"A Grand Tour: Trade Winds of Influence," the Charleston Art and Antiques Forum's 16th fine and decorative arts series, heralds the arrival of spring events in and around Charleston. It takes place March 13-17 and will benefit the Charleston Parlor Restoration Fund of the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, Old Salem, N.C.
Other events associated with Charleston's spring cultural feast include the Historic Charleston Foundation's Charleston International Antiques Show and its Festival of Houses and Gardens, Charleston Symphony Orchestra League's Designer Showhouse, Charleston Horticultural Society's Plantasia, and Garden Club of Charleston's House and Garden Tours.
Dame Rosalind Savill, director emeritus of the Wallace Collection, a London museum, will deliver the forum's keynote address, "Twenty Years With French Decorative Arts." Jean Y. Helms, the forum's founder and chair, calls Savill among the most learned in her field.
Helms stressed the many cultural influences highlighted in the forum's 2013 program and says they reflect the unlimited reach of the decorative arts.
"The more you get involved, the more you see what there is," says Helms. Those in the world of decorative arts can learn much from each other, she adds.
"Every year, we are more and more successful in reaching more people from all over the world."
Decorative arts
This year's program focuses on such diverse decorative arts influences as Italian palaces, trade with colonial Latin America and the French impact on silver. Two other lectures also are among those garnering their share of attention.
"A Yankee Invasion: New York Furniture for Southern Clients" by Matthew Thurlow, major gifts officer for the Winterthur Museum and Country Estate, offers a broadened context for studying antique furnishings owned by Charlestonians, particularly pieces made in the early 19th century.
"Although objects may not have been made in South Carolina, they help to tell interesting stories about people who lived in Charleston and elsewhere," Thurlow says. "A host of different furniture makers working in New York at the time found favor with Southerners."
Thurlow's collaboration on a major Duncan Phyfe exhibition for the Metropolitan Museum gave him the chance to focus on pieces made for Charleston clients in Phyfe's shop, he says. Phyfe was a leading 19th-century cabinetmaker.
Pieces made for Charleston clients include a sewing table for William Dearing and a large suite of furnishings for Dunbar Paul.
In addition, Deming & Bulkley, furniture makers, had a retail shop in Charleston for furnishings made in New York, Thurlow says. While their work, like that of others, may have been influenced by the English and French, their styles remained distinct, particularly with regard to the high ornamentation and gilding.
Layers of history
Representatives from the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation also will focus on furniture.
"Reading the Upholstery Evidence on 18th Century Furniture" will be a live demonstration by Leroy Graves, master upholster, on how he goes about pulling back the layers of upholstery to discover a detailed history of the pieces. He will be joined by Margaret Pritchard, the foundation's curator of maps, prints and wallpapers.
"When we get an object in, we peel back each layer (of fabric) until we get to the final layer for evidence of original upholstery," says Graves.
Should that fail to provide the needed information, they search original nail holes for threads of the original fabric such as wool, silk or cotton. They also may look at the clusters of nail holes and shadow marks on a frame to determine more about a piece's past.
"A lot of that can give you evidence of how the upholstery was applied," says Graves, who will bring frames and a cutaway to Charleston to demonstrate the process.
In addition to reading the piece, Graves will cover Colonial Williamsburg's noninvasive system of reupholstering pieces.
The new upholstery, made of fabric ordered from England to fit the piece's age, is designed to be removable and eliminates the need to add more nail holes to a piece. It also helps those who later will study the piece in the future, Graves says. "Our system at Colonial Williamsburg is now used all over the country."

This report discusses the political debate surrounding national identity in the Netherlands against the backdrop of growing public anxiety about immigrants and their effect on local communities. While policies designed to mitigate these fears largely stress national identity and demand cultural assimilation, the report provides an alternative set of recommendations based on the notion of plural identification.
This report assesses the connection between the recent rise of resentment against immigration and broader trends in Norwegian nationalism, and proposes a few policy recommendations with the aim of minimizing this rift in Norwegian society.
The integration of mobile EU citizens as a specific target group has not been widely discussed, either at EU or national levels, and EU-level integration policies focus on the integration of legally residing third-country nationals. This report investigates the broad range of integration needs that exist in Europe.
This report examines why Spain, one of the countries hit hardest by the economic crisis with some of Europe's highest levels of unemployment, has not seen a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment. The report describes how the government and general populace have responded to immigration before and after the onset of the economic crisis, and highlights possible reasons for Spain's exceptional openness.
Finding some of the deepest anti-Muslim sentiments in Europe within German public opinion, this report explores the relationship between German national identity and immigration. It provides an overview of demographics, trends, and current debates, with recommendation on how to challenge prevailing stereotypes of Muslims and ensure equal outcomes for immigrants and their descendants.
This report examines how a parent's unauthorized status affects child development. Based on a review of existing research that increasingly points to negative developmental consequences of parental unauthorized status across all stages of childhood, the authors explore possible options for policies and programs that could mitigate these risks, and propose ways to achieve this goal within the framework of proposed comprehensive immigration reform.
This report assesses trends in U.S., Central American, and Mexican agriculture and their implications for farm labor markets, including the demand for skills and its effects on education and workforce development.
While free movement is at the heart of the European project, the merits and impacts of intra-EU mobility have come under significant scrutiny recently amid public anxiety about competition for jobs and exploitation of welfare systems. This report provides a detailed assessment of free movement, motivations for migration, and challenges countries may need to address as intra-EU mobility enters its next phase.
This study explores the intersecting dynamics of evolving demographic trends, shifting epidemiological profiles, and worker migration in five countries in the Americas to develop policy recommendations for health workforce development, specifically for nursing personnel. Countries highlighted are El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and the U.S.

text: Submitted by Gabriel Arana on July 18, 2014 @ 6:11 pm Racism and Sexism Led Me to Feminist Media Activism Soleil Ho 1. My life began in 1995 - the year I turned eight and became a divorced kid. From that year onward, until I turned thirteen, my sister and I were shuffled between my mother's apartment in New York City and my paternal grandparents' condominium in West Orange, New Jersey every other weekend to fulfill the visitation requirements of our parents' divorce settlement. Our time at our father's home, which he shared with his deeply Catholic relatives, was unstructured and pointless. I spent hours pinching the loose skin on the back of my great-grandmother's hands while she watched Vietnamese soap operas during the day. I knew, little girl that I was, that putting up with all of this was my only option. I realized this the moment I found my father packing his bag in my parents' bedroom and found the edges of his brown eyes engraved with deep grooves. He wanted me to beg him to stay - but I simply blinked and walked away. I knew then that something important to my family was in motion, and that my feelings had no place in it. "I am Sailor Moon! I will right wrongs and triumph over evil - and that means you!" Drawn by its gender-appropriate pink box and sparkly text, my father gave me a VHS tape of Sailor Moon episodes during one of our visits. I expected to hate it, just as I hated his other sad, insipid gifts: jeans two sizes too small, lacy ribbons for my knotted hair. Nevertheless, I grabbed my little sister and a bowl of potato chips from the kitchen and locked our bedroom door behind us to watch it. Now that I'm an adult, describing Sailor Moon is a little embarrassing... but here's the deal: Sailor Moon is a magical girl who goes to middle school by day and uses miraculous powers to battle evildoers from outer space by night. Everything about her is feminine, from her pleated mini skirt to the sparkling backdrop of her transformation sequence. She is also a clumsy gluttonous crybaby, an F-student, and as boy-crazy as a cat in heat throughout the first season. Despite all of her personal shortcomings, she dedicates her life to fighting for, as she puts it, "love and justice." This was a world where girls were fighters. Where they could eat all the food they wanted. Where they could cry. My wish to join Sailor Moon became so insistent that I resorted to desperate measures to lengthen my visits. In addition to pausing the videos, I began to tape large sheets of tracing paper to the screen and trace the images so they could keep me company in corporeal form. I would keep at least one folded up in my pocket during Mass, moving it between my fingers for comfort like a paper rosary bead. On our hour-long drives back to our mother's apartment, my father would ask us, "Do you think your mom loves you as much as I do?" Soleil Ho 2. Back home in New York City, my friends were beginning to talk about this thing called "Girl Power." Well, not so much talking about it as shouting the phrase whenever they got excited about anything. My best friend and fellow divorced kid, Samantha, introduced me to the concept: "It just means that when girls do something it's better because we're girls!" She would usually conclude such statements with cartwheels, no matter where we were. The Spice Girls filled me in on the rest of the idea. At their peak in 1997, the Spice Girls infected the globe with their brand of Girl Power, a slippery idea that, thanks to its broad marketing, is hard to define without resorting to punchy buzzwords. Individuality. Success. Catsuits. Kicking ass. Femininity. Independence. According to the tenets of Our Ladies of Spice, Madonna is Girl Power. Margaret Thatcher is Girl Power. Rachel Ray is Girl Power. I am - therefore I am powerful. The funny thing about the Spice Girls is that all five of them went by reductive aliases - mostly adjectives: Sporty, Scary, Posh, Baby, and Ginger. The object of this branding was to make their personalities simple to understand and as accessible to young girls as possible. Samantha decided early on that she was Sporty Spice, which only served to increase the frequency of her cartwheels. But I had a hard time deciding for myself, since as far as I could tell, there wasn't a Smarty Spice. Soleil Ho 2.5 My father, a hair stylist, used to insist on grooming my sister and I while we visited him. All of the particularity I see in myself was reflected in those moments: when he evened out bangs aligned between his fingers, peeked into the shower to make sure that I was shampooing correctly, and shaped my hair into nauseatingly girlish sculptures that made me look like a Vietnamese Cindy Brady. It seemed to get worse as time went on and I progressed further and further away from his vision of me. Despite his lack of control over the war, he acted as if each strand of my hair that he cut was a redrawing of the battlefield between himself and my mother. 3. Shortly before I entered high school, I made the conscious decision to cut my father out of my life entirely. It was simple: my mom asked me to give him our new address and home phone number after a move, and I didn't. It didn't matter to me that my sister may have needed a dad, or that my father may have needed his daughters. I just didn't think I would be able to grow up as long as I felt like a divorced kid. I didn't want to be a girl anymore, but I wasn't yet sure of what a woman was supposed to be. My mother was beautiful - too beautiful - for me to even imagine us as being part of the same species. Instead, my mind moved toward my favorite Sailor Moon character: Sailor Uranus. When she isn't fighting the bad guys, she dresses in men's clothing and dates a feminine woman. I wanted to be strong and handsome like her, and I identified with her inability to trust other people, especially men. She was all of that, and yet she was a girl. From a young age, I was drawn to the mysterious contradiction of her body, which seemed so impossible to achieve in my helpless childhood. So - using kid logic again - I tried to abandon my gender entirely. One day, after school, I stopped at Walgreens and spent a week's worth of lunch money on self-adhesive Ace bandages. The next morning, I got up early and launched a full-scale assault on my bare chest, beating its swollen ridges and mounds into a flat, pleasing surface. I sequestered my shoulder-length hair into a baseball cap and hardened my stare. As I walked out the front door, I could barely breathe, but I was too engrossed in my freedom to care. When I got home from school, I rushed into my room and pulled off my shirt. My skin was slick from sweat, but the bandage was as tight as it was that morning. I grabbed the end of it and slowly began to pull. I paced the 7-foot length of my room like a stressed dog; my constricted lungs tried to take in what little air they could. For a moment, I considered leaving the bandage on, but I just didn't want to be a boy that badly. I sat on my bed and pulled, hard. The edges of my vision turned fuzzy and white, but I kept pulling, ripping, tearing off raw centimeters of blinding pain. John Choo 4. Perhaps one of the most important differences between Sailor Moon and the Spice Girls is that there are no villains in the world of Spice. It makes sense: if the problem with being a girl is simply a matter of rebranding, the onus is on the girl to adjust her bad attitude. In their lively music videos, the Spice Girls kick and punch empty air. French philosopher Luce Irigaray warns, if feminists "aim simply for a change in the distribution of power, leaving intact the power structure itself, then they are re-subjecting themselves, deliberately or not, to a phallocratic order." This idea is equivalent to, say, arguing for more representative hiring practices in prisons without critiquing the premise of the prison itself. Or abandoning one's gender and embracing another purely out of a sense of internalized misogyny. 5. I realize now that being a girl (or identifying as one) is one of the hardest roles to inhabit in this world. A girl is supposed to be so many things - attractive, graceful, polite, quiet, valuable, valueless - but none of those traits guarantee that she'll be taken seriously as a thinking and feeling human being. On the other hand, the absence of those traits can often invite violence or, at the very least, judgment. John Choo When we say that all girls are powerful, we often refrain from explaining just what kind of power we're talking about. The power that I want girls to have certainly includes the power to govern their own bodies, but also something else entirely. 6. Sailor Moon isn't just fighting aliens, but a world of adults who want to destroy everything beautiful in girls. In order to save the people she loves, she fights and gets hurt and breaks down and even completely fails at times. And when she can manage it, she tries to save the monsters, too. In my last letter to my father, written and destroyed a little more than a month ago, I asked, Will I ever be able to think about you without instantly wanting to disappear?

LOOKING AHEAD: Biffle, who will make the 400th start of his Cup career on Sunday, can't wait to get to Texas "and put these last couple of weeks behind us. Texas has really been good to us the last four or five years. So we are really looking forward to this weekend. We would love to extend that streak of a different race winner every week. And we feel we've got a good shot at it."
LOOKING BACK: Biffle led once for 18 laps and seemed headed for a top-five finish when he ran into handling problems in the final 100 laps of the Martinsville race. "Restarting on the outside really hurt us, and then we got real tight there at the end," said Biffle, who ended up 18th. "Time and again I would be on the outside for the restarts and would lose eight to 10 spots. I really thought we were going to have a real good day. But the restarts and a tight race car left us outside the top 15."
ETC.: On Friday, Biffle will play host to 125 students and teachers from Our Lady of Perpetual Help elementary and middle school at Texas Motor Speedway as part of the "Give Kids a Smile" program. "This program is very special to me," said Biffle. "It helps bring awareness to kids and their families about having a good dental health plan."
42 KYLE LARSON, Chevrolet
Team: Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates
WHERE HE STANDS: 19th, 26 points out of the top 10. Lost three spots last week.
TEXAS RECORD: Finished 23rd in his Cup debut last November.
LOOKING AHEAD: Larson said "After a tough track last weekend, I'm really looking forward to Texas. I enjoy the mile and a half tracks the best and have run pretty well on those tracks in the past. Our Target Chevy was really good in pre-season tests on the mile and a half track at Charlotte, so I think we should be able to unload with a really good car for this weekend's race and plan on being very competitive."
LOOKING BACK: It was an up-and-down day for Larson. After running as high as eighth at the midway point of the race, the rookie driver ran into all kinds of problems in the final 250 laps including spinning out in turn two to bring out the 11th of 14 caution flags. As a result, Larson finished 27th. "Not the finish I was hoping for," said Larson. "I knew this was a tough track, but thought we had a decent chance to get a good finish in the Target Chevy after running upfront midway through the race. I thought we did alright on our short runs, but just didn't do as well on the long runs."
ETC.: Larson feels his previous Cup experience at Texas will be of a huge benefit this weekend. "There is a big difference between the Cup and Nationwide cars at a place like Texas," said Larson. "So I feel good that I have experienced that difference. There are just different things you need to work on to make both cars fast."
41 KURT BUSCH, Chevrolet
Team: Stewart-Haas Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 20th, 28 points out of the top 10. Gained four spots last week.
TEXAS RECORD: One win and 12 top-10 finishes in 22 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Busch admits "the adrenaline of winning and accomplishing something special as a team carries over, but Martinsville is a half-mile track that is very different from the mile and a half of Texas. The way we struggled at Vegas earlier this year we definitely need to rebound on the mile and a half's. The key to winning there in my mind is carving through the center of the corners through the bumps. If you can do that and hold it wide open through there you are going to be the car to beat."
LOOKING BACK: Busch did the unthinkable Sunday at Martinsville - he beat Jimmie Johnson at a track where he had dominated. As Busch himself noted, "the 48 (Johnson) is king here." After swapping the lead with Johnson, Busch got back by Johnson with 11 laps to go and led the rest of the way to end a 83-race winless streak. The victory was Busch's 25th of his Cup career. "It's a dream come true to have Gene Haas call you and tell you he wants you to drive his car and he wants to go for trophies and wins," said Busch. "It's unbelievable feeling to deliver. We are a winner. We're not guaranteed in the Chase but we have a win and we're moving forward. Now our next objective is just to build more consistency in our Haas Automation Chevy."
ETC.: While Busch was enjoying "the awesome feeling" from his Martinsville victory, he was not pleased with all the questions about his run-ins with Brad Keselowski during the race. "We're not worried about any of that nonsense right now," began Busch. But when the questions kept coming, Busch got more than a little irritated. "I can't believe he overreacted and he's as upset as he is (for the first incident on pit road that sent Keselowski to the garage area for repairs)," said Busch. "He targeted us, he was aiming for us. He tried to flatten all four of my tires. That's a punk-*** move and he will get what he gets back when I decide to get it back."
5 KASEY KAHNE, Chevrolet
Team: Hendrick Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: 22nd, 29 points out of the top 10. Lost three spots last week.
TEXAS RECORD: Finished fifth last November. Overall has one win and six top-10 finishes including five top-five's in 19 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Kahne hopes to become the seventh different winner in the first seven races of the season. "We had a really good car there last fall, and hopefully we will be as strong this weekend," said Kahne. "We are bringing a new car this weekend and Kenny (Francis, crew chief) feels really good about it. The start of the year hasn't gone as we had hoped so we need a good run this weekend."
LOOKING BACK: Kahne rallied from an early-race accident to run in the top five with less than 50 laps to go. But then he ran into major handling problems and ended the day in 22nd spot. "The day certainly didn't end as we had hoped," said Kahne. "The car got really tight at the end and we didn't get another caution to fix it. It was a real handful after that last restart (with 35 laps to go)."
ETC.: Kahne said his workouts include the "things that I feel make me better throughout the race and after the race. And I feel better mentally because of working out, being prepared and being in great shape. Some tracks can be tough on your neck and arms, and other tracks, not so much. I think there's a lot there (while in the car) that definitely takes some athletic ability, and I think that it helps being athletic and being prepared. It (the workouts) helps me for sure."

Open source news this week: July 29 - August 2, 2013
Weekly wrap-up: A Raspberry Pi competitor, how Linux rules supercomputing, and more
Open source news this week: July 29 - August 2, 2013
What other open source-related news stories did you read about this week? Share them with us in the comments section. Follow us on Twitter where we share these stories in real time.
- Linux's ride to the top. To mark the 20th anniversary of the Top500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers, the Linux Foundation released an analysis paper that details how Linux has managed to rule supercomputing. The report breaks out the annual sum of RMax, the yardstick used to rank computing power on the Top500, to show "a meteoric rise of Linux as a percent of total computing power, starting in the mid 2000s." Download the paper for more details. Hat tip to Opensource.com reader Robin Muilwijk for sending us the link to this paper.
- Come fly with me. A group of pilots and engineers are developing an open source plane that could be built at home. The designers of Maker Plane have developed plans for crafting a two-seat aircraft that savvy makers could put together at home if you have a CNC machine and 3D printer. Donors to the Maker Plane Indiegogo project can get the free plans, build instructions, and electronic files for the plane. Though Engadget speculates the project will have troubles getting off the ground.
- Let's go for a dive. If an open source plane isn't on your must-have list, perhaps an open source submarine is. This week OpenROV crushed its Kickstarter goals. The "open source, underwater robot for exploration and education" will be shipped in the form of kits for the DIY community. The New York Times explores OpenROV's capabilities and potential saying it "could change the future of ocean exploration."
- MinnowBoard swimming into RaspPi waters? Intel shipped its first open source PC this week: The MinnowBoard. Designed for software developers building x86 apps and hobbyists who want to build their own computer, the bare-bones x86 PC is drawing Raspberry Pi comparisons. But many Rapsberry Pi fans have been quick to point out that the MinnowBoard is not a RasPi competitor, in part because of its $199 pricetag. What do you think?
- What's in store for Raspberry Pi? Eben Upton admits he's a neophyte in the Raspberry Pi community, but in this interview with Linux.com, the Raspberry Pi Foundation executive director sure doesn't seem like it. Upton talks about everything from the Pi Foundation's involvement in open source projects to efforts to support the Wayland display manager. Read the complete Q&A for more details on the future of Raspberry Pi or just wait for his keynote at LinuxCon and CloudOpen North America. The interview took place before the MinnowBoard announcement, so if you're looking for Eben's thoughts on Intel's latest product, you'll have to look elsewhere

The Raspberry Pi has been so successful that any attempt to produce a low-cost, open source bare bones board will have some folks screaming "Pi competitor!"—regardless of major differences in critical specs like on-board memory or even chip architecture (and, sure, price). The MinnowBoard is not a Pi competitor—and that's okay!
It's not a competitor. The $199 price tag is closer to a Netbook than it is to the Raspberry Pi.
The MinnowBoard definitely occupies a similar role as the Raspberry Pi in that they're both embedded platforms mostly aimed at the DIY market, but I would agree that they are not competitors as they seek to occupy different spaces within that market. The Raspberry Pi seeks to provide an extremely low barrier to entry in terms of cost and development, where the MinnowBoard seeks to provide a more high performance platform.
Personally, I'm very excited about the new MinnowBoard and the new features it's bringing to the embedded hardware space, such as hardware virtualization support. Build your own mini cloud for $200? Yes, please!

Halle Berry is eager to marry Olivier Martinez, but for now, another matter is taking precedence – relocating the family, likely overseas, to shield her daughter from the spotlight.
"I'm not sure where I am going to be living in the next few months, so I have to get that settled first," the actress, 46, tells InStyle when asked by a reader about her wedding plans.
The Oscar winner may well end up in France, where she and her French fiancé can give Berry's 4-year-old daughter Nahla a quieter life, away from the pressures of Hollywood.
"It's the appeal of privacy and a greater sense of safety for Nahla," the Oscar winner says. "I don't want her to grow up around the tabloids. Because we are followed all the time, she is starting to feel like she is somehow special, and of course she is, but I want her to understand that she's special because of who she is, not because she was born into this celebrity blender."
Berry has suffered through a tough custody battle with Nahla's father, Gabriel Aubry. "There is turbulence, bit this too shall pass," she tells InStyle.
When the time is right to tie the knot again, Berry – twice divorced, from David Justice and Eric Benét – knows how she wants her wedding to be. "I do know it will be very small," she says. "I haven't been to many weddings, but I went to one this weekend with 250 guests. I thought, Wow – so this is a wedding, huh? I've never had that, nor have I wanted that. I wasn't even trying to catch the bouquet!"
Berry says Martinez is perfect for her. "He's silly, a clown, and very much the life of the party, which is good for someone like me," she says. "Danny Downer ... been there, done that. Now I like Louie Lightfoot!"
As for the whole idea of a third marriage, Berry admits: "It's another one of those never-say-never things. I'm a hopeless romantic, and I won't stop till I get it right."

, updated March 1, 2013 at 9:33 AM
SUNRISE, Fla. – Shootouts have been rare for the Buffalo Sabres. Through their opening 20 games, they participated in just one. So at the end of practice Wednesday, interim coach Ron Rolston sent the players through an extended breakaway challenge designed to hone the skills of shooters and goaltenders.
The session paid immediate dividends.
The Sabres shook off Florida's tying goal with just 86 seconds left to dominate the shootout and earn a 4-3 victory over the Panthers on Thursday night. The Sabres, who won in Tampa Bay on Tuesday, earned a sweep of their Sunshine State opponents and won consecutive games for just the third time this year.
"We could have obviously been in a pretty bad mood here in this dressing room if we gave that extra point away, but we stuck with it," said left wing Steve Ott, who had two assists. "Our shootout guys did a heck of a job."
Thomas Vanek and Jason Pominville beat Florida goaltender Jose Theodore in the breakaway session, while Sabres netminder Ryan Miller (40 saves) turned aside attempts by Jonathan Huberdeau and Peter Mueller to give Buffalo the victory.
"We obviously had two really good finishes on that, and it was two key players for us making the difference," said Rolston, whose split-squad practice the previous day featured a three-round relay challenge in which each side needed to deposit three pucks into the opposing net to earn a victory.
The Sabres nearly didn't need the extra session Thursday in BB&T Center. They had a rare third-period lead but let it slip away. The Panthers totaled 30 shots during the second and third periods, but Miller rallied from a shaky start to keep Buffalo ahead.
Old friend Brian Campbell finally solved the goaltender with 1:26 to go.
With a faceoff in the Buffalo zone, the Panthers called timeout to catch their breath and set up a play. They won the draw back to Campbell, and the longtime Buffalo defenseman fired a rocket from the point that sailed between center Cody Hodgson and defenseman Andrej Sekera before flying into the top corner on Miller's stick side.
The Florida faithful among the 15,672 fans roared.
"I liked how the guys after we gave up the third one there were able to bounce back and come out and get the extra point in the game," Rolston said. "We're showing more bounceback as a team, and that's just a mind-set that we have to continue to get in."
Buffalo built its 3-2 lead in the first period by checking off multiple items on its to-do list. The Sabres got secondary scoring in the form of two goals by Nathan Gerbe. Their power play, in a 2-for-47 slump during the previous 13 games, went 1 for 1 with a goal by Tyler Ennis.
"It was a good first period," Ott said. "Gerbs had two phenomenal goals, and our power play got a huge one. That was definitely really nice. It was something that we needed."
The Sabres exited the first period with a lead for only the fifth time in 21 games. They carried an advantage into the third period for only the second time.
The Sabres and Panthers have had major scoring problems this season. Buffalo entered the night ranked 22nd at 2.42 goals per game, while the Panthers were 21st at 2.47.
The team's defenses have been even worse. The Panthers were dead last after allowing 3.63 goals per outing, while the Sabres were 27th at 3.2.
The struggling offenses picked apart the porous defenses in a hurry, combining for five goals in the opening period. Gerbe, kept out of the goal column during his first 16 games, opened the scoring and Ennis doubled the lead.
The Panthers answered with two goals in 56 seconds to tie the game, but Gerbe ended starting goalie Scott Clemmensen's night with 3:14 left in the first. Gerbe abused defenseman Erik Gudbranson and shot over Clemmensen's shoulder while falling.
"We want to go out and attack teams," said Gerbe, whose team hosts New Jersey at 3 p.m. Saturday in First Niagara Center. "We never want to sit back and wait for something to happen. We've got to make it happen. That's what the good teams do. They don't just sit around and wait. You've got to be aggressive.
"We missed out on a lot of points, but now it's time to make them up."

Hostess Brands, makers of Twinkies, Wonder Bread and many other relatively "junkie" foods, filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation papers recently. The company had revenues of nearly $3 billion, and was bought and sold by private equity funds twice in the last 10 years. After loading the company up with debt, Hostess twice filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in order to restructure. Six different management teams in the last eight years, each presumably more highly compensated than its predecessor, failed to change the company's product offerings to respond to the market's demand for healthier products.
The liquidation was triggered by a nationwide strike by the 5,600 employees who were members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union (BCTWG). 92% of that union's employees rejected a new collective-bargaining proposal in September. The company's offer included an 8% wage cut in the first year, a 17% increase in employee health-care costs and changes to workers' pension plans that could have reduced payouts. Hostess long had said it couldn't survive without cutting labor costs, even as it enraged workers by increasing top executives' pay by 60% earlier this year. In a move reminiscent of Russian Roulette, the bakers union workers essentially pulled the trigger for all of the company's workers…and lost.
Teamsters, which with 6800 employee members was the company's largest union, narrowly voted to accept the company's proposed deal. Teamster President Jimmy Hoffa said his team "switched gears" from trying to preserve all 18,000 Hostess jobs, a prospect he viewed as "off the table," and instead was trying to drum up buyers for "bits and pieces" of the business. Average pay for union workers was $16 an hour for the bakers and $20 an hour for the Teamsters. Frank Hurt, President of the BCTWG, called the company's proposed 8% wage cuts "draconian" even as his members received 100% wage cuts from loss of their jobs. For this inspired leadership, he is paid about $250,000/year.
Hostess Chief Executive Gregory Rayburn had a different vision of how the bankruptcy auction process would play out. "Nobody wants to have anything to do with these old plants or these unions or these contracts," Mr. Rayburn said. The company had hunted for buyers for the last several years as it tried to avoid a second trip into bankruptcy, but no buyer came forward. Potential buyers have made clear that their interest partly is because a liquidated Hostess would be free of its collective-bargaining agreements. A buyer might yet pick up a few of Hostess's plants. Alternatively, the union(s) can now buy the assets in bankruptcy and reconstitute the company as a workers paradise without management sucking out all the benefits.
At the time of this bankruptcy, Hostess, with dozens of plants, had 372 collective bargaining pacts, 80 health and benefits plans, 40 pension plans and $100 million in retiree health benefits. The company had asked the unions to take the pay cuts and increase in benefits costs in exchange for a 25% share in the company and an interest-bearing $100 million note.
It appears that the bakers were operating with relative efficiency, and it is possible that some of the 33 plants producing the Hostess products will be purchased and their workers reemployed. The Teamsters, who were on average better compensated, had tied logistics into knots for years with negotiated work rules. As an example, Twinkies and Wonder Bread that were produced in the same facility and destined for the same customer had to be delivered by separate trucks, and put into warehouse or store shelves by different union workers.
18,000 workers are a large group of people. Unfortunately for these workers, they are strategically unimportant to the US economy. Hostess plants were scattered around the country and the shutdowns will not inordinately affect any one state or section of the country. With average annual wages of less than $40,000/worker these were jobs held by relatively unskilled laborers. Unlike autoworkers who are cogs in a complicated supply chain, other industrial workers do not heavily depend upon the Hostess products output. Most of the forgone Hostess products will be quickly and easily substituted with the output of Hostess's many competitors.
What is the lesson to be learned here? Is this a case of unionism run amok? Was it a case of internecine union warfare with the bakers tired of getting a worse deal than the Teamsters? Were the workers justified in finally pulling the plug on a company whose management(s) repeatedly failed them? Or was it but another example of "creative destruction"? Diogenes suspects it is all of the above. It remains a tragedy in human terms. Many, if not most of those workers will likely face an extended period of unemployment. If and when they do find new jobs, that work will likely pay less and offer fewer benefits. The union operation was a success. Unfortunately, the patient died.

Avid shareholders could receive another $500 million if florbetapir is approved and commercialized.[ktsdesign-Fotolia.com]
Eli Lilly is shelling out $300 million to buy molecular imaging agents firm Avid Radiopharmaceuticals. The latter's shareholders could also be eligible to receive up to another $500 million dependent on future regulatory and commercial milestones relating to florbetapir, a Phase III-stage imaging agent used with positron emission computed tomography (PET) for identifying Alzheimer disease (AD) plaques in the brain.
"The acquisition of Avid Radiopharmaceuticals aligns well with Lilly's innovation-based strategy, offers potential near-term revenue opportunity, leverages our neuroscience expertise, and will immediately bolster our diagnostics capabilities," remarks John Lechleiter, Ph.D., Lilly chairman and CEO. "We look forward to partnering with Avid's experts during the regulatory process for florbetapir and are intent on gaining FDA approval."
Avid's florbetapir was the first beta-amyloid imaging compound to enter multicenter clinical studies in the U.S. It has to date been evaluated in more than 12 trials and 700 healthy and AD patients, Avid notes. As well as the pivotal Phase III Image-to-Autopsy study, additional clinical studies in the EU, South America, Australia, and Asia are also under way.
During April Avid reported results from an analysis of the first six subjects enrolled in the Image-to-Autopsy study. Data from this cohort of patients demonstrated that the florbetapir PET images correlated strongly with postmortem histopathology findings. The PET images correctly identified which subjects had beta-amyloid deposits but also showed where in the brain the deposits had accumulated.
Avid is dedicated to the development of molecular imaging products for the detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of chronic human diseases. In addition to florbetapir, the firm is carrying out Phase I/II trials with 18F-AV-133 for imaging vescular monoamine transporter (VMAT2) in disorders such as Parkinson disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, which involve dopaminergic degeneration. Avid is separately undertaking early clinical evaluation of its 18F-VMAT2 PET compounds for imaging beta cells in the pancreas as a potential approach to diagnosing beta-cell dysfunction associated with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Two Whitesville brothers stopped Wednesday night because of faulty headlights on their car found themselves in more trouble after officers discovered a methamphetamine lab in their Forsythe Road home, state and local police said Thursday.
Zackery D. Billings, 23, and Timothy Billings, 22, were arrested during a traffic stop at 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, troopers said. The older brother was charged on drug possession counts and operating a motor vehicle with inadequate headlights. His brother also was charged with drug possession counts.
The drug charges came after a search warrant was obtained for the brothers' residence and an active meth lab was discovered, said Wellsville Police Chief Timothy Walsh and State Police Zone Commander Eugene Stanizewski, who added that several guns were seized.
An investigation into the case continues.

text: As a child actor Field probably played women's roles before maturing to fit male parts. In 1616, he joined Shakespeare's company, the King's Men, and probably played many Shakespearean roles, including female parts. The popular interest in Victorian actors is now transferring to their Renaissance originals. Awareness of Elizabethan conventions such as boys in women's parts is also increasingly recognized, although many directors are loathe to implement this historical convention as it deprives modern female actors of choice parts.

Nice Bookmark
By ronneem
from Northern California
When I saw these i thought they would be perfect to go along with my Bookography Circa notebook. I was right. I read during the commute to and from work - an hour each way by bus and keep getting behind on updating the Circa simply because I rarely have pen and paper to make notes. The bookmarks are thin enough not to damage the book, they travel well and they have just enough space for me to jot my thoughts and impressions.

I belong to the local library's book discussion group, and if I finish a book early in the month, I sometimes forget what I wanted to talk about. These cards have enough space to capture what I like and dislike, and as a bonus, if I forget a bookmark, they are just right size.

Republicans in the First Congressional District chose Congressional experience Tuesday, going for former Gov. Mark Sanford over former Charleston County Councilman Curtis Bostic.
Only Beaufort County appeared to favor Bostic; with 73 of 80 precincts reporting there, Bostic had a lead of 53 percent.
But Dorchester County, with all 59 precincts reporting, went for Sanford by 58 percent. Charleston County, with 131 of 133 precincts reporting, went for Sanford by 61 percent and Berkeley County, with all 44 precincts reporting, chose Sanford with 57 percent of the vote.
Turnout was light all day, coming in around 10 percent in all counties except Colleton.
Colleton, with one precinct in the district, had 22 percent turnout and 59 percent of the voters chose Sanford.
Sanford voters most often cited his prior experience in Congress.
Peter Douglass, voting at Knightsville Elementary School, said Sanford is the most qualified to go to Washington and "stop those people" in Congress.
At Oakbrook Elementary School, Deborah Kidd said she voted for Bostic for the second time.
"I don't want Mr. Sanford in office again," she said.
She didn't think he truly cared about his job. Bostic, on the other hand, has good values and has done a lot of good for the community and the wider world, she said.
As Kidd was exiting the precinct around 5 p.m., turnout at Oakbrook Elementary stood at 4.6 percent.
At Fort Dorchester High School a short time later, turnout was 5.3 percent. There, Randy Staley said he voted for Bostic.
His first-choice candidate was Teddy Turner, so this time around his vote was an "anybody but Sanford" vote.
Others, however, said they separated Sanford's personal life from his political life.
At Summerville High School, Gaylord and Martha Carder said they voted for Sanford based on his political record.
"Because he's done a good job before," Martha Carder said.

Player: Jeremy Little, Altoona
Opponent: Pittsburgh Central Catholic
Date: Saturday, March 14, 1998
Site: IUP Memorial Field House
Setting the scene: Altoona, at 20-8, trailed 24-4 Central Catholic virtually the entire game — including a 63-53 deficit midway through the final period — in the PIAA Class AAAA western semifinals. Down 69-68 with 18 seconds left, the Lions got the ball to senior leading-scorer Aaron Morris.
The shot: Morris worked nine seconds off the clock before passing to senior Mike Carney on the wing. Carney bypassed the shot and threw it into the left corner to Little, a backup junior guard who played just 24 minutes during the regular season. Little's shot from 3-point range with 2.3 seconds left in front of the Altoona bench was good for a 71-69 Altoona victory.
Mirror excerpt from Sunday, March 15, 1998: At basketball playoff time, some of the most unlikely heroes emerge. Enter Jeremy Little. —Bob Larson
(To view the entire original articles from this game, go to altoonamirror.com.)
—Little: "The senior group that year [included Morris, Carney, Matt Durbin, Vince Nedimyer Jr.] was remarkable. They had success in football, basketball, and it continued to track and baseball. It was great just to have a chance to be a part of it.''
—Art Taneyhill, coach: "Jeremy had hardly played. We put him in there in the final seconds, and he hit the shot that put us in the western final.''
—Nedimyer: "Jeremy was the type of kid who frustrated you at practice because he worked so hard. It was pretty neat to see him hit that shot because it finally paid off for him.''
Aftermath: After Little was paraded around on fans' shoulders, the Lions went to the western final and lost to powerful New Castle, 68-48. Little, his wife Ashley and 4-month-old daughter currently live in Daphne, Ala.

COLUMBIA - Charleston County voters will get to decide this fall whether they wish to extend a tax that pays for capital improvements for school districts.
The measure, signed by Gov. Nikki Haley on Tuesday, allows for school officials to hold a voter referendum to pass a 1 percent sales tax increase. In Charleston County, officials will be able to ask voters whether they want to extend the tax, ahead of its expiration in 2016.
The bill's signing was a concern for some Charleston County officials and representatives, after learning of Sen. Kevin Bryant's efforts to have Haley veto the bill. Bryant, R-Anderson, argued if all the counties pass the referendum, taxpayers would be out $1.7 billion. Bryant unsuccessfully attempted to block the bill's passage last week with a filibuster.
In the past, the law allowed only Horry and Charleston counties to levy the tax through a referendum. But this time, 16 counties are included. The counties would have the option to let voters decide whether they'd like a tax assessed on a local level.
If Charleston voters pass a referendum this November, the tax would be extended until 2022.
Bryant acknowledged the bill's passing would not equate to an immediate tax increase for every county. He said his concern would be the pro-yes campaign paid for by special interests groups encouraging the referendum to pass on a local level, once the bill became law.
Despite his calling, Haley signed the bill, "because it lets voters decide for themselves how they would like their local tax structure to look."
"Although I believe that voters should be given the power to make these decisions for themselves, I hope that those affected by this bill will decide not to impose this additional tax," Haley said in a release. "A more complex tax code with higher rates is an impediment to a growing economy and works at cross-purposes with our successful efforts to reduce taxes at the state level, which have contributed to the steadily growing economy in our state."
Sen. Marlon Kimpson, D-Charleston, said he applauds Haley for allowing the legislation to move forward.
"I applaud the Governor for allowing the voters to decide whether or not to have a sales tax to improve schools in Charleston County and statewide," Kimpson said. "This really is more of a major impact for the 16 counties that will be included."
The sales tax is expected to generate $450 million through 2016 in Charleston County. The funds have provided for four new elementary schools and construction of an advanced studies center at Wando High School. The district is estimating a six-year extension of the tax would generate $540 million of which $378 million to go toward major capital projects. The rest of the funds would go toward maintaining school buildings and technology.
Charleston County School District Chief Financial Officer Mike Bobby said he was pleased Haley signed the bill.
"It gives us the opportunity to collaborate and to continue to do some really great things down the road," Bobby said. "We appreciate the fact that she signed it and that we'll be able to continue forward."
Sen. Larry Grooms, R-Charleston, who had been a champion for getting the bill passed, said while he is generally in favor of limiting tax increases, those opposed to this bill it wrong. He said he hasn't heard much opposition locally to extending the tax.
"I think most people in Charleston County are happy with how the capital improvement taxes are working," he said. "I think it's much better to build schools this way than with a straight up property tax increase."

The world is waiting for you! People to see, places to go, things to see. Travelling with your child will always be an adventure, so follow these key safety tips, and then get ready to hit the road.
Taking your child out in the car is a great shared experience, whether you're just popping out to the park or going further afield. Naturally, you want the reassurance that your child will travel safely and happily and a properly fitted car seat will be your first priority.
Optimal safetyAlways choose a safe car seat made by a reputable manufacturer, and we don't recommend to buy second-hand as the seat may be damaged and/or incomplete even if it looks brand new. For optimal safety, choose a car seat with extra side protection.
Also, make sure you install the car seat properly and that it is the right size for your child. Buy from a trusted shop and ask the salesperson's advice. If you fit the car seat to the front seat of your car, it's important to always turn off the airbags and put the seat of the car in the most rearward position.
Make travelling fun Take regular breaks if you're on a long journey – it's important for you and your child to stretch your legs, get some fresh air and stay mobile! Take warm covers too so your child can take a nap – most car seats have a resting position.
Don't forget to have some travel games planned to help pass the time on longer trips – even simple games such as I Spy will keep kids happy. You can also sing songs with them, play music or talking book CDs, and also make sure they have their favourite toy or book with them. Healthy snacks and drinks are a good idea too.
When you get there… Make sure you have suitable outdoor clothes ready for your child, sun protection if it's hot, a raincover when it rains of a footmuff when it's cold.

The 4 Worst Times to Be on The Internet
#2. The Day a Huge Meme Blows Up
The Reason:
Meme. Meme. Parody of meme. Round-up of parodies of meme. Anti-meme. Meta-meme. Meme meme meme.
The morning of Rebecca Black's infamous Internet debut, one of my coworkers forwarded me her terrible, terrible music video. I'm sorry, I typed that wrong. Eleven of my coworkers, 25 high school friends and 132,000 Internet strangers forwarded me that video.
And I'm just as guilty, because I sent it around to everyone, too. I was excited, because I finally had a place to put all of the hate-joy I'd been stockpiling. So I shared it with friends, traded jokes about it, rewatched it and did all of the things one does when a new viral sensation comes out.
Then a few hours went by and I was ready to actually start my day, but the Internet hadn't quite caught up yet. Because the Internet is infinite and caters to a massive audience that is constantly just waking up, it doesn't really advance throughout the day like a person does. It doesn't "get over" a viral video when you do, because a million people just saw it for the first time while you were taking lunch.
"For shit's- I was gone for two minutes!"
And then the parade starts. The meme leads the way, followed by parodies of the meme, followed by articles collecting all of those parodies, followed by meta-parodies, or self-aware-memes (Christ, talking like this is killing me), followed by self-important articles ranting about how meme-obsessed we've become. And even if the source of the meme is great, and even if some of the parodies are hilarious, it's still just, at the end of the day, exhausting. Back in whenever when Rebecca Black's video came out, by 2 o'clock, I just wanted to read about something new that wasn't related to Rebecca Black, but even important sites like CNN were talking about Black (probably). Being on the Internet all day when a huge, viral meme drops is like being the only person in the room who saw The Sixth Sense a year before everyone else did.
"No, yes, I- Yeah, I got it, it was very shocking. Has anyone seen any other movies?"
#1. April Fools
The Reason:
Fucking April Fools.
I can't get any work done on April Fools' Day, because every goddamned website pulls some kind of goddamned stunt.
It's fun for absolutely anyone who doesn't have to get anything done on April Fools' Day, which isn't who I am. (As a refresher, I am an angry, tired get-off-my-lawn sort of fella who has an Internet addiction and an inability to understand why people like to have fun.) IGN made a trailer for a fake Harry Potter show, Hulu pretended to be a website from the '90s, YouTube turned every video link into a RickRoll, Google did ... something cute, I'm sure (they do every year).
Mah! You guys are wicked.
I do get it. I understand the fun in these pranks. I laughed at Hulu's fake site and generally appreciate whatever Google decides to do. I know that no one's genuinely trying to fool anyone else; it's all about making a fun, silly joke.
It's only a problem because, on April Fools' Day, no one knows who to trust. When the Wall Street Journal and Times.com want to get in on the April Fools' Day fun just like everybody else, you can't trust any website conclusively. Everything you read could just be some elaborate prank. Or not elaborate, just stupid. A lot of sites just want to convince the reader that something false is true, so they just put forward some fake yet totally believable story. Some entertainment news site may report "This just in: Tommy Lee Jones cast as lead in new Quentin Tarantino movie," and then turn around the next day and say "April Fools! There IS no movie! Haw! Prankmaster!" Because some people think a good prank is just a convincing lie, and not a clever joke. Because some people don't know how pranks work.
"HAH! Got you, no he's not! You look like such an IDIOT."
As a result, you can't trust any site or any story you read, all day, so you're better off avoiding all of them altogether.
Which is ... a bad thing? Am I complaining about having to take a day away from the Internet? Yikes. Yikes. I've gotta ... I've just got to take some time away. I'm gonna go outside and call my family, you guys. Please stop reading this article ... now.

Local restaurateurs and tourism officials think beer may be the key ingredient in luring visitors to downtown Buffalo.
A group of downtown restaurant operators and tourism officials said Wednesday they hope a marketing program built around the Buffalo Brewery District, comprising two existing and potentially two other craft breweries in the downtown area, will help lure more tourists to the restaurants and hotels around Main Street.
"Craft beer is so popular," said Earl Ketry, the founder of Pearl Street Grill & Brewery who developed the Lofts on Pearl hotel in the Webb Building. "My goal isn't to grab somebody from Clarence, but to grab someone from Pittsburgh or Cleveland or Youngstown."
As part of the initiative, developed in connection with the Binational Alliance, participating hotels and restaurants are offering cross-border overnight packages that include winery and craft brewery tours. The initiative also is developing a new reservation system that "will make it easier for tourists to see what we've got," said Arlene White, the alliance's executive director.
The initiative also includes efforts for tourism sites on both sides of the border to promote their venues through other participants in the venture, White said.
The Pearl Street Grill and the recently opened Pan-American Grill & Brewery in the renovated Hotel @ the Lafayette currently are the two craft breweries in operation downtown.

The Seneca Gaming Corp. has agreed to make street and sidewalk improvements around the Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino, and the Common Council on Tuesday agreed to allow the improvements to move ahead.
The gaming corporation had earlier approached the Council for permission to improve streets around the casino at its expense, but a Council committee turned down the request last week.
Lawmakers said if the corporation was going to install new sidewalks along the casino, it should install sidewalks on the other side of the streets as well.
"We very much appreciate our ongoing relationship with both the City of Buffalo and our neighbors in the community surrounding the Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino," the corporation said in a statement Tuesday. "Last year, Seneca Gaming Corp. allocated $1 million for a host of community beautification and improvement projects, and our commitment to restore crumbling sidewalks on both sides of the street surrounding the Seneca Nation's Buffalo Creek Territory will provide additional benefits to the inner harbor area of downtown."
The gaming corporation has plans for streetscape improvements on Michigan Avenue, Perry Street, Marvin Street and South Park Avenue.
The improvements are being made in coordination with the construction of a permanent casino at Michigan and Perry, which is set to open later this summer.
Infrastructure improvements could begin in a few weeks and will be done before the casino opens, said corporation spokesman Philip J. Pantano.
The cost for the new casino and the infrastructure improvements is $130 million, though the final cost for the additional sidewalk work has not been determined, Pantano said.
The measure passed Tuesday in an 8-1 vote. Delaware Council Member Michael J. LoCurto, a frequent critic of the corporation, voted against it.
"While I appreciate that the gaming committee will do the other sides of the streets, I still feel at this time they've still not addressed the many broken agreements with the city," LoCurto said.
In other action Tuesday:
• The Council unanimously appointed Rasheed Wyatt as its chief of staff. Wyatt replaces Kevin Linder. The Council majority selected Wyatt, who had been a senior legislative assistant on the Council staff since January 2012.
• The Council approved requests for underage patrons to visit Lux, 75 W. Chippewa St., on Feb. 2 and 14. Ellicott Council Member Darius G. Pridgen said the approval was a way to allow the Brown administration to decide whether it has the resources to accommodate the request.
Pridgen and the administration are working to straighten out the process that allows bar owners to apply for exceptions to the city's policy of prohibiting people under 21 from visiting Chippewa Entertainment District establishments. The Police and Fire departments know their staffing levels better than the Council does and whether they have the personnel scheduled to handle the event, Pridgen said.
• The Council unanimously adopted a measure that institutes a process for swearing in individuals who speak at Council meetings related to a permit or license application. An oath will be administered verbally or in writing, according to the resolution. .
• The lack of city regulations regarding existing outdoor wood boilers will be discussed at the Legislation Committee meeting Tuesday, at the request of a block club.

We've got a cabin up on Pelican and I've definitely noticed less cormorants on the lake this summer. The state did grant the owner of Gooseberry Island a permit to kill cormorants, which was done this Spring. I talked to a DNR officer on the lake this summer and he said they had shot almost 400 birds, I don't recall the exact numbers but it was somewhere between 350-400.
Thanks for the Update, I think that I did see less birds out on Edwards as well later this summer. Hopefully they shoot 400 more next spring!

Officials at TAP Biosystems say they have agreed to collaborate with Life Technologies on the development a cost-efficient, high-throughput protein expression platform. The partnership will combine Life Technologies' Expi293™ expression system for transient transfection with TAP's ambr™ advanced micro bioreactor to enable automated high-throughput small-scale protein expression. According to a TAP spokesperson, the increased culture consistency and productivity provided by both the Expi293 and ambr systems will offer a novel platform for both small volume protein expression screens and optimization of transient expression conditions.
The ambr system uses scale-down bioreactors where culture conditions such as pH and DO are controlled in 48 micro bioreactors (10–15 mL) in parallel. The goal is to ensure that protein quality produced by the Expi293F cells cultured in ambr is consistent. Applications for the protein generated include vector optimization studies, as well as high-throughput, small-scale functional protein production and protein purification studies.
"Currently with Expi293F cells we're seeing yields of up to 1 g/L, exceeding the expression levels of even bacterial systems," explained Sanjay Vasu, staff scientist at Life Technologies. "The benefit of this is that scientists will have sufficient protein for analytical studies. And since this is a mammalian system, mammalian proteins are more likely to be properly folded and biologically active."
"Since the Expi293 Expression System can produce milligram to gram quantities of protein with consistent quality, it is ideal to amplify this with the consistent automation and proven scalability of the ambr system," added Barney Zoro, Ph.D., ambr product manager at TAP Biosystems. "This will enable scientists to rapidly automate the generation of enough protein for analysis from 48 parallel cultures, thus saving laboratory staff time, increasing laboratory capacity, and significantly reducing the cost per gram of protein produced."

Just before the show started, Bieber tried to inconspicuously enter the building, but someone noticed him and yelled his name, an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
As soon as the show began, the "Come and Get It" singer was "nuzzling right into" Bieber, the source adds.
During the dimly-lit performance, Bieber wore sunglasses and a hat as the duo ate Mike & Ike and M&M candies with Sprite and apple juice.

Living in New Haven
New Haven has been home to Yale University for nearly three centuries. As a center for business and a mecca for the arts, New Haven is recognized as a city of innovation, culture and prosperity. Approximately 20 square miles with nearly 130,000 residents, New Haven is conveniently located between Boston and New York. As Yale President Richard C. Levin, a thirty-year resident of New Haven, notes, New Haven is "large enough to be interesting, yet small enough to be friendly."
New Haven is a great place to live, work, do business, and enjoy life. We hope this site will give you a sense of New Haven's diverse offerings including culture, community and residential areas, and services.
