Senate passes landmark immigration billAP Photo
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., center, speaks following a vote in the Senate on immigration reform on Capitol Hill in Washington on Thursday.
WASHINGTON A historic immigration bill offering citizenship to 11 million undocumented immigrants passed the Senate on Thursday with bipartisan support and was sent to the House, where its prospects remained dim.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid ordered senators to their desks in the ornate chamber to vote on the landmark legislation that will help secure our borders.
This historic legislation recognizes that todays immigrants came for the right reasons the same reasons as generations before them, Reid said.
To underscore the significance of the Senate vote, Vice President Joe Biden presided over the chamber during the roll call vote.
The bill was passed on a 68-32 vote, falling just short of the 70 votes supporters had wanted to build momentum and force House Republican leaders to take up their bill.
But just hours earlier, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said he would not bring the Senate bill to the House floor and instead would offer separate legislation currently being written by a House committee.
Were going to do our own bill, through regular order, and itll be legislation that reflects the will of our majority and the will of the American people, Boehner said.
Now the battle begins in the House, said Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio.
Senate Democrats voted en bloc for the sweeping immigration that increases visas for high-skilled and agricultural workers and doubles the size of the Border Patrol.
They were joined by 14 Republicans.
The bipartisan bill, written by four Democrats and four Republicans known as the Gang of Eight, was endorsed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said the bill would prevent future waves of illegal immigration.
President Barack Obama said the bill did not include everything he wanted, but he backed the legislation and urged the House and Senate to quickly pass reform that he would sign into the law.
The Senate bill is the first rewrite of the nations complex immigration laws since 1986, when President Ronald Reagan signed legislation that granted citizenship to 3 million undocumented immigrants.
Republican leaders in the Senate said the increase in undocumented immigrants here now showed that the 1986 bill did not work.
House Republican leaders, like those in the Senate, are solidly against citizenship proposals for undocumented immigrants, which they label as amnesty for lawbreakers who entered the country illegally.
All Senate Republican leaders opposed the bill and urged their GOP colleagues in the House to use that as leverage as they write a more enforcement-centered bill.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the Senate bill would never become law in its current form.
And Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, the Senate GOP whip, who voted against the bill, said he hoped the House would rescue this bill by strengthening its security provisions.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, also voted against the Senate immigration bill.
He said it contained a loophole that would give employers an incentive to hire undocumented workers to avoid paying health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act.
But backers of the Senate bill successfully turned back challenges to the legislation over three weeks of debate.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said many of those challenges were raised by senators who no matter what happened were going to vote against the legislation.
One of the challenges was a sweeping amendment by Cornyn that required the Southwest border to be 100 percent secure before legal permanent status or citizenship could be granted to undocumented immigrants.
His measure was rejected.
Instead, the Senate passed a compromise amendment written by Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., that would double the size of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The $38 billion border security amendment would add 20,000 additional Border Patrol agents, purchase four additional Predator drones for surveillance and add an additional 350 miles of border fence.
Conservatives who sought strengthened border security embraced the compromise measure.
We came up with an amendment that everyone can understand, Corker said.
Democrats also supported the measure, although liberals complained about its cost and scope.
The American Civil Liberties Union said the measure would hyper-militarize U.S.-Mexico border communities without accountability and oversight of border enforcement resources.
Nonetheless, the amendment increased Republican votes that helped produce a lopsided bipartisan majority.
And it kept intact the centerpiece, a measure that would allow the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country to receive legal permanent status and sets a 13-year pathway to citizenship.
Those eligible would be undocumented immigrants who pay fines and back taxes, learn English and clear criminal background checks.
House GOP leaders, meanwhile, have vowed to slow down the process despite the partys pledges to reach out to Latinos after the 2012 election, in which President Obama received 71 percent of the Hispanic vote.
But many Republicans in the House oppose citizenship proposals.
Most Americans feel that legalizing millions of illegal immigrants would be a drain on government services, said Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio.
Instead, the House Judiciary Committee is passing separate bills focusing on border security, enforcement and an increase in high-skilled workers sought by technology and specialized industries.
Smiths legislation to expand the electronic verification system for employers to check immigration status of potential employees is one of the bills approved by the committee.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Houston, a ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, said the piecemeal approach was not comprehensive reform and merely a GOP gimmick to slow down the process started in the Senate.

Naughty Dog debuted the first ever gameplay footage of the naughtily anticipated action-adventure threequel Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night. The level on display is a French chateau that for one reason or another (although I'm assuming it was Drake's fault) is engulfed in flames, and Drake and his old pal Sully are trying to escape before the entire building collapses on top of them.
The sequence shows off some spectacular fire and environmental physics, both of which Naughty Dog has said would hit new heights this time around, and a few of Drake's new hand-to-hand melee abilities. It also features a sharp inhale-inducing stun at around the three minute and two second mark that couldn't be more Uncharted if it tried. But enough yapping. Watch it now.
The stream is acting a little funky, so if it's not working for you, head over to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon page to check out the video.
Should the need arise, feel free to E-Mail me your tips, suggestions, and/or personal philosophies, or follow me on Twitter.

Through thick and thin
Count on Colonial Kitchen's comfort cooking for all occasions
By Erica Wayne 03/31/2011
These are troubled times. Japan, Libya, DC, Sacramento — no matter where you look, housing's down, the job market's bad, budget cuts are the rule, and we're not getting any younger. In the global tsunami that seems to be sucking the joy out of 2011, there are only two choices: hide under the bed or head to a coffee shop.
Coffee shops have always meant comfort to me. As a youngster on family trips, I remember the happiness of seeing Howard Johnson's or Hot Shoppe signs that signaled familiar food in unfamiliar locations. Williamsburg, Tallahassee or Portsmouth, we could count on pancakes, burgers and grilled cheese done the way we liked them — important reassurance to a kid in transit.
In college, coffee shops were where we escaped from the dorm, outlined papers, plotted strategies for finals and ragged on parents, professors and other authority figures. Maybe it was all those free refills on coffee, or perhaps it was simply that the waitresses never seemed anxious for us to pay up and vacate, but the neighborhood coffee shop was a true haven.
In later peregrinations, coffee shops have gotten me through periods when belongings are in boxes, cats are confused and neighbors are simply curious nameless faces wondering what living next door to me will mean. Luckily, it's been more than 20 years since I've been in that position, but I'm still grateful to our neighborhood coffee shop, Colonial Kitchen, for providing solace then and continuing to do so through thick and thin.
The Kitchen, on Huntington Drive in San Marino (we're still Pasadena residents, albeit barely), is an old-fashioned place, cozy and warm. As a fugitive from bare walls and unpacked cartons on our first visit in 1989, I hid rather than nestled in one of the heavy green booths at the back of the restaurant, seeking sanctuary from the arduous process of "settling in."
The wood cases filled with cloying ceramics (mostly saccharin Hummel figurines), clichéd landscape paintings and fake oak paneling lining much of the wall space all made me feel better. The red glass lamps, wood-grain tables and stocky early American chairs gave me a feeling that somehow things would become ordered again.
Flocked wall coverings (perhaps plastic), philodendron (probably plastic) and soft music (definitely plastic) didn't (and don't) bother me a bit. The coffee's real, the waitress calls me dear and I can stay as long as I like (which in times of duress seems to be most of the day, if I can swing it). Unfortunately, they close fairly early, so there's no chance of avoiding responsibilities indefinitely.
CK's breakfast is a high point. The pancake sandwich ($7.45) sustained me through two verge-of-a-nervous-breakdown mornings when I couldn't find: a) my underwear (in with the pots and pans), b) my ginger cat (lurking among the stacked paintings in the living room), c) my black cat (hunkered down invisibly in a black leather chair), and d) my gray cat (on top of the underwear). This month, it's buttressing us as we prepare to donate most of our spare cash to the IRS.
Well, I'm not that fond of sausage and the overlight eggs are sometimes slightly underdone, but the batter is homemade, the pancakes are tender and the syrup is served warm. (IMHO, there's not a doldrum in the world that can't be mitigated by the aroma of maple sugar.) Early on, I also enjoyed CK's homemade chili omelette ($8.45), fat and cushiony, served with decent hash browns or even better O'Briens (with onion and peppers) and fresh biscuits — comforting enough to enable me to head home and empty two cartons before succumbing to moving malaise once more.
Now that we're longtime residents, my favorite omelette is the Sonora ($8.45), made with green chilies and jack cheese (I usually switch to cheddar) with dollops of guacamole and sour cream and mild salsa. My husband, whose appetite picked up once his books were on the shelves, rarely veers from the Titan ($9.95), a sausage, bacon, potatoes, egg, pancake, juice and toast extravaganza.
We've never asked how it got its name or why British and American flags hang out front. Welsh rarebit sandwich ($7.25) and fish and chips ($13.95) suggest the original owner may have been a Brit. The last time we were in, shrimp pot stickers ($6.95) were a daily special, quite a shocker until we belatedly noticed that new owners (Frank and Linda Chen) had taken over eight years ago. Other than the dumplings, we haven't noticed a single change in food or ambience.
We consider ourselves CK semi-regulars, but we've never gotten to the egg salad ($6.75), BLT ($7.45), club ($8.95) or grilled cheese ($6.95) sandwiches. We haven't tried the burgers ($7.75 - $8.95), chef's salad ($8.95) or any of the predictable dinner specials (e.g. chicken-fried steak, spaghetti and meat sauce, fried chicken, Salisbury steak or liver, bacon and onions, most between $12 and $14). We haven't made it to the bread pudding ($3.75), hot fudge sundae ($5.75) or fruit pies ($4.75) either.
That's because breakfast's served all day, and we usually focus on eggs.
My husband did try the tuna melt ($8.45) once, but it wasn't a happy experience. He complained about the presence of pickle relish. "They ought to tell you about it in the menu," he grumbled. (We were having a rest after a morning of garage organizing, and he couldn't find any of his tools, which turned out to be under the other gray cat.) We've never ordered it again, but I'm sure it's the same. Everything's always the same at the Colonial Kitchen (no matter who owns it), and that's the reason we like it so much.

After finishing the 2008 season 85-58 and earning a playoff spot, it looked like the PawSox would be primed for a repeat performance in 2009. It was not meant to be. The team will finish somewhere around 20 games under .500 for the year. There have been some highlights both on and off the field, however. I thought it might be fun to remember before we turn the page on the season.
1. Clay Buchholz' near perfect game in Louisville. Buch went 8 and a third before surrendering a hit to Danny Richar. He faced just 28 batters. It was a defining moment for a guy who has already pitched a no-hitter in the Major Leagues. A memorable Memorial Day.
2. Daniel Bard strikes out the side on 9 pitches. Before being promoted to Boston in May, Bard was impeccable as the PawSox closer. 9 pitches!! You try it.
1. The collapse of 2009. Pitching carried the PawSox until their epic slide began in Scranton around the fourth of July. No hitting + no pitching = no wins.
2. Fans keep coming. I guess it shouldn't have surprised me, but despite the tough economy and the poor on-field performance, McCoy packed 'em in. The PawSox will again draw over 600,000 fans. Give yourselves a standing ovation.
1. Bowling with Mark Kotsay. The Big Leaguer footed the bill for the entire team (including yours truly) on a bowling outing in Louisville. It was a great night and a tremendous amount of fun, cutting loose away from the ballpark. Kotsay is a class individual.
2. Niagara Falls with my daughter, Carly. Took advantage of a day game in Buffalo and took the short ride to the Falls. Breathtaking. Ran into Jeff Natale, Sean Danielson, Mark Wagner, Junichi Tazawa and trainer Masa Kubota. Classic father/daughter day. Capped it off with an Italian feast at Chef's in Buffalo.
If you listen to our broadcasts, you know food is IMPORTANT to us. Here are my favorite meals of 2009.
1. "The Beirut" in Toldeo. Being of Lebanese heritage, I have a discriminating palate. Had Kibbee, Tabouli and Hummus. Not as good as Lucille's, but unbelievable for a meal on the road.
2. "The Dinosaur Barbecue" in Syracuse and Rochester. One night Dan and I had what we agreed were the best ribs we had ever eaten. The Dinosaur never disappoints.
3. "The Change of Pace" in Syracuse. Best chicken wings, EVER. Owner Steve Grilli (losing pitcher in the longest game in baseball history) has the recipe, and the PawSox fans who made the trip to Cooperstown all agree.
4. "Broad Street Grill and Deli" in Allentown. The best sandwich in the International League, bar none. Philly Cheese Steak (made with chicken) melted blue cheese, onions and pickles. Delicious!
5. "Chef's" in Buffalo. We were treated to Easter dinner there by owner Ben Mondor. (Glad to say it was my idea). Went back with Carly. Spaghetti Parmesan is the specialty of the house.
6. "Packo's" in Toledo. Always go there in honor of Jamie Farr, Corporal Klinger from M*A*S*H* fame. The Hungarian hot dogs are really very good. The pickles are delightful, as well.
7. "Daddios" in Buffalo. Owner Jimmy rolls out the red carpet. Pizza, wings and great atmosphere makes this place a new favorite.
Honorable mention- Anchor Bar in Buffalo and the Italian place up the street from our hotel in Bethlehem, Pa. (don't remember the name)
1. Huntington Park in Columbus, Ohio. They built a new park and they got it right. In the "Arena District", we broadcast from outside. Plenty of amenities around make it a good trip. Nice hotel and the fact that my kids live there, make it my favorite stop.
2. Fifth Third Field in Toledo, Ohio. The staff is extremely helpful. Excellent park and it's always a blast hanging out with the "dean" of I.L. broadcasters, Jim Webber.
1. Interviewing Peter Gammons. The ESPN baseball expert and Hall of Fame honoree was gracious with his time. He told me that he enjoyed listening to me. How about that!
2. At Bat With Nat. Infielder Jeff Natale batted .1000 with his weekly pre-game interviews with teammates. I always got a good laugh..every time.
1. Robert Coello
2. Brad Wilkerson
3. Joey Gathright
4. Chris Duncan
1. Mark Kotsay
2. Paul Byrd
3. Rocco Baldelli
I guess I could go on and on. It has been a blast getting to know "new" guys like Billy Traber and being with old friends like Jeff Bailey. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the development of men like Clay Buchholz and Michael Bowden. It's great when former PawSox players like Kevin Youkilis come back for a rehab assignment and they're still as good guys as they were on the way up. Regardless of where the pieces to the 2009 puzzle wind up, I'm pretty sure we'll cross paths, again. I hadn't seen shortstop Chris Woodward in about 10 years, since we were together in Syracuse in 1999. Same for Indianapolis catcher Adam Melhuse. When you spend a season(s) with these guys, you form a bond that isn't easily broken. 85-58 or 58-85, this is a great job!

I'm glad the fans continued to come out and support the team – you can NOT beat the price or the experience at McCoy Stadium. Good luck to the PawSox next year!
Some of my favorite memories of 2009:
1. Coming back with a big rally in the bottom of the 9th in the spring, and winning the game in the 11th or 12th. It doesn't get any better than that.
2. Bard's pitching. Every time. Wow.
3. Chris Carter's many excellent at-bats. And the moment no one saw when he was signing a kid's ball, reached into the bucket, grabbed a Twizzler, signed that, too, and ran off to warm up while giggling like an impish 12-year-old.
4. Futures at Fenway (everything but the final score).
5. Yoooouk doing the Youky-Youk batting dance at the plate at McCoy.
6. Freddy Guzman stealing all those bases. Dang, that man can run… and hit.
7. Paul McAnulty finding a way to generate some excitement just before being traded.
8. Spike and Nat being their patient, congenial selves night after night and signing everything the fans offered up before games.
9. RJ being RJ. There had to be times when he was thinking, "What the h%&# is going on with these guys, and why can't we score one more … run," but he looked at the fans and smiled (or grimaced) anyway.
10. Jeff Bailey– who deserves to be playing SOMEWHERE in the majors every day.
11. Angel's many fabulous plays at third. Why haven't the Red Sox called this man up???
12. Fernando Cabrera. 23 for 23. Nobody in the IL was better than that this year. 'Nuff said.
13. The giveaways. Wow, PawSox marketing department, you really did us proud in the swag department this year.
Things I won't miss:
1. The hitting coach.
2. The wrong Duncan.
3. The revolving door at short.
4. All of those one-run losses.
5. Woodward at the plate.
6. Throngs of pre-adolescent boys screaming "Ball!" and body-checking season ticket holders between innings.
7. Inattentive parents.
8. Mid- and late-season trades that made us realize that Theo had given up on the season and favored player development above winning.
9. Using that ridiculous t-shirt gun for the soft-toss every night. Sends the wrong message to kids, methinks.
10. CVS lucky row of the game almost always being red and almost close to the main walkway. C'mon, CVS marketing guy, can't you mix it up a little? Throw the GA people and green sections an occasional crumb…
11. Theo trading Carter. A very, very, very stupid move, Theo. Almost as ridiculous as getting the wrong Duncan for Lugo…
Good luck during the off-season, guys… we'll see some of you again next year. And thanks to all of the excellent people working at McCoy who make PawSox games so enjoyable.

- Title
- Parameterization of the nonlocal viscosity kernel for an atomic fluid
- Author(s)
- Hansen, J. S.; Daivis, Peter J.; Travis, Karl P.; Todd, B. D.
- Abstract
- In this paper we present results for the wave-vector dependent shear viscosity for a model atomic fluid with short ranged repulsive interactions computed by molecular dynamics simulations. It is shown that the data can be fitted to two different simple functional forms over a large density range, namely, a function composed of two Gaussian terms and a Lorentzian type function with a variable wave-vector exponent. The parameters of both functional forms are found to obey simple density dependencies. While the first functional form has the advantage that the inverse Fourier transform can be found analytically, the Lorentzian type function fits the wave-vector dependence better over the range of wave vectors and densities studied here. The results show that the real space viscosity kernel has a width of 2 to 3 atomic diameters. This means that the generalized hydrodynamic constitutive relation is required if the strain rate varies significantly over this distance, a situation commonly encountered for nanofluidic flows.

Good Harbor Grill a Glen Arbor mainstay
In times of trouble, sailors often look for a safe harbor.
Longtime sailors Ann Derrick and Brendan Burrows found that a good harbor is even better, and for the past 22 years, patrons have agreed, making the Good Harbor Grill a favorite eatery.
Derrick and Burrows had long dreamed of owning a restaurant, even while living on a boat and sailing the Caribbean. Their decision 22 years ago to take over the family cottage in Northern Michigan led them to the Red Pine restaurant in Glen Arbor.
"We were living on the boat and thought about moving here," Derrick recalled. "When we decided to move back, we had to figure out what we were going to do.
"Brendan had worked in restaurants in the States and St. Thomas," she continued. "He'd learned a lot about the restaurant business."
Thus the decision to buy the Red Pine restaurant in Glen Arbor. They brought not only some recipes but a nautical theme to the restaurant, which they renamed Good Harbor Grill.
Derrick says returning patrons often look to see what new artwork they have on display inside.
To their surprise, the purchase of the Red Pine came with a bonus – the Pine Cone ice cream shop. But Derrick says that actually turned out to be a bonus in training future staff for the restaurant.
"The two are kind of joined at the hip. They share storage space, freezer space, well and septic.
"It's a good screening ground for employees. It's amazing the number of staff who started at the Pine Cone," she said.
The pair were among the forerunners utilizing the best local ingredients they could find. Derrick would often scour the surrounding countryside to find farm-fresh vegetables. Good Harbor Grill was one of the early partners of the Michigan Land Use Institute's Farm-to-Table program.
"Buying local has become a whole lot easier," said Derrick. "We even get things delivered now!"
The menu reflects not only local items but the pair's decision to offer items not often found in less populated locales, such as tofu scrambles for breakfast; a hearty Italian cioppino soup with lobster, wild caught Gulf shrimp, fish, mussels and sea scallops poached in a rich seafood and tomato broth; a Greek Pita sandwich with falafel, cucumber slices, tomato and a cucumber-dill sauce.
The menus also offer a selection of steaks, seafood, pasta and salads. But with all that, the fan favorite is typically Northern Michigan.
"The most popular is the whitefish, hands down," said Derrick. "We prepare it several dif ferent ways, do a lot of specials."
For herself, however, she looks to the soups and the turkey sandwiches as among her favorite items. "For years I made all the soups. I had quite a collection of recipes.
As to the turkey, Derrick says it is roasted in-house, then used in a number of different ways, including sandwiches, wraps and soups. "We roast it with the bone in – it's not deli turkey. We make our own stock for turkey soup."
She believes part of their longevity in the business has been the fact they have kept the restaurants seasonal.
"I think we would have burned out otherwise," she said. Now she looks to kitchen manager Ben Higgins and their son John Burrows to take on the lion's share of the work. Their other son grew up in the business as well, but has since moved to California.
But patrons still find Ann and Brendan putting in their time, both at the Pine Cone and Good Harbor Grill. That's in addition to running Glen Arbor Botanicals, the gallery they own which features art inspired by the plant world.
And by keeping it seasonal, they still find time to ply the waters of the Caribbean in the off-season.
Good Harbor Grill is located at 6584 Western Ave. in Glen Arbor. Call 334-3555 or go online to GlenArborWest.com. It is open 8 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. seven days in the summer. It is open mid-May to mid-October, with off-season hours offering dinner only on the weekend.
Don't miss: Cherry Pecan Whitefish (or Lake Trout). Locally caught, baked in a savory crust of pecans, dried tart cherries, spices and bread crumbs, with the rice or potato.
Dinners begin at $15, sandwiches at $6.75.

Court Report
Elliot Siaumau Sr. is asking the High Court to release his $100,000 bond, which had been revoked following his non-compliance with conditions of his release when he was charged following an April 2009 incident.
Charged with several counts, including assault, property damage and public peace disturbance, Siaumau Sr. had been released on $100,000 bail with conditions that he surrender his travel documents to the government, not leave the territory and remain a law abiding citizen.
However in April 2011 the government moved for the High Court to revoke bail for Siaumau Sr. for failing to comply with bail conditions, when prosecution presented evidence showing the defendant had left the territory six times.
Siaumau Sr. was then remanded into the custody of police pending his jury trial, where he was acquitted and released from jail. Last Friday, Sharron Rancourt, the lawyer for Siaumau Sr., asked the court to release the $100,000 bond to Siaumau Sr.
She explained in court the purpose for the bail was to assure the defendant's appearance in court, and he has always appeared in all his court cases, for which, following a jury trial he had been acquitted.
She added that Siaumau Sr. is not contesting that he violated the conditions of his release, however he always appeared for his court cases voluntarily and he suffered the consequences of spending time in jail until his jury trial — where he was acquitted.
Deputy Attorney General Mitzie Jessop who represents the government, did not object to releasing the $100,000 bond.
Chief Justice Michael Kruse last Friday took the matter under advisement.
Xue Mai Bai, a Chinese woman who was convicted of receiving stolen property and was sentenced to five years in jail with the condition that she leave the territory, wishes to return to American Samoa to visit. Bai had operated a business in the territory when convicted.
The motion for the court to terminate, or in the alternative modify the conditions of probation was filed through Bai's lawyer Marcellus Talaimalo Uiagalelei.
Bai was charged together with her husband Chi Zhi Ming who were both found guilty over two separate incidents of receiving stolen property.
Bai was found guilty of receiving stolen cartons of cigarettes.
Ming pled guilty to the count of receiving five IMAC computers, which had been stolen from the Department of Education warehouse in 2007.
They were sentenced in 2008 to serve seven years in jail, however execution of sentencing was suspended on the condition they leave the territory and not return for five years. They were also fined $5,000 each.
Uiagalelei told the court that Bai wishes to return to the territory to visit her family here, however Chief Justice Michael Kruse noted, that Bai did not go back to China, she's in Samoa and her family in the territory can visit her in Samoa.
Kruse added that immigration clearly states that given Bai is a convicted felon, she's excludable.
Deputy Attorney Mitzie Jessop, representing the government, said she does not object, however, no matter what probation recommends, Immigration will follow the law concerning convicted foreigners.
Kruse then took the motion under advisement. Samoa News understands Bai and her husband Ming are currently running businesses in Samoa.
A new pre-trial date has been scheduled for Tuilua'ai Fa'amausili, accused of passing bad checks and felony stealing, given that negotiations are ongoing between the government and the defendant.
Mrs. Fa'amausili, who's out on surety bond of $15,000 was in court last week for her pretrial conference, however both parties agreed to request a continuance for the purpose of seeking a resolution.
Chief Justice Michael Kruse granted the request and scheduled another pre-trial date next month. Mrs Fa'amausili is represented by Fiti Sunia while prosecuting this matter is Assistant Attorney General Cable Poag.
According to the government's case, in December 2011, owner of K & K Corporation filed a complaint with the Criminal Investigation Division of DPS against FTC Corporation— owned by the defendant Tuilua'ai Fa'amausili and Office of Motor Vehicle (OMV) Manager Mau Fa'amausili — for writing three checks to the victim's company on three separate occasions, with insufficient funds to cover the checks.
Tuilua'ai is charged with three counts of passing bad checks and three counts of stealing. Court documents say that on February 14, 2012 a written notice was mailed to the defendant by certified mail as to the non-payment of the bad checks.

Freedom New Mexico: Eric Butler Mark Vigil, owner of Mark's Restaurant and Catering, takes a look at the second floor of the Territorial House restaurant. A deal was finalized for Vigil to purchase the building, which he plans to turn into an Italian restaurant.
By Eric Butler: Freedom New Mexico
After the building's most recent incarnation ended a few years ago, a menu featuring the old list of entrees continued to be on display in front of the Territorial House restaurant on Second Street.
The place was called the Territorial House Mexican Grill, so the menu had many items with a south-of-the-border flair, along with several steak alternatives.
Now, Portales restaurant owner Mark Vigil intends to make Italian food the featured flavor.
Monday, Vigil said he completed the purchase of the Portales building — which has also been known as "The Roosevelt" restaurant and, previously, as a post office building and an office space for district judges.
Vigil, who owns and operates Mark's Restaurant and Catering, wouldn't disclose the purchase price of the building but did say he's shooting for an opening date in October for his new eatery.
"We closed on it today," Vigil said. "One of the reasons we even considered it was because of the awesome staff that we have (at Mark's). We've got a really good group of people with lots of talent. We thought there was room to create a couple of corps of great staffs."
Mark's Restaurant opened in August 1993 and did well enough that Vigil and his wife, Karyl, were able to move to Florida in 2002 on what he jokingly called "a vacation." Six-years-plus later, Vigil was back living in Portales.
He said he began thinking about the purchase of the old Territorial House late in 2008.
"It's an incredibly beautiful restaurant. The ballroom and chandeliers upstairs are phenomenal," Vigil said. "I think there's a lot of opportunity there for a lot of special events."
As for the idea of setting up a restaurant with Italian food as the main theme, Vigil thinks it's been about 15 years since one like that existed in eastern New Mexico.
"We're still working on the name, but I think it's set up to do that. And I think this region — Clovis, Portales, Cannon Air Force Base — has some places that might have a pasta dish, but I think it's such an elegant restaurant and I think an Italian restaurant would go really well," Vigil said.
Next door, at the Fashion Girl clothing store, Nancy Tivis said any kind of restaurant was bound to have a positive residual effect on her own business.
"Their main meal will be in the evening, and we'll be closed," Tivis said. "But, when the other restaurants were there previously, (customers) would come and look in the window and, if they saw something, I've had lots of people come in the next day to get something."

Man found asleep behind wheel at busy intersection
Police say man fell asleep after taking oxycodone pills
Madison police said a man took oxycodone pills and fell asleep behind the wheel of his pickup truck while it was stopped at a busy intersection on the city's east side Monday afternoon.
A citizen alerted police to the situation after looking into the suspect's pickup truck, which was stopped on East Washington Avenue at the intersection with Lexington Avenue, and saw the driver asleep with his foot on the brake.
A responding officer opened the driver's side door quickly and placed the truck in park before turning it off.
The driver awoke and said he had fallen asleep due to it being too hot in the cab, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.
However, even after he was out in the winter air, he continued to fall asleep while standing and trying to talk with the officer, police said.
Police said a bottle of oxycodone pills was found in the cab. It appears the driver has a prescription, and he later admitted he had fallen asleep several times Monday after consuming the drug, according to the incident report.
Police said they arrested the man, identified as Leland R. Schmidt, 44, of Madison, on a charge of operating a motor vehicle while impaired, second offense.

Who We Are -
The Montana Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative (GLCI) is a grassroots voluntary effort to enhance private grazing lands.
Approximately 70 percent of Montana is made up of rangeland and pasturelands, making grazing lands Montana's largest natural resource. In Montana alone, there are more than 40 million acres of privately owned grazing lands.
State GLCI coalitions promote voluntary technical assistance to landowners and managers, as well as an increased emphasis on grazing land research and education. The Montana GLCI identifies priority issues, finds solutions, and works to effect change on private grazing land.

My Memories of Harry
The untimely passing of Harry Kalas yesterday has left a void in the lives of Phillies fans everywhere. I'd like to say that I'd been listening to him since childhood, as many others have, but that would not be true. Though I was a baseball fan while growing up and through high school and college, I didn't really pay much attention to the announcers. It wasn't until I moved to Philadelphia and started to really follow the Phillies that I became enamored of Harry's wonderful voice.
Harry had one of those voices that could make anything sound better. He could probably have read my shopping list aloud and made it sound dramatic and meaningful.
In 2000, the Phillies had a Harry Kalas Tribute Night to honor his (then) 30 seasons with the Phillies. They gave away "Talking Harry"s, a beanbag/slammer type head that said some of his well-known phrases, like "struck him out" or "that ball's outta here" in the way only Harry could say it.
Yesterday, I got mine off the shelf to listen to it again. Ironically, its voice was gone, silenced by dead batteries.
The back of the tag pays tribute to Harry with this:
"The Voice"
Through 30 seasons, you've provided the soundtrack to our summers. You call the game with a balance of true professionalism and humor, grace and enthusiasm. With a nod to His Whiteness, we salute you as "The Voice" of Philadelphia and the Phillies. Thank you!
– Your Phans
I could not say it better myself. For those of you who may not know who His Whiteness was, it is a reference to Richie Ashburn, Harry's longtime broadcasting partner who had passed away in 1997.
A few years ago, I managed to revive its voice by carefully opening one of the seams and replacing the tiny batteries inside. I will have to do this again just to be able to hear "The Voice" for a little bit longer.
I was lucky enough to have met Harry a few brief times, and he was never in too much of a hurry to sign autographs or take photos with the fans. I'll share a few favorite photos.
Harry posed with my friend Jill and me (I'm on the left) at the Baseball 101 For Women event held in May 2007.
Also in 2007, Harry was kind enough to take this photo with my son at the annual Phillies Phestival.
Lastly, here I am with Harry at the 2008 Baseball 101 For Women event.
It will be strange this season not to hear Harry's voice during Phillies games, though I'm sure I'll adjust eventually. I imagine he and Whitey are together again, calling the games from heaven's booth. Rest in peace, Harry, we will miss you!

Sue, Nice posting! He had an amazing voice and was a legend. I grew up with the classic voices and hate that we're losing them.
By the way, in all the tributes to him, I haven't heard any mention of the fact that he broadcast Notre Dame football for quite a long time. I was telling Jordan about a player named Hiawatha Francisco (just imagine him enunciating every syllable) and the fact that Harry took so long to say his name that the next play was being called by the time Harry finished his call!
At least they beat the Nats yesterday at a stadium that is 2 and 1/2 blocks from my office.
Hey Sue – I still can't believe it. It was awful being at that game and seeing the look on the faces of the players; I don't know how they made it through. I was in the first row by the dugout too…kept thinking, OMG I hope I am not on TV crying, like just to make matters worse. I am so glad though that Harry got to see one last WS. He deserved it.
What a great tribute to Harry Kalas. I have only heard him a few times, but I can only imagine what it must be like for Phils phans to lose "the soundtrack of their summers." His family and his fans are in my prayers.
Sue – What a great tribute to an amazing man. I knew him more from his work on behalf of the NFL but what a voice! He will be missed. I will keep the Phillies' family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Awesome post! It is amazing to see all the people that have pictures of themselves with Harry. It just shows you what an amazing announcer and human being he truly was!
My picture with him is on my blog and I am also happy that I included it as a part of the book that I wrote as well.
Simply an awesome voice and a great man, we will miss Harry Kalas!
Major League Ballhawk
That was a great post. It's great that you will always have the memories.
Sue, my deepest condolences to you and other Phillies fans (and, of course, to Harry's family and friends). I'm so glad you have those pictures, as well as your memories.
This is definitely a tough loss for not only the Phillies organization, but for baseball as well. My thoughts and prayers are with the Phillies organization.
This is sad for all of us baseball fans indeed. How lucky you are to have such precious, personal memories of and with Harry. Those photos are priceless and I'm sure will be treasured in your family for years to come.
Thanks everybody for your kind comments. It's amazing to realize just how many people will miss Harry and his wonderful voice. Not only Phillies fans, but others who knew his work with NFL Films, commercials for Campbell's Soup, and even Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl. His voice was truly known nationwide.

About This Book
Based on rare archival material, obscure trial manuscripts, and interviews with relatives of the conspirators and the manhunters, Chasing Lincoln's Killer is a fast-paced thriller about the pursuit and capture of John Wilkes Booth: a wild twelve-day chase through the streets of Washington, D.C., across the swamps of Maryland, and into the forests of Virginia. This book, based on Swanson's adult bestseller, "Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer," is a true account for young readers about John Wilkes Booth's assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States.
* "...the rich details and suspense are ever present. Excellent black-and-white illustrations complement the text. Readers will be engrossed by the almost hour-by-hour search and by the many people who encountered the killer as he tried to escape. It is a tale of intrigue and an engrossing mystery. With the approaching bicentennial of Lincoln's birth, this is a most welcome addition to all libraries." — School Library Journal, starred review
"Swanson provides a fast-paced account of the assassination of the sixteenth president. Though Booth remains his principal focus, the author cuts cinematically among the actions of the other conspirators... Swanson's colorful account will hold readers' interest throughout." — Booklist
"Readers will find the list of the people involved a terrific help in keeping track of the large cast of characters. The sequence of events leading up to and following the assassination is meticulously detailed." — Kirkus Reviews

Integrated Device Technology said that Intel Corp. has selected it to develop an integrated transmitter and receiver chipset for Intel's wireless charging technology based on resonance technology. Intel, along with IDT, aims to deliver validated reference designs that are targeted for deployment in ultrabooks, all-in-one (AiO) PCs, smartphones, and standalone chargers.
"Our extensive experience in developing the innovative and highly integrated IDTP9030 transmitter and multi-mode IDTP9020 receiver has given IDT a proven leadership position in the wireless power market," said Arman Naghavi, vice president and general manager of the analog and power division at IDT.
Intel first demonstrated its Wireless Resonant Energy Link (WREL) back in 2009, but since then the technology has been on hold. This technology could allow people to cut the last cord that keeps mobile devices tethered. Potentially, devices can be charged seamlessly in various public places, such as cafés or restaurants, which will significantly boost battery lives of notebooks and other electronics that consumes higher amounts of energy and require relatively frequent recharging. In addition, wireless power transfer will likely improve usability of other wireless devices like keyboards, mice, storage devices, cameras and smartphones.
"We welcome the advancements in resonance technology and will support its continued success by delivering the most integrated and full-featured ICs in the world. IDT is excited to collaborate with Intel and looks forward to playing a key role in the proliferation of wireless power technology, resulting in benefits for IDT customers and shareholders," added Mr. Naghavi.

For some people, saving lives is just part of their job description. For others, holding the door for a fellow human being is an accomplishment worthy of Mariah Carey's 1993 classic "Hero" and a 21-gun salute. The people on this list fall into a third category. They're the ones who went above and beyond, sometimes sacrificing themselves in the process.
6 Police Officer Prevents Hundreds from Jumping Off the Golden Gate Bridge
We know what you're thinking. "This guy's a cop, isn't that what he gets paid for?" OK, how many cops dedicate their time to painstakingly listening to people's darkest troubles for hours at a time, all to prevent them from killing themselves? And how many of those cops have done this hundreds of times? Only one: California Highway Patrolman Kevin Briggs.
Either this guy gets off on the smell of suicidal despair, or he really is a genuine hero.
For 22 years, Briggs has patrolled Marin County's highways, and part of his beat includes the Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge is famous for two things: letting you know that Full House was based in San Francisco, and being the top suicide destination in the U.S. We're not sure if those two facts are related.
Have you ever been so good at a job that your co-workers call you in on your day off? Briggs is that good, too, only when he comes in to work, it's to keep someone from jumping to their death off a bridge. Briggs estimates that about twice a month he talks someone out of jumping -- so every 14 days or so he's going through a life or death emotional roller coaster.
Creatas Images/Creatas Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Twice as tough as an emotional monthly cycle (lycanthropy).
So what does he say that's so magical? Getting the other person talking about things they have to live for helps. And if that doesn't work, Briggs can bring up the time that he beat cancer (because of course he did). In his 22 years on the force, only one (ONE) person has jumped on Briggs' watch. Not even Batman can boast that kind of success rate. Briggs' tireless efforts have earned him the nickname "Guardian of the Golden Gate."
And if you're not feeling good about humanity yet, keep reading. In 2005, someone snapped a shot of Briggs talking to Kevin Berthia. Hands in his pockets, head down, feet teetering on the edge -- this 22-year-old new dad was done with life. Briggs talked Berthia into giving the world one more chance. Eight years later, Berthia was not only still alive, but on hand to thank Briggs in person for saving his life.
Winni Wintermeyer/People
Berthia fathered two children after the suicide attempt. One will cure all cancers; the other, AIDS.
Personally, we would have picked a different background picture, but whatever. It's still a happy ending.
5British Spy Saves Thousands of Jews During the Holocaust
Quick: Who saved the most Jews during the Holocaust? If you said Oskar Schindler, then we are actually a little proud that our readers took a break from perusing Cracked long enough to watch a meaningful and artistic film. Oh, and you're also totally wrong. Schindler saved about 1,200 Jews, and don't get us wrong, it was a very brave and caring act. But a British spy has him beat by about 9,000.
via BBC
Legend has it that he smuggled at least five families out in his eyebrows.
His name was Frank Foley (not exactly the coolest and most exotic name for a British spy). But he must have had a really cool undercover gig, right? Like he beat the Nazis at poker to win the Jews' freedom or something? Actually, his cover was a boring desk job: working as a passport officer for the British Embassy in Berlin. But being a passport officer was actually perfect. Foley was fully aware of the Jews' treatment by the Germans and didn't care for it one bit, so he began to forge passports and tweak visas so Jews could get to anywhere that wasn't under Hitler's rule. He even entered concentration camps to issue visas and travel documents to whoever he could save. And all these shenanigans were done without diplomatic immunity.
Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
It was more intense than even the craziest border control agent video game.
In the end, it's estimated that Foley saved upwards of 10,000 Jews from certain death. So where's his Oscar-winning movie? Well, very few people knew who had helped them escape, and those who did kept their mouths shut so they wouldn't get deported back to the country that just tried to kill them. Not to mention that what Foley did was illegal, and being a spy meant his missions were confidential. So Foley's story remained quiet for the rest of his days, and he wasn't acknowledged by the British government for this bravery until 2004, almost 50 years after his death.

It was a major victory in federal court on Wednesday for Jimmy Pflueger. The retired auto dealer was acquitted on all charges of tax fraud.
But this is not the end of Pflueger's legal troubles.
Pflueger was all smiles, but had little to say as he tried to slip away from our cameras as he left federal court.
"I'm overwhelmed, thank you," said Pflueger as he walked away from court. When asked what he meant he said, "I'm lucky to be here."
Pflueger was charged with conspiring to conceal from the IRS the profits from the sale of a land deal in California and with filing false federal income tax returns.
The government dropped a separate charge accusing Pflueger of hiding personal assets in a Swiss bank account.
U.S. District Judge Leslie Kobayashi said the government failed to prove Pflueger knowingly and willfully participated in the tax fraud and found him not guilty on all counts.
"In our system we go by evidence in court and I think the evidence here reflected he was innocent of the charges. To me that shows the system works and it works for a man who should have been exonerated," said Pflueger's attorney Steven Toscher.
Pflueger's accountant pleaded guilty last October to conspiring to defraud the IRS and assisting in filing of a false federal income tax return for Pflueger and his family. Sentencing for Dennis Duban is scheduled for next month.
Pflueger's attorney said this trial has been extremely stressful for his 87-year-old client.
"(Pflueger) has been under a lot of pressure. He happens to be a man of great fortitude and withstood a lot of this, so I commend him. But it's difficult for even someone much younger," said Toscher. "He's now entitled to a little peace."
But the retired car dealer still must pay back the taxes he owes and is still awaiting trial in state court on manslaughter charges in connection with the deaths of seven people who were swept away when the Ka Loko dam breached on Kauai's north shore in 2006.
That trial is scheduled for next month.

Joyner Honored with Leadership Award
On April 10, President Laurie M. Joyner gathered with students, faculty, and staff to honor individual and collective leadership across multiple campus areas during the annual Student Involvement Leadership Awards Program. During the event, which served as the kick-off activity for the four-day "Liberal Arts in Action: A Celebration of Learning," Joyner shared some welcome remarks and congratulatory words.
"One of my favorite leadership quotes is from Chris Lowney in his book Heroic Leadership in which he states that, 'A leader's greatest power is his or her personal vision, communicated by the example of his or her daily life.' The individuals here tonight have clearly reflected inwardly on what you care about and have made a conscious decision about the role you can play at Wittenberg and beyond."
Also at the event, Joyner was presented with the Richard R. Scott Outstanding Faculty/Administrator Support Award. This award, established in 1990 to honor former Dean of Students Richard R. Scott, recognizes the faculty member or administrator who displays outstanding dedication, service, and professionalism toward Wittenberg University and the fraternity/sorority community.

Marietta man honored for service
MARIETTA – A Marietta veteran who has received the Army Commendation Medal with the Valor Device for his selfless actions in the Vietnam War earned another prestigious honor Friday as he became the first Washington County veteran to be inducted into the Ohio Military Hall of Fame.
But when asked about his military service, 67-year-old Sgt. Gary Rhoades is more likely to start telling tales about the bravery of his fellow Vietnam veterans than about himself.
"There's a lot braver people over there than what I was and that deserve more than what they got," said Rhoades.
Despite his humble demeanor, Rhoades is more than deserving of the honor that was bestowed upon him Friday at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, said Washington County veterans service officer Roy Ash.
The Washington County Veterans Service Office nominated Rhoades for the honor.
"He was doing something way beyond what was expected of him. He said, 'I'm going to do this regardless of the risk to me.' It's above and beyond the call of duty," said Ash.
Rhoades completed two tours of duty in Vietnam, in the 1st Infantry Division and then as a heavy weapons adviser.
He received his Army Commendation Medal for actions against hostile Viet Cong forces on Nov. 3, 1967.
The citation reads: "He unhesitantingly ran through a hail of shrapnel and debris … to reach his mortar position … he continued to direct devastating fire onto the insurgents until they were forced to flee from the area."
Rhoades joked, "My wife likes to say I got my metal for running the wrong way."
But as Rhoades sees it, he was simply doing his job, a job that many other soldiers willingly did, and a job that many died doing, he said.
"There was a very, very brave man that died that night I was awarded the metal for," he recalled.
That soldier had previously been involved in an ambush and had retreated with his battalion back to base. Once the battalion was back safely, he drove out into the dangerous night to retrieve the bodies of two fallen soldiers, said Rhoades.
"That's how brave he was," he added.
Rhoades was surrounded by family as he became one of the 20 Ohio veterans to be inducted into the Ohio Military Hall of Fame this year.
"You know, I was honored to participate in something like that. To be on the same podium as some of those men was an honor," said Rhoades.
The inductees represented veterans of WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. And like Rhoades, all of the inductees had performed heroic acts of valor.
According to its website, the OMHF was founded in 2000 to recognize an exclusive group of Ohio veterans who have received medals of valor for their battlefield actions.
The induction into the OMHF is a small token of appreciation on behalf of Ohio to recognize Rhoades achievements and to make sure his actions are preserved as a part of history, said Ash.
Often, veterans will stash their medals in drawers or file their commendation away, said Ash. But with the OMHF, Rhoades name and actions will be forever preserved for Ohioans to appreciate, he said.
"Now his kids or his grandkids can go in there a generation from now and see his name," said Ash.

Testicular Cancer Survivors Often Report Behaviors That Increase Risk of Cardiovascular Problems, Penn Study Shows
CHICAGO — Despite being at risk of cardiovascular problems associated with testicular cancer treatment, survivors of the disease -- the most common type of cancer striking young men -- frequently report behaviors such as smoking and risky alcohol use that could further raise their chances of developing those late effects of treatment, according to a study from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania that will be presented at the annual meeting of American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting on Saturday, June 2.
Long-term studies have shown that testicular cancer survivors who received radiation and chemotherapy have an increased risk of cardiovascular problems and death compared to the general population, and that chemotherapy for the disease may also pose a higher risk of developing metabolic syndromes. Patients may reduce their chances of developing of these problems by adopting healthy diet and exercise habits, refraining from smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption, but the new study shows that many testicular cancer survivors are, instead, placing themselves at even greater risk.
The team studied 189 patients who were diagnosed with testicular cancer between 1990 and 2007 and recruited through the Pennsylvania Cancer Registry. Patients, who were, on average, 44 years old and 6.8 years post-diagnosis, completed surveys about various health habits. Almost 25 percent of patients surveyed reported current tobacco use, and 35 percent reported "risky" alcohol use, which the researchers defined as 14 or more drinks per week, four or more drinks during drinking days, or 5 or more drinks at a sitting at least twice over the past year. Half of patients reported participating in adequate aerobic exercise, but only 28 percent reported sufficient strength and flexibility activities. Unhealthy weight was the most commonly reported risk factor for cardiovascular problems, with 85 percent of survivors reporting a BMI that would classify them as overweight, and 35 percent of patients falling into the obese range.
Among barriers to healthy behaviors that might play a role in cardiovascular risk reduction, respondents cited cancer-related physical problems including neuropathy, pain, or hernia risk, and competing demands such as work or time constraints. Those who noted cancer-related barriers were shown to have a worse physical quality of life overall, and a higher BMI. Those who cited competing demands for their time appeared to have worse psychosocial quality of life and to report unhealthy eating habits and insufficient exercise.
The researchers suggest the findings could guide the creation of interventions aimed at reducing tobacco and risky alcohol use, as well as education and strategies to help patients improve their diets and boost their physical activity levels. Ideas to help patients adopt more healthy behaviors as they transition to life as cancer survivors might include such things as integrating "wellness" programs more explicitly into survivorship care, and providing patients with survivorship care plans that explain the potential long-term effects of cancer and its treatment and what can be done to minimize these effects.
"There has been fantastic progress made in treating testicular cancer," says Steven C. Palmer, PhD, a research assistant professor of Clinical Psychology in Psychiatry who serves as research director in the LiveSTRONG Living Well After Cancer program in Penn's Abramson Cancer Center. "Now there needs to be as much effort put into understanding how to support the healthy behaviors that will allow these men to reduce their risk of future health problems and improve both the quantity and the quality of their lives."
The study was funded by the National Cancer Institute (R03 CA124217-02) and the LIVESTRONG Foundation.
Editors Note: Linda Jacobs, PhD, RN, a co-author of the study and director of the Abramson Cancer Center's LIVESTRONG Survivorship Center of Excellence, will present the study findings (Abstract # 9145) in the Patient and Survivor Care poster session on Saturday, June 2 between 8 a.m. and noon in S Hall A2 of McCormick Place in Chicago.

Dermal Irritation in 3-Dimensional Reconstructed Human Epidermis Tissues: EpiDerm, epiCS, EpiSkin and SkinEthic RCE
3-D reconstructed human epidermis (RhE) models such as the EpiDerm (MatTek), epiCS (CellSystems) EpiSkin and SkinEthic RHE (EpiSkin SA) are organotypic in vitro models of human epidermis which can be utilized in a variety of assays to evaluate the dermal irritation, corrosivity, cytotoxicity, phototoxicity, and/or anti inflammatory potential of test materials. Viability of the tissues is determined using the vital dye MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide). The reduction of MTT in test material-treated tissues is expressed as a percentage relative to negative control-treated cultures.
The EpiDerm, epiCS, EpiSkin and RHE tissue models are made from human epithelial cells, which are cultured on specially designed cell culture inserts. The cells differentiate to form a fully differentiated epidermis, complete with a functional stratum corneum (see picture below). An advantage of using 3-D tissues is that test materials are applied topically, so solids, undiluted final formulations, and insoluble test materials can be tested.
MTT, a vital dye, is actively taken up by the EpiDerm, epiCS, EpiSkin or RHE tissues and subsequently reduced in the mitochondria of living cells. This chemical reaction produces a purple-colored compound (formazan) within the cells, causing the live tissues to turn deep purple in color. For specific assay procedures, please see Step-by-Step.
Assay Design: Quick Facts
Tissue Models: EpiDerm (MatTek), epiCS (CellSystems), EpiSkin and SkinEthic RHE (EpiSkin)
Assay Types:
- Corrosivity and Skin Irritation Test assays following OECD Test Guidelines (TG 431 and TG 439, respectively).
- Skin Irritation Potential using a Time-to-Toxicity Screening protocol to determine an ET50 value (the exposure time that induces a 50% reduction in tissue viability, relative to negative or solvent controls). This approach allows for comparative skin irritation / skin tolerance evaluations for product development and product stewardship beyond the limited scope of regulatory classification and labeling tests.
- Cytokine Expression Profiles supplement the viability assessments to refine skin tolerance / skin irritation evaluations, especially for products formulated to be mild (or anticipated to have mild irritation potential).
- Anti-inflammatory Activity Screening is performed by evaluating an Active Ingredient's ability to inhibit or reduce the release of inflammatory cytokines in tissues pre-induced with an inflammatory agent such as a phorbol ester.
- Phototoxicity for topically-applied complex formulations
For more information about testing your materials, please see Applications.
For more information about testing your materials using this assay, please see Applications.
Specialized protocols may be prepared as requested through consultation with an IIVS Study Director.

Minimal design and a simple, intuitive display make Kisai On Air one of the most attractive watch designs available from Tokyoflash Japan. Featuring a colored LCD display with touch screen technology, time, date and alarm, Kisai On Air is the fourth concept design submitted by a fan to become reality.
The limited edition Kisai On Air watch is available in four display colors each with LED backlighting. The LCD display is always on so the time can be read at a glance and the LED backlight function means it will light up on demand, a useful function for night time.
The touch screen display has four hot-zones (top, bottom, left, right) which you can simply touch with your finger to change mode; time, date, alarm, light up.
Holding your finger in place for a few seconds allows you to customise; hold your finger over the alarm zone to set the alarm, hold it over the time zone to set the time. It's intuitive, simple and fun to operate.
After 15 seconds the screen will lock to prevent accidental input, however the LED light up function can always be operated. To unlock the display, simply swipe your finger across the screen from left to right.
On Air's time display is minimal and intuitive. The digital numbers on the screen are the hour hand and point to the current hour in the same was as the hand on a clock. The digits on the screen are the current minutes. Reading the time couldn't be easier.
In February 2010, Tokyoflash opened its Design Studio Blog to showcase its concept designs and request ideas for new watch designs from fans. The idea for Kisai On Air was submitted by Iskender Asanaliev & Adilet Asanaliev from Kyrgyzstan and was voted as one of the most popular designs by fans. This is the fourth concept submitted by a fan to become reality.
Find out more about the original concept on the Tokyoflash Design Studio BLOG.

You are listening to a hybrid electronic/orchestral piece of music that was highly influenced by the music of a famous movie that mostly plays within the circuits of a computer system ("Tron Legacy")
It perfectly fits for any trailer, teaser, film or video production of that genre.
