The act of giving someone a Stink Bomb involves quite an elaborate scheme. First, you wear the same pair of underwear for at least two weeks straight. It is important that during this period you do alot of aerobic exercises to really get your stinky-ass juices flowing. Also remember, the longer you wear them, the stinkier the bomb. Next, you choose a victim. Your mortal enemy is usually a good target, but anyone will work. Finally, you wait until the victim is at their most vulnerable (during sleep is always a good time) and rub the soiled underwear all other their mouth and nose.
I stink bombed my roomate the other day. He hasn't been the same ever since.

A small portion of the U.S. 34 business route east of Greeley has been fixed and for residents and business owners in the area, it's a shred of normalcy in the wake of Colorado floodwaters that devastated their properties and overturned their lives.
Connie Hill, co-owner of Rolling Hill Auction, which sits directly off of the portion of road that was crumbled by floodwaters nearly eight weeks ago, said as she cleaned the auction house that she has been detouring on roads farther east to reach her property.
"It's going to help a lot of people," Hill said of the repaired portion of road.
The repair was completed by crews with the Colorado Department of Transportation early on Monday.
Amy Ford, spokeswoman for CDOT, said they are still tabulating all of the costs for emergency fixes.
She said motorists will not be able to access U.S. 34 eastbound from the business route, and motorists coming either way on U.S. 34 will not be able to access the business route until CDOT has done permanent repairs on the road.
For Joel Kniffen, owner of Eagle Electric Services, 2121 E. 20th St., the fact that there is still little access to U.S. 34 from the business route and vice versa means the improvement won't translate to more convenience.
"It's really no different," he said of the fix.
Kniffen said his company has few walk-in customers, which is helpful, but it receives a good deal of deliveries.
He said his nephew and brother live on Fern Avenue but because he can't turn onto the business route from U.S. 34, he must drive a half-hour out of his way to reach them.
"For me, it's a real pain."
Still, Kniffen said, his business is luckily at the top of a hill so he didn't experience the wrath of the floodwaters.
Hill said the U.S. 34 business road likely kept the damage on her auctioning property from being worse. The road divided the waters that rose from the South Platte River, which she said mitigated some effects.
Hill lived in a trailer next door to the auction house, which was also taken by the flood.
She said the repaving is one of many steps in a long recovery.
"Within 45 minutes, it was up to my shoulders," she said of the day the river waters invaded her property.
"Everything that you work for is just, whoosh," Hill said as she shaded her eyes from the sun, her hand clad in a dirty latex glove.
Piece by piece, Hill moved the damaged items from inside her auction house outdoors, her mouth covered with a surgical mask.
"We lost so much. But so did a lot of people," she said.
Through it all, she said she has had the support of the community and feels as though it could have been worse.
"There's a lot of God and a lot of love over here."

HEAD INJURY, No Wake-Up (Child)
Head Injury [Child: No Wake-Up]
Your child has had a mild head injury. It does not appear serious at this time. Sometimes symptoms of a more serious problem (bruising or bleeding in the brain) may appear later. Therefore, during the next 24 hours watch for the WARNING SIGNS listed below.
Home Care:
During the next 24 hours someone must stay with your child to check for the signs below. It is okay to let your child sleep when tired. It is not necessary to keep him awake or wake him up during the night.
If there is swelling of the face or scalp, apply an ice pack (ice cubes in a plastic bag, wrapped in a towel) for 20 minutes every 1-2 hours until the swelling starts to go down.
Do not use aspirin or ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) after a head injury. You may use acetaminophen (Tylenol) to control pain, unless another pain medicine was prescribed. [NOTE: If your child has chronic liver or kidney disease or ever had a stomach ulcer or GI bleeding, talk with your doctor before using these medicines.]Â
For the next 24 hours:
Do not give medicines that might make your child sleepy.
No strenuous activities. No lifting or straining.
If your child has had any symptoms of a concussion today (nausea, vomiting, dizziness, confusion, headache, memory loss or was knocked out), do not return to sports or any activity that could result in another head injury until all symptoms are gone and your child has been cleared by your doctor. A second head injury before fully recovering from the first one can lead to serious brain injury.
Follow Up
with your doctor if symptoms are not improving after 24 hours, or as directed.
[NOTE: A radiologist will review any X-rays or CT scans that were taken. We will notify you of any new findings that may affect your child's care.]

Comments about SpaRitual Lip Gloss, Clarity, .5 oz:
This product is okay. I should have chosen a different color than Clarity, but it's neutral and can be worn anytime over any color. It is a bit "tacky" and dosen't stay on very well. It does leave a bit of "tingly feeling" on your lips. Ths scent is not obtursive, nor the taste. I probably won't reorder due to the fact it doesn't wear very well.

"Mere Christianity" is C.S. Lewis's forceful and accesible doctrine of Christian belief. First heard as informal radio broadcasts and then published as three seperate books - "The Case for Christianity, Christian Behavior" and "Beyond Personality - Mere Christianity" brings together what Lewis sees as the fundamental truths of the religion. Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, C.S. Lewis finds a common ground on which all those who have Christian faith can stand together, proving that "at the centre of each there is something, or a Someone, who against all divergences of belief, all differences of temperament, all memories of mutual persecution, speaks the same voice."
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
In 1943 Great Britain, when hope and the moral fabric of society were threatened by the relentless inhumanity of global war, an Oxford don was invited to give a series of radio lectures addressing the central issues of Christianity. Over half a century after the original lectures, the topic retains it urgency. Expanded into book form, Mere Christianity never flinches as it sets out a rational basis for Christianity and builds an edifice of compassionate morality atop this foundation. As Mr. Lewis clearly demonstrates, Christianity is not a religion of flitting angels and blind faith, but of free will, an innate sense of justice and the grace of God.From the Back Cover:
Mere Christianity is the most popular of C. S. Lewiss works of nonfiction, with several million copies sold worldwide. Heard first as radio addresses and then published as three separate books--The Case for Christianity, Christian Behavior, and Beyond Personality this book brings together Lewiss legendary broadcast talks of the war years, talks in which he set out simply to "explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times."
It is a collection of scintillating brilliance which remains strikingly fresh for the modern reader, and which confirms C. S. Lewiss reputation as one of the leading Christian writers and thinkers of our age.

Santee Cooper just borrowed $1.34 billion, a record amount for a public agency in South Carolina.
It isn't finished, either, not by a long shot. As Santee Cooper finance chief Jeff Armfield recently informed the electric utility's board, from now through 2016 "will be heavy borrowing years for us."
The state-owned power company likely will use some of the future proceeds to comply with new air regulations and fund routine capital improvements. Another portion will replace older debt that has higher interest costs, the equivalent of home refinancing.
But the bulk of the cash from the future bond sales will end up in Fairfield County, where Santee Cooper is shouldering 45 percent of the $10 billion expansion of the V.C. Summer Nuclear Station.
SCANA Corp.'s South Carolina Electric & Gas is responsible for the rest. The first of the new reactors north of Columbia is expected to start producing power by early 2018. The two units will have a roughly 60-year shelf life.
Utilities are all about planning for the future, but in this case it's the here-and-now that's more problematic. Santee Cooper and its ratepayers are assuming a 10-figure debt obligation as the electric utility industry's "nuclear renaissance" is quickly dimming.
Lone wolf?
Entergy Corp. offered the latest evidence last week by announcing it will shutter a Vermont nuclear plant this year, saying a glut of cheap natural gas made the New England generator too uneconomical. Three others owned by other utilities in Wisconsin, Florida and California also are on the docket to close in 2013.
But that's not all.
A couple of weeks ago, a report from Georgia regulators concluded that Southern Co.'s plan to add two reactors near Augusta at a cost of $14 billion wouldn't make financial sense if work began now.
And Charlotte-based Duke Energy has indefinitely shelved plans to proceed with a $24 billion nuclear plant in Florida that it inherited from its buyout of Progress Energy.
It's enough to make the V.C. Summer expansion an outlier. Santee Cooper Director Bill Finn of Charleston recognized as much during the Aug. 19 board meeting, casually mentioning to no one in particular about a "lonely here" feeling.
Even Lonnie Carter, Santee Cooper's CEO, did some Monday morning quarterbacking that Monday morning.
Carter reminded his board the investment was approved in better times, in early 2006. Two years later, the economy was entering its most punishing downturn in decades. In hindsight, Santee Cooper probably wouldn't have committed to such a big stake in the V.C. Summer deal if it knew then what he knows now, the CEO acknowledged.
Summer sale
Even so, Carter stands behind the nuclear project.
"Definitely needed," he said after the last board meeting. "And economical."
Carter dismissed comparisons to the Southern Co. project, saying its escalating costs in Georgia are the result of a construction contract that has fewer fixed terms than the V.C. Summer deal.
Santee Cooper signed on the Jenkinsville expansion to balance out the kinds of fuel it uses to generate power. A primary goal is to scale back its reliance on coal, which Carter said is going to get more expensive to burn in the years ahead as pollution rules get more stringent.
The question now is whether Santee Cooper will be saddled with too much nuclear power and, consequently, too much debt. Wall Street's three big credit rating firms agree that's a major risk if the Moncks Corner-based utility can't sell off a big slug of the V.C. Summer plant in fairly short order.
The only prospect for now is Duke Energy Carolinas, which expressed an interest in acquiring at least 10 percent of Santee Cooper's stake more than two years ago. Those negotiations continue, Carter said.
Ultimately, Santee Cooper wants to cut its exposure to the nuclear project by more than half to about 20 percent, but the exact figure is in flux.
"At some point we have to decide how much we want to retain," Carter told the board.
Providing power to the people isn't the straightforward process it once was, when coal was king. It can be problematic nowadays. Pricey, too.

Facebook on Collision Course With Google on Web Searches
After years of collecting photos and personal data from its billion-plus members, Facebook Inc. FB -0.88 % Tuesday unveiled a search tool that sifts through people's profiles—and pushes the social network deeper into Google Inc.'s home turf.
The two companies are vying to become the primary gateway to the Internet. Google has long served as a destination to find websites and information; Facebook, to share gossip and photos with friends. But those distinctions are increasingly blurring, and billions in advertising dollars are at stake.

- Facebook Goes After, Well, Everybody With 'Graph Search'
The social network said Tuesday it will enable members to conduct complex queries related to their friends' profiles, such as "tourist attractions in France visited by my friends."
In doing so, Facebook is attacking Google's core strength and its most lucrative product—search—in a bid to convince people they might not need to use Google to find information.
Google generates the majority of its $40 billion in annual revenue world-wide from selling ads on its search engine. In the U.S., Google was projected to make more than $13 billion in search-ad revenue, or 75% of the entire market, in 2012, according to research firm eMarketer Inc.
Google's repository of information remains unmatched. It said it has indexed 30 trillion unique Web pages across 230 million sites. Last year, Google changed its search engine to make it easier for people to quickly get detailed information about people, places and real-world things by displaying photos, facts and other "direct answers" to search queries at the top of the search-results page, rather than just links.
Having witnessed Facebook's rise and anticipating its move into search, Google built its own social-networking service, Google+, in 2011 to obtain data about specific individuals by name, their personal interests and the identities of their friends. It then integrated Google+ with its Web-search service, so that people searching for a particular website, local restaurant or real-world product will be alerted if any of their Google+ contacts previously rated it positively or negatively.
A Google spokesman declined to comment.
But Facebook has a far larger social network and a sizable head-start after spending years encouraging its members to add photos and all sorts of personal information to their profiles, from basic data like location, employer name and interests to more sensitive details such as age, religion and romantic status.
Much of that data is now searchable using Facebook's new "Graph Search" feature after more than a year in development. Facebook began rolling it out Tuesday as a test to a limited number of users. For Web searches that Facebook can't deliver, the queries are served by Bing, the search engine from Facebook partner Microsoft Corp. MSFT -1.09 %
Facebook's move into search could disrupt a number of other Internet businesses, such as Yelp Inc., YELP -1.75 % LinkedIn Corp. LNKD -0.74 % and Amazon.com Inc., AMZN 0.04 % which people use to find local places, business connections and products, respectively.
Amazon and LinkedIn declined to comment. A spokesman for Yelp, whose shares dropped more than 7% in the wake of Facebook's announcement, wasn't immediately available for comment.
Facebook Unveils Graph Search
"I don't think one query will take down a whole business today, but (many of) these businesses have to be worried because they are social in nature," said Brian Blau, a Gartner analyst.
Facebook didn't announce any business initiatives connected with the new capability, which won't initially be available on mobile devices—where a growing number of users are tapping into the service.
But the product will likely open moneymaking opportunities down the road for Facebook in the form of search advertising, as the company works to boost its revenue following its botched initial public offering last May.
Facebook currently makes most of its revenue by selling small graphical, or display, ads on its site.
Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged that Graph Search could help Facebook make more money, but demurred on when the company might capitalize on those opportunities.
"This could potentially be a business over time, but for now we've really focused on building out this user experience," Mr. Zuckerberg said at the product's launch event at Facebook's Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters, adding that the company has no specific targets for making the search service more widely available.
Investors didn't appear to be surprised by the news, which followed days of speculation online that Facebook would announce a search tool. Facebook's shares, which have risen more than 75% since their September nadir, fell 2.7% to close Tuesday at $30.10.
Facebook has introduced a slew of new products in recent months that indicate it is going after new revenue. The product debuts include stand-alone mobile texting applications; Facebook Exchange, a real-time bidding ad exchange that allows advertisers to better target specific groups; and Gifts, an online store. The company reports fourth-quarter earnings on Jan. 30.
Facebook has long had a basic search tool, but it was geared toward rudimentary searches such as someone's name or a company's Facebook page. With Graph Search, Facebook has taken its data and spliced it, indexing it into numerous categories that make it easier for people to discover results when they search using natural language terms.
For instance, if someone wants to find photographs of their friends tagged at Yellowstone National Park, he or she can type in "photos of friends at Yellowstone." If they want to broaden that search, they can alter a search query to "photos of friends at national parks." Like Google, results begin to show up as a user types in their query.
At the event, Facebook also tried to blunt potential concerns about what the search feature means for privacy. The social network, which has been criticized in the past by consumer advocates for its handling of user data, said it would only allow users to see information that is already accessible to them.
In addition, before the search product is released to the entire social network, users will see a notification on the top of their home page, urging them to review what personal data is exposed to Graph Search.
"Privacy, as part of this product, is so deeply built in," Mr. Zuckerberg said.
The Graph Search project began in earnest in mid-2011, when Lars Rasmussen, Facebook's director of engineering for search, showed Mr. Zuckerberg a demonstration of a basic prototype.
During the meeting, held in Mr. Zuckerberg's conference room, Mr. Rasmussen said the search team could build an engine that could show instant results, drawing from across the social network. Mr. Zuckerberg liked the idea, but was skeptical.
"He said you'll never make that work, but if you can it will be awesome," said Mr. Rasmussen, who led the project with Tom Stocky, Facebook's director of product management for search.
Facebook's search team, which numbers more than 50 people, pushed hard in the final months on the project, with the team on "lockdown"—essentially a crunch period—for 34 days during the winter, Mr. Stocky said. During that time, Mr. Zuckerberg made frequent night visits to the group.

Rated 5 out of 5�by laxdad33 Great learning stick for mid beginners. Get this stick. This is my 10 year old son's second stick as I felt the youth stick was just a bit small and he really wanted a "regular" stick. I find that with this stick he as eels to be handling the ball better and is picking grounders better as well. Shot speed and accuracy have increased too. All around a great mid beginner stick that actually does seem to help improve overall skills April 29, 2014

Accidentally Sneaking Into America from Mexico: A True Story
When I was 18, four friends and I climbed through a fence in Mexico, forded a stream, and sneaked into the United States in the middle of the night. We didn't do it as a dare, or for the sake of adventure, or even to make some kind of political point about border security. No, there was no point to it at all because we did it entirely by accident. We were very young, very lucky, and impossibly dumb.
This is a true story.
The Preface
At 18 years old, I spent a lot of time thinking about how when I finally died, newspapers would be obligated to say that a man was killed while jumping between moving cars or jumping between pine trees or jumping between stuff I hadn't even thought of yet. They would be forced to acknowledge my corpse as an adult corpse, and that made me endlessly happy. That's not to suggest that I came close to dying when I crossed the border illegally, but I hope it paints a vivid picture of irresponsibility that will act as the backdrop for the entire experience, and gives you a sense of the exact flavor of stupid you're dealing with. Please bear with me, I was just a kid.
Chapter 1: Wherein Unanimous Yet Exceptionally Bad Decisions Lead to Disaster
Our freshman year of college, my friends and I decided we would go to San Felipe, Mexico, for spring break. We drove there in a Dodge Raider, which, if you didn't happen to see us on the highway that day, is essentially a metal lunchbox with windows and wheels. It's a two-door Tetris piece with a top speed of around 70 mph before the doors shake free. Our Dodge Raider deserved to be called a car about as much as I deserved to be called an adult, which was not at all. Still, five of us crammed inside at 3 a.m. with everything we thought we'd need in a foreign country (a stereo, some socks), and we drove for eight hours to the Baja coast of Mexico.
During the week we spent there, we slept in a hut at the end of a long, unpaved, and neglected beach road where windblown sand collected into piles like massive speed bumps, or, if you were someone who intended to die someday by way of jumping things, massive ramps. Each night as we'd head back to our tiny hut from town, we'd put on our seat belts, push the accelerator to the floor, and do our best to get all four tires of the car off the ground, because consequences were something only pregnant teenagers had to deal with, and because we were all pretty sure we might be immortal. While it was extraordinarily reckless, we found, even to our own surprise, that you can jump a Dodge Raider multiple times without the whole thing falling apart immediately.
Chapter 2: Wherein We Prove That No One Can Jump a Dodge Raider Multiple Times Without the Whole Thing Falling Apart Eventually
Nash Photos
Our car, to the credit of Dodge, returned our nightly launches of abuse with nothing but steadfast dependability; it stayed alive and functional the entire time we were in San Felipe. It wasn't until three hours into our trip home when, in the middle of the Mexican desert, something under the hood made a permanent sound and the whole front end erupted in smoke. We pulled over and let the Raider catch its breath, popping the hood and pretending to know what we were looking for. When the steam finally cleared, none of us had to pretend anymore: The engine block we had so callously mistreated was cracked down the middle like a broken heart.
We didn't have much choice but to stand on the side of an empty road, swatting mosquitoes and speculating on whether or not that was the kind of thing a mechanic could hot glue back together. Cellphones weren't nearly as ubiquitous then, and they certainly didn't work in the deserts of foreign countries, so we burned an hour throwing rocks and errant beer bottles and waiting for another car that hopefully wasn't filled with a family of murder rapists or something who were also on vacation.
Chapter 3: Wherein a Family Saves Our Lives (And Murder Rapes None of Us)
Just before sunset, a nice man with a dump truck and a 6-year-old pulled over and offered to help. He wrapped hauling straps around the bumper of the Raider before tying them to his own tow hitch. He offered to take us all the way to the border town of Mexicali, but from there we were on our own. He also had an extra seat in his truck, and so I agreed to sit up front with him and his son, even though I spoke the least amount of Spanish and I am famously terrible with children.
We drove through the night for another two hours before reaching Mexicali. I offered what little Spanish I had as small talk, but it turned out that, no, neither of them knew where the library was or if there was water in the pool. The rest of the ride we just listened to the radio or the sound of my friends in the Dodge Raider pulling the emergency brake every time the rope gained a little slack and threatened to throw them into the back of the dump truck.
It wasn't until we were deep in the heart of Mexicali that our savior looked in his rearview mirror and said in slow, deliberate Spanish so that I could understand, "Your friends are gone."

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Success and failure stories associated with gene editing approaches based on zinc finger nucleases and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) have been making headlines at an increasing frequency lately. This largely stems from hopes that the technique will allow high-precision and high-efficiency modifications in a target gene sequence to produce basic research tools and to enable dramatically improved gene therapy.
The sequence specificity of these new agents is based on the precise recognition of DNA base pairs by conserved transcription activator-like (TAL) protein domains. A hybrid protein composed of series of TAL units assembled to target a specific DNA sequence, in combination with nuclease variant, can bind the specific genomic DNA stretch and effect a double-strand break in the sequence. In turn, the double-strand break is typically repaired through nonhomologous end-joining or homology-directed repair with the end result being a modified sequence in the target of interest.
In principle, the large-scale generation of candidate gene editing tools should enable rapid testing and identification of the best agent to be used for a particular target (i.e., the one that edits at the highest efficiency and with minimal off-target effects). However, the majority of methods that permit the combinatorial assembly of these multidomain proteins are low throughput and at present the highest throughput platforms have largely remained proprietary. Here, a readily available high-throughput solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis and DNA processing platform, based on the capture and manipulation of nucleic acids attached to magnetic beads, is being used to create a prototype for assembly of TALENs (see Figure).
The authors* generated a collection of 376 plasmids coding for one, two, three, or four TAL effector repeats comprising all possible combinations of base pair binders (see Figure). Automated assembly was made possible by the iterative use of the magnetic beads–based platform to run protocol steps of serial restriction digest, purification, and ligation. The authors further optimized the platform to process 96-well plates in combination with a pipeting robot; with this streamlined platform, 96 combinations of TAL repeats could be produced in 1 day. Scale-up validation was performed to generate plasmids encoding 48 TALEN pairs targeted to different sites in the EGFP reporter gene, and the resulting TALENs were tested in human cells for their ability to disrupt the EGFP gene; all 48 TALEN pairs were found to exhibit significant activities.
During the pilot studies the authors noticed that shorter-length TALENs, while showing similar activity compared with longer-length TALENs, were more cytotoxic in human cells. Although the phenomenon was not studied in detail, the toxicity of the shortmers may well have been due to off-target effects, and this finding should serve as a useful guideline for future TALEN designs.
Lastly, to test the applicability to a wide range of gene targets, the authors used the platform to manipulate 78 genes associated with cancer and 18 genes implicated in epigenetic regulation. Analysis of the outcome indicated an overall success rate of 88%, with TALEN efficiencies ranging between 2.5% and 55.8% (Table 1 in the article).*
While the present study did not touch upon the pertinent subject of off-target effects of the newly constructed TALENs, the technology's efficiency should enable multiple research teams to generate medium- to large-size collections of effectors to study this aspect of gene editing.
Engineered transcription activator–like effector nucleases (TALENs) have shown promise as facile and broadly applicable genome editing tools. However, no publicly available high-throughput method for constructing TALENs has been published, and large-scale assessments of the success rate and targeting range of the technology remain lacking. Here we describe the fast ligation-based automatable solid-phase high-throughput (FLASH) system, a rapid and cost-effective method for large-scale assembly of TALENs.
We tested 48 FLASH-assembled TALEN pairs in a human cell–based EGFP reporter system and found that all 48 possessed efficient gene-modification activities. We also used FLASH to assemble TALENs for 96 endogenous human genes implicated in cancer and/or epigenetic regulation and found that 84 pairs were able to efficiently introduce targeted alterations. Our results establish the robustness of TALEN technology and demonstrate that FLASH facilitates high-throughput genome editing at a scale not currently possible with other genome modification technologies.

A 42-year-old man who had barricaded himself in his home with access to a shotgun ended a more than 15-hour standoff by leaving his Town of Hamburg home without further incident at mid-afternoon Monday, authorities said.
No other details were available about how the standoff ended, some time between 3 and 3:30 p.m., when the man was taken into custody.
SWAT Team members and police officers from the Town of Hamburg, Cheektowaga and the Erie County Sheriff's Office negotiated with the man throughout the morning and early afternoon. Police have said they didn't believe anyone else was in the residence with him.
The incident began before midnight Sunday, when the man's girlfriend went to the Town of Hamburg police station to report that he was distraught, had access to a shotgun and had made suicidal threats.
Patrol officers responded to the residence, in the Big Tree Road-Eaglecrest Drive area, where they saw the armed man inside, set up a perimeter and called out the Town of Hamburg SWAT Team. Negotiations began and continued through mid-afternoon.
The standoff reached the 15-hour mark at about 2:40 p.m., forcing authorities to call in the Cheektowaga police SWAT Team to relieve their Hamburg counterparts.
"We've been negotiating with him the whole time," Town of Hamburg Capt. Kevin A. Trask said shortly before 3 p.m. "At times, he seems to be willing to come out, and then he changes his mind."
Town of Hamburg police, who barricaded the street, asked people to avoid going into that area if possible.

Senate confirms Kerry nomination for State Dept.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate overwhelmingly confirmed President Barack Obama's choice of five-term Sen....
Major, I agree. Sad to say, but I think a female sec of state is a bit ineffective against the primates of the arab world. Sad, because (with a few exceptions) Condi Rice & Hillary have done a fairly decent job for us. I hope Sen. Kerry will do a good job. Time will tell as it always does. I will be rooting for him. Not doing so would be unpatriotic.

I doubt any Secretary of State could have done anything different to head off the "Arab Spring". Much of what we are seeing is the dissatisfaction of the younger generation of youth in the Middle East and North Africa combined with the new communications power of social media. It will continue to reshape the world for some time to come.

Beginning in September, Trident Technical College will offer an online Medical Scribe program through its Division of Continuing Education and Economic Development.
This 12-month program – approved by the American College of Clinical Information Managers (ACCIM) – will prepare students for a career as a medical scribe, or clinical information manager. The primary function of a scribe is creating and maintaining patients' electronic medical records, which are created under the supervision of the attending physician.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the medical scribe profession is growing faster than the average for all health occupations and is expected to increase by 21 percent, with a wage scale ranging from $12 to $20 per hour. In South Carolina, the wage is reported at $15.60 per hour.
TTC's Medical Scribe Program is set around medical scenarios, case management, disease processes, medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, coding and other biological processes. There are 13 courses in the Medical Scribe program that will run from September16 to September 30, 2014. Tuition per course ranges from $59 to $338.
Upon successful completion of the Medical Scribe Program, students will be eligible to sit for the ACCIM exam for the Clinical Information Manager Certification and Aptitude Test (CIMCAT).
To register for the program, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 843.574.6152.

Who would've guessed?
When Hyundai entered the U.S. market 25 years ago, no one probably ever expected that the carmaker would be as big of player as it is now, paving the way for vehicles like the Genesis sedan.
It's a success story that dates back to February 1986, when Hyundai (pronounced "like Sunday" – love that commercial) first launched its subcompact Excel model in the U.S. Customer response was immediate, and in just seven months Hyundai had sold its 100,000th Excel.
At the time, a lot of carmakers had abandoned the entry-level market in favor of high-end, high-priced vehicles, leaving a large void in the market. Hyundai saw a niche for first-time car buyers such as college students and young families were not able to find adequate, value-equipped cars that met their needs that were affordable.
The Sonata was introduced in the U.S. market in 1988. In 1998, Hyundai added a 10-year 100,000 warranty to cars sold in the U.S. as part of an aggressive marketing strategy.
Helping to further position Hyundai in the U.S. market, in April of 2002, the carmaker broke ground in Montgomery, Ala., for its first U.S. automobile assembly plant, a $1 billion investment, employing nearly 2,000 people.
Scott Margason, director of product planning Hyundai, says there are several things that have contributed to Hyundai success.
"First is the huge improvement in quality," noted Margason. "We are now ranked with J.D. Power and Associates at a higher (quality) level than a few select luxury players. Safety is another part, especially when it comes to standard safety features."
Those are some of the basics that have helped better position Hyundai in the U.S. market, said Margason.
"What you are seeing now and since the Genesis launch is moving beyond the basics to vehicles that have emotional appeal," Margason. "Genesis has been really successful with changing people's perceptions about the type of products we can produce."
Dubbed as a "premium" sports sedan, when launched in 2008 the Genesis was Hyundai's first rear-wheel-drive vehicle and a direct stab at major competitors in the full-size sedan segment including a number of luxury carmakers.
The Genesis, which won the North American International Car of the Year honor in 2009, features interior details like wood and leather trim with double stitching and a number of technology features including push-button start and a multimedia system with an iPod, HD Radio, Navigation w NavTraffic and 8" display with DVD playback.
It's even available with a Lexicon 7.1 surround sound audio that includes an 11-channel digital amplifier and 17 speakers, producing 528 watts, which aside from Genesis, is only available in the Rolls Royce.
According to Hyundai, the Genesis clocks a 0-60 time of 5.7 seconds, which is faster than the BMW 750i, BMW 550i, and Lexus LS 460. And it has a sticker price substantially lower than any other vehicle in its class.
Still, it's the styling of the Genesis that has really lured people in, which Hyundai unleashed last year in a sportier coupe model.
It's what Hyundai refers to as "fluid sculpture," a design language that makes the vehicle seem that it is in motion. The new 2011 Sonata and Tucson, on display at the 2010 North American International Auto Show, are the latest vehicles unveiled by Hyundai to feature the styling cues.
It adds to a Hyundai line-up that's now a long way from the days when the company's cars were known just for their affordability.
"We are the company that can bring all the practical attributes in vehicles that you can be excited about," said Margason.
1986: Enters the U.S. market with the Excel.
1988: Hyundai Introduces Sonata Sedan to U.S. market.
1998: Adds a 10-year 100,000 warranty to cars sold in the U.S.
2001: Introduces Santa Fe SUV.
2002: Breaks ground in Montgomery, Ala., for its first U.S. automobile assembly plant.
2003: Makes safety side air bags standard.
2007: Introduces new Genesis

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will sponsor a Championship Fiddlers Concert to benefit Elks Charities at Harper-McNeeley Auditorium on the campus of Davis & Elkins College at 7 p.m. Friday.
Fiddlers from West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio will participate in the family event, which organizers say also will include a surprise celebrity appearance.
Special local guests include the Elkins High School Band, which will play the national anthem, and the American Legion Color Guard, which will present the colors.
Elkins Lodge 1135 was chartered in 1909.
"Through the efforts of our members and with the support of our community, we have proudly entered into our second century of service to our community," local Elks representative Stanley Teets said. "Locally, the Elks supports youth baseball and football programs, youth scholarship and veterans programs, along with other community based service projects."
Teets explained that no matter where you go in the United States and its territories, an Elks Lodge is right around the corner. With more than 850,000 members and 2,000 lodges nationwide, Elks are providing charitable services that help build stronger communities.
The Elks, a fraternal organization, was formed in 1868. In 1928, the Elks National Foundation (ENF) was formed to continue and increase the charitable and community service work of the order. Since inception, the ENF has contributed more than $324.6 million toward Elks' charitable projects nationwide.
"These funds enable programs that support youth, scholarships, honor veterans and meet needs in the areas where Elks live and work," he said. "Our programs continue to grow each year, allowing Elks to do even more to build stronger communities. We appreciate the support of our community."
Tickets will be sold at the door. The cost is $10 for adults, children younger than12 enter free of charge.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - Eyes taking in the grand Orange Bowl scene, Tajh Boyd stepped out into a pleasantly breezy South Florida evening and immediately heard jeers. Two middle-aged male Ohio State fans wearing scarlet "Go Bucks" T-shirts and seated just above the Sun Life Stadium tunnel leading to the Clemson locker room implied he was overrated.
As if the Tigers' star-crossed senior quarterback - the best to play at Clemson - wasn't inspired enough Friday night.
Boyd six snaps into the game made like Usain Bolt, dashing 48 yards straight to the end zone.
He also threw five touchdown passes, ignited a third-quarter rally and finished with a classic fourth-quarter comeback in a 40-35 victory over No. 7 Ohio State.
Boyd left the field with a big smile and a black "Orange Bowl Champions" ballcap as Tiger fans chanted his name.
"I couldn't pick a better way to go out as a senior," Boyd said.
Ulimately: "Tajh has set a bar to play quarterback at Clemson at a high standard," offensive coordinator Chad Morris said. "Not just his actions on the field, but off the field. Everything counts."
It was one broad splash of bright orange paint added to whatever you think about Boyd's Clemson career.
"He put an exclamation point on his legacy," head coach Dabo Swinney said after Boyd threw for 378 yards and rushed for 127.
Swinney is right; it was one of Boyd's best games, right up there with the glitzy comeback performance in a 25-24 Chick-fil-A Bowl upset of LSU last year.
But it's an odd legacy just the same.
'We've got this'
Boyd (32-8) tied Rodney Williams (32-10-2) for the Clemson record for career wins by a quarterback. He has thrown more than twice as many career touchdown passes as Charlie Whitehurst, the next guy on the Clemson list.
After that, the legacy thing gets fuzzy.
Two BCS bowl appearances.
But an 0-3 record against a certain arch-rival.
An ACC championship.
But a painfully fresh 51-14 home loss to No. 1 Florida State in October (backup Cole Stoudt was in for the final touchdown).
The Orange Bowl had a few more mixed messages.
Early in the second quarter, Boyd had efficiently completed 12 of 14 passes - but with a mud-ugly flip pass on third-and-goal from the 6. The floater was intercepted by Ohio State safety Vonn Bell.
Tight end Stanton Seckinger never lost faith.
"Dude, that man has ice-water in his veins," he said of Boyd. "After that interception, he came back in the huddle and said, 'We've got this; they haven't stopped us yet.'"
But Boyd threw another interception with 1:27 remaining, a miscue that Ohio State immediately gave back.
The semi-charmed body of work extends to Boyd's NFL draft status. Surely, a three-year major conference starter with top 10 victories over LSU, Georgia and Ohio State over his last 14 starts gets a certified chance.
"Whoever drafts Tajh Boyd, he's going to be awesome for them," Swinney said. "And he will be all-in."
But Boyd might have been no less a prospect after his star performance in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
Ohio State's loss
Boyd was almost a Buckeye and was enamored by his visit to the trophy-laden Woody Hayes Athletic Center in Columbus. He admits to giving former Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel every indication of signing, but committed to Swinney - when Swinney was in Boyd's Virginia home, with Tressel and former Oregon head coach Mike Bellotti waiting outside.
Or so the story goes.
"There's always going to be people out there that talk about what you don't do," Swinney said. "Those people don't do jack. When you're in the arena, you're going to have some failure along the way. That's what helps you grow."
Chased around Sun Life Stadium by angry Buckeyes, Boyd in orange pants at the Orange Bowl came up big in a BCS bowl game while setting more records.
"When we step on the field, we give it everything we've got," Boyd said. "Not for anybody else, but for these guys beside us. What a special way to go out."
Let the legacy debate begin.

LOCKPORT – City leaders struggled behind closed doors Thursday to reach a final agreement with Trek Inc. on a deal that would relocate the Medina electronic instrument maker to the former Harrison Radiator plant.
"We're close," Corporation Counsel John J. Ottaviano said Thursday evening. "We should have something by the end of next week."
Ottaviano said the language had been settled and the only thing holding up completion of the deal was the amount Trek would have to pay to lease two floors of Building 4 in what is now called Harrison Place.
That figure depends on how much it would cost to renovate the vacant, unheated 96,000-square-foot space. That can't be determined until the architect and contractor selected by the city make their calculations.
The architect is Smart Design, a Batavia firm recommended by Thomas Mancuso, the Batavia-based manager of Harrison Place.
The contractor is David R. Chamberlain of Lockport, who hasn't signed his contract yet, Ottaviano said.
Trek is to bring 72 jobs from Medina and add another 26 jobs within three years.
Trek's lease payment must be enough for 210 Walnut LLC, a private but city-controlled entity that owns the complex, to make the payments on a bank loan of up to $4 million needed to pay for the renovation. A $500,000 state grant and a $250,000 cash infusion from the Greater Lockport Development Corp., the city development agency, also are part of the financing.
Ottaviano, Mayor Michael W. Tucker, Planning and Development Director R. Charles Bell and Harry Sicherman, the city's economic development consultant, were involved in the talks with Trek representatives.
The company is to sign a 20-year lease on the space, including a five-year option to expand onto the third floor of the building. Trek also will have a purchase option to buy the whole building, which it can exercise at any time, Ottaviano said.

The Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency agreed to a change of use for vacant land at the foot of the Kensington Expressway, where Catholic Health is planning to build a $46 million, six-story, 140,000-square-foot building.
The headquarters will employ about 700 people, 400 of whom now work in the suburbs, and about 300 who work in other Catholic Health sites in the city. The development also will include a parking deck for 630 vehicles.
The land, at 140 Genesee St., which is between Elm and Oak streets, was going to be used in earlier years for other projects, but none materialized.
The agency's action Thursday updates a 1987 agreement between the agency and Uniland Development, which provided for the development of industrial, office and research facilities in a minimum of 50,000 square feet with parking for 144 vehicles.
The change in scope of the project is not significant, agency general counsel Scott C. Billman told the agency board.
The Planning Board held a public hearing and reviewed Catholic Health's plans Wednesday but is waiting to take action until it receives necessary environmental information.
Board members did not raise any specific objections, though they noted concern for the safety of employees who cross the street near the Kensington exit ramp.
Michael A. Longo, director of planning and design at Uniland, told the board that developers are working with the state Department of Transportation on signaling the intersection and other safety measures.
In other business, the agency adopted an agreement with the city that will allow about $13 million in block grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to flow after months of negotiations between the parties, though it's not clear when that will happen.
A HUD spokesman Thursday just said he thinks the funds will flow "soon."
The same agreement is expected to be adopted by the Common Council on Tuesday.

Stetson University sand volleyball senior Katie DiGirolamo has been selected as one of 12 recipients of a $1500 scholarship awarded by the Florida State League and the Miami Marlins.
DiGirolamo, an intern with the Bradenton Marauders, a class A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, will be recognized during pre-game ceremonies this Sunday at Marlins Park.
The Florida State League Scholarship Committee awarded the scholarships based on financial need and academic success of the applicants. Students eligible for this award must be an employee of, or the child or grandchild of an employee of the participating club and must be at least a high school junior by the 2013 Fall Term.
The scholarship will aid DiGirolamo during her senior year at Stetson, where she majors in General Business Administration with a minor in Sport Business. After completing her degree she hopes to work in the front office of a professional sports team or within a collegiate athletic department.
A six-time Dean's List honoree with a cumulative GPA of 3.93, DiGirolamo was named Stetson's Female Scholar Athlete of the Year for 2012-13 and to the Atlantic Sun Sand Volleyball Academic All-Conference team. She has worked for the Marauders for three seasons, most recently as a Sales and Marketing Intern.
The Miami Marlins have sponsored this program for 14 years and have contributed a total of $136, 500. Florida State League President Chuck Murphy stated, "This program is one of the best things we do in the League and I congratulate the Directors and General Managers on their dedication and enthusiasm in administering this program." The purpose of the program is to send a message that an education is key to success in life.
The Bradenton Marauders contributed to this report.

power has become an important competitor in the race for clean
energy, but like many newer developments, it needs some work. One
issue associated with wind power is bat and bird-related fatalities
due to the spinning blades of the turbines. However, researchers may
have solved this problem with a slight
change in speed.
Arnett project leader from the Bat
Conservation International in Austin, Texas, along with John
Hayes, co-author of the study from the University
of Florida, have studied bat fatalities
associated with wind turbines and concluded that altering
the speed slightly would reduce a large percentage of these deaths.
turbines within the United States are programmed to start producing
power when wind speed reaches 8 or 9 mph. The speed at which wind
turbines begin producing power is the cut-in speed, and those with a
low cut-in speed tend to run more often than those with a high cut-in
speed because they begin running at lower speeds in the first place.
Hayes and their research team recorded bat fatalities while observing
12 out of 23 turbines at the Casselman
Wind Project in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. They stayed
for 25 summer and fall nights in 2008 and 2009 (because wind speeds
are low this time of the year), and found that the less time a wind
turbine is running, the better because bats cannot
be harmed by blades that aren't in motion. Following this logic,
Arnett suggests raising the cut-in speed of wind turbines to 11 mph,
which would result in a reduction of bat fatalities by approximately
44 to 93 percent and an annual power loss of less than one percent.
is the only proven mitigation option to reduce bat kills at this
time," said Arnett. "If we want to pursue the benefits
associated with wind energy, we need to consider the local ecological
impacts that the turbines could cause. We have already seen a rise in
bat mortality associated with wind energy development, but our study
shows that, by marginally limiting the turbines during the summer and
fall months, we can save bats as well as promote advances
in alternative energy."
notes that reducing bat fatalities is essential because bats help
with pollination and pest management, making them an important part
of ecosystem health nationwide.
do you see such a win-win result in a study," said Arnett.
"There is a simple, relatively cost-effective solution here that
could save thousands of bats. This is good news for conservation and
for wind energy development."
study was published in Frontiers
in Ecology and the Environment on
November 1.
quote: The same people that do these studies also state that turbines kill birds
quote: For bats, vision is important for foraging and homing, and for predator avoidance. Mesopic vision (at light levels that stimulate both the rods and the cones) is particularly relevant at dusk and dawn and on brightly moonlit nights. For flower-visiting and nectar-feeding bats like those studied here, UV vision should increase foraging success, as many flowers visited by bats show UV reflection.
quote: While the total number of birds killed in the US each year fluctuates, Michael Fry of the American Bird Conservancy estimates that US wind turbines kill between 75,000 and 275,000 birds per year.
quote: Blade rotational speed was a significant negative predictor of collisions with turbine blades, suggesting that bats may be at higher risk of fatality on nights with low wind speeds
quote: This followed previous research that showed that bats can have their lungs ruptured from the sudden low pressure of passing turbine blades: the bats are actually drowning in mid-air. It is not necessary for the bats to collide with the turbines, bats don't even need to come in physical contact with the turbine blades. A blade passing close by is enough to be fatal—an unexpected hazard that was previously unsuspected.
quote: Yet a July 2008 study of the wind farm at Altamont Pass, California, estimated that an average of 80 golden eagles were killed there by wind turbines each year.

The scientists and engineers who use OSC find interaction in the research community to be central for the advancement of computational methods within and between disciplines. To ensure a productive environment for research, an active Statewide Users Group (SUG) provides the director with program and policy advice. SUG meets twice a year and is headed by a chairperson elected yearly from the SUG membership. The SUG has established Allocations, Software and Activities, and Hardware and Operations standing committees to assist in providing advice and direction to the Center.
All principal investigators on OSC projects can be SUG members and committee members.
Click here for information on becoming a SUG member.
SUG Meeting Minutes and Agendas prior to January 10, 2013 are available online here.
SUG Meeting Minutes and Agendas after January 10, 2013 are available online here.
Allocations Committee
The SUG Allocations Committee oversees a peer review grant process that allocates system resources to all academic users of the Center. Peer review through an on-line form followed by peer panel review guarantees access by all eligible principal investigators and guarantees the State of Ohio that the research conducted at the Center meets nationally recognized standards. This group also reviews proposals from the Software and Activities Committee for system access to support their programs.
Hardware and Operations Committee
The SUG Hardware and Operations Committee advises the OSC director on user needs and priorities for hardware configuration and aquisitions. It reviews proposals for all major hardware acquisitions for both the Ohio Visualization Laboratory and other public OSC services. The committee is also responsible for discussing policy, procurement, and operational issues.
Software and Activities Committee
One priority of SUG is to advise the OSC director on acquiring outstanding software requested by the user community. Commercial and user software supported by the Center is reviewed for availability of the resource, clarity of documentation, quality of user interface, ease of use, logical development of the presentation, effectiveness, contribution to OSC resources, and degree of restrictions. The Software and Activities Committee oversees a program that supplies academic writers of useful software with system time for porting in return for long-term access to the software for OSC users.

Reese Witherspoon Arrest Videos Hit the Internet
It's not a performance Reese Witherspoon will ever be proud of.
Videos of her arrest for disorderly conduct are now all over the web, following their release by police.
Taken by an Atlanta police dash cam during her husband Jim Toth's DUI traffic stop, the videos show the actress getting out of the car and berating an officer before he handcuffs her.
"Do you know my name sir?" she asks. When the officer says he doesn't need to know, she says, "You're about to find out who I am!"
At another point she says, "I'm an American citizen" and that "I'm allowed to stand on American soil." She then warns, "You better not arrest me."
Toth is heard trying to calm her down and even apologizes to the officer for her behavior. "I'm sorry, I had nothing to do with that," he says.
On Thursday morning, hours before the videos' release, Witherspoon, 37, went on Good Morning America to issue a mea culpa, saying that she had been drinking earlier and "panicked."
"I know better. It's just unacceptable," she said.
Witherspoon later Thursday entered a plea of no contest for disorderly conduct and paid a $100 fine; Toth pleaded guilty to DUI and ordered to perform community service and attend an alcohol education program.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Since opening in the 1980s, North Tahoe Physical Therapy has established itself as a local hotspot for all things PT.
North Tahoe Physical Therapy offers a variety of treatments, including myofascial release, hands-on work and exercises, for at-home treatment. Plans are customized for each patient and injury.
Jane O'Brien, the current owner, purchased the practice in 2004, and expanded the business to have a Reno location as well.
"I came down here because I wanted to have a bigger market, and access to patients with (a wider variety of problems)," she explained. "The more you see the more you learn."
While O'Brien lives in Incline Village, she splits her time between the two practices. With more than 15 years of experience in physical therapy, she has worked at several different practices, including spending time as a traveling physical therapist.
NTPT is a "very hands on clinic," O'Brien said, adding that the personalized treatments involve a lot of time using hands to treat the patient, rather than simply giving patients exercises to do. Citing orthopedic injuries (such as ALC reconstruction or rotator cuff injuries) as their most common injury, NTPT uses different techniques to help heal patients.
O'Brien is the only physical therapist in the area that has a Certificate of Achievement in Pelvic Physical Therapy, which she uses to treat dysfunctions of the pelvis. These evidence based treatments allow her to treat patients who have various degrees of pelvic pain, including pain during intercourse and erectile dysfunctions.
NTPT also uses myofascial release in its treatments, used to relieve pain.
"It is the cornerstone of our treatments (at NTPT)," O'Brien said. "I've been practicing this technique for over 12 years."
Myofascial release is used to elongate the connective tissues in the body to release restrictions. Restrictions occur from a variety of reasons, including injury, trauma, stress or poor posture. Myofascial release treatments are hands-on and often include whole-body treatments, to relieve stress in other areas of the body that may be affecting the injured area.
"Many people love myofascial release so much that they schedule myofascial release sessions on a regular basis instead of massages," O'Brien added. "It's great for those needing to relax, release stress and become grounded."
O'Brien added that myofascial release helps with the pelvic work the practice does as well, often times leveling the pelvis to aid in ankle or feet issues.
While each patient and injury is different, often times NTPT will have multiple visits with patients, and an at-home program as well. O'Brien explained that injuries often take several weeks to heal, sometimes with two visits per week.
"We'll change (the treatment) depending on what the needs of the patient are," she added.
At-home exercises are an essential part of the treatment, O'Brien said.
"We start patients on home treatments immediately," she said. "(This allows them) to work on their own."
While these exercises are important, O'Brien stressed that nothing is better than going in for treatment with the physical therapists.
"There's a lot of skill involved in what we're doing for that patient. Sometimes the home exercise program isn't enough," O'Brien said.
NTPT also offers short 15-minute sessions for minor aches and pains. These sessions do not require an appointment or referral beforehand.
"We can work on that minor problem that people have to get some relief," O'Brien said.

LOCKPORT – An 18-year-old Cambria man was given one year on interim probation Friday as State Supreme Court Justice Richard C. Kloch Sr. sought clues to help him decide whether to send the teenager to jail for child molestation.
The defendant, eligible for youthful offender status, pleaded guilty Sept. 21 to second-degree sexual abuse for sexual contact with a 9-year-old girl Dec. 28. He faces up to a year in jail.
"I'm worried about you," Kloch told the defendant as he cited the similarities between his crime and those committed by a man whom the state Attorney General's Office is currently trying to have committed to a mental institution for the rest of his life under the state's civil confinement law.

A Holland man was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated early Wednesday, after a witness called authorities to report a possibly intoxicated man at a Town of Elma gas station, the Erie County Sheriff's Office reported.
The witness saw the driver, identified as Joseph B. Secord, 44, at a gas station on Bullis Road.
A sheriff's deputy arrived and determined Secord seemed intoxicated. Secord was arrested and submitted to a breath test, which indicated his blood alcohol content was 0.26 percent, more than three times the legal limit, sheriff's officials said. Secord was charged with aggravated DWI because his BAC was more than 0.18 percent.

WASHINGTON -- A consultant hired by tornado-hit Washington has calculated a higher damage estimate that could make the central Illinois town and the state eligible for federal disaster help.
City Administrator Tim Gleason said during a forum Thursday that the initial dollar estimate was $5.8 million. That had local officials fearful they might not get federal assistance. It also raised doubts the state would reach the $17.8 million threshold for help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Now, the town's figure for debris removal alone is up to $12.4 million.
According to the Journal Star in Peoria, the revised total comes from a North Carolina consultant hired by Washington.
Mayor Gary Manier says he's now optimistic.
Some two dozen tornadoes struck the state on Nov. 17, but Washington was hardest-hit.

Ever since the discovery of DNA's double-helix structure, life scientists have been interested in somehow introducing foreign nucleic acid molecules into a host cell and expressing the genes encoded by it. Transfection is one of the most popular methods for doing so in mammalian cells.
There are currently several transfection reagents available for research use, and more were recently introduced at the Society for Biomolecular Sciences (SBS) annual meeting. The meeting provided an update on transfection technology and reviewed some of the most recent additions including both electroporation-based and chemical-based transfection technologies.
At the SBS meeting, James Brady, Ph.D., director of technical applications at MaxCyte, presented data on a rapid, automated, and scalable electroporation-based transfection technology. It was originally developed for clinical applications but now has broader research applications including high-throughput drug screening.
The basic experimental outline for using this technology for clinical applications is: select patients with a specific disease; remove cells from the patient; transfect with plasmid DNA, messenger RNA, siRNA, proteins, or small molecules that enhance the biological activity of the cells using this technology; inject these transfected cells with enhanced potency back into the patient; and monitor response.
"Although electroporation has been around for quite a while, we have developed a scalable method that can electroporate as few as half a million or up to 10 billion cells at one time in less than 30 minutes," said Dr. Brady. "We sell our system to pharmaceutical companies that want to generate batches of cells for screening specific target molecules or specific reporters, and they want to avoid all the time and effort that is needed to make a stable cell line or to use an expensive transfection reagent."
At the meeting, Dr. Brady and his colleagues provided data that was generated by some of MaxCyte's customers showing that the technology has been used to screen ion channels, GPCRs, and other targets.
"This technology works with a variety of critical targets and a variety of important cell types. It gives you assay results that are comparable to that in stable cell lines, and it can generate the cells much more quickly," Dr. Brady concluded.
