Arian Foster | RB | Houston Texans
Posted: 2/22/2014 8:54pm et
Houston Texans general manager Rick Smith said RB Arian Foster (back) is doing well in his recovery from back surgery.
Huddle Up: The good news is with new coach Bill O'Brien at the helm the Texans won't be anywhere close to as run-heavy as they've been in the past, so Foster's workload will be reduced. The bad news, of course, is that Foster is no longer a bankable fantasy workhorse, what with the high mileage, injury history and new regime.

Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said Wednesday, Nov. 13, that RB Arian Foster (back) will have surgery Thursday, Nov. 14, in California.
Huddle Up: Foster's 2013 season is over, so getting the surgery done as soon as possible will allow him more time to recover and rehab for 2014.
Posted: 11/12/2013 4:10pm et
The Houston Texans placed RB Arian Foster (back) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, Nov. 12.
Huddle Up: As expected, the season is over for one of fantasy's highest-drafted backs, who's expected to undergo back surgery. It's now up to Ben Tate and Dennis Johnson to shoulder a rushing-game load that isn't what it once was as the 2-7 Texans are playing from behind a lot more these days.
Posted: 11/12/2013 12:00am et
Houston Texans interim head coach Wade Phillips would not confirm nor deny that RB Arian Foster (back) will have surgery or is out for the season. Phillips said Monday, Nov. 11, that Foster has a disc issue, but does not know any more.
Huddle Up: Despite Phillips' silence, most all signs and reports point toward Foster's 2013 being done, and if his fantasy owners haven't already made alternate plans, it's definitely time.
Posted: 11/11/2013 12:31am et
Updating a previous report, Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (back) is scheduled to undergo back surgery in Los Angeles Thursday, Nov. 14.
Huddle Up: If he still happens to be available, pick up Dennis Johnson. What a bummer of a year for Arian Foster.
Posted: 11/8/2013 7:58pm et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster's back injury is worse than the back injury he dealt with during training camp. Foster is currently dealing with a lumbar issue in his back.
Huddle Up: We've likely seen the last of Foster for 2013. He's currently meeting with doctors and may need surgery on his back. Ben Tate will the Texans' starter going forward with Dennis Johnson serving as Houston's No. 2 back for the time being.

Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (back, hamstring) missed his third straight practice Friday, Nov. 8, and has been ruled out for Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. Interim head coach Wade Phillips said Foster has seen multiple specialists for his back injury, but there is no timetable for his recovery. The Houston Chronicle is reporting that season-ending surgery is a possibility. RB Ben Tate will start and is expected to see the bulk of the workload. RB Dennis Johnson is expected to spell Tate, and Houston is leaning toward using RB Deji Karim as the third running back.
Huddle Up: Houston is experiencing one of those seasons where the news seems to flow from bad to worse. In the meantime, with the Texans doing likewise, Foster's fantasy owners need to start readying their own backup plans for the remainder of the season.
Posted: 11/7/2013 6:48pm et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (back) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 7.
Huddle Up: That's 2 missed practices this week for Foster, and it's starting to look like his Week 10 participation is in serious doubt. If so, that'll mean the RB will have had all of 4 carries for 11 yards since Week 6.
Posted: 11/6/2013 3:10pm et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (back) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 6, because of a back injury. Interim head coach Wade Phillips said Foster is meeting with doctors to have the injury diagnosed.
Huddle Up: It might be best to make alternate plans at running back this week.
Posted: 11/6/2013 12:16am et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (back, hamstring) entered the Week 9 game with a hamstring issue, and left with a back injury. It's uncertain if the two are related, and whether he'll be forced to miss time as a result of the injury.
Huddle Up: Foster owners are in for another week of monitoring practice reports, but even if Foster is cleared to play Week 10, the Week 9 scenario could play itself out all over again with the RB leaving the action early.
Posted: 11/1/2013 3:19pm et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (hamstring) practiced again Friday, Nov. 1, but will be a game-time decision in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Huddle Up: Foster's fantasy owners might be best served to go with another option now, given the Sunday night game time and the announcement that Ben Tate (ribs) will play in the game. Of course, that makes things rather simple if you own both Foster and Tate.
Posted: 10/31/2013 4:06pm et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (hamstring) took all scheduled reps
in practice Thursday, Oct. 31.
Huddle Up: That's 2 straight days of work now for Foster, but the official call
on his Week 9 status is still upcoming.
Posted: 10/30/2013 6:00pm et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Oct. 30, but RB Ben Tate (ribs) practiced through four broken ribs.
Huddle Up: This could be problematic the longer Foster sits out. Keep an eye on him through Friday.
Posted: 10/30/2013 12:12pm et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (hamstring) will be very limited in practice Wednesday, Oct. 30, and will be a game-time decision in Week 9.
Huddle Up: Initially the Texans weren't optimistic about Foster's availability this week, but Foster has said he'll be ready. Unless he gets in at least one full practice this week it would be tough to trust him with a fantasy start Sunday night against the Colts. Instead, expect some sort of committee approach between Foster, the equally banged-up Ben Tate, and recently signed Deji Karim.
Posted: 10/29/2013 10:12am et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (hamstring) said Monday, Oct. 28, that he expects to practice this week. 'Opened up pretty good (Monday),' Foster said. 'So I expect to practice this week and push towards playing.' Head coach Gary Kubiak added that a decision on Foster is likely to come later in the week after far as playing Sunday, Nov. 3, against the Indianapolis Colts.
Huddle Up: The Texans have a couple of banged-up backs, but the news on Foster sounds positive. The alternative to Foster and his bad hammy is Ben Tate and his broken ribs or newly signed Deji Karim. Hopefully we'll know more heading into the weekend, but given Kubiak's track record Foster's fantasy owners can expect this to be a game-time decision.
Posted: 10/28/2013 1:53pm et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (hamstring) did not participate in practice Monday, Oct. 28. He said he expects the recovery from his hamstring injury to occur quickly and expects to practice this week.
Huddle Up: Keep an eye on him this week, but it sounds like Foster will be a go based on his thoughts on practice.
Posted: 10/21/2013 2:55pm et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (hamstring) has what is being described as a minor hamstring pull. It will not be known if he misses any time until at least Wednesday or Thursday of this week.
Huddle Up: Nothing new here. Keep an eye through the next few days to see if he will miss any time.
Posted: 10/21/2013 12:37am et
Updating a previous report, Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (hamstring) said Sunday, Oct. 20, that he doesn't feel the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs is serious. 'It's a hamstring,' Foster said. 'It doesn't seem too severe right now, so we will just play it out. I have a bye week coming. It's tough.'
Huddle Up: That's good to hear. Of course, the last injury Foster had was a calf injury that took a month to heal. Keep an eye on his situation.
Posted: 9/30/2013 6:19pm et
Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said he was impressed with how RB Arian Foster looked during practice last week and was happy with how he played Week 4. Kubiak said Foster is starting to look like he did last season.
Huddle Up: It was especially impressive that it came against the Seahawks. After three weeks of mediocre results, it seems that Foster is indeed back to form. The buy-low window has closed.
Posted: 9/13/2013 8:55pm et
Houston Texans RB Ben Tate isn't happy being behind RB Arian Foster on the running back depth chart despite outplaying his counterpart in Week 1 versus the San Diego Chargers. 'I would be lying to you if I told you that I embraced the complement role to someone else,' Tate said. 'That's not why I wanted to be in the NFL. That's not my dream to complement someone else. That's not what my attitude or why I work out is to complement someone else.'
Huddle Up: It's not surprising Tate wants to be a lead back and he would be on a lot of other teams. Tate actually played better than Foster in the opener. He rushed for 55 yards on nine carries, compared to Foster's 57 yards on 18 carries. Tate could see a few more touches in Week 2 but he's still the second option in Houston. He remains nothing more than a dicey flex play unless something happens to Foster.
Posted: 9/11/2013 2:06pm et
Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said he wants to limit RB Arian Foster's workload early in the season, but the team has every intention of keeping him as the lead running back this year.
Huddle Up: Foster did incur the bulk of the workload on Monday night, despite his overall ineffectiveness. He'll improve as the season goes along, but Ben Tate will retain some value here.
Posted: 9/10/2013 10:29pm et
Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said the team will continue to split carries between RBs Arian Foster and Ben Tate similarly to how they did in the Week 1 victory over the San Diego Chargers. 'I wish it would have come out a little more closer to even; I think I said that after the game,' Kubiak said of their split Monday night in San Diego. 'Obviously, it was Arian's first time out this year. He didn't play any in the preseason. I think Ben's had an excellent preseason. I want to keep it somewhat close right now and watch them working to (see) what's going on.' Foster had 18 carries for 57 yards and Tate had nine carries for 55 yards against the Chargers.
Huddle Up: Tate continues to be the most valuable handcuff back in fantasy, but this is unwelcome news for Foster's owners even though the decreased workload should benefit the RB over the long haul this season.
Posted: 9/10/2013 1:54am et
Houston Texans' RB Arian Foster carried 18 times for 57 yards and added 33
more yards on 6 catches Monday, Sept. 9, in the team's come-from-behind win
over the San Diego Chargers.
Huddle Up: Coach Gary Kubiak said No. 2 RB Ben Tate would get close to 50 percent of the
workload after Foster sat out the entire preseason with calf and back issues, but
Tate only had nine rushes and two catches for 62 total yards -- giving Foster more
than two-thirds of the touches. That's about what to expect going forward, and now
Foster owners can concern themselves with the RB's rare game without a TD as
QB Matt Schaub threw three inside-the-10 TDs to tight ends Monday night.
Posted: 9/7/2013 7:54pm et
Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said RBs Arian Foster and Ben Tate will share carries Week 1 because the team wants to keep Foster fresh during the game. 'We're going to rotate,' Kubiak said. 'First off, I think Arian's condition is excellent. His practice this week has been just excellent. He's a worker - that's why he plays well - and I've been impressed by how he's held up. But I think it's early in the season; I don't know how warm it's going to be up there. But I think we're smart to play them both and obviously we'll see how Arian holds up from that standpoint. But I don't think we're looking at the majority load that we maybe look at when he's rolling.'
Huddle Up: Foster has been dealing with injuries all summer, so this isn't surprising or anything that hasn't already been reported. Foster should still be started in all formats, he probably just won't get his usual 20-25 carry workload. Tate is in the mix as a flex play this week, depending on the size of your league and who else is on your roster.
Posted: 9/5/2013 8:53pm et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (calf) fully participated in practice Thursday,
Sept. 5.
Huddle Up: Foster will play in Week 1 but after missing the entire preseason he's expected to
share the workload with No. 2 back Ben Tate in the nightcap of Monday night's
Posted: 8/30/2013 10:03pm et
Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said Friday, Aug. 30, that RB Arian Foster (back, calf) won't be a '30-carry guy' in Week 1 against the San Diego Chargers because he didn't play during the preseason.
Huddle Up: Foster will rotate with Ben Tate while he gets back into football shape. After carrying the ball more than any running back in the NFL over the last three years and battling injuries all summer, the days of Foster getting 390 touches in a season are over.
Posted: 8/27/2013 10:31am et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster won't play in the final preseason game this week.
Huddle Up: Foster will miss the entire preseason due to calf and back issues, but he claims to be fresh and ready to go when the games matter. Meanwhile, his fantasy stock has slid towards the bottom of the first round and Ben Tate has become the most vital handcuff on the board.
Posted: 8/22/2013 12:01am et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (back, calf) said Wednesday, Aug. 21, that he will be ready for the regular season opener Monday, Sept. 9, against the San Diego Chargers. 'Yeah, I'll be ready,' Foster said.
Huddle Up: Foster has been dealing with calf and back injuries since May but he was activated off active/PUP Wednesday. He's been falling out of the first round in some fantasy drafts recently because of injury concerns. Foster has seen a huge workload over the last three years and he enters the season banged up. However, once a back with his talents and history of production slips to Round 2, owners have to roll the dice and pull the trigger on him.
Posted: 8/21/2013 1:20pm et
The Houston Texans will activate RB Arian Foster (back, calf) from the Physically Unable to Perform list Wednesday, Aug. 21.
Huddle Up: All those who already own Foster in their leagues can breathe a bit easier today. Granted, this doesn't mean he is free and clear to start in Week 1, but this is an excellent sign.
Posted: 8/19/2013 5:15pm et
Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak fully expects RB Arian Foster (back) to be ready for the season opener Sept. 9 against the San Diego Chargers. Foster was unable to practice Monday, Aug. 19. 'Yes I am because I watch him work,' Kubiak said. 'I've been watching him. He's basically going through practices or has been since we've been in camp on his own with Jeff. Obviously, there's been a little setback as we try to get some soreness out of him. But from what I've seen, yes. It's not like he's been standing around for the last three weeks. Obviously, we want to get him back out here as quick as I can.'
Huddle Up: This runs contrary to recent reports saying the Texans were worried Foster might be out for Week 1. His value is slipping, which could just mean you will get a great value for him later in the first round.
Posted: 8/18/2013 8:48pm et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (back) needs a few more days to recover after receiving injections to alleviate back soreness. Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said Foster's back pain has gone into his legs.
Huddle Up: First the offseason calf injury and now this. We may not have medical degrees but lingering/spreading back pain doesn't sound good, especially when the legs of one of fantasy's top back are being affected. Most definitely follow the developments if you own one of the top picks in your draft.
Posted: 8/13/2013 12:27pm et
Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said RB Arian Foster is fine, but still bothered by back tightness.
Huddle Up: Every day Foster remains sidelined, Ben Tate's fantasy value goes up. Except, you know, when Tate is hurt as well. Still too early to panic, but Foster is slipping into the middle of the first round since he hasn't been able to practice yet this preseason.
Posted: 8/10/2013 10:47pm et
Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said RB Arian Foster (back, calf) is close to participating in practice.
Huddle Up: Foster has been dealing with his calf injury all summer, so it will be a relief to fantasy owners to see him back on the field soon. Foster is still going in the Top 5 in most fantasy drafts but his lingering injuries are becoming a concern.
Posted: 8/7/2013 6:01pm et
Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said he will pleased with the work RB Arian Foster (back, calf) has done with the trainers but indicated the team will take its time with Foster and make sure he is healthy.
Huddle Up: Foster doesn't need to be practicing right now, but the fact the Texans are taking this much time with him is a bit concerning. Foster has gotten so many touches over the past three seasons that he has become a bit of a risk in fantasy leagues. Monitor his injury status over the next week or two.
Posted: 8/2/2013 11:27am et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster will come off the Physically Unable to Perform list and begin practicing Sunday, Aug. 4.
Huddle Up: Perfect timing for the Texans, as would-be backup Ben Tate missed Friday's practice with a groin injury. Foster's return to action should halt his slide from the upper echelon of the running back rankings.
Posted: 7/30/2013 12:44am et
Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said he hopes RB Arian Foster (calf) will be able to practice at some point during the middle of this week. Foster is currently on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
Huddle Up: While nothing we've heard so far out of Houston indicates that Foster won't be toting his normal full load in Week 1, fantasy GMs need to follow this storyline closer than most with the RB a projected sure-fire No. 1 pick.
Posted: 7/26/2013 6:13pm et
Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said he believes RB Arian Foster will be able to come off the Physically Unable to Perform list in the near future. Kubiak said he was surprised that Foster was not ready to practice but indicated the training staff believes they need to work with Foster for a few days to get into a routine.
Huddle Up: Right now there are no concerns that Foster will be in any way limited by the time the games (and stats) begin to count. However, it does make handcuffing Ben Tate to Foster on fantasy teams even more of a must.
Posted: 7/12/2013 2:13am et
Houston Texans running backs coach Chick Harris said RB Arian Foster is determined to reach his goals in 2013. "I think Arian is more determined than ever to reach his goals of being better than last year and obtaining more yards in both the passing game and run game," Harris said. "He knows what he did the year before. He did not attain the amount of yards that he had prior so therefore he's gunning for it."
Huddle Up: Foster did rush for more yards in 2012 (1,424) than in 2011 (1,224), but his receiving yardage was way down from 617 to 217, resulting in 200 fewer total yards. Look for his receiving yardage to climb back over 500 yards in 2013.
Posted: 6/17/2013 11:40am et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster said he'll most likely be ready for training camp.
Huddle Up: Uh... "most likely"? That sound you here is Ben Tate creeping up fantasy draft boards as a must-handcuff. Still plenty of time before you need to hit the panic button, but given Foster's mileage, Tate's talent, and the Texans' fondness for running the football it's a situation that warrants your attention.
Posted: 5/29/2013 5:36pm et
Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said RB Arian Foster will not participate until training camp begins. Foster is currently using crutches but should be fine.
Huddle Up: Foster is dealing with a calf strain. Nothing to worry about now; if he's still on crutches in August, sound the alarms and bump Ben Tate up your fantasy cheat sheet.
Posted: 5/29/2013 11:46am et
Updating previous reports, Houston Texans RB Arian Foster has been diagnosed with a strained calf.
Huddle Up: There's no reason for the Texans to push their workhorse in May. Ben Tate can get some reps with the first team in minicamp, and Foster can return to action when it matters this fall.
Posted: 5/28/2013 11:38pm et
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (calf) left the team's practice
Tuesday. May, 28 with a calf strain.
Huddle Up: Teammates have said the injury doesn't appear to be anything to be
concerned about, but the team, naturally, is going to take every
precaution with one of the game's most productive backs. In all,
Foster has only missed 3 games -- all in 2011 -- since becoming the
Texans' starter in 2010.

Iowa DOT: No Licenses For Illegal ImmigrantsBy James Q. Lynch, Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – After a review of Iowa law, the Iowa Department of Transportation will cease issuing driver's licenses to young illegal immigrants eligible to work in this country under an Obama administration deferred prosecution policy.
The department has issued at least one driver's license and one non-operator's ID since President Obama announced his Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Obama changed federal policy in June to let certain illegal immigrants apply for a temporary work permit if they were brought to the country as children. However, after reviewing the memorandum issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on the deferred prosecution of illegal immigrants as it relates to Iowa law, the DOT concluded it did not have authority to issue those documents, DOT Director Paul Trombino III said this morning. Trombino explained that a memorandum issued by the does not change driver's license procedures. "That's a state issue, and from policy standpoint, we administer the policy made in the (Iowa) Capitol," he said. The DOT announcement was in response to a letter from the ACLU-Iowa asking the department to issues documents to young illegal immigrants who received deferred status under the Obama policy. The department will formally respond to ACLU-Iowa later today, Trombino said. The DOT policy does not affect foreign nationals who are authorized to work in this country, Trombino said. "In this case, as we reviewed Iowa Code, we determined that deferred status doesn't give illegal immigrants legal status," he said. "It's just deferring any action."

Harman's Revel brand is putting a little boom into the Ultima2 Series, announcing a brand new subwoofer at the 2013 International CES. The new Rhythm2 powered subwoofer has an 18-inch woofer, 2,000 watts of amplifier power and built-in DSP room equalization.
Besides the 18-inch aluminum cast-frame front-firing woofer, the Rhythm2 has a neodymium-magnet motor system with a symmetrical magnetic field configuration. That amp also promises to drive the woofer to over 115dB and deliver bass down to below 20Hz. Other features include controls and connections for a configurable electronic crossover with adjustable delays, volume, line-level inputs, a USB port and more.
"Although it can deliver prodigious amounts of deep bass, that's only part of Rhythm2's capabilities," said Jim Garrett, director of marketing and product management for Harman's Luxury Audio Group and Loudspeakers. "Its built-in digital room EQ takes the contribution of the main speakers into account when measuring and adjusting the EQ of the subwoofer, which enables a system to achieve flatter and more accurate frequency response in any listening room."
Available in piano black and mahogany, Harman will start selling the Revel Rhythm2 next month, with an MSRP of $10,000.

Dr. Nathan Tinker, executive director of the New York Biotechnology Association, recently delivered "Building Biotech in NYC: If You Make It Here, Can You Really Make It Anywhere?" in LeFrak Auditorium. An audience largely comprised of graduate students and postdocs, along with staff members from the offices of biotechnology and business development, attended the special event co-hosted by two Einstein clubs, the newly established Entrepreneurship & Biotechnology Club and the Career & Professional Development Club.
During his talk, Dr. Tinker offered a rundown on the current landscape of the bioscience industry within New York City. He also drew comparisons to other bioscience clusters throughout the nation as he detailed facts, figures and statistics illustrating the wealth of bioscience research being developed in New York.
In noting the large potential workforce in New York – NYC graduates more bioscience Ph.D.s than any other U.S. city – Dr. Tinker acknowledged that these graduates currently face a dearth of commercial bioscience opportunities locally. He then addressed important questions, such as what New York can do to establish a world-class commercial bioscience cluster; what opportunities and challenges exist in re-envisioning New York's bioscience culture; and what New York's bioscience students and postdocs can do in order to prepare for opportunities.
Dr. Tinker concluded that he believes the future of the bioscience industry in New York looks bright and is poised to boom in the next few years. His presentation stirred a succession of questions from members of the audience, many of whom remained after the event for further discussion.
The hosting clubs plan to offer a variety of events focusing on bioscience technology and business development, as well as information on career avenues outside of, or related to, academic science that are open to graduate students and postdocs. Their next event, featuring a panel of representatives from the offices of biotechnology and business development, will offer discussion of technology transfer from the bench to market. It is scheduled for Thursday, April 11, at 5:30 p.m., in Price Center/Block Pavilion Room 351.

News Release
Thursday, November 17, 2011
Media contact: Susan Smith, 850-528-1755
(Back to Commission meeting news)
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) recognized Monroe County Assistant State Attorney Colleen Dunne on Thursday at its Commission meeting in Key Largo.
Dunne, who has worked in the Monroe County State Attorney's Office since 2000, was selected as the 2010 Prosecutor of the Year by the FWC's Division of Law Enforcement.
She has prosecuted many cases, with an impressive conviction rate.
During the past year, she successfully prosecuted several trap-molestation cases. It is a felony to rob or interfere with any crab or lobster trap, trap line or buoy without permission of that license holder. In one particularly high-profile case, two men were convicted, sentenced to nine months in jail, charged thousands of dollars in fines and had their commercial fishing licenses permanently revoked.
"Trap robbing can prevent commercial fishermen from successfully catching saltwater products to earn a profit, which also affects small businesses," said Bud Vielhauer, general counsel for the FWC. "Dunne has sent a strong message to the commercial fishing industry that the FWC and state of Florida are working hard to protect the hard-earned income of law-abiding fishermen."
Dunne is known for working closely with FWC officers and being available at any time of the day or night. She has high expectations of law enforcement officers, demanding quality evidence, such as numerous photographs, detailed, well-written witness statements and precise electronic navigational information.
"Ms. Dunne has established herself as a true asset to all law enforcement agencies in the county," Vielhauer said. "She is a valued partner to the FWC in the protection of Florida's resources and people."

Tons of benefits from manure sharing
Published on Fri, Apr 9, 2010 by
Read More
Manure facts:
• One horse produces about $150 worth of fertilizer per year
• A 1,000-pound horse produces about eight tons of manure annually
• Composting can reduce manure piles by 50 percent
• If a compost pile smells bad, it needs more air
• If a pile is damp and warm in the middle, the pile is too small
Spring cleaning isn't only for houses.
"Horses are typically confined during the winter, so manure has been collecting," says Jennifer Coyle-Bond a conservation planner for Clallam Conservation District.
It's important for horse and livestock owners to know there are options for dealing with excess manure.
"Now is the best time to address manure issues," Coyle-Bond said.
One option is the district's Manure Share Program, created six years ago to connect horse and livestock owners and those who want to compost manure for their gardens.
"Most horse owners say they have a lot of leftover manure and it's more than they can handle," Coyle-Bond said.
Join the growing list
Farms and ranches offering free manure are on a list available to homeowners and gardeners.
Coyle-Bond said new suppliers are added often and more are welcome to sign up.
Some animal owners use straw, hay or bark chips for bedding, which is mixed with the manure. Others have straight manure. Most manure is free; a few places charge a small delivery or loading fee.
The share list includes:
• Name
• Address and general location of manure
• Phone number
• Type of manure: with or without bedding
• If owner can help deliver/load and how much it costs
Protecting the environment
Coyle-Bond said the district's primary concern is keeping manure away from streams and ground water to prevent diseases and illnesses. Contaminated runoff can make water unsafe for drinking or swimming and can harm aquatic life. Waste from carnivores such as cats and dogs should not be composted but bagged, tied and thrown away.
For manure piles, the conservation district suggests:
• Pick a high, dry location at least 100 feet away from wells and surface water
• Site the pile away from home and neighbors and consider wind directions
• Choose a year-round accessible place
Manure should be composted before use.
Suggestions for storage/composting:
• At least two compost bins, one for fresh and one with ready compost
• A long-term storage bin with a concrete base and durable walls, usually of concrete
• Temporary pile covered with a tarp or canopy
All composing structures should be covered to prevent odors and spreading of harmful bacteria to animals and humans.
Sharing the benefits
About a dozen of the manure providers are near Sequim.
Deni Rauw, owner of Nodaway Farms in Sequim, has been on the manure share list about one year.
"I think it's excellent, Rauw said.
"We have so much of it that it's really a service for them to take it away from us."
She has four horses but normally hosts 17-20 so the amount of waste adds up.
"Some barn owners in Seattle pay upwards of $800 a month for manure to be hauled-off," Rauw said.
"It's neat when people here discover us then they keep coming back."
Linda Gooch, co-owner of Happy Valley Alpaca Farm, said repeat visitors aren't uncommon for her either.
She said people aren't picky and don't mind the manure being mixed with sawdust and hay.
Alpaca manure is different from cattle manure because it's not hot and doesn't burn plants when put in the ground, Gooch said.
"A lot of people are doing gardens doing with it," she said.
"(Community Organic Garden of Sequim members) have been in contact with us about taking some manure."
Clallam Conservation District also provides advice and resources on:
• fencing to keep livestock away from streams
• technical assistance
• mud management systems
• soil tests

Birkenhead dog kennels may close
MORE than 7,000 people signed a petition opposing plans to close Wirral Council's dog kennels in Birkenhead.
The closure is being considered by Wirral Council to save £100,000 – but campaigners have warned it would lead to more stray dogs on the streets of the borough.
The closure is one of a range of options being considered by the council as it tries to slash £39m from its spending.
It would see the council-run facility on Corporation Road, Birkenhead, close and Wirral joining forces with other areas to provide a cross-Merseyside service. Owners would have to travel to Halewood to collect their pets.
Antje Tucker, of the Friends of Birkenhead Kennels, which is leading opposition to the plans, said: "People are extremely concerned that they want to farm it out to Halewood – it's miles from Birkenhead. We are enraged about this. It would hand a death sentence to dogs."
An options paper outlining the proposal said: "The option here would be to stop delivering a specific Wirral Council service and instead join negotiations with city region partners to deliver a cross Merseyside scheme to make savings. The kennels in Wirral would close and owners would need to travel to Halewood to collect their pets, which could be a disincentive and harm the current 80% re-homing rate."

Man poses as woman on dating site to lure iPhone thief, another films violent confrontation, posts it online
Stolen iPhones were returned during holiday period after shocking confrontations
By Ashleigh Allsopp
January 12, 2013 — IDG News Service — Two lost iPhones have been recovered in some unusual and shocking ways recently, with one man posing as a woman on an online dating site to catch a thief, and another filming his violent encounter with the person who stole his iPhone after managing to track him down.
Musician Nadav Nirenberg didn't have the best start to 2013 after leaving his iPhone in a taxi on New Years' Eve on his way to a concert in New York. When he had exhausted all attempts of making contact with the person who had found it, he had given up hope, he explained on his blog.
But the next day, Nirenberg found that someone was using his lost iPhone to send messages to local women through Nirenberg's OkCupid online dating account, which he accessed through an app that didn't require a password to log in.
So, Nirenberg decided to take action, and created a face OkCupid profile where he posed as 'Jennifer Rodriguez' and convinced the thief to meet with 'her' at his apartment.
When the thief arrived at the address Nirenberg had given him (on a floor above his real apartment), he was carrying a bottle of wine. Nirenberg approached him and asked for his phone back, offering a $20 reward as a peace offering. Nirenberg said he was carrying a hammer in one hand just in case, though.
Thankfully, the thief returned the phone and left the building, and Nirenberg found that he had not accessed personal applications such as Facebook or email.
Meanwhile, a video of one man's violent encounter with the person who stole his iPhone has been circulating the web, after tracking him down using Find My iPhone.
ABC reports that Kenneth Schmidgall lost his iPhone on 30 December, and when no one returned his desperate calls to the phone, he decided to go and get it back himself.
"We just wanted the phone back," said Schmidgall's friend Greg Torkelson. "Some of it was a little bit of adrenaline you know, it was the chase of trying to get the guy."
The pair used Apple's Find My iPhone app to track his iPhone, until they eventually pinpointed the thief carrying it. "I saw the gentleman on the bike and we followed it and kept tracking it and every time it would stop, the guy on the bike would stop," said Schmidgall.
The video, which now has more than 85,000 views on YouTube, shows the fight between Schmidgall and the iPhone robber, who exchanged various punches and caused some nasty injuries.
Torkelson, a photographer, filmed the fight until he eventually pepper-sprayed the thief and tried to make a citizen's arrest. Another man who claimed to be an off duty police officer stepped in until the police arrived.

Schmidgall's violent approach to retrieving his iPhone is certainly not one that we think should be adopted by others, though. When ABC asked him whether the iPhone was worth it, Schmidgall replied: "It's not the phone that's so much important. It's the people that get away with this kind of stuff all the time with cellphones being stolen."
Torkelson added: "Hopefully, he [the thief] won't try this again and that anybody else out there that's seen the video or is watching the segment will also think twice before stealing somebody's phone."

Book Description:English Church Monuments in the Middle Ages offers a comprehensive survey of English church monuments from the pre-Conquest period to the early sixteenth century. Ground-breaking in its treatment of the subject in an historical context, it explores medieval monuments both in terms of their social meaning and the role that they played in the religious strategies of the commemorated. Attention is given to the production of monuments, the pattern of their geographical distribution, the evolution of monument types, and the role of design in communicating the monument's message. A major theme is the self-representation of the commemorated as reflected in the main classes of effigy-those of the clergy, the knights and esquires, and the lesser landowner or burgess class, while the effigial monuments of women are examined from the perspective of the construction of gender. While seeking to use monuments as windows onto the experiences and lives of the commemorated, it also exploits documentary sources to show what they can tell us about the influences that helped shape the monuments. An innovative chapter looks at the construction of identity in inscriptions, showing how the liturgical role of the monument limited the opportunities for expressions of self. Nigel Saul seeks to place monuments at the very centre of medieval studies, highlighting their importance not only for the history of sculpture and design, but also for social and religious history more generally.

Today, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld necessary protections for the endangered Western Population of Steller sea lions. The measures were put in place by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in 2010 to reduce competition between large-scale commercial fisheries and endangered Steller sea lions. Oceana and Greenpeace, represented by Earthjustice, joined the federal government in successfully defending the regulations against legal attacks from the Seattle-based fishing industry and Alaskan state government, which had appealed an earlier District Court's decision also upholding the protections.
"This decision reinforces the importance of maintaining strong measures to protect Steller sea lions from the adverse effects of fishing, particularly in the western and central Aleutians," said Colin O'Brien, attorney for Earthjustice. "Not only is it important to protect sea lions in their own right, but the species is a key indicator of overall ecosystem health and fishery sustainability."
"Today's decision is a victory for healthy oceans," said Susan Murray, Oceana's Deputy Vice President, Pacific. "Steller sea lions in the Aleutian Islands have had a tough history, from being shot for sport to fisheries taking their food. We stopped shooting but continued to take their food. It is no surprise the animals aren't recovering, and our government had no choice but to place limits on fishing for important prey species. Hopefully the State and the fishing industry will stop fighting the law and science and help us move forward toward better management for our ocean resources."
The Western Population of Steller sea lions has declined by more than 80 percent, and sharp declines still persist in the western Aleutian Islands. The distinct population was first listed under the Endangered Species Act more than 20 years ago, and during that time the federal government and conservation agencies have fought for the establishment of prey protections for the struggling apex predator.
Industrial fishing in Alaska imposes a substantial impact and places unnatural stress on the marine ecosystem by removing billions of pounds of fish from the food web every year. The factory trawl and longline vessels take important prey, including Atka mackerel, Pacific cod, and pollock, that would otherwise be available as food for other animals like Steller sea lions.
"Instead of attacking the science, it's time for Alaska's fishing industry to start thinking about what can be done to prevent fur seals and other fish-eating species from joining sea lions on the endangered list," said John Hocevar, Oceans Campaign Director, Greenpeace. "The court's decision to uphold protections is great news for endangered Steller sea lions. There's no reason why we can't have both productive commercial fisheries and a healthy ecosystem, but we won't be able to do that unless decisions are based on the best available science and a precautionary approach."

"The first time I lowered the camera to the lake bottom, the value of this system became immediately apparent. Not only could I clearly see what my fishfinder had displayed, I could see fish relating to the structure."
"It was easy to find the depth of the fish and figure out what they were biting on. The camera was just the right size to drop into areas with lots of fish-holding branches, rocks and vegetation."

Social media: A communications revolution causes a packaging evolution
The company created a nine-question online survey, which presented five different labeling artwork concepts. Each design concept was applied to the regular and zero-sugar versions of the Verve Energy Drink.
Respondents were asked to rate several different attributes on a scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 being the highest rating)…evaluating how well the designs represented the following attributes: energy, health, premium/high end, creativity, and attractiveness. Respondents were also asked to rate if the designs were easy to read, and to rate keywords describing the sugar-free version. Choices were diet, sugar-free, skinny, light, and low-carb. They were asked if they thought Vemma should keep its can design or update it. Respondents were asked to choose which design was best overall.
A link to the survey was promoted on Facebook several times, sent to Vemma's Brand Partner focus group, distributed in weekly e-mail news, and to corporate office employees. Demographic information was also collected, such as number of shots consumed per week, age range, and gender. Photos of versions of the label design were posted on Facebook and followers were asked to comment on which they liked best and why.
Once the final design was chosen (based on the feedback received), an ad featuring a photo of the product with the winning label design was posted on Facebook in a photo caption contest. Followers were asked to come up with captions for the photo. A winning caption was chosen and the winner received a prize of Verve Energy Shot products.
"Through this social media network we were able to gain valuable insight and ultimately choose a design that represents the vitality of the brand and those who represent it," says Patterson.
Changing the company-consumer relationship
Scott A. Morris, director of the packaging program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign explains, "Social media is the use of technology to provide an interactive experience for the consumer, and has fundamentally changed the nature of the relationship between companies and customers.
"While the QR [Quick Response] codes on packages can be a beginning, by themselves they are just a link to a Web page or other content. The rest is up to the type of connection made by the QR code (or UPC scan or image recognition app). Companies intending to use this to their advantage have to realize that the content has to be compelling--you have to give consumers a reason to stay tuned in.
"Too many companies presume that they can put up a Facebook page or Web site for a particular product and those consumers will automatically flock to it and stay engaged. This can backfire--if you are not representing your product or service well and are not giving customers value or a reason to stay engaged, then you run the risk of representing your product or service as inferior or unappealing. A bad Web site or social media presence is usually worse than none at all."
Retail implications
Social media is also having an impact at the retail level. Believes Morris, "The 'old' store inventory model--even after much 'just-in-time' optimization--involved estimating in-store demand over time and having enough stock on hand to meet that demand between deliveries. Consumers might physically move from one store to another to comparison shop, but they had to rely on weekly sales information or media advertisements for information to assist with comparison shopping. With interactive media becoming a part of the retail landscape, consumers can comparison shop online, often right in the grocery aisle. They can shop for better prices, look at reviews from other consumers, and access a complete diversity of competing alternatives in a heartbeat. This has cut the cost of information and competing alternatives to nearly nothing for the consumer.
"Changes in the nature of the retail business have begun to move some segments of the market toward a power-law distribution where much of the customer population is in specialty areas, particularly where the costs of distribution and inventory are low. Put simply, even if your market is one-in-a-million worldwide, you have nearly seven thousand customers out there if you can find one another. More than that, online customers will flock to product diversity even over reduced prices--sell the customer exactly what they want and they will beat a path to your door. Specialty crafts markets such as etsy.com have been built on this and are very successful."
Morris says bricks-and-mortar consumer product stores will feel "substantial" effects. "It is possible to order into a store online and then pick up products that are not normally carried there. Most of the big retailers will do this, but consider what might happen as this becomes more granular? Could you order one tube of your favorite toothpaste at the corner drug even though they don't normally carry it? What affect will this have on the general inventory systems?," he asks.
Asked how he would best employ packaging and social media if he headed a consumer packaged goods company, Morris explains: "Think of the engagement first, and then the means and tools after that. It is an opportunity to connect to and engage with a potential customer. It is a source of customer interaction--listening to customers as well as talking at them--that can lead your new product development and new market exploration if done properly."
He suggests considering the following questions: How will you put your product in its best light to a population of people who are wise to fake viral videos and blogs, bogus Twitter feeds and overdone Web sites? How will you put your product's value in its best light? How will you keep them interested? Will you actually respond to customers in meaningful ways?
Morris believes, "The landscape of online marketing is very different now than it was five years ago, and it will be different in five years. It should not be treated as something 'those kids do with their phones,' but as a fundamental change in the way consumers access basic information from many sources, and in the way that they will be able to make judgments about products in real time. Staying ahead of the curve usually involves staying open-minded. Unfortunately, many companies are not at all comfortable with social media internally--company servers lock out social media sites, personal Facebook pages are watched, and many managers fear the breakdown of internal silo cultures. It is hard to adapt to social shifts externally when they aren't being considered internally. External change may have to be led by creative changes in internal culture."
Education benefits, too
Beyond its ability to link CPGs and consumers, social media could also help address concerns about the possible erosion of packaging skills due to job cutbacks and aging packaging veterans who are nearing or reaching retirement. For years, the packaging community has addressed this issue primarily in the form of financial scholarships, internships, equipment and material donations, educational and training seminars.
But a recent LinkedIn discussion exemplifies the opportunities in social media: A college student conducting research on pharmaceutical packaging asked about important trends and issues in the industry, inquiring about commonly used packaging materials and the advantages of packaging in-house versus using contract packaging services. Her question prompted several thoughtful responses from packaging pros from different levels within the supply chain.
Courtney Richards, promotion and events manager for Summit Media Group, says, "Not only do social media sites such as LinkedIn offer students access to industry professionals, but they also allow students to pose questions to these individuals, who might not be as accessible to students via more traditional communication vehicles."
Social media growth offers a powerful tool to those who understand how to harness that power. And financial investment in social media appears to confirm its growing power. As reported on ragan.com, an organization called Flowtown estimates that global companies spent about $480 million on social media advertising in 2006. That number is now $4.26 billion. Social networking adds account for an estimated 7% of all online ad spending, according to the report.

Oscar Pistorius Granted Bail in Murder Case
South African judge says double-amputee sprinter is too famous to escape unnoticed.
Olympian Oscar Pistorius stands following his bail hearing in Pretoria, South Africa, on Feb. 19, 2013.
Olympic sprinter and murder suspect Oscar Pistorius does not pose a flight risk, according to South African Magistrate Desmond Nair, and was granted bail Friday in a case involving the shooting death of the runner's girlfriend.
"I come to the conclusion that the accused made a case to be granted bail," Nair told the packed courtroom, leading Pistorius' family and supporters to cheer, according to Reuters.
[PHOTOS: Pistorius Charged With Murder]
In setting bail at 1 million rand ($113,000), Nair agreed with Pistorius' defense team, who argued that the double-amputee sprinter was too famous to escape trial unnoticed and posed no threat to witnesses.
Nair stipulated that Pistorius should turn in his passports and firearms, stay away from his home and any potential witnesses, not drink alcohol, and report to a police station twice a week until his next court appearance on June 4.
Pistorius is accused of killing his 29-year-old girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp, in his apartment on Feb. 14. In an affidavit submitted to the court earlier this week, Pistorius' legal team admits that Pistorius fired the four shots that killed Steenkamp. But the affidavit claims he woke in the early morning after hearing noises, mistook Steenkamp for a burglar, and fired his gun through the apartment's closed bathroom door in self defense, accidently killing her.
The prosecution claims Pistorius and Steenkamp had an argument that led her to lock herself in the bathroom. The prosecution says Pistorius shot through the door knowing she was behind it and argues the 26-year-old sprinter should be charged with premeditated murder, which carries a life sentence.
The dramatic nature of the case and the couple's celebrity status in South Africa have captivated the country and much of the world. The impassioned pleas and controversial testimony of the four-day bail hearing did nothing but increase the drama.
[READ: Excerpts of Court Affadvit}
Pistorius' lawyer Barry Roux coaxed the case's lead investigator, Detective Warrant Officer Hilton Botha, into a shaky testimony Wednesday, in which Botha acknowledge several mistakes in police work and admitted he could not rule out Pistorius' version of the incident.
"The poor quality of evidence presented by chief investigating officer Botha exposed the disastrous shortcomings in the state's case," Roux said of Botha's testimony.
South African police then dismissed Botha from the case Thursday after it was revealed that Botha himself currently faces seven charges of attempted murder.
Police brigadier Neville Malila told reporters that Botha and two other officers fired on a minivan they were attempting to stop in 2011.
"Botha and two other policemen allegedly tried to stop a minibus taxi with seven people," Malila said, according to the New York Times. "We were informed yesterday that the charges will be reinstated" after being dropped, he said.
Botha has claimed that he attempted to aim at the wheels of the minivan.
Botha has been removed from his post, and replaced by the country's most senior detective, Lt. Gen Vinesh Moonoo.

Vintage aircraft hold memories for Sequim man
Published on Wed, Jun 17, 2009 by
Brian Gawley
Read More
This week's arrival of the Collings Foundation
"Wings of Freedom Tour" at William R. Fairchild International Airport brings back some good memories for 85-year-old Sequim resident Hal Burch.
The annual nationwide tour of vintage World War II aircraft has made Clallam County a regular stop for the past several years because of people such as Burch, who flew one of this year's featured aircraft - the P-51 Mustang - in the last months of World War II.
"I was a young guy doing what I'd always dreamed of - flying," he said.
Burch moved to Sequim in 1989 and lives northwest of town with his wife, Nella, and his boxer Dusty.
He flew 35 missions in the P-51 Mustang long-range fighter from February 1945 until the war in Europe ended on May 8, 1945. Burch had three years of high school when he quit and began his flying career in the Civil Air Patrol in May 1941.
Then he enlisted as an Army Air Corps cadet in May 1942 when he turned 18. He made his first solo flight on Nov. 23, 1943, in Sikeston, Mo.
After graduating in the May 1944 Army Air Corps cadet class, he began training in the P-40 fighter, which he describes as "a good trainer." He'd never seen the P-51 until he arrived in Europe in February 1945.
"I had five hours flying time in it before I saw my first combat. I ruined my guns at first because I shot too much. I ended up in a great fighter group. We had a great commander, group leader, squadron leader and flight leader," Burch said.
"They're all gone now."
Only the first two of Burch's 35 missions were bomber escort. The rest involved strafing enemy aircraft on the ground. He didn't participate in air-to-air combat or "dogfighting."
When U.S. pilots saw a large grassy area surrounded by a lot of trees, they knew it was an airstrip, so they shot at the aircraft hidden in the trees, he said.
"I'm glad we didn't do more of those bomber escorts. They were sad to see. I have the utmost respect for those bomber boys.
"The anti-aircraft flak was the worst part. We would see it exploding and the bombers would fly right into it as we pulled off. It was disheartening to see," Burch said.
The strafing runs had their own dangers for the
fighter pilots, though. Burch said probably his worst experience was getting hit and losing his airplane's hydraulics and oxygen.
"Oh yeah, we were shot back at. We had a few holes. We lost a lot of pilots," he said.
His longest mission was eight hours, which required the airplane to be fitted with two 150-gallon fuel tanks beneath the wings.
The P-51 was the first fighter with enough range to escort bombers to their targets and back instead of turning back short of the target and leaving the bombers unprotected. That allowed daytime bombing raids
deep into Nazi territory to begin in late 1943.
"The P-51 was a fantastic aircraft. It did everything. It was great. We were lucky to have it. The P-51's only drawback was that its belly was full of radiators and pipes. If you got a bullet in there, you were done," he said.
After the war, Burch went home and started a business, got married, had a son. Then he received a letter that began with the familiar draft board salutation "Greetings."
Thus began what was to become a 20-year career in the military. He was sent to weapons director training, became a flight commander and then received a headquarters position, retiring as a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force.
During his career, Burch flew monitoring aircraft along the West Coast from Canada to the Mexican border and 100 miles out into the Pacific, watching for Soviet bombers.
He also flew out of Taiwan during the Vietnam War, tracking fighters to ensure they avoided Chinese
Burch loves flying so much he built a Kitfox aircraft in his garage and used it to fly all over the area with his wife.
He's a member of Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 430.

Can you post a link on your site to a video over at videohive that is using your track and receive payment if a new customer follows that link?
Might be a dumb question but, can you have a link on your AJ profile page with the referral code in it that directs to your own tracks? Or any links on your profile page must be directed somewhere else?
Sorry if these seem like dumb questions but I've read the affiliate page and am still confused.

There's no such thing as a silly question. All referral codes WITHIN the marketplaces do not work. It's purposely set up that way to prevent abuse. All referral codes used EXTERNALLY (e.g. YouTube, your own site/blog, in an e-mail signature) – they will all work. Refer away, SkyProductions!

Here's the info via the WNC Alliance email newsletter. For more on the local public hearing on Progress Energy's proposed rate hikes see previous Xpress coverage
On March 5, the Utilities Commission will hold a public hearing in Asheville on Progress Energy's proposed rate hikes.
They want to raise our rates to pay for extending the lifeline of coal and gas in North Carolina.
Instead, Progress should invest heavily in energy efficiency and renewable energy, which would cost less in the long run and protect human health and the environment.
Join us to speak out for a clean energy future and call on the Utilities Commission to reject the rate hikes.
We're offering a training session on what to expect at the rate hike hearing and how we can amplify our collective voice at the proceedings:
Rate Hikes Public Hearing Training Session:
When: 6-8 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 27
Where: 34 Wall St., third floor
Who: Your neighbors, friends and family.
We can make a difference in the rate hike hearings this year, but we will only win this if we are all in!
If you have questions or comments, please contact Emma Greenbaum at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling (520) 275-4812.

One of the more frustrating things for Hog fans this season has been watching the success of other first-year coaches in the SEC, but it's unfair to compare Bielema's record to theirs. Each coach inherits a different situation.
Some last thoughts on the Rutgers game and reliving an all-too-familiar feeling.
Maui is great, but what exactly is the goal of a basketball non-conference schedule with zero true road games and no Syracuse or Michigan-caliber home games?
I'm not anti-Little Rock, but I am anti-Great Stadium Debate, and I'm ready to move on.
Against Louisiana-Lafayette, the Razorbacks put together a very different, but successful pair of drives to open the game and just before halftime. What can we learn from that?
Much of the conversation during the last few weeks of camp has focused on various Razorback traditions. Some are changing, and some of those by the school's design and some are being forced on us. Is all this okay?
In the event players ever begin to get paid for their likeness in college sports, how would Arkansas fare?
It's the first time we've really seen Bielema have to display a toughness necessary defend himself and fight back. If he can instill that trait in the football team, it could be vital for the success of this season.
The SEC sites on SB Nation were instructed to do a series to determine the biggest disaster in their program's history. We thought, "aw, that's cute. But really, a series is unnecessary."
He should have his own mic.

MiniSeal II semi-automatic heat sealer supplied complete with two plate adaptor blocks, plate weight and line cord.
The new MiniSeal II semi-automatic plate sealer builds on the reputation of our earlier Minseal design for robustness and an ability to seal most types of plate. For users who need a tight seal on deep well plates, conventional sealers may not offer sufficient down force to guarantee a good seal.
With powerful stepper motor control and a mighty 450 watts of heating power available, the new MiniSeal II copes effortlessly with PCR, filter-bottomed, assay and deep well plates, EVEN if the plate itself is distorted or bowed. Easy to set up with simple up/down programming for both sealing time and sealing temperature, the MiniSeal II also boasts a robust drawer design that ensures excellent conformance to health & safety regulations.
With so much available power, sealing times for most polypropylene plates with Porvair seals are less than 3 seconds each. Sealed plates are automatically ejected from the MiniSeal II. With a footprint smaller than a sheet of A4 paper and weighing just 6kgs, this electrically-driven sealer is ideal for small bench spaces.
MiniSeal 2 Automatic Single Plate Heat Sealer 110v / 230v Features:
- Desktop semi-automatic Heat Applied Plate Sealing System
- Seal SBS format micro well plates and tubes
- Seals plates of any height from 9 - 48mm
- Temperature range from ambient to 200ºC
- Seal time from 0.1 - 9.9 seconds
- Simple slide operation
- Combined temperature and seal time display
- Light weight system, only 6kgs (14lbs)
- 110V / 220V 50/60 Hz compatible
- No compressed air required
