Surprising Organization Revealed By New Look At Cell Membrane
Using a completely new approach to imaging cell membranes, a study by researchers from the University of Illinois, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the National Institutes of Health revealed some surprising relationships among molecules within cell membranes.
Led by Mary Kraft, a U. of I. professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering, the team published its findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Cells are enveloped in semi-permeable membranes that act as a barrier between the inside and outside of the cell. The membrane is mainly composed of a class of molecules called lipids, studded with proteins that help regulate how the cell responds to its environment.
"Lipids have multiple functions serving as both membrane structure and signaling molecules, so they regulate other functions inside the cell," Kraft said. "Therefore, understanding how they're organized is important. You need to know where they are to figure out how they're doing these regulatory functions."
One widely held belief among cell biologists is that lipids in the membrane assemble into patches, called domains, that differ in composition. However, research into how lipids are organized in the membrane, and how that organization affects cell function, has been hampered by the lack of direct observation. Although the cell membrane is heavily studied, the imaging techniques used infer the locations of certain molecules based on assumed associations with other molecules.
In the new study, Kraft's team used an advanced, molecule-specific imaging method that allowed the researchers to look at the membrane itself and map a particular type of lipid on mouse cell membranes. The researchers fed lipids labeled with rare stable isotopes to the cells and then imaged the distribution of the isotopes with high-resolution imaging mass spectrometry.
Called sphingolipids (SFING-go-lih-pids), these molecules are thought to associate with cholesterol to form small domains about 200 nanometers across. The direct imaging method revealed that sphingolipids do indeed form domains, but not in the way the researchers expected.
The domains were much bigger than suggested by prior experiments. The 200-nanometer domains clustered together to form much larger, micrometer-sized patches of sphingolipids in the membrane.
"We were amazed when we saw the first images of the patches of sphingolipids across the cell surface," said Peter Weber, who directed the team at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. "We weren't sure if our imaging mass spectrometry method would be sensitive enough to detect the labeled lipids, let alone what we would see."
Furthermore, when the researchers looked at cells that were low on cholesterol - thought to play a key role in lipid aggregation - they were surprised to find that the lipids still formed domains. On the other hand, disruption to the cell's structural scaffold seemed to dissolve the lipid clusters.
"We found that the presence of domains was somewhat affected by cholesterol but was more affected by the cytoskeleton - the protein network underneath the membrane," Kraft said. "The central issue is that the data are suggesting that the mechanism that's responsible for these domains is much more complicated than initially expected."
In addition, the new study found that sphingolipids domains were incompletely associated with a marker protein that researchers have long assumed dwelled where sphingolipids congregated. This means that data collected with imaging techniques that target this protein are not as accurate in representing sphingolipid distribution as previously thought.
"Our data are showing that if you want to know where sphingolipids are, look at the lipid, don't infer where it is based on other molecules, and now there's a way to directly image them," said Kraft, who also is affiliated with the department of chemistry at the U. of I.
Next, the researchers plan to use the direct-imaging method in conjunction with other more conventional methods, such as fluorescence, to further determine the organization of different kinds of molecules in the membrane, their interactions and how they affect the cell's function. They plan to begin by targeting cholesterol.
"Cholesterol abundance is important," Kraft said. "You change that, you tremendously change cell function. How is it organized? Is it also in domains? That's related to the question, what's the mechanism responsible for these structures and what are they doing?"
The National Institutes of Health, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the National Science Foundation and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund supported this work. Co-author Joshua Zimmerberg directed research at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Dev
The paper, "Direct chemical evidence for sphingolipid domains in the plasma membranes of fibroblasts," is available from PNAS.

As I walked up the dock with a cartload of items, I noticed my neighbor working on his boat. A 34-foot cruiser/racer was tied up in between us. We began talking over the cabin top of that boat when he paused and interjected the following question guaranteed to stop sailors in their tracks: "Does this boat look like its sinking to you?"
The boat had been listed by the marinas brokerage for several months, and at one point would have made a good racer/cruiser, but now it was a far cry from a turnkey operation. Turn-scrub brush would be a more accurate description. Sleek, capable lines and a double-spreader rig and running backstays marked it as a performer, but its fading gelcoat, with mold and grime-covered decks and deteriorating sail cover marked it as an orphan. The brokerage sign meant it wavered in the nebulous area between past and future owners and it was apparent that the present moment was a bleak one.
Hopping aboard, I leaned out on the shrouds. The boat hardly budged. The lack of motion suggested more an elephant sleeping in its hold more than a lively sailing vessel. Peering inside the darkened Lexan windows I saw several hundred gallons of water, the surface lapping gently just below the cushions. No doubt about it, she was going down at the dock.
What to do? The boat was locked for one thing, but rummaging around in the lazerette revealed a manual emergency bilge pump. Several pumps on the handle sent water shooting out the sides of the deteriorating pump, soaking everything inside the lazerette. The hose was led to a thru-hull that exited below the waterline. Bubbles came up from beneath the boat, but we could only guess that the amount of water being removed was less than inspiring.
We flagged down a passing dockhand and informed him of the situation, then he sauntered off to the marina office to call the owner. Meanwhile, I dashed to get my bolt cutterswe were at the point that if this had been my boat, the lock would be the last thing I'd worry about. So I snipped the rusting lock off. Down below was a sailors worst nightmare. The water was knee-deep and rising, and it had filled the cupboards and compartments, saturating their contents. Removing the companionway hatch revealed the engine air intake would be submerged if the water kept up its rate of inflow.
By this time, a small crowd had gatheredits not everyday a boat is discovered sinking at the dock after all and nothing will attract a crowd in a marina like a vessel in distress. Following a strange, this-is-what-a-sinking-boat-is-like mindset, other volunteers clambered below for some first-hand experience in bailing a boat by bucket.
Slowly, the water inside started to recede, although it was still a mystery where it was leaking in. Another passing dockhand came to investigate. By now four volunteer bailers were thoroughly drenched by the inexact process of bailing with a five-gallon bucket. A gallon of water weighs eight pounds, so fatigue was becoming a factor here as well.
Though we requested that the dockhand bring us an auxiliary pump, he informed us that the marinas only pump was currently in use keeping an ownerless, wood sportfishing boat afloat and couldnt be spared because that boat would sink. Then he just as quickly disappeared again. (This individual was later sighted in the parking lot taking out the garbage wearing surgical gloves, while the fight to keep one of his company's clients afloat continued.)
With all the seacocks closed, we watched as water began slowly pooling in the worst of all possible places: at the top of the keel bolts. A closer inspection of the keel bolts revealed them to be in less than stellar condition. Now the pieces of the puzzle were falling into place. The boat, and its five-foot, nine-inch draft had recently been moved to a higher-trafficked area of the marina in the hopes of finding a buyer. The new berth coincidentally offered less water. So with big tides and a full moon, the boat had at some time heeled over and grounded its keel in the thick mud beneath at low tide. The bolts were in bad enough shape to begin with that the force on the keel allowed the ingress of water. All of this boiled down to the fact that the owner was facing a prompt trip to the yard for some major repairs.
The owner would still have to continue bailing his boat non-stop he got it to the hard, and we were all hard-pressed to offer him much consolation. I pointed out that the yard was only a few miles up the Intracoastal Waterway, and that he luckily wasnt in some forlorn part of the world where such repairs couldnt be made. At least the boat had the courtesy to sink at the dock, and not over the horizon in endlessly deep waters.
Springing a Leak
If water is above the floorboards and flotsam is floating inside the boat, its sinking and now is the time for action. Try this three-step, common sense plan:
1. Close the thru hulls.
2. Track down the leak and stop it.
3. Bail until the boat is dry.
If the water rises above the batteries, these could short circuit and deliver a hefty electrical jolt to potential rescuers standing in water, which would likely elminate bilge-pumping options in the process. Turning the battery switch off at this point isnt likely to help. Obviously if water enters the air intake, the engine should not be run and youll need a mechanic ASAP.
It pays to have your boats electrical and plumbing systems up to code. Not only so they work each time they are called on, but also to save time in the event someone else needs to come aboard and save your boat in your absence. If you regularly twist bare wires together to get your bilge pump running, chances are someone else wont be aware of such idiosyncrasies. Having emergency bungs in an accessible place should someone need to find them in your absence is also prudent.
If you do have to start emergency bailing, mark the water level inside the boat with a pencil and note the time, or glance to see where the water level is in relation to the settee trims or other marks to see if you are making headway. Also, it makes for a calmer situation if you can occasionally step off onto something solid, like a dock.
Test your manual bilge pumps periodically; don't just assume that they'll work. Seals and gaskets can wear out and become punctured in the recesses of lazerettes when anchors, chain, or chemicals come in contact with them. Electric bilge pumps are only as effective as the battery voltage that powers them. Regardless of what type of pump you may have, screens on the intake end of the hose are mandatory to keep gunk from clogging the pumps.
Keep in mind that the experience of paid dockhands varies from marina to marina. Some have seen and done it all, while others may have problems tying a cleat or identifying the pointy end of a vessel. If you are confronted with a true boating emergency, don't assume that these folks have the training or experience to do what's necessary when time is of the essence.

One month Journey of SAIKISITE
Hello, People
Here in this article on SAIKISITE, I am going to share with you all the first-month journey of SAIKISITE. I feel it's important to share everything that I've learned or will learn in my coming days in the field of Blogging. So from now, after every one month, I'll publish a post to share with you all every important thing that I'll learn or will experience through SAIKISITE. I feel it's important for all the bloggers to
understand the real work behind blogging and the real meaning of having your own blog. I am very sure that my experience will help many of the budding bloggers.
So here, I am going to talk about the first month of SAIKISITE.
How did we start?
Exactly a month back, on this day that is on the 24th of June 2016, SAIKISITE was established. I have a very good friend, Vishal Jaiswal (co-founder of SAIKISITE), who is a master in the field of Web designing and SEO (Search Engine Optimization). So, Vishal visited my house as I was also home due to the summer breaks of my college. We started talking about blogging and he told me lots of interesting things about SEO. That was the first time that someone gave such a deep knowledge on blogging to me. I told Vishal to stay for a night to discuss more about blogging and SEO.
Around 2 AM that night, we decided that we must start our own blog but not like the usual ones. So, I told him that let's buy our own domain and let us work seriously on this thing. He agreed and we started looking for a domain name on the internet.
Around 2 AM that night, we decided that we must start our own blog but not like the usual ones. So, I told him that let's buy our own domain and let us work seriously on this thing. He agreed and we started looking for a domain name on the internet.
Our Domain Name
A lot of people have asked me this question many times that why do we have this name (SAIKISITE) as our domain. Well, actually that night when we could not decide at all about our domain name, I woke my mother up, briefly told her about everything and asked her for a domain name. Obviously, she wasn't happy that I woke her up in the middle of the night but still she told me to make this website, SAI BABA's website. SAI BABA is an Indian spiritual master and we are all very big worshipers of him. So, we were confused but finally decided to have the name SAIKISITE that means SAI BABA's website (SAI+ KI+SITE). The 'KI' here is in Hindi. So , it is a Hindi + English name and spirituality is involved in it.
We bought our domain name (www.saikisite.com) from GoDaddy.com for around Rs.600/- and marked our start.

Alos Read: How to be a successful Blogger?
Our First Plan
So, that night after purchasing the domain name, we made a short plan and decided that we'll always follow few rules and will never violate them.
We decided that all our posts will be in English but in a very simple language so that anyone who understands the basic English language can understand them.
We decided that we will provide all the young budding writers (of schools, colleges etc.), a platform through SAIKISITE to publish their brilliant articles.
We decided that anyone can write on anything and they can send it to us and we will publish it after going through it properly. Click here
We decided that we both (Me and Vishal) will divide our work and every night we will be having a telephonic or messaging meeting about SAIKISITE
So, this was our first ever plan and after this, our journey began.
Also Read: How to Make Money Online?
So, after having our own domain name, we decided that we will start the blogging using the Blogspot by Google for at least few days as our starting. We thought that we will learn a lot from it and I would even request every new blogger out there to start their blogging using Blogger.com only. It teaches you the basics of Blogging and develops your interest in it. Before SAIKISITE, I've never done blogging earlier ever but after using Blogger.com for few of the starting days, I started loving it and learned a lot from it.
Our Team
As I've already told you that I and Vishal started this website to promote the young budding writers to use SAIKISITE as a platform to showcase their writing talent and share their knowledge with the world. So, we started talking to people who wanted to write but they didn't know where to start from? As days passed, we even received 4-5 calls and emails from people who wanted to write for SAIKISITE. So, within 20 days of our starting, we got 3 to 4 people who wanted to publish their articles on SAIKSITE. Click here.
I adopted a Good Habit
As I wanted to have at least 1-2 posts every day on SAIKITE (which is not an easy task if you're planning for an SEO based quality articles), so it was very important for me to change my ways and habits. The most important one was reading. I was never into reading but I developed a habit of reading things from the internet. Always remember that reading is very important for a blogger. You cannot blog if you do not read. So, I started reading a lot and I also started watching videos of many famous Bloggers.
I am really inspired by Mr. Harsh Agrawal, the founder of Shoutmeloud.com

Our Progress
We were posting 1-2 articles almost every day and I was enjoying Blogger.com a lot. Our meeting platform was mainly Whatsapp where every night we used to discuss our progress and also ways to improve our website. Within just 18 days, our total page views reached over 10000. We posted all our posts on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and every other social networking platforms. We wrote articles on many topics such as Tips and Tricks, Alexa Rank, Entertainment, Making money online, Blogging etc.. From the very first day one of our main goals was to achieve the Alexa Rank within one month and today when I'm writing this article, we got our Alexa Rank. The most important development that took place in this one month is that we shifted on WordPress just on the 24th day of SAIKISITE's release.
Using WordPress is little bit complicated as compared to the Blogger.com. So, it is very important to work on the Blogger.com for the starting days because it teaches you a lot. The shift to WordPress took 3-4 days which resulted in the decrease of the rate of articles posting. If you are serious about blogging and you want to continue it as a serious business then you must shift on the WordPress. We used Bluehost to host our WordPress and we purchased a 1 year US hosting of Rs. 3468/-.
So getting the Alexa Rank in just one month was the highest point for me for this month.
Now, all our articles are being published and read by people around the world. Now, the plan for our next month is to put an intense hard-work and bring out the best articles for our readers. We'll also aim to improve our Alexa Rank and generating money through our blog.
Keep reading SAIKISITE and every month on this date I'll be sharing my one month experience with SAIKSITE to help you all. If you have any question or suggestion, please comment below.
Thank You !

And we're done...
It's been an eventful day on the Guide Daily. After our report on the UK Twerking Championships, Basement Jaxx tweeted us to let us know they have a contender for the crown. To be frank I'm no expert in the rules of twerking at a competition level but I suspect having a robotic exoskeleton rules one out.
Don't forget to pick up tomorrow's Guide, in which we go on set of the new Doctor Who - here's a sneak peek at the cover.
Also in the issue, an interview with Luc Besson, Lethal Bizzle lifting weights, Most Haunted, and Sylvester Stallone getting the Infomania treatment. Have a grand weekend.
Haven't I see you somewhere before?
Nearly forgot to express my bemusement at the FOX series Wayward Pines, a 10-part thriller directed by M Night Shyamalan due to come to UK screens next year.
The series will star Matt Dillon as a secret service agent investigating a murder in a sinister, remote town in which everyone is harbouring their own secrets. If this sounds familiar - AND OF COURSE IT BLOODY DOES – M Night himself has fessed up this is pretty much a straight Twin Peaks rip off.
All the same, the audacity is quite something, isn't it? Perhaps after he can turn his attention to new productions like The Rhinoceros Man, Hidden Highway and Mullhollywood Drive. That's if The Last Airbender 2 doesn't get in the way.
This week's #reviewanything is up, by the way
Within, we appraise phlegmy death metal, a hideous JLS portrait and a song about Luke Haines. Go see.
You've seen this Flying Lotus teaser right?
Not for epileptics, or indeed for anyone who feels uncertain about the sensation of having your brain sucked out your ear and catapulted through a wormhole. On acid.
It's to promote the LA rap producer's forthcoming new album You're Dead, a "shamanic pilgrimage into the psychedelic unknown of the infinite afterlife". Also along for the ride, Snoop Dogg and Herbie Hancock.
Meanwhile, when Steve Ellison isn't being Flying Lotus, he's a rapper called Captain Murphy, and is rather down with the US adult cartoon network Adult Swim. Witness here his colourful creation story.
The UK has a new twerking champion
Good news for fans of muscular but still mobile buttocks: the UK Twerking Championships 2014 took place at London's Scala last night, and here's a video of the highlights.
Thirteen women took place in the head-to-head – arse-to-arse? – battle, with first place going to Jemini, who wins £1000 and a chance to shake her stuff on Nicki Minaj's UK tour.
For me the most intriguing moment comes about 20 seconds in, when a reclining man is twerk-slammed (is there a word for this?) and then sort of buttock-pummelled (and this?) repeatedly. The look on his face: neither agony nor ecstasy, but somewhere betwixt.
Also: blimey.

Enter the Clickhole
Very much enjoying The Onion's new site Clickhole, a sort of send-up of Buzzfeed/listicle journalism, which is obviously far, far beneath us at here at the Guide Daily.
Current highlights include '7 Highlights You're The 'I Live In The Heating Ducts' Guy In Your Office', 'Are You A Real '90s Kid With Lupus?' and '9 Impossibly Cute Animals Eating People Food, By Guest Aggregator Jonathan Franzen'.
The internet just ate itself.
Not true, Tupac: the Guardian Guide is also equipped for such purpose. It's #reviewanything day, and in case you're wondering, that is exactly what it sounds like. You send us things that you, or your friends, or enemies have made - expressions of your deep inner psyche, rendered as cultural product - and we kindly appraise it, albeit often in a way that you won't want to include on a future press release.
Still, as they say - don't read your press, weigh it. Does that work on the internet?
Jacko's back!
Sort of. I think it's very much a reflection of the sheer abundance of the King Of Pop's talents that, even several years after his death, he continues to release brand new music. Last night, for instance, he returned from the great hereafter to tweet the following.
It's not the only Jacko song to be rattling round the web today, so let's settle down to appraise them both.
Michael Jackson - A Place With No Name
Dawn in the desert. Waves lash against a shore. A woman - not sure who - appears to have got tangled in a bedsheet. Brief shot of Michael Jackson in white tanktop, possibly gleaned from a bit of film found on a cutting room floor. Song is a squelchy electronic funk number about getting a flat tyre in the desert, a theme the video wisely attempts to render as literally as possible.
Jackson is looking for "a place with no name", which may be why he is lost in the first place.
I wish the video would stop going between colour and black-and-white as temporally speaking, it's kind of upsetting. Maybe this is unavoidable when you have to beam a song in from the afterlife.
Guide rating: 3/5
Michael Jackson - Days In Gloucestershire
A long lost, recently rediscovered demo, Days In Gloucestershire was reportedly written in 1998 and recorded in 2003, with the King Of Pop planning to complete it while in the UK, possibly around those Shows That Never Happened.
The song deals with Jacko's happy memories of a Jackson 5 visit to the English county, known for its pigs, cheese-rolling and Fred and Rose West. None of these are addressed in the song, although its bucolic prettiness reminds one a little of Nick Drake, and Jackson's pronunciation of "Gloucestershire" proves he was still as this stage brave enough to push the envelope and challenge familiar language norms. In short, a great addition to the Michael Jackson catalogue.
Guide rating: 4/5
In 'Er, is this OK' news
The TV series American Horror Story: Freak Show have cast one Jyoti Amge, the world's smallest woman.
Bit more on that here.
Kanye fires DJ, but still the messiah, apparently
Do you essentially have quite a lot of respect for Kanye West as both man and artist, but also enjoy having a chuckle when embarrassing things happen to him? Then we may be soulmates and you should take a look at this YouTube compilation of clips of his DJ - former DJ I might add – buggering things up, live, in front of large audiences.
Luckily the feeling is definitely totally mutual and he's pretty cool about it. I think.
Have you heard about this thing Church Of Yeezus? It's the work of some guy called Brian from a relatively uninteresting bit of America who has decided that Kanye West is the new messiah. The natural response to something like this is that he is, in the UK parlance, taking the piss. But I actually got him on the phone a few months back and he seemed unusually sincere. Over to Brian:
It's taking the tenets of Christianity, ideas from new-school thought, and rehashing them together with Kanye as the model of behaviour, if you will. I've been a fan since The College Dropout, but he put the idea out there, with his album Yeezus. That song, I Am A God – I didn't want to sing along at first, I was like, is this blasphemous?
No one believes in themselves like Kanye. People say he's self-obsessed, but nothing could be further than the truth. He's a giving person who's passionate about bringing his vision to life. Just sometimes he gets a little rude.
Magnificently, Yeezianity seems to have legs. A video arguing his divinity here.

If Chris Robshaw felt bereft at being an onlooker during the important rugby business of the summer – the winning Lions tour of Australia, the winning England tour of Argentina – it did not prevent him enjoying the trappings associated with captaining his country for the previous 18 months. "I've done some brilliant things," he said. "I went to Silverstone to meet Jenson Button; I played a round of golf with Rory McIlroy at Wentworth. It's been a hugely privileged position I've been in, and not for one second do you take stuff like that for granted because you know at any moment it could disappear. You enjoy it – but first and foremost you play rugby, don't you? You make sure you perform and hopefully you're winning."
Not this summer, though. The official line is that once Robshaw was overlooked by the Lions, his England and Harlequins coaches – Stuart Lancaster and Conor O'Shea respectively – ordered him to take a rest. Each would have had their reasons. O'Shea's Quins lost their Premiership semi-final last season at Leicester, when Robshaw was missing injured. Having since had a couple of beach holidays followed by a full pre-season programme, he is "fresh and ready to go" for next week's Aviva Premiership kick-off against Wasps at Twickenham.
Meanwhile Lancaster was able to try out new combinations and players – including Gloucester's fast-breaking, ball-scavenging openside Matt Kvesic and the bullocking Saracens No 8 Billy Vunipola – on a trip to South America where England won the Test series against an understrength Argentina 2-0. Tom Wood was captain, and many pundits see the Northampton back-rower as likely to retain the role when the national team meet in October ahead of the autumn internationals.
"Every season you want to be a better player and playing in a better team than you were last season," Robshaw said. "Everyone wants to be in that starting XV for England. [But] there's eight club games to play before England meet up and you've got to make sure you're playing well and you're fit. It's all about Harlequins at the moment. We've got five massive Premiership games from which we want to take momentum into Europe."
There is a little of the new-age, small-screen superstar about Robshaw – the hair crimped into a pyramid, the occasional red-carpet venture chaperoning his opera singer girlfriend Camilla Kerslake – but a hell of lot more of the archetype of the English flanker who has toiled the turf of English public schools (he went to Millfield) and London clubs for decades longer than BT ever fought Sky over rugby TV rights. Nostrils flared, knees pumping, stout heart beating, Robshaw is as likely to smash an opponent in the tackle in the 80th minute as in the first.
The 27-year-old Harlequin's problem is not a lack of quality; just that as an all-rounder, he may not hold down any of the jerseys numbered six, seven and eight when everyone is available. That was certainly the verdict against him with the Lions' coach Warren Gatland. A clutch of occasions when Robshaw's decision-making was questioned in its correctness and decisiveness did not help, although he will forever have a famous victory over the All Blacks among his 10 wins and six losses as England captain.
BT are paying around £100m to broadcast live Premiership matches exclusively for the next four years. The newbies promise cameras in dressing rooms and player interviews at half-time but these are voluntary on the clubs' part, and Harlequins have declined both ideas. Instead Mark Mapletoft, the 2012 champions' backs coach, will speak during next Saturday's match against Wasps.
Robshaw cut to the obvious flaw if anyone is expecting in-depth revelations. "A player interview could be interesting," he said. "But it could potentially give you an angle on the other team.
"We're not doing it but if we're playing Leicester, say, and I come off and go, 'Oh, they've exploited us loads around the wingers and we're struggling', someone on their side will hear it and say, 'we'll keep doing it because they can't deal with it'."
In three pre-season matches – Quins lost 28-40 to Racing Métro in Geneva, and beat London Scottish 40-15 and Glasgow Warriors 19-16, both at home – Robshaw has seen the on-trial scrum engagement result in long scrums, quick scrums, and scrums going up and down. A work in progress, let's say.
Dean Richards, the new-old face among the Premiership's coaches, once of Harlequins and now with promoted Newcastle, has brought his customary barb to the prediction game, omitting Quins from a group of three clubs – Leicester, Saracens and Northampton – he regarded as a class above the other nine.
"I think it's always very competitive," said Robshaw, "and what people like about our league is anyone can beat anyone on their day. No one expected Northampton to win at Saracens in the semi-finals last season. The better teams know how to grind it out when they don't play well. We fell short and it's about learning from what we did.
"There are days when the sun's shining and you can play free-flowing rugby but there are some wet and miserable days, when you put the ball up your jumper and just kick your goals.
"I think you've got to make sure you're in the top four, and not just at the end. You want to be the ones chasing the leaders, which will be Leicester, I'm sure, being the champions."
Quins have recruited a pair of England exiles: Nick Kennedy from Toulon to grease the wheels of the line-out and nurture George Merrick and Sam Twomey; the effervescent Paul Sackey to provide experienced cover on the wing. Paul Doran-Jones from Northampton takes over from the mighty tighthead James Johnston, who has gone to Saracens.
As for the golf… "I halved the first hole with Rory and that was as good as it got," Robshaw said, and though he saw the joke that it might have been wise to walk off then, there was no chance of him giving up.
What's new this season: Fresh faces and whole new ball game in the scrum...
Coaching changes
The two Deans, Ryan and Richards, at Worcester and promoted Newcastle. In the Pro 12, Matt O'Connor (formerly at Leicester) takes over the champions Leinster, while Lyn Jones swaps London Welsh for Newport Gwent Dragons.
Top forwards on the move
Alex Corbisiero (London Irish to Northampton), Matt Kvesic (Worcester to Gloucester), James Johnston (Harlequins to Saracens), Billy Vunipola (Wasps to Saracens), Matthew Rees (Scarlets to Cardiff Blues), Gethin Jenkins (Toulon to Cardiff Blues), John Barclay (Glasgow to Scarlets), Jonathan Thomas (Ospreys to Worcester), Nick Kennedy (Toulon to Harlequins), Jérôme Schuster (Perpignan to Leicester), Andy Saull (Saracens to Newcastle), Agustin Creevy (Montpellier to Worcester).
... and backs
George North (Scarlets to Northampton), Jonathan Joseph (London Irish to Bath), Kahn Fotuali'i (Ospreys to Northampton), George Ford (Leicester to Bath), Jimmy Gopperth (Newcastle to Leinster), Tavis Knoyle (Scarlets to Gloucester), Andy Goode (Worcester to Wasps), Paul Sackey (Stade Français to Harlequins).
Farewell to...
Jamie Roberts (Cardiff Blues to Racing Métro), Dan Lydiate (Newport Gwent Dragons to Racing Métro), Jim Hamilton (Gloucester to Montpellier), Jonny Sexton (Leinster to Racing Metro), Soane Tonga'uiha and Brian Mujati (both Northampton to Racing Métro)
Premiership broadcasters
BT's takeover from Sky brings us Wednesday's 'Rugby Tonight' and match coverage including a kicking-tee camera and half-time interviews.
TV match official
Will cover every Premiership match instead of just the live TV ones. Still the onus in many incidents remains on the referee to decide whether to trust his judgement or 'go upstairs'.
Crouch, bind, set
The on-trial change in scrum engagement has players and coaches moaning they haven't had time to adjust. Just put the ball in straight and push nicely.
An uncertain future
The bickering over the Heineken Cup means clubs are unsure what European competitions, if any, they are qualifying for in 2014-15.
My predictions
Premiership top four: Leicester, Saracens, Harlequins, Northampton; bottom four: Sale, London Irish, Worcester, Newcastle. Pro 12 top four: Leinster, Ulster, Glasgow, Munster; bottom four: Edinburgh, Treviso, Connacht, Zebre.

2016 Confirmation of Entries
Competition Entries
After registering your beers during the July 6 – July 15 beer registration window, you will have a chance to review and confirm your entries online, immediately at the end of the beer registration process. Please review the confirmation page very closely to ensure that all of the information is correct. Spelling and capitalization counts! Once you sign off, this information is used for the competition details, festival program and festival banner.
If any information is incorrect, follow the on-screen directions to make changes.
The deadline to make any beer changes is August 5. No beer changes will be accepted after this deadline will be accepted after this deadline, nor any refunds or credits issued.
Confirmation of Festival Beer Information (for applicable breweries)
A similar confirmation page will be shown for those who complete the festival booth and beer registration process. Be sure to review this information as well ensure the most accurate information on all festival materials.
Shipping Your Competition Beers
Competition entries must be received between August 22 and 26. Any entries received at CR Goodman after August 26th will not be judged. No refunds or credits will be issued for missed deadlines (or beers dropped after the August 5 refund deadline).
The GABF is not responsible for any aspect of judging or beer handling for entries that arrive with unapproved brand changes.
Package your beers in a way to withstand rough handling during transit. The GABF is not responsible for broken shipments.We will contact breweries if broken bottles are received; however time may not allow replacement bottles to be shipped. Determine the type of packaging that will ensure your beers maintain the best quality possible. Some breweries include cold packs in their shipments.
Competition beers must be shipped separately from your festival beers, as festival beers will need to be sent to your preferred keg/case drop off point, and competition beers are due to Aurora, CO in August.
Quantities to send
Number of bottles/cans to be sent for the competition depends on the bottle/can size. Please send no less than the stated amount listed below, based on the bottle size you're sending.
Breweries sending less than the required amount for judging will not have their entries judged, nor will you be issued a credit/refund for your competition entries.
*Category-specific quantities: The following categories will require 2 more bottles than the quantities stated below (of any size) for judging:
- 12 – Coffee Beer
- 28 – Wood & Barrel Aged Strong Beer
- 58 – American Style Strong Pale Ale
- 59 – American-Style IPA
- 60 – Imperial IPA
|Container Size
|Amount to Ship*
|7 oz (200 ml) to (10.9 oz) 322 ml
|8 Bottles or Cans* (10 for cats. listed above)

|6 Bottles or Cans*(8 for cats. listed above)
|20 oz (589 ml) and higher
|4 Bottles or Cans*(6 for cats. listed above)
Labeling your beers
- Please create your own label (white labels are preferred for ease of reading information) and affix one label to each bottle you send using some sort of adhesive (adhesive labels, clear packing tape, glue, etc.). Do not rubber band or string loose pieces of plain paper to the bottles as these get lost and cause issues during sorting.
- You do not need to remove any commercial labels that are already on the bottle/can
- Please include the following information is included for judging.
- Brewery Name
- Beer Name
- GABF category number (and subcategory letter, if applicable) and name, if possible.
- Specialty information/serving instructions are not necessary on the label (we provide this to the judges separately)
- Make sure all information on labels matches your original registration exactly (i.e. do not alter the beer entry name, brewery name, category number or anything else without first notifying us and getting approval for the change)
- You may also request a digital version of your competition labels by emailing Chris Williams at firstname.lastname@example.com
- Label your bottles correctly. GABF is not responsible for bottles that are mislabeled and cannot guarantee that mislabeled bottles will be judged correctly or at all.
- Please affix label to bottles with adhesive (adhesive labels, clear packing tape, glue, etc.) as far up on the neck of the bottle as you are able.
Tips for packaging beers:
- Remember to put your 4-digit GABF BreweryID number on your box, as well as the "Package Number of Total" (i.e. 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3, etc.)
- Place all bottles standing upright in the shipping container. All bottles should be placed in the same direction (lids up) wrapped in bubble wrap. Use your standard 4 or 6-pack holder to help keep bottles secure.
- Fill the shipping container to the top with packaging materials. Packing peanuts are NOT recommended. If used, make sure peanuts are enclosed in a plastic bag.
- Wrap the original box in a plastic bag to avoid possible leakage and then place the box in a strong shipping box filled with more packing material.
- If more than one box of entries is being shipped, be sure to keep the samples of each brand in the same box. Do not ship bottles of the same brand in separate boxes.
- Beers sent in coolers or other special containers will not be returned, however the beers that arrive in specialized containers will be judged and tend to withstand the rigors of shipping.
- Please consider shipping extra bottles for our volunteer sorting crew that works hours in the cooler getting the competition beers sorted and inventoried for the competition.
Competition Entry Shipping Address
- C. R. Goodman Companies
- Attn: 2016 GABF
- 14402 East 33rd Place
- Aurora, CO 80011
- BreweryID# – Box * of *
- Some brewers have found that setting up a shipping courier to pick up the package from your place of business works better than taking it to a local shipping office. Please do not use the United States Postal Service (USPS). FedEx, UPS, and private couriers work well, and freight companies work best.
If you have any shipping issues, please contact Bradley Latham at 720-473-7672 or email@example.com.
All regulatory and financial burdens associated with submitting samples to the Great American Beer Festival are the sole responsibility of the entering brewery. C.O.D shipments will not be accepted.
Decided not to send a beer for the competition?
If you decide not ship one or more of your competition entries, PLEASE notify us. Entries not shipped are a common cause of handling errors for your other entries. The other entries are set aside while we search for your "missing" entry(ies).
Please see the refund policy if you decide not to ship any entered beers.
Volunteer Swag & Beer
Please consider sending extra beer or brewery swag to donate to the sorting volunteers who work many hours in the cooler sorting the beers into the competition's various categories.

Shipping Your Festival Beers & the MicroStar Keg Program
Please read this section very carefully and direct questions to Bradley Latham at 720-473-7672 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Download a No Charge Invoice
This is required and indicates that your GABF beer is donated. Prior to shipping, attach this to your festival beers.
Beer may only be received in the following ways:
- Kegs – You may send your own kegs for the festival or have the GABF ship kegs to you via MicroStar Keg Management. See below for full details on using MicroStar kegs for the festival.
If sending your own kegs, the GABF only accepts beer sent in stainless steel or single use plastic kegs. No exceptions. Kegs must be picked up from the Colorado Convention Center on Sunday before 12:00 pm (noon). The GABF is not responsible for any kegs left after this time.
- Bottles or Cans – Deliver a minimum of 10 cases of each brand in bottles or cans to your collection point for shipment to Denver. Your local distributor may also deliver your beer to the C.R. Goodman warehouse in Denver during the delivery window.
Shipping and Labeling your Festival Beers
*New for 2016!*
The Brewers Association will be supplying breweries participating in the GABF festival with Grogtags instead of keg collars this year. This change is to help our beer service team see brewery booth numbers and beer information more easily, especially when kegs are stacked in the reefer trucks.
- You will receive the Grogtags in the mail in late August.
- There will be one tag for every keg you indicated during registration.
- Please fill out the style field on each tag.
- Tags were not sent for case product. For case beer, you should tape the following label to each case you're are sending.
- IF A BEER HAS CHANGED FROM THE TAGS YOU RECEIVED – Cross out the old name and write the new name in the "style" field (no need to add "style" for the beer if you're making this change.
- The tags should be placed on the handle of your kegs. The tags are applied like luggage tags and fold over onto themselves. Here's an example:

Chapter 3.2Mature
Nova pulls tightly on the strings tied around her fingers, tightening around the prisoner, burning deeply into his flesh. The creature screams at the pain as Nova's eyes shine. "Do not worry. The demon is well contained with my moonlight strings and any attack he tries shall rebound back onto him. You are all safe." Nova's voice is blunt as she spreads her fingers, slightly releasing the demon enough so he can speak.
"I am a demon of the darkness. We have built our forces and we are ready to attack." Rius resists the urge to throw one of her throwing knifes through the creatures head. His skin has turned black with what something that resembles scales across his body. His teeth, a decaying yellow. "With the power of a God on our side, the world will be set alight and all of you mortals shall be ripped apart!" The demon laughs hysterically as everyone narrows their eyes at him.
Nova narrows her eyes, making moonlight strings slash across the demons face. She turns and walks out of the room, knowing that her warriors, Ren and the Captain will follow her. When passing the Gemini warrior twins, Nova turns her head to them and nods, causing big smiles to spread across their faces.
As soon as Rius closes the door, the twins stand either side of the demon with wicked smiles on their faces. "Are you stuck?" Ni asks with wide eyes. "Oh, I believe that he is." The demon growls at them, causing them to laugh. "Ah, is the little demon getting annoyed?" The twins start poking his face. "I think he is."
Nova walks away from the dungeon as the others follow her lead. "What was he talking about in there?" Ren asks, walking at the same pace as Nova, annoyed at all of the unanswered questions running through his brain. Leonardo scoffs behind him. "Don't be thick Lockwood, Nova will tell you whatever she wants when she wants."
The Captain puts a hand on his shoulder but is quickly shrugged off. "Don't talk to the Prince that way." They quickly walk into the garden, Nova stands upon the wall surrounding the fountain. "There are things you need to know." Nova casts her eyes over the four in front of her, her warriors walking towards her, slightly glaring at each other as they walk into one another before sitting on the wall either side of the one they have sworn to protect. Isorropia rolls her eyes, sighing as she sits at Nova's feet.
Meanwhile, Rexrus leans with his arms against the wall surrounding the roof of the castle, his eyes watching the darkness below. He scowls deeply, knowing that whatever was causing the dark energy has been contained. "Can you see them?" Ophi jumps up, sitting herself on the wall, immediately swinging her legs. "Of course." Rexrus mutters. The little girl giggles, looking up at her elder warrior. "Not you silly, I was talking to Tody." The snake spits out his tail as he bobs his head in agreement before nibbling his tail again. "Can you see Sister Sting?" Rexrus narrows his eyes as the silence stretches. "Brother Rexrus, I am asking you now." The child warrior laughs causing Rexrus to sigh. "No, I can't see her. Never can."
Sting follows the boundaries surrounding the Lunar Village, silently leaping from one tree to another, eyes alert. She can feel the tension in the air as she swiftly moves across the barrier perimeter, stretching out her awareness. The darkness quivers slightly, making Sting narrow her eyes and freezing, waiting to see what will happen next.
Across the Lunar Village, the other Zodiac warriors stand their ground as they watch the darkness. Seira laughs to herself as she merrily skips around her group of NightShadow men, watching her with amused faces. "Something's out here, be careful men." Ricorn says, crossing his arms as he thoughtfully stares out into the darkness. A hiss whistles through the wind, sending shivers down the spines of the mortal knights as Sces slowly runs her thin tongue across her sharp teeth. The cries of BloodFoxes fill the air, making Vi shiver tightly under her cardigan. Tarius stands next to a fallen oak tree which has been there for years, his men on watch. The waters thrash wildly, the creatures within the oceans becoming agitated making Cercan harshly narrow his eyes. "What is out there?" One of the knights asks after hearing the calls of the darkness' creatures.
Bright red eyes appear all across the barriers. Their bloodthirsty eyes seem to be taunting the warriors, daring them to step over the barrier which keeps them out. The demons in the darkness move about, creating the sounds of what nightmares are made of. Instead of shaking in fear as one would expect of mortals, the NightShadow knights hold their ground, readying their weapons in case of attack.
Ever since the Sun God disappeared, it seems as though more and more creatures of evil roam the earth, and it is not uncommon for the knights to encounter one or two on their patrols. Sces hisses through her sharpened teeth, her posture crouched and ready to attack when they make the first move.
"You will not die today. We are just here to watch and report back to our Master." One of the creatures laugh bitterly. Sting throws a dart at the feet of the demon who talked, causing the dry ground to burst into brilliant blue flames. "You can tell your Goddess that her brother says hello." Laughing, the demons disappear further into the darkness.

Perl uses a multimeter to report power consumption
Today's digital multimeters can do more than measure current and voltage. Multimeters also measure capacity and temperature. An inexpensive multimeter can talk to your PC via the serial port, and simple Perl scripts let you read and visualize data in neat charts.
I was browsing a mail order catalog for electronics the other day when I noticed a couple of low-budget, digital multimeters with RS 232 interface. I discovered the MAS-345 model by Mastech on eBay for US$ 35 and quickly pressed the "buy-it-now" button.
When the device arrived, it came with just a Windows CD. After a quick search on the web, I discovered the Marsh project, which uses a bit of C code to address the Mastech MAS-345 among other multimeters.

Big Dreams
A little girl sees bad that needs to go,
But wonders how she, so small, can make change,
She sees a new world that is seeped in woe,
What can she do in this world that's so strange?
She wants to do something big, she won't wait,
She's small but her heart and ideas are big,
She wants to eliminate waste and hate,
Her promise to help she will not renege.
She holds high the values of love and care,
But doesn't have the training or the skill,
To make the world a better place to share,
But what she lacks, she makes up for in will.
Take her and train her, teach her, for you see,
That little girl with the big dreams is me.

Howard Murphet
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2007) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Howard Murphet (November 4, 1906 – September 28, 2004) was an author and devotee of Sathya Sai Baba.
Howard Murphet was born in Tasmania and educated at the University of Hobart. During the Second World War he served with the Eighth Army at El Alamein and Tunis, took part in the invasion of Sicily and Italy and, later, with the British Second Army, in the invasion of Normandy. He was also in charge of the British Press Section at the Nuremberg Trials. After a period as a Public Relations Officer in the chemical industry, Murphet and his wife travelled to India to visit the international headquarters of the Theosophical Society in Adyar, Madras and also wanted to discover if there was any deeper spiritual dimension in the life of modern India.
They heard about Sai Baba from a wandering yogi. Howard Murphet met Sai Baba in 1966. During those days, it was a very difficult journey to the village of Puttaparthi; he had to travel by bus from Madras to Bangalore, followed by journey through roads of broken rocks ending with a ride on bullock-cart, or on foot across slushy fields of paddy.
One of the first people he met at the ashram was Narayana Kasturi. During the next few days, he was invited to several group interviews.
A dozen people gather in one of the interview rooms at either end of the bhajan hall, or "prayer hall" as it is sometimes called. Sai Baba sits either on the one chair, or else on the floor - and the people sit cross-legged on the floor, fanning out in a rough circle about him. These group interviews usually begin with some talk on spiritual subjects. Baba invites someone to ask a question; then in the answer he expounds on such matters as the meaning and purpose of life, Man's true nature, and the way he should strive to live in order to reach the goal. The teachings are always clear, vivid, and intensely practical.
During his visits to Prashanthi Nilayam (Sathya Sai Baba's Ashram) he also visited the village of Sathya Sai Baba's birth (Puttaparthi) and talked to members of his family living there. Howard Murphet describes the village as lying about a quarter of a mile from the ashram, "a small, sun-bleached place of whitewashed houses and narrow, sandy streets".
He gives accounts of many miracles that he said that he witnessed of Sai Baba and also narrates a number of miracles experienced by other devotees of Sai Baba.[1]

A brave mum who died saving her daughters from being mown down was buried today – in a leopard-print coffin.
Karina Menzies, 31, was killed in a series of alleged hit-and-runs which left 13 other people hurt.
At her funeral today, Karina's brother Craig said: "She's being buried in a leopard-print coffin.
"That was her style and she would have loved knowing we kept it going for her final goodbye."
Her three girls joined around 500 mourners at the service in Cardiff.
Sophie, 11, Ellie, 8, and Tiana, 2, watched as pall-bearers carried the coffin.
Tiana was in a wheelchair after she was hurt in the incident. The Rev Jan Gould read out moving tributes from the girls.
Sophie, who was away on holiday when the tragedy happened, wrote: "You were an amazing mum, fun, cool and very unnormal.
"You're my hero – it was really brave to save my beautiful sisters' lives."
Ellie wrote: "Have a nice time being an angel.
"Always visit me and be by my side. I will always love you. Sweet dreams."
Rev Gould said: "Her children were everything, she would do anything for them and she paid the ultimate price to save them."
Karina's sister Sam, 29, pledged that the family would raise the girls in the way she would have wanted.
Matthew Tvrdon, 31, is held in custody charged with murdering Karina last month.

Samurai (Dungeons & Dragons)
The samurai is a playable character class in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.

Publication history[edit]
Dungeons & Dragons (1974-1977)[edit]
The samurai appeared as a sub-class of the fighter in Dragon #3 (October 1976).[1]
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition (1977-1988)[edit]
The samurai was introduced in the original first edition Oriental Adventures book.[2]
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition (1989-1999)[edit]
The samurai appeared in The Complete Fighter's Handbook as a character kit.[3]
Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition (2000-2007)[edit]
A version of the samurai appeared in the 3rd edition Oriental Adventures book; this was subsequently revised in an article in issue 318 of Dragon Magazine to be in keeping with the 3.5 update.
A second class by the same name appeared in Complete Warrior.[4] There have also been numerous samurai related prestige classes in various books as well.
The samurai is supposed to represent the stereotypical "loyal retainer" who appears in Japanese fiction and movies. Currently, they are a brave and noble warrior trained in the use of the Daisho who can intimidate foes with fearsome shouts, and fight with two blades.
No currently published race has Samurai as a favored class, although the supplemental rules presented in Oriental Adventures has the class favored by the dwarves.
Oriental Adventures Samurai[edit]
Partly based in portrayals of samurai in fantasy and history, this class is also designed to fit the image of samurai as presented in Rokugan: nobles both male and female who are trained in a particular martial tradition, deeply rooted in the social and cultural structure of their homeland. Like fighters, the samurai is a martial class which receives bonus feats as they advance in level. Unlike fighters, these must be drawn from a list of feats appropriate to the character's clan, reflecting the specific traditions of each. Samurai not belonging to any of these clans are still required to choose from a single list, whether the character is simply imitating that style, or belongs to a tradition which is mechanically similar.
Mechanically the class is similar to both the fighter and paladin base classes. In 3.0 and the subsequent 3.5 update, it received bonus feats (though at a slower rate than the fighter) as well as having an alignment that must remain lawful, similar to the paladin or monk. It receives more skill points than either class, however, allowing a samurai to have some ranks in the diplomatic and artistic abilities that the romantic image of a samurai would justify. The inclusion of skills in the Oriental Adventures book like Iaijtusu Focus grant the class the necessary mechanics to perform duels between two samurai.
Ancestral Daisho[edit]
Perhaps the most notable aspect of the samurai class, this is a paired masterwork set of a katana and wakizashi (or similar weapons from other cultures) which are inherited from the character's ancestors. As the samurai advances in level, they may visit a shrine or temple to make sacrifices which draw out the latent powers of either blade, granting it bonuses and powers as a magical weapon. Note that the daisho remain ordinary masterwork weapons until thusly empowered, after which they are considered magic weapons for the purposes of spells and effects. Although not using their daisho causes no penalty to a samurai, the loss of either or both is considered dishonorable.
Complete Warrior Samurai[edit]
Built intentionally as a separate concept, the samurai that is presented in Complete Warrior is a marked change from the earlier base class presented in Oriental Adventures. Where the samurai in Oriental Adventures is a generic, generally customizable class with only one class ability and many bonus feats, the samurai from the Complete Warrior is described by author Dave Noonan as a "different take than the one presented in Oriental Adventures. This one has a squinty-eyed gunslinger feel about him"[2].
The Complete Warrior samurai is different from the older Oriental Adventures class due to its almost complete reliance on the two weapon fighting style. Over the course of the class progression the samurai gains the ability to wield both katana and wakizashi at once. Numerous other class abilities, most often in the form of specific bonus feats, are also conferred upon the character. An example of an ability that simply does not duplicate a feat is an ability that acts almost identically to the Smite Evil class ability of the Paladin. It relies heavily on the ability score of charisma to fuel some of the more specialized class features.
Furthermore, the grievous loss of honor or a change in the lawful alignment of the samurai character results in the complete loss of all class abilities that rely on a roll based on charisma. These class abilities cannot be used again until the samurai finds proper atonement. They also suffer the same multiclass penalty as the paladin and are unable to return to their class when they deviate from it.
Complete Warrior took a unique take on the status of ronin, one that the Oriental Adventures book does not. While the Oriental Adventures book looks at ronins as purely a social station that has no mechanical considerations, samurais who loses their station using the Complete Warrior rules are eligible to take levels in the ronin prestige class. This prestige class emphasises the infamy of the masterless samurai and allows them to regain some of their lost class abilities due to the loss of their class.
An attempt is made to give the class a bit of historical flavor, as their primary combat ability mimics the style of Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu whereby the samurai wields both a katana and wakizashi at once. However, unlike the traditional style, the Complete Warrior samurai's class feature does not emphasise the use of the wakizashi as a defensive measure. It also doesn't provide for the application of the more historically common style of fighting, wherein a katana is used two-handedly, primarily when out of doors, and the wakizashi is used by itself primarily indoors— particularly in situations where as a matter of courtesy and security, the katana has been left at the door.
Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition (2008-)[edit]
In Dragon #404 (October 2011), the samurai has been added as a character theme.[5]

A NOTORIOUS football yob was yesterday jailed for 22 months and banned from all grounds for eight years.
Andy "Nightmare" Frain, 47 – exposed by the BBC as a "general" of the Chelsea Headhunters hooligans – was locked up for his role in a mass brawl last year.
Fans yelled "w*****" at judge Martin Edmunds as he sentenced Frain and six other Chelsea supporters.
All were involved in a drink and drug-fuelled riot outside their Stamford Bridge ground in February, 2010.
A Met policeman's jaw was smashed during the fight in which CCTV footage showed Frain waving thugs towards rival Cardiff City fans.
Frain, of Chelmsford, Essex, had admitted violent disorder at Isleworth crown court.
So far, 64 supporters from both sides in the fifth round FA cup violence have been banned from grounds.
Judge Edmunds said Frain, who has 37 convictions, had a "dreadful record".

Obviously, you bought your Trans Sport because you knew that you wanted horsepower and great value both rolled up into one automobile. Your Pontiac dealership isn't the only place to locate the best repair parts to fix your Trans Sport. When your Pontiac Trans Sport left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants an American name in their automobile. Car aficionados appreciate the good looks built into each Pontiac, and understand that only top quality replacement Trans Sport parts will suffice when repairs are needed.
Your car or truck has a water-cooled motor, and the device that controls the flow of coolant so that the engine can remain cool is your thermostat. On start-up, the thermostat remains closed; bypassing the flow of coolant through your radiator. This cycles the coolant through the engine block and gets it hot. Once it reaches the right temperature, your Pontiac Trans Sport thermostat then opens up and allows the coolant into the radiator. Now your coolant is part of a constant cycle in your Pontiac Trans Sport engine that keeps it within a specific range of temperatures that are determined for the engine to achieve the best balance between power, fuel efficiency, and emissions... all thanks to the thermostat.
Ordering new Pontiac parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Trans Sport parts on the internet. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs.

Mumbai: Actress Manisha Koirala, who is suspected to be diagnosed with cancer, has secretly rushed to the US for treatment. Our lens-man spotted the actress at Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport early this morning. She looked tired and nervous but confident. Manisha's family will stand by to support her in this phase of life. If sources are to be believed, the actress is likely to stay back in US for about four to five months for the treatment.
On November 28, she was admitted in Mumbai suburban hospital after she reportedly fell unconscious.
The 42-year-old actress hails from an influential family in Nepal and she first made her debut in the movies with 'Saudagar' in 1991 and her last movie was 'Bhoot returns' directed by Ram Gopal Varma.
We wish the actress a speedy recovery!
