|Cell Line Description:
|CHO-Anti-Human SLC3A2 MAb stable cell line is clonally-derived from a CHO cell line, which has been transfected with an Anti-human SLC3A2 MAb gene to allow expression of the MAb. It is an example of a cell line transfected using our proprietary CBTGS gene screening and amplification system.
|Required for the function of light chain amino-acid transporters. Involved in sodium-independent, high-affinity transport of large neutral amino acids such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, leucine, arginine and tryptophan. Involved in guiding and targeting of LAT1 and LAT2 to the plasma membrane. When associated with SLC7A6 or SLC7A7 acts as an arginine/glutamine exchanger, following an antiport mechanism for amino acid transport, influencing arginine release in exchange for extracellular amino acids. Plays a role in nitric oxide synthesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) via transport of L-arginine. Required for normal and neoplastic cell growth. When associated with SLC7A5/LAT1, is also involved in the transport of L-DOPA across the blood-brain barrier, and that of thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) across the cell membrane in tissues such as placenta. Involved in the uptake of methylmercury (MeHg) when administered as the L-cysteine or D,L-homocysteine complexes, and hence plays a role in metal ion homeostasis and toxicity. When associated with SLC7A5 or SLC7A8, involved in the cellular activity of small molecular weight nitrosothiols, via the stereoselective transport of L-nitrosocysteine (L-CNSO) across the transmembrane. Together with ICAM1, regulates the transport activity LAT2 in polarized intestinal cells, by generating and delivering intracellular signals. When associated with SLC7A5, plays an important role in transporting L-leucine from the circulating blood to the retina across the inner blood-retinal barrier.

By Lori Wilson, WSB-TV
ATLANTA – A girl who was paralyzed when someone shot her while playing in a bounce house is getting some big help — from a music superstar!
Antoine "Big Boi" Patton, who's busy with the release of a new album and a new tour, slowed down long enough to show some love to Abriya Ellison.
"My brother saw her story that morning and was like, 'Bro, we got to do something for this little girl,'" Patton told WSB-TV's Lori Wilson.
RELATED: Paralyzed girl gets out of wheelchair, walks, shocks nurse
Big Boi's passions are music and the bulldogs he breeds at Pitfall Kennels. He wanted to give Abriya a puppy, who she quickly named.
"What are you going to name your puppy?" Wilson asked Abriya.
"King!" she replied.
Abriya was shot while playing in a bounce house in April and paralyzed from the waist down.
She just finished three months of intense therapy and fell in love with the service dogs at the hospital.
Now, she has a dog to call her own. One that her mother, Andreauna Douglas, said will help her recovery.
"She's been asking for it for the longest and I know that a puppy that she can take care of and now she has responsibility, it's going to do nothing but help her," Douglas told Wilson.
"I've been born ready for a puppy," Abriya said.
"One thing that struck me about Abriya is that her energy and her spirit was just up," Patton told Wilson.
"Now she's going to have to walk this dog, so she's going to have to get out here and get to walking," Douglas said.
"There's nothing like having a companion or a service dog, something therapeutic that you can love on, that can love back on you. She's been through a lot and to see how strong she is now, that was just like 'Oh my goodness,'" Patton said. "She's definitely inspiring and it just touched our heart, so we're just trying to do what we can do to help."
Big Boi and his brother James have agreed to take care of whatever vet care her puppy King will need.
They also agreed to pay off her GoFundMe needs for her medical bills and even pay to have her bathroom made handicap accessible.

The only thing I hope is that this Miami deal is so utterly horrendous that it finally acts as the tipping point for local governments to stop handing over millions of dollars to subsidize these billion dollar sports leagues. At least with baseball, there appears to be very little real possible markets that could sustain an MLB team available, unlike the NFL and NBA which are using Los Angeles and Seattle as leverage. But the state legislature in Florida has apparently not been very receptive to the Dolphins' request to publicly finance renovations to Sun Life Stadium. They're making noise that this may force them to move... We'll have to see how it plays out.
How long will that be? Doesn't the typical publicly financed statdium take a few decades to pay off?

Agreed. It looks like San Antonio metro is approximately the same size as Kansas City, Charlotte, and even Indianapolis.
It's been discussed many times, but the problem with finding a new MLB market is that a successful team needs to sell something like 2.5 million tickets every year. We're talking about twice as many games as the NBA or NHL in a stadium that seats about twice as many people as the typical NBA/NHL arena.
There simply aren't enough good alternatives out there for the Marlins, Rays, and A's. The Marlins aren't going anywhere. What I'd be interested in seeing is how the Marlins would do with their new park if they had a team like the Rays - which has been fairly successful/competitive on the field over the past 5 seasons.

Today, FINALLY, I got the keys for our office. I am so excited! It is really hard for me to wait for something when I really want it.
Now, there is still lots of work ahead of us. Tomorrow we are going to move the complete office (incl. our products) to there. We will get some help from Alan's brother Mark and Alan's best friend Ping who is experienced in moving because he helped us moving our apartment before. 😉
We checked out the available wireless network connections immediately but unfortunately no unsecure network. That means I still have to work at home the next week until the "internet guy" will come on 7.4.08.
there are 3 keys only for the entrance door (for security reasons)
plus 1 key for the mail box (the other 2 are for my home)

Early life and education
Kennedy was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to Robert Francis Kennedy and Ethel (née Skakel) Kennedy, the eighth of their eleven children. He is one of four of the grandchildren of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy born during the administration of his uncle U.S. President John F. Kennedy. His siblings are:
He grew up at his family home, Hickory Hill, in McLean, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C., and attended The Potomac School in McLean through ninth grade. He transferred to Georgetown Preparatory School in North Bethesda, Maryland, also a suburb of Washington; he graduated in 1982. While in high school, he volunteered at a home for runaway youth.
Kennedy graduated from Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science in 1986.[5] In 1994, he graduated with a master of business administration degree from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
Kennedy is chairman of the Kennedy family investment firm Joseph P Kennedy Enterprises, Inc.[6] He is treasurer of the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation, is on the Executive Committee for the Chicago Community Trust, and is a board member of the Catholic Theological Union, Interface, Inc. and Knoll Inc.[7][8] He is a member of the mutual fund board of trustees for Ariel Investments.[9] Kennedy was the president of Merchandise Mart Properties in Chicago, Illinois, from 2000 until 2012. The property was originally owned by the Kennedy family until it was sold to Vornado Realty Trust, a real estate investment trust. The Merchandise Mart, one of the properties of Merchandise Mart Properties, is the largest commercial building in the world, serving as both a luxury wholesale design center and one of the leading international business locations in Chicago. The Mart spans two city blocks and rises twenty-five stories for a total of 4.2 million square feet (390,000 square metres) Three million people come through The Mart each year to visit its retail shops, permanent showrooms, and office space as well as attend the numerous trade, consumer and community events hosted there.
Top Box Foods
In May 2012, Kennedy started the Chicago based non-profit Top Box Foods. The organization was created as a way to get discounted groceries to families who live in areas that either lack grocery stores or have an abundance of fast food. Kennedy initially invested $150,000 to get Top Box started, and subsequently designed the organization to be self-sustaining.
Top Box as an organization purchases food, boxes it in various combinations and then, once a month, delivers it to churches and organizations in mostly low-income neighborhoods. The food items in the box change from month to month with a wide variety of fruits vegetables, meats, and frozen meals with box prices ranging form $19–$39. The boxes can be ordered online or through the organizations that the boxes are picked up at once a month. These organizations, otherwise known as top box "host sites," range from small neighborhood churches with a few dozen families to some of the Chicago's largest, including Trinity United Church of Christ and Salem Baptist Church.
Personal life
Kennedy met Sheila Sinclair Berner (born December 4, 1962), an Illinois native, while attending Boston College. After graduating from college in 1986, Kennedy moved to Illinois, and they were married in 1987[1] in Illinois. They are raising their four children in the Chicago suburb of Kenilworth. His wife earned a law degree and practiced at Sidley & Austin[citation needed] in Chicago before taking time off to take care of their children.
Kennedy's political activism began at an early age, and in 1979 and 1980 he worked on his uncle U.S. Senator Edward Moore Kennedy's bid for the 1980 Democratic Party's nomination for U.S. President. He was also treasurer of the campaign committee for his brother Joseph's reelection to the U.S. House in 1988. Over the years he has organized numerous fundraising events in Chicago for his uncle Ted, his sister Kathleen, his brother Joseph and his cousin Mark Shriver.
The National Journal once quoted Kennedy as saying, "I have a lot to keep up with: a brother who might run for Congress, a sister and a brother considering races for governor, a cousin who might run for Congress, another in Congress, an uncle in the Senate and a cousin-in-law, Arnold [Schwarzennegger], who is thinking of running for governor."[citation needed]
Beyond his family, Kennedy has served in a variety of capacities for numerous political campaigns, including hosting a fundraiser for Barack Obama in his bid for U.S. Senate.[citation needed]
In August 2009, after considering a run for the U.S. Senate,[10] as did many others, Kennedy decided not to run.[11] Also in August 2009, on the day after his uncle Ted's death on August 25, 2009, Kennedy was appointed to the University of Illinois board of trustees by Democratic Illinois Governor Pat Quinn.[12] On September 10, 2009, Kennedy was elected by the trustees as their chairman.[13]
Kennedy has never run for any elective office.[12]
Business and economic involvement
He is on the board of trustees of the mutual funds managed by Ariel Investments,[14] a Chicago-based investment-management firm.
Since 1996, he has been a member of the Economic Club of Chicago,[15] a group established in the 1920s with the goal of aiding "the creation and expression of an enlightened public opinion on the important economic and social questions of the day".
Since 1997, Kennedy has also been a member of the Executives Club of Chicago,[16] which brings world leaders and practices to the local business community to establish productive relationships and explore the issues facing the business world in today's business environment.
From 1997-1999, Kennedy served as chairman of the Chicago Convention and Tourism Bureau, a sales-and-marketing organization promoting Chicago to the tourism and convention industries. Under Kennedy's chairmanship, the bureau retained and expanded Chicago's event-and-convention industry.[citation needed]
Since 2000, Kennedy has been a member of the City Club of Chicago, a group that brings together civic and cultural leaders to discuss and debate issues affecting the Chicago area.
Since 2005, he has been a member of The Commercial Club of Chicago, a group that brings together the city's business, educational, and cultural leaders on projects to improve central industries and create new economic opportunities.
Illinois Council on Economic Education,[17] an organization dedicated to ensuring all Illinois students are afforded an education in economics in order to be productive members of the workforce, informed consumers, and active community members.
Environmental leadership
Green Building Practices
Under Kennedy's leadership of The Mart, it was the largest building in the world to be awarded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification in 2007[18] from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). The Mart has long been implementing sustainable practices. The Mart Center began operating a thermal storage facility in 1986, capable of building 2,000,000 pounds (910,000 kg) of ice per night, cooling 71 buildings in the surrounding neighborhood, and saving $200,000 in electricity costs in the first year.[citation needed]
In 1990, The Mart Center began using Green Seal-approved green cleaning products and the next year implemented a recycling program, which today includes all forms of paper products, glass, light bulbs, batteries, aluminum and construction materials. In 1996, The Mart Center became one of the first major property owners in downtown Chicago to enter into an agreement with the district cooling system now known as Thermal Chicago, thus contributing to the national effort to reduce the discharge of ozone-damaging CFCs.
In 2006, MMPI joined Clean Air Counts, a voluntary initiative to reduce smog forming pollutants and energy consumption in the greater Chicago area. Part of the campaign strategies included utilizing only low VOC cleaning products, paints and building materials, as well as energy efficient lighting and alternative workplace transportation options. To date, The Mart Center has reduced pollution by 264,018 pounds (119,757 kg) for the largest reduction by a commercial building.[citation needed]
That same year, The Mart Center recycling program saved over 13,000 trees and recycled nearly 11 million pounds of waste, while water conservation efforts saved 5.5 million US gallons (21,000 m3) of water. More than eight percent of the estimated 10,000 people working at The Mart walk, bike or take public transportation; to encourage greener methods of transportation, the Mart expanded bicycle storage capacity to more than 200 bikes. In 2009, MMPI converted all stationery to a one hundred percent post-consumer recycled product.[citation needed]
The Mart has nine LEED-certified showrooms, with five others on their way to LEED certification.

Eicher 2090T - 2100T v1.0
When you buy the tractor you have two engine options.
Eicher 2090T - 90HP
Eicher 2100T - 105HP
You can also chose between normal and thin wheels.
Eicher was close to being backrupt several times in the last years of the companys existence. They tried a lot of things to keep the make alive and produce Eicher Tractors again. One plan was, to use the Same Transmissions and Cabins (basically the whole back end of the tractor) and put a Eicher Engine in front. But development was more difficult than imagined since it was hard to fit the Eicher Engines to the Same Transmissions properly. So only a few prototypes were made.
Instead, they started selling repainted Hürlimann tractors in between 1990 and 1991 in small quantities.
This Mod is the Eicher 2090T (the same as Hürlimann H488T) and Eicher 2100T (the same as Hürlimann H4105 Elite)
Both have 4 cylinder Turbocharged engines, the 2090 has 90HP, the 2100 has 105HP thanks to an intercooler.

Last week Steve Pratt put out a press release lamenting that the new sentencing provisions did not go far enough in protecting unborn children.
Yesterday he applauded the Government for "finally [taking] steps to protect the unborn child in the ACT" with their Crimes (Offences Against Pregnant Women) Amendment Bill 2005, although he did say it should have happened much earlier.
Mr Stanhope said the new legislation made assault against a pregnant woman an aggravated offence and recognised that a woman suffered great harm if she lost a pregnancy. The definition of "grevious bodily harm" is explanded to include the loss of or serious harm to a pregnancy apart from during medical procedures.
The Chief Minister "stressed to the Assembly that the amendments would not change the law with respect to medical procedures and abortions" and said doctors had nothing to fear from this change.
Weekly NewsletterEvery Thursday afternoon, we package up the most-read and trending RiotACT stories of the past seven days and deliver straight to your inbox..
I think that while violence of the kind that is going to harm a pregnancy is abhorent, this is skating on thin ice in relation to abortions and their legality. Sure, the Government may have included words to the effect of "other than in the course of a medical procedure", but it is only a relatively simple change to remove those words and make it an offence to do anything that causes a woman to lose a pregnancy. And, to me, that is a dark road.

ICYMI: Elliott: Recalling Bat Flip 1.0
Originally published April 4, 2016
By: Bob Elliott
It was the worst of times in Blue Jays land.
It was the very best of times.
It was both and then some all in less than an hour.
The Jays had played 55,762 innings in their 39-year history, including post season, when they began the 55,763rd Wednesday, Oct. 14 -- the seventh inning of the fifth and deciding game of the American League Division Series against the Texas Rangers. The score was 2-2.
It was a six-out inning like no other.
The Jays appeared set to lose an elimination game, the first ever decided by an action that takes place hundreds of time every night and almost always goes unrecorded.
Think for a second how many times you have seen highlights of the Jose Bautista three-run, game-winner and the flip ... and ponder for a second if the final decisive play in Game 5 had not been the Bautista bomb, bur rather Russell Martin's awkward flip to the mound which hit Shin-Soo Choo in the hand as the lead run score.
Could it have been the city's Billy Buckner moment?
Would it rank somewhere near the Toronto Maple Leafs losing to Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings in 1993 or the Jays Melt Down in Mo Town in 1987.
This spring four players independently described the disputed run as "maybe the worst moment in Toronto sports history," which covers some ground ... especially when you are in your mid 20s and have been here a few years. They were not there for Butch Wynegar's game-tying homer in the ninth and Lloyd Moseby's error in Game 161 in 1985 or Jim Sundberg's triple at Exhibition Stadium in 1985.
And then in the bottom half, three Rangers errors and a misplay saw the Jays even the score with two on and two out.
Then Bautista went boom, went flip and the city went ... well kind of nutso.
Like when Joe Carter won the 1993 World Series. Carter's homer was the first to bring a team from behind to win a World Series in the bottom of the ninth facing Mitch Williams in Game 6 of 1993. The top of the ninth? Duane Ward set down the Philadelphia Phillies 1-2-3 on seven pitches.
The year before Robbie Alomar shut up Dennis Eckersley and the imaginary six shooter firing into the Jays dugout in Oakland. Devon White singled and Alomar pulled a two-run homer to deep right in the top of the ninth, but in the bottom half Ward retired the A's 1-2-3-4 on nine pitches.
No inning we remember had so much drama, disappointment, anger, fury, followed up by such excitement and pure joy as the seventh inning of Game 5.
* * *
Top of the seventh
6:14 pm _ After Encarnacion homered off Cole Hamels in the sixth, reliever Aaron Sanchez takes over for Marcus Stroman with the score tied 2-2, facing Odor and throws a 98 mph called first-pitch strike.
Aaron Loup was pacing, not in the bullpen but on the second floor of Arlington Pediatric where his wife, Leighann, had been restricted to bed rest: "It was more never wracking watching on TV than pitching."
6:15 _ Odor slapps a 2-1 pitch to left, the 1-1 pitch from Sanchez was 100 mph.
Inside the weight room Kevin Malloy along with clubhouse attendants Steve DeBenedictis, Mustafa (Moose) Hassan and Pat Ross are unpacking two brands of champagne: the cheaper kind for spraying and the more expensive for drinking. They are unsure whether the five blue laundry tubs of champagne and four red tubs for beer will go down the hall to the Blue Jays clubhouse or out the door and down the tunnel to the Rangers' room.
6:16 _ Chris Gimenez bunts down the first base line. Sanchez fields and fires to first baseman Chris Colabello for the first out, Odor moving to second.
6:17 _ Delino DeShields checks his swing and hits a roller to third which Josh Donaldson charges. The ball kicks to his right, Donaldson reaches back without breaking stride bare hands the ball and fires a strike on the run to Colabello getting DeShields by a half step. Odor advances to third. If Donaldson doesn't bare hand the ball it's first and third, one out.
Donaldson: "The second bounce off the turf can sometimes kick one way or the other."
6:19 _ Martin catches an inside 94 mph fastball from Sanchez leveling the count at 2-2. Martin looks at third, as he has done a 10,000 times, to make sure Odor isn't going any where, drops to his left knee, flips the ball to the mound as he has done a million times. Choo isn't looking at Martin but rather he is routinely going through his between-pitch routine: he sticks his left arm out, uses his right arm to tug on left sleeve with his right hand. Martin's throw hits Choo's left hand, the ball trickling along third. Plate ump Dale Scott waves off the play and points Odor, racing home, back to third. Scott, wearing a mike and can be heard saying "No, no, no."
Fox Sports' Harold Reynolds gets it right from the start asking: "Why is the ball dead? The ball is alive."
William Humber tells his Seneca College Spring Training for Fans class in February "When you watch the replay, Harold Reynolds was right a lot when we know what is happening."
Rangers manager Jeff Bannister comes out to talk to Scott.
Martin: "First time I've been involved in a play like that in my life. I wasn't sure what the rule was. If he's in the box, there's nothing wrong. If he's outside the box, he's out. He was in the box. I heard the ump (call it dead). They got together and went over the rule. They got it right. You have like eight brains out there. You're going to get it right."
6:21 _ Scott gathers his crew Dan Bellino, James Hoye, Vic Carapazza, Alfonso Marquez, and Marvin Hudson. Scott covers his mouth as he speaks, like a pitcher talking to his catcher with men on second and third.
Upstairs on Level 300 former manager Cito Gaston and gold glove winner Devon White tell president Paul Beeston they thought it was a dead ball ... the runner should stay at third. Beeston complains to Peter Woodfork, senior vice president of baseball operations over the call.
Injured second baseman Devon Travis in his living room in West Palm Beach, Fla. watching the game with his brother Jordan, sister Jada, mother and father, Tammy and Tony: "How can we lose a game on such a basic a play as a throw back to the pitcher?"
Loup: "The wheels were falling off."
6:22 _ Scott rules the run counts. Out ambles John Gibbons accompanied by the first few beer cans tossed onto the turf below.
The cans hit the turf like torpedoes ... landing, beer spewing out one end and moving across the infield a few feet.
Scott would say later: "My mistake. I was mixing up two rules and called time, then it started clicking. I went 'wait a minute, wait a minute,' there's no intent on the hitter. He's in the box, the bat's in the box.''
Martin: "It wasn't intentional. He was fixing his elbow guard. I threw it back casually."
6:25 _ Gibbons returns to the dugout as grounds keepers, led by head man Tom Farrell, scurry about picking up beer cans.
Michael Saunders, David Price and Brett Cecil all hoot and holler at third base ump Carapazza, who ejects someone. Cecil leaves.
Sanchez: "If I get tapped with the loss for a throw back to the pitcher ..."
Chris Colabello: "I went over to the mound one time and all of a sudden I can't see Donaldson (he had gone into the dugout) so I'm thinking he had been kicked out. Guys were getting hot. We had to stay calm."
Director of stadium operations Mario Coutinho: "I've been there since 1982, from an emotional perspective, I can't remember anything like that. Fans were reacting emotionally, people didn't understand the play. Communication could have been better."
6:26 _ Gibbons comes out to talk to Scott as the scoreboard posts a message stating
"Fans are requested to refrain from throwing objects onto the field and from going onto the field during the playing of the game. Anyone who engages in such activity will be subject to be arrest and removal from the Stadium."
Of course all that means is more beer cans.
Gibbons: "A can sailed by me and I wondered if Beeston was aiming at me. Then I saw that the can was full. I knew it wasn't him."
Sanchez: "During the delay one ump came over, asked if I wanted to keep throwing, I was upset. I walked away, trying to stay locked in, I didn't want it to be suddenly be 5-2. I was trying to collect my emotions."
6:27 _ Scott huddles with his crew and agrees to review the play with the head umpires in New York as Gibbons heads to the dugout again.
Bench coach DeMarlo Hale: "We didn't know the rule, we were hoping if we could get to New York, someone would have a better angle on Choo's bat and say that the run would not count."
Odor scores under rule 6.03 (a) (3).
Sal Butera, longest serving Jays scout, not only saw the play once but twice: once when catching his throw to third hit the batter in the helmet and managing class-A Osceola in the Houston Astros system.
Texas manager Jeff Banister said he knew the rule because he did it, as a catcher, in the minors.
6:30 _ Scott tells Gibbons that the call will stand.
Gibbons protests the game.
Dalton Pompey was stretching in the weight room as the champagne was unpacked in case he was needed to pinch run and remembers thinking "If we lose because of that, this city will riot."
LaTroy Hawkins: "I went up top to sit by myself and catch a glance of what happened with the throw back. I stayed there the whole inning. There was a weird vibe in the bullpen. The guys were kinda in a daze with what had transpired."
Roberto Osuna: "We're in the bullpen saying 'we're going to lose this game, this series because of THAT?"
Mike Mordecai, Jays minor league instructor, watched from Bobby Mattick Center in Dunedin instructional league and thought back to his days in the Atlanta Braves system under Hall of Famer Bobby Cox "Infielders have to anticipate throws back from the catcher with a man on third, The Braves always spoke about the magnification of one play. I'm a Russell advocate, he has to come up out of his crouch."
About now is when Toronto Police began marshalling forces at Queen's Park.
6:31 _ Carapazza recognizes Saunders, who he had ejected, still in the dugout. Play can't resume until he leaves. Saunders leaves.
Dioner Navarro, Stroman and Encarnacion come to the top step of the dugout pleading for fans to stop throwing missiles. A woman leaves in tears with her grandson in her arms after a beer can splashes in front of them. Her daughter and her baby depart at the same time. Acclaimed actor Eugene Levy and his brother were in the same row. The "Toronto the good," does not look so good. Someone in the press box says "stay classy San Diego."
6:32 _ After an 18-minute delay Sanchez throws his first pitch to Choo, who fouls it back.
Malloy and his staff are working furiously even though they too may have been furious with the call. It looked as if the chilled champagne tubs had a destination: the Rangers room: "I'm taking the wrappers off the bottles as fast as I can. I am not enjoying it."
6:33 _ Sanchez fans Choo with a breaking ball.
Pillar "That was impressive for a young guy to stand around 18 minutes and then still be in control."
Bottom of the seventh
6:37 _ Martin leads off ... you wonder how often is it that the guy who makes what looks to be the worst error in franchise history comes back to lead off the next inning? Martin hits a 1-2 pitch from Cole Hamels up the middle as shortstop Elvis Andrus roams four steps to his left ... and the ball clanks off his glove. Martin is safe.
Hawkins: "I remember telling the guys 'it's not over' and the baseball gods are on our side. The first runner I yelled 'NOW WE GO!' They started to loosen up and positive energy started."
Travis in West Palm: "Here we go, here we go."
6:40 _ Pillar slaps a 3-2 pitch down the first base line, which Mitch Moreland fields, steps towards second and throws a one-hopper in the dirt to second. Everyone is safe.
Moreland did not have a throwing error during the regular season.
Justin Smoak, who had been in the on-deck circle, is called back to the dugout.
Smoak: "It was noisy, but everyone in the dugout was screaming at me -- 'get back in the dugout!' -- so Ryan Goins could go up. If it was one out, a man on, I was hitting. I wasn't going up to bunt."
Pillar: "I was 0-for-2 with two strikeouts against Cole Hamels, but I didn't get the whole hype about being World Series MVP until the third at-bat. He had me 0-2 quickly. It looked like Russell and I were going to trade places."
Martin: "I cut to the inside of the base path, to cut down (Moreland's) angle and his vision. It was something I learned playing rundowns as a kid with my father."
Like the first error it's looks as if, Munenori Kawasaki, David Price and Stroman are standing on trampolines bouncing and clapping.
Travis: "Here we go, here we go."
6:42 _ Goins fouls off a first-pitch bunt attempt as third baseman Adrian Beltre charges hard and Andrus rushes to cover third.
Gibbons and Hale decide if the Rangers are going to go with the wheel play, speed is the Jays best option: Mississauga's Dalton Pompey pinch runs for Montreal's Martin.
Season tickets holders help Rogers Centre security identify the beer can tossers and they are evicted.
6:43 Goins bunts down the third base line, Beltre fields, throws to Andrus, the ball beats Pompey and ... Andrus drops the knee-high throw. None out, bases loaded. Pompey helps force the issue.
St. Catharines' Randy Robles of the Elias Sports Bureau in New York does the research: it is the first time a post-season inning has begun: error, error and error.
Andrus had two errors in the inning. He had four in the final 63 regular-season games.
Banister told the Dallas Morning News this spring: "That wasn't an defining moment for Elvis. It was an outcome. He had a bad game. Players have bad games. We don't get to choose when we have bad games. They happen. We can all pile onto one game, but I think Elvis is a pretty resilient player."
Sandy Alomar, Hall of Fame father of Robbie Alomar: "Houston lost to K.C. because it didn't catch the ball, same with Texas."
6:45 _ Revere slaps an 0-1 pitch to Moreland, who fields crossing the foul line, throws across his body to Gimenez. As the Rangers catcher makes the force, Pompey slides in taking out the catcher's legs and down goes Gimenez. Banister argues Pompey's slide prevents Gimenez from making a return throw to first, he wants a double play called.
6:46 _ Scott puts on the head set again asking the umps in New York to look at the replay.
6:47 _ The plays stands, Bannister argues with Scott and then signals Hamels is done after 7 1/3 innings calling for ex-Jay Sam Dyson.
Toronto's Hyung Cho reached triple-A Tacoma with the Seattle Mariners, coaches with the Toronto Mets and was in the front row beside the Texas dugout, almost next to manager Bannister. Cho's good friend from Korea, Choo was in right.
"Any time anything good happened for the Jays, I cheered, I have to cheer for my team, my city," Cho said. "But at the end of the inning if I thought I (Choo) was looking I tried to look down, hang my head."
6:52 _ Donaldson pops up a 2-0 pitch but not high enough to be ruled an infield fly. Odor back peddles and doesn't get there as Pillar scores, tying the game 3-3. Revere takes his eye of the ball, returns to first and is thrown out at second on the force.
Goins was leading off second when the ball went up: "I thought the ball was going to be caught, I was close to the bag."
AL scout: "Andrus had a bad error fielding, another bad error covering third and Moreland spiked a ball in the dirt, but the worst defensive play of the inning was Odor back-peddling rather than turning on Donaldson's easy pop, it should have been an easy out ... two out bases loaded? Then who knows."
Gimenez: "It was so loud at one point I was standing there and my jersey was shaking. Playing in Toronto, the roof was closed, with 50,000 screaming hockey fans there. The was a great and cool."
6:54.25.20 _ Bautista hits a no doubter on 1-1, 97 mph inside pitch from Dyson to deep left centre. The ball sails into the noisy cauldron, Bautista admires the drive, his left arm drops to his side limply holding the bat, he puffs out his cheeks the way Vernon Wells used to look like a blow fish when he connected and them tosses his bat away like an unwanted newspaper from the front porch. Bautista's weapon was a 34-inch, 32-ounce Marucci bat.
Dyson had not allowed a homer by a right-handed hitter in 77 previous at-bats, giving up only one other after joining the Rangers on July 31: San Francisco's Hunter Pence.
Pompey: "I was beside Josh Thole when Jose came up, (Thole) said 'this place is coming down if he hits one."
Sanchez on Bautista's bat flip: "How come no one talks about Yoenis Cespedes? He hit a three-run homer for the Mets against the Dodgers at Citi Field." Sanchez smoothly punches into his phone and shows a vid of the Cespedes homer ... "look at that, the bat travels 30 feet."
Martin, spotted looking to the heavens and rubbing his hands together in thanks: "My colleagues picked me up, I don't blame Dyson for being unhappy. It was instinctual on Jose's part. It was an epic home run. It was an epic bat flip."
Pitching coach Pete Walker asks sheepishly whether anyone spotted him in the replay: "I was like a player. I was out on the turf -- the turf -- thrusting my right arm in the air."
Mordecai says there was "a lot of whooping and hollering" at the complex.
R.A. Dickey, Encarnacion, Navaro, Stroman and Martin are all out of the dugout onto the carpet jumping and celebrating like it was the city high school championship.
Dickey quickly returned to his spot in the dugout -- at the far end near the stairs -- where he'd been for the whole inning and with tongue in cheek says "I was in the same spot, I got up to cheer a few times, but went back ... you know the whole inning was because of me, where I sat -- if I hadn't been in that same spot we wouldn't have won."
Mike Shaw, travelling secretary, recalls passing Bautista stretching in the weight room 15 minutes before first pitch Shaw: "Jose, you nervous?" Bautista: "Don't worry, we got this one."
Hall of Fame candidate Tim Raines, an outfield instructor, said he was screaming when the ball was hit, adding "I get goose bumps talking about it."
Malloy is still taking champagne wrappers off the bottles. They have a new destination. Now his mood is euphoric.
Guelph lefty Scott Diamond saw the homer from San Pedro de Macorís playing winter ball.
6:56 _ Encarnacion takes off his helmet and signals to fans to quit throwing things onto the field, much like he had done in the top half of the inning after the Martin error. Dyson walks into the plate thinking Encarnacion is encouraging fans to cheer. Words are exchanged. Benches and bullpens empty as Mark Buehrle, not on the post-season roster, is the first to arrive. That's an automatic ejection but he was not kicked out.
Dyson: "I told Edwin, this can't happen. It needs to stop. He was telling me he hit a home run, or whatever. After that I didn't pay attention."
6:58 _ Some of the 100 policemen inside the stadium arrive in the Rangers bullpen and near the Rangers dugout for protection as 49,742 -- save for Rangers wives and executives -- sing "Jose, Jose, Jose." Fans near the Rangers dugout are ejected.
7:02 _ Encarnacion tops a roller on an 0-2 pitch to Beltre at third and reaches on the weak grounder.
7:03 _ Colabello lines the first pitch, a 98 mph sinker, to right.
In the 200 Level an usher we met at the homer opener was dressed in blue, his goatee dyed blue and ditto the back of his pony tail. His name tag even read Jay ... his real name .... Jay Gangursky, who predicted at the home opener he would wear blue in his beard until November. He was closer than anyone else the past 22 years.
7:06 _ Tulowitzki pops up a 3-1 pitch into foul ground for the third out. Standing in the batter's box taking off his gloves he is surprised when Dyson taps his rear with his right hand.
Benches and bullpens empty again.
Dyson: "I didn't say a word, just tapped him, on the butt. That was it, a nice gesture on my part, that's what I thought. He took it another way. Maybe I shouldn't have done it, but it wasn't anything to disgrace him, or upset him."
Tulowitzki: "There was definitely something said. It's over, we won. There shouldn't be any contact made. He gave up the home run, then walks over and touches someone, I don't think that's the right time."
Sanchez said: "Guys said 'let's go out,' after the clubhouse celebration. I said I was going home to watch TV and go to bed."
7:08 _ Order is restored.
FOX Sports goes to commercial.
The final totals for the inning: 52 minutes, 12 batters (four Rangers) four hits (one by the Rangers), four errors (one by the Jays), five runs (one by the Rangers), two umpire's replays, the benches and bullpens emptying twice, one arrest and a number of evictions from the stadium.
* * *
"I believe in the Baseball Gods," said Encarnacion, sounding a little like Kevin Costner from Bull Durham. "I believe that they watched the top of the seventh.
"They watched and they thought that was not the way for a team's season to end,"

Hawaii's Got A Rainforest. What's Your State Got?
When we think rainforests, we think Amazon, Sri Lanka, Costa Rica and Malaysia. I'm sure very few ever think of Hawaii. Yup, Hawaii is home to the only rainforest in the United States of America. The land covered by rain forests in Hawaii is some of the most diverse and rich biological ecologies on earth due to the fact that Hawaii remained un-touched for some 70 million years by any human contact.
There are actually so many kinds of rainforest that exist in Hawaii that it's overwhelming to consider all of the various different types. There are bogs, which are where rainfall is unable to drain and collects causing bushes and shrubs. Unlike the low-laying bogs, there are also Wet Forests which are a middle-elevation rainforest climate that include the canopy plant as well as an extreme diversity of different trees, palms and flowers.
The diversity of animal species in Hawaii's rain forests in so incredible as well. Specifically, snails and birds are among the most plentiful, interesting and biologically diverse in the population when compared to other popular rainforests in the world. Bring a pair of binoculars and maybe a fancy camera with a high-powered zoom to really take in all of the lush scenery and make the most of your journey into the Hawaiian wild!
If you are a lover of flowers, the botany of the Hawaiian Moist Forests is one rife with Orchids and gorgeous long-strung vines hanging from high canopies in the tree-screened blue sky. It wouldn't even be a bit strange to have a caterpillar fall from one of the high leaves into your hair– It happens all the time, depending where you stand. The vast diversity of even caterpillar species in Hawaii is enough to make even the greatest minds ponder with wonder and admiration at nature's abundance and glory.
Everybody I knew, including me had been of the impression that Hawaii was all about beaches, bikinis and gnarly waves. It turns out there is a wealth of biological and scientific wonder to behold, just off the main paths. Of course, always be prepared with the proper tools, equipment and information before embarking into nature, go check http://www.hawaiianlenses.com for details and more travel tips. The creatures that live out there find you just as foreign to them as they are to you. With preparation, the sights you'll find will be impossible to ever forget!

SOURCE: American Small Business League
November 25, 2008 08:00 ET
Obama Drops Campaign Promises to Assist Middle Class
PETALUMA, CA--(Marketwire - November 25, 2008) - The following is a statement by the American
Small Business League:
During the 2008 presidential election cycle, President-elect Barack Obama
made two key campaign promises which would have directed billions of
dollars into the middle class economy. With the election behind him, it
seems that President-elect Barack Obama has now broken his promise to enact
a windfall profits tax on the oil and gas industry which would have
provided a $1,000 emergency energy rebate to American families, as well as
his promise to end the diversion of federal small business contracts to
corporate giants.
Prior to his election, President-elect Obama made a promise to initiate a
windfall profits tax on the oil and gas industry to fund a $1,000 tax
rebate for families. The promise was displayed prominently at the top of
the economy section of Obama's campaign website. That same information was
transferred to Obama's transition website, www.change.gov, but was recently
removed in an unceremonious and abrupt manner. (Pre-change,
http://www.asbl.com/documents/Economy_Change.pdf ; Post-change,
In February, President-elect Obama said, "Small businesses are the backbone
of our nation's economy and we must protect this great resource. It is time
to end the diversion of federal small business contracts to corporate
Since 2003, a series of more than a dozen federal investigations have found
that every year billions of dollars in federal small business contracts are
diverted to some of the largest corporations in the United States and
Europe. Investigative stories by ABC, CBS, and CNN
(http://www.asbl.com/media2.php) have all found that billions of dollars in
government small business contracts actually went to firms such as Dell,
Home Depot, John Deere, Xerox, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, GTSI, General
Dynamics, L-3 Communications, Titan Industries, Northrop Grumman,
Rolls-Royce and British Aerospace (BAE).
Obama's pledge to end the diversion of small business contracts to
corporate giants has now been completely eliminated from the change.gov
The sudden elimination of these two issues from change.gov would seem to
indicate that large corporations are already flexing their muscles with the
Obama Administration and demonstrating their ability to control
presidential policy over the will of the American people.
"He hasn't been inaugurated yet and we are already witnessing the
elimination of policies that would have greatly benefited the middle class
economy in the midst of one of the worst economic downturns in our
lifetimes," President of the American Small Business League Lloyd Chapman
said. "I endorsed him, I voted for him, and I supported him and now I feel
betrayed. He is obviously already going back on campaign promises. I think
all small business owners should be concerned. Based upon the extremely
low priority that Obama has placed upon small business issues, it would not
surprise me if he tried to completely close the Small Business
Administration by combining it with the United States Department of

In the query letters you've reviewed you talk about including credits and the need to assert yourself as a 'bona fide'. So my question is what if you don't have any writing credits? Would you consider a first time author who had nothing else to hang their hat on but a passion for their craft? Is being a good writer enough? Also I write romance/ contemporary chick lit – so how do I prove I'm qualified to write in this genre? It's not like you can do a PhD in broken hearts, there's no Romance 101 taught in any legitimate learning facility that I'm aware of. To some simply being a woman whose experienced her fair share of love and heart break might be enough to make me a 'bona fide' for this style of writing but I more interested in what the industry standard is. If you're a first time writer, other then writing a good novel what else can one do to improve their chances of getting published?
This is a very good point and, again, makes me examine my own query letter–reading mindset.
In JJ Cooper's letter he says that his novel is a thriller about a military interrogator - this is quite a specialised area, so it's great if he has some knowledge about it, which he says he does - that is, he's established his credentials in this specialised field of knowledge. Likewise, if someone's writing non-fiction about, say, the life cycle of the bee, it's best if the writer is an apiarist or bee scientist. So the 'bona fides' really matters when you're writing the sort of book that people will notice a lack of real detail: novels about the military or the police, for example, even about championship tennis - it's hard to write about a culture if you're completely outside of it. The Devil Wears Prada wouldn't have worked if the author knew nothing about the fashion industry.
If you write chick lit, you're correct: you don't need the same kind of background knowledge.
However, regardless of what you're writing, the manuscript needs to be excellent. And most manuscripts don't get to be excellent if the author has not put a lot of work into them. So when I'm looking for writing 'credits' I'm not necessarily looking for a degree in creative writing - in fact, that qualification can sometimes make me run screaming away from the submission - but I am looking for some evidence that you haven't sent me your first draft. That may mean that you say 'I've been writing for five years and have started two novels, but this is the first I've seen to fruition. I've spent a fair bit of time with it, and this is the third draft.' And that, as far as I'm concerned (I can't speak for others), is writing credit. You've done time in the trenches. You haven't just dashed off something in five days and decided to submit it just to see how it goes. A lot of writers won't mention previous (unpublished) novels or stories but I think they should - it's part of their own story. And your own story is what makes you different from the twenty other chick lit writers whose submissions I may be reading on the same day.

Grand prize titled "Strength - The Tie That Binds" will be displayed in tunnel to US Capitol
Congressman Brian Higgins, NY-26, has announced the winners of the 2013 annual Congressional Art Competition, "An Artistic Discovery."
Grand Prize Winner - To be displayed in Washington, D.C.:
Nora Ramsey from Amherst High School, for her photograph titled "Strength - The Tie That Binds."
1st Runner-Up:
Isabella Woods, a student at Nardin Academy, for her graphite piece titled "Fear."
2nd Runner-Up, also recognized as the Best of Western New York:
Nicole Hahn, from Niagara Falls High School, for her acrylic artwork titled "The Mighty Niagara."
3rd Runner-Up:
Alexia Santiago, a student at McKinley High School, for her photograph titled "Birds Eye View."
Online Competition Winner:
Erin Gannon, from Nardin Academy, for her acrylic piece titled "Fear."
One piece from each Congressional district is selected to be displayed in the Cannon Tunnel of the Capitol Building.
"Each year we receive an impressive selection of work, which exemplifies the fantastic talent of local students," Higgins said. "We are proud to take the winning piece to Washington, D.C., to be displayed in our nation's capital, and enjoy publicly displaying all of the students' work both in the Larkin building and through an online gallery."
All artwork submitted to Higgins' office was displayed for the public in first floor lobby at the Larkin at Exchange Building. In addition, each piece was posted in a virtual gallery on Higgins' website. The public was invited to choose which pieces were best. More than 300 votes were tallied in the online contest.
On May 5, Higgins hosted a ceremony for teachers, students and their families where the top winners were announced. Nearly 40 students from seven different high schools in Erie and Niagara counties entered their artwork into the competition.
Serving as judges were Jennifer Swan, communication and administration coordinator for Arts Services Initiative of Western New York Inc., and Leslie Zemsky, a local artist and president of the Albright Knox Art Gallery.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (KABC) --On the day America's fallen heroes are honored, those who served in the military got a Memorial Day gift in Huntington Beach -- a free tank of gas.
Veterans were invited to fill up thanks to the people at Nuvision Credit Union.
All they had to do was show a valid VA or military ID at the Mobil Station on Beach Boulevard.
Nuvision staff manned the pumps while thanking service members.
A few active duty service members decided to help out and did some window washing.

Mother Nature started her landscaping for this comparison test 275 million years ago, when she washed a bunch of quartz sand with rusty water until the grains took on a pretty red hue and then cemented them together to form sandstone bedrock. Over the ages since, she hoisted this one-time sand pile upward by 4600 feet and set about sculpting it into a lofty lump that today's residents of Sedona, Arizona, call Chicken Point.
Not that most of them get to see this particular sample of her handiwork. Mother hid it well behind a spellbinding array of other rocks, all of which seem to have more appealing names.
Chicken Point is hidden but not forbidden. There's a trail — Broken Arrow — barely wide enough for one vehicle over most of its 2.1-mile length. Thrill-seeking visitors buy a ride in the Jeeps of a local tour company. But if you have a 4x4 and are willing to risk ripping the bottom out of it, you can attempt the journey yourself.
Hmm. Could we urge a six-pack of grocery getters up to Chicken Point without leaving 5W-20 slicks from savaged oil pans or embarrassing ourselves with a call for helicopter evacuation? Only one way to find out.
Exactly which SUVs? First, the all-important qualifier: The vehicles must have low and high ranges. Broken Arrow is a slow-speed trek demanding plenty of ground clearance and driver expertise.
The spring season has two all-new mainstreamer SUVs: the Jeep Grand Cherokee, now with Hemi power, and a Nissan Pathfinder built on Titan bones. Both have the climber's swagger. Toyota's athletic 4Runner is certainly right for the mission. The optional V-8 won't go breathless on us at altitude. The Mitsubishi Montero has intriguing off-road capability, too, including the ability to be shifted from rear drive to all-wheel drive on the fly at speeds up to 62 mph.
From VW, the agile Touareg might be pulled down to popular prices if we stay with the standard 237-hp, 3.2-liter V-6. We're aiming for a base sticker in the $35,000-to-$40,000 range.
What about the most ubiquitous SUV ever, 14 years as an American bestseller: the Ford Explorer? With two-wheel drive, it's as common as dandelions. Instead, we'll opt for AdvanceTrac full-time all-wheel drive and Roll Stability Control. The price? Uh, a blur of incentives lets you buy an Explorer right. And if these rebates were as predictable as, say, lunar cycles, we could pull them into our as-tested calculation. They aren't. We can't. Let's just say we welcome Mommy's favorite ballet bus to the climb, and if it can do a demi-plié on Chicken Point, there'll be high-fives in PTA meetings across the land.
At the risk of getting all Lewis-and-Clark on you, we hired a geologist to accompany us. Inquiring minds want to know why the rocks of Sedona are red, and why does that redness stop just beyond the edge of town?
Geologist Wayne Ranney explains rocks as if he had baked them himself. He helped us see that the red is really just a stack of layers about 1400 feet thick, situated partway up a much taller cliff. Look northeast of Sedona: The high ground is tan. Those lighter-colored layers above the red start about a mile above sea level; they covered Sedona thousands of years ago. Blame erosion? You could, or you could enjoy the carvings it leaves behind. From two fixed points just south of town — they happen to be old volcanoes — Ranney has calculated that Sedona's cliffscape is migrating northeast at the rate of one foot every 625 years.
The relatively soft rock — mostly sandstone — doesn't dissolve uniformly, however. Lumps and spires are left behind for our Kodak moments — the rock equivalent of slowly melting icebergs — and they are christened with fanciful names like Courthouse and Bell Rock.
Chicken Point is a formation still hidden in the background, biding its time as the rocks in front crumble away. In a few turns of geological time it, too, will be gone.
The rocks are melting, guys. Let's roll.
