Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World" that lifted the New York Giants to a historic comeback over the Brooklyn Dodgers and into the 1951 World Series is remembered as one of the most important home runs ever hit.
But one home run supersedes Thomson's in the viewpoint of USA TODAY columnist Christine Brennan — Hank Aaron's 715th on April 8, 1974. Many readers agree, based on results of our survey. From Brennan's list of top five home runs all-time, we asked:
"Aaron's No. 1 in nearly everybody's book," commented reader Dink Hodges of Galveston Island, Texas.
Speaking of No. 1, reader Richard Beirne of Galesville, Wis., offered this interesting tidbit about Aaron's first home run:
"He was in the Milwaukee Braves' lineup because Bobby Thomson was injured. (Yes, that Bobby Thomson.)"
True enough.
Thomson, who was traded to the Braves in 1954, broke an ankle in a spring training game against the New York Yankees and was replaced in the Braves lineup by Aaron. The rookie hit his first home run on April 23, 1954, off Vic Raschi of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Aaron hit the last of his 755 homers on July 20, 1976 — at County Stadium in Milwaukee.
"Aaron's life has been an inspiration for many," Beirne added. "A great ball player and a great man who transcends the mere athlete as performer on the field."

text: I've been out of the loop for a while. Sorry for the noob questions, but not sure where to look exactly. My basic Tivo based DVR in my bedroom (HR10-250) just died about a week ago. I think it just does HD OTA. I cycled the power and the message comes up "Powering UP, Please Wait". Well the message was something like that. Then it just keeps clicking at about 1hz. So I'm guessing something finally died in it. Maybe the hard drive. Anyway, I guess I need a replacement DVR now. My main one, in the living room, is a HR20-100. I guess I could migrate that to the bedroom and get a new one for the main living room location. Any good suggestions on what to get? I'd rather not start a new contract commitment.

Future Mayor Plans To Turn Paris' Abandoned Subways Into Entertainment Venues
Mayoral candidate Nathalie Kosciusk-Morizet has proposed to turn the city's ghost stations into a restaurant, nightclub, and even a theater.
Nathalie Kosciusk-Morizet, mayoral candidate for Paris, has revealed her proposal for plans to transform some of the city's abandoned subway stations or "ghost stations" into entertainment venues for the locals and tourists.
Paris architect Manal Rachdi and architectural planner Nicolas Laisné designed several projects that will help Parisians reclaim these abandoned spaces and put them to good use.
Some of the imagined projects include a theater, a swimming pool, a restaurant, and a club.
If elected, Kosciusk-Morizet also plans to launch a co-creation platform to encourage Parisians to submit their own proposals for the underground spaces.
Check out some of the proposed spaces below:

I did ED with my Jerez Black M3. I took utmost care while in Europe to maintain the paint, even putting a layer of sealant on it before I left the Welt! Unfortunately, it arrived back in the States all scratched up like someone took it through the car wash. I did PCD redelivery, and I know it wasn't them (see below). But somehow it was in fairly rough shape and took me a solid day of compounding and polishing to make it look new again. Once it was in that state, I used care and good washing techniques to keep it scratch free for a year, until I sold it.
For my new car, an ActiveHybrid 3 in Black Sapphire Metallic, I just took normal delivery via PCD. PCD did a wonderful job and there were virtually zero fine scratches or marks. I did some very minor compounding/polishing to get a few stray, light scratches out of the BSM painted surfaces.
The worst area was the gloss black B-pillars!
Then I applied sealant and wax, and now it is flawless.
Since the car is now perfect, I fully expect to be able to maintain this level of scratch-free paint. I'll be the only one to wash it, and I use the proper methods.
It's only a nightmare to maintain if you don't start with a perfect car, and/or take it to a car wash or the dealer.

I did not know what forum to put this. Move if you feel like it.
A Little Gun Control History Lesson.
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million
Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million
political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000
Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million 'educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300
percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the
criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
It will never happen here? I bet the Aussies said that too!
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed .
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians
disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes,
gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind him of this history lesson.
With Guns...........We Are "Citizens".
Without Them........We Are "Subjects".
During W.W.II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
Note: Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the attack on Peal Harbor had attended Harvard U 1919-1921 & was Naval Attaché to the U. S. 1925-28. Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor & our Army had been deprived of funding & was ill prepared to defend the country.
It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up the Pearl
Harbor attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland, his reply was that he had lived in the U. S. & knew that almost all households had guns.
If you value your freedom, Please spread this anti-gun control message to all your friends
An excellent reminder that an armed society is a free society.

The Snopes article sounds like it was written by the Brady Bunch!!
Oh, but all of those exterminations took place last century! We are so much more evolved and sophisticated now! That would never happen here! And as far as Australia goes....... Wasn't that continent originally populated as a penal colony? It's just in their genes!
** Sarcasm off**
Infowars- Proving David Hannum right on a daily basis
Snopes has been wrong before.
It's also not the first time I've seen Snopes try to explain away something they aren't comfortable with. You'll often see them list the status as "multiple" when they aren't pleased with the status.
Tad A.
I have seen this information before in email. I would like to see the reference footnotes on each instance of implemented gun control (just cite source) it would add that much more credibility to an already significant message.
Also, the mass killings in Soviet Russia; Communist China; NAZI Germany (hmmm, all Socialist governments) would not be subject to the statistical analysis in the SCOPES article. Millions of dead people is a large number in any population
GeorgiaCarry.org Member
The latest "killings" havent even been mentioned.
Saddam killed a few million of his own countrymen over the years.
Rwanda,Sudan,Somalia,Bosnia just to name a few.
Those nice little countries that the news media and the U.N. like to forget.
Universal Background Checks...the next step towards registration and confiscation.

Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
a range i go to has a sign with omar kadafi, sadam, stalin, and hitler on it stating something to the fact of "gun control...it works"
i did not pull that info from snopes. i found it in a document i have.
The percentage of firearm use in robberies was already on a steep decline prior to the buy-back . . . peaking in 1993 at 37%. And regardless, the number of robberies increased from 72 per 100,00 in 1993 to 120 per 100,000 in 1999.
Perhaps an unarmed citizen is still vulnerable to attack . . . even if the BG doesn't us a gun. -Jim
An armed man is a citizen.
An unarmed man is a subject.

IRVINE, Calif. --- After delivering a two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth Friday, Taylor Sparks came up clutch again with a bases-loaded, two-run single to drive in the game-tying and go-ahead runs in the bottom of the eighth as UCI posted a 7-4 victory over Pacific Saturday at Cicerone Field at Anteater Ballpark.
The Anteaters, who were held to one run through seven innings, brought 11 batters to the plate in the eighth. With one out in the inning, Tommy Reyes and Jordan Fox hit clean singles off starter Kyle Crawford. Crawford handed the ball off to reliever Joe Spizzirri, who induced a fly-ball to center for the second out. However, Scott Gottschling extended the inning with the second of his two doubles to drive in Reyes. Spizzirri then walked Christian Ramirez to load the bases and issued a base on balls to Jerry McClanahan to force across Fox, cutting Pacific's lead to 4-3. The Tigers turned to reliever Chris Larsen and Sparks hit a flare to right, scoring Gottschling and Ramirez for a 5-4 UCI lead. Dillon Moyer continued the action, drawing a walk to load the bases a second time and Crumlich punched a two-run single to the left-centerfield gap, staking UCI to a three-run advantage.
That would be all for the Tigers as Race Parmenter faced four batters in a hitless ninth to preserve the win and earn his third save. Sophomore Mitch Merten collected his first win of the year (1-0) after holding Pacific to one hit in three shutout innings while starter Crosby Slaught pitched five innings, giving up four runs on six hits.
The Tigers took a two-run lead in the second on Jason Taasaas' two-run home run and extended the lead to four with a pair of runs in the third.
Crumlich and Sparks combined for four RBI on three hits while Gottschling and Fox each had a run batted in on two hits.
Spizzirri fell to 0-1 after giving up three runs in relief while Crawford pitched 7.1 innings and yielded three runs on seven hits while striking out four. Jason Taasaas paced the Tiger offense, batting 2 for 3 with two RBI.
The series concludes Sunday at 1:00 p.m.

'Deep Love' rock opera coming to Rexburg, Idaho Falls
Rexburg native Jon Peter Lewis in show
POCATELLO, Idaho - Rexburg native Jon Peter Lewis, who appeared on "American Idol" and "The Voice" is back in town for a big production. Along with over two dozen other performers, they will perform a rock opera in Rexburg and Idaho Falls.
They stopped in Pocatello Friday to give us a preview of their rock opera,"Deep Love."
So what is a rock opera?
"Instead of it being classical music, it's folk and rock and roll and American blues and all kinds of modern music," said Lewis, who plays Old Bones in the show.
The group says this is a perfect show to see during Halloween.
"You hear the word 'opera' and you're immediately turned off because it sounds like this boring four-hour-long classical venture," said Amy Whitcomb, who plays Florence in the show. "This is totally different. It's really like a rock and roll show."
"It showed an incredible amount of depth and maturity and skill in songwriting," Lewis said. "It was kind of like finding this little gem in Idaho."
"When they (Lewis and band partner Ryan Hayes) asked me to be part of the rock opera, I was already in," said Savannah Berry, who plays Constance in Deep Love. "I love them, and after hearing the music I was just totally sold on the show."
"It's hands-down, the best thing I've ever been a part of," said Lewis. "You won't regret it. It's the best thing you could do on Halloween, I promise."
Lewis, Berry and Whitcomb all said it's only proper to show up to the theater in your funeral clothes as well.
To find tickets and more information about the performers, you can go to www.deeploveopera.com, or you can find them on Facebook here: http://on.fb.me/1cb62mN.

Deer crash threat high in Pennsylvania
Everyone in Western Pennsylvania has a deer story.
And that's just the drivers.
The chance a driver will hit a deer on a Pennsylvania roadway is 1 in 76 this year, according to insurance experts. And last year, more deer died in vehicle crashes in Pennsylvania than any other state, according to a new survey.
"We're in the heart of when it's most dangerous. November is the worst month," said Dave Phillips, a spokesman for State Farm Insurance, which conducted the survey.
"And you now have that happening with hunting going on," he said. "You stand that much more of a chance seeing them standing in the roadway."
Because of the Appalachian Mountains, the chance of hitting a deer probably increases, he said. The likelihood in bordering West Virginia is slightly better than 1 in 40, the highest in the country.
As if it's not hard enough to elude the state's 750,000 licensed hunters, deer are challenged to dodge traffic, even in urban areas.
Monday marked the beginning of the state's two-week firearm hunting season. Deer, which travel in packs, often are startled by the sound of gunfire and hunters moving through the woods and leap into roadways in early morning and at night, Phillips said.
Last year, 115,571 deer were killed in vehicle collisions in Pennsylvania, according to the survey. That's 17,715 more than in Michigan, which had the second-highest number.
At Mignogna Collision Center in Hempfield, the calls started trickling in a few weeks before Thanksgiving, and now Patsy Mignogna said 29 deer-ravaged vehicles sit on his lot awaiting a mechanic's skills.
"That's typical for us," he said. "Deer do a lot of damage."
In the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, Mignogna, company president, offered a free turkey to drivers who brought in vehicles damaged by deer.
He gave away 32 turkeys.
"We don't do it for the business," he said. "We know we're going to get them. It's the luck of the draw if you don't hit a deer."
Vehicles hit by deer usually sustain front-end or side damage, and repairs typically cost between $3,000 and $5,000, experts estimate.
Five vehicles were marked to be repaired for deer damage Monday at Wolbert Auto Body and Repair in Crafton.
"It's just that time of year," said Jessica Bittner, office manager. "They're everywhere. People are hitting them real close to the city. You don't need to be out in the boonies."
To alert drivers, 3,330 deer crossing signs are posted on state-owned roads where deer roam, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission requests the signs when field officers notice a well-traveled area.
Across the state, there were 3,403 crashes and nine fatalities involving at least one deer last year, according to PennDOT.
Allegheny County reported 182 crashes, the most in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Westmoreland, which had the second-most with 123 crashes, had the only fatality involving a deer in the region.
Drivers should slow down at dusk and dawn, said J.J. Miller, safety adviser for AAA. She advises drivers to try to stay in their lane and not swerve to avoid a deer because it could cause more serious damage.
"The problem with deer at this time is if you see one, another may be following," she said. "They could jump out of anywhere. You'll see deer wander around city areas."

Brunswick Plantation and Golf Resort sponsored its third annual member-member golf tournament May 31-June 3. The women played on May 31 and June 2 and the men played on June 1 and June 3.
Day one was a two-person captain's choice with 50 percent of the lowest handicap deducted from the two-person team score. Day two was stroke play with each two-person team using 80 percent of its combined tournament handicap deducted from the score.
The Beachcombers played at Beachwood Golf Course. Low gross: Stu Cleveland 82, Paul Michal and Charlie Shore 83, Bob Byrne 84, Hal Riebesehl 85, Randy Cogdill 89. Low nets: Riebesehl 63, Byrne 64, Cleveland and Bob Smith 65, Ed Hennessey 67, Michal 68, Dennis McCann, Ed Nocella and Shore 69. Team two low nets per hole: Ed Kinney, Dennis Davidson, Smith and Riebesehl were 33-under par. Golfer of the week was Riebesehl.
I'm so proud I could burst.
In five short years, The First Tee of Brunswick County has become one of the premier chapters in the country. Imagine that.
Out of 204 chapters scattered across the United States and abroad, we are ranked near the top. We have great kids, wonderful volunteers, a real commitment from our business community, and two founders (Rusty and Carol Petrea) who are indefatigable in their support and leadership.
Here's a comment from Captain Obvious, "It's hot outside."
As I sit here writing this Monday afternoon, Brunswick County is under a heat advisory. The National Weather Service has Monday's highs at about 98 degrees, with the heat index potentially pushing as high as 107.
Tuesday, the day the newspaper is printed and readied for the public, temperatures are expected to teeter in the mid-90s, with temperatures hanging out around 90 degrees for the rest of the week.
The decision about whether terminal groins could be a viable option for coastal erosion control is now in the hands of one person, and that's not how it should be.
According to Ocean Isle Beach Mayor Debbie Smith and Caswell Beach Mayor Harry Simmons, N.C. Speaker of the House Joe Hackney is controlling whether Senate Bill 832 will be heard on the House floor during the General Assembly's short session.
It was before 2 a.m. when a driver on U.S. 17 was caught traveling about 96 mph.
When she was stopped by the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office Aggressive Criminal Enforcement (ACE) team, she thought she was somewhere near Leland.
Actually, she was south of Shallotte, and she was intoxicated.
"She had no clue," ACE Sgt. Billy Caulk said, relating the tale of one of the many intoxicated drivers he's encountered on Brunswick County roadways.
LITTLE RIVER, S.C.—Calvin Riley sat quietly inside a church fellowship hall Saturday, soaking up the tributes being paid to his late son.
Knowing this church—Little River United Methodist on U.S. 17—was Phillip Riley's last environment helps bring closure to his death, said Riley's stepmother, Faye.
VARNAMTOWN—The bad news is there's a horrendous oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico.
The good news is it's spurring higher prices for some East Coast shrimpers.
"The prices have gone real high," said Nicky Varnam, owner of Garland's Fresh Seafood, standing in the midday humidity as a shrimpboat unloaded Friday at his business overlooking the Lockwood Folly River.
BALD HEAD ISLAND—Former Bald Head Island Mayor Larry Lammert was out of town when he learned State Bureau of Investigation agents arrived at Bald Head Island Village Hall and said he was the subject of an SBI investigation.
Lammert learned about the investigation June 4, when he received call from the village attorney saying SBI agents were at village hall and advising him to retain a criminal attorney.
A new county ordinance will require pawnshops and scrap metal dealers to report receipts of all goods purchased and pawned, and local law enforcement officers say this will help close cases.
Brunswick County commissioners at their June 7 meeting adopted electronic record keeping requirements for pawnbrokers and scrap or surplus dealers.
"We had a volunteer system where pawn brokers, scrap metal dealers complied voluntarily except for a couple," Brunswick County Sheriff's Office detectives Capt. Gene Caison said.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello nick,
If the property was your primary residence, then the IRS is allowing taxpayers to exclude the amount of the their canceled debt from being part of their taxable income. However, the state of CA does not allow that same exclusion.
In order to exclude the amount from being part of your CA taxable income, you would have to file claiming the insolvency exclusion for it to also apply to your CA taxes.
If this was helpful please press the Accept button. Positive feedback is also appreciated.
Thank you nick
Yes, you will have to file for insolvency first on your federal return before sending in your CA state paperwork. That excusion will then automatically apply to both states.
If this was helpful please press the Accept button.

For shame.
Gone are the days of tarring and feathering (well, maybe not in Ohio), but a new crop of public-shaming websites is doing the job in the Internet age. These sites very visually take to task racists, misogynists and your run-of-the-mill idiots as they share their "thoughts" through social media.
First, came news of an Icelandic feminist who'd set up a Facebook album in February titled "Men Who Hate Women," which catalogued vile sexist musings online. (She was banned from Facebook for the fourth time for her troubles.)
Also emerging are shaming Tumblrs: One outs racists , listing their names, hometowns, Facebook and Twitter accounts alongside their hateful online missives, while another, "Public Shaming: Tweets of Privilege" juxtaposes people's bigoted and elitist tweets with their everyday ramblings, to great effect.
Here, a brief sampling of the site's cringe-inducing mashups:
- "People who are for Obama most likely fall under following categories:welfare/food stamps dependent, lazy, or uninformed. #simpleasthat," opines a young woman on Oct. 24. Earlier that spring, she'd gloated, "mom might regret giving me her debit card for shopping #oops"
- "I don't think teen moms should get welfare or food stamps or any govt assistance. Why should my taxes have to pay for their slutty mistakes," another opinionated Twitter user shared this fall. In the summer, it was a different story: "I need to stop gettin drunk and sending out nudes," she tweeted, accompanying her promise with several weeping emoticons.
Oh, the folly of the Twitterati. Over at Bullett, Luke O'Neil relished the sites, remarking on what they've unearthed: "a beautifully complex layer cake of obtuseness, offensiveness and awe-inspiring lack of self-awareness at work in the minds of the nation's near-illiterate, hate-fueled, racist, spoiled, obliviously lazy cretins."
Public-shaming sites are the digital equivalent of complete strangers putting your foot in your mouth for you. Though most of those hung out to dry are clearly buffoons, the shaming sites serve as a reminder to the rest of us about how close hypocrisy lies when you're spewing strong opinions in 140 characters or less on a minute-by-minute basis, while the Internet catalogues all.Report Typo/Error

Learning to love my waves
1 Attachment(s)
I just recently decided to go back to my natural wavy hair. I've been researching and reading everything I can find regarding CG for the past month and still am a little lost. My hair is fine or normal (can't quite figure out which), normal or high porosity (I think, have been flat ironing it for over 10 yrs and dye it blonde) and I think I'm a 2b??
Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I just started using mop c hydrating shampoo (love it) and biosilk roch hard gelee. Actually did my first co-wash and plopping today. Not sure if my hair likes the plopping... But am amazed at how the cowashing didn't make it greasy (was worried about that). Still trying to figure out how to fight the frizz. Anyway, I want to thank all the veteran CGs who have taken time to post tips and product reviews, I've learned a lot from y'all!
Straight ironing days: Attachment 24672
If you're a 2b, be careful about over-moisturizing, unless your hair is dry for some reason. I use a low-poo, but no-poos make my own 2b hair flat, and a little greasy at the top.
Good luck!
Hi Stubette; welcome to our curlyworld!
You'll find lots of great info all over the site!
I hate my wavy hair((
I hate them so much that recently I have made a short hair cut...
Can't say it's worse this way,
but I really now understand it was a bit stupid...
Any ideas on how to take care of the short haircut?)
Thanks Gretchen & Claudine. Blanca, I'm still learning, so I really don't have much to offer. How short did you cut it? A few years ago I did the chi straightener which caused my hair to break off. Ended up having to shave my head using a 1 guard. When it was really short, it was super easy lol. But as it grew out I used a flat iron on it and never let myself enjoy the natural waves.

Experts in Biological Separation
Please note that NuSep Holdings Limited changed its name to Memphasys Limited on July 1 2016..
Memphasys Ltd (ASX: MEM) is an Australian publicly-listed bio-separations company developing and commercialising innovative separation techniques based on the Company's proprietary membrane technology.
Memphasys' first application of this technology platform is now being commercialised – the separation of the 'best' sperm from a semen sample for use in human in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
Memphasys Limited
Innovation in Biological Separation Processes
Memphasys specialises in biological separations for commercial applications.
Memphasys' patented membrane processes enable the selection of high value substances or contaminants from the fluid in which they are contained by applying an electrical field (electrophoresis) to a sample of the fluid that is contained between our membranes. Proteins or cells can be extracted utilising Memphasys' proprietary polymer separation membranes to pick out specific components based on their size and relative charge.
Memphasys' SpermSep technology selects the most viable sperm from semen samples for use in fertility treatments including IVF for humans, and potentially in various artificial reproductive techniques (ART) for animals.
There is a higher incidence of miscarriage, premature births and various genetically-based diseases such as cancers and neurological diseases in progeny created using IVF and certain other ART fertilization methods than there is from natural fertilisation.
There is increasing concern that current human sperm preparation techniques for extracting the sperm from semen sample may be contributing to these results, as they can physically damage the sperm, and lead to oxidative stresses and DNA damage.
The Company's SpermSep technology has been developed in partnership with Professor John Aitken from the University of Newcastle, Australia – a world-leader in human fertility research. Under Prof Aitken's leadership, extensive proof of concept testing of the SpermSep research device has been completed, which has resulted in publications endorsing the quality of the sperm selected using the SpermSep technology.
Memphasys is now developing a next-generation of SpermSep products for clinical use in human IVF centres worldwide.
Membranes Separation
Over the past 15 years Memphasys has developed a polymer membrane separation technology using polyacrylamide hydrogel membranes with electrophoresis.
Memphasys' current range of research lab instruments was developed to allow this separation technology to be used in the research sector to assess new applications. One was the CS10 prototype research instrument for testing sperm separation.
Memphasys is well advanced in developing and validating an improved membrane material that is biologically-compatible and easily scalable in ambient conditions.
In early 2014 Memphasys licensed its polyacrylamide membrane technology for use in human plasma separation to PrIME Biologics Pte Ltd in Singapore. Memphasys holds a passive shareholding in PrIME Biologics.
Intellectual Property
Memphasys has patents relating to electrophoresis apparatuses, consumables (e.g. separation cartridges and separation membranes) and other hardware for biological separation
Memphasys also holds patents specific to the SpermSep technology and an exclusive license agreement with our clinical research partner, the University of Newcastle, for IP they have developed in sperm separation.
The new separation membrane material currently being developed will generate new application and method patents in the coming years.

During the Archaic Period, most large-scale statues of standing youths, or kouroi, were depicted nude. The draped kouros as a type, according to Ridgway (The Archaic Style in Greek Sculpture, p. 75), is found almost exclusively in Asia Minor and Samos, with one example from the Athenian Acropolis and one from Sicily. More commonly, draped male figures are seated or carry an offering. The quality of the drapery of the present example is far superior to most of the standing figures known. See for example the kouros from Samos, no. 84 in Boardman, Greek Sculpture, The Archaic Period, and the kouros with a dedicatory inscription for Dionysermos, now in Paris, thought to be from Miletos or Samos, no. 51 in Hamiaux, Les Sculptures Grecques. For the draped kouros from Syracuse, see pl. 13-14 in Ridgeway, op. cit., and for the example from the Acropolis see pl. 102 in Payne, Archaic Marble Sculpture from the Acropolis.

Wendy's has now entered the breakfast market with over 650 restaurants serving breakfast. They say by the end of 2008, the whole chain should have the new menu. The one thing that I'm most excited about is the new Buttermilk Frescuit with bacon.
I guess since Wendy's is the home of square burgers, they figured their breakfast sandwich should be square too. I am not sure if this was a good idea. Just like with the new Dunkin' Donuts sandwich I am not happy with the breading. What the heck is a Frescuit? I long for the days when English muffins were top dog in the breakfast sandwich market.
Let's take look at what is inside the Bacon Frescuit: bacon (most likely not crispy), scrambled eggs and American cheese on a biscuit. Other places put a fried egg on there sandwiches, but Wendy's Frescuits are using scrambled eggs gently folded into a square omelet. Again it seems they can't get a way from this square thing. I think this looks pretty good and I can't wait to try one. I just hope they cook the bacon crispy.
If you live and the Pittsburgh area and know of a Wendy's that is serving breakfast let me know. Thanks!

From the moment Jeff Guidry saw the baby eagle with broken wings, his life was changed. For weeks he and the staff at Sarvey Wildlife Care Center tended to the grievously injured bird. Miraculously, she recovered. And after Jeff was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2000, Freedom returned his gift. While undergoing chemotherapy, the time Jeff spent with Freedom soothed his spirit and gave him the strength to fight. When he learned he was cancer free, he shared his news on a walk with Freedom. Somehow this special bird seemed to understand the significance of the day; for the first time, she wrapped both her wings around Jeff in an avian hug.
In March 2008, Jeff shared his extraordinary experience in an email to a friend that would unexpectedly circle the globe and inspire countless fans. In "An Eagle Named Freedom," Jeff tells the full story of his bond with Freedom and introduces the other wildlife and volunteers who have been saved by Sarvey. A tender tale of hope, love, trust, and life, this true story is an affirmation of the spiritual connection that humans and animals share.

Michael Jackson cupcakes. Arsenal cupcakes. Twitter cupcakes. Skull and crossbones cupcakes. Cupcakes with glitter and sprinkles and handmade ricepaper flowers. So many cupcakes!
Crumbs and Doilies make delightful iced cupcakes and they like to use MOO cards to spread the word. We caught up with them to find out how MiniCards and cupcakes are made for each other…
What made you decide to try MOO MiniCards?
We thought it seemed like a really fun idea! With the low minimum order we figured it was worth having some made up, just to see what they were like. Our cupcakes are very visual and part of their appeal is the uniqueness of each order – so having a way of printing lots of different designs in one print run was a very attractive prospect for us.
How do you use MOO cards to promote your cupcakes?
It's still quite early days as we only took receipt of our first delivery quite recently, but we're looking at including a few cards with each private order – like a fun and collectable freebie for people to keep and show their friends.
What do you consider to be the advantages of a MiniCard over a traditional sized business card?
They're smaller! It's a fun way of showing off some of our imagery in a unique and eye-catching way. There's also something about the colourful variety in miniature form that seemed to fit well with our mini-cupcakes.
You can now upload your own images for the front and back of the MiniCards – we see you've taken advantage of this in your designs…
Yes, we designed the 'back' image based on our company logo and 'sprinkles' design. We liked the fact we could use our full branding – the templates are great – but this works much better for us, as a small business. The cards are really cute, and likely to be kept, so featuring our branding loud and clear means the next time people want cupcakes, our details are there, used as a bookmark or pinned to the fridge.
Any plans to use MOO cards in other ways to promote your business?
We're thinking of punching a hole in a MiniCard and using it to secure a ribbon round a box of cupcakes. We've seen this a few times on Flickr, and it seems to work really well.
We've been really impressed with the quality and finish of the MOO printing, so we're definitely considering using more of MOO's custom products for special occasions. Christmas has only just finished but we're already planning for Valentine's Day!
Excellent ideas! I love the cupcakes. Super appealing and the mini cards show them off so well!
love the crumbs & doilies! the logo is fun, and the pix of the mini cakes are wonderful! i wish you much success in your business – yum!
What fresh designs for cupcakes! My favourite is the strawberry design with all the yellow sprinkles placed just so. I wish your business much success for 2010! With your collection of Mini MOO cards your off to a great start.
Fantastic website you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any
forums that cover the same topics talked about here?
I'd really love to be a part of online community where I can get opinions from other experienced individuals that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Many thanks!
We help our customers print things like Business Cards, MiniCards, and Letterheads, making it easy for them to share information about themselves or their business in the real world.
Don't miss out on special offers and discounts that we share with our subscribers!
We know that lots of you are great ambassadors for MOO and so we've been thinking of a way to say thank you. Which is why you can now actually earn money off your next order when you refer friends to MOO.Find out more

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety announced its list of Top Safety Picks for 2007 this morning. Among the winners are two Audis, three Subarus, two Hondas, and one model each from Acura, Mercedes, Saab and Volvo. Absent are any models by American automakers or Japanese behemoth Toyota. The standards for the award this year are a bit tougher than in the past, but something to strive for. Not only must vehicles score top safety ratings in front, side and rear crash tests, they also must be equipped with electronic stability control.
There was also a runners-up list, which included cars that met all the requirements except the top rear crash-test score; and plenty of Toyotas made that list — yet still no American models. Both lists can be found below.
Large car
- Audi A6 - manufactured in Dec. 2006 and later
Midsize cars
- Audi A4
- Saab 9-3
- Subaru Legacy - equipped with optional electronic stability control
- Hyundai Entourage
- Kia Sedona
Luxury SUVs
- Mercedes M class
- Volvo XC90
Midsize SUVs
- Acura RDX
- Honda Pilot
- Subaru B9 Tribeca
Small SUVs
- Honda CR-V
- Subaru Forester - equipped with optional electronic stability control
These vehicles would have won if their seat/head restraints also
had earned good ratings.
Acceptable rear protection
- Audi A3
- BMW 3-series 4dr
- Lexus IS 250/350
Marginal rear protection
- Acura TL
- Honda Odyssey
- Lexus ES 350
- Lexus GS 350
- Toyota Camry
- Toyota FJ Cruiser
- Toyota Prius
- Toyota RAV4
Poor rear protection
- Honda Accord 4dr
- Infiniti M35

[ACC: Men] Virginia rallied from 2-0 and 3-1 down to tie No. 1 Notre Dame 3-3 on a pair of goals in the last five minutes of regulation and beat the Fighting Irish, 4-3, in a shootout to advance to the ACC final Sunday against defending champion Maryland, a 1-0 winner over Clemson in overtime.
UVa, which had
handed Notre Dame (11-1-6) its only loss of the season early in the year, is seeking its 11th ACC championship and will play for the title for the first time since 2009.
Cavaliers trailed 3-1 following Andrew O'Malley's 81st-minute goal before rallying with goals in the 85th minute from sophomore Marcus Salandy-Defour and 87th minute from freshman Nicko Corriveau. The teams played through two scoreless overtime periods
before heading to the shootout, where Virginia keeper Calle Brown stopped two of five shots he faced.
"In my 18 years," Virginia head coach
George Gelnovatch said, "I think that was one of the best fight backs that we've had. I certainly challenged them at halftime and the responses were good.
The way we played them in the second half is the way we played them from the start last time [2-0 UVa win]. We were just a little funky to start with. Notre Dame's a good team. We were fortunate
enough to get ourselves going in the second half and finish with advancement."
Notre Dame took a 2-0 lead into halftime on goals by Harrison
Shipp, the 2013 ACC Offensive Player of the Year, and Patrick Hodan. The Irish could have put the game away in the 53rd minute, but Shipp's penalty kick
clanged off the left post.
Virginia was awarded a penalty of its own four minutes later and Todd Wharton buried the spot kick.
– Michael Sauers scored a goal with just 13 seconds left in the first overtime period to lift top-seeded Maryland past Clemson in front of 3,352 fans at
the Maryland SoccerPlex.
The Terrapins (12-3-5) and Tigers (11-6-2) played an even match largely devoid of solid chances until the overtime winner.
"Clemson is a great
team and for sure they are an NCAA tournament team, I was extremely proud of our overall commitment to defending," Maryland coach Sasho Cirovski said.
"There was a lot at stake. This is a very important tournament to us in a very special setting and we are delighted we get a chance to play on Sunday."

Anumodana with Metta to whom answer my question.
agnostic |agˈnästik|
a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.
"Herein, bhikkhus, a certain recluse or a brahmin is dull and stupid. Due to his dullness and stupidity, when he is questioned about this or that point, he resorts to evasive statements and to endless equivocation: 'If you ask me whether there is a world beyond — if I thought there is another world, I would declare that there is. But I do not take it thus, nor do I take it in that way, nor do I take it in some other way. I do not say that it is not, nor do I say that is neither this nor that.'
"If a person has conviction, his statement, 'This is my conviction,' safeguards the truth. But he doesn't yet come to the definite conclusion that 'Only this is true; anything else is worthless.' To this extent, Bharadvaja, there is the safeguarding of the truth. To this extent one safeguards the truth. I describe this as the safeguarding of the truth. But it is not yet an awakening to the truth.

/// Game of Thrones Sets Another Ratings Record
Whether they're going up against zombies or dragons, the broadcast networks can't seem to catch a break in the Sunday night 9 p.m. slot. According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, last night's installment of HBO's Game of Thrones scared up a staggering 6.9 million viewers, breaking the previous record (6.64 million) it set during the April 6 season premiere . Titled "Oathkeeper," the episode averaged a 3.7 in the adults 18-49 demo, up one-tenth of a ratings point from the season opener's 3.6 rating. All told, Game of Thrones beat CBS, NBC and Fox combined in the demo. The uptick in Thrones' deliveries—last night's show was up 5 percent versus the April 20 telecast—coincided with another weak performance by the Big Four. ABC's Resurrection dropped another 10 percent in the demo, notching a series-low 1.9 rating, while CBS' The Good Wife was flat with a 1.3. And while NBC's Believe improved 9 percent to a 1.2, its overall time-slot average (also a 1.2) doesn't bode well for a renewal. (That said, it's worth noting that there was an NBA preemption in Portland, Ore., the nation's No. 22 DMA.) Fox's Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey was unchanged with a 1.4 in the dollar demo

Overnight BS Ups and Downs
Posted 12 June 2008 - 08:46 AM
My BS is down quite a bit since starting meds a week ago. From 300+ to 100+ and getting lower daily.
I'm still looking for a diabetic breakfast smoothie recipe. I miss my smoothies!
Posted 12 June 2008 - 12:45 PM
Try eating a small, protein-ish snack before bed, like a piece of cheese or peanut butter on a cracker. Some DF members swear by a glass of red wine. This gives your liver something to do at night besides make more glucose. This has really, really worked for me, as does taking my exercise (walking) at night. I rarely wake up over 120-- usually it's down near 100.
Glad to hear your numbers are starting down in just a week on meds! Awesome! Good post-meal numbers, too.
Keep up the good work!

Could be a little minor Dawn Phenomenon (DP) in action. Our livers have Attention Deficit Disorder and must have something to occupy them or they start misbehaving by dumping glucose.
Lol! Thanks for brightening my day with that!
I will try a snack tonight and see what happens. It hadn't even occurred to me about the PDP. I bet that's what it was. I will give the peanut butter a try, but it'll be on celery since crackers cause my BS to skyrocket. Thanks again!

sure is a lot to learn and take on isn't it??
a smoothie i like is using hood milk product...{tastes great and tastes like milk to me even in cereal)
2-3 strawberries, ice and some sweetner like splenda...and blend...i used to make if for my kids with milk in the morning or for snacks...also good with 1/2 a banana instead if you can tolerate it and with that i like to put in a tsp or so of malt flavor....little carb makes a big flavor difference...much like a milkshake taste for either of them....only more refreshing with the ice iin it...i am sure you can get creative from here!
byt the way hood chocolate milk is an amazing treat!!

Debbie Sue, actually it sounds like you are getting those BGs down pretty quickly. That cannot be just the metformin doing that. You must be doing some other things. Very good. You are on your way! How are you feeling physically?
Posted 13 June 2008 - 12:45 PM
Maybe your glucose is higher in the morning due to the same cause as I have. At wake up time my liver dumps a cocktail of glucose and adrenalin into my blood stream, alittle too much glucose. My numbers are always the highest in the morning.
Posted 13 June 2008 - 12:55 PM
You are doing great!! Just cut yourself some slack. It took you years to get where you are and it is just going to take some time to get things back on track. You have made outstanding progress already. Getting your numbers down to target just takes some time. In my case, I was diagnosed in full in early Dec with an HbA1c of 8%. I first got a meter on Feb 28th and my fasting readings were 150-160 mg/dL. It took me until June before I could get then down to an average in the 120s and October before I was able to get it to an average below 120 mg/dL.
You are doing great, just give it some time so that you can learn about all this stuff.

About the smoothie- Experiment with using cucumber to substitute for one of your higher glycemic fruits.
Debbie Sue, actually it sounds like you are getting those BGs down pretty quickly. That cannot be just the metformin doing that. You must be doing some other things. Very good. You are on your way! How are you feeling physically?
Oh, well, hmmm... cucumber? We aren't the best of friends. lol! Any other subs for cukes or fruit? (someone please say chocolate!)
Physically I feel fine. I do get woke up during the night, sometimes, feeling hungry, but otherwise, I'm feeling fine. Actually I feel better than I did when i was eating sugar and high fat every day. I'm exercising regularly and that's helping a lot.

Debbie Sue,
Maybe your glucose is higher in the morning due to the same cause as I have. At wake up time my liver dumps a cocktail of glucose and adrenalin into my blood stream, alittle too much glucose. My numbers are always the highest in the morning.
Is that acceptable to your doctor? I just don't want to be put on any more meds.
Posted 13 June 2008 - 01:07 PM
2 hours after dinner last night, my BS was 133. I had nothing else to eat until this morning after my fasting BS of 156. Why did my BS go up overnight instead of hanging steady or going down?
There's no proof it did. 133 156 are basically the same reading, and once is not a trend. Repeat it many times; then you can start worrying about it.
Don't ever make a regimen change based on a single test! A one-time adjustment yes, a permanant change no.
On MDI and doing well. A1Cs range from 5.6 to 6.4. December 2016 was 6.1. 12 911's in my career; a few highs; lots of shots. Diagnosed Oct 19th, 1975.

That being said, my doc set a goal of 110 or less fasting...and I rarely meet that goal. However, my other numbers throughout the day are much lower than the goal set, and until this bout of shingles, my A1Cs have been good, so I don't worry too much.
After your meds get in your system, you can try taking your metformin later in the evening (still not on an empty stomach though) and this might help with morning #s. Taking it at bedtime instead of dinner will keep it in your system longer and the a.m. numbers may come down that way.
T2, diagnosed 8/31/06.
Meds: Metformin-ER 500 mg twice daily, HCTZ 12.5 mg every other day for BP Enalapril 20 mg 1 daily (ace-inhibitor)
Diet: I eat to my meter, generally eating 75-100 carbs/day with the occasional splurge.

2nd largest U.S. cable provider drops Showtime
CBS and Showtime were dropped on Friday by Time Warner Cable, the nation's second largest cable TV provider serving significant portions of New York City, Los Angeles and Dallas, due a dispute over license fees. In response, cbs.com has blocked the online streaming of shows to Time Warner Cable broadband customers.
In a statement, Showtime stated "We gave Time Warner Cable the opportunity to keep SHOWTIME on the air even if an agreement could not be achieved. Time Warner Cable declined this offer. We take pride in the fact that our networks have never gone dark until now and that our subscribers have never been deprived of their programming. Time Warner Cable, on the other hand, has taken nearly 50 channels off the air in the last five years in disputes like the one we are having right now."
Time Warner Cable's statement reads: "TWC regrets being forced into this position by CBS, but is prepared to stand by their customers and do what it takes to fight programmer demands for outrageous increases."
According to reports, further negotiations are expected to last anywhere from ten days to six weeks. The next boxing telecast on Showtime is Deontay Wilder vs. Sergei Liakhovich on August 9, followed by Abner Mares vs. Jhonny Gonzalez on August 24 and Seth Mitchell vs. Chris Arreola on September 6. It's even possible that the September 14 Floyd Mayweather-Canelo Alvarez show could be affected if this dispute isn't resolved. Stay tuned.

MLBPA boss: Union will push for drug violators to make deals
The MLB Players Association insists that it wants a 'clean program' and isn't interested in protecting obviously guilty players.
As the Biogenesis investigation continues to drag on, Major League Baseball Players Association head Michael Weiner notes the union isn't interested in protecting obviously guilty players.
"I can tell you, if we have a case where there really is overwhelming evidence, that a player committed a violation of the program, our fight is going to be that they make a deal," Weiner said without referring to specific players. "We're not interested in having players with overwhelming evidence that they violated the (drug) program out there. Most of the players aren't interested in that. We'd like to have a clean program."
As has been previously reported, the Biogenesis suspensions aren't likely to be served until 2014; Weiner told reporters during the All-Star break in New York that the appeals aren't likely to be heard until September.
Also contained in the Daily News account is a report that MLB investigators have "gathered an overwhelming amount of evidence" that proves Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez has received performance-enhancing drugs from the Miami-based Biogenesis clinic.
If this is true, Weiner's statement indicates the union would urge A-Rod to accept his punishment or make something akin to a plea bargain instead of trying to fight the charges.
So, again, we have evidence that baseball is by far the most serious sport when it comes to attempting to rid the game of PEDs. And yet it has, by far, the biggest national stigma when it comes to accusations against players using PEDs.

At Play in the Fields of the Lord (1965)
by Peter Matthiessen
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I've wanted to read this book since I saw the movie version, several years ago. In it, Peter Matthiessen tells the story of what happens when a group of American Protestant missionaries come to a remote outpost on a tributary of the Amazon river. There they clash with a pair of American mercenaries trying to get their passports back from the military leader and earn enough money to fill the tank of their airplane with gas so they can leave. The military leader is looking for an excuse to wipe out an unruly indigenous group, the Niaruna.
In At Play in the Fields of the Lord, Matthiessen demolishes the idea of the White Savior rescuing a minority group through selflessness and dedication. While there are several important characters, the two who are the most interesting are Martin Quarrier, a selfless and self-examining missionary who really wants to understand the Niaruna, and to protect them from the forces threatening them, from annihilation by the government to the missteps of missionaries who break-down tribal ties and encourage dependency, and Lewis Moon who, because he half Native American, has never found himself belonging anywhere. In the Niaruna he sees what might have been for his own culture and so is determined to join the Niaruna and to guide them in how to avoid assimilation.
Through the prism of the mist, the heat of the low jungle sky seemed to focus on this wretched spot, where tarantulas and scorpions and stinging ants accompanied the mosquito and the biting fly into the huts, where the vampire bats, defecating even as they fed, would fasten on exposed toes at night, where one could never be certain that a bushmaster or few-de-lance had not formed its cold coil in a dark corner. In the the river, piranhas swam among the stingrays and candirus and the large crocodilians called lagartos; in adjacent swamps and forests lived the anaconda and the jaguar. But at Remate de Males such creatures were but irritants; the true enemies were the heat and the biting insects, the mud and the nagging fear, more like an ague, of the silent hostile people of the rain forest.
While the Americans, despite bringing only harm, are portrayed with nuance and the Niaruna themselves with respect, the military commander, as well as the indians who support him and live in the town, are treated by Matthiessen with not much more than contempt. It would have been a stronger book had he been able to treat those living between the Americans and the Niaruna with the same complexity as the other characters. Still, At Play in the Fields of the Lord is a fascinating story of what happens when good intentions are not enough.
After 50 pages, I'd had enough.
Just checked out the ebook from local library. Have fond memories of seeing the film and looking forward to the detail and inner revelations that books usually provide. I'm can't think of a case where the book wasn't far better than the movie. A few were just as good but that was due to the movie emphasizing some aspects where the book emphasized others, such as WORLD ACCORNING TO GARP and MYSTERIOUS ISLAND. Move review as I get further into it.
Although written in 1965 (when Matthiessen was 38) the novel still remains vibrant and relevant, its staying power attested by its transition to film almost 30 years later in 1992. Even though it would seem almost un-filmable, the director did a good job, carried in part by the beautiful photography of the Amazon. The book is basically about the extinction of a smaller culture by a larger more powerful culture - it is no accident the main characters are Jewish and Navajo Indian, two cultures that have historically successfully resisted attempts at genocide. Matthiessen was active with indigenous peoples in the Amazon when he published the non-fiction book "The Cloud Forest" in 1962, just a few years before "Fields of the Lord", the two works can be profitably be read in conjunction as both biographical of Matthiessen's evolving views and understanding of the culture and geography.

How the other billion live
Page Tools
Devoted to their faith ... a boy takes his place among the men during prayers at Auburn's Gallipoli Mosque, which held its annual open day yesterday. Photo: Sahlan Hayes
From below the dome of Auburn's Gallipoli Mosque, finding the holy city of Mecca means facing Merrylands, on the other side of the railway line noise.
Many of the non-Muslim visitors to the mosque's fourth annual open day seemed to know that already, and most knew they would have to take off their shoes before entering, if not being exactly sure why.
"The first reason is that we put our heads on the carpet," a guide, Bass Adasi, told a tour group. Cleanliness being next to godliness sounded familiar enough.
For the first time since the mosque opened five years ago, religious leaders had sought permission from Auburn Council for the midday call to prayer to be amplified from one of the 30-metre-high minarets.
Among the most frequently asked questions was how the world's 1 billion Muslims managed to pray five times a day: early morning, midday, afternoon, evening and night (the times are determined by the sun. In total, the prayers take up less than an hour.)
Some of those whose knowledge of Islam was limited to world conflict had harder questions, about the status of women and how a peaceful religion could have a concept such as jihad.
The organisers of the open day handled this head-on in seminars with themes such as "What is Jihad?", "Islam and the West, Muslims in Australia" and "Women's rights and roles in Islam".
The Arabic word jihad was explained as meaning struggling or striving - any effort exerted by anyone; and in religious context as a spiritual struggle against evil.
And the popular image of Muslim women as oppressed second-class citizens was put down to a problem of the Third World, incorrectly attributed to Islam doctrine.
The open day's spokesman, Ahemt Keskin, estimated at least 500 visitors attended yesterday's event, and that 80 per cent were not Muslims, many visiting a mosque for the first time.
"We realise that a mosque may seem like an intimidating place," Mr Keskin said.
"But just as in a church, temple or synagogue, we want people to feel welcome and comfortable."
Richard Perrett, a bus driver, had read about the open day in the Manly Daily and travelled from Hornsby Heights.
"This is a first step for me," Mr Perrett said.
"I thought I'd come here today with an open mind and see the people, see what they do, and hear what they have to say.
"I'm glad I made the effort."
