5 Printable Coupon Websites You Should Know
Tweet |
Are you ready to save some serious cash? Printable coupons are the BIGGEST thing in coupon world. Why? Well, from a manufacturers perspective, it is much less expensive to house a coupon on a website than in the newspaper plus, if you print it, you are more likely to actually use the coupon which also means, you are more likely to become brand loyal. The good news is that this can all work in your favor.
First, be sure to set your printer to black & white only and also to 'draft' settings. As long as the barcode and information is legible, the coupon should scan just fine at the register. Second, make sure you do not copy a printable coupon. Third, check all the websites below on a regular basis, the coupons change all the time.
5 Printable Coupon Websites You Should Know
These are the websites I use almost daily for great savings! Again, check them often. You may have to download a few applications to print from the websites above but no worries, it is safe for download. Enjoy the deals!
Disclosure: Affiliate links in post but all websites are amazing and worth checking out!
I have mine set to black & white and draft setting but quite frequently they don't scan. Most of the time the cashier just does whatever they need to enter it in. Other times they question "is this photocopied?", or at Wal-mart it's "we can't accept coupons that don't scan, but I'll do it this one time".

Milan San Siro Stadium
21 July 2005
Milan San Siro Stadium
Staggered up around 11am to a flurry of text messages about more London bombs. Dull, dull, dull. I headed out in search of the ultimate cappuccino, pressing the button for the lift on my floor of the hotel. The elevator doors opened to reveal Michael Stipe. I love touring, its so fabulously, impossibly random. (Last year in New York when we were doing Saturday Night Live, the hotel lift doors opened and Captain Kirk was standing inside, which was a wonderfully odd moment. Speaking of which I also heard that Scotty from Star Trek died today, which is sad. Anyhow, I digress) I did see Michael at the gig last night, with Mike Mills, but we hardly had time to socialise, given the state of my night at the time. It was lovely to see them, as always.
I had an hour to myself in Milan, so wandered a little as I was on a mission to find a stylish wedding present for friends getting hitched this weekend (yes, life outside the tour goes on). I wasnt surprised to see so many cafÈs but was amazed to notice about 6 small cinemas too. Sat in a cafÈ, collected myself, then headed back to work.
In the spirit of multi-tasking, I managed to sort out my expense receipts whilst being driven to the stadium in the International Van of the Year. Once there we got into some serious tape viewing with Hamish, Bruce & Allen. The feeling was that last night had been relatively successful, but we were still in need of total triumph tonight. There were some funny moments too, particularly Original of the Species with the added string section. There were 16 string players split between the two b-stages for the song and even though we had run through this during soundcheck yesterday (more for logistics than anything ≠ can you get a cello through the crash barrier, etc?) to all intents and purposes the first time we saw this on camera was during the show last night. When viewing the tapes someone noticed (OK, it was me) that if you closed one eye and looked at the tracking shots of the string section on the b-stage, you could imagine that they were floating past the camera on the surface of the crowd, much akin to a River Thames dinner cruise. Oh how we laughed.
We had just started watching the whole show from start to finish, when I got a call from the dressing room. I headed up there to find that the band were there also watching last nights tapes and were at almost exactly the same point of the show, which was weird synchronicity. As I got input and comments from the band, I would text them to Allen and Bruce who were watching in the video truck, which was not only highly efficient but amusingly hi-tech too.
We made our plans, constructed our strategy as to how to shoot this thing, then watched the band walk out on stage and do one of the greatest U2 shows I have ever seen. Bono told the audience (in Italian, I might add) last night was our first date, tonight we make love, and if a band and their audience ever shagged each other, then this was the night it happened. It was a full on love-fest, they just nailed it, bless em.
Youll be able to see it for yourself one day, as the whole thing is committed to digital media for posterity, but of the highlights for me personally, the greatest was Bono putting on a t-shirt thrown to him from the crowd. It was a particularly unfashionable shade of blue, but bore the Underground logo from Londons public transport system. I had a little moment, right there in the truck. Whoever could have imagined that the Tube logo could have emotional resonance.
The band did a runner, so afterwards, sitting on boxes with beers, I called Bono to say nice one, to let him know that we had captured the whole spectacular, emotional event and also to say goodbye, because this is my last show for the time being. Having given birth to this thing we call Vertigo ≠ indoors and out ≠ and watched it get up on its feet I am going to leave them to it for a while. Consequently I had plenty of goodbyes to say, so I did the rounds before leaving. (Though, within a week I am sure they will all have forgotten I ever existed, such is the way of the road.)
I stopped off at the crew hotel for a nightcap with the rest of the video team, before finally making it back to the Hotel Fabulous where I found Mike Mills in the bar. He and Michael Stipe had stayed for tonights show as well and had had a really good time. R.E.M. finished their year-long tour last weekend so, like me, Mike is blinking in the daylight of impending free time. Beam us up, Scotty!

A year later, A's, Rangers rivalry has tilted westward
Young ace Gray has helped A's take over as AL West's frontrunner
A year ago Saturday, the Rangers trailed the A's in the American League West by a mere 1 1/2 games.
Even after Texas took the series opener from Oakland on Friday night, the last-place Rangers now trail the first-place A's by 22 1/2 games.
One of many reasons why Oakland has the Majors' best record is Sonny Gray. The right-handed Gray will be making his final start of a dominant month of July.
So far this month, Gray is 4-0 with an ERA of just 0.95. He's earned wins in each of his last five starts.
In Gray's previous start, against Baltimore, he allowed only two hits over 6 2/3 innings. He walked two batters and struck out eight.
"He's been really consistent for us," said A's manager Bob Melvin. "You're always kind of nitpicking with him when he's not."
Gray nitpicked after the start against the Orioles, saying he felt some rust in his first outing since the All-Star break. His manager insists that there won't be room for error Saturday, even against baseball's worst team by winning percentage.
"I think they're dangerous regardless," Melvin said. "I look at their lineup today, and they still have a deep lineup. Obviously they've had some extensive injuries this year, but I've never seen them play poorly. It's a team that's always given us a battle."
The Rangers will turn Saturday to Nick Tepesch, whose start was pushed back from Friday after he pitched in relief during Tuesday's 14-inning marathon in New York against the Yankees. He took the loss in that game after throwing just 12 pitches.
Because of the low pitch count in the rare inning of relief Tuesday, Tepesch might have been able to pitch as scheduled on Friday. But he was given an extra day's rest as a precaution.
"It's mutually kind of beneficial for me," the big righty said. "I think if push came to shove, I could've thrown today, but it's definitely not going to hurt, let's put it that way."
A's: Cespedes back in lineup Friday
After being held out of Thursday's lineup with a right thumb sprain, Oakland slugger Yoenis Cespedes was back in action for the opener in Arlington.
Cespedes played center field as Coco Crisp took a routine day off. He went 1-for-3 Friday with an RBI single.
Both Cespedes and Crisp are expected to be in the lineup Saturday.
Rangers: Washington insists club would be competing had it stayed healthy
Coming after two thrilling races between the A's and Rangers the past two seasons, this year is a stark juxtaposition.
Still, Texas manager Ron Washington believes that, had his team not been hit so severely by the injury bug, it would be duking it out with the A's for AL West supremacy once again.
"I have no doubt about it. My team in Spring Training, if we stayed healthy and the guys that we depend on do what they're supposed to do, we would've been there competing," Washington said. "I still believe that."
Worth noting
• Gray is 8-1 in starts that follow an Oakland loss.
• The Rangers' win Friday night leveled the season series at five games apiece.

U2 & a stage...All I need
Words cannot describe the emotions I felt when watching the clip of U2 at the Brandenburg Gate.
I can vividly rememeber the breaking newscast 20 years ago when the Berlin wall was crumbling. I rememeber exactly where I was, what i was doing & the joy I felt in my heart for the Berliners! U2's performance...just the band & a stage & the magnificent lighting effects beautified the moment!!!
18 November, 2009
It was a brilliant setting, great performance and the sound quality was so great, just some speakers and a small stage. Was all worth the driving from Amsterdam. Nice to read Willie that after you having seen already so much you're still did find this a special moment too.
18 November, 2009
One of those moments
Thanks for putting this experience into words, Willie. My daughter was born on that day twenty years ago and U2 performing in front of the Brandenburger Tor was very special for me. And we always do a duet to One (with the other 80,000!) at gigs. Achtung, Baby...


text: Women must rally behind Mr. Obama- we cannot go backwards on issues of pay equity or right to choose. Gosh can't we find some women- we took a concerted effort is not a public policy leadership position???? Saying women need to be more flexible- there it is-PEOPLE need to be more flexible- Women do not have to have special arrangements to care for children---ALL people need that flexibility. Keeping women in their place is what he is advocating-not too subtle but dangerous

In an ongoing effort to engage scientists in advocacy for research funding and science policy and to provide innovative new tools for our member societies, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology has rolled out several new electronic resources.
•The NSF Clearinghouse can be found at www.NSFadvocacy.org. •The Congressional Visit Toolbox is available at http://bit.ly/3V5Dzr. •FASEB's compilation of education and employment data is at http://bit.ly/EJSaN.
The National Science Foundation Advocacy Clearinghouse is a comprehensive resource developed for the NSF advocacy community, policymakers and members of the public interested in supporting NSF and its pioneering scientific research and education programs.
The site contains links to data, policy reports, NSF-funded scientific breakthroughs, advocacy tools and relevant government and nonprofit information.
"We hope that this new resource will inspire and help the many friends of NSF in their efforts to tell the story of this remarkable driver of progress," said FASEB President Mark O. Lively.
The Congressional Visit Toolbox is an online resource aimed at empowering, training and equipping scientists to build relationships with their elected representatives in Congress. The toolbox contains everything needed to plan and conduct a congressional visit, including templates for meeting requests and follow-up letters, printable state-specific "leave-behind" materials and customizable talking points on the importance of biomedical research. Training materials, such as a slideshow tutorial on advocacy and a video of congressional visit role-playing, are also linked to the site.
The launch of the toolbox comes at a time when science advocacy is critical. "With the recent investments in biomedical research through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act set to expire next year, and future funding for the National Institutes of Health and other science agencies uncertain, scientists have an important role to play by directly contacting their legislators to talk about their concerns and priorities," said Lively. "Hopefully, the toolbox will provide scientists with all they need to convey their messages effectively, whether they are new to biomedical science advocacy or longtime leaders in the field."

Under a canopy of gray skies, with rain and snow pierced by occasional shafts of sunlight, the Mammoth Track held its grand opening on Saturday, Nov. 17.
Some last-minute finishes remain before it becomes a fully functional facility, but the surface and infield were in great shape—enough for a victory lap by scores of runners and community members.
The track closed again right after the ceremony near the Whitmore Ballpark on Benton Crossing Road, but it will reopen soon to the public, pending certification.
Even so, the ceremony was altogether fitting.
"We dared you to do more and you did it," said world-renown Olympic distance coach Joe Vigil last Saturday to hundreds of locals and athletes.
"We said if you build it they will come and you people, all of you, you did it," Vigil said. "And they will come."
"This is a dream that started as a hallucination," said Mammoth Mountain Ski Area CEO Rusty Gregory. "You, Jim and Elaine Smith, sitting around a kitchen table, this was impossible. But it is here and it is a testament to all dreamers. It is the true measure of a community that against all odds, against the financial meltdown of world markets, that we can do it when we decide to do it together. Thank you for showing us how to do it. Thank you."
"We've really had enough bad news over these past few years," said runner Elaine Smith, one of four who championed the track project. "But today, we are joyful. Today, we are hopeful. Today, we are inspired. We dared to believe we could do it, we dared to doggedly pursue our vision, and we are here today celebrating its arrival."
Skiing is this area's winter brand, she continued. High altitude training will be the summer brand, especially for runners.
And the track isn't just for elite athletes. It's for the more than 500 kids who signed up for soccer this year, the dozens more in the football program, the fledgling track and field teams from Mammoth Middle School and Mammoth High School who have never had a good place to train. It's for the 45-year-old community member determined to run a mile for the first time ever, she said.
"The Mammoth Track project is just one example of what we can do and it can be replicated," she said.
In some ways, the whole thing is just getting started, she said. Although the track and infield are done, still to come in the next few years are a training center with lockers, weight room and restrooms, a seating area, a picnic area, expanded parking and more.
It all came together when runners around the globe began to realize that Mammoth is one of the best places in the world—if not the best—to train and live for elite distance athletes, a fact that became clear after residents and long distance runners Deena Kastor and Meb Keflezighi medaled in the Athens 2004 Olympics.
The problem was there was no actual, certified, standardized running track in Mammoth. Elite athletes (and their millions of dollars) headed to Colorado or France or Flagstaff to train at altitude.
Mammoth, whose 8,000 foot elevation makes it a perfect place to live and train, was being left behind, said local runners Jim and Elaine Smith. In 2007, they sat around a kitchen table with Kastor and her husband Andrew, to stop the exodus.
Their backgrounds and experience complemented one another and the plan to construct a track fell into place. Jim Smith works for Mammoth Mountain and is an accomplished real estate developer, with a keen sense of timing and pacing and a lot of connections; Elaine Smith is an experienced project manager, who knows how to take abstract ideas and turn them into concrete, on-the-ground projects; Deena Kastor is an Olympian with a lot of momentum and brand appeal; Andrew Kastor is a coach that has helped make the local running club (then called the High Sierra Striders) the center for long distance runners in the nation.
The four of them hit the ground running—and then, in 2008, the world plunged into a giant recession.
People were out of work, homes were foreclosing, the national economy had ground to a halt, and an unmitigated disaster of a $30 million lawsuit judgment against the town looked likely to stick.
It was a terrible time to ask people and governments for millions of dollars for a project that was so far out of Mammoth's small-town experience, it seemed laughable.
"It was the definition of insanity," said Elaine Smith. "It looked impossible."
The group prevailed due to one thing, she said.
"We, Jim and I and Deena and Andrew, have such a passion for Mammoth, for running, and this was the missing link," she said. "This is what will allow us to move beyond our borders here, to bring people here from all over the world."
The Mammoth Track project cost $2.4 million and took five years to build. Starting from nothing was not an easy sell, even for the four passionate dreamers.
"When something doesn't exist, there is a lot of work setting it up, getting people to understand what it is you're trying to do and get their buy in," Smith said.
It wasn't until Dave and Roma McCoy donated a large chunk of cash in 2009 that things really started moving.
"I can still remember where I was when I got the call from Elaine that Dave had committed" said Andrew Kastor. "I was standing at the Los Angeles Half Marathon Expo and Deena was signing autographs and I told her and her jaw dropped and we knew then we could go to the Town and ask for matching dollars and that's what started the domino effect. Their involvement was absolutely critical."
It wouldn't be a dream worth pursuing without some delays. A little tiny, rare plant near the track location delayed the project for another year. An old garbage dump, hidden under the ground, revealed an immense pile of old cars, which all had to be removed before grading could commence.
But Mammoth, urged on by its tourism director, John Urdi, and sustained by the Town Council's belief in the project even in the face of immense financial challenges, kept its focus. The Recreation Commission didn't say no, the Measure U committees kept the light burning for the track.
Other donors came on board, and Elaine Smith ran ragged, organizing High Sierra Strider running club events to raise money.
Some money from the state for using recycled materials—tiny rubber balls that help hold the ball field grass upright—came through.
By 2011, the final details were sewed up. Finally, the graders broke ground late summer of 2012.
"Combine the track with the trails, and forest roads we have, and then also consider training 4,000 feet lower in elevation in the Bishop area on a year-round basis, then you have in a complete middle and long distance aerobic training paradise," said longtime Mammoth skier, coach, Mammoth Mountain executive, and all around sportsman John Armstrong.
"The group of people surrounding and supporting Deena, Andrew and Elaine, as well as the trio themselves, could very well be our citizens of the year," he said.
"They didn't sit still with their hands out; they had a passionate vision and attacked it with a fervor that lead to success."
"Five years may seem like a long time to fulfill this particular dream but actually it's pretty quick and it shows the rest of us that we can take the next step, which may be to attract athletes of other sports, such as triathlon, cycling and soccer to make Mammoth Lakes their favorite high altitude training center."

In one of his recent President's Messages ("A Teachable Moment," October 2009), Gregory A. Petsko reflected on the potential of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology to lead the way in revitalizing biochemistry and molecular biology education. In response to findings and directives from the Teagle working group (1), Petsko suggested that the time is right for our community to broaden educational goals within the BMB major. This is also a current priority for the National Science Foundation and the National Academy of Sciences (2). In addition to increasing student engagement in the classroom, teaching strategies that promote active learning help students improve skills such as writing, speaking, critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork. Although our colleagues in the humanities and social sciences bear some responsibility for helping our students to learn these skills, ultimately, if we expect future biochemists and molecular biologists to have these competencies, we need to step up our teaching efforts in those areas.
College and university science teachers long have considered the laboratory the most appropriate arena in which to help students develop the thinking, communication and social skills necessary to succeed in scientific and medical professions. Focusing on scientific skills during lab is effective, but, as we try to elevate performance so that students can compete on a global level, teaching skills in the classroom is essential. Fortunately, a number of resources already exist for those who are interested in doing this.
• For more on POGIL materials, locations of upcoming workshops and contact information for people using POGIL in your area, e-mail Jennifer Loertscherat email@example.com.
• For two POGIL activities you can use in your classroom, go to www.pcrest2.com/biochemistry/flyer.htm.
Process-oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL) is one approach that aims to help students build
an understanding of scientific concepts while simultaneously developing skills such as oral and written communication, problem solving, critical thinking and teamwork (3). A typical biochemistry POGIL activity includes three parts: a pre-class assignment, an in-class activity, and a post-class homework assignment (4, 5). The preclass assignment helps to prepare students for the activity so that they are ready to fully participate during class time. The purpose of the in-class activity is to help students learn concepts and skills. Those activities consist of a series of questions related to one topic, and they become progressively more challenging throughout the class period. In practice, the process by which students work through activities under faculty guidance resembles Socratic questioning. The questions in the activities lead students through a logical thought process that asks them to analyze information and question their own assumptions (6). Students continue to develop knowledge and skills in the homework assignment. Although other active pedagogies such as problem-based learning (PBL) and case-based learning are effective and well established in BMB education, POGIL has some characteristics, described below, that could make it more amenable to implementation in a variety of classroom settings.
In 2007, my colleague Vicky Minderhout and I received funding from NSF to improve, assess and disseminate POGIL materials for biochemistry. An ongoing aspect of our project is assessment of prerequisite chemistry and biology knowledge that students bring to biochemistry courses and evaluation of learning that takes place in biochemistry classrooms using POGIL materials. Even more important, given the recent call to action by Petsko and others, is the part of our project aimed at broad and effective dissemination of POGIL materials for the biochemistry classroom. To accomplish this, we have communicated with a variety of colleagues, including those who teach in biology, biochemistry or chemistry departments, those who teach large classes and those who have experience with other active learning approaches. As a result of these interactions, we have a greater understanding of the barriers that prevent faculty members from making changes in their classrooms and have begun to identify strategies to overcome those barriers. Some of these ideas are described next.

The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.

This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
When read in this way, the Genesis stories may be seen as one of the greatest-ever revolutions in human understanding. Genesis used the literary forms of the day to introduce its readers to a rational God who cares for people – and whose faithfulness made science possible. Genesis is expressly about theology, not science.
This week in our Origins News Roundup: News of new nucleobases, the future of synthetic biology, and some healthy dialogue and critique of certain aspects of modern science.
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."

As tax policy tightens, energy strategies reap added tax benefits
Blog Entry:
April 08, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: Paul Etzler
Paul Etzler
Paul Etzler is a principal at Skoda Minotti.
Despite some unfavorable tax legislation recently, property owners still have some ability to manage federal income taxes.
Last month we discussed depreciation expense strategies to maximize savings. This month we will continue down the depreciation path by addressing cost segregation studies and the tax code for Energy Efficient Buildings (EPAct Section 179D). In addition, we'll touch on the Energy Efficient Home Tax Credit (IRC Section 45L).
Cost segregation studies examine a building's components to validate a shorter useful life for depreciation, thereby taking larger tax deductions immediately. Items may include floor covering, plumbing, HVAC systems, fixtures and doors. Cost segregation studies examine a building's components to validate a shorter useful life for depreciation, thereby taking larger tax deductions immediately.
Although used since the 1960's, it wasn't until commercial building depreciable lives jumped from 19 years (and less in some cases) to 31.5 years and to 39 years that engineering shorter-lived assets out of a building's cost had a real impact to tax-reduction methods.
For buildings that have been in service, a cumulative catch-up depreciation deduction can be taken in the year the study is performed. Hence, a building placed in service, or purchased, five years ago can take five years of accelerated depreciation, all in 2013. The study is applicable to all types of business property, and should be coordinated by a tax professional and an engineer.
EPAct Section 179D allows for an immediate depreciation tax deduction for the installation of energy efficient retrofits. The actual energy savings requirements depend on the type of retrograde retrofit. If the improvement qualifies, the building owner can claim up to 60 cents per square foot for interior lighting upgrades; 60 cents per square foot for HVAC upgrades; and 60 cents per square foot for building envelope upgrades.
These can be combined so it is possible to gain a tax deduction of as much as $1.80 per square foot. Like cost segregation studies, a professional qualified to conduct detailed studies and certify the property is essential.
Don't overlook energy credits for residential uses
IRC Section 45L offers a tax credit of $2,000 per residential unit when constructing or substantially renovating an apartment complex or other dwelling unit, as defined. As with the Section 179D deduction, certain energy savings requirements must be met, documented, and maintained. Furthermore a tax professional should be consulted to ensure compliance with the tax credit requirements.
These are just three opportunities for building owners to reduce current federal income tax burdens. All three strategies have been available to the taxpayer for several years. However, with a substantial increase in tax rates, now is the time to reevaluate the impact these IRS opportunities can have on your bottom line.

Description: Adipocytes are important regulators of vertebrate energy stores, in part through the storage of dietary fat (triglyceride) that is mobilized via lipolysis during fasting states for use by tissues such as heart and skeletal muscle (1, 2). However, in chronic conditions of overnutrition, such as obesity and lipid storage disorders, excess intracellular lipid accumulation and reduced lipolysis leads to cellular lipotoxicity, which contributes to diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cardiomyopathy (2, 3). The metabolism of cellular lipid is regulated in part by protein-protein interactions near the surface of intracellular lipid droplets. In adipocytes lipolysis is inhibited by the interaction of a protein called abhydrolase domain-containing 5 (ABHD5) with the lipid droplet scaffold protein perilipin A (PLIN). In cells that do not express PLIN, such as myocytes, lipolysis is blocked by similar interactions of ABHD5 with myocyte lipid droplet protein (MLDP) (4). Studies showing reduced lipotoxicity following Plin overexpression (5, 6), combined with population studies identifying ABHD5 mutations as a cause of the lipid storage disease Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome (7), suggest that activating lipolysis by blocking interactions of ABHD5 with PLIN or MLDP will increase lipid clearance from adipocytes and other cells, thereby reducing lipotoxicity. As a result, compounds that inhibit these protein interactions may have therapeutic potential for lipid disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (8). References: 1.

Protocol Assay Overview: The purpose of this assay is to determine dose response curves for available powder samples of compounds identified as possible ABHD5-MLDP interaction inhibitor probe candidates. In this G. princeps luciferase complementation assay, ABHD5 fused to the C-terminus of luciferase (ABHD5-LucC) and MLDP fused to the N-terminus of luciferase (MLDP-LucN) are incubated in the presence of test compounds. Binding of the two proteins reconstitutes full length luciferase, leading to an increase in well luminescence. As designed, compounds that inhibit the interaction of ABHD5 and MLDP will prevent luciferase reconstitution, thereby preventing an increase in well luminescence. Compounds are tested in triplicate using a 10-point, 1:3 dilution series, starting at a nominal test concentration of 40 uM. Protocol Summary: Prior to the start of the assay 2.5 uL of protein suspension containing recombinant ABHD5 were dispensed into each well of 1536-well microtiter plates. Test compounds or DMSO alone were then added to the appropriate wells. The assay was started by adding 2.5 uL of lysate containing recombinant MLDP protein. The plates were incubated for 4 hours at 25 C. Next, the assay was stopped by dispensing 5 uL of Coelenterazine reagent to each well, followed by incubation at room temperature for 30 minutes. Well luminescence was measured on the ViewLux plate reader. The percent inhibition for each compound was calculated as follows: %_Inhibition = ( ( Test_Compound - Median_Low_Control ) / ( Median_High_Control - Median_Low_Control ) ) * 100 Where: Test_Compound is defined as wells containing test compound. Low_Control is defined as wells containing DMSO. High_Control is defined as wells containing 25 uM Trans-chalcone. For each test compound, percent inhibition was plotted against compound concentration. A four parameter equation describing a sigmoidal dose-response curve was then fitted with adjustable baseline using Assay Explorer software (Accelrys Inc). The reported IC50 values were generated from fitted curves by solving for the X-intercept value at the 50% inhibition level of the Y-intercept value. In cases where the highest concentration tested (i.e. 40 uM) did not result in greater than 50% inhibition, the IC50 was determined manually as greater than 40 uM. PubChem Activity Outcome and Score: Compounds with an IC50 greater than 10 uM were considered inactive. Compounds with an IC50 equal to or less than 10 uM were considered active. Any compound with a percent activity value < 50% at all test concentrations was assigned an activity score of zero. Any compound with a percent activity value >= 50% at any test concentration was assigned an activity score greater than zero. Activity score was then ranked by the potency, with the most potent compounds assigned the highest activity scores. The PubChem Activity Score range for active compounds is 100-80, and for inactive compounds 54-0.

Police in Florida say they arrested a man for driving drunk -- inside a Walmart.
Timothy Carr, 48, was spotted at about 9 p.m. Sunday drunk and driving a motorized shopping cart around a Walmart in Brooksville, Tampa TV station WFLA reported.
He was drinking an alcoholic beverage he had taken off a shelf and knocking items off shelves with the cart, according to the Tampa Tribune.
Police said Carr told them he didn't have the money to pay for the alcohol and was arrested on charges of disorderly intoxication and retail theft.
Court records show he's been convicted of retail theft twice in the past, Tampa TV station WTSP reported.

Pirates, Locke look to start new streak vs. Phillies
Bucs still have best record in Majors, take on lefty Lannan
For the first time in nearly two weeks, the Pirates enter Wednesday having lost a game. But not much else is going wrong right now in Pittsburgh.
The Bucs' nine-game winning streak was snapped Tuesday, but they still have the best record in the Majors and send Jeff Locke, who has been their best starter this season, to the mound against the Phillies.
Locke was originally scheduled to start the series opener Tuesday, but he was scratched because he warmed up in the bullpen during the Pirates 14-inning marathon win against the Brewers on Sunday. The lefty has been brilliant this season. His 2.06 ERA is the second-best mark in the National League, and Locke has not lost since his first outing of the season.
Brandon Cumpton was called up for the spot start Tuesday and allowed three runs in a losing effort against the Phillies. However, the Pirates' 51 wins still ties them with the Red Sox for the most in baseball, and they're trying to stay focused regardless of their win total.
"As a team, you're not going to take anybody lightly, especially in Major League Baseball," Pirates second baseman Neil Walker said. "Doesn't matter if it's the worst team in the league or the best team in the league, you're trying to approach every game the same. You hope that when you're playing teams, they aren't playing as well as they want to. But you're not banking on that."
The Phillies will look for their fifth win of their current road trip behind John Lannan. The lefty pitched seven strong innings in his last start against the Dodgers. He has a 3.71 ERA in three appearances since coming off the disabled list on June 17.
Phillies: Kendrick to make next start
Kyle Kendrick is still slated to make his next start despite sustaining a mild concussion Sunday, according to Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr.
Kendrick was hit in the helmet while batting against the Dodgers, but it was determined he was healthy enough to pitch in his next start after he was evaluated Tuesday. He is 7-5 with a 3.59 ERA and 70 strikeouts in 17 starts this season.
The right-hander will throw a bullpen session Wednesday. As long as everything goes well, he will make his next start, which is scheduled for Saturday against the Braves.
"I think it was a very mild one when they did the original testing after the game two days ago," Amaro said of Kendrick's concussion. "He's doing pretty well, he should be good to go. Obviously [not] if there is something that happens in the next 24 or 48 hours, but right now he should be fine for his start."
Pirates: Tabata may rejoin Pirates on Wednesday
Jose Tabata, who has not been with the Pirates since late May, could return to the team as early as Wednesday.
The outfielder hit the disabled list with a strained left oblique on May 27 and has been rehabbing with Triple-A Indianapolis. The 24-year-old's numbers were not great in the Minors (5-for-28 in nine games), but manager said Tabata has recovered from the injury well.
"There was no re-injury," manager Clint Hurdle said. "He was able to move forward, get at-bats, play the outfield, run the bases, bunt, attempt to steal. Those types of things."
Tabata hit .272 in 36 games with the Pirates this season before the injury. He was not in the lineup for Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Worth Noting
• Pirates starters have surrendered three runs or fewer in each of their last 16 starts.
• Ryan Howard snapped an 0-for-22 slump with an RBI single in the sixth inning Tuesday. Howard has 42 RBIs this season.
