Plan to advance wound care treatment takes top prize in Burrill competition
A plan to develop advanced materials for wound care and surgical applications presented by Ankit Agarwal, a Kauffman Entrepreneurial Postdoctoral Fellow in Biomedical Engineering, and Umang Nagpal, a PhD Chemical Engineering, took the top prize at the 2010 G. Steven Burrill Business Plan Competition.
Agarwal and Nagpal developed a business plan for taking UW technology for making ultra-thin polymers loaded with silver nanoparticles to market. The company's silver collagen dressings would prevent infections, improve healing, and reduce treatment costs for people with burns and chronic wounds. Agarwal was featured in BusinessWeek as one of "The Next Hot Entrepreneurs: Science PhDs."
From social media software firms and biofuels to high-tech wound care and eco-friendly apparel, students at the University of Wisconsin–Madison pursued solutions to everyday problems as part of the annual business plan competition at the Wisconsin School of Business. Forty-two students and a record number of 20 teams presented their original business plans on Friday, April 23, in Grainger Hall for a shot at $23,250 in prize money.
New this year, the top-placing team in a technology, engineering, medical device or computer science area was eligible for a bonus award: free office space for one year in the new University Research Park Metro Innovation Center, a prize worth $15,000. The Department of Financial Instititions created another new award of $1,000 prize for what the judges deemed an "Investment Ready" plan. This year's winners were:
1st Place: im-Bed Biosciences ($10k)
2nd Place: Sector67 ($7k)
3rd Place: ProPov ($4k)
4th Place: MycoLogyx LLC ($1k)
Metro Innovation Ctr.: Student Spill
"Investment-ready": Student Spill ($1k)
Green Venture: Buffalo Shoals ($1k)
Mini-prize: im-Bed Biosciences ($250)
Eligible entries included both high-technology businesses and ideas for companies where technology doesn't play a vital role. This year, eight teams entered social media and open source software solutions firms—a substantial increase over last year. To learn more about the student business plans, click here.
"Entrepreneurship leads to innovation—it answers questions and provides solutions," says Anne Miner, professor of Management and Human Resources at the Wisconsin School of Business and faculty director of the competition. "This event provides students the opportunity to come together and create answers to society's most challenging problems. It is incredibly exciting to see these young minds develop the next generation of innovative business ideas."
Student presentations were held throughout the day. Craig Andler (MBA, '03), vice president of business eevelopment at start-up Alice.com, shared his own entrepreneurial journey with participants and discussed the importance of being passionate and practical when building a new firm. Andler joined Alice.com after working at Madison start-up Jellyfish, sold to Microsoft in 2007.
Judges for the 2010 G. Steven Burrill Business Plan Competition included: John Neis, partner of Venture Investors; Lorrie Heinemann, secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions and chair of the Wisconsin Angel Network's Advisory Committee; Meru Thakur, an angel investor at Silicon Pastures; and, Dick Wilkey, founder and president of Fisher-Barton.
Since its inception in 1998, more than 350 students have participated in the competition while thousands have attended skill-building seminars to develop their business planning expertise. BusinessWeek and other national media have recognized competition alumni for their successes.
The competition is named for sponsor G. Steven Burrill, a long-time supporter of student innovation and entrepreneurship. Burrill is CEO of Burrill & Company, a life sciences merchant bank with more than $950 million under management. He earned a BBA degree from the Wisconsin School of Business in 1966.

Employment Law
Employment Law Questions? Ask an Employment Lawyer.
No, I do not. However, can they hire a candidate that didn't meet the requirements for the position (securities license), when I met the qualifications?
I never mentioned a promotion, but thanks for the very general information provided.
You stated that you applied for an internal position within your company. I assumed that it was a promotion, because most people don't apply for a position unless it will be a better fit for them or provide better benefits, income, etc. Regardless, that assumption, if incorrect, has no bearing on the legal outcome of the issue.The information that I have provided is general because the facts that you've given here are general and also because the law in this area is very general. Employers have wide latitude in what they can do, provided that they avoid making decisions using specific illegal factors. Did you have some more specific facts for me to consider?
As i stated previously, one of the requirements for the position is to have a federal securities license. One, in which the new hire does not currently have. One in which I was asked to "teach" the new hire how to pass this rigorous exam. Well, if i was told that am not qualified for the job, how can I be qualified to teach the required licensing course?
Thanks again, obviously the law is narrow in scope.
I will agree with you there. The law is narrow in scope. The Supreme Court dictated such in one of its decisions concerning the definition of the term "hostile work environment."
The Supreme Court stated that our employment laws are not meant to be a civility code, but rather, are only intended to address specific and narrow issues of law, namely, the issue of discrimination made illegal by statute.
I do wish that I could tell you differently here, but it would not help you for me to tell you that you have a claim when you do not.I'm simply respecting you enough to be honest with you.

A 10-year study of the influence business finds that the billions of dollars ($3.5 billion in 2009 alone, according to the Center for Responsive Politics) thrown at elected officials add up to a whole lot of nothing—that is, the influential spend a lot of time, energy and cash stalemating each other and keeping things the way they are.
The real outcome of most lobbying — in fact, its greatest success — is the achievement of nothing, the maintenance of the status quo. "Sixty percent of the time, nothing happens," says Frank Baumgartner, one author of the book and a political science professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "What we see is gridlock and successful stalemating of proposals, with occasional breakthroughs. We see a pattern of no change, no change and no change — and then some huge reform."
But those large reforms — such as health care for 32 million uninsured Americans under President Barack Obama, the scheduled phase-out of the estate tax under President George W. Bush, and the normalization of trade relations with China under President Bill Clinton — are far more often linked to a change in who inhabits the White House than to campaign contributions or K Street hires.
The health care bill may count as a breakthrough, but it's also a clear-cut case of the power of lobbyists to corrupt public officials. Lately the stalemating described in the article excerpted above doesn't seem to be working very well, at least where the interests of the unwashed masses are concerned. —PZS

Mohamed Massaquoi made a leaping grab in the corner of the end zone on a 14-yard pass from Colt McCoy with 43 seconds to play to lift the host Cleveland Browns to a 17-16 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
The Browns trailed throughout most of the contest, but Miami's inability to cash in from the red zone left the door open for McCoy, who led Cleveland (2-1) on an 80-yard game-winning drive.
Cleveland played without running back Peyton Hillis, who was a late scratch with a strep throat. Hillis, the focus of Cleveland's rushing game, was sent home with a high fever and some reports say he could miss three weeks. Montario Hardesty replaced Hillis and gained 67 yards on 14 carries and also caught a crucial pass for a first down on the final drive.
The Dolphins (0-3) possessed the ball for nearly 38 minutes and Chad Henne completed 15 of his first 17 passes. He finished 19 for 29 for 255 yards.
Miami got the ball back in Cleveland territory following the Massaqoui touchdown, but threw three straight incompletions before getting intercepted on a 4th-and-10 play with 13 seconds left.
Henne opened the scoring by completing a 10-yard pass to rookie Daniel Thomas in the first quarter.
The Browns tied the game when McCoy found Josh Cribbs in the end zone from 33 yards out. Cribbs made a leaping grab for the score.

On going to war
Democrat Barack Obama was an Illinois state senator in 2002 when Congress voted to give President Bush the authority to use military force against Iraq. "I don't oppose all wars. "What I am opposed to is a dumb war," Obama said at the time. He predicted that even a successful war in Iraq would require "a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at an undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences," and "fan the flames of the Middle East."
On Bush's troop increase
Obama, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was opposed to Bush's plan in January 2007 to temporarily build up U.S. troop levels in Iraq to combat sectarian violence and help Iraqis achieve independence. In September 2007, Obama also criticized Bush's proposal to withdraw those additional troops by summer 2008 but leave behind about 130,000 forces. "He is bound to the same failed course that we have seen for the last several years," Obama said of Bush.
On moving forward
Obama proposed in September 2007 to remove all U.S. combat troops in Iraq by the end of 2008. He called for a "new approach" on achieving reconciliation among the Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds in Iraq. Obama's plan also would escalate diplomatic efforts to engage Iraq's neighbors and the United Nations to help stabilize Iraq, and provide more humanitarian aid to the war-torn country.

Formicidae, Hymenoptera, Insecta, Arthropoda, Animalia
Costa Rica to Bolivia. Costa Rica: known from both wet and dry forest, in Atlantic and northern Pacific lowlands (Santa Rosa, road from PanAmerican Highway to Monteverde, Tortuguero, La Selva Biological Station, 500m in Braulio Carrillo National Park south of La Selva).
Mesosomal dorsum with erect hairs; opening of propodeal spiracle viewed perpendicularly slit-shaped, more than twice as long as wide; mandible with approximately 13 teeth; dorsal outline of mesosoma interrupted by a distinct, impressed propodeal groove, so that the mesonotum forms a convexity separate from the more or less convex propodeal dorsum; in full-face view, a line drawn through the centers of the eyes falls near head mid-head, crossing near posterior limits of frontal carinae; cheeks with a distinct carina reaching from clypeal wing to eye margin; anterior face of petiolar node perpendicular, forming an angular anterodorsal summit; posterior face of petiolar node coarsely, transversely striate to apex; head width including eyes greater than 2.0mm.
Natural History
This large arboreal ant prefers open sunny areas. I have collected workers in Santa Rosa National Park, in scrubby vegetation along the road to Monteverde, in open pasture areas around Rara Avis, and in isolated trees in young secondgrowth areas of La Selva Biological Station. I observed one nest in a recently felled Hieronyma oblonga tree. The tree was in a pasture in an area of active clearing of rainforest, at 500m elevation just south of La Selva. A small nest entrance hole, little larger than a worker, lead to a large cavity in a knot, where there were abundant workers.
This species is similar to villosa in morphology and size. It is generally sympatric with villosa, but villosa is more abundant and has a broader habitat range, occurring abundantly in dry forest, in disturbed habitats, and in mature rainforest.
Type Data
Formica foetida Linnaeus 1758:582. Syntype queen: "America meridionali."
Literature Cited
Linneus, C. 1758. Systema Naturae per regna tria naturae, secundum classes, ordines, genera, species, cum characteribus, differentiis, synonymis, locis. Editio 10.1:823 pp. Holmiae.

Green remains amidst reshuffling at GAPF AGM
Incumbent of the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPF), Peter Green remained at the helm but some reshuffling within the executive was made when the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the federation was held on Sunday at the Tropical View Hotel.
One of Guyana's most celebrated powerlifters, John 'Big John' Edwards was voted in as the federation's vice president, replacing Gordon Spencer who is now the General Secretary.
Paul Adams is the new PRO/Organising Secretary since Denroy Livan is on a self-imposed sabbatical and did not seek re-election. The new Treasurer is Deonarine Dutt and the committee members are Erwyn Smith, Wendell McPherson and 2012's World Masters 74kg Masters Two world champion and deadllift record holder, Winston 'Little Master' Stoby. During the AGM, it was disclosed that the GAPF received three professional powerlifting sets of weights worth $6M from the Ministry of Sport.
It was also mentioned that the federation is interested in bidding to host the Caribbean Championships, the Pan American Championships and the South American Champion-ships.
The initiatives are geared towards boosting sports tourism on these shores. Meanwhile, the GAPF also wishes to inform the general public that it has concluded its investigations into the matter concerning the confirmed Anti-doping violation and suspension its Sub junior lifter, Gumendra Shewdas at the World Sub junior / Junior Powerlifting Championships in Killeen Texas by the Governing Body for Powerlifting the IPF.
The Federation concurs with the report of the IPF Anti-doping hearing Panel comprising
1. Mr. James F. Cirincione (Chair) – USA
2. Ms. Janie Soubliere LLM, LLB – CANADA
3. Dr. Hugo Velasquez – COSTA RICA
As a result recommendations were therefore forwarded to the Disciplinary Panel for deliberations and the imposition of penalties (if any).
The panel considered the following arguments by the lifter and his support personnel (his mother, his grandfather and his coach)
1. Athlete had taken tablets for a cold.
2. The source of the tablets was his grandfather.
3. The main ingredient in the tablet was Geranium 20.
4. The athlete was unaware that he was ingesting a prohibited substance as he listened/and trusted his grandfather whom he grew up with all his life.
The findings by the governing body's doping hearing panel were very clear as was the rules governing the WADA Body to which the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation and its governing body are signatories
1. Prior to the taking of samples the athlete was given the standard doping sample form to be filled in which required him to state
a. The sample number – 2778838
b. Amount of sample (90ml) which was then poured in his presence into two tamper proof bottles and labelled sample 1 and Sample 2 containing 35ml and 55 ml respectively.
c. Questioned as whether he had been administered/taken any medicine within the last 48 hours to which his written response was NONE.
d. The bottle was then sealed in his presence and he was given a copy of the signed declaration form.

NFL Draft > 2008 Prospects > SS > Caleb Campbell
Caleb Campbell Scouting Report
|Army Black Knights
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'2 - 224 lbs.
2008 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Caleb Campbell, SS, Army
Campbell started six games during the 2004 season, earning a selection to the Conference USA All Freshman Team. He started all eleven games during his sophomore season, leading Army in tackles with 97 and added five interceptions. He did miss two games due to injury during his junior season, but still finished third in team tackles with 59. He was named team captain before his senior season. The Army granted a special waver to Campbell in order for him to be able to play in the NFL during the 2008 season and will still play in the East-West Shrine Bowl game. A few statistics: Great size and speed combination. Very quick and fast (4.48-40). Can run with most receivers. Takes good angles while pursuing. A sideline-to-sideline player. Great range, can play the whole field. Smooth backpedaling. Turns his hips well. Plays the ball well when it is in the air. Can leap over the receiver. Does not bite or play fakes. Disciplined player who will stay with his assignment. Will come up quickly to support the run. Great open field tackler. An intimidating hitter. He could use better coaching, his footwork needs correction, and he will need to improve the use of his hands. He also sometimes loss focus. Is big for a safety but small for OLB. He is a special player. Campbell is one of the better athletes in this draft. He sometimes gets by with pure athleticism. He is fast and agile enough to play safety in the NFL, but there's talk he can move to outside linebacker (although, he is undersized and under-strength for that position). He's not a twiner, he is a real football player. He definitely has a chance to impress in the all star game and could be a diamond in the rough.

I agree it's pretty useless; but if we're gonna forbid it then we should throw a more sensible error than "syntax error".

"Pumped Up Kicks": The National Anthem of NYFW
Most Popular
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
That song "Pumped Up Kicks," by Foster the People, isn't new. Yet two days into New York Fashion Week, it's still shaping up to take honors as the most-played show song all season. We heard it at NUMBER:Lab's show earlier this week. And again last night, when the band performed at a private party for Lacoste. And then, just now, a third time at General Idea's surf-inspired show. Three's a trend, of course, but we'll wager now the play count reaches closer to ten by week's end.

By Chris Sundheim, Associated Press Writer
Voters headed to the polls Tuesday to select governors in Mississippi and Kentucky, while four big-city mayors and a slew of ballot initiatives took top billing elsewhere in a quiet Election Day before next year's presidential vote.
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, one of the few politicians to emerge from Hurricane Katrina looking good, was heavily favored to defeat a Democratic opponent who laced his criticism of the Republican incumbent with references to his Christian beliefs.
In Kentucky, Gov. Ernie Fletcher was trailing badly in the polls, and ordered that the Ten Commandments be displayed alongside other historical documents in the state Capitol the day before the election.
Though most of the nation is focused on the 2008 election, voters in the gubernatorial races are largely concerned with state and local issues, said Brian Brox, a political science professor at Tulane University.
But "there will be a lot of people trying to spin it that way after the fact," Brox said. "They'll either say it was a vote for change if Democrats win, or it will be the Republicans saying, 'Not so fast.'"
Barbour's campaign capitalized on his successful management of the hurricane recovery, stressing job growth and rebuilding along the Gulf Coast.
In contrast, Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco came under such widespread criticism for her response to the hurricane that she did not seek another term. And New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin's hopes of winning higher office have almost certainly been damaged by the city's sluggish recovery.
Blanco's decision to step down opened the way for Republican Rep. Bobby Jindal, the Oxford-educated son of Indian immigrants, to win last month's Louisiana governor's race, the nation's only other gubernatorial contest this year.
Barbour's opponent, Democratic trial lawyer John Arthur Eaves Jr., quoted Scripture when he accused the governor of being beholden to "moneychangers" such as big tobacco, oil and insurance companies through his old Washington lobbying firm.
Barbour responded in a recent debate by reciting a passage from the Book of Daniel in which a hand appears out of nowhere to write a message on the wall of the temple in Babylon. If another hand appeared and wrote out a denial of Eaves' allegations, Barbour said, "that wouldn't be good enough for my opponent."
In Kentucky, Fletcher acted Monday on the Ten Commandments following a decision by a federal judge who ruled that a previous injunction in a separate court case did not apply to the display erected in the Capitol.
Democrat Steve Beshear also made religion a centerpiece of his campaign challenging Fletcher, who has spent much of his term battling accusations that he directed the hiring of political allies for jobs protected by the state's merit system.
Beshear cited his religious upbringing and ran television ads showing him in front of a church in western Kentucky. A former state lawmaker, attorney general and lieutenant governor, he is attempting a comeback after a nearly 10-year hiatus from politics.
Fletcher, the state's first GOP governor in more than 30 years, was indicted on misdemeanor charges that were later dismissed in a negotiated deal after a judge said he could not be tried in office. But the grand jury later issued its findings, saying Fletcher had approved a "widespread and coordinated plan" to skirt state hiring laws.
Voters were also set to choose mayors in San Francisco, Houston, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
In San Francisco, Mayor Gavin Newsom was poised to win his second term, just eight months after admitting he had a drinking problem and an affair with a close aide's wife. Despite his personal woes, the incumbent did not even face a serious challenger.
Houston Mayor Bill White had only token opposition in his bid for re-election as leader of the nation's fourth-largest city. White gained national recognition in 2005 for organizing the unexpected arrival of 250,000 evacuees from Hurricane Katrina.
In Philadelphia, former Democratic councilman Michael Nutter was nearly certain to become the city's next mayor on his promises to reduce gun violence, crack down on no-bid contracts and offer $10,000 tax breaks to companies that hire convicts. But first Nutter wants to declare a citywide litter cleanup and rid the City of Brotherly Love of its less-flattering nickname: Filthadelphia.
Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, who at 26 became the youngest mayor of a major U.S. city last year following the death of the incumbent, faces a challenge from Republican Mark DeSantis.
Several states were voting on ballot measures, including a Utah proposal that would create the nation's first statewide school voucher program open to all families. If approved, the plan would grant $500 to $3,000, depending on income, for each child sent to private school. Unlike other voucher plans geared toward low-income students or those in failing schools, Utah's plan would be available to anyone, even affluent families in well-performing districts.
In Oregon, voters were to consider a measure to raise the cigarette tax by 84.5 cents a pack -- to $2.02 -- to fund health insurance for about 100,000 children now lacking coverage. Tobacco companies opposing the plan have outspent supporters by a 4-1 margin, contributing nearly $12 million.
In New Jersey, voters will decide a referendum authorizing the state to borrow $450 million over 10 years to finance stem cell research. The Roman Catholic Church and anti-abortion groups oppose the measure, which was placed on the ballot by the Legislature with strong backing from Gov. Jon Corzine.

Sean Payton, Curtis Lofton Press Conference Quotes - Jan. 7, 2014
Head coach Pete Carroll of the Seattle Seahawks talks with head coach Sean Payton of the New Orleans Saints before the 2011 NFC wild-card playoff game at Qwest Field on January 8, 2011 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images)
New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton
(On their approach in preparing a game plan to play against the Seahawks...) "Well to some degree, it would be similar to playing divisional games. Where it's not unusual… we played a game this year with Carolina, then went on the road to Seattle and turned around and played Carolina the next week. So I think that you look at that tape, you study it closely, I think you still you look at the recent games and then all the way to the start of the season and even last year in your preparation."
(On what made him believe that Rob Ryan was the right fit as the Saints defensive coordinator...) "Well I didn't know Rob [Ryan] and really hadn't met him. It was after talking with a handful of people, his passion for the game is contagious with the players, he works great with the rest of the staff. All of those things that you value as a head coach and I think the process was a good one for us and you learn a little bit more when you start researching someone like that and it ended up working out great for us."
(On how the Seahawks has stopped the production of Jimmy Graham...) "Well each week, there's certainly areas of the field and situations where you try to feature a player like Jimmy [Graham] and Seattle has done an outstanding job on a number of good players. But I think the main thing is recognizing how they're taking him away. There's some things that Seattle does a very good job with, just within in their base scheme and how they play their coverages. They're very active in the secondary, they do a great job of applying pressure on the quarterback and you put those two things together and it becomes very challenging."
(On what the Seahawks did that made it a challenge for the Saints offense to be successful...) "Listen, they did a ton of things well. They rushed the passer, they stopped the run, they covered the routes down the field. You name it."
(On Richard Sherman...) "Well I think he's very instinctual, I think he works hard in his preparation. So I think he's smart and you can see that in his play. I think he's got outstanding ball skills; he's got the size, the length, obviously the confidence. So you get a unique combination of a lot of things that you would look for in a corner and he possesses those."
(On the importance of if a man goes down, the next man steps up philosophy...) "Well it's kind of our league. With the rosters, the way they are, there's going to be attrition when you look at a 16 game week schedule and you hope that you stay healthier than most and you hope that you are able to keep most of your starters intact. We've had a handful of injuries defensively, a few on offense and I think the key is developing the younger players, developing your back up players throughout the work week and some of that is more challenging with the way you practice and some of the tempos you have, but it's none the less, it's still important."
(On the keys to improving the Saints' running game...) "Well some of it is opponent-based and again I think up front, our guys have done a very good job. Last week, the situation, the type of game we were in, I thought the backs run hard. I thought that at the point of attack, we did a very good job."
(On the issues he faced at CenturyLink...) "Well there's probably four or five of these stadiums that really challenge you with communication, they challenge you with crowd noise because it's kind of like August down here in New Orleans. At some point, it's as hot as can be and we don't need to know the exact temperature. So it's loud and fortunately, we have one of those environments as well. But, you really have to be meticulous, focus all the attention to detail to minimize the plays we were just discussing."
(On if he has any concerns for the Saints secondary...) "How concerned am I? Yeah we didn't report any injuries today. So I think this. I think those guys on the back end will be ready to play and I think their focus last week and what we were able to accomplish last week was good enough to get a win and certainly as a coach, you are concerned every week just about your preparation and the match-ups. But I think they're doing well."
New Orleans Saints LB Curtis Lofton
(On how the Saints will change of the outcome of the game...) "I think that there's a lot of things that we can do. I think number one, don't turn the ball over, get turnovers, get pressure on the quarterback, keep him in the pocket, don't let him scramble and make big plays, stop the run game and be efficient in the red zone. So I feel like there's a ton of improvement and that's what we're looking to do."
(On what the Saints take away from their last match-up against the Seahawks...) "I think that we just got to execute. I feel like we had great calls called but we didn't execute and they out-executed us in the first game. So coming into this game, we just got to execute and play our style of football."
(On how the Saints have been able to play at a high level after experiencing many injuries to the Saints' starting lineup...) "Well I mean it's been tough but here, we have the next man up. Everyone prepares like they'll eventually be the starter and when someone goes down, then the next guy steps up, plays great, and becomes a key part for us. So losing those guys hurt us, but at the same time we had to move on. We'll miss Parys [Haralson], but we have other guys that will step up in his role and play good for us."
(On what it's like playing for Rob Ryan...) "It's two different approaches. Spags [Steve Spagnuolo] had a different kind of system and [Rob] Ryan runs a different system. They're very complex, but I think Rob's [Ryan] personality fits more with the group we have now and Rob instills confidence in us and I think that's been the biggest thing for us that's changed. We're a confident bunch and we feel like we can play with anybody."
(On the Saints' defense never knowing what to expect based on Rob Ryan's approach in preparation for games...) "For me, when I watch film, I kind of see some things that I know is going to be called and then Rob [Ryan], he's always wanting to have something exotic and fun for the players because I feel like it causes other teams that I have to worry about, you never know what they're going to be in."
(On the Saints' versatility in playing different styles of defense...) "Well I think that's just an added element to our defense. We can pressure, we can drop back into coverage. So we can do both and it just depends on what we're taking into the game plan. We can blitz or we can drop back into coverage. So I feel like as the offensive coordinator and opposing quarterbacks, you've got to be prepared for both."
(On the challenges the Saints faced when they played the Seahawks the last time...) "Well just on the defensive side, there's a few things that went wrong. We let Russell [Wilson] make big plays with his legs. We were confused, we left guys open, we didn't tackle their screens. So there were numerous things that we could've done. But that's all in the past. We're looking forward and it's another big challenge for us, but we'll be up for it."
(On if there is a visible effect on the Saints after winning a road game…) "Well I mean we've always been a confident bunch. We don't really care about what everyone says about us on the road. But last week, any time you get a win on the road during the playoffs, that's huge. In fact, getting a win at any time during the playoffs, that's huge. So we're feeling good and looking forward to this week."

HATTIESBURG — Eleven plaintiffs, including a Hattiesburg church, have filed a lawsuit in an ongoing dispute over pollution from the old Hercules facility.
Ashland Inc. of Covington, Ky., purchased Hercules in 2008. It has not yet responded to the lawsuit filed in federal court in Hattiesburg.
Local residents have complained for years about pollution from the plant.
Opening in 1923, Hercules manufactured myriad products including modified resins, synthetic rubber and agricultural pesticide. It closed in December 2009.
In 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency ordered Ashland to conduct on- and off-site testing after the EPA found benzene and several other hazardous materials in groundwater, soil samples and sediment tested by the agency that year.
The plaintiffs claim their properties are "hydrogeologically downgradient" from the facility, according to the lawsuit.

Nervous start for stocks
Weaker US markets and ongoing commodity declines makes for a nervous start for stocks
By Ric Spooner (Chief Market Analyst, CMC Markets)
We are likely to see some further risk reduction and selling pressure this morning as the market heads into the profit reporting season. Mixed profit results combined with relatively high valuations in some of major US stocks, especially in the tech sector has seen ongoing selling in the US market that is adding to international stock market nervousness due to concerns over emerging markets.
Although China's official PMI was in line with expectations with a read of 50.5, it shows ongoing declines in export orders and manufacturing employment that will do little to arrest current negative sentiment towards the emerging market sector. This was evident in ongoing weakness in commodity prices which will weigh on sentiment towards resource stocks this morning. Today's release of China's services sector PMI may further influence investor thinking on the state of China's economy.
Investor attention will also be focussed on this morning's building approval statistics. Recent figures have suggested that low interest rates and improving confidence are finally leading to a situation where dwelling starts are growing to meet the housing backlog. The market will be looking for this to continue as an area of potential strength for the Australian economy.
The key question for technical analysts at present is whether current weakness in the ASX 200 index is merely a correction of the rally from 5028 to 5381 or the start of something larger. A move below 5028 would resolve this issue in favour of potential for a larger corrective decline. In the meantime, the 200-day moving average around 5145 represents near term support while the 20-day moving average provides resistance at 5277.

The Inventor & Why It Works
Is your dog in the room with you ?
Is your dog anxious, restless or barking?
Dogs bark for many of the same reasons babies cry
Barking, growling and whining is a natural way dogs express how they feel and to let you know what they want.
Playing the Canine Lullabies is a nurturing way to console and engage dogs when they are anxious from being lonely, bored, afraid, frustrated, uncomfortable, sick, or want affection.
A search dog can hear a human heartbeat from 75 feet away.
Dogs choose what they want to hear. Their inner ear can shut off or filter out background noise and loud distracting sounds. That is one reason why it's possible for them to stay focused on one sound like the Canine Lullabies, and tune out the rest. – even thunder.
Watch your dog move his or her ears to focus on the music coming from your computer.
Upset and lonely dogs choose to listen to Canine Lullabies because they are attracted to and comforted by the compassion in the singer's voice and the familiar human heartbeat.
To hold your dog's interest and attention the basic principles of relaxation training have been incorporated into the musical arrangements.
The songs are repetitive, in tempo, and simple structured to make it easier for dogs to learn and comprehend. The familiar consoling human sounds on the Canine Lullabies are predictable, non-threatening and a safe haven to mentally retreat to when something is causing them to experience the fight or flight response.
After hearing the CD a few times your dog will become conditioned to relax and calm when they hear it playing.
Although it usually only takes one song to calm your dog, Canine Lullabies volume one has 9 songs and the Canine Lullabies combo CD has 18 songs. Press repeat on your CD player to play the CD continuously at night or when your dog is home alone.
Canine Lullabies CDs will also play on your DVD player, computer, or can be converted to an MP3.

Meat Me In Miami
Manny (The Mayor) Diaz was at the grand opening of Manny's (The Steakhouse) Steakhouse this week in the Met One Tower downtown. Manny's comes from Minneapolis, and specifically from Phil Roberts, a Minneapolis/Miami resident. It is an extremely well-regarded emporium of beef that serves only USDA-certified dry aged, center-cut beef -- "No bull". Manny's has received bullish reviews from everyone from The New York Times to the Independent Cattleman's Association, and Zagat-rated it as one of the Top 5 Steakhouses in the country -- all of which sways us considerably less than knowledge that Roberts also created The Oceannaire Seafood Room, arguably this city's premier fish house. Manny's is currently open for dinner nightly, beginning at 5 p.m.; lunch will likely be launched sometime in the future.
Raphaël Food & More is not a steakhouse, but a Mediterranean-type newcomer at 530 Lincoln Road. Still, it has designated June as "Meat Market Month", which means guests who order from the menu's meat section (lamb chops, filet, N.Y. strip, kosher bone-in rib-eye, etc. -- all under $30) receive a complimentary salad drizzled with organic corn oil vinaigrette, a glass of house wine, and an "Aphrodite créme brulee" with fresh mint and pineapple. You've got about two weeks left before the deal expires.
Filet mignon of milk fed veal with salsify and morel mushrooms (paired with Volnay 1er Cru, Bernard & Thierry Glantenay, "Santenots", Burgundy, France, '02), and venison loin with sheep milk ricotta gnocchi, asparagus, and port wine mission fig (with Syrah-Grenache, Domaine de la Pertuisane, "Vieilles Vignes", Roussillon, France, '04) will be the two meat courses at Pascal's on Ponce's 8th Anniversary Dinner on June 17th. The tasting menu will feature eight small plates in all, with an equal number of wines at a cost of $165 per person. Price includes a musical performance by young mezzo soprano Emelie Dybeck -- chef Pascal Oudin's niece.

Microfluidics Gives Boost to Protein Crystallization Studies
Proteins produced by cancer cells are among the common targets for anticancer agents, and thanks to efforts in proteomics and cancer genomics, the number of potential protein targets is increasing exponentially. One of the most powerful approaches to understanding protein function involves determining its three-dimensional structure in atomic detail, but this requires having pure crystals to study. Until recently, protein crystallization has been more art than science, but now, two new microfluidic devices have successfully automated the process of crystallizing proteins. These devices could reduce one of the major bottlenecks in the struggle to design drugs that successfully interfere with the function of these proteins.
Reporting its work in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, a team of investigators led by Rustem Ismagilov, Ph.D., has developed a nanoliter microfluidic device that can conduct approximately 1,900 crystallization experiments per hour. The device can vary the chemical conditions within 10 nanoliter plugs of fluid and then screen each plug to determine if the test protein forms high-quality crystals suitable for further study.
Using their device, the researchers crystallized so-called membrane-bound proteins, which experience has shown are among the most difficult to crystallize. Nonetheless, the investigators were able to form crystals of a complex bacterial protein and use those crystals to determine the protein's three-dimensional structure. Because of the device's design, the investigators were able to conduct X-ray diffraction studies on the crystals while they remained in the microfluidic capillaries. These studies were conducted using a synchrotron X-ray source. The investigators are now in the process of crystallizing as many as 30 membrane-bound proteins as a large-scale test of the device's capabilities.
Taking a slightly different approach, but still using microfluidics, a research team led by Carl Hansen, Ph.D., at the University of British Columbia, developed its own version of a high-throughput crystallization device that varies crystallization parameters in an array-type format. The device creates up to 1,000 different mixtures of protein and other reagents and then allows these mixtures to evaporate in a controlled manner, inducing protein crystal formation in those mixtures with the proper chemical conditions. This group published its results in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
The work with membrane-bound proteins, which was funded in part by the National Cancer Institute, is detailed in a paper titled, "Nanoliter microfluidic hybrid method for simultaneous screening and optimization validated with crystallization of membrane proteins." An abstract of this paper is available through PubMed.

WOODWARD I talked to people who said, The evidence is much skimpier than what they are saying. And we played around with writing a story about this and did not, and it's one of my regrets. We should've all been much more aggressive. It's an intelligence failure, it's a policy failure, it is a journalistic failure. Tom Ricks and I work at the same newspaper. If you had these doubts, which I was not aware of contemporaneously, we should have found some way to get out and say, "What do we really know here?" We can and should at least put the burden on ourselves to be one step ahead on this, and we were not.
TRAINOR We have to make a distinction when you talk about WMD. We were concerned in terms of operations and tactics about chemicals and biologicals, but not nuclear.
GORDON The military very much had the expectation that not only would it find WMD but it would encounter the use of WMD. One reason the Marines maneuvered the way they did around the battlefield was to stay outside the range of the artillery that they were told was chemical artillery.
RICKS It's also important to remember though that Dick Cheney in August 2002 got up at the VFW Convention in Nashville and said, "There is no doubt." Which is to say 100% certainty, and I think that had enormous influence inside the military, inside the intelligence community and even to an extent on journalists. When the Vice President says, "I know for a fact," a lot of people in the military said, "He must know something that I don't know."
SUSKIND And that evidence would often not be available. This is what Cheney said over and over, that evidence as we have defined it up to now may be too high a bar. When someone offers a doubt, Cheney slaps them down.
TRAINOR I think Cheney was kind of the Cardinal Richelieu in this whole thing. And he was feeding a predisposition that the President had.
TIME Bob, you yourself got some criticism for your first two books for allegedly being too sympathetic to the Bush Administration. But State of Denial is a very tough look at the situation now. Would you say that you are overcompensating?
WOODWARD You know, the books speak for themselves, and it was the New York Times that on the second volume ran two front-page stories saying that the book had jolted the White House. My best recollection is the White House is not jolted with something that is a sympathetic portrait.
TIME When it comes to war planning, military commanders are told to prepare for the worst. Why was hope such an important part of the tool kit this time?
GORDON Well, they in fact prepared for the worst. But they were very much fighting the last war. I mean, they were worried the oil fields would be set on fire. Why? Because Saddam had set the Kuwaiti oil fields on fire. So they entered the situation prepared for all the things that didn't happen and not the things that did.
RICKS A phrase that came to haunt me in the research for my book was [Deputy Defense Secretary Paul] Wolfowitz's "hard to imagine." It turned out that, yeah, it was the imagination. Wolfowitz said it was hard to imagine that you'd need that many more troops for an occupation than for an invasion.

Nicholas Hoult shows off redesigned makeup for his character Beast on the shooting location of the Bryan Singer-directed film, taking place in Montreal.
Thanks to Fan-Girl.org, fans can now get a closer look at Nicholas Hoult in his full makeup as Beast of "X-Men: Days of Future Past". With a transformed look of the ape-like mutant, Hoult is seen mercilessly attempting to knock down co-star Michael Fassbender in his role of Magneto by drowning him in a Montreal fountain.
In an interview with Bleeding Cool back when he's preparing "X-Men: First Class", Hoult revealed that Beast was his "favorite." The actor said, "As a character, I find Beast is fantastic ... There's this inner tension, because he's a scientist, and a careful man, and a worldly man, and he has this crazy exterior. He's scary."
The upcoming movie will be based on Uncanny X-Men #141 and 142 back in 1981 during Chris Claremont and John Byrne's run. The story introduced the idea of an alternate future for the Marvel mutants that grew out of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants killing an important senator, leading to a future where all mutants are hunted by Sentinels.
Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry and Peter Dinklage are some of many stars on board to support the much-anticipated flick from director Bryan Singer. "Days of Future Past" is scheduled for a July 18, 2014 release in the U.S.

"lslocks" was added as a new implementation to replace the unmaintained "lslk". "wdctl" was added for monitoring hardware watchdog status. Many new features and command line flags were added. Several features were deprecated.
Agent IQ is an intelligent server-side resource for responsive website design. It maintains a local database of device capabilities on your Web server and, based on the incoming user agent header, returns an array of capabilities. When a request is received, it looks at the User Agent String of the incoming header and matches it against the database. If there is a match, the device capabilities are stored as PHP and Javascript variables for you to use in shaping how your site is served. If there is no match, the request is re-directed to a JavaScript "learning page" where the database is updated with the client capabilities and is redirected back. There is a learning logic built in to avoid incorrect records. You can set a barrier which determines how many identical records need to be "learned" from unique IPs before the record becomes "official". An "official" record never diverts to the learning page again.
Release Notes: A recursive loop when the user agent string is blank has been fixed. There are other minor fixes.
Jodd is a Java utility library and set of frameworks. Jodd tools enrich the JDK with many powerful and feature rich utilities. It helps with everyday tasks, and makes code more robust and reliable. Jodd frameworks is set of lightweight application frameworks, compact yet powerful. Designed following the CoC, DRY, and SCS principles, it makes development simple, but not simpler; you get 90% of the features with 10% of the usual effort.
Release Notes: There are important changes in Lagarto/Jerry and in Proxetta. Many small issues have been fixed.
XML parser class is a PHP class that parses arbitrary XML input and builds an array with the structure of all tag and data elements. Optionally it can keep track of the positions of each element to locate elements that may be contextually in error. Supports a parsed file cache to minimize the overhead of parsing the same file repeatedly. Optimized parsing of simplified XML (SML) formats ignoring the tag attributes.
Release Notes: This release adds a new function that can validate and extract data from a whole XML document at once using given rules that define the accepted constraints for the tag structure and tag data values. Custom validation is possible using a subclass to implement custom validation rules. Full documentation of the class was added.
GPUMarkerTracker is a tracking software library for AR (augmented reality) markers. It utilizes GPGPU for fast and accurate tracking. It is intended for detecting markers from an HD resolution image so that small markers placed far from the camera can be detected. Each marker has a 12-bit payload with 9-bit CRC. The library does not produce false-positive detection errors of markers, practically.
Release Notes: This release includes Windows DLLs that can be used with OpenCV-2.4.2. Linux users can use any version of OpenCV.

Lorenzia – "Change the light bulb then fuck my cookie!"
Lorenzia, wearing a short, taut costume, features a boy over to fix her broken light bulb. He's up on a ladder, and that babe reaches up and begins rubbing his mounds, then works her way to his twat exceedingly quickly. He's shocked by what's going on, but chances are that guy is had this happen in advance of with old beauties. Those maintenance fellows, they have all the luck. They still must be home alone with hot babes like Lorenzia.
"Do u would like to play with me? Touch my fuckstick?" he says.
This babe doesn't answer. This babe just continues without caution, taking his cock without his pants and putting it in her face hole. And that is how Lorenzia's Initial fuck at 50PlusMILFs.com starts. It continues together with her bushy cookie obtaining screwed and ends together with her opening her throat for ball cream.
Lorenzia is a 55-year-old divorcee and mother of 2 who says the people who understand her would be shocked to see her here, sucking and fucking strangers for her pleasure and ours. That babe is a nudist but not a swinger. This babe enjoys going for walks in parks and swimming, and that babe likes a stud who does take charge.
Certainly, here, Lorenzia is the one taking charge. And that is nice with united states, too.

David vs. Goliath. The headline writes itself; although it would have been better if Duke didn't share that first consonant with the David character from the bible (yes, he was a fictional character). Butler vs. Duke. Clash between the small (4200 undergraduate students at Butler) and the titans of ACC basketball, Duke, with their disturbing tyrant of a head coach Mike Kryzyzewski (betcha didn't think I would take the time to spell it out for 'ya). Read on to find out why this is going to make you nauseous before Monday night comes to a close.
No one except those crazy kids from Butler had them going this far. I'm not even sure there were many Butler students who had them in the final of their brackets. But, these kids, many of them pastier than my Irish brethren, are the only team to have beaten a #1 seed-Syracuse, and the #2 seed-Kansas St. to advance in their bracket. They've consistently out-played bigger, stronger and more veteran teams.
I hate Duke, and that bias should be noted, but to simply proclaim them the champs because they're ranked higher and Coach K is more experienced, insults what Butler has done. Butler has the nations longest winning streak, currently at 25 games, and they're David? Really?
There is a multitude of drivel to shovel in the face of the American public, so why stoop to the lowest common denominator for your stories (I understand the irony behind that since I'm writing about how the David vs. Goliath story is silly).
This past weekend, I sat with my family in Indiana and watched the final four. My family likes to drink, so we did that too. Maybe you haven't heard, but Butler is from Indiana, so everyone was wearing Butler Blue. My family will do some more drinking after tonight's supposed contest between David and Goliath. David had his sling-shot, and Butler has their 4 perimeter shooters, and a stifling defense that hasn't allowed much over the last few weeks. But enough with the comparisons. Duke is favored, but Butler will prevail, and I'm looking forward to the drunken phone call from my cousins.

Facebook (FB) is once again looking to take on the fast-growing SnapChat, according to a report in the Financial Times. The social-networking giant is working on a new app, called Slingshot, that will allow users to send messages that quickly disappear. But can a Facebook SnapChat work this time around?
First of all, winning against SnapChat could be critically important for Facebook stock. The fact is that more people are getting concerned about having their digital life available to everyone. It can mean embarrassment, perhaps even losing a job or a spouse! But at the same time, people still want to communicate will their friends.
This aversion to a fully-open digital life is even resulting in some interesting legal actions. Just look at a ruling in Europe, in which users are allowed to force Google (GOOG) to taken down personal content. It's known as "the right to be forgotten."
No doubt, this is scary for Facebook stock. The European decision goes directly against Facebook's mission of "to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected."
Already there are a variety of interesting tech startups that are tapping into the new zeitgeist, such as Whisper and Secret. These apps allow for the sharing of anonymous messages and have been getting lots of traction. In fact, Whisper recently raised $36 million in venture funding from Tencent (TCHEY), Thrive Capital, and Shasta Ventures.
So a Facebook SnapChat does seem like a must-win situation. The new app has been under development for the past few months and Zuckerberg is the lead on the project. The focus is on making it easy to send short video message — that is, a user will push on a screen to make a video. Then, he or she can tap a user profile to send it.
Of course, a Facebook SnapChat would have the benefit of a massive engineering team that knows how to scale an app across more than 1 billion users. But the $19 billion acquisition of WhatsApp may also be a boost. After all, the app is the fastest growing in the messaging space, with more than 500 million users.
Despite all this, a Facebook SnapChat alternative will face some tough challenges. Keep in mind that Facebook tried to enter the market a year ago with its Poke app. Unfortunately, it proved to be a complete disaster.
History has shown that it can be extremely difficult to unseat web companies that already has a big lead in a category. Some examples include Twitter (TWTR), LinkedIn (LNKD) and Yelp (YELP). They have all benefited from "network effects," which means that the platforms get more "sticky" as the user base increases. Why leave if your friends are there and you have invested so much time there?
Besides, Facebook has had a dry spell with new products. For example, its Home app has gone nowhere, and Graph Search has seen little progress as well. Given this, it makes sense that Zuckerberg's strategy has been to purchase rivals, such as Instagram and WhatsApp. Of course, he tried to do the same with SnapChat. But his $3 billion offer was deemed to be too low.
With SnapChat's sizable head start, it will be pretty tough for Facebook to get any headway. After all, other top messaging apps, such as WeChat, Line, Tango and KakaoTalk are also big threats. Even Yahoo! (YHOO) has jumped into the game with its purchase of Blink, which is similar to SnapChat.
But Facebook really has no choice but to try again with another app. For the most part, it looks like the trend towards more privacy is real and could pose a long-term threat to Facebook stock.

Lindsay Lohan: Storage Auction Ahead?
She's not exactly the most responsible person in the world, and Lindsay Lohan has one more woe to add to her already lengthy list.
The "Georgia Rule" actress is in danger of having a bunch of her possessions auctioned off, as she has neglected to pay for the storage space in which they're kept.
Lohan is said to owe upwards of $15,000 to the facility, and if she doesn't pony up the cash a bunch of family heirlooms, designer clothes, and personal items will go to the highest bidder.
Additionally, LiLo owes hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes, and in January she'll face a judge to determine if she'll serve up to 245 days in jail for multiple probation violations.

Great stay, will be back
Extremely nice hotel.
It is very classy but still welcoming unlike other hotels I have stayed in, the rooms are big and the beds are comfy. However the pool, sauna and jacuzzi were the highlight of my stay. Would definitely recommend and I will be back for another stay. The staff are also really friendly and the food is amazing!

Enjoyable stay
We had a lovely time staying here and the ease of travel into central London was brilliant.
The only downside was the shower was fixed so not easy for our young daughter to use and we were given a room with a door to join the next room. Because of this we could hear absolutely everything that was said and happened in the room next door which obviously isn't ideal with a young child with us in our room.

Good all-round service
The hotel is clean and comfortable and the staff look after you very well.
If you use the Air Conditioning (which has 2 settings and is very efficient) you may experience a greater level of noise from the fan than expected, although this may be only in the room that we had. Room 136
