Win A Seat Aboard The First-Ever Commercial Flight Into Space Set For January 1,
by Chris Malone
posted Apr 19 2013 5:25AM
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is offering up a free ticket ($95,000 value) on its first commercial space flight in an online contest that culminates on Monday, April 22, 2013. At dawn on Monday, KLM will launch a high altitude balloon from the middle of the Nevada desert.
The balloon will fly higher and higher, going wherever the winds carry it until it reaches its final destination and bursts. The contestant with the entry that comes closest to both the height of the balloon at the end of its flight as well as the distance the balloon traveled will win a free trip into space on January 1, 2014.
The prize isn't just the space flight. The winner will also receive airfare for two to Curacao and a free stay at one of Curacao's luxury hotels; only one ticket into space, though.
An SXC
(Space Expedition Corporation)
Lynx will shuttle the winner and other passengers on the 60-minute flight into space. Passengers will travel at a max airspeed of Mach 2.9 as the SXC Lynx makes its way approximately 64 miles up into space. During the descent, the winner and other lucky passengers will experience up to 4Gs of force.
If this sounds like your dream trip, log on to the
KLM Space
website and submit your guess. On Monday, you can follow the balloon on its journey through both GPS and a live video feed. Good luck!

Chinese mobile phone maker Lenovo is getting ready for the launch of a new smartphone on the market in India, and it has already started to send out invitations to a press event set to be held next week, it seems.
According to Gizbot, the company actually plans two such events for the country, one on February 11 in Bangalore, and another on February 12 in New Delhi, but no specific info on what it could launch has been provided.
However, rumor has it that the handset vendor is gearing up for the launch of Vibe Z in India, so as to provide users with an alternative to Samsung's large Galaxy Note 3 smartphone.
Vibe Z was made official in early January with a large 5.5-inch touchscreen display and with 4G LTE connectivity packed inside. It also features a Snapdragon 800 processor, along with 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel camera, and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean loaded on top.

View Yale's Residential Colleges, Science labs, Athletics facilities, libraries, classrooms, and more. Look for the "360" icon at each stop for awesome panoramic views (Hint: there's a hidden gem on the ceiling of Woolsey Hall!).
With roughly 13 million holdings, Yale's libraries and collections fill a 22-building network across the Yale Campus and around Connecticut. At the heart of the campus, Sterling Memorial Library holds nearly four million volumes housed in sixteen levels of stacks.
The Yale University Art Gallery, the Yale Center for British Art, and the Peabody Museum of Natural History are active centers of undergraduate teaching and research.
Research Facilities
Students conduct scientific research in over one million square feet of laboratory space, from the 2,600 square foot class 100 cleanroom at the Yale Center for Microelectric Materials and Structures to the A.W. Wright Nuclear Structure Lab to the Yale Institute for Nanoscience and Quantum Engineering at the Malone Engineering Center.
Undergraduate productions find life in over twenty unique on-campus venues. New Haven boasts the Tony-award winning Yale Repertory Theatre and the historic Shubert Theater.
Athletic Facilities
Modern resources meet a proud tradition spanning over 150 years at Yale's many world-class athletic facilities. Student athletes and fans can let out their inner-Bulldog at the towering Payne Whitney Gymnasium, or Eero Saarinen's distinctive Ingalls Rink (a.k.a. "The Whale,") or the historic Yale Bowl.
Yale Dining
In addition to 12 intimate residential college dining halls, Yalies find food and friendship in the grand Commons Dining Hall, the Kosher Kitchen at the Joseph Slifka Center, or the Hall of Graduate Studies. Late-night snackers need look no further than Durfee's Sweet Shop on old campus.
West Campus
West Campus, a 136 acre scientific research center located 7 miles west of New Haven, includes 1.6 million square feet of research, office, and warehouse space that complements Yale's $1 billion investment in science and research facilities on the central campus.
Outdoor Life
When Yalies want to get outside, they may take a walk up to the Yale Farm, or hike at nearby East Rock Park for stunning views of New Haven and the Long Island Sound. Some may even venture to Yale's 1,500 acre Outdoor Education Center for a weekend of canoeing and camping.
Getting Around Campus
Yale and New Haven are best experienced on foot or by bicycle, but students also make use of convenient campus shuttles, Zipcar rentals, and student parking options.
Campus Safety
The Yale Security Department provides 24 hour campus patrols, door-to-door escorts, and campus shuttles. Over 400 Blue Phones across campus provide instant access to the Yale Police Department and other emergency services.

Are the alloy wheels on Ford Fiestas too weak for Britain's roads? One Auto Express reader thinks they are – and there are plenty of angry Fiesta owners on various online forums who agree.
An alloy on Anthony Lloyd's 2010 Titanium TDCi model buckled after just 10 months of ownership. Trowbridge Ford told Anthony, from Westbury, Wiltshire, that it wasn't covered under Ford's one-year Wear and Tear warranty, arguing that the damage was down to his driving style.
He paid £150 to replace it – and was then dismayed to find a second and then a third wheel starting to buckle, too. Ford forums showed this was a common problem with the Fiesta's wheels, but the company refuses to help.
Anthony moaned: "The reason I went for a Ford was I expected reliability. I was a student at the time and I didn't have money spare for problems. I now worry when I'm driving long distances that a wheel will buckle further, which could be dangerous."
Ford didn't back down when we called to complain, either. Its spokeswoman did admit "complaints relating to alloy wheel damage are not unusual in the UK", adding: "There have been some cases where Ford has contributed to repair costs as a gesture of goodwill."
However, it believed Anthony's alloys had buckled as a result of impact damage and was unwilling to help him out.
Gripes logged at fordownersclub.com/forums reveal endless issues with Fiesta alloys, though. User b1g_dav3 said: "A large number of us are having hassle with our alloys buckling." And JWSturner added: "I have 17-inch Street Pack alloys and all four buckled."
The RAC's legal advice team said that unhappy Fiesta customers have two potential avenues of redress. "Both are reliant upon proving that the vehicle was defective at the point of sale," explained a spokesman.
Owners may have a claim against the dealer under the Sale of Goods Act if they can prove the car was not fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality at the time of sale. But they'll also need to prove that problems weren't caused by wear and tear, misuse or accidental damage.
Alternatively, owners might take independent advice in respect of the product and what remedies may be available to them. At the very least the owner would need to establish that the manufacturer had been negligent in manufacturing the vehicle and they will need expert evidence to show that the fault was an inherent manufacturing defect.
The problem
The alloy wheels on reader Anthony's Fiesta keep buckling – and he's not the only one, according to online forums. But Ford doesn't want to know.
Ford's response
While there've been a number of cases of problems with alloys, Ford would not help Anthony, arguing his wheels had been damaged as a result of impact.
Legal advice
If you think your car is faulty, you need expert evidence to prove a manufacturing defect and you'll also need to prove the maker was negligent in manufacturing the vehicle.
Our verdict
With a wear and tear part like alloys, damage could always be down to the actions of the owner. But with this many complaints, Ford would do well to reassess the robustness of its alloys.

I bought a new mondeo in 2009, and within 3 months parts of the trim fallen of (under the doors on the outside), the carpet in the back seat started moving sideways and started to make bumps, making me to move it back into place every time someone was getting in the back in sit.
The plastic on the centre console was getting scratched really easy( all i had there was my phone which was on a leather case most of the time), the numbers on the gear knob also started to fade away after the first year, the ford symbols on the wheels and boot also started to fade away, the center console wasn't properly fitted to the floor what made it easy to shift to side slightly, it was also easy to move it back into place.
The computer system gave me a yellow warning (which i never found out what it was because when i took to a dealer on the warranty they said it was because the car needed servicing (when i still had over a month spare to do it).
Also the ford staff and salesman were arrogant and pushy (Prescot, St. Helens and Liverpool), also.
After two years I sold that crap, and I am glad to say that mondeo was the first ford and the last.
As a side note, I got it because parkers and autoexpress highly recommend it against the likes of passat or skodas, giving it five starts, however auto-express, carbuyer and other websites should worry less about bottle space and soft-touch materials and more about the bits and bobs on the trim and interior that can go wrong really quickly since writers get to have these cars for long test drives.
I know this reader mentions the fiesta, but i have also driven it, and there is so many bits that can go wrong so easily on that car, besides the rims.
Shame on ford for their crappy quality and also on all the websites and car magazines that fail to mention all this bits and bobs on cars and rate fords often with 4.5 to 5 starts. Readers of these reviews have to live with the car for a few years.
Hi, given the relatively few number of cars compared to the number sold I would personally query these instances of buckled wheels, which is probably why Ford is taking stance. I have driven a number of Ford cars with alloy wheels, and I am sure that they are manufactured in the same way by the same supplier, and I have never had a buckled wheel once. However I would say that instead of the 'unscientific' claim that the wheels are unsuitable for our roads that a proper investigation be carried out by the car owners that are having this issue by a correct engineer to establish whether, or whether not, there is a actual manufacturing problem. Obviously this would be at a cost to the owners of the cars but they could all share this, then a case can be launched against Ford in the small claims court if it was found out that the wheels were faulty otherwise we just end with this stalemate.
Having worked at ford I can say it is know in the dealer that alloys buckle and its a common fault on the Fiesta. The main alloys to do so are the Street Pack alloys that are for the Zetec S and you can get them on the Titanium. Another thing was if you had the Titanium spec from when they came out till recently when they change the alloys, if you scuffed them you needed to repaint the whole alloy and as they were macheine polished you would loose that look of them so would have to paint all 4 to match. I was supprised for Ford never wanted to help with the buckled wheel issue.
My 2011 Fiesta has 15 inch steel wheels and one rim was recently severly dented by an unseen object on an unlit rural road at night (maybe a pothole or raised manhole cover). I certainly heard and felt it though but was shocked at the severity of the dent in the rim. However I was fortunate and it was possible for it to be knocked back into shape or it would have been £80 for a new wheel! (steel remember and without tyre). I am not in the habit of kerbing my wheels nor driving over hard objects in the road and have owned numerous Fords over the years without any such problem. I wonder if the sidewalls of the tyres fitted to the larger rim sizes now in use are insufficient to absorb relatively small impacts?
If you have Comprehensive car insurance cover you could claim for a damaged wheel on your car insurance provided the damage can be attibuted to one identifiable incident rather than wear and tear. You will need to report it to your insurer as soon as possible though and your no claims discount will be affected.
Seeing as the Fiesta is one of the biggest selling cars in Europe, and lets be totally honest, the rest of Europe have bad roads as well, the glass smooth autobahn is a myth, if there was a problem with the alloys themselves , the sheer amount of vehicle sold would in theory produce thousands of cases, not just a few, if the numbers where in the thousands Ford would react.
So it's not the fact that the roads in some counties are horrendously pot holed ? And also if Anthony is a student with limited funds maybe he shouldn't be running around in a 2010 Fiesta that's about £10K
Re: Anthony Lloyd's

Buckling indicates distortion between the mounting plane & the
rim i.e bending of the metal – impact damage is usually associated
with kerb impacts which are the responsibilty of the driver – if
however the 'impact damage' cited by Ford results from 'impact' with
'irregularities of the road surface' (in bureau speak) i.e UK roads
with broken surfaces & potholes then, & the damage is more
prevalent on one make or model, it's obvious that those wheels are
under-designed or not up to spec.
What is the incidence of Fiesta wheel problems overall? Perhaps
there was a batch of 'soft' wheels?
Those with wheel problems should get together to form an 'action
group' to organise a proper technical investigation – Ford would
most probably act if a coherent case is made.
I have had my Fiesta Zetec-S for 14 months and after having it's 1st service was informed that my front tyres were at 3mm after covering just over 8000 miles and one alloy had buckled. To correct this the tracking needs to be re-aligned and 2 new tyres at a cost of nearly £500 if I chose to opt for premium tyres. Cause - too many pot-holes not being repaired most likely caused the impact damage!
Don't complain to Ford, complain to your local Council and the Government, who have allowed our roads to get into this disgraceful state.
Many car companys alloys are suffering from the "third world" state of our roads.
Any car manufacturer will use a third party manufacturer to make it's wheels. The wheels for my Suzuki Alto are made by Enkei, for example. Ford themselves have used some big names such as OZ (MK1 Focus RS alloys).
My suspicion would be that the wheels causing most problems (i.e. the "street pack" wheels mentioned in comments already) are made by a different manufacturer to the "normal" alloys fitted to Fiestas.
Would be interesting to know who made each type of wheel to see if they are made by different manufacturers.
As usual, Fix Or Repair Daily accepting no responsibility. Why do companies and private buyers alike still buy their overpriced crap??? Build quality is horrendous, residuals are poor and after 3 years they are worthless.
Dave Gaunt - I find it frustrating how you comment on a thread when you only have a few of the details, I WAS a student when it happened, I took a student loan to cover my tuition fees and worked to pay for everything else, I did not drink or go out instead I choose to buy a car to travel 75 miles a day to Uni and back, it was my decision to buy the car which by the way was closer to £15000.
I did not contact auto express in order to draw attention to myself, I did it to try and get Ford to do something for the people that have had the problem as well.
And also for reference there are a large number certainly more than a few hundred who have the issues.
For the people who have not turned this article into an attack against Fiesta owners or myself I think maybe you should spend time thinking how annoyed you would be if it was your car.
If anyone else has any more questions in relation to my personal circumstances please feel free to comment and I will reply to them individually.
you went to uni and took out a loan to cover tuition fees. yet you paid 15k for a car... you could of used that spare 15k to pay your tuition instead. and should of got urself a little cheap runner to uni. but unlucky with the wheels. i usually buy alloys seperate too the standard alloys sold with the car myself.
The car is on finance as is the student loan, also 70 miles x 5 = 350 miles a week = 20000 miles a year. Not really appropriate in an old Citroen Saxo or something!
I have a 2 year old zetec 1.6s took it for the service and told it needs 2 new alloy wheels due to buckling never had that issue in 30 years plus of driving and although I have hit pot holes its a fact of life in this country so the wheels should be up to it.Not happy.
I bent all 4 of mine within a year of owning the car... Awesome wheel you made there Ford. You think you have a problem in the UK. You want to try replacing them in Australia at 800 USD PER wheel
Having covered 60k miles in my 2009 Fiesta Zetec S tdci; I can confirm that the 16" wheels are awfully weak. I am about to replace my wheels for the 2nd time. This time I will be purchasing aftermarket wheels.
I have owned numerous Bmw's and Volkswagens in the past... Surprise surprise... No buckled wheels on those!
Hi. Had my Fiesta Titanium 1.6TDCI since new. Did most of my driving on motorways until last year. Low and behold a nice pothole (water filled with images) badly dented FNS wheel rim and tyre. Council rejected all responsibility. OK, replaced that with new. 4 months later new wheel with similar damage on a lesser pothole. I've driven for 30 years on alloys without a hiccup. These alloys have to be soft! Did a BSI search EN ISO 1741 tests alloys for impact, but this is just a minimum safety standard. So got onto some manufacturers. Surprise, they won't issue test results on their wheel impact tests according to this standard. Result is replace, even with after market, you still don't know what your getting. OK, the 'suggestion' is reduce titanium 195/45/16's to 195/50/15's. i.e. reduce the wheel to 15inch, increase the tyre wall to 50 'may' soften the blow. But the 15's are fitted standard to lesser models of the Fiesta and still get damaged. I'd buy after market wheels, but is there someone who will stand up and say ' their alloys are better based on test result 'x'
@cuke2u. Most people just want the car working. Vote with your feet if you have to, but with this problem, reputable wheel manufacturers should stand themselves out above the parapit and say 'our's are good' Or, has the whole industry turned yellow and downgraded due to cheap imports??
So far Stalemate.
I have had a ford fiesta with alloys for 2 years. after 3 weeks of having the car i had to replace 1 alloy. within 2 years i'm now on my 4th alloy thats buckled, how can ford say this is wear and tear.
Mine Have buckled the same way and are costing me a fortune in repairs. I have had 3 fords and this is the only one I have had problems with. I'm appalled at the lack of service I have required and the amount I have had to spend!
Same issue down under with my 09 Zetec. One wheel buckled completely on hitting a rain filled pothole and the tyre ran off the rim whilst my son was having a driving lesson so going slow.All the rims are out of true and to replace one is over a thousand Dollars AU from Ford ,whilst a good set of 4 aftermarket ones are less. Ford have very stringent requirements for wheel strength, kerbing,tilt mode analysis etc and I am sure these do not conform..I used to work for Ford in R&D so I have a good Idea.
Ford really need to lift their game on safety items like this.
we've had quite a few fords and have been happy until buying a 2009 fiesta titanium with 16" alloys. Result 3 buckled wheels within a year and Ford don't want to help just blaming the state of the roads. We replaced all the Ford wheels with a cheap set of alloys from Halfords in November 2010 and have had no further problems despite the roads now being in a worse state. The quality of the wheels means that they were/are not fit for purpose. It's a shame that Ford are trying to dismiss this problem as there must be a lot of dissatisfied customers like us who now will not buy from them again.
2011 plate fiesta Titanium 7 spoke alloy wheels, just had 3 wheels buckle in 2 months on hitting small pot holes, never had a wheel buckle in my 25yrs of driving, disgusting quality and service from Ford. This is a serious problem!
Fiesta titanium all four wheels buckled all need replacing, already changed wheel 2 months ago and that also needs replacing. Pondering what to do for the best cant keep replacing wheels every two months. Ford blame us for hitting potholes. Liked the car but now don't feel safe in it!
During the MOT of my Ford Fiesta 2008 model with only 44,000 miles this week I was advised to replace all four alloy wheels. Polar Ford, Warrington told me this was highly unusual in their experience. Well it cost be £493 with my Ford employee discount and Ford won't cover the costs. I am also concerned about the safety issues relating to alloy wheel buckling under normal driving conditions. Am I alone on this one?

Pendleton secures second place in region 1-2A with road win
LANDRUM — Cam Blackburn rushed for 165 yards and Christian Gossett added 125 more on the ground to lift Pendleton (7-3, 5-2) to a 38-21 road victory over Landrum on Friday in a key Region 1-2A clash. With the victory, coupled with Crescent's 45-20 loss to Chesnee and Blacksburg's 42-28 victory over Powdersville, the Bulldogs secure second place in the region heading into the first round of the state playoffs.
After the Cardinals grabbed a 21-17 lead at halftime the Bulldogs decided to go exclusively to their ground game over the final two quarters — and the strategy worked out extremely well.
Without throwing the ball once (Pendleton was 3-for-7 passing for 39 yards in the first half, with all the receiving yards credited to Joseph Burke) the victors scored three unanswered touchdowns over the final 30 minutes.
After getting an early turnover to star the game Pendleton scored first on a 3-yard TD dash by Blackburn, and Blackburn added another score, this time from 10 yards out, in the second quarter.
Landrum battled back to tack on three touchdowns before intermission but the Bulldogs got a bit of momentum back just before halftime when Alex Haynes split the pipes on a 37-yard field goal to cut the Cardinal lead to 21-17.
Gossett scored on a 19-yard scamper to cap off a seven play march early in the third quarter, giving his team the lead the stay at 24-21.
Landrum could not answer back the rest of the way.
Blackburn added some insurance for his team with a 19-yard run to increase the Pendleton advantage to 31-21, and Dakota Terry sealed the deal with a 15-yard scoring run to put the finishing touches on a 38-21 victory.

Forensics/Debate Squad
The internationally known Louisiana College Debate Squad travels extensively through the South and Midwest. The students have completed successfully against some of the major schools in the nation. The squad is open to anyone interested in developing skills in public speaking, argument development, general knowledge, and critical thinking. Scholarship aid is available.
Academic credit may be earned by participating on the Louisiana College Debate Squad, but enrolling in CA 115/315 is not a requirement to participate. Students wishing to receive academic credit may receive a maximum of four (4) hours credit for CA 115 and four (4) hours credit for CA 315, but no more than one credit per semester may be earned. Admission to the squad requires permission of the Director of Forensics.
Students will be given the opportunity to attend intercollegiate debate tournaments. Louisiana College attends five to six tournaments per semester. Most of the tournaments, with the exception of national tournaments, are Friday through Sunday tournaments. National tournaments usually include weekdays other than Friday. No other course is required to participate on the Debate Squad.
Since attending an intercollegiate debate tournament is representing Louisiana College, any classes missed will be officially excused by the Vice President for Academic Affairs and the student will be allowed to make up any work missed. However, it is the student's responsibility to talk with his/her instructors prior to the absences.
Louisiana College pays for tournament expenses such as travel, lodging, and tournament fees. Other occasional fees will be paid such as banquet tickets, etc.
Louisiana College participates in tournaments sanctioned by the National Parliamentary Debate Association, the largest collegiate forensic organization in the nation. This format also allows LC to participate in international tournaments. Louisiana College became the first college or university in Louisiana to participate in an international tournament when they traveled to the Pacific Cup Tournament in Vancouver, B.C.
Limited scholarship funds are available from various forensics endowments. Available funds are awarded by the Director of Forensics. Should a student resign from the Debate Squad or be ordered off during the semester, any scholarship funds awarded for that semester must be repaid to Louisiana College.
The Louisiana College Debate Squad dates back to the founding of the college and is the oldest student organization on campus. In 1989, it was awarded the Brady Garrison Award by the Cross Examination Debate Association. In 1989, the Louisiana College novice debate team won third place at the National Parliamentary Debate Association's National Championship Tournament.

Australia ranked number one in Tests and ODIs
Australia have reclaimed the number-one Test ranking and have also retained their top ODI spot in the Reliance ICC Team Rankings at the May 1 annual update, International Cricket Council announced today.
This is the first time since December 2008 that Australia have been ranked number-one in both Tests and ODIs at the same time. Australia last held the number-one Test ranking in August 2009, when they were displaced after losing 2-1 to England.
Australia have now edged ahead of South Africa, which had held the number-one position since August 2012.
In the latest table, Australia have gained eight ratings points to move up from 115 to 123, while South Africa has dropped from 127 to be level on 123, with Australia ahead of South Africa by a fraction of a point.
The results from 2010-11 have now been dropped from the rankings calculation, while the results from 2012-2013 are now reduced to a weighting of 50 per cent. In 2010-2011, Australia had lost to India (2-0) and England (3-1), while they suffered a 4-0 defeat in India in 2012-2013.
Australia captain Michael Clarke was delighted with the news that his side was now on top of both the Test and ODI tables. 'We are incredibly proud to be the number-one ranked team in the world in both Test and ODI cricket, which are two of the team's most important goals,' said Clarke.
'There has been an enormous amount of hard work and effort on and off the field that has led to this result.
'However, the true test of a great side is sustained success and now our goal is to maintain these rankings and continue to play great cricket as we lead into challenging Test series against Pakistan and India, and the ICC Cricket World Cup at home,' he added.
Looking back at the past season, which has turned out to be the cornerstone of Australia's rise to the number-one ranking in Tests, Clarke said: 'We had a fantastic home summer against England and a great series win away against South Africa earlier this year, but the challenge now is to continue that form.
'We have a huge amount of respect for the South Africa side, and the length it held the number-one Test ranking is testament to the great side it is. South Africa will no doubt continue to be a formidable opponent in Test match cricket,' said Clarke.
Australia were the first team to be ranked number-one in Test cricket when the ICC introduced the current rankings system in 2003. Since the system was introduced, Australia has been ranked as the number-one Test side for 74 months, more than any other side. South Africa is a distant second, having spent 23 months on top.
South Africa had outstanding 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 seasons when they won six of the seven Test series they played. It defeated Sri Lanka (2-1), New Zealand (1-0), England (2-0), Australia (1-0), New Zealand (2-0) and Pakistan (3-0). However, as these series are now only weighted at 50 per cent, they have dropped four ratings points to slip from 127 ratings points to 123.

Resource Description
The Mass Spectrometry (MS) and Proteomics Resource of the W.M. Keck Foundation Biotechnology Resource Laboratory strives to provide investigators with access to the most advanced protein profiling technologies. These technologies are implemented with a broad spectrum of mass spectrometry based techniques and protein/peptide chemistries to separate, characterize and quantify analytes from complex biological samples. The resource has 11 staff including 4 with Ph.D. level appointments, with well over 100 years of mass spectrometry and protein chemistry experience. It is equipped with 9 state-of-the-art diverse tandem mass spectrometer systems including TOF-TOF, Quadrupole-TOF, Triple-Quadrupole, FT-ICR, and LTQ-Orbitrap type analyzers with either matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) or Electrospray ionization (ESI) sources coupled to HPLC systems.
Given these diverse technology platforms, the resource supports a wide array of scientific research from both Yale and external investigators. Samples for MS analysis includes proteins, oligonucleotides, lipids, carbohydrates, synthetic peptides, and a wide range of small molecules including chemical intermediates. In FY 2008, for example, the MS and Proteomics Resource, with its dedicated staff and extensive knowledgebase, carried out 11,528 MS analyses for investigators from more than 100 institutions in 10 Countries ranging from government laboratories to academic and private research institutions.
To address the broad range of complexity inherent in many proteomics projects, the Keck Laboratory offers a comprehensive array of instrumentation and services, and if necessary can develop complementary methods to achieve successful sample analysis. The methods generally follow two mainstream workflows. One workflow uses a gel based Quantitative or Differential 2D gel electrophoresis (DIGE) combined with tandem mass spectral identification of proteins, and another, uses an automated "bottom-up" or "shot-gun" tandem mass spectral peptide identification approach. Both of these approaches can be quantitative with chemical and stable-isotope tagging of proteins or peptides (e.g., ICAT, iTRAQ, SILAC). In addition, two new cutting edge MS based technology services involving phosphoproteome profiling, and absolute quantitative ("targeted") proteomic analysis of multiple pre-selected biomarker proteins have been recently developed and being implemented.
Finally, a web based platform called Yale Protein Expression Database (YPED) is utilized for users to integrate, analyze, and visualize their results.

Chemical pneumonitis
Chemical pneumonitis is inflammation of the lungs or breathing difficulty due to inhaling chemical fumes or breathing in and choking on certain chemicals.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Many household and industrial chemicals are capable of producing both an acute and a chronic form of inflammation in the lungs.
Some of the most common dangerous, inhaled substances include:
- Chlorine gas (during use of cleaning materials such as chlorine bleach, in industrial accidents, or near swimming pools)
- Grain and fertilizer dust
- Noxious fumes from pesticides
- Smoke (from house fires and wildfires)
Chronic chemical pneumonitis can occur after only low levels of exposure to the irritant over extended periods of time. This causes inflammation and may lead to stiffness of the lungs, which decreases the ability of the lungs to get oxygen to the body. Unchecked, this condition may ultimately lead to respiratory failure and death.
Chronic aspiration of acid from the stomach and exposure to chemical warfare can also lead to chemical pneumonitis.
- Air hunger (feeling that you cannot get enough air)
- Cough
- Difficulty breathing
- Possibly wet or gurgle sounding breathing (abnormal lung sounds)
- Unusual sensation (possibly burning feeling) in the chest
- Cough may or may not occur
- Progressive disability (related to shortness of breath)
- Rapid breathing (tachypnea)
- Shortness of breath with only mild exercise
Signs and tests
The following tests help determine how severely the lungs are affected:
- Blood gas
- CT scan of chest
- Lung function studies
- X-ray of the chest
- Swallowing studies
Treatment is focused on reversing the cause of inflammation and reducing symptoms. Corticosteroids may be given to reduce inflammation, especially before long-term scarring occurs.
Antibiotics are usually not helpful or needed. Oxygen therapy may be helpful.
In cases of swallowing and stomach problems, eating small meals in the upright position can help.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outcome depends on the chemical agent involved, the severity of exposure, and whether the problem is acute or chronic.
Respiratory failure and death can occur.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have trouble breathing after inhaling (or possibly inhaling) any substance.
Household chemicals should be used only as directed and always in well-ventilated areas. Never mix ammonia and bleach together.
Work rules regarding breathing masks should be followed and the appropriate breathing mask should be worn. People who work near fire should take care to limit exposure to smoke or gases.
Be careful about giving mineral oil to anyone who might choke on it (children or the elderly).
Don't siphon gas or kerosene.

VG Lacson dismisses reports SM Prime negotiating with SP-A A +A
Friday, July 18, 2014
NEGROS Occidental Vice Governor Eugenio Jose has dismissed reports that SM Prime Holdings Inc. (SMPHI) is trying to reach out to the members of the Provincial Board for a negotiation to stall future legal actions.
This was disclosed by a highly-reliable source who said that a member of the Provincial Board is allegedly being used as a channel of SM Prime for the property giant's offer to negotiate and hold a one-on-one talk with the rest of the board members.
The source refused to name the board member.
"I'm not aware of this. If indeed true, SM should meet with the board as a whole. But I don't see any value in meeting us," Lacson said.
In May this year, the SMPHI through its legal counsel Edgar Ryan San Juan filed another civil case for the declaration of nullity of the deed of conditional sale and contract of lease for the 7.7-hectare properties between the province of Negros Occidental and Ayala Land Inc. before the Regional Trial Court (RTC) in Bacolod City. The case is now with RTC Branch 48.
Reports on SM Prime supposedly reaching out to the Provincial Board came on the heels of the pronouncements of Board Members Salvador Escalante of the Second District and Alain Gatuslao of the Fifth District that the SP is planning to file counter charges against SM Prime.
Gatuslao, chair of the committee on laws and ordinances, said the series of cases filed by SM Prime against the Provincial Government caused the Capitol to incur losses in income and job opportunities in the past three years that the properties were left undeveloped by Ayala Land.
Escalante said the Provincial Board plans to ask the Supreme Court to issue a finality on the case.
Assistant Provincial Legal Officer Mary Ann Lamis is still preparing the answer of the respondents led by Gov. Alfredo Marañon to the nullification case filed by SM Prime.

I always appreciate receiving a handmade present, there's something rather personal and special about it. When we decided to make new sets of Greeting Cards, I wanted to bring as much as possible of a handmade feel into my designs.
For inspiration I settled on one of the most iconic seasonal themes and symbols; the snowflake. Snowflakes are incredibly intricate and fascinating objects that always amaze me when I see them up close. 'But how do I bring the human touch into a printed product?', I asked myself. The answer to this question lies in the combination of paper and photography. I decided to create five different snowflake designs by cutting and curling paper.
My designs required the painstaking task of cutting and slicing the paper, so that elements of the snowflake would but completely cut out while others would be curled up to give some dimension to the paper cut outs.
With the help of our photographer Rob, the delicate and fragile paper snowflakes were photographed against vibrant coloured backgrounds to create that lovely, warm Christmassy feel.
Making something by hand means that not everything is perfect. If you look closely, you will notice that there are little imperfections in the snowflakes – after all, if you wanted everything to be perfect and immaculate you would make your snowflake digitally. And that would be boring!
While we would love to make every card by hand that we send out, we did realise that making things by hand do take time and we simply are not as quick and handy as Santa's little helpers…
We help our customers print things like Business Cards, MiniCards, and Letterheads, making it easy for them to share information about themselves or their business in the real world.

Edited by DaveT on 05/17/2015 22:20:50 MDT.
Mem-Day weekend I hiked up Lyons Creek trail and got bogged down in mud and snow starting at about 7k. Creeks and ephemeral streams are running high. The Crystal Range (Pyramid and north) appeared quite snowbound viewed from the west. Since then it's been unseasonably cool and stormy so my presumption is not much has changed in the alpine zone. My glimpses at the range from the valley in the last week showed it still solidly white.For camping, the mosquitoes weren't yet out but blackflies were making themselves known. There are plenty of bare sites to camp on but the creeks can be a real impediment.An easy scouting trip would be the Ralston summit trail from Sayles Flat on 50.Cheers,Rick
Edited by DaveT on 05/17/2015 22:20:20 MDT.
Hi Dave,Yup, avoid peak skeets at all costs! I'm done predicting our wacky weather but early-mid July sounds reasonable for what you're proposing and the days will still be quite long.Cheers,Rick
Rick & Dave,Three friends and I are going to do the TRT starting on July 2nd.Can you give me any idea of what the night/evening time temps might be like?I am debating if I should take a 15 degree bag or my 40 degree Marmot Atom bag and layer up the clothing with thermawrap pant and jacket.If this matters, I am a cold sleeping and use a bivy, which can add warmth, and a GG torso pad and thinlight pad.Thanks for any info on the weather/temp conditions to help us/me plan on what gear should be in my kit.-Tony
Hey Tony,I will be starting the TRT right behind you guys on the 5th, beginning at the Kinsbury South Trailhead going clockwise. Average temps for July in Lake Tahoe are 79 for the high and 40 for the low. Tahoe is anything BUT average though! Im pretty sure that snow has fallen in every month in Lake Tahoe. So skimpimg on the sleep system could be a bad idea. I have been debating between the Marmot Atom and the BPL UL 60 Quilt and have come to the conclusion that both would require multiple insulating layers to boost the temps seen on the trail. For me both the Atom and the UL 60 are for temps closer to 45, maybe 50. With an insulated jacket like the Montbell Ul Down Inner maybe i can push up to 5 degrees more. But thats it=(. If I also add a pair of insulated pants i can go even lower. This only puts the system at the 40 degree range. Even with a bivy this may be a little close for comfort and gettin up there on the scales. My solution was to replace my current bag/quilt and insulating gear with the JRB NO Sniveller. This way i know i'll be warm and i can leave those others insulating pieces at home. The NO Sniveller is comfortably rated at 30 degrees and weighs only 21 oz in a Regular. The dual function is such a beautiful thing! What is the weight of your 15 degree bag? This will most likely be way over kill for this hike=(No shelter besides the bivy? I would add a poncho tarp to protect you and all your insulated gear. You could also leave your rain gear if you went this route; Something to consider=) What bivy will you be using? Hope this helps you some Tony! I hope to see you guys on the trail as well=)-Aaron
Aaron,Thanks for your input....maybe you will run into us on the trail?I am going with Jeremy, Jay, and Cameron- who have all been profiled/seen in the last few photo essays that I have posted.We are starting out of Tahoe City and moving clockwise and hope to finish the loop in 9 or 10 days.Will be my longest number of days out on the trail and the longest distance I have travelled.My sleeping system is going to be the Atom w/ thermawrap pants and jacket....BPL thermal top, clothing that I have hiked in and wind shirt, if I need to.The alternative is my Marmot Helium EQ 15F bag, which comes in at 2 lbs 3 oz. In that case, I would not bring the thermawrap pants.I might start out with the Helium and then at a resupply point a few days in, switch out to the Atom once are past the Mt Rose area where there are reports of snow. (1 O'clock position on the map).I do use a MLD Bivy Soul Side Zip with eVent top and a Silnylon Poncho/Tarp.If the bugs are an issue, I will switch out to my Contrail Tarptent.Fortunately, we have Jeremy's dad meeting us along the trail for a resupply.Nice weight on your JRB!I have not experimented wtih a quilt system yet, though Jeremy is using the Golite quilt.So looking foward to this trip!-Tony
Hi Tony,Sounds like a great trip you have lined up.Going modular on your sleep system--with a light bag and insulated clothing you can press into service as needed--sounds about right for July, although you have to pay attention to the extended forecast before leaving. Some years we get that mid-summer push of moisture from the interior (southeast) that loads up the range with thunderstorms. It's related to the perverse weather pattern that makes it rain in Phoenix in July, and is more common in the central and southern Sierra than in Tahoe.Far more typical for July is dry and warm/hot. The 15-degree bag will be overkill unless you really draw the short straw weatherwise. You're more likely to find yourself sleeping half out of your mild-weather bag.Famous last words, right? ;-)Cheers,Rick
Rick,Thanks for the vote of confidence in my setup.I guess that I can look at this as an experiment on how well my sleeping system works at temps below 40F? :)The 15 F bag would fry me, but it is the only other one that I have.Anyway, when the trip is done, I will be posting up a detailed photo essay for everyone to see.P.S. Sorry if I have highjacked this thread.-Tony
Hey, the TRT goes through Desolation so you're not technically jacking the thread, just expanding it a bit.I really think you'll do just fine--although it would be "interesting" to be up there this week, wouldn't it? This weather year is built upside-down.Cheers,--Rick
Here's the current trail conditions for the TRTThe following areas are mostly clear of snow:Spooner Summit to Snow Valley Peak ( a few partial snow patches that are easily traversible) Spooner Summit to Kingsbury (OPEN) Brockway Summit towards Tahoe Meadows (clear for 5.5+ miles to Mt. Baldy) Tahoe City to Brockway Summit (OPEN) Tahoe City to saddle below Twin Peaks (clear for 5+ miles)Updated June 8th, 2009
