The Honda VT600 Shadow is pretty much the antithesis of the original chopper credo. If the first true chops were all about bad boy, bristly individuality, the 600 Shadow is about as soft, unthreatening and unoriginal as it gets. It's bland, novice-friendly and safe and predictable, but you';ve really got to ask yourself if you want that sort of thing. ...

Having been around since Adam was an embryo, the Suzuki GS500E may be a trusty workhorse but it tends not to inspire passion in riders due to drab handling, gutless performance, dreadful finish and its perpetual association with L plates. The GS500E looks ok and they're dirt cheap but, for a few hundred pounds more, you can do a lot better ...

Brian Bwesigye
A thousand miles
Making my way down town walking fast
Faces past and I am homebound
Staring blankly ahead making my way through the crowd
And I'll need you and I'll miss you
And now, I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pas me by
Because you know I'd fall a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
I don't want to let you know
I live in your memory
I do not want to let this go
I do not

Oregon's small manufacturers grow under the radar
|| Print |
|Articles - October 2013
|Monday, September 30, 2013
Page 2 of 4
Though many of Oregon's bread-and-butter manufacturers operate in hole-in-the-wall spaces most locals don't know about, the global marketplace pits them against large overseas companies that rely on high-volume transactions and cheap labor.
As the last company in the U.S. producing whisks for restaurant suppliers and kitchen supply stores, 14-employee Best Manufacturers in Portland competes against large distributors importing from China that offer both bulk discounts and a variety of kitchen products along with the wire whippers.
"Stores and restaurant suppliers want to buy 100 different items from the same company, not each item from a different company," says owner John Merrifield. For Best products to even make it into stores, he says, "at the corporate level, someone has to care whether they're buying an American-made product."
Though globalization applies constant pressure to gritty Oregon manufacturers, the forces that work against them — namely, their often diminutive size and Oregon location — can work to their advantage too.
Specializing in the harnesses that hold the engine wires of industrial or military transportation equipment, the 40-employee AmFor Electronics in Portland often finds itself beaten out by larger companies in Mexico. Still, AmFor has been able to leverage its U.S. location to win back clients.
"Our per-piece price is higher, but companies are getting more savvy to looking at the entire process from start to finish," says Jesse Oliver, president of sales. When they consider the possibility of smaller lots, shorter lead times and quicker fixes to quality issues, they realize the total cost of a stateside manufacturer can actually be cheaper. "The challenge is finding those companies that see the value in the total landed cost methodology," Oliver says.
Don Riddle of Applied Plastics Machining in Portland also builds his business on advantages farther-flung companies have a hard time achieving. In his 12-person machine shop on a recent afternoon, one employee attached wheels to the base of a clear plastic jeweler's stool, a second screen-printed a logo onto a gas station snack-food holder, and a third flame-polished the edges of a Plexiglas cake riser that will eventually display Jockey underwear.
Riddle often works 60 to 70 hours a week and, if necessary, tears over to the UPS distribution center at midnight to ensure his clients prompt deliveries. "We're too flexible for the big guys," says Riddle. "If you need something at 3 o'clock this afternoon, I can do that. No manufacturer in China can do that."
Pacific Overhead Door (PACDOOR), just around the corner from Applied Plastics, adjusted its business model to similarly take advantage of its edge. Years ago, the company sold $200 mass-produced garage doors, but realizing that large national corporations were better equipped to satisfy mainstream demand, it began offering $2,000-plus carriage-style doors specifically tailored to customers' needs.
"We are constantly under assault by outside competition all over the country," owner Steve Harris says. "They sometimes can sell commodity doors at a cheaper price, but they can't sell custom doors and provide custom services nearly as competitively as we can sitting in our Portland home base, selling to people in the Portland metropolitan region."
While outsourcing has long been a no-brainer for companies looking to increase profit margins, Scherer says, that is changing. "The gap in what the true costs are of producing in the U.S. versus offshore is narrowing. For a while it was such a wide gap: Something that cost a buck here was three cents there." But as American productivity stays high and Chinese wages increase, "it's no longer an automatic decision," he says. "This is affecting even the littlest guys."

Thank you so much for posting the grave photos for Jane and William McKay. I changed the name on my posting. Jane also went by Jean for whatever reason, but I imagine that the name on her tombstone is the one of choice.
This is very much appreciated.

At first I was confused at when you asked about him being survived by his wife who had died thirty years before him. I was going to say that this is how I got the obit and had not really looked that close at it until you said something. But if you look at it just right it reads, in 1947 he was united in marriage to Pilar Gregorio. She passed in 1981. Then it says on Aug 3, 1983 he was united in marriage to Pilar Salvoador. So yes I am sure he is survived by Pilar his wife. (second wife that is)

Hi Kim. I will delete my entry after you get the information from it. I entered the information for a family member but I am not a family member myself.

What's blooming (and feeding wildlife) in our native plant yard
We have an early spring this February with our warm Southern California weather. I've been keeping track of what our resident hummingbird – the Anna's Hummingbird – is taking nectar from in our reconverted lawn, now mostly California natives. The insect life is also rich – which in turn attracts the hummingbirds and other winged life. Seems photos will speak best, so here are a few from the last couple months. [Read more…]
Supporting Local Organic Farmers
Another great talk — by Abby Harned from Three Sisters Farm in Redlands CA — at our Redlands horticulture meeting last night. (One advantage of being program chair is you get to invite wonderful speakers.) We learned first-hand how an organic farm is set up, and how they attract natural predators –insect and mammals that include coyotes and weasels — to take care of pests. They also plant rows of native plants and pollinator-attracting plants that provide habitat for beneficial insects. It was obvious that Abby and her husband, Jason, really love what they do.

Rockport Music presents: Cryogenic Renaissance Orchestra
Presented by Rockport Music at Shalin Liu Performance Center
January 19, 2013
This dynamic, brilliant sounding mini–big band is led by jazz composer, arranger, trumpeter, and Berklee faculty member Greg Hopkins. He creates a big band sound with a much smaller instrumentation in his own unique and original voice. The tight-knit nine-piece unit boasts some of the best jazz talent anywhere. Hopkins, longtime professor of jazz composition at Berklee, was soloist/arranger for the Buddy Rich Band in 1972–1974 before settling in the Boston area. In the Boston Globe, Bob Blumenthal called him "one of Boston's unappreciated jazz treasures."

Product description
This is the tale of two men. The first is Henry Tandey an ordinary man later deemed to be 'a hero of the old berserk type', born and brought up in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, who displayed extraordinary courage to emerge from the First World War as the most decorated British private to survive the war. The second is Adolf Hitler who was highly decorated in his service to Germany in the Great War and went on to become one of the most infamous dictators in history, later bringing the world to the brink of destruction during the Second World War. It seems unlikely that their fates should collide. Yet in 1938 Hitler named Tandey as the soldier who spared his life on 18 September 1918 in the aftermath of the Battle of Marcoing - an assertion that came to the surprise of Henry Tandey himself. One Soldier and Hitler tells the story of Tandey's and Hitler's Great War, the moment when their lives became intertwined - if in fact they did -and how Tandey lived with the stigma of being known not for his chestful of medals for gallantry in service of King and Country, but as the man who let Hitler live. DAVID JOHNSON is a passionate First World War historian and became fascinated by the story of Henry Tandey during a visit to Flanders Fields. He has spent many years tracing Henry's life and family to uncover the man behind the myth. He lives in Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire.

Migrant Mural Obscured by Luxury Apartment Building
Ruchit Agrawal
Recently, a new luxury apartment complex, Ava 55 Ninth, opened in the Mid-Market neighborhood, blocking views of a mural painted by 67 Suenos, a nonprofit, located next door, that focuses on migrant youth.
The space that Ava 55 Ninth now occupies was previously a vacant lot. According to Pablo Parelles, a founder of 67 Suenos, the lot was strewn with needles, and was a blight on the neighborhood. Youth involved with 67 Suenos decided to clean it up and paint a mural that highlighted their experiences as undocumented students. The students took pride in the fact that "even those passing by who were not political enjoyed the colors of the mural," said Paralles. Before Ava 55 Ninth was built the mural, erected on the building 67 Suneos occupies, could be seen from the vacant lot and adjacent sidewalk.
For Yoxeli Romero Santos, a youth leader at 67 Suenos, "because we had put in so much work, it was hard to see the message suddenly silenced." According to Parelles, even though initial plans for Ava 55 Ninth included an open space that would have allowed the mural to be visible, when the building was put up the space was gone. Rather than create a controversy that would distract from their mission, 67 Suenos initiated a partnership with Grandma Deli & Cafe, a Mid-Market business, which agreed to let them use the wall outside their store to create a new mural. That artwork will face a public street, and will never be covered by new construction.
A banner across Ava 55 Ninth proclaims that the apartments are now in a relationship with Mid-Market. Ironically, as a result of the construction of Ava 55 Ninth, 67 Suenos initiated a with Grandma Deli, a local business, which embodies the positive values the banner hopes to convey.

You are the one with the power to choose the way in which you respond to various challenges. Anyway, one thing we can clearly both agree on (as evidenced by our conversation so far) is that this is a week during which arguments over wrongs and responsibilities can too easily arise. Your role (and your responsibility) is to be positive and decisive.
Now, you really must hear your new, free week ahead spoken forecast. It's here!

Since The Last of Us was first announced during the SpikeTV Video Game Awards in December of 2011, details have been steadily trickling in via various tweets and releases by the game's developers at Naughty Dog. None of those details have yielded any information about a multiplayer mode, content that wasn't even confirmed until a year after the initial reveal.
All parties involved have been strangely silent when it comes to exactly what that or those modes would entail. Would it be a competitive evolution of their famed Uncharted multiplayer? Would it be a full on campaign with more than one human controlling the characters? Would it be something else?
"Something else" seems to be the case as Naughty Dog Lead Artist Nate Wells tweeted yesterday, "I wish I could appropriately prepare you people for [The Last of Us]. But even if I were allowed to, I can't. And I really can't prepare you for the best [multiplayer] ever conceived."
With the limited information available, it is anyone's guess what his words mean. Well, besides the obvious "it's gonna be awesome" that any member of a development team should think and relay publicly. Deeper than that, though, it truly seems as if this multiplayer is going to stand apart from anything we've ever seen. Potential overhype notwithstanding, curiosity has been piqued across the internet and it is still anyone's guess what his comments will entail.
One hint might come from a likely place. Uncharted 3 began its own cooperatively playable multiplayer adventure, an alternate universe of sorts for the series' storyline. But the real treasure (pun intended) was its gameplay. Beyond simply resurrecting your teammates, advancing through the five main chapters and one downloadable chapter on the harder difficulty settings required an organized approach. Okay, sometimes a pro who has completed these story missions hundreds of times could carry some less-experienced players through, but generally speaking your approach had to be and careful. The way 3 players interacted in their gameplay had a heavy emphasis on proceeding to the next battle or section.
This isn't anything new in co-op modes at face value. The interactions and use of boosters and weapon pickups were a huge part of the experience, notions also present in other games. But it felt as if this could be the basis for something bigger in the future.
Enter The Last of Us, a game that by all accounts appears to be tailor made for strategic co-op. Main characters Joel and Ellie interact constantly throughout all of the cutscenes and gameplay footage we've seen. On top of that, enemies seem to interact in such a way as to promote their own teamwork. Granted, AI governs their actions, but potential for controlling those groups of infected and even the paranoid survivors seems ever present.
Perhaps it is a reach to ascertain a potential co-op mode or even a fully developed one. Perhaps it is wishful thinking. Perhaps both. The signs are there, however, and if anyone can pull off a co-op mode to redefine the term, Naughty Dog certainly has the track record, at least in the sense that they have already made quite a unique and fluid multiplayer in the Uncharted games.
Boosters and Team Bonus perks were mentioned in a NeoGAF post by an apparently respectable member who did the same, accurately, for Uncharted 3′s multiplayer demo. In theory, all of the listed upgrades point to multiple players on a "team" and could also allude to competitive play. Imagine the allegedly leaked perks and boosters such as Combo Boost where players would "start with a larger combo multiplier" or various allusions to "listen mode," an ability apparently linked to seeing through walls via being able to listen to movement. These things would fit a co-op mode quite well and these types of boosters seem to separate from other "Team Boosters" which is a much smaller list. Again this is all speculation mixed with a hopeful mind, but it would make a ton of sense.
I, personally, have thought that we'd see Nathan Drake's creators come up with some kind of epic co-op mode with the same depth that hero and his friends and foes experienced in their online adventure since I first played it. I also believe such a mod would garner massive success and perhaps share in Drake's fortune. Co-op is an area of gaming that has been lightly touched upon by many developers but has not seen its potential fully realized. Is The Last of Us going to be the game that breaks the mold?
Today, Naughty Dog Co-president Christophe Balestra confirmed that the game has gone gold and yet still no further information on the multiplayer has been unveiled. God of War: Ascension owners will have access to a demo for The Last of Us on May 31st and that too is shrouded in mystery. Supposedly it is a new experience, not yet seen in trailers or official footage. An original take on co-op would fit this secrecy formidably. Or maybe it's just a portion of the campaign. So much speculation. The fungal apocalypse draws near and in mere weeks we'll discover if the above is prophetic or simply the ramblings of a mad man.

I like being useless in team fights as well
At least spell his name correctly.
Why do people still post and ask about builds? There are dozens of guides on every hero and the goods ones usually have a common ideal.
This is an ideal pubstomping build. But xin zhao is ultimately a melee dps. Focus on getting one to maybe two offensive items and then go tanky. BC and Ghostblade is probably all the damage you need. Wits End/Starks/SotD are also good items for easy aspd.
Build tank items accordingly.
This is horrible, Xin needs to be about ganking early and then carry annihilation midgame, and then about enemy control late game. Your build allows for none of this.
That build is complete ****. Besides being stupidly expensive and randomly combining 5 offensive items and boots, it has no defense whatsoever.
First of all, you don't need Frozen Mallet. Xin already has a good slow, a knockup, and his recharge lets him do it all over again as needed. Mallet costs a lot for its permanent snare and is thus not ideal.
The others have covered the rest.
***** a**holes at least you can be constructive without being rude
They are being constructive. Any criticism is constructive as long as you use it.
Meanwhile you made the dumbest possible build that shows you have no understanding on how melee champions work.
And why do epopel build Black Cleaver on Xin Zhao, it makes no sense?

Colorado Runners on Top at Mt. Washington Road Race
Two runners from Colorado Springs, Colorado, broke through in a major way on Saturday - PINKHAM NOTCH, NH (June 21, 2014) – Veteran mountain runner Joseph Gray had tried and come so close each of the last three years.
Shannon Payne, a newcomer to running the hills, was giving the Northeast Delta Dental Mt. Washington Road Race her first shot.
The two runners from Colorado Springs, Colorado, broke through in a major way on Saturday and won the men's and women's titles at the 54th running of this grueling all-uphill race in impressive fashion on a decent, but windy and chilly, day for racing.
Temperatures were in the high 40s at the base at the 9 a.m. starting time, and at the summit it was in the mid-30s, with winds gusting from 20 to 35 miles per hour.
Gray, 30, looked strong from the start and pulled away from defending champion and three-time winnerEric Blake of West Hartford, Connecticut, just past the halfway mark of the 7.6-mile trek up the Mt. Washington Auto Road to the highest peak in the Northeast.
Gray finished in a time of 59 minutes and nine seconds. Blake, 35, the cross country and track and field coach at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, finished in 1:00:01, four seconds slower than his winning time last year.

ABSTRACT: Although blood component transfusion is currently regarded as safe, adverse events may occur in recipients of these products. Among those, blood borne viral, bacterial and parasitic infections are best known. For detection of bacterial contamination in platelet concentrates various methods are available or under investigation. One of these methods, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with particular focus on real-time 16S rDNA detection, will be discussed in this review.Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine 02/2008; 46(7):954-62. · 3.01 Impact Factor
Article: Applications of real-time PCR in the screening of platelet concentrates for bacterial contamination.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although there have been major improvements over the past few decades in detection methods for blood-borne infectious agents, platelet concentrates are still responsible for most cases of transfusion-transmitted bacterial infections. To date, real-time PCR is an indispensable tool in diagnostic laboratories to detect pathogens in a variety of biological samples. In this article, the applications of this powerful technique in the screening of platelet concentrates for bacterial contamination are discussed. Next to pathogen-specific (real-time) PCR assays, particular attention is directed to the recently developed 16S rDNA real-time PCR. This assay has been proven as a convenient way to detect bacterial contamination of platelet concentrates. The assay is sensitive and enables rapid detection of low initial numbers of bacteria in platelet concentrates. The short turnaround time of this assay allows high-throughput screening and reduction of the risk of transfusion of bacterially contaminated units. As with every method, real-time PCR has its advantages and disadvantages. These and especially limitations inherent to generation of false-positive or -negative results are emphasized. The universal nature of detection of the assay may be suitable for generalized bacterial screening of other blood components, such as red blood cells and plasma. Therefore, it is necessary to adapt and optimize detection in red blood cells and plasma with real-time PCR. Further sophistication, miniaturization and standardization of extraction and amplification methods should improve the total performance and robustness of the assay. Hence, real-time PCR is an attractive method in development as a more rapid screening test than currently used culture methods to detect bacterial contamination in blood components.Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics 12/2006; 6(6):865-72. · 4.09 Impact Factor

Article: Amplified-fragment length polymorphism analysis of Propionibacterium isolates implicated in contamination of blood products.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Propionibacterium acnes is implicated in most cases of bacterial contamination of platelet concentrates (PCs). To determine the source of contamination, amplified-fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was applied. This DNA fingerprinting technique was used to study the molecular relationship of 44 isolates derived from 22 PCs and 22 corresponding red blood cells concentrates (RBCs) from the same whole blood donations. The AFLP results together with sequencing analysis of the 1,200 bp of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene revealed the existence of three main groups: two groups (groups 2 and 3) (55%) consisted of isolates that did not originate from skin flora and another group (group 1) (45%) comprised bacteria belonging to the skin flora. This latter group showed complete homology with reference strains of P. acnes. Therefore these isolates can be considered as P. acnes strains. In contrast, contaminants from groups 2 and 3 were shown to be molecularly unrelated to the P. acnes found on the skin surface. The AFLP is reproducible and gave invaluable information about the nature of Propionibacteria contaminating PCs. To gain more insights into the source of contamination, this technique could be exploited in further studies to determine the molecular relationship of different bacteria commonly found in blood products.British Journal of Haematology 12/2005; 131(3):403-9. · 4.94 Impact Factor
Article: Optimal sampling time after preparation of platelet concentrates for detection of bacterial contamination by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A universal quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), based on bacterial 16S rDNA, to detect bacterial contamination of platelet concentrates (PCs), was developed previously and compared with automated culturing. In the present study, this real-time PCR method was evaluated to determine the optimal sampling time for screening of bacterial contamination in PCs. Routinely prepared PCs were spiked with suspensions of Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Propionibacterium acnes to 1, 10 and 100 colony-forming units (CFU)/ml and stored at room temperature for 7 days. The presence of bacteria in these PCs was monitored by quantitative real-time PCR. As a reference method (additional control), BacT/Alert automated culturing was used. For PCR, 1-ml aliquots were drawn from all (spiked) PCs on days 0, 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 of storage. As a control, triplicate samples (10 ml) were inoculated into aerobic and anaerobic BacT/Alert culture bottles immediately after spiking (day 0) and after storage for 1, 2, 3, 6 or 7 days. With quantitative real-time PCR, all bacterial species tested were reproducibly detected on day 1 after spiking at original concentrations of 10 and 100 CFU/ml. Bacteria were also detected on day 1 from PCs spiked with an initial concentration of 1 CFU/ml, except for E. coli, which was detected in only one of the three samples and P. aeruginosa, for which analysis was not performed on day 1. With the reference method, bacteria were detected in culture bottles (inoculated on day 0) within a mean time of 20.1 h, with the exception of P. acnes which was detected at a mean time of 102.3 and 49.3 h (for original spiking concentrations of 10 and 100 CFU/ml respectively). PCR enables the rapid detection of low initial numbers of bacteria in PCs. For reliable detection, our results support that sampling of PCs for real-time PCR screening should not be carried out earlier than 1 day after preparation (48 h after blood collection). Importantly, the real-time PCR approach has the potential to be used before the release of PCs from the blood centre or shortly before they are transfused in the hospital.Vox Sanguinis 12/2005; 89(4):208-14. · 2.85 Impact Factor
Article: Detection of bacteria in platelet concentrates: comparison of broad-range real-time 16S rDNA polymerase chain reaction and automated culturing.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Based on real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology, a broad-range 16S rDNA assay was validated and its performance was compared to that of an automated culture system to determine its usefulness for rapid routine screening of platelet concentrates (PCs). The presence of bacteria in pooled PCs was routinely assessed in an automated culturing system (BacT/ALERT, bioMerieux). The PCR assay was performed with DNA extracted from the same samples as used for culturing. DNA extraction was performed with a automated extraction system (MagNA Pure, Roche Diagnostics). PCR amplification was performed with a set of universal primers and probe targeting eubacterial 16S rDNA. A total of 2146 PCs were tested. Eighteen (0.83%) samples were found to be contaminated. These samples were positive for the presence of bacteria by both methods. All contaminants were identified as bacteria belonging to the common human skin flora. These included Propionibacterium spp. (n = 7), Staphylococcus spp. (n = 6), Bacillus spp. (n = 2), Micrococcus spp. (n = 2), and Peptostreptococcus spp. (n = 1). Estimation of the bacterial load in PCs by real-time PCR showed that the initial levels of contamination varied between 13.6 and 9 x 10(4) colony-forming unit equivalents per PCR procedure. Compared to culture in the BacT/ALERT system, the PCR assay had a sensitivity of 100 percent and a specificity of 100 percent. This real-time PCR assay has a much shorter turnaround time of 4 hours, which offers the possibility to test and obtain results on PCs before release or the day they are transfused. This would permit the withdrawal of contaminated PCs before transfusion.Transfusion 06/2005; 45(5):731-6. · 3.53 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Due to contamination of DNA extraction reagents, false-positive results can occur when applying broad-range real-time PCR based on bacterial 16S rDNA. Filtration of the nucleic acid extraction kit reagents with GenElute Maxiprep binding columns was effective in removing this reagent-derived contaminating DNA while the sensitivity of the assay was maintained.Journal of Microbiological Methods 06/2005; 61(2):285-8. · 2.16 Impact Factor
Article: Detection of bacterial DNA in blood samples from febrile patients: underestimated infection or emerging contamination?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We applied real-time broad-range polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect bacteraemia in blood from febrile patients. Interpretation of amplification results in relation to clinical data and blood culture outcome was complex, although the reproducibility of the PCR results was good. Sequencing analysis of the PCR products revealed the presence of Burkholderia species DNA while no Burkholderia species grew in culture. The source of this contamination was shown to be the commercial DNA isolation kit used in the automated MagNA Pure Isolation Robot. A high degree of suspicion is required when uncommon or unexpected pathogens are diagnosed by molecular methods as clinical consequences can be serious.FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology 11/2004; 42(2):249-53. · 2.68 Impact Factor
Article: Real-time amplification of HLA-DQA1 for counting residual white blood cells in filtered platelet concentrates.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND A real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay based on amplification of a conserved region of the HLA-DQA1 locus was developed and validated to assess its suitability in quantitating low levels of white blood cells (WBCs) in filtered platelet (PLT) concentrates (PCs). To determine the detection limit, serial dilutions of nonfiltered PCs with known quantities of WBCs were prepared. The analytical sensitivity and accuracy of the assay was tested with WBC concentrations ranging from 300 to 0.03 per microL with real-time PCR and flow cytometry. In addition, 126 random PCs were investigated to assess the capacity of the PCR method to quantify residual WBCs in clinical specimens. A sensitivity of 0.2 WBC equivalent per micro L (1.5 x 10(4) WBC equivalents/unit) was achieved. The assay was shown to be accurate and the HLA-DQA1 gene was reproducibly and consistently amplified in all tested samples (coefficient of variance of < 5%). Overall, the results of the PCR assay correlated well with those of the flow cytometry. The PCR assay detected a concentration of 3 WBCs per micro L (approximately 1 x 10(6) WBCs/unit) with 100 percent accuracy. Real-time PCR is rapid, sensitive, accurate, and reproducible. Hence this approach may prove suitable in routine monitoring of residual WBCs in PCs.Transfusion 09/2004; 44(9):1314-8. · 3.53 Impact Factor
Article: Optimization of real-time PCR assay for rapid and sensitive detection of eubacterial 16S ribosomal DNA in platelet concentrates.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A real-time PCR assay was developed for rapid detection of eubacterial 16S ribosomal DNA in platelet concentrates. The sensitivity of this assay can be hampered by contaminating DNA in the PCR reagents. Digestion of the PCR reagents with Sau3AI prior to PCR amplification was effective in eliminating this contaminating DNA without affecting the sensitivity of the assay.Journal of Clinical Microbiology 11/2003; 41(10):4796-8. · 4.07 Impact Factor

"Lured Delhi-based businessman with lucrative offer, kidnapped": Crime Branch
Demanded Rs. 50 lakhs from Ram Avatar Bansal's familyRansom money reduced to Rs 9.5 lakhs The accused had earlier extorted Rs. 1 lakh from a businessman posing as a Dawood aide
NEW DELHI: An alleged extortionist operating from Bahrain has been arrested by the Crime Branch of the Delhi police for allegedly kidnapping and trying to extort money from a Delhi-based businessman.
Bahrain Interpol officials had informed their Indian counterparts and the Crime Branch about the kidnapping of the businessman there last October. A team of the Inter-State Cell of the Crime Branch, led by Inspector Subhash Tandon, finally managed to track down the accused, Saleem Noor Mohammad, a resident of Patan district in Gujarat, at Mumbai Airport on Monday before he could escape to Saudi Arabia under an assumed name. He was brought in the Capital on Tuesday and remanded to police custody till January 9.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Tajender Luthra said one Nazir Miya Malek -- a name Saleem had assumed -- had invited Ram Avatar Bansal, a wax dealer from Model Town, to Bahrain offering a business deal. Mr. Bansal reached Bahrain on a visa sponsored by Saleem on October 11 when he was taken captive by the accused and his two accomplices. He then demanded Rs. 50 lakhs from Mr. Bansal's family, which was brought down to Rs. 9.5 lakhs.
The Bahrain police, however, managed to rescue Mr. Bansal after three days in captivity. One of Saleem's accomplices was also arrested. But Saleem managed to escape to India following which the Indian authorities were informed.
Mr. Luthra said Saleem's father was involved in a fake currency racket and worked for Aftab Butki, a lieutenant of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. He was arrested and convicted for pushing fake currency into the market.
In 2001, Saleem took over his father's activities and also extorted Rs. 1 lakh from a businessman posing as an aide of Dawood Ibrahim. Due to police pressure, he left Gujarat and went to Mumbai where he met with Nazir Miya Malek, a cook who wanted to go to Middle East to earn more money.
On the pretext of helping him get a visa, Saleem took Nazir's passport and Rs. 10,000 from him, and replaced Nazir's photograph with that of his own. Then, with the help of forged documents, he managed to go to Bahrain.
Subsequently, Saleem also procured visa for Kuwait and kept shifting his base. He would be on the lookout for businessmen from India who visited Bahrain and Kuwait and then call them up posing as Dawood's aide. His relatives or accomplices collected the money in India through hawala.

HOUSTON (AP) — Harris County authorities are seeking the public's help in determining who left a slain pig near a Houston-area mosque.
Sheriff Adrian Garcia said Wednesday that investigators will consider whether to classify the incident as a hate crime.
The carcass was found Tuesday night outside the Cypress-area Islamic Outreach Center, which opened in July. Bloodstains were near the door of the mosque.
Imam Fahad Tasleem says mosque officials have introduced themselves to their neighbors to try to create a friendly environment. He says the pig incident shows how important it is to educate the public about Islam. Tasleem says he'd rather have people come to the mosque and get their questions answered.
Pork is a forbidden food in Islam.

LINCOLN — Down, but not out.
That was the mindset of the players of ninth-seeded Mount St. Charles Academy during their Division I playoff matchup with top-seed Lincoln High on Saturday.
Facing a three-run deficit entering the seventh inning, the underdog Mounties scored four times in the final frame en route to a 4-3 win over the Lions in the opener of the double-elimination tourney at Lonsdale Elementary School.
Taylor Messier tied the contest at 3 with a two-run double and teammate Emily Hendricks drove in the game-winner with base hit in the gap.
PROVIDENCE — Lincoln High's perfect season came to an end at the hands of … a perfect season.
In Saturday's clash between two unbeaten teams trying to etch their names into the Rhode Island Interscholastic League history books, it was Tiverton that emerged with an unblemished record — and the Division II state championship.
A late second-half comeback fell short for the Lions, who watched the Tigers celebrate a 12-8 victory at Rhode Island College to cap a 17-0 campaign.
BLACKSTONE – As students, they made it through difficult economic times and the challenges of an unsettled and dangerous world.
Now the future looms for 104 members of Blackstone-Millville Regional High School's Class of 2011, and the purple-and-gold-dressed graduates walking into the school's 41st commencement Friday evening were told to count on successes already achieved to make it a bright one.
High School Principal Richard Porter pointed to the evening's perfect weather as making the ceremony a special one just as would the performances by a "fabulous" BMR band and chorus.
BELLINGHAM - On a breezy, cool Friday evening, 115 Bellingham High School Blackhawks completed 13 years of formal schooling and they did it with class and style.
"What beautiful weather," outgoing School Superintendent David N. Fischer said at Friday's 73rd annual commencement exercises to honor the Class of 2011 graduating seniors. Yesterday's postcard-perfect weather saw the ceremony held outdoors for the first time in three years.

The swastika is an ancient sun symbol, used in many cultures throughout history. If you see a swastika in a work - any work - made in the 1920s or earlier, the symbol has nothing to do with NaziGermany.
It's usually golden rather than black, often has arms pointing anti-clockwise in contrast to the clockwise Nazi swastika, and standing "straight", with one cross-arm vertical and the other horizontal, rather than standing on one corner like the Nazi one. Usually, but far from always, there are lots of variants. See the RealLife examples below for more details.
Polar opposite of ANaziByAnyOtherName: ''This'' trope is about cases where the most famous symbol of Nazism actually doesn't have anything to do with Nazism.
Contrast NoSwastikas.
[[folder: Anime and Manga ]]
* ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' had a minor villain with a swastika tattooed on his forehead. This was removed in the English dub.
** Lampshaded in [[YuYuHakushoAbridged Lanipator's]] AbridgedSeries. Yusuke calls the villain a skinhead, and when the villain reacts with wonderment, Yusuke asks him how he couldn't see that one coming, pointing that he is both bald and has a swastika on his forehead. It then gets a further twist, as the villain starts explaining at length how his swastika is not German but Buddhist, and Yusuke attacks him while he monologues, telling him afterwards that he was perfectly aware of the difference but needed a distraction.
* Manji of ''BladeOfTheImmortal'' has the swastika symbol on the back of his clothes as a reference to immortality. In fact, manji is the Japanese name for the swastika symbol (though the symbol itself is reversed to point counterclockwise). In the original version, it's drawn in the "Nazi direction", but in the English translation it was flipped to the "Buddhist direction".
* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', Ichigo's bankai incorporates a Manji into the sword's guard. The manji is used in writing the word "bankai"--卍解--making Zangetsu's release a kind of visual pun.
* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', a swastika was incorporated in the crest of the Whitebeard pirates. This was changed in the anime to crossbones in a + shape. The manga later {{Retcon}}ned the symbol to match.
* In ''{{Naruto}}'' Neji's curse-seal is a manji symbol. It's left alone in the manga, but the anime changed it to an X.
[[folder: Business ]]
* There was a Swastika Laundry in Dublin who even painted it in black on a white roundel on their [[http://www.curbsideclassic.com/blog/the-swastika-laundry-electric-trucks-we-had-it-first/ red trucks]], adding "Since 1912" in 1940. They stayed in business until the '70s.
[[folder: Comic Books ]]
* In ''SinCity'', the assassin Miho throws a large shuriken in the shape of a manji.
[[folder: Film ]]
* In ''Literature/TheDaVinciCode'', Langdon is giving a speech at a conference. He shows part of an image of a swastika, everyone thinks about nazis, then Langdon shows the complete image, with a clearly buddhist context.
* In ''KalHoNaaHo'', Naina and Jennifer paint a swastika in the window of their restaurant - in New York - as part of its revamping. No one comments on this, and the new concept is a huge success.
* Subverted in ''Film/OneNightWithTheKing'', an adaptation of the Literature/BookOfEsther. The villain Haman wears the good luck swastika millennia before the Nazis, yet also happens to be planning to exterminate the Jews.
* In ''Film/IronSky'', when the [[SpaceNazis Moon Nazis]] attack, everyone thinks India is in league with them because the Indian ambassador to the UN happened to be wearing a ring with a swastika one it.
[[folder: Literature ]]
* One autobiography of the last Tzar of Russia mentions the empress being very fond of the Swastika.
* In ''Literature/TheGreatGatsby'', the Jewish gangster Meyer Wolfsheim operates out of the "Swastika Club" (presumably, like many older buildings, it has that design on it). There is some argument though that this wasn't an innocent usage, as Wolfsheim is something of an anti-Semitic caricature, and the Nazi movement had already adopted it as their symbol by the time the novel was written, and Fitzgerald was fairly knowledgeable of white supremacist movements.
* UK editions of RudyardKipling's books published before the 1930s often have left-hand swastikas on the title pages.
* "Origin Story", by Dwight R. Decker, uses this trope; a magical being who's been away for the past century gets turned down when he tries to give a man the [[EmbarrassingButEmpoweringOutfit superpowers and identity of Captain Swastika (with big swastikas on his costume)]].
* Invoked in PoulAnderson's ''OperationChaos'', where the hero, from a universe where WorldWarII was fought entirely differently, knows no other form and can not understand why a demon in hell is wearing the ancient and honorable symbol of the fylfot. The reader, of course, gets enough clues to recognize a {{Ghostapo}} Hitler.

* ''KolchakTheNightStalker'': in the "Rakshasa" episode, Kolchak sought wisdom from an emigrant from India, who had swastikas. The man explained that in his culture they were holy symbols.
[[folder: Newspaper Comics ]]
* In a Milt Gross ''Count Screwloose'' comic done on November 2, 1930, a canoe with a thick-lined, red swastika is pictured in one of the panels.
[[folder: Tabletop Games ]]
* One of the ''TabletopGame/{{Pokemon}}'' trading card game cards, the Koga's Ninja Trick card, originally had the symbol on it in mirror image until people complained and it was altered.
[[folder: Video Games ]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'':
** Both Ran and Yukari Yakumo from ''Perfect Cherry Blossom'' use a manji-themed spellcard in their battles with you. Ran's version is ''Shikigami's Shot "Ultimate Buddhist"'' and Yukari's is ''Evil Spirits "Butterfly in the Zen Temple."''
** ''Imperishable Night'' has Fujiwara no Mokou's Deathless "Xu Fu's Dimension" spellcard.
* This is set up purposefully in ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy 2''. The Big Bad Lance is portrayed as a neo-Nazi intent on destroying the world to rebuild it. However, if one looks carefully at his uniform, his swastika is facing the other direction from the Nazi swastika to form the Buddhist symbol for peace, an appropriate reflection of his ultimate motives.
* The original ''VideoGame/{{The Legend Of Zelda|I}}'' had a dungeon shaped like a swastika, described as "manji" in the manual. Definitely a case of ValuesDissonance.
* Appears in the seventh world of Namco's arcade game ''Phozon''. A clockwise swastika appears in the world's second stage and a counterclockwise swastika appears in the world's third stage.
* In ''VideoGame/TengaiMakyou II: Manjimaru'', the title character's name is written with one.
* Appears as the crest of many Indian regions in ''VideoGame/CrusaderKings 2: Rajahs of India''.
[[folder: Web Comics ]]
* ''Webcomic/CityOfReality'': Todo [[http://cityofreality.com/2009/10/15/04-01-goldtrim/ has a shirt]] with one on the front, off-center. It is never shown in its entirety.
[[folder: Web Original ]]
* Used for DeliberateValuesDissonance in the AlternateHistory timeline "Monarchy World" by Tony Jones, in which a swastika is used as the emblem of the United Nations-equivalent precisely because it is such a universally used symbol in many cultures and religions (see below).
* In ''LookToTheWest'' the swastika becomes thought of as an Etruscan symbol because it was found on an Etruscan artefact and then used as the symbol of a Tuscan-based radical movement inspired by the Etruscan civilisation as a result. In reality of course the Etruscans were just one of many cultures to use the symbol, but it's the one that got all the publicity.
[[folder: Real Life ]]
* Here's a list of cultures and religions that have used the swastika.
** Hinduism: A representation of the god Ganesh, as an emblem of good fortune, to evoke "Shakti".
** Buddhism: As a representation of eternity.
** China and Japan: Eternity and the number 10,000. Also used in Japan (as well as in Korea, Taiwan and UsefulNotes/HongKong) to mark the locations of Buddhist temples on maps.
** Jainism: Even more prominent than in Buddhism or Hinduism; all holy books and temples must bear the swastika.
** Iran: A golden necklace of three swastikas at least three thousand years old was found.
** Ural Mountains: The Bashkir people feature the swastika prominently in their ancient iconography.
** Armenia: The swastika was prominent in medieval architecture, such as churches and fortresses, and also found in pre-Christian carvings. It was called an ''arevkhatch'' (sun cross).
** Pre-Columbian America: The swastika has been found associated with cultures throughout North and South America, including the First Nations of Canada, the Navajo and Hopi of the southwestern United States, the Mississippian culture of the east and southeast US, and the Kuna people of Panama. Some of these, are still in use today, though efforts are made to distance them from the Nazis.
** AncientGrome: A symbol of eternal motion, representing a windmill or watermill. Typically not found alone, but rather as part of a repeating design.
** Celtic: Pre-Christian Celts used swastikas on their metalwork and stonework.
** Germans: Bore special importance in funerary symbols, possibly as an emblem of Thor.
** Illyria (South-eastern Europe): Represented the sun.
** Baltics: Pre-Christian. The two versions were called the fire cross and the thunder cross, and represented the thunder god Perkons and the sun.
** Slavic: Pre-Christian. Found in ornamentation, usually as a solar symbol.
** Sami (Arctic Europeans): A double cross or double axe is found on their drums, thought to represent the thunder god, a derivation of Thor.
* In several parts of Asia such as Japan, South Korea, and Thailand, the manji is commonly seen on Buddhist temples and service centers.
* The Raelians hold an annual "take back the swastika" day to try to rehabilitate the public's perception of the swastika. Given that they're a UFO cult, not many notice and even fewer care.
* [[http://reclaimtheswastika.com/ Reclaim the Swastika]] is a website dedicated to try to rehabilitate the public's perception of the swastika.
* The Finnish Air Force used to use a swastika because that was the personal lucky emblem of the man who donated their first plane. Confusing when Finland was in an 'enemy of my enemy' style alliance with Nazi Germany during WWII (and operated American and Dutch planes).
** The swastika is square and blue, making it easily distinguishable from the Nazi one. A variant with long central arms was used by the army. While the air force now uses a roundel, both types of swastikas are still quietly found on flags and medals.
** The official Finnish order [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_White_Rose_of_Finland Order of the White Rose of Finland]] had swasticas as part of its collar until 1963, where they were replaced with fir crosses.
* The US 45th division (formed from Arizona National Guard) had a yellow swastika on red as its patch until 1939. This was replaced by a gold Thunderbird. Interestingly, Bill Mauldin (who was in the division, from when it was still National Guard) didn't make a cartoon about it.
* RedOctober era Russia: the swastika was used as a symbol on the Provisional Government money (kerenki). The Bolsheviks also considered to adopt it but ultimately rejected it in favor of the famous red star.
* Occult: The "Sign of the Mourning of Isis" in some GoldenDawn derived groups involves taking up a swastika posture.
* The [=CU=](Credit Union) Service Center has [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cuswirl_4481.gif a swastika that is tilted at a 45 degree angle (like the Nazi swastika), but has curved spokes that come to a point (unlike the Nazi swastika)]] as its symbol.
* The Coronado Naval Amphibious Base in San Diego Bay was accidentally designed like a Swastika, and the architect just hoped no one would notice. And no one did... until Google Earth was invented.
* Carlsberg Beer originally had a swastika [[http://www.carlsberggroup.com/Company/heritage/Pages/CarlJacobsenstrademark1881.aspx as part of their trademark]]. Its use was gradually phased out during the thirties and the swastika finally disappeared completely in 1945, however it can still be seen on the old brewery buildings as well as on some of the museums and churches in Copenhagen that the brewery's philanthropic owner Carl Jacobsen paid for.
