Hendersonville City Council agreed to plug a few new positions — ranging from a downtown promoter to an additional school resource officer — into next year's budget to see how they fit.
Hendersonville City Council agreed to plug a few new positions — ranging from a downtown promoter to an additional school resource officer — into next year's budget to see how they fit.
The December tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary spurred Councilman Jerry Smith, a teacher at Hendersonville High and father of three children at city schools, to ask for the funding of a second school resource officer. The officer assigned to Hendersonville High is unable to cover all of the schools in the city's jurisdiction, Smith said.
City schools are apart of the Henderson County Public Schools system, and officers at North, East, West and Hendersonville high schools are paid for with state and county funds. The officer at Hendersonville High is partially funded by about $40,000 from the state, with city taxpayers footing the rest of the bill at around $15,000 a year, according to Smith.
The current SRO at HHS is also asked to also cover Hendersonville Middle, but his trips to the middle school are "sporadic at best" and specifically happen in emergencies, Smith told the council at a planning retreat Friday.
Law enforcement agencies, legislators, educators and parents have struggled with safety concerns in the months since a gunman stormed the campus of the Connecticut school, killing 20 students, ages 6 and 7, and six adults. Police stepped up patrols at local schools in the days after the massacre to ease parents' fears.
"I certainly think that the presence of an officer on a regular basis makes someone thinking about doing something crazy think a little bit harder about it (since) they know there's a uniformed officer there on campus. And I certainly believe a uniformed officer with a gun is a whole lot better than a teacher with a gun," Smith said.
He asked the city to look into funding a full-time SRO at Hendersonville Middle, starting with the 2013-14 school year. That person would also be charged with conducting regular "walk-throughs" at Hendersonville Elementary across the street.
Smith also suggested the city could ask the SRO at HHS to "look in on Bruce Drysdale (Elementary) on a regular basis," since the school is one block away from the high school.
"There used to be a sheriff's deputy at the middle school. There no longer is," Smith said. "None of the middle schools in the county have an SRO, so we would be unique in that regard."
An SRO at North Henderson High has easy access to Apple Valley Middle, which shares the same campus, but middle and high schools elsewhere do not have that luxury, he said.
In the 2012-13 school year alone, Hendersonville High SRO Curtis Philon prevented or eased "some cases of bullying; dealt with angry parents on scene effectively; dealt with underage drinking;" combatted "drugs on campus; investigated damage to property; handled vehicle accidents and improper parking; investigated thefts; and, assisted in situations involving mental health issues," according to Hendersonville Police Chief Herbert Blake.
Smith said the first-year cost of funding a new SRO would be around $61,500.
He added that Superintenden David Jones said "there is no school system money available for this." Jones, however, sent a letter to N.C. Sen. Tom Apodaca requesting state funding to cover more SROs on school campuses, according to Smith.
"I would find it hard to believe that either the General Assembly and/or the Congress will not be discussing some type of funding for schools for safety and security during these legislative sessions," he said.
Schools in the city limits host 2,151 students on a daily basis. He added that about 1,500 of those students come from homes in the city.
"To me that's a legitimate use of their tax money to make them feel a little safer when they go to school," Smith said.
"Let's plug it into the budget and see if it works," offered Councilman Steve Caraker.
"I feel like there will be some money coming from the state or federal government to help with this, but I don't want to sit around and wait for that to happen," Smith said.
Mayor Barbara Volk said they would add the position to upcoming budget discussions.
U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows (NC-11) will hold a news conference with local law enforcement to discuss his bill, the "Protect America's Schools Act," at 11 a.m. Wednesday at Hendersonville Elementary. The bill would revitalize the Cops in Schools grant program, which has not been funded since fiscal year 2005, and fund it at $30 million annually, according to Meadows' office.
"The CIS program, which was introduced by the Clinton administration over 14 years ago, is specifically designed to assist local law enforcement agencies in the hiring of new officer," according to Meadows. "The $30 million to pay for this critical grant program would be offset by taking unspent funds from the operations budget of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration."
Downtown promotor position
City Main Street Director Lew Holloway gave the council a dizzying roundup on all of the goals, objectives and events he and Main Street volunteers have been working on. In short, he's been a very busy man. Council agreed he could use some help.
Caraker asked if a part-time position that could morph into something full-time would help.
"I'm sure that it would help," Holloway said.
He added that someone with a marketing or communications degree who could assist with promotions and other duties would be a great benefit in the office. A high school senior intern is currently helping out about 10 hours a week.
City Finance Director Jim Rudasill suggested the city use a half-and-half mix of funds from the city's municipal service district and general fund to pay for the position.
Interim City Manager A. Lee Galloway said they could contract with a company to find an employee, but it would generally cost more than paying for an in-house hourly worker.
Mayor Pro-tem Jeff Collis said the city may be limiting what "could be going on downtown" without hiring some extra help.
Councilman Ron Stephens suggested they find money in the budget for a part-time position to see how it works.
Volk authorized Galloway and Holloway to come up with a description for the new position.

Green River returns Friday at 6 p.m.
On a night where No. 1 Powell struggled to execute offensively for chunks of the game, the Panthers' defensive unit came through in flying colors. Powell forced eight turnovers, including four intereceptions by senior Dewey Schwahn, and held Lander to just 46 yards of total offense to cruise 36-0 into the semifinal round of the Class 3A football playoffs.

Powell's bid for repeat title starts against Tigers
On paper, it screams mismatch. Choose pretty much any statistic and the numbers from the regular season scream that Friday night's quarterfinal between Powell, 8-0 on the year, and Lander, 2-6, could get ugly.
October 23, 2012 9:18 am
October 23, 2012 8:56 am
The Powell High School cross country teams raced to ninth place finishes at the 2012 3A championship meet in Douglas on Saturday. Andrew Feller had the day's top finish for the Panthers, placing 19th individually in the boys' race.
October 18, 2012 9:35 am
Home field advantage hangs in balance
High school football reaches the final week of the regular season in Wyoming this Friday as the Green River Wolves, 5-2 overall, 3-1 in 3A West, come to Powell to face the Panthers. The Wolves enter the game ranked No. 4 in the latest round of the Wyopreps coaches and media poll.
October 18, 2012 9:29 am
Powell heads to 3A title race as underdog
You'd have to go back a few years to find the last time the Powell High School cross country teams ventured to the 3A state championship meet without either the girls' team or the boys' numbering among the favorites to return home with a trophy. This year, however, both teams carry the underdog's role to Douglas.
A season of low numbers and prolific injuries conspired to keep the Panther girls from contending for team honors throughout much of the regular season. Powell's runners eventually began to mend and, buoyed by an influx of late-season additions, were able to place fifth at last week's 3A West conference meet.
Seniors Victoria Grevisse, Alyssa Hildebrand and Tess Mitchell — all late comers to the cross country ranks — will line up alongside juniors Carly Klein and Sierra Morrow and sophomore Bailey Sanders for the Panther girls. The group will have its work cut out for it if it wishes to climb up the standings in Douglas this Saturday.
A field of 87 runners are expected to step into the starting chute for the 3A championship race on Saturday.
The scenario is a little different for the Panther boys, who were consistently a top three finisher at meets throughout the regular season. Powell's boys saw that order of finish balloon to sixth place at the 3A West meet last week as the Panthers got their first look at traditional powers Jackson and Star Valley.
Seniors Andrew Feller, Pedro Vasquez and Chase Wellner, juniors Mat Abraham, Zander Andreasen, Grant Nickles and Quin Wetzel and sophomore Ben Wetzel will be part of a 127-runner field when boys' action gets started at the 3A championship event.
While the Panthers will be dark horses when it comes to team hardware come Saturday, recent history says not to count the team out. It was just two years ago that the Panther boys suffered a similar low finish at the conference meet, only to come storming back and pick up a team trophy once the dust settled at the 3A state meet. The Panthers also have candidates for a possible spot on the medal podium when it comes to the individual awards. Both Andreasen and Feller have clocked impressive times for the Panther boys. On the girls' side, Morrow and Sanders both have solid state performances to their credit in previous years.
"State is always a fun meet," Panther cross country coach Cliff Boos said after Powell's conference performance. "It's always fun to see how the runners from the east come together with the ones here in the west and how that changes things."
The state cross country meet will take place at the Douglas Golf Course. The 3A girls' championship race will raise the starting gun at 11:50 a.m. The 3A boys' championship race will conclude the day's championship action at 1:30 p.m. The awards ceremony will immediately follow the 3A boys' race. In the event of frost, race times could be delayed.
Spectators making the trip to Douglas for state cross country are asked to utilize the Park and Ride service being offered this season to minimize vehicle congestion around the Douglas Golf Course. Spectators are asked to park at Barling Park, located approximately a half mile from the course. A free shuttle bus service sponsored by Douglas High School will ferry spectators to and from the golf course throughout the day.
Signs will direct fans from the highway to parking areas at Barting Park. Shuttle buses will run to and from the cross country meet throughout the day. Fans are asked to please make use of the service to minimize congestion and parking issues around the state championship course.

Panther defense menaces Cody for seven turnovers, three scores in 41-0 win
Number-one Powell intercepted Cody quarterbacks five times Friday returning three of the picks for touchdowns to transform the latest installment of the Park County rivalry into a 41-0 blowout victory. Junior Matthew Widdicombe was responsible for two of the interceptions returned for touchdowns.

[Update 1:00PM PST 5/9/2011]: Apparently, the wording in Sunday's Bloomberg news report (the basis of our original story) wasn't entirely accurate. According to Sony spokesman Patrick Seybold, Sony hasn't confirmed a relaunch date for the PlayStation Network, and the May 31 "deadline" in the Bloomberg article is incorrect (via VentureBeat). Gaming site GiantBomb is also reporting that they've since confirmed with Sony that no PSN relaunch deadline has been established.
[Original]: Sony said today that it's still "uncertain" when the PlayStation Network will be back up and running, following a hack that saw members' personal data stolen. Somewhat surprisingly, though, the company still expects to have the service fully back up and running by the end of May.
Speaking with Bloomberg today, Sony spokesperson Shigenori Yoshida said the company was still "uncertain" when the PlayStation Network and Qriocity would be back up. However, Yoshida said that Sony was confident that by May 31, the new security measures would be in place and both services would be fully restored. One would hope that certain elements will be resorted before then, though.
Sony's past estimates for restoration have been a touch too optimistic. On April 26, the company said it expected to have some services restored within a week. Come May 1, it said again that some parts of PSN would be back up within a week, starting with important things like online multiplayer. The restoration update was going through internal testing on May 6. Today, May 9, nothing has returned yet.
There's still no firm word on when Sony's MMO division, Sony Online Entertainment, will be resume service. SOE was also hacked and subsequently brought offline for analysis and repairs, leaving players unable to play games including DC Universe Online.

Q: Our day lily is planted in full sun and has been in the garden for seven years. The plant, which has produced a mass of blooms each year until this one, has grown large, with many very green leaves, but no flowers.
A: Depending on the variety, day lilies can flower from late May to August. You don't say when your plant usually blooms, but I gather it usually will have begun producing flowers by now. If this is so, the issue could be the lateness of the season. Cool, wet weather has promoted masses of green, lush growth and delayed bloom in some plants.
When a day lily clump has become very large and the flowers become smaller and fewer, it is probably time for dividing, in the spring as new shoots begin emerging.
As a rule, though, most day lilies need dividing only every 10 years or so.
Q: What is the best way to remove suckering stems growing from the lower trunk of my wisteria vine?
A: On woody plants like wisteria, removing suckering growth by grasping it firmly and pulling it downward or sideways gives a better chance of removing other potential points of follow-up growth at the stem's base. Cutting usually leaves them.
Q: Why are some cauliflower heads purple on the floret stems? The colour is attractive in salads, but I'm wondering whether it indicates a problem. Someone told me the purplish colouring was a beneficial trait.
A: I agree that the colouring is quite beautiful, and it does not affect the taste of the cauliflower.
Some attribute the purple-blue pigmentation to low soil fertility or moisture stress; others to the plant's reverting to genetic traits in its heritage. Cauliflower belongs to a plant family that includes vegetables rich in anthocyanins, pigments responsible for red, purple, and blue colours of fruits and vegetables. Examples are red cabbage, broccoli, and kale.

The vinyl version of this album is pressed on 180 GRAM wax and includes a specially screened poster and inserts made by the band. There is also a special limited edition (500) tin CD available only through Alternative Tentacles mailorder and the band themselves which features the bands logo screened onto a tin container, and includes the album, sticker, button, etc - hand numbered!
"Damn dude. This could be the best thing I've ever gotten to review.
These guys would fit nicely on a bill with The Catholic Boys. Just a
little more straight forward than the CB's spasmodics, with more East
Bay Ray-style hooks. A lot of jerks get on myspace.com and befriend me
(and Horizontal Action) thinking little ol' us are their ticket to
booze, chix and their big showbiz dream: a slot in the next Blackout
[*Chicago Rock 'n Roll Festival]. Sorry fellas, but I'm small tatters
in the Horizontal Action hierarchy, but more importantly, your bands
ain't shit compared to this, and unlike The Sermon, you're just
rehashing the same ol' safe-and-tired tricks like some washed-up Van
Nuys stripper. The lead singer even plays a theremin in the middle of
this craziness. McThrobb is throbbin' over this one ladies, so come on
over and join me in the hottub."
- Horizontal Action
"Stop me if you've heard this one in the last twenty years or so, but I
think the hottest rockin' album of the month is on... Alternative
Tentacles? Straight-up garage a la the Makers or Cynics (minus the
tambourine as an instrument of male pleasure), with the operative
difference being that they actually print the lyrics-and they're not
about how the singer's penis is actually that of a large, fearsome,
stylish wolf or anything of that nature, either. Wacky! What can I say?
A garage album that would sound not at all out of place taped on the
back of the same cassette as you have your Knockout Pills album taped
on the front. What I find most amusing is how the songs with outright
sociopolitical content- "No Beast So Fierce", "Luzerne County", "Hand
to Hand"- are smirkfully reminiscent of the two-"worship"-songs-minimum
that I understand performers are required to commit to before obtaining
gigs at Christian coffeehouses. All the same, I can't say as I saw this
'un coming. Keen. BEST SONG: "Tender Sin", but I also really like the
psychedelic "Surprise", although it kind of pissed me off that I spent
so much time trying to figure out who originally did it before I saw
that it was written by the drummer. BEST SONG TITLE: "491"-what can I
say? Prime numbers command respect! FANTASTIC AMAZING TRIVIA FACT: If
the song "Exterminator" is, as it appears, to be about the William S.
Burroughs book of the same name, my understanding is that it should end
with an exclamation point."
- Rev. Norb in Razorcake
"There's something about the garage-soul combination that kicks the
doors down. Think about it- BellRays, Dirtbombs, Delta 72, John Wilkes
Booze Explosion, Spencer, et al-the genre has an unusually high
incidence of excellence. The Sermon, out of San Francisco, continues in
this very fine tradition, drawing on ex-members of The Fells, Mount
McKinleys and The Revelers to make its beer-stained magic. On Volume
the band's debut, these four retro hard rockers churn out high energy
rock-and-soul built on simple, repetitive riffs and riding the rocket
of speed, intensity and effort. "Tender Sin"'s buzzing bass and drums
intro tells you everything you need to know about The Sermon-it's a
muscular tease that builds and builds until the singer crashes through
it with a rock and roll yell. "Luzerne County" is less of a vamp and
more of an attack, its fast, fist-pumping riff leading into an
echoplexed breakdown, its sweaty, full-on vocals charged with MC5-ish
passion. Volume's hardest hitting tracks are clustered toward the front
end. The band's softer, psychier side gets a turn with "Surprise", a
jangling, Nuggets-ready power ballad. "Miss A", too, leans melodically
toward power pop, but without sacrificing the thick, garage-rock guitar
riffs that give the album structure. The Sermon recalls People Get
Ready-era Mooney Suzuki, retro, hard-rocking, tinged with psyche and
soul and powered by monolithic riffs. They're probably a monster live,
too. If you like '60s-referencing garage at all, you'll have no problem
sitting through The Sermon."

A 12-pound box full of bottles and bags of unused pills was obliterated into a heap of ashes Wednesday inside a fiery vault.
A 12-pound box full of bottles and bags of unused pills was obliterated into a heap of ashes Wednesday morning inside a fiery vault at the Henderson County Sheriff's Office impound lot.
Prescription drug abuse is a big problem in the county, with the Sheriff's Office estimating that 85 percent of the crimes they respond to are tied to substance abuse. In an effort to curb crime, the department used money seized from drug crimes to purchase an incinerator – the likes of which puts them in the company of the Department of Defense and nearly all U.S. military branches.
They all have one. And now the county has one too.
Deputies fired it up for the first time last week, and pills that may have otherwise been flushed down commodes, buried in landfills, swiped by abusers or shipped off for destruction are now reduced to ashes without punishing the environment. The price of shipping drugs has been replaced by the lower cost of using the incinerator.
On Saturday, the Sheriff's Office will host an Operation Medicine Drop to christen its new state-of-the-art medical waste incinerator. The Sheriff's Office cannot accept chemotherapy drugs, sharps or syringes.
A retired U.S. Postal Service drop box, donated to the department and renewed with a fresh coat of paint, acts as a permanent collection site for unused medications throughout the week. The box sits inside the lobby of the Sheriff's Office at 100 N. Grove Street, open 8-5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
To maintain accountability in the department, two officers with two keys are required to open the container. The collection is weighed and noted before it is taken to the incinerator, secured inside a gated enclosure in the password-protected impound lot.
The MediBurn 30 portable medical waste incinerator arrived a few weeks ago, said Maj. Frank Stout.
"We're very blessed that the county allowed us to purchase this and let it be a service to the community," he said.
Henderson County commissioners gave the department clearance to purchase the $27,700 top-of-the-line incinerator with drug forfeiture funds last year.
County Manager Steve Wyatt said Sheriff Charlie McDonald came up with the idea, "and made a really good case about this being the best way to take care of (unused medications)."
The materials — once buried in landfills — have become targets of scavengers in the past. But "when you have a material that can have a nefarious purpose, it's a huge safety issue," Wyatt said.
The incinerator is now an added tool in the Sheriff's Office arsenal to reduce crime. The department's goal is to reduce break-ins by 12 percent in 2014.
"What we're trying to do here is let these drugs get out of peoples' houses. If they're not in there, then the people aren't going to break in and steal them," Stout said. "When folks are addicted ... they have no moral compass to (guide them away from) knocking down grandma and grandpa and taking their drugs. It's very sad ... (this) goes hand-in-hand with our big approach in the reduction of crime and community service for the Sheriff's Office."
As the pills were being collected from the box Wednesday morning, a phone rang in the office; another caller was asking when she could dispose of old medication. Stout said they get those calls a lot.
"We typically take in between 400 and 500 pounds" of medications during a collection, he added. In years past, the department was able to dispose of the unwanted drugs at the county landfill, but environmental protection laws have locked them out of that practice.
Today, deputies are required to package the items up and ship them to a disposal facility out east. They pay for it by the pound.
"It can get very expensive," Stout said. "When we looked at the cost long-term for trying to be able to get rid of unused and unwanted drugs in the community, it was far more practical for us to purchase an incinerator through drug money" than it was to continuously ship the drugs off for destruction.
Evidence technician Arthur Ward said the program is more than just a pill drop. The incinerator can also be used to get rid of other evidence, things that no longer hold "evidentiary value," Stout said. Pounds of seized marijuana can be incinerated without intoxicating fumes.
The 8-foot-tall, 2,440-pound dual-chambered incinerator can reduce up to 30kg of material to ashes in an hour. Piles of medication go up in smoke — clean smoke — in as little as eight minutes. Temperatures can reach more than 1,832 degrees in its chambers.
Other agencies may employ small containers, fired by charcoal or wood, to burn evidence and pills, but the Sheriff's Office is one of the first in the region to use the MediBurn 30, Stout said. "This is truly a state-of-the-art incinerator."
"The sheriff and I have had some discussions about the issues regarding the need to be able to safely eliminate — and I mean eliminate — these materials and there's really only one way to do it," Wyatt said. "We think that we're getting a great return on investment... I applaud the sheriff for putting this together."

Special Olympics today announced the appointment of Ms. Yang Lan, one of China's most prominent media entrepreneurs, talk show host and chairperson of Sun Culture Foundation, as a Special Olympics Global Ambassador. The celebration took place at Haidian Special School in Beijing on September 24 to mark the second annual global Eunice Kennedy Shriver (EKS) Day in honor of the spirit and legacy of Special Olympics' late founder. "As a Global Ambassador for Special Olympics I will focus on two things," said Yang Lan. "The first is to bring more support and encouragement to the millions of families in China and around the world who have family members with intellectual disabilities. The second is to promote a culture of diversity and inclusion in our society so people with disabilities will be more active and visible in Chinese society and around the world. This benefits and strengthens entire communities, not only those with intellectual disabilities," she said.Yang's connection with Special Olympics began in 2006 when the city of Shanghai was preparing to host the 12th Special Olympics World Summer Games. "I was fortunate to have the opportunity to interview Mrs. Shriver and I was so touched by her genuine smile when I saw her with the Special Olympics athletes; it was very heartwarming," said Yang. "I also hosted a forum for families from around the world where they shared their extraordinary stories of love, and the courage that these kids have as they are out there competing - and winning. My emotional connection with Special Olympics started then." Dr. Timothy P. Shriver, Chairman and CEO of Special Olympics, extended his warm congratulations and welcome to Yang Lan's appointment. "There is no one I would feel more proud to entrust with this important task. As a Global Ambassador for Special Olympics, we believe you can lead us in the 21st century, a century filled with expectations and opportunities, hope and potential. Yang Lan, we welcome you to this great Movement and look forward to working closely with you, and your foundation, to promote inclusion, joy and acceptance in China and around the world."Yang today also announced the launch of the Special Olympics Outstanding Volunteer Talent Plan, a new initiative that will see Yang's Sun Culture Foundation partnering with Special Olympics to develop a culture and spirit of volunteerism among China's young people. The program will recruit students from Chinese universities, offer them volunteer training and encourage them to volunteer for 50 hours or more each year for Special Olympics activities in their communities. Participating universities will oversee the volunteers and track their hours of service. One hundred outstanding volunteers will be chosen by Special Olympics East Asia (SOEA) and the Sun Culture Foundation to receive a scholarship of RMB 2000. The pilot phase of the initiative will begin in Beijing and will be extended to more Chinese cities in the future. Demonstrating early enthusiasm for the program, today's event was attended by 70 students from five universities in Beijing including Tsinghua University, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing Sports University, Capital University of Physical Education and Sports and Beijing Union University. Since its founding in 1968, Special Olympics has received the generous support of many outstanding leaders in the fields of sports, politics, entertainment, culture and business. Global Ambassadors from China include Ms. Yang Lan, basketball star Yao Ming and renowned actress Zhang Ziyi.

Nats acquire Span from Twins for Minor Leaguer
By Bill Ladson /11/29/12 7:35 PM ET
WASHINGTON -- The Nationals solved their problems in center field on Thursday, acquiring outfielder Denard Span from the Twins for Minor League right-hander Alex Meyer.
Span, 28, is a player the Nationals have coveted since 2011. There was talk of the Nationals trading closer Drew Storen for Span, who has two years plus an option left on his contract.
"My emotions right now are all over the place, but I'm definitely excited," Span said in a conference call. "I feel very excited to be coming to Washington. A year-and-a-half ago, when I first heard the rumors [about being traded to the Nationals], I don't think I was ready for it. Fast forward to now, I'm definitely ready to come to a team that is in place to win. I hope that I can come here and fit in."
In 2012, Span hit .283 and led the Twins with 38 doubles en route to notching a .342 on-base percentage. It was a comeback season after missing most of 2011 with a concussion.
"I was able to go out and prove that I can still be a good player," Span said. "Just going through [the concussion], it was probably one of the harder things I had to go through."
Span most likely will be Washington's leadoff hitter. Span is a career .284 hitter with 23 home runs, 230 RBIs, 90 stolen bases and 360 runs scored in 589 big league contests spanning five seasons (2008-12) with the Twins.
"I believe I'm a grinder. I try to bring my 'A' game every night," Span said. "I'm definitely going to bring a lot of range in the outfield. I love to go get it. I thrive to be one of the best leadoff hitters in the game. ... I love to start the game, taking pitches and ... try to set the tone."
The acquisition of Span means Bryce Harper will move from center field to left field and Jayson Werth will remain in right. Werth, who was the leadoff hitter during the second half of last year, will be moved down to middle of the order.
"I'm very excited to play with both of those guys -- two All-Star caliber players," Span said. "I feel like I need to step my game up and try to get to the All-Star Game, hopefully. They are going to elevate my game by playing alongside them."
Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo had been talking to the Twins about Span since October. The talks started gaining momentum last week.
"Span fits very well for us. He has outstanding character, is big-time makeup guy, his teammates love him on the field, off the field. He is a big community guy," Rizzo said. "His skill set is something that we were looking for. You are talking about a true defensive ballhawk -- a center field type of guy. ... He is a front-line center fielder. He appeals greatly to us because of his skill set as an offensive player."
If the Nationals are able to re-sign first baseman Adam LaRoche, they will most likely trade Michael Morse, who played left field last year. If LaRoche doesn't sign, Morse most likely will play first base. As of Thursday, LaRoche -- who is seeking a three-year deal -- and the Nats were far apart.
An experienced leadoff hitter, Spans has logged over 96 percent of his big league at-bats at the top of the Twins' batting order.
Span is also difficult to strike out. In 2012, he ranked sixth in the American League by fanning just once every 9.2 plate appearances.
Span was the 10th-most difficult qualified American League player (minimum 1,000 plate appearances) to strike out the last three seasons (9.2 PA/K from 2010-12).
Dating to his rookie campaign of 2008, Span's .357 on-base percentage ranks 10th among all outfielders to amass at least 2,500 plate appearances.
Span also offers strong defensive range and advanced instincts. Last season he led all qualified center fielders in both range factor per nine innings (2.89) and putouts per nine innings (2.84).
In both 2009 and '10, Span's offensive and defensive package helped the Twins capture back-to-back AL Central titles. In six postseason contests with Minnesota, Span hit .357 (10-for-28) with a double and one RBI.
Span, 28, was born in Washington, D.C., but spent the majority of his youth living in the Tampa, Fla., area. He graduated from Tampa Catholic High School before being drafted by Minnesota in the first round (20th overall) of the 2002 First-Year Player Draft.
As for Meyer, he was selected by the Nationals in the first round of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. In his first full season of professional baseball, Meyers was a combined 10-6 with a 2.86 ERA in 25 starts for Class A Hagerstown and Class A Potomac.

Two or more oversized white women fighting it out
by georgiahomeboy113 December 26, 2008
A show on Animal Planet, in which incompetent hippies attempt to stop Japanese whalers from doing their jobs. However, by doing so these worthless tree huggers only make fools of themselves.
While watching Whale Wars the other day, Matt and Kevin realized how much they hate Peter Hammarstedt. Unfortunately, he's a main character on Whale Wars.
by LYCOPROV December 26, 2008
A documentary based show on animal planet, starring a team of incompetent "eco-warriors" on their quest to stop Japanese whaling in the Southern Antarctic. These people value the lives of a completely abundant species of whale, the minke whale, more than their own with such comments as "if I die saving even one whale I don't care". Every episode gets more retarded, with such fuckups as dropping the lifeboat line prematurely almost killing half crew in season 1, blowing the engine of the boat at the end of season 1 due to no trained mechanic being on board, letting their helicopter fall into disuse due to lack of maintenance, ramming the heavy steel Japanese trawlers with their incredibly weak-hulled "Steve-Irwin" boat and terrorizing Japenese crewmen with glass bottles and flash bang grenades. The show progressively becomes more retarded, with such tactics as throwing stinking butter on the deck of the trawlers in order to taint meat making it un-profitable, driving directly into ice-fields a few miles north of the Antarctic nearly sinking the ship and killing the entire crew...
"Whale Wars was on lastnight"
"Did you watch it?"
"Yeah the captain paul watson heard about japanese whalers so he immediately went to his cabin to sleep on the idea while the rest of the crew did nothing"

A dumb tv show where a bunch of incompetent hippies chase the Japanese whaling fleet and others in a futile effort to stop them from doing something that is not wrong or illegal in any way(there whales not people). They have no idea what they are doing at all and generally do dumb things like deliberately ramming other ships, trying to disable the propellers of other ships with ropes, driving through perilous ice fields with a ship that is not designed to drive through ice (which nearly destroys them), making a mess (ie throwing glass bottles, "stinky butter", and flour onto other ships), causing international incidents, illegally boarding other ships and getting decked then complaining about how their crew was taken "hostage", driving around the ocean with inadequate fuel supplies, lying, and generally agrivating the Japanese and others which usually just gets the hippies in trouble. In one episode they tried to interfere with the seal hunt, were boarded by the Canadian Coast Guard and arrested, also their ship was confiscated. They also like to exaggerate things for example the captain claims he was shot but it was just a piece of a flashbang thrown from a Japanese ship. The captain likes to shoot his mouth off on tv and is the least sane of the crew who do whatever he wants. Are bound to have something very bad happen to them if they persist. Please dont watch this show your life is too precious to be wasted on this (unless your watching it to laugh at them ;))
Whale Wars Sucks

Popular game played at mid-west college parties among a group of severely drunk males brave enough to partake. Object, locate and score with the fattest chick you can get. Whoever successfully bags the biggest "whale" wins.

A tradition passed down from generations upon generations in which two young gentlemen partake in periodic challenges of whit and cunning. The two men wager upon how many "whales" they can "harpoon" in one night. In reality it's how many plus size woman they can hook up with at one party.
"Carson's bachelor party was pretty ridiculous last week. It started with taking shots and turned into a hardcore round of whale wars."

Whether the Second Amendment protects an individual right or a collective right is a hot question. ("Under the 'collective right' view, the Second Amendment is a federalism provision that provides to States a prerogative to establish and maintain armed and organized militia units akin to the National Guard, and only States may assert this prerogative.") Glenn alludes to the collective right view here:
The twin purposes of self and community defense may very well lie behind the Second Amendment's language encompassing both the importance of a well-regulated militia and the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. As the constitutional and criminal law scholar Don Kates has noted in the journal Constitutional Commentary, thinkers at the time when the Constitution was written drew no real distinction between resisting burglars, foreign invaders or domestic tyrants: All were wrongdoers that good citizens had the right, and the duty, to oppose with force.Don't you have to adopt the collective right view to believe people can be forced to possess guns?

North Medford's newest addition to its football staff just happens to be someone who has one of the longest relationships with head coach Mike Mitchell.
Mitchell has brought on board a familiar name to Rogue Valley football fans in Jim Figoni, who stepped down in January as head coach at Hidden Valley after 19 seasons with the school during his second tenure in Murphy. Figoni also coached Hidden Valley from 1984-86 for 22 overall seasons with the Mustangs.
For the Black Tornado, Mitchell said Figoni will serve as the offensive line coach this fall. Current North Medford assistant coach Tom Powell will move to linebackers.
"I think Jim's going to be a real addition to the staff," Mitchell said Monday. "I think he's an outstanding line coach and I'm really excited to get him."
Figoni was in Florida on Monday and unavailable for comment. He compiled a 114-103 record while at Hidden Valley, making the playoffs 10 times and advancing to the state quarterfinals on three occasions.
The relationship between Mitchell and Figoni spans 40 years and began innocently enough in 1973 when Mitchell was the head coach at South Albany.
"I was teaching and minding my own business one day when the principal called up and said I better come down and talk to this guy," said Mitchell. "(Figoni) had dropped in as an English teacher at the time and we had an opening and we hired him within an hour, he was that impressive."
In their second season together, South Albany won seven straight games to finish 7-2 and secure its first winning season in school history.
"We became decent in a hurry and I attribute a lot of that success to him," added Mitchell.
When Mitchell left to become head coach at Grants Pass High in 1975, Figoni remained at South Albany and inherited the head coaching duties.
Mitchell later moved over to Hidden Valley High and brought Figoni on board during his final season in 1983. When Mitchell left for Oregon City, Figoni took over as head coach of the Mustangs in 1984.
Once Mitchell returned to the Rogue Valley last season he put a call into Figoni but was rebuffed for the time being.
"I almost got him when I first got here but he wanted to go at least one more year at Hidden Valley," said Mitchell.
A little more sweet-talking from his long-time friend helped seal the deal for the 2013 season.
"He's excited about this," added Mitchell. "He sees the challenge here and he'll have fun with this."
Of particular interest for Mitchell is Figoni's ability to mold smaller-built linemen. When Figoni was a three-year letterman for the University of Oregon and served as center in the Dan Fouts era, Mitchell said he was the smallest listed center in the Pac-10 at 212 pounds.
"What I always liked about him is he's really good at taking smaller guys and molding them by teaching really good techniques in blocking," said Mitchell. "We're a little undersized sometimes up front and I think he's going to be a really great addition to help us with that."
One piece of their history will have to change if Mitchell has anything to say about it.
"I'm not going to give this job up to him in a year," laughed the Black Tornado head coach. "I'm not close to being ready for that."
Last year, North Medford finished 2-8 overall and went 1-6 in Southwest Conference play to finish seventh, while Hidden Valley was 5-4 overall and fourth in the Class 4A Skyline Conference at 2-3.
SOME SLIGHT MOVEMENT on upcoming reclassification occurred last week but still nothing that stands to appease those in southern Oregon hoping for a five-classification system.
The Oregon School Activities Association's classification and districting committee reaffirmed their consensus on recommending a six-classification system during an April 30 meeting, along with the implementation of adjusted average daily membership (ADM) figures for a school's classification total.
What did change were the cutoff limits for each of the six proposed classifications, altering the Southern Oregon Conference and Midwestern League lists that are populated by this area's Class 6A and 5A teams. With the cutoff point for Class 6A moving to 1,260-and-over and the 5A from 710-1,259, Thurston (1,263) was elevated from the MWL to the SOC.
The new SOC draft includes North Medford, South Medford, Grants Pass, Roseburg, Sheldon, South Eugene, Thurston and Willamette. The MWL would consist of Ashland, Crater, Eagle Point, Churchill, Marist, North Eugene and Springfield.
In making the move, committee members said they believed having eight teams in the SOC at 6A was more critical than having eight MWL teams since 6A schools in this region often have a more difficult time scheduling teams from other classifications.
Other cutoff levels were adjusted to 325-709 for Class 4A, 191-324 for Class 3A, 90-190 for Class 2A and 89-and-under for Class 1A.
The change in cutoff points also brought about a new grouping for the 3A Southern Cascade League, with Cascade Christian, St. Mary's, Rogue River and Illinois Valley joined now by Bandon, Coquille and Glide.
The committee will meet throughout this school year and will make its final recommendations in October for the 2014-18 time block to the OSAA Executive Board. The next meeting is May 20 in Wilsonville.
CHANGES COULD BE on the horizon when it comes to state championship formats. The OSAA's state championship committee held its second meeting on April 29 and, among other issues, is debating a revision to the basketball and volleyball tournament formats. That revision involves the potential elimination of consolation games and/or creating a Final Four format.
The committee has reached a consensus to support implementing regional qualifying models in all individual sports except swimming. This change would include cross country, golf, tennis and track and field. Regional qualifying already takes place in wrestling.
The next meeting of the state championship committee is June 3, with a final recommendation to be made in February for the 2015-18 time block.

This has been one of the reasons for its popularity, which peaked in the 1970s. Other benefits are its being able to hold its form well and its resilience against mold and mildew damage. And also, polyester is a durable synthetic and an extremely heat-sensitive fabric that is prone to absorbing oily stains. Quickly treat oil-based stains to prevent permanent damage to polyester fabric before washing. When laundering, use light duty laundry detergent and a vinegar rinse as cleaning agents, and avoid using excessive heat in the washing machine and dryer to prevent damage to the fabric's synthetic fibers. •l _Inspect the polyester fabric for stains. If stains are found, squirt the stain remover directly on the spot or spots. Place an absorbent cloth under the stain, lay the fabric on top of the cloth, and use a second cloth to dab inward from the outer edge of the spot. This will push some of the stain into the cloth underneath, and some will go into the wiping cloth. Avoid wiping outward to prevent spreading the stain. Repeat as needed to remove the stain •l Use a washing machine to wash any polyester clothing. This works fine for most polyester mix fabrics as well. Place the washing machine setting on Permanent Press. Set the temperature to warm--not hot and not cold •l Use fabric softener with your polyester clothing, to minimize or prevent its tendency to become stiff and sometimes itchy •l Hang the polyester clothing on a clothesline to dry. You may also dry it in an electric or gas dryer, but on a low setting. Because polyester holds creases so well, make sure to remove it from the dryer promptly and hang it up or fold it to prevent serious creasing •l Have your polyester clothing dry cleaned if you don't want to wash it yourself. Most polyester clothing is safe for dry cleaning •l Use hand dishwashing liquid to remove spots from some polyester clothing items. It can work very well. If you're reluctant to try dishwashing liquid for spot removal, buy a spot remover that lists polyester •l Put baby powder on a piece of polyester clothing if you get oil on it. Place the powder directly on the oil spot. After letting it set for an hour or more, wash the garment in the washing machine_ Package Included: 1 x Pair of Jumpsuits

I saw her in a youtube clip about Americans hating Canada and she doesn't sound like a vrey nice person... There's something sinister about her.
I saw her in a youtube clip about Americans hating Canada and she doesn't sound like a vrey nice person... There's something sinister about her.
There are MANY of us who would agree with you on that.
as sarah silverman would say she's magic!
Anne Coulter is a rabid cunt
In before lock!
I hate that women, Cady. She is a Mean Girl. She's a bitch!
She is a student of BARBRA STREISAND!!
Wikipedia is a great resource.
."We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
(Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan)
Say what you will about this media whore, she makes a mean chocolate chip cookie!
During a time when SNL used to be funny, this was a nice parody of the Chris Matthews program "Hardball."
Chris Matthews: I knew booking you was a good idea! Ann Coulter, you melted Barbie doll - you got anything else?!
Ann Coulter: This program is full of lies, and treason, and uh.. slanderous lies, treasontons, slandertons.. tries.. rander.. and sleazen! And, if you want me on the show again, the answer is Yes.
Chris Matthews: [ laughs ] Good Lord! I would call you "media whore", but I feel that would be offensive to whores! Ha!! Karl Rove, any final words before you slink back into the shadowy cave where you ocntrol the whole world?!
I think you're mistaken her name is Anne CUNTer!
She's a lady woman female person thing who often makes unsavory remarks just so that she'll continually be asked to appear on FOX News. And her face looks like Felicity Huffman's in TransAmerica.
Good link:
Well, on a scale of 1 to 10 of Margaret Thatcher, where does she rank?
BTW, how does that song go about Thatcher?
Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.
Give a man religion, and he'll starve praying for a fish.
I've met het, unfortunately... and yes, the rumours are true... she is a twat.
She's great.
Ann Coulter is a mudslinging Republican hack whose claim to fame is writing political books about her hatred for Liberals (read Democrats). She is most likely asexual since she dates neither men nor women (as if anyone would want to date her). A skinny bitch, she's about one meal short of slipping through her own asshole and hanging herself.
She's a few ...okay,a lot more than a few steps over the top.She's too cartoonish,too nasty...I hate politiical correctness and oversensitivity,but she seems to revel in riling up her enemies.Too much.
I like Anne Coulter.
She will lie about anything for a buck.
I say we all get together and throw pies at her...no missing this time.
She tells it like it is that is why all the liberals hate her soooo much! My suggestion is to read one of her books and make up your own mind.
8) If we weren't all Cr azy we would go insan e! 8)
I'm not exactly sure why people go so crazy over her... All I know is that she is some loud mouthed bitch that writes political books and talks about the widows of 9/11 being happy their husbands died because rthey got a lot of money. I wish someone would launch a missle up her cunt. I'll bet that will shut her up.
"we are lucky we allow them to live on the same continent."
"because they speak french, we like the english speaking canadians"
what a twat
I just watched the video........... wow she must be reverend phelps love child.
She has a quick wit, but can also deliver some stinging barbs. I think a lot of the things she says she does for the reactions of other people. If anything, she does get people to talking about issues. She's a frequent guest on Hannity and Colmes.
Here's her website:
She's also a columnist. Here's a site that features her column:
Maybe a bit sarcastic but why should someone's opinions be influenced by the thoughts of others when they have not read her words? I truly believe that one's opinions should be formed by themselves after examining ALL sides of an issue--taking many different view points into consideration.
8) If we weren't all Cr azy we would go insan e! 8)
Now I have heard of her in the past but never really caught her on TV or read her book. Just watched a ton of clips on youtube.
In all honesty Its like she says things just to get a rise out of people. Still though its amazing what she will say right to peoples faces. I dont know if thats courage or just being downright vicious.
Will have to keep watching though to fully form my opinion on her.
What is her stance on homosexuals? Not good I assume as a conservative but didnt find any actual clips of her bashing directly. Link some if you got some Id like to see them.
Annie C............yawn
I think she's doing Hannity
She's the Devil's wife.
Here's a sample of some of her musings. The problem is she's not presented herself as a "satirist."
Sadistic American/Liberal hating bitch, but never a satirist.
Rates right up there with Mark Twain in here wit, and humor wouldn't you agree?Funny and Outrageous Ann Coulter Quotes
"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband's deaths so much." -on 9/11 widows who have been critical of the Bush administration
"We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee. That's just a joke, for you in the media."
"Liberals love America like O.J. loved Nicole."
"There are a lot of bad republicans; there are no good democrats."
"We need to execute people like (John Walker Lindh) in order to physically intimidate liberals."
"Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots."
"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity."
"Liberals are stalwart defenders of civil liberties -- provided we're only talking about criminals."
"The New York Times editorial page is like a Ouija board that has only three answers, no matter what the question. The answers are: higher taxes, more restrictions on political speech and stricter gun control."
"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building."
"Usually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening."
"We've finally given liberals a war against fundamentalism, and they don't want to fight it. They would, except it would put them on the same side as the United States."
"If John Kerry had a dollar for every time he bragged about serving in Vietnam -- oh wait, he does."
"Press passes can't be that hard to come by if the White House allows that old Arab Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the President."
"The swing voters -- I like to refer to them as the idiot voters because they don't have set philosophical principles. You're either a liberal or you're a conservative if you have an IQ above a toaster."
source: Ann Coulter Quotes
Favorite comment quote read on Youtube: "My Laptop fell off the back of the boat, and now I have a Dell Rolling in the Deep."
She gives me an Excedrin headache.
OMG! Some of these responses are so hilarious! As I said, MANY agree with you that she's a witch...including me. She's really quite out of her mind.
She's a pathetic hate mongering bitch that should neither be respected or given attention. Also metta did her last book really sell badly, if so maybe that means people will start paying attention to someone worthwhile.
"It's strange to have a creation out there, a deeply mutated version of yourself, running loose and screwing everything up. I wonder if this is how parents feel." Dexter Morgan
Dear Brits: Don't let any young children near her, OK?
two words to describe ann coulter
Paris Hitler......
Good for nothing except a pretty face for fox....
I was curious about her last book doing poorly but I saw that it spent a longer time on the New York Times Best Sellers than her previous books.
Hopefully this makes you feel better. Coulter talking out her ass and was caught...
"Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.'' - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
...you're a conservative if you have an IQ above a toaster
Having been an avid usenet reader for years, there is one Daniel Joseph Min, a rabid ultra Nazi style Xtian who worships the ground Ann Coulter contaminates with her presence. AC is so blinkered in her political views that every time she opens up her gob, shit pour out like no other such filth in the world.
As for that Phelps-Roper woman, they are two sides of the same coin, as far as I'm concerned.
Ann Coulter "highlights"
"Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.'' - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
the cunt talking about 9/11 widows.Ann Coulter
These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. These self-obsessed women seemed genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation and acted as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them. ... I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much ... the Democrat ratpack gals endorsed John Kerry for president ... cutting campaign commercials... how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce these harpies? Now that their shelf life is dwindling, they'd better hurry up and appear in Playboy.
that bitch going to burn in hell
She's like Bill O'Reilly, except her caustic comments aren't backed by even half an ounce of intelligence. Not to say that I'm an O'Reilly fan. He's got his fair share of nastiness too. I hate them both, and most importantly, I hate Fox for harboring demons.
A lot of quotes above there were true, esp. about wartime. As Christopher Hitchens also put, the so-called anti-war activists really aren't; they are pro-the other side.
She is an actor.
She plays a role of a complete rabid republican dog, who bites at liberals with her barbs. She says the things she says for the audience reaction, a reaction which had made her wealthy for her first three books, but now is overdone and dried up.
I don't know whats sadder, people that actually used to listen to her, believe her and follow her on the Republican side, or that she is just doing it as a role to make money, and thus stir up such hatred and fascism just for the sake of money.
I've never heard of her until now.. she sounds like the Anita Bryant of the 21 century

In January we will begin our countdown of the Top 50 Soap Actresses of All Time. We have received a number of questions about the list and are answering them here in this F.A.Q.
Where did the idea for the list come from?
We are huge fans of so many of the wonderful actresses who have graced our television screens and continue to do so and wanted to honor them in some way. Many of them have never been recognized by the Daytime Emmys, and in some cases, it's quite surprising.
How did you compile the list?
Along with We Love Soaps editors Roger Newcomb and Damon L. Jacobs we assembled a team of subject matter experts who have covered the industry or worked in the industry (or both) and asked each to submit their Top 25 list. We combined all these lists into one comprehensive Top 50 Countdown.
The judges panel consisted of Alan Carter, Claire Labine, Connie Passalacqua Hayman (aka Marlena De Lacroix), Damon L. Jacobs, Jonathan Reiner, Lynn Leahey, Lynn Liccardo, Mala Bhattacharjee, Mimi Torchin, Nelson Aspen, Nelson Branco, Roger Newcomb, Thom Racina and Tony Calega.
Can one person influence the vote?
Ranking someone #1 on your list definitely has weight but the Top 50 is made up only of actresses that appeared on multiple lists. In fact, there were more than 50 actresses mentioned on multiple lists and we will do an "honorable mention" celebration for those who just missed the cut once the countdown is finished.
Is the list weighted to favor current actresses?
The list consists of actresses from many eras dating back to radio and is quite comprehensive.
What can we expect from the countdown?
For each actress, we'll provide a career retrospective, classic videos where possible, comments from the judges and, in some cases, comments from their directors, producers, writers or fellow actors. Many great classic photos have been contributed by Rob Wargo and Roch Bellefeuille.

Why Use TALON Cobalt Resin for His Tag Purification?
TALON His-Tag Purification Resin lets you prepare exceptionally pure his-tagged proteins from bacterial, mammalian, yeast, and baculovirus-infected cells, under native or denaturing conditions. TALON is an immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) resin charged with cobalt, which binds to his-tagged proteins with higher specificity than nickel-charged resins. As a result, TALON resin delivers his-tagged proteins of the highest purity.
The cobalt ions in TALON are more selective for histidine tags than nickel ions are. This means that using Ni-NTA resins often results in copurification of contaminants. Another advantage of TALON resin is that you can elute your his-tagged protein at a mild pH or lower imidazole concentration.
Figure 1. 6xHN-AcGFP1 was purified from Sf21 cells using TALON (left) or Ni-NTA (right). The chromatogram for each column is shown. The absorbance at 475 nm indicates the amount of target protein (AcGFP1) present in each fraction.
Figure 2. 6xHis-tagged protein (prepro-alpha-factor) was loaded onto TALON and Ni-NTA columns, eluted by stepwise pH, and analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The protein was eluted from TALON resin at pH = 6.3 and from Ni-NTA resin at pH = 4.5.
Figure 3. The fluorescent signal of green fluorescent protein (GFPuv) was completely enriched by TALON resin. 6xHis-tagged GFPuv was extracted from fresh cells and purified using TALON cobalt resin. Panel A. GFP elution profile. Panel B. SDS-PAGE analysis.
Figure 4. Purification of 6xHis-tagged GFPuv under denaturing conditions. The fusion protein was purified in 8 M urea using TALON cobalt resin. M=molecular weight markers.
Reduced sulfhydryl (-SH) groups are important to the biological activity and structure of some intracellular proteins, and BME is often used to preserve these reduced -SH groups. TALON resin provides higher yields of his-tagged proteins that contain reduced -SH groups in the presence of BME compared to Ni-NTA resin.
Figure 5. N-terminal 6xHis-tagged DHFR was expressed and purified under native conditions. Protein concentrations
were determined by Bradford assay. Yields are expressed as a percentage of total protein in the cell lysate.
TALON resin is based on the cobalt ion, which is highly selective for his-tagged proteins (1-3). This makes TALON resin a better choice than Ni-NTA resin:

There seems some question of how from the narrow confines of the OP a discussion can go. For example, see http://www.justusboys.com/forum/thre...=1#post8555880.
To put in other terms, if I pose an ON-TOPIC about red maples, can someone mention non-red maples or that they don't like maples at all and prefer birches?
Your thoughts?

Welcome to Charlotte 49ers Sports Medicine. Out of the many facets of an Athletic Department, there are few programs more important than Sports Medicine. At Charlotte, our mission and commitment is to provide the highest quality health care while educating the student-athlete in good health practices and injury prevention.
All of our athletic training rooms here at Charlotte are staffed with BOC® Certified and North Carolina Licensed Athletic Trainers. Our staff includes six full-time Certified Athletic Trainers supported by six Intern Athletic Trainers. The Charlotte 49ers Sports Medicine staff provides injury recognition, acute injury care, emergency management, injury rehabilitation, professional development, nutritional guidance and injury prevention techniques to all of our student athletes.
At Charlotte, our Athletic Trainers develop relationships with student-athletes as individuals and have a comprehensive understanding of each athlete's medical backgrounds. Being fortunate enough to have a unique situation of one athletic trainer per team provides for an efficient and streamlined standard of care in the unfortunate event that an issue may occur.
The Charlotte 49ers Head Team Physician Dr. Robert Jones, Head Team Orthopedic Physician Dr. James Fleischli and Orthopedic Physician Dr. Michael Dockery, all help direct our athletic trainers to providing optimal healthcare. Alongside our team physicians, Director of Athletic Training A.J. Lukjanczuk, provides healthcare primarily for the Charlotte 49ers Football Program acting as the head athletic trainer as well as shadowing our 15 varsity sports. Other members of our sports medicine team include our team dentist, optometrist, chiropractor, registered dietitian, sports psychologist, physical therapist, and other healthcare specialists. All of these professionals are devoted to providing the highest quality medical services to our 400+ student-athletes.
In correlation to our Sports Medicine staff, the Student Health Center provides medical care to all students including our student-athletes. A great working relationship between the two departments has been developed as a result of hard work and understanding of the unique needs and requirements of student-athletes. Any non-emergency medical event can be referred to the Student Health Center for further evaluation, laboratory work, X-Rays, or pharmacy needs and is conveniently located directly on campus.
All medical care for a student-athlete begins with the athletic trainer. They have specific training and knowledge for each sport allowing them to work closely with team physicians, coaches, strength/conditioning staff, and student-athletes to design workouts that will improve their athletic ability. More importantly, athletic trainers are able to evaluate student-athletes to identify conditions that may predispose them to injury then prepare and execute a plan to remedy the condition. Athletic trainers are in a unique position to provide care as they have a solid relationship with student-athletes before they ever have a medical issue. Unfortunately, injuries are a part of athletics. If an injury does occur, our athletic trainers are present at all team activities both home and away. They are able to see it happen, immediately provide acute care, formulate and execute a rehabilitation plan to quickly and safely return the student-athlete to competition.
