text: Explore The Atlantic seaboard The City Centre The southern suburbs Table Mountain The Atlantic seaboard The False Bay seaboard Table Mountain National Park – Cape of Good Hope The Cape Flats and the townships Share Table Mountain's steep drop into the ocean along much of the western peninsula forces the suburbs along the Atlantic seaboard into a ribbon of developments clinging dramatically to the slopes. The sea washing the west side of the peninsula can be very chilly, far colder than on the False Bay seaboard. Although not ideal for bathing, the Atlantic seaboard offers mind-blowing views from some of the most incredible coastal roads in the world, particularly beyond Sea Point, and there are opportunities for whale-spotting. The coast itself consists of a series of bays and white-sanded beaches edged with smoothly sculpted bleached rocks; inland, the Twelve Apostles, a series of rocky buttresses, gaze down onto the surf. The beaches are ideal for sunbathing, or sunset picnics – it's from this side of the peninsula that you can watch the sun sink into the ocean, creating fiery reflections on the sea and mountains behind as it slips away. Making the most of the views, and beautiful people-watching, are some of the city's trendiest outdoor cafés and bars. Read More

Carter Scores 21 Points In WBB's OT Loss At CMU
MT. PLEASANT, Mich. - In a game that mimicked the first meeting between the Cardinals and the Chippewas, the Ball State women's basketball team suffered an 85-72 overtime loss for the second time this season at Central Michigan Thursday night in McGuirk Arena.
With the loss, Ball State falls to 11-15 overall and 6-9 in the MAC, while the Chippewas improved to 18-9 for the year and 14-1 in league play.
There were five lead changes in the second half and the score was tied six times. The Cardinals had four players reach double figures with Brittany Carter scoring a season high 21 points which included six three point baskets. Shelbie Justice and Nathalie Fontaine each added 15 points while Brandy Woody ended the night with 11.
Central Michigan opened the second half strong taking its first lead of the ball game, 39-37, at the 14:55 mark. After that, both teams traded baskets up until the 7:28 mark when the Cardinals then put together a 13-5 run to go up 63-55 with 4:17 left on the clock. The run came off of baskets from Woody along with two three point baskets from Carter and Justice.
With 3:56 left to play, Central Michigan orchestrated a 14-6 run and would tie the game 69-69 off of a three point basket from Jessica Green with nine seconds on the clock to put the game into overtime.
The Chippewas took advantage of the overtime rattling off nine straight points to go up (78-69) with 2:03 remaining, Central Michigan's would continue to control the remainder of the game for the 85-72 victory.
Carter opened the game with a three point basket to give Ball State the early 3-0 edge over Central Michigan. The Cardinals led the entire first half, with Ball State's largest lead being eight (25-17) at the 6:10 mark and then again 27-19 with 2:57 remaining in the half. Central Michigan quickly put together a 6-0 run to cut Ball State's lead down to two (29-27) with 44 seconds on the clock. Woody would then close the half with a layup and a free throw, giving the Cardinals the 32-27 advantage over the Chippewas at intermission.
The Ball State women's basketball team continues Mid-American Conference action in the state of Michigan Saturday, when the Cardinals travel to Western Michigan for a 2 p.m. tipoff in Read Fieldhouse.

Field Expeditions
The NASA vision for Space Exploration involves humans living and working on the surfaces of the Moon and Mars. These natural enviornments pose significant challenges and opportunities for human explorers. The next generation of space explorers (those currently in elementary and middle school) needs to understand how to establish and maintain scientific outposts in harsh environments. They must be trained to live and work in these environments and learn how to explore the surfaces of these worlds.
The Spaceward Bound Field Expeditions involve pre-service and in-service teachers in authentic fieldwork so that they can bring that experience back to their classrooms and assist in the development of curriculum related to human exploration of remote and extreme environments.
Teachers join world-renowned planetary scientists to live and work at remote and isolated Moon/Mars analog research sites. They study exploration and technology topics such as:
By day teachers work in the field alongside scientists. By night they participate in groups to analyze, design and plan how their daytime experiences can be leveraged in their classrooms under the overarching theme of developing a "pedagogy of exploration."
Opportunities exist for Spaceward Bound alumni to mentor future expedition cohorts.

Combining a sense of artistic whimsy with cutting-edge design, the Wanderlust in Singapore's Little India was created with adventurous travelers in mind. Hotel owner Loh Lik Peng, a local hero after the success of his New Majestic Hotel, gave four design firms one floor each to create their own interpretation of contemporary style and comfort. Designed by Asylum, the lobby has a glam industrial vibe. Upstairs, the 29 guestrooms run the gamut from vivid candy colors (Phunk Studio) and arty black-and-white minimalism (DP Architects) to one-of-a-kind duplex apartments (fFurious). Set in a historic 1920s building, the beautiful Art-Nouveau mosaic on the Wanderlust's facade hints at the cheeky patchwork of 21st-century design it now houses. The hotel's casual French restaurant Cocotte, meanwhile, has proved to be an instant hit with the locals. With eye-popping design and friendly service, Wanderlust delivers on Peng's desire that his hotels be like 'playgrounds for grown-ups.'
Rooms & Suites
For each of Wanderlust's four floors an independent design team created an uninhibitedly playful environment. The second-floor guestrooms by Phunk Studio are defined by a vivid and uniform color that is used on every surface – from walls and floors to furnishings, curtains, and even the tiles in the open bathrooms. On the third floor, DP Architects has created crisp all-white rooms that are set off by black hallways. Some rooms feature boldly angled and faceted ceilings that evoke Japanese origami. And in the top floor duplex apartments, designed by fFurious, surprises include a giant typewriter that doubles as a sofa and a clunky red space rocket with friendly looking (stuffed) aliens.
A Story Box Full of Wonders
A former school and charity administration building set amid the hurly-burly of a bustling immigrant and commercial district, the early 20th-century structure has an amazing façade, adorned with a colorful Art Nouveau mosaic that first caught Loh Lik Peng's attention. Walking inside, he discovered that the whole affair was flooded with sunshine from a giant skylight. 'Singaporean buildings are usually so dark,' he says. 'I knew instantly that I could do something amazing with this.' That "something amazing" was to hand over each of the building's four floors to a different design firm—not interior designers but graphic designers and architects with no hotel experience. The goal was to create fresh, outside-the-box takes on 21st-century hospitality for the hotel's public spaces and 29 guest rooms.
Interior Design
Wild, Wonderful, Wacky, Wanderlust
Vivid colors, cheeky mismatched designer furniture, quirky stuffed animals, and friendly monsters in the guest rooms are the first hints that this property is not about stuffy attitude and stiff service. A giant typewriter that doubles as a sofa is among the many surprises in the hotel's top floor duplex apartments, designed by fFurious.
Made by Originals
Loh Lik Peng
Loh Lik Peng's global lifestyle draws him to different places for different reasons. The intimate scale of Dublin reminds him of his childhood, while London's East End is all about the energetic vibe and the sense that new things are happening all the time. He opened his first venture, Hotel 1929, in a former brothel in Singapore's red-light district in 2003. With its swank design and instant buzz, 1929 became a popular destination for travelers and locals alike. Three years later he opened the New Majestic and upped the style quotient in Singaporean hospitality even further. New properties opened recently in Singapore where he now lives, Shanghai, London, and Sydney. And not one of them is located in what your average guidebook would have considered the "right" kind of neighborhood—that is until his properties have put their once-undesirable districts on the style map.

A web hosting can be described, in the most basic of terms, as the home of your web site or online resource. Web hosts are an integral part of any online venture, business or otherwise, and it pays to do your home work before arbitrarily choosing a web host as the decision will have an impact on the outcome of your online venture.
Trying to select a good web host doesn't have to be difficult, though it is if you are unprepared, and is a simple matter of understanding your needs and finding the right web host that provides the services that meet those needs.
What to look for in a good web host?
That is the central question and the answer can be broken down as such:
Customer Support
First and foremost you need to look at the customer services, such as the options available to acquire support like email, chat, phone; available forums through which you may find assistance from other users of the host, any documentation that intricately lays out the services provided and thus allows you to analyze any problems that arise and generate solutions etc. Basically it doesn't matter how effective a service you acquire from a host is, be it dedicated hosting, shared hosting, virtual, if you are suddenly abandoned the moment a problem arises.
Disk Space
Every web host will make available to you a specific amount of disk space to use for your online resource; the disk space might be a specific amount or an unlimited package; most people will aim for unlimited without realizing that it most likely isn't exactly unlimited, and isn't automatically better than limited space. Simply consider your needs and acquire the disk space you need, while ensuring that if you select unlimited the trade offs do not hurt your online activities. And of course there is the cost factor
Bandwidth simply refers to the amount of data that can be passed to customers over a certain period, and like disk space web hosts will offer different bandwidth packages; and just like with disk space it isn't always prudent to assume that unlimited bandwidth is necessarily the best. It all comes down to needs and whether your acquired bandwidth package meets the requirements of your online resource, taking into account variables such as your online resource's graphical capabilities and of course costs. Keep in mind the repercussions of exceeding your allocated bandwidth.
Up Time
This refers to the amount of time the hosting server spends up and running, and while most hosts will promise up to 99% up time, remember that all servers go down at some point for any number of reasons. Simply take into consideration the remunerations offered when the server goes down.
Some people forget to take into consideration the programming language such as PHP and ASP. Not every developer is contended with HTML. Keep in mind that while most hosting companies will offer additional services such as domain names and web analysis tools, do not let them wheedle you into purchasing and paying for services you do not need.
Over all choosing a web host might sometimes come down to price. Of course you should never use price as the sole reason for choosing a host, yet be sure to avoid overpaying or underpaying, because even free web hosting has its downsides.
The most popular web hosts in the market for last several years have been Bluehost and Hostgator. If you want to check out their features and services, visit hostingtitan.org. Here you'll also find best Bluehost Coupon and latest Hostgator Coupon Code.

Four Fridays ago, 118 boys received their diplomas in a ceremony at Our Lady of Victory Basilica in Lackawanna, making up the 2013 Class of St. Francis High School.
Some will go on to become doctors and lawyers. Others will choose civil service or education as a career.
Still others may defy the seemingly infinitesimal odds and become general managers in our country's most popular sport.
On consecutive days this winter, two graduates of this small Franciscan school on the shores of Lake Erie made headlines in the National Football League.
David Caldwell was first. A 38-year-old member of the Class of 1992, Caldwell was named the Jacksonville Jaguars' general manager Jan. 8.
A day later, Caldwell's teammate on the 1990 St. Francis varsity squad followed him into the NFL GM ranks when Tom Telesco accepted the job with the San Diego Chargers. Telesco, 40, is a Class of 1991 graduate.
If that weren't amazing enough, another teammate on that squad, Brian Polian, became the head coach at Nevada on Jan. 7, one of only 125 such jobs in the country.
Polian, of course, is the son of Bill Polian, architect of the great Buffalo Bills teams of the early '90s and one of the best executives the NFL has ever known. The elder Polian is also the man who gave both Telesco and Caldwell their first jobs in professional football.
In the spotlight
In his introductory news conference in San Diego, Telesco promised to work "365 days a year" to turn the Chargers into winners.
Reserved by nature, he'd prefer to do that work behind the scenes, but he hasn't shied away from making bold moves in his first five-plus months on the job.
Since Telesco took over, he hired Mike McCoy as coach, committed to Philip Rivers as the team's quarterback and traded up to take one of the most polarizing players in the 2013 NFL Draft in Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o.
"The draft process is essentially a 12-month process of getting ready, so we squeezed a lot of work in," Telesco said during a recent phone interview with the News. "There's been a lot of transition here and it's natural in this business and professional sports in general that you're going to have transition. Everyone here has embraced it and worked really hard, so it's gone smoothly."
The NFL does not keep records on the backgrounds of executives, so it's unknown if two general managers working at the same time have ever come from the same high school. But regardless of how historic the circumstance may be, Telesco and Caldwell both agree this is no time for reflection.
"I'm not a big reflector, anyway," Telesco said. "Everyone has a job to do, and you come in and just keep working on it. So we haven't had a chance to sit back and see where we are. I'd be afraid to do that anyway, because the more time I spend doing that, the less I'll have getting better here."
Caldwell squeezed time in for a phone interview with the News during a drive from Jacksonville to Atlanta earlier this month. He was going back to the city where he spent the past five years working in the Falcons' front office to help relocate his family to Jacksonville.
"I don't know if it ever stops, where you get a chance to breathe," he said.
Caldwell likewise has been at the forefront of several major decisions in his brief tenure. His first move was to fire Mike Mularkey as coach and subsequently replace him with Gus Bradley. Caldwell also made it clear – at his introductory news conference – that the Jaguars would have no interest in bringing in hometown hero Tim Tebow to play quarterback.
"We used to laugh about it back when we were scouting assistants: 'Could you ever imagine being a general manager?'" Caldwell said. "And here we are about 17 years later."
While Telesco and Caldwell come from the Polian tree, the real roots of their success stem from the seeds planted in the tiny hamlet of Athol Springs.
"I guess our careers are a little more interesting just because it's the National Football League and there's a lot of exposure to it, but there are so many successful people that have come out of St. Francis in all different walks of life, doing all different careers," Telesco said. "The school, academically, did a great job preparing me for college. But more so, there are just great people there. The teachers, the faculty, to me they always showed a lot of interest in the students both in the classroom and outside the classroom."
The thread that ties together not just Telesco, Caldwell and Brian Polian, but thousands of kids who have come through the program, is 25-year football coach Jerry Smith and his assistant for that entire time, John Scibetta.
"Jerry and John just have a great passion for the game and it kind of rubs off on everybody and it rubbed off on me," Telesco said. "Everything I learned fundamentals wise in football that I use today is from John and Jerry."
A mentor to many
With his shaved head and goatee, and a voice that sounds like he gargles with gravel, the 54-year-old Smith looks like he's come to the sidelines straight from Central Casting.
In the 65-year history of their football program, the Red Raiders have won or shared 14 Monsignor Martin titles. Smith owns 12 of those, including a run of five straight from 2000-04.
Just don't ask him what his career record is.
"I've always told the kids that I'm not in it for the 'Ws' and 'Ls,' never have been," he said. "That takes care of itself if you do things the right way."
His career record, for the record, is 131-109-4.
Smith has a simple reason when asked why he's made St. Francis his home.
"Quite honestly, it comes down to the kids themselves. They get in your heart," he said. "When you show them that you truly care, they bust their hump for you in everything. Not only in the athletic end of it, but the arts end of it, the academic end of it. Just being that Renaissance man.
"You see it every year, the talent that these guys have. Here, if you don't try to be smart, everybody gets on your case. They say, 'you're not doing the work. You need to do the work.' That's what's amazing."
Smith arrived at St. Francis in 1981, starting as an assistant for his mentor, legendary coach Ray Karney. His plan was to stay for about three years, then go off to a graduate assistant job.
It's been 32 years and counting, and Smith still hasn't gotten that GA job. Scibetta's been at his side the entire time.
"They don't get enough credit for how long they've been at that school for. They're still as passionate now about coaching and developing young men as they were then," Caldwell said. "They lay the foundation of 'this is how you work. This is how you take care of your business.'"
Caldwell learned that lesson in a sit-down conversation he had before his junior season in 1990. Described by Smith as "a little wild back then," he and Scibetta wanted to know if Caldwell was going to commit himself to doing things the right way.
"He ended up making the decision that he did. He said, 'You know what, I'm going to do it the way I'm supposed to do it.' I'm going to take it a little bit more serious. I would say it changed his life," Smith recalled.
"Football is such a team-oriented sport – the ultimate team game – and you have to have a childlike faith in your teammates and your coaches. I think the loyalty aspect of it was really instilled to us at St. Francis," Caldwell said. "I think that has carried me in this business. Throughout my career, and in college, when I said I was going to do something, I think my bosses knew I was going to follow through. And those are the things I learned at St. Francis. Follow through and be loyal to the people you work for and that will carry you a long way, not only in this business, but in life."
Karney served as a father figure for Smith, who was just 8 years old when his own dad passed away. That has been the guiding principle in his coaching career.
When Brian Polian was at the school, the Bills were at the height of their success. Bill Polian was very much in demand.
"My dad was very public at the time, with a TV show or a radio show or whatever he was doing. He wasn't home a lot. I love my father and I have a great relationship with him, but John and Jerry were like surrogate dads to me when I needed one," Brian Polian said. "Part of my strong feelings toward the place and toward the program has a lot to do with that."
"It's very humbling to hear, I'll tell you that," Smith said. "A lot of times, we really don't realize the effect we have on guys. If you're in this profession, especially at our level, you're really not in it for the money. You're in it to give a guy an opportunity to make the right decisions and carry it through their lives. They've done that, so it feels like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing."
Smith's first victory as a head coach in 1988 came with Brian's older brother, Chris, at quarterback. Caldwell hired Chris Polian last month to serve as the Jaguars' director of pro personnel.
Telesco played two years of varsity for Smith as a wide receiver, in 1989 and '90.
"Tommy was a skinny little guy. If he was going to hit someone, we were more concerned about him getting hurt than anything else," Smith said.
Growing up in Hamburg, basketball was Telesco's first love. He was childhood teammates with Brian Polian, and that's how he first came across Bill Polian, who was refereeing one of Telesco's grammar school games.
"I was probably in eighth grade at St. Peter and Paul and he was reffing one of our games," Telesco said. "I remember meeting him then, and then got to know him much better through St. Francis."
Polian's sons were part of the Hamburg Little Cagers program, and he would volunteer as an official from time to time. It was a passion of Polian's long before he got into player evaluation.
"Which is ironic," Brian Polian said, "because nobody was tougher on officials than him."
"That isn't entirely true," Bill Polian said. "We have a difference of opinion on that."
Caldwell was on varsity in the '90 and '91 seasons. As a senior, he was joined by Brian Polian and Brian Daboll – currently an assistant coach with the New England Patriots – on a team that went 8-0-1 and won Smith his first league title.
The next year, the team went 8-1 to win another league championship. In the only loss of the season, 20-18 against Lackawanna, Daboll – who was one of the team captains along with Brian Polian – didn't play because of a broken thumb suffered the week before.
"I still think to this day if we have him on defense in that game, they're not completing what they did," Smith said. "I don't think there was anybody on the team that could match his intensity. He coaches that way now, too."
Daboll went from St. Francis to the University of Rochester, where he played for two seasons. His big coaching break came when he was a graduate assistant under Nick Saban at Michigan State in 1998. He's gone on to serve as the offensive coordinator for three teams – Cleveland, Miami and Kansas City – in the NFL.
"Jerry and John had a big impact on just about everything that I've done since I've left there," Daboll said. "The way they handled you as young men, the discipline they taught you, not only were they very good football coaches, but they were really good mentors."
The St. Francis connection to the NFL continues beyond those members of the graduating classes between 1989 and '93.
Kyle Smith, the son of former Bills executive A.J. Smith, is an '02 graduate working as a regional scout for the Washington Redskins.
Luke Tasker, son of former Bills great Steve Tasker, is an '09 graduate who is an undrafted free agent receiver signed by Telesco with the Chargers. The GM said he's been impressive so far.
"They're all pretty much the same as they were in high school. They just have a little bit more mature outlook to things," Smith said of the high-profile members of his program. "But their work ethic is the same. They were relentless in what they did. They knew how to work hard and they knew how to have a good time after they did."
Work hard, play hard
One of Brian Polian's favorite memories – at least that he can tell in a family newspaper – is of Caldwell's "speech" in English class.
"David got up, he had to give a verbal report, and he did the 'Art of Silence' and stood there and stared at the class for two minutes," Brian Polian said. "I'm not quite sure how Mr. Malloy took it."
Not well, in Caldwell's recollection.
"I think I had to do it over," Caldwell said. "It probably wasn't one of my finer moments, but we did have a good time. And those are some of things that built our camaraderie and the relationships that we have. Hey, you live and you learn. I was a good student, but I probably wasn't the most well-behaved student."
Smith and Scibetta weren't the only ones to set Caldwell straight.
Rev. Joseph Benicewicz, the former principal of the school, has remained a mentor to Caldwell.
"We still keep in contact, and he's been an incredible influence on my life," Caldwell said. "In some of the instances where I did run awry and do some of the stupid things like I did in Mr. Malloy's class, he'd take me aside and say, 'now why did you do this?' He helped me mature over the years."
Caldwell, who grew up in West Seneca, said the biggest impact the school had on him is the relationships built over four years.
"We have a running email with 20 or 25 guys from our graduating class that still get together. It's a very tight-knit group," he said. "Last year we got together for the 20th reunion and we just left off like it was 1992. It's funny how much things change but the people stay the same."
The football field is only one area where the group bonded.
"My favorite memories have very little to do with football, actually," Brian Polian said. "It was usually the mischief I was involved in. Hanging out at David Caldwell's house with his family. His sister, Judy, used to cut our hair in the basement of their house. I mean, we go back that far."
The friendships would only get stronger.
Off to John Carroll
Chris Polian was the first to head west on the I-90 for college at John Carroll University, the small Division III school in suburban Cleveland with a rich history of graduates moving on to the NFL.
Telesco followed soon after, as did Caldwell and Brian Polian.
"Chris was a couple years ahead of me and during the Thanksgiving break I'd hitch a ride with him," Caldwell said. "There was some familiarity there, which was a good thing for all of us. It was when we were in college that we became much closer friends."
Chris Polian and Telesco played wide receiver for the Blue Streaks, while Caldwell and Brian Polian – who were roommates – were linebackers.
Chris Polian graduated college in '93, missing out on John Carroll's Ohio Athletic Conference championship a year later.
When he was getting ready to graduate in 1996, Caldwell knew he wanted to pursue a career in football. He just wasn't sure in what capacity.
One night when Bill Polian was in town, Brian suggested that Caldwell might be interested in an internship. After a John Carroll game, Caldwell and Bill Polian, who was the Carolina Panthers' general manager at the time, discussed the possibility over dinner.
A job as a scouting assistant eventually opened up, and Caldwell jumped at the opportunity. Telesco – who had worked as a summer intern with the Bills during training camp between the 1991-94 seasons – had taken the same job a season earlier in 1995.
"To their credit, both of those guys took entry-level positions that paid next to nothing and have turned it into one of 32 jobs in the league," Brian Polian said.
Starting from the bottom
An open door is one thing, but it's what you do after walking through it that really resonates.
Chris Polian's first job in football came as a player personnel assistant with the Sacramento Gold Miners, America's first team in the Canadian Football League in 1993.
Brian Polian started as a graduate assistant at Michigan State in 1997, the year before Daboll arrived. From there, he worked for the University at Buffalo, Baylor, Central Florida, Notre Dame, Stanford and Texas A&M.
When Telesco and Caldwell started with the Panthers, they were making less than $25,000.
"All four of those guys have made it strictly on their own," said Bill Polian, who was Panthers GM from 1994-97. "Every one of them started at the bottom and worked their way up. The only thing that helped was the fact they knew somebody in the business, but that's where it ended. Everything else, they did on their own."
Caldwell was only 22 years old at the time, without a family, which afforded him the flexibility to be the first one in and last one out. That work ethic – which was shared by Telesco – quickly made an impression.
"It was pretty obvious that they were going to be top-flight people in the business from a relatively early age. As time went on, we gave them more and more responsibility," Bill Polian said.
Polian said it was apparent "almost from the get go" he had two future stars on staff.
"They always went that extra mile in terms of doing everything that it took to get the complete picture of a player. They had personalities that exuded leadership and professionalism, and at the same time were very, very easy to get along with," Polian said. "Obviously, they came to Indianapolis with us, and by that time it was clear they were headed for big things."
With the Colts, Telesco served as an area scout (1998-2000), pro scout (01-03), director of pro scouting (2005), director of player personnel (2006-11) and vice president of football operations (2012).
"He's a mentor, but he's even more than that," Telesco said of Bill Polian. "They're like family to me just because I've been with them so long and they've been so good to me. I obviously keep in contact with him. He's such a great resource that it'd be hard not to. At a young age, he gave me a little bit more responsibility than I'd even earned at that point, but it was just part of his teaching process.
"You're a product of who you've worked with and worked for. I was just lucky enough to work for, in my estimation, one of the best team builders in any sport, not just football."
Caldwell joined Telesco and Bill Polian in Indianapolis in 1998, working as an area scout from 1998 to 2007 before joining the Falcons as director of college scouting (2008-11) and director of player personnel (2012).
Telesco had a good laugh when asked if he's made his first trade call to Caldwell yet.
"No, but shoot, I'll trade with anybody. It doesn't have to be him, as long as I get a deal done," he said. "But it does make it easier knowing the person on the other end of the phone really well."
Always home
Caldwell and his wife, Joelle, had their son, David Michael, baptized in the chapel at St. Francis. So did Brian Polian and his wife, Laura, with their daughter, Charlotte, who joined older brother Aidan.
"For me, and I know my brothers feel this way, Buffalo's home and will always be home. I'm the only guy in America who over spring break in March, I go to Buffalo," Brian Polian said. "We christened my daughter there St. Patrick's Day weekend in the chapel at St. Francis. I miss being back there."
Polian was determined to pay it forward after getting his first head coaching job. One of his first moves was to hire a graduate assistant – Pat Denecke – who's a 2006 St. Francis graduate.
"I always said when I got my first job that I was going to get somebody from home and give them their first break," Polian said. "Pat played for John and Jerry. He's been great."
It all begs the question: How does Smith keep up?
After all, he's got more than 30 players currently on college rosters, bringing the total number of players he's sent to the next level to nearly 200.
"With technology the way it is, I can put all the schools in my phone and get the updates on each," he said. "My phone blows up on Saturdays and Sundays."
As for knowing what to root for when Telesco's and Caldwell's teams meet Oct. 20, he's already thought about that.
"Simple. A tie."

The 2011 NBA Playoffs will crown a new champion for the first time in two years and could see a new team take home a title for the first time in three seasons.
The two-time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers crashed out of the postseason as ingloriously as is humanly possible, falling completely apart in a Game 4 dismantling at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks, while the Boston Celtics still trail the Miami Heat by a game in their series.
Few teams have delivered a showing as unimpressive as the one submitted by Kobe and company in Game 4. Thanks to their colossal defensive inadequacies, the Lakers found themselves down 24 points at the half and never managed anything resembling a comeback.
The Lakers' Game 4 performance ranks as the most lackluster showing by a defending champ in recent memory. It was like they'd given up and weren't even trying to win after the first quarter, and as a result, they got buried.
If that's not enough for you to whet your sports appetite, Brett Favre has talked about potentially coaching (which sounds like a terrible idea to me) or getting in the broadcast booth (a fantastic idea) at some point.
Right now, though, he seems to be preparing for another offseason of "I might be coming back" drama, lockout or not.
On top of that, the Chicago Bulls managed to give away Game 4 to the Hawks thanks to a defensive letdown down the stretch. Now they head to Chicago for Game 5 and another chance to take control of the series.
In other words, it's shaping up to be a wild day in the world of sports.

I purchased this (my 3rd True Writer) in Pink...It is gorgeous - swirly, pearly and richly colored. I use my pens every day and they never fail to perform. I recommend trying the Fiber Tip refills, too; they are a pleasure to write with.Levenger pens make sensational gifts and all come beautifully packaged. The presentation is impressive and luxurious - sure to delight your recipient (and make them think you spent much more than $46!). I have recommended them to friends looking for a quality gift at a reasonable price.I would also like to praise Levenger customer service. Buy with confidence, because this company stands behind everything they sell. I shop here frequently and on the rare occasion a problem has occurred, it has been corrected quickly and cheerfully. What more could you ask?Now...I am headed over to the fountain pen section to pick out a little something for myself...

I have begun writing in a nice journal that I bought and wanted a nice pen to help with building this new habit. I picked out and purchased a True Writer Kyoto rollerball pen. I selected it because I really liked its colors and design. Almost immediately after my new pen was delivered and I started using it I became very disappointed with its quality. The threaded connection where the pen comes apart for cartridge replacement constantly loosens up. I have to retighten it many times during a writing session. As I write with the pen and that joint begins to loosen the pen makes an annoying creaking sound. It seems like the pen is poorly designed with those threads being too fine and not able to hold up. My overall impression is that I paid too much money for another cheaply made pen.

Great pen. The roller ball is smooth and reliable for quick notes. Feels great in the hand, and the colors are simply delicious!
Beautiful Pen
By PenSnob
from Undisclosed
I bought this pen as a gift for my husband. While the photos are pretty, I think that they dont due true justice to the beuty of this pen. My husband commented about how light and well balanced it felt in his hand. I scored some a few points with THIS gift.
Not just another pretty pen
By MichiganScribe
from East Lansing, Michigan
This is the fist pen I purchased from Levenger, on the advice of a friend. It wont be my last. The price seemed unusual for a pen, but, its more than a pen. It's a statement. Love pulling it out to write a check or sign a receipt. The color is true to how it appears on the website and it ink flows smoothly.
Move Over Mounteverde
By EGRMS
from Lancaster, PA
This pen was purchased to replace a Mountverde pen that kept malfunctioning. The marbeled barrel is a near perfect match to what I had - the exception was I elected for a fine point rollerball tip vs. a medium point. As previous reviewers noted - the fine point tip is the perfect choice for detailed forms but comes up a bit short on the flawless signature aspect. Over all, I am pleased with the purchase and the pens performance.
Bring Back the Gold
By DrJeanGray
from Manhattan, NY
I love the TrueWriter pens, particularly the Kyoto, but the change to silver doesn't make sense. Perhaps the cost to produce a gold tone pen went up? I would be more than willing to pay a premium and believe many others feel the same.
Amazing Pen!
By Silverdust
I just received this pen in the mail and it is truly amazing! First, it is beautiful. I keep looking at it and seeing all the different specks of color. It's like looking into a prism -- just fascinating. It has a wonderful feel--weighty, yet well-balanced in the hand. It writes smoothly and easily and does not blot. I am completely pleased with this purchase and feel I have a pen that is worthy of a professional image.
Wready for Writing
By llohans
from Argyle, TX
Excellent craftsmanship throughout the pen. Easy to hold and angled correctly for both upright and slanted writing. Easy to use both right and left handed. My wife took my last one as soon as she saw it. Lots of inquiries as to where to buy due to its distinctive style and colors. Shows not wear after 4 years of regular use. Great Product!!
Was the perfect pen ....
By foggyworld
from NJ
But I see the former gold fittings are now silver toned. The gold color went perfectly with the brown tortoise shell pen and I need a new one but will wait until the gold returns.I do have a spare fortunately but will miss the convenience of having one in my purse and one in my desk.Silver and brown just are jarring. At least to me. But it is by far the best pen I have ever owned.

When most people think of jumping rope, they hark back to their childhood days or conjure images of a boxer training to build his endurance.
Mix in gymnastics and use two ropes instead of one and you have the sport of Double Dutch.
While two people turn the ropes in opposite directions, a third and sometimes a fourth jump inside the twirling ropes and compete in three disciplines: speed, compulsory moves and tricks.
It's a sport that's every bit as hard as it looks.
Laquetta Williams, an employee with the Charleston Recreation Department, has been coaching Double Dutch for 15 to 16 years and has children of all ages, including the Jazzy Jumpers, a team of four third- and fourth-graders.
"I never participated but I had a daughter on one of my first teams," Williams said during a late-afternoon practice session at Mitchell Playground on Fishburne Street.
She said she knew how to jump but not how to jump for competition. Williams said she learned the sport by watching others, including watching videos of the sport. When she sees something new, she brings it back to her teams.
Double Dutch can be traced to ancient times and probably made its way to America with the Dutch settlers who came to what is now New York, where the world championships will be held later this year.
It is a particularly popular sport in urban areas because the only equipment needed is a pair of ropes: 12 foot for singles and 14 feet for doubles.
Williams said Double Dutch coaches can teach children to jump rope, but if they have the ability to do flips and other gymnastics, that adds to their potential. And it requires a lot of practice. They first practice the tricks outside the rope then try to learn while actually moving inside the spinning ropes.
"The toughest part is getting the children to be focused," said Williams, whose 4-year-old granddaughter has picked up the sport while attending practices.
And it's not just a sport for girls. Williams said boys also participate, although many of them are involved in other sports.
"I started because of a friend. I thought it would be a fun thing to do," said Jondalyn Grant, 9, and a student at Burns Elementary School in North Charleston.
Grant said her specialty is being a turner, helping spin the ropes.
Williams said the jumpers begin practicing in October and competitions begin in February and continue through June. Before competitions begin, they usually practice twice a week but increase that to four or five times a week for the bigger events.
The first event they usually participate in is called a jump-off, which can be likened to an exhibition.
Judges critique the jumpers so they will know how they can maximize their scores in actual competitions. They continue with regionals and state, and the top two teams in each division at the state contest advance to the world championship.
The speed contest is a two-minute drill based on how many steps a jumper makes inside the ropes. Compulsory moves include left-foot turns, right-foot turns, criss-crosses and high steps.
Tricks include gymnastic moves, including falling to the floor, jumping and kicks.

Who Cultural Arts Alliance (CAA)
What: Is sponsoring its third Juried Photography Show and sale for amateur and professional alike
Where: Summerville Town Hall
When: Opening Tuesday, December 4. Opening Reception Wednesday, December 6 from 5-7 pm. Closing: Friday, February 8
How: Enter through website: townhallartshow.com. Detailed contracts from Finishing Touch, People, Places and Quilts, and Town Hall, all located on Richardson Avenue. Photo intake is Friday, November 30, from 3-7 p.m. Judging takes place the weekend of November 30
The three CAA members coordinating the photography show are Meg Skow, John Lindroth and Jane Orenstein. Ive been a long-time member of the alliance and can appreciate the hard work and dedication it takes to make these events happen. Past shows have also included paintings, quilts and the best of Dorchester District Two student art: the latter at the present time for exhibition only.
Jane Orenstein, a life-long arts supporter who works both for visual arts and music in Summerville is a founding member of the CAA. It was her idea to have revolving art shows. We worked a long time to make this a reality and are constantly excited at the opportunity to share work with the local community and tourists. As many receptions as possible are multi-faceted, often with background musical vignettes featuring like guitarist David Archer and banjoist Pat Watts.
Professional photographer John Lindroth, who frequently vies for entry into this and other shows, says, For me its getting to share what I think is beautiful with the community as well as to be recognized by having my work displayed at Town Hall.
John, who is a prize-winning photographer, also urges photographers to enter a show again, even if their work was not previously selected. I entered what I thought were two of my best photographs in a previous CAA show and only one was accepted, John said. Ive also entered many works in the fair. The first time I got a third and havent placed since!
Each show has individual judges who change from show to show. Those who compete in art shows submit writing for publication and compete for a winning spot in various scored art and music competitions know that there is a degree of subjectivity in judges' decisions. Selection and/or prizes are not always forthcoming. After all Margaret Mitchell got 38 rejections before "Gone With the Wind" was published!
Meg is a visual arts teacher at Rollings School of the Arts who has been instrumental in including student art displays. Shes also a photographer and says: I appreciate the opportunity to be able to participate as an artist. My main motivation in being with CAA is that I feel like its so important for our community to have a rich arts presence where everyone can be involved.
Mayor Bill Collins told me recently that he thought the CAAs revolving shows are just great and hes gotten a lot of positive citizen feedback. Hes planning to be at the December 6th reception. Ive also talked to several town employees with the consensus that these shows make their work environment sparkle!
Picture yourself against this glistening background and attend the December 6th reception, then come back often to celebrate Summerville.
After all: Tis the season to sparkle!

MUNCY - Sept. 7, 2011, began as just another normal day for Parker Arritt.
He headed to work as a light rain began to fall over much of the area. But by 6:30 p.m. he received a call from his neighbor that people were being evacuated by boat from his street.
With about 14 people in five houses and a duplex, Arritt's attention soon turned to the many animals that also inhabit the neighborhood.
"Between those five houses, there were six dogs, three goats, two cats and a rabbit," Arritt said. "My dogs rushed into my mind and I went to my boss to tell him I had to go."
Arritt was shocked at what he saw. His SUV barely made it through the flood water in the Bloomsburg area. When he hit 80 mph on Interstate 80, he was hoping he might get pulled over to better his chances of getting help.
"I called 911 on the way and attempted to get (the animals) help while I was in transit," Arritt said. "The police said they were only saving property and lives. I told them they were both my property and they are lives. They explained how they lost two boats trying to rescue a mother and her two little kids and had to try to use the hovercraft to get them out."
Arritt's heart sank when he pulled off the highway to look over at his home. The water was just under his windows. Arritt began to search for someone with a boat but had no luck. His next stop was at Dick's Sporting Goods where he bought a raft, life vest and paddle.
But when he discovered the rapidly flowing water that was flooding his street, his plan was put on hold.
Exhausted, he finally pulled into the Best Buy parking lot and fell asleep around 2 a.m. When he awoke at 7 a.m. he drove back to his lookout perch to discover a vehicle with a canoe strapped to its roof.
The owners agreed to navigate the waters to get Arritt to his animals. The water had receded to about 18 inches. When he arrived at his home, Arritt was overwhelmed by the sound of his barking dogs. The ruined television, couch, computer and home could be replaced, but his dogs, he said, could not.
The next day, Arritt made the four-hour trip to his mother's home, where he made arrangements to assess the damage to his property. The road to his home was covered in at least 1-inch of mud. A second car on his property could not be budged and the smell and sight of his home was indescribable.
"I began picking up the pieces that once were my life and shoving them into garbage bags," he said. "Pictures, electronics, clothes, food, awards. I produced 15 bags of trash from two rooms. The baseball cards I've been collecting since I was young, the pictures of my dad in the scrapbook my sister just made for me. Stuff I'll never be able to replace."
FEMA appraised the damage: Around $102,000.
With the help of people from his church he obtained a camper for sleeping and was able to continue his cleanup efforts.
Arritt also reached out to local agencies for assistance and met a man named Kenton, who returned with three members of the Northern Pennsylvania Southern Baptist Disaster Relief Coalition.?They helped Arritt rip out the insides of his home to prepare rebuilding.
When the weather got cold, FEMA replaced Arritt's camper with a trailer.
Things took a better turn for Arritt when he received a call from STEP Inc. STEP's Flood Recovery Program was seeking out flood victim's such as Arritt and was prepared to help restore the home to livable conditions.
In May, Arritt got the extra boost he needed to bring his home back to livable conditions. Lycoming County United Way and STEP Inc. were the recipients of funds from a joint initiative involving Shell Oil and United Way of Pennsylvania.
LCUW was awarded $12,000 to assist flood victims with home restoration. The intended focus of the initiative included housing; rental and mortgage assistance; legal services; and restoration materials.
Scott N. Lowery, executive director of Lycoming County United Way, said he knew exactly who to reach out to when he received word that the grant would soon be available.
"What we wanted to do was to direct the Shell grant funding directly to flood victims who were still in the process of getting back into their homes," Lowery said.
"We contacted Rachelle Abbott at STEP Inc. as we knew they had programs in place to assist homeowners going through the flood recovery phase. Rachelle's assistance helped us to successfully complete the application process for the grant money and identify a home owner recipient."
Arritt's house is well under way to being a home once again.
Unfortunately, Arritt's story took a tragic turn when his stepfather was killed in a trucking accident in July, and he decided to return to New Castle, where his mother resides, for the time being.
"Look up all the programs that the United Way offers and you will find out that they are much more than you think and they provide a lot of valuable and vital programs," Arritt said. "Without donations from donors like yourselves, I would not be around. I would like to thank them and I would like to thank STEP and all the volunteers of all the groups that have been at mine and other's homes. As hard as I was hit and as much damage was done and the little funds I had to work with, there was a family somewhere that was still worse off. We need to get those families the aid they need, as well."
Please consider giving to Lycoming County United Way campaign this year. The affects of your donation reach neighbors in your community just like Arritt, who may be recovering from flood damage or are facing other human service needs, such as homelessness, hunger, or abuse.

5 Crazily Primitive Ways We Use Advanced Technology
We have some pretty amazing technology at our disposal now. Essentially all the world's information is available in our pockets, at any time. And if we want to see that world naked, the same device can help. And if we want to discuss our findings with someone on the other side of the planet -- "Lolwut. Your weiner is bent?" -- that's also pretty straightforward. Any one of these feats is an everyday occurrence to us, and yet the same stunts would have gotten you burned as a witch as little as 20 years ago.
Photos.com/Getty Images
1992. The Whitewater scandal, I think. That's Hillary Clinton up front.
And yet despite all the marvels our technology can perform, for some reason we still use it to do some crazily primitive things. Whether it's because of limits the technology itself has or our own stupid caveman brains struggling to keep up with the modern world, not a day goes by without one of us massively underutilizing something incredibly powerful.
Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images
This woman is seconds away from banging these together to start a fire.
Here, then, are five examples of ways we revert back to the poo-flinging monkeys we're just barely not.
#5. Mobile Mirrors
Obviously I could fill an entire article with ridiculous smartphone apps. There are apps that make fart noises, or turn your $600 smartphone into a $10 mouse, or simulate popping bubble wrap. Also, because the world is too dumb to deserve nice things, apps that turn your phone into a hand warmer.
But instead I'm going to focus not on an app, but a feature that almost all of us have on our phones now, the self-facing camera. Self-facing cameras that we (I at least) basically never use for the video chatting they were designed for, instead more commonly using them for checking if there's something in our teeth.
Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
"Is that turkey? I haven't had turkey in months."
I mean, don't get me wrong, this is actually a pretty useful trick for a smartphone to have, because, you know, I've always got one with me, unlike a mirror. (I'm comfortable with how good I look.) (Also, Gorgons are rare in my area.) And yes, every now and then, like most people, I get an entire onion ring stuck in my headgear and need to fish it out. But the fact that I do this with the help of a supercomputer is both hilarious and insane.
#4. Everything We Do With Voice Mail
Voice mail is categorically the worst. Leaving a voice mail is a hideously awkward experience, as the sender struggles to reconfigure the conversation they were planning on having into a single coherent message, all while self-consciously aware of how stupid their own voice must sound. It's the conversational equivalent of puberty.
Jupiterimages/liquidlibrary/Getty Images
"Hi, uhm, it's ... Mark and ..." -explodes into one thousand zits and elbows-
Meanwhile, receiving a voice mail is essentially a war crime. Depending on which voice mail system you have, this can take up to a minute of button pressing and pauses and timestamps before you even hear the message someone left, at which point you're blessed with the opportunity to hear a co-worker painfully discover the limits of their oratorical skills. All for a message that essentially means: "Derp. Call me when you get a chance."
Which is why every civilized human being, upon calling someone and getting their voice mail, hangs the fuck up and sends them an email. Emails or text messages are faster to access, are faster to read, and provide their own written record, which minimizes the need for everyone involved to scribble down addresses and phone numbers.
Digital Vision/Getty Images
And what everyone is wearing.
And although voice mail might not be the most advanced technology on this list, it is still something that would have made our ... great ... grandparents' ... pets envious, that we're either bludgeoning outright or ignoring completely.
#3. Rebooting Things
Pop quiz, Modern Citizen! What's the very first thing you try when you want to fix something that possesses a power switch? If you answered anything other than "Press the power switch," please report to the nearest ice floe being swept out to sea, because you no longer have a place in this world.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Take some DVDs with you.
But why is this the single piece of computing advice that everyone knows? Why is it so universally effective? Why do our various things need to shut off all the goddamned time? Why can't they recover themselves?
Yes, I understand that our devices are tremendously complicated and exist themselves in tremendously complicated environments. Which means that, yes, there's an exponential number of combinations of states they can be in and stimuli they can experience, not all of which are predictable or recoverable. I get that no matter what we do, our devices will eventually barf and freeze up.
But why isn't there a separate device whose only job is watching the first device and rebooting it when it freezes? Honestly, this is an idiot's job. That's exactly the kind of thing technology is good at doing for us.
Sean Justice/Stockbyte/Getty Images
This man now spends 90 percent less time exploring his own body, thanks to technology.
Also! What about the multiple times a week our machines ask us to reboot them? Software updates regularly pull this stunt, even when they're not very important pieces of software. Or to put it another way, as I explained to my computer the other night, "WHO THE FUCK IS ADOBE AIR AND WHY ARE ITS UPDATES STANDING BETWEEN ME AND THE REST OF MY DAY?"
"Who are you? Who invited you to this party? What are you doing in the fridge?"
The explanation for this nonsense -- that software updates need to replace core files that cannot be touched while the computer is running -- is itself only a half-response. Why don't they just, you know, change the part of the operating system that can't update itself without being turned off? Other operating systems, like Linux and other Unix derivatives, require far less reboots.
I don't know. I get annoyed just thinking about it. We've all just accepted reboots as part of our lives, without questioning why, all the time steadily moving toward a world where we treat technology as an almost mystical thing, not understanding how it works, only knowing the rituals it demands of us.

I'm tired of it all.
I'm tired of being told to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have any work ethic. Being told the government will take my money I earned; by force if necessary and give it to people too lazy to work.
I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of peace," when every day we can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor".
I'm tired of being told that "race doesn't matter" in post-racial world of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them most).
I'm tired of the liberal news media who told us that Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but thinks Obama's at triple the cost, were wonderful. They slammed Palin, with two years as governor for being too inexperienced for VP, but touts Obama with minimal time as a US senator as potentially the best president ever.
I'm tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime. What's next? Calling drug dealers "undocumented pharmacists"?
I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know their only mistake was getting caught.
I'm tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.

Avoid These Three "Short-Term" Loans
In an ideal world, when you needed to borrow some money, you could just walk into your bank and just ask. However, banks are funny in that they generally are willing to give you money when you don't need it but are less forthcoming when you actually need it. In these harder economic times, those in need of money may be tempted to turn towards other "financial institutions" for short term loans and I'm here to try to dissuade you. These are horrible short-term loans with horrible terms (and their high probability of becoming extremely expensive long term loans) and should be your last resort if you're in need of cash.
"Refund Anticipation Loans"
These are loans offered by tax preparation firms based on your tax return. They offer them because they know exactly how much of a return you'll be getting, when you'll be getting it, and how much money they'll be making by lending you that money a few weeks early. They're expensive loans, despite how safe they are, and they're packed with tons of fees. The industry earned over a billion dollars in 2006, I wonder how many of those dollars were earned from folks who didn't know they were getting a loan in the first place? Probably more than you'd think.
Payday Loans
Need a few extra bucks to make it through to your next paycheck? How about a little extra scratch so you can get a gift that's extra special? Payday loans typically have ridiculous high interest rates (think four digits and that's not counting the decimal places) and their fees are atrocious. The scary part about payday loans is that most people only get one for a few hundred dollars so it doesn't seem like all that much… then they get socked with fees and then something goes bad and then before you know it you're going down the mountain with one ski and a prayer.
Credit Card Cash Advances
You might be tempted to stick your credit card into an ATM and simply withdraw some money but take heed. In addition to the interest you may pay by carrying that balance from month to month, cash advances are typically charged an additional fee based on the amount withdrawn. Most credit cards charge 3% of the advance and add that to the amount withdrawn. $100 becomes $103 and, if you carry that from month to month, can have a serious impact. A cash advance is not as bad as a RAL or a payday loan.
Better Sources of Short-Term Money
Need money for the short term? Here are some suggestions, in no particular order, that are better than Payday loans but not exactly ideal themselves:
- Try the bank – you never know.
- Cut other expenses so you're spending less.
- Ask your employer for your paycheck a little early.
- Borrow from friends and family.
- Consider peer-to-peer lending sites like LendingClub or Prosper.
- Use your credit card for purchases and consider a card with 0% APY on purchases promotion. It's not ideal but will give you more breathing room.
- If you owe someone money, try to negotiate a deal. Delayed payment beats bankruptcy.
If you're in good shape now but on the fringe, consider cutting some expenses so you can bolster up the emergency fund. It's far easier to get money out of a bank account than it is to get it from anywhere else.
Anyone else have any ideas?

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Real-time PCR (qPCR) analysis has become the method of choice for quantitating DNA in a wide variety of applications. The availability of commercial kits has made the technique easy to perform, efficient, and reliable. qPCR methods are easily adapted to high-throughput assays, allowing researchers to process large numbers of samples in a short period of time.
In particular, real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) is a popular technique for determining the relative levels of gene expression among different tissues or species. For efficient qRT-PCR analysis, it is critical to reliably obtain highly purified total RNA from samples easily and quickly.
Conventional methods of total RNA purification have relied on variations of the guanidinium thiocyanate method. In this technique, the RNA is extracted from cells or tissues following treatment with acidified phenol/chloroform and isopropanol precipitation. This method is time consuming and involves the use of organic solvents that are hazardous and may require special procedures for disposal.
In contrast, the FastPure™ RNA Kit from Takara Bio (www.takarabiousa.com) uses a specially designed polymer filter for immobilization of nucleic acids and does not require organic solvents. Because of the filter membrane's large surface area, specific binding properties, and uniform porosity, total RNA can be extracted in high yield from cultured cells or mammalian tissues.
The filter used in this kit is also exceptionally thin in comparison to widely used glass-fiber filters. Each extraction in the kit is designed to process cells cultured on a 6 or 10 cm diameter dish, 3x106 to 1.5x107 cells grown in suspension, or 5–30 mg of mammalian tissue samples. The resulting purified total RNA is suitable for use in a variety of applications including RT-PCR, Northern blotting, and microarray analysis.
The first step of this protocol is preparation of a lysate by homogenization using the provided lysis and solubilization buffers. Next, total RNA is collected by centrifugation of the lysate through a cartridge containing the polymer filter. The filter is then washed several times and the RNA eluted with the elution buffer.
In contrast to conventional spin-column extraction kits, the FastPure RNA Kit produces highly pure total RNA with minimal genomic DNA contamination when samples are processed without DNase treatment. If desired, DNase treatment can be performed while the RNA is bound to the filter to remove even trace amounts of genomic DNA.
The FastPure RNA Kit provides several protocols, depending on the type of sample and quantity to be used. Figure 1 illustrates the procedure for RNA extraction from 5–15 mg of animal tissue. The Table shows an estimate of the expected total RNA yield from various mouse tissues and cultured cells using this kit.
Total RNA was prepared from suspension cell line HL60 (5x106, 1.5x107 cells) and adherent cell line HEK293 (6 cm dish, 10 cm dish) following the recommended FastPure protocols. The kit yielded highly purified total RNA, with an A260/A280 ratio exceeding 1.9 for each sample. The RNA quality was further examined by agarose gel electrophoresis (Figure 2).
Total RNA was extracted from 30 mg samples of several mouse tissues (liver, heart, kidney, and brain) obtained from a 10-week old male mouse using the appropriate FastPure protocol. High-purity total RNA (with an A260/A280 ratio exceeding 1.9) was obtained from every sample. Furthermore, this RNA contained no genomic DNA contamination even without DNase treatment (Figure 3).
Total RNA samples from HL60 (5x106 cells) and mouse liver were prepared using the appropriate FastPure protocol (the mouse liver extraction included a DNase treatment). Reverse transcription reactions (10 µL) were performed using 2 pg to 220 ng (10x dilution) of these total RNA samples. A 2 µL aliquot of each reverse transcription reaction was used for templates in real-time PCR (25 µL reaction system, target gene GAPDH) using SYBR® Premix Ex Taq™ and the Thermal Cycler Dice® Real-Time System (both from Takara Bio).
In both cases, highly quantitative real-time RT-PCR results were obtained. qRT-PCR results for the mouse liver total RNA sample showed excellent results with low Ct values and an even distribution of curves over a range of dilutions of the RNA sample (figure not shown). The FastPure RNA Kit enabled preparation of total RNA, with only minimal amounts of genomic DNA contamination without DNase treatment.
Takara Bio, however, recommends the use of an on-column DNase treatment when it is not possible to design PCR primers at an exon junction or when preparing RNA for specific applications in which trace amounts of genomic DNA may cause problems such as analysis of single-copy gene expression.
The FastPure RNA Kit provides a rapid and convenient method for extracting total RNA from cultured cells and mammalian tissues, without the need for organic solvents. The resultant RNA is of high quality and provides excellent results in real-time RT-PCR. For those applications where trace amounts of genomic DNA are a concern, a simple DNase treatment while the RNA is bound to the filter is sufficient to eliminate all DNA contamination.

LORETTO - Once it's gotten into Northeast Conference action, the St. Francis University men's basketball has been right there in its games.
"Every game, except the Bryant game, our guys have played with enough effort and energy to win the basketball game," first-year Red Flash coach Rob Krimmel said. "That, I'm proud of, and it's something we have to continue to build on."
A little validation in the form of wins, though, would help out.
That didn't happen on Thursday night. Despite getting another double-double from the ever-growing force that is Earl Brown and 22 second-half points from freshmen Steph Mosley and Ben Millaud-Meunier, the Flash opened what could be a pivotal four-game home stretch on a disappointing note, falling in overtime to Quinnipiac and its powerful inside game, 75-66, at DeGol Arena.
The loss - St. Francis' fourth straight after beating Central Connecticut State - dropped the Flash to 1-15 overall and 1-4 in the NEC. Two of the last three defeats have come in overtime.
"It hurts us. It hurts us," said Brown, who turned in his sixth consecutive double-double with 14 points and 18 rebounds, both Flash highs.
Down 10 at the half and 13 with just under 18 minutes to play, St. Francis came back to lead by two on Millaud-Meunier's pair of free throws with 4:52 left but then had to erase a six-point deficit and survive four Bobcat shots on the last possession to force the extra session.
There however, Quinnipiac scored six points in the first 2:17 on a Zaid Hearst's spinning layup and putbacks by Ousame Drame and Ike Azotam for a 65-60 lead that put the Bobcats firmly in the driver's seat. Azotam topped Quinnipiac with 22 points and tied Hearst for team honors with 10 rebounds.
"The first two minutes or so are so important in overtime," Krimmel said. "The ball was going on the block, and it wasn't always the big guys. It was the guards driving the ball to the middle and forcing rotations. Things we knew going into it, we just didn't take them out of: taking the ball out of the middle of the floor and second chances."
Quinnipiac had 19 offensive rebounds and outscored the Red Flash in the paint, 46-22. The Bobcats doubled-up St. Francis in second-chance scoring, 22-11.
"They have 47 rebounds, and 19 offensive rebounds, and 71 shot attempts," Krimmel said. "Those are hard numbers to overcome, especially for our team. We're learning how to win. We can't give a team like that extra possessions."
Snapping its own three-game losing streak, Quinnipiac improved to 6-10 overall and 2-3 in the NEC, despite playing without second-leading scorer Garvey Young and starting point guard Dave Johnson, who were injured. Hearst scored 13, while forwards Jamee Jackson and Drame chipped in with 12 and 10 points, respectively.
It was Quinnipiac's fourth overtime game and second win - the Bobcats beat Iona before taking UConn beyond regulation in a losing cause two days later.
"That helped," Quinnipiac coach Tom Moore said. "We looked a little green out there, but we shot 5-for-9 in overtime and held them to 1-of-7. I'm glad we were where we needed to be defensively in that overtime period."
The first half was tight most of the way before Quinnipiac outscored the Flash, 14-4, over the last 7:07. Mosley, though, had 11 points and five rebounds in the second half after being blanked in both categories in the first half, and Millaud-Meunier scored nine points off the bench - the freshman from Quebec was averaging 4.1 points in seven games coming in.
"Ben has done a great job being consistent all year with his work ethic," Krimmel said. "If you come to one of our practices, it's a competition for who is talking the most between Earl and Ben."
Brown continues to be a consistent force. He had two dunks early, then a nice spin move for a bucket and wound up with two blocks and two assists, to boot.
"I just want to continue to play hard, be confident and have passion for the game," Brown said.
It was a great opportunity for the Flash to get things turned around. Sacred Heart, which dropped to 5-11 by falling at Robert Morris on Wednesday, comes to DeGol Arena Saturday afternoon. Then the Flash host Robert Morris and Wagner next week.
"Our last three games, we have played hard enough, with enough energy and enough aggressiveness to win games," Krimmel said. "Now it's just one or two possessions and executing in spots."
Game notes: Stephon Whyatt scored 11 for the Red Flash to go along with seven assists. ... Flash point guard Umar Shannon was injured late in regulation but returned to the floor briefly in overtime. ... Former UConn star Scott Burrell is one of the Bobcats' assistant coaches. ... Saturday's game will be televised.

I painted this dining room a while back, and I wanted to share it with you guys. I'm not sure why I haven't posted it yet! I did it right before Christmas break. In fact, I'm pretty sure that the day I finished this, I packed up and headed south for my brother's wedding the next day. Cuttin' it close!
Anyway, it's a new stencil, and I pretty much followed the guidelines here. The pattern threw me off at first, because of the double lines, but somehow I figured it out. It's a weird one! I made my own template, as usual, and handpainted each line. It was a little bit of a challenge, because the walls were really bumpy (some sort of gritty substance in the sheetrock), so I couldn't get a smooth line, but it turned out nice, overall. The colors are very dark. The basecoat is almost a midnight blue, and the color I painted on was almost black. Striking!
The ceiling was gold, too, so this is going to be one hot 'n' sexy dining room, no? It's in a highrise here in Atlanta, and I think the whole condo is going to be amazing when it's finished.
When I first started:
while working:
in the works!
It was super-dark in the room, too, which made it a real challenge as well. I had to get a spotlight to work with. That's why the photos are kind of awkwardly dark...
And, all finished:

Based in Vancouver BC, Sewaholic Patterns was founded in 2010 by Tasia Pona. The idea to create patterns specifically for pear-shaped women came from her frustration in having to alter commercial patterns to fit her curvy lower body. She knew she couldn't be the only one out there feeling the same way. Why not create simple, flattering patterns proportioned for our body type instead?
Sewaholic Patterns is proudly Canadian. All of the patterns are named after Vancouver area landmarks (Crescent Beach, Lonsdale Quay, Minoru Park) and are printed on FSC-certified and recycled paper.
