You could see this coming though, couldn't you? The Suns had won 6 in a row, capped by their performance against the New York Knicks. Jeff Hornacek said that game may have been the best game of the season for his team.
So what did they do against the impotent LOS Angeles Lakers? They played one of their worst games of the year. Isn't youth grand?
It happens. There doesn't need to be a reason why they didn't play well; and although there will be eight million theories as to why they got beat by the Lakers the truth is nobody knows.
They were playing a team that was, is and will be down and out for a while. They have had a propensity to sleep on teams that aren't good and rally against teams that are. They have a difficult schedule coming up, playing three Western Conference playoff teams in the coming week. The writing was on the wall when they scored 15 points in the first quarter. And it went downhill from there.
Hopefully, there will be another peak to climb when the playoffs begin. But in the grand scheme of things these are the losses that turn into wins when a young team matures.

The UFC on FUEL TV 7: "Barao vs. McDonald" main card kicked off today (Sat., Feb. 16, 2013) from Wembley Stadium in London, England, with a welterweight scrap pitting home hero Che Mills against hated heel Matt Riddle.
Mills is still picking up the pieces after his loss to Rory MacDonald back in April of last year, though he has recorded a first round technical knockout victory in the meantime, even if it was thanks to a knee injury suffered by Duane Ludwig. Riddle, a brawling buddy if there ever was one, actually came in riding high on three straight victories, though one was overturned due to a failed drug test.
Stay away from pot, y'all.
You should also try to stay away from Riddle's suffocating takedowns and control, something Mills was unable to do throughout the entirety of the opening round. There was little to no legitimate action, sure, but if the uneven judging in MMA has taught us anything, it's that controlling your opponent is a points earning strategy.
So much for that brawling insanity, huh?
The second round played out in a similar fashion. Riddle's positioning was superior, his passing was scoring him even more points, and his submission attempts sealed the deal. You may have been able to hear crickets in the arena but winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.
And Riddle was dominating.
For the first minute of the final frame, Mills finally got the chance to wing a few punches at his opponent's dome. He did just that too, swinging hard and connecting a few times to a thunderous applause from the British faithful. He never landed clean, though, and Riddle stayed fresh enough to shoot in for another takedown and clinch.
That was all she wrote.
Anyone enjoy the new Matt Riddle?

Kansas City, Mo., police said they arrested a man Sunday who is accused of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend.
The victim, Jaqui N. VanBebber, was located safe earlier in the day.
The suspect in the kidnapping, David E. Morgan, 39, was arrested Sunday night, police said.
Police said Morgan apparently forced his way into a home about 4 a.m. Sunday in search of his ex-girlfriend, VanBebber.
Investigators said Morgan fought with another man inside the home and then forced his ex to leave with him.
Officers searched the area but said they were unable to find Morgan immediately.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call 911.

Make embedded video (.wmv) download only when played by user.
Hi, on my website www.maltawildplants.com I have an introduction video of 2mins which is about 35Mb. I wish I could make it take less space while keeping a good quality, but I have failed. Maybe I am not using the right converter.
Now my approach is different. Currently, every time one visits the site, the massive file is downloaded, even if it is not played. I wish that the file is downloaded only when the user press play button, with perhaps a short message stating video downloading and starting in 10 seconds.
(2) I also wish that when the player is static, instead of a black empty screen, there will be an image (maybe a frame from the video), like youtube style.
How can I achieve these aims please?

Sorry, the web is working.
I have just replaced the whole thing with a javascript slideshow. The history of this was that initially I had a java-script animation but recently it gave permanent security errors so wanted to avoid javascript and thought of an animation instead, but that also had its drawbacks (large size). Through this forum (thanks Pullo!) I have now reverted to another popular java slideshow hoping this will not have security issues in few years if the project is abandoned.
It was good to learn thanks to you, that my goal was quite impossible and should avoid wmv files. The youtube suggestion was not a bad idea actually - didn't pass from my mind

Scharff Weisberg helped the Eos Orchestra turn the room inside out for their recent fundraising event at Capitale. The company provided a video and lighting package that was used to help patrons experience the orchestra from the conductor's and musicians' points of view.
"This is a very important event, where we raise up to a quarter of our annual funding," commented Eos Orchestra's Curtis Dunn. "This year, the title and theme was 'Sound Surround,' a reversal of the phrase 'surround sound,' where we tried to show our patrons the perspective of being in the orchestra."
Rather than a traditional seating arrangement with the audience seated behind the conductor facing the orchestra, the audience was seated within each section of the orchestra so that they could see what the musicians see. Simultaneously, two Imag cameras captured the orchestra from the conductor's perspective and displayed his POV on screens set up at either end of the hall.
An auction followed the performance and was supported by video clips and stills. For the dinner portion of the event, patrons listened to a jazz band and viewed Imag video clips of the orchestra's past nine seasons, and a PowerPoint retrospective of the press they have received over the years.
"We were asked to transform an otherwise grand space into an intimate event," comments Christien Methot of design one, who designed the lighting. "To do this, we went about toning down the color in the surrounding space, used saturated colors in the ceiling and did everything in our power to focus the energy of the room into the center where the orchestra was playing. It was very effective, and as usual, Scharff Weisberg came through with flying colors. Everything went off without a hitch."
The video projection system supplied by Scharff Weisberg consisted of two Barco R10 10,000 lumen primary video projectors and two Barco R6 video projectors shooting on two 15'x 20' Stumpl screens. Sources included a laptop computer, DVCam playback and live camera switched through a Panasonic MX-50 and two Folsom Screen Pro switchers assigning imagery to each screen. A Midas Heritage 1000 mixing console, microphones, signal processing and equalization components feeding the venue's sound system supported the jazz ensemble. The lighting system consisted of six VL3000s™, eight MAC 2000 washes as well as 12 Color Kinetics color blasts.
"Scharff Weisberg has always been great," concluds Eos's Dunn. "With our tenth anniversary season approaching, we have made the commitment to incorporate a lot more multimedia into our performances and plan to use them to meet all of our AV and lighting needs for the coming year."

Newburyport Daily News
---- — To the editor:
The Supreme Court's recent ruling that encourages voter suppression is just another factor in trying to control the outcome of our elections in a power struggle between the two political parties. The people of this nation are rising up against these attempts to take away their freedom to vote for the politicians they hope will represent them in Washington to meet their needs and aspirations for a productive life for them and their children and grandchildren.
In past elections, voter machines were rigged to produce ballots that were the opposite of what a person actually voted for. In the state of Florida when people showed up to vote, they were intimidated by police to turn away from voting. Many of the polling stations had all of their ballots just disappear and were never counted. In other parts of the country whole neighborhoods were flooded with printed fliers with false information about what day, time and place to vote to eliminate their votes. They pulled the same trick about political rallies so that the candidates would show up at empty stadiums and they couldn't get their message out to the people.
When the Supreme Court passed the law that allowed corporations to donate unlimited amounts of money to the candidates they wanted in the White House, that was just another trick to take away the freedoms of the American public at large. Demanding voter I.D. cards from people who can't afford to get them – people in the inner cities who don't have cars or a driver's license to help them qualify as voters is just another trick to suppress votes. Making people wait in long lines for hours to cast a vote on certain days or times was another voter suppression tactic.
Well, I have faith in the American people that they will see through all these tricks and defeat them and preserve their right to vote and keep our nation a democracy.

Before UFC 164: "Henderson vs. Pettis 2" main card kicked off on pay-per-view (PPV) tonight (Sat., Aug. 31, 2013) from BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisc., an entire seven-bout "Prelims" under card was broadcast on Facebook and FOX Sports 1, respectively.
This installment of the "Prelims" had its up and downs but still proved that sometimes there are fights that surely cannot be missed before the PPV broadcast.
Headlining the "Prelims" was a fight between two seasoned vets, as former World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) Lightweight champion Jamie Varner was looking for his third Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) win against Gleison Tibau, who was in his 20th career-fight inside the Octagon.
It was the Brazilian who outlasted the former champion, getting the nod from the judges.
Varner looked sharp bouncing from side to side as the stocky Tibau tried to keep up with the pace. Varner leaped in with a right hand and clocked Tibau with a left hook. Varner was momentarily stunned by Gleison's power but the Brazilian could not capitalize as he hit him, missing a flying knee. Not too much action in the first round, as the crowd was getting a bit restless. Tibau was catching Varner every time he leaped in, which sort of made for a cautious approach by Varner. Tibau took Varner down with brute strength, moving him against the cage at will and doing some work against the fence.
Varner had a guillotine early in the second round but judging from Tibau's size, it was probably the reason Varner could not capitalize and secure the choke around the Brazilian's neck. Tibau ended up on top and was smothering Varner on the ground, moving him around the mat wherever he pleased. Tibau ended up on top of Varner and getting his back and eventually mounted him -- making it difficult for Varner to eat all the shots from the bottom for the majority of the round.
Varner started to go for it in the third round with nothing to lose but Tibau took him down again. Varner got up immediately and was the quicker fighter in the round, pushing Tibau backwards on several occasions. Varner looked to have hurt his right hand, as he shakes it off after every punch. Varner was looking for takedowns and eventually got one, with Varner dishing out elbows from the top position. Not enough for Varner though, as Tibau goes 28-9 and Varner goes 3-3 in his UFC career.
Tim Elliott put the flyweight division on watch, as he decisively beat Louis Gaudinot over the course of three rounds in the co-main event of the "Prelims."
An early eye poke in the opening seconds stalled the action a bit and shortly after, Elliott landed a huge punch and took down Gaudinot. After an unsuccessful guillotine attempt, Gaudinot shot back up and both flyweights traded fists in an action packed-round. Elliott took Gaudinot down again and unleashed some hammerfists but Gaudinot was doing his best to fight from the bottom and got back up once again. Elliott rocked Gaudinot with some knees and took him down once more, capping off an aggressive first round for Elliott.
A bloody Gaudinot came out in the second round guns blazing but Elliott was using kicks very effectively and was confusing Gaudinot with his switching of stances. Elliott proved to be the stronger competitor by outmuscling Gaudinot on the ground and dished out some hard body shots and elbows to the head.
Although Gaudinot tried to hit Elliott as much as he could in the third round and tried to attack from the bottom, he continued to take a beating -- as Elliott stuck to the gameplan by brutalizing his opponent on the ground. Elliott outworked Gaudinot for the entire duration of the round and although Gaudinot looked for a guillotine, he was too tired to do anything significant.
Elliott goes 2-1 in the UFC, improving his record to 10-3-1. The Ultimate Fighter alumni Gaudinot will should get another UFC shot, being 1-2 in the promotion as of now.
Hyun Gyu Lim got a devastating knockout over Pascal Krauss, getting his second straight stoppage in the same fashion over Pascal Krauss, who is now 2-2 in the promotion.
Both men stood in front each other and traded blows, with Lim throwing everything into his shots. After both men had some good moments, Lim rocked Krauss badly with right hands as Krauss was wobbly and started to fall down on his own. After he tried to take Lim down, "The Ace" kept standing on his feet and started to connect some more. As Krauss tried to avoid his opponent's punches against the fence, Lim faked a punch and hit Krauss right in the face with a devastating left knee that had Krauss drop and left him unconscious.
Lim is now 2-0 in the UFC with seven-straight stoppages.
Opening up the Fox Sports 1 broadcast was an impressive performance by both Kyung Ho Kang and Chico Camus, even though both bantamweights have a few things to work on Monday morning. In a very close fight, Chico Camus may have won the fight because of his second round performance and his upkick very late in the third round, as Kang may have been victim of a hometown decision.
Kang looked pretty sharp with his kicks and the ability to use his reach in the first round, timing a takedown perfectly when Camus missed a punch. Ho Kang spent to the majority of the round on top, until a failed omoplata attempt nearly cost him as Camus jumped back to his feet and wildly started to rain down punches but the sound of the horn came too quickly for "King" Camus.
Kang was working well on the ground again in the second round, and was trying to transition into better positioning for the majority of the round. A reversal by Camus saw him take advantage of Kang who was not as good off of his back. Camus had Kang in a guillotine but it was not sunken in properly however Camus still finished the round strong by connecting with some punches and took his back once more before the horn sounded.
In the third round, after Camus hurt Kang with a body shot, he tried to capitalize as his opponent crouched down but Kang rolled over to get the reversal as Camus found himself beneath him and stayed there for a moment until he landed a huge upkick on Kang and swarmed him. Yves Lavigne was maybe a split-second away from calling the fight but the horn sounded for the final time.
A really close fight to call but a 30-27 scorecard for Camus was just laughable. A bit of a questionable decision, as Kang should not have lost all three scorecards.
Headlining the Facebook "Prelims" was a fight made out of the movies, as "The Hulk" took on "Al Capone."
Nikita Krylov, who had never seen the second round in his 14-fight career made his promotional debut against another the returning, Sao Palelei. Although this was a fight to forget, Palelei stopped Krylov in the third round.
Palelei caught Krylov's first kick of the bout and was picked up for a big takedown from Palelei and got some harsh warnings for holding onto the fence. Krylov bounced back though, with a combination that had Palelei in trouble before " The Hulk" brought him down again. Palelei tried to get his opponent in a neck-crank but Krylov was countering with a cradle, something Joe Rogan says he has not seen in a while but it looked all looked a little sloppy to be considered legit in the big leagues.
The fight was a little uneventful until there was two minutes left in the round, as Krylov was trying to finish Palelei but "The Hulk" was counter-attacking with some shots that showed he was still in the fight -- no matter how sloppy it was becoming. Krylov was unable to put significant combinations together to put away his exhausted counterpart.
Palelei came out in the third round still pretty tired but was able to put away Krylov after connecting with a big right hand followed by some ground and pound. After complaining about his ribs to his corner in between rounds, he mentions to Rogan that he broke them last week. Definitely tough to want to see these guys in the UFC again.
Ryan Couture was in need of a win to solidify his status in the UFC but despite his toughness, he could not find a way to trouble the fast and powerful Al Iaquinta.
Both athletes came out looking for the money shot, as Iaquinta was changing his striking stances often and got the better of Couture early in the fight. Couture was looking for the clinch after he was clocked by a solid right hand, and was taken down after a powerful legkick but he looked a little distraught with Iaquinta's speed. After Couture hit Iaquinta with a flying knee, he started to find his range with a beautiful combination but Iaquinta took him down to end the round and delivered some big shots in the ground and pound for good measure.
In the second round, Couture took a play out of his father's book by clinching Iaquinta against the cage and giving him no space to breathe after he took his back for a few seconds on the ground. Iaquinta kept on landing his familiar right hand throughout the fight, and pushed Couture back with a big one halfway through the second round. Iaquinta finished the round with another takedown.
Couture starting to pick up the pace with a beautiful spinning back-kick, and worked the takedown for a minute but Iaquinta shot back up powerfully once he was down momentarily. Couture's most significant moment is when he hit the Serra-Longo fight team product with a flying knee that rocked him back. While Couture was doing well with his striking and more specifically his kicks, Iaquinta tried to go for the finish with some devastating body shots and solid shots to the dome but Couture showed he could definitely take a punch. After Couture went down at the end of the third round, Iaquinta was putting it on him again but could not finish his bloodied but intensely durable opponent.
The Ultimate Fighter 15 finalist potentially saves his job with his first UFC win and Couture's future is somewhat unpredictable at the moment.
The first fight of the night that kicked off the action was broadcasted on Facebook, where Magnus Cedenblad won his promotional debut in less than a minute by submitting Jared Hamman.
Hamman was keeping Cedenblad at bay with some kicks early and went for the takedown on a few occasions. Cedenblad was striking well but did not trouble Hamman until "The Messenger" shot for a takedown and was caught in a nasty guillotine choke, courtesy of Cedenblad. The Swede secures his first UFC victory with his eighth first-round stoppage. Hamman has been stopped his last three fights, going 2-5 in the UFC and is probably on his way out.
Here are the complete results from UFC 164: "Prelims" Card:
Gleison Tibau vs. Jamie Varner -- Tibau wins by split decision (29-28x2, 28-29)
Tim Elliott vs. Louis Gaudinot -- Elliott wins by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-26x2)
Pascal Krauss vs. Hyun Gyu Lim -- Lim wins by TKO (knee and strikes) at 3:58 of round one.
Chico Camus vs. Kyung Ho Kang -- Camus wins by unanimous decision (29-28x2, 30-27)
Nikita Krylov vs. Soa Palelei -- Palelei wins by TKO (strikes) at 1:34 of round 3.

Community Hospital in Munster has once again been recognized as one of America's 50 best hospitals by Healthgrades, making it the only hospital in Indiana to achieve this distinction six-years in a row. Community Hospital Chief Executive Officer Don Flesko says, "this achievement is a testament to the systems we have in place, and the doctors and healthcare professionals who put quality and excellence in patient-first care...it demonstrates to the community we serve that we are focused on the things that matter most to our people." Healthgrades distinction is based solely on clinical outcomes, and each year only one-percent of the nearly 45-hundred hospitals evaluated across the nation annually qualify for this achievement.
Other distinctions that Community Hospital has recently received from Healthgrades include:
· Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence®, 2004-2013
· Only hospital in Northwest Indiana among America's 100 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Care™ and for Cardiac Surgery™, 2012 and 2013
· Top 5% in the nation for Women's Health, 2012
· Top 10% in the nation for Treatment of Stroke, 2012
· Top 10% in the nation for Gastrointestinal (GI) services, 2012
· Top 10% in the nation for the Outstanding Patient Experience three years in a row: 2010, 2011 and 2012

"We're all about the voluntary approach," the SHRM's Horn said.
A March survey by the Labor Department found that voluntary paid leave policies cover about 12 percent of the U.S. workforce.
The survey also found that about half of all new mothers take no leave and return immediately to work. And the main reason people don't use the leave when they need it is because they can't afford to.
Tom Nides, a former deputy secretary of state under Hillary Rodham Clinton and current vice chairman of Morgan Stanley, is one of several business leaders, along with the Main Street Alliance, the American Sustainable Business Council and others, who have thrown their support behind the federal proposal for paid family leave.
Although Nides's wife works and his firm offers four weeks of paid parental leave, he said it was during his tenure at the State Department that he first became aware of how much new parents struggle to take time off and to pay for it.
"I was flabbergasted," he said. "Shame on me, but I had no idea how they were borrowing vacation days from friends and co-workers, four days here, five days there, to be able to afford time with their new babies. I thought, 'This is insane. How can we operate as a country like this?' [Paid leave] is just the right thing to do."

Some residents of Quincy, Wash., home of massive data centers operated by Microsoft, Yahoo and others, are growing concerned about pollution from backup diesel generators at the data centers, and on Wednesday they'll have the chance to discuss the issue.
The Washington State Department of Ecology is holding a public meeting on Wednesday evening in Quincy for residents to comment on an application from Dell for permission to use 28 generators powered by diesel engines.
[ Also on InfoWorld: How eBay's data center benefited from solar. | Stay ahead of the key tech business news with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: First Look newsletter. | Read Bill Snyder's Tech's Bottom Line blog for what the key business trends mean to you. ]
Quincy, a town of around 6,000 people, will have 141 back-up generators once those belonging to Dell, and others that have been permitted or are in line for permission, are put in place. While the generators are designed to be used only in the rare case of an electricity outage, the data center operators turn them on regularly for testing.
On average, the companies are permitted to turn on each generator for 103 hours per year. If they use that maximum running time, data center generators in Quincy would run for the equivalent of 40 hours per day on average.
The Department of Ecology says diesel emissions, when breathed in, have been known to create or worsen a variety of health problems, including heart disease, asthma, and lung cancer.
Some residents, including former mayor Patty Martin, wonder about the health impact of the diesel emissions on the community. She thinks the generators should use the same types of devices to reduce emissions that are required by other Washington cities such as Olympia and Moses Lake.
Such devices aren't necessary in Quincy, said Karen Wood, section supervisor for air quality in Eastern Washington for the Department of Ecology. Because Olympia is a much bigger city it already has high diesel emissions from other sources, so a new data center there was required to reduce its emissions, she said.
"Whereas in Quincy, the background emissions are very low. There's not a lot of industry there. And the wind blows 325 days a year," she said.
Each time one of the data centers applies for permits to add new generators, Ecology studies the impact, taking into consideration diesel emissions from nearby sources such as trucks and the railroad, the agency said. It models the emissions based on the maximum permitted use of the generators to determine if they will cause pollution that harms nearby residents.
Still, Martin worries that many people in Quincy may not be aware of the potential risks of the emissions. "The people have to say we're willing to accept the risk based on the benefits. But the people don't know what they are," she said.
According to Martin, nearly three-quarters of the population of Quincy is Hispanic, yet most of the public notices about the data center permission process are posted in English newspapers. Earlier this year, Ecology said it ran ads about meetings regarding Yahoo's request to add new generators in the local Spanish language newspaper, but it later admitted the ads weren't published due to an error.

The Federal Reserve's new stimulus program failed to excite skeptical investors, who bid stocks higher for several hours before erasing those gains to end the day largely unchanged.
Stocks pushed higher after the Federal Reserve said it would introduce new asset purchases to replace its current stimulus program known as Operation Twist, which ends this month. Paul Vigna has details on The News Hub. Photo: AP.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished with a decline of 2.99 points, or 0.02%, to 13245.45, snapping a five-day winning streak that had pushed the blue-chip index to a one-month high.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index edged up 0.64 points, or 0.04%, to 1428.48, extending its winning streak to six days. The Nasdaq Composite gave up 8.49 points, or 0.28%, to 3013.81.
Oil futures rose 1.1% to about $86.77 a barrel, while gold futures gained 0.5% to $1,716.60 an ounce. The dollar fell against the euro but jumped against the yen. Treasurys fell, pushing the yield on the benchmark 10-year note higher to 1.699%.
Stocks began the day quietly, trading roughly around the flat line ahead of the Fed's expected announcement that it would buy $45 billion in Treasurys each month, in addition to the $40 billion in mortgage-backed securities it purchases each month. The program will replace its current stimulus program known as Operation Twist, which ends this month.
However, the central bank also said that it would keep interest rates at near-zero rates as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6.5% and inflation remains in check, surprising investors who did not expect the Fed to explicitly tie its interest-rate policy to the unemployment rate.
The Fed decision sent the Dow up as many as 81 points. But blue chips relinquished those gains later in the afternoon as investors reassessed the implications of the decision.
"If they're going to keep their accommodative policy until the unemployment rate gets to 6.5%, they'll be at it for a long time," said Keith Bliss, senior vice president at Cuttone Co. "It's clear to me that they're trying to inflate assets and really gin up consumer spending... I expect we'll get that initial pop, but then people will step back and say, 'What is the real efficacy of this for the real economy?' And it's getting less and less with each effort."
Separately, investors continued to watch negotiations on the "fiscal cliff", a bundle of tax increases and spending cuts set to take place in the new year, provided Congress doesn't act to avert those changes. On Wednesday, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor seemed to dampen hopes of a near-term breakthrough. Late Tuesday, President Barack Obama said that he was optimistic about budget talks between him and House Speaker John Boehner.

Elsewhere, an unexpected decline in euro-zone industrial production in October was offset by U.K. data showing a surprise decline in claims for unemployment benefits in November.
Asian markets were broadly higher as strong gains in U.S. markets helped fuel optimism. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average gained 0.6% to an eight-month high, while the Hang Seng Index rallied 0.8% to its highest level since August 2011.
Elsewhere in economic headlines, import prices declined 0.9% in November from the month before, marking the first decline in four months. The reading, which was lower than expected, came as softening petroleum prices helped reduce inflation pressures.
The U.S. federal budget deficit, meanwhile, widened to $172.11 billion, 25% higher than the $137.30 billion shortfall during the same month a year earlier. The reading was higher than expected.

So, how much is this stuff normally?
I just found the site and it says the bundle (without the code) is like $149.
A savings of about $23US.....nice, but nothing spectacular...?
Not sure what I'm missing here?
$149 here:
It was $299 for the LR/Aperture version and $499 for the PS version when I bought it On Feb 9. The version you can now get for $125/$149 is the full PS version at that price.
So I am attempting to look at it as having gotten an upgrade to the PS version for free instead of having blown an extra $150 to have it 2 weeks earlier.

Douglas Laboratories Multi-Probiotic 4000 - 100 Capsules
Douglas Laboratories Multi-Probiotic 4000 contains over four billion beneficial organisms, including representatives of both the lactobacillus and bifidobacterium genera, mixed in a base of prebiotic fructooligosaccharide. Oral supplements of live, beneficial intestinal microorganisms for nutritional health and well-being are known as probiotics. Probiotic dietary lactobacilli colonize the intestinal tract, depending on the specific bacterium-to-host affinity. Bacteria are continually in competition for colonization space. The original bacterial colonies have an advantage over transient bacteria. Nevertheless, the composition of the intestinal microflora is dynamic and constantly changing. If harmful microorganisms proliferate, the equilibrium is disturbed, and it becomes difficult even for indigenous bacteria to maintain their necessary territory to colonize the intestine. Antibiotics tend to kill off both beneficial and harmful bacteria, and thus may also disturb the normal, healthy balance of intestinal microorganisms. When potent probiotic supplements, such as MultiProbiotic 4000, are supplied regularly, chances are greatly increased for establishing and maintaining a healthy population of beneficial intestinal microorganisms. Once established, a normal intestinal microflora rich in lactobacilli creates acidic conditions that are unfavorable for the settlement of pathogenic microorganisms. Multi-Probiotic 4000 capsules may be a useful dietary supplement for those who wish to support their intestinal microflora with meaningful amounts of beneficial microorganisms.

Jay Groves and co-workers at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley have invented a novel means for analyzing the molecular interactions on lipid membrane surfaces. The technology enables rapid, high throughput screening of compounds that bind a given membrane receptor protein, making it of great potential utility in drug discovery and development.
The biological processes occurring at the cell membrane are the subject of intense interest, with most drugs and infectious diseases targeting the cell membrane. Experimental analysis of the membrane surface has previously been performed using lipid membranes supported on solid substrates, such as silica or polymers. However, this method requires techniques such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRF) to detect the associated interactions. SPR and TIRF have a number of associated drawbacks, including: high cost, sub-optimal sensitivity, and incompatibility with high-throughput screening processes.
The Berkeley Lab technology surmounts these problems by using colloidal particles coated with the membrane phospholipid bilayer. This colloid-lipid bilayer closely mimics the natural fluidity of the actual cell membrane. Receptor proteins can be readily embedded in the bilayer coating for further functional analysis, such as the screening of putative ligands. The specific binding of a ligand to an embedded receptor protein then triggers a change in the distribution of the lipid-coated beads.
These properties confer a number of key advantages over existing technologies. Crucially, changes can be easily visualized using a conventional light microscope or by high throughput screening devices, such as an imaging plate reader. Also of key importance is the significantly improved sensitivity over SPR by at least two orders of magnitude. This enables the screening of ligands for certain receptors such as G-protein coupled receptors at their native concentration which is not possible using SPR. Lastly, the relative affinity of a given receptor for different ligands can also be easily quantified by measuring the spatial distribution of the beads.
The system could be used as a rapid, cost-effective, and labor-saving means of screening for drugs that may bind a given receptor protein of therapeutic interest. The binding capability of protein drugs, such as monoclonal antibodies can also be measured. Furthermore, the high sensitivity of the system, down to picomolar concentrations, lends itself to biosensing applications such as in biodefense.

COVINGTON- The attorney for a Covington Police Officer, punished for arresting high school football referees, and now under investigation again, says the police chief is retaliating against his client for fighting back.
A recorded conversation between Covington Police Chief Tim Lentz, and one of the referees arrested by Covington Sgt. Stephen Short at an October football game, has set off a new controversy.
Short, who was suspended for ten days and demoted for the arrests, requested that phone recording and two others for his appeal of that punishment, set for next month. But Lentz said in Short's request, he gave exact dates, times and parties of those conversations that occurred on police department phone lines, which are recorded. That put up red flags for Lentz, who is now looking into how Short may have accessed those recordings to know they existed, if he had help to do so and whether those actions are possible violations of department policy. Short is on paid administrative leave during the probe.
Chief Lentz declined an on-camera interview, citing the pending investigation, but Short's attorney says how they knew about the recordings shouldn't matter.
Michael Fawer said, "It strikes me, that as long ago as Watergate, when Nixon tried to exert executive privilege, in response to a subpoena, the Supreme Court told him that he can't do it, and this is no different."
Eyewitness News spoke to a civil service expert about this situation, who says, while there may be a department rule in Covington regarding improper access to information, the investigation seems to be a stretch.
"How have they been able to identify Mr. Short as accessing the database," asked Attorney Eric Hessler, "It could have been passed on to him, it could have been passed on to his attorney by a third party so it sort of seems like they're putting the cart before the horse a little bit."
It's a situation that seems to be growing, instead of getting closer to an end.
The chief has 60 days to complete his investigation, which includes an interview with Short within 30 days.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
There are only a handful of shops worldwide as iconic as the Joseph on 77 Fulham Road, or known in the fashion world simply as 77. With a prized position in the heart of South Kensington, Joseph is flanked on both sides by some other icons: Daphne's, Princess Diana's favorite restaurant; Boujis, her son Harry's current nightclub of choice; and, of course, Bibendum in the Michelin House, where loyal customers have been enjoying oysters and champagne for generations. That was where yours truly first met the late, great Joseph Ettedgui in 2003, sipping his espresso and puffing a cigar, those eyes squinting behind his trademark round glasses in the glorious October sun, as he put his paper down to fill me in on details of the project at that moment in his life—the renovation of his home. During our many conversations, a constant stream of people was always stopping to say hello. Joseph Ettedgui was the most popular guy in the hood, his charms and charisma irresistible.
September 14 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of 77, and celebrations are afoot for the man who brought Kenzo, Castelbajac, Alaïa, and Yamamoto to the world and who basically created the mold for concept stores like Colette and Dover Street Market. Celebrations start by revealing twenty-five quotes from Joseph's nearest and dearest, like Naomi Campbell, Katie Grand, and Alexandra Shulman, and they'll live on the Joseph Web site during London fashion week.
There will also be a window during LFW designed by Vanity Fair's Michael Roberts, a great friend and confidante of Joseph's who, back in the day, worked as a stylist and was all but Joseph's "right-hand man." The window is inspired by one of Joseph's only fashion shows, held around twenty-five years ago, styled by Roberts, where body mapping was somewhat of a thing. Louise Trotter, Joseph's creative director, has also created a Haring jacquard jumper, inspired by the same fashion show, which will hit the shops September 14. On the eve of the anniversary, Style.com sat down with Roberts to discuss Mr. Ettedgui, who died from cancer in 2010, at age 74.
What are your fondest memories of both Josephs—the man and the brand?
I would see Joseph with a cigar and a coffee, listening attentively, and then motivating you to just "do it." He was a doer, making sure that things got done. There would be one central meeting, then he would spring into action. Once you had done what it was you set out to do, he would become almost childlike, exclaiming and jumping up and down in celebration and excitement.
In your opinion, is there contemporary retail visionary that could come close to what Joseph did 25 years ago?
I would say Colette in Paris. Milan Vukmirovic, who was involved in the early days, is someone who I think is very good at retail. Similarly, Comme des Garçons' Dover Street Market is also a good step up toward the sort of thing Joseph would have done.
Was it emotional for you to do the window…a trip down memory lane?
Well, yes, it is very much nostalgic. When we did the body mapping the first time 'round, it was at the time when London was doing all of these crazy things. I would say it was sentimental in the way that we have focused on the graphic aesthetic and this styling, something that was so prominent for us in the eighties. This is a long time ago now…this window definitely celebrates that period of creativity.

We welcome more pub variety in area, says Thwaites director
4:44pm Thursday 6th February 2014 in News
BREWERY Thwaites has welcomed the arrival of discount chain JD Wetherspoon to Darwen.
Wetherspoon's opened The Old Chapel in the former Railway Road Methodist Church last month.
It has led to speculation as to the future of other town centre pubs, with nearby The Bridgewater announcing a costly refurbishment later this year.
But Thwaites bosses said The Millstone, which was for years the main town centre pub in Darwen, welcomed the extra competition.
Andrew Buchanan, director of pub operations, said: "The Millstone in Darwen has always been a favourite with tourists and locals alike.
"Thwaites invested in the pub just 18 months ago, when it underwent an extensive refurbishment and we are delighted with how it is trading.
"We welcome the arrival of any new establishments into the local area. Not only does it demonstrate that the pub trade is alive and kicking, but it also adds more variety to the town's social offering."

Love or hate Wetherspoons, they have a fantastic 'model'. When was the last time a Wetherspoons pub closed down? I don't know of any. How many Thwaites pubs have closed over the years? Far too many. I wonder why?

A 2-year-old boy was found wandering down the street all alone in a Phoenix neighborhood Thursday morning. Police say the boy's parents left him at home with a 1-year-old baby.
The baby's dad went to drop mom off at work, leaving the 2-year-old and 1-year-old home alone in the area of 7th St and Dunlap, according to police.
They were supposed to be sleeping, but somehow the 2-year-old got out.
Police say the toddler wandered down the street before a neighbor saw him and called 911, about 8:15 a.m.
Teresa Cadena lives in the neighborhood and was surprised the little boy didn't get hurt. She says there's always lot of traffic in the morning. Desert View School is a block away.
"I don't care how much of an emergency it is, you find somebody to watch your kid," says Cadena. "Constantly I see cars just flying by."
Police cited the boy's parents for child neglect. It's a misdemeanor.
"They were very sorry," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Rich Cosenza. "Explained to them that it's pretty serious and they need to make sure that they're home with their child and if they need to leave, they need to take their child with them."
Everyone is just thankful the 2-year-old is safe and sound.
"I know everybody's jobs are important and I know what it's like, you got that ride you got to do, but you're kids are important," says Cadena.
The boy's parents got a ticket, but weren't arrested. Police believe this was a poor decision the parents can learn from.

|Stewart says 3rd surgery was for infection
|Friday, October 18, 2013 12:12 AM
Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The third surgery on Tony Stewart's broken right leg was for an infection that "popped up" after the 3-time NASCAR champion had begun walking a bit again.
Stewart underwent his third operation on Oct. 7, explaining that the risk of infection was something doctors had warned him about after his injury in an August sprint car crash.
"I was more worried about bones healing and skin healing," he said. "The doctor was more worried about infection and really said the first two months were kind of the critical time. We were at the end of that two months for the most part and, all of a sudden, a spot popped up that was infected and that caused the surgery last week. I went from starting to walk again, not great, not just walking around the house like normal, but I could take eight or 10 steps at a time, to having to spend the majority of the day again laying down."
Stewart is still on track to be back in the car for the season-opening Daytona 500.
During the chat, Stewart fielded questions from fans who submitted them through social media. He was asked what his biggest concern was before NASCAR's inaugural Truck Series race this year at the Stewart-owned Eldora Speedway dirt track.
"Weather. That was the one thing we couldn't control was the weather," Stewart said. "It's not like a pavement track where you can bring a jet dryer out and two hours later have the track back in shape. You are blowing mud around. If it rains at the right time, it puts you out for the whole night."
Asked if NASCAR would ever race Nationwide or the Sprint Cup Series on dirt, or at Eldora, Stewart replied he didn't know.
"I never thought I would see the Truck Series there, the Truck Series proves that anything can happen," he added.
Stewart also said participation in the Coca-Cola's promotional Racing Family has helped mend relationships between drivers. He feuded with Joey Logano earlier this year and Logano and Denny Hamlin are still not on speaking terms following a series of early-season incidents that culminated in a last-lap accident between the two at California in which Hamlin suffered a fractured vertebra.
All three drivers are in the Coca-Cola family, which requires several appearances together and commercial shoots.
"The outtakes are almost better than the commercials," Stewart said. "When you hear everybody talk about the Coca-Cola Racing Family, it really is a family. It's a family atmosphere. Even the dysfunctional family that we are with Denny and Joey and myself now, we are the three brothers that disagree sometimes. But still when we do this stuff, we still get along with each other, we still have fun, and we all forget about the stuff that happens on the race track.
"It's one of the few opportunities where we get to be around each other and not worry about racing."
BIG GOAL: Roger Penske isn't mincing words when it comes to the task at hand for Helio Castroneves in Saturday night's season finale at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif.
"Well, Helio's got to win the race and it's a longshot," Penske said.
Castroneves trails IndyCar Series points leader Scott Dixon by 25 points going into the final race. The Brazilian had led the standings for 12 consecutive races before losing the lead to Dixon two weeks ago when his gearbox broke 10 laps into the second race at Houston.
In all, Castroneves led the points 14 of 18 races this season.
But he had a terrible weekend in Houston, where Castroneves had taken a 49-point lead over Dixon into the doubleheader. Then Dixon won the first race and Castroneves had a gearbox issue and Dixon finished second in the second race when Castroneves had a catastrophic failure.
"We shot ourselves in the foot in Houston with the problem with the gearbox," Penske said. "He got a little wide with the 10th lap and the bottom broke the gearbox. To me, its reliability and that's one of the ways you win championships. We were good right up until the last weekend, and then we fell on our face."
If Castroneves doesn't rally, it will be the sixth time Penske has come up short since Sam Hornish Jr.'s 2006 title.
Penske explained he won't hold it against Castroneves, who also came up short to Dixon in 2008 when Dixon beat him by 18 points even though Castroneves won the season finale.
"Helio's done a great job all year and he can hold his head up high and he's going to drive for us next year, we've got to move on," Penske added.
GIBBS RECALLS TAYLOR: Jury selection began this week in Florida in the first-degree murder trial of the man accused of killing former Washington Redskins player Sean Taylor. Former Washington coach Joe Gibbs talked about the All-Pro safety over the weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
"I really think that had he not had such an awful thing happen to him, he would have wound up having been one of the greatest players ever to play in the NFL," Gibbs told The Associated Press. "He was an unbelievable athlete, plus his competitive spirit. Plus he was physical, boy, was he physical."
Taylor was at his Miami-area home nursing an injury late in the 2007 season when a group of young men attempted to burglarize his home. Taylor confronted them with a machete, was shot once in the upper leg, causing massive blood loss that led to his death a day later at age 24.
Gibbs said he'd never been through anything like Taylor's death in his coaching career and the toll it took on his team was enormous. He praised Redskins' owner Daniel Snyder for flying the entire team to Florida to a ceremony honoring Taylor and Gibbs noted the players responded "the next four games were the best games I've ever had a team play for me.
"I think that was part of trying to make a statement. We put ourselves in the playoffs with that and I think that was kind of testimony to Sean," Gibbs added.
Gibbs retired for good at the end of the season and returned to NASCAR, where the next season saw Joe Gibbs Racing move to Toyota and the eventual departure of team leader Tony Stewart. It's been eight years since Stewart won JGR its last Sprint Cup title but Matt Kenseth currently has JGR out front with a 4-point lead in the standings at the halfway point of the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship.
WILSON RISING: With a pair of strong finishes in Houston, Justin Wilson made this one of the best IndyCar seasons of his career.
Wilson goes into the season finale race at Fontana ranked fourth in the standings and although he's still searching for a win this year, his four podiums this season are the most since he had five in Champ Car in 2007.
Wilson has one more shot at picking up a win this year, Saturday night at Auto Club Speedway, where he'll be making the second start of his career. He ran just 80 laps in last year's race before a gearbox issue led to an early exit and a 23rd-place finish.
After a successful test at the track last month with his Dale Coyne Racing team, Wilson is confident for a strong finish to the season.
"We had a good test at Fontana," added Wilson. "We started out pretty steady and found some grip and improved the balance. We were within tuning range for the race so I'm hopeful for another positive result for us out in California this weekend."
Andretti Autosport re-signs Marco Andretti
FONTANA, Calif. — After an offseason spent recommitting himself to racing, Marco Andretti was rewarded with the best season of his IndyCar career.
Although he didn't make it to the winner's circle — he's got one more chance in Saturday night's season finale at Auto Club Speedway — he'll return to Andretti Autosport next season to make another run at an IndyCar championship and the Indianapolis 500.
The team told The Associated Press on Thursday night that Andretti had re-signed to drive the No. 25 next season for his father, Michael, with sponsorship from Dr Pepper Snapple Group.
"I feel we have been getting closer to a championship title and an Indy 500 win and I wouldn't want to win it with anyone more with the Dr Pepper Snapple family and with my dad," Marco wrote in a statement. "I feel like I have a lot of unfinished business and a lot of good results coming our way."
Andretti, a third-generation racer, goes into the finale ranked a career-best fifth in the standings. He's got two podium finishes, a career-best two poles, a career-best 14 top-10 finishes this season and started on the front row of the Indy 500 this year for the first time in his eight-year career.
His 256 laps led this season is almost four times as many as Andretti led last year, when he finished a career-worst 15th in the standings and spent a portion of the winter in Europe working with a driver coach. The extra work was evident immediately as Andretti was challenging for wins at the start of the season and in the championship hunt for a bit — he left Indianapolis as the IndyCar points leader following a disappointing fourth-place finish.
Although re-signing to drive with his father, who has fielded a car for the 26 year old since 2006 rookie season, may have seemed automatic, there were rumblings Andretti at one point was looking around the paddock to see what other options might be available.
In the end, his re-signing kicks off what could be a busy weekend of announcements for Michael Andretti at the final IndyCar race of the season. The team is expected to announce a manufacturer switch to Honda, and could have driver James Hinchcliffe re-signed before Saturday night's finale.
Michael Andretti hinted Wednesday many of his deals were coming together quickly while announcing a title sponsor for the Milwaukee IndyFest race he promotes.
For Marco, it's not clear which Dr Pepper Snapple brand will adorn his car next season. He carried RC Cola the last two years and worked with DPS on its philanthropic initiative, serving as honorary chairman of the 2013 United Way campaign "Drive Home Giving." The campaign raised nearly $2.2 million for United Way agencies.
"Dr Pepper Snapple's products are among the most well-loved brands on the market, and they carry great appeal with our fans," Andretti added.
Jim Trebilcock, executive vice president of marketing for DPS, lauded Marco and Andretti Autosport as ambassadors of its brands.
"Our brands and IndyCar both have extraordinary and passionate fans, and we're looking forward to working with Marco and his team to drive excitement and build on that passion," he added.
Andretti signs ABC Supply to sponsor Milwaukee
WEST ALLIS, Wis. — IndyCar racing at the historic Milwaukee Mile track received a major boost Wednesday with a two-year commitment from a title sponsor with Wisconsin ties, as well as a date change that more closely links the race to the Wisconsin State Fair.
Andretti Sports Marketing announced ABC Supply Co. will sponsor the Milwaukee IndyFest for the next two seasons and the race will run on Aug. 17 next year.
ABC Supply, a roofing and building products distributor, is headquartered in Beloit, Wis., and has been involved in auto racing as a sponsor of A.J. Foyt Racing for almost a decade. The race will be the weekend following the end of the Wisconsin State Fair at State Fair Park, an event that has drawn more than 900,000 people each of the last three years.
"It's an old facility but it's got so much character," said Michael Andretti, who revived the open-wheel event in 2012 and helped prevent it from being removed from the IndyCar schedule. "From a track standpoint, if you ask any driver, this is one of their favorite tracks to come to. I think the facility is plenty good to do what we need to do."
Andretti, who won the Milwaukee race five times as a driver, said he was committed to Milwaukee but obtaining a title sponsor was crucial.
"It came down to we needed more support," Andretti said. "We needed somebody like ABC to come up and step it up. Without them, we wouldn't have been able to make. We met with them and they understood what it means to the community because they're local. So, they understand what this event means and they stepped it up and came in and supported it. Without them, it would have been really difficult."
Andretti added Indy Lights and the Pro Mazda Championship will run during the Aug. 16-17 event.
"Wisconsin, West Allis and State Fair Park, we have a long tradition, deep and rich history with racing," said John Yingling, board chairman of State Fair Park. "I can tell you that the Wisconsin State Fair Park board is committed to continuing this tradition and is committed to having Indy here."
