Research Highlight: Detection of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Using Tension Dependent Stochastic Behavior of a Single-Molecule Template
Deepak Koirala, Zhongbo Yu, Soma Dhakal, and Hanbin Mao.
J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2011, 133(26), pp 9988-9991.
Compared to current approaches that heavily replies of amplification steps such as PCR to generate detectable signals, our detection system exploits mechanical signals that provide little background interference and high specificity between wild type and SNP sequences which is varied either by G/C or A/T mutations. The microfluidic setting allows multiplex sensing and in situ recycling of the SNP probe. Although previous attempts to combine laser tweezers and lab-on-a-chip system exist, our method represents the first SNP sensing based on these two techniques. Using this setup, we have successfully detected a SNP associated with coronary heart diseases at 100 pM in 30 minutes. We anticipate this system can function as a highly sensitive generic biosensor after incorporation of a specific recognition element, such as an apatmer for example.
Research Highlight: An RNA G-Quadruplex is Essential for Cap-Independent Transition Initiation in Human VEGF IRES
Mark J. Morris, Yoichi Negishi, Cathy Pazsint, Joseph D. Schonhoft, and Soumitra Basu.
J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2010, 132, pp 17831-17839.
RNA quadruplexes present within the 5'-untranslated regions are known to act as repressors inhibiting translation. In this work we show for the first time that an RNA G-quadruplex can be an essential element for translation of the human vascular endothelial growth factor (hVEGF). Given the importance of VEHF in tumor angiogenesis, this newly discovered G-quadruplex motif can potentially be an anti-cancer therapeutic target.

J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2010, 132 (43), pp 15099–15101 DOI: 10.1021/ja1044192
Research Highlight "Zooming in on Proteins", Nature, 467, 1009, 28 October 2010
Superresolution (SR) imaging techniques based on sequential imaging of sparse subsets of single molecules require fluorophores whose emission can be photoactivated or photoswitched. Because organic fluorophores can emit significantly more photons than average fluorescent proteins, organic fluorophores have a potential advantage in SR imaging schemes, but targeting to specific cellular proteins must be provided.
The design and application of HaloTag-based target-specific azido DCDHFs, a class of photoactivatable push−pull fluorogens which produce bright fluorescent labels suitable for single-molecule SR imaging in live bacterial and fixed mammalian cells, is described in this publication. The two images show localized labeling of PopZ (a pole organizing protein) at the cell poles in live Caulobacter crescentusbacteria with DCDHF fluorophores. The unresolved image at left is obtained in the conventional diffraction limited (DL) mode with a nonphotoactived amino-DCDHF fluorophore while the image at right, which reveals the distinct shape of the cap-like polymeric network, was obtained in SR mode using a photoactivated azido-DCDHF fluorogen.
This research is a result of a collaborative project between Stanford University (Departments of Chemistry, Radiology & Cellular Biology; photophysics, bioconjugation and imaging) and Kent State University (Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry; fluorogen synthesis, J.C.W and R. J. T)
Research Highlight: 1,1,3,3-Tetramethylguanidine Solvated Lanthanide Aryloxides: Pre-Catalysts for Intramolecular Hydroxylation
Janini, T. E., Rakosi, R., Durr, C. B., Bertke J. A., Bunge, S. D.* "1,1,3,3-Tetramethylguanidine solvated lanthanide aryloxides: Pre-catalysts for intramolecular hydroalkoxylation" Dalton Trans, 2009 47 10601-10608.
The development of single-site homogeneous lanthanide-catalysts for organic transformations is driven to a large degree by the quest for increased efficiency and selectivity. In this report, we present the synthesis and characterization of 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (H-TMG) solvated lanthanide aryloxide complexes with the general formula [Ln(H-TMG)2(OAr)2(OR)]. These complexes were utilized as pre-catalysts for the intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of 4-pentyn-1-ol. Each compound was found to be effective at converting 4-pentyn-1-ol to 2-methylenetetrahydrofuran.

How do you care for silver (not real) coated acrylic beads. I had someone use CLR, which discolored the beads. I guess I need to provide instructions but I'm not sure what would be the best way to clean them, or is there some way I can coat them to provide extra protection. Thanks.
- A. Read the Answer
I use a lot of acrylic beads in my designs, especially "pony" beads. I notice that a lot of them have excess plastic and rough edges left over from the manufacturing process. I was wondering what is the fastest and most effective way to file down these rough spots. Is it possible to use a rock tumbler for greater speed?

OXFORD, Ohio – For the second straight match, the Miami University volleyball team took one of the top Mid-American Conference teams in Western Michigan to five sets, but the RedHawks ultimately fell, 2-3(25-13, 17-25, 27-29, 25-20, 10-15). Miami is now 8-6 overall and 0-2 in the MAC. The Broncos improve to 8-7 overall and 1-1 in the MAC.
Late in the fourth set, senior libero Madison Hardy recorded her 22nd dig of the match. That broke Melissa Zenz's ('09) all-time career record of 1,481 digs when liberos are included. Hardy finished the match with 24 digs and now has 1,484 for her career.
Sophomore middle hitter Jenny Ingle and sophomore outside hitter Annie Reiswig each had great matches for the RedHawks, tying for the team lead with 16 kills apiece. Ingle made only one attack error on 29 attempts to finish with a hitting percentage of .517. She also led Miami with six blocks (two solo and four assisted). Reiswig had only three attack errors on 37 attempts for a hitting percentage of .351. She also contributed six digs and assisted on two blocks.
Tied at eight in set one, the 'Hawks took control. A kill by Reiswig and a block from Ingle, along with two service aces by freshman middle hitter Paige Hill were part of a 9-1 run that put Miami in front, 17-9. After the Broncos scored a point, the Red and White responded with a 5-2 run that put the score out of reach at 22-12. Kills by Hill and freshman outside hitter Maris Below helped finish off a dominating 25-13 victory.
Western Michigan took a 10-6 lead to begin set two. Kills by sophomore outside hitter Sarah Chaney and Reiswig, along with a Bronco attack error cut the deficit to one. WMU eventually pushed the lead back to five at 19-14. Hill and junior outside hitter/setter Meg Riley each put down kills to pull within three, but the Broncos answered with a 6-1 run to close out a 25-17 win.
Miami fell behind by three points at 5-8 early in set three. The RedHawks would fight back several times during the middle part of the set, but could never quite tie the score. Trailing 17-20, a kill by Reiswig followed by a block from Ingle and Reiswig made it a one-point score. WMU answered with a kill, but back-to –back kills from Ingle and Reiswig off assists from freshman setter Krista Brakauskas finally tied the score at 21. The teams traded side outs until it was tied at 23. A service ace by Riley gave Miami set point, but WMU was able to fight it off. Chaney responded with a kill to give the 'Hawks another chance, but again the Broncos tied the score at 25. Western Michigan followed with two set points of its own, but this time Miami fought them both off. With the score tied at 27, the Broncos scored two in a row to earn a hard-fought, 29-27, win.
WMU led the majority of set four. The RedHawks were forced to call timeout after a Bronco kill put them behind, 14-17. Out of the break, a kill from Hill followed by two straight WMU attack errors tied the score and forced Western Michigan to call timeout. Miami kept going with a kill by Hill, a block from Hill and senior outside hitter Madison Dodd and a service ace by Riley to push the lead to 20-17. A service error ended the 6-0 run, but Hill came right back with a kill off of Riley's assist. In front, 22-20, a WMU attack error, a service ace by Brakauskas and a block by Riley and Ingle gave the RedHawks a come-from-behind, 25-20, victory.
A service ace by Hill and a block by Reiswig and Ingle gave Miami a quick 2-0 lead to begin the fifth and final set. The Broncos responded with three straight points to take the advantage before a Reiswig kill tied the score at three. Tied at five, a 7-1 run by WMU proved to be the difference as it gave the Broncos control at 12-6. Miami fought back with two straight blocks by Hill and Chaney, but the deficit proved to be too much to overcome as the Broncos held on for a 15-10 win.
Hill finished with 10 kills, five blocks (one solo, four assisted) and four service aces for the RedHawks. Riley had a double-double with 29 assists and 11 digs to go along with seven kills. Brakauskas had a double-double with 23 assists and 12 digs, while junior libero Tori Clifford finished with 13 digs.
Miami returns to action on Friday when it travels to 22nd-ranked Ohio for the first of two "Battle of the Bricks" matches this season. Match time is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The CREATE Foundation announcement that it will spend $278,000 of Toyota's money on a curriculum audit of eight school districts in Lee, Pontotoc and Union counties is good news for two reasons.
First, of course, is the districts will benefit from an assessment by Phi Delta Kappa International, a well-known association of educators, that will include specific recommendations for improving student learning.
But, perhaps more important, the announcement is a clear indication that Toyota intends to move ahead on honoring its commitment to help education in the area and build cars at its soon-to-be-completed Union County plant.
When Toyota decided to locate its plant here, the company agreed to give $50 million over 10 years to enhance education in the three counties. The first contribution of $5 million is due in May.
Mike Clayborne, president of the foundation, said the plan is to invest about $4 million of each contribution in an endowment fund and allocate up to $1 million a year to educational projects.
He also said the foundation will make a major announcement of another education project soon. He didn't say what that is, but it's no secret that the foundation intends to create a high-end vocational-technical education center. A similar center has been developed near a Toyota plant outside San Antonio.
We have yet to be convinced that that would be the best use for the money. Our region desperately needs comprehensive early childhood education and a focus on sending more students to college and the higher-paying careers that result from it.
But we also understand that Toyota wants to create something that Clayborne says will have a "significant lasting impact" and it is their money. So apparently we will have a vocational-technical center.
And we should also note that it is the state, not Toyota, that has the responsibility to provide enough money to move our public schools forward rapidly. So far it has failed to do that.

The ASPCA has been in Sandy-affected areas since the storm rescuing animals, reuniting them with their families, distributing critical supplies and providing critical veterinary care. The need was great right after the storm, and it's only growing now as more families' homes become uninhabitable and cold weather sets in. That's why we're continuing to expand our response to Sandy.
For the thousands of families without power, running water or even homes a week and a half after Superstorm Sandy, the ASPCA can't unload our pet supply trucks fast enough. Everywhere our trucks stop, we are met by a crowd of needy pet parents who eagerly snap up the supplies before we can pull away to the next distribution point.
Pets are all many families have left, and they are eager to take good care of them in spite of all they've lost. To date, we have distributed thousands of pounds of pet food and cat litter to areas of extreme need, and we are ramping up this effort and fielding more requests every day.
Our grants department is fielding requests of a different sort: pleas for help from shelters and other animal welfare groups affected by Sandy. We're expediting the process so these groups get the help they need immediately.
If you live far from the affected area, please don't look away from this catastrophe now. Animals and their pet parents need our help desperately, and we're working around the clock to meet their needs. To date, we have helped nearly 6,000 animals, and we don't expect this operation to wind down any time soon.
If you would like to contribute to our disaster relief fund, you can make a gift here. Every cent will go to ASPCA disaster relief efforts.
For updates on the ASPCA's response to Sandy and its repercussions, please keep an eye on the ASPCA blog and follow the ASPCA on Twitter.
There is a cat that was left on South Beach Long Island...there is no one take care of it and it is starving. Can anyone rescue it I live too far away.
I am the hockey director for a program located in south florida. many families now living in florida, originally came from the NY, NJ,CT,area. I would like to have the players participate in some sort of community service project to help the animals displaced or injured as a result of the storm. since many may donate items- food, litter, blankets, etc.- it will be hard to mail these items. is there a drop-off location in florida that I can bring the items to so they can make there way up north.
I live in Indiana, but would be interested in fostering a cat from either Sandy or a shelter. I know I'm too far away, but am willing to take care of any pet displaced/sheltered. Thanks for all you do, I really appreciate it!
I am a pet parent as well, and I know I would want the same for my cat, Letty :-)
I am feeling good to see that atleast animals are protected in safe hands!! :) :)

Confessions of a depressed comic
Kevin Breel didn't look like a depressed kid: team captain, at every party, funny and confident. But he tells the story of the night he realized that — to save his own life — he needed to say four simple words.

California's Economy: Do We Have One Left?
Our series on California closes on the troubling but pertinent issue of how the recession and other recent developments have effected the economy of our state. It will be addressed by Alfred Gobar, an economics consultant of local as well as national prominence; his biography appears in Who's Who in Orange County, Who's Who in California, and Who's Who in America.
Mr. Gobar was born on a large cattle and alfalfa ranch in Lucerne Valley and educated in Whittier through college. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Southern California, then taught economics at a variety of schools including USC and Cal State Fullerton.
Aside from his achievements in academics, Mr. Gobar is a prominent economic consultant in the business world. After ten years as a sales engineer, he entered consulting in 1964 and formed his own firm, Darley- Gobar Associates, which in 1969 became the second largest real estate economics consulting firm in the United States.
In 1973 the firm became known as Alfred Gobar Associates, Inc. and downsized to fifteen people to provide a higher quality product. This pursuit of high quality employees has been successful; several members of the staff have also been featured in various Who's Who publications. Their clients include major entitlement companies, banks, and cities such as San Diego and Chicago.
Please join us for this informative talk; Mr. Gobar will be giving us his very best due to his "sincere interest in avoiding embarassing Joe '93 in front of his peers." Please return the enclosed slip to join us for the 5:30 reception and 6:00 dinner, to be followed by the 7:00 talk.
Is God Good?
Why a loving God allows evil and suffering is one of the most pressing questions of our time. The classic statement of the problem follows: Either God is all-powerful but not all-good, and therefore doesn't stop evil; or God is all-good but unable to stop evil, in which case He is not all-powerful.
Many Christians believe that God is completely good, just, and loving. Such a God, however, stands in stark contrast to a world in which war, crime, corruption, oppression, starvation, and abuse are rampant.
The Claremont McKenna College Christian Fellowship cordially invites you to come and hear two of CMC's own distinguished professors, Stephen T. Davis and John K. Roth, discuss a question that has been hotly debated throughout history.
The evening's program will be highly unstructured. There will an open forum/question-and-answer session in which audience participation is highly encouraged.
Professor Davis received his Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary and his Ph.D. from the Claremont Graduate School before joining the CMC faculty in 1970. Professor Davis, although more commonly recognized as the Stags soccer coach, is also currently a pastor at United Presbyterian Church.
Professor Roth received both his M.A. and his Ph.D. from Yale University and has been a member of the CMC faculty since 1966. Best known for his studies on the Holocaust, Professor Roth has travelled as a visiting professor to institutes and universities around the world, as well as having been honored with the 1988 Professor of the Year Award for the United States and Canada by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.
Please return the enclosed slip to make your reservation to join-and participate-with us in the 5:30 reception and 6:00 dinner before the panel discussion at 7:00.

Jelly Roll Jazz Society: Roaring 20s
JAKE PORTER, conductor and saxophone
Some would say the Prohibition Era hit the Athenaeum last year, but on this night, the Jazz Age will be here in full swing. Break out the flapper dresses and Charleston hats-this event will remind you of scenes from The Great Gatsby (1925). The Athenaeum will be decked out in style, including a crystal ball over the dance floor.
During dinner, student performers will be playing jazz, creating an authentic dinner club atmosphere. After dinner, members of Jake Porter's band will take the stage. The Claremont Colleges Ballroom Dance Team will demonstrate the Charleston. After that, it's your turn to take the floor. Dance the Fox-Trot, Charleston, or just sway your hips to the finest jazz ever to hit The Claremont Colleges.
This is sure to be one of the most popular events, so don't delay in turning in your reservation slip for dining and dancing. To maximize our dancing time, dinner will begin at 5:30.
Literature and Criticism in Contemporary Americana
Literary criticism of the last several decades has become a wilderness of perplexing theories. Structuralism, deconstruction, and new historicism have eroded the power accorded to the author's imagination and a reality beyond the arbitrary use of language. Throughout these controversies Denis Donoghue has remained one of the most trenchant and sensible voices, an advocate of literature as a passionate pursuit of the real and a strong critic of the excesses of poets and theorists alike.
Widely recognized as one of the leading writers on American literature, Mr. Donoghue gained his perspective from his Irish roots. Born in Tullow, County Carlow in Ireland, Donoghue took all his degrees from University College, Dublin, and began teaching at Cambridge University. He was professor of modern English and American literature at University College. He currently holds the Henry James Chair of English and American Letters at New York University.
Donoghue is the author of numerous books, many of them classics of modern literary criticism. Few students of modern poetry or American literature are unfamiliar with Connoisseurs of Chaos: The Ideals of Order in Modern American Poetry (1984), The Ordinary Universe: Soundings of Modern Literature (1968), Ferocious Alphabets (1981), or Reading America: Essays on American Literature (1987). His frequent contributions to The New York Review of Books and The Times Literary Supplement are often among the most discussed essays of our time. His recent autobiography, Warrenpoint (1990), has been widely acclaimed as a brilliantly innovative contribution to the genre.
Please join us for what promises to be a provocative and informative perspective on modern American letters. Return the coupon for a reservation at the 5:30 reception and 6:00 dinner which will be followed by the lecture at 7:00.
Creativity in the Sciences and the Arts: How Can We Explain It?
Psychologists have gained a considerable understanding in recent years of how people solve problems. Can this understanding be extended from routine, everyday problem solving to the kind of activities, in science and art, that we call creativity? In the past decade, research has tackled this question, even to the point of constructing computer programs that simulate human creativity. Herbert Simon has been one of the harbingers in this exciting and new research.
Dr. Simon is Richard King Mellon University Professor of Computer Science and Psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, where he has taught since 1949. During the past thirty years he has been studying decision-making and problem-solving processes, using computers to simulate human thinking. He has published over 700 papers and 20 books and monographs, including his autobiography, Models of My Life (1991). Dr. Simon was educated at the University of Chicago, and his work has been recognized by honorary degrees from a number of universities.
Mr. Simon was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1967. He has received awards for his research from the American Psychological Association, the Association for Computing Machinery, the American Political Science Association, the American Economic Association, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. He received the Alfred Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 1978, and the National Medal of Science in 1986.
Mr. Simon has been chairman of the board of directors of the Social Science Research Council and of the Behavioral Science Division of the National Research Council and was a member of the President's Science Advisory Committee.
Please join us for an enlightening speech by Mr. Simon. The reception begins at 5:30, followed by dinner at 6:00 and lecture at 7:00.
Shakespeare: Who Is He?
CHARLES de VERE
Charles Francis Topham de Vere Beauclerk, Earl of Burford, is the founder of the De Vere Society at Oxford. The society's aim was to seek and, if possible, establish the truth concerning the authorship of the Shakespeare canon. The society took its name from Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, whom a growing number of people believe to have written under the pseudonym "William Shakespeare." Lord Burford, who is descended from Edward de Vere's grandfather, spoke last year to a standing-room-only audience in the Great Hall of the Folger Shakespeare Library, the first anti-Stratfordian to be so honored. This fall, sponsored by the Shakespeare Oxford Society, he returned to America for an eight-month speaking tour championing the Oxford thesis for student audiences across the nation.
Lord Burford's visit to Claremont is particularly timely. The Oxford thesis has enjoyed a wave of media coverage in recent years, with prominent articles in the New Yorker, British Heritage, Smithsonian, National Review, and the Atlantic Monthly, and TV specials on "Frontline" and "Firing Line." April 22 happens to be Edward de Vere's 442nd "birthday; April 23 is William Shakespeare's 428th birthday. Please join us to celebrate Shakespeare's birthday, whichever one he was. As always, return the enclosed slip for the 5:30 reception and 6:00 dinner before the 7:00 presentation. We will, of course, be serving an Elizabethan dinner.
CMC Senior Art Show
Reflections of Nature
Over the past four years we have had seniors who are art majors show their works to the college community. This year we invite you to visit the art project of Maluaka Harrison '92. Maluaka says her show will be "an exploration through various means of expressing/interpreting the importance and significance of the physical natural world and how it relates to my existence as a human being." The showing and reception will be from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., no reservations necessary.
Women and the Holocaust
The term Holocaust brings to mind horrible images of death and destruction. Even after 50 years, the "truth" about what really transpired is still being debated by scholars and politicians. Joan Ringelheim wants us to remember the suffering of all the people, in particular the experiences of the women in the Holocaust.
Dr. Ringelheim began her studies at Oberlin College, then transferred to Boston University where she received her bachelor's degree, as well as her master's and Ph.D. She has taught philosophy at De Pauw University, Connecticut College, and Wesleyan University. Course topics she has developed over the years include prejudice and oppression, guilt and shame, freedom and responsibility, and feminist theory. Eventually two subjects became the major foci of her teaching and research: the Holocaust and feminist theory.
In addition to her teaching. Dr. Ringelheim has received grants from the American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship, the Center for Humanities at Wesleyan University, and the New York Council for the Humanities to continue her research on women and the Holocaust. In 1983 she was one of the editors of the proceedings of the conference "Women Surviving: The Holocaust." She has recently published articles in The Simon Wiesenthal Annual, Vol. I (1984) and the feminist journal SIGNS. The latter article will be reprinted with an additional postscript in Different Voices: Women and the Holocaust, edited by John Roth and Carol Rittner. Currently she is working on her own book, entitled Double Jeopardy: Women and the Holocaust.
Please join us for an interesting perspective, sponsored by Hillel, the intercollegiate women's studies department, and the Athenaeum. Return the enclosed reservation slip in order to come to the 5:30 reception and 6:00 dinner. Dr. Ringelheim's presentation will follow at 7:00.
Director's Report
Another Athenaeum year is ending and a new one will begin in September. We already know that Susan Faludi and Seamus Heaney will be visiting us in 1992-93, and we are hard at work organizing another election special which will be topped off with a Maine lobster and Arkansas rib dinner (if the pollsters are correct) on Tuesday, November 3.
During this past year we hosted a number of series- Reflections on Today's U.S.S.R.; Southern California: The State of the State; Desert Storm-Desert Peace; 499 Years Ago; Legal Eagles (featuring CMC alumni with legal backgrounds); AIDS: Its Implications Today; and the very successful Academic Leaders (made up of eleven major academic figures). The Gould, Salvatori, and Keck centers and the John Brown Cook Association brought many guests which they shared with the Athenaeum. Our writer-in-residence was Ken Kesey, and we opened our season with John Densmore from The Doors. We hosted numerous musical events ending with Ellis Marsalis and Marcus Roberts at a musical tea.
All our programs are videotaped for public access television. The twice-a-week program has been very well received by the viewing audience. Our tapes are also made available to anyone who wishes to view a program.
The Athenaeum depends on each of you to bring in your suggestions for our list of over eighty speakers and programs hosted in this facility. Keep those ideas coming so that 1992-93 will be the Athenaeum's best year ever!
I thank you for your support, guidance, and enthusiasm during this past college year. Special kudos go to our three "Ath fellows," Scott Palmer, Elizabeth Pontefract, and Tyson Roberts; our student managers, Tobin Lopes and David Chenoweth; our manager, David Edwards; coordinator, Bonnie Snortum; secretary, Carol Bovett; and chef of chefs, David Skinner. We have all appreciated the guidance of the Athenaeum Advisory Committee, chaired by Sue Mansfield. Due to the efforts of many people at CMC, the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum continues to be a focal point of the College and the Claremont community.

Metal fans line up early to see Megadeth in Everett
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Twenty-year-old Taylor Dye, right, of the band Never Awake yells out to a passing tour bus while waiting in line outside of Comcast Arena in Everett Tuesday afternoon. Dye was hoping the tour bus belonged to members of Megadeth, who were headlining Gigantour Tuesday night.
By noon, they were noshing on slices from Brooklyn Bros. Pizza and wondering why more fans weren't lined up for the current "Gigantour" mega-production.
"They'll be here," said Taylor Dye, 20, the lead singer for Never Awake. "It's going to be packed with fan boys from throughout the Northwest. I just want to make sure that we're front and center on the floor."
It would be the first Megadeth concert for Dye and 19-year-old bandmates Jesse Weiss and Alex McDonald, who said the metal group inspires their own playlist.
"It's the quality of their musicianship and their high energy that encourages us," Dye said. "The heavy metal genre is a departure from the static stuff, the same four chords and time signatures you hear on the radio. Metal is much more diverse. Actually our band is more of a blend of Megadeth and Led Zeppelin."
Megadeth, whose members included bassist David Ellefson and guitarist Dave Mustaine, had its start in the early 1980s in Southern California. Three decades later, the band is touring North America in support of its new studio album "Super Collider."
The tour also was billed to include Black Label Society, fronted by former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde; Device, featuring Disturbed frontman David Draiman; Hellyeah featuring Pantera co-founder Vinnie Paul; Newsted, former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted's new band; and Death Division, featuring Jerry Montano, former Danzig bassist.
Royce Harris, 16, a junior and a choir member at Everett High School, and his friend Peter Smith, 17, a senior at Archbishop Murphy High School, were among the waiting crowd not dressed in black.
"It's so awesome that Megadeth would come to Everett and play at Comcast. I live right up the street, and to walk over to see one of the big four (metal) bands is amazing," Harris said. "I'm from a family that likes all kinds of music: rap, rock, country, jazz and classical. My dad's not into it, but once you get metal, you start to love it. Metal music talks a lot about politics, but then music has always been about what's going on in the world from your perspective."
Tuesday's concert followed a string of shows across Canada. In October, the Megadeth tour heads to South America, where crowds of fans have been known to sing the guitar riffs as they wait in line to get into the concert venues, Dye said.
"Maybe tonight, here in Everett," he said.

Questions & Answers
Low Price Guarantee
No need for any mounting hardware or support brackets. Just put under passenger seat over the rear fender and tie-down to the motorcycle frame using the attached leather tie-downs on each bag. You can easily choose how high or low you want to hang the bags by adjusting the center strap. These are designed not to flop around in the wind or get into the rear wheel and also to give adequate leg space for the passenger. They are going to haul a lot of stuff and will last many years to come. Each penny you spend here is worth more than a penny !!

This will look good and will fit most of the Harley Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, BMW motorcycles.
Comment: Very nice bags. They fit perfect on my `02 Magna. I like Jafrums products, I will be buying more stuff @ these great prices. Thanks Jafrum.
J.R. Holland
Pittsburg, Ks.
Comment: Great Product! Great Bags! - You can carry everything in these bags - Very Spacious - These bags hold up very well - You will not be disappointed!
Comment: The turn around time on shipping exceeded my expectations; was unbelievably fast. Quality of the saddlebags are just fine for the price. At first sight I knew I would treat them with a conditioner. However, I am very pleased with the quality of service and products. I will definitely be making future purchases and recommendations of Jafrum to other bikers. Keep up the good work and value pricing.
Memphis, TN
Comment: I placed these on my Vstar 650 and they fit perfectly. They look great, too. The rounded top and slight angle to the bags work really well with the stylization of the rear fender. The narrower height gives plenty of room over the pipes on this lower-riding bike.
Casa Grande, AZ
Comment: They are nice bags, but needed brackets for them for they were bigger then my others. Some think I payed $200 or more.
Danny Campbell
Dallas Tx.
Comment: I am so lucky I stumbled upon this website! I almost spent twice as much for a lesser quality bag! Shipping was very fast! Great quality for the price! These Exceeded my expectations by far! Will do business with Jafrum again for sure!
Daniel P.
Lehi, Utah

Shipping exceeded my expectations! I ordered them on a Monday and they were on my doorstep by Sat afternoon. Love them! I would recommend them in a heart beat. the quick release buckles work great and the bags look great! thanks Jafrum!

Comment: These bags look great and you cannot beat them for the price. Everyone thinks I paid over $200 for them. If I ever need new ones I will not waste my time shopping around again I will go straight to Jafrum.com.
Comment: These bags are awesome! Perfect for my V-Star 1100 Classic. Mounted perfectly under the seat with no modifications. Waterproof, heat resistant, quick release, great quality...what more can you ask for. Oh, and super fast shipping too.
Comment: These are some very nice bags. The time from order until they were on my motorcycle was 2 days. the bags look very good and seem to be a good quality.
Doug Bullard
Comment: These bags look awesome on my '02 Yamaha V-Star. The size and shape of the bags fit well with the contour of the rear fender and quick and painless to install. I read several reviews on different bags and ended up choosing theses because of the size, waterproof, heat resistant and stiffness of the bags. They are true in saying you don't need hardware or brackets, it really is fine and functions well; does not blow around in the wind. I just didn't like the look of them sitting on my bike, so I got brackets to hold them away from the fender. Completely happy with my purchase!

Comment: These bags look GREAT, fit perfectly and what a price. You just can't beat this deal. Would definitely buy from Jafrum again.
Comment: High quality, looks great, and is easy to install! I put on my Kawasaki Vulcan and am extremely pleased. Also very happy with the quick shipping! Definitely recommend.

Comments about Clarks Women's Poppy Bloom Privo Slip-On:
I bought these shoes as walking shoes for a planned trip to Europe. I ordered my normal size and they were too small so I had to return them (at my cost since I payed with PayPal!) and got a 1/2 size larger. Those fit better but since the sole is a bit thin, and I'm an older person with sensitive feet, I put an insole into the shoe and now they are absolutely perfect! The slightly larger size allowed me to use the added insole and I was really glad since that added a lot of comfort for all-day walking adventures. I've worn them around here to break them in and I couldn't be happier. They will be light and easy to pack and, should they get wet, they'll dry quickly. And besides, they actually look really nice too. These are keepers for sure!
One thing I've learned: Don't pay with PayPal since then you pay return postage which, in my case was about double what I would have been charged using the easy return option if you use a credit card. I'll never do that again! Lesson learned!

South African rugby's trophy cabinet has never been this full.
While the Boks finished the year on a disappointing note, it didn't change the fact that in 2009 they added the Tri-Nations trophy, Lions series trophy, Freedom Cup and Mandela Plate to the Webb Ellis Cup that they won in 2007. The Bulls, of course, claimed the Super 14 title for the second time while the Springbok Sevens team finally got their hands on the World Series trophy.
To celebrate these achievements, SA Rugby magazine assembled all of the above silverware and took a unique cover photo that makes its new bumper 150-page edition a collector's one.
Also in the new issue:
– Andries Bekker on his injury nightmare, learning from Victor Matfield and why the Stormers are better off without Luke Watson
– Why selection and tactical blunders were to blame for the Springboks' disastrous European trip
– Jaque Fourie on shrugging off life's disappointments, his contract dispute with the Lions, and mentoring Juan de Jongh at the Stormers
– Why the Southern Kings will only see Super Rugby if Saru makes some strong decisions and there is unity between the three provincial unions that make up the franchise
– Over a pint of Guinness, Munster centre Jean de Villiers talks about broadening his horizons, chirping Ronan O'Gara and his plans to return to South Africa in 2010

SANDY, Utah -- In the end, set pieces proved to be the fatal flaw of the LA Galaxy in 2013.
LA crashed out of the Western Conference Semifinals Series 2-1 to Real Salt Lake after dropping a 2-0 result to RSL at Rio Tinto Stadium. Both of the goals that RSL scored on the windy evening came directly or indirectly off set pieces with Chris Schuler's goal in the 101th one minute coming off a Javier Morales free kick.
In 2013, the Galaxy conceded 17 goals on set pieces: 15 in MLS play and the two in CONCACAF Champions League play. Meanwhile LA tallying just nine on dead ball chances—seven in MLS play and two in CCL. In comparison, in league play in 2012—albeit with David Beckham on the squad—LA scored 15 set piece goals allowing just nine.
After crashing out at Rio Tinto Stadium, LA's players gave their thoughts on the team's set piece deficiencies.
OMAR GONZALEZ: "A lot of things hurt us this season from set pieces to…that was the main thing. That's something we need to figure out, and tonight that hurt us again. It was the story of our year and tonight it ended up biting us in the butt."
LANDON DONOVAN: "They had a number of quality set pieces. Obviously, the wind blowing the way it was going was going to make it difficult, and we've got to give Schuler credit. He made a great play to get his foot on it and put it in. It's frustrating, you know at this point it's over with and you've got to learn. We know there are a number of areas where we fell short, and we just didn't get it done tonight."
ROBBIE KEANE: "Set pieces has kind of been our downfall the whole season, so I think we go away now and come back next year hopefully a stronger team as we reflect on this season, which I'm sure that Bruce [Arena] and the players certainly will, but that's life. That's the nature of the beast. That's what we're in this game for. It happens to the best of teams. Maybe this year, we probably weren't the best team, but we were certainly the team that people probably expected us to go on and win it, but in football, it doesn't happen like that, I'm afraid."
ROBBIE ROGERS: "Yeah, set pieces are a thing -- the whole team is responsible for that. I think over the course of the season, as long as I've been here, I think it's been one of our weaknesses, defending set pieces as a team. There have been a number of games where we've given away points at the end of the game off set pieces, and it's something that I'm sure will be addressed and worked on."
TODD DUNIVANT: "There were quite a few. We were sort of bending not breaking, and finally they broke through, and they were dangerous especially on their wide free kicks. I think that Morales was definitely putting in really dangerous balls behind our line and putting Jaime [Penedo] in difficult spots. Those were great balls and they finally got on the end of one. We defended well for long stretches and I think let our guard down on that one. Tip your hat to that them."
SANDY, Utah—Robbie Rogers had his opportunities, but in the end, he like the rest of the LA Galaxy attack were unable to help send the team through to the Western Conference Championship.
In 75 minutes of LA's extra time 2-0 defeat to Real Salt Lake that caused them to fall 2-1 in the Western Conference Semifinal Series, Rogers tied for the team lead in shots with five. Three of Rogers chances came during a seven minute span midway through the first half, but each of his efforts were sprayed just wide.
Throughout the match, Rogers was one of the more active players on the field for LA, but was unable to capitalize on the time and space afforded to him by the Salt Lake defense.
"We created chances," Robbie Rogers said. "That's, I guess, the difference between great players and mediocre players is when [great players] get those chances, they finish them. We just weren't good enough in front of goal and defending in front of our goal."
In the end, Rogers' struggles were emblematic of the entire team as of 22 chances; the Galaxy had just two shots on frame.
"That's not a great stat," Rogers admitted. "We'll obviously look at this game and see what we did right and what we did wrong, but probably over the course of the two games, we just didn't finish our chances and made it hard on ourselves."
A.J. DeLaGarza is set to begin his international career with Guam.
The LA Galaxy defender confirmed via his verified Twitter account on Friday that he'll be heading to play with the "Matao" during their upcoming friendlies against Laos and Cambodia in the November international period. Since the matches are friendlies, DeLaGarza will not be tied to Guam.
DeLaGarza received interest from Guam last November and commited to the nation earlier this year after racking up two caps for the U.S. National Team.
New challenge of my career starts Sunday. Traveling to Laos and Cambodia for a few friendlies with Guam. Then few days in Guam to see family

SANDY, Utah – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena's comments from LA's 2-1 aggregate defeat to Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference Semifinal.
(On the team's defeat…)
ARENA: "We didn't play well tonight or over 210 minutes. We really had our opportunities on Sunday to have a cushion coming in here and didn't do it. Tonight we failed on defensive set pieces. The win made the game terrible with the field conditions and all that, so it was a really sloppy game, a scrappy game, and they were more opportune on their set pieces than we were, and it was the difference in the game."
(On whether the season was a failure…)
ARENA: "I don't know about that, but these are tight games in the playoffs."
(On the play of Keane and Donovan…)
ARENA: "They were not factors tonight for us. Give Salt Lake credit, they played them well."
(On Penedo's play…)
ARENA: "Penedo had a very good game, you said? He was alright."
The conditions were both for teams with the hard field. This field is like playing on the street and it makes for balls bouncing a lot. The conditions were tough, but both teams have to play on these conditions and they played better than we did. They were very direct, they put balls behind us, put our backs under pressure, scrapped a lot, and were hectic in their attack and created some opportunities from that."
(On the second goal…)
ARENA: "The last goal, the referee [calls] the whole night like it's a boxing match and he calls that foul, but in all fairness, we shouldn't position ourselves to be called for a foul down there and they score. We had to be smart to place this game into penalty kicks once we got to overtime, and we didn't get it done."
SALT LAKE CITY -- We're just hours away from Thursday's Western Conference Semifinal Series second leg between the LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake. Remember LA advance with a win or a draw at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Below are a series of links, matchups to watch and a predicted score.
*There may be a risk for the LA Galaxy to be defensive-minded against an RSL, but the Galaxy are confident that they'll be able to attack a desperate RSL side.
*Could the Galaxy have a blueprint for success in their victory over Salt Lake in April?
*RSL are confident that their history of coming up short in big games will be changed on Thursday, but they'll do so without midfielder Ned Grabavoy.
*LAGalaxy.com's Larry Morgan previews the second leg.
*Lastly, my Three Points to the match.
Marcelo Sarvas vs. Kyle Beckerman
Stopping Beckerman will be key as he provides the main conduit between RSL and their attack. Preventing him from enjoying success is key to LA earning a victory.
Omar Gonzalez vs. Nat Borchers
Watch these two on each Galaxy set piece chance as Borchers and company have resorted to extremely physical tactics to limit Gonzalez's effectiveness.
Luis Gil vs. Todd Dunivant.
The wily youngster will look to cause consdierable problems for the Galaxy left back, but Dunivant will need a strong performance to keep him at bay.

Video Preview: LA Galaxy Insider previews the Western Conference Semifinal second leg against Real Salt Lake
Ahead of Thursday's match between the LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake, I previewed the match in this video piece for LAGalaxy.com
Check it out below..
SALT LAKE CITY -- Winning decisive matches at Rio Tinto Stadium have been a major problem for Real Salt Lake, but RSL aren't anticipating the same type of struggles in Thursday's Western Conference Semifinal Series second leg against the LA Galaxy.
In recent years, RSL has been faced with several opportunities to win silverware or close out a postseason series at Rio Tinto—most notably: the 2011 CONCACAF Champions League Final against Monterrey and the 2013 U.S. Open Cup vs. D.C. United—and fallen short each time.
This time around with LA up 1-0 on aggregate heading into the second leg, Salt Lake need a two goal victory to advance outright or a one goal advantage and risk penalty kicks. Even though RSL has not enjoyed much success in important matches at the stadium that they once labeled "the Fortress" they're hopeful of advancing against LA.
"I think that there's definitely magnified when it's a home game, but for us the way that I look at it, we're doing something good to get opportunities to win on our home soil," said RSL captain Kyle Beckerman in a conference call with reporters earlier this week. "There's been some good games where we've won… I feel confident, we keep putting ourselves in the opportunities and we're going to succeed in one of these.
"It's a big task. They're a very dangerous team and they'll get the best out of themselves in the playoffs. It would have been tough regardless, but we just have to go in with a confident mindset," Beckerman continued. "We'll see what happens early… but the advantage is there. It's at our place, we have the altitude so we're feeling alright and really excited to get to Thursday to see what happens."
NOTES: RSL will not have the services of midfielder Ned Grabavoy due to a hamstring strain. It's likely that spritely midfielder Sebastian Velasquez will take his spot in the lineup…A near sellout is expected at Rio Tinto Stadium on Thursday with more than 70 LA Galaxy fans in attendance.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy may need just a draw to advance to the Western Conference Championship, but the team isn't anticipating putting in a measured performance against Real Salt lake at Rio Tinto Stadium—they're going for the victory.
With LA up 1-0 on aggregate in their Western Conference Semifinal Series heading into the second leg, the onus will be on Salt Lake to attack early, but with RSL expected to dominate possession, the Galaxy should have opportunities on the counterattack. Although that is the expected narrative to start, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena would like his team to wrestle control of the tempo from the start.
"The way that you start the game is important. You have to be good and solid to start the game. We'd like to be ahead at halftime, that's one way to look at it," said Arena." If we can do that we'll be in really good position."
The stats confirm Arena's comments as the Galaxy are 13-2-3 in MLS play in 2013 when scoring first and 8-1-0 when leading at the half. The lone defeat when leading at the half came on June 29 at Stanford Stadium during their dramatic 3-2 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes .
Although the simple strategy would be to pack numbers in the box and hold the slim lead, Landon Donovan is confident that the Galaxy aren't going to Utah to simply hold a lead, but add to it.
"We have to be very good defensively, but we're not going there to defend for 90 minutes, we're going there to try to keep the ball and move the ball and put them under pressure too," said Donovan. "You'd do think that the game is going to look open at times and the added pressure of having to win is the expectation.
"I'm sure that they're not going to go crazy because the reality is that they just need a goal at some point," added Donovan. "For us the mentality is to be aggressive and get around the ball and get after the ball, but also when we have chances to possess and go forward. We're going there to win the game, we're not going there to get a tie."

Josh Taylor was overlooked by many Division I colleges.
The four-year starting quarterback for the New Bern Bears owns nearly every offensive category in the school's illustrious history.
Taylor, who led the Bears to the 4-A state championship on Nov. 30, signed with

"(Josh) was about that far away from being offered by several big schools," Curlings said. "Because of his height, people didn't offer him a scholarship and tried to get him to walk-on, knowing that he would probably earn one.
"They wanted to get him on campus and work with him first hand before putting money on the table."

"What (Doeren) expects him to do is go in there and compete for a job," Curlings said. "He told him point blank, with me standing there, 'I'm not just getting you on the team to be a practice player. I want you to go in with a chip on your shoulder and compete for the job.
"They watched his film and saw how mobile he is. That's the type of offense they want to get into."
