Not sure what is damaged without a physical diagosis, but there can be several things that can be damaged, but first check all the fuses and replace if nec. Have someone crank the engine over while you check for spark. Also can you hear the fuel pump running while cranking? Its located up front under the fuel tank. The engine control unit may have been damaged and that will keep it from starting. Also the alternator can be damaged but you won't know that until you get it running and check the charging system.

Tuesday's Biotech Watch List - Alliqua, BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Trovagene, Delcath Systems, Array BioPharma PR Newswire CORAL SPRINGS, Florida, July 23, 2013 CORAL SPRINGS, Florida, July 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FinancialNewsMedia.com issues market news updates for today's active biotech companies: Alliqua, Inc. (OTCQB: ALQA), BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: BCRX), Trovagene, Inc. (NASDAQ: TROV), Delcath Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCTH) and Array BioPharma Inc. (NASDAQ: ARRY) Alliqua, Inc. (OTCQB: ALQA) Headline: Alliqua Initiates Proof-of-Principle Study of Transdermal Lidocaine Hydrogel Patch for Pain Relief. Alliqua, Inc. today announced the initiation of a preclinical proof-of-principle study of an experimental hydrogel patch containing lidocaine. Safety and tolerability of Alliqua's lidocaine hydrogel patches will be explored in an animal model. Further, the pharmacokinetic profile will be analyzed to determine the amount of systemic absorption and local lidocaine concentration in the skin immediately beneath the patch. "The ease of use, stability and compatibility with active ingredients make our hydrogels well suited for the transdermal delivery of a variety of compounds, including pain medications like lidocaine," commented James Sapirstein, chief executive officer of Alliqua Biomedical. "Our lidocaine patch development program is just the first in our effort to build a portfolio of products that leverage our hydrogel platform. We believe success in this proof-of-principle study for our lidocaine patch would increase the likelihood of success with other compounds and greatly enhances our efforts in this area. Beyond lidocaine, the Alliqua Biomedical division plans to explore transdermal delivery of dermatological, oncology, antibiotic and neurology products." To read the entire press release, please go to http://www.financialnewsmedia.com/stock-investing-business-investing-news/featured-news.php?id=288 FNM Market News: Drug Delivery Technology Market - The $82 billion U.S. drug delivery market is showing no signs of saturation, with major patent expiries, generic competition, tightening Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, and emerging drug delivery systems continuing to provide momentum. Among the 15 drug delivery systems surveyed by Frost & Sullivan, physicians prefer topical delivery, either as a transdermal patch or topical gel/cream, and expressed willingness to switch their current mode of therapy to one available in these forms. BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: BCRX) today announced that the randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 1 clinical trial of orally-administered BCX4161 in healthy volunteers successfully met all of its objectives. The safety, tolerability, drug exposure and on-target kallikrein inhibition results of this Phase 1 trial strongly support advancing the development program into a Phase 2a study in hereditary angioedema (HAE) patients. Overall, 87 healthy volunteers completed the study; 30 received a single dose of BCX4161 from 50 mg up to 1000 mg, 40 subjects received 100 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg, or 800 mg BCX4161 every eight hours for seven days, and 17 received a placebo. Trovagene, Inc. (NASDAQ: TROV) announces that results emerging from ongoing clinical studies have confirmed the broad applicability of Trovagene technology across a variety of cancer types, and the successful development of a molecular diagnostic test capable of detecting and quantifying oncogene mutations from a simple urine specimen. The ability to regularly detect and monitor the results of cancer treatment through a non-invasive, systemic sample could significantly help patients who require therapy for recurrent or metastatic cancer. Delcath Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCTH) today announced that it will host a conference call and webcast on Tuesday, August 6, 2013 at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss its financial results for the second quarter of 2013 ended June 30, 2013, and provide an update on recent corporate progress.

I was introduced to tennis when I was 7 years old, but did not start competing until I was 11. In my tennis career, I have played over 600 USTA matches, 135 tournaments and 65 high school matches. I have participated on the USTA Zonal and Arkansas Southern Junior Cup teams. I was named Team Arkansas MVP for 2014. My high school career record was 53-12 at Hot Springs Lakeside. Throughout my junior tennis career, I have maintained a high ranking. Currently, I am #1 in Arkansas, top 50 in the USTA Southern Section, and ranked top 400 nationally.
Having won the USTA Arkansas Most Improved Player award in 2011, it is truly an honor and a dream come true to be the 2014 Herschel Friday Most Outstanding Junior Award winner.
I would like to thank the Arkansas Tennis Association, my many coaches and especially my parents, James and Patti, for all of their support in pursuing my goals. I plan to continue playing tennis in college and pursue a degree in International Business with a minor in Spanish.
Emily Metcalf
Tennis became a fascination at a very young age for me. At the young age of 11, I dreamt of playing college tennis. That dream came true when I signed for Michigan State University in front of friends and supporters at Valley View High School this fall. My school tennis activities led to 4 State Singles Championships and 2 team titles. The past two years I was the Overall State Tournament Champion and named the All-Arkansas Preps Outstanding Female Tennis Player of the Year. I have also been successful in USTA play. One of my favorite experiences was being a member of Team Arkansas in Southern Junior Cup. My thanks go to every single person in my family, especially my parents and grandparents, for their endless amount of support. I can't imagine trying to put up with me when I lose. You all have done that for 10 years. Also, thanks to Alan Brogan and my Aunt Sharon Phillips for teaching me to love the game. Thank you Shashank Kulkarni, Jordan Isom, and Nicholas Zogaj for being my hitting partners and teaching me so much about the game. I want to give a special thanks to my coach, Alex Rivas. He told me in the beginning it was going to be a process. Thank you for putting up with me for the past 7 years and being one of my best friends.
Robert Terry
For fun I started playing Junior Team Tennis at the age of 12. After a couple of years of JTT, I decided to stop playing other sports and focus on tennis. To improve my skills and become more competitive, I began attending Ozark Tennis Academy (OTA). I began to see a big difference in my skills after increasing my court time and incorporating Cross Fit into my workouts this past spring. My ranking in Arkansas Boys 16s has climbed from #268 at the end of 2013 to #27 as of November 5, 2014. I am honored to receive the Jay Freeman Most Improved Player Award this year from the Arkansas Tennis Association (ATA). Thanks to the ATA for recognizing and encouraging junior players in Arkansas. I would like to thank my coaches at OTA, Jared and Christy Ward, and Beau Basham. I would also like to thank the Bentonville High School coaches. Thank you to my best friend and brother, Doug, for always being by my side on and off the court. Most importantly, thanks to my parents for their constant support and encouragement. I feel very blessed for the opportunities I have been given and am excited to continue improving my game in the years to come.
Cydney Rogers
My tennis journey began when I was 7 years old while watching a local tennis match that my mom was playing. My journey has included clinics, private lessons, camps, and numerous tournaments across the South. Because of great coaches like Alex Rivas and Gary Jones, I have been able to improve my tennis game as well as develop a true love for the game. In January 2013, my 10 and under USTA Southern ranking started at 203 and improved to 2nd just before the Southern Closed in 2014. My USTA Arkansas ranking improved from 15th to 1st in 10 and under from Jan 2013 to June 2014. The highlight of my tennis career has been winning the Arkansas State Junior Closed for 10s and developing some amazing friendships with girls all over the South. I would like to thank everyone who nominated me for this award. The Arkansas Tennis Association, who has been more than supportive of my tennis journey. Most importantly, I would like to thank my parents who have sacrificed their time, money, and effort to support me and my tennis dreams! A special thank you goes to Emily Metcalf for her instruction, support, and for being a role model on and off the court.
I would first like to say thank you to the Awards Committee who selected me for the Sportsmanship Award. I am very grateful and blessed to have received this award. I would also like to thank Manuel Cervantes, for teaching me all I know about the game, from sportsmanlike conduct to technicality and strategy. I would also like to thank Matthew Walters for re-engaging me into the sport after some tough losses in tournaments that I had played. He really helped me get back on my feet, and put me on the right track for success. I would like to thank my parents, for their love and support as I went through my roller coaster ride of the game, but believing in me throughout my career. Achievements that I had made were mostly through the last few years, such as going to Southern's twice, once for 16s and the other for 18s. I was extremely excited and grateful for those few weeks I got to play with some of the top players in the south! I think a major achievement was just the opportunity to play the game and travel the state and south. Just being fortunate enough to play is awesome.
Shelby began playing competitive tennis at age 10. She was in the top 80's in USTA Southern 14's Rankings this past year. This past July, she participated in Southern Zonals and won the Sportsmanship Award two out of the four days of the tournament. This fall, as a freshman participating on Episcopal Collegiate School's tennis team, she won the first place singles title in both 3A District and State Tournaments. Shelby was also named to the 3A All Conference team in addition to the Arkansas Democrat Gazette All Prep Team. Shelby dedicated her state title to her training partner and friend, Andrew Walls, who was in the hospital at the time.
It is truly an honor to receive the Dr. Ted Bailey Sportsmanship Award, and she would like to thank the Arkansas Tennis Association for recognizing good sportsmanship in junior tennis. Shelby would also like to thank Will Campbell, her coach, and her high school coaches, Andrea Barnett and Lindsay Duncan, for their support. Finally, she would like to thank her parents for the opportunity to play tennis and for their love and encouragement.
Thomas began playing tennis at the age of eight and has competed in Junior Team Tennis and USTA tournaments since moving to Greenwood, Arkansas in 2006. He was a member of the 2013 and 2014 Arkansas Junior Team Tennis State 18 Under Intermediate Championship teams and also played on the varsity team for Greenwood High School for three years. He was named AAA All State in 2012 and 2013. He has been an active volunteer in various programs through the Western Arkansas Tennis Association. Thomas would like to thank the Women's Tennis Association of Little Rock for this scholarship as it will assist him in pursuing his goal of obtaining a degree in Economics and continue to allow him to give back to the tennis community.
Without tennis in my life, the last twelve years would have been very different. Initially, tennis helped me to cope with the loss of my mother, but now looking back, I wouldn't have the friends, involvement in the community or ambition that I have today. Tennis has taught me endurance, concentration, perseverance, self discipline, and self respect. It has taught me to prioritize my time and tennis has taught me to win and lose with dignity. As a result of my involvement in tennis, I have met people from around the world and have been able to use my love of tennis to benefit others. Thank you Coach Cervantes for keeping me motivated, listening and not giving up on me. A special thanks to JD Hall, Director of Tennis at Pinnacle Country Club for without his support and encouragement the tennis relay fundraiser would not have gotten off the ground. I have been President of NHS and Captain of my high school tennis team during both my junior and senior years. My goals are to achieve an MBA and minor in Business Law and Broadcast Journalism.
Thank you to: Our staff professionals Andrew Atkinson, Erica Rogers and London Lundstrom. None of our success would have happened without your belief in what we do and your dedication to our players.
Whitney Ewersmann for your commitment to Junior Team Tennis and the constant help you supplied to help build our program. Chris Stuart for his support and work to expand the game and help launch our program in Fayetteville. Arkansas is lucky to have you and I cannot say thank you enough for what you do.
Brittany Murphy for the marketing tools and help. Cindy, Paula, Deanna, Maureen and everyone at the ATA. Alan Spann at Fayetteville Parks and Recreation for working so closely with us to help build what we have at Wilson Park. Wayne Stehlik, Britt James and Cindy Flores for allowing us to build a program in Springdale.
Taylor Dodds for being such a great mentor. Bill Maxwell for the advice and guidance. Melissa Kelly and WATA for giving me the opportunity at Ben Geren to build my dream program.
Walter and Terri Cash, Katie and Payton Smith for the love and encouragement over all the years. Finally, all my players and parents. Every day I wake up doing what I love with people I care about thanks to you.
Thank you awards committee for this recognition. It means the world to me.
Jennifer hit the ground running after receiving her certification in November of 2012. She has since roved or chaired during 11 ITA matches in Arkansas and called lines at 4 professional Futures and Challengers from Florida to California. She was selected to participate in the Junior Orange Bowl Chair Academy last December where she had the opportunity to chair at the ITF Jr. Event.
In 2014, Jennifer was selected to work 9 days during the main draw at the US Open in New York. She was also a line umpire for the Connecticut Open WTA. Although only a certified umpire for 2 years, Jennifer has established herself as an up and coming national umpire. She is ITA, line umpire and referee certified.
Jennifer would like to thank her mentors Mike Standrod and John Wong (California), her officiating supporters Joe Buys (Utah), Aimee Johnson (Louisiana), and Darryl Daoang (Arizona) and her understanding family including her husband, Bryan Slavens, and daughter, Aubrey.
The Files Family of Fort Smith is a wonderful family who not only supports USTA programming but was also very instrumental in the creation of the Arkansas Tennis Specialty License plates.
Through Senator Files' countless efforts, the Bill authorizing the Arkansas Tennis Specialty License plate was passed.
As of September 2014, these plates have been available in DMV offices statewide. The funds raised through the sale of these plates will assist the Arkansas Patrons Foundation in the rehabilitation of tennis courts in communities statewide for many years. This endeavor would not have happened without the efforts and support of Senator Files.
In addition, the Files family has supported USTA programming for both adults and juniors. Michaela has participated in the USTA Adult League programs since 2004. Each of the Files children have been active in both USTA sanctioned tournaments and Junior Team Tennis programs.
Tennis in Bryant, Arkansas, is quickly rising with many thanks to the wonderful employees of Bryant Parks and Recreation. In 2013, there was such a large demand for tennis within the community that Bryant Parks and Recreation decided to invest in resurfacing the city tennis courts at Mills Park. Bryant Parks and Recreation is now running its very own Spring and Fall Junior Team Tennis league with plans for Tennis Apprentice programming this Spring. In 2014, they also held their first annual sanctioned tennis tournament for juniors. "The increased traffic to the city courts has sparked a need to continue investing in our tennis facilities at Mills Park as well as at our local schools. Secondly, there is now an increase in recreational programming offered to our Bryant citizens. Being a lifetime sport, tennis is an important activity that every child should have the opportunity to experience and learn in order to stay active throughout life. Thanks to the popularity in our Bryant Parks Youth Tennis League, we have had many coaches and parents push to begin adult programs starting this Fall" mentions Brandon Griffin, Recreation Superintendent for the City of Bryant.
Barbara Brewer Community Service Award
Paul Seegraves
Paul Seegraves is the Boys' and Girls' Tennis Coach of Piggott High School. I am deeply honored to receive the Barbara Brewer Community Service Award. Barbara Brewer gave many years of her life to the development of tennis. After learning of her passing, it became even more special to me. My wife, Heather, and children, Emilee and Shawn-Hudson, have also worked with me through the years in promoting tennis in our rural community. At a young age, I learned the values of giving from my Christian faith, family, and others close to me. My Dad introduced tennis to me at age 10 in 1976. Fast forward to 1992, I was approached on coaching high school tennis at Piggott High School. Since then, I have been fortunate to be a part of 16 District Championships, 15 District Runner-ups, 1 State Championship, and 2 State Runner-ups combined for both programs. Since the early 2000s, I have provided summer lessons for kids of all ages. I also run a July summer league for players in four divisions ranging from 1st through 12th grade. The last 6 years, I have provided a free tennis clinic in June for students in 1st -4th grade. I am proud that I was able to enroll approximately 25 students aged ten and under for the free USTA membership. I hope I have led by example by showing the importance of giving back to the sport and the community. It is true that it is "better to give than to receive".
From everyone at the TreDay.com Scholarship Project, who puts on this amazing event every year on Labor Day Weekend...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! We are truly humbled and honored to accept this award for the 2nd time in 3 years. The TreDay.com "Labor of Love" Charity Classic has also been selected as the USTA Southern Adult Tournament of the Year!!! (WOW!) The generosity, love, support & recognition from the Arkansas tennis community we have received is just incredible! So, to all the donors, volunteers & especially the players...this one is for YOU! :) Well done!
Everyone involved with the 2014 Southern 16's Closed Championship is humbled and appreciative to accept the award for Arkansas Junior Tournament of the Year. The Southern 16's brought in the best 320 16-year olds in the South to Little Rock for a week of the highest caliber tennis junior tennis can provide. The tournament was fortunate enough to have significant sponsors who were able to provide all players with a free entry fee and two nights free hotel. In addition to that, the tournament provided a one-of-a-kind player tent that was the size of an entire tennis court as well as a first-class player party. The tournament was also able to provide a court-to-official ratio of 2 to 1. Special thanks goes to our tournament committee and all volunteers who made this tournament such a success. A special thank you goes to Stephen LaFrance Jr. for making this vision a reality. The Southern 16's was fortunate enough to also win the 2014 Southern Junior Tournament of the year. We all sincerely appreciate the recognition that the tournament has received and hope to improve on it for 2015.

I'm looking to pick up a bike so I can get some exercise in & get back in shape I'm not a fan of the big heavy mountain bikes so I'm leaning towards a bmx bike. I've done some research but I'm still confused on what to get. Here's my details:
- 36 / 200 lbs
- 6' 1"
- Mostly street use but I would like to be able to take it off road. Off road would consist of mostly dirt service roads through the woods nothing too crazy
- May try to relive youth and try some tricks but nothing too crazy
- A bike big/long enough that I won't be hitting my knees on the handle bars.
- Lightweight
- Looks cool (lol)
- Looking to spend $300-$450 new or used
The only bikes I found so far that I like and I think fits my needs are the 22" Faction bikes. Unfortunately with the exchange rate and shipping costs they are a bit out of my price range.
Any advice you folks can give me is greatly appreciated....

First pictures of Merc's CLA 45 AMGComment on this story
The first pictures of the most menacing version of the new Mercedes-Benz CLA have burst onto the worldwide web ahead of the car's debut at the New York Motor Show next week.
The company hasn't parted with any official information, but it goes without saying that the CLA 45 AMG will share its inner workings with its A-Class sibling.
This means it'll be shunted along by the most powerful series-production four-cylinder engine in the world, a hand-assembled 2-litre direct-injection turbopetrol unit that's credited with 268kW at 6000rpm and 450Nm from 2250rpm.
The engine shifts its potency to all four wheels via a seven-speed DCT dual-clutch gearbox with flappy paddles and three selectable driving modes. Activate the Race Start launch control and the A 45 AMG will allegedly get to 100km/h in just 4.6 seconds - expect the CLA 45 to post similar numbers.
As the pictures portray, the CLA 45 gets an AMG body styling kit and all the necessary interior addenda, while a pretty impressive AMG sports suspension system is also on the cards.
The ordinary CLA models are due to reach South Africa in early November this year; hopefully the AMG will not be much further off.

* President Obama recently authorized a study into whether student loan debt should be dischargeable in bankruptcy. For now, any changes made to the bankruptcy code will likely apply only to private loans, so it looks like many law school graduates won't be declaring bankruptcy any time soon. [Wall Street Journal (sub. req.)]
* As we've mentioned numerous times in the past, the across-the-board drop in law school applications has inspired some law schools to do crazy things like shortening the length of time it takes to get a degree and lowering tuition. Hmm, more law schools should go crazy. [U.S. News & World Report]
* In the wake of much criticism of its plan to eliminate the LSAT for some students to gain admission to Iowa Law, the school's dean offers an explanation: it'll help her school compete to attract students who would otherwise have gone to T14 schools. [The Gazette]
* Even though law schools are in trouble, a legislator in Texas is still lobbying the state to subsidize the creation of a new law school in the Rio Grande Valley because he has a "hard time believing there are no jobs for attorneys out there." [Cleburne Times-Review]

* The news is in, and it seems that Davis Polk's financial numbers were at record highs. The firm's revenue beat the $1 billion mark for the first time ever, and its PPP rose to $3.29 million. No wonder its 2014 bonuses were so awesome! [Am Law Daily]
* Yes, we know that William Mitchell Law and Hamline Law are merging to survive as a result of a quickly disappearing applicant pool. We'd really love to know how many other law schools are considering this as an alternative to closing their doors. [Star Tribune]
* How are Nebraska and Oklahoma, which neighbor Colorado, where marijuana has been legalized, handling the situation? Not well. Their AGs want SCOTUS to rule the weed law in the state where you can get Rocky Mountain High is unconstitutional. [PBS NewsHour]
* Thanks to a recent ABA rule change, schools are beginning to admit students without LSAT scores. One of those schools is Iowa Law (ranked in the top 30 by U.S. News), but those students need to have done really well on other standardized tests. [Daily Iowan]
* "How have I done as a judge today?" "Not bad, but you could do better." Judge John Hurley had a run-in with an 80-year-old criminal defendant who wouldn't stop calling him sweetheart. Flip to the next page to see the entertaining video. [NBC 6 South Florida]

* I was gonna go to class, but then I got high: DU Law is teaching a class about how to sell lots and lots of weed. Just kidding. According to the professor, the class is actually about the legal issues that come up when selling lots and lots of weed. [Cannabist]

Considering A77: advice appreciated
Nov 12, 2011
I'm thinking of buying an A77 with the 16-50 lens. I would the standard zoom to be accompanied by a longer zoom, picking up at or around 50mm and going up to about 200mm, which would ideally be similarly fast and good quality. Trouble is, as far as I can tell Sony makes only slow lenses from 50/55mm up to 200mm+ and I'm also unsure what quality level they offer; alternatively there's a 70mm+ 2.8 but it's FF and therefore big and heavy. What is the view on the two slow 50/55mm-up zooms, and could there be a faster tele zoom on the way for APS-C?

Crime, courts and legal issues in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin
The Docket: Supreme skirmishes and an indicted Kenoshan
Two high-tier political stories lead the state's legal news this morning, with Kenosha's county executive now under federal indictment and campaign skirmishes continuing in the battle for the a seat on the state Supreme Court. Want more? We've got two poisoning trials, a convening of district attorneys over money problems and an outstate embezzler headed to the pen — plus, on a week in which it's welldigger cold, we feature our first courthouse story about a welldigger.
The Docket is our daily summary of Wisconsin court-related news in the Journal Sentinel and elsewhere. Check this space each weekday morning for a quick digest of the state's legal happenings, and send your news tips here.
- The latest victim in the Dennis Troha bribery affair? Kenosha County Executive Allan Kehl, who was indicted Tuesday for bribery of the five-figure variety in exchange for casino support and other matters. From the longest-serving sheriff in Kenosha County history to federal indictee is a hard trip, but all is not lost — Dan Bice's Journal Sentinel column today shows there's life after Troha trouble, even if one is convicted.
- Elsewhere, we've got some scufflin' afoot in the state Supreme Court race (though that's suddenly the political undercard of this Wisconsin campaign season, what with folks named Obama and Clinton coming to town), though the war of words presently is mainly betwixt campaign staffers and third parties. Justice Louis Butler's staff lashed out at the WMC for an ad as the justice spoke about his philosophy in La Crosse (which one radio station WANTS YOU TO READ ABOUT IN ALL CAPS), and challenger Judge Michael Gableman had his own wrangling with the Wisconsin Association for Justice.
- Milwaukee cops killed a man they said pulled a handgun, though they did try CPR after shooting.
- The Grafton woman who drank a substance that turned out to be caustic for $20 it took the stand yesterday and watched videotape of the day she nearly died to testify against the man who gave her the fluid.
- In a different poisoning case, the Journal Sentinel's Jim Stingl offers his overview of the still-going Mark Jensen murder trial.
- Several counties' DAs clustered in Waukesha yesterday to ask for state funding to save more than 20 prosecutor jobs they say federal cuts will end.
- A Westby banker who did some doublewide-size embezzling to prop up his failing trailer-home business is headed for the federal government's version of temporary housing for 27 months.
- The Wisconsin State Journal's editorializers came out against the proposed CCAP redactions.
- There's a profile of state fraud-protection specialist Glen Loyd in The Capital Times.
- And finally, justice is even colder than the temperature for a welldigger whose settlement with the state AG calls for a $100,000 fine and changes to 840 wells.
