LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Antisense oligonucleotides, siRNAs, miRNAs, aptamers, and other small nucleic acids are gaining prominence in the biopharmaceutical pipeline. The need for robust, accurate, and efficient ways of detecting such oligonucleotides and their metabolites in complex bodily fluids is crucially important for pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and exposure-response studies, as well as for the future of patient care.
There are several ways in which these measurements are accomplished, including by LC-MS/MS, HPLC-UV, capillary gel electrophoresis, and immunologically based approaches. Each of these methods offers certain advantages and limitations. The LC-MS/MS approach is sensitive and specific, accurate and reproducible, and is amenable to fast, high-throughput analysis. The Table summarizes some of these benefits.
An LC-MS/MS assay offers three levels of discrimination. First, samples are separated based on their mobility through the chromatography column—generally based on some combination of size, polarity, charge, and, perhaps, affinity. A typical chromatograph will indicate the amount of substance (detected by UV absorption, MS signal intensity, etc.) versus the time (or fraction number) at which it was eluted.
When a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer is used, the eluate is ionized as it enters the mass spectrometer, where it is scanned for mass/charge ratio (m/z) in Q1 based on its molecular weight and charge states. Selected ions with specific m/z from Q1 are then allowed to collide in Q2 with gas molecules, fragmenting them into pieces, which are then measured for m/z by a second detector (Q3).
On the basis of multiple specific MRM (multiple reaction monitoring) "transitions" from a compound to unique fragments, the instrument is able to discriminate among starting compounds that could not otherwise be differentiated. This is especially true for poly-ionic oligonucleotide compounds that usually have multiple unique ionic charge states in Q1 scan (Figure 1).
Scientists at Tandem Labs have developed and validated dozens of sensitive, high-throughput LC-MS/MS assays allowing us to quantify oligonucleotide molecules in bodily fluids such as urine and plasma. This tutorial presents an outline of the development of a LC-MS/MS method and an example of its use: the detection and quantification over a broad dynamic range of a model compound from human plasma.

The Stetson University women's golf team will continue its spring schedule this weekend at the Morehead State Invitational, which will be played at the Juliette Falls Golf Resort in Ocala.
The Hatters will compete against a field of 13 other teams and enters the tournament as the defending champion. Stetson won the tournament by four shots over the host team from Morehead State last spring.
"We are the defending champions at this weeks tournament," Hatters coach Floyd Kerr said. "If we continue to do the things that we are capable of, we can make a run for that title again this year. We are now at the point that, at any given time, any player can lead us through the tournament. We have realized that we depend and rely on one another."
The event this weekend will start with practice rounds on Saturday. The tournament will start on Sunday with 18 holes of competition and will continue with single rounds on both Monday and Tuesday. The course at Juliette Falls will be set for a par of 72 covering 6,113 yards.
In addition to the Hatters and host Eagles, the tournament will include teams from the University of Akron, Ohio University, Western Kentucky, Mercer, Western Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Rutgers, McNeese State, Toledo, Appalachian State, Florida Gulf Coast and Daytona State.
The Hatters will be led into the tournament by junior Ryan Ashburn, who is coming off a 13th place finish last weekend at the JMU/Eagle Landing Invitational. That performance earned her the A-Sun Player of the Week honor.
"This team is now realizing that they are pretty good, they are more relaxed but still competitive," Kerr said. "I have dubbed this team the fun bunch. We are enjoying each other as teammates which is always positive."
Last year at the Morehead State event the Hatters had six players finish in the top 25. Returning juniors Mallory Viera (13th), Sammi Smith (t-17th), Claudia Redinger (t-23rd) and Ashburn (t-25th) all helped the Hatters bring home top honors from that event.

[Name] "is the executive butcher and co-owner of the local, sustainable butcher shop" (Source)Trying to forget that "executive butcher" sounded more like the subtitle for a white-collar serial killer flick than the title of a craft-businessman, I came away very unsure about what he meant by the term "sustainable butcher shop." If I narrowly define a butcher shop as a business, then the answer might be "a sustainable butcher shop is one that earns enough to pay it's bills and stay in business." However, after digging around through some of the author's other posts -as well as posts about the author- I realized that he was probably using the word "sustainable" to refer to something other than his hopes for the longevity of his business.
Unfortunately, I couldn't discover any sort of explanation of what makes a butcher shop sustainable in any of the author's posts. But the following reference to the shop where he trained provided a clue about where I should next look
"During my apprenticeship at Fleisher's Meats—the first local, sustainable butcher shop on the East Coast—" (Emphasis mine)So off I surfed to the website of Fleischer's Meats where I could find nothing to suggest that the owners consider their butcher shop sustainable. However I did find language that indicated that they desire to sell meat that is produced via sustainable farming practices
[We sell] ONLY pastured meats from animals raised on small, local, sustainable farms
- Our farms are local. They are located within 100 miles of our Kingston shop.
- Our farms maintain closed herds. Healthy, free-roaming steer are raised on the farm and NEVER bought at market.
- Our farmers NEVER feed their animals antibiotics, growth hormones or animal-by-products; animals are raised on a strictly vegetarian diet.
- Our steer and lamb are 100% grass-fed in season and grain-finished throughout the rest of the year.
- Our farmers feed their animals grain grown on the farm or purchased from a local farm co-op.
- Our animals graze on grass that is NEVER treated with pesticides or herbicides.
I'm not at all sure if all of these characteristics add up to "sustainable meat" (or sustainable anything for that matter). But it does sound like a great model for a business that takes into account a lot of the concerns about the negative health and environmental effects of conventional agricultural foodways.
This post in Serious Eats by another Fleisher's acolyte is a little more helpful as it attempts to explain why the shop is a sustainable butcher shop
What does it mean for a butcher shop [like Fleischer's] to be sustainable? Sustainable meat carries with it the economic concerns of sourcing from local farmers, as well the environmental advantages of raising grass-fed animals on well-maintained pastures without the use of antibiotics or hormones. Even pausing to contemplate the word itself—sustain —reminds us that these policies and practices are done for the sake of long-term well being and functionality.Implicit in this definition are a lot of assumptions about what sort of farming and animal husbandry practices promise the fewest negative impacts on humans and natural systems. And it's by no means clear to me that finishing cattle on grass is intrinsically healthier or more sustainable (as in the least likely to collapse) than the status quo. However, now it seems possible to venture a definition of a "sustainable butcher shop" as a shop that only sells meat that comes from animals that have been raised in a manner that minimizes negative impacts on environmental and human health. Such a definition does not make the butcher shop sustainable per se, but it does make it a place where one might buy meat that has been raised according to allegedly sustainable farming practices.
My own definition of sustainability is probably too esoteric to be of much use in the pop-cultural dialectic around how food (or anything) should be produced because it is based on some of the implications of the Laws of Thermodynamics: No system can be sustained forever, however length of operation can be maximized by minimizing energy inputs and energy loss relative to energy outputs.

Thursday, October 10, 2013
The Fort Dorchester-Summerville game Friday should be a slugfest.
The Patriots (4-2) host Summerville (4-2) at 7:30 p.m. Not only do the teams have identical records, the losses for both came to the same opponents, Top 10 teams Goose Creek (6-0) and Stratford (6-0).
"We are two evenly-matched teams so I expect the yearly war we usually have," Fort Dorchester coach Steve LaPrad said. "I'm sure it will come down to one big play. Our teams do different things, but we are both good at what we do."
Offensively the thing Fort Dorchester does best is rushing the football. The Patriots typically have a rusher surpass the 100-yard benchmark each game and during some games this year they have had multiple 100-yard rushers. Senior running backs Nahshon Cyrus and Matt Murray have both had good starts this season.
While the Fort relies more on the run, junior quarterback Kobe Garrett is a threat whether he is looking to pick up yards on the ground or pass. Garrett has rushed for more than 100 yards in three games this year and passed for more than 100 in two games.
In the Patriots season opener, Fort Dorchester rolled off nearly 700 yards of offense.
"Like us, Fort Dorchester could have won one of those games they lost," Summerville coach John McKissick said. "Their quarterback and that No. 25 (Cyrus) are really quick and they run a lot of misdirection and finesse plays and those have given us trouble in the past. This game is a toss up. It will probably come down to who makes the fewest mistakes."
The thing the Green Wave does best, offensively, is move the ball through the air.
Sophomore QB Sawyer Bridges has completed 69 passes this season for 854 yards and seven touchdowns. He has several capable receivers and likes to spread his passes around.
Donnell Bryan currently leads the Summerville receivers with 12 receptions for 191 yards but receivers William Luck and Johnston McCurry, as well as tight end Sean Smith, also have more than 150 receiving yards.
Both teams also have a strong defense this season.
Summerville junior Kawuan Cox managed to keep pressure on Stratford's QB all night last Friday and finished the game with three sacks. When teams try to run away from him, junior Matt Powell has done a good job on the other edge of the line.
Up the middle isn't much easier against Summerville. Once a running back does break through to Summerville's second level they have a very solid Green Wave linebacking corps to deal with. Mac McCurry, the team's leading tackler, anchors the group but in the last few games other linebackers have also performed well. At Stratford, both Codie Soto and Chad Wood intercepted a pass.
The Patriots' defensive line is anchored by D-1 prospect Eurndraus Bryant (6-2, 340) who has exceptional quickness for his size. Myles White (6-5, 230) and Eugene March (6-3, 265) are also returning starters on the Patriot defensive line.
The Fort's second level is also formidable. Linebackers Kevyne Flores, David Govan, Ryan Chaya and Daniel Finley all have ample starting experience.
This season Summerville is averaging 30.8 points per game while giving up an average of only 17.6 points. Fort Dorchester is averaging 34.5 points per game while yielding 22.8 points on average.
History is on Summerville's side as the Green Wave leads the series 20-2. The Patriots beat Summerville in 2000 and 2001. Including meetings in the playoffs, Summerville has earned 14 straight victories over the Patriots.
However, the series has featured some very tight games. The teams have met four times this decade with Summerville winning 28-21, 17-3, 28-27 and 17-10. Last year's 17-10 Green Wave victory wasn't secured until the closing minutes when Summerville mounted an 88-yard scoring drive.
LaPrad suggests that this year fans plan to arrive early.
"It will probably be standing room only," he said. "There should be a great atmosphere and it should be a great game."

Stokes County -- Three people have been charged for animal cruelty in Stokes County.
Jose Martinez Lopez and Jonathan Mason Evans, both of Sandy Ridge were arrested after an investigation by the Stokes Co. Sheriff's Office and the Stokes Co. Animal Control Dept.
The Humane Society received complaints on Sept. 6 that a dog was seen being dragged behind a vehicle.
Mona Triplett with Animal Control reported finding a dead dog when she arrived on the scene. An animal hospital determined the dog's cause of death was strangulation and blunt force trauma.
The county said the dog's injuries appear to be consistent with what witnesses told them.

Several hurt after SUV crashes into building in Millcreek (Updated: 12:52 p.m.)
Several people were taken to the hospital to be checked out after a Ford Explorer plowed through the front of a medical building in Millcreek Township late this morning.
Millcreek police said the Ford was reportedly involved in an accident on West 26th Street when it entered the parking lot of Presque Isle Family Medicine, 3750 W. 26th St., and accelerated before smashing through the front of the building. People inside the Ford and inside the office were injured, but not seriously, police said.
The crash was the second involving a building in Millcreek Township today.
A man was taken into police custody this morning after a Jeep hit a house in Millcreek Township.
Millcreek police said the driver of the 2009 Jeep Liberty, James M. Strong, no age or address available, suffered minor injuries when the vehicle hit a house at 4412 West Ridge Road at about 5 a.m. The house was occupied, but no one inside was injured.
Police said Strong was driving the Jeep north on Patio Drive when he failed to stop at the intersection of West Ridge Road and continued north across the road, hitting the house.
Strong was found to be under the influence and was taken into custody for driving under the influence, police said.

Family picks for the week: Sandy Lake Amusement Park, Texas Rangers opening weekend, a child's look at the Holocaust and more
I found a wide range of activities for families this week. McKinney Repertory Theatre's Young Actors Guild has taken on the sobering challenge of playing kids in the Holocaust in Michael Slade's And A Child Shall Lead (with Dallas Holocaust survivor Max Glauben, who was all of a 11 when the Nazis rose to power, coming to speak before one of the performances. It's a thoughtful choice for Passover week).
Plus, Sandy Lake Amusement Park offers low cost fun for families, including pony rides and miniature golf. Kids with special needs can enjoy screenings of Mirror, Mirror just for them at Studio Movie Grill and select AMC Theatres. And Texas Rangers' opening weekend and butterfly explorations at the Museum of Nature & Science in my Family Fun Guide Picks here.

I really like S/S but not this program, it seems disjointed to me. I thought V/T should have won.

Charleston Photography Workshops has announced an inaugural slate of sessions for 2014 with the promise of hands-on instruction from renowned photographers in one of America's treasured travel destinations.
Richard Ellis, a former international correspondent and founder of the agency that became Getty Images News Photos, created Charleston Photography Workshops because he believes photographers of all abilities learn best working side by side with the experts. "Whether you are just getting serious about photography or already have a successful career, you will benefit from what these veterans will share with you," Ellis says. "You can't get this kind of enrichment from books, videos or online."
Drawing on his friends and contacts in the industry, Ellis has assembled a roster of nearly two dozen top-flight instructors. The list includes Pulitzer Prize winner Deanne Fitzmaurice, lighting expert Tony Corbell, three-time Travel Photographer of the Year Bob Krist and Canon Explorer of Light Rick Sammon, author of 36 books and 11 photo apps. Lauded wedding photographers David A. Williams and Storey Wilkins will teach a workshop together in June.
Except for an autumn journey to Mexico with Krist and Ellis for the Day of the Dead festival, the 2014 workshops will be based out of Ellis' studio in downtown Charleston. He expects the stunning visuals of the South Carolina Lowcountry and the region's reputation for hospitality to help draw in participants.
Ellis settled in Mount Pleasant nine years ago after a celebrated photojournalism career with Reuters and Getty Images, covering world conflicts and the White House. He now shoots a variety of travel, editorial and commercial assignments. With his daughter, Gillian, he also has established a wedding and portrait studio in Charleston on Spring Street that benefits from the area's thriving bridal industry.
In launching Charleston Photography Workshops, Ellis drew inspiration from other workshops that have gained strong followings in Maine, New Mexico and Florida. He saw the possibility to create something similar here in the South, but with its own sense of place and unique learning opportunities. He has already signed up notable photographers who do not usually teach in this format.
The 2014 schedule kicks off in mid-April and currently offers 14 in-depth workshops as well as seven one-day workshops that will likely attract more local participants. The slate covers a variety of topics with sessions on weddings, lighting, documentary photography and more. Two travel sessions will capitalize on the Lowcountry scenery, and in June, there's an introduction by Ellis to wet plate tintype photography, which harkens back to the craft's earliest days.
Each workshop will be kept to 12 participants or less to ensure personal interaction and feedback from instructors. Early sign-up is encouraged, given the limited number of spots available.
Learn more and register online at www.charlestonphotoworkshops.com. Or contact founder Richard Ellis directly at 843-814-6001, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Pfafftown, NC - The man who failed to show in court to answer to charges of embezzling more than $100,000 from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center has been arrested in Nevada.
Thursday, Tisdale was supposed to appear in court to enter a plea for a felony charge. That same day police found a body in his Pfafftown home. He shares the home with his partner, Robert Tisdale.
The visit by police was prompted by Robert's mother who called authorities concerned because she hadn't spoken to her son in several days.
Stanley says the body found in the home was so decomposed it could not be identified and the cause or manner of death could not be determined. Stanley said they couldn't even determine the sex of the deceased.
The body has been taken to Raleigh for examination. Stanley hopes to learn more the first of next week for the medical examiner.
Meanwhile, Stanley is clear to note that Stephen is not a suspect and his arrest in Nevada is not related to their ongoing death investigation.
Stephen will have his first court appearance in Nevada Tuesday. That hearing will determine will determine his extradition status.
Stanley says his office is still trying to make contact with Robert.

It's a jungle out there – especially for Katy Perry!
In the new music video for her single "Roar," Perry's plane crashes in a jungle and she's forced to cuddle up to the locals … and by locals we mean spiders, monkeys and elephants!
While she's horrified by the creepy crawly tarantulas that climb on her shoulders at the beginning of the video, Perry adjusts well to life in the wild. In fact, by the end of her journey, she's growling in the face of a tiger and painting the toenails of an elephant – who, she revealed on Twitter, was her favorite costar.
"Suzy the elephant [was my favorite] cause she wouldn't stop eating everything!" she wrote.
No word yet on how her cat Kitty Purry – who made an appearance in the "Roar" lyric video last month – feels about her four-legged competition.

Gun control not the way to stop violence

Editor: Is gun control the answer to the violence taking place in America today? Before we can answer that question properly, we must answer this one....
The current president and administration are leading the way of this violent mindset of the masses today. Look at how corrupt the leaders are. What do you expect the country to do when they see the top lawmakers and president can just ignore laws and nothing is done about it??

19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Women's Right to Vote
Passed by Congress June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment guarantees all American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle; victory took decades of agitation and protest. Beginning in the mid-19th century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change of the Constitution. Few early supporters lived to see final victory in 1920.

An early morning police chase ended in a crash and the arrest of a 36-year-old man found on the roof of a house.
Modesto police were called to take a stolen car report around 5:30 a.m. when officers saw the stolen vehicle on Tulley Road and Standiford Avenue.
Police chased the car, which eventually crashed, and the driver ran from the scene.
Police established a perimeter and residents in the 1400 block of Pepperwood Drive told officers that a man was on the roof of their house.
Police eventually arrested Daniel Sherman on various charges.
The investigation is ongoing.

Toyota's board voted
to halt production at the Nummi plant in Fremont, California, a
facility built in 1984 that Toyota shared with General Motors.
GM ended the partnership several months ago, which immediately
started rumors of a possible plant closure sometime in 2010.
The Nummi plant produces the Toyota Corolla, Matrix, and Tacoma
along with the Pontiac Vibe (which is being killed along with the
Pontiac brand).
United Auto Workers union members have entered
negotiations with New United Motor Manufacturing officials,
attempting to see if there is any way Toyota will keep the factory
open longer. The Nummi facility served as Toyota's first
manufacturing foray in the United States, with Nummi employees saying
it was them who helped shape Toyota's success.
Toyota, which
hasn't had to close a plant outside Japan, was rumored to announce
the plant's closure last spring. Nummi currently employs 4,600
employees, and if Toyota halts production, then the plant's closure
will put all of those employees out of work. Furthermore,
supports indicate the ripple effect from Nummi's closure could impact
up to 50,000 people.
Toyota is expected to reduce worldwide
capacity from 1 million vehicles down to 700,000, with the Nummi
closure expected to help Toyota reach that goal.
quote: Finally, as for product quality, from almost every metric available, the Japanese auto makers have the highest rating, with Honda and Toyota products consistently at the top. Just look at the unbiased Consumer Reports ratings from this and previous years. Yes, the "Big Three" are much better than they were, particularly with certain models, with the entire scale compressing, but they still lag overall.

The Michigan State University Turfgrass Information Center has the largest on-line library of information on turfgrass and turfgrass research in the U.S. Unfortunately they require a subscription to access many of their articles and publications.
There is a lot of on-going research relating to turf grass. Turf grass is a huge industry in North America and the increased popularity of golf has a resulted in a corresponding interest in turf grass. Unfortunately there is substantially less research being conducted about how to use less water on turf grass. As water becomes more scarce across the country, this will change.

5 Secret Criminal Uses for Stuff They Sell in Gas Stations
#2. Whipped Cream Chargers
Hey, do you want to get high like your parents did in the '70s? Find a convenience store and pick up a pack of whipped cream chargers, more popularly known as whip-its! You've likely seen these contraptions around at the occasional gas station and wondered why a box of devices used to make whipped cream cans work have any place among the racks of Cheetos and Snickers and such. Simple -- those little cartridges are filled with nitrous oxide. You might recognize that as the "laughing gas" you're sometimes given during particularly gnarly dental procedures. Doing it in large quantities will get you high as shit, and that's why possessing it in large quantities is something only dentists and a few other select professionals are allowed to do.
Including porn professionals, apparently.
To get around that, it's sold in tiny quantities as a culinary tool, with most users opting to buy the party-in-a-bottle by the box or case. There are sites online that will sell you 240 whipped cream cartridges for less than $100. You can't freely buy a giant tank of nitrous oxide, but you can totally buy enough nitrous to fill one without much hassle. As this story will attest, you can do so at your neighborhood convenience store, or even a market.
If you think there's no harm in the ready availability of nitrous oxide, well, you're probably right. The high lasts for like 15 seconds, and constantly popping open those little cartridges can be a total hassle. It takes a special kind of drug addict to put up with that shit with any kind of frequency. As luck would have it, Steve-O of MTV's Jackass fame was exactly that kind of addict.
He had a well-documented (by way of a documentary he filmed himself) run-in with nitrous oxide addiction that ended with his cast mates staging an intervention to get him into rehab. That's right, the cast of Jackass was concerned that he might be living dangerously. That's like the Ku Klux Klan coming to your home and calling you out for being too racist.
#1. Chore Boy
Chore Boy, a distant competitor of companies like Brillo and Spic 'n Span, is one of those also-ran products that, when you see it, you're always surprised it still exists. Kind of like seeing someone drinking a can of Tab cola. If it comes to pass that you do see Chore Boy on the shelves of some strange store someday, make note of your surroundings. Chances are that you're in a shitty neighborhood.
Much like the Phillies Blunt company stays afloat because their awful machine-rolled cigars are a favorite of marijuana smokers, Chore Boy has endured because it's a vital component in smoking crack cocaine.
These are not. Do not fill them with crack. You will die.
Remember those glass-tube roses that kicked off this article? They're generally used in conjunction with Chore Boy. The copper mesh acts as a screen onto which the concentrated cocaine can be dissolved and vaporized (according to a friend of mine). If you do a quick Google search for Chore Boy and crack, you'll find countless message board posts from people inquiring about or sharing the ideal means with which to use it (specifically) in the act of smoking. For ethical reasons, most of which involve me not wanting to Google the phrase "how to smoke crack" on my work computer, I will not link to them here.
San Diego Reader
This is not what Chore Great-Grandfather had in mind when he started the company.
It's being able to easily tear it into tiny pieces that makes it such an attractive option over its more durable counterparts that are made of steel or aluminum. It's the fact that you need to heat it to absurdly high temperatures before you use it or run the risk of death by inhalation of copper fumes that makes it just one of the many crazy reasons you shouldn't smoke crack. All of the other reasons are Flavor Flav.
This week on Stars Without Their Viking Helmets and Clocks ...
So, when it comes time to clean your kitchen, always remember: Other cleaning products might last longer or do a better job, but nothing helps you ruin your life quite like Chore Boy.

The Awendaw Green Barn Jams are an outdoor, year-round Wednesday night original music showcase that get folks off their couch to enjoy and connect with others and support original music and the artist that make it.
It is held in Awendaw, 15 miles north of Charleston under grand oaks by an old barn that evokes the Lowcountry in a uniquely hyper-local bohemian atmosphere on the grounds of the Sewee Outpost.
It runs from 6 to 10 p.m. every Wednesday night of the year and features a diverse assembly of music from around the globe.
There is a $5 donation at the door. Try a wood fired pizza, the grill or fresh local oysters in season and drink your own libations responsibly. All ages are welcome, pets on a leash and it is always a family friendly occasion.

After stepping inside for a closer look, she realized what she was seeing wasn't so adorable after all.
"There were sick puppies, dirty cages and one Labrador retriever had this cut on his leg that he was pressing against the wire of the cage," says Howard, 53, who now lives in Cohasset, Mass.
"I knew something had to be done," she says.
So, one year later she founded the Companion Animal Protection Society, which focuses on investigation of abuse and has helped rescue about one hundred dogs from inhumane puppy mills, breeders and pet shops all over the nation.
She admits it's tough to see all these abused animals.
"When I started doing this, I used to cry," she says, "but I've learned to become a little detached. If not, I wouldn't be able to do my job."
Horrific FindingsShe started out small, first enlisting the help of a kennel worker to go undercover at a Docktor Pet Center store in Atlanta.
"He'd get there at six in the morning and find puppies dead in the freezer," she says.
Once they gathered the gruesome footage, Howard contacted producers at 20/20, and in 1990 an investigative report aired, exposing the horrors of animal cruelty.
"Docktor Pet Centers went bankrupt in February of 1993," she says, "due to our protesting and all of the publicity."
Howard's group also partners with rescue groups and humane societies to help find homes for the neglected dogs.
Clare Smith, 71, adopted Marina, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, from the Paws and Claws Humane Society in Rochester, Minn., in 1999 after Howard's group rescued her from a local pet store.
Her "knees and shallow hip sockets were causing her walking problems," Smith says. "She was confined to a cage and reportedly could only walk on three legs."
Two knee surgeries and 14 years later, Marina is still alive – and flourishing.
"We are blessed to have Marina," says Smith, of Rochester, Minn. "We need many Deborahs to stop these money-mongers who abuse these innocent ones."
Howard knows this joy firsthand.
Among her own five rescue pets is Beatrice, a 10-year-old basset hound who had pneumonia and glaucoma and was rescued from a South Dakota pet store in 2003.
"She looked so pathetic," says Howard, who once owned her own public relations agency but now works with CAPS full time. "She just nudged a place in my heart," says Howard.
Simon Lopez
"Most are coming from puppy mills," says Howard.
For model and rescue dog owner Kiley Wirtz Jennings, it's a message she's happy to spread.
"Deborah's work has informed me," she says, "and I just wanted to help shed light in some way."
Though the job can be emotionally draining at times, Howard says it's all worth it.
"You can just see the absolute joy that the dogs feel when they've been liberated," she says. "The know they've been rescued."

Samsung Galaxy S III with Android 4.2.1 demonstration video surfaces
0. phoneArena 24 Feb 2013, 06:23 posted on
Samsung has just unveiled the Galaxy Note 8.0 to directly compete with the iPad mini but that device is only running on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. hateftotti (Posts: 198; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Can't wait to have it on my Note II.
That will be great to have widgets on lock screen ;)
13. easymomo (Posts: 91; Member since: 04 Jul 2012)
Knowing Samsung, they may be tempted to wait the launch of the Galaxy S4 before seeding this update.
Please Samsung, we (note II users) are waiting for this update so don't take too long before seeding.
15. JGuinan007 (Posts: 684; Member since: 19 May 2011)
Good luck Samsung left the OG Note on ICS til just a week ago it got JB and that was only for international version carrier versions will probly never get it. I think you can expect the same update experience on the Note II as well and I hope you have International version.
17. ama3654 (Posts: 295; Member since: 27 Nov 2012)
You should be grateful you are getting updates, you think its just easy to write software just like that let alone a complete rom, even galaxy s2 got 4.1.2.
By the way he forgot to show Daydream, its really cool when you are docking or charging the phone
27. StalkinUrMom (Posts: 111; Member since: 16 Apr 2012)
I was genuinely surprised when the S2 got 4.1
That's more than I can say for my HTC Sensation which was released around the same time...Go Samsung.
2. MrJerry (Posts: 403; Member since: 05 Oct 2012)
3. hateftotti (Posts: 198; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Although even it was on 4.0.4 S3,it is still a cool and useful feature ;)
4. spideyhead256 (Posts: 148; Member since: 05 Nov 2012)
hope the update comes soon for my note 2..as much as i've been following my twitter feed,the update is officially coming sometime in Q2 for the s3 and note 2.

What about Photo Sphere?
10. draconic1991 (Posts: 195; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
There's no photo sphere....atleast in the leaked ROM from which the video was made :(
Bt reports suggested that samsung is developing something called orb which is an advanced version of photo sphere...according to some roumours even the galaxy s4 will get it after release via an update....so hopefully s3 will get it too...hopefully..

I bet that guy wanna to kill that fly so bad.
7. walie (Posts: 1; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
Me too I Can't wait to have it on my Note II
8. Tsoliades (Posts: 228; Member since: 22 Dec 2012)
I hope it comes to my Galaxy SII after the Android 4.1 update, or else I might just have to flash a ROM.

I agree.

Idiot!, go and sort out your one screen bunch of huge icons on IOS before coming to comment on advanced OS'es here
21. MistB (Posts: 581; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
Is one surprised by your IOS love, fyi the IPhone does have the odd hiccup and lag if too many programmes are open, specifically between web browsers/heavy handed gaming. Not the smooth experience it's cracked up to be, I pretty much use everything from BB-IOS and every OS has it's faults. In fact, ironically I don't experience such hiccups on my S3 mini, it's a zippy little thing despite being only dual core.
34. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Good Morning Bot :)
18. ama3654 (Posts: 295; Member since: 27 Nov 2012)
whatever you may say, touchwiz is the most feature rich OS out there, practical and makes people life just a little bit more easier, I wonder where you seen those lags, every OS has a bit of hiccup when you boot or start at first so just STFU and swallow your jealousy
20. MistB (Posts: 581; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
It's not official final ROM, whatever your using won't be as effective or as intuitive as what Samsung use, rest assured
12. catt4u (Posts: 144; Member since: 09 Jul 2011)
I'm sure he got the rom from the XDA developers site.

Right, and being cheap has what to do with a software update exactly? Sir, you are entitled to your opinion but when you provoke a flame war which has nothing in relation to what's being written in an article it's called trolling. Hey, I don't like VW for their flimsy build quality either despite being the parent company of Audi/Lambo/Bentley/Bugatti, I prefer what what their rivals make in Munich and Stuttgart but I don't go trolling the VW boards in German Car Forum because a particular component such as the door handle or lines of the car looks naff in comparison to the competition in my humble opinion and just because i said so doesn't make it anymore right, it's down to the numbers that truly count. It's how it performs that's also key with support, being 'cheap' and 'plastic' hasn't put people off from making the S3 the top selling android phone, I would imagine that most of these folks aren't that thick skinned and value the service which no other OEM from the android camp (Bar Google) can provide. Like I said, I ain't having a go at you for distaste for Samsung, you are entitled to say what you want as long as you aren't here to flame others.

Apple sells well too but that doesn't mean I'm going to buy it because others do. I'm an individual not a leming
26. StalkinUrMom (Posts: 111; Member since: 16 Apr 2012)
I used to be like you. Then I gave into the hype and got the S3 while it was free with a contract renewal. Best phone I've ever used, better than my One S (still stuck on ICS, damn it), better than my iPhone 4, better than my brother's Razr HD, and just as responsive and fluid as my girlfriend's HTC Titan. And there are so many accessories for it it's crazy. I have an aluminum bumper and a carbon fiber battery door on mine, it certainly does not look cheap and flimsy like when I got it.

Late-summer storms moved through Central Oregon Thursday with wind, heavy rain and more lightning, though it appeared the rain was cutting the immediate reports of new fires, officials said.
A handful of smoke reports were reported by Thursday evening to the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center in Prineville, and three small blazes were tackled by initial attack crews.
One fire was the north end of the Three Sisters Wilderness, another southwest of Crane Prairie Reservoir and a third near Lake Billy Chinook State Airport.
On NewsChannel 21's Facebook page, Eric Davenport said "big lightning" in southwest Redmond knocked out power for a bit, while Kate McCormick said thunder was rolling into La Pine
A National Weather Service spotter northwest of Prineville reported 25-30 mph winds were causing blowing dust and cutting visibility to a half-mile to a mile Thursday afternoon.
There also were reports of a mudslide that ODOT was called in to clean up on U.S. Highway 395 south of John Day.
The National Weather Service in Pendleton was keeping a red flag warning in effect until 11 a.m. Friday for a threat of more storms producing abundant lightning.
NewsChannel 21's Travis Knudsen said to expect few "hit-or-miss" thunderstorms Friday, but it will be dry otherwise. Isolated thunderstorms are possible over the weekend, so he urged those heading to the Airshow of the Cascades at Madras Airport to just keep an eye on the skies.
Storms bring rain, wind but few wildfires

Sobriety will be checked on more than just roadways this weekend.
As part of a fifth annual campaign to crack down on drunken boating and deter alcohol abuse, officers working under Operation Dry Water will patrol waters Friday through Sunday.
The nationwide effort conducted the weekend before July 4 will focus locally on Raystown Lake, said Patrol Supervisor Sgt. Craig Garman of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission's law enforcement bureau.

Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission Waterways Conservation Officer Anthony Quarracino checks the flotation devices aboard the boat of Matthew Swartzell of Mechanicsburg during a basic safety and compliance inspection on Raystown Lake.
As the largest body of water contained within Pennsylvania's borders and its largest manmade lake, Raystown is a popular destination, which also produces a number of water-related casualties each year.
"Unfortunately, along with the deaths, we have alcohol," Garman said.
Melissa Bean, park ranger with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Raystown Lake, said historical data dating back to 1974 shows there have been 44 water-related fatalities or one to two per year.
There were two each in 2010 and 2011. Last year, however, there were four - the worst year to date, she said.
On July 29, 2012, three men drowned in two separate incidents. On Aug. 18, 2012, a Huntingdon-area teenager dove off a cliff into the lake and didn't resurface. His body was recovered by divers three days later.
It is only known for certain that alcohol or drugs was a factor in about 19 percent of the 44 deaths. However, Bean said alcohol contributes to a number of nonfatal boat collisions, most of which could have been prevented had a sober driver been at the helm.
Intoxication isn't the only thing putting boaters in danger; so is failure to wear a life jacket.
U.S. Coast Guard statistics show that last year 71 percent of boating-accident victims died from drowning, and 84 percent of those who drowned weren't wearing life jackets.
Bean said 90 percent of Raystown fatalities could have been prevented with life vests, and urging people to wear them, she said, "That's our No. 1 message."
Bean said she realizes that drinking is part of many recreational activities and "A lot of times when you're out on a boat ... the drinking goes hand-in-hand."
But alcohol's effect on the body is increased out on the water - something she said many don't take into account.
The sun's dehydrating heat, boat engine noise and vibrations and bobbing water all make a person more fatigued and more affected when drinking.
"Your ability to react to a situation is going to be drastically diminished," she said.
When it comes to boating accidents, Bean said young adult males are at a five times higher risk than others, mostly because of overconfidence in boating skills masking lack of experience.
It's about more than not knowing how to operate a boat, Garman said. It's also difficult to catch someone operating a boat while drunk, because there aren't straight lines in the water like there are on roads.
Officers can't tell if someone is driving a boat erratically or weaving, he said.
And without an open-container restriction, drinking while operating a boat does not give officers probable cause to stop and conduct sobriety tests.
"They don't think of [boating] in the same line as driving a motor vehicle," Garman said. "They're 'recreating.'"
But a boating under the influence conviction carries the same penalties and jail time as a driving under the influence charge, minus a driver's license suspension, and the 0.08 percent blood alcohol content limit is the same.
Garman said while people may be more brazen with drinking on the water, patrolmen can stop boats for safety inspections at any time and, if they suspect someone is impaired, can conduct a sobriety test and issue charges if necessary.
U.S. Coast Guard boating statistics show that roughly one-fifth of all boating fatalities were the result of alcohol in 2007, but since "Operation Dry Water" began in 2009, that number has dropped to 17 percent as of last year.
According to a campaign press release, last year officers removed 337 BUI boat operators and issued 14,514 safety citations and warnings.
"We've led the state for BUI arrests" for the past several years, Garman said, and all he's asking is that people coming out to celebrate and spend a weekend on the lake stay safe.
"We're not telling people not to go out there and have a good time," he said, but no one is immune from tragedy.
Last week's drowning early in the boating and fishing season should come as a reminder that life can change at any time, Garman said.
Police said John Walls, 74, of Duncansville was fishing June 20 on his boat with a friend when he lost his balance and fell overboard.
In his obituary, family members told others to "Please remember to wear a life vest!"
That's all police are asking, Garman said.
"Just be smart."

Canada needs some new cliches.
It's time to scrap "a penny for your thoughts" and "a penny saved is a penny earned."
The Canadian penny is headed toward extinction.
Monday, the Royal Canadian Mint began withdrawing pennies from circulation, no longer distributing them to businesses and banks.
Many businesses followed suit, rounding their prices up or down to the nearest nickel. That means that a $3.88 or $3.89 cash purchase would be rounded up to $3.90, while $3.87 or $3.86 would become $3.85.
In a brief tour up and down Garrison Road in Fort Erie , Ont., on Monday, it was hard to find anyone disputing the efforts to phase out the penny in the Land of the Maple Leaf.
Heck, it's not as if Canada is lacking in coins. The nation still has its $1 and $2 coins, the "loonies" and "toonies."
"It's not going to be a major problem," Ron Annett, 63, a retired Fort Erie Water Department worker, said just outside a Tim Hortons. "I think carrying coins is a pain in the butt. It's the same with the loonies and toonies. They just weigh your pockets down."
Annett didn't even have to deal with the rounded-penny factor at Tim Hortons. He used a debit card, and the new policy doesn't apply to credit or debit purchases.
Tim Hortons, like many businesses, already has responded to the new government policy, by rounding off all cash transactions.
For example, a person using a $5 bill to pay for a breakfast that cost $3.87, including tax, got a receipt stating "Change Due: $1.13" and "Rounded Change Due: $1.15."
"It's sensible, because it costs 1.6 cents to make a penny, so that costs taxpayers," said Don Olsen, a retired aircraft inspector from Fort Erie. "I'm glad they're getting rid of it. I've seen a lot of changes in my life. That's a sensible one."
"It just makes your purse heavier," his wife, Lynn, said of the pennies.
Ten people interviewed laughed about the rounding up and down.
"You win some, you lose some," said Taylor Sherk, 27, a Canadian utility worker.
"It balances out in the end," co-worker Tom Trasmundi added.
Not all businesses reacted immediately by rounding off prices.
"It's going to take a while before our machines are reconfigured – in a couple of months, I believe – so we're going to be using pennies for a while," one Walmart worker explained.
Up the street, Chan Kim, owner of EJ's Variety, wasn't clear about the new policies, although his store already was rounding up or down.
"We want to get rid of pennies," he said. "I have no idea what the law is. If the customers pay in pennies, do I have to accept them?"
Some customers didn't even know about the rounding after their purchases.
Mark McKinnon, 45, bought a tin of chewing tobacco, for $15.81, paid with a $20 bill and got $4.20 in change.
"Wow," he said sarcastically. "I'm ecstatic."
Some businesses are trying to turn the excess pocket weight into a good cause.
Walmart, for example, had jars accepting pennies for the Community Outreach Program Erie (COPE), a food drive aiming to collect one million pennies, or $10,000.
On the American side, Walden Galleria on Monday began a monthlong Penny Drop, set up at Customer Service in the upper level near Macy's. That money will go to a Canadian charity suggested by customers.
Two Canadians walking in the mall seemed to sum up a nation's view of dumping the penny.
"I think it's a good idea," said Chris Ogden, 29, of Oshawa, Ont. "I think they're just kind of a nuisance."
"I've never really thought about the penny," added his girlfriend, Emily Easa. "When I get pennies, they go into a big jar. They're going to go toward a vacation."
Ogden puts all his coins, even loonies and toonies, into coin rolls.
"I use 'em to go to Las Vegas," he said.

Poll: Should open source projects adopt community codes of conduct?
Is a code of conduct vital to the success of an open source community?
Should open source communities adopt codes of conduct?
Late last month, the Debian project voted to adopt a community code of conduct, a set of guidelines for acceptable participation in its official communication channels. Members agreed to abide by the following principles:
- Be respectful
- Assume good faith
- Be collaborative
- Try to be concise
- Be open
The project also cemented a formal process for altering the code: only a vote from the Debian general assembly can amend the community's code of conduct.
In ratifying this general resolution, Debian joins a host of high-profile open source projects—like Fedora, Ubuntu, GNOME, and OpenStack—that have adopted community codes of conduct.
Open source communities' codes of conduct differ, but all tend to embody a core collection of values: respect, consideration, collaboration, concision, transparency, patience, deference to electoral processes, and the importance of seeking assistance when in need.
Certainly these values express something central to the open source way, but do they go without saying? Should all open source projects formalize community codes of conduct?
6 Comments
Formalizing code of conduct is not enough to ensure the rules are respected. I found that "lead by example" is far more effective. Pointing to the code of contact itself when somebody does not show the right behavior can be seen as a disrepectful act in itself. Dialog is more effective.
No, it's not necessary. There are many successful projects that do without such rules. I agree with Arjen Balfoort, it is far more effective (in general!) to lead by example.
Also, while I think we should be respectful to people, we need to be brutal to code, because people are depending on having good quality in the code they run. It is important to distinguish between respecting people and being brutal to code.
Too much bureaucracy kills every project, however, a simple code of conduct sets basic rules and if everyone act according the rules, open source projects can develop in a god direction. Of course, you always may find someone, who violates the codex, independently how complex or how simple the codex may be. We should be all interested in good developments and therefore, follow the basic rules.
Code of conduct is not the same as bureaucracy, or activism by license restrictions. As long as open source licenses continue to be non-partisan and do not dictate how the software is to be used, code of conduct for a community helps guide its mission and represents organizational values. A professionally acting organization behind a software title encourages its adoption.
How do the projects which have adopted a code of conduct enforce the code?
Steve Stites
More crap that no one wants to read just like Terms of Use, EULAs, licenses and so on. As Anna Brakoniecka said, bureaucracy kills every project or at least the fun.
I couldn't care less about the sugar coating a code of conduct provides. People can still be mean with or without a code of conduct. Lead by example is a better idea. By the way, based on what I've seen, I like the way Linus Torvalds does it even if some people consider him abrasive.

Apologies for the delay in getting an update posted. We've had several little projects we're trying to complete and we are getting numerous volunteer applications, which we have been going through and contacting interested individuals who are interested in helping us out in grounds.
Late winter brings with it a lot of planting and transplanting projects and our major one so far this year has been the relocation of an established specimen of Edgeworthia crysantha from the McVay courtyard to a new location just north of the Miller Library.
Like its close relative, Daphne, Edgeworthia resents being moved around and the fact that it's also recovering from the hard freeze of last November with just a few buds remaining to open, we did our best to get the largest rootball possible and replanted it immediately into its new location. Cross your fingers!
With more severe winter cold predicted to come our way again, we are keeping our eye out on a few plants that could suffer. Obviously, Edgeworthia is on that list along with the two large Osmanthus we have in the Fragrance Garden. Our poor Daphne bholua doesn't deserve another hit; this poor plant hasn't flowered for us in three winters.
Then there are the Azara microphylla, which are just starting to flower that could be hit with cold and the remaining buds zapped and our massive Cordyline australis on the south side of Issacson Hall is already a sorry looking site. So, basically, anything spectacularly fragrant is being monitored. Hehe
Our first accessioned plant for 2011 has been planted here at CUH in a large Chinese container donated by a special donor that once held a beautiful cascading Japanese maple, but when it became too troublesome to keep up the watering and the foliage would crisp up in the summer sun, we had to replace it.
The maple has moved into a new home in the Woodland Garden over at Washington Park Arboretum and, for awhile, the pot was empty until it was decided that we would seek out a specimen of Poncirus (Citrus) trifoliata 'Flying Dragon', a hardy citrus, to fill that void. Bloom River Nursery down in Oregon was able to provide us with a standardized specimen that's been trained for ten years. It now graces the pot with its exquisite and somewhat sinister looking branches. It is highly unusual and will definitely be a conversation piece. Now we have to determine an under-planting so it doesn't look so bare below.
Spring is definitely in the air when the sun decides to show itself and bulbs begin to bulge out of the ground and bloom their little heads of. Our annual show of yellow, cheerful, daffodils are just days away.
But for a real show, the 2011 Northwest Flower and Garden Show is finally here and UWBG has a most unusual booth this year thanks to our friends at Agua Verde Café and Paddle Club.
Rey Lopez generously donated a kayak for our display with one end cut off so it would stand and then it was planted up to make it look as if it had traveled to both sides of UWBG. Native flora and accessioned plants represented the Arboretum while more natives , including red-twig dogwoods and cattails complete with a "blue-tube" represent Foster Island and UBNA, while more exotic garden plants represented CUH.
February is flying by so quickly with many activities taking place. The next few weeks should be spectacular (barring any serious cold snaps that will do certain plans in).
