|Applications of gel electrophoresis in quantum dot conjugates' separation and purification
|Wang, Luxin, 1983-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|The objectives of this study were to build Quantum dot (QD) crosslinker complexes for antibody conjugation usage, to purify QD crosslinker complexes by gel electrophoresis and to check the biological functionalities of eluted QD crosslinker complexes recovered from gel electrophoresis by cell based microarray. Zero-length crosslinker 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) was chosen to be the first crosslinkers, followed by the conjugation with secondary crosslinker protein A. The purpose of adding secondary crosslinkers was to make uniform QD crosslinker complexes. Due to the high affinity between protein A and the Fc region of antibodies, QD EDC protein A complexes were in uniform structures and all antigen binding sites faced outwardly. Gel electrophoresis is a method used for separating DNA, RNA or proteins in biological studies. In this study, gel electrophoresis was adopted to check the complete conjugation between QDs and protein A. In addition, it was successfully used as a separation method for purifying conjugated QDs. GeBaflex tubes were used to elute the conjugated QDs from the gel, these recovered QD EDC protein A complexes showed their biological functionalities in cell based microarray studies.

This house had everything we could have asked for and more. Incredible views, privacy, indoor and outdoor ammentities. Everything was provided to make our 8 night stay a vacation we'll remember for years to come. We've been home less than 24 hours and we miss it already. Can't wait to return.
If you want to feel secluded without being secluded this getaway offers the best of both worlds. Private ocean front home tucked away in the trees allows for complete solitude and breathtaking views yet my wife and I could walk to the Fairwinds Golf Course for brunch or wonder through the neighbourhood with the local deer. We loved it.
The home lacked for nothing with a fully equiped kitchen, hot tub, media room, internet but we chose to spend most of our time exploring the rocky beach and snuggling in front of the fire with a glass of wine.
We can't wait for another chance to visit.

Pics of My Feet?
Okay this guy friend of mine had a few different pics of my feet on his cell (I know they were mine because of they were taken of my senior pics on... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I have a love for female feet. I don't call it a fetish because a fetish implies you can only get off when a certain element not typically associated with sex is present. That is not my case. While I have incorporated feet into my sexual acts, there have been girls who weren't into it and so I respected that.
Now I personally do have photos of some of my female friends' feet. But my friends know about them and are ok with me having them. I am an artist and have asked a couple of them to model for me and I have drawn their feet. The benefit they receive from this is they know where to go to get an amazing foot massage (a couple of them take full advantage of this).
Are you bothered by your friend having these pictures on his phone because you're self-conscious about what your feet look like? Or are you just bothered because he has them and you didn't give him permission? I'm going to say they're most likely on his phone because he likes your feet. Does that bother you? If it does you might want to ask if he'll delete the photos. I may be biased, but I say take it as a compliment... unless he's being creepy about it, in which case be assertive and let him know how you feel.
I'm mainly asking because it made me feel really self-conscious about my feet, because they're not the perfect feet haha. I felt like it was a joke :( It wouldn't really bother me if I knew the truth. Maybe a little weird but okay. He kept repeating that he'd never do anything to hurt me (we're friends, about 2-3 years) but then today he said he would go after me if he didn't have a girlfriend. So he must like me. My feet look a lot like Lauren Conrads. Can you take a look at a pic & tell me....
What Guys Said 4
Hello Anonymous,
A quick side note. I love your work in the hacking world. It is good to know someone can stick it to the FBI! Anywho, on to your worldly cares. So you are self-conscious of your feet? I understand being self-conscious. I am the kind of person that, if someone compliments me on something, I immediately think of all the things that are wrong with whatever that person just complimented me on.
For example, if someone says they like my smile, I immediately think of everything that is wrong with my teeth. I don't believe they are being sincere. I become self-conscious.
Dear Anonymous, you must trust that whoever took the pictures, this person definitely finds you and your feet attractive. Congratulations! You should totally play that up! Start wearing nice shoes, start flaunting your feet and legs. Have fun with it and be proud!
Please understand that your friend was certainly not making fun of you. I can promise you that. Guys don't keep pictures of things they don't like or find attractive. Guys are very much visual creatures, visuals really affect us in powerful ways. Take comfort in the fact that you were not being mocked, you were honestly being celebrated.
Your Foot Friend,
Will JailBird Jayroe
What Girls Said 1
Unless you have awful feet that you think he would be making fun of, he probably has a foot fetish. It's when a guy derives sexual pleasure by looking at or playing with feet. I realize it sounds far-out but it is out there. Google it.
My feet aren't the worst out there. My 2nd & 3rd toes are just a little longer then my big toe. I have tiny feet, 6.5. I've noticed a lot of girls have toes like mine. Even celebs do. My feet kinda look like Victoria Beckams, just without the bulge on the side from her heels!
- Show Older Hide Older
Take that back. They're more like Lauren Conrads...I was just looking at VB's at a certain angle. LC has the same toes as me!!
lauren conrad's feet are pretty hot. id suck her toes

Scott Rosenberg Leaves Marvel; Acquires 50 Percent of Platinum Studios
This partnership teams up Rosenberg with Europe's #1 comic book property rights holder, Ervin Rustemagic'. The two will jointly run the company, and will be represented by the William Morris Agency for all Platinum Studios properties for feature films and television. "The comic industry is going through major changes and the industry leadership is changing hands," said Katzman. "Rosenberg keeps giving entertainment consumers exactly what they want, and his deal with Platinum is another example of his talent for staying one step ahead of the latest trend." WMA has assembled a full team for the Platinum Studios library headed by Paul Bricault, and includes agents Alan Gasmer for feature films and Mark Itkin for television projects.
Rosenberg departs Marvel/Malibu after serving his dual role as Executive VP/President since he sold Malibu Comics to Marvel in 1994. Rosenberg founded Malibu Comics in 1986, and has since developed its renowned library of over 200 characters and properties, including the much anticipated summer release, Men In Black.
Rosenberg also has an ongoing producer deal for all Malibu Comics properties. He will serve as executive producer on the upcoming Glen Larson series Night Man which Tribune Entertainment, in partnership with Village Roadshow and TF1, has announced and already cleared for 22 episodes starting Fall 1997. Rosenberg will also be executive producer of the upcoming Universal live action film, Prime.
Platinum Studios specializes in distinctly non-superhero characters which span genres from action-adventure and fantasy to historical, romance, science fiction and horror. The Europe-based company was founded by publisher Ervin Rustemagic' in 1971 and has more than a thousand separate properties. The company also has relationships with top-flight comic book publishers throughout the world. Much of Europe's most sought-after artists have exclusive relationships with the company, with such European superstars as the multiple-award-winning Hermann. Hermann's fans are known to stand in line hours for his autograph, and his stories are read in 20 countries. His best- selling series, Jeremiah, the story of a futuristic America devastated by racial wars, is said to have influenced George Miller when he created Mad Max. Other highlights of the acquisition include a comic book hero based in America that has sold more than a half-billion copies worldwide (although never sold in America), and a series entitled Martin Y (a cross between James Bond, The X-Files, Outer Limits and Carmen Sandiego), which is currently experiencing phenomenal popularity in Italy.
"Rosenberg has proven that he can create comic-to-film projects. With Men In Black, Night Man and the upcoming Prime, 1997 looks to be Rosenberg's year," said Katzman. "Platinum Studios library is one of the largest sources of new properties we've seen in years. This deal gives William Morris the chance to put together international partners for these projects."
Rosenberg and Rustemagic' agree that the opportunities with Platinum are substantial. "The art from Platinum Studios is displayed at art shows around the world and the artists are revered as international celebrities," said Rustemagic'. Rosenberg added, "I am looking forward to working with these internationally acclaimed artists and developing these properties for movies and television."
For further information regarding Scott Rosenberg or the Platinum Studios library, contact Paul Bricault at the William Morris Agency, 151 El Camino Drive, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210 or call (310) 859-4000.

Staff Reporter
BANGALORE: The Karnataka High Court on Saturday criticised the State Government when it expressed its inability to provide ramps and other facilities in government buildings for people with disabilities.
A Division Bench comprising Justice V. Gopala Gowda and Justice A.S. Bopanna expressed dismay and anguish at the manner in which the Government had filed an affidavit on the issue.
The Bench was hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) petition by Simharaju of J.P. Nagar in Bangalore seeking better facilities in government buildings for people with disabilities.
Refusing to take the affidavit on record, the Bench castigated the State Government for its indifferent attitude towards people with disabilities.
In the affidavit, the Government said there were 10,000 buildings, and it could not build ramps and other facilities in all of them.
The Government said that facilities for people with disabilities could be provided only in new buildings. However, facilities were being provided wherever it was possible.
The Bench sought to know what people with disabilities could do if the Government had such an indifferent attitude and handed back the affidavit to it.
The Bench adjourned further hearing of the case.

The latest news, notes and analysis on the Marquette men's basketball team
MU falls five spots to No. 13
Losses to then-No. 2 Connecticut and No. 6 Louisville last week didn't affect the Marquette Golden Eagles all that much in the eyes of the media.
MU (23-6, 12-4 Big East) dropped just five spots to No. 13 in the Associated Press' poll, which was released on Monday afternoon.
UConn, which is in first place in the Big East heading into the final week of the regular season, regained its spot at No. 1 after a one-week hiatus. Pittsburgh, which spent last week in the top spot after knocking off the Huskies, dropped to No. 3.
Louisville, which is right on the heels of UConn in the league standings, remained at No. 6.
The Golden Eagles travel to face Pittsburgh at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, in a game that will have implications for their seeding in both the Big East and NCAA tournaments. They then close out the regular season with a 1 p.m. Saturday game against No. 25 Syracuse.
That game, which will be Senior Day at the Bradley Center, has long been sold out.
MU coach Buzz Williams and guard Dominic James, who's out for the season after undergoing surgery for a fractured left foot on Friday, are scheduled to meet with the media at 2 p.m., so check back later this afternoon for more updates.

About the vinyl structure on roof or seats, try this...(I wrote it in the '78 MC thread a while ago)!
The vinyl structure I made with ethyl acetate and a bristle brush. Here are some pictures from the making of vinyl structure what I did on my '67 Charger (the Revell kit). This kit also have no vinyl roof but it is not a mistake, Chargers are build with and without vinyl roof. But I want to have a Charger with it because I build my best friends original car (it is a "White Hat Special Charger" Edition).
You need ethyl acetate and a bristle brush
Then you coat the roof with ethyl acetate step by step, and with the old bristle brush you presses the structure into the softened plastic, repeat it until the structure is real. The next pictures are looking "wild"....
After painting with semi gloss black the vinyl is looking like this...
The same way I did it on the '78 MC.
Your Invicta is very very beautifull . I love these cars from the'50s.
Greetings from Germany

I have to give that a try..........there's a hardware store right up the road from me, that should have ethyl acetate.
Ya learn something new everyday! :mrgreen:

This past week I've been struggling with the dashboard as it had to be modified somewhat to fit with the new interior. I can tell you it was a real ^%@#$?!!*! to get this thing to be the way I wanted it! I think because this is a repop and not the original kit is why I was having difficulties. Don Holthaus obviously uses a much thinner "glass" than the original (a GOOD thing!) which is what made the dash ill fitting in respect to the cowl.
Anyway......here's what I've done to date.........
Since I don't like just epoxying dashboards in place........running the risk of smearing the windshield with epoxy..............I like to run a support beam across the cowl to place the dash. The ensures that the dash will sit at the right height and not depend on the side panels for support.
Here's how it would look from a top view.......
Here's the somewhat completed dash............it took several painting tries to get this right! For some reason I couldn't get the paint I used for the seats to come out a different shade for the dash without it coming out looking really puckey! Taking a tip from Peter Lepold, I used Humbrol #9 brown paint on the dash and then put it in the dehydrator for about 4 hours at 105 degrees.
On the steering wheel, I cut out the molded in horn ring and replaced it with one I made from bead wire................I simply wrapped the wire around something of like diameter, and then soldered the ends together. I think it looks a lot more realistic than that too thick piece that was molded on. On the inside diameter of the ring, I flowed some epoxy on the "spoke", let dry, then painted it black, and then painted it with Alclad to get the nice bright polished aluminum look.
There was nothing I could do about the center badge..............I think it's supposed to say "Power Steering" or something like that.
Here's the dash as it now sits in the car sans the interior...............I have added a gearshift selector and turn signal stalk this time............something I forgot on the '61 Cadillac! I may try to paint the windshield pillars........I wanted to add plastic to cover that area, but I'm afraid it will come out looking too "bulky" in those sections.
The interior side panels were painted this morning and are in the dehydrator as this is written...........they're pretty quite plain with just a white stripe to distinguish them a bit. They'll be detailed with handles and the stripes and then I can get the front and rear bumpers, tailights on, and call this one DONE!
BTW, I noticed as of today there are 1522 HITS of this thread!! All I can say is thank so much for taking the time to look. I'll have to admit that this may be the last model from me for a while as I will be moving (AGAIN :! so until I get settled there won't be much model doings!
Thanks for lookin'!

Overturning California ban on gay marriages, the apex court has stricken down law denying federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples
By a 5-4 majority, the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday issued a much-anticipated ruling that determined as unconstitutional the 1996 Defence of Marriage Act (DOMA), which denies federal government benefits to legally married same-sex couples, on the grounds that it violates the Fifth Amendment, which protects against abuse of government authority.
Linked to the framework of the DOMA decision, the court also declined to issue a ruling on Proposition 8, the State of California ban on same-sex marriages, and this is likely to open up channel for such unions there going forward.
However, the court has held back from any sweeping decision on gay marriage per se and thus this week's ruling will not affect state laws governing whether same-sex couples can marry.
Instead it will ensure that same-sex couples who are legally married under state law receive federal benefits, delivered by more than 1,000 programmes, on par with heterosexual married couples.
In striking down DOMA, which was signed into law by the former President, Bill Clinton, at a time when gay marriage was widely opposed by the American public, the Supreme Court said in its majority opinion, "The federal statute is invalid for, no legitimate purpose overcomes the purpose and effect to disparage and injure those whom the State, by its marriage laws, sought to protect in personhood and dignity."
President Barack Obama welcomed the decision saying in a statement that DOMA was "discrimination enshrined in law," and that the Supreme Court "has righted that wrong, and our country is better off for it."
While he conceded that same-sex marriage was still a "sensitive" issue and "How religious institutions define and consecrate marriage has always been up to those institutions," Mr. Obama said his administration would seek to "review all relevant federal statutes to ensure this decision, including its implications for Federal benefits and obligations, is implemented swiftly and smoothly.
The ruling will also matter to the ongoing visceral debate on immigration reform, particularly to the approximately 24,700 bi-national LGBT couples in the U.S., from among whom U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents may now be able to sponsor their foreign-born spouses for green cards.
Justice Anthony M. Kennedy who wrote the opinion along with the four "liberal-leaning justices," Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, added, "By seeking to displace this protection and treating those persons as living in marriages less respected than others, the federal statute is in violation of the Fifth Amendment."

Mora: Teams think Seahawks are soft
Updated: December 16, 2009, 8:56 PM ETAssociated Press
RENTON, Wash. -- Mike Singletary had a message for his 49ers the night before San Francisco played the Seattle Seahawks recently.
According to Seattle coach Jim Mora, Singletary said: "If you walk into Seattle and punch them in the face, they won't react."
"I know that's what Mike Singletary said on Saturday night before we played them two weeks ago," Mora said Wednesday during a fist-pounding rant in which he sought more meanness -- more "dirtbags" -- on his 5-8 team.

Hyundai Xcent, the latest compact family sedan from Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL), has received over 500 bookings in Tamil Nadu, a senior company official said today.
Being the new benchmark of the company, the Xcent has good booking across the nation and Tamil Nadu was not lagging behind with the bookings already crossing 500 mark, HMIL Regional Manager (TN) V Ramachandran said on the sidelines of the launch of the vehicle.
With "good response" for the vehicle, the waiting period for the delivery would be about two months and as such the company had not fixed any sales target, he said.
The car would compete in the segment served by the Honda Amaze and Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire, among others, Ramachandran said. He refused to comment on the recall of Dzire and its positive impact on Xcent.
It is being offered here at an introductory ex-showroom price of Rs 4.67 lakh for the petrol and Rs 5.53 lakh for the diesel variant respectively, going up to Rs 7.51 lakh for the top end diesel variant.

NFL Pick – Week 3
There are only six unbeaten teams left in the NFL, and two of them square off this weekend in San Diego. The Chargers have gotten a horribly slow start year after year for so long, but this year San Diego is off to a quick start. Atlanta held off Denver on Monday Night Football, and the Falcons look like one of the better teams in the NFC. Which team will start 3-0 this season?
Game Overview:
Matt Ryan has yet to have any success in the postseason, but it seems like he and the Falcons have a team to do some damage this year. Ryan arguably has the best group of pass catchers in the entire NFL. Julio Jones and Roddy White are both dominating receivers who can get open on almost anyone. In addition, Tony Gonzalez is still one of the most reliable tight ends in the league. Ryan has five touchdowns and zero interceptions and a 70% completion percentage so far this year. Michael Turner was arrested following last week's win, and he is questionable for this contest. Look for Atlanta to have one of the best offenses in the NFL all year.
Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan deserves a ton of credit for the team's win over Peyton Manning and the Broncos on Monday night. Nolan drew up some of the most interesting defensive schemes that you'll ever see, and it clearly confused Manning. The Falcons were constantly moving around on defense, and that led to three interceptions in the first nine minutes of the game. If Atlanta keeps disguising its defenses so well, they will be a difficult group to deal with.
It's shocking to see San Diego off to a fast start, because this is a team that always starts slow and ends the regular season playing well. Norv Turner's bunch has actually played solid football to start off the year, and now Chargers fans can only hope they'll continue to improve and play their best again at the end of the year. Phillip Rivers has completed 73.8% of his passes so far this year, and he has four touchdowns compared to just one interception. Ryan Matthews missed the Chargers first two games, but he is expected to be the starting running back this week. Malcolm Floyd has racked up 175 receiving yards in the first two weeks. Antonio Gates missed last week's game, and he is questionable for this one due to a rib injury.
The Chargers defense has only allowed 41.5 rushing yards per game through the first two weeks. San Diego ranks first in the NFL against the run. The Chargers rank third in the NFL in total defense overall. Opponents are scoring just 12 points per game against the Chargers. Special teams were a huge issue the last couple years, but San Diego has been good on special teams so far this year. If the defense can continue to play this well, the Chargers will be tough this season.
Free NFL Pick: Falcons +3
Atlanta has been the more consistent team over the last couple years, and I really liked what they did on defense this past Monday. I'll take the underdog in what should be a very tight game.
Atlanta 27 San Diego 24

San Jose, California, April 6, 2010 Chronix Biomedical today announced publication of a study that supports the utility of its serum DNA blood tests to predict clinical status and monitor disease activity and response to treatment in multiple sclerosis (MS). Chronix Biomedical uses proprietary technology to identify disease-specific genetic fingerprints based on the circulating DNA that is released into the bloodstream by damaged and dying cells. A growing body of publications from Chronix and other researchers shows that this circulating DNA can be identified and analyzed to provide a diagnostic window into ongoing changes in the genome associated with specific diseaseschanges that can be used to track the presence or absence of active disease. This new study is the first to show that the Chronix approach can be used to monitor the clinical status of a chronic disease. The findings are published in the current online edition of the Journal of Molecular Diagnostics.*
"These positive data further validate the premise underlying the Chronix approach, showing that the many genetic anomalies associated with active and stable relapsing-remitting MS can be detected by analyzing DNA fragments circulating in the blood serum," said Mario Clerici, M.D., Chair of Immunology, Department of Biomedical Sciences and Technologies, University of Milano, Milan, Italy and a co-author of the study. "The prognostic value achieved in this study supports the ability of this new approach to help manage relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, potentially offering clinicians a new tool to easily assess which MS treatment options are most effective for their patients, as well as providing critical information that will facilitate development of the next generation of MS therapeutics."
In the study, researchers applied advanced analytical techniques developed by Chronix to identify genomic DNA fingerprints in the bloodstream of 28 MS patients known to have r

Fires in Central Africa
April 5, 2013
The fire season in central Africa roared to life in the first week of May. When the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite passed over the region on the afternoon of May 6, 2004, it captured this image along with nearly 4,000 fire detections (marked in yellow) in southern Democratic Republic of Congo (top right) and northern Angola (bottom left). Each year, the region experiences widespread agricultural burning (for example, pasture renewal and land clearing.) The widespread nature of the fires pictured here and the time of year suggest that the fires are being set intentionally for agricultural purposes. Though not necessarily immediately hazardous, such large-scale burning can have a strong impact on weather, climate, human health, and natural resources. The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at additional resolutions.

Google Inc. (GOOG) will cooperate with privacy regulators looking into how its advertising "cookies" were enabled by Apple Inc. (AAPL)'s Safari Internet browser.
Google has been removing the files since discovering that a temporary link created between Safari and Google's servers enabled other ad cookies to be set on the browser program, the company said today. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier that Google is being investigated by U.S. and European Union regulators for using Safari users' information and bypassing the Apple software's privacy settings.
"We will of course cooperate with any officials who have questions," Mountain View, California-based Google said in an e-mailed statement. "We didn't anticipate this would happen, and we have been removing these advertising cookies from Safari."
Google's privacy policy is under review by France's data- protection agency acting on behalf of other European regulators. The world's largest Web-search provider defied two requests by the National Commission for Computing and Civil Liberties, known by its French acronym as CNIL, to suspend changes to the policy while it was determined whether those changes comply with European privacy standards.
CNIL is preparing a list of questions to send to Google next week, a spokeswoman for the agency said today. She declined to comment on whether the questionnaire would cover the Safari cookies, and declined to be cited by name, citing CNIL policy.
European regulators "are very concerned, because they are persuaded that these new rules are not at all compliant with the existing European laws," EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding said March 1, when Google's privacy changes took effect.

NEW ORLEANS -- More motions were filled in bankruptcy court Wednesday in the battle over which member of the Brennan family gets to use the iconic Brennan restaurant logo and name.
And while that answer could come next week, the historic restaurant in the French Quarter is on schedule to open soon.
Construction workers are into the heavy lifting renovating 1795 Royal St., home of the former Brennan's restaurant.
Architect John C. Williams said he's had no problems getting changes approved by the Vieux Carre' Commission.
'Several months ago in November, we got the project approved for permit. And as all projects that are renovations, sometimes they need some tweaking and changing, so we make sure that we're coming back to the Vieux Carre' Architectural Committee,' said Williams.
Wednesday's meeting was no different -- a few more internal tweaks to some glass and an internal courtyard sailed through.
Owner Ralph Brennan told Eyewitness News that he plans to open the new restaurant by September. He will not tell us what type of food or the style it will be, but he says if he is unable to acquire that famous Brennan's logo and rooster brand, there's always been an alternative plan in place.
And that's the bigger battle. Former owner, cousin Ted Brennan, said he 'retains the name 'Brennan's,' the rooster logo and 'Breakfast at Brennan's - trademarks which Brennan's Inc. has owned for over fifty years.'
He and his three children '.....have revealed their plans of opening Brennan's Restaurant elsewhere in the French Quarter - of which a location has already been decided, along with their executive chef, Lazone Randolph and reunite other key personnel.'
And we could get the answer next Wednesday from a bankruptcy hearing. That will determine if Ted Brennan can use the name to operate his new business and pay off millions in debt or if Ralph Brennan, who owns several other restaurants, will be able to buy the logo and trademarked recipes.
The architect said the iconic building in the 400 block of Royal Street will remain a shade of pink.
Full statement from Bridget Brennan Tyrrell on behalf of Ted Brennan:
'Ted Brennan, as Brennan's owner and president, retain the name 'Brennan's,' the rooster logo and 'Breakfast at Brennan's - trademarks which Brennan's Inc. has owned for over fifty years. Ted, his daughter Bridget Brennan Tyrrell and her siblings, Alana Brennan Mueller and Theodore M. 'Teddy' Brennan, have revealed their plans of opening Brennan's Restaurant elsewhere in the French Quarter - of which a location has already been decided, along with their executive chef, Lazone Randolph and reunite other key personnel.
'Brennan's Inc. Was put into an involuntary chapter 7 bankruptcy, brought on by three creditors to the tune of $60,000. Unless its motion to convert to a chapter 11 bankruptcy is successful - a hearing of which will take place on Wednesday, June 11th - cousin Ralph Brennan and Terry White have put in a bid for $3 million to purchase the trademarks and everything that goes with the Brennan's operations: Including recipes, web site, email accounts, customer lists, and other miscellaneous items - unless they are outbid by third parties. Over the past year, Ralph and Terry have intentionally bought a significant amount of Brennan's Inc.'s debts and seized all of its assets, in an attempt to prevent Brennan's Inc. from paying it's debts to third parties, in an effort to force the corporation to sell their trademarks.
'The corporation's chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee, Ronald Hof, through his attorneys of Stewart, Robbins & Brown, LLC and Ralph and Terry, through their attorneys of Baker, Donaldson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC, have filed oppositions today to Brennan's Inc.'s motion to convert into a chapter 11 bankruptcy. If Ted and his family are successful in moving into a chapter 11 bankruptcy, they would be able to reorganize, pay off its debts and maintain all of its trademarks for their future restaurant.'
There is a scheduled hearing June 12 about the sale of Brennan's Inc. assets.

During its partnership, TAG Heuer Avant-Garde Eyewear closely worked with ORACLE TEAM USA to equip the sailing crew with perfectly adapted sunglasses, with accurate Watersport lenses. This collaboration resulted in ORACLE TEAM USA skipper Jimmy Spithill helping to design a specific frame based on a TAG Heuer Racer pair of sunglasses. This unique piece was specially developed for the Sailing Crew, who wore them during the 34th America's Cup Finals.
Last September, in San Francisco bay, ORACLE TEAM USA completed a thrilling come-from-behind victory. Down by a seemingly insurmountable 8-1 score in the best-of-17 regatta, ORACLE TEAM USA won an astounding eight consecutive races over Emirates Team New Zealand to pull off one of the greatest comebacks in elite sport.
"We are extremely proud of every member of this extraordinary crew and every component on this incredible boat," said Stéphane Linder, TAG Heuer CEO and President, after the final race in San Francisco Bay on September 25th.
To celebrate the victory, TAG Heuer Avant-Garde Eyewear decided to pay tribute to this stunning victory by producing a limited edition of the sunglasses worn by ORACLE TEAM USA. "We wanted to create something really special, to remember this amazing moment of sport. Therefore, we proposed to ORACLE TEAM USA to integrate a piece of their AC72 boat into these sunglasses. They really liked this idea!", explained Stéphane Linder.
The TAG Heuer RACER "ORACLE TEAM USA 34th America's Cup winner" Limited Edition combine two different types of high-tech materials: the Grilamid TR90, a nylon well known for its resistancy, lightness and shape memory, and the carbon fiber coming from a piece of ORACLE TEAM USA AC72 boat. This unique design has been produced in 1500 numbered products.

And yes, it went as well as we would expect. Which is totally awesome. Check it out...
Really, all you gotta do these days is give them enough rope and they will, uh, talk about hangings and stuff they seem to pine for back in the good ol days.
Conservative freedom hero Cliven Bundy has announced he will have daily press briefings, and if they go like this one did, then Sean Hannity might need to find a new outrage this week.
"I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro," he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, "and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids — and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch — they didn't have nothing to do. They didn't have nothing for their kids to do. They didn't have nothing for their young girls to do"There's no more freedom more essential than freedom of dumb speech, and we should hope this jagoff continues to show everyone his intolerance and extremist views. And it sounds like he is planning on doing just that:
"And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?" he asked. "They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I've often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn't get no more freedom. They got less freedom."
He said he would continue holding a daily news conference; on Saturday, it drew one reporter and one photographer, so Mr. Bundy used the time to officiate at what was in effect a town meeting with supporters, discussing, in a long, loping discourse, the prevalence of abortion, the abuses of welfare and his views on race.H/T to Chris Hayes on Twitter for teeing this up. Hopefully this gets as much attention as their freedom militias did when they stared down the Feds.
***SMALL THX UPDATE: Hey thanks for the recs! Been a long time since I diaried. Last time I was on the rec list was for posting a false flag Fitzmas a few years back. How time flies. But much appreciated and happy to spread the word on this loser!

I think that this directly influences the motion of the strokes themselves as you do seem to be arming the ball.
Since your preparation is off, you rush through the swing by arming the racket. This explains why your backhand seems more consistent than your forehand because its preparation is slightly better.
Try practicing being early on your swing, it will help a bundle.
EDIT : Oh and also, you have 0 shoulder turn on your forehand.
This is another explanation as to why you are more prone to arming the ball. The only time you aren't really arming the ball is when you're on the run and actually rotating your shoulders.
I agree with this assessment. Early preparation will start solving some of your problems.
Trust me, I've had 2 shoulder surgeries. If I'm arming anything, I'll be the first to know. I used to arm my serves until I sat down, thought about my motion, and how I can use less arm while maintaining and improving my serve. If I say I'm not arming my strokes, I'm not arming my strokes. .
Pretty much all of us who have seem your video have agreed that you arming your strokes. You're not engaging your body at all. You are way off balance on your forehand (which even you agree with). Not sure how you think you're engaging your core when you are practically hitting off your heels. On both sides you're not moving INTO the stroke with your body.
As noted above, I think the early racket prep will help a lot. And the good news for you is that this is a relatively easy fix. I had very late racket prep two years ago and didn't believe it until I saw video of myself. This was a very easy change to make to my game. As soon as the racket comes off my opponent's racket I split step and I immediately get my racket into either forehand or backhand position. This helps tremendously with being in balance when hitting your stroke. You can't engage your core and body if you are off balance.

It has been a little over two weeks since Cedar Valley burned. There are small patches of grasses in the sea of ash and cinders. You can tell where a brush pumper was stationed- there is some "pre-fire" vegetation that did not burn and the edges have thicker new growth. Any Johnson grass in these areas had shot up about two to three feet.
Some of the pioneer plants are Johnson grass, Buffalo gourds and Mesquite seedlings. There are other grasses trying to move in but the deer are browsing them heavily. The gourd vines and Johnson grass are thriving as they are not being eaten.
Last week piles of Redbud seed pods were scattered throughout Cedar Valley. They have a thicker seed coat and germinate faster if either frozen for a couple weeks or they pass through an animal's digestion system. We soaked the Redbud seed pods for twenty four hours then drizzled honey on the piles of seeds. None of the piles could be found this week, so something ate them. Hopefully they deposited the digested seeds around Cedar Valley.
While surveying the area five whitetail deer were spotted in the distance. With no brush to hide them the deer quickly retreated to the edges of the valley. No small mammals were seen. There were some birds feasting on all the exposed grasshoppers. One juvenile Mockingbird actually paced us to the side, gobbling the grasshoppers we kicked up.
With no blooming flowers to feed on it was no surprise that no butterflies were seen. Last week park staff sowed Lemon Monarda, Coreopsis (Tickseed) and Thelesperma (Greenthread) along the southern edge of the burned area. This week Indian Blanket was also sown, along with more Monarda and Coreopsis,-primarily on the eastern edge and center portion of Cedar Valley. Time will tell how effective the reseeding efforts are.

Following the chief minister Siddaramaiah's direction, the DG & IGP recently passed an order making 10 additional directors general of police (ADGPs) in-charge for 28 police districts of the state to supervise and improve policing.
But it seems that the order has not gone well with some top cops as they feel that the new system would lead to confusion among police heads of districts besides there will be overlap of instructions.In the annual senior police officers meet held last month, the CM had directed the state police chief to make ADGPs in-charge for 3-4 districts, so that it would help improve policing.
The direction was given on the lines of administration where principal secretaries and secretaries of various departments are made in-charge of a few districts.Following this, the DG & IGP Lalrokhuma Pachuau passed an order and 10 ADGPs were made in-charge for 28 police districts. However, Bangalore city was given exemption in the order, as the city's police commissioner is an officer of the rank of ADGP.
Further, the order clearly stated that the new supervisory duties of the ADGPs will be in addition to existing responsibilities and also, it would not curtail the existing powers of IGPs of ranges and district police heads.However, some officers feel that the system would put them in confusion as number of officers they need to communicate are more.
"Earlier, whenever there was a major incident, we used to apprise our range IGP, who in turn would inform the ADGPs. With the new system in place, it will do the same. But the problem is, when something major happens, the directions will be from more people. District-in-charge ADGP, IGP will give directions.
Besides, the ADGP (crime) or the ADGP (law & order) will also have to intervene based on the nature of the incident," an SP of a district said.
"There won't be a problem if all the officers give the same direction. But, what to do if their directions are different, and whose order should to be followed in such instances? If one officer's instruction is not followed, then there are chances of them taking it personally and it would lead to other repercussions," another SP said.An ADGP, on condition of anonymity, said that there could be overlap of instructions.
"It could happen in some cases and we will ensure that there will be no difference in the directions as it will given after discussion among ADGPs."
Who heads which districts:
- ADGP (Transport, Traffic and Modernisation)- Mangalore City, Chikmagalur and Kolar
- ADGP (Law & Order) - Hubli-Dharwad city, Gulbarga and Mandya
- ADGP (Recruitment & Training) - Mysore City, Hassan and Chitradurga
- ADGP (Intelligence)- Tumkur, Chikballapur and Uttara Kannada
- ADGP (Administration) - Bangalore district, Ramanagar, Udupi and Mysore district
- ADGP (Crime & Technical Services) - Dakshina Kannada, Kodagu, Belgaum and Dharwad district
- ADGP (Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement) - Bijapur, Yadgir, Raichur and state railway police wing
- ADGP (KSRP) - Bidar, Haveri, Chamarajanagar and KGF
- ADGP (Police Computer Wing)- Davanagere, Bagalkot and Bellary
- ADGP (Internal Security Division) - Koppal, Gadag and Shimoga

As mulch fire burns on, City Council members ready to review mulch yard regs
Knoxville City Council members want a full review of how the city regulates mulch businesses and how this week's Ailor Avenue mulch fire could turn into such a calamity, sickening area residents and leading to a mass fish kill in Third Creek.
"I think we should revisit this and look, not only at the facility and what it does," Councilman Duane Grieve said of Shamrock Organic Products, where the mulch fire has burned since midday Sunday, "but at the effects, its environmental impact on the community and the impact on the services the city offers."
Councilman Mark Campen suggested fines should be imposed and added he was watching environmental impacts from the water runoff at 1925 Ailor Ave. The fire is one of the longest-burn in recent city history.
"When you fight a fire, the water goes somewhere," said Campen, director of the Tennessee Izaak Walton League, a conservation group. Runoff from the Ailor Avenue scene has killed scores of fish in the creek, a tributary of Fort Loudoun Lake that runs parallel to one of the city's most popular greenways.
"This isn't Deepwater Horizon, the oil spill and explosion," Campen said, referring to the 2010 Gulf of Mexico disaster. "But there are ramifications for environmental impacts."
Plumes of wood smoke have drifted across various parts of Knoxville, pushed by the wind. Crews have contained the deep smoldering flame but have been unable to extinguish the blaze.
Mayor Madeline Rogero on Tuesday promised a full review once the fire was out in order to "make sure something like this never happens again."
Knoxville Fire Chief Stan Sharp said he expected firefighters "to make real progress" through Thursday.
The city contracts with Shamrock to take discarded tree and plant material from the public to the 9-acre site.Costs linked to the fire can't be estimated until the ordeal ends, police and fire officials said.
KFD has been called out to the Shamrock site more than 150 times on service calls and small fire calls in the last 10 years. Officials didn't respond to questions about those cost impacts.
But KFD Deputy Chief Roger Byrd said that he had previously met with Shamrock owner Randal Greaves about the frequency of calls.
"It is excessive, but (the business also) is part of the tax base, and we're fortunate to have them," he said. "This stuff is going to catch on fire, there's no way around that."
Greaves couldn't be reached Tuesday.
"I'm very concerned over the fact that there were fires there very regularly in the recent history," Councilman Marshall Stair said. "Aside from that, I'm just praying for rain."
Also hoping for rain is Councilman Daniel Brown, whose 6th District includes Shamrock.
"I'm very concerned about the environment and the fish kill and the air that people are breathing," he said, adding that the city could look at state or federal codes regarding mulch piles.
Vice Mayor Nick Pavlis said he smelled smoke from his home in South Knoxville.
"In the future we're going to take a little closer look," he said of rules for mulch operations. "Obviously, it's problem."
Size may be an issue in how the fire started. Large volumes of decaying mulch create heat that can cause spontaneous combustion. Current city fire code allows mulch piles to reach up to 60 feet.
"There are a whole lot of questions and not a whole lot of answers," said Councilman Finbarr Saunders.
Piles at Shamrock reach 30 feet high.
By comparison, mulch piles in Nashville can't get higher than 25 feet, according to a rule adapted from the International Code Council. Even smaller mulch piles have proved troublesome, though. An Environmental Protection Agency report on debris caused by Hurricane Hugo in Charlotte in 1989 said that some 10-foot mulch piles stored for more than a month ignited. One such fire took a week to extinguish.
Shamrock has received a mass of debris left over from last year's storms, according to Greaves.
Grieve witnessed those mounds of mulch and twisted branches firsthand when he bought a truckload from Shamrock on Friday for flower beds around his house.
"I was amazed by the stacks and stacks of mulch," he said.
