Toxic Chemicals Being Removed from Baby Products. Yes, You Read That Correctly
1, 4-Dioxane. Quaternium-15. Formaldehyde. Maybe you've heard of these chemicals, and maybe you haven't. Either way, would you knowingly rub them all over your baby? You likely have been without knowing it. Johnson & Johnson, the world's largest consumer healthcare company, announced that it is removing the first two chemicals listed above, one of which […] [Read More]

your avatar doesnt let me think
Not sure exactly with all this signing going on, but one important point to remember is that the likes of Jason Taylor, Zach and others have not had their contracts renegotiated to make room, and they have to my knowledge expressed a willingness to do it if it 'helps the team', so even if we are a few million from the cap, we can do some re-gigging and will have more room to spend.
were in decent shape
i read that also. i think saban is saving that as a last resort.
huh? oh yeah... nice avatar, so any way, the dolphins have 2 boobs left, and if we trade for more boobs then ... we....... can... boobs.

text: Accounting overview faculty program organizations after graduation Accounting, as the primary financial information system in all organizations, is often described as the language of business. Accounting professionals are expected to be proficient in accounting, to possess a well-rounded business background, and to have excellent oral and written communication skills. Demand for accounting grads reaches all-time high The Department of Accounting seeks to prepare graduates with the skills necessary to meet these expectations. Accounting education at Le Moyne College provides graduates with a strong foundation in the liberal arts, a body of knowledge in general business and an extensive preparation in accounting. Students completing the program find opportunities in public accounting, the private sector, the financial sector, nonprofit organizations and the government. The 150-hour accounting program is registered with the New York State Education Department and meets the educational requirements for admission to the certified public accounting (C.P.A.) examination and, in general, to corresponding examinations in other states. The Department of Accounting offers two degree programs: 1. A four-year undergraduate program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in business with a major in accounting. This program also has been structured to qualify students for graduate study or to provide them with the comprehensive outlook that will prepare them for entry into the business world. 2. A 150-hour program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in professional accountancy and Master of Business Administration, with both degrees being conferred at the end of the fifth year. In the event that a student begins the 150-hour program and does not complete it, that student can receive the Bachelor of Science degree in business with a major in accounting by completing the requirements of the four-year undergraduate program. Candidates must have completed the requirements of the 150-hour program for admission to the C.P.A. examination.

Part 2: Tips 11 through 20
In Part 2
of the Top 20 Tubing & Hose Buying Tips, further considerations for
tubing selection are examined. Topics such as flammability, corrosion
resistance and indoor/outdoor use are reviewed.
It's all in an
effort to help you choose the right tubing or hose for your application
the first time and avoid the hassle, frustration, downtime and costs
associated with purchasing errors and product returns.
As we move through 2015, the subject of the future of the supply chain has come back into focus. There are three main trends and technologies that will continue to have an enormous impact on the supply chain: Dynamic networking and connectivity, mobility in manufacturing and modern collaboration.
View this whitepaper to learn how manufacturers are tackling these three critical areas, and how you can prepare your organization for the future of the manufacturing supply chain.
High consumer expectations regarding food safety as well as new legal
requirements mean that food and beverage processing and packaging
companies have a growing need for vision systems that check whether
information on a package or label has been applied correctly according
to defined consumer information.
Companies are increasingly using
vision systems as a critical component of their traceability and
recordkeeping protocols. This whitepaper outlines new industry
regulations, the impact of traceability and recordkeeping on the supply
chain and the use of vision systems to minimize product liability.
This article looks at OSHA regulations and relevant consensus standards to help you determine what needs to be guarded, to what degree, and what type of devices can be used.

Emergency Stop (E-Stop) buttons are arguably the most

and misused. This article explores the requirements for E-Stops.
Variable speed control for all types of industrial equipment is now
readily available on the market with competitive pricing to non-variable
speed controlled alternatives, including in the air compressor
industry. With the advent of prescriptive rebate programs for variable
speed compressors and other equipment, the demand for these types of
controls has increased.
This paper will provide guidance on the design of variable speed
compressors, how they can operate most efficiently with existing
compressors, explain the tools necessary to consider when applying
variable speed compressors to multiple compressor stations (or any
compressors within a system), and provide examples of systems which
required improvement as well as systems which were well optimized.
Equipment downtime is lost time…and lost money.
When equipment fails, when breakdowns happen, they create major — and multiplying — aggravations for construction and industrial MRO crews. They're the kinds of aggravations that can impact your business well beyond the job at hand.
Business owners looking to build or upgrade facilities today are deluged with details, decisions, permits, and many other concerns. To be successful they are rethinking their operations and overall building design – from warehouses, to manufacturing, to distribution centers – looking for a competitive edge that will increase efficiency, improve safety, and yet be cost effective. For these businesses, one solution that is becoming increasingly more attractive is to better utilize the existing square footage within their buildings by installing a work platform/mezzanine to take advantage of unused overhead space.
The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) is an international, standardized set of criteria for labeling chemical containers, drums and barrels. The goal of GHS is to consistently communicate hazard information and safety precautions to ensure proper handling and use of dangerous chemicals.

Recipe by Myrtis Gunnels
"You can't eat just one of these delicious bar cookies packed with chocolate, coconut, and walnuts."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
2/3 cup
2 cups
packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups
semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup
chopped walnuts
1/2 cup
shredded coconut
This is a good recipe, but it is missing a few things. First of all, 1/2 cup of coconut is definitely not enough. I made these for a party, and I asked for everybody's opinion, and they all asked me why I called them Chewy Coconut Bars, as they could not taste the coconut. So, next time, I added 2 1/4 cups of shredded coconut, decreased the packed brown sugar by 1/4 cup, used 2 cups of milk chocolate chips (semisweet works fine too, but not as sweet. I substituted milk chocolate because I did not have semisweet on hand), used 1 cup of toasted chopped pecans, and substituted margarine for the shortening (I didn't have any shortening). That time, everyone raved about the bars.
Thanks for the recipe though!
I was so disappointed with these! They turned out moist alright, mostly because they didn't cook all the way through. The outer edges were edible, although quite crunchy, but the middle was a gooey mess. I did double the coconut, like other reviews suggested. I could have cooked these even longer, but I would have had to sacrifice the edges for the middle and it just wasn't pretty.

Very good - like a chewy, chocolate chip cookie bar or blondie, BUT a little bland since the shortening has no salt or flavor. You will need to double the salt and vanilla. If using salted butter, keep salt as is, only increase vanilla. If you have it, use real butter. I also increased the coconut to 1 full cup. You can also use butterscotch or peanut butter chip for variety. Super easy and very chewy and moist. Will definitely make again (using only butter though!).
This is an easy, tasty recipe that gives a unique twist to the typical cookie bar. Although I didn't find the bars particularly chewy, they had a hearty, brownie-like consistency that was still appealing. (My husband absolutely adored them and raved that they were even better than chocolate chip cookies!)
However, I did make a few modifications to the recipe. First, I used butter-flavored shortening instead of regular shortening to kick up the flavor a bit. (I think it might be a little bland without the butter flavor.) Also, I included a full cup of coconut and a full cup of nuts (pecans) to add more texture and up the taste a bit. When I make it again, I will probably increase the salt to a full teaspoon and increase the vanilla to two teaspoons for an extra punch of flavor.
Overall, it's not a low-cal recipe, but it's definitely a yummy excuse to be a bit naughty!
I made these for a church get-together and they were a big hit! I used butter instead of shortening, increased the coconut to 1 cup, left out the nuts and used 1/2 almond extract and 1/2 vanilla. They were amazing. My husband is VERY picky about his cookies, and he loved these.
I made 2 batches of these, the first one I made as is but used a full cup of coconut and no nuts and the second batch I cut the chocolate chips to 1 cup and used 1 cup of coconut and no nuts. The batch with just 1 cup of chips was much better and stil very rich and sweet. I don't think that 1/2 cup of coconut is enough even 1 cup almost isnt enough. It's hard to taste any coconut over the chocolate taste.
I took these bars to a youth gathering at our church and they disappeared very fast! I was afraid they were going to turn out like chocolate chip pan-cookies, but they were sooooooo much better!
I halved the recipe and used an 8 x 8 pan. The batter was very thick and the bars were dense and gooey. Very good. Too good. I made these a second time using the full recipe amount. I didn't have chocolate chips so I doubled the coconut and drizzled chocolate syrup on top.

- Surgery
- How does the immune system work?
- How do biologic therapies work?
- What are biologic therapies used for?
- What are the major types of biologic therapies?
- What are the side effects?
How Does the Immune System Work?
Lymphocytes—This type of white blood cells are concentrated in areas of the body that commonly encounter hostile invaders (eg, gastrointestinal system, respiratory system, lyphatic system). Types of lymphocytes include:
- B cells—lead to the production of antibodies
- Cytotoxic T cells—directly attack infected or cancer cells
- Helper T cells—regulate the immune system's response by signaling other immune system cells
- Natural killer (NK) cells—produce powerful chemical substances that bind to and kill invaders
- Macrophages—a type of white blood
Cytokines—chemicals produced by both lymphocytes and monocytes; examples include:
- Interferons
- Interleukins
- Colony-stimulating factors
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
How Do Biologic Therapies Work?
- Eliminate, regulate, or suppress conditions that allow uncontrolled cell growth
- Enhance the immune system to fight the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells
- Make cancer cells more vulnerable to destruction by the immune system
- Change the growth patterns of cancer cells so that they are more like normal cells, and are less likely to metastasize (spread)
- Block or reverse the process that changes a normal or precancerous cell into a cancerous cell
- Enhance the body's ability to repair normal cells that get damaged by other forms of treatment for cancer (eg, chemotherapy , radiation therapy )
- Prevent a cancer cell from spreading to other parts of the body
What Are Biologic Therapies Used for?
What Are the Major Types of Biologic Therapies?
- Interferons (IFN)
- Interleukins (IL)
- Colony-stimulating factors (CSF)
- Monoclonal antibodies (MOAB)
- Interferon alpha 2a (Roferon A)—used to treat hairy cell leukemia , Kaposi's sarcoma , chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and other conditions
- Interferon beta-1a ( Avonex , Rebif ) and interferon beta-1b (eg, Betaseron )—used to treat multiple sclerosis
- Interferon gamma-1b ( Actimmune )—used to treat chronic granulomatous disease and other conditions
- G-CSF (Neupogen) and GM-CSF (Leukine, Prokine)—increase the number of white blood cells, which reduces the risk of infection; also used to stimulate the production of stem cells in preparation for stem cell or bone marrow transplants
- Erythropoietin (Epogen, Procrit)—increase the number of red blood cells and reduce the need for red blood cell transfusion
- Oprelvekin (Neumega)—increase the number of platelets and reduce the need for platelet transfusions
- React with certain types of cancer, which may enhance the immune response
- Be programmed to act against specific cell growth factors to interfere with the growth of cancer cells
- Be linked to anticancer drugs, radioactive substances, other biologic therapies, or other toxins
- Possibly help destroy cancer cells in bone marrow (during the process of bone marrow transplant)
- Rituximab (Rituxan)—used to treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Trastuzumab (Herceptin)—used to treat breast cancer when the tumor expresses excess amounts of a protein called HER-2
- Cetuximab (Erbitux)—used to treat cancers of the colon and rectum , as well as head and neck cancer
- Panitumumab (Vectibix)—used to treat colorectal cancer
- Bevacizumab (Avastin)—used to treat a certain type of brain tumor , kidney cancer , colon cancer, rectum cancer, lung cancer , and breast cancer
- Alemtuzumab (Campath)—used to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia
- Ipilimumab (Yervoy)—used to treat melanoma
What Are the Side Effects?
- Lack of energy
- Lack of concentration
- Decreased blood counts
- Protein in your urine
- Low blood pressure
Less common side effects:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Altered taste
- Depression
- Mood swings
- Decreased sex drive
- Memory problems
- Flu-like symptoms (eg, chills, fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain)
- Gastrointestinal effects (eg, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite)
- Skin—redness, rash, dry skin, itchiness
- Heart and lungs—low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, arrhythmia , edema (fluid retention), weight gain
- Nervous system—confusion, disorientation, drowsiness, lethargy, anxiety , depression, irritability
- Decreased blood counts—anemia, thrombocytopenia, eosinophilia , lymphopenia

A woman was taken to a hospital Saturday to be treated for minor burns to her hands and face, state investigators report, after one or more people at a party she was attending at a Wicomico Shores home poured and ignited gasoline in a basement laundry room.
As many as 100 people were at the party on Army Navy Drive shortly after midnight that morning when the fire started, according to the state fire marshal's office, and Mechanicsville volunteer firefighters report that they initially were told that numerous people were trapped inside.
Police earlier had been to the house, Mechanicsville Fire Chief John Raley wrote in an online report, and they joined firefighters in the Saturday morning response to the report of the fire, which was extinguished with a garden hose before they arrived. Four additional fire companies also were dispatched to the call.
Damage to the residence was estimated at $25,000, according to a notice of investigation by deputy fire marshal John Nelson. No arrests have been reported in the case.
Sixteen people were living at the two-story house, owned through a trust managed by Sherlene McClary, according to Deputy Chief Fire Marshal Duane Svites.
The 23-year-old woman suffering burns from the fire was a guest at the party, Svites said, adding that her name would not be released until after investigators talk with her about the fire.

A quick glance through the Centreville girls� lacrosse team�s stat sheet reveals the Wildcats are enjoying an offensive onslaught this season.
And its courtesy of Reagan Newell.
The forward has 30 goals to in seven games, and when paired with Carly Sane, the duo has made 50 tallies on the year. Centreville has started the season 6-1.
It�s nothing new for a lacrosse player to dominate offensively, but when you scroll over to the �year� section of the roster, the picture becomes clearer.
Newell, a freshman, already ranks among the leading goal scorers in a region filled with talent.
Although she is a �freshman,� her class doesn�t apply to her skill. She�s the product of numerous elite club lacrosse teams in Northern Virginia and Maryland and, according to her father and Centreville coach Brian Newell, she�s been playing since she was 4.
�I�ve been playing at a higher level than most of the girls on this team,� she said. �So [playing in high school] isn�t too hard for me.�
Newell made her first statement in the team�s opening game against Yorktown. Centreville won, 19-6, with Newell providing six goals. In the following game against T.C. Williams, Newell�s five goals helped Centreville to a 17-3 win.
Despite Newell�s talents, the Wildcats are far from a one-woman show. Although she leads the team in scoring, her offensive ability has opened up other players on the field.
Sane, a junior, has been a beneficiary of Newell�s play; she has scored 20 goals. The two just began playing together in the spring, but their instant chemistry suggests they�ve been playing with each other for years.
�Reagan knows how to help everyone on the field,� Sane said. �We try to work together for goals when we can. Even though we just started playing together, it feels like we�ve been playing together for a long time.�
Rounding out Centreville�s top scorers are Hayley Anderson (14), Maggie Dulkerian (13) and Caroline Wakefield (12). The depth of scoring is a testament to Centreville�s strength as a team.
�We�re strong everywhere,� Sane said. �Our midfield is strong, our attack is strong, and our defense and goaltending are strong. We�re just a complete team.�
In addition to Newell, Centreville also features a slew of young talent. Centreville has seven sophomores on varsity, coupled with the team�s two other freshmen, Brynn Doyle and Caroline Wakefield.
�You can�t judge kids based on how old they are,� Sane said. �This sport is still growing, so sometimes the younger kids have been playing for longer than the older kids.�
Centreville�s start to the season also is a return to form for the Wildcats. Years ago, Centreville was one of the best lacrosse schools in the Northern Region, but the team has struggled in recent seasons.
With a surplus of talent on the roster this year, Brian Newell said the team is seeking a return to the top of the region.
�The kids are more dedicated and have higher expectations for themselves,� he said. �There�s a much bigger commitment to lacrosse than there used to be at this school. We have 18 girls who have been playing club lacrosse. That helps a lot.�

Roy Selby was many things to Poolesville — a businessman, a civic leader, a former town commissioner, a volunteer firefighter — but most of all, he was the man who fed the town for generations.
On Saturday, he succumbed to cancer at Frederick Memorial Hospital, leaving friends and family — and the town — grieving.
His store, Selby's Market, an anchor in the community, closed in early 2012.
On the town's unofficial Facebook page, news of his death attracted dozens of comments.
"Roy Selby was not just a 'part' of our community, he was the nucleus of our community," one commenter wrote. Others remembered him for welcoming them to town, or how he offered his store as a place for fundraisers for local groups.
John Repass of Beallsville met Selby when he went to work at the store when both men were in their teens.
They graduated in the same 26-person class — the largest to graduate at that time — at Poolesville High School. The two married girls from the slightly larger class of 1957, which had 27 or 28 students, he said.
Selby's father and uncle started the store in 1946. Selby later took it over.
Over the years, it grew from a two-story house to a larger store on Fisher Avenue. The last location was the plaza near Poolesville High. The family moved the store there, anticipating development of new homes.
But that development began only recently, and in the interim, Selby closed his market, which had been part of the fabric of the town for generations.
"The houses they're building now were supposed to have been built around 2000. I think if they had been built then, he wouldn't have had to lose the store," Repass said.
"The town will never be same," he said. "They'll definitely remember Selby's, that's for sure."
Residents are planning a "celebration vigil" for Selby at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 18 at Whalen Commons, according to Commissioner Valaree Dickerson.
On Thursday, there will be a viewing from 1 to 8 p.m. at the Memorial United Methodist Church on Elgin Road in Poolesville. Selby's funeral is scheduled for 11 a.m.Friday at the church.
According to an obituary posted on the website of Hilton Funeral Home in Barnesville, Selby is survived by his wife, Betty Jean; son Roy "Lin" L. Selby III and wife, Leslie; son Michael R. Selby and wife, Corrine; son Bruce E. Selby and wife, Amy; daughter Lisa W. Selby; seven grandchildren; nephews; and a niece.
"What made Roy special was how could be a friend to all," said Rande Davis, a longtime friend and fellow Lions Club member.
"He did so much for the town of Poolesville," said Bob Cissel, another longtime friend.
He remembered Selby and his family venturing out in snowstorms to bring back milk for his customers. If he didn't have it in his store, the Selbys would give you what was in their pantry.
For about 65 years, the store was the place to find eggnog on Christmas, catch up with friends over shopping or host a fundraiser. It was a place for teenagers to find their first job.
"He always had a positive attitude about everything, even his health, towards the end," said Tim Bell, a longtime friend and golf partner.
"Nothing ever seemed to get under his skin," he said.
Selby lived in the Poolesville area his whole life. Born in Germantown in 1938, he graduated from Poolesville High School in 1956. He married Betty Jean three years later.
Selby spent his life serving in local institutions. He joined the Upper Montgomery County Volunteer Fire Department when he was 18, and served for 12 years as a town commissioner. In 2009, he and Betty Jean were the grand marshals of Poolesville Day.
He did whatever he could for those around him, according to Dickerson.
"Every employee that worked for him, if they lost a relative, a friend — he sent a platter for free," she said.
She still remembers when Selby caught her shoplifting from the store when she was 8. She tried to sneak a plastic egg filled with Silly Putty in her shoe. Selby and another employee took her upstairs, wondering if they should call the police, she remembers.
"I was freaking out," Dickerson said.
After letting her stew for a little while, Selby eventually told her, "We're going to let you go home."
"To this day, I can't tell you how much we talk about that story. ... It taught me the respect you have for a small place like that," she said.
Above all, Selby is best known for his dedication to the town and his customers.
Selby kept his market open long after it stopped turning a profit.
"Any other person, I believe, would have walked away 10 years ago with money in his pocket," Dickerson said. "He gave every single thing he had to this town."

Finding and Keeping Your Volunteers
As a club you are probably looking for ways to attract and retain people to give their time to help your club. Here are a few ideas to help you on your way.
The role of welcoming, helping and looking after new volunteers is a very important part of any club.
If you are new to the role and are just getting used to what overseeing volunteers in a club means, we recommend you take our free Workforce Co-ordinator course via the IOS Online.
Finding new volunteers
When recruiting remember to clearly outline the opportunities at your club and provide clear role definitions - the Good Club Guides can help for the major positions. This shows volunteers the role they will play and helps them visualise themselves carrying it out.
'Join In' is a nationwide initiative encouraging more people to celebrate their local sports clubs - click here to find out more about hosting a 'Join In' event.You also need to identify opportunities for recruiting volunteers. If you need someone to update a website consider placing a poster in a local college, for example. Or you could think outside the box, as Tom Baster, Essex County workforce development co-ordinator, has done in working with his local 6th form college to recruit students. The video at the top of this page is an example of Rossington Swiming Club and how they have managed to involve their older swimmers as volunteers.
Remember to use effective recruitment methods. Advertise in an event programme or the local press. You can also use press releases to attract volunteers. And remember to post vacancies on the www.do-it.org website through your local bureau. Alternatively you can go into your nearest Volunteer Centre which will be able to offer opportunities to people interested in aquatics within your community.
You could also host a Join In event to encourage people from your community to lend a hand at your local club - click here for more information and ideas on our Join In page.
Making people feel welcome
The impact of a poor induction should not be underestimated. Most volunteers leave an organisation in the first six months and it is the first 60 days that they make the key decision to leave. Induction programmes need to comprehensive and reflect volunteers' value.
So, ensure you provide them with key information, set standards to show what is expected, offer support, and empower volunteers to take responsibility. Also arrange for someone to act as a mentor or buddy until they feel confident in their role.
At Beckenham Swimming Club they have found shadowing to be an effective form of retention. The club's Jackie Bedford explains: "We had problems with people leaving the club and not being able to fill their spot. We have since filled the positions and adopted a strategy of having new recruits shadow us and help in the running of the club. This has proved very successful," she says.
We all want to feel valued
Finally, one of the most effective tools you have to retain volunteers is one of the simplest, saying 'thank you'. Most say they do not expect it, but they will always appreciate it. Whether face-to-face, in a phone call or in a card after an event, a thank you means a lot.
The ASA has written their own volunteer policy to help volunteers understand what they can expect when they volunteer for the ASA and are aware what they are committing themselves to. Is this something your club volunteers would like to see?
Ensuring volunteers feel their opinion counts is just as important. Here are a few questions you can ask them to ensure they feel their views are being taken into account.
- Are you enjoying yourself in the role?
- What are the good points/ not so good points?
- Is the role what you expected it to be? If not, why not?
- Would you like to take on anything else?
- Is there any training you would like to get involved in?
- What else, if anything, would help you in your role?
For more advice on the recruitment and retention of volunteers and other aspects of being a workforce co-ordinator, download the Good Club Guide for the role mentioned above by clicking here.
Also there is free guidance from the former Disability Rights Commission offering advice on attracting and retaining disabled volunteers. 'Recruiting, Retaining and Developing Disabled Volunteers' is available on the Volunteering England website

History of Prime Time Television
41" x 20"
"History of Prime Time Television" is a chronological map of the 550 most important, popular, and trendsetting television shows from the nascent roots of the industry to the present day. Shows are organized by genre represented by streams that grow and shrink over time. The starting point is the early 1940s when the first television shows were produced in the drama genre. The number and sizes of streams quickly grow as show creators expand their creativity by moving into such genres as news, reality, and musicals. It's fascinating to see the importance of each genre rise and fall overtime. Shows selected for inclusion have won critical acclaim according to recognized television critics or have wide audience appeal based on Nielsen ratings and awards won. The number of years each show has been aired is mapped allowing you to quickly see how long each show lasted. This graphic was created by Larry Gormley and the design was based on Reebee Garofalo's classic Genealogy of Pop/Rock Music.

How was your week? We spent a lot of ours keeping up with the best and worst animal news. Here's a generous helping of the stories that stood out.
We couldn't believe these six bizarre animal smuggling busts, but boy, are we glad they were intercepted. (National Geographic)
We learned about an overweight cat who's so committed to losing weight that she's willing to go swimming. We don't recommend trying this at home. (PeoplePets)
We got to meet Menswear Dog, the most dapper pup of them all. (Tumblr)
We cheered ourselves up with this pinwheel made of Scottie puppies and this helpful cat who can slam-dunk laundry. (Babble)
If those animals don't cheer you up, remember: No matter how hard your week was, there's always this baby tapir to remind you that it's a beautiful world out there. (BuzzFeed)
See you next week!

SOUTH MILWAUKEE - The South Milwaukee Police Department has joined the Wisconsin Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.
"We are pleased to have you as a member of the Wisconsin ICAC Task Force and pledge our full support to you as we work together to make Wisconsin safer for our children," said Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen.
As part of this affiliation, the South Milwaukee Police Department is eligible for:
"One of our goals at the South Milwaukee Police Department is to protect the children of our community," said Chief Ann Wellens. "We feel that being a member of the Wisconsin Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force is another tool that we can use to protect our community so the children of South Milwaukee can grow up safely and have a happy childhood. Our goal is to prevent any children in our community from becoming victims," said Chief Wellens.
If you have information about a person in South Milwaukee that is falling victim to a child predator or would like more information about this program, please contact Lt. Peter Jaske at (414) 768-8060 at the South Milwaukee Police Department.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Wisconsin Department of Justice Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. "In the past decade, Wisconsin's ICAC Task Force and Affiliate Agencies have arrested 540 suspects, executed 647 search warrants, and rescued countless numbers of children throughout the state," said Van Hollen.
According to Van Hollen, there are over 22,304 internet protocol addresses in Wisconsin containing and offering to distribute known images of child pornography. One in seven children are asked online to engage in sexual activities, sexual talk, or provide personal sexual information.
Van Hollen has placed a priority on law enforcement's proactive response to the growing problem of internet crimes against children. To that end, Van Hollen has directed a 67% increase in the number of special agents assigned to the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force within the Division of Criminal Investigation. Van Hollen's 2009-11 budget request for the Department of Justice includes a request for five additional special agents and criminal analysts to protect our children from sex predators who utilize the Internet to prey on children.
In addition to expanding investigative capacity internally, Van Hollen and the Department of Justice have continued to add additional local affiliates to the Wisconsin ICAC Task Force. The number of local law enforcement partners to the Department of Justice's ICAC Task Force has more than doubled to 87 in the past year. You can access a list of affiliates.

Described by Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls as having "the soul of old country [but a] die hard rocker with some punk thrown in the mix," Georgia-based Hannah Thomas isn't afraid to play around with genres. Having released her latest album over a year ago, Thomas has been busy traveling the country, playing shows, and writing new material" but in order to help that last one come to fruition, she'll need your help. Thomas has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund her latest album, and is seeking $10,500. Though the album title is still in the works, she hopes to record the album in late spring/early summer for a fall release. You can pledge here and watch her video below. You can also catch Thomas on tour this March and April across the U.S. (more…)
Despite their name, there's something absolutely grounding about Paper Bird's music. Their sound is easygoing and direct, with a folksy vibe that only a banjo and harmonica can create. And with seven members, one can imagine that touring is no easy task, making it all the more exciting when this Colorado band hits the road. Luckily for those of you on the West Coast, Paper Bird will be in your neck of the woods in no time, with dates in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho this March 18th-23rd with support from The Americans and Head For The Hills. Check out the full list of dates below. (more…)
I always get really excited when I hear about an artist launching a Kickstarter. There's nothing that quite compares to a fan's dedication to their favorite artist, and Matt Bailie is about to prove that all over again. After all, he did take home the country prize for our 2010 Intel Superstars competition, and then emerge as the big winner of our 2011 OurStage Panel"there's no doubt this artist has talent and a surging fan base to back him up.
With a dream to fund his sophomore release, I Wanna Live Like That, along with the music video for "Dress Down," Bailie has launched a 30-day Kickstarter. Having worked with ACM and CMA award winning producer Darran Smith on the album, Bailie is seeking funds to cover the cost of everything from manufacturing to promotion, with the aim of getting the attention of industry giants CMT and GAC. Some of the pledge prizes include the new album, handwritten lyrics, recording session, cover video, and a full band house show. Check out the Kickstarter video below, and pledge right here to be a part of Bailie Nation. (more…)
Not that long ago, Austin, TX musicians Dawn and Hawkes were finalists in our Intel Superstars competition. Garnering comparisons to Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, this real-life couple turned folksy duo recently took to the The Voice to perform their cover of The Beatles' "I've Just Seen a Face." Within seconds of their opening lines Adam Levine (Maroon 5) and Shakira had already expressed interest, with Levine saying that it was his "favorite performance [he's] ever seen on The Voice." In the end, they chose Levine. You can watch it all unfold below. (more…)
Longtime friends of OurStage Delta Rae have been added to the Chesterfield, VA Ragtime Carnival, featuring Carbon Leaf, Keller Williams, Edwin McCain, Eddie From Ohio, and a ton more. The festival will take place at Pocahontas State Park from May 30-31, with gates opening Friday at 4 p.m. and Saturday at 11:30 a.m. You can check out a poster with the full lineup below, and grab tickets beginning tomorrow, Feb. 21 here. You can also catch the band on tour this February through April with dates across the U.S. (more…)
We're suckers for simple, beautiful melodies and songs. That's why when we read that New England native, Annalise Emerick – a favorite from our recent Intel Superstars Competition – had announced a string of late-winter tour dates around Georgia and Tennessee, we couldn't help but feel a sting of pain that we in New England lost such a talent to the Nashville area. Running from February 21st to March 27th, Emerick has scheduled five dates, including the A-Town Get Down Festival. Emerick is also working on her next album, and giving away a free copy to whoever can correctly guess the cover song she's adding. Check out the tour dates, and stream "Time of Day" below. (more…)
The Rocky Mountain Folk Festival in Lyons, CO has revealed their 2014 lineup to include OurStage artist Antje Duvekot alongside such crossover favorites like Josh Ritter, DISPATCH, Lake Street Dive, and many more. The festival will run from August 15-17. You can also catch Duvekot at The Song School four days prior. Check out the initial festival lineup below.
Hard to believe, but SXSW has announced yet another round of new artists, bringing the total to an amazing 2,000-plus acts. But after seeing that the new additions include The 1975, Against Me!, and St. Vincent we have to admit it's worth expanding an already enormous lineup. Also performing will be Kelis, Damon Albarn, Chromeo, Ingrid Michaelson, Kylesa, Speedy Ortiz, SZA, Lucius, Jacques Green, together PANGEA, Women's Hour, Betty Who, and Lost in the Trees. You can view the full lineup here (warning: it's going to take you a while to sift through), and catch SXSW from March 7-16 in Austin, TX.

After one year, thousands of artists, and three genre winners, Ernie Ball has selected a Grand Prize winner in the "Save Your Strings" competition. The winner will receive, in addition to their year's supply of strings and accessories, Music Man guitars for each guitarist in the band and an official endorsement from Ernie Ball. In the running for the top prize were Pop winners Biscuits & Gravy, Rock winners The Jellybricks, and Country winners Gin House. Ultimately, Ernie Ball selected pop rockers The Jellybricks to receive the big prize.
OurStage is proud to host the music of such incredibly talented acts, and especially pleased to have helped not only expose them to new fans, but also to empower them with the tools they need to keep creating great music.
The Jellybricks will no doubt find use for their prizes as they begin to support their forthcoming record, Youngstown Tune-Up. The album's first single, About The Weekend, was just featured by Little Steven Van Zandt as his Coolest Song in the World as well as video of the day on his hugely popular radio show The Underground Garage. Watch it below.
Congratulations to The Jellybricks, as well as Gin House and Biscuits & Gravy.

Taylormade Burner 2.0 Driver
Pros: Distance, Looks, Easy to Use
Cons: Shaft Length, Control in the Beginning
This is great driver, the ball explodes off the tee, and with the white crown it is easy to look at. The shaft length, and the accuracy problems are the only problems with this driver. I played with a slight slice before I got the driver but when I took my first swing with it, it created a slice I have never seen before. But as I kept using it I learned how to swing with it and the slice is not much of a factor anymore. Overall best driver I have used

Preen by Thornton Bregazzi / Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear
Search a show by:
Hang on, what season are we in? One effect of having to do so many collections a year—designing new things, continuously, with scarcely a pause to recharge—can be an encroaching detachment from the real cycle of the seasons. And then again, the weather doesn't do what the weather's supposed to do any more. Upshot: We're all confused. And Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, for one, seemed to forget they were doing a winter collection—or at least, they don't seem to be taking the prospect of wrapping up against the cold seriously. Their collection contained precisely two coats.
Instead, Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi's fall show read as a continuation of their signature designs—the dresses they do with differing fabric in front and back, the blouses, the slim pantsuits—but in a more minor key than the stellar show they pulled off for spring. Bregazzi explained before the show that their prints had evolved after looking at Beatrix Potter's botanical drawings, Victorian pressed-flower albums, and abstract expressionist art—Jasper Johns, Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock. But the couple aren't the types to belabor the meaning of a mood-board. Really, their business is knowing what women in their 30s and 40s want in their wardrobes—day-to-evening versatility, mixes of patterns and fabrics that don't commit a garment too firmly to one context or another. Preen things glide from place to place, as they do season to season, without raising any questions about their appropriateness.
Thornton and Bregazzi have a knack for this, and they've been coming up with some really exciting pre-collections recently. By comparison, their fall runway show lacked the mesmeric, sequenced excitement of the beautiful lemon, pink, and pale blues in their spring collection. There are still lovely items—the bold blue brushstroke-printed silk blouse, a pantsuit color-blocked in deep blue and brown—but there was a sense, in the end, that the designers hadn't used this season to put a great deal of thought into mapping out where they're going next.

HG2 A hedonist's guide to... The UK's best-selling luxury city guide.
London Map
Everywhere we love in London
Explore the city by district:
Chelsea and South
The City and East
Notting Hill and West
Mayfair and North
Central London
First-time visitors to London might expect to find it teeming with red buses, black cabs and bobbies on the beat, variously dotted around the Monopoly board, and where trips to Buckingham Palace and Big Ben should be followed by fish and chips and a nice cup of tea. In fact, these tourist icons live on in London, remaining as rare constants in a city that embraces progress and chases the Next Big Thing (though yes, Old Kent Road really is still on the lowest rung of the property ladder, and Mayfair the highest).
Most Londoners are proud of their Britishness and the city's 2,000-year heritage. The monarchy is ever popular (so long as it holds no power and continues to generate tabloid headlines). Its historical VIPs – Shakespeare, Dickens, Newton, Darwin, etc. – lend the city wisdom and influence, but it is its people on the ground past and present that affords London its individuality – the Dickensian waifs and strays, the eccentric pearly kings and queens, the East End gangsters, those punks, goths, mods and rockers, and a recent multi-ethnic influx of immigrants – Afro-Caribbeans, Indians, Africans, Asians, East Europeans, etc. With an area of 609 square miles, there's room for all it seems – London is the EU's most populous city, and like New York, is less of a melting-pot, more a mosaic of cultures free to retain their own identity. Where Christianity once dominated, London is now a pluralist society with huge communities of Hindus (the largest outside India), Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, and a seemingly endless supply of Hare Krishna converts. London speaks over 300 languages, and out of a total of 12 million inhabitants in Greater London, its non-white population is the largest of any European city. London's size and pace can overwhelm – it can seem unfriendly, insular and competitive, eye-contact is usually a no-no, and crime and grime are still issues. However, all over are village communities, from the quaint Englishness of Primrose Hill to the curry-loving enclaves of Brick Lane.
London is a global city – i.e., along with New York, Tokyo and Paris – so go the textbooks – it has a direct effect on global affairs, culturally, politically and socio-economically. As you'd expect from a country that has the world's fourth largest GDP, money is king in its capital. London consistently hits the top five of Most Expensive City charts. But – at last – the best can be bought – a new class of celebrity chefs is ensuring that London is no longer burning its food, the fruits of its artists and fashion designers are coveted world-over (and London is one of the world's four fashion capitals), its music scene continues to rock the world with ever-evolving sounds from glitch to grime while modern design maintains an iconic skyline; a building boom for the Millennium added yet more attractions. Creativity sits easy within this corporate powerhouse as London thrives on the clash of opposites – the Establishment and the underground, tradition and experiment, the homegrown and the imported.
London has always nurtured independence and idiosyncrasy and its liberal, progressive outlook makes for a modern, dynamic metropolis happy to adopt a new set of icons – namely, the London Eye, Chelski Football Club and chicken tikka masala (though perhaps that was more to do with our own erstwhile cooking talents). And with the 2012 Olympics looming, planet London swings on.

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
US EPA Brownfields Programs Enables the Redevelopment of Two Contaminated Sites in the Portland, ME Bayside Project
Success in EPA Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund Grant Program
Portland, ME
(December 3, 2003)
The vacant rail yard on the Portland Peninsula has sat unused and contaminated for twenty years. With the help of two US EPA Brownfields Assessment Grants totaling $435,000 and a $500,000 grant to the city through the EPA Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund Program, the citizens of this major New England downtown are set to reclaim two key portions of what residences and city officials call the Bayside area. The two sites, with a combined acreage of 0.85, are near Marginal Way in Portland. With the help of EPA Brownfields funding, the city of Portland Department of Planning and Development will use $175,000 of the half million dollar Revolving Loan Fund to transform these two sites into additional parking and create an important extension to Chestnut Street that will later be occupied by businesses, homes, apartments, and more.
One of the oldest ports in the nation, the Casco Bay town of Portland is today one of Maine's largest cities. The historic shipping town has a population of just over 64,000 residents, over 8% of which are minorities, and an average household income of $35,650 in 1999. Despite this average level of income over 1,300 families or almost 10% are below the poverty line in the ocean city. Although unemployment rates are low at just 3.3% in 2000, the city is still in need of new business, additional and improved parking, and affordable housing in its urban locations, including the large 6-acre rail yard parcel in the 14 acre site called Bayside.
The Bayside area, located between the tidal flat of Back Cove and the city's bustling downtown, has an almost one-hundred year history of heavy industrial use. The land was manmade using debris from the infamous Portland fire of 1865, which destroyed nearly all of the historic downtown. Debris from the destroyed buildings was dumped into the ocean waters of Back Cove and the land was eventually filled in by various companies. The rail yard, which takes up a majority of the Bayside brownfield, was constructed in 1910 on the newly formed land by a company today called, Guilford Transportation Co. The rail yard, which includes miles of track, transported cargo until it was taken out of service in the 1980s. The rail yard sat vacant, unused, and contaminated for the last 20 years until it was bought by the state of Maine in 2002 and consequently purchased by the city of Portland one year later. The site is characterized by what Mayor Nicholas Mavodones, Jr. referred to as "disinvestment and urban blight" in his 2000 plan for Bayside brownfield redevelopment.
"This plan envisions the transformation of Bayside," Mayor Mavodones said of the ambitious long-term solution in the 2000 plan for redevelopment. "The redevelopment of Bayside...is not only important for maintaining a sustainable and competitive local economy, but also to provide good jobs, adequate housing and a reasonable tax burden for Portland citizens."
The Bayside redevelopment plan took over two years of community and local government cooperation to create. Community and civic groups, including the Bayside Task Force, the growing Bayside Neighborhood Association, the city council, and the city of Portland Planning Board have worked together to create the all-encompassing plan that will make Bayside an attractive urban gateway and extension of the downtown business district. The plan calls for a rejuvenation of abandoned properties like the rail road parcel. Plans for redevelopment include the addition of housing complexes, shops, businesses, open spaces, community and civic centers, and additional parking for the growing and gorgeous downtown area.
The inspired plan found its foundations through a $200,000 EPA Assessment Grant from the EPA Brownfields Program in 1996. The Assessment Grant enabled Tewhey Associates, an independent environmental contractor, to assess the levels and types of contamination present at the rail yard parcel and other areas of the Bayside brownfields site in April 1998 and make recommendations on cleanup efforts in March of 1999. Armed with this information the city of Portland was able to create realistic and environmentally conscious plans for Bayside brownfield improvement.
With preliminary assessments complete, the EPA Brownfields Program stepped in again in 1999 to aid in Bayside clean up with a half million dollar Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund. The city of Portland then set up the Downtown Portland Corporation (DPC) to manage allocation and eventual repayment of the loan. This large grant gave Portland the funds to launch a major cleanup effort within Bayside, which was divided into targeted parcels for cleanup and redeveloped independently with Loan Fund monies.
The smaller of the two sites, a property owned by 161 Marginal Way, LLC , is a 0.25 acre space that runs from the 161 Marginal Way location to the current end of Chestnut Street. The larger site of 0.6 acres is also owned by 161 Marginal Way, LLC and the Five Liver Company. This site is currently occupied by the Department of Human Services building.
EPA Brownfields Program awarded an additional $135,000 Assessment Grant to Portland in 2001 to assess the contamination and offer cleanup options. This assessment was a follow up to the original site assessment. Tewhey Associates completed the assessment of these two blighted properties in July 2003. Results showed that soil contaminant concentrations exceeded the 1997 Maine DEP Remedial Action Guidelines. The black-stained shallow soil samples included high concentrations of both arsenic and lead and fragments of coal, cinders, and ash.
In August of 2003, the DPC loaned $175,000 of the original half-million dollar grant to the city of Portland to help complete an important phase of Bayside redevelopment- the transformation of two sites in the aforementioned rail road parcel. The funds were borrowed by the city from the DPC and will paid back within five years from either sale of real estate owned by the city in the Bayside area or from city general funds. The rate on the DCP loan is 0%.
Through the $175,000 EPA Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund allocation, the two sites will be cleaned-up to make way for an important extension of Chestnut Street. Both sites are in the process of remediation by the city of Portland and construction will begin on the parking lot in October 2003 and the Chestnut extension in Spring 2004. Potential contractors will go through a rigorous proposal process at that time and the city will decide on a construction company for the momentous extension.
As a result of the extension, the swelling downtown will move even closer to the beautiful bay area. The smaller of the two parcels will be used for the actual roadway extension and later for the placement of housing, businesses, shops, and community centers. The larger of the parcels will be used for additional parking for the Department of Human Services.
The cleanup of these two properties will enable the plan for Bayside redevelopment to break new ground in the fight for both economic and environmental success. The Chestnut Street extension paves the way for a growing and more environmentally conscious downtown Portland.

A Cell Based Secondary Assay To Explore Vero Cell Cytotoxicity of Purified and Synthesized Compounds that Inhibit Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (5)

This functional assay was developed for detection of compounds inhibiting Vero E6 cells viability as a secondary screen to the beta-lactam sensitizing M. tuberculosis bacteriocidal assay.
In this assay, we treated Vero E6 cells with compounds selected as hits in the M. tuberculosis assay for 72 hours over a 10 point 2-fold dilution series. Following 72 hours of treatment, relative viable cell number was determined using Cell Titer Glo from Promega. Each plate contained 64 replicates of vehicle treated cells which served as negative controls.
Cell Culture: Vero E6 cells were subcultured every 7 days in E-MEM with 10% fetal bovine serum and 2 mM glutamine (complete growth medium), incubated at 37 degrees C in 5% carbon dioxide, and maintained for no more than 20 passages.
Compound Dosing/Plating: Carrier control / compounds were diluted in complete growth medium to prepare a 6X concentrated dosing solution which was dispensed into 384-well black clear-bottom tissue culture treated plates (5 uL volume).
Cell Plating: Twenty uL of complete growth medium containing 3000 cells were dispensed per well. Plates were incubated at 37 C, 5% CO2 for 72h prior to endpoint detection.
Endpoint/Detection: At the end of the treatment period, assay plates were removed from the incubator and equilibrated to room temperature for 10 min. Twenty-five uL of Cell Titer Glo reagent was added and plates were incubated for an additional 10 min in the dark. At the end of the incubation, assay plates were analyzed using a PerkinElmer Envision microplate reader in luminescence mode with an integration time of 0.1 s.
Data Analysis: Sixty-four control wells containing cells treated with DMSO vehicle and were included on each assay plate. Compound data was normalized and reported as % viability which was calculated using the following formula: % viability = 100*(Cmpd Lum-Med background)/(Med Cell Ctrl - Med background). The normalized % viability was plotted against the tested concentrations. The CC50 values were calculated using XLfit formula 205, a 4 parameter Levenburg-Marquardt algorithm with maximum and minimum limits set at 100 and 0, respectively and allowing extrapolation to identify weakly active compounds.
Outcome: Compounds that showed <70% cell viability for at least one concentration were defined as "Active". If the % viability at all doses was >70%, the compound was defined as "Inactive" and CC50 values were not determined.
Scoring: SRBCSC uses a three-tier scoring system where scores of 0-40 apply to primary screen data, 41-80 indicates confirmatory screen data, and 81-100 is reserved for confirmatory data on resynthesized compounds. Inactive compounds at any screening level receive a score of 0. In this confirmatory screen, "Active" compounds were scored based on Average CC50 results on a tier of 81-100 with "Inactive" compounds scoring 0.

Hey man, they resent that!! You got to be more sensitive to their lack of knowledge of the medium they choose to work in...and make more money then the artists who know their craft...so, be more sensitive. Its hard to be on the top and not know whats up. It's a dark and scary place for them. The checks are large and come with a lot of responsibility. Who cares if they don't know what that means...
