Marchionne to stay at Chrysler-Fiat 'at least' 3 more yearsComments Email
By Luca Ciferri, Crain News Service
DETROIT (Jan. 14, 2014) — Sergio Marchionne will remain CEO of the merged Chrysler Group L.L.C.-Fiat S.p.A. for at least another three years, Fiat S.p.A. Chairman John Elkann said Jan. 13.
"In early May Fiat-Chrysler will unveil a new three-year business plan and we have agreed that Sergio will drive the company at least for the entire duration of this plan," Mr. Elkann said.
He added that the commitment means Mr. Marchionne could stay longer if he elected to do so.
Mr. Marchionne said that after Fiat buys the remaining stake of Chrysler—which he hopes is completed this week—a merger of the two companies is no longer needed.
"At that point, Chrysler will be a fully owned subsidiary of Fiat S.p.A. and we then need to modify the corporate name accordingly to reflect Chrysler's long heritage," Mr. Marchionne said.
He added that the Fiat board will meet on Jan. 29 in Europe to approve the new name and other details of the integration of Chrysler within Fiat.
Mr. Elkann said he "will remain chairman of the renamed company and Sergio will remain CEO. Do not expect any surprise on these issues."
A placement of shares of the renamed company on Wall Street to finance the three-year plan of investments could not technically happen sooner than the second half of 2014, Mr. Marchionne said.
This report appeared on the website of Automotive News, a Detroit-based sister publication of Tire Business.

The invention relates to removable liners for centrifuge containers and a method of using such liners for separating solids from suspensions by centrifugation.
Centrifugation is a widely used method for separating solid and liquid phases of suspensions. The solid phase is more dense than the liquid phase, and during centrifugation, solids settle at the bottom of the centrifuge container, forming a dense pellet. The lighter liquid phase forms a top layer, also called a supernatant. At the end of centrifugation, the supernatant can be decanted and the pellet harvested or discarded. The initial separation step may be followed by wash steps. During a wash step, the pellet is resuspended in a wash liquid. The resuspended solid component then may be pelleted once again by means of centrifugation and the supernatant wash liquid decanted from the container. In certain applications, this step can be repeated several times with the same or a different wash liquid.
Currently, tube-carrying rotors, as well as bowl-type centrifuge rotors, are available on the market. The following discussion is limited to tube-carrying rotors of which there are three main types: swinging bucket rotors, fixed angle rotors and vertical tube rotors. All three types of tube-carrying rotors include a plurality of symmetrically located cavities, adapted to receive sample containers. Sample containers for centrifugation are manufactured in a variety of sizes, materials, wall thicknesses and sealing means to accommodate chemically active samples and a wide range of operating conditions.
The existing designs of centrifuge containers, however, do not offer an easy access to pellets for their harvesting or disposal. In applications dealing with diluted suspensions, complete harvesting of a pellet can be particularly difficult. In some applications, sample containers have to be cut to retrieve a pellet, which is not always an economically feasible option. Also, existing centrifuge containers cannot accommodate applications where the pellet is a hazardous material (e.g., a biohazard) and a minimal direct handling of the pellet by a technician is desirable. Furthermore, cleaning of the centrifuge containers from the solids remaining on the walls after the pellet is harvested requires laborious and tedious scrubbing and washing. The difficulty of thorough cleaning of the centrifuge container further increases as the dimensions of the neck opening of the container decreases. That is, whereas some types of solid residue may be easily cleaned from wide-mouthed bottles, such residue becomes more difficult to remove where the bottle is of narrow-mouthed construction. Also, the manufacturing of conventional centrifuge containers requires that materials are selected according to their structural strength and fatigue resistance, and not necessarily for their chemical or sterilization resistance. However, the mechanical strength of the materials does not always correspond to their chemical and physical resistance. Consequently, certain chemically aggressive materials cannot be processed in conventional centrifuge containers or require bulky and expensive designs. Finally, when an aseptic procedure is called for, the centrifuge containers have to be sterilized, which often takes 30–60 minutes. This relatively long preparation time of a conventional centrifuge container further decreases efficiency of the sample processing.
The conventional centrifuge container designs, therefore, fail to provide convenient methods for the separation of solids by centrifugation with little or no time required for cleaning and sterilization of the containers prior to the next centrifugal cycle. The conventional designs are also limited to only certain types of samples that can be processed.
It is an object of the present invention to develop a cost-efficient, rapid and convenient method for the separation of the solids from suspensions by centrifugation. Particularly, it is an object of the present invention to develop a centrifuge container assembly that minimizes the time required for its cleaning, reduces direct exposure of a technician to hazardous pellets and, at the same time, increases the efficiency of the pellet harvesting. It is also an object of the present invention to develop a centrifuge container assembly that provides a sample-tight seal and prevents sample spilling during centrifugation.
These and other objects and advantages are achieved in a removable conformal liner of the present invention. The liner is designed to have a flexible or semi-rigid body with an opening for introducing a sample. When the liner is inserted into an internal cavity of a centrifuge container, the body of the liner conforms to the shape of the interior cavity. The liner body may be made of a material that is sufficiently resilient to allow a reversible deformation of the body by folding, twisting, collapsing, rolling, or pleating. The liner body may be deformed in any way, as long the deformation does not cause irreversible structural damage to the liner. The liner may have a strengthening structure for increasing the strength of the liner body. A liner of this invention may also contain an integrally formed sealing structure for providing a seal between the liner and the centrifuge container when assembled. The sealing structure extends outwardly from the side wall of the liner body and may have an o-ring-like structure.
In another aspect, the present invention provides a removable centrifuge container assembly. The assembly includes a centrifuge container with an interior cavity and an opening, and a removable liner with a flexible or semi-rigid body placed in the container. In one embodiment, the liner body is made of a sufficiently resilient material, which allows a reversible deformation of the liner body. This embodiment is particularly advantageous for use with containers which have a narrow neck. When the liner body is made of a resilient material, it may be deformed in such a way that its dimension is sufficiently reduced so that it can fit through the neck of the container. Once released inside the container, the liner unfolds to allow placement of a sample. The centrifuge container assembly of this invention may also have a retaining-means for retaining the liner in a fixed position within the container. The retaining-means may comprise a first mating element formed on the liner body and a second mating element formed on the container. The first and the second mating elements are capable of engaging each other in order to secure the liner. Alternatively, a top portion of the liner may be draped over the edge of the container opening and secured with a retaining-means, such as a tie wrap or a resilient member.
The present invention also overcomes deficiencies of the prior techniques by providing a method of using removable conformal liners for centrifuge containers in separating the solids from suspensions by centrifugation. In this method, the removable conformal liner of the present invention with a flexible or semi-rigid body is placed into a centrifuge container. Once inside the container, the liner body conforms to the shape of the interior cavity of the container. The step of placing the liner may include deforming the liner body to reduce its dimension and fitting the deformed liner through the container opening. The method may further include a step of immobilizing the liner with a retaining-means. When centrifugation is completed, the liner is removed from the container with the pelleted solids contained in the liner. The pelleted solids on the liner may be either harvested or discarded.
The present invention has been found to provide a number of advantages. The centrifuge container assembly can be used to recover the solids from a broad range of suspensions, which includes, but is not limited to, biological materials, such as cell lysates, blood, urine and culture media, and industrial fluids, such as waste washout liquids and sludge. The invention is particularly advantageous in applications dealing with the recovery of the solids from the diluted samples and in applications where limiting direct exposure of a technician to hazardous pelleted solids is desirable.
The liner of the present invention can be designed to fit a wide variety of centrifuge containers, including, but not limited to, centrifuge containers used in a swinging bucket, and vertical tube and fixed angle rotors. For example, a centrifuge container assembly of this invention has been found to be useful with swinging bucket rotors JS3.4A and JS-5.0A for Avanti J and J2 family of centrifuges (Beckman Instruments, Fullerton, Calif.).
The liners of this invention can be made disposable, which eliminates the need for the mechanical cleaning of the centrifuge containers and reduces exposure of a technician to hazardous solid materials. The use of such disposable liners also permits the centrifuge containers to be used with the increasing numbers of suspensions, as the difficulties previously encountered in cleaning the containers of certain pelleted solids become obviated when all that is necessary is to dispose of the liner. For additional convenience, the disposable liners can be sterilized to accommodate the aseptic sample processing or fabricated in a defined particle, clean environment. The liners can be made of a material that is resistant to gamma, E-beam, and ETO sterilizing techniques. The liners may also be made of materials that are puncturable, resistant to freeze-thaw cycles, clear, chemically resistant, or have other properties useful in particular applications. A disposable and sterile liner of the present invention provides an inexpensive and convenient method for the improved recovery of the solids by centrifugation, which makes mechanical cleaning and sterilization of the centrifuge containers unnecessary. Finally, the liners of this invention assist in creating a sample-tight seal between a centrifuge container and a closure, thus preventing the sample from leaking during centrifugation.
The present invention is defined in its fullest scope in the appended claims and is described below in its preferred embodiments.
The above-mentioned and other features of this invention and the manner of obtaining them will become more apparent, and will be best understood by reference to the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Referring to
For the purpose of this invention, a flexible or a semi-rigid liner body is made of any material that allows a deformation of the liner body without breakage. The semi-rigid liner body of this invention is a freestanding structure that can maintain its 3-D shape outside of the container, both when empty and when filled with a sample. The flexible liner body, on the other hand, cannot support the weight of a sample on its own outside of the container. Both semi-rigid and flexible liner bodies can be made of a wide range of materials, including, but not limited to, paper, carton, polyethylene, polyvinylchloride (PVC), ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA), polyethylene terephthalate (PETG), urethane, or any other polymer material that meets medical requirements and can be used in a film configuration would work.
In one embodiment, the liner body is made of a sufficiently resilient material, which allows a reversible deformation of the liner body. For the purpose of this invention, reversible deformation means that the deformed liner body returns to its original shape when the deformation force is released. Examples of reversible deformation include, but are not limited to, pleating (
The liner of this invention may conform to the shape of the interior cavity of the container due to a clinging property of the liner body. This liner type provides the advantage of remaining in a fixed position inside the container cavity without any additional retaining devices. Alternatively, the liner may conform to the interior cavity as a result of a hydraulic load created by the sample during its introduction into the liner or during centrifugation.
The shape of the liner body is not critical and is chosen to conform to the shape of the interior cavity of the container. For example, as shown in

In certain applications, it might be desirable to have disposable liners. Because of the simplicity of the construction and the nature of the materials involved, the liner can be made disposable so it can be discarded after use, which eliminates the need for the mechanical cleaning of the centrifuge containers and reduces exposure of a technician to hazardous solid materials. The use of such disposable liners also permits the centrifuge containers to be used with increasing numbers of suspensions, as the difficulties previously encountered in cleaning the containers of certain pelleted solids become obviated when all that is necessary is to dispose of the liner. For additional convenience, the disposable liners can be pre-sterilized by a manufacturer to significantly reduce the time required for the preparation of the centrifuge containers for the aseptic sample processing by an end-user.
The liner of the present invention can be easily designed to fit a wide range of centrifuge containers by simply changing its shape and size. The liners can be used with virtually any type of centrifuge container, including, but not limited to jars, bottles, cups, and tubes for use with any centrifuge. In one embodiment, the liners are used with centrifuge containers for the swinging bucket rotor centrifuges. In another embodiment, the liners are used with the centrifuge containers for the fixed angle rotor centrifuge.
Another aspect of the present invention provides a centrifuge container assembly comprising, as illustrated in
The container of this invention may be any type of a centrifuge container, including, but not limited to, jars, bottles, cups and tubes for use with any centrifuge. In one embodiment shown in
As shown in

Referring to
In some embodiments, the centrifuge container assembly may contain retaining-means for retaining the liner in a fixed position within the container. The retaining-means may comprise a tie wrap or a resilient member 14 placed on top of the draped top portion 12 of the liner, as shown, for example, in
Alternatively, the retaining-means may comprise two mating elements, one formed on the liner body and the other formed on the container. The mating elements engage each other in order to secure the liner.
In one embodiment shown in
The liner with the integral peripheral sealing structure 7 may also be used with a container without a matching groove. For example, as shown in
Referring to
In another embodiment, best seen in
A semi-rigid liner of this invention may comprise a hook-like structure 22, as shown in
Referring to
In one embodiment, the adapter comprises two members, 91A and 91B, cooperating to form the hollow for receiving and supporting the liner. Such an arrangement simplifies the removal of the liner from the support structure and from the container. Methods and means of assembling two cooperating structures are well-known in the art. For example, one member may have a plurality of recesses and the other member may include a plurality of corresponding projections. The projections closely fit into the recesses and snap-lock when fitted therein. Any other structures for connecting two members may be employed, as long as they provide a secure assembly. Additionally, a plug 93 may be utilized to prevent the escape of aerosols from the sample being centrifugated. The plug also keeps the liner 1 in place during centrifugation. This split removable adapter could be fabricated in different configurations and sizes to fit any centrifuge container.
Another aspect of this invention is directed to a method of separating solids from suspensions by centrifugation. The method comprises the steps of:
As discussed above, substantially any centrifuge container, including, but not limited to, containers used with the swinging bucket rotor and the fixed angle rotor centrifuges, can be used when practicing the present invention. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the step of placing the liner comprises:
This embodiment is particularly useful when a centrifuge container has a narrow neck. Since the deformed liner has reduced dimensions, it can fit through the neck of the container. Once inside the container, the liner unfolds and conforms to the shape of the interior cavity of the container. The deformation of the liner body may be carried out by any method, including, but not limited to, folding, twisting, collapsing, rolling, pleating, and their combinations.
After placing the liner into the centrifuge container, a liquid sample may be introduced through the open end of the liner by suitable means to fill the liner. The liner may be fully or partially filled. In some embodiments, the liner is left open after filling with the sample. Alternatively, the liner may be sealed by any method. For example, the liner may be heat-sealed (laminated), twisted and tied, zip-locked or sealed with a pressure sensitive adhesive. In one embodiment disclosed in
The length of the liner body may be larger than the depth of the internal cavity of the container, and the step of placing the liner into the container may further comprise draping the top portion 12 of the liner over the edge 13 of the container opening, as shown, for example, in
In one embodiment shown in
The container assembly filled with the sample may be placed into a centrifuge rotor opening directly or via an adapter. The centrifuge is then operated at a speed and for a period of time necessary to cause the separation of solid and liquid phases. Upon the completion of the centrifugation, a solid pellet is formed on the liner and is covered by a supernatant layer. The amount of the pellet and the volume of supernatant obtained depend on the quantity of the sample and the concentration of the solid phase in the sample. The supernatant is usually decanted and the liner with pelleted solids is removed from the container. When a two-member centrifuge container is used, the liner is removed from the container by separating the two members of the container. The pelleted material may, if desired, be harvested by scrapping or by resuspending in a suitable liquid, such as a buffer-solution, salinic solution, water, etc. As the solid recovery efficiency is higher in this method compared to conventional ones, this method is particularly beneficial when solids are harvested from diluted samples.
In one embodiment, the liner is disposable. The disposable liner provides additional advantages of convenience, effectiveness of sample processing and centrifuge container cleaning. Using disposable liners is especially advantageous when processing hazardous materials, for example, biohazardous materials, which require minimal direct exposure of a technician to hazardous pellets. In another embodiment, the disposable liners are pre-sterilized, which significantly simplifies the aseptic sample processing.
The present invention extends to the separation of solids from suspensions. A solid is defined herein as any physically separable matter and includes settable solids, suspended solids, colloidal solids, cells and formed elements of blood, e.g., platelets, granulocytes (polymorphonuclear), lymphocytes, monocytes, etc. The suspensions can be a wide range of materials, including, but not limited to, biological materials such as culture media, cell lysates, bodily fluids (e.g., blood and urine), and industrial fluids such as waste washout liquid and sludge containing solid materials.
Thus, the liner of the present invention and the method of its use in separating solids from suspensions are well adapted to attain all of the ends and objects set forth above, together with other advantages which are inherent to the system. The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its essential characteristics. The described embodiment is to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not as restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of the equivalence of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.

Malvern, PA-based CRO Reaction Biology Corporation (RBC) inked an agreement allowing Cisbio Bioassays to co-market and sell RBC's recombinant epigenetic proteins worldwide. RBC manufactures the proteins which are used to modulate genetic functions in humans and are being validated as targets for a new generation of cancer drugs, according to the company, which says it expects to grow its portfolio of epigenetic proteins to more than 200 this year.
Cisbio develops and markets assays used in drug discovery. The firm has recently expanded its product offering with solutions to assess epigenetic targets such as methyltransferases, explained Patrick Seguin, vp of sales and marketing.
"We have been seeing increasing demand for high quality epigenetic proteins that can be included in the assays that we currently develop," he said "This agreement [with RBC] represents one step /forward in our goal to become a premier provider of epigenetic assays."
Do you think that the recent backpedaling on "heart healthy" practices, and other conflicting studies that claim coffee either causes or prevents cancer, confuse the public more than actually help them make informed choices about their diets?

Lord of Temptation: Lost Lords of Pembrooke Series, Book 2 - Lost Lords of Pembrooke (MP3)Lorraine Heath, Faye Adele, ©2012 by HarperCollinsPublishers
"Lorraine Heath's books are always magic."
—Cathy Maxwell
"[Heath's] deftly skilled story-telling entrances and enthralls from the first page to last."
—Karen Hawkins
Historical romance readers just can't get enough of the Lost Lords of Pembrook. In her previous book, She Tempts the Duke, New York Times bestselling author Lorraine Heath introduced three brooding and intensely passionate brothers determined to reclaim their stolen birthright, as their righteous quest inadvertently leads each one down a separate path to true love. The story continues with Heath's Lord of Temptation, as a dark and dangerous lord hardened by a life at sea sets his sights on one virtuous woman who, unlike so many of his conquests, would deny him what he hungers for most. When it comes to creating breathtaking love stories, irresistible rogue heroes, and heart-stopping sensuality, Lorraine Heath always delivers—and this Lord is one temptation no romance lover should resist...especially fans of Lisa Kleypas and Liz Carlyle!

Nimble is releasing new tools set up to give businesses more insight into customer leads. Nimble 3.0 is being called a relationship manager, offering businesses more developed connections and handing them information about leads that should help to build deeper engagement.
"By pulling important signals from the noise, Nimble learns more about the types of people and information that are important to our users, offering an ongoing concentration of valuable engagement insights to a higher-quality professional network, and more targeted connection opportunities," said Jon Ferrara, founder and CEO of Nimble. "We're spearheading an entirely new Nimble experience to expose users to insights about their networks that they didn't previously know.

The new features released with Nimble 3.0 including 'Today Screen' which offers actionable contact insights and a 'Signal Screen' which filters business information so that sales people or marketing teams can act upon the right customer information to drive engagement up.
In addition there is a more developed search option which tracks the last contact made with a lead or customer and an app marketplace that allows Nimble to integrate across the app space, making it more available to users.
"Nimble is constantly surfacing important engagement opportunities and learning more about the types of people and information that are important to me," said Alan Berkson, founder & principal at Intelligist Group. "This improves my signal-to-noise ratio, creating a higher-quality network."

Food trucks meet up Wednesdays to support baseball program
The Trabuco Hills High School Baseball Program is in need of a new scoreboard since their previous one bit the dust last year.
To raise money for the program itself and fund a new scoreboard, the team's booster holds a gourmet food truck meet-up every Wednesday at the school from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Five to seven trucks roll up each week, and 10 percent of the proceeds go directly to the baseball program said Sue Aufderheide, president of the baseball booster program.
"They (the food trucks) are in it to make money, too, and it's a win-win," she said. "And the food's really good."
Aufderheide said the program teamed up with Curbside Bites, a food truck booking service, in October. The event has since grown in popularity.
"It's a great way for us to raise money and get the community together," Aufderheide said.
The food truck event is every Wednesday at Trabuco Hills High School, 27501 Mustang. Visit trabucobaseball.com/events to see the weekly food truck schedule.

News & Interviews for Adaptation
Critic Reviews for Adaptation
All Critics (210) | Top Critics (39) | Fresh (182) | Rotten (18) | DVD (32)
For two-thirds of its running time the film is close to genius. But there's still no third act.
As the character Kaufman himself admits, his script is self-indulgent, narcissistic, and solipsistic. It's also a heck of a lot of fun.
A fine accomplishment from all involved, especially Charlie Kauffman, who has written a bewildering and captivating movie, which bares his mind, heart and soul.
At all times, "Adaptation." carries the thrillingly unpredictable charge of a film writing itself before your eyes. Spike Jonze matches Charlie Kaufman's tumble through time, neuroticism, fact and fiction with depictions of creation at a cellular level.
Audience Reviews for Adaptation
Spike Jonze once again delivers exactly what you'd expect from Spike Jonze--the unexpected. There's a lot to chew on in this movie. This movie goes to show that Nicholas Cage is a good actor sometimes.
Super Reviewer
A triumphantly meta film that takes every opportunity to take a filmic cliche and completely turn it on its head. This is writer Kaufman's movie as much as it is Jonze's, and the duo manage to provoke laughs, pathos, and thought in this surreal dive into the writing psyche, complete with a wonderful dual performance from Nicolas Cage.
Super Reviewer
Adaptation is one of the most intelligent and original films I've ever seen. Charlie Kaufman did a fantastic job with the script and it makes the audience think; this is something that not a lot of films do. All the acting is great especially by Nicolas Cage who convincingly portrays two people. I really liked the main character, Charlie, who is someone we can relate to. This is a film that leaves a lasting impact not only because it's so unique, but because of how emotionally powerful it is. One of my favorites.

Four Loko Promises Attorney General It Will No Longer Be Quite So Loco
This would presumably fall under the category of banned user-generated content.
Image via Free Loko.
Surely each and every one of you remember where you were on the bleak day back in 2010 when insanely caffeinated, insanely alcoholic energy drink Four Loko was banned in New York. Pushed by Senator Chuck Schumer, who called Four Loko a "toxic and dangerous brew," the State Liquor Authority stopped allowing the caffeinated version of the drink to be sold here; New York was one of four states to do so.
But the youth of America still wanted Four Loko, probably because, in the sage words of one shopkeeper interviewed by NYU paper The Local, "It makes you crazy," or because, as the "Save Four Loko" Facebook page put it, "It makes your dick wet." (The Local found that nearly a year after the ban took effect, some bodegas were still selling the caffeinated version of the drink.)
So the attorneys general of 20 states, along with the city attorney of San Francisco, decided to band together and sue Phusion Projects, LLC, the Chicago-based maker of Four Loko. That suit was settled yesterday, after Phusion promised to keep caffeine, underage people and Santa out of the making and marketing of the drink.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman issued a statement yesterday, announcing that Phusion had agreed not to "promote the misuse of alcohol" or "promote mixing flavored malt beverages with products containing caffeine."

TicketsFri., May. 13, 12:00am
The settlement goes further, though, saying that Phusion can't produce any of its alcoholic-caffeinated beverages (the others were called Four and Four MaXed), and that its advertising, marketing, and publicity can't involve people who look like they're under 21, nor can it promote its product on school- or college-owned properties. Phusion also can't incorporate the names or logos of sororities or fraternities into its advertising, or any "depictions or descriptions of Santa Claus." (Maybe Coke owns that guy?)
In addition, anything posted by Four Loko enthusiasts on a Phusion-owned website that might break any of the above rules, or be seen as promoting "misuse" of the drink, has to be pulled within 24 hours. The settlement specifically uses the words "double-fisting," as in, pictures of Four Loko users doing that with the drink will have to be pulled. Phusion will also have to pay $400,000 to cover the cost of the states' investigation into the beverage.
In a statement published by the Boston Globe, Phusion president Jim Sloan wrote, "While our company did not violate any laws and we disagree with the allegations of the State Attorneys General, we consider this agreement a practical way to move forward and an opportunity to highlight our continued commitment to ensuring that our products are consumed safely and responsibly only by adults 21 and over."
Sloan added, though, that the company "continues to believe...as do many people throughout the world, that the combination of alcohol and caffeine can be consumed safely and responsibly."
Epic Meal Time's Chili Four Loko will never be the same.

The Cats made use of extra-base hits from the start when Jermaine Mitchell led off the game with a triple, followed by back-to-back run-scoring doubles from Cowgill and Chris Carter. Cowgill's second RBI double was part of a two-run, three-hit fifth inning.
Colorado Springs went to its bullpen after just four innings. Four of Sacramento's first seven hits were doubles, scoring four runs in the first five innings. The River Cats continue to lead the Pacific Coast League in fewest runs allowed (106).
Starting pitcher Bruce Billings worked seven shutout innings, allowing five hits, while striking out six and walking just one. His ERA dropped to 3.05 in his longest outing of the season. Fautino De Los Santos worked a scoreless eighth and Merkin Valdez finished strong, fanning two after giving up one run on three hits in the ninth.
Sky Sox starter Brandon Hynick struggled early on, giving up two doubles and a triple in the first inning. His night ended with four earned runs on six hits through 4.1 innings pitched. Three relievers combined to pitch the final four innings. Zach Putnam was tagged for two earned runs on two hits in the eighth.
Josh Donaldson went 2-for-3, extending his hitting streak to six games, and is now hitting .500 with Sacramento.
After a four-game road trip through Tucson, the River Cats return to Raley Field on May 8, for a Kids Eat Free Tuesday, presented by California Family Fitness. The contest is set for 7:05 p.m., and will kick off an eight-game home stand against the Omaha Storm Chasers and Iowa Cubs.

Miley Cyrus' tour bus has been burnt down.
The singer is currently on her Bangerz Tour and her most recent show was in Houston on Sunday.
She's scheduled to play in New Orleans today, but the 21-year-old and her entourage were left shocked when things didn't go smoothly.
Cyrus' 14-year-old sister Noah posted a video and pictures of the star's tour bus as it went up in flames.
"cyrus bus down!!!! (sic)" she wrote on Twitter.
Noah also shared a short clip on Instagram of the burning vehicle.
Luckily nobody was injured and Miley and her family found a safe haven to spend the night.
"Thank u God for keeping us safe," Noah tweeted.
"finally in a hotel. im going to sleep. #noahdown
"Yes, everyone got out safe no one is injured what so ever!! everything is okay!! (sic)"
It's unclear how the fire started, but fans of Cyrus' have speculated it could be to do with church protesters campaigning outside her concerts.
The We Can't Stop singer retweeted a message one follower wrote on March 14.
"These ridiculous church protesters outside the Tulsa @MileyCyrus concert are adding excitement to an already manic scene. Magic! #bangerz (sic)" the post reads.
Cyrus' shows have raised a few eyebrows thanks to her raunchy dance routines and barely-there outfits.
However, the star has stood up for herself and hit back at those critical of her performances.
"I don't think people realise how much energy I put into my shows & how much their bad energy brings me down (sic)," she tweeted.

The Farm Report: 5/20/13
My apologies for the lack of posts this past week and a half, but I came down with some horrendous cold/fever/upper respiratory thing that has been going around up here. It was beyond miserable, but I appear to be on the mend finally – a day I was starting to think might never come. Anyway, it was an exciting day on the farm, as the Yankees' affiliates split the day. Much like the big club, Scranton saw some extra baseball, though they came up short. Trenton put together a nice comeback win over Richmond, while Tampa won the rare low-scoring game.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre lost to Columbus 6-5 (10 innings):
The RailRiders scored first, putting together a big third inning. Brennan Boesch drew a walk with two outs. Zoilo Almonte singled and Dan Johnson drew a walk, loading the bases. A single by Josh Bell plated Boesch and Thomas Neal lined a double to left, clearing the bases and giving Scranton a 4-0 lead. A solo homer by Chun-Hsiu Chen put Columbus on the board int he fourth, but Scranton got the run back in the top of the fifth. Almonte and Johnson hit back-to-back singles and a double by Melky Mesa plated Almonte for a 5-1 lead. Unfortunately, the lead would not hold. Matt Carson started the bottom of the seventh with a double and Juan Diaz drew a walk. Omir Santos lined a single to center, plating Carson. A double by Ezequiel Carrera scored Diaz and two runs scored on a Lonnie Chisenhall single, tying the game 5-5. The game stayed tied through nine, sending it into extras. Scranton couldn't get much going in the top of the tenth, but Columbus wasted little time in the bottom of the inning. Matt LaPorta lined a single to center off Josh Spence. Chisenhall bunted for a single and Chen lined a single to left, plating Lawson and giving the Clippers the 6-5 walk-off win over the RailRiders.

Transitive Property. Substitution Property could be argued. I don't see Symmetric as a viable option.

its transitive.
symmetric well one side is equal to another side,
What are the options then ?
Symmetric: If a and b are real numbers and a = b, the b = a. That is not what is going on here.
OOH, thats what that is, so is symmetric the same thing as communative?
No. Symmetric is not the same as commutative. Symmetric flips two quantities about, in this case, the equality symbol. Symmetric: If a and b are real numbers and a = b, the b = a. Commutative flips about an operational symbol. Commutative property of Addition: If a and b are real numbers, then a + b = b + a.

Rush hour returns to CenturyLink Field
Latest Video
Former NFL Scouts Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks give their 3 most shocking moves from the 2016 NFL Draft. Watch
Latest Photos
To celebrate this now annual occasion, we merge the galaxies of Star Wars with our newest stars, the 2016 #SeahawksDraft class. And as you'll discover, the parallels between our two universes go far far beyond simple name-play. Happy Star Wars Day and #MayThe4thBeWithYou always! View
Here's a look at the offensive side of the ball as they took to the practice field during phase two of voluntary offseason workouts. View
Wishing a happy birthday to Seahawks second year guard out of West Virginia, Mark Glowinski who turns 24 today! View
Less than satisfied with the pass rush in the Seahawks' preseason-opening loss to the Broncos in Denver, coach Pete Carroll had a hunch a return to CenturyLink Field for his team's home opener would produce more satisfactory results.
Five sacks, 10 quarterback hits, countless pressures and a 41-14 victory later, the what's-up residue from the opener was jolted back to the what's-next anticipation after the relentless showing against the San Diego Chargers on Friday night.
"It was better. We were more active. We moved around pretty well," Carroll said after practice on Monday, and after reviewing video of that Seahawks' back-at-home, back-on-track outing.
Did they ever. The sacks came from ends O'Brien Schofield and Gregg Scruggs; cornerback Terrell Thomas on a blitz; Mayowa and Morgan on the play Carroll mentioned; and the fifth was, appropriately, a "team sack." Schofield had four of the QB hits, with five other players contributing the rest – Morgan, Scruggs, Mayowa, Thomas and rookie free agent Jackson Jeffcoat.
And there are no stats to measure the way Leo end Cliff Avril tormented Chargers' right tackle D.J. Fluker with explosive bursts off the edge – unless you count the number of times Fluker slammed palm to helmet after a play, or the wattage of the smile Avril flashed along the sideline.
It was the type of performance that showed the Seahawks' pass rush should be just fine, despite the losses of three key contributors from last season's defense that led the NFL in average points and yards allowed and registered more sacks (44) than any Seahawks team since 2007 (45). Ends Red Bryant and Chris Clemons were released and signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, while versatile tackle Clinton McDonald signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in free agency.
"It's just different dynamics," line coach Travis Jones said. "There are always changes in the NFL on every team. So you have to be flexible."Michael Bennett and Avril, who led the team in sacks after being signed as free agents last offseason, needed to play more. So Avril has stepped in at Leo end for Clemons, while Bennett is at the five-technique end for Bryant – in addition to sliding inside in the nickel defense.
Who fills McDonald's spot? How about six-time Pro Bowler Kevin Williams, who signed with the Seahawks in June after playing 11 productive seasons for the Minnesota Vikings? Williams started at the three-technique tackle spot against the Chargers, as incumbent starter Tony McDaniel – all 6 feet 7, 305 pounds of him – moved out to five-technique end because Bennett was a pre-game scratch when he felt tightness in a hamstring.
But that's what Jones wants in his linemen – the versatility to allow this flexibility.
"We want to see how many guys can play multiple positions, then you can roll people in as you need to," he said. "I want to have guys that can be able to play different positions for me and not be pigeon-holed at one spot. It just provides more versatility for you and gets more guys plays and reps and roles.
"It's just a big benefit, and the competition adds to it."
Monday, as the Seahawks began preparing for Friday night's game against the Chicago Bears at CenturyLink Field, the No. 1 line in the base defense featured Bennett and Avril at the ends and Williams and Brandon Mebane at the tackles. In the nickel, the line was Avril and Mayowa at the ends with Jordan Hill and Bennett at the tackles.
At the top of Jones' must-do list for every practice, and even more so in every game, is effort.
"I was pleased with the effort and that's first and foremost what we look for," he said. "And it certainly was there, and with good intensity. It wasn't always pretty, but it was good effort in the pass rush. And that's exactly what I'm after."
Especially when it translates into getting after the passer the way the Seahawks did on Friday night. Read

The DRM Consortium has released the contents of a letter it recently tendered to the UK government's influential communications committee, chaired by Lord Fowler, which asks the body to reconsider its current digital transition plan. That roadmap, part of the Digital Britain Act recently adopted in parliament, has a controversial timetable for the shutdown of national analog radio channels that could come as early as 2015.
Lord Fowler himself has urged caution toward the so-called analog sunset, because it could jeopardize citizen access to radio by those who can't or won't purchase new radios. Others have expressed concern that smaller community broadcasters, many of which are now on FM, will likewise be unable to afford the high cost of carriage on a DAB multiplex.
In essence, DRM's letter urges the committee to consider small scale, single-point digital solutions for those broadcasters unable to make the jump to DAB, such as DRM 30 for supplanting existing analog AM and DRM + for FM using existing spectrum, bandwidth and allocations.
No comment yet from the Communications Committee.

Blackmagic Design has announced the ATEM 4.1 software update, which lets customers save and restore full or partial switcher states on all ATEM Production Switchers, plus adds 1080p 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94 frame rates for the ATEM Production Studio 4K model.
The new progressive frame rates allow customers to work in 1080p 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94 progressive video formats, which means ATEM Production Studio 4K now connects to an even wider range of HD devices, including low-cost consumer HDMI and professional SDI cameras, routers, media playout servers and more.
This new ATEM 4.1 software update also allows all ATEM customers to save and restore switcher states on any ATEM Production Switcher. With powerful macro-like control, save and restore can be used in three ways: save and restore the entire switcher state, save only a piece to restore or load just a piece of an entire saved state. For example, you can recall a complicated chromakey setup without affecting the rest of the switcher state during a live production.
Now customers can save to a laptop, hard disk or USB and plug in to load saved states at the next session using any ATEM production switcher, in any location. Each new saved state is saved to the folder as a new file with time and date stamp, which means that customers can confidently save multiple states throughout a broadcast without worrying about accidentally saving over the top of another. With all the saved versions in one folder, it's easy to go backwards and forwards in time restoring favorite settings instantly.
ATEM Software Update 4.1 is available now for download free of charge from the Blackmagic Design website for ATEM Production Studio 4K, ATEM 1 M/E Production Switcher, ATEM 2 M/E Production Switcher and ATEM Television Studio.
