SAN DIEGO -- Edinson Volquez is starting to put together strong starts for the Padres.
Volquez (1-3) allowed just five singles and struck out three, and Carlos Quentin hit his first home run as San Diego beat Milwaukee 2-1 on Wednesday night, snapping the Brewers' nine-game winning streak."We've seen the good in the year and a month that (Volquez) has been here," Padres manager Bud Black said. "No doubt he struggled in a couple of his five starts this season. I thought he pitched well. Last week in San Francisco (six innings, two runs), this was a carryover and obviously a much better performance."Black noted that this was the fourth time in Volquez's 127 starts that he didn't allow a walk. It also was the first time in seven-plus innings that he didn't walk a batter."I was throwing strikes, no walks today, it was about time," Volquez said, laughing. "It was great. All my pitches were there, my curve was pretty good, my changeup. Everything was there; I can't complain about anything tonight."The victory snapped a five-game skid by the Padres."After losing five games in a row, we stopped the bleeding," Volquez said. "This was a great game tonight, and I got great support early in the game and kept it that way."Quentin, who came off his eight-game suspension Tuesday, hit a shot into the third deck off Brewers starter Marco Estrada with one out in the fourth for the first run of the game. Quentin now has hit a home run against all 29 teams he has faced in his career. The only team he has not hit a home run against is the White Sox, for whom he played but has never faced.It was the seventh home run given up by Estrada (2-1) in five starts. He pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing two runs, walking two and striking out three.Luke Gregerson pitched a scoreless eighth for the Padres, and Huston Street came on in the ninth to get his third save in three opportunities.The save was a bit precarious, as Carlos Gomez and Yuniesky Betancourt had back-to-back doubles to make it a 2-1 game. However, Martin Maldonado was called out for being out of the batter's box when the ball he hit connected with him in fair territory. And that was the final out of the game."The (plate umpire Paul Emmel) said he was out of the box," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "To end the game, you'd better know darn well that he's out of the box. You could see the ball coming off his shoulder as Maldy was taking a step toward first base; he's definitely not out of the box."In addition to his dominant pitching night, Volquez helped produce the Padres' second run in the fifth.Nick Hundley singled with one out, and Volquez layed down a sacrifice bunt. Catcher Jonathan Lucroy threw to first, where second baseman Rickie Weeks was waiting for the out. However, Hundley, after hesitating around second, headed for third base, which was unoccupied. As he was approaching the bag, Weeks rifled the ball across the diamond to moving shortstop Jean Segura, who was also heading for third, but the ball bounced in the dirt and wound up in foul territory in left field and Hundley scored.Game notes
Brewers 3B Aramis Ramirez, who has been on the DL since April 6 with a sprained left knee, was taking batting practice and ground balls Wednesday night, and according to manager Ron Roenicke, "he could be back in the lineup somewhere in the next home stand." ... RHP John Axford could be back in his closer role soon, according to Roenicke. "I think right now we are not going to flip Jim Henderson (current closer) and John (Axford). The way Ax threw (Tuesday), he could win every ballgame he went in. It wouldn't take much for me to flip the two," Roenicke said. "I think Ax with his breaking ball and the way he's been throwing could have that repeat year (46 saves) that he had two years ago."... The Padres' newest pitcher, LH Robbie Erlin, was in the bullpen Wednesday and was looking at hurling in long relief, according to Padres manager Bud Black. Erlin, 22, had his contract selected from Triple-A Tucson.

If you are looking to completely renovate the exterior of your home, there will be a good chance that you will need to work at height.
It could be that you are looking to install a new roof on your home or it could be that you are installing new double-glazing windows.
Either way, regardless of what you are looking to achieve with your exterior renovation, it is essential that you make safety the number one priority, especially when working at height.
Up until a few years ago, it was always the common thought that a good strong ladder and some common sense would enable people to safely work at height, however, as recent incidents such as serious injuries (and even fatalities) have proven, this is not the case and neither should it be moving forward.
Using an Access Platform is the only best way to effectively reduce the risk of injury or death whilst working at height. Access Platform is not just to provide a safe working environment for you, but to provide a safe way to lift heavy materials, equipment and tools, not to mention protect the public who may have to walk past were you are working.
With the above in mind, there are a variety of Access Platforms that have been designed to perform various specific tasks within different types of environment. In this article, we will be discussing the main types of Access Platform and the type of tasks and environments they are used for.
The 'Cherry Picker' (People also call it as a Boom Lift) is the most common of Access Platforms and is the one that is the most universal in its capabilities.
The Cherry Picker consists of a platform or bucket at the end of a hydraulic lifting system which can either be attached to the back of a truck or as part of a stand-alone unit.
The 'bucket' at the end of the lift is controlled by the operator to position it at various heights (in some case over 70ft). Once the bucket is at the correct height, the operator can then safely attach themselves to the bucket with a safety harness and then begin the necessary work.
Excellent uses for a Cherry Lift include roofing, electrical, TV aerials, guttering, windows and Christmas lights.
Scissor Lift:
The Scissor Lift is most ideally suited for low-level tasks (under 20ft) that have a tight working space.
One of the main advantages of a Scissor Lift is that due to their narrow but long platforms, they can usually carry more than 3 people and extra equipment/tools at a time, meaning more resource can be allocated to a specific task without the need to continually raise or lower the lift hence saving time and increasing efficiency.
Excellent uses for a Scissor Lift include painting, decorating, windows and exterior cleaning.
Spider Lift:
The 'Spider Lift' was designed to work in specific environments where other types of access platforms could not operate or were not best suited, for example un-even terrain, exposed terrain or hard to access terrain for traditional access platforms (bridges and country lanes etc).
Excellent uses of the Spider Lift include roofing, electrical, TV aerials, guttering, windows and Christmas lights where the outside ground maybe un-even or delicate like a specialised driveway or lawn.

Nestled on the slopes of the Fort d'Aubervilliers in its wooden theatre, the Théâtre Equestre Zingaro has this year celebrated its 25th anniversary. Indeed, Bartabas' creations and his troupe have been travelling the world and telling their stories for a quarter of century.
From the first equestrian cabarets up to Battuta, not forgetting the wonderful Chimère, Zingaro shows combine equestrian theatre, dance, world music, poetry and many other disciplines: as many invitations to travel and vectors of universal emotions.
After having pounded the ground of his Théâtre Equestre Zingaro for more than a quarter of a century, Bartabas is now tackling the skies with his new show Calacas. There he intends to celebrate with renewed vigour, chasing after the grim reaper and the living dead on horseback. Prepare to enter into the dance of the joyfully macabre, performed under your very eyes and above your head. A twofold wild and furious carnival led to the sound of Chinchineros drums, Mexican brass bands and the barrel organ, with, as always, the presence of horses, the surest psychopompos animal ever to act as escort, steed, messenger and guardian angel.

Retailer Gift Cards Remain the Most Popular Item in Reward Programs
Despite the recession, US consumer participation in Loyalty and Rewards programs is on the increase across all demographic segments.
Employees are apparently leaning on loyalty programs to stretch household budgets further by earning rewards for their purchases. The retail category demonstrates the highest positive impact in reward program attitudes, with 75% of the consumers surveyed reporting a net neutral or positive effect on their program participation as a result of the declining economy.
In a recent survey by Colloquy, nearly half (46.4%) of responding young adults rate retail rewards as "more important" during the recession. This outpaces the general population, at 32.3% for the same category.
Retailer gift cards are the most popular item in Reward Programs. They create excitement around a shopping experience. When a recipient receives a gift card and they can spend it on whatever is important to them, so? the recipient always remembers that the item they bought or came to them from their company.
It's important to build a Gift Card based program around a variety of shopping options so that your program can offer your recipients the opportunity to have a personal buying experience.
When you offer your recipient a personal buying experience, the motivational impact of your program increases exponentially.
By buying gift cards from one-stop sources such as GiftCard Partners, companies can create a highly motivating, financially advantageous, rewards program. The best gift card program should include a selection of retailers that serve both the everyday needs of the recipient as well as those they aspire to. For example, if the recipient has always wanted to shop at Express but has not yet done so, offering an Express Gift Card is a great way to reward them with something that would normally be out of reach.
As companies constantly strive to enhance the positive gift-giving experience, a well-chosen array of gift cards from high quality, convenient merchants can add more clout to any program.

i need my teams elo back we lose game because of lags whole game laged and we lose our game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I looked at your history. It wasn't lag. it was the 17/6/6 Diana. Looking at the forums, you're the only one complaining about lag, therefore it isn't Riots servers. Don't blame them for you being bad.
in my team were my friends and they had lag too our clients disconected and that why you won
i raged quit my last game and uninstalled the game because of the 3 sec delay lag. play league is such a waste of time. it also made my mouse semibroke
Brick Tamland
I'm experiencing a lot of lag too. Team mate got disconnected, two others were lagging hard with me.
i need my teams lost elo back we were wining that hand but we lose because of that lag! (((((((((((
Senior Member
I have been experiencing a lot of lag too even when my upload speed is 2-5mbs and my download 5-7. I don't receive any lag doing anything else. And when I'm not experiencing a lot of lag at least 1-2 of my teammates are. As jungling I've even seen the creeps disappear then reappear, it really started during last weekend's tourny and I thought it would go away afterwards, but it hasn't.
Frost Unit
i have not been getting any lag. Are you sure it is not the area? i mean i live in Australia but receive next to no lag. however, i have also tweaked the graphics setting a bit. if you play bf3, you may know what i am talking about. you may have good connection but it aint the internet. it is the cpu. maybe, the new patch has made league of legends more cpu intensive? try toning down the graphics or similar.

Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center
Rock sills have been used to reform wet meadows drained as a result of stream erosion, brought about by livestock grazing. On Willow Creek in California, grazing had impacted vegetation so severely that gullies 1-2 meters deep had formed through wet meadows and eroded in an upstream direction, changing the moisture regime so that native grasses and other meadow plants could no longer survive (Clay 1984). With loss of vegetative cover, erosion was accelerated and eventually the entire area was converted to bare ground or brush. Slots cut across the channel formed large rock sills that allowed deposition to fill the channel upstream from each sill to its crest, raising the channel bottom and thus the water table. The sides of the channel developed a gentle slope, which allowed wet grasses and shrubs to become established.
In urban areas, stream restoration is an alternative to conventional channelization involving stream straightening and deepening with heavily riprapped banks. On Briar Creek in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, a channelized stream was restored by removing brush, debris, and dead trees that blocked water flow; sloping banks to less than vertical inclination; sloping meander bends to produce sandbars; seeding banks; and sparingly using riprap along highly erosive slopes (Keller and Hoffman 1976). The result was an esthetically pleasing urban stream with greater wildlife habitat potential and lower flood hazard.
On a relocated section of the South Fork of the Yuba River in California, efforts were made to provide fish habitat by: (1) correcting the ditchlike appearance by meandering the stream as much as possible within the limited area available, (2) sloping and stabilizing stream banks to prevent additional silt from entering the stream, (3) removing silt from the stream channel to provide food-producing and spawning areas for fish, (4) providing shelter for fish, and (5) providing streamside vegetation (Warner 1965). A tree-planting operation improved the appearance of the streambank and provided shade for both fish and anglers.
The need to relocate streams in surface-mined areas is quite common due to the great expanses of land that mines encompass. To better understand how to ensure proper aquatic habitat restoration in mine locations, fish and invertebrate populations were studied at three stream relocation sites: Pipestone Creek, Perry County, Illinois; Otter Creek, Fulton County, Illinois; and Honey Creek, Clay and Vigo Counties, Indiana (Thompson 1984).
Few habitat improvement techniques were used on Otter Creek, although some shale and small gravel was available within the new streambed for habitat development to occur. After 6.5 years, Otter Creek was not comparable in most aspects to the natural channel and appeared to be more sensitive to natural perturbations, such as flooding and drought conditions, than the other relocations.
The Honey Creek site had the most extensive habitat treatment, including creation of meanders, large pools, and riffles, and the installation of wing deflectors, log structures, and random placement of boulders. No extensive riparian tree zones existed along the sites, but they were at least partially shaded and had up to 100% cover. Of the three sites, Honey Creek developed the greatest amount of habitat diversity and showed the most habitat stability resulting in the closest match in species composition of fish and invertebrates with higher quality natural channels.
Traditional habitat reconstruction techniques appear to work well in stream relocations in surface-mined land, but the type and quantity to be included should be based on premine conditions and the anticipated postmine location. In addition, habitat replacement should be tied closely with proper stream channel design and erosion control. Based on results of Thompson's (1984) study, it appears that streams can be relocated and recover to premine conditions if all major habitat components are restored. This is accomplished primarily through proper preplanning and implementation.
Tributaries of the South Prong Alafia River in the phosphate mine district of west-central Florida were reclaimed by creation of ponds and marshes within the stream. Other techniques included transplanting topsoil and planting various woody and herbaceous plants (Robertson et al. 1987). Aquatic invertebrate data from the first several years after reclamation indicated that richness of stream systems reclaimed with marshy areas exceeded that of undisturbed streams, but richness of reclaimed lotic sections matched that of similar undisturbed streams.
Creation of ponds in a stream also was used in the Beaver Creek Relocation Project near Avon, Colorado (Tupa et al. 1988). A segment of the creek was relocated to facilitate construction of a ski lodge. Problems associated with pond construction included minor sedimentation. Detailed manipulation of pond flow characteristics had to be adjusted to ensure that the majority of stream sediment stayed in the channel and did not fill the ponds.
Restoration of a section of the Blue River near Breckenridge, Colorado, involved nearly complete restructuring of the channel (Roesser 1988). The area had been heavily gold-mined from the late 1800's through 1942. Rock and cobble piles reached 30 feet above old channel grades, and most of the river flowed beneath and through the piles. Restoration consisted mainly of removing rocks and cobbles, recontouring the channel, and revegetation. Drop structures were used to create a stable channel. Although considered highly experimental, these techniques appear to be successfully restoring the channel's stability.
In areas of the Mississippi Delta, shallow impoundments have been created to supply soil moisture to bottomland hardwoods that have experienced considerable dieback and mortality due to drought in the 1950's (Broadfoot 1967). Average increase of radial growth was about 50% for all species of hardwoods impounded on an experimental area near Greenville, Mississippi, and subjected to various flooding regimes. Oxygen supply could potentially be a problem in using this technique. However, most artificial impoundments are charged either by rainfall or ground wells within the forest and are relatively free of sediment.

Evaluation and Assessment SurveY (EASY) Tool
Evaluation and Assessment SurveY (EASY) is a computer-based assessment tool written and maintained by ECS staff. In the college it is used instead of the paper-based ACE surveys and to survey graduating students. It can also be used to create surveys targeting a specific engineering audience. Write if you want an EASY survey created for a course or other engineering audience.
EASY questions can be single choice from a defined list of choices or free form comments; questions and answers can be created and stored for use and reuse. Once created a survey can be used multiple times each semester or for multiple semesters. When designing a survey, you can run it in test mode. The resulting survey runs in a web broswer. The reporting and analysis tool available to instructors also runs in a web browser. Read more detailed information about EASY surveys.
eACE Surveys
eACE are automatically set up at mid-term for first-time faculty instructors and at end of session (EOS) for all faculty instructors. Teaching assistants are evaluated using paper ACE as prepared by departmental offices. eACE surveys are not set up for seminars or for any courses with 5 or fewer students, though seminar instructors may request an eACE survey. By default these questions (21K) appear on each eACE survey. Instructors can request custom questions or questions from UI Evaluation and Examination Service ACE question pool.
Mid-term surveys run during mid-term week; EOS surveys are sent in the 13th week of the semester. Each is available for 10 days beginning Friday and ending at midnight the next Sunday. Once a survey is available, instructions (sample 4K) on using the survey are automatically emailed to the @uiowa.edu alias of each student in the class. Reminder email is sent on the first day, 6 days later (Thursday) and on the last day, to students who have not yet taken the survey.
Instructors should advertise the Take a Survey link during class or on ICON.

The three different types of blues are just gorgeous, and the gold background gives a really warm feeling. It would look so nice with some gold Swarovski pearls or some dark sapphire Swarovski bicones. 1 person found this review helpful Click here to review this product (Reviews are subject to approval) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

For several years I have been leading Londoners on arcane historical pub crawls, performing texts by others which convey a strong sense of place. Align gives me the opportunity to tell some stories in my own words, and go deeper into some intriguing themes: of ancient continuities; and of that subconscious relationship we have with our cities, which some have named psychogeography.
At the same time I tell a story which is about the countryside, and concerns the curious concept of ley lines. Some have dismissed these as fantastical. Others have embellished them with further mysteries. We want to immerse you in words and images, and the mesmerising soundtrack that Rich has sewn together.

Treatments to destroy cancer cells can harm healthy cells at the same time, which means treatment can cause side effects.
Side effects for penile cancer affect each man differently. You may have no side effects, while other men may have many. Some side effects may change over time, while others stay the same. Some may be temporary, while others may be permanent.
When side effects occur, they can interfere with your day-to-day life. Some side effects may make other symptoms feel worse. For example, if you're depressed or not sleeping well, you may be tired. When you are more tired, your pain may feel worse. Getting relief from one side effect may help others.
To help you feel your best during treatment, you'll want to take these steps.
Learn how to talk with your healthcare team about how you are feeling.
Seek support from family and friends as well as associations.
Ask your healthcare team for tips on how to cope with the most common side effects of treatment for penile cancer.

p53 Ubiquitination and Proteasomal Degradation
- Ian M. Love,
- Dingding Shi,
- Steven R. Grossman
- … show all 3 hide
p53 levels and activity are controlled in large part through regulated ubiquitination and subsequent destruction by the 26S proteasome. Monoubiquitination of p53 is mediated primarily by the RING-finger E3 ubiquitin ligase MDM2 and impacts p53 activity through modulation of p53 localization and transcription activities. Recently, several E4 ubiquitin ligases (E4s) have been identified which serve to extend these monoubiquitin chains. The ubiquitin ligase activity of these factors toward p53, and their contribution to p53 degradation, can be studied using a variety of in vitro and in vivo methods and reagents which will be described in this chapter. These methods include in vivo ubiquitination of p53 using HA-ubiquitin or his-ubiquitin; the in vitro E3 ubiquitin ligase assay, in which ubiquitin reaction components (URC) are incubated with a purified E3 or E4 ligase; a one-step E4 assay, in which URC are incubated with a substrate, E3, and E4; and a two-step E4 assay in which p53 is monoubiquitinated in an E3 reaction, and subsequently purified and incubated with an E4. Finally, we will describe an in vitro degradation assay in which ubiquitinated p53 is incubated with purified 26S proteasomes. Together, these assays can be used to provide insight into the biochemical nature of p53 ubiquitination and degradation.

I can only repeat what the other posters said: Wonderful! What a beautiful and well-considered image. What a stunning idea! so many things expressed in this one picture!
I just saw your work this morning and wanted to say, that your work is inspiring. If you have a moment check out my profile. Have a good day!
I just got this for my iPhone 5 case, and to me when you move the case counter-clock-wise and back it looks like the birds are seperating and getting closer together. The rain looks like it seperates. I show some people and some see it, but then others thing I'm crazy. Can someone try this out too!!
Lovely! Might I ask if the silhouette of a face donning a headdress at the top of the image is by chance or deliberate?
This is one of the best pieces of artwork that I have seen lately, very surrealistic... Great for hanging on the wall :)
so surrealistic. totally agree. for some reason it brings sharp depressive feel to me, but that's how i know this is amazing. i love it!!!!
this is so great. my favorite. can you add tanks to the various ways it can be printed? this would make a sick t.

The genome is extensively transcribed into long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs), many of which are implicated in gene silencing. Potential roles of lincRNAs in gene activation are much less understood. Development and homeostasis require coordinate regulation of neighbouring genes through a process termed locus control. Some locus control elements and enhancers transcribe lincRNAs, hinting at possible roles in long-range control. In vertebrates, 39 Hox genes, encoding homeodomain transcription factors critical for positional identity, are clustered in four chromosomal loci; the Hox genes are expressed in nested anterior-posterior and proximal-distal patterns colinear with their genomic position from 3' to 5'of the cluster. Here we identify HOTTIP, a lincRNA transcribed from the 5' tip of the HOXA locus that coordinates the activation of several 5' HOXA genes in vivo. Chromosomal looping brings HOTTIP into close proximity to its target genes. HOTTIP RNA binds the adaptor protein WDR5 directly and targets WDR5/MLL complexes across HOXA, driving histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation and gene transcription. Induced proximity is necessary and sufficient for HOTTIP RNA activation of its target genes. Thus, by serving as key intermediates that transmit information from higher order chromosomal looping into chromatin modifications, lincRNAs may organize chromatin domains to coordinate long-range gene activation.

Thanks for the work you're doing on pronunciations. I've reinstated and fixed the SAMPA at intermittent - where the pronunciation includes an = sign you need to prefix it with 1= (or 2= for a second pronunciation, etc), i.e. {{SAMPA|1=/%Int3:(r)"mItn=t/}}. This is because in template syntax everything between a | and = is treated as the name of a parameter. If there is no equals signs, it parses the parameters in the specified order, the 1= is therefore telling it to parse everything up to | or }} (whichever comes first) as the content of the first parameter, rather than treating t/ as the content of an undefined parameter named /%Int3:(r)"mItn. (compare {{quote-book}}

I've never heard photo pronounced /foʊtoʊ/ stateside. Did you mean perhaps /foʊɾoʊ/[[Category:IPA pronunciations with invalid IPA characters|[[]]]]?—msh210℠ 19:52, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I'm currently reading the recent vote on phonemic/phonetic transcription of [ɹ] for English words, and trying to decide how best to transcribe things like photo in light of that. Because you're right that [ˈfoʊɾoʊ] would be the correct phonetic transcription (you'd have to be real stodgy to say [ˈfoʊtoʊ]), I was shooting for a phonemic transcription. It's just questionable how far to take that, because to be purely phonemic, it would be unnecessary to distinguish between RP and US pronunciations in a lot of cases (including photo). Torgo 22:03, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- I think the best rule of thumb for pronunciations is to do the most precise transcription which would apply to the majority of American speakers. If I'm not mistaken, using the flap instead of the full stop would apply to most American speakers (and I would assume the Brits as well), and should thus be used. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 22:10, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Probably not the Brits, in this case. While I like that idea, it still doesn't solve the phonemic/phonetic transcription problem. Currently, almost all the pronunciations I've run into are enclosed in slashes, implying a phonemic transcription. But I don't think we want a true phonemic transcription. At least, the Wiktionary:Pronunciation page isn't too clear on what should/shouldn't be used, and after reading that [ɹ] vs. [r] vote, doesn't seem like the community is either. I guess I'll change photo, but this needs to get cleared up a bit. Torgo 22:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

The Anatomy of an Awful Marketing Email
How often do you think about junk mail? Probably not too often, because there's a folder in your email that thinks about it for you, right?
But consider this: according to Return Path, marketing emails are responsible for 70% of 'this is spam' complaints. That means even if you don't think about junk mail as a recipient, as a marketer, you should all be thinking about it all the time -- specifically, whether your own marketing emails are part of that 70%.
So what if we just ...

El Paso, TX — New UTEP softball head coach Tobin Echo-Hawk completed her coaching staff by naming Josh Johnson as an assistant on Tuesday.
Johnson will serve as the pitching coach.
"He comes in with a lot of experience and he worked with a really great team last year," Echo-Hawk said. "Him having that experience will only add to our staff. Not to mention he has the playing background to back it up; so when you do something, you have a better idea how to teach it. He's going to make a tremendous impact on our pitchers."
Previously, Johnson served on the coaching staff at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette during the 2013 season. He headed the pitchers for a Ragin' Cajuns squad that advanced to the Ann Arbor NCAA Super Regionals after winning the Baton Rouge NCAA Regional. His pitchers increased strikeouts by 122 from the previous year, including Jordan Wallace who finished third in the nation with 382 Ks.
"This is a great experience and a great time for me and the staff to create a new culture," Johnson said. "I'm super excited to work with coach Tobin and coach Cristina (Cobb-Adams) as they've had great success and I hope I can bring a lot to the table from my own side. What's exciting is this is an opportunity and a renewal and hopefully we'll get it done on the pitching side of things and every side of things."
The 2000 graduate of University of Wisconsin-Stout was a four-year letter winner in baseball and named first team All-Conference at third base during the 1998 season. Johnson has played fast pitch softball since 1995 and currently pitches and plays outfield for the United States Men's National Team. He was named to the NAFA All-World Team 16 times and was a 2013 NAFA Hall of Fame inductee.
The native of Oregon, Wis. received a Master of Science in Applied Psychology from Wisconsin-Stout. Johnson also served as head coach for Faulkner State Community College during the 2010-12 seasons and compiled a 119-60 overall record (most wins in school history).

Cazorla symbol of Arsenal's ambition
Santi Cazorla is a typical signing, and yet an atypical signing. There's nothing unusual about Arsene Wenger purchasing a creative attacking midfielder who specializes in linking play, and yet it's a big surprise to see the manager spending so much money. Cazorla was purchased for around 16 million pounds, Arsenal's record transfer fee.
Remarkably, in a transfer window in which Arsenal still appears likely to lose its best player, Robin van Persie, this has been Wenger's most productive summer in years. With Olivier Giroud, Lukas Podolski and Cazorla arriving, he's recruited three established international players (all three competed in Euro 2012) who offer different qualities. Giroud provides physicality and clever hold-up play, Podolski is about speed and directness and Cazorla specializes in clever, inventive playmaking from between the lines. The loss of van Persie would be a huge blow, but Wenger won't need to hunt for a direct replacement as he's completely reformatted the attacking department of his side. The Arsenal of 2012-13 will look completely different from the Arsenal of 2011-12.
Last season's Arsenal had no true playmaker, no consistent creator of chances. Wenger didn't want to lose both Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri in the same summer. "Imagine the worst situation -- we lose Fabregas and Nasri," he said one year ago. "You cannot convince people you are ambitious after that." He was shocked when Nasri decamped to Manchester City, and had no alternative plan. Mikel Arteta and Yossi Benayoun both arrived on the final day of the transfer window, and while Arteta played excellently throughout the season from deep in midfield, and Benayoun made some key contributions, neither was quite the player Wenger needed.
Furthermore, Jack Wilshere missed the entire campaign, Aaron Ramsey was exhausted by Christmas and Andrei Arshavin was widely out of form and eventually left the club on loan. Arsenal was an extremely basic side, predictable in its approach play and too dependent upon van Persie. It was close to a one-man team, the antithesis of Wenger's approach to football, which is based around collectivism and cohesion. The Gunners needed more sophistication on the ball.
Cazorla appears the perfect solution. His balance is wonderful, his appreciation of space and angles similar to that of fellow Spaniards Juan Mata and David Silva. Like those two, he made his name drifting infield from a wide position, but appears likely to play a central role for Arsenal -- with two central midfielders behind him, two quick wingers on either side, and a center forward to bring into play. He'll be the one providing the final pass, the incisive balls, but he'll also drop deep and become involved in buildup play.
He made his name at Villarreal, often playing in the same side as ex-Arsenal hero Robert Pires. At its best, Villarreal was often the most attractive side in La Liga, offering tremendous movement and flexibility in combination with a short passing game. After a short spell at Recreativo, where he first appeared to be a genuinely excellent footballer, Cazorla took over for Juan Roman Riquelme as Villarreal's chief playmaker. His 2010-11 campaign was probably his best to date, leading Villarreal to fourth place. Upon making a big-money move to Malaga last summer, Villarreal dropped from fourth to 18th, Malaga rose from 11th to fourth.
Cazorla is a physically unremarkable footballer. Even in the age of Barcelona's 5-foot-7 stars such as Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta, Cazorla's 5-foot-6 stature is highly unusual for a top footballer. And whereas many short players compensate with a great deal of pace, Cazorla isn't particularly quick over long distances. Perhaps that was a barrier to success when he first emerged -- young attacking players are naturally expected to be quick and athletic, but Cazorla never was.
He is now 27, and still waiting to prove himself in the Champions League, having turned down a move to Real Madrid in 2008, saying he wasn't yet ready. Now, he was so keen to join Arsenal because, in his words, it was "the last train I could catch" to make the move to a big club. Interestingly, the average age of Arsenal's past 10 signings, including loans, is now 27.2, considerably higher than in recent years.
Cazorla's purchase has symbolic value in addition to his on-pitch qualities. After Nasri's departure left Arsenal looking like it lacked ambition (by Wenger's definition) and van Persie decided not to renew his contract because he disagreed with how the club was moving forward, this is a statement of intent. It's difficult to remember the last time Arsenal bought such a star player, someone who could get the fans excited ahead of the new campaign. Even the likes of Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Pires were signed after they encountered difficulties at their previous clubs, while Cazorla arrives on the back of an excellent campaign at Malaga.

Still, he's not a guaranteed success. He must adapt to the physicality of the Premier League, and needs to cope with the lack of a winter break, something both Mata and Silva struggled with last season, dipping in form significantly after Christmas. For all his great ability and his international honors, Cazorla has yet to win anything at club level, and has enjoyed only one proper season of Champions League football with Villarreal -- when it was eventually eliminated by Arsenal in 2008-09, with Cazorla missing both legs through injury. Besides, it's relatively easy to be highly rated with a popular small club such as Villarreal -- and even Malaga -- that had never finished in the top four before last season.
Now, appropriately for Arsenal's smallest player, Cazorla will be under the microscope like never before, but he possesses both the talent and professionalism to prove himself as a world-class performer.

The process for getting more Twitter followers is similar to that for getting more Facebook fans but with several differences. There's more of a requirement for good quality content in order to attract followers on Twitter than there is for Facebook.
- Getting exposure and encouraging profile visits
- On Twitter
- Outside of Twitter
- Turning visitors into followers
Getting Exposure & Encouraging Profile Visits
On Twitter
- Post interesting and unique insights, info, links etc. to encourage your existing followers to retweet and reply which will appear in their stream and be seen by their followers. Here are some tips:
- Post on topic 80% of the time
- Occasionally post something way off topic (Chris Brogan)
- Leave room after your tweets for people to retweet and add a comment
- Tweet interesting and relevant blog posts of lesser known authors
- "Lay off the narcissism" – don't always tweet about yourself
- "Don't be a Debbie Downer" – keep negative posts to a minimum
- Include more retweetable words
- Time and day matter – tweet at times when you are more likely to be retweeted (see the link)
- Reply (@) to other people's posts with useful and relevant info
- Fill out your bio and location so you can be found in Twitter search
- Search Twitter for people talking about your topic and join the conversation
- Look for interesting weekly chats (#) and trending topics to become a part of
- Consider hosting a chat on Twitter yourself (Chris Brogan)
- Follow people – by default, users get an email when someone follows them and they'll probably click through to your profile to check you out. You can use a tool such as Manage Flitter to unfollow people you don't follow you back.
Outside of Twitter
- Promote your Twitter account through your other web properties; website, blog, newsletter, RSS, other social media accounts, email signatures, forum profiles and signatures
- Promote your Twitter account offline with flyers, QR codes and signs in-store
- Include buttons on your website
- Twitter stream
- Follow button
Turning Visitors into Followers
- Get retweeted by influential people (see tips above)
- Fill out your profile well
- Use an avatar of your face, not a logo, preferably with a smile
- Make your bio succinct and informative
- Include a city in your location
- Customise your background and make it interesting
- Identify yourself authoritatively

Biodiesel Stations Open in New England
New Hampshire's first biodiesel pump has opened to the public. World Energy Alternatives will supply the biodiesel to Fleming's Shell Convenience Store, located at 99B Route 9 in West Chesterfield, New Hampshire. Fleming's will sell B20, or a 20% blend of biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel.
"For the end user, biodiesel has more than just emissions benefits, including the fact that it has higher lubricity than standard petroleum diesel," said Rick Fleming, president of Fleming Oil. "These biodiesel benefits can be a product differentiator for retailers, helping to drive more business through the door."
In December, Maine also welcomed a new pump that offers blended biodiesel to the public. The B20 pump is located at frontier village market on Route 3 in South China, Maine. The biodiesel will be provided by Frontier Energy, the only full-service supplier of 100% and blended biofuels and biolubricants in the state, according to the company. Vice President Joel Glatz says biodiesel is poised to become an integral part of Maine's transportation system.
