A Franklin man's fingerprints were found on light bulbs and boxes inside an industrial building where nearly 500 marijuana plants were being grown, police said.
Jonathan Z. Baker, 31, was renting the building at 200 Eastview Drive where police found full-grown marijuana plants, seedlings, growing lights and an automated irrigation system to water the plants, according to a police report.
Baker became upset when talking with police, saying he knew what they found inside the building, wondering what charges he was facing and if he would be facing five or 10 years in prison, according to a police report.
Baker was charged with cultivating marijuana, a Class D felony, and was arrested Wednesday.
Investigators identified Baker early in the investigation of who was growing hundreds of marijuana plants in the building at Hurricane and Arvin roads, according to court records.
After a traffic stop in February, police found the growing operation inside the brick building that had been sealed with insulating wrap. An officer could smell marijuana during the stop, but it wasn't coming from the vehicle. Police soon tracked the smell to a vent on the nearby building, got a search warrant and went inside.
The growing operation was using about 800 of the 2,400 square feet in the building. Police estimated the plants would produce about 31 pounds of marijuana.
Investigators found that one person was paying the utility bills and then used city records to track down Robert Clawson, the building's owner.
Clawson told police he had no idea how the building was being used and that he had been renting it to Baker, the report said. Police had said the owner was told the renter was working on an invention and needed complete privacy.
Investigators then spoke with Baker's longtime girlfriend, who told police she had been in the Eastview Drive building only once, shortly after they rented it, and did not know what went on inside.
She told police she paid the rent to Clawson in cash, the report said.
Police had said the growing operation was a complex system that could run on its own. They found a calendar tracking planting and harvest dates, expensive growing lights that could be moved up or down as plants grew, a circulating irrigation system that recycled its own water, and multiple automatic timers that would flip the various systems on and off as needed.
The woman, who told police she had been with Baker 15 years, said he often came home late and didn't tell her what he had been doing.
Police later spoke with Baker, who said he would come to the police station after he got off work as a utility driller. He asked what police had found in the building but then said he knew what they had found and asked about possible criminal charges, the report said. Later, police said they had contacted the man renting the building, but he hired an attorney and was not talking to police.
Investigators found fingerprints inside the building and sent them to the Indiana State Police lab to be tested.
Baker also was identified by an Indianapolis store clerk as the man who bought two large dehumidifiers in February, after police found a receipt in the Eastview Drive building, the report said.
Earlier this month, police received results of fingerprint testing, which were a match to Baker, the report said.
Baker, 127 Highland Ave., was released from the Johnson County jail on $3,000 bond.

Comments about AQUA SPHERE Seal 2.0 180-Degree Goggles:
Waste of Money
Water seeps into the goggles, and they need to be readjusted frequently
Although they do not put pressure directly under my eyes, like my standard size pair of goggles, they are not water tight.
Definitely not worth the price.
Comments about AQUA SPHERE Seal 2.0 180-Degree Goggles:
They work great. I use them to kayak the yellowstone river and they are comfortable enough to wear all day. They do fog up every now and then. I pull them down on my neck in calm waters and then put them back on for the fun parts.

Victoria Falls RECOMMENDATIONS See all
Best Zimbabwe Safaris
By Viator, November 2013
Those who prefer a traditional game drive should travel to Mana Pools National Park. One of the least-developed parks in Africa, it's also home to some of the best wildlife viewing. Animals of every species gather around the Chitake Springs for a refreshing drink during dry season, making it an ideal spot for checking off the Big Five.
For a non-traditional canoe safari, head to Zambezi National Park, where these traditional boats can be hired to float through less intense stretches of the famous river. Canoes offer an ideal way to view large game, like elephants and lions, while they sip at the river's edge, as well as the easiest way to get up close to hippos and crocs.
Horseback safaris in Hwange National Park are a great way for visitors to see more than 100 species of African mammals and some 400 different varieties of birds. Hwange is known for being one of the most diverse game parks in the world, and exploring on horseback is a sure-fire way to see packs of wild hunting dogs, elephant herds and water buffalo up close.

I have a 2000 328i. I have had it since October 5th. Recently my headlights and right turn signal have been blinking. We thought it was the alternator but that wasnt it. My engine revs up when it is idle. Soon after my heat did not work. It only blew out cold air. Also my car started overheating and i would constantly put in more coolant. And finally it would cut off at stoplights occasionally.

How to Talk to a Girl Who You May Never See Again
Whether you are on vacation, looking for a summer fling, or you are at the mall picking up girls, there are many situations where you may be talking to a girl you may not see again.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Remember that if your first impression is bad, you might not see her again, so it will not matter.
2If you do want to see her again, try to get her number, or at least her name or a general idea of where she lives.
3Strike up a conversation. This is pretty basic, and there are tons of other articles helping you with this. Get her name if you can.
4Live in the moment. You are talking to a girl, but if there is a chance you might not see her again, it doesn't really matter if she likes you or not. Do not worry too much about what you are saying, or how you are acting. Just have fun.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Wear nice clothing and smell nice whenever talking to girls. Or anyone, for that matter.
- Be funny. Most girls like that.
- Don't be too uncaring, you still want the girl to like you.

Please see our restored antique two-person FOLBOT
kayak below, for
sale for
$2,500 (new price)
These vessels may be purchased from our website using PayPal--email us to find out how!
IBIS -- $47,500 new price!
45' LOD 2010 REUEL PARKER SHARPIE SCHOONER (Maxi-Trailerable)
IBIS is the prototype MAXI-TRAILERABLE cruising sharpie schooner. Construction is very strong, and sail trials have been made in the Bahamas. IBIS felt safe and comfortable during six Gulf Stream crossings as well as several other open-ocean passages. She navigated the remote Bights of Andros in 2010 and 2012, and she ran Abaco Rage twice in 2011; using inside passages no deep-draft vessel could even dream about! I sailed IBIS to the Bahamas again in 2012, and found her to be the ideal boat for gunkholing among the islands, sounds and creeks of the Bahamas. She exceeded my hopes and expectations, and proved to me beyond a doubt that properly designed and built sharpies can be seaworthy and seakindly. IBIS is presently in Riverside Marina in Ft. Pierce, FL.
IBIS is available for sale again! She has been reburbished, with upgrades, new components (including a new centerboard), and all maintenance up to date.
IBIS is 51' 4" LOA, 10' Beam, 2' 6" Draft (5' 6" Board Down), 42' LWL. Her displacement is 14,500lbs and her empty trailer weight is 12,000lbs. She has a box keel containing 2,500lbs of lead,
an additional 500lbs of internal ballast, and carries an incredible 250 gallons of water in integral central tanks for an additional 2,110lbs ballast. Her new centerboard weighs 350lbs, and is raised by the same 12v winch as that used for raising the masts. The winch is mounted on the foremast tabernacle, and uses a dedicated battery charged by its own solar-panel. Fuel capacity is 60 gallons, providing over 100 hours of motor time, for a range of over 850 miles.
Sail Area is 753 sq ft in three sails (gaff schooner). She has balanced single halyards for ease raising sail. Her masts are tabernacled using an electric winch and permanently installed A-frame, which doubles as a bow pulpit. Her bridge clearance is 36'; With masts down her bridge clearance is less than 10 feet. She is powered by an Isuzu 3LD2 3-cylinder diesel, which powers her to a maximum speed of 8 knots, consuming only .75 gallons per hour. At 7 knots, fuel consumption drops to .6 gallons per hour. This makes her more fuel efficient than most large pickup trucks! IBIS has a stern boomkin not shown on the drawings below. The boomkin supports the main traveler, boom gallows, flag-staff and GPS antenna.
IBIS is based on the Washington State halibut fishermen of the San Juan Islands in the 1880's. These were double-ended sharpies intended for use in all seasons. Construction is composite plywood/epoxy/fabric, with hollow Douglas fir laminated masts and main boom (bird's-mouth method). There are five water-tight bulkheads making this vessel as unsinkable as possible. She can be sailed or motored to safety with any compartment flooded.
IBIS sleeps four in private cabins (foc's'le & master double berth). There is a head (SeaLand Traveler) and hot-water shower in the forward (night) cabin. There are large hanging lockers and storage areas.
The Aft Cabin contains a large galley with hot & cold running water, large top-loading 12v Isotherm refrigerator/freezer, dinette with fold-up table, Ipod music system, DVD movie-center with flat-screen TV and several cabinets and racks. There are numerous large storage compartments. With the small cargo hold amidships, IBIS can carry many months of food supplies for four people.
Electronics include VHF radio, depth sounder and hard-wired Furuno GPS with remote antenna. The GPS is installed in the aft-facing cabin trunk, and is visible from the helm. There is a Raymarine ST400+ autopilot with tiller piston. There is a 4-amp solar panel mounted on the hatch turtle, a 3-amp moveable solar panel, and a 1-amp panel dedicated for the winch battery forward.
IBIS's tender is a 14' Swedish Periagua with 3 air-tight floatation seats and small covered forepeak. The tender is carried in side davits, schooner style, and can be launched and retrieved under way. It can carry four adults plus groceries with ease, and rows very fast and easily. A very small (3hp max) outboard may be used if desired. It comes with 7' ash oars.

The mount is perfect for what it needs to do. It is sturdy but can be angled well to get pretty much any position. Fits snugly. Just way overpriced for what it is.

Had to wait for this as it was out of stock but what a brilliant wee idea this is! Perfectly stable on a mic stand and works beautifully.

Jeff Jarrett signing talent
Since there has been no announcement, a lot of fans are under the assumption that Jeff Jarrett is not working on his roster. That is simply not the case. It has now been revealed that GFW has reached out to several of the top independent wrestlers to negotiate deals with them. Some have already signed, but Global Force Wrestling is not ready to make the announcement just yet. They want to build a deeper pool of talent first.
April 14, 2015
Carlito to GFW
When it comes to being booked on the independent wrestling circuit, Jeff Jarrett has the best of both worlds. Not only does he get to perform for fans and be paid rather handsomely for it, he also gets the opportunity to recruit wrestlers to join GFW. In May, he is working a show in California that will also feature Carlito. The two of them are expected to have a little discussion about doing business together later on this year.
April 2, 2015
Chris Sabin to GFW
Since TNA started signing contracts with wrestlers again, it seems a bit surprising that there have not been a lot of news in regards to the company contacting Chris Sabin. It is being said that the former world heavyweight champion is not interested in making a return at this point because he wants to wait and see what Jeff Jarrett does with GFW. The belief is that a lot of free agents are doing the same thing as well.
March 2, 2015
Lucha Underground signings
While Lucha Underground has been actively seeking well known talent to join their roster and increase their presence in the United States, they are having trouble signing performers. Aside from Alberto Del Rio, a lot of wrestlers are holding off on signing a contract with the promotion. One of the reasons being speculated for that right now is the fact that a lot of people are waiting to see what Jeff Jarrett can do with his new GFW promotion this year.

Hi everyone,
I recently acquired a 1989 Trek 1400. I have the frame, wheelset, and crankset but everything else will need to be replaced. Is it worth my money to put new components on this frame? I'm planning on using the bike for light riding as well as commuting to work (around 10 miles round trip). I do not mind putting money into the bike because I enjoy working on projects. Also, would I be able to find components that would be compatible with a bike of this age?
Thanks for any input in advance.

Concerted Combat
What's the best/easiest mission to get this achievement on?
The Best way to get to 2 mil is to always kill the enemies really close to you, that gives you a 16x multiplier. Same goes for bigger enemies and even bosses.
... but that's not what concerted combat is about. That's the 30 kills with a joint strike achievement.
You can get it quite easy on the first level. Just wait until there is a large group of them and use the joint strike. Repeat if needed. You don't have to kill 30 at once, just total.
Oh my bad, wrong achieve.
Can someone add me so we can do this ach.? :mad: I think I have like....29/30 but I ca't find any gamers that play this super game! :(

While she's a "supporter" of Newsom, Louis-Dreyfus said, "I don't mean to disappoint him, but I'm going to have to disappoint him because we're not going to use real political players on the show."

text: 000 FXUS63 KFGF 201124 AFDFGF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Forks ND 624 AM CDT FRI MAY 20 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 624 AM CDT Fri May 20 2016 No updates needed. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday) Issued at 300 AM CDT Fri May 20 2016 Forecast challenges will be minimal shower chances around the Lake of the Woods region today as well as near critical fire weather conditions by afternoon. As for now, showers along the Canadian border have been slow to end. As of 230 am, one shower was left northwest of Cando. Therefore will be able to start the day with a dry forecast in all areas. The short wave that helped initiate some afternoon showers/tstms will shift a little further southward today, or more into the southern half of the FA. However, latest ECMWF and the HRRR show some afternoon showers developing once again around the Lake of the Woods region. Will match up with DLH and insert some isolated showers in that area. Otherwise the rest of the area will see another nice day, but with somewhat gusty afternoon winds again. Moisture return has been a little overdone recently, so with the warm highs expected today and afternoon gusty winds, fire weather conditions could approach critical thresholds again. Saturday looks very similar to today, but just a tad warmer. .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Thursday) Issued at 300 AM CDT Fri May 20 2016 Sunday high temps look similar to Saturdays, and could even be a couple degrees warmer in some areas. Wind speeds by afternoon into early evening should be even a little gustier too. Degree of moisture return will bear watching, with models indicating mid to upper 50 degree dew points moving in. Since most of the area is quite dry, will be interesting to see if these higher dew points are even possible. Chances for convection increase by Sunday afternoon into Sunday night, with the Day 3 SPC thunderstorm outlook showing a slight risk of severe weather just to the west of the FA. Monday through Thursday...Southwesterly flow aloft continues for much of the period as the pattern stays active for a while this week. There is decent agreement with a lead shortwave and surface trough coming out into the area on Monday, and this continues to be our best shot for stronger thunderstorms and rainfall amounts. There are signs of a weak cold front pushing down on Tuesday, with perhaps some isolated convection. By the end of the period models diverge on the timing of shortwaves coming out, so kept close to the blended solution of 20-30 pops and temps near seasonal averages. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning) Issued at 624 AM CDT Fri May 20 2016 Like the general set up from the previous set of TAFs, so pretty much stuck with that.

Resumo: In this work nano-hydroxyapatite/chitosan (n-HAp/CS) hybrid microparticles were prepared by spray drying following a methodology where, in a first step, aqueous nanodispersions of n-HAp in the presence of chitosan were produced by fast stirring at pH values below and above chitosan pKa (5.5 and 7.0, respectively). The mixing system used allowed the production of homogeneous and stable nanodispersions, and the subsequent spray-dried microparticles, incorporating highly pure HAp nanoparticles of approximately 50 nm, were successfully produced without degrading the organic component, chitosan. Comparatively with the n-HAp/CS-7.0, the n-HAp/CS-5.5 dispersions were characterized by a lower particle size and a higher zeta potential, being then more stable. Differences in the spray-dried microparticles were also evident from a morphological point of view. HApCS-5.5 microparticles, which present an average size in volume of 15.8 μm and n-HAp crystals homogenously distributed, were found to be preferred over the HApCS-7.0 counterparts, which require an extra step in the productive process and presented a tendency to form large agglomerates. Both prepared hybrid particles presented similar composition to that one of natural bone (HAp/CS of 70/30) and no traces of KCl salts were observed if a washed n-HAp paste was used. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Microencapsulation of red and white thyme oil in poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid: Assessment of encapsulation efficiency and antimicrobial capacity of the produced microcapsules http://hdl.handle.net/10198/12929 Título: Microencapsulation of red and white thyme oil in poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid: Assessment of encapsulation efficiency and antimicrobial capacity of the produced microcapsules Autor: Moreira, Ana C.G.; Martins, Isabel M.; Fernandes, Isabel; Barreiro, M.F.; Rodrigues, A.E. Resumo: In this work, microcapsules were formed by coating thyme oil with a biodegradable polymer, poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA), through a coacervation process recently developed at our laboratory and previously studied for poly lactic acid (PLA). The coacervation method involves dissolution of the polymer (PLGA 50:50) in dimethylformamide. After adding this solution to the oil/water (o/w) emulsion, and due the insolubility of the polymer in water, polymer deposition occurs around the oil droplets and microcapsule formation starts. PLGA was chosen due to its easy biodegradation and biocompatibility. The active principle, thyme oil, is characterized by excellent antimicrobial activity ascribed to the presence of thymol and carvacrol, its major components. Two types of thyme oil (red and white) were microencapsulated and the produced microcapsules were characterized using optical microscopy, particle size analysis, and gas chromatography (used to evaluate encapsulation efficiency). Antimicrobial activity was preliminarily evaluated following ASTM E2149-01. Microscopy and particle size analysis confirmed the existence of microcapsules with round shapes, smooth surfaces, particle diameters between ∼45–49 μm, and wall thicknesses ∼3.5 μm. Global encapsulation efficiencies of thyme oil (both red and white) were 70 % and 57 %, respectively. The produced microcapsules exhibited a sustained oil release that ensures a level of antimicrobial activity maintenance desirable for cosmetic applications. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Molecular imprinting in hydrogels using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization and continuous flow micro-reactor http://hdl.handle.net/10198/12928 Título: Molecular imprinting in hydrogels using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization and continuous flow micro-reactor Autor: Kadhirvel, Porkodi; Machado, Carla; Freitas, Ana; Oliveira, Tânia; Dias, Rolando; Costa, Mário Resumo: Abstract BACKGROUND Stimuli responsive imprinted hydrogel micro-particles were prepared using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization for targeting genotoxic impurity aminopyridine in aqueous environment using a continuous flow micro-reactor. RESULTS The feasibility of operation with a continuous flow micro-reactor for particles production was demonstrated. A comparative evaluation was carried out between batch and micro-reactor produced imprinted and non-imprinted hydrogels. Experimental results proved that molecular imprints generated by free radical polymerization and controlled radical polymerization showed outstanding performance in adsorption behavior: the q value estimate was about 1000 times higher than the value presented by other researchers. Solid phase extraction results further evidenced the promising imprinting with hydrogels using free radical polymerization and controlled radical polymerization by retaining c. 100% of 3-aminopyridine. The imprinting factor of 4.3 presented in this research appears to be the best value shown so far. CONCLUSION The imprinted materials were successfully prepared both in batch and with a continuous flow micro-reactor. The inclusion of a reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer agent in controlled radical polymerization was important in optimizing the experimental conditions in the continuous microfluidic approach. Though the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer agent was very useful in controlling the reaction kinetics, imprinted micro-particles showed the existence of both non-specific and imprinted sites. It is worth extending this work to demonstrate the impact of reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer agents in molecular imprinting, considering also operation in a continuous flow micro-reactor to obtain tailored smart hydrogel particles. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Biobased additives as biodegradability enhancers with application in TPU-based footwear components http://hdl.handle.net/10198/12924 Título: Biobased additives as biodegradability enhancers with application in TPU-based footwear components Autor: Fernandes, Isabel Patrícia; Barbosa, Mariana; Amaral, Joana Soares; Pinto, Vera; Rodrigues, José Luís; Ferreira, Maria José; Barreiro, M. F. Resumo: Among the wide variety of materials employed in the manufacture of shoes, thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are one of the most widely used. Given its widespread use, and associated waste management problems, the development of more biodegradable and evironmentally compatible solutions is needed. In this work, a polyester-based TPU used in the footwear industry for outsoles production was modified by compounding with lignin, starch and cellulose at content of 4% (w/w). The biodegradability was evaluated by using agar plate tests with the fungi Aspergillus niger ATCC16404, the Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC9027 and an association of both (consortium), and soil tests at 37 °C and 58 °C. The obtained results evidenced a positive effect of the tested biobased additives, the most favourable results being registered with lignin. These results were corroborated by the structural modifications observed by FTIR analysis. Additionally, mechanical tests prove the suitability of using the lignin modified TPUs for footwear outsoles production. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z

Dinner raffle coming in AprilMarch 11,2013
The only compensation for serving as chairman or chairwoman of the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce board of directors is the personal satisfaction of leading the region's largest business association. However, recent history indicates that holding the position can bring some financial reward as well.
Four times in the past seven years, a former board chairman or chairwoman has won the annual chamber dinner raffle and taken home at least a portion of the $4,000 top prize.
Dona Bate won the raffle in 2008, and Brian Aitchison won it three years later. Carol Dawes split the top prize in 2006, and three years later, Harry Monti grabbed a piece of the top prize. Each had previously served as head of the chamber board.
Recently retired chairman Steve Gilman and raffle founder Marion Milne are among those who hope the pattern continues April 23, when this year's raffle dinner is held at the Canadian Club.
Milne was chairwoman of the board when the first raffle was held in 1983. She organized the inaugural event and has been its mainstay for three decades. Over that time, the event generated the money for a down payment on the chamber's office building in Berlin and a portion of the money needed to renovate and expand it in 2001. The expansion provided meeting rooms that serve the needs of 80 business and nonprofit organizations each year.
Milne and Gilman, along with the current chairwoman, Susan Kruthers, and the board of directors are preparing for the upcoming event.
"It's a key event in the chamber year," Kruthers said.
When the chamber was renovated in 2001, it became one of the region's first meeting spaces with high-speed Internet. It helped emphasize the power of the internet to hundreds of business and community leaders.
Cameras in the meeting rooms nudged broader use of video for public meetings area-wide.
Tickets for the dinner and drawing can be purchased from any chamber director or by contacting the chamber office.MORE IN This Just InWESTMINSTER Vermont State Police say a passenger has died in an off-road vehicle crash in...

Amylin's San Diego operations closing
San Diego Bristol-Myers Squibb, the drug giant that bought Amylin Pharmaceuticals last summer, plans to shutter its San Diego operations by the end of 2014.
The decision closes the books on one of San Diego's most famous biotech companies, a pioneer in new diabetes therapies. It also means hundreds of employees will be dislocated and hundreds of thousands of square feet of office and lab space will be put on the market.
"By the end of 2014, we plan to have all work being done in San Diego transitioned to other Bristol-Myers Squibb sites," spokesman Frederick Egenolf said by email Tuesday. "Beyond that, we will likely have a small number of people working on closing the San Diego facilities by the end of (March) 2015."
Egenolf said New York City-based Bristol-Myers is closing its San Diego operations to become more efficient, and to eliminate redundant positions.
It's a familiar story in San Diego: Successful biotech and high-tech companies grow to a certain size. They're bought by much larger companies from out of the area and are shut down, or gradually dissolved.
That was the fate of Hybritech, San Diego's first biotech company, purchased in 1986 by Eli Lilly, the Indianapolis drug company.
Although Amylin's impending closure deprives the region of a biotech mainstay, San Diego's history suggests that something better could replace it, said UC San Diego's Mary Walshok, a longtime student of San Diego innovation-based economy.
"It's not companies that matter, it's people that matter," said Walshok, associate vice chancellor for public programs and dean of UCSD Extension. "San Diego's strength is in the talent that is resident here."
While Hybritech disappeared, its alumni are still leading, forming and investing in biotech companies. These include David Hale (Santarus), Tina Nova (Genoptix Medical Laboratory), Ivor Royston (Forward Ventures) and Timothy Wollaeger (Sanderling Ventures).
Among the companies emerging out of Hybritech was Amylin itself, inspired by Howard "Ted" Greene, Hybritech's founding chief executive.
Biotech veteran Joe Panetta took a more somber view.
"It's a shame to see a company like Amylin not have a presence in San Diego," said Panetta, chief executive of the life science trade group Biocom.
Panetta said the news wasn't a surprise, because Bristol-Myers had not given any indication that it intended to expand or maintain Amylin's presence in San Diego.
And while new companies will undoubtedly emerge from Amylin alumni, Panetta said, the more immediate concern is finding jobs for those laid off.
About 420 people now work at Amylin in San Diego, said Egenolf, the Bristol-Myers spokesman. When appropriate, these employees will be considered for relocation if they are interested. Those being laid off are being offered severance packages and help finding other jobs.
Outside San Diego, Amylin employs more than 300 people in Ohio and nearly 400 at various locations in field-based sales and medical roles, Egenolf said. These positions will be brought into Bristol-Myers.
Total employment at Amylin at the time of the acquisition last summer was about 1,250, The current total is about 1,100.
Hybritech alumnus Wollaeger, an Amylin founder, said the company leaves a legacy of one of the few local biotech companies that brought a truly meaningful drug to market.
"Amylin was a continuation of the biotech revolution started by Ted Greene and the team that he put together at Hybritech," Wollaeger said.
Founded in 1987, Amylin endured years of setbacks before becoming one of San Diego's largest biotech companies. It came close to going under in 1998, when Johnson & Johnson canceled a drug development deal.
Amylin found success with the 2005 approval of Byetta, which helps diabetics better control their blood sugar levels. Byetta, injected twice a day, was derived from a protein in the saliva of the Gila monster.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — With the Super Bowl celebrations over and training camp on the horizon, Eli Manning believes the New York Giants will have to improve if they want to repeat.
Speaking in a telephone interview with The Associated Press Monday, Manning said he was anxious to get back to work despite an offseason shortened by the Giants' impressive run to a second title in five seasons, culminated by their Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots in Indianapolis.
Manning was happy the Giants will report to training camp at the University at Albany Thursday without controversy. He even laughed about former teammate Amani Toomer's recent comments that Tony Romo of Dallas was statistically the best quarterback in the NFC East, quipping that he has played with better receivers than Toomer.

NORTH PLAINS, Ore. — Ai Miyazato has competition. But the competitors are still looking upward.
Miyazato stretched her lead to three strokes Saturday during the second round of the LPGA Safeway Classic, shooting a 5-under-par 67 at Pumpkin Ridge's Ghost Creek Course.
Miyazato has won four tournaments this year. A strong finish during the final 18 holes on the par-72 course is likely the only obstacle preventing her from capturing number five.
When: Today (third and final round)
Where: Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course in North Plains, Ore.

Related story: Inkster DQd from tournament.
"I just don't want to really force it," Miyazato said. "Just let it happen."
While Miyazato extended her lead, two second-round surges made today's final run much more interesting.
Song-Hee Kim and Ji Young Oh shot 8 under Saturday. Kim's strong outing vaulted her into a tie for second place at 8-under overall with Na Yeon Choi, who shot 5 under during the second round. Oh, who shot 2 over Friday, moved to 6-under overall and into a four-way tie for sixth place.
But Kim made the largest leap. An eagle on the par-5 10th hole and six birdies propelled the South Korean, placing her just three shots behind Miyazato with one round to go.
Kim said perfect weather and ideal playing conditions first lifted her spirits.
Then a new putter and a lack of nerves combined to create a memorable day — one highlighted by her 10th-hole eagle that saw a 40-foot chip find the bottom of the cup.
Kim joked that she hopes the postcard-perfect weather holds today. And 12 top-10 finishes this year have given her the confidence that anything is possible during the final round.
"Focus on my golf and play my own game," Kim said. "That's important (today)."
But the coolest confidence still belonged to Miyazato. Bogies on consecutive holes at 11 and 12 proved that the second-ranked player in the sport is vulnerable.
But the way Miyazato recovered at 12 said everything about a refocused mental approach that has her blocking out everything but the ball and the hole.
After poorly striking an attempt from a sand bunker and watching the shot sail over the green, she bounced back to sink an 8-foot chip and prevent a late-afternoon meltdown.
"It was really lucky," Miyazato said.
She proceeded to birdie two out of her next four holes. And by the time the fifth-year pro from Japan was waiting to drop in her final put at 18, Miyazato was a picture of cool: legs crossed, right hand on her hip, left hand leaning on a putter, staring away from a crowded green and eyeing a serene wind-blown pond.
"It's not very easy to explain," said Miyazato, referring to her calmness. "To say it simply, I just try to take it one shot a time. And I think I do really well controlling myself in between shots."
Miyazato's calm was sharply contrasted by Juli Inkster's breakdown.
After initially shooting 5 under Saturday and turning a late rise into a tie for second place, Inskter's day fell apart once she walked off the course.
The 28-year veteran was informed that her use of a weighted practice donut before teeing off at 10 resulted in a disqualification.
Inkster stormed away after learning about the ruling.
"I had a 30-minute wait and needed to loosen up," said Inkster, whose lone comment was made available by the LPGA. "It had no effect on my game whatsoever, but it is what it is. I'm very disappointed."
Cristie Kerr, who won the 2008 Classic, shot 5 under Saturday and improved to 7 under overall, which tied her with Jiyai Shin for fourth place.
Michelle Wie followed up a solid first round by shooting 1 under Saturday, which allowed her to move into a six-way tie for 24th.
Defending Classic champion M.J. Hur failed to make the cut by one stroke after coming in at 4-over par following two rounds.

Vote: Which Diablo 3 Class Have You Played the Most?Posted 25 Jul 2013 by
What @Diablo class have you played the most? Why? #d3 #incgamers
Click your choice and defend or lament it in the comments. I'm more interested in what people reply to the second vote, and it allows multiple selections. You might wish you'd played more of all 5 chars, after all, and yes, I even put in an option #6 for you grumpycats to let us know how much you hate.
As it often the case on the votes I write, I don't actually know how I'm going to vote until I load the post and do so. I can see multiple ways to answer question #2. I wish I'd played more Wizard since it was my favorite pre-game when I hoped to play a super fast movement tri-tree arty mage, as I loved in D1 and D2.
And yet… I also wish I'd played more Barb; not since I like the class, but since I'd have made larger profits through his OPness. But do I actually want to live with myself after clicking the Barb box on vote #2? *shudder*

Teeth are rarely seen on any Pokemon unless its part of the outward design. If they didn't have teeth then eating anything hard for most of the mammalian Pokemon would be incredibly hard.

The Midwest Jewish Artists Laboratory Network (MWJAL) is a project of The J, The Harry & Rose Samson Jewish Community Center in Milwaukee, The University of Wisconsin Hillel in Madison, The Sabes JCC in Minneapolis, and The Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership in Chicago. Together, we are engaging more than 70 professional artists to nurture Jewish knowledge, meaning and fellowship.
Our work will be framed by the year-long exploration of a theme chosen by artists from all five cities, entitled Echoes: Voices of Wisdom.
Artists ("Fellows") in each city are meeting once or twice monthly over the course of the year to explore, react to, share and internalize the meaning of Jewish sources related to the annual theme. While each city will operate independently, we will become more than the sum of our parts through regular communication. This process began with a five city retreat in Milwaukee this fall, during which we studied with national educators, celebrated Shabbat, and shared ideas.
In Kansas City, we invite you to join us in exploring the theme by participating in related programming and artist-led community workshops.
The 2015-2016 program will culminate in an exhibit/showcase featuring works by the artists and an engaging exhibition by and about community workshop participants.

I am building an application which triggers an alarm via AlarmManager.
I would like to be able to call the Alarm via it's own non-activity class, but since I am not extending Activity, I don't appear to have any 'context'. This concept confuses me, and I've read the sdk docs.
How would I go about using:
alarmTest = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
in my non-activty class?
Also, I'm assuming getting context will allow me to use SharedPrefs and Intents in my non-activity class as well?

News Release: FSU
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State University alumni and fans are invited to volunteer with the FSU Alumni Association's Tallahassee Seminole Club on Saturday, March 22, as part of the association's third annual Seminole Service Day.
Volunteers will spend time at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Tallahassee to help clean, stock the pantry, manage inventory and garden. Participants are encouraged to wear their garnet and gold as they give back to the community. Meet Tallahassee Seminole Club members at 712 E. 7th Ave. from noon to 4 p.m. to lend a helping hand.
The event is one of many being held by alumni clubs and chapters around the country for the association's coordinated day of Seminole community service. The FSU Alumni Association administers a network of more than 80 Seminole Clubs and Chapters around the world. These clubs and chapters represent FSU in their own communities through events and community service projects.
"One of the most tangible characteristics passed from every generation of FSU students to the next is a sense of service — of giving back," FSU Alumni Association President and CEO Scott Atwell said.
"Over the years we have called it 'leading for the greater good,' and it's one of the most unique qualities of our FSU alumni. Seminole Service Day is an extension of that characteristic," Atwell said.

Motorists warned about severe traffic on I-81 southbound
DUNMORE - State police troopers are stationed at Interstate 81 south entrance ramps warning motorists of extensive traffic to prevent them from making U-turns off the ramp.
Traffic on I-81 south has slowed to a crawl due to a lane closure between exit 184, Moosic, and exit 182, Montage Mountain Road. The left southbound lane is closed for base repair until 4:30 p.m., according to the state Department of Transportation.
Due to the congestion backing up as far as Dunmore, state police have stationed troopers at entrance ramps to warn motorists.
Though the highway remains open, state police said the intent is to keep motorists from driving down the entrance ramp, noticing the traffic and driving in the wrong direction back up the entrance ramp.

Hello and I wanted to thank everyone for their responses..You are all so amazing..
WEll...so far My husband has been in the hospital..he rehydrated and yes that helped..The chemo was stopped after 1 session....He got sick and dehydrated and into the hospital he went as he vomited the morning of the 2nd chemo session. So here we are again..His spirits are pretty crappy, he is so defeated.he eats very little, and I mean very little.maybe orange sherbert.He will not touch any solid food..Said he is not interested. NOW, GET this... our local oncologist's associate told him that food will only feed the cancer..WELL of everything that was said..THAT Stuck in his head.....Truthfully I am so angry...what purpose did THAT serve? IDIOT!
Since speaking to that oncologists associate he has become so defeated..I am so ANGRY at that DR..I could kick him..It is just wrong! Wrong! Wrong!! I say shame on him!
We have a 2nd opinion from Dr Veach next week from MSK...and that will say very much..IT will most likely be a phone consult as there has been no new info since the first chemo...we are just in a holding pattern..we are trying to convince him to fight..not sure what he is thinking. but I do know he is terrified. Depending on what Dr Veach says we will proceed from there, either within MSK or consult DR Kato.or refer us to someone else...within MSK
Our PT scan was not good..metastisized Stage 4...so ....we wait, we hope and we pray........

I do not know what the specific numbers were for the Billirubin...but something has shifted..He feels better that he certainly was..Maybe because he is now hydrated..He just seems sooooooo much better...He has had 2 good days...has been eating pudding, Jello, Boost and sherbert..for now..
BUt "something" has shifted..Dr said the bad numbers are going down and the good numbers are going up...oh ..ok...we are waiting for the second opinion and maybe Dr Kato will get a shot too.....But we are liking whatever this small change is......please continue...and...to be continued......
THanks for all your help and support!
It is greatly appreciated!

Re: Austin Newly diagnosed (stage 4) (33 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Well, We never had the 2nd week of chemo. My husband got very sick when he got to the Onc and vomited and off to the ER he went, and was admitted. He was severely dehydrated and bilirubin was high......so here we sit .W a I T I N G....
WE have decided to seek a second opinion from a Dr Veach at Memorial Sloane Kettering in Nyc... Does anyone know about him?My husband is too sick to go to NYC..so we have faxed all the info and will see what is said. They call this a mail consult, and as good as our insurance is, it is not covered..That, we cannot understand..What would be the difference???
Will keep you posted....Any responses would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you!

Re: Austin Newly diagnosed (stage 4) (33 replies, posted in General Discussion)
We did not ask..And NOT doing Chemo was never mentioned.It was decided to give it a shot as long as my husband was strong enough and could handle it. They do the blood work right there and he was strong enough for the second cisplatin Chemo tomorrow...so on we go...
I asked the ONC nurse and she said they never give a timeline..because everyone is different and one never knows..and you know what , we all agreed!
Thanks again for all your words and thoughts...

Re: Austin Newly diagnosed (stage 4) (33 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Hello..My Husband is 58.
..We started Chemo after Christmas..Dec 27th..Gems and Cisplatin...WE go tommr for another round of Cisplatin..He got the hiccups on the 2nd day after chemo and that started the vomiting..but not too badly..He sleeps all day and barely eats at all....but drinks water to take his meds..which are for the pain..Perhaps he has had a BOOST liquid drink, a few mouthfuls of broth and a few sips of a milkshake..He is not interested in eating..He just goes back to sleep..
The Chemo nurse handed us the results of the PET scan as we sat waiting..
I wish I could understand the scale of the SUV's in ranges like 6.5,4.5,1.2-1.7...TRuthfully we would love to get another opinion and of course hoping chemo will halt, albeit,temporarily some metatasis..and of course, hope, prayer and miracles....never say never...BELIEVE!.....But Here is the news!
This is a brief summary:
Periportal adenopathy SUV.6.5
Periperiphal peripancreatic Lymph nodes SUV 4.5
para aortic lymph nodes near left renal hilum measure 11mm short axis SUV5.2
Innumerable bilateral hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes SUV as high as 5 with anatomic size in the 8-12mmshort range axis
2 left upper lobe pulmonary groundglass nodules 9mm with SUV1.2-1.7
Left cervical level 4 lymph node has SUV4.2
Numerous Osseous lesions, including mid-sternum,multiple spinal sites(including bilateral T5 pedicles) left more than right ribs,and scattered about the pelvis with SUV3.7-4.2 (no specific risk for pathologic fracture)
IMPRESSION: Findings Are compatible with widespread lymphatic parenchymal and osseous metatastic disease!
If anyone has any insight or any suggestions or anything..Our Family is all ears!..So let us know any thoughts or any anything!!!
WE thanks EVERYONE is advance for all your prayers, hope, insight a!nd knowledge!
Very Sincerely,
The Austin Family

Re: Austin Newly diagnosed (stage 4) (33 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Hello Everyone,
I wanted to thank you all for your quick responses.WE are amazed and thrilled to have found this website and all of you!!! Thank you all VERY much! My husband is resting, and is on Dilautin and morphine(pill) for pain. He has no energy, and barely eats and has a problem hiccuping..which we were told to give antacid for.It only helps slightly. In the past 3 months he has lost aprox 55lbs as they were trying to find the problem!
Our problem here seems to be TIME!!!!!! The oncologist says we can start treatment Christmas week or the first of the year. We need a pt scan as the baseline for treatment. we only know he is stage 4 and in the lymph node in his liver ( or near) it. The port will be put in Monday..BUT we have to wait a week or 2 for the PT scan.. to start the chemo..MORE WAITING..Did I misunderstand that we have time.????? I don't think so .WE are getting so frustrated because we wanna get going..The port is in Monday and now we have to wait for the PT scan to start????? The oncologist is making us wait..WE are trying to respect the oncologist and her office ( where they will administer the Chemo)..but we want to get going....She also said they are very busy...Truthfully we want to get to Dr Kato in Nyc..but are waiting!! Waiting, Waiting! Waiting,...we waited for Jefferson to release results of the biopsy to the oncologist and turns out it was just sitting on somebody's desk for weeks..so it will be 2 months soon....more metastisizing???..More waiting...more time........
I guess you can tell we are at our wits end......Please tell us your thoughts..
It's friday night...so we want to start making A DEFINITIVE PLAN and that includes getting or consulting with Dr kato...but I'm sure he'll need the pet scan as well.....Please let us now...Thank you all very much..The Austin Family and Friends..

Topic: Austin Newly diagnosed (stage 4) (33 replies, posted in General Discussion)
We are in total shock!~ WE just got back from the oncologist and were informed my husband has Stage 4 Cholangioma Carcinoma. WE live in Pennsylvania, with easy access to NYC, NJ, Phila and JOhn Hopkins..so all hospitals are within driving distance. WE are starting chemo MOnday with Cisplatin/Gemsitabine.....WE saw a local oncologist and she told us..there really is no cure and that this is all just basically palliative care.
He had so many tests for months and finally thru Jefferson they inserted a camera and this is the diagnosis. There was not a giant tumor, this originally looked like scar tissue and was difficult to diagnose..so we waited 4 months to get this final diagnosis...but it is in the binary ducts.
If anyone can point us in any direction as where to go for a second opinion, please post! We are learning as much as we can. but are hearts are broken and our heads are spinning....He needs to get a pt scan to see if other lymph nodes are affected..Please share your thoughts!!
thank you......The Austin Family and friends

That's a pretty shiney new Trek!! Congrats!! But you might want to check the quick releases. I try to keep my levers closer to the fork and dropout so they have less chance to get snagged and released. Not that it's happened a whole lot, I'm just paranoid.
Might want to look at the pics of the other bikes to see what I mean.


text:
It's true that many of us sometimes wonder if we're crazy. Our friends accuse us of wasting money on our freeze-dried food, and sometimes spouses get downright angry at the purchase of a new firearm or more ammo. It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that some preppers suffer from occasional self-doubts.
A friend pointed out an article to me, "The Seven Differences Between Winners and Losers," and I started feeling rather good about myself and my Survival Mom activities. You can read the whole article at the link, but take a look at these statements and see if it doesn't give a nice boost to your confidence.
1. Winners do things losers won't do.
Yep. We dehydrate and can massive amounts of tomatoes, herbs, and just about anything else that sits in one place for very long. We build and then stock root cellars. We put up with cackling chickens who poop way too much just so that we can have a supply of fresh eggs, and sometimes, fresh chicken. We move to homesteads at the ripe old age of 40 or 50 and learn all the ropes of living out in the country, nowhere near a Starbucks or a Cheesecake Factory.
2. Winners fail more often than losers.
Have I told you about that entire 30 pound box of peppers that I let rot because I was afraid of getting a chemical burn? Or the massive amount of peaches I dutifully sliced and froze, just to watch them turn a disgusting brown color in the freezer? I don't know how many loaves of bread I tried to bake in my Sun Oven before I realized I was using the wrong type of pan. Loaf after loaf, they collapsed long before turning that nice golden brown. I'm embarrassed to say that it took more than a month for me to figure out what I was doing wrong. Probably the only thing worse was the time I made Mother Earth's "Five Minutes a Day Fresh-Baked Bread" and forgot to add the yeast. Yeah, as a Survival Mom I've experienced more than my fair share of failures.
3. Winners are optimistic while losers are pessimistic.
When it comes to preparing and surviving, most people mistakenly believe that we are the pessimists, while those who still live in Fantasyland are the true optimists. However, the exact opposite is true. Preparing for calamity and believing you can survive and continue to thrive is the ultimate, optimistic point of view. We believe that life is still worth living and that everything we hold dear is worth fighting for and preserving. You'll never hear one of us say, "If things go really bad, I just want to die!"
4. Winners know what they're trying to do while losers go with the flow.
Bottom line: we are working toward maintaining a stable life for our families, no matter what happens. If we were content to go with the flow, we'd spend our spare time playing solitaire on the computer, buying things we couldn't afford, and watching reality TV. Preppers have a focus that gives us energy and purpose, and ultimately, peace of mind.
5. Winners take responsibility for their own lives while losers point the finger elsewhere.
Isn't this characteristic the main reason you started prepping? Like me, you couldn't stand the notion of standing in line waiting to be processed into a FEMA shelter or putting out your hand for a few groceries. Preppers tend to be stubborn when it comes to taking care of themselves and shunning the sometimes heavy hand of government.
6. Winners work harder than losers.
I'm not going to malign every non-prepper as a loser because I don't believe that's true. However, having a preparedness mindset and being proactive takes additional time, energy, money, focus, and sometimes, hard work. It's not easy to get a vegetable garden started in a patch of barren earth or can 30 quarts of tomatoes on a hot summer day. And, it's not easy learning new skills as an adult who is already stretched thin between family and work responsibilities. What keeps us going is the desire to establish supplies, skills, knowledge, and security now, on this side of a major crisis rather than waiting in hopes that life always remains on an even keel.
7. Winners act. Losers wait
Preppers know that time waits for no man. A hurricane, tornado, earthquake, or job loss is highly likely, depending on where you live. A government that is trillions of dollars in debt will eventually beget a country in turmoil. Why wait for the other shoe to drop when being proactive will reap huge dividends?
8. Winners are patient. Losers give up easily.
Being prepared for an uncertain future takes time, and there is no set date for the S hitting the fan. It's tempting to give up and say, "So-and-so's prediction of _____ didn't come true, so I'm going to stop all this prepper stuff." Prognosticators, such as Gerald Celente, Peter Schiff, and others give their best guess as to what might happen, but there are so many elements coming together in a perfect storm that its exact course is impossible for anyone to predict. Winners do what they can, when they can, and focus on long-term goals.
I'll bet you had no idea what an amazing winner you really are!
