"Pink is the new power color in New Hampshire."
-- U.S. Rep.-Elect
Ann McLaine Kuster
While Foster's Daily Democrat did not endorse the election of some of New Hampshire's recently minted all-female congressional delegation, we look forward to following their progress in Washington, and in the Statehouse with incoming Gov. Maggie Hassan.
For those of post-World War II generations, it has taken too long for those of the opposite sex to be recognized for their skills and talents.
As the war enveloped the nation, Rosie the Riveters from coast to coast filled the void in factories as men when went off to fight. Unfortunately, when husbands, brothers and uncles returned home, the women in their lives were expected to return to the kitchen.
Today much has changed to the good, as witnessed by the country's first all-female congressional delegation.
This does not mean much progress is yet made.
It was a point made by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen during a recent forum held at St. Anselm College in Manchester. The meeting celebrated the state's all-female congressional delegation, according to the Union Leader newspaper, and the fact that women now hold leadership positions in all three branches of state government — as governor-elect, Speaker of the House and chief justice of the state Supreme Court.
Shaheen reminded those attending that equality remains elusive. "Even though we've elected a number of women in New Hampshire to lead the state, the fact is doors are still not open for all women, and part of what we've got to do is make sure the doors are open for all women, for everybody, so people have the same access to opportunity in New Hampshire and the country."
Even when the full delegation is seated in January and Hassan sworn in, the United States will most likely still rank 69th or thereabouts among countries with the highest percentage of women in government.
It is a trend all too pervasive outside of government, as Shaheen implied.
In corporate boardrooms, women make up 3 percent of CEOs and occupy around 16 percent board seats (up 0.5 percent from 2009) at the nation's Fortune 500 companies, and 15.2 percent of the directors at the largest companies are women, according to Linda Tarr-Whelan, author of "Women Lead the Way."
As reported by The New York Times, science professors at American universities widely regard female undergraduates as less competent than male students with the same accomplishments and skills, a new study by researchers at Yale University concluded.
And in the U.S. military, women are still technically prohibited from combat, despite sitting at the controls of multimillion dollar fighters and having given their lives in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Of course, the election of an all-woman delegation cannot be expected to change things overnight. Additionally, Sen. Kelly Ayotte, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter and U.S. Rep. Ann McLane Kuster were not elected solely based on women's issues, although polls indicate that may have played a part.
But the balance this group will bring, especially to the traditional male bastion of Washington, D.C., is something to which we look forward.

Melanie Griffith heading to Hawaii to play Caan's mum
The Working Girl star tells WENN Caan approached her personally and asked her to consider playing his character's mother on the show, and she's hoping the role becomes a recurring one.
She says, "I did a play with him (Caan) last summer and he's so cool. I adore him."
The TV gig could not have come at a better time for Griffith, who admits she's struggling to find work in her 50s.
She adds, "I don't get offered a lot of movies. I just thought what would never happen when I was in my twenties and thirties hearing actresses b**ch about how they didn't get any work when they were 50, and now I understand it. Hollywood in a lot of ways is a very superficial place. For women it's all about youth and beauty.
"I don't even go to the movies these days because there's nothing to see. The big movies are all cartoons or superheroes. My husband has written a script for me but he's very busy. He's got a lot to do; he is Puss n' Boots, you know!"
Griffith is married to Spanish actor Antonio Banderas.

Record-Setting Senior Goalie Adds another Award
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Senior goalie Jackee Snikeris (Downingtown, Pa.) added another accolade on Wednesday, as she was named to the 2010-11 New England Hockey Writers All-Star Team. Snikeris, who was also Kazmaier Award nominee, ECAC Hockey's Student-Athlete of the Year, ECAC Hockey Goalie of the Year, first team All-ECAC Hockey, and first team All-Ivy League, is the first Bulldog to earn All-New England honors since Helen Resor '09 in 2006-07. She and the other all-stars will be honored at a banquet on Wednesday, Apr. 13 at the Prince Restaurant in Saugus, Mass.
Snikeris posted some of the most remarkable numbers of her stellar career this past season, highlighted by her .941 save percentage that placed her seventh in the country. That figure set the school record in that category, and gives her four of the top eight single-season save percentage marks in Yale history. Her 1.98 goals-against average this season ranks third, trailing only her own 1.67 mark from 2008-09 and the 1.978 mark posted by June Mendoza '80 in 1978-79. Snikeris has four of the top seven single-season goals-against averages in Yale history.
Snikeris had three shutouts this season, all in ECAC Hockey games. She extended her school career record in that category to 16 -- four more than any other player. She also finished her career with a save percentage of .931, breaking the school record in that category (.915, Sarah Love '06) by 16 points. She had a career goals-against average of 2.12, breaking the school record in that category (2.61, Shivon Zilis '08) by nearly half a goal. Her 2,092 career saves place her fifth on Yale's all-time list.
Snikeris played her best down the stretch, as Yale vied for an ECAC Hockey playoff spot despite missing two key defensemen due to season-ending injuries. She had three shutouts in her final seven games, stopping 202 out of 211 shots in that span for a .957 save percentage and a 1.27 goals-against average. She made 32 or more saves four times in those seven games. Her season was also highlighted by a career-best 49-save effort Jan. 3 against Boston College.
Snikeris accomplished it all while playing through an injury, suffered in the third game of the year, that cost her seven games.
Prior to coming to Yale Snikeris graduated cum laude from the Taft School, where she was a two-time captain of the ice hockey team and won the school's Patsy K. Odden Award for leadership and sportsmanship. She also played for the Connecticut Polar Bears, earning Easton Skills Overall Best Goaltender and winning the Breakaway competition at 2007 US Nationals.

Wednesday's verdict absolving concert promoter AEG Live of responsibility for Michael Jackson's untimely death in 2009 while preparing for what was to be a major career comeback raises the question of whether the spotlight will ever return to the superstar's musical legacy, one that yielded, among many other achievements, "Thriller," the biggest selling album by a solo artist in history.
Will Jackson's legacy be inextricably intertwined with the sad and often tawdry details of his personal life after his star went into decline, and the seemingly endless legal battles related to his death? Or will Jackson ultimately be remembered more for "Thriller" and "Billie Jean" instead of courtroom dramas and plastic surgery?
MICHAEL JACKSON: Complete trial coverage
Here's a look at how seven other pop music superstars who died young have fared over time.
Billie Holiday: The preeminent jazz singer channeled personal demons into recordings of visceral pain and transcendent beauty while battling heroin addiction, which was all too common among jazz musicians of her era. The substance abuse is still a crucial facet of her life story, but the music she left behind is why we remain interested in her.
Jimi Hendrix: The rock guitar god reinvented the instrument to such an extent that admirers — even peers as celebrated as Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck — still express their awe of what he did before he died in 1970 of asphyxiation. His drug use both fueled and hampered his musical innovations, but more than four decades after his death he's remembered far more for his instrumental wizardry than his substance abuse.
Jim Morrison: The Doors' singer and main lyricist battled drug and alcohol addiction before his death of heart failure at 27 in 1971. He was dogged at the end of his life by a Florida conviction for indecent exposure and public intoxication — a debacle that at least in part prompted his move from the U.S. to Paris — and decades after he died, his name was central to legal wranglings among his former bandmates over use of the group's music for commercial purposes. Today he's widely regarded as perhaps the quintessential antihero of the '60s rock scene for the dark edge his words brought to the band's music. It also helped tilt the world's view of Morrison that he and the band were lionized by filmmaker Oliver Stone, both in Stone's prominent placement of Doors' music in his 1986 film about the Vietnam War, "Platoon," as well as the 1991 biopic "The Doors."
PHOTOS: Notable deaths of 2013
John Lennon: The "smart Beatle" had his downs along with many ups before Mark David Chapman gunned him down outside his apartment in New York in 1980, at age 40. He went through a much publicized, endlessly analyzed "lost weekend" of debauchery in Los Angeles during his separation from Yoko Ono in the mid-1970s, but they reconciled and had a son, Sean Ono Lennon, who reignited much of Lennon's zest for life before his death. Still, Lennon's reputation rests with the songs he created with the Beatles and during his solo years, and his endearing wit, rather than his all-too-human transgressions.
Kurt Cobain: With Nirvana, Cobain ushered in a new age of rock — grunge — in the early 1990s that brought both new vitality and a hardened punk skepticism into the mainstream with the breakthrough hit "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Cobain, however, was unable to reconcile the pressures and demands that came with the group's fame and fortune, and still stands as one of pop's tragic figures for whatever demons drove him to commit suicide at age 27 in 1994.
Amy Winehouse: England's neo-soul singer impressed audiences and critics with her vocal chops, but often appeared to be a disaster waiting to happen in terms of her off-stage life. Winehouse's blatant refusal to seek treatment resulted in a powerful pop hit with her single "Rehab" — "They tried to make be go to rehab, but I said 'No, no, no'" — but ultimately brought her life and career to a screeching halt in 2011 when she overdosed. Two years later the music, thanks to additional material released posthumously, has raised her standing as a massively talented singer above the tabloid headlines she generated during her brief time in the spotlight.
Whitney Houston: Pop-R&B darling Whitney Houston really did seem to have the "Greatest Love Of All" from both fans and the music industry when she emerged in the 1980s with a magnificent set of pipes she applied to towering ballads and inviting dance-floor hits. But drug abuse plagued her life, and interrupted her career to such an extent in the years before she died in 2012 that while much of the world was shocked upon her death, many were not surprised. It's too soon to measure how she'll be viewed through the lens of history, but it's unlikely that the tragic circumstances of her death will ever disappear completely.

4-H banquet hits 50
The annual 4-H Adviser and Junior Leader Recognition Banquet not only hit a 50-year milestone, but members also recognized a mother and daughter with two major achievements for all their hard work and involvement in the 4-H program.
The 50th annual 4-H recognition banquet recognized two outstanding 4-H youth on Monday night — Bridget Wessel and Paige Klopfenstein. Wessel's mother, Chris Wessel, also was recognized as Outstanding 4-H Adviser and Todd Schaub was recognized as Friend of 4-H Award.
Their involvement in the 4-H organization has shown leadership and hard work, and The Ohio State University Extension 4-H Youth Development Director Beth Miller said the award recipients are "awesome."
"They are awesome, and I couldn't do it without them," Miller said.
Paige, who is a senior at Wapakoneta High School, said being a member of her 4-H club, Star Spangled Clovers, has taught her much during the past 12 years of her involvement in the program.
"It taught me really good work ethics — that's for sure," Paige said. "4-H has left me with a thirst for knowledge."
The daughter of Jann and Tim Klopfenstein plans to attend either The Ohio State University or Case Western University to study biology in order to enter medical school.
While she nears the end of her 4-H career, she said there is a lot she will miss about 4-H.
"I will miss the people I meet and new experiences," Paige said. "4-H always has something new for us."
Paige said she felt good, excited and surprised after receiving one of the 2011 Outstanding 4-H Youth awards.
"I'm always putting my best foot forward and trying to make what was best, better," Paige said.
Bridget, who has been a member in the 4-H organization for 11 years, has a love for horses, which sparked her interest to join when she was in elementary school.
"I was involved in 4-H ever since I was little," Bridget said. "My brothers were in 4-H."
Her passion for riding horses led her to join 4-H, because she wanted to do more with the horses than just ride them, she wanted to show them.
The daughter of Chris and Clyde Wessel participates as a member of the Horse and Pony Pioneers. The 2011 graduate of New Knoxville High School noted this summer she will be participating in her last Auglaize County Fair, and she said she will miss it greatly but is hoping to continue in the program an adviser.
"After this year, I won't be on the Junior Fair Board, I won't be able to show, and I won't be a camp counselor," Bridget said of the things she will miss after this year.
The president of her 4-H club and vice president on the Junior Fair Board said she was surprised when she heard Miller announce her name as one of the Outstanding 4-H Youth.
"I do things and I don't expect to be recognized," Bridget said. "This means a lot to me."
Bridget plans to attend Lamar Community College in Lamar, Colo., in the fall to study horse training and management.
Bridget's mother, Chris, was also recognized as the 2011 Outstanding 4-H Adviser.
Wessel served as the adviser for Horse and Pony Pioneer for eight years, although she said her involvement in 4-H started when her oldest child, who is now 26, was a member of the organization when she was younger.
"I've been a 4-H adviser for eight years, but I've been involved with it for longer than that," Wessel said. "I helped out a lot, and they asked me to do it. I was helping the previous adviser."
Before she knew it, Wessel was the adviser of the 4-H club she had been helping out with.
Wessel's eyes welled up with tears when Miller read her name for the achievement award.
"I had no idea," Wessel said of the recognition. "She (Miller) does very good at covering things up."
Wessel, who was still in shock after the banquet, said she was honored. Her goal as a 4-H adviser is to create leaders out of her club members.
"It's fun to see the kids progress," Chris said. "My favorite is seeing the kids take charge and grow."
4-H organization supporter Todd Schaub was recognized as 2011 Friend of 4-H Award.
Miller said that Schaub was recommended because he has been a huge supporter of the 4-H program.
"As he took the helm of the family business, he made a personal commitment to stay involved in his community and support our youth," Miller said of Schaub. "It is through his belief in our program, that he has stayed active in the Junior Fair Livestock sale and expanded his support into the Ohio State Fair Sale of Champions."
"This really made me feel honored," Schaub said of the award.
Schaub, along with the other three award recipients, said he was surprised when his name was announced.
"I'm tickled pink," Schaub said.

Last week the city council approved the annexation of the BTI John Deere dealership property. The unanimous vote was the final step in a multi-year process that passed the "handshake deal" across the desk of five city administrators.
Last week the city council approved the annexation of the BTI John Deere dealership property. The unanimous vote was the final step in a multi-year process that passed the "handshake deal" across the desk of five city administrators.
The city has annexed the BTI Dealership and some surrounding land legally described as "the east half if [sic] the southeast quarter of section 15, township 28 south, range 18 west of the sixth principal meridian, Kiowa County, Kansas."
The annexation follows the recent re-approval by city officials of a $103,500 payment to BTI for costs associated with construction of a south running sewer line connecting BTI and the Greensburg Industrial Park to city services along the north side of U.S. 54.
"This is not the appropriate way to conduct business," said Interim City Administrator Jay Newton during an October 2011 city council meeting (see 'City leaders address BTI sewer line and annexation' Kiowa County Signal – Oct.19, 2011).
During that meeting, which would begin a process leading to last week's completion of the deal, Newton expressed frustration that an unofficial agreement had been made, off the record, with BTI wherein the city would pay $103,500 to BTI for the cost of the sewer line and the BTI property, in turn, would be annexed by the city.
Newton later said that he felt neither former city administrator Steve Hewitt — who had agreed to the proposal without seeking approval from the city council — nor BTI had acted "underhanded" and expressed a desire to complete the agreement before leaving, though he was unable to do so (see 'BTI, city progress on sewer line, annexation' Kiowa County Signal – Nov. 2, 2011).
An inspection of the sewer line revealed significant sagging, which would delay the completion of the agreement until proper repairs were made (see 'Sewer snag is sag, city says' Kiowa County Signal – Dec. 21, 2011).
"There are issues we still need to resolve," said Estes in the article. "The functioning ability of the line is the only hang-up. That's what we are trying to resolve with the city and we're trying to determine that if [what we have done] is not fixing it, what is the next step. We'll continue to work on it."
Current City Administrator Ed Truelove, flanked by Greensburg Utilities Superintendent Mick Kendall, reported to the city council on Aug. 20 that after a recent inspection he felt the sewer line "…will do an effective job for the city." The council unanimously approved the $103,500 payment to BTI at the meeting.
Attempts to reach BTI Vice President Michael Estes for comment were unsuccessful.

As Serim Han, the wife of Ki-Suck Han, read a statement in Korean she cried and shielded her face from the media.
Han was killed by a Q train after being shoved off of the platform at a Times Square subway stop after he got into a verbal altercation with a deranged man who was yelling at and harassing straphangers on Monday, Dec. 3.
Daughter Ashley Han, 20, said that her father was someone who helped members of the community and would not turn his back if needed. She said she is relying on her family, friends and church to help her get through her father's death.
"I really wish I had a chance to tell him how much I loved him," she said.
Reverend Won Tae Cho of Faith Presbyterian Church said that in the same way that Han helped members of the church, they would in turn help his family now. Cho said the church has set up a fund that will cover medical, funeral, school and living expenses for the family.
Which is important, because Han was responsible for providing for the family due to his wife's disability and his daughter's focus on college.
Police eventually arrested 30-year-old homeless man Naeem Davis and charged him with Han's murder.
"The family is obviously relieved that the suspect has been apprehended, and they would like to see full justice served," said Comptroller John Liu, who accompanied the family last week. "Right now their focus is still on grieving."
Han immigrated to the United States from Korea 25 years ago and his family said he was always chasing the American dream. His priority was to find a way to get his daughter through college, and Ashley said her father was very focused on her schooling.
When the family was asked if they were concerned that no one tried to help Han, Ashley said, "the though of someone helping him up in a matter of seconds would have been great, but what happened has happened."

I think that we need to weigh how much cost can be passed on to the consumer. I saw figures at Target today for $8.24 each. And there was almost an entire new wave of Clone Wars figures. And you know what? I passed.
...Figures were $7-$8 in 1999, demand dropped over the next several years for several reasons and then we saw them drop down to $4.99 in 2002-2005. Could history repeat itself?
At my Target stores, BAD and CW figs are $9 flat, including tax.

Irondale, Ala., Oct 21, 2013 / 02:48 pm (CNA).- On Oct. 18, EWTN's board of governors promoted its network president, Michael Warsaw, to chairman of the board, and its executive vice president, Doug Keck, to the post of president.
Warsaw remains chief executive officer of EWTN Global Catholic Network, and Keck remains chief operating officer.
"I am extremely grateful to the EWTN Board for their confidence in appointing me to this added post," Warsaw said.
"It is an honor for me to succeed both Mother Angelica and the late-Deacon Bill Steltemeier who both served in the role of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer during their years at EWTN. I look forward to continuing to guide this important mission in the years ahead."
Warsaw has worked for EWTN since 1991, and had been named president in 2000, and CEO in 2009. He also serves as publisher of the National Catholic Register since the paper's acquisition by EWTN in 2011.
Keck, who joined EWTN in 1996, stated that "I feel blessed to be named the President of a network that positively impacts so many people's lives around the world."
He has worked for more than 35 years in media, and has overseen EWTN's television, radio, and internet programming and production, as well as hosting the program "Bookmark." He had been appointed COO in 2009.
EWTN was founded in 1981 by Mother Angelica, of the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration.
The network is now available in over 150 million television households in more than 140 countries and territories. In its mission it uses direct broadcast satellite television and radio services, AM and FM radio networks, worldwide short-wave radio, a website, and a publishing arm.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Nationally-ranked No. 10 MIT defeated Emmanuel College, 30-22, 30-27, 30-24, in the championship match of the MIT Men's Volleyball Invitational on Sunday. The Engineers (14-1) earned their second title in the three-year history of the tournament as the Saints collected championship plaudits last year. Scott Pollom received All-Tournament Team honors while Praveen Pamidimukkala was selected as the Tournament MVP.
MIT kicked the weekend off with a 30-18, 30-15, 30-18 win over Mount Ida College. Pamidimukkala tallied 11 kills, nine digs, and two aces while Matthew Ng notched a team-high 10 digs. Philip Rogoz registered 20 assists in two games as Caine Jette finished out the match with 11 assists. Pollom posted eight blocks in two games while Eric Reuland led the way with four aces. Ryan Dean bolstered Tech's defense with seven digs and five blocks.
Pamidimukkala once again posted 11 kills and nine digs, this time in a 30-25, 30-15, 30-20 decision over Bard College. Dean contributed 10 kills, six digs, and five blocks while Michael Demyttenaere totaled eight blocks. Reuland recorded seven kills, four blocks, four digs, and two aces as Rogoz dished out 39 assists.
On Sunday, MIT wrapped up pool play by defeating the College of Mount Saint Vincent, 30-18, 30-24, 30-24.

Tuesday 11th December 2012
Another hard day for both of us - I was alone in the office again, the phones didnt stop. And Mike had a hot day in the shed. Although he was quite pleased
with himself as during the day he had grabbed my camera and took a photo for the December Daily. Hmmmm, the old crow is developing a bad habit. Love the depth
of field that Mike got on the photo though.
I popped down the street at lunch time looking for a nice outfit for Christmas day. I tried on some capri pants at Sussans and was jumping about in the
changeroom because the size 14 fit me! Yippee.
I realised I missed out on a humdinger of a photo for the December Daily page today. I was pulled over by the police on the way home for a breathalyser. Arrgh!
And I had the camera sitting on the seat in the car next to me. Would a selfie taking the breathalyser have been out of bounds? I think not, but I would never
have lived it down at work.
It did make me laugh, Shannon nearly didnt recognise me. She saw my car but not recognising the driver was wondering who was driving, she said my face had
changed so much since she last saw me. That comment alone has me on a high tonight.
Checked out Eddies oranges hanging off the tree over the back fence to see if I could cheekily pick any, then I had a date with Jamie Oliver on telly.
I am going to try my hardest to finish wrapping the presents tonight. Im fiddling around way too much on the ribbons and bells and pom poms and goodness knows
what Im attaching. Hey but thats the way I roll, right? I wonder if anyone will notice in the paper unwrapping frenzy? Maybe Mike will help wrap tonight.
Maybe not!

EXCLUSIVESuge Knight and Katt Williams claim they are NOT TO BLAME for that massive parking lot brawl last week ... saying it started when some jerks flung racial slurs at them and shouted "F**k Obama" repeatedly.
As TMZ first reported, Suge and Katt were caught on video tangled up in a huge fracas last weekend outside Eden nightclub in Hollywood (see below).
A rep for Suge tells TMZ ... the rappers in NO WAY started the fight. The rep claims while Katt was talking to a TMZ photog ... a horde of guys started calling him the N-word, specifically shouting "f**king ni**er" and then "F**k Obama."
We're told Katt walked over the culprits to ask them to stop, but the group wouldn't quit. The verbal exchange got heated and Suge's rep says one guy got physical with Katt.
The rep tells us that's when Suge stepped in, trying to keep the incident from escalating further ... but Suge and Katt realized it was two against 15, so that's when they decided to get out of there.
But you'll recall ... an eye-witness that night -- who claimed Suge punched him -- said it was Katt who started the melee by calling some guy "a Mexican" and it escalated from there.

Restriction digests
- Determine the concentration of the DNA sample by running both the vector and insert ona 1% agarose gel and comparing the bands intensity with the ladder (concentration known).
- Calculate how much solution is needed to obtain desired total amount of DNA for digestion.
- The volume of DNA solution can be no more than 70% of the total solution. Therefore calculate the total volume of digestion (probably around 20µl or 30µl).
- Transfer the DNA, BSA, the appropriate buffer and ddH2O into a microcentrifuge tube. Finally, add the enzymes to the solution. N.B. The enzymes should be kept on ice before being added to the digestion.
- Incubate for 60-90min at 37°C.
- Use gel electrophoresis to confirm correct digestion.
- Gel purification can be used to obtain the desired digestion product from the gel.
Reaction mixtures:
|Required components
|1/20 Enzyme 1
|1.5µl EcoRI
|1/20 Enzyme 2
|1.5µl PstI
|3µl BSA
|1/10 Buffer* (x 10)
|3µl Buffer 4 (x 10)
|X/10 DNA solution
|20µl DNA (pSB1C3)
|7-X/10 ddH2O
|1µl ddH2O
|Total: 10/10
|Total: 30µl
- The buffer depends on the restriction enzymes used:
Prefix Insertion:
|Enzymes used:
|Required buffer:
|Prefix (insert)
|EcoRI & SpeI
|Buffer 2
|Suffix (vector)
|EcoRI & XbaI
|EcoRI buffer
Suffix insertion
|Enzymes used:
|Required buffer:
|Prefix (vector)
|SpeI & PstI
|Buffer 2
|Suffix (insert)
|XbaI & PstI
A typical ligation reaction mixture is around 10 μl and contains
- 1 μl DNA T4 ligase
- 1 μl DNA T4 ligase buffer (check to ensure it contains ATP) (10x)
- Purified, linearised vector*
- Purified, linearised insert*
- ddH2O
- There should be a ratio of 6:1 for moles of insert to vector. This can be calculated using the following equation:
Insert mass (ng) = 6 x (Insert length (bp)/vector length (bp) x Vector mass (ng) Once the solution is made up, the tubes are vortexed and then spun down for around 10 seconds in a microcentrifuge. The ligation is done at 14°C in a water bath in the cold cabinet, and is left overnight.
E. coli Transformation
- One 15ml tube for each sample, in addition to one for a negative control, is put on ice.
- Tubes containing 1ml LB were incubated in a waterbath is set to 42°C .
- Between 25µl and 40µl of competent cells is transferred to each tube.
- The cells are left on ice for 10min.
- 5µl of the DNA sample are transferred into each tube, but ddH2O is added to the control tube(s). The liquids are added directly into the cell culture.
N.B. During pipetting the sides of the tube should not be touched to avoid contamination. Bubbles should be avoided because they can cause the cells stress.
- The tubes are transferred into the 42°C water bath for exactly 45 seconds and then put on ice for 2 minutes. Timing must be exact.
- The tubes are put on a rack and 1ml LB is added to all of them. This levels the temperature of the solution at about 37°C.
- The tubes are then put into a shaking incubator at 37°C for 1 hour.
- The solution from the 15ml tubes is then transferred to a microcentrifuge tube and spun at 13500 rpm for a few seconds.
- The supernatant is discarded and the remaining LB is mixed with the pelleted cells. This increases the concentration of the cells in the LB.
- 50 – 100μl of this solution is then pipetted onto chloraphenicol plates and left overnight at 37°C. The next day colony PCR can be used to examine if the transformation was successful.
Single Colony PCR (SCP)
A master mix is generally used for SCP, as well as Taq polymerase because the high error rate is not an issue here as it is purely confirmatory. Cells from an individual colony are first spread onto a replica plate, and the same loop is then used to inoculate a microcentrifuge tube containing 100μ ddH20 which will later be heated to 95°C to be used in the SCP (the same loop is finally used to inoculate LB for the overnight cultures). The protocol for the first SCP was as follows:
- 19.75μl ddH20
- 2.5μl Barnes buffer
- 1μl template (this comes from the tube that contains 100μ ddH20 and was inoculated with cells.
- 0.5μl dNTPs
- 0.5μl forward primer
- 0.5μl reverse primer
- 0.25μl Taq polymerase.
We also used a positive control (other DNA to which the primers will not anneal) and a negative control (ddH20).
The temperature cycle was as follows:
- 95°C for 30 seconds
- 30 cycles of:
95°C for 30 seconds
62°C for 90 seconds
68 °C for 30 seconds
- 68°C for 10 minutes
- Hold at 4°C
Overnight Cultures
Tubes containing 5ml of LB medium are inoculated with cells from one colony and then 5μl of antibiotic (for example chloramphenicol) is added. They are then left at 37°C overnight.
SDS-PAGE – Protocol
Short for: Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis
- Prepare gel
Two glas plates are cleaned with ethanol and are fitted into a holder. The separation layer of the gel is prepared first, following the recipe but before and after addition of the last two substances the solution should be inverted. The mixture, that now starts to polymerize, in now pipetted between the glass plates until it reaches the green bar. Around 700µl of ethanol are than added ontop of the gel, which is left to solidify. The separating gel contains 10% acrylamide (toxic!) that has been polymerized by TEMED. Stacking gel contains less acryamide for wide pores. After the gel has solidified take out the comb. Once solidified the stacking gel can be prepared using a different recipe but same method. Once the ethanol has been removes the solution is poured onto of the gel and the comb inserted. The gel is now left to solidify.
- Load samples
The proteins, which have been denatured by SDS, are loaded into the wells.
- Run gels
The gel is run at 100V for around 2-3 hours until dye front has reached the bottom of the gel.
- Analysis of results
The gel can be analyzed by staining with Coomassie blue (see protocol) or Western Blot (see protocol)

What's up? I'm looking for a kiter to kite with on Mondays or Fridays...sometimes I can get out on Saturday. I'm coming from Monterey, so I'd prefer Waddell or 3rd St/Coyote Pt. I've never actually been to either of these places, but I'm tired of the pathetic, unpredictable and sometimes dangerous wind of Monterey/Carmel. I'm a beginner, but I've got all the gear. I've taken a lesson or two and I can body drag like a champ. I'm just having a few issues with getting up on the board. If your in or near Monterey and you might be able to go or need a ride and could lend a hand let's link up. I've got a SUV so I can transport gear and two others. You can either reply to this or my email email@example.com.
I've had too many close calls kiting alone, but none have stopped me from trying. I'd just like someone there to either capture my last moments or at least tell my wife where my body could be recovered. In the future, if I don't meet my demise, maybe you can take a picture of my first handle pass. Let me know.

New Delhi: The union cabinet Friday approved an ordinance for enhanced punishment in cases of crimes against women, including sexual assault, acid attacks, voyeurism and trafficking, as suggested by the Justice J.S. Verma Committee.
Minister of State for Home R.P.N. Singh told IANS the government had recommended to President Pranab Mukherjee that an ordinance be issued.
He said the government had made a commitment to enact a stringent law on crimes aginst women and had kept its word.
Law Minister Ashwani Kumar said the ordinance will have original provisions of the criminal law amendment bill and recommendations of Justice Verma panel.
"The UPA government has responded to sensitivities of people by acting with utmost expedition," he said, adding the provisions of the ordinance were aimed at enhancing sense of security and protection of "our mothers and sisters" and other citizens.
"It is one of the more progressive legislations. Hopefully, it will be effective. The speed with which UPA acted in the matter validated our assurance," he said.
Sources said that the ordinance will be replaced by a law in the budget session of parliament expected to start in the second half of February.
The criminal law amendment bill is currently being examined by the standing committee of home ministry.
The sources said ordinance deals with crimes against women and the term of punishment for those accused of grave crime against women would be enhanced.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had Wednesday assured Justice Verma, a former Chief Justice of India, that the government would be prompt in pursuing the recommendations of the committee he headed.
TheVerma Committee, set up by the government Dec 23 to review laws to provide speedier justice and enhanced punishment in cases of aggravated sexual assault, submitted its report to the government Jan 23.
The panel was set up in the wake of outrage over the gruesome gang-rape and brutalities committed on a 23-year-old woman in a moving bus in south Delhi Dec 16.
Life imprisonment for gang-rape, but no death penalty even if the victim dies or is reduced to a vegetative state, were among the recommendations of the panel.
The committee had not suggested death penalty for rapists because there were overwhelming suggestions from women organisations against it.
The panel had recommended that stalking, acid attacks and voyeurism should be considered separate crimes and suggested seven years imprisonment for acid attacks on women and for voyeurism, including making MMS clips and passing them on to others.
It said trafficking in women should be punishable with rigorous imprisonment for a term between seven to 10 years.
"Stalking or attempts to contact a person repeatedly through any means shall be liable to get a term of up to three years," it said.
The committee, however, did not suggest lowering the legally defined age of "juvenile" from 18 to 16 years, a demand by women activists after one of the accused in the Delhi gang-rape was found to be below 18 years of age.
In its recommendations, the committee came down heavily on the administration, including police and citizens, for not helping the grievously wounded young woman and her male friend who were thrown off the bus after the gang-rape.
It also took an open dig at the "peculiarity" of the Delhi government of not having the power over police in the city and said this "ambiguity" needs to be removed to maintain law and order and ensure accountability.

Not only does MLS want to open a new 25,000-seat arena in the park, but they want to create an entirely new team that would call Queens home.
The proposed arena would be built over the Fountain of the Planets, a relic from the World's Fairs the park hosted.
MLS officials hope to get the project started sometime in 2014. Construction on the site is expected to last from 15 to 18 months and create an estimated 2,100-2,300 jobs, which will be union labor.
The stadium itself will look to hire 160 full-time employees and 750 part-time employees, which will have an emphasis on hiring locally.
MLS Commissioner Don Garber spoke before the Queens chamber of Commerce last Friday to drum up support for the project. Garber is from Queens, and said his hometown borough is the perfect place for the league's 20th team, even more so than Miami and Houston.
"This is the perfect place for a soccer team to be based," he said. "This is the world's borough, this is the world's game, and this is the world's park."
Garber said the cultural diversity of Queens is a key factor in why MLS believes that a soccer team in the borough will be successful.
While the proposed stadium would hold 25,000 people now, MLS stated that it will be asking the city for approval to have a 35,000-seat stadium, giving it the ability to expand seating in the future. A spokesperson for MLS said that if an expansion did occur, no more park land would be required.
But not everyone is on board with the proposal. Local community groups have been hold rallies and town halls in opposition to taking park land and handing it over for development.
Anna Dioguardi Moyano of Queens Community House, a member of the Fairness Coalition of Queens, voiced her concern regarding the proposed stadium at a recent hearing.
"We feel like there is merit, but it is deeply problematic for the park," she said.
Moyano said putting a stadium in the middle of the park is a concern for parents who use the park on weekends and play with their children.
"The stadium will take up precious and important space," she said.
But Garber said he believes that the neighborhoods surrounding the park would benefit from the stadium.
"I am 100 percent convinced that this park will be a better place, be more connected with the community, provide jobs and economic benefit and will just be something that people will be proud of," he said.
Garber made it clear that MLS wants to be known for being an involvedmember of the Queens community.
"We will make a significant investment in the community, recreations and sports in the park, so as part of our project we're going to rebuild all of the soccer fields."
If approved, the stadium would host approximately 25 soccer games a year, plus roughly 15 other events. Garber said attendees would utilize Citi Field's parking lot, working with the Mets on scheduling.
Garber said the project could include additional parking being created under the Van Wyck Expressway.
"Not one blade of grass will be used for parking," he said. "I think our stadium, and our team and an engaged owner that will be involved in the community will make that park better."

I've got the 12 inch of this with Prince Fari and the dub on a dubplate.
Anybody know if the dub was ever released? I think the 45 came out with a different track on the otherside (but i could be wrong)
Is it really about Joe Gibbs? First time I hear. Will have to play the song and check the lyrics closely when I have the time.

Very few Argentines were on hand for the proceedings, for the white smoke followed by the traditional proclamation, Habemus papam — "We have a pope." But on the other side of the world, the people of Buenos Aires erupted with jubilation when they learned that the new pontiff, Pope Francis, was Argentine.
The celebration was more about national pride than religious pride, however. At the moment that Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio has become the face of Catholicism in the Southern Hemisphere and the world, his own country is becoming far less religious. Only about 25% of Argentines regularly attend church — far below the 44% attendance rate in the United States — and evangelical Protestantism is growing in popularity. Even churchgoing Catholics in Argentina, like their counterparts in North America, flout the church's dictates about marriage, birth control and education.
Perhaps that explains why, so soon after the celebrations, a dark and sobering question came to the fore: What did Pope Francis do during the "dirty war"?
Bergoglio, 76, was about to turn 40 when the Argentine military seized power from President Isabel Peron in March 1976. A military junta, led by Gen. Jorge Rafael Videla, opened a shock campaign, claiming it was necessary in order to rid the country of communists.

The Gauchos were defeated in straight sets by the UCLA Bruins in front of 860 spectators on Friday night, extending their current losing streak to three matches. With the loss, UCSB falls to 2-5 (0-3 MPSF), while UCLA remains hot out of the gate with a mark of 9-1 (4-0 MPSF). Game scores for the match were 25-18, 25-20, 25-19.
As has been the problem so far this season, UCSB's team blocking was not up to par with their opponent. The Bruins outblocked UCSB 12-6 for the match, and hit a robust .432 for the match. Junior middle blocker Dylan Davis improved on his recent form, picking up four blocks on the evening after only recording a total of three over his last three matches.
Only one player was able to reach double-digits in kills- UCLA's Jeremy Casebeer, who finished with 10. UCSB was led by senior outside hitter Blaine Nielsen's nine kills. Blaine had an especially efficient night, hitting .389, bested on his own team only by sophomore middle blocker Evan Licht's .444.
Licht tallied five kills on the night and also led all players with two service aces.
It was the first match of the season that a Gaucho failed to record 10 or more kills. It was also the first match of the season in which junior outside hitter Miles Evans did not lead the team in kills.
For the match, UCLA recorded eight total attacking errors. The Gauchos had seven in each of the three games.
UCSB will look to right the ship next week, as they return to the Los Angeles area for a pair of matches. First up is a match at USC on Wednesday, Feb. 1, followed by a tilt at Pepperdine on Friday, Feb. 3.
Both matches can be followed live by accessing Presto's "Primetime" App. Log on to UCSBgauchos.com, go to the Men's Volleyball schedule, and click on the"live stats' link for the match you're interested in. You can follow each point and see player statistics and bios.

I've never _heard_ of Pulse. Should I?
I have heard Google's hangouts are pretty decent for video though, especially since you can add moustaches.
Google+ is adding group video to its hangouts on Android, while Nokia Pulse gets updated for those who like their social networking a little less social. Both networks are very mobile-orientated, but Nokia Pulse is primarily about geotagging content for sharing with groups of cloud-based friends while Google+ has bigger fish …

I don'tr find is sickening, I rather like it.
Sad tough that this is of course science fiction: the latency of *any* form of telecommunication makes long-discance music making impossible, until round-trip latencies in the order of 10ms are achieved. And they won't be for a good time yet.
Well maybe it's not too sad because it means that to do something like singing together we still have to meet in person!
10ms RTT implies a separation of less than 1,000 miles (since light travels just under 3,000km in that time). Add in inevitable processing delays and the slower speed of light in fibre and you're probably looking at a couple of hundred miles, max.
It is only available on Nokia hardware... hasn't anyone at Nokia worked out the flaw in this plan? It's dead before it even lived.
Although I do have to wonder how many Nokia owners would really be that interested in constantly sharing their location with people - the concept sounds so lame from the get go, to then restrict it to devices that have collapsing market share only compounds the fail.
At least with Google+, thanks to it's openly available API, it's likely to appear on any platform for which someone cares to build an app.
G+ still requiring "real" name? If so, still as useless as ever...
Interesting, so G+ might turn out to be something useful IF they ever start to support pseudonyms... Had missed that one, thanks.
I am 60 and British. I am /never/ going to participate in something called a "Hangout" under any circumstances.
Well, Quite.
Damn right. Look at FaceBook, they only have a ONE HUNDRED MILLION+ real names.
