(KMOV) -- MoDOT is warning drivers about work zone safety as the transition into highway construction season begins.
Work Zone Awareness Week begins as MoDOT has many Interstate 64 construction plans.
According to MoDOT officials, one third of all work zone crashes are due to speeding. Slowing down and moving over for highway workers is required under state law.
"The bottom line is you need to slow down," said Greg Horn of MoDOT. "Help us through the work zone. We want our workers safe. We want the traveling motorists safe also."
MoDOT posts construction warnings on message boards overhead and to the side of roads.

The 'Girls Gone Wild' mastermind says Reese should learn how celebrities operate these days!
Reese Witherspoon not-so-subtly called out Blake Lively at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards for her leaked naked photos, as well as calling upon actresses everywhere to respect their bodies and not be sleazy like reality TV stars. But Girs Gone Wild creator Joe Francis says she's dead wrong — sexy pics and trashy television are the new celebrity!
Joe, 38, says Reese, 35, doesn't understand what it's like to be a newcomer on the scene looking for fame, and comments such as hers are "showing her age," Naughty but Nice Rob Shuter reports.
"I just think that Reese needs to rethink what she said," he says. "She said this on MTV, a network that has Jersey Shore, 16 and Pregnant…there's nothing on the network that isn't reality television."
What do you think, HollywoodLifers — was Reese keeping it classy or does she just not understand kids these days?

Joe Francis is a evil misogynist pig who has become rich from exploiting young women. He has a violent explosive uncontrollable temper which he regularily unleashes on those in his path. Watch Bravo's Millionaire Decorator's last episode to get a sample of his sociopathic temper towards his employees. VILE VILE man — no one should listen to a word out of his mouth.
Posted at 11:23 PM on June 18, 2011
um….why is joe francis' opinion even acknowledged, he's been known for violence against women, including a female journalist who was sent to follow him around for a story for the NYT. He's a disgusting pig who should be in jail, and if anything, he only makes REese look better for being on the other side of the argument.

Overall Experience
Nice Stay
March 03, 2015
The room was clean and warm . The sheets were comfortable and soft and there was virtually no noise while trying to sleep.
These are good things for any room, however personally I require a certain amount of background noise and a nearly cold environment to sleep in. But thanks to the high speed and reliable internet connection I was able to stream Pandora for the background noise and setting the temperature to a nice cool 65 degrees was simple. these two things made for a very nice enjoyable stay. My Thanks to the staff and management of Candlewood Suites
My only complaint would be the driers in the free guest laundry are terribly slow and there were others waiting ahead of me to use them. However the room came with enough hangers in the closet to accommodate me hanging my clothes up overnight so I will not let even this small drawback reduce the overall score of this hotel.
Nice Accommodations

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Keion Bell scored 24 points and Earnest Ross added 23, both season highs, as 17th ranked Missouri used another strong second half to beat Auburn 91-77 yesterday. Ross hit five 3-pointers off the bench in his first game against his former team. The 6-foot-5, 222-pound guard played two seasons at Auburn.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Markel Brown scored 28 points, Marcus Smart added 25 and Oklahoma State upset Number 2 Kansas 85-80 on Saturday, ending the Jayhawks' nation-leading 18-game winning streak. Ben McLemore had 23 points to lead the Jayhawks, who also saw their 33-game home winning streak come to an end.
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Angel Rodriguez hit two free throws with 5.6 seconds remaining to give 18th ranked Kansas State a 52-50 victory at Oklahoma last night. Will Spradling led the Wildcats in Norman with 12 points.
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Anthony James scored 16 points and Northern Iowa beat 15th-ranked Wichita State 57-52 yesterday, handing the Shockers their first losing streak of the season. The Shockers pulled within 52-50 on Carl Hall's steal and bucket with 1:18 left. But Northern Iowa's Seth Tuttle blocked a Nick Wiggins try that would have tied it and then sealed the win with a breakaway dunk in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

It is important to keep your gutters clean on a regular basis as they are a vital part of a buildings waterproofing and weatherproofing system.

To prevent this from happening the gutters will need to be cleaned regularly and this is where we can offer our expert gutter cleaning services.
We only use the best possible gutter cleaning equipment to make sure that each gutter is cleared of all debris such as moss and leaves to allow water to drain away correctly. If we find any leaks in the guttering then we will seal them up to ensure that the gutter will be fully operational. For standard single or two storey properties then we will clean the gutters using traditional cleaning equipment. For higher buildings then we will use specialist cleaning equipment to reach up from the ground eliminating the need for scaffolding or cherry pickers.

Sign up for Potential at Work and gain access to exclusive insights for managing data as your #1 corporate asset.
A steady stream of real-time data is pouring into your organization: clickstreams from web servers, application and infrastructure log data, and information from sensors or agents placed on devices and machines comprising the "Internet of Things." You can transform this torrent of small messages and events into unprecedented business agility and responsiveness, but only if you can gather and analyze it immediately.
Informatica Vibe Data Stream for Machine Data (VDS) helps you manage many small pieces of data as they flow in at high rates and accumulate quickly into large volumes. Vibe Data Stream is purpose-built for efficiently collecting all forms of streaming data and delivering it directly to both real-time and batch processing technologies — so you can analyze and act on it while it's still fresh and relevant.
Traditional file-based, batch-oriented collection architectures are not well-suited for streaming data since, among other things, they don't support real-time transmission, require careful management, don't scale easily, and create multiple copies of data. Open-source alternatives are equally inadequate—they often require high levels of software development expertise and are limited in their ability to scale for enterprise-grade volumes, speeds, and variances of real-time data.
A distributed, scalable system, Vibe Data Stream uses Informatica's proven high-performance brokerless messaging technology to greatly simplify streaming data collection. Features include:
Out-of-the-box source and target agents collect and distribute streaming data through the high-performance message bus. The embeddable agents on sources collect data in real-time and stream millions of records per second into big data platform targets such as Hadoop and Cassandra. Vibe Data Stream also streams data directly into Informatica PowerCenter Real Time Edition, Informatica RulePoint (CEP), and Storm to enable event processing and operational intelligence in real time.
Informatica Vibe Data Stream provides streaming data collection for real-time Big Data analytics, operational intelligence, and traditional enterprise data warehousing. Based on Informatica's established high-performance messaging technology, Vibe Data Stream is enterprise-class software that makes once resource-intensive technology affordable and easy to configure and use.
Built on the industry's fastest and highest-performing brokerless messaging technology, Vibe Data Stream uses a publish/subscribe model that delivers data directly from source to target based on message topics of interest, with no intermediate data staging. It leverages the underlying network to perform functions normally assigned to a broker, and can collect and deliver streaming data locally or globally over LAN and WAN. Vibe Data Stream streams data with reliable quality of service that ensures delivery as long as both source and target are up and running. For guaranteed level of service, Vibe Data Stream includes the option of adding persistent data stores in parallel to the data stream. These save data and deliver it to failed targets when they return online, with no degradation of performance.
Informatica Vibe Data Stream gathers streaming data from sources and delivers it to targets across the enterprise.
Vibe Data Stream includes lightweight agents that provide out-of-the-box support for a wide and growing number of streaming data sources and targets. These agents minimize the need to develop source and target adapters internally, speeding the process of integrating streaming data into processing environments. The agents are automatically deployed based on a user-defined topology configuration and directly connected via the high-performance message bus. This allows Vibe Data Stream to avoid data staging, moving data instead with simple one-hop flows from sources to targets. At the source, agents read and dispatch data even as it is logged to a file. At the target, agents receive and write that data to the appropriate processing environments.
Informatica also provides an open SDK for customers who want to develop their own agents.
A centralized GUI simplifies setup, deployment and monitoring, allowing users to specify the entire system topology configuration and auto-deploy agents to begin operations.
Vibe Data Stream uses the Informatica Administrator Console as a centralized interface for simplified configuration, deployment, administration and monitoring. A single console allows users to create flexible configurations and visual mappings for multiple source-to-target patterns; auto-generate configurations for messaging, source agents, and target agents; automate deployment; and load balance message delivery across targets to minimize impact on performance. It also provides a central point for monitoring ongoing operations and performing administrative functions like controlling agents or managing logs. This single interface facilitates ease of use, provides a complete view of the Vibe Data Stream environment, and makes it easier to add new streaming data sources or processing targets quickly.
Vibe Data Stream is designed for high availability, with brokerless messaging architecture for fewer potential points of failure, automated failover configuration on commodity hardware with no need for a shared file system, and guaranteed data delivery using the solution's parallel persistence capability. Increasing horizontal and vertical scalability is as easy as deploying more data collection or data delivery agents and assigning them to appropriate data topics. And because sources and targets can be connected in any pattern that suits business and analytical needs —one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many — the architecture can flex easily with changing business requirements.

Lexie Fyfe vs. Daffney
This would mark the official in-ring debut of Daffney Unger in a SHIMMER ring. She was subbing for Portia Perez, who was taken out of action with a broken hand. I love Daffney, and so do the rest of the SHIMMER fans. Before the match, Daffney called Lexie a "dinosaur," and did her best impression of a T-Rex walking around the ring. Daffney has no choice but to use comedy and psychology against her more experienced opponent.

In 1992, the Union of Concerned Scientists issued the World Scientists Warning to Humanity. It began: "Human beings and the natural world are on a collision course. Human activities inflict harsh and often irreversible damage on the environment and on critical resources. If not checked, many of our current practices put at serious risk the future that we wish for human society and the plant and animal kingdoms, and may so alter the living world that it will be unable to sustain life in the manner that we know. Fundamental changes are urgent if we are to avoid the collision our present course will bring about".
This warming was endorsed by over 1,700 of the leading scientists in the world. Eight years later, in 2000, the Johns Hopkins University School of Health, Public Information reported in Population and the environment: The global challenge, that As the century begins, natural resources are under increasing pressure, threatening public health and development...In the past decade in every environmental sector, conditions have either failed to improve, or they are worsening.
In 2005, 1,360 experts from 95 countries completed the most comprehensive assessment of ecosystem health ever attempted. The Secretary General of the United Nations called for the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment . A panel of 80 additional experts reviewed the comments from nearly 900 other experts and government representatives before the assessment was published. Among the findings were the observations that
- Over the past 50 years, humans have changed ecosystems more rapidly and extensively than in any comparable period of time in human history;
- The changes that have been made to ecosystems have contributed to substantial net gains in human well-being and economic development, but these gains have been achieved at growing costs in the form of the degradation of many ecosystem services;
- The degradation of ecosystem services could grow significantly worse during the first half of this century; and
- The challenge of reversing the degradation of ecosystems while meeting increasing demands for their services can be partially met but [will] involve significant changes in policies, institutions and practices, that are not currently under way.
In her influential book, Earth Wisdom, the late Delores LaChapelle asked, "How did we reach such a state of insanity? [Where ecologically unsustainable behaviors predominate; where the ability of Earth to sustain life is questioned.] Can we honestly believe that the human being, a product of [4.5] billion years of evolution, came into the world totally cut off from the entire process?"
In Ecological literacy: Education and transition to a postmodern world, David Orr may have provided an answer when he wrote, "Nearly all discussions about the transition to a sustainable society have to do with what governments, corporations, and individuals must do. But one thing that these have in common are people who were educated in public schools, colleges, and universities. We may infer from the mismanagement of the environment throughout the century that most emerged from their association with these various educational institutions as ecological illiterates, with little knowledge of how their subsequent actions would disrupt the Earth...the ecological crisis represents, in large measure, a failure of education".

University of Utah Purchases 40-Foot Electric Bus from BYD
The University of Utah has placed an order for a 40-foot, all-electric transit bus with BYD Company Limited (BYD), which will be the first shuttle to be allowed to run across the heart of campus.
The bus will be retrofitted with a WAVE wireless charging pad under the bus, developed by the Utah State University Energy Dynamics Laboratory, a provider of wireless power transfer for vehicles. This technology will allow the BYD electric buses to pull up over an embedded charger in the asphalt with a maximum of 10 inches clearance and "opportunity charge" the waiting bus with no moving parts or unsightly wires required. The embedded charge pads measure about three feet square and pose no danger to the public, according to BYD.

I was told over the phone today that I am dropped from the nursing program at Lincoln college of technology because my juvenile record. I have been in school for a year and was due to graduate march 28th. Only 2 more months :,( I was told the Ohio board of nursing won't grant meli licensurline anyway so there's no point in Lincoln college allowing me to complete their LPN program. The Ohio board of nursing site states that they grant licensure to whom they choose & judge records individually. I was also told I falsified college documents by stating on my application that I was never convicted of a crime, but I didn't think.my juvenile record counted. It's over 8 yrs old. I was pulled from class yesterday & asked to leave premises until I provided documentation of what's on my record. I went to juvenile court & brought the paperwork b.ck to the program manager. I was instructed that everything Is ok & I'm clear to return to class & clinicals. I went back to class. This morning I had on my backpack leaving out the door. My phone rang . It was the nursing program manager informing me I'm dropped. I feel lost . Time wasted . Sad. I don't know if any other schools will accept me. I've called legal aid. The schools corporate office. The board of nursing hasn't returned my call yet. I don't know what to do. |

i'm sorry this happened to you. I suggest you to talk to a lawyer who defends nurses before BON. I believe the consultation is free. There are nurses who has records and able to obtain license. Ask lawyer if there is anything they can do about your juvenile record. |

What's the update on this story?
Lpn2be in Cleveland, Ohio 6 months ago |
I still have not been able to clear my record. I have no job. I've been seeking employment since November 2013. Lots of interviews, no call backs. Fixed income & juvenile court wants me to pay for expungement which takes 3-6 months. so as it stands I won't be returning to nursing school until my life circumstances and luck change. |
deedee1124 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 6 months ago |
That's so unfair. I wouldn't think a juvenile record what carry this much weight. What a shame. |
CaptainsLog in Redmond, Washington 6 months ago |
There are still ways to get your nursing degree. Never give up. Nursing school is a great way to get a great job. As a CNA, LPN, RN, RN with BSN, MSN. I mean the career ladder can start with as little as several month-long course to earn your CNA. Then you can work your way up from there. lpnbsn.com is one place to find nursing schools. |

Intussusception is the sliding of one part of the intestine into another.
This article focuses on intussusception in children.
Intussusception is caused by part of the intestine being pulled inward into itself.
The pressure created by the walls of the intestine pressing together causes:
Intussusception can block the passage of food through the intestine. If the blood supply is cut off, the segment of intestine pulled inside can die. Heavy bleeding may also occur. If a hole develops, infection, shock , and dehydration can take place very rapidly.
The cause of intussusception is not known. Conditions that may lead to the problem include:
The reason for the problem is more likely to be found in older children.
Intussusception can affect both children and adults. However, most cases occur in children ages 6 months - 2 years. It affects boys four times as often as girls.
The first sign of intussusception is very often sudden, loud crying caused by abdominal pain . The pain is colicky and not continuous (intermittent), but it comes back often. The pain will get stronger and last longer each time it returns.
An infant with severe abdominal pain may draw the knees to the chest while crying.
Other symptoms include:
Your doctor will perform a thorough exam, which may reveal a mass in the abdomen . There may also be signs of dehydration or shock.
Tests may include:
The child will first be stabilized. A tube will be passed into the stomach through the nose (nasogastric tube). An intravenous (IV) line will be placed in the arm, and fluids will be given to prevent dehydration.
In some cases, the bowel blockage can be treated with an air or contrast enema. This is done by a radiologist skilled with the procedure. There is a risk of bowel tearing (perforation) with this procedure.
The child will need surgery if these treatments do not work. The bowel tissue can very often be saved. Dead tissue will be removed.
Antibiotics may be needed to treat any infection.
Intravenous feeding and fluids will be continued until the child has a normal bowel movement.
The outcome is good with early treatment. There is a risk this problem will come back.
When a hole or tear in the bowel occurs, it must be treated promptly. If not treated, intussusception is almost always fatal for infants and young children.
Intussusception is an emergency. Call your health care provider right away, then call 911 or go immediately to the emergency room.

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I have an amber ale a brewed back in the beginning of September. It was tasting fine the past few weeks after bottle conditioning but there is a chemical like taste starting to develop in the bottles. I have had this same flavor happen with all of my extract brews. If I brew all grain that flavor does not show up. I was wondering if this is a common thing or if there is something I can do to "prolong" the shelf life of my beer. Quick primer on my extract process: -I use RO water that I add brew salts to that are supplied by my LHBS. hey have them pre mixed and packaged. -I do full boils and do not top off -The most recent recipe had three additions of cascade hops. A 1.5 oz 60 minute addition, a 1 oz 15 minute addition, and a .5 oz flame out addition. -My fermentation is temp controlled and I made it a point to ferment this beer at 67F -I sanitize everything that comes into contact with my beer post boil using star san at proper dilutions -All of my extract batches use steeping grains, these were steeping at 155-160 then drained. I think that should cover the major parts of my process just in case anyone thought it could be bad practices. Any help is appreciated guys!
Always do drunk what you said you would do sober.
Buddy had a same problem found out it was to high of temps for storing bottled beer. Just a guess ! Me i just drink it sooner. well as soon as its bottled.
I have some from last april or may and some from june that taste awesome
If I could drink more I would, but I pull a lot of LONG days thanks to full time job and full time school. I don't feel like drinking a beer when I have been going non stop for 17 hours straight. All I want is a warm place to close my eyes for 8 hours.
I would think that you are allowing either too much light into the beer or storing it at too high of a temperature. Both produce a reaction with your beer causing off flavour to occur. Or you could have a problem with the storage life of your LME or DME. DME last longer. And it may not be your fault but where you got it from not being fresh enough.

The Multi-Cam Sitcom Gets an Update in Fox's MULANEY Trailer
By Jake Kroeger on May 13, 2014
After switching networks and going through a format change, Mulaney has made its way on to Fox's fall programming slate. The titular character and series creator John Mulaney originally developed a pilot for the show last year at NBC, but surprisingly, they passed on it. At that point, Mulaney was a single camera comedy. When Fox took on the project and eventually ordered it to series, they transformed Mulaney into the traditional multi-cam sitcom format.
Mulaney offers up a glimpse of what might be a fresh, different take on the multi-cam sitcom. Since this is a series starring the hilarious John Mulaney, along with a fantastic cast that includes Martin Short, Naseem Pedrad, Seaton Smith, Elliot Gould, and Zack Pearlman, there's already a smart, diverse comedic base for the series to work from. John Mulaney's successes as a stand-up comedian and writer on SNL will hopefully offer up a sense of humor that toes the line between the expectations of a multi-cam set-up and audiences looking for more sharp, niche comedy. You can see all of this clearly in the series trailer for Mulaney that was just released today.
When this series premieres in the fall, it could also mark the arrival of another era of comedian-centric sitcoms (i.e. comedians getting to tell a version of their life story through a half hour TV show). It's been a while since the days of Seinfeld, but Mulaney, along with the newly ordered Cristela at ABC and Louie, now in its fourth season at FX, might just create a great new wave of sitcoms featuring the lives (and names) of stand-up comedians.
As someone who loves John Mulaney's standup, I have to say that this trailer is a little worrying to me. I'll definitely still give it a shot though.
Agreed, big fan of Mulaney, but this feels like CBS.
I'm glad he is getting a large paycheck. That is all about this that makes me glad.
John Mulaney's stand up is really good, but when it's packaged like this; the laugh track, the perfect mix of ethnic characters, the cookie cutter feel, it's already doomed.
I agree with you about everything except the laugh track thing. It was filled in front of a live audience
All sitcoms in this format are filmed in front of a live audience, but the laughs playing during the show are still canned. They tell the audience when to laugh, and will doctor the audio in postproduction, adding in general laugh tracks wherever they want bigger reactions, etc.
That's really weird… Still hoping this is a dream sequenz, like what his life would be in a sitcom. Scrubs style.
Yeah, not thrilled with this trailer. But I won't judge the show by the trailer. What multi-cam has fox seen work for them. Right away this makes me think that they're hoping this show has the magic of Seinfeld. I mean, it's a multi cam sitcom of a show about a comedian.
Based onthe trailer there is no way I would ever enjoy this show. Let's see what the future holds for Mulaney. -
I don't really understandwhy studios love the multi camera format. Sure it is fun for the studio audience for the most part but the home audience generally likes not having the canned laughter.
what an odd thing to say that the audience generally doesn't like canned laughter. 1. It's not canned it was filmed in front an audience and 2. the shows with a laugh track bring in huge numbers, The most watched comedy right now is The Big Bang Theory which shows no signs of stopping whilst great single cam shows like Community and Parks and Rec always struggled to get huge numbers and are ending very soon. The figures show that the audience generally like having 'canned' laughter
It's canned, regardless of whether it's a pre-recorded clip or a live audience. Go to any taping of any comedy show, and between takes, they have people reminding you to laugh, and laugh HARDER.
I don't know. I might give it a shot. Reminds me too much of Seinfeld. What was great about Seinfeld was that it was unique. And I've seen the comments here about canned laughter and the rebuttal that its filmed in front of an audience. Yes, you can see the audience. But the laughter in the trailer all sounds the same – as if the track was added later. Not liking the trailer too much.
I love Mulaney, but this could just as easily be a parody of a sitcom..a dreadlocked dog on a skateboard? C'mon.
Maaaan. I got an invitation to attend the stage comedy section of this show a while back, and got REALLY excited that he was getting a show.
But I can't describe how sad I am to learn that they switched to multi-camera. It's really one of the worst things ever. Laugh tracks (yes, even live audiences are laugh tracks. They have people to remind the audience to laugh harder than they otherwise would– it's exhausting.) tend to ruin a show. -

East Men's League Premier A title chasers St Albans proved too strong for a depleted Dereham, winning 6-0.
The result saw the Norfolk club drop to fifth in the table while St Albans moved to the top of the league with a game in hand following Harleston Magpies' scoreless draw away to third-placed Bedford.
Dereham were missing three key players – Mark Braybrook and Mark Timm due to work commitments and playmaker Andy Lawrence through a knee injury.
Despite their weakened line-up Dereham performed admirably in the first half and were unlucky to find themselves 2-0 down at the break. Both goals were of the highest quality – a perfectly-placed penalty corner flick and a superb counter attacking goal.
Dereham's chances took a big blow towards the end of the first half when central defender Mark Hunter questioned a decision made by respected former national league umpire Tarsem Chagger and was deservedly sent to the sin-bin for ten minutes.
Despite this, they continued to fight hard and came close to reducing the deficit when a shanked penalty corner strike from Mike Timm was deflected fractionally over the bar by man of the match Matt Stainthorpe. However, the ten men were eventually exposed as the impressive St Albans strikers scored twice in as many minutes to double their advantage.
The final ten minutes were packed full of incident with a disallowed goal, a yellow card and two superb strikes for the title favourites.
A neat deflected goal from Dereham captain Rich Stainthorpe was ruled out due to an infringement outside the circle before a show of dissent from Mike Timm earned him a yellow card suspension. St Albans immediately took advantage with two more goals.
The final score was a little harsh on the visitors, but St Albans were certainly worthy winners of the contest and will take some stopping in their quest to win the title.
In Premier Division B, Norwich City's visit to Harleston 2nds hinged on a controversial incident early in the second half.
With the score at 1-1, City's Charlie Horn had beaten the last defender when he was brought down from behind by the Magpies keeper.
The offending player was fortunate to receive only a yellow card, but more importantly the chance was lost – and soon afterwards Magpies gained and converted a short corner.
City became frustrated, lost discipline with two temporary suspensions of their own and conceded two further goals as they chased the game to lose 3-1.
Magpies had taken the lead from a short corner early in the first half finding a gap in the City defence. City had fought back equalising when Jez Elliots free hit found Pete Morgan who turned the ball in at the post.
In Division Two North Norwich Dragons lost 4-3 at Spalding. They started the game well but were not able to turn their dominance into goals and found themselves 2-0 down before fighting back with two goals from Alex Browne – one smashed home from a well worked penalty corner, the other calmly slotted through the legs of the goalkeeper.
The second half became increasingly fractious as both teams tried to find the goals to guarantee the points which are so precious in such a tight league.
Dragons created a number of good chances in open play and from corners, but could not find a way past the in-form Spalding keeper.
They weren't helped when they had two men sin-binned. Spalding went back ahead when a ball hit into the circle was judged to have been touched by the Dragons keeper as it passed by him into the net.
Back to full strength, Dragons equalised through Rupert Snelling from a penalty corner but as time ran out Spalding converted the last of a series of penalty corners.
Norwich City 2nds remain clear and unbeaten at the top of Division Three NE after winning 6-2 at Lowestoft Railway.
City went in front when Freddy Hooper and Matt Brine combined to set up Jack Ingham for the opening goal and virtually made the game safe during a purple patch of 15 minutes before the interval in which they scored four more goals through Ingram again, Brine (two) and Adie Land.
Lowestoft clawed a goal back at the start of the second half but Brine completed his hat-trick with a straight strike from a short corner before Railway grabbed a second late consolation.
Holt Harlequins kept the pressure on with a 3-2 win at Ipswich Cranes.
Norwich Dragons 2nds remain three points behind Division 4NE's 100pc team Ipswich & East Suffolk 2nds after beating Dereham 1-0 with a late first half goal from Mark Flatman scoring with a well placed shot. The leaders won 8-1 at UEA 2nds.
In Division 6NE Norwich Dragons 4ths maintained their unbeaten home record with a 4-1 win over Bury St Edmunds 5ths – Mike Banham, Ollie King, Paul Keating and Ben Harvey scoring the goals – in the process replacing their opponents in third place behind Ipswich 3rds and Norwich Exiles.

Detecting BADGE in Canned Tuna: An Application Note
Metal cans used for packaging tuna are often coated with a resin barrier that can release chemicals into the tuna, affecting its safety and quality
by By Sharanya Reddy, PhD, and Sergey Rakov, PhD
Metal cans are often coated with a resin barrier to prevent contact between food and the can. Components from these coatings can migrate into the food affecting its safety and quality. Polyepoxyphenol coatings on the inside of cans based on bisphenol A epoxy resins can release the epoxy monomer bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) into food1, 2. Bisphenol A and its derivatives are considered as endocrine disruptors3. Both E.U. and U.S. have set regulations on the limit of BADGE migration into food at 1 mg/Kg. Using the quantitative capability of the time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer, we were able to set up a calibration curve and quantitate BADGE in a tuna extract. In addition, the high mass accuracy capability of the TOF along with the proprietary AxION EC ID software, allowed us to identify an unknown impurity cyclo-di-BADGE without having an authentic standard of this compound.
Sample preparation: 10 g of tuna, transferred into a 50 mL tube and spiked with BADGE standard (200 ng). To this 10 mL of acetonitrile was added and shaken. Salts (1 g sodium chloride, 4 g magnesium sulfate, 1 g trisodium citrate, 0.5 g disodium hydrogen citrate) were added to the sample, which was shaken and centrifuged (3700 rpm) for 5 min. The supernatant (1 mL) was transferred to a dispersive SPE micro-centrifuge tube containing primary and secondary amine (PSA, 25 mg) and magnesium sulfate (150 mg) and C18 (25mg). Sample was vortexed and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 5 min. The supernatant was carefully removed, pH adjusted with 5 µL of 5% formic acid and used for analysis.

Pump: PerkinElmer Flexar FX-15 pump
Flow: 0.4 mL/min
Mobile phase A: Water containing 0.1% formic acid

Internal calibration was performed using m/z 118.08625 and 622.02896 as lock mass ions.
Results: The mass spectrum showed BADGE was predominantly observed as the [M+NH4+] ion (Figure 1). We were easily able to detect as low as 2 ppb concentration of BADGE (S/N = 52) standard. Excellent linearity (r2 > 0.995) was observed for the calibration curve generated between 2 to 500 ng/mL (Figure 2) of BADGE standard. The intra assay %RSD for triplicate injections at the 2 ppb concentration was <10%. Tuna extracts spiked with 20 ng/mL of BADGE standard were easily detected by LC-TOF (Figure 3). A 94% recovery of BADGE was observed in the spiked tuna extracts suggesting little or no ion suppression of the analyte in the extracts.
We tried to identify two unknown peaks with same exact masses eluting between 2.5 to 3 min. using the exact mass capability of the AxION 2 TOF. The accurate mass and isotope profile was entered into the AxION EC ID calculator of the software. The software uses this information and searches against the PubChem database and identifies potential molecular formulae matches. The first potential match with the highest score was identified with the elemental composition C36H40O6 within a mass error of < 1ppm. The software also provides a list of possible structures for the given elemental composition and one of the listed structures that related to bisphenol family of compounds was the BADGE.BPA linear structure. However, an isomeric structure cyclo-di-BADGE compound described in the literature could also be possible. Unlike linear BADGE.BPA structure, the cyclo-di-BADGE is known to migrate as cis and trans isomers by HPLC4. Using chemicals that distinguish between epoxide side chains found in BADGE.BPA linear structure and hydroxyl groups in cyclo-di-BADGE one can further confirm the presence of the two structures.
Using the high sensitivity AxION 2 TOF, we were able to detect 0.2 mg/Kg of BADGE in tuna extract well below the regulation limits set at 1 mg/Kg. Using the high mass accuracy capability of AxION 2 TOF along with the AxION EC ID software, we were able to detect unknown peaks and match them to the isomers BADGE.BPA linear structure/cyclo-di-BADGE structures without the use of authentic standards.

As the fashion industry digested the news Wednesday of the bitter legal battle between Polo Ralph Lauren and the Jones Apparel Group, questions abounded about the future strategies of both companies and their retail partners. What is going to happen to all that Lauren by Ralph Lauren real estate in department stores? Can Polo Ralph Lauren quickly ramp up to produce a major better-price sportswear collection to introduce to stores in September, or will Jones try to move into that valuable space with its newly announced Jones New York lifestyle brand?
Meanwhile, Wall Street investors voted with their shares — and gave the edge, for now, to Ralph Lauren. Jones' stock price fell 64 cents to close Wednesday at $29.61 in trading on the New York Stock Exchange, on a volume of nearly 2.8 million shares. The typical average daily volume is 1.1 million. Polo's shares, which also trade on the Big Board, rose 83 cents to close at $26.83 on volume of nearly 1.6 million. Its daily volume average is just 372,454.
The credit ratings firm Standard & Poor's, meanwhile, took a downbeat outlook on both companies in updating the debt ratings of both Jones and Polo.
Jones was put on CreditWatch with negative implications. The firm had about $1 billion in debt outstanding as of April 5. Affected were the "BBB" long-term corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings of Jones.
As for Polo, S&P affirmed its "BBB" long-term corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings. The outlook was revised to negative. Polo had $340 million in debt outstanding as of Dec. 31, 2002.
Susan Ding, analyst at S&P, wrote Wednesday that the outlook revision on Polo reflected concern that Polo will be "challenged in its ability to execute a spring line in the relatively brief time period. Furthermore, the Lauren line is a different business from Polo's traditional women's lines, and the company will require incremental infrastructure investments as well as additional expenses to create a comprehensive new product line."
A key question facing both companies — and the retailers they deal with — is who is going to get all that valuable square footage in department stores taken up now by the Lauren line. According to an industry source, under the licensing contract, Polo owns the Lauren by Ralph Lauren samples, sketches and patterns, which Jones will need to transfer to the Polo organization. Jones said Tuesday it will develop a Jones New York lifestyle line for the better area that will be priced less than Lauren's collection, but sources believe it is unlikely that stores would be willing to give up the valuable Lauren by Ralph Lauren collection and its real estate so fast.

Kathy Lally doesn't mind giving her time to Gate of Heaven and the community
Kathy Lally doesn't like the limelight. As a matter of fact, everything she does, all that she's involved with, is done behind the scenes without any accolades, devoid of any applause or recognition. But, she doesn't mind this because that's just the way she is. She's asked to do something and it gets done, completed without any excuses or delays.
Kathy is the treasurer of the Gate of Heaven Home and School Association, and has been so for the past six years. As treasurer, she is involved in all of Gatey's fundraising events and keeps tabs on all the money. It could be Pizza with Santa, a yard sale, the selling of Christmas candles, the annual New Year's Eve Party, a Night at the Races fundraiser, whatever. She makes sure there are cash drawers for events, collects the cash, and then safely deposits it in the local bank. In June of each year, all of the money raised is given back to the school.
Kathy is a member of the Gate of Heaven School Board. The board serves as a liaison between the church and the parents to update the Gatey community on what's going on.
Kathy has also been the treasurer of the South Boston Babe Ruth League for 15 years, as well as the unofficial treasurer for the entire Gate of Heaven CYO Sports Program, including all Vicariate CYO sports business. Her husband Kevin oversees both of these programs and appreciates the hard work that Kathy does, year in and year out, to help make his job that much easier. He is indeed a lucky man.
Kathy understands that all of these fundraising events are worthy endeavors. She understands that the school's fundraising events help keep tuition from rising too sharply from year to year.
"These fundraisers are important and help keep tuition rates as affordable as possible," said Katy. "If we didn't have them, tuition would be much higher. As it is, tuitions can be tough for many parents to pay in today's economy."
Kathy also knows that by her involvement, she is setting an example, and serving as a role model for her young, son Greg.
"I just give whatever time I must to get the job done," said Kathy. "I'm there to oversee the funds and make sure they are deposited in the bank and records kept.
"If somebody asks me to do something then I just do it and get it done. I hope that Greg will do the same when he's older. That is, get involved in the community and be active in the church. I feel that my involvement benefits the community and my son and I want the best for both."
The best for both means involvement, commitment, and dedication to the church and the community.
Kathy doesn't mind spending her time in making her community, her church, her piece of life on Earth, a better place in which to live.
And, without doubt, we could use many more just like her.

Increase in the global average surface temperature resulting from enhancement of the greenhouse effect, primarily by air pollution. In 2007 the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change forecasted that by 2100 global average surface temperatures would increase 3.27.2 °F (1.84.0 °C), depending on a range of scenarios for greenhouse gas emissions, and stated that it was now 90 percent certain that most of the warming observed over the previous half century could be attributed to greenhouse gas emissions produced by human activities (i.e., industrial processes and transportation). Many scientists predict that such an increase in temperature would cause polar ice caps and mountain glaciers to melt rapidly, significantly raising the levels of coastal waters, and would produce new patterns and extremes of drought and rainfall, seriously disrupting food production in certain regions. Other scientists maintain that such predictions are overstated. The 1992 Earth Summit and the 1997 Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change attempted to address the issue of global warming, but in both cases the efforts were hindered by conflicting national economic agendas and disputes between developed and developing nations over the cost and consequences of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.

Giving back is how I live well everyday.
Making great food for me and my family is how I live well everyday.
Making time works for me. That's how I live well everyday.
I think I'm a great representative of Woman's Day of the Woman's Day reader. I'm a proud mom of 2 beautiful kids. I have a house full of pets and I'm juggling a career as a HR representative at a Chicago-based design firm. And when I can find the time, I'm also pursuing a personal training which is to write a novel. And with the schedule I've go, I'm always trying to find ways to balance things and that's where Woman's Day has been really, really helpful to me. I trust their advice and I find it always has great ideas for helping me, you know, save time and make things a lot easier which is 1 reason, you know, of many that I really relate to Elizabeth. I mean, when I read her column, she's got 2 kids that are the same age as mine. She's juggling a career and I just feel like she really gets it. You know, there was a story- I think it was last fall- about bullies and that's something kids are dealing with constantly. And it was really helpful to me because I want my kids to really know how to stand up for themselves. And at the same time, for me, it was really, you know, nice to be able to read it as a parent and know, you know, strategies and tactics and things that I can do to help them and, you know, to really hear how other mothers have dealt with the same situation. You know, I feel really fortunate. I have got 2 amazing kids. Amanda, she's really becoming to such a young woman. She's so smart and I'm really proud of her and, Bryan, he's a joy. He's amazing at video games and I actually have a lot of fun playing them with them. It's a way that we can relate to each other and he loves animals. He's convinced his father and me that he is mature enough and responsible enough to get a dog. So, we're letting him get a 1-year-old golden retriever. Well, luckily for us, Woman's Day has a lot of pet advice which has come in really handy especially when we found out when we first got them that Buster would not stop barking. But thanks to some tips that we read in Woman's Day. Knock on wood. That's been taken cared of. And when I'm not focused on my family, him and [unknown], I really love my job as a Human Resources Director. It's great. I'm meeting with different people everyday and it feels really good to help them get somewhere with their career goals. That means a lot to me. That's why there's a recent issue of Woman's Day. It was revolving around working women. And it followed the lives or talked about the lives of 3 women who really, you know, challenged by the same things I am which is balancing home, balancing family, balancing work, balancing personal life and, you know, it had tips that I could really use. And it was also really nice for me to hear the stories of other women that are dealing with the same challenges that I'm dealing with. There was an article I've read recently called "It's Never Too Late" and it was about women who had made changes and done things and fulfilled dreams, you know, later in their lives and it really showed how they did it. And that really motivated me and I think I mentioned earlier. I really wanna write a science fiction novel. And it gives me that encouragement to go, yeah. You know, I can do this. I feel like I am a real woman of Woman's Day and I'm a real mom. I've got the same real challenges every mom has who also has a career and, you know, Woman's Day really helps me do that.
Hi. I'm Lea Williams and I'm one of the real women of Woman's Day. I'm here in my home in beautiful Charlotte, North Carolina and one of my favorite things to do, I love to entertain and have friends over especially for Sunday brunch, anything that I can do to have an excuse to have a party. My friends tease that I have more events than a debutante does. And I've been entertaining a lot more since I started Marcie's Miracle, a 5K in honor of my mom who passed away from heart disease back in 2009. My mom volunteered for everything and she was always taking care of everybody. In fact, she thought about everybody else around her. She put everyone else around her before herself. And so, that's why I started this 5K to benefit women and children. We raise money for women and children because that's what my mother would've wanted to have done if she was alive and started a volunteer organization herself. And, actually, I was reminded of my mom when I read the caregiving issue. All those stories really resonated with me because, when my mom had her heart attack, I became her full-time caregiver and, really, those stories addressed all the different problems that I faced and the dilemmas that I faced when I was taking care of my mom and I didn't know where to turn or what to do and it took a lot of digging for me to find what I really needed to do to help her the best. So, I wish that issue had come out a long time ago because it's really, so many people face that issue in their lives like I did when my mom had her heart attack. Actually, I've been thinking about starting this 5K race or some kind of a charity for a while and I was on the Woman's Day Facebook page which I always go to to see the Quote of the Day and the quote was something like- the worst thing that can happen isn't that you aim high and miss it but that you aim low and you get it- because then that doesn't inspire you to keep aiming. And so, that was really resonated with me and I got into this whole discussion with another Woman's Day Facebook user about the quote and she really basically gave me the last push that I needed to start this 5K race and charity in honor of my mom.
I'm one of the real women of Woman's Day because Woman's Day has given me so much support and information in all areas of life especially helping to stay healthy and giving me the tools to be heart healthy. In fact, I wanted to tell Joy Bauer that I lost my last 10 pounds. I've been trying to lose for years because of her. And Denise Austin, I feel like all I need is for her to come into my home and wake me up every morning and give me some of the energy that she has. I really feel like Joy and Denise were like my personal nutritionists and my personal trainer coming into my own home everyday and really helps me lose that last 10 pounds and get healthy. Thanks Woman's Day for helping me meet a happier, healthier life.
Hi. I'm Erika and I'm so excited to be one of the real women of Woman's Day. Welcome to my kitchen. I'm a really busy, stay-at-home mom. I have been married for 11 years and we have 2 wonderful daughters, Samantha who's 5 and Grace who's 8. And the kitchen is definitely the heart of our home. Both of my girls are in school full time and they also each take different classes. So, we're a really busy family running from ballet to swimming. But when we do have time, we really like baking things together in our kitchen. One of my favorite memories growing up is spending time in the kitchen with my mom and learning how to bake and cook with all these girls that she knew. So, it's definitely a tradition I wanna pass down to my girls. One of my favorite Woman's Day recipe is a really easy recipe that I love to do with the girls every year which is a dessert, a chocolate bark made with crushed candy canes and crumbled cookies. It's so easy. We do it every year and we give it to the teachers for Christmas gifts and it's a favorite. Another great family tradition that we love are family vacations and Woman's Day has got a lot of great articles about places to go and things to see in different cities around the country. So, we took an idea from the magazine and went to Denver and we went skiing. The girls have never been before. It was a lot of fun and I'm really hoping that next summer, we'll have the chance to go or being around the country. My parents do it every summer and we just can't wait. I think it'll be a lot of fun. The girls will go crazy. My girls are growing up so fast. So, I always try to make sure we have a big family Sunday dinner with all of the relatives that live nearby us. It's a great time for us to get together and slow down and spend time together over a great meal. Last week, I made this great ham recipe for Woman's Day. It was delicious. Everyone loved it. It's my husband's favorite. And we made sandwiches the next day for lunch. Oh, and I made this great chocolate cake and everyone raved about it. it was so easy to make. Nobody would realize how easy it was and I didn't even have to do any extra grocery shopping for it. Woman's Day always has the best ideas and simplest recipes that make my life easier. But who's kidding who? I'm a really busy mom. So, I'm not making elaborate meals every night. When I know it's gonna be a really busy day, it's slow cooker time. And thank goodness Woman's Day has a lot of slow cooker recipes because the trick is to find something that everybody likes. Last week, I made a lasagna. Can you believe you can make a lasagna in a slow cooker? Grace, my picky eater loved it, couldn't get enough of it. Since I'm always trying new recipes for Woman's Day, sometimes I do have questions about how to do something and what's really great is I can do onto their Facebook page and I can write a question in. And when the writers will actually answer me back and answer my question, which I think is great. And another thing I love is I can share tips and ideas with other readers about their experiences with the recipes and you really feel like you're making friends and helping each other out. So, another thing I really love about the magazine is the contest. Sometimes, they have special issues where there's a lot of giveaways throughout the issue and all you have to do is take a picture with your phone and send it in to the sweepstakes. I actually did win something. I won a year's supply of eggs which was perfect for our family because we're always baking. So, I always get really excited when my next issue of Woman's Day comes in the mail. Even if I'm busy, I know it's gonna be there when I'm ready for it and I look forward to finding my next great Sunday dinner recipe and hoping it's even gonna be something picky Grace like.

Three receive Dr. King Service Awards
Connecticut College recently honored three members of the community with the 2015 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Service Awards, conferred each year on those who exemplify and uphold the legacy of Dr. King's work.
Sasson Soffer's "Northern Memory, Southern Memory" is on display between Palmer Auditorium and Cummings Arts Center.
No one was more grateful for alumna Jessica Soffer's Connecticut College experience than her father, renowned artist Sasson Soffer.
"My father always talks about how happy it made him to think of me at Connecticut College," Jessica Soffer '07 said.
Soffer, who works as an assistant designer for Seldom Scene Interiors and recently earned her M.F.A. from Hunter College, said that her professors, including Frank Graziano, Blanche McCrary Boyd and Robert Gay, as well as Mary Devins, the associate director of the College's Toor Cummings Center for International Studies and the Liberal Arts, gave her the support and focus she needed to figure out exactly what she wanted to do.
As a way of giving back to the College, Soffer and her family recently donated one of Sasson's pieces, "Northern Memory, Southern Memory," to the College. Sasson has exhibited across the country, twice at Carnegie International, the oldest North American exhibition of contemporary art. His work can be found in permanent collections at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City and the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
Soffer said that the family chose the piece, designed in 1986, in part because the dynamic sculpture provides a contrast to the very serene, rolling landscape of Tempel Green.
"In many ways, the campus is punctuated by strong art, and we wanted to contribute to that trend," she said.

M+R Benchmarks Study explains what's going on in the world of online advocacy & fundraising
Now in its eighth year, the M+R Benchmarks Study, cosponsored by NTEN, analyzes the data that matters most to nonprofit online programs. The goal of the Study is to set benchmarks that help nonprofits measure their online performance, track progress, and guide strategy with an eye toward more effective fundraising and advocacy.
Here are 8 big trends that emerged from the nonprofits we surveyed:
1. The average one-time online donation amount to a nonprofit was $68 in 2013.
