Welcome Week begins on Friday, August 26, 2016 and runs through the first week of classes. Welcome Week is full of activities to help you get to know your Purchase College Home.
We know that students who attend Welcome Week events are more confident when they start classes because they meet new friends, explore academic and co-curricular opportunities, navigate campus and learn about the Purchase College Community.
Most students entering college directly from High School are considered Freshmen. Students who have taken courses for credit after completion of High School are considered Transfers.
However, at Purchase College, there are some circumstances where those rules do not apply!
For Example:
Dance, Film, Theatre Design/Technology, and Acting students who have taken college classes AFTER completion of High School are considered Freshmen. These programs are 4-year programs at Purchase College and thus anyone entering the program will thus start with their 1st year.

If the nation's institutions for health care and education are to deal successfully with the challenges identified in chapter 1, significant weaknesses in these services must be overcome. These problems impede optimal mental and physical development of the individual from the time of conception to initial stable employment or secure enrollment in post-secondary education/training.
There are five factors external to both the individual and the two sets of institutions. They can interpose substantial additional deterrents to physical and mental development. These are (1) economic status, especially poverty and parent unemployment or nonparticipation in the labor force; (2) neighborhood environments, particularly economically depressed and/or crime- or drug-ridden areas; (3) the plague of homelessness, wherein child and adult acquaintances are out of the economic and/or behavioral mainstream; (4) family structure that is disintegrating or fragmented, including parental death, separation, divorce, or desertion, and unmarried motherhood and consequent female-headed family and/ or household; and (5) parents and peers who are uncaring, abusive, or discouraged and who place a low value on, or disparage, educational achievement and good health practices.
For children, the incidence of poverty in a geographic or an employment context is often similar. The combination of economic disadvantage at home and growing up in a neighborhood where the cultural home-school-peer and surrounding environment discourages schooling, work, and societally legal or otherwise acceptable behavior can easily be disastrous. The noneconomic environmental factors are examined subsequently, but the following data include separate summations of poverty in general and its geographically concentrated incidence.

Additional Details
The bleak shall inherit -- Shrimp -- Isn't it romantic? -- The satisfying crunch of dreams underfoot -- Dark meat -- On juicy -- A capacity for wonder -- I feel dirty -- All the time we have -- Another shoe.
The inimitably witty David Rakoff defends the commonsensical notion that you should always assume the worst, because you'll never be disappointed. In this deeply funny (and, no kidding, wise and poignant) book, Rakoff examines the realities of our sunny, everyone-can-be-a-star contemporary culture and finds that, pretty much as a universal rule, the best is not yet to come, adversity will triumph, justice will not be served, and your dreams won't come true. Whether he's lacerating the musical Rent for its cutesy depiction of AIDS or dealing with personal tragedy, his sharp observations and humorist's flair for the absurd will have you positively reveling in the power of negativity.--From publisher description.

Half Empty-- great read
Rakoff is an excellent writer. His prose is somewhat heavy, not allowing for decent skimming, but it is worth it to take the extra time and read Rakoff's sentences slowly. Rakoff's humor sneaks up on you—he isn't broad, but I found myself reading a sentence and laughing aloud on more than one occasion. Though a few of the essays moved a little slowly (the first one was actually the hardest one for me to get through), all are worth reading.
The final essay in the book, "Another Shoe" is absolutely phenomenal, and if you don't have time to read the entire book, it's worth buying or borrowing just for the single essay. It takes the reader through Rakoff's discovery of a tumor in his arm, his fears that the arm will need to be amputated, and his thoughts on the struggle with cancer. And, I don't want to spoil anything, but the final sentence of the essay made me look at the entire book in a new light.

The Toronto stock market was little changed Thursday, held back by gold stocks that fell alongside bullion prices following the U.S. Federal Reserve's latest move and data showing strong U.S. economic growth.
The S&P/TSX composite index edged up 4.2 points to 13,647.42 while the Canadian dollar was up 0.1 of a cent to 89.56 cents (U.S.).
New York indexes advanced amid data showing U.S. growth coming in at an annualized rate of 3.2 per cent, which was broadly in line with expectations. The reading was slightly lower than the 4.1 per cent rate registered in the July-September period. But for all of 2014, analysts are more optimistic with many forecasting GDP growth of three per cent or better.
The Dow Jones industrials rose 35.01 points to 15,773.8 following a 190-point slide Wednesday, the Nasdaq climbed 48.37 points to 4,099.8 and the S&P 500 index was ahead 12.36 points to 1,786.56.
The Fed said Wednesday that it was cutting its bond purchases by another $10-billion (U.S.) to $65-billion a month. It was the central bank's second such move to cut back on the stimulus credited for keeping long-term rates low and encouraging a rally on stock markets.
Markets have been rattled since last May, when outgoing chairman Ben Bernanke first mentioned the possibility of the central bank starting to taper its asset purchases as the U.S. economy improved.
But the cuts have also had the effect of drawing money out of many emerging markets, which in turn has put pressure on currencies in countries such as India, South Africa, Russia and particularly Turkey.
Investors have also been focused on fourth-quarter earnings and outlooks over the past couple of weeks on hopes that a strong corporate showing will help stock prices advance further. Last year, Fed easing helped the S&P 500 charge ahead about 30 per cent.
On Thursday, Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan said its fourth-quarter profit dropped 45 per cent from a year ago to $230-million (U.S.) or 26 cents a share as it took hits from lower fertilizer prices and an 18 per cent cut to its workforce. Revenue fell to $1.54-billion from $1.64-billion a year ago. Revenue was above the consensus estimate of $1.4-billion while earnings were below the general estimate of 31 cents per share and its shares lost $1.30 to $34.28 (Canadian).
Imperial Oil Ltd. reported it had $1.056-billion of net income in the fourth quarter, down slightly from a year earlier. The profit amounted to $1.24 per share, well above analyst estimates of 89 cents per share under standard accounting and its shares headed up 28 cents to $48.07.
In the U.S., industrial conglomerate 3M reported that fourth-quarter earnings rose 11 per cent to $1.1-billion or $1.62 a share, which meet expectations. Sales at the maker of Scotch tape, Nexcare bandages and Post-it Notes rose 2.5 per cent to $7.57-billion, missing estimates of $7.71-billion and its shares lost three per cent.
Royal Dutch Shell plans to slash capital spending and stop drilling for oil in the Arctic Circle as the company reported a sharp drop in fourth quarter earnings. Net profit was $1.78-billion, down 74 per cent from a year ago while production was down five per cent.
The industrials sector led advancers, up 0.8 per cent ahead of earnings from Canadian National Railways after the close. It is expected to earn 77 cent per share in adjusted profits in the fourth quarter, up from 71 cents per share in the prior year. Revenues were forecast to grow 8.6 per cent to $2.75-billion and its shares were ahead 30 cents to $58.38 (Canadian).
The energy sector was ahead 0.46 per cent while March crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange rose $1.12 to $98.48 (U.S.) a barrel.
Tech stocks were also strong with CGI Group up 92 cents to $34.39.
Financials also advanced with Manulife Financial ahead 21 cents to $20.71 (Canadian).
The gold sector fell three per cent while February bullion lost $21.50 to $1,240.70 (U.S.) an ounce. Barrick Gold faded 74 cents to $21.09 (Canadian) while Goldcorp shed 87 cents to $26.77.
Metal prices were lower with March copper down a cent to $3.23 (U.S.) a pound and the base metals sector was down 0.3 per cent.
European bourses were also lower as London's FTSE 100 index lost 0.26 per cent while Frankfurt's DAX and the Paris CAC 40 were down 0.3 per cent.Report Typo/Error

Richmond's Round Church gets special postmarkJuly 29,2013The Associated Press
RICHMOND - A special postmark will be offered to mark the bicentennial of the Round Church in the Vermont town of Richmond.

***In Lexington, the CW is channel 117 (digital cable), 384 (satellite), 914 (HD).***
Back in the 'real' universe, Lois quickly realizes the imposter. She enlists Emil's (Alessandro Juliani) assistance in repairing the one device that can bring her love back home again. Unlike other incarnations of Superman, where Lois is a fiercely independent woman who doesn't 'need' Clark, this Lois has known him since his geeky days, and understands the role they play in each other's lives. It does not detract from her strength to be so bonded to Clark. Rather, it makes them both more complex, interesting individuals as they balance the duality of individualism with their romance. Smallville shows this better than any other version of the story told before. This may be the closest look at Lois and Clark's relationship ever shown on screen.
Clark Luthor has come to the commonly considered standard reality to find Lionel Luthor (John Glover), his adopted father, who escaped to this side months ago, and kill him. It is a really well illustrated example of nurture winning out over nature. Yet, while Clark Luthor does not accomplish his wicked goal, Clark Kent sees something in his counterpart that may be redeemable. When Clark Luthor is sent back to his universe in the Fortress, it appears he may finally consider Jor-El's (Terence Stamp) wisdom. Even after everything that has happened, a good father figure, as well as a peek into what might have been, could still save his soul. If nothing else, it's a comforting idea. And a reminder that Superman is, at his core, optimistic.
Caught up in Clark Luthor's games is his half sister, Tess (Cassidy Freeman). Recently realizing she is a Luthor, and struggling over how to deal with her biological father, Lionel, Clark Luthor tells Tess she must help him kill their daddy, or face death herself. She pretends to go along with Clark's wishes, but betrays him, almost resulting in her death. Thanks to a timely rescue, which is never assured so close to a series' end, Tess will breathe for at least another week.
The fact that Tess chose good shows a real character development for her. Ever since her introduction, she has straddled the line between good and evil, much as Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) used to. As his replacement, that is appropriate. But she is making the opposite decision than her brother did. While Tess's ultimate loyalty may still be up in the air, it seems likely she will stick to the right choice.
Tess, more than anyone, is not given her due. She is a complicated person, with deeply dark hues. Freeman is an excellent actress, managing to do much with what little she is given. With only four weeks left, Tess will be the one character that provides the least satisfaction. She could be taken so much further than she will be. Freeman deserves much gratitude from the fan base for her contribution to the show.

George W. Bush's Religious Guru Plans Our Future
Menendez, Albert J., The Humanist
Marvin Olasky is a professor of journalism at the University of Texas and author of more than a dozen books about history and politics. He is outspoken in his self-identification as a former atheist turned fundamentalist Presbyterian. His previous books have ridiculed twentieth-century welfare policy and the abortion rights movement. He much prefers the harsher, more religion-saturated approach of nineteenth-century evangelicals, who linked "charity" to the "truly needy" and to those who needed moral reformation and conversion to evangelical Christianity. Like many romantic conservatives or pseudoconservatives, Olasky glamorizes previous eras of history, which he sees as a golden age.
His skewed framework of values can be discerned in a 1999 book The American Leadership Tradition: Moral Vision from Washington to Clinton, in which he argues that the greatness of U.S. presidents depends almost solely on "religious beliefs and sexual morality"--a crabbed vision rejected by most historians. Does any rational person actually think that Rutherford B. Hayes and Calvin Coolidge were better presidents than Franklin Delano Roosevelt or John F. Kennedy just because the pious Republicans were teetotalers and faithful to their wives?
Olasky recently labeled journalists as soulless and godless individuals. He disparages women in the journal Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, writing:
God does not forbid women to be leaders in society ... but when that occurs it's usually because of the abdication of men, as in the situation of Deborah and Barak, there's a certain shame attached to it.
Perhaps Margaret Thatcher and Golda Meier would dissent from that view.
These quirky views would hardly cause a ripple of interest if it weren't for the fact that Olasky's greatest fan is Texas Governor George W. Bush, the GOP's presidential candidate for the 2000 elections. Bush's entire political philosophy--such as it is--is, by his definition, something he calls compassionate conservatism. What he means by this murky concept is largely spelled out in Marvin Olasky's new book, Compassionate Conservatism (The Free Press, $24.00).
Bush's foreword hails the idea that only religion-based charities can provide meaningful change in people's lives and thus can and should be supported by government funds. Bush calls for "a government that helps organizations of all faiths."
Olasky's book is mostly the recollections of a journey he and his fourteen-year-old son Daniel took to investigate "faith-based" enterprises around the country. Since Olasky doesn't believe in the Constitution's First Amendment, he thinks it is perfectly acceptable for government to fund religious charities and "life-changing" groups, even if proselytism and evangelism are carried out on the premises. …

Shedding Some Light on a Dark Oeuvre
The Belgian brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne are among the most acclaimed international film makers. Two of their films, "Rosetta" (1999) and "L'Enfant" (2005), won the Palme d'Or, the highest honor at the Cannes Film Festival; only five other directors have won the esteemed award twice. All of their movies submitted to that festival in the past 13 years have won one of the major prizes. But their latest movie, "The Kid With a Bike," which won the Grand Prix at Cannes in 2011 and opens in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, is a departure for them: It features sunlight.
Many of their films, which they write, produce and direct, have been shot either mostly indoors or at night. And several that involve the outdoors, such as "Rosetta," take place in the gray of the colder months. This time, the directors said, they had to choose sunny backdrops appropriate to Cyril, their 11-year-old lead character. "It was on purpose," a laughing Luc Dardenne said, in French, during a phone interview with the two brothers last month (Dominique Borel served as translator). "We filmed in sunlight to show Cyril's nature much more clearly."
Both the youth of their protagonist and the bright settings may be unusual for the Dardennes, but Cyril (played by Thomas Doret) shares traits with many other characters from recent movies by the brothers. Cyril, who was abandoned by his father in an orphanage, searches for that parent with a near-feral intensity, trailed first by officials from the institution and then by Samantha, a hairdresser who becomes the boy's weekend guardian. In his obsessive pursuit, Cyril bears striking similarities to Rosetta, the title character of the Dardennes' earlier film, who fights, often literally, to get and keep a job.
The brothers' movies are typically set in small Belgian towns and their characters are on the economic margins, but the films focus on the ambition of their principals. "They all have to stay standing and keep going forward," Jean-Pierre Dardenne said. "Otherwise they believe that their world would fall apart." He said that in the new movie, "Cyril's drive to find his father is the obsession that not only drives him, but it saves him." Much the same could be said about the plots in some of the brothers' other films. "The Dardennes' gift for shattering simplicity still seems akin to magic," wrote Joe Morgenstern in this paper.
Luc Dardenne explained that the idea for the new film began 10 years ago. The brothers were visiting Japan when "one of the youth judges told us the story of a boy in the Tokyo suburbs who was abandoned by his father, then committed a murder." His brother added, "That gave us the trajectory of the story; we wanted to show that love is stronger than violence in raising a child."
Jean-Pierre, 60, and Luc, 58, were born in Liège, a province in the predominantly French-speaking region where many of their movies are set. They created a production company, Derives, in 1975 and made more than 50 documentary and industrial movies before turning their attention to feature films. Their first such forays, "Falsch" (1987) and "Je Pense à Vous" (1992), are obscure. (Luc Dardenne has described them as "unfortunate adventures.") The brothers first won international acclaim for "La Promesse" (1996), a movie about the son of a landlord who takes on the responsibility of caring for a family whose breadwinner dies because of his father's negligence. It established the filmmakers' continuing theme of managing burdens. Their characters' stoic acceptance of those burdens and their single-minded drive have become the Dardennes' trademarks. Their movies often feature tracking shots of their characters from behind.
"I think it's a great way to portray people absorbed in their thoughts," Jean- Pierre said of the technique. He noted that it draws the viewers into his characters' obsessions and "it leaves an element of suspense and shows the intensity of their solitude." Luc added that the technique highlights the movement of a character whether on foot or, as in the current case, on a bicycle.
The brothers said that their working method involves lots of talking before Luc writes a draft, and then they continue to discuss and revise all the way through the completion of the screenplay, the shooting of the movie and its editing. Often during the interview, one would add to the other's stories, seeming as if they spoke with one unified voice.
"How could it not?" Luc said. "After so many years and so many stories, we are drawing from similar experiences."

I have MRSA in my lumbar spine. On April 30, 2013. I prepared for surgery washed neck down with antiseptic soap for 5 days,including that morning that changed my life. I will be on antibiotic until April, 30, 2015. Plus there is NO assurance that it will not come back any time in the future with surgery I might need again to stabilize my vertebra s because this germ has eaten 2 away, I lost over 2 inches in height, My orthopedic surgeon and infectious disease specialist I see now every 2 months till April hope they will grow together without surgical metal so I can ride in a car without pain over every bump in the road, pain with everything I try to be a normal retired registered nurse that worked over 30 years helping others. So we're so many breaks in healthcare from the doctors to housekeeping. My brain just woke up last month, I have been in a fog mentally. My lab tests still are not normal, indicates it is still fighting, Thank God. I was near death twice and had several blood culture positive for MRSA each time I required surgery (3 times) to remove dead tissue and pus. My last job was communicable disease coordinator of St Clair County in Michigan. I was on the hospital Infection Control Committee for three hospitals I never thought this would happen to me. I am angry because I should be traveling in a motor home across America, which we can't because of medical costs and I can't ride sitting up long enough. Plus I need to be close to my doctors. If there was a way to spread the importance of the basic hand washing and infection control practices to stop the spread of this disease!!!!
Preventing MRSA in healthcare – Is there a silver bullet? (Part 2 of 3)Posted on by
Author: Martin Evans, MD
Director of the VHA MRSA/MDRO Program
MRSA hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) cause increased suffering, the need for increased procedures, treatments, and time in the hospital, and sometimes an increased risk of death among patients. Beginning in 2002, staff working at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare system successfully brought down MRSA HAIs using a "bundle" of infection control strategies. In 2007, VA leadership in Central Office, Washington, D.C. decided to have all 153 medical centers nationwide implement the bundle.
The "MRSA bundle" consisted of gently swabbing the nose of all patients admitted or transferred within the hospital to detect those carrying MRSA (known as universal active surveillance); preventing spread of the organism by placing those with MRSA in their own room away from those not carrying the organism; insisting that healthcare workers do hand hygiene and wear gloves and gowns when caring for the patient, and striving for a culture change where infection prevention and control becomes everyone's responsibility.
From October 2007, when the MRSA Prevention Initiative was fully implemented nationwide though June 2010 (when we ended our analysis), patients spent more than 8 million days in VA hospitals, and more than 1.7 million swabs were done. This was 96% of all swabbing opportunities. VA healthcare providers brought MRSA HAIs down 62% from a two-year baseline in our 196 ICUs, and down 45% in our 428 non-ICUs. This was an estimated decrease of more than 1,000 MRSA HAIs in the ICUs over what would have been expected given the trend before 2007.
The thoroughness of active surveillance and the rapidity of results (sometimes available before patients were admitted from the Emergency Department), gave infection control personnel what they needed to keep the organism from spreading in their hospitals. The constant opportunities for active surveillance and need to act on the results probably kept infection control high on everyone's list of priorities and drove a system-wide culture change, where healthcare workers began to appreciate infection prevention and control more and made the fight against MRSA HAIs their own mission. This had not occurred to such an extent before the MRSA Prevention Initiative even though programs were in place to emphasize hand hygiene, isolate properly, and prevent device-associated ICU infections.
Does your institution do active surveillance for MRSA?

Yes it is and it is i lost my father in 2003, and His case was very concerning to hospital and quality control. They lied and denied facts that i have found out from medical records and do to extreme unforeseen issues i have with out a doubt will say a conspiracy developed from hospital quality control and patient rights were so clearly wronged, and the health and safety of many other put at risk. I am still waiting to tell the truth and not for any other reason but to stop the lying and denying that this super bug is not just a problem aqurired from a hospital.

Charity. What (who) gives?
Wincoder replied on
"This attitude is in fact so entrenched that governments use charity as an excuse to cut social services, expecting charities and societies to take on responsibilities which actually belong to the government. Actually working with the subjects of charity, instead of patronizing them, requires work."
Charity is a part of personal responsibility to my brethren. Charitable giving is actually beneficial to both people since it fosters community and virtue in the person giving and helps the person receiving. As soon as charity is mandated it is no longer charity. Stop asking the government to be charitable with everyone else's assets and resources as it is not a suitable substitute.
Very insightful
Chrematisai replied on
Your categorizations of "good cripple" and "noble poor" vs real people, are very insightful. It's hugely problematic that those on the giving end expect those on the receiving end of charity to behave in a certain way in order to "deserve" said charity. That sort of defeats the purpose of giving in the first place. Honestly, if the sole reason that one is being generous at all is to get that warm fuzzy feeling, one should reassess one's motivations and priorities.

What the numbers are showing us
How average people are building great wealth
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of approximately $53.4 million
from the sale of the shares of common stock offered in this offering, or
approximately $61.8 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment
option in full after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and
estimated offering expenses payable by us.
The principal purposes of this offering are to increase our financial
flexibility, create a public market for our common stock and to facilitate our
access to the public equity markets. We currently expect to use the net
proceeds from this offering as follows:
. $8.0 million as partial payment for a reduction in the royalty rate payable
by us pursuant to the amendment to our license agreement with Gen-Probe;
. $6.0 million in payments to Gen-Probe upon achievement of certain revenue
. approximately $18.0 million for the commercialization of our Atlas Detection
Assays; and
. approximately $12.0 million for research and development activities,
including the continued development and enhancement of our molecular assay
portfolio and the development of the mini Atlas instrument.
We expect to use the remainder of the net proceeds from this offering for
working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the costs of
operating as a public company. Although we currently anticipate that we will
use the net proceeds from this offering as described above, there may be
circumstances where a reallocation of funds is necessary. The amounts and
timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including
our sales and marketing and commercialization efforts, demand for our products,
our operating costs and the other factors. Accordingly, our management will
have flexibility in applying the net proceeds from this offering. An investor
will not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other
information on which we base our decisions on how to use the proceeds.
Although we may use a portion of the net proceeds of this offering for the
acquisition or licensing, as the case may be, of additional technologies, other
assets or businesses, or for other strategic investments or opportunities, we
have no current understandings, agreements or commitments to do so.
Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest the
net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including
short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments and U.S. government
Our industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant
technological change. We face competition from companies that offer molecular,
immunochemical and /or culture-based testing products. Key competitors offering
molecular pathogen testing solutions include E.I. du Pont de Nemours and
Company, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., BioControl Systems, Inc., Life
Technologies Corporation and 3M Food Safety. Key competitors offering
immunochemical testing solutions include bioMérieux, S.A. and Neogen
Corporation. Key competitors offering culture testing solutions include 3M,
bioMérieux and Neogen. These companies compete with us primarily on the basis
of technology, quality, reputation, accuracy, ease of use, price, reliability,
range of product offerings, including the ability to offer a broader range of
testing methods than we can offer, the timing of new product introductions and
product line offerings. We believe our success will be driven by the robustness
and accuracy of our proprietary sample preparation and assay chemistries, the
simplified, efficient work flow that is enabled by our proprietary Roka
transfer tube and advanced Atlas instrument, and our sole focus on the
industrial application markets.
Many of our existing competitors or new market entrants have, or may have,
significantly greater financial, marketing, sales, manufacturing, distribution
and technological resources than we do. Additionally, our existing competitors
or new market entrants may have substantially greater expertise in conducting
research and development, may have greater ability to obtain necessary
intellectual property, may be in a better position than we are to respond
quickly to new or emerging technologies, may be able to undertake more
extensive marketing campaigns, may adopt more aggressive pricing strategies,
may have greater brand recognition and may be more successful in attracting
potential customers.
We are a molecular diagnostics company initially focused on providing advanced
testing solutions for the detection of foodborne pathogens, which is projected
to be the fastest growing segment of the $2 billion food safety testing market.
The proprietary molecular technology used in our assays
enables us to offer
accurate and rapid testing solutions while our fully automated instrument helps
our customers reduce labor costs and minimize operator error. We recently
launched our proprietary Atlas Detection Assays and Atlas instrument in the
North American food safety testing market and have worldwide rights to develop
and commercialize our advanced molecular testing solutions for a wide range of
other industrial applications.
We believe our Atlas solution addresses the significant performance gaps that
traditional pathogen detection methods have with respect to accuracy, time to
results and automation. Our Atlas Detection Assays incorporate our advanced
molecular technologies and are performed on our "sample-in-result-out" Atlas
instrument that automates all aspects of molecular diagnostic testing on a
single, integrated platform, which is designed to provide our customers with
accurate and rapid test results with reduced labor costs and improved laboratory
efficiencies. Although we are in the early stages of commercialization and rely
on a limited number of customers, our initial customers include key opinion
leaders in food safety testing, such as leading contract testing labs,
well-known food processors and government agencies. Through June 30, 2014, we
have installed 36 Atlas instruments pursuant to commercial agreements.
We expect the food safety testing market to grow due to enactment of new
government regulations to improve food safety, quality improvement initiatives
by food processors and consumer demand for safe food. We believe we are uniquely
positioned to gain share in the food safety testing market given our key
. innovative molecular-based assays, designed to deliver accurate and rapid
test results;
. fully automated instrument, designed to reduce labor costs and operator error;
. dedicated sales force, customer service organization and customer applications
. highly scalable business model with significant operating leverage potential;
. significant technical expertise and extensive understanding of food safety
customers; and
. experienced management team with a proven track record of performance.
We believe we have the potential to transform microbiological testing in the
industrial application markets by delivering enhanced molecular-based testing
solutions with respect to assay accuracy, time to results and automation. We
have worldwide rights, except for certain rights retained by Gen-Probe, to
Gen-Probe's broad intellectual property portfolio including assay technologies
and instrument platforms for microbiological testing in industrial application
markets including food safety, pharmaceutical process, personal care products,
water and environmental, veterinary, biothreat and infection control in
healthcare facilities including testing for Hospital Acquired Infections, or
HAI. We purchase our Atlas instruments from Gen-Probe as well as certain
proprietary disposable components and certain proprietary reagents and universal
reagents that we use to manufacture our Atlas Detection Assays, which assays
also contain our proprietary compositions and methods.

Patti Page (AP Photo / Wade Payne, file)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Unforgettable songs like "Tennessee Waltz" and "(How Much Is That) Doggie in the Window?" made Patti Page the best-selling female singer of the 1950s and a star who would spend much of the rest of her life traveling the world.
When unspecified health problems finally stopped her decades of touring, though, Page wrote a sad-but-resolute letter to her fans late last year about the change.
"Although I feel I still have the voice God gave me, physical impairments are preventing me from using that voice as I had for so many years," Page wrote. "It is only He who knows what the future holds."
Page died on New Year's Day in Encinitas, Calif., according to publicist Schatzi Hageman, ending one of pop music's most diverse careers. She was 85 and just five weeks away from being honored at the Grammy Awards with a Lifetime Achievement Award from The Recording Academy.
Page achieved several career milestones in American pop culture, but she'll be remembered for indelible hits that crossed the artificial categorizations of music and remained atop the charts for months to reach a truly national audience.
"Tennessee Waltz" scored the rare achievement of reaching No. 1 on the pop, country and
charts simultaneously and was officially adopted as one of two official songs by the state of Tennessee. Its reach was so powerful, six other artists reached the charts the following year with covers.
Two other hits, "I Went To Your Wedding" and "Doggie in the Window," which had a second life for decades as a children's song, each spent more than two months at No. 1. Other hits included "Mockin' Bird Hill," ''Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte," and "Allegheny Moon." She teamed with George Jones on "You Never Looked That Good When You Were Mine."
"I just loved singing with Patti and she hit notes I never dreamed of," Jones said Wednesday in an email to The Associated Press. "We cut some son gs together and it was a great time. She'll be missed by lots of folks and everybody needs to know how great she was. Patti was a wonderful singer with a real special voice."
So special, Page managed to maintain her career when most singers of her generation and their more innocent songs were shoved aside by the swinging hips of Elvis Presley. Page proved herself something of a match for the nascent rock 'n' roll crowd and its obsession with sex, continuing to place songs on the pop charts into the 1960s and the country charts into the '80s.
Page never kept track, but was told late in life that she'd recorded more than 1,000 songs. That's not what she had in her mind growing up as young Clara Ann Fowler.
"I was a kid from Oklahoma who never wanted to be a singer, but was told I could sing," she said in a 1999 interview. "And things snowballed."
She was popular in pop music and country and became the first singer to have television programs on all three major networks, including "The Patti Page Show" on ABC. In
, Page co-starred with Burt Lancaster in his Oscar-winning characterization of "Elmer Gantry," and she appeared in "Dondi" with David Janssen and in "Boy's Night Out" with James Garner and Kim Novak.
She also starred on stage in the musical comedy "Annie Get Your Gun." Her death came just a few days after the conclusion of the run of "Flipside: The Patti Page Story," an off-Broadway musical commemorating her life.
In 1999, after 51 years of performing, Page won her first Grammy for traditional pop vocal performance for "Live at Carnegie Hall - The 50th Anniversary Concert." Page was planning to attend a special ceremony on Feb. 9 in Los Angeles where she was to receive a lifetime achievement award from The Recording Academy.
Neil Portnow, the Academy's president and CEO, said he spoke with Page and she had been "grateful and excited" to receive the honor. "Our industry has lost a remarkable tal ent and a true gift, and our sincere condolences go out to her family, friends and fans who were inspired by her work."
Page was born Nov. 8, 1927, in Claremore, Okla. The family of three boys and eight girls moved a few years later to nearby Tulsa.
She got her stage name working at radio station KTUL, which had a 15-minute program sponsored by Page Milk Co. The regular Patti Page singer left and was replaced by Fowler, who took the name with her on the road to stardom.
Page was discovered by Jack Rael, a band leader who was making a stop in Tulsa in 1946 when he heard Page sing on the radio. Rael called KTUL asking where the broadcast originated. When told Page was a local singer, he quickly arranged an interview and abandoned his career to be Page's manager.
A year later she signed a contract with Mercury Records and began appearing in nightclubs in the Chicago area.
Her first major hit was "With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming," but she got not iced a few years earlier in 1947 with "Confess."
She created a distinctive sound for the music industry on that song by overdubbing her own voice when she didn't have enough money to hire backup singers for the single.
"We would have to pay for all those expenses because Mercury felt that I had not as yet received any national recognition that would merit Mercury paying for it," Page once said.
"Confess" was enough of a hit that Rael persuaded Mercury to let Page try full four-part harmony by overdubbing. The result was "With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming." The label read, "Vocals by Patti Page, Patti Page, Patti Page and Patti Page."
"Tennessee Waltz," her biggest-selling record, was a fluke.
Because Christmas was approaching, Mercury Records wanted Page to record "Boogie Woogie Santa Claus" in 1950.
Page and Rael got hold of "Tennessee Waltz," convinced that a pop artist could make a smash hit out of it. Mercury agreed to put it on the B -side of the Christmas song.
"Mercury wanted to concentrate on a Christmas song and they didn't want anything with much merit on the flip side," Page said. "They didn't want any disc jockeys to turn the Christmas record over. The title of that great Christmas song was 'Boogie Woogie Santa Claus,' and no one ever heard of it."
"Tennessee Waltz" became the first pop tune that crossed over into a big country hit.
The waltz was on the charts for 30 weeks, 12 of them in the top 10, and eventually sold more than 10 million copies, behind only "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby at the time.
She received the Pioneer Award from the Academy of
Country Music
in 1980. She also is a member of the Oklahoma
Hall of Fame.
In her later career, Page and husband Jerry Filiciotto spent half the year living in Southern California and half in an 1830s farmhouse in New Hampshire. He died in 2009.
Page is survived by her son, Daniel O'Curran, daughter Kathleen Ginn and sister Peggy Layton.

The rain we have had after a month of 70 degree weather has, indeed, been welcome. The course is looking great and the greens and tee boxes are in wonderful shape. The fairways are still running out faster than normal which helps many of us old guys. This will not be the case if we continue to get more rain. In any event, we will continue to enjoy the extra distance on our tee balls until it changes. The new green on hole 18 is really starting to roll well.
The Walker Cup is, indeed, one of the best events of the year. It is only fitting that the Walker Cup is now tied after nine years of competition at 4-4-1. This is a testament to the quality of play that each team exhibits during this competition.
I would like to congratulate our players for their outstanding play this year. Their 17 1-2 to 6 1-2 victory was well deserved. I would like to thank our captain Tommy Carver for an excellent job. He puts a lot of effort into this event each and every year.
The Kenai Golf Course has enjoyed some great playing conditions during the past three weeks, great weather with plenty of sunshine each and every day. Along with the sunshine comes the need for more water on the course. Until it rains again, the course will be watered during the day.
If a sprinkler is in your way, simply move it aside. After you finish play, put the sprinkler back in the original position. We will be watering as much as possible during this dry period. The fairways are a little dry, therefore, we will be watering in those areas as much as possible.
Kenai Golf Course has been extremely busy this past week. Great weather, with just the right amount of rain, has made for great playing conditions. The course is green and lush and the greens are rolling well.
Many projects were completed thanks to the hard work of Mr. Dan Young. He successfully removed the large stump on the left-hand side of No. 18 green and the large stump in the landing area on No. 3. These were two projects that took several days to complete. Great work, Dan!
July is here! Rain and sunshine make for great playing conditions at the Kenai Golf Course. The fairways and greens are in great shape. Next week, the greens will be cut down another notch. Dusty and Willy assure me that we can accomplish this without damaging the greens. They will be quicker and will run truer. They will stay at this height for the month of July. Charlie Waguespach has been cutting the rough and doing an excellent job. There is good definition in all areas on the course. Doug Haralson continues to do an excellent job on our fairways.
The good weather has given way to much-needed rain on the Kenai Golf Course. The watering crew gets a needed break and the fairways finally get their share of water, settling dust and creating better playing conditions.
Dry areas are turning green and the greens, which do get water every night, get that much-needed warm rain that is so much better than well water. The all-night soaker was indeed a welcome event. Let's hope for a few more soakers during the next three months of the season.
The Kenai Golf Course continues to improve each and every week. The warm weather has put a strain on the watering crew. They are, however, able to water the greens all night, every night. The greens are looking good and are almost all filled in. They are running much faster than normal. The new green on hole 18 is getting better and better. Again, this green is for anyone who does not want to hit over the gully. This, along with the new forward tees on holes four and 13 really make the course more playable for ladies, seniors, and anyone wanting to do something different.
It was nice to sit around and talk with old friends about those who have passed on. It was also nice remember all the good times we had together. It is also nice to recognize the contributions made by those individuals to our golf course and to our community, as I outlined in my column last week.
The third annual Memorial Golf Tournament will be held this Saturday and Sunday. It is a two day event of competitive golf and two days of honoring those who played so often at the Kenai Golf Course.
What a beautiful week at the Kenai Golf Course! Sunny days with a little wind has kept the watering crew very busy and the course full of golfers.

I need to convert my mountain bike over to single for sscxwc philly! I am wondering what gearing racers are finding success with right now?
I need to convert my mountain bike over to single for sscxwc philly! I am wondering what gearing racers are finding success with right now?
"I can't learn ya if you don't want to be learned" - Billy
"Sheldon Brown doesn't work here" - Christian
The coop!
Twenty niner?
The two biggest factors are what the course looks like and how strong of really are?
Without that this will quickly become a circle jerk.
I generally gear around 67 inches, bit I am not a race winning contender.
I use 38x17 for a standard cross bike. Don't take worlds too seriously. Just drink your way through it.
I'm not one for fawning over bicycles, but I do believe that our bikes communicate with us, and what this bike is saying is, "You're an idiot." BikeSnobNYC
I use 39x18 (~59 inches) on my SSCX bike. A girl on my team told me that's way too low for CX, but I don't think she factored in how slow I am. I generally finish in the bottom 10%, so to that extent she's right, but I'm not sure I could make it through 45 minutes of start and stop racing with a much bigger gear. I'm weak and I like to spin.
What you want is a gear where the number of places where you're mashing too hard to go on and the number of places where you're spinning out are about the same. Obviously this depends on your power and skills as well as the course terrain. What works for me isn't likely to work for you, and even for me there are courses where it doesn't work and I'd change the gearing if I was really serious.
Of course, if you're serious you've already set yourself up for failure at SSCXWC unless they're doing it wrong on your coast.
41x18 worked pretty well for me on a dry, grassy, mostly flat course. I will probably go down if there's going to be mud or more climbing.
Cyclists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lube but your chains!
Truth be told, there are very few places where I'd be spinning out with 60 inches. I would have been able to do it at Barton, but I didn't use the SS there. Generally, I just look at the course and if there's anything that looks remotely like a hill my SS bike stays in the van. Barton is the only race so far where I thought my gearing would have been too low to be useful.
I haven't figured out who you are, BTW. Say hello next time you see me.
I race 39x18 in the Seattle area, 39x19 for Silver lake (lots of sand and up/down). I've been finishing top 20 in the Cat 4 35+ against geared riders so I think it is working for me.
60 gear inches works well for me on dry courses but with a lot of tight corners, I also fall into the slow category though.
someone once told me for a fast and dry course 63gi is the standard. adjust accordingly to conditions/fitness.
I have never 'really' raced but I do a local ~70km mixed terrain point to point called paris2ancaster. the past three years I have used 42/16(~71gi) and had to run all of the real sloppy stuff. figure I made it up on the rail trail and small road sections with the ability to go faster. that's what I tell myself anyways.

Speaking of BW2, I'm having fun comparing the plot of BW2 to the plot of Pokemon Fallout. If you pay attention to the trailers, you'll notice a picture of the world map with a significant portion of Unova literally covered with ice. Apocalyptic setting indeed! It's a very different type of apocalypse if that's indeed what they're going for though. It brings to mind Platinum version, only possibly much more extreme.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Quality of painting and paper was great, I used the signature matte card stock and it felt very sturdy. Easily customizable to match my invitation. Designer/reviewer gave great feedback quickly. Very satisfied overall!"
"Now here's the kicker... This adorable card came from another set. Don't be deceived by the square look. Mine was changed to have scalloped edges. My designer also had the printer change the color to match my invites, then added a symbol ( heart) which I didn't even know was possible. We used the card as an insert in our invitation to let some of our out of town guests know our new address. LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out! Remember... it's the attention to detail that matters and this little card was perfect!"
"I was really concerned that I was putting way too much information on this card but it looked to fit perfectly. I included 3 hotels that we booked rooms at and our wedding website at the bottom and it still didn't look cramped some how! I do kind of wish that the card was a liiiiitttle bit bigger because I'm a little worried that it will get lost somehow (it's the same size as the RSVP) so I wish it stood out a little better."
"The paper quality of this card is great, just what I expected. I think the best feature was how easy it was to customize everything. I changed the font, the font color, and the general layout of the card and the designers made everything look just the way I wanted it to."
"Instead of a "direction" card I am using this as a "More Info" card to send out with my save the dates. It is the perfect size and I was able to put hotel information & wedding website on it, The designer was awesome to work with !"
