Duluth police have arrested two men they say broke into a business in the Central Hillside neighborhood. They are 35 and 24 years old, both of Duluth, according to police.
A news release from public information officer Jim Hansen says the burglary happened at the 4th Street Auto Lube on the 600 block of East 4th Street at 7:55 on Monday night.
Hansen said when officers arrived on the scene they found one man with cash on him taken from a business money bag. Hansen said officers also found tools and a laptop from the business inside the other man's bag.
The men have criminal records, according to Hansen. He said the 35-year-old man has DWI convictions dating back to 1996. Hansen also said the 24-year-old man has drug, theft and DWI convictions dating back to 2007.
The men are being held at the St. Louis County Jail pending burglary and property damage charges.

TRAILER MIX: Evan Alllllllrighty Then
The trailer for Evan Almighty was released today, and to be honest I'm torn. On the one hand you have Steve Carrell (which is awesome), but on the other hand you have adorable animals reminiscent of Dr. Doolittle 2. It could go either way. Click the picture below to watch the trailer, then let us know what you think. Excited to see it, or did Steve (and God) make a big mistake?
Jenna Jameson's Vagina Is A Bigger Mess Than Previously Believed
Mutant Jenna (pictured, right)– the artist formerly known as pornstar Jenna Jameson– appears to have gone too far with her love of plastic surgery. Having already made certain body parts bigger, other body parts smaller, and the rest of them a whole lot tighter, Jenna reportedly went under the knife in an attempt to make her va-jay-jay more fuel efficient. Or something like that.
Things apparently didn't go well, though. In perhaps the quote of the year, a source says:
"She underwent a vaginoplasty at a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, and she is very unhappy. She has decided to hole up and not speak to anybody."
Yeah, I know bolding "hole up" was a little excessive, but we're talking about a woman who bangs people on camera. Why should I be the one to show restraint?
Read the rest of the story here.

VIDEO HITS ONE: Low's "Breaker"
Remember back in the late 90's when every music video you saw featured pyro and jet-skis and models and must've cost millions of millions of dollars to produce? Well, those days are looooong gone.

What I'm trying to get at is, it's make or break time for some of our favorite TV shows that haven't been rating well. New shows like Supernatural and Jericho are in danger; older shows like Scrubs and Veronica Mars aren't safe either. The axe is going to fall and it's going to fall hard. Because if the networks want to clear space for 80 more hours of television involving celebrities singing, dancing, or criticizing the way normal people sing and dance, cuts have to be made. Yeah. I think it sucks too.
If you're not ready to say goodbye to your favorite show, head over to E!'s SAVE ONE SHOW and vote on the one show you want E! to throw their support behind. You only get one vote, so make sure you choose carefully. Since I gave up on Studio 60 months ago and I secretly suspect 30 Rock is safe, I voted for How I Met Your Mother. Because dammit, I want to know how. Who are you gonna pick? Suit up and vote now!

Streptolysin-free hyaluronic acid is produced by cultivating a microorganism belonging to a genus Steptococcus which is anhemolytic and is capable of producing hyaluronic acid (e.g., Streptococcus zooepidemicus FERM BP-784) in a culture medium.
1. A method of preparing hyaluronic acid free from streptolysin comprising the steps of:
a. obtaining an anhemolytic mutant of Streptococcus zooepidemicus microorganisms capable of producing hyaluronic acid;
b. growing a culture of said anhemolytic mutant;
c. recovering hyaluronic acid free from streptolysin from said culture of anhemolytic mutant.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said anhemolytic mutant is obtained by the selective isolation of cultured Streptococcus zooepidemicus microorganisms having decreased hemolysis.
3. The method of claim 2 wherein said microorganisms having decreased hemolysis are subjected to UV or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine mutation treatment.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein said microorganisms subjected to mutation treatment which exhibit viscous colony growth and are anhemolytic are recovered.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein said anhemolytic mutant is Streptococcus zooepidemicus FERM BP-784.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a fermentation method for producing hyaluronic acid. More specifically, it relates to a fermentation method for producing streptolysin-free hyaluronic acid by cultivating (or incubating) a microorganism belonging to genus Streptococcus.
2. Description of the Related Art
Hitherto, Hyaluronic acid has been isolated from the hyaloid liquid of bovine eyes, cockscombs, umbilici, and articulation liquid of chickens and is known to be used as a substance which maintains a jelly state by bonding with proteins or the other mucopolysaccharides and water to thereby act as a lubricant, to prevent the invasion of bacteria, and retain water. However, the above method is disadvantageous in that the cost of obtaining the hyaluronic acid is too high.
It has been reported in, for example, B. Holmstrom, Appl. Microbial, 15(6), 1409-1413, 1967, J. B. Woolcock, J. Gen. Microbial, 85, 372-375, 1974, and E. Kjem, Acta Pathol. Microbial. Scand, 84(3), 162-164, 1976 that hyaluronic acid can be produced relatively cheaply by utilizing bacteria strains belonging to the genus Streptococcus such as Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus equi, Streptococcus equisimilis, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, and Streptococcus zooepidemicus. However, according to Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology (8th edition, 1974), all of the above-mentioned strains belong to biogenic groups of genus Streptococcus, such as lactic acid and A or C type bacteria of a Lancefield serum group. That is, these strains are bacteria generally known as hemolytic streptococci, and are known to exhibit β-hemolysis by soluble hemolysin, i.e., streptolysin. Although correlationship between the streptolysin producing capability and the pathogenicity is not clearly understood, the hyaluronic acid product is likely to be unpreferably contaminated with the above-mentioned proteins when hyaluronic acid is industrially produced from the cultivation of the above-mentioned strains. Especially, when wishing to incorporate hyaluronic acid into medical compositions for external use or into cosmetic compositions, it is preferable that streptolysin be completely removed from the hyaluronic acid product since these compositions are applied to the skin.
When subculturing of the above-mentioned strains is continued, not only is the hemolysis gradually decreased but also the hyaluronic acid producing capability is decreased, and the mucoid colonies disappear. Furthermore, the hemolysis of the strains still remains after repeated subculturing. Consequently, it is very difficult or almost impossible to effectively produce hyaluronic acid not contaminated by streptolysin.
Accordingly, the objects of the present invention are to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages and to provide a fermentation method for producing hyaluronic acid not containing streptolysin.
Another object of the present invention is to find a microorganism which is anhemolytic and is capable of effectively producing hyaluronic acid.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a fermentation method for producing streptolysin-free hyaluronic acid comprising the steps of (i) cultivating a mircroorganism belonging to a genus Streptococcus which is anhemolytic and is capable of producing hyaluronic acid in a culture medium and (ii) isolating streptolysin-free hyaluronic acid from the cultivated product.
The present invention will be better understood from the description set forth below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 graphically illustrates the correlationship between the production amount (g/l) of hyaluronic acid, the glucose amount (%), or the cell growth (OD.sub. 660), and the cultivation time (hr) during the cultivation in Example 2; and
FIG. 2 is an infrared absorption spectrum of hyaluronic acid obtained in Example 2.
The microorganisms usable in the fermentation according to the present invention are mutants belonging to genus Streptococcus which are anhemolitic and are capable of producing hyaluronic acid. A typical example of such a mutant is Streptococcus zooepidemicus NH-131 which is an anhemolytic mutant of a strain belonging to Streptococcus zooepidemicus and which has been deposited since April 14, 1984 in the Fermentation Research Institute (FRI) in Japan as FERM P-7580 and transferred to the Fermentation Research Institute (FRI) (i.e., International Depository Authority under Budapest Treaty at Tsukuba in Japan) as FERM BP-784 under the Budapest Treaty.
The strain Streptococcus zooepidemicus NH-131 has been isolated from the strain streptococcus zooepidemicus obtained from the tunica conjunctiva bulbi of a guinea pig as shown in Example 1.
The anhemolytic mutants of Streptococcus zooepidemicus can be selectively isolated as follows. That is, the cells of the strain Streptococcus zooepidemicus are subcultured to select the cells of the strain having decreased or reduced hemolysis. The selected cells are subjected to a conventional mutation treatment by using ultraviolet (UV) light or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (i.e., NTG). The cells thus treated as spread on a blood agar medium and, after growth, mutants having anhemolysis and capable of forming viscous colonies are selectively collected. Thus, the desired mutants can be obtained.
The morphological characteristics of the Streptococcus zooepidemicus NH-131 are shown below. The Streptococcus zooepidemicus NH-131 mutant has substantially the same morphological characteristics as those of the parent strain Streptococcus zooepidemicus as set forth in Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology, 8th edition, p498 (1974), except that the strain NH-131 is gram positive and β-hemolytic(-) streptococcus and forms transparent viscous colonies on a sheep blood agar medium.

The Streptococcus zooepidemicus mutants according to the present invention can be cultivated or grown in a culture medium preferably containing carbon sources, inorganic salts, and optional organic trace nutrients. Examples of such carbon sources are organic acids and aliphatic alcohols. According to the present invention, carbon sources containing sugars such as starch hydrolysates, glucose, sucrose, galactose, and fructose can be preferably used. Typical examples of the nitrogen sources are ammonium sulfate, sodium nitrate, ammonium secondary phosphate (i.e., diammonium hydrogenphosphate), meat extract, peptone, mixtures of various amino acids, and yeast extract. In addition to these components, sodium chloride, magnesium, potassium, iron, calcium, and other metal salts of phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and carbonic acid, and vitamins can be optionally added if desired.
The sugars can be added all at once to a culture medium. However, the sugars can be more advantageously added to a culture medium in small portions, to thereby increase the yield of hyaluronic acid.
The cultivation according to the present invention can be carried out preferably under aerobic conditions by, for example, a shaking culture or an aeration spinner culture at a temperature of, for example, 30° C. to 37° C. When the cultivation is carried out by adjusting the pH of the medium to 5.5 to 9.0 with an aqueous alkaline solution, the desired hyaluronic acid can be stably produced in a large amount. Examples of the aqueous alkaline solutions are one or more conventional alkaline compounds such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, basic amino acids, and lower amines.
After cultivation, the hyaluronic acid accumulated in the cultivated mixture can be recovered by conventional methods for the separation and purification of polysaccharides. However, acidification of the cultivated mixture prior to the recovery is preferable in that the purity of the hyaluronic acid thus recovered is increased.
For example, the hyaluronic acid can be isolated from the cultivated mixture as follows. The cells and the other insoluble components in the cultivated mixture are first removed by filtration or centrifugal separation. Then, the proteins contained in the resultant filtrate are removed by, for example, trichloroacetic acid or a mixture of chloroform and isoamyl alcohol, an adsorbent such as activated carbon or activated clay, or a protein decomposition enzyme such as pepsin, papain or pronase. The low molecular weight contaminants remaining in the cultivated mixture are removed by ultrafiltration, dialysis, organic solvent addition precipitation methods, a cationic surfactant, or an adsorption method using an ion exchange resin. The desired hyaluronic acid can be recovered from the resultant cultivated mixture by, for example, a freeze drying, spray drying or organic solvent precipitation method.
According to the present invention, the desired streptolysin-free hyaluronic acid can be produced at a high yield. Accordingly, the hyaluronic acid produced according to the present invention can be advantageously incorporated into medical compositions for external use and cosmetic compositions which are applied to the skin.
The present invention will now be further illustrated by, but is by no means limited to, the following Examples, wherein "percents" are all by weight unless otherwise specified.
The cells of Streptococcus zooepidemicus isolated from the tunica conjunctiva bulbi of guinea pigs were cultivated at a temperature of 37° C. in a brain heart infusion medium (available from Eiken Kagaku Co., Japan). The cells during the logarithmic growth phase were collected and the centrifugal separation was repeated at a low temperature, and the separated cells were sterilized by washing twice with a 1/20 M phosphate buffer solution. The cells, thus obtained were shaken at a temperature of 37° C. for 20 minutes in 1/20 M phosphate buffer solutions containing 100 to 500 μg/ml and were then cooled on ice. The cells were washed twice with 1/20 M phosphate buffer at a low temperature and were then inoculated into a brain heart infusion medium. The cultivation was carried out at a temperature of 37° C. for 24 hours. Thus, a mutant was obtained which did not exhibit hemolytic properties and which formed viscous colonies when spread on a blood agar medium (available from Eiken Kagaku Co., Japan). This mutant, Streptococcus zooepidemicus NH-131 has been deposited in the Fermentation Research Institute (Japan).
The Streptococcus zooepidemicus NH-131 (i.e., FERM BP-784) was subjected to shake culture in a test tube containing a brain heart infusion culture medium. When equinus blood was added to the resultant cultivated mixture and was allowed to stand at a temperature of 37° C. for 2 hours, the erythroyte precipitated at the bottom of the test tube and the supernate exhibited the color of the culture medium itself. Thus, it was confirmed that this mutant had no hemolytic properties.
A culture medium composed of 6% of glucose, 0.5% yeast extract (available from Oriental Yeast Co., Japan), 1.0% of polypeptone (available from Daigo Eiyo Kagaku Co. Japan), and 0.005% of Adekanol LG-805 (i.e., polyether type antifoamant available from Asahi Denka Kogyo Co. Japan) was used. 10 liters of the culture medium except for the glucose was charged into a 30 liter jar fermenter. After sterilization at a temperature of 121° C. for 20 minutes, the Streptococcus zooepidemicus NH-131 previously cultivated was inoculated into the culture medium. The aeration spinner culture was carried out at a temperature of 35° C. for 2 days while controlling the pH of the medium to 7.0 with sodium hydroxide.
The glucose was sterilized separately to the culture medium and a 0.2% portion of the 6% glucose was added to the jar fermenter at the start of the cultivation and the remaining 5.8% start was added around the beginning of the logarithmic growth (i.e., 5 to 7 hours after the start of the cultivation). The cultivation progress conditions were as shown in FIG. 1 in which the changes in the production amount (g/l) of the hyaluronic acid (x-x), the glucose amount (%) (- ), and the cell growth OD660) (o-o) with the elapse of the cultivation time are graphically illustrated.
The determination of these changes was carried out as follows:
(1) The production amount of hyaluronic acid was determined by weighing the purified hyaluronic acid isolated from a sample.
(2) The glucose amount was determined by a YSI model 27 sugar analyzer (manufactured by Yellow Springs Instrument Co., U.S.A.).
(3) The cell growth was determined by measuring the absorbance of a sample at 660 nm in a spectrophotometer.
The production amount of the desired pyaluronic acid was increased with the elapse of time, and the viscosity of the cultivation mixture was increased. Thus, the cultivation was stopped when the viscosity of the cultivation mixture became almost maximum (after one or two days from the start of the cultivation).
The cultivation mixture was centrifugally treated to separate and remove the insoluble components from the mixture. The protein components present in the resultant mixture were removed by a mixture of chloroform and isoamyl alcohol (5:1) and the low molecular weight substances contained in the resultant mixture were then removed by ultrafiltration. Finally, 3.6 g of the desired hyaluronic acid was recovered from 1 liter of the cultivated liquid by a freeze-drying method.
The hyaluronic acid product thus obtained in the form of white fiber was soluble in water but insoluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, acetone, chloroform, and ether, and had no taste and no odor. The product was confirmed as hyaluronic acid by an infrared absorption spectrum, and electrophoresis, and a decomposition test by fungus hyaluronidase. The infrared absorption spectrum of the resultant hyaluronic acid was as shown in FIG. 2.

Cambridge, MA, United States, 1999 - 2002
PROGRAM: 350 bed dormitory including a dining hall, auditorium, and other shared facilities
CLIENT: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
SIZE: 195,000 sf
STATUS: completed
The undergraduate residence is envisioned with the concept of "porosity." It is a vertical slice of city, 10 stories tall and 382' long, providing a 125 seat theater, a night café, and street level dining. The "sponge" concept transforms the building via a series of programmatic and bio-technical functions. The building has five large openings corresponding to main entrances, view corridors, and outdoor activity terraces. Large, dynamic openings are the lungs, bringing natural light down and moving air up. Each of the dormitory's single rooms has nine operable windows. An 18" wall depth shades out the summer sun while allowing the low angled winter sun to help heat the building. At night, light from these windows is rhythmic and magical.
'With its cast-concrete exoskeleton clad in sanded aluminum, the chameleonlike building changes appearance according to light conditions. Holes in the entry canopy play against the grid's regular rhythm, providing a whimsical rendition of the porosity theme'.
-Sarah Amelar, Architectural Record, May, 2003
'The strands of Holl's architecture reduce to no single, unifying thread, yet, in its own way, each strand is consistent in its intentions, as in his non-ideological vision of architecture "subject to circumstance" and his tendency to develop mythical or metaphorical reference, tied to the building's purpose or setting, as it is actually being built'.
-Abitare 427, April, 2003
'If student life is in fact a rehearsal for the future life of civil society, this project can be said to revolutionize everyday life in the university, releasing the ordinary street into a world of experiment and play as an alternative to political apathy and personal isolation. All of 140 meters long and ten stories tall, Simmons Hall is a slice of a city that echoes Holl's own earlier preoccupation with the edge of the city. The relatively wide corridors connecting the rooms turn the hallway into a street-like environment that benefits from the porous morphology in providing unexpected openings, lounges and common halls. These collective spaces are intended to bring students together, to provoke interaction and dialogue'.
-Safran Yehuda, Domus 858, April, 2003
'An interplay of opposites has been characteristic of Steven Holl's architecture since his emergence on the New York design scene now a quarter of a century ago. Balancing or intermingling solid and void, opaque and transparent, the rational and the intuitive, Holl has aimed to build buildings with memorable plastic sensibility. For Simmons Hall, the new undergraduate dormitory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Holl infects a perforated, monolithic box with contained spaces that curve and unfold towards natural light'.

Arlington, VA – The National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies (NACCRRA) announced today that Executive Director Linda K. Smith will be leaving the association in December to join the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as the Deputy Assistant Secretary and Inter-departmental Liaison for Early Childhood Education at the Administration for Children and Families.
As a search is conducted for Smith's replacement, Deputy Executive Director Ollie M. Smith will serve as the Interim Executive Director.
Smith, who has served as NACCRRA's Executive Director since 2003, has led the organization through significant growth and transformation. She has been the driving force behind NACCRRA's national policy agenda and strategic plan, which share the common goal of improving the quality of child care and supporting Child Care Resource and Referral agencies nationwide. Strengthening child care licensing and oversight, requiring comprehensive background checks and establishing minimum training requirements for all child care workers have been key components of NACCRRA's advocacy efforts.
Prior to joining NACCRRA, Smith served as a legislative fellow and professional staffer on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee under the Chairmanship of the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy. Previously, she was the Director of the Office of Family Policy for the Secretary of Defense, where she was one of the primary architects of the military's child care program. Prior to her work with the Secretary of Defense she held positions with both the United States Army and United States Air Force.
Smith began her career in early childhood education on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in her native Montana. She is a graduate of the University of Montana.

The 23-year-old Slovenian midfielder, who was born in Germany and began his career at Bayer Leverkusen, is regarded as one of the brightest stars in European football.
Kampl has impressed for the Austrian club this season having bagged an impressive 10 goals in 27 appearances from midfield.
And although he admits he would eventually like to return to the Bundesliga one day, his dream is to play under Arsene Wenger at Emirates Stadium.
"England has its own charm and London is a unique place," Kampl told Slovenian daily sports newspaper Ekipa.
"There's also Arsenal, the club that I like very much because of their style of football.
"Sometimes when I watch their games, I close my eyes and dream of how it would be if I was there playing for them.
"This certainly is a dream and I hope that one day it will come true for me which is why I'm always giving my all during training sessions."

When it comes to fashion, there's a pretty standard, industry-wide idea of what is beautiful. In fact, many would consider the supermodels who walk the runways and are used to create mannequins to be "perfect." The question is, what happens when you change the physical appearance of the model?
The people at Pro Infirmis decided to put this question to the test by inviting people with physical disabilities to model for mannequins that will grace the storefront window of Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich.
Taking people with scoliosis, amputations and other physical disabilities, Pro Infirmis was able to transform them into mannequins, and the results are incredible. When draped in high-end fashion in the storefront window, the physical differences between them and the "perfect" models become virtually invisible.
When you see someone who is physically different, remember that that person isn't his or her disability; that person is someone who happens to live with that disability. This campaign, in support of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, provokes thought with its tagline:
"Because who is perfect? Get closer."

If you can't wait to get your hands on a Samsung Galaxy S4 then why not try transforming your device into one? Well, it wouldn't be an actual Galaxy S4, but you would at least have some of the bits that make up the device's personality. A system dump has leaked bringing us a collection of ringtones, wallpapers, and even the updated S Voice application.
That last bit should be interesting, all things considered — I think most people are of the opinion that Google Now satisfies folks' digital assistant needs more effectively these days. Nothing's fundamentally different about the whole ordeal so if you haven't gotten enough of that on your Galaxy S3 and Note 2, or if you're just curious to see what Samsung's assistant is capable of, you can give that a try.
The S Voice APK can be had here, the pack of ringtones here, and the wallpapers here. Download them, transfer them over to storage and have a little fun while we await the real thing.

He had a spectacular debut for the Crusader baseball team, winning each of his first three games as a pitcher while also going 10-for-12 at the plate. His baseball career was cut short by a near fatal accident - he was struck on the left ear by a pitch in a game against the University of New Hampshire. After this he devoted himself completely to the track program. He was a shot-putter and quartermiler. He was the New England Champion in both events and ran the anchor leg on the mile relay team (indoor and outdoor) for 3 years. After graduation he earned his law degree and pursued a career in law and business.

Wrestling Notebook: Santa Paula girls program proves dominant
Santa Paula High wrestling coach Robert Hastie has experienced plenty of success with his boys program, which is closing in on its seventh straight Tri-Valley League title.
But this year Hastie is hopeful of doubling his pleasure by seeing his girls team claim a title.
The Santa Paula girls are undefeated at 10-0 with wins over perennial champions West Covina and Pacifica.
"The girls are looking extremely tough," Hastie said. "We have a lot of veteran girls that are wrestling very well and have a goal in site (the) CIF."
Sam Vasquez (98 pounds), Maria Ramirez (118), Elizabeth Fernandez (122), Marissa Porcallo (126), Staphany Arriola (132, Jessie Prado (138) and Jennifer Juarez (189) have had strong performances in the four tournaments this season.
"They should do well come CIF," Hastie said. "The other girls are learning more and more every time they step on the mat. We've had the girls numbers go from 18 to 27 the past four years. I've always had combined practices, but the last two years we have too many wrestlers and not enough space. So we had to separate the practices for the guys and the girls."
Hastie says finding time for both teams' practice and meets can be challenging. He feels fortunate to have coach Mark Lopez, who has taken more control of the girls program.
"I'm not complaining, it's a good thing (problem) to have," Hastie said. "But it's worn me down. I need the school to recognize that this (girls) program can stand on its own now, and deserves it.
"Coach Mark Lopez has done a great job with the girls. I believe that this program has proven itself and earned a stipend for a varsity coach to run the team no different than the boys. It's been a great season so far, I hope we close it with a bang."
Hastie's boys team continue to roll along. Hastie is confident the team can continue its league streak.
"We've got some injuries, but the guys are healing and starting to pick it up the pace at practice," Hastie said. "My strongest wrestler this year has been Scott Black (138 pounds). His work ethic is great.
"Emililo Diego, at 113 pounds, is another veteran wrestler that has good technique and has finished high in all the tournaments. He'll be dropping down to 106 to try and place at CIF."
Others who have performed well are Robert Castillo (120), Ivan Abarca (160), Andy Vasquez (170) and Alejandro Banuelos (182).
Hastie said he is hoping at least three wrestlers will reach the Masters Meet.
Their goal of and undefeated league season and an undisputed Pacific View League title are in sight, but coaches and wrestlers at Channel Islands are not taking anything for granted.
After last week's key victory over Rio Mesa, the Raiders put themselves in the driver's seat for the league title.
They faced the same scenario a year ago but lost to Pacifica and had to share the title with the Tritons.
"All of us who were here last year don't want to let the same thing happen this year," said sophomore Oscar Chavez, the team's 106-pound standout.
Coach Richard Sierra has preached moving forward to his team.
"We can't stop, because when you do that, you lose momentum, and we don't want that to happen," Sierra said.
After claiming its first victory over crosstown rival Ventura in 25 years, it might have been natural for Buena to have a letdown in its next match.
But the Bulldogs knew if they didn't focus on Dos Pueblos, much of the momentum generated by the win over Ventura would have been lost.
With seniors Steven Mendez (138), Grant Marquez (182) and Nick Justiniano leading the way, Buena dominated Dos Pueblos 54-13 on Tuesday, putting them one step closer to the Channel League title.

How do I put tv on my second computer screen
I recently bought the Elgato Eyetv 250 and have a new Intel iMac and was wondering if I had a second LCD monitor how would I watch tv full screen on the second screen so I can use the computer with the tv on the second screen or would that be possible
I don't know what a Elgato Eyetv 250 is, but I am guessing it is a TV turner.
Just take the open program and drag it over to your other screen that maximize it, should work fine.
Just tried it out with my Plextor (Basically an EyeTV 250 without the Gaming mode and 100 bucks cheaper).
You will need to download Dr. Bott's Screen Spanning hack since the iMac doesn't natively support spanning. Other then that it works very easily
Doesn't downloading dr. bott's screen spanning hack void the warranty?
No. And I never installed it since a reinstall and I can screen span. >=O
Thanks very much for your response it was helpful! ill try it if i get a second screen i am now exploring my options first
is this the plextor you were talking about? if not then please direct me to it http://www.plextor.com/english/products/TV402UMac.htm cause its like $50+ more than I paid for my Eyetv
I bought the Windows version from a 3rd party for 150 since I already had the EyeTV software

Many pros of multivitamins outweigh cons
Every week a new article comes out either recommending or condemning the use of multivitamins. The conflicting information can make it difficult for patients and clinicians alike to make an informed decision on multivitamin use.
A multivitamin is a dietary supplement that contains three or more vitamins and/or minerals. Approximately 30 percent of the U.S. population uses dietary supplements, most of which are multivitamins.
Multivitamins are considered to be very safe. Keep in mind, however, that vitamins can interact with certain medications, either enhancing or diminishing their effect. If you take medications, it is a good idea to contact your prescribing doctor before choosing to take any supplements, including a multivitamin.
Research on multivitamin use has shown that it has several therapeutic benefits. Studies have revealed that vitamins can reduce bad cholesterol, decrease blood pressure, and ease anxiety and stress. It can also reduce the risk of heart attack and, in some cases, prevent certain types of cancer.
It is important to understand that the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) printed on the back of a multivitamin bottle is the dosage amount required to prevent disease. This is nowhere near the amount of the vitamin you should take for optimum, therapeutic benefit. If you are considering taking supplements for a specific condition, it is a good idea to talk with a knowledgeable professional first. Naturopathic doctors, chiropractors and some medical doctors are educated in the therapeutic use of vitamins and supplements.
Multivitamins should never take the place of a healthy diet. It is best to obtain vitamins and other micronutrients from food. Unfortunately, most of the foods at the market are highly processed and chemically altered. Even fruits and vegetables have pesticides that can deplete the body's nutrients, making them less healthy. Taking a multivitamin can replace the nutrition lost.
So, should you be taking a multivitamin? I say yes. The pros outweigh the cons, and at such a low cost (usually less than a dollar a day), it's good insurance.
If you would like more information, feel free to call 304-757-7246 or stop by the office. Consultations are always free. You can also email me at email@example.com

Brissago Islands
A visit to the botanical gardens on the Islands of Brissago is a must for anyone staying in the region. The gardens bring together a great variety of exotic, subtropical plants, cultivated in the open air and laid out according to their geographical origins.
The history of these two islands is lost in the mists of time: on the"Isola Piccola" roman remains have been found; there are ruins of a church dating back to 1250, on the walls of which roman-style frescoes are still visible. In 1885 Baroness Antonietta Saint Leger transformed the island into her residence, where painters, sculptors, musicians and writers gathered. The "Isola Grande" became an exotic garden and the Baroness catalogued the plants cultivated on it in her diary, which was then published in London in 1913 ("The Vegetation of the Island of St.Leger in Lago Maggiore"). She lost then all her properties and in 1927 she sold the islands to a rich business man from Hamburg. Max Emden had the palace, harbour and "Roman bath" built as they can still be seen today, and also had the flowerbeds redone.
In 1949 the Islands of Brissago were purchased by the Canton of Ticino, the villages of Ascona, Brissago and Ronco s/Ascona, the Swiss Association for the Protection of Nature and the Society for the Conservation of Artistic and Natural Beauty.
The islands became botanical gardens of the Canton of Ticino.
The Isola Grande is open to the public from 22.03 until 25.10.2015, for more informations please click here.

The 90 degree steamy days seem to be over, and fall is slowing working its way to our region. It won't be very long before the winds of winter blow, the temperature will be below zero and we will have something new to complain about. Too hot, too cold; it doesn't matter. Someone will complain. It's human nature to complain about nature's way.
I look forward to winter. It's a time to slow down and enjoy a stack of good books and enjoy the warmth of a wood stove burning and churning out BTU's to heat the house. Reading during the summer when there's work to do, is something I just can't do. There's always something to do, like cutting, hauling and stacking firewood during the long summer days.
It may be warm today, but you really need to be thinking about getting a load or two of fire wood delivered to your door for tomorrow.
Yes, wood is locally produced, organic, renewable and sustainable heat that is in tune with nature. There is nothing like walking into the house after a cold day out in the woods. The hot dry air warms like no other heat.
Fire wood from local trees is a renewable resource fuel that when burned, releases carbon monoxide. However, when a tree is cut, new growth starts from the area where the old tree stood and shaded the ground. Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon is then taken back out of the atmosphere, and utilized by the growing trees. There is a natural balance between what is released and what is stored if a woodlot stays a woodlot.

WASHINGTON – After playing just 14:39 in the Capitals loss to the Lightning on Friday because of an undisclosed injury, Washington defenseman John Carlson missed Saturday's optional practice.
He joins Mike Green as one of two offensive defensemen for the Capitals, and the team felt his absence in a big way while trying to come back in the third period against the Lightning. Washington coach Bruce Boudreau wouldn't say for an absolute certainty that Carlson would be ready to go for Game 2, but he sounded really optimistic.
"Pretty good chance that he'll play tomorrow," Boudreau said.
The news wasn't so promising for a few other banged up Capitals. Forward Mike Knuble and defensemen Tom Poti and Dennis Wideman all practiced with the Capitals on Saturday but are likely out for Sunday's game.
Boudreau believes Knuble will be available before the end of the series and ruled out both Poti and Wideman for Sunday.
Poti (groin) hasn't played since January 12 and said there's still no timeline for his return.
"Not really, no," he told Sporting News. "It's just day to day, and I'm trying to prepare the best I can."

The house we rented was great! It had all the amenities we needed to make our stay, a home away from home. It was very clean and beautiful. The office staff was always very friendly and very helpful. I would definitely recommend Eagle Management to friends and family as well as use their services again. Thank you so much Eagle Management for such a wonderful vacation. Judy

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The home was nice and spacious. We had two minor problems a running toilet and a small problem with dryer. I must say the management company was very quick in responding to any problems we had. Oh I would recommend renting the heat for the pool and the spa tub was excellent and relaxing

Overall the experience at this home was great. It accommodated everyone in our group very nicely. I only wish they had better pots and pans and a "pot holder". They pans were a little outdated. And I know you can not really adjust the air conditioning, but the house was very hot! I wish it could have been slightly cooler. The jacuzzi didn't work and neither did the lights by the pool. I know this reveiw sounds bad, but those were just minor mishaps. The overall home is great and we thank Eagle Managment for making it such an easy experience!!
Manager Responded on 09/20/2012
Thanks for the comments, the pool light and spa will be attended to. We will get new pots and pans for the home. thanks

This house was so beautiful! It was much better than what i expected! The rooms are nice and big, really comfortable beds, a nice kitchen and the pool and jacuzzi are the best part! pool heat was nice and warm, and it had a good temperature. This house was close to all disney parks, and is around many shops and stores. This home is so beautiful my family and i didn't want to leave! It definitely is a great place to relax and have a good time! I would definitely recommend this home to any tourist!

I was concerned with the amount I paid for this location since a lot of the other places were charging more but my family and I were on a budget for our Disney Trip and we could only afford a certain amount for the home. When we arrived at the home, we were surprisingly refreshed and happy that we made the decision to stay there! The home was clean, spaciously, and prepared to handle our large family! The home is roughly 15 minutes away from Disney World and it was not difficult to find the park. Also, the home is conveniently located near shopping outlets and restaurant. We enjoyed the home so much that we are planning on making another trip and reserve this home just so we know we are getting a good deal!
Manager Responded on 10/27/2010
Thanks for the great review and I am glad the home was better than you expected, we will be waiting for your next reservation. Thanks
beautiful home

Beautiful home, great value for the money. Would reccomend to anyone that wants a beautiful vacation home without breaking the bank. Only issue we had was the leg on the coffee table was broken and a burn mark on the carpet in one of the bedrooms.

thanks for letting us know on the coffeetable and carpet, we will rectify. we hope to see you back soon.

Vintage Rogers Snare Drum – Rare Mardi Gras Wrap 1960's
NO RESERVE AUCTION! NO RESERVE AUCTION! This early 1960's Rogers 5X14 inch snare drum retains its original Mardi Gras wrap. The condition of this rare wrap is in excellent, unfaded and in undamaged condition. The chrome rims, strainer and butt plate are also in excellent original condition with superb chrome plating. The chrome bread and butter lugs are the new JP2 Creations replacements (firstname.lastname@example.com). It is rare that you find a vintage Rogers snare drum with undamaged B&B lugs. JP2 Creations lugs are considered the industry standard for B&B lug replacements. These lugs are heavily chrome plated and much stronger than the original Rogers lugs. Minus the lugs this drum is all original. The interior is unusual in the fact that there is no label and is not painted gray but is natural maple with maple reinforcement rings. The wooden Dynasonic snare drums of the period were also made in this manner with natural maple interior. I had planned to put new heads on the drum but it sounded so good that I kept the early (possibly original) Rogers heads. It also appears to have its original Rogers marked snare wires. This is a great Rogers snare drum worthy of any collection! Please do not bid unless you are willing to buy! DO NOT BID if you have fewer than 10 positive eBay feedbacks. You must contact me first! U.S. buyer pays $20.00 shipping & insurance within lower 48 states. Pay Pal only - Cash is good if pickup or delivery is a workable option. * WE SHIP INTERNATIONAL * Check out other great vintage gear that I now have for sale on Ebay at NO RESERVE!

Antelope Archery
I started my hunt at sunrise and spotted this buck with a doe grazing about 140 yds. My stalk was set up perfect, there was a breeze in my face and the sun was in his eyes. I walked, bear walked, and belly-crawled from cactus to cactus for about 45 minutes. I positioned myself behind a good sized cactus and watched the buck graze while the doe laid down warming up in the sun. I range found him at 42 yards facing me, so I waited and waited for him to give me a broadside shot. Finally I decided it was time; I knocked an arrow and drew back my Mathews Reezen and put the 40 yd sight pin in the middle of his chest, and let it fly! The arrow hit him square and he ran 10 yds and was dead when he hit the ground. this is my first kill with my Reezen and i have decided that this is the best, and last bow I will ever buy. I want to thank the folks at Mathews for making the best bows on earth to hunt with, and I hope to send you many more pictures and carve many more notches on my handle!!!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by eleanne What are you waiting for?! Cannot believe an item like this on sale was available in my size and STILL is!! So in love with this boot....My husband had misgivings about them at first....even the sale price was hard for him to swallow.....but after wearing them to a recent event and receiving upwards of a dozen compliments on them (yes, I counted!) he finally consented to their value :) Please bring back the grey! 6.12.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rose4fitplan AWESOME!!!!! Just recieved my pair of Joe lace up boot in Mustard brown and tried them on and I LOVE THEM! They look exactly like the photo especially the color. The leather is soft and the look of vintage which is what I had hope for. Beyond beautiful! I'm 5'5 / 112 LB and the top of the boot fall the same as the model. I guess I must have long legs for my height :) . I love the fact that the boot fit perfectly from toe to top giving a slim look unlike most boots. I usually wear a size 6.5 or 7 but I chose to order a size 6 and they fit me perfectly! The boot are sooooooo comfortable and the best thing about this style is that it blends all seasons. These boots will never go out of style! Oh and the shipping was free to Hawaii! I was also impressed how very fast it arrived. BIG THANKS to FreePeople and A HUGE THANKS once agin to Jeffery Campbell for making such unique shoes. 6.4.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by samishoes1 Sexy and Rugged The look and feel of the leather are awesome! Soft to the touch but sturdy... Victorian Western a look that will last:) Pair them with skinny jeans, tights, skirts, shorts, dresses, you name it! I normally wear a 9.5 and got them in a size 9 and they fit perfect w/socks...I have long legs and the height comes to my knees, just like the model... I so recommend these! 5.10.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ChrisMarie LOVE. I have been eyeing these boots for quite some time and once they went on sale there was no hesitation at all! I had to buy them and they are worth every penny! they are GORGEOUS!! i love love love them. I would highly recommend them. I hope the other colors come back in stock! <3333 (the gray teal ones!) 5.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by AliciaDelaware My SECOND Pair! I bought these previously in black and tan and I fell in love! The fit is perfect, the length fits me right at the mid knee-cap (just as the model) being as though i'm 5'8, and the color is always true. I cannot get over how perfect these boots are! I was going to buy all the colors but they were so expensive. Saw these on sale and BOOM, into my cart and straight to my house. The only downfall to these boots are the amount of compliments you get and looks (though many will love that aspect) and they do hurt your toes after hours of walking so don't wear them all day around the city! LOVE THESE BOOTS. MUST GET THEM!! 4.24.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ivullik11 runs large Gorgeous, very comfortable, beautiful. I wear 7,5 or 8, ordered size 7, fits well. 4.18.2013

I just found out today that my daughter is pregnant. I don't know how to knit baby things, don't they just knit themselves? aren't there little knitting elves or something? I will try laying out needles and yarn tonight to see what happens.
She's due June 14th. Am I completely evil to laugh like mad and tell her happy birthday? (her birthday is June 12th) Torturing my children is the only thing I have to look forward to now that they are almost all grown and out of the house.
I am going to try Elizabeth Zimmerman's Baby Surprise Jacket for a co-worker who will be having a baby in the next couple of months. Looks like a really fun pattern and interesting pattern.
I hope that you will be able to enjoy this new baby.
I can relate to the futility of knitting for messy little kids even though I love kids too. My partner and I raised 5. Sometime around the time child nunber 3 came into our lives we thought it would be really time (and smell) saving if we just put them in 30 gallon trash bags tied at the neck. We could simply leave the bag on until they were 5 when we sent them off to school. This way somebody else could deal with it! LOL
Congratualtions on your grandchild...BTW do not take up our idea we found the Department of Child Welfare frowned on the plan.
Thanks! yes they also frown on the idea of hanging them upside down in the closet, chaining them to ANYTHING and putting thier food into a dog dish so you don't have to fix something as often.
I like being a grandma, I can send spoiling gifts and if she complains too much, I either hang up the phone or log off the computer. :p
MWK's Token Estrogen-American
Congratulations! I just recently found out I'm going to be a great grandfather, I'm much too young for that and they are much too young to be having a baby but what can you do. I have been working on a Elizabeth Zimmerman baby sweater which is going quite well.
congrats to you too! I'm way to young to have 2 grandchildren myself, the other is 8 now O.o I have no idea what to knit, I didn't knit when the first was born so I made him a quilt, she wants it to be a surprise so I don't know if it's going to be a boy or a girl. I dont' even have baby type yarns, because I hate pastels. I guess I have to buy yarn O.o
MWK's Token Estrogen-American
Be a MODERN grandmother and make something for the kid in bright crayon or jewel tones. Pastels are passe. And avoid blue OR pink.
MMario - I'm not divorced from reality - we're having a trial separation
Puh, but I want to do something in black, and paint it's little nails black, maybe I could knit it up a black cloak with skulls.
*sigh* I dont' wanna grow up
MWK's Token Estrogen-American
son of stitch and bitch has some skull and crossbones patterns. also, just came back from france and everything is knit, including some very chic expensive designed women's tops with...skull and crossbones patterns in them
Visit Crafty Andy's Blog Congratulations! You should try the Five hour Baby Sweater Pattern and see how it comes out!
oh I'll have to find that pattern! I'm kind of a goth/techno kinda girl, so I was thinking something in black with splashes of color thrown in, she's forbidden it, guess I'm going with either bright colors or pastels :(
MWK's Token Estrogen-American
congrats. for my taste, since they're so messy and unpredictable, i think kids should be kept in washable plastic outfits until they can get the eating thing and pooping thing down. why waste good knitting on baby spew? i am kidding. i love children. really. but they're not my most realiable employees
they can be reliable, if you pay them in food, I have found that sitting down to a nice hot meal while they look on works wonders!
