• Moda Charm Pack Butterfly Fling by Me and My Sisters
• 1 yard coordinating print sashing & borders #22081=14 Yolk Yellow in Flight
• Backing 2 1/2 yards light green or other print
• binding 1/2 yard #22085-11 Pretty Pink Squiggle Flys
• Batting 54X45
• basic quilting supplies
Choose 36 charms from the charm pack. I placed 4-5 charms in each stack.
It took me about 2 hours to sew this quilt top, it's THAT simple.
Now my quilt top will be off to my quilter…or you could finish it like the one below. I layered and quilted it with straight lines to finish it for my daughters birth about 2 years ago. With the Butterfly Fling fabric I'd really like an overall flowery or butterfly meander for quilting. The fabric and my mood determine that. My daughters quilt below is made with a Moda charm pack "Apron Strings". I blogged it here.

LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics, the global leader in consumer smartphones, is planning two major thrusts in 2013: bulking up mobile content and moving faster into the corporate market dominated by Research in Motion.
The South Korean electronics company is investing in devices that enterprise users like corporations will endorse, with a higher level of security and reliability than general users need. In doing so, Samsung is capitalizing on doubts about the longevity of the BlackBerry as its Canadian maker struggles to revive growth.
Samsung's corporate market ambitions have advanced as the Galaxy SIII, its popular flagship smartphone, won the requisite security certifications from companies, said Kevin Packingham, chief product officer for Samsung Mobile USA.
As RIM prepares to launch its next-generation BlackBerry 10 this quarter, the company's future remains shaky. Corporate technology officers have begun to explore other smartphones, such as those by Apple Inc or Samsung.
"The enterprise space has suddenly become wide open. The RIM problems certainly fueled a lot of what the CIOs are going through, which is they want to get away from a lot of the proprietary solutions," Packingham said in an interview at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. "They want something that integrates what they are doing with their IT systems. Samsung is investing in that area."
"It's been a focus for a long time but the products have evolved now that we can really take advantage of that," he added. "We knew we had to build more tech devices to successfully enter the enterprise market. What really turned that needle was that we had the power of the GS3."
Samsung in 2012 overtook Apple as the world's largest maker of smartphones, with a vastly larger selection of cellphones that attacked different price points and proved popular in emerging markets.
German business software maker SAP provides employees with Samsung's Galaxy S III, the larger Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Tab, SAP Chief Information Officer Oliver Bussmann said in an interview.
"The one clear trend in enterprise is the shift away from one device to multiple devices," said Bussman, who makes 10 devices available to SAP employees for official use. The list includes Apple's iPhone and iPad, Nokia Lumia and RIM's Blackberry.
"Because of the fragmentation of the Android software, we decided to go with just one Android company and we went with Samsung," he added.
Now, the Korean hardware specialist is beefing up its software - an area in which it has lagged arch-enemy Apple, which revolutionized the mobile phone from 2007 with its content-rich, developer-led iPhone ecosystem.
Packingham sees an area ripe for innovation - combining the mobile phone with Samsung's strength, the TV, which has barely evolved in the past decade.
Still, the U.S.-based executive remained cagey about Samsung's plans for content and enterprise.
"You are going to see from content services, we'll start to integrate what's happening on the big screen, what's happening on the tablet," he said.
"We know now that people like to explore content that they are watching on TV while they have a tablet in their lap, and that's going to be a big theme for this year."

What matters to affluent investors worldwide?How do their views differ from region to region — and from country to country? Do millennial investors truly view the world differently? For insight, see highlights below from our 4th annual survey — asking affluent investors in 19 countries about their current investments and future opportunities.
A quantitative online survey methodology was used to conduct the study, with a total of 5,370 high-net worth investors across 19 markets completing the questionnare.
|Sample size
|United States
|Europe (UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden)
|N = 1,600 (200 per market)
|Asia (Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, China, South Korea)
|N = 1,150 (150-200 per market)
|Latin America (Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Colombia)
|N = 800 (200 per market)
Respondents had to meet the following screening criteria:
Field work for the survey was conducted between December 3, 2015 and January 8, 2016. In each market, sample included roughly equal numbers of respondents for the $200K-$999K group and $1M+ group; the data was then weighted to be representative of the $200K-$999K and $1M+ household total investable assets populations. Global investor figures are composites based on weighted average of country specific findings; the weighting is by relative incidence of qualified investors in each country. Note: Because of rounding, percentages may not add up to 100%.
The research was conducted by Northstar Research Partners, an independent global marketing research firm with offices in New York, Atlanta, Toronto, London and Jakarta (www.northstarhub.com). Northstar conducts research across a wide range of industry sectors and is a recognized leader in financial services marketing research.
The main sample for comparisons to last year's data includes only high net worth investors aged 40-75, with Millennial data providing an additional data set that serves as a supplement to this year's study.
In retirement questions (G12 and G13) that asked for a numeric amount needed to enjoy retirement, respondents were asked to give a figure in their home currency, which was later converted to US dollars for comparison purposes. Medians were used to report averages in order to lessen the impact of extremely high answers on the data.
All investments involve risk, including possible loss of principal.
The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amounts originally invested, and can be affected by changes in interest rates, in exchange rates, general market conditions, political, social and economic developments and other variable factors. Investment involves risks including but not limited to, possible delays in payments and lossof income or capital. Neither Legg Mason nor any of its affiliates guarantees any rate of return or the return of capital invested.
Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. Fixed-income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks; and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls.
International investments are subject to special risks including currency fluctuations, social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
Commodities and currencies contain heightened risk that include market, political, regulatory, and natural conditions and may not be suitable for all investors.

Fund Objective The aim is to provide you with a regular income while increasing the value of your investment over the long-term. The fund is actively managed and invests in a mixture of other collective investment schemes, (including investment funds which have an objective similar to that of the fund, investment trusts and investment companies), tradable debt (bonds), shares, property, cash, bank deposits and money market instruments (a range of short-term financial products which can be easily bought and sold on money markets). The fund invests in assets worldwide with no restriction to any particular sector, industry, geographic location or investment type. The fund may buy investments directly or may buy shares in other investment products which themselves buy these investments or may invest through the use of structured products (investments which provide a return linked to the performance of an underlying investment). The fund may use financial contracts (derivatives) to help achieve its aim and to manage risk, reduce costs and improve results.

Fund versus Morningstar Category
The value of the fund and the income from it can go down as well as up so you may get back less than you invested. If your fund invests in overseas markets, changes in currency exchange rates may affect the value of your investment. If your fund invests in small and emerging markets, these can be more volatile than other more developed markets. Past performance is not a guide to future returns.
For funds that invest in bonds, please be aware that the price of bonds is influenced by movements in interest rates, changes in the credit rating of bond issuers, and other factors such as inflation and market dynamics. In general, as interest rates rise the price of a bond will fall. The risk of default is based on the issuer's ability to make interest payments and to repay the loan at maturity. Default risk may therefore vary between different government issuers as well as between different corporate issuers.
Some of the performance and risk data presented may start before the share class was launched. If so, the data prior to the launch date of the share class is based on the fund or share class that has similar or higher charges, in order to provide an indication of longer term performance and risk. Please refer to the launch date and performance start date in the fund factsheet to determine whether the data has been extended.Past Performance and Risk & Volatility figures are presented in British Pounds Sterling (GBP). Fund returns are calculated on a Nav to Nav or Bid to Bid basis with income reinvested either after tax (for UK-domiciled funds) or gross of tax (for offshore funds). Performance figures include the effect of the OCF/TER. To cover distribution costs a separate service fee is now also charged on most funds, which is not included in the past performance figures. Consequently the past performance of the fund may be less than that shown on the chart due to the effect of the service fee.

The actress is one of Hollywood's most sought-after young talents, and is currently promoting her films Wind River and Ingrid Goes West.
Elizabeth recently moved into a house on her own, and in spite of her stardom, she still has to deal with everyday problems such as a vermin infestation.
"They fight. They make a lot of noises in the attic and I hear it and (at first) I thought it was maybe just a creature jumping on my roof," she shared during an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Wednesday night (09Aug17).
But the 28-year-old, who is the sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, realised she had a problem with rats after her fruit began to disappear.
"Then, in the morning, a banana was scraped out. Because my sister was over the day before, I was thinking, 'Did she eat a banana with a fork and then not throw the banana away?' I couldn't imagine that a rat decided to skillfully eat one banana.
"So, then the next night I left the bananas again, and it happened again, and then the third night I took away all the fruit, and they got into my shallots and garlic and took it out of the bowl and ate it on the stove top."
Elizabeth has employed a pest controller named Ernie to sort the issue, but admits that he's become like her "roommate" because of her "constant" problems.
"I hope Ernie sees this one day because he and I hang out a lot," she laughed.

Pinkerton Academy retains Mack Plaque in sports rivalry
For a 13th straight year, the Mack Plaque resides at Pinkerton Academy.
Capped by the football team's 35-14 victory on Saturday night in Derry, the Astros easily retained the plaque in their annual autumn sports competition with neighboring rival Londonderry High. On Saturday in Derry, Pinkerton scored wins in boys' and girls' soccer, field hockey, volleyball and football. The previous Saturday, the Astros' cross-country teams scored better than Londonderry's in both the boys' and girls' portions of an invitational meet in Nashua.
Londonderry's only win came Friday in golf (210-212).
Field hockey
Pinkerton 2, Londonderry 1 (OT)
Kaylie DeCosmo's goal midway through the overtime period was the winner for the Astros (7-1). Londonderry's Tiana Federico scored the only goal of the first half and Erin Johnson tied it in the second. The Lancers are 3-4-2.
Pinkerton 3, Londonderry 0
The Astros swept, by scores of 25-19, 32-30 and 25-22. For PA (4-3), Elizabeth Hicks and Olivia Mathieu had 11 service points apiece, while Mathieu notched nine kills.
For Londonderry (3-6), Madison Milton and Marisak Feenstra notched 11 and six kills, respectively. Maggie Connors led the Lancers in blocks (five), Emily Georgakopoulos paced LHS in assists (10) and Taylor Collins scored 10 points on serves.
Boys' soccer
Pinkerton 1, Londonderry 0 (OT):
Tommy Martin scored on a penalty kick at the 86-minute mark. Playing well for the Astros were Tim Wood, Zach Bell, Kyle Hicks and Sean Muller. Eric Werner was forced to make one save for the shutout, while Bobby Krause made eight for LHS.
Pinkerton improved to 6-2 and its next match will present a challege: unbeaten Hanover (9-0-0) comes to Derry on Thursday.
Londonderry dropped to 3-5-1.
Girls' soccer
Pinkerton 1, Londonderry 0
KatyAnn Grochmal's goal in the 62nd minute enabled the Astros to stay unbeaten (8-0-0). Sami Mitchell made eight saves to record the shutout, while Londonderry's Merissa Brousseau stopped five shots.
Pinkerton's next game is Thursday at home against Exeter, which also brings a perfect (7-0-0) record into the new week.
Londonderry dropped to 5-4-1.

Petition in Support of Yuna Kim Gets Record Signings
By Will Davies
An online petition calling for an investigation into the scoring of the women's figure skating competition at the Winter Olympics attracted more than 1.2 million signatures within about 12 hours of Yuna Kim's shock silver medal.
The petitioner, using the name Justice Seeker, is unhappy that the judges in Sochi awarded the gold medal to 17-year-old Russian Adelina Sotnikova. She got more points than Kim, despite the 23-year-old South Korean star skating what has been described as a flawless routine.
The petition, addressed to the International Skating Union headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, has struck a chord. "Open Investigation into Judging Decisions of Women's Figure Skating and Demand Rejudgement (sic) at the Sochi Olympics," it says. Friday afternoon in Asia, it was attracting roughly 15,000 signatures every 10 minutes.
Change.org, the website where the petition is filed, says 700,000 people signed the petition within six hours. About 90% of signatures were from people inside South Korea, it said.
"I can't tell you if the petition will trigger an ISU investigation – it will depend on whether the ISU responds to public pressure," Change.org Communications Director Tony Robertson said.
An ISU spokesperson couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
If the petition keeps attracting signatures at this rate, by the weekend it will cross the number of signatures to a Change.org petition issued by Trayvon Martin's parents asking police officials and members of the judiciary to investigate the teenager's death and prosecute George Zimmerman.
That petition got 2.28 million signatures, the second-biggest response to a petition on the website, behind one addressed to Google and YouTube related to the private recording of public broadcasts, which garnered 4.36 million signatures.
Kim held a narrow lead after Wednesday's short program, but she was unable to match Sotnikova's score in the free program Thursday. The Russian teen scored 149.95 points in her free program, while Kim, who skated last, scored 144.19 points.
Nine judges score Olympic skating events, and the scoring is anonymous. The highest and lowest scores are dropped, and the skater's score is calculated by averaging the remaining seven scores.
Many observers had expected Kim to win a second Olympic gold following her triumph in Vancouver 2010. She was sanguine after collecting silver this time.
"A gold medal wasn't really important to me and being able to perform in the Olympics is meaningful enough," she said. "I made no mistake today and am satisfied."
Many others aren't satisfied though, judging by the pace that names are getting added to that petition. Robertson said it is the fastest-growing petition Change.org has ever had.

Thomas Hendrix letters to Margaret Kennedy, 1945-1947 | Purdue University Libraries, Archives and Special Collections
Extent: 0.1 Cubic feet
Predominant Dates: 1945-1946
Subjects (links to similar collections)
Forms of Material (links to similar genres)
Scope and Contents: The Thomas Hendrix letters to Margaret Kennedy (1945-1947, 0.1 cubic feet) document the correspondence from Hendrix to Kennedy while Hendrix was a student and Navy V-12 member at Purdue University. The letters describe Hendrix's extracurricular activities and studies at Purdue, as well as his involvement in the V-12 program. In the only letter from 1947, Hendrix alludes to an injury he sustained in an accident on campus, likely the bleacher collapse of February 1947. In addition to the letters from Hendrix, there is one letter from an individual identified only as Ray to Kennedy that was added to one of the envelopes. This collection might be useful for researchers interested in the World War II era at Purdue, the Navy V-12 program, correspondence and courtship in the 1940s, and student life in the same era.

Project Description
Researchers at McGill University worked to develop a CO2 curing process for the precast concrete industry that can utilize CO2 in place of steam as a reactant to accelerate strength gain, reduce energy consumption, and improve the durability of precast concrete products. Carbon dioxide curing of concrete is considered a CO2 storage process. As gaseous CO2 is converted to thermodynamically stable calcium carbonate, the CO2 becomes embedded in calcium silicate hydrate. Concrete masonry blocks and fiber-cement panels are ideal candidate building products for carbon storage, as they are mass-produced and conventionally cured with steam. In order to make the process economically feasible, self-concentrating absorption technology was studied to produce low cost CO2 for concrete curing. The compact design of the CO2 chamber and low cost carbon capture technology should result in a net process cost of less than $10 per ton of CO2 stored. The proposed research examined the possibility of achieving a cost-effective, high-performance concrete manufacturing process through a prototype production using specially designed chambers, called CO2 claves, to replace steam kilns and implement forced-diffusion technology to maximize carbon uptake at minimal process costs.
Project Benefits
This project focused on the development of a precast concrete curing process that uses CO2 as a reactant. Commercial uses for this process will store CO2 with a net reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically, this project determined the ability of CO2 to accelerate strength gain, improve durability, and reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by designing and testing carbonated concrete blocks and fiber-cement panels and performing short-term and long-term evaluation of carbonated products.

HAMPTON, Ga. – September 21, 2009 – The extreme weather cooperated just long enough for the second annual State Farm-Laker Invitational to get its first round in on Monday. And after the opening round, the two highest ranked teams in Division II are deadlocked at the top.
Top-ranked Georgia College and second-ranked Barry share the lead after Monday's first round of the State Farm-Laker Invitational at Crystal Lake Golf and Country Club, hosted by Clayton State. The first day was originally scheduled for two rounds (36 holes), but the second round was called early due to heavy rains. The tournament will be shortened to 36 holes, with the second round set for Tuesday at Crystal Lake.
Both Georgia College and Barry fired a 7-under par 281, and the two teams staked themselves to a three-stroke lead over 24th-ranked Newberry.
Third-ranked Columbus State and Lander are tied for fourth at even-par 288, followed closely by fourth-ranked Lynn in sixth with a 289. Carson-Newman, Queens and UNC Pembroke are each tied for seventh at 291, while 16th-ranked Clayton State, seventh-ranked Florida Southern and Coker are each tied for 10th at 292.
Rounding out the team scoring included Georgia Southwestern and Montevallo tied for 13th at 293, followed by 10th-ranked USC Aiken in 15th at 294. West Georgia rounds out the 16-team field with a 300.
Individually, Newberry's Daniel Stanley took the lead after the first round with a 6-under 66, tying the tournament single-round low score. Stanley holds a one-stroke lead over Barry's Chris Carlin, a two-stroke lead over Montevallo's Jon Henderson and a three-stroke lead over Carson-Newman's Brad Robinson, Coker's Christopher Marsh, Lander's Charlie Hoyle, Georgia College's Joe Young, Newberry's Ben Lown and Barry's Victor Billskoog.

Doc Watson, Legendary Folk Guitarist, Dead At 89
Doc Watson, who combined folk, bluegrass, blues and jazz guitar into a style all his own, passed away today (May 29) at the age of 89 in Winston-Salem, N.C. Last week, he had been hospitalized following a fall at his house that required colon surgery.
Watson was influential to generations of musicians who have looked to America's folk tradition for inspiration. "To lose Earl Scruggs, Levon Helm and Doc Watson in one year is just too, too much," Rosanne Cash tweeted upon hearing the news.
Born in Deep Gap, N.C. in 1923, Arthel Lane Watson lost his sight before his first birthday due to an eye infection that was never treated. To help him cope with being blind and impoverished, at the age of 11, his father gave him a homemade banjo made out of the skin of a dead cat.
Watson soon switched to the guitar and began playing on street corners and local contests. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest guitar players ever, popularizing the style of play known as "crosspicking," which brought the flashy runs traditionally associated with the banjo to the acoustic guitar. But he was also adept at fingerpicking, as the videos below demonstrate.
The folk boom of the early-1960s made a star out of Watson, who got his nickname early in his career when a radio announcer told a crowd that he needed a nickname. Someone suggested "Doc" and the name stuck. In 1964, began performing and recording with his son, Merle, who tragically died in a tractor accident on the family farm in 1985. Perhaps his greatest commercial success came when he appeared on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's 1972 album, 'Will the Circle Be Unbroken,' which paired the folk-country-rock band with many of their influences.
Watson won eight Grammy Awards throughout his career, including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004. He recieved the National Medal of Arts from President Bill Clinton in 1997.

PENNSVILLE, N.J. (AP) — The father of the young man suspected of carrying out a fatal shooting at Los Angeles International Airport called his local police chief around the time of the shooting to report that his son had sent a suicidal text message to a sibling and he needed to find him, a New Jersey police chief said.
Paul Ciancia, the owner of an auto-body shop in southern New Jersey and father of the 23-year-old suspect of the same name, called Pennsville Police Chief Allen Cummings in the early afternoon to tell him one of his children had received a text message from the younger Ciancia "in reference to him taking his own life," the chief told The Associated Press.
Across the country and around the same time Friday, authorities say, his son was shooting his way past a security checkpoint at the airport with a semi-automatic rifle, killing a security officer and wounding other people. Ciancia was injured in a shootout and taken into custody, police said.
A motive wasn't clear, but Ciancia was wearing fatigues and carrying a bag containing a handwritten note that said he "wanted to kill TSA and pigs," according to a law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Cummings said his police department in Pennsville, N.J., had never had dealings with the younger Ciancia, and neighbors in the working-class city of about 14,000 across the broad Delaware River from Wilmington, Del., didn't have a clue anything might have been wrong.
"He was never weird toward me. He never gave me any weird vibes," said 17-year-old neighbor Josh Pagan, adding that in the 10 years he has lived across the street from the Ciancia family, "they've been nothing but nice to us."
The suspect's father has been involved with Pennsville's Fraternal Order of Police, said Pagan's father, Orlando, a lieutenant in nearby Penns Grove. He didn't provide details on his involvement.
The suspect graduated in 2008 from Salesianum School, an all-boys Roman Catholic school in Wilmington, the school said.
Outside the father's home Friday in Pennsville, a police cruiser blocked the long driveway. Phone calls weren't answered, and efforts to reach siblings were also unsuccessful.
After getting the call from Ciancia's father, Chief Cummings reached out to Los Angeles police, who sent a patrol car to Ciancia's apartment, Cummings said. It wasn't clear whether the police visited before, during or after the airport shooting.
"Basically, there were two roommates there," Cummings said. "They said, 'We saw him yesterday and he was fine.'"
He told Ciancia's father that because of his son's age, he couldn't take a missing persons report.
Rubinkam reported from Pennsylvania. Contributing to this report were Associated Press writers Tami Abdollah in Los Angeles, Geoff Mulvihill in Haddonfield, N.J., and AP news researcher Rhonda Shafner in New York.

Reviewed By John L (YATAHEY, NM) Reviewed for a 2006 Dodge Durango —3/14/2017 3:40 PM
Bought the halo rings for an 06 Durango. The rings have 3m tape on the backside, but for my application they were useless. There wasn't a flat surface to mount the rings using the 3m tape. Ended up having to epoxy the the rings to the chrome housing. The rings have a small connector that comes apart near the inline led driver. It was difficult to re-connect the wires outside of the housing because the wire was a bit short where the connectors meet. Overall I am satisfied with the final product.

An African American is being inaugurated President on Martin Luther King Day. Americans should never be complacent about that. This President certainly isn't going to have it easy as the first fight of the year is the debt ceiling where the GOP has fired the first shot for a three-month extension. We are not going to get into a blow by blow, but we are going to follow whether the bears play volleyball on each twist and turn.
There's been a lot of noise coming out of the gold market as people seem to think it's set to rally. I'm not as sure as every turn higher is greeted with hope and optimism. A bull would prefer a stealth move. It's off to a decent start up but has serious resistance to about $1,720 and it's not a given that it will break through. The Greenback is also attempting a breakthrough, so both of them are not likely to do it. So if gold and the dollar are in a stalemate, which is going to play tiebreaker?
Perhaps the chart of the week comes from Europe. As we know the European indexes have been leading to the upside and given us an important violation of the October time windows, which has led to breakthrough for not only the Russell 2000 but last week the SPX that is at a post-financial crash high. It's an important signpost if you are considering the new secular bull market case. But Germany had a tough week. Overall, Europe looks decent except for Germany, which for whatever reason is flat and it has made some people nervous. The economy shrank by 0.5% after a meager gain of 0.7% the quarter before, which means GDP for the whole year was just 0.7%. But the DAX was flat while the FTSE and CAC made new highs. The week started out good, so we can expect more of the same over here. While we are looking at numbers here's what's happening on our side of the pond.
Consumer sentiment came in at 71.3 as opposed to 72.9 from the month before; this is the lowest reading in a year. The Philly Fed numbers for the Mid-Atlantic region really dropped from 4.6 to -5.8. But the market didn't get hit. These are the lousiest numbers we've had in a while but the stock market doesn't represent it. The reason for these numbers is blamed on the Fiscal Cliff negotiations, which hampered confidence.
And these markets are at new highs? Folks, I have to tell you that if these markets are at new highs with such terrible numbers that could only mean one of two things. First, it means we are climbing a wall of worry and the better economic times are six months out because the market is an economic leading indicator. However, what concerns me is the paltry German number after a good market year. True, we are a year out of an extreme crisis and these numbers reflect the pullback in April and May, not to mention the 4th quarter of 2011. But one would think the numbers should be better. So the United States and Europe each have different issues but similar results when it comes to economic numbers.

Revision as of 07:54, 31 March 2013 by Janet B. Matsen (talk | contribs) (→Preparing Electrocompetent Cells (in progress))
Back to Protocols
- Electroporation is chosen when you need higher efficiency of transformation, or when you want to try transforming multiple plasmids at once.
- It is often difficult to get multiple plasmids in at once.
Preparing Electrocompetent Cells (in progress)
- More details are found here Competent Cell Preparation but the basic idea is as follows:
- Grow cells in LB (+ antibiotics, often)
- Wash 2 times with sterile, ice-cold 10% glycerol
- Resuspend in 10% glycerol
- Concentrate up to 500 times relative to culture volume.
- Aliquot into sterilized eppendorf tubes
- Flash freeze with liquid N2 and store at -80oC
Preparing Cuvettes
Chosing Cuvettes
- We bought these: these (7/24/2012) but are likely to switch to these.
- Originally, we wanted autoclavable cuvettes, however, it seems that ethanol sterilization is effective.
Sterilizing cuvettes for reuse
The cuvettes should be washed for reuse. If washed properly, they can be reused up to 10 times. For each cuvette, do the following while waiting for the cells to recover:
- Squirt 95% ethanol to fill cuvette more than halfway. Add cap and invert cuvette a few times to disinfect it. Pour out in waste receptacle.
- Wash cuvette three times with DI H2O using squeeze bottle and dump water into sink.
- Squirt 95% ethanol in the cuvette, add the cap, and let it sit for an hour or overnight.
- Pour out ethanol and place in UV hood to dry.
- Store in freezer for next use
It seems that the cuvettes rust when left to soak in solution, increasing their rate of arcing. Note: most cuvettes are made from plastic that will melt. Do not autoclave.
- Don't leave them in a bleach solution. Don't leave them in water. They will rust, increasing the probability of arcing.
How much DNA do I use?
- Use 1 uL of Gibson assembly
- If you want to use more, do a PCR cleanup to remove salts, etc.
- plasmid miniprep: 100 pg (1/2 uL or less is usually sufficient)
- multiple plasmids at once: 5 ng each.
- We haven't had much success with this yet.
Transformig E. coli
- Add 1-10 μL of DNA source (see guide above) to the electrocompetent cells, swirl the tip gently in the culture to mix, and incubate on ice block for one minute.
- Working quickly, transfer the contents of the aliquot into the center of the gap of an ice-cold electrocuvette from the freezer, and then place the electrocuvette in the electroporator. Check that the electroporator is set to deliver 1.8 kV, and then press both of the orange buttons to deliver a pulse. The display will show "Ch 9" and eventually beep; release buttons when you hear this beep.
- Rob Egbert & the Klavins lab use 1.25 kV
- Again, working quickly, remove the electrocuvette from the electroporator and add 1/2 - 1 mL of room-temperature LB to it, pipetting up and down several times to extract the cells from the 1 mm gap.
- Transfer entire contents of electrocuvette back to the tube.
- Check and record the discharge time constant (units are in milliseconds).
- 4-5 seconds is good.
- Incubate tube transformed cells at 37°C for 30-60 minutes.
- Klavins lab does 30 - 45 min; our lab usually does 45 - 60 min.
- put plate in 37°C incubator with agar side up overnight
Alternate transformation protocol: when your DNA concentration is LOW
From Rob Egbert/Klavins Lab: Transformation of diluted competent cell aliquots for low-efficiency constructs
- This protocol can be necessary when performing oligo assembly or other high-complexity Gibson assembly reactions. The general idea is to purify the product of the Gibson assembly reaction using a PCR purification column, which removes enzymes and salts, and to transform the purified product in high volume (5 to 10 uL) to diluted cell aliquots.
- PCR Purification of Gibson assembly reaction
- Follow PCR purification protocol to purify the Gibson assembly reaction. Elute in 30 uL molecular grade H2O.
- Dilute competent cell stock
- Dilute the 40 uL competent cell aliquot to 160 uL by adding 120 uL ice-cold water, then split the culture into four tubes (40 uL each). It is often easiest to work with 8- or 12-well strip tubes with the aluminum blocks to keep the cells cold and accessible. Add 5-10 uL source DNA from the PCR purification.
- Transformation
- Transform each diluted cell aliquot in the electroporator. Resuspend each cell aliquot in 250 uL LB and incubate at an appropriate temperature for the cell strain (often 37 C). Spread all 250 uL on an appropriate selective LB agar plate using sterile glass beads.
- settings for E. Coli recommended by BioRad customer support:
- brown-caped 1 mm gap tubes:
- 1.8 kV, 200 Ohms, 25 uF.
- green-capped 2 mm cuvette: (in case you don't have brown cuvettes ready)
- 2.5 to 3.0 KV, 200 Ohms, 25 uF
- brown-caped 1 mm gap tubes:
- Alternately, add ~950 uL ice cold SOC media to cuvette after shocking
- Optional: after shocking, chill sample on ice for 2 mins to permit the cells to recover.
- Optional: plate transformation onto prewarmed LB-agar plate supplemented with appropriate antibiotic. I generally plate 200μL but appropriate plating volume depends on efficiency of the transformation.
- Leave remaining SOC-cell mixture on the benchtop overnight.
- If you don't have any transformants, plate the rest of the transformation in the morning.
- Note: you will usually get plenty of colonies by using TB (not SOC media, not chilling cuvettes, not icing sample after applying voltage, not pre-warming plates.
- When choosing the # of vials and cuvettes, you can include 2 vials for two negative controls (one with no DNA added, and another with only cut vector added).
- Cuvette types: (see pic on right)
- background with references
- BioRad Movie about electroporation. Though it is made for a different machine than we have, the principles are applicable.

?'s re installing inserts in 12-6 SUP ....
I need to have a shoulder strap on my 12-6 *board sup and my plan is to install a few inserts to attach the strap to. a friend with lots of old windsurf stuff gave me a few of the inserts you see in the pix below.
my plan is to drill a hole, fill it 1/2 up with hardware-store-type 2 part 20-minute epoxy mixed with bits of fiberglass, and shove the insert in. oops-- the first thing i hope i do is tape off the hole so when the epoxy oozes out, it oozes onto the tape and not the board.
anyone see any flaws in my plan? hardware-store epoxy good enuf, do you think? and, what about the inserts themselves, think they'll stay stuck in the board okay? anything else i need to know?

What is wrong with just looping some straps round the board and fixing your shoulder strap to that?

it's a good idea but in my situation it doesn't work that well. to get to the water i am going down a very tricky, steep, rock-and-boulder strewn hill. more like a cliff. so i need to get the board as high on my shoulder as i can, to work my way around the rocks. with a sling it'd hang too low. and under my arm is too low too.

Hi flipper,
Any time you cut in a board, it's prudent to laminate over affected area with fiberglass or carbon cloth. Epoxy, even when it includes some chopped up fiberglass cloth, just doesn't offer sufficient strength. The lamination step integrates everything into the structure of the board, and it serves to provide the necessary reinforcement outside the boundary of the inserts, especially if the area will see stress of any kind. Given the fact that the weight of the board will balance and leverage off any inserts you install, quite a bit of concentrated stress will be present.
Also, if I were you, I would go for larger, more robust inserts. I would recommend checking out the molded inserts that Chinook makes for footstraps (view at Fiberglass Supply's website). It's important to establish a larger bearing surface that will better integrate with the surface structure of the board (through the use of the fiberglass/carbon cloth), as the internal foam core doesn't offer much support to speak of.

In answer to your question about cure rates, check out the data shown for West Systems epoxy at the following location. You have quite a few options.
Another thing worthy of mention working with catalytic materials is the temperature you will be working at. It's super important to accurately measure portions of resin and hardener within the working temperature constraints.

thanks again. i don't own a router so i'm not going to go with the rectangular chinook insert but with the 1" round one instead and drill 2 holes in it. and put 2 maybe 3 layers of glass over it. that ought to do the trick, right?
as far as cure rates go, given all the options, could you suggest an optimum rate in order to avoid melting the foam?
i'd read elsewhere that one way to go about it is to use a 20 minute epoxy but let it go off for a while before drooling it into the hole, thereby reducing some of the heat. i also read that it's extremely important to keep the hole as snug as possible so that the resin doesn't pool and overheat anywhere.

One of the most important things to understand working with epoxy is that it really doesn't have very much structural strength in itself, unless it's combined with a good design and materials that introduce the needed structural properties (like fiberglass, carbon or kevlar).
Based on my experience, I would recommend trying to keep the tolerances between the cavity and the insert component relatively tight. However, to ensure a super robustness, I would recommend an assembly of hard foam and the insert, and than installing the completed assembly into the board. Also, in going this way, you increase the size of the integrated bearing surface, both internally in the foam and across the area of the lamination. If you have a Dremel tool, you can easily custom a cavity to suit. A router is truly unnecessary, as the cavity area will be filled and buried under the lamination structure, so any minor tolerance variations become a moot point visually.
As far as cure rates, the best choice lies in the way that you go. If a larger volume of epoxy is used, particularly if casting a larger area with just epoxy, go with the slowest cure. If things are done within specification (the mixture and temperature), you will achieve the desired result over time. Catalytic materials are very predictable, keeping in mind the contraints in the use process.
I didn't mention it earlier, but it important not to work the material beyond the recommended working time. This is quite important, as things can quickly go off the map on your project if you exceed the viable timeframe recommended. Only do as much work as reasonable in a single session. A cavalier approach on things can be a bummer, so using the 20 minute stuff and trying to proper time things can be quite risky.
However, based on my recommendations above (going with tight interference tolerances) you can use a quicker, or more regular, hardener that might also be used for laminations too. Really, if things are reasonably tight, you can lose the chopped up fiberglass and easily use microballons instead, or even use only epoxy if your fit is reasonable good. A significant volume of material creates heat, so plan accordingly.
Again, if you find quicker/hotter cure rates a problem, just go with the slower cure rate. Why have to rush things? Time can be on your side.
Two to three layers of fiberglass is sufficient. To gain a bit more dimension of the overall process, I would recommend checking out the Board Lady's website. Eva is a consummate expert, and fortunately, she has offered an incredible amount of sound information on her website. Really, a "must" review for the correct map to the job.

Staff Grievance Policy
Saint Louis University, through its open door policy, encourages staff employees and supervisors to have informal communications to facilitate fair, effective and efficient solutions for problems arising out of the employment relationship. Whenever a staff employee feels that his or her concerns are not being adequately addressed, the University provides a formal communication process to allow higher levels of management to resolve issues and provide guidance for both the staff employee and the supervisor.
This policy establishes guidelines for filing a grievance when complaints regarding workplace issues covered in this policy arise.
The covered complaint(s) of all Saint Louis University staff employees will be addressed according to this policy. A staff member who believes that a particular action was the result of unlawful discrimination, harassment, or retaliation may consult with the University's Director of Diversity and Affirmative Action about his or her right to file a complaint under the University's Equal Employment Opportunities policy, even if the staff member is in their orientation period. Employees of the Madrid Campus and those employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement are excluded from this policy.
Complainant - A person who submits a grievance under this policy.
Informal Grievance - The discussion of a problem as outlined in section 7.0 of this policy.
Formal Grievance - The signed document containing the elements listed in section 7.0 of this policy.
This policy establishes a process for staff employees to review complaints with their supervisors and management relating to compensation, hours of work, working conditions, job assignments, written warnings, performance evaluations and the interpretation or application of a rule, regulation or policy. Grievances involving compensation shall be limited to disciplinary actions that result in a reduction of the employee's base salary.
Any person who knowingly and intentionally files a false complaint under this policy is subject to corrective action up to and including discharge from the University.
A student, faculty, or staff member who retaliates in any way against an individual who has brought a grievance pursuant to this policy or who has participated in good faith in preparing, presenting or investigating a grievance, is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from the University.
All employees are expected to comply with the requirements of this policy for filing grievances and appeals. The designated University manager shall be responsible for reviewing and responding to grievances and appeals within the designated time frame and effectively administering this policy. Managers may consult with Human Resources and the other units as needed regarding particular grievances and applicable University policies or practices.
7.1 Informal Grievance
The employee should initially attempt to resolve a complaint informally and present the matter to his or her supervisor for discussion, consideration, and resolution within five (5) working days from the date of the action which is the subject of the complaint. The supervisor will meet with the employee within five (5) working days of receiving the complaint to attempt to work out a mutually satisfactory resolution results of the informal grievance should be documented.
7.2 Formal Grievance
Step A: If the supervisor's resolution is not satisfactory, the employee may present a formal grievance in writing to the appropriate department head for consideration and action within five (5) working days of the supervisor's decision.
The written grievance must contain the following information:
The department head will review the written grievance and mail a written decision to the employee within five (5) working days of receipt of the written grievance.
Step B: If the employee is not satisfied with the decision of the department head, a letter stating why the Step A decision is unsatisfactory may be sent to the appropriate dean or administrative equivalent within five (5) working days of the date of the Step B notice. Within ten (10) working days, the dean, or administrative equivalent will review the department head's Step A decision and issue a written report: a) granting or denying the employee's requested resolution, or b) proposing an alternative resolution.
Step C: If the employee is not satisfied with the decision of the dean or administrative equivalent, a letter stating why the Step B decision is unsatisfactory may be sent to the appropriate vice president responsible for the employee's department within five (5) working days of the date of the Step B notice. Within ten (10) working days following receipt of the letter, the vice president will review the Step B decision and mail his or her decision to the employee. The vice president's decision is final and concludes the grievance process.
In instances where the University manager or administrator designated to review a grievance is the subject of the underlying complaint, the employee may initiate the grievance with the person designated as the next level of review in the process outlined above. Employees should file any grievance involving the actions of a Vice President or the President with the Vice President for Human Resources. Grievances involving the actions of the Vice President for Human Resources should be submitted to the President.
The written complaint and all decisions or responses regarding such complaint shall be a part of the official employment file of the employee. The filing of a grievance will not stop or delay any evaluation or corrective action related to the Complainant who is not performing up to acceptable standards or who has violated University rules or policies.
Time frames mentioned in these procedures may be extended for good cause, such as holidays or when classes are not in session, or when it is necessary to complete an investigation due to difficulties reaching witnesses or parties to the grievance.
The confidentiality of a grievance under this policy and all documents, correspondence, interviews and discussions relating to the investigation of the grievance will be maintained on a need to know basis to the extent permitted by law and policy. Any person who knowingly and intentionally makes an unauthorized disclosure of confidential information contained in a grievance is subject to corrective action.

CHICAGO — A federal judge on Friday quashed another judge's surprise order to release an Illinois teenager facing charges that he sought to join al-Qaida-linked militants in Syria.
Abdella Ahmad Tounisi, 18, of Aurora, posed a potential threat to not just to Illinois and the United States but to "the entire world community," U.S. District Judge Edmond Chang told a Chicago courtroom.
Tounisi himself showed little emotion as Chang ordered he be held pending trial. But his mother, Seham Tounisi, appeared distraught and left the courtroom crying, her husband seeking to comfort her. A woman with her said, "This is unfair! This is unfair!"
The day before, U.S. Magistrate Judge Daniel Martin ruled Tounisi could be released under home confinement as he awaits trial. But Martin stayed his own release order to give prosecutors 24 hours to appeal. They did so, saying Martin made a mistake.
Tounisi, a U.S. citizen, was arrested at O'Hare International Airport last month as he allegedly prepared for the first leg of a trip to join al-Qaida-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusrah, which is fighting Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime. He was snared in an Internet sting after contacting a sham website set up by the FBI that purported to connect would-be fighters with terrorists, federal prosecutors said.
Prosecutors also argued that Tounisi had expressed a wish to die a martyr and that a terrorist crime typically "may only be committed once."
Tounisi's lawyer noted that the teen had no prior criminal record. He is charged with one count of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. If convicted, he faces a maximum 15-year prison term.
Legal observers say orders allowing terrorist suspects out of jail pending trial are rare.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — His character was killed in AMC's "The Walking Dead" TV series last season, but actor Jon Bernthal says he still enjoys settling on the couch Sundays to watch the latest installment of the zombie series.
Bernthal played deputy Shane Walsh on the show.
The show offers a moment of down-time for Bernthal, who these days is juggling TNT's television series "L.A. Noir" and filming of "The Wolf of Wall Street," a Martin Scorsese film about Wall Street corruption also starring Jonah Hill, Leonardo DiCaprio and Matthew McConaughey.
Adding to the busy time for Bernthal and his wife, Erin Angle, is the expected birth of their second child in February.

This rap shit (is not for real)
This rap shit (is not for real)
[Verse 1]
Yeah I remember it so clearly
Rappin' to my pop about the cars and the clothes
Shrimp and the lobster that I heard about
Like word of mouth
The UGK tape and Scarface will turn ya out
I was like 13 thirsting for a good beat
Scoping for a studio talkin' bout I spit heat
Like Ball & G, on that pimp type shit
Three 6 had me crunk on that late night tip
[Verse 2]
I played ball for a minute, did I mention wasn't in it
Writing rhymes on my glove so I will never forget em
Had to quit it, didn't feel it back in high school
Rather write poems, known for flowing, thats what I do
Couldn't be little Zac forever, peace to my big brother
Follow ya dreams baby, thats word to my grandmother
When I hear the streets tappin', my beats kickin' my flow
I overhear the same shit they always say before (he's dreaming)
[Verse 3]
I told them call me KRIT, they told me change my name
Don't be alarmed if you don't make it, thats just part of the game
Besides I ain't rapping about dope nor did I sell it
I guess the story of a country boy just ain't compelling
A&R's searching for a hit, I just need a meal
Couldn't afford to pay the rent, but passed up on the deal
Cause, it wasn't right sometimes you gotta wade the storm
In a class of my own, but I was scared to raise my arm
Like, this my dream, this my life, I sacrificed it all
Except my soul in the firm belief there is a God
Watching out, when all the others used to doubt
Felt my pain and pointed down and said "Son, your time is now"
I think my grandma pulled some strings on the low
Thats between her and the lord I'll never know
For those that caught me in the Spin, in Complex magazine, XXL, the Vibe and whatever inbetween
It's safe to say that dreams come true I guess
Don't let nobody tell ya, try for yourself
Just know that I was once considered just a dreamer
But I paid my dues and turned so many doubters to believers
They used to say
They used to say
They used to say
They used to say
I don't care if it is a dream I've got to believe in something I love
What can I do, what have I got to lose
You know sometimes dreams do come true
Might as well be a dream, dream, dream
KRIT tells a few stories from before his days of being a rap star. The beat and the background vocals on the hook are sampled from "Dream" by Brothers of Soul. (listen below)

Verizon Communicationsreported quarterly earnings in line with forecasts on Thursday, but revenue topped Wall Street's expectations.
After the earnings announcement, the mobile service provider's shares fell in trading before the opening bell. (Click here to get the latest quotes for Verizon.)
Verizon's second-quarter profit rose to $1.83 billion, or 64 cents per share, from $1.61 billion, or 57 cents per share in the same quarter a year ago.
Revenue rose to $28.6 billion from $27.54 billion a year ago, beating analysts' estimates of $28.549 billion.
Verizon added more new subscribers than Wall Street had expected.
Its Verizon Wireless venture with Vodafone Group added 888,000 net new subscribers in the quarter compared with the average expectation for about 666,000 from seven analysts.
The company said it is on track to increase full-year earnings in the double-digit percentage range, implying an increase of at least 10 percent.
Its wireless service margin based on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was 49 percent, ahead of estimates from three analysts for about 47 percent.
The company said it expected profit margins in its wireline business to continue to improve in the second half of the year after increasing in the second quarter from the first quarter.

Study Shows Big Economic Benefits of NOAA PORTS® Ocean Observing System in Houston/Galveston
The Galveston Bay area receives an estimated annual economic benefit of $14.1 to $15.6 million in savings and direct income from the operation of the Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System®, according a NOAA sponsored study released this week. The report details the economic benefits of the navigational decision support system, which is in operation at 13 major seaports across the United States. Four additional systems are slated to be added this year in ports along the Gulf of Mexico.
Economic benefits result from greater draft allowance, reduced transit delays, reduced risk of groundings, improved environmental/ecological planning, and improved recreational opportunities. The report also documents a correlation between a significant decrease in vessel groundings, 50 percent for ships and 60 percent for tug/tows, since PORTS® was established in Houston/Galveston in 1996. PORTS® is operated by NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services in cooperation with local ports.
"This study validated what we have been hearing for some time," said retired Navy Vice Admiral Conrad C. Lautenbacher Jr., Ph.D., under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA Administrator. "It quantified the benefits as being far greater than the cost of the system and demonstrates that the system provides valuable support for the safe and efficient movement of maritime commerce. Just as weather observations enable the smooth movement of goods in flight, this example highlights the benefits of an operational ocean observing system to the health of our economy. Whether in the air, on the ground or on the sea, our nation's commerce moves faster and safer with NOAA products."
Knowledge of the currents, water levels, winds, and density of the water can increase the amount of cargo moved through a port and harbor by enabling mariners to safely utilize every inch of dredged channel depth. One additional foot of draft may account for between $36,000 and $288,000 of increased profit per transit depending on the type of cargo transported.
The single largest benefit is associated with the reduced risk of commercial ship groundings. Combining the U.S. Coast Guard's 1991 Ports Needs Study approach to estimate the cost of groundings with the average number of ship transits, the reduction in grounding risk due to PORTS® data availability results in an avoided cost of $10.5 million annually. PORTS® real-time data are also used to decide whether it is necessary to offload oil tankers to reduce their draft before entering the port. Eliminating three such oil transfer, or "lightering," operations a year can result in an estimated savings of approximately $250,000.
"Houston/Galveston PORTS® has become one of the most important tools available to our mariners," said Tom Kornegay, executive director of the Port of Houston Authority. "Our community relies on PORTS® information to safely transport cargo within the Houston/Galveston system, particularly during less than ideal weather."
PORTS® data are used to enhance area weather and coastal marine forecasts, particularly coastal flooding. The Galveston Bay area's large coastal population is vulnerable to storm surge damage because of its low-lying geography. The estimated annual benefit from improved weather forecasting is between $1.5 and $3 million. Recreational boaters, using better real-time information available through PORTS®, may make more excursions, bringing an estimated $624,000 additional to the economy each year. The value of water temperature and tidal data used by fisherman to improve their catch is estimated to be $30,000 per year.
The report was authored by Hauke Kite-Powell, Ph.D., of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute Marine Policy Center, who designed the method of identifying as well as collecting and quantifying the data. Dr. Kite-Powell worked extensively with the local user community to gather the required data. The methodology was first applied to Tampa Bay. In that study PORTS® showed that the Tampa Bay economy receives more than $7 million a year in savings and direct income from the NOAA system.
NOAA plans to evaluate the New York/New Jersey PORTS® in 2007. PORTS® systems also operate in San Francisco Bay, California; Chesapeake Bay, which serves Delaware, Maryland and Virginia; Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island; Soo Locks, Michigan; Los Angeles/Long Beach, California; Delaware River and Bay; Tacoma, Washington; Port of Anchorage, Alaska; New Haven, Connecticut and the Lower Columbia River, bordering Oregon and Washington.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, is celebrating 200 years of science and service to the nation. From the establishment of the Survey of the Coast in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson to the formation of the Weather Bureau and the Commission of Fish and Fisheries in the 1870s, much of America's scientific heritage is rooted in NOAA.
NOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and information service delivery for transportation, and by providing environmental stewardship of our nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners, more than 60 countries and the European Commission to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts and protects.

Purdue specialist: Safeguard people first in disaster planning
March 21, 2013
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - With the arrival of spring comes greater chances of floods and tornadoes that farmers and other agricultural business owners should plan for while avoiding any temptation to "risk it all to save the barn" during a disaster, a Purdue Extension disaster education specialist says.
Their primary concern should be for the safety of family and employees, said Steve Cain, homeland security project director for the Purdue Extension Disaster Education Network.
"In a disaster, planning for people's safety is first," Cain said. "Unless you have planned for disaster, you may take steps during one that actually put people at risk."
He said family members and employees, for instance, should have clear instructions not to drive recklessly on roads during or after a storm, such as amid rising floodwaters, or operate equipment haphazardly in a hurry.
"That's not only important from a human well-being standpoint, but it's also important from a liability standpoint," Cain said. "Operating with a mindset of 'risk it all to save the barn' could put your operation at a higher liability if someone were seriously injured or died while reacting to a natural disaster because they didn't have the expectation to keep safety first.
"Careful planning to keep people safe can avoid a second disaster."
Cain said farmers and other operators should have two strategies: a plan for how to safeguard lives and equipment from a disaster and another for how best to respond to one. Purdue Extension has publications to help in disaster planning and response, such as Plan Today for Tomorrow's Flood; a Flood Response Plan for Agricultural Retailers, which includes advice that also applies to farm operations. Among the components of a good disaster plan and response strategy:
* Designate a leader.
* Make sure employees know their roles during an emergency.
* Update employee contact information.
* Have an exit strategy and account for everyone when evacuating a site.
The publication, which includes guidance in protecting equipment and records, is free online for download at Purdue Extension's Education Store at https://mdc.itap.purdue.edu/item.asp?itemID=20037. It also is available for $5 in hard-copy format.
The Education Store has other disaster awareness publications, including First Steps to Flood Recovery, which explains how to care for family members, pets and livestock; salvage keepsakes; and otherwise recover from flood damage.
Cain noted that industry organizations and commodity groups also have disaster planning and response guidance that could be specific to the type of a producer's operation.

A Quinsigamond Community College police sergeant charged with attacking a co-worker Jan. 31 was placed on house arrest with a GPS monitor after a two-day dangerousness hearing at Central District Court.
Judge Janet J. McGuiggan determined Friday morning that Mark A. Brooks, 44, of 11 Church St., Oxford, posed a danger to the alleged victim, fellow college police Officer Andrea Prinsen and to the community.
Judge McGuiggan set bail at $10,000 cash or $100,000 surety, which Sgt. Brooks' lawyer, James B. Triplett, said he would meet. She ordered him to wear a GPS monitor, stay away from Ms. Prinsen and the town of West Brookfield, where she lives, and to only leave his home for medical or legal visits, or to attend mandatory meetings at the college.
Assistant District Attorney Timothy Westerman said that when Ms. Prinsen confronted Sgt. Brooks, her supervisor, after he failed to assist her during a check on a suspicious vehicle shortly after midnight Jan. 31, he "snapped," preventing her from calling for help, taking away her keys, choking her, throwing her into a door and onto the ground and spraying pepper spray in her face.
When questioned by his co-worker, Mr. Westerman said, "He changes: He becomes a violent individual incapable of controlling his actions."
Testifying for the defense, Leo F. Polizoti, a clinical psychologist who administered the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and interviewed Sgt. Brooks, said Sgt. Brooks' psychological profile showed no signs of aggressive or impulsive behavior.
"There is absolutely nothing that I see that he would behave in this way at all," Mr. Polizoti said.
Mr. Triplett said, "The essence of this is … a he-said-she-said situation."
He questioned whether Ms. Prinsen was motivated by previous friction with Sgt. Brooks.
A pretrial hearing was set for March 7.

Madonna Reignites Feud with Lady Gaga
Considering she's the elder of the pair, Madonna's not acting so mature. The 'Give Me All Your Luvin" singer reportedly stipulated that if she is to attend anyone's Oscar parties, Lady Gaga can't be on the guest list.
The Material Girl's behavior is out of the ordinary, even for her. "It's unusual for Madonna to be so petty," a source told Showbiz Spy. "She doesn't usually act like this, even about bitter enemies such as Sean Penn and J. Lo."
So what's the big deal about Mother Monster? The source claims that "she didn't want to be forced into a photo-op with Gaga." Ouch!
While Lady Gaga has yet to comment on the feud directly, she has defenders in Elton John and DJ White Shadow, who came out blasting Madge on Twitter and in the media. Gaga's little monsters came out swinging against Madonna as well, even getting into off color commentary completely unrelated to the issue at hand: the beef between the divas.
It started when Madge began her promotional tour for 'W.E.' Journos asked the icon what she thought of Gaga's track 'Born This Way,' which sparked comparisons to Madonna's 'Express Yourself' as soon as it hit airwaves. Madonna called the track "reductive" and "a wonderful way to redo" her song.
Madonna is a legend that no one will top, so it's absurd that she's so insecure next to Lady Gaga, who has expressed nothing but admiration for the Material Girl. Ladies, can we put the claws away already and get along?

errr just wondering guys but is there something out there that will convert Assembly to VB?
Im Chris Bartholomew - 18 Years old
questions? firstname.lastname@example.com
technicaly impossible..
look at it like turning bread into flour, water, sugar and yeast..
And VB is the most f(_)cked up proprietary language out there..
Why anyone would want to convert something as elegant as ASM to VB is beyond me..
ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI.
When in Russia, pet a PETSCII.
Get your ass over to SLAYRadio the best station for C64 Remixes !
if you are talking about "revert" and compiled program back to VB is one think...
but i think you are just wondering about convert a assembly coded program into VB.
Although i think its possible, there is some limitiations: some structures and instructions cant be well represented on VB. Also, there is tricks in assembly (as any other language) that a "converter" wouldnt understand.
ASM, elegant? pffff.... in special if you are talking about IA-32 assembly. Its a crap. Worst machine language ive ever seen.
Meu sítio

If I die before I sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to encrypt. If I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to brake.
ehhh thanks guys, it was for some challenge at school. we got a vb6 application and we needed to get some source out of it. w/o decompiling it (which i know is like well yea uber not cool)
so our prof hinted that we should try to use a program like windasm or SmartCheck (which i cant even get my hands on a trail edition) to try to debug / disassemble.
The thing is when i use windams it comes out in assembley or something ----- which when that happend my face went from this: (O_O) to this ( -______- ) because me and assembley arn't good friends.
ahaha well now that you kinda know the scenario I'm in do any of you got suggestions?
Thanks abunch for your input so far =D
yes... asm is crap. I dont even know it, but im still going to say its crap.

the_JinX, I agree completely. It's programming in its purest form....not weighed down with the verbosity of VB, yet articulate and powerful. For those who see programming as an art....assembly is beautiful.

VB is a hammer, in the right hands you can build nice things. In most peoples hands, it makes things that look like the came out of a middle school shop class during the first semester.
I have little use for assembly beyond optimization of code or the occasional tinkering.
As far as decompiling VB code goes...I think a google search would probably benefit you more than asking here:
Taking it back to assembly and then to VB is....odd.

=\ if there is one thing i made sure man - it was going to google first b4 here. forums is my last resort.
its basically a homework assignment im not going put out 150 bucks for vbrezq or another 399 for vbreformer.
I googled all night for something that may be of some help regarding smartcheck and stuff because again the prof hinted that it can be done using those items. (not really decompiling but more of debugging)
I was hoping to come here to see if anyone has delt w/ those two items i mentioned in my previous post. that way they can point me to some sort of direction because after a whole night of googling i feel uberlost.
again dont get this wrong, its not like im asking for you to do my assignment, just a little advice.
thanks again for all your input =D
