TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies Launches New AssayMAP Peptide Sample-Prep Solution Solution Offers Unprecedented Precision and Throughput of Sample Preparation for Mass Spec Analysis Business Wire SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- August 26, 2013 Agilent Technologies Inc.

The Agilent AssayMAP peptide sample-prep solution offers automated protein digestion, peptide cleanu ... The Agilent AssayMAP peptide sample-prep solution offers automated protein digestion, peptide cleanup and fractionation in preparation for mass-spectrometry analysis. (Photo: Business Wire) As more scientists adopt LC/MS analysis for biomarker discovery, the bottleneck shifts to sample preparation. As these types of studies involve much larger numbers of samples, traditional manual methods are proving untenable in terms of hands-on time and unreliable in terms of reproducibility. "Using the combination of extremely consistent, parallelized digestion with automated reverse-phase cleanup via AssayMAP, at a scale appropriate for ultrasensitive proteomics applications, has enabled us to contemplate collaborative studies of previously unheard-of scales and throughput," said Jacob Jaffe, Ph.D., assistant director of proteomics platforms at the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Mass. "The AssayMAP peptide sample-preparation solution is one of the ways Agilent is addressing the need for high-throughput, reproducible sample-preparation methods in front of precision analytical instruments," said Kathleen Shelton, senior director of automation marketing at Agilent. "Agilent's unique ability to deliver high-quality solutions for automating sample preparation through analysis enables scientists to maximize workflow productivity and be more successful." AssayMAP helps address the bottleneck created with traditional sample preparation for mass-spec analysis and enables unprecedented precision and throughput. This easy-to-use solution includes validated automation protocols driven through intuitive software, the AssayMAP Bravo liquid-handling instrument, and a suite of AssayMAP cartridges optimized for peptide cleanup and fractionation. The AssayMAP peptide sample-prep solution makes large campaigns possible for mass-spec analysis, leveraging the strength of this analytical method to unambiguously identify peptides.

Katharine McPhee isn't where she thought she'd be in 2013 -- because where she ended up is so much better!
The "Smash" star appears on the February cover of Lucky wearing a vibrant Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti ensemble and Christian Louboutin heels. In the accompanying interview, McPhee, 28, explains why she hasn't started a family with her husband of nearly five years, Nick Cokas, 46.
"I once thought that by now I'd have lots of children, but actually I'm really enjoying being able to go from point A to point B and the only worry I have is have my dogs been walked," the "American Idol" runner-up says. "I'm selfish right now, but that's how and where I should be. The thing is, work is the thing I love the most."
Children may not be on the horizon for a long time, McPhee adds. "In five years, I'd love to have done a play and a few movies, and of course I know 'Smash' keeps going."

McPhee is, after all, still adjusting to life in the Big Apple. "I don't want to sound ungrateful, but I hated living in New York for the first six months," the former L.A.-based star admits. Over time, the "Over It" singer learned to love city living. "I couldn't really put my finger on it. There's so much diversity on the streets here," she says of Manhattan's varied culture. "You get to leave work behind when you leave; not everyone is an actor."

Even so, performing will always be McPhee's first love. "When you're on a show like ['Smash'], one that requires so much singing, you have to be really protective of your instrument," she tells Lucky. "You don't get to just, like, go out and party all night."

RIO DE JANEIRO | It's the day of the last World Cup finale in Brazil. Pele is nine years old. Back then, he's just Edson Arantes do Nascimento.
Edson has been playing outside. He rushes into his house and notices his father is crying. Brazil has just lost to Uruguay at its sacred Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. The nation has been thrown into mourning.
"Eight years later in the World Cup in Sweden I saw my father cry again but with happiness because we won the World Cup," Pele said on Saturday, the eve of the final's return after 64 years to the Maracana.
PRETORIA, South Africa | Oscar Pistorius broke down in sobs and howls while testifying at his murder trial Tuesday, forcing the court to adjourn as the star athlete was describing the moments he said he first realized he had shot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp through a toilet door in his home.
"I sat over Reeva and I cried," Pistorius said, telling how he broke open the stall door in his bathroom last year to discover his mortally wounded girlfriend slumped over in the cubicle. "I don't know how long I was there for."
PRETORIA, South Africa — Oscar Pistorius was indicted Monday on a charge of murdering his girlfriend, and prosecutors said witnesses heard a woman screaming before the sound of fatal gunshots fired by the double-amputee Olympian in the early hours of Valentine's Day.
Pistorius, who was in court for the indictment and wept before proceedings began, also will face a charge of illegal possession of ammunition when he goes on trial March 3 in a court in the South African capital, Pretoria.
JOHANNESBURG — A bearded and much skinnier Oscar Pistorius was "overcome with emotion" as he pulled on his carbon fiber running blades for his first track training since the killing of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, his agent said.
With a short beard and a blue hooded Nike sports top, the lean-looking double-amputee Olympian did some light jogging at his first formal session in around five months on Thursday. He then described his return to a regular track routine for the first time since he fatally shot Steenkamp at his home on Feb. 14 as "bittersweet" to his agent, Peet van Zyl.
LONDON — Bans for nine track and field athletes were announced in the immediate lead-up to the Olympics on Wednesday as anti-doping officials promised the London Games would be the "most tested" ever and two new procedures would be used.
The IAAF, the governing body for athletics, said that six of the nine athletes had been caught through the athlete biological passport scheme, which will be used at the Olympics for the first time this year.
The other three positive doping results were retested samples from last year's world championships at Daegu, South Korea.
GEMONA, Italy — Even when he's looking at photos of his bleeding and blistered leg stumps, Oscar Pistorius smiles.
And with his Olympic debut approaching, it's easy to understand why.
Pistorius, whose legs were amputated below the knee when he was a baby, is set to make history by running — yes, running — in the London Olympics. He will be the first double-amputee athlete to compete at the Olympics, and his journey has been long and rife with hurdles.
LONDON — Is manmade material superior to muscle? Are those blades better than real legs?
Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee runner, is taking the issue of disabled vs. able-bodied competition into new territory as he prepares for the London Olympics.
His inclusion on South Africa's team clears the way for him to become the first amputee runner to compete in the Olympics. And because it's the sporting world's biggest stage, his participation is likely to fire up the long-running debate over whether his flexible, carbon-fiber blades give him an unfair advantage.

Authorities say an 80-year-old woman who took over the controls of a small plane after her husband lost consciousness handled a difficult situation successfully by landing the Cessna in northeastern Wisconsin with help from a local pilot.
Door County Sheriff Terry Vogel said the aircraft reported trouble about 5 p.m. Monday near Sturgeon Bay. Vogel says the woman had taken the controls, but didn't know much about flying the twin-engine plane. Then one of the engines ran out of fuel.
A local pilot was sent up in another plane to determine the Cessna's speed and give landing instructions. Vogel says it took a lot to for the woman to collect her thoughts and land the plane with her unconscious husband beside her. He was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Don't like your final grade? Then sue. This student did - Business on NBCNews.com
Not a good precedent to set here. Opens up a huge can of worms for people pleading that school is discriminating against them because it treats smart hard-working individuals more favorably than lazy dumb ones
She may have a case. A lot depends on what she was doing in the class, but to give someone 0/25 for class participation when they attended every class and participated is risky on school's part. Sounds like the prof covered her tail by sending a warning letter.
That being said, this should have been dealt with immediately, within the school, and never had the chance to even get into the legal system... Also, I'm of the strong opinion that if she was going to be as outspoken as she was, she should have been earning an A to begin with, not a B+. On that account, depending on how everything else was graded (objective or subjective), she should be held accountable at least in part for her own failures...
Finally, the amount is obviously ridiculous. Nothing is preventing the girl from repeating the class and earning a better grade. Also, she could always get another masters. At most, she missed out on the difference in 1 year of salary, which would be negligible. Frankly, I don't think I'd be able to stand either the girl or the professor in question.
"If baseball players speaking in front of Congress can be put on trial for perjury, then why shouldn't the politicians we vote for be held accountable to the same standard during their campaigns?" -Paraphrased from The Newsroom
She probably slept with the Professor to get a better grade and it did not happen!!, Cue the song "Bad Professor" by Stephen Lynch.

Wham! (original) version[edit]
Chart and sales performances (UK)[edit]
Wham! had been a dominant force in the UK Singles Chart in 1984 and news that they were planning a Christmas single meant that a battle for the coveted Christmas number one spot in the UK seemed set to be between Wham! and the year's other big act, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, who had achieved a third number one in early December with "The Power of Love". The Band Aid project helmed by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, however, produced the number one single "Do They Know It's Christmas?". Wham!'s offering peaked at number two for much of the period, although George's involvement in Band Aid meant that Wham! still had an input. Wham! subsequently topped the monies raised by Band Aid by donating all of their "Last Christmas/Everything She Wants" royalties to the Ethiopian famine appeal.
In subsequent years, the song managed to reach the middle echelons of the UK singles chart on a regular basis:
- 1984: No. 2 (13 wks)(backed with Everything She Wants)
- 1985: No. 6 (7 wks)
- 1986: No. 45 (4 wks)
- 2007: No. 14 (5 wks)
- 2008: No. 26 (5 wks)
- 2009: No. 34 (4 wks)
- 2010: No. 57 (4 wks)
- 2011: No. 26 (4 wks)
- 2012: No. 34 (4 wks)
- 2013: No. 36 (4 wks)
- 2014: No. 28 (3 wks)
"Last Christmas" has sold 1.77 million copies as of October 2015 and is the biggest selling single in UK chart history not to reach number one.[1]
Chart and sales performances (Rest of the world)[edit]
The song gradually sold in Japan and became the best-selling single that did not reach that country's top-10 chart, selling more than 600,000 copies and peaking on the chart at number twelve in 1992.
In 2009, the song re-entered the Spanish Lista de Canciones (singles chart) at number nine.
The song also re-entered the Billboard Holiday Chart on a regular basis.
In 2013 it was the most streamed single on Christmas Day (in the UK) according to Spotify. [2]
In Germany, the song is the most successful Christmas single of all time, having spent 106 weeks on the German Singles Chart and attained a peak position of number four. It has charted every year since 1997.[3] In January 2008, the song fell from number four to sixty-four there, also making it the biggest fall out of the top ten on the singles chart.[4]
In the Netherlands, the song never reached number one, peaking at number 2 in January, 1985 behind Band Aid. In the Dutch Singles Top 100 (one of three charts in the Netherlands that claims to be the "official" chart, but it's the only one that is not broadcast and remains unpublished except on its own official web page), the song has now entered on 16 different occasions, including every year since 2006. Its highest position after 1984 was number 5 during the 2007 Christmas season.[5]
In the Dutch Mega Top 50, which was first published in 1993, the song re-appeared in 1997, 2000, 2007, 2008 and 2013.
Music video[edit]
The video to "Last Christmas" shows Wham! members George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley accompanying girlfriends to see friends at an unspecified ski resort—although the cable-car that can be seen in two shots is from Saas-Fee, Switzerland. It becomes clear early on that the character of Ridgeley's girlfriend (played by model Kathy Hill) was previously in a relationship with Michael, and that the song is aimed at her. She can easily be spotted throughout the video by the fact that she's usually wearing red, while everyone else is wearing more muted colors.
There is a brief flashback to "Last Christmas" showing Michael's character presenting her with a jewelled brooch. In the present time, Ridgeley is wearing the brooch, suggesting that the girl gave the same gift to her new love after her and Michael parted ways. On numerous occasions Michael presents a thoughtful expression, suggesting his conflicting emotions.
Her seeming indifference to Ridgeley's open displays of affection makes the viewer wonder if Ridgeley's heart is the next to be broken. However, at the end of the video everyone leaves properly "paired off," so perhaps it's being suggested that Michael has worked out his confusion and now realizes he is after all with the right girl.
The video also featured the duo's erstwhile backing singers Pepsi and Shirlie and Spandau Ballet bassist Martin Kemp, the boyfriend and future husband of Shirlie Holliman. The video also marks the last filmed appearance of a cleanshaven Michael, as he sported a beard (which he has had since then) in the video for "Everything She Wants".

In the UK the following single planned after "Close to You" was "Big Time"; however, it was suggested that Whigfield should record a version of "Last Christmas" to go with the release of "Big Time", as a double A-side single.

Hedge Funds Raise Bull Oil Bets to 4-Year High: Energy Markets
Hedge funds ramped up bullish bets on oil to the highest level since at least June 2006 as the Federal Reserve enacted stimulus measures, helping drive crude to a two-year high and weakening the dollar.
The funds and other large speculators increased wagers on rising crude prices by 8.6 percent in the seven days ended Nov. 2, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's weekly Commitments of Traders report. So-called net-long positions climbed to a record for the CFTC data available.
The Fed said Nov. 3 it will buy an additional $600 billion of Treasuries to spur job growth in a second round of quantitative easing, known as QE2. U.S. payrolls rose more than forecast in October, the Labor Department said Nov. 5, also helping boost crude futures. The Dollar Index, which tracks the U.S. currency against those of six major trading partners, slipped 0.9 percent last week and is down 13 percent since this year's June 7 peak.
"It's all about the dollar being debased," said Mike Armbruster, co-founder of Altavest Worldwide Trading in Mission Viejo, California. "You're going to see managed money take its cue from the dollar. If the dollar continues to weaken, you'll see them continue to go long oil."
Oil for December delivery rose $5.42 last week, or 6.7 percent, to settle at $86.85 a barrel on Nov. 5 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the first five-day rally since April. It gained 21 cents, or 0.2 percent, to settle at $87.06 today on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest since Oct. 8, 2008, when oil closed at $88.95.
Bullish Bets
Net-long positions in oil held by what the CFTC categorizes as managed money, including hedge funds, commodity pools and commodity-trading advisers, rose by 15,304 futures and options combined to 194,128, according to the CFTC report.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Merrill Lynch last week forecast that oil may return to $100 a barrel for the first time since the 2008 financial crisis. Oil surged to a record $147.27 a barrel on July 11, 2008, before plunging 78 percent to a low of $32.40 on Dec. 19 that year.
Gold futures rose to a record $1,398.70 an ounce last week before settling at $1,397.70 on Nov. 5 on the Comex in New York, capping a 3 percent gain for the week. Wheat prices climbed to the highest level in almost four weeks as the grain for December delivery settled at $7.2875 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade. Corn touched a 26-month high of $5.9575 a bushel Nov. 4.
"Whatever QE2 will or won't do in the economy, it will cause the price of raw materials to rise," said Jennifer Fan, portfolio manager with Arrowhawk Commodity Strategies, a hedge fund in Darien, Connecticut.
Gasoline Prices
Global oil demand will climb by 2.1 million barrels a day to 86.9 million this year and to 88.2 million in 2011, the Paris-based International Energy Agency said on Oct. 13. Spare production capacity of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries dropped to about 5.8 million barrels a day last month, from a seven-year high of 6.8 million in March 2009, according to a Bloomberg survey of oil companies, producers and analysts.
Petroleum prices were further supported as Saudi Arabia's Oil Minister Ali Al-Naimi said on Nov. 1 that a range between $70 and $90 a barrel is satisfactory for consumers. The kingdom had previously indicated a preferred target of $75 a barrel.
Crude may increase this week on the dollar's weakness, a Bloomberg News survey showed. Twenty-nine of 49 analysts and traders, or 59 percent, said oil will rise through Nov. 12. Thirteen respondents, or 27 percent, predicted prices will fall and seven estimated there would be little change.
Heating Oil
In other markets, bullish, or long, bets on gasoline prices declined 1.9 percent to 50,759, the CFTC data showed. Net-long bets on heating oil fell for a fourth week, retreating by 4,832, or 13 percent, to 32,452.
Net-long positions in futures and options combined in four natural-gas contracts surged by 15,232.5 futures equivalents, or 71 percent, to 36,613.75 in the week ended Nov. 2, the CFTC report also showed.
The measure of natural-gas net longs includes an index of four contracts adjusted to futures equivalents: Nymex natural gas futures, Nymex Henry Hub Swaps, Nymex Henry Hub Penultimate Swaps and ICE Henry Hub Swaps. Henry Hub, in Erath, Louisiana, is the delivery point for Nymex futures, a benchmark price for the fuel.

"My son and his dad chose this design and wouldn't consider any other designs! It was a perfect design to announce our son's graduation!!"
"I ordered this for my daughter's graduation, beautiful cards, great quality. Had to reorder, it was simple and quick and with fast delivery."
"I was very please when I received these announcements. I have already received compliments from family and friends. You can't go wrong with this card!"
"My school's graduation invitations were so expensive and all of my friends bought them. They were plain and simple with only words, but I was able to buy my invitations from this site with my own picture and the cute fonts that they have available for way less than the boring invitations my school was selling."
"We used this to announce our son's graduation party. It fit his personality perfectly. He took one look at the "draft" card I made and didn't want to look at any other options. The paper quality is good, the photos are clear and bright and the design is just unique enough to make it different yet simple."

My 1996 nissan maxima is having a problem with idle, hesitation and stalling. With even pressure on gas pedal, idle will drop down and then jump back up, also has stalled. Brought to mechanic and it took a while for computer to recognize problem. They said it showed up as idle speed sensor. Got car back and it happened again. I figure either they replaced with faulty part or something else was to blame to begin with. I have read a few things online that indicate that problem could be air flow sensor. Likely? Also what is block sensor and how would air flow sensor symptoms and block sensor symptoms differ? Mechanic had mentioned that if problem reappeared that it could be block sensor, but I really tend to think it is the air flow sensor. Please help, much appreciated.

I promise I've done the requiste archives searches for answers to my questions. Lots of good info there, but I'd still like to pick this group's collective brain about a couple of specific questions.
I'm 6'3", 193 lbs (88 Kg). I ride an old (late 80s) lugged-steel, 61cm c-t-t Paramount, with new Velocity wheels. Love the bike, but I'd like to switch out the steel fork with an Ouzo Pro. Current fork has a 1" steerer and (best I can measure) 50mm of rake. So my question is twofold:
1. Given my weight and the length of my bike's head tube, does anyone foresee trouble with an all-carbon, 1-inch diameter fork steerer? I keep reading how so many lightweight parts really aren't designed for riders weighing more than 165 pounds . . .
2. It's tough finding Ouzos (on ebay) with 50mm of rake. How much practical difference will there likely be in handling if I went with rake of, say, 45mm? I love how the bike handles, so I realize it's in my best interest to maintain the current trail as closely as possible. But will this half-centimeter reduction in rake really have any detectable consequences?
Thanks one and all in advance!

The Calvin College men's basketball team thumped rival Hope College in the 183rd edition of The Rivalry, winning 75-49 on Wednesday.
It is the Knights' biggest victory in the series since a 26-point win in 1990.
You have to go back 23 years and 62 games for the last time a Hope-Calvin men's basketball game was this lopsided in Calvin's favor.
Inside Van Noord Arena, the Knights dominated the Flying Dutchmen for a 75-49 on Wednesday.
This was the largest margin of victory for the Knights since the third game of the 1989-90 season when Calvin beat Hope by 27 points in a Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association tournament game.
"Early on this week, we talked about the team that controls the glass is going to be the team that wins the game," Hope coach Matt Neil said. "Calvin absolutely controlled the glass in the first half and that's what allowed them to get off to their great start."
Calvin (14-2 overall, 5-0 MIAA) outrebounded Hope 41-27, and the Knights' offense benefitted.
Calvin led 12-2 in the first four minutes. Hope (9-7, 4-1) did not get its first field goal until Colton Overway (16 points) knocked down a 12-footer with 13 minutes, 28 seconds to play in the first half.
Hope ended the first half with just five field goals in 23 attempts for a paltry 21.7 percent. The Flying Dutchmen were not much better in the second half and ended the game hitting 31.3 percent of their shots (15 of 48).
Overway was Hope's only player in double digits.
Calvin countered with three double-figure scorers, led by Jordan Brink with 16 points and Tom Snikkers and Bryan Powell with 13 points each.
Calvin, meanwhile, hit 62-percent of is shots in the first half (18 of 29) and carried a stunning 43-19 lead into halftime. The Knights shot 49.2 percent for the game (30 of 61).
"I don't think we moved the ball on the pass nearly enough in the first half," Neil said. "I don't think we executed our transition break, which has been pretty doggone good for us all year long. In the start of the second half we zinged the ball around and found some guys cutting to the basket.
"If you move the basketball the defense has to run at you and we weren't doing that early on."
Hope was better in the second half and was able to cut Calvin's margin to 14 points with about 14 minutes remaining in the game.
Calvin answered with a Powell 3-pointer — he and and Snikkers had three 3-pointers each — and the Knights were back ahead by 20 points two minutes later.
"We've got to learn from our mistakes," Overway said. "We've got to move forward. This one is over with and we can't do anything but learn from it."
Calvin coach Kevin Vande Streek was as surprised as anyone at his team's winning margin.
"In most games, the team that comes out in the first two or three minutes comes out on top," Vande Streek said. "I thought we came out with great intensity tonight."
