Ned Yost media session: June 23
Before wrapping up a three game series with tonight's 7:10 contest vs. the Diamondbacks, Royals manager Ned Yost raved about rookies, first baseman Eric Hosmer and third baseman Mike Moustakas. Yost explained that the two are superb examples of players that work both on their hitting and defensive skills.
"That's the mark of a complete player is somebody that focuses not only on their offense but their defense too…for these kids that's a priority for them to be complete players," Yost said.
The Royals skipper praised the squad's defensive work, touching on the outfield assists that the Royals have excelled in during the 2011 season so far. Left fielder Alex Gordon (8), center fielder Melky Cabrera (7), and right fielder Jeff Francoeur (8), enter today ranking in the top six in the American League in outfield assists.
"Our defense has saved us a tremendous amount of runs this year and our outfield defense, if you look at our assists it's in the mid-twenties…we've made a marked improvement in terms of our defense," Yost said.
Despite the one-run loss in last night's contest against Arizona, Yost understands that his squad is continuously learning to play consistent baseball and create run scoring opportunities. Yost stresses the importance of his players learning from their mistakes to come back a better, smarter baseball team.

WEST ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. (KSDK) -- A house fire in unincorporated St. Louis County sends a firefighter and the homeowner to the hospital.
Firefighters were called to the burning home in the 100 block of South Drive just before 9:00 a.m. Saturday. The house is located in Sherman which is classified as unincorporated St. Louis County.
When firefighters arrived they found thick smoke and flames coming from the structure. Initial reports were that a person was trapped in the residence, however, it was quickly determined that everyone was out of the structure.
After approximately 25 minutes the fire was extinguished.
"The biggest challenge faced by crews was that the location of the fire. That particular area is without a public water system and accessible fire hydrants" said Metro West Chief Vincent T. Loyal. He added "we had to implement a water tanker shuttle operation so it was necessary that Metro West receive additional assisted from nearby fire districts. The West County EMS & Fire Protection District, Monarch Fire Protection District, Eureka Fire Protection District, High Ridge Fire Protection District, Boles Fire Protection District and the Pacific Fire Protection District responded to ensure adequate water supply for suppression efforts".
The unidentified homeowner was transported to an area hospital for treatment of what were reported to be non life threatening injuries. In addition, one firefighter was later transported for minor injuries sustained during firefighting efforts.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by Metro West and St. Louis County Police officials, but investigators do say the fire appears suspicious in nature.
"This is a good time to remind everyone of the importance for homeowners to remember to change batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, to have furnaces and fireplaces professionally checked for safety and to remember not to place any objects on or near stoves" said Chief Vincent T. Loyal of the Metro West Fire Protection District.

Four teens charged with burglary and theft
Published: Friday, April 19, 2013 at 3:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 19, 2013 at 3:54 p.m.
OCALA - Two shotguns stolen from a residence were recovered by sheriff's detectives, who arrested four teens in connection with the burglary.
The four boys, ages 15 to 18, were each charged with armed residential burglary and grand theft.
Detectives Stephen Osborne and Brandon Spillman were told the teens went to the home in Silver Springs Shores and one of them threw a brick through a back bedroom window. They left, but returned a short time later and two of them entered the home and stole a Remington shotgun and a Springfield shotgun, which they hid in some woods.
The theft was reported to the Sheriff's Office and, during an investigation, the detectives learned about two of the suspects, who led them to the other two.
The weapons were found in a wooded area after one of the suspects took detectives to the area.

[UPDATE] Tallahassee, Florida- July 25, 2012
The accused triggerman in a Tallahassee gang shootout is now headed to prison.
Ion Cloud was the last of five men to be sentenced for a deadly shooting at the Circle K on Lake Bradford Road back in 2009.
Cloud entered a plea to manslaughter and attempted murder and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
An innocent bystander, 26 year old Curtis Brown, was shot and killed in the gunfire that day in March 2009.
Four of the five men arrested are now in prison with sentences ranging from eight to 20 years.
[UPDATE] Tallahassee, Florida - July 25, 2012 by Julie Montanaro
Ion Cloud, the accused triggerman in the Circle K gang shootout from March 2009, has entered a plea.
He pled no contest to manslaughter and attempted 2nd degree murder.
He was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Cloud is the last of five people arrested in the shootout to be sentenced.
Four of the five are currently serving time in prison with sentences ranging from eight to 20 years.
[UPDATE] Tallahassee, Florida - March 26, 2012 -4:56pm -
It's been nearly three years to the day since an innocent bystander was killed in a deadly gang shootout at a Tallahassee Circle-K.
Monday (3-26-12) as one of the men arrested for it was sentenced.
Dressed in a blue jump suit, 24-year-old Tashawnbie Gay stood before a judge, awaiting his fate. Gay is one of five man arrested in connection with the deadly Circle K shootout the left Curtis Brown dead. Last month, a jury found Gay guilty on all but one of the five counts he faced. Monday, he was sentenced.
"The jury in the case made a finding that the defendant possessed and discharged a firearm which pursuant to the statute means the defendant was looking at 20 years in the department of corrections," says John Hutchins of the prosecution.
Judge Mark Walker sentenced Gay to 20 years for attempted murder. Gay was also given five years for aggravated assault and another 5 years for possession of a firearm. Those will be served at the same time. Gay was credited with time served on fifth count of discharging a weapon.
Gay is the fourth defendant that attorney John Hutchins has prosecuted in the last three years for the shootout.
"It's been a long process. I mean this happened back in March of 2009 and we still have another defendant that's out there," says Hutchins.
That defendant is Ion Cloud. He's the one accused of firing the shot that killed Brown. His trial is set to begin in September.
Gay's attorney declined to comment. He will have 30 days to file an appeal. His request for a new trial was denied.
[UPDATE] Tallahassee, Florida - March 26, 2012 -2pm -
A judge denies a motion for a new trial for Tashawnbie Gay. Gay was found guilty of attempted second degree murder, aggravated assault, carrying a concealed firearm and discharging a firearm in public in a shootout at the Circle K on Lake Bradford Road back in March 2009.
UPDATED 2.24.2012 9:15am by Julie Montanaro
An all male jury deliberated late into the wee hours of the morning before returning four guilty verdicts against Tashawnbie "Breyon" Gay.
Court records show Gay was found not guilty of the most serious charge of felony murder.
Gay was found guilty of attempted second degree murder, aggravated assault, carrying a concealed firearm and discharging a firearm in public.
The verdicts were returned at 1:30am Friday after seven hours of deliberation.
Gay will be sentenced March 2, 2012 at 9am. Prosecutor John Hutchins says Gay faces a minimum of 20 years in prison.
UPDATED 2.23.2012 7:15pm by Julie Montanaro
The jury started deliberating at 6:30 this evening in the trial of Tashawnbie "Breyon" Gay.
Gay is accused of murder in the death of innocent bystander Curtis Brown and attempted murder for firing on two rival gang members in a shootout at the Circle K on Lake Bradford Road back in March 2009.
Gay took the stand this afternoon. So did Earl Jackson and Darvaughnta Vaughn who are already serving prison sentences for their roles in the shootout.
UPDATED 2.22.2012 6:30pm by Julie Montanaro
A shocking gang shootout is playing out in court. One of the accused triggermen is standing trial.
Tashawnbie "Breyon" Gay is accused of killing an innocent bystander and trying to kill two rival gang members that night in March 2009.
The tension was palpable today when one of those men took the stand.
Christopher Harvey may have started it all. He told the jury he went up to Tashawnbie "Breyon" Gay in the Circle K parking lot and challenged him to a fist fight. That's when he said Gay lifted his shirt and showed him his gun.
"It looked like an automatic," he said.
Shots rang out as soon as Harvey turned to run. A bullet went clear through his sleeve, but he admitted he never actually saw Gay pull the trigger.
"Did you see him fire the gun?" the defense attorney asked on cross examination.
"No. I say I seen him with a gun and when I turned I head shots from a gun," Harvey said.
Witnesses say there was a volley of gunfire. Prosecutors say 32 bullets from as many as eight different guns were fired that night.
One of the bullets hit 26 year old Curtis Brown. He was shot right above the eye as he stood talking to his own sisters.
"When the shooting stopped I opened my door to see was he alright, but he was lying down," Choicey Brown recalled, "but when I stood over him he had a hole in his head and blood was coming from the back of his head and out his nose."
Gay's attorney claims Gay didn't fire first and pulled his gun in self defense. Gay wound up getting shot too, right in the buttocks. His girlfriend at the time testified Gay knocked on her door soon afterward.
"What did he say?" the prosecutor asked.
"Um. Hump, who is Curtis Brown, has been shot," Deaudra Bell said.
Bell said when Gay turned on the light she could see he too had been shot. She says Gay was bleeding so she got up and drove him to the hospital.
Testimony is expected to continue tomorrow. 2-23 and could go to the jury tomorrow or Friday.
Feb 22, 2012 - Noon - by Julie Montanaro
This shootout stunned Tallahassee back in 2009. It was northside versus westside and Curtis Brown got caught in the crossfire.
Tashawnbie Breyon Gay is one of five men arrested in the shootout.
He is now on trial for Brown's murder and for trying to kill two rival gang members Earl Jackson and Chris Harvey.
Harvey is on the stand right now. He picked Gay out of a photo line up at that time and pointed him out again in court today.
Tension between him and Gay's attorney is high and Gay followed him with his eyes all the way up the witness stand.
Harvey says he went to pick a fist fight with Gay but turned and ran when he realized Gay had a gun. A bullet went clear through his sleeve, but did not hit him.
Harvey admitted he did not actually see Gay fire the gun.
Two other men are already serving prison time for the shootout and the man suspected of firing the shot that killed Curtis Brown has yet to stand trial.
Feb 22, 2012 10:30am by Julie Montanaro
Curtis Brown's sisters were sitting in a car in the parking lot that night. Brown was leaning over the window talking with them when the gunfire started.
Choicey Brown says there was an initial blast of gunfire, a pause, then more shots. She says she didn't see who was firing because she ducked. When she got out of the car, she saw her brother lying on the around with a hole in his head and blood coming out of his nose.
Curtissa Butts says she didn't see any faces but she did see a man in a white t-shirt firing a gun.
Feb 22, 2012 10am by Julie Montanaro
Attorneys are now making opening statements to the jury which is made up of 6 men and one woman. The woman appears to be the alternate.
Prosecutor John Hutchins says Tashawnbie Gay and a man named Chris Harvey had a previous disagreement and on the night of March 29, 2009 Harvey challenged Gay to a fist fight in the Circle K parking lot.
Prosecutors contend Gay lifted his shirt to reveal a gun in his waistband. Harvey and his friend Earl Jackson started to back away, but that's when the shooting started. Prosecutors say Gay was shooting in their direction.
Prosecutors say there were at least 32 bullets fired that night from eight different guns.
Gay's attorney Greg Cummings says his defense is self defense. He claims Gay did not fire the first shot but feared for his life and pulled out his gun afterward. Cummings says Gay then turned and ran and was shot in the buttocks as he retreated.
February 22, 2012 by Julie Montanaro
Tashawnbie Gay is now on trial for the 2009 murder of Curtis Brown. Brown was an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire of a gang shootout at the Circle K on Lake Bradford Road.
Gay was one of five men arrested in the shootout.
Attorneys are now arguing over whether anyone can testify about gangs at all. Prosecutors contend Gay's affiliation with the northside gang - including a spade tattoo - is relevant. Defense attorneys say no one can prove Gay is a gang member.
Opening arguments are slated to begin momentarily.
July 29, 2010 -
A deadly gang shootout in Tallahassee may be the biggest test yet of Florida's stand your ground law.
Tashawnbie Gay is the second suspect to claim self defense in a gang shootout at the Circle K on Lake Bradford Road last March.
Gay's attorney filed the motion with the circuit clerk today claiming Gay was fired upon first and by law is entitled to meet force with force.
Gay is one of five men accused in the murder of Curtis Brown.
Co-defendant Darvaughnta Vaughn filed a similar stand your ground claim last week.
A hearing date has not been set for either of those claims.

I found the comet very quickly and at 50x my 280mm Dobson showed a littje fuzzy ball with a very faint tail. Higher magnification (150x) showed a bright, almost pinpoint nucleus and a wide tail stretching to the southeast. The best comet in years for me!
The movement of the comet was so quick I could sketch it twice in the same starfield within one hour. At home I scanned the image and made an animated GIF to show the comet's movement.

Ned Yost media session: July 16
The batting order was the first topic of discussion when manager Ned Yost met with the media this afternoon. One reporter asked about Salvador Perez's spot in the order, which is ninth today and has been towards the bottom since returning from the disabled list. Sal has been hitting well since coming back and the reporter asked why he is still consistently towards the bottom of the order. Yost said he doesn't necessarily want to keep Sal at the bottom of the batting order, but with the way other guys are playing and who has the other spots, the nine-hole is the only one open at the moment. Yost said Lorenzo Cain is swinging the bat really well so the fifth spot is taken. Alex Gordon has the number one spot and has been very productive there. Alcides Escobar has done a very nice job in the second spot and that is where they want to see him long term. They envision Eric Hosmer in the three-hole long term as well although he is struggling at the moment. Yost said he (Hosmer) has to get accustomed to that spot and role because he feels he can be a three-hole hitter for the rest of the year. He continued by saying Billy Butler is fourth therefore that spot is also taken and Mike Moustakas has been doing great all season in the sixth spot so they are not going to put Sal there either. In the seventh spot they have Jeff Francoeur and then Yuniesky Betancourt in the eighth spot. Yost then said that only leaves one spot, the nine-hole, and that is where Sal is for the moment.
The question about whether or not Frenchy should stay in the seventh spot or not because of his struggles this season arose next. Yost said he is kind of a streaky hitter, but since the All-Star break ended he has swung the bat very well and he is not going to move him from that spot in the lineup right now. Yost said he envisions Sal hitting towards the middle of the order in the future, but right now they need production everywhere and they have been getting very good production out of the number nine spot all year long and having Sal down there should only keep that going. He went on to say that with Sal down there he can drive in the sixth, seventh or eighth place hitters or get on base for the top of the order as well, so it is a good fit. Yost then said eventually he thinks Sal will move up in the order, but right now they have him hitting in the ninth spot and that is probably where he is going to stay for a while.
Jonathan Sanchez was the next topic and one reporter asked what will make him successful in tonight's start. Yost replied that he has to throw strikes and he has to keep his pitches in the zone while moving them around a bit. He said if Sanchez can command his fastball and stay in the zone he will be successful. Yost said nearly all year long his secondary pitches, such as his slider and split-finger fastball have been effective for him, so he just needs to locate his fastball. He went on to say he wants Sanchez to be productive and he thinks he will be tonight. He said he did it in Detroit in his last start and he is looking for another good one tonight.

I need a different 7mm wetsuit. Cant decide between the Henderson Aqualock or the Mares. Im thinking Mares. What is the difference in your opinion?
Both are wetsuits made using the newer blends of super-stretch neoprene and both are of very good quality. It comes down to a personal preference and fit. Use the sizing chart keeping mind to look at waist and chest measurements as the two most important measurements, then height as a secondary measurement.

Item # FRS0191
Don't worry though, we have a lot more 29-inch Suspension Forks in stock than that.View Similar Products
FOX Racing Shox 32 Float 29 100 FIT CTD Remote Fork $0.00
If you're riding a 29er, and you need to improve the efficiency of your ride, the Fox 32 Float 100 CTD Remote FIT 29 Fork quite literally puts that power into your hands. Its handlebar mounted remote makes on-the-fly suspension adjustments as easy as shifting, and both the tapered steerer tube and 15QR axle keeps your bike steering precisely. So, whether you're on a hardtail or a short travel XC bike, your suspension is completely under your control.
Like recent generations of Fox's Factory series forks, the Float 100 29 controls its stroke with the venerable FIT damper. As you may be aware, 'FIT' is an acronym, and it stands for Fox Isolated Technology. And, unlike a traditional open bath system, it means that the damper fluid is sealed in an air-tight bladder. This prevents contamination, while also improving the consistency of the damper during long descents.
Long-time Fox riders will immediately notice Fox's Climb, Trail, Descend damper adjustments. And there's no need to worry, you're still getting the same adjustments to high- and low-speed compression, only its now packaged in a more user-friendly format. Climb mode provides the most damping for a near locked-out feel. Meanwhile, it still provides a bit of cushion for any unexpected hard hits. Click the damper into the Trail mode, and you'll find that there's ample low-speed compression in order to keep the fork riding high in the travel through berms, jumps, and rocks. Better yet, it still provides plenty of compliance in order to smooth out the ride. Trail mode has three sub-settings that allow you to tune exactly how much feedback that you need from your suspension. And, as you may have guessed, Descend mode provides the lightest compression damping for a plush ride.
Additionally, this fork has a remote damper adjuster that mounts to your handlebars. Essentially, this gives you the power to adjust your suspension settings in order to accommodate changing trail conditions without having to take your hands off of the grips. Best of all, this option is presented in a way that makes each adjustment instinctive. So, you don't need a doctorate in fluid dynamics to choose the correct setting.
For added durability, the fork comes with Kashima-coated stanchions. And, in addition to being 100% 'gold-er' than the competition, Kashima coating is harder than standard stanchion coatings. That means longer wear life, as well as smoother suspension action.
The 32 chassis is something of a classic in the Fox lineup, and it's easy to see why. At just over three pounds, this fork is downright svelte. Better yet, it's strong enough to ride rough trails day-in and day-out. That's thanks in part to the massive tapered steerer tube, which fights flex, especially under hard braking. And speaking of stiffness, Fox uses Shimano's 15mm QR axle assembly, effectively providing both added stiffness and increased security over a traditional 9mm QR skewer.
The Fox 32 Float 100 CTD Remote FIT 29 Fork is available with a 29-inch wheel compatibility a 1.5-inch tapered steerer tube, and a 15mm QR. Additionally, the fork is available in the color Black.

Not a true fan for racers
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
For trail riding this fork is a great product. As a 100mm race fork the CTD is pointless. When I'm racing I don't want to take my hands off the bar to change the fork mode. I will say that fox upgraded my damper for free to a terralogic and it is much better for a racer. Fox does a few other things a little funny when it comes to 100mm "race" forks. They don't tune the forks to firm as I'd expect. Rather they tune it to "M". I think the CTD would be best for forks from 120mm and above.
i totally agree. i have the 100MM CTD and Im looking for another fork now.
What about the difference in climbing performance between the 100 and 120? How big a difference if any?
Jackhossross I don't know about the 120. Too much travel for me.

7th Annual Grand Daddy Drive-In - Grand National Roadster ShowWritten by on June 1, 2012 Contributors: SRM Staff More of a good thing
When trying to make a good thing better the obvious approach is to add more of whatever made it popular in the first place. When it came to improving the Grand National Roadster Show, promoter John Buck did just that by adding more cars to look at with the Grand Daddy Drive-In.
Basically the concept is an indoor show surrounded by an outdoor show, something made possible by SoCal's climate and the open space between the buildings housing the show cars. The benefits of this unique event are participants get VIP parking on the grounds, receive a dash plaque, goodie bag (pre-registered only), and admission to the show, and showgoers have several hundred more cars to look at. It's your basic win-win situation.
This year was the 63rd Grand National Roadster show and the 7th Grand Daddy Drive-In, and both keep getting better every year. Just goes to show you can never have too much of a good thing.

Population health is the brick and mortar foundation for much of what is truly new in US health reform: expanding healthy behaviors on a community-wide basis; around broadly defined, well-distributed measures of outcomes; in places beyond the institutional setting where care is actually delivered. For big Pharma, it represents yet another escalation in expectations. With the principles of population health firmly embedded in the Obama Administration's Affordable Care Act, drugs now need to do more than simply treat disease. Instead, they must perform a more holistic function in raising the quality of medical interventions, helping hospitals to save money, and keeping well people healthy while preventing sick people from regressing. The problem pharma faces is the lack of a policy consensus on what is population health: how can you execute against something you can't define?
PE: The School you founded here at Jefferson University is centered on the concept of population health. Can you define population health and explain how it relates to biopharmaceuticals?Nash: In a word, population health is a management tool designed to acknowledge and respond to the transformations taking place in our health system. It is a systematic approach to coordinating the preventive and chronic care needs of patients: to efficiently manage risk, promote full transparency of information, lower costs and improve health outcomes. We do this through active program interventions based on strong patient data analysis and the cultivation of close ties with community and social service organizations, professional groups – especially primary care providers – as well as hospitals and other institutions directly responsible for care, in both the acute and ambulatory settings. I believe population health management ranks as a true disruptive innovation; we are not defending "business as usual."
Jefferson University, which houses the School of Population Health launched in 2008 and where I currently serve as Dean, is a living illustration of this focused, integrated approach. There are 141 medical schools in the US, but few of them bear any resemblance to Jefferson. Jefferson is a graduate-level health sciences university, with six schools each representing the key stakeholders in the health care system – biologic science, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, allied health professions, and population health – all arrayed around one of the country's largest urban teaching hospitals, a major academic center in its own right.
PE: There appears to be an intimate link between population health and the broader social and economic environment in which health services are financed and delivered. This connection has often been ignored or downplayed by health researchers – but if we are moving toward an incentive system that rewards overall outcomes, isn't it time to shift the discussion on reform back toward the big picture?
How do we population health advocates respond to this statistic? We call a time out. Our message is "stop, think and find a better way to allocate resources and obtain more value for the money we spend on health services."

Residents must properly complete a move-out at the time they vacate any student housing unit and any time they move into a different space.
To complete a proper move-out, the resident must do the following:
- During periods NOT at the end of the semester, schedule a move-out appointment or request an express move-out with your area's front desk at least one business day in advance. This can be done by calling your area's office. (See phone numbers below.) Times can be arranged between 5pm – 8pm during the week and 12pm-4pm Saturday/Sunday.
- Remove all personal possessions from the unit and complete all cleaning prior to the scheduled move-out time.
- Work with roommates or personally clean entire living space. Your cleaning and damage charges are based off of conditions at time of move-out. If roommates will remain in the space it is imperative that the apartment/residence hall room is still cleaned for your move-out.
- Be present at the scheduled move-out time for a complete inventory of the apartment and its condition.
- Surrender all keys issued.
- Provide the Housing Office with a forwarding address.
- Sign the completed move-out form acknowledging the transfer of all appropriate keys.
- If you are leaving before your contract has completed, please submit a contract cancellation request (please note this is a request, and if denied you will remain financially responsible for your space). Just completing your move-out is not sufficient.

Well I thought most folks would be excited about the fact that Motorola is releasing an unlockable edition of the Droid RAZR, however that move is leaving a bad taste in their mouthes. While it does lend to the saying "give an inch, take a mile," I can honestly see why. Those that recently bought the locked RAZR feel slighted, bamboozled or hoodwinked in the release of this device; so much in fact that disgruntled Motorola users are joining forces and starting online petitions. These petitions are in an effort to raise awareness to Motorola's lack of follow through in regards to promises of unlocking bootloaders.
Operation: MOSH (Make Ourselves Heard) is out to raise awareness much like they did last year when they applied pressure to Motorola to unlock their bootloaders in the first place. Motorola promised to comply back in January of 2011, and again in April and also stated that we would see bootloaders unlocked on all their devices by the end of 2011. Given that we are almost through the first month of 2012 and we have yet to see an unlocked bootloader until now; people are frustrated that their devices are still locked up tighter than Fort Knox. The demands of this movement are quite basic. They are: Read more

I thought the original and Wolf busts were impressive but this one blows them out of the water, both in terms of size and detail. The shoulder cannon is especially cool.

Calgary, AB
the box is freakin Huge! the bust weight about 75lbs, all arrive in perfect condition, surprise all the dreads/quills are undamage, paints are okay, a little matt, some clear glossy a little touchup wont hurt, i can see this become a grail someday just like the P1 bust, 4/5 star
i dont even know what to say on this piece, it crushes everything. it makes my predator legendary scale bust look like a wal-mart toy. we had to take the legend maker out of the box to get it in the house. its all snow and ice up here wish i had a camera to show it.
— clint
I knew when this piece arrived, that the detail would be incredible...and it is. And after knowing what the measurements were, I knew it was gonna be a large piece. But it still shocked me when I saw it in person...make sure you have wide door frames, cuz this one is a MONSTER!!!

Stratos Product Development is teaming up with pathogen detection firm nanoMR to develop instrumentation for the latter's Pathogen Capture System (PCS). The platform uses an immunomagnetic capture process to isolate rare cell types including bacterial and fungal pathogens directly from blood or other samples for further phenotypic or molecular analysis. The system can target multiple cell types simultaneously, or specific cell types, such as circulating tumor cells or fetal cells, in less than 30 minutes.
Founded in 2007, nanoMR's first product will address the blood culture market. The platform is designed to recover microbial cells directly from blood and deliver purified microbial DNA within just 50 minutes for subsequent analysis using conventional methods such as PCR. The firm says this workflow will enable identification of a causative infectious agent in less than two hours.
nanoMR has brought Stratos on board to develop a cassette and processing system that will use up to 10 mL of blood sample, and generate an output of 50 microliters containing purified DNA. In addition to developing the instrument, Stratos will carry out product requirement definition, hardware and software design with ISO 13485 design controls, and manufacturing strategy and verification to support CE certification for clinical studies in Europe.
"Stratos' development expertise, combined with nanoMR's chemistry and research, creates an ideal team to deliver an optimal solution for the market," remarks Jim Macemon, vp of product development at nanoMR. "We have been impressed with Stratos' depth of engineering expertise, and their extensive portfolio in diagnostic instrument and medical device development has been invaluable to our effort."

Here for the University
Here in the Office of Development, our goal is to match donors with programs they want to support. We do this through:
Gift Planning
For this, our gift officers contact potential donors including individuals, foundations, and corporations to assess interest, and then we offer options for programs that match the donor's interest. We know about the programs at UIS and can lead you to the ones that interest you. We also know about the different ways that donors can make gifts–bequests, annuities, and other ways–and the best way to capitalizie on the tax benefits of giving.
Annual Giving
Each year, hundreds of people give to UIS as part of our annual giving campaigns.
- We hold events that bring donors together for information, inspiration, and some good old-fashioned fun.
- Through letters and emails, we share stories of students and programs at UIS which we hope will inspire giving.
- We also send out letters targeted to certain interest groups—UIS' Women's Center, athletic scholarships, and MSS, our program that prepares students of diversity to become teachers.
You're an important part of everything we do, and we want to work with you. Please remember that you can decide exactly how often you want us to contact you about possible giving options and about what programs. You can also decide for yourself how much you want to give—
Your interests. Your choices!

Oh, Evan Rachel Wood. As if you're the first one to wear a merkin. Anyone who is anyone has worn one. I'm wearing one right now! It's like a delicious secret I'm keeping with myself. A secret that I just told everyone about. But there can only be one best merkin. Take a look at some of these famous examples and choose your favorite. Also, be forewarned that there are merkins in this here merkins gallery, if you happen to be at work and they frown on such things on your computer screen.

Lawsuit against Sheriff's Office alleges wrongful arrest
Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 4:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 4:29 p.m.
A Morriston woman has filed suit against the Marion County Sheriff's Office alleging that she was wrongfully arrested in 2009.
On Jan. 14, 2009, Lilia Belkova was accused of shooting at a man who had reportedly done some work for her, a sheriff's report said.
When the man came to Belkova's house to ask for the money owed to him, Belkova went into her house to retrieve a handgun and then shot a round into the dirt in the man's direction, the report said.
Later, two deputies dispatched to the house said they saw Belkova run into her house as she saw the deputies were driving up. Deputies noticed that Belkova had picked up a gun from her dresser and was apparently loading it.
When the deputies approached the front door to the residence, Belkova pointed the gun at them, the report said. After several commands from the deputies to drop the gun, Belkova slowly lowered the weapon and threw it toward the deputies.
She was arrested and initially held on two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer with a firearm. Belkova pleaded no contest to a lesser charge, misdemeanor assault, and was sentenced to 60 days in the Marion County Jail.
She received credit for the time she served in jail between her arrest in December 2009 and her release on bond.
In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Ocala, Belkova alleges that the arrest was unlawful and constituted "police misconduct, wrongful seizure of the lawfully owned revolver, civil rights violations and tort."
Belkova, who is representing herself in the lawsuit against the Sheriff's Office, alleges that the deputies sneaked up to her "country home" even though she was "not involved in any unlawful activity."
She said the deputies failed to exercise reasonable care and common sense and arrested her without probable cause.
Belkova also accuses the deputies of malicious intent and negligence, which caused her injuries. She is demanding a jury trial.
Belkova's attorney in the assault case against her was reached, but not available for comment. The Sheriff's Office did not return a call for comment.

On your forum I find that I have to send you information about a possible bug. But, I am not even able to enter the code $set:debugtrace in the mail search box, because the error message blocks any activity.
The error report says: Cannot connect to server

Could it be that the error is related to a change I made in the name of the port (stmp address)?
Hope you can assist me.

I did mention it is usually best to rasterize your font before applying the layer style - in most cases this is a good idea.
Here's a side by side comparison of the Medieval font, the first is straight up font, the second has been rasterized and rippled:
If the first one suits your purposes, excellent! It's a nice effect as is, and subtle, but working at smaller sizes it could get lost. Experiment as you see fit.
An additional note, some fonts do not require the rippling anyhow. A lot of the grunge style fonts already have the rough edges we're after, so you can just work with them as is - for example, this font is called Webster:

Hi all,
I need to setup a shared mailboxes for several users, but I need that only one of these are able to delete messages.
Sharing with "visualization" right is a solution, but messages never appear as read, they remain unread.
How I can manage acls to grant to all users the read/replay/forward rights, the mark as read when someone open a mail capability, but making the entire mailbox readonly for everyone except the admin (= a specific user)?

Pingo, I'd buy powdered sugar, but since DH only does well with the coconut sugar I figured I'd try powdering it. The buttercream is smooth and creamy so I'm happy. He said they were the best cupcakes he's ever had, in fact! And, they don't give him a problem, most importantly. They aren't good for diabetes, though, I assume, although, I don't know the glycemic index of coconut vs cane or beet sugar.
Great idea to pack cruise snacks! TJ's has that fabulous snack wall with mixes of all yummy sorts; I shop it often for DH's work snacks.
Too bad your hip is acting up, now of all times!! I hope you can rest it and do the therapy exercises enough to get it back under control pronto.

Born on May 24, 1965, and raised in a working-class neighborhood on Chicago's South Side, Reilly became interested in theater early on and debuted in his first stage production at the age of eight. As a teen, he migrated between school cliques, but felt most at home in school plays and regional theatres - with his older brothers "taking care of" anyone who had a problem with their kid brother singing in musicals. After graduating from an all-boys Catholic school, Reilly was accepted into Chicago's DePaul University, home of the famed Goodman School of Drama.

Now select your Texture layer again, and click the Layer Styles button, which is circled in yellow in the following screenshot. From the drop-down box, choose Bevel and Emboss...
Now you can play with the settings to get just the texture you want. You'll want to set the Highlight color to a light green and the Shadow color to a very dark green. The Contrast value you chose when applying the Grain filter will strongly influence what settings work well here. A lower contrast grain will probably look better with an Inner Bevel style, while the higher contrast that I used works best with an Outer Bevel.
Here's what my texture looks like at this point, filling the entire document:
Go ahead and flatten the image at this point and rename the resulting layer "Forest." Then click the "Add Vector Mask" button.
Click once on the white rectangle that appeared in the Layers window and use the Paint Bucket to fill the mask with black. Your forest will vanish, leaving an apparently blank document.
Switch to the Channels window (Window > Channels if the tab is not visible next to the Layers window tab), and click on the Forest Mask channel. Now, using a large white brush, paint on the mask. Everywhere you paint white, the forest texture will reappear. Painting black will hide it again.
You can use the technique of your choice to roughen up the edges. I like the Spatter filter. Filter > Brush Strokes > Spatter. Remember that you want to roughen the edges of the mask channel, not the texture layer itself.

BARBERTON -- A Norton woman whose head was stuck in a machine in Barberton was taken to the hospital with serious injuries late Monday night.
Police say it happened at J&R Engineering close to 11 p.m. Monday.
Monica Thayer, 25, is in intensive care Tuesday night after a that freak accident at her job.
She was starting just her fifth day of work at J&R Engineering in Barberton when the unthinkable happened.
"Some girl looks like she got her head crushed in the machine," said a 9-1-1 caller from the scene.
Barberton Fire Department emergency crews spent 20 minutes removing her hair and scalp from an automotive machine and took her via LifeFlight to Akron General Hospital.
"It literally pulled all of her hair out, from the back, the sides, the front, and pulled her forehead. It was just horrendous," said Mary Thayer, Monica's mom.
Mary Thayer works the same job on the same machine.
"I can't understand how it happened. Why it happened," she said. "God was with her because she survived it."
Mary says no one would have ever expected an accident like this to happen.
"She was learning the job good, but apparently she didn't learn all of the safety," said Mary Thayer.
Monica had her hair in a ponytail without a hairnet, the same way that Mary says she and others have worn for years.
"I've never seen anybody in the shop wear a helmet or a hard hat," she said.
Mary says Monica is expected to survive but there's a long road to recovery, starting with a reattachment surgery Tuesday morning.
Then other cosmetic procedures could follow.
Doctors tell Mary that Monica may never look the same, but she seems to have avoided more serious brain injuries.
"It's going to be hard for her, yeah," said Mary.
Barberton Fire Chief Kim Baldwin said he did a preliminary investigation Tuesday and it appears all safety functions were working properly.
He's now handed the investigation over to OSHA. Kathy Mefford, a spokesperson for J&R Engineering, would not comment on the incident.
J&R Engineering specializes in high-volume production of difficult precision components for various industries, including automotive. They sell products to companies that include Ford, Lockheed Martin and the United States government.

text: I don't know if this subject has been discussed before and I know it probably doesn't do a whole lot for hair loss but I've been taking 2 capsules for a while now daily and I used to take them after eating. Recently I visited my dr and she said that you actually get more potential from fish oil capsules if you take them before sleeping at night. She said that your body is at rest and the supplement can work the best then. Just wanted to share and also wondered for anyone who takes this supplement, if they have heard this before...thanks for your time.

Ultimate Racing - Buyer BewareWritten by on October 16, 2012 Buying a Used Race Car Can Be Overwhelming, Unless You Know What to Look For
Buying a race car is not an easy purchase. Sure, you find a car, give a complete stranger a lot of money, and you end up with a car. Beyond the actual transaction, unless you spend a lot of time inspecting each candidate, you could end up with a big can of worms. Race cars, especially circle track cars, live in a brutally harsh environment. These cars take a beating every week, and in the lower ranks, they don't always get fixed properly when things break (how many of us learned to weld trying to fix our race cars?)
Buying a new-to-you race car can be a whirlwind of emotions. The excitements of picking up a new car (especially if you're moving to a new class), coupled with the daydreams of everything you're going to change to make it your own, and who you're going to thank when you win your first feature can act as blinders, causing you to miss major red flags or issues that may cost you lots of time and money to fix before you ever get on track. Tunnel vision may not be an issue for the seasoned vet who's been racing for 30 years, but for the newer or younger racers with much less experience, here are few things to keep in mind before handing over your hard-earned money.
The Circle Track staff recently picked up a used Pro Cup car. Our Ford Fusion is a solid piece! It's a Hess chassis with a Tiger quick-change rearend, AP Racing brakes, full fuel system, ignition, fire system, airbox, brake ducts, dry-sump tank, two driveshafts, full containment seat, a set of springs, two exhaust systems, multiple sets of headers, and a bunch of wheels and tires.
These cars take a beating every week, and in the lower ranks, they don't always get fixed properly when things break (how many of us learned to weld trying to fix our race cars?)
Depending on your location, the shape of the equipment, and how motivated the seller is, a similar setup can be bought for anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000. But there is a lot to keep in mind. Your driver most likely won't fit in the seat, so now you need a seat. The rearend will most likely need to be rebuilt; the brakes will need to be inspected, and parts may need to be replaced; depending on your engine combination, the headers may be useless; and at some point the additional parts may not add any additional value.
Research is key. If you're looking to buy a car built by a reputable chassis builder, they will have records of the chassis and any service they have done. In our case, we gave the guys at Hess Racing Products a call, gave them the chassis number, and found out some useful info. They informed us that our chassis was built on September 16, 2003. We were concerned about having an older chassis, but the HRP crew assured us that it was OK, as there wasn't much difference in the geometry from what we had, compared to a new chassis. They also gave us a number of locations to check for work that may have been done, that we weren't informed about. It was obvious our chassis had recently received a rear clip, but they were able to tell us that the car was recently checked on the chassis jig and the car is straight.
02. When it comes to the chassis, look for obvious signs like bent framerails or replaced front or rear clips. Tell tale signs are new paint or different shade of paint, or a design that doesn't resemble the original builders design. Gusseting or patches like the diamond shown here can also be signs that a clip has been replaced. A clipped car isn't a deal breaker. Many times, if the clip is done right, especially on an older chassis, the new clip may have improved geometry, which will make it a better car. Always check with the chassis builder for any info on the chassis.
03. Next, the suspension pick up points should be checked. Being that these are direct connections from the suspension to the chassis, they can take a beating. Check for crack or bends. Our Hess Pro Cup car has a slight bend in the lower A-arm mount, but the crew at Hess Racing Products informed us that it's a normal occurrence, and the geometry isn't affected in any way.
07. Using the straightedge, check the drag link setup for bends. Small bends can affect steering performance. Turn the steering from lock to lock and be sure the steering is smooth without binding. When inspecting the steering components, make sure to check for play or slop in all of the rod ends, ball joints, idler arms, steering box, or rack. Anywhere there is play could signal that particular component is on its way out.
11. A fire suppression system is a great thing to have. Even if a car comes with it, this is one of those things that you are better off replacing before you hit the track. Our bottle said it was still full, but we know the car had been sitting for a couple of years, and if there was ever a fire, you wouldn't want to gamble with an old, untested system.
Check all of the suspension pick-up points for bends, cracks, or rust. Any signs of failure need to be fixed before going on track. Beyond the obvious, any variations from the original mounting points will change the suspension geometry. Measuring everything is key here because the right changes will improve handling, but the wrong ones can cause major handling issues.
Beyond the chassis, go through all of the various systems with a fine-tooth comb. Subtle things can tip you off to larger problems. Check things like fluids. Old, nasty oil, transmission fluid, or rusty water with stop-leak in the radiator can all be signs of neglects or lack of maintenance. Brakes are another big area to pay attention to. Check the brake pads and rotors for wear. Check all of the brakes lines for kinks, and the fittings for leaks. Check the brake fluid, as old, dirty fluid will not perform as well as fresh fluid. In fact, you should change all of the fluids regardless of how they look. There is no way to know how long the fluids have been in the car and how many laps are on them.
There are a thousand other things to check and look at, and we simply don't have the room to hit everything here. It comes down to common sense. Look at as much as possible, ask as many questions as you can, dig for as much info as possible.
There are a thousand other things to check and look at, and we simply don't have the room to hit everything here. It comes down to common sense. Look at as much as possible, ask as many questions as you can, dig for as much info as possible. Your new car should be entirely stripped and all components inspected before the season starts, or before racing it the first time. The more informed you are, the better decisions you'll make, and you'll end up with a better race car!

<strong> 04. </strong>Using a straightedge is a great way to determine if suspension components are bent. Check the A-arms and trailing arms, as well as the mounts.<strong> 05. </strong>Check all of the welds for cracks. Also, check the greasable joints for dirt and debris.<strong> 06. </strong>The steering system is also easy to check. Check for leaks, old fluid, and any damage to the steering box.<strong> 08. </strong> A thorough onceover can also uncover issues. Our Pro Cup car's dry sump tank had a wire ripped out of the sending unit for the oil temp gauge. While not a major problem, small issues can add up, becoming a lot of work and money to fix.<strong> 09. </strong>The fuel system is another good area to inspect. In our case, we have the fuel cell and dry brake to inspect. While this isn't a complicated system, ensure all of the components are in good operating condition.<strong> 10. </strong>While inspecting the inlet to the dry brake, we found a crack that's about 3 inches long. Even though this doesn't affect how the dry brake works, over time the crack can grow, especially if pit stop fueling is a normal occurrence.<strong> 15. </strong>Brakes are extremely important, and should be checked thoroughly. Surface rust can be a bad sign, but looks can be deceiving also. We were worried about our braking system upon first inspection, but we were pleasantly surprised. Look for more info on the brakes in an future issue of CT.
<strong> 17. </strong>Take a good look at the master cylinders. Check for leaks, and check the fluid. Old nasty fluid can be sign of brake problems, and broken down fluid will reduce performance.<strong> 18. </strong>The rearend can be expensive to replace. Check as much as possible. Put a straightedge on the tubes to check for straightness, look at the gears, check the axles, and look at the fluid. Rearend issues are fairly easy to spot if you know what to look for.

Kim Kardashian, PRIVATE For Once?!

posted Jan 31 2013 7:03AM
PANIC HAS SET IN! Yesterday we reported that Lindsay Lohan was trying to get out of her court appearance by saying that she was sick with the flu and couldn't fly… but there were pictures of her shopping in New York City the same day she supposedly went to the doctor. And guess what, Lindsay Lohan wound up showing up in court! She took the last flight out of JFK with her mother to Los Angeles after being warned that she would be a wanted woman if she was a no-show in court. And according to my sources, after the pictures of her were posted online looking happy and healthy she went into a panic because if the pictures added up, a warrant would indeed be issued for her arrest if she didn't show. So what happened in court? Well, nothing except for a trial date being set. Lindsay wants this to be over as soon as possible and a date for a pretrial hearing has been set for March 1
and the official trial date for March 18
Rihanna finally putting an end to why she got back together with Chris Brown. Posting intimate pictures of the two of them weren't enough, we all wanted to know HOW and WHY she would forgive him for assaulting her. Well, Rihanna says that she decided to be with Chris Brown again because it was more important for her to be happy and she wasn't going to let anyone's opinion get in the way of that. "Even if it's a mistake, it's
mistake," she says. "After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I'd rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it." She gets that people have negative opinions about it but swears he is a different person now and they don't argue anymore, they value each other. You can't help who you love right?
Are Alec Baldwin and wife Hilaria Thomas expecting? My sources are saying yes but the two refuse to give an answer. The couple's rep tweeted the following statement regarding the rumors, "Our response to baby speculation over the past 18 months has remained the same," the statement said. "When/if Alec and Hilaria have news they want to share, they will share it. Until then, no comment." That sounds like a more than likely yes to me and Alec Baldwin has been very open about being a stay at home dad that makes pancakes for his kids. Can you imagine that? Alec Baldwin, stay at home dad?!
Your favorite television show may be coming to an end! It's good and bad news at the same time. The good news, How I Met Your Mother has been renewed for another season! The bad news, it will be the last season! It's been eight years and the producers think it's time to wrap everything up. And yes, the most mysterious mother on television will be revealed, but not until the very end!
ver wonder what a day in a life with Kesha would be like? I think we all think of partying, drinking and garbage bags. Well, we're about to find out! Kesha has a tv show coming! NOT KIDDING! She will be starring in an MTV documentary series called
Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life, and it's
set to premiere in April. Kesha shot the show over two years ago and it was when she was writing her second album, Warrior. I'm sure we will be seeing a lot of glitter and paint too…
When you think Alicia Keys, the first thing that probably comes to mind is great singer right? How about a creative director? Well, guess what! Blackberry has announced that Alicia Keys has been named the company's new global creative director! Her new BlackBerry duties will include working "closely with app developers, content creators, retailers, carriers and the entertainment community to further shape and enhance the BlackBerry 10 platform, and inspire creative use through its remarkable capabilities and functionality." Look at her shaping their brand and hers and growing business!
And don't get ready to see Kim Kardashian's baby any time soon after she gives birth! She and her whole family may love being on television and hogging the spotlight but when it comes to her kid, Kim says that she and Kanye doesn't think their baby will be shown on any of her reality shows. Instead, when the child is old enough they can decide what they want to do on their own. She wants to keep it as private as possible. Does this sound like Kim Kardashian to you? I think this is ALL Kanye putting her in her place. The impossible has been done!
