200 East Chestnut, Chicago, IL | Directions 6061141.898557 -87.621523
Neighborhoods: Central, Near North Side
BED BUGS BEWARE! – I stayed at the Seneca for four weeks. Two weeks after checking out I was fraudulantly charged for another guests stay and came to find out that the Seneca had been infested with bed bugs and had contaminated my clothes and luggage that I then brought into my home. Upon calling the Seneca 6 times one day and 4 the next and leaving messages with multiple managers... no one returned my call. It wasn't until I got the bank involved that my money was returned. As for the bed bugs... it was like pulling teeth to get reimbursement for part of my stay in order to pay for all of my belongings to be professionally steam cleaned. STAY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
WATCH YOUR WALLET!!!! THEY OVERCHARGED ME 3 TIMES.. DO NOT G – I live on the west coast and only see my parents 2 times a year. I met them in Chicago for my Dad's birthday and wanted to be nice and pre-pay for one night of their 2-night stay. First, there were problems with billing over charging me and customer service BEFORE we even arrived for our stay. I called four times to the hotel to ask about the charges and no one ever got back to me until i had to go to the website and write a comment. I spoke with Director of Operations who really did nothing to apologize for the mistake or make any attempt to rectify the situation. When I asked for my parents to be compensated for one of their rooms for one night during their 2 night stay I was told that it was a ridiculous request and it was the equivalent of "asking a mechanic making a car payment for you because you dinged your car". Instead I was told he would think of some way to make it up to my parents when they checked out on Sunday (which never happened). They credited my credit card for the amount they overcharged me so I still paid for one night of the 2 night stay. When my parents checked out on Sunday, November 14th, not only were they charged for 2-nights, but for 2-nights worth of parking for 2-vehicles. My parents only had one vehicle. The Manager that was on staff spoke with my parents and told them that I was never there to sign for the charges to my card and therefore I was never paid-obviously a lie. By the time that everything got cleared up with the parking and a few other problems with the other rooms under my mother's name- the manager offered to take off the charge for one of the nights of their 2 night stay (exactly like I requested but was denied-again an unreasonable request). My father asked for a receipt and documentation which the Manager reluctantly gave him. So now for a THIRD TIME we are being overcharged. I already paid for one of the nights of their 2 night stay yet my parents paid for the same night since they were given the second night stay free. We will never be back to this hotel again it was a horrible experience even BEFORE we arrived and you had another chance to improve customer service during our stay and failed.The only genuine apology I received was from your accountant. You have a great facility and it is a shame that it is not run properly.
can't get any sleep.... – I don't know if its because I paid a cheap price on orbitz or what but this hotel is HORRIBLE. I state IS because I'm currently on my first night here. I had to call down because I could hear the entertainment from the bar at 11 on a Thursday night, THEN i discovered I didn't have noisy neighbors, but my room is next to the laundry/BREAKROOM!. I called (@ 2 in the morning - I'm currently awake) to see if I could change rooms and the front desk person stated, "I'll make a note of it and see." OH, and the sheets are so cheap, I have to lay one of my tee-shirts over my pillow because they are so rough on my face. DO NOT USE THIS HOTEL. You are paying for location only.
DAVID YOUR STYLIST AND LINDA FIELDS SALON HAS MOVED – Linda Fields salon has now moved to a better location with David Your Stylist as Director and Hairstylist and color expert. This new location is like the Ritz and I suggest if your looking for a great salon & spa this is the place to go. New and beautiful just the way you will feel when you leave too.
Old, in desperate need of an upgrade – We stayed here for 1 night in September 2007. The location is very good, but the hotel itself is just...so so. The lobby was a much better impression than the rooms. Our room was very small and very old. Carpet was old and stained and the bed was rock hard with a very thin very old and worn comforter. Tiny bathroom, very plain. The little kitchenete was a nice feature though, it came in handy. The lock/door to our room was a big pain in the butt, as everytime we tried to get in our room we had to practically break down the door because it stuck so bad. Our view...oh my..never have we had such a horrible view! Our window overlooked a big brick wall that was falling apart and underneath it was about 4 dump trucks and piles of broken concrete and rubble. We were thinking on requesting a different room, but seeing that we were only there for 1 night and hardly in the room at all, we decided not to bother. Also the elevator was broken the entire afternoon and we had to climb 6 flights of stairs. Our TV was tiny (about 13") and had an antenna and got about 3 channels which we barely came in. The only thing this hotel had going for it was the location. But we will not be back.
Gracious and Lovely – Our business has reserved rooms for associates over the past few years, and have never been disappointed. Guests are amazed at the quality of the accommodations and service in this unique setting. We are happy to be associated with the Seneca Hotel.
Egregious--look elsewhere for better accomodations, value and service – I recently spent a weekend at the Seneca, and was very disappointed in the service and appalled by management's questionable business practices. First, before booking online, I called the hotel and was told that overnight parking was $20/night--imagine my surprise when I received my bill at checkout and saw a charge of $43--per night--for parking! This is egregious! I registered my discontent with the desk clerk, who said "sorry about that" and pushed a comment card at me (which I immediately filled out, and will be shocked if it makes it further than the clerk). Further, I did not receive maid service at all throughout my two-day stay. I was out of the room for at least 12 hours on Sunday--apparently this was not enough time for the staff to bring fresh towels, make the bed and empty the trash. The room was spacious, but in need of attention--the sink was cracked, the sheets had holes, the kitchen needed an upgrade and several drawer pulls were broken or hanging. The location was good, but, then, there are numerous hotels nearby that would provide better accomodations, value and service (I have had positive experiences in the past at the Drake and the Hyatt). Overall, a negative experience--I will not return.
Friendly Staff at a charming rustic small hotel – As far as the hotel it is very nice inside a little more upscale than i am used to. Nice interior and decor (supposedly renovated in summer of 2006) it is an older hotel but has been kept up. The rooms come with a in room kitchen and some even have a whirlpool bathtub. The room like the rest of the place shows signs of being of older design and construction but well kept up and clean. What makes the place even better is the staff that was very courteous and helpful. They even gave suggestions of where to go and even printed out all the information for us while waiting.
Old World charm in a contemporary, urban setting. – The Scene

On my top favorites list. – Great location! Beautiful hotel with excellent service, charm, and ambiance. Room was exactly as advertised and staff was superb. Highly recommend to any traveler heading to Chicago. We stayed 7 days without even the slighest hint of a problem. Hotel is 1 block off the Magnificent Mile next to John Hancock Tower. 1 block from Water Tower Park and the free trolleys and other transportation. 1/2 block from Chicago Tourism center. Well stocked kitchen and more closet space than you can ever use.

Glen Chapple has heaped praise on five-wicket debutant Simon Kerrigan after the left-arm spinner from Preston fired Lancashire to an opening round LV= County Championship win over Warwickshire at Old Trafford today.
Warwickshire slumped to 197 all out, losing six wickets in the first session of the final day, in their unlikely pursuit of 319 in yet more helpful bowling conditions. Kerrigan, 20, finished with impressive figures of 5-43 from 17 overs as the 121-run victory was completed just nine overs into the afternoon session of day four.
They were the best figures by a Lancashire player on Championship debut since Australian Mick Malone took 7-88 against Notts at Blackpool in 1979.
"It's an amazing achievement, and he's bowled exceptionally well," said a delighted Chapple. "Keggsy's a good bowler. It doesn't matter that it's his first game, there was never any doubt about chucking him the ball. He bowled really well.
"He's got a lot of belief in his own ability, he's an intelligent bowler, and he knows what he's about. That's a great thing for me as captain."
While Kerrigan took the majority of the plaudits, two wicket contributions from Tom Smith (2-27 from 14) and Sajid Mahmood should not go unmentioned, along with a tidy but wicket-less opening spell from Jimmy Anderson this morning.
Warwickshire had started today on the back foot at 52-3, having already lost key England pair Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott. And they were down and out when Kerrigan struck three times in his first four overs of the day.
Jim Troughton and Rikki Clarke both fell to ugly swipes, the former caught at mid-on by a running Ashwell Prince and the latter stumped by Luke Sutton. Tim Ambrose was trapped lbw two balls after Clarke's dismissal.
Kerrigan also had Chris Woakes caught at slip by Paul Horton before completing his five-for when he trapped Naqaash Tahir lbw.
The other wickets to fall were those of Neil Carter, caught at extra cover by Prince off Smith, and Imran Tahir, caught at short cover by Prince off Mahmood.
Warwickshire captain Ian Westwood top scored with an unbeaten 82, becoming the first Bears skipper to carry his bat in an innings since 1907, and he at least shared a last wicket stand of 63 with Imran (36) to save some embarrassment.
Chapple, who saw his side recover from 14-4 in the first innings and 113-6 in the second, continued: "Every win is a good win, but regardless of the opposition it's important to get off to good start and maintain the belief you've built through pre-season.
"All through the game it's been a fight, and right from the first session we knew it would be. But we had the team out there to come back and fight. We've done really well."
Lancashire, who take 21 points from this fixture, face Essex at Chelmsford on Wednesday.

If you sat down at a five-star steakhouse and ordered the best T-Bone available, and it came out with big thick layers of fat around the edges, what would your reaction be? Sure, it's still a good steak on the inside but now there's a bunch of extra work you need to do to get to the end result, which is an expensive and delicious melt-in-your-mouth T-Bone that you've been looking forward to for weeks.
Now imagine if they had trimmed the fat off before it got to you, it's still the same steak but there's a lot more time for you to enjoy it. It feels like less work and you're able to enjoy the end result (the steak) a lot sooner and with out all the work to get to the steak, you're going to enjoy it just a little more. Now, if only you could do this in the business world.
Oh, wait, you can.
In the 1990s, the Toyota Production System was developed by Japanese auto maker Toyota and is commonly known in the American business realm as lean manufacturing. The heart of TPS is based around Henry Ford, a pioneer in the automobile industry, who developed efficient assembly line structures that cut his total costs and ultimately raised his overall profit. In short… he cut the fat off his assembly line. Lean management focuses on the types of cuts that can be made across the entire spectrum, for example, a company that is truly lean also examines the number of steps it takes to complete a particular task. If the company is burning too much human energy they might modify the process the employee must take so that every step they make is the most efficient.
You're probably wondering how lean management can affect you and your business if you don't run an assembly line or a manufacturing facility. You can apply lean management in ways that don't require Sigma Six certified professionals to come in and completely revamp your business.
First of all, apply 5S to your office or building. 5S is a method of organization that helps not only to trim the fat from workspaces but to also maintain the organization that is created.
You can cut the fat in other ways as well. Feel like you're spending too much on company travel? Don't travel anymore. Use a video conferencing or audio conferencing service to lower your travel costs and be more time efficient. Think of it like this: a video or audio conference isn't going to run late, get delayed, lose baggage, or get caught in traffic. It's available when you need it and however you need it, so it eliminates the need to make grand plans to get everyone together for a discussion. Conference calls are only the distance from you to a phone or computer, so imagine the energy, time, and money you're saving by just picking up the phone.

Manet Natural Multicolor Diamond(Tm) 1.35ctw Round, 14k Yellow Gold Pendant. Measures 1"l X 5/8"w And Has A 5mm Bail. Estimated Appraisal Value $2,000.00
The Impressionist painters of the latter part of the 19th century ignited an artistic revolution with their bold explosions of color and movement. Their vibrant canvases confounded critics and defied convention. More than a century and a half later, these visionaries remain among the most revered and influential artists of all time. One of the most famous Impressionist painters, Edouard Manet, had a powerful influence on the other Impressionists of the day with his short brush strokes of bright colors in close proximity, representing the effect of light on objects.

One of my favorite games of all time, one that I can still play endlessly to this day, is Nintendo's classic Excitebike. It is a simple and addictive formula that just keeps you coming back for more and more. It is really a simple concept: go, stop, and balance... that is all there is to it. Yet those three mechanics, combined with some great course designs, have crafted a gaming experience that has lasted years. Scratch that, decades!
It is no surprise that other companies are starting to revisit this simple premise and bring it to the modern era. Red Lynx has done so with the Trials series on the Xbox 360 and PC and now Tate Multimedia is bring their own take to Sony's PlayStation Network. Urban Trial Freestyle will challenge not only your skill and prowess with the virtual motorbike also your ability to remain calm under pressure. I have spent the last week kicking up dirt with both the PlayStation 3 and
Vita versions
of the game and have found myself wishing that there was more to be had on this adventure.
Let me clarify that this review is specifically for the PlayStation 3 version of the game. If you have played anything like Trials HD or Excitebike, then you know what expect here. This isn't about complicated control schemes or intricate aerial maneuvers; you have to get from point A to point B while remaining upright and catching huge air along the way. Tricks don't get any deeper than popping wheelies or pulling off flips in the air; you won't be doing handstands on the handlebars or pulling superman-style releases by your own volition. There are some canned animations depicting these tricks in the game, but they are triggered automatically depending on the amount of air that you get off of the various ramps. It sounds simple and it really is, but it is also amazingly fun too.
What sets this game apart from the competition is the variety and activity in its environment. Most games simply put you to the test on complicated tracks; Urban Trial Freestyle does that but also throws in a ton of environmental elements into the equation to throw things off. You have to keep and eye out for speeding trains, collapsing buildings and debris, as well as the occasional, tumbling car or truck. Plus you have bystanders who throw things at you which can knock you off of your bike. These are more than just hazardous events meant to throw you off of your course, but rather opportunities for you to add a little style or flair to your run(s).That dump truck that drops its load right in front of you on the freeway also provides a great opportunity to catch some air, plus the dust it stirs up adds to the atmosphere. The world around you is insanely busy. We're talking about police helicopters flying by, cars colliding inches from your rider, and construction materials rolling across the ground and collapsing at every second of your race.
The game mixes things up from the norm by putting you in two distinct type of races. You have speed runs and trick runs, each of which are scored on a 5-star scale. You will need to collect stars in order to unlock other courses and environments. Speed runs are exactly like they sound: timed sprints from one point to the next. The quicker you complete the course, the more stars that you are granted. The trick runs are a bit different and what is truly the heart and soul of this game.
There are five measurable tricks / stunts in the game, and multiple stunts may appear in a course. You will encounter marked areas of the different courses that will ask you to set a record of the highest jump, longest jump, biggest flip, highest speed, or a measure of precise aiming. It is all about the approach in each situation so knowing your track and learning how to get the best out of each situation is something that you will need to master. In addition to learning the skills necessary to perform these various stunts, you will also have to tune your bike to make the best out of each situation.
All of the tracks are littered with cash, $5,000 on each stage, and you can collect it to upgrade the various parts of your bike. You can upgrade three different aspects: motor, frame, and tires. Each alteration modifies you ratings in the categories of top speed, acceleration, and handling. One bike won't do it all here, you will need to tune your ride up prior to each course in order to make the most out of the stunt opportunities it provides. there are many times where I found myself unable to complete a course because I had to pull off a 360 flip in order to land safely on an intricately placed platform; if your handling isn't up high enough, pulling off such a feat is impossible,. Then again, you will also need to have your speed up to par enough to get you the air you need. I found the need to tune my bike far more important here than I have an any other comparable games. You can also spend cash to customize the look of your rider, but those options are relatively limited and do not have any effect on your performance.
The best part about setting the record for a trick is that the game will then plaster your profile pick on the billboard marking that section of the course. Each one will be marked with your PSN profile's icon and your PSN ID, staking your claim to that particular area.This is the crux of the game's replay value and what will make or break the game in the long run. It is all about setting the high scores and as long as the public keeps playing and setting new bars, people will have a reason to come back. Once that dies off however and the leaderboards become stagnant, the game will lose its appeal.
Once you have trekked through the five urban environments, you will have complete access to the game's five different challenge stages. These are individual courses each with their own distinct task and a unique leaderboard to crown a king. One challenges you to get as far as you can on a single tank of gas while another challenges you to complete a course in the lowest amount of time while manipulating gravity. They're simple and fun but nothing that will ultimately keep you entertained for long. They can be completed in a matter of minutes and once you have secured your place in the rankings, the only reason to ever come back is to try and increase your score.
There is really only one problem to be had with the game: lack of courses. Sure, there are more than 45 levels present in the game, but those will be knocked in a matter of hours. Games like this need an ability to generate new content, such as user-made tracks. Let the community feed itself and they will continue to eat from the troth that is your game for a long, long time. But if you give them a definite end, as this game does, they are likely to look elsewhere for food once they have had their filling. Hopefully Tate plans on introducing a track editor, or at least additional tracks, at some point in the game's future. I am not usually one to ask for DLC, but in this case I am begging for it. Please, give me a reason to come back to this game months down the line!
Urban Trial Freestyle is a blast to play. The gameplay is spot on and the game does a good job at varying the courses through the different environments. It really does feel a lot like Red Lynx's Trials series, and I mean that as a compliment, but it also does enough to differentiate itself from that series to give it its own legs. The big difference here is the incorporation of the environmental hazards; the world around you is a lot more interesting here than it is in comparable games. If only there was a means of creating and sharing additional tracks, then I could see myself playing this game for years to come. As it stands now though, it is a great adventure that should keep you entertained as long as its community stays interested and the leaderboards remain lively.

This was a free tat I allowed my roommate to tattoo on me. As you can tell the person who did this follows the lines even if they are wrong. This tattoo could have potential, if i had a pro actually work on it. I have told myself, that I will not ever get a tattoo again unless I know for a fact I am going to get quality work. Even if it costs :o)
Give the tattoo you think ***** to be covered up a "thumbs up" or like the image.

Both Sides Now
A look at safety from both the NTSB and the FAA perspective
In 1968 Judy Collins recorded a song by Joni Mitchell called 'Both Sides Now' in which she opines about Clouds, Love, and Life; yeah, in that order and neither making sense. She first compares clouds to feathers, angels, and ice cream before going dreary by saying clouds only bring rain and snow. It was at this part that I changed the knurled radio dial (we had those back then) to a better AM station (we used to listen to those back then). Stay with me here …
NTSB recommendations
I read a Sept. 29, 2010 article in the Washington Post where the reporter says, "The NTSB issued 21 recommendations after the Air Midwest crash. The FAA still has not implemented two of them: to prohibit the person training a mechanic from serving as the inspector on that same part and to increase oversight of work done by contracted mechanics."
The article throws blame on the FAA for dragging its feet on reacting to NTSB recommendations. Now this lends itself to the reader's interpretation, but as the sole NTSB A&P investigator at the time, I worked this accident; I led the Aircraft Maintenance and Records group. In fact, I conducted the interview where these facts came out so I'm able to look at this "cloud" from both sides.
When a reporter misstates information, it draws the public's attention in any direction but the real issue. For instance, the reporter says there were 21 recommendations related to this accident, NTSB/AAR-04/01, which is true. However seven of them dealt with weight and balance, which was also a probable cause of the fatal accident; minor point, but misstated nonetheless.
There were actually 14 recommendations concerning maintenance and the two the FAA allegedly didn't implement were: 1. prohibiting the person training a mechanic from serving as the inspector on that same part (actually the word 'task' was used), and, 2. increase oversight of work done by contracted mechanics. So, let's take a look at these …
Trainer not also the inspector
No. 1. Prohibiting the person … same task. I remember my jaw hitting the ground when the required item inspector (RII) in this accident admitted to inspecting his own work, albeit while training the mechanic. When I worked for Brand X in Omaha, NE, I held a RII and one of the biggest Bozo-no-no's was to sign off your own work — training or no training. That being said, the FAA addressed this issue with a regulation 38 years before this unfortunate accident. In 14 CFR 121.373 (c), which says of a RII, "No person may perform a required inspection if he performed the item of work required to be inspected."
Now I've met many of you folks while working this job, working for the NTSB, and when I was in industry; I could count on one hand the mechanics that can't employ common sense in interpreting that regulation. But the reporter's question was: why didn't the FAA address the recommendation?
The answer is: How many times do you have to say the same thing? You ladies and gentlemen, with the rare exception, know what a regulation means. If you don't, you'll ask your fellow mechanic, management, or your FAA office inspector, etc. For the FAA to re-regulate issues would be like saying your state should write a stronger law saying, "You really, really can't go through red lights, and we mean it this time … a lot." At what point does redundancy become redundant?
Increased oversight
Then there's No. 2. Increase oversight of contracted workers. A change like this doesn't qualify as a regulation; the topic is too broad to be all inclusive. So what the FAA doesn't address in the regulations to the industry it addresses in policy and procedures to itself. I never wrote that recommendation for industry to police contractors; I wrote it for the FAA to accomplish internally.
During this investigation I remember this issue very well; it involved a lot of sleight of hand and shell game tactics, so the FAA had to address this recommendation through internal policy. It spoke directly to the inspectors, the folks that actually conduct oversight and on-site surveillance of air carriers and their contracted workers.

CB Richard Ellis Group Inc.
Company Profile
CB Richard Ellis Group Inc. is a commercial-brokerage giant based in Los Angeles. Like a real-estate supermarket, CB offers services from capital-markets and investment management to property appraisal and research.
CB diversified with its purchase of property manager Trammell Crow several years ago, a move that's expected to help the business through the downturn, but it also saddled the company with a heavy debt burden. Distressed property sales may turn out to be one plus for CB: It has a contract with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to sell properties taken over by the agency.
CB recently has been shedding jobs, mostly through layoffs and attrition in areas that provide services for the firm's brokers, such as market researchers, accountants and administrative staff. It also cut broker commissions and reduced expenses such as travel, marketing, entertainment and employee incentive events.

OpenSCAD is a software for creating solid 3D CAD objects.
It is free software and available for GNU/Linux, MS Windows and Apple OS X.
Unlike most free software for creating 3D models (such as the well-known application Blender), OpenSCAD does not focus on the artistic aspects of 3D modelling, but instead focuses on the CAD aspects. So it might be the application you are looking for when you are planning to create 3D models of machine parts, but probably is not what you are looking for when you are more interested in creating computer-animated movies.
OpenSCAD is not an interactive modeller. Instead it is something like a 3D interpreter that reads in a script file that describes the object and renders the 3D model from the script file. This gives you (the designer) full control over the modelling process and enables you to easily change any step in the modelling process, or even to produce designs that are defined by configurable parameters.
OpenSCAD provides two main modelling techniques: First, constructive solid geometry (CSG) and second, extrusion of 2D outlines. Autocad DXF files are used as the data exchange format for the 2D outlines. In addition to 2D paths for extrusion, it is also possible to read design parameters from DXF files. In addition to reading DXF files, OpenSCAD can also read and create 3D models in the STL and OFF file formats.
OpenSCAD can be downloaded from http://openscad.org/. You may find extra information in the mailing list.
People who don't want to (or can't) install new software on their computer may be able to use OpenJSCAD ( http://OpenJSCAD.org/ ), a port of OpenSCAD that runs in a web browser.

Countdown Timer until specified Date-Time starts a countdown to a time defined in forms. It can take a given time for the end of a countdown from form inputs which define the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second. The object can also take the end time from static page elements with identifiers which start with a given prefix. The object can start the countdown and keep updating page elements which show the remaining time to the end.
Adianti Framework provides an architecture for developing PHP applications, reducing development costs, and helping developers write less code. It is a component-based and event-driven framework which uses commonly-known enterprise design patterns like MVC (Model View Controller), Front Controller, and ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) design patterns like Active Record and Repository. It provides two different widget toolkits, one for Web applications (HTML/CSS) and another for graphical applications (with a Graphical User Interface) which uses Gtk internally. The developer can write one set of code, and it can run in a Web environment and also as a graphical application.
Adianti Studio is a multi-platform environment for PHP development which includes a great range of resources a developer needs to be productive. It uses a tabbed interface which brings basic resources like syntax highlighting, auto-complete, an outline tree, bookmarks, code insight, change tracking, method traceability, workspace saving, brace matching, source code navigation, database navigation, a plugins gallery (managed by the user), a PDF document generator, a calendar, and more. In the professional version, it adds a form design tool called Adianti Designer which allows the user to draw its forms with a graphical interface using Adianti Framework components and containers like inputs, combos, radios, check buttons, imagens, frames, notebooks, datagrids, and more. The professional version also offers a source code generator which allows the user to generate form classes and datagrid classes from database structures using the Adianti Framework pattern of source code.
Weed-FS is a simple and highly scalable distributed file system. There are two objectives: to store billions of files, and to serve the files fast! Instead of supporting full POSIX file system semantics, it implements only a key-file mapping. Instead of managing all file metadata in a central master, it manages file volumes in the central master and lets volume servers manage files and the metadata. This relieves concurrency pressure from the central master and spreads file metadata into volume servers' memories, allowing faster file access with just one disk read operation. It is modelled on Facebook's Haystack design paper. Only 40 bytes of disk storage are required for each file's metadata, and disk reads are O(1).

The Brooks HTS Systems and Workcells are designed with input from HTS labs in major pharmaceutical companies to ensure optimum usability. They provide a superior alternative to costly cart-based solutions that offer flexibility but make poor use of space and inflexible fixed instrument solutions that offer better instrument density and lower initial cost but are expensive to upgrade. Brooks offers Sprint 6™-driven hardware solutions that range from small workcells to fully automated screening systems.
Key Features
• Flexible hardware solution - future-proof design allows easy instrument upgrade / exchange without need for system redesign
• Dockable carts, slides – combined with the Sprint 6 HTS Software "Just-in-time initialization" this maximizes use of expensive or "in-demand" instrumentation by allowing assay to start without the instrument which can then be added "just-in-time" for first use

Increased pancreatic beta-cell secretory activity is usually associated with decreased alpha-cell activity; stimulated beta-cells release gamma-aminobutyric acid, which hyperpolarizes alpha-cells, inhibiting glucagon release.
Thus, insulin secretion and glucagon secretion are usually inversely coupled. This suggests that chromium and other insulin-sensitizing modalities, by down-regulating beta-cell activity, may increase glucagon secretion.
Such an effect might play a role in the documented therapeutic activity of supplemental chromium and biguanides in reactive hypoglycemia, and might also be of benefit to dieters.
McCarty MF: Chromium and other insulin sensitizers may enhance glucagon secretion: implications for hypoglycemia and weight control. Med Hypotheses, 1996 Feb, 46:2, 77-80.
Careful attention to nutrient delivery in the IUGR infant is important to prevent and treat neonatal metabolic derangements and to improve postnatal growth.
· Carbohydrates are the essential fuel in the first days of life, to prevent hypoglycemia.
· Subsequent delivery of protein and fat helps rectify reduced muscle and fat stores and promotes weight gain.
· Calcium supplementation to prevent further bone demineralization and
· Iron supplementation to replete iron stores may be necessary.
Of special interest is that the neurologic outcome of these infants appears linked to the rate of catch-up growth. The rate of postnatal head growth depends on many perinatal and neonatal risk factors, and is a strong predictor of early developmental outcome in low-birthweight infants. Insufficient energy delivery beyond 2 weeks postnatal age in SGA premature infants results in failure to initiate subsequent catch-up head growth, with consequently smaller head circumferences at 1-year follow-up.

Here is a statement from Earthjustice president, Trip Van Noppen:
"Once again, Congress has shown its strong support for protecting these pristine lands in our national forests. We particularly commend the dedication that the bills' sponsors, Representative Jay Inslee (D-WA) and Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), have given to protecting these forests. They have been the leading congressional defenders of the landmark 2001 Roadless Rule for eight very challenging years. Their tireless efforts will help ensure that these wild forests, and the clean water, wildlife and recreation opportunities they sustain, will be there for the benefit of future generations of Americans.
"Today's introduction is particularly meaningful because, thanks to an August 5th ruling by the 9th Circuit Court, the 2001 Roadless Rule again applies nationwide, except for remaining Bush-era exemptions of Alaska's Tongass National Forest and Idaho.
"We are grateful for the President's pledge to defend and uphold the 2001 Roadless Rule and Secretary of Agriculture's support of the rule.
"We look forward to working with the administration to restore its protections to Alaska's Tongass rainforest and all the national forests in the state of Idaho."

Fan setting was not set to auto! Problem solved!
Got up this morning and my central air blower was running but the compressor was off. It seems to be switch related because the compressor did come back on after the temperature rose. Usually when I turn off the air from the thermostat the compressor and blow turn off. Now the compressor turns off only. What could be the problem?
Fan setting was not set to auto! Problem solved!
An easy fix and one you'd kick yourself for if calling out a tech.
My wife called out a tech for an intermittent furnace problem where it would run for less than a minute and shutoff. The tech tore the furnace apart before realizing the problem. Turns out the wife tossed a blanket on top of the garbage cans that where right below the fresh air intake for the furnace. The wind was blowing up a flap of blanket that would sometimes block the intake. DOH!
