For more information (including fees), to register for a class, or to make an appointment for a service, please call 201-634-5325.
Yoga is a series of gentle and restorative poses, guided relaxation, breathing techniques, and basic meditation. Yoga has been shown to produce measurable physiological changes in the mind/body by promoting a sense of well-being and relaxation. It has especially been known to reduce anxiety and stress. It can also improve strength and flexibility. Chair/wall assist classes are available for those who have difficulty lying down or using a mat.
T'ai Chi Chih is a series of 20 simple, slow, gentle, and continuous movements that build upon strength and improve balance. Its goal is to accumulate, balance, and circulate internal energy called "chi" through the meridians (energy pathways) leading to profound physical, mental, and spiritual benefits. This practice is appropriate for all ages and offers no limitation regarding one's physical condition. Classes are held throughout the year by Dorene Krause, an accredited T'ai Chi Chih instructor.
To register for the intermediate class, students must have completed at least two beginner courses and know all of the movements. Each course runs for 8 weeks. Each class is one hour and fifteen minutes. All courses will be held at the Unitarian Society of Ridgewood, located at 113 Cottage Place.
Visualization and guided imagery can help tap into inner strengths and other qualities that can empower individuals to cope with life stressors. Participants are lead through the guided imagery and relaxation techniques surrounded by the sounds of soothing music. An individual can learn to relax and work toward reducing, modifying, and/or eliminating pain and other symptoms.
Massage acts directly on the nervous system to activate the opposite of the "fight or flight" stress response. Massage increases circulation and, in turn, cleanses the body of waste products that can make you feel fatigued, combats edema, and bathes your cells in the nutrients needed to repair day-to-day wear and tear. Increased oxygen throughout the body and to the brain also helps to improve your mental alertness. These factors, combined with the sense of well-being that deep relaxation brings, can increase your energy level, improve sleep, and reduce daily stress.
Better nutrition means better outcomes. During private sessions with our Registered Dietitian, personalized nutrition plans are developed to meet an individual's special needs and long-term goals. Eating a healthier diet will lower the risk of many diseases and other health problems. Better nutrition improves quality of life.

Current group offerings include: Living with Pancreatic Cancer Group; "Us Too" Prostate Cancer Group; Metastatic Breast Cancer Support Group; Young Women's Breast Cancer Support Group, and Life After Cancer Support Group. Groups are open to all patients, regardless of where they receive treatment.
Quitting smoking is the single most important step you can take to improve your health. Trying to quit smoking cigarettes or using any tobacco product can be a real challenge.

In Lombardy, Italy's richest and most populous region, local government is promoting solutions that help mothers, fathers and carers improve the quality of their family lives without compromising their careers.
The online consultation over family-work conciliation was closed on January 31 with an outstanding number of participants: 1740, 78% of which are women.
It is an extraordinary participation rate for a public consultation on public policy considering that the usual consultations issued by the European Union receive on average between 200 and 500 replies.
The consultation helped to identify the targets of interest: families with children, families in a productive age, employees, entrepreneurs and self-employed workers.
Together with the drafting of a green paper, the online consultation is one of the initial steps to develop a path of co-planning and co-production of integrated policies promoting opportunities, answers and solutions in collaboration with a plurality of social actors such as the family.
Following the results of the public consultation and the revision of the green paper in view of the drafting of a white paper in depth seminars have been organized to further explore the issues and preparatory territorial agreements are being signed to facilitate conciliation at local level.

Okay...let's start with a disclaimer.
I did this project with my 10 and 8 year old kids.
I thought this would be a fun kid craft...but it turned out
to be a little harder than anticipated...
so I ended up doing all the wrapping...
and they came in to decorate.
This would be a fun gift for kids to give their friends!
Funny little stocking stuffers too!
Step 1: What you'll need...
Pipe cleaners
Wooden Bead or ball (ours are balls with a hole half way through it)
Embroidery floss
School glue
Hot glue
Step 2: Build the skeleton!
Take a pipecleaner and a wooden ball bead.
Begin by making a skeleton.
Fold the Pipe cleaner in half...
Wooden Bead or Ball hot glued in place
Bend pipe cleaners about an inch away from head to make arms.
Then back to the middle.
Then bend remaining length in half for the legs.
It basically makes a star shape!
Step 3: Mummify!
It ends up looking like a mummy!
We tied it off in the middle and began wrapping.
Our pipe cleaners were thick fuzz, so there
was some trimming that took place.
The yarn slips around a bit, so this is where I sort of took over.
I used hot glue to tack the yarn in place here and there...
Especially over the head. It was so slippery that
the yarn just kept sliding off.
Finally all mummified!
Step 4: Clothing!
You could use yarn or twine...but we have gangs of this stuff.
Now you are building the clothes!
You have to decide what you want your little voodoo baby to look like...I picked a pumpkin head guy.
The kids picked a fairy and a bunny. Then we did a bunch more!
I found that hot gluing the ends of the hands and
then wrapping from hand to hand works best.
How long does it take the glue to dry in each step?
Wow, super cool!!
i didnt have a wooden ball or bead so i made my head out of piipecleaner and just wrapped it around a bunch of times and it worked great!
These are adorable. My daughter has decided she wants to be a voodoo doll for Halloween, these will be perfect little accents!
Awesome project!

Product description
A young Englishman visits Cold War Leipzig with a group of students and falls for an East German girl who is only just beginning to wake up to the way her society is governed. Her situation touches him, but he is too frightened to help. He spends decades convincing himself that he is not in love until one day, with Germany now reunited, he decides to go back and look for her. But who was she, how will his actions have affected her, and how will her find her? All he knows of her identity is the nickname he gave her - Snowleg. Snowleg is a powerful love story that explores the close, fraught relationship between England and Germany, between a man who grows up believing himself to be a chivalrous English public schoolboy and a woman who tries to live loyally under a repressive regime.

Author information
Nicholas Shakespeare was born in 1957. The son of a diplomat, much of his youth was spent in the Far East and South America. His novels have been translated into twenty languages. They include The Vision of Elena Silves, winner of the Somerset Maugham Award, Snowleg and The Dancer Upstairs, which was chosen by the American Libraries Association in 1997 as the year's best novel, and in 2001 was made into a film of the same name by John Malkovich. His most recent novel is Secrets of the Sea. He is married with two small boys and currently lives in Oxford.
Review quote
"This novel is one of the finest attempts in English to convey something of two very strange places which no longer appear on the map of Europe... Shakespeare has told a very skilful story" Evening Standard "Offers more than high romance: it is a portrait, and a good one, of the East Germany of the Stasi, with its bleakly beautiful landscapes, its casual betrayals, and its subtle capacity to dehumanise" Daily Telegraph "His finest book yet. Beautifully written, rich in character, it displays all the courage for which its hero so desperately wants to be recognised" Economist "A heart-warming tale of rich, enabling coincidence and conquering love; love without frontiers" Guardian "Elegant metaphors, striking insights, eidetic settings and sensitive renditions of character - Shakespeare's writing is of a high order. Impressive" Time Out

A grassroots group wants to make sure South Bend's Howard Park doesn't get "thrown under the bus."
They say a deal to buy the old Transpo headquarters on Northside Boulevard near the park could put the park in jeopardy.
They are worried the park's playground and skating rink will be moved away from the river.
"There's going to be a road cut right through here," said Karen Schefmeyer with the Howard Park East Bank Neighborhood.
Schefmeyer is doing everything she can to get her message across, including wearing a bright yellow shirt that reads "Save Howard Park" in black lettering.
She also has more than 500 signatures on petitions.
"How many open spaces do you see like this in cities? It usually gets cut up, gobbled up, eaten up by developers," adds Schefmeyer.
Her grassroots group is concerned about plans to build housing, up to 900 or more apartments, on the former Transpo administration building and what that means for the Howard Park area.
They are especially worried about one proposal which calls for major changes to the Park.
"It will take out and wipe out this playground equipment. The senior center is gone. According to this plan, the ice skating rink is gone, too," explained Schefmeyer.
Schefmeyer also believes important negotiations regarding the future of Howard Park have gone on behind closed doors. She is so upset about it she filed a formal complaint with the state, citing that Transpo has violated the "Open Door Law."
It's an allegation Transpo denies.
"Transpo has been very committed to an open and transparent process throughout all of this." said Amy Hill, Transpo's Marketing Director.
But Schefmeyer is taking her fight to social media, a website and Facebook page with nearly 250 likes.
"We want to see the park enjoyed for generations to come. This should be a no-brainer," said Schefmeyer.
Due to community concerns and input from South Bend leaders, Transpo re-opened and extended the deadline for final bid proposals to this Friday.
Hill says she is not sure when the proposals will be made public.
She added they want to move forward as quickly as possible with the sale of the land that held their former headquarters.

With just three months of top-flight experience under his belt, in a squad brimming with seasoned performers, a young Luis Perez still managed to catch the eye in the Necaxa midfield during the FIFA Club World Cup Brazil 2000.
Eleven years after his debut on that global stage, the Mexico international is on the verge of earning a second crack at the tournament, but with a different team – Monterrey – and in a very different role, that of captain and leader.
FIFA.com spoke to the central midfielder, who has established himself as an icon of Mexican football thanks to his sumptous technique, control and passing.
Auspicious start
As the year 1999 drew to a close, while most people across the world were celebrating the arrival of a new millennium, CONCACAF representatives Necaxa could be found in a hotel, preparing to take part in the first edition of the FIFA Club World Cup.
Perez, just 19 at the time, was on the point of attaining an ambition he had held since childhood. "It was an experience that had a real impact on my career, and a dream I'd had since I was little," he recalled in an exclusive interview with FIFA.com.
The draw paired the Mexicans with the mighty Manchester United in their opening group fixture. Faced with a team of considerable standing in the game, Perez turned to his more mature team-mates – nine years his elder, on average – for information and advice. "The entire side had vast experience and gave me valuable pointers that I still follow to this day," he explained sincerely.
For Perez, sharing a dressing room with players of the calibre of Alex Aguinaga, Agustin Delgado and Sergio Almaguer was a learning opportunity not to be missed. "The long career that I've enjoyed has been built on the solid foundations that they provided me with," the Mexico City-born player admitted humbly.
Against the odds, Necaxa qualified for the third place play-off with Real Madrid, a match from which the CONCACAF outfit surprisingly emerged victorious by way of a penalty shoot-out. Perez scored his club's third spot kick that day, an exciting moment he has never forgotten. "It was amazing, an absolute dream. When you're young, you regard players like those as the cream of the crop," he added.
From learner to leader
Following his Brazilian adventure, Lucho went on to earn a reputation as one of Mexican football's top midfielders. He wore Necaxa colours for four years, before signing for current employers Monterrey in 2003.
Fast-forward to the present day, and Perez's role at Japan 2011 could not be more different from the one he fulfilled at Brazil 2000. One of the club's most experienced figures, he wears the captain's armband and leads by example, passing on his knowledge to his younger team-mates.
"Getting the chance to play in the Club World Cup should be one of the highlights of your career," he said. "I would recommend that you enjoy every minute of it. It's the ideal time to think about your own development as a player. Opportunities the chance to take on opposition of this quality don't come along very often, so you should try to learn from the best," added the Monterrey skipper.
Faced with the possibility of again competing with a Spanish giant in the form of Barcelona, Perez has been looking back on the 2000 clash with Real Madrid for inspiration. "Real had some world-class players in their side at the time, just like Barcelona do now. Nowadays you find that that teams are set up well and difficult to beat, but in the end it's the one that has the greatest desire, appetite and motive that generally comes out on top," he said.
If Los Rayados wish to finish on top of the pile in Japan, they will need to negotiate some tricky hurdles along the way, something of which Perez is very much aware. "You're up against the best in the world, and it's by no means easy. Every team taking part are champions of their own region," he pointed out.
The Monterrey No8 is not one to shirk a challenge, however, and concludes on a confident note: "We're hopeful of succeeding where previous Mexican sides have failed. With a bit of luck, we'll be the dark horses of the tournament, and manage to reach the final."

No. 2 Oklahoma State ended the stroke play portion of the event in first place with a three-under par total of 849. The Cowboys topped No. 13 Arizona State (862) by 13 shots, while No. 3 Southern California, No. 10 Arkansas and No. 4 Washington tied for third at 865.
The top eight teams move on to match play seeded by their order of finish. OSU will take on No. 1 Georgia (seeded eighth), while
It was a tough day for the Mocs as the wind whipped up cold temperatures making scoring difficult. With Texas A&M and Georgia in the house at 17-over par, UTC needed a four-under par 280, but it was not in the cards.
Freshman Stephan Jaeger led the team with a two-over par round of 73 followed closely by Derek Rende's 74, which was highlighted by a birdie on a slick downhill putt on the 18th hole to close out his round. Both Jaeger and Rende posted three birdies on the day.
Fredrik Qvicker was next with a four-over par 75. He had a team-high four birdies including sinking a six-foot putt on his final hole.
Seniors Jonathan Hodge and Ben Rickett closed their careers with an 80 and 77, respectively.
"I cannot begin to express how much Jonathan and Ben have meant to our program," said Head Coach Mark Guhne. "They really set the foundation and have been a joy on and off the course to coach.
"Overall, I am very proud of our effort," added Guhne. "Obviously we wanted a top eight finish and a chance to play for the national title, but we battled and never quit."
Jaeger and Qvicker led the Mocs finishing tied for 62nd at nine-over par, 222. Rende was next tied for 78th two shots back at 224 (+11).
While the team title will be decided this weekend in match play, the individual medalist was crowned today.

To any British kid who grew up watching James Bond, it might appear that Her Majesty's Secret Service is clever enough to defeat any adversary. After the Snowden revelations, many people have changed their mind about whether spies are still the good guys, but it's almost impossible to shake that English belief that the UK is home to the smartest of all spooks.
This week we were given the rare chance to see details of the tools British spies use to snoop on enemies, intercept digital communications, censor online content and even manipulate internet opinion polls. It all sounds terrifyingly Orwellian and certainly beyond the ken of most ordinary citizens. But the shadowy spy agencies might not be as bright as they appear, a leading security expert has suggested, relying on tools which are barely more powerful than those employed by neophyte hackers. So should we still be impressed by the skills of the secret services?
This document, published in The Intercept, is a list of "weaponised" programs designed by GCHQ's Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG), which carries out its operations shrouded in the unmost secrecy.
Described as "dangerous for any country that wishes to preserve genuine democratic debate", the cyber-espionage tools gives spies the ability to power to carry out sophisticated espionage, even though they have the sort of names you'd expect to be dreamed up by an adolescent 4Chan hacker.
Beartrap, for instance, gives GCHQ bulk access to Bebo accounts, while Underpass allows the outcome of polls to be altered. Angry Pirate can "permanently disable a target's account on their computer", Badger allows mass emailing in support of an "information operations campaign" while Silverlord is designed to remove extremist videos by "concerted target discovery and content removal".
The document urges spooks to think outside the box. "Don't treat this like a catalogue," it says. "If you don't see it here, it doesn't mean we can't build it."
Glenn Greenwald ominously warned the tools were the "most startling methods of propaganda and internet deception" contained in the Snowden archive and prove how "underhand and invasive" GCHQ can be.
But Robert Graham, a hacking expert at Errata Security, was unimpressed by the capabilities of Britain's secret services. In a blog post, he claimed that some of the tools devised by the boffins at this clandestine agency required just a "couple lines of code" and would not take "an average hacker more than a weekend to accomplish".
He was particularly critical of the Changeling tool, which offers the ability to access an email address, assume the identity of the owner and then send spoofed emails. "That's the sort of thing you'd ask as an interview question for a cybersec company," he suggested. "You'd expect the candidate to produce this in 20 minutes."
Many of the tools draw on open source projects, Graham continued, requiring just a small amount of scripting to refine the capabilities.
"People have the misapprehension that the intelligence services have advanced 'cyber-weapons'," he added. "That's not true. Instead, what's going on is like Rambo stuck in a jungle with only a knife, who can fashion anything into a weapon, from twigs to rocks. That's what you see going on here: given the existing base of open-source (and closed-source) code, cyber-warriors fashion new tools with a little bit of added code."
However, it's not quite the time to stop being spooked by secret agents. Even though the tools are simple, they can be rolled out on an enormous scale and hone in on millions of targets. Take XKeyScore, for example, which is a fairly simple packet sniffer. It's not so much a threat on its own, but if you consider the access spies have to underwater communication cables and the other key conduits of the internet, then the threat becomes much greater.
"They have better location tracking tools than the public, not because they have better technology but because they have better access," Graham concluded.
Of course, the secret services are always trying to devise new and innovative ways of arming the next generation of online spies. Crucially, the JTRIG document shows what GCHQ were up to back in 2012, not what they are working on at this very moment.

Type I fibers (sometimes called slow-twitch or slow-oxidative fibers) are better designed for prolonged exercise performed at a lower intensity. In comparison to Type II fibers, Type I fibers will have more mitochondria and rely more heavily on the aerobic generation of ATP. The primary energy molecules used to generate ATP in these muscle cells will be fatty acids and glucose. Since ATP production in mitochondria requires oxygen, proper function of these muscle fibers is very dependent upon oxygen supply via the blood. Luckily, Type I muscle cells always seem to have many capillaries around them to deliver oxygen-endowed blood. In addition, Type I fibers contain a substance called myoglobin which is an iron-containing protein that binds oxygen and serves as an oxygen reserve for these cells during exercise.
Type II muscle fibers (sometimes called fast-twitch or fast-glycolytic fibers) can execute a much faster speed of contraction than Type I muscle fibers. This is to say that Type II muscle fibers are designed to generate force more rapidly, thereby allowing them to be more powerful. This will allow a job to be performed in a shorter amount of time. Meanwhile, Type II muscle fibers are relatively limited in their ability to generate ATP by aerobic means. So, when these cells break down glucose to pyruvate andgenerate a couple ATP in the process, much of the pyruvate that is formed will then be converted to lactic acid (lactate). This is because these muscle cells have less mitochondria and receive less oxygen as they are served by fewer blood vessels.

What happened to 2012? It went fast, so Happy New Year 2013
The only reason I know it's Dec. 30, 2012, is because the calendar says so.
Where did the year go and why did it seem so fast?
In two days, it'll be New Year's Eve and another year dawning.
Looking through the 2012 pages of The Daily Courier recently, it seems just like yesterday the news staff was heading down to Ellenboro on a Wednesday evening in January as a tornado had touched down, hurting people and leaving destruction in its path.
Folks were crying for help at the scene and their homes had toppled on them.
Now 11 months later, all family members are back in their respective homes; doing their routine chores, back at work and yes, still recovering from some of the injuries.
Financially, some are still reeling from the pain of the destruction.
I'll always remember the hundreds of volunteers who arrived at the scene immediately and came back for weeks. I'll also recall the small handful of volunteers who were still at the scene just a month ago, trying to help one last family back home.
Thanks for all you have done.
The news was bad and the news was good last year.
We can celebrate that at least 500 more jobs should be available in 2013 with the opening of Horsehead and Valley Fine Foods for people needing work.
Rutherford County remains desperate for jobs as our unemployment rate is still in the double digit figures, but it is improving.
The generous and good people have responded to the needs of so many who have needed home repairs, homes built, food to eat and places to stay.
Rutherford Housing Partnership, the nonprofit organization that repairs homes of low income, continues to do amazing work with a core of volunteers who just keep on keeping on.
Among some of RHP's volunteers are the Women Roofers, who made the national news in the fall when they were featured on CBS Evening News. Correspondent Bryon Pitts arrived in Rutherford County for the interview, climbed the ladder and sat on the roof for about an hour, asking them why they volunteer.
By the way, People magazine has also been here and we hope to hear more from them soon.
Volunteers have spent countless hours in all facets of life — making sure people had the necessities.
Habitat for Humanity volunteers are finishing four homes for new families and will undertake the tasks of building four more in 2013.
Volunteer firefighters, rescue personnel, traffic controllers and others who respond to every day medical calls and emergencies, thanks for your help.
We congratulate every person who attained even one single goal in 2012 and encourage those who had the fortitude to try to set and reach professional and personal goals.
Congratulations to whose who chose to keep looking ahead.
We said good bye to some of our favorite entertainers — good ole' North Carolinians, Andy Griffith, Earl Scruggs, Dot Watson; and cried with families closer to home whose loved ones wandered away and couldn't find their way back.
For every student, teacher and administrative staff member in our schools across Rutherford County, you remain in our prayers and on our hearts as 2013 begins.
We cannot forget Sandy Hook Elementary School and the aftermath of what that shooting has done to those innocent children and their families. We pray for your safety.
So as we say goodbye to 2012 and look forward to 2013, hoping for the best year ever — we'll try to tell your amazing stories, keep you informed of news pertinent to Rutherford County and share bits and pieces of every day life here — this place I call home.
Happy New Year.

Popular iPhone case maker, Spigen, seems to have leaked the release date for the iPhone 6. A slew of iPhone 6 cases are now showing up on Amazon with an availability date of September 30th. Various reports have suggested that Apple will be announcing the iPhone 6 on September 19th and it should be available at the end of the month. Looks like Spigen is all prepared for the release with their cases and screen guards for the iPhone 6. Also, according to the case maker, the 5.5-inch model will be called iPhone 6 Air.
Amazon is currently showing a number of iPhone 6 cases from Spigen and other manufactures when you search for iPhone 6 cases. However, what's interesting is that all the Spigen cases are going to be available on September 30th. You can pre-order them now and get them when the iPhone 6 is released. The larger 5.5-inch is being called iPhone 6 Air and the 4.7-inch model is simply called iPhone 6. We've heard of the iPhone 6 Air name being used before, which adds a little more weight to this leak.
Below is one of the cases being sold for the iPhone 6 Air (5.5-inch) model. Notice how the Power button is on the right side of the case. All the iPhone 6 mockups and dummy models have all had the Power button on the right side, so these cases are probably based on them.
The iPhone 6 is said to have a curved front glass, mostly made of Sapphire and rounded edges with an all aluminum shell. The innards will include an A8 processor, improved camera with OIS, better graphics and more. Spigen has been known to leak iPhone cases before the release of the actual product, so this could be the real deal. It could also be a clever marketing strategy to boost sales.
Will the iPhone 6 be available on September 30th? Will the 5.5-inch model be called iPhone 6 Air? If there is one, that is. Hopefully, we'll find out soon.

Structured Wiring Training Class
I recently attended an excellent one-day structured wiring training class on how to install low voltage systems like phone, data, audio and video in residential applications. It's called the Residential Network Cabling Installer Program and is sponsored by Ideal Industries, CerroWire, SouthWire, Klein Tools, Leviton, and Commercial Electric (CE) Tech. It is hosted by Home Depot in their regional training centers around the country.
Click here for future training dates and locations. http://www.idealindustries.com/sales/hd/input.action
The primary instructor is Ron Kipper, IDEAL's Corporate Trainer with over 25 years experience in the electrical and low voltage industry. Here's his YouTube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/RonKipperDatacomm (Yes, it's filmed in the corner of his basement woodworking shop!)
The one day agenda (8 AM to 5 PM) includes the following topics:
• The Residential Environment
• Codes, Standards, and Regulations
• Residential Structured Wiring Systems
• Data and Phone Systems
• Connectivity
• Audio Systems
• Design, Planning, and Specifications
• Hands On Installations
• Testing and Troubleshooting
Class size is limited to 20 but it is not restricted to electricians. There were several builders interested in learning more about what's available and how to include it in their homes.
The course costs $89 but that includes a nice set of Klein low voltage tools and a free lunch that Ron promises will always be a good one. (Our class went to Chili's and could order anything on the menu but the cocktails!)
The technician's service kit has a Klein VDV427-807 110/66 Multitool Punchdown ($60), Klein VDV100-80 Dual Cartridge Radial Stripper ($20), Klein 21010-6 Free Fall Snip ($17), and two Sharpies all in a Klein zippered bag.
These came in handy (along with some more expensive loaner tools that we had to return afterwards) for the hands on portion of the class when we made up various types of data connections. These were tested at the end of the day and I'm pleased to report that all mine worked.
All the course material (from the actual PowerPoint slides) is included in a binder so you don't have to furiously take notes during class. That's good because he covers a lot of material at a fast pace and you'll want to go back afterwards to soak it all in.
All in all, it was a great learning opportunity and I would encourage anyone interested in low voltage applications to sign up to attend when they come to your area.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Re: Structured Wiring Training Class
I'm surprised there is a demand for SW anymore in residential. I wired my house for it including a fiber line. Everything we wire now is individual locations and of course wireless too. The phone line is the real dilemma now. So is where to put CATV (high or low)

If you're looking for a reliable, lightweight, and good-looking alternative to the standard Van's tailwheel tire, look no further!
Precision made internal rudder stop
Better handling on the ground and significantly improved clearance make this tailwheel a clear choice for upgrading from the stock tailwheel fork.
The RV Rocket Steering Link is a good way to tidy up the tail end of your aircraft. It weighs less and it is a simple way to replace those draggy looking chains and springs.

- 5-(3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thione (2010)
- The two rings in the title compound, C11H12N2O4S, are roughly coplanar [dihedral angle = 6.77 (8)°]. Whereas the two outer methyl groups of the three methoxy groups are almost coplanar with the aromatic ring to which they are attached [C—C—O—C torsion angles = 8.5 (3) and -8.3 (3)°], the methyl group of the central methoxy substituent is not [C—C—C—C = -78.4 (3)°]. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H ... O hydrogen bonding.
- (Biphenyl-4-yl)(phenyl)methanone (2010)
- In the title compound, C19H14O, the dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings of the biphenyl residue is 8.0 (3)° and the dihedral angle between the two rings connected by the carbonyl C atom is 51.74 (18)°. There are no short C—H ... O contacts in the crystal structure.
- 3,3'-Dibutanoyl-1,1'-(o-phenylene)dithiourea (2010)
- The molecular conformation of the title compound, C16H22N4O2S2, is stabilized by two intramolecular N—H ... O hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing shows N—H ... O and N—H ... S hydrogen bonds.
- 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4,4,6-trimethyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-thione (2010)
- The dihydropyrimidine ring of the title compound, C13H15ClN2S, adopts an envelope conformation with five almost coplanar atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.054 Å) and the C atom bearing the two methyl substituents deviating from this plane by 0.441 (2) Å. The best plane through the five almost coplanar atoms forms a dihedral angle of 89.56 (5)° with the benzene ring. The crystal packing is characterized by centrosymmetric dimers connected by pairs of N—H ... S hydrogen bonds.
- N-Cyclohexyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamide (2009)
- The 3,5-methoxy groups in the title compound, C16H23NO4, are almost coplanar with the aromatic ring, whereas the 4-methoxy group is bent out of this plane. The three CH3—O—C—C torsion angles are -1.51 (18), 0.73 (19) and 75.33 (15)°. The cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, molecules are connected by intermolecular N—H ... O hydrogen bonds into chains running along the b axis.
- Ethyl 4-[3-(2-methylbenzoyl)thioureido]benzoate (2009)
- The molecular conformation of the title compound, C18H18N2O3S, is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H ... O hydrogen bond. The crystal packing shows centrosymmetric dimers connected by N—H ... S hydrogen bonds. The terminal ethoxy substituents are statistically disordered [occupancy ratio 0.527 (5):0.473 (5)].
- Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1-(3-fluorophenyl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)thiourea (2011)
- The title thiourea was synthesized by reaction of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl isothiocyante with 3-fluoroaniline. The 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl isothiocyante was produced in situ by reaction of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl chloride with ammonium thiocyanate in dry acetonitrile. The structure was confirmed by the spectroscopic, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with unit cell dimensions a = 13.0966(9), b = 16.6460(13), c = 7.8448(5), β = 106.721(5)°, V 1637.9(2) ų, Z = 4.
- Space group revsion of the triclinic polymorph of salicyl-aldehyde azine (2012)
- The structure of the title compound, C14H12N2O2 {systematic name: 2,2′-[hydrazinediylidenebis(methanylylidene)]diphenol}, has already been determined in the triclinic space group P An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-68-0o255-efi1.jpg with Z = 4 [El-Medani, Aboaly, Abdalla & Ramadan (2004 [triangle]). Spectrosc. Lett. 37, 619–632]. However, the correct space group should be P21/c with Z = 4. This structure is a new polymorph of the already known monoclinic polymorph of salicyladehyde azine, which crystallizes in space group P21/n with Z = 2. The benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 46.12 (9)°. Two intramolucular O—H[cdots, three dots, centered]N hydrogen bonds occur.
- Methyl 2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate (2012)
- The title compound, C11H8O4, features an almost planar molecule (r.m.s. deviation = 0.033 Å for all non-H atoms). In the crystal, the molecules are linked via C-H...O hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional networks lying parallel to (1-21).

A day late — sorry 'bout that — but here are a baker's dozen fantastic photos of Sunday evening's Beck / Metric show at Les Schwab Amphitheater, as taken by The Bulletin's Joe Kline. Beck drew the smallest crowd of the weekend (4,500ish) but delivered a much more inspired set than he did last time he visited Bend in 2008. This time, he was engaged, smiling and having fun; he seemed into it. It helped, I think, that he played a set heavy with old stuff and powered by his old backing band from the 1990s. Anyway, more on the show later, for now, you really should scroll down and check out Joe's shots.

Sometimes I wish I could blow
thousands hundreds of dollars on clothes for Josephine without feeling overwhelming guilt. Instead, I visit online stores, fill my shopping cart, and abandon them. Somehow, this makes me feel better – if only for a moment.
Today, I found myself visiting Zara again. I love how delicate and simple a lot of their little girl clothes are. Here are some of the items I wish I could buy for the fall. Unfortunately, I just can't justify $30+ dollars on shoes for Josephine right now. I don't think she'll wear them enough.

Eisner: Apple hogs digital profits
updated 02:45 pm EST, Wed November 7, 2007
Disney says: blame Apple
Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner this morning said digital media distribution is currently at best a break-even business, and that Apple gobbles up most of what little money is made, according to a report from News.com. "[The studios] make deals with Steve Jobs, who takes them to the cleaners," Disney's chief explained. "They make all these kinds of things, and who's making money? Apple! They should get a piece of Apple. If I was a union, I'd be striking up wherever he is," Eisner remarked, presumably referring to Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
The executive went so far as to dub the ongoing Writer's Guild of America strike "stupid," saying that digital distribution will not become profitable for three more years and that the guild's request for a slice of the digital distribution pie just doesn't exist.
Eisner says in three years the business will start to turn profits, but for now the studios are likely only on board to avoid being left behind.
"The studios are there because they don't want to be in the transportation business and telling everybody that they're in the train business," he said. "They want to be in the entertainment business, and god forbid they should forget yet another distribution track."

Last weekend's 4-1 Premier League defeat of Wigan and the 1-0 Europa League victory at Sparta Prague on Thursday gave the Blues back-to-back wins for the first time since December.
They will now be seeking to make it a hat-trick against the League One side at Stamford Bridge and book a fifth-round trip to Middlesbrough.
"It was a very important game for us to win and to keep the momentum going," said Ivanovic after the first leg of the Europa League last 32 tie in the Czech Republic.
"The lack of consistency has been very difficult for us, but we are a team that can build and we have to think about this.
"We have to improve every game, every session and we hope it will be fine in the end.
"It was our first game in the Europa League and it was difficult, but we got the goal and that gave us the advantage.
"Sometimes in a different competition you're not sure what to expect in the games, but now we know much better. It was a good win for us.
"We have had a lot of games. We have played every three days for the last four months. This has made it difficult. Sometimes you're not recovered and don't have a big enough squad.
"All these things affect results, but you have to be stronger. Now we have some time, we can recover and play our games with a better performance."

As previously reported, Ric Flair is at the center of the lawsuit between WWE and TNA. Flair will not be brought back in by WWE until the lawsuit between WWE and TNA is settled.
It is thought that Flair would have signed already if it was not for the lawsuit, and that he will eventually rejoin the company.

A fluidic medical diagnostic device permits measurement of analyte concentration or a property of a biological fluid, particularly the coagulation time of blood. The device has at one end a sample port for introducing a sample and at the other end a bladder for drawing the sample to a measurement area. A channel carries the sample from the sample port to the measurement area, and a stop junction, between the measurement area and bladder, halts the sample flow. The desired measurement can be made by placing the device into a meter which measures a physical property of the sample—typically, optical transmittance—after it has interacted with a reagent in the measurement area.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/333,765, filed Jun. 15, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,521,182 which claims benefit from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/093,421, filed Jul. 20, 1998, which applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a fluidic medical diagnostic device for measuring the concentration of an analyte in or a property of a biological fluid.
2. Description of the Related Art
A variety of medical diagnostic procedures involve tests on biological fluids, such as blood, urine, or saliva, and are based on a change in a physical characteristic of such a fluid or an element of the fluid, such as blood serum. The characteristic can be an electrical, magnetic, fluidic, or optical property. When an optical property is monitored, these procedures may make use of a transparent or translucent device to contain the biological fluid and a reagent. A change in light absorption of the fluid can be related to an analyte concentration in, or property of, the fluid. Typically, a light source is located adjacent to one surface of the device and a detector is adjacent to the opposite surface. The detector measures light transmitted through a fluid sample. Alternatively, the light source and detector can be on the same side of the device, in which case the detector measures light scattered and/or reflected by the sample. Finally, a reflector may be located at or adjacent to the opposite surface. A device of this latter type, in which light is first transmitted through the sample area, then reflected through a second time, is called a "transflectance" device. References to "light" throughout this specification and the appended claims should be understood to include the infrared and ultraviolet spectra, as well as the visible. References to "absorption" are meant to refer to the reduction in intensity as a light beam passes through a medium; thus, it encompasses both "true" absorption and scattering.
An example of a transparent test device is described in Wells et al. W094/02850, published on Feb. 3, 1994. Their device comprises a sealed housing, which is transparent or translucent, impervious, and rigid or semi-rigid. An assay material is contained within the housing, together with one or more assay reagents at predetermined sites. The housing is opened and the sample introduced just before conducting the assay. The combination of assay reagents and analyte in the sample results in a change in optical properties, such as color, of selected reagents at the end of the assay. The results can be read visually or with an optical instrument.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,620,676, issued on Nov. 16, 1971 to Davis, discloses a colorimetric indicator for liquids. The indicator includes a "half-bulb cavity", which is compressible. The bulb is compressed and released to form a suction that draws fluid from a source, through a half-tubular cavity that has an indicator imprinted on its wall. The only controls on fluid flow into the indicator are how much the bulb is compressed and how long the indicator inlet is immersed in the source, while the bulb is released.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,640,267, issued on Feb. 8, 1972 to Hurtig et al., discloses a container for collecting is samples of body fluid that includes a chamber that has resilient, collapsible walls. The walls are squeezed before the container inlet is placed into the fluid being collected. When released, the walls are restored to their uncollapsed condition, drawing fluid into and through the inlet. As with the Davis device, discussed above, control of fluid flow into the indicator is very limited.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,088,448, issued on May 9, 1978 to Lilja et al., discloses a cuvette, which permits optical analysis of a sample mixed with a reagent. The reagent is coated on the walls of a cavity, which is then filled with a liquid sample. The sample mixes with the reagent to cause an optically-detectable change.
A number of patents, discussed below, disclose devices for diluting and/or analyzing biological fluid samples. These devices include valve-like designs to control the flow of the sample.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,426,451, issued on Jan. 17, 1984 to Columbus, discloses a multi-zone fluidic device that has pressure-actuatable means for controlling the flow of fluid between the zones. His device makes use of pressure balances on a liquid meniscus at the interface between a first zone and a second zone that has a different cross section. When both the first and second zones are at atmospheric pressure, surface tension creates a back pressure that stops the liquid meniscus from proceeding from the first zone to the second. The configuration of this interface or "stop junction" is such that the liquid flows into the second zone only upon application of an externally generated pressure to the liquid in the first zone that is sufficient to push the meniscus into the second zone.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,868,129, issued on Sep. 19, 1989 to Gibbons et al., discloses that the back pressure in a stop junction can be overcome by hydrostatic pressure on the liquid in the first zone, for example by having a column of fluid in the first zone.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,230,866, issued on Jul. 27, 1993 to Shartle et al., discloses a fluidic device with multiple stop junctions in which the surface tension-induced back pressure at the stop junction is augmented; for example, by trapping and compressing gas in the second zone. The compressed gas can then be vented before applying additional hydrostatic pressure to the first zone to cause fluid to flow into the second zone. By varying the back pressure of multiple stop junctions in parallel, "rupture junctions" can be formed, having lower maximum back pressure.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,472,603, issued on Dec. 5, 1995 to Schembri (see also U.S. Pat. No. 5,627,041), discloses using centrifugal force to overcome the back pressure in a stop junction. When flow stops, the first zone is at atmospheric pressure plus a centrifugally generated pressure that is less than the pressure required to overcome the back pressure. The second zone is at atmospheric pressure. To resume flow, additional centrifugal pressure is applied to the first zone, overcoming the meniscus back pressure. The second zone remains at atmospheric pressure.
European Patent Application EP 0 803 288, of Naka et al., published on Oct. 29, 1997, discloses a device and method for analyzing a sample that includes drawing the sample into the device by suction, then reacting the sample with a reagent in an analytical section. Analysis is done by optical or electrochemical means. In alternate embodiments, there are multiple analytical sections and/or a bypass channel. The flow among these sections is balanced without using stop junctions.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,700,695, issued on Dec. 23, 1997 to Yassinzadeh et al., discloses an apparatus for collecting and manipulating a biological fluid that uses a "thermal pressure chamber" to provide the driving force for moving the sample through the apparatus.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,736,404, issued on Apr. 7, 1998, to Yassinzadeh et al., discloses a method for determining the coagulation time of a blood sample that involves causing an end of the sample to oscillate within a passageway. The oscillating motion is caused by alternately increasing and decreasing the pressure on the sample.
The present invention provides a fluidic diagnostic device for measuring an analyte concentration or property of a biological fluid. The device comprises
In another embodiment, the device comprises
The device is particularly well adapted for measuring prothrombin time (PT time), with the biological fluid being whole blood and the measurement area having a composition that catalyzes the blood clotting cascade.
This invention relates to a fluidic device for analyzing biological fluid. The device is of the type that relates a physical parameter of the fluid, or an element of the fluid, to an analyte concentration in the fluid or to a property of the fluid. Although a variety of physical parameters—e.g., electrical, magnetic, fluidic, or optical—can form the basis for the measurement, a change in optical parameters is a preferred basis, and the details that follow refer to an optical device. The device includes a sample application area; a bladder, to create a suction force to draw the sample into the device; a measurement area, in which the sample may undergo a change in an optical parameter, such as light scattering; and a stop junction to precisely stop flow after filling the measurement area.
Preferably, the device is substantially transparent over the measurement area, so that the area can be illuminated by a light source on one side and the transmitted light measured on the opposite side. The measurement on the sample may be of a parameter that is not changing, but typically the sample undergoes a change in the measurement area, and the change in transmitted light is a measure of the analyte or fluid property of interest. Alternatively, light that is scattered from a fluid sample or light that passes through the sample and is reflected back through a second time (by a reflector on that opposite side) can be detected by a detector on the same side as the light source.
This type of device is suitable for a variety of analytical tests of biological fluids, such as determining biochemical or hematological characteristics, or measuring the concentration in such fluids of proteins, hormones, carbohydrates, lipids, drugs, toxins, gases, electrolytes, etc. The procedures for performing these tests have been described in the literature. Among the tests, and where they are described, are the following:
The present device is particularly well suited for measuring blood-clotting time—"prothrombin time" or "PT time"—and details regarding such a device appear below. The modifications needed to adapt the device for applications such as those listed above require no more than routine experimentation.
As shown in
As shown in
The method of using the strip of
As described above, the detector senses a sample in sample port 12, simply by detecting a reduction in (specular) reflection of a light signal that is emitted by 42 a and detected by 42 b. However, that simple system cannot easily distinguish between a whole blood sample and some other liquid (e.g., blood serum) placed in the sample port in error or, even, an object (e.g., a finger) that can approach sample port 12 and cause the system to erroneously conclude that a proper sample has been applied. To avoid this type of error, another embodiment measures diffuse reflection from the sample port. This embodiment appears in
The device pictured in FIG. 2 and described above is preferably formed by laminating thermoplastic sheets 26 and 28 to a thermoplastic intermediate layer 24 that has adhesive on both of its surfaces. The cutouts that form the elements shown in
The bypass channel of
Bypass channel 52 minimizes that risk. The reduced pressure on the bladder side of the stop junction draws sample into the bypass channel (
If either or both of these control measurements are outside the range, then a retest is indicated. Extended stop junction 422 stops flow in all three measurement areas.
All the previous figures depict the device of this invention as a laminated strip structure; however, the device could also be an injection-molded structure of the type shown in
The principle of operation of the injection molded device is the same as described above. It provides greater flexibility in the design of the stop junction, as well as the other elements of the device, because a wide range of channel cross sections are feasible. The molded structure also provides more rigidity, although it is substantially more costly.
The following examples demonstrate the present invention in its various embodiments, but are not intended to be in any way limiting.
A strip of this invention is made by first passing a double-sided adhesive tape (RX 675SLT, available from Scapa Tapes, Windsor, Conn.) sandwiched between two release liners into a laminating and rotary die-cutting converting system. The pattern shown in
A procedure that is similar to the one described in Example 1 is followed to make a strip of the type depicted in FIG. 10. Reagent that is bubble-jet printed onto areas 118P, 218P, and 318P is, respectively, thromboplastin; thromboplastin, bovine eluate, and recombinant Factor VIIa; and thromboplastin and bovine eluate alone. The bovine eluate (plasma barium citrate bovine eluate) is available from Haemotologic Technologies, Burlington, Vt.; and recombinant Factor VIIa from American Diagnostica, Greenwich, Conn.
Measurements made on a whole blood sample using the strip of this Example yield a curve of the type shown in
The device of
The invention having been fully described, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that many modifications and changes may be made to it without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Video:How to Melt Chocolate in a Microwavewith Brent Rose
Melting chocolate in the microwave is the quickest and cleanest way there is. Here's how to microwave chocolate with a simple guide.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Melt Chocolate in a MicrowaveYou always want to avoid all contact with water! Chocolate will seize and become unworkable if it comes into contact with even a few droplets of water. Make sure your bowls, workstation, knives, and spatulas are completely dry.
Tips for Melting Chocolate in a MicrowaveNow let's get microwave-specific: The most critical part of melting chocolate in the microwave is choosing an appropriate container. Ideally, you want to melt your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl that remains cool or only slightly warm after several minutes of near-continuous microwaving. If the bowl is too hot for you to handle after it has been microwaved, it is too hot for your chocolate. (TIP: If you aren't sure, carefully test the bowls before hand with a bit of water in them.)
Chocolate is very delicate and can become lumpy or grainy if overheated, so you must your heat chocolate slowly. Use a the 50% power setting, to avoid scorching or burning it. If your microwave does not have this option, heat the chocolate in intervals of 15 seconds, rather than 30. Additionally, if your microwave does not have a turntable that rotates the bowl of chocolate, manually turn the bowl each time you stop and stir the chocolate. 30 seconds at a time on half power is a good rule of thumb.
Stir the Melting ChocolateOnce the outer edges start to melt, stir the chocolate every 30 seconds with a rubber spatula. Chocolate retains its shape when melted, so the only way to know if it is truly melted is to stir it. Do not rely on appearances alone. It is very difficult to determine exact microwaving times, as it can vary depending on microwave wattage, quantity of chocolate, and even the cocoa butter content of the chocolate. However, as a very rough guide, estimate about 1 minute for 1 ounce of chocolate, 3 minutes for 8 ounces of chocolate, 3.5 minutes for 1 pound of chocolate, and 4 minutes for 2 pounds. Again, run the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring each time in between and rotating the bowl if necessary.
Finish heating when most, but not all, of the chocolate is melted. Stir the chocolate continuously until it is smooth, shiny, and completely melted. It should now be ready for your baking, cooking, or dipping needs, as I'm demonstrating here with these marshmallows. TIP: If you have accidentally overheated your chocolate, immediately pour it into a cool bowl, add chunks of un-melted chocolate, and stir continuously. You might be able to rescue it.

Website: $40K salary needed to buy average Phoenix home
PHOENIX -- People aiming to purchase a median-priced home in the Phoenix metro area need to make slightly more than $40,000 annually, a website said.
"In Phoenix, to buy a median-priced home during the first quarter according to the Realtors, you'll need $41,309 in salary," said HSH.com Vice President Keith Gumbinger.
The median price for a home in the Valley is $194,300. Arizona falls nearly in the middle of the pack when it comes to the cost of buying a median-priced home in a metro area.
The website said there has been less than a 1 percent increase in home prices this quarter compared to the last, but prices have gone up 15 percent over last year.
"This is great news for home sellers, not as great for homebuyers," said Gumbinger.
To calculate the figure, HSH.com used the National Association of Realtors' first-quarter data for median home prices and HSH.com's first-quarter average interest rate for 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages, to determine how much of a homeowner's salary it would take to afford the base cost of owning a home.
