The lives of two Charles County residents were taken by a gunman who opened fire at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., on Monday.
Officials reported 13 fatalities and several injured.
Among the dead, The Washington Post reported Monday, was the suspected shooter, Aaron Alexis, 34, of Fort Worth, Texas. Alexis was reportedly a military contractor.
Kenneth Bernard Proctor, 46, of Waldorf and Sylvia Frasier, 53, of Waldorf were among the dead. Frank Kohler, 50, a Tall Timbers resident, also was killed in the shooting.
"We are struggling to come to grips with the situation," Proctor's sister, Julie Dyer, said.
Dyer said that Proctor was a supervisor at a chilled water plant at the base and had worked for the federal government for 23 years.
Dyer read a prepared statement over the phone Tuesday afternoon.
"Bernard was a wonderful father to his two sons," she said.
Proctor's sons are Kenneth Bernard Proctor Jr., 18, and Kendull Proctor, 15.
Dyer said that the older son has recently joined the U.S. Army.
Though he was recently divorced, Proctor had a "wonderful relationship" with his ex-wife, Evelyn Proctor, Dyer said.
"We will miss him tremendously. We will miss his smile that was so easily obtained. His laughter he gave so readily," Dyer read from the statement. "Our tears are selfish because our hearts are broken."
Proctor's Waldorf neighborhood was quiet Tuesday morning.
"I was blown away," said Dale Minson, Proctor's neighbor, of when another neighbor told her of Proctor's death.
Minson said that Proctor was a friendly neighbor who was always willing to help.
Minson said she attended La Plata High School with Proctor.
The Post reported that Frasier was a network security administrator with the Naval Sea Systems Command.
One of Frasier's sisters said that the family was working to process the situation and preparing a statement for the media, though it was not ready by press time.
The Charles County commissioners opened their weekly meeting Tuesday with a moment of silence in honor of Proctor and Frasier.

From selling meat to defending the country, the federal government shutdown has affected jobs and families in Charles County.
U.S. Census data from 2011 on the county website show that 35.2 percent of county workers are employed by all levels of government. There's no breakdown available of federal workers.
The data state that 3,158 people worked at Naval Support Facility Indian Head, but some of them are essential personnel and are not out of work as a result of the shutdown.
The U.S. Congress was unable to come to a deal to fund the federal government and effectively shut it down midnight Monday.
In the wake of the shutdown, federal agencies and the courts will have to decide what positions are considered essential and nonessential. Those deemed nonessential will be furloughed, which is basically an indefinite, unpaid vacation.
Those deemed essential will be asked to come to work; however, they will not be paid for the duration of the shutdown. Congress would decide whether they are paid after the fact.
David W. Hancock Jr., president of the Charles County Farm Bureau, said the shutdown will have an effect on area farmers, especially those who engage in direct retail. Hancock explained that right now the one area he sees as having an effect is with the small farmers who direct retail cuts of meat.
Hancock said the meat has to be processed through a U.S. Department of Agriculture-certified facility. A long shutdown, he said, could cause farmers not to be able to have their meats processed and inspected.
He said depending on how long the shutdown lasts, "the whole commercial meat industry could be drastically affected by [the shutdown]."
Hancock said additionally, many farmers in the area engage in direct retail and down the road, with many of their customers being government employees possibly unable to buy from the farmer.
"We'll feel it in our pocket," he said. "We hope our leaders get their act together and compromise on a deal that is beneficial to all American people."
All Naval Support Activity South Potomac public affairs staff members are affected by the shutdown, according to Gary Wagner, public affairs officer for NSASP, and will not be permitted to return to work until a budget or a continuing resolution is passed.
Police, fire and emergency medical protection will remain available, Wagner said in a statement. NSF Indian Head and Naval Support Facility Dahlgren will not close their gates.
"During a lapse, [Department of Defense] cannot pay the members of our military and our employees, even if they have been directed to work," Wagner said. "In the event of a lapse, all of our military personnel will be directed to continue in a normal duty status. Their employment contracts are such that they cannot be placed in nonpay status. Military service members would be paid retroactively once the lapse of appropriations ends."
Civilian employees, however, who support "excepted activities," such as military operations, emergency services "or other activities that support these efforts will be directed to continue working," Wagner said. Civilian employees who support "nonexcepted activities" have been placed on emergency furlough, and will be paid retroactively "only if a law is enacted providing authority to pay them."
Training and travel of all employees is disrupted unless the employee supports an "excepted activity." All employees supporting "nonexcepted activities" who are on travel must return to their command.
"Warfare Centers, as Defense Working Capital Funds, are exempt from the furlough, therefore Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division staff will continue under normal operations supporting customer orders, subject to the availability of sufficient fund balances," said Monica McCoy, public affairs officer for NSWC IHEODTD.
McCoy said that most of the workforce at NSWC IHEODTD "is reporting as normal." A working capital fund already is budgeted by the Department of Defense, and not affected by a government shutdown, she said.
Morale Welfare and Recreation facilities, such as child care centers, fitness centers and libraries will maintain normal operating hours, Wagner said, because employees at the facilities are paid by nonappropriated funds and not affected by the lack of a budget appropriation.
Employees at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Lexington Park faced similar strictures, according to base officials.
In a statement issued Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md., 5th) said he was "deeply disappointed" that Congress failed to reach an agreement to fund the government and prevent a shutdown.
"The Senate has passed a compromise funding measure, without partisan amendments, three times. Yet, House Republicans refuse to bring it to the Floor for a vote and have instead wasted time pursuing a partisan strategy to undermine the Affordable Care Act," Hoyer said according to the statement. "As a result, over 800,000 hardworking federal employees, including 62,000 men and women in my district, are facing furloughs, and Americans will see many important services significantly curtailed or interrupted."
Hoyer continued that the shutdown is harmful to the economy, national security, businesses and working families.
A separate press release from Hoyer's office states he is co-sponsoring the Federal Employee Retroactive Pay Fairness Act, which would allow all federal employees to receive retroactive pay for the duration of the shutdown, regardless of individual furlough status.
Federal employee pay is suspended in the event of a funding lapse or government shutdown, according to the press release. Retroactive payment for nonessential and essential employees must be approved through the legislative process by congress.
"It is unacceptable that Congress's failure to reach a responsible agreement to fund the government will force federal workers to stay home without pay rather than serve the American people," Hoyer said in the press release. "Our hardworking federal workforce … should not have to face furloughs. Like so many other Americans, they have mortgages to meet, college tuitions to pay, and families to support."
The lead co-sponsors are U.S. Reps. Jim Moran (D-Va.) and Frank Wolf (R-Va.), the release states, and they are joined by U.S. Reps. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Rob Wittman (R-Va.), John Sarbanes (D-Md.), Donna Edwards (D-Md.), Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), Scott Rigell (R-Va.) and John Delaney (D-Md.).
The state estimates each day of the shutdown could result in the loss of $15 million in economic activity and $5 million in tax revenue.
In a statement, Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) laid blame at the feet of congressional Republicans and said the shutdown will harm federal employees along with state businesses in the health, aerospace and defense sectors.
"In this year's Maryland budget, we worked with the General Assembly to set aside funds to lessen the impact of sequestration — another needless blow struck by Congress," O'Malley said in the statement. "We have flexibility on how to use these funds, and we're actively assessing all of our options so that we can minimize the harmful effects of prolonged Congressional recklessness on Maryland families and businesses."
In an email to all members of the Southern Maryland Realtors Association, SMAR Government Affairs Director Paula Martino wrote, "The bottom line on how this might affect real estate transactions is we expect minimal disruption. The Department of Housing and Urban Development has announced that the FHA Single Family Program will continue operations. [Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation] as Government Sponsored Entities will not be affected."
The email explained that the Office of Single Family Housing will endorse new loans under current multiyear appropriation authority. Tthe FHA Call Center and the National Servicing Center's Call Center will remain open.
Martino said in a phone interview that for the Rural Housing Program, those who already have received a conditional commitment are able to proceed and close on those loans during the shutdown.
Accokeek Foundation spokeswoman Anjela Barnes said that Piscataway Park, which houses the National Colonial Farm, which receives foundation support, was closed by the shutdown.
"The gates to Piscataway Park, including the National Colonial and Ecosystem Farms ... as well as all public access to the visitor facilities for recreation and programming has been closed," Barnes wrote in an email. "Further impacts of the shutdown include the cancellation of scheduled school tours, programs, and activities at the park. We have made arrangements to continue the distribution of the Ecosystem Farm [community supported agriculture produce distribution] at a nearby homeowner association's venue. Essential personnel are on site taking care of the park's resources including the livestock, farm crops, and site and building security."
Barnes wrote that a 15-student home-schooler group was denied a field trip Tuesday by the shutdown, and Washington Christian Academy and Clinton Christian Academy were warned that their scheduled tours later this week were jeopardized by the shutdown.
At the Thomas Stone National Historic Site on Tuesday morning, a park ranger who did not wish to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the press said the park's public facilities would close at noon.
The Port Tobacco park is one of the sites for the 43rd annual U.S. Police Canine Association field trials, a national competition that is scheduled to run until Oct. 4.
Charles County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Diane Richardson said Tuesday afternoon that the site closure would most likely not have an effect on the competition.
The park ranger declined to comment further.
"We're still recovering from the sequestration," said Rosemin Daya of Waldorf.
Daya said her husband works for the Department of Defense and as a nonessential employee is not working during the shutdown.
"We're recovering from the 20 percent cut and now this is no paycheck for who knows how long," she said.
She said while she works from home, her husband's job provides the main source of income for the family of five.
Daya said the family has an emergency fund to draw from but there still will be cutbacks such as no dining out and eliminating some weekend activities. She said the family is OK right now, but it is unclear how long the shutdown will last and how long her husband will be without pay.
In situation like this, Daya said one has to just cross their fingers and hope they have enough saved up to get them through.
This isn't the case, she said, for many people affected by the shutdown.
"[The shutdown] is going to make things difficult for a lot of people who are having a tough time," she said.
Staff writers Joel Davis, Sara Newman, Katie Fitzpatrick, Nicole Clark and Jeff Newman contributed to this report.

Thank you, i'll go try it...... Well, that didn't work, all I got was silence again. does anything go wrong from just sitting for almost 4 years or traveling 1100 miles on a truck? This thing is in brand new condition and was always kept inside. Got any ideas for my next step?
Pretty simple machine, Is your power correct?
Odd that your contactor is dropping out, thats why I'm thinking that you don't have a complete 230 Vac to run the unit.

Need to spend a few minutes with multi meter and determine if you have the right power at the outlet first, then hopscotch up the machine a wee bit. I would see if there is another outlet you can try the machine on first.

You should be checking for 240 volts across the two hot leads, not from each to ground. Check the power at the outlet first, then check inside the welder with it plugged in. With the welder turned on, also check the output side of the power switch. A poor electrical connection can still give you good voltage readings if there is no load, but the voltage will drop significantly after the poor connection when a load is connected.

06/19/06: Jello Art Contest Open Now!
Incredible late-breaking news for all our Bat-ical friends and felines out in interweb land! Jello Biafra's upcoming spoken word record, "In The Grip Of Official Treason," is being compiled right now. In fact, some of Jello's upcoming shows may end up on the new record!
But enough about recording, this exciting news is all about... the art!
Here's what Jello has to say!
"Yo! I am putting out a new spoken word this fall called, "In the Grip of Official Treason." Some of the subjects, as you might guess, are Fall of the Rome Under Bush, Iraqnophobia, Vote Fraud, comatose bribe-addled Democrats, Geometry teacher part II, the full "Ass Clowns in Toyland" (Ministry), new "Die For Oil, Sucker," etc.
Right now, I'm drawing a total blank on the art! Any ideas? Rough concepts or even found photos or old art is possible. I don't want anyone to go to too much work when the image might not be used. I've also talked to Winston Smith, John Yates and others about this, so we'll see what happens. I don't want any designs too reliant on Bush, Saddam, Condosleezza, etc., that will date the whole thing like an '80s Hardcore album with Regan on the cover. But if you feel inspired, deadline is July 4.
Peace + Sabotage, Jello Biafra"
Please e-mail all ideas/submissions to:email@example.com send them to: Alternative Tentacles Art Contest PO Box 419092 San Francisco, CA 94141 USA All mail submissions must be RECEIVED by Wednesday July 5th 10AM to be considered.
Good luck to everyone!
On my way home, to the next bus, a cop saw it and didn't find it funny. Officer Garcia, badge #0622, to be exact. Bike cop, looked like a total idiot with the helmet on. He demanded identification, so I handed over my license. The explanation of what I was doing (coming home from a day out, trying to catch the last bus, "see here's my transfer") didn't convince him as he just laughed it off. Finally I got pissed and demanded to know what was up. He asked me what my shirt meant. I said it was a movie.
Officer: "Yea? And is Mr. Cheney in it?" Me: "No." Officer: "So why is he on it?" Me: "He nearly dies every few weeks and some people think he's evil. It's a joke." Officer: "I don't find it to be a funny one." Me: "Yea I can tell by your line of questioning..." Officer: "Don't get smart! Don't resist!!!" Me: "I'm not. I'm standing here." [I was wearing flip-flops too] Officer: "If you want to resist, I have many little toys I can use to make you stop." [He really said all of this.] Me: "As I said I am standing here." Officer: "Well for now you're being detained for suspicious activity."
He writes shit down and calls in my license. But the funny part was, the guy on the other end had him repeat it many times because he couldn't understand the stooge. Finally he gets it. 10 minutes passes. He's embarrassed now, so he pushes my license back at me and pockets my transfer. This was right after the last bus #602 passed. He smirked at me and told me to get lost and that he'd come find me if he needed me. I said "good luck!" and walked off. Fucking fascist. So maybe you guys should notify future patrons that this shirt might get your on TIPS or TIA or some shit like that.
Just thought I'd share my story. Keep up the great work!!!
Henry Rollins and Jello Biafra at last Friday's incredibly fun and successful spoken word/art auction fundraiser for the West Memphis Three put on by Skeleton Key. Jello says it was the first time he and Henry have performed together!
The art will include the one-night debut of artwork by WM3 prisoner Damien Echols, plus art by many others, including Carol Queen, Jayne County, Jonathan Richman, Matt Skiba, Shepard Fairey, Firehouse Kustom Rockart, and Winston Smith.
Speaking will be Henry Rollins, Jello Biafra, Jonathan Richman, Matt Gonzalez , Penelope Houston and Jacob Pitts. Michale Graves and Jacob Pitts will be playing acoustic sets.
Don't miss this incredible once-in-a-lifetime event!
We are again getting reports of a Dead Kennedys song turning up in a truly putrid TV show behind Jello's back. This time, instead of "American Idol," it's "California Uber Alles" used by "The OC" But again, we need visual proof. The Dead Kennedys partnership is now run in Cheney-esque secrecy, so a simple inquiry to East Bay Ray seems useless.
Is the song used only in the UK's Channel 4 commercial, or have there been more like it? Thanks again for the crucial help in busting 'em on "American Idol," but if we can't prove an "OC" connection, we should let this one drop.
Thanx again, Biafra

"Nice quality!"

A Bladensburg man is standing trial a third time for a 2001 murder.
On Oct. 23 of that year, the defendant, Jeffrey Edward Allen, now 51, met the victim, John Butler, 32, during a night out in Washington, D.C., at an area at 5th and H streets known as "The Stroll" that homosexual men frequent. Butler took Allen back to his Port Tobacco home, where the two had consensual sex and fell asleep, according to Charles County Assistant State's Attorney John Stackhouse's opening statement during the trial Monday.
The next morning, Stackhouse said, a confrontation between the two men turned deadly. Allen stabbed Butler 19 times before stealing Butler's car, which he crashed at the intersection of routes 6 and 425. A Nanjemoy man, Walter Carter, found Allen bloody and shirtless on the side of the road and took him to the Ironsides Store, where Allen called police.
Twice now, a life sentence for the first-degree murder charge imposed by the jury has been overturned by the Court of Special Appeals. The other charges he was found guilty of, second-degree murder and robbery, still stand.
Following the first trial in 2002, the first-degree murder charge was overturned because of Judge Robert C. Nalley's error in jury instructions. The case was retried in 2008, and Allen was convicted once more. That conviction was overturned in 2010 on another jury instruction error.
Stackhouse warned Monday's jury that the testimony to unfold would get graphic, but that it was the only way to do justice for Butler.
"[Butler was] completely naked with multiple stab wounds" when police arrived at his home that morning 12 years ago, Stackhouse said. He also alluded to upcoming testimony from Charles County Sheriff's Office Cpl. John Burroughs that would say the officer "saw blood literally dripping down the walls" of Butler's home.
Before stabbing Butler, Stackhouse said, Allen had tried to talk the victim into giving him a ride back to the District and was told to just "chill out" and have a beer. Stackhouse said then, by Allen's own admission, he said he was going to "drive this [expletive] out of here" with Butler's keys in hand. Butler then allegedly came at Allen menacingly, and the two fought, Allen with a knife in hand. In the living room, after dropping the knife, Allen regained control and began stabbing.
Allen's defense attorney, Janet Hart, characterized his actions as not being taken out of malice but fear.
"He continued to swing the knife out of fear," Hart said in her opening statement. Hart also said Allen cooperated fully with the investigation at every stage, and he was a man reliant on Butler.
"[Allen] needed him to drive that stick shift and because [Butler] knew where they were," Hart said.
Hart said there was "no reason and no motive" for Allen to murder Butler.
Speaking on Monday evening, Charles County State's Attorney Anthony B. Covington (D) said the state's reasons for seeking a conviction a third time are relatively straightforward.
"Wouldn't you want someone who's been found guilty by 24 different people to be convicted?" Covington asked, noting that the appeals do not speak to Allen's guilt but rather procedural matters. "They can appeal until the cows come home, and that's what they're doing. We don't quit that easily, and I don't think the citizens of Charles County want us to."
As of Tuesday afternoon, the case still was being heard and was expected to continue into Wednesday.
An earlier version of this article quoted Charles County State's Attorney Anthony B. Covington as saying, "We can appeal until the cows come home." Covington said, "They can appeal until the cows come home."

Transcription factors are critical regulators of gene expression (1). Under conditions such as environmental stress and exposure to endogenous toxins, transcription factors can rapidly modulate the transcription of genes whose products regulate cell proliferation and metabolism. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor of the basic helix-loop-helix protein superfamily involved in the biological response to aromatic hydrocarbons, and regulates the expression of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes such as cytochrome P450, aldehyde dehydrogenase, quinone reductase, and other phase I and phase II detoxification genes (2, 3). In response to various compounds, including the environmental pollutants dioxins, benzo(a)pyrene, dietary contaminants, grapefruit juice, endogenous toxins, and plant products such as carotinoids, nicotine and caffeine (2, 4-6), cytosolic AHR complexes with chaperones hsp90, p23, and XAP2, translocates to the nucleus where it dimerizes with the AHR nuclear translocator (ARNT) to influence target gene transcription (7, 8). Gain-of-function studies in mice reveal the oncogenic potential of AHR (9), while other reports show roles for AHR in diverse biologic events such as organ development (10, 11), immune function and allergy (12), and estrogen responsiveness (13). The identification of agonists of AHR will provide useful tools to elucidate the roles of this receptor in cell metabolism, transcriptional control, and tumor formation (14-16).

Assay Overview:
The purpose of this assay is to determine the ability of test compounds to inhibit estrogen-dependent and/or -independent cell proliferation of human breast (T47D), ovarian (BG1) and liver (HepG2) cells in an AHR-dependent manner in vitro. Estrogen-responsive cells (T47D and BG1) are preincubated in 96-well culture plates with phenol red-free media containing charcoal-stripped serum for 5 days (to reduce endogenous estrogen levels) before use. Cells in 96-well culture plates grown in the presence (T47D and BG1) and absence (HepG2) of estradiol 17b and in the absence or presence of test compound for 7 - 10 days (TCDD is used as a positive control). Media is removed, the cells fixed and total cell biomass stained with sulforhodamine B, washed and absorbance at 490 nm determined. This assay provides a measure of total cell numbers over a wide range of cell numbers (33). Since proliferation of cancer cell growth can be regulated by multiple mechanisms (both hormone-dependent and independent) the assays here are designed to identify those AHR agonists that will also inhibit estrogen-dependent and -independent proliferation of these cancer cell lines, with the extent of inhibition directly related to the level of AHR activation. Comparison of the inhibition of proliferation by test compounds of T47D and BG1 cells grown in the absence or presence of estrogen will allow specific determination of AHR-dependent inhibition of proliferation that is estrogen-/estrogen receptor-dependent. Determination of the inhibition of proliferation of estrogen receptor-deficient HepG2 cells and of T47D and BG1 cells grown in the absence of estrogen, will allow specific determination of AHR-dependent inhibition of proliferation that is estrogen-/estrogen receptor-independent. Thus, multiple mechanisms of inhibition of cell proliferation will be assessed. Details of this assay protocol can be found in (Skehan et al., 1990; Vichai and Kirtikara, 2006; Papazisis et al., 1997) (Refs 17-19).
Protocol Summary:
1. Cells were harvested at 90% confluent by addition of 2 ml trypsin, counted and plated in 24-wells plates at 2,000 cells/well in alpha-MEM media containing 10% fetal bovine serum. For these studies, ER-positive (human breast cancer (MCF7)) and ER-negative (human hepatoma (HepG2)) cells were examined.
2. The plates were incubated at 37 C for 24 hour.
3. After 24 hours, the medium was changed and cells were treated with DMSO (1 ul/ml), TCDD (10 nM) or 10 uM of the test compounds and incubated for 8-10 days at 37 C. The effect of all chemicals were examined in at least triplicate incubations. During the incubation period, medium was changed and cells were re-dosed with chemical every 48 hours.
4. Following removal of media by aspiration, 250 ul of 10% cold (4 C) TCA were gently added to the wells.
5. Plates were incubated for 30 min at 4 C, then washed 5 times with deionized water and left to dry at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
6. Cells were stained by the addition and incubation (20 min) with 250 ul of SRB dissolved in 1% acetic acid.
7. Unbound dye was removed by washing with 1% acetic acid five times.
8. Bound dye was solubilized with 150 ul of unbuffered Tris base (10 mM, pH 10.5) for 10 min on a shaker.
9. Finally, an aliquot (130 ul) of the Tris buffer containing SRB dye was transferred to a 96-well plate. The total absorbance at 490 nm was determined, and specific absorbance determined after subtraction of background absorbance (i.e., absorbance at 650 nm). Results are presented as a percent of proliferation (absorbance) of cells exposed to DMSO, with negative values representing inhibition and positive values representing enhancement of proliferation.
PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:
Compounds that induced a change in binding activity less than 20% were considered inactive. Compounds wthat induced a change in binding activity equal to or greater than 20% were considered active.
The reported PubChem Activity Score has been normalized to 100% absolute value of observed % max response.
The PubChem Activity Score range for active compounds is 100-20. There are no inactive compounds.
This assay was run by the assay provider. Possible artifacts of this assay can include, but are not limited to: dust or lint located in or on wells of the plate, compounds that modulate cell growth and/or well absorbance. All test compound concentrations reported above and below are nominal; the specific test concentration(s) for a particular compound may vary based upon the actual sample provided.

1 (10.75 ounce) can
Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup (regular or 98% Fat Free)
1 1/3 cups
3/4 cup
uncooked regular long-grain white rice
2 cups
fresh or frozen vegetables
1/2 teaspoon
onion powder
skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup
shredded Cheddar cheese
This recipe has become a staple at our house, only I use skim milk instead of the water and whole grain instant brown rice. I also cut up the chicken into cubes and brown slightly before adding to the baking dish. The mexican blend shredded cheese works great even if you don't like the chili powder in it. One other helpful hint is to mix the soup and milk together and add the rice, then pour over chicken in casserole dish.
This recipe was easy, but the rice was not done in 45 minutes - I had to put it back in for another 20 minutes. I'd advise cooking for an hour covered. I added extra seasoning - onion & garlic powders, pepper, paprika - and it was still a bit bland. Also, not so great reheated for leftovers - rice and chicken dried out.

Great, easy recipe. I use chicken broth instead of water for added flavor. Plus, I don't usually keep onion powder on hand, so I use a seasoning blend like Emeril's or Montreal seasoning. Whatever I'm in the mood for. My family loves this one.
I made this using Cream of Chicken with Herbs so it took care of seasoning the chicken (which I think is a critical part of this recipe that many overlook based on comments). I used chicken broth instead of water and I cut the chicken into large chunks and mixed it into the soup mixture rather than laying whole breasts out on top. I did not add salt and don't think anyone needs to given the amount of salt in the condensed soup. I greased the bottom of the pan a bit with some butter then threw in the fresh green beans and mushrooms (my choice for this dish). Then I poured the soup mixture in. Prior to cooking, I topped it with a sprinkling of garlic powder, a little bit of shredded cheddar, parmesan and bacon bits. Cooked for the 45 min. and everything was nicely cooked. YUM!!
My husband actually made this, and he does not like to cook. It turned out GREAT. We added fresh broccoli and canned corn for the veggies. Instead of the cream of chicken soup, we put in broccoli cheese soup. He also added two cubes of chicken boullion to the water. It was sooo tasty!
This is a very tasty dish that takes only a few minutes to throw together and pop in the oven. It's perfect when you come home from a long day and don't feel like slaving away in the kitchen, but still want a homemade meal.
I was all out of onion powder, so I substituted garlic powder instead which added a nice flavor. I also used long-grain brown rice instead of white to make it even healthier.
I'll definitely be making this recipe again and again.
We all liked this. I made the "italian" version because some reviews said the original recipe lacked flavour. I used homemade chicken stock in place of the water and the local grocery store was out of plain cream of chicken soup so we used cream of chicken and white wine. We did not find it bland at all. Will make this again but will part boil the rice first. This time the rice didn't cook fully, even after an hour of cooking and me adding extra liquid during cooking. Also I will cube the chicken breast and mix it in with the rice & soup to cook.
Ok, so it's not gourmet and I resorted to this because I was simply NOT going to stand over a hot stove tonight. But it's full of veggies and lean protein, clean up is minimal, and all I had to do was pull it out of the oven and plop it on the table. This will not go down in the hall of fame for great meals I've prepared but it did its duty. I used chicken broth instead of water, threw in a big dollop of sour cream, and topped with bread crumbs instead of cheese. So the family was not pouring on the compliments but I have to admit that our table has probably not seen the last of this easy weeknight meal.

PureYield™ Plasmid Midiprep System was used to isolate large plasmid DNA from P. damnosus using five modified protocol steps. The eluted DNA was of high purity and could be used in downstream applications like cloning.
Sarah Wegmüller and Sergio Schmid
Pediococcus damnosus is a lactic acid bacterium often found in wine and beer. It produces the antimicrobial peptide pediocin PD-1, which is active against several lactic acid bacteria(1)
. P. damnosus contains several plasmids, some of which are more than 50kb and of various copy numbers. Our goal was to isolate one of the 50kb plasmids.
Several factors complicate plasmid DNA isolation from P. damnosus. Firstly, it is a Gram-positive bacterium with a different cell wall composition than E. coli, for which most plasmid extraction protocols were established. However, this can easily be overcome by performing a 30- to 60-minute pretreatment with lysozyme to degrade the thick peptidoglycan layer of the cell wall (2)
. Secondly, P. damnosus is grown in de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) broth with Tween® 80 (Biolife, Italy, Cat.# 401729) at low pH rather than in Luria-Bertaini broth, which also could influence DNA isolation. Finally, P. damnosus contains several low-copy-number plasmids larger than 50kb, which have a tendency to change conformation or disappear completely, depending on the treatment.
Previous trials in our lab to isolate the plasmid using various miniprep protocols and kits failed to provide sufficient yield (Figure 1, Panel A). Attempts to pool and concentrate the samples via vacuum centrifugation (Centrivap Concentrator; Labconco, USA) led to a change in conformation of the large plasmids and retention of DNA in the wells of the agarose gel. Alternatively, DNA was lost during ethanol precipitation. When using column-based midiprep kits, the columns of the kit were clogged, causing the eluted DNA to run as a smear instead of distinct bands on the agarose gel, and much of the DNA remained in the wells (Figure 1, Panel B).
All samples were run on an ethidium bromide-stained agarose gel (approximately 0.9%). Panel A. Lane M, marker; lanes 1 and 2, 20µl of DNA isolated by miniprep (2 separate preps). Panel B. Lane 1, 20µl of DNA isolated by midiprep; lane M, marker. Marker: GeneRuler™ 1kb DNA Ladder (Fermentas).
The purification protocol was established for P. damnosus DSM20331 using the Universal 32R centrifuge (Hettich, Germany) with a gmax of 3,857 and a swinging bucket rotor. Therefore, all centrifugation steps were performed at room temperature at 3,857 × g instead of 5,000 × g, as recommended. The DNA Purification by Vacuum protocol described in the PureYield™ Plasmid Midiprep System Technical Manual #TM253 (3)
, was used with modifications to the following steps:
Modified Step 1. Grow a 50ml culture of P. damnosus in MRS broth with Tween® 80 (pH 5.2 at 30°C; Biolife, Italy, Cat.# 401729). Grow for 2–3 days (at 30°C with shaking at 150rpm) to an O.D.600 of 1.5–2 (a higher O.D. leads to clogging of the PureYield™ Columns).
Modified Step 3. Resuspend cell pellets in 3ml of Cell Resuspension Solution. Add 50µl of lysozyme (200mg/ml, AppliChem, Germany), and incubate at 37°C for 30–60 minutes.
Modified Step 5. Add 5ml of Neutralization Solution to the lysed cells, cap the tube and mix by gently inverting the tube 3–5 times. Allow the lysate to sit for 2–3 minutes in an upright position to allow a white flocculent precipitate to form. It is important to wait for the precipitate to form to ensure thorough lysate clearing. Note: To ensure complete passage of the lysate through the PureYield™ Clearing Column and quick passage of the lysate and subsequent wash solutions through the PureYield™ Binding Column, centrifuge the lysate for 10 minutes before carefully applying the supernatant to the Clearing Column.
Modified Step 13. Remove the PureYield™ Binding Column from the vacuum manifold. Tap the tip of the column on a paper towel to remove excess ethanol. Wipe any excess ethanol from the outside of the tube.
Modified Step 14. Elute the plasmid DNA in 400µl of Nuclease-Free Water using the Eluator™ Vacuum Elution Device (Cat.# A1071) and following Steps 15–18 of the Elute by Vacuum protocol in the PureYield™ Plasmid Midiprep System Technical Manual #TM253 (3)
. The lower elution volume results in a more concentrated sample.
In a first attempt to isolate P. damnosus plasmid DNA, the DNA Purification by Quick Combination Method in the PureYield™ Plasmid Midiprep System Technical Manual #TM253 (3)
was followed using the Universal 32R centrifuge. Steps 1 and 3 were modified as described above to grow the P. damnosus cells at optimal conditions and perform a preincubation step with lysozyme. The lysate only partially passed through the Clearing Column, and the flowthrough remained turbid. Furthermore, elution by centrifugation was a complete failure. Only after adding 600µl of Nuclease-Free Water to the column, heating the column and the water together at 60°C for 5 minutes and centrifuging at maximum speed (3,857 × g) for 10 minutes could 80µl (approximately 5µg yield) of pure plasmid DNA, which did not smear on the agarose gel, be recovered.
Since it was clear that the centrifuge was not powerful enough, the DNA Purification by Vacuum protocol in the PureYield™ Plasmid Midiprep System Technical Manual #TM253 (3)
was performed using the Eluator™ Vacuum Elution Device for elution to increase plasmid DNA yield. Using the Eluator™ Vacuum Elution Device resulted in an almost complete recovery of the Nuclease-Free Water and thus a much higher yield of approximately 22µg at a concentration of approximately 60ng/µl. In addition, the plasmid bands can be distinguished clearly on the agarose gel, and only a small amount remained in the wells (Figure 2).
All samples were run on an ethidium bromide-stained agarose gel (approximately 0.9%). Lane M, marker; lane 1, 1µl of eluted DNA; lane 2, 20µl of eluted DNA. Elution volume: 400µl. Marker: GeneRuler™ 1kb DNA Ladder (Fermentas).
Further attempts to increase plasmid DNA yield and concentration by either increasing the culture volume to 100ml or by increasing the O.D.600 of the cells led to clogging of the PureYield™ Columns and a reduction in yield.
The yield and concentration of plasmid DNA obtained from P. damnosus using the PureYield™ Plasmid Midiprep System and the protocol described here may not match those from E. coli, but the isolated plasmid DNA is of high purity and sufficient for subsequent cloning experiments. Using this Gram-positive bacterium, we were able to isolate 22µg of DNA from a 50ml culture.

Softball Defeated by UNC Wilmington, 6-4, in Finale of Three-Game Set
Sunday, April 21, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Apr. 21, 2002) -- The UNC Wilmington softball team defeated East Tennessee State, 6-4, Sunday afternoon from Metro-Kiwanis Park in Johnson City, Tenn. to win two of three games in the weekend Southern Conference series. The Bucs (20-26, 8-10 Southern Conference) opened the game quickly, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first. Sophomore pitcher Tiffany Vandergriff (Sale Creek, Tenn.) led off the inning with a single to left field. Freshman center fielder Danielle Spetar (Knoxville, Tenn.) followed with a bunt single to place runners on first and second. With one out, senior designated player Melanie Collins (Greeneville, Tenn) came to the plate and belted a ball off of the left-center field fence, scoring both runners with a stand-up double. Following the double by Collins, Seahawk starter Amanda Wilson regained her composure and held the Buccaneers scoreless for the next five innings. UNC Wilmington (19-27, 6-11 SoCon) came right back and tied the game at two in the top of the second. With one out in the inning, first baseman Chrissy Freaney singled to left field. Designated player Jamie Gostyla followed Freaney with another single to left field. Following a passed ball, Freaney and Gostyla would cross the plate on a single by third baseman Christy Ross. The Seahawks got back on the board in the top of the sixth as they took a 3-2 lead. Catcher Lauren Mattox led the inning off with a triple to right field. Ashley Niggebrugge came on to pinch-run for Mattox and scored on a double by Freaney. UNCW expanded their lead to 6-2 after scoring three more runs in the top of the seventh. Second baseman April Owens reached on an error to begin the inning. Left fielder Christina Elmore then reached on a fielder's choice as Owens advanced to second on another error. The two runners advanced into scoring position on a groundout before outfielder Summer Chriscoe struck out, but reached first on a passed ball, scoring Owens. Mattox then walked and came home with Chriscoe on a two-run single by right fielder Tiffany Lindemann. The Bucs made things interesting in the bottom of the seventh. Freshman outfielder Amy Moore (Jacksonville, Fla.) led off the inning by reaching on an error. With two outs, Spetar came to the plate and crushed a ball over the left-center fence to cut the lead to two, but that was as close as the Bucs could cut it. Wilson picked up the win (6-7), going the distance, allowing two earned runs on six hits. Vandergriff also pitched a complete game, but took the loss (5-8), allowing three earned runs on ten hits, striking out four. Spetar and sophomore first baseman Miranda Byerly (Candler, N.C.) led the Bucs with two hits each. Spetar led the team with two runs scored and two RBI. Freaney went 3-4 with a run scored and an RBI for the Seahawks. Lindemann and Ross each registered two RBI in the game. East Tennessee State returns to action on Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. as they face Radford in a non-conference doubleheader from Metro-Kiwanis Park in Johnson City, Tenn.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 8, 2011) - The ETSU baseball team defeated Furman 4-2 Tuesday night at Cardinal Park as the Bucs improved to 7-2 on the season.
Sophomore Derek Bushey (Richmond, Va.) earned his first win of the season with his second straight quality start. Bushey limited the Paladins (6-7) to one run scattering five hits while striking out six.
Junior Bo Reeder (Cookeville, Tenn.) and left fielder John Long (Anderson, S.C.) led the way offensively for ETSU. Reeder was 2-for-4 with a double, and scored two runs, while Long was 3-for-4 with an RBI and scored a run.
Derek Trent (Kingsport, Tenn.) put the Bucs in front 1-0 in the bottom of the first as he drove in Reeder from second on a single down the first base line. In the next at bat, Long gave ETSU a 2-0 edge as he singled up the middle scoring designated hitter Dylan Pratt (Johnson City, Tenn.).
The Paladins cut the lead to 2-1 in the top of the third after triple by Rob Fondu and a sacrifice fly to center by Will Owens.
In the top of the fourth, Reeder and first baseman Paul Hoilman (Johnson City, Tenn.) came up with back-to-back doubles to give the Buccaneers a 3-1 lead. Hoilman's double was his 64th of his career as he surpassed Caleb Moore for the ETSU career doubles record.
The Bucs added another run in the fifth inning as second baseman Alex Reynolds (Johnson City, Tenn.) singled to left center scoring Long from second to put ETSU in front 4-1.
Furman got a run back in the seventh though as Hunter Burton doubled in Alex Abrams to cut the Buccaneer lead to 4-2.
The ETSU bullpen would hold on though as Reeder picked up his fourth save of the season after striking out the side in the ninth to close out the game.
The Bucs head to Jacksonville, Fla. this weekend for a conference series with North Florida. For more information on ETSU baseball and all other Buccaneer athletic news please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

Arguably, no presidential campaign in the past 30 years has dawned with voters as singularly focused on a single issue as they are this year. In the aftermath of a debilitating financial crisis and amid a feeble and halting recovery from recession, polls show that voters want economic growth and more jobs. President Obama and Mitt Romney are offering dramatically different paths to those ends—in philosophy and in the fine print of policy; in the targets of their campaign-trail attacks; and even in what they're not saying about the nation's most pressing economic problems.
This all-about-the-economy election has given Obama and his Republican challenger no shortage of topics to argue about. They include economic fairness; the federal budget deficit; the president's understanding of America's free-enterprise system and what makes it exceptional; the importance of the effective income-tax rate for Warren Buffett's secretary; the macroeconomic merits of the private-equity business model; spending cuts; tax cuts; tax hikes; regulatory burdens; investments in education, infrastructure, and technology; the plight of the middle class; the effects of the 2009 stimulus package; the growing gap between the rich and poor; and Greece.
Not included, though, is a detailed debate over how to get millions of unemployed Americans back to work right away. Each candidate has a reason for soft-pedaling when it comes to delivering fast-acting comfort to the 13 million in the United States who are looking for a job and can't find one and who will spend an average of 40 weeks on the unemployment rolls before they return to work. Romney's reason for avoiding this question is very different than Obama's, a reality that reflects the candidates' divide in economic thinking.
Romney's economic philosophy begins with the classic conservative notion that intrusive government has stifled the free market. Obama's starts with the liberal notion that government can and must play a critical role in nurturing innovation and vital industries. Each camp lays out medium- and long-term strategies for improving America's economic fundamentals and coaxing growth and job-creation back up to speed. In the short term, neither has a lot to offer. Obama has no FDR-style public-works program to employ millions of people. Romney has no plans to impose dramatic and immediate austerity—nothing on par with the proposals offered by the most conservative members of Congress, or even British Prime Minister David Cameron—to squash market fears and unleash business confidence and hiring.
This is by design. Romney's 160-page economic plan leads off with the assertion that Washington has weakened the United States' long-term growth prospects through its efforts to create jobs in the crisis's aftermath. As his lead economic adviser, Columbia Business School Dean R. Glenn Hubbard, writes in the introduction, "In the first conversation I had with Governor Mitt Romney in the post-crisis period, he asked me why policymakers were not more focused on the seeds of the crisis and on the need to build a foundation for long-term growth. With the mantras of fiscal stimulus and easy money being repeated in Washington, his question seemed spot-on to me. Could we change the conversation from policies contributing to the long-term growth of government to policies contributing to the long-term growth of the economy?"
Obama, by contrast, is struggling with voters' widespread belief that his short-term economic efforts have failed, and with political realities that largely preclude further steps in the same direction. He eagerly nudges voters toward the perception that the national economy is improving. Congress has ignored the president's few recent proposals to stimulate consumer spending or business investment, including deepening the temporary reduction in payroll-tax rates and upping national infrastructure spending by several hundred billion dollars.
So Obama has fallen back to campaigning on a series of small-scale, poll-popular initiatives such as boosting manufacturing exports, forcing millionaires to pay higher tax rates, and developing an economy that is "built to last." He and his top economic advisers have increasingly turned their rhetoric and policy attention to the growing gap between the wealthiest Americans and everyone else.
As Alan Krueger, the chairman of Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, said in a speech earlier this year, "The rise in inequality in the United States over the last three decades has reached the point that inequality in incomes is causing an unhealthy division in opportunities and is a threat to our economic growth. Restoring a greater degree of fairness to the U.S. job market would be good for businesses, good for the economy, and good for the country."
Complicating any comparison between Obama and Romney is the sheer diversity of economic policies that each candidate has championed in the past, and the question of which ones he would pursue in the future.

I recently purchased a used spectrum 300. It works great. One problem, the torch is held together with tape. I have seen the prices of the miller torches for these, and to be honest I can not justify spending a few hundred bucks for a torch when I paid less than a hundred for the cutter.
Will a generic torch work on this? I see several on fleabay.
Thanks for any input.
