Next year's Senate campaign is already underway in West Virginia, and a leading Democratic candidate is criticizing President Barack Obama's policies on coal.
The industry has found itself in a fight for its survival. But the outlook is grim as the United States reduces its dependence on coal to the lowest level in decades.
According to government estimates, the U.S. will close a record number of coal-fired power plants over the next three years, choosing instead to use more renewable energy sources.
Coal's share of U.S. electricity generation sank to a record low of 37 percent last year, down from 50 percent in 2005 - and the future looks even bleaker.
But in places like Mingo County, W. Va., coal still pays the bills.
"That's our career, that's our hope, that's our future," coal miner Brandon Sammons said.
West Virginia is the country's second-largest coal producer. But as the demand continues to decline, thousands of miners and workers from Appalachia to Wyoming connected to the coal industry are losing their jobs.
"It's scary, it really is," one resident said. "It's something that affects everybody one way or the other. You know you go to your kids baseball games and people can't enjoy their family time, their time with their kids because the whole talk of the town is actually about a lay off or about a job shutting down. It doesn't just affect the person individually, it affects everyone."
William Raney, president of the West Virginia Coal Association, said clean coal technology isn't being given a chance.
"Improvements are absolutely remarkable," he said. "You never hear about those. You hear about the continued global warming and those kinds of things."
"It's got a long history and people rely on that history to refer to it as a dirty fossil fuel," he continued. "And you do, you get your hands black when you touch it, and it's dusty."
"But we've learned how to control the dust and you know we're getting better every day at that," Raney said. "The power plants the emissions are down so substantially with increased coal use over the last three decades."
Even so, Obama is put fighting climate change on his priority list. And according to the White House, that means coal has to go. That also means more than 5,000 coal jobs in the United States could be lost in just two years.

The beginning of Rutgers true freshman quarterback Gary Nova's first career start couldn't have been more inauspicious.
On his first pass, Nova missed a wide-open Joe Martinek on a dump-off pass in the flat on his second play from scrimmage. He then short-armed a screen pass to Martinek in the face of a blitz on third down.
On his second series, he missed an open Mohamed Sanu. Later, there was a fumbled exchange from center Caleb Ruch that was recovered by the Panthers and he was a dreadful 4-of-11 for 57 yards in the first half.
Clearly, the former Don Bosco Prep was experiencing growing pains.
"The first half, I just had to trust the (pass) protection a little bit better," Nova said. "I was a little too excited. I had to calm down and take what the defense was giving me. Some plays I started rolling out when I was suppose to stay in the pocket.
"I was just not trusting the protection. Coach (offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti) always says trust your training. But I did a good job bouncing back in the second half."
Coach Greg Schiano said he thought about turning to sophomore Chas Dodd after intermission, but he stuck with Nova and the Scarlet Knights' defense turned in a gem to help spark a 34-10 victory over Pittsburgh today at High Point Solutions Stadium.
Nova completed 11 of 24 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns, including a perfectly executed 60-yard screen pass for a touchdown to Martinek. He was sacked once.
"There were some rough stretches and there were some good stretches," said Schiano, who refused to name a starter next week against Navy. "The one thing you can see from Gary is that he's not overwhelmed by anything."
If the Scarlet Knights (4-1, 2-0 in the Big East) keep playing defense like they have — the unit had four interceptions and leads the nation in takeaways (22) and added six sacks to raise their total to 20 — Nova could learn on the job. Dodd, however, appears to be the safer choice.
On the first series of the third quarter, Nova had a second bad exchange with Ruch. The Scarlet Knights recovered but Nova appeared in jeopardy of being benched.
But he wasn't and came back two series later to throw a 6-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Mark Harrison on a well-placed lob pass in the corner to give the Scarlet Knights a 13-3 lead with 6:12 remaining in the third quarter. The score was set up by an interception by linebacker Steve Beauharnais that gave Rutgers a first down on the Pitt 18-yard line.
"I had a one-on-one there," Nova said. "Mark and I were laughing. I looked over there, he looked at me and I kind of gave him a smirk and I threw it up there."
Late in the quarter, Nova made perhaps his best play. On a third-and-9 from the 40-yard line, Nova anticipated a blitz, got one and patiently hit Martinek in right flat. Spun by a block from wide receiver Quron Pratt, Martinek raced 60 yards for the score and a 20-3 lead with 24 seconds left in the quarter.
"They were blitzing, bringing the house on third down every time," Nova said. "It was a great call by coach Cignetti."
The special teams and defense then took the Scarlet Knights home.

One of the first steps in your Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) implementation project is to compare your current system to the requirements of the OHSAS 18001 standard. This is most commonly called a Gap Analysis. It is important to understand what the Gap Analysis involves, and what information it will provide.
The most important tool for the Gap Analysis is the Gap Analysis Checklist. This is a list of the requirements in the standard, written in question format. The Implementation Team will use this list to compare the system that is in place with the standard requirements. The checklist provides the team with recommendations of what documents to look for, examples of what will meet the requirements and other guidance on creating an OHSMS that meets the standard. It becomes the roadmap of your project - telling you what areas of your existing system need revision. The implementation team now knows where to focus their efforts.
You should use the completed checklist to make task lists for the implementation plan. For each section of the standard you will want to prepare a list of items that need to be implemented, redesigned or documented.
The team must be familiar with the standard in order to perform an effective audit. If your team has not been trained on the OHSAS 18001 requirements, be sure to provide training before performing the gap analysis.
Scheduling the Gap
Summarize the audit findings in the form of a task list. You will usually identify several categories of tasks:
When the gap analysis has been completed, meet with the team to summarize the results:

1894 Birth Born on July 10, 1894.
1928 33 Years Old As impressive as these master lyricists were, perhaps McHugh's best symbiotic musical relationship was with the school teacher and poet Dorothy Fields.(ASCAP) Since he had written material for many of Harlem's Cotton Club revues, it would be no coincidence that their first combined success would be the score for the all-black Broadway musical Blackbirds of 1928 starring Adelaide Hall and Bill Bojangles Robinson, which jump-started the fledgling duo's career with the memorable songs "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," "Diga Diga Doo" and "I Must Have That Man."(ASCAP) … Read More
1930 36 Years Old In the artistically fruitful years after they first collaborated in 1930, McHugh and Fields wrote over 30 songs for the film world.

1948 54 Years Old For the 1948 film, A Date with Judy, he composed "It's a Most Unusual Day" for Jane Powell; it became the young singer and actress' signature tune. (She was still performing it as recently as 2010 — aged 81 — when she sang the song at the Hollywood Bowl, accompanied by Pink Martini, the 13-member "little orchestra"). … Read More

When my family went to the Humane Society I found my owner before she found me. When she looked at me she noticed that I was a very sick cat and if no one adopted me I would be put to sleep. They said I would only last about 2-3 years, but Mom insisted on having me. So they inspected our home and I got to live at the best house any cat could have. I've been here for 8 years and going strong!

The real meat and potatos is here ;P
It's amazing how many people you meet who think like this on the internet
Two words for you, Pens Fans. Kansas City.
So this guy brings football talk onto a hockey board?? Genius! I guess whever you can't win the argument change the subject, and make fun of the person you are talking to. And let's slow up on making fun of the sad state of the greater Detroit area. Maybe he should check his own town out. It's not like Pittsburgh is considered to be one of the most beatiful cities in the country. It's a freaking steeltown, it's just as blue collar as Detroit, so keep your stones in your pockets. And let's not forget that the whole Finals were set up perfect for the "young Penguins". The "old" Wings had to play back to back games to start the series after going 7 games in a physical battle with the Ducks, while the Hurricanes just layed on their backs and took it for 4 games from the Pens so the Pens could get some rest. If you lose, you lose. If you win, you win. Losing fans love to always find the best excuses. Series isn't over yet.
Posted 07 June 2009 - 11:28 PM
Great. Now I have that stuck in my head and I can't get it out.
Pit fans whine about Detroit. Detroit fans whine about Pit's players.
Let's hope we meet with someone else in next year's final. We need some variety. The change will be on our side, though. It seems no matter who we play, they mock our city and the Lions since there isn't anything else bad to say about the Wings.
Afterthought: I just realized I called Detroit "our city" even though I've never been there. I hope that doesn't offend any actual Detroiters.
RIP MicMichSteve. I was fortunate to have called you my friend.
Posted 07 June 2009 - 11:44 PM
Oh yeah, half a game out of last place. 14 straight losing seasons and counting. Not even the Lions are that bad.
That original post talks about great fan support, but it appears the Pirates have been in the bottom 5 in NL attendance every year since 1981. They were last in the top 5 in NL attendance way back in 1972 (5th).

Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) F15-SG and F16D+ aircraft are displayed during the Singapore Airshow yesterday.
SINGAPORE: Airbus claimed bragging rights as the Asia-Pacific's dominant aircraft supplier yesterday, saying the region's fast growing economies and rising passenger demand will continue to drive demand over the next 20 years.
The European planemaker said that in 2013, it won 80 percent of all new business in the Asia-Pacific with 379 firm orders. It also delivered 331 new aircraft, or over half of all new planes that entered into service with the region's airlines, it added.
Speaking at the Singapore Airshow, senior executives from the European planemaker added that they were optimistic about more orders from the region's full-service carriers and budget airlines despite ongoing concerns about the health of emerging markets, many of which are located in the Asia-Pacific.
"The message from me is very clear. This (Asia-Pacific) is where the action will be for the industry in the coming years," Fabrice Bregier, head of Airbus planemaking division, said at a news conference.
There is demand for 11,000 aircraft worth $1.8 trillion in the 20 years to 2032, said Airbus. The total fleet size is expected to more than double to over 12,130 jets, based on average annual traffic growth of 5.8 percent and replacement of nearly 3,770 aircraft in service today, it added. Boeing projected similar figures yesterday.
Growing urbanisation means that 25 of the 89 mega cities in 2032 will be in Asia-Pacific, where there will also be 90 cities with more than one million passengers, said the company. China will also overtake the United States as the world's largest domestic airline market by 2032, said Airbus sales chief John Leahy.
"There is no doubting the importance of the Asia-Pacific market both today and in the future," he added.
Even though airlines from the emerging markets account for an increasingly large portion of its order book, Bregier said that he is not too concerned about the current worries about that market segment. Airbus is also looking for more partnerships with companies in the region, said Bregier.
In China, where the company has a final assembly line in Tianjin for the current generation of the A320 family of aircraft, he added there remains the possiblity of assembling the upgraded re-engined A320 neo variant.
Airbus has also been promoting a "regional" variant of its A330 widebody aircraft, which it says will suit services between high-demand slot-restricted airports in countries like China.

A La Crescenta, Calif., church that broke away from the Episcopal denomination is forfeiting its property to the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles. A California judge handed down the decision and the state supreme court has refused an appeal. The congregation of St. Luke's Anglican Church voted to leave the national church three years ago and join the New Anglican Church in North America.
In his sermon Sunday, the Rev. Rob Holman said fighting for principles is more important than a building.
Approximately 200 breakaway Episcopal churches are currently fighting to keep their property. St. James Church in Newport Beach recently lost a bid to have the U.S. Supreme Court hear its case. However, many observers predict the high court will eventually take up the issue.

Course Descriptions
ACLS Provider Course
Through the ACLS course, providers will enhance their skills in the treatment of the
adult victim of a cardiac arrest or other cardiopulmonary emergencies. ACLS emphasizes
the importance of basic life support CPR to patient survival; the integration of
effective basic life support with advanced cardiovascular life support interventions;
and the importance of effective team interaction and communication during resuscitation.
ACLS is based on simulated clinical scenarios that encourage active, hands-on participation through learning stations where students will practice essential skills individually, as part of a team, and as team leader. Realistic simulations reinforce the following key concepts: proficiency in basic life support care; recognizing and initiating early management of peri-arrest conditions; managing cardiac arrest; identifying and treating ischemic chest pain and acute coronary syndromes; recognizing other life-threatening clinical situations (such as stroke) and providing initial care; ACLS algorithms; and effective resuscitation team dynamics.
BLS-HCP Course
The BLS Healthcare Provider Course is designed to provide a wide variety of healthcare professionals the ability to recognize several life-threatening emergencies, provide CPR, use an AED, and relieve choking in a safe, timely and effective manner. The course is intended for certified or noncertified, licensed or non-licensed healthcare professionals.
ACLS/BLS-HCP Renewal Course (classroom course)
The ACLS/BLS Provider courses must be renewed every 2 years. This renewal class gives ACLS/BLS-HCP providers updated information and current AHA standards of performance. The provider completing this course is issued a card good for 2 years.
ACLS/BLS-HCP Self-directed Learning and Skills Testing Renewal Course
The ACLS/BLS Provider courses must be renewed every 2 years. This renewal class gives ACLS/BLS-HCP
providers updated information and current AHA standards of performance.

The self directed portion of the exam will require six to eight hours to complete and the skills testing portion of the exam will take about an hour. The provider completing this course is issued a card good for 2 years.

The Green Wave boys clinched their fourth straight Region 8-AAAA championship with a 63-46 win over Ashley Ridge Tuesday.
Summerville improved to 18-5 on the season with an 8-1 mark in region play. With three region losses each, Fort Dorchester, Beaufort and Bluffton are the closest teams to Summerville in the standings so the Green Waves final game against Fort Dorchester will have no bearing on the region championship but will help determine which team finishes as the region runner-up.
Winning four straight is a big accomplishment, Summerville coach Greg Elliott said. The biggest thing is weve got a group of players who love the gym. None of them misses practice or ever complains and that dedication paid off. And of course John Jenkins is a scoring machine. I think he is the Region Player of the Year and Im not just saying that because he plays for us.
Jenkins, who is nearing the 1,000 career points bench mark, led all scorers at Ashley Ridge with 31 points. Center Christian Kalacanic added 10 points for Summerville while Timmy Singleton added 7.
Sean White led the Swamp Foxes with 13 points while Raekwon Jones added 11 points and Tyquan Tucker added 10.
We had a slow start and Ashley Ridge came out excited and played very well before they cooled off later in the game, Elliott said. We played well except for the first eight minutes. They hung in there and didnt really let us go up by more than 7 or 8 for a long time before we were able to pull away at the end.
Tucker and Don Smith both hit 3-point shots in the opening period to help the Swamp Foxes take a 15-9 lead into the second. Then Jenkins found his grove and scored 9 points in the second to help Summerville to a 28-22 halftime lead.
White scored 7 of his points in the third, but Kalacanic had four buckets for Summerville. The final period started off well for Ashley Ridge, but Jenkins provided some key buckets and Summerville hit 11 free throws in the fourth.
Summervilles final game against the Fort was originally scheduled for Thursday, but school was cancelled that day due to weather.
The game will be played at 8 p.m. Feb. 17 at SHS.
The playoff brackets arent out yet, but the most likely scenario is that the Green Wave will host Stratford in the first round.
Ashley Ridge (46): Sean White 13, Raekwon Jones 11, Tyquan Tucker 10, Jenkins 4, Landers 2, King 1, Smith 5.
Summerville (63): John Jenkins 31, Christian Kalacanic 10, Singleton 7, Robinson 5, Palmer 6, Wilkerson 4.
Ashley Ridge 15 7 13 11-46
Summerville 9 19 15 21-63

Alex Stenback is a Twin Cities mortgage banker who does a lot of work in local media. He has a post up on his site today with some good advice: If you're a state employee who's lost her job, even temporarily, in the shutdown, call your lender and explain the situation.
"We are fielding lots of calls and emails about whether this will negatively impact real estate closings, and especially, loan approvals for those who have been laid off as a result of the shutdown," Stenback writes on his blog.
"Bottom Line." he writes, "If you are a state employee, or employed by a private company that may lay you off as a result of the government shutdown, check with your lender."

2. Get Your Provisions
Having a sufficient food and water supply(among many other things) is a very important element of survival, not only for emergencies, but also to protect against job loss, injury or illness.

May 4: A "scruffy" looking man in a dark jacket tried to pass a counterfeit $20 bill at the Woodinville McDonald's on 140th NE, at 7:30 p.m. The man passed it to the teller at the drive-in window. The alert teller, aware of a counterfeit warning, asked the customer to pull forward, park, and wait for his order to be brought out. The customer pulled up, but fled the scene without his change or food.
April 23: A 22-year-old Seattle man attempted to cash a check, made out to him for $762.35 from Fleet Delivery Service, at a US Bank. He did not have an account there, so he stamped the back of the check with his thumbprint. A phone call to the business revealed that the check was bogus. The young man admitted to police that he thought the check was a fake because a man offered him 40% of the cash if he cashed it successfully. Suspect was booked into King County Jail. US Bank has recently had several attempts to cash bogus checks from real businesses that were created and printed with make-your-own-check computer software.

To the Editor:—
I was greatly pleased that in your editorial in The Journal June 20 you were kind enough to make reference to my mortality in the handling of the late suppurative appendicitis cases. This reference, however, is misleading in that it fails to make clear the fundamental principle for which contention was made. In season and out of season, for over thirty years, I have been insisting by both precept and example that the secret of the mortality in appendicitis lies in the application of the principle of deferred operation to the late cases of suppurative appendiceal peritonitis: not the early perforations but the cases seen for the first time on the third, fourth or fifth day of the acute spreading peritonitis. This, of course, is simply a faithful carrying out of the principles that Ochsner enunciated and insisted on.At the annual session of the American Medical

For a series that primarily competes on ovals, a road-course race certainly brings unique twists to Sprint Cup Series races. Some fans love the two-race diversion that is part of the 36-race schedule. Others just can't get into racing with right turns.
So what should fans expect Sunday at the 1.99-mile Sonoma Raceway, where drivers will race for 110 laps in the Toyota/Save Mart 350?
MORE: Lineup breakdown | McMurray on the pole | Picks | Photos
Pitting under green
Teams most likely will set their pit strategy before the race even starts. It is possible to do the race on two pit stops, but a driver must be fast enough to have a cushion on those who do it on three stops because of tire falloff.
The drivers could have a pre-determined lap they will pit on no matter the situation. The key is not to lose a lap by doing a fuel stop, which shouldn't be too much of a problem at a track where the lap times are 74 seconds.
Drivers saving fuel
That occurs at several ovals, too, but it's more of a delicate maneuver on road courses. One of the most common ways to save fuel to cut the engine on and off. But as Marcos Ambrose learned, a driver can't afford to have his car stall and not get re-fired. Ambrose's car stalled as he was going uphill in 2010, costing him the race.
Drivers wrecking each other
As drivers talked about Friday, the course lends itself to contact. The tight turns. The intense braking. Different pit strategies that put faster cars behind slower ones. And then there's the high probability of mistakes — drivers wheel-hop and run into others or just slide into the car on the outside. The only thing as certain as drivers turning each other are the apologies that will flow afterward.
Cars getting airborne, sorta
The key is for drivers to keep the cars on the race track when they compete on road courses. They don't want to get in the grass and possibly tear up the front end of their car.
But the fastest way to get around the track is to use some of the curbs. As the drivers go through some of the turns, they will get the cars airborne on at least two wheels as they cut over the curbs.
It is a crazy way to race — hit the curb on purpose. But that's exactly what the drivers do to go fast.
Caution dilemmas
Drivers are going to get off course and NASCAR will try not to throw the caution until they can determine whether the driver can get the car moving. But even if the car gets moving, NASCAR will have a decision to make depending on the amount of grass and dirt that the car drags on the track. Because race control can't see the entire track, NASCAR officials will rely on the monitors it has in the booth and its officials stationed around the course to look for debris.

J. K. Carriere Wines
From the winery:
"Our winery is rustic. It has the patina of years, the truth of age. This 100-year-old structure on the grounds of the historic Springbrook Hazelnut Farm Bed & Breakfast was once a hazelnut drying barn; it now operates as our winery. It's somehow more than a real barn. It's beyond wine barrels and an ethereal sculpture. It goes further than presiding over a beautiful natural setting. It's Oregon."
"Our winemaker came to winemaking through the cellars of eight great Pinot producers in Oregon, New Zealand, Australia and Burgundy and is guided by three principles. One, think about pinot as food and remain mindful of the acidity that allows the pairing. Two, from the vineyard to the bottle all decisions are made on taste and personal experience, as opposed to lab results or someone else's focus group. Three, the winemaking must be backed by hard science to ensure a clean, competent and ageable experience for our customers."
More About J. K. Carriere Wines
"The wines are built at the knife-edge of maximum taste and balance utilizing wild yeast ferments, wild malo-lactic, no fining, no filtering. Blocks are kept separate and when stable, just as in Burgundy, we blend. Or more correctly, ponder it. If it's both complete and head-and-shoulders above, we consider single-vineyard status. Otherwise it's on to six weeks of rigorous blending trials and best vs. best comparisons whereby we strive for the ultimate net-sum-gain, our Willamette Valley Pinot Noir."

I'll be at the state Capitol tomorrow morning and throughout the 2010 legislative session. But here are a few notes from the session kickoff "Wild Hog" shin-dig next to the state Capitol tonight ...
Proposals to broaden Georgia's concealed carry laws have been getting some press, and a bill is in a House subcommittee. But I don't know how much appetite, to use Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle's word from last year, there is to change the laws.
Senate President Pro Tem Tommie Williams said tonight that no one has talked to him about changing the rules, which perhaps is not surprising, since it's a House initiative.
Update: I was neglectful here. State Sen. Mitch Seabough also has a gun bill.
But soon-to-be House Speaker Pro Tem Jan Jones said she'd rather leave the laws as they are.
"I'm a great supporter of Georgians being able to protect themselves," she said. "I'm pretty comfortable with our current gun laws. We've got some really big challenges this year. ... That's what's going to take my attention this year. .. We've got to put first things first this session."
That doesn't mean she's necessarily speaking for the House leadership, though. It's hard to say what those dynamics will be.
Update: Freshly minted Speaker David Ralston's seat in the House had been next to state Rep. Tim Bearden, who is pushing for these concealed carry changes. But Speaker Ralston said he hasn't discussed the proposals with Bearden. Asked what chance they have for passage, Ralston said: "I'm not sure where that's going to land in the priorities this year."
State Rep. Allen Peake, R-Macon, said he's going to drop a bill soon to outlaw texting while driving, regardless of age. It will probably be messed with an effort to limit the ban to teenage drivers, he said. Peake said he got a call one day from a guy who had seen him pass on the interstate (Peake, like other legislators, has a state plate with his district number on it) texting. The guy told Peake he was a bad example and "he was right," Peake said.
Everyone I spoke to agreed a transportation funding solution would be found this session. Speaker to be David Ralston said it would be a priority, along with the state budget and changing the House's rules to "promote floor debate" in the first few weeks of the session.
But no one seemed to know, or to be willing to say, just what it will look like. Sen. Williams said "the governor has some ideas," and until he weighs in Williams said he couldn't give hard details.
H.R. 1 and other property tax reforms are coming back. So is the effort to do away with the annual ad valorem tax on vehicles.
Secretary of Education Kathy Cox said she doesn't know whether to expect more teacher furloughs. She said the governor's office is playing things close to the vest on the budget. She did say that several changes are in the offing to give local systems more flexibility. That includes waiving class size regulations, which of course means you need fewer teachers.
Said Cox: "The legislature has to help with class sizes."

We then evaluated functional enzyme expression in E. coli (enzyme provided by Evocatal). Expression in rich TB media and synthetic WR media containing 20 g/L glucose revealed that cultivation in Duran baffled flasks was better than that in classical Duran Erlenmeyer flasks. In the latter ones the lower oxygen-transfer capacity led to a higher formation of acidic byproducts.
In synthetic WR media, the pH value decreased very fast below a pH of 5, as a result cell growth was inhibited. With Duran baffled flasks, higher cell densities were obtained because of slower and reduced acidification in the culture broth. The metabolization of complex compounds in rich TB media results in rising pH value during cultivation subsequent to consumption of glycerol as the main carbon source. In classical Duran Erlenmeyer flasks a higher rate of acidic byproduct formation can be observed by a slower rate of pH increase.
The better oxygen-transfer conditions exhibited with Duran baffled flasks can also be observed in higher expression of the target enzyme. Activities in WR medium differ by one order of magnitude because cells cultivated in Erlenmeyer flasks are faced with an acidic surrounding, which prevents growth and significant product formation.
Further study was conducted by using FIT fed-batch media (synthetic and complex formulation) both in Duran baffled flasks and Duran Erlenmeyer flasks.
The maximum applicable glucose feeding rate is dependent on the oxygen-transfer capacity of the bioreactor vessel. With this in mind, two concentrations of glucose-releasing enzyme were investigated. As shown in Figure 2, both glucose feeding rates could be realized in Duran baffled flasks. For the higher glucose release rate (1.5% enzyme) in the classical Erlenmeyer flasks, however, the culture was not able to consume the total fed glucose due to limited oxygen in these flasks.
As a result, glucose accumulated in the broth, and cells switched to an overflow metabolism and started to produce acidic byproducts. As a consequence the pH value quickly dropped to a growth-inhibiting value of 5. In addition, productivity was dramatically decreased under these conditions.
In Duran baffled flasks the cells experienced a higher oxygen supply and, therefore, they were able to consume the fed glucose at the same rate as it was released for the higher release rate with 1.5% enzyme. Consequently, this led to faster generation of biomass (=50 OD600 after 24 hours) and higher target enzyme expression.
When comparing enzyme expression in batch and fed-batch mode, the target enzyme exhibited greater activity in fed-batch fermentation, and the proportion of active product to inactive product was improved. This means that the growth-limiting glucose feeding in FIT fed-batch medium improves the overall product formation and also produces more active protein in the soluble fraction.
The addition of complex components to the culture medium is normally advantageous for protein expression and cell growth, hence the supplementation of peptones to the FIT fed-batch medium was also studied. A plant peptone was added to the medium at the beginning of the fermentation and also after induction. The results of this experiment in complex FIT fed-batch medium and the influence of the applied shake flask geometry is presented in Figure 3. Again here, two glucose release rates were tested.
The results demonstrated the superiority of a Duran baffled flask over a classical Erlenmeyer flask. Biomass concentrations in the range of OD600 50 could be reached in the Duran baffled flask and very high enzyme expression levels could be found in SDS-PAGE. The Erlenmeyer flask led only to biomass concentrations between 30 and 40. The achieved enzyme expression for the lower glucose release rate (1.0% enzyme) is still remarkable, but the enzyme expression for the higher glucose release rate (1.5% enzyme) is disappointing.
The cells could not consume the total released glucose with the higher feeding rate (1.5% enzyme) due to the limited oxygen supply in the Erlenmeyer flask. Therefore, the cells produced organic acids and the pH value dropped rapidly below pH 5. Under these conditions the E. coli cells were no longer able to produce high levels of enzyme.
The addition of plant peptone to the FIT fed-batch medium showed that enzyme expression can be improved dramatically, which can be seen in SDS-PAGE. The measured enzyme activities confirmed these findings by an increase of 400% in activity (Figure 3 versus Figure 2).
The results of these studies demonstrated clearly that fed-batch mode is superior to a simple batch mode. Addition of a plant peptone to synthetic fed-batch medium improved the enzyme expression and activity. Use of the baffled shake flask from Duran showed that higher kLa values could be measured and that better and more reproducible results in microbial batch and fed-batch fermentations could be achieved as compared to the classical Erlenmeyer flask.
The combination of FIT fed-batch media and Duran baffled shake flasks now allows the study of microbial fed-batch fermentations with a broad range of different linear feeding rates without running into strong oxygen limitations. In conclusion, the efforts for bioprocess development in stirred tank bioreactors can be reduced and more valuable studies can the transferred to the smaller scale. The presented new shake flask and fed-batch medium enables bioprocessors to generate more knowledge at the early stage and thus, promise to speed up bioprocess development in the near future.

text: Explore Mumbai Colaba Kala Ghoda and around Fort Central Bazaar District Marine Drive Malabar Hill Central Mumbai: Mahalakshmi to Byculla Gorai Elephanta Share Film is massive in India. The country produces around 1200 movies annually, half of them in the studios of north Mumbai. Known as "Bollywood", the home of the All-India cinema industry has experienced a sea change over the past decade, as its output has started to reach mass audiences of expat Indians in Europe and North America. The resulting global revenues have financed much higher production standards and a completely new approach to plot, acting styles and scripts – rendering redundant the old cinematic stereotypes of the so-called "masala format", which dominated Indian film for decades. Big song-and-dance numbers still very much have their place in the modern Bollywood blockbuster, as does melodrama. But the overall tone these days tends to be much more sophisticated, with glamorous foreign locations, more plausible story lines, cutting-edge camera work and even state-of-the-art CGI deployed to wow cinemagoers at home and abroad. Whereas in the past, hit movies tended to incorporate a bit of everything – romance, laughs, fight scenes, chases, lurid baddies, a set of instantly recognizable stock characters and convoluted plots that emphasized traditional values – now the industry is making big bucks from more nuanced genre flicks. The four highest grossing movies of the past decade were a feel-good comedy (3 Idiots; 2009), a dark psychological thriller (Ghajini; 2008); an action movie (Don 2; 2011) and a sci-fi superhero blockbuster (Ra I; 2011) – all radical departures from the Bollywood mainstream. Some elements, however, remain consistent. Not even the most serious Indian movie can do without at least two or three "item numbers" – the set-piece song-and-dance sequences that give all hit films their essential anthems. And the cult of the Bollywood star shows no sign of abating. A-listers in the industry enjoy almost god-like status (only the country's top cricketers come close to matching their exalted mass appeal). Images of the current heartthrobs appear everywhere, from newspapers to cheesy TV ads. At the top of the heap stands the veteran, white-bearded eminence grise of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan, whose record-breaking career as a screen hero saw a startling revival in the 2000s after he came out of de facto retirement to host India's version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, called KBC (Kaun Banega Crorepati). Only a notch behind him comes rival Shah Rukh Khan, the smouldering lead of countless romantic blockbusters and the man the Los Angeles Times dubbed "the world's biggest movie star" in 2011. In box office terms, however, neither the Big B nor SRK can these days claim the appeal of Aamir Khan, the actor-director-producer behind hits such as Lagaan and 3 Idiots – the latter the highest grossing Indian movie of all time. Other leading men of the moment include John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan and Bollywood bad boy, Salman Khan. Not surprisingly in such an image-obsessed industry, female leads tend to have a shorter shelf life than their male counterparts, although contemporary starlets such as Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor are tackling increasingly demanding roles in an attempt to prove themselves as serious actresses. Even so, their off-screen antics and romantic dalliances continue to capture more attention than their acting skills, as do any public appearance of India's biggest celebrity couple, star actor Abhishek Bachchan (son of Amitabh) and his wife Aishwarya Rai. A former Miss World whose extreme beauty and svelte figure are often credited as spearheading the crossover of Bollywood into Western cinemas, Aishwarya has maintained her great popularity despite having had her first child in 2011. The career trajectory of Bollywood actresses has tended to be downwards after marriage (the assumption being that Indian audiences aren't prepared to accept a married woman, or even worse, a mother, as a romantic heroine). But with two other Bollywood queens – Madhuri Dixit Nene and Karisma Kapoor –making comebacks after starting a family, the times may well be changing. Read More

'American Teacher' to be screened on island
The Teacher Salary Project and the Bainbridge Schools Foundation will present "American Teacher," a definitive look at the state of teaching in America that offers a solution to the education crisis, at three screenings later this month.
The film will be show at 5 p.m. Sunday, March 25 at Bainbridge Cinemas; 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 27 at Bainbridge High School/LGI; and 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 28 at Bainbridge High School/LGI.
The feature-length documentary, narrated by Matt Damon, was produced and directed by Academy Award–winning filmmaker Vanessa Roth with producer Nínive Calegari, co-founder of the literacy non-profit 826 National, and best-selling author Dave Eggers.
The film chronicles the stories of four teachers - Erik Benner, Jonathan Dearman, Jamie Fidler and Rhena Jasey - who live and work in disparate urban and rural areas of the country. By following these teachers as they reach different milestones in their careers, the film tells the deeper story of the teaching profession in America today.
Based on the New York Times best-selling book, "Teachers Have It Easy: The Big Sacrifices and Small Salaries of America's Teachers," the film is an endeavor of The Teacher Salary Project, a nonprofit organization offering an interactive online resource and a national outreach campaign to change how teachers are valued in our society.
Calegari, one of the film's producers, will also be the guest at the annual spring breakfast for the Bainbridge Schools Foundation.
The breakfast is 8 to 9:30 a.m. Thursday, April 19 at the Wing Point Golf & Country Club. Reservations can be made at bsfspringbreakfast.eventbrite.com.

HAMILTON — Watching the Allentown High School football team yesterday was like going to see the revival of a Broadway classic — the script was the same and so was the ending, it was just done with an entirely new cast.
Nine different players — most of them in significant roles for the first time in their high school careers — handled the football for the Redbirds, but it was still Allentown football at its finest — patient, opportunistic, methodical, and ultimately, victorious.
Daivone Thomas, one of the few holdover starters from last year's divisional championship team, scored twice and the Allentown defense pitched a shutout until the final 79 seconds in a 28-7 win over Steinert in the season-opener for both teams.
"What I was happy about was the way we finished drives in the second half," said Allentown head coach Jay Graber. "We had a lot of new guys who were excited about playing."
Unlike the team that elevated Allentown football to unheard of heights the previous two seasons, the 2013 Redbirds get strength from numbers. It may take four or five backs to do what graduated Norman Williams could have done by himself last season, or two and three quarterbacks to equal the things Nick Palladino would have accomplished at quarterback, but Allentown still got the job done.
"We feel like we picked up right where those guys (last year's seniors) left off," said Allentown quarterback Dean Apostolico, who ran for 43 yards and passed for 65 yards in his first start. "They paved the way, but it's our turn now.
"Once we got acclimated, we played hard-nosed Allentown football."
Apostolico threw an interception on the game's first play, but the Redbirds held onto it for dear life the rest of the way. The only other real blemish on the Allentown effort was the nine penalties for 50 yards.
"The ball is the most important thing," said running back Jake Alessi, who raced 34 yards untouched for the first of three, off-tackle touchdowns by the Redbirds. "We're a very different team from the one last year, but we play together well."
In the second half, seven different Redbirds ran the football. Allentown rushed 20 times for 147 yards in the second half and 179 yards overall. The final drive took 6:33 off the clock.
"I thought our line was on top of things the entire game," Alessi said. "I thought it was just a matter of time before we broke it open."
Allentown took advantage of a Steinert miscue to score the game's first points.
The Spartans attempted a running punt, but the kick was shanked and traveled only five yards.
Starting from the Steinert 17, Allentown needed three plays to punch it in. Thomas, a 255-pound tailback, hammered in from the one with 3:52 left in the second quarter.
The Redbirds capitalized on another Steinert turnover — an interception — early in the third quarter. The pick by Allentown's Jake Morse at the Steinert 49 set up a 34-yard run by Alessi off right tackle and gave the Redbirds a 14-0 lead.
"It just opened up and I saw nothing but green," Alessi said.
Allentown made it 21-0 with 3:29 left in the third quarter when Thomas followed a kick-out block by Anthony Bliss and rumbled 11 yards for his second touchdown.
The final Redbirds scored came after a 10-play, 88-yard march. Ed Rittenhouse — running off right tackle and behind Bliss — raced 39 yards for the touchdown with 2:22 left in the game.
Steinert averted the shutout when Matt Zandomenego hauled in a 77-yard scoring strike from quarterback Chris Scordo with 1:19 left to play.
The Allentown rushing attack was paced by Rittenhouse, who carried six times for 67 yards and Alessi, who ran five times for 50 yards. Apostolico, who also played outside linebacker on defense, completed three of five passes.
For Steinert, Scordo was 8 of 23 for 137 yards — 77 of those on the late touchdown pass.
Steinert is idle next week while Allentown plays at Alta, Utah, Saturday.

The Law and Glazing
The Law and Glazing
Your legal responsibilities with regard to glazing are governed by two key areas;
- Building Regulations
- These apply to all new build and major refurbishments
- They set out minimum standards that glazing must satisfy
- The regulations cover aspects such as the energy efficiency of buildings and the safety of glazing.
- Workplace Regulations
- These apply to existing glazing in the workplace
- They cover aspects such as glazing safety, thermal comfort and shading
- The regulations covering safety are based on the subjective assessment of risk according to building use and occupancy.
Glazing may meet the standards set out in the Building Regulations yet may not be of a sufficient standard to meet those set out in the Workplace regulations. This is because building regulations are minimum guideline standards, whereas workplace regulations are based upon the actual level of risk according to the building type, use and occupancy.
Window film can be installed to glazing to meet the minimum standards set out in the building regulations, or the extended/additional standards (based on individual risk) set out in the workplace regulations.
Building Regulations (2010)
Document L – Conservation of Fuel and Power
Document L aims to improve the energy efficiency of both new and existing buildings by prescribing maximum U Values, and also gives guidance that;
"Reasonable provision shall be made for the conservation of fuel and power in buildings by: Limiting heat gains and losses….. through thermal elements and other parts of the building fabric" (i.e. glazing)
Window film can upgrade glazing to reduce Solar Heat Gain by up to 85% - helping to satisfy the criteria above.
Document M – Access and facilities for disabled people (2004)
Part N (Covered below) required manifestation to be installed at 1500mm height to increase the safety of glazing. However this did not take into account children, small adults, and mobility vehicle riders, which breached the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (2005). Therefore a new regulation, Document M – Access to and Use of Buildings, was issued. This required greater manifestation at two height ranges, in order to protect those listed above.
Document M States that:
"People with visual impairment should be in no doubt as to the location of the glass entrance doors, especially when they are within a glazed screen. The choice of a different style of manifestation for the door and the glazed screen can help to differentiate between them.
The presence of the door should be apparent not only when it is shut but also when it is open. Where it can be held open, steps should be taken to avoid people being harmed by walking into the door."
Window film and manifestations are a flexible and inexpensive way to make glass more apparent and improve safety. They can be in the form of circles, squares, stripes or even company logos.
For more information please see our section on Manifestation and DDA Compliancy
Document N – Glazing Safety
Document N aims to improve the safety of glazing, and gives guidance that;
"Glazing, with which people are likely to come into contact whilst moving in or about the building, shall if broken on impact, break in a way which is unlikely to cause injury"
"Manifestation of glazing is necessary in critical locations in which people moving in or about the building might not be aware of the presence of glazing"
Document N specifies "critical locations" which are considered to be high risk and therefore must be upgraded according to the above. A diagram showing these locations can be seen in our Regulation 14 Section
The application of safety window film to existing glazing to upgrade it to be in accordance with EN12600 (2B2) safety standards is still the most widely used method since Regulation 14 was implemented in 1992. Safety window films are completely clear and virtually invisible when
The application of decorative window films or manifestation to glazing will help to achieve compliancy. It may be in the form of broken or solid lines, patterns, or company logos.
Workplace Regulations
Regulation 7 – Thermal comfort
Regulation 7 deals specifically with the temperature in indoor workplaces.
Window film can reduce Solar Heat Gain by up to 85% - providing a more comfortable working environment for employees. It can act as a passive control measure to help achieve compliance of Regulation 7 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
For more information please see our section on Thermal Comfort in the Workplace
Regulation 11 – Workstations
Regulation 11 deals specifically with workstations in order that they are adequate and comfortable for the employee that uses them. It states that;
"every workstation shall be so arranged that it is suitable both for any person at work in the workplace who is likely to work at that workstation and for any work of the undertaking which is likely to be done there"
"workstations should be arranged so that each task can be carried out safely and comfortably"
If glare is present on computer screens and visual display units, it could be argued that the workstation is not correctly arranged and that the employee is unable to work comfortably.
Window film can reduce Glare by up to 87% - providing a more comfortable working environment for employees.
Regulation 14 – The Safety of Glazing,
Regulation 14 is a legal obligation that requires those responsible for the glazing to undertake a risk assessment of their premises, identify areas of risk, and then;
- Reduce the likelihood of glass breakage occurrence by increasing glass visibility.
- Reduce the effects of glass breakage when it does occur by ensuring that the glass breaks safely.
For more information please see our Regulation 14 Section

Labor Tracking Tool Is Designed to Reduce C-Sections In First Time MomsCeridwen Morris
Researchers out of Ohio State have come up with a labor-tracking tool that could reduce the use of labor-inducing hormones and lower the number of c-sections among low-risk, first time moms.
The tool– a tracking tool called a partograph– gives a more realistic expectation for how labor progresses in a first time mom so that doctors are less likely to see a slow early labor as a "failure to progress" and therefore less likely to intervene. Currently, hospitals conform to expectations for labor progress set by what's called The Friedman Curve— a graph, developed some 50 years ago, that shows length of labor against centimeters dilated.
The curve shows that moms will dilate at about one centimeter per hour once in active labor. It's pretty well established at this point that the expectation of dilating a cm per hour doesn't make sense. According to the authors of this 2003 study, it's more an ideal than an average.
One consequence of this standard, however, is that if a mom doesn't meet it, she may be given labor induction hormones to speed things up. But what if she's just having a perfectly normal slow period in her labor? And now she has medication that requires monitoring and brings with it an increased risk of c-section? Up to 50% of first time moms receive pitocin to speed up labor.
These researchers are basically saying, let's use more realistic expectations for how labor should progress and then we won't interfere so much. Apparently this new tracking tool more accurately matches the reality that dilation isn't a linear process.
"A diagnosis of abnormally slow labor is the No. 1 reason that C-sections are performed in low-risk births by first-time moms…The researchers, lead author Jeremy Neal of Ohio State University and co-author Nancy Lowe of the University of Colorado Denver, hope their partograph could be computerized or designed as a smartphone application… Neal and Lowe predict that if their partograph were adopted widely in the United States, dystocia [slow or obstructed labor] diagnoses would be limited to only the slowest 10 percent of first-stage labors; oxytocin interventions would drop by more than 50 percent; and cesarean sections performed because of dystocia would decrease by more than 50 percent. Currently, more than a quarter of births by low-risk, first-time mothers result in cesarean section.
'Dystocia is known to be over-diagnosed, which leads to unnecessary intervention, including cesareans,' said Neal, an assistant professor of nursing at Ohio State. 'We can tackle this issue by giving dystocia a clinically meaningful definition. This would go a long way toward preventing unnecessary cesareans for first-time moms which would, in turn, increase their chances of having successful labors and vaginal births for second, third and fourth deliveries as well.'" – from Science News online.
The next step for Neal and Lowe is to lead a pilot study of their partograph to judge its effectiveness.
Here's the quote from Neal that perhaps best sums up their line of inquiry:
"Clinging to defunct dilation expectations leads to unnecessary interventions during labor."
I'd be very curious to see this partograph. I think it could be a useful tool and may even change ideas about what constitutes "normal" progress in a first time birth in a way that would benefit moms and babies tremendously.
