You have to stare very closely at the pictures to notice this is the new Mercedes-Benz B-Class, updated and revised to keep up with the newer BMW 2 Series Active Tourer. But trust us – it is new.
You can't really blame the German giant for not letting its designers get creative with their pens and pencils as the B-Class has been a great success for the company. Since it arrived in 2011 the B-Class has clocked up more than 350,000 sales worldwide – over 25,000 of those have been in the UK too. Roughly 8,000 are sold in Britain a year and 40 per cent go to the fleet market. Mercedes didn't want to rock the boat too much with this mid-life refresh.
It receives a redesigned bumper at the front with larger air intakes either side of the wider grille – a fashionable trick to give a car more visual presence – and, if specified, new LED headlights. To the rear there's another new bumper and a pair of LED taillights.
The B-Class scores highly in the space race too. The boot space measures 486 litres with the seats up (18-litres more than the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer) and when the seats are folded, total boot space jumps to 1,547 litres. The B-Class also has a two-level boot floor - so buyers can choose between a spacious boot or one that is easier to get things out of - and a sliding 60:40 rear bench seat aiding interior space.
Inside, it's much the same so there's a well-built cabin full of nice design details and plenty of space. However, those who don't like the look of Mercedes' iPad-like multimedia screen perched on the dash look away now, it's now grown to eight-inches corner to corner. Also new are a number of trim finishes and textures (including a dubious carbon-look weave), while dials in the instrument binnacle and the interior are now available in 12 colours thanks to a new ambient lighting system.
The engine line-up is the same as before, though, so there's a pair of petrols – both 1.6-litres in size and available with 120bhp and 154bhp – badged B 180 and B 200. Four diesels are offered: the most efficient of which is the B 180 ECO with a 108bhp 1.5-litre diesel that delivers 78.5mpg and emits 94g/km of CO2.
There's also a 2.1-litre diesel available in 134bhp, 167bhp and 175bhp outputs – the latter of which can come with 4MATIC all-wheel-drive. Next year there will also be a full-electric B-Class promising a range of around 115 miles.
We got behind the wheel of the B 220 CDI 4MATIC in Sport trim and while the 2.1-litre engine is a bit clattery under revs, inside is a quiet and refined place to be. Our car rode on the standard comfort suspension setting – standard on SE and Sport models – which is a must for this type of car.
The top-of-the-range AMG Line has lowered suspension along with the sporty styling, but it's in direct contrast to the driving experience which is always errs towards relaxation rather than thrills. So there's afair degree of body roll and the steering has little feel, although it is precise – but this is no bad thing, it is an MPV after all.
Speaking of trims, the SE kicks off the range at £21,445 and has 16-inch wheels, 'Artico' fake leather interior, iPhone connectivity, a reversing camera and a seven-inch colour display in between the rev and speed counters. Sport comes in at £595 more and adds larger 17-inch wheels and ambient lighting while AMG Sport (a further £1,295) features sportier AMG body styling.
Mercedes you are having a laugh I presume over £28.000 for this Ha Ha Ha A fast bread van that,s all it is What has happen to class Mercedes, it seems to have passed you bye
I find it very peculiar that the British press were saying at last the 4Matic will be available on the C class in the UK market, and now that it is available on the B class, you are all over it. It is a luxurious mini van with 4 wheel frive for inclement weather.If I remember correctly this would have been useful last year when the white stuff came down. You may have a point with the GLA but if it is based on the A-class then room will be at a premium, leaving an opening for this model. This review seems to be very one sided without taking into account its mission and target market.

I'm still doing a lot of experimenting with my Canon 10D, trying to make digital pictures that don't look like digital pictures.
Here's the same sunflower as in the digital pinhole shot I did, only now, experimenting with output on an Epson and what you can do with a little water and white acrylic paint. I guess this is really mixed media.
Audrey is moving back to Seattle, again. She called us this week to tell us her car broke down halfway, so she is passing the time with the kind brothers and sisters in Arcata before she continues her journey north. I'm a little jealous. I wish her lots of luck finding a house, a job, and a more sane existence than the last time she lived up there, with Johnny.
I've wanted to photograph Audrey since fifteen seconds after I met her behind Elsie's. She was Johan's new housemate, this crazy, skinny, frenetic girl, smoking cigarettes and taunting all the boys who were completely in love with her. I never got around to it, turns out she's sort of self-deprecating and shy behind the loudmouth, badass exterior. She's also completely beautiful even when she's trying to avoid the camera.
I love my Canon 10d. Someday when they make cheap 20 megapixel cameras I will hate it, but for now, it is all I'm shooting with.
I only have 1 lens for my camera, a cheap Sigma zoom lens, but yesterday I made another one with a generic $2 camera body cap, a few pieces of gaffer tape, and a brass shim with a hole poked in it. Well, I guess it's not a real lens, but it has increased my camera's repertoire a bit. I spent all afternoon taking digital pinhole camera photographs.
The wonderful thing about pinhole optics is that there is no focal plane or depth of field. No matter how close or how far away an object is, it is always equally in focus - there's no "falloff" of focus, as there is with glass lenses. Since the hole I used was relatively big (the diameter of a sewing needle), and sharpness is related to the size of the pinhole, the images my camera takes are all in focus, yet nothing is sharp.
The pinhole is big enough that on a sunny day (or if I let my eyes adjust) I can actually see through the pinhole lens so I can tell what I'm taking a picture of. All my film-based pinhole cameras rely on luck and Polaroid film to know what you're taking a picture of. The long exposure and small amount of light coming through make for an interesting film-grainy texture and desaturated colors. It really looks more like film than film does sometimes.
See if you can guess what this is without looking at the filename.
As part of a clever little blogmeme, the lovely Miss Meriko sent me a series of interview questions. I'm trying my darndest to avoid working on this packaging project for my graphics class, so what better reason to answer her queries?
What's your favorite molecule, and why?
I haven't got a favorite molecule in particular, but my favorite type of molecules are chiral molecules, also called enantiomers or "mirror molecules". Enantiomers are chemically identical, all the same atoms stuck together with all the same types of bonds, but since certain chemical bonds happen in such a way that they can be in clockwise or counterclockwise position in relation to each other, these types of molecules exhibit the property of chirality: they are right- or left- handed - mirror images of each other.
Naturally occurring amino acids (proteins), sugars and nucleic acids (DNA) all exist only as right- or left-handed forms. The left-handed form of glucose, for example, is still sweet like natural glucose, but it's undigestible - your body can't metabolize it. Lots of drugs are made with either the left-handed or right-handed isomer of a chiral molecule. If you get a formulation that isn't pure - if it has too much of the wrong isomer - you sometimes end up with negative (or at least undesired) effects like with "bad acid" (It's not speed in your LSD you damn hippie! it's just too much of the wrong enantiomer!) Thalidomide is also a chiral drug - one enantiomer had anti-nausea properties that cured morning sickness, the other caused terrible birth defects. A glitch in the manufacturing process meant too much of the wrong enantiomer, and wham - flipper babies.
Lately, our friends the drug companies are separating out and patenting enantiomers of different drugs: Nexium? Prilosec? Same thing. Same effect. Prilosec is a racemic mixture of R- and S- omeprazole, meaning it's a 50/50 mix of the right- and left-handed forms of the molecule. But the drug's patent expired in 2001, so they just re-released it as Nexium, with only one of the enantiomers, and patented it until 2014, with the same purple-pill packaging. Patients (and inattentive doctors) just go for the new "improved" purple pill, and pay twice as much for what is essentially the same drug. Ka-ching! Score one for AstraZeneca!
Anyway. There are lots of interesting properties of chiral chemicals which I will surely bore you to tears describing any further. I first got interested in them in high school after reading Martin Gardner's Annotated Alice books containing his deconstructions of the mathematical and scientific logic in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I was fascinated by the idea of mirror-image chemicals, ones that do one thing in our "natural" world, but have "looking glass" artificial counterparts that do something totally different. The book is an incredibly interesting and even an easy read (and he does a much better job of making math and science sound cool than I do). I highly recommend it if you haven't read it yet.
Dr. Johansen geeked out on o-chem a little too much there. Deep breath. Next question.
Tell me about the best meal you've ever had.
Also a hard one. I think it's a multi-way tie between the first time I ate at Vij's in Vancouver after the opening of the first art show I was ever in, ordering all the appetizers at once (goat cheese fondue!) at the
Your pictures seem to capture more of people than the meat on their bones. When you're looking through the lens of a camera at a person, what do you see?
I'm trying to keep their eyes in focus. I always fuck that part up. I think anything else is subconscious - I always get a little surprised when the film comes back.
What's the name of the best movie you have never seen?
2001. I've probably seen it in its entirety, but never in order, and never for longer than 20 minutes at a time. I always fall asleep.
What's your favorite dream?
I'm riding a ferris wheel with a friendly group of three-foot tall sentient Oreo cookies. We are hanging out, enjoying the nice summer evening, having a marvelous time, when the carnie stops the ride and makes the cookie I'm riding with get off the ride. Then he makes it leave because it's not a real Oreo cookie. It's a Hydrox cookie! I've been trying to analyze that one for years and I still can't figure out what it means.
Would you like to be next person in the interview chain? Send me a comment, I send you questions, you blog and the chain goes on...
Today is my birthday. My 27th birthday, to be exact. I was born just after the Bicentennial in 1976, which means that every year my birthday falls on the day after everybody gets back from their 4th of July holiday and goes back to work. It also seems to fall an inordinate number of years on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I'm not sure how that works, but I suspect that Leap Year is trying to screw my party plans.
I was supposed to be born in June, but I missed the Bicentennial by a few days, being that it took me almost a whole extra month to cook. Mom got sick of being pregnant and they induced labor and took me out via caesarean (with a full head of hair, no less). I think it is a metaphor for my whole life. This might also explain why I have been in college for 7 years. I think I would still like to cook a little longer. 27 years does not feel like it has been that long.
My baby book has a 70's style illustration of a chubby-cheeked baby Betsy Ross on it, sewing an adorable little American flag. Everything surrounding my birth has little American flags on it, or stars, or cute baby eagles, or smiling wig-wearing baby patriots holding fifes. There are no cute little American flags or baby eagles anymore. Now they're all stuck to the back of big, menacing All-American pickup trucks, angry cartoon eagles pissing on Osama Bin Laden, or Saddam Hussein, or the French. I hope at least on my 50th birthday, at the Bicenquinquagenary (it's a word! I looked it up!) there will be cute baby eagles again. I miss cute baby eagles and non-threatening, sweet little American flags. The bellbottoms and muttonchop sideburns can stay in the 1970's though. No need for those to come back.
Age 26 did not have much to offer in the way of the good life, so I am hoping that 27 will be better, more glamorous, more exciting! Less filled with Oh Shit! and more filled with No Shit! I'm going to be a Graduate of Art Center! I'm going to start my Whole New Exciting Life! I'm going to be a professional Somethingorother! I'm going to go into student loan repayment! Hm. Better not to think about that part.
For my birthday present to myself, I bought a new shower curtain. To celebrate, tonight I'm going to do my homework that's due tomorrow.
This does not bode well.

This roast will replace that dried-out beef roast leather chip that nightmares are made of. Welcome to the tender, juicy roast of your dreams. The key to trapping all of those flavorful juices into the beef is the quick sear on High heat on your Traeger. DO NOT skip this step. It will make it a perfectly rosy-pink delicious, beef roast just like mama did or should have made. (Don't worry - we won't tell.) And the leftovers make for fabulous french dip sandwiches the next day!
This succulent beef recipe is in our Traeger's Everyday Cookbook.
PREP TIME: 5 minutesCOOK TIME: 2 1/2 to 3 hoursSERVES: 6 to 8RECOMMENDED PELLETS: Hickory, Oak or Pecan
INGREDIENTS 1 beef chuck, rump, or sirloin tip roast, 3 to 3-1/2 pounds 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or extra-virgin olive oil Traeger Beef Shake or Rub or Prime Rib Rub, or salt and coarse black pepper 2 cups beef brothChopped potatoes, carrots, celery and onions (optional)
Rub the roast on all sides with the oil and place on a rack in a roasting pan or dutch oven, fat-side up. Season well with the Traeger Beef Shake.
Pour the beef broth in the bottom of the pan.
When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 450 degrees F (High) and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes. Cook the roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the outside is seared.
Reduce the temperature to 225 degrees F and continue cooking, 2 to 3 hours, or until medium-rare (135 degrees F on an instant-read meat thermometer). Let it reach 155 degrees F if you prefer your meat well-done. If you want to add some vegetables into the mix add the chopped vegetables and a few sprigs of thyme into the broth and cooked, covered with foil, for the last hour of cooking. (You may need to add in 1/2 cup more of beef broth.)
Tent the roast with aluminum foil and let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing across the grain into thin slices.
Serve with the pan drippings, if desired.

Captain Comics: The return of Free Comic Book Day
Free Comic Book Day is back, bigger and better than ever. So big, in fact, that the following guide is necessary.
First, the details: On Saturday, May 3, participating comic shops will give away free comics. (To find a local shop, dial 1-888-COMICBOOK.) It's not a dream, not a hoax, not an imaginary story: The comics are free to anyone who shows up (although some shops may require a purchase or have other rules).
How can they do this? Well, the publishers spend a lot of money on the books, but they can write it off, at least partly, as promotion. Ditto the comic shops, who pay a nominal fee for each book. So, on the commercial end, they're anything but free.
But to you and yours, the books are free. Or as I like to say, FREEEEEE!
And this year, there are 60 of them. Yes, six-oh. They range from comprehensive stories to catalogs, from all ages stories to adults only. With 60 books from 40 publishers, there's bound to be a wild variety. So what do you zero in on first?
That depends on what you want, of course. And you can see a comprehensive list at freecomicbookday.com, or my website, comicsroundtable.com. But if you're looking for a little general guidance, here are some handy categories:
Head straight for the "Archie Comics Digest." The Riverdale gang is timeless fun for kids of all ages, by some of the best creators in the biz. And at a whopping 96 pages, Archie says, "We challenge you to find a Free Comic Book Day offering with more pages than this!"
And while you're at it, pick up DC's cartoon-related "Teen Titans Go!", find the Disney ducks in "Uncle Scrooge: A Matter of Some Gravity!" and check out the Simpsons crew in the "Bongo Comics Free-For-All!" Dark Horse offers an all-ages triple threat in a book titled, appropriately, "Avatar/Itty Bitty Hellboy/Juice Squeezers." Plus you'll find favorites like Hello Kitty, Jellaby, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Scratch 9 (the supercat), Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man, the Smurfs and Spongebob Squarepants in comics with those names right on the cover.
The kids get free comics, but you get some homework. The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, the organization that tries to protect your right to read from censorship, has two books that should be required reading. "Defend Comics" is a light-hearted look at a serious topic, censorship. "Raising a Reader" is a guide to what skills your kids can learn from comics, how to use comics to start dialogs, what resources are available in graphic novels, and other cool parent-y stuff.
What's comics without men and women in Spandex? Let's hope we never find out!
Marvel Comics is looking forward to its next blockbuster movie with two books, "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Rocket Raccoon." The former book guest stars Captain Marvel and a mystery character (it's Venom), who likely won't be in the movie but may join the regular "GotG" title. The latter book stars the cranky outer-space rodent who loves guns and hates to be called "Rocky."
DC Comics doesn't have a big movie coming up, but it does have a big storyline called "Future's End" that it teases with a book of the same name. "Future's End" will be published weekly _ no, that's not a typo _ beginning May 7, and will explore a threat to TV's "Batman Beyond": an army of cyborgs that look a lot like the Justice League! (Cue dramatic piano chord.)
DC isn't the only publisher using FCBD to tease upcoming series. Image Comics offers "Rise of the Magi" #0, about a fellow named Asa who gets caught up on a magical war. "The Magi are awake and they are legion," Image warns, "And only seven magicians, sorcerers, thieves and killers can stop them. But as Asa will soon find out, among thieves, there is no honor." The first issue of the ongoing "Rise of the Magi" arrives in late May.
No. 4 publisher IDW is teasing two different series on FCBD. New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry brings his vampire novels to comics with "V-Wars." And "Transformers vs. G.I. Joe" showcases a new ongoing series combining two of the biggest pop-culture titans of the '80s.
Meanwhile, Dark Horse has been sneaking up on having a line of superhero comics by introducing various heroes, one by one, who seem to have nothing in common. DH tips its hand a little, though, with "Project: Black Sky" on Free Comic Book Day:
"When a biological weapon is hijacked from a secret facility in Nevada, the president calls in two of his top guns: Captain Midnight and Brain Boy!" reads a press release. "Will the two disparate heroes, a time-displaced inventor from World War II and a snotty psychic Secret Service agent, be able to work together to the stop the threat released from Block 13?"
Well, I assume so, but I'll be interested to read the details!
Upstart Valiant Comics is also launching a big summer story with "Valiant: Armor Hunters." This is the first chapter in a story that will engulf several books over the summer, as aliens arrive on Earth to destroy the armor worn by X-O Manowar _ and they're not too picky about collateral damage. To help new readers, the publisher is also helpfully offering a "Valiant Universe Handbook."
Looking for something a little different? How about "The Fall of Fantine"? That's a chapter from the manga version of "Les Miserables"! Or maybe the black humor of "Zombie Tramp" is what you're looking for (and, yes, it's exactly what it sounds like). The upcoming Tom Cruise movie "All You Need Is Kill" came from manga, and Viz Media offers a taste of that story. How about a sample of Shigeru Mizuki's "A History of Japan" for the histor-o-philes? And for fans of "Star Wars," there's a steampunk version from Antarctic Press, called _ naturally _ "Steam Wars."
And, yes, there's still more. But take a look for yourself _ and then take a look around the shop. It doesn't cost anything to look, and learning about the enormous world of comics is an adventure in itself.

Down the throat – the introduction of the 1967 Camaro
Today's been a good day for 1967 Camaro ephemera. First, Koch emailed this scan from his vintage magazine collection exhorting folks to get down to their Chevrolet dealers to check out the all-new Chevrolet pony car.
Next, our friend Mr. Angry over at RideLust uncovered a two-minute spot – presumably for television – introducing the Camaro SS 350. Dunno who did the music on that one, but it sounds like the same guy who did the music for the infamous Kirk v. Spock fight scene.

The legal job market remains challenging, but there are some bright spots. As we reported on Friday, entry-level Biglaw hiring is up by almost 10 percent compared to last year.
Many law school students and graduates view working at a prestigious law firm as a cure-all. And it's true that a starting salary of $160,000 is one of the best ways for law school grads to service six-figure debt loads.
But for some young lawyers, a Biglaw job is far from a panacea. The stress and long hours create new problems — problems that can be hard to solve while holding down a demanding law firm job.
Here is one associate's very sad situation. What would you advise him or her to do?
We recently received this query in the Above the Law mailbag:
I'm an associate at a top-tier firm and a recent grad of T14 law school.
I need to go to rehab for a painkiller addiction. Around the same time I started work at the firm, I went from moderately heavy recreational use on weekends to what has become a 500 mg/day habit snorting pills from when I wake up to when I go to bed (pass out) — including at my desk and in bathrooms at my law firm. To give you a sense of what 500 mg means, when you have surgery for an ACL repair or labrum tear you tend to get 30 pills of Percocet (which is a combo of oxycodone and Tylenol) containing 5 mg of oxycodone each, for a total of 150 mg.
So it's become quite clear that I need to go to rehab. I've tried stopping on my own — I've been able to be clean for a few weeks, but I can't stay clean and I have yet to try rehab, so I have to do it.
My question is what do I tell work. According to my Google searches, going to rehab for substance abuse is a serious medical condition under the Family and Medical Leave Act, and thus technically I couldn't be fired for coming clean about why I need to go away for at least four weeks and maybe more. But what do I tell the partners I work with? I thought about lying to the partners and fellow associates about why I need to go away for a while but being truthful with our human resources department.
I'd be curious to know if any of your readers have done this successfully — going away, getting help, and coming back to their jobs. If I can do a decent job while high out of my mind, I imagine I'll probably be able to do an even better job sober — though maybe being numb is necessary for sanity when doing Biglaw grunt work.
This is a tough situation. My answer might depend upon how this person views their future at the firm.
If this person isn't gunning for partner, but just planning to work at the firm for a few years before moving on, then honesty might be the best policy. Honesty will help in the recovery process, and the professional consequences of coming clean won't be as dire.
If this person is still gunning for partner, that's a tougher situation. Making partner is harder than ever, with even excellent and problem-free associates getting passed over, so admitting to this type of difficulty could seriously impair the person's partnership prospects. (Yes, many Biglaw partners have substance abuse problems too, but they generally keep them under wraps, especially during the associate years.) If this person still aspires to partnership, then perhaps he or she should try to find help through channels short of inpatient rehab, such as therapy (group or individual).
Telling the truth to HR/Recruiting but not to the lawyers seems dicey. Take it from us here at ATL: Biglaw firms are hives of gossip. It's likely that someone will tell; someone always does.
Readers, what advice would you offer to this associate? Have any of you left your firms for rehab, gotten the help you needed, and successfully returned to your Biglaw employment?
P.S. The ABA website helpfully offers a directory of lawyer assistance programs and a collection of national resources for lawyers struggling with different issues. Feel free to mention other resources in the comments to this post. Thanks.

President of India: Don't sign the Criminal Law Amendment Ordinance
After the Delhi bus gang rape incident and incessant protests, the Government of India set up a three-member committee headed by Justice Verma to recommend steps that can be taken to ensure women's safety in India.
The committee submitted a comprehensive report on 23rd January that was welcomed unanimously by women's groups.
However, in a gross injustice to the sentiments of millions of Indians, the government today slyly introduced an ordinance that leaves out key recommendations such as criminalising marital rape, reviewing the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and trying military personnel accused of sexual offences under criminal law, and barring politicians facing such cases from contesting elections.
It must be noted that the committee received 80,000 suggestions from women's organisations, activists and citizens. Showing complete disregard for these suggestions, the government has introduced a so-called "ordinance" which would serve as a mere eyewash.
We wish to put it on record that we reject the ordinance and urge the President to refrain from signing the ordinance.
If this ordinance gets passed, the force of thousands of protesters across the country which was instrumental in bringing out an unapologetic report from the Verma Committee will go waste and it will meet the same fate as the 33% women's reservation bill.

Kelley: Unsung heroes add teeth to crime fighting
While cat videos abound on YouTube and you can't scroll down your Facebook newsfeed without encountering fetching portraits of kittens, dogs are still, paws down, man's best friend.
Now that I'm nearly retired from teaching, I plan to expend the tuition and time to get my 4-year-old, five-pound Yorkie certified as a therapy dog. Marion, Aina and Barbara, three buddies who found themselves in a convalescent home for a time, can already attest that Chloe was not only able to cool their blood pressure but also warm the cockles of their hearts.
You would think that submitting to loving caresses and being told how adorable she looks would satisfy Chloe, but a short time ago, she confessed to me that being a therapy dog is not her actual career goal. In her heart, she yearns to be a K-9 cop.
Only last month, Kane, a 2-year-old German shepherd, rescued a family of seven who were being hounded at the Port Hueneme pier. The perpetrator, who appeared to be extremely intoxicated, was in the process of spewing out F-bombs as he walked by the mother, her infant, her two toddlers, her tween and her two teenagers enjoying an afternoon of fishing.
When the woman politely requested that the man not curse in front of her children, he became enraged and brandished a knife.
When the family tried to escape from him, he actually lunged at the woman, who was cradling her baby, and threatened to get his gun if they endeavored to leave.
Enter Officer Dransart and Kane. After witnessing the 75-pound dog's Elvis Presley snarl and catching a few intimidating barks, the man was arrested without incident.
Kane is the latest addition to an all-shepherd K-9 squad at the Port Hueneme Police Department that includes 3-year-old, 77-pound Rocko, who recently turned up a bank robber; 2½-year-old, 90-pound Gunner, who possesses an exceptional nose for narcotics; 3-year-old, 75-pound Brutus, who may sport a deceptively cute puppy-dog face but, be advised, he is no 'fraidy cat — he hunts down gang members and nasty felony criminals; and 3-year-old, 110-pound Agent (aka "Captain Midnight" because of his coloring), who seized the shoulder of a suspect still behind the wheel of a car as the villain attempted to run down two uniformed Oxnard police officers.
Chief Kathleen Sheehan of the Port Hueneme Police Department finds her highly trained police K-9s to be invaluable to the force.
Six month ago, Eron, a 2-year-old German shepherd, became the newest member of the four-shepherd K-9 unit at the Ventura Police Department. While he was still technically only a puppy, he managed to apprehend an impressive number of suspects, including one involved in a carjacking and another in an assault on a police officer.
Evan, one of Santa Paula Police Department's three shepherds, was being retired or "pawed down" last year. His colleague Zak was demonstrating a confrontation between himself and a criminal being played by the trainer. But the guest of honor couldn't just sit back and watch the fun.
Oh, no. His whining soon morphed into howling. Finally, after he could contain himself no longer, he sprang to his feet and struggled to enter the fray. Only a chew toy finally settled him down. Can any of you retirees out there relate?
Oxnard's four shepherds are largely involved with drug detection and conducted 475 narcotics searches last year alone.
Simi Valley's three shepherds, on the other hand, specialize in searching buildings or backyards that might prove dangerous to police officers.
In a recent robbery, a suspect was hidden in an impenetrable thicket. The patrol officer couldn't see the perpetrator, but the dog had already caught his scent and quickly brought the bad guy to justice.
The K-9 unit at the Ventura County Sheriff's Office was established in May 1986 with the purchase of a shepherd named "Falk."
Only one black Labrador works for Sheriff Geoff Dean these days, and his job is to sniff out narcotics and contraband in the jails.
The other six are shepherds who are on duty 24 hours a day. They patrol Ventura, Fillmore, Ojai, Camarillo, Moorpark and Thousand Oaks. Not only are these talented dogs called upon to locate suspects, evidence or missing people, but they are also cross-trained to detect marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and MDMA or ecstasy.
So for all of you cat lovers out there, especially those of you who clog up the Internet with Kodak moments of your favorite felines, allow me to remind you that nobody on "Hawaii Five-0" ever said "Facebook 'em, Dano."
Cats, you see, are absolutely no help in a patrol car — but dogs, on the other hand, can take a big bite out of crime. Right, Chloe?

|Five Run Inning Lifts Apps To Victory Over Upstate
|Written by Megan Samassa
|Wednesday, 24 April 2013 08:59
Appalachian State University softball defeated Atlantic Sun conference leader, USC Upstate, 6-3 in a single non-conference game at Cyrill Stadium on Tuesday evening.
With the win the Mountaineers improve to 25-16 overall on the season, while the Spartans suffered only their eighth loss of the season, falling to 37-8 overall.
USC Upstate showed off its powerful offense immediately as leadoff hitter Meredith Barnes drove her team-high 11th home run over the center field fence to give the Spartans a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning.
Back-to-back line drives up the middle and a bunt single loaded the bases with no outs for Upstate before Shivaun Landeros struck out one and Alex Sohl caught a foul ball to retire the second out.
Kendall Settlemyre lined a single to the shortstop to drive in two runs for the Spartans, extending the USC Upstate lead to 3-0 before a throw from Sohl to Caroline Rogers caught Dana Landers coming from second base.
The Mountaineers responded in the bottom of the second as Meghan Smith and Ashley Seering hit back-to-back shallow singles to center field before Sohl drove a single up the middle to score Smith and bring the Apps within two of the Spartans.
Appalachian loaded the bases when Rogers was hit by a pitch with no outs before Sarah Warnock lined her second hit of the contest just over the shortstop's head, scoring two and knotting the score at 3-3.
The Apps loaded the bases for the second time in the inning when Allie Cashion drew an intentional walk. With two outs and runners on all bases Lindsay Loudermilk popped up a hit to the edge of the grass, allowing Rogers and Warnock to score and the Black and Gold to take their first lead of the game.
After no scoring for the next four innings, Loudermilk lined a deep home run over the right field wall to allow the Apps to take a three-run lead into the bottom of the seventh inning.
Loudermilk led the App State offense as she went 2-for-4 at the plate with three RBI, while Warnock added two hits and two RBI for the Black and Gold. The Mountaineers out-hit USC Upstate 9-7 in the contest and did not commit an error in the field for the second straight contest.
The Apps would see the leadoff hitter get on in four of the seven innings as Warnock, Smith, Heichen and Loudermilk all tallied leadoff hits.
The Spartan offense was highlighted by Settlemyre, who drove in two runs on one hit, while Barnes added one RBI on a solo home run in the first inning. Starter Hannah Alexander suffered the loss in the circle for Upstate as she pitched two innings before Ana Miller came on in relief in the top of the third to pitch five innings with six strikeouts.
Landeros (9-6) settled in after a rocky first inning to pitch seven complete innings with three strikeouts and seven hits.
App State will be back in action on Wednesday, April 24 when it returns to the High Country for a doubleheader against non-conference opponent North Carolina A&T. The doubleheader which was originally scheduled for 5 p.m. will now start at 4 p.m. at Sywassink/Lloyd Family Stadium.

At least, it would if you weren't wearing a helmet, a requirement when you sign up for the new Victory Lap rides around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Though the Brickyard is open every day except Christmas, pro drivers light up its famous track and road course only four times each year, including the Indy 500. That leaves plenty of idle time for visitors to take a spin around the most famous oval in the world.
Before Victory Laps launched this year, there were two options for a joyride: a cheap, everyman, tour-bus jaunt (free with museum admission) and a fat-cat $499 chauffeured adventure in a racecar through Indy Racing Experience. Victory Laps rings in at only $60—less than a speeding ticket in some places —for two laps around the 2.5-mile track. Choose to ride shotgun in an authentic open-wheel IndyCar, a NASCAR vehicle or a plush Chevy Impala pace car. You can even slip into a fire suit.
Your driver, an Indy Racing Experience instructor, will take the racing line twice around, floating high on the banked curves and passing the pits. On the straightaways, imagine what it must feel like for Helio or Danica to look up and see all 300,000 seats full—and cross the finish line with no other cars in front.
You might wonder why someone would opt for the Chevy instead of an authentic two-seater racecar—which gives you the thrill of riding just 2.5 inches off the ground—but it's perfect for families. The ride is $60 per car, not person, and three people can fit comfortably in the sedan. Kids aren't left out, either. The minimum age is 9 years old, and the track fits young riders with a special helmet, seat and neck restraints for safety.
Now dreams might not simply be achieved at the Speedway; they might be born.
Megan Fernandez is a native Hoosier and an executive editor at Indianapolis Monthly magazine, winner of most recent General Excellence award from the City/Regional Magazine Association. Favorite racing trivia: Indianapolis Motor Speedway pioneer Carl Fisher later developed Miami Beach.

The beta-lactamases excreted by the highly benzylpenicillin-susceptible Streptomyces strain R39 and the highly benzylpenicillin-resistant Streptomyces albus G were isolated and purified. Neither beta-lactamase exhibited dd-carboxypeptidase activity. Both were anionic at pH 8.3, did not require metal ions, and were not sensitive to iodine, but were inhibited by Cu(2+) and readily inactivated by heat. p-Chloromercuribenzoate, iodoacetate, p-aminobenzoate, and substrates and inhibitors of dd-carboxypeptidase had no effect on beta-lactamase activity. The K(m) and V(max) values for beta-lactamase activity were studied with 6-aminopenicillanic acid and with various penicillins and cephalosporins. The beta-lactamase from the related strain K11 of Streptomyces, which is intermediate in its susceptibility to benzylpenicillin, was partially purified, and its activity was compared on the various substrates.

1. Peptides that inhibit the dd-carboxypeptidases from Streptomyces strains albus G and R61 were synthesized. They are close analogues of the substrates of these enzymes. The enzymes from albus G and R61 strains are in general inhibited by the same peptides, but the enzyme from strain R39 differs considerably. 2. The two C-terminal residues of the peptide substrates and inhibitors appear to be mainly responsible for the initial binding of the substrate to the enzymes from albus G and R61 strains. The side chain in the third residue from the C-terminus seems critical in inducing catalytic activity. 3. Experimental evidence is presented suggesting that the amide bond linking the two C-terminal residues has a cis configuration when bound to the enzymes from strains albus G and R61. 4.

This book describes the cloze test, an instructional tool that has been used in the United States for the past 15 years but has not yet been extensively researched in francophone countries. The first section presents a synthesis of the most important American studies and outlines a theoretical framework for researchers and teachers of French who do not yet use cloze tests. This section includes a definition and history of the cloze test; a description of the test as a comprehension measure, as a diagnostic measure, and as an instrument of linguistic research and instruction; a discussion of the validity of the technique from the theoretical and experimental point of view; and examples of its application. Section 2 reports on exploratory research with Belgian populations ranging in age from 9 to 18. A final section reports that this study confirmed conclusions of American research, i.e., that the cloze test is an economical instrument which provides a valid direct measure of readability and comprehension; and that the test is an important diagnostic, research, and instructional tool. Appendices include the six texts chosen for the test and a test sample. A bibliography completes the volume. (Author/AM) [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 192 (0 ULg)

Benzylpenicillin and cephaloridine reacted with the exocellular dd-carboxypeptidase–transpeptidase from Streptomyces R39 to form equimolar and inactive antibiotic–enzyme complexes. At saturation, the molar ratio of chromogenic cephalosporin 87-312 to enzyme was 1.3:1, but this discrepancy might be due to a lack of accuracy in the measurement of the antibiotic. Spectrophotometric studies showed that binding of cephaloridine and cephalosporin 87-312 to the enzyme caused opening of their β-lactam rings. Benzylpenicillin and cephalosporin 87-312 competed for the same site on the free enzyme, suggesting that binding of benzylpenicillin also resulted in the opening of its β-lactam ring. In Tris–NaCl–MgCl2 buffer at pH7.7 and 37°C, the rate constants for the dissociation of the antibiotic–enzyme complexes were 2.8×10−6, 1.5×10−6 and 0.63×10−6s−1 (half-lives 70, 130 and 300h) for benzylpenicillin, cephalosporin 87-312 and cephaloridine respectively. During the process, the protein underwent reactivation. The enzyme that was regenerated from its complex with benzylpenicillin was as sensitive to fresh benzylpenicillin as the native enzyme. With [14C]benzylpenicillin, the released radioactive compound was neither benzylpenicillin nor benzylpenicilloic acid. The Streptomyces R39 enzyme thus behaved as a β-lactam-antibiotic-destroying enzyme but did not function as a β-lactamase. Incubation at 37°C in 0.01m-phosphate buffer, pH7.0, and in the same buffer supplemented with sodium dodecyl sulphate caused a more rapid reversion of the [14C]benzylpenicillin–enzyme complex. The rate constants were 1.6×10−5s−1 and 0.8×10−4s−1 respectively. Under these conditions, however, there was no concomitant reactivation of the enzyme and the released radioactive compound(s) appeared not to be the same as before. The Streptomyces R39 enzyme and the exocellular dd-carboxypeptidase–transpeptidase from Streptomyces R61 appeared to differ from each other with regard to the topography of their penicillin-binding site.

Doing Research with the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS)
Archived: September 26, 2013
The Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (National Center for Scientific Research) is a public organization under the oversight of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research. For this session of the ACS International Center™ webinar series, Dr. Xavier Morise, Director of the Washington DC Headquarters, will speak about the research landscape in France, and opportunities for scientific research collaboration and funding.
About the speakers
Dr. Guy Bertrand, Director, UMI CNRS-UCSD
Dr. Bertrand received his Doctorate in Physical Sciences from the Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse in 1979, after which he continued to serve as Research Attaché for the CNRS at the Université Paul Sabatier until 1980. Dr. Bertrand worked his way through several different entities of CNRS before accepting the role of Director of the newly-opened UCSD-CNRS Joint Research Laboratory at the University of California, San Diego just last year. Dr. Bertrand is also the Associate Editor of JACS Chemical Reviews, and, most recently, the fortunate recipient of the 2014 ACS Award in Inorganic Chemistry.
Xavier Morise, Ph.D. Director, CNRS USA, Canada, and Mexico
After receiving his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Rennes (France), Dr. Xavier Morise served as research fellow at the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory of the University of Oxford (UK) and at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of the University of Maryland (USA). In 1993, he joined the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) as a Senior Scientist in Coordination Chemistry. His main research interests were polytopic ligand and phosphorus chemistry, homogeneous catalysis and copolymers. From 2003 to 2007, he worked as S&T Attaché at the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Oslo, Norway, and then in Prague, Czech Republic from 2007-2012. Since October 2012, Dr. Morise has been the Director of the CNRS office for USA, Canada and Mexico.
Dr. Jean Thèves, Ph.D., Research Engineer and Deputy Director, CNRS USA, Canada, and Mexico
Dr. Thèves received his MD in Science Communication from the University of Strasbourg before serving as Scientific Attaché at the French Consulate in Toronto in 2000. In 2004, he went on to become Project Leader at the Observatory for Science and Technology (OST) in Paris, France, where his responsibilities included coordination of European projects on public policies for research (European Network of Excellence), and coordination of the European Network of Indicators Designers. Dr. Thèves served as S&T Attache for the French Embassy in Mexico before moving to CNRS headquarters in Washington DC, where he now serves as Research Engineer and Deputy Director.
Sarah Mondet, Associate Director, CNRS USA, Canada, and Mexico
After obtaining her Bachelor of Law from Orléans University (France), Sarah Mondet moved to the U.S.A., where she received her Master's Degree in Business Administration from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, specializing in communications and international management. After working on U.S. Congressman Vic Snyder's federal campaign and later in his district office, Sarah Mondet became a legislative correspondent for his legislative office in Washington D.C. She then joined the Québec government in Washington, where she was in charge of public affairs, in the field of international relations. Sarah Mondet has been the Assistant to the Director at the CNRS office in Washington D.C. since November 2011.

Patient Comments: Total Hip Replacement - Candidate and Causes
What caused you to need a total hip replacement?
Comment from: 55-64 Female Published: January 23
I had a total hip replacement on my left side one year ago due to a fall. No pain medications were taken and I didn't gain any weight. Three months of physical therapy and I am functioning about seventy percent from my previous lifestyle.
Comment from: Cheryl Parker, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: December 17
I'm a 54 year old female and my hip replacement is a horror story. I had a right hip replacement due to pain in the hip. Later I had to go right back into surgery for a bleed from a nicked vein. Into ICU for four days. My legs hurt so bad. I had to have blood transfusions. More days in a regular room, I was in so much pain nothing worked. Then to a wicked rehab for 5 days, had to escape it. Since I have been home hip popped out three times, I'm afraid to sneeze I wish I had never done it.
Comment from: Harley, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: September 26
I was in a car crash in October 2010, after which I was basically rebuilt with rods and plates and screws in each arm and leg. I broke nine ribs, two parts of my sternum, both ankles and a heel. Now I need a ball replacement in my right shoulder because the old was badly damaged and what was left had crumbled. I also need a right hip replacement because I now have arthritis in the joint which is very painful. Before all this I will have a plate and screw removed from my left wrist. I have to have two plates removed that were holding my pelvis together before they do the hip replacement but thankfully it will all be done at the same time. I am so grateful to a large medical team for all that they have done over the past two years to help me get my life back, thank you.
Comment from: 4444pack, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: August 01
Total hip replacement was because of osteoarthritis. I suffered for over two years. Finally my hip hurt so bad one day in May of the second year it made me go to the hospital. I was sent for an ex-ray, nothing, and then an MRI nothing, and then a cat scan nothing. The doctors were starting to wonder what was going on as I could hardly walk and the pain was extreme that I had to give up working. Then they tried one final ex-ray in a different town, that doctor came back and said you have less than 10% of your hip left. One month later they had me booked in for a total hip replacement, and I'm now on the road to recovery with physical therapy. I'm so glad I found this site to help me along with my recovery.

One word: "overweight!"
Comment from: MsScott, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: April 05
I'm a 52-year-old, former dancer and fitness instructor with osteoarthritis. I had a total hip replacement in March 8th. I was in the hospital for 4 days. I got up and walked to the bathroom the 2nd day. I went home with Percocet and warfarin (blood thinner to prevent blood clots). A nurse and a physical therapist came to my house 2-3 times per week. The physical therapists gave me exercises to do to increase my range of motion and strength. I followed their guidelines religiously. Yesterday I walked a quarter mile with a walker and a few blocks on my own without a walker or crutches. I walk very slowly - but I am recovering well. I plan to return to work in two days. I have been off pain meds for two weeks. I have no blood clots, and I would say it was a success! I think I can be fully recovered within a few months as long as I stick with the physical therapy.
Comment from: Syl, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: March 09
I had a total hip replacement done in 2008. I was 72 at that time. The surgery went well, and I was discharged from the hospital in five days. I followed all the instructions given by the physical therapist and other professionals. I used a cane for about six weeks and have been pain-free since, thanks to my doctor and all the other caregivers.
Comment from: pianogirl, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: March 01
I needed a total hip replacement on both hips at age 55. I had horrid pain all the time, even in bed, and could not do anything at all without tremendous pain! I tried losing 55 pounds, swimming, supplements, physical therapy, and water aerobics, but nothing at all helped the pain. I had my right hip replaced on Jan. 19, 2010, and my left hip replaced on July 13, 2010. My first hip went very well and the recovery was easy; not pain-free but relatively easy. I was in very good shape, however. My second hip went well, but I had to have a blood transfusion and my oxygen level took a week and a half to level out. I stayed in the rehab unit at the hospital for five more days as well. A year later, my hips are wonderful, and I have no pain. I am so very happy I had my surgeries.

Garrett was the first Oklahoma City fan to hit a half-court shot and the only one to hit one during the Hornets' two-year stay. Then an Oklahoma City police detective, he won a 2006 Ford Mustang. Now a special agent in charge with the state's attorney general, he actually got picked for the half-court contest again a couple years ago, but he didn't win the free-throw shooting contest.

Separate Vegan Menu!Posted on 12 / 10 / 2012
We were too late for "Super Happy Fun Time" (Zheng's version of happy hour), but our food was wonderful and I am happy to say they have a separate menu for vegan customers. Often we want to believe that vegetable dishes at Asian are vegan, but they often are prepared with animal products to give them flavor. The food was delicious, clean and the broccoli was cooked to perfection! They brought brown rice, even though I forgot to request it. I understand they have happy hour with several vegan options available for the frugal vegetarian. Oh, almost forgot the free edamame appetizer was delicious--prepared without added fat.

Support for depression and anxiety at the LGF
Publish Date: 17/11/2011
The Lesbian & Gay Foundation and the Manchester Primary Care Mental Health Service have joined forces to offer a new specialist service for the LGBT community.
The service is aimed at those experiencing common mental health problems (depression, anxiety, stress) who also identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, questioning or trans to access support in a safe and non-judgemental environment in the heart of Manchester's Gay Village.
Poor mental health can be debilitating and we know that significantly more LGB and T people will experience mental health problems than the wider population, often due to issues such as homophobia and discrimination.
The key to supporting people in the community to manage their mental health is to offer an accessible service where there is no fear of being 'outed' or judged.
Those accessing the LGBT mental health clinic will be offered between 6 and 8 one-to-one sessions in which you will be introduced to some useful self help materials and given the opportunity to develop coping techniques and a better understanding of how to look after your mental health.
The service is delivered by a highly experienced mental health worker in a community-based setting which can help those who are experiencing barriers to accessing mainstream services. The service is available to those aged 16 and over who are registered with a Manchester GP.
If you have any questions, or if you would like an application form, please contact Lucy Rolfe, Wellbeing Co-ordinator on 0845 3 30 30 30 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

J. Frank White Athletics
JFWA Athletics Practice Policy
Student-athletes are expected to attend all scheduled practices.
Student-athletes may miss one practice per season per sport without cause or question.
Student-athletes may not attend practice on school days when they were absent from school the entire day. Exceptions to this policy include absences for school‐sanctioned events like field trips, medical appointments and attending a funeral. The athletic director may also waive this policy for other rare circumstances if arranged prior to the school absence.
Student-athletes may miss practice due to illness, a medical appointment or because they were absent from school the entire day for a school‐sanctioned event.
Student-athletes may miss practice for tutoring so long as the coaching staff knows about the absence in advance.
Student-athletes may miss practices due to other circumstances so long as the absence is discussed with the coaching staff prior to the absence(s) and the coach agrees to excuse the absence. In those instances where the absence was not prearranged and/or consent was not given by the coach, the appropriate consequence from the penalties for unexcused absences will apply.
Any absence that falls outside the guidelines above will be considered an unexcused absence. Consequences for unexcused absences will be applied as follows:
- First unexcused absence: In sports where applicable, loss of starting position for one game and/or playing time in one contest. In all other sports, a commensurate consequence will be determined by the coaching staff.
- Second unexcused absence: In ALL sports, the player must sit out one contest as determined by the coaching staff.
- Third unexcused absence: In ALL sports, the player must sit out an additional contest as determined by the coaching staff. Other consequences may be added where deemed necessary by the coaching staff.
- Any additional absences: Indefinite suspension from the team, including all practices and contests until a solution is reached. In extreme situations, the suspension may become permanent.
Student-athletes are expected to be dressed and ready to practice at the starting time of the practice session.
Student-athletes who are late and/or not ready at the starting time of practice will face consequences as deemed appropriate by the coaching staff. Habitual lateness to practice may also result in the loss of starting position, suspension from game(s), or other as determined by the coaching staff.

The Facilitator – "I'll Be Back"
I ran into somebody yesterday who'd read my post, "The Middle-Man IS the problem", and dismissed it by saying that there will always be middle-men, so what's the point of dreaming otherwise? I think they missed my point. Yes, there will always be middle-men, especially if they add a useful service that other people want… Read More»

Facing an 11.3-million dollar drop in revenue, Harris County Commissioners are finding it a challenge to do more with less. Sheriff Adrian Garcia went before Commissioners, armed with a study that showed the county can save 3-million dollars a year, if it hired part-time jail medical staffers that presently work for private contractors.
Garcia's budget for the Sheriff's Department is over 392-million dollars, but is 5-percent less than what he spent last fiscal year.
Harris County Judge Ed Emmett says the Sheriff's Department gets the biggest allotment of the county's 1.23-billion dollar budget:
"There's no question, and we have to come up, we have to get the jail population under control. That's why I'm spending almost a day or two a week in Austin talking about continuing to fund mental health services, so that we keep those people out of the jail, because it cost a lot more to deal with them in the jail than it does through MHMRA or organizations like that."
Even though Commissioners lifted a 20-month hiring freeze, Judge Emmett says Sheriff Garcia must still go before the Court to approve creation and funding of new employment positions.
"I was not a fan of the hiring freeze all year, but it doesn't do any good to go back and say, 'Well, we should have done this.' What we have to do is where do we go from here and as I said, we need to give the budget to elected officials, give them the parameters of what personnel slots they have, and then let them run their business. And they're answerable to the voters."
Emmett has directed county Management Services to study Garcia's request and will make recommendations for Commissioners to consider at their next meeting.
