Brett Smith: 7 Days from the NFL DraftDue to poor audio quality on the phone call, here's the transcript of the 5/1 phone conversation between Brett Smith and K2's Patrick Quinn.
PATRICK: The NFL Draft is just 7 days away, what's your mindset right now?
BRETT: I'm just trying to stay relaxed. It's hard to not to think about it. I'm just trying to control what I can control. Work out, stay in shape, and just wait. I understand, it's just kind of a hurry up and wait process. So, that's how I'm doing right now.
PATRICK: And we don't have to get into specifics, but how many teams have you talked to, or have contacted you? Can you give us any sense of a number?
BRETT: Shoot. I've talked to a few. I couldn't even give you a number. Just because you don't know who's interested and who's not. It's kind of a vague perception of what the team's interest is. I honestly couldn't tell you. It's tough to say.
PATRICK: Do you feel like you did all you could have done in this off season to best prepare yourself? Is there anything you would have done differently?
BRETT: No, I think I did everyting I possibly could. I worked out a lot for the Combine. And that didn't work out. So, I went back to work to get ready for Pro Day. Then I came back home, and I've been working hard here at home, and throwing as much as I could, and participated in the workouts at the teams' request, went on a couple visits. That's about all I could do. I feel like I was proactive in the process. I think I did all that I could.
PATRICK: How important was it for you to work out with other quarterbacks, and the coaches as well? But having Blake [Bortles] and Keith [Price] right there...how important was that for you?
BRETT: It was good. Because we were working towards the same goals so I'm rooting for those guys. I can't wait to hear their names called. From a competitive stand point, just to understand that we're all working towards the same goal. So, going out, and working hard with each other, trying to correct each other, and also from a competition stand point, we're really pushing each other and seeing how we stack up against each other, and I think that only made us better.
PATRICK: Where are you going to be next week? With family and friends? What does your set up look like?
BRETT: I'm going to be home. I don't know if it's going to be at my house. I'm probably going to be a nervous wreck. I might just go play golf or something. But we'll see. I haven't officially decided, but I know I'm going to be home in West Salem [Oregon].
PATRICK: This is a question a lot of Wyoming fans are interested in. I know the Broncos are looking at you. Would it mean something special to play in Denver where you know you have a Wyoming base watching you, or is it really just any team, you'd love the opportunity?
BRETT: Yeah, any team, I'd love the opportunity. I think the proximity to Wyomoing would be cool, btu at the same time, I just want to find a place to play.
PATRICK: How much does a position like in Denver with Peyton [Manning] where it's someone you can learn from, or is it more the coaching staff that you're looking at? What would be the ideal situation?
BRETT: You know, I don't know. I think just any situation that I step in, I'm just going to pursue that like I'm the starting quarterback. I understand that probably won't be the case right out of the shoot. But that doesn't matter. I'm just going to approach it like I'm the starter. Wherever I end up, I end up. I'm going to help the team in any way I can, and know my role, and accept it, and embrace doing whatever role I'm asked to do.

If Melo gets, and maintains, elevation on his shots and his drives, this team is going to be the low seed that no high seed wants to see in the first round.
His offensive prowess/offensive threat will open the lanes for Lin.
Lin's penetration will open the offense of Amar'e.
Lin's penetration will add Chandler as a threat ~ Davis' penetration, too.
Perimeter players' lanes will open.
The ****ing skies will open if Melo starts hitting again.
Right now he's a scorer that has an inconsistent shot with limited range.
It's time to break out of the funk, Melo.
Do what is required of you as a shooter. Please!
★ I am referring only to Melo's shot. The rest of his game: passing, defending, setting picks etc. has been excellent throughout this stretch. This is not a hate thread, this is an implore thread.
Melo is definitely in a funk but alot of his shots are also TERRIBLE shots.He is not getting the same looks he got in Denver and seems like he is out of shape since he cannot attack the basket against any defender right now. Maybe just a down year overall alot of superstars have these type of years.
But i think Melo's elbow is more hurt than he is admitting to. He still has on a shooting sleeve on his right arm and before that injury he never had it on that side of his arm so obviously his elbow may not be in pain anymore but may be hindering his shooting form.
lol @ mental rep, ill give u some physical rep too bro...good thread
Collins is on point, no team is deeper then the Knicks. We're mobb deep, like prodigy and havoc. They once said "Aint nothin soft or sweet, i'll lift u off your feet, when we **** back the heat whole crews retreat." The knicks will make the Christina Bosh, Lebrick and Dwayne Fade crew retreat. Rose the flower boy wants no part of us either, Chandler and Stat > Hoeakim Noah and Carlos Loser
he needs to attack the ft line with pull up jumpers. its like shooting ft all day.
Dwight Coward don't want none neither
His crew of misfits like Hedo TookAPoo and Ryan NoHandleson will get killed in the playoffs
Great read 8's
Melo isn't taking off on his drives and isn't jumping high enough on his jump shots, 3's specifically, I think he's still feeling the effects of the injuries and hopefully we lock of the division and give Melo some time to rest before the playoffs
I wish we had PHX medical staff as they fix small injuries in no time.

Well if you thought
Then allow me to give you the bad news.
If the cars were so badly affected by aero at a one mile track, just wait to see how bad they are affected by a bigger track
Funny thing during the offseason. They hyped up how they were putting so much more mechanical grip back into the car. My thought is if you make a car better aerodynamically. (Which car makers are going to demand) then they will be more aero sensitive.

I would like to increase my supply by about 6 oz per day. My son is almost 10 months old now. He takes about 18 oz at daycare so he gets some formula or juice during the day and I would like it to be mommy milk. I understand the supply and demand thing so I started pumping of an evening in between feedings - I did this for a week but my supply never increased anymore than what it was before I started pumping at home. I eat oatmeal every morning for breakfast, I take 9 to 12 fenugreek capsules a day, and drink 1 tea bag of mother's milk diluted down to make 2-32 oz glasses. I'd really like to increase now because we are going on a "babyless" vacation in July and have no supply in the freezer - so I'd like to build that up too. Anybody got any advice? I feel like I'm doing everything I can do, but I'm not getting any increase.
Unrelated question - how are you guys getting the information to appear at the bottom of your posts - i.e. mother of a, wife of b, etc?

I hope that idiot goes to hell!!!!!

The Nets' toughest opponents next season might not be the Pistons and the Pacers but purse-strings and the payroll.
If Martin receives a maximum offer from another team - Atlanta and Denver are among clubs with available room for a max proposal - a strong chance exists the Nets would not match. Because Martin is a restricted free agent, the Nets can match any offer he receives. Martin can get an offer of 25 percent of the salary cap with a 12.5-percent increase each year for seven years from the Nets or 10 percent bumps for six years from other teams. Figure the Nets, based on a cap of around $45 million, could offer a deal worth $103 million while competitors can give about $85 million without a seventh year.
Kidd's knee injury may keep him in New Jersey as not even he is secure in ownership's eyes, sources said. But nothing can be discussed until the status of his surgery-requiring knee is determined. Kidd signed a $103 million, six-year deal last summer. Prospective ownership apparently sees a large salary, not a player who revitalized a franchise and directed two trips to the NBA Finals.
I hope that idiot goes to hell!!!!!
If Nets are smart they'll attempt to trade Kidd for Kobe and sign Martin. I'd give up Kidd and Jefferson for Kobe!
PG Harris ?
SG Kobe
PF Martin
kidd and jefferson r their 2 best players, they would die with only kobe and kmart
I agree. You don't need to get rid of Kidd. He's great, regardless of whether he is as great as Kobe. Also LA wouldn't want Kidd, even if he is better than GP.Originally Posted by Hoagies99
8) i second thatOriginally Posted by Only The Knicks
None of the Knicks could stop him in the series... I felt he made his point, but the guy was just straight up disrespectful. Besides Collins, who became my new favorite Net to hate, Martin holds second place, then followed by Kidd. What am I talking about? I can't stand that whole team...
The Nets need to have a point guard, who can set Martin up like Kidd. If he doesn't get those looks on offense his numbers won't reflect the ones he put up with Kidd around. His defense will probably not be effected, no one can take that away from him. Plus now that LA basically belongs to Kobe, I would be surprised to see him in a different uniform next season.
One outta three ain't bad.
Nah, the Nets will get 'Reef. Bank on it. K-Mart is OUT.

If, and only if, Livia Lancelot takes points away from any male 250 World Championship contender at the Qatar or Thailand GPs, you can expect a major protest. Lancelot is 25 years old, and thus is not legal in the 250 World Championship, at least she wasn't legal until Monday, February 18. A new rule was written to allow women of any age to race the 250 class, while men over the age of 23 are barred.
What other rules doesn't Lancelot have to abide by? How about the 108% time rule? Does she have to start behind the gate? Does she even have to qualify for the final? The weird thing about equal rights is that they should be applied equally. This rule won't fly.

Torn and Glasser, Inc., of Los Angeles, Calif., is voluntarily recalling some packaged pistachios because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
One of the recalled products is under the 1916 label sold at KTA Superstores with an item number of H460-084, UPC code of 0 72488 11209 4, with the lot code 0923, which can be found on the back corner next to the seal. The pistachios recalled are in a 12-pack of one pound bags.
The Hilo distributor says the product was pulled from shelves in June.
The recalled product is also sold under the labels, Torn and Glasser, Sun Harvest and Sprouts. Click here for more information.
Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
This decision to recall was made due to the expanded recall of pistachio products by ARO pistachio (Upgraded from a Class II to a Class I) due to the potential of contamination with Salmonella. The Torn and Glasser recalled products contain pistachios supplied by the ARO processing plant located in Terra Bella, Calif. 93270.
The recalled product was distributed from February 21, 2012 to April 29, 2013 in California, Arizona, and Hawaii.
To date, Torn and Glasser, Inc. has not received any complaints concerning illness on any of these lot numbers. Consumers who have purchased any of the recalled products are urged not to eat them and to return products to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers can contact the Company at 1-310-605-4900/1-800-282-6887 for information regarding this recall. The phone will be manned from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) Monday through Friday.

Cute as a bug!
Got bored and have been wanting to snag some bass for a while now! Took the wife and monster out with me to Georges Creek just off Topside Road. Managed to snag up a few Sunfish and one Itty bitty Large mouth. Looking for some good waters that need tamed for some good small mouth action! Any suggestions? I've have seen some nice smallies come out of Rockford where the little river flows out of the smokies.....
Any how heres a few pics! Sulpher's hatching and the fish were going absolutely crazy! Had the wrong leader and tippet on and couldn't use dries. I looked down and caught this guy who was willing to say cheese!
Good day, and good memories that's what it's all about..
WW flyfishing
I used to live over that way and fished around the cove alot after work. (Single and no kids then) The cove gets alot of BIG carp when the Willow Flies are hatching and its a good place to sightfish them.
Try throwing buggers for them when you see them rooting in the mud. I've done it from the ramp.
Go down to Friendsville to the boat launch and little campground ( can't remember the name of it) and
fish around the floating dock at the ramp. I used to sometimes eat lunch there and get in a few minutes of casting. If the wind is blowing in, the shad bait balls will get close enough to cast a small streamer around and the white bass and small largemouths will usually be actively chasing the minnows out of the water. Lots of fun! I got a few laughs and snears from the Bass fishermen in the $40K boats until I hooked a 4 pd Largemouth in front of them on a flyrod fishing from the bank!

The Environmental Management System (EMS) is a tool that will help BLM New Mexico work smarter, more efficiently and leave a smaller environmental footprint. The EMS is simply a set of procedures that quantifies cost benefits and reduces our environmental footprint in our day-to-day activities. It is a cyclical process that is focused on continuous environmental improvement, innovation, and more efficient operations and that's what we should be about - innovative and improving our processes. By establishing this EMS we are now in compliance with Executive Order 13423 and Departmental Manual 515 DM 4 dated August 13, 2008.
The BLM New Mexico EMS provides a mechanism for evaluating and pursuing environmental management improvements across all areas and programs overseen by the BLM New Mexico. We are implementing an EMS to strengthen our existing commitment to the protection and reclamation of the public lands.
We are using this in our Restore New Mexico program to help us realize more efficiencies in our upland watershed and riparian area management, erosion control, habitat development, and invasive species management. Our ultimate goal is restoring our state's grasslands, woodlands and riparian areas to a healthy and productive condition.
View a presentation on EMS Basic Awareness
The primary internal communication method for the BLM is the Bureau's EMS site on the DOI Sustainability Council Intranet Portal, which is available to all DOI computer network users at https://portal.doi.net. Each State and Center and the NEW Group maintain documentation of the EMS (e.g., policies and procedures, objectives and targets, legal and other requirements, meeting minutes, etc.) on the Portal.

Music Review: Chamber music crusade bodes wellBy Jim LoweJim Lowe / Staff photo
Rachel Calin, right, was soloist with the Burlington Ensemble in Castleton. From left are violinists Michael Dabroski, Sofia Hirsch and Zoya Tsvetkova.
The Burlington Ensemble Vermonts up-and-coming chamber music group despite an all-too-small audience, delivered a truly exciting performance of Mendelssohns String Octet, Opus 20, on Friday at Castleton State Colleges beautiful new summer pavilion.
Fridays program, Starry Night, was also performed in Vergennes, Richmond and Shelburne.
The concert marks the beginning of the groups residency at Castleton, where it will present concerts throughout the area and participate in educational programs.
BE, as it is called, is a varying ensemble of largely Vermont professional musicians. Founded by violinists Sofia Hirsch and Michael Dabroski, it is more a collective than an organization, and receives support by partnering with area nonprofit charities.
In return for a portion of a concerts proceeds, the charity promotes the concert through its own channels.
Over the last couple of years, the group has presented successful concerts in Burlington and a summer series in Shelburne area. This coming season, however, BE will branch out with residencies at the Shelburne Museums new Pizzagalli Center for the Arts and the Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center in Stowe, as well as at Castleton.
Felix Mendelssohn wrote his Octet in E-flat Major, Opus 20, in 1824 when he was 16. Its a brilliant work, full of youthful drive and beautiful melodies. Its Scherzo even predicts the composers Overture to A Midsummer Nights Dream Opus 21.
Like most chamber music of the era, the Octet is first violin-driven, though even more so. Russian-born violinist Zoya Tsvetkova, who plays in the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, led the ensemble with brilliance that was beautiful but never overpowering.
The ensembles playing, though not flawless, was of a consistently high quality. More importantly, these fine players delivered the joy of this music unflinchingly. (Smiles among the players were frequent.) They successfully achieved both the drive and the lyricism, and the Andante was lovely with real tenderness.
Clarinetist Elizabeth LeBlanc proved a most expressive player with plenty of nuance in Bernard Hermanns rambling 1967 quintet for clarinet and strings, Souvenir de Voyage. The work, while not terribly cohesive, is full of beautiful parts and evocative of the composers scores for Alfred Hitchcock films. Violinist Hirsch led the able quartet of strings: violinist Dabroski, violist Elizabeth Reid and cellist John Dunlop.
Rachel Calin was the able guest soloist in the Concerto No. 2 in b minor for double bass and strings by Italian Romantic composer and double bass virtuoso Giovanni Bottesini (1821-1889). The bass is not often heard as a solo instrument, but Calin proved more than able in this less than memorable vehicle.
Calins performance, though a little strained in the first movement, was beautiful and lyrical in the slow movement and virtuosic in the finale.
The Burlington Ensemble is not only a crusader for chamber music throughout Vermont, it offers some very fine performances.

By Sharna Johnson: Freedom New Mexico
Two years ago today, many residents were greeted by sights of
destruction and debris when they emerged from their homes in the
aftermath of the worst tornado to hit the area in at least 43 years.
The March 23, 2007, tornado killed two elderly residents, affected
about 500 homes — 55 were destroyed — and resulted in millions of
dollars of damage and clean up.
Yucca Middle School alone suffered nearly $1 million in damages.
The tornado also ravaged dairies in Roosevelt County as it made its
way to the south end of Clovis, before weaving north through central
residential areas of the city.
The majority of the recovery work is done, Clovis City Manager Joe
Thomas said, but there is still evidence of the destruction to be seen
around the community.
"You can still drive through the area and see remnants of damage
that have not been cleaned up. It was devastating to some who didn't
have insurance," he said.
"As far as general service to the community, I would say that we
have recovered, but there are people that were affected by the storm
that will never recover."
Thomas said the tornado issued the community a stark reminder that,
"It is possible that we can be the victims of natural disasters," and
in the aftermath, emergency preparedness has taken on new meaning.
Thomas said the community was lauded by federal responders for high
efficiency and fluid response to the crisis, but the practice and
planning continues.
Local Emergency Management Director Ken De Los Santos said the
community has long had an emergency planning component and the Local
Emergency Planning Committee, a body with about 80 members, began
growing in 2003 under new direction.
But the tornado, declared a disaster by former President George Bush, was a test, and they passed it, he said.
De Los Santos said estimates would place damage and recovery costs
in the neighborhood of $8 to $10 million, not including countless
volunteer and good samaritan efforts that went untracked.
When disaster hit, he said everyone knew their role and the pieces of the response and recovery puzzle slid together nicely.
"It worked extremely well," he said.
"It was a good experience just to see that. We had so many things in
place. We had the right people in the right place at the right time and
we continue to plan and prepare and practice."
Seeing the response first hand and having been through it in real
life as opposed to in theory, De Los Santos said minor issues did
arise, namely in the area of communication, but they were quickly
handled and have been incorporated into future planning so they aren't
And if another tornado were to strike, which is likely based on
history and geographic predisposition, De Los Santos said he believes
the area is prepared to deal with it again.
"It could happen anytime. Our storm season is usually April to
September (and) we're in tornado alley, so we can have that any time,"
he said.
Tornado history: Curry County has recorded five F2 tornadoes since records have been kept:
• June 10, 1932
• Sept. 17, 1944
• May 24, 1957
• June 11, 1964
• March 23, 2007.
An F2 includes wind speeds greater than 113 mph. The county has not
seen a tornado greater than F2 in 75 years of record keeping.
By the numbers:
20 —Million pounds of debris from the tornado taken to the landfill
35 — Patients treated at the hospital for tornado-related injuries, 4 were admitted and 2 later died.
55 — Homes destroyed
160 — People sheltered in hotels after the tornado
500 — Homes affected by the tornado
$200,000 — Provided from local money to cover needs not met by federal assistance
$800,000 —Repairs required to fix power lines and equipment

Robotics competition showcases high school students math and science skills
The gym at Onalaska Luther high school was alive with the sounds of cheering Sunday afternoon, but it wasn't for a sporting event.
The school hosted a robotics competition that brought out three other local high schools.
Teams spend time in class throughout the year learning about math and science and constructing their own robots.
They then compete in events like Sunday's scrimmage.
It's all done with an eye on the regional competition coming up this spring.
But Sunday was all about showcasing skills that don't attract as much attention as your typical high school sports.
"It's like a pay off for all your hard work. You're in the background with your computer and you're putting everything together and to actually display it and show your skills to the world makes you feel accomplished for once," said Luther High School Senior Kevin Walls.
Central, Aquinas, Onalaska Luther, and La Crescent-Hokah high school all had teams competing on Sunday.
They'll all go on to compete at the regional level this spring.

Vizquel to South Side? It Might Finally Happen
Prior to to the 2005 season the White Sox were on the verge of signing fielding whiz Omar Vizquel, a move that would have united him with friend and fellow Venezuelan Ozzie Guillen.
Well, Sox fans, Vizquel, who hit .266 in 62 games for the Rangers in 2009 playing second, short and third, could be coming to the South Side after all–four years later. FoxSports.com is reporting that the Pale Hosers are close to signing him as a backup infielder and mentor to Alexei Ramirez and Gordon Beckham, who will be switching to second base from third to make room for newcomer Mark Teahen. Needless to say, Vizquel's addition would have an impact on Jayson Nix and Brent Lillibridge and their hopes of both making the 25-man roster.

"And after he shot at her, he says he doesn't know why, he fired again and again and again," said Honolulu prosecutor Dwight Nadamoto, who repeated himself nine times in his closing remarks, emphasizing the number of shots fired at Tammy Nguyen, a mother of 10.
Her 16-year-old daughter Cindy was sitting next to her that night, witnessing it all.
"I just crunched down to the floor and ducked down and then I saw my mom jerk back and her head slowly fell," said Cindy, holding back in tears during the start of Toby Stangel's murder trial.
"I heard bap, bap, bap! Then I was like, 'whoa, what's going on?" said Apelu Patu, who was also shot that night on June 3rd, 2011.
Stangel admitted he was the gunman who killed one woman and injured two others in a 17-minute shooting spree that stretched from Kaimuki to Aiea, but he maintained was out of his mind, doped up on drugs and alcohol.
That would be the defense his attorney would hold to, to the very end.
"The state wants you to believe Toby had intended to kill by those that confronted him that night. If you had actual evidence of his state of mind, that he was mad at someone or something, you would have something to go on," said Stangel's attorney John Schum.
"Cindy Nguyen does not know why he shot at her mom. She does not know why it happened. She only knows that her mom is now dead," said Nadamoto.
It's been a week-long trial, with numerous witnesses, experts and victims taking the stand.
For Toby Stangel, he chose not to take the stand, in front of eight men and four women who now hold his fate in their hands.
Stangel has been charged with eight counts of murder and attempted murder along with several counts of firearms and drug charges.
He faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.

A Case Study In Aggressive Quackery Marketing
With some degree of sadness I recently "outed" a former co-resident of mine who has turned to the dark side and begun putting money-making before truth and science. Without any clear evidence of benefit beyond placebo, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is now being marketed aggressively as a cure-all for sports injuries. And at about $300 per injection (the NYT reports $2000/treatment), there's plenty of money to be made.
Like the fake "stem cell" clinics in Russia (where, according to Sanjay Gupta's recent book, Chasing Life, a person's fat cells are harvested, washed, and re-injected into their blood stream), PRP also involves injection of autologous body fluids. Essentially, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, centrifuged, and the plasma supernatant is then injected directly into tendons and/or joints. After a series of 3 injections (one/month), most sports injuries are "cured." Of course, most injuries would heal themselves in three months anyway. (more…)

LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan has lent her voice to those mourning the loss of actress Natasha Richardson.
Lohan, who as a pre-teen actress starred alongside Richardson in the 1998 film, "The Parent Trap," released a statement to Access Hollywood on Wednesday evening.
"She was a wonderful woman and actress and treated me like I was her own," Lohan's statement read. "I didn't see much of her over the years but I will miss her."
Lohan also expressed her sympathies for Richardson's family as the actress leaves behind her beloved husband, Liam Neeson, sons Micheal Richard Antonio, 13, and Daniel Jack, 12, sister Joely Richardson, mother Vanessa Redgrave and aunt Lynn Redgrave.
"My heart goes out to her family. This is a tragic loss," her statement concluded.
Richardson died on Wednesday following a skiing accident near Montreal on Monday. She was 45.

The icon of the Thompson Historical Society is our Old Town Hall building. The Old Town Hall, constructed about 1842, was possibly designed by Thompson born architect Ithiel Town, one of America's most noted early commercial architects.
The Old Town Hall has been called one of Ithiel Towne's last designs. While this claim has never been proven, it would make sense that Ithiel Towne, the founder of Towne & Davis, one of America's earliest professional architectural firms, performed this one last service for his beloved hometown, Thompson, CT.
A major capital campaign that concluded in early 2012 included.significant work to the bell tower and porch. The building received a full paint job and repairs to the porch floor and pillars.

Lee Flaherty '12 | May 28, 2010
Explain yourself, Lee!
Hello dear reader, I am Lee Flaherty, Haverford class of 2012, and I have a most exciting internship this summer. I will be working for the company Seawater Greenhouse (Australia) Pty. Ltd., to construct, operate, and offer ideas for improvement of the first large-scale commercial seawater greenhouse operation. Observation in the nascent stages of the greenhouse will provide a platform to generate such ideas for improvement.
Understanding the theory behind the seawater greenhouse requires knowledge of engineering, horticulture, physics, economics, and chemistry, at the very least; I will explain it more in some of my posts. However, theory is not reality, and to get a sense for the reality of the situation I will be present for the planning and construction stages of the greenhouse, through to operation. My goal is to figure out as many possible ways to improve the efficiency of an already efficient system, with a current emphasis on the use of alternative pollinators in the greenhouse.
I have spent a considerable amount of my free time this past year in the hope that I'd get to where I am now, and I will tell you a new piece of my story weekly. I have a lot to share, and if you follow my blog I guarantee that you will learn a multitude of new facts in a plethora of subjects. Brief casual updates will be posted throughout the week, along with exciting pictures to supplement your word-weary eyes. Hopefully, through this weblog of my summer, I can offer friends, family, colleagues, professors, and any other readers a vibrant and dynamic picture of my summer at the edge of South Australia's outback.
Kind regards,
Lee J. Flaherty

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyThe Asian short-clawed otter is a sociable animal, living in loose family groups of about 12 individuals (2). Within each group is an adult monogamous pair, with both parents contributing to the raising of their offspring (5). The female gives birth to up to two litters each year (2), each containing up to six young but often just containing one or two. The young are born after a gestation period of 60 to 64 days (2), into a nest of grass that the female has built two weeks prior (5). The young otters do not open their eyes until 40 days old. At nine weeks of age they take their first swim and, shortly after, they eat solid food (2). The diet of the Asian short-clawed otter consists primarily of crabs, other crustaceans, molluscs, frogs (2), fish, snakes and insects (6). With their sensitive and dexterous front paws, they dig around in the mud or under stones to find their prey (2). With their large back teeth, the Asian short-clawed otter can crush the shells of crabs and molluscs, or they have been known to leave these creatures out in the sun once they have been dug up, where the heat causes the shells to open up (5). In areas of rice fields, the Asian short-clawed otter may serve a valuable function to farmers as it preys on the crabs found in the paddies (6). When not searching for food, this playful otter may be found along the grassy or sandy banks of rivers, resting or grooming (5). It interacts with other members of the family group using a vocabulary of at least 12 calls (2), including greeting, mating and alarm calls (5). In Malaysia at night, their chirps are often heard as they move through rice fields (6).

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to a family of secreted or membrane-associated proteins capable of digesting extracellular matrix components. MMP-15 (MT2-MMP) is a member of the membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase (MT-MMP) subfamily, which contains a potential transmembrane domain and is expressed at the cell surface rather than secreted. MMP-15 is responsible for the degradation of basement membrane and it is also an important activator for MMP-2. MMP-15 plays an important role in tumor invasion. The SensoLyte® 520 MMP-15 Assay Kit uses a 5-FAM (fluorophore) and QXL® 520 (quencher) labeled FRET peptide substrates for the continuous measurement of the enzyme activities. In an intact FRET peptide, the fluorescence of 5-FAM is quenched by QXL® 520. Upon cleavage of the FRET peptide by MMP-15, the fluorescence of 5-FAM is recovered, and can be continuously monitored at excitation/emission = 490/520 nm. With superior fluorescence quantum yield and longer emission wavelength, 5-FAM/QXL® 520 based FRET peptide is less i terfered by the autofluorescence of test compounds and cellular components and provides better assay sensitivity. The assays are performed in a convenient 96-well microplate format. Kit size: 100 assays

Hawaii Island Air announced Thursday that it has entered into an agreement that it believes will lead to a sale of the company to an undisclosed buyer.
"This is a great opportunity for the future of the company", said Les Murashige, Island Air's President. "The company has gone through a number of challenges recently and a new owner will bring a fresh perspective to the company."
Murashige said there are a number of hurdles that must be cleared before the closing of the transaction. He expressed optimism the hurdles would be cleared and the new ownership would be in place within the next six to eight weeks.
"There has been a lot of hard work and due diligence done over the holidays. We are prepared to move forward and have been meeting with the relevant groups who have a role in making this happen," said Murashige.
Island Air was founded in 1980 to provide air service between Princeville and Honolulu. The airline now offers 331 weekly flights between the islands of Oahu, Maui, West Maui, Lanai, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii.

BSC Students Gain "Hands-On" Experience in International Engineering Technology Competition
Recently, members of the student section/International Society (ISA) for Measurement and Control at Bluefield State College traveled to Chicago to compete with student teams from the United States, Canada, Russia, and Latin America in a day-long international student competition.
BSC's electrical engineering technology students were also involved in seminars designed to provide the opportunity to put their skills to the test. Seminars included a conduit seminar and hands-on tube bending seminar, along with a glass tower demonstration.
BSC's student section team competed in the ISA Bowl, during which they answered questions on basic and advanced instrumentation and control theory and practice. The ISA Practical competition gave students two instrumentation and control exercises developed by local industry professionals.
BSC associate professor of electrical engineering technology Roy Pruett, Student Section Advisor for the Bluefield chapter, noted the BSC team finished fourth in the international competition. "Our students gained hands-on experience from the competition and also had the opportunity to meet exhibitors and potential job contacts in the future," he said. BSC students attending the Chicago program, and team members, included: Sonny Ciampanella, Kenneth Holt, Bryon Bishop, Mike Simmons, Jason Osborne, James Pruett, and Shannon Bowling.

- Abstract
- Free standing alumina-13% titania samples were manufactured using high power water stabilized plasma spraying. Heat treatment was performed at 1450°C for 24 hours and then at 1100°C for another 24 hours. Four point bend tests were performed on the as-sprayed and heat-treated samples in both cross section and in-plane orientations with in situ acoustic emission monitoring to monitor the cracking during the tests. Catastrophic failure with less evidence of microcracking was observed for as-sprayed samples. Energy and amplitude distributions were examined to discriminated micro- and macro-cracks. It was found that the high energy (> 100) and high amplitude (say > 60 dB) responses can be characterized as macro-cracks. Physical models are proposed to interpret the AE responses under different test conditions so that the cracking mechanisms can be better understood.

Pradham Takes Part in NSF Panel Review Process
Dr. Shekhar Pradhan, Department Head of Electrical Engineering Technology at Bluefield State College, recently took part in the National Science Foundation's (NSF) panel review process.
The NSF is a primary funding agency for providing grant money to institutions of higher education throughout the United States. The panel review committee considers proposals submitted by colleges and universities, then makes recommendations to NSF. The process is competitive, and federal money is awarded to selected top proposals.
In the meeting where Dr. Pradhan participated, proposals submitted under NSF's Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement Program were reviewed, with panel recommendations for funding forwarded to NSF. A total of $67 million in requests was considered by the panel, with $16 million to be awarded to top proposals.
Dr. Pradhan had earlier written two proposals considered by NSF, which awarded $14 million to one proposal for the purchase of six SUN workstations. The workstations will be used for designing very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits by BSC students. The completed design will be e-mailed to the University of Southern California (MOSIS service)/Marina Del-Ray. USC personnel will fabricate the computer chip designed by BSC students and mail the chip back for student testing.

History is being revived at Winona National Bank
Every artist has their tools, every brush stroke tells a story. As Shane Loshek sets to work on his next project, he's not painting a canvass or chiseling stone. Shane is a Taxidermist who spends most of his time on local animals and hunting trophies, but was recently tapped to retouch more than 20 exotic animals at Winona National Bank, "This is the biggest job I've even done," says Loshek.
From lions to rhinos, big elephant ears to tiny creatures, Loshek is breathing new life into animals that have stood still for a lifetime. "They came here in 1924," says bank President Jack Richter, "so a little bit more than 90 years."
They were trophies from an African safari by the King family, who still owns much of Winona National. They spent weeks in Tanzania and brought back dozens of exotic animals. They have become the symbol of the bank, known by many in the community to be the Lion Bank. "Virtually every Spring all the students in the school district come," says Richter, "and they tour the animals and they get to see some of the animals from Africa that they would never see up close."
"When I was a child walking through this bank and coming up here and seeing these things," says Loshek, "you know, 8 years old, I always kept saying to my mom, 'let's go to the lion bank' cause I always wanted to see these animals."
After decades under glass they needed some work, but not as much as you'd might expect. Loshek says they are still in extremely good shape for their age, part of the reason was the painstaking work of the original taxidermist nine decades ago.
The work was done by the James L. Clark company. Clark was a well-known taxidermist of his time who worked for the National Museum in D.C. and even Teddy Roosevelt. That makes Shane's work that much more important. "You don't want to take the original taxidermist work away," Loshek says, "you don't want to mess anything up cause it's irreplaceable."
So whether it's a Q-Tip to liven up an eye or hair spray to poof up a lion mane, Leshick is getting these amazing animals ready for the next century.
Loshek isn't sure how long the project will take. Depending on how much work they need each separate animal can take several hours, or several days.

BSC Students Present Biomedical Research at Annual Undergraduate Research Day at State Capitol
CreatedMonday, March 04 2013
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
(Bluefield)--The West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission recently showcased research conducted by undergraduate students and recognized faculty members from colleges and universities across West Virginia. The student presentations and awards ceremony were held at the State Capitol as part of the 10th Annual Undergraduate Research Day.
In the morning, 100 undergraduate students from 15 higher education institutions presented research in the Upper Rotunda of the State Capitol and discussed their work with legislators and other state officials. Bluefield State College students Michael Bowling, Danielle Haynes, Brandon Kirby, and Yamilee Valmur participated in the program, spotlighting their work in biomedical research.
In the afternoon, Secretary of Education and the Arts Kay Goodwin, the Commission's Chancellor Paul Hill, and the Commission's Director of Research Programs Jan Taylor presented grant awards from West Virginia's Research Challenge Fund and Research Trust Fund, also known as "Bucks for Brains," at the Culture Center.
Governor Tomblin applauded the student research presentations and faculty research grants. "We, as a state, must continue to focus on economic development opportunities that develop and maintain a culture of innovation leading to further creation of high-skill, high-wage jobs for today's students and tomorrow's workforce," said Governor Tomblin.
Undergraduate Research Day is an annual event held at the State Capitol to increase awareness and understanding of the importance of research that is being conducted by faculty and students across the state's higher education system. Sponsors include the Commission's Division of Science and Research; Marshall University including the Expansion of STEM Doctoral Education Program; Marshall Health; and West Virginia University including the Office of Graduate Education and Life.

A unique vortex shaped lens, a colorful spiralling display and bright EL backlighting combine to create Kisai Uzumaki.
The sixth concept from a fan to become reality, Kisai Uzumaki features a brand new custom designed case and strap and shows the time like a conventional analog watch.
Uzumaki comes from the Japanese word for whirlpool. The colored swirls indicate the time in an analog format so that the time can be read easily at a glance; hours on the outside, minutes on the inside. The hand indicates seconds for precise timing.
Made entirely of stainless steel and available in black or silver with a blue or green display, the attention to detail in Uzumaki's construction is evident in each part of the watch. The custom curves and brushed surfaces on the case enhance the vortex theme and the EL backlight, which can be initiated by pressing the crown, illuminates the spirals for a short time creating a night-time glow.
One of Uzumaki's most attractive features is its custom made acrylic lens, designed with concentric circles that descend from the edge of the case into the centre of the watch to create the appearance of a whirlpool. The stainless steel ring that surrounds the lens appears to float above.
Kisai Uzumaki has an adjustable strap making it suitable for small and large wrists and uses standard SR626SW watch batteries which will last at least 12 months and can easily be replaced. The time can be set just like a regular watch by turning the crown.
Like all watches from Tokyoflash Japan, Kisai Uzumaki is a limited edition design which means that it is guaranteed to be an original wrist watch that not many other people own.
In February 2010, Tokyoflash Japan opened its Design Studio Blog to showcase concept designs and request ideas for new watch designs from fans. The idea for Kisai Uzumaki was submitted by Firdaus Rohman from Malaysia and was voted as one of the most popular designs by fans. This is the sixth concept submitted by a fan to become reality.
Find out more about the original concept on the Tokyoflash Design Studio Blog.
