- Scientists and engineers involved in commercial or industrial R&D
The online course is intended to be broadly accessible to beginning graduate students in any branch of science or engineering.
Fundamentals of Atomic Force Microscopy, Part 1: Fundamental Aspects of AFM requires a basic familiarity with topics usually covered in a two-semester college course in introductory physics. Selected topics from upper-division undergraduate courses in electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum will be reviewed when required. A working knowledge of both integral and differential calculus is assumed. A basic understanding of electronic circuit concepts will be helpful.

This is post 2 of 9 in the Tour of Cali 2011 series
Sarah is on-location in California for the 2011 Amgen Tour of California, the largest cycling race in the United States. Unfortunately, Stage 1 of the Tour was cancelled due to the snow and icy conditions in Lake Tahoe, but that didn't stop Sarah and team from catching up with attendees to see how they use technology to keep up with the latest weather.
Throughout the week, we'll have exclusive videos from each of the eight stages of the Tour of California, including a Q&A session with a cycling pro, fan interviews, and more. We'll also be hosting a daily contest at http://www.Facebook.com/RadioShack with awesome prizes, including an HTC Inspire 4G in red and a Motorola Xoom.
There is a new contest every day, with a Virtual Cyclist that fans will need to cheer on by tweeting @RadioShack with #BackTheShack and a few words of encouragement. Make sure you let your friends know, because the daily prize won't be unlocked until the Virtual Cyclist reaches the end of the stage – the more tweets you send, the faster he'll move. Once the prize is unlocked, every person who tweeted is automatically entered to win the prize for that day.
You can get all the details at http://www.Facebook.com/RadioShack, so head over there now. You can also follow us on Twitter at @RadioShack to keep up with all the awesome #BackTheShack tweets throughout the week.

The Anderson University Town and Gown association recently honored Ms. Mona Marjorie Morrison Hoffman with the 2006 Wanda Savage award. Hoffman received the Wanda Savage award in honor of the longtime member who died in November 1998. Wanda's husband, Russell, desired to find a way to remember his wife and established an annual award in her honor.Mona Marjorie Morrison Hoffman, daughter of President Emeritus John Morrison, graduated from Anderson University in 1940. Following graduation, Mona married fellow AU alum Art Hoffman. Eventually, Art and Mona moved to New York City, where they served as youth director and choir director at the Bronx Missionary Church. While raising their two children, they moved between Chicago and North Manchester, Ind., before living in Germany for four years. They had a third child there and began singing as a family with the older two.
Eventually, the Hoffman's returned to Anderson and Pendleton. Art taught at IUPUI and Mona taught elementary music and played piano for community events. They continued to sing as a family for about ten years, becoming known as the "Happy Hoffs." They joined Park Place Church of God, the site of Art and Mona's wedding, and Mona continues to occasionally sing in the choir today. They sent their three children and a granddaughter to Anderson University, watching the institution's growth with pride. They continue to support the university and its leadership.
Anderson University is a private, four-year, Christian liberal arts institution of approximately 2,800 undergraduate and graduate students. Established in 1917 by the Church of God, the university offers more than 60 undergraduate majors and graduate programs in business, education, music, nursing and theology.

The Haverhill High athletic program had a year to remember in 2011-12, one that the players and fans will remember for years to come.
Athletic Director Tom O'Brien gives you a roundup of the many wins and honors earned by Haverhill High athletes, teams and coaches in his final "Hillie Huddle" column of the season on today's Sports page.
It's quite a scorecard.
For example:
Seventeen of 25 individual or team programs saw post-season action. That's almost 70 percent.
The football team ended a 32-game losing streak, while the baseball team turned a losing record into a winning one.
Wrestling made a comeback as a varsity sport.
The girls cross-country team and the boys volleyball team were undefeated in the regular season.
The list runs on and on, and Hillie athletes deserve cheers and congratulations for what they achieved this year.
But it's also worth noting — and O'Brien does — that these student athletes were put in a position to win by the support they received from school and athletic officials and the community at large.
Haverhill made a commitment to turn around its sports program and backed it up with a financial investment. It paid off.
Hillies played football on a new turf field in the rebuilt and renamed Trinity Stadium and basketball on a resurfaced gym floor.
Trinity EMS ambulance service, Converse and Ernie DiBurro were among the benefactors that made Hillie athletic facilities shine.
And, just as important, the number of athletes competing rose significantly this year — by more than 10 percent.
It's no coincidence that sports fees were cut to their lowest level in a decade and are due to drop again next fall.
The welcome comeback of Haverhill High sports is something to enjoy, something to celebrate and something to take pride in.

Comments about Jos. A. Bank Natural Stretch 2-Button Poplin Suit- Sizes 52-56:
The suit was worth the price. On off-the-rack suit for a fair price. However, I tried to contact customer service about not getting my free shipping coupon code accepted by the computer, and I didn't get an answer. THREE times I contacted customer service. Zero replies. Even a reply that the code wasn't valid with the sale, or some such, would have been better than no reply at all . .Unless customer service improves, I can't recooment Jos. A. Bank . . .
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

NJ Spotlight has created an interactive map using the recently released 2011 Uniform Crime Report that plots the total crime rate per 1,000 people for seven index crimes (four violent -- murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault -- and three non-violent -- burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft).
As required by statute, all law enforcement agencies in the state submit monthly and annual summary crime reports to the Uniform Crime Reporting Program, under the NJ State Police.
Information about 2012 will be released in December 2013.
Stafford Township
Stafford Township's total crime index saw a slight uptick from 422 in 2010 to 486 in 2011. Although instances of violent crime fell from 15 in 2010 to 12 in 2011, nonviolent crime increased slightly from 407 in 2010 to 474 in 2011.
See page 170 of the 2011 Uniform Crime Report for more details about Stafford Township.
Barnegat Township
Barnegat Township's total crime index dropped from 277 in 2010 to 247 in 2011. Violent crime also dropped slightly, from 33 in 2010 to 30 in 2011, as did nonviolent crime, dropping from 244 to 217.
For more information about Barnegat's 2011 Uniform Crime Report, see page 150 of the 2011 Uniform Crime Report.
New Jersey
Crime in New Jersey rose by 3 percent in 2011, with the increase attributed to a 3 percent jump in non-violent crimes.
There were 27, 173 violent crimes reported in 2011, a decrease of less than one half of one percent compared to the violent crimes of 2010. Nationwide, violent crime decreased by 4 percent.
The number of burglaries across the state jumped by 11 percent, to a high not seen since 2003. Read more about the state Uniform Crime Report.

Get a comprehensive look at the epic history of England from the time of its most legendary warrior to the reign of one of its most influential royal families with this two-course set.
First, explore the remarkable story of a tumultuous thousand-year period in British history. Delivered by award-winning Professor Jennifer Paxton, The Story of Medieval England: From King Arthur to the Tudor Conquest is a tour de force that shows how—in the midst of war and the struggle to balance royal power with the rights of the governed—medieval Britain laid the foundation for much of what we know today. Richly detailed, these 36 lectures are essential to a complete understanding of the modern Western world.
Then, Oxford-trained historian and Professor Robert Bucholz presents a sweeping, 48-lecture course on one of the most intriguing times in British—and modern—history. The History of England from the Tudors to the Stuarts details the changing social, economic, religious, and political structures that unfolded while the Tudor family and the Stuart family established their iconic monarchies. Learn the facts behind dramatic stories, including Henry VIII and his wives, Queen Anne's War and the monarch's immense popularity, the rise of Puritanism, and the blossoming of Elizabethan and Jacobean culture in art and literature.

Calling prescription drug abuse an urgent public health problem, California Atty. Gen. Kamala D. Harris is pushing lawmakers to fund an effort to identify physicians who recklessly prescribe addictive medications.
Harris said in an interview that she wanted to use a state database of prescriptions, known as CURES, to draw a bead on doctors who abuse their prescribing powers, a controversial step discussed for years but never adopted.

By Jerry Sullivan
Sunday's loss to the Bengals didn't do much for the Buffalo Bills' defensive ranking. By allowing 483 yards to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Bills dropped into a tie for 26th in the NFL with an average yield of 395.0 yards. That ties them Washington, which managed to outgain Dallas by two-to-one Sunday in a 31-16 loss.
The Bills are currently 28th in the league against the run, giving up 124.2 yards a contest. That's actually a lot better than a year ago, when they allowed 145.8 yards a game on the ground and finished 31st on the season.
Look a little closer and it seems even better. The Bills are holding opponents to 3.9 yards a rush, which is 14th in the NFL. A year ago, they allowed 5 yards a carry, so the average rush against has gone down by a little more than a yard. The overall numbers are skewed by the fact that the offense plays at a swift pace and the defense is on the field for more plays.
The pass defense has actually been a bigger problem -- as was evident in the loss to the Bengals. The Bills are 22nd in passing yards against, but they're giving up too many big plays. The average per catch by their opponents is a hefty 13.3 yards. Only two teams have allowed a larger average per catch through six weeks -- the Ravens at 13.8 and the Broncos at 14.1.
The Bills have given up 24 pass plays of 20 yards or more, tied for 28th in the league. They allowed four such passing plays to Cincinnati. Chicago has allowed 29 pass plays of 20 or more. Denver has given up far and away the most 20-plus passes with 35.
That's why I have a hard time believing the Broncos can go unbeaten.

CatchPoint Cyclic-GMP Fluorescent Assay Kit
Measures cGMP levels via a competitive immunoassay format offering high sensitivity and flexible readout times
The second messenger cyclic GMP (cGMP) modulates cellular processes, including smooth muscle relaxation, kidney function, and inflammation, by activating effectors such as protein kinases, cGMP-dependent phosphodiesterases, and cGMP-gated ion channels.
The CatchPoint® Cyclic-GMP Fluorescent Assay Kit's high-affinity reagents are optimized for sensitivity and precision in applications where cGMP levels are low. A single wash step removes unbound material prior to the development step, so the assay is very resistant to interference from colored or fluorescent test compounds. The proprietary Stoplight Red substrate is used to generate a stable fluorescent readout, allowing the assay to be read in as little as 10 minutes or up to 24 hours after substrate addition.
Benefits of the CatchPoint Cyclic-GMP Fluorescent Assay Kit
- High affinity reagents are optimized for sensitivity when cGMP levels are low, ensuring results when other assays fail
- Robust format resists interference from colored or fluorescent compounds, improving reliability of results
- Rapid signal development (< 10 min) and no termination step give users a flexible read time that is compatible with automation and high-throughput screening
- Quantitative method allows accurate determination of cGMP in samples

Podcast 295: Paul Johnson
Last week, we here at XLR8R kicked off a month-long series of special podcasts to commemorate our 20 years of existence. Obviously, a lot of music has come and gone in the last two decades, so we figured the best way to celebrate our own little milestone would be to highlight a few of the artists whose output has helped define the era. This week, we've enlisted Chicago house veteran Paul Johnson, a producer and DJ with an impressive resume that dates back even further than our own. Read more »

With a more spacious venue, a growing roster of nominees and a broader selection process, a dozen former stars from several sports were inducted Saturday into the Limestone County Sports Hall of Fame.
The hall of fame's board of directors opted to stage this year's ceremony at the Limestone County Event Center, which opened nearly three years ago. Fifty tables dotted the center Saturday, and at least 275 people tucked into a catered dinner from Mooresville's Limestone Bay Trading Company.
The LCSHOF, which now has 87 members, inducted its first class in 2003. The first two classes had a dozen apiece but most of the classes have six to eight inductees. Board members said they decided to select one nominee from each of the eight high school communities within the county, plus four at-large selections.
As in previous years, the nominees were required to receive at least 60 percent of the vote by the board's 13 members. The board, which selected Clements senior Cynetria Malone and Elkmont senior Brittney Carter as this year's scholarship recipients, includes Greg Young, John Witt, Trisha Black, Martha Jo Leonard, Barry DeVine, Mike Davis, Jeff Hodges, Kenneth Leweter, Ernest Campbell Jr., Barry Hamilton, Jimmy Gill, John Wayne King and Jackie Greenhaw.
This year's class has two posthumous members — Paul "Jack" Rose Sr., a four-sport star at Clements who died at age 63 in August, and Hadley "H.B." Provience, a multi-sport Trinity High School coach described as "legendary" by one of his former players, retired Army Lt. Col. James L. Walker.
In 22 years of coaching football, basketball and baseball at Trinity, Provience, whose LCSHOF plaque was accepted by his son, Merrill Provience, won more than 455 games and coached 2011 hall of famer Lewis Cogar.
"The history of Trinity High School sports could not be told without mentioning his name," said Merrill, who said he wrote at least eight versions of the steady speech he gave Saturday night to honor his father.
Jack's wife, Sandra Whitworth Rose, accepted his award on behalf of their two children, son-in-law and four grandchildren. She said her husband never sought the limelight but he displayed a natural affinity for sports.
"He didn't play for recognition — he played for the love of the game," Sandra said. "Jack was a true athlete, and I loved watching him … he showed us you can be a true athlete throughout life (in his fight against melanoma cancer)."
This year's inductees also included Kathi Coggin Bailey, Mary Jane Hobbs, R.C. "Brownie" Nelson, Tommy Groce, Cody Sweetland, Russell "Rusty" Brand, Charles "Chuck" Allen, Jo Jo Smith, Jerome Wagnon and Henry White.
For full biographies on each inductee, visit The News Courier sports archives at www.enewscourier.com/archivesearch. For more photos from Saturday's ceremony, go to http://thenewscourier.smugmug.com/Events.

Quality Coordinator
Quality Coordinator Jobs
Quality Coordinator Overview
A quality coordinator is a quality assurance professional who is tasked with ensuring that the products produced by a company are materially free of defects and are manufactured in a way that complies with the company's standards. This professional may lead quality assurance testers or may organize a quality assurance program within the company. Other related positions that the Quality Coordinator may work under include Quality Assurance Technical Coordinator and Quality Assurance Manager.
Quality Coordinator Education Requirements
The role of the quality coordinator is generally important in a manufacturing environment, and because of this, many employers provide a significant amount of on-the-job training to newly hired quality assurance professionals. In some cases, the education requirements may be as minimal as a high school diploma, but some companies will require a two-year or four-year degree. The on-the-job training for a Quality Coordinator or a professional in a related position typically ranges between one month and one year.
Quality Coordinator Job Market
The job market outlook for the Quality Coordinator position or related positions in the quality assurance industry is moderate. Approximate job growth is projected to be 6 percent between 2012 and 2022, and this is slightly lower than average growth in other positions. While this job market outlook is not strong or favorable, those who are trained as a Quality Coordinator within a company may benefit from job security in most cases due to the significant amount of on-the-job training these professionals receive as well as the importance of the position in a manufacturing environment.
Quality Coordinator Salary
A Quality Coordinator is well paid considering the minimal education requirements and skills training required for the position. These quality assurance positions are generally full-time, salaried positions, and the average salary is just under $35,000 per year. However, there is considerable fluctuation in compensation based on employer benefits, the ability to earn overtime pay, the location of the position, the amount of time a professional has been with a company and other related factors.

NASA's Curiosity rover has successfully drilled its first rock on Mars, officials at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced over the weekend.
The drill's use is a Martian landmark -- the first time scientists have drilled into the surface. It's a key moment for for the Mars Science Laboratory mission as well, marking a coming of age of sorts for the rover. Since landing on the Red Planet on Aug. 5, Curiosity has tested each of its instruments, from its many cameras to its laser-zapping instrument called ChemCam, and the drill's use is the grand finale of the show.

OUTSIDE NEW YORK CITY -- Vandals attacked a local high school Monday night, leaving swastikas carved into school-owned vehicles, according to a police report. The vandals also broke several windows and a door.
There are no witnesses or suspects as of Wednesday evening, according to Rye city police Commissioner William Connors. Police responded to the incident around 7 a.m. Tuesday morning, when a Rye High School employee reported the damage. The damage included:
- Broken glass at the side entrance of the auxiliary gym
- Two small windows in the music room smashed by a stone
- All the windows to the classroom trailers on the Milton Road side of the school were smashed with a large stone
- Three school-owned vehicles parked on the other side of the building were vandalized
- Swastikas were drawn on the windshields of the vehicles and one vehicle's windshield was smashed
Detectives Jake Chittenden and John Wood were notified and responded to the scene. The school employee who called the police told officers that on Sunday, someone had removed the Rye High School flag from the school's flagpole and replaced it with a Harrison High School flag.
On Saturday, Harrison police received a report that a Harrison flag had been removed from a resident's property and was later "potentially" found inside of Rye High School, according to Harrison Police Chief Anthony Marraccini.
There is no evidence that Tuesday morning's vandalism was tied to a Rye/Harrison rivalry, however, police noted the rivalry in their report.
Rye City School District posted this announcement on its website on Wednesday, Jan. 23:
Areas of the Rye High School campus were vandalized over the weekend. The portable classroom windows were broken and anti-Semitic symbols were carved into the District trucks. The District contacted the Rye Police immediately upon discovering that this had occurred and the matter is being investigated. The District is appalled at this disturbing act, which is certainly NOT acceptable in or reflective of the Rye community.

Group Counseling
UHCS offers a variety of counseling or psychotherapy groups each semester. Typically a group of students meets once a week with a group facilitator to talk about challenges and issues relevant to the members. UHCS offers groups because we believe the group format is an effective way to address issues common among college students, and can be a powerful setting for growth and change. Either your individual counselor or the group facilitator will recommend group therapy when it is the best way to address your concerns.
Group therapy provides an environment where you can learn from others, and give and receive feedback. By interacting with other members, you become exposed to a variety of different perspectives and learn new ways to address your problems. This gives you an opportunity to try new ways of behaving and learn more about how you interact socially. Most importantly, you will learn that you are not alone in your struggles.
It is common to feel uncertain about participating in group therapy. You might feel anxious about joining and might have difficulty imagining talking to a group of "strangers." Trust and confidentiality are the two most common concerns people have about joining a group. Confidentiality is requested and expected from group members to create a safe and positive environment for growth. As the group evolves you will likely develop a sense of trust in the other members, however, how much and how quickly you talk about yourself depends upon your own comfort level.
Groups Offered for Spring 2014
If you are interested in joining a specific group please call the main UHCS number at (617) 373-2772. Groups require a pre-group meeting with the facilitator to make sure the group meets your needs. If you are interested in receiving group updates by email, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and place "GROUPS" in subject line. Groups are for Northeastern students ONLY.
The list below is a selection of groups that were run during the spring 2014 semester. Check back here and on our Forms page for information on future group offerings.
- Survival Skills for the Overwhelmed - A series of sessions to help students better understand and manage their emotions.
be SMART - A series of sessions for those looking to understand factors that impact motivation and planning, as well as learn skills to set realistic goals and manage time effectively.
Depression and Anxiety - Find support, create personal change, and connect with others within a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental setting.


text: If you work on motorcycles that are not absolutely brand-new, you will run across a bolt or nut that is too damaged to be removed with an ordinary wrench or socket. Recently, bolt-removal tools have been introduced through most of the quality tool outlets. These look something like an ordinary socket, but are made of hardened tool steel and have internal helical flutes. As you turn the tool counterclockwise with a wrench or socket, the flutes bite into the damaged bolt head or nut. To a point, the more you turn the tool, the harder it bites. These specialized tools easily remove bolts and nuts that are too far gone to remove with regular tools. They are compact and reasonably priced, and don't require other specialized tools to work. The downside is sizing: We had to buy two sets to get a range that fits common motorcycle fasteners from 8-19mm. Finding one for a large nut like on an axle may be problematic.

For the first time in the program's 15-year history, the West Limestone girls soccer team has earned a state ranking with an unyielding defense, an unblemished record and a cohesive mentality.
The Wildcats (8-0) broke into the March 24 state poll at No. 7, one spot above Area 13 rival West Morgan and behind fourth-ranked Randolph, which has eliminated West Limestone in the opening round of the Class 1A-4A state playoffs the past two seasons.
"Our players' attitudes are just awesome, and this is a fun group to coach," said first-year West coach Kerry Gowan, who shares coaching responsibilities with Richard Martin. "It's been a good first year, and I think people are starting to take notice with us being undefeated."
Back line
Left back Sarah Easter, middle defenders Laura Easter and Anna Harper Gowan and right back Leahgrace Simmons have not allowed a goal this season, and 5-foot-9-inch goalkeeper Krislynn Berzett has recorded seven straight shutouts.
"I think the strength of our team is our defense. Our regular defense has yet to give up a goal, and Krislynn Berzett has been amazing. She has stopped a lot of shots and come up with a lot of big saves for us," said Kerry Gowan.
The defensive unit's best showing this season was a 1-0 victory on March 21 against East Limestone, a tough 5A opponent and a perennial playoff team. A goal by West left striker Allison Martin and Berzett's 16 saves — including a point-blank stop in the closing minutes — sealed the Wildcats' second all-time win against the Indians.

What do you do when a black bear ventures into your yard to dine on some leftovers in your trash can? What if you spot a beaver carrying away trees at a local park? What should you do when a skunk strolls across your path?
Few people know the answers to these questions, but Jim Parkhurst, associate professor of wildlife in the College of Natural Resources and Environment, is looking to change that.
As incidents of human-wildlife interaction in Virginia continue to increase, such as bear encounters in Roanoke County and beaver vandalism at Radford's Bisset Park, Parkhurst and others are trying to better inform the public by establishing the Virginia Center for Human-Wildlife Conflict Resolution.
"New problems continue to arise that we have never had to deal with before due to rapid residential and commercial development and the ever-increasing human population," Parkhurst said.
As people encounter wildlife more and more frequently, it's essential that they understand their responsibilities and the legal ways to approach these situations, he said. "There's a lot of information out on the Web about all this, but it's scattered and much of it is incorrect or not compatible with Virginia's laws and regulations. It was our goal to create a single, consistent message about what to do and who to contact, and serve as a one-stop shop for people," he said.
Parkhurst's experience makes him ideal for the task. While he fulfills his duties of teaching courses, conducting research, and advising graduate students in the Department of Fish and Wildlife Conservation, he also serves as the only wildlife Extension specialist in the state. "My main goal is to get local governments to be more proactive in understanding and responding to wildlife issues that affect their communities," he said.
While on the faculty of the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Parkhurst administered the Northern New England Animal Damage Control Program, a multistate cooperative created to resolve human-wildlife conflicts throughout that region.
The opportunity to work at Virginia Tech and Virginia Cooperative Extension drew him to Blacksburg in 1993. Here, he found that residents didn't receive a consistent response to their wildlife concerns and often were confused about the subject. "The general public in the Mid-Atlantic region seemed to be eight to 10 years behind the Northeast in terms of their understanding of human-wildlife conflicts," he said.
Parkhurst took the initiative and founded the Virginia Center for Human-Wildlife Conflict Resolution in 2004. He worked with Virginia Cooperative Extension and the Conservation Management Institute, a research institute in the College of Natural Resources and Environment, to provide a resource for local government and residents alike. "This conflict resolution organization is designed to help state residents and municipal leaders identify potential means of assistance when confronted with problematic wild animal concerns," Parkhurst said.
Parkhurst hasn't stopped working to advance the issue, either. He is investigating the feasibility of creating a statewide, toll-free information hotline, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, modeled after a similar unit in Maryland.
"The demand is there, but the resources don't exist," Parkhurst said. "We've looked at this probably half a dozen times in the last 12 years. I don't think the need or desire for the service has diminished, we just haven't been able to find a way to pay for it yet."
Parkhurst said he is pleased with the progress that has been made in the area. "Within Extension, this has been a priority, and we've gotten a lot of help from the USDA and even the private sector," he said. "There's certainly been a lot going on, and now we're just looking to consolidate our efforts."
The Virginia Center for Human-Wildlife Conflict Resolution uses resources provided by the Conservation Management Institute, a research institute in the College of Natural Resources of Environment, and Virginia Cooperative Extension.
The center works with an advisory board with representatives from state and federal agencies, private organizations, and local government institutions. The center's website provides answers to general and specific concerns about a number of wildlife species found in Virginia, including the following:
Jim Parkhurst talks with University Relations' Paul Lancaster about coyote and farmer interactions.
The majority of Associate Professor Jim Parkhurst's work as a wildlife specialist for Virginia Cooperative Extension deals with off-campus issues. He works closely with local governments, private agencies, and residents to resolve and address wildlife concerns.
Extension has produced a number of publications on wildlife issues, a number of which have been written by Parkhurst.

U.S. News Rankings
|Ranking score and category
Avila University is a private institution that was founded in 1916. It has a suburban setting and the campus size is 48 acres. It utilizes a semester-based academic calendar. Avila University's ranking in the 2014 edition of Best Colleges is Regional Universities (Midwest), 102. Its tuition and fees are $23,950 (2012-13).
|School mission and unique qualities (as provided by the school):
Avila's path began in 1650 in LePuy, France. Guided by a belief in the dignity of every individual, the original six Sisters of Saint Joseph had the courage to respond to the needs of others around them. They nursed the sick and helped the homeless. With this commitment to one's neighbors, the Sisters of Saint Joseph founded Avila in 1916 as the College of St. Teresa. When the college expanded to a larger campus in 1963, its name was changed to Avila to honor St. Teresa of Avila. In 2002, Avila College became Avila University, a name reflecting its growth and development as an institution of higher education. Avila University's commitment to excellence, to service of students and the community, to quality education of spirit, mind and body, and to the growth of the whole person is deeply rooted in its Catholic heritage and in the lives and beliefs of the founding Sisters. Today, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet sponsor Avila and serve as constant reminders of the University's mission. Avila's 50-acre campus is located on the historical Santa Fe Trail in beautiful south Kansas City, Missouri. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, members of the Avila community not only enjoy the benefits of its suburban location, but also its easy access to Kansas City highlights. Known for its jazz district and world-famous barbecue, Kansas City is home to professional sports teams, premier shopping districts, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, and the American Royal. The City of Fountains, as Kansas City is known, is a major Midwest travel destination.

text: From the May 1936 issue of Motorcyclist Magazine. Showing the new model Servi-Cycle, manufactured by the Simplex Manufacturing Corp. of New Orleans. The new lightweight is sturdy and suitable for both pleasure and commercial use Showing the new model Servi-Cycle, manufactured by the Simplex Manufacturing Corp. of New The other day there appeared in Los Angeles, just as it did in other cities over the country, an advance copy of a much discussed machine. Although the machine has not been on the market more than a year it has been discussed for the past several years. Everyone has talked pro and con about lightweights. Thus the new machine, the Servi-Cycle, was what might be termed the answer to all that discussion. Anxious to see what the answer was like we rode it. The surprise from riding the Servi- Cycle is as great as the surprise one gets upon first seeing it. The machine has a distinctly flashy appearance despite its size, and it performs like a good soldier. Sitting in the saddle the rider can give one shove forward and be under way. A throttle control in the right grip and a button convenient to the left grip give neat control for turning corners or angling through traffic. Top speed is 30 to 35 miles per hour. Used as we are to gunning large mounts and then waiting at signals we fail to realize how much distance can be accomplished at a consistent 30. Pedal rests supplant footboards; a heel-operated rear brake together with a hand-controlled front brake give the rider complete mastery of his mount. One ride is enough to show a motorcycle man that the machine has a thousand possibilities, and it does not conflict in any way with the existing setup on big machines. In fact, the Servi-Cycle should be the means of winning a lot of new blood to motorcycling. We rode all over one end of town and found our steed to be both docile and fiery. In other words it is safe for a child to ride, yet has enough steam to be worthy of commercial use. Let us consider the mechanical specifications. The motor has a displacement of 115 cubic centimeters-a bore of 2 inches and a stroke of 1 5/8 inches. A float type carburetor is utilized and control extended to the right handlebar. Both main bearings are Timken tapered roller bearings and the lower end of the connecting rod is a double row SKF bearing. The piston pin is 3/4 inch. Pistons are aluminum alloy made in a permanent mold. Lubrication is forced feed. Handlebars are reasonably wide and well shaped. Grips are a little larger than normal motorcycle grips. Action on the right grip is easy, and all mechanism is enclosed. It is readily accessible and cables can be replaced without dismantling the grip. A chrome-plated lever on the left bar controls the front brake. An identical lever on the right grip controls the compression release. Cables, which do not require lubrication, are finished in bright black and may be kept clean and good looking. Front forks are wide enough to afford a short turning radius. The frame design (on which patents have been applied for) has double-thickness tubing in the lower loop. The seat-post mast is double, tying upper and lower frame members in rigid juxtaposition and enhancing a general streamline effect. Gasoline passes through a strainer, has a visible sediment bowl and may be shut off at a cutoff cock. Tanks are designed to eliminate all sharp edges and give very pleasing lines. Fenders are made of heavy stock, are wide and deep and carry streamlined flares both front and rear. The saddle has an all-metal base, is padded all over with soft sponge rubber, covered with black glove leather and gives excellent riding comfort and eye appeal. A heavy wide V-belt is employed, having perfect traction and long life without the necessity of taut adjustments. It is an expensive belt of a type that should eliminate old prejudices to this type of drive. On a lightweight it is a very desirable type of drive since it is quiet, smooth and clean. When eventually the drive must be replaced it may be done at a cost of $2.00 to the customer 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | » | View Full Article By Chet Billings Enjoyed this Post?
