Acquitted of a horrible crime six years ago, Constance Blackwood (Jenn Gambatese) lives with her devoted younger sister Merricat (Alexandra Socha) and their uncle Julian (Bill Buell) in what was once the home of the richest-and most envied-family in a small New England town. Constance tends to the house and garden while Merricat invents magical charms to protect the surviving Blackwoods from the townspeople's prying eyes and vicious gossip. But talismans may not be powerful enough to keep the sisters together when their handsome cousin Charles (Sean Palmer) comes to visit.

We have a lot at one of our courses, I think that's what they're called. Anyway, if you land in one, sometimes you can work your way inside and throw out, albeit from a crazy lie with little to no window out. If you're not familiar, these don't have a trunk, they just spread all over from the ground up, more akin to pine trees but w/all kinds of crazy twisted branches and what not starting from the ground up.
If I can get in, I do and I just throw out. But what if I can't get my foot in there w/o breaking up a bunch of branches. I call an unplayable lie and play from behind the tree? How much relief do I get behind the tree and where does that relief line start? Also do you automaticall take a stroke if you if you call an unplayable lie?

The Day Chicago's Peter Cetera Was Attacked by Marines
On May 20, 1969, former Chicago bassist and singer Peter Cetera found out the hard way that the phrase "root, root, root for the home team" isn't just a catchy line from a beloved song. It's a real-world warning.
Following the completion of a grueling tour opening for Jimi Hendrix, Cetera — along with Chicago's saxophonist Walter Parazaider, guitarist Terry Kath and drummer Danny Seraphine — decided to take a trip to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles to take in a day of baseball. The bassist's beloved Chicago Cubs were set to take on the L.A. team in the first of a three-game series. The Cubbies completely dominated the Dodgers that day and won 7-0. As bad as the beat down was, however, perhaps the biggest loser in the park was Cetera when he came upon a group of servicemen.
"Four Marines didn't like a long-haired rock 'n' roller in a baseball park," the singer recalled in the liner notes to the Chicago box set. "And of course I was a Cub fan, and I was in Dodger Stadium, and that didn't do so well. I got in a fight and got a broken jaw in three places, and I was in intensive care for a couple of days."
In his autobiography Street Player: My Chicago Story, Seraphine recalled exactly what transpired. "'F— you, hippie,' one of the guys told Peter. He got up from his seat and pushed Peter down the aisle. When Peter regained his balance and started back up the stairs, another guy from the crowd hauled off with a right hook and hit him square in the face."
The attack ultimately impacted both Cetera's approach to singing and the general trajectory of Chicago.
"I had a broken jaw and I was wired shut for a few months," Cetera said in 2009. "And when they cut the wires off, I was always afraid of my jaw sticking open again, so I don't really open my mouth a lot when I sing."
In the meantime, given time to think — lots of it — Cetera found himself, for the first time, moved to create.
"I had just gotten out of the hospital and was lying in my bed convalescing when they landed on the moon," Cetera remembered in the Chicago box liner notes. "I grabbed my bass guitar and started this little progression on the bass, and started writing 'Where Do We Go From Here.' I think Walter Cronkite actually had said that, and I thought, 'Wow, where do we go from here?' So, in a melancholy way, I wrote it about that, and then I wrote it about myself, and about the world, and about everything in general — and that was my first writing credit."
Cetera went on to write or co-write some of Chicago's most familiar songs including, "Baby, What a Big Surprise," "Feelin' Stronger Everyday" and "If You Leave Me Now," which became the group's first No. 1 single.

What is the SBTC Disaster Relief Ministry?
The Disaster Relief Ministry of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention is comprised of three basic areas:
Disaster Relief Preparation, Disaster Relief Training, and Disaster Relief Response.
What is the purpose of Disaster Relief?
Purpose: To prepare, equip, train, and mobilize churches and volunteers to fulfill the Great Commission by meeting real needs and sharing the hope of Jesus Christ with those whose lives have been or will be affected by disasters.
Disaster Relief Preparation
|Disaster Relief Strategy. The DR team mobilizes churches and volunteers by focusing on three primary ministry areas:
Disaster Relief Ministries offers three seminars designed to assist Southern Baptists of Texas in Disaster Relief Preparation.
Disaster Relief Training
Training is offered for volunteers in seven ministry areas: mass care feeding, cleanup and recovery, temporary childcare, operations, communications, chaplaincy, and shower/laundry ministry. These trainings also include the Introduction to SBTC Disaster Relief. All volunteers are also trained in presenting the gospel in disaster settings. Further volunteer leadership training is also available for those desiring greater involvement in team and equipment management.

TROY Batchelor insisted the Robins can't use having to do without star man Peter Kildemand at Eastbourne as an excuse for their 54-37 loss on Saturday night.
The Dane was on European Championship (SEC) duty in Slovakia on the same evening, meaning he had to be replaced by a six-point Premier League rider, Justin Sedgmen, due to the fact the British authorities do not recognise the SEC.
In Kildemand's absence Sedgmen failed to score, but Batchelor insisted that can't be used as an excuse to explain away a defeat where only Simon Gustafsson (15 points) truly hit top gear.
"It was always going to be pretty tough without Pete but we can't make too many excuses really because they rode pretty good," he said.
"I think we struggled a bit and there's no real reason why but we have to get on with it and improve and learn from this.
"I scored paid nine but I struggled to start with and had to pull my finger out a little by the end.
"We have to look forward to Monday now and that's a meeting we really need to be looking to win."
The Robins skipper was pleased to see teammate Simon Gustafsson enjoy a stellar evening, picking up 15 points, and is hopeful the Swede can now build on his good display.
"Simon knows Eastbourne well and he was always expected to score some big points, so hopefully he can take something from that," he said.
"Speedway is all about confidence and after doing that on Saturday it shows he can do it and he now needs to go and do that on Monday.
"He's a better rider than he's been showing of late for sure and hopefully this starts something for him."
While Gustafsson enjoyed his best night of the season so far it was another tough evening for teenager Nathan Greaves, but Batchelor insisted it's all about learning for the young reserve.
"I think he crashed into the fence three times which is a really hard night, but it's a tough little track," he said.
"I've done the same thing he's done before so it's all about learning."

Ex-Microsoft Exec: Sony's PlayStation Worried Gates, Convinced Him to Make Xbox

Consoles were a second option for Microsoft
Despite the success of the Xbox, that was not Microsoft Corp.'s (
) first choice plan in the gaming space,
according to
interview with a former Microsoft executive. Joachim Kempin, who was VP of Windows Sales at Microsoft for 20 years starting in 1983, says his former employer only decided to build the Xbox after a falling out with Japanese gaming giant Sony Corp. (
I. Sony Console Worried Gates
The original Xbox and its successor, the Xbox 360, had their low points (
red rings of death
, for example), but have established themselves as a popular console gaming option, selling millions of units. The gaming unit is perceived as one of Microsoft's strong performing businesses.
Perhaps predicting both the rise of the console and tablet as replacements/challengers to the traditional PC,
Bill Gates
reportedly in the 1990s sounded the alarm when Sony announced the original PlayStation. Seeing Sony jump into the market, Microsoft became determined to beat its former partner, who was turning its back on PC gaming for a non-Microsoft alternative.
Describes Mr. Kempin:
The main reason was to stop Sony. You see, Sony and Microsoft…they never had a very friendly relationship, okay? And this wasn't because Microsoft didn't want that.
Sony was always very arm's length with Microsoft. Yeah, they bought Windows for their PCs but when you really take a hard look at that, they were never Microsoft's friend... but as soon as they came out with a video console, Microsoft just looked at that and said 'well, we have to beat them, so let's do our own.
The original PlayStation launched in 1994. Then in 2000 Sony introduced the PlayStation 2, which added PC-like media player functionality and broader support for online gaming on third-party servers. A year later Microsoft countered with the Xbox.
II. Crafting a Console
The payoff of consoles -- by Sony's model, at least -- has traditionally been the licensing fees paid by game publishers. The hardware itself is often sold at-cost, or even
at a modest loss
. For that reason Microsoft had trouble convincing a PC maker to hop onboard the Xbox experiment.

Recalls Mr. Kempin, "I went out to several PC manufacturers and tried to beg them to do the Xbox thing and keep the device manufacturing out of Microsoft. The guys were smart enough not to bite, because they studied the Sony model and saw that Sony could not make money on that hardware model, ever. So they supplemented it with software royalties, and Microsoft copied that model."
As for Xbox profitability, he argues that developers have always been the winners; that Microsoft has managed to break-even, but not do much better than that. He comments, "They're just maybe a little bit above breakeven, that's all there is. This is not a big money-making machine for Microsoft."
A former Microsoft exec. claims the Xbox is not a big money-maker for the tech giant.

Microsoft is currently diving into a third-generation console, which is expected to launch this holiday season. After trumping Sony in the last generation (dubbed by some as the "seventh-generation") of consoles, there are
some trouble signs
for the upcoming Xbox 720. While the spec looks
somewhat similar to Sony
, Sony's hardware is reportedly slightly more powerful and considerably easier to develop for.
Microsoft also may alienate customers with its stance on used games; reportedly it is tying purchases to your Xbox Live account, as a means of stopping game resale (which it earns no cut from). Sony, while a long time support of strict digital rights management, has not yet announced a similar anti-resale provision.

Wellllllll, it's a new year and yours truly needed to step her game up in the watch department. I used to be obsessed with watches, y'all. I mean seriously obsessed. But I go through phases with watches. One minute I need to haul every single one that I see and the next I'm all like, "Whatever…I don't need to wear a watch today." Armitron has reeled me back into my obsession and I'm glad because watches really do complete a look.
Esposo is a watch guy so he was all kinds of giddy about getting the opportunity to test drive this baby.
These pieces are the newest from Armitron's Spring 2013 collection. We'll rap on Esposo's watch first.
Retailing for only $33, I like this watch because it's nice enough to dress up and dress down. Because Esposo works in a pretty active field, he prefers watches that are pretty durable and can take a beating and still keep on tickin'. The blue face makes it wearable and the bling gives it a nice added touch of class.
And then there's this gorgeous rose gold watch…
I've had my fair share of watches but I've never owned a rose gold one. I'm a silver lovin' gal and can get pretty stuck in my ways but ZOMG, I think I'm starting to love rose gold.
A bit on the fancier side, this is the kind of watch that I'd only want to wear for date nights, church, special events or Girl's Night Out. I find it far too gorgeous to wear every day. It retails for $60 so it's not too much of a wallet breaker.
The best thing about Armitron watches is that they are afforable and durable. Both of the watches retail for under $75 which ain't too shabby if you are looking to step up your watch game. And because I love y'all, I've decided to give away a his and her watch set.
One lucky winner will win the following:
And if you're lookin' for more beautiful Armitron watches, check out their store on Amazon. In the meantime, press your luck to win these kids. Oh! And this is an International-friendly giveaway. Woo hooo!!

Brave souls faced cold weather Monday at the Veterans Day ceremony at the 20th Century Veterans Memorial and later, at an impressive parade through downtown.
Kim Baxter of North Platte sang an original song titled High Above Us All, followed by a special flag presentation to the family of World War II veteran Glen Wallace.
Glen passed away in 1999 but his sons did not properly receive a flag at the burial. Cal Stratton of the North Platte VFW saw that they did. Glen fought on D-Day and was awarded a Purple Heart. His sons, Doug and Danny of North Platte, accepted the flag on behalf of the family.
Kim Baxter then sang the Lee Greenwood song titled God Bless the USA and Stratton spoke of his trip to Washington D.C. to visit veterans memorials.
Stratton recommended a trip to the nations capital to see the memorials and to see them twice, once in daylight and once after dark, when all the lights are on.
Stratton said Its a world of difference at night when they are all lit up.
Don Piper played taps on the bugle to close the ceremony.
There were more spectators downtown for the annual parade. Kids scooped up candy along the route on Dewey and Bailey streets.
The parade began at Nebraskaland National Bank at Second and Dewey, then headed north, led by the VFW Color Guard. The North Platte High School marching band followed, looking smart and sharp. Despite the cold, the band gave a good performance.
Mayor Dwight Livingston cruised the parade route in a new Dodge Charger RT. Several vehicles with banners and paint schemes honoring veterans followed Livingston, including a custom Chevy Blazer belonging to the National Guard.
About two blocks into the parade, the entrants paused to allow a contingent of about 200 Girl and Boy Scouts to join from a side street and walk in honor of veterans.
Nice as well as familiar restored classic cars from the Flatlander Car Club carried signs and flags. From the same side street that the scouts entered, a line of beautiful Chevy Corvettes pulled into the parade, bearing signs that read Vettes for Vets.
Crete Carriers brought a semi-tractor that is custom painted in a military theme, honoring all who served and are presently serving.
It took about 90 minutes for the parade to wind its way down Dewey to Sixth St. and back on Bailey to Second St.

Aurora faces a decision regarding our superintendent's decision to retire, which will grant him better benefits over the course of the full retirement than if retirement is delayed to a future date.
Many government employees have the option of retiring before the defined retirement age when Social Security becomes available to the rest of the taxpayers. This makes for a very long retirement, most likely decades long. Maybe even longer than the time worked. Should we even consider double-dipping, which is rehiring the same person for the same job, with the taxpayers paying a retirement check for years ahead, in addition to a paycheck? Is it ethical to take advantage of a loophole that allows collecting a retirement check and collecting a paycheck at the same time for the same job? Should the rehire pay be the difference between the retirement check ($87,120, according to BuckeyeInstitute.org) and the current compensation ($132,000)? If so, the retiree would still come out ahead with bigger benefits for the length of retirement.
The Aurora school board members will decide whether to participate in double-dipping or not. The board could eliminate the work of searching for a new candidate and that could appeal to them. But what if a new person brings new ideas? What if there are great people out there who are looking for an opportunity? With the unemployment rate what it is, is it OK to play it safe and keep the same person, even with two checks? What about the slogan, "Kids Come First"? Is that just a nice thing to say while the board chooses to pack on employee benefits for adults?
We who care about fiscal responsibility will be watching what the school board chooses to do.
Rita Scott, Aurora

I have only had sex with one guy for about five months now. We're always changing postitons. And he wants me to be on top. But everytime I get on and try to ride him, it sucks. I even know that. Everyone say's, sit on him and ride it. Welll..How do you...ride it?!?!!? At first I was just moving my hips. Then later on.. I started going up and down. Which worked better.. but still sucked. I've rode him the other way. Sitting on it backwards. Which was better. But how the hell can I be good on top? Any suggestions?
Being on top is a tricky position, but there's no way to get better at it unless

Who could blame Michigan's senior citizens if they are feeling neglected? All they (we) hear is how young people don't want to live in the state anymore and are leaving, and Michigan is growing older.
Well, why don't we embrace our fate?
It was refreshing to see the cover of the current issue of "The Review," the snazzy publication of the Michigan Municipal League. "Aging in Place: Is Michigan Ready?" it asked.
There was a variety of stories -- all well done -- and -- lo and behold! -- one focused on Oakland County's very own Auburn Hills.
An electronic version of the full magazine is available at mml.org. Don't have a computer? Go to your local library and have them set you up.
"Michigan's biological clock is ticking fast," noted Daniel P. Gilmartin, the league's chief executive officer. "Right now, nearly a third of the state's population is over the age of 50. By 2030 -- the year the last Baby Boomer turns 65-- that number is projected to hit 36.8 percent. Do the math: that's 3.6 million people spread across every county in the state, living in every city, township and village on the map."
Gilmartin added that 90 percent of them are not going anywhere.
"So what does all this mean for our planners, policy makers and political leaders?" Gilmartin asked.
"First, this isn't an alarm signaling doom and gloom for the future. Viewed properly, it should be cause for applause and high-fives all around. Rather than representing an economic drain, the golden years really do bring along a substantial pot of gold. Americans over the age of 50 control more than half of the nation's discretionary income. A significant percentage of new businesses are started by people in this age group. Here in Michigan, our seniors can boast a combined annual income of $37 billion -- and unlike some younger demographics, they tend to spend much of that income locally.
"Obviously, we should want our seniors to stay put. But unless we begin right now to make age-friendly changes in how our communities are designed and how our services are delivered, many will find it difficult, if not impossible, to do so."
For Auburn Hills, doing what's necessary is apparently a matter of routine.
The city recently was recognized as an aging-friendly community by the state.
The Michigan Office of Services to the Aging and the Commission on Services to the Aging designated Auburn Hills as a "Community for a Lifetime" for the city's efforts in accommodating the needs of its senior population as they age.
The city's strengths, as noted by the commission, include the options for home chore services, numerous community events that promote inclusion and civic engagement and a comprehensive, accessible walkway system.
Assistant City Manager Tom Tanghe told The Oakland Press that the city has kept the needs of its aging population in mind by assessing itself on several key factors, such as access to health care, transportation, safety and security and housing.
"With a walkable downtown, an active senior center and senior-focused activities, and numerous outreach services, including a Meals on Wheels program that fed more than 10,000 people in 2012, the city is notably engaged in improving the quality of life for our senior community," Tanghe said.
To learn more about what Auburn Hills has to offer, contact Senior Citizen Services Director Karen Adcock at 248-364-6794 or email@example.com.
Of course, we know instinctively that Oakland County in general is a great place for senior citizen. There are great hospitals, restaurants, parks, municipally sponsored senior citizens activities and a range of housing. But from a policy standpoint we need deeper analysis than this.
Here is a great mission for senior citizens. They should educate themselves on local and county government, attend township board, city council and planning commission meetings, and try to get themselves appointed and elected to these positions.
There are numerous improvements that can always be made in what's available, not just for senior citizens, but for everyone.
Let's hear it for gray power!

Accrington Stanley seal Football League survival
4:57pm Saturday 26th April 2014
4:57pm Saturday 26th April 2014
ACCRINGTON Stanley confirmed their Football League survival after a 2-1 victory at Oxford United this afternoon.
The Reds sat rock bottom of the table after only two points from their first 10 matches, but have now sealed their place in League Two next season with a game to spare.
Kayode Odejayi fired Stanley in front in the 18th minute at the Kassam Stadium before James Gray doubled the advantage nine minutes after half time.
Australian Ryan Williams - brother of former Burnley duo Rhys and Aryn Williams - pulled a goal back for the home side in the 67th minute.
But Accrington had already done enough to secure their first ever victory over Oxford, and now sit 17th in the table ahead of their final game of the season at home to Wimbledon next weekend.
Stanley: Marcus Bettinell, Nicky Hunt, Dean Winnard, Tom Aldred, Adam Buxton, Will Hatfield, Luke Joyce, Josh Windass (Peter Murphy 80), Piero Mingoia, Kayode Odejayi, James Gray (Shay McCartan 85). Subs not used: Andrew Dawber, Rob Atkinson, Michael Liddle, Kal Naismith, Danny Webber.

A PARTY drug which police say is highly dangerous and can 'wreck lives' is becoming a bigger problem in Chard than in London, it has been claimed.
Avon and Somerset Police last week revealed it has made 28 seizures of ketamine in the past year, with several of them in South Somerset.
Ketamine, also known as Special K, is a powerful anaesthetic used on humans and animals during operations but it has also become popular among festival-goers and young people.
Earlier this year it was upgraded from a Class C banned substance to the more serious Class B category.
Experts say ketamine can reduce sensations in the body and cause serious bladder problems.
A 26-year-old man died after suffering a reaction to the drug at this summer's Glastonbury Festival.
Natalie Giles works with the drug and alcohol charity Swanswell, which was brought into the county by the Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Commissioner's office earlier this year.
Natalie, who is based in South Somerset, said: "Here in South Somerset there seems to be a problem with ketamine and heroin especially.
"Until very recently ketamine was a legal drug and because it is cheap and easy to get hold of, back in the 80s and 90s it was taken at free parties here.
"There is a bigger problem here with the drug than what I saw in London, where I worked for seven years, but it might be that people weren't coming forward.
"They don't want to be associated with heroin users."
Chard beat manager Constable Paul Thomas said in his experience it was the younger generation who seemed to be taking it more.
He added: "It is coming into the country in quite large quantities and it's an easily accessible drug which is quite cheap.
"It is a harmful drug that can shrink your bladder to the size of a walnut and users could end up with a colostomy bag for the rest of their lives.
"You see people wandering up and down the streets in town at night and the effect of the drug is so quick they don't even have time to wipe it from under their noses.
"It is highly dangerous because it sends you into a trance, so you're not really aware of your whereabouts – you could come into all sorts of danger.
"I think it will wreck quite a few lives because people aren't aware of the lasting effects.
"We urge anyone with any information on who is supplying it to come forward."
For help or advice about ketamine, email firstname.lastname@example.com
Or to report illegal drug use or dealing, phone police on 101.

POLICE chased down a suspected fraudster in Swindon town centre after store staff alerted them to his activities.
Shortly after 1.15pm on Thursday police received their second report of fraudulent activity in the town, and learned that store staff at one of the premises were stalling the suspect until they could get there.
As they arrived at the scene the man ran in the direction of Wharf Green but was tracked by the CCTV system in the area.
Security staff and officers from the town centre neighbourhood policing team were able to catch the 43-year-old suspect on Deacon Street.
A number of false identification documents that are thought to have been used in the fraud were found.
He was taken into custody and is currently on police bail while enquiries continue.
PC Paul Bezzant, of the town centre neighbourhood policing team, said: "We had two reports of fraudulent transactions being carried out during the day.
"One of the two venues had identified that there were suspect transactions, and at around 1.15pm they managed to bide some time while alerting police to their whereabouts.
"The suspect made good his escape but was tracked by the Day Safe CCTV network which is there for exactly this reason.
"A foot chase ensued from Wharf Green to the junction of Deacon Street and staff from the neighbourhood policing team were joined by loss prevention officers from a nearby store.
"The male was arrested and detained, and we recovered a number of pieces of documentation which the suspect had been using fraudulently.
"He had been trying to sell himself as a different individual, and has now been arrested on suspicion of two counts of fraud by false representation.

Jason Hodson '15, Hutchinson, is assisting Drew Israels-Swenson, manager of the Someplace Safe Thrift Store, with a marketing strategy. Someplace Safe is a nonprofit organization working to eliminate violence in west central Minnesota and beyond. Hodson's task is to create and execute a flexible, low-cost marketing strategy for the organization's Morris store.
The store's nonprofit status leaves little money for marketing, so Hodson relies heavily on social media, in addition to printed flyers, to cost-effectively spread the word about the store. Hodson, who wants to pursue a career in marketing for a large corporation, believes this experience in what he calls "grassroots marketing" has been beneficial. Though at times the job is difficult, he "feel[s] good about what [he's] doing because it's for a good cause."

This project is partially supported by an operating support grant to the University of Minnesota, Morris Center for Small Towns from the Otto Bremer Foundation.
The University of Minnesota, Morris Center for Small Towns (CST) is a community outreach program that serves as a point-of-entry to the resources of the University of Minnesota. Small towns, local units of government, k-12 schools, nonprofit organizations, and other University units are able to utilize the Center's resources as they work on rural issues or make contributions to rural society. Their mission is to focus the University's attention and marshal its resources toward assisting Minnesota's small towns with locally identified issues by creating applied learning opportunities for faculty and students.

Titratable control of pBAD and lac promoters in individual E. coli cells
From OpenWetWare
I started looking into this because I wanted to generate a strain in which I could control the level of induction from both a pTrc and a pBAD promoter in individual cells. After talking to a few people, I was able to sort out that these promoters both exhibit all-or-none activity in "wild-type" E. coli strains. I also discovered that it seems that not everyone knows about this (or at least the details of the process and how to get around it). Below is a summary of the information I was able to assemble on the topic. Hopefully, you know more than I do and can add more information.
What is an "all-or-none" promoter?
Inducing gene expression from an "all-or-none" promoter at subsaturating inducer concentrations results in a heterogeneous population of cells in which some are fully induced and others are induced very little, if at all. What is often confusing about this phenomenon in practice is that a population of cells will typically respond in a linear manner to increased concentration of inducer. What is really happening, though, is that more cells in the population are being turned on as inducer concentration is increased, but there are still some cells in the population that are not induced at all. The "on" phenotype is a result of inducer importers being turned on when a cell is exposed to the inducer, resulting in increased uptake of the inducer. At subsaturating inducer concentrations, there is not enough inducer to go around for all of the cells, so those that get their importer turned on first get all of the the inducer.

lac promoters
- Import of lactose (and IPTG) into E. coli is controlled by the lacY gene. If you knock this gene out, lac-type promoter induction is titratable at non-saturating lactose or IPTG concentrations in individual cells.
- Lactose metabolism is likely a problem in these cells (see PBAD section below), but this can be avoided by using IPTG, which is not metabolized.
- Error fetching PMID 12052093:
pBAD promoters
- Import of arabinose into cells is mediated by the araE gene. Induction of the arabinose transporter encoded by araE can be uncoupled from the endogenous PBAD promoter by deleting the chromosomal araE gene and replacing it with a plasmid-borne copy of araE under control of a constitutive promoter (1). However, this does not seem to be enough to allow for homogenous expression from PBAD promoters in a population of cells (2).
- At low concentrations of arabinose, degradation of the sugar within cells also effects the homogeneity of expression from PBAD promoters (2). Arabinose degradation is mediated by the araBAD genes. Strains lacking functional araE, araFGH (another transporter), and araBAD can be made to be responsive to arabinose for PBAD promoter induction (2). This is achieved by introduction of a mutant lacY gene. LacY A177C allows for downhill transport of arabinose, as well as maltose, palatinose, sucrose, and cellobiose (3), but does not actively transport these sugars (4). Lactose import is not affected in this mutant. So, PBAD promoters in cells lacking endogeneous arabinose importers and containing LacY A177C are linearly responsible to arabinose at the individual cell level.
- By the way, AraC is the repressor of the PBAD promoter. It is encoded on the pBAD vector series and is still present in the above-described strains.

Constructing a strain that allows homogenous, titratable induction of both lac and PBAD promoters
- From what I can tell, this is impossible to do with the current technology. To get homogenous, titratable induction of PBAD promoters, LacY A177C is necessary. To get homogenous, titratable induction of lac-type promoters, LacY cannot be present. How do we get around this?
- What about a strain that has araBAD, araE and araFGH deleted and lacY A177C under the control of a constitutive promoter? My understanding was that lacY is problematic because the upstream promoter is inducible via IPTG and thus cells which happen to have a few more copies of LacY initially will import more IPTG and thus make more LacY than cells with fewer copies of LacY. By eliminating the positive feedback, you should still be able to achieve titrable control.
- It seems like the best that can be done at this point is use of araE under the control of a constitutive promoter in a lacY— strain. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
- Jasonk 07:30, 14 June 2006 (EDT):You could consider using the pPRO Propionate-inducible induction system instead of pBAD.

Soreness in groin keeps Jones in DH role
BALTIMORE -- Adam Jones, dealing with soreness in his groin, started at designated hitter for the second straight day on Wednesday.
Jones, who went 0-for-4 on Tuesday, said that he isn't concerned and that he wants to be in the lineup and in center field.
"He's not happy with me again; he wants to play center field," manager Buck Showalter said. "We're getting ready to go to turf [in Toronto] for four days, and I just want to be careful. He said he felt good last night, with one exception. He's not happy, so that's a good thing."
Jones played in all 162 regular-season games in 2012 and hasn't missed a game this year, either.
In the ninth inning on Monday, Jones reached on an infield single and stole second base. But as Chris Davis struck out to end the inning, Jones showed signs of discomfort in his right leg. He bent over in apparent pain and tested the leg while walking gingerly to his post in center for the top of the 10th inning.
"I'm good, man. Just been running a lot," Jones said on Tuesday. "Just got to make sure my legs stay in shape because if they are not, playing center field would be a lot more difficult."
Jones demurred when asked on Tuesday if partial days off are good for him.
"Sort of, but I don't like DH'ing. I like to be in center field, so that's just me," he said. "But [Showalter] wants to keep our legs fresh, I'm sure. [Nick] Markakis DH'ed in Minnesota, and he just wants to keep our legs fresh. So he puts us at DH."

2008 SEMA Preview - It's Sema Time! - Front Page - January 2009
News & Fun Stuff
Funny thing about SEMA-it's one of the greatest automotive events on the planet, but you're not invited. For those not familiar with SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association), it's simply the largest aftermarket trade show in the world. Like most trade shows and conventions, you've got to be part of the "business community" to attend. Not to worry. The show ran from November 4 to 7, and Sport Truck was there. We'll bring you extensive show coverage in our March '09 issue.
Some SEMA facts: Over 2,000 manufacturers, vehicle modifiers, and parts makers plied their products to over 100,000 visitors at the annual fall gathering that consumes the entire Las Vegas Convention Center (nearly 2 million square feet). The 2008 show was full of introductions, including the '09 Ford F-150, Dodge Ram 1500, and HUMMER H3T. The imports also had a presence, but the domestics ruled Vegas this year. Until the March issue, here's a sampling of what was at the show:
Right now, Dodge is smoking. In the past couple of months, it introduced the new Challenger (which is already on sale, while the Camaro isn't) and the all-new Ram 1500.
Right now, Dodge is smoking. In the past couple of months, it introduced the new Challenger (which is already on sale, while the Camaro isn't) and the all-new Ram 1500.
Among the many customized Challengers and Rams that were spread across SEMA's three halls, we especially liked this Ram R/T at the Chrysler exhibit.
The starting point is a stock '09 Dodge Ram Sport with two-wheel drive painted Chrysler's classic code "B5" blue. According to Chrysler sources, the concept truck development team wanted this Ram to be "customer reproducible" using nothing more than a new Ram, a Mopar Accessories catalog, and a credit card. If you were to create the above yourself, individual charges on your plastic statement would include: a Mopar dual snorkel aluminum hood, cold-air intake, dual exhaust, and carbon-fiber accent stripes. Fuel gets to the tank after passing through a Challenger-inspired fuel filler.
General Motors
GM paid big bucks to get its '10 Camaro to be "The Official Car of SEMA 2008." We'll let other mags cover the return of GM's yet-to-go-on-sale pony car while we focus on trucks you can buy. Within GM's exhibit was a factory-customized Pontiac G8 Sport Truck and Hummer H3T.

While these trucks were standard SEMA hot, the Wildgator Silverado broke new ground. Stadium racer Bobby Brown plans on driving this Sierra to the events in which he competes. It's fully street-legal while being fully race-prepped. The 4-inch lift by CST keeps the suspension's stock geometry and steering. Boa-Tec Industries produces the fiberglass hood that covers a modified 6.0-liter. The trucks racing seats are crafted by Mastercraft.
10 Mostly Worthless Facts
1. Connecting rod bolts are the highest loaded fasteners in an entire engine.
1. Connecting rod bolts are the highest loaded fasteners in an entire engine.
2. The apex of a corner is the point where you go from coming into it, to where you are coming out of the corner. This is usually the spot where you begin accelerating out of the corner.
3. A radiator hydrometer tests the specific gravity of coolant/antifreeze. Weak concentrations allow freeze-up on cold days and also lower the boiling point. Excessive concentrations adversely impact the expansion rate of the coolant/water mix.
4. Your truck's rim offset determines the overall track width and frame clearance to your wheels.
5. A stroker crankshaft increases the travel of the pistons as they move from bottom dead center to top dead center of an engine cylinder.
6. Installing solid or mechanical roller lifters into your engine will require periodic adjustments of the lash between the valves and rocker arms.
7. Early GM truck engines featured a sediment bowl on the fuel pump or carburetor fuel line. The sediment screen trapped debris much like a modern fuel filter.
8. In 1929, Ford sold almost 78,000 Model A trucks.
9. Dry-paper air filter elements do a great job of filtering out debris but can clog quickly in dusty environments. That means you guys in Arizona and Texas.
10. Ford's first all-new vehicle built after World War II was the '48 F-series pickup.

With much sadness, Long Motor Corporation announces the passing of its founder and owner Leo William Long on August 19, 2008. Mr. Long has left a large footprint in the automotive industry.
With much sadness, Long Motor Corporation announces the passing of its founder and owner Leo William Long on August 19, 2008. Mr. Long has left a large footprint in the automotive industry.
Mr. Long was orphaned at a very young age and sent to Kansas City to live with his maternal aunt and uncle. Learning early in life that he would need to work hard for what he wanted, he had an excellent work ethic. Mr. Long joined the Boy Scouts and earned his God and Country and Eagle Scout award. After graduating from high school, serving six years in the United States Marine Corps, and graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Kansas, Mr. Long began his career as an engineer and then went on to become the Chief Engineer.
Always involved with cars as a hobby, he began selling car parts in 1975. In 1979, the business went under and he lost everything. He started over in 1981, founding Long Motor Corporation, dba Victoria British Ltd., LMC Truck, and Black Dragon Automotive. Mr. Long repaid all of his debts from his first business endeavor and went on to build the successful "machine." Mr. Long understood the importance of making the customer happy, creating catalogs to make it easy for car and truck enthusiasts to see what they need, having quality parts in stock, getting the orders shipped out quickly and accurately.
From nothing, Mr. Long built Victoria British Ltd., a direct marketing company offering parts for Austin Healey, MG, Triumph, and Sunbeam. Importing parts directly from England, he continually offered more parts for more models. Victoria British Ltd. became a British Motor Heritage Approved distributor in 1987.
In the spirit of "Keep 'em on the Road," Mr. Long added parts for Datsun Z cars in 1985. Shortly after, parts and accessories for the Mazda RX7 were added. This added thousands of part numbers to the catalogs and inventory. This is when Victoria British Ltd. moved to the present facility at 14600 W. 107th Street in Lenexa.
In 1993, the first Chevrolet Truck catalog was introduced under the LMC Truck name. Soon after, parts and accessories were offered for expanded years for fullsize Chevy Trucks 1947-1987. The next market developed was Ford Truck, covering fullsize Ford 1948-72 and Bronco 1966-77. With the addition of more, larger truck parts, LMC Truck moved into its current warehouse at 15450 W. 108th St. Ford truck catalogs were then expanded to cover 1973-79 and Bronco 78-79. Long Motor Corporation now creates over 30 illustrated, full line, parts and accessories catalogs for Chevy/GMC, Ford and Dodge Trucks and SUVs under the LMC Truck brand; British sports car catalogs with parts for MG, Triumph, Austin Healey, and Sunbeam under the Victoria British Ltd. brand, and the Datsun/Nissan Z and Mazda RX7 catalogs under the Black Dragon Automotive name. These catalogs are designed to make it easy for the do-it-yourselfer to make repairs or restore his vehicle. The catalog illustrations are detailed and in a schematic format so the customer can get the job done right.
LMC Truck has become the world's largest truck and SUV parts source for Chevrolet/GMC trucks and SUVs 1947-2006, Ford trucks and SUVs 1948-2008, and Dodge Trucks and SUVs 1994-2008, offering a broad range of reproduction, replacement, original equipment parts, and accessories.
In his words, "I have turned my dreams into an entrepreneurial success. I am only as strong as my people and as successful as my customers continued satisfaction. I am extremely proud of what has been created and accept that growth is elemental to the future of LMC." There are many people who have worked with Mr. Long and been employed by Long Motor Corporation for over 20 years, including his wife (Janet Long) and the president, Rebecca Hanrahan. Together they have built a strong foundation from which the company will continue to grow.
Mr. Long served on many boards of directors, including Brotherhood Bank and Trust, Citizens Bank & Trust, Derrick Thomas 3rd and Long Foundation, El Centro Community Centers, Guadalupe Community Centers, and Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
Over his lifetime, Mr. Long was awarded many honors: Businessman of the Year, Kansas, NRCC; Carlos F. Cortez Humanitarian of the Year; Chairman's Award, Entrepreneurial Excellence, NRCC; Deans Club, KU School of Business, University of Kansas; I. Pat Rios, Outstanding Community Service; El Dorado Corporation of the Year; National Endowment Award, Founders Circle, BSA; Kansas City Mayoral Proclamations; Kansas Business Merit Award, Kansas Department of Commerce; Latino Summer Fest; FBI Citizens Academy Graduate; NRA, Defender of the Second Amendment; NRA, Patriot of the Year, and the Whitney M. Young Jr. Service Award.
Mr. Long will long be remembered for his generosity. He donated the Fort Long Campsite at H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation, BSA; and the Leo William Long Sports Center in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. He sponsored Boy Scout Troop 106 in Kansas City, Missouri; Jarrette Aycock Society, KCRM; Leo William Long Graduate Scholarship Program; Silver Gloves National Championships and USA, United Students of Asia, UMKC. In addition he often lent a helping hand to many individuals and employees when they were in need.
He is survived by his wife Janet. In lieu of flowers, contributions are suggested to: Annual National Silver Gloves Tournament, c/o John Brown, 14865 W. 105th St, Lenexa, KS 66215. A memorial service was held Saturday, September 27 at Aristocrat Motors, Merriam, Kansas.
Say What?

The staff speaks and you listen. It's that simple. This month's question is:
Would You ever mount your tires with the raised white letters facing outward like everybody did in this '70s and '80s?.
Kevin: White letters? I'm not a big fan of NASCAR and I like my right turns. Anyway, I would opt for whitewalls because they have more style. If I had to choose between letters or none, I would ultimately choose to hide the lettering.
Calin: It depends on the style of the truck. If I was building something that wasn't ultralow and had a classic paint scheme, then I might. If I was building something extreme with wild paint then it would be black letters out. I put the white letters out on my C10 project, but that was after I spent hours grinding off the other crap that was molded on the sidewall.
Mike: Today I'll say yes. But I reserve the right to say no later on.
Andy: I would have to agree with Calin and say that it all depends on the kind of look you're trying to achieve. For that classic muscle-car style, the white letters probably should go on the outside, but even then sometimes the white letters on the inside may look better. My personal taste though is to keep the black facing out. It just looks cleaner in my opinion. I guess I'm not a huge NASCAR fan after all.

CONCORD — A 14-year-old boy was badly injured after he was struck by a car while walking to basketball practice Monday afternoon in North Concord.
The boy was crossing Solano Way at Grant street about 1:25 p.m. when he was struck by a Toyota Scion xA sedan, police said. A preliminary investigation suggests the boy was in the crosswalk at the time, Lt. Bill Roche said. The woman driving the car stopped at the scene and cooperated with officers.
An ambulance took the boy to John Muir Medical Center in Concord, but he was later transferred to Children's Hospital in Oakland with major internal injuries, police said. An update on his condition was not available late Monday.
The teen had just left his house and was headed to his team practice when he was hit, the boy's father told police. Police did not disclose where the boy went to school.
Shawna Compas, a clerk at a nearby Bonfare market, ran out to the street after a customer told her about the crash.
"I just saw him, the little boy, laying there lifeless," she said, still shaking.
The incident is under investigation, including whether drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash, police said. The posted speed limit in the area is 30 mph.
Solano Way was closed at Grant Street for several hours after the crash.

Criterion Collection Releases ALL THAT JAZZ Restoration Preview
Celebrated and acclaimed movie musical masterpiece ALL THAT JAZZ is set to be released for the first time on Blu-ray in a new Criterion Collection edition this week and a first look at the legendary opening sequence as seen on the new remastered iteration of the film is now available to view.
The official description of ALL THAT JAZZ is as follows: "The preternaturally gifted director and choreographer Bob Fosse turned the camera on his own life for this madly imaginative, self-excoriating musical masterpiece. Roy Scheider gives the performance of his career as Joe Gideon, whose exhausting work schedule-mounting a Broadway production by day and editing his latest movie at night-and routine of amphetamines, booze, and sex are putting his health at serious risk. Fosse burrows into Gideon's (and his own) mind, rendering his interior world as phantasmagoric spectacle. Assembled with visionary editing that makes dance come alive on-screen as never before, and overflowing with sublime footwork by the likes of Ben Vereen, Leland Palmer, and the awesomely leggy Ann Reinking, All That Jazz pushes the musical genre to personal depths and virtuosic aesthetic heights."
Additionally, bonus features for the ALL THAT JAZZ Blu-ray include:
•New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed 3.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray
•Two audio commentaries: a feature-length one with editor Alan Heim and a scene-specific one with actor Roy Scheider
•Razzle-Dazzle, a new video essay on the film by critic Matt Zoller Seitz
•Episode from 1980 of the television talk show Tomorrow, featuring director Bob Fosse and choreographer Agnes de Mille
•New interview with Heim
•New interview with Fosse biographer Sam Wasson
•Interview excerpts and footage from the set, featuring Fosse and Scheider
•Portrait of a Choreographer, a 2007 documentary on Fosse
