A few days ago we got word that the Herning Center of the Arts building, designed by Steven Holl, broke ground in Denmark. As with other projects by Holl, this building is a playful combination of light, shape and meaning that manages to work both as a museum and as an architectural showpiece.
Designed just over two years ago, the Herning Centre of the Arts building brings together three cultural institutions: the Herning Art Museum, the MidWest ensemble and the Socle du Monde. The 5,600 square meter building will house permanent and temporary exhibition galleries, a 150-seat auditorium, music rehearsal rooms, a restaurant, a media library and administrative offices.
Inspiration came from the old fabric building which houses the existing art collection. To emphasize the link with its prior history, a textile mesh was used in the formwork of the concrete, giving it a rough, textile-like texture. Natural daylight is brought in through the curved roofs to the gallery spaces which, as per the curator's requirements, had to be designed to be completely movable to accommodate future use.
In keeping with the fabric theme of the museum, the shape of the building was created to resemble a collection of shirtsleeves when viewed from above, while the roof structure is essentially a high-tech stressed skin structure giving the impression of being within a tent.
Furthermore, the building was created on a completely flat site, which provided the opportunity for the building to break up the site, creating the idea of a series of grassy knolls. To do this, the design team incorporated a green roof and reflecting pools on top of the parking structure. Other sustainable features involve gray water recycling and a geothermal HVAC system.
You may think that we have a small obsession with Steven Holl (see here, here, here, here, here and here), but it's hard to not be excited whenever a new Holl design surfaces. His buildings have always brought us architectural experimentation of science, color, shape and light, and this new building should be no exception.

Is there a reason why the pictures (well, except the 2nd last one) are in monochrome?

Not entirely crazy about it. The interior spaces look very cold and uninviting. The form of the exterior structure is beautiful, but from what I can see it results in cavernous interiors that are somewhat out of scale. It would probably work better for sculpture shows or installations, as that would fill the massive amount of empty space.

Love the Piet Mondrian inspired doors/windows. Overall, a nice marriage of form and function:-)

Here's a smart enhancement on the ever-useful baseball cap brim light. This one clamps to the beak of your hat, but unlike others, it's got a flexible boom that lets you aim the light right where you need it. Under the water heater, beneath the dash of your truck, especially in that inky corner of the attic when you need both hands free to fend off bats. The brilliant 12 lumen LED bulb burns up to 36 hours, so you won't end up in the dark any time soon.

Adcock, a bluegrass innovator and an integral member of pioneering band the Country Gentlemen, has been playing the banjo professionally for 56 years. He plays on stages and in recording studios, and last year he even played while doctors operated on his brain.
That history-making surgery was detailed on ABC's Good Morning America: Doctors encouraged Adcock to play during the surgery so that they would know that they were helping to foster his banjo-playing ability rather than harming his ability to do what he does best.
So, why the retirement rumors? Well, Adcock and his music-making wife Martha decided to decline work engagements in the wake of the surgery, since they weren't initially sure about his speed of recovery. In recent years, Eddie's tour schedule had slowed because of various ailments, and many promoters figured that he and Martha had retired from the road.
With Eddie now healthier than he's been in years, the Adcocks' absence from the road has proven financially difficult, and so on Sun., Oct. 25 a bevy of top-notch bluegrass players -- including Jerry Douglas, the Whites, the Harley Allen Band, Missy Raines & the New Hip, Jesse McReynolds, Gene Johnson and others -- will perform at the Eddie & Martha Adcock Benefit Show at the Station Inn, beginning at 7 p.m.
Suggested donation is $20, and the night should provide for much in the way of surprises, goodwill and good music.
For more information, check www.stationinn.com, or just show up Sunday night at 402 12th Ave. S.

The Seven Seas inspired this collection of Oakley Frogskins, and the retro-cool frames with Iridium coated lenses are splashed with colors from sun-drenched shallows and briny depths. Aquatic hues range from the magma oranges and fire yellows of underwater lava flows to sunlit kelp greens, coral oranges, the dark of the deep sea abyss, and blues from shimmering shorelines. The comfortably lightweight O Matter frames carry High Definition Optics and vintage logos that mark them as true classics.
Our pure Plutonite lenses filter out 100% of all UV, and with premium Iridium coating, they balance every wavelength for the water world and beyond. The chosen coatings for this collection are formulated for bright, sunny conditions. Emerald Iridium offers neutral light transmission to help you maintain color perception. +Red Iridium, Fire Iridium and Blue Iridium increase contrast and boost depth perception. (The colors you actually see when looking through these lenses are different from the colors of the lens coatings. Check out our website to learn more.)
Each sunglass comes with a Microclear bag for frame storage and transport. It's formulated for gentle lens cleaning, and it carries the custom art of the Frogskins Aquatique Collection.

The Montreal Protocol, an international environmental agreement, requires the production phase out of a number of substances believed to be responsible for ozone depletion. The Montreal Protocol is carried out in the United States through the Clean Air Act, which is a federal law implemented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to execute and enforce regulations that reduce air pollutant emissions.
The portion of the Clean Air Act that applies to the Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry encourages the development of ozone-friendly substitutes for chemicals that contain ozone destroying chlorine, which are called hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). The chemical refrigerant of choice for more than four decades, referred to as R-22, is in the HCFC category. R-22 is widely used in heat pumps and AC condensing units to heat and cool homes.
R-410A is an ozone-friendly refrigerant designed to replace R-22. R-410A refrigerant does not contribute to ozone depletion.
The Clean Air Act mandates that all HVAC equipment manufacturers cease producing equipment with R-22 refrigerant on January 1, 2010, and chemical manufacturers cease producing R-22 refrigerant on January 22, 2020. Along with prohibiting the production of chemicals deemed harmful to the ozone, such as R-22 refrigerant, the Clean Air Act also mandates that no refrigerant be released into the atmosphere during installation, service or retirement of equipment.
Some HVAC Distributors, Contractors and Homebuilders will continue to sell and install R-22 AC and heat pump products manufactured prior to January 1, 2010, as long as supplies last.
Currently, R-410A products are slightly more expensive than similar R-22 products. One reason is that R-410A refrigerant is more expensive to produce, but that expense is expected to decline as R-410A is produced in higher volumes and R-22 is phased out and is increasingly less available.
There is no need for homeowners to panic if they currently have a heating and cooling system equipped with R-22 refrigerant. Chemical manufacturers can still produce R-22 to service existing systems until Jan 1, 2020. After this date, many in the industry have estimated that there will be adequate R-22 supplies available for servicing equipment for the next 20 years. However, as this supply declines, servicing R-22 systems will become increasingly expensive.
If a homeowner has an existing outdoor unit that is in need of replacement, it is recommended that the indoor unit be replaced (coil, furnace or air handler) at the same time. The reason for this is so that the system will be properly matched based on the manufacturers approved match-up data. A system that is not properly matched will lose efficiency and be more expensive to operate and maintain. This is especially true for homeowners who have outdoor units that are below the current 13-SEER minimum efficiency standard that went into effect Jan 22, 2006. When purchasing a 13-SEER or higher outdoor unit, it should not be matched with an existing indoor unit that is not rated by the manufacturer to achieve a 13-SEER or higher system efficiency rating.
If you purchase an outdoor R-410A unit, you must replace the indoor coil with a properly matched R-410A model. R-22 and R-410A refrigerants cannot be mixed.
While you can continue to legally purchase R-22 systems until supplies run out sometime after 2010, if you need a solution today, it may make more sense in the long run to buy an R-410A system. Your Rheem Contractor can assist you with reviewing and understanding your best option.

Hoefl-Riesch continues the wait for win number 25 but still takes third
The wait for the land mark win number 25 goes on for Maria Hoefl-Riesch but the HEAD World Cup Rebel was still happy with taking third place on her hometown slope in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Hoefl-Riesch kept her hopes of the Downhill Crystal Globe alive with third place despite Tina Maze winning the race and Laurenne Ross taking second. Julia Mancuso continued her good form with sixth place.
At the top of the course, Hoefl-Riesch was well placed but a small error in the line taking off the jump cost her time lower down, she felt. "I skied well from the top to the bottom and this was nevertheless a good race for me," explained Hoefl-Riesch after the race. "I was good in the first technical section, I found some good speed and built on this," Hoefl-Riesch then added that with the competition so strong this year, this was a good result.
For Julia Mancuso this was her best Downhill result of the season apart from the World Championships. "It is getting better and I have been changing some things: I have new skis for this race." With this being her first year with the HEAD World Cup Rebels, Mancuso has spent a lot of the season "figuring out exactly what works for me," she explained. "It is getting better and I am moving in the right direction and getting ready for next year." With so many components that make up a fast ski, when you change one part, this may affect another, explained Mancuso.
With the course characteristics changing slightly from an icy feel in inspection to a grippy feel during the race, this result for Mancuso further strengthened her place in the world's elite.
Two HEAD World Cup Rebels, Anna Fenninger and Mirena Kueng, shared 14th spot. For Kueng, this was her career best result in the World Cup so far.
With one race in the Downhill World Cup remaining, Lindsey Vonn still holds the slimmest of leads over Tina Maze. Maria Hoefl-Riesch remains in third with an outside chance of winning the Downhill title.

Get to know Small Fry Shredder Sophia Capua
With most sports, the common theme that you hear is " Start 'em young". Sophia Capua embodies the very essence of this phrase. At just 6 years old, Sophia is snowboarding well beyond her years. She is one of the hardest working Microns with Flow. She puts out monthly edits that are creative and fun, snowboards any chance that she gets, and is already getting photos in certain publications (most recent in Summit Daily). But if you ask Sophia, snowboarding is anything but work. She is doing it for the simple fact that snowboarding is fun.
Snowboarding Is…
For a young aspiring snowboarder, snowboarding is everything. For Sophia Capua, snowboarding is FUN. The main reason that most of us start to do anything, is for the simple fact that it is fun. Sophia hasn't lost sight of that belief, and from the looks of it, she probably never will. This pint sized shredder loves snowboarding and is constantly pushing her parents for more time on the mountain.
Local Spots & Favorite things about Snowboarding
Sophia hails from Colorado and frequently inhabits the local spots of Copper Mountain & Loveland Ski Resort. The young Micron snowboards at any chance that she gets. For this reason, "Dad's Park" (a.k.a the Capua's backyard) was created. Sophia is not scared one bit, she loves hitting rails and doing jumps that seem to be nearly 3X her size. Anytime that Sophia can have a snowboard under her feet is a good time.
10 Words with Sophia Capua
Family Shred – "They're Awesome!"
Snowboarding – "Surfing on the Snow"
Copper Mountain – "Halfpipe"

Practice Philosophy
As a physician, I feel truly fortunate that a patient would choose my talent and my expertise to change a feature that they are self-conscious about or with which they are embarrassed. I love watching the new level of confidence that a patient reveals once we make the change they desire through surgery. Their inner self shines, and this makes me feel quite privledged that they chose me to help them with their transformation. A reconstructive or hand surgery patient is just as wonderful to watch.
Plastic & Reconstructive, Hand Surgery
The majority of my practice is cosmetic surgery, though I still enjoy hand and cosmetic reconstructive surgery. The thoroughness of training in all areas of plastic surgery makes me quite comfortable in performing the entire spectrum of plastic surgery, regardless of which type of operation.
Many of my patients initially come to our office to consult us about facial procedures. However, breast enhancement surgery, breast reduction surgery, and body contouring procedures are also a main focus of my practice. The body contouring procedures that I perform include ultra sonic liposuction, tummy tuck, and thigh lift procedures.
I also enjoy an area of body sculpting that I consider a "niche" and that I have developed in my practice. Thigh lifts involve tightening loose or sagging skin of the legs for patients that are no longer a candidate for liposuction. This procedure is uncommonly performed by most plastic surgeons, yet one that I enjoy performing often. It involves lifting and tightening the skin of the entire lower body and can be performed with a tummy tuck procedure.
Facial rejuvenation procedures are very gratifying, because this is an area where a plastic surgeon can really make a difference in patients' perception of themselves. Each time a patient looks in the mirror or interfaces with a collegue their face is on display. The patient's self-confidence is affected by my work, making this type of surgery critical in it's achievement of the ultimate result. During the consultation, I explain the realistic expectations that surgery can accomplish for my patients. Because of this, there are between 10 to 20 percent of the facial rejuvenation patients who will opt for simpler solutions than surgery to enhance their facial appearance after our consultation. There are many ways to address facial conditions and our office offers all of these solutions. I personally want each patient to know all of his or her options because my ultimate goal is a happy patient.
I built a state-of-the-art 7,500-square foot facility in Plano that offers two surgical suites that are State licensed. The facility has also passed the very stringent standards of the Federal Medicare Program. What this means to the patient is that our facility is licensed by the Texas Department of Health in a way similar to that of hospitals, with everything from air filtration parameters, to sterilization standards, and the use of registered nurses instead of medical assistants creating the best possible environment for surgical procedures.

I do think Tannehill will be a great QB, with some more experience and weapons surrounding him.
I wish he had the benefit of throwing it only 15 times again like the midget Wilson, and actually having help. We have no RB, no WRs, no TE, crap line, and you wanna blame the qb who is asked to throw it 30-40 times a game because we have no other options?
Lol ppl on here that hate tannehill some don't understand football simple as that
As far as the rookie arguement goes, this is week 14, not week 1, 2, or 3. If Tannehill struggles next year, what excuse are some here going to come up with?
Last edited by phinfan13; 12-09-2012 at 08:30 PM.
If he wasn't running for his life, he was throwing to receivers that couldn't get open to save their lives. It's hard to evaluate Tannehill with this offense.

Punto Y Raya Festival - call for entries - by July 4 '11
Dear friends of Punto y Raya Festival,
We´re delighted to inform you that on February 7th we have launched our third CALL FOR ENTRIES open to dot·line films.
Registration is free and the films must be submitted before July 4th 2011 through our brand new website http://www.puntoyrayafestival.com
If it's your first participation in the festival, you must register as an Author to enter a film. If you've already been selected in a previous edition, we have created an Author profile for you that you just need to update. Soon you'll receive another email with your access details to the Users Zone.
For those who still don't know about Punto y Raya, this festival -that's been called the "most abstract in the world"- explores the creative possibilities of dots and lines in various spheres of science, art and thought. No representation, only dots and lines as ends in themselves! After gaining the recognition of the experimental audiovisual community and the specialized critic with only 4 years of trajectory, Punto y Raya currently constitutes a creative platform based in 50 cities all over the world.
· The first edition took place at La Casa Encendida in Madrid (September 1-2, 2007).
· The second edition, at Arts Santa Mònica in Barcelona (November 25-29, 2009).
In this third edition we return with more dotline screenings, workshops, conferences, installations and live PyRformances. All information will soon be available on our website, so stay tuned .
This project is only possible thanks to the creativity, enthusiasm and collaboration of everybody participating in it. That's why we'd appreciate it if you could help us spread the word and forward this message to whomever you consider appropriate. We also invite you to follow us on Facebook for detailed information about the selection process and other activities we carry out around the world.
Looking forward to seeing what amazing stuff you'll come up with this year.

|VT Foliage, Antiques, Antiques, and Antiques . . .
Two fall traditions in Vermont are foliage "leaf peeping" and antique shows. There are other activities as well this busy weekend so let's get started:
(Quick aside: the weather this weekend will be very nice: mostly sunny and day time temperatures in the upper 50's F. The evenings will be cool with temperatures in the high 30's F. Bring some warm clothes especially if you plan to spend time at upper elevations.)
The next two to three weeks you can see some incredible color on the mountainsides and valleys. I have talked with a large number of people here and read in several VT blogs that this year's foliage display may be one of the best ever. I am very surprised at the large amount of red leaves I'm seeing. All the colors are bright. I'm sure we'll be talking about this year's Vermont foliage for years to come.
A fun way to to see the foliage is to get out of the car and into the fresh air on a ski area chair lift. It's an exhilarating experience that you will remember for a long time. Many ski areas offer this service. Just ask your innkeeper where the nearest ski area is that's offering rides - they are located all over the state.
Vermont's largest ski area, Killington is offering foliage chair rides, a Brewfest on Saturday, and hosting ABC's Good Morning America live broadcast on Sunday.
The 13th Annual Killington Brewfest features displays of microbreweries and craft breweries from Vermont and other New England states. It starts at 1:00 pm and goes to 6:00 pm.
Good Morning America LIVE from Killington Peak will start broadcasting Marysol Castro's weather reports and Vermont feature segments from 6 am to 9 am. You can take a free ride on the K-1 Gondola and get a FREE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST atop Killington Peak. They are encouraging people to attend so they will have an enthusiastic background audience just as they do in New York City. In fact, bring your homemade cardboard signs, jump up and down, and see if you can get on national television. It's a great way to see foliage, get entertained and fed, all for free. The view from Killington Peak includes five states and Canada on a clear day.
There are two antiques shows in northern VT this weekend and a bunch in southern VT.
The New England Antiques Show formerly presented the antiques show at the Champlain Expo fairgrounds but it has moved this year to Burlington Sheraton Exhibit Center. I don't know the politics behind this move (looks like somebody got mad at someone else) but now there are two major antique shows in Burlington on the same weekend.
The Champlain Valley Exposition and Vermont Public Television are presenting the Vermont Antique Expo and Sale October 4 and 5. The weekend will feature sales, seminars and exhibits on a wide array of antiques and related topics. Located at the Champlain Valley Exposition , 105 Pearl Street in Essex Junction, Vermont. They are expecting about 60 dealers.
The New England Antique Show is being held Saturday and Sunday at the Burlington Sheraton, 870 Williston Road, Burlington, VT. It's easy to find: just take Exit 14W (make sure it is West exit, not the East exit) from I-89. The Sheraton is the large building on your right.
The WESTON ANTIQUES SHOW is being held at the Weston Playhouse in the middle of the village. As they point out, there have 220 dealers and four other antique shows within a 20 minute drive the same weekend. This is their 50th year. I like their slogan too: "Go green...collecting and using antiques is the ultimate recycling." Weston is also home to the Vermont Country Store where you can find modern versions of a lot of antique products - the kind of items you did not think were made any more.
The OKEMO ANTIQUES SHOW is being held at the Okemo Mountain Resort in Ludlow VT . The Preview is Friday from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm and the show is Saturday 10am to 5pm.
A few minutes away, the 44th annual LUDLOW ANTIQUES SHOW is being held at the Black River High School with the from Preview Friday, 7 - 9 pm and the show Sat 10am - 5pm.
The 31st annual BROMLEY MOUNTAIN ANTIQUES SHOW will have 30 country dealers at the Bromley Ski Area Base Lodge on Route 11, Peru VT
Preview Sat 8 - 10am, Show Sat 10am - 4pm, Show Sun 10am - 4pm.
The 24th annual ANTIQUES IN VERMONT show will be at the Riley Rink, Route 7A North, Manchester Center VT Sat Preview 8 - 10am and Sat Show 10am - 4pm.
If you are looking for some non-shopping activity, how about apple picking at Shelburne Orchards . There are 80 acres of apple trees, including 10 acres of organic apple trees. It is located a little south of Burlington VT on Orchard Road off Route 7.
There is a large Craftsproducers Festival at Hildene VT October 3, 4, and 5 that will have 200 artists and artisans displaying and selling their products, all made by the artists - no imports in other words. The show is in heated Camelot tents.
Along with the crafts, the festival has fresh food and live entertainment. The VERMONT CHEESE, BEER, AND SAUSAGE TENT will be the center of a food festival within the craft festival. More than a dozen micro brews will be available, plus a variety of Vermont cheeses, sausages, and wine will be available.
The nearby town of Manchester is full of designer outlet stores and it is the home of Orvis, the American Museum of Flyfishing next to the Orvis store, and the famous Battenkill River.
The QUECHEE VILLAGE 18th Annual Fall Foliage Crafts Fair will be October 4 and 5.
Nearby in Woodstock VT is the Billings Farm & Museum, a great place to take the kids. It has events year around. The one this weekend is the annual Pumpkin and Apple Celebration on Saturday and Sunday, October 4 & 5, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. There will be an apple taste test, hands-on apple pressing to make cider, pumpkin and apple ice cream, apple races, pumpkin bowling, apples-on-a-string, pumpkin Legos® (what do you suppose that is?), making apple butter being in the farmhouse kitchen, and more. The pumpkin display includes white, blue, and striped pumpkins with explanations about this "hearty, nourishing, and versatile vegetable, first cultivated 9,000 years ago." Horse-drawn wagon rides are included with admission. Your kids will love it and you will be impressed with the quality of this facility. I highly recommend this event for families.
Billings Farm and Museum, Woodstock VT

I've checked with a couple that have the Ticket and most say they only have a limited number of tvs and the Pats are always on at least a few of them. Any help would be awesome. Go Fins!

The Hh pathway plays a critical role in the patterning of certain embryonic tissues and contributes to their neoplastic transformation later in life. Hh signaling regulates cerebellar patterning by promoting the proliferation of neuronal precursor cells, and constitutive Hh target gene expression can lead to medulloblastoma, the most common pediatric brain tumor(1).
Hh signaling is normally initiated by the binding of Hh ligands to the twelve-pass transmembrane protein Ptch1(2) inducing its exit from the cilium, leading to Smo accumulation and activation within the antenna-like organelle. Activated Smo then shifts the balance between repressor and activator forms of the Gli transcription factors (Gli1, Gli2, and Gli3) by promoting three events: their stabilization from proteolytic processing into N-terminal repressors (Gli2/3R), their conversion into transcriptional activators (Gli2/3A), and their accumulation at the distal tip of the cilium. The process by which Smo regulates Gli function appears to involve the nucleocytoplasmic protein Sufu, which can directly inhibit the Gli proteins and facilitate their proteolysis. The activator form of Gli2, and to a lesser extent that of Gli3, subsequently drives the expression of Hh target genes, including cell cycle regulators, oncogenes, Ptch1, and the constitutively active transcription factor Gli1. Oncogenic Hh pathway activation can be initiated at multiple points within the signaling mechanism described above.
As a GPCR-like signaling protein, Smo is perhaps the most "druggable" target within the Hh pathway, and Smo inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy in murine tumor models(3-9) and human clinical trials(10,11). The excitement generated by these findings is tempered by the emergence of GDC-0449-resistant tumors, which either contain point mutations in Smo that prevent drug binding or sustain Hh target gene expression in a Smo-independent manner(11). Tumors expressing GDC-0449-resistant Smo were also insensitive to cyclopamine, a structurally distinct Smo inhibitor(12), suggesting that the development of additional Smo antagonists will not be an adequate solution to this problem. Moreover, certain cancers such as Ewing's sarcoma and KRAS-induced pancreatic adenocarcinoma can proliferate in response to Gli activation through non canonical mechanisms(13-17). Chemical inhibitors that act downstream of Smo therefore constitute an important therapeutic strategy for the treatment of Hh pathway-dependent cancers. Due to the high susceptibility of Smo to small-molecule modulation, high-throughput screens using Hh ligand-stimulated cells are overwhelmingly dominated by Smo antagonists(18)
This lead discovery project employs a cell-based reporter that lacks Sufu and exhibits constitutive Hh target gene expression in response to endogenous Gli activators in order to find Smo-independent modulators of Hh pathway. The Sufu-KO-LIGHT cells used for this project rely on endogenous rather than overexpressed Gli for greater sensitivity toward the goal of identifying non-Smo Gli antagonists.

The Sufu-KO-LIGHT cells used for this project rely on endogenous rather than overexpressed Gli for greater sensitivity toward the goal of identifying non-Smo Gli antagonists.
The goal of this assay is to confirm hits in "uHTS identification of Gli-Sufu Antagonists in a luminescence assay", AID 588413 and to identify compounds that are non-selective antagonists of Gli-SUFU.

1) Grow Wnt3a cells to 70-80% confluence in T-225
2) Replace media with 60 mL fresh media
3) Grow for 30+ hours
4) Sterile filter media will 0.22 uM filtration apparatus
5) Toss remaining cells from conditioning flasks.
6) Compile media in sterile bottle
7) Media is good at 4 oC for several months if kept sterile.
Assay Procedure:
Day 1
1) Cells were harvested from 2 hyperflasks at 80-90% confluency per screening day.
2) Cells were suspended in Wnt-LIGHT assay medium to a density of 3.333*10^5 cells/mL.
3) 6 uL/well cell suspension was dispensed to all columns in Corning white polystyrene tissue treated 1536 well assay plates (#3727) or Aurora white polystyrene tissue treated 1536 well Low Base square well assay plates (#00029846) using Biotek Microflo Select peristaltic liquid handler/dispenser.
4) Plates were centrifuged 1 min at 1000 rpm (200xG) on an Eppendorf 5810 centrifuge
5) Plates were covered with Kalypsys brand stainless steel assay plate lids and placed over night (16-18 hrs) in humidified Liconic brand automated tissue culture incubator. Plates were stacked vertically in towers which rotate intermittently within the incubator. 37 oC, 5% CO2
Day 2
1) Kalypsys stainless steel lids were removed
2) Medium was removed from wells by aspiration leaving behind 2.5 uL using Kalypsys dispenser/aspirator
3) 5.5 uL Wnt3A conditioned medium was added to columns 3-48 using Kalypsys dispenser. Final assay concentration of conditioned medium was 69%.
4) 5.5 uL/well assay medium alone (without cells) was dispensed to columns 1-2 (positive control)
5) 5nL of 10 mM MLSMR test agents in DMSO stored in Labcyte Echo compatible Corning 1536 well Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC) plates were applied to assay wells (columns 5-48) using a Labcyte Echo 550 acoustic liquid handling system. Final assay concentration of test agents in the assay was 6.25 uM. 5 nL DMSO controls were also added to control wells (columns 1-4). Final DMSO concentration in the assay was 0.0625%.
6) Plates were centrifuged 1 min at 1000 rpm (200xG) on an Eppendorf 5810 centrifuge
7) Plates were covered with Kalypsys brand stainless steel assay plate lids and place over night (16-18 hrs) in humidity controlled Liconic Automated tissue culture incubator. Incubator stacks plates vertically in towers. 37 oC, 5% CO2
Day 3
1) Kalypsys stainless steel lids were removed and replaced with plastic assay plate lids from Corning 1536 well assay plates (#3727) and plates returned to incubator.
2) 3 uL /well Bright-Glo luciferase detection reagent (Promega) was added to assay wells using Multidrop Combi liquid handler (Thermo) and immediately centrifuged for 30 seconds on a VSpin integrated microplate centrifuge at 1500 rpm (Velocity11/Agilent Technologies) and incubated for 10 minutes uncovered at room temperature. Plastic assay lids were removed by the HRB robotic system before addition of Bright-Glo and NOT replaced. Luminescence was read on a Viewlux microplate imager (PerkinElmer). Read time: 90 sec, Binning: 2X.
Compounds that demonstrated a final average result of >= 25 % at 6.25 uM are considered re-confirmed and are prioritized for further tests and development.
To simplify the distinction between the inactives of the primary screen and of the confirmatory screening stage, the Tiered Activity Scoring System was developed and implemented.
Activity Scoring
Activity scoring rules were devised to take into consideration compound efficacy, its potential interference with the assay and the screening stage that the data was obtained. Details of the Scoring System will be published elsewhere. Briefly, the outline of the scoring system utilized for the assay is as follows:
1) First tier (0-40 range) is reserved for primary screening data. The score is correlated with % activity in the assay:
a. If outcome of the primary screen is inactive, then the assigned score is 0
b. If outcome of the primary screen is inconclusive, then the assigned score is 10
c. If outcome of the primary screen is active, then the assigned score is 20
Scoring for Single concentration confirmation screening is not applicable to this assay.
d. If outcome of the single-concentration confirmation screen is inactive, then the assigned score is 21
e. If outcome of the single-concentration confirmation screen is inconclusive, then the assigned score is 25
f. If outcome of the single-concentration confirmation screen is active, then the assigned score is 30
This scoring system helps track the stage of the testing of a particular SID. For the primary hits which are available for confirmation, their scores will be greater than 20. For those which are not further confirmed, their score will stay under 21.
2) Second tier (41-80 range) is reserved for dose-response confirmation data and is not applicable in this assay
3) Third tier (81-100 range) is reserved for resynthesized true positives and their analogues and is not applicable in this assay

text: I see the opposite with Morris. I see a kid that's dishing out punishment to tacklers. This is the back he is... it's how he runs. Behind his pads. It's exactly what I liked about him as a prospect, I even compared his style to a young Ronnie Brown. You're not looking to get 10 years out of a late round pick at RB. The idea is to get as much production as possible as quickly as possible, as opposed to 10 years of sitting on the bench. A RB's best asset is always their youth. The scheme in Washington also benefits from Alfred Morris... he's a better back than anything Miami has on their roster. I will always disagree on Lamar Miller.... he's not my type of back. Hell, the Eagles picked a RB in the 7th round who only had 104 carries in college and hadn't played significantly since 2009 that's better than Lamar Miller.

Learn About Loons
Loons are considered one of the most primitive birds on earth. They have not changed from their current form for the last one million years. The first loon relative appeared about 25 million years ago and measured about six feet from beak to tail. There are five species of loons in the world: Common Loon (Gavia immer), Yellow-billed Loon (Gavia adamsii), Pacific Loon (Gavia pacifica), Arctic Loon (Gavia arctica), and the Red-throated Loon (Gavia stellata). Only the Common Loon breeds in the lower 48 states and usually nests on inland lakes.
- LoonWatch focuses on the protection of common loons and their aquatic habitats through education, monitoring, and research.
- Loon Identification—What does a common loon look like?
- Loon Behavior & Vocalizations—Learn how to identify the diverse behaviors of loons and what they mean.
- Loon Ecology—Learn about the life cycle of a loon and loon habitat.
- Frequently Asked Common Loon Questions—Do loons mate for life? Are loons protected? How many eggs do loons lay? Look here for the answers to these and other frequently asked loon questions.
- Other Loon Groups & Resources—Visit these websites for information and news about loons across North America.
- Loon Artificial Nesting Platforms—Determine if your lake is a good candidate for a nesting platform and find out what you need to do to acquire a permit or notify the Wisconsin DNR about your platform project.
Amazing! A banded loon was admitted to Northwoods Animal Hospital with 2 hooks and 100 feet of braided line. They were able to remove the hooks & line endoscopically with the help of a local gastroenterologist. The lesson here - please don't fish near loons - spread the word!

Rochester fans marvel at comic books during annual celebration
ROCHESTER - Superheroes of all shapes and sizes swarmed the city Saturday to help celebrate Free Comic Book Day, which is held in many comic book shops in New Hampshire
Held on the first Saturday in May, the annual event has taken on a life of its own, turning Rochester into a crossroads of comic storylines where the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel could be seen walking past a wookie from Star Wars as a team of Ghostbusters crosses the street.
Meanwhile, spontaneous light saber duels between Jedi masters and Sith lords erupted throughout the downtown.
The event was both "crazy and awesome," according to Ralph DiBernardo, owner of Jetpack Comics.
"It's even busier than last year," he said, adding he estimated more than 7,000 participants took part in the event.
For many, the event was a family affair, much like Halloween.
James Naumes, of Durham, was dressed as Hellboy, was accompanied by his wife Daisy and their two sons. Hunter, 5, who came as Sonic the Hedgehog, and Auron, 2, who was clad as a padawan youngling from Star Wars.
"We love Jetpack and we love Comic Book Day," Naumes said, adding this year was even better than previous incarnations.
Rod Knowles, 50, of South Berwick, Maine, said he was thrilled that so many young enthusiasts share his passion for comic books.
"It's good to see a new group of collectors out," Knowles said, adding he feared it would be lost to other activities.
"I was surprised at the turnout," Knowles said, adding it was such a nice day and there is so much to do in the area.
Knowles, who has collected more than 27,000 comic books, said he's especially proud of some early issues of the Fantastic Four, which are very rare in any condition. Nonetheless, he added, any comic can be considered valuable in the eye of the beholder.
"Each one usually has a story," Knowles said.
For Rochester stores, the surge of people is a long-awaited infusion of customers.
"We've actually been booming today," said Becky Maloney, of Skele-Tone Records & Alternative Fashions.

skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (8 ounce) bottle
Italian-style salad dressing
1 (10.75 ounce) can
condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup
chicken broth
1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon
dried basil
1/2 teaspoon
dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
My husband is on Weight Watchers so I made this recipe with fat free zesty italian and fat free cream cheese and he thought it was GREAT! It is only 6 points per 3 ounce serving of chicken, for any other weight watchers out there!
"Nasty" according to my 10 yr old son. "OK" accdg to my boyfriend. "Mmmph" accdg to my 17 year old daughter. I didn't eat them. But I will NOT make them again.

This was so good. I modified the recipe a bit. The other reviews talked about how it was too rich and didn't reheat very well, so I used 8 oz. of lite Velveeta in place of the cream cheese. It created a very creamy sauce that reheated very well. Also, I made it low-fat by using reduced fat soup and reduced calorie salad dressing. VERY tasty! I'm going to try it again and freeze it for a friend who just had a baby!
This came out very well! I read all of the reviews first, so I added a few things. First I cut the cooking time on the chicken, and shredded it, but left it rather chunky. I added one whole can of chicken broth instead of a cup, and left simmering a little longer than an hour. (It wasn't dry AT ALL)
I added some frozen green beans and peas in that last hour. Right before serving I stirred in some chopped, fresh cilantro...I had tasted it and it needed something, so I tried the cilantro and it was GREAT! I served it over some stuffed ravioli I had in the freezer--it was mozzarella and spinach ravioli, and I topped it all off with the herb and cheese mixture the ravioli came with. All in all, it came out great...my husband and I both had seconds (thirds...). ;o)
I loved the sauce! Next time I'll try it with some chopped spinach mixed in...
This was very good. I threw everything in at one and used frozen chicken breasts. The cream cheese did not completely dissolve but I'm not picky. My husb. said it was a little too cheesy for him but liked it otherwise. Will make again.
THIS WAS A HUGE HIT for me and my 4 guests. I put everything in the crockpot at once; added spoonfulls of the cream cheese into the sauce. I used reduced fat dressing, reduced fat cream cheese, and the cream of chicken soup I used was not condensed. Halfway through cooking, I stirred the sauce since the cream cheese didn't melt as well. Around the 5th hour, I cut the chicken up into smaller pieces and cooked for another hour. PERFECT!
I made this w/ homemade dressing and I added a sliced onion which I cooked on low for 3 hrs. I drained it and added 1 can Herbed cr. of chick soup, an 8 oz. can of mushrooms w/ liquid, 1 teas. chick. soup base, and the 8 oz. cream cheese. FANTASTIC!!! Serve over rice {I like Jasmine or Basmati} or noodles!! I made my dressing using garlic red wine vinegar...
WOW! Moist, tender chicken pieces and tasty flavorful sauce. What more could we ask for. I followed the recipe for the most part, except I cut the Italian dressing to 4 ounces and didn't drain it off. Delicious over angel hair pasta, with green beans and spinach salad.This is a keeper for busy day with no time to cook. Thanks Monika.

The patient comes into the office and is given "patient information" forms to fill out including a medical history. The patient sees a video on the requested procedure and is furnished with a folder containing an "informed consent", a brochure on the procedure as well as our office and information regarding a photograph for before and after purposes. The patient is escorted to an examination room following the video where Dr. Ali takes a history and physical. A thorough examination is conducted on the area(s) pertaining to surgery. A comprehensive discussion of the planned procedure including concerns and complications are carefully documented. Based on the findings and patient wishes, a surgical plan is offered. The patient is encouraged to think about the surgery and is advised to return prior to surgery at no additional charge.
In-patient surgeries are performed in a fully accredited major hospital. Out-patient surgeries are performed at fully accredited surgery centers affiliated with hospitals. Operating environment consists of highly qualified plastic surgery oriented surgical staff that are sympathetic to the patient's needs.
