A Pierce County woman, whose South Hill home burned the day before her baby daughter died, pleaded not guilty to first-degree arson and presenting false insurance claims on Friday, the same day authorities revealed they are investigating her daughter's death.
Melinda Sayers, 37, allegedly lit a candle in her living room and opened the valve on an oxygen tank for her 11-month-old daughter, Abigail, before calling 911 to report the resulting explosion and fire, according to the Pierce County Prosecutor's Office. Abigail, who was born three months premature, was scheduled to go home from Seattle Children's hospital the next day.
Sayers started the fire because she didn't want her daughter to come home, charging documents say.
Her financial gain — from a crowdfunding website and an insurance company — is under investigation, the Prosecutor's Office said Friday, and the Seattle Police Department is assisting the Pierce County Sheriff's Department in investigating Abigail's death, spokeswoman Renee Witt said.

Sayers told authorities on April 1 that she threw her 2-year-old son, Eli, out their home's ground-floor window after she saw smoke inside. She jumped out after him before an explosion, which at first was thought to have been caused by a leak in the oxygen tank. Sayers initially told detectives she didn't know how the fire started.
Abigail, who was scheduled to be discharged from Children's on April 2, suffered seizures that night and was returned to the intensive-care unit, where she died. Sayers spoke to several media outlets, who dubbed her "Supermom" for saving her son and coping with her daughter's death.
Fire investigators determined her story about the fire didn't match the evidence, which included a handheld butane lighter found on the living-room couch, according to a probable-cause affidavit. Sayers called 911 and said there was a fire alarm going off because of a fire in the living room; however, fire investigators noted it wouldn't have been possible to see any portion of the living room from the bedroom.
Detectives interviewed Sayers on Thursday and concluded they had enough evidence for an arrest, according to the Sheriff's Department. She was booked into the Pierce County Corrections Center on Thursday afternoon.
After the fire and Abigail's death, a page was created on a crowdfunding website for the Sayers family. It raised $32,000 to replace the family's belongings and help with funeral costs. Wanda O'Dell, who created it, wrote on the page Thursday that she is "horrified by the events" and was working with the crowdfunding site to refund contributions to those who want their money back. O'Dell noted, however, that Sayers' husband and children had been "victimized again from all of this."
The family also received from an insurance company a cash advance of $5,000 toward the loss of their home's contents and to help with temporary housing.
Sayers remains in custody in lieu of $200,000 bail. A jury trial is scheduled for June 17.

Mayor who sent White House watermelon e-mail resigns.
Los Alamitos, CA Mayor Dean Grose has announced that he will be stepping down from his position on March 2, after sending an "e-mail picture depicting the White House lawn planted with watermelons under the title 'No Easter egg hunt this year.'" One recipient, local businesswoman and community volunteer Keyanus Price, who is also African-American, said that she was "horrified" when she received the e-mail on Sunday, and replied, "Not all black people like watermelon… you should know better than that." Grose wrote back, "The way things are today, you gotta laugh every now and then. I wanna see the coloring contests." Grose has since apologized, saying the picture was never meant to offend anyone "from the standpoint of the African-American race."

A third of all large infrastructure projects in the country are delayed resulting in cost overruns of nearly Rs 1 lakh crore.
The data, which was tabled in the Lok Sabha, reveals that of the 727 large projects costing over Rs 150 crore and monitored by the ministry of statistics and programme implementation, 282 projects were delayed as on May 1, 2014, and are estimated to cost at least an additional Rs 98,992 crore.
Of these, two in three projects in the petroleum sector were delayed, while nearly half the projects in power as well as highways were running behind schedule. The data is even starker in the sector of atomic energy where all four projects being monitored are delayed from anywhere between
3 months (Rajasthan Atomic Power Project 7 and 8) to
as much as 75 months in the case of Kudankulam in Tamil Nadu.
The main reasons for delay in implementation are law and order problems, delay in land acquisition, rehabilitation and resettlement problems, fund constraints, delay in forest and environmental clearances, right of way and right of use issues, delay in supply of material, contractual issues, etc, Rao Inderjit Singh, minister of state for statistics and programme implementation, informed the Lok Sabha last week.
However, the project facing the longest delay is the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla railway line that is running behind schedule by over 15 years and has registered a cost overrun of 700 per cent to Rs 20,000 crore from the original cost of Rs 2,500 crore. Similarly, Arunachal Pradeshs Kameng Hydroelectric project would cost Rs 4,653.95 crore against original cost of Rs 2,496.90 crore with time overrun of 87 months while the Subansiri lower hydro project would cost Rs 10,667 crore against the original cost of Rs 6,285.33 crore with time overrun of 96 months.
More worryingly, though just about three dozen of the 283 projects in the railways sector are delayed, the government has no data on either the date of commissioning or completion for a majority of rail projects.
The data is significant given that Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with secretaries of infrastructure ministries to review sectoral targets and speed up such projects. Faster project implementation is expected to bring in larger investments in the economy and help revive it from a sub-five per cent growth trajectory.
Amongst states, Assam had the highest number of delayed projects with 28 of its 34 projects facing time overruns, followed by

The Yamaha Stagepas 500 System
Please note this system does not come with speaker stands
The Yamaha Stagepas 500 system puts a whole new meaning to the words portable PA. Those clever chaps at Yamaha have designed a PA system where the mixer amp clips into the back of one of the speakers so there is no extra mixer box to carry around. Overall the sound is impressive, especially when you consider the size of the speakers. We'd recommend the Stagepas system to any solo or duo act that require good all round sound but in a very portable package. The Stagepas system is also popular with schools & businesses as it's simple to use & very easy to store in a small space.
Here's what Yamaha say about the Stagepas 500
The Yamaha STAGEPAS 500 is an incredibly lightweight, portable, easy-to-use PA system consisting of a pair of high-performance speakers with a built-in powered mixer.
Using the Yamaha STAGEPAS 500, you can be set up and playing in a matter of minutes, and then packed away and on the road again with the same ease and speed when you're done. And all of this is provided with no compromise in sound quality or versatility, plus some advanced features you normally wouldn't expect to find in systems in this class. Getting great sound for live performance used to be a big deal.
Two 250-watt power amplifiers can fill surprisingly large clubs or rooms, or project your sound over a considerable distance outdoors. The class-D power amplifier has been painstakingly designed to deliver superior sound quality as well as reliability in a remarkably compact unit. The Yamaha STAGEPAS 500 also gives you 10 input channels in all: four mono microphone/line inputs and three stereo line inputs. The additional stereo channel can used for either a stereo or mono source. In addition to the main speaker outputs the mixer has line outputs that can be used to connect additional powered speakers for monitoring, and to send the mixer's output to a recording device.
The STAGEPAS 500 mixer features switchable phantom power for the four mono microphone/line inputs. This lets you use high-performance phantom-powered condenser microphones in situations where you want the extended, natural response they provide. Channels 1 and 2 feature LIMIT/COMP switches that let you apply either limiting or compression to those channels. Limiting can be useful to prevent input overload and distortion with sources that have a wide dynamic range, while compression can add punch to vocals, bass, guitar, and other sources while smoothing out the sound and helping it to "ride" better in the mix. The STAGEPAS 500 mixer has 2-band EQ controls on each channel, as well as REVERB switches on channels 1 through 4. A separate REVERB level control adjusts the reverb mix.
STAGEPAS 500 speakers have 10in woofers and 1in high-frequency units. Both types deliver clean, high-quality sound. The speakers can be stand mounted without standard speaker stand adapters.
Yamaha STAGEPAS 500 main features include
- Dual 250-Watt amplifier
- Versatile 10-channel Mixer with Monitor and Record Outputs
- Phantom Power for High-performance Condenser Microphones
- Built-in Channel Compression/Limiting, 2-band Channel EQ and SPX Digital Reverb
- High-performance 10" 2-way Passive Speakers
- MUSIC / SPEECH Switch optimizes the system settings for maximum clarity with speech.
- XLR and phone-jack inputs on mono channels, and phone-jack and RCA pin-jack inputs on stereo channels allow connection to a wide range of sources.
- MIC/LINE switches select microphone or line level input matching for channels 1 through 4.
- Auto Limiter prevents overload damage to power amplifier and speakers.
- LED output level meter.
- Speaker cables supplied.

The Yamaha STAGEPAS 500 is brilliant. So simple to set up and the mixer is very flexible, handling all sorts of input/output combinations. The speakers are not too heavy for moving around easily and yet adequately fill a typical village hall with a rounded sound. I've tried it with a sub-woofer, running off the monitor output, to make the walls shake but it is overkill and I am more than happy with the bass from STAGEPAS 500 in its standard form. Whether you are playing rock, classical of just using it for speech the output from this easy to transport and rig piece of kit is impressive. The reverb facility is great. Putting a bit on a mic makes a small venue feel twice the size. I really like the way that the mixer/amp stows in the back of one speaker with the other providing cable/mic storage, very neat. The speaker leads that are included are token so be prepared to buy more robust and longer leads unless you are happy to have the speakers close to you. Other than that, just add speaker stands and away you go. A lovely package that has impressed a number of gigging musicians that have now seen it.
James | Purchase date: 14 August 2012
What a great bit of kit! No messing about, plug it in a go. We run it with head mics and DJ music through it, for our group SavoyHop. Yet to use it with a band but it has it all if you need to.
Recommended bit of kit, and well worth the money if you need something a little louder than the StagePas 300 (which we have also).
Jo | Purchase date: 07 June 2012
The sound is amazing! It is easy to set up, I can set it up on my own in about 5 - 10 mins. Great bit of kit, get this over the stagepas 300!
Mr A Sweatman | Purchase date: 16 September 2010
A brilliant PA system that is very responsive and easily fills a hall with an audience of 100 people even at half volume. No noticable hum or other noise giving a clear sound from CD, DVD or microphone. Brilliant for keyboards as well. Mixer panel gives absolute control and the storage in the other speaker holds mains cable, long speaker leads and balanced microphone cable.
Overall, a 5 star product that won't disappoint.
Mr P Eddleston | Purchase date: 01 April 2010
This really is an excellent piece of kit. You really get the impression that Yamaha have listened very carefully to gigging musicians when they designed it. It's signal to noise ratio is good (no excessive hum or hiss). If you have a really small gig or rehersal then you can turn up with just the one speaker. There are 3 guys in my band : 2 guitars, bass, vocals, plus percussion and synths on backing track. The stagepas 500 handles this well. But don't take my word for it. Google it and chech out the glowing reviews on Harmony Central and the Paul White review in Performing Musician. One last thing. I think they should sell individual speaker covers as an accessory. The would be more practical than the case they offer.
Mr. Edward Beattie | Purchase date: 24 March 2010
I love the Stagepass 500 we used to lug about the yamaha emx 660. The Stagepass 500 weighs half as much and sets up in a fraction of the time particularly if you leave the mixer in the speaker back. No obvious reduction in sound quality or volume.

John Shute | Purchase date: 21 November 2009
I have never heard one of these units working – it was bought on the the reputation of Yamaha – and they certainly did not fail me this time. Amazing tone and power – and oh boy doesn't it handle the keyboard well! Total quality! I'd recommend it to anyone.
I don't know what they put in the "magic box" but I tried it also with an electric mandolin – a tricky tone to set up on amplifiers – it did not even want tweeking – it just worked – truly wonderful/
Thanks and be lucky – my Christmas gigs will knock 'em out with this lot!!
Ps – this equipment is very bad news for the "knob twiddlers" – they will find themselves redundant!! "IT" does the twiddling!!!

Road Tour 2001 Build-Up Part IIWritten by on July 22, 2003 Our Chevy Gets Better, Inside And Out
Last month we kicked off the first of a three-part series on building the Road Tour 2001 Chevrolet. In that installment the metamorphosis started as our creampuff '36 standard sedan began the transformation from stock to street rod. We followed along as the crew at Fatman Fabrications installed one of their independent frontends, a Chassis Engineering parallel leaf spring suspension in the rear, built a custom X-member, and installed the mounts for the PAW-built small-block Chevy and 700-R4 transmission.
With Fatman's work wrapped up, the Chevy was off to Jim and Lisa Swan at CarFab, Inc., in Concord, North Carolina. The Swans agreed to install the engine, transmission, some accessories, and the sedan would be on its way, but that was before they saw the car. CarFab is known for not taking halfway measures and there were some things about the stock Stovebolt they just couldn't ignore, but we'll let Jim tell the story.
"When I was first approached about doing the STREET RODDER 2001 tour car, my part of the project was to consist of installing the engine, transmission, radiator, air conditioner, and wiring harness. But things changed. Soon we were stripping off all the exterior sheetmetal to prepare for paint; removing the interior and steam-cleaning the car inside and out to get rid of the odor from the little creatures who had taken up residence at one time or another; fabricating and welding in a transmission tunnel and battery box cover; then we acid-etched the floor and coated it with POR-15. Next we welded all the holes in the firewall, then smoothed and painted the engine side. Back inside the car we installed a Dynamat insulation kit (great stuff and Dave Hall and the group at Dynamic Control were a big help). Then we repaired the cowl vent hinge, plugged most of the holes in the dash, and prepared it and the window trim for paint.
"Now it was on to the installation of the engine. First the new radiator, air conditioning condenser, and electric fan were installed in the grille shell. On the other end of the car, the Dan Fink vacuum-operated license plate holder was put in place along with the Rock Valley gas tank. A Classic Transportation cooler/battery box with an Optima battery went in the trunk.
"Back under the dash, the Newport Engineering wipers were installed (a very simple two-bolt process with a pre-wired switch). The American Auto Wire fuse panel and the Southern Air air conditioner were mounted to the firewall. As the car has no defroster vents, only three ducts were required. The freshly painted dash needed some instruments, so Haneline sent a great looking two-gauge set, each measuring 4 9/16 inches. The holes in the dash measured 4 1/8 inches, which meant cutting into the new paint (the painter had been and gone); fortunately we were able to cut the holes without damaging the finish. At this point, all new glass was ordered from the Glasshouse. I&I supplied all the stuff necessary to install it, along with a lot of interior and exterior trim pieces--again, all were really nice products.
"Back to the outside once more. The Jet 700-R4 transmission was bolted to the PAW small-block, but then it was discovered the change in transmission had not been passed along to the chassis builder, so a 2-inch adjustment had to be made to the crossmember. Now the engine and transmission slipped right in, but when it came time to mount the grille shell with the radiator and electric fan, there was a problem--the water pump snout interfered with the fan. To save the day, Brent from Fatman's took the car back to his shop and relocated the motor mounts and steering linkage so everything would clear. (Editor's note: read last month's story about planning ahead and what happened when we swapped some key components late in the game.)
"With the changes made and the engine and transmission installed, the car went to Denny's Cars and Mufflers in Indian Trail (off Hwy 218) for a complete exhaust system, then it was back to CarFab to continue assembly by installing all the neat stuff that came from Lokar. We started with the gas and brake pedals that came complete with all the cables, hardware, and easy to follow instructions. Then we installed the emergency brake lever with all the cables, the engine oil and transmission fluid dipsticks, and throttle valve control cable. All of these were in steel braid for a nice touch. Finally we installed the neutral safety switch.
"Next it was on to the plumbing. We started with the gas line from Classic Tube, and then I made hard lines for the brake booster, PCV valve, distributor vacuum advance, and the vacuum-operated license plate holder. The air conditioner came with a complete installation kit for the heater and air conditioner so those lines only needed to be cut to length and the ends crimped on.
"After installing the battery cables from the trunk-mounted battery to the engine, it was back inside to complete the wiring; about four days later everything worked. Next it was off to Leon Brown's Custom Upholstery, also in Concord, North Carolina. Leon installed a complete interior, including carpet and panels in the trunk in less than a week, and it looked great. It went out Leon's door and the last time we saw the car it was going towards Ohio."
Our baseball caps are off to the Swan's at CarFab and the Browns at Leon Brown's Custom Upholstery. Everyone involved at both these businesses went above and beyond the call of street rod duty by doing outstanding work in an incredibly short period of time. The next stop for the Road Tour Chevy was Wade Hughes' shop in Cincinnati, Ohio, for paint and a flame job you'll have to see to believe.
If you want to see the Road Tour 2001 Chevy you'll have the opportunity at any of the 11 stops Jerry Dixey will make on his way to NSRA events all over the country (see the schedule in this month's Happenings). And if you're really lucky, you'll see the Road Tour sedan every time your garage door opens, because this September we'll be giving it away. Enter the sweepstakes at an NSRA event, or with the form found in the pages of SRM. Good luck!

Jim Swan, of CarFab, assembled our Road Tour sedan in record time, especially considering that a few last minute changes in components meant the engine mounts had to be moved. Nonetheless, Jim kept smiling.While the car was still at Fatman's an 8-inch Ford rearend was installed with a Chassis Engineering parallel leaf spring assembly. Not only do these kits provide an excellent ride, they center the wheels in the fender. In stock form the wheels are too far forward; note that the axle is now slightly behind the rubber axle snubber on the frame.Along with the springs, Chassis Engineering supplied a rear sway bar. The yet-to-be installed shocks came from Hal, while Kugel Komponents supplied the various clamps to secure the plumbing and battery cable to the frame.Replacing the stock, rusty tank was a new reproduction from Rock Valley. The all stainless construction ensures corrosion won't be a problem in the future.With the tank in place, the next project was installing the vacuum-operated license plate mount from Dan Fink. As soon as the engine starts the plate swings down in plain view.Leon and Linda Brown handled the upholstery chores. With a shop full of work they still managed to stitch a gorgeous interior in a week.Before Leon could sew the new he had to rip out the old. Here he carefully removed the headliner so it could be used for a pattern.With the headliner and upholstery panels removed, the Chevy was treated to a full complement of Dynamat insulation. A great addition to any car, it makes them easier to heat and cool, as well as much quieter.
As part of the floor refurbishing Jim fabricated a new access panel for the master cylinder, and welded in a new transmission tunnel and a cover over the battery box opening.With the necessary sheetmetal work done, Jim brushed on the two-part POR-15 to make the floor good as new.The metalwork continued on the dash with the filling of all the unused holes, such as those for the choke and throttle controls. Next was a splash of tan paint to match the upholstery.For accessibility the American Autowire fuse panel was mounted to the left of the steering column on the firewall. Next under the dash would be a Southern Air heat and cool unit.Lokar supplied the throttle pedal assembly, emergency brake handle and cables, and pad for the ECI brake pedal.To keep Dixey comfy on his cross-country jaunt, CarFab added a layer of insulation to the sedan's floor.Leon Brown's sewing machine was at redline for a week to get this interior done. Topping off the ididit tilt column is a Lecarra wheel. Juliano's supplied the color-coordinated seatbelts.If you're rod running, you might as well be comfortable. The Road Tour car is that, plus there's room for family and friends.

Tonight I got to experience the premium dining venue aboard Carnival Breeze, a steakhouse called Fahrenheit 555. The fee for this steakhouse was recently raised from $30 to $35, but in my opinion worth every penny.
Fahrenheit 555 does require a reservation to be made and it usually does book up during the cruise so if you want to have the dining experience during your sailing, book early.
Here's a glance at the menu:
- Escargots Bourguignonne
- Grilled Portobello Mushroom
- Beef Carpaccio
- Ahi Tuna Tartare
- New England Crab Cake
- Baked Onion Soup
- Classic Caeser Salad
- Baby Leaf Spinach and Fresh Mushrooms
- Hearts of Iceberg Lettuce
- Sliced, Sun-ripened Beefsteak Tomato
- 14 oz. Broiled Prime New York Strip Loin Steak
- 18 oz. Grilled Prime Cowboy Steak
- 18 oz. Spice Rubbed Prime Ribeye Steak
- 9 oz. Broiled Filet Mignon
- Surf (lobster) and Turf
- Broiled Lobster Tail
- Broiled Rosemary-Infused Chicken
- Grilled Lamb Chops
- Main Lobster Ravioli
- Grilled Filet of Fish
Side Dishes
- Baked Potatoes with Trimmings
- Sauteed Medley of Fresh Mushrooms
- Yukon Gold Mash with Wasabi Horseradish
- Creamed Spinach with Garlic
- Steamed Broccoli
- Cheesecake with Hazelnut Biscuit
- Caramelized Washington Apples
- Chocolate Sampler
- Fresh Fruits
- Selection of Homeade Sherbet & Ice Creams
Tea and Fresh Brewed Coffee is available along with a sweet Riesling dessert wine.
If you care for an after dinner drink: Dow's 20-year Tawny, Graham's six grape, Remy Martins V.S.O.P., Hennessy, Grand Marnier, Bailey's Irish Cream, Disaronno Amaretto, Limoncello, Sambuca or Kahlua.
My thoughts:
Overall the atmosphere wasn't formal by any means; guys could get away with slacks and tie while women could wear a cocktail dress. I'd consider this more of a dining event than just a meal, expect at least two hours from sit down til you leave. We went in at 8:30 and left at 10:45.
The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the lobster ravioli, it was mediocre at best, everything else I sampled was great and cooked to perfection.
Having the chef come to our table to make sure everything was cooked to order was a nice touch to.
If you like the big boy steakhouses on land, this one is definitely a bargain for the price.

Technorati Code: C4S9ZBWP3ENN
Well it is that time of year again where I enter three photos for into the Three Counties Open Photography Exhibition. This exhbition is run by Keele University and attracts photographers from across Staffordshire, Cheshire and Shropshire of all calibres and style. This will be the third year I will be submitting some photos and I have done well over the years having had all three photos selected in 2011 and one photo selected last year.
This year I am submitting photos that were taken in Iceland, Hong Kong and Macau. I am also submitting an all photos in black and white. The main reason for this is the photos I wanted to exhibit worked the best in black and white and as a photographer I wanted to demonstrate consistency and style. The photos I have entered can be seen in this gallery.
Prizes for the best photos are awarded but to be honest I enter the exhibition so I can see my work up on the wall and other people can enjoy my photography. I would be thrilled if I won a prize but the competition is always tight and the caliber is always high, given the choice I would find it hard to choose a clear winner.
If you live in either Staffordshire, Shropshire or Cheshire and would like more information on entering then head on over to the Keele University site for more info
What do you think of these photos? As always I welcome feedback and would love to know what you think.

Chemical Abstracts Name:
1-Propanamine, 3-chloro-N,N-dimethyl (9CI)
Chemical and Physical Properties:
Hygroscopic, white to off-white crystalline solid (Anon., 1992a; Anon., 1994b).
Melting Point:
141-144oC (Anon., 1992a)
Soluble in water (400 mg in 4 ml H2O giving a colorless to faintly yellowish clear solution) (Anon., 1994b).
Technical Products and Impurities:
DMPC is available at purities ranging from 96 to 99%: Aldrich Chemical Co., 96%; Sigma Chemical Co., >98%; and Janssen Chimica, 99% (Anon., 1992b; Anon., 1994a; Anon., 1994b).
Production and Producers: Chloroalkylamine hydrochlorides, including DMPC, can be prepared by chlorination of the corresponding aminoalkyl ether hydrochloride with HCl with the removal of H2O, according to a patent assigned to Daicel Chemical Industries in 1983 (STN, 1994). Calgon Corp. reported purifying this chemical in both batch and continuous processes by treating aqueous solutions with activated carbon (Woodrum & Barnett, 1975).
Although no specific production volumes were found in the literature searched, DMPC has been listed by the U.S. International Trade Commission publications, Synthetic Organic Chemicals, United States Production and Sales, which is an indication of its commercial significance (USITC, 1990-1993). The USITC reporting guidelines specify that each company's report of a chemical represents manufacture of a quantity >4,500 kg [~10,000 lbs] or sales of $10,000. In addition, Dean et al. (1985) of Shell Research, Ltd., included DMPC in genetic toxicity testing as one of "41 representative industrial chemicals of diverse structure and application;" and Thompson et al. (1981) of Lilly Research Laboratories described the generic class of dialkylaminoalkyl chlorides, including DMPC, as important monofunctional alkylating agents used as chemical manufacturing intermediates. This group of related chemicals are usually employed as hydrochloride salts.
The 31 companies listed in Table 1 were identified in a search of recent chemical industry directories and databases for producers and suppliers of DMPC. In addition, companies with recently patented processes using DMPC as a reagent in pharmaceutical synthesis include: American Home Products Corp.; Hoechst-Roussel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. USA; Procter and Gamble Co.; A.H. Robins Co., Inc.; Upjohn Corp.; and Zeneca Ltd. (STN, 1994). And some research institutions recently reporting use of DMPC in patented processes include: Department of Chemistry, Columbia University; Department of Pharmacology, Mayo Medical School; and the Cancer Center of the University of Kansas.
DMPC is listed on the EPA TSCA Inventory. Aceto Chemical Co, Inc. and Rhone-Poulenc, Inc. were listed in EPA's TSCA Plant and Productions (TSCAPP) database as importers of this substance (CIS, 1994).
Table 1. Producers/suppliers of DMPC identified in
chemical publications and database sourcesUse Pattern: DMPC is primarily used as an industrial and research organic chemical intermediate which acts as an aklylating reagent in Grignard and other types of reactions. For example, DMPC as the starting material is neutralized to the free base intermediate in the preparation of the corresponding Grignard reagent for use in many syntheses; and DMPC as starting material undergoes alkaline hydrolysis in the preparation of N,N-dimethyl-N-(3-hydroxypropyl)amine (Clennan et al., 1989).EVIDENCE FOR POSSIBLE CARCINOGENIC ACTIVITY
DMPC is widely used as a pharmaceutical intermediate, and nitrogen mustards were among the groups of compounds investigated in early efforts to find chemotherapeutic compounds (Williams & Weisburger, 1991). Some of the many types of drugs synthesized using DMPC as a reagent include analgesics, antiarrythmics, antibiotics, anticholesteremics, antidepressants (anxiolytics, tranquilizers), antiischemics, antineoplastics, etc. (STN, 1994). DMPC is also used as an agricultural chemical intermediate, a photographic chemical intermediate, and a biochemical reagent for enzyme and other studies. For example, Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., of Japan holds several patents for the preparation and use of DMPC as a nucleation-promoting agent in direct-positive color photographic emulsions (STN, 1994), and Syntex (USA) Inc. was issued a patent in 1986 for the use of DMPC as a starting material to prepare the free base for further reaction in an immunoassay method for determination of nortryptiline (Hu & Singh, 1986).
Human Exposure: Human occupational or other accidental exposure could occur by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption. According to Soper et al. (1979) DMPC and its analogs are stable compounds and, when used as pharmaceutical intermediates, may persist through drug syntheses and remain as trace contaminants in the final products.
Environmental Occurrence: DMPC has not been reported to occur naturally. No information was found in the available literature on the occurrence of DMPC in environmental media. However, the Ministry of Defence in Great Britain reported an accident involving free base DMPC as a reactant in a preparation of lithiodimethylaminopropane (Service, 1987). Kamienskis (1987) speculated that the cause of the resulting fire was an exothermic build up of unreacted DMPC in the reaction mixture at the low temperature used. No information was reported on possible contamination of the work environment.
Regulatory Status: No standards or guidelines have been set for occupational exposure to or workplace maximum allowable levels of DMPC. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has not adopted a Threshold Limit Value (TLV) or Biological Exposure Index (BEI) for this compound.
Human Data: No epidemiological studies or case reports investigating the association of exposures to DMPC and a cancer risk in humans were identified in the available literature. DMPC is an irritant to skin, eyes and mucous membranes (Anon. 1992a). According to the SmithKline Beecham Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) no determination of carcinogen status has been made by the company or has been reported by the NTP, IARC or OSHA (Anon., 1992a). Thompson et al. (1981) postulated that, based on results in a battery of short-term tests, some dialkylaminoalkyl chlorides are likely to be carcinogenic but that the carcinogenic potential of the dialkylaminopropyl chlorides, including DMPC, is probably lower than that of the dialkylaminoethyl chloride analogs.
Animal Data: No 2-year carcinogenicity studies of DMPC were identified in the available literature.
Short-Term Test: Thompson et al. (1981) reported the results of testing DMPC in a battery of short- term tests, including the concentration gradient bacterial mutagen assay, the Ames test, and the hepatocyte primary culture-DNA repair test. They reported the following results:
- positive in the gradient plate test for bacterial mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100 and TA1535 at mutagenic concentration ranges of 10-1,000 and 200-1,000 mg/ml respectively but negative in strain G46 and negative, as well, in Escherichia coli strains, WP2 and WP2 uvrA-.
- weakly mutagenic in Salmonella strains TA100 and TA1535 without metabolic activation.
- inactive for induction of unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in a hepatocyte primary culture- DNA repair tests.
Dean et al. (1985). reported DMPC was positive for mutagenicity in an Ames/Salmonella assay in strains TA1535 and 1537 both with and without S9 and TA100 with S9. The same authors reported that this compound tested negative in E. coli WP2 and WP2 uvrA assays both with and without S9, negative in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, both with and without S9, and negative in a rat liver (RL) chromosome assay.
Metabolism: No information on the metabolism of DMPC was found in the available literature. According to Williams and Weisburger (1991) nitrogen mustards are biotransformed to reactive electrophilic aziridinium ions. However, while dialkylaminoethyl chlorides probably exist in equilibrium with cyclic aziridinium ion intermediates at near neutral pH, dialkylaminopropyl chlorides do not, according to Thompson et al. (1981).
Other Biological Effects: DMPC, a monofunctional nitrogen mustard-type chemical, has been shown to be a DNA alkylating agent, but weaker than bifunctional nitrogen mustards and without DNA-interstrand crosslinking ability (Bodell, 1990). Wheeler et al. (1970) postulated that, while higher concentrations of monofunctional nitrogen mustard-type compounds are required for DNA cross-linking than related polyfunctional alkylating agents, exposure of cells to these compounds produces toxicity to cell mitosis, namely interference with the progression of cells from S to metaphase apart from the DNA effect.
According to Boudikova-Girard et al. (1993) DMPC is one of a group of aliphatic and aromatic amine compounds which act as competitive inhibitors of human kidney histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT). DMPC, as the free base, inhibited the enzyme with a reported IC50 value of 0.32 mM, the IC50 being the concentration which caused 50% inhibition.
Deves and Krupka (1990) studied DMPC as one of a group of tertiary amine analogs of choline useful as substrates for investigations of mechanisms of membrane transport. They reported that this compound migrated rapidly across the cell membrane of human erythrocytes (characteristic of lipid-soluble molecules) and, in the protonated form, was a strong inhibitor of choline uptake at the transport carrier site (61% inhibition). An observed decrease in flux ratio (the ratio of infinite-trans to zero-trans flux) indicated a preferential binding by DMPC at the inner carrier site. In another study on rat liver mitochondria, Porter et al. (1992) reported that DMPC demonstrated high affinity as an inhibitor of choline uptake (55% inhibition).
Structure/Activity Relationships: Mixed results in a variety of short-term tests have been reported for various structural analogs of DMPC. According to Bodell (1990), close monofunctional analogs demonstrate DNA alkylating ability and induction of SCEs in a rat 9L cell line, but to a lesser extent than similar bifunctional nitrogen mustards. A literature search was carried out for information relevant to mutagenicity and carcinogenicity on the eleven analogs shown in Appendix A. For five of them [B,D,E,H,K] no information was found; while only general toxicity information was found for one other [G]. Pertinent information was identified for the other five all ethyl mustard-type analogs [A,C,F,I,J]. In each case, at least one citation with positive results was reported from mutagenicity or carcinogenicity testing. The relevant information found is summarized as follows.
2-Chloro-N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-methylethanamine hydrochloride (mechlorethamine hydrochloride; nitrogen mustard hydrochloride) [A] was tested by the NTP for genetic toxicity only and was reported to be an Ames positive mutagen (NTP, 1994). IARC placed this chemical in Group 2A (probably carcinogenic to humans) on the basis of limited evidence for carcinogenicity to humans and sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity to animals (IARC, 1975; IARC, 1987). This chemical has also been reported to have given positive results in a battery of short-term tests, including the following test systems: Ames/Salmonella, mammalian somatic cell, unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS), cytogenetics and Drosophila assays (Soderman, 1982). Schiestl et al. (1989) reported, in addition, that this chemical induced intrachromosomal recombinations in the yeast deletion assay with S. cerevisiae. Manson (1991) listed nitrogen mustard as one of the known causal agents of malformations in mammalian species, raising the possibility that DMPC might also have a teratogenic effect.
An ethyl mustard, 2-dimethylaminopropyl chloride hydrochloride [J], has also been tested by the NTP for mutagenicity only in an Ames/Salmonella assay with a positive result reported. No other testing for this chemical was reported in the NTP results report (NTP, 1994).
Analog [I], 2-chloro-N,N-dimethylethylamine hydrochloride (dimethyl mustard), was the only analog for which information was found in PHS-149. In the one citation identified, Theiss et al. (1979) reported that this chemical was carcinogenic to the lungs of strain A mice following i.p. administration in saline for 24 weeks. Doses of 0.21 mmol/kg, 0.52 mmol/kg, and 1.04 mmol/kg (the MTD) administered in 0.9% saline solution 3 times per week (total doses of 5.0, 12.5 and 25.0 mmol/kg) all produced tumors. In addition, Tokuda and Bodell (1987) reported that this chemical, at a concentration of 0.1 mM, induced sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in 9L rat brain tumor cells with a linear dose response relationship.
The closely related free base of compound [I], dimethylaminoethyl chloride [C] was reported to have given positive results in three mutagenicity assays summarized as follows (NLM, 1994):
- positive in an Ames/Salmonella assay in strains TA100 and TA1535 both with and without S9 activation
- positive in an E. coli assay both with and without S9 activation
- positive in a yeast assay, S. cerevisiae
- Quillardet and Hofnung (1993) also reported that this chemical was genotoxic to E. coli when tested in an SOS chromotest.
Analog [F], diethylaminoethyl chloride hydrochloride (diethyl mustard), was reported by Probst et al. (1981) to have given a positive response in both a modified Ames test and a hepatocyte UDS test. Soper et al. (1979) reported that this chemical induced base substitution mutations in E. coli strains WP2 and WP2uvrA- when tested at a concentration of 0.1mmol/L. This analog was also reported in the EPA GENETOX Program of 1988 to have given a positive response in a yeast reversion assay with Saccharomyces pombe (NLM, 1994).
Although Thompson et al. (1981) found that the alkylating abilities and mechanisms of action differ among the chemicals of the nitrogen mustard-type class, they concluded that there is a reasonable chance alkylaminoalkyl chlorides will be found to be carcinogenic in long-term studies in rodents.

DMPC is one of 41 industrial chemicals of diverse structures and applications tested for genotoxicity activity in several in vitro test systems by researchers at a Shell Research Laboratory. DMPC is a representative and commercially important member of the class of nitrogen mustard-type compounds. DMPC is listed in the recent USITC Synthetic Organic Chemicals publications (1990-1993) but no specific information on annual production volumes was provided. Supporting information on the production, supply, and use of DMPC is found in other chemical industry directories. DMPC is an alkylating agent and is used mainly as an industrial and research organic chemical reagent
DMPC was mutagenic in Salmonella strains TA1535 and 1537 both with and without metabolic activation and in TA100 with activation.
Alkylating abilities of varying strengths have been described for a number of nitrogen mustard-type compounds. Because of the genetic toxicity and DNA-damaging effects associated with this group of chemicals, there is reason to suspect they may be carcinogenic; and, in fact, two analogs of DMPC have been reported to be tumorigenic.

Consulates in North America report of flux of Israelis asking for help getting back to Jewish state after losing money in financial crisis; Absorption, Foreign ministries mulling forming possible airfare aid fund
Itamar Eichner
Published: 11.24.08, 09:27 / Israel News
Itamar Eichner
Many Israelis living in the United States have approached the Israeli consulates in North America recently, asking for their help in getting back to Israel.
According to the report, dozens of Israelis who have lost their money in the financial crisis sweeping through the US have been pleading with the local Israeli bureaus to help them pay for a plane ticket back to the Jewish state.
Eli Yifrach, an Israeli consul in Florida, said that the Miami office gets several calls to that effect every day: "We've had cases of Israelis telling us they were being evicted from their homes, after faltering on their mortgage payments."
Another official with a different consulate said that his offices has had Israelis call in and ask for financial help to buy food. "In one case, I gave an Israeli $100 for food, and I know many contact Chabad centers and synagogues for food," he said.
Sharon Glassman, of the Immigrant Absorption Ministry, told Yedioth Ahronoth that the ministry was "aware of several humanitarian cases of Israelis who reported that they could not afford airfare.
"Absorption Ministry Director-General Erez Halfon has instructed us to look into ways in which we can cooperate with the Foreign Ministry and form an aid fund which will help those in need to purchase tickets back to Israel."

Obama's signature move
Feint left, go right.
A blog (from "web blog") is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed newest first. All Corrente posts are front-paged; there is no up-rate or down-rate process. Corrente posts are almost entirely community moderated. We encourage a clash of ideas, and do not encourage a clash of persons.
If you are the author of this post, see the Edit tab ad Help (and Advanced Help) for detailed documentation.
Everything's up-to-date at UMKCThis is a great RNN interview with Michael Hudson; I've put the blogosphere shorthand after Hudson's statements:
Mr. Obama's great with words. He says one thing, and he does the opposite. Here's basically the charade that's happening when he's trying to be reasonable. In order for him to move way to the right and to continue the Bush administration policies, he needs the Republicans to move even further to the right.
(The Ratchet Effect)
[W]e do have to cut what's inefficient. What's inefficient? Paying for people on Medicaid. Got to cut it. What's inefficient? Medicare. Got to cut it. What's inefficient? Paying Social Security. What is efficient? Giving $13 trillion to Wall Street for a bailout. Now, how on earth can the administration say, in the last three years we have given $13 trillion to Wall Street, but then, in between 2040 and 2
075, we may lose $1 trillion, no money for the people? That is absolutely crazy.
("Free market" ideology)
It's not about the debt ceiling. It's about making an agreement now under an emergency conditions. You remember what Obama's staff aide Rahm Emanuel said. He said a crisis is too important to waste. They're using this crisis as a chance to ram through a financial policy, an anti-Medicare, anti-Medicaid, anti—selling out Social Security that they could never do under the normal course of things. They're using this to stampede the Democrats.
(Shock doctrine)
Mr. Obama has always known who has been contributing primarily to his political campaigns. We know where his loyalties lie now. And, basically, he promised change because that's what people would vote for, and he delivered the change constituency to the campaign contributors.
(President Fuck You)
NOTE More on KC (UMKC, if you didn't know, is where Bill Black and part of the MMT crowd work, also). Remarkably, this editorial on Grover Norquist is from a member of the Kansas City Star editorial board. Things are certainly stirring in the heartland.
Feint left, go right.
(The Ratchet Effect)
(The Ratshit Effect)
Because after all, catfood is just too expensive for the likes of us.
some are smarter than others.
"Mr. Obama has always known who has been contributing primarily to his political campaigns."
Hudson is referring to Obama's benefactors in the financial industry, of course, but here is a lessor known fact: employees of Goldman Sachs were not the top contributor to the president's campaign in 2008. These chumps were, by a fairly wide margin, too. And what did liberals at the University of California get in return? Well, not much. Not only is Obama doing his level best to erase the liberal legacy of FDR and LBJ, his economic policies are effectively limiting access to higher education (even after this is accounted for).
As the economy continues to sputter while Versailles twiddles its collective thumbs, the UC system, which has undergone budget cut after budget cut lately, is once again facing the fiscal axe. And its students are facing yet another round of tuition hikes. This is having the combined effect of fewer students being accepted each year and those who are accepted having to pay a substantial higher cost.
You'd think liberal professors at places like UCLA would be pissed for having been punked. If so, you'd be wrong. I can only guess that contractually guaranteed lifetime employment with income safely within the top 5% of the income distribution colors one's perceptions of reality.
Meanwhile, Hudson and his colleagues at UMKC are being sneered down on as dangerous fools.

Real Estate Law
Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
I have a General Warranty Deed. But under property it states One Half undivided interest in the Legal description proper.
No. I, Patricia, divorced Mr. Murdock, married Mr. Pitts, several years later and the property was in Patricia Murdock's name 100%. After we married, Mr. Pitts and I, we refinanced the property that I owed and I wanted my new husband to have community property rights. so the title company did a General Warranty Deed that stated what I already told you.
I have no idea why this deed states one half of ownership. I am 63 and my spouse is 66 years old.
I believe my spouse owns the other half. I can only get 50% homstead but no over 65 exemption. and my spouse is 66 years old sorry.
Grantor: Patricia A Murdock now known as Patricia Murdock Pitts and the property address
Grantee Michael L. Pitts Grantee address same as property address.
Consideration $10.00
Property: one half undivided interest lot, bl, sub. map vol., map records
Reservations from exceptions to conveyance and warranty: easements....
No my husband
To qualify for a general or disabled homestead exemption, you must own your home on January 1. If you are 65 years of age or older, you need not own your home on January 1. You will qualify for the over-65 exemption as soon as you turn 65, own the home, and live in it as your principal residence.
Your homestead can be a separate structure, condominium, or a mobile home located on leased land, as long as you own it. Your homestead can include up to 20 acres if the land is used as your yard.
A residence may be owned by an individual through an interest in a qualifying beneficial trust and may be occupied by a trustor of a qualifying trust.
If you are not the sole owner of the home, you will receive only a portion of any qualified exemption, based on your percent of ownership. For example, you own a 25-percent interest in a homestead valued at $100,000, for a total value of $25,000. You will receive 25 percent of a $15,000
If you are age 65 or older, your residence homestead will qualify for more exemptions.
You will qualify for a $10,000 homestead exemption for the school taxes on your home's value, in addition to the $15,000 exemption for all homeowners.
If you qualify for both the $10,000 exemption for over-65 homeowners and the $10,000 exemption for disabled homeowners (see the following section), you must choose one or the other for school taxes. You cannot receive both.
In addition to the $10,000 exemption for school taxes, any taxing unit (including a school district) can offer an additional exemption of at least $3,000 for taxpayers age 65 or older.
Once you receive an over-65 homestead exemption, you get a tax ceiling for that home on your total school taxes. The school taxes on your home cannot increase as long as you own and live in that home. The tax ceiling is the amount you pay in the year that you qualify for the over-65 homeowner exemption. The school taxes on your home may go below the ceiling, but the school taxes will not be more than the amount of your ceiling.
However, your tax ceiling can go up if you improve your home (other than normal repairs or maintenance). For example, if you add a garage or a game room to your home, your tax ceiling can go up. Also, your tax ceiling will change if you move to a new home.
When a homeowner who has been receiving the tax ceiling on school taxes dies, the ceiling transfers to the surviving spouse if the survivor is 55 or older and has ownership in the home. The survivor should apply to the appraisal district for the tax ceiling to transfer. The ceiling remains in effect for as long as the spouse lives in the home.
When you no longer live in the home as your permanent residence, you will no longer qualify for the over-65 exemption for the remaining portion of that year. Taxes will be prorated based on the number of days that elapsed after you no longer qualified that home for the exemption to the end of the year.

The Chicago-set sitcom Happy Endings may soon experience a not-so-happy ending.
See what I did there?
The show that once aired on ABC was said to be picked up by USA Network but the company decided to pass on the series due to budgetary reasons. It also may have to do with the sitcoms history of low ratings.
The cult-hit comedy that stars Eliza Coupe, Elisha Cuthbert, Zachary Knighton, Adam Pally, Damon Wayans, Jr., and Casey Wilson follows the dysfunctional relationship between six best friends.
Seems a little bit like a Friends rip off to me. Why can't writers think of unique sitcom ideas these days?
But not all hope is lost for Happy Endings fans though. Reports claim that the show may soon be picked up by a cable channel or non-network home such as Amazon or Netflix.
Would you still follow Happy Endings to a new home? Comment your answer below.

Folks have been abuzz over sweet, nutritious honey since earliest recorded history -- indeed, cave drawings and Egyptian papyrus depict honey collecting. It seems for most of us, though, honey has been relegated to morning toast. But thanks to creative chefs and a growing appreciation for things local, natural and sustainable, honey is enjoying a well-deserved renaissance. From Canadian canola, cranberry and blueberry to exotic Javanese coffee blossom and Tasmanian Leatherwood, nowadays flavoured honeys, blends and monoflorals (those made from a single type of bloom) are sharing shelf space with good old Billy Bee. And you don't have to look any farther than the nearest supermarket. Maria Charvat, vice-president of product development at Loblaw Companies, is stocking a new line of honeys from all over the world in upside-down squeeze bottles. She says consumers are looking for healthier sweeteners, and "honey is more natural than refined sugar."
To appreciate honey, do think beyond the toasted bun. Strong in flavour and not too sweet, French chestnut honey pairs beautifully with charcuterie, and aromatic truffled honey adds a touch of luxury to a cheese board. At OddFellows in Toronto, chef Matthew James Matheson tops a silky duck liver pâté with runny honeycomb to spectacular effect. And high above Toronto, from hives on the roof of the Fairmont Royal York Hotel, 10,000 hungry honeybees fan out across the city, visiting gardens and parks, then return with nectar for executive chef David Garcelon's Royal York rooftop honey. In 2008, his first year of production, he harvested over 300 pounds and took home second prize from the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto.
lexicon of love
Mark Morton, author of Cupboard Love: A Dictionary of Culinary Curiosities, says that the word honeymoon dates from the mid 16th century. It arose from the idea that marriage is as sweet as honey at the beginning but, like the moon, wanes and becomes less sweet over time.
a whole lotta honey
According to the Canadian Honey Council, hardworking Canadian honeybees produced 62 million pounds of amber goodness in 2008, with the Prairie provinces leading the way, turning out 80% of the sweet stuff. For more about Canada's beekeeping industry and links to provincial sites, visit honeycouncil.ca.

No way. No how. No thank you.
Being pregnant, I'm always looking for articles on the subject, and tonight I found this. It's about new moms who ingest their placenta, in hopes that the beefy-looking glob–rich in estrogen and progesterone–will ward off the baby blues. The women believe that consuming the hormone-laden mass will restore their hormone levels that were depleted while giving birth, according to the article.
While eating the placenta is common among some mammals, no scientific studies have proven that human-placenta ingestion provides positive health benefits.
So let me get this straight: We don't even know if it works, and women are eating their placenta anyways? I've always been a picky eater, but isn't this gross?
The article says that the placenta can be made into pizza toppings and other edible items or encapsulated, but still. It's just yuck.
Call me narrow-minded, call me unenlightened, but if I get a bout of the baby blues after delivering this baby, I'll happily take a prescription drug. There's no shame in it.
To anyone out there who has eaten their placenta, or plans to, I'd love to hear from you. Please enlighten me.
And if you have an interesting birth story involving placenta or not, please tell BabyCenter all about it here.

Joe Basel, James O'Keefe, Stan Dai and more: Take the teabugger guide
Federal agents in Louisiana arrested four men in late January for allegedly entering a federal building under false pretenses and tampering with the phone lines of U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu. The four accused claimed it was a harmless stunt of hidden-camera journalism gone wrong, but the courts saw something more sinister. Collectively, the media dubbed them "teabuggers," though they're quick to say they had no plans to bug the senator's phone.
Joe Basel
Joe Basel, the subject of this week's feature, "The Rise and Fall of Joe Basel," is the son of a Lutheran pastor. Basel grew up in Mankato, Minn., a small college town one hour south of the Twin Cities. He attended the University of Minnesota-Morris campus as an undergrad, where he started a right-leaning monthly newspaper called the Counterweight. In college, Basel made a reputation for himself as Morris's loudest conservative presence. His taste for subtle political satire often landed him on the wrong side of an outraged student body and faculty, particularly the time he posted signs around campus that read "End Racism and Sexism Now: Kill All White Males."
Well known for: Bragging on Facebook about landing a date with Arianna Brown, daughter of U.S. Senator Scott Brown, only to have Arianna tell everyone she's never heard of him.
Role in the Landrieu stunt: Dressed as a phone repairman, he asked for access to the federal building's main phone closet but was denied.
National ties: Received a grant from The Leadership Institute to start the Counterweight, apprentice of conservative activist Ben Wetmore.
James O'Keefe
Born in 1984, James O'Keefe grew up in Bergen County, N. J. He attended Westwood High School and was a member of the Eagle Scouts. O'Keefe went to college at Rutgers University, where he became the editor of the campus's conservative magazine, the Centurion. In 2005, he and other Centurion staff members launched a campaign to ban Lucky Charms cereal from the cafeteria on the basis that the Leprechaun mascot was racist - a satirical jab at some perceived hyper-politically correct students on campus. O'Keefe found his way to conservative stardom last year after he released a video of himself posing as a pimp and receiving some creative legal advice from ACORN employees. The stunt earned him praise from ACORN opponents across the country, as well as the nickname "pimp."
Well known for: Playing key role in getting Congress to cut funding to ACORN.
Role in the Landrieu stunt: Waited for Joe Basel and Robert Flanagan in Landrieu's office, filmed it with a cell phone camera.
National ties: Worked for The Leadership Institute, apprentice of Ben Wetmore.
Stan Dai
Stan Dai attended college at George Washington University in Washington D.C., where he became editor-in-chief of - you guessed it - the campus's conservative newspaper, the GW Patriot. Dai was extremely active at GWU. His resume includes: member of the College Republicans, founder of Students Defending Democracy, Club 100 Activist of Young America's Foundation.
Well known for: Co-penning a short play called "The Penis Monologues," published in the GW Patriot in 2004. A sample:
It all began when I moved into Crawford Hall... I had a bad feeling about coochie snorchers. In the past, they had been nothing but trouble--big trouble. But then one day, I walked out of my building and met my "neighbor," Joan. Joan is a GIANT COOCHIE SNORCHER, a 5-foot-tall vagina with a black plastic wig on her head
Role in Landrieu stunt: Found blocks away with a listening device.
National ties: A Stan Dai is listed as the Assistant Director of the The Intelligence Community Center of Academic Excellence, which trains young'uns for a career in intelligence gathering.
Robert Flanagan
Robert Flanagan is the son of acting U.S. Attorney William Flanagan and the only accused teabugger actually from Louisiana. Shortly after his arrest, Landrieu told Politico that Flanagan's father ought to be embarrassed of his son's actions. "This isn't a child - this is 24-year-old, I'm sure his parents are terribly disappointed, they most certainly should be," Landrieu said. Flanagan is an avid blogger for The Pelican Post, where his byline appeared above an article criticizing Landrieu's definition of "personal responsibility" only two weeks before his arrest. Flanagan interned for Rep. Mary Fallin, R-Okla., who publicly praised O'Keefe for his ACORN stunt.
Well known for: The only participant in the caper to have his parents chewed out by the senator.
Role in the Landrieu stunt: Dressed up as a phone repairman with Basel.
National ties: Son of an acting U.S. Attorney.
Ben Wetmore
Ben Wetmore attended high school in Parsons, Kans., according to his Myspace account. While enrolled at American University in Washington, D.C., Wetmore founded and edited a conservative newspaper that competed with The Eagle, a campus paper published twice a week. Wetmore also started a Website called BenLadner.com, which criticized the university's president, Ben Ladner, and his high-roller lifestyle. In 2002, Wetmore was arrested by campus police for filming a Tipper Gore speech. He claims the university paid Gore more than $32,000 for her time, and he felt someone should document it. The school courts convicted him of trying to steal Gore's intellectual property, a stunt that landed him a guest appearance on "The O'Reilly Factor" and a place in right-wing activist pantheon.
Well known for: Mentoring young conservative activists, an oft-controversial blog, Benwetmore.com.
Role in the Landrieu stunt: Wetmore was not arrested along with the above four, but three of the accused stayed at his house while in Louisiana. Basel and O'Keefe have also called Wetmore their mentor.
National ties: Headed up the media faction of The Leadership Institute.

Dec. 5, 2012
By: Matt Burkholder
FRESNO, Calif.- The Fresno State women's basketball team defeated the USC Trojans 65-60 in a thrilling roller-coaster game on Wednesday night to remain undefeated at the Save Mart Center under first-year head coach Raegan Pebley.
Wednesday's game was a tale of two halves as each team faced a scoring drought and a sizable run against one another. Although, the `Dogs run in first half proved to be enough to withstand the Trojans second half surge.
"We knew it was going to be a 40-minute game," said junior guard Ki-Ki Moore. "Just because we had that lead, USC wasn't going to give up and we knew we would have to fight the entire game."
Moore scored 15 points to go along with seven rebounds in the win.
Fresno State held the lead in first half in all but one minute and 32 seconds. The Trojans claimed its first lead at the 8:43 mark in the first half before the `Dogs took the lead back. The `Dogs responded to the Trojans first lead with a 14-0 run to close the half while forcing the Women of Troy to 15 consecutive missed field goals in the final eight plus minutes.
In the first half Fresno State held USC to just 20 points on 8-of-34 shooting.
The 'Dogs found themselves owning a 25 point lead with 11 minutes remaining in the contest, but that was when the Trojans stormed back. USC turned up its defensive pressure and began pressing the `Dogs. USC held Fresno State without a field goal for the next 10 minutes and poured in 17 unanswered points in that time.
"Pac-12 teams are physical teams," said Pebley. "They're a team that has great size and plays smart basketball, but I look at more of what we did to allow them to set their press up against us."
The Fresno State lead was trimmed to as little as three points with 13 seconds left before an intentional foul was called against the Trojan's Brianna Barrett on Taylor Thompson. Thompson sank two clutch free-throws and pushed the lead back to five to seal the victory.
"Tonight was a total team effort," said junior guard Thompson. "There are a lot of things we didn't do that we can fix, and we know what we need to do to fix it."
Thompson led Fresno State with 20 points and efficient shooting from the field (6-9) and free-throw line (7-8).

The Second-Year Form
Use the Second-Year Form to notify Tarion of outstanding warranty items covered by the two year warranty or the major structural defect warranty that occurs during the second year of possession.
For example, if your home's occupancy date is November 8, 2012, you may submit a Second-Year Form to us at any time between November 8, 2013 and November 7, 2014.
Second-Year Forms may be submitted to Tarion anytime during this period and as often as required.
This form can be used to make claims for defects under Tarion's two year and MSD warranties.
