Definition of ostracoderm in English:
ostracodermSyllabification: os·tra·co·derm
Pronunciation: /ˈästrəkōˌdərm /
An extinct jawless fish of the Cambrian to Devonian periods, having a heavily armored body.
- Class Agnatha: several orders
More example sentences
- By the Middle Devonian the armoured jawless ostracoderms were in decline, and instead the jawed fish were undergoing a great evolutionary radiation in both the sea and in freshwater.
- With their armored head shield and trunk shield composed of overlapping bony plates, the placoderms appear at first glance extremely similar to the ostracoderms (armoured jawless fish).
- These were jawless, armored fish informally called ostracoderms, but more correctly placed in the taxon Pteraspidomorphi.
late 19th century: from modern Latin Ostracodermi (former taxonomic name), from Greek ostrakon 'shell' + derma 'skin'.

For the first time in what seems like years, the Indianapolis Colts dominated an opponent. To be fair, that opponent was the Houston Texans, who the Colts defeated 25-3.
The Texans have quite clearly given up on the season, and once the Colts got a slight lead, they gave up on Sunday as well. Houston could have been spotted a couple touchdowns on Sunday and still would have lost. They're that pathetic right now.
A lot of people in the media have overhyped the play of the Colts on Sunday. I agree it was a good win, and the Texans still have a fair amount of talent (read: JJ Watt and Andre Johnson). It would have been more troubling if this had been a close game where the Colts couldn't get separation against a bad opponent.
Let's get one thing straight: Trent Richardson did NOT have a great game. He finished the day with a 3.4 average. Donald Brown? He was averaging 7.6 before getting hurt. Richardson's big 22-yard run was an aberration. A blip on an uneventful day. Take away that run, and you get an average of 2.3 yards per carry. Yes, he was more productive than he has been all season, but the stories from Bob Kravitz (who went over the top twice), Mike Chappell and ESPN's Mike Wells are way overblown.
Did the Colts use Richardson better? Of course. But its clear right now that Brown is the better runner, but has spent his career battling injuries that hold him back. The Colts offensive line continues to create holes that Richardson simply doesn't have the vision or speed to hit. He is constantly missing opportunities for big yardage.
Let's put Richardson's day in context. He had a few big plays, against a 2-11 opponent (which has clearly given up on the season), and with a 22-point lead. The Colts could have gone three-and-out every drive in the second half and the Texans still wouldn't have won.
Pro Football Focus gave Richardson a grade of 0.3, slightly above average. Where did he struggle? Well, he was -1.1 running the ball. He was decent in pass protection and when used in the passing attack, but where he is really needed most, on the ground, he's simply not very good.
My current theory about Richardson is that he was spoiled at Alabama. He didn't have to make difficult reads or cuts because his NFL-caliber offensive line created gaping holes for him to run through. Richardson generally had to just make linebackers and safeties miss and he had a big gain. That's not happening in the NFL and he hasn't done much to adjust for how much faster play is in the pros.
Here are somethings that stood out:
- Shut Down. The Colts managed to lock down Johnson and Watt on Sunday. Easily the Texans two best players. Johnson clearly had an off day and dropped a number of easy passes. Vontae Davis did a nice job covering him, but he was helped by Johnson's bad day. As for Watt, he had his second worst game of the season. He accounted for one QB hit and another hurry. He had just five tackles (and only one by himself), and was below average when it came to rushing the passer. He was double teamed a lot on the line, but it really looks like he had a bad day.
- Griff Whalen and Da'Rick Rogers. With LaVon Brazill out, Whalen took snaps and made the most of his time on the field. Whalen was on the field for 36 plays (Darrius Heyward-Bey for just 13) and finished with four catches 45 yards and a touchdown. Rogers struggled in the passing game just a week after getting his first NFL touchdowns. Andrew Luck's first TD and interception came on plays to Whalen and Rogers, respectively. They both ran the same route, but can you guess who ran it better? Rogers just isn't as crisp on his cuts as Whalen, and it didn't fool the defender who jumped the route and stole a Colts touchdown.
- Robert Mathis is unreal. He set a franchise record for most sacks in a season and career in a Colts uniform on Sunday. The fact that he forced a fumble on the record breaker is all the more fitting. The resulting safety simply put an exclamation point on the whole thing. At this point, Mathis is the entirety of the Colts pass rush with the next best players at 3.5 sacks (Jerrell Freeman and Cory Redding). At this point in the season, its asking too much to expect someone else to pick up the slack, so lets just hope Mathis has a lot left in the tank.
There isn't a whole lot to say about this game. The Texans are done this year, and have been for a few weeks now. The Colts simply handled their business and kept Houston winless in Indianapolis.
Up next, the Colts will travel to Kansas City to face the Chiefs. There is a good chance that this will be a preview of the Wild Card playoff matchup. This would be a big upset to pull off on the road (hint: shut down Jamaal Charles).

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Yes, it's January, but to tech lovers and gadget gurus, Monday was like Christmas Eve in Las Vegas where the final touches were applied before the Consumer Electronics Industry's big international show unwraps.
Some say the show has lost that cutting-edge feel in recent years, but Consumer Reports Electronics editor Glenn Dareene said it's really the change in the times.
"Things that are not your traditional consumer electronics are becoming big at the show and some other industries have found their way into the show as well," he said.
In addition to automakers showing off their wares, there are things like home appliances sharing the floor, which reveals how technology has permeated all aspects of life.
Among the top trends at the show this week is defining the new area of wearable technology.
"The Google glasses at the height of sophistication, all the way down to the pedometer at the lower end of it, where it's just tracking how many steps you took that day," Dareene said. "A device can fall anywhere across that spectrum. I think you're going to see things get more advanced over time though, as the cost to make something like that drops."
There's also still room for big TVs. One update at this year's show was curved screens -- and to think, just a few years ago, flat screens were all the rage.

Whereas amino acids produced by inorganic reactions are equally split between two mirror-image versions, the amino acids found in living things are almost universally "left-handed." The origin of this biological homochirality, as it is called, has been clouded in mystery, but a group of astronomers may have stumbled on the answer. They found that the light passing through large parts of the cosmos is sometimes circularly polarized in one direction. Such radiation can preferentially destroy one version of the amino acid molecules that form in space along with other complex organic compounds. A similar occurrence five billion years ago may have seeded the solar system and the early earth with a lopsided mix of amino acids, which would have favored one handedness over the other when life evolved from these organic molecules.

5. Get Some Pass Rush
The Falcons had a pathetic pass rush last year. Atlanta finished with just 32 sacks, tying them for 29th overall in the league. Osi Umenyiora was the only player with more than five sacks in 2013, and he isn't getting any younger.
Atlanta could try to upgrade the pass rush in free agency, but that can get really expensive. They would be better off targeting someone with the 6th overall pick in the draft, someone like Anthony Barr or Khalil Mack. Or, they could try to trade up for Jadeveon Clowney, that would be nice.

It is official Buffalo Sabres fans – Dominik Hasek has been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a part of the Class of 2014.
Not to take away from Hasek's accomplishments, but his induction will be overshadowed by fellow inductee Pat Burns.
A push to get Burns into the Hall of Fame before he died fell short, but he will forever be immortalized among the best of the hockey world. A distinguishing feature that the coach would have had – induction or not.
Dominik Hasek was likely the easiest choice for Hall of Fame induction. Hasek won the Vezina Trophy as the leagues best goaltender six times. He won the Hart Trophy twice, and has his name etched onto the Stanley Cup twice. Hasek also has a slew of international awards, to include the Gold medal from the Nagano games.
Pat Burns makes it into the Hall posthumously – a year after a similar honor bestowed up Fred Shero.
Joining Burns and Hasek in the Hall will be first time ballot Peter Forsberg and Mike Modano. Modano's name makes it on the Stanley Cup in the same year that Dominik Hasek was denied his first chance at the Stanley Cup, the now infamous 1999 "No Goal".
Second year ballot Rob Blake from the Los Angeles Kings rounds out the players and builders going into the Hall of Fame in November.
Joining the players and coach is long time referee Bill McCreary. McCreay called almost 2,000 regular season NHL games, almost 300 playoff games, an All-Star Game, and participated in three Olympics as an official.
These men can call themselves inductees until November 17, 2014 – when they take their official place in the Hall of Fame alongside other great hockey names. No longer is their legend in the eyes of the fans, but eternal.
Congratulations to this year's Hockey Hall of Fame, Class of 2014.

Flipboard's insights into the future of digital publishng
Flipboard: game-changer or passing fad?
12 March 2011, 12.30pm
4 / 5
A great interviewer makes so much difference to a panel, as proven by Kara Swisher of AllThingsD interviewing Flipboard founder Mike McCue. He's at the intersection of publishing and social media, integrating both and making online content beautiful again. "It's the real-time principles of the web married to the timeless principles of print… the rhythm of storytelling, layout, typography has not made its way to the web yet," said McCue.
• Some publishers don't what to be on the journey with you, points out Swisher. "We wanted to build something inherently friendly to publishers.," he said, explaining that the pitch is to help publishers make their content shine on the web. "Banners compete for attention, for real estate - it makes the entire web experience feel clunky. The content and the advertising doesn't have room to breathe."
• "To be a viable publisher in this new world you have to think about how your content is going to map to social real-time experience," said McCue. He used National Geographic as an example, and said they should have a Twitter list of explorers trekking right now in the North Pole and taking photos with their camera phones, teamed with the beautifully produced and rendered articles from print. That encourages a deeper bond between the journalists, photojournalists and reader.
• Flipboard has raised $10.5m from Kleiner and Index, but are they benefitting from a frothy market? "Facebook and Twitter… there's real business value happening there It's not like in the later 90s where it was all hype and no revenue." These are legitimate business with lofty valuations. "There are few companies in the world that you could legitimately say are changing the world, but Facebook and Twitter are. That has implications in government, in changing social relationships - we are living in a culminating time where the stuff we talked about in the 90s is finally coming true."
• There was a great moment when McCue demonstrated how Instagram is being used by Flipboard users to send supportive messages to people in Japan; Instagram doesn't support text so users are drawing or writing messages and then sending screen shots to Instagram.
• "I love working with Apple… " Ripples of amusement in the room. "I'm a big believer in what Apple is doing with the tablet and we weren't going to launch until they did that. I have no inside information but wouldn't be surprised if Apple did their own newstand similar to iBooks… My biorhythms are attached to where we are in the app store charts…" Kara Swisher responds: "The classiest, fascist company in America."
• McCue is on the board of Twitter, so what does he think of the company's decision yesterday to restrict APIs that let external developers build Twitter clients. APIs help grow the overall ecosystem and help a company flourish in a way that it couldn't do itself, but they have to understand how the ecosystem is evolving. "There will continue to be other clients that are better at other elements, but Twitter wants to make sure the APIs are not being used as a way of creating replica or competitor services, or those that take tweets but don't have a RT button."
• Buying something is an emotional decision, said McCue. "I'm a believer in the mystery of advertising in Vogue magazine where you can't turn the dress around 360 degrees - the second you make it so I can see every angle and zoom in to the fabric - it takes the interest out of buying." Flipboard, McCue admitted, has zero revenues but the ads will come; 92% of ad spend is still offline, so there's pleny of room to beautify ads too. As for funding, Swisher offered some reassurance: "There's not enough rat holes to stuff all the money from Silicon Valley down at the moment."

Of 73 outpatients with predominantly psychotic diagnoses the results of Librium therapy were excellent in 39 and good in 11. The drug relieved symptoms of anxiety, phobias, obsessive thinking and compulsive behavior, exogenous depressions, and conversion reactions. Librium was less effective in manic-depression, psychotic depressions and paranoid-type schizophrenia. Slight and transient side effects, mainly drowsiness and ataxia, occurred in a few cases. Patients with a long history of illness and hospitalization, who had not responded to previous medication with one or several of the phenothiazines, showed marked improvement under Librium therapy.

With the kids back in school, many of our pets are finding themselves home alone and nervous about it. Busy holidays, visiting the vet, or new babies can rattle their nerves, along with scary noises like thunder and fireworks. Puppies are often homesick and wary of their new surroundings.
To help calm your pet Adaptil Spray by DAP can be applied directly to your pet's bedding, inside crates, indoor kennels, and in your car. Adaptil is a synthetic copy of the natural comforting pheromone released by a mother dog to reassure her puppies.
Be sure to apply Adaptil Spray away from your dog, particularly inside the carrier or crate. Never spray directly spray on your pet or near his/her face.
You know your pet has had an accident on the carpet or wood floor, but you just cannot find the exact spot to clean. This Black Light UV Flashlight Urine Detector illuminates the dry dog, cat and even human urine spots that you can't see with the naked eye for quick clean up.
You might be surprised to find where your senior pets, puppies, kittens, male dogs have relieved themselves in your home. It's compact, so take it with you on your vacations, too! At Black Light UV Flashlight Urine Detector.
School is right around the corner. And that means packed lunches. This cute Reusable Ice Pack Puppy Dog will add fun to lunchtime while keeping foods fresh and cool without the mess of ice. Just toss it back into the freezer to use again. Great for grown-up dog lovers, too!
Our dogs love their tennis balls, whether rolling them down the stairs indoors or playing fetch outside. But some of us are not so crazy about the slobber that ends up all over the ball when we pick it up.
For the squeamish amongst us, this Jokko Tennis Ball Cover transforms the classic, lightweight tennis ball into a cleaner, slobber-resistant ball that will far outlast your every day tennis ball or its counterpart, the heavy and too bouncy rubber ball.
The brightly-colored Jokko Tennis Ball Covers are easier to see and are easy to wipe off. In Green, Orange and Purple.
There is a common saying that the best exercise is the one you'll do. Here at Super Cool Pets we feel that way about cleaning -- the best cleaning aids are the ones we will actually use. We love clean, but cleaning...not so much. However, living with pets does mean lots of clean-up.
We often notice slobber on our glass doors and our car windows. Not sure why when doggies look outside they have to drool all over the glass, but that's just the way it is. But given that we would rather blog or play or anything but clean, we go for the easiest and quickest cleaning solution: wipes.
Just grab one or two of these Windex Glass And Surface Wipes, wipe the glass down and those nose prints are gone. Sparkling clean! Also effective on many hard surfaces.
Ants. Estimates are that ants number at least 1.5 million for every human being on Planet Earth. Somehow we are not surprised. It would be one thing if they kept to themselves, but often we see them crawling all over bird feeders and pet dishes outdoors where they don't belong.
This red Ant Guard for Bird Feeders helps keep those pesky ants away from your hanging bird feeders. It easily mounts in-line with hanging bird feeders. Especially good with hummingbird feeders filled with ant-attracting sweet nectar.
Many of us enjoy letting our companion birds sit on our shoulder and chat. This encourages a close relationship, but also usually involves bird droppings on our clothes. This denim blue Protective Shoulder Cape is a simple, comfortable way for bird owners to protect our clothing.
It's made of durable poly/cotton with a heavy duty Velcro fastener in front to secure it. Store your pet birds favorite treats in the convenient treat pocket and clip a toy or two to the two D-rings.
At Protective Shoulder Cape.
Fireworks are part of the July 4th celebration, and neighborhoods across the US are booming well into the night(s). As fun as this can be for people, the unexpected and erratic loud noises can terrify our pets.
Some "experts" discourage loving care and attention, suggesting the pet owner somehow reinforces this "behavior". Fear is an emotion, not a behavior, and your pets need your support during this difficult time just as a fellow human would.
If your pet is terrified, like ours are here at Supercool Pets HQ, dole out the hugs and try Melatonin available as an over-the-counter product.
According to Melatonin Supplements for Dogs are a safe and drug-free supplement for pets to relieve anxiety from loud noises such as fireworks and thunder:
Effectiveness of Melatonin for Dogs:
Melatonin helps regulate the sleeping pattern (circadian rhythm) of dogs. However it doesn't induce drowsiness.
It's used medically for the re-growth of hair in dogs with pattern baldness.
It acts as a sedative and calms your pet, and is used to treat stress issues such as accident trauma and anxiety.
It's also used to alleviate the fear of loud booming noises such as thunder or fireworks and in the treatment of conditions such as epilepsy. In the case of epileptic dogs, melatonin should be administered at night as it effectively reduces the risk of epileptic seizures at night.
Puppies have very sharp hearing and generally panic when they hear loud sounds. They tremble and hide under chairs or beds. It's advisable to use melatonin rather than tranquillizers or sedatives to combat this condition.
It has been known to help dogs overcome their fear of loud noises permanently.
Some dogs suffer from Canine Cognitive Dysfunction which is very similar to Alzheimer's disease in humans. Administration of melatonin helps them sleep better and become less restless.
General Dosage Guidelines:
1 mg for dogs weighing less than 10 lbs
1.5 mg for dogs weighing between 10 to 25 lbs
3 mg for dogs weighing between 26 to 100 lbs
3 to 6 mg for dogs weighing over 100 lbs
General Dosage Guidelines:
As with all medications, please check with your vet before staring any treatment as your pet may have a pre-existing condition. At Melatonin.
We love our sweet pet birds, but the mess they make is a downer. A Mesh Seed Guard will cut back on cleanup time and keep seeds, hulls and debris inside the bird cage to create a cleaner, healthier environment for all. In various sizes to fit your cage at Mesh Seed Guard.
Our dogs love their walks, but sometimes in the rain, not so much. Protect your pet outside in rainy weather.
This Push Pushi Rainbow Collection Dog Raincoat has an umbrella-like, detachable hood is designed to protect your dog's head from the rain without covering the ears or slipping over the eyes. The hood removes easily via the snap-buttons or folds back.

Nervous or stressed out pets? Some pets are just high-strung, and there are so many scary things out there -- vet visits, fireworks, thunder.
Check with your vet about Virbac Anxitane Chewable Tablets for dogs and cats to promote relaxation in pets exhibiting nervousness, anxiety or responding to environmentally-induced stress.
Product description indicates there are no known side effects and that it does not cause drowsiness. There are no known interactions with other therapeutics. Anxitane S for cats and small dogs and Anxitane M-L for medium to large dogs.

Sometimes whether due to illness or age, our pets need a little help from their friends. These affordable Solvit PupSTEP Plus Pet Stairs are an attractive way to help them reach their favorite places -- couches, beds or even into our vehicles. The modern styling of these stairs blends well in any décor.
These Pet Stairs are easily manageable for all weighing only 5 lbs., and they support over 120 lbs. Safety side rails are built into the design so your pet can climb up and down with confidence. There is no assembly required, and they fold down for easy storage.
This time of year our pets are shedding their winter coats as the temperature rises. But too much pet hair all over our clothes and furniture is really a year-round problem for a lot of us. Lugging out the vac or ripping off page after page of adhesive can get old really fast.
The Be Forever Furless Brush picks up pet hair and household lint in seconds with just a few quick sweeps. Use it on your home furniture, bedding, car upholstery, clothing, rugs and carpets. It can even dust muddy paw prints off of your furniture. The Be Forever Furless Brush cleans easily with a quick rinse in the sink.

You guys know my RP Tumblr, askicebow?
I'm kind of thinking about not doing that anymore.
I dunno. It's not as fun when everything depends on asks, and the same one person asks me things.
No one really cares much about Icebow, anyway. Norgebow is the main thing.
I dunno.
What do you guys think?

Snowmobile group makes classic run up Mt. Washington
The group takes a break before reaching the tree line on the Mt. Washington Auto Road. (Courtesy photo)
There's still snow on Mt. Washington - even on the iconic Mt. Washington Auto Road.
Snowmobilers took advantage of the snow this past Sunday when they took sleds from the 1960s into the sky.
The machines were much quieter, and slower, than today's models, but they still had enough power in them, after being restored, to make the climb.
It wasn't the first time this method of travel was used to summit the Northeast's highest peak. That honor goes to a group who made the ride in 1963. Included in that group half a century ago was Edgar Hetteen, founder of Polaris. The next generation of Hetteens, Mike and Alex, came all the way from Minnesota to drive up Mt. Washington on a vintage Polaris.
Their participation wasn't the only nod to history.
Maine resident Steve Campbell of Millinocket ascended the Auto Road on a snowmobile that had been owned by the late Paul Doherty, the legendary woodsman who was an officer with the state Fish and Game.
This year's sleds also included several rear-engine Polaris Sno Travelers, which were first developed by Hetteen, his brother Allan and other partners in Roseau, Minn., with manufacturing for the general public starting up in the mid-1950s. The vehicles were first used to get to hunting locations.
Campbell and Mike Hetteen have another historic connection. In February of 1961, their fathers were among a group who rode Maine's Allagash, and in 2011 the younger men organized a 50th commemorative expedition along the same paths, trails and frozen lakes, driving vintage machines.
It was the 11th year the group made the run up the Auto Road. Most years they don't make it to the top, due to weather conditions.
"Being the 50th anniversary, we were happy to be on the mountain at all, even if Mother Nature said no to the summit," said Roger Emerson, coordinator for the New England Antique Snowmobile Club.

Goal Setting – Interview with Dr. Tony Alessandra on How to Achieve Goals
Dr. Tony Alessandra has a street-wise, college-smart perspective on business, having been raised in the housing projects of NYC to eventually realizing success as a graduate professor of marketing, entrepreneur, business author, and hall-of-fame keynote speaker. He is a prolific author and thought leader. Visit him at www.alessandra.com
Josh Hinds: What is goal setting and why is it important?
Dr. Tony Alessandra: Striving for and attaining goals makes for a meaningful life. Without goals, we are susceptible to feeling emotionally, socially, spiritually, physically, and professionally unbalanced. Goal-setting creates drive and positively affects your personality and character.
Josh Hinds: What is the best advice you could give to someone on setting goals and achieving them?
Dr. Tony Alessandra: Write It Down – Seeing Is Believing – Turn a nebulous thought into a bona fide goal by writing the goal on paper. Written goals are more official and strengthen our commitment. The visual reminder continually reconfirms their importance.
Push Beyond Comfort – A goal must be a challenge and motivate you to work harder. Set your goals beyond your reach so that you'll stretch beyond your comfort zone. The more you stretch, the more limber your goal achieving abilities will become.
Be Precise – Be specific with goals to avoid the lack of commitment that comes from being vague. Rather than having a broad goal of losing weight, be more specific: "I will increase my cardiovascular workouts by 10 to 15 percent." This statement defines the increase that you are striving for as well as the range of the desired increase. In addition, it is a flexible goal, which tend to be more realistic.
Josh Hinds: Do you have any specific techniques of systems people could put into place that would help them achieve the goals they set?
Dr. Tony Alessandra: Define your goal. Your first task is to determine whether your goal meets all the requirements of the rules listed above. If it does, then write it as clearly as possible at the top of the worksheet.
Examine obstacles that stand in your way. This is a time to guard against negative assumptions and other self-defeating thoughts. Remember the definition of realistic. An obstacle blocks you only if you let it. You should also write down your innovative ways of overcoming obstacles.
W.I.I.F.M.—What's in it for me? Why do you want to achieve the goal? What kind of payoff is motivating you?
Plan your action. You need to carefully list the steps you will take which will bring you closer to your goal. The smaller the increments the easier they will be to accomplish. There is a German proverb that says, " He who begins too much accomplishes little." As the American Dental Association is fond of saying, "Don't bite off more than you can chew."
Project a target date for your goal. State your deadline range, such as, "between March 15 and April 1st." Think carefully about the amount of time you need. Too little time will increase the pressure and frustrate you. Too much time may reduce your drive.
Know how you'll measure your success. Goals should be described in terms of the final outcome of an activity rather than as the activity. This is part of being specific. Instead of saying "I will be running more in four to six months," you could say "I'll be running three miles instead of two miles in four to six months." How will you measure this? Probably by having one-third more blisters on your feet.
Josh Hinds: Dr. Alessandra, thank you for taking the time to share your ideas on goal-setting. Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers along these same lines that would helpful?
Dr. Tony Alessandra: The dividends reaped by investing in yourself through effective goal setting are substantial. When you clarify your values and set goals in all the major areas of your life–mental, physical, family, social, spiritual, professional, and financial– the right roads appear in front of you like mirages in the desert, yet they are real. Choices become infinitely easier to make because you are aiming at something specific, and you've taken a giant step toward hitting your goals…with amazing accuracy.
- I hope you found the ideas above helpful. What were some key takeaways you got from the ideas Dr. Alessandra shared? How will you go about putting them into action in your own life?
Yours in goal-setting success, Josh Hinds

Title: Highly broad-specific and sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for screening sulfonamides: Assay optimization and application to milk samples Authors

Submitted to: Journal of Food Analytical Methods
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: March 11, 2014
Publication Date: N/A
Interpretive Summary: A broad-specific and sensitive immunoassay for the detection of sulfonamides (antibiotics used in food animal production) was developed by optimizing the conditions of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). An ELISA is an easy-to-use test and is similar to commonly used over-the-ounter pregnancy tests. Some of the different conditions tested and optimized were how the ELISA was run (format), different types of reagents required in the ELISA (immunoreagents), and the type of antibody used. Antibodies are substances that are produced by the immune system in response to foreign substances which enter the body. Once the antibodies to a foreign substance are isolated, they can be used in a method to detect the presence of that foreign substance. After optimization, a highly broad-specific and sensitive ELISA for sulfonamides based on a single antibody was obtained showing 50% specific binding (IC50) for 22 sulfonamides at concentrations below 100 ng/mL. The optimized ELISA was used to quantify five sulfonamides in spiked milk samples. The analysis results demonstrated the potential of the ELISA to simultaneously monitor multiple sulfonamides in diluted milk samples without further purification steps. This is important because antibiotics in food may cause additional antibiotic resistance in intestinal bacteria and diminish the effectiveness of important human antibiotics.
Technical Abstract: A broad-specific and sensitive immunoassay for the detection of sulfonamides was developed by optimizing the conditions of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in regard to different monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), assay format, immunoreagents, and several physicochemical factors (pH, salt, detergent, solvent). Two previously produced broad-specific MAbs, 4D11 and 4C7, and eight structurally different haptens conjugated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were used as coating antigens in a competitive indirect immunoassay (ciELISA). In addition, six hapten-HRP conjugates and the two MAbs were used in a competitive direct immunoassay. After optimization, a highly broad-specific and sensitive ciELISA for sulfonamides based on MAb 4D11 and the heterologous coating antigen (BS-BSA) was obtained, showing 50% specific binding (IC50) of 22 sulfonamides at concentrations below 100 ng mL–1. The optimized ciELISA was used to quantify the five sulfonamides, SMZ, SDM, SQX, SMM, and SMX, in spiked milk samples. The recoveries and coefficients of variation achieved demonstrated the potential of the ciELISA to simultaneously monitor multiple sulfonamides in diluted milk samples without further purification steps.

US economy hamstrung by Washington's brinksmanship
Monday - 3/4/2013, 12:10am EST
Associated Press
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) -- Three budget crises ago, in early 2011, Republicans and President Barack Obama faced off over raising the debt ceiling -- and Alison Brown saw the writing on the wall.
Washington had entered the cycle of partisan brinksmanship over the budget that has sown confusion among federal agencies and delayed contracts to small companies like Brown's Navsys Corp., which designs satellite navigation systems in this military town. So Brown slashed her 40-strong workforce in half. And as she feared back then, her revenues have since plunged by half.
The latest crisis hit on Friday with across-the-board automatic spending cuts. They total about $85 billion, but the economic damage created by two years of showdowns is far greater. And there's no end in sight: Temporary resolutions funding the government expire on March 27. May brings another debt ceiling standoff.
"We're planning for the worst," Brown said in her office with a view of the Rampart Range, a portrait of President George W. Bush on the shelf behind her. "We're not going to be taking risks and making investments, and that's bad for the country as a whole."
Thousands of businesses are in similar straits, from defense contractors like Navsys to wind turbine manufacturers to wheat farmers. It is one reason the U.S. economic recovery has been so persistently anemic. But it is happening quietly, drowned out by dueling press conferences inside the Beltway and general disgust at the perpetual drama over federal spending.
In a paper this year, three economists estimated that 2.3 million private sector jobs have been lost since 2008 because of uncertainty over government policy. That uncertainty has spiked dramatically since the start of the budget showdowns in 2011.
While debates always have generated some uncertainty, "now every single decision is subject to this excruciating process," said Scott R. Baker, one of the paper's authors and an economics professor at Stanford University.
"We seem to be stuck in this series where we're staggering from politically-made crisis to politically-made crisis, and even if we solve it we do so in a way that lowers confidence in our ability to deal with the next one," Baker said.
With deficits setting records in recent years, Obama insists on a mix of tax increases and spending cuts. Republicans insist on cuts-only. Voters ensured two more years of uncertainty by re-electing Obama and a Republican-controlled House in November.
The impact is felt in Colorado, an economic microcosm for the country with 7.6 percent unemployment, only 0.2 percent below the national average. Its economy includes a robust aerospace industry and several military bases, and it contributes more in federal taxes than it takes in.
On the eastern plains, Colorado farmers should be enjoying skyrocketing prices for wheat, soybeans and other staples. Instead, they're fretting over the fate of the farm bill that has been held up in the budget debates. Farmers don't know if they'll still be protected from crop failures or other natural disasters. A last-minute, temporary extension Congress issued in January is little comfort to those who must decide what to plant based on the seasons, not the congressional calendar.
"You can tell that people are keeping their money close to them, waiting for resolution," said Kent Peppler, a grain farmer in the town of Mead who has put off buying machinery. "The farm bill is like the rule book. It's pretty hard to play the game if you don't know what the rules are."
Denver's suburbs were partly insulated from the economic downturn by a strong renewable energy industry. But wind energy tapered off when a federal tax credit, due to expire at year's end, became a hostage of the presidential election. Republican Mitt Romney called it a wasteful subsidy. Obama and some Republicans called it crucial to a growing industry.
The credit was extended in January, a few days after it expired, for one year. But that was too late for Vestas, a Denmark-based wind turbine manufacturer that employed 1,700 people in Colorado at the start of 2012. On Feb. 21, it announced it was cutting 10 percent of its remaining 1,100 manufacturing workers because of the late extension.
"It does take a while to get the industry re-started," said Peter Kelley of the American Wind Energy Alliance, which has tracked thousands of layoffs caused by credit uncertainty. The industry fears more turmoil because the new credit expires in December, he said.
"We continue to tell everyone on Capitol Hill you need long-term policies to get long-term growth in the wind industry," Kelley said.

i'm sure i read somewhere a long time ago, that Mike Tyson, had an oatmeal diet, where he just ate a lot of it basically.. but i cant find it anywhere.. maybe i dreamt it lol.. but anyways, whilst i was looking, i found some things, and have some questions..
www . youtube . com/watch?v=P8OzGTHlSRs&feature=player_embedded#!
in the video above, at 2:28-2:37, what exercise is he doing? and will that build neck muscles, or is it just for movement? [cus his head movement in the ring was crazy]
also, i seen this "training program" that he apparently did, on a few sites..
* 5 AM: 3 mile jog
* 6 AM: Shower and back to bed
* 10AM: Wake up and eat breakfast (oatmeal)
* 12 PM: Ring work (10 rounds of sparring)
* 2 PM: Eat (Steak or pasta)
* 4 PM: 60 minutes on exercise bike
* 5 PM: Exercise
o 2000 sit ups with arms behind head (abdominals)
o 600 bench dips (triceps)
o 500 press/push-ups (chest)
o 500 barbell shrugs (trapezius)
* 7 PM: Eat (Steak or chicken) < with pasta on other sites
* 8 PM: 30 minutes on exercise bike
* 9 PM Watch television and bed time
now, im not sure how exact that is [probably not close].. but by eating 3 meals a day [what it says had, even though its missing fats], and doing that type of training.. could you get as big as Tyson? and i know thats kind of a silly question lol and i doubt it.. but whats the possibility you could build muscle from it and bulk up?

Picture shows some DVDs in their normal upright position. Storage unit shelves are not wide enough to store DVDs in their normal upright position. Waste of money and effort. Not happy with product since that's why I bought it.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
Just fine for light items, not cans
By Maine Guy
from Scarborough, ME
About Me Renter
Caution: if you plan to use a double rack on a hollow door!! When you open the package to read the directions you find out that using the screws is "highly recommended." Nay, required for safety and to prevent collapse. Too many cans caused the top supports to creep inward, bending the top support. Because we are renters, we couldn't use the screws in the door. A single slightly larger rack would be better, especially if the design would keep the top brackets from moving inward.
If you like things that go bang".

Leah Remini is the new QUEEN of the ex-Scientologists -- according to two famous defectors ... because she had the iron gonads to stand up to the Church.
As you know ... Leah filed a missing person's report with the LAPD ... claiming Shelly Miscavige, the wife of Scientology leader David Miscavige ... hadn't been seen for 6 years. Detectives found Shelly and determined she's fine.
Marc and Claire Headley -- two outspoken, former high-ranking Scientologists are praising Leah for her testicular fortitude. Claire tells us, "Shelly was seen for the first time in 7 years. At least we know she's alive."
Claire is skeptical that Shelly is exercising free will, and believes the outreach by Leah will show Shelly that people care about her "on the outside."
Marc believes Shelly was "trotted out" to LAPD officers by Scientology handlers, but a source connected to the Church tells TMZ that's ridiculous. The LAPD also tells TMZ ... they have concluded Shelly is not being held against her will.
I am still not convince! The investigating detective is not the only one that has to be convince this woman is not dead and not kept against her own free will. The World is watching and like it or not LAPD there are many that are concern about this woman well being associated with this God forsaken Scientologists church.
I commend Leah for caring enough to speak out on not only Shelly Miscavige but the people in general behalf in wanting answers to unanswered questions.
We the people would like to see Shelly personally ourselves, have DNA tested to make sure it's actually her and not some dummy decoy lookalike to throw us all. Where's the proof detectives? Plus who in their right mind trust LAPD these days?
Princess Leia fighting the dark side! She is à Ture hero!
The should make a movie about this.
Scientology was finished from the start. It is a novelty, a gimmick...and so inevitably those in power there became desperate, relatively quickly, to find 'other methods' of 'controlling the flock'...a method other than "giving them faith in something that has no basis in science, but rather in theology; faith".
A religion based on science, that believes our 'gods' to be an alien intelligence far more advanced...even if this turns out to be true...it would be part of our natural universe, part of scientific discovery....nothing to do with faith or spirituality or belief in a far deeper meaning to our existence.
They have shifted to cult status not by choice, but by necessity. Only the weakest minded of humanity will be swayed by these methods now. Drones, lemmings...those seeking comfort in rigid structure and authoritative hierarchy. The apathetic, the lazy, sadly...the less intelligent and vulnerable as well.
There is nowhere to go but down for an organization that displays this level of disregard for commonly accepted morality, this level of contempt for those who have naively been its' lifeblood.
Hey, Cruise...Tommy...wake up that money encrusted noodle of yours and save your image before it's too late. Put your full support behind Leah Remini and begin the journey to repairing the damage done by your own naivete...that your unbelievable gifts in life... where going to be parlayed into you and buddy David Miscarriage being the next Messiah to the people. Get over it.
Your a great movie star Tom Cruise. Born to do it. You're no Jesus though, ok? Accept it....end your 'religious venture' and get back to basics...before you smear your movie star legacy with narcissistic lunacy.
Big Poppa
And we're supposed to take the word of the LAPD ? BULL****. PROVE IT !!!!!!
Elizabeth Smart, even when before the cops, claimed otherwise....Stockholm Syndrome.
Leah is a hero in my eyes. I doubt Shelley is there willingly. I've been watching some youtube videos on the COS, with ex members, including the Headley's - OMG! What a sick, monstrous "church" - nothing but a cult.
I love this woman. Strong, opinionate and lovely. If she feels something is wrong with this woman she has every right to reach out to the authorities. I hope this woman is alive. It seems strange to me as well. I'm sure Leah knows better than most being that she been apart of that cult since she was 7 yrs old. Thank God she got out before something could have happened to her. Katie got out for go reason.
Scientology is nothing but some nightmare L Ron Hubbard cooked up while he was tripping on acid.
I bet anything Shelly has a mental illness. Scientologists believe that ANY mental illness can be cured without medicine or psychiatrists just using Scientology alone. If the wife of the head of the church has mental illness it would be hugely embarrassing to the church. So what do you do? Keep her hidden away from everyone. While Leah won't be able to do much to stop Scientology (they are too big and powerful), I do applaud her for trying.
If Shelly is okay show us. Where is she and why doesn't she want to show her face? This is very fishy and LAPD is lying. Leah is a hero and should not give up until she sees Shelly herself.
What kind of CHURCH holds their leader's spouse hostage while he carries on an adulterous relationship on the side?
What kind of CHURCH will not allow parents and children to reunite once their is a break from the church? Is this humane?
What kind of CHURCH stops at nothing to smear their members once they leave the church?
What kind of church sends minions out to demand money from their flock to pay for old books that are hardly worth $3000.00 a set.
What kind of leader of a CHURCH places people in the HOLE for years because he doesn't like them anymore?
I live in Clearwater Florida home of FLAG. These church staffers I see walking around are nothing but people down on their luck being taken advantage of by the Church of Scientology.
This is no CHURCH that you go to on Sunday morning. It is more of a horrible exercise in people control to further the financial aims of only one person--David Miscavige. The man who has held his wife prisoner for the past 7 years.
Germany outlawed this cult and so should the U.S. All the top level members are speaking out about the kidnappings and slave labor can't all be lying.
I still have not seen Shelly....seriously, folks....where is this woman?
Leah is a hero! And if Shelley is fine--why is she in hiding for 7 years? And why are people in this cult not allowed to ask about her? Bring her out--let her speak, let people ask her questions. Not going to happen. Not being held against her will my ass.

No rating
GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Highland Catholic School is outstanding from the top on down. Principal Jane Schmidt runs the school with a rare combination of compassion and efficiency, and the support staff follow her lead. The teachers are uniformly well-versed in their fields AND take the kids' social needs to heart. Many times I have seen and heard the teachers going the extra mile in helping a student in need; and in making sure the less needy students reach their optimal academic levels. Communication with the parents is frequent and well-informed, both with paper and emails. My daughter has been attending for the last seven years, and I've been more impressed each year.
My child is a kindergartner at Highland Catholic School. She loves to go to school each and every day. I am consistently impressed by the quality of instruction that she gets. The warmth and interest shown to her by both the adults and older children in the building is something I have not seen at any other school. It is truly a community and one that we are very proud to be a part of.
The biggest weakness with Highland Catholic is the consistency & follow through, which starts at the top with the principle. Many teachers are quite good, but some are not. Biggest problem with teachers - not letting you know when there maybe an issue with your student's work; always directed to the online grade posting and homework assignment site, which is frustrating, especially when not all of the teachers keep it up to date. They talk a lot about bullying & have a program in place, but don't deal with the bully well in terms of discipline. Beginning in the the junior high years the grading scale completely changes. An A- is 94% and so on. For a school that sells flexibility for students with learning difficulties when you're looking to choose a school, this is a total turn about. Causes a high level of uncalled for stress & frustration for students & families. Parents have addressed this with school officials to no avail. Thus, many families leave HiC in these years. Bottom line, until these issues are corrected this will not be one of the top schools in the area. If you're looking for a school with a religious component in this area of town - shop around & choose carefully!
Excellent teachers, a strong and caring principal, and great programs. Hi-C has all of those qualities and more.
Highland Catholic is a jewel of a school. We are very happy with it. The staff is caring and the atmosphere is good--like one large family. I noticed our public schools keep cutting the specialty classes, but Hi-C offers it all: art, music, Spanish, Performing Arts, sport teams, Destination Imagination, programs for Gifted, programs for struggling, etc. The principal is very responsive to the parents, and I have seen that she addresses any problems quickly and professionally. She even won a "Catholic Principal of the Year" award a couple of years ago--and deserved it. For recess, they do need to walk across the street to the local park, but they have a teacher stationed at the street. My daughter's 4th grade teacher (last year) was the best ever. Looking forward to next year, too.
My kids look forward to going to school each morning, this speaks volumes to me. Each of my boys has very different learning styles and Hi-C has manages both beautifully, so they're excelling academically. Although no school is perfect, there is no utopia, we love Hi-C.

A friend of mine needs a little bit of help
((I'm posting this here, because I have more followers on this blog than I do any of my others.
One of my best friends since middle school is taking a trip in a week or so to come visit Seattle with her mother. Unfortunately she has to take a number of days off from work to do so, and her job pays her by the hour. Meaning, she's going to be taking a bit of a blow to her paycheck which also puts her in a bit of danger of not being able to pay her rent and utilities.
Luckily, she's a pretty great artist and she's taking commissions to try and make up the difference.
If anyone would be willing to help at all, that would be great. Just spreading the word around would be pretty super, too. I'm really excited to be able to see her again, but I'd hate for her to end up in financial trouble because of it. ))

The Red Eye's quarter-century endurance mark last year was impressive indeed, no less so because of the company's ongoing dedication to delivering offbeat plays that audiences might well not see elsewhere in town, and doing so with an admirable measure of adventure and risk. Jenny Schwartz's God's Ear, the latest Red Eye offering, is ostensibly about a married couple reeling from their son's death, but its themes of disconnection and alienation are given greatest emphasis in Schwartz's dialogue rather than in action: a blend of cliché, banter, puns, and out-of-nowhere monologues that drives a depiction of the spaces between us. Every theater has its dawn, prime, and sunset, and it's impossible to predict where a company with a history as long as the Red Eye's might be on its timeline. One thing: It's worth your while not to take them for granted.

Hesston College requires each student to be enrolled in/ have access to a health / hospitalization plan, either through his or her family's or employer's plan, "exchange" provided plan, or through a student health plan. A basic student plan is available through Student Assurance Services (SAS), a national student plan provider. Enrollment forms are available in the Business Office.

Hesston College will not be held responsible for student health expenses.
The following items must be completed by the student in order to be allowed to attend classes:
- Proof of Health Insurance. There must be proof of coverage (enrollment in or access to a parent health/hospitalization plan, employer plan or "exchange provided" plan) or student may enroll in the offered student health plan. Hesston College international students who are not covered under an international, parent or employer plan must enroll in the SAS plan.
- Proof of Immunization. Hesston College requires that all students must provide proof of the following immunizations by the time that they are placed in the dorms and begin classes:
- an updated Tetanus (Td) within the past ten years
- two doses of measles/mumps/rubella (or MMR) vaccine after first birthday
- a negative TB skin test since September 1, 2010.
These immunizations are sanctioned by the Kansas State Health Department and are required by Hesston College.

Category: Community Venues
Region: Midtown/Wynwood/Design District
It's that time of year again. Get ready for five full days of inebriated, gyrating, scantily clad women living it up and looking to score. No, Miami isn't hosting a taping of Girls Gone Wild. Aqua Girl is back in town. The iconic extravaganza for women who love women has returned, ready to raise even more money for breast cancer research. You didn't think Aqua Girl was all about partying, did you? Just because a girl likes to get her drink on doesn't mean she can't also pay it forward. The largest charity women's week in the nation provides enough events to keep any Sapphic sister happy, including VIP cocktail receptions, a live music event, food events, and, of course, the requisite pool and beach parties. Aqua Girl kicks off with an interesting addition this year, one that's sure to bring out hipsters and riot grrls galore: the first Aqua Rock, being held Wednesday at Churchill's Pub (5501 NE Second Ave., Miami). You'd be remiss if you skipped Traffic Jam, the kick-off dance event the next night, May 16, taking place at Dream Nightclub (1532 Washington Ave., Miami Beach), where girls announce their availability by wearing red, yellow, or green glow necklaces. Pool and beach parties are de rigueur at LGBT events for a reason — they kick freaking ass — so be sure to get your ass to the Aqualicious Pool Party May 17 and the Beach House Pool Party and Tea Dance May 18, both taking place at the National Hotel (1677 Collins Ave., Miami). By the time Afterglow, Aqua Girl's official closing party, comes around May 19, you can pick and choose from one of the many women you've met during the week to take as your date to Score (727 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach).

Corset top and skirt from My Cup of Tea, necklace gift from my mom from Alaska, and flats from Topshop.
(Hype this look on Lookbook here.)
Head-to-toe black and white outfit= timeless color combination ever. But if you're a newbie, you're probably not aware that I do inject colors in a black and white outfit to make it more playful and "me."
I got these studded flats as a gift for myself after weeks of banning myself to shop. Hahaha. I forgot the reason behind it but I thiiiink it "banning" myself to shop to save money isn't at all effective. These babies are just too expensive for my life, that everything I got to "save" are put to waste. Hahaha :)
I'm sorry for the lack of updates. This is becoming habitual. I'm not quitting blogging anytime soon, though. I'm just too pre-occupied with school work and OJT! :( I'm also giving up another BIG opportunity :( It's a feature for a magazine and I hate the fact that of all the days of having community service, it would have to be on December 1! Huhu :( Praying for a miracle that it would be postponed though, haha :(

Rubenstein Library Renovation Update: Sept. 9-20
Over the last few weeks, construction crews working on the Rubenstein Library renovation have done a lot of work behind the scenes. Hazardous material remediation is almost complete. Several interior walls have been demolished to accommodate the new layout of the building. And the library's roof has been taken off, so that workers can begin removing seven floors of former library stacks, working their way from the top floor to the bottom.
In order to make all members of the Duke community aware of the major activities and potential noise issues associated with the Rubenstein Library renovation, we will be posting regular announcements of upcoming renovation work on this blog. Here's a summary of the major work that will be done over the next two weeks. If you have questions, please contact Aaron Welborn, Director of Communications, at 919-660-5816, or email@example.com.
Rubenstein Library Renovation Work (September 9-20, 2013)
Activities that will occur the next two weeks are as follows:
1. Crews will continue to remove loose parts along with interior wall demolition.
2. The construction material hoist in the rear of the building will be utilized to remove demolition debris.
3. Structural demolition of roof areas will continue on the 1928 and 1948 portions of the building.
4. Removal will begin of existing Duke stone elevator machine rooms and interior partitions.
5. The tower crane will be used to remove roof and floor slabs along with other demolition debris.
6. Scaffolding will be erected over the Biddle Rare Book Rooms and exterior wall demolition will begin on Floors 2 and 3.
7. Temporary walls around the existing stack core will be erected.
Free earplugs are available at the Perkins Library Service Desk on the first floor for library users who are bothered by the renovation noise. We thank you for supporting our progress and apologize for any inconvenience.
