1 cup
evaporated milk
1 cup
white sugar
egg yolk, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
1/2 cup
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 cup
chopped pecans
1 cup
flaked coconut
I made this recipe,but I added about a tablespoon/table spoon in a half of cornstarch mixed with the evaporated milk,to thicken since some people said it was a little runny.I chopped up my pecans,(only about a half cup or less)about a 1/4 cup of lightly roasted coconut.I finished making the frosting then let it sit for about an hour,it thicken up nicely but not too thick to spread.I frosted it on a nicely refrigerated german chocolate cake and it spread magnificiently.I sell cakes/pies/cookies and food and this cake was gone in 2 minutes or less I kid u not.It was a huge huge huge hit.Also to note,I never liked the frosting on the german chocolate cakes before,due to too much coconut too sweet etc... but this I added to my own liking on the coconut and pecans.It also tasted sweet when I tried it(which made me skeptical)but when it was on the cake the cake isnt that sweet mixed with the frosting it was perfect just perfect I tell u.An A+++++++++++++++++if not better.Thank you thank you thank you.
This frosting tasted delicious!! HOWEVER...it was SOOO RUNNY!! I followed the directions just as the cook wrote out.....and at the end I realized I had forgotten to add the cornstarch as everyone else had suggested......So I added it to the mixture....and it did not help at all.....I added more and more...until finally I realized it was not helping and altering the texture of the it.... So there must be a trick or something with activation when you mix the cornstarch with the evaporated milk...b/c it didnt work when it was all over and done with....I would try this again, because the flavor was excellent like I said...there was a heavy topping of coconut/pecan ingredients, and beneath that was all the liquid... It was a waste, we didnt even use it...HOWEVER, the chocolate cake recipe I used was "Too Much Chocolate Cake" and it was heavenly...mmm...i'll be making that cake again for the 4th of July coming up. I just cant figure out why the cook would give a recipe that wouldnt come out right... The miserable part was that it wasted my time, and money... the other recipe I made was baklava and it turned out great lol, better luck next time "?"

This came out wonderfully, very rich and sweet though, so don't feel the need to really glob it on your cake, just a thin layer is good enough! As far as those reviewers suggesting to add cornstarch, I've got to say 3/4 of the way through cooking I was tempted to throw it out and start again with cornstarch as it was still really thin. But then I just decided that the problem was that on low heat it would take forever to caramalize the sugars enough to thicken the milk. So I just turned up the heat, started stirring like mad, and it did thicken beautifully. I would think that if you did this AND added cornstarch your resulting frosting would be the consistancy of rubber boots, so if you're too scared to turn up the heat, do the cornstarch, if you're no stranger to candy making, by all means leave the cornstarch out and crank the heat up after all the ingredients have gotten warm on low.
How good is this recipe, it's easy to make and delicious. The reviewer that suggested adding cornstarch to the evaporated milk was right on target. I turned out beautifully. I also toasted the pecans and coconut.
This frosting was fabulous!! I did not alter any of the ingredients listed. I agree with other reviewers, it does NOT need cornstarch. Based on other reviews, I added all ingredients, except the vanilla and nuts, into saucepan and cooked over 2-3 level heat for about 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally (while it was warming, I toasted the coconut and pecans in the oven 5 min at 350). Once the butter was thoroughly melted and the mixture was smooth, I turned up the heat to between 6-7 and continued to cook for another 6-7 minutes until the mixture started to boil. After it started to boil, I continued to cook, stirring constantly, for another 6-7 minutes. At the end of the 6-7 minutes, the mixture should just be getting into the soft candy stage (higher than 200 deg). If you are unfamiliar with this, it will seem like the mixture is starting to pull away from the edges of the pan and the bubbles will start making a popping noise more than a rolling boil type sound. Once it reaches this stage, I cooked for about 2 more minutes then removed from heat. I added the vanilla and mixed to blend then added the toasted cooconut and pecans. I left the mixture in the sauce pan on the back of the stove as I made the cake. By the time the cake was cooled, the frosting was a perfect consistency and was the exact amount needed for a 13x9 cake. Turned out magnificient, looked great and tasted even better. Thanks Carol!!
This was very good! I also took other reviewers advice and added 1 Tbsp of cornstarch to the evaporated milk. When it was not thickening I brought it to a boil and immediately removed it from the heat and kept stirring it and that did the trick.
This icing was wonderful! I made a chocolate bundt cake, and poured icing on top. It made a beautiful cake. I received great reviews from my guests! I did add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to evaporated milk, and used real butter rather than margarine. I will definitely be using this recipe again!
Wow! I made this frosting with Dark Chocolate Cake II for my husband's birthday and it was fantastic! I did use 1 TBSP of cornstarch to help thicken and it came out perfect. I will be using this recipe again and again!
UPDATE: I made this frosting again and used walnuts instead of pecans and I ran out of eggs so I used an egg beater in place of one of the egg yolks. It still turned out excellent! This frosting has instantly become a favorite!!!

At Edward, we don't just treat illnesses, we try to prevent them. As one of Chicagoland's only community hospitals to have a genetic counselor on staff, we're able to help people identify if they are at risk for an inherited disease and what options they have to manage or prevent it.
In order to determine if genetic testing is right for you, talk to your doctor or ask for a referral to see our genetic counselor.
Elyse Weber, MS is a board certified genetic counselor who specializes in patient education and coordination of genetic testing. Elyse received her undergraduate degree from Benedictine University and her graduate degree from the University of Michigan. She joined Edward Hospital after working for eight years at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Elyse is licensed by the State of Illinois and she is a member of the National Society of Genetic Counselors and Genetic Task Force of Illinois. Elyse's primary interest is to educate individuals about their genetic risk factors, explain available options for diagnosis and treatment, and support them throughout the decision-making process.
During a genetic evaluation, our genetic counselor will take a detailed family history report. After evaluating your personal and family history, we can see if there is an increased risk for certain medical conditions in you or your family.
How is genetic testing performed?What is the cost of genetic testing and is it covered by health insurance?Who performs the genetic testing?How do I make an appointment for genetic counseling?Where can I get more information about cancer and genetic testing for inherited cancer syndromes?
How is genetic testing performed?In most cases, genetic testing often consists of a simple blood draw. The sample is sent to a laboratory where technicians look for gene mutations. It is not necessary to fast before having blood drawn for a genetic test.
What is the cost of genetic testing and is it covered by health insurance?The cost of genetic testing depends on the specific test that is ordered and can range from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. For those individuals with suspicious personal or family histories genetic testing is often covered by health insurance. If our genetic counselor recommends genetic testing, she will discuss with you the cost of testing, ways in which to check on insurance coverage, and billing practices prior to testing being performed.
Who performs the genetic testing?Most genetic tests for inherited cancer syndromes are highly specialized and performed at only a few laboratories. The most commonly tested for inherited cancer syndrome at Edward Hospital is hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome due to mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes.
We also offer genetic counseling for cardiovascular, pediatric and prenatal disorders.
How do I make an appointment for genetic counseling?Appointments are available at convenient times in a comfortable setting at Edward Hospital. Call (630) 646-6020. A written referral from a physician is required for a consultation with our genetic counselor. This referral should be faxed to 630-527-3400 and must be received by us before an appointment can be scheduled
Where can I get more information about cancer and genetic testing for inherited cancer syndromes?General information about many different types of cancer can be found by visiting the American Cancer Society.
Specific information about genetic testing for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) due to mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene can be found on the National Cancer Institute's website.

Step 1: Materials needed
A 12x12cm brass, copper or tinned metal plate, a BNC chassis connector, a BNC cable connector, 35mm thick PE or styrofoam (can also be thicker) and some 1.5mm2 single core wire. This stuff is used in the netherlands in 220V in house cabling.
Other possible materials:
I can imagine that people want to use other materials, like a pipe to mount the antenna wire on. If you could get a pipe with roughly a 35mm diameter, you can use that IF the material is good for radiowaves. There is a very simple way to find out. Place a piece of styrofoam in your microwave, together with a piece of the material you want to use. Turn on the microwave for 30 seconds. Stop the microwave immedeately if you see the other material melt. Now check out how warm the other material is, if it's not warmer, or a little warmer than the styrofoam, you have found suitable material, if it has melted or is very hot,that you're dealing with lossy material which absorbes microwave radiation and turns it into heat, this material is useless for making high performance antenna's. This trick works so well because the WIFI band is at 2.45GHz and microwaves also radiate at that frequency, so it's a perfect test. Some very good materials are PE tubes, teflon tubes (if you can afford them) and PolyProlylene tubes.
As he is receiving a signal from Pijnacker, it is most likely the Netherlands so I guess Dutch.
His Antenna can't be that good that he is receiving Pijnacker all the way in Wisconsin
Dutch maybe ?
my friend, you MUST ONLY use a coax feed line thats rated at 50 ohms. TV cable (rg-59 or rg-6 etc) is rated at 75 ohm. CAT 5e? different types of data cables have ratings of 300ohm, 600ohm & some at 150ohm. but cat 5-5e & cat6-6a are typically considered 100ohm. however, (real world) a UTP pair will give you less than 10ohms for approx 100m. either way, those options were destined to failure. The use of CAT5e to feed an antenna at 2400mhz+ probably resulted in nearly ZERO emission from the antenna at all. Instead, the CAT5e became the antenna itself. but was incredibly mismatched, (a) resistance of 10ohms instead of 50ohms & (b) length of wire certainly wasnt tuned to a 2.4Ghz wavelength.This probably caused all the RF energy to build severe standing-wave & reflect everything back into the output circuit..... POP! [smoke exits device, etc.]
dont be discouraged. i've done worse to a $300,000 FM transmitter (i didnt really like that job anyway. but the competing stations LOVED me )
keep experimenting (but read first),
i burned out at least 3 cards before learning always ground yourself to something via speaker wire or buy one at radio shack $5. your wifi card is not built to last. try again or give up . done correctly this antenna is the preferred design for wardriving. in moms basement a simple dipole with a parabolic reflector cant be beat.. .
but yer friends house
also amazing project but how well will this work through 4ft of stone and a distance of around 30ft? (i have a art studio with no phone socket in case your wondering)
id like to see how you got 16dbi .. its possible.. aluminium siding reflects . this is a good design in dense urban areas . easy 8-12 dbi over 1/4 wave. dipole . increased signal with reflector made from aluminum screen and patience..
Brilliant! Also beautifully sorted (Microwave testing!) and photographed....
I don't need one at the moment, but if ever I do.....
One question, do I need two of these, one for each direction, or is one enough?
Many thanks for sharing
There are many low cost usb wifi adapters with an external antenna connector.
I would mount one directly to the helical antenna and use a good grade usb cable to computer.
will it work as a transmitter antenna connected instead of a factory-made wifi router antenna?
here is another alternative, but the cable really needs to be replaced with decent cable. http://www.dealextreme.com/p/2-4ghz-8dbi-sma-high-gain-dish-directional-antenna-for-wifi-wireless-network-2400-2483mhz-32023
What I'm trying to do is to adapt your design to 2.1GHz(UMTS).
also can a PCB be used instead of copper plate??
I wanted a way to mount the plate & aim it
a refinement I opted for is to put a .060" aluminum 2"x12" bracket in between the Copper plate & the N-50 connector. drilled & used a countersink bit to bed it in till solidly placed.
bend the ends 90 degrees. drill holes as needed & mount.
I am planning on getting a Students gooseneck lamp & mounting my antenna in place of the lamp.
this extra metal has a benifit of keeping the soldering nub/hub down below the surface.
just trimmed the soldered part down to 1 mm high.
I built this antenna last year "from" the video. had to replay a few times! :-)
but got it in 1st pass.I used 14gu. copper I stripped out of some Duplex house wiring.
a packing /shipping company gave me teh foam, I had to put an extra piece 1/2 length underneath to support it.
I used the Copper clad "ROOf" material you see on the finer houses.
the Roofing co. gave me a free scrap. I have made 5 antennas from it! still plenty left.
it is a super Hi-gain antenna!!
it is circular polorized, so what!!
it gets the signals in, for My rural buddy, it is THE only one of the 4 types I built that works. its a complete wave length antenna, I think that is alot of its sucess.
it is HIGHLY directional!! and I mean 1/2 degrees can make or break you.
easier to use than the 15 element Yagi. that is Sick directional, though easier to DIY.
I have been meaning to make of this conical Foam antenna for myself.
I tip my hat Dude.

This next draft is pretty deep at some positions we need help at. Legadu and Chad are our starting WRs at the moment...not only is that not a good thing but they are also both on 1 year deals. We need to pony up and look at getting Tannehill someone to develop with..or a couple. Here is my preliminary list of WRs
1. Keenan Allen - Cal
2. Marquess Wilson - Wash St.
3. Robert Woods - USC
4. Andre Debose - Florida
5. Justin Hunter - Tenn
6. Da'Rick Rodgers - Tenn
7. Stedman Bailey - WV
8. Tavon Austin - WV
9. Ryan Swope - Texas AM
10. Kenny Stills - Oklahoma
These are my top 10 guys...before the season. Im sure there are some under the radar guys but this list is pretty much higher profile guys that I know about because Ive seen them play. Most of these guys are only juniors so they may or may not come out. Id say the top 3 on this list are all first rounders..and then after that its anyone's guess. What do you guys think of this list and what does yours look like??

Volleyball sweeps Presbyterian 3-0 to earn 20th win of the season
Requires Adobe Flash
Saturday, October 23, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 23, 2010) -
The ETSU volleyball team earned a 3-0 (25-22, 25-19, 25-23) sweep of Presbyterian in non-conference volleyball action at Brooks Gym, Saturday afternoon.
ETSU moves to 20-6 (4-1 A-Sun) with the victory, while Presbyterian falls to 10-14 (3-6 Big South) with the loss. The Bucs finished the match with a .316 attack percentage while limiting the Blue Hose to a .206 efficiency on the afternoon. The Bucs have now recorded 20 wins for the first time since 2006 and are currently in the middle of a five match winning streak. The .316 attack efficiency was their second best total of the season.
Freshman outside hitter
Megan Devine
(Kingsport, Tenn.) led the way for the Bucs with 11 kills on the afternoon, while also adding six digs and a service ace.
Erin Ryan
(Davie, Fla.) recorded 10 kills and three digs for the Bucs.
Alysa Long
(Romulus, Mich.) was extremely efficient on the afternoon as she recorded seven kills on nine attempts with no errors for a .778 hitting efficiency. Long also recorded a game-high seven blocks for the Bucs.
Whitney Cogburn
(Kingsport, Tenn.) racked up 25 assists while
Kiley Tamblyn
(Torrance, Fla.) had a game-high 17 digs to lead the ETSU defense. Freshman
Nici DeVries
(Orangeville, Ill.) provided a spark off the bench with a season-high 11 assists, while adding two service aces.
The Bucs jumped out to a fast start by taking a 15-8 lead in the opening set. Presbyterian then made a run of their own to pull within two at 15-13. The Bucs extended their lead after taking the next four points. After Presbyterian cut the lead to two at 23-21, ETSU took the set thanks to kills from Devine and Ryan. The Bucs hit .333 in the set, while limiting Presbyterian to a .162 efficiency.
ETSU got off to a quick start in the second set as well, taking a 6-2 lead. Presbyterian quickly responded by taking the next four points to tie up the match. The two teams traded points until the score was tied at 13-13. Then, the Bucs reeled off four straight points to take the 17-13 lead. ETSU remained in control and eventually closed out the set thanks to back-to-back kills by Long and
Lauren Baufield
(Plymouth, Minn.). Long was impressive in the second set as she recorded four kills on four attempts, while also adding five blocks.
The third set started with both teams trading points until a Carolyn Fabros service error put the Bucs on top 17-16. Then, DeVries recorded a service ace to force a Presbyterian timeout. The Blue Hose rallied to tie the score at 23, but the Bucs got two straight kills from Ryan and freshman
Summer Kremer
(Mills River, N.C.) to close the set and match.
Presbyterian was led by Presley Mabrey on the offensive end as she recorded a game-high 18 kills, while also adding five digs.
The Bucs close out non-conference play on Wednesday as they travel to Cullowhee, N.C. to take on Western Carolina. The match is set for 7 p.m.

There is a German music band called "Die Toten Hosen". Is it a metaphor or just a creation by this band with no deeper meaning?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
German Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for speakers of German wanting to discuss the finer points of the language and translation. It's 100% free, no registration required.
There is the colloquial (youth language) expression
which means "nothing going on" or "off-time.", something that is lacking in energy.
For example
The literal translation is "dead trousers."
I had a teacher that once said that the origin of this expression comes from men with erectile dysfunction. And that's perfectly plausible, it's like your pants (or what you have inside) are dead (nothing happens).
Indeed 'dead trousers' refers to a man with erectile dysfunction, but it has wider cultural use, meaning 'uninteresting' or 'not worth bothering with'.

Man accused of smuggling through Arizona storm drain
NOGALES, Ariz. — A Mexican man has been accused of drug smuggling after being
arrested near Nogales' storm drain system.
Prosecutors say 23-year-old Ruben Borboa-Ibarra appeared Wednesday in U.S.
District Court in Tucson.
He's been charged in a federal complaint with conspiracy to smuggle marijuana
and using a tunnel or passageway to smuggle narcotics.
Two juveniles taken into custody were turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol.
Nogales Tunnel Task Force officers say they seized more than 38 pounds of
marijuana found in the trio's possession.
The officers were conducting surveillance Tuesday night west of downtown
Nogales when they heard voices inside the storm drain system.
They say the juveniles were wearing head lamps and carrying large burlap bags
filled with marijuana.
Borboa-Ibarra was found hiding in a shed. His hometown isn't immediately known.

Knapp Lake (Noble Co.)-Observant neighbors are responsible for calling the police earlier tonight after they saw what they believed to be a breaking and entering in progress in southwestern Noble County; a call that resulted in the arrest of a 50 year old man from the Madison County city of Elwood.
According to Trooper Justin Snyder, at approximately 8:30 pm, the Noble County Sheriff Department dispatched a breaking and entering in progress in the 0600 block of South Wildwood Drive at Knapp Lake. Upon arriving in the area, Snyder and Trooper John Silver spoke to the callers who believed that the suspect was still in the residence.
After additional Troopers arrived, and the residence was surrounded, the suspect, identified as Stephen R. Lawrence, 50 of Elwood, Indiana was observed in the residence and at approximately 9:45 pm, he was taken into custody without incident. Further investigation revealed that the residence, whose owners are Fort Wayne residents, was not occupied by its owners at the time and that Lawrence had been in the area for the last couple of days using a bicycle as a mode of transportation.
Lawrence was taken to and incarcerated in the Noble County Jail under an $8,000 cash bond. Formal charges will be filed by the Noble County Prosecutor's Office.
Preliminary charges:
• Residential Entry, Class D Felony
• Criminal Trespass, Class A Misdemeanor
All Suspects Are Presumed Innocent Until Proven Guilty in a Court of Law

I am searching for any good site that teaches C++, that can explain most to all things about it(general) and has a decent active community.
About Me: I am new to programming(knows nothing of it, so please bare with me), I have only learned(to a very basic form) LUA scripting Language, so yes I am your complete newbie.
I got interested in programming, from scripting in LUA, so you can say it was my small stepping stone, One would basically take a course in college, but not everyone is well funded for that and I can't buy books for the same said reason(yes I'm somewhat poor, only money for essentials and bills), I'm not trying to get sympathy, just stating my conditions.
and Please, something in between the lines of 'Programming for Dummies'(I'm not the brightest crayon in the box), I know this will not be easy, but your help will be most appreciated.
I would learn for either Windows and/or Linux/Unix. I use both.
Site(s) I know: Cplusplus.org(quite inactive and tutorials are a little for the programming savvy.

We've been on a shoe-buying rampage ever since Convert's sole spot hit Berkeley's luxe 4th Street shopping stretch a few months back. In fact, you may recall our sly Instagram snaps of the sleek interior. And while the shop stocks a sizeable amount of eco-friendly, eye-pleasing steppers, we continually flip for the exclusive Jeffrey Campbell x Convert creations. Get excited peeps — the brand (a perpetual blogger fave) has teamed up with the Bay Area shop yet again to craft a new selection of vegan shoes.
This is the fourth-consecutive year the earth-conscious collab has taken place, and we're more stoked than ever to get these bad boys on our feet. "When we made the decision to go vegan with JC, we had no idea the response would be so amazing," says Convert owner Randy Brewer. "It's great to be able to provide ladies who have such commendable values with shoes without sacrificing great design. We plan on keeping this going for a long time!" We have an insider glance at the new styles expected to hit stores this summer (some pairs are available now), so get ready to ogle. And with prices ranging from $92 to $172, we are definitely tacking these onto our summer wishlist.

To my great surprise, I learned that Ace Frehley, lead guitarist of Kiss, wrote the original version of this track. The cover comes from Australian composer and multi-instrumentalist Oren Ambarchi. The track is taken from his most recent album, Audience of One, which was released on Touch Records this year.
Ambarchi has performed with John Zorn, Otomo Yoshihide, Keiji Haino, Jim O'Rourke, Sunn O)), and countless others. Ambarchi first began playing music in the '80s as a free jazz drummer, but most of his work since then has involved experimentation with the guitar. Ambarchi also plays in Gravetemple with Stephen O'Malley of Sunn O)), and in Burial Chamber Trio with the other half of Sunn O)), Greg Anderson.

I remember seeing this when Win7 first came out. In fact, I used it once to help a friend. But I lost it .
There's a way to install a lower version of Windows from an Ultimate CD. Actually, the tip worked both ways. Basic premise was to copy the CD files to a hard drive, modify one (1) particular file, then create an ISO on a new CD and run the install. Of course, the proper key is required for the version you are installing.
My sailing friend headed out to see his SO this evening. He took along my Ultimate CDs, 32-bit and 64-bit. His lady's laptop locked up on her, and he couldn't cure it over the phone (she's somewhat less than technically patient ). He created a recovery disc when they bought her laptop, but may not be able to find it. And those recovery discs don't always work as advertised - I've had two (2) that failed, and have heard of others. So I loaned him the CDs I bought, with the understanding that he'd use the key on her laptop.
But I think he'll need to do the correction thing in order for them to work. I've mentioned before that my short-term memory - say five (5) to ten (10) years - ain't what it used to be, and it's failing me now in finding the aforementioned instruction .
So the question is, does anyone have a link to that instruction, or perhaps know how to accomplish the kinda/sorta downgrade?

Call (888) 784-1722 Mon-Sat 8:30-5:00 PST
Thanks for Subscribing!
Use Code: at Checkout!
Hurry! Expires !
Our trees will come to you topped off at approx. 3 ft in height to put the tree's stored energy first into root development vs. foliage production.
When placing your bare root orders, please be aware that AS SOON as the trees/plants are available to ship (Dec. for trees, Jan. for plants), we will begin shipping IMMEDIATELY - no matter where you are located !!!
There are several factors why we must ship immediately:
When your order arrives, you should remove it from the outside elements before nightfall. If you will not be present at the destination when the order will be delivered, you should either ship the order to another location or make sure someone will be there to take care of your order.
While your order is hardy enough to withstand freezing temperatures in its box, you definitely should not leave it outside in sub-zero temperatures for days on end.
AS IMPORTANTLY, you then need to open the box, remove the trees/plants from their plastic bag, store them in a basement, cellar or garage, covering their roots with sand, dirt, sawdust or wood chips (do not use cedar that is toxic to the trees) and keep them moist until you are able to plant them in the ground in Spring.
Only available to customers who have purchased their bare-root trees directly from PVF&GS.
Organic Gardening Resource Center - Your Source Since 1976!
Beautiful tree in the late fall when fruit hangs on tree after the leaves have fallen. Striking, dark green leaves turn shades of yellow, orange and red.
Standard rootstock. Trees are 2 years old, and should begin to fruit in their 3rd year. Take care not to overwater the tree after initial soaking as this can delay leafing-out.
For best success, be sure to choose a tree that will grow in your USDA zone, has an appropriate number of chill hours for your climate. If a pollinator is needed, make sure they're planted within 50 feet of each other and will bloom at the same time.

ST. MARYS - The St. Marys Area High School Swim and Dive Team held their 2011 home opener on Thursday night against the Brookville Raiders. The Dutch and Lady Dutch squads won their meets, raising their records to 2-0 for the season.
The Lady Dutch placed first every event in the lineup to win the meet 110-53. Double individual winners included Steph Buerk in the 200-yard and 500-yard freestyles and Emma Daghir in the 50-yard freestyle and 100-yard breaststroke. Other individual winners included Kylee Proudfit in the 200-yard individual medley, Shannon Krieg in one-meter diving, Michaela Rupprecht in the 100-yard butterfly, Megan Barber in the 100-yard freestyle and Brittany Orr in the 100-yard backstroke.
The Lady Dutch prevailed in the relays, with first-place finishes in all three events. The winning 200-yard medley relay consisted of Orr, Daghir, Rupprecht and Proudfit, while Barber joined Proudfit, Daghir and Buerk to win the 200-yard freestyle relay. The 400-yard freestyle relay won their unscored event with the lineup of Barber, Rupprecht, Orr and Buerk.
"Every race that the girls had featured quality swims. We knew our depth would help us tonight, but we were very excited at how determined these girls were to come out strong and post great times for this early in the season," noted Coach Mark DeMuro.
The Dutchmen also notched another win with the final tally of 97-69.
The boys dropped their first relay of the meet to the Raiders by a touch, but quickly made up ground, taking eight of the remaining eleven events.
Andrew Cotter was a double winner for the Dutch, winning the 200-yard freestyle and 100-yard breaststroke. Single individual winners included Alex Renwick in the 200-yard individual medley, Justin Huey in one-meter diving, Jeffrey Moore in the 500-yard freestyle and Corey Koss in the 100-yard backstroke.
The 200-yard freestyle relay team of Cotter, Matt Hoffman, Ryan Struble and Moore as the anchor held off a charging Brookville squad, but managed to win the event by .6 seconds. The 400-yard freestyle relay of Renwick, Struble, Koss and Moore breezed to their first-place, unscored finish.
"We saw a few time drops from some of our guys tonight, which we thought could happen, but you never know. It was good to see that in the first meet when we have the bulk of the schedule ahead of us," DeMuro said.
The team will be back in action next Thursday, Jan. 20 at home, when they meet the Bradford Owls.Â

Little is known about the small monasteries in Latin Christendom from the 7th to the 10th centuries. Were these modest versions of the large monastic houses or forerunners of the pieve, community churches? How did these settlements function within a landscape of small, nucleated villages? This project aims to carefully document one such monastery, San Pietro d'Asso, to attempt to answer these questions. San Pietro was a royal foundation and subject of dispute between the bishops of Arezzo and Siena. Founded by King Aripert I around AD 643, it is situated just west of the Via Cassia, a key pilgrimage route. The present hilltop site includes stone architecture, and is covered with abundant 10th century artifacts. Below the hill, close to the Asso river, lie the remains of a Roman settlement. Students will learn archaeological field methods through hands-on work at two sites: the bishop's complex at Pava in San Giovanni d'Asso and the hilltop site of San Pietro d'Asso. The initial field season of research will include a geophysical survey of the hilltop to establish the density of occupation as well as the collection and study of the surface artifacts and ceramics. Preparations will be made for excavation of hilltop structures, in search of fortifications and stratified artifact deposits.

The South Jersey Project is the only opportunity at Penn for students to directly participate in actual archaeological excavations during the academic year (Fall Semesters). The South Jersey Project is exploring the historic town of Vineland in upper Cumberland County, New Jersey. Vineland was established in 1861 as a planned supply center (stores, churches, schools and homes) for a large, newly opened agricultural region set up in the Pine Barrens. During the Victorian Period it was successfully settled and then went on in the 20th century to become (in its municipal boundaries) the largest city in the state. Since 2001 Penn students have been exploring the backyards of historic homes inside the town center. Read more about the South Jersey Project

The short-term worries that troubled U.S. equity investors in August have continued to melt away—that is, they seem to have been resolved or discounted by market participants in September. Here's what we're seeing:
Syria: A military conflict between the U.S. and Syria is likely to be avoided. The White House has seized upon the Putin-led proposal to allow Syria to surrender its chemical weapons, although the details are still undetermined. President Obama has a fraction of the votes needed in the Republican-led House to launch even a limited attack on Syria, echoing the sentiment of 60% of the American public who opposing a military strike. I expect Obama's televised speech tonight will likely open the diplomacy door wider.
Tapering: The market appears to have baked in the expectation of an announcement next week that the Fed will gradually reduce its bond buying from $85 billion per month to $75 billion per month, accompanied by language that gives the Fed lots of room to reverse course if economic conditions worsen.
Fed chair: The market also looks to have discounted that Larry Summers will become the next Fed chair, rather than Janet Yellen. The announcement is likely two to six weeks out, depending on the outcome of near-term events in Syria. Former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner has apparently thrown his support behind Summers, which has led to speculation that Yellen will withdraw her candidacy quietly.
Debt ceiling and continuing resolution: We expect Congress to pass a continuing resolution this week, kicking the can to December 13 (one week before Congress' winter recess) and avoiding the spectacle of a Republican-led government shutdown set to go into effect on September 30. This could be accompanied by language raising the debt ceiling.
German elections: Polls indicate that Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic party will handily win the September 22 election over Peer Steinbruck's Social Democratic party, paving the way for Merkel to remain Chancellor for a third term. Once her party wins, we expect further softening in her European austerity language.
Other positives: Global automotive sales continue to soar; China's industrial production, exports and retail sales are all stronger than expected; Japan's GDP growth was even stronger than expected in the second quarter (3.8% versus an estimate of 2.6%), and a new government stimulus package to counter a doubling of sales tax is likely this month.
The S&P 500 Index is already up 3.0% this month, having retraced almost all of August's 3.1% decline. We believe we are in the mid-cycle of a secular bull market, with equity earnings yields of 6.8% (1/2014 forward P/E estimate of 14.6x), providing a 380 basis point advantage relative to 10-Year Treasurys now pushing 3.0%. This 380 basis point equity premium would still rank among the cheapest 20% equity yields (relative to bonds) over the past 60 years. Putting this differently, if S&P 500 earnings grow from $110 in 2013 by 5% per year (equal to estimated nominal U.S. GDP growth over the next few years) to $125 in 2016, and long-term interest rates move up to 4%, we would expect a normal P/E multiple of 18x to 20x, based on what multiples have been over the past 50 years when long-term interest rates were in the 4% to 6% range. This would equate to an S&P level of 2250 to 2500 by 2016, and a compound growth rate of 12%, plus a current dividend yield of 2.1%, for an annualized total return on equities of 14% to 15%.

Multiplexed high-throughput screen for small molecule regulators of Bcl-2 family protein interactions, specifically Bim-Bfl-1
One arm of apoptosis is regulated by the balance of anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members. In humans, six genes have been identified that encode anti-apoptotic proteins characterized by the presence of conserved motifs designated as three Bcl-2 homology (BH) regions, BH1, BH2, and BH3 [Reed, et al. 2004]. These domains form a hydrophobic cleft in tertiary structure. more ..

Assay Background and Significance:
One arm of apoptosis is regulated by the balance of anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members. In humans, six genes have been identified that encode anti-apoptotic proteins characterized by the presence of conserved motifs designated as three Bcl-2 homology (BH) regions, BH1, BH2, and BH3 [Reed, et al. 2004]. These domains form a hydrophobic cleft in tertiary structure. Pro-apoptotic family members contain BH3 regions that form an amphipathic helix, and these helices bind in the clefts of the anti-apoptotic proteins. Overexpression of pro-apoptotic BH3 peptides has been shown to increase apoptosis of leukemia cells in in vitro and animal model studies [Holinger, et al. 1999; Wang et al. 2000; Walensky et al. 2004]. The binding of fluorochrome-conjugated BH3 peptides (including Bim) to Bcl-2 family members thus provides the basis for construction of fluorescence-based assays amenable to flow cytometry high throughput screening for small molecule regulators of these interactions. This is a multiplexed assay to identify small molecule regulators of protein interactions between the BH3 peptide of Bim and the following six Bcl-2 family members: Bcl-XL, Bcl-W, Bcl-B, Bfl-1, and Mcl-1 and Bcl-2 (the eponymous founding member of the Bcl-2 family).
Each component of the multiplex assay consists of a glutathione labeled bead, a GST Bcl-fusion protein target (six total, supplied by project collaborator), and a fluorescent peptide probe, F-Bim (FITC-Axh-DMRPEIWIAQELRRIGDEFNAYYAR-OH; Commonwealth Biotech, USA). Bead sets are coated with individual GST-conjugated Bcl-2 proteins in HPSMTB buffer (30mM HEPES, 100mM KCl, 20mM NaCl, 1mM MgCl(2), 0.01% Tween-20, 0.1% BSA) and incubated overnight at 4 degrees C.
The mulitplex is constructed by using beads for each protein target that have been labeled with varying intensities of red color, so that each assay is built on a unique bead set, and each bead set is associated with a unique optical address. Beads are first washed in HPSMTB buffer for 20 minutes before adding the appropriate GST-Bcl fusion protein. The bead sets (ThermoFisher Scientific product numbers XPR-1687-XPR-1696), have similar size (~ 4 micron diameter) and are distinguished by distince emission characteristics at 665 +/-10 nm with excitation at 635 nm. Thus, GST-Bfl-1 might be noncovalently coated onto red level 1 beads, GST-Bcl-XL onto red level 2 beads, etc. The 6 bead sets (each with bound protein) and uncoated beads (see below) are first centrifuged separately, then combined and centrifuged again, and finally diluted just before loading into 384-well plates to minimize bead-protein dissociation before the assay begins.
The assay is conducted in 384-well microplates in a total assay volume per well of 10.1 microliters (5 microliters of bead mixture, 0.1 microliters of test compound, and 5 microliters of 100nM F-Bim in HPSMTB). Test compound concentration is 10 micromolar. Controls, which contain bead mixture and F-Bim but no test compound, are located in columns 1 and 2 on each plate. Plates are placed horizontal axis on rotators and incubated for 1-2 hours at 4 degrees C.
A glutathione-only bead set control (no associated GST-protein) is incorporated into each well as a fluorescence scavenger to determine inherent fluorescent properties (at 530 nm emission) of the test compounds. Specificity of F-Bim binding is determined with a Positive Control using a block of the F-Bim Fluor with a non-fluoresceinated F-Bim peptide. The F-Bim blocking control is run daily as a separate single tube assay using F-Bim at 5 micromolar.
Sample analysis is conducted with the HyperCyt(R) high throughput flow cytometry platform. The HyperCyt system interfaces a flow cytometer and autosampler for high-throughput microliter-volume sampling from 384-well microtiter plates [Kuckuck, et al. 2001]. Flow cytometric data of light scatter and fluorescence emission at 530 +/- 20 nm (FL1) and 665 +/- 10 nm (FL8) are collected on a Cyan Flow Cytometer (Dako). Analysis is performed using time-resolved acquisition into a single data file and analysis using IDLeQuery software to merge the flow cytometry data files with compound worklist files generated by HyperSip software. The raw data are parsed in IDLeQuery to produce annotated fluorescence summary data for each well. The parsed data are then processed through an Excel template file constructed specifically for the assay to segregate data for each target and the fluorescence scavenger in the multiplex. Gating based on forward scatter (FS) and side scatter (SS) parameters is used to identify singlet bead populations. Gating based on FL8 emission distinguishes the beads coated with different proteins, and the median fluorescence per bead population is calculated.
In order to get a significant measurement of the effect by a compound on a particular protein, 25 beads with that particular protein bound is the minimum number of beads to be collected from a well. When less than 25 beads are counted, the result for that protein is considered missing. Compounds from missing wells is given PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME = 4, and are automatically assigned a PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE of 0. In this set of 60,660 compounds, for Bfl-1 there are 17 missing compounds.
When the measured emission is potentially attributed to the innate fluorescence of the compound, these compounds are flagged as "Possible Green Fluorescent Compound" (see column titled PUBCHEM_ASSAYDATA_COMMENT) and the results from a fluorescent compound is considered to be 'inconclusive' (PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME = 3, PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE = 0). Assessment of fluorescent compound is made by comparing the influence of compound fluorescence on all the proteins in one well. Difference between Sample fluorescence and Negative Control fluorescence are calculated for all the different proteins in a well. The following equation describes this difference (CompoundFLinBfl-1) for Bfl-1;
CompoundFLinBfl-1 = Bfl-1SampleFL - NCntrlBfl-1FL
with Bfl-1SampleFL being the Sample fluorescence and NCntrlBfl-1FL the Positive Control fluorescence of Bfl-1 coated beads. Next, the coefficient of variation (CV) of all these CompoundFL from the different protein beads (Bfl-1, Bcl-XL, Bcl-2, Bcl-W, Bcl-B, Mcl-1,) in the same well are calculated. If the CV was less than 30%, meaning the compound attributed fluorescence was very similar between all the different proteins, then the compound was flagged as a potential fluorescent compound. In this set of 60,660 compounds, for Bfl-1 there are only 36 fluorescent compounds.
Due to potential systematic trends in data over the entire plate (whole plate trends), normalization is utilized to calculate the percent inhibition of the test compound. Whole plate trends of the negative controls are evaluated by linear regression. Then due to the plate location of a sample, a calculated Negative Control value (notated with LinFit) is utilized for calculating % inhibition normalized by whole plate:
% Inhibition = 100 x (LinFitNCntrl - SampleFL)/(LinFitNCntrl - BlockCntrl)
where all variables are Median Fluorescence Intensity associated with the bead set bound with a specific protein. SampleFL is for beads in wells containing test compound, LinFitNCntrl is the calculated value based on whole plate linear regression of wells without test compounds, and BlockCntrl is for measurement in presence 5 micromolar non-fluorescent Bim. Baseline of % Inhibition is 0%.
Maximum PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE of 100 was given for the primary screening and it corresponded directly with %Inhibition.
A compound was considered "Active" if the change in %Inhibition was greater than 40%. PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME is indicated as 2 for "Active" and 1 for "Non-active".
Average Z prime for the 190 plates tested was 0.70 +/- 0.09.

Bulletin is proud to announce that former New York Rangers stars Nick Fotiu and
Ron Greschner will be appearing at the "Beyond the Ice" Charity Hockey Event
benefiting Ice Hockey in Harlem on April 26, 2014 from 7 – 10PM at midtown's
Suite 36.
Both Fotiu and
Greschner will be participating in a live fan Q&A during the Blueshirt
Bulletin live podcast. VIP ticket holders will also have the opportunity to
take photos with the Rangers legends following the Q&A.
Fotiu, known for
his gritty enforcer-style of play, was the first Staten Island-native to play
for the Rangers. After beginning his career in the WHA with the New England
Whalers, Fotiu signed with the hometown Blueshirts in 1976. While the Hartford
Whalers took him during the 1979 Expansion Draft, Fotiu would return to New
York during the 1980 – 81 season where he would play until 1985. Always a fan
favorite for his acknowledgment of the "blue seats" and "New York-style" of
play, Fotiu remains involved with the organization, even appearing as an
assistant coach for the AHL Hartford Wolf Pack. Today, Fotiu continues to
contribute to the New York community with his "Nick Fotiu Foundation," which
benefits programs like the Garden of Dreams Foundation, police athletic
leagues, and food banks.
Greschner, spent
his entire 16-season career with the Rangers, being drafted No. 32 in the 1974 NHL
Amateur Draft. A gifted offensive defenseman, Greschner appeared in 982 career
NHL games, amassing 179 goals and 431 assists for 610 points along with 1,226
penalty minutes. Greschner was a key member of the Rangers Stanley Cup run
during the 1978 – 79 season, scoring 17 goals and 36 assists during the regular
season and adding another seven goals and five assists during the playoffs.
Today, Greschner is still a prominent face at MSG, interacting with fans and working
with his "Ron Greschner Foundation for Autism," that benefits autism research
and awareness. Greschner is also founder of "4 Beginnings of Green," an
eco-friendly company promoting sustainability "green initiatives" in industry.
