Yeah you had confused Chameleon for Invisibility. I picked up on this because I've played countless hours on the ES series so am excessively familiar with game breaking spells like Chameleon.
Chameleon would make you visible if you took any aggressive action, such as stealing or attacking, but invisibility was different. I think it was designed that you were only supposed to be at 20% invisibility, meaning you could be invisible if your enemy had a low enough awareness. But if you added several pieces with 20%, the effect was cumulative, so you could be completely invisible to every enemy. Closing down Oblivion gates was a cakewalk, when you could walk right up to the Sigil Stone without ever being attacked once...
About 4 hours into Skyrim now. Spending time doing some of the easier side quests as I get my character stronger.
As far as Oblivion went the spell code is as follows:
Chameleon = M% Chameleon for D seconds
Invisibility = Invisibility for D seconds
So Invisibility has always been an off/on switch, either the spell is active and 100% or it's not and off, and as soon as you pick a lock, cast a spell, observe an item, talk to a person, open a door, anything at all other than just move around, it's gone so there's no feasible way to steal/kill with Invisibility which is why they didn't give you an option of using Sigil Stones to enchant Invisibility on an item in Oblivion, learning from the uselessness of it from Morrowind. Chameleon on the other hand, always a degree of Chameleon that makes the person's appearance more transparent (I avoid the word "Invisibility" so as not to cause confusion) based on the viewing mob/NPC's level, detection strength, player's level, and of course the strength (%M) of Chameleon. Unfortunately I stopped using Chameleon after Morrowind because the spell was simply too much of a gamebreaker. It was easy to find enchanted Chameleon gear in Oblivion, plus usage of Sigil Stones, to keep one's self 100% Chameleon perpetually, which is just way too imba for my tastes. :/
hillbillywingsfan ugh those things beat my ass the first couple times I encountered them in some snow pit. I was still healing myself after a pretty rough encounter with a pit of bandits I accidentally ran into while trying to run toward the Winterhold College when I happened to fall into a pit with a Giant and those things are a huge pain to kill at level 1.
Speaking of levels, I just reached level 4 finally, wasn't even paying attention to the fact that I leveled so many skills on the way I could level a few times, then just trained a couple more when I got to Winterhold -- in the College they have a ton of trainers for magic-related skills.
If there's another complaint I might add, if I didn't already ***** about it, is the UI is excessively clunky and compared to Morrowind+Oblivion alone I find myself spending a great deal more time sifting through menus than I'm comfortable with. If there's a mod that changes this I will happily download it. No idea what the developers were thinking.

And his cap hit is just for one season. Everyone acts as if it is a cap hit the team would be stuck with forever. I don't get it.
He will have to be re-signed or we lose him for nothing. He will want something of decent length and value as he already got big money once and he is 29 looking for that last long term deal. He will be at a similar cap hit or higher imo if re-signed.

The Latham murder-for-hire saga took another strange and tragic twist this week when a central suspect in the case committed suicide by hanging himself in the Georgetown County jail.
It remains to be seen how the death of 38-year-old Samuel Yenawine will affect the federal government's case against his three co-defendants in the alleged plot to kill Mount Pleasant real estate agent Nancy Latham.
Yenawine, of Louisville, Ky., was found unresponsive in the Georgetown County Detention Center at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. Authorities rushed him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The Georgetown County Coroner's Office said an autopsy confirmed that Yenawine died from hanging, and that he had taken his own life.
Still, the State Law Enforcement Division has been called in to investigate the death.
Yenawine was originally jailed in Kentucky after his arrest in April. Federal authorities later moved him to South Carolina and kept him in a jail a county away from his co-defendants, who are lodged in Charleston.
Yenawine's attorney, Bill Butler of Kentucky, demanded a full accounting of Yenawine's death, and said he plans to hire a pathologist to review the autopsy findings.
He said Yenawine had served time in jail and prison before, but he always had been stoic, never suicidal.
"I've known Sam for a dozen years, have represented him for a dozen years," Butler said. "He has been held in solitary confinement and had lots of things done to him before, and he has survived it all."
Butler said he received an anonymous phone call Friday claiming Yenawine had been mistreated in the jail after a cigarette was found in his cell.
Butler said he had not spoken to Georgetown County officials about the incident before his client was found dead, but he plans to press for details about the incident.
"I don't know that mistreatment had anything to do with this, but I'm going to get to the bottom of it," he said.
Carrie Cuthbertson, spokeswoman for the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office, declined to answer questions about Yenawine's stay at the jail. She said the agency would have no comment on his detention while the SLED investigation is pending.
Death a surprise
Yenawine faced federal charges of conspiracy to use interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder for hire, solicitation of murder for hire, use of interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder for hire, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
Yenawine was one of four people arrested in connection with the alleged plot to kill Latham, who is also a state lottery official. Yenawine's girlfriend, Rachel Palmer, 36, of Louisville, Russell Wilkinson, 39, of Louisville, and Yenawine's ex-wife, 37-year-old Wendy Annette Moore, who lives in the Charleston area, also were charged.
Moore's attorney, David Aylor, called the death a tragedy for Yenawine's and Moore's three children. "It's a really sad place for the children and the family members as a whole," he said. Aylor also called the death a surprise, considering Yenawine's prior stint behind bars. "For someone who has done a better part of a decade before, it really adds some shock that it actually happened," he said.
Aylor indicated that on his end, he doesn't believe the death will delay the case from moving forward in the judicial process.
Federal prosecutors in Charleston would not comment because it's a pending case.
Sad and concerned
In addition to facing criminal charges, Yenawine and his co-defendants were being sued by Latham in civil court over the alleged murder plot.
The suit also alleges that Latham's estranged husband, former Bank of America executive Christopher Latham, was involved in the plot with Moore, his live-in girlfriend. He has denied that allegation, and has not been charged with a crime.
Matthew Yelverton, Nancy Latham's attorney, said his client is relieved that she does not have to worry about Yenawine getting out and harming her, but she is sad and concerned for his children.
Yelverton said Yenawine's death well could affect the murder-for-hire case.
"It is one less person who can tell the whole story, and I don't think we've heard the whole story," he said. "I regret that Yenawine won't have the opportunity to redeem himself in this life by telling the whole story."
The alleged plot was foiled when Charleston Police stopped Wilkinson in April while he was shopping for heroin in downtown Charleston. He told them about the scheme and named Yenawine and Moore as conspirators, according to court documents.
Yenawine last appeared in federal court in Charleston on June 5 for a detention hearing. Butler asked that he be released and confined to his Louisville home, but a judge ordered that Yenawine remain locked up until trial.
During the hearing, a federal agent detailed the evidence investigators had gathered against Yenawine, including finding his fingerprints on a "hit package" full of photographs, maps, schedules and other information on Nancy Latham and her family.

Hohner selects ARC for project
Hohner, Inc, recently selected the Greater Richmond ARC to package more that 5,000 Blues Band harps for sale nationwide in music outlets. This is the third year that Hohner, a worldwide manufacturer and supplier of musical instruments with its U.S. headquarters in Richmond, has selected ARC (a not-for-profit organization that serves people with developmental disabilities) for a project.
The work is being carried out by adults with special needs in ARC's Industrial Services program (including John Gentry, pictured). Providing opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities is especially critical as employment opportunities are fewer for those with disabilities than for those without, says the organization.
"We are delighted to have the opportunity to serve Hohner while providing training and work for individuals with developmental disabilities," added ARC's director of business development, Michael Foley.

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
It doesn�t work for everyone, but a new device holds promise for sufferers of sleep apnea who traditionally wear a mask at night to keep their air passages open.
Dr. Ed Razma at the Four Corners Sleep Disorders Center at Mercy Regional Medical Center is treating sleep apnea with the Provent nasal patch, a much less cumbersome device than the mask and machine many are using.
Provent consists of a pair of patches � one for each nostril � about the size of a Band-Aid with one-way valves. They provide the same �continuous positive airway pressure,� or CPAP, as the traditional mask but without the accompanying CPAP machine, which plugs into an electrical outlet.
A sleep study should precede use of either, Razma said, because an overnight stay in the sleep lab can reveal other disorders.
Among the 16 conditions measured as the patient sleeps are brain waves, oxygen level, abnormal movements, air flow through nose and mouth, chest movement, heart rhythms and snoring.
The restriction of air to the lungs because of the collapse of soft tissue in the back of the throat can have serious health consequences as well as produce daytime fatigue and drowsiness.
It�s estimated that about 28 million Americans have sleep apnea, which is characterized by snoring.
The CPAP machine generates pressure to keep air passages open while the patient sleeps, Razma said. The machine is adjusted to the lowest pressure needed to keep airways open.
But the mask is bothersome, and frustration may lead a patient to discard it after a time. The patches are lightweight and easy to apply.
The patch valves restrict the flow of air out, Razma said. As a consequence, air pressure works its way back into the throat to keep it open.
�Research shows that 50 percent of patients benefit from the Provent,� Razma said. �The other 50 percent showed no improvement.�
Sleep apnea, the repeated pauses in breathing � sometimes hundreds a night � can lead, if untreated, to high blood pressure, stroke and heart attacks.
The interruptions and awakenings are generally forgotten when morning comes, but the effects linger. Sleep interruptions can produce fatigue, drowsiness, lack of concentration and lessening of mental acuity during the day.
Sleep apnea affects more men than women. People who are more than 40 years old, overweight or have a nasal obstruction such as a deviated septum are more prone to suffer from sleep apnea.
�A 10 to 20 percent weight loss can improve a sleep apnea condition by 50 percent,� Razma said.
The Provent nasal patch is convenient for people who travel because they don�t have to lug the machine used with the mask. But the patches can be expensive for some, about $60 for a month�s supply because they are used only once.
Provents are not available over the counter, but require a doctor�s prescription.
Recent studies, including one at the University of Wisconsin, link sleep disruptions to increased risk for obesity and diabetes and cancer. The Wisconsin study tracked cancer rates in 1,500 people with sleep problems more than 22 years.
The problem, it�s posited, is that long-term reduction of blood oxygen can trigger the development of cancerous tumors. So stopping people from snoring could help fight tumor growth.
Researchers found that people with severe sleep disorders were 4.8 times more likely to develop cancer than those without such problems.
�The findings are intriguing but preliminary,� Razma said. �They need more research.�
But in a way they make sense because studies show that low oxygen levels stimulate the production of blood vessels which, in the case of cancer, nourishes cancerous cells, he said.
As a general observation, Razma said, new studies seem to link poor sleep with medical problems.
�It seems to show that we should maintain good sleep,� he said. �If we experience poor sleep, we should correct it.�
Dr. Gus Hallin, also at the Four Corners Sleep Disorders Center, said the study is bound to generate comment and further research.
�The findings need to be confirmed,� Hallin said. �But it�s a big study so it�s important.
�The results are plausible because it�s been clearly shown that sleep replenishes the immune system, which is a first line of defense against early cancer,� Hallin said.

For more than 20 years, WildBird has hosted a photography competition that continually draws incredible images of beautiful birds and provides an array of great prizes for the deserving photographers. The photo contest opens in February when subscribers receive WildBird's March/April issue and see the current categories.
With five categories and two entries allowed per category, photographers have 10 chances to win prizes. In total, WildBird's photo contest awards 16 prizes: a grand prize plus a first-, second- and third-place prize for each category.
The photo contest's rules, prizes and entry form appear in WildBird's May/June issue, too, and the deadline for entries generally falls in mid-May. The rules and entry form do not appear online, only in the magazine.
When the judges look at each entry, they consider four primary factors, with the first — focus — being the foremost consideration. The bird's bill and eyes have to appear in tack-sharp focus. Blurriness results in disqualification. The judges also look at action, composition and lighting, but focus remains the most challenging aspect for most participants.
Within this slideshow of the 20th annual photo contest's prize-winning images, you can click on i (Info) to remove the caption from view or click on the brackets to revert to full-screen mode. The right arrow will activate the slideshow, or you can roll your mouse over the thumbnails and click on the desired images.

My favorite PB
Publié par kosherfrugal le Jul 02, 2012
I actually thought my favorite way to eat peanut butter was with chocolate, and after that with honey. Until I tried this product, and now I am a devotee. Peanut Butter and Maple syrup is an amazing combination. I actually requested that iherb start carrying this, and they did - within days! awesome!
very tasty
Publié par Voblina le Sep 03, 2012
it was very tasty
Tastes great, use it with fruits or healthy bread!
Publié par NataliyaKvitka le Aug 28, 2012
All the family is in love with all the peanut butter products in this line! I recommend to use it on the dark bread, multigrain crispy bread, or on sweet fruits. // Понравилось всей семье! Использовали на цельнозерновых хрустиках, на темном хлебе из муки грубого помола, как диппинг для фруктов.
Вкусная арахисовая паста. (Delicious peanut butter.)
Publié par butarev le Sep 03, 2012
Вкусная арахисовая паста с кленовым сиропом. Вкус отличается от аналогичной продукции продаваемой в России. Вкус не приторный. Слегка солоноватый. Утром с кофе самое оно. (Delicious peanut butter with maple syrup. The taste is different from similar products sold in Russia. Taste is not cloying. Slightly salty. Morning coffee with the most it.)
Sisters approval

Bought this to my sister and her family, so haven't tasted it personally but according to them it was very good!
Yummy, yummy, yummy!

The maple syrup - peanut butter combination tastes really good, it's also a little salty and has a slight crunch. Easy to spread and no stir. All in all a very yummy and addictive combination - my favourite peanut butter so far!
Maple Syrup Yumms

fantastic. not too sweet but still delicious, without being too unhealthy. would definitely buy again.
Very nice but too expensive.
Publié par 4754108768665679589 le Jun 03, 2012
This is my second favorite after the cinnamon version. I like it but its expensive for me cos of the shipping charge due to heavy weight of the product itself. the peanut butter is not that expensive, its the shipping for the weight that makes it!
It's nice, but...
Publié par 5329945723409160480 le Apr 29, 2016
Needs more maple flavour. It's basically just peanut butter with a little hint of maple but it's very hard to taste it, you mainly just get the sweetness from the syrup but not the actual maple qualities.

on March 16, 2013 - 9:53 AM
Two people with prior drunk driving convictions were arrested overnight on felony counts of driving while intoxicated.
The first arrest came at about 8 p.m. when an Erie County Sheriff's deputy was dispatched to a non-injury accident on Creek Road in the Town of Sardinia.
The driver, identified as Dustin Linsler, 32, of Springville, allegedly left the scene but was soon tracked down. He was found to be intoxicated and charged with DWI.
At the sheriff's Springville substation, a chemical breath test indicated Linsler's blood alcohol content level was .20 percent – two-and-a-half times the legal limit.
Linsler had a prior conviction for DWI in February 2008. Because of the high BAC and the prior conviction, Linsler was charged with felony and aggravated DWI, along with several other vehicle and traffic violations.
He was taken to the Erie County Holding Center pending arraignment in the Town of Sardinia court.
Then shortly before 3 a.m., a deputy found Aaron Conant, 27, of Brant, slumped over in a vehicle on Erie Road on the Seneca Nation Reservation. He was found to be intoxicated and arrested. He refused to take a chemical breath test. Conant had a prior conviction for DWI from June 2011 which upgraded his charge to felony DWI.
He was taken to the holding center pending arraignment in the Town of Brant court.

The Civil War was far from over 150 ago in April of 1863. The North certainly had the momentum. New Orleans had fallen. The Union had won major victories at Shiloh and Antietam. With the Emancipation Proclamation, President Lincoln had transformed the war from a war simply to preserve the Union to a war to save the Union and end slavery.
In Allan Nevins' memorable phrase, "War became revolution."
In the eyes of white Charlestonians, the president was a hypocrite. A Democratic writer sneered:
"Honest old Abe, when the war first began, denied abolition was part of his plan; Honest old Abe has since made a decree. The war must go on till the slaves are all free. As both can't be honest, will someone tell how. If honest Abe then, he is honest Abe now?"
Victory seemed far from certain in the main theater of the war, Virginia, where Gen. George McClellan would not fight. Northern troops had done badly at Fredericksburg, where, Nevins wrote, in "a short winter's day the Union army suffered the cruelest defeat in its history." There was an outcry in the North at the great losses, and renewed determination to strike a dramatic blow. The idea of a grand naval siege of Charleston, described by the Northern press as the "nursery of disunion" and "the cradle of rebellion," was born from these military setbacks.
The political climate in Washington and especially the desire of the Navy Department to win a great victory with its new ironclad warships (without the help of the army) added a sense of urgency.
Gustavus Fox, assistant secretary of the navy, still smarting from his ignominious failure at Fort Sumter in April 1861, pressed the attack. He was obsessed with capturing this "hotbed of secession." He had, he said, two responsibilities: "First to beat our Southern friends; second, to beat the Army." Fox had even testified before a congressional committee that the monitors were invincible and that a fleet of monitors could compel the surrender of Charleston.
Charleston was not of any great strategic importance; Lincoln was not optimistic; but as the place where "rebellion first lighted the flame of civil war," the city had great symbolic value at a time when the Union needed a symbolic victory.
Adm. Samuel DuPont's chief of staff wrote, "The desire was general to punish that city by all the rigors of war."
Gideon Welles, the secretary of the navy, wrote, "A desperate stand will be made at Charleston, and their defenses are formidable. Delay has given them time and warning, and they have improved them. They know also that there is no city so culpable, or against which there is such intense animosity."
The New York Tribune had written even earlier, "Doom hangs over wicked Charleston. If there is any city deserving of holocaustic infamy, it is Charleston."
From the Confederate point of view, Charleston was the ultimate symbol of the right of the Southern people to be free. It was the very place where Southern nationhood had first begun — politically and militarily. It had to be defended at all costs.
The assault on Vicksburg and the siege of Charleston were part of the overall Union strategy. The siege of Vicksburg commenced in early February, 1863; the fleet which besieged Charleston began concentrating in Port Royal in February and March of the same year.
"The ironclads," the Civil War historian Shelby Foote has written, "might indeed be invincible; some said so, some said not; but one thing was fairly certain. The argument was likely to be settled on the day their owners tested them in Charleston harbor."
Robert N. Rosen, an attorney, is the author of "A Short History of Charleston" and "Confederate Charleston."

Holy moley, we got moles.
Not the kind that ruin your lawn, the kind you find on your face. And arms. And legs. And ears wait, maybe thats just me. Actually, I dont have moles on my ears--yet. But Im ready.
My husband, Widdle Baby, is a brown-eyed handsome man with no molesa few freckles, but no moles. Im fair with gray eyes and more moles than Carters has little pills. (Yall under 40, look it up.)
My dad, who was so swarthy a friend used to call him Creosote, had a couple on his back and scalp and thats it. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) says most people have at least 10 moles, and up to 40 isnt uncommon. Most develop during your first 20 years, but new mole creation typically occurs until about age 40. (Tell that to the new one I found on my neck last week.)
If a mole changes shape or color, or the edges get raggedybasically, if your good old familiar mole starts to look funky, get it checked. My dadyes, he of the few moles--died of melanoma, and my dermatologists dont mess around. Several moles have been removed from my shoulders and back because a derm thought they looked suspicious. Thats reason enough for me.
I have a cute little mole about an inch below my navel; its a good guide for underwear and bathing suit bottoms. And recently I had two moles removed from my face.
I liked them because my mother described them as beauty marks. Both were round, black and slightly raised. One was on my lower right chin; its cousin was two inches above, just north of my upper lip. I called that one my Cindy Crawford mole, and its the first and last thing Cindy Crawford and I have in common.
Secretly, I thought they made me look a bit exotic. When you grew up on a dirt road in unincorporated Southwest, N.C., you take exotic any way you can get it.
Over time, however, my moles did what moles like to do: They grew. Didnt bother me; I figured noses and ears keep growing, why not moles?
Well, six months ago the young PA at my dermatologists office set me straight. Now, I love this guy: Hes smart, straightforward and funny. I was seeing him for something else when he tilted my head back and said, Have you thought about removing one of these moles?
Never, I said honestly.
You know, one can be very attractive, he said. Two well, that starts looking scary.
I almost fell off the table. OK, which one? I asked.
He didnt hesitate: If you were my mo I shot him a deadly lookI mean, sister, Id remove the one on the chin, he advised.
Two minutes later it was gone, and two weeks later you couldnt tell it had ever existed.
Eventually, the mole on my upper lip grew even larger, and completely lost its pigment. I went to Widdle and said, Tell me the truth. Does this look like a big fat wart? He paused. Well, ah honey
Never mind, I said, and two weeks later that one was gone too.
Now I have no moles on my face. And its funnyits like Ive lost landmarks. Im still surprised when I look in the mirror and theyre gone. Oh, well. Im sure a couple more will pop up to replace them.
Now, if we could just do something about the hairs on my chin

The Lighting Designs of Serge Mouille
By the early 1950s, Mouille had become the head of the silversmithing department at the School of Applied Arts, and was working in different metals and idioms as well. In 1952 or '53, the famous designer Jacques Adnet approached Mouille and asked him to design a modern floor lamp that would look good in the large open spaces of the homes of Adnet's South American clients. Adnet and Mouille were both evidently disdainful of what they called the "too complicated" lighting designs coming out of Italy in the early '50s. In reaction, Mouille created his three-arm floor lamp (images 3 & 4).
With this lamp, Mouille established design precedents that remained consistent through the remainder of his career. Most prominent, of course, is the unique shape of the metal lamphead of most of Mouille's lamps, which is oblong and organic-looking, and topped by what can only be described as (ahem) a nipple. What this nipple allowed was for the wiring and hardware of the light bulb to be recessed inside, maximizing the reflective surface of the inside of the lamp head (images 1-5). Other Mouille lampheads took different forms, including snails (image 6) or ovoid shapes (image 7).
Mouille's most famous lighting fixtures were handmade in black-lacquered aluminum lampheads on tubular steel supports, and were assembled with distinctive 6-sided screws and brass ball-and-socket joints. Mouille's intent was that the brass would oxidize to a brown-bronze patina. The arms of Mouille's lamps join elegantly to the main 'trunk' support, so the profile of even the largest lamps can be minimized. The legs of his floor and table lamps branch out, clawlike, into a three-legged support that gives the pieces a sense of personality and whimsy. These lamps have been described as "insect-like."
In the early 1960s, Mouille produced a new series of lamps. These "Colonnes," lights were, as their name suggests, columns of anodized aluminum (image 8). Resembling skyscrapers lit from within, the Colonnes made use of new developments in tubular lighting. It was Mouille's last public designs.
A longtime sufferer of tuberculosis, Mouille stopped producing his lighting and got intensive treatment. He devoted the rest of his life to teaching at the École des Arts Appliqués, and producing one-of-a-kind work like jewelry and decorative arts. He died in 1988.
Mouille's work is very popular and there isn't very much of it, so originals are very expensive. Lately, his family has begun making new editions of Mouille's most famous designs, using the same materials, molds and tools as the originals. These are available through Guéridon in the United States.
The Brooklyn-based designer David Weeks makes a line of lighting fixtures (among many other gorgeous products) that clearly pay homage to Mouille (image 9). I could never tell the difference, but now that I take the time, I realize how distinct Weeks' designs are from the Mouille classics. Instead of Mouille's "nipple" shape, Weeks' lampheads either have an almost avian feel, with a pointed end, or they have more regular geometric forms. Weeks' standing lamps are also very different, with separate arms that are joined using hardware, instead of soldered together like Mouille's. See the difference?

Sources: You can buy original Serge Mouille lighting — if you can find it, and if you can afford it (recent auction prices at Sotheby's were around $50,000 for lighting, $150,000 for Mouille's rare furniture). Or you can buy authorized editions of his original designs, made using the same materials, tools and molds. These are available through Guéridon. The most famous models are available at Design Within Reach, where there is a 15%-off lighting sale through November 9th.

You asked to go deeper, we listened. Stefan and I met with Roopali from the Live Search team.
We had a high-level discussion about the 2nd Pillar in project "Silk Road": the Live Search API 2.0. This is the very same back end used for some little known websites… like Facebook, heard of it?
We'll circle back to Pillars 1 and 3 in future sessions, so stay tuned and keep on rockin'.
Oops, something didn't work.
The thing I like the best about the API is that it integrates relevant information into a single response. This video brings this concept out clearly.
I loved the Hotmail Demo; That sure is "Hotness". Having access to information within the same browser session is amazing.
What came to my mind was 'is it possible to include driving directions into the side panel too, so i could just drag and drop a link to the directions?

This is a classy and sophisticated pen that writes wonderfully. It is easier to use then Levenger True Writer Pens due to not having to screw/unscrew the top.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Microplate-based technology often limits the ability of laboratories to meet current industry demand for highly automated, flexible systems capable of quickly and inexpensively processing large numbers of samples.
Laboratories responding to the demand for high-throughput (HT) capacity must add many identical, isolated workstations to process more microplates. Integrating these processes includes moving microplates between workstations, resulting in either the loss of skilled labor to simple, repetitive tasks or the addition of large, complex, and expensive robotics. When costs are evaluated, many laboratories consider neither to be a viable solution to achieve HT capacity.
New and innovative technologies are required to meet industry demand for highly productive, economical HT processing solutions.
Douglas Scientific's Array Tape™ is capable of replacing microplates for HT screening. Made from a continuous strip of plastic, Array Tape is embossed with reaction wells in SBS or customized arrays (Figure 1). Reaction volumes (1–30 µL), unique well geometries, and non-SBS formats are inexpensively customized in Array Tape compared to microplates. Thin and bendable, Array Tape is spooled onto compact reels (90 mm wide by 560 mm in diameter) holding in excess of 200 microplate equivalents for processing or storage.
Douglas Scientific developed the Array Tape platform to meet the needs of HT laboratories. Platform instrumentation includes modular inline liquid handling and sealing (Nexar®), large-batch thermocycling (Soellex™), and high-speed scanning (Araya®) optimized for Array Tape. Indexing holes running along the edge of Array Tape guide the fully automated movement of the plastic strip through discrete, inline modules where individual arrays of reaction wells are independently processed.
AgBio laboratories increasingly rely on HT automation to screen and identify genetic markers necessary to efficiently develop new and improved plant varieties as well as assure the genetic integrity of established lines.
Douglas Scientific collaborated with Rijk Zwaan to customize modules for their SNP genotyping protocol. On-site validation completed in their Netherlands-based laboratory demonstrated that the highly automated, miniaturized reactions in Array Tape produce high-quality SNP genotyping data comparable to their existing microplate-based platform (Figure 2).
For this validation process, DNA source material was extracted from vegetable leaf tissue using a protocol developed by Rijk Zwaan. DNA (approximately 2 ng/µL) was dispensed into 384-well arrays in Array Tape and 96-well arrays in microplates. Reaction volumes were approximately 50% smaller in Array Tape (800 nL) compared to microplates (2 µL), representing the only significant difference in the reaction assembly between platforms.
Raw data from both platforms was independently plotted and called by Rijk Zwaan and Douglas Scientific with 98.2% agreement. Douglas Scientific used the same call method to show 98.35% agreement in calls for the 4,959 samples run in both Array Tape and microplates (Table). The remaining 1.65% was due to drop-outs called in either Array Tape (1.51%) or microplates (0.14%) but not in both. The drop-out rate of both platforms falls well below the threshold for adequate data quality defined by Rijk Zwaan.
The Array Tape platform proved capable of processing over 200,000 SNP reactions in an eight-hour work day. Throughput advantages are realized through the speed and efficiency of parallel processing in continuous, inline liquid handling, sealing and fluorescence scanning modules, and large-capacity thermal cycling. Specific baseline evaluations at Rijk Zwaan show that, compared to their microplate-based platform, reagent dispense and fluorescent reading are twice as fast in the customized Nexar and Araya modules, respectively.
Thermocycling large batches of samples in Array Tape also dramatically increases throughput potential for users. Three reels of spooled Array Tape (230,000 assay wells) may be processed simultaneously in the Soellex three chambered water bath. Thermocycling a similar number of samples this quickly in microplates would require 18 water baths (32 microplate capacity) or 150 (4 microplate capacity) block heaters. The effect is increased throughput, reduced manual labor, and a smaller laboratory footprint.
The highly automated Array Tape platform with miniaturized reaction wells allows Rijk Zwaan to cut project timelines as well as the cost of labor and reagents. Furthermore, the simplified workflow reduces manual handling of analytical material and frees skilled labor for more productive work.

When newspaper columnist Mitch Albom's book "Tuesdays with Morrie" was released in 1997, it almost immediately became part of the American vernacular. Since then, Albom's autobiographical tale about the lessons he learned from his ailing former college professor has sold more than 15 million copies worldwide and has been adapted into a film and play.
A local production of that play, which has become a favorite of regional and community theater companies across the United States, opens at 7:30 tonight in the Niagara Regional Theatre Guild's Ellicott Creek Playhouse (530 Ellicott Creek Road, Town of Tonawanda). Albom's story, beloved of avid and casual theatergoers alike, draws from his own experience reconnecting with his former sociology professor during weekly visits where he learned lessons about life and death as his mentor's health declines.
Longtime newspaperman Doug Smith – a former editor at the Courier-Express and The News who continues to write zippy theater reviews for the Niagara Gazette and elsewhere – will take on the title role of Albom's beloved play for NRTG for the second time in four years. He'll be joined on stage by M. Joseph Fratello, a Niagara University graduate who has appeared in the company's recent productions of "Jekyll and Hyde," "Broadway in Concert" and "Into the Woods."
Tickets to the production, which runs through Nov. 18, are $10 to $14. Call 284-6358 or visit www.niagaratheatre.com.

Titans Owner Bud Adams Has Passed Away
Professional football lost one of its most influential people Monday when Tennessee Titans owner, K.S. "Bud" Adams, passed away due to natural causes, according to reports.
He was also one of the original eight owners whose teams formed the American Football Leauge 53 years ago.
Adams presided over more wins with his organization, with 409, than any other current NFL owner. And without him, the Titans wouldn't be in Tennessee.

Canadians are generous: Study
07 June 2006
Toronto, Canada: New data released today shed light on how key segments of the population support one another and their communities. The Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating (CSGVP) surveyed 22,164 Canadians in 2004.
The findings highlight the involvement of teens, immigrants, and parents with children in the household and offers first-ever information about giving and volunteering in Canada's northern communities - but also reveals that the majority of this support rests on the shoulders of a small group of Canadians.
Fully 65% of teenagers volunteer for charities and nonprofits, representing the highest level of involvement of any age group. Immigrants
"With this new information, charities and nonprofits can better engage Canadians to improve the quality of life in our communities," reports Dr. Michael Hall, vice president of research at Imagine Canada and lead author of the report.
Overall, Canadians donated nearly $9 billion and volunteered 2 billion hours in 2004. The bulk of this support comes from a narrow segment of the population: 21% of Canadians provide 82% of the value of all donations, and 11% of Canadians account for 77% of all volunteer hours. "Virtually all of us give time and money, but this reliance on so few suggests we've got some work to do," says Dr. Hall.
This comprehensive survey also reveals regional variations. The Yukon and Northwest Territories have the second and third highest rates of volunteering for an organization in the country, and residents of Nunavut have the highest rates of helping each other directly on their own (unpaid babysitting,providing medical or personal care, helping with taxes or shopping).
Workplace support is key in encouraging volunteering. Fully 57% of employed volunteers received some form of non-monetary support from their employer for volunteering; on average, volunteers who benefit from employer support also contribute about one-third more hours than other volunteers.
The Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating is conducted by Statistics Canada and was developed through a unique partnership of federal government departments and voluntary organizations.

Sadly, Toyota has announced their withdrawl from next year's championship. Now, Toyota has one of two options to go here. They can sell their team off to a buyer a la Honda to Brawn; that team would compete in Toyota's spot, as Toyota signed the 2009 Concord Agreement. Toyota could also just drop out completely without selling the team; this would allow Sauber (as the first reserve entry) to become the 13th team. It all depends on what Toyota would do. The "13th Entry" I have on the list is a placemarker of sorts, ready when Sauber (or someone else) is granted the entry.
EDIT: Sauber has been granted the 13th entry pending their signing of the Concorde Agreement.

Members of the Barbour County Board of Education were given some options to consider during their regular meeting Monday regarding the possible addition of a bomb dog, providing after-school hunter education and a personal safety program for students in grade Pre-K to 2.
Barbour County Sheriff John Hawkins addressed the recent bomb threats at Barbour County schools, including one on Jan. 18 that prompted the evacuation of all the county's schools.
"With the recent bomb threats, I have been looking into the most effective ways to search schools and make sure it is clear for students to return," Hawkins said. "The most effective way will be to use bomb dogs. There are none locally, and the closest is in Morgantown. The response time from Morgantown is usually a few hours. If we call dogs in from Charleston, the response time is three to four hours. If we want to get the students back into the schools quickly, it makes sense to have dogs locally."

Sheriff John Hawkins and Deputy Chad Kennedy of the Barbour County Sheriff's Department address Barbour Board of Education members Monday about a possible hunter's safety program after school. The class would be offered three times a year and consists of two classes, each three hours long.
Hawkins said he has been in contact with two local groups.
"Kathy Holbert of Chiodo Kennels made a proposal for a one-time annual fee to obtain a bomb dog," Hawkins said. "She would breed and train a dog and have it for us to use. There would be no additional fees other than the one-time annual fee. Kathy is certified.
"The second person is in the deputy reserves, and would charge hourly for her services," Hawkins said. "One dog cannot effectively search for very long, so I would recommend getting two dogs. They would also be available for use by surrounding counties with a mutual agreement."
Hawkins said, if approved, the goal would be to have the dogs trained and ready to go by the beginning of the next school year. He said he will be making the same proposal to the Barbour County Commission.
"We are at the mercy of those in Monongalia County and the Charleston State Police," Hawkins said. "The FBI dogs in Clarksburg have never been available. Upshur has a firearms dog, but I was always told not to mix anything with a bomb dog.
"This year alone, we have had four bomb threats and we are only half-way through the year," Hawkins said.
"Our goal is the safety of the kids and getting the students back into a safe school as soon as possible. A bomb canine is the best way to do that."
Also during the meeting:
- Deputy Chad Kennedy of the Barbour County Sheriff's Department told board members he is a certified instructor for the hunter's safety course and asked to offer the program after school. He said he hopes to offer the class three times a year. Classes are two days long and each day is three hours.
Superintendent Dr. Joseph Super asked if real guns would be used in the class.
"The Department of Natural Resources provides plastic resin guns that are replica fire arms," Kennedy said. "There is no action to them at all."
Super asked that paperwork suitable for a waiver from the state Board of Education be submitted for approval for the class.
- Local Education Agencies Title 1 Director Jack Reger and Mary McCartney, a parent representative for the Parent Educator Resource Center, addressed board members regarding a new personal safety program.
"The program helps students in grades pre-K through second to learn about good and bad touching," Reger said. "Judy McCauley from Appalachian Community Health in Elkins is going to train Mary (McCartney) for the program. The Family Resource Network will purchase program supplies including puppets. The program also teaches car, traffic and fire safety. Each year builds on the previous year."
McCartney said there are seven lessons, each lasting 30 minutes. Parents would need to complete a permission form for students to participate in the program.
Board President Robert Wilkins said that schedules were already complete and asked what the students would be giving up to add this program into the curriculum.
"The students have time and this would not interfere with their studies," Reger said. "I think if the state came in and saw us using this curriculum, they would applaud it."
"I think the key to this kind of education is it is not taking anything away, but helping support and reinforce our current curriculum," Super said.
The next meeting of the Barbour County Board of Education is slated for 6 p.m. Feb. 11 at the Board of Education office.

COLUMBIA Nine days after becoming South Carolinas all-time winningest football coach, Steve Spurrier on Monday received a two-year contract extension from USCs Board of Trustees. He did not receive a raise.
Spurriers deal was set to expire after the 2015 season and will now run through 2017. Last December, he also received a two-year extension and no raise. Spurrier will turn 68 in April and would be 72 in the 2017 season.
A coach in a stable situation, such as Spurrier is, typically likes to have at least four years remaining on his contract at all times, so he can assure recruits that he has a good chance of coaching them for the duration of their careers.
It sometimes can be difficult in the recruiting process when you have less than four or five years on your contract, said USC athletic director and former baseball coach Ray Tanner, who began talking with Spurrier about the extension in the last seven to 10 days.
In April 2011, Spurrier received a raise that bumped his guaranteed pay from $2 million in 2009 and 2010 to $2.828 million in 2011. He was set to make $2.875 million in 2012 and $2.95 million in 2013-15. But in February, his guaranteed pay for 2012-15 was increased to $3.3 million. Most of his assistant coaches also received raises in February.
Tanner said he and Spurrier did not talk money while discussing the extension that was approved Monday. Tanner said Spurrier actually made a point of telling him that he was financially comfortable, so Tanner expects Spurriers pay to remain at $3.3 million for 2013.
I guess you never say never in this business, but based on my conversations with him, I think hes very comfortable with his (financial) situation, and I think thatll be the case, Tanner said when asked if Spurrier will stay at his scheduled pay for 2013.
Tanner said he is optimistic that Spurrier will coach through the end of his contract. Barring an unforeseen disastrous situation, Spurrier almost certainly will be able to coach USC as long as he wants, since he has been so successful.
Hes in better shape than guys that are a lot younger, Tanner said. He feels good.
A USA Today database listed Spurriers total compensation for 2012 as $3.585 million, which placed him seventh-highest among college football coaches, behind Alabamas Nick Saban ($5.476), Texas Mack Brown ($5.353), Oklahomas Bob Stoops ($4.55), Ohio States Urban Meyer ($4.3), LSUs Les Miles ($3.856) and Iowas Kirk Ferentz ($3.835).
The five coaches behind Spurrier were Auburns Gene Chizik ($3.577), Oregons Chip Kelly ($3.5), Texas Christians Gary Patterson ($3.467), Oklahoma States Mike Gundy ($3.275) and Michigans Brady Hoke ($3.046).
In the Jan. 1 Outback Bowl against No. 19 Michigan, Spurrier will try to lead No. 11 USC to its second straight and second ever 11-2 season. In 2010, the Gamecocks went 9-5 and played in the Southeastern Conference championship game for the first time.
Spurrier, now in his eighth season at USC, won his 65th game in the regular season finale at Clemson, passing Rex Enright, who needed 15 seasons to win 64 games. Spurriers record at USC is 65-37 and 35-29 in SEC play, including 6-2 in each of the past two seasons.
Against ranked opponents, USC is 14-22 under Spurrier, including 7-7 since the start of 2010 and 4-3 since 2011. Against opponents that finished the season ranked, USC is 11-25, 6-7 since 2010 and 5-3 since 2011, presuming the ranked teams that USC went 2-2 against this season finish ranked. They all should, since Clemson is the lowest-ranked of those four, at No. 14.
