From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser at the Coliseum
Throughout the A's five-game losing streak, and even before, a bigger bat than Yoenis Cespedes' – at least as far as Oakland is concerned – was missing.
With leadoff man Coco Crisp in a slump, the A's offense sputtered, so when Crisp showed signs of life on Sunday after going 1 for 20 to start the road trip, it was noted. And Tuesday, Crisp busted open the game with a bases-clearing triple in the fourth to propel Oakland's 6-2 victory over the Mets and snap that losing streak, the A's longest in more than a year. Josh Reddick added a two-run homer in the eighth.
"Hopefully this will jumpstart everybody," closer Sean Doolittle said. "Hopefully the hit Coco got tonight is a sign of good things to come."
Crisp entered the game batting .130 since missing seven games with a neck injury, and hitting just .123 since the All-Star break. His batting average dropped 40 points.
"It's been tough, I haven't been hitting well at all," Crisp said. "I'm trying to figure out some things to be successful and I've felt like these past couple of days what I've been trying to do could work, so I'll stick with that and see what happens."
All-Star Scott Kazmir earned his career-high 14th victory; he has allowed no more than a run in 12 of his 25 starts this season – and 20 of his past 43 dating back to last season.
"Where we're at right now, that's the last thing I'm thinking about," Kazmir said of establishing a career high for wins. "We've got to take care of business."
The Mets had knocked Kazmir around earlier this year in a game in which he allowed seven runs, six earned, and gave up three homers. On Tuesday, Travis d'Arnaud hit another homer of Kazmir, a solo shot in the fourth.
"It would have been really easy to say 'Here we go again,' but Kaz did a great job of coming back and shutting them down," Doolittle said.
The A's tied it in the bottom of the inning. Stephen Vogt singled with one out, Derek Norris doubled and Reddick walked to load the bases, setting up a sacrifice fly by Alberto Callaspo.
Eric Sogard walked to re-load the bases and to bring up Crisp, who'd singled his previous at-bat. The triple put Oakland up 4-1 but after the team's recent struggles "It felt like about 10 runs at the time," manager Bob Melvin said.
It was Crisp's first multi-hit game since July 8.
"He's clutch and he loves having the spotlight on him," Doolittle said. "Tonight he came through when we needed him the most."
The A's hadn't scored more than three runs in any of their previous five games.
"That was huge to get that big inning and just go back out there and attack the strike zone," Kazmir said.
It appeared the A's might stay in the runners-in-scoring-position rut they'd been in much of the month when Josh Donaldson struck out looking with the bases loaded to end the third inning.
Kazmir went six innings and allowed four hits, three walks and the one run. He struck out six.
Ryan Cook came in for the seventh and allowed a run (double by Wilmer Flores and former A's catcher Anthony Recker), but Eric O'Flaherty took over and with Recker at third after a wild pitch, the left-hander struck out Curtis Granderson. Since coming off the DL last month after Tommy John surgery, O'Flaherty hasn't allowed any of his five inherited runners to score, and first batters are 1 for 12 against him.
Luke Gregerson – who'd worked just twice in the past 10 days – had a 1-2-3 eighth. Doolittle – one appearance the previous 10 days – pitched the ninth to put win No. 74 of the A's season in the books.
"It takes a little pressure off us after losing five straight," Kazmir said. "We've got to stay aggressive and we'll be just fine."

In order for that to happen, I need to rebuild and recount a LOT of options here on the forums, as well as tweak out usergroups, permissions sets, board settings, and much much more. The recount/rebuilding could itself take me several days, as it's a slow process and my time here is limited. But I will get to things as soon as I am possibly able.
In the mean time, please check things out, as there are MANY MANY MANY more options here then there was before. Some will stay like they are, but many will change (likely becoming silver/gold member perks). I am not even sure of all of the options as of yet, as there are more pressing matters (like getting rid of those pesky guest_username_* things, and putting the boards back in the proper order).
If you find something that you do not think you should be able to find please PM me or Echoes as soon as possible so that these things can be fixed. If you find something that can wait, then feel free to mention here in this thread and I'll give it a looksee.
If you are having trouble logging in, then by all means shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll get you fixed as soon as I am able (generally monday - friday around 3pm est)
Posted 02 February 2012 - 09:54 PM
- one of the needed things will be a new logo... anyone wanna make a quick one that would fit seemlessly up there in the corner till I can get a proper contest going for it?
- Another thing will be skins, but again, that'll need to wait till everything else is worked out (sorry for ya darkskinners )
- Not sure if I can make it so you can reply to PMs but I will try. In the meantime you'll need to simply start a new conversation with someone...
- You have also lost all of your friends, and that is something I can not fix... you will need to re-friend people.
- Memberships are FUBAR at the moment, and subscriptions are not working. I need to manually tweak each paying member (most of you will get extended times, as I'll be using todays date as a starting point). if you are a paying member and are NOT getting your what-nots I need to know! (see below)
- Secondary usergroups in most cases did NOT convert (as in many of you benefactors & some of you gold members & board members). If you should be a part of a group that you are no longer a part of PLEASE send me a PM to let me know where you belong.

Mason Professor Named Outstanding American by Choice

Mason chemistry professor Abul Hussam was named an Outstanding American by Choice by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Hussam was recognized by Jonathan Scharfen, USCIS acting director, at a naturalization ceremony for 50 new citizens held Oct. 21 on Mason's Fairfax Campus.
"Through his accomplishments, Dr. Hussam has made an outstanding contribution to humanity. His work here at Mason has made a difference for thousands of people in his native country and beyond, and I congratulate him on this further recognition of his achievements," said Mason President Alan Merten.
Hussam received the 2007 Grainger Challenge Prize for Sustainability Gold Award of $1 million from the National Academy of Engineering. The award recognized his innovative solution for removing arsenic from drinking water in developing countries.
Hussam, a native of Bangladesh, developed the Sono Filter, an inexpensive household water treatment system, after discovering that the water in his own village was tainted with arsenic. The filter uses no electricity and is safe for the environment. He and his brothers have been manufacturing and distributing the filters in Bangladesh for about five years, and more than 30,000 of the filters are currently in use in households, schools and businesses throughout the country.
Hussam was also cited by TIME magazine as a Global Hero of the Environment for 2007.
The Outstanding American by Choice initiative recognizes the significant achievements of naturalized U.S. citizens. USCIS presents the award to individuals who, through civic participation, professional achievement and responsible citizenship, have demonstrated their commitment to the United States and to the common civic values that unite Americans.
Since 2006, USCIS has presented the award to naturalized citizens who have made significant contributions to both their community and their adopted country. Previous recipients include U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez, actor Andy Garcia and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel.

Lazio coach Vladimir Petkovic blasted his players after their friendly defeat to Getafe.
Local fans turned on their players during the 1-0 loss.
"The system doesn't count for very much. We have to improve individually and give much more to the team," slammed Petkovic.
"We are still tired and lacking the right mentality. This really isn't good enough and some players have to give more. I want players who give their heart and soul. We've got to work harder and anyone who doesn't understand that simply won't play.
"Will we bring in different players on the transfer market? I am focused on working with the squad I have."

What was your best experience in the field covering this story?
Family reunions and church and company picnics throughout West Virginia were wonderful. I enjoyed red raspberry cake, fresh tomatoes, corn, and beans. But mostly, I loved the spirit of family and community.
What was your worst experience in the field covering this story?
A mining company hired men to burn down some houses they owned in Logan County, West Virginia, but not all of the families renting the houses had moved from the block. I heard about one woman whose house was slated to be burned, so one of her friends took me to visit her. Initially, she was afraid to come to the door. She hadn't even packed her belongings.
As we spoke in her living room, she seemed panicked and nervous. I could see flames and smoke billowing up as the neighbor's house was being destroyed. Her house was next.
The workers clearly didn't want me there and tried to intimidate me as I photographed. I later heard they harassed the woman after I left.
What was your quirkiest experience in the field covering this story?
A mother bear came out of the woods and leaned over a guardrail as I was driving up a mountain road near Cabin Creek. She looked like a neighbor leaning over the fence to talk. I stopped, rolled down my window, and said, "Well, how are you?" Then I grabbed my camera as she jumped over the rail and stood in the road. A small cub followed her. Then another. Then another. Then another. The mother and four cubs stared at me for a brief moment. Then they scampered over the hill and disappeared. I never saw another bear the entire time I worked in West Virginia.

Complete Intercom & Paging Solutions
Regardless of the size or complexity of your office, an intercom or overhead paging system will allow you to notify your employees and customers, quickly and effectively, without disturbing other departments. A pleasant ambiance can also be created for your customers with overhead music, when the system is not being used for paging.
By assessing your specific environmental needs, AEGIS Concepts will work with you to determine the most appropriate audio and sound services for your operation. Whatever your company's audio needs, AEGIS has a solution to fit your individual requirements . . .and your budget!
- Complete Overhead Paging Systems
- Affordable Intercom Solutions
- Telephone Paging Systems
- Microphone Paging Systems
- Paging Speakers
- Horn Speakers
- Ceiling Speakers
- "Invisible" Speakers
- Overhead Music Systems
- Audio On Hold Systems
A small investment in the right office communications equipment can pay for itself many times over with increased productivity and efficiency and improved customer experience. Call AEGIS Concepts today to find the intercom and paging equipment that will best suit your unique business needs.
Call Aegis Concepts to discuss your Intercom & Paging needs: 586-226-2080
Overhead Paging & Public Address Systems (PA)
The right overhead paging solution can improve efficiency and streamline your operations by connecting your entire office or plant. Get information to one employee, multiple employees or the entire company with the touch of a button.
Overhead paging systems can also be configured to provide a "talk-back system" that enables the person being paged to respond. The talk-back function can even be setup to operate hands free.
AEGIS also offers a unique overhead paging system that will minimize interruptions and send messages only to those who need the information. "Zone paging" will allow you to contact one (or more) designated area in your operation while not disturbing other areas. This feature is especially useful in large offices, but can be practical in small spaces as well. Zone paging can operate with or without overhead music.
AEGIS paging systems can be configured with a wide array of speakers – ceiling, horn, hanging or "invisible" – and can be operated indoors or outdoors.
Intercom Systems
AEGIS offers all types of easy to operate intercom systems, for large, small or mid-sized businesses. The intercom can be integrated seamlessly into your telephone system, or the hub of the intercom can be installed separately anywhere in your facility for use with a microphone.
You'll be amazed at how streamlined, rapid and efficient inter-office communication can be when you let AEGIS customize an intercom system tailored to your unique needs.
Overhead Music
AEGIS Concepts can also design and install a music system to provide a pleasant atmosphere for your employees and clientele. Studies show that background music not only enhances your customers' experience, but is also is proven to increase worker productivity.
Audio on Hold
Statistics prove that callers experiencing silence while on hold are more likely to terminate the call than those who are listening to something. AEGIS Concepts can install an easy to use device that will create a soothing waiting experience for your callers.
The most commonly used audio-on-hold is music, but digitally recorded messages also can be used to effectively advertise your services while holding your customer's attention. We can create premium quality promotional messages – using professional talent – that are customized to your company's needs.
Ring Systems
Ring systems are used to alert certain individuals of specified activity within your operation. After hours, large facilities often use a night ringer, which broadcasts an audible signal through the loud speaker to notify of visitors or incoming calls. Another beneficial system we offer utilizes "distinctive ring tones", which can differentiate between ringing phones in different locations such as sales offices, customer service groups, and telemarketing centers.

Does my Workmate Like Me?Visitor's Question from a 21-30 year old Male
hello. i know this girl at work and she's really nice and i've liked her for sometime now. i heard through the grapevine that she likes me, so i tried talking to her but she always tries to avoid me and ends conversations quickly. i dont know whether what i heard was just bullshit. can u help me?
RomanceClass.com Advice
There could be all sorts of reasons for why she feels uncomfortable. Maybe her boss has yelled at her for talking on the job. Stranger things have happened! Don't look at her as a "potential date". Look at her as a "coworker to be friends with". Try just talking to her as a friend when you see her. If she avoids even just quick talks with 'hi' and 'hello', then something strange is going on. If she handles those well, start talking a bit longer each time. Work on this gradually. Your aim should be to get to be friends with her. If she hesitates at some point, it might be the work environment. Very few people will turn down a friendly chat unless there is some sort of pressure being put on them. That's part of why it's always important to start with the friendship first, so you can build that level of comfort with each other.

Keys craves 'strange as hell' collaborations
By Clover Hope
NEW YORK (Billboard) - Amid new ventures in film and
television, Alicia Keys is writing new material for her third
studio album. Though she has yet to record any tracks, the
Grammy-winning R&B ingenue is looking to experiment and expand
her musical style this time around.
Keys told Billboard.com. "I feel like it's going to have a lot
of political elements to it as well and be a bit more
guitar-driven. The sound is definitely going to be different,
but obviously the heart and soul of it is always going to
remain consistent."
Keys' next album will be her fourth for Sony BMG's J
Records and the follow-up to her 2005 live set, "Unplugged,"
which has sold more than 1 million copies in the United States,
according to Nielsen SoundScan. Her 2004 sophomore effort,
"Diary of Alicia Keys," has sold 4.4 million to date.
On "Unplugged," Keys collaborated with Maroon 5 frontman
Adam Levine on a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses,"
and on the new album, she is hoping to work with more acts
outside the R&B and hip-hop worlds. "I'd love to do some
writing with John Mayer," she says. I think that as a
songwriter, he's very thought-provoking."
"I'd also like to do something that's really out there,
with like Queens Of The Stone Age or White Stripes, something
just strange as hell, unexpected and interesting," she adds. "I
always like to collaborate with one or two special folks that
just take it to a new place. I have a lot of strange ideas and
Keys recently recorded three songs, including the title cut
and a cover of the Impressions' "People Get Ready" with Lyfe
Jennings, for the soundtrack to "Glory Road." The film
chronicles the 1966 Texas Western men's basketball team, which
featured the first all-African American starting lineup.
"Even though I was telling myself I wasn't going to commit
to anything because I wanted to take some time off, I was so
moved by (the movie) and I really wanted to be involved," says
Keys. "Beyond color, beyond being a black or white thing, it
was just a human story about struggle and about overcoming when
it seems the toughest."
On the production front, Keys is continuing to scout and
develop talent with her business partner, songwriter/producer
Kerry "Krucial" Brothers, for their company, KrucialKeys.
Brothers is working on his own solo rap debut.
"It's all about bringing forth new artists and young
artists that are fresh and have something to offer," says Keys.
"A lot of positive and wonderful experiences are coming up in
the future."

Butamax and Gevo Grapple With Biofuels Patent Case Claims
Butamax Advanced Biofuels LLC said a federal judge dismissed a patent-infringement case filed against it by rival Gevo Inc., while Gevo said today the dismissal is temporary and other cases continue.
Butamax, a joint venture of DuPont Co. and BP Plc based in Wilmington, Delaware, denies using the patented technology, Chief Executive Officer Paul Beckwith said in a statement today.
Gevo "has agreed to temporarily dismiss its lawsuit" because Butamax at the present time doesn't have a chemical plant in which to infringe, according to a statement from Gevo Executive Vice President Brett Lund.
Gevo, based in Englewood, Colorado, is a joint venture to make specialty chemicals with the oil refiner Total SA and Lanxess AG.
Claims in the patent suit were dismissed and Gevo can't refile the complaint against Butamax "until a final certificate of reexamination is issued" by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, wrote U.S. District Judge Sue L. Robinson in an order May 6 in Wilmington.
At least 13 patent cases have been filed by Butamax and Gevo against each other since 2011, according to court electronic records.
The case is Gevo v. Butamax, 12-cv-00070, U.S. District Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).

I guess they shouldn't have put their eggs all in one basket.Originally Posted by Bloomers;3778685;There are still many people who do not understand how in the world it can be anybody else's business what Tiger Woods does in his private life and off the golf course.
However, I think that the following article explains well how Tiger's actions off the golf course have adversely affected many in a detrimental manner and why they are interested in his personal life.
Woods Scandal Costs Shareholders Billions Updated: 3 hours 13 minutes ago
David Knowles
(Dec. 28) -- Infidelity has its price. Just ask shareholders of Nike, Pepsi and EA Sports, three of Tiger Woods' biggest corporate benefactors.
According to a new study by economists at the University of California Davis, the Woods scandal has cost those who own stock in the golfer's chief sponsors an estimated $12 billion.
The study, conducted by economics professors Christopher R. Knittel and Victor Stango, charted the stock performance of the top eight companies sponsoring Tiger Woods in the wake of the revelations stemming from his late-night car wreck.
"This is what is called an event study," Knittel said. "We looked at the stock prices of these companies relative to the market as a whole and tracked them accordingly."
Nike, one of Tiger Woods' biggest sponsors, has lost an estimated $1.3 billion in stock value since the car accident that lead to revelations of the golfer's infidelity.
According to Knittel and Stango's tally, Accenture, Gillette and Gatorade lost 2 percent to 3 percent of their aggregate market value since Woods' alleged serial adultery surfaced. Pepsi, Nike and EA Sports have lost over 4 percent.
For Nike alone, "that means roughly $1.3 billion in losses," Knittel said.

Floyd Mayweather told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith that he would be willing to fight Manny Pacquiao again, surprising news after a dominant win Saturday night by the soon-to-retire boxer.
After the fight, it seemed like there was no use for a rematch: the win was easy for Mayweather, and the fight was universally panned as boring. Mayweather's father and trainer, Floyd Mayweather Sr., said in a post-fight presser that there was no need for another fight between the two. But with Pacquiao's post-fight revelation that he had a torn rotator cuff, there's some boxing justification for having the two superstars face off fully healthy.[contentblock id=1 img=adsense.png]
However, it's somewhat complicated: Pacquiao's injury requires surgery that will keep him out of the ring for nine months to a year. Previously, it was believed Mayweather would retire after one last fight in September, the final bout on his enormous contract with Showtime.
If Mayweather and Pacquiao were to fight again, it would mean Floyd would have to fight again after that contract. That would open the possibility for Mayweather to finish his career 50-0, surpassing the 49-0 mark set by Rocky Marciano.[contentblock id=5 img=adsense.png]
The other justification for a rematch, of course, is the money: Mayweather vs. Pacquiao was the richest fight in boxing history, with a purse of about $300 million. There would be somewhat lessened interest in a second fight after Mayweather's comfortable win, but even if a rematch makes less money, it would still probably make a whole lot of money.
Whether the two would ever come to terms on another fight — they have a history of disagreeing — who knows.

Henri Cartier-Bresson is known as saying, "Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst", meaning you need to take that many photographs before an appreciation of how to make lighting and composition work for you as a photographer. Of course, this is considering a couple of thoughts, first of all either because of hobby or profession, you want to be good photographer. That is because I know lots of people that have been taking pictures for years, and all their pictures are about the same quality, since the first time they pressed the shutter. Secondly, the statement is not implying that a photographer cannot make a fantastic photo in any of the first 9,999. The primary difference is the ability to consistently make good photographs instead of simply hoping things will work out. The context is important as well, because when Cartier-Bresson was alive he shot film, so that number of 10,000 means true investment of effort, time and expense to hone photographic skill.
In this age of digital photography, I think that number should be more like 50,000, but the sentiment is still the same. The comparably lower cost of equipment, processing and access to knowledge makes it easier than any other time in history to become a photographer. What that number represents is the work required, not what kind of gear they use, or how many YouTube videos have been watched, only for the photographs that are actually produced.
In my opinion, many digital photographers follow a development course similar to this.
First is "the high volume snapper", trying to capture what the eyes and mind see in a scene. A good chunk of those developmental photographs that Cartier-Bresson spoke of are shot here. Lots of pictures are taken of everything including thumbs over the lens, sidewalks instead of people and blurry pictures of Bigfoot, (or maybe that was Aunt Karen?). I know that I spent a lot of time taking the same photograph over and over again trying to reproduce the view and mood of the real world in my image. The feeling of triumph that I got when I'd eventually get it, made me feel like I was ready to work for National Geographic!
Next step in the photographer's journey is becoming a "thoughtful shooter". As a "thoughtful shooter", the volume of shots is lower and there is more awareness of composition and creativity. I think this is where many amateur photographers really see and understand their development and growth, especially when compared to their earlier efforts. In many ways this is also the crossroads for photographers; until this point the amount of effort put into learning about photography produces an equal amount of improvement. However from this point on, a considerable amount of time and effort must be spent to achieve only a small or, if lucky, a moderate improvement in photography. Also at this point, you'll understand Cartier-Bresson's genius, not only for his photography, but for somehow knowing that it takes thousands of photographs, not reading a book or two, and not watching a few YouTube videos, just dedicated work!
The "journeyman photographer" is the next level in the evolution, and where the concepts of capturing and shaping the light has meaning, and becomes a part of every photograph "made". That's right, "made"… because at this point, we stop taking shots with whatever lighting condition, or scene that exists, and we instead use our skill to "make" the image that we have in our imagination, using the camera. This is a prestigious level of achievement, and in the digital age many people pretend to be members of this group, using post production tools like Adobe's Photoshop. The difference is that the "journeyman" will create in the camera, what the novice will spend some time to simulate in Photoshop.
An "artist" is the level when aesthetic, technique and style all intersect. As an "artist", you bring more perspective to photography than just being an application or a science used to produce pictures. As an "artist", it is about incorporating other influences in the world of creativity, and to expanding the options in making a photograph. The emphasis becomes creating photographs that are compelling and mesmerizing and communicating without verbally speaking. This is also the point when you realize, all that time spent looking through a lens has finally taught you to how to truly see.
I'm sure there is a level beyond being an "artist", that place in the rarefied air, where photographic idols create and display their work. As "artist", this is the only place that we want to be… where our work becomes a unique definition all by itself, to be admired, studied and emulated by other up-and-comers as they work beyond their first 50,000 photographs.

This course will cover all aspects of creating and using Google Forms. We will show you how to create forms, apply templates, share forms, embed forms and display form results. We will then look at how forms interact with Google spreadsheets. We will conclude with a show-and-tell of some spreadsheet techniques from Google Spreadsheets Advanced to get the most out of form data. Such techniques include parsing strings of data from checklist questions, auto-summarizing data, re-arranging or displaying only portions of data, and creating summary cells that will auto-email you when certain circumstances occur with your collected data.
Why Google Forms?
Are you currently using a spreadsheet to track information sent to you by other people? How are you inputting this information into your spreadsheet? Do they email it you and you copy-paste? Thats a lot of redundant work. Do you have people enter the info themselves into a shared spreadsheet? This is a real issue because people can easily mess up your spreadsheet or misenter the information. Solution: Google Forms. You can create custom forms with all different types of data entry: text, multiple choice, drop-down menu, checkboxes, scale, grid. The form can be embedded into an email, embedded into a webpage, or simply sent to people as a link. When a form is filled out the data can be automatically entered into a spreadsheet. The time savings are instant and everyone is happier!

Cuisine Machine Logo Revamp Project
This project is a revamp of a logo I did several years ago. Back then, my friends Ali and Tim Good were getting into the food truck business, and awesome, brave clients that they are, they let me convince them to put a giant artichoke on their truck! For their branding, I wanted their logo to act like a landmark. Because with some businesses, it's all about the buzz, and getting people talking, especial in our socially connected valley, is important. The logo did just that, and people used the iconic artichoke to describe the business exactly as hoped. I would overhear people at the farmer's market saying something like "try the yak burger at the cuisine machine truck, you know, the one with the big artichoke on the side!" and I knew that my idea had worked! Fast forward about ten years, and the company has grown quite a bit. Last year Tim and Ali stopped doing markets, and now they have moved primarily into the private party and wedding industry (The Flathead Valley is a great place to have a wedding and the industry is growing every year). Their logo did not need to fill the landmark role now, and though the food is still the same great local and organic fare, the look needed to be less funky-casual, and a touch more on the elegant side to align with their client's needs and compliment their current business strategy.
After much deliberation over the artichoke, we finally decided to keep the original fun and funky veg, just cleaned up slightly and turned to 90 degrees. Then I added some side flourishes to balance the look. I think this works perfectly for all the ways this logo needs to be used; chef coat embroidery, menu header, business cards, advertisements, and side-of-the-truck truck signage. Since we were going with the original artichoke, finding the right font was important. We needed something with flourish, but also something that could still be quite readable for use on the side of the truck. We ended up grabbing a license for this Typnic script and then making a few subtle changes, like loosening up the s, and disconnecting the capitols to give it a more open feeling and improve it's readability.

Degraded phenol questions - (May/26/2010 )
I've started doing DNA extractions with phenol/chloroform for the first time. I got good DNA concentrations values with A260/A280 values around 2. However, the A230/A260 values are around 0.8-1.
I started looking for a reasons for the low values and came across some information that indicated that phenol turns pinky-brown when it degrades... the same colour ofthe phenol I was using for my extractions.
So my question are these:
1) Is it likely that the degraded phenol caused the high level of protein in the final DNA extract or should I continue to look for other reasons for the low A230/260 value?
2) I am able to get a PCR product out of my DNA extraction with the degraded phenol, should be concerned about quality of the PCR product?
3) Is it worth trying to rescue the DNA extract by trying to remove the protein or will the DNA be too damaged by the phenol to make it worthwhile?
Cheers M
Here is an interest blog about phenol-chloroform extraction (http://bitesizebio.com/2010/05/03/practical-application-of-phenolchloroform-extraction/). It describes briefly what to do with the pink oxidized phenol...
Hope it helps.
Thanks Lsek for this link. It's a great article!

Only two miles from Sutter Creek on Highway 49, Amador City is the state's smallest incorporated city by area. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.3 square miles (0.78 km2), all land.
The city was founded in 1863 and was incorporated into a city around 1915. It was named after Amador County, California, which in turn was named after California soldier and wealthy rancher Jose Maria Amador, who, in 1848-1849, was prospecting an unknown creek in this historically rich gold bearing area called the Motherlode of California.
There were no known settlements until 1851. The California Gold Rush changed the landscape of California. Amador's most famous and productive mine, the Keystone, produced about $24 million in gold during 1853-1942. These prices would be higher using today's gold standard.
An abandoned brick building stands next to the Fleehart Store, a beautiful reflection of the stone masonry of the time. Also on Main Street is the old Imperial Hotel, another example of the beautiful brickwork of California's past.
A bridge replacement project completed in 2014 has beautified and revitalized the center of the city, providing patio dining at the Imperial Hotel, new public restrooms and improved access to the many quaint shops, wine tasting rooms and purveyors of unique, tasty comestibles.

Drivers heading into downtown Minneapolis will find a few ramp jams, namely at 11th Street. Look for crowded conditions on southbound 35W starting at 4th Street.
A wreck is still off to the left shoulder on southbound Hwy. 100 at France Avenue in Robbinsdale.
There's also a left shoulder blocker on westbound Hwy. 36 at Dale Street.
It's also heavy on westbound 494 from Lyndale Avenue to Hwy. 100.

I love Sean Lock's comedy. There is a however, er, however. As the owner of his previous live CD I was disappointed that he repeats some routines on this CD and that there are some sections where he is doing visual gags - the audience love it but the listener is left a bit frustrated.
Enough of the bad stuff though - this is a great comedian at the top of his game and I laughed like a drain... Four stars for the repeated and visual gags, but five stars for his ability to take you in to his world and leave one grinning like a loon.

In a strange turn of events, the NPD Group is making industry analysts aware that they are no longer allowed to provide, discuss, or reference NPD sales numbers with the media in interviews, Emails, notes, blogs, or just about anything else you can think of. Analysts that do release such confidential data will be subject to having themselves or their companies removed from the NPD mailing list.
It has not uncommon in the past for analysts to talk to us about NPD reported sales numbers prior to the numbers being publicly reported by NPD. Often times, the data provides valuable insight into where a title is going and how well it is really doing. Of course, it also is used by investment analysts to gauge the future of companies.
We suspect that NPD data will continue to be leaked prior to NPD reporting it; and we are not sure that all of the threats in the world are going to stop analysts from talking about NPD numbers prior to official release by NPD. Still, it will be interesting to see how NPD fares with attempting to clamp down on the data being released.

Becks' Paradisus RM Site Visit Notes (Lotsa Pics)
Posted 07 February 2008 - 08:11 PM
Hello Ladies:
We got back on Monday night after spending the weekend at the Paradisus RM. Had a wonderful time and loved the resort. Elisa and Perla (WCs) are WONDERFUL.
So, some notes and some picks.
Arrived in Cancun around 11:30, grabbed a cab to the hotel - CUN airport has a sole-sourced taxi service which way overcharges. If you go, have Perla or Elisa book you a car - its about 1/2 price.
Arrived at the resort - went to check in, but our room wasn't ready until about 3:30. However, the desk rang Elisa and she immediately came and spent nearly two hours with us, just showing us around and sharing anecdotes. (We had an appointment to discuss specifics with Perla on Sunday morning.) She did this despite the fact that they had a wedding that night for about 90 people. She also made sure we had reservations for dinner at the restaurants we wanted.
Spent the afternoon by the main pool - it's big and lovely - but we didn't see much in the way of waiter service - we got up to get our own drinks at the bar. Not my idea of fun, but totally manageable.
At 5:00 went over to the "Tequila Terrace" to see the wedding (we hid discretely in the corner). The set up is beautiful, and about as private as you could hope for - it's off to the side of the resort, beyond where sunbathers and beach chairs are. The Gazebo is stick construction, with white fabric (or in this case, white and blue, per the bride's request).
There is quite a bit of sea grass that washes up from the reef offshore (you can see the dark line in the background, but a tractor comes along and rakes it up. Actually, that night the tractor didn't show, so the hotel staff raked it up so it wouldn't interfere with photos.
They put a white runner down the center aisle, but guests walked on it to get to their chairs, so by the time the bride made her entrance, it was all sandy. I plan to go without.
The reception is held on the terrace just above the beach:
The table settings were all done by the hotel - including the really adorable shell centerpiece vases. The hotel has all of the decorations, linens, etc. on site, so if you like this, you don't have to bring a thing!
The dinner tables used up most of the space on the terrace, so they did cocktails on the dance floor and on the beach. They had an open bar, as well:

The hotel at night is magical - all of the walkways are marble, and are done like bridges over ponds and pools. At night they set little lanterns out on the edges of the walkways and they just glow. I tried to catch the feel of it.
FI and I tried a lot of the food. Generally, it was really good. The ala carte restaurants were outstanding. The buffet was... a buffet. The pastries were out of this world. At lunch, the outdoor patio restaurant is a mob scene, and the waiters are running around all over - our food was a bit cool when it finally arrived. They offered to replace it, but we didn't want to wait.
On Sunday we met with Perla to discuss specifics and possible pricing. She was actually very good about making sure that we didn't over-spend, helped us to customize a cocktail hour menu that was within budget, and helped us find places where we could save a bit by using different things. We want to have dinner in one of the restaurants, because it's going to be so warm out. In August they frequently close one due to lower occupancy, they are looking to see if they can confirm that the one we really want (the French restaurant, L'Hermitage) could be used. If not, they offered us the Mediterranean restaurant, which isn't as nice, and has a fountain-thing in the middle which would break up our group.
Here's a (bad) photo of L'Hermitage:
So, all in, we're figuring a wedding for 40-50 people, including the ceremony, a cocktail hour with DJ, open bar, cold seafood buffet and appetizers, dinner in the restaurants, and a 2-3 hour post-dinner party on the terrace with open bar and a DJ will run us just about $9,000. (That number doesn't include the rooms or the travel.) If we were to have dinner elsewhere, a plated meal runs $70 per person, which is one of the reasons we're so interested in the restaurants.
The bad-weather locations are okay. There's an interior gazebo that we could have the ceremony, and a large porticoed area just off the conference rooms where we could have the reception if it rains.
Here's the gazebo, the seats would be set up on the walkway that runs across the front (not in the photo):
Also, for our welcome event, we are thinking of using the Hacienda patio, and just hiring a waiter to pop around the corner and grab drinks from the lobby bar. Then we're all going to the Mexican restaurant for dinner where they will block off a section by the windows for us.
Oh, the other thing Perla did was walk us around to all the places that was really great was to wander us around and show us some of the floral arrangments they had - and what each might cost. The tables at L'Hermitage aren't big, and have really cute little tea-lamp lights, so we thought we might do something like this, which Perla tells us would be about $8 each:
So, I guess that's about it. If you have any questions, let me know. And keep your fingers crossed that they come back and let us use L'Hermitage.

Your plans sound so exciting! Do you know what you're going to do about music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception?
Since you're hoping to have your reception at the french rest I'm guessing that was your favorite for atmosphere...was it your fav for food, too?
We're probably going to have a 2-3 hour reception/dancing after dinner, too. Afterwards, I know our guests are going to want to continue partying...anywhere for that to happen that you noticed? Is the main lobby bar open late? Any music?
Last question (sorry!) - other than the seagrass that washes up, is the water itself pretty? FI really wants that caribbean blue ocean and I'm afraid he's going to be disappointed...
Thanks for posting pics!!!

We priced it with the very basic package and then have tacked on everything we want. Ultimately, its saving us money even though we have a greater per person fee. But the bigger packages had too much we just didn't need or want.
As for music - we're debating between a DJ and just hooking up an iPod to the sound system. There's a significant price difference ($1700 vs. $450). Personally I want a DJ, but I'm not sure its going to make much difference, so ultimately I'll let FI decide.
We want to have the cocktail hour on the terrace - we're working from their asian menu (sushi, tempura, spring rolls and something else) and adding on cold seafood - shrimp and something else, plus a few other things I wanted. We're also doing the open bar which is included in the base price for the asian menu ($18 pp), with everything we added it comes to about $35 pp.
The reception (dinner) we're hoping to have at L'Hermitage - we'll pare down the menu a bit to make it easier, and just go from there. We're not asking them to move furniture, change linens, make room for a musician, etc., so we'll make it as easy for them to grant this request as we can. However, if we won't have exclusive use of the restaurant, we'll do something else altogether. The food at L'Hermitage was AMAZING. We'll have the cake here too.
After that, we're back to the terrace, where we'll have little dessert things, and an open bar for a couple of hours.
After hours, the lobby bar is open late (at least midnight, but I think 2:00AM) and the disco is open until 2:00. The lobby bar is really pretty, the disco is nice, too, but it's enclosed and has a very subtle stale cigarette smell - of course, by then I probably wouldn't notice a cigarette right under my nose, so who cares.
The sea grass isn't that big of a deal. But it bothered FI more than it did me. The water is a beautiful blue - you can totally see the depth changes as it goes from pale to deep blue. Out several hundred yards you can see the dark of the reef. It's gorgeous!

Geysers were first reported at Beowawe in 1869, three years before Yellowstone became the world's first national park. In 1934, an extensive study revealed that the area contained at least 50 hot springs, many of which were capable of eruption. Geothermal exploration programs initiated in the 1950s caused the decline of many of the hydrothermal features, while a geothermal power plant destroyed the remainder. By 1987, all hot spring activity had ended at Beowawe.

To find out about a drug, just type the name or DIN (drug identification number) into the search box or try our alphabetical listing below.
Isotretinoin is a vitamin A derivative that belongs to the class of medications called retinoids. Retinoids are usually used to treat skin problems. Isotretinoin is used to treat severe types of acne, such as nodular or inflammatory acne, where other medications with less potential for severe side effects have failed to help. It may also be used to treat acne conglobata and recalcitrant acne.
Isotretinoin helps to reduce sebum production, which is often associated with bacteria that contributes to acne. In many cases, it can produce remission of the acne condition.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
The usual starting daily dose is 0.5 mg per kilogram of body weight taken daily for a period of 2 to 4 weeks. Based on body weight, severity of acne, and your response to the medication, your doctor will then adjust your dose. Isotretinoin should be taken as a single dose or in 2 divided doses during the day.
Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
Your acne may get worse temporarily, before it gets better. Your doctor will adjust your daily dose after the initial treatment to between 0.1 mg and 1 mg per kilogram of body weight depending on your response to the medication.
Food increases the amount of medication available to the body. It also helps to reduce upset stomach. For these reasons, isotretinoin medication should be taken with food
The first signs of healing usually occur after 2 to 3 weeks of treatment, however, it may take 1 or 2 months before you see beneficial effects. The complete course of treatment usually lasts 12 to 16 weeks. Most people with severe acne notice a marked improvement after 1 or 2 courses of treatment. You may continue to see even more improvement in your acne condition for several months after you have stopped taking the medication.
If any of your side effects do not clear up in a few weeks after you stop taking your medication, speak to your doctor. Be sure to read the patient information that comes with each package of medication.
It is important that this medication be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store this medication at room temperature, in the original package, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

ATLANTA - A teen has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for an armed robbery that ended in the victim using her toes to type messages summoning help.
A Fulton County judge Tuesday sentenced 19-year-old Dontavius Jackson in the 2010 attack. He was found guilty of armed robbery, aggravated battery and other charges.
Authorities say Jackson broke into Amy Windom's home, beat her and forced her from room to room as he stole electronics, money and her ATM card. Authorities say he tied her to her bed, stole her car and fled.
Authorities say Windom was able to use her toes to message her boyfriend on her nearby laptop to call for help. Police found her in her bed, where she had been bound for more than five hours.

I finished the front and back of the vest. It was not nearly as difficult as I first imagined. I certainly did learn a lot though. I tried out the mattress stitch as several of you recommended and it works like a charm. Even my wife was impressed with how slick it works when you pull on the ends and she has been an embroiderer and cross-stitch guru for 40 years.
Should I block the vest parts before I join them together? If so, should I just spritz them, or steam them, or dunk them? It's 100% pure virgin wool (Fishermen's Wool).
As always, thanks for all the help!
Block! By whatever means you
Block! By whatever means you are more comfortable with. I myself prefer dunking but hey, whatever works. But I do suggest pre-construction side by side so your seams match in length. Before you put it all together your seam edges will block out nicely to match everything else for the initial block. If you wait until after seaming you will notice the seam won't block as freely due I the stitching and joining of two edges. Also, god forbid your fiber does something crazy upon wetting nd I unsuitable (I've never had this happen so take a deep breath.) it would be easier to take apart and re-adjust now rather than try to cut out seams before ripping back.
It looks great and will be even sharper when dried an worn I'm sure.
Argh... The last comment I
Argh... The last comment I left was made on my Iphone and it won't let me edit any of those wonderful things it changed my intended words too. Sorry about that.
As I said, I've never had anything horrible happen, just seen a couple of things others have done. Mainly, the thing ti remember is lace grows... This isn't lace so all should be wonderful. I want it to be wonderful for you and am glad that so far you've had fun with a larger fitted project.
Have a great Sunday,
I would block. As AKQGuy I'm
I would block. As AKQGuy I'm a dunker, but, other methods work so choose what you like.
Certainly you block! That is
Certainly you block! That is a given.
"just spritz them, or steam them, or dunk them?" Yes. It doesn't matter too much, as long as there is some moisture involved. Use whatever method seems to work for you best. You can block separately, but be sure they are each pinned out to the correct measurements, or you can baste them together and block. It might be easier to handle separately. Your seaming is then much easier to do when your pieces lay flat and are not curling up on you, and when they are the same length!
The mattress stitch is an amazing thing! After joining, you will do the finishing around the armholes and the neck. And then you do the blocking once more at the end. I tend to prefer soaking in a warm soapy bath to get the wool really wet and allow complete relaxation into the final configuration. It will look amazing!
You will get faster at it and
You will get faster at it and the curled edges will be flatter after blocking. I like soaking for 20 to 30 minutes in a product called non other then Soak. You don't have to rinse it out and it leaves pleasant scent. I like that it cleans the yarn and will usually fix most uneven stitches and lattering which I'm not sure just spritzing would.
Good luck and looks great so far.
Blocking to the exact same
Blocking to the exact same length makes sewing easier...
I pull all the sheets back on
I pull all the sheets back on the spare bed and lay a couple towels out and tack down their corners to block large items. That may give you more of the needed room to block them both if you have a guest bedroom or kid off to college bedroom.

This case is one of those situations where I wonder what lawyer thought it was okay to forge ahead with filing this suit. I am hoping it is, as usual, one of those "the media makes it look simpler than it really is" situations. But the media here is Findlaw.com so hmm . . . the facts might really be what they say it is. Either way, one thing is clear. Diddy was right when he sang the hit single "Mo' Money Mo'Problems."
"There are plenty of valid reasons for suing P Diddy, or Sean Combs. Constantly changing his name. Appearing in a hundred videos and just saying, "uh huh, yeah." His VH1 series I Want to Work for Diddy.
But conspiring with Rodney King to bring down the World Trade Center on September 11th? Questionable. But that's just what happened according to Valerie Joyce Wilson Turks, RadarOnline reports. She also alleges that P Diddy date raped her 24 years ago. In addition, she claims that she dated P Diddy, and they have a son named Cornelius Wilson who is 23.
The P Diddy lawsuit is seeking $1 trillion, $900 billion for child support and $100 billion in damages, according to the complaint obtained by RadarOnline. It's like they say, aim for the moon, even if you miss you might land small settlement for nuisance value. Though it would have been more sensible to see Diddy sued after getting some of his cologne in her eye or something. . ." Findlaw.com has the full story.

More People Would Choose iPhone 5 Over iPad Mini
Michael Harper for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
There is no shortage of charts, graphs, slides and visualizations which support the claim that Apple is sitting proudly at the top of their game and only getting better. If you´re looking for real world data to this effect rather than analyst notes and a sundry of statistics, consider this point: People are excited about the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini. In fact, many are putting aside some cash to purchase these devices whenever Apple announces them later this year.Here´s the catch: Apple hasn´t announced a release date. They haven´t announced a press event. They haven´t even used the words iPhone 5 or iPad Mini in a public space, and yet, we mostly assume that we´ll probably see some new, 8-inch-ish iPads and 4-inch-ish iPhone 5s underneath the Christmas tree this year. We´re already wetting ourselves in anticipation for devices which, for all we know, will never exist.
Now, we see what could be confirmation of this excitement from a new and unlikely source, CouponCodes4U.com.
It´s not entirely clear why a coupon site would benefit from conducting this survey, especially since Apple doesn´t offer any online coupons or deals on their products, but the resulting, broad data is interesting to speculate upon.
According to their 1,900 participants, 78% say they would choose the iPhone 5 – a name which causes those in the tech crowd to cringe – over the iPad Mini.
These participants said they´d be more likely to use an iPhone over the new iPad, with 46% of participants calling the iPad Mini "Pointless," an interesting summation, considering the device doesn´t even exist.
Of these participants, a sweeping majority (76%) said they already own an Apple product. 64% of them own an iPhone, 39% said they own an iPad, and even 31% said they own an iPod.
This study isn´t a hands-down, proof positive prediction of what may happen if Apple releases these products this year, of course, but it is fun to talk about.
All told, these results seem to make a lot of sense.
To be fair, we´ve been waiting for an iPhone 5 for well over a year now. This whole iPad Mini nonsense is recent news. We´re not yet convinced we need a smaller iPad. We´ve yet to get our hands on one, to understand just how it could fit into our daily lives.
As with every Apple product, particularly the iDevices, we need to get our hands on one and take the plunge before we realize we can´t live without them. We took the iPhone plunge years ago. We know how it works. We know how powerful the device is and how transformative in can be. Bigger screen, faster connectivity and a new form factor? Where do we sign up?
An iPad Mini, on the other hand, has yet to impress us. Sure, we´ve had a chance to get to know the regular ol´ iPad. We´ve had time to fall in love with Apple´s tablet, and oh how we fell. This iPad Mini is an entirely different device, however.
When the iPad first arrived in 2010, we were all asking ourselves the same question: "So, it´s just a bigger iPod Touch?"
Of course, we found out that it´s so much more. Besides, what´s so wrong with a bigger iPod Touch?
It´s likely we´re all asking ourselves the same question about the iPad Mini.
"So, is it a slightly bigger iPhone or a slightly smaller iPad?"
We aren´t yet sure where this device fits, and yet, we´re being told by analysts, the media and pundits alike that Apple needs to make this thing to capture the market.
It´s very possible Apple does, in fact, need to expand into this market, if for no other reason than to make sure any human being with cash in hand is able to leave Apple´s store with some sort of glass-fronted slab of any size to meet whatever need they may have in their life. If Apple keeps the iPod Touch around, (and it´s likely the will) they´ll have a solution of multiple sizes for their customers, ranging from 1.5-inch square nano to the 9.7-inch iPad Classic. Just as we quickly realized how important it was for us to have the iPad, it´s likely we´ll soon realize how important it is for us to have an iPad Mini as well.

Really, what better name could there be for a gay sports bar than "Nellie's"?
You can thank Douglas Schantz's great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother, the eponymous inspirations for the newest addition to D.C.'s nightlife. After more than a year of remodeling — and community-wide marketing — the hot-topic bar is finally ready for visitors.
Don't worry, says Schantz, you don't have to be a sports fan to enjoy Nellie's atmosphere — though sports fans and athletes will likely find a lot to enjoy. From the racquets, bats, oars and clubs that decorate Nellie's walls to the ubiquitous wide-screen televisions throughout both floors.
Even the bathrooms are in on the act, sporting sinks from D.C.'s long-demolished Griffith Stadium, home of the Washington Senators baseball team.
While there's a lot for the fan of pro sports to watch at Nellie's, Schantz also plans to make the restaurant and bar a destination for local gay and lesbian athletes. The walls of the dining area are "a blank canvas right now that will be filled" with photos of local teams. Soon the tabletops will also feature information and memorabilia from sports teams and organizations.
Nellie herself gazes down over the bar, where a sculpted team of terriers whimsically stands guard along the rail. Upstairs has the vibe of an English pub, while an outdoor deck will debut this fall in time for football season.
From weekend warriors to occasional mini-golfers, Nellie's looks to have all the bases covered.
Nellie's Sports Bar is located at 900 U St. NW, and daily from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. — open to 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturday, plus open at 10 a.m. on weekends). For more information visit www.nelliessportsbar.com.

The former Fiorentina midfielder represented his country 31 times.
And Perth coach David Mitchell expects Amaral to fit in after his impressive displays during an off-season tour of Indonesia.
"Amaral is a wonderful footballer, he's the type of player we've been missing in the last couple of seasons," Mitchell said.
"His interplay with the rest of the team after just a short time is outstanding and all the lads have taken to him straight away and can see that he is a special player. He will be a terrific addition to the squad and Glory fans will definitely enjoy watching him play.
"He has a real presence about him while also bringing a calming influence when on the ball. There are very few players in the A-League who play the same position that have his awareness and ability."
The 35 year old must await visa approval before officially joining up with the Perth squad.
"I am very happy to be part of the group and feel like I am part of a big family," Amaral said.
"The manager and players were very friendly and welcoming and I already feel like I have been playing for Perth Glory for a long time.
"I think the manager and players are very strong and that we have a big chance of making this an excellent A-League season for the Glory."

The result of "$ ping 184.108.40.206" was "Network is > unreachable" :-( i've never seen that error out of ifconfig before, and can't even find it in the source code for the program. okay, while you're waiting for the knoppix cd, how about you try this: - in /etc/interfaces, take out all lines mentioning eth0, then put the following in: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.111 netmask 255.255.255.0 and then just reboot the whole machine, and see if you get an address out of ifconfig when you get back to a prompt. also, i just have to ask--have you tried this with another cable, and have you tried this in one of the ports on the hub that you know to work? sean
