This screening tool can help eliminate unwanted side effects, time, anxiety, and the huge costs associated with the treatment of MRSA.
The NESDEP IU can be operated by laymen with minimal staff training The device operates on a biochip that measures 7 millimeters (mm) by 14 mm and comprises nano-scale electrodes and microfluidic structures that contain a mix of carbon nanotubes characterized to hybridize with very specific DNA molecules.
Importantly, the NESDEP IU and its associated screening test are 10 times less expensive than competing medical equipment in the market. The NESDEP IU can screen a MRSA-suspect patient within two hours, thereby accelerating the delivery of an appropriate treatment.
"The device is highly durable and portable, and comes in a durable MIL-SPEC plastic case with wheels. It weighs approximately 35 kg and can fit on a 3-foot table top," said Frost & Sullivan Saju Mathew, Industry Analyst. "In the future, F Cubed plans to integrate several biochips into the system to enable the simultaneous detection of a wider range of pathogens."
Apart from being applied for the rapid identification of pathogenic bacteria in medical diagnostics, F Cubed uses the NESDEP IU in food safety and environmental science applications as well. It is also looking into pathogens such as E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella due to the recent passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act in 2011. As the regulatory hurdles in the food safety industry are not as stringent as in the medical diagnostics industry, Frost & Sullivan expects strong traction for F Cubed in this segment.
"F Cubed's technology rests on exclusive licenses obtained from the University of Notre Dame (Notre Dame, Indiana) and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology," noted Saju Mathew. "Through careful, strategic patent planning, F Cubed has isolated critical features and pursued strategies that are most likely to protect the company's value."
Furthermore, to ensure an efficient and healthy relationship with its customers, initially, F Cubed will only serve those regions where service personnel are only a day's drive away from the customer's location. The low requirements for device functioning and maintenance are allowing F Cubed to consider penetrating countries with inadequate resources, infrastructure, or trained medical staff.
The company's technology will truly go a long way in saving lives as well as ensuring safer food and water. For these important technological advances, Frost & Sullivan is proud to present the 2014 North America Frost & Sullivan Award for Technology Innovation Leadership to F Cubed.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated uniqueness in developing and leveraging new technologies, which significantly impacts both the functionality and the customer value of the new products and applications. The award lauds the high R&D spent toward innovation, its relevance to the industry and the positive impact on brand perception.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

Fans take part in a mosh pit as Social Distortion performs on the Main Stage during the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Fields on Sunday, April 14, 2013 in Indio, Calif. / Marilyn Chung/The Desert Sun
Jim Curtis, who is in charge of special events for the city of Indio, answers a call as he works the Coachella Festival, Friday, April 12th, 2013. / Jay Calderon/The Desert Sun
For three weekends a year, Indio is the music capital of the country.
Every April, hundreds of thousands of fans descend on a 600-acre piece of land in the east valley normally used for polo to hear great music and be part of a cultural phenomenon.
PHOTOS: Coachella 2013: Scenes from Weekend 1
But large-scale events like the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, which kicks off its second weekend today at the Empire Polo Club, takes planning.
Lots of planning, in fact.
VIDEOS: Coachella 2013: Parties keep the groove going | Coachella brings out the dancing |
Indio special events coordinator Jim Curtis spends the three event weekends including that of Stagecoach: Californias Country Music Festival in and around the concert venue with a phone attached to his hip ready to answer residents questions, address complaints or help out in other ways.
He answers the concert hotline, which generates about 50 calls a day.
RELATED: Coachella Weekend 2: Set time changes | Fans seek 'magic moment' to close out week one of Coachella
I try to answer every call. They want an answer right away, said Curtis.
Curtis also participates in multiple meetings per day between Goldenvoice officials, La Quinta officials, police and security.
MORE: Visit MyCoachella.com for updates throughout weekend 2
Its all hands on deck, he said.
The intent of those meetings is to provide status reports, make sure things are running smoothly and look ahead to the next day.
Its a living event. You never know whats going to happen, said Curtis. Its long days and long nights, but its all worth it in the end when you see the people smiling and having a good time.
Local law enforcement officials also say theyve been able to improve efficiency from year to year.
Weve been doing this since Pearl Jam, since the very first concert, said Indio Police Department spokesman Ben Guitron. What we have today is an experience thats developed over the past 14 years.
Goldenvoice President Paul Tollett first booked a Pearl Jam concert at the polo facility in 1993. Coachella was founded six years later and since 2001 has been an annual occurrence at Empire. Stagecoach followed in 2007.
Theres a lot of mechanics that goes into it, said Guitron. It does take a lot of work but weve created a template ... a plan. We constantly have to make adjustments, but we are very happy.
The city of Indio provides and coordinates police and fire protection, contracted security, medical services, outside law enforcement and city staff services for all three festivals. In 2012 the cost of those services came to $2.77 million, which was covered by Goldenvoice per an agreement, said city finance director Rob Rockwell.
As the host agency for the concerts, Indio police organizes all public safety needs. That means working with about a dozen agencies that include police departments from valley and county cities, the sheriffs department, California Highway Patrol, Cal Fire, American Medical Response and Alcohol Beverage Control.
In response to Mondays bombings at the Boston Marathon, Guitron said they plan to be more vigilant.
Were reviewing everything we do and were working with the security staff to be more observant, he said.
The first Coachella weekend went as smooth as possible, Guitron said. There were arrests for alcohol and drugs, as is the case every year, but nothing out of the ordinary.
In addition to the widening and paving of streets around the venue to improve traffic, problems relating to loud music and extraneous noise seemed to dissipate, some residents noticed.
The bass is what everyone complained about last year. The bass was making it to our home and we are 2 miles from the main stage, said La Quinta resident Barbara Pye.
Her house would shake and it was hard for her to hear her TV. But thats not the case this year.
The first weekend is a 100 percent improvement over last year. We were shocked. We werent expecting that kind of turn-around, said Pye.
Some residents dont seem to mind the 1 a.m. music curfew, which has been in effect for the Friday and Saturday performances since 2010. The cut-off for those nights used to be midnight.
The change came after 2009 when headliner Paul McCartney played until nearly 1 a.m. and cost Goldenvoice thousands of dollars in penalties.
The later curfew hasnt bothered Dave Salazar, whose father, Roy, lives on Avenue 50 in a house directly across from the concert venue and main stage. Most of the late-night performers are inside the tents, which help muffle the noise and are furthest from his fathers house, he said.
So we really dont hear it at all. Its not that big a deal, said Salazar.
While the bands have been able to perform later into the night in recent years, the curfew for campers this year has been moved up to 1:30 a.m.
Indio resident Marjorie Geiger, who lives adjacent to the venue along Monroe Street, appreciates the change.
Its not like it used to be. Thats good. Its quieter, she said.

Jeremy Ross celebrates his touchdown against the Green Bay Packers during second quarter action Thursday November 28, 2013 at Ford Field in Detroit.
- Filed Under
Every week, Free Press sports writer Carlos Monarrez asks one very special Lions player three questions that reveal everything about his hopes, his dreams and his character. Return specialist Jeremy Ross is on the hot seat this week.
Question: You were born in San Diego. How did those brutal California winters prepare you for one of the NFL's best performances in snow?
Ross: "The secret is the beach. The beach is a replica of snow, in a sense, where there's not too much footing. It's more slippery in the sand. You run on the beach a little bit, it kind of gets you prepared for the snow." ...

Healthy Homes
Healthy House Institute works to call attention to home ventilation requirements
The Healthy House Institute (HHI) and Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) are working to call public attention to new requirements put forth by the U.S. Green Building Council, as this initiative highlights the use of technology like radiant heated floors to reduce toxins in a residence, according to a joint release.
Radiant heating systems allow homeowners to provide a clean atmosphere for their families, as the technology doesn't require the use of toxin-producing radiators and heating ducts.
The HHI outlined the need for fresh air inside of a home, as the organization noted that this is often overlooked by people who focus on pollution outside of a residence.
"Promoting fresh air indoors through better ventilation is a positive and necessary step to protect ourselves, our children, elderly and loved ones at home where we are most vulnerable," said Allen Rathey, president of HHI. "The USGBC's recommendations are especially commendable because they are sensible, allow flexibility in how proper ventilation is achieved, and balance today's energy-saving economic concerns with environmental and climate factors."
Unhealthy pollutants can enter the home in a variety of ways, even through excess moisture that is collected in the structure of a house, according to the release.

SILVER CITY >> Western New Mexico University tennis programs signed a pair of new recruits in Pauline Emin and Vladimir Gnilozubov.
"Both Pauline and Vladimir are going to be great addition to the WNMU's tennis teams," stated head coach Yair Banuelos. "Pauline being a transfer will bring maturity and experience to our program. She has been competing and training at a high level.
"Vladimir is a promising young player who is going to keep our men's program strong," Banuelos added. "At his young age, he has a lot of experience as a singles and doubles player; he is going to be a great player for us."
Emin will transfer in from Grand Canyon University and join a Lady Mustang squad that nearly captured the RMAC Tournament Championship and returns a solid squad for 2014-15. Originally from Viry, France, she played in three singles matches during the 2012-13 season going 2-1, while also piling up a 2-1 doubles record. In her first season with the Lopes she accumulated a 3-1 doubles mark during the 2010-11 campaign. The 5-foot-8 senior played her high school tennis at Lycee Arbez Carme.
Gnilozubov will join the reigning five-time RMAC men's tennis champions from Kazakhstan, Astana. The incoming 5-foot-8 freshman is currently ranked around 900 in the ITF juniors after playing both the ITF Juniors and National Tournaments this past year. He won a tournament at the U18, several semi-final victories and advancing to the finals throughout that same run as a singles player. On the doubles side, he collected three wins. Since the age of 12 he has been playing on the Juniors Davis Cup.
WNMU returns six players on both the men's and women's teams, with four returning as seniors (Ganna Tiurina, Juan Pablo Fuentes, Omar Lopez and Alvaro Nunez).
Both teams will open the season in September at the New Mexico State University Invitational.

Comments by Blaize
(Oops, I clicked submit too early) @sarah: mommy-daddy/grandma-worshipping little brat who is still too naive to truly think for herself.
People who like to be judgmental can't complain when they are harshly judged. So here it goes: @Erin, I was going to address your comments, but your third to last sentence shows us everything we need to know about you.
@Lacie: Wow, those comments are awfully JUDGMENTAL for a Christian, but then again, should we really be surprised by that? A lot of you have quite a track record. (FYI, there was no sex tape or getting drunk, so I'm not sure where you pulled that out of.) As for her being 'devilish' because of her clothes and needing to be 'punished': Not everybody believes or lives by your religious views. Maybe it's time you realized that.
@Sarah: You poor, loveless, bitter little girl. First of all, a whore is a person who has sex with people for money. Second, the nature of your constant animosity towards Miley Cyrus makes you sound sound like a m
@the real beeyotch: (btw, your name suits you perfectly) Aww, you're just jealous because 1.) Liam Hemsworth wants her instead of you, and 2.) she's rich and famous and you're not. Pobrecita. Poor little baby. Even if I did believe that you were 'close friends' with Lindsay Lohan, why would anyone listen to ANYTHING that miserable little wretch has to say? @may: sometimes when people wear short shorts and bend over, their ass may show a little bit. I had an embarrassing moment like that in my yard not too long ago with a pink pair of short shorts, so needless to say I never wore that pair again in public.
You people calling her a slut and a whore for expressing her opinion are just immmature. Grow up. As for the rest of you, not every body is a Christian and not everybody agrees with all Christian teachings, and you don't have the right to do anything about that. Get over it, and stop being so narcissistic, JUDGMENTAL, and controlling when it comes to your religious beliefs.
@Ali: If you had any common sense at all, you wouldn't need anyone to explain to you the difference between homosexuality and murder. Put simply:murder harms others. I think it's kind of ironic that you, as a Muslim, are condemning gays as 'evil.' Let's not mention all the atrocities that your precious little Islam has condoned and committed. @Sam: The fact that homosexuals can't naturally reproduce is irrelevant. Just because someone can't have a baby doesn't mean they should be banned from marrying or being with the one they love. Not everybody can have a child and not everybody wants one either. That doesn't mean they should be condemned to a life of celibacy.
I love Family Guy. I know this sounds stupid, but even though they say things that would be highly offensive in the real world and in normal conversation, the fact that it's a cartoon and they make fun of every single type of person takes the offense out of it. They've made fun of Jews, Muslims, black people, Irish people, Latino people, British people, people who live in the south, disabled people, people with eating disorders, fat people, gays, lesbians, old people, conservatives, liberals....basically everybody. There's basically no taboo for that show.
I like shock value and a little bit of controversy, but this is an example of taking it too far.
This is ironic, considering how a lot of Gaga fans are so quick to diss other female artists for allegedly 'copying' Lady Gaga whenever the artist wears something sexy or edgy. They loved attacking Christina Aguilera and Katy Perry. "Oh, blonde Christina Aguilera is wearing lots of make-up and a pantsless bodysuit, so she MUST be copying Lady Gaga!" (idiots. Christina has been doing the pantsless thing since 2001 and 2002, long before anyone had ever heard of Gaga) "Oh! Katy Perry is wearing something weird, so she MUST be copying Lady Gaga!" And now- not for the first time- Lady Gaga is being accused of 'copying.' Newsflash: fashion-wise, Lady Gaga has 'copied' Madonna, Cher, and Grace Jones many times. So those of you Gaga fans who hate on Christina Aguilera and Katy Perry for 'copying' are hypocrites.
It shouldn't have been banned to begin with. This America and it's 2012. I never support any book being banned from libraries because it's unnecessary censorship. It contains overt sexuality. So what? Millions of other books allowed in libraries contain overt sexuality, among other things. Most libraries carry a lot of V.C. Andrews books, even in the teen section. Some of her books contain incest and rape.
It should never have been banned to begin with. This is America and it's 2012. I never support libraries banning books, because it's a form of unnecessary censorship.

Injuries haven't derailed defending champ Canon-McMillan
TribLIVE Sports Videos
After winning the WPIAL Class AAAA championship last season, the Canon-McMillan softball team set a standard.
The top-ranked Big Macs have lost three key players to injuries of varying degrees — but they keep winning at a pace that would make Mike Tomlin proud.
Despite losing shortstop Veronica Rothka, catcher Giorgiana Zeremenko and infielder/catcher Abby McCartney, Canon-McMillan is 11-1 overall and 10-0 in Section 4-AAAA heading into a scheduled game Thursday at Bethel Park.
"It's just been everyone stepping up," pitcher Alayna Astuto said. "It's a different person every game. If we know someone's down, we know we'll make up for it, making extra effort. We've had a lot of people do their part in the place of some pretty good players: It's been a total team effort."
Rothka was a starter since her freshman year but was lost for the season with a knee injury. Zeremenko has yet to play this season because of an upper-body injury — although coach Michelle Moeller said she is expected to return before the end of the season.
McCartney was injured when she was hit by a pitch during Monday's 2-0 win over Mt. Lebanon.
Moeller said X-rays were negative, and she was hopeful McCartney would not miss too much time.
Either way, these Big Macs have persevered and kept their place among the WPIAL elite. Canon-McMillan has the best overall record and best section record among Class AAAA teams.
"I'm really proud of the way they've stepped up in the face of a lot of different adverse situations since the beginning of the season," Moeller said.
Then again, similar to the adage, "Momentum is only as good as the next day's starting pitcher," a team's ability to overcome adversity is made much easier when it has strong pitching.
Canon-McMillan is blessed with not one but two strong arms.
Senior Kayla Kiger has been starting games at pitcher for the Big Macs since she was a freshman, and Astuto was the primary pitcher for the WPIAL championship team last season.
Each has contributed on the mound for a team that has allowed a total of 11 runs in the 11 games it has won.
"Having both of them, I've been so spoiled," Moeller said. "That's two senior pitchers who have been such good role models. They both get great grades, and they work together so well. They've been working together since they were young. I can't say enough about either one of them. They've meant so much to the team."
Astuto will play at Waynesburg University next season while majoring in nursing. She had a 1.05 ERA and 46 strikeouts in 53 innings through Monday's game, Moeller said. Astuto largely relies on the natural movement on her pitches.
"I've had to work on some of my pitches, but for some of them the movement has come naturally since I was younger," Astuto said.
First baseman Maddie Engel and infielder Linda Rush are other four-year starters in the Big Macs' lineup, and juniors Ally Bellaire and Olivia Lorusso are three-year starters.
"With the experience this group has, the chemistry is definitely there," Moeller said. "It's a good group of kids that gets along well together. (Monday's) game, when they took Abby out to get X-rays, the older ones were saying to the younger kids who didn't have the same experience, 'Just take care of what you're supposed to take care of.'
"With experience comes leadership — and that's why this team can overcome anything."

Shopping for Summer Workwear
Summer is almost here, and with it come summer internships and all their sartorial quandaries. After multiple semesters of wearing whatever-the-hell-I-want and whatever-the-hell-is-clean, it's a little bit distressing to think (even half-heartedly) about uniforms, dress codes, those doom-filled words: "work-appropriate." I guess you could say I'm freaking out, just a little. Looking at my closet, I spy a few pieces that I could spin as office ready… but that's assuming my office is okay with skinny chinos, citrus hues and denim all over.
To hedge my bets, I'm on the consumerist prowl, hoping to round out my summer wardrobe with a few WORKable finds. My objective: find versatile, work-appropriate pieces that I can still wear in my everyday life.
Let's take it from the top:
#1: The Blazer
Let's be real, the electric blue tailoring I love so dearly will not fly for cubicle life, yet i refuse to drown myself in the charcoal meets beige meets blah flood of corporate suiting. Instead, I'm looking for a slim-fit blazer in navy, light gray or brown that can breathe in the summertime swelter. Heavy wool blends and overly peaked lapels need not apply.
From top: Blazers by Uniqlo, APC and All Saints
#2: Trousers
Suiting pants aren't really my thing. The colors are generally boring, not to mention they fit awkwardly on my gangly frame. Whenever I can get away with wearing chinos or jeans, I go for it. However, to add the proper polish to my 9-5 getup, I am willing to try some trousers on for size… provided that they look like the following options:
From Top: Pants by J. Crew, Marc Jacobs and Topman
#3: Finishing Touches
Sadly, my usual mix of accessories (bead bracelets, broken watches, malachite pendants and croc cuffs) may be a bit much for working life. I'm hoping to tone down my look but still have fun with those little details this summer…

Why do batteries explode?
Modern society is overwhelmingly dependent on power consumption, and a lot of that power is being consumed on-the-go. Rechargeable batteries based on lithium-ion technology have been a big part of the mobile revolution, and they're increasingly showing up in cars and even airplanes. So that means they must be completely safe, right? Actually the Boeing 787 proves that Li-ion batteries still blow up on occasion, as did an incident this week when a Samsung Galaxy Note battery caught fire in a man's pocket. Why haven't we solved the problem?
Battery technology has been pushed over the years, but no incredible breakthroughs have come along. Instead, we see the same rechargeable cells packaged differently, shrunken down, and packed in more tightly. This makes more energy-dense batteries, but when something goes wrong it's a much bigger deal.
A defective or improperly-handled battery can overheat, causing the cells to break open and result in a chain reaction of other cells rupturing. This is called thermal runaway, and it's the cause of most battery explosions and, less dramatically, battery swelling. The defect can be a simple short circuit, or a design defect that improperly insulates individual cells from the heat of neighbors. That's what causes cell phones and laptops to catch fire on rare occasions.
Any Li-ion battery has the potential to go up in flames, and that's a product of its chemistry. Lithium is used in batteries as an anode because it has extremely high electrochemical potential. That is, lithium-ion moving to the electrode produces a lot of energy. Lithium's low atomic weight is also useful in reducing the mass of batteries.
While lithium is great for making high-capacity batteries, these same properties make it highly reactive and more prone to thermal runaway. Lithium is an Alkali Metal along with sodium, potassium, and the rest of the first group of the periodic table. Not only are these elements highly flammable, but they are so reactive that tossing a few grams into water will cause an explosion. So when a Li-ion battery does heat up, the lithium in it can accelerate the breakdown of other cells.
There is always the possibility that the occasional battery is going to have a manufacturing defect, or that it will be damaged, leading to a failure. However, some folks are starting to chime in on the situation with the Boeing 787. The plane has been grounded after two battery fires in recent weeks. Boeing says the design is sound, but maybe there is something more serious going on.
Elon Musk, the man behind SpaceX and Tesla Motors, is talking about the differences between his Li-ion car batteries and the ones used in the 787. Whereas the Tesla battery has thousands of small cells insulated from each other to prevent thermal runaway, the 787 has batteries with eight large cells. Because these cells get warmer, they are more likely to rupture and release a lot of energy when they do. Now that Musk has broken the ice, others have agreed, including an engineering professor at MIT.
So what can we take away from all this? Batteries are still very hard to engineer. Even Boeing might have made some mistakes, and it has more engineers than you can shake a slide rule at. The thing you're carrying in your pocket could potentially catch fire, but it isn't likely. There has to be damage or a serious manufacturing defect to turn your phone into a bomb. Just relax, and maybe check back on this 787 situation before your next flight.

Grown for its red, orange, or yellow, rounded, oblong, or pear-shaped fruits that come in a variety of sizes. The plant is a frost-tender perennial that is grown as an annual. The determinate types are compact and bushier, from 12-24 inches tall. They stop growing and producing fruit when they reach their inherent size. The indeterminate types are vines that will keep growing and producing fruit until they are killed by frost. The fruit is best picked when red and juicy, however, they may be picked green and allowed to ripen indoors. Harvest regularly to keep the vine producing fruit
Superior Germination Through Superior SciencePark Seed offers some of the highest-quality vegetable and flower seeds available in the industry, and there are a number of reasons for this.
First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.
Superior Standards - University InspectedTo make sure we are providing the best seed product possible and that our customers will get the highest number of seedlings from every packet, we conduct our own germination testing and have quality-control measures in every stage of our seed-handling operation. We hold ourselves to standards that are at or above federal and state standards, including testing specific crops more frequently than recommended by federal guidelines. And in order to maintain our organic certification, we welcome Clemson University to inspect us annually to make sure our organic seeds, which are stored and processed separately, are being handled properly.
Hand Packed By Experienced TechniciansPark Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold StandardAnd many of our seeds are packed in our exclusive Fresh-Pak gold foil packets, which are lined to keep moisture out, so the seeds stay fresher for longer. We carefully pack very tiny or fragile seeds in crush-proof vials to ensure safe delivery to your home. Some of the small seeds are also offered as "pellets" (have a clay coating) to make sowing and growing easier. When it comes to the kinds of seeds we offer, we are constantly seeking something new and provide many unique and hard-to-find varieties from all around the world. Our on-staff horticulturists are ready and available to share their expertise to help you with the success of these seeds, so you can grow a beautiful and productive garden!
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.

Brief History of the Molecular & Cellular Biology Program
The Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology is one of the first cross-departmental graduate programs at The University of Iowa. It was founded by John Menninger in 1974, and funded by a National Research Service Award Training Program in Cellular and Molecular Biology from 1975-1992. This initial Program did not admit students or grant degrees. Instead, after their first year of graduate study, students from various departments were chosen and awarded stipends based on merit. Similarly to today, the students and faculty met for a weekly seminar, designed to inform trainees about the variety of research that was of interest to cell and molecular biologists, to give trainees practice in presenting their research to a critical audience, and to provide a social connection for trainees who were working in various departments. In 1992, the Molecular Biology Graduate Program was formalized into a degree-granting PhD program, and in 2005, the program came full circle with a name change and a new NIH training grant in Molecular and Cellular Biology.
Today, the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology still fosters the interdisciplinary efforts of a diverse group of investigators—both faculty and students—with common interests in molecular and cellular biology. Currently the program faculty represent the departments of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Internal Medicine, Microbiology, Molecular Physiology & Biophysics, Neurology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ophthalmology, Pathology, Pediatrics, Pharmacology, Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Science, and Radiation Oncology. The program actively recruits new students with diverse research interests.

Smoking Cessation
An estimated two-thirds of all adults get occasional heartburn. But for some 15 million Americans, including pregnant women and even children, heartburn is a frequent, even daily, ailment. Worse, it's often accompanied by chest and abdominal pain, hoarseness, coughing and difficulty swallowing.
Doctors call this group of chronic symptoms gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. Left untreated, GERD can result in Barrett's esophagus, a chronic inflammation of the esophageal lining that causes cancer in a small percentage of cases.
But the good news is that in nine out of every 10 cases, physicians can treat GERD effectively.
GERD develops in people with a weakened sphincter—the ring of muscle that keeps stomach acid from refluxing back into the food pipe.
Normally, the sphincter stays tightly sealed; when it leaks, we get heartburn. In GERD, the sphincter becomes weak and stomach acid begins to continually scald and damage the tender esophageal lining.
Experts don't fully understand what causes reflux disease. Some people with GERD don't have heartburn, for example—though it's the disease's hallmark.
People with a hiatal hernia, in which the upper part of the stomach extends above the diaphragm, have a higher risk of developing GERD. Other likely culprits include:
Thankfully, many GERD cases respond to lifestyle changes, medication or both. Typical therapies include:
If you're having frequent heartburn or abdominal pain or have taken antacids for more than two weeks without relief, see your doctor. While there, be sure to list all the prescription and over-the-counter drugs you are taking. Muscle relaxants, pain relievers, hormones or high blood pressure medications can cause or worsen GERD symptoms.
Endoscopic procedures and surgery as a last resort can often improve more difficult cases of GERD and Barrett's esophagus. Doctors can explore the affected area with an endoscope, a miniature camera device that can also take tissue samples. Another test, the barium swallow radiograph, provides an X-ray outline of the esophagus and can detect hiatal hernia and severe inflammation.
The standard surgical procedure, called Nissen fundoplication, wraps excess stomach tissue around the sphincter to strengthen it. Newer procedures place either stitches or tiny cuts on the sphincter, leaving scar tissue that firms and toughens the passageway into the stomach. Lasers are now being used to burn away Barrett's cells so the esophagus can heal.

FCC filing reveals Acer Liquid A1 ready for AT&T
updated 11:40 am EST, Fri December 11, 2009
FCC files show Acer Liquid A1 coming to AT&T?
Acer's first smartphone powered by the Android operating system, the Liquid A1, has recently gone through testing at the FCC, with the documents revealing that it will support AT&T's 850/1,900MHz 3G network. Despite this, there is still no official indication from either from AT&T or Acer about when the Liquid A1 is expected to ship for North American consumption. The FCC filing also reveals the phone will carry the S100 designation as part of its full name.
When the phone does arrive, it will get Qualcomm's 8250 CPU downclocked to 768MHz, as opposed to 1GHz in other handsets. There is also a 3.5-inch touchscreen with 800x480 resolution and an integrated GPS sensor, along with Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi. Users will be able to capture photos thanks to a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus. A standard 3.5mm headset jack allows users to connect their own headphones or headsets.
Pricing remains unknown, though if consistent with other areas is expected to be close to $500 unsubsidized. [via UnwiredView]

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — A Fresno police detective has said he's not guilty of taking a $20,000 bribe from a suspected drug dealer.
KFSN-TV reports that Derik Carson Kumagai, a 40-year-old vice intelligence squad detective in the Fresno Police Department, pleaded not guilty in court to federal charges of conspiracy, bribery and extortion.
Kumagai was arrested Tuesday, and a judge released him from jail after Wednesday's court hearing, saying the detective did not pose a risk of running from the charges. He was required to give up his passport.
Prosecutors accuse Kumagai of accepting the bribe in exchange for making a drug dealer a paid police informant. Kumagai remains on paid leave until his criminal case is resolved.

How come no one has candy for me when I really want candy?!
The querty keyboard is comparatively easier to pronounce as a two-syllable word.

By the way, the placement of the various letters was devised in such a way as to "slow down" the typist! Why? Because the original typewriters of the late 1800's tended to jam too easily, if one attempted to type too quickly. Of course, when IBM invented the "Selectric" typewriter with a typing ball instead of a series of hammers that slid between two thinly spaced walls, the QWERTY configuration was considered antiquated.

There WAS an attempt to redesign the placement of the keyboard, once the non-jamming typewriter was invented. It was called the DVORAK (pronounced dih-VOHR-zshack) configuration. However, generations of typists refused to accept the newer configuration because they were all used to the old QWERTY version.

Hope this helps,

Technically, the modern keyboard is called the Sholes keyboard, named after its inventor. Guy did a crap job, though. "Who cares?" I know, just wanted to throw this up here. Get off me.
He couldn't even put a 'division sign' on it.
And here I thought they called it the "1234567890 keyboard"! O_O
cause its the first line i guess
Because that is the order of the letters on the keyboard.. 😊
its these great mysteries of the universe that give meaning to your life...and you will have to toil through life not knowing the answer. Pondering great questions like this and others like, why is rain wet, will give you purpose.
We read the page from the top left and in other languages i believe the E is in a different place.

Your Questions About Net Books Laptops Mini
Jenny asks…
mini laptop/ net book question!!?
so i want to get a net book/ mini laptop (it has to be under 600$) but i want it just to download music off of torent… and update my itouch. then!! i wanted to get an external hard drive with about 350 GB'S so that i can store my music on the external hardrive because i know net books tend to lag when there's too much stuff on it…
1) will this work if i use the external hard drive as my main hard drive?
2) can i download torrent onto a mini netbook?
3) any mini/ netbook suggestions under 600$?
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) acer or msi, those are the best brands, just find one that fits you. They're 350$ tops.
Donna asks…
Which net book/mini laptop is best?
I am wanting to buy a net book because my laptop is huge and heavy and right now, it won't shut because the hinge is broken. I was just going to go to Target to buy an accer net book, but I was on the fry's website and saw the hp mini. It is more expensive, but it is probably better quality. Please give me any advise on what I should purchase if you have had experience with these. THanks
Actually all of them are pretty good right now so you will probably like which ever one you pick. There are some design flaws however with Acer and HP that I think anyone that buys one of their netbooks should know:
- Acer's weakness is flimsy hinges in their design. If you drop one of their netbooks, don't be surprised if the hinges become loose, especially if it's open when it falls.
- HP's weakness is a flimsy top cover for the laptop screen in their design. Make sure you don't accidentally sit on it or knock anything against it, as you may end up having to replace the screen.
Honestly the toughest netbook design I've seen recently has been on MSI's line of Wind netbooks.
Sharon asks…
I work for the State of California, and with the current budget crisis, I did extensive research into netbooks to save costs. My opinion is that the MSI Wind is best. Here's a list of them that you can buy from Newegg.com: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=50001312%2040000772&Description=msi%20wind&name=Netbooks
Laura asks…
How long does mini net book laptop last?
Average life is up to 15 yrs. But these work perfect till 10 yrs. Only.
But you can manage for more 5 yrs.
Robert asks…
What kind of computer should I get laptop or mini net book?
Well I'm getting a lap or a net book depending what I want for my b-day so any one have any suggejetions
What is most important to you batt life or functionality – a netbook is a small web-browsing, paperwriting somewhat slow machine they are usually about 100-200 cheaper than a notebook – most netbooks do not have a dvd drive either. The keyboard and screen are pretty small, the hard drive and ram are less too as well as a less powerful cpu all this to save on batt life so they get like 6-10hrs of batt life as opposed to the 3 i get from my lappy.

Wyoming offers sharp contrasts in its weather. You may hike for weeks, experiencing only an occasional cooling rain. Or, particularly in the mountains, you may encounter fog and rain so heavy you can only see a few feet in front of you for days. At the higher elevations, snow and hail can occur at any time of the year. At both high and low elevations, be prepared for electrical storms.
Thru-hiking the CDT in Wyoming is complicated by the fact that it begins in the mountains, drops to near desert conditions in the basin, and then climbs to the tundra. Hiking south to north, you begin near an elevation of 10,000 feet in the Sierra Madre. The trail loses 3,500 feet by the time it reaches Rawlins on the southern fringe of the Great Divide Basin. From there it winds its way north across the hot, dry basin, then climbs through the forested foothills and on to the tundra of the Wind River Range. The high point of 11,120 feet above sea level is reached among these rugged peaks. The CDT drops out of the clouds just south of Green River Lakes, and spends its last few hundred miles somewhere between 7,500 and 9,000 feet in the Teton Wilderness and on the high plains of Yellowstone. Over this wide variance in altitude, annual precipitation ranges from an average of less than 8 inches at places in the Basin to over 40 inches in the Wind River Range. To this diversity in altitude, add a 4-degree change in latitude across the state.
Lower elevations, below 8,000 feet, will be almost free of snow by late May, but back roads can still be rough and muddy, occasionally blocked by deep, slow melting snowdrifts. Sudden and paralyzing spring blizzards can occur into June. The first two weeks of June are a good time to be in the Great Divide Basin. The flowers bloom early at this elevation. By mid-summer they are dry, thin shadows of themselves, while their alpine cousins are in full bloom. Wildlife is active in May and June also, their attention focused on mating, home building, and rearing their young. There is usually still plenty of water available from runoff. Be prepared for storms at any time of the year. Shelter from the elements is important, but a deep rut in the road or a patch of sagebrush may be all that's available.
The higher elevations are not clear of snow until early or mid July, and expect it to be later than earlier. The tundra above 10,500 feet retains large patches of snow throughout the summer. Stream crossings can be difficult if not impossible until early August. Late summer above 8,000 feet is wonderful, as the crowded trailheads and overused trails will attest. The days are long and warm and it rains less often. You may experience long stretches of dry, warm days. Be vigilant and always stay prepared for rain or snow.

November 25, 2015
A Clay County gas station owner finds a unique solution to changing her gas prices sign twice a day.
We show you how she took matters into her own hands and what some customers are saying about it.
Drivers beware: if you need to fill up at Lando's in Fall Rock it's going to cost you an arm and a leg, and nine tenths of a cent.
"The main reason why I changed it is because I hate changing the sign every day," Melanda Hacker said.
"We just went to the store and got plexi-glass, and I taped it off and spray painted it," Hacker said.
Customers we talked to don't mind not knowing the exact price.
It's a welcome laugh for those who see no end to rising prices.
"Especially, people like me, you know, that work at restaurant jobs, minimum wage, making about 5-85 an hour. It makes it rough just trying to get back and forth to work nowadays," Natoshia Hibbard said.
"It's real hard on people and you can see it, you can see it. I mean they come in and get four dollars, just to get where they're going and back," Hacker said.
Store owner Melanda Hacker says she's got to keep the comedy fresh.
"If it goes up to four dollars we were thinking about putting 'first born' on it," Hacker said.
Natoshia Hibbard's first child is due in August… she hopes it won't come to that.
Melanda Hacker says many drivers stop to take pictures of her sign.

BlackBerry invitations to three events hint at Passport launch
updated 01:07 pm EDT, Tue September 2, 2014
BBOS addition BlackBerry Blend may appear alongside Passport at events
BlackBerry has sent out invitations to events held in Toronto, London, and Dubai on the 24th of September. The invite offers little in the way of clues as to what the three events will involve, but the use of a map and a plane symbol suggests the manufacturer will be formally launching the Passport smartphone, while rumors claim it could potentially include a software update allowing for the usage of BlackBerry Messenger from a desktop rather than a smartphone.
Earlier leaks claim the BlackBerry Passport has a 4.5-inch display with an unusual 1440x1440 resolution, protected by Gorilla Glass. Inside is said to be a quad-core Snapdragon clocked at 2.2GHz with an Adreno 330 GPU, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and a hot-swappable microSD slot for storage expansion. On the back is claimed to be a 13-megapixel camera with a five-element f2.0 lens and 5x digital zoom, with the front 2-megapixel version also said to have a 3x digital zoom, while the uptime for the 3,450mAh non-removable battery is said to extend to 19 hours from an eight-hour charge.
BlackBerry Passport
According to BBIN, BlackBerry Blend will be making an appearance as part of an upcoming BlackBerry OS 10.3 update. The software allegedly works in tandem with desktop and mobile apps to let the account holder read and respond to messages and notifications, access BBM groups and channels, and read SMS messages on the associated BlackBerry device. Calendar functions and file transfers between the BlackBerry smartphone and another device can also be performed through Blend, claims the report, with enterprise users running BES10 able to access the corporate Intranet privately via a secure connection.
If BlackBerry Blend is real, it will apparently require a computer running OS X 10.7 or Windows 7 at minimum, with tablets running iOS 6.0 or Android 4.4. Despite the ability to access and manage BBM conversations, it will still require a BlackBerry device running BBOS 10.3 in order to function, rather than allowing direct access to a BBM account from a desktop or accessing the app version on another brand of device.

Budweiser creates cups that automatically friends people via toasts
Budweiser has created glasses that can make people friends on Facebook. The "Buddy Cup" is loaded with a chip that, when it detects two glasses have clinked together in a toast, automatically makes the two toast participants friends on the social network, writes CNET. A QR code on the bottom of each cup is scanned by the drinker as they receive it, linking their Facebook account to the chip inside the cup. Budweiser's Brazilian team hopes to use the cups in future promotional events.
