Commercialization of innovative technologies can create good jobs, new wealth for those involved, and economic prosperity for the broader economy. But the journey from idea to marketable product is a complex one with many pitfalls. Navigating it successfully requires knowing not just the law, but how to apply the law to achieve real-world business goals.
SU College of Law's Technology Commercialization Law Program provides an interdisciplinary and applied approach to the study of the commercial development of new technologies. The program combines classroom courses, case-study problem-solving, negotiation and drafting exercises, and applied research projects. Opportunities for financial support are available through scholarships and paid internships.
Here are some of the challenging subjects that you'll study>>
Each semester, students enrolled in the TCLP partner with entrepreneurs developing a technology for commercialization and perform an in-depth analysis of the relevant technical, business, and legal issues. This win-win formula provides students with a unique opportunity to study organic technologies and to work with senior technology managers, while providing client organizations with extremely useful research and analysis.
"We give students an opportunity to think about the law in a real-life context, by learning about the technology and the business that surrounds the technology," says Professor Ted Hagelin, director of the Syracuse University New Technology Law Center (SUNTEC). "You simply can't be an effective lawyer if you don't know your client's business and you don't understand your client's technology."
Students have conducted more than 100 research projects on behalf of universities, federal research laboratories, technology development organizations, and businesses, including both established companies and start-ups. The leading-edge technologies they've analyzed have included purification of DNA samples, nanoscale electronics, data visualization systems, silicon membrane filters, biological wound dressings and implantable glucose monitors.
"We want to train lawyers who understand the business goals of a transaction," Hagelin says. "We want to train lawyers who facilitate innovation, who understand how the law can be used in creative ways to advance a client's objectives."
Graduates have found jobs in law firms, technology companies, universities, research labs and government. And they've all advanced their careers through the work they've done at SUNTEC.
There are significant advantages to tackling your law degree in an environment that's integrated with a major university. Here are some of the places you'll be spending your time as you pursue your studies. In your spare time? Well, there's plenty of excitement to find here as well.

Title: Liquid Natural Gas Fuel Tanks
Client: Hebeler
This report examined the potential business strategies for the introduction of the technology developed by Hebeler and another company, CFS. The report outlined the technology, and assessed other competitive technologies in the market. A discussion of the intellectual property issues surrounding the tank reviewed the company patents and other patents in the LNG tank industry. IP protection strategies were explored. An overview of the trucking market and fuel prices as well as a competitive analysis of the LNG tank market was provided. Three business models were considered: an educational and technology assistance (ETA) model, a traditional licensing agreement model, and a manufacturing model, where tanks would be manufactured in-house.

Less than a week before this year's Ohio Democratic primary, a local political analyst on WOSU-TV in Columbus laid out the conventional wisdom in the race for the state's newly-drawn 3rd Congressional District:
"Mary Jo Kilroy is going to win handily for several reasons," the analyst opined. "I don't think it will be close."
To say the odds were stacked against Democrat Joyce Beatty would be an understatement. Beatty is a former minority leader of the Ohio State House who was serving as Ohio State University's vice president of outreach when she opted for a primary bid against former Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy.
Kilroy began the race as the odds-on favorite. She had 94 percent name ID and high favorability, but our numbers revealed vulnerability right from the start. Though Kilroy was better known, she lacked the depth of connection and personal intensity that voters who knew Joyce had. Indeed, Joyce earned a very strong 68-degree personal feeling thermometer on our zero to 100 scale, yet was identified by just a bare majority of voters—56 percent. Kilroy had almost universal name ID, yet her personal feeling thermometer was a less intense 63 degrees.
In an open-ended exercise among voters asking why they supported Kilroy from the outset, we learned that fully one-third of Kilroy's supporters were with her simply because they were familiar with the name, and that they were widely open to the right alternative if they could find one.
A poll released seven weeks before the primary had Kilroy defeating Beatty by a whopping 34 points—48 percent to 14 percent. And even though Kilroy was widely expected to win the primary, she had still raised millions and was ready to spend it.
In December, the Beatty campaign quickly assembled a team that included media consultant John Rowley of Fletcher Rowley, pollsters Andrew Myers and Lauren Spangler of Myers Research, campaign manager Greg Beswick and direct mail consultant Achim Bergmann of the Baughman Company.
We knew from the outset that Kilroy's strength wasn't our only hurdle. After Beatty entered the race in mid-December, the window to pull off an upset actually shortened: the primary election date was moved from mid-May back to March 6. For an underfunded hopeful who needs to come from more than 30 points behind to win, that's usually fatal.
A Crowded Field in a New District
When Ohio's new 3rd District was drawn, there was hope that an African-American candidate would have a fighting chance in a Democratic primary given that African Americans made up 36 percent of the primary electorate. But with two credible African-American candidates in the race—Beatty and Columbus City Councilwoman Priscilla Tyson—this prospect looked bleak. In addition to Beatty, Kilroy, and Tyson, state Rep. Ted Celeste (the brother of former Ohio Gov. Dick Celeste) rounded out a field of well-known and well-liked Democrats.
Yet another challenge was rebuilding Beatty's political organization. During her time in the state House, Beatty was widely respected for her legislative leadership and for helping Democrats move from a 22-seat minority to a legislative majority. She also hadn't faced a hotly-contested race in a decade. It meant that Beatty did not have an active campaign organization or even good fundraising and email lists when her Congressional campaign began. Putting the campaign organization together would truly be running a "hurry-up offense."
What we had going for us was our candidate. Beatty had deep ties to the local community and a strong track record as a legislator. A large portion of her former state House district was part of Ohio's new 3rd Congressional District. Beatty had also worked in the nonprofit sector, started two small businesses and held a high-profile position at Ohio State. She entered the right race at the right time and we highlighted a message that resonated with key segments of the primary electorate. In all of our campaign communications, Beatty was our messenger. Our baseline poll offered a clear path to making it a tight race with Kilroy.
Despite the fact that Beatty trailed by a substantial margin at the outset, Kilroy lost ground after a balanced and positive message profile, while Beatty gained, leaving the two locked in a statistical dead heat that had Beatty at 36 percent (close to the same share of the vote she received on Election Day).
We were able to close the gap with Kilroy because the environment favored Beatty and her message. The frustration of the electorate was palpable in our polling—voters were tired of the status quo and did not want a candidate who would "go along to get along."
We tested two slightly different Beatty profiles that showed a crystal clear path. The best profile honed in on the fact that Beatty would not "go along to get along" and would stand up to anyone in either party to create and protect Ohio jobs. It was the springboard for our entire media message. Our open-ended polling questions also revealed that Kilroy's initial support was only skin deep. Five weeks out, it was clear we could make up ground quickly, but we needed to get on the air just as quickly.
The numbers suggested the attacks on Kilroy lacked salience. At the same time, we found that Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman was a powerful endorser for Beatty and was as popular with this primary electorate as any public official you could imagine. Coleman had nearly universal name recognition and his favorable number was around 80 percent.
The 'Long Ball' TV Buy
Our data showed Beatty's momentum could snowball, but only if we made a splash quickly. So within a few hours of getting our benchmark poll analysis our media strategist John Rowley came up with an idea for a spot that would connect emotionally with primary voters. It featured Beatty delivering a speech in which she emphasized that she wouldn't head to Washington and simply "go along to get along." Her message was focused on fighting for jobs, standing up to the Tea Party and protecting Social Security and Medicare. At the end of the spot, we highlighted the Coleman endorsement.
We paired the first TV ad with an African-American radio spot that featured Mayor Coleman saying "We need change. We need a voice. We need Joyce." As endorsers go, Coleman was everything we could have hoped for. And in an era of soft and often meaningless endorsements, it made a difference. He publicly endorsed Beatty, hosted fundraisers, mobilized volunteers, did robocalls, spoke at events, and even personally phoned voters.
It was only week five, but we spent what would end up being almost two thirds of our communication dollars with this initial buy. Our plan was to positively define Beatty, make up significant ground on Kilroy, and then do a tracking poll that we hoped would show real movement—the results would then help us fill Beatty's campaign coffers to fund the final phase of the campaign.
The question of timing the initial media buy was a critical one for us. Come Election Day, we knew Ohio's 3rd District Democratic primary would barely make headlines given the tight Republican presidential primary contest between Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. We also knew that the presidential candidates and their allied Super PACs would soon begin causing clutter on the state's airwaves creating an additional challenge for getting Beatty's message out.
Our media buying team was confident we would get more affordable TV time by going up in week five given that there was less demand. It would also be weeks before the Super PACs starting advertising in the GOP primary.
In fact, even though Kilroy outspent us by about 20 percent on TV when all was said and done, we delivered the same number of gross rating points (GRPs) given that most of our buy aired before Super PACs drove up the TV costs. Almost all of Kilroy's network TV buy was in week one as the Super PACs flooded the airwaves. The Beatty camp went up on network, cable TV and radio on Feb. 3. Kilroy wasn't up on cable until Feb. 13, and she wasn't advertising on network until Feb. 21. Our strategy worked.
The next tracking poll showed us surging from 33 points behind to just a single point back of Kilroy with 10 days to go before the election.
We had also made significant gains with our primary targets—white women and African Americans. Meenah Hulsen and Kristin Pixley, our media buyers at the Davis Group, were able to maximize a thin media budget (Kilroy outspent us 2-to-1 on cable) and hit our targets by zeroing in on cable zones with higher numbers of white women and black populations, and by using cable networks that resonated with our primary targets. We were also the only campaign to run sustained radio advertisements targeting African Americans.
Our media strategy made it a real race with Kilroy and our ground game took it from there. The final challenge was changing the turnout model on a limited budget, and our team led by campaign manager Greg Beswick, former state Rep. Otto Beatty (the candidate's spouse) and Mayor Coleman's political team executed a masterful and underfunded plan to exceed expectations on absentee and early voting. The campaign exceeded its persuasion goals in minority precincts and even garnered 30 percent in white majority precincts.
We also broke the mold and targeted so-called "drop-off" voters even in an early March primary. The campaign targeted 12,000 voters who previously voted only in even-year general elections, those who voted in last year's collective bargaining referendum, and Democrats who cast ballots in the state's 2008 presidential primary between then-Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. We knew we needed to energize 10 percent of that vote to drastically change this election, and it made all the difference in a 1,400-vote win.
Guided by the results of our benchmark poll, we ran a positive campaign—not the typical tack taken by a candidate who's down by 30-plus points in early polling. Rather than employing harsh negatives in an attempt to close the gap, we presented a subtle contrast by telling voters that we need a "new voice ... Joyce," as opposed to Kilroy who had been in Congress and had run for office for 20 years.
The bottom line was that we were up against a Democrat with a rock solid progressive record in Mary Jo Kilroy. The concern was that attacks on Kilroy could backfire and only serve to energize more of her supporters, so we focused on soft contrasts and making the most of our limited media budget.
In the end, it was fitting that a win in the district where Ohio State football is king featured a hurry-up offense, a well-timed long ball and an effective ground game.

Three people with Iowa City ties are accused of taking young girls from Iowa City to Chicago for prostitution.
According to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, 19-year-old Malik McKee and his sister, 23-year-old Shuntina McKee, both of Iowa City and formerly of Country Club Hills, Illinois, along with 41-year-old Willie Woods of Toledo, Ohio, formerly of Iowa City, were arrested and charged with taking three minor girls from Iowa City to Chicago earlier this year to engage in prostitution.
The McKee siblings were arrested in Iowa City on Monday. Woods was arrested in Toledo, Ohio on Friday.
All three are charged with one count of conspiracy to transport minors across state lines to engage in prostitution.
The investigation began on April 25 when one of the girls, who was 14 at the time, snuck out of a Chicago hotel room and called her mom in Iowa. The mother then called the Chicago police who went to the hotel.
Investigators say that online advertisements were posted on various Internet sites in Chicago and elsewhere promoting the prostitution of the three girls, ages 14, 16 and 16.
They say that Malik McKee and Woods allegedly purchased bus tickets for the victims and transported them from Iowa City to Chicago in April to engage in prostitution. They believe all three defendants benefited financially from the conspiracy.
If convicted of sex-trafficking of minors, the defendants face a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years and a maximum of life in prison and a $250,000 fine.

The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce says it is in support of the direction taken by the House of Representative's Agriculture committee.
The committee is working to develop a farm bill that is fair and equitable to all crops and all regions of the country.
The draft released Thursday gives producers an option to choose a title one program that best suits their needs and provides bankable price protection, while also making improvements to crop insurance.
Tim Collins, Chairman of the Lubbock Chamber, released a statement Friday:
"The legislation is fiscally responsible, as it contains reforms and consolidations that save the taxpayers more than $35 billion, It will allow producers to confidently continue buying equipment when needed, allow bankers to make operating loans, and all in all keep the economy of rural America going."
The current farm bill expires on September 30th.

Meg's Tip: If you've ever silently sobbed while watching something other than a chick flick and lived to tell the tale, "That Awkward Moment" is one film that you'll want to check out.
Starring Zac Efron of "High School Musical" fame, "That Awkward Moment" is a comedy set in New York. It opened Jan. 31, 2014.
The title of the film not only pokes fun at the widely used phrase to talk about those less than smooth moments in life, but also summarizes a lot of how this film operates.
The film thrives off the triangular friendship between Jason (Efron), Mikey (Michael B. Jordan) and Daniel (Miles Teller). Through their relationships and awkward mishaps the audience is invited to live life vicariously.
Jason and his buddies face the idea of love from different vantage points and at different points in time. In an attempt to preserve their bromance, the trio makes a bet to remain single.
How far will three men go to thwart off the opposite sex? As you will see, it's not easy. They're a group of attractive men, something few would dispute, for goodness sakes. Nonetheless, it gets downright awkward at times seeing them fumble in distress and even struggle to impress women.
Character-wise, it was hard to not pin Jason as most likely to lose the bet. Jason gave off the vibe that he was an arrogant yet disconnected fellow that tends to have his way with the ladies but then turns ice cold with the drop of one question, "So?"
In Jason's mind, "So?" signifies that it's time to bounce like there wasn't even a relationship brewing. To women, "So?" represents a way of moving past the present and looking towards the future. It's this display that is somewhat off-putting considering Efron's heartthrob status, but something that audiences will enjoy.
Overall, the film's main characters were excellently cast. Efron worked with mainly unknown actors, but if you give this a film a try, you'll see that the supporting cast has the power to become household names down the road.
Even so, you can feel that a lot of molding and chemistry took place behind the scenes. The cast gelled together as one to put out a synchronized film.
The casting's role in the film's success can't be understated. For one thing, the romantic scenes were on point. Thought this is a laugh-out-loud comedy, the dramatic elements are honest and liable to force audiences to choke back tears in silence.
In particular, Efron had big shoes to fill with this role. We have seen Efron take on somewhat less than stellar films but this breaks the mold.
Efron took long strides to distance himself from the rest of his comrades from the "High School Musical," but the hard work is paying off. If you were not a fan of Efron before, you will surely become one now. Efron trades in the singing and dancing routine in exchange for a chance to show off his comedic chops with style and ease.
Thanks should go to director Tom Gormican for casting Efron as the lead for the film. "That Awkward Moment" is Gormican's first major studio movie as a director. Previously, he had co-produced "Movie 43 (2013)." Some may not know the film, but if you do, don't let that could your judgment. Gormican shows time and time again in "That Awkward Moment" that he can manage a production.
While under Gormican's direction, awkward moments are turned popular. It is this idea that best encapsulates what the film strives to do in the comedy department and at the box office.
At the box office, "That Awkward Moment" packed more theaters than "The Nut Job" and "Lone Survivor." Doing so, allowed the film to take the No. 3 slot during Super Bowl weekend. Though audiences were heavily skewed with females then, this film's universality could easily leave the film ranking high among the top five again.
The bottom line: Everyone has experienced "That Awkward Moment," let's face it. Some won't admit it and that may make this awkward, but just as this film advocates, the question remains, "So?"
"That Awkward Moment" is rated R for sexual content and language.

Late Shuttle Commander to Be Honored on Father's Day
Late Shuttle Commander to Be Honored on Father's Day
Amarillo, Texas, May 27, 2003–As one family makes plans to celebrate their new Habitat for Humanity home, a congregation is pulling out the stops to honor a fallen hero on Father's Day. First Presbyterian Church of Amarillo, Texas, is planning to build a home over a mere 7 days with Habitat for Humanity volunteers as a tribute to the fallen commander of the Space Shuttle Columbia. The new home, built in honor of Commander Rick Husband, will be dedicated on June 15th with Husband's widow in attendance.
"Our family is honored that the church is building a home to remember Rick," said Husband's widow Evelyn. "Being a Christian and being a father were two of the most important things in Rick's life. Dedicating this Habitat for Humanity home on Father's day is a poignant tribute to Rick."
Husband was a dedicated member of the Amarillo congregation and was often a featured soloist in the church choir. First Presbyterian Church chose the idea of a Habitat "one week blitz build" as a fitting tribute to their fallen friend.
"We wanted to honor Rick by doing what he always did: demonstrating Christ's love to others in practical ways," said First Presbyterian's Associate Pastor, Murray Gossett. "Habitat for Humanity is a perfect partner to help us do just that."
"Habitat for Humanity will remember Rick Husband as we build this home with a family in need," said Millard Fuller, president and founder of Habitat for Humanity International. "We hope this Habitat home will inspire others to put their faith into action. I am impressed and grateful that Amarillo Habitat for Humanity is honoring the memory of Rick Husband in this beautiful way."
First Presbyterian has pledged $30,000 towards the cost of the build and church members will be providing volunteer labor to build what will become the home of Amarillo couple Jimmy and Cheryl Byrd.

A Kings County man with previous sexual assault convictions is facing new charges.
Jerry Howard Atwater, 72, of New Minas was in Kentville provincial court Monday, where he pleaded not guilty to charges of sexual assault, indecent assault and breaching his probation order conditions.
Represented by defence lawyer Ken Greer, Atwater elected to be tried by provincial court judge. The trial date was set for April 15.
Atwater is alleged to have sexually assaulted a male in Port Williams last July 23. He is also charged with indecent assault on a Wolfville male dating back to the early 1980s.
Atwater was convicted on two counts of sexual assault last year. He was given a two-month conditional sentence, an overnight curfew and 22 months' probation. He was also ordered to provide a sample of his DNA and placed on a national sex registry for 10 years.

A Novel Combination Approach of Anti-Her2/Neu and Anti-Prolactin for Breast Cancer
Scientific Abstract:
Background: Human breast cancer is the predominant malignancy and one of the leading causes of cancer death in women from the Western society. Over-expression of HER2 protein occurs in 30% of human breast cancers. Women whose tumors over-express HER2 have a poor prognosis with a median survival of 3 years, compared with 6–7 years for HER2-negative cases. Herceptin, a humanized monoclonal antibody directed at the HER2 extracellular domain, has been shown to be effective in HER2 over-expressing breast cancer patients. However, based upon recent clinical trial data, the overall response rate of Herceptin as a single agent is between 20-30% among HER2 positive patients. We hypothesize that one of the reasons that Herceptin is not effective in a majority of patients is due to the fact that over-expressed HER2 proteins are constitutively phosphorylated (activated) in the absence of its cognate ligand. One factor causing constitutive HER2 phosphorylation is locally produced prolactin (PRL) that cross-activates HER2 through PRL receptor acting as an autocrine/paracrine growth factor. Therefore, in order to effectively block HER2 pathway in breast cancer cells, a combination of Herceptin (blocking the extracellular portion of the protein) and inhibition of hPRL-induced cross phosphorylation of HER2 should be considered. In our recent studies, we have demonstrated that G129R, a hPRL receptor antagonist, is able to bind to PRL receptors and completely block PRL induced signal transduction. We have further demonstrated that G129R has anti-breast cancer effects both in vitro and in vivo. More importantly, we have demonstrated in our preliminary studies that there is an additive/synergistic effect between G129R and Herceptin in inhibition of breast cancer cell proliferation. In addition, we have found that this synergistic effect between G129R and Herceptin is, at least in part, through the inhibition of MAPK. Hypothesis and Objective: We hypothesize that over-expressed HER2 in breast cancer cells is constitutively phosphorylated by locally produced PRL. In order to improve the efficacy of anti-HER2 therapy, it is important to block PRL activities. The objective of this study is to test the potential additive/synergistic effects between a PRL antagonist, G129R, and Herceptin in HER2 positive human breast cancer. Specific Aims and Study Designs: There are three specific aims of this proposal. Aim 1, to confirm the additive/synergistic effects between G129R and Herceptin in inhibition of cell proliferation and to establish optimal dose combination of these two drugs using multiple human breast cancer cell lines. Aim 2, to validate the cross-talk mechanism between hPRL/G129R and HER2 in multiple breast cancer cell lines. Aim 3, to confirm the potential additive/synergistic anti-tumor effects of G129R and Herceptin using human breast cancer xenograft nude mouse models. Potential Outcomes and Benefits of the Research: We hope that this two-year pilot study will lay a foundation for designing a more effective therapy for HER2 positive breast cancer and the results of this project will soon be translated into clinical study.
Lay Abstract:
Background: Human breast cancer affects one in every eight women in the United States. It has become a leading cause of death in women. Women whose tumors over-express an oncogene product, HER2, have a poor prognosis with a median survival of 3 years, compared with 6–7 years for HER2-negative cases. Current therapy using a monoclonal antibody, Herceptin, to block HER2 protein at the cell surface has proven to be effective. However, the overall clinical response rate to Herceptin treatment is less than 30%, which is far from satisfactory. We believe that the unsatisfactory response to Herceptin treatment is due to the fact that majority of over-expressed HER2 in cancer cells has already been activated by human prolactin (hPRL), a female hormone intimately related to breast cancer development, through an intracellular cross-talk mechanism. The activated HER2 protein fires proliferation signals without the need for additional stimulation. Herceptin by nature is designed only to block HER2 at the cell surface to prevent it being activated. Hence, if HER2 is activated by hPRL/PRL receptor via intracellular interaction, Herceptin will not be effective in stopping the cancer cell proliferation. Therefore, in order to effectively block HER2 signaling, anti-PRL measure should be considered. In our recent studies, we have successfully developed a hPRL blocker, G129R. We have demonstrated that G129R is able to shut down hPRL initiated intracellular signaling activities and is effective as a single agent in inhibition of breast cancer cell proliferation both in cell culture and in mice. More importantly, we have demonstrated in our preliminary study that there is indeed an additive effect between Herceptin and G129R in inhibition of breast cancer cell proliferation. Objective and Hypothesis: In this proposal we attempt to test the idea of using Heceptin together with G129R as of a combination therapy targeting HER2 positive breast cancer. We hypothesized that since Herceptin blocks HER2 at the cell surface and G129R stops HER2 from being activated by hPRL, this approach should provide a "one-two punch" to HER2 signaling therefore effectively block proliferation of HER2 positive breast cancer. Specific Aims and Study Designs: Aim 1, to confirm the additive/synergistic effects between Herceptin and G129R in inhibition of cell proliferation using multiple human breast cancer cell lines; (2) to confirm the molecular mechanism between Herceptin and G129R by evaluation of the status of HER2 and another signaling molecule (MAPK) after the combination treatment; and (3) as an ultimate test, we will evaluate the growth pattern of breast tumor in nude mice bearing human breast cancer after combination treatments. Potential Outcomes and Benefits of the Research: We hope the results from this project will be translated into clinical trials in the near future. We hope that this novel combination therapy can be used to improve the outcome of those patients with the most aggressive types of breast cancer.

For those of you who follow the Devils on Facebook, you may have noticed that this afternoon they posted a link to take a survey regarding the most convenient dates and times for you to attend games as they prepare to make their schedule for next season. I live in Monmouth County and work in Ocean County and find it extremely difficult to get to week day games that start at 7PM. I find it even more difficult to get to these games via the train because of the schedules. I would imagine that the majority of fans would agree with me on this whether you live south and west of my area (Freehold) or in Northwestern Jersey (Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon Counties). I go to many games each year probably about 20 but I would go to more if the games started at 7:30. Whenever I go to weekday games I either have to leave work early or make alternate arrangements, and even by doing that I still usually miss the first 12 mins of the first period (no matter how big of a fan you are, who wants to pay to go to a weekday reg season game and miss that much of it?). There are so many times in which I am at the game and notice the Pru Center is embarrassingly empty throughout the first period and steadily fills up to near capacity by the third. I think more people would attend games if they started at 7:30, people get out of work between 5-6 and the fan base for the most part is spread throughout the suburbs of NJ not a big city like NYC or Philadelphia....so whoever thought 7PM start times were a good idea should be fired. So enough of my ranting, get on Facebook to the Devils page (even if you don't have an account you can still view it) and go to their post from this afternoon and click the link to take the surey. It's about 4 mins long and asks your preference for start times of the games on Mon-Thurs, Fri, Sat, and Sundays. I'd even be down for 8PM start times but I'm sure that would probably turn away people with children from going to weekday games.
Here is a link to the survey from the Devils Facebook page. It asks other questions about day games and the Columbus Day game. I placed a poll here so that we can see what the general opinions are since the Devils don't show the results.

Adding a high quality Adam's Hose Shut-Off Valve to the end of the hose will allow you to control the water from where you're at, not where it starts!
Switching from one hose attachment to another? Simply flip the valve to off, swap attachments, and proceed without having to go anywhere.
Done hosing the car off? Conserve water and shut the flow off while you soap up the paint.
Don't want to search for the perfect setting on your fire hose nozzle each time? Use the valve to shut the water off instead of the twist action of the nozzle, that way each time you turn the valve on, the nozzle is set exactly how you want it!

text: This offseason for Oakland is easily one of the most exciting, but also scary at the same time. If we had an offseason money like we do to spend and a full draft with Al Davis at the helm I would be scared for the franchise. But with Reggie McKenzie I feel like we are in a lot safer hands. There is no doubt Oakland has holes at several different positions without a doubt, which leads me to believe there is no reason to make one or two big signings in free agency but sign more "2nd tier" players and add both depth and talent to the roster. As of right now I'm not sold on any of the QB's in the draft for us to take in the top 5, and as much as Clowney "could be" a star I just don't think his mind is right, and there is nobody on that DL to make him a better pro. Why not trade down in the draft, add more picks and maybe pick up somebody like Justin Gilbert or Denard (both CB's.) I feel like we can pick up a WR in the second or third round. Our defense started off pretty impressive, but the fact of the matter is we need to improve our talent of discussion. Nick Roach has been a great signing, and Tyvon Branch we will be back to form next year. Why not in the offseason make a run at Aqib Talib, Greg Hardy, Brian Orakpo, Charles Johnson, Shaun Phillips, Brent Grimes, and Charles Tillman. I understand we can't get them all realistically, but definitely players to look at in Free Agency. There is SO MANY holes in our defense that all of these players would help without a doubt. Another thought running through my head was pass on QB this year and maybe sign Cutler (if the price is right), or even someone like Schaub to maybe a two year deal and see what he can do. Another option would maybe use a 3rd round pick of McCaron or Mettenberger. I know Mettenberger just tore his ACL but he has never been a mobile guy, and has a strong arm and really grew this year under Cam Cameron in LSU. It's definitely early to speculate all of these things because so much can change from now until when free agency starts, and we don't know what Reggie McKenzie is think personal wise, and who knows we could have a new coach before we know it. Let me know what you think. Go Raiders!

Voters began heading to the polls Monday, tasked with deciding the fate of nine state constitutional amendments, among other local propositions.
Smith County residents in JP precincts 1 & 4 will also decide the fate of beer and wine sales in their area.
Proponents of the measure argue it will allow other areas of Smith County to have a level playing field with the City of Tyler, after voters passed a similar measure last year.
"Development wouldn't happen if we don't have it," said Buy Smith County Committee member Don Simmons. "You cannot get a major grocer to go into Tyler and then be the only grocer that cannot sell beer or wine. They just will not do it."
But for most voters, the main decision is the State's nine proposed amendments, listed below. You can find your polling locations here. Approved voter identification is required to cast a ballot in person.
Proposition 1: "The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for an exemption from ad valorem taxation of all or part of the market value of the residence homestead of the surviving spouse of a member of the armed services of the United States who is killed in action."
Proposition 2: "The constitutional amendment eliminating an obsolete requirement for a State Medical Education Board and a State Medical Education Fund, neither of which is operational."
Proposition 3: "The constitutional amendment to authorize a political subdivision of this state to extend the number of days that aircraft parts that are exempt from ad valorem taxation due to their location in this state for a temporary period may be located in this state for purposes of qualifying for the tax exemption."
Proposition 4: "The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for an exemption from ad valorem taxation of part of the market value of the residence homestead of a partially disabled veteran or the surviving spouse of a partially disabled veteran if the residence homestead was donated to the disabled veteran by a charitable organization."
Proposition 5: "The constitutional amendment to authorize the making of a reverse mortgage loan for the purchase of homestead property and to amend lender disclosures and other requirements in connection with a reverse mortgage loan."
Proposition 6: "The constitutional amendment providing for the creation of the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas and the State Water Implementation Revenue Fund for Texas to assist in the financing of priority projects in the state water plan to ensure the availability of adequate water resources."
Proposition 7: "The constitutional amendment authorizing a home-rule municipality to provide in its charter the procedure to fill a vacancy on its governing body for which the unexpired term is 12 months or less."
Proposition 8: "The constitutional amendment repealing Section 7, Article IX, Texas Constitution, which relates to the creation of a hospital district in Hidalgo County."
Proposition 9: "The constitutional amendment relating to expanding the types of sanctions that may be assessed against a judge or justice following a formal proceeding instituted by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct."

Looking to own and run a real minor league franchise?
If you haven't heard of this yet, this site is run by some people who are hoping to organize many people to purchase and run a minor league franchise -- probably a minor league baseball team. The members will vote on all the important decisions. This is not a fantasy league -- they (we, b/c I joined) will run an actual minor league franchise. Team player subscriptions will run $5-10 per year, if all goes well. Their hope is to have a team together to begin operations next April.

The Hamilton Kerr Institute
The Hamilton Kerr Institute (our chosen and contracted conservators) have now completed the on-site work on paintings. Here they are using modern techniques to have a closer look at the paintings and also to take paint samples to provide us with further information.
This is the image of the monkey on the Tudor paintings.
It is widely believed to be one of the few areas of the paintings that is completely Lambert Barnard's work, untouched by future restoration.
Such is the fine skills of Lambert Barnard that you can see the reflections of the glass window (now stained glass but in that time, plain glass) in his eyes.
It does also show, however, that is unlikely that Lambert Barnard had ever seen a monkey as his ears are in the wrong place, pointing upwards and he has distinctly feline eyes! Beautiful nevertheless.

Police in Bloomington, Minn. are trying to determine whether an open container of gasoline caused a woman's death in a car fire Wednesday morning.
Witnesses reported hearing what sounded like explosions as the SUV burst into flames at the intersection of Old Cedar Road and 86th Street around 8:14 a.m.
Investigators told FOX 9 the driver had two gallons of uncapped gasoline in the front seat, but they can't confirm what sparked the flames.Bloomington Police Cmdr. Mark Stehlik said a number of things could ignite gas fumes, including static electricity. Investigators confirmed the driver was a smoker, but that also cannot be pinned as a cause of the fire.
The bomb squad was called in to investigate the reported explosions, but found nothing explosive aside from the open gas container. Cmdr. Stehlik said the sounds heard by witnesses were likely airbags or other car parts.
The victim's name is not being released at this time.
The safest place to transport a gas can is in the trunk of your car. Making sure the cap is tight so no fumes can escape is an important extra precaution.
