Merck Millipore Launches MILLIPLEX® MAP EpiQuant™ Receptor Signaling Pathway Panel
- Luminex®-based approach for profiling total and phosphorylated receptor tyrosine kinases, non-receptor tyrosine kinases, cellular kinases and a phosphotase
- Measure phosphorylation site-specific concentrations of proteins and multiple phosphorylation sites on the same protein in the same assay well
- Simultaneously measure total and phosphoprotein
February 28, 2012, Darmstadt, Germany — Merck Millipore, the Life Science division of Merck KGaA* of Darmstadt, Germany, today launched a MILLIPLEX® MAP panel for assessing the functional states of cells by profiling a range of receptor signaling pathway proteins. The Luminex®-based approach enables the profiling of 26 analytes including total and phosphorylated receptor tyrosine kinases, non-receptor tyrosine kinases, cellular kinases, and a phosphotase with picomolar sensitivities. Users can easily design customized panels by selecting only the analytes of interest.
Site-specific, quantitative measurements with picomolar sensitivity support diverse sample types and many research and drug discovery applications. Compared to traditional detection techniques such as western blots, mass spectrometry analyses, and radioactive phosphorylation assays, the EpiQuant™ Receptor Signaling Pathway panel provides faster results, increased assay throughput and specificity.
"The new MILLIPLEX® MAP EpiQuant™ Receptor Signaling Pathway panel overcomes a number of challenges presented by conventional multiplex approaches," describes Linda Meeh, Ph.D., Director of Marketing for Immunoassays and Multiplexing. "In these approaches, the requirement for native protein conformation can result in complex buffer interactions with phosphoproteins and inter-antibody effects. The EpiQuant™ technology uses antibodies against defined protein sequences to capture peptides resulting from protein linearization and digestion in a single cell lysate sample. This approach enables researchers to measure phosphorylation levels of multiple sites, as well as total protein, simultaneously with absolute quantitation."
The new panel provides highly validated and characterized immunoassay antibodies, all necessary reagents, and optimized protocols.

Publisher's Description
Author Bio
Banning Liebscher and his wife, SeaJay, are on staff at Bethel Church in Redding, California, as the Directors of Jesus Culture, a ministry dedicated to mobilizing a generation to shape culture and transform nations. Bannings passion is to see a generation of revivalists raised up who have encountered the extravagant love of Jesus and have given themselves for worldwide revival. He and his wife have three children, Ellianna, Raya and Lake.
Editorial Reviews
In this day and age, I dont know any informed believer who would say that all is well with the Church in the United States. But what can be done to pull the Church out of its malaise? One of the most practical answers to this vital question comes from my friend Michael Brodeur. As I read Revival Culture, chapter after chapter I saw numerous glimmers of light that together can point us to a bright and shining future. You will love this book and be greatly encouraged as you read it!
C. PETER WAGNER, Vice President, Global Spheres, Inc.
Revival Culture provides important insights to help build the "net" to capture and empower the coming harvest. Michael is a man filled with humility and wisdom. I love how he calls us to live incarnationally as Jesus did, going lower still to meet people where they are. Bannings life is a true reflection of his call for discipleship in the form of "life on life." Bills challenge makes me want to surrender everything again. I gladly recommend Revival Culture, and I pray God uses it to download supernatural strategies and strengthen community bonds to prepare for the coming harvest.
HEIDI BAKER, Founding Director, Iris Global
In this groundbreaking book, Michael takes the wisdom and experience he gained from more than 30 years of ministry in one of the most challenging cities in our nation and translates it into a practical guide that will enable us to reach the lost and bring them into a culture of sustained revival. Michael, along with his co-author, Banning Liebscher, provides a unique perspective and fresh insights into the purposes of God for the coming season. I strongly recommend this book.
DR. JIM GARLOW, Senior Pastor, Skyline Church, Chairman, Renewing American Leadership
We are living in the time of the greatest harvest in the history of the Church! The center of global Christianity has shifted to the southern hemisphere. Revival Culture addresses some of the key issues about this worldwide phenomenon and how it will shape and develop as the harvest expands. Michael Brodeur has written a timely, insightful book for those who dont want to be left behind in what God is doing.
FLOYD MCCLUNG, All Nations, Cape Town, South Africa
Revival Culture explores some of the dynamics that can prepare us for not only the awakening we need but MUST have. Michael and Bill Johnson serve as veterans of the Jesus Movement, and they have time-tested, godly wisdom to share with those inquisitive young disciples who dare to ask how they can prepare the ground for a new visitation of the Holy Spirit. Michaels coauthor, Banning Liebscher, adds insights from todays battlefield of conflicting worldviews that oppose such a visitation and also offers answers based on Gods Word. Until the awakening comes, Revival Culture will get us ready.
DANNY LEHMANN, Hawaii Leader, Youth With A Mission
As culture is ever-changing through the arts and other manifestations of human achievement, so goes the Church. Now is the time to look at history and see the matched conditions and signs manifested in the new culture of todays generation. But we need tools to measure and to match those signs and fit the new thing. Like the men of Issachar who understood timing (see 1 Chron. 12:32), Michael is a genius at reading those signs. If we are going to embrace revival, it will require an entirely different mindset than prior generations. Like a man in the middle, Michaels Revival Culture can help us do the matching and have success.
GARY GOODELL, Founder, Third Day Churches International, Founder, Permission Ministries and Author, Where Would Jesus Lead?
Against all odds, Michael Brodeur pastored a church in a difficult place with many spiritual and logistical difficulties. The first time I met him I was struck not only by his love for the city of San Francisco and its people but also by his obvious hunger for more of God. Having achieved much, he still looked to the horizon for more, preparing mentally and spiritually for what was to come rather than resting in what had been done. In this book, Revival Culture, Michael shares what he has learned over the years about the effect an outpouring of God will have on our world and what the Church can do to prepare to reapand processa great harvest. I highly recommend both Michael Brodeur and this book. They are gifts from God to our generation.
RANDY BOHLENDER, Author, Jesus Killed My Church, Director, the Zoe Foundation

Evans Cooling Systems announces new warranty statement
Using Evans waterless coolants will not affect the manufacturer's warranty.
Evans Cooling Systems, the developer of the world's only waterless engine coolant, has released its new Limited Warranty Statement. Evans is confident in its products and stands behind every gallon of coolant it sells. Using Evans waterless coolants will not affect the manufacturer's warranty.
The Warranty is as follows:
Limited Warranty
If you install Evans Waterless Coolants in accordance with the appropriate instructions, and engine damage occurs, which has been documented and verified by industry accepted analytical testing to be the fault of Evans products, Evans Cooling Systems will pay for the repairs as outlined in its Product Liability Policy.
If engine damage occurs that should be covered by the manufacturer's warranty, and if your warranty coverage is denied on the basis of having used Evans Waterless Coolants, and the manufacturer is not found liable under the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act, Evans Cooling Systems will pay for the declined warranty repairs as outlined above.
This demonstrates the confidence Evans has in its patented waterless engine coolants, and provides assurance to its customers that Evans stands behind its products.
"We've been asked repeatedly if our coolant voids the manufacturer's warranty and we want to alleviate those concerns once and for all" said Ed Coyle, Chief Operations Officer. "It was time to answer this question publicly, and avoid the perceived barrier to achieving the benefits of our waterless coolant."
The benefits of using Evans waterless coolants include increased fuel economy, corrosion elimination, lower pressure, and reduced toxicity. A lifetime coolant, Evans is a safer alternative for the environment.

Maliko Water Sports a 501C3 non-profit organization and Talia Gangini
are teaming up to raise money for a Scholarship fund for Children under the
age of 18, who would normally not be able to afford to take art classes at the
Hui No'eau.
At the age of 14 Talia started taking jewelry classes at the Hui No'eau which
enabled her to pursue her Love of Jewelry Design and take her small business to
the next level. In the same summer Talia started classes at the Hui No'eau, she
also was the youngest girl to paddle in the Molokai to Oahu Championships
stock paddle board team her and her team mate finished in first place. She has
now paddled across the Kaiwi Channel seven times as well as the Pailolo
Channel from Maui to Molokai. In a variety of crafts including Traditional
Paddle Board, OC-1 Canoe, Stand Up Paddle & Six Man Canoe.
In 2009 at the age of 16 a necklace, from her jewelry line Pashey Designz,
was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition and continues
to sell in boutiques all over Hawaii and California.
Combining her passion of Ocean Sports and Creative arts, Talia has
decided to use her water sports to raise money for the furthering of creative arts,
to give children who don't have the opportunity to explore there creative side.
She will be paddling from Maui to Lanai on a OC-1 Canoe then from Maui to
Molokai on a Stand-up Paddle Board. A suggested $2.00 per mile and above donation which goes to support the Scholarship fund. All together she will be paddling about 42 miles donations can be made to Maliko Water Sports and sent to 1026 Haiku rd Haiku hi 96708. Any Donation is greatly appreciated.

Timebends: A Lifeby Arthur Miller
Autobiographical writings of Arthur Miller.
Focusby Arthur Miller
Lawrence Newman is an ordinary man living in an ordinary neighborhood. He just wants to lead a quiet life; the possibility of violence against others such as the Jewish candy store owner on the corner may excite him but he would rather be an observer than a participant. Then he gets a new pair of glasses, and his troubles begin. suddenly he looks Jewish and people in his neighborhood and at his office start looking at him differently. Aafter he finds love with a woman who also looks Jewish but is not, things become more complicated and more frightening. Newman used to be tolerated if not totally endorsed by the members of the "christian front" who live in his block. Now they begin to regard him the same way they do finkelstein who owns the candy store. Instead of being one of the crowd, Newman has become an alien. What can he do to deny the false label of Jew? Or should he deny it? and this is the crux of this brilliant, wrenching novel. As Newman's visual focus changes with the new glasses, his mental focus also undergoes a change. He begins to question his own prejudices and values. His fear of danger and his need to belong clash with his growing uneasiness about the moral stand of the people he has hitherto admired, and he finds that the choices he makes will affect his life and his hope for love and happiness. This story takes place in 1945 but it is just as powerful and relevant today.
The Crucible: A Play in Four Actsby Arthur Miller
Miller turns, for his setting, to the grim days of the Salem witch trials, and brings into focus an issue that still weighs heavily on the American civilization: the problem of guilt by association. Historical fiction.

Let's think for a minute: If I believe that 1) vaccines don't work; 2) that herd immunity is a fallacy; and 3) that acquiring natural immunization with vaccine available diseases are better for me, human kind, and society as a whole than the negative consequences of said vaccines...then it would be socially irresponsible of me to perpetuate this tragic practice. This is a world my children and children's children have to live in. I'm not going to partake in something that is damaging to my society and my planet. My decision is not limited to myself or my child - I believe it is best for the the whole world.
If you don't agree with 1, 2,and 3 above then your view of social responsibility will be different. Why does your view have to be forced onto me? Why do I have to be accused of being socially irresponsible for making a sincerely held and conscientious decision?
I am not getting a "free ride" I lament that others are subjecting their child to this "ride" that is a horrible social/medical experiment that time will show to be a disaster (IMO). It adds insult to injury that I'm doing this selfishly.
But I definitly share your view that it is a tragic practice and one that requires some serious rethinking. For individuals and society.
ETA: I too believe it is a huge experiment with the potential to go horribly horribly wrong. People in positions of power just do not know what they are doing. I don't think they are necessarily evil people, just arrogant. A bit like the people who helped create the financial mess the world is in.

This list gets a lot of the obvious out of the way and throws in a few oddballs to keep things interesting. These albums aren't being rated. They're being listed. An important distinction, since I don't want anybody getting the idea that I'm some kind of style nazi. I like to let all things coexist. An album with a couple great songs is often better than an album of consistent indifference.
Just think! If I were writing this column in 1966, I'd be remembering the year 1921! And if I was writing about Russian culture, wouldn't that be something?
Wait till you see Part Two!
The Fugs - The Fugs: The Fugs' First Album was originally released in 1965 as The Village Fugs Sing Ballads of Contemporary Protests, Points of Views and General Dissatisfaction and then reissued in 1966 with a few alterations. It's the sound of cold water flats back when getting mugged was a badge of honor on the Lower East Side. Mayor Bloomberg would be appalled!
24) The Monkees - The Monkees: The Monkees belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Not only did their first album include great songs written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, but it also gave a track to future Bread man David Gates, a couple to Carole King and Gerry Goffin, and Mike Nesmith himself. Good pop music is harder than it looks. Apparently, Colgems Records does not have the clout of Seymour Stein.
The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band - Volume One: The covers of Bob Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" and "She Belongs to Me" pay attention to "serious" work, while the covers of "Louie Louie" and "You Really Got Me" apply to rock. The freakouts are what's important. I've seen this stuff called derivative, which is hilarious, since the music it derives from isn't more than a few years old! By this measure, all music is derivative, since every album I own uses the same notes!
22) The Godz - Contact High With the Godz: Another fine crappy band that liked to make a mess. These days, the same damn noise is made and then given an artsy title or a knowing wink, which changes the entire context. It's no longer a contact high, but just annoying second-hand smoke.
Mrs. Miller - Mrs. Miller's Greatest Hits, Will Success Spoil Mrs. Miller?: Don't think hipsters have the market cornered on kitsch. Back in the 1960s, when people hovering around 60 looked like they were from several generations past - kind of the way I look since I don't use a cellphone - Mrs. Miller (Elva to her friends) cranked out popular songs in a deliberately crappy style that included her singing out of key and time and then giggling when she forgot the words. Ha Ha! Look at the OLD PEOPLE. They're so funny!
20) The Beau Brummels - Beau Brummels '66: What better idea than sign a band to your label because they've had some hits with their own material and then force the band into doing an album of covers the very same year everyone else is breaking new ground. It's kind of amazing Warner Brothers didn't have them record an album of swing music.
The Sonics - Boom, Introducing the Sonics: Long before Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden alerted the world that there was such a thing as the Northwest, Tacoma Washington's Sonics, released a slew of albums that were loud and quite rude. "Psycho" is the compilation favorite but they made plenty of other great noises, too! The band broke up at this point to go to school!
18) Chet Atkins - Picks On the Beatles: Had Chet Atkins been born two decades later and in the U.K., he would've been in the Yardbirds and forever revered by rock audiences. (He had to die to get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.) Instead, he was country music's ultimate weapon and was their Joe Satriani, releasing albums of dexterous fretwork that mere mortals could only dream about. Here he takes on music that had MORE HAIR than he did. Or maybe he noticed that George Harrison played a Gretsch in order to sound something like him.
P.F. Sloan - Twelve More Times: I've often maintained that bands should not be embarrassed if they can't write their own songs. Just find somebody who can! Imagine how great life as we know it would be if everywhere you see the name Diane Warren, there was the name P.F. Sloan instead!
16) Bob Lind - The Elusive Bob Lind: Best known for "Elusive Butterfly," Bob Lind falls under a very important category of recording artist: one who recorded with Jack Nitzsche! Also receiving props from Jarvis Cocker helps, but are you seriously going to ignore a man who worked with Jack Nitzsche? Or someone who has written for the Weekly World News? Someone find my copy of Performance!
Martin Denny - Martin Denny!, Hawaiian A Go-Go, Exotica Today, Golden Greats, Hawaii: The music industry was a far more awesome place when artists released albums every few months. Some people refer to Denny's music as kitsch, but I think they're just jealous that he figured out a way to live and work in Hawaii. While stoners were working with fuzzboxes, Denny played with gongs, brass, vibes and percussion! Most important question, did he get to "know" the lady on his album covers?
14) Ssgt. Barry Sadler - Ballads of the Green Berets: While so many anti-war troubadours did brisk business in the 1960s, staff sergeant Barry Sadler managed one massive hit that turned out to the number one single of 1966. His audience wasn't likely to buy many records, concept or double-live albums, so his music career faded.
Hugh Masekela - The Americanization of Ooga Booga: Long before Paul Simon began singing over the music of South Africans, record companies were hesitant to bring the African experience to white America. They had enough trouble getting people to buy jazz!
12) The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds: Often said to be the greatest album of all-time, usually by Brits who fantasize about surfing and California sunshine the way moody U.S. teenagers romanticize anoraks and clammy Manchester streets, Pet Sounds is a tunefully ambitious collection that intimidated and inspired Paul McCartney to begin his takeover of the Beatles. Also on the plus side, Mike Love hated it.
The Monks - Black Monk Time: American GIs stationed in Germany, the Monks are proof that you can be ahead of your time without trying too hard. People are often backwards and stuck and don't even know it. (This also describes my driving.)
10) Otis Redding - The Soul Album, Complete and Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul: I guess his label was afraid you wouldn't know Otis sang soul music. Assuming you listen to music - sometimes it seems I just collect it - you have likely noticed that Otis could sing anything and everything and break your heart. Otis makes you realize how lame death really is. But, in fairness, death spares us from watching artists make mediocre records in something called the 1980s.
The Kinks - Face to Face: The first truly great Kinks album begins the group's slide down and eventually off the charts, making the Kinks the first "alternative rock band." While the production is still several notches below that of other top-tier groups, the songwriting is miles ahead. Actually, I would dare say these songs would be worse if they were recorded with competence. They're called The Kinks for a reason!
8) John Coltrane - Ascension: Recorded in June of 1965 and released in February of 1966, which in those days was a lifetime, Ascension is fantastic jazz for anyone who found the stuff too structured. That it still makes my neighbors shut their doors and windows remains a plus. These days kids think "Free Jazz" just means you don't have to pay for it.
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde: Truth be told, this album is a mess. Its peaks are friggin' Everest ("Visions of Johanna," "Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again") but you could lose a third of it ("Pledging My Time," "Temporary Like Achilles," "4th Time Around," "Obviously 5 Believers") and only be missing the beautiful gatefold sleeve. Consistency has always been overrated. Because you could live off the good stuff here and sell the extras for parts.
6) Buffalo Springfield - Buffalo Springfield: Only in 1966 in a band with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay could Neil Young be considered third in line. They even let Richie sing "Flying On the Ground Is Wrong" so as to not scare the little children. Young did sing on "Burned" and "Out of My Mind." Just look at those titles! How could he not end up recording Tonight's the Night?
Donovan - Sunshine Superman: Contractual issues prevented the official version of this album from being released in the U.K., so only the U.S. got the real thing. It messed up people's chronology of the man's work. While Donovan has always seemed a bit naïve and hippy-trippy to modern ears, his records sound even better today. Kinda like Kraftwerk.
4) The Rolling Stones - Aftermath: In either the U.K. or U.S. edition, Aftermath is the album where the Stones are finally ready to do real battle on the album front. Gone are the blues covers and Chuck Berry numbers. Brian Jones is fully employed and Keith has yet to turn himself into the human riff. The band always had an uncanny knack for coming up with what they needed. At this point, the band was likely wondering when their fame would end!
The Animals - Animalization, Animalism: The Animals never had the Rolling Stones' corporate structure or the Beatles' sunny disposition and ability to sing about, well, animals like they were children's songs. By 1977, the Animals should've been a leading punk group. But the band were to cash in! Bonus points for taking Donovan's "Hey Gyp" and smashing it into the wall.
2) The Beatles - Yesterday and Today, Revolver: The Beatles had their catalog delightfully chopped up by the folks at Capitol who knew Americans liked to buy more albums whenever possible. They took three Lennon songs off Revolver and gave them to us a few months early and out of context. So, the US version sounds like McCartney's date with piano, strings and brass instead of an evenly matched battle where Lennon keeps things loud.
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention - Freak Out!: Zappa was so far ahead of everyone with this debut double album that he couldn't see much in the rearview. Who got this weird without losing whatever potential audience there might be? While pop groups consistently listen to outside producers to learn how to have a hit, Zappa said to hell with it and did what he wanted. Who's a legend?

Rally Calls on Congress for Immigration Reform
Patricia Zapor
Catholic News Service
Sunday, April 14, 2013
People rally for comprehensive immigration reform April 10 near the U.S. Capitol in Washington.
WASHINGTON (CNS) — From across the country, by bus, plane and train, tens of thousands of people calling for comprehensive immigration reform covered the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol April 10, in one of more than a dozen similar events taking place around the United States.
Cries of: "Si, se puede," Spanish for "yes, we can," and "What do we want? Citizenship. When do we want it? Now!" rose from the crowd in Washington.
As an hours-long program of speakers, musical performances and prayers played out on a stage that only those closest to it could see, different groups and individuals on the platform and in the crowd talked and waved signs about the range of issues most important to them.
Signs reading "We build this nation, too," "Immigration reform is central to women's equality," "Education, not deportation," and "Let he/she who has no immigrant blood cast the first stone," were interspersed with flags — mostly U.S., but also from Mexico, El Salvador, Ireland and other nations. On a blistering hot day when many trees hadn't yet grown out leaves to provide full shade, the lawn, surrounding park space and the sidewalks around the Reflecting Pool were covered by a sea of white shirt-clad people.
The rally was organized as part of a nationwide campaign to push Congress to pass a comprehensive immigration reform law that addresses a range of problems with the current system.
A Senate bill being crafted by the bipartisan so-called "gang of eight," was said by some members of the panel to be nearly ready to unveil, perhaps within the week. It is expected to incorporate goals such as a path to legalization and citizenship for the majority of the estimated 11 million people in the U.S. who lack legal status; increases in the number of visas available for workers, and changes to how family reunification visas are granted, all against a set of requirements for ensuring that the Mexican border is "secure."
President Barack Obama is pushing for such legislation, but has been giving the Senate panel time to pull together a bill that might draw votes from both parties. Results of the 2012 election that gave Obama more than 70 percent of the votes of Latinos prodded Republican leaders to rethink their previous opposition to immigration reform that includes legalization or a path to citizenship.
Sentiments expressed at the rally gave a sense of just how complex the demands are for what legislation should accomplish.
One group from the Philadelphia area carried signs saying: "Fight for driver's licenses, we pay taxes." They said they want a state law allowing people to receive licenses regardless of their immigration status. Only a handful of states do not require U.S. legal residency to obtain a license.
One man told Catholic News Service he had a Pennsylvania driver's license for 11 years. But the state law changed and the taxpayer ID number he previously was able to use for his license is no longer accepted. Carlos, who didn't give his last name, said he was one of 4,500 people who lost their licenses because they couldn't provide Social Security numbers. He said the solution to his problem is either to be legalized or to have the state resume allowing people to get licenses even if they are not in the country legally.
"We want each of you to have your picture on an American passport," said Father Jose Eugenio Hoyos, director of the Hispanic Apostolate for the Diocese of Arlington, Va., just across the Potomac River from Washington. "We want each of you to have your picture on an American ID."
As one of several clergy offering prayers, Father Hoyos observed, speaking alternately in English and Spanish: "We don't need a revolution, we need an exorcism."
Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, noted that 36 times the Hebrew Scriptures call upon God's people to "treat strangers well." That teaching, plus the Jews' history of being persecuted as a people lead today's Jews to support immigration reform, he said.
"Can we reconcile God's command with policies that keep families apart?" he asked. "America can do better."
Stepped-up deportation under the Obama administration was cited by many people on stage and in the crowd as something that is making their lives more difficult.
U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez, an Illinois Democrat who has led the charge for immigration reform in the House, said when he left his home the night before, his family "knew I was coming back. Other families are not so lucky" because of the risk of deportation.
"We will fight until everyone in American who wants to return to their families has the same protections as a member of Congress," said Gutierrez.
Carla Varela is a U.S. citizen who lives in suburban Maryland. She told Catholic News Service that many immigrant families she knows have been split apart when someone is deported.
"My brother came to the U.S. because he has a daughter here," she said. He wanted to be a part of his then-baby's life and felt he couldn't help support her given inadequate job opportunities in his home country, Honduras. She said that four years ago he was pulled over by a police officer who acknowledged her brother hadn't done anything wrong but was stopped because, "You look Spanish."
Although her brother had a valid driver's license, he answered truthfully when the officer asked if he was in the country legally. The police turned him over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which eventually deported him, after a few months of shuttling him around among different detention centers, she said.
Since then, Varela said, her niece's mother has kept Varela and other relatives from seeing the child. "She says he needs to come back her before any of us can see her," Varela said.
Martin, a butcher from Mexico who came on a 12-hour bus ride to Washington with his Catholic parish in Grand Rapids, Mich., said his lack of legal status means that he hasn't been able to return to see his now-elderly parents in the 15 years since he left Guadalajara.
His three children are U.S. citizens, and every day "we worry about deportation." He said he's especially puzzled that it is so difficult to fix the problems with the immigration system given that so much of U.S. food production is done by immigrants, such as the many berry pickers who work in Michigan.
"Our life is here," Martin said. "We only want an opportunity to lead our lives. We are all children of God."

Hamann McLaren MP4-12C: Art Car or Eyesore?
Facebook friends and fans of aftermarket tuner Hamann were taken aback when a photo popped up of a rainbow McLaren MP4-12C recently! Companies use Facebook as a tool to drum-up excitement by providing teasers and very few details, and that is certainly the approach Hamann is taking with this pet project, dubbed the 'Art Car'. This is something one could likely not get even from the McLaren customization program…just saying. The photo of the Hamann McLaren MP4-12C popped up on their Facebook page without further details, generating a buzz. What we know thus far is that Hamann has apparently transformed … Continue reading
Jay Leno Drives the Highest Mileage Lamborghini
It seems that Jay Leno doesn't mind a gal with a bit of mileage on her—like the 1967 Lamborghini 400 GT with over 250,000 wrinkles on the odometer. The supercar-loving superstar did a segment highlighting the highest mileage Lamborghini, see complete video below. To put that number into perspective: our Lamborghini rentals are driven often and will never come close to that mileage marker before they are traded in for newer models. The vintage GT 2+2 is owned by Jack Riddell and has certainly been appreciated, racking up over 250,000 miles! Based on looks alone, this car could pass as … Continue reading
Expensive Tastes: The Cupcake Worth More Than an Exotic Car Rental

Sorry UAE…but I would much rather rent every car at Imagine Lifestyles for a month than swallow one bling-emblazoned cupcake!

I was a little off the grid this weekend thanks to a wedding and other family commitments, and there's so much going on right now that I could probably write six different posts about it. In the interest of expediency, let's try to hit as much as of it as I can right here.
ESPN's Molly Knight brings us news that's relevant to the only thing more important than winning baseball games: being rid of Frank McCourt. But this isn't the usual business about Frank's court fight with Jamie, or even about his fight with Bud Selig and MLB. This story has a quite unexpected hero: Manny Ramirez.
We've long known that the Dodgers owe Manny a nice chunk of deferred salary both this year and in years to come, but what's noteworthy here is the amount and the timing: the Dodgers owe Manny a full payment of $8.33m by June 30.
Here's how Knight lays out the June responsibilities:
$9ish million for June 15, $9ish for June 30, $8.33 for Manny.
Remember, every two weeks we've been wondering if McCourt would make payroll. He had to borrow from sponsors to meet the May 30 payroll, and while he's reportedly ready to make the June 15 bill, that's yet to be confirmed. Manny's bill is essentially a third payroll responsibility for June, and it's anyone's guess where McCourt thinks he's going to come up with that kind of money.
Imagine if, after all of the garbage spewed at Manny (much of it deserved, but certainly not all) by the media and some fans, that he was the one who finally sank Frank McCourt? I'd start measuring him for a statue, if that's the case.
The Rays have released ex-Dodger Cory Wade from their AAA affiliate in Durham, NC. (They also added ex-Dodger Lance Cormier to Durham, which, ha.) Wade was released not because of his performance, which has been excellent in Durham, but because of a logjam in the Tampa bullpen – and because Wade had a June 15th opt-out.
You probably remember that Wade was a surprisingly effective reliever for the 2008 Dodgers, before spending most of the next two years being injured and ineffective. (You can probably search the archives here and find reference to me pinning that blame on his overuse by Joe Torre in 2008.) After shoulder surgery last season, he was quietly signed to a minor-league deal by Tampa this winter… and he's been very good. In 36.2 AAA innings, he's allowed just five earned runs with a 34/6 K/BB, and Rays fans aren't happy that he was let go.
Wade is a 28-year-old relief pitcher and while he's no longer a "prospect", he looked like a player that could help in the Rays' bullpen this season. After having shoulder surgery last season, Wade was doing very well in Triple-A this year, striking out 8.4 batters per nine, while walking a miniscule 1.5 batters per nine. He'd allowed four homeruns over his 36 innings pitched, but still, he had a 1.23 ERA and 3.34 FIP — he was darn good. Not only that, but Wade had frequently worked two innings at a time, making him a prime candidate to serve as a long man for the Rays.
I'm beginning to wonder what sort of compromising pictures Andy Sonnanstine must have in his possession in order to stick on the roster instead of Wade. Sonnanstine is getting lit up every time he takes the mound, posting a 6.06 ERA and 7.52 FIP, and he simply doesn't look like a major-league caliber pitcher anymore.
Why, Friedman, why? Do you enjoy subjecting your fans to the horrors of watching Sonny pitch? Are you afraid of those pictures from the playoff celebration last year getting out? Because man, I would have liked to see Cory Wade get a shot.
Other than Sonnanstine, the Rays bullpen has been effective, so the fact that he couldn't get a shot isn't a black mark against Wade. (As for Sonnanstine, Tampa has been overly devoted to him for some time, and Rays fans and bloggers have been bemoaning his roster spot for months.)
So getting to the obvious question – why shouldn't the Dodgers go and try to give him a shot? I'm sure that he won't be unemployed for long, so I'm sure he'll end up in the big leagues soon for someone, and why not the Dodgers? It's not like it'd be hard to make room in the bullpen. Matt Guerrier and Blake Hawksworth aren't going anywhere, but Ramon Troncoso, Josh Lindblom, Scott Elbert and Javy Guerra all have minor-league options, and Elbert & Troncoso just got lit up in Colorado. There's also Mike MacDougal, who would have to be DFA'd, but who has done nothing to live up to his shiny 2.01 ERA.
(Update: Wade signed with the Yankees. Of course he did. Oh well.)
James Loney's grand slam over the weekend in Colorado was his second career salami, with the previous one… also coming in Colorado. This isn't the first time I've noted his brutal home/road splits (or the second… or the third…), but the success he's found in Denver is particularly noteworthy.
|LAD-Dodger Stad
|COL-Coors Fld
Generated 6/13/2011.
I'll be the first to tell you hitting is about more than just home runs, but of all the numbers there, that's what stands out to me the most. Loney has more than seven times as many plate appearances in Dodger Stadium than he does in Coors Field… and just barely more than twice as many homers. Dating back to last season, three of Loney's last five homers have come in Colorado, and even one of the others, against Jason Hammel on May 30, came against the Rockies, though at home. (The fifth came against Florida's Javier Vazquez, possibly the worst starting pitcher in baseball right now.) When Loney gets non-tendered, as we all believe he will, just wait for the Rockies to snap him up. It's not a perfect fit, since Todd Helton is also a lefty and having a great season, but Helton's going to be 38 next year – and the Rockies have found a way to squeeze lefty first baseman Jason Giambi onto the roster this year anyway. I look forward to the day when Loney is both not a Dodger and tormenting us from afar.
In the comments yesterday, I made an off-hand remark that Aaron Miles has the emptiest .300 average in team history, and it's true. He never walks, and he hits for no power whatsoever. That's why his OPS is a subpar .658. I didn't say that meaning to bash Miles, but that upset a lot of people who felt I wasn't giving Miles enough credit. So let me clear that up by saying Miles has been far more than I'd ever expected. His .300 may not be indicative of much by itself, but it's about 150 points higher than I thought he'd give us. When I give out midseason grades next month, he's almost certainly going to get a B+ or higher. As a multipositional, switch-hitting backup, he's been something of a pleasant surprise. You'll notice that I haven't been making calls to have him DFA'd or replaced.
The problem here, which is not on Miles, is that he's not serving as the 5th or 6th infielder. Due to the rash of injuries, he's been an everyday starter. His 190 PA is fifth most on the team, behind Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, Loney, and Jamey Carroll. An empty .300 from a bench player is great, but it's a problem from a starter. Again, that's not on Miles; he didn't create the injury situation, and all he's done is help fill the holes while playing better than expected. That also doesn't mean he's someone we should want to see every night.
Tony Jackson of ESPNLA looked at the infield situation recently, and his takeaway was while Don Mattingly seemingly prefers Juan Uribe and Casey Blake to play every day at 2B and 3B around Loney and Dee Gordon, that Carroll and Miles have outplayed the two enough that they should be playing everyday at 2B and 3B. Jackson's argument is that Blake & Uribe get preferred treatment because of their salaries, and he's probably not far off there.
I understand where he's coming from – after all, I've been saying for two years that counting on Blake to be an everyday player this year was a mistake and that the Uribe contract was a terrible idea – but I can't say I totally agree, and that's partly because I'm more focused on the future than the present.
Here's my optimal infield, with the pieces around right now. At first base, Loney and Blake split time. Blake sees all lefties and half of all home starts; Loney gets to bat in all nine positions the next time the Dodgers go to Colorado. At second base, Carroll needs to be the nearly full-time starter if only for his on-base skills, with Miles starting twice a week to get him time and keep Carroll fresh. Gordon is certainly going to play most days at short, though Uribe or Carroll can spot there now and then, and Uribe should play most days at third, with Blake or Miles getting a start or two a week there. I say this because even though I have little faith in Uribe being worth the value of his contract, the fact is that he's here for 2.5 more years and it's too soon to give up on that. Besides, he can't always be this bad. Right?
News on two Dodger prospects from Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus:
Garrett Gould, RHP, Dodgers (Low-A Great Lakes)
A second-round pick in 2009, Gould had a so-so 4.09 ERA in the Pioneer League last year. When scouts saw him, all they could really talk about was projection, as while the skinny 6-foot-4 righty oozed it, his right-now stuff left plenty to be desired. That projection is starting to come through; what was once an upper-80s fastball is now in the lower 90s, and he is maintaining his good control and a very good curveball. He's looking like one of the best arms in the Midwest League after reeling off back-to-back starts without allowing an earned run. Consistency is a word rarely used in Low-A, but with a 1.55 ERA in 12 starts, in which he has never allowed more than two earned runs, Gould has been just that and maturing.
Trayvon Robinson, OF, Dodgers (Triple-A Albuquerque)
Over the past six weeks, we learned that hitting in Chavez Ravine is very different from hitting in Albuquerque. Just ask Jerry Sands. Still, is it time for Robinson to get the next chance? With a home run on Friday, a double and two walks on Saturday, and five hits on Sunday, he's now batting .299/.357/.543 in 58 games, and while he might not have Sands' pure bat, he his speed and ability to play all three outfield slots offers more lineup flexibility. Robinson still struggles against lefties (which is all Sands could hit), so there would be a different dynamic in play, but when Tony Gwynn Jr. is on pace for nearly 300 plate appearances, there has to be a better way.
Gould is someone we've never heard all that much about, obscured as he's been by the Zach Lee / Chris Withrow / Allen Webster types, so it's good to see some positive news there. We've heard plenty about Robinson and I've contemplated making a "when will he arrive?" post for a few weeks now. If the Dodgers have surprised at all this year, it's in that they've promoted prospects like Jerry Sands, Rubby De La Rosa, and Dee Gordon far sooner than we'd expected. Robinson's probably not completely ready yet – a 67/19 K/BB mark at AAA isn't something I'm dying to add to the lineup – but as Goldstein notes, the production is there and Gwynn (and Trent Oeltjen, and Marcus Thames) are clearly not the answer in left. I'll say Robinson doesn't get the call in June, but I could see it any time after Independence Day.

Thank you for support in 2013. Our medical teams were challenged by crises all over the world last year. Watch this short video to see what your support allowed us to do.
From the series MSF in 2013:
"At one point, we operated for 40 hours with only one two-hour break. Then we slept for three hours, and operated for another 12 hours after that."—Dr. John de Csepel, Doctors Without Borders trauma surgeon in SyriaAn MSF surgeon operates on a patient in an inflatable operating theatre set up inside a converted chicken farm in Syria.

Mental health needs among Syrian refugees are steadily increasing. In Domeez camp, Iraq, "disorders such as schizophrenia and severe depression are becoming more commonplace, and we are seeing many patients who have suicidal tendencies." MSF psychologists and counselors have worked here along with medical staff for over a year now. Read more: http://bit.ly/1bcvJm3
"Most diplomatic discussion on Syria has focused on the recent chemical weapons attack … Meanwhile, the residents of this area continue to face daily bombings and a blockade that deprives them of the food and medicines that they need to survive. And humanitarian assistance is not even on the agenda of international negotiations." - MSF op-ed, published Sept. 17 http://bit.ly/19hy5yo
An MSF nurse tries to make a young patient smile in the ER of one of MSF's makeshift hospitals in Syria. "We work as a beehive," said one of the Syrian nurses. "Not only war-related cases are admitted, the hospital also receives normal medical cases, such as flu or medical emergencies, pediatrics—everything, even blood transfers. It's similar to any regular hospital." Before the current war, Syrians used to have access to good quality health care; now MSF is trying to help fill the enormous gaps.

An MSF nurse performs an ante-natal consultation for a pregnant woman in one of MSF's makeshift hospitals in Syria. "Before this war people in Syria had good quality health care," said MSF surgeon Steve Rubin. "Many Syrians really want that care again. But in this area, other than us, all the other medical facilities are doing war trauma. So they come here because this is their only option."

A boy with asthma receives oxygen in the ER section of an MSF hospital in Syria. The dust had aggravated his asthma and he arrived unable to breathe. It was impossible for his parents to find an asthma inhaler in Syria. There are countless people affected by common health problems in Syria, pathologies that would be entirely manageable in normal settings but can quickly become deadly in the midst of a war, when the usual health care options are suddenly no longer available. Diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and maternal health complications are all taking their toll.
In Syria, MSF surgeon Steve Rubin treats a patient in an inflatable operating theatre inside a makeshift hospital that used to be a chicken farm. The inflatable theatre is a good way to create a sterile environment. "We don't have everything we need," said Rubin, "but we make it work. You tell yourself 'I'm going to do the best I can do with what I have, and save as many lives as I can.'"

"We've heard stories of women left to deliver on their own in a tent. Such stories are very upsetting to me as a midwife, because I know how dangerous it is and how awful it must be for a mother to give birth scared and alone." - MSF midwife in Lebanon working with pregnant Syrian refugees Read the story
U.S. surgeon Steve Rubin is working in an inflatable operating theatre in northern Syria, where the health care system has been destroyed by war. See a video about treating patients in Syria here.

"I have worked in some pretty ugly spots, but coming away from Syria I was really disturbed… by what seemed to be almost a mass psychosis in the population. You could read it in their faces, manifest in some as profound sadness and in others as intense rage and anger." - MSF's Dr. Greg Elder in the New Zealand Herald
Read more: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10891396
"Our patients are an eclectic profile. Some are traditionally dressed and come from rural parts of Syria. These include the Bedouin people, who often have facial tattooing and traditional dress. Many women wear the burka. Some people are clothed in typical modern-day European/American attire of jeans and t-shirt. These people are generally from the cities such as Homs, Damascus and Aleppo. Despite their aesthetic differences, they have something in common. They have all lost everything they owned. They have all witnessed horrendous tragedy and acts of violence. They are all mourning the deaths of loved ones. And what is worse, they are living in fear about the fate of loved ones who are unaccounted for, left behind in Syria." - MSF doctor Aoife Doran in Tripoli.

From Damascus to Ain el-Helweh: Palestinians in Syria Flee to Lebanon
"I'm deeply sad inside, but I need to appear strong in front of my family," says a man called Mahmood while sitting in the narrow room he now shares with his wife and six-year-old son in the Ain el-Helweh Palestinian refugee camp in Saida, Lebanon. Until almost two months ago, he'd been living in another camp for Palestinians, this one in Damascus, but the conflict in Syria had made it impossible to stay.
"It's very difficult," he says. "Seven of my relatives were killed by the bombings and shootings in Syria. We saw their mutilated bodies. I buried them myself and buried my neighbors too. My son disappeared. One month later, my brother disappeared. I'm sure they got killed and this is causing me a lot of sadness."

10,000 Syrians Seek Shelter Near Turkish Border
Several months ago, Hussein Alwawi was living in Aleppo with his family. But, he recalls, "A warplane attacked our neighborhood and lots of houses were destroyed, including ours. We were not at home at the time, but two families were killed."
Five days later, he and his family set out towards Syria's border with Turkey. They found an ad hoc settlement that now hosts some 10,000 displaced Syrians, more than double the number who'd been there at the beginning of the year. While it is officially known as a "transit camp," it would be more accurate to call it a camp for internally displaced people, or IDPs.
Driven from their homes by the war, most of these IDPs now live in tents set up in a field formerly occupied by a customs office, though Alwawi and his family found sanctuary inside a mosque. In a quest to create some sense of normalcy, people have set up barbershops and foodstalls, even a school for the children.

Iraq: Syrian Refugees' Health Deteriorates at Domeez Camp
Overcrowding and poor living conditions in Iraq's Domeez camp have led to a recent deterioration in the health of Syrian refugees. Stéphane Reynier, emergency coordinator for MSF, describes the current situation in the camp:
The health system in Syria has collapsed, and the war has left a section of the population with no access to health care. For the past two years, because of the conflict, children have not received their routine vaccinations.

This project was initiated to test VST/AU 5th order panner plug-ins with random control. For the audio signal, I created a synthesizer plug-in with SonicBirth that has eight voices based on a single user-selectable base frequency. In this piece, it's 22 Hz. This base frequency is going through three stages of randomly controlled sets of integer multiplications. Some other user-controlled parameters are BPM (112 in this case), basic note division (eighth note in this case) and rate at which the new sets of multiplications are applied. The tones are mostly sine waves, but they're also randomly modulated with triangle and saw waves to give a bit of a texture. The eight outputs of the synth are then routed to a group of panners that create various trajectories. The rate at which the panners generate these trajectories is user-controllable. There are some other features like an optional distance-dependant EQ, which is used in this case. This 3rd order horizontal Ambisonic file is also featuring mixed orders: the direct sounds are encoded up to the 3rd order, but the reverb is 1st order only.
Variations on Vater unser im Himmelreich is a electroacoustic remix of Felix Mendelssohn's Organ Sonata No. 6. In the 2001 original source recording, Patrick Wedd played on the Karl Wilhem organ of Christ Church Cathedral in Montreal, Canada. To put it succinctly, the original recording is pre-treated with granular synthesis and then transformed and spatialized in Ambisonic B-Format in realtime using stochastic controllers. Audio file preparation was done with sound editor TwistedWave, granular synthesizer Audio Ease Thonk and sound editor/mixer Steinberg Nuendo. The Audio Units plug-ins used for live performance and responsible for random routing, processing and spatialization were built with SonicBirth. The live performance is done in Plogue Bidule where the multichannel file playback and processing all come together. A more detailed explanation is available here: http://www.radio.uqam.ca/ambisonic/music.html
Composition exploring timbre textures by panning groups of sound sources very quickly. Implemented in 3rd order ambisonics, with 400 point sources.
A recording of fluorescent lights being flicked on and off, processed by 3600 granular voices spread evenly over a square kilometre. Granulation of multiple point sources is used to help synthesise the impression of apparent sound source size.
The first movement in a series of works exploring the effect of distance on a sound's spectral character. The drum sample is taken from a recording of drummer Tim O`Driscoll

To say that Freeport - long known as a great location for unique shopping opportunities - has been in a transition, is putting it mildly.
For years, possibly decades, Freeport has been known as not only the home of L.L. Bean, and the location of its ever-growing number of stores from clothing to boats to hunting to outlet (with more on the way), but also as a great location for a mix of true outlet stores and great local and regional retail stores, most in historic buildings, and all within a short walk down Main Street or a block up one of the side streets. Many recall the walk down the hill to the dirt parking lot where the L.L. Bean factory store was located. Now all that has changed.
For the past year or so the old dirt parking lot has been the site of a major construction project, as L.L. Bean and its partners have been creating a new two-story parking garage with two stories of retail and restaurants above. The construction is nearing completion, and the first stores have opened. First up was a new Nike outlet, with its grand opening last weekend, along with the new Coach outlet and Linda Bean's Perfect Lobster Roll. More stores will continue to open throughout the summer, with special savings often available.
Maine Maven has written a nice post about the new Freeport Village Station shopping mall, and points out that if you mention "Loyal Local" to a clerk, you should receive a "passport" of coupons for additional savings.
Come join us in Freeport, and don't forget to use the words "Loyal Local" at Freeport Village Station!

Argh, now that is a sad story. I was on a hot rod power tour and was posting. Forgot about the time change zone. Part of my posting went in but seems I lost 600 - 700 points, but did keep my CD going. Something else to keep in mind. Might watch your buddies. Some of us had some buddys removed and we had to re-establish them. The mods say they corrected another issue and maybe it corrected the buddy loss as well. This site is going to the dogs! Later buddy. d.

Citysearch Editorial Review – Experience Mardi Gras every night at this Downtown Orlando nightspot. Scantily clad women wearing short plaid skirts and tight tops pole-dance on the bar or swing back and forth high up in the air. Ogling guys sit back and take it all in while sitting on red leather couches in the roped-off front VIP area or the Mezz area in the back. The dark bar has a wrought-iron railing and red brick walls adorned with pictures of mako sharks and the women that work at the joint. Other distractions include the flat-screen TVs airing hip-hop and Top 40 music videos before the siren goes off for the girls to return and shake some more.
Tiffany's P stinks like Bacterial Vaginosis. – The drinks are good and the music isn't half bad. All in all, not bad. The floor is filthy and I got the crabs. Not the seafood kind.
Fun!!! Fun!!! Fun!!! Wee-Hooo – On vacation with friends. Mako's Thursday nite...had so much fun we came back Fri & Sat! Bartenders are great! Staff was very friendly to us. Remembering me when I came back Fri...DJ hollered @ me when I came in!! Beautiful hot women....Hotttt men (Brad...bouncer with braids...bartender in chaps on Sat)...won a Sharkbite...this is a drink you have to try...get ya one!! Audience is drawn into the fun...definitely interactive~~~ The swing was fun to watch. And those girls swing a mean belt!!!
I will be back soon and am bringing a large group this time!!! See ya there!!!!
Happenin place after 11pm on thursdays – Don't know where these other guys were hangin out. This place was kickin. Good looking girls, not only the employees, but customers as well. A single guy should be able to pick up some in that place if he plays it right. drinks were great, not overly priced and service was quick and accurate. THE SWING KICKS A**!!!
Butt Ugly Bitches – Fellas don't waste your time here. The girls are bitches and they think they are super hot...But when the lights go on, guess what? NOT so much... Don't waste your $$ here.
waste of a night – Girls are nothing special with bad attitudes. Some are definately not friendly and you can tell they are being absolutely fake.
Best nightclub in the downtown orlando area – Mako's is one of the best nightclubs around the Central Florida area. It has the Hottest bartenders, shot girls, and of course the swing girls. The best time to go is around 11:30 PM. They have the best DJ's in town. The best nights to go are: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
Good times! – On vacation last weekend, thought it was a little slow for a saturday night, but by 11 the place was hopping! AWESOME music, the best out of the bars on Church St. Staff was VERY HOT, including the kilts, and very energetic! Would definitely visit again!

You have to go down and get a Shark-Bite, they rock....Staff is very friendly, I would recomend going there to anyone and have!!!
