Abstract: A method for stably purifying a functional dye, phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis was developed by a hexane extraction process combined with high pressure. This was necessary because this dye is known to be very unstable during normal extraction processes. The purification yield of this method was estimated as 10.2%, whose value is 3%–5% higher than is the case from another conventional separation method using phosphate buffer. The isolated phycocyanin from this process also showed the highest purity of 0.909 based on absorbance of 2.104 at 280 nm and 1.912 at 620 nm. Two subunits of phycocyanin namely α-phycocyanin (18.4 kDa) and β-phycocyanin (21.3 kDa) were found to remain from the original mixtures after being extracted, based on SDS-PAGE analysis, clearly demonstrating that this process can stably extract phycocyanin and is not affected by extraction solvent, temperature, etc. The stability of the extracted phycocyanin was also confirmed by comparing its DPPH (α,α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging activity, showing 83% removal of oxygen free radicals. This activity was about 15% higher than that of commercially available standard phycocyanin, which implies that the combined extraction method can yield relatively intact chromoprotein through absence of degradation. The results were achieved because the low temperature and high pressure extraction effectively disrupted the cell membrane of Spirulina platensis and degraded less the polypeptide subunits of phycocyanin (which is a temperature/pH-sensitive chromoprotein) as well as increasing the extraction yield.

By Carla Mozee and William L. Watts, MarketWatch
LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — The U.S. dollar climbed against most major rivals on Wednesday, with the euro tumbling below $1.28 for the first time since November on renewed political turmoil in Italy.
Remember Italy? The market does
"Oh yeah, Italy. Forgot about that." That's the line in financial markets Wednesday. Photo: Getty Images
The ICE dollar index /quotes/zigman/1652083/realtime DXY +0.06% , a measure of the greenback against six major currencies, settled around 83.244, up from 82.860 in North America late Tuesday.
The WSJ dollar index /quotes/zigman/9625991/realtime XX:BUXX +0.14% , which captures the currency's moves against a slightly wider basket of rival units, rose to 73.76 from Tuesday's close at 73.47.
The euro /quotes/zigman/4867933/realtime/sampled EURUSD +0.1009% hit a low of $1.2749 from Tuesday's level of $1.2861 after Italian Democratic Party Leader Pier Luigi Bersani failed to get support from the anti-establishment Five-Star Movement that would allow his center-left alliance to form a minority government.
The euro settled around $1.2772 after a report about capital controls in Cyprus, another troubled member of the 17-nation euro zone. The Cypriot government plans to put aggressive limits on the amount of cash that can be taken out of the country as it prepares to implement capital controls on Thursday aimed at preventing billions of euros from fleeing the country, The Wall Street Journal reported.
A bailout agreement for Cyprus reached this week requires deposits exceeding 100,000 euros to be taxed to help recapitalize financial institutions.
'Only an insane person would want to govern this country'
As hopes of forming an Italian government appeared to fade, Bersani said that "only an insane person would want to govern this country, which is in a mess and faces a difficult year ahead." Bersani's alliance won a majority in the lower house of parliament in late February elections, but no entity was able to secure a majority in the Senate.
The focus in the currency market has "shifted to Italy, which is a much bigger and more serious problem for the euro zone," said Boris Schlossberg, managing director for FX strategy at BK Asset Management in New York. "The political uncertainty in Italy remains as the country is unable to form a government."
Markets have taken Italy's inconclusive election results and subsequent political wrangling in stride, with borrowing costs remaining subdued. The latest setback appeared to dent demand for a new five-year government bond sold at auction Wednesday, strategists said.
The sale of the new bond produced a yield of 3.65%, the highest at a five-year auction since October, according to Dow Jones Newswires.
Meanwhile, the dollar seesawed against the Japanese unit, which earlier won safe-haven support as European turmoil weighed on equities.
The dollar /quotes/zigman/4868099/realtime/sampled USDJPY +0.1824% changed hands at 94.43 yen versus ¥94.46 late Tuesday, while the euro /quotes/zigman/4868097/realtime/sampled EURJPY +0.3130% fetched ¥120.59 versus ¥121.52. The dollar had earlier climbed as high as ¥94.90.
The British pound /quotes/zigman/4867886/realtime/sampled GBPUSD -0.1579% fell to $1.5124, compared with $1.5162, while the Australian dollar /quotes/zigman/4867876/realtime/sampled AUDUSD -0.2128% fell to $1.0437 from $1.0486.
Among equities, European stock markets fell in the wake of Bersani's remarks about struggling to form a coalition in Italy. The Stoxx Europe 600 index /quotes/zigman/2380150/realtime XX:SXXP -1.25% lost 0.5%. U.S. stocks declined as well.

"I hope someone brings him back," Lanham added.
Flyers have been placed in stores and gas stations around the county. People call the store daily to see if Stanley has returned, especially those who used to stop by just to bring him treats, Lanham said.
"About half of Putnam County is searching for him," Lanham said. She's gotten several calls reporting sightings of a gray and white cat, but none turned out to be him. "I'll get my hopes up and then it's not him."
"His blanket is clean and we have a big bag of treats waiting on him," Stamper said.
If you see Stanley, call the hardware store at 304-757-7255 or 304-757-2469.

Understanding Game of Thrones as an American
Kings Landing = Washington, DC
It's the capitol, it's full of corrupt people vying for titles, and it's built on the backs of the poor. Everyone is vying for the Iron Throne and it's hard to figure out who to root for.
Winterfell = Boston, MA
Beautiful in the summer and uninhabitable in the winter. The inhabitants incorrectly think their city is the center of the empire. It is, however, the only real city in its region. (Providence? Really?) The people there are honorable and resilient, and spend much of their time watching sports. Not many black people.
The King's Road = I-95
A highly trafficked route from Winterfell to King's Landing, the road is littered with inns and merchants. There are also many bandits who live alongside it in dangerous places like New Haven, Newark, and Baltimore.
Beyond the Wall = Canada
It's cold, it's vast, and it's terrifying. But the wildlings are a good people once you get to know them. Also it's governed by a monarch far away who doesn't actually hold any real power in the people's minds.
Castle Black = Canadian Border Crossing
This is all that separates us from the unknown terror of the great white north. Also it's manned by a bunch of humorless guys that don't get laid.
The Iron Islands = Pittsburgh, PA
Cold, wet, gray, and nicknamed for metal, this is a place that was once prominent but is now full of working class people and pirates. And the pirates have been horrible for many years.
Casterly Rock = New York City
The regional capital (and the financial center of the Empire), it used to be ruled by a different group – until they were tricked into trusting a foreigner. Now it's ruled by rich people who think they're better parents than they are.
Lannisport = Greenwich, CT
Situated close to the main city, but far enough away that the citizens don't need to be bothered. Also, it's full of money and incest.
Harrenhal = Chicago, IL
It's rich, and it's on the way to most things. But the governing of it seems to be cursed as no one can rule it for long. And it burnt down once.
Valyria = Detroit, MI
Due to its fearsome beasts with great abilities to travel, this was once the center of the world and a shining jewel of civilization. But then a cataclysmic event rendered it a smoldering ruin of its former glory. The only thing that endures is a bit of their ancient music. And the secrets of manufacturing things there have long been forgotten.
Dorn = Napa Valley, CA
Remote area known for women, wine, and boringness.

Alec Baldwin and Miley Cyrus made appearances during Norton's opening monologue, with 16-time host Baldwin offering Norton some tips — and Baldwin deadpanning that his turn in American History X was "hilarious." Cyrus basically promoted her upcoming tour and twerked later on in the episode (sigh).
Edward Norton will host Saturday Night Live when the show returns on Oct. 26. It will be Norton's first time hosting the show, though he has appeared in sketches before, as far back as 1999.

Wait, I'm sorry. Apple hardware is on-par price wise with PC computers and better components? No way. That is just not true.
There are soooo many different PC brands that sell the same raw part configuration of an Apple computer for less than the Apple sticker. Once you break open that Mac, the inside core components are not superior to a PC. Intel is intel, NVidia is Nvidia, etc... Apple sources their stuff from the same place many PC makers do to. It isn't like they put magic dust on their hard drives to prevent them from crashing any more than another drive out there.
Now, design, flare, a sense of being part of a member's only club. That Apple has in spades. Apple does deliver on the pretty. But I can hit a Frys and build out a computer to run circles around a $4000+ mac for less than $2000. It might not look as pretty, but it will be fast.
Other than looks, Apple gives you a great OS. Why in the world do you all want to put Windows 7 on your pretty macs?! Is it a chance to get up to speed for the MS bashing that will come?
I am a computer is a computer guy. I could give a crap what machine I use as long as it does the job. But as a graphic artist I have lots of friends who preach to me the Steve Job's gospel. Yet they too seem to show off how their macs run Windows so well. All the while telling me how they think the OS sucks, how they have all the apps they need on their mac and the windows only apps are not worth their time anyway. How all the good games are on Mac too. And how their hardware is just as good for the price they spent as any PC - or better.
And so I find it incredibly funny to see Apple hardware owners shoving beta Windows 7 on their Macs. God help us if MS actually pulls it off and makes Windows 7 more enticing than OS X in visuals and functionality.
I wonder with all the Apple marketing out there if they have somehow tricked the public into thinking Apple makes the leading OS now. And now MS is some kind of underdog in the OS race. Is the desire to get Windows 7 up and running on the Mac a secret desire to root for the underdog?
Well said....you just stole my words...
But at the end of the end...Mac still makes great computers....but for MS...not sure...somehow "Microsoft makes good software" doesn't quite sound right.

Seven Years In
Mainly because we need new stuff.
I think that may actually be the source of the "seven year itch." You look around your house and realize the adorable cottage you bought and called your "love nest" is now is desperate need of painting and other repairs. You've broken most of the fancy wine glasses you got as wedding presents, and at least some of the china has chips. Your child(ren) have broken at least one thing you loved, but that is too expensive and impractical to replace. The hand towels are now being used as cleaning rags, and the bath towels that haven't been accidentally bleached just look worn. The chafing dish that an Aunt gave you is still in perfect condition though, mostly because you have never had a reason to "chafe."
Then you look at your spouse. Like your towels they are worn as well. You both have likely put on some weight. You've probably lost (or in the case of women, gained) some hair. There is no mystery about what goes on in the bathroom. Every bad habit has been exposed, every argument hashed out at least once, and every nerve has been frayed. If you don't have a strong marriage, I can see why some people would feel something needs to be "scratched."
Luckily, I have a strong marriage. I can honestly say I love my husband as much, if not more than I did the day I married him, and I know for a fact I like him a lot more. Our friendship has gotten deeper over the years, mainly because the mystery has disappeared. Oh, and because we've never lost our senses of humor. Take last night for example: I was brining a chicken (I am very fancy) and it would not stay under the water. I asked Ryan what he thought I should do.
"Put a heavy bowl on top of it." I did, and it worked.
"See, that's why I married you," I said.
"Yep," he replied,"because I'm a problem solver, and you're a problem maker."
That never would have flown during year two.
I guess that's the trade off. While the shine wears off all of the presents that came with the wedding, over time the marriage itself becomes the gift. Such a gift, in fact, that I don't feel cheesy writing sentences like that one. I actually believe it to be true. Maybe that's what I'll use to comfort myself from now on every time an appliance breaks, or Meg floods the bathroom and ruins the rug, or we realize we need to repair a wall: "this is making my marriage stronger."
Still, a new down comforter would be nice...
Happy Anniversary, babe.

This soulful soup will give you an idea why kofta (made with spiced ground meat) is such a beloved dish in Turkey. In this recipe savory lamb meatballs are served with tender potatoes and a host of vegetables in a simple broth.
A mixture of ricotta, spinach and ground beef makes this classic baked pasta dish particularly satisfying. Grass-fed beef is rich and flavorful, so cooking with even a small amount makes a big impact.
Fun to make, a delight to the eyes and absolutely yummy, this jelly roll-style cake is a holiday favorite.
A simple batter bakes up into a light (and not too sweet) cake which is perfectly complemented by the buttery caramelized pineapple topping.
The deep earthy flavor and meaty texture of cremini mushrooms is the base of this hearty recipe. Add the arugula to the hot pasta just before serving to preserve some of the leafy texture and punch of the greens.
This recipe combines the tangy flavor of quick-pickled spinach with ground pork and is served over rice. The original version would use water spinach, but we substituted more widely available baby spinach.
Here's an oven-baked dish that's an easy solution for busy weeknights. Serve with green beans alongside and dinner is done. If you're not crazy about curry, substitute dried dill for the curry powder, though your rice won't be quite as "sunny."
Searing green beans in a dry wok gives them a mild smoky flavor; you can get the same blistered effect with a large cast-iron skillet if you don't have a wok.
Enjoy a thick square of this cake with coffee in the morning, tea at night or as a mid-day snack. The sweetness comes from bananas and dates, and richness comes from light coconut milk.
This simple combination of leafy green lettuce, sweet red onion, sliced apples, roasted pecans and dried cherries tossed in raspberry vinaigrette can serve as a main lunch entrée or on the side in a more extravagant meal.
If there's one dish that best defines the spirit of simple, classic Italian cooking it might just be bruschetta. Slices of rustic bread are lightly brushed with olive oil and garlic after being toasted over an open fire.
We can't resist making huge batches of this great salad. Take liberties with the ingredients, as this recipe is best when prepared according to your own taste. If you prefer, cook the broccoli in boiling water until tender before adding it to the salad.
Hearty and rustic, this lamb loin is an impressive anchor for any menu. Bold red wine sauce balances the earthiness of mushrooms and lamb. Try this roast with steamed haricots verts (small green beans) and brown rice.
Baby spinach leaves are adorned with sun-dried tomatoes, cranberries, pine nuts and avocado and then tossed with a fresh balsamic-lime dressing.
Protein-rich lentils are a great choice to include in your regular diet. Here, they're prepared with curry powder, tomatoes and onions and spooned over rice with cashews and yogurt on top.
We think these fresh green beans sauced with creamy mushroom soup and topped with crunchy baked onion rings will become a new family favorite.
Serve this honey-sweetened bread, made with whole wheat pastry flour and oat bran, for breakfast or as a dessert or snack. Package for gift giving with our ...

Not worth the money but good ingredients
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by TheSoulfulSpoon From South Carolina on Aug 18, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
I was a little hesitant to buy this product because the first few ingredients are basically sugar ( coconut syrup, tapioca syrup), but since it had a good protein content to sugar content ( 11 grams to 9 grams), and a good fiber content with very healthy ingredients from raw foods, I gave it a try. I tell you what- my teeth hurt SO bad the first time I ate this thing because it was SO chewy and almost like eating taffy! It wasn't my idea of a protein bar- do not buy this if you want your money's worth. They don't keep you full and really don't taste that amazing, but they are good to keep in your purse in an emergency, though I'd rather just eat a Larabar.

This is a good protein bar. It is not very sweet so it is more like a protein source and less like a candy bar. It has a chewy consistency like a caramel, and is full of healthy incredients.

Love these bars!

My health coach sent me one of these bars and they are the only protein bars I will eat. I'm allergic to peanuts so the fact that these use cashews is a plus. I also try to avoid sugar, so I love that these are sweet but use agave nectar and other fruit extracts to do so. Finally, there is a lot of protein in each bar - 11 g - more than most protein bars. They are delicious and nutritions. Thank you!

Good nutrition, not so good taste

These are a good meal replacement. They taste OK, but not great. If you like pumpkin seeds you'll certainly enjoy them.

[Warning: This story contains major spoilers from Sunday's episode of Once Upon a Time. Read at your own risk!]
Once Upon a Time wasted no time in restoring Emma's (Jennifer Morrison) memories. On the midseason premiere on Sunday, Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) gave her a potion that came with some consequences: That boyfriend (Covert Affairs' Christopher Gorham) Emma has been dating for the last several months? It turns out he's one of the Wicked Witch's (Rebecca Mader) flying monkeys sent to keep an eye on the savior.

It's been three long months since Once Upon a Time shocked viewers by sending our favorite fairy-tale characters back to the Enchanted Forest while wiping Emma's (Jennifer Morrison) and Henry's (Jared Gilmore) memories of their time in Storybrooke.

If you need your memory jogged about the ongoing plight of Once Upon a Time's fairy-tale menagerie, you're not alone. When the series returns after its hiatus, Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and her son, Henry (Jared Gilmore), are enjoying an uncharacteristically tranquil existence in present-day New York City — with zero recollection of their magical past or of the unlucky inhabitants of Storybrooke. We met up with Morrison at Manhattan's Osteria Morini to ply her with pasta and wine for a peek at the secretive next chapter...read more

WASHINGTON U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, wants to enhance the trade relationship between the U.S. and Canada.
Mr. Owens led a panel discussion Thursday hosted by the Congressional Northern Border Caucus, which he co-chairs with Rep. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D.
The panel focused on regulatory reforms that would enhance the job-creating trade relationship between the U.S. and Canada, according to a news release from Mr. Owenss office.
Rob Merrifield, member of the Canadian Parliament; Amgad Shehata, vice president of international public affairs for UPS; Adam Salerno, senior director of national security and emergency preparedness for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and Dave Britton, owner of a North Dakota-based trucking company, were all in attendance.
Streamlining border regulations and reforming antiquated visa laws were a major theme of the discussion, according to the release.

Oct. 31, 1517, was one of the turning points in world history, affecting not just church history, but the very course of civilization across the globe. On that day, Martin Luther, a German monk and university professor, nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenburg Church, in which he called for a return to the core teachings of Scripture (particularly as they pertain to salvation, grace, and the authority of Scripture). Providence Christian School recognizes this historical event with a celebration of Reformation Day, held each year on Oct. 31 (or the Friday closest to the 31st).

Many Americans think of Halloween as a harmless, fun holiday, with kids and adults dressing in costumes and passing out candy.
Halloween is just around the corner, and that means families will be looking for activities to attend and ways to spend the holiday. Churches often offer safe alternatives to trick or treating, where kids can get the candy they crave and expend energy playing games. This year, one local church is offering an event that is not just a Halloween-alternative fall festival but is also a way to help give back to the community.

Empowering, supporting and preparing
Stepping Out is a student-centred web-based portal that collates various services and aspects of the University for individuals who are in their final year of study, or are nearing completion, have recently completed, or who are thinking of stepping into further study.
Stepping Out is the result of a widespread consultation and feedback process across the University of Newcastle, including with our students. We would like to thank all contributors, in particular those students who gave their time to help this site deliver its integral student-centred approach.
The site is designed to facilitate empowerment by providing highly visible and easily accessible knowledge and support before, during and after students' transition, so they can be better prepared for their new life phase, while also maintaining a feeling of connectedness with the University.
It also:
- facilitates a broad understanding of the array of transferable and program specific skills gained from undergraduate study;
- fosters connections between the graduate, university, professional groups and community; and
- encourages life-long learning.
Our aim is to help our students 'step out' of university with a self-knowledge that better prepares them for the experiences and challenges that lie ahead.

Product Description
The Drop Zone Arrow Rest from Trophy Ridge contains a built-in launcher and broadhead guard with more clearance than other rests. The vertical launcher arm quietly raises the arrow into a perfect center shot position and drops to a 90 degree angle away from the arrow, thanks to a dual thrust suspension system. This creates a full inch of travel for maximum arrow clearance and an accurate shot. V-notched, the launcher arm holds the arrow secure during angled shots and in extreme conditions. The rest also has a built-in vibration dampener. The arrow is held securely before it is fired by a RACK arrow holder. One wrench adjustments. Right-hand only. Color: Black.
