wrong. the story should read several famous black musicians hail from ohio. how is it blacks get the special moniker "african american?" no, they're black, and i'm white. unless you want to be politically correct and start calling me european-american,
#3 Feb 19, 2010
I'm so proud of the achecivement of are black people . But let's us be honest about it all because they really don't care where they come from because you never here about any of them doing a free concert for their City. You never even hear them mention their State or City where they come From And yes I'm black very black. And I can't stand how they treat their so-called City where they say they come from either. And yes this don't exclude the white singers . It all about them and nobody else including there Family trust on this just do your research on this Fact. Ps from RAW n Col , oh

Who cares? Did you forget to mention the white musicians that hail from Ohio?
#5 Feb 19, 2010
A few comments-
You missed a lot of important musicians- Sweets Edison, Roland Kirk, Don Patterson, Wes Montgomery- real artists who got their start in Columbus that most people have never heard of.
Nancy Wilson actually did a concert in and for the people of Columbus in 1971. I know, because I played guitar on it.
Probably the most important point is that they're all FROM Columbus- they obviously had the smarts to figure out that if they were ever going to make it, they had to get out of Columbus. I know this for a fact. I grew up there playing music, and left in order to actually have a successful career in music in the real world.

I really enjoyed this media coverage. White, black, variety of all,... most Ohioans would appreciate to know who's had roots or started back in our ol' State. Color, race, religion or region doesn't matter to me. Or likely to anyone I know. I appreciate your coverage on this. I hope you also have show-pieces of other nationalities as well. If only to educate and promote our own beautiful State of Ohio. Yes, even celebrities spawn from our great State.(smiles)
Great Story!
Love it!
Keep em' Coming!

I went to high school with Nancy Wilson's nieces. They were very good singers also. I have lost track of them over the years and don't know if they took it to a professional level. They use to win our talent shows.

Why they have to be called african americans? I dont call myself European American. Reverse racism
#13 Feb 20, 2010
How can you be African and American from Ohio?
#14 Feb 20, 2010
Joe was from Lima, Ohio
#15 Feb 20, 2010
Only blacks, whites and All Americans in Ohio.
African American is just a code for someone that hates white people and America.
#17 Feb 20, 2010
How about the Mills Brothers back in the 40s. They were very big.
#18 Feb 20, 2010
They were born in Bellefontaine and went somewhere else to get their start and their smooth quartet took off.
#19 Feb 20, 2010
The Great Jazz Pianist Booby Few, Lives is Paris, France is from Ohio
#20 Feb 20, 2010
What a nice story, to bad they did not have enough time to include more African American, Black, or negro (as stated in the 50's and 60's) artist. The music made a great impact to all America. How can some of you be so mean and negative, I'm sure there is a song title for your mean spirit.....Who let the dogs out!
#21 Feb 20, 2010
February is a time set aside to share Black History with all. Thank you Jerry for sharing. It is a crying shame that some of you don't even want blacks to have a minute of history, let alone a month, especially since we have a Black man in the White House. Get off it! You celebrate everyday, every time we are overlooked because of the color of our skin. You celebrate daily, get over it, most of the things you use today were invented by Blacks! Next time you turn on a light in your house think about it!

|Scooby-Doo meets ScratchU8
Episode Info Edit
Scooby-Doo meets ScratchU8 is the fifth episode of the second season in Scooby-Doo's Ghost Gallery.
The gang discovers ScratchU8 in an abandon theatre. He loves it, but without Mr. Man Guy helping, it will get torn down! The gang and ScratchU8 must find the kidnapper; and Mr. Man Guy!
It's a dark and stormy night! Lightning flashes. The Mystery Machine is driving along the streets of a busy city.
"Like, face it, I'm spooked!" Shaggy says.
"Reah, spooked!" agrees Scooby.
"We're not even solving a mystery," Fred says.
"Who knows if we run into one," Velma says.
"There's our hotel," Daphne says, pointing to a hotel.
The gang gets out of the car and walks into the hotel.
They walk up to a man.
"Is there any rooms left?" Daphne asks.
"No, the last one was taken by ScratchU8, but he's somewhere that isn't in the hotel," the man says.
"ScratchU8!" cries Scooby. He starts jumping up and down. His eyes turn to hearts and he starts clapping.
"Like, the famous ScratchU8?" Shaggy asks.
"The one and only," says the man. "Too bad I don't know where he's gone off to."
"Well, thanks sir," Fred says.
The gang goes outside and hops back into the van.
"Well how do you like that?" Daphne asks, "The last room taken by ScratchU8!"
"ScratchU8!" cries Scooby. He starts jumping up and down. His eyes turn to hearts and he starts clapping. He stops.
"Like, if you mention the name ScratchU8, Scooby will get like that," Shaggy says.
"ScratchU8!" cries Scooby. He starts jumping up and down. His eyes turn to hearts and he starts clapping.
"Like, I shouldn't have said that name," Shaggy says.
Scooby stops. "What name?" asks Scooby.
"Like, the name," Shaggy says.
From an abandon theatre, ScratchU8 watches the road.
Soon, the van stops in front of an abandon theatre.
"Maybe we can stay here for the night," Fred says.
From a high-up balcony, a figure with black boots, black jeans, a black coat, and a black hood over his face watches. He has glowing purple eyes. The figure laughs evilly and vanishes.
"Like, I'll sleep under these chairs," Shaggy says. He makes himself a bed under some chairs. Scooby does the same.
"Well one thing is for sure, I'm not sleeping on the floor!" Daphne says. She sits on a chair. Velma and Fred do the same.
"Trespassers," says a bellowing voice.
The gang turns around. The hooded figure is there. "Yer trespassin'!"
The hooded figure vanishes.
"That's the Hooded Kidnapper!" a voice says. "He took Mr. Man Guy!"
"Mr. Man Guy!" cries Scooby. He starts jumping up and down. His eyes turn to hearts and he starts clapping.
The gang stands up. ScratchU8 is standing in the theatre.
"Like, you got to be kidding me," Shaggy says. "It's ScratchU8!"
"ScratchU8!" cries Scooby. He starts jumping up and down. His eyes turn to hearts and he starts clapping.
It cuts to the gang and ScratchU8 in a small room.
"The Hooded Kidnapper took Mr. Man Guy! Without him, this awesome theatre will be torn down!" ScratchU8 explains. "Did I mention the Hooded Kidnapper can walk on the ceiling?"
"That's terrible!" Daphne says.
"I know, right?" ScratchU8 says.
"The Hooded Kidnapper will kidnap no more," Fred says. "Let's split up!"
Soon, Scooby and Shaggy are searching for clues.
"Like, it's no use Scoob," Shaggy says.
"Reah," Scooby sighs.
"We might as well get a burger," Shaggy says.
Meanwhile, Fred and Daphne are searching for clues.
"Freddie, what happened to Velma?" asks Daphne.
"I don't know," Fred says. "Didn't she go with ScratchU8?"
"No," Daphne says.
"I'm right here," Velma's voice says.
Fred and Daphne look around. "Where?" asks Fred. He looks up, Velma is there.
"The ceiling is metal that is made to look like wood; these boots I'm wearing are very powerful magnets. This explains how the Hooded Kidnapper could walk up here," Velma says.
"Give me those boots!" a voice yells. The Hooded Kidnapper runs in, grabs Velma, and vanishes.
Meanwhile, ScratchU8 is searching for clues.
"Nah, I'll find nothing," he says. "Maybe I'll go get a burger."
Soon, Scooby, Shaggy, and ScratchU8 are eating burgers.
"I hope Mr. Man Guy comes back," ScratchU8 says.
Suddenly, the Hooded Kidnapper appears.
"Fear me!" cries the kidnapper.
He starts chasing the three.
"Run!" cries ScratchU8.
"Rikes!" cries Scooby.
"Zoinks!" cries Shaggy.
Soon, the entire gang and ScratchU8 finds themselves locked up in the basement.
The Hooded Kidnapper is in front of them.
He vanishes.
"Where's Mr. Man Guy?" ScratchU8 asks.
"Gone," Shaggy says, pointing to a bottomless pit. There's a sign above it reading Victim Disposal Pit.
"We must avenge him!" cries ScratchU8. He breaks the cell open.
The gang and ScratchU8 run as fast as they can.
They soon arrive outside.
"Like, let's get a pizza and come back," Shaggy says.
"That's not a bad idea," Fred says.
Soon, the gang is eating pizza outside.
"I'll open the door so our pizza doesn't get wet," ScratchU8 says.
He tugs on the door.
"We've been locked out!"
Soon, the gang and ScratchU8 are back in ScratchU8's hotel room.
"Look, an open window to the theatre is out the window!" ScratchU8 says.
A man walks in. "They've decided not to tear down the theatre!" he says. He walks out.
ScratchU8 and the gang jump out the window.
They come crashing in the theatre. The Hooded Kidnapper is there.
"The theatre won't be torn down, what a shame," he says. I'll change that!"
The Hooded Kidnapper holds out his hand and a torch appears. "This theatre burns!" he says as he sets fire to the building.
Suddenly, the fire goes out. The Hooded Kidnapper lights it again, to find it goes out.
"It's raining you idiot," ScratchU8 says.
"Very well," the Hooded Kidnapper says. "Then the rain can help me." He jams the torch into the wall and rain starts pouring inside. "This theatre will flood!" he laughs. The Kidnapper vanishes.
The water is now up to the gang's shirt.
"To the balcony!" cries Fred. He and the others start climbing the walls with the boots used by the Hooded Kidnapper! They jump to the nearest balcony. ScratchU8 takes off his boots.
"Get to safety!" he yells. He dives into the water. The gang gets to the top. The water is up to their necks. Suddenly, instead of rising, the water lowers. Shaggy sees the hole is gone!
The water drains. ScratchU8 is at the bottom, he made a drain!
"The theatre is fixed!" Velma says. The Hooded Kidnapper appears. Fred lassos him.
ScratchU8 pulls his hood down. "It's Mr. Man Guy!"
"Yes, I wanted the theatre torn down," he says. The police come and as Mr. Man Guy is being taken away he yells "and I would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!"
The next day, the theatre is there. The gang and ScratchU8 are outside.
"Goodbye!" yells ScratchU8 as the van drives off.
"Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" cheers Scooby.

McNutt, however, isn't relying on past accomplishments to get him to the next level. The wide receiver has been training since the beginning of the year at the Athletes' Performance Institute in Phoenix, Arizona in preparation for the NFL Combine and his Pro Day.
With all his effort, what would it mean to McNutt to hear his name on Draft Day? "It would be a blessing, something you'd always dream of, to play at the pro level and to have one of your dreams fulfilled," he said.
FOX Sports NEXT was able to catch up with McNutt at the Phoenix facility and go in-depth on his training, his time with the Hawkeyes, and more:

In its second week, AMC's period Western Hell On Wheels drew 3.8 million total viewers, 1.8 million in adults 18-49 and 25-54. That was down 14% in total viewers, 25% in 18-49 and 21% in 25-54 from the series' solid premiere. Meanwhile, another freshman, Showtime's Homeland, continues its steady growth. The conspiracy thriller averaged 1.42 million viewers at 10 PM, up 7% from the previous Sunday, and 1.68 million for the night to post its fifth consecutive week of ratings increases. At Lifetime, Project Runway spinoff Project Accessory has averaged 1.1 million viewers in its first 3 weeks, tracking 214% higher than the mothership series did in its first season on Bravo.
Cable Ratings: 'Hell On Wheels' Slides In Week 2, 'Homeland' Continues To Grow
26 Comments
After that pilot, there was no need to go back to HELL ON WHEELS.
They shoulda retitled it PHONED IN.
Really? No. You can criticize the script if you want, but the production design and performances were unarguably compelling. Hardly "Phoned in."
Oh but I'm just a fan, so what do I know, right?…
Acting was fine, aside from the boring lead.
Production design was too much. It's like watching a hipstimatic print in action. The subject matter does not call for such an extreme look.
I found Hell on Wheels to be entertaining and interesting.
I am looking forward to new episodes.
Homeland, on the other hand, is corny and contrived.
Further, I found no primary characters I "liked" (well, the lead's boss seemed OK), but I only watched a couple of episodes.
Minor Spoiler Alert.
The female lead character is scum.
On viewing the scene in which she lies to her "asset", telling her that a quick-response team is protecting her, I stopped watching the series.
I was already on the fence, and the revelation of a despicable lead character was more than enough for me to lose my remaining waning interest.
Best show on TV.
I actually stood to watch the final 20 minutes of Homeland Sunday night. I was so absolutely thrilled the show had the courage to put the narrative foot to the pedal and do the exact opposite of just about every other TV drama, ever.
Kudos – sincerely, thanks!
Really enjoying Hell on Wheels. The second ep was a lot stronger then the first ep.
Homeland is hands down the best show this season. Every episode is a winner but I don't know how they will top last Sunday's show.
Why hasn't the site reported The Walking Dead's rating since the premiere? I find that quite odd. After it's record breaking debut you would think they would track how it's holding.
Homeland is a great show. Claire Danes is rocking it.
Homeland is by far the best new show on TV. Claire Danes and Damian Lewis are excellent!
Hell on Wheels. Why were the Native american indians speaking English? Anson Mount as the lead looks fantastic. Not sold on his acting yet.
That's because Homeland is the best show currently on television. Imagine if Gansa and Gordon put that much effort into the later seasons of 24? Seriously if this show doesn't sweep Emmy noms (I'm talking Claire Danes, Damian Lewis, Mandy Patinkin, writing, directing, and best drama), then there's something sincerely wrong with the Academy (well, above what we already know is wrong with them).
As for Hell on Wheels, I watched half the pilot late at night, was decent, mostly thanks to Colm Meany being awesome, but I couldn't be bothered to finish it later in the week. Dunno, just seems like they took all the common denominators to make a western, nothing really special about it.
Are you kidding ? Only Claire Danes deserve a nom and only because the concurrence in that category is really weak.
Neither Lewis and Patinkin do something Award worthy.
Best drama ? There are Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire who have better shots. Maybe it gets the 5-6th spot but Dexter probably gets a bonus. Battle with Justified I guess.
Writing ? Pretty weak in comparison to other shows
Directing ? Good but not great, depends on other shows
I have really enjoyed the first two episodes of Hell On Wheels, and Claire Danes better win the Best Actress Emmy for Homeland.
The 'ask me anything' scene from Homeland went deeper than anything I've seen in a spy drama
Happy to see Homeland doing well. As for Hell on Wheels, most new shows drop in the 2nd episode and there is no point in making a big deal out of it yet.
Homeland is awesome. The end.
Agree about Homeland. The last ten minutes of Sunday's ep was an emmy showreel for both actors!
No info on Walking Dead's numbers? Interesting…
Down 8%
Still over 6 million watching a week.
Yeah, it looks great…
But if I want eye candy I'll just look at a piece of art or a centerfold.
Unfortunately, they'll never make it out of Nebraska…
Please don't let "Hell On Wheels"…simply a terrible show with bad writing, hurt the overall Western genre..This isn't a Western…this is crap. .There's an audience out there just waiting for an epic Western with great characters…with action,murder,intrique. Give us another "Broken Trails' and we'll forguive you for this
They're just trying to find something that could be as good as Deadwood. Hell on Wheels is not it.
I love Hell on Wheels. Episode 2 was even better than the pilot. Strong performances throughout, great cinematography and a compelling plot. This show has me hooked.
Put me in the "Like the show" catagory. Missed the first few episodes, so the "Hell on Wheels Marathon" was a welcome viewing to catch me up on some of the backstory. I don't get Showtime, so I've not seen this "Homeland" ya'll are talking about.

Dancing in the Australian Ballet's inaugural performance, corps member Colin Peasley complained of the "smell of decades" and 12 names sewn into his costume's jacket. It was 1962, and the ballet was Swan Lake, produced on a budget so tight that artistic director Peggy van Praagh used hand-me-down costumes from the defunct Borovansky Ballet.
In 2012, the Australian Ballet's incarnation of the Tchaikovsky classic to celebrate the company's 50th birthday will revisit that performance, minus the recycled garments. "The brief was to go back to the original Swan Lake and treat that," costume and set designer Hugh Colman says. "And one of the things I felt strongly about was the music, which is late 19th century, and very much dictates the mood of the piece."
This means the corsets and heavy underpinning that a lot of 19th century costumes had has been recreated in lighter fabrics for the dancers' sake. "[The late 19th century] was one of those transition periods where the silhouette is very sympathetic to dance," Colman says. "We do bone bodices in ballet but it's not quite the same as lacing somebody into a corset. And of course the dancers all have perfect figures so you don't have to work too hard."
Since 1962 the company's approach to Swan Lake costumes has varied, along with the choreography and budget. Its 1977 production was by artistic director Anne Woolliams. The designs by Tom Lingwood were highly detailed and according to the Arts Centre Melbourne, costs exceeded all previous productions by the company.
"In the very early years of the Australian Ballet they were very influenced by English and Russian traditions," Colman says. "Particularly with the classic ballets like Swan Lake. There was a perceived way that things were done and I think that would certainly have influenced the design. Then over the years when people started to have a stronger feel for the individual approach that a company can have . . . designers and choreographers are now a little bolder."
The Australian Ballet's most talked about production of Swan Lake was
The production's hero image – Odette in a loving embrace with Siegfried, her huge satin wedding dress trailing high in the air – was a carefully choreographed moment that wowed audiences.
The Australian Ballet's principal artist Amber Scott, who played the spellbound princess Odette in Murphy's production, jokes the choreography for that moment was for three: herself, her partner and the dress. "Often the dress wanted to do a solo," she says.
In the latest Swan Lake, choreographed by Stephen Baynes, dancers will wear boned bodices, structured tutus for the "swan maidens" and soft chiffon dresses for the women of the court who waltz. Scott returns as Odette in this production, as well as playing evil genius Von Rothbart's daughter Odile. She prefers performing in a classical tutu to anything else. "It holds you in a straight form . . . There's a mental association between the costume and pulling up through the torso," she says. "Costumes are a huge part of getting into character. Even things like how you do your hair and make-up for each role, that's part of the ritual."
Designing for ballet productions is a time-consuming process: Colman says a basic tutu without any decoration takes a minimum of 40 hours to construct.
"About 10 metres of net goes into them," he says.
While his approach to this Swan Lake is traditional, Colman says he "tried to work from a very clean mind space on this".

Peptoids that are helical and partially water soluble have been shown to self-assemble into microspheres when the peptoid solution is dried on a silicon substrate. Such microsphere coatings have great potential for use in biosensor technologies, specifically to increase the surface area for binding. However, in order to be useful, the peptoids must consistently form uniform coatings. In this study we investigated the effects of various coating protocol parameters on the uniformity of the resulting peptoid microsphere coatings, including (i) solvent, (ii) administration technique, and (iii) drying environment. In addition, we investigated the robustness of the coatings as well as the potential for using a glass substrate. These studies show that uniform, robust peptoid microsphere coatings can be formed using protic solvents, a full coverage administration technique, and drying in open air on silicon or glass substrates.
The pursuit of an efficient, non-invasive, and economical tool for the early detection of complex diseases, such as cancer, has led to the development of sophisticated biosensor technologies for protein analysis. As biosensors become more complex, coatings become increasingly important. There are numerous concerns with existing coatings including low stability, non-specific binding, and potential for increased sensitivity. A coating is needed that has the following characteristics: (i) high surface area for binding, (ii) resistance to biofouling, and (iii) flexible synthesis that allows for incorporation of a variety of chemistries. Such a coating is possible using self-assembled poly-N-substituted glycine (or peptoid) microspheres.
Peptoids are biomimetic polymers with a backbone similar to that in proteins. In peptoids, the side chains are appended to the amide groups rather than the α-carbons [
Recently, carefully designed peptoids have been shown to self-assemble into various supramolecular assembly structures including superhelices [
In this paper we investigate the effect of coating protocol on the uniformity of peptoid microsphere coatings. Specifically, solvent type, administration technique, and drying environment were investigated and changes in coating uniformity were monitored. We found that protic solvents, drying at standard conditions, and full coating of the slide reproducibly resulted in uniform coatings. Utilizing these protocols, the peptoid microsphere coatings are robust and can be created on glass and silicon substrates.
Peptoids were synthesized via the submonomer addition method [
The dried peptoids were dissolved in a solution of 4:1 organic:water, where the organic is methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile at a concentration of 3 mg/mL. Peptoid solutions were dried onto silicon wafer chips (~1 cm × 1 cm) using various combinations of administration technique and drying environment. The three administration techniques that were investigated include: (i) pipette spot—small sample volume (~5 µL) administered to the chip using a pipette, (ii) full coverage—large sample volume (20–50 µL) administered to the chip using a pipette and fully coating the surface, and (iii) dip—submerging the chip in the sample and removing it in a vertical orientation. The three drying environments that were investigated include: (i) open air—chips were placed in an open Petri dish and dried at standard room conditions for ~1 hour, (ii) humidity chamber—chips were placed in a closed container controlled to 60% humidity for 3–4 hours, and (iii) vacuum chamber—chips were placed in a container and house vacuum was applied for ~5 minutes.
The dried peptoid coatings were visually analyzed using a Phillips XL-30 environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) to observe surface morphology and determine the effect of the given conditions to form a uniform self-assembled peptoid microsphere coating on the substrate.
Previous studies in our lab have shown that helical peptoids that are partially soluble in water form microspheres when dried from aqueous/organic solutions [
Chemical structures for peptoids A and B.
The importance of solvent choice was investigated using three protic solvents and one non-protic solvent. Protic solvents have been shown to help stabilize the secondary helical structure of peptoids through hydrogen bonding [

Another parameter that can have importance in the formation of uniform microspheres is the administration technique. Coatings can be administered very simply by pipette or by methods that are more readily adapted to a high throughput protocol, such as dipping. Here we utilized three administration techniques to determine the effect on coating uniformity: (i) pipette spot, (ii) full coverage, and (iii) dip. For each administration technique, the peptoid was dissolved in 4:1 isopropanol:water and allowed to evaporate from the slide at standard room conditions.

The effect of drying environment, and therefore drying time, was investigated by adjusting the humidity during evaporation. Humidity and vacuum chambers were used to create slow and quick drying environments. The conditions for the evaporation step were (i) open air—about 1 h, (ii) humidity chamber—3–4 h at 60% humidity, and (iii) vacuum chamber—about 5 min.

Testing of coating protocol parameters has shown that uniform peptoid microsphere coatings can be consistently formed. In order to be useful in biosensor applications, the coatings must be robust through multiple washing steps and conditions, as well as form on various substrate chemistries. Here we investigate robustness through repeated washing with phosphate-buffered saline/Tween (0.05%) and deionized water.
Minimal changes in the uniformity of the coating were observed, as shown in
SEM images before (A–C) and after (D–F) washing. Coatings are
The ability to form uniform peptoid microsphere coatings on other substrates was investigated using ultraclean glass slides that are commonly used in ELISA microarray assays. Peptoid was dried onto a glass slide using the best conditions as determined in our lab (protic solvent, full coverage, and open air drying). The slides were imaged with no further processing, resulting in blurry images due to the low conductivity of the glass substrate. However, as shown in
SEM image of uniform surface coating on a glass slide. Coating is
To our knowledge, this is the first thorough investigation of coating protocol for peptoid microspheres. Previous work from our lab showed that helical peptoids with partial water solubility reproducibly self-assemble into microspheres, but uniform coatings were not consistently achieved [
While there was no difference observed in the formation of microspheres with the three protic solvents investigated (methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol), a non-protic solvent (acetonitrile) did not form uniform coatings. Since protic solvents have been shown to induce helical structure in peptoids, we believe any protic solvent will allow for the formation of uniform peptoid microsphere coatings. Both the full coverage and pipette spot techniques resulted in uniform coatings in the center of the slide, but coating from the pipetted spot technique had spotty areas near the edges of the spot that occurred due to drying effects. The dipped slides (both rapid and extended) did not result in uniform microsphere coatings. We believe this is because the peptoid microspheres do not adhere to the slide until the solvent begins to evaporate. The drying environment greatly affected the ability to form microspheres, as well as the uniformity of the coating. Drying the sample in a vacuum chamber resulted in small globular structures rather than microspheres. Drying in a humidity chamber resulted in high microsphere density at the center of the chip, with the microspheres clumping together in chains. Drying at standard conditions consistently resulted in the formation of uniform microsphere coatings. Further investigation of the peptoid microsphere coatings showed that they were quite robust when exposed to high salt conditions in the presence of surfactant and they were able to form on glass substrates.
These studies show that using a protic solvent, administering the peptoid using the full coverage technique, and drying in open air allows for the most uniform and robust coating of self-assembled peptoid microspheres on silicon or glass substrates. These coating protocol results are promising as they show standard processes used for biosensor technologies can be applied to peptoid microsphere coatings with no special considerations.

You're not very hate-able, so she must have been a doozy.
Thank you, you're be bestest.
She was...a doozie, for sure. And her three children were heathens. So glad it's a but a distant memory.
The only,
thing I can give her any credit for is Mr. Spring joining the Coast Guard. They were both working at the same hotel and were having a conversation about him joining the military. He was originally thinking Navy or Marines and she asked him "What about the Coast Guard? They would stop in Puerto Rico all the time and party, party, party." (she was originally from
, which is where my dad met her) and that did it for Mr. Spring.
At the ripe age of 22 "Party, party, party" reeled him right in. haha
Sorry for the tangent!
Byron,GA> Charleston, SC> Jacksonville, FL> Guilford, CT> Rohnert Park, CA! A southern drawl in sunny Cali! .
The amount of time from slipping on the peel and landing on the pavement is exactly one bananosecond.
I do have a secret yen for pink in unexpected places.

"AWESOME" was the word Alex Smith used to sum up his experiences with the air cadets.
In the five-and-a-half years since he joined the 620 Derwent Valley Squadron the 18-year-old has had the chance to learn how to fly a glider, completed the Duke of Edinburgh Award and travelled the world.
He is now looking towards a career as a member of the air crew in the Royal Air Force once he completes his time with the Belper-based unit.
He said: "I wasn't looking for a career in the air force before I went into the cadets, but after going on camps and seeing the life the crew have got there and talking to people who tell you how good it is, it makes me want to go into it.
"Being in the cadets will make it easier because I've got more knowledge about the lifestyle than other people from civilian life."
Alex, who lives in Oakwood, is one of around 55 cadets in the Belper squadron, which meets at the Drill Hall, on Cluster Road.
The squadron, which has been running since March 1986, is one of 30 in
the Trent Wing of the Royal Air Force Air Training Corps, which has more than 40,000 young members nationwide.
The group, which has members ranging from 13 to 20, meets twice a week at the hall, which it moved to from Duffield in May this year.
During the two-hour sessions, youths take part in drills, initiative exercises, inspections, and projects, as well as taking part in lessons to learn about the air force.
Alex, who has just taken part in a cadet exchange in Canada said: "I enjoy the discipline involved with cadets. When I was little I was quite naughty, then I joined the cadets when I was 13, and over the years I've just matured.
"I really enjoy all the opportunities you get that you wouldn't get if you weren't in the cadets. And I've got so many friends here."
The group is also heavily involved with the community, helping out at local events. This year the cadets also took part in their first Remembrance Day parade in Belper.
The first forces cadets sprang up in Britain in 1859, when groups of young men at several schools around the UK formed armed and uniformed units to help the country in the event of attack from overseas.
In the 1930s a man named Air Commodore John Chamier set up the Air Defence Cadet Corps with the purpose of preparing men to join the RAF in readiness for war. Squadrons were set up in towns and cities and run by local people.
The air cadets as they are known today have sprouted from this model in the intervening years. Girls were also allowed to join the squadrons from the early 1980s.
Famous former cadets include DJ Neil Fox, actor Richard Burton, and Belper's own Bond star Timothy Dalton.
Today the organisation is geared to offering young people challenging, exciting and adventurous experiences, as well as teaching valuable skills and knowledge.
Flight Lieutenant Austen Colledge, commanding officer at the 620 Derwent Valley Squadron, said: "There are just so many opportunities and so many things people can experience. I've been doing this for 13 years and I still come across things I didn't know we did.
"It gives young people something to do as well, instead of standing on the street doing nothing.
"Plus young people can form strong friendships with people they would probably never have met otherwise.
"I would definitely urge more young people to get involved with it. It's not essential to be plane mad."
The Belper-based group meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7.15pm until 9.15pm. Anyone interested in joining or finding out more can head down to talk to officers at around 7pm on these nights.

Michael J. Fox Talks Parkinson's Battle in Rolling Stone: I'm OK
He's making his big return to the small screen in the new series "The Michael J. Fox Show" and now Michael J. Fox is sharing details about his fight against Parkinson's disease in the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine.
During his interview with the publication, the "Back to the Future" actor opened up about his disease and his big decision to return to television.
Check out a few highlights from Mr. Fox's Q&A session below. For more, be sure to visit Rolling Stone!
On his acting:
"People said, 'Are you sure you can handle this? Are you sure you can take it on? Are you sure you can deal with it?' And I said, 'No. I'm not sure I can, but I want to and I have an opportunity to.' And another side of it, that I don't deal with every day but is certainly present, is that on some level it might be empowering for people."
On his symptoms:
"People look at me and have fear and sadness in their eyes, which they think they're seeing reflected back at them. They wouldn't see what I'm really feeling, which is, 'I'm OK!' But people are afraid. I did an interview with Larry King and it was a little more disjointed and fractured than usual, and I realized that it was the first time I'd talked to him since my diagnoses and that he was afraid. So I had to understand that before people deal with me, they're going to deal what they think I'm going through. Then time will pass and then they'll realize that this is just my life, the stuff I was given to deal with."

It's A Hard Knock Life! See First Pics Of Quvenzhané Wallis Filming "Annie"
The collective squee you heard around the world last February was the casting news that 10-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis is starring in the "Annie" remake being produced by Jay Z and Will and Jada Smith. The pint-sized "Beasts Of The Southern Wild" star is replacing Willow Smith, who aged out of the role — and thank goodness for that, because Quvenzhané is beyond cute. Just look at her riding a CitiBike around Harlem! I'm not saying I'll ride the subway uptown and lurk around the set hoping to catch a glimpse … but I'm not saying I won't. [Image via Splash News]

The purpose of this study was to develop novel nanoscale biosensors using titania nanotubes (TNTs) made by anodization. Titania nanotubes were produced on pure titanium sheets by anodization at room temperature. In this research, the electrolyte composition ethylene glycol 250 mL/NH4F 1.5 g/DI water 20 mL was found to produce the best titania nanotubes array films for application in amperometric biosensors. The amperometric results exhibit an excellent linearity for uric acid (UA) concentrations in the range between 2 and 14 mg/dL, with 23.3 (μA·cm−2)·(mg/dL)−1 UA sensitivity, and a correlation coefficient of 0.993. The glucose biosensor presented a good linear relationship in the lower glucose concentration range between 50 and 125 mg/dL, and the corresponding sensitivity was approximately 249.6 (μA·cm−2)·(100 mg/dL)−1 glucose, with a correlation coefficient of 0.973.
Since their introduction in 1950, biosensors have undergone continuous development, and become widely used in industrial process control, food industries, environmental monitoring, and various applications in medicine and biotechnology. They are able to detect a small amount of enzyme on test paper. Formal development began in 1962, when Clark and Lyons proposed the "enzyme electrode", which reacted dissolved oxygen (O2) with glucose, allowing the glucose concentration to be measured by monitoring the consumption of O2 [
Titanium dioxide (TiO2, titania) has attracted great interest since the discovery of its photosensitivity [
Titania nanotubes (TNTs) have improved properties compared to any other form of titania for application in water and air purification photocatalysis, sensing, water photoelectrolysis for hydrogen generation, photovoltaics, photoelectrochemical solar cells, electronics, optics, tissue engineering and molecular filtration [
Biosensors have developed rapidly over the last few years. Some clinically important analytes include glucose, uric acid (UA),
Titania nanotube array films were fabricated from high purity titanium foils (99.99%) by titanium anodization. First, the Ti foil was cleaned to remove the oil and then dried in an oven. Second, the Ti foil was formed by epoxy and connected with conductive wire as an anode-electrode, with a 2 mm × 2 mm electrode area covered by insulating epoxy. Third, the anode-electrode was placed in an electrolyte that consisted of ammonium fluoride, ethylene glycol and high-purity de-ionized water (DI water) [
The formation of nanotubes in an electrolyte that contains hydrogen ions (H+), oxygen anions (O2−) and fluorine anions (F−) is described by a localized dissolution model [
The pore formation occurs as a result of the localized chemical dissolution of the oxide by F−, according to the following reaction [
This leads to a higher field at the bottom of the pore that drives further oxidation and field assisted dissolution, where titanium ions come out of the metal and dissolve in solution. The metallic region between the pores also undergoes a similar transition, leading to tube formation. For a given rate of pore formation, the chemical dissolution of the oxide at the pore mouth by fluorine anions determines the tube length. Higher anodization voltages increase the oxidation and field-assisted dissolution; hence, a greater nanotube layer thickness can be achieved before equilibrating and then chemical dissolution [
Glucose and uric acid biosensors were manufactured using glucose oxidase (GOD) and urate oxidase (uricase), and covering the TNTs array films with ferrocenecarboxylic acid with PVA-SbQ, using the entrapment method. Polyvinylalcohol-bearing styrylpyridinium groups (PVA-SbQ: degree of polymerization 3500, degree of saponification 88, betaine SbQ 1.05 mol%, solid content 10.22 mol%, pH 5.7 and SPP-H-13) were obtained from Toyo Gosei Kogyo (Chuo-Ku, Tokyo, Japan). GOD and uricase were both purchased from Sigma. All reagents were of analytical grade. Glucose and uric acid biosensors were prepared as follows [ Step 1. First, glucose oxidase (9 mg) or urate oxidase (10 mg) and luxuriant irons (ferrocenecarboxylic acid) were placed in a phosphate buffer liquid solution (phosphate-KOH buffer solution, PBS, 100 μL). The concentration of the phosphate buffer liquid solution was 5 mM and its pH was 7.0. Step 2. PVA-SbQ (100 mg) was placed in a phosphate buffer liquid (100 μL). They were mixed in a 1:1 proportion. Step 3. Oxidized enzyme liquid (1 μL) and PVA-SbQ buffer mixture was dropped onto the TNTs sensing window. The whole was then exposed to an ultraviolet lamp for 20 min, and then stored under dry conditions for about 24 h at 4 °C. Step 4. The above sample was soaked for 60 min in DI water, and then soaked in the Phosphate-KOH Buffer Solution (PBS, 5 mM, pH 7.0) for about 1 h before use.

Uric acid and glucose measurement responses were based on the electrochemical oxidation of H2O2. The oxygen atoms serve as the electron transduction mediators, which catalyze the production of H2O2 as byproducts of UA and glucose. The hydrogen peroxide is electrochemically oxidized at the sensing electrode. Therefore, the UA and glucose concentration can be determined by measuring the current in the sensing electrode. However, oxygen is extremely active, and the oxidation or reduction over-potential of H2O2 on an electrode surface is large, and electronically active components are generated that interfere with the reaction. Therefore, a small electron transduction mediator molecule, ferrocene, must be added to the enzymatic electrode to catalyze the reduction of H2O2, and to reduce the reduction over-potential of H2O2 on the electrode surface [
The cyclic voltammetry (CV) method is a type of oxidation-reduction reaction measurement. The system includes a biosensor as a working electrode, and a reference electrode (RE) using Ag/AgCl forming a two-electrode setup. The potential was cycled between −3 V and 3 V at a scan rate of 120 mV/s.
An amperometric readout circuit (
The amperometric measurement system used biosensors as the working electrode, and the Ag/AgCl reference electrode (RE) which delivered the base potential for the working electrode. The output current density was:
The high-purity (99.99%) titanium foils used in this work were obtained from Alfa Aesar (Ward Hill, MA, USA). All anodization experiments were conducted at room temperature (24 °C). The anodizing voltages were kept at 60 V for 1 h with a platinum counter-electrode during the entire process.
The composition of the electrolyte used is a critical factor for nanostructures during anodization. In this work, two types of TNTs array films were obtained by different electrolytes, and the corresponding NH4F concentration of electrolyte type A is 0.05 wt% greater than that of type B.
The cyclic voltammetry measurement of uric acid cycled through the range of −3 V and 3 V potential at a scan rate of 120 mV/s. The inset of

The response was very rapid, and an available current signal was generated within a few seconds in every UA concentration. Furthermore, they exhibited splendid linearity for UA concentrations between 2 and 14 mg/dL, and the sensitivity was approximately 23.3 (μA·cm−2)·(mg/dL)−1 UA, with a correlation coefficient of 0.993, as shown in
The life time of the uric acid biosensor is investigated in
The uric acid biosensors were stored under dry conditions at 4 °C in a refrigerator when they were not in use. After 40-times measurements in different UA concentrations, the variation percentage of sensitivities is small 5%.
The glucose biosensor assayed with the cyclic voltammetry measurement as Section 3.2.1 presented a good linear relationship between current density and glucose concentration in the lower glucose concentration range between 50 and 125 mg/dL, and the corresponding sensitivity was approximately 249.6 (μA·cm−2)·(100 mg/dL)−1 glucose with a correlation coefficient of 0.973. The calibration curve of the glucose biosensor is plotted in
The life-time test of the glucose biosensor with TNTs films made by anodization is displayed in
In this study, we developed a novel nanoscale biosensor using titanium oxide nanotubes made by anodization. The anodization treatment created large surface areas on the tubes' inner and outer sidewalls, which were involved in redox reactions and formed a microenvironment favorable for enhancing the direct electron transfer between the enzymatic active sites and the electrode. Otherwise, some metal-oxide nanomaterials have high isoelectric point (IEP) and a good surface for oxidase immobilization. Therefore, much attention to these electrode materials will be paid. Since titanium oxide has high IEP (3.9–8.2) dependent on the manufacture method and is environmentally-friendly [

Laura Bell Bundy lights up the screen and stage as an actor, country singer, and Broadway star. Now, dogs everywhere will be barking the praises of Bundy because this crooning cutie's latest role is promoting dog safety in a public service announcement for peta2. Laura Bell and her adopted Chihuahua, Norma Jean, star in a beautiful print ad and video to warn dog guardians about the dangers of leaving dogs in cars during warm weather.
Each year, thousands of dogs suffer and die when their guardians make the mistake of leaving them in the car while running a quick errand. On why she chose to take part in this campaign, Bundy says, "[I]t was important for me to protect dog safety and to also, for me to actually be aware of the realities of leaving a dog alone in a car during the warm weather. It's, it's pretty intense, and people need to know about it."
On the average summer day, the temperature inside a parked car can reach more than 100 degrees within minutes—even when the car is parked in the shade with the windows rolled down. Animals can suffer brain damage or death from heatstroke in just 15 minutes. Beating the heat is extra tough for dogs because they can only cool themselves by panting and sweating through their paw pads.
If you see a dog left in a car, write down the car's color, model, make, and license-plate number. Have the owner paged in nearby stores, and call local humane authorities or the police. Whatever you do, do not leave the scene. If you cannot track down the dog's guardian, the police are taking too long, and the dog appears to be in imminent danger, do whatever it takes to get the dog out. His or her life depends on it.
Be a dog defender and pledge to help save lives this summer by alerting others to the dangers of leaving dogs in cars.
Help Save Dogs This Summer
Pledge Text:
With summer right around the corner, I pledge to spread the word about the danger of leaving dogs inside cars in the heat.
