About Impact Drivers
Impact drivers use higher speeds then an Impact wrench. The higher speeds create a bit lower torque so when using it for fasteners like deck screws, they don't snap off. With that said they still on average make 3X the torque of a standard Drill, allowing you to work faster. ToolKing.com offers a great selection of Impact Drivers at the web's lowest prices.

Unsatisfactory conditions inside Sandy school: shut it down, say parents
Parents at PS 114 say the Department of Education jumped the gun and reopened the Belle Harbor school before it was properly inspected. Now parents are planning to protest until the Department of Education shuts down the school to remedy the situation.
"School is such an important part of our kids lives. They were all desperate to return to get some sense of normalcy," said PTA president Irene Dougherty.
PS 114 reopened last week, a week ahead of schedule. Parents said it surprised them since the school sat under five feet of water but trusted that the Department of Education. Once inside, parents said they got a rude awakening. Doughtery noticed reside from Sandy flood waters in the auditorium and sludge still on chairs where students were sitting.
"The water is full of fecal matter, bacteria and microorganisms and those seats were still there," said Doughtery.
Parents cried for help and days later Doughtery said the Department of Education brought in inspectors to test the school. Test parents maintain should have been conducted before kids were allowed back in.
PIX 11 got our hands on the test results. The report shows the school lacked heat. Temperatures inside reached a low of 58 degrees. The auditorium and whole basement level that includes a music room and the teachers lunch room, be closed. Moisture was detected in building materials and that an odor of moisture lurked in the air.
Parent Maud Smith said foreign smells forced teachers to yank students from the classroom "The third floor wreaked like sewage. Kids had to be pulled from classrooms," said Maud Smith.
The United Federation of Teachers conducted independent tests. Since then the auditorium and basement have been shut down. The union support parents and released this statement to PIX 11: "we have serious concerns about PS 114 and that's why we asked for the basement and auditorium be closed. The right thing to do is bring in the experts to insect building up and down over the weekend."
The DOE says the school is safe and modifications have been made to keep kids in class.
200 of the 800 enrolled are back at the Belle Harbor school. At an executive meeting on Friday night, parents will discuss the possibility of protesting and pulling their kids from the classroom Monday. They are asking for the DOE to shut down the school until it's properly cleaned and inspected.Copyright © 2014, Sun Sentinel

Two killed, 20 injured in Helmand blastsBy Zainullah Stanakzai Jun 20, 2010 - 16:23
LASHKARGAH (PAN): At least two people were killed and around 20 others injured on Sunday in two consecutive explosions in the southern province of Helmand, officials said.
The first detonation took place at 7:50am and the second at 8:10pm in Lashkargah city, the capital of Helmand province, provincial police chief, Brig. Gen. Muhammad Hakim Angar, told Pajhwok Afghan News.
The first blast occurred in front of Kabul Bank, killing a woman and a child and injuring three others, he said.
The bomb was detonated by remote control, a police officer in the area, Abdul Haq told Pajhwok Afghan News. He said police had found another bomb in a hand cart and were trying to defuse it.
The second explosion took place 20 minutes after the first one in the Semti area of the city, as a police vehicle drove past, said an eyewitness, Abdul Wahab.
No police were injured, but two nearby shopkeepers were wounded, he added.
A doctor on duty at Bost hospital said on condition of anonymity, that 20 people had been brought in with injuries.

Time abroad is not the same without creative ways to keep in touch with family, friends and world events. As travelers we live a mobile lifestyle and appreciate solutions that are compact and don't compromise on style. Communication has come a long way with many options available.
Blogging has become a way of life for me and my passion for writing. I used to annoy others with my long emails. I wrote seemingly unnecessary details that my friends appreciated but couldn't relate to. I started writing emails to myself and that felt weird after a while. Until I found Facebook. I wrote posts and wrote more and more. That was quite annoying and not very social. Do I have a life? Who writes 10 posts in one day on Facebook! And one day I found WordPress as I was researching about an idea for a webpage. I turned my efforts to blogging. And here I am now, writing to the world.
Love this and can't wait to get my hands on an i-pad one day. So much to do and so much to learn! I appreciate how the WordPress Team keeps in touch with technological advancements. Definitely spices up my life every day when I hear about something new! Can't wait to 'Wow my iPad readers!'

Facebook has always been known for focusing more on product than advertising. While the social networking giant is verging on 1 billion users, it only reported $4 billion in revenues in 2011 – one tenth of Google's 2011 revenues.
Common criticisms of Facebook's advertising programs include limited creative options, lack of targeting precision, no mobile support, and generally questionable ROI. The weaknesses of social advertising in general are clear – Facebook users are online to socialize, not shop, and reaching someone through demographic and interest targeting doesn't carry nearly the same power as keyword or cookie based targeting.
Now, with the IPO behind them, Facebook has recently announced two major upgrades to their advertising options: sponsored stories for mobile, and the Facebook Exchange.
Sponsored Stories for Mobile
Leading up to the IPO, Facebook faced major criticism about their lack of mobile advertising options. Although almost half of Facebook users use the site from a mobile device, there was no way to advertise to these mobile users.
This has now changed – earlier this month, Facebook announced a new mobile ad format called Sponsored Stories for Mobile. Now, advertisers can buy ads specifically on mobile devices, either through the API or the Power Editor.
Early reviews of this new format have been positive. New studies from major FB advertisers TBG Digital, AdParlor, and Spruce Media have shown some amazing performance – an impressive 1.140% click through rate for mobile sponsored stories. That's a huge figure for display advertising in general, and compared to other Facebook formats, is a massive improvement.
Why are mobile ads working so well? One thought is the mobile sponsored stories are just very well integrated, "organic" looking ads. Users are treating these sponsored stories as actual content, rather than ignoring them as ads. By making ads look like content, and heavily leveraging the social graph to improve relevance, Facebook's mobile ads product is coming out of the gate looking very strong.
The Facebook Exchange
Another newly-launched advertising initiative, the Facebook exchange will allow 3rd party demand side platforms to show ads to retargeted users. This could be a huge leap forward in Facebook advertising relevance. Retargeting is known to be a very high-ROI format, and compared to the typically very low CTRs of Facebook ads, the Facebook Exchange could offer an unprecedented precision in FB targeting.
How will the system work? Basically, users who visit 3rd party (non-Facebook) websites can be identified with a cookie. When these cookied users browse Facebook, FB will identify them based on the cookies, and allow advertisers to show them specifically relevant ads.
Anyone familiar with traditional retargeting will get the concept right away. Facebook has just become a publisher for advertisers looking to reach retargeted users.
Apart from being a very significant overall improvement, it also represents a shift in the overall purpose of FB advertising. In the past, you could often say that FB ads were very "branding" focused, and generally existed to make users aware of companies, brands, and products.
Retargeting-based advertising, however, is generally more direct-response based. By definition, a retargeted user is already aware of whatever is being marketed, and retargeting usually aims to shift that user from awareness to purchase. Bringing FB ads lower in the funnel is a great technique for improving ROI and making a clear case to advertisers for the value of Facebook advertising.

on't look now, but prehistoric creatures are roaming southeastern Michigan and northwestern Ohio.
To the north, 24 animatronic dinosaurs prowl the Detroit Science Center for its "Dinosaurs Unearthed" exhibit.
To the south, visitors can search for relics at the Imagination Station's "Big Dig" in Toledo.
To the northwest, dinosaurs at the University of Michigan Exhibit Museum of Natural History will be joined by the skeleton of a long-extinct whale.
And coming this summer, the Detroit Zoo will add dinosaurs to its exhibit of fearsome creatures with "Dinosauria."
Here's a look at those exhibits, plus a few others.

Q: How did you get involved in cooking to begin with? Was it something you learned to love early on or did you come to it later?
A: I have been involved in cooking for as long as I can remember! I quite literally "grew up" on the kitchen counter watching my mom cook. My mother and grandmother are both award-winning cooks, and I have so many wonderful memories of their cooking competitions. When I was old enough to start entering cooking contests myself, I was thrilled! My first big competition came at the age of 12 when I was lucky enough to be one of the 100 finalists in the Pillsbury Bake-Off. In fact, my grandmother was a finalist that same year, so we actually competed against each other! She ended up winning $10,000 for her recipe and I won $2,000! From that moment, I was hooked and have been entering cooking contests ever since. Today I work as a food writer and website host for the Better Homes and Gardens website www.BetterRecipes.com. I also travel all across the country and the globe doing live cooking demonstrations and television shows.
Q: Why is eating grass-fed meat and sustainably-caught fish different? How does it affect your cooking? Is it just about health? Or is there more to it than that?
A: Making the choice to eat grass-fed meat and sustainably-caught fish is easy. It just tastes better! I think it also does affect my cooking because I find the color of the meat or fish is more appealing and results in a more beautiful dish on the plate. .
Q: How did you learn about grass-fed meat?
A: I started seeing the option at grocery stores, and began purchasing their grass-fed products.
Q: What are the most important keys to success for the home chef?
A: Nowadays, there are so many great resources for the home chef. When someone is looking for new recipes to serve their family, I think they should look to a reputable source, such as the classic Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. The internet is also a great resource, but again I encourage cooks to turn to a brand you trust. That's one of the reasons I love working with www.BetterRecipes.com! I also encourage the home chef to have fun and be adventurous! Give new dishes and new flavors a try. It helps break up the dinnertime monotony and expands your family's palate.
Q: What advice do you have for families in the kitchen? And for encouraging everyone in the family to eat the same meal?
A:I think mealtime should be a family event. Kids are more likely to try new foods and eat the same meal as the rest of the family when they are invited to be part of cooking process. Cooking should be fun and not a chore!

Crafting consensus legislation on health reform depends heavily on all parties understanding precisely the terms of the debate. With the two House and Senate bills now topping out at more than 4,000 text pages, prospects for even a basic awareness of the implications of this reform for big pharma and society are dim. The unfortunate result is that ideology and punditry are today driving much of the discussion, orchestrated by interest groups with an eye on shaping the opinions of a restive public.
As always, money is the price of admission to the circus inner ring. The Center for Responsive Politics reports that health sector interests – ranging from the drug industry and insurers to organized labor and professional academic organizations – will spend $400 million by the end of this year to influence the reform legislation. This is a record in terms of any one piece of legislation before Congress, and for that the many who have invested resources in lobbying have scant assurance that their goals will be secured – or more important, maintained for the long-term.
The conclusion is to expect the unexpected. And to drive that point further, here are a few choice clichés about health reform and the realities likely to intervene to humble even the most confident of forecasters:
"Getting a bill passed will provide the certainty that investors need to secure their business." Signing a massive reform bill into law is but the first step of a mandated process likely to take years – well beyond the current business cycle. Hence the impact of reform is virtually impossible to assess, except for the fact that more uncertainty involving one sixth of the US economy is unlikely to encourage the private risk-taking that creates jobs and tax revenues.
There is the obvious fact that for budgetary reasons much of the contents of the bill will not be implemented until 2014, midway through a President Obama second term. What takes place first is the preparation of regulations to put flesh on obscure legislative language, and this will involve the participation of staff from at least 40 federal departments and agencies. And many changes with the largest impact on industry – including bundled payment schemes, accountable care organizations or activities to support biomedicines innovation – must be tested first as "pilot" programs. These require extensive negotiations with state and local governments as well as with industry; based on previous legislative history this can take as long as a decade.
Finally, there is a follow up legislative agenda for Congress, which according to the Democratic leadership will include hotly contested and commercially sensitive issues like coding reforms for Medicare reimbursement, due to the fact that the current system has not really been changed since the 1970s.
"Universal coverage for all Americans can be achieved without raising taxes on the middle class." Reform will move the US closer to the ideal of the Euro/Japanese welfare state – that is clear. But the structural implication of financing this worthy goal over time is not addressed in the current legislation. The best way to show this is to examine what the public in other OECD countries accept as the condition for maintaining social equity. In all the major European markets plus Canada, Australia and Japan, the cost of health care is paid for through a mix of employer and employee contributions, dedicated taxes, general revenues, and, most importantly, a value added tax [VAT] on consumer purchases. In most countries, VAT is applied to retail transactions at the staggering rate of nearly 20 per cent. It's a proven revenue raiser for expanded government; experience suggests that if the US wants universal subsidized coverage combined with continued quality care for aging baby boomers on Medicare, it will have to crack this nut, sometime in the next 5 years.
"More competition will be good for our industry." Examine carefully where such competition is applied: experience outside the US shows that competition-based reforms usually focus on the insurance sector, which is then compensated for by stronger government regulation of commoditized purchases like medicines. Countries where "market competition" has been endorsed as a broad reform objective – including the Netherlands and Switzerland – have actually tightened constraints on biopharmaceutical spending as a way to recover "savings" captured by the private sector in insurance. Thus, for some segments of the health care supply chain, more competition leads instead to the opposite.
"We need a process where decisions on access to a new therapy is held separate from politics." This notion is commonly cited as justification for creating a new federal panel to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of alternative health interventions. Yet is this approach necessarily good for patients or industry?
Again, precedents outside the US show that when decisions are taken by "experts" immune to stakeholder pressure, fewer new drugs are made available to patients. In Quebec last year, the pharmaceutical industry hastily reversed its position on a new health technology assessment agency to be run exclusively by appointed bureaucrats after realizing it would lose its leverage as a key investor and job creator to shape actions taken by that body on provincial formulary listings. Politics may be as messy as making sausage but the ingredients are moldable and soft to the touch – not to mention quite tasty for those who can pay to watch.
"No enacted bill on health reform will incorporate costs into the evaluation of new medicines for public reimbursement." Regardless of the wording of the law, this barrier will be breached through application in practice, particularly once FDA and CMS begin cooperating in the collection and assessment of information provided by industry through the clinical trial process.
The history of the UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence [NICE} bears repeating. Endorsed by the industry at its founding in 1999, on the basis of a guarantee that decisions would never incorporate pricing, NICE today is knee deep in what amounts to price negotiations through the euphemistically titled "patient access schemes" that effectively lower prices paid through the NHS to below list.
There is no contest between a piece of paper law and "mission creep:" once the bricks and mortar of a new federal Center for Comparative Effectiveness are in place, all bets are off because of the basic driving instinct of organizational self-preservation, which is to fill empty space with action.
In sum, the road to reform begins with a single step, but keeping pace will require the stamina of a marathoner – and the balance is likely to be off stride. The best advice in following the process internally is to ensure ongoing input from experts outside the US because in policy, the past is prologue.

I applied online. The process took 3+ months – interviewed at Sogeti.Interview Details
I applied to this role on LinkedIn. It was sold to me as a manager/leadership role. I had a great technical phone interview which touched on all aspects of IT security and was done by someone quite knowledgeable in the field. I cleared it and was scheduled to appear for an onsite interview with the hiring manager. I had to take a half day off to attend the same. But all I got was a half hour meeting with the hiring manager. And all he asked was routine technical questions most of which were quite ambiguous. Not at all fit for a manager role at all. No professionalism in the interview process. I came out of the interview feeling that there was no such role or that the role was not a manager role.Interview Questions

I applied through my university's career website and got a call about a week later. I did a phone interview then went into HQ for an interview with the execs.
It was nice to see the execs cared about meeting prospective employees fresh out of college. But the actual interviews with them were revealing. My supposed 'technical interview' was with an executive who had not done programming in years. He asked me to explain what Github was. This is very ironic considering the 5 hours I spent there they preached about adapting to new technologies and challenges.
I didn't get an offer from them but I think it's because I've never programmed in java. I was frankly surprised I got as far as I did considering everything they build is in java.

Zoo History
In its 43 year history, the Louisville Zoo has dedicated itself to the pursuits of education, conservation, scientific study and recreation. Accredited by the American Zoological Association (AZA) in 1980, the "State Zoo of Kentucky" currently exhibits over 1,700 animals in naturalistic and mixed animal settings representing both geographical areas and biomes or habitats. These include: the ISLANDS, the African Veldt, Asian Plains, North and South American Panorama, Aquatics and the Australian Outback. The HerpAquarium features 100 species of reptiles, amphibians and fish from around the world exhibited amidst ecologically balanced habitats. And the 4-acre Gorilla Forest Exhibit features Pygmy hippos and Western lowland gorillas.
And the newly opened Glacier Run provides a truly unique experience where one can visit the animals, talk to the keepers about conservation and become temporarily immersed in life on the tundra. The exhibit recreates the natural habitat for some of the Zoo's most popular residents including polar bears, seals and sea lions. The town of Glacier Run is modeled after Churchill, Canada, the Polar Bear Capital of the world. A spacious amphitheatre makes viewing the seal and sea lion enrichment demonstrations thoroughly enjoyable. Bear training demonstrations also take place throughout the day.
Of special note are the Zoo's achievements in the areas of animal husbandry, conservation and scientific study for which it has drawn international recognition. In 1988, the Louisville Zoo was the proud recipient of the prestigious Edward H. Bean Award for its long-term Woolly Monkey Propagation Program. Other accomplishments include the first successful transfer of an embryo from an exotic equine into a domestic horse.
The Zoo's commitment to working with endangered species, specifically with Species Survival Plan (SSP) programs, speaks of its dedication to conservation efforts. It is also one of six institutions in the world to house a captive breeding population of Black-footed ferrets, North America's most endangered mammal.
The Louisville Zoo is also distinguishing itself in the area of education. The innovative MetaZoo Education Center was the first facility of its kind to serve both as a public exhibit and a living classroom. Open year-round, the MetaZoo's many programs led by degreed instructors and trained personnel are developed to serve the needs of individuals, teachers and students of all ages. And in keeping with the advances of technology, the MetaZoo has begun offering classes via tele-conferencing or distance learning as it is called, to students who live so far from the Zoo that actual visits become impractical.
Conservation, education, scientific study and family fun are all key components of the Zoo's mission of bettering the bond between people and the planet.

Saint Louis coach Rick Majerus had started the same five players every game through Jan. 14, but that doesn't mean he lacks confidence in the guys coming off his bench.
"We've gotten into a nine-man rotation," Majerus said. "Cody Ellis would be considered a starter, but I bring him in off the bench.
"It's trying to get lineups to match, lineups to go against other teams' lineups. And part of it is a fatigue factor. For whatever reason, we don't have players that are capable of playing extended minutes at a great rate."
Only one player, guard Kwamain Mitchell, was playing as much as 30 minutes a game. Forward Brian Conklin, the leading scorer and No. 2 rebounder, was averaging just over 29 minutes an appearance.
No other starter was averaging as many as 25 minutes, and two subs, Ellis and Jordair Jett, are usually on the floor for more than half the game.
"I can probably be held accountable for that somewhat, too," Majerus said. "But we have played with this nine men, and most of the time it has served us well."
Can't argue much with that.
The Billikens were 14-4 through Jan. 14 and were grouped with four others teams at 2-2 in the Atlantic 10 Conference behind one-loss teams Massachusetts, Dayton, Xavier, La Salle and Richmond.

Diesel watch looks blank, but its sides have four faces
What's this, another unreadable TokyoFlash watch? No, this Diesel DZ9044 appears faceless to innocent bystanders, but for the initiated, a furtive peek at the side reveals dual faces for multiple time zones. A look at the opposite edge reveals two more clock faces, for a total of four.
Besides its unusual quartet of clocks letting you keep track of four places at once, this timepiece might be especially handy when you want to secretly glance at the time without anyone detecting your impatience. The stainless steel wristwatch is available in either black or silver, yours for $365.

Hi there.
I'm almost 100% sure this post will make a lot of people mad, but please I'm asking because I need advice.
I have a strange relationship with a married male co-worker. It started off right and has grown over the last three years.
I'm single and have been for a long time. My first boyfriend was abusive emotionally and I haven't been on a date since. I've never had close friends, I work all the time and am very successful at what I do. My growing up life was very cold and I've struggled with depression and anxiety since an incident when I was young. Both my brother and I have immense trouble creating relationships despite wanting to desperately. We are each single and approaching our thirties.
My co-worker is the first person I've let into my life. We started off as great work parterns and slowly opened up to each other. He has a similar background of depression and a rough adult life start and has made a huge impact in my life through relating to that alone. We're good for each other and adore each others company.
Here's the problem.
He's been flirting with me in a very sexual way. At first I thought it was my "one of the guys" vibe, but now it's growing more contstant. In person and over IM. It's all the time. He's married with what seems to be an amazing family life, but still spends at least a half hour each day talking about sex with me.
I'm so scared to tell him it makes me feel horrible about myself. I'm so scared to bring up his wife and kids. Sometimes on IM he'll start going into those sexual conversations when his kids are in the room. I end up making a weird joke to change the subject or if that doesnt work I just pretned I have to go.
I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place. I dont want to lose my only friend, but I dont want to feel like im just some person he can flirt with behind his wife's back. I've been alot after talking to him (I'm in a new town and dont know anyone0) and it makes me feel waves of negativity that involve hurting myself. But he's the only person I talk to about anything outside of work. I havent been able to bring it up in conversation without waves of panic.
Please help. Advice of how to end it...advice on why he's doing it. I'll take anything that will help me make sense.
Like I said, this has been happing over the last 6 months and it's only increasing. We have in no way been romantic and since we no longer work together (i moved 3 months ago for a promotion) we rarely will see each other.
thank you. i know it was a long read.

In-ear headsets are mostly designed the same. same size, same shape. the problem is that with how it sits in your ear, not everyone's ears are the same size or shape and the earpieces either dont fit at all, wont stay in place, or are painful to wear.
the other downside is that you have speaker right there at your ear, and depending on the wiring going into the speaker, it may be hard to understand until you turn up the volume, and then everyone aroudn you hears when the darn call button is pressed.
with an acoustic tube earpiece, a piezo speaker is used which is generally slightly higher pitched, but has smaller size and a higher fequency response range. the sound is transmitted through a vinyl tubing which amplifies it (like blowing in one end of a trumpet) and the sound is then put directly into the ear. a soft silicone 'mushroom' is generally on the end of the tubing, and since the silicone is very thin and flexible, it fits more ear sizes and shapes, and is less irritating to wear. one of the properties of the mushroom shaped earpiece is that it also helps cancel outside noise from getting to the ear with the earpiece in.

The entry into service for the Engine Alliance GP7200 on the
Airbus A380 has been "flawless," according to Engine Alliance
President Jim Moravecek.
"Its performance has been predictable and consistent with the
extensive development and service readiness endurance testing we've
been performing all along," he said, "and we plan to keep on
testing the engine even beyond our entry into service with Air
France next year."
Since entering revenue service on the first Emirates A380
on August 1st, we've experienced no engine related
issues that could have caused a disruption for Emirates," Engine
Alliance Product Support Director Ed Bendernagel said. "The engines
have performed as well, if not better, than we expected,"
Bendernagel said. "But the real story is the fuel efficiency."
Airbus has touted the relative fuel efficiency of its flagship
A380 superjumbo. Engine Alliance adds its GP7200 engine offers the
lowest fuel consumption available on the aircraft. With the rising
cost of fuel, it's an important consideration for airlines.
"Our GP7200 engines will save us
over 500,000 liters of fuel per aircraft per year," Emirates CEO
Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al-Maktoum said at the A380 delivery
ceremony in Hamburg.
In addition to low fuel burn, Emirates mechanics were surprised
to discover their GP7200-powered A380 burns almost no oil. "They
were actually a bit concerned at first," Bendernagel said, "because
this engine just doesn't burn any oil. It's really just a result of
our robust oil system design."
The Engine Alliance GP7200 is derived from two successful
widebody engine programs, the GE90 and the PW4000. The GP7200 is
manufactured at GE and Pratt & Whitney, with GE assembling the
core and Pratt & Whitney manufacturing the fan module, low
pressure compressor and low pressure turbine. Final engine assembly
is conducted at Pratt & Whitney's Engine Center in
Middletown, CT.

NCSL's election experts break down the midterm state legislative elections along voters' verdict on statewide ballot measures.
Current Issue
Medical innovation continues to broaden treatment options for serious illnesses. A number of factors come into play when doctors and patients choose which medicines to use, including their effectiveness, convenience, costs, safety, patient compliance, and insurance coverage.
Debate continues about whether or not to require girls to be vaccinated against Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which causes virtually all cases of cervical cancer and genital warts. State activity stems from the June 2006 recommendation by the national Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) that routine vaccination is recommended for girls between ages 11 and 12.
As new research on cancer prevention and control progresses, Americans continue to celebrate good news in the war against cancer. More information on cancer prevention is available, more cancers are detected early, and more treatment options exist. Over the years, policymakers and health officials have worked diligently to combat the disease through establishing programs and enacting numerous laws.

Peptide Extraction for Protein Profiling
Protein profiling is a novel and potentially powerful approach for improved diagnosis of various diseases. To this end, peptides and proteins are captured from serum (for example) and analyzed by mass spectrometry. Pattern analysis of the generated spectra for the presence or absence of specific peaks (biomarkers) allows classification of individuals even without identification of the relevant biomarkers themselves.
For peptide and protein isolation several techniques are available. A simple and fast technique is solid phase extraction using magnetic beads with a certain functionality (Bruker ClinProt Magnetic Beads). This functionality can be global like C8, or more selective like metal-chelating for the isolation of phosphopeptides, for example. The system offers a flexible, automated, high throughput method for the isolation of peptides and proteins using magnetic beads, and subsequent spotting on a MALDI target plate.
Running this magnetic bead application and MALDI measurements on different days with the same samples gave highly reproducible results, indicating that the extraction procedure and sub-sequent MALDI spotting performed as expected. The total number of samples that can be processed in one run is 192. This number has to be divided by the number of types of beads used and the number of spots per sample on the MALDI target plate to get the actual maximum number of samples. For a higher throughput, a robotic arm is needed to reload the deck and to load the Ultraflex. A further increase in throughput can be achieved by using the 96-channel head on the STAR, while the number of samples will still be limited by the available MALDI-MS capacity. Here, a higher laser frequency (200 Hz) will allow more rapid evaluation.
The method provides clean peptide isolates which can be used for protein profiling with an intermediate throughput. The method combines two processes (peptide isolation and MALDI target spotting) with a high degree of flexibility.
Features and
- Clean peptide isolates for protein profiling
- Highly flexible protocol
- Scalable system that allows increase of throughput when needed
- MICROLAB STAR, 8 channels, autoload
- Magnetic beads separator including controller from Dynal
- Electronically regulated, closed container for MALDI matrix ClinProt Magnetic Beads MB-HIC8, MB-HIC18, MB-IMAC Fe and MB-IMAC Cu from Bruker Daltonik
- ClinProt Magnetic Beads MB-HIC8, MB-HIC18, MB-IMAC Fe and MB-IMAC Cu from Bruker Daltonik

Pru holds on to Pacific markets fund
Prudential plans to retain one unit trust following its raft of mergers into M&G funds.
Pru investment director Andy Brown says the firm will keep the £532m Pacific markets unit trust because of the high cost of transferring the assets.
Pru, which bought M&G in 1999, has been merging its unit trusts into the M&G range. In June, it merged five unit trusts into their M&G counterparts and in August it announced plans to merge another five. Brown says Pru will merge a further 10 unit trusts by mid-2012.
He says all Pru's funds except the Pacific markets trust contain UK assets and because there is no change in beneficial ownership, there is no stamp duty to pay, so the cost of transferring assets is small.
He says: "There are no UK assets in the Pacific markets unit trust and with some Asian taxation authorities, you cannot get dispensation because they see the transfer of assets as a change of ownership so want to charge stamp duty. This cost would be charged to the fund and that is too high a cost for the unitholder."

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

After being turned down Andre 3000 for his debut EP Thank Me Later, it looks as if the Drake will get a verse from Three Stacks on his upcoming sophomore release Take Care,.
In an interview with The Fader, Drake's go-to producer Noah "40" Shebib revealed that Andre called Drake to express interest in collaborating on a track for his upcoming album. Rest of the story below.
The night before, Drake received a call from Andre 3000, who said he wanted to get on the rapper's next LP—and, specifically, on a beat made by 40. The original name of the instrumental was "Good Enough for the Both of Us."
Suddenly they switch to boardroom mode. Drake, 40, and Drake's DJ, Future the Prince, discuss Andre 3000 in frank, mathematical terms: the timbre of his voice, the cadences he prefers. They recall his obscure "Walk it Out" freestyle and the run of features since then, and talk about how their instrumental could be modified to better suit Andre's delivery. A little after three in the morning, Shebib begins the process of protecting Drake from his own niceness. His studio assistant leads me out of the control room, past the atrium where Drake's lone security guard is watching a samurai movie. Out the front door, past a group of young Toronto teenagers hanging by the rear of the building—unaware of what's happening just a few steps away from their home, let alone that it's being done in their honor.
