Predicting our future while forgetting our past
I remember distinctly the moment when the potential of the internet for journalists became clear. I was standing in the newsroom in RTE circa 1996 as a colleague scoped a newly-acquired internet-enabled computer.
He checked out the search engine du jour of the time (altavista) and turned round to me with an excited look on his face.

Throughput, scalability, and transferability—when it comes to method development for protein and peptide sample prep, these factors can challenge the success of even the most skilled practitioners. An intuitive and reliable automation platform, working in concert with a suite of designed-for-purpose software tools, can be the key to breaking free of the limitations of entrenched manual methods.
Ideally, an automated method development platform should feature the functionality of typical wet-bench chemistry, with all the benefits of automation. Recent technological advances have brought new levels of reproducibility, reliability, and usability into scientists' hands, offering the potential to transform their ability to carry out quantitative proteomics with unprecedented analytical precision.
Assay developers know that keeping up with constantly changing technology—new software packages, new instrumentation, new search algorithms—takes a great deal of time and energy. If an automation platform requires users to become robotics experts as well as proteomics experts, that means less time and effort are available for developing methods.
A good method development platform lets users focus their expertise where it is needed most—on finding a sample prep regime that works for them. Rapid access to essential protocols and system utilities is crucial for helping users transition between workflows, while ensuring optimum system performance is maintained.
In traditional automation, procedures are developed and then ported over and locked down in the automation environment. This approach can significantly complicate development, validation, and eventual scale-up of methods to meet throughput demands.
In order to truly develop assays in the automation space, users need direct control over such steps as denaturation, alkylation, incubation, and protease addition for an in-solution protein digestion protocol without having to reprogram the automation function to accommodate adding, omitting, or adjusting individual steps. No matter what combination of steps is required, the platform should allow developers to easily and confidently automate their own validated chemistry.
Processing thousands of samples per week is of little use if the tasks aren't carried out with sufficient precision to allow quantitative downstream analysis. Load capacity, sample recovery, and fractionation performance all impact LC/MS data quality. Automation can deliver the low intra-day and inter-day variability needed to ensure that your sample prep is as precise as all other analytics in your workflow.

Insecticides with the effective active ingredient, Deltamethrin, are among the most popular and widely used insecticide products in the world. Both individual home owners and professional pest control companies finding reliable results with Deltramethrin products. This active ingredient is known as a Pyrethroid, a synthetic version of the natural pest control ingredient derived from Chrysanthemum flowers, Pyrethrins.
Deltamethrin is effective against insects via ingestion and direct contact. Perfect as a dust to apply to wall voids, or openings that are inhabited by certain insects, such as Carpenter Bees, Carpenter Ants, Wasp and Bees. This has the ability to withstand high moisture levels and is ideal for outdoor application, where there is a chance that the product will be in a damp or humid area.
Target pests include cockroaches, ant species, ticks, spiders and bed bugs. The insecticides come in concentrates, granules, dusts and sprays. Pyrethroids are successful means for pest control by interfering with an insects normal nervous systems operations. Deltamethrin is a type II Pyrethroid, classified by a longer lasting inhibition on portions of the nervous system. Products like Delta Dust, D-Force, Suspend SC and Defense all provide this active ingredient.

Canalside will host some 800 events and activities this summer in a program designed to draw 800,000 visitors and spawn more economic activity along the city's burgeoning waterfront.
The events, announced Friday by the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp., will include concerts, festivals, dance, theater and poetry performances, outdoor exercise classes and family activities.
Some highlights of the mammoth series, which the harbor corporation pulled off with a budget of just $200,000, include the Pride Festival on June 2, a pop-up playground June 15, a July 4 celebration, Squeaky Wheel's Outdoor Animation Festival on Aug. 21 and the Buffalo Irish Festival from Aug. 23 to 25.
The organization also announced a new website, canalsidebuffalo.com which lists all the planned activities.
At 10 a.m. today, the canal corporation will host a preview of the summer's events, featuring several dozen presentations from the likes of MusicalFare Theatre, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Young Audiences of Western New York and the Rince na Tiarna School of Irish Dance. Food trucks will be on hand in a preview of the "Canalside Food Fight" series of competitions among local mobile food vendors.
The fair-weather activity at Canalside has grown significantly since summertime programming began in 2009 with a handful of events. After Friday's news conference in the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park, Tom Dee, president of the canal corporation, said that Canalside's vastly improved reputation has helped make it into a lucrative destination for cultural groups.
"In our infancy, we had nobody coming down here. Nobody would come down, nobody knew where we were, because everybody said there was nothing to do. So we had to pay people to come down and entertain," he said. "Now people are knocking on our door, saying, 'We'll do it for free. We want to get our name out there.' The Irish Center, the Philharmonic, the Pride Festival – we gave them money last year and the year before. This year, no money. And they're saying they're thrilled to come down."
Mayor Byron W. Brown praised Dee and his agency for its approach to developing the waterfront, which has shifted in the past five years from silver-bullet solutions like a Bass Pro shop to incremental, piecemeal projects designed to reach a critical mass.
"It's a philosophy I support, because by promoting smaller events, it creates more excitement, more momentum, continuous activity," Brown said after Friday's news conference. "There is always something to see and do down here, and I think that really helps to set the table for the larger investments."
Brown added that small-scale public investments in events by the canal corporation were crucial in attracting private money from Benderson Development's renovation of the former Donovan Building, Ellicott Development's Carlo project near Templeton Landing, and the Buffalo Sabres' $172 million HarborCenter on the Webster Block.
State Sen. Mark Grisanti joined the chorus of praise Friday for the series of summer activities.
"When you listen to the radio and you talk to people, there are still a lot of naysayers out there that are saying that nothing's happening in Buffalo, that Buffalo's dying," he said. "But let me tell you, those have got to be individuals who have not been down to the waterfront."
Today's Canalside Food Fight will get the season off to a lively start and fill a void for downtown visitors who love to eat.
The city's licensed food trucks, barred from the Canalside area in most times, will be allowed to park and sell food this afternoon for what will be a season-long cooking competition, said organizer Matt Carlucci.
From noon to 4 p.m. today,seven trucks will be serving paying customers, Carlucci said.

The rescue organization that worked with the county to save a burned, starved horse two years ago is questioning Berkeley County Animal Controls efforts in an active starvation case but officials contend that the county is doing its part in the case.
LEARN Horse Rescue founder and director Elizabeth Steed said that the organization was made aware of an emaciated horse near Highway 176 in Berkeley County three months ago. At the time, Steed followed up with the county.
She said she was told the animal was seen by a large animal veterinarian and was being monitored.
But now, three months later and the horse still thin, Steed said she suspects the horse isnt getting adequate care.
Animal control is obviously not doing their job, she said.
County Planning Director Eric Greenway who oversees animal control in the county confirmed that no veterinarian has been consulted on the case as of May 30. However, Greenway said animal control is working with the owner to get the horse healthy. He said the horse has been making progress, and the agency wont seize the horse unless its condition deteriorates.
The horse is responding favorably to the plan, Greenway said.
Berkeley County Supervisor Dan Davis said the countys role is different from the roles rescue groups play.
The animal rights groups dont fully understand what our role is in animal control, Davis said. They want us to get more into animal rescue, which is what they do.
According to the countys ordinances, violations include failure to provide veterinary care and adequate food. The ordinance also allows seizure of animals for violations. However, all action is at the discretion of animal control officers.
Steed said its the countys job to ensure proper care of animals food, shelter and water.
Steed and LEARN were involved in the 2012 rescue of a burned, starved horse and another thin horse. Whisper and Traveler soon made national headlines as country singing legend Willie Nelson initially offered to adopt the horses.
While the deal with Nelson eventually fell through, the horses were successfully rehabilitated on LEARNs dime.
According to Steed, problems with Berkeley County Animal Control were evident during that case, too. She said officers refused to seize Whisper, even though he had burns and maggots in his festering wounds. The owner eventually released the horses into LEARNs care, she said. Now shes concerned that the same officers are providing incorrect nutrition information in the recent case.
In three months of proper nutrition, horses will not still look that way if there is nothing wrong with them, Steed said.
Steed has successfully rescued and rehabilitated more than 300 emaciated horses as the head of one of the Lowcountrys equine rescues. Theres certainly a breakdown here. Im not asking them to be a rescue they need to enforce their statute. Theres probable cause. The horse is not gaining weight and you got a vet saying its not under his care.
Steed said she has called Greenway to offer LEARNs help on educating the owner but has not received a phone call back. She said her ultimate goal isnt to seize the horse, but to get the horse healthy and the owner educated. They (animal control) need to do their job and use the resources they have available, especially free resources, Steed said.
Greenway said that he has worked well with LEARN in the past, but has not worked with LEARN on this recent case because the horse is improving.

ATTICA - Maybe he got the idea from how people had to drive in the blustery conditions along U.S. 224, or maybe he thought it was best way to stop a team averaging 77 points a game.
Either way, Seneca East coach Joe Beddingfield wanted to make Old Fort slow down.
The strategy seemed to work for one half as the Tigers hung with the unbeaten Stockaders through 16 minutes. However, Old Fort began to pick things up in the third quarter, and pulled away for a 50-37 win.
"We tried to control the tempo a little bit," Beddingfield said. "Early on, we wanted five or six passes before we ran something. We knew they came in averaging 76 points a game, and we're not really a full-court team. Our best asset is trying to get the ball inside. I thought by watching them play a little bit here and there, we might frustrate some of their shooters a little bit.
"Second half, we tried to keep the same tempo until about the fourth quarter and then it just got away from us a little bit. I thought our shooting inside, if we made some shots maybe the momentum goes a different way."
For Old Fort coach Eric Hoover, whose team improved to 6-0, 3-0 Midland Athletic League, said it may be something his team has to get used to as the season wears on.

"I knew they would slow it down a little bit. I didn't know to that extent," he said. "Not too surprised. We'll see it throughout the year. We've been scoring a lot of points and if people don't think they have a chance of scoring with us, then they might try it."
"We play high tempo; our game's high tempo," Stockader senior Dalton Perry added. "So them slowing it down, we got confused and stuff, but we came out with a win."
For a good portion of the game, Perry was locked in a matchup of two of the MAL's top post players, going against Seneca East's Ben Hahler. Each recorded double-doubles on the night, but Perry's 17 points and 12 rebounds was slightly better then Hahler's 13 points and 12 rebounds.
"We're friends. We know each other," Perry said. "He's a big kid, I'm a big kid, but in the post I'm a little undersized, though. But it was hard, we both battled.
"They'd run zone, then they'd run man. Against the man, I'm a quicker post, so I'd just use my quickness against bigger posts. Then if they double down on me, our shooters usually hit shots down."
"Dalton, he's really good," Hoover said. "He's got great footwork down there. He's got all kinds of moves. He knows how to finish around the basket even with bigger guys and use his body to get an open shot, and he can always get shots off down there. He's really good around the basket finishing. I'll take him against any big guy."
The was very little separation between the two teams in the opening quarter. After Seneca East opened the game with a basket, Old Fort's Cole Davidson was fouled attempting a 3-point shot. He hit all three free throws to put his team ahead. The two squads traded baskets for the rest of the quarter, until Old Fort held a 7-6 lead at the first stop.
Perry put up four points in the second and brother Hunter scored seven of his 15 to represent the only Stockader points of the quarter. But Old Fort's defense was strong enough to allow the Stockaders to increase their lead at the half, 18-13
When the teams came back out of the locker room, Old Fort began to hit the gas, more than doubling its point total.
Dalton Perry scored eight and Cole Davidson knocked down a pair of 3-pointers as the Stockaders tallied 19 in the frame to increase their lead to 37-23.
The Stockaders were able to pull Seneca East out of its slow down game. After shooting 6 of 12 in the first half, the Tigers shot 4 of 17 in the third quarter.
"We lost shooters," Beddingfield said. "Davidson ... we lost him at a critical moment. I'm not sure if he shot the ball really well as a whole, but at a critical moment, that really sparked their offense. They kind of feed of their tempo. They're a pretty good team if they come in and you let them run and gun."
Hoover said being able to put some separation between the teams was key to getting them game more into an Old Fort style.
"We built the lead over 10 points. If it would've been four to eight points or whatever, they would've stayed in it," Hoover said. "Once we got the lead above 10, and it got later in the game, they had to try to start scoring more and they had to come out and try to full-court press a little bit."
Hahler led a charge for Seneca East in the fourth quarter. After falling behind by as much as 17 points, the Tigers got as close as 11, but too many turnovers and missed shots inside proved to be their undoing.
"I would've liked to get the ball inside a little more than we did," Beddingfield said. "I thought we had the game plan in terms of that, but we missed a lot of layups and we turned the ball over a little bit too much."
Davidson tallied 10 points to join both Perrys as Stockaders scoring in double figures. For Seneca East (3-3, 1-2), Nate Phillips scored 10 to back up Hahler.

Almost the first words from President Obama during his first press conference since his election victory two weeks ago emphasized not just readiness, but an unseemly eagerness to sit down with Republicans and work out a "Grand Bargain" to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff." This impending "cliff," you will recall, is a self-induced "crisis" conceived and agreed to by both Democrats and Republicans last year.
Just as he did last year, without being prompted or asked, the president placed possible cuts to Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare "on the table." Now, after a clear and resounding victory at the polls, the president has declared that his top priority in this second term will be "deficit reduction that includes entitlement changes." There's that magic word, again, the one that Republicans love to use when describing Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid – "entitlements." These are the three main government backed programs which benefit poor, working and middle class people. These are programs to which people have contributed from their own, individual and personal labors for most of their working lives, particularly Social Security. The president was not asked about cutting the bloated military and overall defense budget…and he did not deign to mention that possibility on his own.
In response to the president's apparent willingness to once again "go along to get along," on Thursday Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) held a meeting in Washington with seniors, the disabled, labor and other grassroots groups determined to shield Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid from the president's and the Republicans' grand bargaining process.
In a fiery speech to the group (see attached video), Sanders said the following:
"There are fair ways to reduce the $1 trillion federal deficit and $16 trillion national debt, but balancing the budget on the backs of the elderly, the sick, the children and the poor is not among them. We are here today to send a very loud and very clear message to the leadership in the House, in the Senate and in the White House: Do not cut Social Security; do not cut Medicare, do not cut Medicaid and do not provide more tax breaks to the top 2 percent who are doing phenomenally well and in many cases have never had it so good."
Also attending that meeting was Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), who pointed out that the election "presented the American people with a choice between two very different visions for our economy. And, in that election, the American people spoke very clearly in support of an economic policy that puts the middle class first. When it comes to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, the American people told us to protect and strengthen these programs, not cut them." Harkin is chairman of the Senate Health, Education, and Labor & Pensions Committee.
Not to be outdone, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) chimed in: "Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are pillars of economic fairness and stability for Americans. Although it is important to reduce our deficit, we should not do so on the backs of our nation's seniors, disabled citizens, and those who are already struggling to stay afloat in this economy. I will fight any efforts to cut benefits under these programs."
The most salient point about Social Security is that that program has not contributed a single penny to the national deficit. On the contrary, Social Security enjoys a $2.7 trillion surplus and can pay all benefits in full for the next 21 years. No eligible recipient of Social Security benefits has been short-changed or denied since the inception of the program in 1935.
Yet, Republicans never cease in trying to figure out a way to cut annual cost-of-living adjustments in Social Security for seniors, disabled veterans and military retirees. They seem to salivate like Pavlov's dogs at the very mention of "Social Security." They yearn to "privatize" the program so that they and their Wall Street buddies can risk that gi-normous surplus by gambling it all on the stock market or other private "investment" vehicles. Their latest gambit is to switch the manner of calculating cost-of-living adjustments from the rate of inflation to consumer prices, the so-called Consumer Price Index. Such a change, of course, would result in drastic benefit cuts to all Social Security recipients.
As for Medicare and Medicaid benefits, what is the logic behind cutting these when upwards of 50 million Americans have no health insurance whatever and millions more are grossly under-insured? And to top it all off, Congressional Republicans (and an apparently complicit president) are set to raise the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67. The Social Security retirement benefit age has already been raised on a graduated basis.
So, again, the Senators Sanders' and Harkin's point and question must be addressed. Is this what we voted for? Is this a Grand Bargain or a Grand Betrayal?

excellent ride
by violet from Tampa, Florida | June 6, 2013
Considering the block was cracked the first 15 months I drove it! Yes, it was winter when I purchased and the trouble didn't show until a couple months in. My mechanic who had checked it and pronounced it impeccable and unblemished at the purchase now saw the engine block as irreparably cracked. But I d not want to abandon this baby. I put water in it every day, got a new fan, a little later new thermostat, new radiator when the unclog stuff I put in messed her up and still she drove - but not over 60. I just love the was she tells me which direction I am headed NW or S or WE and this gee whiz helps just so much! I adore how when going into a parking garage she lights up and tells me: 'Headlamps are suggested.' Somehow that is like having a personal valet right there in the car. It is like driving with champagne - which of course I wouldn't do. I would not consider having a vehicle this intelligent put out for scrap metal and so have had some guys put in a new engine. There are associated difficulties with their work - it caused electrical trouble which took out the cruise control, but I am on that (although I still need help) as why would I abandon this piece of art?

Luxury Hot Rod!!
by bubrave10 from Mpls, MN | March 29, 2011
Ive owned a pearl white 2000 STS for about a year and have driven it year round in Minnesota. Has every possible luxury whistle and bell you could want. Combined with 300hp in a front wheel drive car, i couldnt ask for anything more as a all season car living in the the cold of Minnesota. This car was over 48K new and trust me when i tell you that you wont find a better value for the money . My STS gives me luxury, performance and is a great car in the winter. I would highly recomment the Caddy STS especially in white or crimson red as they are the best looking!

2000 Cadillac SLS
by Danny-The-I from South Dakota | January 31, 2011
Have owned a number of STS Cadillacs. This was my first SLS. You lose a little horsepower and no moonroof, but the interior/exterior is beautiful. I did put STS rims on it which completely makes the car. Rare pearl white with white leather interior. My other Cadillacs have been boys. This one is a girl. Very finicky. Power steering pump and AC compressor have already gone out on it. Doesn't like cold weather at all. Othwerwise, one great car.

Most car for the money out there
by Cadillac from Chicago, IL | May 22, 2009
If you buy a 2000 STS you get the most for your money. When you drive this car on the highway you will feel like a king! The seats are so comfortable and the ride is very smooth, I almost fell asleep driving the thing home from work. Whats there not to like 300hp and comfort. Benz and BMW cost too much and too much money if they break. My buddy ownes a benz (96 S500 nice car) and payed over $4,000 for a new power steering pump and a brake job. They put some new whipers on his benz for only $75 more. I was on the fence but after hearing this story I will stick with Cadillac.

Great Sprots Sedan
by AXP-MAN from New Jersey | March 10, 2007
What can be said about the Seville SLS? It goes from 0-60 in 7 seconds, it gets great gas milage for a V8. 20 around town and 26 on the highway. It handles the road like a dream and has every option a person could want inluding a few you might not know you wanted. Other then burning a quart of oil every 300 miles, this car is very dependable, sporty, and luxurious. Whenever people get into my car, they say, wow this is a nice car. If I let them drive it, they really like it. If you are looking for a sporty sedan that can also double as a nice luxry car, then you should take a lok at this car. I have owned my car for over 4 years and I have put in a new battery, redone the brakes, replaced the tires with sport handeling tires, and replaced the front suspension. Overall, the car runs as good now as it did when I got it 4 years ago. The motor does not require a tune up until 100,000 miles. Service at the dealership is expensive, but if you know a good mechanic, anyone can work on this car.

Piaget shares its expertise
One of our company's priorities remains the creation of new talent.
Les Ecoles de la rue du Louvre
In order to help generations of future talent, we sponsor the graduating classes of an exceptional jewellery school: Ecoles de la rue du Louvre in Paris.
July 2013: After four years of intense training, the graduates of the Piaget class now hold a Higher Jewellery Diploma. This qualification recognises their full mastery of all jewellery-making and related graphic and computer graphic techniques.
April 2013: The students of the 3rd Piaget class of the BJOP schools took a trip to Switzerland last April. During their time there, the students were able to discover the many professions of the jewellery and watch industry by touring the production and design workshops of the Piaget manufacturing site.
To distinguish the most creative students and those who best master the art of jewellery making, four Piaget prizes were awarded during a ceremony held at the Piaget Time Gallery.
November 2011: As sponsor of the class of 2009, Piaget helped organise the "Jazz / BJOP evening." The evening showcased students' incredible work in a theme extremely dear to Piaget: Jazz. The beautiful creations that were displayed, revealed the path taken by future jewellers.
The Centre de formation professionnelle des Arts Appliqués de Genève (CFPAA)
Piaget supports the Centre de formation professionnelle des Arts Appliqués de Genève, funding an annual Design Prize and Jewellery Prize for the best students of the graduating class.
June 2013: This year, the students of the CFPAA were asked to take inspiration from the world of high fashion in relation with a gala celebration. The winner was awarded the two Piaget prizes honouring their creative and qualitative achievement.
Centre Interrégional de Formation des Montagnes Neuchâteloises (CIFOM)
For several years, the Côte-aux-Fées Piaget manufacturing site has been collaborating with the Interregional Training Centre of the Neuchâtel Area Mountains (CIFOM), a school for future watchmakers. In addition to its annual participation in the graduation ceremony and its financial support, Piaget offers two apprenticeships to the students of the CIFOM each year. The manufacturing plant also welcomes students for an encounter with the Piaget watchmakers and a tour of the workshops.
The Creative Academy
We collaborate with the Creative Academy, an international design school in Milan, offering young designers specific applied arts courses in the areas of jewellery, watchmaking and accessories.
Watchmakers of Switzerland Training and Educational Program
We provide annual financing for the Watchmakers of Switzerland Training and Educational Program (WOSTEP).
Institute of Swiss Watchmaking (IOSW)
The ever-increasing demand for luxury watches translates into a growing demand for qualified craftsmen and women to service these products. To help meet this demand, the Institute of Swiss Watchmaking was founded in 2008 by Richemont to provide dedicated, career-minded individuals with the education and training to become a part of this exciting profession.
Three schools based in Dallas (NAIOSW - North American Institute of Swiss Watchmaking), Hong-Kong (HKIOSW - Hong Kong Institute of Swiss Watchmaking) and Shanghai (CNIOSW – China Institute of Swiss Watchmaning) were opened between 2009 and 2011. These schools prepare students for the internationally recognised WOSTEP certification, a symbol of "Swiss made" excellence in this field.
Piaget's partnership with the IOSW is a valuable complement to its training policy. The goal is to develop and maintain, on a worldwide basis, a combination of
know-how and expertise in the field of high-end watchmaking that will enable the brand to offer its customers high-quality local service.
"Futurs en tous genres" days
Piaget supports the "Futur en tous genres" days, welcoming each year the children of employees who wish to discover the many professional fields of jewellery and watchmaking. This discovery allows them to broaden their horizons and enables them to think independently about their possible future profession.

The Summerville Family YMCA will host their 8th Annual Oyster Shindig on Friday from 6-10 p.m. at The Pine Forest Club.
"It really is lots of fun for everyone that attends and there is never a dull moment. All the kids have fun there and it is very family-oriented," said Summerville YMCA Marketing Director Ashley Webb. "You're also helping to support people in your community."
Proceeds from the event will directly benefit the YMCA Annual Support Campaign. The campaign "scholarships people in" to the YMCA who cannot afford memberships. Each situation is dependent on the individual and no one is turned down according to Webb.
Last year the YMCA raised $80,000 for the campaign and is aiming for $96,300 this year. They are currently 71 percent to their goal.
Along with steamed oysters, pizza, Chick-Fil-A, Sticky Fingers and various desserts will be served. The Lowcountry's own East Coast Party Band will perform as well.
"The Oyster Shindig is for the community and to help the community," said Webb." We want them to know we're here for them."
Tickets can be purchased until Friday at 1 p.m. at the Downtown Wellness or The Ponds locations.
The cost is $30 for adults, $15 for children 5-12 and free for children four and under. They can also be purchased at the door for $35 each. All tickets can be redeemed for one free round of golf courtest of Pine Forest County Club.

"We'll 'talk' more later," Aiken, 29, writes on his Web site's message board. "but, suffice it to say, for the first time in recent memory, I am speechless. I'm so proud to know and love all of you."
He adds, "My family is so much larger than Parker, Jaymes, mom, Brett, etc. It extends to each of you. And I couldn't be more blessed."
Aiken posted the message Tuesday night after a performance of Broadway's Monty Python's Spamalot, where he has resumed the role of Sir Robin. Fans flocked to the stage door after the show to see the star, but Aiken ducked out a different exit.
Gay groups applauded Aiken on coming out, while fan reaction across the Web has been one of both surprise but support.
As of midday Wednesday, the thread on clayonline.com had more than 2,200 messages, with many saying, "I will always love and support him no matter what. His sexual orientation makes no difference to me."
Some Mixed ReactionsStill, a few "Claymates" are taking the news hard. "I'm really struggling with this one," writes one fan on claymaniacs.com. A poster on clayaiken.com writes, "I'm only concerned that for those like me who will still support him no matter what may have some difficulty reconciling that he wasn't straight forward to begin with."
From the Clay Board, strollynn63 writes, "This is a gut wrenching day for The ClayNation. Somebody wake me up, I hope it's a dream," while NJ4ClayA admits, "I still love to hear him sing but I also feel he has now become like a Michael Jackson and it's a bit too weird!"
Aiken told PEOPLE he understands some fans may not react well. "[I want] to let people know that I've never intended to lie to anybody at all," he said. "But if they leave, I don't want them to leave hating me."

While microarray technology is broadening its applications in genomics and proteomics, the technique remains a vibrant contributor in the area of gene expression. Much of the overall developmental effort is directed at making microarrays more high throughput in both genome coverage and in sample numbers.
Victor Levenson, Ph.D., associate professor at Rush University Medical Centre, will review available platforms for microarray-based methylation detection and discuss their advantages and limitations for biomarker development at Select Biosciences' "Microarray World Congress" to be held this month.
Dr. Levenson will also discuss correlative biomarkers for early diagnosis, prediction of outcome, and response to drugs. "There are different technologies for tumor detection based on tumor-specific mutations, but it is rather difficult to find a rare mutation, especially if we do not know what genes are mutated," he says. "Instead, we examine tumor-specific abnormalities in DNA methylation."
Reaching the tumor tissue to extract its DNA can be difficult. "But tumor DNA actually floats in blood, which is a treasure trove for biomarker development," Dr. Levenson adds. "How tumor DNA makes its way into blood is only partially understood, but we can use it to develop markers for tumor detection. Importantly, the whole genome of the tumor is in blood, so multiple genes can be analyzed in the same sample for an extremely accurate result. That is why we look for tumor-specific patterns of methylation rather than a change in methylation of a single gene."
The need to determine specific patterns requires analysis of multiple genes in DNA from the same sample, and that brings us to microarrays and how they work, notes Dr. Levenson. "We use microarrays to screen for differences in a multitude of genes, and select the most informative. Once that is done, only informative genes will be necessary to detect the disease, and microarrays will no longer be needed for a clinical test. Once we select the most informative genes—those that give us the best diagnosis—we will test 5–10 genes per disease by a simple PCR."
To select these informative genes, however, microarrays are essential. "The Illumina GoldenGate platform can test more than 800 genes, but depends on bisulfite modification, so each analysis requires a lot of DNA," Dr. Levenson continues.
"An alternative platform developed by Roche NimbleGen can analyze up to 28,000 promoters in each sample, but detection of methylation is based on immunoprecipitation, so the starting amount of DNA again creates the bottleneck. In our lab, we use a custom-made microarray with 56 genes for the proof-of-principle studies. Once this phase is over, biomarker production runs will employ a 12,000 gene microarray. Upstream processing involves digestion of isolated DNA with a methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme, so the whole test requires only 0.3–0.5 ng of DNA."
There are two major ways to prepare a microarray—you can spot synthetic oligos on a special support (usually glass slides) or you can synthesize the oligo directly on the support. "These spotted microarrays allow directional attachment of oligos," notes Dr. Levenson. "For example, arrays produced for us by Microarrays have oligos with linkers at the 5-prime end, so the oligo is fixed to the glass support in one predetermined orientation." Not all spotted arrays are like that—if unmodified DNA is simply placed on support it will attach randomly, which might reduce its ability to hybridize.
Spotted arrays can be made by contact or noncontact spotting. The first depends on a physical touch (e.g., when needle-based instrument deposits oligos using very thin needles); the noncontact method applies electrical discharge or inkjet-type technology. Density of spots is limited in both cases—by physical thickness of a needle for contact printers or by the size of the aperture for inkjets. This means that the spot diameter can't be smaller than a certain limit, so their number on each slide is also limited.
To increase spot density in Affymetrix arrays oligos are synthesized directly on solid support by photolithography, so that literally millions of oligos are positioned on each mictoarray. This comes at a cost—accuracy of synthesis is good for short oligos but insufficient for longer molecules. "Despite these limitations, only Affymetrix makes tiling microarrays that cover the whole genome with very small gaps between two adjacent probes," says Dr. Levenson. "For our work, however, these arrays are far too complicated, so spotted arrays are the most appropriate."
Characterizing DNA methylation patterns is a hot topic, says Sungwhan An, Ph.D., president and CEO at Genomictree, who will also be presenting at the meeting. "We established a method for methyl DNA isolation assay (MeDIA) using the binding property of methyl-DNA binding polypeptide to methyl DNA.
"We also identified promising methylation targets for early detection and prediction of disease recurrence of colon cancer using MeDIA-coupled CpG microarray. Basically, we isolated methylated DNA specifically from a pool of fragmented genomic DNA with methyl DNA-binding domain and performed hybridization after labeling."
Dr. An says that his company does a lot of private sector work in the microarray space, and the identification of methylation biomarkers is of great interest.
"Eventually, our goal is to identify biomarkers for colon cancer—certain methylation biomarkers for early detection and stratification," says Dr. An. "We generated a recombinant histidine-tagged minimum size of methyl-DNA binding domain and used nickel magnetic particles for methyled DNA enrichment and adopted freeze-drying for preserving protein. This provides us better conditions for experimental replication and specificity and shelf life.
"We have a nice study design comparing genome-wide methylation patterns in a primary tumor and paired nontumor tissues of patients with colon cancers, half of them developed disease-recurrence and two super-normal tissues of healthy individuals over common reference DNA as a role of internal control.
"Methylation patterns were discerning enough to distinguish a primary tumor from nontumor tissues, which was closely grouped to super-normal tissues by unsupervised hierarchical clustering. We wanted to see if the stratification was prominent enough, and we found that this method of stratification worked on a small scale."
Dr. An says that using methylation to study DNA is helping scientists make great inroads in cancer research. "RNA gives good feedback, but DNA is more stable for methylation."

Volunteers celebration week in Turkey
07 December 2005, 18:28
by Betul Bozkurt
On 5 December 2005, the entire world is celebrating International Volunteer Day. We at Citigroup Turkey, planned to celebrate our volunteers and those who wish to join volunteering. For this aim, we organized Citigroup Turkey Volunteers Celebration Week.
Our volunteer week has begun with Volunteers Photos Exhibition. The exhibition, including photos of various activities of Citigroup Turkey volunteers, honored our volunteers so much and attracted the interest of our colleagues. At the same time we had The Non Profit Organisations Exhibition too . The members of our 7 partner non profit organisations had stands and met with our volunteers. There was also a little surprise for our volunteers. Each of our volunteers who had his "I'm a Citigroup volunteer" pin, had given an apple as the Volunteer Day gift. Our volunteers enjoyed their day, and had lots of fun. After the exhibitions, the country business managers of Citigroup Turkey met with our volunteers and thanked them for their contributions to the community.
Citigroup Turkey Volunteers Week continues with meetings with Non Profit Organisations. Womens Entrepreneurs Association, Junior Achievement Foundation, Turkish Education Volunteers Foundation, Beriköy-Yay Foundation, Foundation for Support of Womens Work, Mother and Child Education Foundation and Corporate Volunteer Association's representatives will hold meeetings with our volunteers and introduce their projects. We celebrate the Volunteer Day of every volunteers in the world, and invite everybody to volunteer!
best regards,

Four small western Nevada County wineries hope to increase their visibility and sales by opening tasting rooms in downtown Grass Valley.
Sierra Starr Vineyard and Winery is convinced it's a good idea; the Grass Valley winery has seen its sales increase more than 50 percent since opening its tasting room last July at 209 W. Main St.
Not incidentally, the proliferation of tasting rooms along West Main and Mill streets gives visitors another reason to spend time in the historic 13-block district.
Tasting rooms have been a familiar part of the downtown Nevada City scene for several years, but their arrival in Grass Valley adds another element to the downtown retail mix.
"You need a critical mass of each category to draw traffic," said Howard Levine, executive director of the Grass Valley Downtown Association. "There are enough here now for people to come downtown."
That's certainly been the experience of Anne Starr, co-owner with her husband, Phil, of Sierra Starr. "Since opening the tasting room, we've retained our old customers and attracted many new ones," she said.
"Nevada County isn't yet a destination (for wine lovers)," she added, "and our business is mainly in Grass Valley. We're very glad we came to Grass Valley ... we've been very well received."
Three small wineries hope to duplicate that success at Mill Street Wine Tasting, which opened for business Memorial Day weekend at 108 Mill St. Sierra Knolls Vineyard and Winery has combined forces with Coyoteville Winery and Burch Hall Winery to create a retail outlet for their vintages.
"This is the largest outlet for our wine because we don't sell it wholesale," said Brenda Taylor, co-owner with her husband, Steve, and John and Linda Chase of Sierra Knolls in the Lake of the Pines area.
The winery currently bottles 700 to 800 cases a year, and until the tasting room opened, most of its sales took place at the winery. "This is a fun place to taste the wine and a convenient location to pick up orders," Taylor said.
The tasting room is not finished - it opened two days after the license was granted - and a grand opening is planned for July 10, but Brenda Taylor said traffic was good over the three-day weekend and they expect to build the business over time.
"It's good to be in downtown Grass Valley," she said.
The idea for the Mill Street outlet came from Steve Burch, co-owner with his wife, Marsha, of Coyoteville and Burch Hall in Peardale. Like Sierra Knolls, he needed a retail outlet for his limited bottling of wine.
"We don't have a tasting room at the winery, and the property isn't suitable for groups of visitors," he said. "We would like to have a decent amount of traffic, and downtown Grass Valley provides that."
Burch said he approached Sierra Knolls about a joint venture "because neither one of us is big enough to start a retail venture right now ... Together, we have enough production to serve the consumer.
"We're very pleased with the way things have gone," he added. "It's a good way to promote the wineries because of the sheer volume of traffic."
A fourth winery, Lucchesi Vineyards and Winery of Grass Valley, will officially open its tasting room at 167 Mill St. June 19 but expects to be open before then to "iron out the kinks," according to owner Mario Clough.
Lucchesi sells its wines throughout Northern California and over the Internet, but it is located in a remote area that makes it difficult to attract visitors. Also, neighbors aren't always happy to have tasting rooms in the neighborhood.
"Being in Grass Valley gives us more access to our customers," Clough said last week. "This is just a natural evolution."
He believes being in town will make it easier for people to discover Lucchesi while giving the winery another retail outlet.
"Grass Valley is the best place for us because it draws more regular shoppers, whereas Nevada City gets more tourists who come once and never come back. And the parking is better."
Starr believes the opening of new tasting rooms can only benefit the local wine industry in the long run.
"People don't know about Nevada County wines," she said. "If Nevada City and Grass Valley have enough wine tasting rooms, we'll become a destination for out-of-town people."
Levine has a slightly different take on the development. "It's good for downtown because it keeps businesses open by bringing people to the area. I'm very positive about the development."

Boydville B&B on BZA agenda
March 2, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Martinsburg's Board of Zoning Appeals will consider at its regularly scheduled March meeting requests for exceptions to the current zoning of the historic Boydville estate. Jonathon T....
Where are there strip clubs in Martinsburg City? Not a one..because of zoning. Anyone can use the square, it's public property, there was no "court document" to allow those kids to pray in the square. They asked as a courtesy, as it is a repeating event and permission was granted without discussion. I know that there is an inherent distrust in government, but please make sure the facts are straight.

The zoning issues with the city or county is bringing garbage as opposed to good people building the community. Changes could be made if enough non-government people were allowed to do so. However, since we have government regulations, we need their help. We need to have clauses removed from or written into the zoning policies that build the community. Funding a new jail would have been a better option than a rec center. A drug dog for every school would have been a better idea. Good people are moving out and renting their homes to the same people they wanted to move away from. A person needs permission to have a wedding on their property, but does not need permission to rent to felons. Many cities and counties are run efficiently and provide a wonderful environment for the citizens. We do not have that. Flipping the rental homes in Martinsburg and turning them into semi-expensive townhouses would drive out the garbage. One wealthy real estate person could change the city.

Maj and callie I'm with you. I have a good idea who disagreed with you, Maj. This was another example of the control freak nature of the FPB, aka the Jim and Floyd Show. Now they're taking a $1.75 million loss on the property and wanting to tell the buyer what to do with their white elephant. No one should feel sorry for them. Remember, they were hemorrhaging with cash during the real estate debacle as they were getting a percentage of every transaction during that buying and selling frenzy. You can't ride the crest forever. Both of them were Randy Smith supporters; they should have asked him to buy it.

This world is really messed up when a B&B needs special zoning permission, but the strip bars can trash the town with sex, drugs, and alcohol related crime and deaths. A group of teens want to pray in town in hopes of giving a wayward teen something good to bond with, and they are only "allowed" by a court document? How about a few people with a moral conscience taking over this town and getting rid of the garbage. Berkeley County facilitates the attraction of this town to criminals, by the strip clubs alone. The clubs are the core of the problem because they provide a common ground for assembly of the criminals. But oh no, we need to beg for permission to have a wedding or a B&B!

Should Consumers Be Permitted to Waive Products Liability? Product Safety, Private Contracts, and Adverse Selection
Albert H. Choi
University of Virginia School of Law
Kathryn E. Spier
Harvard University - Law School - Faculty; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
March 8, 2013
Virginia Law and Economics Research Paper No. 2010-11
Harvard Law and Economics Discussion Paper No. 680
A potentially dangerous product is supplied by a competitive market. The likelihood of a product-related accident depends on the unobservable precautions taken by the manufacturer and on the type of the consumer. Contracts include the price to be paid by the consumer ex ante and stipulated damages to be paid by the manufacturer ex post in the event of an accident. Although the stipulated damage payments are a potential solution to the moral hazard problem, firms have a private incentive to reduce the stipulated damages (and simultaneously lower the up front price) in order to attract the safer consumers who are less costly to serve. The competitive equilibrium - if an equilibrium exists at all - features suboptimally low stipulated damages and correspondingly suboptimal levels of product safety. Imposing tort liability on manufacturers for uncovered accident losses - and prohibiting private parties from waiving that liability - can improve social welfare.

Flu researchers have agreed to self-impose a 60-day pause on work involving highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 that are transmissible in mammals. The halt, called by two independent research teams publishing work on the generation of avian H5N1 viruses that can be transmitted to ferrets, has been agreed by scientists around the world.
In studies to be published, Ron A. M Fouchier's team at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam (the Netherlands) and Adolfo Carcia-Sastre and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Madison independently showed that live H5N1 viruses and viruses possessing a hemagglutinin (HA) protein from H5N1 viruses can become transmissible in ferrets. They had previously agreed to omit from their publications experimental details that would allow others to replicate the generation of ferret-transmissible H5N1.
In a statement released Friday afternoon in both Nature and Science, the teams stress that their studies do provide critical information that will help advance the scientific world's understanding of how flu is transmitted. Moreover, they point out, influenza virus transmission studies in animal models are being carried out in laboratories globally under government-regulated and monitored international standards of biossafety and biosecurity. And whether the ferret-adapted viruses could even be transmitted between humans can't be tested.
Nevertheless, they admit, "a perceived fear that the ferret-transmissible H5 HA viruses may escape from the laboratories has generated intense public debate in the media on the benefits and potential harm of this type of research." As a result of this unease, the scientists are advocating an international forum in which the scientific community can discuss and debate issues surrounding the importance and safety of such research.
"We realize that organizations and governments around the world need time to find the best solutions for opportunities and challenges that stem from the work," the scientists state. "To provide time for these discussions, we have agreed on a voluntary pause of 60 days on any research involving highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 viruses leading to the generation of viruses that are more transmissible in mammals. In addition, no experiments with live H5N1 or H5 HA reassortant viruses already shown to be transmissible in ferrets will be conducted during this time."
