Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
At the American Society for Cell Biology's annual meeting last month, Kat Hadjantonakis, Ph.D., an associate member of the Sloan-Kettering Institute, spoke about imaging live-cell dynamics in mouse embryos. She described imaging experiments designed to shed light on cell lineage differentiation and morphogenesis during mouse development in utero.
Researchers can study embryo maturation in situ with the use of optical probes and techniques such as gene targeting to introduce into a fertilized egg a gene that codes for a fluorescent fusion protein reporter.
Dr. Hadjantonakis' group used a fusion reporter composed of the H2B histone protein and green fluorescent protein (GFP) to image blastocyst-stage embryos (the stage at which stem cells form), which are approximately 140 microns in diameter and contain about 150 cells. The H2B-GFP mouse strains express the reporter in endodermal cells.
The group found that the inner cell mass of the blastocyst comprises two cell lineages in a random fashion (the pluripotent epiblast and the primitive endoderm), "suggesting plasticity in lineage specification," Dr. Hadjantonakis reported. The embryos will ultimately eliminate via apoptosis those cells that do not undergo proper lineage specification, she added.
Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) can be used as a marker of the primitive endoderm lineage and its derivatives. Dr. Hadjantonakis introduced the H2B-GFP fusion reporter into blastocysts under the control of PDGFRα regulatory elements. Live imaging of the embryos led to the conclusion that PDGF signaling is essential for the establishment and expansion of the primitive endoderm lineage.
Dr. Hadjantonakis also showed how laser confocal microscopy can be used to achieve single-cell resolution of an embryo. Combined with tissue-specific fluorescent-labeling techniques, it is possible to visualize and distinguish between cells of the endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm as the embryo develops, and to demonstrate tissue-specific expression and study cell signaling at the level of a single cell. "We are moving to single-cell resolution data," she explained.
In addition, she described how photoconvertible probes can be used to visualize cell population dynamics and follow a group of cells over time, to study, for example, mouse embryo morphogenesis and determine cell fate. Dr. Hadjantonakis reported that her group is exploring the combination of photoconversion and subcellular localization to enable single-cell precision imaging.
Photoconversion protein monomers typically have a half-life in vivo of 48 to 52 hours, depending on the tissue in which they are expressed. Any sensor protein used for intravital imaging must be thoroughly evaluated to determine its potential for cytotoxic effects such as cell aggregation.
In the future, multiplexing techniques will rely on fluorescent reporters for differential staining of the nucleus and cytoplasm. Intravital imaging can then be used to gain additional insights into the pathways and changes associated with cell morphology, cell division, and cell death. The ability to study cell activity and viability at the single cell level in vivo could have important implications in drug discovery for understanding the effects of experimental compounds.

Im planing on getting a Gen 4 19 soon and was looking at Galco Walkabout and King Tuk Holsters. Don;t want to spend much more money than that. Any advice/ reviews of these or other holsters arround this price.

Here we go again. What's an IWB?
September 9, 2011, 07:10 AM
For a very well made, secure holster, check out the crossbreed supertuck. Also, there is a gentleman over at glock talk named Coach G. I have two of his holsters, which conceal glocks very well. Also, take a good look at the remora no clip holster.
IWB = Inside the Waist Band.
September 9, 2011, 07:40 AM
Plus 1 for coachG...I have two of his IWB kydex holsters. One for a G17 and one for a G30. They work great, are cheap, and coachG was a pleasure to deal with...get them pretty fast, too. I ordered mine with zero cant...just a straight drop on the belt clip...this way, I can wear them behind the hip, or crossdraw.
September 9, 2011, 09:39 AM
Raven Concealment Phantom.
Lots of different IWB attachment options. If you decide you don't like carrying IWB, for whatever reason, you can just buy OWB attachments and wear the same holster OWB.
It is not an inexpensive holster, but because of the flexibility of the design, you can save a bunch of money by just buying one holster with different attachments, rather than a bunch of different holsters.
September 11, 2011, 05:44 PM
I have had very good holsters from Larry. Very fast turn around time, very good prices and 100 % money back if not happy with his product for any reason.
September 14, 2011, 03:34 PM
Try the MTAC
I have used the MTAC for my G19 as my primary carry gun for over two years now. Before that a G26 in a CTAC was my primary for over three years. They are both very good holsters and the shipping is extremely quick. You should have it in days.
I had, and sold, the Raven Concealment Systems Phantom model that fits a light (G19 + streamlight TLR1). It was just too big, stiff and bulky for my liking.

"He's totally getting a bad rap here," according to Federline attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan, who says the "court of public opinion" is focusing on a few outstanding expenditures. "It seems like an unnecessary attempt to knock him when there's really no basis to do that."
Kaplan claims that even the $2,000 Scores strip club tip has a logical explanation. "That was for a group of people for a friend's bachelor party," says Kaplan, who adds that it wasn't a tip: "That's just how the club categorized it."
Many of Federline's tips are less extravagant. During a September trip to Fat Tony's Italian Restaurant in North Carolina, he tipped $10.00 on a $41.69 bill.
Federline's Double LifeThe papers show two sides to K-Fed. Last August, he spent $304.30 to fly to Las Vegas on low-cost Southwest Airlines. ("He doesn't fly private and more often he drives," says Kaplan.) But once he was there, he didn't cut corners. Over the next three days, he spent $3,038.69 at the Hard Rock Beach Club, $3,863.50 at Tao, and $10,220.65 at The Venetian.
Still, some of his spending is less rock star and more suburban dad. Routine charges at Target ($115.10), IKEA ($246.66) and Albertson's grocery store ($405.75) fill his credit card statements, interspersed with occasional shopping sprees at toy stores. (In May, he dropped $2,167.52 in one day at Toys R Us and Babies R Us.)
Kaplan also disagrees with Britney Spears's legal team's argument that the larger expenses suggest Federline should foot some of the custody-battle legal bills that he's asked her to pay.
"Don't focus on whether he spent too much money going on a vacation or going to a restaurant," says Kaplan. "Focus – as the court does – on was he reasonable having to incur these [court] fees? The answer is a resounding yes." Kaplan says that the legal fees were "built up quite frankly by the conduct of [Spears]" during some of her court-delaying, widely-publicized antics.
"I don't think the court should be distracted by the fact that he went to Las Vegas and spent $1,000 or $5,000," says Kaplan. "It's not relevant."

MARTINSBURG - For years the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office has tried to start a chaplaincy program, but for one reason or another it has never been able to make it work.
That has changed in recent months, as the requests for a department chaplain have been heard, according to Sheriff Kenneth "Kenny" Lemaster. The kinds of situations to which many officers are exposed are often difficult to handle emotionally, Lemaster said.
"We deal with a lot of fatalities related to 81. We deal with a lot of infant deaths," Lemaster said. "As law enforcement, you can't wear your emotions on your sleeves when you work these heinous crimes."
Chaplain Scott Sheets, who also is a pastor at Hedgesville Baptist Church, has been working with officers for about four months, he said. Sheets, once a member of the Martinsburg Police Department and a deputy sheriff in Florida, said he feels blessed to be in his position.
"It's a brotherhood," Sheets said. "I no longer wear a badge of law enforcement authority, but we're still the brotherhood of law enforcement."
Sheets said that as much as he can see he is helping officers, they, too, help him.
"I just want to help," Sheets said. "I understand what they go through and wish for years I would have had a support system for myself."
Chaplain John Unger, pastor at St. John's Lutheran Church in Harpers Ferry and Bolivar United Methodist Church, is assisting Sheets in the chaplaincy program. Unger said he has experience as a chaplain with Hospice of the Panhandle, as well as Jefferson Medical Center.
"Overall, we're there to support them in their faith walk as well as emotionally and spiritually," Unger said. "In addition to that ... when these deputies go and have to inform families of death notices, if a chaplain's with them, the chaplains could be there for those families as well until their particular minister gets there."
Unger, also a state senator, said he is serving outside of his political capacity, though those topics may arise throughout his time with officers.
"We may talk about some issues," Unger said. "That doesn't stop them from telling me problems they have as part of their jobs ... but the primary reason I'm there is as a chaplain to support them emotionally and spiritually."
Unger added he also is planning to chaplain for the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department.
All three men spoke of officers' need of support from the community. For Lemaster, support like the chaplains' is necessary for officers to remain healthy despite being exposed to trauma.
Sheets spoke of the nationwide community that is law enforcement and expressed his belief that it is underappreciated.
"It's commonly a forsaken community of men and women," Sheets said. "These men and women need to be appreciated and thanked more often."

Samsung Galaxy S IV to launch in April with S Pen functionality?
0. phoneArena 28 Dec 2012, 07:42 posted on
Here is a juicy rumor fresh out of Korea - the Samsung Galaxy S IV might be the first handset in the series to launch with an S Pen and the accompanying functionality…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
No. S Pen should be a Note only feature. If the Galaxy S line were to get an S Pen, that would take some of the glory off of the Note line, and just make it a bigger Galaxy S.
7. MeoCao (unregistered)
True, and no need for rumor on JB thing, it's granted.
21. nexusalltheway (Posts: 69; Member since: 28 Nov 2012)
Will be better if rumored to have Lime Pie
29. sniper1087 (Posts: 508; Member since: 31 Dec 2011)
That wont happen until google announces it which they will probably do at IO
12. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 12979; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
The Note is just a bigger Galaxy S.
13. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
... With an S Pen that grants extra functionality.
44. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 12979; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
That doesn't stop it from being an oversized Galaxy S phone.
49. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
in a regard yes, it is an oversized Galaxy S device however it is not JUST an oversized Galaxy S. that's what he was trying to convey.
68. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 12979; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
Besides a few phablet features I don't see how it isn't just an oversized Galaxy S.
75. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
you just contradicted yourself. the Phablet features and tight integration with the S-Pen separate it from being an oversized Galaxy S. without them it would be a larger, higher end Galaxy S.
78. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 12979; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
I didn't contradict myself. Even with them the Note is still a larger higher end Galaxy S.
90. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
You said the Note was JUST an over-sized Galaxy S. Now, you are saying it's a large Galaxy S, but with special features dedicated to that kind of device. It's those special features that separate it from the Galaxy S line and make more appealing to consumers.
You contradicted yourself.
92. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
the key word you're forgetting here is "just".
60. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1116; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
If the Note is an oversized Galaxy the iPad is an extremely oversized iPod touch?
69. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 12979; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
Do your research first before you comment. You know the iPad has more features than the Touch. Can the Touch get a cellular connection through 3G and Lte?
76. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
oh you mean an optional feature separates the two? is that what you're saying? your trolling has been more weaksauce than usual lately...
79. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 12979; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
What I am saying is that they aren't entirely the same. The iPad is a tablet, which can use many tablet apps that the iPod can't use. The only weaksauce here is the responses.
93. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
that doesn't disprove CanYouSeeTheLight's comparison being equivalent to the one you made to the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Note. there's apps the Note can use that the S can't because of it's Phablet cclassification so yeah, all weaksauce.
84. Insignificant (Posts: 192; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
Sorry, bad analogy. What you say is completely correct, but that's the problem, you are correct, and he is wrong, so the analogy doesn't work.
65. ajc76 (Posts: 6; Member since: 10 Dec 2012)
Then the iPad and iPad mini are both over sized iPhones using your same logic, correct...?
70. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 12979; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
They're tablets, not phones.
16. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Don't forget the larger screen. You can do more productive things on a larger screen. Sammy has an ad out about that concept. Have you not seen it? PA even has an article about Sammy's ad.
Net-net, Note II is a bit more than 'just' a bigger GS III.
46. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 12979; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
Those can be done on tablets.
50. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
a Phablet is a viable alternative to those who don't want to carry both a phone and a tablet.
56. lyndon420 (Posts: 4370; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)
Absolutely right, but there is nothing that states only tablets can use an s-pen or any kind of stylus. Options are always a good thing regardless...that's the beauty of Android.
62. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Except you are carrying both a tablet and a phone. The Note II gives you both functions in one package.
71. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 12979; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
I see more excuses than I do legitimate counterclaims.
77. MistB (Posts: 581; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
what? Please just troll elsewhere
80. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 12979; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
The truth isn't trolling.
94. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
typical troll response. xD

which is just a smaller note 10.1?
83. letgomyeggroll (Posts: 138; Member since: 13 Jun 2012)
I have the S3 and my wife has the Note 2, and there are some differences. The Note 2 screen is more sharp and brighter. The S-pen comes in very handy as you can hand write and the phone convert it text for you. The S-pen does the screen shots, open tabs to view more option without having to select it. The quad processor and 2 gig RAM makes quick and smooth. Photo edit, slide tabs for for multi tasking and among other things.
For the Apple devices, I have seen and try them all. From the IPod to IPAd, they all the same, the difference are cellular phone and screen size. Yes most apps are available for IPod also, the big question is, is it usable for the end user to have it on a smaller screen? Every single devices are the same no matter how you look at it. They work the same and have the same future.
Mxy, what you don't get is, this is how Apple makes their money. They dont have to redesign for it each device, they only have to train their support on only one thing. They make it think they change things individually. We are just of them that falls for it.
You need to play with all the devices and brain storm how much difference they are. So you have an IPod and an IPhone, WHY????? They do the eact samething!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
97. xfire99 (Posts: 827; Member since: 14 Mar 2012)
Better then all lookalike ripoffed bigger sized ipods.
98. billybuttpounder (banned) (Posts: 105; Member since: 28 Dec 2012)
and the ipad is just a bigger ipod, your point?
40. ebubekir26 (Posts: 318; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
yeah , if the Galaxy S line will have an S-pen ,, then what's the point of the Galaxy Note line ?? i hope Samsung will think before releasing the Galaxy S IV
43. gazmatic (Posts: 795; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
the note IS a glorified gs3...just more capable...
isnt it obvious?
i will buy a note 3 if it stays under 7" though
52. mxb545 (Posts: 3; Member since: 26 Dec 2012)
Now im all for huge phones, I own a note 2, and I will be buying the largest 1080 p display that has an external battery (so most likely the note 3) next year.
That said one of the biggest advantages samsung has right now is they have the all comers phone in the s3 and the specialty note 2. If the rumors are true the s3 will end up like a mini note 2. IMO alot of people agree that 4.7 is the largest an average phone can be before you enter "phablet size"
Im sure everyone knows here that opinion on the note 2 is sharply divided on weather its to big or not. Right now though, thats not a problem, if the note 2 is too big you just buy an s3. This might become a problem when the note 2 is 6.3 inches and the smaller phone is a 5 inchs which is pretty much a "phablet"
63. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
If the GS IV is equipped with a 5 inch display, unless they biff the design, the footprint of the IV will be only slightly larger than the III. We are only talking about 2/10ths inch increase in diagonal measurement.
72. AnTuTu (Posts: 1580; Member since: 14 Oct 2012)
Some people are just barking around saying that Note 2 is an over sized Galaxy S, they either need a new life or need to understand technology.
I really feel pity on them why because they comment like this in frustration and they know they can't get these features, functionality and devices from their fruit shops...!!
86. Insignificant (Posts: 192; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
I think I know what's going on. The Note 3 will be 6"+. Although some people are happy with the size, 6"+ will be too big. Therefore, they don't want to lose customers who would like a Note roughly its current size. Thus, the S4 with the pen.
101. seier (Posts: 4; Member since: 22 Nov 2012)
Why can't the note just be a bigger, more durable, and bettery battery life phone that's enough diffentiation for one phone. I love stylusses so I'm all for all Samsung phones and tablets having them. Clearly you haven't thought about how difficult it will be interacting with tiny controls made smaller by 1080P. Your pinky is too fat, you'll want a stylus in some programs, especially drawing apps. That being said I hated the stylus on the Note II. My HTC Fuse and HTC Touch Pro 2's both had smaller, more precise, and better gliding stylusses.
102. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I'm not talking about JUST the stylus. You could buy any run of the mill capacitive stylus for what you're talking about, I was talking about all the extra features that come along with the stylus in the Note II.
Sure enough, if Samsung brings the stylus to the Galaxy S line, they might as well bring all the software features of the stylus, and that will take half of the individuality of the Note series away, the other half being its pure size, which subsequently brings better battery life.
109. iami67 (Posts: 318; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I agree The S series doesnt need a pen. I got the note 2 for screen size and have never took the pen out yet. Most people would prefer thinner then with a pen. Thats just my experience from working at a store and seeing the surveys that have been done with how many people actual use the pen.
110. nihn75 (Posts: 11; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
I want a reasonably sized phone and I want an s pen. Samsung should put all the best features in their latest phones. People who want an s pen should not have to suffer with a gigantic phone. All phones should have an s pen, its convenient and if you don't want to use it, it's not in your way. You declare to save the glory of the note line... HAHAHA. What do you care about the note lines glory? If the note is such a good phone, why not make a smaller version for people who don't want a movie screen in their pocket?
117. Larry_ThaGr81 (Posts: 441; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Agreed, if Samsung does this they will take away the biggest distinguishing feature that the Galaxy Note series has to offer.

I dont think its a problem, if they are a bit thicker if this helps pack a bigger battery,as the note and note II are pretty slim .. so it doesnt make much difference.. but the Bigger Battery is a MUST! the 1080p screen is the main criminal :D! for battery drain!.. 3000mah is a must for the screen and the new processor // GET THIS RIGHT! and it will be AWESOME DEVICE!
As for the s-pen, for me it no big deal. :P

At 5" + edges and 9.2mm, a 3000mAh is pretty much a given.
Agreed, don't think S-Pen would be a misstep, although I don't think the rumor is true (rumor is likely for the "Note Mini"), but would make sense since Samsung needs and usually manages to differentiate itself from rivals, and pretty much everybody will have a 5" 1080p phone by Spring next year.

if all these rumors are true, this phone will defeat the purpose of it existence as a phone and become more of a (Galaxy note 2 mini ).

Galaxy s line would be the high end smartphone class, i don't think they will get Spen feature as Samsung probably doesn't want to hurt galaxy note series sales
5. abdane (Posts: 494; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
noooo, S Pen should be a note exclusive... i wont mind to have it on the GS IV, as a matter of fact i love it, but... it should be only for the note :P

Samsung Galaxy gagnam style with S-pen
8. MattGioff (Posts: 11; Member since: 26 Nov 2012)
I have nothing against bigger screens or stylus/s-pens, but I just hope the body of the galaxy S IV isn't large. I wish apple made an iPhone 5 with android and I'd be very happy.

So you want a manufacturer to make a phone running software that is in direct competition with them? Interesting.
9. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
This might change my mind about sticking to S3..I use the capacitive pen to draw on it but it's a far cry from the Wacom digitizer abilities.
It would be awesome if Samsung gives that to the S4- it may hurt the Note a bit, but it would further separate the S4 from direct competition!
Also, the 9mm thickness means only one thing - sweet, juicy battery to power that laptop-grade processor!
If the rumors are true, the S4 will be epic
10. amozhi (Posts: 130; Member since: 23 Oct 2012)
S-Pen would be a nice feature on S IV. I miss this feature on my S3. Since S line up reached 5 inch as a minimum size, Samsung would bring the note line up with even bigger size such as 6.3, 7 and 10.1 inches.
Now Samsung has to give importance to build quality and more software features to differentiate other competitors

Library celebrates first step in construction of new site
May 10, 2013
SHEPHERDSTOWN — The rain held off long enough Thursday evening for the Shepherdstown Public Library to hold its "Brown Breaking" ceremony at the site of the former Shepherdstown Municipal Dump....
Id rather go to a dump than a library.

Regarding Patriot's comment, the Shepherd University library is not able to serve the needs of the community and it is not meant for that purpose. Its collection and space is meant for the University and for academic and scientific research. It does not maintain a children's section or offer programming for children. It does not maintain a significant amount of general fiction or nonfiction reading for teens and adults. Nor does it have the capacity to accomodate and serve the 18,000 plus residents in the northern Jefferson County service area and there is little to no parking. The new site will have plenty of parking and space for residents to use. Including space for children, teen, and adult sections, with comfortable reading and learning spaces, meeting space, and a large area with computer workstations. Additionally, all of it will be handicap accessible. The area needs a community library that everyone can use.

So the city of Shepherdstown created a hazardous dump, couldn't apply for grants to clean it up since they created the mess, found a loophole to transfer the property to the county temporarily with the premise it will be returned to Shepherdstown and who then applied for a clean up grant. Wow, what a loophole in federal grant issuance. The original owner and creator of the dump still in effect gets the grant, reacquirs the property thru another transfer and builds the library with taxpayer funds that was not needed due to the proximity of the new and capable Shepherd University library. In the meantime, govt workers are layer off, furloughed and vacancies cannot be filled impacting the jobs market. What a tragedy. But in Shepherdstown, I would believe anything of this nature will and can happen.

Serves 1 |
Prep Time 5 minutes |
Cook Time 10 minutes
1 tsp Eden Sesame Oil,Eden Toasted Sesame Oil or Eden Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 piece any Eden Brown Rice Mochi
1/4 sheet Eden Sushi Nori
1 tsp Eden Shoyu Soy Sauce
2 tsp water
1/4 tsp finely grated fresh ginger root
Place the oil in a cast iron or heavy skillet and heat. Add the mochi, reduce the flame to medium-low and cover. Cook 3 to 4 minutes. Flip over, cover and cook another 3 to 4 minutes or until the mochi puffs up. Remove from the pan and wrap the nori around the mochi. Mix the shoyu, water and ginger in a small dipping bowl. Dip the mochi in the dip sauce and eat while hot. This is a very popular sandwich in Japan and is served for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a healthy between meal snack.
Variation: Finely grated daikon radish or red radish can be used in place of ginger. The ginger, daikon or radish help aid in digestion of not only the oil but of the mochi as well. These are traditional accompaniments in Japan when mochi is served.

Now what we're seeing here is a definition that you're reading, which is an act that you only can do while reading with your eyes, which isn't like reading with your hands. If you read with your hands, you're not really reading because reading requires the use of your eyes which aren't on your hands because they're your hands, that is unless you're blind and have some kind of newflangled brailler attachment, in which case you WOULD be reading with your hands instead of your eyes. Anyway, here you are reading this definition that's being read with your eyes and not your hands, and it's about John Madden. Now this John Madden guy, he's not like other guys, because if he was he'd be them, which isn't what he is because he's him, he's John Madden. If he was another guy, then he'd be Tony Siragusa, or Troy Aikman, who reads with his hands and talks with his ass which is on his neck which acts like a face which it's not because he's not John Madden.

Despite receiving a normal result for her annual mammogram in 2010, further examination revealed a different outcome for Altoona mom of three Becky Knott.
"When I went for my yearly mammogram the technician doing the mammogram told me she thought my left breast felt firmer and looked a little pinker than the right breast," Knott, 50, said in an email. "The mammogram was normal but she hand wrote a note on the report asking the doctor to take another look. My doctor did another exam and sent me to see a surgeon as a precaution. The surgeon wanted to do a biopsy of the tissue, as a precaution. The biopsy was positive and I had breast cancer."
Knott, a special education teacher for the Altoona Area School District, was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer on Jan. 29, 2010.

Becky Knott
"I will never forget how hard it was when I had to tell my family I had cancer," said Knott, who is married to husband, Jeff, and has children, Emily, 23, Jessica, 21 and Ryan, 18.
In addition to receiving chemotherapy, Knott underwent a mastectomy, radiation and a year-long Herceptin treatment, she said.
"I have been cancer free for three years and feel I am very lucky to still be alive," she said. "My family kept and still keeps me going. My husband is my rock. He attended every chemotherapy treatment with me and still attends all my follow-up appointments with me. My family has always been there for me and I couldn't have done it without them. My children were always there to help with whatever was needed. Throughout my treatments I was also blessed to have my extended family, friends, and coworkers show me their support. They all kept me going with the things they did for my family. ... Cancer changes your life forever. Cancer doesn't just change the life of an individual, it changes the life of the whole family and I feel blessed to have the support I continue to have."

What: 14th annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Blair County Walk
When: 9 a.m. registration, 11 a.m. program and walk, Saturday, Oct. 5
Where: Peoples Natural Gas Field, Altoona
Other details: The third annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Bedford Walk will begin with registration at 9 a.m. Oct. 19 at Omni Bedford Springs Resort.
For more information, call 695-9232.
Knott has given her own support to the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Blair County Walk.
She became a walker in 2010 and the next year became a committee member. This year she is the walk's Honorary Chairperson Survivor.
"It is our 14th annual year for the walk. We're so thrilled," said Lisa Koncz, an income development specialist for the American Cancer Society of Blair County. "This is our second year at Peoples Natural Gas Field. We are thrilled to be back there. It was a great venue for us last year ... and there's definitely potential room to grow and develop our walk, which we hope to do so."
In the meantime, a couple goals for this year are set.
"Last year we saw about 980 participants attend the walk so this year we're really excited, we're hoping to beat the 1,000 mark. ... just to celebrate survivorship, celebrate those who are battling breast cancer, and then you get a lot of information about breast cancer and so forth and our key naturally is always to promote early detection."
Last year's walk raised more than $159,000, according to a society press release.
"This year our goal is to raise over $165,000," event chairwoman Janine Henahan said in the release. "We hope the community will consider that in just a few hours they will help bring a lifetime of change for the many people facing a breast cancer diagnosis this year."
Last year's walk had 86 registered survivors, Koncz said.
"We know that there will be more. ... I would love to see us break the 100 mark for survivors," she said. "And I would love all survivors to know that we just want to have them there. They do not need to actually physically walk the walk if they are unable to, but just to have them there so that we can celebrate their accomplishments and their journey and support them as well. Them and their families."
UPMC Altoona is the 2013 survivor sponsor, and it will sponsor all survivor activities for the walk, Koncz said.
The funds raised from the walk go to breast cancer research and for programs and services in Blair and surrounding counties, Koncz said.
"And I'm very proud of the American Cancer Society with its research accomplishments because through our donor dollars from folks like those in Blair County we were able to have scientists discover Tamoxifen and Herceptin which are two really key, valuable treatments for women and men going through breast cancer. And there are men who are diagnosed with breast cancer too. I believe 2 percent of all diagnosis are men," Koncz said.
Another way to help is through enrolling in the American Cancer Society's third Cancer Prevention Study (CPS-3). Enrollment will take place in Altoona at the Station Medical Center noon to 6 p.m. Thursday and 8 a.m. to noon on the day of the walk, lower-level locker rooms, Peoples Natural Gas Field.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to honor those we love who have been touched by this disease by enrolling in this very worthwhile study that plays such a significant part of cancer research," Koncz said.
For Knott, ultimately the initiative and walk give her a chance to not just stride but strive for a cure.
"The walk makes me feel so happy knowing I am a survivor," she said. "I feel blessed knowing I am part of finding a cure and love the opportunity to be involved. But, more importantly being a part of Making Strides and the walk each year allows me to be a part of a wonderful cause to raise money to find a cure for breast cancer so no one has to go through the life changing experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer."

The 5 Funniest Quips from Neil Patrick Harris's Emmys Monologue
Well, Neil Patrick Harris got right into it during his monologue, and he even brought along some former hosts to help him do it.
In case you missed it, here's a recap of the monologue's best zingers:
1. "Or as Paula Deen now has to call it, Orange Is the New African American."
Not missing an opportunity to poke fun at the beleaguered chef, Harris turned a line about this year's colorful spate of television into a dig at the culinary queen.
2. "I wasn't asked back ... because I'm a woman."
When the award show's previous hosts stormed the stage to warn Harris about the dangers of not being asked back to emcee, Glee's leading lady slyly pointed out that she was the only woman among them.
3. "I'm not going to do anything like that. That is far too gay."
If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? Harris did just that when he mocked Fallon's suggestion he perform a dance routine like he has in previous stints as host of the Tony Awards.
4. "Take your pants off. Twerk it."
Veterans of the award show skit, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler nailed it once more when they sat in the audience and heckled Harris.
5. "It might be degrading, but we would be de-grate-ful."
Content as he may be to stay clothed, even Harris found it difficult to argue with the comediennes when Poehler whipped out a great pun.


text: We have a new model Ford Ka 'Edge'. The running gear is mainly Fiat (the tried and tested Punto 8 valve OHC non interference engine). The Ka is about £2k cheaper than the Fiat 500 (which the running gear is shared with) and is an easy car to live with. So far we are averaging 50mpg driving sensibly. Nice steel wheels, which wont chip if it curbs, and a full size spare wheel none of that glue and pump stuff. Its got a good size boot for the family shopping trip and good room in the back for two adults. Air con comes as standard for those hot summer days (?). We looked at a Fiat 500 first but were offered silly money for our trade in but Ford gave us a good deal. Will keep you up to date with any problems.:

After getting pushed around during the first scrimmage of training camp, the Stetson defense came back with a vengeance on Wednesday night in the final scrimmage before the start of the 2014 season.
The Hatters' defense limited the offense to just 46 total rushing yards, thanks in large part to the 12 sacks and nine other tackles for loss. The defense also forced five turnovers on the night.
One of those turnovers was an interception by Donald Payne, who turned the pick into a 75-yard touchdown. The two other interceptions in the scrimmage were recorded by Chris Atkins and Marlin Hall.
"Being the head coach, the bad part is that the last couple of weeks I have really felt good about the offense, and the defense looked bad and I didn't sleep," head coach Roger Hughes said. "Tonight, the defense looked good and the offense looked bad, so I still won't sleep."
The lone offensive touchdown came in the second quarter when junior quarterback Blake Plattsmier connected with sophomore Calvin Armatas behind the defense for a 50-yard TD pass.
The only other points in the scrimmage came on a 46-yard field goal by Grant Amick.
Part of the improvement on the defensive side was the return of several key players, including Payne, who had seven tackles to go with his interception as well as a pass breakup and a quarterback hurry.
"The nice thing was we got five guys back tonight that we haven't had," Hughes said. "When you have number 7 (Payne) out there, it makes a big difference. On defense, we made a lot of big plays and offensively, I didn't think we showed up to play."
The offense managed just 46 rushing yards in the scrimmage on 66 attempts. Sophomore Dre Long was the leading rusher with just 36 yards on seven carries.
With starting quarterback Ryan Tentler taking the night off after slightly spraining his ankle on Monday, the two players in contention for the backup job, Plattsmier and sophomore Jonathan Jerozal, took center stage.
Plattsmier completed just 8-of-23 attempts, but threw for 176 yards. He was intercepted once. Jerozal completed 10-of-23 attempts for 108 yards, but was intercepted twice and fumbled the ball away twice.
"I told the team that it was a debacle," Hughes said. "We had too many penalties, too many turnovers and too many dropped balls. We ran around like we had 50-pound bags on our hips. We just didn't compete.
"Both Blake and Jon have had moments of looking outstanding and moments of not looking very good at all. It has really been a bipolar performance for both of them."
On the defensive side, sophomore Davion Belk had seven tackles, including three for loss and a sack, and also broke up two passes. Freshmen Mason Johnson and Eddie Curry also made an impression. Johnson recorded five tackles, including three sacks while Curry had four tackles, one for loss, and two pass pass breakups.
In addition to the 12 sacks, the defense had 12 hurries and 10 breakups.
"The defense brought a lot of pressure tonight that we have handled pretty well, but we didn't handle it tonight," Hughes said. "I was really excited about the pass-rush tonight because we were using a lot of four-man front and were still getting pressure. It was encouraging that we were not having to bring eight or nine guys to get some pressure."
The Hatters now have 10 days to get ready for their 2014 season opener against Warner in Lakeland on August 30. During those 10 days the team will have to plan for a team with a new coaching staff and a lot of unknowns.
"With an immature team, I think it is better for us to have had a bad performance tonight, because it gives you a reason to rip them," Hughes said. "I think we found out something about ourselves tonight. I am glad we stunk the joint up, because it is a wake-up call. If they have matured, like I think they have, they will bounce back from this with a greater sense of urgency."

Former Texas state Rep. Terri Hodge leaves federal prison, nears end of sentence for evading taxes in FBI's corruption probe
Terri Hodge was the highest-ranking public official implicated in the FBI corruption investigation that shook Dallas politics during the aughts.
She had long denied wrongdoing, but eventually pleaded guilty to lying on her taxes. Hodge omitted about $27,000 in money from developers Brian and Cheryl Potashnik, who paid her apartment rent, utilities and other benefits for her support in their pursuit of millions in low-income housing tax credits.
Hodge returned to Dallas yesterday, after completing 10 months in federal prison. Gromer Jeffers Jr. reports that she'll spend a few more months in a halfway house to finish her one-year sentence.
Hodge had this to say before leaving D/FW International Airport: "I'm going to spend some time with my family and try to get myself back together, and begin to do the things that I did prior to leaving Dallas. I may not be an elected official, but I will still work for the benefit of the people."

From Mirror, wire reports
UNIVERSITY PARK - Penn State senior linebacker Michael Mauti has been named a first-team All-American by Phil Steele's College Football, earning his second All-America recognition.
A team co-captain, Mauti previously was named an ESPN first-team All-American, giving Penn State 11 first-team All-Americans since 2005. He also was a Pro Football Weekly honorable-mention All-American, one of just four outside linebackers recognized by the publication (two first-team, two honorable-mention).
Penn State's 97th first-team All-American, Mauti is the 83rd Penn State football student-athlete to earn first team All-America recognition, a total of 97 times, dating to W.T. Dunn's selection to the Walter Camp All-America squad in 1906.
Mauti is the Nittany Lions' 23rd first team All-American since starting Big Ten Conference competition in 1993 (27 total selections). Mauti is the eighth first-team All-America selection since 1999, joining standouts LaVar Arrington (1998, '99), Brandon Short (1999), Paul Posluszny (2005, '06) and Dan Connor (2006, '07). All-Pro linebacker NaVorro Bowman was a second-team All-American in 2009 at Penn State.
A semifinalist for the 2012 Butkus Award, Mauti was selected the Big Ten Butkus-Fitzgerald Linebacker of the Year. He earned first-team All-Big Ten honors by the coaches, media, BTN.com and ESPN.com.
Mauti was the only Big Ten player ranked in the top 10 in the conference in tackles (7th, 96), interceptions (4th, 3) and forced fumbles (3rd, 3). He also led the Big Ten in interception return yards (125). Mauti had 4.0 TFL, 2.5 sacks (--25), three interceptions, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and two pass break-ups.
The former Mandeville High School All-American started the initial 11 games this season, suffering a knee injury in the first quarter vs. Indiana on Nov. 17 that ended his season. Mauti was selected the Nittany Lions' 2012 Outstanding Senior Player.

For the third time this season and sixth time in her career, Stetson University senior Meredith Owen (Jackson, Miss.) has been named the Atlantic Sun Conference Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced on Monday.
Owen went 2-0 with a 0.35 ERA last week in a pair of Atlantic Sun Conference victories over Lipscomb. She tossed a six-hit shutout on Friday, allowing just one runner to reach third base and retiring the final seven batters in a row for her seventh shutout of the year.
Her complete-game, 13-inning effort Saturday, however, was one the most remarkable performances in her career. With international tiebreak rules in effect, Owen pitched out of second-and-third, no-out situations in both the 11th and 12th innings, and then she worked out of a second-and-third, one-out situation in the 13th without allowing a single to run to score. For the game, she held the Bisons to just 1-for-17 with runners in scoring position and 0-for-12 in two-out situations. She threw 157 pitches and allowed just one hit in extra innings, a bunt single. The Hatters won the game in the bottom of the 13th inning, securing a key series win in the hunt for the No. 2 seed for the A-Sun tournament.
For the week, Owen held the Bisons, one of the top hitting teams in the conference, to a .176 batting average over 20 innings of work. She lowered her ERA to an NCAA-best 0.73, and her 19 wins leads the Atlantic Sun.
Owen is now tied with Erica Demers (2006-09) for the most Pitcher of the Week awards in school history with six.
The Hatters (31-9) will visit UCF (33-14) at 6 p.m. Tuesday night.

Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 2.8/15 ZF.2 Nikon
Further readings for the Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 2.8/15 ZF.2 Nikon
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
In Part 2 of "Best lenses for the Nikon D750" we're looking at the performance of primes on Nikon's latest full-frame DSLR. We've analyzed over 60 fixed-focal-length lenses on the D750, including Nikon's own Nikkor brand and third-party alternatives. Covering focal lengths from 14mm through to 600mm, the scores include some of the best results our technicians have ever recorded.
In this second installment of lens recommendations for the Nikon D810, we've been analyzing the best performing models for landscape and wildlife photography. Admittedly when it comes to fast-paced photography there are better choices in Nikon's range but there's always a case for high-resolution imagery but the Nikon D810 also serves to highlight the best performing models, and particularly in the longer focal lengths where it's more common (and often more practical) to use cameras with lower pixel densities.
Aimed at professional studio and landscape photographers, the full-frame 36-Mpix D800E with its modified AA filter effectively increasing resolution over the standard D800 model is the closest 35mm full-frame camera yet to rival larger formats in rendering fine detail. If you're undecided over which of the two models to choose, we've analyzed the image quality of the Nikon D800E with over 100 different lenses to discover how well this groundbreaking camera performs.
Following on from the lens recommendations for the earlier full-frame Nikon D600, we've now had the opportunity to assess a wide range lenses with that model's replacement, the 24-Mpix D610. We've analyzed a total of 95 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models with the D610 to assess image quality, and we've come across some unexpected results. Read on to find out more about that and which lenses perform best when paired with the camera.
Following on from our series of selecting the best lenses for the Nikon D800 with its potential for massively detailed images from the 36Mpix sensor, we've now turned our attention to that camera's younger sibling, the 24Mpix D600.
There is a very particular look available to photographers who have a 'Super-Wide-angle' lens in their gadget bag, a 'look' that puts a whole new perspective on things. To get it you really need something quite extreme. Nikon do it, Canon do it, indeed most of the camera makers do it, but so do some of the independent lens makers. Of these who does it best? And do you get what you pay for?

About a year ago, I adopted a husky-shepherd mix from the Truckee Humane Society. She's a great companion, but her biggest fault is that she's dog-aggressive.
Trying to be a responsible dog owner, I leash her whenever we go for walks in order to avoid confrontations. The other night, two off-leash dogs charged us and attacked. Not wanting to see my dog ripped apart, I did everything in my power to wrench the two dogs off of her.
The owner, who did nothing to call them off or intervene, stormed up to me and threatened severe bodily harm for touching his dogs. The threat left me shaken, disturbed and scared.
It's time to start a reasonable discussion about dog ownership in our town. Part of what makes Truckee great is its love of canine companions, but the level of disrespect I've seen for people with leashed dogs is disheartening. I have encountered dog owners who immediately recall their dogs when they see me with a leashed dog, but they are the exception to the rule.
Most people let their dogs run right up to mine, then get angry when my dog lunges at them. So this is my plea to those of you lucky enough to have dogs that can be allowed off-leash - please, understand that those of us with leashed dogs have them restrained for very important reasons, and we need your help to maintain the peace between our dogs and yours.
Let's keep Truckee the dog-friendly town that we all love, and strive to respect each other's needs.
