Hey Everyone!
Yes, it has been some time since we have written a blog. Turns out we're not as good at it as some people out there. Hopefully we can pick up a notch or two in the coming months, however until then we would like to introduce you to a new series of blogs that we will be adding to slowly over time. Guest blogging! Our first in this series has been written by Jason who was a customer first, and has since become a friend and volunteer at the shop. So, without any further ado, take it away Jason!
I've had some pretty terrible experiences attempting to buy paintball equipment in my local area. After going to some paintball shop in Denver and feeling like I did not get the best deal possible; I started looking for another place to buy my paintball gear. Hours of searching was done on the Internet looking up other paintball shops in the Denver area. I then found a place called Hustle Paintball. They are in an odd and difficult location it seemed at first, but being right by the Flatirons crossing mall is just the icing on top of the cake. Above all else is the customer service I received on MY VERY FIRST VIST. I must have spent well over an hour with Jay talking about all the options for paintball markers, gear, and what would work best for my family's needs; I immediately decided that Hustle Paintball was our best bet. A week later I took my wife, our three kids, and a friend into Hustle and we walked out with four markers, four masks, and four air tanks.
I was so impressed with the level of customer service we received that I knew I had to be a part of this great Colorado company in some way. I asked Ethan if I could come in and volunteer my time to help with the day to day operations at Hustle Paintball, and Ethan agreed. For the past month I have done everything from the tedious job of putting together O Ring packs, helping with shipping & receiving orders, to plumbing a refrigerator. I was also used as Russell's "third hand" in the TPX First Strike round mod video.
I'm constantly learning new things about the game of paintball, paintball products, and how to tech my own markers. I think above all else what I have learned is that Hustle isn't like most other companies in our area, or even the U.S. – They are taking that extra mile to make all of their customers feel as important as they truly are to them. They are transparent, friendly, helpful people that are just looking to support their community and their families. I can say without a doubt that it has been one of the greatest all around experiences I have ever had with any company.
There you have it! Our first guest blog; we hope to have more in the future as we are really working to build a community in the paintball world. What better way to build a community than for everyone to share their voices and opinions! If you would like a guest blog featured, email us at email@example.com and let us know what is going on in YOUR paintball world. By no means does the blog need to be about us, or what you think of our company, it just so happens that the first guest blog was written in that way. Thanks for reading everyone, look out for more in the future!

Hooksett police are investigating two incidents involving students being approached by strangers at bus stops.
On Jan. 24, police received a report that a Hispanic man driving a silver car approached a girl near Dale Road around 4 p.m. The man yelled to the girl to come over, but she refused and ran away. The man reportedly drove off.
Four days later, a Hispanic man driving a silver mini-van approached a girl while she was walking home from a bus stop on Zapora Drive near Mammoth Road. The man reportedly asked the girl to get in his car. When she refused, he drove away.
Police aren't sure whether the incidents are related, but they have stepped up patrols in the area.
Anyone with information is asked to call Hooksett police at 603-624-1560.

"I have a two-cent penny!" Noah shows me what looks like a penny, but it says 2 cent euro or something or other and I tell him to save it. For when we go to Europe someday.
He scrunched his nose. Pushed his glasses up higher. Not believing we'll go. I, however, have big plans for us to go to Europe as a family. Some day.
"Well maybe I will just take my own family when I grow up..." his voice trailed off as he went to put real money in his new bank.
In my own little world I imagine that everyone has been to Europe, or will go someday. And how sad if not. But I realize that, yes I've been to Europe twice (namely Switzerland for, like, a few hours and France two different years. Two very different "me"s) but I have never been to New York City. I have never been to the Grand Canyon. (Although I feel like I have; I watched a lot of Brady Bunch.) I have never been to our country's capital. I have never been to Mexico.
But also in my own little world, I know I will go to all of those places, eventually. I've never been to Las Vegas and Jeff and I are headed there very soon. So, see.
Am I in my own little bubble? Have you never traveled? How far have you gone from home? Where is the best shopping Vegas? What should I wear k thanx.

"On Drama Queen, Edelman eschews the self-indulgent, and instead gives the listener spare, carefully colored portraits of ordinary people in simply significant lives...intelligent, story-driven, and refreshingly restrained." - Country Standard Time...more
It's hard to deconstruct Judith Edelman. While the music she plays may be rooted in simplicity, she is not and her music is all the more affecting because of the shadows lurking beneath the surface. As Dirty Linen Magazine observed, "On one level, Judith Edelman's music...is progressive bluegrass with occasional slips into Irish jigs....but lyrically, her songs and themes are a lot closer to the streets of her native New York and the dark musings of Richard Thompson..."
Manhattan-born Judith Edelman arrived at what she calls "the front porch sensibility" of her music through an unlikely route. She grew up on New York's Upper East Side, daughter of 1972 Nobel Prize-winner Gerald M. Edelman and educator/editor Maxine Morrision, the youngest of three children. Musical study was mandatory in her household and Judith opted for classical piano lessons. She followed one of her brothers, coincidentally a bluegrass-loving fiddler, to Swarthmore College. But life as a professional musician was still not in her sights.
After graduation, Judith pursued a career in Third World development in the Bay Area and eventually landed in Kenya and Zimbabwe. In Kenya, Judith contracted a serious illness that eventually brought her work there to an unexpected conclusion. She returned to San Francisco to recuperate and, inspired by a cassette tape a friend had made of groups such as The Stanley Brothers, Tim O'Brien, and The Nashville BlueGrass Band, began to study bluegrass guitar.
In the mid-90's Judith set out on the bluegrass touring circuit with bands such as Coyote Ridge and Ryestraw. Life with Ryestraw meant traveling on a shoestring and sometimes finding herself in accomodations no more elegant than a sleeping bag and tarp thrown down on the side of the road. Despite such hardships, the community of acoustic musicians held endless fascination for Judith. She found a sense of place, a grounding, in both the music and the lifestyle it inspired.
In Nashville in 1995, then-BMI executive Jody Williams introduced Judith to Grammy-award winning engineer/producer Bill VornDick who worked with her on her first two Compass releases, PERFECT WORLD (1995) and ONLY SUN (1998). Both albums received high critical praise with particularly effusive accolades coming from Billboard editor Timothy White. Judith's diverse array of musical influences impressed pundits. Glimmers of contemporary Celtic melodies, blues, jazz, country string bands and British acoustic music illuminated her interpretations of bluegrass with a unique spark.
Judith produced her latest release DRAMA QUEEN in Nashville, with the intention of creating of a very intimate and immediate sound. She describes the process as getting her complex lyrical and harmonic ideas distilled into a simple essence that does justice to the quotidian tales she likes to tell. Judith finds her songwriting to be story-driven and her characters seem to come to life from the dark corners of her imagination.
Although she's a well-seasoned touring veteran, (having appeared with such artists as Arlo Guthrie, Townes Van Zandt, Ben Harper, The Nashville Bluegrass Band, Peter Rowan, The Sam Bush Band and The Fairfield Four), Judith's looking forward to playing some of the major bluegrass festivals this year including a first-ever appearance at Telluride. She took up bouzouki just a few months ago and her quickly acquired proficiency is evident on the new album. As The Judith Edelman Band evolves and changes, Judith finds the ensemble becoming an ever more authentic reflection of the artist herself. "Everyone wants to travel the path of being as true to oneself as possible, don't they?", she muses. All listeners know is that they'll travel down any path Judith wants to take them, enthralled by a rich and delicious talent coming into her own.

NFL Draft Story Central
Tennessee Titans
2013 draft picks: 1st round (10), 2(40), 3(70, 97), 4(107), 5(142), 6(202), 7 (216, 248)
It's now Jake Locker's team. Matt Hasselbeck is no longer with the Titans. They added a good backup signal caller in Ryan Fitzpatrick. They also landed running back Shonn Greene, wide receiver Kevin Walter and tight end Delanie Walker. The Walker addition eases the blow of losing Jared Cook.The big free agent pick up was guard Andy Levitre.
Defensively, the Titans landed two good safeties in free agency in George Wilson and Bernard Pollard.
Draft Needs
1) Cornerback
With the additions Tennessee made in free agency cornerback becomes the top need in the draft. The Titans would love to have Dee Milliner slide to them with the 10th overall pick. That's likely not going to happen. There's no question they can draft a very good corner at their second round slot and even with one of their two third round picks. It's a deep year.
2) Offensive Guard
The Titans should be in position with their first pick to land one of the two top guards in the draft in Chance Warmack or Jonathan Cooper. What a pairing one of them would be with Levitre. If Tennessee waits, a quality guard will be available later on in the draft, especially if they wait and grab one in the third or fourth round.
3) Safety
The Titans need to bring in at least one safety to compliment Wilson and Pollard. Their secondary play was poor last season and addressing this position is a must for this season and their future. It's a deep year at this position and they can find value in the mid-rounds.
4) Linebacker
Tennessee would like to build some depth and get at least one linebacker, especially the inside linebacker position.
5) Defensive Line
It's not a great need other than to build depth, both on the inside and at defensive end. There's a chance that Star Lotulelei or Sharrif Floyd fall to them at No. 10. If that's the case Tennessee would have a hard time passing either one up. The same can be said for defensive end. We just have to wait and see how things play out next Thursday. Either way Tennessee will likely draft a player at each position and they could get an elite defensive lineman with that first selection.

|« Cape Mendocino's Seismic Energy
|Today in Earthquake History: Loma Prieta 1989 »
Did You Feel It?
After a hiatus of almost three months, the blogger was shaken back into action this morning by the strongest temblor to hit the Bay Area in nearly a year. At 10:09 am PST a magnitude 4.1 earthquake occured on the Calaveras Fault with its epicenter roughly six miles eastnortheast of Milpitas. Its hypocenter - the starting point of any earthquake - lay at a depth of approximately seven miles beneath the surface.
In today's interconnected world, it is very easy even for lay people to get immediate information about each tremor one feels. No, I am not talking about the emotional outbursts which hit the Twitters and Facebooks of the cyberworld ("Wow, how did I feel it shake!") after each reasonably sized shaker. I mean the reliable information, which a dedicated cadre of Bay Area earth scientists puts together with the help of mostly automated computer algorithms and which are posted on the web, as soon as they are available. My first stop while cybershopping for information about recent Bay Area earthquakes is always the map of the latest epicenters . It is published jointly by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in Menlo Park and the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory, which also hosts this blog. Color coded and sorted by size, you will easily find the latest temblors. The map is updated immediately when a new earthquake occurs and carries all quakes, which occured during the week before the latest event. Click on one of the squares and you will be directed to much more detailed information about this specific quake and its location within the tectonic framework of the Bay Area.
|Did you feel it? Map for Jan/7/2010 Milpitas Earthquake. (Click to view larger image.)
But the advances of web communication do not only benefit the public while looking for earthquake information. You can also be part of the advancement of seismology and help the researchers, by reporting on what you have felt during the shaking of an earthquake. The USGS has set-up a website under the headline "Did you feel it?", where you can access a questionaire. You will be asked a dozen or so questions about how and where you felt it, how strong you experienced the shaking and if you detected any damage in your building or in structures around you. It does not take more than five minutes, to fill out the online form. The information is handled confidentially, although you may enter your name and communication parameters, if you think, that your earthquake observations warrant more attention by the researchers.
You will ask, how such responses can advance science. Because neither the Earth nor its earthquake faults are homogeneous and simple, seismology has to deal with lots of variables. No two earthquakes are the same and the shaking induced by seismic waves can vary consideraby even over a short distance. The topography, the type of soil and the structure of the underlying base rock determine, how strong a specific location rattles during a temblor. As scientists cannot place a seismometer on every square yard of the Bay Area and because such variations cannot be computed theoretically, the researchers need observations from the field - and that means from you, the person who has felt the quake. A lot of people contribute to the website already. In the first hour after today's quake, more than 15000 had submitted their observations, including the blogger. But because a wider response is always welcome, hit the keyboard the next time you feel a quake and look for "Did you feel it?" (hra047).

The star proudly showed off the hard work she's been putting into her fitness regimen, gamely flaunting her gams after a gym workout.
And apparently, the operative word for Jess these days is ... flex!
"These are my legs during a workout today!" she wrote Saturday in an Instagram post.
"I'm proud of myself. Thx @tkrefting and @harleypasternak #nofilter," she added as she gave a shout-out to her partners in fitness, trainers Teri Ann Krefting and Harley Pasternak.
The again, the 33-year-old mom of two has been far from modest about flashing her God-given gifts – or showing off the fruits of her training at the gym.
Last November – just four months after giving birth to her second child, son Ace Knute – the budding fashion mogul displayed her svelte post-baby body in a snapshot from her Weight Watchers commercial shoot.
More recently, she took to Instagram to flash ample thigh and dècolletage in a playful pic as she attended the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

There are people trying to sweat off their New Year's resolution. There are those rehabilitating an injury. And amongst everyone in the Williamsport YMCA is Erin Erdman and Lester Loner.
Traveling from weight machines to treadmills to open activity areas, the two work as a team on a mission.
And they are on one - a mission to compete against the world's best in the Special Olympics World Games at the end of the month.
Article Photos
Lester Loner trains Erin Erdman for cross-country skiing in the Special Olympics World Games, where Erdman will compete in Seoul, South Korea in late January.
The pair leaves Jan. 25 from California for the Republic of Korea. With Loner coaching Erdman in cross-country skiing, they're trying to improve every day.
"You need to focus on what your ability is and challenge yourself," Loner said.
The two meet at least three times a week to work out at the Y - usually lasting about two hours - and Erdman trains at home, as well. They have been doing this since the end of October.
"We do a lot of tough workouts," Loner said.
The two already have competed in a world winter game, attending the 2001 event in Alaska. They also were invited this past summer to the event site in Seoul, South Korea, as a pregame try-out for the courses. She won a gold at the try-out but hopes for another.
"I'm hoping to come back with another gold," Erdman said. "But if I don't, it's nothing to worry about."
Loner said that's what is important for all athletes competing in the Special Olympics. He said athletes should focus on improving, not in what place they finish.
"All you can do is do your best," he said.
Erdman will be competing in three cross-country skiing events - the 5K, the 4x100 relay and either the 10K or 7.5K.
Although she only will compete against female athletes in Korea, Erdman has competed and defeated males, which she said always is the "No. 1" priority.
Loner stressed that competitors may have disabilities, but they still compete and are world-class athletes. Special Olympic participants compete on the same courses as the Olympics.
"When she's skiing, she's skiing on courses laid out for world-class athletes," Loner said. "There's no cutting (down rules) in the Special Olympics."
Being overseas already, will be beneficial to Erdman, she believes.
"When I go over, I think I'll be a lot more comfortable," Erdman said.
The two said the experience at a world game is like no other. Competitors use a form of sign language to communicate, Erdman said. They also trade T-shirts and pins.
So Erdman and Loner keep training. And if Erdman has things her way, she'll bring gold back with her.
"It's really exciting to represent the United States. ... I just hope I can bring home the gold for the states," Erdman said.
"When we come back, I'm sure we'll have stories to tell," she added.

text: Myeloma (MM) is an incurable blood cancer characterized by the development of devastating bone disease. We identified a protein named C/EBPβ as a critical factor, regulating growth and expansion of MM cells. In our grant we hypothesize that C/EBPβ plays a critical role in MM cell growth/survival and interacts with the bone marrow microenvironment, in turn resulting in further induction of MM and MM bone disease. The confirmation of our hypothesis will provide a novel treatment approach of simultaneously targeting the MM cancer cell and the bone resorbing cells, thereby preventing further destruction of the bone.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Personalized medicine made significant strides in 2011 with two new targeted cancer therapies, the FDA release of its companion diagnostics draft guidance, and routine clinical genotyping for some oncology applications. However, many challenges remain. An estimated 90% of currently marketed drugs are effective in only ~40% of patients annually, costing ~$350 billion for medications that don't work.
Hope may be on the horizon, though, bolstered by new successes and novel approaches in biomarker analyses. GTC's "Oncology Biomarkers" conference will feature pointed discussions about overcoming challenges to translation of biomarkers to the clinic. It will also showcase emerging technologies for assessing biomarkers, including the use of isogenic cell lines to stratify patient populations, next-generation sequencing for mutational analysis, and identification of unique biological targets.
Over the past few years there has been a clear shift in oncology from traditional cytotoxic agents to more molecularly targeted drugs, says Adam Schayowitz, Ph.D., director of business development, BioMarker Strategies.
"The challenge is how to match patient biomarkers with anticipated drug response. Often a drug is developed for a given indication, without knowing in which subset of patients it will be most effective."
Part of the bottleneck is the way tumor specimens are processed. "Typically, when biopsies are obtained, tissue is fixed using an approach that was developed in the 19th century (FFPE sections). Then static biomarker tests are performed using methods such as immunohistochemistry, DNA sequencing, and DNA amplification.
"The problem with this approach is that this tissue is dead and unable to be interrogated for true functional value. As such, what actually happens within the signal transduction network of living cells is lost."
BioMarker Strategies believes one way to bridge the chasm between biomarkers and drug response is by developing a new paradigm for testing tumor specimens.
"A better approach," Dr. Schayowitz suggests, "is to keep the cells alive long enough to obtain a functional profile that would reveal information about the signal transduction networks that predict patient response to targeted drug therapy.
"Our company has developed an ex vivo biomarker testing system called SnapPath™ to enable this approach. It is an automated live tumor cell processing platform that allows us to characterize how a patient's live tumor cells respond to pathway stimulants (e.g., growth factors) or inhibitors (targeted drugs)."
Initially, a fine-needle biopsy harvests cells from the patient's tumor. The sample is then placed in a ready-made cartridge that can be processed in the self-contained instrument. The automated processing takes less than 30 minutes and occurs in steps.
First cellular aggregates are mechanically dispersed. Nontumor material is depleted, and the purified cells are distributed in up to four chambers. While some cells are untreated and remain at baseline, others are treated with various stimulators and inhibitors (therapeutic drugs). Finally, samples are lysed and stabilized for off-platform extraction and analysis.
"The idea is to obtain functional signaling profiles of the phosphoprotein signaling networks to compare the treated and untreated malignant cells. SnapPath is amenable to analytic technology procedures that can also be performed for RNA and DNA analysis. We are currently conducting clinical studies at a growing number of cancer centers. While we are starting with advanced melanoma, the SnapPath platform is designed to process all solid tumors."
Transforming biomarker data into clinically relevant companion diagnostics requires overcoming several key challenges, says Andrew Grupe, Ph.D., senior director of pharmacogenomics discovery research, Celera, a business of Quest Diagnostics.
"One hurdle is regulatory issues that inevitably arise. These require peer guidance by collaborating with experts who can help transition biomarker assays from research to diagnostic. Second, one needs to address reimbursement issues. In order for tests to be reimbursable, there must be proven clinical utility. For example, we are working with Medco to determine whether genetic testing could impact compliance of patients on statins.
"A third key aspect for transitioning biomarkers to the clinic is the requirement point to provide solid confirmatory evidence for the utility of specific biomarkers. Also, associated clinical trials must be powered sufficiently. For example, biomarkers may be identified or confirmed in properly powered Phase II trials and then need to be tested in a Phase III trial with a prespecified hypothesis that spells out specifics of anticipated results."
According to Dr. Grupe, the use of isogenic cell lines can be a powerful means for assessing biomarkers that help stratify patient populations.
"Isogenic cell lines are engineered or selected to model human cancer genotypes, i.e., a specific patient population. These are created using homologous recombination techniques that knock-in or knock-out disease causing mutations. Studies are performed comparing these engineered lines with wild-type isogenic cell-line controls. Isogenic cell lines provide an important strategy to assess cancer treatments in the context of somatic mutations."
Since hundreds of cancer genes have now been characterized, it is possible to examine specific genetic mutations and evaluate how these interact with the rest of the cellular apparatus to modify patients' responses to specific treatments. For example, mutations in K-Ras, BRAF, and PI3K may impact response to cancer drugs.
"We've developed expression profiles of individual genes and multigene signatures that give us information related to treatment efficacy. We have identified gene responses to tamoxifen treatment for breast cancer and tested the signatures in isogenic lines. Our isogenic cell-line results demonstrated that the signature can predict results consistent with genetic background."

Equalization factors
Housing markets vary neighborhood to neighborhood, and some townships continued to experience rapidly declining home values over the past three years. That accounts for the differences in the equalization factors. If you did not receive a notice of an assessment change this year then your property's value changes based upon the equalization factor.
For example, if you owned a home worth $100,000 in Rockford Township in 2013 and there was no notice of an assessment change, then you multiply your home value by Rockford Township's equalization factor of .9413. That means your $100,000 home now be taxed at a fair market value of $94,130. Only two of the 12 townships — Winnebago and Owen townships — had flat, not negative, equalization factors. That means a home in Winnebago worth $100,000 in 2013 retains that full taxable value for 2015 collections.
Seward Township is an anomaly. The township's overall EAV increased because of an expansion at Seward Screw, but overall property sale prices declined over the past three years so Seward still had a negative equalization factor of .9714.

Source: Winnebago County Supervisor of Assessments
ROCKFORD — The Winnebago County Supervisor of Assessments office mailed tax notices last week, starting the countdown for residents to challenge the assessment that helps determine what they will pay in 2015 property taxes.
Regardless of whether you challenge your assessment, your tax bill will likely be lower next year. For the third straight year, Winnebago County is likely to collect less in property taxes in 2015. It's a small respite for property owners who for years watched their home values drop significantly without seeing much of a break on their property tax bills.
"You're telling me my tax bill is going to go down, and I'm not going to believe it until I see it," said James Novak, founder of the Concerned Citizens for Rockford watchdog group. "There are people who have lost thousands in their homes and are still being taxed right out of them."
Notices were mailed to about 15,000 people, said Tom Walsh, the county supervisor of assessments. The county has about 123,000 individual property tax parcels.
If you didn't get a notice, it means the county did not raise or lower your assessment. However, your assessment still will change based on the equalization factor of your township, which varies based on property sale prices in each township. Twelve of the 14 Winnebago County townships had a negative equalization factor. The equalization factors in Owen and Winnebago townships are 1.00, which means a home there valued at $100,000 in 2013 is worth the same in 2014, unless the property owner got a notice saying otherwise.
The state requires the use of equalization factors to make sure property values in one area aren't out of line — disproportionately higher or lower — than other areas of a county and the state.
For example, if you own a home in Rockford Township valued at $100,000 in 2013, once the equalization factor of 0.9413 is applied, your house will be taxed on a fair market value of $94,130.
Of course, if you believe your home is worth less, or in the rare cases more, than what the county believes, you now have until end of business Sept. 10 to file an assessment complaint form. You do not have to have received a tax notice to file a complaint. Last year, 6,131 property owners filed complaints. The board of review granted at least some reduction in 4,197 cases — about 68.5 percent — further lowering equalized assessed values by $36.5 million.
Page 2 of 2 - According to Walsh's office, the total value of all property in Winnebago County declined at least 3.9 percent this year. In 2013, after the county board of review finished its work, all property had an equalized assessed value of $4.46 billion. Equalized assessed value is roughly one-third of a property's fair market value. This year, assessors set the initial assessments at $4.28 billion.
This is the fifth straight year property values have declined in the county since peaking in 2009. Even as property values fell, the majority of the taxing bodies in the county continued to ask for tax increases through their property tax levies. That meant that even as values declined in 2009, 2010 and 2011, the property taxes collected by the county increased from $446.5 million in 2009 to $465.2 million by 2011.
In 2012, though, the Rockford School District lowered its tax levy by $15.7 million after a five-year temporary tax increase ran out. The Rockford School District is by far the largest property tax recipient in the county and the lower levy caused tax collections in 2013 to fall to $453.9 million.
This year's tax collections are down an additional 1 percent. The second round of tax payments are due Sept. 5.
Tax collections in 2015 could fall even more significantly because several of the Rockford School District funds — including the education fund, operations and maintenance, and special education — hit their statutory tax caps. This year the district's overall tax rate reached $7.23. Of that, $5.70 was in the funds that have hit their maximums and can't go any higher unless voters approve increases through a referendum.
What that means is that even as property values continue to fall, the district's capped rates can't increase. So the amount of money it will collect from taxpayers will decline.
The Harlem and Durand school districts also are nearing their maximum rates in capped funds.
Winnebago County Clerk Margie Mullins said: "I certainly would think tax bills will go down the way things are looking, and that's a good thing for people struggling with their bills."
Officials in Boone and Ogle counties have not yet set dates when property tax assessments will be mailed.

Middle Village was named as such because it was the middle point from Williamsburgh to Jamaica on the Williamsburgh and Jamaica Turnpike Road, which is now Metropolitan Avenue. The name also has its origin in that it was the midpoint for farmers from eastern Queens who traveled to the ferry at Newtown Creek. Another origin of the name comes about because it is an anglicization of Middleburgh, Newtown's original name.
The Middle Village Community Library serves the area bounded by Woodhaven Blvd. to the east, Eliot Ave. to the north, 69th St. to the west, and the LIRR tracks and Cooper Ave. to the south. Middle Village was founded in 1850. It grew from farmland to a prosperous community after the New York City Council announced that no further burials would be permitted on Manhattan Island after May 1, 1851. The farmland was purchased by several church groups for cemeteries. Florists, monument makers, and taverns flourished as business and industry expanded.
The area thrived until the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883 when people found it easier to travel more rapidly. By 1902, the population reached 1,300. The community continued to grow steadily. By the 1940s, much of the farmland was developed with residential homes.
Until recently, the working-class neighborhood of Middle Village was predominantly Italian. Immigrants from Latin America, Poland, Soviet Union, and Ireland have been moving in, attracted by reasonable rents and central location in New York City.
Middle Village is made up largely of private and two-family homes. There are some garden apartments, though no real large apartment buildings like those found in nearby communities like Forest Hills or Rego Park and along Woodhaven Blvd. New construction, though, has been taking place in the area with the building of a number of multiple-dwelling homes on the blocks around Metropolitan Avenue and near Juniper Valley Park, a noteworthy local attraction and neighborhood favorite location.

The Library was opened in a shoe store in 1911. Later it moved to a seed store for eight years and after that it was located in several different stores. In April 1967, the branch was re-opened in a modern rental building on Metropolitan Avenue, a location that, after a number of years of being unoccupied, re-opened as a 99 cent store. Then, in July 1990, the branch moved to a new rental location a few blocks west, at 72-31 Metropolitan Avenue. This location, the present Community Library, occupies part of the street-level floor of the condominium building at the same 72-31 Metropolitan Avenue address, with the Library's entrance located on the building's western side, while the branch's meeting room is situated on the eastern side. Due to this unique location, from its outside appearance the branch appears quite small. But the reality is that inside, the branch is really a full-sized library facility with regular adult and juvenile rooms, programming for all age levels and, in the spring of 2005, the branch was the host for two art exhibitions.

Shear Resistance of Thin Metal Plate at Non-Uniform Elevated Temperatures
Salminen, Mikko
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation

The shear resistance of thin metal plate consists of three components: shear buckling, the tension field effect and contribution of the flanges. This study considers the first two. The shear resistance of metal plate at elevated temperatures is known when temperature across the plate is constant. However, in many practical applications, such as webs of all-metal sandwich panels and slim floor beams in fire, the temperature distribution across the plate is non-uniform. This study presents the results of a FEM analysis of thin carbon steel, aluminium and stainless steel plates at different non-uniform elevated temperatures. The temperature distributions were motivated by fire tests in literature (on slim floor beam and sandwich panel) and FEM calculations based on the general heat transfer theory. Material and geometric non-linearity were applied in the model. The material models were obtained from the most novel EN standards. The imperfections for the analysis are introduced by superimposing the eigenmodes of the plates. The benchmarking cases used to validate the FEM models are resistances of the plates at uniform elevated temperatures. These results are compared to the test results available in literature. Two methods for predicting the shear buckling, post-buckling and ultimate shear resistances of thin metal plates at non-uniform elevated temperatures are proposed. Design methods are given for carbon steel, aluminium and stainless steel and comparison against the FEM and EN results is made. The proposed methods are calibrated so that they give safe results compared to the considered FEM results.

(Information in this story has been corrected.)
A Denver man is facing several charges after authorities say he led sheriff's deputies on a high-speed chase before he was found in possession of a stolen gun and marijuana.
Sharod Kindell , 22, was northbound on U.S. 85 near Platteville on Monday when a Weld County deputy saw him driving 85 mph in a 55 mph speed-limit zone, according to an arrest affidavit. When the deputy attempted to pull him over, Kindell turned and sped south on U.S. 85, reaching up to 110 mph and at one point throwing out a small bag of a white substance, the report states.
Kindell attempted to avoid a blockade of stop sticks near Fort Lupton and crashed into a ditch. He fled on foot as deputies and officers from other agencies pursued, and he swam across the South Platte River in 20-degree weather, according to a news release from the sheriff's office. He was arrested on the other side.
Deputies searched Kindell's vehicle, finding a Glock handgun that had been reported stolen by the Aurora Police Department. Deputies also found cash, several containers holding marijuana totaling more than 1 ounce, and a digital scale. They found more than $3,000 in cash on Kindell.
Kindell was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest, vehicular eluding, weapon possession by a previous offender, driving under revocation, distribution of marijuana, theft by receiving and speeding.
He is no longer listed as an inmate in the Weld County Jail.

For a book that was first published in 1936, it is natural for many among us to question the current value of the advice Dale Carnegie put together in his best-selling self-help book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People." Sure, it has sold over 15 million copies and has helped people in both their personal lives and their business endeavours—but one does wonder: do Carnegie's "old-school" words still ring true in this day and age? In this fast-paced, modern world, does the book's advice, which was written during the Depression era, have any relevance today?
Well, to find out, I borrowed an old, dog-eared paperback copy of the 320-page book from a friend and read it from start to finish. In his introduction to the book, Carnegie suggested that readers "draw a line" beside points that seemed particularly useful to them; a suggestion that I followed, albeit for a short period—because midway through the book, I realized that there were more highlighted words than the original print! And that is, perhaps, the best indication of the timeless quality of the the advice captured in this book.
The principles that Carnegie espouses in his book are simple and pithy, but there's no doubt that they are all gems—the value of his advice has only increased since they were first published. While the book has already been morphed into a newer version that's more apt for the digital age, rest assured that the original with its anecdotes and examples still make for great reading today. In fact, reading the original allows readers to make their own inferences and then re-imagine these classic formulas for use in their lives and businesses.
For instance: one of the best sections in the book is "Twelve Ways to Win People to Your Way of Thinking," which can today be read as a lesson in inbound marketing. While a command like "begin in a friendly way" may seem incredibly trivial, it is a subtlety that is easily lost when people are trying to grow their businesses. An honest greeting, a personalized email, a willingness to listen: customers love the 'small' in small business, and maintaining those one-on-one relationships can go a long way in creating a successful enterprise.
The book also seems to have been way ahead of its time. While there may have been no mention of social media in Carnegie's era, hints on how to use the same are peppered throughout his book. "Arouse in the other person an eager want" seems like a lesson in social media 101—after all, social networks like Facebook, Pinterest, etc. are really great ways to showcase your products to the world. Carnegie also said that customers should be encouraged to talk about themselves—a statement that can be applied to online conversations as well.
There are many more such tips and tricks in Carnegie's book, making it a must-read for anyone who wants to better both their personal and work lives—small business owners especially can learn a ton of useful information from this book. Even if you have already read the book, take the time to read the book again. As Carnegie himself said, "these principles can be made habitual only by a constant and vigorous campaign of review and application," and given that he has already got so many other things right, it's safe to think that he's right on this point as well.

Optical pulses are used as bits to transmit information. Controlled pulse generation is required for error-free communication and data processing. Semiconductor disk lasers (SDLs) are compact light sources that have shown potential for inexpensively generating intense but focusable ultrashort light pulses of a chosen color at gigahertz repetition rates. In this thesis, the generation of light pulses with SDLs is studied. Different methods for initiating pulsed operation are reviewed. A state-of-the-art high-power picoseconds pulse source emitting in the 1.55-μm telecommunications band is demonstrated by employing wafer fusion technology and advanced heat management in an SDL pulsed with a dilute nitride semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). A simple way to generate picosecond pulses from an SDL by feeding frequency-shifted light back to the gain element of the laser is presented. The dominant way to generate pulses from SDLs, using a SESAM to organize the phases of the lasing cavity modes, is studied in detail. Models for pulse shaping in such passively mode-locked SDLs are reviewed. Stable mode locking (ML) at a very low saturation of absorption, relevant for SDLs pursuing high pulse repetition rates, is demonstrated and qualitatively explained. The regime of harmonic ML where multiple pulses circulate in the SDL cavity is reported and investigated both experimentally and numerically. Saturation and fast recovery of the gain are identified as being responsible for the strong ordering of pulses and for the changes in pulse characteristics observed between states with different numbers of pulses in the cavity. Hysteresis in the properties of the optical output is observed and controlled by tailoring the SDL gain element design. The presented results provide a means to precisely manipulate pulse characteristics in SDLs, paving the way for flexible high-speed data transfer and processing.

Protein Sciences (PSC) and UMN Pharma have expanded their 2006 agreement, under which PSC gave UMN exclusive rights to commercialize its influenza vaccine candidates FluBlok® and PanBlok® in Japan. The amendment allows UMN to enter into collaboration agreements with Astellas Pharma and IHI for the Japanese market and extends UMN's exclusive commercialization rights to China, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan.
Astellas' role will be to support further development, licensure, and marketing of these vaccines in Japan. PSC received a portion of the up-front fee paid by Astellas and will be entitled to receive a portion of development and sales milestones as well as double-digit royalties. UMN will retain manufacturing rights and has partnered with IHI to establish a commercial production facility in Japan.
With UMN's territories expanding, PSC received an up-front payment and will be entitled to milestones upon licensure and high single-digit royalties on sales in each country. In the event that UMN sublicenses such rights, PSC will be entitled to payments similar to those under UMN's agreement with Astellas.
FluBlok is a seasonal recombinant trivalent influenza vaccine consisting of influenza hemagglutinin (HA) proteins. It is manufactured using cell culture instead of eggs, is highly purified (therefore does not require the use of thimerosal or antibiotics), and is low in endotoxins, according to PSC.
The firm filed a BLA for FluBlok with the FDA in April 2008, which was accepted in June 2008 and received Fast Track designation in July 2008. PSC anticipates that FluBlok may receive FDA approval within a few months.
PanBlok is a pandemic influenza vaccine candidate. It comprises purified recombinant hemagglutinin antigen from the H5N1 avian influenza. It is in Phase II development through a partnership with UMN Pharma in Japan.
In 2009, PSC was awarded a $34.5 million contract from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority to develop a technology for the production of recombinant influenza vaccines for pandemic preparedness. This contract could be extended up to a total of five years with a total value of approximately $147 million.

STEUBENVILLE - Going swimming is not the first thing that comes to a person's mind on a day like today.
However, despite the inclement weather that has hit the local area, swimmers from all over the Ohio Valley will be participating in the 2013 OVAC Swimming Championship Meet which is scheduled to be held today starting at 12:10 p.m. down at the Steubenville High School Natatorium.
Due to the wintry weather, the start of the meet has been pushed back an hour from the originally scheduled start time of 11:10 a.m.
Article Photos
Beaver Local's Jason Lorah
The preliminary meets for the swimming championship were held Tuesday at Brooke, at Wheeling Park and at Linsly. The top 16 swimmers in each individual event advanced to today's meet. No relay races were held at the preliminary meets.
Locally, Beaver Local, East Liverpool and Edison all participated in the preliminary meet at Brooke.
"The kids cut their times," East Liverpool coach Tim Diddle said. "We like the OVAC Meet. There is real-good competition there, and it is two weeks before our sectional meet. It gives us a basis for where we are for the season, and it shows us what we need to improve on in the last two weeks to get where we need to get to and that is getting kids to the district meet."
The championship meet is broken in to two separate divisions for boys and girls. There is a big school and a small school division for both. The races are not broken up into divisions. All qualifiers will compete in the same races.
Beaver Local and Edison are in both big school divisions, while East Liverpool is split. The Potters are in the big school division in girls, and they are in the small school division for boys.
The East Liverpool boys will be hunt in the small school division.
"Linsly and St. Clairsville are probably at the top with Steubenville being third," Diddle said. "We swam down at Big Red this year, and the results had us losing 77-75, but there was a timing error and we ended up being tied at 76. I think it is a toss-up."
The Potters have also swum against the Red Devils, but not against the Cadets.
'We normally don't," Diddle said. "We already make a couple of trips down to Wheeling. We swim at Wheeling Park, and we are at the St. Clairsville Holiday Invitational at Wheeling Jesuit. We would have to make three trips down on a school night. That's a lot."
The East Liverpool girls have not won a meet yet this season. The Potters only have eight girls on the team making it hard for them to compete with the larger schools they compete against.
"Brooke is one of the top schools in the big division," Diddle said. "It's hard to judge because we won't see University, Morgantown and Parkersburg South until we get there.
"The OVAC meet always brings good competition. It is two weeks before our sectional meet.
"Brooke is good. Wheeling Park is always tough. Then you have University, Morgantown and Parkersburg South. I think those will be the top five.
"I think it all depends on how we swim.
"Beaver Local is a big school. They have some very-good swimmers.
"Some of the bigger schools, their relay teams bring in outstanding times. They have 'A' relay teams and 'B' relay teams. They have such large numbers that they can have two very-good relay teams. I think we have some very-good relay teams, but they don't stack up against those ones."
All told, 19 local swimmers finished in the top 16 in individual events to qualify for today's meet. Six swimmers qualified in two events. Four of the six are boys, and three of the six represent the Wildcats.
On the boys' side, East Liverpool senior Matt Campbell and freshman Ian Smith both qualified in two events.
Campbell qualified in the 50 freestyle and the 100 freestyle. Campbell finished first in the 50 freestyle with a time of 24.06, and he placed 12th in the 100 freestyle with a time of 57.60.
Smith qualified in the 200 IM and in the 100 backstroke. Smith placed 12th in the 200 IM with a time of 2:36.06, and he ended up ninth in the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:09.83.
On the girls' side, Beaver Local senior Laura Keenan also qualified in two individual events. Keenan, who was named The Review's Female Swimmer of the Year in 2012, qualified in the 200 IM and the 100 breaststroke. Keenan finished sixth in the 200 IM with a time of 2:33.85, and she ended up third in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:14.76.
Back to the boys' side, seven swimmers qualified for today's meet in one event.
Four of the seven are Beavers. They are Max Littleton, Troy Kotsch, Justin Maurer and Jason Lorah. Littleton qualified in the 200 freestyle. Kotsch qualified in the 50 freestyle. Maurer qualified in the 100 freestyle. Lorah qualified in the 100 breaststroke.
All four swimmers are seniors.
Littleton finished 13th in the 200 freestyle with a time of 2:19.92. Kotsch finished 15th in the 50 freestyle with a time of 25.85. Maurer finished seventh in the 100 freestyle with a time of 55.64. Lorah placed sixth in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:11.33.
Littleton just missed out on qualifying for today's meet in two individual events. Littleton finished 17th in the 100 freestyle with a time of 1:00.27.
For the Potters, Zech Harris, Stefan Yoho and Caleb Radcliffe all qualified in individual events. Harris, who is a junior, placed 16th in the 200 IM with a time of 2:53.75. Yoho, a senior, placed 12th in the 50 freestyle with a time of 25.57. Radcliffe, who is a sophomore, finished 15th in the 100 butterfly with a time of 1:11.76.
Six local girls qualified in individual events. Four of the six are Wildcats, while two are Beavers.
Alexandra Crawford and Claire Meredith each qualified in individual events for the Beavers.
Crawford qualified in the 100 butterfly; meanwhile Meredith qualified in the 100 breaststroke. Crawford, a sophomore, finished 15th in the 100 butterfly with a time of 1:19.37. Meredith, who is a freshman, placed eighth in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:18.62.
The cost for tickets to the meet is $6 for adults and $4 for students. OVAC passes will also be accepted at the door.

One of the Marines killed last week during live fire-training exercises in Nevada has roots in Western New York.
Lance Cpl. Mason J. Vanderwork, 21, was born in Jamestown and still has relatives in the area.
Vanderwork was one of seven Marines killed Monday when a mortar shell exploded during a training exercise at the Hawthorne Army Depot, located about 100 miles southeast of Reno, Nev.
He moved out of Jamestown with his mother, Melissa, at a young age and settled in Hickory, N.C., where he graduated from St. Stephens High School, according to published reports.
Vanderwork's father, Kevin Hallberg, is from Jamestown. His grandfather, Terry Vanderwork, lives in Clymer, while an uncle, Dawayne Vanderwork, is in Lakewood.
Vanderwork joined the Marines in 2010 and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2011, where he served as a mortarman.
He was married in June and was based at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, N.C.
Vanderwork's mother told the Jamestown Post-Journal that her son loved being a Marine and loved cars. Shortly before his death, he realized a dream when he purchased a Ford Cobra.
"When he got back from Afghanistan, he finally got his Ford Cobra," his mother told the newspaper. "He said to me, 'See, I told ya, Mom,' and I said, 'I know. I'm proud of you because you've turned out to be the man that you are.' "
Besides his parents, Vanderwork is survived by his wife, Taylor, and a sister, Katelyn McMahon.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. April 1 at Bass-Smith Funeral Home, Hickory, N.C.
