Included among the goodies will be key lime pie from Key West, Moonshine cake from Virginia, Whoopie pies from Maine, "apple pie in a paper bag" from Wisconsin, the ultimate turtles from Massachusetts, the city's best pralines, smores, and plenty of beverages like egg creams, and coffee cabinets. The (non-edible) highlight of the evening will be the presentation of the Roadfood Blue Plate Award to a chef who has made a unique contribution to America's regional food.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 5/25/12
The Mets announced that they have optioned LHP Robert Carson to Double-A Binghamton and purchased the contract of RHP Jack Egbert from Triple-A Buffalo to replace him on the roster. Egbert has been having a fine season at Buffalo where is 2-3 with a 2.08 ERA in 17 appearances spanning 26 innings. He has allowed 22 hits and 5 walks while striking out 17 batters. The Mets also announced that reliever D.J. Carrasco has been released from the team. In two seasons with the Mets, Carrasco went 1-3 with a 6.11 ERA in 53 innings pitched. Thoughts from Joe D. – Yesterday I wrote the following on this situation: I'm not going to go into another diatribe on why Josh Edgin isn't ready like I did a couple of weeks ago, but I wonder how many Mets fans realize that among pitchers who have thrown ten or more innings this season for the Bisons, Josh Edgin (5.02 ERA) has the worst ERA followed by Matt Harvey (4.35 ERA) and Jeurys Familia (4.31 ERA). That's right, those three have the worst ERA's on...

Return to Sapporo
I lived in Sapporo for 1 ½ years in the late eighties and last visited it in the mid nineties. This 2-week trip was a long awaited revisit and reunion with a dear friendship I made in the eighties and have not seen since the nineties. The hotel
was selected based on its location to Nakajima Koen, which is very familiar to me, and the modern and clean look of the interior spaces of the hotel and the guest room. It was in a quiet neighborhood, near the Toyohira Kawa (again familiar) and convenient to the Makomanai subway line for travel to the shopping (street or underground levels) and entertainment areas. The staff and amenities were perfect. If the website had indicated the amenities included shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, I would not have lugged mine from the US. The mini frig was a nice surprise (storing outside food), an electric water kettle, and tea and teacups.
A room safe and much larger closet (it was no more than 2 feet wide) are preferred, but definitely not a deal breaker. Only area for improvement would be to get rid of that terrible "sour towel" smell emitting from the cloth shower curtain, which occurs when you leave wet clothing/towels too long to dry in an area not conducive to air circulation/drying, resulting in that awful smell. Several times, I drew soapy baths to soak/clean the shower curtain, then after rehanging on the curtain rod, I draped the bottom portion over the clothesline to dry with air circulating (not wet and bunched up or matted against the tub walls). Helped a little but that curtain needed a major hot bleach water wash. The walls are thin though as a few nights I heard someone snoring from the adjacent guest room and I am a light sleeper requiring quiet.
The front desk staff was excellent. Without noting she was off at 5 PM, one exceptional person agreed to meet me the day before I left to assist me in performing my online airline check in on the hotel computer. I only learned she was assisting me on her own time after we encountered problems with the site. I was extremely grateful and impressed with her customer service skills.
Since the yen is currently 75 yen to a dollar, I recommend for inexpensive eats to go underground at the subway and partake in the stand up ramen restaurants 500y&up, look for older little restaurants 300y&up (not new, modern ones), and go the the Basement 1 or 2 levels of Mitsukoshi or Tokyu Department Store, to purchase bento boxes 480y & up. Subway kiosks and the Japanese varieties of food at Seico Mart & 7Eleven convenient stores are also wonderful.

Matisyahu's Take on Israel's Proposed Fur Ban
What do reggae star Matisyahu, the Israeli government, and fur have in common? The compassionate Jewish singer, who recently became vegan because of his disgust toward factory farms and to strictly adhere to Torah principle, has written a heartfelt letter on behalf of PETA US to Israeli government leaders urging them to support a bill currently in the Knesset that would ban the fur trade in Israel. If the bill passes, Israel would be the first country to prohibit the production, sale, and importation of all fur products (with the exception of shtreimels, traditional fur hats worn by some Hasidim).
Matisyahu rightfully points out that stomping, beating, and bludgeoning animals violates the fundamental principle of tza'ar ba'alei chayim, which forbids gratuitous cruelty to animals.
In light of PETA US' recent undercover exposé of Chinese fur farms, it's time right now for governments and the public to turn their backs on fur.
The sooner fur is banned worldwide the better!
Ive bn doing a lot of animal rights campaigning recently-especially on trying to stop companies and designers using real fur as its SICK and EVIL and i cannot understand how people can carry on selling it-and wearing it knowing that it is all coming from the chinese fur farms in which animals are been tortured and blundgeoned to death every day and treated horrifically! just for their skins!!-and then finally they are skinned alive!!. It has had me in floods of tears, the image of the racoon dog been brutally skinned alive has had me sobbing my heart out this wk-i just cant understand how anybody in their right mind could do that to another living breathing creature-the chinese are sick evil people for doing this-monsters and i want to see fur banned worldwide soon-this sick torture should NOT be happening in this day and age it wants stopping now!!!

I'm super stoked for Wiman vs Grant man

Outside of spastic movement Guida has nothing for Hioki on the feet.

"To be truly walking on the warrior's path, we have to bring our minds back to the time when we were not ashamed of our dreams; when reality had not yet frustrated our ambitions; when our desire was still too strong to be repressed, and our spirit refused to surrender in resignation; when we were not yet doctors, businessmen, or lawyers, but still wanted to be heroes, leaders, bodhisattvas. The first step on the way to being warriors is to get back in touch with our dreams."

The rankings in 12 of the 16 specialties--all but ophthalmology, psychiatry, rehabilitation, and rheumatology--are predominantly driven by hard data. There are four components: reputation, death rate, patient safety (new this year), and care-related factors such as nursing and patient services. In these 12 specialties, hospitals have to pass through several gates to be ranked and considered a Best Hospital:
1. The first gate determines whether a hospital is eligible to be ranked at all by requiring that it must meet any of three conditions: be a teaching hospital; have at least 200 beds; or have at least 100 beds plus at least four out of eight key medical technologies such as current-generation CT scanners and precision radiation therapy.
2. The second gate determines whether a hospital is eligible to be ranked in a particular specialty. To be eligible, the hospital had to either have at least a specified volume of certain procedures and conditions over three years, or had to have been nominated by at least one physician in the last three years of our annual specialist survey.
3. The third gate is whether a hospital does well enough to be ranked, based on its reputation, death rate, patient safety, and factors like nurse staffing and technology. In the four other specialties--ophthalmology, psychiatry, rehabilitation, and rheumatology--ranking is based solely on nominations from the three most recent physician surveys.<

Get ready for massive rates increases
Rates increases are on the cards for Auckland residents.
Len Brown has said that they won't be more than the rate of inflation, but the Council will undoubtedly use the recent valuations to further ratchet up the rates in coming years…massively.
Council valuations of Auckland homes have jumped by almost a third on average, new figures reveal.
Auckland Council will tomorrow release new valuations for more than 220 suburbs across the region for three-yearly review of CVs.
The figures will show properties in 10 areas have had an increase to their valuation of 50 per cent or more over the past 12 months; including Hobsonville which has jumped by a massive 65 per cent.
Just four areas have recorded reductions in their CVs; Manukau Heads, Kawau Island, Great Barrier Island and Rakino Island.
The new valuations will apply from next year and have an impact on rates for 2015.

"Blotting" or "electro-blotting" refers to the process used to transfer biological samples from a gel to a membrane under the influence of an electric field. The process requires a membrane that can immobilize biomolecular samples for subsequent detection. This places specific requirements on the membranes related to surface area, porosity, and protein binding capacity.
Western blotting is one modification of this technique that involves the immobilization of proteins on membranes before detection using monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies. Prior to protein immobilization on the membrane, sample proteins are separated using SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to separate native or denatured proteins. The proteins are then transferred or electro-blotted onto a membrane, where they are probed and ultimately detected using antibodies specific to a target protein. Western blotting membranes are typically made of nitrocellulose (NC) or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The specificity of the antibody-antigen interaction can enable a single protein to be identified among a complex protein mixture.
To summarize, Western blotting involves application of a protein sample (lysate) onto a polyacrylamide gel, subsequent separation of said complex mixture by electrophoresis, and transferal or "electro-blotting" of separated proteins onto a second matrix, generally a nitrocellulose or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. Following the transfer, the membrane is "blocked" to prevent nonspecific binding of antibodies to the membrane surface. Many antibody labeling or tagging strategies are known to those skilled in the art. In the simplest protocols, the transferred proteins are incubated or complexed with a primary enzyme-labeled antibody that serves as a probe. After blocking non-specific binding sites a suitable substrate is added to complex with the enzyme, and together they react to form chromogenic, chemiluminescent, or fluorogenic detectable products that allow for visual, chemiluminescence, or fluorescence detection, respectively. The most sensitive detection schemes make use of chemiluminescent or fluorescent phenomena. In chemiluminescent detection, an enzyme-substrate complex produces detectable optical emissions (chemiluminescence). These emissions are recorded and measured using suitable detectors such as film or photonic devices. Absence or presence of signal indicates whether a specific protein is present in the lysate, and signal intensity is related to the level of the protein of interest, which in some cases may be quantifiable.
The use of nitrocellulose membranes is ubiquitous in immunodetection assay work, particularly in Western blotting. This is partially due to historical considerations, and partially due to ease of use. Nitrocellulose blotting membranes do not require an organic liquid pre-wet step, a requirement for working with hydrophobic membranes. Hydrophobic membranes require an alcohol pre-wet step followed by a water exchange step (for alcohol removal), before assembly within the blot-transfer assembly. Intrinsically hydrophobic membranes afford a limited time-frame for this assembly; the potential for the membrane to dry out is significant. Once dry, the membrane cannot be re-wet unless the pre-wet sequence is repeated. Once the membrane is contacted to the gel, removal prior to transfer can effectively ruin the gel and the separated protein samples contained. The pre-wet step is time consuming and can considerably impede workflow. A hydrophilic membrane will remain wet for a longer time interval, and can be re-wet with water if it does dry out before assembly.
Nitrocellulose blotting membranes are water wet-able and show satisfactory performance for most blotting applications. But nitrocellulose is not as mechanically or chemically stable as PVDF. PVDF will maintain its mechanical integrity over a long timeframe, whereas NC will become brittle and discolored. PVDF membrane blots can be stripped of antibodies and be re-probed. NC blots cannot. NC is prone to air oxidation, wherein it can become hazardous. It requires a separate waste stream, and when disposed of must be damped with a wetting agent, usually water.
Hydrophobic PVDF blotting membranes possess equivalent protein binding ability to NC blotting membranes, but exhibit superior blotting performance. Much lower sample concentrations can be detected under the same conditions on these PVDF membranes compared to NC. Low-background fluorescence hydrophobic PVDF blotting membranes exhibit the same enhanced sample detection while enabling the use of fluorescent detection schemes.
It therefore would be desirable to provide a hydrophilic PVDF membrane for immunodetection assays such as Western blotting, with performance characteristics that approach the lower sample detection limits and low background fluorescence that are characteristic of hydrophobic PVDF membranes. This invention addresses these requirements.
Those skilled in the art of surface modification for the purpose of altering substrate surface energies, and in particular with regard to surfaces intended for contact with biological systems, will concur that hydrophilic surface modifications traditionally exhibit low protein binding behavior. The embodiments disclosed herein build on the serendipitous and unexpected discovery that space polymers derived from certain monomeric acrylamide mixtures, and formed using free-radical polymerization reactions, can give rise to surface modifications that are not only hydrophilic, but also demonstrate a high level of protein binding.
Much of the prior art describes the use of hydroxyl containing monomers, usually carbonyl ester containing acrylate polymers, to produce membrane surface modifications having hydrophilic character and high resistance to protein binding. However, it is known that polymers from such monomers are not resistant to strong alkaline solutions. For example, a solution of 1.0 normal sodium hydroxide will hydrolyze the carbonyl containing acrylate polymers to acrylic acid containing polymers. Such acrylic acid containing polymers are ionically charged under certain pH conditions, and will attract and bind oppositely charged proteins or biomolecules, thus increasing sorption and membrane fouling. In addition, acrylic acid containing polymers swell in water to an extent that they constrict pore passages, thus reducing membrane permeability and productivity. Moreover, polymers from hydroxyl containing monomers, such as hydroxy acrylates, further react in strong alkaline solutions and degrade into soluble low molecular weight fragments, which dissolve away and expose the underlying substrate porous media or membrane.
Practitioners attempting to develop optimized membranes either for filtration or non-filtration applications in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries must overcome significant problems. Facing stringent cost, performance and safety requirements, a practitioner must use materials and develop manufacturing methods that produce membranes with not only optimized flow and retention characteristics, but be economical to produce, meet cleanliness criteria, be stable to the various chemical environments which are commonly encountered, and be very either very resistant to biomolecule adsorption, or very strongly adsorbing, depending upon the intended end-use. Thus, in this instance, it is very desirable to have a membrane modification that results in a hydrophilic, biomolecule adsorptive surface that is heat stable, which is resistant to degradation by any potential reagent solutions, and which has very low levels of material capable of being extracted there-from.
Protein binding results from early investigations into mixed-acrylamide polymeric surface modifications indicated that certain mixtures of hydrophilic bis-acrylamide crosslinking monomers and monofunctional neutral or charged acrylamides can, when copolymerized using UV-initiated or electron beam-initiated free-radical techniques, produce high protein-binding hydrophilic surface modifications. However, initial starting levels of each monomer had to be severely decreased before observing satisfactory dot blot morphology and blotting transfer performance.
The problems of the prior art have been overcome by the present embodiments, which provide a hydrophilic membrane particularly suited for blotting applications, preferably Western blotting. More specifically, a pre-wet hydrophobic membrane substrate, preferably made of PVDF, is contacted with a monomer solution and subjected to polymerizing conditions to render the substrate permanently hydrophilic.
The resulting membrane exhibits low background fluorescence, high protein binding, excellent retention of protein sample spot morphology, and extended dynamic range (high signal-to-noise ratio, enhanced sample detectability). Where chemiluminescence is used for detection, the level of background fluorescence inherent in the unmodified parent membrane is not as critical. The membrane demonstrates comparable or higher performance in Western blotting applications than conventional nitrocellulose blotting membranes, particularly for detection at low sample concentrations, and is directly water-wettable, eliminating the need for an alcohol pre-wet step prior to use. The membrane exhibits complete, instant, and uniform wetting upon contact with water, and exhibits delayed wetting when contacted with a saturated aqueous aluminum chloride solution. That is, when said membrane is placed on the surface of this saturated aqueous aluminum chloride solution, it wets through in a minimum time interval of not less than 1 second).
The membranes hydrophilically modified in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure provide immunodetection assay platforms that are comparable to, or exhibit superior blotting performance to nitrocellulose membranes, particularly with respect to expansion of the low end of the dynamic range of sample detectability. For example, in
Suitable porous membranes include those formed from aromatic sulfone polymers, polytetrafluoroethylene, perfluorinated thermoplastic polymers, polyolefin polymers, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, polyamides including Nylon 6 and Nylon 66, and polyvinylidene fluoride, with polyvinylidene fluoride being particularly preferred. Porous membranes include both microporous membranes and ultrafiltration membranes, and are preferably in the form of sheets. Generally the average pore sizes include those between 0.001 and 10 microns. Blotting membranes are nominally 0.45 um pore size materials. Preferred starting membranes have a porosity (void volume) range specification of 68-73%. Blotting membranes are traditionally symmetric. However, the coating could be applied to an asymmetric membrane.
The polymeric coating can be a copolymer or terpolymer formed from at least one polyfunctional monomer modified with at least one hydrophilic functional group, said hydrophilic polyfunctional monomer(s) selected from the group consisting of polyfunctional acrylamides, polyfunctional methacrylamides and diacroylpiperazines, and formed from at least one monofunctional monomer modified with at least one hydrophilic functional group, said hydrophilic monofunctional monomer(s) selected from the group consisting of monofunctional acrylamides, monofunctional methacrylamides, and acryloyl piperazines.
It was found that a porous hydrophobic membrane, preferably one made of polyvinylidene fluoride coated with a crosslinked acrylamide-ethylene-bis-acrylamide copolymer was rendered highly hydrophilic. Furthermore, at the copolymer level that was applied to the porous PVDF membrane samples in early iterations of this invention, IgG binding assays revealed protein binding levels to be in the neighborhood of 400 ug/cm2. This level is typical of the parent hydrophobic PVDF membrane and of conventional nitrocellulose membranes. The first surprising result was that membranes so prepared were both hydrophilic, and high protein-binding. However, the Western blotting performance of these initial samples (those that exhibited this high level of protein binding) was not satisfactory in terms of maintaining small sample blot size (blot morphology), and in terms of sample capture in blot transfers. By modifying the copolymer coating level, satisfactory blotting performance was realized. At these modified levels, protein binding levels were reduced to between 250 and 325(00) ug/cm2, but Western blotting performance rose to levels intermediate between nitrocellulose and the preferred parent hydrophobic PVDF membrane. Surprisingly, the present inventors found that the protein binding level is not the best or only predictor of Western blotting membrane performance. Sacrificing some protein binding ability by modifying the coating level on the substrate can result in improved blotting performance.
Thus, component levels and relative concentrations of the modifying formulation are critical to obtain acceptable immunodetection assay performance. A low overall solids concentration in a highly specific component ratio balances water-wetting performance against blotting performance. The very low background fluorescence level of the substrate membrane is preserved. If, however, the level of surface modification chemistry is too low, the result is a membrane that is not water-wettable to an acceptable extent. If the level of surface modification is too high the resulting membranes exhibit extremely high surface energies. As stated earlier, at higher levels of surface modifying chemistry, the measured protein binding capacity is roughly equivalent to nitrocellulose and hydrophobic PVDF membranes, but poor electro-blotting performance results.
In accordance with certain embodiments, the total solids level in the modifying/reactant solution is to be adjusted to between 0.90% and 1.10% by weight. A total solids concentration in this range with the specified component ratio results in optimal blotting performance. This formulation includes a UV-photoinitiator component.
Suitable amounts of the acrylamide monofunctional monomer and the bis-acrylamide crosslinking monomer in the reactant solution are to be between 0.20% and 2.00% by weight (each), preferably with amounts between 0.30% and 0.60% by weight (each), and most preferably between 0.40% and 0.50% by weight (inclusive, each). The preferred ratio of acrylamide to bis-acrylamide of the monomer reactant solution is about 1:1 (mass/mass). The preferred overall monomer concentration of acrylamide:methylene-bis-acrylamide monomer reactant solution is between 0.5% and 1.5% by mass. A suitable UV-photoinitiator component is present in 0.01% to 0.20% by weight preferably between 0.05 and 0.15% by weight, and most preferably between 0.09% and 0.11%, by weight. Suitable UV-photoinitiators include Irgacure 500, 754, 2959, and 819DW. Methods for preparation of the modified porous membrane substrate in accordance with certain embodiments include the steps of providing a porous membrane substrate, contacting the surface of the porous membrane substrate with a reactant solution comprising acrylamide and methylene-bis-acrylamide, and a suitable photoinitiator, removing the membrane from the solution, and polymerizing the coating in situ on the membrane substrate by exposing the same to radiation of a suitable wavelength and intensity for a suitable time interval. Preferably the porous membrane contacted with the reaction solution is irradiated with an ultraviolet light source. Filters may be used to reduce or eliminate undesirable wavelengths which may cause damage to the porous membrane. The amount of exposure time to the UV light and the intensity thereof should be familiar to those skilled in the art.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, a laboratory-scale preparation of the reactant monomer solution is made by dissolving 1.00 g acrylamide, [H2C═CH—C(O)—NH2] monofunctional monomer; 0.80 g methylene-bis-acrylamide, [H2C(—NH—C(O)CH═CH2)2] cross-linking monomer; and, 0.20 g Irgacure 2959 photo-initiator into 198.00 g of Milli-Q� water. An extended mixing interval of about 2 hours is required to fully dissolve the cross-linker and the photo-initiator.
More specifically, the porous hydrophobic starting membrane is pre-wet by immersion in an organic liquid or in an aqueous solution thereof that does not swell or dissolve the porous membrane, and which pre-wets the entire porous surface of the membrane.
The liquid may be a low molecular weight alcohol, or a mixture of water and a miscible organic liquid. Suitable liquids or compositions include methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, water mixtures thereof, acetone/water mixtures, and tetrahydrofuran/water mixtures of sufficiently low surface tension to affect wetting the entire membrane surface.
The purpose of this pre-wetting step is to assure that the entire membrane surface is rendered wettable by water, and subsequently by the aqueous reactant monomer solution. The pre-wetting step must be followed by a rigorous exchange step with water to eliminate the presence of the organic solvent. These pre-wetting solvents or water mixtures thereof can exert a negative influence upon the intended polymerization of the reactant monomers.
Subsequent immersion and gentle agitation of the water-wet porous membrane in the reactant solution allows the entire surface of the porous membrane to be wet with reactant solution. As long as excess water is removed from the membrane prior to immersion in the reactant solution, no significant dilution of the reactant solution will occur.
The sample is withdrawn after a short (two minute) time interval and excess reactant solution is removed from the membrane sample. The reactant solution-wetted membrane is anaerobically exposed to UV radiation to effect the polymerization directly onto the entire porous membrane surface. The resulting coated membrane exhibits: Immediate, complete, and thoroughly uniform wetting when contacted onto a water surface; A high level of Western blotting performance; A high level of protein binding (≧250 ug/cm2 IgG) by radio-labeled assay; and, Low background fluorescence (about 2000 rfu @485 nm/535 nm excitation/emission wavelengths using a TECAN GENios FL fluorescence reader with detector gain set at 86, and running Magellan 5.0 software package), which is about twice the background fluorescence of the untreated (unmodified parent hydrophobic) membrane under the same measurement conditions. When placed on the surface of a saturated aqueous aluminum chloride solution, the membrane will wet through in a minimum time interval of not less than 1 second, and in a maximum time interval that may exceed 60 seconds.
Commercially available hydrophobic PVDF membrane from Millipore Corporation (IPFL00000) was immersed in methyl alcohol. The membrane was withdrawn and immersed in water with agitation to extract methanol for 1 minute. The membrane was withdrawn and immersed in fresh water for an additional 2-minute interval and then placed in fresh water before immersion in reactant monomer solution. Excess water was drained from the membrane and the membrane was then immersed in monomer reactant solution with gentle agitation for 2 minutes. Membrane was then exposed to UV radiation from both sides in a UV curing process at a line speed of 15 to 25 fpm. Membrane was recovered and placed into a water bath to remove unreacted monomer and non-adhering oligomers and polymer. Samples were dried either in air at room temperature overnight, or in a static forced-air oven between 60� C. and 80� C. for 10 minutes, or on an impingement dryer at 90-110� C. at a line speed of 15 to 25 fpm. Average membrane extractables as determined by an in-house TOC (Total Organic Carbon) method were measured to be about 1.44 ug/cm2, as shown in Table 1.
Average extractable residual monomer levels were determined by HPLC. Values determined from 3 samples are provided in Table 2.
The procedure of Example 1 was used to treat PVDF membranes having the specifications, treatment conditions and reactant solutions shown in Tables 3A-D, 4A-D, and 5A-D.
The protocol used for Western blotting and chemiluminescent detection is as follows:
This protocol was used on the samples prepared in Example 2, and the blotting results are shown in
Western blotting results from a typical development run demonstrate the performance differences between the hydrophilic PVDF blotting membrane of this invention, and the controls (FL—hydrophobic PVDF membrane, and NC—Whatman/S&S BA-85 membrane). Each horizontal strip in the figure contains 5 separate Western transfer blots; three blots on hydrophilic PVDF development samples, and one blot on each of the control membranes. Each strip of 5 Western blots is the result from one electrophoresis and transfer experiment (5 gels were run in each experiment). By design, each experiment embodies identical conditions with identical quantities of protein sample (applied in 4 lanes across each gel) before electrophoresis and transfer. The results shown are the transfer blots for the detection of 2 proteins (HSP70 and GAPDH) from a complex sample mixture (lysate), applied at decreasing sample solids (concentrations), from left-to-right and corresponding to: 5 ug, 2.5 ug, 1.25 ug, 0.67 ug.
Note that in each row (the result of a single electrophoresis and electro-blotting experiment, three hydrophilic blotting membranes of the invention are compared to two control blotting membranes. One control consists of nitrocellulose blotting membrane (NC) and the other control is a hydrophobic PVDF blotting membrane (FL). In the case of each single experiment, the FL membrane demonstrates the highest signal intensity for the 4 titers of analyte protein solution, and the NC membrane demonstrates the lowest signal intensity. It can be seen, when comparing the signal strengths between NC control blotting membranes and hydrophilic PVDF blotting membranes of the invention, that at the highest analyte sample titers (left hand side of each blot), that the NC and the hydrophilic PVDF membranes exhibit similar signal strengths. However, as one progresses to lower and lower analyte sample titers (progressing from left-to-right), the signal strength falls off more rapidly for the NC membrane. This demonstrates that the hydrophilic PVDF membrane allows sample detection at lower protein concentrations than NC membrane does.

I knew that I had something to say all of my life — I knew it. Yet, I was incredibly afraid and fearful. Shy, even. But I had the tenacity to follow my instinct to raise my voice, and I used my instinct to be heard to get past my fear.
My book, Instinct, was birthed on a safari in Africa. My guide was a brilliant man who could not find the elephants. The Zulu who was with us, who had no formal education, patiently led us to them. That day I learned that intellect can only take us so far, that if we want to achieve our greatest heights, our instinct must meet our intellect and successfully guide us to purpose.
Watching the elephants, tigers and giraffes roam about freely gave me understanding of what moved me all of my life: My instinct to be free. Not caged. Not boxed in. But to do all that I do freely, creatively, and with purpose to help others achieve the same level of freedom and success.
We need to harness the power of our instincts so that we can be who we were created to be.
How do we know what voices in our soul to follow and which ones not to?
There is no voice that tells us to do or not do something. It is our inclination. It is our proclivity. It is our instinct that directs us to go one way or another. Learn to trust your instincts. Go against the grain. Take risks. It's what makes life worth living.
What does it mean to identify one's individuality?
We are so busy trying to fit in to what is socially accepted that we miss our individualism versus our exceptionalism. The box of who others say you are can destroy your gifts.
We all need a Rosa Parks moment where we stand up and say "enough," where we find the courage not to run with the pack. We are not all meant to blend in and go with the flow. Some of you are born truly unique. Being true to your core and what you believe in is how you become an individual.

Yes the location is great but the actual apartment was awful. Every time it rained our bedroom flooded and when we asked someone to check for mold they said everything was fine. Upon moving out we found mold in our children's bedroom (my child has severe asthma and allergies) and then we were charged for the damage caused by the flooding to the carpet which totaled $655.00. We lived there four years of course the carpet would need to be replaced. When going to the pool watch out for glass, there were numerous times that I would have to go sweep everything up after someone had a party just so we could go swimming. Even after making several complaints nothing was ever done to fix the problem. I would highly recommend you look somewhere else to live.

"My save the dates turned out PERFECT, and I received so so many compliments on people who loved them. I think the magnet is such a good idea for a save the date and I could not be more pleased."
"This is my first purchase from WPD and I'm incredibly happy! First of all, this site is far more affordable than most wedding invitation sites and they give you such a broad range for customization. These save the dates are gorgeous, the size is perfect too, not too large. Thank you! I'll be purchasing the rest of my wedding suite with you."
"I can not say more good things about this product. I received countless compliments on our save the dates. We personalized our save the dates with our fave engagement photo and it looked gorgeous! We used the blush color instead of the mint color. It looked perfect. I highly recommend these!"
"I am so in LOVE with our cards! The ease of working with your team made this project so much more exciting. You all were able to customize my project as I requested without any problems!! The printing looks beautiful and full of color! The shipping was fast and came before I expected. I can't wait to send them out! I will definitely be looking at your team to create my wedding invitations!! Keep up the great work!"
"We love our save the dates and plan to use this design for all our invitations, etc. Being an older couple (late 40's) planning a second wedding, we've been trying to find a look that was elegant but not too formal and weren't interested in using photos. These are perfect! The design is so lovely and has the look of a painted canvas, and the quality of the paper was top notch and reasonably priced. An excellent product!"

At the young age of 13, Natasha Mercado's life veered into an uncertain and frightening future. She had just delivered her first child.
Natasha Mercado, enjoying family time with her children (l to r) Pierre, Charlize and Jaron at the Parkville Family Center
"I was so young. I was very depressed. I shut everyone out, and I didn't want to go to school. I didn't want people to treat me differently," Natasha remembers.
Despite the support of those closest to her, it felt like no one could truly ease her burden.
But fortunately, help was available in her neighborhood.
Natasha entered the Teen and Young Parent Support program at the Parkville Family Center, a program of Family Life Education. Over the next several years, she learned how to take care of her baby, and how to deal with peer pressure.
Natasha's determination to further her education is good not only for her, but also bodes well for her children's futures.
As she got older, she was able to focus more on her own career development, taking classes in interviewing and resumé writing.
"I was very shy, but the program helped a lot with my self-esteem," said Natasha.
The Parkville Family Center is one of six family centers in Hartford created and supported by the Hartford Foundation's Brighter Futures Initiative.
Each family center is "a hub of education, nurturing and connectivity in the neighborhood," said Joyce Bosco, Circuit Rider for the Brighter Futures Family Centers and former director of the Southside Family Center. "They provide a range of services and connect residents to other community-based resources," with the continuing education of the child and parent as the cornerstone.
"Family centers serve over 1,000 families per year because of the critical funding and technical assistance provided by the Hartford Foundation," Bosco said.
Independent evaluations of the family centers, which are conducted twice a year, show that families who participate in the centers:
Moreover, children who participate at the centers demonstrate significant increases in their social skills and their ability to work with other children and with adults.
Now 22, Natasha keenly appreciates the benefits she received from participating in her family center - both in terms of her child-rearing abilities and her own personal development.
Family Life Education hired Natasha as a program assistant through AmeriCorps in 2009, and she learned valuable job skills. This internship, which paid her a small living allowance, was her first paying job.
"It was a really good experience for me to know what it was like getting into the workforce and getting up early," she said. "Now I crave being in the workforce."
With help from family literacy programs, Natasha earned her GED in 2008. She now attends Capital Community College, where she hopes to major in accounting.
"Natasha's determination to further her education is good not only for her, but also bodes well for her children's futures," said Bosco, "because a mother's level of education is one of the most important determinants of a child's success in school."
In 2009, Natasha and her daughter Charlize both provided testimony at the Children in Recession Task Force Hearing, at the Legislative office Building in Hartford, sharing their personal experiences and the benefits and opportunities they received from being part of the Brighter Futures family centers.
Last March, through a collaboration with Family Life Education and NextGen Leaders, inc., a PeaceJam affiliate, Natasha and other young mothers met Nobel Peace Laureate Adolfo Pérez Esquivel and presented their Call to Action project on teen pregnancy prevention to the region's youth.
Natasha also now serves on the Parent Advisory Board for the Parkville Family Center.
With new-found confidence, this once-shy girl has discovered her voice. "I'm so much more outspoken," she said. "I'm not afraid. I can do it on my own."
At 5:45 a.m. each weekday, Rosalina Rojano rises to prepare her four children for school. Together, they walk to...read more »

Weighing the fat in current spending
President Barack Obama makes a statement from the Diplomatic Room of the White House -- February 26, 2009
Steve Chiotakis: The Senate gave its OK yesterday to a spending bill that'll
keep the government running through October. President Obama is expected to sign that measure, the $410 billion budget, today. The president says he's not happy with all the fat included in it, and some of his opponents are complaining about it even more. The latest from Ashley Milne-Tyte.
Ashley Milne-Tyte: The bill contains an 8 percent increase in spending over last year. It includes more money for things like food aid and housing vouchers for the poor, and the Agriculture Department and Amtrak.
But Republicans and some Democrats complain the bill is overflowing with funding for special projects close to lawmakers' hearts. John McCain has been posting his outrage on Twitter.
The bill has at least $5.5 billion in earmarks. More than a million dollars will go to the nonprofit Helen Keller International to give eyeglasses to students with vision problems. The list also includes $238,000 for the Polynesian Voyaging Society in Honolulu. President Obama is expected to announce new rules on earmarks today.
I'm Ashley Milne-Tyte for Marketplace.

You'll appreciate the location of this well-managed hotel and residential enclave with its own beachfront and gardens, just a few minutes' walk east of the noise of town yet also just minutes from the happening bars and restaurants. It's a favorite among well-heeled Dominicans, hip Americans, families and international guests. Spacious suites with full kitchens are the best deals; the basic unit has two full bedrooms, but room dividers can turn one larger unit into two smaller ones. You might ask for the art-deco Building 111. The views from the penthouses are knockout and an excellent value if three couples share. The oceanfront restaurant now qualifies as fine dining; service is efficient and caring and the palm trees are illuminated with white twinkle lights, making it a romantic setting, too. Ask about the 10% discount for cash.

I have traveled far and wide but seldom have I ever encountered such a tranquil and lovely setting as Velero Beach Resort. I stumbled across the place mostly because TripAdvisor had it rated do highly. Now I know why. The resort is really a condo/hotel nestled right on the crescent tip of the Cabarete beach. The location is perfect because you are close enough to enjoy the nightlife without having to contend with its constant musical bombardment.
You can exercise on the beach (they have a yoga lady), hang in a hammock, nosh at the beach club and never have to leave the premises. I will definitely be back to Velero Beach Resort and recommend it highly to anyone, travel savvy or newbie, who is trekking along the north coast of the Dominican Republic.

Andy Murray couldn't treat the home crowd to one final highlight to cap off a year already filled with milestones for British tennis. But losing to Roger Federer in the semifinals of the season-ending ATP finals on Sunday isn't likely to take the shine off his previous accomplishments in 2012 - reaching the Wimbledon final, winning gold at the Olympics and then ending a 76-year wait for a British men's Grand Slam champion at the U.S. Open. ''I would have liked to have finished, obviously, with a win,'' Murray said. ''But that didn't happen. But for me, it's been the best year of my career by a mile.'' And the kind of year frustrated British tennis fans had waited decades for - even though the ultimate prize of a Wimbledon title still eluded Murray. In a two month-span, Murray became the first British man since 1938 to even reach the Wimbledon final before losing to Federer, then won the country's first Olympic men's singles gold in 104 years on the same Centre Court - again agai...

December 12, 2012
Recently, a young man named Jack Taylor scored 138 points in a Division 3 college basketball game for Grinnell College in a 179 to 104 victory over Faith Baptist Bible College. Taylor's mind boggling performance was even more shocking when taking into consideration the gradual reduction of points the game of basketball has been subjected to the last several decades. Points just seem to be harder to come by at every level. So, it begs the question, "What happened?"
To put the problem into perspective, let me take you back a few generations. Points in basketball actually began to explode in the 1950's. Bevo Francis (Rio Grand) and Frank Selvy (Furhman) both scored over 100 points all by themselves for their respective colleges in that decade as scoring totals in basketball began to dramatically rise across the board.
That trend continued into the 1960's, the decade when I began to play basketball seriously. I can still remember where I was the night Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points all by himself for the Philadelphia Warriors in 1962. NBA teams routinely scored over 120 points a game and usually had three and four players who averaged over twenty points a contest. The NCAA statistics also reflect the abundance of scoring by both individual and teams. John Wooden's UCLA squads consistently averaged over 90 points a game in that decade. In the late 1960's Pistol Peter Maravich averaged over 44 points a game for LSU in three consecutive seasons.
High school basketball also benefited from the explosion of points. Continental defeated Perry 130 to 91 in a 1970 game. While scoring 90 points in a game was not routine, it wasn't the rarity it is today. In the 1973-74 season, Wapakoneta St. Joe High School scored over 100 points nine times and averaged 90.1 points a game while giving up over 80 points a contest. These scores were by no means the norm, but you get the point. The scoreboard was lighting up a lot more in that era.
So how do we account for the gradual reduction of points scored in basketball in the last couple of decades? Of course there is no single reason that can explain the decline, but I am going to give it a try. I think I know the culprit.. His name is Robert Montgomery Knight!
Bobby Knight became the head basketball coach at West Point in 1965 at the tender age of twenty four. West Point was a team possessing limited talent and size but blessed with the passion and motivation to go to extraordinary lengths to please their young zealot of a leader. Coach Knight knew that he did not have the kind of players who could compete with the best basketball talent in the country so he turned to the defensive end of the court and placed an emphasis on it that would pay dividends and impact basketball everywhere. Knight's brand of defense was physical and relentless. At the same time, Knight married his defensive philosophy to a passing game at the offensive end of the floor. His offensive style slowed the "pace" of the game and turned most of his battles into half court wars that Knight approached with the skill and planning of a five star general. Under his leadership, Army's basketball team began to win and Knight's success drew the attention of the entire basketball world.
In 1970 Indiana University had the good sense to hire Coach Knight to revive their basketball fortunes. He brought along his philosophy and within two years he had the Hoosiers in the final four. He would eventually win three national titles at Indiana and assume the mantel as the best coach in the game of basketball.
Knight's defensive and offensive philosophy spread around the country quickly. Good coaches are all copycats and Knight's emphasis on defense and preparation was the mantra in this era. Knight provided the coaching world with a blueprint on how to frustrate and limit an opponent's scoring. His vision was embraced by a generation of coaches, including this young coach, and I believe it is one of the key reasons points began to decline in the game of basketball.
Knight's emphasis on planning and physicality were the keys to his success. The loser in all of this was not only Knight's opponents, but fans who loved scoring and a fast paced game. Slowly, even officiating began to convert as defenders routinely placed their hands on opponents and the strength of an athlete became nearly as important as their speed and skill. I can still hear Coach Bob Arnzen, Delphos St. John's legendary coach, complaining about how the "physicality of the game" was ruining basketball.
Ron Niekamp, the recently retired coach of Findlay University and, in my opinion, the best basketball coach of his generation in this area, recently expressed a similar concern. When I asked him about the physicality of today's game, he pointed out that the battle of "Bigs" in the paint area is now similar to line play in football. I do not envision that we will ever go back to the hands off basketball but, as athletes continue to become stronger, it will have to be seriously addressed.
In every year I coached, the season began with a required meetings for both coaches and officials. At that meeting we heard that a point of emphasis for officiating would address the physicality of the game. Through scrimmages, that kind of play was penalized, but as the season progressed it would slip back into the game and was eventually ignored. Indeed, there is a rule of thumb that has proven true over the years. The deeper a team goes in the post season tournament, the more physical the game becomes and if your team can't adjust to that reality, you are not bringing home any state titles. I can personally attest to that premise.
But there is hope on the horizon and it's not the shot clock. As Bobby Knight and his brand of basketball slowly fades into the sunset, enter Coach Mike Krzyzewski, the new genius in the game of basketball. Krzyzewski, a former point guard for Coach Knight at West Point, has his Duke Blue Devils running at breakneck speed, firing up threes, and still playing great defense. Coach K's style of play is spreading around the basketball world and the "pace" of the game is accelerating.
We may never get back to the high scoring romps of yester-year but I believe we are slowly headed back in that general direction.
