Masters of the Plan
Homeowners from the West Coast to the far reaches of Tokyo seeking the extraordinary, unorthodox, distinguished and unquestionably the most resplendent home design, seek The Design Collaborative, Inc. in San Francisco, Calif. Winner of awards for both the 1993 Professional Builder magazine's Best in American Remodeling and 1997 Food & Wine magazine's Kitchen Design, this full-service firm is reaching new heights in custom home design.
Owned and operated since 1991 by interior designer Michele Murfin, The Design Collaborative, Inc. acts as the liaison between homeowners and architects to reconstruct simple floor plans into architectural wonders. Murfin and her team of professionally trained designers collaborate with homeowners to develop a master plan for the interior and exterior components of the home and floor plan layout, and even stay until the last brick is laid to assist with furniture and drapery selections. We interviewed Murfin to gain an understanding of why people come from all corners of the world to hire her team to fashion their dream home.
family.com: Who are your clients?
MM: Most are people who are retiring to the Central Coast or those involved in high-pressure jobs. We also work with many doctors and lawyers, designing doctor's offices, law firms and even some restaurants. Most of our clients don't live in the area and are too busy working to do too much material selections on their own.
family.com: Describe the services your company offers its clients.
MM: We work with the architect to come up with the entire floor plan for a home. Usually the homes are between 3,500 and 20,000 square feet. We work together to develop the best overall layout for the client's needs.
family.com: Specifically, what selections are made by your team of designers?
MM: Our team will talk the client through each individual room, in detail, finding out how they will live in each room and their needs for things, such as storage. From there, we do all of the detailed drawings using CAD software for the interior: cabinetry, tile layouts, fireplaces, etc. We also select all of the materials needed to finish the job – including the exterior finishes – if the architect requests us to do so.
family.com: How lengthy is the process of custom home design?
MM: We usually work with the client for a year before the ground breaks to develop all the drawings and specifications. Construction lasts anywhere from one to two years, depending on the size of the home, and we are out on the job site through the entire thing. After the construction is done, we move on to window treatments and furniture. Some clients we work with for many years.
family.com: What do you consider you company's specialty?
MM: Coming up with innovative ideas. I try to stay on the cutting edge and do a lot of research for new materials. I also feel we are excellent listeners. Our clients feel they get exactly what they need as well as the style they want. Of course, the kitchen design is our greatest asset.
family.com: Does your team spend most of their time designing the kitchen?
MM: The kitchen is usually the hub of the house. In the last decade people have been entertaining at home more and will continue to do so in the future. They are looking for a room they can hang out with their family or entertain in but also not feel left out if they have to work in the kitchen. My background in kitchen design for a European cabinetry company gave me an incredible basis for organization techniques and style that I use in my own designs.
family.com: What role do you play in every project?
MM: Basically, I am the lead designer. We do everything on the job, including a lot of hand-holding. Most of our clients are building their end-all dream/retirement home and they want it to be perfect. Construction can be a very stressful situation, and we try to make it as enjoyable for the client as possible.
family.com: What do you feel has made you so successful?
MM: I love what I do, and I feel this reflects in my attitude with the client. I am a good listener for their needs and wants, and try my hardest to make them happy in the end. I try to keep up with the latest in appliances, plumbing fixtures, cabinetry and counters to give my clients the best advice possible in their selections.
family.com: How did you grow your business from the beginning to what it is today?
MM: I began by doing only kitchen and bath design. As my clients got to know me, they would ask me to do more in their house. It just kept building and building from there. Now we do everything. Once you establish a relationship with your designer and you "click" with one another, it's hard to switch over to someone else to do the rest of the house. After several asked me to finish out their houses, I decided to grow the business into a full-service design firm. As for commercial projects, most of those are clients we designed homes for.
family.com: Where do you get your inspiration?
MM: Finding new products and craftsmen that are willing to try new things. We are fortunate enough to have many extremely talented artisans in the San Francisco area. I am constantly attending conferences and shows to keep up with changing trends.
family.com: What are some of the hot new products for interiors?
MM: Concrete seems to be hanging in there in many new ways. Not only for flooring and countertops but also for tiles that look old and worn. I'm always looking for new hardwoods to use. Lately, we've been using many sustainable exotic woods from South America for both flooring and cabinetry/furniture. Of course, the appliance industry is always trying to come up with ways to make our hectic lives easier.
family.com: What design styles are most popular now?
MM: I think design style has a lot to do with the location of the property you are working on. We are finding that many of our clients want a very European look these days. Since San Francisco is the fastest-growing county in the wine industry and our hills are very reminiscent of Tuscany and Provence, you will see many structures that reflect that. I also tend to do many modern homes. I love to do the modern homes because this is where we can use our imagination to its fullest.

Caylee Anthony
"Coming Clean"
Casey Anthony was certainly not acting like someone who was trying to help the police find her daughter. In fact, her lies were leading detectives astray, forcing them to spend hours chasing down false leads. After wandering around Universal Studios, looking for her office, Casey finally admitted to Detective Melich that she had no office. She didn't even work at Universal.
Casey admitted that not all of what she had told the detectives was true, but she was adamant that not everything had been a lie. Some of it was true, she said. She claimed she was doing everything she could to help them find Caylee. "I'm scared," she said. "I don't know where my daughter is. The last person that I saw her with is Zenaida."
The detectives demanded to know why Casey had led them to Universal Studios, a place she hadn't worked in more than two years. How was that supposed to help them find her daughter?
"Honestly, I wanted to come and try to talk to security," Casey said. "Maybe pass around a picture of Caylee."
As the interview dragged on, a frustrated detective asked Casey, "I want you to tell me how lying to us is going to help us find your daughter."
"It's not going to," Casey finally admitted.

MONTALBERA 2012 RUCHE "LACCENTO"LUCA MARONI 99 POINTS - "Sensations: pure juice, new juice, juice that is aroma, that runs violet into the glass, untouched, pure, clothed in a perfume that from wild fruit and flower pollen offers the sweetest olfactory frequencies. The heights of fragrance, essence of the grape, and floral fruitiness that truly and rarely sound so crystalline, bathed to such an edible extent in such marvelous purple. An array of perfume in which raspberry and strawberry are at their maximum level of intensity with geranium and rose whose petals, just opened, still exhibit their primal aroma. A taste in which there are only the harmonious and vivid suppleness of its native grape. A prime material of absolute concentration and power, a majestic, sumptuous vehicle for its sensory and compositional quality. One of the most marvelously perfumed wines of Italy, in a version among the most consistent, balanced and integral ever. The person who experiences this diadem of fragrancestrawberry-like and resoundingwill retain the memory of a wine representing the height of feeling and nature radiating in an aroma ethereal and profound."
Ruché (roo kay) is an Italian red wine varietal from the Piedmont region that is largely used in making Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato which is a small production that was elevated to DOCG status in 2011. Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato is one of the lowest production varietals in Italy and has been grown in the area for at least one hundred years but has only recently been marketed and consumed outside of Piedmont. Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato is medium bodied with notes of pepper and wild berries and floral aromas on the nose. The wine is often characterized by moderate acidity and soft tannins.

Houston Astros first baseman Carlos Lee left Friday's game against the Reds with a hamstring injury; his manager thought he might miss a few days:
Astros first baseman Carlos Lee, who left Friday's loss to the Reds with a strained left hamstring, wasn't in the lineup Saturday and is likely out until at least Tuesday. Astros manager Brad Mills expressed concern about Lee's health and said Saturday he would be out "for a minimum of a couple of days anyway."
Mills observed Saturday as Lee was put through some tests by the medical staff to gauge the extent of the injury. Matt Downs started at first base in place of Lee, who is hitting .297 with four homers and 23 RBIs this season.
It'll take more than just a couple of days; the injury was bad enough that this happened Sunday:
Carlos Lee to DL with hamstring strain. Brett Wallace recalled from OKC.— Houston Astros (@astros) June 3, 2012
The Astros hoped Wallace would take over at first base from Lance Berkman when Houston shipped Berkman to the Yankees in 2010 and acquired Wallace from Toronto at around the same time. But Wallace hit just .248/.323/.354 with seven home runs in 480 at-bats combined between 2010 and 2011. He has been playing this season at Triple-A Oklahoma City where he's hit .265/.325/.476 in 185 at-bats with 10 home runs. At 25, he still has a chance to become an everyday regular, and he'll get some at-bats now in the major leagues.

SHERMAN, TX -- A drop in gas prices just in time for holiday travel has drivers excited, as prices dipped below $3.00 per gallon at many gas stations.
Drivers in Grayson County say they will pay whatever the price is, but this is certainly a help to their wallet. "It doesn't" take as much to fill up my truck now, we have two cars to fill up, and it makes it a lot easier," says Debbie Shearer.
Arkansas resident Travis Fox makes a living competing in fishing tournaments, so he not only fills up his truck, but also a boat. He is glad to see the days of $4 gas in the past. "From New York to Texas and all over the U.S., spending a lot of money on fuel," says Travis Fox. "The drop of a dollar a gallon, that's 25 percent of the cost."
In November, the Labor Department reports gas prices dropped by their sharpest amount in about four years, falling 7 percent. The nationwide average is now around $3.30 per gallon but in Texoma it's much lower, with prices at $2.89 at several gas stations in Sherman and Denison.
"I guess that sounds like a good deal now, but two or three years ago, that would have been exorbitant," says Kay Brewer.
But this latest drop in prices doesn't reverse the year that was. For the entire year as a whole, the government estimates gas was ten cents higher than last year's record prices.
"It makes it tight, makes it hard, like making our trip to Missouri, it's nice that it's dropped," says Brenda Palmer. The Palmers enjoy visiting relatives and paying less for gasoline means more money to spend along the way.
A combination of high oil prices and supply shortages caused by refinery and pipeline problems are blamed for keeping gas prices elevated for most of the year. The national average hit a high of $3.94 a gallon in early April.

text: Tampa Bay has a good defense but they won't be able to get to Stafford enough to stop him from hitting his receivers. Letting Best rest during the preseason was a great move. The lions have a running threat believe it or not-with 3 fresh strong backs to change things up with an a surprise appearance from Stefan Logan, I think the Lions are going to poor it on the Bucks!! I think they are going to eat up the clock and the defense is going to do the rest! Thats my take. Hoping it goes as I think it will!

Mondovi (WQOW) - A local
community had a chance to voice its concerns over the growing frac sand
industry Saturday. A volunteer group hosted the forum, which featured a
question and answer session.
"I'm not really
opposed to mining, but I want good rules in place," said Lou Anne Roby, a
member of the Buffalo County Defenders.
There were over 40 people at the Marten Center
in Mondovi Saturday, hoping to learn everything they could about frac
"Our moratorium has
been extended so that we can get a good ordinance in place. Part of the reason
I put this on is so that we could inform people about what we need in an
A volunteer group called the Buffalo
County Defenders hosted the event. They encouraged those who showed up to ask
questions about the industry.
"I'm wondering what
the actual statistics are for this job creation. How many local people are
actually hired? For how long? How many people are brought in?" asked one
of the people in attendance.
"A lot of people in
this area are not skilled in mining. They don't have the skills to do what
needs to be done with technical pieces. A lot of work is being done with
technology, and not everyone may have that," said Pat Popple, a guest

reclamation begun?" asked another person.
"In Chippewa Falls there were two wetlands mitigated,
its called mitigation," Popple said.
"One of the cons is
that it really, tremendously affects the property values. Have you developed
any statistics about that?" a visitor asked.
"How many people
really want to live near a train?" You know? Is my property going to be
valued as high as it was before? We've had a down market anyway on all of our
properties probably. So that's a really good question, and to get to the honest
truth about that is almost impossible," said Popple.
Those were just some of the
questions raised at the forum. There was also discussion on air quality as well
as road and water usage.

vacation rental description
PARADISE, SERENITY, EDEN ON EARTH...These are a few of the words expressed by friends, family and guests about their stay at AMBIENCE. Nestled SOUTH OF 30A, on a partially gated dead end street, the look, feel and 'Ambience' of Summer's Edge brings to mind a gentler, quieter time, when people sat on their porches and balconies talking to neighbors as the kids played and rode bikes.
AMBIENCE is ideally situated on North Ryan Street, far enough down the block south from 30A so you hear the gulf surf through open windows rather than the din of passing cars. The (2) PRIVATE COMMUNITY POOLS, one heated, are a short stroll across a private road. Close enough for easy access, but out of sound range from the clamor that can be kids splashing about.
Our custom designed 2200 square foot 3 story home SLEEPS 10 and is perfect for a large family gathering or multi couples. It boasts a charming, coastal chic decor. The keyless front entry door reveals the main floor's open and spacious design. A comfortably furnished living room with flat screen tv and dvd. French doors from the living room invite you into a COVERED SCREENED-IN PORCH with ceiling fan and teak furniture, ideal for dining, reading and enjoying cool evening breezes and the sound of the night surf. A beautiful wood table sets off the dining room with french doors leading out to an outside covered deck, gas bbq, garden, and teak dining table under a shaded trellis.
A full kitchen comes equipped with large refrigerator with ice and water on the door, microwave, quiet dishwasher, garbage disposal and electric range. Granite countertops offer plenty of work space as does a stainless steel island table.
One bedroom downstairs comes with 2 twin beds and french doors leading to the outdoor deck. A dual entrance full bathroom with walk in shower can be reached from the bedroom as well as the kitchen area.
The second floor includes a large master suite with king size bed. An en suite bath area contains a separate dressing area, vanity with sink, as well as another sink in the bathroom along with a jetted whirlpool bath for 2 and walk in shower. Two sets of french doors lead to a large wrap around covered balcony perfect for sunning, sipping a drink, viewing a PERFECT SUNSET or a gathering spot for friends and family to review that day's glorious events.
A queen bedroom with full bath, and, also with french doors to the balcony shares the 2nd floor with the king master. A separate laundry room housing a full size washer and dryer is also located on the 2nd floor. A cool spiral staircase leads up to the third floor, 4th bedroom loft. An ideal hide-away for the kids. The loft features 4 twin size beds, plenty of room for playing, a tv & another PARTIAL GULF VIEW
*Bed Sizes: Master Bedroom-King , Second Bedroom-Queen, Third Bedroom-(2) Twins & Fourth Bedroom-Loft-(4) Twins
*5 TVs
*4 DVD Players
*Granite Countertops
*Walk-in Showers in All 3 Baths
*Whirlpool Tub in the Master Bath

*Second Floor wrap-around Covered Porch with Partial Gulf View
*Main Floor Outdoor Deck with Private BBQ Grill & Shaded Outdoor Dining Area
*Separate HVAC unit/controls for main & second floors
*Parking for 3 cars (Including 1 off street spot)
Bring your bikes along and visit the various towns and beach communities that make up the beautiful Emerald Coast. The 20 mile bike & walking path along Scenic 30-A is right at the end of our street and is a great way to explore the area. Our AMBIENCE BEACH HOUSE is only a 10 minute bike ride to the fabulous shopping, restaurants and other activities in world famous Seaside, the idyllic setting for the movie The Truman Show. For those with a bit more pedal power the distinct communities of Watercolor, Grayton Beach, Alys Beach & Rosemary Beach are also within reach. Should you feel the desire to get back in the car and leave the beautiful confines of 30A (we rarely do)... Destin and Panama City Beach are just a short drive away for even more fun.
'AMBIENCE' is the escape that you've been looking for! The escape you deserve....the escape you've earned!

Much attention will be given to formal developments and the interconnectedness of Black Music and performance, with a special focus on Jazz and hip-hop. Students will create a living history of Black American performance. The course will conclude with an examination of contemporary performance practices and artists who are focused on bringing their art forms boldly into the 21st century.

CATEGORIES MoviesBy Tariq Khan, Gold Derby
1. It's a wide open race. The last five years, the Supporting Actor derby has been incredibly easy to call. Just consider the wins by Javier Bardem in "No Country for Old Men," Heath Ledger in "The Dark Knight," Christoph Waltz in "Inglourious Basterds," Christian Bale in "The Fighter" and Christopher Plummer in "Beginners." Were any of those outcomes ever really in doubt? Each of those men was declared the frontrunner early in the season and then prevailed at both the Globes and SAG Awards. The Oscar presentation was really just a formality.
Finally, 2012 has brought us some suspense. There has been no clear critical favorite, with non-nominees Matthew McConaughey taking both the New York and National Society prizes for "Magic Mike" and "Bernie," and Dwight Henry winning in Los Angeles for "Beasts of the Southern Wild." Christoph Waltz was the upset Globe victor for "Django Unchained" while Tommy Lee Jones just triumphed at SAG for "Lincoln."
It's in topsy-turvy tourneys like this that we often see a different name called at the Oscars. Since Alan Arkin in "Argo" has a relatively small role and Philip Seymour Hoffman's "The Master" isn't up for Best Picture, Robert De Niro would appear to have the best opening for a come-from-behind win for his performance in "Silver Linings Playbook."
2. He's gone the most years without winning. Much has been made of the fact that all of these actors have already been honored with the Academy Award. For Waltz, Arkin and Hoffman it was within the past ten years. For Jones it was within the last 20. But you have to go back 32 years to De Niro's last glory, for the classic "Raging Bull." Many of the current Academy members weren't able to vote for either of his first two wins. With the actor's consistent work in films over the past three decades, he probably seems due for another career achievement trophy. True, he's the only one in the category to have won twice. Still, this is De Niro we're talking about, one of the most revered actors in Hollywood. Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep already have the triple Oscar collection and Daniel Day-Lewis is headed there, too. The Academy won't hesitate to add De Niro to this most exclusive club.
3. It's the classic Best Supporting Actor formula. In "Silver Linings Playbook," the one-time "Taxi Driver" is blessed with an important, sympathetic, screen time-heavy and beautifully written role. It's a three-dimensional character, seen in the context of being a father, a husband and a businessman. He has the opportunity to show off a wide range of emotions, combining several big dramatic scenes with some quieter tearful ones, as well. (Remember his heartfelt words of wisdom to Bradley Cooper near the film's end?)
The endearing performance is similar to other recent winners in this category, like Michael Caine in "The Cider House Rules," Jim Broadbent in "Iris," Morgan Freeman in "Million Dollar Baby," Arkin in "Little Miss Sunshine" and Chris Plummer in last year's "Beginners." It doesn't scream Oscar, yet it gently whispers it.
4. It's the best chance to honor "Silver Linings Playbook" in a major category. This may be the best reason of all, so consider this carefully. Whether or not Jennifer Lawrence wins Best Actress, I suspect that many of those voting for her are diehard fans of the film. There's a good chance that they'll also be voting for De Niro. More importantly, those members NOT voting for Lawrence WILL want to honor the film somewhere.
Let's face it: it's extremely unlikely that "Silver Linings" is going to take Best Picture or Best Director. There's no way that Bradley Cooper or Jacki Weaver can win, either. So for anyone who doesn't feel like Lawrence is ready for the Oscar just yet, De Niro is the only place to turn.
It's the same type of "coalition" that allowed Tilda Swinton to pull off a surprise win for "Michael Clayton" five years ago. She received votes from those Academy members selecting the film across the board, AND the non-"Clayton" voters who didn't want the film to go home empty-handed. (I'll happily admit that I came to that realization after the lord of all pundits, Pete Hammond, was the first to make the bold prediction for Swinton.)
If De Niro wins, you can expect a boisterous standing ovation before he takes to the stage and praises his director and cast members. Harvery Weinstein, David O. Russell, Cooper, Lawrence and Weaver will all surely be ecstatic. Even if the film loses every other category that night, a De Niro victory will be a true silver lining for "Silver Linings Playbook."
5. People are overestimating support for Tommy Lee Jones in "Lincoln." So Tommy Lee Jones wins SAG and now he's unstoppable, right? Hold your horses. A SAG triumph certainly helps, but it hardly seals the deal - especially in this competitive category.
Do you remember the Academy Award speeches by Ed Harris ("Apollo 13"), Robert Duvall ("A Civil Action"), Albert Finney ("Erin Brockovich"), Ian McKellen ("The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"), Christopher Walken ("Catch Me If You Can") or Paul Giamatti ("Cinderella Man")? No - because they lost the Oscar even after winning at SAG.
Think about Jones' role in "Lincoln." He has relatively little time on screen and not much character arc. The wig is a distraction and there's been criticism that he comes across as too contemporary (and too Texan) for the part. With the lead actor Oscar already sewn up for "Lincoln," will voters really feel it necessary to give it a supporting prize, too?
Finally, remember Gold Derby founder Tom O'Neil's often discussed "huggability" factor. It sounds silly, but it really can be a key factor as Academy members mark their ballots. Think about it this way: would Hollywood rather give a giant hug to De Niro and his Philadelphia family man or Jones and his Republican congressman? (You have your Oscar answer right there.)

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) – S&S Cycle in Viola, Wis. is celebrating 55 years in business at the South Side Fest Grounds this weekend.
The company makes engine components for motorcycles.
In the last year, S&S donated an engine and a motorcycle frame to four high schools and one tech school across the U.S. that have motorcycle building classes.
Those bikes were on display this weekend.
Students from a motorcycle fabrication class at La Crescent High School made one of the motorcycles on the grounds.
"Just knowing that we got to put something like this together, it's not -- a lot of kids aren't gonna get the opportunity who want the opportunity to build something like this. It feels pretty good to have something like this built, said La Crescent student Hunter Frick.
Frick and his peers worked on the bike at least twice a week after school during spring semester.

NBCRightNow.com - Oregon lawmakers are considering a bill that would grant short-term driver's licenses to people who live in the country illegally.
Senate Bill 833 would make immigrants, who have lived in Oregon for at least a year and meet other requirements, eligible for a four-year driver license without proving U.S. citizenship
Supporters say the proposal would make Oregon roads safer, because there would be fewer uninsured and untrained drivers. But, opponents believe the bill would encourage more people to come to the state illegally. Currently, applicants must prove citizenship to obtain driver's licenses.

As I look in jealous anger at what could have been had we played up to our capabilities and beat LA, I see a common denominator around the League. Everyone is improving their team and the Canucks, who were the best team in the NHL two years ago, have only slightly improved.
Last year we got rid of the injury prone Samuelsson and replaced him with Booth. I did like the acquisition since Samuelsson's ability continues to diminish and he just can't be depended on to play an entire season or post-season for that matter. Had we had him against Boston Hmmmmmm.
Getting rid of Hodgson for an even greener Kassian made no sense! This team is on the verge of winning a Cup. Why get younger, all be it only slightly, and lose offense only to add the possibility of getting a player that could be used in about 2 years to beat a Boston team that we played two years ago? No sense can be made of this trade!
This year we acquired Garrison and lost the rock solid but not super dependable Salo. We can only see what will happen but on paper I like the added size, defensive upside and 6 year younger legs. So far we have come up flat in improving some of our weaknesses. We have 2 GREAT years left with the Sedins and Burrows. After that we have a lot of youth and of course Manny Malhotra (The Rock solid face off specialist). So it's time.
We have 2 years to improve this team and WIN the Cup. Yes, you can make an argument it's hockey and anyone can win and ride a hot goaltender but I don't run my business that way and neither does any NHL team. So this is what we do:
1. Luongo and Ballard go to Tampa for Lecavalier. Yes he does make 8 million but it's a player with a scoring touch and we need that when the Sedins are being punched and cheap shot all playoff long. We lose 9.53 million and gain 7.727 million. That still leaves us with 5.72 million towards (no not total) signing Weber the following year.
2. The following year we sign Weber and do not sign Edler allowing us to give him 7.5 million a year. Considering Edler is a FA and will probably command 4-5 million (based on contracts signed this year) I think 7.5 million for Weber is a good deal. I don't like making it a two year process but it seems NHL offensive players need a full year to adjust to a new system and defenseman need only a few months.
The lines will be as follows (Before Kesler's return):
Goalie: Schneider
Back up: Whoever is cheap!
The when Kesler returns:
Goalie: Schneider
Back up: Whoever is cheap!
The year after:
Goalie: Schneider
Back up: Ladd
Vancouver Canucks Stanley Cup Champions!


text: It seems after every celtics playoff loss people seem to immediately lose confidence with the team and declare the season over.. It happened after the cavs series and the magic series... There is a reason it is not the WNBA and a best of three series... THIS IS A SEVEN GAME SERIES!! In most cases the better team wins and that will prove true again with the Boston Celtics... Tomorrow will be the so called "FU" game by the entire organization and then we begin our roll toward banner 18!!!... Chins up, confidence up, heart up, and belief up.... WE WILL WIN


text: The disparity between perception and reality is pretty evident in this article. I've actually written an entire paper for a class about this subject in general, but this is an excellent example of how the public opinion and media have put a relatively unfair spin on him (among many, many other players) Kinda cool for Mavs fans still under the impression Vince is garbage on defense or with his effort. Worth a quick look.

9.1 Low-Speed Centrifugation
9.2 Microfuge Use
9.3 Centrifuge Spill
9.4 Decontamination Procedures
9.1 Low-Speed Centrifugation
All low-speed centrifugation must be done in capped tubes in centrifuge safety cups or centrifuge rotors which provide a gasket for containment. Centrifuge safety cups must be used to be effective – if a tube breaks infectious material will stay in the bucket. Buckets can be removed and opened in the biosafety cabinet.
The following procedures should be followed during centrifugation:
· Each operator should be trained on proper operating procedures
· Keep a log book detailing operation records for centrifuges and rotors
· Do not exceed safe rotor speed
· Place a biohazard label on the centrifuge if used for infectious agents
· Before centrifuging, inspect tubes for cracks and stress marks. Avoid centrifuging in glass, if possible.
· Make sure the correct adapters are in place
· Fill and decant all centrifuge tubes and bottles within the biological safety cabinet.
· Wipe outside of tubes with disinfectant before placing in rotor.
· Wipe the exterior of safety carriers or rotors with disinfectant before removing from the biosafety cabinet
· Never overfill centrifuge tubes as leakage invariably occurs when the tubes are filled to capacity. The maximum for general purpose centrifuge tubes/bottles is ¾ full. Always cap tubes before spinning.
· Stop the centrifuge immediately if an unusual condition (noise or vibration) begins
· If decontamination of a rotor or bucket is required, soak rotor in Cavicide or equivalent disinfectant, followed by a mild detergent, then water rinse.
· Always use sealed safety cups or sealed rotors with O-rings. A variety of safety tubes/bottles and safety centrifuge cups have been developed specifically for work with infectious agents.
· Decontaminate safety carriers or rotors and centrifuge interior after each use.
· Wait 5 minutes before opening centrifuge lid after end of cycle.
9.2 Microfuge Use
Several models of microfuges are used in laboratories. Microfuges should be placed inside a biosafety cabinet. Microfuges with containment features may be used outside the biosafety cabinet, as long as the gasket in the rotor lid is in place and intact and the centrifuge lid does not open automatically when the cycle ends.
9.3 Centrifuge Spill
If leak is outside the safety cup or sealed rotor when opening centrifuge:
· hold breath
· close the centrifuge lid
· turn centrifuge off
· immediately leave the laboratory
· notify others to evacuate the lab
· post laboratory door with a biohazard spill note
· presume the aerosolized material is contaminated
· treat the incident as a potential exposure (call PI)
9.4 Decontamination Procedures
· Allow area to rest for 30 minutes prior to entry for decontamination
· Notify the supervisor or Principal Investigator and EHS Biological and Chemical Safety ext. 772-1781. Do not re-enter laboratory for decontamination until the PI or EHS has authorized re-entry.
· Don appropriate personal protection equipment (cover gown, booties, gloves, eye protection, respiratory protection) before entering the laboratory.
· Use absorbent materials to cover spill areas before the addition of a disinfectant. Absorbent material reduces the potential of generating an additional aerosol due to the decontamination procedure itself.
· Decontaminate all exposed environmental surfaces before releasing the room for normal use.
· Remove rotor and place in a biological safety cabinet. To decontaminate the rotor, soak it in a disinfectant approved for use by the manufacturer's instruction and followed by mild detergent, then water rinse.
· All contaminated material will be disposed of according to procedures for the biosafety level of the laboratory.
NOTE: If unsure of procedure contact Environmental Health and Safety -Biological and Chemical Safety (extension) for information.

PolitiFact Georgia celebrates three years of fact-checks
By Janel Davis
Published on Thursday, June 6th, 2013 at 12:00 a.m.
Sixty-four percent of statistics are made up right on the spot. Or so jokes country singer, Todd Snider in his song "Statistician Blues."
Politicians and power-brokers do seem to have a problem of the numerical kind. At least many of those that PolitiFact Georgia runs through its AJC Truth-O-Meter.
Statements that could be deemed True, frequently have much different outcomes when politicos insert numbers. Whether discussing employment or crime rates, taxes or "Star Trek" videos, those pesky figures always seem to get in the way.
On our third anniversary, we look back at some PolitiFact Georgia fact-checks where politicians miscalculated a bit and got caught up in the AJC Truth-O-Meter.

"I chose Lund University because it is one of the best universities in the field of Mathematics and Statistics, and rightly so. I was introduced to a variety of highly intriguing subjects, subjects that pertained to statistics in the field of finance, medicine, extreme events and more. We were given real time projects, whose difficulty level was fairly high and to be submitted on deadlines, but this helped us get ready for the projects and problems that await us in the real world. We worked on the latest and most widely used softwares in the industry these days. There was always a perfect blend of theoretical and practical knowledge. All professors had excellent knowledge and expertise in their respective field of study and were easily approachable."

Quad HIV pill a new HIV medication was on Friday described by researchers as safe and effective for treatment against the Aids virus.
A study in Lancet said that the pill could be a better HIV treatment option.
"Without a doubt the achievement of a one-a-day pill has been a big advance in tackling HIV.We've come a long way from people taking up to 40 pills three times a day."Dr Steve Taylor, an HIV specialist at Birmingham Heartland Hospital, said
A new "Quad" HIV pill combines four HIV medications and only needs to be taken once-per day .
Following 48 weeks of treatment, 88 percent of patients given Quad suppressed their virus to undetectable levels, compared with 84 percent on the other regimen. Mild nausea was more common with people taking Quad, but patients were less likely to experience dizziness, abnormal dreams, insomnia and rash compared with subjects taking the three-drug regimen.
The second experiment involved 708 patients who were given either once-daily Quad or a popular twice-daily drug combination of two antiviral agents, ATV/RTV plus FTC/TDF.
Ninety-percent of patients saw a significant drop in viral levels compared with 87 percent taking the other regimen. Side effects were also similar, however more kidney complications were reported in patients taking Quad compared with other treatments.
Researchers enrolled 700 patients in centres in North America and assigned them randomly to either Quad or Atripla.
Quad comprises FTC and TDF, along with a drug called elvitegravir (ETV), which is designed to inhibit HIV replication. The fourth ingredient is a "pharmacoenhancer" called cobicistat to boost the effectiveness of ETV.

BUS OPERATORS (especially the new ones) may not care about our fight against management
But there is resistance forming in other areas of Trimet, seen on FACEBOOK:
2 comments:
No mandatory overtime. I won't feel bad to let it ring. Their issue is we worked too much on overtime and callouts, made too much money. The part they forget is that we took care of the problems 24/7 with the manpower of one shift. They just don't remember that.So I guess we need to help them out with that goal of no overtime. They do the planning and the lack of hiring, but blame us for their poor management. Their decisions are having a bad impact on riders and workers alike.
- Wednesday, August 15, 2012 4:53:00 PM

Management certainly has the right to restrict overtime. But what they cannot plan for or restrict is trouble calls after we work our regular shifts which is now 7-330pm with a token guy until 530pm and a night shift 10pm to 6am M-F. 5 journeymen on days and 5 on nights. While that sounds great, the problem is this expanding system needs everyone here at the same time. This allows us to keep up on maintenance and gives a larger pool of workers available for call-outs and scheduled work for special projects. The new plan forces people to turn down OT call out work because if you accept, you will be held for an entire 8 hr shift.
We actually do have lives and may not want to have to stay a rolling 8 hrs just to hang a crossing gate or other signal problem on the weekend.This will now discourage the few who were willing to take after hours calls. Not a good way to treat those who make you look good and go the extra mile to help.

I wonder, however, if that experience may at times cause them to be less attentive during film study during a normal week. If I'm a rookie with all that responsibility on my shoulders, I'm studying my butt off. I know they are supposed to be professionals and RKG's, but I still wonder if the rookies put more effort into the film to save themselves from embarassment.

Karen Garnes has been spending the past few Saturdays teaching kids and their parents how to make clay snowmen mugs.
Garnes moved her Capitol Clay Arts Company to South Charleston. The switch for her and her small number of employees means much more business.
"We've found that being here on a busy street has been very excellent for us," Garnes said.
American Express created Small Business Saturday a few years ago in hopes of catering to small shops such as Capitol Clay Arts; it's Mom and Pop's answer to Black Friday.
In downtown Charleston, SavvyChic, a shop that's living the local mantra, buys clothes from the around region.
"Keep those costs down so the bulk of your money can go to the product," said the owner of SavvyChic. "In this economy, consumers need alternatives."
Back at Capitol Clay, Garnes has a secret for making the perfect ceramic mug, which she also applies to business.
"Life's too short, "Garnes said.

MONDAY, Sept. 23 (HealthDay News) -- Many older women with newly diagnosed breast cancer have difficulty doing daily tasks, and the problem is especially common among black patients, according to a new study.
The findings suggest that many breast cancer patients could benefit from receiving therapy to improve their physical function, the researchers said.
They looked at 190 women aged 65 and older who were recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and found that 39 percent of them had functional disability, which means they needed help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, using the toilet, eating, shopping, preparing meals, using the telephone, housekeeping and managing medications and finances.
Black women were four times more likely to have functional disability than white women, but this racial difference disappeared when the researchers took into account black women's lower household income and levels of schooling, as well as their higher rates of chronic health conditions.
The study was published online Sept. 23 in the journal Cancer.
"These findings have implications for cancer treatment decision-making since optimum functional status is a key factor considered in treatment selection," study author Dr. Cynthia Owusu said in a journal news release. "At-risk groups for functional disability, such as older African-Americans, may be less likely to tolerate standard treatment and therefore interventions ought to be developed to improve their physical function."
"Moreover, such individuals may be more likely to experience persistent functional decline after treatment, further worsening their survival outcomes," said Owusu, an assistant professor of medicine at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, in Cleveland.
