DailyTech reported yesterday on GM's announcement that it had found a buyer for the Hummer brand of heavy utility vehicles. The mystery buyer promised to take on the brand and help expand its international presence. In the process it saved a number of jobs at Hummer plants and helped GM complete a major step toward moving out of bankruptcy.
Now the identity of the mystery buyer has been revealed. Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Company Ltd., a Chinese industrial firm, will be purchasing the brand and attempting to revive it.
States Yang Yi, chief executive of Tengzhong, "We plan to ... allow Hummer to innovate and grow in exciting new ways under the leadership and continuity of its current management team."
He did, however, hint at changes stating that the deal "will allow Hummer to better meet demand for new products such as more fuel-efficient vehicles in the U.S."
The companies hope to have the deal finalized by September. The deal does not concern the military Hummer technology owned by defense contractor AM General, which licensed the brand name to GM for civilian vehicle purposes. AM General will now, in turn, license the name to Sichuan Tengzhong, which will continue the civilian Hummer development.

DeLAND--The Stetson University football coaching staff will give all of the women in the DeLand community a chance to brush up on their football knowledge before the Hatters take to the field this fall.
The coaching staff will host the 2nd Annual Women's Football Clinic on Friday, August 1st, from 5:30 p.m. until 9 p.m. at the Athletics Training Center on the Stetson campus. The facility is located at the corner of Amelia and Minnesota Avenues.
"When we did this last year we didn't know what to expect, but we got such great reactions from the participants last year that we knew we would be doing it again this year," said Assistant Athletic Director Jeffery Higgins.
Head football coach Roger Hughes, along with his coaching staff, will host the clinic, which will be geared toward all women, regardless of their level of football knowledge or experience.
"Participating in the first ever Stetson Women's Football Clinic was an unforgettable experience. It was a great opportunity for new friendships and many laughs. The coaches provided us with inside knowledge and respect for the program. I don't plan to ever miss this special event," said Sherri Emery, a participant in last year's clinic.
The clinic will include classroom sessions, on-field practice drills, and a post-clinic reception.
The cost to attend the Clinic is $75 per person and limited to the first 100 people. All proceeds for the event will benefit the Me Strong organization for cancer research.

Punk rock and stage musicals can be a fantastic combination
When Green Day adapted their album American Idiot for the stage three years ago, there were raised eyebrows from both the musical theatre community and their punk rock fanbase.
Needlessly so, it would transpire; just as the 2004 concept album itself was a global smash that cemented the band as a stadium-filling rock act, the musical went on to be a Broadway hit.
Now, since the 2009 premiere in Berkeley, California, it's transferred to New York, embarked on a US tour this summer and played through the UK – now it's ready to rock London.
Written against the backdrop of the US's post 9/11 engagements, American Idiot is a politically-charged show that tells the tale of three young men, and the different choices they make – Will (Casey O'Farrell) is glued to the couch in Nowheresville, US, with a kid a pregnant girlfriend.
The other two, lead Johnny (Alex Nee) and Tunny (Thomas Hettrick), head for the big city, where their stories diverge.
Tunny opts for the military and Middle Eastern deployment while Johnny follows a path of addiction and lost love, before making peace with the world and himself.

Super Bowl chili
January 26, 2012 - Dorma Tolson
It's time for planning Super Bowl parties and even though none of our local teams are competing this year that's no reason not to enjoy the game and all of the fabulous food involved. Chili is included on many Super Bowl party menus. If you're not a fan of the super hot and spicy varieties, you might enjoy my homemade recipe which is based on the way my mother made it when we were kids. Here's the recipe:
Saute 2 pounds of ground beef, one medium onion and a small to medium green pepper in a skillet until the meat is brown and the veggies are tender. Drain and place in large pan or stockpot. Add one small can light kidney beans (two if you like beans, I don't) One 15 oz can chopped tomatoes with onion and green pepper 3 cans tomato soup At least 3 Tbs chili powder (more if you like it spicy) Two Tbs sugar (I like mine sweet).
Cook for about 2 hours and serve. Serves six.

Perhaps newlywed Zara Phillips is taking a cue from her cousin Prince William when it comes to her honeymoon with husband Mike Tindall.
Just as William delayed his wedding trip with Duchess Catherine to the, Phillips is crediting her and Tindall's busy schedules for their delay in taking a wedding trip.
"We're kind of missing the quiet period where we can catch up and have some sleep," Phillips, 30, who on Saturday wed the captain of England's rugby team, 32, in Edinburgh, tells the Associated Press.
Instead of soaking up newlywed life, Phillips, a former equestrian world champion, went back to business Tuesday and launched a line of children's equestrian apparel.
Phillips, who does not use a royal title, is keeping her maiden name for professional and sponsorship purposes, she says, but will use her husband's last name for personal matters.

5 Terrible Things That Are So Great They Can't Be Improved
This is not an article about guilty pleasures. This is also not an article about things that are so bad that we love them for how awful they are. Lastly, this is not an article about penguins, but now I'm just being confusing.
John Foxx/Stockbyte/Getty Images
What are we talking about again?
This article is about things that really are perfect. They may be maligned or fail certain tests of objective beauty, quality, or greatness, but you know they're perfect because any attempt to "fix" them leads to failure. These things are just as they should be, warts and all. Join me as I choose my candidates from the worlds of film, music, literature, food, and drink. ("Join me" means keep reading. I don't want you to come with me, you weird Internet person.)
#5. David Lee Roth
If you're still a little shaky on the premise of this article, just let ol' Diamond Dave clear it all up for you. David Lee Roth was the original singer of Van Halen and the only one that ever mattered. Want to get a taste of what David could do? Sure, listen to his shticky faux blues greatness on "Ice Cream Man," or perhaps the song he's most known for, "Jump." I used to sing in bands, and "Jump" is the hardest song I ever had to perform. And it had nothing to do with the phrasing or note selection or any of the things that typically make songs demanding. Singing Rush, Led Zeppelin, and Soundgarden were all easier than "Jump." Why? Because it's virtually impossible to sing "Jump" without looking like a douchebag cheeseball loser. But the great David Lee Roth somehow found a way to make being a douchebag cheeseball loser look like the coolest thing you could ever hope to be:
Look, we all know Dave's vocal flaws. For the most part, his voice comes in two flavors: cocky baritone swagger and throat-cracking screech that sounds really hilarious when you isolate it.
But if You Tried to Fix It ...
You'd get this:
Rick Diamond/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Or this:
Let's be clear -- Sammy Hagar and Gary Cherone are both technically better singers than David Lee Roth. They have better range and tonality, and most of all, they took Van Halen's music a little more seriously, instead of using it as an excuse for their frontman antics. And you know what? They were wrong. Van Halen's music doesn't deserve to be taken seriously. Not like that. Great Van Halen is an amalgam of power and smiles. It kicks ass while it makes you happy, and no one can touch David Lee Roth at that.
#4. Chicken McNuggets
I'm old enough to remember a time when the Chicken McNugget didn't exist.
Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"Me just have Big Mac."
When the Chicken McNugget came to town, we all rode up to the local McDonald's in our crank-powered cars and top hats to stare at this wonder. What was a McNugget? This was a time before the "What part of a chicken does the McNugget come from?" jokes were even made. Dipping sauces other than ketchup? What is this magic? It was an exciting time, and every little boy and girl I knew lost their damn minds over how good it was.
But then the backlash. It's not real meat. It's totally processed and filled with lard. And, of course, if you eat too many, it will literally fucking kill you. OH, BOO HOO! We know. We know.
But if You Tried to Fix It ...
You'd get a chicken nugget. You know chicken nuggets. You can get them at Burger King. You can get them at the diner. You can get them in bags at your grocer's freezer. They brag that they use only real choice white meat. They mock McDonald's processed, Frankenstein production. Oh, and something else: They don't taste nearly as good. When I want a McNugget, I don't want quality chicken. If I wanted that, I'd buy some nice organic chicken breasts and make my patented chicken Parmesan that would make your dick grow six inches and your balls fall off. (Let's pretend that's a good thing.) Anyway, when I want a McNugget, I want tasty shit. Tasty. Shit. And you can't polish a turd.
#3. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Now, hold on. If you think I'm criticizing this book or the late, great Douglas Adams, you are sadly mistaken. I love The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and it was definitely an influence on my novel, Notes from the Internet Apocalypse. For those who don't know the book, it tells the story of mild-mannered Englishman Arthur Dent, who is saved from death by his friend and secret alien Ford Prefect moments before the Earth is blown up to make room for an intergalactic highway. If you've not read it, read it. Or better yet, get your hands on the BBC miniseries.
So where's the problem? There is none, but the thing is, for all its greatness, it's not a great novel -- mostly because it's not a novel. The project started as a radio play. Then it became a novel. Then a series of novels. A trilogy, in fact. Except that Adams wrote five of them and then called it a trilogy in five parts. The point is, Hitchhiker's is not concerned with a conventional arc or dramatic structure. It's a series of loosely connected stuff that happens. People with masters and doctorates refer to this genre as picaresque, but you can have that word for the price of reading the Internet. So basically, even though it's hilarious, this story has very little arc, character development, or emotional growth of any kind.
But if You Tried to Fix It ...
You'd ruin it. Case in point: the 2005 movie version. This movie was lovingly made. Martin Freeman is the perfect Arthur Dent. Mos Def is a shockingly good choice for Ford Prefect, and Sam Rockwell is as great as he always is as Zaphod Beeblebrox. Everyone in this movie is good. But here's the thing -- in order to make it a movie, a real thing, they had to build up Arthur's character a bit and add more of the relationship between him and love interest Trillian. And while they were at it, they toned down the number of passages from the book that give random, hilarious information but do not usually move the plot forward.
And even though the movie was made eight years ago, Zooey Deschanel has apparently always been 26.
Here's the problem: Arthur Dent isn't exactly the main character of the book. As the clip above states, it's the story of a book. The Guide itself is the main character, and without question the encyclopedic passages are the most entertaining parts. No, Hitchhiker's might not achieve wonderful things in dramatic structure or generate great empathy for its characters, but it is what it is, and it's a perfect comedy classic. If you're illiterate, just get the miniseries, which doesn't try to tell a conventional story and puts the Guide itself as the star of the show where it belongs.

On January 24, eMarketer predicted that Twitter would bring in a bit over $150 million in 2011 and $250 million in 2012. (You can see the chart at the bottom of this column.) Is this realistic? I think it may be from what I have learned and am writing about below.
Twitter's "Promoted" Products
Recently my firm had a very interesting series of calls and meetings with Twitter and I got my head around all the details of its advertising or "Promoted" products. Twitter's offerings have three attributes that really struck the value/performance chord in my book:
Cost-per-click from its Promoted Tweets
Cost-per-action (actually cost-per-follower) from its Promoted Accounts
Exclusivity from its Promoted Trends offering (basically Twitter's version of a home page takeover)
So here is a quick breakdown of what those products are offering:

"Bolon indicated to commissioners she was troubled by the fact someone with questionable authorization had access to the investment records" This has nothing to do with security so why should this information not be available to anyone, after all, it is public money and the public has a right to know where it is invested. Public officials are just that, they have no right to privacy when it comes to public matters. They should realise that when they run for office. We need more things to be available on line. If you work for a school your wages are on line for the public to see, as well they should be.

Wrong Time Boner. There are a few times when a boner is acceptable (i.e. while sexing or jacking) but the rest of the time, it's a WTB.
Shit, thinking of my girlfriend while in the locker room shower was a terrible idea. That WTB is the reason I'm wearing this cast now.

An Acronym meaning Way To Blunted Syndrome. Way To Blunted Syndrome (W.T.B.S) occurs when one smokes way to much weed at once and becomes stoned past the point of simple recreation. Being this high puts you in a sort of "White Noise" state. Symptoms of W.T.B.S include (but are not limited to) lose of feeling in face, lighting your cigarette the wrong way, suddenly realizing that the song you are listening to ended ten minutes ago, putting sentences together like George W. Bush, and getting excited because you beat your dog in a staring contest. W.T.B.S syndrome feels incredible, but due to the dumb decisions one tends to make while suffering from Way To Blunted Syndrome (such as mooning a cop) it can be dangerous to yourself or others.
Person 1: Dude last night I watched family guy on mute while listening to dubstep and cypress hill!
Person 2: Wow, you must have had W.T.B.S

5 Online Petitions That Prove Democracy is Broken
*ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Guarantee insane political comments in the lead sentence.
Now that the government has given democracy itself a comment section, let's see what the Internet is doing with it, shall we?
#5. "Show Us the Aliens"
NOTE:Petitions are notoriously wordy because idiots think talking longer makes a stronger argument. Links to the full text are provided below each image.
It's obvious that there's life somewhere else in the universe (especially since every star has planets), and equally obvious that there's none on Earth. The government can't even hide their representatives' genitals from us, never mind spaceships.
"If I told you that you could ride it into space, would you look at the pictures of it?"
We're not saying E.T.-ophiles are bad at research, but they submitted two petitions on the exact same subject on the same day. They couldn't get through a single website without missing important evidence and wasting their time. The best part of their petition is "Opinion polls now indicate more than 50 percent of the American people believe there is an extraterrestrial presence and more than 80 percent believe the government is not telling the truth about this phenomenon." They directly equate this belief with existence, instead of proving an urgent need for educational reform. Or legislation against making up imaginary statistics. Though to be fair, "belief = proof" is the exact argument millions of other Americans use to justify beings in the sky.
This petition is supported by the "Paradigm Research Group," who make the Atlantean Time-Share Group look well thought out. And they've apparently been too busy watching the skies since 1998 to make a new website.
Yes, these are people on the cutting edge of information technology.
The petitions gained 17,000 signatures, so the government decided to respond and subtract 17,000 from every future vote on anything. The reply pointed out that there wasn't any evidence, at all, and listed all the awesome searches for off-world life currently being conducted by people who know how to work a brain. Faced with overwhelming evidence and the entirety of NASA, the Paradigm Research Group tried a second petition asking for the exact same things again. They just keep plugging away until they're satisfied, no matter how hilariously they embarrass themselves. If we thought the submitter had a girlfriend, we'd feel sorry for her.
#4. Energy "Catalizer"
The petition is written in the third person, but there hasn't been an unlikelier third person since Adam and Eve's wacky alien gardener, Zorblu. This isn't Rossi's first try at sock-puppeting: His blog features comments from documentary makers, international think-tank executives, global business clients and probably a few wizards begging to buy this amazing product. It's less convincing than a teenager renaming his right hand "girlfriend from Canada."
And while we can't say for sure that Andrea Rossi hasn't mastered the physics of an energy catalyzer, he can't even spell "catalyzer." His invention allegedly fuses hydrogen and nickel to produce copper and energy. We won't get into the impossibilities here, but it has more logical flaws than Willy Wonka's chocolate factory and is believed to actually exist by fewer people.
Even though every respectable scientist in the world says his machine is full of shit, he's skipping straight to the White House. Because it's not like the U.S. government has any history of knowing about nuclear devices.
These rubes don't know a thing about fusion.
Rossi insists that his invention, which looks like it was welded by a depressed plumber to express the bleakness of a lifetime spent with other people's U-bends, works by using a "secret mixture" of catalysts to fuse hydrogen and nickel into copper. You know you can trust a nuclear reactor that uses the same explanation as KFC.
"As long as it's not clogged with hair, it generates free energy."
Especially when they're talking about a reaction that is energetically impossible even in the heart of a large star. His work has been published in the "Journal of Nuclear Physics," but only because that's the name he gave his blog. It's like changing your first name to Doctor and trying to operate on people. The device is actually a reverse Schrodinger's cat, because if the reaction ever works it'll kill everyone attempting to observe it. The 2 inches of lead shielding around the core are to gamma rays what cling wrap is to an angry tiger.
Rossi reportedly has a history with fraudulent companies and alleged metals, and a preliminary patent review reported that his claims "offend against the generally accepted laws of physics." When a government body has to point out that you're insulting reality, your invention would be rejected by He-Man as an implausible source of energy.
#3. Evil Corporate Cure Conspiracy
The idea that corporations are hiding a cure for cancer is popular with paranoid lunatics who don't understand science, medicine, patents or profit.
"What are you idiots saying now?"
It's a little-known effect that conspiracy theories always attract the exact opposite kind of lunatic: people who never leave their basement believe aliens have traveled all the way to Earth, people who can't spell think superscientists have cured all disease and assholes who are virgins think only assholes get women.
This petition is such a contradictory mixture of cynical and optimistic it shouldn't exist. Care Bears with ecstasy make more sense, because at least then you'd understand why they're so huggy all the time. The 591 petitioners believe that huge corporations would rather let people die than become the most successful brand of all time by curing a disease forever, but that the same EvilCorp will hand over the cure if there's a law saying so. The law is less enforceable than the three-second rule on the International Space Station.
Especially since their strategy is "There's a giant conspiracy that has suppressed evidence for decades, so we'll ask them online instead." If there were a secret government conspiracy to paralyze the masses and distract them with pointless bullshit, they would have invented the Internet. Internet petitions are a less effective form of protest than punching the pillow you're crying into.

|Topo II: An Enzyme Target for Antibacterial and Cancer Drugs
The veil has finally been lifted on an enzyme that is critical to the process of DNA transcription and replication and is a prime target of antibacterial and anticancer drugs. Researchers at Berkeley Lab and the University of California, Berkeley, have produced the first three-dimensional structural images of a DNA-bound type II topoisomerase (topo II) that is responsible for untangling coiled strands of the chromosome during cell division. Preventing topo II from disentangling a cell's DNA is fatal to the cell, which is why drugs that target topo II serve as agents against bacterial infections and some forms of cancer. This first ever structural image of topo II should help in the development of future antibacterial and anticancer drugs that are even more effective and carry fewer potential side effects.
Topoisomerase has been called nature's magician because it can literally pass one DNA segment through another. It is an enzyme that is divided into two classes, type I and type II, depending on whether it cleaves one or two strands of DNA during the catalytic cycle. Topo II cleaves a double-stranded DNA, passes a second duplex through the break, and then immediately repairs the broken strands. This enables topo II to control the topology of DNA for chromosome segregation and disentanglement.
Using the exceptionally bright and intense beams of x rays generated at ALS Beamline 8.3.1, the researchers obtained high-resolution, three-dimensional crystallography images of the DNA binding and cleavage core of a topo II enzyme taken from yeast as it interacted with a segment of DNA. The images revealed that topo II causes a sharp bend—150 degrees or more—in the DNA segment at the point where it is cleaved. The near folding-in-half of the DNA segment helps enable topo II to recognize where it should disentangle DNA strands.
Large conformational changes in the topo II accompany the DNA deformation, creating a bipartite catalytic site that positions the DNA backbone near a reactive tyrosine and coordinated magnesium ion. Remarkably, this configuration turns out to also closely resemble the catalytic site of certain type I topoisomerases, which reinforces the evolutionary link between what are otherwise structurally and functionally distinct enzymes.
Based on the structural images, the researchers believe that topo II employs a "two-gate" mechanism to carry out its tasks. The upper domain of topo II opens to admit a segment of DNA and transport it to the enzyme's core where the segment is folded. A second DNA segment is then admitted and the upper domain gate closes. This closing of the upper gate triggers the cleavage of the bent DNA segment and the subsequent transport of the second DNA segment through the break. When the gate in topo II's lower domain swings open, the second DNA segment is released and the cleaved DNA segment is reconnected. In many ways, the enzyme works like a set of canal locks, opening and closing certain protein interfaces, or gates, to control the passage of one DNA segment through another without accidentally letting go of the DNA and breaking the chromosome irreversibly.
To the credit of biochemists and chemists, their discovery and refinement of anti-topo II drugs have already made a remarkable therapeutic impact. Yet, all of the work on these compounds has been done without a good picture of how type II topoisomerases engage DNA. This new structural knowledge fills that hole, and should be of significant help for guiding the development of future anti-topo II drugs with improved efficacy. The researchers are now looking into producing crystallographic images of topo II as it interacts with antibacterial and anticancer drugs to determine the rules of engagement.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Incline High School placed first at the Congressional District 2 We the People Competition on Saturday at the University of Nevada, Reno, ahead of Edward C. Reed Jr. High School (second) and Reno High School (third).
Incline will compete with the following schools in the state final competition on Feb. 2, 2013, at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas.
• Congressional District 1: Clark High School and Veterans Tribute High School
• Congressional District 3: Bishop Gorman High School and Basic High School
• Congressional District 4: Canyon Springs High School
"The State Bar of Nevada is very proud of how strong the 'We the People' program is growing throughout Nevada," said Kathleen Dickinson, Law-Related Education Coordinator for the State Bar of Nevada, in an email. We had 18 teams statewide this year which is more than we have ever had before. We appreciate all the support from the lawyers, alumni, teachers, parents and school districts."
The winner of the Feb. 2 event will represent Nevada in the state finals on April 25-30, 2013, in Arlington, Va.
During the 2011-12 school year, Milt Hyams' We The People class at Incline High won the state title, besting Reno and Bishop Gorman at the Feb. 4, 2012, event in Las Vegas.
It was the school's seventh state win in the past 12 years, and also served as the closest victory in the then-25-year history of "We The People" in Nevada, as the Highlanders beat Reno, 1,270 to 1,266.
Incline went on to compete in the national championship in late April of this year in Arlington and the Washington, D.C., area, winning an award for the highest score for the best non-finalist team from the Western region.

Polysomnography is a sleep study. This test records certain body functions as you as you sleep, or try to sleep. Polysomnography is used to diagnose sleep disorders.
Sleep study; Polysomnogram; Rapid eye movement studies; Split night polysomnography; PSG
There are two states of sleep:
REM sleep alternates with NREM sleep about every 90 minutes. A person with normal sleep usually has four to five cycles of REM and NREM sleep during a night.
A sleep study measures your sleep cycles and stages by recording:
Polysomnography can be done either at a sleep center or in your home.
Full sleep studies are usually done at a special sleep center.
You may be able to use a sleep study device in your home instead of at a sleep center to help diagnose sleep apnea. You either pick up the device at a sleep center or a trained therapist comes to your home to set it up.
Home testing may be used when:
Whether the test is at a sleep study center or at home, you prepare the same way. Unless directed to do so by your doctor, do not take any sleep medicine and do not drink alcohol or caffeinated beverages before the test. They can interfere with your sleep.
The test helps diagnose possible sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Your health care provider may think you have OSA because you have these symptoms:
Polysomnography can also diagnose other sleep disorders:
A sleep study tracks:
Most people have short periods during sleep where their breathing stops or is partly blocked. The Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) is the number of apnea or hypopnea measured during a sleep study. AHI results are used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea.
Normal test result show:
Test results above 5 may mean you have sleep apnea:
To make a diagnosis and decide on treatment, the sleep specialist must also look at:

Man shatters coast-to-coast speed record
POSTED: 06:45 AM PDT Nov 01, 2013
Where "Cannonball Run" was a comedic twist on a race inspired by the real-life rebellion over the mandated 55-mph speed limits of the 1970s, Ed Bolian set out on a serious mission to beat the record for driving from New York to Los Angeles.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Cell-based assays have become fundamental and irreplaceable tools in drug discovery and life science, providing increasingly accurate models for normal and pathological human biological processes. However, these tools come with limitations. As new cutting-edge assay formats that use only a fraction of the typical volume of cells and reagents become available, researchers can overcome some of the major limitations associated with cell-based assays.
The challenge begins with limited access to precious cell lines. Assays in multiwell formats can quickly expend cells. Primary cells, or human tissue cell-derived iPS (induced pluripotent stem) cells, such as cardiomyocytes, hepatocytes, and neuronal cells are still not broadly used in a high-throughput manner, mainly due to their high cost.
Although wells are an efficient and simple strategy to segregate experimental conditions in various formats, they have major restrictions when using suspension, loosely adherent and, in some cases, fully adherent cells—especially with high-throughput formats such as 96-, 384-, and 1,536-well plates.
Suspension cells such as the U-937 line or PBMCs are challenging to use in cell-based assays as they may be washed away in assays involving repeated washing steps. This concern is magnified in laboratories employing automated plate-washing equipment.
The answer may be found in a microscale solution offered with a bioassay platform recently introduced by Curiox Biosystems. The DropArray System was designed to miniaturize cell-based assays in a format that is practical and easy to integrate into today's labs.
A key benefit to miniaturizing cell-based assays is the proportional reduction in cell and reagent volumes required to complete an assay. Using standard liquid-dispensing equipment, cell sample drops containing as few as 100 cells are deposited onto DropArray microplates (Figure 1). The cell samples reside on small hydrophilic spots in 96 or 384 array patterns on the flat, hydrophobic surface of the plate. DropArray Liquid Lid, an immiscible, gas-permeable fluid is used to cover and protect samples from evaporation or loss due to repeated washing steps, yet still allows gas exchange (Figure 1).
DropArray Washing Stations automate the task of gentle washing procedures. Plates are positioned in the liquid-tight chamber of the system's washing station, and an aqueous washing buffer is automatically applied. Minimal cell loss is achieved with the station's gentle, low velocity shaking motion.
It is these key features that enable assays to be performed using adherent, weakly adherent, and even nonadherent cells for long-term on-plate incubations without the risk of evaporation. Consumption of cells and reagents per data point is reduced at least 3 to 10 times.
iPS-derived cells such as hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes, and neural cells are increasingly popular for various types of assays. However, the cost of these cells prohibited their broad use in drug discovery or tests. The DropArray plate provides a reduction of cell and reagent consumption with no cell loss during washing.
In a comparison of a conventional 384-well plate with a DropArray plate, the difference in cell and reagent volumes is sizable (Table). In this example comparison, a conventional 384-well system uses 9,000 μL of media, while the well-less DropArray system uses 900 μL. Similarly, if the conventional plate uses 5,000–7,500 iPS cardiomyocytes, for instance, the DropArray plate requires only 1,200–1,500 cells. Researchers can see the immediate benefit in reducing the number of cells involved in their assays.
It is difficult to run nonadherent or semi-adherent cell-based assays in a high-throughput manner due to extensive cell loss during washing steps. The DropArray Automated Washers perform plate washing using a gentle, low-velocity liquid exchange that does not detach the cells. It allows for high-throughput handling of semi-adherent and suspension cells in exactly the same manner as adherent cells with minimal cell loss.
To demonstrate, a cell-based extracellular protein-protein interaction assay (Figure 2) was used to compare the cell retention of a standard 384-well plate with that of a DropArray plate after 4 automated washings —equivalent to 16 washings by hand (Figure 2A). COS7 cells transfected with either HNT or OPCML expression constructs were fixed and then incubated with NEGR1-hFc bait protein. The cells were then washed and stained with antihuman AF488 (green) and scanned on the IN Cell Analyzer 2000 (GE Healthcare).
The same reagents for transfection and staining were used on a standard 384-well microtiter plate (Aurora, Brooks Automation) and a DropArray plate for a side-by-side comparison of the two formats. Hoechst staining (blue) of the nuclei shows the same cell density on both plate formats. Scale bar = 70 μm. Figure 2B shows the quantification of the mean intensity of the green channel from the images acquired.
Using three different cell types, equivalent intensity values are seen when NEGR1-hFc binds to cells expressing three different expression constructs of known NEGR1 binding partners. The same values are generated from the standard 384-well format, but only for the adherent cell line (COS7), while the weakly adherent (293T) and suspension adapted (293S) cell lines were not retained during the washing procedure on the standard 384-well plate format.
The Curiox DropArray platform allows scientists to perform cellular assays using primary or other precious cells in lower volumes for greater efficiency. DropArray is suitable for use with adherent, semi-, and nonadherent cells. Long term, on-plate incubation is achieved without edge effect and evaporation is minimized by applying a "liquid lid" of immiscible sealing fluid. Researchers are finally able to run cell-based assays as biology dictates, not based on the availability of cells or cost of reagents.

I mentioned yesterday, that I painted something funny... I painted the knife block in our kitchen. It was just a boring blonde wood, before, but obviously doing its job just fine:
I had the idea to spray paint it months ago, but I got around to it over Christmas break.
We've had it since we got married (almost five years), and I clean it when I clean the kitchen, but I thought I'd use a little something different this time, to try and remove unnatural residue. Since it seems every pin on Pinterest involving cleaning always uses white vinegar, I decided to use that. I think it worked well, and took off anything that would need to be removed before spraypainting.
First, I spray primed it (a must! Especially if you are really wanting to make your paint stick, and, since red is a thin opaque color, the white helps keep your paint bright and make sure no wood grain shows through, and also keeps you from having to do as many red layers).
And, after the red coat! I love it.
nothing like a bright red accessory to brighten a space up, plus I have other touches of bright red in my kitchen, like my giraffe towel hook from World Market.
(see him up there, over the sink?)
I had to take these at night, so sorry they aren't very bright!
so much cuter, don't you think? It makes me happy. It's the little things...

Nice trailer
By Grandpa Paul
from Fayetteville, NC
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Nashbar Kid Karriage II Bike Trailer:
Purchased this for my grandchildren to be able to go with mom and dad. They are still a little small to use but it appears as it will work well. It arrived very quickly and was very easy to assemble. Materials seem fine. Others have criticized the wheel/axle system but for the sale price it appears to be a very nice product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good product but suffers from quality control issues.
By David
from Pensacola, FL
Arrived with a flat tire. Upon inspection it was evident that the tube had been pinched badly during assembly causing the tube to tear. I also found one of the frame assembly nuts to be barely fastened. It would have likely come loose during the first use had I not tightened it. The canvas top cover was missing one of the velcro fastening squares. Whoever sewed and assembled the canvas top cover probably just skipped one accidentally. To find these 3 issues with 1 unit causes me serious concern with the quality control of this product. Nashbar customer support agreed to send a replacement top cover. I also requested a credit for the tube that I replaced out of pocket. Nashbar customer support is requiring a picture of the receipt for the replacement tube. It's not worth my time. I was let down this time by Nashbar.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

An excellent investment.
By Fudloe

See all my reviews
I have had my Kid Karriage II for almost three years, my son is going to be six and still fits easily. And he's tall!This thing is great. Bombproof, easy to assemble & attach, relatively nimble, folds flat and after two plus years of long, regular rides, it has proved to be incredibly durable.As for another reviewer complaining that you can't ride it faster than 10 M.P.H., I have never run it slower than an average speed of 15 M.P.H. and regularly push it to over 20. Warnings such as this are for liability protection. I suggest users rely more on their own judgment, but in my experience, there is absolutely nothing unsafe to prevent riding at speed. In point of fact, it's cinstruction is vastly safer than my fist bicycle, which I never rode slowly. Ever.My son and I have spent many, many hours enjoying the outdoors and each other's company thanks to the Lid Karriage. We ride on the many miles of gevel surfaced rail-trails here in North Eastern Pennsylvania, with no equipment failure whatsoever despite the constant shock & vibration. My boy will be getting his own bike next year, so this autumn will be our final season with the Kid Karriage. However, as a bike commuter, I intend to continue using it for cargo as I do when he's not in it-it holds LOTS of groceries!I recommend this product more highly than almost anything else I own for cycling. And the value of the memories, the bonding and the joy it creates cannot even be measured.

Great buy!
By Lil'Brother
from Wyle, TX
Compared to others that I have owned (more expensive) this is a far lighter pull with the kid(s) in it and handles great! A little squeaky as it breaks in, but that is the only complaint. Best buy for the $, hands down.
By WhidbeyBD
from Whidbey Is, WA
Got this to play with the Grandkids and it was a hit! Easy to install, two small children (ages 3 & 5) fit good. Even got 7 year old in sitting with legs crossed. Great combo with stroller attachment! Can't speak for durability yet, but looks like it will hold up.
Great Trailer
By Ripshin
from Knoxville, TN
This trailer is perfect for our needs. We do not plan to do any extensive riding, but we wanted something that would allow us to take our 2 year old and 5 month old while we go for a bike ride with our 4 year old (yeah, we're kinda crazy). The trailer seems well built and is very easy to setup and attach to your bike. It has enough support to hold our 5 month old in place comfortably, and still has plenty of room for the 2 year old. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Decent for the price, but not what I expected.
By Kurt
from Iowa
I bought this thinking that it would be suitable for hauling kids and other stuff while riding at a normal speeds. Unfortunately, I normally ride faster than 10MPH-it's printed right on the rear of the canopy. Any more expensive trailer would not have this type of limitation. I think the reason behind the low speed rating is because of the axles/wheels fitting so sloppily into the frame (which lacks any type of suspension). Without any suspension, I have to think forcing your child to ride in this trailer is borderline cruelty. The hitch is also fairly hokey, but not when you consider the price point I suppose. The materials used in the shell seem to be a decent quality and it also comes with the flag. Those are the only high points. I'm giving this trailer 3 stars, which I feel is average. This trailer is NOT good enough for the more experienced cyclist who isn't patient enough to ride slowly. However, it is good enough for the casual rider with lots of time to spare, so as to slowly cruise from here to there.

New data released Thursday from the U.S. Census Bureau show Central Oregon is getting older, and experts say the numbers are both good and bad for the future.
People 65 and older is the population that's seen the biggest boom in Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties over the past two years.
"Central Oregon has so much to offer to an active senior that I think it's a destination spot for retirees," said Pamela Norr with Central Oregon Council on Aging. "People who may want to start a second career at that time in their lives, or third career come here."
But as seniors flock to the High Desert, many challenges arise. COCA officials say dementia and Alzheimer disease are significantly impacting the elderly in Central Oregon and nationwide. It could contribute to rising healthcare costs for everyone.
"But I think we're going to see an increased need in this complexity of healthcare and how we're going to reach those needs as they get older," Norr said.
And on the day when the latest census numbers were released, a new healthcare facility held it's grand opening in southeast Bend.
"It's just making sure that the community is educated and understands what the population needs, because we haven't seen such an influx -- and we're seeing it now," said the executive director of Mt. Bachelor Memory Care, Mallory Dacosta.
Mt. Bachelor Memory Care employees say they're excited for the new developments in elderly care, and Central Oregon was an ideal place to set up shop.
"It's so nice that we have so many businesses that are thriving for this population in town," Dacosta said. "It creates jobs and does a lot of things."
As the numbers continue to grow, officials say they expect to see more businesses, activities and options for the elderly.
"The more we vary it and the more we offer, the more people are going to be able to live in this wonderful place as long as they want to," Dacosta said.

Faced with a smothering and frustrating Italian defense in a must-win World Cup game Tuesday, the Uruguayan superstar responded with his front teeth.
It came at about the 80th minute when Suárez and Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini got tangled up in front of the Italy goal. The apparent chomp happened in an instant, but caught by television cameras, it became a worldwide sensation, and could lead to Suarez being kicked out of the World Cup.
The referee didn't see a bite, and no foul was called despite Chiellini pleading and pulling down his jersey to show a red mark on his left shoulder.
About a minute later, Uruguay scored the winning goal in a 1-0 game that sent Italy home.
Uruguay will continue playing, but FIFA will investigate and may suspend Suárez, who has twice before been disciplined for biting opponents in league games.
Julian Finney / Getty
Suárez didn't confirm or deny the bite, but said he was angry that Chiellini – one of the best defenders in the world and known for his physical play – had hit him in the eye during the game.
"These are things that happen on the pitch, we were both in the area, he thrust his shoulder into me," Suárez said in Spanish. "These things happen on the pitch, and we don't have to give them so much [importance]."
Looked to Be Suárez's YearSuárez, 27, should be celebrating a career year. After asking to be sold before the season, he stayed with Liverpool, won the scoring title and was named English Premier League's player of the year.
Now, he'll have to try to start rehabbing his reputation again.
Uruguay coach Óscar Tabárez and Suárez's teammates immediately defended their star.
"I want to say that if he's attacked, as it has begun in this press conference, we'll also defend him, because this is a football World Cup, not of cheap morality," said Tabarez, who said he didn't see a bite.
Suárez was suspended following biting incidents in the Netherlands in 2010 and in England in 2013. He also was suspended for racially abusing an opponent. British tabloids have teasingly called him a vampire, and social media artists have had fun manipulating his photo into images of Dracula and Hannibal Lecter.
And he was responsible for one of the most talked-about moments of the 2010 World Cup, when he purposely used his hand to prevent a Ghana goal near the end of the quarterfinals. Suárez received a red card and was banned for the next game, but Ghana missed the penalty kick and was eliminated.
Uruguay defender and captain Diego Lugano suggested Suárez was a victim of his past.
"You need to show me because I didn't see anything. Did you see it today or did you see what happened in other years?" Lugano said. "The worst of all was Chiellini's attitude ... as sportsmen leaving the field, crying and appealing against a rival."
Relieved About VictoryOn the field immediately after the match, Suárez looked relieved to have pulled out the victory in the heat of this tropical coastal city. If Uruguay had lost, it would have been knocked out of the World Cup.
After taking off his jersey, Suárez walked to a corner of the stadium, clapped and flashed his toothy smile as he waved to the thousands of Uruguay fans chanting and cheering his name.
FIFA Vice President Jim Boyle said on British television that Suarez let himself down again.
"There is no doubt Luis Suárez is a fantastic footballer but, once again, his actions have left him open to severe criticism," Boyle, who is also chairman of the FIFA referees' committee, said from his home in Northern Ireland. "FIFA must investigate the incident seriously."
Chiellini said Suárez should have been kicked out of the game.
"Not sending off Suárez [was] ridiculous," Chiellini said. "It was absolutely clear. There's even a mark."
Status Had Been in DoubtSuárez's status for the World Cup had been in doubt after he had left knee surgery just a month before it started. He missed Uruguay's 3-1 opening loss to Costa Rica, but returned with a flourish to rescue Uruguay with both goals in a 2-1 win over England.
After the victory, he claimed vengeance against some of the British media he accused of treating him badly.
This was supposed to be the World Cup where Suárez repaired his reputation. He tried to rebrand himself as a family man after the birth of his two children, a son and daughter.
Suárez said he regretted his previous biting incidents, recently telling London's Mirror newspaper that he worried what his children will think.
"That thought almost hurts me more than the actual deed. The fact, as well, that I will have to explain one day to my kids that it was me, their father," Suárez said. "That has kept me awake at night many times ... I want to be a father they can be proud of."
